Last year, this little moth completely devastated most of my Salvia plants. Lady in Red did bloom, but the blooms were fewer and distorted in many cases.
Most affected was, of course, S. 'Black & Blue'. Least affected was S. darcyi. I cannot use BT because I have a butterfly and moth garden. I find little on the Internet except for people who think this is a "cute, pretty little pink moth". A moth caterpillar that eats and shreds your foliage, and consumes the blooms, is not a cute pretty little pink moth. The plants look bad not only due the moth caterpillars feeding, but the frass all over the leaves as well. Does anyone else have problems with this little moth, or know anything about it - such as are they cyclic? Susan |

This moth destroys many of my salvia flowers too. I use Bayer Advance Rose & Flower Insect Killer and it works great. I spray it in the evenings so that the hummingbirds and bees are not exposed to it. It protects the plants for about 30 days or longer. I don't like pesticides but found there isn't much choice against these guys. |

Anygreen, thanks for your response. I may have to resort to that, but it will be my last choice. I raise butterflies and moths (not THIS moth, but Sphinx species), and I don't want to risk it. That leads me to think of the effect it could have on the night-flying sphinx. I may have to stop growing the Salvias most affected. Anyway, thanks so much! Susan |

Once the spray dries your moths, etc. can feed on the flowers with no problems. Are your plants small enough that maybe you could temporarily tent or put bags over the buds that you spray until dry? Out of curiousity, what kind of Salvias are getting attacked? |

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 AMIE!
Facts about AMIE
- Breed: Weimaraner/Pointer Mix
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
AMIE's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
......Stunning beauty!! Amie was deposited in an over night drop box at a rural Ohio dog shelter! Amazing...she'd obviously delivered pups and no pups were found. The shelter kept Amie as long as they could then started getting full & crowded with strays...Dogworks took Amie into rescue. We believe Amie to be a mix of Pointer (German or English?) and Weimaraner. Amie has a gorgeous soft blue gray coat with large patch white on her neck/chest. Natural long tail (not docked). Shelter listed her as 3 yrs the vet guessed 4 years old & 56 lb. She's had some pups in her past. Now spayed and in foster care, Amie is being reported as a wonderful friendly girl. Likes to stay near (typical of breed) needs more work on leash walking, housebroke & willing to please. Ok with other dogs and no real interest in family cats. Will chase if they are running. We are still learning about sweet friendly Amie. Adoption fee includes: Vet exam, spay, vaccine update, heartworm check (neg) & stool check (neg). Started on flea & heartworm prevention. Fee $165 - Email email@example.com or down load an adoption application at www.DogworksOhio.com
Other Pets at Dogworks, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
AMIE, a Toledo Weimaraner/Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Weimaraner/Pointer for sale in Toledo, or seeking a Weimaraner/Pointer dog from a breeder in Toledo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Toledo 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 Toledo 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 Weimaraner/Pointer breeders who help with Weimaraner/Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Toledo paves the way for another one to be saved.

JIMMY a Top Ten Read of 2011
Just a quick little update here to let everyone know that my novel JIMMY made the Top Ten Reads of 2011 list on the Ric's Reviews website. Needless to say I'm really happy and honored to see JIMMY on such a list. I also really enjoyed the review that was posted about JIMMY last fall. Like most authors I sent out several copies of JIMMY to bloggers and websites hoping to gather some feedback. Ric's Reviews was not one of those sites, however, simply because I never had seen it before. Instead I discovered the review one day when doing a Google search to see if anyone was saying anything about the book. Since then it has been a site I check every couple of days, and not only because they enjoyed my book. It is a great site, one that fans of movie and book review sites should visit often.

Introducing Your Baby to the Joys of EatingTips to ease the transition to solid foods Just like you, babies crave a variety of tastes, textures, and colors
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to weaning your child from breast milk or formula: they each approach this big step at different times, and in varying speeds and frequencies. But sometime in that first year of exponential growth your baby will be ready to try some solid sustenance. Here are some tips for fostering a life-long love of good food. Taking Baby beyond the bottle"Start by simply observing your baby for signs of readiness," suggests Deah Baird, a Portland, Oregon-based naturopath. "Have your baby's teeth come in? Does he sit up? Does she bring her hand to her mouth and mimic your eating movements? Does he grab food that family members are eating? In general, does your baby show an interest in eating?" Transitioning to solids too early can contribute to creating food sensitivities, as a baby's GI tract is immature and still forming--hence the need to watch and wait for your baby's cues. Make it interestingJust like you, babies crave a variety of tastes, textures, and colors. When choosing your introductory foods, according to Baird, "start with fruits and vegetables, progress to grains, and, since milk or formula remains the main source of protein for at least 12 to 18 months, begin adding protein toward the middle to the end of the solids progression." Again, this depends on your baby's unique needs, but many babies do well on the following timeline:
Rotate foods to keep them interesting. If your baby takes a liking to string beans, avoid giving them a green bean-only menu for weeks on end. Offer up some raspberries and sweet potatoes or blueberries and squashes. Fix foods that are both delicious and nutritiousHere are some healthful tips for Baby's first meals:
Easy applesauce--Whip up a quick applesauce for baby by peeling, coring, and seeding several apples. Chop into small pieces and place in a saucepan with about an inch of water above the top of the fruit. Let the mixture come to a boil and then turn the heat to simmer. When fruit becomes soft and yields to a fork, remove from stove and let it cool. When amply cooled, use a food mill or strainer to run apple mixture through. You can also blend in a blender to get a smoother sauce. Pay attentionWhen a baby has made it clear she wants to eat, introducing single foods is a good way to start the process. Offer green beans at one meal, and see if your baby enjoys them. Watch for any skin or diaper area reaction. By focusing on single foods, you can more easily zero in on possible food sensitivities or allergens and learn which foods to avoid.
Kathleen Finn is a freelance health writer in Portland, Oregon. Her daughter was slow to embrace the joys of eating, despite the ice-cube trays of homemade baby food that stood at the ready in her mom's freezer. Copyright 2015 Aisle7. All rights reserved. Aisle7.com |

Editors' Choice Art of the Wild Film Review Nature Books for Kids
Essay A Wonder to Behold A new book delves into the remarkable avian world. By Frank Graham Jr.
The Bird: A Natural History of Who Birds Are, Where They Came From, and How They Live By Colin Tudge. Crown Publishers, 432 pages, $30
I was primed to greet Colin Tudge's new book, which is all about birds, with great expectations. His 2006 book, The Tree, I recalled as a supremely satisfying natural history read. (You have to embrace an author who opens by describing his subject as "a big plant with a stick up the middle," and then goes on in diverting prose to conjure up a comprehensive world of leafy green things.) A good reason, for sure, to anticipate excellence.
Well, here is Tudge with The Bird, and he displays much of the same skill evident in The Tree. Most striking is his knack of taking dense scientific material, culled from a host of sources, and doling it out to the reader in a series of laid-back passages. Tudge reveals nearly everything the reader wants to know about "birdness." Going beyond feathers and flying, he defines what it means to be a bird, and helpfully does so in part by contrasting birds with mammals. Birds lay eggs; most mammals bear live young. The manner and effectiveness of communication differs markedly between the two life-forms. Each generally functions with a differing apparatus for sex. But did you know that ducks and ostriches have penises? Birds and mammals, Tudge writes, are "the same, only different."
There's plenty of trivia. I was flummoxed by the news that pigeons can distinguish Monet's paintings from Picasso's. Tudge asks why European robins are so attracted to gardeners, and answers, "Because they think we are pigs. In the wild, robins are woodland birds and they follow wild boars as they dig with their snouts for roots and truffles."
But there's some heavy stuff here, too. Tudge delves into the threats to avian survival in the face of habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. And he traces the evolutionary history of birds, going back to a time when a blur of dinosaurs and their kin, known today only through shattered and eroded fossils, dominated the planet. Some researchers are convinced that birds are descended from dinosaurs; others seek to demonstrate that the difference between the two lineages is profound and that they cannot have had any connection. Tudge lays out both arguments, then throws in his own two cents' worth: "For my part, I continue to like the idea that birds are dinosaurs, but I have discovered, as the decades have passed, that the ideas that I happen to like are not necessarily true." Science, he reminds us, is "a human pursuit, and omniscience is not in our gift."
Tudge scrupulously outlines how much science doesn't yet know about birds and repeatedly insists on the intelligence and emotional lives of his subjects. He illustrates this through his chapters on their sex and family lives, and on the bird mind. "Many birds do seem remarkably stereotyped in what they do, but others very clearly are not. Crows and parrots and chickadees may never be intellectuals in the human sense, but they are clearly very aware, and above all have an acute social sense, which in the end counts most."
Black-capped chickadees, for instance, employ a hierarchical social life—in groups during winter, going off in pairs in spring, with the mates corresponding to the "pecking order" in each group: Top males fancy the top female, and vice versa, all the way down the social strata. Many forest birds nest in isolation, but many seabirds nest in colonies, and usually all of the latter produce their young at the same time, giving any pair's chick a better chance to survive a predator.
One doesn't need advanced degrees to write a book about birds, Tudge argues. "You just have to take an interest and be alert," he writes. "The point of this book is to nudge people who feel in a general way that birds in particular, and nature in general, are kind of interesting to the point where they start to feel the meaning of it all."
If he's targeting the mildly interested, there's a problem. His longest chapter, 93 pages, describes the 31 orders into which scientists place birds. Nine black-and-white illustrations scattered throughout hardly give non-experts an idea of form and color among Tudge's avian cast of characters. It's testimony to his descriptive skills and chatty, allusive style that he partly overcomes the handicap.
"Birds are a wonder to behold," Tudge makes plain. "The more we look at them, the more they tell us about ourselves and the way the world really is."
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity & Hope By William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer William Morrow, 273 pages, $25.99
"In Malawi, the wind was one of the few consistent things given to us by God, blowing in the treetops day and night." With that thought, William Kamkwamba, a Malawian boy from a poor farming family, decides to harness the wind. "A windmill," he writes, "meant more than just power, it was freedom." Freedom from drought and famine, and from government dependency. His family would never go hungry again. He would have enough money to attend school and wouldn't have to teach himself science using American-donated books. Kamkwamba's tale inspires because this boy—14 when he builds his first windmill—creates something powerful in the face of nothingness (his six sisters sleep on grass mats) and overwhelming doubt (the villagers call him crazy). When his invention works, Kamkwamba becomes a hero, suddenly thrust into the international spotlight. Donors and support flood in. As a reader, you breathe a sigh of relief because Kamkwamba's journey feels worth it. The wind empowered him to light his family's home and illuminate for the rest of the world his country's struggle.—Michele Wilson Back to Top
The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America By Douglas Brinkley HarperCollins, 940 pages, $34.99
"No matter what task Roosevelt undertook, he was like a boll weevil eating its way through a bale of cotton," historian Douglas Brinkley writes in Wilderness Warrior, his epic and memorable account of Theodore Roosevelt as a naturalist, conservationist, big game hunter, and man for all seasons. Brinkley places our 26th president, whom he hails as a "conservation visionary," in the pantheon of our greatest presidents, ranking his crusade to save the American wilderness as one of the most important accomplishments between Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and Woodrow Wilson's decision to enter World War I. With the stroke of his mighty pen, Roosevelt saved for "the people unborn," as he phrased it, more than 234 million acres, about the equivalent of the Atlantic Coast states from Maine to Florida. Among the reserves he created was Florida's Pelican Island, where the slaughter by plume hunters for ladies' hats threatened species' very survival and where Roosevelt embraced "the frenetic activity of pelicans, egrets, ibises, and roseate spoonbills" as a "biological hymnal." Brinkley's well-honed, often beautiful prose spans many themes. A central one is Roosevelt's passion for birds throughout his life, from his boyhood as a precocious illustrator to his adulthood as a crackerjack birder. On top of that, Brinkley traces his role as "an ardent Audubonist" and key player in the formation of the National Audubon Society at the turn of last century. "With the exception of his family," the author writes, "birds probably touched him more deeply than anything else in his life."—David Seideman Back to Top
Sexy Orchids Make Lousy Lovers & Other Unusual Relationships By Marty Crump The University of Chicago Press, 214 pages, $25
In this jaunty, jovial, somewhat anthropomorphizing romp, behavioral ecologist Marty Crump catalogs a range of interdependent species behaviors—from the semi-social to the purely ecological—that make up life on earth. Some of the relationships she details—like the pseudoscorpion that mates on the back of a South American giant harlequin beetle—may seem odd, but then again, she infers, it's efficient to get all that loving done in transit. As she roams from one unusual natural history to the next, Crump whizzes past myriad reasons why certain bird species maintain fidelity, "divorce" their partners, or commit adultery; why some animals groom one another; and why different species employ "alloparental care"—or, as she puts it, babysitters. Even animal hygiene becomes fascinating: Wrasses, small brightly colored tropical fish, eat parasites in the mouths of eels and swim out unscathed. Crump's zoology contains housecleaners, groomers, and even marital squabbles. If this all domesticates the natural world, it also makes the human one seem more contiguous with it. Crump leaves us feeling, in our human-yet-animal skin, just a tad stranger.—Tess Taylor Back to Top
Birds in Wood and Paint: American Miniature Bird Carvings and Their Carvers, 1900-1970 By Joseph H. Ellis UPNE, 184 pages, $60
From working decoys to decorative sculpture, carvings of winged wildlife have figured prominently in the lives of bird hunters and bird lovers for more than a century. Woven between stunning images and meticulous descriptions of painted blue-winged teals, white-throated sparrows, and yellowlegs, collector Joseph Ellis tells the story of this creative, if not anatomically precise, art form. He focuses on the post-decoy days, when the whittled works shrank in size while broadening in their fan base, and highlights Elmer Crowell, who led the transition of this handicraft beyond its utilitarian roots. "These pieces can be at once aesthetic marvels of folk art," writes Ellis, "and embodiments of the ornithologist's or hunter's appreciation of the wide and colorful diversity of bird species in the wild." Birds in Wood and Paint differs from Ellis's previous book on stock market forecasting; rather than describing financial models, the retired Goldman Sachs partner's new volume imparts enduring value to avian ones.—Lynne Peeples
Art of the Wild
In a few saline marshes in Lincoln, Nebraska, lives are being lost with little protest. But then, when you're talking about the Salt Creek tiger beetle, an insect the size of a sunflower seed, who really cares? Award-winning nature photographer (and Audubon contributor) Joel Sartore, for one. He lives in Lincoln and has witnessed the town's growth at the expense of some 90 percent of the beetle's habitat. With silvery, exophthalmic eyes, the tiny insect peers out from a blank page in Sartore's latest book, Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species (National Geographic, 160 pages, $24), an elegant depiction of some of the nation's most imperiled organisms. Yes, a few of the more iconic creatures are there, including the polar bear, whose dingy, matted fur evokes the massive animal's struggle to hunt on sea ice that, because of global warming, is shrinking. So, too, is the California condor, hunched like an old man, its wrinkled, featherless face befitting one who has looked death in the eye but isn't yet ready to succumb. But the less familiar beings are just as compelling, served both by their inherent beauty as well as the photographer's clean aesthetic. Against a plain black or white background, species such as Iowa Pleistocene snails—ice age mollusks that live in limestone cracks—stand out in crisp relief. They may seem minute, but they're as important as any charismatic megafauna or flora. Today 1,321 species in the United States and its waters are listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and 250 are under consideration for listing. As contributing author Verlyn Klinkenborg writes in the forward, "We don't know enough about life on Earth to say which species we can afford to live without." Yet Sartore's haunting images suggest an answer: none.—Julie Leibach
Film Review Dirt! The Movie Independent Lens, 60 minutes Airs nationally on PBS on April 20 at 10 p.m. (check local listings) By Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow
Toss the tea leaves; we can read our future in dirt—and the outlook is grimy. The problem is that we've been treating the dark stuff like it's dead. A typical handful of soil, however, likely contains billions of microorganisms working in concert, helping to form a breathing "skin" around the earth that has sustained life for millions of years. Relying on testimonials from the Greenbelt Movement's Wangari Mathaai, physicist-farmer Vandana Shiva, and a number of other scientists and activists, Dirt! reveals how our demand for natural resources has changed that supportive relationship. Among the destructive forces it details: mountaintop removal mining, in which peaks are blasted and leveled for coal; deforestation; and industrial agriculture. Without healthy dirt, it's difficult to survive extreme weather, such as floods and drought. Moreover, a dwindling supply of fertile terrain results in famine and food riots, even war. It's enough to make some viewers want to bury their heads in the sand. But Dirt! ends on an optimistic note, offering examples of creative ways people are attempting to fix this mess. Community supported agriculture, edible landscapes, and green jobs for rehabilitated prisoners are just a few of the promising approaches that are giving dirt its due.—Julie Leibach Back to Top

Accessories and Documentation
The accessories that come with the MaxOrb are shown here. You will find the mounting system to be a little different than what most CPU coolers use. I was concerned about it not working with some motherboards but after checking several, the only problem I found was when using very tall memory modules. Like many other companies, Thermaltake did not send along any extras but none of the pieces are considered very small, so as long as you keep the parts you are not using in a secure location everything should go well.
Even though the documentation is on one oversized sheet, Thermaltake managed to include installation instructions in several different languages while detailing the installation process.

Once inside the store as you pass the grain bins, and large sacks stacked on the floor, you'll meet Joe Bair. Joe's been running Princeton Homebrew for over 15 years (a long time considering home brewing was adopted in New Jersey less than 20 years ago in 1991). Joe is a really great guy, he cares enough about his customers to make sure they find exactly what they need to brew that perfect recipe.
Joe is also well know for his pioneering solar home brewing process and recipes which have been published in Philly Beer Magazine, Brew Your Own Magazine and on many Internet sites as well. Charlie Papazian has recognized Joe as being the world's first modern day solar homebrewer and his solar brewing invention is currently awaiting patent.
Princeton Homebrew is the LHBS for me and Joe is no doubt the most experienced brewer I've ever known. Whether he's teaching how to taste malts for raisin flavors, picking out the perfect ingredients for your great beer recipes or giving a short history lesson or two on the history of brewing, Joe Bair is the man you want to know!
Joe can be contacted by calling Princeton Homebrew at (609) 393-9399 or just stop by and tell him Screwy sent you.

I think the big downfall is that a lot of people don't do trades to build their personal collections. From my experiences traders that involve sell value get the cards to sell. They aren't looking to keep the cards. For some this hobby isn't a hobby and more of a way to make money When I trade I look to build my pc so I dont worry about sell value. With that being said I have began to understand why someone wouldnt want to trade a 100 dollar Jordan for a 100 dollar say kg card when the values of sales would be very lopsided.

About dreammachines1968's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
i love muscle cars , all types , but am passionate about my pontiacs ! i love all firebirds and trans am cars from 1967 to 1981 , i own about 25 of them , some are parts cars but the rest are great drivers , i love to build them and sell them , but my full time job gets in the way alot , but when i have time , you will find me in my shop working on them !
My first car
my first car was a 1969 chevy swb 3 on the tree pickup truck that my mom gave me when i was 8 , i used it on the farm outside of amarillo tx to check cows feed horses and service well motors , my mom died a month before my 10th birthday and through family greed i lost my truck and everything else that i cared for .
Car I wish I still had
when i turned 14 i was working for a man in dumas texas who was a brick layer , i would meet him at his house at 6:00 for work everyday , one day when i showed up he told me we weren't working because he had to go pick up his car that had broke down the night before , so i asked to go with him to help . when we got to the car , (i had never seen it before this morning as he kept it in the locked garage ) well my heart lept! he had cursed this car all the way to it , the car had left him stranded several times and he had already said he was getting rid of it whenever he got it running again , the car was a 1967 convertable firebird 400 , solar red with white interior , a really clean and sharp car ! well we loaded the car and on the way back home , i asked if he would sell me the car , by the time we made it back to dumas we had come to an agreement , $1000.00 and it was mine , i had saved my money so i just happened to have the cash , i told him that i would fix the car myself ! after pittling on it for 3 days i discovered what had put him to walking several times a wire to the starter was loose so it would start sometimes and others it would not , i kept the car for a few years and my brother and i joined the gaurd together , when we got back from basic i had to go to dallas to work on some apts on buckner blvd , so i left the car in my brothers care , when i got home to my horror , my brother had traded it for a piece of junk gmc truck to work out of , times were hard for the both of us and we were just trying to make it , but i miss that car to this day it was the sweetest car i have ever owned !
My dream car
i have to say the 1967 firebird 400 convertable is still my dream car to this day , i have a 1968 solar red with white interior , but it is just not the same , and finding what want at an affordable price will probably never happen , so i guess i will just keep on dreaming !
Car clubs I'm in
i am not in a car club , but i do have alot of car guy friends , that get together from time to time for a day cruise

Hi all,
I think I've got a problem or a start of a problem with my 1.8 mk2.5 focus tdci.
When I put the engine under load, I'm getting more black smoke than usual, not excessive amounts but it's noticeable.
I haven't had any problems with lack of power, everything seems fine in that department but I have got a drop in mpg.
I've usually always got between 45-48mpg on average over a tank yet the last few tanks I've been getting under 40mpg even though I'm now driving more conservative due to the arrival of my baby daughter 3 weeks ago.
The car is an '08 plate 1.8tdci focus zetec mk 2.5 and has done about 48k miles.
Any ideas what could be causing the increase in smoke/drop in fuel efficiency?
Any help is appreciated

Listed building Insurance.
Check your insurance if you own a listed building.
Listed building owners are being warned to ensure that their homes are adequately protected as the recession continues and people make financial cutbacks.
The warning comes from large rural insurer, NFU Mutual. It says 4 out of 10 people are cutting back on their spending on financial items such as insurance.
NFU Mutual spokesperson Nicola Sach says, "Our primary concern is that people may find themselves underinsured. Owners of listed buildings should check that the sum insured on their home would cover the cost of rebuilding the property using the appropriate materials and craftsmanship. They may find that they need to cover substantial costs should any damage occur if the appropriate level of cover is not in place."
NFU Mutual provides a listed building scheme and has found in the past most customers who take up the service are initially underinsured - some by a significant amount.
"With listed properties usually costing substantially more to rebuild than non-listed homes we are urging people to make sure that they take the appropriate steps to ensure that should a loss occur they will be fully covered".
NFU Mutual has put together some top tips for listed property owners
Make sure that you get a valuation from a specialist company. Should you ever need to make a claim this will help to ensure that you are adequately covered. This process should be repeated every 3 to 5 years.
Check your level of reinstatement cover against your valuation. English Heritage can insist that you use like for like methods and materials to rebuild your property which can be more expensive that the modern equivalent.
Consult a risk management specialist to help ensure that your house is as secure as it can be without compromising or damaging any historic features.
Old and listed buildings can be susceptible to burst pipes. To prevent large costs should this happen make sure that your insurance policy will cover you.
If you are thinking of purchasing a listed property, make sure that you check that any alterations that have been made to the building have been approved. You could find yourself liable for the costs of returning the property to its original state if these alterations are found to be detrimental to the fabric of the building.
If your home is thatched you should ensure that even small repairs to the roof are carried out by a professional thatcher.

i might guess mulberry on the first ...with the only leaf i can see the second.. its a weed ...... i would not encourage a mulberry if in fact.. that is what it is ... mine is going on 45 feet tall ... ken |
Ficus for the first. |
ken_adrian = i might guess mulberry on the first saltcedar = Ficus for the first. Any confirmation on which one is it? |
Ficus imo. Break off or slightly tear a leaf and it should ooze thick white sap. |
- Posted by salviabelle (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 10:05
I vote Ficus. Sap oozing is a good idea to confirm. |

OMG ... i dabble in this game .. never take my answer over the salty ones answer ... i now say ... based on my experience.. its ficus... lol .. and my experience is that salty is rarely .. if ever.. wrong.. lol .. ken |
I did as you suggested and got the white sap. The closest looking ficus leaf I could find was the ficus carica. Do you think that could be the one? Here is a better leaves picture. ken_adrian, what can I say... I highly respect saltcedar opinions, but in the other hand, I highly respect yours too. Thank you, guys! |
Ficus carica is the common edible fig and is the most likely candidate for a self sown plant. |
don't feel too badly ken, I too thought it was a mulberry. Based on the fact you and I have/had them, maybe, our view is tainted. I actually love it, so I am kidding. It's a great tree to have if you don't mind the mess the birds make, but obviously, it's a bird attracter (the part I like). ;) |

Orta San Giulio
Italy 28016
Tel: 39 0322 911 977
Concierge.com's insider take:
Everyone needs a break from Italian food once in a while, and the international cuisine at the San Rocco fits the bill. Start with the smoked Scottish salmon or "Paris style" escargots before moving on to veal filets drizzled with white truffle sauce and gnocchi with walnuts and Gorgonzola (in Italy, even pointedly multicultural menus pay homage to regional specialties). If you can handle it, the hazelnut parfait with Gianduia chocolate sauce makes a fine finish. The restaurant, with picture-window views of the lake and its island, shares its 17th-century convent and quiet stone cloisters with the four-star, 85-room Hotel San Rocco. Worn modular furnishings and a decor focused on pinks and peaches make the rooms look a bit outdated, but the external scenery is the draw here—splurge on a room with a lake view and be sure to request air conditioning if you're traveling in summer.
Open daily 12:30 to 2 pm and 7:30 to 10 pm.

Nautel Modernizes Maine Manufacturing Facility
Bangor, ME - Dec 14, 2012 - Nautel held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to launch an extensive upgrade to the company's manufacturing facility in Bangor, ME. Updates to the facility include a new Trumpf TruPunch 3000 metal punch and a new 90-ton, eight-axis press brake.
"This plant has been in steady operation since it opened in 1975," said Nautel Director of Customer Service Kevin Rodgers, who is also one of Nautel's owners. "Over that time it has produced a large volume of transmitters for the US and international markets. Our ISO certified Bangor facility builds products of the highest quality."
Products made in Bangor include XR, NV and J1000 broadcast transmitters, navigational beacons and NOAA Weather Radio transmitters. Plant manager Charlie Drillen reports that the Bangor plant is also building the NX25 and NX50 AM.
"The Bangor facility provides a significant portion of Nautel's overall manufacturing," said Peter Conlon, Nautel president and CEO. "Our transmitters are all known for their redundancy, which ensures steady operation in a broadcast facility. With two manufacturing facilities in North America, Nautel also has redundancy in manufacturing, which ensures steady production and repair capabilities even in the event of a natural disaster or other event shutting down a plant."

Everything still looks wonderful, but you can see that the garden is slipping into fall though. How nice that you've had such a long bloom from your vitex. What are the white flowers in front of the vitex? I especially like Reed's little garden - its just the perfect size and its got lots of interest. Funny I always thought monkshood was a fall bloomer, but the only one I have bloomed months ago. Then again my 'Fireworks' is just getting started. Michelle |

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Availability, boot options, supported architectures
Sabayon is usually distributed into multiple editions, with the GNOME, KDE, Xfce and Openbox desktop environments. It provides users with a new release each month and it's compatible only with the 64-bit hardware platform.
The SpinBase edition is available for download as two Live CD ISO-hybrid images, which can be written to USB flash drives using either GNOME Disks or UNetbootin, as well as burned onto CD discs using any CD/DVD burning software.
From the boot menu, you can start the live environment with default options or without boot splash (verbose mode), install the operating system to a local disk drive, check the disk for defects (only if using a CD media), boot an existing OS installed on the first disk, as well as to use the console, debug and safe modes.

There is an interesting mix of cuteness and sophistication in the Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2012 collection. While the cuts and pieces seen throughout the line are incredibly dapper—for both men and women—there are some interesting prints knitted into a number of sweaters. These images include puppies and owls. It seems that even this upscale fashion house is set on embracing some hipster fads next year.
A contemporary approach to what could be considered stuffy British fashion, the Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2012 collection is anything but. With a 60s and 70s appeal, there is more of a sense of playfulness in each look despite how straight-laced the line appears at first and even second glance. The beauty about this collection is its subtlety.

NHL hockey made its return to Winnipeg on Tuesday night as a bunch of scrubs and a few decent talents lined up against each other in the form of the Columbus Blue Jackets vs. the Jets in a split squad contest. The new Jets beat up on the Blue Jackets by a final of 5-1. We've got a photo gallery up at theScore.com as well as a bundle of highlights.
Chants of "Go Jets Go" rained down all evening, and team captain Andrew Ladd even likened the atmosphere to that of a Stanley Cup Final game. Enjoy it Winnipeg, because it won't feel quite as nice come mid-January when your Jets are dragging ass at home after finishing up an east coast road swing with just a day off in between. Relocation ain't easy, and it was just four months ago when this team was the Thrashers.
Anyway, here's that atmosphere everyone's talking about.

Flipped by Olivia Brynn
I'm happy to welcome Olivia Brynn to my blog for a fun filled interview with Mario, a character from Olivia's new release, FLIPPED. Happy to have you Olivia. – Trina
OB – Hey, thanks for having us over, Trina. This is Mario Gutierrez. He drove me over here today, and I thought we were going to die.
MG – What do you expect? My first name is Mario!
OB – Whatever. I should have named you Harold or something. But you were a Mario as soon as you opened your mouth.
MG – Thank God for that. Hey, pass me that lemonade.
I hand him a glass of lemonade, and he adds two scoops of sugar. I see Trina smothering a laugh.
OB – That's disgusting.
MG – You don't want to see my sour face. Got any cookies?
OB – We're not here to eat Trina out of her house. We wanted to catch up with you. I hear you and Carter have this thing…
MG – You hear that, huh?
Mario rolls his eyes and mumbles something about psychotic authors under his breath.
OB – Okay, smartass. So I'm aware of what went down at that house you're flipping. I was just being discreet, you know. Not everyone has read the book.
MG – Yeah, well you're right. Carter and I have this thing. You know, we've been friends for years, we've lived with each other for years, and I swear I never looked at him any way but platonic in all that time.
OB – So what happened? You guys went out for a drink, and all of a sudden he's desirable to you?
MG – Well, yeah kinda. I mean, maybe there was more than alcohol in that drink. Or maybe I was just not thinking straight—
OB – Oh that's rich.
MG – Shut it. Now where was I? Oh yeah, the drink. I'd only had one. Two maybe, but not enough to give me beer goggles.
OB – You had a beer?
MG – Oh hell, no. Carter drinks that shit. I had a screaming orgasm.
OB – Trina, what's this blog rated? Can he say that?
MG – It's just a drink! I'll make you ladies one.
OB – That's okay. Really. Tell me about the house you're flipping.
Mario settles back in his chair and stirs his lemonade.
MG – It's coming along. We just finished the den. You know how I hate drywall work.
OB – Oh that's right. You're a construction foreman, so you're used to ordering other guys around, you don't have to do the dirty work.
MG – Yeah! See? You get it. Explain that to Carter, would ya?
OB – Just finish the project so you two can relax.
MG – Yeah. Carter is painting the trim, and I'd hate to see how that turns out.
The faraway look in his eye tells me he isn't imagining Carter with a paint brush. It takes me three attempts to pull him out of his daydream.
OB – Mario! Do you need to go?
MG – Well maybe I should. You know, supervise what Carter's…uh…working on.
OB – Sure. Blame your pickiness. We all know you're just anxious to get home. Go on then, I'll catch a ride with Trina later.
Mario's grin is both boyish and explicitly naughty at the same time.
MG – Thanks, ladies.
Trina and I watch him run to his car and peel out like the Andretti we all know. We shake our heads.
OB – So, what do you think, should we look up the Screaming Orgasm recipe?
Now it's your turn! Ask Mario any question. He'll be by to answer in the comments. All commenters will be eligible for a drawing to win a digital copy of Flipped (or any one of Olivia's backlist). Winner will be drawn tomorrow and posted right here.
For more about Flipped, check out Olivia's Website.

It seems you have a bit of a sweet tooth, Mario, even if you are a bit prickly and alcohol gives you all sorts of interesting thoughts. How would you describe Carter? Or better yet, how would he describe you?
Hi Mario!
My question is what do you love most about Carter???
Andie -
andieleah78, congrats! You were randomly chosen to receive a copy of Flipped, or any one of my other backlist titles. I'll email you right away.
Thanks Andie and Sasha for visiting, and thanks to Trina for having me!

AU musical production Barnum to be featured at regional theatre festivalPublic invited to special rehearsal Feb. 4
Anderson University's production of Barnum has been selected to be showcased at the Region IV Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) Feb. 6, 2013 in Albany, Georgia.Under the direction of College of Visual and Performing Arts Theatre Chair Dr. Deborah McEniry, the show featured circus tricks, walking a tight rope and a simulated elephant during its run in the fall of 2012. Only five collegiate productions in the region were honored with an invitation to the festival.To prepare for the event, the AU cast will perform Barnum in a dress rehearsal that's free and open to the public. The rehearsal at the Henderson Auditorium of the Rainey Fine Arts Center starts at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 4.This year marks the first that an AU production has been selected for performance in one of the seven regional festivals nationally. Region IV includes schools in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and southern Virginia.Barnum, by Mark Bramble, Cy Coleman (music), and Michael Stewart (lyrics), along with contributions from Tams-Witmark Music Library, is a musical based on the life of P.T. Barnum, the nineteenth century entertainer who brought the world the Barnum and Bailey Circus.AU's cast of about 40 students included Irene Ryan award nominees Peter Crawford (Barnum), Sara Jane Fawcett (Charity Barnum), and Josh Taylor (the Ringmaster). The Irene Ryan competition, which will take place at the festival, recognizes collegiate theatre students who display exceptional talent. The performance of Barnum at the regional festival will be slightly pared down from the original fall production but will still boast a cast of nearly 30 actors, singers and dancers.Dr. McEniry, in her sixth year at Anderson University, directs the musical theatre productions at AU. She received her M.A. in vocal performance/musical theatre concentration and her Ph.D. in educational theatre from New York University. Dr. McEniry is a veteran director, actress, and vocalist and has taught theatre courses and directed theatre productions in the U.S. as well as in Germany.Cara Wood, the design member of AU's theatre faculty, was responsible for the lighting design and oversaw the set construction. The show was choreographed by Terrie West Poore, who heads the dance program at AU. Dr. Howard Kim, professor of piano, was the musical director and Dr. Tommy Watson and Rebecca Yates, both members of the AU music faculty, were the vocal coaches for Barnum. Dalton Cole, shop foreman, constructed the set with the help of theatre students, and Amber Ensley, a senior theatre student, was assistant director for the show.Started in 1969, the Kennedy Center American College Theater (KCACTF) is a national theatre program involving 18,000 students, which has helped improve the quality of collegiate theater in the U.S. The KCACTF has grown into a network of more than 600 colleges and universities throughout the country, where theater departments and student artists showcase their work and receive outside assessment.Every January and February, regional festivals showcase the best of each region's submitted productions and offer activities, including workshops, symposia, and regional-level award programs. Regional festival productions are judged by a panel of three judges selected by the Kennedy Center and the KCACTF national committee.For more information about the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival visit http://www.kcactf.org/.
