The Gold Rush (8-7 overall, 1-4 GCAC) snapped a four-game losing streak and defeated the Wolfpack (3-11, 0-4) for the eighth consecutive time. Xavier leads the series 21-2. Xavier led 62-60 with 6:05 remaining before pulling away with a 16-3 run that included five points and three assists from Dumas during the next four minutes. Dumas also had seven steals in the game. Kelechi Okoroha led the Gold Rush with 20 points. Mark Stewart scored 18, all on 3-pointers, and Alfred Williams had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman Rashaad Lewis, in his second game after rejoining Xavier at midterm, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked three shots. Mario Faranda tied career highs of 27 points and 13 rebounds for Loyola. Luke Zumo scored 15 points, and James Bunn had 11. Loyola shot 50 percent from the floor and got 17 points from Faranda to build a 40-38 halftime lead. But Xavier opened the second half with a 8-2 run during the first four minutes and never lost the lead again. Xavier made a season-high 11 3-point baskets for the second time in three games and has scored 30 times from behind the arc in the last three contests.

"Plan your Perfect
Universal Vacation
in 5 steps" Go
Most vendors sell you a voucher—not a ticket. You need to stand in line (~20-30 min) to get your actual tickets. And if you lose a voucher or ticket, you may have to buy a new one at full price.
Beware of the "unused days" ticket scam. If you buy an "unused days" ticket (maybe even without realizing that's the case), you can only hope that the ticket is still active (tickets expires 14 days after first use). There's no way to know until you're at the park gates, and if you got an inactive ticket, you have to buy a new one.
We always send your tickets (no vouchers) straight to your hotel front desk, so you can skip the ticket line. And if you lose a ticket, we'll send you the info you need to get a free copy from the theme park.
Your vacation won't feel like a vacation if you spend it running from one place to another. It takes a full day to experience a theme park fully. If you try to do more, especially during the busy seasons, a constant rush and short tempers can easily ruin your vacation.
When you get a package from us, our specialists will check it to make sure your plans make for a great vacation instead of a fight against time. If it looks like you'll be in a rush, we'll let you know about it and recommend an alternative, so you can change your reservation before it's too late.
You'll avoid buying unnecessarily expensive tickets and making plans that won't work in the end.
When hotels say, "we're close to the theme parks," it can mean a 45-minute drive without traffic. There are more than 400 hotels in the Orlando area. We've narrowed down the list to the ones that are actually near the theme parks and excluded the ones in bad neighborhoods.
We've also compared the prices and checked for basic amenities (for example, free breakfast and transportation to the parks). The options we offer are all safe for your family and vacation schedule.
When you book a hotel through us, you can be sure it's a great choice. And our specialists will even double-check your booking to make sure that your hotel is a great match with the parks you're planning to visit and that there are no cheaper rooms available (for example, a two-bedroom suite can be bigger and cheaper than two separate rooms).
We hand-pick hotels based on value, amenities, location near Universal and family friendliness and negotiate wholesale rates with those hotels. Then we combine them with wholesale priced theme park tickets to create the cheapest vacation packages available.
We guarantee the lowest package price. If there is a lower price available, we'll refund the difference and give your family a $25 Disney Gift Card, to use anywhere at the parks.
In 10+ years we've only bought them for our employees...

I've lived in the city of Orlando, FL most of my life. Florida is a humid place, but the winters can be wonderful. And of course, it's close to all the theme parks: Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, and SeaWorld. I call myself a "Disney Baby," having been more or less raised in the parks. My first time ever at Disney was when we moved here. I was four years old. Even now, looking around the house, I see Mickey Mouse hoodies, the Mickey and Minnie salt shaker set my mom gave me, a few Disney stuffed animals.
When I was young, my parents would sneak me out of class and take me to Magic Kingdom; we had annual passes from an early age. (Of course, tickets have gone up in price since then.) It felt like the best family trip whenever we'd go, though we only had to travel about twenty minutes by car to get to our 'vacation.' Still, our family vacations were at the theme parks, and I remember running up to the turnstile, ticket in my little hand, waiting to get into Magic Kingdom without having to wait in the long line with everyone else! Disney World wasn't the only park, though.
Blizzard Beach, the water park, was my go-to place in the summer. I loved the rides there better than Typhoon Lagoon, since I was still a younger kid. I remember one time, getting lost there; my mom was hysterical when she finally found me, though now she recounts the story with hysterical laughter. I was at the lost kid station, queen of the lost kids, like Peter Pan in Neverland. When I left, they bowed sadly, giving me paper crowns and pieces of lint in offering.
When I got a bit older, SeaWorld was one of my favorite themepark locations. Aquatica didn't exist for many years, not yet. But Sea World felt like its own water park, with icy splashes by Shamu and interactive shows with other sea creatures! I had a birthday party there; though, when they promised I could meet Shamu, I expected the killer whale, not a man in a costume. I was seven and I was going to have the party at Busch Gardens, but it's a lot further away, almost an hour a a half from some of my friends homes,
so not everyone could go (nowadays you can get a free bus ride from SeaWorld though) and for some of my classmates was the first time they were able to go to Sea World. We had a room were we had cake and afterwards they took us to the Shamu show where they have a space reserved for us, of course on the splash zone! I felt like royalty and that party (sounds materialistic, I know) made me very popular with my friends for some time :)
Over time, the trips to SeaWorld turned into trips to Universal Studios and later, it included Universals Islands of Adventure and Halloween Horror Nights (once I was old enough to go!). Now, Islands of Adventure includes the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Universal Orlando is its own resort. My high school was across the street (go Panthers!), and after class a group of us would make our way, lugging our heavy backpacks, to Universal's CityWalk. We didn't all have passes to the parks, but we were free to walk between them, scouring the candy store for Rocket Belts and Lemonheads and Bertie Botts' Every-Flavor Beans. We'd watch a movie or grab some potato skins at the Hard Rock Cafe, and my sister would sneak into the hotels nearby and use the pool. She was eventually caught after she forgot her swimsuit but on a dare jumped in fully dressed and there were complaints and violations of codes. My parents just laughed and shook their heads. She still goes, sometimes; "if you look like you belong, they will not ask for a hotel ID" is her motto.
Christmas is a magical time. Since I've become an adult (only on the outside, mind you), I watch the calendar and wait for November. That's when the magic really starts. We head to Epcot, where the giant Christmas tree marks the path to the World Showcase. We get into the Candlelight Processional, hot chocolate burning our tongues, and watch the fireworks light up the night sky with hopes for world peace. Every year, I leave the park feeling a little more hopeful, even with the fighting and unrest in the world. I guess Disney truly is a magical place.

Acai Extract Might Maintain MetabolismAt the end of the study, blood sugar, insulin, and total cholesterol levels were significantly lower
Drinking an antioxidant-rich smoothie made from acai berries could help reduce the chance of developing metabolic syndrome in at-risk people, according to a preliminary study published in Nutrition Journal.
An "apple-shaped" conditionMetabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, including overweight (especially abdominal obesity, the type that gives people an apple-shaped body), high blood pressure, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood sugar, and insulin resistance. Oxidation caused by free radicals in the body is one factor thought to contribute to metabolic syndrome and diets rich in fruits and vegetables can help boost the body's antioxidant capacity. The fruit of the acai palm (Euterpe oleracea) is a concentrated source of antioxidants that improves markers of oxidative stress in animals, but little is known about how it affects people. Power berriesThe new study looked at the effects of acai berries in ten overweight people who were at risk for developing metabolic syndrome. For one month, the people took 100 grams of acai pulp two times per day in a smoothie. Fasting blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, and markers of lung and overall inflammation were measured before and after the trial. The people also ate a test meal before beginning the acai supplement and again at the end of the study. Blood pressure, lung inflammation, and blood sugar levels were measured before and after the meal was eaten. At the end of the study, blood sugar, insulin, and total cholesterol levels were significantly lower than at baseline. Acai berries also seemed to curb the blood sugar-raising effect of the test meal. Based on studies of diabetes prevention, "these reductions are greater than those deemed necessary for a change in risk status," said lead study author, Jay Udani of Medicus Research in Northridge, California. No significant changes in triglycerides, inflammation, or blood pressure were noted, and no adverse effects were reported. Said Udani, "The results of this study suggest that conducting a larger placebo-controlled trial to determine the effects of acai on risk factors for chronic disease is warranted." An ounce of preventionWhile metabolic syndrome can lead to other more serious diseases, it is also a very treatable condition. Caught early, you can take steps to keep it from progressing and lower your chances of developing heart disease and diabetes. Try these tips to lower your risk of metabolic syndrome:

Arizona voters are entitled to decide if they want to scrap the current partisan system of nominating candidates, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.
In a brief order, the justices overturned a lower court ruling which concluded that the initiative to create a wide-open primary was constitutionally flawed. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Mark Brain had said it illegally dealt with more than one subject.
The justices did not explain their decision, promising details later.
Friday's ruling is a significant victory for proponents of the radical change which would have all candidates from all political stripes run against each other for statewide, legislative and county supervisor posts. It also would overrule Tucson's partisan primary for mayor and council.
Then the top two would face off in the November general election.
But the Supreme Court action does not mean the "Open Government/Open Elections'' initiative actually will be on the November ballot.
County election officials are still reviewing a random sample of initiative petition sheets to verify that there are at least 259,213 valid signatures to put the issue on the November ballot. And some preliminary numbers from the state's largest county suggest the petition drive could fall short.
Maricopa County Elections Director Karen Osborne told Capitol Media Services she has checked 12,990 of the 13,076 signatures sent to her. Of those screened, 4,280 are invalid for an validity rate of about 67 percent.
Matt Roberts, spokesman for the Secretary of State's Office, said after clearly invalid petitions were removed, that left more than 358,000 signatures. And a 33 percent failure rate, if that proves to be the final number, would leave just about 240,000 valid signers, short of the 259,213 needed to qualify for the ballot.
But Tom Milton, the campaign manager, said he believes that Maricopa County is much tougher on its checks than other counties, and that the results from elsewhere will provide enough names to qualify.
If Pima County is any indication, that appears to be the case: Elections Director Chris Roads said late Friday that the failure rate of the samples sent to his county is running in the 23 percent range.
If there are enough signatures, that would pave the way for finally debating the issue on its merits.
Supporters contend the change will result in general election candidates whose views are more mainstream than those who currently are nominated by only the voters from each party, as the contenders will have to have broad appeal to even get through the primary.
Attorney Mike Liburdi, who represents challengers, scoffed at claims this will make the political system work better.
"These same people who are presenting open government are the same people who presented term limits,'' he said, which caps the number of years any statewide officer or legislator can serve in the same office. "That didn't fix the problem.''
Liburdi said the Citizens Clean Elections Act allowing candidates to get public funding for their campaigns "brought us more extremism and more ideology in the Legislature.'' And he criticized creation of the Independent Redistricting Commission, saying all that did was move the duty of drawing lines for congressional and legislative districts from the Legislature to having the process "orchestrated behind closed doors.''
Milton said no one is claiming this measure will totally reform politics.
"This is not a silver bullet,'' he said. "We believes this is a reform that takes us in the right direction.''
And Milton said that, no matter how people feel about those other changes, it's unfair to compare this measure to any of them. A better comparison, he said, would be other changes that have occurred over the years, including giving women the right to vote, lowering the voting age to 18, and allowing people to vote by mail rather than having to go to the polls on election day.
"We've made reforms that were so dramatic and did affect the process so much, we don't even see them as reforms now,'' Milton said.
By contrast, he said, things like term limits and public financing were focused on limits on what candidates can do. "Our initiative is opening the process.''
Liburdi's initial clients were interests aligned with the Republican Party whose candidates hold all statewide offices with the exception of two of the five seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission, and big majorities in the state House and Senate. Jaime Molera, a lobbyist and former GOP candidate for statewide office, said the party system works because it gives voters some idea of the general principles of the candidate.
But two Hispanic Democrats also joined in the legal challenge. Rep. Steve Gallardo of Phoenix and Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox said they are concerned the change being proposed would allow Anglo candidates to "game'' the system, making it harder to elect minority candidates, even in districts where they are a plurality or majority.

Lost in paradise
Our hike seemed like any other for the first couple of hours. Then we hit the first drifts of snow. Looking back, this would have been the time to reconsider our outing. "Setting a turnaround time is the one of the most important things you can do to make sure you don't get stuck out there," Crimmens said. We pushed on, hoping the snow would give way and we could pick up the pace to make our goal, Big Meadow on Highway 89. Instead we found ourselves nearing the end of daylight with miles to go.
Even though we were packing for a day, with plenty of water and extra sandwiches, we did not have nearly enough provisions to comfortably spend the night. When the trail leads far from help, leave with enough food for an evening, tools for making a fire, rain gear and warm clothes. We got lucky; a fellow hiker, Ron Clementi, who was on the start of a two week hike, offered us warm food and gave us his extra clothing for the evening.
We also packed too little equipment. We had maps and GPSs on our phones, but phones drain batteries very quickly when used for navigation and all of ours eventually died, thankfully after we had called out.
A few minutes after calling my wife to tell her we needed to camp overnight, I heard a helicopter and realized in horror it was for us. It circled and made a harrowing landing on a rocky ledge, its engine still running. A sheriff's deputy hopped out of the passenger seat to made sure we were healthy and told us Search and Rescue would come for us in the morning. We spent a cold, sleepless night watching the fire and waiting for daybreak. When the sun finally rose another helicopter arrived with two volunteers, an ex-Marine and a ski instructor, who hiked us out. Scott, the Marine, led us with military hand signals. When we asked him if he was married, he answered with a curt "Negative". The thought that these guys spent their days off from work jumping out of helicopters to help stranded hikers like me, was truly humbling.
With no poisonous insects or plants, Tahoe has some advantages over tamer East Coast trails, but true wilderness hiking offers serious challenges like dehydration from elevation, a need to package your food to keep away bears and rescues that may be hours away. But the rewards are awe-inspiring alpine views and meditative moments of true desolation. It is that rare experience of solitude and quiet framed by an ocean of rugged mountains that will take me back out to Tahoe Rim Trail, armed with a bit more preparation and lot more humility.

geographical name \ˈē-ləs\Definition of ELIS
region S Greece in NW Peloponnese S of Achaea bordering on Ionian Sea
Variants of ELIS
Elis or ModGk Ilía \ē-ˈlē-ä\
(Concise Encyclopedia)Ancient Greek region and city-state, northwestern Peloponnese, Greece. Bounded by Achaea, Arcadia, Messenia, and the Ionian Sea, the region was known for its horse breeding and was the site of the Olympic Games. As an ally of Athens in the Peloponnesian War, Elis lost much of its territory. Later, by emphasizing the sanctity of the Olympic Games, it regained some land and even some independence after the Roman occupation of Greece (146 BC), only to disintegrate with the collapse of the Roman Empire. The modern locality contains the archaeological site of Olympia, scene of the games.

CLARK, Wyo. — Back in 1877, at a point not far from here, a band of Nez Perce Indians slipped from the Absaroka Mountains onto the prairie, eluding the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry in hot pursuit.
The Nez Perce ran their horses in circles to confuse Army scouts before moving onto the Wyoming flatland and making a run north into Montana.
While the Nez Perce managed to confuse the Army commanders that September, they also succeeded in confusing historians. The exact route of their great escape remains a mystery 135 years later.
"We want to figure out how the Nez Perce got off that mountain and crossed into Montana," said Jim Evans, director of the Nez Perce Trail Foundation. "We want to figure out where the route is so we can preserve and protect it for future generations."
Led by archaeologists from the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, a team of volunteers set out recently to carefully walk several miles of terrain near the Absaroka Front, hoping to find artifacts that might pinpoint the route taken by the Nez Perce during their 1877 flight.
The teams walked transects along the Montana-Wyoming border, covering several miles of ground in rattlesnake country. They turned up a stone cairn built to mark the border by an earlier geological survey, along with a few rusting artifacts likely stemming from mid-20th century agricultural activities.
They also found a prehistoric stone scraper that was impossible to date on location.
"Because it's an isolated resource found on the surface, we wouldn't be able to assign a date to it," said Kierson Crume, an archaeologist with the BLM who led the trip. "I wouldn't be able to say one way or another if this was carried by the Nez Perce when it's isolated like that."
The Nez Perce were chased from their homeland in Oregon, Washington and Idaho in 1877 and ordered to reservations by the U.S. government. Some in the tribe resisted the orders and fighting broke out. Members of the tribe began their historic 1,170-mile flight across the West, looking to reach freedom in Canada.
Over the next few months, the Nez Perce would cross great expanses of rugged country, fending off the U.S. Army in battles at the Big Hole Valley in Montana and at Camas Meadows in Idaho. They crossed Yellowstone National Park and travelled through the Absarokas before emerging on the Wyoming prairie somewhere near the Clarks Fork Canyon.
By September 1877, Col. Samuel Sturgis and his men had joined pursuit. They waited for the Nez Perce near the mouth of the canyon, certain the band of Indians would emerge at this most likely geographical point.
A map rendered by the National Park Service shows the Nez Perce on a path crossing the mountains south of Clarks Fork Canyon, closer to an area known as Bald Ridge. It also has them fording the Clarks Fork and entering Montana on the west side of the river.
But a Forest Service map shows the Nez Perce using the area between Bald Ridge and the canyon. It also shows them crossing the river two different times and entering Montana east of the river.
A third map rendered by historian Stan Hoggatt in 2007 has the Nez Perce entering the prairie from the canyon itself. The map also has the band travelling north and west of the Clarks Fork, never crossing as they moved into Montana.
"We try and accommodate these discrepancies by thinking of it as a corridor," Crume said. "It's moving north, north-east out of Wyoming into Montana. It was a one-time pass and the Nez Perce probably left less of a mark than the pursuing 7th Cavalry would have left."
On this trip, organized in part to celebrate National Trails Day, volunteer crews didn't find any evidence indicating the passage of the Nez Perce or of the 7th Cavalry.
But in a landscape this large and varied, results don't come overnight. Crume plans to continue the investigation, working with private landowners who farm along the Clarks Fork.
"The cavalry may not have been right behind them," said Crume. "Different bands may have gone different ways. There's also a good chance they were down there in the bottoms, as close to the river as they could get."
Down in the river bottom is where the cavalry expected the Nez Perce to be. Sturgis had been waiting with troops near the river, and Gen. Howard wasn't far away.
According to historians, scouts also had gathered information on the movement of the Nez Perce. But relaying that information back to commanders over rugged terrain was slow and difficult.
"The cavalry wasn't as mobile as the Nez Perce were," Evans said. "Several times they thought they were going to catch them, but they didn't."

The Black Hawk and the Leaf
November 3, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Adapted from Aesop's Fables
Many years ago, in a day when Toronto was powerful, a Black Hawk* and a Leaf entered into an alliance so that they might defeat the other creatures of the NHL with greater ease. It was decided that each would endeavour to tire the other's strongest opponent. The ageing but powerful Leaf agreed to assist the Black Hawk with his strength, while the Black Hawk gave the Leaf the benefit of his greater speed.
When they had each defeated the others' most fearsome foes, the Leaf undertook to distribute the spoils, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. "I will take the first share," he said, "because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can."
Some believe might makes right.
*In the olden days, Blackhawk was spelt Black Hawk

The Hamilton Invitational Science and Engineering Fair has produced a number of state science fair winners over its 12-year history.
This year's fair includes experiments that look at everything from which chemicals may produce an immune response in HIV cells to the effects of acid on DNA cloning to flying disc aerodynamics.
For the first time, this year's fair, open to the public 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hamilton High School, includes students representing every school in the Chandler Unified School District, said Teresa Clark, director of the event since its inception.
Two students with science boards - which students use to show off their hypothesis, research methods and experiment results - at the fair have not only won first place in previous Hamilton Invitationals, but have won first place in state.
Hamilton senior Shemonti Hasan, 17, expanded on the chemical research she did last year in creating this year's experiment, "Eliciting IL-2 production to inhibit HIV replication."
Working out of Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, Hasan is trying to create an immune response in HIV cells, known as interleukin 2 (IL-2). Her research is funded not only by ASU but by a grant she received from the Chandler Education Foundation and part of a grant her teacher, Clark, received from Salt River Project for the school's honors research class.
The idea behind Hasan's experiment is to find an alternative to a vaccine for HIV.
One reason a vaccine has not been created is the way HIV mutates, Hasan said. In addition, even if one did exist, vaccines need to be kept at cold temperatures. That would be difficult for delivery in countries of Africa, which has been hit hard by the disease.
She hopes to keep expanding her work. She would eventually like to try the experiment with human blood cells extracted from HIV patients. She would need to not only find the right chemical that creates the desired immune response, but a chemical that can be delivered safely into the human body.
"HIV, when it infects CD4 cells (in human blood), it inhibits those cells from producing IL-2 (interleukin 2), the immune response needed which tells the other cells, 'There's a virus in me, help me,'" she said this week at Hamilton High.
Scott Boisvert, a junior at Chandler's Basha High School, is no stranger to the Hamilton Invitational either. He's won first place in the microbiology category the past two years. He's also gone on to represent Arizona in the Intel Invitational Science and Engineering Fair.
This year, he's continuing his three years of work on batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a fungus that's attacking amphibians.
"This fungus is causing massive extinctions of amphibians in the world. It's actually the largest extinction since the dinosaurs," he said.
Working with Elizabeth Davidson in the life sciences department at ASU, Boisvert has created his own experiments on the fungus. In the past, he has looked at how the fungus grows in different environments and how local chemicals might affect growth, such as pesticides and herbicides used by golf courses in their water hazards.
This year, Boisvert is examining the fungus' movement.
"The fungus swims around lakes and infects frogs by penetrating into the skin. I was trying to find things to alter their movement," he said.
His work has taken him to "all corners of Arizona," pulling water samples from every watershed in the state.
He spends about 10 hours a week at the ASU lab, he said.
His work has paid off - literally. During last year's Intel Invitational Science and Engineering Fair in Reno, Nev., he earned scholarship money toward college.
Besides his newest experiment, he's working on a paper about last year's experiment that he hopes to see published.
"Ultimately, I'm trying to find what in the environment is effective on the fungus," he said, noting that some places in the world have seen a larger extinction of species than others. If he can find a way to re-create those environments that don't see as many issues with the fungus, it may be possible to slow or stop the fungus in other, more susceptible areas.
"If you use strong pesticides to kill it, you'll ultimately kill the environment with it," he said.
Clark said as a teacher she tries to encourage students to find an experiment they feel connected to. Then she tries to teach them to think about the implications of their research outside the classroom.
"That will take it to the next level," she said. "If the implications are significant, it's going to be a successful project."

I'd say that is your choice. If the plant is a trifasciata and happy with your care, in time it will fill the pot and break it if possible. If you like the larger plant size and have the room, I suggest you put in in a larger pot. If not, take the plant out of the pot and remove the pups. You can pot the pups and give them to your friends who who love them and you. DO IT!!! |
Before you remove them, I have found they need to be a certain size to be away from the mother and survive. If it is only a growing tip, and not at least two inches tall out of the dirt with it's own established roots, I would wait for awhile before you remove them. After they reach that size, then it is up to you what you do. I like the look of a large pot full with leaves, rather than a few leaves alone in a smaller pot. At this point, you probably could repot larger, then decide later what you want to do. They can and will break terra cotta pots, and some even poke right through plastic pots, or out the drain holes, requiring you to cut the pot off of the plant. Good luck with whatever you decide. |
Hello, I just found this forum. I had no idea there was a whole organization just for this type of plant. Anyway, my neighbor gave me a snake plant about ten years ago, which was pretty scruffy looking. It is taller than I am now, which is 5'4". What a great species. It has done well. We have put it in a bigger pot, and now it is crowding out that one. It flowers several times a year and smells absolutely heavenly. But it's strong, and my husband made me move it away from his desk. It gets a southern exposure in a sunny room. So, should we put it in yet another pot? The one it's in is a 12" x 12" straight-sided cylinder, very heavy ceramic. I don't know how I'd get it out of there. It's a pretty, contemporary white glazed style, too. I'd rather not break it. Do I have to repot it? Will it be a lot happier if I do? I want it to be happy. |

I have a plant that started to lay over. It was in a large planter and was thriving. The soil dried out and the leaves came out of the soil with little or know roots attached. I dumped the old dirt out and was using fresh. I was going to water and allow the soil to dry out and water as usual. Should I fertilize at this time with the light cactus fertilizer? Please, any advice on how to repot in regards to the soil, fertilizer, watering how deep and the light when you first repot, would be appreciated. |

Travelpro Crew 8 22 Reviews
The Travelpro Crew 8 22 has consumers raving about how spacious the compartments are. For a 22 inch roller, people were surprised at how many extra clothes could fit into this suitcase that could not fit into their previous suitcases. The compartments are said to be a lot roomier then they look in the pictures.
People also loved how this suitcase can fit into an overhead compartment. You will be able to pack clothes for at least a three to four day trip into this suitcase. If used for business trips, it can make a convenient carry on bag because the Travelpro Crew 8 22 will be able to fit into most overhead bins if placed in wheels first. You can reduce the amount of baggage you bring onto your trips by being able to put it all into one easy to carry bag.
The Travelpro Crew 8 22 got a 5 star rating from one consumer who had this suitcase last him through twelve years of hard use. This 22 inch roller is highly recommended for it's durability. Even though nothing lasts forever, the Travelpro Crew is well worth the money because it has lasted consumers more then a decade's worth of use.
One consumer said that they had problems with the zipper tabs on the suitcase. The actual zippers worked fine, but the zipper tabs had to be replaced on that consumer's suitcase. Another consumer had a problem with the size of the suitcase, however, they failed to read that the suitcase will not be able to be brought on as a carry on when fully expanded. The Travelpro Crew 8 22 is ordinarily able to be brought on as a carry on bag, but when expanded to it's fullest size the Travelpro Crew is too large to be brought on as a carry on.
The Travelpro Crew 8 22 is the consumer's number one choice whether they are traveling for an over night business trip or for a two week vacation. This suitcase has received much praise from people about it's many outstanding features, such as it's lightweight body or the spacious room allotted. Do not be caught without your own on your next trip!

Fischer incorrectly states that the White House has treated this whole affair as a purely personal matter. From the beginning, even before Netanyahu planned his appearance before Congress, our President stated that the Iranian talks were in a delicate stage and that any action on sanctions would derail those talks. This is a strategic issue and Netanyahu knows that. He has a right to disagree with the U.S. President. However, unlike Churchill he chose to make it a slap to Obama by not following the acceptable diplomatic protocol.

Has anyone here tried them for shoes? What's your opinion/experience?
Follow-Up Postings:
I buy from them and Online Shoes most of the time. The shipping is free both ways, and they are great. I know about my feet, and know what my shoe needs are. Both of these stores have real pros who can help you. In Tulsa there are few if any clerks who can help you find a shoe that fits your personal foot requirements. Even Runners World and the sport stores just have people with their opinions. Both of these online stores have a search function that is helpful, and their clerks can easily find someone in the store with knowledge. Since the return is free many of the stores will send you a label to use to return a package. That way you don't have to stand in line at the post office, and in my case, I have just seen the UPS or Fed Ex guy, and given the package to him. Sammy |
My mother and I both love this website! She was the one that told me about it. I have ordered several pairs of shoes from them and never had a problem. |
I love them. They have a wonderful search function and their service is quick and they provide a UPS label for returns. I almost never buy shoes any other way. I can't recommend them enough. Kathy |
Another Zappos fan here, I just ordered my Mizunos from them, they are great. |

I have ordered several pairs of shoes/boots from them too. Very happy with my purchases. The shoes always came within a few days. I have never returned anything though. Usually I find stuff in the store I like and shop around for a better price on the internet. If they have something I want I wouldn't hesitate to order again. |
DH orders from them all the time--they are the only place he can find the particular Timberland's he loves. Nothing but good things to say about Zappos! melanie |

Hi folks! I just found this website and I'm hooked, real food from real people with real comments, I love it! I live in what used to be my Grandparents farmhouse, with a tiny little kitchen. Hubby & I both come from big families and all family gatherings end up here, I love making people feel at home on the farm, but the kitchen just isn't big enough for all that entertaining. This winter we are remodeling, making 2 rooms into one for a bigger kitchen so I can really get cooking, I can't wait, although I must admit I hate changing Gramma's kitchen. I am keeping her original old double enamel sink, I can't bear to part with it after all the hours she used it. I'm a painter and woodcrafter and gardener (I am working on turning the whole yard into a huge cottage garden, and it's working, there are flowers and roses and veggies everywhere, along with deer to eat them, but I'm winning!), and I never miss a chance to go trailriding on one of four horses I spoil to death. We also have a dalmation puppy, homing pigeons, a golden pheasant, a pond full of fish, a couple kittens, and a pet skunk that lives behind our sofa. Not quite the dairy farm it used to be, but a farm of sorts, huh? Camping and fly-fishing are our favorite pasttimes as a family.
My family's favorite food is spaghetti, the one thing everyone will always agree on. My favorite dish to make that I have never had anyone not like is a Turkey Chowder recipe, there is never enough. I will post it here for you if I don't see that someone already did. It is expected and devoured at every gathering. I'm a big fan of comfort food in the winter when it gets cold. My Mom's boiled dinner, her meatloaf and scalloped potatoes, stews, chicken and biscuits, yum. Anything thick and hardy in the winter is for me, I love cooking things in the crockpot that take all day and fill the house with the wonderful aroma of home cooking. Nothing beats walking onto the porch hungry and smelling something mouth watering cooking. I have three kids, so finding something everyone likes can be a challenge, I'm sure there are those that agree with me. This website is going to turn into a daily event for me, I can tell already.

CHOICE says today's draft determination on NSW electricity price rises continues the cycle of sharply rising costs driven largely by infrastructure spending.[1]
The average 16 per cent increase follows a 17 per cent increase from last July, with the latest rise around half from spending on poles and wires, and half due to the carbon price.
"The most concerning factor is the continuing multi-billion dollar splurge on electricity infrastructure, a trend which has gathered pace in recent years and shows no sign of stopping," says CHOICE head of campaigns, Matt Levey.
"While the carbon price is a major factor, it is largely a one-off impact with some compensation, while there is far less scrutiny around the endless expansion of poles and wires."
CHOICE is calling for reforms to Australia's electricity market to break the cycle of rising infrastructure costs, including measures to cut peak electricity demand and greater scrutiny of costs before they are passed through to household bills.[2]
The people's watchdog is also calling for greater assistance to help households reduce their energy consumption, including through a national Energy Savings Initiative.[3]
"At the moment, we have an electricity market which at almost every stage is set against consumers' best interests, from generation, through distribution networks to the retailer. At the same time we have governments at every level talking about the need to reduce household bills.
"This latest set of price increases shows the time for incremental change is over. We need some bold reforms to create an energy sector that puts reduced demand and fairer prices above increased spending on poles and wires," says Mr Levey.

[1] Electricity prices are projected to increase an estimated 30% nationally by 2013/14 (see Page i of http://www.aemc.gov.au/market-reviews/completed/possible-future-retail-electricity-price-movements-1-july-2011-to-30-june-2014.html ). The main driver of price rises is network costs, the multi-billion dollar price tag of expanding and maintaining the poles and wires that carry electricity from the power generator to our homes. There is $55 billion worth of this spending already locked in, and it was recently estimated that on a national level, network costs would contribute about 40% to increases in electricity prices from 2011/12 to 2013/14 (see Page 6, table 2 of http://www.aemc.gov.au/market-reviews/completed/possible-future-retail-electricity-price-movements-1-july-2011-to-30-june-2014.html )

"Having trouble with undisciplined kids who just won't pay attention? KiddieTazer is the solution. A kid-sized tazer with just enough ZAP! to turn your little devils into little angles."
Wrong is among the list of words here….what in the hell were they thinking? If the choreographer came up with this idea then she should be slapped along with the girls for going along with the idea. Those kids look like they are enjoying the show,but way too young to see something like that.
Ignore my other comment…i was thinking of the photo of the girls putting their butts in front of young children.
Just in time for Christmas !
I'll take a dozen !
I wonder if that could be plugged into my welder.
for some kids this is needed….. really really needed….
Would it be acceptable to taze other people's kids because their parents won't?
Shut up and take my money!!
"…turn your little devils into little angles."
Umm…Right angles, I suppose…
hmmm this may work but the ones that need it won't buy it and the ones that don't need it will
YESSSS!! I'll take 2!!
Yes zap little Johnny with 50,000 volts to make up for your failure to be a good parent.
Yes we want them to be little angles. Because the parents that would use this are obviously Obtuse.

I have about forty 14 inch prisms that I removed from a chandelier. Any ideas what to make with these? I love gardening, so ideas for the garden are welcome. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Post this over on the Garden Junk forum as I think they will have some ideas, would help if you showed them also, 14 in. are pretty long, sounds like a wind chimes might work! Jan |

First of all they would make fabulous Christmas ornaments. I' ll leave the decorating ideas up to you I.e. ribbons, beads. He're is what I did with some bought prisms to make a lightweight chandelier for an 1812 ball room theme. Notice the wire flower baskets I recycled for the frame. This would be great outdoors in a gazebo painted a rustic black or even white. The sky's the limit! Rolande |
