I filmed both Corner shows for the band, Charnystyle. One more to go. Here is ''Black Betty'' with Kram's dedication to Jay. In a heartfelt moment Kram says, ''And finally as I mentioned on Friday, we would like to dedicate this set to Jay Curley of Tumbleweed who tragically passed away this week. He was a beautiful man and we spent a lot of time together. Life is too short.'' ㋡

Thought you'd be interested in this advice thread @ TOH.
I've seen them on other Forums too recently. They're "helping" again.....! (You may see another name there you recognize!) Faron |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sheesh! Might help if I have the thread-link here!!! (remember that fiasco of a thread @ HGTV last year with their "help"?!) Faron |
Here is a link that might be useful: TOH HD thread...
What am I missing? Someone mentions getting a no-VOC paint, you mention a couple low-VOC paints and the Home Depot guy gives a link to a no-VOC paint available at HD. Do you think it's an orchestrated effort by HD - clever spamming to promote a new product? What happened here last year? |
Hey Gray! No, they weren't spamming. Just a HD assoc. giving out "incomplete/some totally wrong" advice about a painting project. I couldn't quite believe some of the stuff the HD "helper" was stating to the person starting the thread on an HGTV thread. Recent "HD-helper" threads have been appearing on various forums. Advice given is pretty basic, and always references items at HD directly. To be fair, I try to avoid "selling" anything...relative to where I work. That's not cool, or allowed here! I often mention brands, because it's hard not to, when you're discussing exact recommendations/methods. It IS a delicate line to tread for ME anyway...working in retail, giving help in forums, mentioning products....and hopefully being perceived as not trying to "SELL" said products! I REALLY hope I'm not perceived that way! Faron |
You are good at "selling" expensive vacation spots and shoes!!! ;-) |
"Guilty" as charged!! I just wish I got some $$benefit from those 2 categories! You've apparently read my ramblings over in the HomeDec/Conversations Forum...?! Have ya read the reviews of that particular Maui destination on Tripadvisor?! People are falling all over themselves praising the place! Sheesh...I don't even get to wear the d@mn shoes!! Faron |
Oh my goodness, have a busy day but checked in here b4 I start in. So glad I did - always good to start the morning with a chuckle. This is too funny! Faron, you're a hoot. Even if you were promoting your store and your brands it is very different from what the Home Depot is doing. There is just ONE Faron's place of employment and few readers could actually become your customer. Whereas the Home Depot has THOUSANDS of stores nationwide. I remember when I started hanging out on the forums six/seven years go. Many of my friends thought it was a very strange hobby. Imaginary friends. Holograms. Incognito pen pals. Yep. Took a lot of ribbing if I talked about you guys. Now *my* hobby has a fancy name and it's "social media". Some folks have actually made a career out of consulting individuals and big corporations on how to optimize their social media presence online. The herds of "social media experts" strike me to be about as expert as the herds of "color experts" that are roaming the frontiers of the www. Bunch of folks with no real, tangible, bona fide expertise in much of anything. America is kinda great that way - you really can be anything you want to be. Who wants to be an astronaut?! You can say you're an astronaut all you want - can always say the only reason you haven't been to the moon is because you just haven't gotten around to actually astronauting yet. All you have to do is FaceBook that you *plan* to go soon. And all those helpful folks the Home Depot has turned loose on the www are - my guess - their newest and best social media optimization experts out there giving it their best to establish a successful online presence for the Home Depot. Forum folk are too smart to fall for it. If ya ask me they are wasting their time - they will never, never, never be able to break into the established tribes on the established forums. Because they (The Home Depot) aren't interested in truly, genuinely being a part of an online community. They aren't it for the exchange of ideas and knowledge. No authenticity whatsoever. Nope, they just want to advertise @ people and they think they're clever by cloaking it by saying they're being "helpful". It's bullsh1t. Spam and/or b.s. - experienced forum members can smell it a mile away. It only irks me because I sense they think we're dumb and don't know what the deal *really* is. Underestimating the power and intelligence of tribe is a huge mistake. But at least it gives us something to poke fun at. poke |
Fun-C- You're amazing...good amazing I mean! You illuminated many little quirks of this modern way that people get "help" on the www. Some good methods/people, some bad, some just plain-ol' smarmy....only interested in getting THEIR name (or Firm) out there in cyber-land. "Herds of 'color experts'"..."social media optimization experts"..."breaking into established tribes"..."Bullsh1t" >>> Did'ja have a chance to check that TOH-thread I linked? I just can't get that HGTV-thread out of my head, where the "expert" mentions the customer should get some of HD's paint, because it has a "little bit of enamel in it....". Kinda funny how their "Paint & Primer in 1" product seems to solve everything.....(ROLLING EYES HERE)....with no mention of other possible products...and there are MANY! Faron |

Are you folks still sniffing paint fumes? :)))))))) |
Brush!!!!!!! Long time, no read! How are ya!?!!???! (why yes....yes I am sniffing paint fumes...!) Faron |
- Posted by brushworks (My Page) on Tue, Mar 8, 11 at 7:32
Faron!!!! Life is good. I moved to property management after selling off the painting business. I currently operate/manage a professional office building in northern Ohio. There are 622 tenants. What a joy! :) As for painting, I just finished repainting the entire interior of my house and it looks mahhhhhhhhhhhhhvelous. Good to see that you are keeping folks on the right track. |
Discussions like this are part of why I was hesitant to own up to being an Ace employee...I don't want to be taken for a spammer! Plus, I know I'm not perfect; I'm no Faron or funcolors, and though I try to stick to things I'm confident on (via training and/or experience), I'd hate to have any potential gaps in my knowledge associated with Ace. However, since the brands I'm most familiar with are brands we sell, I felt I needed to disclose as a sort of disclaimer regarding possible bias (I can't help it if I really like my Ace paint with Scotchguard). There was a Christina from HD answering questions on this board not too long ago. I wondered at the time if it was legit involvement or somehow corporate sponsored (though when I first started reading, I thought the same thing about Faron...sorry Faron!). |
Brush---- Jeez it's good to hear from ya Man! >>> Can we see some pix from your house?! I'm not doin' that much here...I had a good Teacher! Jessicaml-- Yeah...I mentioned a couple posts up...that it's a fine line being in retail, describing methods, and mentioning products....without being viewed as trying to SELL any specific product. Faron |
jessica, The essential difference between you and what Faron and I are talking about is awareness. You're aware that in order to participate in, and be accepted into, the tribes of social media as both Jessica the person and Jessica ACE employee, you have to employ certain social graces. You have to be honest, authentic and transparent. And you have to show up - be present and consistent in your participation. It's a matter of genuinely wanting to be a part of the community incorporating both the personal side and the professional side. It's about genuinely caring about your online friends, your tribe. Tribes know when you're bringing that to the table. Can't fake any of that. Tribes are smart. That awareness and all it encompasses is what I believe Faron and I recognize is missing in the approach Home Depot is taking with their participation on the forums. And that's what we're pokin' fun at. It's like when your cat hides in the curtains and you can still see more than half his body sticking out. He thinks he's being quite crafty but you're thinking "dumb cat". |

Wildrose Justice Critic Shayne Saskiw
Credits: TOM BRAID/QMI AGENCY
"We would hope that regardless of political stripe, all members would want to strengthen conflict laws to ensure the integrity of our public office," said Wildrose MLA Shayne Saskiw.
The Wildrose recommendations would empower the province's ethics commissioner to initiate investigations, clarify financial disclosure and how investigations are reported.
The new rules would broaden the definition of conflicts of interest to include relatives and friends among an MLA's associates.
It would also toughen cooling-off guidelines and extend them from six to 12 months.
Saskiw said the recommendations will include a clause for scandals that could reach high into the upper echelons of government; an independent investigator from outside the province would be brought in.
"We have seen this premier award patronage appointments to failed government ministers and fail to tell the truth about her blatant conflict of interest in the rewarding of a $10-billion tobacco litigation lawsuit," Saskiw said.
"We know Redford has little interest in taking aim at the 41-year-old culture of entitlement embedded with this PC government, but Albertans can be assured that the Wildrose is committed to running a clean, ethical and accountable government that plays by the rules."
Ethics Commissioner Neil Wilkinson presented his recommendation for enhanced online disclosure among other adjustments to the act.
The committee will meet again after the spring session starts March 5.

hello!! so I am New here - desired to join after you show up every time I search something in Google. so I have a coconut palm from store bought nut. it's a year or so old and I'd like to know when it's true fonds will come through it grow mostly during put heatwave. we had for 7 weeks! (temp avg 32-35C) i thought it might have given me the true found then. so how long could it take? and my sago Palm (bought) it is growing it shows signs of growing it isn't growing fonds outgrowing the "scale spikes" and it's caudeux is expanding it was size of a small orange (not as small as a satsuma) it's now size of grapefruit. what Is it doing? plant care given; both sit under a 125w 6400k (blue spectrum) cfl bulb for minimum or 10 hours aday sago watered every other day and once a week soaked in a bucket of water, coconut watered once a week with a mug (about 170ml) water and misted daily. |

Very nice coconut palm! When you get split fronds will depend on if you have a dwarf coconut palm variety or a tall coconut palm variety. I have both so I'll give you my experience in New York City. My summers are hotter than yours and the sun's a bit higher but I don't think the growth will be significantly different. I got my dwarf coconut palm as a new sprout in June 2009. It began showing signs of splitting fronds in summer of 2010 but the fronds were not fully splitting until 2011 (2 years). I got my tall variety in 2010. The growth was fast and it ended up being a lot taller than my dwarf variety even though it still had it's juvenile leaves. It split its leaves this summer, 2013 (3 years). So generally they take 2 to 3 years in pots to start growing adult leaves. They look beautiful both ways though and I got more compliments from it when it had juvenile leaves than I do from people now that it has adult leaves although I personally like it both ways! As for your sago, those scale spike things are probably a new flush of leaves, but unless it is getting a lot of sun, the leaves grow ridiculously long and don't look normal. I have never been able to get a sago to make normal leaves because mine always used to flush indoors when it needs outdoor sun. Depending where you live in the UK you might be able to grow sagos outside. Their fronds burn in the low 20s usually or about -6C and it will probably die at -8C. Good luck!! |
thank you for the great reply, I don't actually know what type of coconut it is. I've had several store coconuts germinate real fast (about two months) and yes the juvenile fonds are great since Monday it has grown 1/2inch upwards (New fond) it's just marvelous! the sago that's the crown I'll upload link to dropbox in recent Years it's far to cold for the sago and if the leaves die can be years before they come back I don't want that so it sits on window cill turns 3 times a week. it gets a 10.6-4.4-1.7. (original babybio.co.UK) fertilizer once a week 2 drips to half pint |
Here is a link that might be useful: more coconut and sago Palm images
Alex, is right on about the Sago. Unfortunately, they are not the greatest 'houseplant', in my opinion. (They wanna be outside!) I gave a smaller one to a friend in NYC and it grew into something fairly hideous in an overheated NYC apartment. I have several specimens of C. revoluta that are quite huge. They never come into the house--too big, too prickly and warm enough so that they would soon get buggy. I move them into a sunny but minimally heated, detached garage in December and back out in early March. Actually, they got watered today for the first time since December 1st. If you can possibly keep them between 32 and 55F. in the Winter, and dry, this will prevent the deformed growth. Then, sun and heat outdoors to encourage good growth. Not sure how they respond outdoors in the cooler UK, but that's what microclimates are all about. I need to protect mine from the strongest sun and heat, in the UK, a warm, brick, south-facing wall should be warm enough to encourage good growth. Good luck. |
Honestly Coconuts grow best outside in full high sunlight. You live quite far north the suns rays are not as strong as they are down here in the tropics. I live in Palm Bay, Florida and I seem to have problem with mine outside 2-3 times a year i need to protect it from cold spells. I suggest a south-east west facing window that gets lot and lots of light and in the cold months avoid giving it too much water as that will rot the roots and the bud. Killing the plant. |
thank you both, sago is showing signs of growth - got several new (spiky scales) coming through in this week. the sun here is useless in winter it's only just risen (7.54am) and it never goes above 50-70deg high in winter but in summer it is right on top and sits there from 10am till around 4pm and then it moves to the back. my coconut. is doing quite well I know they are very hard to care for when they don't get what they want. also what feed ratios should I give the coconut? I didn't think Florida would have cold wether your what few hundred mile from equatorial center? and the sago will go out in March then (parents house has garden) harsh frost should have past by then should just be a. light one thank you leo |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Mon, Jan 13, 14 at 16:16
It looks good! It will probably be fully open in about a month. Definitely bring it in a very high light area or try to keep it as cool (but not below freezing) as possible until you can take it outside in the spring to keep the new flush of fronds from getting very "leggy" in the low light indoors. Keep us updated! Thanks for sharing. -Alex |
well it sits on window cil al day all night under a grow light (light not on at night) and one last thing what fertilizer shall I use (I only have basic house plant) I can get tomatoes and citrus and orchid feed. for both coconut and sago |
@Mushibu I live in Central Florida. Palm Bay are to be exact we have a few nights a year where it can get down to the upper 30's F. With a very strong north wind out of the arctic northwest over North America it can drop to about 34F is the lowest I have seen in 10 years. That being said I cover my plants below 45F My coconut tree is about 25 feet tall and Fresh coconut although they are small and don't taste that good, But I have them lol. I have dozens of palms in my yard. I am on the northern extent of the Cocos Nucifera range in North America. |
Nice coco! Wish they sold more of the green types over here although it seems only the golden malayan survives long term for some reason over here in Cali. Not sure what type of fertilizer is best but I would hold off on that for a while until you can take it outside. Or you'll end up burning the roots/fronds. - US_Marine |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Thu, Jan 16, 14 at 2:58
I think if your sago is next to a window and under a grow light the flush of fronds should grow normally! Good luck and keep us updated on how it fills out. -Alex |
thank you all the New fonds are about 3inchs now and looking good and I didn't think that Florida being so close to equator would have frost thank -ou |
I got my Coconut palm and my Christmas palm Protected tonight look frost advisory. They are wrapped in sheets but we do get at least 1-3 frost a year. last year we had one this year we have had 2 so far. But they cold does not last very long it usually dissipates in about 6-12 hours. http://www.weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/32905?phenomena=FR&significance=Y&areaid=FLZ047&office=KMLB&etn=0001 |
oh one last question the frounds do they come out all at once or leaf by leadf? cause I only see one. |
What you see emerging will be a single leaf. Mine do not 'flush' in the Winter because they are kept too cool and dry for new growth. But when mine do flush, they will put out anywhere from several to a dozen or more new leaves, so that they will, within a short period of time (weeks), dramatically in crease in size. Note, new growth, as it is emerging, is tender and easily damaged. Within a two week period, the new, tender growth will gradually turn indestructible. P.S., I wonder if cycads are grown anywhere outdoors in the UK. Your Winters are not so much of the problem as lack of growing season heat (and maybe light intensity). |
the channel islands maybe able to grow them out aide that is Jersey Guernsey isle white maybe Cornwall (lowest part of UK mainland) thank you syou are saying I will only have a single leaf? and when you say dry do you mean bone dry? and the coconut palm when the feathered frounds come in does the Palm shrink again? so lose its hight till the trunk grows?? cause when you see them on tv (watching death in paradise BBC show highly amusing crime drama) the young cocus with bi tipped frounds are taller than other cocus ones with feathery frounds hope you understand that thankbyou |
I will handle the cycad question because I really do not understand the coconut inquiry. I keep the cycads dry because they are in my detached, sunny garage for the Winter. They come out in early March. Winter temps may range from 60-40 with a minimum of maybe 35 F.. I dragged them out a couple of weeks ago in a heavy rain, but may have to water once again before they go outside again in March. This works for C.revoluta but also some Dioon and at least one species of Encephalartos. Indoors, with warmer temps, you will need to water more. When I tried overwintering Sagos in the house, they would develop deformed Winter growth and get mealy bugs--not an at all when I stopped bringing them into the house. |
so I am applying New top toil (seedling soil low nutrients) to make it look better on top as underneath is Sandy cacti soil and fish tank gavel and are the roots s'posed to be dry? |
Make sure you mix the new soil with at least the top portion of the existing soil. Water doesn't flow very well in soil that abrubtly changes texture. If you mix it you won't have that problem plus your get the nutrients closer to the roots. And those are dead roots. But don't worry there is a ton more under the coconut shell. Trust me! Coconut roots grow fast. I had just got a golden malayan about the same age/size as your coco back in april. By september it had roots growing out the bottom and into the ground even after I put it in a larger container. - US_Marine |
hello so it's grown the sago, one of the frounds looks lanky but I have two new ones coming through. as you can see |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 12:23
That leaf looks like it's not all grown and opened and hardened yet. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Sat, Feb 8, 14 at 15:30
The new frond is definitely a little lanky but I have seen a LOT worse. I think it won't look too bad once it's fully opened and hardens off. Give it as much light as possible until then especially with those other 2 fronds coming through still. Good luck! -Alex |
thank you both, yeah it's in centre of light now. but the next two frounds don't look lanky (the gaps between lower spikes are closer together) thank you |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 11, 14 at 1:20
It's not a palm, so it has leaves and leaflets. ;) |
I know Sago isn't a Palm its a Cycas but Palms and Cycas are in same group on herer so rather than post two question asking the same thing. |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Feb 20, 14 at 16:41
They're not in the same group, they are so different: cycads (cycas are in the cycads family) reproduce through cones (closer to conifers) and they are dioecious, while palms are flowering and are monoecious. Not the same. :) |

Cycads are gymnosperms, same as conifers, etc., and are non-flowering plants. Their seeds are exposed, usually in cones. Palms are flowering plants, angiosperms, their seeds are enclosed in ovaries. Some palms are also monoecious. |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (email@example.com) on Thu, Feb 20, 14 at 21:39
Tropicbreezent, my bad I forgot to specifically write about gymnosperms vs. angiosperms. :) |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Feb 21, 14 at 22:04
No worries Sagolover. What I just saw was an error of mine. What I meant to write was that some palms are dioecious. Most however are monoecious. |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Feb 21, 14 at 23:28
Yeap, you're right. I didn't notice it, but most of the time I read something and I understand what I want. :D Then it's hard to see what was actually written because I see what I want to see. Hey, this might be a kind of disability and I might not know it. |
this is my Sago now, the "lanky" fround now it's hardening doesn't looks to lanky and the others aren't as long but are long too :) and thank you all I have had to look up the cone genus of trees as I got a monkey puzzle tree!! :) thank you all |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 25, 14 at 18:44
I looks good, like a more mature leaf. Wait for others to grow, and you'll have such a great looking cycad! (not that it's not great looking when it's younger, but when it matures it's a beauty!) :) |
yes the mature ones are great, the local garden centre has one that is 3ft tall 37 frounds and its a male but the other one they have hasn't shown its gender yet they say. and they both cost ÂŁ700 so so expensive haha but when it's young you can Bonsai them! thank you |
- Posted by lbinupland_zone_9 9 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 4, 14 at 23:25
I read this thread and kind of marvel. The effort people expend to grow plants in a hostile climate. I bought a $5 sago 40 years ago when I bought my house, it is over six feet tall The male flower is (like) two feet long, every year for at least the past 15 years. A flush consists of at least two dozen fronds , (or leaves) if you prefer. I have successfully raised and given away probably three dozen pups broken off from the parent plant. Most survive, maybe 80% but some don't. It gets cold here, we are at 1700 ft. elevation and freezes some years but I have never had a sago show damage from frost. Plumaria, that's another crap shoot, but the sagos do very well here. I have managed to keep twenty pups that are well established and in the ground. In other words, this climate is very agreeable for sagos and they are common all around here, seems like everybody has at least one? I'm not rubbing your nose in it here; I salute the effort to grow (what is almost a tropical), in a climate which is not suitable. Good luck. LB PS no coconut palms here, lots of King Palms but by far the most popular and numerous palm in this area is the Queen. |
thabk you, and sorry for delay in reply, I went on holiday, and left sage out side, the young fronds was damaged by the once night of very light frost. |

If Tollywood insiders are to be believed, Mega Star Chiranjeevi's nephew Sai Dharam Tej's much-hyped debut has run into troubled waters. The film " Rey" has been in the post-production stage for the longest time now and T-town circles are abuzz with news that YVS Chowdary is unable to fund the film's release, post the huge losses he incurred with " Nippu". Another version doing the rounds is that distributors and buyers are not coming forth to purchase the flick, possibly due to the string of flops YVS Chowdary came out with in the recent times.
Insiders hint that the Mega Star family might step in and fund the project so that the film hits screens. After all, the debut of anyone from a filmi family such as the Mega Star's, is a biggie.

Consolidated Statements of IncomeBalance Sheet DataSales for the Quarter ended September 30Jerusalem, Israel, November 7, 2000 - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: TEVA) today reported that Net income for the third quarter 2000 reached $46.6 million or $0.36 per share, up 29% and 26% respectively as compared with the third quarter of 1999 (before a one-time charge in respect of acquired in-process R&D in the comparable quarter). The geographic breakdown of third quarter Total sales of $450.1 million (+40%) is: North America 59%, Europe 22%, Israel 14% and others 5%. Eli Hurvitz, President and CEO, commented: "We are pleased to be reporting another record quarter. In this quarter we have proven again the benefits of globalization as we have compensated for our eroded European top line with increased sales in North America to achieve a balanced growth". The consolidation of Copley and Novopharm accounted for about two thirds of the increase in North American pharmaceutical sales with the balance coming from internal growth and new products. During the quarter, Teva received final approvals and launched Etodolac ER 500 & 600 mg, the generic version of Lodine XL ® and Enalapril Maleate, the generic version of Vasotec ® . In addition Teva received final approvals for Nifedipine XL 60mg, the generic version of Procardia XL ® 60mg, which was launched subsequent to the end of the quarter and for Amoxicillin 500 & 875mg, the generic version of Amoxil ® . Further, Teva received 3 tentative approvals, all of which are Paragraph IV filings (Nifedipine XL 30mg, Etodolac ER 400mg and Loratadine 10mg, the generic version of Claritin ® ). Subsequent to the end of the quarter Teva received final approval for Doxazosin, the generic version of Cardura ® . Teva currently has 49 generic products pending FDA approval (including 13 tentative approvals) about half of which are Pharagraph IV filings. Branded annual sales of this pipeline total over $ 14 billion. Third quarter Pharmaceutical sales in Europe increased in Euro terms by 10%; however, due to the 14% quarter-to-quarter devaluation of the Euro, sales decreased in U.S. dollar terms by 2%. While sales in Europe were fully exposed to the weakening Euro, the impact on net income was mitigated by the fact that most of the sales in Europe were produced in Europe, where costs in dollar terms also declined. Additional natural hedging is achieved by purchases of European raw materials for use in non-European production. Sales in the U.K. and Hungary were subject to severe governmental price constraints, which were partially offset by the consolidation of Human, the Hungarian subsidiary of Novopharm. At the end of the quarter, 138 product applications were awaiting approval from the Regulatory Authorities in various countries in Europe, mainly in Hungary, the U.K., Germany and the Netherlands. Global in-market sales of Copaxone ® , Teva's leading product, increased as compared with the third quarter of 1999 by 59% to $66 million. Copaxone ® continues to be the fastest growing multiple sclerosis therapy in the U.S. outpacing the overall MS drug market in percentage increase of both new and total prescriptions. In August of this year, Teva received marketing approval for Copaxone ® in the U.K. and is currently preparing the filing under the European Mutual Recognition Procedure to make Copaxone ® available in the other European Union countries. The patient enrollment of two major Copaxone ® phase III clinical studies has been completed: CORAL – a multinational trial evaluating the efficacy of an oral form of Copaxone ® , and PROMISE – the largest ever study in primary progressive MS. Higher gross profit margins in Teva USA due to new product launches and synergies resulting from prior acquisitions, compensated both for lower margins in the UK (due to the governmental price constraints) and the impact of the consolidation of Human which has relatively low gross profit margins. Generic R&D expenses accounted for $17 million, up 79% from the 1999 third quarter. The advanced development stage of our two Copaxone ® projects, and of the two Parkinsons' projects demand substantial resources, thus Innovative R&D expenses grew by 65% to a total of $16.4 million. Net R&D expenses increased at a lower rate than total R&D expenses due to significantly higher third party participation in Innovative R&D, reflecting Teva's strategy of limiting the burden of innovative R&D on our P&L. During the quarter Teva raised $135 million from a syndicate of European Banks in a five-year multi-currency term loan facility and subsequent to the end of the quarter, raised $550 million by the issuance of five-year Senior Convertible Debentures with an interest rate of 1.5% and a conversion price of $86.23. These funds partially replace short term credit lines. It has been recommended that the Board of Directors at their meeting on November 13, 2000 declare a regular cash dividend of NIS 0.225 (approx. 5.4¢) per ADR with respect to the third quarter of 2000. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. is Israel's largest pharmaceutical company, with over 85% of its sales outside Israel, mainly in North America and Europe. The Company develops, manufactures and markets generic and branded human pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Someone at work is selling a snapper mower for $250 OBO. Do you think it is worth the price? If not how much is a resonable offer? Also are these good mowers?
Here are the specs: Snapper riding mower with rear bagger
Current owner says it runs good, oil been changed every season, new belt and blade as of last year.
Follow-Up Postings:
This is a 1985 model. I bought a 2003 model for $500 without the bagger but it came with the dethatcher and mulch kit. These mowers have changed very little over the years and are pretty bulletproof, but be sure it fits your needs before you buy (I had mine for two months before I sold it as it took longer to mow my 1/2 acre then it did with my push mower. |
Hey, Metal! Did ya ever figure out that there was more than one speed in the machine? No wonder ya took so long to mow! |
- Posted by brad_hucks (My Page) on Mon, May 19, 08 at 13:40
So in other words this is just an average deal on a mower? Are there any problem issues with these mowers that i should know about? I have .75 arces but only half of that is grass. I also have lots of beds and trees that i have to go around. |
They have terrible turning radius at anything but the lowest speeds due to the tiny front wheels and all the weight being on the back (engine, bagger, driver). They have very touchy clutches so you need to be careful so you don't give yourself whiplash. 28" is barely larger than a push mower and there are no anti-scalp wheels so you can gouge pretty easily when turning as there is a pivot point between the rear and front wheels. On the good side, they are built stout and there are very few things to go wrong on them, and they do mulch pretty well (with the right deck). It took me about an hour to mow a half acre and now with a JD LX178 with a 38" deck it takes me about 25 minutes. If you have all day to tool around and want a mower that will last this is the mower for you. |
"So in other words this is just an average deal on a mower?" If it were in good condition it would be, needs battery and working on, naw, well not in this area anyway. "They have terrible turning radius at anything but the lowest speeds due to the tiny front wheels and all the weight being on the back (engine, bagger, driver). They have very touchy clutches so you need to be careful so you don't give yourself whiplash." Agree. While these are good sturdy machines, but the resale market has gone to heck around here. I used to deal in them and got to where I couldn't make anything on them so quit. Walt Conner |
- Posted by johntommybob (My Page) on Mon, May 19, 08 at 20:44
I tried out a new one once. I liked the way it was built and that was about it. It did not ride good; did not handle good, and it was not comfortable. I put all that together with it will last a loooong time, and I looked elsewhere. |
- Posted by wheresmypension (My Page) on Wed, May 21, 08 at 12:40
The one good thing about the single blade setup is that it collects and bags pretty good for a system that has no blower. Take to heart what Walt and Metal are saying about the the weight distribution and the clutch. I was once heading up a steep hill and lost traction, I put in the clutch so I could roll back a couple of feet and try again. When I let the clutch out the whole machine flipped end over end. I was not hurt, but quite embarassed. Did you know that the engine will run upside down? well for about three seconds anyway. Don't think I have ever told anyone this story before... anyway good luck. |
"The one good thing about the single blade setup is that it collects and bags pretty good for a system that has no blower." Snapper Hi-Vac is darned good at bagging and quick to change over. Walt Conner |
- Posted by Bill Cornelius South(email@example.com) onMon, May 31, 10 at 16:39
"Snapper Hi-Vac is darned good at bagging and quick to change over" This is why I bought one. Here in Orlando, I get leaves twice a year, sycamores in fall and oaks in spring and I'm tired of raking leaves. I bought a used 2002 28" 10hp; with a double bagger for $550 recently, I think it was a good deal. |
- Posted by Dennis(email@example.com) onThu, Jun 16, 11 at 14:14
I inherited a HiVac 8 HP and it ran great till motor shelled out. So I bought another just like it. Runs fine BUT it won't climb even slight uphill grade. Any ideas? |
It probably needs the drive wheel replaced. It is up behind the vertical plate at the rear of the machine, under the engine area, and can be changed in about ten minutes. I only changed mine once since 1983. That wheel has a rubber "tire" glued on it, and they do wear out, but not very fast. As for rarin' up on a hill, folks try to start up with a full grass bag on the back, and it gives ya a "start", but i have never turned mine over backwards. I don't really believe the guy here who said his turned clean over on an up-hill start-out. Maybe side-ways, but not rearwards! |

"Today's an especially great day to be a developer," said Microsoft's Antoine Leblond, on a Microsoft blog. "We're very excited to announce the last significant announcement in the rollout of the Windows Store before the general availability of Windows 8 on October 26."
Prior to this announcement, the store was open for those with company accounts and a small pool of developers but now supports 120 countries across the globe. A full list of Microsoft's supported markets can be seen here.
Developers who subscribe to the Microsoft Developer Network program will be able to submit apps for free for a year, while this same offer also applies to DreamSpark, Microsoft's program for students, and BizSpark, the program for start-ups.
Normal folk will face a registration fee of $49 for individuals and $99 for companies. Microsoft advises developers still interested in signing up to the store to head to the Windows Store Dashboard on the Windows Dev Center.
The Windows Store launched in preview mode at the Windows 8 Consumer Preview back in February but has steadily improved ever since, and added an increasing number of apps.
Windows 8 developers will earn 70% of all sales on apps that bring in up to $25,000 each year, or 80% if sales go above that figure. The Windows 8 Store will house traditional desktop Windows apps and 'Metro-style' apps for Windows 8 tablets.

Larry Gene,
Hey pard, what's with all the garbage running down the left side of all the threads? A hack job or something Garden Web has added? Either way, it is very hard to read the posts and replies with it. The pop ups are bad enough without this garbage too. Larry |

Larry, just now checking in for the first time during my vacation in sunny North Dakota. I didn't get to see the left-side garbage. My guess is that with all the intensive ads and dynamic notices going on at gardenWeb, the page coding becomes overwhelmed and anything can happen. |

Momeni Koi Koi 07 Blue Rug
Item #: 126KO07-P Add to Wishlist
Description: East meets west in this beautiful collection of hand-tufted wool rugs. Bold designs and contemporary colors enhance the Chinese characters and Asian elements featured in this group. Hand carving adds depth. Made in China of 100% wool.

- Available in the following sizes: 3' 6"x 5' 6", 5' 3" x 8', 8' x 11' and 2' 6" x 8'
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
This looks way better in person than what the picture shows. Love it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It looks great in our living room. We wanted a contemporary looking rug there to match with our design. Our only complaint would be the mild shagging,but it is normal with any wool rugs. Need to vacuum clean couple of times,but after that it is ok. Feels very soft and we got plenty of compliments on the looks. We would definitely recommend it for fun and modern design.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Colors were much, much darker than that on the website. Disappointed in the colors had to return, but the rug was beautiful in it's own rite.
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.

The return leg of the charity flight will depart Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport on 26 October 2007 at 1600 hrs (Sydney time) and arrive in Singapore at 2200 hours (Singapore time).
A majority of seats, across all cabin classes, will be available for bidding between tonight and 10 September 2007.
Those who have secured seats on the Singapore-Sydney leg can begin bidding for the return if they wish. And those who are interested in being on both legs of the flight can also participate in the auction, as there are seats still open for bidding on the Singapore-Sydney leg.
All proceeds of the auction will be donated to charities. They are:
One-third to Singapore's Community Chest
One-third split between the Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick, and The Children's Hospital at Westmead, both in Sydney
One-third to Médecins Sans Frontières, also known as Doctors Without Borders.
Starting bid prices will be attractively priced, so as to allow everyone to participate in the Charity Auction. Economy Class bids will start at US $3.80, Business Class bids at US $38.00 and bids for the Singapore Airlines Suites: a class beyond First, will start at US $380.00.
All information on packages available, bidder prequalification, how to get an eBay user ID and how to bid in the auction is available on the Singapore Airlines website, singaporeair.com/a380.
To bid, you will need:
An eBay user ID … it's free and easy to get on ebay.com. (Once you sign up for an eBay user ID, you can easily learn how to bid and how the eBay bid system works);
The names and passport numbers of those travelling;
For bids on packages in the premium classes (Business and Suites), or bids over USD1,000 in Economy Class, pre-qualification will be required. This ensures bids are not artificially inflated, and gives bidders confidence they are bidding only against genuine and pre-qualified bidders. Prequalification is initiated online.

Make new friends
& enjoy yourself
An innovative social network ideal for people in the the Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge, and Shifnal areas.
If you like eating out, drive, and have no one to go out with, this could be just what you've been looking for. Come out in good company instead of sitting in on your own.
Make new friends, enjoy a good meal and good conversation.
This is what I do, I bring people together so they can enjoy a good night out in the company of others. The average age group is between 40 to 60+ and it is purely social, not a dating or introduction club.
If you feel you are lonely and it's time for you to move on then by reading this you have just taken the first step.
We meet twice a month:
Once for a quiet drink amongst new and old friends in a pub or cocktail bar. Once for a meal in a restaurant.
The group can be large or can be quite small, it all depends on who comes along but this shouldn't matter, if it's a large crowd you are looking for then you are joining for the wrong reasons. Enjoyment of others is in quality, not quantity!
Monthly restaurant meals are planned and organised by the club's members. This is done when we meet up for a drink, our 'Meet & Mingle' monthly evening.
The second get together is the actual meal out that was planned by the members who attended the Meet & Mingle.
This is a friendly and relaxed way to make new friends.
If you would like to join us all you need to do is get in touch and ask for a membership registration form. You can then come out with us and make new friends instead of sitting in on your own.
The Meet & Mingle evenings are very friendly, always someone to welcome you onboard. Never hectic or too busy so ideal if you don't like crowded rooms full of strange people.
There'll be a dozen people or less to welcome you at any Meet & Mingle so no need to feel nervous/anxious, you are not going to be thrown in to a room full of people you don't know, that we promise.
Ideal for anyone who is so busy working they never get the opportunity to make new friends or for a person going through a divorce, recently seperated, or maybe lost a loved one.
There is no catch. All we ask is that you:
Refrain from treating it as a 'dating' club or cattle market
Don't make it 'clicky'
Leave your problems at home
Don't go round asking everyone what they do for a living
Come in your own transport (don't ask for lifts)
tel: 07734 710 709 or 01952 407403
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Making friends in Telford and the surrounding areas of Telford has never been easier, it was just a matter of finding us which you now have!
Join now - Make new friends - Enjoy socialising - Don't just sit at home on your own

Historically, I bitch about how much February sucks. Football's over. It's cold, and it's been cold for what seems like for-goddamn-ever. The jackass in the cubicle next to you is excited about pitchers and catchers reporting. And for whiteys like me and Drew, any slight pigmentation our skin once had has long since leached away.
But I dunno, I'm less suicidal than usual this February. The Super Bowl happening a full week into the month helped, and the Colts losing kicked off the off-season on a positive note. The SNOWPOCALYPSE has kept me entertained. The Winter Olympics are a worthwhile distraction. A constant and varied workout routine has made me more energetic. I'm not saying I'm not eager for spring, but hell: it was light in New York City until, like, 5:45 yesterday. I think I can make it another five weeks or so. And then it's the NFL Draft, then summer, then training camps.
Chin up, everyone. We're gonna make it. We always do.
So whaddaya say we celebrate the sunless hell of winter with some hot pale chicks (and shirtless Alexander Skarsgard for the ladies)? Very well, the motion passes.
I want more like this!

What's the first part of a post or article that you usually see? It's the headline, of course. A good headline can actually mean the difference between whether a piece is read or not read. How many books have you picked up simply because the title seemed interesting. If you're like me, the answer is more than one or two.
If you publish web content, a good title or headline is more important than ever before. A book in a store or an article in a magazine may have an attractive photo or cover design to draw the reader in. On the web, however, readers are much more likely to be scanning lists of many articles or posts. Your headline has to grab their attention or you've lost them.
Fortunately, there are some excellent resources that you can use to make your headlines more effective. I've listed a few of them here:

This would have been a wonderful HL map (I do love Xen and rooms that change during the gameplay), if it wasn't for those ridiculously hard jumps! I did all of them without cheating (I had to use noclip twice but made them normally after reloading) and while long-jumping as such is bad enough, I don't understand why the author did move some of the islands so far away from each other that every millimeter counts and in one case obviously on purpose obstructed the jump-in location with some geometry. At least these two bad issues should have been removed when he looked the maps over for the release here. Or maybe he is a sadist who just wanted to make people hate his otherwise great work ;)?
Edited at 12:34 PM, 22nd May 2011 -
I've extracted it to half-life, valve, maps…and combinations of all of them, but it still doesn't load, nor is it "found" on the server…so what IS the right path ?
Thanks for posting this so fast, Phillip. I also would like to thank everyone who takes the time to comment and rate. And thanks for the high ratings, too.
The liblist.gam is needed only if you install the mappack as a mod, in separate folder. If you want to copy it to "valve" folder you only need to copy the "maps" folder.
As for the hard jumps, sorry about that. I did them so many times that I completely forgot that they can be hard for some people. I really didn't mean to frustrate anyone. I actually worked on them, they were even harder in the earlier versions.
I uploaded the map trailer. It includes the walkthrough of almost all jumps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9zDim30TRI -
This mod is excellent, although it is quite short! Fan
It's true, I recognize that in some places it's very hard, especially for jumps and a few fights (I had to cheat) but otherwise it's a quality mod!PLAY IT NOW !

Ducal Jubilee
A preview of the upcoming revised edition of Arcana |
Arcana Revised Edition | Published 15 June 2011 |
The lure of power in Cadwallon draws the most dynamic guilds to a sly competition for complete control. Arcane relics, precious resources, and influential recruits await the guild that can navigate the mysteries of the city's districts.
Recently, Fantasy Flight Games announced the upcoming release of the revised edition of Arcana, a card game of intrigue, bribery, and coercion for 2-4 players. The revised edition of Arcana offers players new guilds and new optional rules that enhance the game's strategic options. Today, we'll examine two of these optional rules that players can incorporate into their Arcana experience: Guild Masters and Random Events.
In Arcana you lead one of six unique guilds, initiates of an exclusive area of power in Cadwallon, vying for domination of the city's districts. Send your agents to secure the aid of influential citizens and gain precious relics in your quest for ultimate authority. The guild with the most victory points wins!
Electing your leader
Every successful guild is led by a strong leader, someone who can offer them a unique advantage. How will your appointed Guild Master bring you to greatness?
Guild Masters are one of the optional variants that players can add to their games to create new challenges.
If this variant is chosen, each player chooses one of three available masters for his guild before the game begins. Each Guild Master has a unique ability that will offer your guild an advantage. However, as some abilities can greatly influence a player's turn, the ability of Guild Masters with a red symbol in the bottom left of their card can only be used once each round. If no symbol is shown beside the text, the ability can be used any number of times during a round.
In the Guild of Fortune-Tellers, Noc-Atlalt, the Lord of Winds, will grant you the ability to thwart an opponent's plan by randomly choosing which card he must play on his next turn. Did you foresee the weakest card to play? Or perhaps you foiled his attempt to bribe a Personality and immediately win the Stake.
Vladar, from the Guild of Architects, is a Guild Master who will allow you to gain an immediate advantage for the next round by taking control of an opponent's discarded Militia card and assigning him to a district. Militia cards are another optional variant that players can add to their game. A Player can discard a Stake card from his hand to obtain the support of the Militia, a Militia card is drawn and assigned to a district for that round and discarded during the Resolution phase.
Who will you choose to lead?
Unexpected occurrences
In the infamous city of Cadwallon anything can happen, and most often does. Your guild's Agents must be prepared for any hidden surprises.
The Random Event card variant introduces round-specific rules to your game. The Ducal Jubilee is randomly mixed in with the last three Event cards in this variant, as opposed to the Neutral District in normal games. The Ducal Jubilee announces the end of the game; when it is revealed you have just one last round of play.
At the beginning of each round the top Event card is flipped and placed in the center of the table, and a second card is flipped and placed on the the top of the Event deck. This card's effect won't apply until the following round, but allows you to view the upcoming effect and gauge the challenge it presents.
Cards such as Festival of Lanterns change the dynamic of card play for the round. Forcing players to play their cards simultaneously on every turn puts tension on each card reveal and placement. Will your neighbor place a bribe when you are placing another guild member? Other cards such as Festival of Ashes can prove challenging or cards like the Day of Abundance can be simply beneficial, especially if your deck is compiled of strong cards.
Look for more previews for the revised edition of Arcana in the coming weeks, and prepare to fight for control when the revised edition of Arcana is released in the third quarter of 2011!
Set in the vibrant city of Cadwallon, Arcana is a card game of intrigue and power for 2-4 players, pitting powerful guilds against one another in a struggle for supremacy.
One of my favourite games - RECOMENDATION
Arcana (first edition) was handled by a different publisher (AEG) this is FFG's core version of this game.
No you aren't required to buy the whole game again. Who said they were making you do that? I didn't know FFG had thugs that go out and force people to buy games. I wonder if they're hiring for that position.
Why the revised version? what was so messed up in the first game that it needs to be totally revised? I'm all for another guild and more options but am I really required to by the whole game again?
The artwork ROCKs! I haven't played the game, but the artwork alone might sell me on it.

No board of advisors.
Although corporate bylaws or investors require some business start-ups to have a full complement of formal directors, most businesses can get by with a leaner, meaner team. Still, in my experience, every company needs a minimum of three advisors to avoid the rocks and shoals of the critical first months and years of its existence. Call it your ABC Team: attorney (business background and experience), business consultant (either finance or management expertise) and CPA (to set the business up and crunch the numbers throughout its progress).
Although you can bring on friends or family members to fill these roles-often working for minimal compensation (or perhaps equity in the firm)-it's crucial not to enlist lap dogs. You need blunt and direct guidance in the early stages of your business, not yes-people.
Sound sounding board
One of the best ways to use members of your advisory board (your CPA or banker, for example) is to have them prequalify your business' spending decisions. Before every prospective purchase or investment, ask them to answer the following:
a. Is this expenditure necessary right now?
b. Will this make me money or cost me money?
c. Is there a cheaper way to accomplish this (outsourcing, leasing, etc.)?

[2017] Cell Signaling Pathways and Nuclear PTEN and FOXO3a Dysregulation in Pleural Mesotheliomas
M Angeles Montero, M Alejandra Gabaldon, M Teresa Salcedo, Natalia Tallada, Teresa Moline, Javier Hernandez-Losa, Enriqueta Felip, Susana Cedres, Santiago Ramon y Cajal. University Hospital Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain
Background: Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a malignant, highly aggressive neoplasia with little understanding of its pathogenesis. Several studies have indicated that activation of Protein Kinase pathways (PKP) contributes to PM proliferation and survival, and others have identified over-expression of several factors (EGFR, MET, IGFR and VEGFR). But there are very few reports about downstream mTOR factors and PTEN. The aim of our work was to identify the possible PKP activation in PM and pleuritis and to determine significant differences between them which explain the lack of response to their targeted therapies.
Design: Thirty-two (32) cases of mesothelioma (22 epithelioid, 4 biphasic and 6 sarcomatoid) and nineteen (19) cases of pleuritis were selected from our files from 2003 to 2010. Formaline-fixed, paraffin-embedded block was used for all the immunostainings and a whole complete section, instead of TMA were studied. The following primary antibodies were used: pmTor, 4E-BP1, p4EB-P1, pS6rb, pMapk, eiF4E, peiF4E, PTEN, pAKT and FOXO3A. Staining intensity, percentage of positive cells and localization of the staining were compared for each marker. To reduce the subjectivity we applied the formula Hscore. The comparative study was performed using the statistical test of Mann Whitney.
Results: PM showed nuclear over-expression of 4EBP1 (p=0.017) and FOXO3a (p=0.0007) and decrease nuclear PTEN (p=0.0004). In the cytoplasm there was a decrease of pS6 (p=0,0001), pmTOR (p=0,0344) and pMAPK (p=0.0921) and increase of eIF4E (p=0,0012). Pleuritis cells showed granular cytoplasmic FOXO3a expression (0.0009) with higher expression of pmTOR, pMAPK, pS6 in the cytoplasm and higher levels of nuclear PTEN than PM.
Conclusions: a) mTOR and MAPK pathways are activated in pleuritis. b) In pleural mesotheliomas, interestingly, cytoplasmic eIF4E overexpression may be predictive of poor prognosis. c) In pleural mesotheliomas vs pleuritis there is a significant down-regulation of nuclear suppressor PTEN activity and nuclear up-regulation of FOXO3a. The study of these factors may open new approaches in the treatment of PM.

Gameboy Plush Toys have Plenty of Personality
Check out these fun Gameboy plush toys I came across in my recent Web travels. Featuring a whimsical, cartoony take on the classic hand-held gaming system, they're the perfect gift for the Nintendo Fanboy or Fangirl in your life.
Created by Wisconsin crafter KungFuCowgirl, each of the squishy game systems has its own unique personality, thanks to the slight variations in each handmade Gameboy.
They measure in at just a wee-bit bigger than an original Gameboy and come in red, yellow, green, pink or teal. They cost just $14 bucks a piece (so why not buy a bunch?) You can find 'em over on Etsy.

Has anyone been here? I have a coupon for $5 off my first purchase and I've never been there. (Not that I have any room but heck - a coupon!) I was thinking of going there this weekend. It's only about an hour away and was wondering if it was worth the trip. |

About an hour away from me also. Where are you located? This is one of my go to nurseries. I order from them every year. Good sized plants, fair prices and great people and service. A safe source to buy from and also a fabulous display garden. Sue Anderson is the current president of the NEHS.

I bought a bunch of hostas at the end of last year at their sale (and in previous years have bought several daylilies from them). I heard about Mason Hollow and looked at their website and was curious. Glad to know - the weather sounds nice on Sunday, think I'll make a trip out there. |

WOW!!! Drooling....how do you all keep from going overboard. I see that some of you put a limit on how many you will buy each year? How's that working out for you? I can't help myself! |

Are you looking for a hardy, green tree that provides you with thick coverage all year? The American Arborvitae is just that. It has a short, stalky trunk and thick, dense green foliage that is used many times in landscapes or as privacy hedges between neighbors in place of fences. This tree can grow up to 40 feet and reach outward spreads of up to 15 feet but can be easily pruned to your specific size. The roots are very large and like to run deep, so well drained, deep soil is a plus when growing this tree. It is often used in blocking the wind away from homes and can withstand heat for periods of time.
Climate Zone: 3 to 8
Mature Height: 25 to 40 feet
Mature Width: 10 to 15 feet
Sunlight: full sun to partial shade
Soil Conditions: deep, well drained soil
Botanical Name: Thuja Occidentalis
