Dark shadow circles around the eyes make us feel old or I should say look old. It is important to assess the cause of dark eye circles. For others it may be too prominent and looks like a bruise as if you were punched. A make-up concealer may hide the visibility of dark circles in women but it will not end the problem perse.
However, we don't need to fret for there are ways to minimize the appearance of shady circles and in some cases it can be removed completely.
The frequent causes of dark eye circles are:
If dark eye circles and puffiness still persist over a period of time, see your doctor for accurate diagnosis

That is one of my problems, I really want to get rid of my dark circles, now I know that I need more vitamin K.
That's one of my beauty issues. Thanks for the tips!
weeehh! I have those!! and i look like a zombie hehehe… i know the cause is fatigue and lack of sleep… as much as i want to sleep early, di ko magawa e.. i can go to bed early only when the internet connection is not good… hahaha!

First of all: What are reasonable settings for UT and my system? I'm using a 300mhz K6-2, TNT2,and 64MB of RAM. Games (especially bot games) start out sort of laggy at first, and loading a level takes a while. Loading the game takes even longer due to the opening movie.
So far I'm using 640x480 with 32bit textures and high detail on people and world. Second: Since I suck at multiplayer games (and UT is no different) I've decided to try and run a server instead of play myself. I got a dedicated going, but nobody joins. I leave it on for hours, nobody plays. I made sure I had maps and such loaded, and it's your average 4v4 CTF with medium sized levels and the single rocket fire mutator so I don't think people were purposely avoiding the game. The best thing I can't think of is that maybe my router is causing trouble. The port 7777 isn't blocked by the firewall, but our IP actually goes to the router, it assigns our computers and the three computers go through it to the internet. Is this causing the problem? And yes, I know that having other people use the ADSL line while the server is running makes nightmares. I plan to run the server while nobody's online. Thank you. |

First go down to medium detail and that should help a lot. You really don't have enough RAM for high detail. Turn off detail textures. If that does not help then drop down to 16bit color.
Did you make sure that the advertise server box was checked. If it is not then no one will see your server. |

Also I dont think your system would be able to handle 4vs4 that well.

"Also I dont think your system would be able to handle 4vs4 that well."
Why? I'll try turning down the detail from high to medium. Where do I turn off detail textures? I saw another thread that talked about disabled D3D prechache and changing cache size from 4MB to 20.. Should I try either of these? |

You don't really have the system to run a server, and only if you have a T1 dsl will people start seeing good enough pings to join. Its good and all that you want to start your own server, but I'm just letting ya know why you may not be getting the amount of traffic you might have thought. Oh, as far as your system goes its your processor and ram that's hurting ya. You should have at least 128megs to run any server, and a higher powered processor like a pII or III always helps.

Neighbors give thumbs down to proposed W. Seattle apartments
The developer says the lack of parking wasn't his choice and points a finger at the city.
The two homes, located on California Avenue, will soon come down, and neighbors are none too pleased.
"I don't want to see what that's going to look like," said Jasmine Underland.
The problem, according to neighbors, is that the new apartment complex won't add any new parking spaces, and that will make finding a spot even tougher.
"Well, where are they going to park? Because if you look around now there aren't that many parking spaces," said Olivette Foster.
They blame the apartment developer, but the CEO of Blueprint Capitol, Mark Knoll, said they should be angry at the city and themselves for not speaking up.
New condos and apartments are popping up throughout West Seattle, and Knoll said that's because there's a growing demand for smaller spaces.
In order to encourage affordable housing, city laws don't require smaller apartments to build parking garages in hopes that people will use public transportation.
Still, neighbors say they'll keep trying to fight this latest apartment complex, even if the developer says it's too late.
"Well, they do have meetings about the land proposals and what to do with it," Knoll said.
Knoll said he's just following the rules and said anyone who wants to change the rules should go to the City Council with their complaints.

I hope we get a really good response this year and lots of people sign up! We need at least 5 or 6 to make this work, or what I add to the box will come back to me, LOL!
Leaves, plantlets, whatever you have extra- can be included in the box. I'll start the box out with 25 DIFFERENT clearly labeled varieties, all named. Take what you want, REPLACE it with something, and please be generous. If something perishes in transit, replace it- this is a fantastic way to exchange varieties for the price of postage. I do require you to send it with delivery confirmation, it costs under a $1 and it so worth it, it allows us to track the box at all times, and proves you mailed it on to the next person.
Let's see who's interested in joining and let me know if we can start this right away- or should wait a few weeks (if it's cold in some areas) so far with my weather, it looks as though I can start this on Monday. I'll wait to see what Everyone has to say first.. I'm so ready for some new varieties! ;)

I've had a family fur tradgedy, our cat "Spooky" died (he was going to be 16 in August) sorry I haven't been able to check in every day. Spooky was a little black cat, loved to talk, and be with us every second. He was very pesty in his older years, but I loved it! When he first came to us from a pet shop, as a kitten- he was shy and hid- then with in months he loved to be with us constantly. The vet suspected kidney disease ($400) for a geriatric checkup, so Spooky lived out his life laying on our leather couches, basking on an afghan in the sun! Plus, devoured every tuna flavored cat food available, he loved variety and had no health problems with changing cat food. He lived a really good life! He was so shiny- his entire life looked like shiny black glass, you would of never knew how old he was! ;) He started to look more like a kitten in his golden years. He was the 'runt' of the litter and always small. He ate and talked with us (very vocal cat) until the day he died (two hours of quiteness, and died laying on a new cushion on our one of our oak kitchen chairs) when he passed, it was totally unexpected. The vet couldn't even give an exact diagnosis, she only guessed because of his age. His bloodwork came back fine. He just started to lose weight, other than that, he could jump and acted fine. I'm so sorry that I've put this on hold. I'll check my emails tonight and update the swap. Our weather did turn chilly again (40's last night and tonight) so I'll have to recheck the weather again to see if it's ok to ship the round robin. The way it looks, I'll start it wednesday or thursday. Eileen will be the first on the list, she's going to be out of time for a brief time, so I don't want problems with the box being 'on hold' for any amount of time, so it goes out to her first. I'll check my emails tonight, update the list and let everyone know exactly when it goes out. Deb |
Deb, Sorry for the loss of your special friend. It is always a very sad day when it happens, even if it is expected. We're ready whenever you think the time is right. Sue |

I'd like to join, if it's not too late... Lemme get this right on how this works, we get a box with tons of leaves. You take out what ever you want then put in the same number of different leaves then ship it to the next person? Sorry, this is the first one I have done! |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Mar 30, 12 at 12:27
Ok, I'm back and things are better.. We had a carpet company come to the house and install new carpet in the entire house (plus we had new hand scraped wood floors put in too) so I've been super busy. I still miss Spooky ;) the house is really quiet without him follwing me everywhere and meowing! I'm ready to start the swap, everything's back to normal. The order in which the box is going- Thanks so much for all the kind emails about Spooky. Fawnee, Ok, the fun is going to start really soon. Last minute emails- do them fast. The box route is already posted, it will not change! But, I can add a person or two to the end. IF we get a lot of interest, I can start one more box. Deb |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (email@example.com) on Fri, Mar 30, 12 at 21:34
Ok, Checked all my email, the swap is officially now CLOSED! I'm going to work on the paperwork, start to fill the box, etc. I'll do another swap soon, so please if your interested in doing a trade/swap with NAMED violets- bookmark this page! The swap lineup is- Will post a delivery confirmation number as soon as the box goes out on Monday. ~Swap closed~ Deb |

I filled our Round robin box up, as much as I could. It's ready to go to the post office in a few minutes. The delivery confirmation number is 0310 1230 0001 2195 8334 Eileen's first! Please post when the box arrives and goes back out. Also, post what you took, not what you add. Please be generous! Add what you can to make this swap really special and worth postage! Lots of really neat varieties in the box! At any time- please feel free to put everything in a bigger box. Get your supplies, soil ready- Eileen! Let the fun swapping begin! Deb |

Woo Hoo!!! Box came today. Lots of great leaves were in the box. Here's what I took out: Celery Neptune Blue Mint Vintage Lace Okie Easter Bunny Pixie Pink Bob's Omega Silverglade Bangles Playful Spectrum Sweet Lady Love Blue Lace sport species ioantha I also took the strep leaf. It was very wilted, so I have it soaking in water with a little sugar. Tomorrow I'll pot it up in some perlite and vermiculite and see how it goes. Box is ready to go out first thing in the morning. I'll post the del.conf # as soon as I get back from P.O. Debbie we have to do this again toward the fall. Thanks for the great selection of violet leaves. |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Apr 4, 12 at 20:03
I'm so glad you liked the choices I added. ;) The strep leaf was extra. It needed a good home, and should perk back up, allow it to sit overnight if it takes that long, remember that cinnamon dusted on any cut prevents rot on streps and violet leaves. Lost some of the variegation on the strep leaf- so hopefully it comes back. My plant room has been running a little warm lately, so my streps tend to lose variegation, but returns in late Fall/Winter. The leaf I sent was from a smaller strep that needed to be trimmed. I love Celery, Neptune- Species Ionantha! I'm sure they will become favorites of yours too! Deb |

OK Robin. Box is on it's way to you. Here's the tracking # so you can see how it's moving. Del. conf# 9405 5036 9930 0470 5061 00 Get your cups and soil ready! Eileen |
Can't wait! I need some advice on the upcoming week-end, however. I won't get this 'til later in the day tomorrow (Friday), and the next day will be Saturday. Should I mail it along on Saturday morning, or keep it until Monday morning and mail it early so I can personally watch the temps on it over Sunday? What do you think? ~ Robin |
- Posted by ima_digger 9 SE FL (My Page) on Fri, Apr 6, 12 at 15:23
I would mail it on Saturday. The post office moves things every day, even Sunday. So they say!!! If you wait until Monday, that's keeping them in the box two more days. |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (email@example.com) on Sat, Apr 7, 12 at 13:26
I checked the delivery confirmation number, the box was delivered on Friday. ;) I'm sure Robin's busy planting- and having fun going through the box! I would of mailed it on Saturday too. The post office does work on Sunday (keeps the mail sorted/traveling) so the box would of arrived either Monday or Tuesday. Robin, This is sooo much fun! Oh, forgot to mention- the address list of participants is in the box. Hugs, |
I took 3; Island Breeze, Bryte Bubbles, and Opt. Little Amethyst. Replaced them with 5. Very excited to start these and see them in person! Spoke with a friend of a friend who works at my local little PO; after the convo I thought it wise to safe-guard them myself over the weekend so I am now taking the box to the PO so it will be loaded tonight when it's cooler. Tricia, it's on its way to you! |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Apr 11, 12 at 15:00
Checking to see if there are any updates on our little round robin! ;) Deb |
Deb, Trisha should have received it today. I so hope I didn't mess up by keeping the box over the week-end. After the convo with the PO guy, I really thought it was the thing to do. As it was, there were a few leaves in the box that were getting a little ripe when I received it : [ Keeping my fingers crossed! ~ Robin |
No I did not receive it today but that does not surprise me. It usually takes 3 days for things like this to reach me unless it is from a state nearby. Tricia |
04/08/2012 05:02 PM CDT Delivery Confirmation # 9405 5036 9930 0473 6700 99 |
I did get it today. Many of the leaves are rotten, some are wilted enough not to ship out but may survive. A few are good. Looks like I will be keeping practically everything & replacing with new leaves. Don't feel bad Robin, not sure an extra day made any difference. Some of these would not have made it anyway! In good condition: Okay: May be Salvageable: All others not listed: I'll send some new ones tomorrow. Good luck everyone! Tricia |
Oh, dear! It's really too bad that so many didn't travel well, but I'm learning that survival of the leaves in these RRs is rather luck of the draw - dependent on so many variables. Good luck with all the leaves that you are trying to save, Tricia. I'll be looking forward to the new leaves you are adding to the box. I should be getting it late next week. |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 13, 12 at 17:24
Round robins are so much fun as long as the leaves/babies are doing well in the box! It's not so much fun when the stuff comes in the box 'iffy'.. So sorry Tricia, I hope you can save a lot of it! Remember to cut off everything rotten, dust with cinnamon. The cinnamon will stop rot. Other than that, thanks so much for repairing the robin/refilling it! I started the box out with 26 varieties/violets, 1 strep leaf. Not too sure I'll ever do this again. We had the same problems last time when the box came back. Lots of stuff was dead. Hopefully, things do a turn-around and go well up until the end. Deb |
I'm thinking maybe it only works if each person takes everything that comes to them and replaces it. Of course, if it was done that way we would probably not start out with as many varieties. Anyway, I mailed the box this afternoon. I don't know where I put the confirmation number but when I find it I will post it. Unfortunately it's been one of those days that didn't go well. So I ran out of time and had to take the box to the post office without reaching the 25 leaf number. Still, I think there is a pretty good selection in the box. Just wish I'd had time to add more. Tricia |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (email@example.com) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 17:20
Tricia, Thank you! ;) Can't wait to hear the selections you chose from the box, Sue! |
I was just thinking about the Red Robin Exchange today...I am glad I stopped by to check!!! I cant wait to receive the box, thanks Tricia for shipping it out. No problem, about the # of leaves, I will add some extras to the box. thanks, |
Here is the confirmation number: 0311 2550 0003 0628 2794 Most of the leaves I kept are hanging in there so far. Some of them are in water instead of soil, until I see if they get strong enough to put in soil. Tricia |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (email@example.com) on Mon, Apr 16, 12 at 19:13
I checked on the DC number and the box arrived at Minals today! :) Deb |
Yes!! I did receive the box today. Thanks Tricia for the great choices. I took out the below leaves: Ness Dynomite I have replaced them with the same number I took out and also added another 11 leaves, so the box should be back to our original 25 total leaves. The box will ship out tomorrow afternoon to Sue. The delivery confirmation # is 9405 5036 9930 0482 6426 36. I printed the postage from USPS website, so the tracking information should be updated by tomorrow evening. Minal |
Fantastic! Minal, great choices, and Tricia, you did a very nice job refilling the box. Now, it's my turn, and I should have the box here by Thursday or Friday afternoon. :) |
- Posted by debbya z4IL (email@example.com) on Thu, Apr 19, 12 at 12:54
Minal, Wow what nice choices! I have Candy Fountain and love it! It makes such a nice self forming trailer! L'Heure bleu and Festive Holiday is another few of my favorites. ;) Festive Holiday has mosaic foliage if I'm remembering correctly. I love it for the foliage alone! Very exciting reading about what's in the box! Sue should be receiving it soon. Deb |
Well, I thought I posted last night, but somehow it didn't take! So, quick note for now. I got the box yesterday afternoon and did a quick scan of the contents. Everything looked good and nothing needed to be discarded. I grabbed the one leaf of 'Chanticleer' since I have really been wanting this one and it needed some rehydrating. I have gone through and googled most, and will finish in a bit. Then add my own, pack it up and back to the PO this afternoon. I'll post again once it's gone with the DC number. Sue |

Thanks Sue for being so quik I hope I get the box Sat.Can"t wait Pat Violets are like potato chips can"t have just one. |
OK, Pat, the box is on its way to you, and it is stuffed full. Be prepared to drool! The tracking number is 0312 0090 0000 3248 4118 You will probably get it Monday. Several of the leaves I took had quite a few in the baggie, so I took two and there were still more left to send on. I think everything looks pretty good, so I hope it continues that way. These are the leaves I took: These are some great varieties, so thanks to all my RR buddies for contributing them to the box. Thanks to you, Deb, for hosting again! It's lots of fun. Sue |

Wow, what nice varieties! Wranglers ragtime cowboy! Tea's Irish green fields! Nice job filling the box! ;) Deb |

Hi Pat, Yes, Beloit is one block from Ferdinand. ;) WOW--- LOL! I'm sure I'll love whatever you put in the box! I'm sure your Husband's going to love the hollyhock seeds, they are gorgeous! And basically self seed! You found some wonderful selections-- I'm soooo excited that the box is coming back home! I'll post when it does and let everyone know what I ended up with! Hugs, |
What a great haul, Pat! All those varieties were sooooo tempting, but I had to limit the number I could take 'cause I'm really running out of space! But I love growing babies and I got some really good ones to take care of. Deb, there should be a whole lot of goodies coming your way. Hope it makes up for the disappointment of last fall. Thanks again, for being a great hostess! I love these RRs. Sue |

The box came back today- I LOVE all the varieties in the box! I did a quick count and there were 30 varieties! Mostly all of them have a few leaves! Every one of them traveled well and look great! Thanks to all of you- that participated! I'll post tomorrow the list of what I received. It's been such a long day-- and I'm exhausted! A few minutes ago a few birds were screaming by my window, I went out there with a flashlight and found a baby bird. I just picked up a basket of petunias so picked up the baby robin- placed him in the center of the basket- hung him In the tree by the mom- and now she's happy. It's a myth about handling a baby bird, birds have no scense of smell, so will continue taking care of the baby even after handling. I'll post more tomorrow and list all the box contents! This round robin turned out really good... I'm so happy to have some new varieties to grow! Deb |

Ionantha (wanted this one, I previously had it and lost it, love the species!) Blue Dragon Trinket skies Neon Fantasy Morgan's Little Linny Jolly Disco Kermit Sparkle berry Thanks so much, Everyone-- for adding such a neat variety of leaves. :) ALL of them look fantastic and are happily planted. |
Fantastic, Deb! Glad you got such a great variety of healthy and happy leaves to get growing! And good for you for saving that baby bird. I'll be looking forward to the fall swap, and we can do it all again. Sue |

I hope everyone's leaves are doing well, babies too! Whatever was in the box. ;) I'm excited about our Fall round robin. I'll definately start it, unless someone else wants to. Make sure you check this forum when the temps start cooling off. I have a feeling we are going to have a very hot summer- it's been such a mild spring so far/winter too. Deb |

Deb, you got a great collection. Just wanted to give you a BIG THANKS for doing this RR. Your RRs are always great. I just got back from my grandsons wedding in Staten Island NY, and tending to my gessies. They survived me being away for almost two weeks. Thanks to wick and mat watering. Trays were empty but plants looked good. They drank up the water I put in trays and mats. I removed all flowers and buds before I left, just in case some dried up or rotted and fell into trays. I didn't want to take any chances of losing any. Now I have to get busy and read all the posts from the forums I belongs to. It will probably take me a few days. LOL I'll be checking back here patiently awaiting the fall RR. What a fun way to collect more plants. Thanks again for a GREAT RR!!! Eileen |

M.F. Doom ends his rhyming hiatus after a three-year absence since his last release, Born Like This. Originally born in the U.K., Doom was denied entry back into the U.S. after travelling with a U.K. visa, forcing him to stay in London, where he recorded the entirety of his new record, J.J. Doom. A collaboration with Lex Records' artist Jneiro Jarel, Doom rhymes, while Jarel produces each track. No stranger to Marvel Comics lore, the album is cleverly set off with another sample from their 70′s kids' record catalog of J. Jonah Jameson saying, "I hate it, but some people call me J.J….." Yes, Doom is back. [cont.]
Although Doom does not produce the album himself, and he's stuck in the U.K., he's taken full advantage of his situation and made lemons out of lemonade. Jarel's production fits Doom perfectly, and his new neighborhood has acted as some brilliant source material, inspiring songs like "Guv'nor" and "(Cockney) Rhymin' Slang". His situation also acts as the basis for "Banished", a noisy, bouncy track that where he laments "Brother got banished, refused out the U.S., he ain't even Spanish…". Meanwhile, "Wash Your Hands" lends some garage-bounce typically more suited for Dizzee Rascal or Tinie Tempah, yet Doom proceeds to make mince pie out of the track.
But most of all, Doom tapped some people in his new backyard for some subtle collaborations. Gorillaz/Blur frontman Damon Albarn appears briefly on "Bite The Thong", while Portishead vocalist Beth Gibbs lends her haunting vocals to "GMO", perhaps the album's best track, in a bittersweet, hip-hop first.
Jneiro's production is heavy, and may not be as accessible as Doom's solo catalog of more familiar-yet-obscure samples. Sewn together with a series of strange vocal sample interludes, it lends a different sound for Doom, but one that works extremely well. The dancehall flavored "Bout The Shoes" or the hypnotic "Viberian Sun Part II", for instance, don't feature verses from Doom, but fit in well with the context of the rest of the album, allowing Jarel to get equal time to shine.
J.J. Doom is yet another satisfying collaborative LP for Metal Face Doom. It sits well next to Madvillainy and Danger Doom in his catalog, and carries on the legacy of Doom's catalog. Now if we could just get that Doom Starks record…..
When I first heard Banished I was kinda worried. But after Rhymin' Slang, Winter Blues, Guv'nor, and Retarded Fren leaked my faith was restored. Also heard the 5 track sampler that leaked a week or two before the album came out which had Wash Your Hands on it. Been really digging this album a lot. Only track I'm not feeling is the Khujo one. 4/5 for me.
I gotta agree with most, this was somewhat of a let down. Not sure exactly what I was expecting but this just didn't grab me and I have no interest in listening to it again.
Im not hating on the production, I'm not all the familiar with JJ , but to me it doesn't matter, DOOM is spittin venom on the entire album. It's certainly a breathe of fresh air to hear him rhyme as the album has gotten numerous plays from me since Tuesday, 8.5/10 for me.
Damn I didn't realize that was Khujo on that cut. I just knew it sounded like someone from my hood (SWATL). Not the best Doom can do by a long shot, still superior to the deaf, dumb, and blind 85% of nonsense in Hip-Hop today.
this album grows on you. I didn't like it at first, but it really sunk in. felt that bout madvillain too

For people living in California, the last couple of years have brought a lot of news and concerns about wildfires. The state has seen its share of wildfires during that time, which has many people re-evaluating their insurance plans to make sure they are adequately covered. This is more than just a smart move, it is an essential one that all homeowners and automobile owners should be making in order to assure that they are fully covered. The last thing you want is to lose your home or car to a wildfire only to discover that you lack proper insurance coverage to have it replaced.
Why Proper Coverage? Most of the time, people do not realize they are short on insurance coverage until it is too late. That is definitely not the time to be evaluating your insurance policy for what is covered in a fire. There is no better time than the present to check your policy and see what fire coverage you have. If you are not sure, check with your insurance company to verify it.
If you are unsure whether you need fire insurance, be forewarned that you certainly do. There is no way to know where the next wildfire will strike, so it is better to be safe than sorry. People need to realize that roughly $8.6 billion worth of property loss occurs each year due to fires, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
What to Get If you do not yet know if you have fire coverage, check your homeowners insurance policy first. See what all is covered there before determining whether you need additional coverage or changes to your existing policy. Find out if your contents are covered, as well as your vehicle if it is on the property and is part of the loss in a wildfire. If you need to acquire fire insurance coverage, start by getting quotes from several companies. Compare each to see what is offered, as well as what the deductibles are and the overall policy cost. You will also want to take into consideration the reputation of the company and the ease with which they handle claims.
The Safe Route Many people have lost their property in the past few years due to wildfires. Taking the safe route to ensure you are properly covered for fire damage and loss is not only smart, but can save you money down the road.

I am new to gardening and I started an organic container garden on my patio a few months ago, South Florida. I planted the Zucchini seeds in March and the plant was doing fine until a few weeks ago. A few of the leaves started turning yellow and dying and now the tiny flower buds are also dying before opening. I transplanted to a larger pot a few days ago and checked for root rot and other pests but no obvious signs. I get about 3-4 hours of sunlight per day. Below is a link to pictures of my plant. Please help!! This is disheartening for a new gardener!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/35574258@N05/ Thank you. |

The Husband Guy says that it sounds like too much fertilizer. however, he also said that 3-4 hours of sun is not enough. If it got very hot where you are, a container pot could dry out very quickly. At any rate, I suspect that transplanting it did more harm than good. Sorry, but I think you need to forget this one and start over. He says that where you are, in South Florida, you would not have to worry about the last freeze date and could plant much earlier than March. |

The Senior Ensemble class poses during a rehearsal for the holiday show "A Carpenter's Son" at the Ballet 5:8 School of the Arts in Frankfort, Illinois, Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. | Karen Gioia~For Sun-Times Media

I hope Ballet 5:8's inaugural production, "The Carpenter's Son," is just the beginning of many performances. The faith-based ballet company sounds like just what the Southland needs.
Tinley Park has done a great job decorating downtown for Christmas. I took my grandkids. They enjoyed it. It was beautiful.

With President Obama and Congress locked in talks over the fiscal cliff, I tend to think of it more like a kamikaze, or "divine wind." The only thing is the divine wind coming out of Washington, D.C., stinks.

Let me get this straight. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs takes a whole industry and moves it to Asia where he gets cheap labor, brings the product back here and makes enormous profits. When he dies we eulogize him in the newspapers for months. Everyone thinks that is OK. But a fallen firefighter or police officer who gets a couple of days in the newspapers gets a bunch of people complaining about all the praise that person is getting. A firefighter deserves just as much respect or more than Jobs. All Jobs did was make a lot of money for himself.
We are in such a mess in this state of Illinois. It's all because of the politicians. They made the laws that have put us billions in debt. They do not care about the common people. All they care about is themselves and their pensions. When they leave office they are not held accountable for anything. We are all doomed in this state. The only thing we can do is move out of Illinois. But how is that going to work out for you when you try to sell your home these days?

I hope people looking for a pet during this Christmas season will visit their local animal shelter. Please do not buy from a pet shop. If you are inclined to buy from a pet shop, please be aware there is a law in effect called the pet store disclosure bill. You should have access to any information about any dog in that shop prior to purchase. Some will tell you that you are not entitled to that information or they will not give it to you. You should report this to the Department of Agriculture and your local police department.
The demise of the Twinkie as we know it is here. But all the manufacturers need to do is use the same formula and add vitamins and caffeine. What will emerge is Twinkies Plus. Health-food stores would clamor for this product with its name recognition. Fannie May made a comeback. The infamous Twinkie can do the same. Through the years there was never a recall of Hostess Brands products. Hostess employees should be commended for their exemplary reputation.

Rich from Orland Park
More in response to Grace from Mount Greenwood's comment that all policemen and firemen risk their lives daily: Everyone who works does not somehow get around the laws by taking greater than their fair share from their neighbors, and they are important to society. Policemen and firemen and very well-trained to do their job safely and are very well-paid. They all knew ahead of time what the job entailed. Get off it! None of these people were drafted against their will to perform these jobs. It is only a job, nothing else. No one person is greater than anyone else.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has stated that black people and Latinos disproportionately fill our prison cells. Has she ever thought that perhaps black people and Latinos disproportionately commit the majority of crimes? I am so tired of hearing this same argument about how jails are the intersection of racism and poverty. I agree with the poverty part. But people bring on this stuff themselves.
There are some citizens who are laid off or who have lost their job who now depend on government assistance in order to feed their children or to pay bills. Some people depend on the Link card just to get by. I have been working since I was 16 years old. I am a taxpayer. Just because I've been laid off does not mean I'm a freeloader, lazy, scamming the system or anything else people have been complaining about.
Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds stated that everyone deserves a second chance. Not you, Mr. Reynolds. You had a chance and you blew it. Anyone who takes advantage of an underage girl gets just what they deserve. Just go away.

A Speak Out commenter said losing your memory is a blessing in disguise because you can go to the same vacation spot every year and it's a new experience because you don't remember. This person has a very sick sense of humor, if you want to call it that. I had three relatives and a close friend who died due to Alzheimer's disease.

Why are professional boxers, who have fought numerous bouts in a vicious sport, not claiming concussions like all the football and hockey players? Boxers take the most punishment of all the contact sports. Sometimes they can take 60 or more blows to the head yet I haven't read or heard of these gladiators crying concussions all the time. Figure that one out.

my clausa squared ... clausa var clausa is about 8 by 8 FEET ... has swallowed 6 or 8 surrounding hosta ... and has the most glorious pink and purple flowers ken |
sounds like I can replace one of my Lancifolia floats with clausa. I really love the deep purple flowers, and there are a lot of them. Les |

Undulata! It seems that every landscape that my family came in to contact with had an undulata and it came to me! In my front bed are 8 undulata(but these came from my dead Aunts' house and thankfully they are the good looking ones with three colors) and now that my dad moved to our area he gave me 5 more (not so good looking undulatas plain green and white). I guess this isn't the same though, huh?! ;) I just can't wait til I can "gift" them to someone else! |
Les, Here's a H. clausa var. normalis root from last year. Yes, it was potted, thank goodness, but this gives you an idea of how rhizomatous it can be and how quickly and widely it potentially can spread. Pieter |
Would you rather have clausa spec. normalis (see blossoms in 1st photo) or vinca minor as a ground cover? Les |
I consider August Moon kind of in the "invasive" category in my yard because it is such a fast increaser that I can't keep up with how often it needs to be split so it won't swallow up the hostas next to it. I have it in multiple places because I use it to "tie together" the landscape. When I split it(which is like digging in cement), I plant one with 2-3 eyes and plenty of room between it and the next plant, and two years later it has S P R E A D to 20 eyes and swallowing up everything again! It absolutely thrives on neglect, too! I have given clumps of it to my sister to feed the deer. However, I would NOT consider completely getting rid of it or sorry I got it. |

'Rhizomatous'. Such an education I'm getting. Now I have to figure out what good it does to be old and smart. Christine |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 3, 12 at 17:36
Rhizomes are modified stems that run underground, allowing the plant (i.e. H. Clausa) to reproduce itself asexually. Stolons are modified stems that do the same thing but they run above ground. I'm pretty sure that H. Clausa is rhizomatus not stoloniferous. Steve |
I aagree. I couldn't remember which when I did my research on it. Strangely, when I was reading about clausa var. normalis, nothing was included about spreading undergreound (beyond the crown increasing in size) but under clausa var. clausa, I think which doesn't flower, it is mentioned. The other variety of clausa (can't remember the var.) has flowers but they don't open and it is also mentioned it is rhizomatus. So I assumed normalis is also. Steve-help with the three variations please. Les |

Pieter is much more knowledgeable about H. clausa than I am. I don't grow it. This is from the Library. clausa is a Korean species known in Japan as Tsubomi Giboshi, meaning "closed flower ball ( = bud) hosta." It is also known under the name clausa var. clausa. It occurs in central and northern Korea and is the form with closed flowers. According to Schmid, plants with this form are very rare in the wild. It and clausa var. normalis are basically the same species, although the former is a sterile triploid and the later a fertile diploid. Steve |

Ken, you should send a photo of that to the Hosta Library! Deanna |
I've never met a hosta I'd call invasive as I find them relatively easy to chop back if they are rhizomatous. I do have two that are particularly apt to form disorganized colonies rather than neat clumps... kikutii yakusimensis and Otome No Ka |
There are 5 subspecies of clausa, you will find 4 of them in this PDF on the HL and the 5th one is here. I received my original plant as a NOID a number of years ago and initially I thought it might have had 'Lancifolia' on my hands, but the flowers ultimately ended up clinching it.

My Clausa spreads pretty well,but it is in an area where it doesn't affect any other hostas. I put it there years ago,to make a ground cover. Stiletto spreads,but I would hardly call it invasive. I kinda like the way it spreads. Phil |
Could you post a picture of your spread (pref. in bloom), and maybe a close-up of your clausa hosta freak? Les |

Yellow Splash Rim ! It's in a lot of sun and has a weeping hose buried past it, and I have to carve it to pot up for others every spring. Better that than the alternative, huh?? hh |

Application Tips
Entire contents of a one pint can of NBS-30 should be added to 5 gallons of paint or stain.

Yes! NBS-30 can be mixed with water and sprayed on any stained or painted wood surface. Mix a one pint container of NBS 30 with five gallons of water and apply the product with pump sprayer. When this mixture is applied to wood in an exposed area it is subject to being washed off in a heavy rain. Reapply as necessary every 30 to 60 days.

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. | 38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. |
39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. | 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. |
40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." | 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself ? Tell her to help me!" |
41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; | 41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, |
42 there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her." | 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." |

Jumping BoAs and Kpop Fan Groups
We've discovered a new and scary thing in Korea: K-pop fan groups. Our experience with them first began on a small scale two years ago with our How to Dance Kpop 2008 video when a TVXQ fan group thought we were mocking Mirotic (which we weren't. It's one of our all time favourite kpop songs) and we were shocked to receive some angry angry comments from angry 14 year old girls. Most recently, our video on U-Kiss also got a whole lot of angry comments from a bunch of members from their fan group. They thought we offended a member from U-Kiss after he mentioned our video in a Twitter post, and this caused some of the fan group members to supposedly cry while watching our video. Wow. Totally bizarre. And so our final consensus is: Kpop fan groups are scary.
We were at the Asia Song Festival on the weekend and got to see some awesome acts, including 4Minute, Kara, 2AM, B2ST, Rain, and BoA. All were great. B2ST was fantastic, Rain was unbelievable, and BoA was, well, we don't know. When BoA went on, we couldn't hear the show. Like, not at all. Why? Because the people you see in the video were sitting right behind us screaming the whole time. And not regular screaming. It was cold outside, and one of the girls was screaming so much that her face was covered in sweat. No joke. The screaming you see in this video is one tenth of how much they were screaming during the performances. In this video, they're screaming because BoA's about to come back on stage. Yeah.
Anyhow, this isn't something we're used to seeing, so we thought it'd be interesting to put up a video about it. We've been to lots of concerts ourselves for bands we really, really like, but have never seen people screaming like this, or ever felt the urge to scream ourselves, except for that one time when Martina went to a free Hanson concert a million years ago and supposedly the only sound she heard was "WAHHHHHHHHHH". *Cough* probably because she was the one doing all the screaming :D
Filed Under:
WTF Korea-
They didn't seem that bad… of course, it's what they do when the singer/actor isn't working that's the problem…
I'd really love to know WHY these people so… obsessed – is it the way the companies are marketing the idols, or is there something lacking in the lives of these people? -
They are so into BoA that they don't even notice you video taping them. That's hilarious!
Everytime I heard the fan's screams and chants (especially ELF, I'm an ELF), it always gives me goosebumps and I feel really high, maybe because i love super junior so much.
i've never been to their concerts, i always watch on youtube.. i hope i will get one chance to be in one of their concert and feel what it is like :D -
What I see and hear in that video is nothing at all compared to some Shawols and ELFs… Don't worry, Simon and Martina, you have seen NOTHING at all. Try going to Super Junior or BigBang's concerts sometime and you'll see what I mean.
Yeah there are fans like those everywhere. When I went to the first JYJ world tour in NYC it was crazy screaming like that the entire time but it was totally different when I went in NJ. We screamed when they came out yet but when they sang every got quiet so we could hear them.
lol I think it's like that everywhere — typical crazy fans. I went to SMTOWN '10 in Los Angeles and the girls next to us kept screaming like crazy when DBSK, SuJu, or SHINee came out which was like 80% of the time. I lost my hearing and I could not hear the songs at all. :( I forgot to bring earplugs and I don't think I'll ever forget again for any other concert.
Typical kpop concerts I've been to  = very very very loud screaming and even louder music. Everything's so loud that the singer's sound like they inhaled helium. :))
I'm sorry to hear you had such bad experiences with fan groups. I've met a lot of good people through fan groups, but it always seems that the crazy ones rear their ugly heads towards the nicest people. There's no humour with the more….'dedicated' fans these days.
I heard Kevin of U-KISS really likes your videos though xD
To be honest this is kind of pathetic. These fans treat their idol singers (or in BoA's case singers) like Gods. They are just singers not Gods. Calm the :X down.
Also about the angry fans, don't worry about them. They are just butt hurt or in harsher terms losers. Everyone has their own opinions. When it gets to the point where you're crying when someone gives an honest review about your idol singer, then you know you need to get a life. -
Actually, there are not that scary compare to other videos that you can find on the internet.
I heart so many awful things about korean fans, presents that they gave, what they said…
Must be though to be a Korean star (I won't even talk about the suicide rate…)but I still think that French fans are worse… =__='
Ha! Really? French fans are worse? Wow!
I bet you guys had a headache after that concert! Yikes! I'm a BoA fan but I don't scream THAT loud at her concerts! >_<
omg. the girl in the red sweatshirt looks like shes hyperventilating
I screamed like that at the SMTOWN concert in LA. I love me some BoA :)
I love kpop but i totally hate kpop fanclubs. Some of them are soooo unreasonable & kinda pathetic actually. I don't hate the fans but those thorns among the roses… Was 1st a fan of many group but then i found out that some fans from the group started bashing some other groups that i like too! (I actually like almost all the bands) I felt disgusted by those comments and decided not to be a fan anymore. I'm a SUPPORTER instead!! The music industry & the fan clubs are just madness… Totally scary people… TOTALLY!!
I mean, those artists put in so much in training dancing, singing, acting and even hosting! Yet, some people just can't give them some air to BREATHE!! Shesh! (Sorry i just felt very unfair about the whole situation. I just hope that some fans can be more understanding and more harmonious)Anyways, Simon and Martina! I love your 'Music Mondays'! Waiting for the up coming one!! =D
eh. fans will never be understanding and harmonious. its like saying no one is racist.
Yeah, that is quite scary. Ah!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 아 너무 웃겨요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Oh lol okay, kpop fans never fail to surprise me. Like really, when I heard about the "SHINee accident" my first thought was something along the lines of "Poor guys, they won't ever get away with that. Especially the girl…" and I was right. So sad. But attacking you as well? Woahh… (and here I thought KissMes were at least quite normal…)
All I can say is, wow. The screaming girls here in the America have nothing on the Kpop fans. I downloaded BoA's new album last week. I love how she mixes languages in her songs.
My Canadian/American boyfriend told me that if you go traveling you should always put a Canadian flag on your bag because then the foreigners will leave you alone. Guess people hate us Americans : (But seriously, if you think that is bad, news broke out that one of the SHINee members has a girlfriend now. Have you heard the fangirls hating over there? They are drinking the haterade like CRAAAZAY!
oooh yea. foreigns generally have the perception that american are stuck-ups. especially in europe. im american and i agree
Yeah, we heard about it. It's quite disturbing. Really quite disturbing. Poor girl does nothing wrong, and people are gonna trash her because of raging jealousy. Utterly bewildering. Is the guy getting any flack for it at all?
Nah. Everyone "supports" Jonghyun from what I've heard. Probably because the guy fans aren't nearly as psycho as the girls.
@dokdoisours – go away you troll. you're annoying :)
Ha! It's just his schtick. Seems like he's not getting a good reception here. Sorry dokdoisours! Please come back for more :D
Sukyung: I kiss your internets! Happy kpop to you!
I totally thought it was a dinosaur too. Ignore the flamers and keep up the great work Simon and Martina! I haven't been back to "my motherland" for almost 10 years and you guys are providing a vitual tour for me through these videos! You guys are hilarious. I love your meatball sub graphic. Keep on postin'!!
I will scream like those girls if I meet you guys!!!!!!!! Oppa!!! Unni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm your big fan!!!!!! ……………… just kidding:) but I do love you guys♡ BTW I just hope that not many Korean people watch this video, especially those girls in the video!!… They might be offended, seriously.. and you know, people become even more scary on internet. I don't want you guys to be a target of Korean internet madness…
Ha! I swear, if anyone ran up to us like that I'd probably laugh until I cry :D
Don't get fooled by this fake Korean guy. You would know what I mean after some research on this guy. There are tons of fake Koreans on the internet. They pretend to be Korean but actually they aren't. Their aim is provoking non-Koreans who have interests in Korea and planting bad impression to non-Koreans.
BTW, thanks for the videos. Almost all the videos you posted so far were very insightful and interesting even to the native Koreans like myself.
Dear John (it's Dear John letter! kkk)
If my's really pretend to artificial Korean, I'm do bad job at it. If you're read to my blog, clearly it's full the native english level write, and variety point of view, so reason I'm only put this kind message to Canadian Ken and Barbie message is because I'm sure they know my the blog already and know it's only jest. If you're do the "research" you can see my write is harmless… plus, nobody actually read my blog (trust me it's a true) – mostly just find my page after google "michelle wie"
Thank for your no sense of humor though. It make me smile too.
Ha! Yeah, don't worry. I know his blog. Thanks for looking out for us, though :D
ew… korean teenage fans o: I love DBSK too (I'm 21 years) but.. your review about dance, sing and groups.. is so funny XD.. seriously, I'm your fan… I think you should ignore those stupid comments of humorless girls who think their idols are like God. Whatever :D eat your kimchi.. great!!
If you think this is bad, you should see the girl who was at the 2PM fan signing a few days ago. Her level of fandom madness is AMAZING.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kFNA0cBXe8 <– Video with poor Taec looking like he wants to run away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu5UwwPhNyk <– Full audio of her with almost all the guys. Honestly, it's amazing.-
Yeah I just saw that. It's totally disturbing. Like, I don't even think I can laugh about this, even though I want to. I feel bad for 2PM, but even worse for the girl.
According to the internet (which never lies :P) she's just faking it and does this as a joke with them. Which might explain why Junho's reaction is AWESOME.
But fake or not, the girl is scary and full of crazy.-
Yeah, I kinda don't believe that. If she is faking it, she's a damned good actress.
L…M….A…OFF! That was hilarious! Kinda seemed forced though… But they have a point BoA is amazing! And I didn't really get it was that dokdoisours comment a joke or for real?.. But I hope you don't get tracked down anyway, otherwise where else am I gonna get my Kpop music mondays!
… They actually sound like some friends and I that one time we went to see Mettallica xD xD By the time the concert was over and we were clamoring for "one last song", that is.
This is insane!!! I feel bad for your poor ears!!! Heck, imagine if there was a whole group of them including some guy fans o_O
Yeah to be honest I'm not into KPOP, but some people in my country (one of the SEA country) are die-hard fans :P. One article can be a battlefield between fans, antis, and even so-called-neutral-ones. So better keep my mouth shut about these KPOP stars.
BTW I watched your how to dance kpops and music reviews, and I don't find it offensive at all. It was fun :D
Keep up the good work Guys!-
Thanks Ami :D
Wait until they track you down – I hear it's a common thing in Korea for die-hard fans to track down those who offend their idols. And wft, Jonghyun just made his relationship with an actress public and that actress is being backlashed. The funny part is that it's never the male being backlashed lol
I just read about that as well. Not sure why everyone's ripping into that poor girl…
Well, to be nice and honest, 'most' of Jonghyun fans were being pretty reasonable and mature and replied to all the flaming the poor girl was getting in her cyworld in her defense, saying that they should at least respect the privacy of Jonghyun – and when Shin Se Kyung finally closed it down, people from the SHINee fanclub said it was a good idea, because she shouldn't have to suffer through that.
Even so, these fans are the kind of fans who end up making people so tired of a certain singer/group that *they* become anti-fans. They're not a nice crowd.
I thought you were going to include the issue about Shinee's Jong Hyun and Shin Se Kyung who revealed that they were dating today. Of course the fans were outraged and Shin Se Kyung had to shut down her cyworld. Scary…
I wanted to watch the Asia Song Festival too but we opted to go to Namsan that night. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the show aside from your encounter with the jumping Boas.
The rest of the show was awesome :D Too bad you didn't come!
Why are you hate the Kpop? Kpop sing is the truly Korean truly! If you're mock the kpop sing especially boa (she am my angel: I am marry one day) then I make the every boa fan come to your a website and make hate to your internets!
Everybody know kpop is the Korea special thing, and true Korean is love all! So not hatefully to our 5000 years kpop heritage or go home to america. Korea is the peaceful, lovely lovely country, so don't mockery or humiliation to the korea, korea kpop, or we destroy!
Thank you for read my essay.
lol they are canadian!
-_-* are you joking, or are you serious?-
Dear Mimi
Of course very serious. I am never joke to topic such as ms. boa my lovely and wife (I hope).
Dear Eatyourkimchi: maybe Canadian usa is my confusing sometimes. Like I'm sometimes confuse lettuce and cabbage when make the sandwichi (ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹). But as you know, Korean dinosaur very peaceful: number one!
It's true. Many people think we're American. Sometimes when we're outside people see us and say "Migookin." S'why we wear Canadian flags on our bags now :D
Ha! I almost fell for it until I read your name. I know the kind of games you play…
Very thank. Do you want to friend? I'm want to have a foreigner friend so that practicing English. Also my nephew middle school is very smart boy. Can you the tutoring at him?
As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Dokdoisours…you know, I can't even finish that thought, because I looked at your name and thought it was the name of a dinosaur, like "Dokdoisaurus Rex" and I got totally distracted. Awesome. I like dinosaurs. Yes, we can be friends now because of your awesome name.
See more comments!

I have read the postings on Stihl vs Mantis Mini Tillers posting that was on in 2007 now I would like to know the PRO'S and CON'S on the Stihl MM55, Mantis and Honda Mini Tillers that are on the market today. Back than not to many had the Stihl most of the one's that give their testimony's had Mantis Mini Tillers.
Since than allot could have changed and today we have the Stihl, Mantis and Honda Mini Tillers. I am a big fan of Honda's, but as you know Mantis also uses the Honda engine on their tillers also. Comparing all 3 of these tillers which one is built rock solid, I am talking about which tiller will cut through hard clay soil? Which tiller is built for hard construction use? That can be for landscaping or any other everyday hard working jobs? I looked at the Honda and Stihl tillers and I noticed that the wheels on the Honda was not solid where the wheels on the Stihl was very solid. Not sure about the Mantis. Which of the 3 tillers are built for commercial use, I am talking about the construction of the whole tiller? Not one that is built for light weight jobs one does around the home and put away for the season. I need one that will give me years of hard use. I don't need a big tiller for the work for it is too big. Like you have heard before. you want a tiller that will give you the most for your dollar. You do not want to be fixing one every time you turn around. |

Don't know a thing about the Stihl. Do have experience with both the Mantis and Honda. NEITHER of them will work well in heavy clay soil - they are simply too light, and will bounce completely off the ground at times. I have heavy clay soil, and have to use my Troy Horse to break it up. My mini-tiller is used for cultivation in established beds. My impression is that neither is intended for commercial or industrial use. Not sure about the Mantis, but the wheels on my Honda are intended for transport only, so they don't have to be super sturdy to wheel a 25-pound machine around. I never install the wheels because the tiller is easy enough to pick up and carry. Both the Mantis and Honda are sturdy and reliable, when used for their intended purpose, but I doubt that they would hold up to the usage you are proposing. |
- Posted by little_acorn (My Page) on Sun, Jul 24, 11 at 21:28
Which one do you really like the best? Which one gave you trouble free use? Do you have the Honda motor on your Mantis? If you were to buy just one which one would you take over the other and why? |
- Posted by twelvegauge 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 25, 11 at 11:32
Okay, my experience is with the Mantis and Honda mini-tillers. I own a Honda and a good friend has a Mantis. We have both used each other's machines quite a bit. My Honda has a 4-cycle engine, and his Mantis is 2-cycle. I don't know who manufactured the Mantis 2-cycle engine. The Mantis 4-cycle is made by Honda. I see the two machines as equal. If I were buying a Mantis I would opt for the 4-cycle engine, as it runs smoother and is quieter Between the two I would buy whichever 4-cycle I could get at the cheapest price. I would not expect either machine to stand up to the use that you are proposing. It sounds to me like trying to farm a quarter-section of land with a lawn tractor. |
- Posted by little_acorn (My Page) on Mon, Jul 25, 11 at 20:46
NO I only reason that I came across the way I did is I want someone to come forth and really give me a testimony which Mini Tiller could and would perform the very best under these conductions that I ask about. Since I have heard from no one with the HONDA I was hoping that someone would come forward and give their testimony about all three of these Mini Tillers. You are the first to come forward and give your feelings about the HONDA. You see I am a big HONDA fan but have never heard any one talk about the HONDA, always about the Mantis and how great they are. Yes I have clay soil and yes I shove it and turn it over by hand. So in doing this will I be able to use the HONDA to brake the soil up? I still would love to hear about the Stihl? You are a great help in telling me about your expense with the HONDA and the MANTIS and I am very grateful for this. |
- Posted by fisher40037 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 2, 11 at 20:31
None of them will break up heavy clay soil. They all are great units that do the chore they are made for. The older Mantis engines are Echo, then came Honda. But you need to focus on what you need, and what is available, and what will accomplish the results you desire, Fish |
FISH: great to see that you're still lurking around. I know, from YEARS on these Gardenweb forums, that anybody who ignores YOUR advice is like a turtle on a fencepost. |

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

In another thread, I posted that the main supply duct coming out of my 4-ton unit is 8 X 10 inch galvanized duct and a reply said it was "WAY undersized for 4 tons." I was assured the Man J and D were done by the reputable HVAC sub, so I am perplexed that it could be WAY off. Is there a rule of thumb or "napkin calculation" for duct sizing that I can use to determine if this is WAY off? If you have a 4-ton system, what size ducts do you have? Thanks! |

Are you sure the 8x10 is your main supply trunk line? Is it the only one? Something is not right if it is. A 8x10 square duct is equivalent to around a 10 inch round duct( according to my ductulator). Thats only good for somewhere around 1 ton of air. Give or take depending on your air velocity. That can not be the only supply trunk. Unless you have some kind of unico high static pressure system or something. |
Here is link which gives sizes for metal supply trunks. For a 4 ton AC you would need an 18 inch round duct. An 8 X 10 duct is the size for a 1 ton system. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rules of Thumb for Duct Systems
Thanks for the replies and the links. It is more likely I did not check all of the supply lines since I was in a hurry and just did a quick grab of what looked like the main supply. I will double check and compare against the linked info. I will also try to draw the distribution system. Thanks, guys, I appreciate the help. |

New Study Shows Botox Helpful for Migraines
Posted: September 15, 2008
page 2 of 3
The first Phase III trial missed its primary goal of a reduction in the number of headache episodes compared with placebo, but did demonstrate a statistically significant benefit on the secondary goal of a reduction in headache days versus placebo. According to Allergan, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considered the number of headache days as a preferred measure of effectiveness.
Based on the data from the first Phase III trial, Allergan changed the primary goal of the second Phase III study to number of headache days from number of headache episodes. In the second Phase III study, the primary goal and secondary goal showed a statistically significant benefit for Botox over placebo.
"At this point, it is unclear to us if Allergan will be successful in obtaining a headache indication as we cannot think of a drug that received an indication after missing the primary endpoint in one study and switching the primary endpoint in the second study," Wachovia analyst Larry Biegelsen wrote in a research note. He said he expects the FDA to conduct an Advisory Committee meeting, which could be to Allergan's advantage as Botox appears to be effective in treating migraine. "Without seeing the actual clinical data, it is unclear to us if the results were clinically relevant," Biegelsen said. Without an indication, the company could not promote the data as the U.S. Department of Justice is already investigating the off-label promotion of Botox for migraine, he noted.
In March, Allergan said it received a subpoena from the Justice Department investigating the promotion of Botox. The company said it believes the subpoena is related to alleged off-label promotion of Botox to treat headaches, for which it is not approved. Allergan said it was fully cooperating with the investigation. Still, the favorable data will likely make more physicians more likely to try it on their patients who suffer from migraines, said Bye, who has a "hold" rating on the stock.
The company said that Botox costs $525 a vial, and 1.5 vials were used to treat a headache in the studies. Allergan said it hopes to file a supplemental biologics license application with the FDA for the use of Botox in chronic migraine by mid-2009. The company expects full data results to be published or presented by mid-2009. "If the data were really good and clean, I doubt (Allergan) would be waiting until mid-2009 to file (its FDA application)," Bye said.
