Thanks all for the posts on the discussions forum. I know that i cant do the last weekend in Ocotber, but i think that the others are fine. Lets just decide on a day that suits most people. FYI i am in Sandy Springs, between I75 and Roswell Road (about a mile north of the perimeter). Very easy to get to from most locations. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'll be out of town the last weekend in October, other than that I hope to be there. Jayman |

ok, sounds like the 14th or 21st works best for most people. Just let me know. |
The last weekend is best for me. But if you schedule for 10/14, I will try to go... Hate to miss it... I already missed the spring trade. 10/14 is my mom's bday... maybe i can try to get some of her favorite plants for her bday before I go to see her???? 10/21 is not good for me. Thanks. |
I am very interested in the fall trade; this will be my first. Sandy Springs will be easy for me to get to. The middle of Oct sounds like a fine time. I will be watching this forum for more information. |

I can do either the 14th or the 21st. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Sat, Aug 5, 06 at 16:32
Last weekend I can not do, but the middle of October should be good!! GGG |
i really would like to firm up the date. Can we vote on the 14th and 21st October? Thanks |
- Posted by plants4meuc Ga zone 7 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 13, 06 at 20:39
I vote for Oct 14th. |

I'm lookin' good for the 14th! GGG |

Either is fine for me Linda Gail |
I vote for the 14th also. |
- Posted by lucyatlanta Z 7 GA (My Page) on Sun, Aug 20, 06 at 19:34
I'm good either the 14th or 21st and will be glad to help out. Anxious to lock-in a date. --Lucy |
I am good for either date. Do we have a trade list started? Let's get going. It's already the last of August. |
looks like it will be October 14th for the fall plant trade. Let the trading begin!! |
I have limelight artemesia, iris, daylilies, autumn joy seedum, a fountain, and probably a lot more once it gets a little cooler and i get out in the garden again for longer periods than i do now. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Tue, Aug 22, 06 at 13:18
I will definately have "Salvia black and blue", Salvia Guarantica (but I will only bring this one if someone asks specifically for it!). Of course I will try to have more, but this is definately what I do have now. Pins, I may have some mini-hostas for you. Small divisions, but they should look better by spring if given time to grow over winter. What I am looking for in particular are plugs of grasses. Native grasses are my most wanted...but I really any kind of perennial grasses. It will be sometime before I can do a total makeover of the property beside us, and some native grasses would surely fill in the back yard nicely until then. Plus we won't have to pay anyone to mow those!! GGG |
I don't know what else I'll have by then, but last week I dug up a whole bed of creeping fig and divided the very mature rootstock into about ten pots of various sizes, some are gallon pots and some are smaller, but all have several plants that could probably be divided again when they are planted into the ground. I'll be bringing all of these pots for sure, plus whatever else I can find, divide or propagate by October. |
Thanks, GGG. I would love the hostas if they are ready. I will have some black eyed susans, a division of creeping raspberry, helleborous babies, the green flowered helleborous, strawberry begonias, and purple roof irises. I may have more, but I need to get rid of the weeds that are hiding my good plants before I can see what I have. Carmen |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Mon, Aug 28, 06 at 23:34
Guess what? I probably can not get to the darned trade!! Hubby made plans for band to practise and record that day. Other members are all from other states so this is the "big deal" to get everyone here! I can however get your plants to you Carmen. That is not a problem! I will take some photos of the hostas I have so you may choose. OK? GGG |
I would love to participate in the trade. Extras I have are black eyed susan currently rooting, whatever else I can fit in the truck ! Harriet |
pins2006, Do your creeping raspberries have thorns? I am also interested in your helleborous babies, & the green flowered helleborous. I am looking for fruit bearing bushes/trees/vines. Please let me know what you want in exchange. I am also looking for Japanese Morning Glory seeds (or unusual MG ones), climbing hydrangeas, deep lilac-color crape myrtles, lilacs, snowball hydrangea (r these the ones that bloom early in the spring?), yellow camillias. Please let me know what you are looking for. |
vnginger, no, the creeping respberries don't have thorns. They also don't have raspberries. lol Here is a link where you can find out more about it. I'll be glad to give you the helleborous - both kinds. Anything else? lzygrdner, I'd love to have some pineapple sage. Do you think it would overwinter outside or is that iffy? I want to be able to have it take off next spring. Everybody, since I can't edit my first post, I want to add that I have Japanese anemones for trade. I know I owe somebody some from the spring trade where I plum forgot to bring it. Please let me know who you are, cause I can't remember at all, and I want to fulfill my end of the trade. Carmen |
I am going to try to make starts of my veilchenblau rose. You can see a picture of it in full bloom at this link, I hope: http://photos.gardenweb.com/garden/galleries/2006/09/veilchenblau.html this is the veilchenblau listed on "Garden Galleries" - this is the only way I could figure out how to post a decent picture at all. (Another picture is in that gallery called something like "walk away from my house" and "walk to my house" - Carmen, you should take a look, since you've been to my garden a couple of years ago you could see the difference. I will also have to weed before I know what I've got but sure would be nice to be there (no gym meet that I know of...) Harriet, I am such a sucker for roses and I've always wanted Ballerina rose; you need to post your needs. ta, |
Wow! It's beautiful!! Is it really that purple? I need to come by and see it in person, even if it isn't flowering. (How's that for inviting myself to tour your beautiful garden? lol) If you do make starts, please include one for me. Carmen |
i have gladioli bulbs if anyone wants any |
You got it Carmen. In the past they've been easy to root but this being fall, I'm not sure it will do as well as in the spring. rb |
- Posted by lindagail41 zone 7 GA (My Page) on Mon, Sep 4, 06 at 13:15
Carmen, I'm not organized enough to post my list of available plants, but I would love some japanese anemone. Can't seem to have luck with purchased ones, maybe a traded one will do better for me. Linda |
Anyone interested in Heliotrope "Fragrant Delight"? It's a summer annual, but can be used indoors in winter. I do find the fragrance delightfully vanilla-y. Other items to trade: * Achillea (yarrow - white) I'm seeking sun loving fragrant plants, preferably less than 3ft tall. Natives, especially ferns. |
Pam, I would love to get Penstemon (pink)and Persicaria (Red Dragon)from you. I don't know if I have any fragrant plants that you would like, but please check my list to see if we can make a trade. Carmen |
Pam, I would love some hellebores if you have any left. I also have some hardy hibiscus to trade, and some yellow yarrow. Also some white sedum (looks like autumn joy). |
Linda, I have Honorine Joubert. It's about to pop. I can bring you at least one; I'll have to take a look at it later when I'm puttering about and see if I can get more than one. They've definitely multiplied - they seem pretty indestructible. Rose |

So far so good on the 14th for me. Here goes: HAVES: WANTS -- tons of stuff including HUGE list of non-plant material at the bottom of the list. You have been warned!!: Roses -- plants and/or cuttings (would especially like some climbers but interested in all kinds & colors. Also Looking for an older climber called 'Golden Showers'. medium/large old-fashioned iron teapot OK, I've literally emptied my head of every possible thing I could use this coming year. Sorry for the long read but you never know what folks may have sitting around that they might not think about for a plant swap. I've been looking for many of these items on Freecycle so thought I'd try my luck here as well. And if you don't have anything from my want list please don't hesitate to tempt me with other plants or items as well --Thanks. Squirrellypete |
Carmen, Yes, you can have some Penstemon and Persicaria. These should be divisions, maybe a little small. I'll let you know once I've dug them up. Can I trade for a clump of fragrant hosta? And maybe one of your green flowered Hellebores? Barbara, |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Sep 7, 06 at 11:02
nosyrosie -- I'd love a start of your vielchenblau rose too if you make some. Pam -- I'd like some of your Miss Huff lantana I have a few more items to add to my trade list too Squirrellypete |
Does anyone want some red dock? I have three of them to trade, all about one quart size. A nice way to get some red into the shade garden. Will trade them for whatever a red dock is worth to you. |
Squirrellypete, The Miss Huff Lantana is all yours. Could I have a blue false indigo in trade? Thanks. I *may* have some Asclepias tuberosa, if I can save them from the lawn mower today. I'll also be bringing some gardening books. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sat, Sep 9, 06 at 15:45
Hi Pam. Thanks for the lantana; I'll put you down for some Blue false indigo. Squirrellypete |
Squirrellypete, could I get some fairytale veronica, fugi white balloom flower, and purity candytuft? Let me know what you would like. Pam 3, you can have several gren helloborus, but my dh went crazy on a windy day with roundup, and my hostas have taken a nose dive. I have lost several, and I am so upset. Hopefully some will come back next springa and I can trade then. Is there anything else of mine that you would like? Carmen |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sun, Sep 10, 06 at 22:01
Hi Carmen. Got you down for all three. I'd like some of your purple roof Iris. Thanks! Squirrellypete |
- Posted by lindagail41 zone 7 GA (My Page) on Wed, Sep 13, 06 at 10:08
Lzygardner, I am interested in your camellia sinesis. Please look at my list and see if I have anything you would like to trade for. vnginger, any chance you are thinking of snowball viburnum rather than hydrangea? If so, I have some. Check my list of wants. Pam, I would like your lantana 'Athens Rose'. Anything on my list of have that you would like to trade for? Rose, I would love the Honorine Joubert, if you see anything on my list I have to trade for it. I know you are "a sucker for roses." I haven't propagated any this year (except 'KnockOut'). I think I have a two-year old Belinda's Dream, I will check after the rain. But if you can deal with fresh cuttings, you can have anything I have. Let me know if you would like to see a list of those. Squirrely, I have a bundle of tulle scraps, nothing more than a square yard, one outdoor light fixture (I can't imagine where the other one went) flowering almond, hibiscus 'Texas Star', and pretty sure I can pull up lots of river birch when the rain ends. (I'm loving this rain!) aegopodium (bishop's weed) By special request: monkey grass, mondo grass, nandina, white ginger lily 'Mama Claude's', yellow canna, setcresia (purple heart), peony (pink), verbena 'Homestead Purple' Things I want ruellia elegans That may be all, or it may not! |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Wed, Sep 13, 06 at 11:00
Hi Linda. You have mail! Squirrellypete |
I don't have much to trade this fall. I have, as usuall, plenty of Sedums and Creeping Jenny, some Mazus, a couple hardy ferns(Thelypteris torresiana),one or two Spider Lillies (Hymenocallis X Festalis), a couple Pink Angel Trumpets, one White Angel Trumpet and of course a few more hardy Amaryllis(which are really Hippeastrum (Orange Soveriegn)) and one Vitex Tree from a rooted cutting. Seeds I have are: Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine Asclepias currasavica (Blood Flower) Sensative Plant (Mimosa pudica) Strawberry Gomphrena Purple Gomphrena Toothache/Eyeball Plant(Spilanthes acmela) I also have a single Agave Americana(Cetury Plant) that is a rooted sucker from my parent plant. This plant is not hardy here and must be protected in winter plus it takes 15 years to bloom so you have to really want it. Awesome center-piece for a large pot. As usall my want list is simple too. Oh Yeah, I will be bringing a pair of pink colored pig candle holders on shepherds hooks for Door Prizes if we are offering door prizes this time. |
Carmen, Do you have any roof irises left? Lindagail, the Lantana "Athens Rose" will probably be a cutting. Is that ok? If so, I'll trade for the centaura montana. Pam |
I've got cuttings of veilchenblau looking pretty good for Carmen, squirrellypete, and vnginger. Also will pot up a couple of anemone Hon. Joubert for Lindagail. Lindagail, I could use some chrysogonum. This is at bmmalone's house? (Barbara, right?) Don't forget to add me to your email telling us where this is taking place. thanks, Rose |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Wed, Sep 13, 06 at 21:01
Vroomp -- I have some more Hardy Hibiscus cuttings I can bring you. Have pink ones that will get HUGE, a red burgundy color and 'Luna Blush'. nosyrosie -- I have cuttings from a white form which I am told is Bridalwreath. Also have a few cuttings of a blue/purple variety called 'First Choice' which supposedly stays compact and only grows to 3 feet or so. Squirrellypete |
I have: Taro (elephant ears) I'm looking for: Miss Huff lantana |
Squirrley and Pam 3, I have roof irises for both of you. Vroomp, I have sedum Autumn Joy for you, and maybe I can find a rooted Oak Leaf hydrangea. If not, I can certainly bring you cuttings. Lindagail, if they are not spoken for, could I have a white aster, a dicentra cucullaris, and a pink coreopsis? Please let me know what you would like of mine. Carmen |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Fri, Sep 15, 06 at 14:53
Esther -- I have tons of Black Eyed Susans. I'd love to trade for some Bearded Iris (would love any colors except Burgundy). Squirrellypete |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Fri, Sep 15, 06 at 14:57
I just got in a few new plants for the garden -- if anyone would like me to try to root some cuttings of these by trade just let me know. Otherwise I'll just wait until Spring to try: 'White Knight' Weigelia Squirrellypete |
Vroomp, I completely forgot to ask if you still have the rooted cutting of the vitex. I bought one from Pikes for $25 and it is totally dead. I'm taking it back today, so I really do need yours. Please let me know if it is available so I'll know if I have to buy another one or not. Carmen |
esthermgr, I'll be bringing some "Alba Marginata" Hosta, if you're interested. I have other unnamed hostas (solid and variegated), too. Pam |
Pins, thanks for the Autumn Joy and hopefully the Oak Leaf Hydrangea. The Vitex is yours. I shall pot it up this weekend as it is actually growing in the ground right now. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sat, Sep 16, 06 at 19:25
Vroomp -- so sorry the 'Honeycomb' did not make it. I have a recent crop that were transplanted into pots after rooting and have been growing in them now for about 6 weeks and are doing very well. Would you like a replacement for it? I can bring you extras too if you would like. I will go ahead and pot up some extra Hibiscus for you tomorrow. I also have an Oakleaf Hydrangea for you. I will also pot that up now to give it extra time to adjust. I'd love a white Angel Trumpet and/or spider lilies if you still have those. Sincerely, Squirrellypete |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sat, Sep 16, 06 at 19:35
Would love to especially do some daylily trading. I just did some fall dividing/transplanting and here's some extra named varieties I have available. Most of these will be single fan divisions. Would like to trade for other named varieties I don't already have. Please e-mail me if interested in swapping. HAVE: Little wine Cup Thanks. Squirrellypete |
SquirrellyPete I put you down for a spider Lilly and one White Angel Trumpet (which still leaves one left everyone). And I would love another Honeycomb!! Thanks!! |
- Posted by lindagail41 zone 7 GA (My Page) on Thu, Sep 21, 06 at 8:17
esthermgr, I would like some southern wood fern. From your want list I can bring rudbeckia, hostas, or cast iron plant. Let me know if we can make a trade. Linda |
- Posted by gottahosta NE_GA7b (My Page) on Thu, Sep 21, 06 at 17:43
Hi, all I will have Angel Trumpet cuttings and hostas to trade. Hostas- check my trade list, and email me. Brugmansias- Cypress Gardens- low, spreading very heavy flowering All of above very fragrant. ******************************************* I'm looking for Japanese Iris and hardy or tropical hibiscus. Tempt me! lol! Any fancy daffodil bulbs. |
i haven't read the previous messages, so if any trades are pending i should be able to reply next week. BUT, i do have a lot of slate tiles that were taken up from an outside patio. The largest is just over 12" x 18", but most are smaller. If you would like some please let me know |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Sun, Sep 24, 06 at 12:19
I plan to be there. Please check my trade list which is updated, rather than I re-posting here. Thank you. |
Will someone please email the directions to me? I have no idea where to go. Thanks, |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Thu, Sep 28, 06 at 13:23
I need direction too. |
Please email me an address. I know Sandy Springs like the back of my hand and don't need directions. |
- Posted by lucyatlanta Z 7 GA (My Page) on Fri, Sep 29, 06 at 19:02
Has the date been decided for the Fall trade? Would appreciate direction to where to go and what to bring. Looking forward to it. Thanks --Lucy |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Sat, Sep 30, 06 at 19:49
Please email me the directions. Looks like I may get to come. This is my first swap and I don't have a lot of variety to bring but I do have the following: These have been growing in pots a while: (Don't know variety unless specified) I have antique roses and can definely take cuttings of the following: Seed: THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE: I may have some more things. I'll check. |
Please email me directions. |
I will also be needing directions, or at least a street address so I can get mapquest directions. In addition to the 10 or so pots of creeping fig I mentioned earlier that I will be bringing, I can bring about the same number of pots of chocolate mint, unless everyone feels that is an invasive plant I should not bring. People seemed to take it the last time I brought it, but maybe by now everyone who wants it has it. Let me know what you all think. I've also got a couple of pots' worth of Georgia Blue veronica, the groundcover, to bring, and I hope to have ready to bring a few small pots of another cute little groundcover whose name I don't know, but it's got wiry stems and tiny little green leaves and looks great spilling out out of a pot. I've been trying to root some Alabama Crimson honeysuckle but those darned squirrels keep digging it out of the pots. They're driving me crazy! I should also have a couple of pots of creeping raspberry groundcover. And there are at least a couple of Lady Banks roses that should be very well rooted by now in a large pot, but I couldn't say whether they are white or yellow. If someone wants to take a chance and doesn't care which color they get, let me know and I'll bring them. Otherwise I could wait until spring, when perhaps they will already have bloomed and I'll have identified the variety. I'll bring something for lunch, too. Is there a list somewhere for that? Is it ok to bring a community garden friend who is not a member of gardenweb, or must she join this website in order to come? |
pins, not sure if i replied before, but i have lots of limelight artemesia for you. |
Farmer Pickle, could I please get some of your Salvia Koyamae - Prennial Japanese Yellow Sage. white Japanese anemone (I have pink if you'd like it), and Sun Ray coreopsis? Westender, I'd love a start of your Lady Banks rose. I don't care what color it is at all. I have an arched gate I'd love to have it draped over. Thanks, |
lzygrdner, i would love some pineapple sage (small 6-12 inches) black and blue sage if you have any left. Anything you are looking for? |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Tue, Oct 3, 06 at 22:29
Hi Carmen Got you down for those 3. What kind of pink anemone, single or double? If you have picture or link I'll be able to tell if it's different from what I have. Otherwise I would be interested in you hostas, miniature size ones. farmerpickle |
Westender I need some of that Creeping Fig if you please. |
Carmen, I will pot up one of the Lady Banks roses and put your name on it. Vroomp, how many pots of creeping fig do you want me to reserve for you? Bmmalone, thanks for the address. |
2-3 would do me fine if you can spare it. I have a concrete wall I need to cover in one corner of my yard. |
I need directions to the fall trade please. |
Did we decide on a time? |
I was looking for a time, too. Since we'll be having lunch (are we?) will we meet at 10 or so? I emailed Barbara yesterday but haven't heard back. If anybody knows, please let us all know. |
Yikes, Barbara, I didn't realize it was you who wrote about the time. Mea culpa, mea culpa. So, what time do you want us there? Carmen |
Maybe have the trade at 11, and then eat directly after? |
Sounds good to me. I'll see y'all there. |
I looked over the list and didn't see but one reference. Barbara, are you planning lunch so we should bring something or would you rather we just trade and have snacks. Let me know so I'll bring something to share. |
lunch sounds good.there is a posting on the discussions section. Maybe arrive after 10.30am and trade around 11.15am and then lunch? |
Botanicat, what type Jap Maples are those? I would like one if they are disectum or small leaf varieties. I have Bloodgoods already. |
- Posted by lucyatlanta Z 7 GA (My Page) on Sat, Oct 7, 06 at 16:32
Plan to attend the trade -- would someone please email directions to me? Thanks. --Lucy |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Sat, Oct 7, 06 at 20:10
Anyone has Mexican Bush Sage to spare? They are beautiful isn't it! |
Please email me directions. Thanks! Botanicat |
Vroomp, I don't know the name of the Jap. maple but can send a picture to you if you email me. I haven't figured out how to post pictures here yet. It isn't a very finely cut leaf though. |
- Posted by lindagail41 zone 7 GA (My Page) on Tue, Oct 10, 06 at 8:03
Barbara, please e-mail directions. Linda Gail |
I would love to attend, could someone please email me directions? |
first of all, sorry i have not emailed people with directions before, but you should all have received them by now. if not, let me know. secondly, door prizes, yes sounds like a good idea. I have a couple of things. lzygrdner if you have any pineapple sage (small 6-12 inches)or westender, any friends are welcome - maybe they will join garden web after the trade. |
I have not received any directions! |
- Posted by gottahosta NE_GA7b (My Page) on Wed, Oct 11, 06 at 15:50

Hi everyone, first I want to say I plan to come to the trade, but I am totally unprepared and so I will not be doing my normal gizillion prearranged trades. I have to say I have totally been neglecting my yard lately and you guys as well. But I am coming with whatever I have time to pot up by Saturday. I do ahve a few things I know I need to get rid of because I am not going to try and overwinter them again this year. so if anyone wants the following let me know-- a large Datura (double purple and white flowers) Also I have I would like any daffodil bulbs, crocus or other early spring bloomers you might have. I also have the items on my trade list. also Danielle do you still have any of the honeycomb butterfly bush? I had one and it died when I tried to move it too late this spring. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Wed, Oct 11, 06 at 22:26
Hi Kathy, glad you'll get to come. Yes, I have extra 'Honeycomb' BB already potted and I'll bring you one. See you all soon! Squirrellypete |
No mail here! |
vroomp you have mail - i hope! |
Sorry, still no mail here. Botanicat |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Oct 12, 06 at 21:41
Hi Barbara. I still need directions too. Sorry for speaking up so late! Thanks. Sincerely, Squirrellypete |
Still no mail here either! Need those directions, please. |
If you need directions and haven't heard from Barbara, email me and I can give you the address and directions. Carmen |
I've once again let the plant swap sneak up on me! Please e-mail me directions. Thanks, Richard Hanson |
i have emailed everyone (at least once!) with directions apart from pjb71 who i can't find an email address for. I will check mail up until 9am Saturday morning, so if you have still not received directions please let me know. Barbara |

When I first looked at the 870A Fuzion I thought that it looked a little stark. There is a ton of open space on the board, especially the lower half of the board. But then it occurred to me that this is a good thing as it allows for good air flow and also takes into account the potential for "enthusiast" minded cooling.
Starting off at the top of the board, we see some typical design logic for AMD based systems. The RAM slots are very close together which can hinder some of the higher-end RAM with oversized heat spreaders.
The space around the AM3 socket is very clean. This is where MSI invested the money in those Hi-c CAP (Highly-Conductive Polymerized Capacitors). These parts use a rare metal at their core and provide for excellent heat and electrical properties (one estimate says they can run at 85c for around 16 years). They also can self-heal in the event of problems while their flat size helps keep the area around your CPU and memory clean.
There is an odd feature located near the power regulation components. This is a single USB 3.0 port sticking up right out of the board. I am not sure why this is here, but I think it has something to do with an optional component that I caught a glimpse of. This is a front mounted (3.25-inch bay) single USB3.0 port. I have a feeling that this is where that would plug in. However, if you do not have this optional component, you are left with a limited use USB3.0 port.
In the center (well, the figurative center) of the board rests both the AMD 770 chipset and the Fuzion chip. These are under s fairly stout heatsink that is intended to keep them both very cool. The Fuzion chip (as MSI calls it) is provided by Lucid Logix and is the heart of the dual GPU performance on the 870A Fuzion.
This brings me to an interesting question. If the 870A is powered by a AMD 770 chipset...well, I am sure you can see where I am going with this. It is a little misleading and also explains the reason for only two SATA 3.0 ports (we will talk about that a little later). You also have an extra 6-pin power connector to keep clean power flowing to the two PCIe slots (and to the Fuzion chip I would imagine).
The lower half of the board is also clean with only five slots showing. There are two PCIe x16 slots which are separated by two x1 PCIe slots. These are rounded out by a single PCI 2.0 slot.
The other half of the bottom of the board holds a few other fun items. We find the OC Genie button. This turns on the single step overclocking function available on most MSI motherboards. Next up are the six SATA II ports. Four are at a 90 degree angle while two are mounted in the more traditional way. These two ports are in between two 90 degree angled ports. It makes for an interesting configuration, but can work out to give you a good mix of connections for different case styles.
As you would expect, the ports on the 870A Fuzion are pretty typical. We find the remaining USB 3.0 port, six USB 2.0 ports, a single GBe LAN port and the common audio output options. In all the 870A Fuzion is a clean and well laid out board. We only hope that this attention to design extends into performance.

Concentrated Ice Breaking Effort on Kennebec River on Friday
Concentrated Ice Breaking Effort on Kennebec River on Friday January 28, 20108:00 PM Safety UrgedThe US Coast Guard will have three ice-breakers operating in the Kennebec River between Bath and Gardiner Friday beginning at approximately 9:30 am. This concentrated effort will break up all ice from shore to shore in the main channel of the river. Any structures or equipment left on the ice will be destroyed. In addition, all those in the area observing the ice-breaking are warned to stay well back from the river. The Maine Department of Marine Resources is working with the fishing community to make sure any fishing shacks still at risk are removed safely. The Maine Marine Patrol is overseeing safety on the river during the ice-breaking with support from the Maine Warden Service. A mile-long ice jam is still in place north of Gardiner. The State of Maine has requested Coast Guard assistance in ice-breaking on Kennebec River downstream of Gardiner. This action will open the lower river, reducing the chance that the ice will jam up again if it breaks up and moves downstream. Maine Emergency Management Agency joins the Coast Guard and Department of Marine Resources in urging all those along the river to stay out of harm's way.

IAG Cargo makes London-Mexico City route almost daily
IAG Cargo announced an increase in frequency on its London Heathrow to Mexico City route, making for almost daily flights.
An additional weekly flight will provide extra capacity to this market, with the new service set to begin on April 27. The expanded schedule will see the number of flights per week increasing from five to six.
"With the increasing importance of emerging markets, it is essential that we provide enough capacity to serve these key areas and support our customers' future growth," Rodrigo Casal (pictured right), regional commercial manager for LATAM at IAG Cargo, said. "The additional flight, which is to be served by a Boeing 747, will see a 20 percent boost in airfreight capacity for our customers as well as increasing the level of flexibility for global businesses in this region."
This route already provides important flows in and out of Mexico, with customers benefiting from the immediate connections offered at Heathrow, linking Mexico City to the more than 350 destinations that comprise IAG Cargo's network.
IAG said these flights are key to the transportation of one of Mexico's significant exports: perishable goods. The route allows perishable goods, such as berries, papayas and mangoes, to be delivered rapidly to many European export destinations including Amsterdam, Paris and Madrid. This is in addition to supporting other growing markets in Mexico, such as car manufacturing and fast-moving consumer goods.

Date 2012-03-08 Availability unrestricted Abstract "Over the past ten years, ITCs have become an important element in sustaining economic growth and poverty reduction through increasing efficiencies, enabling the delivery of social services, or creating new sources of income and employment" (Fourati, 2009, p. 37) . m-banking is one such technological development that has a potential to increase economic participation by low-income consumers. This research examines the factors influencing the adoption of mobile banking by low-income consumers in South Africa, with a special focus on the banking needs of the poor. The research framework was adapted from Tan and Teo (2000) and assessed the impact of these nine variables on the intention to adopt m-banking: relative advantage, compatibility with values, compatibility with banking needs, compatibility with cell phone use experience, complexity, "trialibility", risk, self-efficacy and support. Data for this study was collected through a physical hardcopy survey in Soweto, in Gauteng.The research found that low-income consumers will consider adopting m-banking as long as it is offers them an improved way over the current mechanisms of managing their money, it is compatible with their financial services needs and they consider themselves as having the necessary skills to use it.

416 Cabinet Submission by Evatt, Courtice and Pollard
Agendum 1343 26 May 1947,
RESUMPTION OF PRIVATE TRADE WITH JAPAN 1. The declared policy of the Australian Government on the resumption of private trade with Japan is:
(a) Opposition to a decision on resumption being taken outside the Peace Conference.
(b) Agreement that preparations for the resumption of trade may be undertaken provided equal facilities are granted to all Allied nationals.
(Telegram No. 459 to the Australian Embassy, Washington, which contains a statement of this policy is attached as Appendix A).
2. The Prime Minister, in a statement made on 13th May, 1947, re- emphasised that Australia would not follow the United States in resuming private trade with Japan on the date of 15th July, which has been proposed by the United States, and expressed the need for a prior decision on reparations and the completion of the Peace Treaty with Japan.
3. Australia has not received support from other countries represented on F.E.C. for the policy of Peace Conference decision on resumption of trade. However, it is considered that the policy should be adhered to by the Australian Government, precautions being taken to ensure that no disadvantages accrue to Australian commercial interests as a result of opposition by other countries.
4. Other nations, especially the United States and the United Kingdom (see Telegrams 1.9586, 9[0]25, 9[0]22/3 and 9691 attached [1]), have already begun preparations for the resumption of private trade. The United States has sent a Trade Mission comprising representatives of the Departments of State, War, Commerce and Treasury, and the United States Credit Corporation and Reconstruction Finance Commission to Japan to discuss with the Supreme Commander, Allied Powers, problems associated with the resumption of private trade. For twelve months the United States has had banking and insurance representatives in Japan and a United States airline has already commenced a service between the United States and Japan. The United Kingdom has a Shipping Mission in Tokyo, is sending an insurance representative and is considering the advisability of sending a representative of British banks. Further preparations, including compilation of lists of businessmen interested in trade in Japan and preliminary arrangements for the rescinding of the Trade with the Enemy Act, are also receiving the attention of the United Kingdom Government.
New Zealand is also making preparations and has made relaxations in its Trading with the Enemy Regulations which will facilitate preparations by private businessmen.
5. The Australian representative on F.E.C., acting under instructions, has presented a paper to F.E.C. on the question of admission of private Allied traders to Japan to engage in preparations for the resumption of private trade. The paper stresses that only preparations are envisaged and that the question of resumption, including date and conditions, is a matter for decision by the Peace Conference. Discussions of this paper in F.E.C. will probably take place in late May or early June. A decision on resumption of trade and preparations for resumption may, therefore, not be long delayed and Australia's policy needs complete arid immediate formulation.
6. At the present time commercial relations with Japan are restricted solely to trading between the Australian Government and S.C.A.P. and Australian transactions have been confined to sale of wool and purchase of raw silk, textiles and yarns.
7. Notwithstanding the Australian policy that the resumption of private trade with Japan is a matter for decision by the Peace Conference it seems that, particularly in view of the action already taken by other countries, Australia should make detailed preparations for the resumption of trade at the earliest possible moment so as to ensure that Australian businessmen will be placed on an equal footing with those of other nations at whatever date trade is actually resumed. It is suggested that preparations might be made in the following fields:
(a) General export and import trade;
(b) Finance (including banking and insurance);
(c) Shipping;
(d) Civil Aviation.
8. These preparations might include, inter alia:
(i) Compilation, by the Departments of Commerce and Agriculture and Trade and Customs, of lists of businessmen interested in trade with Japan.
(ii) Preparations by the Department of Trade and Customs for the rescinding of the relevant sections of the Trading with the Enemy Act and for the extension of import and export licensing to include Japan, at the appropriate time.
(iii) Increasing trade representation in Japan and permitting private trade representatives to proceed to Japan as soon as possible.
(If any private traders go to Japan under Government sponsorship, they will be required to defray their own expenses and their visit will not, therefore, involve any cost to the Australian Government.) (iv) Engaging in discussions with the United States Trade Mission which has recently gone to Japan.
9. It is also necessary to consider the desirability of Commonwealth Departments making contact with private Australian traders and trade associations regarding the general preparations for the opening of private trade.
10. A specific question which arises also is the rate of exchange to be fixed between the Australian 1 and the Japanese Yen. This question has already been taken up in a preliminary manner with the Department of Treasury and is receiving consideration.
11. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT-notwithstanding the Australian policy that the resumption of private trade with Japan is a matter for decision by the Peace Conference, Australia should:
(a) Make the most detailed preparations so that immediate advantage may be taken of any relaxation of the ban on private trade which may occur. These preparations should include those mentioned in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10, and particularly should include establishing contact with private Australian traders who may be interested in post-war trade with Japan.
(b) Take immediate advantage, with other nations, of any decision to resume private trade with Japan if, in spite of our opposition, trade is in fact resumed prior to the Peace Conference. [2]
H.V. EVATT Minister for External Affairs
D. COURTICE Minister for Trade and Customs
R. T. POLLARD Minister for Commerce and Agriculture

The number of angel investors in the economy is a well-known fact: 250,000 or so angel investors in the United States pump some $20 billion into the nation's businesses each year, yada, yada, yada. Where this number takes on real significance, however, is in comparison to the alternatives. For instance, Pratt's Guide to Venture Capital Sources, the bible of institutional venture capital, lists more than 1,300 venture capital firms. But of this august congress, only 14 percent or so indicate a willingness to invest in early-stage firms.
Among investment bankers who do initial public offerings (IPOs), the numbers are even more discouraging. For instance, the Securities Industry Association, the big trade group of investment banks and brokerage firms, boasts almost 800 members. In truth, however, only a small fraction of these firms will even consider an IPO. An even better indication of the state of investing is provided by the Regional Investment Bankers Association (RIBA), a trade group consisting of regional and boutique brokerage firms that typically underwrite offerings of $5 million to $20 million. Of RIBA's 150 members, perhaps half originate and underwrite IPOs, with the rest acting as brokers and market makers. So what's left? About 75 investment bankers that will consider IPOs for emerging-growth companies.
So where should Cornelius spend his precious time looking for capital? Among the handful of finicky investment bankers and venture capitalists who seem predisposed to saying no, or among the 250,000 angel investors who have a wide variety of interests and who are actively looking for deals?

"Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth" (Ps. 60:4).
On the Avoidance of Heart Errors
By Al Stoner
"They do always err in their heart; and they have not known My
ways, so I sware in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest" (Heb.
Always. This is not an exaggeration or an overstatement on the part of the Lord God here. This is a truthful assessment of the peoples' manner—always erring, always straying from Him in their heart. Inwardly, they were continually thinking the wrong thoughts, purposing with "the carnal mind" (Rom. 8:7), and seeking after the wrong things.
Erring in the Heart. Erring in the heart is rarely talked about today among "church" folk. Such erring may seem quite innocent at first consideration, because it is thought that none but that person can see. Who has access to the thoughts and intents of the heart, but the individual? But that is a woefully disastrous conclusion. The Lord looks not upon the outward appearance, but rather "on the heart" (I Sam. 16:7). Those who are reconciled to God, however, regard the thoughts of their own heart in the same way that God does. This is the sum of what Romans 7 is about.
After diligent searching, it will be found that there are not people on every corner who even think in these terms. Myriads would rabidly object to us making an application such as this to the contemporary church, charging that it does not pertain. But this is precisely the application that Paul is making, and we are content to side with the Holy Spirit in this matter, though a host should roar against us. Some in the church today might speak of making mistakes in judgment, others of errors in family living, financial blunders, etc. But God is here piercing into "the root of the matter" (Job 19:28). He speaks here of errors that are persistently made in, and by, the heart.
As the text above clearly indicates, men make mistakes in their hearts, simply because they have not known God's ways. And consequently, their ways are not His ways (cf. Isa. 55:8). Wherever men and women are not acquainted with God's ways and Person, they will, of a certainty, err in the sense spoken of here. And the persistence in this kind of error will eventually prove to be disastrous to men's souls. Thus, we can readily see the curse of religion, where the focus is only upon externals, or on appearance, and not upon the engrafting of God's Word into men's hearts (cf. Jas. 1:21).
Known. This is knowledge that properly affects the reins and the heart (Jer. 11:20; 17:10; 20:12). It is knowledge that produces thoughts and actions that are delightfully harmonious with God's ways and purpose.
Not Known My Ways. That is, these individuals did not have an intimate familiarity with the Lord God Himself. They did not feel comfortable in His Presence, they resisted His will, and His Word continually chafed against them. If any are tempted to think that this kind of error is not serious, let them think again. When persisted in, it is sufficient to exclude people, for whom Christ tasted death (Heb. 2:8-9), from God's rest.—Editor
"Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately" (Lk. 12:35-36).

I may have played the game for a bit now but i still feel new in terms of how many champs I've played compared to the total. I know that balancing and letting them use simpler champs is good for new players but i still wish there wouldn't be champs in the 450 IP tier in the free week. I'm very curious about the champs in the harder to unlock tier because if i can play 2 games and unlock a champ i can do that to quench my want to see what that champ does.
420 Blaze It
Can you make the rewards higher in every match ??????????????? PLZZZZZ
Thanks for explaining everything
I can't wait until Hecarim or Jarvan IV comes up in a free champion rotation, im eager to try those guys. They're almost never free..
Jarvan IV please! I'm looking forward to playing him and sadly cannot save up for him because I need to get the 3150 champions first.
Syndra please! Want to try her out before I buy her
I would like to try Zed,J4,Kennen,Yorick,Jayce,Elise,and/or Lee Sin. Gotta learn how to top lane one of these days
Do we not get a saying in this champion rotation. Forgive me for asking that, i am new so i want to know the system

Have a similar problem to the many othe Phillips TV problems (especially the magnavox range) in that I turn it on - the picture comes on, but the colour/brightness is "turned up" and within a few minutes the set turns itself off. I don't get any lines or grey areas on the screen - at least not yet, but the set is on for maybe 1 minute before switching off.
I have checked the resistor mentioned in other posts - R3340. I turned the TV off/unplugged it and measured R3340 in situ and it measuring 10ohms. Is there another cause of the dreaded phantom turn off syndrome? I'm quite competant at soldering etc. but not too wonderful at diagnosis. Can anyone assist please. |

Someone may have the same problem as I have, and may have already found a solution... When I plant under the redwood tree, within a year, the roots from the redwood have come in the root zone of the new plant and formed a tight network to suck up all the nutrients that I am feeding the new plant. I am thinking of creating a raised bed on top of the existing soil under the redwood, to plant my next batch of plants - will that help or not? Look forward to hearing about your experiences. Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Redwoods are not the only tree to do this, so the experience is not unique to people that garden with redwoods. The raised bed can help, but I'd also suggest putting some landscape fabric at the bottom of the raised area to help slow the growth of any tree roots up into the raised area. |
Thank you. I have followed both of your suggestions. Now I am looking forward to a success :-) |

An App to Help You Get the Best Price
What's more frustrating than seeing an item you just purchased go on sale (and finding out you're just past the window for a price adjustment)? Thankfully, there's an app that can help you snag all the price adjustments you're eligible for.
Eyeona is an app and website that allows you to upload your paper and digital receipts for more than 200 major retailers, and will notify you when the price drops on an item you've purchased. Plus, it lists the details of each retailers' price guarantee policy on their site so you don't have to dig online to find it.
If you'd prefer to wait until something goes on sale instead of gambling on a price drop, Eyeona also lets you add items to a watch list where they will notify you when your favorite pieces go on sale. And if you want to set a price you'd be willing to pay for an item on your watch list, you can do that too, and only get updates when the price falls below that threshold.
Will you be signing up for Eyeona or downloading the app on your smart phone?

Understanding and accepting control patterns before letting them go
The longer I've been experimenting with Aware Parenting, the more I am appreciating the intricacies of control patterns.At first I wanted to get rid of them all; not only my own and my children's, but everyone else's too. Now I see appreciation as a vital step in letting them go.
This all stems from seeing two basic fundamental drives in human beings, from conception onwards – the need to fit in, to understand, and to belong in the family and culture into which we are born; and the need to be authentically true to ourselves – to express our own preferences, our feelings, and our own uniqueness.
At some time early on in life, these two needs often come into conflict. A baby feels hunger, but his mother believes that he needs to wait a certain length of time to be fed. A baby feels upset, and his father believes that if he is being a good father, his baby will only feel happy feelings. A toddler wants to explore an object, and her mother wants to protect her mobile phone. A child wants to eat a certain food, and his father thinks he has to eat all his dinner before he can have pudding.
In order to belong, to be loved and accepted, babies learn to restrict their preferences and feelings and instead to do what brings a smile or a warm tone from their parents. When they refrain from expressing their true feelings, what develop instead are control patterns (see elsewhere on this site for more information about how control patterns develop).
A control pattern is not just a habitual way to prevent a feeling from being fully felt and expressed; contained within it are a set of beliefs, gained from the original experience of crying, and seeing the parents' responses.
These beliefs can be things such as, "If I cry, something terrible happens," (If the baby cried and saw the anxiety of his parents); "If I show my upset, I will be left forever," (If the baby cried and was left; remember that small babies don't have any concept of time, and being left alone whilst upset, for them, is forever), "If I express what's really going on for me, something will explode," (If a parent gets angry when a toddler won't stop crying).
As you can imagine, the beliefs that emerge are infinitely varied, whilst also all being on the same wavelength – if I express what is real for me, something very unenjoyable will happen. In that respect, a control pattern is a strategy to get very important needs met – for love, security, safety, belonging, acceptance, inclusion, appreciation, and so on.
These kind of beliefs lie behind the control patterns of babies – the baby who sucks on his hand with a numb look on his face, the baby who sucks a dummy, the baby who feeds every hour at night at a year old. The beliefs become more entrenched as we move into childhood and adulthood – the child who runs around manically whenever he is upset, the teenager who seems glued to his mobile phone, and the adult who goes to check his email every time a feeling starts to emerge.
As a parent aiming to practice Aware Parenting, most of us will come to the conclusion that to help our babies to stay present, and to live with few, or no, control patterns, requires us as parents to move beyond our control patterns and become more present.
Often it is not enough just to want to stop our control pattern – because it is there for a very particular reason; to get an important need met.
When we stop a control pattern, we may feel very uncomfortable indeed – and this is probably not just the feelings that the control pattern was protecting us from, it is also probably the feelings related to the acquired belief – eg. "If I show my feelings, something terrible happens." The feelings are also about the fear of the terrible thing happening.
In order to release a control pattern, we may need to find ways of moving into a new way of thinking about what happens when we cry; new, more wanted beliefs. Each parent will have his or her own way of doing this; for me, Field Center Certified Facilitating is my preference (see elsewhere on this site for more information about this).
As parents aiming to practice Aware Parenting, we may also want to take this into account when our babies our children develop control patterns (and if we have any control patterns, our children will inevitably develop some too). From my own experience with my children, I have felt very frustrated at times when they have developed control patterns; when my greatest wish is for them to grow up free to express their feelings, and free to be present and aware.
Now I aim to reframe that – and to see that their choice to use a control pattern is to communicate something to me, and to get a need met. So instead of just trying to get rid of the control pattern and to help them to cry with me, I aim to do some other things instead.
First is to see where they have learnt that from; to look to myself, and to make the changes required in myself. The next is to see that in order for them to let go of that control pattern, the underlying belief will need to shift – and that will also require change from me; both in my being, and my doing of parenting.
When we as parents live a life more in alignment with who we truly are, more aligned with our values, and on more friendly terms with our desires, we instinctively become more joyful and present.
Our babies and children cannot help but follow suit – because then there is less and less conflict between being whom they truly are, and belonging in their family.
Authenticity and integrity become the way of our family. Presence cannot help but be a part of the party!

I had my first ever experience with Glad's this season. I have some that have bloomed already and some still in bloom. Well, this weekend I saw some 50% off so I picked up a few packs of them but I'm curious what I should do with them. I'm sure it is too late to plant them and hope for blooms but would it be better to plant them now and hope for blooms next season or store them until next Spring and plant them then? I'm in the middle TN area so we don't get really cold till around November here and from the research I've done I'm far enough south to avoid having to dig the corms up every year for wintering.
Any and all advice wanted please :) |

It would be best to plant them now. I imagine they may even bloom for you this season. The site linked below has an article from North Dakota State University and it states they can be planted until mid June there in ND. Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Giddy over Gladiolus
Figure 90 days from planting till bloom. If you plant now they should have time to bloom, baring an early winter. Al |

I'm going to put my Blue Moon mix in, I planted half my bag back in June and just found the other half of the bag that I was supposed to put in two weeks later! I guess I'll be doing some planting this weekend!!! Hope it works, I'm in 8b/9 Houston area, and it's been a fairly mild summer, thankfully. We'll see how it works! |

My name is Lilly!
Facts about Lilly
- Breed: Miniature Pinscher
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Lilly's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilly, a Florissant Miniature Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Miniature Pinscher for sale in Florissant, or seeking a Miniature Pinscher dog from a breeder in Florissant.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Florissant already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Florissant breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Miniature Pinscher breeders who help with Miniature Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Florissant paves the way for another one to be saved.

ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Thursday, 1 December 2005
I am pleased to welcome you at this ceremony for the presentation of the Letters accrediting you as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of El Salvador to the Holy See. I am grateful for your kind words and for the cordial greeting of H.E. Mr Elías Antonio Saca, President of the Republic, which you have conveyed to me. Please express to him my best wishes for his peace and well-being, as well as my good wishes for the prosperity and development of your beloved Nation. Your Excellency, you mentioned the Peace Agreements signed in 1992 after a long fratricidal conflict. You also pointed out that in recent years progress has been made in the process of establishing peace and democracy. It is a comfort to see your Government's efforts to build a more just society that protects its weakest and most impoverished classes. In this regard, the Church in El Salvador is aware that building and improving their Homeland is every citizen's duty and she continues to collaborate so as to ensure that all can live in an atmosphere of hope and peace. The Church, with her experience of humanity and with no desire to interfere in the politics of States, "is interested in one thing only - to carry on the work of Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for he came into the world to bear witness to the truth, to save and not to judge, to serve and not to be served" (Gaudium et Spes, n. 3).
Likewise, she continues to cooperate in such important areas as teaching, assistance to the most deprived, health-care services, and the advancement of individuals as citizens and children of God.
On the other hand, and as you highlighted, Your Excellency, this dialogue must help build a more human future with the cooperation of all without impoverishing society. It is appropriate in this regard to recall that social improvements are not achieved merely by applying the necessary technical means, but also by promoting reforms with a human and moral basis and which have an ethical view of the person, the family and society. The constant proposal of fundamental moral values such as honesty, rectitude and responsibility for the common good, solidarity, a spirit of sacrifice and the culture of work, can facilitate greater development of the members of the national community, for violence and personal and collective selfishness have never been sources of progress or well-being. On these foundations and with the rich qualities that distinguish them, Salvadorans must play the lead role and be the principal architects of the Country's progress, encouraging political stability which paves the way to the participation of all in public life. Each one is therefore called to cooperate, in accordance with his particular qualities and possibilities, for the good of the Homeland. In this respect, I am pleased to know of the firm determination of the Authorities to work for a social order that is increasingly fairer and participatory. I express the hope that this proposal will be implemented and that they will surmount the serious problems that mainly affect the weakest sectors of society. On the other hand, the painful and widespread problem of poverty, which drives many Salvadorans to take the perilous path of emigration with all its consequences in the family and social contexts, has serious effects in the fields of education, health and housing and is a pressing challenge to government leaders and those in charge of public institutions to ensure that all have access to primary goods and the indispensable means that make their promotion and integral development possible. The Church, with her social doctrine, endeavours to encourage and foster appropriate initiatives geared to overcoming the situations of marginalization that affect so many needy brothers and sisters, seeking to eliminate the causes of poverty and thereby carrying out her mission, because concern for the social field is part of her evangelizing action (cf.
Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, n. 41).

I'm having the worst time deciding what to do with about the dishwasher in the house I just bought. The one that is there is on its last legs (actually probably just one leg, LOL). Here are my choices: (a) I could buy a new dishwasher. I definitely want a stainless steel interior and would very much like a true heated dry cycle. After looking in stores all week, the only ones that impressed me at all were an LG LDS5540 at $675 (but no heated dry) and the KitchenAid ProScrub KUDS301X (which does have a heated dry but also a lot of bad user reviews) at the same price point. EVERY other dishwasher I looked at either felt cheaply made (including all the other KitchenAids) and/or had an interior racks layout that I didn't like/wouldn't work with at all. Sometimes both, LOL or (b) I could relocate the dishwasher from my current house, which is an 8 year old Miele that I originally paid $900 for (stainless interior, black which is the color I need, and has the cutlery tray which is the true honest reason that I bought it in the first place, LOL) and put up with the ridiculously long wash times and the lack of a heated dry cycle. This would have the advantage of being a "free" dishwasher BUT... my current house is for sale and in a high end kitchen I can't suddenly have an empty space where the dishwasher used to be, LOL. So I'd have to buy a cheapie dishwasher for, say, $300 (if I can even find one at that price, and which would look very weird in the same kitchen as a Wolf cooktop) and then pay my plumber probably $200 (at least) to move the Miele to the other location (not nearby) and hook it up. So to keep my "free" Miele would end up costing me $500. Makes me wonder if for another $200 or so, I should go with Option A which at least would have the benefit of being under warranty for a while. It's not like I'm madly in love with the Miele, by any means. If it were you, which would you do? I'm just spinning my wheels at this point. |
