I have filed some seeds as well as the edges of my fingers and have them soaking. I think I remember reading that cannas will bloom the first year but I'm wondering if they will actually grow to full size the first year. Is that a stupid question? My seeds are from a canna that was around four or five foot tall. Will some of my seedlings be that tall by the end of the summer? |

Someone gave me an India Prince at a plant swap that he had started in Feb. and it bloomed in August. I am still trying to figure out how to nick/file the seeds. Am thinking of drilling but can't find drill bits. Lisa |
I've started cannas from seed a few years in row. They've always bloomed the first year, but they might not get as tall as they will in the second year. In fact, this is the weekend to start some more. Kevin |

Hi Christie!! Have you tested your canna seeds to see if they are viable?? It is easy to test, just nick them and put them in a cup of water. When you see this rather obscene looking white thing poking out, transplant the seed. I find this to give 100% success in germination rather than just planting the seeds AND you wont waste any potting soil "wondering" if they will germinate or not. I was able to nick mine successfully by using a vice and a heavy duty file. Kinda tedious, but it was the only thing that worked. When you see white in the seed, you have nicked it enough. I PROMISE to email you soon!! :) Oh, does anyone know if you have a better chance of first year blooms if you start the seeds extra early??? |
Yes Ellen start them now and you wil have blooming first year plants by the end of the season! Keep the seedlings on a sunny south-facing window until the weather warms up.they will need time to generate a ryzome before they put energy into making blooms. -stephen |

I should've used a vice too. I tried to hold them between my fingers and file them and that's not easy to do. I sent you mail Ellen. : ) |
This is my first year growing cannas from seeds.I tried everthing and finally succeeded, with pliers and a dremel. I held them with the pliers and ground them with the dremel, until I saw white. Dee |
I tried seeds for the first time last year, and got some to flower. I started in mid March, used a toe nail clipper to nick the seed, soaked for a few days, then planted in a small black pot, which I kept moist. The keys after that are warmth, sun, and water! I potted them up in black pots (to warm up the roots), and would repot once roots came out the bottom of the pot. I had one (Robert Kemp) which set seed (thanks, hummingbirds!), and will use those to start over next year, in case the roots left in the ground, and in the garage, don't survive over the winter. |

I never was able to get outside to use the vice this time, just filed in the kitchen---150 SEEDS LATER!!!!--my fingers are raw! Sure wish I had a dremel! Does anyone know exactly what to expect as far as height from these?? I do not know the exact variety (I'm sure that would help!). Is it just the height that will be stunted, or any other aspect of growth? I want to plant my cannas in several 12 inch pots. Your recommendations for how many plants per pot, to acheive a "full" look at least, if it will not get the height??????? Of course, most of these 150 plants will be going in the garden! I do intend to plant other trailing plants in the containers as well, some Avalanche petunias, maybe some Sweet Potato Vines, depending on sun exposure, maybe some Lantana. So I am wondering how many Cannas to allow room for with all these other plants. Anyone know why it is that they dont sell Canna seeds, since they are so easy to collect and germinate?? I have only seen the Tropical varieties from seed, and I think I read somewhere that the instructions for sowing them is to "scatter the seeds"; no nicking or soaking required. Do the tropical ones produce a different kind of seed? |

I have to say that I don't ever nick mine. Sometimes in the late summer, early fall, when the seed pods are just forming and still green, they have what looks like miniture canna leaves sticking out of them...I pick those, set them upright on top of some soil in a pot, water, watch grow. The ones that set to hard seed, I just soak for a couple of days in a cup of water, then put in a pot of soil til big enuf to handle/transplant. Easy cheesy. |
Something I picked up in my Master Gardeners classes is to use a nail file to nick seeds. I usually just soak my seeds that need softened up but my instructor always swears by the "file." |
- Posted by Jane_SoCal Sunset 23/z10 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 05 at 17:51
I've tried using a Dremel, holding the seed with pliers (a vise is too time consuming), though the vibrations make it hard to hold those little things steady. Another method that works: hold the seeds with needlenose or regular pliers, put one of those metal diamond-type nail files, rough edge up, under the seed, and slide the file back and forth (holding the seed steady). Fast enough, and no nicked fingers. |
just a quick (dumb)question from a canna newbie: do you have to nick the seeds before they will germinate? Because that would explain a WHOLE lot! |
Nicking is really the best germination method, like someone else said, nick & soak in warm water will generally give close to 100% germination in healthy seeds. |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (My Page) on Fri, Mar 11, 05 at 18:40
I grow them all the time from seeds, never nick, never pre-soak, just stick them in a pot. They almost always bloom the first year. If I don't get rid of them all first. |
You don't have to nick them first, but I have found that they germinate faster if you nick them and soak them in water first. I hold mind with some pliers and use a steak knife to saw into them. Then I soak them in water in a clear glass on the window sill until a root shoots out. Then I put them in dirt, and they grow pretty quickly. If you start them early enough, they may bloom this summer. The ones I started last year didn't have time to reach full height by the time the first freeze hit. Janey |

Hey, can anyone tell us just how tall we can expect these cannas to get this year??? |
I tried filing... not very fun, :) But using a pair of nail clippers works great to nick the seed in no time. Should have read your post first Ellen so that I didn't waste all my soil potting these seeds up. Next time Im gonna check for Viability first. Thanks for the Tip! |
Hwere do you get the seeds for canna? The flower- might seem silly but I do not know. I've been snooping around plants in yards and nursries plucking all sorts of stuff through out year here in FL. My Canna are about 2 ft now. |
- Posted by jaceysgranny 7aAR (My Page) on Sun, May 1, 05 at 17:21
Karchesky Canna sells seeds to several varieties of theirs. Last year they were $3.00 I think for 6 seeds. I haven't looked this year. Nancy |

Hiya folks. I'm just visiting from the pond forum looking for information. My questions sorta expand on Jenbug's questions. I know that the seed is located at the base of each flower but is there just one seed per flower or is that a seed pod? The second question is how do I tell whether the seed is ripe and ready to harvest? I don't need links to sites where I can buy them. My neighbor has Tiger cannas growing on his side of a fence and they have spread to my side and are blooming. I want to collect the seed so I can plant them some other places in the yard. Oh, another question. Do you nick the seed like a lotus seed, anywhere on the side of the seed? Thanks in advance, |
- Posted by jaceysgranny 7aAR (My Page) on Fri, May 27, 05 at 15:23
Scott, that is the seed pod and there are usually several seeds in the pod. Yes, you do nick them and I soak mine in water until it sprouts then plant it. Not all cannas produce seeds. You do know that you can dig the rhizome and divide it being sure to leave at least 2 or 3 eyes per, right? Nancy |
- Posted by PondmaninFL z9 FL (My Page) on Fri, May 27, 05 at 22:20
Nancy, no, I didn't know that. Cannas are the newest plants that I'm studying. Mainly, I sick with aquatic plants but these are versatile. I plan on digging a few if I can't sprout them from seeds. These cannas are producing a pod at the base of the flower. Would it do that if it didn't produce seeds? There are so many things that I have never seen before that I'm seeing for the first time since I moved to Florida. Like elephant ears and aloe blooming. Thanks, |
Trie a metal file, works well for me. Sometimes to well :( |
- Posted by PondmaninFL z9 FL (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 05 at 22:19
Does some cannas produce seeds on the outside and not in a pod? The cannas that are growing in my yard from the neighbors yard have fuzzy like pods. I pinched one off today to have a closer look. The outside just crumbled off and there was hardly anything left as a pod. If anyone is familiar with arrowhead seeds, these pods are alot like them. Thanks, |
if a canna were to be the type to set seed.the green thing that forms after flowering will SWELL and get larger& then when it starts to turn brown....it will split and inside will be seeds.it can take a month or so forom flower to finished seed. I grow some species(the small tubular flowered type)I have a red indian shot/indica& an orange one.I did not know lucifer set seed.i have 5+ of lucifer growing,but have never had it set seed.its about 2 2 1/2 ft.from a GW on here R_sad. I have not actually grown any of my canna seeds.I've traded them off.So my question is do they grow same as parent?or will I get other colors? I also grow some in my pond.my Florence Vaughns. |

This is my first canna question, but I've got lots of experience watching them grow and bloom. Where I grew up, the strip of dirt between the house and the driveway had a canna forest (salmon small blooms). We'd always cut some of them down for mulch and I used to pick the seeds and use them in games of marbles. Well, my father still has that house and when I was home last I noticed mature seedpods on the plant. I plucked a bunch (got well over 2000 seeds) and brought them home mostly for a trip down memory lane, but then I started to think about germination. I used cat claw clippers to nick the seeds and soaked them for three days in what started out as hot, hot tap water but then cooled off (ie I didn't change the water every 5 minutes to keep it super hot). The seeds started to swell. Then I potted them up in soil. It has been 10 days and I'm seeing nothing emerging. I know it may be too early to start worrying, but I was wondering when was a good ballpark time to consider to be "too late"? Also, should I have kept the water hot, hot all the time? And should I have waited for an "obscene looking white thing" to come out of the hole? |
- Posted by skygardening z9 FL (My Page) on Sun, Oct 9, 05 at 13:14
Nick the seed (easiest way is with pet nail clippers) until you see a little white. Put them in a plastic, see through, bottle with a teaspoon of water (say for 6 seeds). Put the lid on tight. They should sprout in 3 days. Then plant in a 4" pot and keep moist. They should break ground in about 10 days or less. Remember that a seedling does not take on the name of it's pod parent. And that when you are trading, you should make it clear that it is a seedling or off spring from a seedling. It is not a clone of the parent like a rhizome would be. It may produce many Rogues (mostly reds) that make it not worth while if you are trying for that certain parent plant. This is what I have been reading about lately. And it is very important that it isn't passed on as a named canna. |
Hi Scott, nice to see you over here. I'm not sure your question was answered so here goes- canna pods are not like arrowheads- the seeds would be inside. The thing is some canna will not actually produce a seed but will go ahead and produce perfectly useless pods- which is what you had that crumbled. If you have a canna that does not produce seed- it just won't. I do have one that produces the occasional seed, but about 95% of it's pods are empty, and others that just don't produce seed, and some that have 5 seeds in every pod. When buying canna you might do searches for some that produce seed if that's what you're looking for. Hope that helps! |
Funny though, we always hear of canna rhizomes, rhizomes division, to propagate Cannas. I don't understand why the seedling method is not as popular as it should. To answer clearly to the main question of this topic, Check this out : The very First bloom was only a little less than 3 months after the seed sprout. Here is the close up pic of the main stem, exactly 3 months after the seed sprout : Ain't that AMAZING ? |

Question, I purchased seeds of lucifer's torch and have had for a couple a years and still haven't flowered, any suggestions?? they are growing in pots and had them out all summer. Thanks |
BD, That's very strange....have they been in full sun? are you fertilizing? |
- Posted by MrBrownThumb z5 Chicago (My Page) on Sat, Nov 19, 05 at 23:59
I was going to start a new thread and ask a new question I haven't seen here yet. I've collected some seeds from a canna, some of the seeds are perfectly round, smooth and hard. I came across some seeds that have divets, sort of like a golf ball all around the seed. Should I assume that these deformed seeds are not viable or do some cannas produce these weird seeds? |
- Posted by BeautifulDelight 8 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 20, 05 at 13:12
Thanks for the answer:) so does this plant need full sun all summer long? And what kind of fertilizer would you suggest. Does this plant flower indoors? Also it seems to take very little water,If i give it to much it starts losing it's leaves. |
Brown Thumb, I don't know- wish I could help! BD, |

Thank you all so much for your postings. I have just gone out and readied my seeds to root. I'll be keeping these inside for awhile. I'll be moving soon and want to take some of the plants from here with me. Again, thanks for the help! (I didn't even have to ask!) Kerri |

If anyone has any to spare,just give me a yell.I will take all I can get,seeds or otherwise. The only thing I have to trade this year is mixed morning glory and red caster bean seeds. We bought an entirely empty yard a year ago,and I had to start all over again from nothing. Thanks, Lynn |
bump I found that using the emory board nail files work well. Place the emory board on a firm surface (tabletop). Hold the seed firmly in your fingers and rub it back and forth until you see white. Then put in water, changing the water regularly. Eventually, they will sprout, and then you can put them in a soilless mix. I put mine in tiny individual peat pots, and then put like 4-5 peat pots in a regular pot with more mix, and put them in a zip bag. As you see growth/sprouts, begin to open the bag slowly over a couple of days/week (like african violet leaves) and then they can sit in the window sill. dave |

Soulwax remix Arcade Fire's 'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)' – listen
Soulwax have remixed Arcade Fire's 'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)'.
The Belgian dance-rock pioneers have reworked the track, taken from Arcade Fire's third album, 'The Suburbs'. You can listen to the track, which premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show last night (March 19), by scrolling down the page and clicking on the video.
Earlier this month, the Canadian band announced that they were releasing remixes by Damian Taylor of 'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)' and 'Ready To Start' for this year's Record Store Day. The band will release remixes of both tracks on 12-inch vinyl on April 21, with copies limited to 1,000.
Arcade Fire recently released their track from the soundtrack to the new fantasy film The Hunger Games.
The track plays over the dystopian thriller's closing credits and was recorded by the Canadian band last month. The film itself features a track titled 'Horn Of Plenty', which has been written and recorded by Win Butler and Regine Chassagne.
Arcade Fire are currently working on the follow-up to 2010's 'The Suburbs'.

The drive to develop deeper fields, coupled with environmental, legislative and financial expediency, has led to an increasing need to monitor loads in real time and track the load histories of deepwater risers and flowlines. The demands of deep, extended subsea operations have challenged conventional strain gauging. Practical difficulties of bonding and protecting strain gauges, plus ongoing calibration issues, have restricted development of structural health monitoring technologies. Alternative techniques based on interpretation of second-order effects that can be more readily measured (e.g. accelerometers and inclinometers) have been preferred. Fiber optic-based measurement offers substantial advantages over historic strain gauges. Although relatively novel, the technology has matured through the Telecom industry. The fiber optic sensor is extremely sensitive, provides absolute data (no repeated calibrations required), is immune to electromagnetic radiation, is unaffected by pressure and water, and is intrinsically safe.

Up to 45% off Dining Room Furniture* | Up to 65% off Jewelry & Watches* | Up to 70% off Select Area Rugs* | Up to 25% off Select Bedroom Furniture* |
this is a great chair if you are needing something to look pretty in a room. if you are planning on having people sit in it- i would recommend finding something else. i was very excited to receive my shipment- 2 of these to go in the living room. however, after assembling (which is very easy- it's basically two bolts).. i could tell these were not going to hold up. because the base is only connected to the tall back by two bolts there isn't much support. the chair is very very wobbly. i am returning before someone sits back in the chair and it snaps in two. disappointing because to get the look for the price seemed like such a great deal- i suppose it falls under the 'too good to be true' category.
The chair is an amazing find. The fabric is a soft, good quality, oatmeal/beige linen- just like the picture. My friends that saw the chair thought it probably cost close to $800-$900 from high end store like Restoration Hardware. Great conversation chair but probably not ideal for everyday lounging.The only thing is that the assembly was a bit tricky for me. At first when I thought it was finished, the chair wobbled a bit but then a friend came over and tightened it up and it's perfect now. I highly recommend it!
The fabric is a little rough so if you're looking for something super cozy, this isn't for you. I love this chair. It fits perfectly in our office and has a nice wide seat so one of us can be on the desktop and the other can put there legs up and be on a laptop. I can't say enough great things about this chair. The high back is very nice and fits our transitional home well. The fabric color is very calming. The chair took us 15 minutes to assemble but the box it came in was large so make sure there are two people to bring the chair into the house.
The chair arrived one-week after ordering. Well-packed with all parts included. I love the fabric (looks/feels like a smooth linen), but the color is more brown/beige than I expected. It is still a great neutral that will work with many decor color schemes. Assembly was straight-forward, but the holes didn't line up, and I could see the quality/construction isn't the best, but you get what you pay for. The chair is also smaller and lower-to-the-ground than I expected, but as with the color, the chair still works and looks great in the space intended. The chair reminds me of a low slipper chair with the added modern wingbacks. I love the nail-head detail and the chair looks much more expensive than it was. I find the chair to be very comfortable as well. Would recommend this one!
This chair is awesome I purchased two before I read the reviews, after reading I was a little worried. I just received them I put one together in less then 15 min the holes matched up perfectly so I didn't understand the comments above about the holes. After assembling I sat on it and it was very comfortable. They will be used for my formal living room and I know they will look great. I highly recommend this product. A very classy look.
Lovely to see but no head support. Also seat is too deep and pillow is awkward.
The color was almost a greenish beige. Chairs were sturdy looking. We returned them even before assembly since the color was completely off.
Chairs are beautiful - they are tall, wide and stately but the seat is extremely firm as if you were sitting on a hard kitchen chair with a cotton pad on top and also very long to comfortably recline without additional pillows. I thought my engineer husband would be able to easily assemble the legs but sadly the holes did not line up and required my daughter and I to force the chair legs while my husband screwed them in in place.
Love the chair...for the money it's great. Putting it together was harder than it should have been...the dowel rods were a joke...they were way too small for the holes. Just ignored them...it took temporarily putting the base on..then letting the chair sit on it's back for awhile to be able to get the holes to line up to attach the base to the back. Did the trick. .don't know if that makes sense? Anyhoo it looks great in my living room and 2 small people can sit on it..it's so wide!"
Very nice fabric, style is classic, not soft but that's ok, I'm using more for looks. I was able to assemble myself (female), took 30 minutes but I got it. Looks great, can't report on actual use as of yet, I'll see once company comes. Found the perfect pillow @ """"" but I also love the one it comes with- I will have it monogrammed in Black, will add a little extra needed something to be eye catching. Love it!!

The "Fear" Factor in "Killer Robot" Campaigning
by Charli Carpenter on 2013-06-21 in Duck- 7 Comments
One of the more specious criticisms of the "stopkillerrobots" campaign is that it is using sensationalist language and imagery to whip up a climate of fear around autonomous weapons. So the argument goes, by referring to autonomous weapons as "killer robots" and treating them as a threat to "human" security, campaigners manipulate an unwitting public with robo-apocalyptic metaphors ill-suited to a rational debate about the pace and ethical limitations of emerging technologies.
For example, in the run-up to the campaign launch last spring Gregory McNeal at Forbes opined:
HRW's approach to this issue is premised on using scare tactics to simplify and amplify messages when the "legal, moral, and technological issues at stake are highly complex." The killer robots meme is central to their campaign and their expert analysis.
McNeal is right that the issues are complex, and of course it's true that in press releases and sound-bytes campaigners articulate this complexity in ways designed to resonate outside of legal and military circles (like all good campaigns do), saving more detailed and nuanced arguments for in-depth reporting. But McNeal's argument about this being a "scare tactic" only makes sense if people are likelier to feel afraid of autonomous weapons when they are referred to as "killer robots."
Is that true? To find out, I included a priming question in the survey of public opinion on autonomous weapons I conducted last month through YouGov.com. This is part of a new research project on the relationship between popular culture and human security norms, so I was keen to see whether the campaign's rhetoric actually exerted this priming effect. 1000 US citizens were asked how they felt about the idea of outsourcing targeting decisions to machines. 500 were asked the first question using dry military jargon and stressing the autonomy of "weapons," whereas the other 500 were asked about "lethal robots," invoking the idea of robots as agents, as soldiers rather than weapons. In the second question, 500 were asked about "autonomous weapons" and the other 500 were asked about "killer robots."
I found almost no effect on citizens' sentiment based on this varied wording, and what effect we observe was within the margin of error for the survey. As I posted previously, the majority of Americans across all ideologies and demographic groups oppose the development and use of autonomous weapons; nearly 40% are "strongly opposed." This doesn't change much at all if you ask them about "lethal robots" versus "robotic weapons." Moreover, a majority of Americans surveyed support the idea of a ban campaign, and this too doesn't change if you refer to the campaign as the "Campaign to Stop Killer Robots" versus "a campaign to ban the use of fully autonomous weapons" (question 2).
In short, people are afraid of "killer robots" because of they "killer robots" are scary, not because of the "killer robot" label. It's true that the term "killer robots" does seem to have an impact on media coverage of the campaign (which I'll discuss more presently), but the claim that it is designed to frighten or that it does frighten the public appears to be false. NGOs are channeling popular concern about autonomous systems, not manufacturing it.
Tags: autonomous weapons, autonomous weapons norms, drones, social movements, transnational campaigns Print article
The more troubling argument is that the label 'killer robots' strikes me as undermining the seriousness of the issue. That is, by implicitly bringing to mind 'terminator'-esque images in the public's mind the issue can and will be belittled by those with an interest to do so. Why use comic-book like language for such a serious issue? The problem is certainly not that such language is designed to instill fear but, rather, that it might have the opposite effect.
http://ahm.name/ AHM
It seems to me that this critique applies to the NGOs running the campaign as well as those criticizing it. Both sides probably believed that "killer robots" would be a way of swaying opinions AND obtaining publicity. Turns out both seem to be wrong about the prior. So why single out the counter-campaign?

That was part of what I wanted to figure out – two competing hypotheses about what effect this might have, one positive one negative. Actually it turns out not to have much effect either way, at least on this test.
Charli Carpenter
Well two things: one, this isn't a critique so much as a response to a critique, so the reason I'm singling out the counter-campaign is that they are the ones making a specious critique. And two, on the campaigners' side my conversations with practitioners in this community suggest the killer robot label was always more about engaging the media, which seems to have worked. (See future blog post.)
It might be sensationalist but it isn't misleading. That's more than you can say for most government-led security fear mongering.
This is really interesting. I wonder what label would trivialize the issue, if not 'killer robots.'

Durant, Harden lead Thunder over Mavs
OCT 24, 2012 9:47p ET
Serge Ibaka scored all 15 of his points in the first half for the Thunder.
The Mavericks, playing without Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion and Vince Carter, were led by Jae Crowder's 21 points and nine rebounds. Brandan Wright added 11 points.
Oklahoma City went on 14-4 run in the first quarter to take a 21-14 lead and was never threatened after that. The spurt was capped by consecutive dunks from Nick Collison and Durant. Collison, a former star at Kansas, drew loud ovations all night.
The Mavericks pulled to 80-71 on a jumper by Bernard James with 5:48 to play, but Dallas was held to only one point over the next four minutes.

Hagadone recognizes top schools in phonebook recycling contest | Environment
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Information courtesy: Jason Seaborn
Hawaii's largest commercial printer, Hagadone, announced today the two top-performing schools in its recently concluded phonebook recycling contest.
Hauling in 4,400 books, Leihoku Elementary School in Waianae claimed First Place in the contest and a $2,500 cash prize for the school. Holy Family Catholic Academy came in Second Place with their delivery of 1,177 phonebooks, and will receive a $1,000 cash prize to benefit the school.
"Everyone here at Hagadone, and the larger community of Oahu, is so proud of these kids and their commitment to our environment through recycling," said Clint Schroeder, president of Hagadone.
"Talking about helping the environment is one thing, but for these kids, they were able to see, in a very tangible way, how their hard work had a direct, positive impact on the island they live on."
The two schools will be presented with their checks at their respective locations. Leihoku will have its presentation Thursday, April 5, from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. at 86-285 Leihoku Street, Waianae. Holy Family will have its presentation Wednesday, April 4, from 7:45 – 8:15 a.m., at 830 Main Street, near the Honolulu Airport off North Nimitz Highway.
Overall, Hagadone's phonebook recycling contest diverted than 8,700 phonebooks from their original destination on Oahu's landfills. In addition to a variety of its other environmentally-conscious, proactive programs, Hagadone sees a vital importance in eliminating additional unnecessary waste being sent to Oahu's landfills.
Each year, Hagadone's industry-leading environmental initiatives lead to a real and significant positive impact: 60,000 trees are saved from being chopped down, more than 44 million gallons of water are conserved, almost 60,000 BTUs are conserved, almost 4 million metric tons of solid waste are diverted from landfills, and almost 12 million tons of greenhouse gases are averted from entering into Earth's atmosphere.

the sock thing.. looks like you would sweat like crazy in it.. nothing like a scarf that is light weight and breathable
yeh theyre saying... hey this is what you could wear... or you could just drop the idea if you want...
yep they will fix it for you.. but your not going to like it...lol
and theyre hoping you just drop it...
yep when your faced with 100 degree weather.. thats a tuff choice
Solution: Velcro
Simply make removable Mickey ears for the traditional head scarf and nobody will know the difference. :mickeykid :-D :cool:
very true..
You are an a employee. Unfortunately you got to do what management tells you and being that with Disney your a Cast Member, it is their show. I am sorry and I respect your right but they sign your checks. You signed the agreement portion of the contract and I think that you need to read what you signed.
i still say... remember how they coin the title of their employees... cast members... it means more than just to make them seem as though they are actors... it gives Disney the right to dictate how they dress and how they look... this is exactly the same thing.... this is how you have to dress... you dont like it... too bad... you are technically an actor... and thus must wear the costume given to you...
If you want to wear a Hijab, search for an employer which will allow it...
If this person were a nudist, would there be anyone coming to the employee's defense???
This was not the same woman however this was a solution for another employee subsequently.

Reader UI of the Week: Bloom with Skoddie's UI {WoW}
May 20th 2011 1:53PM Wow angry much? Lol. Where to start...all of the "redundant" items do completely different things.
Healbot is for casting spells that I don't bind on myself (more relevant on healy toons), the unit frames are for checking exact values of target health and other similar functions and the HUD (only visible in combat) is to assist with my tunnel vision. Since I wrote this I have turned off MY buffs on the unit frame but target debuffs that aren't cast by me aren't covered by either my HUD or Quartz should be visible somewhere at least. More information is not a bad thing, especially since I have an ENORMOUS monitor, so I don't mind having the same info a few different places.
The minimalism comes from how the UI is tucked into corners and doesn't dominate the image of the game world (plus the lack of addons I don't actually use), not the fact that the UI is completely gone.
As for the broker bar, it's full of information I want to know constantly. You might ask, why show how much gold you have, you could open your bags (assuming I didn't have ark and actually could see that number in my bags)? Well I'm willing to use 10-20 pixels of my enormous monitor to avoid having to press buttons to get simple information.
When you get closer to the center of the bar there IS info that's extremely relevant to me. My repair status, my latency, time to die counter in the center (so I don't have some ugly frame in the middle of my screen) plus guild and friend counters with mouse over detail that includes notes. The last one is AMAZING to me, normally to quickly view a character's note you have to open the guild panel, select the right screen, fish them out of it somehow, click them, and then you get the note. I mouse over a number and then get on with my life, lol.
As far as the layout, I don't like to build up since there are things that "bloom" on the sides, every little thing has a place. I don't particularly see the problem with having the chat box on the right hand side, nor having the minimap closer to the center of the screen. Perhaps I could move the action bars into the corner and flip them with the unit frames, but again this was one place where function outweighed form. When you're trying to max your potential in raids the time it takes my eyes to move around the screen is valuable and I'd rather look near the center to spot check CDs than all the way into the corner where my less useful during combat unit frames are.
Finally, you comment on inconsistent font and texture usage. Pardon? Except for my chat font and the default pMinimap font I make sure every font in my UI is Enigma and every last bar texture is Armory. Also, I like round buffs and square action bars....why should they match? They're the same BF set as each other and are designed to compliment themselves.
Hope that clears some things up :)

Reader UI of the Week: Bloom with Skoddie's UI {WoW}
May 17th 2011 9:09PM Yay! I got blogged! A little clarification on my keybinding setup since I didn't want to get too in depth for a UI column. I bind every available key to similar spells across characters and make sure that they fit underneath my left hand. For example, on any tanking character the T is a taunt, and on dps caster the "AoE" button is F.
The only reason I do the action bar paging is to avoid multiple binds for keys that would absolutely never be used at the same time, two rune abilities and banes are the perfect example. Way back in the day when on next melee abilities existed I had 3 identical bars to scroll between on my warrior which was "virgin", HS macro'd into everything, and cleave macro'd into everything.
It also helps me manage my power aura concepts as well to know things like, "this is the bane button". What seems like unnecessary complications are actually massive time and space savers for me without any real tangible loss.
I had additional screenshots demonstrating this but unfortunately they were too large to send out :(

Ghostcrawler responds to heroic dungeon difficulty complaints {WoW}
Jan 12th 2011 5:24PM The 40 minute wait for dps isn't something Blizzard can fix, but it is something you can fix. Just stop being collectively bad. There are tons of great tanks out there (myself included) that love tanking and are completely put off from the RDF. The only time I queued by myself post Cataclysm had a healer with almost no spirit gear and 3 dps that refused to do any CC or follow a kill order. In 10 minutes they kicked me for being bad =/. I almost wanted to say "sorry guys, let's get a time machine and I'll be able to spam swipe and mangle every gcd and carry you through your mistakes again."
TL;DR - RDF is a nightmare and the only way more tanks will queue is if the skill level of the community as a whole improves.

Officers' Quarters: Patch 4.0.1 -- An officer's perspective {WoW}
Sep 20th 2010 1:40PM Yes, this is very rude, but if you live in an area where shipping Authenticators is legal, then I don't understand how you can afford $12-$15/month and not afford a $6 one time cost. I get that a lot of people don't want to be "forced" to spend money, but if you can't find $6 in your budget, even if it's by saving for a few months (I even think most people can find $6 in their change jar) then I'd really like you to rethink the cost of a computer capable of raiding (I'm assuming raiding because most guilds that have anything worth protecting in the bank are raid guilds) and your monthly subscription.

When Installing Windows 7 Pro Using a USB Device?
I have Windows 7 Pro located on a thumbdrive and I want to make sure I am using it correctly.
First, I set the USB device to boot from the BIOS settings and then the prompts come up for me to begin a install. After going through everything and installing, it restarts automatically and as soon as it restarts it boots to the USB device again and starts over for me to go through the prompts again to install. So I change from the boot device being USB to HD and everything seems to finish fine. My question is, is this correct? This is the first time i have used a thumbdrive to install an OS and it seemed to go so fast. Within probably 10 minutes the install was complete and restarted. How do you guys install from a USB device? |

25 Jan 2012 | #2 |
Hello Valpal,
Yep, it installs that much faster using a USB instead of a DVD. You would have wanted to keep the HDD that you are installing Windows 7 to be set to boot from it in your BIOS settings instead. Normally when using a USB, you would press the F key it says to press at boot to boot to your "Boot Menu" to select to boot from the USB for just that one time. This way when the computer restarts during installation, it will boot to the HDD from have set in the BIOS to continue the installation. See red Warning box at top of tutorial here for more on this.

Are you looking for tips and advice on how to look after and manage your hair?
Ever wondered which are the best shampoos and conditioners, and products are right for your type of hair? Here you will find a range of articles on the pluses and minuses of hair products, and tips on looking after your hair and improving your style.
One of the most important considerations when caring for your hair is making sure it will fit in with your lifestyle.
Hair styles can range from easily-managable to incredibly time-consuming. Taking into account the length of your hair, as well as its thickness and type, determines the degree of care and product-use needed to get the most out of it. Essentially, by taking the time to look after your hair properly, you will ensure your hair looks naturally healthy and shiny while accenuating your style.

Each strand of hair is comprised of an inner layer, or cortex, that determines the color and texture of the hair. An outer layer, called the cuticle, protects the cortex.
These structures may sound simple, but they're formed out of many layers and coils of proteins, namely "keratin". The cuticle is not a solid sheath, but rather formed of scales that slide over each other and give hair its flexibility.
Healthy hair is made up of 88 percent protein and 12 percent water. If there is a not a proper balance between moisture and protein, the hair will become difficult to manage.
Too little protein in the equation will cause hair to stretch easily, thinning individual strand, without giving the hair enough structure to pull itself back into shape.
But too little moisture and the cuticle gets dried out, giving your hair a dull, dead look (even course, curly hair should have a bit of velvety sheen) and making it brittle. Protein will keep the hair strong, but if there is not enough moisture in it for elasticity it will break very easily.
In addition, the edges of the "scales" on the cuticle can be damaged if they are not able to slide properly, making the hair shaft rough so it tangles easier. Dried hairs are thin, lightweight and lack vibrant color.
If you have hair that lacks shine, is frizzy or tangles way too easily you may have a moisture problem.
Split ends, hair that you just can not seem to grow past a short length, or hair that breaks from combing or everyday wear caused by rubbing against seats, clothes, etc., and may also have too little moisture. In a case like this vitamins for hair growth is vital, and should not be overlooked.
Moisture is absolutely vital for the health of your hair. Oily or greasy hair is not automatically well-moisturized. Excess oils are generally caused by scalp irritants such as hair products or environmental factors (i.e. smoke, smog); the hair may not be getting the moisture it needs.
There are many commercial hair products on the market geared toward helping you get the right moisture into your hair. However, you may have to try a few before you find the one that works for your hair type, and the level of moisture you need. You can also add oils to your hair.
Sebum is designed to coat each individual hair, lock moisture in, protect the hair from dirt and other damaging substances, and to allow the cuticle scales to slide smoothly.
Adding oils such as jojoba or extra virgin olive oil can help protect hairs that have the sebum regularly shampooed off of them. Many of today's hair care products (such as cheaper shampoos and conditioners) contain ingredients that actually coat the hair, and can lock moisture away from the individual strands. So, you need to know how to get rid of chemical residue. You should take care to select only quality products that will truly assist in improving the quality of your hair. The good news is, moisture imbalances are not difficult to fix once they are identified and can make all the difference in the look and texture of hair care.

The Last of Us new gameplay details, screenshots releases
By Mufaddal Fakhruddin on February 5, 2012
US magazine share bits from their cover story.
Share this Article
First Impressions
My reaction is
Latest Videos
Latest Screens
GameInformer has posted new gameplay details and a bunch of screenshots from Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, the touted "industry-changer" from the Uncharted developers.
Here are the gameplay nugget straight from the magazine. You can find the screenshots below.
- Combat includes both gunplay and melee attacks. Weapons will break after repeated use, so you'll have to scavenge around for new items frequently.
- Most post-apocalyptic worlds are bleak and gray. Naughty Dog utilizes natural growth to spice up the color palette and add a sense of the abnormal. Notice the yellow bridge in the background? Yep, this is Pittsburgh.
- The developers stress that The Last of Us is not one long escort mission. Although you won't control Ellie in the game, her AI is one of the team's primary areas of focus. In our demo she always managed to keep up, yet stay out of the way. She didn't seem to need any babysitting at all.
The US magazine has the game on the cover, so expect more details once it hit stands this month.

Gain insight on enabling access to applications from anywhere using any device.
Telefónica UK"The ChangeBASE solution saved us 50% of our projected costs, and the migration took only half the time it would have required if we had done the application analysis and remediation manually."
RET"Quest ChangeBASE will reduce our packaging time by a third on average. Historically, most of our time was spent on resolving conflicts and searching for the compatibility issues. ChangeBASE goes straight to the issue and can fix it and move on. We don't waste time anymore. We can satisfy user requests sooner and deliver a compatible application quicker"
iStar Networks"Quest Desktop Virtualization (formerly vWorkspace) is an extremely rich, robust solution that is truly one-size-fits-all and that can be scaled up or down, with a great price advantage. Desktop Virtualization (formerly vWorkspace) has become more of a culture at iStar rather than a measurable investment. We simply could not operate and provide a complete range of services without Workspace Desktop Virtualization"
Lancashire Constabulary"We had already established that Desktop Virtualization (formerly vWorkspace) was the only broker solution that could meet our security requirements to segregate the restricted and confidential networks. It was therefore a huge relief that its flexibility to work with different hypervisors didn't narrow our choice of VDI, especially as we were already constrained by a tight budget."
Aon"Quest Desktop Virtualization was the only desktop virtualization solution that met all our needs: It's easy to use and provides secure remote access."
Washington Unified School District"When we look at the big picture, adding another employee could cost 10 times the amount of the Desktop Authority renewal—so that cost saving ALONE is well worth our investment."
Highlights for Children"I do very little maintenance on this tool...and in today's economy, doing more with less is important. And with Help Desk Authority I can do more and invest a LOT less."
Johns Hopkins"Today's complex IT environments include many disparate components that exist outside of the Windows world. The challenge is how to monitor and manage the overall health of distributed applications. Quest allows us to plug those non-Windows systems into an Operations Manager and Configuration Manager environment and provide end-to-end service management into the System Center pane of glass."
Bonneville Joint School District No. 93"We needed a tool that was easy to deploy and addressed a variety of desktop management concerns. Desktop Authority was the best tool for our environment at an affordable price."
Otis R Bowen"We are able to reduce the number of trips to remote sites … in some cases we would be travelling as much as 2 days a week, and now we go 2 days PER YEAR! Thanks to Desktop Authority, 99.9% of machine administration can be done remotely."
Starwood Hotels & Resorts"Starwood uses the Power Management functionality of Desktop Authority. These settings saved us an impressive $350,000 a year in North America – more than doubling our ROI!"

Carleton E. Watkins American, 1860 Salt print 12 11/16 x 16 in. 84.XM.171.39
Watkins often explored the ways in which lumber was used in mining. In the 1850s he probably provided lumber for building projects as a carpenter. His photographs of the elaborate wooden structures that were essential to the placer mining process were based on firsthand experience with the materials and an informed understanding of the delicate process of designing and building the structures.

As the calendar flipped to May, as expected, the race for the final Capital District softball title went into overdrive. Atlee still leads the way with an 8-1 record after their 17-0 drubbing of Highland Springs Friday evening.
But the hottest team in the district is Hanover, a team overcoming a slow start for the second year in a row to become a dangerous threat deep into May, and beyond. Their latest win, 6-1 over Midlothian Monday, was highlighted by a six-run explosion in the first inning, including home runs from senior Shannon Albright and freshman first baseman Kaylyn Shepherd. Before that, the Hawks played, and won, three games in three days, beating Henrico Friday, Mills Godwin Thursday in a non-district affair, and Wednesday at Glen Allen.
The 8-4 victory over the Jaguars was the fifth in what is now an eight-game winning streak. The 10-3 Hawks are tied for second in the Capital with Lee-Davis, as both teams stood at 6-2. The two teams were to square off Tuesday night before rain and thunderstorms postponed the game to Wednesday. The winner will keep Atlee in their sights, while the loser, unless unusual circumstances happen, will be all but eliminated from the regular season district crown.
Hanover's advantage, and strongest point in their win streak, is their offense. In seven of their eight wins, they've scored six or more runs, more than enough support for Kiandra Mitchum, who has settled nicely into the role as number one starter. She kept Glen Allen off balance in the road victory over the Jaguars, who scored most of their runs after the outcome was well in hand.
Also coming to the Hawks' aid at a crucial time is the rise offensively of Shepherd and fellow freshman, center fielder Mackenzie Wyatt. Wyatt is batting clean-up after beginning the season on the bench.
But for Lee-Davis, 11-3 overall, their strongest suit is currently in the circle in the form of sophomore Lauren McIntyre. The ace threw a five-inning no-hitter in a 10-0 win over Varina Friday, and battled Atlee ace Jessica Holte pitch for pitch in their showdown last Thursday, won by the Raiders at home 2-1 to take over sole possession of first place. It will be up to McIntyre to corral and cool off the bats of the Hawks when the battle for second place finally occurs, weather permitting.
The Lee-Davis/Hanover winner will also have to hope Glen Allen can do something they've yet to do in the past two seasons, beat a Hanover County team. The young Jaguar program has come close on multiple occasions, but still seek their first win over Atlee, Hanover, or Lee-Davis. They travel to Atlee for the regular season finale Thursday, May 16.

In the furor over the surprisingly glam Susan Boyle Harper's Bazaar pics that came out recently, some of you may have forgotten early rumors that she'd be on the mag's cover rather than an inside feature story.
Well, I wrote about the rumors for another site a few weeks ago and the readers there haven't forgotten. Instead, I'm still getting diatribe-esque comments, many of which have been taken down because they were a hot mess that violates site commenting policy. Honestly, I didn't think I was saying anything everyone wasn't already thinking when I wrote that the idea of Susan Boyle on the cover of high-fashion mag Harper's Bazaar was insane.
I may not be popular for saying this, but I, for one, would rather see models on the covers of magazines. Let me explain. Keep reading »

Had my eye on this plant for over a year and finally saw it at my local GH (to my delight).
Brought it home and seeing a 1 gallon container, it looked like several little plants via rhizomes. Figured to divide it by 50% and plant each half on entrance of either side of north-facing patio gardens. Boy... was I wrong. I had spots ready, amended soil, watered each hole, ready with potted plant, and started to divide in half like I intended. About almost done a huge chunk of potting soil and smaller-looking roots just plopped off. I felt further and realized that all that foliage mat of little leaves was from ONE plant/stalk. So I planted both: Plant above with half roots, and the chumk of half-roots that I hacked off with a knife. Do you think either will survive. Please let me know of your input and info. I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks,

text: How to efile ONLY a State Tax Return on efile.com Did you work and/or live in different states during the tax year? If so, you might have to efile multiple state returns. Don't worry, it's the same low price for one or for multiple state returns--only on efile.com! Here's how to efile your state return(s), and not your federal return, on efile.com: If you do not have an efile.com account, create a free account. Sign in and begin preparing your State return. You will start by entering general information. (Basically, you will need to go through the motions of preparing a federal return, but you will NOT have to efile it, and you will NOT have to pay for it. This seems confusing, but you will need to prepare a federal return on efile.com even if you have already filed or efiled a federal return elsewhere. This is because the state return is largely based on the federal return.) On the "E-filing Your Return" screen, simply click the blue "No thanks, I don't want to e-file my federal return" link to make sure the efile software does not efile your federal return. Select only your state return(s) and not your federal return. Even if you click the link to not efile your federal return, you will still see a fee for preparing your federal return on the "Paying for your Return" screen. To be discounted for the price of your federal return, you must enter the STATE ONLY promo code found below. To enter a code, click on the blue "Have a promotional code or coupon" link on the "Paying For Your Return" screen. You can only enter one promo code, so please do not enter any other discount codes. Please note that these codes do not make your state returns free. Only your federal return will be free. Preparation of state returns is $19.95 (one fee that includes as many state returns as you need). 1040EZ Filers: If you prepare a 1040EZ, you do not need to enter a promo code. Your federal return will already be free. 1040A Filers: If you prepare a 1040A, please enter the following code at checkout to be discounted the price of your federal return: 50state14e 1040 Filers: If you prepare a 1040, please enter the following code at checkout to be discounted the price of your federal return: 60state1040e (You can see which 1040 form you have prepared by clicking the green "Create PDF of Return" button on the "Next Steps" page before Check Out.) When you get to the "Balance Options" screen, choose to receive your federal refund (or to pay your federal balance due) by check. This is only to move the software forward to the next step. You will not have to efile your federal return, so this will not change any arrangements you have already made for your federal tax refund. Federal Refund Federal Balance Due Finish efiling your state return. After it is accepted, you can track your state tax refund. As long as you complete the state-only efiling process by following steps 1-6 above (in order), you can be assured that ONLY your state return will be efiled. For additional assistance, please contact efile.com support. Important State Income Tax Return Deadlines Why Do I Have to Prepare a Federal Return? You can efile only a state return on efile.com, but in order to prepare state returns, you must also prepare a federal return. This is because almost all of the information for a state return is taken from your federal return. The software needs the federal information to prepare any state return. But you will NOT have to efile your federal return, and you will NOT have to pay for it We know it may be a hassle to enter federal return information all over again if you have already done so somewhere else, and for that we deeply regret the inconvenience. Because of this, we recommend preparing your federal return at the same time as your state return(s) on efile.com. Remember that only efile.com offers unlimited state returns for one low price of $19.95 Do I Need to File Returns for Other States? If you lived or earned income in more than one state, you might need to file returns for multiple states. You generally have to file a tax return for your resident state. You may need to file more than one state return if any of the following are true: You resided in more than one state. You moved from one state to another state. You worked and earned income in another state. You had gambling winnings in another state. You had rental income from another state. You had partnership or S-Corp income from a business based in another state. You had income from an estate or trust with interest in a another state. Your employer improperly withheld taxes for the wrong state. Depending on your situation, you may need to file part-year resident returns, or nonresident returns. The efile.com software will determine the correct type of state tax return(s) for you to prepare. Find out more about resident, part-year resident, and nonresident state tax returns.

During my tenure at Samford, I've been blessed to work with two outstanding leaders of the Faculty Senate, Don Sandley and Robin Snyder. Along with their colleagues, they seek to discover the ways in which we can work together—faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumni, and other friends—to create the best learning environment for our students. Vigilant in protecting academic freedom and in safeguarding the interests of employees, the members of our Faculty Senate care about the entirety of Samford and about the fulfillment of our mission. In the world of the academy, where disruptive tensions sometimes create misery between faculty and administration, it is a joy to work at a place where common bonds hold us together.
The world is better because of the leadership of the Samford faculty.
The mission of Samford University is to nurture persons in their development of intellect, creativity, faith, and personhood. As a Christian university, the community fosters academic, career, and ethical competency while encouraging social and civic responsibility, and service to others.
The Samford community values lifelong:
Anchored in Christian understanding, Samford University will be a diverse community, stressing vigorous learning and personal faith, in the Baptist tradition. Within that commonality, the Community will be innovative in teaching, learning and research; sensitive to global issues; aggressive in self-assessment and continuous improvement. Faithful to its mission, Samford will be known and acknowledged worldwide by holding to its core values. The world will be better for it.
