Fitness, Sports and Blood Pressure.
Summary of "Fitness, Sports and Blood Pressure."
Blood pressure is lowered for a few hours after aerobic exercise, but also after resistance exercise, although for a shorter period of time. An exercise program can significantly lower resting and ambulatory BP measurements. Multiple mechanisms interact for the BP lowering effect, such as decreased total peripheral resistance, enhanced endothelial function, diminished sympathetic or rennin plasmatic activity, structural vascular modifications and baroreceptor reflex modulation. New exercises like eccentric or isometric (handgrip) contractions are promising. Resistance activities have long been considered dangerous for blood vessels because of increased arterial stiffness, but if the intensity remains moderate and aerobic exercises are integrated, then the effects are altogether beneficial.

Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory
Method in which repeated blood pressure readings are made while the patient undergoes normal daily activities. It allows quantitative analysis of the high blood pressure load over time, can help distinguish between types of HYPERTENSION, and can assess the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy.
Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.
A response by the BARORECEPTORS to increased BLOOD PRESSURE. Increased pressure stretches BLOOD VESSELS which activates the baroreceptors in the vessel walls. The net response of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM is a reduction of central sympathetic outflow. This reduces blood pressure both by decreasing peripheral VASCULAR RESISTANCE and by lowering CARDIAC OUTPUT. Because the baroreceptors are tonically active, the baroreflex can compensate rapidly for both increases and decreases in blood pressure.
Venous Pressure
The blood pressure in the VEINS. It is usually measured to assess the filling PRESSURE to the HEART VENTRICLE.

You can work in the garden bare-footed for 10 months out of the year and have to wear sandals for the other two. |

I love gardening in Central Florida because we get two vegetable growing seasons instead of just one. The subtropical climate also allows us to enjoy both tropical ornamentals as well as some things that do better up north. And while the occassional hard freeze knocks the tender things back, this provides an opportunity to refresh, repurpose or other wise redo garden beds. I hated ripping living things out to rework a bed when I lived in South Florida. I don't have that emotional conflict if the plant has been frozen to the ground. |
Gary, LOL! Jane |

Gary, I won't say that those things can't happen, but I will say the chances must be insanely small. So many people go barefoot so often that if to were a common occurance, there should be a veritable epidemic. That said, I'm not talking about working in straight compost while barefoot! |

Insanely small? We've got 7 confirmed cases of dengue fever in my neck of the woods (Rio/Jensen Beach) right now, FWIW. It appears to be slowly working its way north, I'm sorry to say. |

But you can get dengue fever just as easily from a bite on the shoulder as a bite on the foot... however reading up on this virus, I might start putting more insect repellent on when I'm outside. Mosquito populations have gone down since I started being more vigilant about removing standing water from pots and such after rains, but I'm the only one doing so in my immediate vicinity. My other neighbors prefer to hide inside. |
I've lived in tropical Asia for decades & walked barefooted in the house (which is a tradition) & in the gardens/parks with no problem because primarily there are no fire-ants there. I love gardening in Florida, learning about seasons & the beautiful vegetation growable, BUT I would not walk barefooted. Mosquitoes do not necessarily bite your bare feet they can even bite your eyelids or your scalp. My father passed away from dengue fever so it is something I take seriously. The dengue virus is carried by the Aedes mosquito which has already bitten an infected person. Stagnant water under flower pots, in bromeliads leaves, etc should be gotten rid of/hosed down. I repeat, I love gardening in Florida, but please do not take stagnant water and mosquitoes lightly. Please do wear thin long sleeves, relevant footwear and apply mosquito repellent when out in your gardens... then sit back in your screened porch, behind patio doors and admire what Mother Nature has made possible to grow in Florida... at least until cooler weather. :) |
As someone who has spent the last 15 years in the garden wearing only a bathing suit, I have had enough small pollinators attack me and stepped on so many mulch shards that there are days where I feel like a pin cushion. My feet, calloused to the point that I can actually walk on hot beach sand or a paved street without pain, have been a source of heated arguments with my wife; few that I've won. So, as much as I'm still allowed to walk barefoot in the house, flip flops are now required in the garden. However, to respond to the original poster... Reasons I love to garden in Florida: 1. You can garden in Florida all year long. |

Being able garden year round and the large variety of plants we have to choose from. Being able to keep the pond going year round and not have to overwinter anything from it in the house like they have to up north. I have two kiddy pools sitting out back that I keep my extra bog plants in. One gets mosquito rings in it and has several very big tadpoles. The other I've put feeder guppies, minnows, and a single beta in to see how they do at controlling mosquitos. |
Although I don't even go barefoot in my own house (wimpy feet!) I agree with all the reasons posted why it's great to garden here. I like being able to grow things from cuttings in a short time. Also, my garden goes from frozen and dead-looking to large and lush almost every year. What doesn't come back in the spring gets replaced. I usually don't even remember what died. Heck, I've killed more plants then I can count. Somehow my garden is still full! |

The BFCA Gives Prometheus a Provisional Rating
The Critics' Choice website shows Prometheus as already having a rating (score) from the BFCA, the largest film critics organization in North America. We have good reasons to believe the BFCA are still waiting for ratings from most of its members because the critics in question have yet to see Prometheus. Anyhow, check out the tentative score here http://www.criticschoice.com/search?s=prometheus .
To give you a very rough idea of the ratings they've handed out in the past– The Avengers got a rating of 90, Battleship a rating of 52, John Carter a rating of 66, and The Hunger Games a rating of 81. And to get an even better idea, you can research more ratings on the Critics' Choice website here.

Holiday Beaches in Cornwall
Cornwall has the largest coastline of any area in England - that's almost 300 miles of coastline, nine river estuaries and about 300 beaches. We have awns, gugs, inlets, coves, estuaries, beaches, strands, cliffs, headlands, points, islets and islands.
There are great wide areas of golden sand, miles of sand dunes, hidden coves, famous spots and infamous places.
You can paddle in warm sand pools; examine clear salt water rock pools; explore it, amble it and climb it. Fish from it or on it, dive beneath, skim across the top, paddle, splash and sometimes just stand and look in fascinated awe.
If you don't believe the words, click here to see a video of Cornwall's wonderful beaches.
We have a good selection of beaches on the Roseland Peninsula:
Beach |
Description |
Carne | A huge sandy beach about 1 mile long the west part of which is Pendower Beach. There is a slipway down to the beach |
Pendower | A huge sandy beach about 1 mile long the east part of which is Carne Beach. There is a slipway down to the beach. |
Porthcurnick | A wide sandy beach with rock pools and a slipway. |
Portscatho | An attractive fishing village with a beach which is mainly rock but with sandy patches. The beach stretches all the way to Porthcurnick Beach to the North |
Towan | A deceptively spacious sand/pebble beach with rock pools at low tide |
Porthbeor | A Large sandy beach down a steep cliff path with rock pools at low tide |
Little and Great Molunan | Small sandy coves with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. One of the only beaches sheltered from easterly sea breezes, great snorkeling. |
If you are looking to go further afield, the Cornwall Beach Guide provides a list of over 150 of Cornwall's best beaches.

3 Top tips for taking care of your family's gadgets
Different gadgets take different measures to look after them… but there are some common precautions you can take which all gadgets will benefit from.
Screen Care
Nearly every gadget has a screen on it that's vital to its use. Most of us are aware of the danger of cracking your mobile screen, but laptops, games systems like the PSP, and DS lite, even digital cameras, can all suffer too. You can get low costs plastic film screen protectors for all these devices to protect from scratches and sticky fingerprints! Cleaning screens is a good idea, use a microfiber cloth, but don't use artificial cleaners unless they are specially made for the type of screen in question. It sounds obvious but don't put too much pressure on the screen with your fingers, and don't leave the screen exposed to direct sunlight for long periods either.
Sun Protection
No one has invented a sun block for gadgets yet… but it makes sense not to let them get to hot as this can affect the battery, performance and, as mentioned above, the screen. Gadgets left in hot cars are especially susceptible to overheating… and are a real target for thieves too. That's worth remembering if the kids are taking their games consoles with them on trios as some extra in-car entertainment!
Knocks and drops
Gadgets, whether they're at home or out and about with you, are going to get knocked and dropped. If you accept that it will happen then it makes sense to do something about it – like buying a protective case. They are available for just about every type and shape of gadget.
Of course you can't protect your gadgets against every eventuality. That's why protecting yourself – and your pocket – with gadget insurance, makes sense. With Protect your bubble you can cover your gadgets in minutes.

I planted Mayleen last fall and kept looking and looking for it with no luck. I had given up on it and noticed today there is the smallest little growth on it. It just makes me wonder why it was so late. Was it struggling for some reason, or does it always come up this late? |
Follow-Up Postings:

I'm thinking you are at the extreme end of it's hardiness zone. It just may be waking up now. The Montanas are mostly done here but I saw one a couple days ago still flowering. |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Wed, May 5, 10 at 5:46
So, does that mean I have to worry about it coming back each spring? Should I be mulching it heavily over the winter? Thanks |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Wed, May 5, 10 at 13:19
I'm no expert on cold weather gardening but I would guess, yes to both questions. Do you see Clematis montanas growing around your area? |
I am not an expert either, but I would guess that the roots can be easily protected by using mulch, but I am not sure how bud hardy it is. It blooms on old wood, so if buds get killed by the frosts, I'd be disappoingted... There is no point growing a non-blooming Clemmie, right? I planted Montanas 'Brighton Star' and 'Mayleen' two years ago. Last year none of them grew, so I thought they did not make it. This year, I can see a single sprout that resembles Clematis... No blooms of course. Keep my fingers crossed... |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Wed, May 5, 10 at 18:22
No, no point in growing a non blooming clematis, alina. I didn't realize it bloomed on old wood, I didn't think about that when it was on sale. [g] Well, I am going to call Bluestone tomorrow, who sold it to me and see what they have to say. It's listed on their website as being hardy to zone 5 !! |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 12:14
Do either of you see them blooming in other gardens/yards as you drive around your areas? That can often be an indicator more than what zone a plant is listed on the tag/website. They are all over the place here and C. armandiis are too. |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 13:13
buyorsell, I am one of about three gardeners in my neighborhood and everyone else has the standard foundation plantings and lawn and that's about it. [g] No, I don't remember seeing many montanas, but I'm sure I've seen some, it's probably been awhile. I'm not sure I would recognize 'Mayleen'. |
I've never seen any Montana here. It does not mean much though. I saw group III once or twice here (not counting my garden). Needless to say that group III Clematis are fantastic growers in my area. I've never seen marcopetala or alpina here either. My 'Pink Flamingo' and 'Sialia' are rewarding me with wonderful blooming right now. People just buy common group II at HD or Lowe's. I like to grow unique and unusual plants. My family is sick of my hobby, but I can see that DH is happy when visitors and friends make compliments on my flowers :) |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 16:57
I may be abnormal. Any time I get in the car I look at plants in people's yards and commercial landscapes. I do it at home and when traveling. I take different routes because I know certain plants might be blooming or because yards are nicer in that area....I get off the freeway and take side streets for the same reason. Again, I may be abnormal. I'm not saying if you never see it around it won't grow there but if you do see it all over the place you sure know it will. |
You are not abnormal :) Last year, I even took pictures of the commercial landscapes to get some ideas. Clematis are never used in such landscapes here unfortunately, so I have to go with more "cottage" look for my garden to incorporate my Clemmies. Regular gardens and yards are rarely exciting here... Individual specimens are often beautiful, but overall designs are ugly and/or boring. |
I grow two m. Reubens in zone 5. One never bloomed so I transplanted it late fall. It is up and trying to climb the tree I planted it under. The blooming one, climbs a tall viburnum on the north side of the house, protected from winds but in sun most of the day. I'm in N. Wisc. |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Fri, May 7, 10 at 11:12
Many yards here are boring too. I am mostly looking at individual specimens. There are some sections of town with old rock gardens and overall this area is very green. I have more plants in my garden than my entire street put together. It is a short street but there are about a dozen homes on it. There happen to be two huge montanas between my house and the library. One up a tree that you never notice until it blooms and the other all along a fence. I noticed a large flowered Clem the other day too. Poor thing is trying to climb a telephone pole. |

text: Approximately 3,500 walkers representing families, schools, local corporations and other organizations are expected to participate in the Western Massachusetts Walk to Cure Diabetes on Oct. 17 at Six Flags New England in Agawam. Walkers raising $50 or more for JDRF will receive free admission for the day until Six Flags closes at 9 p.m. The walk is one of three to take place this fall by JDRF's North Central CT/Western Mass. Chapter. The chapter's collective fundraising goal for this year's goal is to raise $1 million for research to find a cure for diabetes and its complications. "Our continued involvement with the JDRF walk is rewarding on a very personal level", Morris said. "Rebecca was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes 11 years ago and we have other family members also affected. We know the impact it has on your life and on those who care about you. We want to stay involved and continue to do our part to support JDRF-funded research so our friends and loved ones who are battling this disease won't have to live with it their entire lifetime." This is Morris' second year as the head coach for the UMASS football program. Members of the 2010-2011 Football Team will attend the JDRF Walk and sign autographs for walkers. Wingo is well-known as one of the key figures behind ESPN's year-round coverage of the National Football League (NFL) and, although he doesn't have a personal connection to the disease, he knows others who do. "JDRF is a highly-respected organization and finding a cure for diabetes is a cause that I'm proud to lend my name to," Wingo said. It's time to eliminate this horrible disease that impacts the lives of so many. I'm proud to be back with Kevin and Rebecca Morris to gather support for the Western Massachusetts walk." JDRF's annual walk draws participation and support from families, companies, schools and civic organizations. The largest contingency on walk day is made up of entire families, from children to grandparents, many of whom take part in the fundraising efforts because of a family member living with type-1 diabetes. Fourteen million Americans have a personal connection to the disease. In addition to the autograph session with the UMASS Minutemen Football Team, walk day offers breakfast and lunch, and entertainment that includes DJ Frank Pollard, the Forest Park Zoo, a visit from Six Flags costumed characters, face-painting and other children's activities. When the event ends at noon, shuttles will run all afternoon and evening to take walkers to the Six Flags entrance and return them to their parking area. On-site walk registration begins at 8:30 a.m. The 10a.m. walk through the park will be approximately two miles long, making it appropriate for all ages and abilities. This year's top sponsors include: Six Flags New England, Channel 22 News, Mix93.1 WHYN, The Republican, Stop & Shop and Big Y World Class Market. To participate in the Western Mass walk or to sponsor the event, build a Walk team, or obtain more information, visit www.walk.jdrf.org or call 860-470-0020 or 888-533-9255. Walkers are invited to join Team UMASS or to form their own team on the JDRF website and raise funds. |

Two hour new garden bed....for newbies
posted by: wendy2shoes on 04.23.2009 at 06:39 pm in Winter Sowing Forum Thought I would share the process I went through this afternoon to make a new bed. Mine is intended for veggies, but this will work for wintersown flower sprouts of any description.
First, using an edger, cut out the edge of the bed. Toss the cut out chunks into the centre. (You can cut them up a bit or stomp on them). Next, lay down cardboard, and layers of newspaper to your outline. I had to use rocks to hold this down, 20mph winds today. Wet it all down. Add grass clippings, leaves, compost whatever. I mowed the back yard and threw the stuff on top. Top it off with topsoil, triple mix, rotted manure, whatever. (I had a yard left from last year). I used rocks around the perimeter to contain the soil, and hold down the cardboard edge. The whole thing should settle down and the worms start doing their work after I get back from seeing the grandkids for a week. You can plant new sprouts directly into this new bed. I just won't be around to do it. Waaayy easier than removing sod. The grass composts quickly, and provides great nutrients for your new bed! NOTES: <none>

I use 8x10 in. ones. I put the first tile down (smooth side up) and several folded layers of Viva paper towel (viva does not have designs on it and I have heard of people using the blue shop towels also) Next lay out your flowers-several more layers of towels and then a tile (smooth side down)-repeat with two more tiles My mircrowave has 10 power setting on it, so 10 is the highest and I set mine on 4. Then I set it for 3 min. and removes tiles when done and put some weight on the whole bunch. I try not to peek for 24-48 hours. Then I remove place flowers between sheets of paper. You can remove the paper with the flowers from the tiles and place them under weight as soon as the tiles have cooled, that way you can press several batches during the day. I made this tray for a wedding gift-glued the flowers on with YES glue and when dry I put envirotex (is is a resin) over the top. I was pleased. I also make cards. NOTES: <none>

Hi all,
I have started some wine using apples and not wanting them to oxidize during cutting I quickly dipped them in lemon juice (from a bottle) and washed them before shredding them in a food processor. My first yeast pitch failed to start, and I repeated tonight. I looked at the lemon juice and noticed sulphites as well as sodium benzoate. I know that sodium benzoate is used to halt fermentation in nearly finished or sweet wines, but I wouldn't think that very much lemon juice made it into my must. And what did make it in should be very dilute compared to what is in the lemon juice (or maybe the cheap lemon juice in a bottle is more preservative than juice;). At any rate, is there any way to drive off or remove any contaminating sodium benzoate? Or does anyone know how dilute it can be to cause a problem? Thanks, Karl |

I made about 40 litres of Apple wine last year from the Apples from my tree and some froma local orchard. The wine is a a year old now and drinking very well. It started off like a very sharp sauvignon blanc but is now closer to a Chardonay, with a rich, complex flavour and a heavy body. My advice to you would be dont use lemon juice, as the fruit will oxidise anyway. My apple wine has the colour of an old barrel aged chardonay. I think if you get your yeast very active in a cup or two of untreated apple juice an extra sugar and the add it to the rest of teh juice, it will probably be fine. I think you would need quite a bit of the preservatives from the lemon juice to actually halt fermentation permenantly. Apple wine [as opposed to cider, which I detest] is highly underrated, and is perhaps the only fruit wine that compares to a good white grape based wine. |
I actually got the fermentation to go. As I mentioned, I repitched yeast (Lalvin 71B-1122) on Monday night (after 2 days with no fermentation). I still didn't see anything by Wednesday, so I repitched again (Wed) with Lalvin K1-V1116 and it finally took off. Not sure if it was the change of yeast (the K1-V1116 is supposed to be a little hardier) or just my initial impatience. After that I decided to double the batch to 2 gallons and prepared another set of apples and coated with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 cup water with a Campden tablet. That kept them from turning brown and I just poured the previous 1 gallon "starter" in and presto instant fermentation. It is actually a pomegranate cyser (apple-mead), and after a couple of rackings is looking quite beautiful. I look forward to patiently waiting to taste this one. Thanks for your input. |
I want to make cider or apple wine but don't have a cider press to extract the apple juice. If I get the juice out by boiling or simmering or steaming the cut up apples, the pectin will set and the juice will be permanently cloudy. Can I still ferment it into wine after this happens? |
happyday, I have made several batches of excellent apple wine without a press. I generally use a food processor to mince the apples (often with the skin on). I have found that if I use a little fresh lemon juice (not from a bottle, which I had done here) it helps to keep the apples from oxidizing, and you need to add acid to the mix anyhow. I then sterilize the fruit with campden tablets and treat with pectic enyzme (both available from wine making supply stores). You will need to add sugar or honey, acid blend, yeast nutrient, grape tannin to the "must". Then add a wine yeast (there are many good choices, but I would avoid a "bread" yeast) to the must the following day (allowing the sulphur from the Campden tablets to dissipate). It is a good idea to measure the sugar content (by specific gravity) and the acid content (by pH or better yet acid titration). And make sure your equipment is sterile. After fermenting on the fruit for a week or so, you can transfer the wine to a secondary fermentor. If you have not made wine before and a lot of this seems strange I would recommend "The Joy of Home Winemaking" by Terry Garey or some other reference. Good luck. Karl |

I have uploaded pictures here: http://picasaweb.google.com/hindesite/BugsOnCrepes
These small white spots are on two of my healthiest crepe myrtles. When I mess with them, nothing seems alive, and under the white it is some redish substance. What ever it is (scales?), I suspect it is sucking the sap. I have already applied a natural oil type killer. It warned about the plants being well hydrated and about the temperature at application, and stuff about reacting with sulphur - all that is good. You will also notice some lighter colored areas about the size of 1/2 dollars on the trunks - related? The other crepe has that too. Danny Hindes,
Follow-Up Postings:
The white things appear to be one of the cottony scale insects, of which there are several species. Most of us are familiar with the cottony cushion scale. I'd need a closer image to help you find out which of the species it might be. The spots on the trunk look like one of the common lichens (harmless) that can be found on the trunks and branches of all kinds of trees and shrubs. Yours looks just like what I've seen on many Crape myrtles. Keep up with the scale insects. The red stuff inside of the white stuff (technical, huh?) are eggs. Attached is a link to a close-up you'll be interested in. |

What's the meaning of "is"? What do they mean by harvested? What do they mean "grown from cultivated stock"? They don't say grown from seed which makes me suspicious. Do they cut the rhizome ala Don Jacobs to get more plants? |
The wording makes me think they are plants propagated by division from "captive" plants. In other words the initial/original plant was probably wild collected (perhaps looong ago perhaps not) and the ones they are selling are divisions propagated from that. The other less likely scenario is that they are divisions from an original/initial plant that was propagated from seed. I say unlikely because if that were true they would probably say it. Not sure if that qualifies them as "unethical" plants. Does buying them perpetuate wild collection? Or, does having these types of plants on the market stop people from wild collecting them? Dunno. My Trillium erectum is a division from a friend who got it from her mother. There is no way to know if it is any more "legit" than the ones they are offering. If I gave a division of it to someone else (they have spread like mad), would that be unethical? |
Many of us who posted at GardenWeb over the years know that this is an issue that comes up every Spring. Whenever we see cheap, bareroot trilliums, orchids, native lilies, and ferns for sale we should be asking some questions. Wild-collected plants are offered by both family-owned businesses as well as big box stores. Wording such as "Grown from Cultivated Stock" and "No Plants Harvested from the Wild" are meaningless. It looks to me like Langeveld is a Dutch bulb broker, the plants have passed through several hands by the time they come back to US. Such brokers deal with VERY large numbers of plants. If a poster got an orchid/trillium from Aunt Molly, that has no bearing on this issue. A few years ago, Better Homes & Gardens was putting their stamp of approval on wildflowers being sold to Big Boxes via a Dutch broker. I personally contacted the CITES official in Raleigh and after an investigation, BH&G dropped the line of plants. Below link is a press release from Fish & Wildlife about wild-collected plants being shipped to a Dutch broker. The N.Carolina man was found guilty and served time. Unbelieveably this same man is still in business and still dealing with wild-collected plants out of NC. One display in local Big Box is called "Botanical Wonders". When wild-collected plants change hands several times, there is really little if any follow-up on the part of the state's Dept of Ag or the USDA, this is especially true if it is unclear whether or not a law has been violated. For many decades the collection of wildflowers has been a cottage industry in NC, WV, Tenn as well as other states. Think about it logically, what genuine propagator and grower of eastern wildflowers is going to market his plants through a big box? Cheap, bareroot, pre-packaged plants native to eastern US such as ginseng, hepatica, trout lily, all violets, Mertensia, ferns, trilliums/orchids are wild-collected. It should be stated that while there are a few small, domestic growers who do legitimately propagate wildflowers, they take pains to document that fact and their plants are not cheap. |

From what I am told, the stuff sold as "Botanical Wonders" in the big box stores are sometimes carnivorous plants, and the company that sells them is a legitimate nursery that uses nursery grown stock from plants and seeds obtained legally. Venus flytraps are easy to grow from seed, so there's really no need to poach. The sad thing is that VFT's are native to one place on earth only, about a hundred mile radius around Wilmington, NC. I wonder what Minton's punishment was? |

I am very concerned about the illegal collection of plant species from the wild and it distresses me to think that I may have unwittingly supported that activity through the puchase of exotic plants. I have developed an interest in Carnivorous plants and have puchased/rescued a number of them from various "big box" stores ony to get them home and discover that the labeling is sorely lacking in information regarding the species. Botanical Wonders routinely labels using only the Genus. Unless you are already familiar with the plant, this is nearly useless information given that many Genus are comprised of literally hundreds of Species, may of which have widely varied care requirements. Also missing from their label is any address information or other contact information for the company. The big box stores can't tell me anything about them either. This makes me suspicious. Are they irresponsible or they are doing something less than legitimate??? If anyone has information about a way to contact this company I would appreciate an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please HELP !!! |

The label name "Botanical Wonders" probably has no nursery affiliation. It could be someone working from their garage or backyard toolshed. I would not be too concerned about VFT's, Pitcher Plants or other Carnivorous Plants, since there is a TC lab in FL that turns them out by the millions. The one's from the box stores very likely originated at a TC lab, has been packaged and is being sold individually. Most are cheap in wholesale quanities: VFT, Drosera, Pinguicula-53˘-75˘ea., Sarracenia-95˘-$1.05, Nepenthes-$1.25-$1.50. Trilliums & Orchids, especially Lady-slipper's are a different concern. There are TC labs that propagate both, but to grow them into flowering size requires time and in some cases, tedious care. Therefore, the prices aren't going to be cheap. The term; "from cultivated stock". could mean almost anything, since it does not identify the source of the plants. Since most sources of wild collected plants do not identify the various species contained in their bulk shipments, the nursery may "cultivate" them until they bloom, so that some sort of identification can be determined. IMHO, if they are cheap, they are very likely to be from wild collections. I know one chap from an European country that came to TN-NC each year to purchase 1000's of Trillium and LS's. He only stopped when his home country began confiscating the shipments for alleged CITES violations. As much as we may abhor the practice, it is perfectly legal for anyone to "harvest" and sell any plant that grows on their private property, or with permission, any other private property. It is a cottage industry in many parts of Southern Appalachia and often the only source of one's household income. Endangered and other Protected Species require only shipping permits, either Federal, State or both, depending upon the listing.(For Domestic shipments) Rb |

LIMA, Peru (AP) - The founder of Peru's Shining Path rebels has gone on trial for a 1992 car bombing considered one of the worst attacks of the conflict he unleashed.
Abimael Guzman is already serving life without parole on a 2006 terrorism conviction.
Prosecutors put the 79-year-old Guzman and 10 other imprisoned rebel leaders on trial Monday for allegedly ordering a bombing that killed 25 people and wounded 155 in Lima's upscale Miraflores district.
Guzman lawyer Alfredo Crespo says his client did not order the bombing and already has no chance of going free.
But Crespo says at least two other Shining Path leaders could have gone free had the new charges not been brought.
Some 70,000 people died in the 1980-2000 conflict waged by rebels led by Guzman, a university professor.

Dozens of protesters gathered outside The New York Times building on Eighth Avenue last night to protest the no-comment policy of the newspaper's weekly Modern Love column.
"The Times is suppressing free speech," said Jax123, who, like many of the protesters, prefers to be called by his screen name. "And since we aren't allowed to express ourselves in Modern Love, we're here to make ourselves heard tonight."
"It's a monstrous policy," said Titsrkul from Staten Island, who was holding a placard that read, 'Stop Internet Abuse. Let Us Comment.' "If it were another section of the Times that was off-limits, we wouldn't be so offended. But this is Modern Love. Women are writing about heartbreak and loss, dating and divorce and sometimes even death. This is exactly when our comments are at their most vibrant." Keep reading »

I want those urns! |

Wow! What a haul!! |
Looks like a minnow bucket & coal carrier. I have some of those urn looking plastic planters. They last pretty well, I've had them 3-4 years & haven't broken or cracked yet, would last better painted tho. Mine are white. They had green & color you have also at the 99 cent store. Didn't see them this year. Love your long 1/2 barrel thing too at back of pic. Wipe the metal down with alcohol before you paint it & try not to touch it except on handles so when it is dry from alcohol, it will keep paint on. Jan |
Thanks Jan. I have a close up of that posted under 'wine barrel take 2' if you want to see it better. Also check out 'glue a totem?.....' for other awsome finds from today. Thanks everyone *hugs*. |

Wonderful finds! I have some of those plastic planters (large.) I had painted them to look like rusty iron and they really did. A neighbor ran accross the street to tell me they looked awful, lol. I have one small one inside painted to look like non rusty iron. The paint did chip on the outdoor ones after a few years so I put them in the garage where they are still waiting their next look. I'm eager to see what you do with yours. If I redo them , I will prime with kilz, or something. Kathy |
I like the urns too! I also spray painted with plastic fusion paint. Actually I think I bought the 'spray plastic with this' (don't remember the name) paint and than used any color spray paint..... Makes the plastic pots look wonderfully colored! |

What great finds, I love the coal bucket thingy. I too have the urns. I picked one out of someone's trash on my morning walk. I washed and painted and it is wonderful. Frou |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EDGE Android App? The EDGE Android application is a first-of-its-kind Google Android-based news reader for the LGBT community. It allows you to access the award-winning editorial content of the world's largest network of gay and lesbian web portals via your Android phone or pad, utilizing the unique capabilities of these devices. What's the difference between the Android App and the EDGE websites? While the EDGE Android application does not (yet) permit the full range of robust features of our web network, it's the perfect solution for those who wish to stay in touch with news and entertainment information targeted to the LGBT community while you're on the go. You don't need to be connected to your web browser - or, in many cases, to any wireless services at all - to read news, view nightlife photos, and connect with your community. Does it cost anything to use the EDGE Android App? That depends. The EDGE Android application is free to download and use. Do note, however, that if your mobile device is not connected to a Wi-Fi connection, the EDGE Android application will use your device's cellular network or Wi-Fi connection to access and download content. Please be sure to check with your carrier to be sure you will not be charged for this usage, especially if you are traveling internationally. Where do I get the EDGE Android App? Our app is not yet available; please check back after April 1, 2011 for a download link. What is "offline" reading? When you first load up one of the EDGE Android application's news channels (Top Stories, Columnists, etc.) your device will "sync" with EDGE's news servers and download EDGE's recent articles. Once the sync is complete, your phone does not need to load additional information from EDGE's servers for you to read each article. This allows you to sync your device once, and then read lots of stories - even if your device is no longer able to access its Wi-Fi or cellular connection. You'll find this a speedy way to browse the day's news. Be aware, however, that the initial sync may take a moment or two; where possible, we recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to sync your device. Additionally, some non-essential components will download outside of the sync, and heavy-bandwidth items such as photoalbums will always require a live connection to view. How do I force a sync? In many cases, the EDGE Android application will automatically sync when you launch, and/or when you visit a new tab (photoalbums, columnists, etc.) For a sync to complete, you'll need the app to stay open - so feel free to browse stories or stare at fun photos while your device is downloading the latest and greatest from EDGE. If for some reason your device does not automatically sync, you can force a sync at any time by clicking the "reload" button on the top right of your screen. How long does it take to sync? When your device downloads stories from the EDGE Network, the amount of time you'll have to wait for new stories to appear varies quite a bit. This wait time is entirely dependent on your current connection and the speed of your device. For example, newer devices that have access to G3 or G4 speeds will download our stories faster than those that do not. And if your device is currently connected to a Wi-Fi network, the relative speed of download will be much faster. How do I share an article? You can easily share articles, columns and photoalbums with your friends, colleagues, family, and/or any unsuspecting member of the Religious Right. First, open an article, photoalbum or column; then, click on your devices "Menu" button and look for the "share" button. You will be offered the option of sharing the item. Please note that in order to share via Facebook or Twitter, you'll need to have enabled those applications on your device prior to their appearing in this menu. What's with all the ads? Can I turn them off? Our app now includes advertising; we're sorry about that, but delivering all this fabulous news to you costs money - aren't you glad someone else is footing the bill? In a future release, we'll allow subscribers to opt out of advertising. Can I send EDGE comments or feedback about the EDGE App? Of course! We love hearing from our community - send your comments, thoughts, recommendations and other feedback to email@example.com. Version Notes » « Android Home For information about or support using our Android apps, or to inquire about advertising rates, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. |

The Chicago Rat Pack "One Swingin' Night"
Egyptian Theatre - DeKalb, IL. For over 18 years, the unforgettable trio (Frank, Sammy and Dean) excited audiences nightly at the Copa Room and the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. These wonderful performances have been recreated with remarkable accuracy. Critics all proclaim "One Swinging Night" as being as close as any person could come to experiencing the original Rat Pack. With so much talent on stage together, these wild wonderful performers would set the standard tone for all those who came to Vegas throughout the Swinging 60's. How could these performances be anything less than historical? The Chicago Rat Pack's show, "One Swinging Night" is perhaps one of the few special productions that shall become as timeless as the actual counterparts (Sammy, Frank and Dean). This fantastic show transports its audiences to a time when life was a lot less complicated. "One Swinging Night" is a brilliant reenactment of the "Summit." This was the period at which all three of the magnificent super-stars were at the prime of their wonderful careers. At times, these three actors seem to transcend reality by totally becoming the characters they portray. Along with this and the fact that each member of this cast is very talented in his own right makes "One Swinging Night" a show that must be seen!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My programs turned out beautiful! I would highly recommend this product. This paper quality is great. They look fantastic in person. I wouldn't change anything."
"Every thing about the invite was great. I took my daughters wedding invitation and made a bridal shower invite out of it. It will be such a great surprise to her to see the shower invite and then to save it as a keepsake along with the matching "save the date"."
"The invitations and all the accompanying pieces were beautiful! We received many compliments saying the invitation was very classy. We loved the autumn colors, the heavy textured paper and the beautiful simple design. Along with the invitations, we were pleased with the reply postcards and the enclosure card. The matching programs were on the same textured paper. We loved it all! I would highly recommend this design and product."
"Amazing! High quality paper, the pearl shimmer is worth it! I love that Wedding Paper Diva's has someone personally review your design. Giving you an advice on what is proper wedding etiquette! Fast shipping and wonderful customer service! I won't work with any other company."
"We used these programs for a Catholic mass and absolutely loved them! They were a little smaller than most programs we saw which we loved just it was easier for people to fit in their bags or pockets to take with them! We used the whitish background and loved the contrast and extremely bright colors! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and colorful program"

So, I had not been to EPCOT since I was about 8 yrs old (20 yrs ago). Needless to say, no Beverly then.
When the whole gang was at EPCOT this time Todd was SO insistant we go to Club Cool. It's great! They give you free samples of drinks, he says! (his excitement level was not out of the ordinary... he gets excited at the FL border when you can stop and get free Orange Juice!) So we go... and of course - he has me try a few of the better tasting products and then says "but this one is the BEST!" I'm gullible. I drink. Look at Vixen's photos above for similar reaction.
Best brother ever.

(CNN) What candidates' wives are telling us
There was a time when first ladies and first lady hopefuls merely stood smiling beside their blue-suited husbands, waving to cheering crowds. Their "press" was limited to an article in a women's magazine, with perhaps a few recipes.
Now they are scheduled and much-anticipated speakers at the Big Game, the main event for one night of the party conventions -- as Michelle Obama was Tuesday evening.
In this piece, we'll see the video highlights of speeches by candidates' wives in the past 20 years and analyze their meaning.
Speeches by spouses are one of the many aspects of American electoral politics that puzzle the rest of the world. As a reporter from VG (The Way of the World), the largest newspaper in Norway, was heard to ask, "What do these women do that their men can't?"

Gusty winds moving in to San Diego County this weekend
Winds of up to 60 mph expected in some areas
SAN DIEGO - Gusty winds are expected in San Diego County's valleys and mountains this weekend, and that could mean problems for drivers.
LATEST WEATHER: Check today's forecast
INTERACTIVE MAP: Check weather conditions in your area
The 10News Pinpoint Weather Team said a high wind warning will be in place starting at 10 a.m. Saturday until 4 p.m. on Sunday as Northeast winds are expected to be between 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 60 mph. The strongest winds are expected through passes, canyons and just below.
The winds could make driving difficult, especially for motorists in high-profile vehicles, according to the weather service. Drivers are advised to watch for broken tree limbs and downed power lines.
10News Weathercaster Pat Brown says temperatures are on the climb again this weekend, but it's not until next week that the county will see temperatures in the 70s.
For Saturday, the county should expect an onshore, cooler breeze due to a trough of low pressure passing to the northeast. On Sunday, the winds switch to strongly offshore.
The NWS is calling this a Santa Ana event with those northeast winds gusting to 50 mph in the county.
Winds are expected to gradually diminish late Sunday.
As for the beginning of the new week, 10News Weathercaster Ashlee DeMartino said weaker winds are expected starting on Monday, as another ridge of high pressure builds over the west and starts a gradual warm up for the region.

Housing for Women is a registered charity, a company limited by guarantee and a registered housing provider.
Company Registration no: 420651
Homes and Communities Agency no: L0970
Registered Charity no: 211351
Housing for Women is a not-for-profit organisation: any surpluses it makes are ploughed back into our work. It is run by a Board of Directors who receive no money for their services. The day to day management of the Association is carried out by a team of around 50 paid staff, supported by volunteers.
Download the latest Housing for Women Annual Report
Download the Housing for Women Business Plan 2013-16
- Governance and staffing
The Association currently has a Board of nine Directors, covering a broad range of skills and expertise. The Board has undertaken an extensive governance review, which includes individual Board member and Chair appraisal and review of its collective performance. There are two Committees: Remuneration and Audit. There are also two standing Working Groups, covering Supported Housing and Diversity and Equalities. The latter comprises Board members, tenants and staff and monitors the Association's activities to ensure compliance and best practice in equal opportunities.
The work of the Association is undertaken by a well-qualified, experienced staff team. HfW encourages staff to improve their qualifications and sponsors professional training. The Association holds Investors in People and Housing Diversity Network accreditation and has been awarded the Disability Tick symbol for its recruitment and employment practices.
HfW provides a formal volunteer programme, providing work experience to assist women in gaining jobs or returning to work, as well as providing internship experiences for university students. We also run a volunteer programme providing assistance to the supported housing projects.
- Services to residents
HfW is committed to excellence in its provision of services and has a customer centred approach in all its work, utilising tenant feedback and surveys, customer service reviews and an active tenants' panel to ensure continuous improvement of services.
We are continually working with our tenants to enhance their involvement in the management of the Association and to develop effective tenant scrutiny of our services. Some of our tenants are also engaged in a federal model of scrutiny with four housing association partners also working in London. HfW has endorsed the National Housing Federation's Code of Service Delivery and its campaign 'In Business for Neighbourhoods'. Our priorities reflect the commitments to neighbourhoods, customers and excellence.
- Our properties
HfW operates in eight boroughs in three broad areas of London:
- North West (Ealing and Hounslow)
- Central (Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, Westminster)
- South East (Greenwich, Lewisham and Southwark)
We have a rolling annual programme of major repairs and renewals, based on a 30-year stock condition survey. We implemented an accelerated programme and have brought all of our stock up to the Government's Decent Homes Standard. The maintenance service consistently achieves high standards for performance and cost effectiveness and the Association has achieved the BSI ISO 2001 quality assurance accreditation for its maintenance services. Sustainability issues have risen up the agenda in the past years and we not only wish to reduce carbon emissions in our properties, but to undertake cost efficient energy saving measures for the benefit of our tenants.
- Partnership working
We acknowledge that in all our activities we can achieve more through effective partnerships with other organisations. Here are some examples:
• Our development activity is characterised by strategic partnerships with larger housing providers such as: London and Quadrant Group, A2Dominion Group and Circle
• We run our Re-Unite project for women ex-offenders in close collaboration with Commonweal Housing
• Our volunteer programme is supported by Working Chance, along with many local volunteer centres. Many of our interns come to us through the Student Hubs network.
• We enjoy a range of Corporate Support, and are always looking for more. This is both in-kind help and donations, which help us to continue our vital work.
• We co-operate with four housing association partners in the South London Federation of Small Housing Associations (SoLFed), which was first set up in 1995 to facilitate the partner associations in providing good quality housing and services
• Our recent development in Lewisham was shared with two of our SoLfed partners – New World Housing Association and Southwark and London Diocesan Housing Association
• Our Re-Place project to support trafficked women has close links with the Medaille Trust and the Poppy Project. We are also members of the Human Trafficking Foundation Advisory Forum. This forum allows issues raised to be conveyed to parliamentarians and policy-makers, including the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking.
With each partner contributing their own particular skills and expertise, we see partnership working as a way of enhancing our services to our customers and maximising our impact.
