Review question:
How many embryos should be transferred in couples undergoing ART?
Multiple pregnancy creates serious health risks for the mother (such as premature labour, diabetes and high blood pressure) and for the babies, who are at much higher risk than single babies of problems including premature birth, low birth weight, cerebral palsy and perinatal death. Single embryo transfer is now being seriously considered in order to reduce multiple pregnancies but this needs to be balanced against the risk of lowering the overall live birth rate. Researchers in The Cochrane Collaboration reviewed the evidence about the number of embryos transferred in women undergoing ART. The search is current to July 2013.
Study characteristics:
We found 14 randomised controlled trials with a total of 2165 participants. Most were not commercially funded.
Key findings:
Double versus repeated single embryo transfer
Based on low quality evidence, there was no indication that overall live birth rates differed substantially when repeated single embryo transfer (either two cycles of single embryo transfer or one cycle of single embryo transfer followed by transfer of a single frozen embryo in a natural or hormone-stimulated cycle) was compared with double embryo transfer. The evidence suggested that for a woman with a 42% chance of live birth following a single cycle of double embryo transfer, the chance following repeated single embryo transfer would be between 31% and 44%. The risk of multiple birth was very much lower in the single embryo transfer group: for a woman with a 13% risk of multiple pregnancy following a single cycle of double embryo transfer, the estimated risk following a repeated single transfer was between 0% and 2%.
Double versus single embryo transfer
We found high quality evidence that the chances of live birth were lower after one cycle of fresh single embryo transfer than after one cycle of fresh double embryo transfer. For a woman with a 45% chance of live birth following a single cycle of double embryo transfer, the chance following a single cycle of single embryo transfer was between 24% and 33%. However, the risk of twins was about seven times higher after double embryo transfer.
Repeated single embryo transfer appears the best option for most women undergoing ART. Most of the evidence currently available concerns younger women with a good prognosis.

Powershell Prompt Tweaks - Display type info for the last command's output
GitHub Gists
Describes a way to automatically display information about an object's type when using console output in Powershell.
New Jersey, United States
I have always enjoyed taking things apart to see how they work. That interest fed some of my earliest and most memorable experiences with technology, such as making the family computer talk or creating worlds in text-based games.
Seeing code for the first time felt like opening a toy to see the gears and circuits inside. That sense of curiosity and exploration carried into my professional life. It served me well as my career evolved from Java developer to C++ tutor and beyond.
I have a passion for learning, and enjoy solving problems with a blend of analysis and creativity. To me, that is what "thinking like a programmer" is all about.

Construct a Kickstarter web of interest based on your backed projects
I created this project as a proof of concept after noticing that the projects I backed on Kickstarter tended to reference very interesting related projects in their updates. As the number of projects I followed (and the updates they posted) grew, it became easy to lose track of them.
I stumbled across an excellent post on Mark Olson's blog that explored the Kickstarter API, and I realized that though the API was undocumented it seemed to provide all the information I would need to crawl through updates and identify related project links.
I had never done any real work in Ruby, but it made sense to leverage Mark Olson's gem for this project. It also gave me the opportunity to learn something new.
GitHub, Dez 2013 - Apr 2014
API library for Kickstarter.com
When I started my kickspider project, I was inspired by this Ruby gem. However, I noticed that the gem did not provide complete support for Kickstarter project updates. I added that functionality, and continued to contribute in other areas afterward.

Packt Publishing approached me with the opportunity to be a technical reviewer for this book based on my contributions to Jeff Cunningham's "AngularJS-Learning" repository on GitHub. I had been tinkering with AngularJS in my personal time, and was excited to help put the finishing touches on this book.

Provides a snippet of Powershell code which maintains a PortableGit symbolic link. Anytime there is a new PortableGit available in the user's GitHub directory, the symbolic link will be updated to point to the latest path. I wrote this snippet when I noticed that updates to GitHub for Windows caused delays or errors with some of my Git-related Sublime Text plugins.

Git was an intriguing tool to me, but it initially seemed unnecessarily complicated compared to Mercurial. After reading this book, I had a much better handle on how to think like a Git user and get a sensible workflow in place.
Juval Lowy
I read this book in preparation for a project which required interaction with WCF services. I had limited experience with web services at the time, and no access to the source code for the third-party application that supplied the services. This book helped me understand how WCF services work, how they grew out of the older style ASMX services and (most importantly) how I could achieve what I wanted.
Massimo Di Pierro
I am primarily exposed to Microsoft technologies at work, so reading this book gave me some valuable insight into a popular alternative to Microsoft's web frameworks. I was impressed by Massimo Di Pierro's efforts to create a framework that was useful for both educational and production applications. His book and website explain the details of web2py, but just as importantly they highlight the motivations and inspirations behind design decisions. Since web2py was largely inspired by Rails and Django, I accidentally learned a bit about those frameworks as well!

This book showed me that there are a lot of wildly different (and perfectly valid!) ways to structure a Backbone application. Though the book certainly got me more interested in Backbone personally, it also highlighted that Backbone was not the best fit for my organization.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is New Designer Breed!
Facts about New Designer Breed
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
New Designer Breed's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Arizona is the first state in the Union to offer this NEW Designer Breed... these are Chihuahua/Who's Your Daddy puppies!!! They were born April 11, 2012.
Mom was found wandering the neighborhood when some neighbors moved away. Poor mama was big as a house, all 7 lbs of her, so everyone assumed she would need a c-section. Luckily, she didn't need a c-section and delivered 6, yes 6 healthy beautiful puppies. The black & white ones (1 M & 1 F) were the first born. Tank & Sweetie, the largest and the runt!
There are 6 pups/3M-3F. One looks like the dog from the Taco Bell commercial years back!!!! The rest of them, well, you have to see them to appreciate their very different personalities! They are allll extremely cute with a splash of terrier thrown in to balance out their cuteness!!!!!
These pups do have food allergies so you must be able to afford special food for them/ Blue Buffalo Fish & Sweet Potato/ NO grains & no poultry. They have never had tap water, only spring water. For treats they have baby carrots & venison snacks. They are crate trained.
If you would like to help with their care and help keep them in bottled spring water (!) while in rescue, please go our homepage: www.azdanerescue.petfinder.com and click on Donate!!! Thank you for caring.
Please call or email to set a time to meet this happy group of home raised puppers!!! Be the first to have one of this New Designer breed!!!!! A home check and meet & greet with all family members is required. There is an adoption contract and an adoption fee of $200.00. 623 869-0409 Msg line

Why Adoption is a Great Option
New Designer Breed, a Phoenix Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

I thought I would try Sweet Peas again this spring. I have tried different varieties through the years. All were supposed to be old fashioned types and advertised as fragrant. Several varieties came from Select Seeds. I didn't find any of them to be exceptionally fragrant. Does anyone here have a very fragrant favorite? Thanks! Linda Renee |

Have you tried "April in Paris"? It is supposed to be one of the most fragrant. I've only grown maybe half dozen named varieties-all selected for strong fragrance-and to my nose I didn't necessarily notice this one being "most" fragrant, but it is definitely up there. |
Here is a link that might be useful: April in Paris
Try "Old Spice" sweet pea, easy to grow and very fragrant. It's available from Southern Exposure Seed if you cannot find it locally. |

Has anyone tried any of the bazillion products out there or would baking soda do the same thing? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Be very careful with these! I used a couple of those at home products as well as baking soda and now I have sensitive teeth! I have to use the expensive "Sensodyne" toothpaste or I'm miserable. My dentist says that I have particularly thin enamel on my teeth as well as a stress/grinding problem and the combination of those two things left my teeth very vulnerable to the whitening products. Now I'm sure to floss everyday and do a quick rinse with Plax before I use my Sonicare toothbrush (Xmas gift to the family from my mom!). My teeth are getting whiter and they don't hurt much anymore either. I would talk to your dentist before you use any over the counter whitener to find out if you are a good candidate for it. My husband has stained teeth from heavy use of Tetracycline antibiotics in his teen years and no amount of bleaching will whiten his teeth again. He'll have to get them capped or veneered. :-( Keli |
- Posted by Maddie_in_KY (My Page) on Tue, Feb 25, 03 at 11:36
I wondered about that. I tried to use a kit that I got from my dentist, and I ended up with white, **sensitive** teeth. I was waondering if the OTC was any less irritating. |
I thought that the tetracycline was only a problem if you took it while the teeth were forming (i.e. before permanent teeth came in?) My DH took it too, and his teeth are fine. My Mom's teeth have been looking very white lately. I asked her if she used a whitener, and she said the only thing different is that she switched to the Crest spin brush (from a regualar, manual toothbrush.) I'm convinced that electric toothbrushes make a difference. |
Be careful with the whitening toothpaste. It's been 20 years since my dentist told me I ruined the enamel on my teeth by using whitening toothpaste. He said never to use any toothpaste that doesn't have the dentist's seal on it. My teeth are never white - dentist says I need to have them covered with something that last about 2 years and costs $1,000. Sorry - not for me. Don't have the extra money and if I did, I'd spend it on something else. |
I had used baking soda and also peroxide over the years and they both got rid of tea/coffee stains but not nearly as well as the new products. I used forever white (from an infomercial) about a year ago and saw dramatic results (about $39) More recently I used Crest white strips ($35). I did the top teeth only out of curiosity and saw dramatic results again after a couple weeks. What I like is that these products are not abrasive like whitening toothpastes. I would strongly recommend the new products - my friend got a kit from her dentist for $350 and I didn't think it worked any better than the over the counter. |

I got my teeth whitened at my dentist's office. They were running a special for $100.00 and all the proceeds went to the Spokane Guild School which is a special school for children with major disabilities. So it was a great thing . . . I am not afraid to spend money when it is for a good cause plus I got the benefit of white teeth. It worked great and I haven't noticed any sensitivity. I follow up with the over the counter whitener and I am very happy and love having a white smile. Brenda |
Should one expect a discount if one has only 8 teeth? Or - maybe find someone else whose mouth has only a few residents and pass on the rest of the treatment for half price? Can't be too frugal, can one? (On the other hand, there may be limits). ole joyful with the crooked smile |
Asked my dentist yesterday at my checkup (wished I had asked before buying a tube of Rembrandt) He said the only OTC brand they recommend is crest whitening strips. He said this is because it's the only brand that will fully disclose their ingredients. I asked him about the ADA seal on Rembrandt, and he says that only means that it contains Fluoride. Doesn't guarantee whitening, and in fact, he said they usually don't result in teeth being whiter than with ordinary toothpaste. |
My dental hygenist told me that Crest is beginning to market a "professional" strength whitening strip. Basically it's the same as the OTC only stronger and will be available only through your dentist's office. Plus, she said it will be cheaper than what it costs to buy the OTC strips. She said lots of people have had good success with these strips, so ask your dentist if they can get some for you. |
Guess that's what I will do, wait for the strips to come to the dentist. wonder if coffee drinking stains them faster, probably but I won't give up my coffee! |
- Posted by bouncingpig (My Page) on Sun, Mar 16, 03 at 20:14
Artmom, I'm a fanatic coffeeholic! But my teeth have stayed white. The stuff they use at the dentist really is strong and once they are white the over the counter stuff seems to be all I need to keep them that way. I just use "Optiwhite" toothwhitening gel that I got at Walmart for under $5.00. I mix it with regular toothpaste, as I can stand the taste and use it everytime I brush. So far, a year after the professional whitening, my teeth are still really white. And there's no way I'd give up my coffee! LOL! Brenda |
Another thing I am wondering about, I have an implant on my front tooth. I have been told the whitening stuff will work on real teeth but not the implant tooth material. So if I lighten my real teeth the implant will look dirty because it was matched to my real original tooth coloration. I used some sort of toothpaste that made my gums supersensitive (and my husband's) and made my gums bleed. My dentist said to stop using it, Crest rejuvenating effects. |
- Posted by bouncingpig (My Page) on Mon, Mar 17, 03 at 18:57
My husband is going to have his tooth re-capped and they will color it to the whiteness the dentist is thinking his teeth will be after whitening them. Apparently they have some way to judge this, but I don't understand it. He still is in braces (at 37!) so we can't do any of it yet. So my guess is your dentist will match your whitening to your implant. You are right though, you wouldn't want your teeth brighter than your implant. If your implant is very yellowed, you might check on having it resurfaced. Brenda |

Cynthia Bailey didn't just spend her recent vacay on the island of Anguilla drinking, watching Kenya & Porsha fight and getting her vows renewed. She also took some time to work with a modeling team on the island and giving them a few of her veteran pointers.
We've got exclusive behind the scenes pics and deets inside….
As the trio of Anguilla episodes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," we've got a few pics and details Bravo may or may not show you from the ladies' trip. Since it doesn't include the drama and fights.
Model Cynthia Bailey brought the skills she teaches at her Bailey Agency School of Fashion along with her on the trip. And she spent some time–in between rum punches and some QT with her hubby Peter–sharing her industry wisdom with a promising group of young girls from the Panache Modeling Team.
Cynthia gave them stories from her experiences as a super-model and spoke to the girls about the important role of self-esteem and confidence. And snapped a few pics with the ladies. Sweet!
And as for that beautiful wedding-redo surprise, we've got a few exclusive personal pics from the super sweet and romantic ceremony at Anguilla's Sandy Island that Peter surprised her with. After their fiasco of a wedding last year, he more than made it up to her. With real flowers this time from Black Orchid Florist.
Cynthia looked gorge and snapped a pic with the owner of Sandy Island, Ms. Simone Connor. Gotta love a successful black woman who owns the family-owned property that's catered to tons of celebs for decades–Michael Jordan, Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford, Bill Gates, Mariah Carey, Bob Johnson, Sofia Vergara and Denzel Washington have all stopped at Sandy Island for vacay and celebrations.
And we've got a few more behind the scenes pics of Cynthia kickin' it with the island's Parliamentary Secretary Hon. Haydn Hughes (who Kenya was heavily flirting with on the show) and brand strategist Marvet Britto, who represents the entire island of Anguilla:
Fab times!
Check out Cynthia & Peter's sweet wedding re-do below:

Similarly to Pokémon, Naruto has become something of a global phenomenon. Selling by the truckload in Japan and the US, the hit show has finally arrived in the UK, first on TV, and now on DVD.
Thanks to the scale of its reputation this series has a lot of hopes pinned on it, many even seeing it as make or break for anime outside its two main markets. Its ultimate success is hard to foretell but as an anime aimed at the younger generation, Naruto certainly deserves close inspection.
When a nine-tailed fox demon attacks Konoha village, the Ninjas who live there can find only one way to stop it – the fox is trapped in the belly of a newborn baby.
That baby is Naruto, when we meet him, a roustabout 12-year-old orphan, always getting into trouble at his village's ninja academy and totally unaware of his vulpine passenger.
The story proceeds by following young Naruto's antics as he plays up to his elders, attempts to become a fully-fledged ninja and formulates his ultimate goal – to be come the next Hokage, the ninja chief.
Naruto is a kid's show, but a respectable one. There's plenty of fun and tons of action but Naruto is not content to continually re-run the same story each episode. Characters are developed and story arcs fully explored.
Those who have to think hard to remember their teenage years will probably not be regular viewers, but even they will be forced to admit that Naruto is a clever combination of 'wacky' and 'worthy'.

OTTAWA — The Canadian economy is near the bottom of a new international ranking that measures production and sales of green technologies. The report, released Thursday at the global climate summit in Copenhagen by WWF International, is the first of its kind to compare countries on the basis of sales of products and services that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It estimated the global value of the clean energy sector, including wind and solar energy as well as biodiesel and energy efficiency products, at $984 billion in 2007. "The market for clean technology is booming, and was in 2007 larger than the pharmaceutical industry," said the report called Clean Economy, Living Planet, produced by the conservation group. "It will be the third industrial sector in the world in 2020." Denmark, Brazil and Germany were the top countries in the ranking in terms of relative sales of clean energy technologies based on the size of their economies. The report said the Danes are global leaders in turbines and insulation, while Brazil has a strong ranking because of large scale production of bio-ethanol, and Germany was excelling in several technologies, particularly in wind and solar energy. The report estimates that the global value of the clean technology sector would rise to nearly $2.5 trillion by 2020. But Canada finds itself 23rd in the survey in terms of absolute sales, and 31st place in terms of relative sales based on the size of the country's economic output. It trailed many large economies as well as such small economies as Kyrgyzstan and Slovakia. Keith Stewart, the director of WWF-Canada's climate change program, said the report demonstrates that federal government policies and subsidies are allowing the wrong sectors to grow in the Canadian economy. "The countries that are leading in the index, both in absolute terms and in relative terms are ones which have had strong policy support for renewable (technologies)," said Stewart. "Here in Canada, we've had strong policy support for fossil (fuels) and it's pretty clear that . . . support for things like oilsands means you're not going to be supporting renewable technology." But Stewart said Canada should be leading the pack instead of trailing it since it has a greater endowment of renewable energy than anywhere else in the world. He added Canada also has a responsibility to do more to promote renewable energy and clean technologies since it is among the top 10 sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. In the global economy, such sectors as wind energy, biodiesel and solar energy have grown from 24 per cent annually up to 53 per cent per year between 2000 and 2008, the report said. But Stewart warned that the main federal program promoting renewable power in Canada is on the verge of running out of money. "Canada really needs to get its act together so that we're making sure that we're going to have the good green jobs that are going to power the 21st century," said Stewart. The United States ranked second in terms of absolute sales of clean technologies but 19th in terms of relative sales based on the size of its economy. Switzerland, Portugal, Russia and Mexico are among countries that ranked worse than Canada in the report. email@example.com |

1997 Dodge Neon 4 Dr STD Sedan
Prosgood family car. Constheres been alot of neons that over heat
Its Pretty Decent — It gets me from A to B. Runs well, gas mileage is pretty good handling is decent, needs some repairs but that just happens with age. Has a hole ion the exhaust, which needs to be replaced. Needs new rotors and break drums they are rusty. but he break pads are fine. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1997 Dodge Neon 2 Dr Sport Coupe
ProsExcellent durability and driveability ConsHead Gasket/Front End Issues, a little sluggish off the start
Never Say Never To The Neon — For what it lacked in over-all performance (even though with the 5-speed transmission it was pretty quick), it made up for in durability and driveability. The car was just short of indestructible and an excellent winter driver. It's still humming along after the front end and head gasket were done (a major flaw in all Neons from that era). Primary Use: Family transportation |
1997 Dodge Neon 4 Dr Sport Sedan
ProsGood accelaration and braking, good looks and styling. great gas mileage ConsNeed some mods to make it a more fun to drive.
Fun Car Little Car To Bad They Stopped Making Them — Performance is good it accelerates quickly as it is has had some mods done to it. Braking is awesome, stops on a dime. And handling well in all but the tightest corners. Sure I have had some typical repairs and few major job but the cars is 12 years old now and some things are expect so build quality is good. Gas mileage has been improved with my modifications but it never was bad. $40 t fill a tank at most. And the car is plenty fun to drive. I love even the short drives to work. I recommend the car but I would also recommend doing the mods I did to release the beast in this car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Prosgasamizer Consnone
Awesome Car — awesome car fast nitrous 43 miles to a gallon paints chipping off very quick at the draw stick shift is the way to go interior of car is clean some times car is the best i have ever owned in my life Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
1997 Dodge Neon 4 Dr Highline Sedan
Proslooking for a fun way to get from place to place Consnot very good for carrying large loads
Cheap And Fun Way To Get From Place To Place — accelerates very nicely, brakes exellent, handles like a hot wheels. very few things go wrong with it except for scheduled maitanence, no squeaks or rattles. looks somewhat sporty, interior could look a little better. excelent mpg's, low maitanence cost. FUN!!! Primary Use: Family transportation |
1997 Dodge Neon 4 Dr Sport Sedan
ProsIt gets reasonable gas mileage and is practical. ConsIt's not a sportscar that's fo sho.
Cute But Small — It's not much of a car..It's how you drive it. The performance is good,if it was a minivan. The exterior is sporty but dinged up from a previous owner. Pretty standard maintenance. I baby it, but it's a neon. I had a good after market stereo system, but it was stolen. That made the drive more..fun. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1997 Dodge Neon 2 Dr STD Coupe
Prosmpg Conseverything else
1997 Dodge Neon 4 Dr Sport Sedan
ProsCompact, fun, cheap, easy to work on and upgrade ConsHideously ugly, apparantly plagued by technical problems.
While It Is A Fun To Drive Car, Its Place Might Be Best As An Intro-tuner Than A Reliable Daily. — For the era that the car was released in, it had class-leading power and handling (Even going so far as to include a model with stock-adjustable springs and shocks, as well as an additional "R/T" option that made hooking up nitrous much easier) that beat out even the legendary Honda Civic. However, being that it is still a 2 liter saloon, the car does have its limitations. The car mostly suffers from its horrible-looking interior and purely ugly exterior treatments. Another huge problem that, while I personally never experienced, numerous people claim the Neon to have all sorts of problems with breaking down and other systems failures. Equipped with the manual transmission (as it should be), the car is quite fun to drive, easily able to spin its tires in first second and third gear. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1997 Dodge Neon 2 Dr Sport Coupe
Prosit can take a hell of a beating Constoo slow, dont get automatic, the tranny is weak
Love It Cuz It Was My First One — it was my first car... its pretty reliable if u know how to take care of it... i used it to learn how to do fancy manuvers and whatnot... i personally like driving it especially just for cruise because mine is hooked up Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

When I got the Bowman's Root today, a Verbascum 'Blue Lagoon' also hopped into the shopping basket :-) I haven't had any luck with verbascums in the past but that blue suckered me in.... Has anyone tried this one? Any advice on getting it to hang around?! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 19:23
Woody, I can't tell you anything about it but I think it is downright gorgeous, I see it's in a blue pot, Heritage Perennials by any chance? I'm going to hit the garden centers tomorrow :). Verbascum nigrum does well for me, even grows in gravel, so maybe.... if I can find one, fingers crossed. Annette |
I planted Verbascum 'Violetta' 7 years ago in somewhat amended clay soil. Since then I have completely ignored it - never watered it, have the time I don't even remember I have it till most of the flowering is done. But not only does it come come back faithfully every year, it's seeded around a bit so I find new ones in odd places. The problem I find is you really need a large stand of them to make any kind of impact. Otherwise they tend to get lost among other plants. |
Annette - no, the pot is black, not blue (the camera is getting confused by the black pot, black garage door and faded black asphalt driveway and so is distorting the color of the pot...) It's not a Heritage Perennials plant - the tag says Bowman Greenhouses is the grower - they're in BC! So maybe it'll be easy for you to find one. a2zmom - 'ignore it' - I can certainly do that :-) and I think I'll plant it in my small 'teardrop' bed were it will be easy to see it. |
Woody, I also think that amazing color will help it stand out. Mine is a dark purple which tends to fade into the background. |
Verbascum winter sows nicely so you might try letting some seed fall to the ground and collecting and winter sowing some this winter. I no longer need to winter seed any as they self sow here. That blue is lovely. I have the violet, a light purple, milkshake, and Southern Charm. After the first bloom I cut the stalk to the next budding point. These lower and side blooms are shorter but still lovely. I think not letting Southern Charm go to seed has helped it last several years. It is the only one I bought as a plant. |
Tried several of these over the years - Southern Charm, chaixii Album, phoeniceum - hoping they might do well in this damp climate since bird-sown common mullein (thapsis) thrives. Planted together on a slope for drainage in sun till mid-afternoon, each gave a half-hearted showing, as did their scant volunteer seedlings, and petered out after a few years. Ah, well, nice try, no go. Weeding around in a mixed perennial bed in another area this Spring, noticed a vaguely familiar seedling & left it for later ID, watching it grow quickly & lushly. Once it began to bloom, finally recognized it as verbascum. Which one - a mix from the former site, wildling, sown by a bird? This mystery's shot up to 30x20" & thrown a dozen spikes whose flowers are clear pale apricot yellow with lavender bosses. Gives the effect of a multiple clump rather than a loner. Could it be chaixii, nigrum or blattaria? Whatever its identity, most welcome, and obviously happy in this overly rainy site & season. Rich clay-based loam where it stands, kept moist for the roses & companions. Somehow had the idea they preferred leaner & drier soil - maybe that's where I went wrong in the past? Delighted at the serendipity & hoping it will stick around & reproduce. Found a Southern Charm at the rear of the pot ghetto. (How many years has that been hiding there?) Given a larger pot & rich soil, it's now ready to bloom. High interest in the charms of this tribe peaking again... Swoon for wowser Blue Lagoon - thanks for putting it on my radar! Not turning up in stock on mailorder sites, know of any? May have to make the local nursery rounds in search of this beauty. (Better yet, call around, since my seasonal resistance is weakening, what with the denizens of the pot ward imploring me to find earth homes for them & not let newcomers jump the line.) Lucky ones with Blue Lagoon, do tell how they do for you! |
- Posted by Donna.in.Sask 2b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 13:16
Only the white-flowered one is reliably hardy for me (actually kind of weedy due to self sowing), I've tried the purple and the peach (Helen Johnson)...they were okay for a few years but just disappeared one year. It might be a good idea to collect seeds just in case. |
No seeds - will have to propagate from root cuttings. I had this - a bit measly, to be honest and the blue became a sort of washed out slatey colour - OK, I thought but it was not a strong plant and, only 2 years after getting 3, they are no longer with me.....whereas the little V.phoeniceums have remained, returning reliably, never misbehaving, year on year. Another highly strung, overbred diva, to my mind....but then again, my plants get a robust testing! |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 18:26
I'd still like to try it, we took a trip down island this morning DH was looking for a gadget for his computer, needless to say we hit every garden center on the way home :). No Blue Lagoon, in fact no-one had heard of it but they all jotted the name down. I didn't come home empty handed tho... as we toddled our way back home I picked up another Brugmansia to add to my collection, it's the old variety 'Sunset' but it already had flower buds on it and the price was right, at least that was my reasoning LOL. 4 more are heading my way, 'Dola' 'Angels Exotic', 'Full Rosea' all pinks and 'Snowbank', another with variegated leaves, they should be in the mail on wednesday. Picked up another Tradescantia 'Mac's Blue' to replace the one I lost, a double hollyhock (purple), a Veronica 'Eveline' and a small plant of 'Aglaia' this one I had also lost a couple of years ago. Talking about Tradescanthia's, not everyones cup of tea but I love them. When searching the web to see what other varieties are out there I've seen pictures of mine on other websites, one in particular my picture stating it's 'Mac's Double' it's not it's one called 'Rondeau Sapphire' which I purchased from Sterling Perennials quite a few years back. It has the habit of blooming double sometimes single. I don't mind anyone using my pictures if it is of any use to them but it would be nice if they got the name right. I haven't hit the garden centers locally yet to see if any of them have 'Blue Lagoon', no telling what will fall off the tables and into my basket while on the hunt :). Annette |

Age: Unknown Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Red, Curly, Coarse Eyes: Brown
Wow- do I love these things. So these are satin covered foam rollers. You are likley familiar with the pink foam rollers you used when you were 7. The are those but with a satin cover.
Why is foam bad without satin?
It isn't, unless your hair is very dry. I had been using caruso's. The condition of my hair went to hell. The foam- is like a sponge. It absorbs the moisture up :( The satin cover on these rollers prevents it form touching your hair. In fact, the satin is very smoothing.
Here's how I use: Damp hair, use setting lotion ( I like Mizani) roll sections. Even though my hair is very long- I use the 7/8, in regular hot rollers I use a 1&1/2, for some reason you need to downsize with foam. You can sleep on these, even if you are not thinking you could-it just feels like a memory foam pillow. Nothing hard in them.
When you wake up you will have a head of Shirley Temple obscenely tight pageant curls. You hair length will have coiled waaay up. Remain calm. Take a boar bristle brush and do your thing. These curls will stay till you wash next.
Update: Two months later or so- the satin is getting really frayed. Still works, but I may try Hype Brand satin rollers next time. Down a lippies re: longevity issue.

PITTSBURGH – County Executive Rich Fitzgerald today crowned Maggie Marie Donaldson of West Deer Township as Miss Smiling Irish Eyes 2013. Fitzgerald's participation in the ceremony also included recognition of Miss Smiling Irish Eyes' court maidens, Shea Shovlin and Erin Marie McMahon.
"There are a lot of things I love about this job, but having the honor of crowning Miss Smiling Irish Eyes is definitely one of the highlights," said Fitzgerald. "Obviously, I have a special fondness for the Irish and the traditions that we honor through Miss Smiling Irish Eyes and our annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Maggie, Shea and Erin are outstanding examples of the amazing young people that call Pittsburgh and Allegheny County home. Contrary to the perception of young people that many have, these three young women are engaged and accomplished students who are volunteers in the community that actively promote their Irish heritage."
The crowning of Miss Smiling Irish Eyes is a tradition that dates back to the late 1960s when the Allegheny County Commissioners crowned the queen in session. The County Executive now has the honor and privilege of crowning her.
Maggie Marie Donaldson, the daughter of Tom and Lilli Donaldson, resides in West Deer Township. A student at Deer Lakes High School and the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (WPSD), she is an honor roll student and member of the National Honor Society. She is the Class of 2013 Vice President, the 2013 Student Body Government Vice President and the Valedictorian of the Class of 2013. She lettered in track, volleyball, cheerleading and softball, and serves as president of the junior Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians – Division 23. Of her many volunteer efforts, Maggie organized volunteers to do the hair, make-up and nails for attendees of the WPSD Prom in 2012 and 2013. She also arranged a drive to collect Prom gowns for the students at the school. After graduation, she plans to attend a four-year university, majoring in biology, to pursue a career in marine biology, specializing in environmental issues and the impact on marine life.
Court maiden Shea Shovlin resides in Edgewood and is a Senior honors student at Oakland Catholic High School. She plans on attending Rutgers University in the fall.
Court maiden Erin Marie McMahon is from South Park. She is a senior at South Park High School, and an honors student, who intends to attend the University of Pittsburgh in the fall.
Miss Smiling Irish Eyes must be a single woman between the ages of 17 and 22, of Irish birth or descent, of good moral character, and an active promoter of her Irish ancestry. As part of her duties, Miss Smiling Irish Eyes participates in ceremonial functions leading up to and including the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

2/3 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Very good. They are very close to a brownie. You don't think they're done after 7-9 minutes, but they are after they set. Very chewy. I'm know for my chocolate chip cookies and my husband said these might even be better than those!
Not the recipe I was hoping for. Soft and cakey, not chewy. Easy enough to follow but not one to keep.
37 Ratings
really yummy & chocolatey! As per other review, do NOT increase oven temp & bake longer!!! You will burn cookies. I think her oven might be off. I found recipe to be exactly right.
Two stars for this cookie as I was very disappointed in how it baked into a typical flat pancake-like cookie. I have been baking for years and have not seen such a flat cookie recipe in about as many. They were hard to remove from my well greased sheet ,even after I let them sit on the sheet for a few minutes to cool off. They are crumbly and not a very solid cookie at all. On a positive note, they are a very tasty cookie. I won't be making these again. sorry, just not happy at all with these.
Absolutely heavenly. They are not only soft, but they have this melt-in-your-mouth texture. They were all gobbled up within a few hours of my making them - a huge hit with all my picky brothers and sisters! Tomorrow is my eldest brother's birthday (he's away attending college) and this is what I am sending him in the mail - I'm sure he'll love them as much as we al at home do!!
Everyone loved them. They were very chocolatey and chewy.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!!
This is a very good cookie. Very much like a brownie. However, I had to increase the baking time to 11 minutes and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. I will probably make them again, as my family really liked them!

The Challenge of Cheating
Students cheating in school has come a long way from the occasional student in my day who, being a slow reader, would copy the book fly for his book report, write an informational piece straight out of the encyclopedia because he had never really learned how to synthesize information, or steal a quick glance at another student's paper when he was really feeling frustrated on a test. School cheating has become so common that there are websites designed to promote it and the wonders of technology have made it easier than ever. For many students, cheating in school has become such an accepted practice that it is not viewed as doing something wrong.

Julie Taymor, former director for the Broadway musical Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark, has filed a lawsuit against the producers of the show claiming unpaid royalties.
The lawsuit was filed by Taymor's attorney Charles Spada on November 8 in US District Court in Manhattan. In a statement, Spada noted that "the producers' actions have left her no choice but to resort to legal recourse to protect her rights."
Taymor was the original director on Spider-Man, as well as its co-bookwriter, until she was dismissed from the show last March as it suffered through various technical, production and financial delays, as well as numerous injuries among the cast.
Among the complaints listed in the lawsuit are allegations that Taymor is owed more than $70,000 in book royalties to date, that her contract states no changes can be made to show without her consent, and that she has been paid no co-bookwriter royalties since April 17, which was the last time Spider-Man was performed before new revisions were added to the work.
In response to Taymor's lawsuit, Spider-Man lead producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J Harris released a statement saying: "Since Ms Taymor's departure in March, we have repeatedly tried to resolve these issues. The production has indeed compensated Ms Taymor for her contribution as a co-book writer. Fortunately the court system will provide, once and for all, an opportunity to resolve this dispute. We look forward to a resolution in which everyone is properly compensated for their contribution to Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark."
The key issue for both sides seems to be how much of Taymor's creative input remains in the show, a point which is currently being examined in two separate legal actions. For in addition to the recent lawsuit, Taymor had previously filed a complaint against the Spider-Man producers over royalties owed her as a director, a case which is currently being examined in an arbitration hearing. Testimony began on the arbitration matter last month, with no official word as to the status of that dispute or when a decision might be reached.
The Tony Awards administration committee recently ruled that Taymor is eligible for a Tony nomination as Best Director of a Musical for her work on Spider-Man, while her replacement, Philip McKinley, is not. McKinley, who came on board as a consultant when Taymor left the show, is now credited as the Spider-Man director on the musical's official website, with Taymor listed as having done "original direction." The Tony committee also announced Taymor will be eligible for a nomination as co-bookwriter, along with writers Glen Berger and Roberto Aguirre-Sucasa.

Let's Keep It Simple--Dickeson
September 2003Nobody wins the blame contest. We spec'ed out the MIS framework before we'd ever heard of Deming, Shewhart, Wheeler, Goldratt, Ohno, Chaos Theory and all that stuff. Mandelbrodt hadn't yet mentioned the non-linearity of numbers. Both we, and our system suppliers, were doing the best we could with what we knew at the time.
We didn't think about the fact that we mainly wanted the system for estimating—predicting costs—so we could price jobs. Now we know. We can't predict. Can't predict sales—job quantity, job mix and job timing. We just can't predict job or form sequence in commercial printing. We can't predict what customers will demand. We can't forecast what hours will be chargeable and what hours won't. We can't predict the weather, the national or state deficits, unemployment or the stock market. What were we thinking about?
Because we didn't know these things, we developed estimating/ pricing systems that seemed right at the time, but no longer are. Now we don't trust numbers because we don't trust ourselves. Some of us say things like, "I need that computer estimating system because it clues me on how my competitor will price." Honestly? Isn't that an oxymoron or something?
We thought the cost systems would tell us where we went wrong when we lost big time on some job—post mortem stuff. But we just didn't know about routine process variation. Maybe that loss was just routine variance. We didn't think about the non-linearity of the numbers—didn't know how to measure and find out. And even if we did know, what can we do about it now? That knowledge won't work in our computer system. The one we've already bought and paid for.
So, we wallow on in the deep quicksand we created, blaming everyone but ourselves. Blame the customer, blame the crews, blame the suppliers, blame the weather. Did we miss anybody?
But when we run out of blame, let's sit down and figure out what we're really going to do. Okay. . .I'm listening.
We can't use the books of account for management decisions. General Ledger Accounting is always a rear-view mirror. Can't use job cost accounting because it's 99 percent wrong and we don't, and shouldn't, trust it.
We've just got to SIMPLIFY. We need numbers we all believe and that make sense with what we know now. We're pretty smart people and we've got to trust ourselves and what our gut says is right.
About the Cash
Let's get back to cash. That's simple. We can trust ourselves to know how much cash goes in and how much comes out. We know what we billed a customer and what we spent for materials for that job. The difference is value-added. What we're spending for payroll and everything else is cash going out as general business expense. That's it. Don't sweat it. Don't complicate it. Don't make a deadly quicksand of "costs."
It really is that simple. Just know the value added by job, customer and the totals. Simplify. Know how fast or how slow the customer pays his print bill. Simplify!
How do we price a job? How are you doing it now? You're really not using that fancy estimating system you mistrust, are you? Just figure out what you think the materials cost will be and then double, triple or quadruple that number, as you deem best. You then have a target price. Proceed as you're now doing. But make it a judgment call based on informed intuition. It's really that simple, isn't it?

Hello fellow gardeners, I have been fortunate to inherit a mature hardy kiwi at my new home . . . I would love to make jam, jelly, or preserves of some kind with the harvest, but cannot find any recipes. Does anyone have any hardy kiwi recipes? One site said to use them like you would grapes - can anyone attest to that? Thanks in advance! |

Sorry, no kiwi recipes - I think kiwis are protected animals. However, some kiwifruit recipes for you: Kiwifruit Jam In a large saucepan bring kiwifruit and citric acid to the boil. Reduce heat, simmer until fruit is soft. add sugar, Stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil rapidly 15-20 minutes or until jam reaches 105°C. Remove from heat and remove scum. Cool for 15 minutes. Ladle into hot, sterilised jars and seal. Keeps for 3-4 months. Kiwifruit Jellies Line a 20x25cm pan with wax paper. In a blender mix the fruit, lemon juice and 1 cup of the sugar. Pass the liquid through a fine strainer into a large saucepan. Add remaining sugar, stir well and bring to the boil. Add butter, stirring constantly, and boil for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat, stir in pectin and a few drops of green colouring. Pour into prepared pan and leave overnight. Cut into attractive shapes and roll in sugar. Store in a cool place in an airtight container with wax paper separating layers. Will keep for about 1 week. Kiwifruit Chutney Simmer all ingredients together until thick, stirring frequently. Spoon into sterilised jars and seal. Serve with curry dishes. |
I made jam several years with my hardy kiwis -- I just used the recipe for strawberry jam which came with the pectin (I used Sure-Jel Lite), and I always add a splash of lemon juice if the recipe doesn't call for it. The jam is excellent. You can also make a nice sauce or syrup by just cooking with sugar and lemon juice minus the pectin -- a little runny, but good for ice cream or pancakes. |

Silver Loon
Update 06-5)
by Edgar J. Steele
Note: This article was posted to the ConspiracyPenPal web site on a Saturday. The very next trading day, May 14, precious metals came under assault by the market manipulators, forcing serious declines all across the board. Here is the squib I posted on the site that night (and what I would have emailed you then if I had a functional list management system in place): May 15 - Back up the truck again: Silver closed in New York at $13.32 per ounce today. In the extended markets (Asia), it is down another 20 cents as of 5:30 pm PDT. This is a gift, folks. It is down about $2 from where it wants to be right now. All precious metals have been pounded down today and it isn't because of free market action. Those who are so desperately short silver derivatives have done it and will be in there very soon, covering some of their shorts again. This will happen again and again until they have eliminated their exposure. Most people buy when something is rising. Most people make very little money (actually, they lose it when you factor in lost purchasing power). Tomorrow morning would be an excellent time to visit your silver supplier and make a buy...or, go on line and invest in the silver EFT (SLV), then liquidate it and use the proceeds to buy real silver after the price goes back up again. If I had a functional list manager, I would send out an email to everyone, but this is the best I can do for now.
May 16 - I have just signed on to a new list management system and will endeavor to send this out now to at least that portion of the list that reconfirmed on my latest, not-so-great list manager that bowed to Internet censorship (Constant Contact, just so you know). All metals are bouncing back today, but silver has recovered only 26 cents, so still time to jump in...do it.
May 13, 2006
From a NY Times article entitled "Finding Comfort (and New Friends) in Gold" (May 7, 2006) comes the following: "With their missionary zeal and weakness for conspiracy theories, gold lovers can seem a touch afflicted. They also collect and pass around offbeat, brain-teasing findings. One is that the dollar has lost 98 percent of its value since 1913, when the Federal Reserve System was established."It gets harder and harder to sound outlandish when speaking of where the prices of precious metals are heading. Even so, let me push the envelope and say something right out loud that I have mentioned to a few in private: Before it is all over and the world settles down again into a semblance of normalcy, I believe that the price of silver will exceed that of gold.
Yep, you heard me right. Because of worldwide inelastic industrial demand, I do not believe that the amount of above-ground silver ever again will approach that of gold. Yes, there still is more silver in the ground than gold, but we simply can't get it out fast enough to make a dent in the demand deficit that has been growing ever since we used up those monumental stores of silver that have been sitting around...well, forever.
Now do you see why I'm talking about $15 silver the same way I did when its spot price was $5? Chances are, I will continue talking like this when $50 silver is but a memory, too.
There. That should ensure my title as resident Silver Loon for some time now.
What's Going On?
Conventional analysts and even many of my fellow loons consider precious metals now to be overbought and due for a correction. Maybe. I doubt it. These are not conventional times and that is where conventional analysis fails us.
Something is happening right now that hasn't happened since Confederate money went down the tubes: An American currency is crashing. In fact, all fiat currencies throughout the world are sliding into the pit right now, with the dollar leading the way, else the dollar's actual speed of decline would be all the more visible. Here's the best view on the dollar: virtually all commodities have doubled in the past 6 months. Not from speculation and not from some mysterious increase in absolute value. It's the measuring rod that is changing - the dollar.
It is said that, in time, all money reverts to its inherent value. Well, take out a dollar bill and look at it. Now lay a hundred-dollar bill next to it. What is the inherent value of those two pieces of paper? That's right, they are the same. Exactly, precisely the same.
Did you know that the Zimbabwe dollar today, inch for inch, is worth less than toilet paper? After all, toilet paper serves a useful function. They simply printed too many of them, the same thing the Confederacy did when on its last legs. What function is performed by a defunct piece of currency? Try to buy toilet paper with a Confederate dollar bill.
Like the Zimbabwe dollar, the American dollar is on a one-way trip. There is no rescuing it now, after all the inflation, the massive pileup of debt, the staggering trade imbalances, the loss of virtually all of America's manufacturing capabilities and the incredible profligacy of the current American Administration. WhirlyBen's solution? Print more, of course. That always is the answer. Make no mistake: the dollar is doomed.
And that is why conventional wisdom sucks when applied to today's financial markets. Conventional wisdom presumes a recovery. There will be no recovery this time. And, of course, we are about to have another World War, the time-honored way to revitalize the world's economy. The bad guys will lose. Who? Why, us, of course. You didn't really think the world would allow America to continue visiting its insanity upon small, defenseless countries, did you?
We Americans stand on the edge of an economic abyss, the likes of which we never before have seen.
Meanwhile, WhirlyBen Bernanke keeps printing it and Truly Insane ("God tells me to kill") George W. Bush keeps spending it. They know, of course, that the end is near, which is why they keep doing what they're doing.
Head for the hills. Hunker down. Trade your dollars for something that will survive the coming debacle. Have priorities and ensure your family's safety and relative comfort, first and foremost. Then put away something that will endure. I like silver, for so many reasons, but any commodity will do. Then, if you have anything left and like to play in traffic, try some mining stocks on for size. Their leverage can make some impressive profits, but only if you have enough sense to pull those profits out and put them into something other than dollars before it all comes crashing down.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Coburg Hills are a range of foothills of the western Cascade Range of Lane and Linn counties in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] They are located northeast of Eugene and east of Coburg, between the Mohawk Valley and Willamette Valley.
Contents |
The Coburg Hills rise to an elevation of approximately 2,000 feet at Coburg Ridge.[2]
One of the most notable features of the Coburg Hills is a gap or saddle at its north end called the Hayworth Saddle. This previously unnamed feature received its official name in 2008, after Register-Guard columnist Bob Welch asked readers for suggestions. Eventually, they voted for "Hayworth Ridge", after a local family who has been farming near there since 1875. The name was changed to "Hayworth Saddle" by the Oregon Geographic Names Board, which in turn recommended it to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The board adopted the name in September 2008.[3][4]
Individual summits in the range include Spores Point, Buck Mountain, Mount Tom, Round Mountain and Bald Mountain.

I think what you are looking at is just some stress from the move from a commercial greenhouse to your home. It could be very small reaction to under-watering, but I'm pretty sure what you're looking at is just foliage that grew in one place acclimating to another place. Chances are those leaves will be fine, and any new growth that this guy puts out will be unaffected. For one thing, Ficus elastica variagata is a lot harder to please than the standard burgundy cultivar, but in general they are very easy plants to grow. Since yours is variegated though, make sure it gets plenty of light! Don't freak out, continue to treat the plant in the same way you currently are. If this is all that you can see after you've owned it for a few months, chances are the plant is doing fine. Great job with the picture, by the way. I'd love to write an article on your ficus elastica for my blog if you'll send in the picture. Check out the link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.houseplantblog.com/
Elkay - I'm remembering your name as Linda? I can't see the lower leaf, but it looks like the pucker occurs at an area of the leaf where there is a slight aberration in the variegation. If that holds true for the bottom leaf, it's not unreasonable to think that because there are two different genotypes growing in the same leaf that they might grow at different rates and produce a puckering effect. The other possibilities are a deficiency of one of several nutrients known to cause puckering and contorted leaves. These deficiencies can be caused by an actual physical deficiency, impaired root function and the plant's inability to absorb enough of the deficient element to ensure normal cell formation, or so much of another element in the soil that it impairs uptake of the deficient element (an antagonistic deficiency). The other very distinct possibility is that it is simply an inherited genetic trait, which sort of returns full circle to the first possibility I mentioned. AL |

Al, You are a mad scientist. I friggin' love it. Chances are, what you said is correct. However, I've purchased a few F. elastica from large greenhouses and seen this before myself. In all cases the new growth from after I brought them home was unaffected. Are we saying the same thing in different words? I hope so because honestly, I don't think I'd be comfortable disagreeing with you, sir. : P -3rd yr P.S. Here's a picture of on of my Ficus elasticas. It's old, but I'm working on a follow up now so you'll be able to see the progress the plant has made in the last couple of years. |
Here is a link that might be useful: One of my rubber trees
Usually in new plants (straight from the nursery/greenhouse) the effect is most pronounced on the plants and/or leaves over-exposed to very high light. The puckering effect is the plant's way of reducing the amount of surface exposed to direct light & is quite common in Ficus. The leaves on the plant Elkay shows doesn't have that look, though, which usually includes wavy leaf margins, entire (the whole margin) on affected leaves. I'm guessing that's probably what you were seeing in your new plants, but who knows. This isn't directed at you or anyone in particular, but I never mind being disagreed with. It can be sort of interesting if 2 people disagree & both make their best case(s). Much can be learned from the discussion, and I'm all about sharing information/helping and learning, too. It's only when people follow me around intentionally & disagree only for the sake of disagreement, purposefully working toward creating heat where there could be light, that I lose some degree of patience. Fortunately, the recent spate of that sort of behavior has been partially curtailed. If you have an argument that makes sense & treat me fairly, you can't offend me. Elkay - In my travels I revisited the thread that made me think your name was Linda, but unless it's a huge coincidence, I realize it's not - sorry. ;o) AL |

Thank you Al and Thirdyearbonsai for the info. I'm hoping it's just the move from the greenhouse to my house that caused the puckering. The two leaves that he's produced since I got him have no puckering - it's so weird that it happened overnight! And Al, I don't think I've ever posted my name - so how would you know. It's Lisa, by the way. |
