I have a 1 yr. old papaya tree now in bloom. I have recently learned that there are 3 sexes of flowers. Can anyone tell me if these are found on separate plants or on the same plant? My flowers are apparently male, as they are long and slender and not taking to hand pollination. The seed I planted is from a South American/Mexican, elongated variety papaya. |

Hi meilie, I grew mine from seeds.The fruit came from the grocery store so i do not know the variety but i got blooms and fruit.The pictrue is poor but you can see a white bloom just above the lemon sized fruit.john |

If it is a Mexican papaya then it will either be male or female. Sometimes the males do produce fruit, but it is small, about avocado size. They do not produce male and female flowers on the same plant. And, you will need a male plant and a female plant for fruiting. Now, Hawaiian papayas are different and are self-fertile. If your plant is just now blooming it won't have time to ripen the fruit unless you have a very warm greenhouse for winter's duration. They are such attractive plants whether they have fruit or not. The hummingbirds love the male blossoms especially and they smell so good too. |
This article shows the 3 types of flowers: male, female and hermaphroditic. Compare it to yours and see what you've got. |

Gee, I thanks for all the info, (that really is an excellent article) but now I feel gyped! 1) My tree only has male flowers, so no fruit.; 2) The male flowers have no scent. If it weren't for the fact that I salvaged this plant from the compost pile last Fall, I'd be upset that I spent good one money for a non-fruiting, non-scented tropical plant that takes up room in the basement and demands heat and light. ~sigh~ Guess I'll bring in an additional plant (more growing in the compost pile) and hope it's a female! |
Update: I used a fertilizer with iron in it on my male papaya tree and I have spotted at least one hermaphadite or female flower. I may have created a sex change here. I'll let you know if it takes to fruit. The weather is changing here, so hopefully it'll stay warm enough to get some flowers pollinated before I have to take my tropicals indoors. |
My Mexican papaya tree is PREGNANT! Hurray!!! The fruit is about 2x1" torpedo shaped so if all goes well, we will be eating papaya by November! We're having a late, hot spell here in Maryland, so the tree is still outdoors. It will be brought in as soon as it's too chilly for the "baby". I applied more fertilizer w/ iron in it to see it that helps bring more siblings. |

meilie, I'm very glad you made this post. Thanks to the other memebers here that replied as well, esp with the flower pics. I also have a papaya plant here as well. It's in a pot, but I'm afraid I have females. The papaya plant is about 4 feet tall now and has started flowering about a month ago. I am really new to papayas, being that I'm frequently post in the banana forums. I currently don't have the digital camera at the moment, otherwise I'd post a pic. I did get some photos with a 35mm camera tho. With papayas, I'm shocked at how fast they grow. In may, I picked up a very small seedling about 2 inches tall and have repotted it twice already. I only paid 2 dollars for the seedling, so it won't be a big loss for me being that the flowers are female. They are big and fat flowers, and this was the first time I ever saw papaya flowers. |
Hi Gardenguy, Maybe we can get together and have our papayas congregate? What shape are your female flowers (round or elongated)? The sole papaya fruit is now about 3" long and growing. I have nipped the top leaf buds so it will stop growing up and more outwards so when I take it indoors I can have it sit under the lights, not above them. The new buds look to be male with some hermaphadite buds (I hope.). I have potted a new plant thinking I may need it, and I have a few others still growing in the compost pile. If you would like to have one (for cost of shipping), I'll salvage one before the frost hits us. They do go into shock and may lose most of the older leaves, but the tap root is strong and they grow back. |
HI, I'm glad I found this about papaya flowers & it would appear that my 4 plants are hermaphroditic. I do have another question while there are folks raising the plants are around. I have mine in a greenhouse & about two months ago the plants got dry. Ever since then the new leaves are growing curled all over the place. They don't come out flat like they should. I don't see any bugs of any kind so I'm confused. Thanks for your help. |
Papayas are susceptible to a number of viral diseases, several of which can cause curled or distorted leaves. The link shows some of them, but you can google and find more. |

UPDATE: My papaya tree is indoors for the winter. It's under a couple of shoplights w/ "diamond" metal reflective casings, 48" 40 watt bulbs (1 gro light bulb, plus regluar bulbs). These lamps are really quite bright, much brighter than the previous shoplights and they're very reasonable ($25./from HD). The tree is about 7 ft tall, leaves are another foot or so high. The first fruit is now about 3" long and I have more hermaphadite flowers opening! If this proves fruitful, I may have to dump all my other tropicals and start a papaya farm in the basement. I will be bringing in the gingers soon, so it'll have lots of company. Do I dare try a tomato? What a shame the season is over, the Trombone squash are going full swing too. |
Hi All, I have two 18 inch papaya plants growing in a pot since this March. One recently put on what looks like a flower. From the location and shape of the flower I'm guessing is a hermaphrodite. What do you think? Here are two pix Thanks, Andrea |

I have two small trees (4') tall planted from seed (from a red papaya if I remember correctly) Base of "trunk" is about 1.5" and all leaves are on top 18". I have not seen any sign of flowers. The trees are about two years old and live in great SW light under large skylights. They are in fairly small pots - 9". Should they have flowered already and, if not, does anyone have ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Alan Smith |
I heard a story from a friend of mine in Miami that if you drove a nail into the stem of male plant it would change into a female. I have no idea if this works. Around here the plants sprout up all over the place like weeds. |

Hi We have a few types of papayas including a rare dwarf papaya from the philippines. I even have one that has both male and female flowers on the same tree. Today I read a realy great blog article on papayas and had loads of information http://nipahutgardens.com/blog.asp?view=plink&id=135 It even shows you how to grow the plant in non tropical areas. |

The sex of the papaya tree is a gamble, but the odd are mostly determined on the fruit / parent combination. The mexican "large" variety most popular in markets now, is the Red Maradol. and it is similar in regards to sex chance as the Hawaiian varieties. the elongated torpedo shaped fruits are from Hermaphrodite so here is how the percentages work out. TREE______Pollinator__________Male_____FEM_____HERM HERM______MALE_________________33%______33%_____33% HERM______HERM__________________0%______33%_____66% Female____HERM__________________0%______50%_____50% Female____MALE__________________50%_____50%_____0% Example, if all your trees are Hermaphrodite, and they are the only pollinators, your seeds, will have a 66% chance of growing to be Hermaphrodite, and 33% chance of becoming female trees. A hermaphrodite tree pollinated by a male, will give you equal chance 33% male 33% Female and 33% Herm. Most papaya plantations work to have as many Hermaphrodites as possible. so if you get seeds from an elongated ( hermaphrodite ) fruit. it was most likely pollinated by another Herm. or self pollinated, which would result in a 66% chance that those seeds will be Hermaphrodite. Hermaphrodites are preferred not only because they can self pollinate, but also because the elongated fruit on those trees is more productive ( more fruit mass per tree ). and is usually preferred by consumers. commercially, farmers will plant 4 seedlings per location, and. with seeds that have a 66/33% Herm / Fem. chance. this way there is only about a 7% chance that all 4 would become female, and they can have a field that is over 90% hermaphrodite. I know that some funky GMO stuff is happening now, and all these rules of thumb will get tossed out the window. personally, I stay away from anything GMO. |

amazondk, driving a nail through a tree is an old trick to put it into shock. naturally a plant in shock will try to produce as much seeds as possible before its perceived death. the plant your friend did this on was probably hermaphrodite, meaning it had the ability to produce both flowers. what happens sometimes is these flowers only flush one sex at a time preventing pollination. if it produced both sexes, by definition it is not a dioecious variety, which many Papya plants are. the nail probably sent the plant into shock promoting it to flower more prolifically, helping it produce more flowers of both sexes. male flowers are closer to the tree in clusters while female flowers hang lower to eventually hold fruit. they are easily distinguished once you know what to look for |
Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but if I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, then my papaya that is flowering but not fruiting (flowers close to main trunk like the first photo above my post) is capable of producing hermaphrodite flowers? The flowers have no miniature fruit/bulbous ovary so I think the plant may be hermaphroditic and just putting out male flowers due to environmental (dry) or seasonal conditions. |

TIM Program Description
Telecommunications & Information Management (TIM) is an interdsciplinary major
offered through through the Computer Information Systems program, Department of Business Information Systems, Haworth College of Business (HCoB) and the School
of Communication (COM), College of Arts & Sciences. The TIM major is designed to train students in a variety of telecommunications and data communication subdisciplines,
including network operations, cable television, Internet and electronic commerce, telephony,
satelite and wireless communication and information assurance and compliance. The TIM program is the first of its kind in the state of Michigan. TIM prepares students for one of the fastest growing occupations projected by the U.S. Department of Labor (www.bls.gov/emp/emptab21.htm).
There are several reasons for creating this program:
- Convergence of Disciplines
The clear lines and historic boundaries that once separated telecommunications and information technology are becoming less distinct. A natural convergence of industries and information technologies are blurring those distinctions. The principle of convergence can
be seen in the development of such things as satellite and wireless communication, the Internet, eCommece and data base management. The main driving force behind convergence is the digitalization of media, information technology and entertainment. Digital technology improves the quality and efficiency of switching, routing and storing of information.
It increases the potential for manipulation and transformation of data.
- The Value of Interdisciplinary Program Studies at WMU
This program is in keeping with the College of Arts & Sciences strategic plan and the
stated goal to create interdisciplinary programs at Western Michigan University.
The TIM major offers a 21st century approach to the study of telecommunications and information technology by combining people and resources across the greater WMU campus. Working together, Communication and CIS offers prospective majors a uniquely designed program that supports the larger mission of being a student-centered research university.
- Professional Employment Opportunities for our Students
Telecommunications and data communications are among the fastest growing fields in the U.S. economy today. The convergence in both areas necessitate a curriculum that is more reflective of the on-going changes in the field. We have absolute confidence that our students will be among the best trained for the professional skills and knowledge base that this program offers.

Joan Lorring, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in The Corn is Green opposite Bette Davis, died Friday in the New York City suburb of Sleepy Hollow, The Associated Press reports. She was 88.
Lorring was born in Hong Kong and moved to San Francisco in 1939 to escape the Japanese invasion. She started her career in radio and soon moved on to the stage and screen. Her first film was MGM's 1944 production Song of Russia.
In 1946 she was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar for the role of Bessie Watty in The Corn is Green. That year she also appeared alongside Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre in Three Strangers and The Verdict.
On Broadway, she won the Donaldson Award in 1950 for her work in Come Back, Little Sheba. READ FULL STORY

Canonical, the company behind "Ubuntu" has hit yet another milestone with their latest Announcement of Ubuntu and Android dual boot developer preview. Official Dual boot support for Android and Ubuntu was unveiled by Canonical with the claim "Christmas has arrived early". It is still however in developer preview stage and is currently targeted at developers who are familiar with their partition layouts and willing to go about reflashing since the recovery partition will be erased.
Ubuntu now supports many Android flavours and can be built from a "Stock" base. "Dual boot" is a GUI interfaced app to quickly switch between OSes and has been tested with the Nexus 4.
Installing in Dual Boot
1. First step is to install the "Developer Preview Tools". Open a terminal and type the following.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
2. Now, we need an unlocked Android device. This can also be done by enabling USB Debugging on your phone and connecting it in "Fastboot" to your system and opening a terminal and typing
sudo fastboot oem unlock
3. Make sure a current image of your OS is saved in order to return to it.
4. Now, download the installation script to your home directory from here and make it executable with the command
chmod +x dualboot.sh
5. To install dual-boot ("Ubuntu Installer"), run the following command on your desktop with your phone connected.
If you are using a stock rom without a SuperUser app flashed
./dualboot.sh FULL
On non stock OSes like CyanogenMod, use this instead.
./dualboot.sh UPDATE
You phone may reboot several times and finally boot into Android. You should find "Ubuntu Installer" in the Apps section.
6. To install Ubuntu, we need to first clear up space. Type the following command in terminal.
adb shell "su sh rm -rf /cache/*"
Now run the "Ubuntu Installer" app. Choose "Trusty" channel. You will be required to make a few SU(Superuser) grants when prompted.
7. When done, press "Reboot to Ubuntu" to boot to Ubuntu.
Troubleshooting and returning to normal
If something goes wrong or if you need to return to your former state, you will need to reflash recovery and restore from your backup.
Choice is certainly great for the market, especially when one choice does not compromise another. Users should still be able to use their favourite android apps the way they love them and their PC apps just as seamlessly by connecting to monitor and keyboard without ever needing two devices. Canonical may have earned a few cold shoulders among the Linux community, but they definitely deserve credit for one thing.

My father in law gave me an old rear tine tiller that has been setting for 3 years. After cleaning it up and replacing the gas lines and belts it is running. I've never owned one so I was wondering what maintenance is usually required. It is a 5hp briggs 4 cycle engine and says it was manufactured for the CO-OP, but the serial numbers aren't legible. I'm going to change the oil and sparkplug today. What type of oil do I use? Any other recommendations. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The engine manual probably said 30 weight for summertime use. It probably specified the API Service Category like, for example, category SJ or SL oil. For an extended usage including cooler spring and fall use, I use Mobile One 10W-30 synthetic oil in my tiller. If you wanted to use the tiller in the winter, which is unlikely, Mobile One 5W-30 synthetic is what I would use. That's not an issue here in Maine, because our soil is frozen as solid as concrete in the winter. Check the oil before each use and if it begins to get dark, change the oil while the engine is still warm from that use, to get a good drainout. If you had the engine manual, it would tell you how many hours of engine use between oil changes. Better to err on the side of changing oil too frequently. If you don't know the oil capacity of the engine, make sure it is level when you add the oil. I actually use a bubble level for that, because just a little tilt can make a significant difference. I know my engine's oil capacity, but if it isn't level when I add oil, some oil can run out of the fill hole before I get enough oil in. MM |
- Posted by snuffyinatl se (My Page) on Sun, May 14, 06 at 10:49
For summer use, HD-30 from Castrol is what I use. I believe your engine holds 20 ounces. Change roughly every 20 hours of use, or yearly, whichever comes first. If there is a way to check the oil in the gearcase of the tiller, I would also do that. Make sure to check the oil level in the engine before every use. Also keep the air filter clean, and she should be good to go! |

More fantasy teams are eliminated on draft day than any other day during the fantasy season. That's because so many owners go into drafts unprepared or with little more than an evening or two worth of preparation and a newsstand draft guide offering projected rankings or dollar values. Every league has those guys, and pretty much every year you can tell in which half of the standings those teams will finish before the first pitch of the season is thrown.
That's not to say that even the most inept of fantasy owners don't occasionally get lucky and finish in the money, but luck is a part of the game and one that even the best of fantasy owners can't control.
On draft day those advantages come from having a draft plan laid out (and maybe having an alternate draft plan) and being prepared for the draft. By being prepared I don't mean having a prepackaged draft guide (although many of us do use them as cheat sheets), but by having YOUR draft guide, which can be figurative, a prepackaged one with your own personal notes added in or a totally custom one which you've created.
The depth of preparation you put into this should help give you a feel for the value of players you want to draft, a feeling about positional scarcity, multi-positional players, guys with upside, guys likely to regress and cheap speculative targets for the late rounds of draft.
In serpentine drafts it may allow you jump the gun and grab players who you really want before the prepackaged draft guides project them to be taken, and in auction leagues it can lead to a better feel for what YOUR dollar values should be.
And it's in auction leagues that YOUR dollar values matter most. After all, no draft is identical and each league has its own idiosyncrasies. If you've played in a league for a while you probably have a feel for the other competitors. You know who'll do his best to make another owner pay $3 for a guy he wants for a $1. You know who'll build a team around pitching, who will pay extra for players from his favorite team, and you'll know who has the same "must have" guys year after year. All of that should factor into your preparation for draft day
All of this should give you a leg up on value and readiness for your draft. And provided you make your decisions intelligently, with a strong basis in reality with solid analysis, it will put you miles ahead of the weaker owners in your league and plenty of the stronger ones too.
With a plan, and a superior sense of player values in your own league, you'll have a much greater chance of walking away a "winner" on draft day. If you can do that you've taken the first step towards having a championship season.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Washington (CNN) -- The United States will name Iran, as well as its
Central Bank, as a "primary money laundering concern" Monday, but will not
place sanctions directly on the bank, a senior Treasury Department
official said.
The United States will also sanction a number of Iranian companies
allegedly supporting Iran's nuclear program, the official said.
The Treasury Department announced that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will hold an afternoon news conference
"to outline new steps the United States is taking to increase pressure on
U.S. officials have been considering action against the Central Bank of
Iran but became concerned that a full sanction could have a negative
effect on the world economy because of the potential impact on oil prices.
A number of congressional members have been calling for sanctions against
the bank amid questions about how much the current spate of sanctions are
actually working.
U.S. sanctions already prohibit American companies from doing business
with Iran.
The United Kingdom also announced Monday it will impose fresh sanctions
against Iran, cutting all financial ties with the country over concerns
about its nuclear program.
U.S. diplomatic sources told CNN Saturday that the goal of the new
measures is to bar foreign companies from doing business with Iran's
petrochemical industry by threatening to ban them from U.S. markets. The
sources did not want to be named because they are not authorized to speak
on record before officials roll out the sanctions.
Plans for the additional sanctions come on the heels of a report by the
U.N. nuclear watchdog agency detailing evidence that the Iranian regime is
developing the technology needed to build a nuclear weapon.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday
that Iran is probably less than a year away from reaching the point at
which it will be too late to stop its nuclear program.
"It's true that it wouldn't take three years, probably three quarters,
before no one can do anything practically about it because the Iranians
are gradually, deliberately entering into what I call a zone of immunity,
by widening the redundancy of their plan, making it spread over many more
sites," Barak said on "Fareed Zakaria GPS."
On Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency board of governors
issued a resolution expressing "deep and increasing concern about the
unresolved issues regarding the Iranian nuclear program." But the U.N.
agency's resolution did not threaten action to curb Iran's nuclear
Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and has called the U.N.
watchdog's report "unbalanced" and "politically motivated."
The Obama administration is facing increased pressure from Congress to
turn up the heat on Iran, including sanctioning the Central Bank.
Last week, Republican Sen. Mark Kirk introduced an amendment that would
impose sanctions on foreign financial institutions that do business with
the Central Bank.
U.S. officials have said the administration has been reluctant to cut off
the bank out of concern it could drive up oil prices and hurt the U.S.
But the diplomatic sources said the United States has discussed possible
sanctions on the bank that would limit some financial transactions, but
not cut it off completely.

Around 200 people hurled rocks at police and set cars ablaze in a Stockholm suburb during a third night of rioting, which residents said was triggered by the fatal police shooting of a man wielding a knife.
Dozens of windows were smashed, 10 cars and several containers were set on fire, and seven police officers were injured on Tuesday.
Police said five people were being held over the rioting, and six others had been released after questioning.
Cars and containers were also set ablaze in Fittja, another Stockholm suburb, although police said it was not clear whether the two events were linked.
The unrest began on Sunday night. A May 13 incident in which police killed a 69-year-old man who had locked himself in an apartment in Husby, west of Stockholm, has been cited by some residents as the trigger of the riots, but bigger frustration among youth has also been cited as the reason.
Around 80 percent of the roughly 11,000 residents of the suburbs are first- or second-generation immigrants.
Police have refused to give the nationality of the victim of the shooting.
Many local residents see the shooting as an example of police brutality, and the violence has stirred debate in Sweden.
Tense atmosphere
The country, known for its strong welfare state and egalitarian society, has had the biggest surge in inequality of any Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country over the past 25 years, according to a recent publication by the global economic watchdog.
Commenting on the violence, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said: "This is not OK. We will not give in to violence.
"We must all help out to regain calm. The residents of Husby need to get their neighbourhood back."
Reinfeldt added that Husby has been going in the right direction during his seven-year tenure, with employment increasing and crime falling.
Al Jazeera's Rory Challands, reporting from Husby, said that local authorities are doing their best to assimilate new immigrant arrivals.
"Husby is not some slum that the state has abandoned," he said.
The atmosphere was tense on Tuesday, with residents expressing both anger at police and sadness about the destruction. City workers were seen clearing the debris of a burnt-out container and documenting fire damage.
Reza Al Bazi, 14, and his friend Sebastian Horniak, 15, said they witnessed the violence throughout the night.
Horniak claimed he saw police firing warning shots in the air and calling a woman a "monkey."
"I got upset yesterday because I saw police attack innocent people, they beat a woman with a baton," he said.
Horniak's claims of racist remarks were backed up by the organisation Megafonen, which represents citizens in Stockholm's suburbs.
Prosecutors have launched an internal probe into the shooting. Police say they shot the man in self-defence because he attacked them with a knife when they broke down the door to an apartment where he had locked himself up with a woman.

Back on Friday, HTC's executive director of product management announced that the One Max on Verizon should receive an OTA update bringing the latest version of KitKat after the weekend. Well, Monday's here, and so is the update. Verizon HTC One Max owners should now or soon receive an update notification that looks an awful lot like this one.
HTC has put a deal of effort into getting speedy updates out for the HTC One, and the Verizon version of the phone received the update at the beginning of February. Unfortunately, One Max owners have had longer to wait for the newer software, even though HTC has promised that it's on its way. Well, now we have a date. HTC's executive director of product management has now announced via Twitter that the Sense 5.5 and Android 4.4.2 update has received technical approval from Verizon.
Well, that didn't take long. After getting word yesterday that the update was ready, Ma Bell has started rolling out Android 4.4.2 KitKat to the HTC One Mini. Along with 4.4.2, the update includes HTC Sense 5.5 with all the OEM-specific tweaks you'd expect.
It looks like AT&T and T-Mobile are gearing up to push Android 4.4. and Sense 5.5 to their respective variants of the HTC one, according to HTC Executive Product Manager @moversi.
T-Mobile HTC One Owners! We have received technical approval for 4.4 OS + Sense 5.5! Expect the OTA out shortly! Thank you for your patience
— Mo (@moversi) February 21, 2014
Another Great News! We have received AT&T's technical approval for the HTC One w/4.4 + Sense 5.5.
It's been half a year since HTC's impressive upgrade to the Butterfly hit shelves, and in all that time it hasn't received a significant update. But if a report from well-known HTC insider LlabTooFeR is correct, the Butterfly S is in the process of being upgraded to Android 4.3 right now. It's also getting the slightly newer Sense 5.5, as seen on the HTC One Max, and decidedly not seen on updated versions of 4.3 for the original One in the United States.
ROM maker mike1986 has shared screenshots of the upcoming version of Sense 5 that provide an in-depth look at what HTC has been up to. Sense 5 is already an attractive and relatively light UI, and version 5.5 seems to bring in changes that should address some of peoples' largest criticisms. For starters, BlinkFeed is now optional, and turning it on and off is as easy as picking a default home screen.

Sita( also written as sitha ) (Devanagari: सीता, listen (help·info), also spelled Seetha or Seetha, meaning "from the furrow") is the central female character of the Hindu epic Ramayana and was born in Sitamarhi present day Bihar, India and raised in Janakpurdham present day Mithila, Nepal.[1][2] She is the consort of the Hindu God Sri Rama (avatar of Vishnu) and is an avatar of Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth and wife of Vishnu. She is esteemed as a paragon of spousal and feminine virtues for all Hindu women.[3] Sita is known for her dedication, self-sacrifice, courage and purity.
Etymology and other names[edit]
She is best known by the name Sita, derived from the Sanskrit word sīta, which means furrow.[4] According to Ramayana, Janaka found her while ploughing as a part of a yagna and adopted her. The word sīta was a poetic term in ancient kingdom of Nepal & India, its imagery redolent of fecundity and the many blessings coming from settled agriculture. The Sita of the Ramayana may have been named after a more ancient Vedic goddess Sita, who is mentioned once in the Rigveda as an earth goddess who blesses the land with good crops. In the Vedic era, she was one of the goddesses associated with fertility. A Vedic hymn (Rig Veda 4:57) recites:
" | Auspicious Sita, come thou near;
We venerate and worship thee |
" |
In Harivansha Sita has been invoked as one of the names of goddess Arya:
" | O goddess, you are the altar's center in the sacrifice, The priest's fee |
" |
The Kausik-sutra and the Paraskara-sutra associate her repeatedly as the wife of Parjanya (a god associated with rains) and Indra.[4]
Sita is known by many epithets. She is called Jānaki as the daughter of Janaka; Maithili as the princess of Mithila'.[5] As the wife of Sri Rama, she is called Ramā. Her father Janaka had earned the sobriquet Videha due to his ability to transcend body consciousness; Sita is therefore also known as Vaidehi.[5]

Sita was born at sitamarhi in [Bihar, India] and raised in Janakpur of Mithila, Nepal in Eastern-Madhesh Plain of Southern Nepal.[6] [7][8][9][10][11][12]
- Valmiki's Ramayana: In Valmiki's Ramayana and Kamban's Tamil epic Ramavataram, Sita is said to have been discovered in a furrow in a ploughed field of Sitamarhi, and for that reason is regarded as a daughter of Bhūmi Devi[13] (the goddess earth), Sita Birthstar is Ashlesha Constellation in Chaitra month. She was discovered, adopted and brought up by Janak, king of Mithila, and his wife Sunayana.
- Ramayana Manjari: In Ramayana Manjari (verses 344–366), North-western and Bengal recensions of Valmiki Ramayana, it has been described as on hearing a voice from the sky and then seeing Menaka, Janaka expresses his wish to obtain a child. And when he finds the child, he hears the same voice again telling him the infant is his spiritual child, born of Menaka.[12]
- Janka's real daughter: In Ramopkhyana of the Mahabharata and also in Paumachariya of Vimala Suri, Sita has been depicted as Janaka's real daughter. According to Rev. Fr. Camille Bulcke, this motif that Sita was the real daughter of Janaka, as described in Ramopkhyana Mahabharata was based on the authentic version of Valmiki Ramayana. Later the story of Sita miraculously appearing in furrow was inserted in Valmiki Ramayana.[12]
- Reincarnation of Vedavati: Some versions of the Ramayana suggest that Sita was a reincarnation of Vedavati. Ravana tried to molest Vedavati and her chastity was sullied beyond Ravana's redemption when she was performing penance to become consort of Vishnu. Vedavati immolated herself on a pyre to escape Ravana's lust, vowing to return in another age and be the cause of Ravana's destruction. She was duly reborn as Sita.[12]
- Reincarnation of Manivati: According to Gunabhadra's Uttara Purana of the ninth century BCE, Ravana disturbs the asceticism of Manivati, daughter of Amitavega of Alkapuri, and she pledges to take revenge on Ravana. Manivati is later reborn as the daughter of Ravana and Mandodari. But, astrologers predict ruin of Ravana because of this child. So, Ravana orders to kill the child. Manivati is placed in a casket and buried in the ground of Mithila where she is discovered by some of the farmers of the kingdom. Then Janka, king of that state adopts her.[12]
When Sita reaches adulthood, Janaka organises a swayamwara with the condition that Sita would marry only that person who would be able to string Pinak Dhanu (bow of Shiva). Janaka knew, the bow of Shiva was not even liftable let alone stringable for ordinary mortals, and for selfish people it was not even approachable. Thus, Janaka tries to find the best husband for Sita.
At this time Vishvamitra had brought Sri Rama and his brother Lakshmana to the forest for the protection of sacrifice. Hearing about this swayamwara, Vishvamitra asks Sri Rama to participate in it and takes Sri Rama and Lakshmana to the palace of Janaka. Janaka is greatly pleased to learn that Sri Rama and Lakshmana are sons of Dasharatha. Next morning, in the middle of the hall, Sri Rama lifts up the bow of Shiva with his left hand, fastens the string tightly and finally breaks the bow. However, another incarnation of Vishnu, Parashurama, became really angry as the bow belonged to Lord Shiva and it was broken. However, he does not realise that Sri Rama is also an incarnation of Vishnu, therefore after being informed of this, he apologises for getting angry. And thus Sri Rama fulfils Janaka's condition to marry Sita. Later on Vivaha Panchami, a marriage ceremony is conducted under the guidance of Satananda. Sri Rama marries Sita, Bharata marries Mandavi, Lakshmana marries Urmila and Shatrughna marries Shrutakirti.[2]Janaki Mandir
Exile and abduction[edit]
Some time after the wedding, one of the mothers of Sri Rama was compelled into making Bharata king in order to use one of the boons that she received from Dasharata. She was forced by one of the workers of the palace named Manthara (whose name is not spoken in order to avoid bad luck in some traditions) and forced Sri Rama to leave Ayodhya and spend a period of exile in the forests of Dandaka and later Panchavati. Sita and Lakshmana willingly renounced the comforts of the palace and joined Sri Rama in braving exile, even living in the Dandaka and Panchavati forests. The Panchavati forest became the scene for Sita's abduction by Ravana, King of Lanka. Ravana kidnapped Sita, disguising himself as a brahmana mendicant, or begging holy-man, while her husband was away fetching a magnificent golden deer to please her. Some versions of the Ramayana describe that Sita takes refuge with the fire-god Agni, while Maya Sita, her illusionary double, is kidnapped by the demon-king. Jatayu, the vulture-king, who was a friend of Dasratha (Sri Rama's father), tried to protect Sita but Ravana chopped off his wings. Jatayu survived long enough to inform Sri Rama of what had happened.
Ravana took her back to his kingdom in Lanka, and Sita was held as a prisoner in one of his palaces. During her captivity for a year in Lanka, Ravana expressed his desire for her; however, Sita refused his advances and struggled to maintain her chastity. Hanuman was sent by Sri Rama to seek Sita and eventually succeeded in discovering Sita's whereabouts. Sita gave Hanuman her jewellery and asked him to give it to her husband. However, Hanuman was caught by Lankan forces. As punishment for trespassing in Lanka and seeing Sita, Hanuman was punished by having his tail set on fire. As a result of his punishment and due to his superior strength, Hanuman was able to escape after his tail had been set on fire and he burnt down much of Lanka before returning across the sea to his Lord SriRama.
Sita was finally rescued by Sri Rama, who waged a famous battle to defeat Ravana. Upon rescue, Sri Rama worried about the future of human society – that no man or woman may use this as an excuse to live with each other without marriage – makes Sita walk on fire to prove her chastity.
In some version of Ramayana, during this test the fire-deity Agni appears in front of Sri Rama and hands over him the real Sita as during the abduction she was already taken away from Ravana, while he was fighting with Jatayu. Whom Ravan took to Lanka there-after is Chhaya-Sita, a shadow of Sita.[citation needed]
The Thailand version of the Ramayana, however, tells of Sita walking on the fire, of her own accord, to feel clean, as opposed to jumping in it. She is not burnt, the coals turn to lotuses. Walking on live coals is still a common custom in the South of India.[citation needed]
Abandonment and later life[edit]
The couple came back to Ayodhya, where Sri Rama was crowned king with Sita by his side. While Sri Rama's trust and affection for Sita never wavered, it soon became evident that some people in Ayodhya could not accept Sita's long captivity under the power of Ravana.
During Sri Rama's period of rule, an intemperate washerman, while berating his wayward wife, declared that he was "no pusillanimous Sri Rama who would take his wife back after she had lived in the house of another man". This statement was reported back to Sri Rama, who knew that the accusation of Sita was baseless. Nevertheless, he would not let slander undermine his rule, so he sent Sita away.
Thus Sita was thus forced into exile a second time; she was not only alone this time but also pregnant. Abandoned Sita wandered about in the forest and at last reached the hermitage of Valmiki who gave her refuge in his hermitage, where she delivered twin sons named Kusha and Luv or Lava. The other hermits discouraged Valmiki giving Sita shelter and protection and saying, "Sita is impure, otherwise her husband would not have abandoned her".[2]
In the hermitage, Sita raised her sons alone, as a single mother.[14] They grew up to be valiant and intelligent, and were eventually united with their father. Once she had witnessed the acceptance of her children by Sri Rama, Sita sought final refuge in the arms of her mother Bhūmi. Hearing her plea for release from an unjust world and from a life that had rarely been happy, the Earth dramatically split open; Bhūmi appeared and took Sita away to a better world (that is, back to Sri Rama in the form of Vishnu in Vishnu's abode).
Speeches in the Ramayana[edit]
While the Ramayana mostly concentrates on Sri Rama's actions, Sita also speaks many times during the exile. The first time is in the town of Chitrakuta where she narrates an ancient story to Sri Rama, whereby Sri Rama promises to Sita that he will never kill anybody without provocation.
The second time Sita is shown talking prominently is when she speaks to Ravana. Ravana has come to her in the form of a Brahmin and Sita tells him that he doesn't look like one.
Some of her most prominent speeches are with Hanuman when he reaches Lanka. Hanuman wants an immediate union of Sri Rama and Sita, and thus he proposes to Sita to ride on his back. Sita refuses as she does not want to run away like a thief; instead she wants her husband Sri Rama to come and defeat Ravana to save her.
A female deity of agricultural fertility by the name Sita was known before Valmiki's Ramayana, but was overshadowed by better-known Goddesses associated with fertility. According to the Ramayana, Sita was discovered in a furrow when Janaka was ploughing. Since Janaka was a king, it is likely that ploughing was part of a royal ritual to ensure fertility of the land. Sita is considered to be the child of the Mother Earth, produced by the union between the king and the land. Sita is a personification of the Earth's fertility, abundance, and well-being.
Sita has been a much revered figure amongst the Hindus. In the blurring of the boundary between religion and mythology, between history and fiction, she has been portrayed as an ideal daughter, an ideal wife, and an ideal mother. These portrayals of her never change, and are more or less constant in various texts, stories, illustrations, and even movies and modern media. Sita is often worshipped with Sri Rama as his consort. The occasion of her marriage to Sri Rama is celebrated as Vivaha Panchami.
The actions, reactions and instincts manifested by Sita at every juncture in a long and arduous life are deemed exemplary. Her story has been portrayed in the book Sitayanam.[15] The values that she enshrined and adhered to at every point in the course of a demanding life are the values of womanly virtue held sacred by countless generations of Nepalese and Indians.
What is ambiguous is her portrayal as an ideal queen. Was she a good statesperson? Was she a warrior? Her sacrifices and actions are most often portrayed in her personal capacity and not as a governance figure. Sita was abducted because she had to step out of the safety line to give alms to Ravan disguised as a Brahmin. The giving of alms to Brahmin in those times was more of a duty to be performed, rather than an optional charitable act. This held true more so for the royals and they were to lead by example. Also, the incident of Sita's refusal to come back with Hanuman like a common thief, her renunciation of queen-hood and exile from Ayodhya after her return. All her key aspects are shown in a favourable light, but not as a head of state, but as an ideal woman. This is in stark contrast to Sri Rama, who is always portrayed as an ideal king who was just and fair and always thought of his people before all else in addition to being depicted as an ideal husband and an ideal son.
Popular culture sees Sita as an abla naari or a helpless woman. She is portrayed as someone who needs support and assistance of the male folk in the myth. However, this would have to be balanced with Sita's steadfast demonstration of honour and dignity, compelling her to both enter the fire and to ask Mother Earth to take her from a setting filled with pain and misunderstanding. In this light, Sita becomes a complex figure of what it meant to be a woman in ancient India.[citation needed]

For as cheap as this...
Verified Purchase
For as cheap as this pencil is, and as few complaints I have, what's not to
Its mechanism never has failed on me, although compared to other shaker pencils it does require quite a bit stronger of a shake (which I seem to need to do quite frequently, more on that in a moment). The grip isn't all that comfortable though, it's kind of a hard rubber. It's definitely not soft. I wouldn't call it uncomfortable though, I can take notes for a class with it with no problem at all. It is definitely a heavier pencil though, thicker too -- which leads me to my one real qualm with it. Because of its weight, I feel that I end up applying a lot more pressure when I write with this pencil, causing me to end up laying down a thicker line. I have really small handwriting, and so this isn't the greatest thing for me, but at the same time, I do enjoy writing with this pencil a lot. If you don't have super tiny handwriting, this is definitely a good pencil to pick up! |

Verified Purchase
I'll give it this -- it works as intended.
It works, it's never broken on me, so I don't feel justified in giving it less than a mediocre rating, but at the same time, I do dislike this pencil. I hardly ever write with it, compared to my alpha-gel shaker pencils or my kuru togas. It's mechanism feels cheap (and is cheap) as well as the plastic grip just seems kind of low quality. Like it might start degrading or something. As someone mentioned previously, the eraser is actually super easy to lose. I lost mine for about a week once, it was kind of funny. The other thing is, it's a fairly thick pencil, and I have really small handwriting, so that kind of makes things difficult for me. If you want my opinion, go get an orange AirBlanc. They're beautiful pencils, and the 0.3 lead size is amazing. They're also >$5 and feel like much better construction. |

I found this pen and...
I found this pen and the ink that came with it of very high quality.
The body of the pen is very sleek, overall great aesthetics in my opinion. Definitely a plus. The ink dries quickly, is waterproof and smudge-proof, which is great for any kind of watercolor sketches or any kind of art. The 01 nib is pretty smooth (although it does catch on the page rarely (albeit very rarely) but that's usually when I'm using it when writing and not drawing and applying a little more pressure than I probably should). I love the fact that the pen body has room to store an extra ink cartridge so that you always have a spare ready. The line the pen lays down is very consistent, flow is great! The only real complaint I have is about comfort -- the threaded grip area is not so great for holding for extended periods of time, but that really depends on how tightly you grip your writing utensils. Overall a great buy for as cheap as it is. I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a precision nib that doesn't want to have to mess with a dip pen or manga nibs and a holder. 1 person found this helpful

In response to the other reviewer: uhhh.... did you look at the dimensions or
the description? It's a pair of scissors to go on a keychain that has all of a
.9 inch blade... what were you expecting? The smoothest gliding scissors you'd
ever purchased ever for the great price?
Anyway, on to a legitimate review: [Preface: I'm a student, all my stationary goes towards academic purposes] I have a Lihit Lab Teffa Pen Case ( http://www.jetpens.com/Lihit-Lab-Teffa-Pen-Case-Book-Style-Orange/pd/7667 ) among several other cases and I definitely love throwing these in my bag so that I can cut a small section of a sticky note or something to paste in my notes when I need to add some temporary detail, or just anything along those lines. Definitely when I need to trim something in the middle of class, they're totally awesome to have. A star was deducted because as the other reviewer mentioned, they really aren't the best scissors ever and they can be difficult to open sometimes, but once you've got them open, they totally do their job. They're also a lot of fun to have -- a girlfriend got them for me as a gift and they seem very toy-like to have, both kinda cute and functional. The price might be a little bit much, but I totally enjoy having them. -Testa |

rating I do is because I loved the ink color that came with it! I could get it
to write for maybe two or three sentences and then it would bug out on me and
wouldn't write and I'd have to apply a ton of pressure on a blotting sheet so I
could get the ink to flow properly again. I hope I just got a dud and that I can
expect higher quality in the future from Kaweko -- my other experiences with
them have been great.

I really regret dishing...
I really regret dishing out the money on this one. It's made me very sad.
My two biggest complaints are 1.) Construction and 2.) Lead-Feeding Now don't get me wrong, I think it has a wonderful body, but it could use some better mechanisms. What so specifically makes me cringe is the cap on this pencil, the cap rattles ALL the time, not a very snug fit. The bottom and actual mechanisms are all well done, except for this cap. If I'm going to dish out $45 on something I can buy for $3, I really want it to be perfect, y'know? 2.) Feeds WAY too much lead for me! I may press fairly hard, but I'm not someone who breaks their lead in all their pencils, so I think it's telling that I constantly break lead in this pencil. -Testa 1 person found this helpful

Hey guys, i know you...
Hey guys, i know you guys are all excited about Signo ink, but i have news.
Jetstream refills fit this.
So do what you will with this information. Just on the side, completely irrelated, a jestream pen with alpha gel is more. Just in case you want a very smooth writing comfortable pen. The cheap comfort of this pen and its refillableness warrant the five star rating I'm giving it. I will make no comments about its horrible inconsistent skippy atrocious ink. 1 person found this helpful

If it were purely a question...
Verified Purchase
If it were purely a question of quality, I would give this product a 5/5 star
rating. However, the cost of this lead ($3.30 for 15 sticks) makes it nearly a
quarter for every stick of lead you use. I think the prices are too high.
The quality of the lead is outstanding. This lead rarely breaks, chips, or smears. The lead is quite noticeably darker than HB, something more in between what I would call B and 2B. Maybe we need to call it 1.5B (hahaha). But in all seriousness, if you're looking for a darker lead for every day writing, this lead isn't too soft at all for practical use. I use this lead almost every day in Kokuyo notebooks, I find it improves my small handwriting and provides a darker line without being more difficult to erase whatsoever or more easily smudged. 6 people found this helpful

I thought I was getting...
I thought I was getting a great deal for a pencil that had a retractable nib,
but no. The nib has TOO much wobble in it. The retractable nib makes no
difference to me if the nib is a piece of junk. The nib wobbles about a full
millimeter in whatever direction you aren't trying to move the pencil.
It's a nice design, but terrible mechanics. Only reason I give it more than a 1 star is because if held at gun-point, I might be able to bring myself to use it. That, and it's better (in some regard...) than a pencil that didn't have a retractable nib with the same amount of wobble. I'd give it a 1.5 if I could. TL;DR Bad pencil, too much wobble. |

Verified Purchase
I posted my review for it a little while ago, and read that if you want to know
absolutely how GLORIOUS this pencil is, but after several months now, I came
back and saw a couple more reviews (and I'm considering getting another
color...not sure which yet) and one user posted "it's cheap enough so I'm not
worried about losing or breaking mine."
HOLDUP. Just cuz it's cheapo don't mean I don't love it like my heart and soul. If I lose this, I will die. So beautiful. Basically this is all to say that it's such a high quality pencil I feel like I'd have lost a $10~$15 pencil if I lost it... Gladly, I will be able to replace it if I do lose one... I love you, Jetpens. Marry me. 2 people found this helpful

Inside Out 325: Safe Haven for Trafficked Minors
Jan 27, 2015 |
05.01.13 |
Leaders--even church leaders--feel lonely. Yes, they are surrounded by people. Yes, they are part of that interconnected community that God calls His Body. Still, many pastors, committee leaders, and mentors in the church fell isolated, and the reasons they feel alone are connected to the very responsibilities they bear as leaders.
"Spiritual leaders are often looked to as someone who can care for and mentor others--guide them spiritually," our guest Keri Wyatt Kent says. "And they often wrestle with the questions: 'Well, who's mentoring me? Where do I take my questions and my doubts? And if I'm supposed to be a role model, leader, encourager--who does that for me?' And there's nothing like doubt to make you feel alone."
Join us for a wide ranging conversation about some of the pressures leaders feel, as well as the benefits of slowing down, spending time in solitude with God, and developing community with those who understand the pressures of leadership. Adding spiritual disciplines to an over-full life may seem like the last thing a leader ought to do, so we also talk about the need to prune away even good activities so that leaders can say "yes" to those things God has in mind for them.
"One of my mentors said, 'You have all the time you need to do the things that God has called you to do.' But the problem is many of us say 'yes' to things that God has not called us to. We say 'yes' to what people have called us to. I think this is especially true in the church."
To combat this, "leaders need to get clear on calling," Keri says. "Because I believe we all have what I call a 'holy yes,' the 'yes' that God is asking us to say. But when we say 'yes' to the things He's not asking us to do, it gets in the way of that. And so we have to say 'no' to what He's not calling us to do. But we need to get clarity about that first."

Today Jeff Rae (@jeffrae), a self-described rabble rouser, agitator, organizer and labor activist, posted a letter to Scribd that he received from Twitter informing him that the micro-blogging platform had received a legal process for information related to his account. The letter said that the legal process "requires Twitter to produce documents related to your account" in seven days unless he's filed a motion to "quash the legal process."
Earlier this year, New York City subpoenaed Twitter demanding that they handover tweets and user information belonging to Malcolm Harris (@destructuremal). Mr. Harris, who had been tweeting live from last year's Brooklyn Bridge march where hundreds were arrested, received a letter from Twitter to inform him that his account had attracted the government's ire.
In an email, Mr. Harris told Betabeat that a hearing is scheduled for later this month where, "hopefully the judge will decide to quash the prosecution's subpoena." He believes that the subpoena is related to a disorderly conduct charge—the same charge leveled against hundreds of demonstrators by the NYPD on October 1, 2011.
Both Mr. Rae and Mr. Harris were arrested during events related to the Occupy Wall Street protests, but Mr. Harris also pointed out that no one is suggesting a relationship between either of the subpoenaed accounts.

I don't think you should have a problem running Linux. Windows tends to take up more resources then Linux, so it's safe to say that if you can run XP on the computer you can run any version of Linux on it.

But what if you suffer from seasonal allergies?
According to WebMD, about 40 million people in the U.S. have some type of "indoor/outdoor" allergy, known as seasonal allergies, hay fever, or allergic rhinitis. There are so many ways you can defend yourself from getting seasonal allergies:
1. keep your doors and windows closed
2. use allergy filters on your air conditioning unit and change them regularly
3. washing your clothes and taking a shower after you've been exposed to pollen and mold spores
4. avoid doing yard work or exercising outdoors on days when pollen counts are high
That's why I was thrilled to participate in the all® free clear laundry detergent Spring allergen campaign. I have been using this brand for many years because of my dermatologist's recommendation. After I delivered my first baby, Gabriel, in 2005, I started suffering from mild eczema and since then, I have only been using all® free clear laundry detergent for my clothes. Not only that it's a great product to rinse my family's clothes clean, it's also safe on our skin and has a gentle, hypoallergenic formula. No wonder all® free clear is the #1 recommended detergent brand by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians especially for people with sensitive skin. It removes 99% of grass and tree pollen from clothes so that you can enjoy Mother Nature.
And just in time for allergy season, all® free clear launched the Allergen Resource Center on Facebook to help educate consumers about spring allergen removal. If you suffer from allergy, this site offers lots of useful tips and recent information to help you fight both indoor and seasonal allergens. There's also a cool interactive home allergen finder and local daily pollen counter.
Now that the weather is warmer too, it's a perfect time to go out on a picnic with my family! all® free clear is encouraging us to go out and enjoy a nice picnic with these great picnic kit I received from them. I'm so excited and I can't wait to go out on our next family picnic!
How would you like to win the same picnic package as pictured above? Yes, all® free clear wants me to give away one of these picnic kit to one of you, my lucky Hip Mama's Place reader!
This All Free Clear Picnic Kit includes:
- A full size (32 loads, 50 oz.) of all free clear laundry detergent
- A fun Sutherland picnic basket filled with items to enjoy the spring weather with your family: cups, saucers, forks, spoons, a bread knife, a picnic blanket with two matching napkins, salt and pepper shaker set and a bottle opener
- A laundry bag to place the picnic blanket and your family's clothing in after enjoying the outdoors to wash trapped spring allergens
- Additional information about spring allergens

It is of utmost importance that beginners (and intermediates alike) spend the time to learn the instrument thoroughly. Good jazzmen know the notes, scales, arpeggios and melody inside out!
You should also learn to *find* all of this on the fretboard ... (so it can be available to you, "on the spot" when improvising).
Here's an overview to help up and coming jazz guitarists cope with this difficult instrument. In this video, jazz guitar beginners (and perhaps intermediate) will discover three ways to learn to find notes, scales, chords, arpeggios and melodies on the instrument.
Please ask your questions in the "Your Questions" section of JazzGuitarLessons.net. Practice well. (-:
Rhythms are omnipresent in jazz music. African rhythms and European classical harmonies meet in this American art form.
Yet, when is the last time you worked on time or rhythms specifically?
I believe every jazz guitarist should be conscious of the groove. As accompanists and soloists, our "time feel" should compare to drummers, bassists and pianists... (yeah, I know, it's scary!)
Working with the metronome is the first step in time awareness for all musicians. Use it today and you'll be rewarded!
Many elements of the blues are present in traditional jazz improvisation.
In this video, you will learn how to use the "major blues" scale (derived from the major pentatonic) along the (common and well-known!) "minor blues" scale (derived from the minor pentatonic.)
Examples are demonstrated on a blues in the key of C :
Dm7, G7, C7, G7
Please refer to the blues section of this website.
A simple and effective way to outline chord changes while improvising.
Great beginner exercise that sounds good right away!
Most great solos are anchored in the harmony (chords) of the given tune. Learn "what changes" and "what stays the same" at the point of chord change so you can clearly define the harmony.
Please refer to this articles series on jazz improvisation for more info.

I am getting a new roof put on my house and had asked for GAF Timberline Ultra 50yr shingles which the roofer agreed on in the contract. He seemed like he kept leaving subtle hints for Elk Prestique Plus 50yr shingles. He called me a couple of days ago and asked if it would be alright if he used the Elk shingles instead because he could get them this tuesday because he had them in stock in his warehouse and I told him ok over the phone. Now I am wondering if the Elk shingles are cheaper and not as good as the GAF and he is making more of a profit. I asked him if there would be any difference in the price of the roof and he said no. Can anyone tell me if the Elk are cheaper per square than the GAF and which would you prefer as a homeowner or roofing installer. Thanks. |

Consumer Reports rates the GAF Timberline Ultra a bit higher than the Elk Prestique. But, more importantly, the GAF is much more expensive (twice as expensive), and is a heavier shingle. If he is trying to substitute the Elk for the GAF, and not giving you a price break, I would assume he is doing it to make more profit. In reality, they are both probably good shingles, but if he priced the job based on the GAF, you should get the GAF. C |
Thanks cmlawrence, I just called him and he wasn't too excited to hear me ask for the GAF. He told me he was trying to do me a favor so I could get my roof quicker. I told him I was in no rush and would stick with the GAF. |
rokanije, Did you get the GAF roofing? How do you like it? Are you pleased with your choice? Did you get the Golden Pledge warranty (I'm confused as I compare GAF and Elk warranty details). My roofer is a GAF Master Elite contractor but is showing me the Elk products (he says they merged and are the "same"; found some GAF/ELK references--they point to gaf.com ). We are considering the Elk Domain Winslow 50yr shingle, but now I'm wondering if we should consider the GAF Grand Canyon or the Grand Sequoia (both are same catergory as the GAF Timberline Ultra). His proposal states "Elk", so I do not know if requesting GAF will affect the price. The Domain Winslow looks quite thick, but I don't know how it compares to the GAF "equivalents" or counterparts. I have not yet looked for Consumer Reports (will do that next), but I wanted to reply to this item when I saw it. I'm a slow navigator of this stuff, so any help to speed me in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks. |
Hi, Can anyone tell me the name of the roofer. We are expanding the roof up 5 feet and could use some of that OLD stock. We need to cover a 6 x 16 foot area to start and then put the new GAF Ultra HD on the new kitchen. To answer your question: ELK was either bought out or merged with GAF who now carries the same line called Timberlane. The dimensional shingles ELK Prestique 40 Plus are the same color and texture as the Timberland Ultra HD. I know because we still have a few shingles left over from our orginal roof and compared it to the Ultra HD and they are exactly the same in every way. Even the rep at Allied Building Products in Levittown, PA helped us out on that but did not have the shingles in stock. Our contractor told us that 1 package of those shingles were around $35. I don't know how many packages are in a bundle but that should give you an idea of the cost. Either way you go, you cannot go wrong with GAF/ELK. Good Luck. |

An aggressive attempt to clear the creek in San Luis Obispo of homeless people and their trash is underway.
"The creek was really overgrown, and there was trash and bio hazardous material," said Robert Mullins, describing the creek near his home at Laurel Creek.
Behind the complex, between Sacramento Drive and the railroad tracks off Orcutt Road are several homeless camps.
"They don't tend to be there during the day," said Laura Sisk, who walks the neighborhood.
But deep within the thick brush are their sleeping bags and tents, beer bottles, and even syringes.
"I don't want them living in that creek," said Mullins. "They're causing pollution and bringing down home values."
Mullins is fed up with the noise and trash left behind. He has asked the owner of the property and the city of San Luis Obispo to take action.
"It's a multi-agency effort between our Natural Resources Department the City Police and Parks and Recreation," said Lt. Keith Storton of the Police Department. "Our rangers are just trying to help clean up the area so people who own the private property can just move forward from there."
So far, crews "Winterized" about half of the troubled area, clearing away brush and debris so the creek can flow freely. And they are sending transients to shelters.
"we try to provide them with information of the services the city has to offer, and if necessary we'll arrest people who may have warrants, or write citations to those who don't follow our warnings to leave," said Lt. Storton.
Crews will be back Oct. 10 to finish the work.

Depends. What kind of lily are you referring to? Lainey |
Hi My lilliums they are spreading and i would like to transplant some. I know its to late for spring cause they are going to flower soon. I planted 3 and now i have 8 so i need to know when to transplant. Do you think i would damage the frist crop of lilliums Thank you Anna |
Hi Anna It's best to plant lilies in the Fall so they can get their roots established some prior to the spring season, (excepting non cold-hardy lilies grown as annuals). While I have carefully transplanted lilies in the early spring (when the sprout is just a few inches tall) even then you risk damage. If your lilies are close to flowering - transplant shock could very well harm the buds. Even after flowering you want the foliage to feed the bulbs and make them as strong as possible for next season. A little crowding won't hurt them for now. Just mark each with a plant stake so if you forget to transplant until after the foliage dies down you'll still be able to find the bulbs. If the transplanted lily was large enough to bloom this year, it will bloom next year. -Helen |

Quoted from Possum I am highly allergic to sulphur
Quoted from Spring Drive, I think you have made some huge strides since the last time I saw one of your posts! I didn't know you had such a wonderful sense of humor! And even though you are still having problems you sound so much more positive! Good for you!
Quoted from 14922 However when onions, garlic and radishes are fully cooked, I am ok. Interesting.
Quoted from PrincessMia Glad I came accross this thread. I never have gas problems anymore but recently I do. My antibiotics must have sulfer in them. My son had a bad reaction to a sulfer drug last summer.
Quoted from PrincessMia The problem started when I started taking this medication. I am not doing anything different otherwise. The gas has a very strong sulfer smell. I dont know what could be causing it. Unless the meds make me more sensitive to foods I am normally used to . Who knows.
Quoted from ABJoe I think this shows the effect that antibiotics have on your normally functional gut flora. You would probably benefit from some Type based probiotics to aid in the digestive process during and a few weeks after the antibiotic session.
Quoted from Possum Still interested in other people's opinions on this tpic...Pecans seem to bother me less than almonds for instance...
Quoted from marjorie You definitely initiated me to research this topic, and I am scared about what i am reading... I think I should never buy food again!!!
