A friend gave me some really pretty teacups, and suggested I plant my mini AV's in them. Of course, they don't have holes, I have a Dremel, so I suppose I could drill holes, but these cups don't have saucers, so I'd be stuck putting trays under them, which I don't want to do.
Is there any other way to do this? I have heard about filling the bottom half of the cup with perlite? Has anyone done this, and can you tell me how it is done? Thanks! These are such cute little cups. I'd love to use them. |

You can put gravel (rince it first) or perlite in the bottom, about an inch or so. Then place the violet and spread the soil. Nancy |
Another thought is to plant your AVs into tiny cups/pots and use the teacup as a decorative cover. You can also buy some teacup inserts made for AVs. They are often available on eBay. The plant goes in the insert, which is put into a tea cup containing water/fertilizer. It acts like a self-watering pot. |

Thanks. I'll try the perlite while I'm looking for the inserts. |

Poetry Magazine Editor to Step Down
The editor of Poetry magazine plans to retire after 10 years on the job, according to a news release from the Poetry Foundation.
Christian Wiman became editor shortly after philanthropist Ruth Lilly gave the magazine $200-million in 2003. During his tenure, circulation tripled, and Poetry won two National Magazine Awards, among other accolades. In 2007, The New York Times described Mr. Wiman's editorship as "enthusiastic adventurousness, publishing a wide range of poetic styles, turbo-charging the back of the book with essays … and reviews engaged in debate both lively and dead serious."
Mr. Wiman will leave his post at the end of June to join the faculty of the Yale Institute of Sacred Music and Yale Divinity School.
His announced departure was celebrated in verse by The Chicago Reader.

Found an article in a Romanian newspaper (link at the end of the post for those that know Romanian) with a top 10 strangest hotels, and I thought of giving more details (and pics) about that.
10. Wild Canopy Reserve located in Masinagudi, Tamilnadu, India. Strange as it may seem but these are tree houses. "If you'd rather admire the fauna from afar, we can always see to it that your rooms are higher than an elephant's eye – forty-one feet high, to be exact. We offer tree house accommodation with well-appointed toilets- running hot and cold water, out of reach, but with a clear view of the animals that congregate around the watering hole below."
9. Benesse House in Kagawa, Japan. This is more a museum than a hotel, since you find well crafted art all over the place. "Benesse House is an art museum combined with lodging facilities designed by the renowned architect Tadao Ando, and features permanent exhibitions of site-specific artworks that can only be viewed in this unique setting".
8. Exploranter, Overland Hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil. As the name suggests, this hotel expores stuff. Mainly because it's on wheels. Kind of a modest one (with around 28 beds), is more suitable for people on the move (just like sleeping on a ride). "It is a mobile hotel, fully equipped with industrial kitchen, hot showers, 30 leather seats, 28 beds and lots of mobility."
7. Kasbah Du Toubkal in Marrakech, Marocco. "The Kasbah du Toubkal, just 60km from Marrakech, situated at the foot of Jbel Toubkal - the highest peak in N.Africa. A Berber hospitality centre (hotel/auberge) for groups and individuals. Stay for a few hours or a week!" Don't book this one if you're afraid of heights.
6. Woodpecker Hotel, in Sweden. Why woodpecker? Well because it's one of the smallest in the world, with lodging facilities for one person or a couple. Oh, and it's on a tree.
5. Whitepod in Switzerland. Well this is situated at 5577 feet in the Alpes. And it has 5 modern igloos. "Whitepod is not just another hotel. It's unique and ecological. Distinctive pods, pitched around a chalet, offer unprecedented accommodation. Far from crowds, yet with the highest standard of style, comfort and service, Whitepod offers an unforgettable mountain experience. Simply unique. Absolutely exclusive."
4. Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida. This one is underwater. "For the first time in history an authentic underwater research habitat is open to the average person--sport divers and even those who have never before dived. And although Jules' still functions as a research lab, you will be pleased to know that it has air-conditioning, hot showers, stereo music, VCR/DVD, a fully stocked galley, and unlimited diving for certified divers!"
3. Gamirasu Cave Hotel in Urgup, Turkey. A cave that was transformed in a hotel. "The hotel is located in a restored thousand-year-old Byzantine monastic retreat which offers modern conveniences without distracting from the spiritual feeling of the area which has been known to be inhabited for more than five thousand years. Gamirasu cave Hotel is featured in major international travel guides as one of the best cave hotels of Cappadocia. It is also mentioned as a romantic escape for honeymoons in wedding magazines. The hotel has a total of eighteen rooms: nine standard double, four deluxe rooms, two Cave Suites, two Family Suites and one Deluxe Suite."
2. Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin, Germany. Propeller Island is unique because in it each room is different: one might have a suspended bed, another room designed as a large tube and nevertheless the one where you sleep in coffins. "In both coffins you can even slumber beneath closed lids! Exclusively connoisseur room for all those "Nosferatus" who cannot wait for that which awaits us all. Whosoever has second thoughts can creep to the bedplace below, safe within the labyrinth. Not only a unique experience for Gothic die-hards...an exquisite location on top of that!"
1. And finally, the winner. Puerta America Hotel in Madrid, Spain. This hotel is famous because each of its floors was designed by a different famous artist. This is how Nouvel, for instance, had the idea to make a pool with black water, while Arad made one with tubular walls. "An idea of freedom come true, a gathering space merging different cultures and ways of interpreting architecture and design. A masterpiece that awakens guests' senses, that breaks the mould by using diff erent colours, materials and shapes. A building that ushers guests into innovative spaces, a bold departure from the usual. In short, a hotel that is unique."
Now don't ask me about prices. Like one, go see the price tag. And make sure you get an inssurance, you never know. And here's the Romanian article.

Free WinRAR license (v 3.51)
WinRAR is one of the best archiving utility out there (I use it exclusively, won the place on my computer from Winzip). Bad part is that's not free, the latest version (3.6) being provided as a 40 day trial.
However, because WinRAR 3.51 won the Best Overall Utility from the SIAF People's Choice Award (major award in the shareware business), they decided to have a one day free-for-all promotion. Thing was you had to register your email address for their newsletter, receive a key in your mail and register it.
Now that Sunday passed, and the promotion expired. However this doesn't mean that you cannot still register it legally. Thing is that they sent the same key to all 40,000 users that benefited from the promotion, and now that key is available for download from Simtel (one of WinRAR's partners in this).
Leaving the blurb aside, this is what you have to do to register it:
That's it, enjoy you free WinRAR license.

Coming Home is an epic-length John/Rodney BDSM romance by Xanthe.
It is set entirely in an alternate universe where bisexuality is the norm and sexuality is classified according to BDSM power dynamics rather than gender preference. The story is a prequel to her earlier novel, General and Doctor Sheppard.[1] Unlike the earlier story, which contrasts a comparatively canonical universe with the one Xanthe created, Coming Home stands on its own.
Author's summary: "Colonel John Sheppard knew, from the moment he first met Dr. Rodney McKay, that the man would be trouble. This novel-length story is a prequel to General & Dr Sheppard telling the story of how the AU John and Rodney first got together. This novel contains loving, consensual BDSM sex and spanking scenes."
The Story
Going against a trend sometimes described as ironic distance in fanfiction, Coming Home consciously and deliberately steers right into the id vortex by spinning a tale of true love, lifebonds, kinky sex, first times, and epic emotions.
In her author notes, Xanthe states the following:
First and foremost this is a story about two people finding each other and learning how to be together. The BDSM is just a backdrop to that story. [...] Please don't post to tell me how and why this society won't work – I'm pretty sure I already know! If you like this kind of thing then it's an enjoyable fantasy. It's not intended to be a 'how to' guide to the functioning of a BDSM society or as to how BDSM should be practised.[2]
Coming Home was posted in nineteen parts over the course of ten days, resembling the old-fashioned mailing list restrictions on post length. The daily postings built up a level of expectation and excitement among readers and inspired discussion between postings.
Coming Home was well received by the fans of the original General & Doctor Sheppard novel and also drew in a new audience, some of whom found the compare and contrast of the original difficult to find a connection with but could lose themselves in the straightforward love story of the prequel.[3]
In 2006, Coming Home was nominated for the 2006 McShep Awards, where it received second place in the AU category.[4]
In 2007, Coming Home won the Stargate Fan Award for Best Romance in the Sheppard/McKay category[5] as well as the multifandom Titanium Whip BDSM Award 2006/7 for Best First Time Slash and Best Spanking Scene.[6]
BDSM Universe
In November 2006, Helen posted Take Clothes Off As Directed, a responsefic to Xanthe's story premise from Coming Home, that took the original novel's universe and restructured it into a way to explore gender roles and sexism in modern society. The story achieved popularity with some readers for its metaphorical approach to gender roles. However, the story generated a lot of controversy. See Take Clothes Off As Directed for more information.
The unique universe and strong emphasis on romantic relationships in Coming Home inspired two stories that retold the origins of the main characters and their developing connection. Both stories adhered closely to the romantic tone set forth in the original story, and the authors sought and received permission from Xanthe before posting their works.
SGA writer Lavvyan's earthside AU The Spaces Inside[7] draws from the prostitution trope and the hurt/comfort trope.
Prolific SGA writer Eleyna released High School Confidential: John[8] which re-imagines the story set in a high school.
Xanthe herself has expanded her Coming Home universe in 2008 with a sequel to General & Doctor Sheppard that features a crossover between Stargate: Atlantis and NCIS with a focus on Gibbs/DiNozzo. The title is Hiding In Plain Sight.
hab318princess wrote Bound Together, a 170,000 word Torchwood story set in Xanthe's BDSM universe.
More broadly, the current popularity of BDSM AUs as a panfandom trope can be traced to Coming Home.
Further Reading
In the writing community Shared Wisdom, Xanthe was invited as guest speaker and posted an essay on writing BDSM, Coming Home, and some of the problems she had in fandom after its release.[9]
Seperis posted an essay on fanfiction as romance, where she listed Coming Home as one of her top two choices for escapist romance reading, along with thoughts on why fandom sometimes seems to dismiss or mock the romance genre in fanfiction.[10] Comments in the entry also explore the underrated genre and various opinions of the stories Seperis cited to illustrate a fanfiction romance.
The story was discussed alongside Take Clothes Off As Directed on The Cuttingboard.[11]

Behavioral Health Services are available to all employees and their dependents who are enrolled in any of the state-sponsored health care plans. There is no need to enroll separately for these benefits. Employees who are not enrolled in a health care plan are not eligible. Health plan providers will not provide mental health and substance abuse services. Coverage is effective on the same date that your health care plan becomes effective, which is the first day of the month following the month in which you enroll in a health care plan, or the first day of the new benefit period. Child Care Voucher Program To be considered for the Child Care Voucher Program, you must have worked for the state in the current year and in the previous year and you must have met all of the following eligibility requirements for the previous year:
COBRA For Spouse If you are the spouse of an employee covered by a state of Ohio group health plan, you have the right to choose continuation coverage for yourself for up to 18 months* if you lose group health coverage for any of the following reasons: Death of employee, or Divorce or legal separation from employee. For Dependents If you are a dependent child of an employee covered by a state of Ohio group health plan, you have the right to choose continuation coverage for yourself for up to 18 months* if you lose group health coverage for any of the following reasons: Death of employee, Parents' divorce or legal separation, or Dependent child losing eligibility (such as reaching a limiting age, getting married, dropping out of college, etc.). *COBRA also provides for further extensions of coverage, up to 36 months, under certain circumstances. For example, an individual who is determined by the Social Security Administration to be disabled while on COBRA may be eligible for an additional 11 months of coverage (for a total of 29 months). When a "secondary event," such as the death of an employee, occurs while the individual is on COBRA, the 18-month original coverage period may be extended to 36 months for survivors who are on the plan. All COBRA extension requests and questions should be directed to Benefits Administration Services through HCM Customer Service at 614.466.8857, or toll-free at 1.800.409.1205. Important Employee, Spouse and Dependent Notifications Required Under the federal law, the employee, spouse or other family member has the responsibility to notify the state of Ohio of a divorce, a legal separation or a child losing dependent status under the group health plan.

Rosemary Watson's Gumpaste
- 1 pound box powdered sugar 1 Tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon Gum Tragacanth 1/3 cup cold water (less 1 or 2 Tablespoons for a firmer gumpaste) 1 1/2 teaspoons Knox unflavored gelatin 1 Tablespoon Shortening (Cisco/Palmin) 3 Tablespoons Clear corn syrup or Glucose
- Combine powdered sugar and Gum Tragacanth in KitchenAid mixer bowl. Place bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Stir occasionally to heat the entire contents evenly. When ready it should feel warm to the touch.
- Meanwhile, soften the gelatin in the cold water in a heatproof glass container (Pyrex measuring cup works well) Allow this to sit 5 to 15 minutes. Melt Shortening and cool a bit. Place glass container of gelatin in a small pan of water, heat till the gelatin is melted and clear. Remove container from hot water and add the glucose or corn syrup and the melted shortening, stir to combine.
- I melt the Crisco in a plastic measuring cup in the microwave and I also heat the corn syrup the same way. It just makes it easier to scrape out of the container when adding it to the melted gelatin.
- Pour this liquid mixture into the warm powdered sugar/Gum Tragacanth. Mix on low speed till combined, raise speed to high and beat for 5 minutes. The mixture will stiffen up and feel marshmallowy. Scrape out of bowl onto a piece of plastic wrap that has been coated lightly with Crisco. Wrap well and put in sealed ziplock bag which is also coated inside with a film of Crisco. Let sit at room temperature for 12 hours, knead slightly before using.

- Kiran Bedi win: RSS says it's kabaddi, hold breath

- Dense and dingy, yet women feel 'safer' in colony than outside
- 'Always a third front man, so I joined Congress'

- Senior BJP leader trying to put AAP in negative light: Arvind Kejriwal
In UP, Congress takes 59% cut in vote share
Its vote share down by almost 59 per cent since 2009, its candidates mostly at fourth position, the Congress has been the party worst hit by the BJP surge in Uttar Pradesh. Party leaders have admitted they "could not even get a decent number of Muslim votes", and some top candidates could not manage even 1 lakh votes.
The Congress's 67 candidates managed only about 60.61 lakh of 8.10 crore votes polled statewide, or 7.50 per cent, down 58.90 per cent from the 18.25 per cent (1.01 crore of 5.54 crore) of 2009. It was the party's lowest vote share in the state, barring 1998.
Those who finished fourth include union ministers Salman Khurshid, Beni Prasad Verma, Jitin Prasada, Pradeep Jain Aditya; other sitting MPs such as Annu Tandon, Rajaram Pal and Harshavardhan; Ameeta Singh; and even state president Nirmal Kharti. The most shocking loss for Congress workers has been that of Beni, who was regarded as a "grassroots Kurmi leader" and spent a large share of his ministry's "corporate social responsibility fund" in Gonda. Jitin had been regarded as "future leader in Uttar Pradesh". And Annu Tandon, who had won by over 3 lakh votes last time, too came fourth.
Some of those who had worked on the ground feel that nothing from their end could have changed the result. There is in fact a feeling within the party that party workers had given up before the election.
"Whether one accepts it or not, a fake Hindutva wave created by the RSS at the last moment in a planned manner in every constituency brought about such results. There was nothing wrong with our campaign. People will repent this mandate, which is dangerous for the country," said P L Punia, who got over 2.4 lakh votes in Barabanki but lost by margin of over 2 lakh votes to little-known BJP candidate Priyanka Singh Rawat. Punia was among only six candidates who came second.
"Despite some of our MPs having worked hard, most of them failed to compete even with the BSP and SP candidates, let alone the BJP that was riding a wave. Neither Muslims nor our own cadre believed in our victory and that is ominous for the party in the next assembly election." said a Congress district president.
Beni said a comparison should be made only with the last assembly election, not the 2009 Lok Sabha election.
First-timers all, the four who defeated Ajit Singh, Jitin Prasda, P L Punia and Salman Khurshid in Uttar Pradesh:
Satyapal Singh defeated Ajit Singh of RLD in Baghpat. Born and brought up at Baraut in Baghpat, Satyapal went on to become Mumbai police chief but never counted himself an outsider, having stayed in touch with Baghpat throughout his career. continued…

we had a gift cert. for our 50th anniversary and we finally got up there and it was awesome next time we take a mini vacation we will be back GO ROBIN GO
3,8 su luglio 19, 2014
Overall, we enjoyed our stay...breakfast was excellent and very filling way to start our day! Robin was very personable and provided us with lots of options up front for different sites to see and things to do around the area when we first arrived. Very friendly and had good intentions, but at times was extra chatty with us when we were trying to head out the door to enjoy time together as a couple.Something to keep in mind is that with breakfast not to be missed at 9am everyday we couldn't get going as early as we'd like, but may not be a big deal depending on your travel plans. Rooms were clean and cozy and we had fun meeting some other couples over breakfast. Would recommend checking into for your stay in Door County.

Enjoyed our stay at Garden Gate B&B. Breakfast was terrific and the treats at night were great. Robin was very helpful. Hope to get back soon. Carole
5 su maggio 13, 2014
We had a wonderful stay at the Garden Gate. Robin, the hostess, is so charming. She is also a wealth of information about things going on in Sturgeon Bay. She makes great suggestions on places to visit and what to do after she speaks with you and finds those things that interest you. Breakfast is a treat. The ambiance is great. The food is fantastic. And the muffins, you must try.. Great location for the Garden Gate. It is close to town, so you can make a walking trip in and spend time looking around and buying things to take take home. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Door County.
5 su settembre 22, 2013
This was the 3rd B&B we've stayed in and it raised the bar considerably for the next one! Robin (the hostess) is there to greet you and make you feel comfortable in her beautiful Victorian home. Her breakfasts are amazing, and there's always a hot cup of coffee waiting for you. She also bakes cookies, cakes and other desserts for your evening sweet tooth! I would definitely recommend this place to stay in!
5 su agosto 16, 2013
Our hostess Robin is second to none. She greeted at the door and we immediately felt welcome and at home. The rooms well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and filling. My wife is still raving about the cherry french casserole. It is a great place for a romantic getaway.
5 su luglio 29, 2013
We stayed at the Garden Gate in July 2013. The rooms were very clean and well decorated. The breakfasts were scrumptious! The innkeeper gave us good advice about what to do and where to eat. She made us feel right at home. The location was very convenient and close to the river where we could enjoy a nice walk. We would stay there again.

Girls Basketball: Mother McAuley turns back Hillcrest
By Tony Baranek firstname.lastname@example.com January 29, 2014 9:32PM
Updated: March 3, 2014 4:22PM
Elizabeth Nye said it wasn't really anything special that Hillcrest did to hold her to five points in the first half of Wednesday night's encounter in Mount Greenwood.
"They're just really good defenders," she said after the Mighty Macs prevailed 61-54. "They were pressing on my teammates just as hard. They get up and they get after people."
The Hawks appeared to have McAuley staggered early in the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run that whittled a nine-point deficit to one. But the Macs responded with a 12-0 run and maintained from there.
Nye finished with 22 points and seven rebounds, Molly O'Malley had 15 points, Raven Willis had 14 points and eight rebounds and Erin Drynan 10 rebounds as McAuley improved to 15-8.
Hillcrest (15-5) was led by Tierra Sanders (13 points, 10 rebounds), Aliah Acker (12 points), Tanzania Sherrill (12 points) and Joshulyn Shepherd (11 rebounds).
The win was a definite spirit-lifter for McAuley, which had lost four of its previous five games.
"We needed a win so bad," Nye said, smiling. "Basketball is a long season. It always has its ups and downs. But we definitely have been practicing a lot harder with a new mentality.
"The last couple of games we've been getting after it. We came out like a different team against Trinity and played them to a really close game (a 50-39 loss). They're a great team. Now we came out and beat Hillcrest, another great team."
Hillcrest was on a six-game winning streak, but spent most of the night chasing McAuley.
Down 16-9 early, the Hawks rallied to go in front 17-16 as Joyner and Shepherd dominated on the boards. They were leading 25-22 with seconds left in the half when O'Malley hit her fourth three-pointer as the buzzer sounded to tie it up.
Nye opened the second half for the Macs with another three and went 4-of-6 from the floor while Willis also nailed a three as the hosts built a 41-32 lead.
A furious first two minutes of the fourth quarter saw the Hawks score consecutively on three layups by Sanders and another by Sherrill. Three of the baskets were on putbacks.
After three turnovers and a timeout, the Macs finally were able to break a backcourt press as O'Malley swished her fifth three of the night.
"We've been practicing a lot, and Nye knows when I'm open to get me the ball," O'Malley said. "(Hillcrest) is very fast team. They're a great team. They played well."
Nye hit two more threes, giving McAuley 10 on a night when Hillcrest seemingly did a good job defending the perimeter.
"Nye did a great job being their floor general," Hillcrest coach John Maniatis said. "She found some seams in the defense and got their shooters some looks. Willis hit us with a couple of sledgehammers there, and O'Malley did a nice job at the perimeter as well."

How do you introduce yourself in regards to your stepchildren?
I'm about to go to an event (BM sponsored) where no one will know me and I'll have to introduce myself. Options include: Hi, I'm Silver.
Or I could go the comic route and say: Hi, I'm Silver, BM's Ex-husband's wife. I don't want to go. I don't want to glad-hand a bunch of BM's friends who I know will be side-glancing, under hand whispering about me. But DH isn't extremely social either, so I know I'll end up being the one to say hello and make introductions first. How do you all handle this sort of situation? |

I've been in some very uncomfortable situations. No matter how I introduce myself or am introduced by someone, something always goes wrong. In most cases it ends up with people assuming that I am SDs' mother, then they comment how young I am to be their mother (well duh, 45 and SD is 29? and I look like late 30s hmmm). And BM might be right there listening. "oh, no, she is the mother" Awful. We are not married so I don't introduce msyelf as SM. I say "Hi, I am PO1, SO's (insert name) GF". But like i said people don't listen anyways and assume their own things. So I just say 'Hi, i am PO1". Let them figure it out. ha Once in a awhile I had to be introduced by my ex and he always said "this is PO1, DD's mom". I liked it much better than "exwife". I hate going to events with BM and we probably will never go anymore, the last couple of them were disasturous. |

I introduce or talk about my ex husband as DD's dad too. Much nicer. I don't want to go... |

I found this little guy at the grocery store, I thought maybe the Silver Queen cultivar. I know that there are plenty of other pale varieties of sans, though... Would I be correct in thinking that it needs to put on some growth before it can be better identified? On a side note, I found ONE Bantel's Sensation at pikes. One gallon pot... $35.00! It's been there three months... Hasn't moved an inch. I'm circling it like a vulture hoping it goes down. lol |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Katheryn, Looks like Moonshine to me. I bought a large Bantels at Pike Nursery earlier in the spring. I can see why you are tempted. I was in Pikes yesterday and I did see another one. The store is in Cumming, Ga. |
KatherynIridaceae, Agree with Barb on 'MoonShine'. It is in the Futura class and should not get much bigger than what you got. Notice the dark green edges and wide leaves. Also don't buy that Bantel'sk Sensation. I still have lots to give out on the deal I got last month. Check post below. Just pay postage when package arives. Too bad I didn't have them for Barb when she wanted some. But a large fully grown and nicly grown at that is hard to resist. I might have done the same. Stush |
- Posted by KatherynIridaceae 7b (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 11:24
Moonishine huh? Well it's on my wishlist! I just thought that moonshine didn't really have the darker bands of variegation toward the center of the leaf, just those dark edges. I'm happy with it either way! Can't believe I found it at Publix of all places! And I really appreciate that offer stush! When you say "just pay postage" Do you mean at the post office or directly to you? I'm not moving so quickly this morning I may need coffee before I process this lol |
Postage will be marked on the box when it arives. Then you can mail it to me. Email me with your info. I still have trifasciata 'Silver Laurentii' left over from repoting and trying to find a home for. Stush |
- Posted by norma_2006 10 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 22:38
The leaves seem in the picture to be very wide, so it leads me to believe it's not Bantels's Sensation. Perhaps 'Moon Shine' the come up silver then tun light green at about a year old. If it seems blue to you then I have another name to offer. Norma |
Hello Noma, We are talking about two different sans. The one in the picture we all agreed that it must be 'Moonshine'. And I offered her Bantel's Sensation. A picture of some is in my picture I posted (in center), and last picture is 'Silver Laurentii'. The Silver Laurentii will be left out for winter if I can not find homes for. I just don't have all that much room in my house for it. Stush |
- Posted by solar_storm 24 CA (My Page) on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 14:45
Since we're all guessing. I suggest it might be S. t. 'Moonshine Reversion' or S.t. 'Robusta' (an illegitimate name, but apparently still in use). Although this one doesn't have the strong markings of those I mentioned. |
- Posted by KatherynIridaceae none (My Page) on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 20:54
Well I got home from yesterday evening and guess what? My wonderful spouse had purchased for our anniversary that one gallon Bantel's Sensation I had mentioned! So Stush I now have way, way more than I know what to do with , I grateful for you offer but I think someone Bantel-less would benefit from your gift more, and I actually have some silver laruentii! Well... Actually I don't know if it's a small/baby Silver laurentii or a small/baby S.T Futura or even Black Gold. No one seems to be able to tell me so I;ve resigned myself to wait and see what it grows up to be. Solar, I wasn't aware that there was more than one cultivar of "Moonshine", which would explain the confusion here certainly. I had THOUGHT that it was a youngish "Silver Queen" because of the heavy variegation near the tips of the leaves like in this picture > http://realpalmtrees.com/palm-tree-store/small-silver-queen-snake-ornamental-plant.html I thought that as plant aged and it put out taller and taller leaves I'd see that variegation farther down the leaf, ruling out it being Moonshine. Now I'm not so sure. But that's all part of the fun. Both plants are on my wishlist anyway, SO I'm happy anyway. |

Life Science Quality Teams Gain Control, Improve Monitoring and Measurement of Outsourced Production with TraceLink Quality Review
WOBURN, MA, July 21, 2011 — TraceLink, Inc., developer of the TraceLink Network, the world's first industry-wide supply collaboration network, today announced the release of TraceLink Quality Review, the first service designed to help virtual quality teams from pharmaceutical / biopharmaceutical companies and their CMO / CPO partners exchange, analyze and track quality reviews across all outsourced production relationships. By using Quality Review's collaboration, information management and performance monitoring capabilities, QA/QC teams can create a transparent, predictable and repeatable quality review process while gaining real-time visibility into current review status and performance for every project and every production relationship.
"As outsourced production of pharmaceuticals increases, virtual quality teams struggle to efficiently monitor, measure and control quality review processes typically based on phone, FAX and email communications," said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO at TraceLink, "Quality Review is a quality information management service that connects quality teams across external supply relationships and ensures that all team members have access to the precise and timely information they need to reduce risk, ensure quality and meet production schedules."
TraceLink Quality Review directly addresses the root causes of poor visibility, coordination and performance throughout the outsourced production quality review process. Selected capabilities include:
- Exchange, analysis and tracking of batch record, change control, event / incident and general quality reviews in a collaborative team workspace
- Integrated KPI dashboard providing real-time information on current and historical quality review performance across all supply relationships
- Integrated communication and feedback trail, including comments and documents, for each iteration of the review cycle
- Alerts and status indicators that highlight when information has been submitted, viewed, modified or needs attention
- Quality review and production order linkage to increase insight into potential impacts of schedule or project changes and speed research into identified issues
"Whether mandated by customers or regulatory authorities, visibility is essential. Business leaders want to see quality issues and manage these risk before they become problems," said Simon F. Jacobson, Research Director, Gartner Inc. (*), "Data is everywhere, resulting in information latency and quality issues, prolonged cycle times and increased costs."
"The addition of Quality Review to the TraceLink Network's supply network collaboration platform expands our ability to provide manufacturing, supply chain and quality leaders with an integrated solution for managing outsourced production from purchase order initiation through to final product delivery," added Dahod, "Using TraceLink's integrated business process modules for production tracking, material tracking, inventory monitoring and quality review combined with ProcessLink collaborative team workspaces, virtual supply teams gain shared visibility and real-time data to improve right-first-time order fulfillment, shrink production cycle times, decrease inventory levels and eliminate manual data entry across all manufacturing and packaging operations."

I've been cross stitching on and off for 20 years. I've recently picked up the hobby again, to include buying from ebay some pieces already stitched. I was shocked to see how neat the reverse side was -- almost as perfect as the front. I've tried to be careful and as neat as possible but somehow the back aways looks a mess? Does the reverse side of your projects look good and, if so, how do you do it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do all your stitches go in the same direction? That usually helps to keep it looking nice on the reverse side. |

My stuff was always a mess until I saw Shay Pendrays program. She starts with a waste knot (want knot, waste knot) a distance away and secures the stitches by running the thread through the back of a few completed stitches. I do a lot of Hummel pictures and found this eliminated a lot of bulk and the back is very neat and secure. I sometimes do one further and end with a humungous french knot on the top with a short tail to grab a short distance away so when I'm about to stitch over those threads, all I have to do is snip the french knot on the top and keep on stitching--it is faster than flip and whip through the back of a few stitches. |

This is my first time to visit this forum and don't do much stitching anymore due to rheumatoid arthritis but I still love the craft. If you cut and restart your stitching if you have to go over more than 3 stitches it makes it much neater also. I used to go way across the back to the same color section until I saw how neat my friend's was and asked her how she did it. |
I don't have any knots because when I start a thread I fold it in half and put the needle through the thread hoop, and when I finish a thread, I slide the needle through about 4 or 5 threads. It just doesn't look neat. The couple of completed projects I bought off e-bay were s00000 neat on the pack, it looked almost like the front. I can't imagine how they did it. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Thanks all |
- Posted by stitchntime9 (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 04 at 6:49
Try a waste knot at the front of your work and stitch back towards where the waste knot is for a few stitches to tack the thread down, clip the waste knot and keep on stitching or wait until another thread intersects and then clip the waste knot. Depending upon the project, I sometimes have to use 3 threads so a thread fold over will not cut it. Even if using two threads or blending threads, I tie a knot at the end of the thread for a waste knot to start the work. I would also check an embroidery text to make sure you are doing your stitches correctly. |
There is a technique for making the majority of the back look similar to the front, but it is not exactly like the front. I will try to explain it, but it is better to see it demonstrated in person. There are some cross stitch pieces in museums where the design is intentionally made to take advantage of this technique so that the back very nearly looks like the front. If the design does not take this technique into acount, then the back is much neater but not a mirror image of the front. Basically, let's take an example of 4 cross stitches in a row: XXXX Normally, you would stitch so as to either complete each X as you work across the row (as when working with varigated thread for instance) or you would work //// and then go back and make the other side of the stitch to give XXXX. In this technique what you do is: 2.) Going back across the row, stitch the second half of the fourth and second X's, in that order so that on the front you have /\/\. Bring the thread to the front of the fabric, coming through the top left corner of the first stitch. At this point the back will deviate slightly from the front and the last X on the back will have a stitch across the top. 4.) Complete the fourth and second X's, in that order, threading the needle UNDER the existing half of the X so the the stitches all run the same direction. At this point the front and the back should like very nearly the same. I know this sounds confusing, but it is really pretty simple and when stitching, you get in the habit of looking for where the design will allow you to use this technique. If you have a needlework shop, they should be able to demonstrate it for you. Good luck! |
Thanks Kimmer! I'm going to print this out and practice at home tonight. Thanks much! |

My daughter & I are new to X-stitching. When starting, we both start with the loop method, and finish by threading through a few stitches. This works fine. What I have a problem with, is, when working upwards, ie. counting from the middle point, this makes it look messy on the back. You always seem to want to go in on the next row up, where you came out on the row below. We do seem to prefer working full stitches as we go, rather than a row of //// then back again \\\\. Any tips would be much appreciated |
- Posted by stitchntime9 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 8, 04 at 3:03
That method works fine if you have a few stitches within an area. I do whole pictures with large areas of one color where the /// and \\\ work much better, start with a waste knot per strand and color on top of the work like you do in needlepoint and either run the floss through the back of the last few stitches, or as I discovered works very well to end a strand, make another waste knot a few rows below or above on top using a large french knot when I know future rows will secure that thread and clip the waste knots as I go along. This helps not flipping your work and hoop back and forth to end threads and seems to make the work go faster with less bulk in the back from running stitches under stitches. |
You betcha! But who is going to see it? |
Same comment, who is going to see it and who has time to spend, I'm lucky to get the top looking good and the project finished. Junie 2 |

Dear Rosie, We stitchers can sometimes be snobs. We look at a project and think, "Well, the front looks good...", then we instinctively turn the project over to examine the back side. The backside should be as neat as the front and don't we scorn the stitcher whose back doesn't measure up?:) |

I discovered why the cross stitch projects I bought on ebay looked so neat on the back....they were done with a machine.... |
Don't leave us hanging Rosie. Tell us more. Is this cross stitch on evenweave fabric? How is this possible? |
Mine usually looks very nice. Not perfect. But I have gotten compliments from my sisters and Mother. I am very careful not to carry threads over too many blocks and I run my starting thread under a couple of blocks and when I am finished I do the same. |

What places do you folks deal with when yuou need fresh mulch. I've been buying cedar mulch from HD, but that place is too high. I talked to Ogburn's and Stephenson's and they're about the same price. Got to have it delivered too. Any ideas, folks? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try Mulch Masters ...... www.themulchmasters.com ... or just google mulch masters raleigh. They're on Durant and deal in lots of differing mulch types and more, pick up and delivery. I live nearby and find myself constantly in line at a light behind a MM truck, so they're definitely on the road in force! Their rotted leaf stuff is tops. My yard was initially done professionally and mountains of the rlm was tilled in to amend the soil. Every spring my 'garden elves' re-mulch with the same and my yards have thrived (I prefer to let them do the heavy lifting!). Compared to the bagged stuff some of my neighbors use, the rlm has staying power thru the seasons and makes for super rich soil as it breaks down. Ok, commercial over :o) ...... no, I don't work for them! Just the humble opinion of a satisfied customer/user! |
This doesn't answer your question because it has to be picked up, but does anyone know whether Durham is doing their usual Mulch Madness free compost giveaway this spring? Did I miss it? I just found out that I missed the Duke Forestry pick up days and would hate to lose out on them both. |
Funny thing. I called around to several mulch suppliers and got prices, etc. Well, I got to doing some figuring, and the mulch I want (I use cedar for several reasons) cost just a little more if I buy it bulk from one of these guys than if I buy the bags from HD/Lowes. Of course, the overall bulk charge includes $30 delivery which I don't incur when I pick it up at HD. So, really not much in the way of savings at all by buying bulk. Additionally, I don't have to find anywhere to store the bulk 2-3 yards if I buy bags, but I have to distribute and mess with the bags...which isn't THAT big a deal. And, I don't have to buy it all at one time (can't haul that much anyway). So, unless someone can come up with with something I've missed, I think I'll but 2cuft bags. |
I've found the same...it's a wash economically between the bags at the big box stores and buying in bulk. Personally, I think the bags are easier to manuever/get-around and you can easily save any leftover bags you have and use it later as good as new. The only downside is the waste of all the plastic. |
I've had the same experience with compost. Had a truckload of compost delivered last year and figured out that with the delivery charge, the bulk cost was actually a bit more than buying bags. It's a matter of cost versus convenience in this case, where the convenience of bulk and delivery costs more. In my case, there's no way I could've fit 8 cubic yards of compost in the Kia! Probably won't be needing such large quantities again, so from now on I'm just buying bags. |
Bradsher's off Gresham's Lake Road in N. Raleigh has various mulches, rock and soil comparable to Mulch Masters and their prices are less. I don't know what they charge for deliver, however, since I've got a pickup truck. Also, the City of Raleigh yardwaste landfill has leaf mulch, compost and bark mulch for very good prices but they don't deliver. They are having a 2-for-1 sale on mulch during the month of April. |
- Posted by bluesgarden 7/8 (email@example.com) on Sun, Apr 20, 08 at 10:08
Be careful buying mulch at from landfills. They are mixed with all sorts of things you may not want in your yard. I once got mulch from the local landfill.It was suppose to be pine bark mulch, I had to remove all sorts of debris as i spread it. That fall I was growing large and stinky fungus. I say get the bags of mulch and know what you are getting. Happy spring |
I agree with bluesgarden. One time, We tried the mulch from our landfill. It was full of trash such as cigarette wrappers as well as weed seeds. Ours also grew a weird fungus. |

Mobile phone insurance covers – Is it a good investment?
Did you know the benefits of mobile phone insurance covers and how you can achieve the best mobile phone insurance covers for your smartphones and mobile devices? If not, then this is the guide for you.
It is estimated that less than half of those people who own a smartphone actually have them insured. Is this smart reasoning on the part of the phone user just a case of universal passivity? After some investigation it was discovered that the main reason people did not take a mobile phone insurance was because of the price.
Of course, there will always be those instances where a phone doesn't get damaged and the insurance is rendered somewhat unnecessary. For most of us though mobile phone insurance is thoroughly worthwhile and definitely makes for a good investment as hundreds of thousands of claims are made every day across the globe.
Here are some of the ways that you can achieve the best price on mobile phone insurance covers.
Choose to buy online
As when making any purchase, you will always find the best deal on the internet. Whenever you buy a new phone the manufacturer and network provider will try to sell you insurance as an add on but you almost certainly will be able to find it cheaper if you look online.
Ask your employer about mobile phone insurance covers
A lot of larger employers will provide basic cover as part of their employee benefits package. If you remember reading about your employee benefits when you initially started your job it may be worth digging out your handbook and seeing exactly what it includes.
Choose the right type of insurance cover
A lot of insurance plans are pre-set and applied to all people irrespective of their individual circumstances. Make sure that you are covered for only those things that pose a specific threat to you. Do ask for those things that don't apply, to be removed. These may be things like international cover which will ne unnecessary if you don't travel and so on.
If you follow my three tips above then mobile phone insurance will definitely make for a good investment!

I have never thought of getting an insurance for my mobile actually. Each time I purchase an electrical equipment for my home, an insurance is offered by the salesman, and I always say no to it. I can't help, but the only thought I have is: "They want to rip me off!"
- Shiva @ Blogging Tips
I think it is a good idea to insure a mobile if it is in the high price range, maybe like the iPhone or Galaxy/Nexus range stuff but for medium or lower range mobiles I do not find any use of insuring them.

Each time I purchase an electrical equipment for my home, an insurance is offered by the salesman, and I always say no to it.
- Cheap phone insurance
The incidents of mobile thefts and losses are increasing day by day. It is very difficult to any individual to cope with such situation. This may be due to the cost of purchasing a new one and it may be if the stolen gadget carried some free deals then the gadget owner loose that deal too.
Some companies provide a warranty period that includes free replacement or servicing of the gadgets during the warranty period only. But it does not include the loss and accidental damage of your phone, so to minimize the financial burden due to such incidents; the handset owners should insure their phone. The phone insurance means insuring the handset with a specified insurance plan for a specific period. There are so many insurance plans in the market. - Melodie
This is really great.. Mobile Phone insurance really is a great idea.. There are so many benefits from it.. Thanks for this info!

KANPUR: Continuing with raids against chrome-based tanning units, a team of Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) conducted raids at 21 more tanneries in Jajmau on Wednesday.
Following Allahabad high court order to UPPCB for carrying out inspections particularly at chrome-based tanning units, the teams constituted by the Pollution Board have been continuously raiding tanneries and collecting samples of the treated effluents.
According to UPPCB's assistant scientific officer Yogendra Kumar: "Inspection of the 21 more chrome-based tanning units which are equipped with their individual Chrome recovery plant has been done by the team on Wednesday. Yesterday and day before, we collected water samples to check the water quality from nearly 43 chrome-based tanning units that give effluent waste to Common Chrome treatment plants being run by Kanpur Municipal Corporation. Total number of 64 chrome-based tanning units have been covered till Wednesday."
The efforts are aimed at checking rising level of river pollution due to tanneries following the high court directives wherein the court had asked the PCB authorities to take action against chromium-based tanneries in city as they contributed to pollution in the Ganga in an unprecedented manner.
The court was apprised about the current chromium level in the Ganga was well over 100 times the permissible limit.
Hearing a PIL on abatement of pollution in the Ganga, a division bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and Arun Tandon had passed the direction after the reports submitted before it by the Central Pollution Control Board and the UPPCB revealed the chromium level in the Ganga was 248 mg per litre, against a permissible level of only 2 mg per litre.
As per the amicus curiae A K Gupta, who had argued the matter, the reports had stated that the concentration of chromium in the Ganga, when it passed through Kanpur, was 124 times more than the permissible level and this is a serious health hazard. He had also added that the report said that such high level of chromium concentration might even cause cancer.
The city has around 402 tanneries of which as many as 126 (both bigger and smaller units) are having their individual chrome tanning units. However, around 79 (mostly smaller units) of these are members of Chromium treatment plants being run by Kanpur Municipal Corporation.
Some smaller tanneries still use vegetable or spirit tanning, which a time consuming process taking a few weeks.
