In honour of President Obama's visit to India on Republic Day, we have put together some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Some of them address any worries that Obama may have, while others are queries Indians have for the US president.
Of all the wonderful discoveries and inventions of yore, only the pyjama miraculously survived, writes Manas Chakravarty.
After the Charlie Hebdo massacre, we have received this memo from the desk of Dr Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, MA (passed, second attempt), PhD (specialisation in murder, arson and bomb-making), aka Pat (President of the Association of Terrorists), Boss of ISIS.
A great debate is raging in the country on conversion and re-conversion. Manas Chakravarty gives his take on the drive undertaken by various political parties and other organisations.
'We must,' said the Big Boss, calling the meeting to order, 'select a couple of names for the Bharat Ratna'. 'Vajpayeeji, of course, is the first one,' he said and everyone erupted in shouts of 'Long live Atalji'.
In the confusion about the government declaring December 25 as Good Governance Day, some schoolkids have already allegedly submitted write-ups about the event. Here they are:
Very tricky characters, our cute Indian kids. You never know what they'll be up to next. In 2013, guess what they did — 1.3 million of the little blighters died before reaching their fifth birthday. That's 3,561 of them popping off every day, 148 every hour. Now what on earth do they mean by doing that?
Prime ministers usually wear more than one hat. Apart from his ministerial hat, he often has to put on an orator hat, sometimes a party leader hat, maybe an economist hat and even a foreign policy hat. Our prime minister has taken this multiple-hat thing to a whole new dimension.
We seem to have asked everybody their opinion about replacing German with Sanskrit in schools except the students. To mend matters, here's a selection of letters allegedly written by schoolkids, the contents of which are self-explanatory.
The spectre of history is haunting India. Wherever you turn, they seem to be talking of Nehru and Patel and Aryans and Hemu. Those of us who passed our history exams by smuggling in little slips of paper in our undies have a hunted look these days.
Readers of English newspapers would be in the top 5%, owning 65.5% or almost two-thirds of the country ... Those in the top 1% own 49%
During the long hours I have spent in office, I have not only been able to master the quick crosswords of national newspapers, but have also graduated to solving the cryptic crosswords that appear in the international papers. To young civil servants eager to know my secret, I can only point to gruelling practice.
I'm worried that merely a moral call to clean up may soon fizzle out. Instead, we need a scheme that will ensure sustained interest in the campaign, writes Mint's consulting editor Manas Chakravarty.
You must have heard of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme by now. It's been shouted about so much you couldn't forget it even if you wanted to.
Mr. Congress been suffering from chronic dynasty-itis, acute kowtowing and high corruption-pressure for a long time. Recently he also suffered from driving-the-economy-down-the-tube-itis and inflationosis, writes Manas Chakravarthy satirically.

Topaz's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
TOPAZ...sweet, gentle and super big love!!
Topaz was born around August 2012. Topaz is a gentle short hair brown tabby boy. His story is much like that of many other abandoned animals that find themselves in unfamiliar places ~ fortunately he was blessed to find someone who was willing to help him instead of harm him.
Before: A bit shy and reserved around people he does not know...life before his foster home was tough and uncertain...he will need some patience in adjusting to his new family and home.
After: Since coming into FFHSV, Topaz has blossomed!!! He is playful, energetic and has never met a stranger : ) He has completely transformed into a social creature. Loves kittens, cats and should do well with a cat-friendly dog. He is amazing. Gentle, kind hearted, laid back...a wonderful temperament for a family cat.
What a sweet boy this one is!! Loves to be petted ~ loves to chase his mousie toy too!! A gentle soul with not a mean bone in that cute body...laid back, gentle, kind...just a sweet boy who should blossom into a wonderful companion with safety, security and a truly forever home.
As with all Forgotten Felines cats for adoption, Topaz is neutered and current on his shots and tests. Should you have questions or need additional information on Topaz, please contact his Foster Mom at email@example.com
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. We want you to adopt the "purrfect" cat for you and your family...one that will fit into your home and lifestyle...a companion for a lifetime!!
About Forgotten Felines
About Our Rescue Group...
Forgotten Felines, Inc. is a 501-(3)(c) non-profit charitable organization. Our primary purpose is to manage the feral cat population in our area by trapping, neutering/spaying and re-releasing (TNR) cats back into their original territories. We also work to provide safe temporary homes for cats that are homeless, unwanted, abandoned or lost. Some of our animals have been rescued from dangerous conditions and cannot be released back to their original territory...these animals are housed in foster homes until permanent loving homes can be found. The majority of these animals are friendly abandoned pets, that are not feral, and we offer these loving and grateful animals for adoption here on Petfinder and also at Petsmart in Jones Valley, Huntsville, AL. We also provide help to people who are elderly, disable, financially challenged and those who love their animals but cannot provide them with the necessary care.Our Mission...
(1) Control feral cat populations through neutering/spaying
(2) Educate the public about about proper pet care and responsibility, especially neutering/spaying and advising about pet behavior and medical issues that often result in families giving up their pets
(3) Humanely remove and relocate ferals when possible
(4) Adopt out loving, grateful animals into permanent forever homes
(5) Raise necessary funds to build a shelter for rescued cats

Community members in Arroyo Grande staged a counter protest today rallying behind Doc Burnstein's Ice Cream Lab.
The Carpenter's Union has been demonstrating across the street from Doc Burnstein's for the last seven months. It's upset about a new location being built in Santa Maria using non-union workers, but doc burnstein's says that was the mall's decision, not theirs.
With picket signs in hand, supporters of Doc Burnstein's Ice Cream Lab in Arroyo Grande were on a fact-finding mission. They marched down to the Local Carpenter's Union Hall demanding answers.
"Talk to us! Talk to us," they shouted.
"He's always involved in charity work and it's unthinkable that a group of anyone would want to bring harm to him," said Al Brill of Arroyo Grande.
Doc Burnstein's and other area businesses are frustrated with the picketers who won't talk, won't go away and are hurting local business.
It's really difficult with having somebody who's constantly picketing across the street and who actually harasses people as they walk by," said Tim McKinney, who owns a tutoring business in the village.
This time, the union protesters were no shows across the street and at Union Hall--where this sign said they would return by 1pm.
"They're like cockroaches. They run under a rock when you shine a light on them," Brill said.
So, I went back at 1:30pm. They ignored me, but let this construction worker in just minutes later. Doc's founder and owner Greg Steinberger says the union picketing is protected under freedom of speech and his only option would be a slander lawsuit.
"My big fear is that as a small business, if i file a legal action against the union, their union lawyers and their deep pockets are probably just going to crush my business," Steinberger said.
"It's like our little village has been invaded and the people out here, whether they're union or non-union, we're all together here.
The protest remained peaceful. Afterwards, everyone returned to doc burnstein's for a free taste of what they do best. . .ice cream.
In February, a coalition of unions came out in support of Doc Burnstein's and bought ice cream for the public.

I'm having issues with my projection TV. I have a very cloudy and blurry image with some slight color issues. I've removed the back to check the CRT Coolant and it all seems new and clear with no issues. I've read about the gain/contrast knobs underneath but haven't messed with them yet....is this where I should start? Any suggestions? |

That is a huge tv, I would see if watching it from your neighbors house helped. I know some brands develop issues with the chips and a little soldering a new chip in place solves the problems. Do a search with the make and model number in yahoo or google and issue. It is very possible you can find what you need just doing that. |

I understood that the maximum water pressure in a home should be 80 PSI while mine is actually 150 PSI. If my information is correct how would I reduce the pressure?
Thanks a bunch, Uncle Dewey |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 13:18
Code requires that if the pressure exceeds 80psi or is likely to exceed 80psi even intermittently we are required to install a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) on the main water inlet line and an expansion tank in the near proximity of the water heater. |
First thing I'm wondering is if that reading is correct. 150psi inside a house is HUGE. Can hardly believe you haven't seen something bad happening because of it already. Assuming it is accurate and assuming you're on city water, you will want a PRV (pressure-reducing valve) installed immediately downstream of your meter. If this is city water and that's your street pressure, I strongly suspect there is already a PRV installed and it has failed. Either way, you'll want to fix it pronto. This will also "close" your system so you will want an expansion-tank next to your water heater to avoid pressure-spikes. This has been well-covered recently in posts by justalurker if you want to look it up. If you're on well-supply, it's a whole different deal. Please advise. |
- Posted by uncledewey (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 13:34
I am on city water and we have a pressure control valve which limits the pressure coming into our unit. I also have a pressure relief tank by the water heater and that is where I have a water pressure gauge. and it retains the maximum pressure recorded. When I look the current water pressure is always around 50-54 PSI and today when I looked it had reached 140 PSI since I last reset it. Uncle Dewey |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 13:54
Then your thermal expansion tank has probably failed. Usually results is a ruptured membrane in the tank. You can check by pushing the air valve on the thermal expansion tank. If you get sprayed by water then the membrane has failed cause there should only be air in there. |
- Posted by uncledewey (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 16:19
I checked and no water came out of the air valve. Could that mean there is too much air pressure between the membrane and the metal part of the tank? Maybe I should remove all of the air through the air valve? Thanks heaps for your interest. Uncle Dewey |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 16:29
As far as I know the only way to get a spike in a closed plumbing system that has an expansion tank is for the connection to the thermal expansion tank to be blocked effectively taking the tank out of the system or for the tank to have failed. Working properly a thermal expansion tank absorbs the spike. A 150psi spike should trip the T&P valve on the WH. In order to check the air pressure in the thermal expansion tank it needs to be empty of water. Here are the installation instruction in PDF form for a thermal expansion tank and it details how to set the pressure... http://media.wattswater.com/2915054.pdf If you can't find the problem get a licensed plumber in there right away. Those spikes may take out your WH but more important, if the T&P valve on the WH fails bad things can happen. |
- Posted by uncledewey (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 20:10
Hi Again, I now know how to check with no water pressure, but I'm not sure what pressure I should set the expansion tank at no water pressure.? Uncle Dewey |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 20:47
Read the installation instructions at the link two posts up... that's why I posted the link. |
- Posted by uncledewey (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 21:10
That's what happens when dealing with a neophyte. I have read the instructions so I know I have to remove all water pressue, but the instructions are first of all for a new installation, but even then leaves me with what pressure should be on the outside of the bladder under no water pressure. Maybe it is plain to others, but not to me. Uncle Dewey |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 21:22
The following italics are word for word from the installation instructions... Installation So, since you've already said your static water pressure is 50-54 psi we'll use 55 psi as static pressure (54 psi is high pressure but 55 is just an EZ number to remember). You set the air charge in the tank to 55 psi with the tank empty. Use a bicycle pump cause a compressor can rupture the bladder. Then you reinstall the tank and turn the water on and then open a faucet to let the air in the water side of the tank come out. If the tattletale needle on the pressure gauge stills shows 140 psi spikes GET A PLUMBER NOW. |
Ya know, there's no shame in hiring somebody to do stuff you can't figure out. For heaven's sake, this is important. If you don't get it, bring somebody in who does. Needs to be right and YOU need to have peace of mind about it being right before you leave it alone. |

The end credits say ''based on'' the true story of the 1988 Jamaican Olympic bobsled team. The ads, a bit more precise, only went as far as ''inspired by.'' Cinema scholars may conclude that, historically speaking, Cool Runnings isn't exactly The Sorrow and the Pity.
Original team member Devon Harris, 29, who now lives in the Bronx, says he found Cool Runnings ''very inspiring.'' But true to life? ''The movie accurately depicted the spirit of the team,'' he notes. ''For purposes of entertainment, they portrayed us with far more color, let us say.''
In the movie, the teammates are a collection of wildly dissimilar characters. The real squad was comprised of three soldiers (Harris, who's working as a cook while studying hospitality management; Michael White, 29, an electrical engineer on Long Island; and Dudley Stokes, 31, who owns a helicopter tour company in Jamaica) and an MBA candidate (Dudley's brother, Chris Stokes, 31, who helps run the tour company). White, who says he enjoyed the movie so much he's seen it five times, takes a world-weary attitude toward the filmmakers' poetic license. ''Maybe 10 percent of the movie is perfectly accurate,'' he says. ''The rest was just Hollywood trying to make its money.''
Harris is less blase about one aspect of the movie: its depiction of the coach. In the movie, John Candy plays Irv Blitzer, a disgraced former Olympian stripped of his gold medal for cheating. The real team's first coach, Howard Siler, ''was one of the top competitors in the world,'' Harris says. ''The script did him an injustice.''
Indeed, the real-life team began as an adventure for American George Fitch and expatriate American William Maloney, who formed the Jamaican Bobsled Federation. Fitch says that he invested $85,000 of his own, hoping, first, to make it back (he did), and then to see the JBF benefit from sponsorship and merchandising.
Despite reservations about the coach's depiction, Harris who along with his former teammates received a fee for story rights and has been promised a small percentage of any profits is happy with the finished product. ''The exposure was wonderful for bobsledding and for Jamaica,'' he says. ''The movie was probably the highest accolade you could get as a team.'' And the second highest? Probably that just two Olympics later, the 1994 Jamaican four-man team, with Dudley and Chris Stokes on board, finished 14th right ahead of the U.S.

So Sick!
Matte Black came in the mail yesterday and it hasn't left my wrist since. The gold accents are killer and the fit is like a glove. Dust and fibers are visible after a while but a quick rinse takes care of that. Can't wait to get more colors!
Don't think about it, just get it
I just got the Orange one to add some pizazz to my 'fits. In the first weekend of wearing out, I must have received about 15 comments on it, all likes. The bright colors grab eyes, and the clean look to it is pure Nixon. It fits snuggly, and the rubber strap keeps it from sliding around. I rock it when I bartend and love its durability too. It's my 6th NIxon, and they just keep getting better! I highly recommend it.

text: By Bill O'Neil Some very positive signs in the jobs picture--both in San Antonio--and across the State of Texas. By the numbers, the state's jobless rate fell to 5.5% in March--down from February's 5.7%. Employers in Texas added 9,100 jobs in March--for a total of 310,000 jobs added over the year" said Texas Workforce Commissioner Hope Andrade. In the San Antonio area meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell a full half-point from February to March--putting it at an even 5%. Statewide, Andrade said the growth is easy to see. "Texas employers continue to grow across a wide range of industries--with seven of the eleven major industries adding jobs in March" Andrade said.

Devils forward Stephen Gionta was involved in a crazy play today in the game between New Jersey and Florida.
Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov nailed Gionta into the Panthers bench with a big hit, but what happens next is really quite something. Gionta gets up pretty quick, and as he's trying to get back on the ice, gets pushed by Florida defenseman T.J. Brennan.
Matthew Perry was on Conan the other night, and spent about four minutes talking hockey, including getting booed by Devils fans, becoming a Kings fan, and hosting Anze Kopitar's Stanley Cup party.

Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith, who made his return to the lineup Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche after suffering an upper-body injury against the Vancouver Canucks back on March 21st, took out some frustration (even though he had a shutout working) after Cody McLeod's stick ended up in his crease after a few jabs at the netminder.
Daugavins, Dziurzynski, Wiercioch, Zibanejad, Silfverberg…it's a mess.
Barkov eventually starts skating backwards and uses some fancy stick work in his shootout attempt in a game Saturday in the Finnish Elite League.

Byblos and Islam Universal Host Fundraiser and Ashura Remembrance
January 15, 2009 by TMO
Dearborn-January 9–About 600 people filled the Byblos banquet hall this past Friday night as Islam Universal held a fundraiser and remembrance of Ashura, which is perhaps the most important period in the Shi'a year's religious calendar.
Shaykh Jehad, mentioned in last week's Southeast Michigan column, appeared, along with many other local imams, including Imam Abdul Latif Berry of the Islamic Institute of Knowledge.
The imams present spoke mainly in Arabic, but Shaykh Jehad (an immigrant to Australia) spoke in English, mainly about the importance of Ashura and the importance of ahlul bait and the teachings of the family of the Holy Prophet (s).
At the end there was a symbolic procession of mourning by about 15 women all dressed in black and completely covered, who performed a rehearsed play in which they proceeded through the tables of the banquet hall, screaming and crying, and at the end of which one of the girls read a speech by the women of ahlul bait to Yazid.
The speech was a beautiful invocation of faith and sadness mixed together, a clear statement that although in the present of that time the people of ahlul bait and those who love the family of the Prophet (s) were dismayed by the atrocity of Yazid, yet they promised that in the afterlife his immense transgressions against them would not be forgiven by them.
"Your sins have blinded you" to what you are doing, they said.
At least 600 people were present for the approximate 2 hour presentation, at the end of which several pieces of art were auctioned off in order to support the work of Islam Universal–One was a picture of a desert, another of a woman and child very reminiscent of Mariam (as) and her son Isa (as), another of calligraphy "Allah."
After the speakers had spoken and the prayers had been said for the martyrs of Karbala, there was a very nice dinner of traditional Middle Eastern food.

geographical name \ˈal-bə-ˌkər-kē\Definition of ALBUQUERQUE
Rhymes with ALBUQUERQUE
geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)City (pop., 2006 est.: 504,949), New Mexico, U.S. The state's largest city, it lies on the Rio Grande southwest of Santa Fe. Founded in 1706 by the governor of New Mexico, it was named for the duke of Alburquerque (the first r was later dropped), the viceroy of New Spain. After 1800 growing commerce on the Santa Fe Trail brought an influx of settlers; an army post was established following U.S. occupation in 1846. With the coming of the railroad in 1880, the population expanded. The characteristically Spanish Old Town and its mission church (1706) have survived. Since the 1930s many defense-related federal agencies have been established there (most notably the Sandia National Laboratories), along with a variety of manufacturing facilities, military bases, laboratories, and offices. The population continued to grow into the 21st century.

"The harder you work, the luckier you get." by Gary Player
Below is the poem entitled The Alcohol Train which was written by poet Dan Kearley. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by Dan Kearley
Best Dan Kearley Poems
I lost another friend who was riding the alcohol train. Little did I know he was in so much pain. He kept it hidden well, didn't notice it at all. His family kept him close, as they began to see him fall. He was always sneaking a drink wasting away all his time. As long as he had some alcohol, everything would seem just fine. Until he'd get to drunk then his temper would begin to rage. He was like a crazy animal released from his cage. He spent a couple years, of his life behind bars. From doing stupid things, in a drunken haze he stole a car. Maybe you would think, that might have sobered him up. But once you ride that train, it's really hard to get enough. It can make you kind of sad even bring tears to your eyes. When a friend you thought you knew, drinks himself to death, and slowly dies. When you think life is peachy, and everything is going as planned. That alcohol train comes calling, and everything gets out of hand. Danny Boy: 10-28-13

Blazer: Gap |Blouse: JC Penney |Denim: Gap |Booties: Elle via Kohl's |Bag: Garage sale |Bracelets: Forever 21/Macy's |Ring: Charming Charlie (c/o)
My staple this month is this plaid blazer from Gap (first wornhere). It's wool. It adds just a bit of color. And it works oh so well for mixing prints. Pairing a large print with a tinier print is much more wearable than trying to work two bold prints together — not to say it's impossible to do so — just easier. I kept things slouchy and casual for this first round of wearing the blazer. Check back next Monday on my blog to see how I wear it again!

This dress is based on a pattern from an Italian magazine, Marfy. I choosed to make the dress in a shiny sports stretch and that made the dress very comfortable to wear and I think the skirt fell very nicely with this fabric. I wanted the dress to be chic, but not too elegant and therefore I didn't want to have palettes on the shoulders and the lining inside the skirt as in the pattern. The photos are from my good friend's wedding in Rome ;)

And this is one of a couple of dresses in the world where I like such a skirt:-) You are so beautiful on this pictures, and all those accessoires match so well!

Could it be true! President Bush actually reached out to the new Democratic leaders in the House and Senate, who have themselves indicated that they hope to start working with the administration. Can't you just feel the love!
TV broadcasts always end up with a burning Bush as questions are fired at him concerning the hot topic of war in Iraq. The heat is on!
Good news in the world of health! Breast cancer rate among women has greatly plunged since millions of women stopped taking menopause hormones. Women ages 50 and older have seen the biggest decline in tumors whose growth is fueled by estrogen. Back to the hot flashes!
There is now a one-time shot for everyone over 60 to be vaccinated against shingles. Another itch scratched! Democrats in Congress are predicted to push for lifting federal restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. On the upcoming congressional agenda, government plans to negotiate prices directly with pharmaceutical companies for the Medicare prescription benefit. Ah, how about across the board reform?
The highest reward for work well done is the ability to do better. There are miles of room for improvement in the political arena. Fire up!
Consider, there are 46 million Americans who have no health insurance. Not everyone in the medical field is greedy. Retired doctors and nurses are leaving their golf clubs in the bag, as they donate their services to address the clinic shortage. Fifty "Volunteers In Medicine" clinics are up and running in the U.S. It all began with Jack McConnell, M.D., who got so bored in retirement that he launched the first free medical clinic, in Hilton Head, South Carolina, for low-income people with no health care.
Of single mothers raising children, 42% live beneath the poverty line. These are the working poor. Many suffer from depression with no means to buy the drugs they so desperately need to function. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing for the millions of victims of hurricanes last year. Those most in need, from low-income communities, have no investments to help them rebuild. Help is slow in coming! Something new called "microlending" is one form of community investing which assists people, mostly women, who were poor candidates for loans, providing them with an opportunity to get back on their feet, to rebuild and start over with dignity and hope for a brighter future. Small businesses have reopened and social services such as day care have become available.
Even the Audubon Society has a year-end report to offer. This annual Christmas bird count makes one wonder if our feathered friends have flown the coop for whiter places. Fifty-one species of birds were counted in the area, compared to fifty-eight last year. It's a mystery why waterfowl weren't swarming on unusually open water. Maybe they just didn't recognize the place.
Hold up on those New Year's resolutions! Those who enjoy sweets live longer than those who don't. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and actually improves blood flow. We all need comfort food once in awhile.
Sleeping-in is a good thing"¦unless you're jeopardizing your job. A Columbia University study showed that people who sleep only six hours a night are 23% more likely to weigh more than those who sleep seven to nine hours.
Here we are in the 21st century, and we're still telling Ole and Lena jokes, getting goose bumps singing "Amazing Grace", getting hot under the collar, visiting cemeteries, burning bridges, wishing on falling stars, and telling tall tales around campfires.
Happy Trails!

Pirates beat Yanks 7-4
Final: Pirates 7, Yankees 4
WP: Chris Resop (1-0, 4.50 ERA)
LP: Phil Hughes (0-1, 6.75 ERA)
This game wasn't on tv and I wasn't able to listen to it, but here are some highlights.
Kevin Correia started and didn't give up a hit over 2 scoreless frames. He did walk 2 batters. Ryota Igarashi, Juan Cruz, Chris Leroux, and Tony Watson all pitched a scoreless inning in relief.
Andrew McCutchen went 2 for 3 with a double and 2 RBI. Nate McLouth, his replacement, went 1 for 1 with an RBI single.
Casey McGehee, Nick Evans, and Rod Barajas all went 0 for 3. Neither McGehee nor Pedro Alvarez have recorded a hit through 4 games. So third base is looking pretty good.

a nice older gentleman gave me a bunch of seeds from Portugal that he brought back. said the Loquat's were twice the size we grow here and the tree is quite different in shape? have one coming up and the leaf does look a bit different....?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Wallisadi That sounds like a good find! loquats grow very fast but if you have space, give it a try. Fruits in other places do taste better, maybe the soil? Silvia |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Tue, Mar 20, 12 at 9:04
Walli, there is a nice Purdue horitcultural website that lists many loquat varieties - although I didn't see any of Portuguese origin. Maybe you will recognize a description and then be able to Google for images? See the link below. By the way, my parents have had self-seeding loquats for years. Never planted them, and never knew they were edible... until some contractors doing a little painting work asked if they could eat some. I know my mother's eyes were like saucers! LOL! Carol M. in Jax |
Here is a link that might be useful: Loquat
the gentleman invited me to come see his garden, really interested in seeing the tree. thanks for the input! |
Wallisadi - That is a nice man, you should try to see his garden. When I went to the winery in Italy, I saw loquat trees there with the same leaves that we have them here. I just made some loquat jam and I gave some Italian friends to try it and they were not familiar with it but they like it. If you go and see his garden take some pictures... Silvia |
- Posted by ilovetogrow 8/9 Jax FL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 21, 12 at 20:47
I have a loquat that grew as a volunteer. I liked the shape of the leaves so I let it stay. I have yet to even try the fruit as it seems this guy likes it better. Have a great day all, Paula |
Christine is coming to your party, suppose to stop over here before then, will save a couple seeds for ya and send them along.....if i remember....:) spring is nuts around this yard......... |
Thank you Wallisadi for the offer, even if you forget.:) Silvia |

KLM and partners fly to Reagan National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport. Operating domestic flights only, Reagan National is the closest to downtown Washington, located just 6km from the National Mall. Washington Dulles offers international flights and carries nearly 24 million passengers a year. It is located 41km west of downtown Washington.
One of three metro Washington airports (the others are Washington Dulles and Baltimore/Washington International), Reagan National Airport transports around 18 million passengers into and out of the nation's capital each year. The 15-minute journey into the city centre (6km from the airport) can be made on the Metrorail.
Shuttle Bus
Shared SuperShuttles run to Union Station in the city centre and they provide custom door-to-door service to hotels and businesses throughout metropolitan DC. The shuttles operate on an on-demand basis. Single fares to Union Station cost about $14.
Metrorail is by far the easiest and most affordable means of transport to and from Reagan National Airport, provided you aren't travelling with more luggage than you can easily manoeuvre. The city's yellow and blue lines stop at the airport every 10-15 minutes and more often during morning and afternoon commuting hours. Metrorail trains begin service at 5am Mon-Fri and at 7am Sat-Sun; service ends at 12am Sun-Thu and at 3am Fri & Sat nights. Access the Metro station via Terminal B or C. A single fare to Union Station costs $2.50 and the journey takes 25 minutes. Amtrak and Greyhound terminals can be reached via Metrorail.
Taxicabs serve the airport 24 hours a day. Fares to any destination in metropolitan Washington are metered; the trip downtown should cost around $12-15 plus a 5-10% tip. You'll find taxicabs near the exits adjacent to baggage claims at each terminal. There is an initial $2.50 airport fee, a first-mile fee, and a charge per bag.
Car hire is available on the first floor of Parking Garage A, reached via a 10-minute walk from Terminals A & B or via the free Parking/Rental Car shuttle from outside baggage reclaim at each terminal.
Drive to Reagan National Airport via I-395, then travel on the George Washington Parkway South. Covered pedestrian walkways and free shuttles transport passengers to all three terminals and car parks.
Driving times to and from central Washington can vary greatly depending upon traffic. Midday it takes around 10-15 minutes, and around 30 minutes during peak periods.

Over at the LAPL Photo Collection, we were full steam ahead as always in 2014; processing collections, digitizing photos, acquiring new collections, mounting exhibits, coordinating programs, and assisting patrons with research and orders.
The Los Angeles Public Library has been the custodian of the photo collection from the Valley Times newspaper (1946-1970) for over thirty years, since receiving as part of the donation from the Security Pacific National Bank in 1981.
There were two types of stories the Los Angeles Herald loved to cover – celebrity and scandal. If the two subjects happened to be merged under the same headline, that was even better.
When I first started researching the life of 1930s/40s film star Ann Dvorak back in 1998, the Internet was around but there wasn't much to be found on her.
On October 3, 1993, Central Library opened its doors to the people of Los Angeles for the first time in over seven years. Originally designed by Bertram G. Goodhue, the building had been a Los Angeles icon since its dedication in 1926, with striking architecture and artwork both inside and out.
In the early 1960s, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy symbolized hope, change, and the dawn of a new era for a country that was caught in the clutches of Cold War fear, and in many cases, clinging to certain outdated social attitudes.
Since taking over the Photo Collection nearly four years ago, there are two questions I get asked most. The first is, "Do you have any photos of my house?" If your residence is named Pickfair or was once owned by Gloria Swanson, then yes, we probably do.
With the New Year looming ahead of us, it seemed like a perfect time to look back at the 2012 goings on in the Photo Collection.
Los Angeles in the late 1930s was a city in transition. It was suffering through the Great Depression with the rest of the country, but forging ahead with progress. Old Chinatown and La Grande Station were being erased, but Union Station and a New Chinatown would soon emerge.

Family room has high ceilings and wood beams. Former owners hung chandelier going through roof to do wiring. Our table is no longer centered under the beam from which fixture hangs. Our tv is also in different spot so if we swag fixture over table it will block view of tv if you are at kitchen sink on other side of pass through. What options do I have? Don't think recessed lighting is an affordable option. Our table is at least one beam away from being centered under fixture. This is also the homework spot of choice, so good lighting is key. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would have suggested a tech lighting track light type of fixture, but it is very pricy, but seems like it would have been perfect for your room. Post some pictures if you can. Mike |

Pink Saturday
I had my vanilla ice cream with sprinkles tonight! I think you should be sliding into the pool as well:)
I think everyone needs to slide down that slide before they can have dessert!
Q is so lucky! Slide with her it will do mom good!! You work too hard, have some double sprinkles! Have a great weekend!
thats such a sweet time for you both,, she'll remember those times for ever,, love thepool too!
I like those brightly colored chemical thingies too! What a fun end to the slide. Sounds like a great summer.
Do you remember Eddie Murphy's skit from SBL? You know, the one where he said, "You ain't got no ice cream!" Well.....no ice cream for me!!!! Meh!
Love Q's pool!! I am not an ice cream fan, but my family sure is. Got to have it! Happy Weekend!!
Love vanilla bean ice cream! Have fun scrubbing the kitchen, can't wait to see the paint job!
I consider you one of my very "most fun" friends! So glad you got BlogHer too.
I had some too!!!! ;)
have a fab. weekend!
Oh no, you are not torturing her by getting her to slide down into a big red mouth! LOL! In years to come, she will say to you: "God, remember that big red thing? I LOVED sliding down into that, and having ice cream with sprinkles outside!" You are providing great memories, good for you.
P.S. Personally, when I was little (and even now) I prefer chocolate sprinkles. ;)
Ok. I wish I had a little crabby pool like that one! Too cute! And what a treat to have some yummy ice cream in the evening, especially with sprinkles. ;o)

Here are some of the best posts/articles regarding comic book reprints and collected editions that I have retweeted on @ChrisCCL, Facebook, Google+, and read in RSS subscriptions this week.

Best known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and for the science fiction stories gathered together as The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951), Bradbury was one of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers of speculative fiction. Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films.
