[1093] Class III Beta-Tubulin Expression in Endometrial Tumors.
Michele Lomme, Nada Kawar, Don Dizon, Dwayne Lawrence. Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, Providence, RI
Background: Tubulin, the major building block of microtubules, functions as structural and mobile elements in mitosis, intracellular transport, and in the cytoskeleton. Recent studies have shown that increased tumor expression of the class III beta-tubulin isotype (b3T), correlates with poor clinical outcomes in patients with various malignancies. These include breast, ovarian, gastric, and non-small cell lung cancers. Studies suggest that these poor clinical outcomes, in the setting of b3T overexpression, are related to resistance to tubulin-binding chemotherapeutic agents, such as taxanes and vinca alkaloids, used in the treatment of these malignancies. Treatment of endometrial cancer may also be treated with tubulin-binding agents. The purpose of this study is to investigate b3T expression in endometrial tumors.
Design: Endometrial cancer cases were identifed from the hospital database for a 3 year period. General information, including patient demographics, tumor characteristics, chemotherapeutic agents used, and survivor data, was collected using pathology reports, clinical records, and tumor registry data. Residual formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, archived in the Department of Pathology, was retrieved for each tumor and subjected to immunohistochemical staining for b3T. Slides were evaluated for the presence of staining and scored semiquantitatively on a 4-tiered scale based on percentage of total tumor area staining and intensity of staining.
Results: Ninety-six uterine cancer cases were stained for b3T. The majority (n=64) were adenocarcinomas (45 endometrioid, 10 serous, 9 endometrioid with mucinous differentiation). Approximately half (46.8%) of adenocarcinomas showed b3T over expression. The majority of sarcomas (85.7%) were negative for b3T. Among carcinosarcomas, 64.3% showed b3T over expression, almost exclusively in the carcinomatous component. When comparing b3T positive to b3T negative tumors, no statistically significant differences were seen among demographic characteristics, stage or grade of tumors, or among chemotherapeutic modalities. However, tumors showing b3T over expression were more likely to have lymphovascular invasion (47.9% vs. 14.6%, p=0.001) and a worsened uterine cancer specific survival.
Conclusions: Differential class III beta-tubulin staining patterns are seen in endometrial cancers across all histologic subtypes. Further investigation is warranted to further characterize the correlation between class III beta-tubulin positivity and clinical outcomes.

- The most common method of
reading printed QR Code barcodes is with a camera-based
image reader
(aka: barcode imager). Most of the hand-held barcode imagers
recommended by IDAutomation perform keyboard emulation and
receive power from the USB port so that no external power
supply is needed. When a QR Code barcode symbol is read
using keyboard emulation, the data appears at the cursor
as if it had been typed in from the keyboard.
- When reading QR Code barcodes from the screen of an
iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, Windows Phone or other mobile
device, it is necessary to use an advanced imager such as
IDAutomation 2D USB Scanner. Advanced 2D Imagers also
read from LCD and LED screens, as
in this video.
- Most
barcode imagers have the ability to read QR-Code barcodes
by default, such as the
and Honeywell Barcode Imagers. Many hand-held
imagers also read very small symbols, such as the
IDAutomation 2D Omni-Directional Scanner, which reliably
reads the IDAutomation
QR-Code Barcode Font when printed as small as 3 points,
which is an X-dimension of 10 mils.
- In many cases, it may be desired to have the scanner trigger a form or action in an application. IDAutomation has documented simple methods of accomplishing this task in the USB Barcode Scanner Application Integration Guide.
Encoding ASCII Functions (such as Tabs and Returns)
- QR Code allows
codes to be easily encoded for various functions such
as tabs and returns. These functions are not usually visible
when scanned unless the
Scanner ASCII String Decoder is used with a scanner
that has lower ASCII capability such as the
Honeywell Xenon 1900 Barcode Imager or
IDAutomation 2D Barcode Scanner with Control + ASCII mode
In all IDAutomation products, the tilde (~) may be used to encode ASCII functions according to the documentation. For example; ~d009 is used to encode a tab and ~d013 encodes a return. In many development environments, Chr or Char may also be used to encode the ASCII value directly. For example, the programming examples below encode "ECC" <tab> 200:
Java: DataToEncode= "ECC" + (char)9 + "200";
Visual Basic: DataToEncode= "ECC" & Chr(9) & "200"
Encoding Double Byte, Unicode and Extended ASCII Character
It is possible to scan and encode international and extended characters provided the instructions below are followed:
- Encode the data using byte encoding.
- Scan the data via the serial interface option (data bits have to be 8N) on the scanner. Normally, keyboard wedges and USB scanners do not support extended characters above ASCII 128, and only scan characters that are actually on the keyboard. Contact the scanner vendor for more information as some of the scanner's internal settings may need to be changed.
- It is recommended to limit the amount of data encoded
in each symbol to 800 characters or less if possible. The
ISO/IEC 18004 specifications state that up to 2900 bytes
and 4200 ASCII characters may be encoded in single symbol;
however, few imagers can dependably decode symbols that
large. The amount of data that can be encoded will vary
depending upon the type of data, the encoding mode and what
the scanner can read. In ASCII or text mode, the amount
of data that can be encoded is significantly decreased due
to mode switching between different types of characters,
such as between numbers, upper case, lower case and punctuation.
Most camera based imagers and hand-held scanners have difficulty reading symbols that contain over 800 characters. In the best case scenario, up to 1200 ASCII characters have been successfully encoded and read by using the text encoding mode of the IDAutomation QR Code Barcode Font with the IDAutomation 2D Barcode Scanner.
Control Characters and use of Tilde
- IDAutomation
QR Code Barcode Fonts,
and Applications
use the tilde character "~" to recognize special characters
when "Apply Tilde" or "Process Tilde" is enabled. The following
tilde options are available:
- ~dNNN: Represents the
ASCII character encoded by the 3 digits NNN.
- For example:
~d009 represents a tab,
~d013 represents a return and
~d065 represents the character 'A'.
- For example:
- ~dNNN: Represents the
ASCII character encoded by the 3 digits NNN.
Is a License Required for Use?
- Denso Wave, Inc. invented the QR-Code symbology. A notification on their website states that no license or royalty fees are required for use provided that a proper copyright notice is included that refers to Denso Wave, Inc. as the copyright owner.

I looked up the train schedule for the Thomas rides where Thomas "pulls" the passenger cars for the local roailroad. The schedule will have to be updated with specific dates, but you can get an idea when he's coming to your area.
We took my kids to ride him 2 years ago in Durango. We had an absolute blast. There were kids everywhere and not a single one was crying. There was plenty to see and do. We felt like we got our money's worth. |

Hello, I am having a recurring problem... I am having what appears to be clean water come up my basement drain approximately 4-8 hours after a long, hard hard rain. I do live in an area that has a high water table. The sump pump ran during the rain. It is not running now (does have power). One more piece of info: when I do anything with water upstairs (main floor), I hear echoes in the other drains. The last time it happened about a month ago, the water receded in about 2 days. It has been 4 days, although there were on and off showers all day yesterday, and the water has only gone down slightly. Help, please!!! |

Where does the basement drain go? A municipal system? Septic tank? Cesspool? (If any are still in use.) And are you sure it's not coming up around the drain, but not from the drain? |

I know you're not supposed to can tomatoes from dead or frost killed vines. But on the other hand, when using fresh tomatoes, waiting a couple of days after picking can help ripen the tomatoes that ended up picked but just "weren't quite ready".
So... What do I do with all my "green" tomatoes that decided to ripen in this little heat wave that hit? A good third to half of my green tomatoes are showing decent color.
Follow-Up Postings:
Did the vines get frosted? If not, you can still use them for canning. If they were frosted, you can make stuff to freeze. I ended up making a big batch of meatless spaghetti sauce to freeze with the last of mine. They were from vines that were "lightly frosted". I had them covered, but anywhere the vine touched the tarp, they were damaged. I chose to proceed as if they were from damaged vines. Picked ones that had even a hint of light green, pink blush and allowed them to ripen indoors. Deanna |
Not to hijack this thread, and I too have heard not to can tomatoes from vines that have been frosted, but why not? The past few years I have taken the green tomatoes from the frosted vines and made Salsa. You can tell if the fruit themselves have been frozen, and not to use those, but why not the rest? Steve |

Ladies who lunch…usually get more dressed up than this! Angie Harmon was makeupless and rocking cargo pants, for a sloppy-casual red carpet look.
Carey Mulligan was the darling of the day, in a sweet, yellow and white halter, which eluded Old Hollywood glamour.
The retro feeling, belted frock was perfect for a daytime luncheon.
Carey finished off the look with some very unique, netted shoes.
Cat Deeley looked fab in a wildly patterned, belted frock, but what was she thinking when she stepped out of the house with that bright, orange bag?
Ginnfer Goodwin paired a satin Moschino jumpsuit with Aldo shoes and a faux ostrich Tunney clutch, for a very retro look.
Nikki Reed looked totally chic, until it came down to the boots. Love her nude mini, black blazer, and embellished purse, but the boots were too rough.
This is what happens when Peter Sarsgaard is away from Maggie too long. The actor hit the Everlon luncheon, wearing an awful blue blazer over a grey button down, with jeans and burgundy-ish shoes.
Shiva Rose missed the mark with this graphic mini, which was awkwardly cut and totally unflattering even on her!

GameTrailers Beefs Up Game Head
Two MTV Networks gaming properties, Spike TV and GameTrailers, are joining forces to enhance the popular interactive entertainment TV show Game Head.
The move further signifies MTV's increasing focus on gaming, and exhibits how the company is leveraging its TV strengths and recently acquired online videogame presence.
The new Game Head will debut on Friday, February 23 and will feature new segments "On Location" and "GameTrailers Download."
"On Location" will have Game Head host Geoff Keighley (pictured) reporting on-site at various points of industry interest, while "GameTrailers Download" will show off the latest content at the GameTrailers website.
GameTrailer hosts Amanda McKay and Daniel Kayser will both join Keighley on the new Game Head.
"This new collaboration is the first step in demonstrating the synergy within the MTVN Entertainment Group by driving viewers and users to both brands," said Spike TV general manager Kevin Kay. "We are combining forces among two leading video content suppliers, Spike in the TV landscape and GameTrailers as a leading digital presence."
GameTrailers CEO Jon Slusser called the collaboration with Spike TV "a natural extension of what we do online everyday."

HELENA — Gov. Steve Bullock said Friday he told U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to butt out when the Nevadan tried to offer his opinion last December on the governor's appointment of a new U.S. senator to replace Sen. Max Baucus.
Bullock told reporters Friday that he received a call from Reid in December before it became public that President Barack Obama would be appointing Sen. Max Baucus as U.S. ambassador to China. By state law, the Montana governor fills any Senate vacancies by appointing a replacement.
"Harry Reid wanted to weigh in on who I should choose and this was before it was even public," Bullock said. "And I said, 'It's none of your damn business.' "
Last Friday, Bullock appointed his lieutenant governor, John Walsh, to take Baucus' seat. Walsh, a Democrat, had already been a candidate to succeed Baucus, and had the support of Democratic Party leaders in Montana and Washington, D.C.
Bullock was asked if Reid, D-Nev., had suggested a name for him to appoint and which one.
The governor told reporters to contact Reid to get his side of the conversation and the name.
Reid's press office had not responded to a request for comment in response to Bullock's remarks by late Friday afternoon.
The conversation
In response to another question asking him about the call from Reid, Bullock recounted his end of the conversation:
"I said (to Reid), 'You know what? Stay out of my decision-making. This is a decision I make and no one else,' " Bullock said. "Did I speak to other senators or other party officials about it? No I did not. This is one of those decisions that the voters have entrusted me with.' "
Baucus surprised the political world last April by announcing he would not seek a seventh term in the U.S. Senate.
Republicans have alleged that Baucus' appointment as ambassador to China and Walsh's appointment to succeed Baucus as U.S. senator was part of a "backroom deal" orchestrated by the White House, Reid and Bullock.
"If there was a backroom deal, I certainly was never invited into that back room," Bullock said Friday.
It was the first time Bullock had told reporters about Reid's call.
Bowen Greenwood, executive director of the Montana Republican Party, said, "Despite claims that Bullock told Harry Reid to butt out, he still did what Harry wanted and Reid's candidate of choice was appointed to the U.S. Senate."
Greenwood said he found it "a little odd" that Bullock didn't tell reporters about Reid's call until after he appointed Walsh.
Reid played an active role in trying to influence the Montana Senate race in other ways, other Democratic Senate candidates said.
Call to Bohlinger
Former Lt. Gov. John Bohlinger has said Reid called him in late October after news broke that Bohlinger was planning to run for the Senate. Walsh and Dirk Adams, a Wilsall rancher, also were announced Democratic candidates then.
"He said … 'John, we don't want a primary in Montana. We've chosen our candidate (Walsh),' " Bohlinger told the State Bureau this week. "And then he said, 'What kind of a job do you want? I can get you a job here in D.C.' "
Bohlinger said he told Reid, "I don't want a job in D.C. I want to be Montana's next senator. I said I think it's inappropriate for you as well as the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to take sides in a primary."
Bohlinger also said he thought it was inappropriate for Baucus, then a senator, and Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., to take sides in a contested Democratic primary.
Adams, a rancher and attorney, said he called the CEO of the American Association for Justice, formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, to seek the organization's support in the Senate race.
He said the CEO said she was sorry, but the association already was supporting Walsh.
Adams asked why the group hadn't interviewed him before making a decision.
She told him that Reid told the group to support Walsh and "we do what Harry says," Adams said.
"I think getting assistance from Harry Reid is not free," Adams said. "He's going to have our senators' vote for things to help Nevada that don't necessary help Montana. It's going to be very hard for John Walsh to resist that."

Are there any grapes (table or wine) that are less/no maintenance when it comes to spraying? Six years ago (before kids) I planted 12 Chambourcin vines (on a 3 wire trellis with annual pruning) with the intention of making wine. They have done well and set fruit but shrivel or blacken before harvest. Some of teh leaves get a rust spot or margins. I know wine grapes require "attention" to get them to harvest, but I have not sprayed them with anything, ever. Last year however I did get grapes and made juice which the family enjoyed. It raised expectations for this year but alas, all the fruit is dying again. I am considering pulling the Chambourcin and plant a table grape to use for juice and jam which the family will enjoy more. I remember as a kid that the neighbor's backyard concord arbor was always full without spraying. I realize the wine grapes require spraying but my family prefer I don't spray. Over the years, 3 vines have died and I replaced them with two Himrod seedless and a concord seedless. They have the same fate as the Chambourcin except this year the COncord looks like it will make it when all teh others will not. Any sugestions for improving the Chambourcin harvest or planting some other variety? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't spray... not sure why you want to spray, sounds like a fungus to me. You could spray with an antifungal. I am not sure about growing vines in the East... out here, there's not much humidity and no rain so the fungi are less. Though we do have the Glassywinged Sharpshooter. You might take a leaf to you local ag shop and find out exactly the cause. |
I had the same problem with my vines, I only have 6 shiraz, they have only been in for one season, but at the end of summer the leaves went brown and shriveled. I dont want to spray either, perhaps you could do a google search on organic wine production, and see what goes on there. How are your vines going now ? Its just spring in Australia, so I am keenly waiting to see how my vines go this year. Grape juice sounds yummy! Popi |
Is your climate appropriate for growing grapes? It sounds as though you are getting some sort of fungus on your grapes from a too damp climate for the variety. We don't spray our vines to get them to set a crop. |

HoopsHype Larry Johnson rumors
At the time, in early 1987, Johnson was angry, and his mother was heartbroken. A few years later, he realized he caught the lucky break of a lifetime. He realized it while leading the Rebels to the 1990 NCAA championship and emerging as the top player in college basketball. And even after 10 years in the NBA, his heart was still with UNLV. "It was the highlight of my career," he said. "I didn't think that at the time, because you've got all these great things ahead of you. I was drafted No. 1, and I thought I was going to the NBA to kill Michael Jordan and everybody. It didn't happen." Las Vegas Review-Journal
In December 2007, Johnson earned his Bachelor of Arts in social science studies from UNLV. He said his late mother, Dortha, always wanted him to return for his degree. "With no pro team here in Las Vegas, it was overwhelming actually. Everybody couldn't take that," he said. "You had to have a special mind to be in Vegas and be on top like that and get through. "I think I was more successful and I was more in tune with what was going on in college. In the NBA, it was more of a glamorous life. Everything was catered to you, and it's like you really made it. "It's the journey to get there, and UNLV was my journey." Las Vegas Review-Journal
New Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has ruled out the possibility of Larry Johnson joining his staff as an assistant coach. The Daily Herald's Mike McGraw reported that the former No. 1 overall pick was interested in the job, but Thibodeau, appearing on WMVP-AM 1000's "Waddle & Silvy Show" Friday morning, said the search is still on for Pete Myers replacement. "(Johnson) was interested but, at this point, I don't think it's a possibility any longer," Thibodeau said. Chicago Tribune
A familiar name has surfaced in the Bulls' search for a new assistant coach. Larry Johnson, the former No. 1 overall draft pick, is interested in the job and visited the team recently. Johnson has a history with new Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. Johnson played for the New York Knicks from 1996-2001, while Thibodeau was on the coaching staff working under Jeff Van Gundy. Since retiring in 2001, Johnson has not held any formal coaching jobs. Another top candidate for the Bulls' spot is long-time NBA point guard Terry Porter. He's been sitting at home since being fired as head coach of the Phoenix Suns on Feb. 16, 2009, less than a year into his tenure. Porter, a Milwaukee native, also served as head coach of the Bucks from 2003-05. Arlington Heights Daily Herald

Flawless Design and Smooth Power
The Samsung Galaxy S3 was without a doubt the most eagerly awaited handset of 2012 and all of the hype that built up prior to its release wasn't for nothing. Powering this slick and smooth handset is a super quad core processor, but what you see is definitely what you pay for. If you're after power, then you should look no further but the high price tag may cause you to re-think. For this, the Samsung Galaxy S3 gets a rating of 4 out of 5.
Android lovers will be pleased to know that the Samsung Galaxy S3 runs flawlessly on the 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system although it has not been confirmed yet whether it will be receive an update to 4.1 Jelly Bean.
As well as Ice Cream Sandwich, Samsung have installed their own TouchWiz user interface, and it is here that the S3 loses some of its charm. Although it may look polished on the surface, underneath is a UI that is a little bit clunky and slow to respond at times. But if you really fancy an S3, it's nothing that you couldn't get used to.
One new exciting addition that TouchWiz did bring to the S3 was eye-tracking. This utilises the front facing camera so that it detects when a face is looking at the screen. Although this works fine when the user is looking directly at the phone, but if it is propped at even a slight angle, then it will not work.
Samsung have taken a leaf out of Apple's book and installed a voice assistant called S-Voice. Although it is a nice idea, it is not without its flawless and sometimes it fails to understand what you are saying, but it is good for basic commands.
If you love gaming, then you'll love the Galaxy S3. The huge 1.4GHz quad core processor is more than capable of supporting the more demanding games that are available in the Google Play store and on screen the graphics look amazing. The whole gameplay experience was smooth and did not slow or stutter even once.
Browsing the web was also excellent, which is no surprise given the combined power of Ice Cream Sandwich and the quad core processor. For maximum browsing potential, it is recommended that you download Google Chrome which has been designed to work in harmony with the S3 in order to get the most out of the Internet.
But, all this power inside is bound to take its toll somewhere, and for the S3, that place is the battery life. Owners should expect the need to charge the S3 once a night and it is also worth noting that it takes an incredibly long time to charge through a USB plug so if at all possible, find a mains plug to charge.
Samsung have really outdone themselves with the Galaxy S3, combining a smooth pebble design with an extraordinary amount of power. The user interface can prove to be a little frustrating at times but this can be overlooked when you consider the power, the crystal clear screen and the 8 megapixel camera. Just think twice about the price tag before you commit to the S3.

4.8Between this phone and an iPhone, I would choose neither. Seriously, these two phones are just too much. I was pretty disappointed with the iPhone and thought that this phone would be any better. I never knew how disappointed I was. Too pricey for features that I do not really need.
great looking design. not a brick anymore! everything looks fantastic and the features are of course the best. this is the best phone ever!
this is a very big phone! i have trouble keeping this. size is good but it's hard to keep!
perfect phone of the century!
if you're into the latest mobilephone technology, i'd recommend the galaxy s3. smartphones easily get obsolete. so it's wise to get the newest phone rather than the last one. i bought this when it was released. i was not dissapointed, its great!
galaxy s3 sure is a powerful device! i purchased this phone last month and i'm very satisfied with it.
I like this one over the iPhone simply because it is more compatible with more apps and, of course, it is a Samsung. I have been loyal to Samsung ever since.
too much hype and is not really that great. I was reall literally holding my breathe while I was unpacking this phone only to be disappointed at the end.
It is humongous. My brother told me it is very big but I did not expect it to be that big. I was just too caught up with its features and specs that I though I would be able to overlook the size. Well, I guess I should be getting used to it soon.
This is a very advanced smartphone. It took mobile phone technology to a whole new level. It is upgradable to Jelly Bean OS in the next few months. It runs on a super-high speed 1.4 GHz quad-core and packs a 1GB RAM! Now that's totally insane! It's like a laptop, only smaller. Battery is a lot better. This is a must have for mobile phone enthusiasts. If you want a very powerful phone, this is the best one to buy!
this is the fastest phone I ever had! it has a stunning HD screen, and loads of other features, and it has a latest version of a Android phone it is worth the price if you bought it guys!!
extremly beautiful phone... very fast and looks elegant.. the best in a long time..
From a SE fan, I say that this totally beats the new Xperia. The powerful hardware and features beats any high end phone to date. When I first saw this, I bought it right out. No complaints, this is the best.
This phone is inspired by nature, its nature theme is very relaxing and very cool
This phone is pretty fast and it has all the features you are looking for but the problem is its size. Its too large too fit in your pocket.
This handset has high performance processor and all features that will make you want to buy it but it has a casing problem because its screen will easily crack.
The newest phone, SIII Features Simultaneous HD video and image recording,8MP Camera with autofocus and LED flash.
I have used both phone Galaxy S3 and Htc one X, personally, I prefer one X to galaxy s3 regarding battery performance.
Had my s3 2 weeks ago, and I notice that the battery needs charging twice a day. When I bought it the seller said the battery is good enough to last up to 2 days even it is used for calls.
Whenever I open security in settings and tap on the owner information, after few seconds the screen will display, unfortunately settings has stooped, I started noticing this of late and no idea what to do to fixed it.
I have updated my s3 to jb but the problem is I could not find the voice command control. Before it was on language and input, now its gone.
This is a nice phone with a big and clear screen that I always enjoying to used every day in playing games and downloading some programs.
this phone is awesome and it has the best and the latest features according to me..it works like a micro laptop with 1GB ram and 1.4ghz processor..it has a large screen of 4inch enough for any surfing and other purposes..it too has a large inbuilt memory..so its a great deal than the iphone i think..
Samsung is very innovative that they put more cores on s4. I'm telling u guys, the idea was very good for those consumer who doesn't know about programming and engineering. But what about the side of us technology, the Samsung seems like. quad core or even dual core is enough for the android ecosystem, it's not about the hardware it's all about the system interface.
I have problem with my SIII to , I noticed a hairline frame crack neat the USB port, AS said by guys the initial pieces which came just after its release were affected badly by this build quality issue, even without a single drop these frame starts cracking, I complained Samsung regarding this issue, But they are not acknowledge as in warranty issue rather asking me to pay 7200 Rs to replace the frame.
I have the galaxy SIII for about 4 months now. I had the SII and absolutely loved it over the iPhone I had prior to it. But the SIII is the worse phone I have ever had, Its lack of RAM makes it skips close anything your running every five minutes or so. Navigate on the web is IMPOSSIBLE without loading crappy cell phone version websites, It is simply impossible to feel the Exynos soc's speed because the SIII keeps closing anything you're doing.
The iphone is so overrated. the screen is to small , you have to buy apps that are free on most or all androids, and you have to buy songs from the I-store that you can get free from g tunes and other free music apps on androids, and seems to be to me is more complicated on some of the features and apps. all your really paying for is the name. its sad that people are blind to these things.
Forget the games once they are not running it should not use the battery, Look at the settings in your messaging, email, and social apps, That may be using your cellular radio more than you like when your phone is idle or one of them could be stopping the phone from going ideal. Checking the individual settings of programs that access your cellular radio, wi fi, & GPS are important because the default settings for each app may not always be best for battery life.
I have been using S3 for the past 3 months without any problems. Updated from ICS to Jelly Bean two days back in India. It was an official release and updated OTA. Since the update, my handset doesn't charge even till 70% , even after being plugged in with original Samsung Charger/Cable for more than 10 hours.
My phone was shipped from china. it does not live up to the stats listed on computer. it supposed to be ice cream sandwich but is gingerbread with ice cream overlays plus other discrepancies, how do I get a hold of Samsung. Can't find a phone number anywhere, no instruction manual came with it.
And it stores power on what seems to be a watch battery. To this day it still gives a reading of 100% charged and I never turn the keyboard off. And the only light it gets is from a 40" TV and/or a compact fluorescent and whatever ambient light that comes from the glass in the door. I don't expect a phone to run on a watch battery but it looks at the size of the back cover on this thing and the note II.
I consider my use very heavy, specially browsing. Part of my work consists of checking video reviews of games, to benchmark the reviews of the games we produce at my company. So I often open 4 to 5 videos at once, and I hate to open the cell phone version of them. I Know I'm pushing too hard, but as I said, I bought the powerful S3 exactly with the intention of pushing too hard.
Sony Xperia t already has also one of the best low light cameras with exmor r and one of the best screens with bravia engine as well as the xperia v has also the best screen ever similar a bit to the lumia 920 which is the sensor on lens technology, and if Nokia will also offer android it can put a full hd and 41mp camera on its phone.
I just love having this phone. One of the best decisions in my life and I do not make many of those a lot. Try it out. Worth your money a lot!
This one is just way off the top! Everything about it is just perfect in terms of performance and dependability. Nothing beats a phone that meets these two things, my opinion that is. So if you are planning to buy a new phone, this is just the one that you have been looking for. Do not waste time!
Just marvelous! You should give this one a try. Might be too heavy on your budget but with its durability and the features it offers, you do not have to worry about buying a new phone soon.
I pledge toall people who love and breathe gadgets and phones that this is jus the best there is. Take my word for it.
Well, maybe it is good but I think Samsung was still holding back. For some reasons that we do not know. I mean, this phone could have had a lot of potentials. But then again, who could tell. Average really.
I love this phone. Honestly. I just hate all the updates! How do I turn it off?!
I have an impression that this phone is really good. But I just find it so complicated. I mean the learning curve is extremely way way more than how it took me to learn other phones of the same caliber. This is what most gadgets' problem is. It has become so sophisticated that it took for granted the users' capability to easily learn new stuffs.
Many people would say that the galaxy phones are better than the iPhones. However, I think this phone does not really compliment those beliefs. I am a Galaxy fanatic and I do not really have high regard for iPhones. But I was just disappointed with S3.
For a very powerful phone, I think the phone's battery is really amazing. It lasts longer than I expected. Battery life is really important for me so I think this is a big plus for this phone considering its specifications. It is very fast and it is also user friendly, or maybe I am just used to using Galaxy phones.
One of the most intriguing thing about this phone was it was marketed to have a design that was inspired by nature. I do not know about you but I seem not to see how this gadget would transcend into something tree like or water like. But anyway, this phone is good. LOL
It is the same with all other iPhones. Yes, I know we are talking about the Galaxy SIII but I am definitely sure when I said that it is the same with other iPhones. One simple similarity. OVERRATED!
I think this phone is not just all talk! It is definitely the real thing. I mean, in terms of performance, quality and design, it has brought its predecessor into a different level of improvement which is I think what is lacking in Apple phones.
This phone is fierce. I mean the color. But when it comes to performance, it is actually fiercer. It woks wonderfully well! I have to say the first thing that I found really awesome about this phone is its display. It is so clear you would know that it is of the best quality. And the responsiveness is actually impressive, too! Much better than S2 and guess what S2 is already in its own superbly fast!
I am really interested to get this phone but it seems it is a very rare find. Good thing I found it here!
Best phone I ever have it has a great features and very clear wide screen. Also the touch screen is very smooth to swipe and very good battery life.
Thats sort of like wanting to open a wffale shop without any restaurant experience, isnt it? Sure, youve eaten wffales before and you like them and you want to share wffales with everyone, but you have no idea how to run a profitable restaurant. You need to learn: sales techniques, marketing, product specifics and uses, competitive information, contracts licensing, underwriting, management, and the basics of related fields such as accounting, law, and securities.I started in personal sales and moved to a brokerage general agency to learn more. Some of you may be surprised, but I still dont know it all Was this answer helpful?
I have observed that rates for on-line dergee authorities tend to be a terrific value. Like a full 4-year college Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits at $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online comes with a Bachelors of Business Administration with a whole school element of 180 units and a price of $30,560. Online studying has made obtaining your diploma been so detailed more than before because you can easily earn your current dergee through the comfort of your home and when you finish from office. Thanks for all the other tips I've learned through your web-site.
Thanks for your ideas. One thing we have noticed is that often banks and fciinnaal institutions really know the spending patterns of consumers while also understand that most of the people max outside their cards around the holiday seasons. They correctly take advantage of this kind of fact and start flooding your current inbox and snail-mail box together with hundreds of no-interest APR credit card offers right after the holiday season finishes. Knowing that if you are like 98% in the American public, you'll soar at the chance to consolidate credit card debt and switch balances to 0 rate credit cards.
Thanks for your helpful post. In rencet times, I have come to understand that the particular symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by the particular build up of fluid relating to the lining in the lung and the torso cavity. The condition may start in the chest region and spread to other parts of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight reduction, severe deep breathing trouble, nausea, difficulty taking in food, and puffiness of the neck and face areas. It ought to be noted that some people living with the disease don't experience just about any serious indicators at all.
Thanks a lot for the helpful post. It is also my beielf that mesothelioma cancer has an particularly long latency time period, which means that the signs of the disease won't emerge right until 30 to 50 years after the original exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common variety and has an effect on the area about the lungs, could potentially cause shortness of breath, chest pains, plus a persistent cough, which may bring about coughing up blood vessels.
Thanks for the helpful artlcie. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an really long latency interval, which means that warning signs of the disease would possibly not emerge till 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, and that is the most common kind and affects the area round the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, torso pains, including a persistent coughing, which may bring about coughing up our blood.

You have to understand that this is my peoanrsl blog where I write about things I've discovered and that interest me, mainly mobile browsers and browsing. It's not a free service to modify apps for you.

I think that's the UC Browsers own keyboard. You can turn it off by senttig Virtual Keyboard" to "Never Use" in UC's Menu under Settings > Display. That should give you the LG 840G's normal keyboard as it appears in the built in browser. I don't have the phone so I don't know if the LG keyboard is QWERTY or T9. If it's T9 in portrait, it might be QWERTY in landscape.
I upgraded from 8.6 to 8.7 and my saved pages form 8.6 are still there in 8.7. In UC go to Home and click the tlbooar's Downloads icon (an arrow pointing downward) and you should see them. If you don't see them, try saving a page into the same folder that you used for saved pages in 8.6 and see if that helps. http://eetdlklnb.com [url=http://wbrrlolc.com]wbrrlolc[/url] [link=http://rnmsupbrep.com]rnmsupbrep[/link]

Obviously, QuotesChimp may be contended that policy contract is around because the start of world. Early Oriental retailers are generally attributed with having become the very first to comprehend the notion of distributing threat. Perhaps not that they'd a Lloyd's of Peking, actually, nonetheless a clever agreement was reached by them to shield every person from the problems and deficits of band its, climate, along with other risks times. Each merchant was allowed by that agreement to send a little element of his freight in all of a few caravans that could be sent. If your ship wrecked in the roaring rapids of the Yangtse water, all the retailers might drop a little part of these products rather than just one retailer dropping every thing.

Just curious as to what everyone has found to be the best roses to be used as "standards". I want to order a couple next spring. Some just shouldn't be used in this way (i.e. Livin Easy) as their stalks get huge & break off.
What have you had luck with???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The "weeping" varieties look best to me. I have a 60" 'Renae' that is excellent, and there are some quite nice 'Flower Carpet Pink' standards in the neighborhood. They weep nicely and bloom a lot. Some floribundas, the really twiggy ones like 'Iceberg', are not bad, too. |

We have a couple of 24" Fairy tree rose which are spectacular. I also love our Blushing Knock Out (also 24" patio trees) & our 36" Gourmet Popcorn. We've found it's best to go with smaller blooms because you get much more of a show out of it. |
Gourmet Popcorn and Sweet Chariot. But if you are willing to fertilize the bejesus out of it, I've also seen phenomenal examples of tree roses using Fame! and Playboy. Both developed trunks in excess of 4" in diameter over time. |
Here is a diagram of tree rose basics just a FYI I haven't used metal for a stake but I wish I had. I think coated rebar would be great to use. Allison |
Hi, Peggy! I also consider how many grafts the tree roses come with... The more grafts the tree rose has the more likely it will have a rounded appearance... And will also save you from bad mishaps should one cane or stem get wacked out or suffer from canker. Some tree roses from other vendors only come with 2 bud unions... I know that mine come with 4 grafts, all of which I have desperately needed. I think it would be great if everyone were to help post a photo of their mature tree roses for you so that you can compare... So far I have been very happy with both of mine from Jackson & Perkins... They have 4 grafts each...but!!! they are very young tree roses and still have a long ways to go... I have Fragrant Cloud and Gemini. So far Gemini, at least to me has a naturally rounded appearance...Fragrant Cloud I have to hack to control its shape from getting too tall all at once. Both are prolific bloomers but Fragrant Cloud is the continual bloomer whereas Gemini is almost continual, but not quite... It goes through a more distinct repeat flush, whereas with FC it's always coming up roses upon roses. I think other considerations for tree roses can be taken such as how prolific is it to enhance its beauty...It's a bit boring just to have a rounded cluster of leaves I think. Included in these photos are my FC tree rose's very first blooms (the one with the dog), and one of the times when I had a bad mishap due to a huge rainstorm. But once the sun came out and I cut some of the blooms, the tree rose had some time to straighten up and although some of the canes remained bent, it will eventually even out, I can tell...As you can see Fragrant Cloud needs all 4 grafts to force the rounded illusion... Both my tree roses are fed Garden-ville Sea tea so perhaps this could also have an effect... The flowers are huge... |

LOL! decobug, remember vendors and landscape gardens don't count! there's only a few in there who are home growers...like the magnificent Electric Blanket! now that's a killer tree rose... That person knows and grows his tree rose...Hope someday mine will look as full and lush! That would be a dream. I always feel that home photos are the ones that need to be listed because they show reality... (not the EHow photos or the J&P and other vendors like "Fast-Growing Trees" and Growquest as the ones depicted.... |

Thanks everyone. Does anyone have a home photo of a carpet flower tree rose? I'm kind of curious about that one. I have a Playboy, but it's not blooming much. Guess I'll have to fertilize a bit more as suggested. Does Gourmet Popcorn have to be dead-headed? |
- Posted by holleygarden 8/East Texas (My Page) on Thu, Jul 30, 09 at 22:29
Thanks, Allison, for the diagram. Peggy, I have two tree roses, both of which were in sad shape last fall when I bought them. (On clearance, so I didn't have much of an investment.) My 'Dream Come True' is still sadly shaped, but my 'Ebb Tide' is rounding out very nicely and blooms almost continuously. Ebb Tide is also fragrant, which is nice as she is planted by the walkway to my front door. Just a side note: I saw some 'tree roses' for sale the other day and the poor things were only 12" tall! I wondered if they would ever get any taller - maybe someone can tell us. The ones I have now are around 36" and it's a nice size, as they are not in pots but are planted in the ground. |

Here's a pic from last year of a newly potted bareroot Julia Child tree rose from Witherspoon Roses. This is a Weeks rose and they are only grafted on two sides as opposed to J&P's 4: Here's the same plant a few days ago: |
I also have 2 standards from Jackson and Perkins. I have Welcome Home which is a yellow and Mr. Lincoln. I live in a different zone then you do but these 2 are doing great in our hot summer ( I am in zone 10, in AZ). They get plenty of water which they need when it is 112F. The Welcome Home is in a huge pot by my front door (like the 2 Electric blankets above) the Mr. Lincoln is in the middle of a mixed rose bed. Right now is really not our growing time in our heat the roses go somewhat dorment so they have no flowers on them but as soon as october comes(usually by the middle of Oct) the rose will perk back up and look great. Right now all they get is water,water,water! So, I do not have a pic to show you until the fall. These 2 have been great growers for me disease resitant and they glide through the heat but as I said above no flowers in the hot summer. (I do get some flowers but they just don't look as good as they should) Our winters are so mild that is our growing time. Carrie Rose Forum member since 1997 |
I think polyanthas would make good tree roses... |

My Tamora from Austin is spectacular. I am NOT posting any pictures because I don't wany her to get an inferiority complex. |

Hoovb just gave me an inferiority complex! Not only is Renae stunning, from what I can see the entire yard is absolutely beautiful! OK, off the computer - I'm going outside to work in the yard! |
Wow these are some beautiful tree roses! I am wondering how zone 5 and 6'ers are growing tree roses planted in the ground. Am I missing something? Also, does anybody know how many grafts on Regan Tree Roses? If you get canker on a cane, does the graft still produce other canes later that will fill in? Thanks! |
I buy most of my tree roses from Reagan. They are vendors for all the big companies (JP, Weeks). The have the largest selection and good customer service but it is hit or miss as far as health and survival. Angel Face, Bella Roma, Bolero, and Marilyn Monroe were fair this year. My Blossom Blanket from JP will not die...and I don't love it. It survives a zone 5 winter. Hoovb, you Renae is spectacular. In zone 5, I use lots of tree roses as annuals. |
hoovb, what is that creamy pink up against the wall to the right of Renae? |
Do the weeks roses have 4 grafts? Where else would you suggest looking for tree roses that has a large selection? |
Hurray for HoovB and JeffAurora with their gorgeous tree roses... I hope my very young tree roses will someday be like theirs... Peggy, yes, fertilizing is very important with hybrid tea roses... You see with floribunda tree roses and the weeping ones (smaller roses) what you'll get is constant color drama, whereas hybrid teas need alfalfa/sea tea types of mixtures to encourage them to have a full lush thick growth instead of the lanky hybrid tea shape and they need those nice organic nutrients to produce more and more blooms...Usually hybrid teas are only repeat bloomers with distinct flushes unlike many floribundas...so you need the organic fertilizers to bring out faster blooming and a healthier tree rose... Also you have to consider a tree rose that is suited to your climate...If you have harsh, glaring scorching sun, it can impact your tree rose as well. Our sun in the Midwest is a scorcher, very intense! and we get roasting heat, but Gemini still holds up its hybrid tea form very well. Not many hybrid teas can. Susan4952, heee-hee! please! post your Tamora. I've never seen a Tamora tree rose! my lopsided crazy tree rose pics should put you at ease... I'm not a bit ashamed of them because this is their first growing season, even though they look ridiculous compared to JeffAurora's and HoovB, LOL! and Susan, it's time for YOU! to make meeeee look ridiculous too... Redsox, with Zone 5 & 6 you can't plant outside unless you bury the whole thing underground. You have to keep them in pots and inside the garage. Even March is too early to keep completely outdoors (you have to bring them in and out) My Gemini was a miracle survivor of a huge ice storm in March 2009 (when I bought it) but I had to dig the whole thing out of the ground and stick it into a pot/indoors... My Gemini tree rose was my very first grown rose! and I nearly killed it (that was when I found our forum because of that catastrophe)...but as you can what a blessing to have it survive and bloom. |
hoovb, what is that creamy pink up against the wall to the right of Renae? Tall one? 'Somebreuil'. Perhaps the shade makes it look pink. It is white in reality. |

Here is a pic of my red flower carpet tree rose. Just bought it @ Lowes in July, has been blooming non-stop ever since. Plus the foilage stays a nice glossy green and the canopy bushy. I used to have an Iceberg standard and a Intrigue standard, both were spindly and raggedy looking by July...I personally would recommend the Flower Carpet rose tree to anyone |

There are some rather spectacular examples of tree roses here. But, if you have them in cold winter areas, do you do the "Minnesota tip", or some other winter protection method? The "Minnesota tip" is digging up one side of the rose and bending it over onto the ground, anchoring it down, and burying it for the winter. Then when spring comes, uncovering it, setting it back up, and letting it get going. To me, a well-grown tree rose is beautiful, but not a real good choice for here in the midwest unless that extra care is standard operating procedure. Does anyone do this, and if so, does this work reasonably well? |

I found this post informative and also enjoyed the photos...I recently received a Playboy Tree for Mothers Day. I am trying to decide on what soil and pot size to use when I repot it from the one it came in. The pruning guide I will attempt to follow. Though I am new to all this...I see the spring pruning will be the most difficult for me. Because it is done so harsh. But if the end results are best then I will attempt to do so. Who knows...I have a few areas that some potted roses would work. The weeping rose tree is amazing! I may have to also look into that if I do we'll with winterizing mine and it comes back next spring. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Penny!
Facts about Penny
- Breed: Vizsla/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Penny's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hello! My name is Penny!
I was rescued from a high kill shelter in KY. It was an awful place. But, I am loving life with my foster parents until I find my forever home! I know if you meet me you will fall in love. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I am a very smart and sweet girl. I am working on being house-trained and making great strides. I like taking walks and playing in the snow. I am all puppy. I like to play and play and then pass out on my dog bed. And I am a little snuggle-butt. Everyone tells me how beautiful I am. Especially my eyes.
I have a very sweet personality. I also LOVE toys, sitting for treats and playing with other dogs. I am doing very well on leash training. My foster parents bought me a wonderful harness. I look quite adorable!
I can't wait to find my forever family...could that be you?
Please contact MRT at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more about me and their adoption process.
Other Pets at Misfit Rescue Team
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Penny, a Louisville Vizsla/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Vizsla/Labrador Retriever for sale in Louisville, or seeking a Vizsla/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Louisville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Louisville 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 Louisville 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 Vizsla/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Vizsla/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Louisville paves the way for another one to be saved.

DO NOT use any kind of thread locker.
Just out of curiosity, why?
Ive been putting blue LocTite on them for longer than I can remember, and have done it on every revolver Ive owned since the first one backed out and tied up the gun, and never had any issues doing so. Never had one that had LocTite on it ever back out again either.
Remove the screw above the trigger with the cylinder closed.
This is another point that benefits from a dab of LocTite, especially with a heavy recoiling gun that gets shot a lot. I learned the hard way with my first Model 29 Smith during a reload. The cylinder just dropped off the gun when I went to put the rounds in. On inspection, the side plate screw that retained had worked loose and fallen out.

NBC Sports to be Inducted into NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame
Washington - Mar 23, 2010 - NBC Sports will be inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame during the NAB Show Television Luncheon. Accepting the honor on behalf of NBC Sports is Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports & Olympics. The Luncheon will be held on April 12, in Las Vegas.
NBC Sports broadcasts a number of sporting events, including the Olympics, the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), Notre Dame football, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, the PGA Tour, the United States Golf Association (USGA) Championships, Wimbledon and the French Open.
Ebersol has produced eight of the top 10 most-watched television events in U.S. history and recently produced three milestone television events: the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 became the most-watched event in U.S. television history with a record 215 million viewers; the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games in 2010 were the second-most watched Winter Olympics in history with 190 million viewers, trailing only the Lillehammer Games in 1994; and Super Bowl XLIII in February 2009 produced, at the time, the largest-single audience in U.S. television history with a record 152 million viewers. It is currently the second-most viewed program of all time.
Ebersol's crowning achievement has been establishing NBC Universal as the home of the Olympic Games. Beginning in 1967, when he temporarily dropped out of Yale University to join Roone Arledge and ABC Sports as television's first-ever Olympic researcher, his passion has been the Olympics. In 1989, Ebersol returned to NBC as president of NBC Sports. He served as executive producer for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, his first Olympics since Munich in 1972 for ABC, and then began a run of Olympic rights agreements.
Ebersol's career is unique, in part, because of its diversity. In addition to his sports prowess, Ebersol, along with Lorne Michaels, whom he hired, conceived and created "Saturday Night Live." As an independent producer, he created Emmy Award-winning programs such as "Friday Night Videos" and "Later with Bob Costas." Ebersol also served as senior vice president of NBC News.
Previous NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame television inductees include Bob Newhart, Bob Barker, NBC's "Meet the Press," Regis Philbin, "The Tonight Show," "Saturday Night Live," Ted Koppel, "M*A*S*H," "60 Minutes," "The Today Show" and "Star Trek," among others.

My new sans in the middle. In a 3 1/3" plastic pot, new pup pushing the side out of shape, and roots coming out of the bottom. It's about 7" tall. I want to repot in clay pot, but I feel like a 4" is too small and a 6" is too big. Can you help me decide? I'm having a Goldilocks moment - which one is just right? LOL. I also wanted to show my birds nest sans, the ones I overwatered. I know it's only 2 weeks, but I think they are making progress. No additional wilty leaves and the centers look good with a tiny new leaf very green and crisp. I made room under my plant lights, and they seem to be responding. Thanks for helping me out, I haven't watered them yet. Can I mist? Lennie PS - the new sans has yellow edges, not white. Plant lights bleached the color. |

What size pot is it currently in? I'm of the opinion, I'd rather have it a little snug than overpotted to reduce the risk of overwatering. Planto |
3 1/2" plastic pot. 4" pot doesn't leave much room, but I have been known to overwater. (cough, cough) |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Dec 11, 12 at 11:20
Lenny, your Sans are doing great. Why did you not post Birds Nest? I agree with Planto about keeping Sans in a smaller pot opposed to too large. When roots and Sans grow larger, 'if you can find a 5" container, good luck,' that should do..Especially clay. 3.5" to 6" is quite a leap. I noticed, 4" pots are shaped different. Some have exact 4" rims, but narrow bottoms. Others are 4" from rim to bottom..4" with the same rim and bottom would probably give your Sans a little more space. I found exact size,'clay 4" rims and bottoms at a grocery store last fall for 1.00. Very few were left..People bought them up. Check roots..see how full they are, then find a container a little larger than root ball. Good luck, Toni |
Thanks, Toni. I have a couple of 4" pots with straight sides, but they are in use. I'll keep my eyes open for more. I will post pictures of my Bird's nest sans in another post. I am hopeful they will survive. Lennie |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Tue, Dec 11, 12 at 12:19
Hi All, If the 6" pot is clay, I'd be OK to use that instead of plastic (that's more important IMO, that it's clay, not plastic, rather than its size.) If you are (uhm, have been) an overwater-er, just plant it shallow in the larger pot, like in mix just a couple of inches deep (& prop them up w/ rocks to stay upright 'til re-rooted) rather than the full height of the pot & water wisely, remembering that as we say in succulents about watering: when in doubt, don't. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Dec 11, 12 at 13:04
Lenny. You're lucky finding straight pots. They're impossible to come by. Murphy's Law..correct pots are in use. lol. Here in IL, it's difficult finding plants and supplies. Choices are either ordering online or pot in what one has. Bird's nest are so pretty..Especially Gold H. 'forgot its spelling.' lol. Hey Karen...Yep, Sans came potted in plastic. Karen, an over-waterer I am not..lol. Not in the least. Our house stays pretty cool in winter, so before giving a drink plants are tested..either sticking a finger, 'small pots,' or thin stake, 'large pots.' Also, lift pots for weight. Years ago, most stores sold clay pots from 1" and larger..not anymore..Most nurseries closed their doors the last few years..Those that sold clay pots, to boot. |

Do you have a Lowes, Home Depot, or Wal-Mart where you are? I've seen clay azaela pots at Lowes that are shorter than the average pot and I think the rim is a little wider. Nonetheless, at Lowes or HD, you should be able to find 4 1/2 in. clay pots (maybe, the Spring might be a better time to look). A 1 in. increment shouldn't be too much bigger. Hope this helps. If you lived near me, I have more clay pots than plants to put them in. Planto |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Tue, Dec 11, 12 at 13:46
Hey Toni, Excuse me, but my potting directions/suggestions are for LME (the OP) not you. LME, I kill Bird's Nest Sans. but I'd say NO to misting; aren't you/they recovering from overwatering? If so, I'd say misting will in crease the odds of ROT!!! |
Thanks, Pirate Girl, I will plant in 6" clay and keep it shallow. I think I need width of 6" and depth of 4". I find clay pots in Home Depot Garden section - I have to go outside and they have them on shelves. Their prices are the best, but the 4" are slanted sides, not straight. I did buy a bromeliad at HD that had a 4" clay pot and a 3.5" plastic pot. Two for one. The bromeliad is still in plastic, I used the straight sided pot right away. I wish I had a Golden Hahni, mine is just plain. I look everywhere, but I may order online next spring. |

The Seattle Seahawks have placed Lompoc native Vai Taua on the practice squad/suspended list. The rookie running back has spent almost the entire season on the team's practice squad.
Seattle did not disclose the reason for the four-game suspension.
Taua first signed with Seattle in mid-August after the Buffalo Bills released the undrafted free agent. The Seahawks have signed and released the Cabrillo High graduate on three separate occasions since then.
Taua rushed for 4,512 yards and 45 touchdowns during his career at the University of Nevada. He also racked up 561 receiving yards and hauled in 8 TD catches for the Wolfpack.
Taua has not played in an NFL regular season game for Seattle this season.

Read on to learn more about how Bonita Bellita came to be, what advice Stephanie has for other etsy sellers and what she has planned for the future. You can also enter to win as beautiful pair of earrings and magnet set!
Where are you from originally and where do you currently call home?
I'm from Southern California, born and raised. I've moved away from the desert I grew up in closer to the ocean I love. Home is technically Fullerton, CA for now.
How long have you been selling on Etsy?
I've been an Etsy seller since May of 2010. It's been a great three and a half years so far!
Do you sell on Etsy full time or do you have a day job?
Etsy is my full time job, although I'm a full time student as well. Originally I started on Etsy for fun, and it grew until one day I had to choice to do what I love or work for someone else. It wasn't a hard decision so I left my job and plunged into Etsy. I know have the luxury of working my schedule around my studies. I'm currently studying environmental studies and marine biology.
Have you had any formal training in the arts?
I have no formal training for the arts, everything I do right now is self taught. I took a few art classes, but it was more for me to use the studio time and do what I already knew how to do. I plan to take classes for metal casting and silversmithing in the future.
What made you decide to open up shop on Etsy?
A school friend of mine opened up a shop herself, mentioning how Etsy was geared toward handmade goodness. I loved that concept and remember how both of my grandmas worked beautiful magic with their hands. I wanted to be a part of that, so I switched in my usual art medium (paintbrushes and watercolor) and began to hand sew flowers from luxurious satins and silks. That overtime let into jewelry.
How did you come up with your shop name?
Bonita Bellita is a name made of generations filled with love. The first part, Bonita, means "beautiful" in Spanish, speaking to my Mexican-American heritage. Bellita is a nod to my daughter, Isabella, as I often call her "Bella" or Bellita" which also mean beautiful or small beauty. Lastly, the "b's" make me think of my mother Bea (pronounced Bee). As soon as the name Bonita Bellita came to mind, it was a perfect fit.
What inspires you?
Memories probably inspire me the most. Nostolgia of old Hollywood glamour often shops up in my crystal jewelry, granted with a modern take. Childhood treasures can be found in my Lost Things Magnet Collections with pretty buttons, clocks, flowers, bugs, and other little findings that young eyes see as valuable. Lockets and keys are usually in my jewelry as well, for all the secrets kept hidden. Ah, the whimsical romance of it all!
What do you like least about your craft?
want to keep a lot of what I make. In fact, I pick every color or pattern or stone based on how much I love it. If I don't love something, I don't work with it. That means making a lot of pieces I love and having to say good-bye when someone orders it and I must ship it off.
Do you have any advice for other sellers on Etsy or those thinking about pursuing their craft?
I would tell them three key points:
1) Do not focus on instant success. If you are serious about wanting to make this work, it can take time. It's absolutely worth the wait.
2) Value yourself and your work. Be fair in your pricing and do not undersell your creations.
3) Have fun. This is the best place to be able to enjoy what you do.
Oh, and I have a number four…
4) Take good photos. You don't need to be a fantastic photographer, but have good natural lighting and try a few angles. Try to capture what makes your work so unique and share that.
Five Etsy Shops you love (I know its hard!):
Etsy shops other than Lillyella, you mean? Ooh, that's tough...
Caroline from PrometheanDesign.etsy.com has some of my favorite pearl rings in her shop. Absolutely swoonworthy twig rings too!
La Nae from LaNaesBakery.etsy.com makes the most scrumptious desserts, I order from her often and even met her once!
Amy Brown from AmyBrownArt.etsy.com paints faeries how I've always known them to be, loved her since before Etsy existed!
yevgenia.etsy.com and her beautiful hand painted ceramics
seapinks.etsy.com with her darling pumpkins and birds... I own a few of those myself.
Five things you love
learning something new and incorporating it into everyday life
traveling (especially abroad)
chai tea
the color teal
the ocean, specifically my beloved Pacific
Five things you don't
the phrase YOLO
celebrity worship (Kardashi-who?)
hot weather (which to me is anything over 90 degrees, only acceptable on beach days)
football (don't throw things at me *hides*)
the overabundance of selfies in social media ... I know what you look like and yes, you were cute this morning, too
(yes, I added one) pollution. Not a fan.
Share some of your guilty pleasures
Dessert is a major guilty pleasure. Also a big fan of certain shows, namely Dr. Who, Firefly, Supernatural, and shows like that. Yes, I'm that girl. I also like pattern socks, currently I'm wearing fuschia pink with little white foxes.
If you could trade places with any other person for a week, with whom would it be?
Jane Austen or Josephine March (Little Women by Louise May Alcott) - those women were strong and I love it!
What would you like to learn?
Everything, I never want to stop learning! If we are talking artistically, I'd love to start getting into silversmithing in the next year. If we are talking academically, I plan to be in school for environmental studies and marine biology for the next several years. I always hunger to learn.
What does the future hold for you and your shop?
That's a secret, even to me. I know that new metalworking skills will be something I learn but there is so much I want to accomplish above that. I think that my pretty little things will find their way into more galleries and shops in the area, definitely. The rest of the future, that's a journey I'm out to discover. As for me, I'm working in my own personal life to set out on an environmentally friendly way of life. That will be a lifelong journey and delight of mine.
Please leave a comment on this post telling us what item from Bonita Bellita is your favorite and why you love it.
You have until Monday, November 25 to enter and I will announce the winner here later that day.
In the meantime you can find Bonita Bellita here:

Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo SA headed for the steepest decline in three months after Poland's dominant natural-gas company posted an unexpected second-quarter loss.
The shares dropped as much as 3.4 percent before trading 2.9 percent lower at 4.03 zloty, the most on a closing basis since May 25, as of 10:08 a.m. in Warsaw.
Net loss widened to 314 million zloty ($97 million) from 20 million zloty a year earlier, PGNiG, as the company is known, said on its website today. That compares with the 3.4 million- zloty mean estimate of a profit from eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
"PGNiG has had a truly disappointing quarter," Robert Rethy, a Prague-based analyst at Wood&Co., wrote in a note to clients today. "The source of the miss is entirely the trading segment."
