Above: Twisted, Moike Eisenhardt& Anna-Lena Fischer
At imm Cologne this month ARTS THREAD was intrigued by the display by HFT Stuttgart, whose 15 interior architect students had risen to the challenge to create a storage solution using low-cost or recyclable materials.
Twisted by Moike Eisenhardt and Anna-Lena Fischer is composed of L-shaped concrete shelves that fit on top of one another to form a 160cm high folded concrete ribbon. Set in-between the shelves are rectangular lockers made of copper to create a decorative and functional storage space that also acts as a screen divider.
Flis, Sarah M S Siedel & Paul Piper / Membrana, Anselm Büchler & Benjamin Dietz / Möbelsport, Cinja Schmied & Michael Herzog
The Flis series by Sarah M S Siedel and Paul Piper has been designed as a modular system composing two cupboards, a wardrobe, a bookcase and a sideboard that can be placed in any order along a six metre long wall. The pieces make use of low-cost materials, such as the simple white and blue tiles shown on the cupboard pictured above.
Möbelsport by Cinja Schmied and Michael Herzog is designed to give storage space for different sports, taken from a sports lifestyle – so wall bars become hanging space, the bench seating is functional in style and the materials sports-inspired.
Membrana by Anselm Büchler and Benjamin Dietz stands over 2 metes high and over a metre wide is a storage system using bright green semi-transparent stretch mesh across the ends to form a cocoon-like effect around the piece of furniture. Some items can be hidden at the sides and others displayed in the centre of the shelf.
Schuhregal, Hanna Schnürer & Kristin Steimei / STICK IT#, Anne Kräuter & Ilaria Guglielmetti
STICK IT# by Anne Kräuter and Ilaria Guglielmetti is a shelving system made from aluminium that forms spaces of 60cm x 30cm between the grids to create an overall space of 270cm x 192cm. Cardboard boxes can be arranged inside the grids to show contents on the outside or tuned around to hide them.
Schuhregal (shoe shelf) by Hanna Schnürer and Kristin Steimei is a 40cm x 35 cm tower for stacking shoes that can be made from lacquered or galvanised metal and uses to decorative effect the sharp folds that can be created in the material. The 184cm tower is further enhanced by contrast-colour traditional cross-stitching across the joins. The tower is lightweight and holds up to 18 pairs of shoes.

Watch Heroes
The first season of Heroes begins with several characters coming into their powers through either random events, deep introspection or a simple, unshakable urge to test their limits. The "save the cheerleader, save the world" plot arc drew the attention of millions and quickly put Heroes in the spotlight among shows in its time slot.
Heroes season 1 first introduced the characters of the cheerleader, played by Hayden Panettiere, and Peter Petrelli, performed by Milo Ventimiglia. These two heroes would serve as the crux of the show and would help in maintaining the Heroes fan base even through its waning years.
One of the main draws NBC's Heroes presented was its multiracial component. The characters in Heroes drew from several different backgrounds, such as Hiro, who was an office worker in Japan, or Nathan Petrelli, a politician from New York. The continual juxtaposition of cultures, races and character backgrounds played a strong role in establishing interweaving story arcs and character drama.
Each consecutive season would lead in additional characters, with some episodes outright killing certain important roles. The emphasis on the fate of the world, with the show still staying strongly tied to the fates of individual characters, gave audiences a sense of dark realism. Very few characters were considered sacrosanct. Heroes' writing staff used character deaths to create a sense of suspense not present in many other science-fiction-based dramas.
Character arcs between the individual heroes and villains were equally unpredictable. Early viewers of the show would be considerably surprised at the direction the main villain/hero took from beginning to end, for instance. The assistance of strong science fiction elements, tested humanity and impossible situations did much to create storylines where even the worst enemies could find common ground.
Heroes began to struggle in later seasons, and viewership never recovered from season three's finale. Where season one and two rode strong on the backs of untold character development and a deeper look into the limits of power, season 3 began to venture further into deeper science fiction. Many critics regard this shift as the show's true turning point, with reduced viewership catching up to storytelling that had grown out of touch.

Heroes News
It's an NBC nerd-show cross-over!
Apparently NBC's "Heroes" has its own superpower: Coming back from the dead. The network has announced that it will be reviving the canceled sci-fi TV series for a limited run in the near future, giving superheroes another shot in prime time on NBC. The move makes some sense considering the relative success of other superhero shows: "Marvel's Agents of S.
It may not be the first time someone has told Hayden Panettiere her acting made them want to puke, but it's probably the first time it could end up bringing about legal repercussions. Panettiere will play accused college-aged murderer Amanda Knox in the upcoming Lifetime movie "Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy." The network recently released a trailer for the film, and let's just say it made Amanda a little nauseous.
Ali Larter and her husband got an early Christmas present. Ali – star of Heroes and her husband Hayes MacArthur – from the upcoming show Perfect Couples, welcomed a blue bundle of joy on Monday. Ali had announced her pregnancy back in the spring but really didn't give a due date for her baby, wanting to keep some of it a surprise. So, when you have a husband with a names as Presidential as Hayes MacArthur, what do you name your child? Did they come up with something wacky or did they go the traditional route? Actually, they went so traditional it is boring! Ali and

If you had to pick one color for the whole house what color would you pick? i'm thinking either a beige or a soft grey. We will paint some other rooms later but we are on a budget with this house and I don't want to pay extra for the paint colors to change. $100 for an accent wall? |

Our build came with 2 wall paint colors--the boys' wanted blue rooms, so that's what they got. The rest of the house is SW Simply Beige. It looks a little pinky until it dries completely, then it's a beautiful neutral beige. |
- Posted by cbusmomof3 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 21:33
I would do SW Universal Khaki (or Relaxed Khaki if I wanted lighter) because I've used it before and I know it doesn't have any pink undertones but it's still warm enough for me. It really looks good with everything. |
- Posted by gingerjenny (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 21:57
mydreamhome...thanks for the photo. that does look like a nice beige. Looks great with the white trim too! Guess I better make a trip to SW to see it in person. |
I was in a model home recently that was painted in Sherwin Williams called Tony Taupe (SW7038) and it looked just perfect! No pink or green in it at all. I wrote it down for when our house is ready to paint (we are still working on plans!) |
Here is a great post with some color comparisons |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sample SW colors
BM Grant Beige SW Kilim Beige SW Nomadic Desert Don't go by the photos you see or the tiny paint chips. You need to buy samples, paint onto 11x17 artist canvas (cheap ones from walmart) and take them to the new house. The beige that someone swears has no ugly undertone, will be the one that turns bandaid beige in your house. All the beiges I used in my old house in the Northeast did not work in my current house in CA. |

I wanted a light beige - many of those suggested are quite dark - since I was painting it mostly everywhere, including basement rooms with no windows. I also wanted no yellow undertones and no pink undertones. I used carrington beige which I love!!! It looks great in all rooms - whether they have lots of sun or no sun. I did do Bleeker Beige in my dining room and Shaker Beige in one son's room/bath (looked better with his bedding and tile), and am going to do the SW mix of Farrow and Ball's stony ground in my bedroom because it looks good with my fabric. None of these are very dark but I tend to like light and bright :). Shaker Beige can turn pink in the wrong place and I would be cautious using that all over . . . |
- Posted by athensmomof3 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 16, 12 at 9:30
Also, I bought those huge foam boards and painted samples on them and moved them around. One color on each side and painted to the edges (I labeled in the middle with masking tape). I didn't want to be distracted by white around the edges (this was more important when choosing outside colors). Phoebe Howard (a southern decorator) has a list of her favorite paint colors on her blog - blues, greens, trim colors, neutrals, etc. They are all fairly light because she rarely does dark colors on the wall, but it is a great resource. They are all good colors. I'll attach the beige list. Also - you can order from BM online large swatches if your paint store doesn't have them (mine doesn't). You may have to register as a decorator (I was registered already but it doesn't take any special information). That was a great way to narrow down colors - although I still bought 20 sample quarts at least!!! |

Love that Lattice! Not sure I have ever seen it but I can see why you love living with it :) Where did you get your dining room chandelier? I am on the hunt and want something that color with crystals but am having a hard time! |
- Posted by athensmomof3 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 16, 12 at 9:34
Sorry Nini! |
When we built this house I wanted a nice light neutral tan, that I used almost everywhere. It was SW SofterTan. I have since reprinted every room, but that color was really good for a nice all over warm neutral. This is the only good pic I could find of the color and it was during construction. |
- Posted by gingerjenny (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 16:35
anyone try the wool skein its two lighter than Universal Khaki and one lighter than Relaxed Khaki I couldn't find simply beige. I did find one called simplify beige though. Do you think it was that? SW 6085 |
We recently did the same thing. Spent a couple months looking for the right all around single color. We settled on BM Crisp Khaki. Being also on a budget, we had Home Depot color match it into Behr Ultra paint for half the price of BM. Also used SW Anew Gray in the DR, also in Behr. Both good neutrals. |
Hey Athensmom, I *think* that fixture came from Cspital, or possibly Murray Fiess or Quiozel (those were the 3 we ordered from, but I am pretty sure that one was from Capital.) Your house is looking awesome! |

Crispy Phyllo tartlettes with Cherry tomatoes, Mozzarella & Anchovies
January 6, 2012 in Uncategorized
These may seem finicky and like they take a lot of trouble but I can assure you that could not be further from the truth. These gorgeous and delicious tartlettes are so easy to make, I would trust my 19-year old brother to do it (please note that my brother can barely make himself toast and he's a master at making 2-minute noodles!
What is important to remember when working with phyllo is that whatever filling you add needs to be relatively dry or else the pastry will go soggy and that kind of defeats the purpose as you want the pastry to stay beautiful and crisp.
These tarts are the perfect thing to serve for a weekend lunch with a salad or as a starter and they are relatively healthy. I used Fior Di Latte (and only 70g (2.47 ounces) for the 3 tarts) and butter for brushing the phyllo but I wrote those off as the necessary fat and protein I need with my lunch. The anchovies are optional but I promise you they take this from great to fantastic! It's also incredibly easy to feed a crowd with this as you just add more ingredients, nothing is specific so work on what your taste buds are telling you!

Beautiful Thank You's
Vintage Vineyard Thank You Cards These thank you's are great. The paper quality is excellent and the flexibility to customize was terrific and easy. I used the wine color and looked at it on 3 different screens to be sure of the color. It is a bit lighter than I hoped as I was coordinating them to an invitation from another supplier. That said, it is beautiful and I think the bride will be pleased.
Nice and Small
Intricate Vines Save the Date Magnets I love the magnets. The color, shape and design is exactly what I wanted it to be. I did expect it to be a little bigger so that you could read it a little better. I guess that does make it easier to mail. Either way, my fiancé and I areexcited!!!
Beautiful Thank You Cards
Intricate Vines Thank You Cards I purchased the "Intricate Vines" Thank You cards to match our purple "Intricate Vines" Save the Date magnets. I was really excited to order the matching set because the colours and theme matched perfectly. The thank you cards are beautiful! The quality is excellent and they look extremely professional. The size is also great, with room to write a personal message without having to write a lot or leave a lot of blank room. The quality of the envelopes are also great. I love the product and service that I've received from Magnet Street and would definitely recommend them to others.
great invitations
Intricate Vines Rectangle Invitations Our invitations turned out great and the website was very easy to use to customize them.
Durable Product, Fast Turn Around
Intricate Vines Save the Date Magnets I ordered Save the Date magnets without a picture, just a design. The free online personalization was easy to use and really helped get a feel for what your order would look like. The search criteria is easy to use as well (i.e. one photo, no photos, etc.). Saving favourites and designs you've personalized was a huge benefit, as I could create a few and then select my favourite(s). (That also helped so I could just show the groom a select few with our info already in it so he could just look once and give his input) Production and shipping was done quickly, I had my order a day before the expected time. My order of Save the Date magnets came nicely packaged (in a Tiffany's blue box) with a few examples of invitation packages. While I am aware that this is a selling technique, it was so exciting to open and look through! I was very happy with my Magnet Street purchase!

LSI Logic and ARM are addressing the data deluge gap – the perennial gap between the demand for bandwidth and the capacity provided by the network operators.
Jeff Richardson, LSI's COO, points out that network traffic is growing at 32% CAGR but the spending on telecommunications equipment is growing at 5% CAGR.
LSI's answer to the gap is Axxia, an SoC which has separate cores for traffic management, security and switching.
Although Axxia currently uses Power PC cores, it is switching to ARM. "We feel good about ARM's road map," Richardson tells EW. LSI has been working with ARM on networking for a year.
LSI grew revenues 32% last year to over $2bn and it is expected it will grow them another 25% this year.
As well as its networking chips, LSI has a storage IC business where it has technology called Nytro PCIe Flash for servers which alleviates the latency bottleneck between the access time of HDD and the access time of flash cache.

The Best Worst Thing Ever. Fire at Animalkind.
Animalkind, Inc
The Best Worst Thing Ever. Fire at Animalkind.
Article from Covered in Cat Hair, August 24, 2012
Late in the evening of May 1, 2012, on the third floor apartment where a caretaker lived, a small fire broke out due to the hot embers of a cigarette coming into contact with bedding. The fire was extinguished before the fire department even arrived. The building didn't burn to the ground, but something equally terrible occurred. The building-wide sprinkle system was activated, releasing a torrent of water, not light rain showers, but a flood of water throughout the building.
On the second, first and basement levels lived the cats of Animalkind, a non-profit cat shelter located in Hudson, New York. Most of the cats were allowed to freely roam their adoption areas. Terrified from the onslaught of water, the cats climbed onto the horizontal vents from the brand new $50,000 HVAC system that was installed to control the spread of disease. The cats huddled in the rafters, terrified; but what was worse was the fate awaiting the most fragile of the cats—the mamas and kittens. They were in the basement and all the water from the floors above pooled there, inches deep. The families weren't free to escape, they were in cages, trapped in the water at risk of drowning.

No one perished. No cats died. In that, it was a miracle, but the building was gutted. The once pink and yellow cheerful walls of Animalkind were soaked, ruined, crumbling to the floor. The joy that had filled the building, all the years of hard work and loving care, vanished in a matter of hours. The building that once held 150 cats was destroyed.
As early as 2am Katrin Hecker, the Director and Founder of Animalkind, her volunteers, staff and residents of Hudson, New York, gathered together and quickly began to capture as many cats as they could.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of a local merchant, The Warren Inn, a nearby hotel, turned its' office space into a temporary shelter space. It was just a few steps away from Animalkind's headquarters. Cages were assembled and cats were tagged and given a place to recover their shock. Many cats needed to go into temporary foster homes and people throughout the area opened their doors. The townsfolk jumped into action along with everyone from Animalkind. Though heartbreaking, the staff was buoyed by the support.

isn't lost on me.
In the following days, amazing things happened. Cats who'd been at AK for YEARS were getting adopted. Adoptions on the whole went way up. About 60 cats found homes right away. Folks started to show up from out of the blue to help any way they could. As the news spread, I heard about this terrible tragedy. In an odd coincidence, I'd been only a few miles from the fire delivering Leo to Animalkind's neighbor, Aslan's Sanctuary.

Like so many other people, the devastation bothered me deeply. I couldn't imagine how any rescue could recover from such a loss. I'm just one person. What could I do to help?

of cats, filled with water.
I got in touch with Animalkind and Bob Mechling, a Designer and key member of the shelter, got back to me right away. I asked him what they needed and told him I'd do what I could to help him get it. I couldn't believe I was saying those words. I don't have two sticks to rub together, but in my heart I knew that after all these years of blogging and writing pet product reviews that somewhere I MUST know someone who could help me scrounge up a few donations.

Scott, Your C. Skinneris are fantastic! I tend to like this one more than the others due to its unique petal characteristics --- reminds me of C. Mossiae. Is the flower larger than your other C. Skinneri varities? -Harvey |
Thanks for the nice words! Regardless of the name, I'd say that the flowers are half the size of my 'Casa Luna' division. As I know that everything has been getting poor care, this winter, I'm surprised that so many are doing rather well. |

Very nice skinneri Scott, sorry to hear about your violacea. I do have a an empty violacea ICU section in my outdoor shade house in South Florida. I'd hate for that plant to go belly up. I know scale can be a major downer if you don't check your plants regularly, especially if you grow them somewhat crowded. |

MSI are hitting us hard and fast with new models that have been standing out compared to the competition. No doubt this is the joys of working with both NVIDIA and ATI, though, because it seems that in the near future we'll get upgraded versions of the new GTX 400 series cards from the company, too.
Today however, we're looking at something not quite as high end; a bit of a love it, hate it kind of card, depending on how you look at it. The HD 5830 to some is a model that is spot on to their budget; to others it's too expensive and they think a HD 5850 is a better option. Maybe a HD 5850 is a better option, but if your budget is your budget then it doesn't matter and there's no denying it's faster than the HD 5770.
We've already looked at the HD 5830 a few times including on our new testbed setup, so today we'll be giving the HD 5830 from MSI some love with Afterburner and see how this bad boy overclocks. We'll compare it against the stock HD 5830 and a stock HD 5850 to see how the model compares. For now, though, let's take the time to look at the bundle and the card itself.

I grafted a few montmorency scions onto this today, just to practice. I'm not really sure what it is, but I think it is an ornamental cherry of some kind. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pictures of the buds aren't too great.....those are leftover fruit from last year. I never noticed fruit before and I didn't actually get to see it last summer. When I break open the fruit it only has one seed inside. The seed resembles an apple seed but of course it sits in the center and thereis only one. It has a couple mullberries on one side and a couple of unknown variety apples on the other, all planted by someone else quite awhile ago. |

"If they were to go away," city councilman Ed Thomas, an ex-cop, says of the commission, "they would not be missed by anyone."
The situation is expected to come to a head this week when Denver County Judge Andrew Armatas decides whether the panel, the Public Safety Review Commission, has the right to subpoena police officers' statements when reviewing complaints. The commissioners claim they have a legal right to do so, but that issue is being challenged by the Denver Police Protective Association, the police officers' union. The PPA has been fighting the commission every step of the way since its establishment three years ago. This might be the most critical battle to date.
"The issue," says commission chair Adrienne Benavidez, "is, can this be an effective oversight body or not?" If the commission is denied subpoena power and, therefore, access to statements and internal investigations, the answer clearly is no, she says. The only recourse for the commissioners, she says, would be to ask the city council or Mayor Wellington Webb to strengthen the commission's power.
Commission members, however, are not confident that the mayor would be willing to stick his neck out for them. Just last week, the commissioners met with Webb to discuss what they see as a lack of commitment to their goals by him and his top appointees.
"We do think the administration has not been as supportive as it could," Benavidez acknowledges. "When we see the police chief interviewed on television [about the issue of subpoena power] and he says basically that there's no real need for this commission, that sends a message--especially when there's been no statement about the subject, pro or con, from the administration.
"And the fact that the department and its officers refuse to respond to the subpoenas certainly indicates how they view the commission," Benavidez continues. "The mayor appointed [police chief Dave] Michaud, and though he might not be able to tell individual officers what to do, he can speak with Michaud about his support."
"I believe the mayor can certainly exercise greater leadership concerning the PSRC," echoes commissioner Tony Ogden. "That goes to his urging the chief of police to ask for cooperation from the police officers. He can do that, and it should be done publicly."
In addition, the two complain, Webb has yet to fill two vacant seats on the commission, one of which has been empty since January.
Webb says he'll get to the vacancies. As to the issue of power, well...
"The whole subpoena issue is one that the court will have to resolve," says Webb. "That's something we're not going to get involved in. I told them I would wait until the judge ruled before making any statement on that. But the thing I would say to them is that, one, I do think it's necessary that they be there, and two, I'll work to see that all the slots are filled so they can continue to fulfill their mission."
And perhaps after the commission has a full complement, the mayor adds, "we'll sit down with the manager of safety and the chief" to discuss their support of the board.
The existence of a civilian review board has caused controversy for several years. This latest version grew out of public meetings sparked in part by the Rodney King incident in Los Angeles and by a few high-profile accusations of excessive force in Denver four years ago.
The city had already seen two previous versions of a review board. As they had in the past, Denver police officials and the PPA fought hard against the present commission. But after a protracted fight, they relented and drafted a toothless version of a board--sans subpoena power--that Webb attempted to push through the city council.
The council, however, adopted a stronger version, the one that exists today. Councilmembers specified in their ordinance that the commission could "subpoena witnesses to make statements and produce documents and subpoena documents." The sticking point is, and has always been, whether the commission can subpoena police officers' statements. The Police Officers' Bill of Rights, a part of the city charter, severely limits release of such documents. Until this past summer, the commission skirted the issue by relying upon officers to sign a waiver to release the material.
The vast majority of the cases the board has seen to date haven't been the kind to attract much outcry from either the public or the cops. Rudeness complaints make up at least half of the commission's workload, which has stoked officers' view of the board as petty and unnecessary.
"They are completely superfluous," says councilman Thomas, who is retired from the Denver police. "Look at the issues they've been involved with the last couple years. On an overall scale, it's just mindless stuff. They're involved in parking-ticket complaints and jaywalking incidents."
Last year 63 people (of 425 complaints to the police department) were sufficiently upset with the results of the department's internal investigations that they requested a commission review. Of those cases, the department reversed its position on just one after the commission upheld a complaint. "Almost every one they looked at was handled properly," Thomas says. "It's a non-issue from my perspective. They're dying for a Rodney King case, and it ain't there."

Eli and Peter wanted her to return to head up the ethics commission, but operate out of Springfield. Peter and the rest of the crew would stay in Chicago. Marilyn said she'd only consider the job if she was given unfettered access and could stay in Chicago. Peter said he wanted a day to think about it, which essentially meant that by episode's end, Marilyn got herself her new (technically old) job. Important Marilyn quote: "Ethical issues are never obvious, and they never go away." I am probably reading way too much into this, but I feel like she's also talking about their chemistry. It's not super obvious right now, but Marilyn isn't going away. And the writers have to be setting them up to hook up, right?
Meanwhile, Alicia finally noticed Grace's new grown-up look. And Zach finally showed Alicia why her youngest child had been getting extra attention: the 10 Hottest Politicians' Daughters list. (Did you notice Zach had the bleating goat from last week pop up on his computer?) Alicia browsed the site and the unfortunate comments, and it put her on edge. So it wasn't all that surprising when she told off Cam (P.J. Griffith), a motorcycle riding guy who came to the apartment to visit Grace. It was a great exchange:
Cam: "You must be Mrs. Florrick. I told Grace I might swing by after dinner. I'm running a little late."
Alicia: "She's out. But maybe you'd like to come in and have a beer?"
Cam: "Yeah. That'd be great. Thanks!"
Alicia: "Are you insane? My daughter is 16 years old. You do not come knocking at her door again. Do you understand, Cam? Now is the time to say yes!"
Cam: "Yes."
Alicia: "Good! Express elevator is right behind you. Turn around!" [slams door]
As it turned out, Cam was just Grace's pastor. He was stopping by to pick up some reading material. Then, Alicia and Grace have the heart-to-heart that all mothers and daughters have: Grace just wants to be pretty! Alicia tells her she is, and Grace responds with, "You have to say that." But we had a sweet mother/daughter moment last week with Veronica and Alicia, and this week it was Alicia and Grace.
It's interesting that Kalinda didn't know Alicia was leaving. Like Robyn, I just assumed that since Kalinda knew Cary and the other fourth years were leaving, word of Alicia's departure would have gotten around. I mean, Kalinda is an investigator. In other news, Peter told Alicia he wanted to renew their vows before the inauguration. Do you think they're actually going to go through with it? And finally, do you think both Will and Diane are overreacting about the firm's situation? Will knew about Diane's plans to leave so her exit would have been an issue regardless. Or do you think they're both perfectly justified in being so upset at each other? And finally, would you choose Dan Brown or Hemingway? Sound off in the comments.

My friend wants to give me a cutting of her Moses in the cradle plant, but does not know where to make the cuts so as not to damage the plant. She has several sections that have huge leaves and then some that are small vines with a few leaves these look like new baby vines coming from the center of the plant. Where should the cut be made and then how do i get the cuttings to grow soil or water?
Thanks, I know nothing of this plant so any and all help would be great Ann in So Ut |

Check the link to see whether we are thinking of the same plant, whether you have the solid green or the variegated variety, they will root the same. Just snap off a side shoot, peel off some of the lower leaves, and set the stem in moist soil in a bright location, and it should root. I do mine in water for about a week, until I can see the root stubs jutting out, then I pot up. Just my preferred way, this one roots so fast I should get gutsier next time and try straight to soil. Another name for this plant is Oyster Plant, or Moses in a Boat.? |

Thanks so much. I will go over and get my cuttings. My friend is only into houseplants as far as if they grow great if not they are gone. She does nothin other than water so my instructions are very limited at best. Her's is very long and completely bare in the middle of the pot so it just grows out the sides, Is this their habit or is there a way to keep it lush and full looking? i am getting the hang of African Violets, peace lillies, hoyas and the like but this is a new one for me. I would love to have this plant grow to its potential and be beautiful and full. Thanks for all your help Ann in So Ut. |

Perhaps your friend will offer you two shoots? If so, root one in water, the other in soil. I've rooted both ways.. Because we're talking an unrooted cutting, place in a small pot. Slip pot in a plastic bag, with the top opened or slit. When watered, discard excess water that may leak in plastic. Roots should form anywhere between 2-3 weeks. I know a number of people who, when root cuttings, dig through soil to see if the cutting took. Don't do this. Disturbing roots only causes problems. Once you see new growth, remove plastic. BTW, plastic heats, especially in sun. Medium/bright light should do fine. I've rooted Moses/Rhoeos in north windows. But after roots formed, they went in brighter light. Good luck, they're beautiful plants with pretty cradle-like flowers/seeds. Toni |

I have a Moses cradle and it's losing its purple on the undersides. It's also getting rangy. It's in potting soil with fertilizer and otherwise healthy, but I have had this experience. Am in LA area and had it in a north window, also had the same exp. with other plants in a garden window. Help appreciated. |
If there wasn't an easier plant to grow.Just lop off the top,it'll sprout out of the top you cut. The thing that killed mine was rot. |
raisedbed-your plant needs more sun...a lot more sun. Just do it gradually so it won't burn. It will take full sun if grown outside. |

American Nightmare begins perfectly with the intro to a TV show that's shamelessly evocative of its influences. Alan Wake was always in love with The Twilight Zone, but the corny homages of the original game have gone. TV and reality have been reversed, and Alan has to think his way through a storyline while watching his evil twin wreaking what might just be real-world havoc on the box.
This means the story, instead of being a slippery tease, feels self-contained and confident. Wake's self-pitying introspection has been mostly replaced by Night Spring's Rod Serling-alike narrator. It works extremely well - although it's impossible to ignore the terrible female acting, a baffling legacy from the first game. Is it something to do with Remedy's home country? Do Finnish women actually speak like that?
There are a couple of tricks to keep the game downloadable - there aren't many locations, but the developer's found a cheeky way to re-use them. And killing the enemies is the classic Alan Wake deal. They're protected by darkness, so Alan has to burn away the shadows with his torch before bullets can do damage.
Combined with the narrow window in which you can perform a dodge, it's a great system for blending action with tense time management survival. If anything, Alan feels more sprightly than ever, which works well for the new Survival mode. Here, Alan must survive for ten minutes in a multiplier-maintaining score attack. Get hit, and the multiplier gets knocked completely off - dishearteningly harsh if you're six minutes into a perfect round.
It's a great way to play with the combat, especially as the storyline is so short and doesn't really bear repeating. However, a solo survival mode feels unambitious with so many co-op Horde Mode variants on offer.
American Nightmare is good value, but it hints at more than it delivers - a world in which urban myths can come true never materialises in this episode. But that just makes us wonder what Remedy has got in store. It'd be a shame to stop now, just when it's getting good.
A single espresso - the best but shortest yet
- Alan's found his narrative
- Great, unique shooting
- Arcade mode boost longevity
- Three-hour story mode
- No co-op arcade

Ten beers to drink alone on Valentine's Day
There are plenty of lovey-dovey beers to drink with your honey on Valentine's Day -- the Coupler from Wynkoop Brewing, Red Ale from Odell's, and Cherry Dip Stout at the Vine Street Pub, to name a few -- but you're drinking alone this year, right?
For that, you need something a little edgier. Here are ten beers to drink alone on Valentine's Day.
10) Mama's Little Yella Pils
Oskar Blues Brewing
Yeah, it's a great name, and it'll let you drown your sorrows in more ways than one. Oh, and because Mama's is a lower-alcohol pilsner, you can throw back a six-pack and still not have to worry about drunkenly Facebooking your ex.
9) The Nihilist
Mountain Sun Pub, Southern Sun, Vine Street Pub
This imperial stout is the Whiskey of Beers, and you can drink it neat, no rocks. The name says it all. You don't care. Nothing matters. Fuck it.
8) Bigfoot Barley Wine
Sierra Nevada
Oh the places you'll stomp and romp -- in your head, at least -- after a couple (don't say "couple," damn it!) of these big bad boys. At 10 percent alcohol by volume, they'll go down sweet -- unlike your ex -- and have you on your back before dark (also unlike your ex).
7) The Stranger
Left Hand Brewing
Gettin' some strange? No? Sit on your Left Hand 'til it goes numb and then drink one of these. It brings some explosive joy back to being alone.
6) True Blonde Dubbel
Ska Brewing
Do blondes have more fun? Who knows? But this sweet, saucy number is sure to make your ex jealous. And at 8 percent ABV, it's sure to make you forget.

America's Best Donuts
Courtesy of Coffee An' Donuts
Coffee An' Donut Shop, Westport, CT
You don't need to get fancy here. Enjoy the delightfully crispier-than-normal exterior of the plain donut, which is heavier and denser than average (this isn't a bad thing!). But if you insist on something a little sweeter, try the coconut twist—if you're lucky you'll score one straight from the fryer. These donuts are so delicious, former President Bill Clinton—known for having a weakness for sweets—was said to regularly have them shipped to the White House. (343 Main St.; 203/227-3808)

Please look at my trade list and let me know if you would be interested in trading. Pat |
Here is a link that might be useful: My trade list
Hi flowersoffate, I'd really love to trade for orienpet if you still have some left. I do have some amaryllis that you could have. I'd have to check for sure but I think there are 3 and they are the red and white ones. They are some that I have wintered over for a number of years and they did bloom for me last spring and have been outside for the summer. They were just starting to die down on the screen porch and they have been in the root cellar for about a week now. They aren't real big though. I also have 10 triumph mixed colored tulips and/or 10 large sized paperwhites for forcing. Otherwise here's what's on my list. http://members.gardenweb.com/members/exch/catrina . We have already started to freeze here so there are some things that can no longer be dug, but many things still could be. Thanks, Catrina |

Jim Herrig, an aquatic biologist for Cherokee National Forest, was recently recognized in Washington, D.C., for his remarkable work in fish management. He has spent the last 35 years working as a biologist, and the last 26 working in the Cherokee National Forest.
Herrig received the 2012 U.S. Forest Service Rise to the Future award for skilled superiority in the workplace. The award places emphasis on managing fish habitat and angling opportunities. Herrig's award recognizes him for professional excellence and outstanding contributions to the Rise to the Future initiative.
"I am honored to receive this award," Herrig said. "It means a great deal to me and recognizes the management efforts we have made in the Cherokee National Forest. It is exciting and rewarding to see our aquatic management program grow."
He expressed his pride in having worked with many professionals and volunteers to ensure that fish and other aquatic species are here for generations to come.
Since 1987, Herrig has worked in CNF as the forest and fisheries biologist. One of his greatest accomplishments within the organization was his creation of a fish observation program. This program allowed visitors to become educated on fish wildlife while enjoying the hands-on experience of snorkeling.
According to a Cherokee National Forest press release, Herrig was directly responsible for successfully protecting and expanding the habitat of four federally threatened and endangered fish species, including the extremely rare Conasauga logperch. He recently pioneered the successful propagation of native eastern brook trout for reproduction in the wild.
In 1973, Herrig received his bachelor of science degree in wildlife and fisheries science from South Dakota State University. He furthered his education at Colorado State University and received his master of science degree in fisheries science in 1977.
The Cherokee National Forest is located along the Eastern Tennessee border and covers more than 650,000 acres of forest. The Forest Service takes on the responsibility of wilderness care, wildlife and fish environments, water quality, wood products, minerals and outdoor entertainment.

I have very fond memories of canning from my childhood. Well, maybe not the heat radiating off the stove from the boiling pot of water in the late summer. I did enjoy picking raspberries in my grandmother's backyard to make jam, and I relished cracking open a jar any time I had a hankering for homemade dill pickles. In my adulthood, I haven't done any canning, but after attending a canning and fermenting seminar at the NYC Climate & Food Summit last week, I'm excited to take it up again. What better way to eat local year round? Not to mention the cash I'll save buying fruits and veggies in bulk. Now I just need to find a place to stash the jars in my tiny New York apartment…under the bed?
Here's a video of the extremely entertaining Classie Parker, a professional canning consultant and community gardener, demonstrating how fast, easy, and fun it is to make her delicious garlic dill pickles (recipe below). While cucumbers are out of season (at least in the Northeast right now), if you're looking for a thoughtful last-minute Christmas present, these crisp, tangy pickles are sure to be a hit. When it comes to canning, the more the merrier, so invite your friends over and have a canning party.
Classie's Garlic Dill Pickles
Makes 4 pints (you can usually buy Mason jars at your local hardware or kitchen supply store)
Pickling solution:?
1 cup white vinegar (cider and balsamic vinegar are also delicious)
3 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 cups of cleaned vegetables and herbs, including garlic, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, chilies, dill, pickling spices
Wash jars in hot soapy water and then place on rack in simmering water (for a make-shift rack, use screwcaps tied together with twist-ties). Bring pickling solution to a boil. Slice vegetables or leave whole. Remove hot jars and place on clean towel. Pack tightly with vegetables. Pour pickling solution in, leaving half an inch of headspace. Put on tops with lids and tighten caps. Place in boiling water for 20 minutes. The lids will 'pop' when they cool (within 24 hours), letting you know that they're vacuum-sealed. Let sit for 30 days before eating.

Altiplánico Sur, Puerto Natales, Chile
A further testament to the pace of development in Puerto Natales is Altiplánico Sur, which is a two-minute walk from Remota and opened about the same time. Owners Maite Susaeta and Juan D'Étigny have made something of a habit of opening properties near Exploras; their first hotel was in the Atacama Desert, and their next project is on Easter Island, where Explora also has a new property under way. With 22 rooms, Altiplánico Sur is smaller and more pared-down than the Explora in nearby Torres del Paine, not to mention less expensive.
Altiplánico is a bunker hotel—a semicircle set into a hillside, its roof covered in grass blanketed with dandelions and its façade faced in "bricks" of turf. According to Susaeta, who designed the place, the goal was to make it largely disappear into the landscape, and for the most part that is the effect. Whether you enjoy the underground feeling when in residence is a matter of taste. The dominant decorative features inside are concrete (concrete walls patterned in two textures, concrete bed platforms and modular night tables) and metal (modern wrought-iron chairs, steel-and-glass tables), softened here and there by a sheepskin throw rug or a driftwood lamp. Some will find the smallish rooms, reached via long, dark, curving hallways, a lesson in Flintstones chic; others might call them a new-wave cellblock. Even those in the latter group will appreciate the large window facing the water in both the bedroom and bath (all rooms have good views, but those closest to the central hall of the property have slightly better ones).
Much less of a full-scale hotel than Remota, Altiplánico offers a set daily menu (the food is just okay, and few people avail themselves of it, given the better offerings in town), and you're on your own for excursions. Most guests here are traveling as part of a group and therefore have their days planned for them; the minuscule but friendly staff can point you toward the many operators in Puerto Natales if you want guidance. This being Patagonia, you'll be unlikely to go wrong.

Last summer I saw a lot of butterfly weed and columbine maturing and stopped and asked if I could collect some seeds. I was told to help myself, as the beds would be cleaned up later and things would be composted.
I had some new papers in my vehicle and grabbed lots and lots of the seeds (thinking trading/sharing here) and just left them lay (seeds and pods) on the papers. I pulled away, and then saw there were bugs crawling all over the place in the passenger seat. I just hoped (and prayed a bit) that they would stay on the paper, or just anyplace away from me. Another time, I was surfin the net and kept hearing something...something that sounded like a mouse. Upon immediate investigation, I found there were bugs in the Hardy Hibiscus seeds. They got pitched. Where have you found bugs? Oh...and a question. I harvested some hardy hibiscus last fall. I came home and put them in the freezer. If I remove them now, will they likely stay bug free? Sue |

Well, not sure if you know, but we are total animal lovers and believe in leaving insects that are good for the garden , in the garden. I just don't like to kill anything unless it's coming after me or harmful to my plants. I know that we have a line of black widow spider nests underneath a row of stones by one of my beds, so I avoid that stone 'wall'. The regular Orb Weaver ( that big yellow and black garden spider ?). We actually counted, which means we probably missed some, 82 big females on webs in my gardens this year. We called the Local University ,and the Zoo , which was having a year of a big bug display. NObody wanted any of them. So I left them there, but more than once , forgot and while weeding would come face to face with a big momma. Even way above my front door, one layed three giant egg sacs. I thought they only layed one ? But it was on Halloween that we noticed the last girl die. It was actually kind of sad after watching them all year. I have a picture, I'll see if I can post it. We had this fake pumpkin lit up, that looked creepy enough, and the spider came down her web one last time then died on that pumpkin. Now...I have at LEAST 82 big egg sacs in my garden. We've been going around snipping them off the twigs they are on, and have put them in a big outdoor container. I just don't want to think of how many baby spider X's 82 ( sacs), that we'll have . |
well last year fair time in our tiny town, it was the week befor, and clean up time, so i'm out by the electric lines, pulling the weeds/tall grass. i liked to garden w/o gloves. so i was pulling the tall grass at this moment, and i felt some huge fangs of steel go into my finger, i look down and its a huge scare the he** out of you brown spider, not knowing my spiders, i ask my hubby what it is, he don't know so we ask my neighbor, he thinks it sa wolf spider, my hand swolled up, the ONLY thing i can think of to do is douse it with vinegar and tape a gauze pad full of vinegar to it, the darn thing went down in a matter of 5 min. and it just had the fang marks there. that was my bug/insect story. LOL YUCK!!! LOL i don't kill them only mice, mostly cuz they are very gross and they leave droppings everywhere, talla is highly allergic to them for some reason. so i put up all kinds of things to keep them away, like lavender and mints and stuff but on the off chance they do come in, i have one kinda poison i use now. since i've used the other stuff to keep them away i've not had to worry. she's not sneezed. YAY!!!! :')) |

Smokeymist, you'll probably be ok. We had a summer a few back where we had lots of "Charlottes" in our garden. Evidently, their babies moved elsewhere when the eggs hatched. We've not had a summer like that one since. I kinda miss them. |

I can finally reply to this! :) My 'n' and 'b' keys were broken and it was impossible to post anything! :O....lol... OK,I have had these creepy little beetles borrow out of Hardy Hibiscus and Mallow seeds a couple days after receiving them. They cut out a perfect circle and climb out of the seed! The first time I noticed them it was the Mallow,I put those seeds in the freezer for a few days and thought for sure they would be dead! Well,after an hour or two of room temps they started moving around again! So I put them back in the freezer,after squishing the live ones,and left them there for a couple weeks. After this I didnt see anymore in with the Mallow,but only had a few usable seeds left after this. Then when the first Hardy Hibiscus came that had them, I knew to leave them in the freezer for a couple weeks instead of days and it worked! :) I received about 3 or 4 trades of Hardy Hibiscus with these bugs,it seems they like the malvacea family! They are creepy and I dont like them! I do not have a problem with most bugs,very few really give me the creeps,but these ones for some reason make my skin crawl! So if you trade for these types of seeds,watch out for them,I can only imagine when they were done with the seeds in that pack, they would move on to the next and before long destroy many seeds! If you see a little round disc and a nice round hole in any of your seeds,stick them in the freezer! |
ohhh my my loquat seeds have all these holes in them. i'm soooo unhappy about this only one sank. the rest floated. but i planted all of them anyhows!! we all know what happend to my castor beans when they all floated!! they all grew anyhow!! LOL in the middle of winter. so i no longer follow that rule!! LOL :')) |
This past year, I saved seeds from my miniature Hollyhock, lots of them!, so I had the seed heads in a small lunch bag size paper bag. Imagine my horror a few weeks later when I go to take the seeds out and there are tons of bugs having a party in the bag! I didn't know about the Hollyhock weevil! I had to put the bag in freezer to kill them.(So Sue, yes putting them in the freezer does solve the problem.) Then I had to go through all the seeds removing the bad ones. That took forever! Remy |

I love spiders and never kill them, even when they decide to come inside. I really don't kill anything to speak of and use beneficial insects for pest control. The only seed that I have a bug problem with is the hardy hibiscus. The seeds can look perfect and unblemished when collected but it never fails. Sometime after they've dried and been packed I'll find a perfect circular hole in the seed and a tiny weevil looking bug crawling around. I always keep them for a few weeks before I'll send them out for trades. I'd hate to send someone a package of weevils. lol Karyn |
I hope none of those hibiscus bugs came from me? I apoligize if they were, they were in the house a pretty long time.... |
I hit submit to fast. I once picked a thing off of a rose bush, the rosehip had a big "thing" attached to it and I had no idea what it was. Anyway, I busted the "thing" open and it was full of "larvae?" or "caterpillars?" or"grubs?" or just plain old creepy crawlies, they were sleeping"hibernating?", luckily and I just threw the hole thing out and ran away. The "thing" was almost like that spray foam you use to fill in cracks and then it dries up and seals them. I wonder what they were, but, I was too creeped out to save it to ask anybody. |

Doris, that foamy thing could have been a praying mantis egg case. I destroyed one before looking it up and felt bad afterward! Marcia |
Here is a link that might be useful: egg case
Would there be more than one mantis in an egg case? There were a good half a dozen creepy crawly buggy things in this one. Im googling, I dont want it to be praying mantis sextuplets cuz....... well you know. |
Ewwww...I was barehandedly pulling leaves back from a hibiscus, looking for some life in it, and I grabbed ahold of Mr Lizard. I know they are harmless, and I would never harm one, but they really creep me out...that and toads if I accidentally grab one of those. Woohoo! I found a praying Mantis egg case yesterday. I'm thinking I will relocate it out in the veggie garden somewhere where it won't get damaged. A search says there are between 100-400 in each case. They sure are cute little critters. Sue |

Not a seed/bug story but this is kind of funny. My grandfather had a large farm and one time out in the woods picking blackberries, I came face to face with one of those HUGE yellow and black orb weaver spiders. I *never* saw it until my face hit the web and I started screaming to get it off my head. Everyone back at the house said they could hear me screaming but mom said she could tell the difference between a "spider scream" and a "getting-murdered-in-the-woods-by-an-axe-murderer" scream or a "getting-attacked-and-eaten-by-a-wild-animal" scream so nobody was too worried. LOL!! |
- Posted by agirlsgirl 5-6 PA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 28, 08 at 12:24
LOL...that is terrible that they knew you were getting mauled by a spider and didnt run to your rescue...lol..I know what your Mom means I can tell the difference in my kids screams too! :) |
hmmm...that is interesting that your Mom knew the difference. I 'think' all of my Spider, snake, and chipmunk up the pants leg screams sound the same...at least they do to me and probably the neighbors (who are up wind and not very close) |
- Posted by agirlsgirl 5-6 PA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 28, 08 at 14:26

I hate to start my first official blog post on a sour note, but I feel I must. Of course, I am talking about the actions of one James Holmes who late last Thursday evening shot up a Colorado movie theater, leaving 12 dead and 58 injured during the midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." In turn, it has become one of the worst shootings in the history of the United States. While I was not there and I do not know any of the victims, my heart goes out to them as no one should have to fall victim to gunfire, let alone a place of escapism, i.e. a movie theater. Before you think this is another retelling of said tragedy from last week, it is not. Personally, I think much like every other tragedy in this country, the media seems to be rehashing the same information over and over. I do not want to do that, nor do I feel it is my place to talk in-depth about this tragedy.
What I do want to talk about is overreaction. More specifically, the overreaction of Hollywood. Obviously this James Holmes was seriously messed up in the head. Anyone who thinks he did this because of the Joker's character in the previous "The Dark Knight" or any other Batman film or cartoon for that matter, needs their head examined. If it wasn't The Joker he modeled his attack after, it would have been someone else, whether fictitious or a past serial killer. Bottom line, this man was going to do this regardless.
What pissed me off the other day when I read about it is that Hollywood has already begun censoring itself. The censoring in question is that of the trailer for the upcoming film "Gangster Squad" — shown prior to "The Dark Knight Rises" was pulled after the tragedy. In the trailer, there is a scene of violence where several men fire weapons from behind a movie screen at the audience. I haven't seen the trailer, just as I haven't seen "The Dark Knight Rises" yet; however, even I'll admit that is an insane coincidence. Having said that, I can understand maybe omitting the trailer for a couple of weeks or so (especially during screenings of "The Dark Knight Rises"), but it gets worse.
This morning Warner Brothers announced that not only is the trailer for "Gangster Squad" being scrapped, but Warner Brothers has decided to yank the September release date, have scheduled a reshoot of the aforementioned scene and in turn, the film is now scheduled for a January 2013 release. I've got a number of pet peeves, but there aren't many things that bother me more than censorship. I'm not heartless. This was a terrible tragedy. However, there is no need to overreact. First off, the film has nothing…nothing…to do with the Colorado tragedy. Secondly, "Gangster Squad" is a period piece based on the battle between mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) and the LA police. This means it is based upon a true story, done for historical effect and as such, the scene in question was decided on for historical and artistic impact. Now, God knows what they're going to do in the reshoot. Most likely though, it won't have the impact that the original scene had. Bottom line here is that no one was going to see that scene and think, huh, that reminds me of the Colorado massacre. It also was never going to make people shoot up theaters across North America. It just wasn't going to happen. Sometimes I wonder if Hollywood thinks American audiences are too dumb and they don't realize that such a scene is part of a movie, not reality.
What sucks from an artistic standpoint is this decision is going to seriously hurt the film. Not only was there a ton of money put into the film that now will be increased dramatically by the reshoot, but it also was a film to be in Oscar contention. January typically is a month of no man's land for films. It is where all the films the studios have on their hands they know suck but have to release at some point, will release. This is done because December is such a heavy movie month that moviegoers tend to tone down their treks to movie theaters the next few months. So, not only is "Gangster Squad" going to lose money, it's also going to have an uphill battle in terms of getting itself in Oscar contention the following year.
Now, I'm not saying the above paragraph is more important than the people losing their lives. It isn't, but like I've beaten over the head, the average person wouldn't have cared about this film coming out so close after this tragedy. People are smart. They know the film had nothing to do with the tragedy. They know it was done in a historical context based on the '40s and '50s, not 2012. Bottom line here is this move was completely unnecessary, and it's a shame that in this day and age, we are this sensitive about artistic expression that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
What worries me the most from this is that this may just be the beginning of the overreaction. The same thing happened almost 11 years ago after 9/11. Once that tragedy struck, the film industry was hit hard and as a result, they overreacted. They pulled films with excessive violence from release. They pulled violent trailers for upcoming films. Some films that were set to start production, halted, some of which never to be completed. The most ridiculous thing they did though was re-edit films that displayed the World Trade Center. Some films mind you, that didn't have a moment of violence in them, i.e. "Serendipity."
I just hope we don't have to go through a Hollywood censorship period again. We are a smart people and we deserve to be treated as such. Most importantly though, the artists who have created films within the last year or so scheduled for release, shouldn't be punished because of this heinous act period.
