I have a rhododnedron in my yard that is appox 30' x 15'. Any advise as to what I should do with it? I like it, but it's sort of out of control. Thanks! |

The photo suggests this is more than a single rhododendron. Doesn't make much difference, though. I'd say just continue to enjoy what you have. It would certainly be possible, however, to prune back from the edges toward the center or from the top down if you feel the need. |
Where is it 'out of control'? I think it looks just fine. Doesn't seem to be bothering anything. Mike |

It's been awhile since I last visited. As with my friends from Maine and Seattle, don't do a blessed thing with this. It's not near the house, and its sited where it's supposed to be. It's spectacular, foilage wise. |

My husband always says (I'm paraphrasing a bit) that there's nothing so good and so underrated as a well-cooked piece of chicken. He said it when he had Jenn Louis's fried half chicken at Lincoln last summer. He said it when he made a great pan-seared chicken earlier this month. And much to my happiness, he said it again yesterday.
This meal was never originally intended to become a blog post- it's pretty simple, but it just turned out to be so good. And I have to thank Dave for giving me the [figurative!] kick in the pants to actually shoot this one. Sometimes I feel bad about making him wait for dinner, and usually his response is to tell me to go shoot it, already. There is no bigger supporter of this whole blog thing than my husband.
I guess you could call this a Greek-leaning dinner (I mean, it's just chicken!). More importantly, it's a healthy and delicious dinner.
The best part about it is how great the Panko crust turned out to be – its golden and inviting and a great texture. It's also just a nice degree of saltiness – it was my favorite part of the meal.
Here's what you need for two dinners:
- one large chicken breast
- about a cup of Panko breadcrumbs
- salt, pepper, and a few shakes of your favorite dried herbs
- olive oil
- 1 cup Israeli couscous
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2-3 Tbsp. feta
- 1-2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- squeeze of lemon juice
- a few chopped fresh herbs
Preheat the oven to 375.
Start by heating a few tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet on medium high. In a plate, use your fingers to toss the breadcrumbs with healthy doses of salt, pepper and dried herbs. Dredge the chicken breast in the breadcrumbs (as thickly as you can) and add to the pan when the oil is hot.
Cook the chicken about five minutes on the first side, or until the crust is nice and golden-brown. Flip and continue to cook until the other side is nicely browned as well, and then wrap the chicken in foil and finish in the oven. This will take 15 minutes or more – just cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Start the couscous while the chicken is cooking. Bring the broth to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the couscous and bring back to a simmer, then turn the heat to low and cover, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid is absorbed.
Finally, in a small bowl, combine the EVOO, lemon juice and feta. Use a fork to smoosh the feta and create a thick paste-like dressing or sauce. Stir in any chopped herbs you like, such as chives, oregano, basil, parsley or even mint. Or a mix.
Divide the couscous between plates. Slice the chicken into cutlets and also divide – it will make two good-sized servings. Spoon the feta dressing on top. I like to add a side salad, but you don't need to by any means.

right now just before sunrise we're at 41. Should get warmer any minute. I'm more concerned about tonight, they say it might get a bit colder. Just to be safe I'm again covering the smaller plants and a few larger ones. |

28 in my Lake Helen Garden this morning. |
At 4:30 am we were at 45. At 6 am, 43. At 7 am, 41. At 8 am, 44. The wind-chill would lower these temps. Back home in Alaska....these temps used to make me happy. lol. |

When I got up it was 42 at 5 now at almost 9 it's 42 but the lowest it got was 40. The wind kept the frost away but it's cold! I use WeatherBug in Jensen. Too Dang cold for me! Bamboo, I thought Blueberries were cold tolerant? Must be the highbreads that don't like the freeze and frost? I had some wild ones up in N. Ga. and it gets alot colder up there. |

Low was 31.9 F for 10 minutes. :) Carol in Jacksonville |
I think it was around 40 in Sarasota. I planted 3 Plumies last week and was worried about them. I threw plastic bags over them last night, but took them off first thing this morning. Brought some of my orchids in the house. Everything looks okay. Tonight is supposed to be colder. Jane |

Stuartwanda, The Blueberries are very cold tolerant when dormant but as the bloom happens that cold tolerance falls. 2 minutes at 27 degrees does massive damage. At 28 they are fine. The problem is frost and I was worried if the wind stopped the frost could settle. Tonight I will turn the overhead sprinklers on at 1am and hope for the best. |
22 here. Really windy yesterday. I can't get warmed up! REady for summer! Bring it on, God! Soon please!! My blueberries get frost and it never bothered them~~ |
32 in altoona. If it's going to go below 30 tonight then a lot will be lost. |
Made it fine this morning which I had counted on...BUT tonight is a different story...Freeze warning tonight...hoping I can get lucky one more time... Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!! |

Lowest I saw was 41 in St Pete, I'm about 3-4 blocks from Tampa Bay. |
Sat night was cold, got down to 40 here but no damage to my two tender young mango trees. The four big ones are tough, plus were strung with C-9 Xmass tree lights. But last night it got down to 36 deg at 7 AM this morning with a small wind chill. I found a spare set of bulbs for the tiny Tebow mango I just planted out back, borrowed an extension cord, so he was OK. The newer Maha Chinook in a huge clay pot, had to get my neighbor to help load it onto my wheelbarrow ( heavvvvy ), and lug it into my shed. No heat but no wind either. All survived by the whiskers on their chinny-chin-chins. Took down all the lights and can finally breath a sigh of relief,..for another 10 months anyway ! ( smile ) However, as the Pine Island Nursery reminds me, sometimes mango damage does not show up for a day or two. So will breath the ultimate sigh of relief on Wednesday morning. ( smile ) |

Great to hear Jofus...I sure hope this is the end of it... I still have about 2 weeks or so of "possible" cold. I'll breathe a lot easier by the first week or so of March **sigh** I was colder than you this morning. Hit 32 degrees for about an hour and a half...but off and on it didn't stay that way the whole time...Whew!! Dodge another bullet. I brought in my Maha too the last 2 nights...didn't want to take a chance. |
My front porch thermometer reading this morn. at 7 AM was 41, I'm across the street from the bayou so imagine it was colder inland..quite often it will be 5-8 degrees colder in Pinellas Park or central Pinellas with frost......I brought most of the orchids in yesterday also the Desert Roses, and this morning I ran the sprinklers for the rest of the garden.... I think I read somewhere that the last frost-date for Fla. Central area is Feb. 28....so don't count on no more cold, we have even had some into March...however, sure is a lot better than Canada! sally |

45 degrees Monday morning around my house close to the south end of St. Petersburg. So far, so good. Saldut is right ... 4 - 5 miles up the road and more toward the central part of the county, it was several degrees colder. |
- Posted by stpete_mango none (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 20:08
Sorry, the zone is 10a, not 10b. |
I'm surrounded by water here on the barrier island south of Daytona. Saturday's low was 39. Sunday's low was 37, and Monday's low was 54. Glad to see it! Even the coleus were untouched! I do still consider my location 9a even though I'm in a warm mini-local. I go up Atlantic Ave. 2 mi. and they are 3-5 degrees colder. |

Help! Need names of songs SUNG with MICKEY MOUSE as the lead please!
My neice wants for Christmas a CD with songs sung by or Mickey Mouse as the lead. I didn't have any luck for any such CDs so I probably will make my own by downloading from iTunes. I didn't have much luck searching for individual songs either. I would appreciate anyone's help! Thanks!
As far as I know there aren't any songs with Mickey singing as lead. At least none available on CD. Kids sing along may be an exception. I know Goofy has a few songs but I don't believe any of the Fab Five have recorded songs available.
Let me take a look
Sure - there are lots of recordings of Mickey songs.
I think 2 years ago, the Disney Store had a holiday CD "Share the Magic" with the Fab 5 & Pooh singing about 1/2 the songs. Mickey was lead on at least Rudolph. Walt Disney Records has put out many Christmas CDs featuring the characters. "Christmas at Home" from 2001 featured Mickey singing "Deck the Halls". They also had at least 2 volumes of "Christmas Favorites" with Disney version of holiday classics. They used to have a regular feature on the early Disney Channel called DTV that were Disney versions of MTV-like videos. I believe some of them may have featured characters singing as well as the Disney sing-along tapes and videos. If you do a youtube search, you may want to look for "DTV", Mickey, and maybe Wayne Allwyne (not sure about the spelling) - as he was the voice of Mickey for recent decades. Are you specifically looking for Holiday music, or anything Mickey sings? Kathy |
Thank you for the responses so far! Those are all good suggestions that I'll have to look into, especially the YouTube lead. I am looking for ANYTHING sung by Mickey! Thanks again for your taking your time to help me.
My childhood favorites!
Mickey Mouse, Disco! http://www.amazon.com/Mickey-Mouse-D...mouse+disco+CD Rock Around the Mouse http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Around-Mo...d+the+Mouse+CD Mickey Unwrapped http://www.amazon.com/Mickey-Unrappe...y+Unwrapped+CD The first two were originally released as records, then later re-released on CD. sailorstitch |
Thank you again everyone for your suggestions. I used a compilation of them and ones I found searching on my own and made the perfect CD for Christmas for my niece. She loves it and listens to it every day! Thanks for your time helping.

Recent improvements to the Maryland Wholesale Produce Market are helping distributors remain competitive and in compliance with food safety rules.
The market's manager has also received recognition for her management of the facility.
The Maryland Wholesale Produce Market recently had the original dock canopies replaced.The Maryland Food Center Authority, which owns and operates the Jessup, Md.-based produce market and the Maryland Wholesale Seafood Market, recently replaced the produce terminal's original dock canopies.
The project involved cleaning, sandblasting and repainting the dock canopy structures and roofs of the two market buildings.
The $1.2 million project was being finished in early June and was conducted while wholesalers continued business with the construction only necessitating small operational modifications, said Rose Harrell, the authority's director of facilities.
In addition to the canopy replacement project, dock doors and door frames were upgraded, she said.
Over the summer, the market plans to upgrade both building's rear docks through repainting and other work.
As there is less infrastructure in the back of the buildings, the project isn't expected to be as involved as the main dock areas, Harrell said.
The improvements follow replacement of both buildings' roofs last year.
During the construction, tenants Edward G. Rahll & Sons Inc., Sudanos Produce LLC, and the Tony Vitrano Co., were undergoing final auditing for Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point and Food Safety Modernization Act certification, Harrell said.
Coosemans D.C. Inc., had earlier completed most of the certifications it needed but because of the imports and other activities, needed additional certification, she said.
"Appearance means a lot and obviously, it's critical to maintain the structure of the building, get it cleaned and keep it looking good," Harrell said. "While the tenants are responsible for the interior, this has been some of the big effort projects we've been doing. This is all part of our big plan to raise the standards of the market a couple of levels."
Harrell is responsible for the development and supervision of the authority's three properties and the agency is designing a truck washing and fuel depot for exclusive use of produce and seafood market tenants.
On a parcel of land behind the seafood market, the authority is also planning to construct a commercial kitchen and a farmers market.
Plans are being developed for the facilities, but Harrell said the 70,000-square-foot kitchen is being designed to host culinary education and promote local foods.

@croydon - I have heard of people suing and being compensated when there is a miscarriage of justice though and I can imagine someone doing that if they are held in prison for a long time waiting for the conviction date.
Particularly if someone else is actually found to be guilty of the crime, so it's obvious that they really didn't do it.
I don't know how often it happens though. I think that for the most part they move the trial dates through fairly quickly, if only because they don't have enough room in the jails for all the people who would be waiting for them.

To preface, our LHBC is having an all extract competition in April and i've been planning what to brew for this. I've found the Sculpin habanero recipe and that's what i'd intended to make. Then, this past weekend, I went to our local weekly bottle share. The brew pub where we hang out and sample beers has an employee that loves hot peppers and anything spicy. He brought in some sweet vinegar relish he made with Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers, which currently holds the record for the world's hottest pepper. This pepper is typically anywhere from 2 million to 3 million scoville units (but can be as weak as 1.5 million). In comparison, the typical market habanero is 350,000 scoville units at the hottest. Jalapeno's range anywhere from 3,500 to 8,000 scoville units. Here's the kicker. I ate some of the relish, and the trinidad pepper was absolutely delicious. It had amazing fresh fruit and floral flavor that I hadn't really encountered in a dried pepper before. It's a deceiving little devil, too, as you don't feel the heat immediately. It takes 2-3 minutes before it really kicks in, and then the burn hits you all over. Very hot, with legs on it that last about an hour. It will make you sweat. So, while contemplating the heat and how amazing the taste was from the pepper, the guy that brought the peppers whips out a gallon sized ziplock full of the dried Moruga's he's grown from seed. He brought them in to trade for some ghost peppers from another guy, but I was able to talk him out of three dried peppers for brewing purposes. The recipe for the habanero IPA calls for 1.5 to 2.5 grams of habanero per gallon depending on desired heat. I've decided to use 1 gram of Scorpion pepper per gallon for my first attempt, so 6 grams for a 6 gallon batch. I will de-seed and de-vein the pepper before chopping/crushing it up and putting it in a hops bag, then soak it in the bag in no rinse sanitizer (idophor) before putting it in the fermenter for five days. It's either going to be amazing or so fiery, it's undrinkable. I can't wait to find out!
Yes, You are insane. I made a habanero ale and it was truly so spicy, even pepper heads could only sip it while eating something.
How much habanero did you use, for how long, and what was the batch size?
5 habs in secondary for 2 weeks.
you are going to have to do it by trial and error, but like its done with every other spice or flavor extract (at least if you are serious about it, looking to enter in competitions, etc.). I think the "ol' dump and pray" or "how much did you use?" methods is just not going to work here with peppers that hot. You are talking a very, very narrow window of palatability here. My 0.02
Well, there's enough time to do some testing. I may scale the pepper to a 12 oz amount and add it to a bud light and re cap it for 5 days to see how it heats up.
By my maths: 1 gr per gallon 1 gallon = 128 FL oz 128 FL oz / 12 oz = 10.5 oz in 1 gal (rounded) 1 gr / 10.5 = 0.095 gr or 95 mg per 12 oz Can someone confirm? I may just doctor a six pack of bud light at 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100mg, 125 mg and 150 mg and let them sit a week and see how hot they get.
Do it right. Brew the beer (I would not recommend an IPA if you want the focus on tasting the peppers) as you would any other recipe. Ferment completely. Rack the beer onto 5 or 6 one gallon jugs, each with a slightly larger amount of peppers than the previous. Take extra care to maintain a sterile environment. Divide peppers accordingly and soak each in vodka (just enough to cover) for a couple days prior to racking. Pour the entire mixture in the fermenters. Don't ferment with the peppers. No reason to do so and you will lose any delicate aroma (if there is such thing with these peppers). Bottle after another week or two. Keep us updated.
Make a tincture with 3-4 cut up peppers in a cup of vodka. Let soak for a week and strain into eye dropper bottles. Take a commercial beer and add drop(s) until you get the flavor/heat you want. Make the homebrew recipe, and at bottling time, add the number of drop(s) in a few different incriments to several bottles (conditioning will likely produce slightly different results). Now you'll have a bunch of different bottles with a bunch of different heat levels and you can decide what you like best.
AZ, I think I like your method the best. I can use a bottle of real sculpin to try this on.

Series of periodic money payments made to a person who retires from employment because of age, disability, or the completion of an agreed span of service. The payments generally continue for the rest of the recipient's natural life, and they are sometimes extended to a widow or other survivor. Military pensions have existed for many centuries; private pension plans originated in Europe in the 19th century. There are two basic types of pension plans: defined contribution and defined benefit. A defined contribution plan invests a defined amount each pay period. The individual may have some discretion as to how the money is invested. The benefit, the amount of the pension, depends on the success of those investments. A defined benefit plan pays a known amount according to some formula, but the amount invested in the fund may vary. Pensions may be funded by making payments into a pension trust fund or by the purchase of annuities from insurance companies. In plans known as multiemployer plans, various employers contribute to one central trust fund administered by a joint board of trustees.

Safety of Public Transportation: Poor
Urban Road Conditions/Maintenance: Fair to Poor
Rural Road Conditions/Maintenance: Poor
Availability of Roadside Assistance: Poor to Nonexistent
Equatorial Guinea�s road network, both paved and unpaved, is underdeveloped and unsafe. During the rainy season, many roads are passable only with four-wheel-drive vehicles. There are few road and traffic signs. Livestock and pedestrians create constant road hazards.
CURRENCY RESTRICTIONS: The Government of Equatorial Guinea has established stringent currency restrictions, applied upon arrival and departure from the country. Visitors bearing tourist passports must declare any currency in excess of 50,000 CFA (currently, approximately $85) upon arrival. Although this requirement is not clearly posted, travelers who fail to declare their excess currency risk forfeiture of any amount over 50,000 CFA upon departure. Further, credit cards and checks are rarely accepted. Cash in local currency is usually the only form of payment accepted throughout the country. Credit card cash advances are not available, and most banks do not cash personal or Traveler�s checks.
PHOTOGRAPHY RESTRICTIONS: Special permits may be needed for some types of photography. Police or security officials may charge a fine, attempt to take the person into custody or seize the camera and film of persons photographing the Presidential Palace and its environs, military installations, airports, harbors and other areas.

I just got one. I know nothing about camellias. I checked the Camellia forum for general care information, but since I'll be growing it in a container and overwintering indoors, I thought I'd check in here for advice on how not to kill it. I know I can get it through the summer, I think; it's the winter I'm especially concerned with.
(Not related to my question, but I also just got a kaffir lime and a bergamot orange. I'm very excited about them. They sent gorgeous, healthy plants! Reporting in a week or so, once they've adjusted from shipping.) |

Is the supply pipe hidden in a Toto Vespin toilet
I just looked at the installation diagram, and it seems like the supply line might be hidden under the skirt when the toilet is installed. Is that right? I've never installed a toilet, and I never will -- I'm just the shopper |
Here is a link that might be useful: Install guide
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think you are reading it right. If you look at the diagram in the bottom-right corner of pg. 1, I think that small black dot is the supply line rough-in position. I think they want it 8" to 10" from the centerline of the toilet. The diagram on pg. 3 makes it look like it attaches to the bottom of the tank in the standard way. |
I see, yes, too good to be true. Somebody's gonna come up with such a thing right after I buy a new toilet. |
jamies- You want to have ready access to the water supply valve, and you want to be able to readily see any leaking that might occur at any time at the supply fittings; you wouldn't have that with a concealed supply line. If you had ever installed a toilet -- a rather easy project -- you would also quickly see how concealment would complicate the design of the toilet with regard to how you actually hook up the supply to the toilet when installing it: an external supply hookup is simple, but a concealed hookup could be a challenge in terms of getting it right. Finally, in the specific toilet you are looking at, the "skirt" is the fixed, porcelain base, which is an integral part of the toilet. Concealing the supply would mean uninstalling the toilet when you needed to turnoff the water supply valve. Looking at the link to the guide you provided, it looks like a totally standard installation with the indicated location of the supply stub well to the side. |
Step 6 shows a standard setup for water supply line connection. I believe the 'hidden' connection you are seeing is actually the anchor bolt/nut that secures the stool to the floor (one on each side). |

I have less than 33 inches of clearance. I need suggestions for dishwashers under 33" high and AJ Madison listed a Blomberg as being ADA compliant.. Usually the ADA ones work. We are replacing a less than 2 year old GE that has leaked into my basement 3 times and I cannot risk the damage again. We have young kids and plastic stuff so nervous about buying something Europeon because of the lack of heat. I loved the 1995 Maytag I had before the GE. I always used heat to dry and never used rinse aid. I am trying not to spend too much (under 900! Much less would be better.) The Blomberg, Summits and Whirlpools are reasonably priced. The Bosch SH 63 300 series is a more but I would consider it. Very worried about having a stinker. We do about 2 or 3 loads a day (large family) during week although much less on weekends, where we will leave it for a day or two. Suggestions? Thank you |

I have a whirlpool DW. I use it about every third day and sometimes once a day on the weekends when I have family over. I have no complaints...but do recommend the correct detergent. I use Finish Quantum and the dishes are sparkling clean. |
Thank you |
Would also consider a Frigidare. Throughly confused. Bosch got rated well by CR, nervous about no heat there. Friend has a whirlpool and very happy with it, Frigidare is now made by Electrolux and people seem happier with it. To be honest, not in love with the look of either the Fri or Whirl models, have stainless with black but at this point I just need a dishwasher and am trying to convince myself I do not care what it looks like. This may be short term and we will redo kitchen within the year but probably will not happen so may be stuck with this. GE was beautiful but leaked! |
We had a Whirlpool in our old house - it worked well (though it was noisy) but eventually we replaced it with a more upscale stainless model to put the house on the market. Our new home has a Bosch. Consumer Reports basically said most dishwashers wash dishes well. What you pay for as you move to more expensive models & brands is quietness and extra features. I love the Bosch's 3rd flatware rack, but do miss having a dry cycle. Frankly, I wouldn't obsess over the dishwasher...I'd get what meets your space and feature needs, looks good with the rest of your appliances, and is as quiet as you can afford. |
Thank you. We are a family of 8! so basically do at least 2 or 3 washes a day. The Bosch I would get is smaller so as to be ADA compliant (fixed counter, sunken dishwasher). It would not have a 3rd rack. It is just a little prettier than the Whirlpool and Fridge (still has front controls so not stunning). Because we do so many loads I am nervous about not having a dry cycle. I do not want lots of wet plastic in my future, although I realize there are worse things. Quiet does not worry me as our kitchen is not used except for cooking, everything happens in the den which is not near the kitchen. I got what fit two years ago and ended up with a leaky GE lemon! So I am really worried about reliability. If I redo the kitchen (not holding my breath there), I will want a full size dishwasher so would replace this one anyway. So the cheapest is the Fridge for 530, then whirlpool for 630 and the most expensive is the Bosch for 850-900, is it worth it?! Will I miss the heated dry? |
We wash a lot of plastic too and I prefer not having a heated dryer element. No risk or things falling in the bottom and melting. |

Does anyone have this plumeria? Can you describe its growth habit(conpact,medium,large tree). Are the flowers fragrant and is it worth buying? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I purchased a Tahtian Sunset from Florida Colors about four years ago. Its a tall grower....lanky. As a matter of fact I had to prune it this season because it had grown too tall to reach and enjoy the flowers. The fragrance is 'gardenia like' in smell. I was and still am happy with my purchase. |
tahitian sunset grafted plant that I bought from 'florida colors' seems to have settled but the graft area does not look completly fused.The tape or rubberband that came around the graft fell off. I have attached pics below, is this normal or will it break off near the graft? |
That's pretty much what all my fresh grafts look like. Just keep any rowdy kids or dogs away from it and it should be fine; the inner layers grow amazingly quickly. |
- Posted by loveplants2 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 20, 11 at 1:37
Hey Khandi, If it makes you feel better, then place another rubber band around the area to give it some protectionn and some strenght. This will make u feel better... and make the plant more stable!!! Good Luc..your lucky to have this beauty!!! Laura in VB Havent forgotton!!! : ) still rooting!!! |
Hi Laura, not a bad idea, I tied a rubberband around it carefully, hope the graft heals faster. how are your plumeria's coming with the spotting issue? |

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 Bella!
Facts about Bella
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Bella's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Bella as written by her foster mom....We are the foster parents for a beautiful Black Lab named Bella. She is approximately 2-3 years old and has been spayed and given all her shots. We believe she may be a mix because she has some white fur on her chest. Bella is dog, cat and kid friendly, is housebroken and weighs about 65 lbs. Bella came into a rescue group when she was only a pup and had mange so bad, that she had very little fur. We have had Bella in our home for a month and a half now and she is a fantastic dog! Bella is sweet and loving and loves to be pet. She is also mischievous and outgoing. When we lay on the couch with a blanket, she sneaks over and pulls off the blanket. LOTS of personality. Bella loves the water and loves going to the dog park to play and run. Bella is learning how to be dog and it's fun to watch her explore new things. Bella would do well with an active family who will take her places and play with her. She is very smart and loves to learn. Bella is currently in Houston, TX with us, but we are willing to adopt her to a good family in another state. We will handle transporting her to her forever home. Adoption fee is $150. Vet check and home check required. Awesome dogs! Call Ginelle at 772-475-7680 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bella, a Houston Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Houston, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Houston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Houston 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 Houston 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Houston paves the way for another one to be saved.

U.S. military chaplains and Christian service members are being punished for their beliefs on traditional marriage, according to the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
The group provided written testimony Tuesday about the impact of recent Department of Defense policies on religious liberty for service members, including chaplains.
The Chaplain Alliance cited many examples. One incident involved a service member being reprimanded for expressing his religious position on homosexuality in a personal blog.
Another example included a chaplain who was relieved of his command for refusing to allow same-sex weddings at a military chapel. And an Army Equal Opportunity Officer listed Christians and Ultra Orthodox Jews as religious extremists like the Klu Klux Klan and Al Qaeda in a power point presentation.
The new Defense Authorization Act requires the military to accommodate religious beliefs but the Obama administration is opposing those protections.
The Chaplain Alliance's testimony was sent at the invitation of the U.S. House Armed Service Committee.

A Bleak Picture: First Documentation of the Effects of Type 2 on Children
Type 2 diabetes, at one time referred to as "adult-onset" diabetes, was practically unheard of in young people 20 years ago. Today, it is not only sweeping through youth populations but also leading to dire complications.
According to reports from a June 2002 press conference at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions in San Francisco, documentation now points to complications associated with children having type 2 diabetes. These complications, according to the panel of experts, include death before age 30, kidney failure and dialysis, and miscarriages.
"Our youngsters spend too much time in front of a screen - a computer or a TV - instead of being outside jumping rope and playing ball," warns Silvia Arslanian, MD, professor of pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "And many schools have cut down on their physical education programs. Plus [children] are surrounded with calorically dense food-high fat, high simple sugars and low fiber-all of which lead to obesity, which is associated with insulin resistance."
Researchers described a sampling of Canadians diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before the age of 17. Of the 51 diagnosed (today ranging in age from 18 to 33), two died from sudden death on dialysis, and three are now on dialysis. One young woman became blind at age 26, and one had a toe amputation. In addition, of 56 pregnancies among this study population, only 35 resulted in live births.
Dr. Arslanian paints a bleaker picture by comparing young people with type 2 to adults with type 2, who generally develop the disease when they are middle-aged.
"When an adult of 50 gets diabetes and then develops cardiovascular disease, that is bad enough. But when 14-year-old children already have indications of complications, that's more serious because their longevity can be cut extremely short."
While it may sound like a broken record, all of the experts say that increased physical activity and better nutrition should be the "cornerstone of therapy," in addition to oral medications and insulin injections. However, says Dr. Arslanian, adherence is "terrible" in these young people.
"Parents need to know that obesity is not just about appearance but can place their children at severe medical risks."

Spurs rebound from NBA Finals disappointment, open season 10-1
Team off to second 10-1 start in past four seasons
SAN ANTONIO - When you put your heart and soul into something, pouring out your blood, sweat and tears while working towards a goal, the desolate feeling that comes with dejection or failure is hard to describe. Falling short of something that you've been dying to achieve - whether it's the promotion you feel you deserve or that college acceptance letter you've stood at the mailbox waiting for each day - can be the most deflating thing in the world. You begin to question why you'd exert such energy and effort into something that can be so cruel and devastating and sometimes even detach yourself from whatever it is you are doing to protect yourself from ever being let down that way again.

This section deals on all and everything concerning the Western Digital (WD) personal NAS MyBook Live version.
[ this is the first published hack, a newer tutorial you can find here: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/ultra-fast-install-for-my-book-world-edition-i-and-ii-white ]
Getting in
- Getting SSH : just activate it using http://yourIP/UI/ssh (beware case sensitive) post
- Installing Packages (programs)
- apt-get and aptitude : the normal way with Debian based Linux : it is pre-installed
- 'apt-get How-To' (very, very basic..) post
- aptitude : somehow easier to use with command line and screen display : http://wiki.debian.org/Aptitude
- install Optware refer to the optware page
- apt-get and aptitude : the normal way with Debian based Linux : it is pre-installed
- Basic Tools (Putty, Nano, SCP, …)
Upgrade recommendations & problems
The MyBook Live is delivered with a Lenny linux based system. Any update of the WD firmware wipes out your own installed upgrades and new packages. The delivered firmware is not compatible with all upgrades you can make. We will try to list known problems mostly related to packages very near from the system (exemple : udev), or related to WD Web System Management ( //yourIP/UI).
If you don't know what you do, do not do a full apt-get distr-upgrade or aptitude full-upgrade or safe-upgrade : It can brick your system !!! (you can see some related experience in the forum)
Be conservative and upgrade when needed i.e. to only install dependencies needed by a specific package and find help in the forum.
1. By default WD authorize to install packages from "debian lenny" and "squeeze" version to avoid incompatibilities you should limit to "lenny packages". To install only "lenny" packages comment out the "debian squeeze" line in '/etc/apt/sources.list' :
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
If you get 404 errors while updating or do not have a lenny line in your sources.list file (as is the case with recent firmware updates) you will need to use the archive.debian.org repository:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
Although it's safer to stick with "lenny", never downgrade packages to resolve dependency issues. As WD hasn't upgraded these packages just for fun, this will probably brick your system. In case there is no other way to fulfill dependency requirements, try to install necessary packages from "squeeze". Be very careful! Think twice before doing any changes! Always do a test run with the option '—simulate' first. Limit the number of packages you install to the minimum. In case you are not sure what will be installed, ask in the forum or check package contents using www.debian.org.
2. do not upgrade 'udev' : There are compatibility issues with the kernel. To reload the good version of udev (see post) and to avoid any upgrade of udev :
# echo "udev hold" | dpkg --set-selections
# aptitude hold udev
If you want a newer udev, you have to disable
General setup -> enable deprecated sysfs features which may confuse old userspace tools (CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2)
and recompile the Kernel
You can also build modules whithout recompile the whole kernel
3. if you upgrade to PHP 5.3 : your will need to modify php.ini and restart apache or install a version of cake >= 1.3 (if you don't want to lose access to the Web System Management ( http://yourIP/UI)).
# echo "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED" > /etc/php5/conf.d/cake_1.2.6.ini
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
4. If you upgrade the firmware through WD's UI, all customizations will be removed. This does not include SSH access, but it includes packages, kernel modules, SSH keys in /root/.ssh, everything that is not configured through the Web UI.
WD's upgrade is actually very clever: the system's root partition is a 'fake RAID' (two 2GB partitions on the same disk) and during upgrade, they disable one copy of the copies, install a new partition image, then synchronize the fake RAID, and reboot. So everything gets overwritten. This can also help if something is broken - just upgrade the firmware again, and everything will be reset to normal. You can force a firmware upgrade by making the Mybook Live think it has an old version:
echo "02.01.06" > /etc/version

Ok... I bought an endless summer hydrangea specifically so I could prune it down to size as space is very limited in my area. My question is... Should I pinch of the emerging blooms? It's very eager to bloom for me but it hasn't even filled in its designated space yet! It's about half the size I want it to be. So should I pinch back the blooms so it concentrates on growth? Will that even do anything? Or should I just leave it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hydrangeas do not grow as fast as roses. Pinching may force them to become bushier/thicker plants but I am not sure it would make them grow faster. I have not tried that with hydrangeas but if you do a Gardenweb Search on the word pinch or pinching, you will see some people who have tried it (you could send them a Gardenweb Mail to see how that worked for them). I agree they will concentrate on growth if you pinch them but, ES being a rebloomer, you may still get blooms later in the growing season. |
