The Card
Checking out the card for the first time, we can clearly see that it's part of the iChill series with the massive cooler on the front. We can see there's a fair bit going on with it. Instead of the standard 80mm fans that most coolers use, the Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Pro unit actually consists of two 92mm ones.
Behind the two fans we can see a number of fins and across the top we have a couple of heat pipes that protrude from the core itself into all the fins. We can also see that Inno3D has placed their logo and the iChill one on the middle of both fans, while we see the Arctic Cooling one and the fan model in the middle of the cooler.
Having a look around the card there isn't anything that we haven't seen before. Towards the back of the card underneath the cooler we can see a single 6-Pin PCI-E connector. Closer to the front of the card we have two SLI connectors, but using them might be a bit of a problem due to the massive cooler on the card.
The I/O department doesn't hold any surprises. We've got a single TV-Out port along with two Dual-Link DVI connectors. We can see that like a lot of other Inno3D cards the company has opted for the gold setup which looks a bit classier. Mind you, once the card is in your system the chances that you'll see it are pretty slim.
Inno3D has come out and overclocked the card which is always a nice bonus. We can see the core has been bumped from the stock 740MHz to 760MHz. With that said, the shader is still at the default 1836MHz clock.
Also moved is the memory. We've gone from the stock 2000MHz DDR clock to a very impressive 2240MHz DDR clock.

As flu season approaches, doctors are offering a new vaccination that will cover four different strains of flu.
However, only 30 million of the four strain vaccinations will be available. The remaining 140 million vaccinations will only cover three types of flu.
Scientists report they have also found a common strain in all flu viruses.
British researchers have discovered a cell called CD8 T in healthy immune systems, which is thought to fight of flu viruses, according to a report from CBS News.
That discovery could help in creating a universal flu vaccine in the next five years.

Anyone grow this one? I grow orchids and many other tropicals indoors, and would like to try a Hibiscus. I want as small a growing a plant as possible, with variegation. Any suggestions for a newbie? Do Hibiscus do well indoors year round? I live in the S. Calif. high desert, so have lots of sun in my west window where it'll be. Thanks!

Hi Randi, Try Snow Queen, with Cream and green foliage, also known as Snowflake and Cooperi. Roseflake is its sister with matching red/purple/cream foliage. Neither is a great bloomer, so put them in lower light, I'd expect not too many blooms. Both may lose some variegation in low light. Both need fresh air from breezeways and must have foliage dust washed off when built up. Get yourself 2 of each or get cuttings going, so that as the plants inside show lack of vigour, you can swap them over with others from outside. Doing this would also allow for more buds/blooms to form so that when you bring inside, you'd have blooms for a while at least. Good luck. Regards, Brian Kerr. |

I've been using my TG XLS for about 30 minutes a day four days a week for about 6 months. I've seen a big diffference in my body shape and have lost 25 pounds. The weight lose is because of nutrician changes and the better shape is from the TG. I use my own workout now (not the DVD) and changes to the equipment add only about 30 seconds to my workout. Using free weights in the past have always left me with a sore back, but this hasn't becaome a problem on my TG. This is the first exercise program I've ever been able to stick with this long and I see myself sticking with this for years to come. It can provide an easy or hard workout, it's up to you. As my strength increases, I add weights as I work myself up to the next level. For me, the weight bar and dip attachments are a necessary accessory.

Ok, this is the real deal from a guy who has used the bowflex and freeweights and machines. I bought the Totalgym from EFi and not the informercial. I have owned the Bowflex and gave it several months to actually try it out and give it a fair opinion. first of all , the feel is horrible and springy, I never did get used to it. Pressing exercises are ok, pulling feel funny to me. I am 46 now and freewieghts are not really the main workout anymore due to the pain in my joints and shoulder, I do not have that problem with the Totalgym. I agree that it is not for the serious bodybuilder , but you can build a nice fit body and put on some muscle thats for sure, actually I look better now them when I was using free wieghts. the machine is super smooth and the quality is top notch. the amount of exercises are many and I never bore of it.I do pushups and other bodywieght stuff as well but the totalgym is my main machine. Customer service is top notch. very nice people. do not buy from the informercial . the EFi company puts out a superior machine and costs less as well. the fact that it doesnt have a back rest is done on purpose. You use your core on most execises and you work it hard ,this machine is more versitile that any machine on the market. you can add weights if you want for squats and other things,I dont really, I just want to be healthy and look fit and look more like an athelete than a bodybuilder,although I think you can build a bodybuilders physique if you work out right and eat well. I recomend thid machine highly. Check out the EFi website and see what is what,.. the complaints I read about are about the store bought machines that do not do justice to the real deal. No i do not work for Total gym, I just apreciate what it does for me. Dave

I bought this with all the extras. I can say is make sure you have a lot of room it is very long,it is heavy for a woman to move so you will probably leave it out or in the closet, another concern about the product was that I could not get a good routine going to keep me heart beat up brcause I was constantly changing cords,bars etc. It seems like I did more changing into ankle straps,pull up bars,heights on the machine from arms to legs than I did actually work out! I ended up selling it and go a stationary bike and just work out with my weights the old fashioned way! I would not recommend this to someone who wants a nice fluent workout. They don't show you on the infomercials actually changing the machine and moving it on carpet. They just show the moves which are fine once your there!

I purchased a used model 2000, which was the first TV infomercial model. I owned it for about 2 years and had to sell it when I moved across the country. This model first sold for around $400 and then went up to perhaps $600. It worked well for me. You should be aware that 3 different companies make and sell many different models. The 2nd infomercial model was the 3000 and sold for around $700 or $800 and was around $1000 before the next model (XL perhaps) replaced it. Many other model numbers and model names (1000, Pro, etc., etc.) are much cheaper units that typically have retailed for around $225 to $300 in sporting goods stores. There have also been expensive models sold by the main company...models 1100, 1400, 11000, 14000...and others. Many of these do not fold up, but they are of high quality. Make sure you don't pay a lot of money for a cheap model. The amount they want for their current TV unit is rediculous. Try to find a used one.

i just got my total gym xl last week and i have to say i love the way it make me feel. I'm not big on exercise but know it a must. I wake up everyday can't waiting to use it, But like i said i only had it for a week so time will tell i mainly brought it to lose weight, so we shall see. The only thing they lied about was it being a space saver. this is not true! it heavy as well, but other then that con it a nice piece of machine.

I have used a TG for decades. I have the heavy duty model originally manufactured by West Bend. It is big and heavy and best suited for a professional gym or serious home gym - which I have. I've tried some of the lower end TG's and the rolling action is poor and the units feel flimsy. Spend the money for one of the higher end models. You can find them at auction sites and used equipment stores. This is a very good piece of excercise equipment you can use for life.

Hello Team: I have owned the above model for nearly 4 years. I must say that it is very durable, & well built. I purchased that model for the stability and & live loads that is would support (me & additional weight). This machine is great, the website exercise pictures are great. I get a good work out every time. I do find it a little challanging to do good trianing on the back of my knees. Over all, it works. I am looking for body tone, not bulk. The exercises on this machine apply to real life body movement, so your total body improves faster compared isolated exercises. Lastly, but not least the TG Group has been on the for front for many years w/ their exercise machine concept. I now see different cable varation machines in health clubs more & more. Simple put; when i use my Total Gym, i feel better.

I've used a Total Gym 1000 for four years. I had chipped my humerus and had a slight tear on my rotator cuff from a fall. The therapy center I went to had several Total Gym's for use in range-of-motion exercices, and in that application they work quite. The "weight" applied to each exercise is actually dependant on the angle of the bench and your own body weight. It helps with stretching muscles, range of motion and muscle toning. Don't count on it for cardio or bulking up. All in all, this is a well-designed machine that serves the purposes stated above. The cons are that it does get pretty long when it's folded out, you can pinch your fingers foldling it if you're not careful (this will only happen once, trust me), and it's a bit awkward to move around. All in all, a decent unit. No rip-offs here.

I was excited to use the total gym for some of the pilates workouts, but it was a bit difficult to get enough resistance for many of my pilates moves. Since there are no springs, you have to add incline in order to get more resistance.

6 Nov 2006 - Linda of Texas, USA writes:
Just want to warn people that the machine is really, really long. It can be very hard to find a place to use it, especially if you want to keep it set up somewhere. And to fold it up, you have to lay it completely flat first, which makes it even longer than it is when you use it. Other than that, I liked it fine and I had the rock, bottom cheapest version. The first model they sold for home use.

I am a 59 year old female who has had a bad back since my 30's. I had tried many exercise tapes and equipment. I finally bought a Total Gym approxiamtely 7 years ago. I am still using it today and am amazed at the number of exercies I can do safely. The one thing I wanted everyone to know Their Customer Service Is Excellent. I use mine about 3 times a week. The commercial says life time warranty, but I have heard that before. I had a small problem on the back of the stand. I called and they said it was not fixable and were sending me a new Total Gym. I could not beleive it. I was a little worried as to what I might get as there are several types out there. I received it in just over a week and was so surprised. It was even nicer than my original. I cannot say enough about this product.

Any help out there.

The total gym is a good machine to own. But if your like me and don't like complications just to work out this machine is not for you. The changing of cables and hand grips and levels double the time of your workout. I've tried several times to get the pattern down but for the last year my total gym has sat used infrequently because I don't want the hassle.

We found a yard sale TG 1000 for $15. It is set up in our family room. We often workout while watching TV. Being mildly diabetic, exercise is essential to maintaining general health. The TG is helpful. I can use it late at night without disturbing the rest of the household. A reasonable workout can be done in 15-30 minutes. Working fast circuits can work up a sweat and stress muscles enough to maintain and improve tone. I like the low joint impact aspect. Most knee and shoulder stresses are eliminated with TG routines. I like the creative versatility inherent in the exercises. Emphasis is on upper body tone and the lower body exercises are lacking. A couple of adjustable dumbells are helpful. This bottom line model is sturdy enough, but is prone to roller and cable wear. [] ([] Total Gym Parts) sells improved parts kits. Within it's limits, the TG lives up to most of the TV hype.

I have wanted a TG for a long time, Well I realy lucked out. I was in a used sports store and they had a 11000 that looked new, with all the extra atachments for $280.00. I talked the young sales man into giving it to me for $224.00. I went online and saw that it sold in 01 for $1200.00. What a great deal I got on a incredable mecheine. I have only using it about a week now. It fun and it feals great to use. I would like to buy the workout dvd. I have a few joint problems so I will go slow to get use to the motions. I think that I will be able to use the TG with no problems with my joints. As the saying goes, Good things come to those who wait.

I bought the Total Gym approximately 7 years ago. I paid over $600.00. I ordered it off of of T.V. from a commercial with Chuck Norris on it that offered optional monthly credit card payments. About two months later, I saw it in a department store for about $250.00. More important, I still use mine today. It is an excellent unit for working out and tuning your muscles. I am worried that my cables are old and that they may pop someday. The Total Gym was worth every bit of my six hundred plus dollars. If you can get it for under $180.00, go for it!

I have had my total gym for 4 years now. It lives up to its name. I use it 6 days a week, I am 39 years old, and with proper nutrition and using the total gym I have developed a lean muscular body. I have had to replace the cables twice in 4 years. I have found a web site that offers a superior quality. Like with any equipment if you follow the maintenance advice in the owners manual, this machine will last for years. The work outs are great any one that doubts this machine, come on over to my house and work out with me and I will make you a believer.

To enable us to understand the possible mechanisms leading to "chronic prostatitis" we have to know some basic facts about the anatomy and physiology of the prostate.
The prostate is a gland situated underneath the bladder
(the bladder neck) and is perforated by the first portion of
the urethra. The 2 ejaculatory ducts enter the upper part of
the prostate from behind, travel through the gland and open into the urethra on
a small protuberance (3-4 mm) of the urethral mucosa called the
verumontanum ("veru").
The veru is
very critical because of the convergence of several other structures:
Other important anatomical structures, mostly neglected in the literature, are the seminal vesicles (SV). These glands reside on the backside of the lower part of the bladder, their body (about 5-8 cm long, .6-1 cm wide) lies alongside the deferent duct (which carries the sperm cells from the testis to the urethra) and empties into this duct before the deferent duct enters the prostate to become the ejaculatory duct. The SVs are structurally hollow organs comparable to the gallbladder, but with multiple small saccular compartments (looking almost like a grape) interconnected with each-other. The wall of the SVs is composed of an internal cellular lining (glandular cells) which produces a fluid necessary for the extracorporeal survival of the sperm cells. This fluid, together with the fluid from the prostatic acini, constitutes a major part of the volume of the spermatic fluid; only a small part comes from the testicles. The outside muscular shell of the SVs contracts and expells the secretion at orgasm.
In summary, in a minute spot of the prostatic urethra around the veru, covering an area not larger then 1 square cm (about 1/6 square inch) we find all the openings where the spermatic secretion has to pass through. One can immagine that a slight change (focal inflammation with edema, calcifications, microscars after inflammatory disease etc) can distort, compress, obstruct (partially or completely, temporarily or definitively) those tiny openings creating all the conditions necessary for disease in one, few or many prostatic glandular subunits or the seminal tract. Of course, if passage through one or several of these ducts is not completely restored (e g due to inadequate treatment of an acute exacerbation of prostatitis, permanent changes like calcified deposits of detritus or scars) we'll have to expect chronification of the inflammatory process (not always symptomatic) with acutisation from time to time. The close relationship of the SVs and the prostate to the bladder neck and the trigone (an area in the bladder floor adjacent to the bladder neck), the most sensitive parts of the bladder with a dense concentration of sensory nerve endings, explain the occurrence of urgent desire to void frequently associated with irritative conditions in the prostate/SV. In conclusion, an comprehensive appreciation of the anatomical structures and their relationship is necessary for the understanding of the different syndromes that run under the term of "chonic prostatitis", instead of a view limited to the prostate only.

Have you tried "startx"?
Note: You may have to create a .xinitrc file.
Just use your fav text editor to do this. After creating the .xinitrc file in your users home directory, put one line in there.
exec startkde

Governance and Social Responsibility : Reaching Out, Giving Back
March 2009
By Liz Warren-Pederson
Recent MBA grads reflect on balancing volunteerism with classes
Finding time for community outreach and student leadership in the middle of a busy MBA curriculum can be tough, but it can be done. Two 2008 graduates — Leeann Christensen and Courtney Martin — were recognized with Eller MBA awards for their contributions to the community. Both have now relocated to Portland, Ore., for positions with Intel.
Leeann Christensen, now a consolidation analyst, was awarded the Rogers Award in Community Service, established by first MBA class alumnus Tom Rogers (MBA '53) to recognize an MBA student who exemplifies volunteerism. Christensen came to the Eller MBA program from Expedia.com, which sponsored company-wide volunteer days. "I always thought it was a good way to stay involved in the community," she says, "So when I moved to Tucson, I registered with VolunteerMatch.org and was matched with Aviva Children's Services as a life book writer."
The project was fun but time-consuming, so once the MBA program got underway, Christensen developed time management strategies so she could continue to give back. "I decided that single-day projects would be better," she says. "One of the first things I organized at Eller was a volunteer day at Saguaro National Park." Christensen contacted the park and set up a day for MBAs to clear buffelgrass, a non-native brush species. "I found that I was able to do more as the semester was starting or winding down," she says. Christensen also coordinated an adopt-a-family effort over the holiday break and gathered a team to participate in the Arthritis Foundation's Run for the Cure, both through the MBA Student Association.
The association also provided a jumping-off point for Courtney Martin's engagement with the MBA community, for which she was awarded the Ray H. Johnson Award in Leadership, established by Johnson and colleagues at PricewaterhouseCoopers to recognize individuals whose personal and professional leadership qualities have made a substantial difference at the College.
"The Eller course load can be extremely demanding at times, so it was often very difficult to balance coursework with extracurricular activities," Martin says. "But it was a priority for me, because it enhanced my overall experience in the program." While at Eller, Martin was an active participant in the UA Peace Corps Fellows Program, and worked with community organizations including Catholic Relief Services and House of Neighborly Service.
While at Eller, Martin also completed the McGuire Entrepreneurship Program, in which she and her team created a venture around the concept of urban agriculture. "As a team I feel we met this challenge with enthusiasm and creativity to fully articulate how our concept can enhance offerings in the marketplace, while simultaneously addressing concerns about resource conservation," she says.
"Within my class, there were so many students that really went above and beyond in leadership roles to create a better learning, professional, and social environment for everyone," Martin continues. "I'm proud of the opportunity I had to work with such a diverse student body and develop personal and professional relationships with my colleagues."

MoreThe South Shore is on the Atlantic side of the narrow Nova Scotia peninsula; the Annapolis Valley is on the Bay of Fundy side. Although they're less than an hour apart by car, the two seem like different worlds. The former, with its rocky coast, island-dotted bays, and historic fishing villages, has launched 1,000 ships—and 1,000 postcards. The latter is most notable for
its fertile farmlands, vineyards, and orchards. Highway 103, Highway 3, and various secondary roads form the province's designated Lighthouse Route, which leads southwest from Halifax down the South Shore. It ends in Yarmouth, where the Evangeline Trail begins. This trail winds along St. Mary's Bay through a succession of Francophone communities collectively known as the Acadian Shore. The villages blend into one another for about 50 km (35 miles), each one, it seems, with its own wharf, fish plant, and Catholic church.
The verdant Annapolis Valley runs northeast, sheltered on both sides by the North and South mountains. Occasional roads over the South Mountain lead to the South Shore; short roads over the North Mountain lead to the Fundy Shore. Like the South Shore, the valley has numerous historic sites—some of Canada's oldest among them—and is punctuated by pleasant small towns with a generous supply of Victorian architecture.
The Acadians are descendants of French colonists who settled here in the 1600s. In 1755, they were expelled by the British for refusing to pledge allegiance to the crown. Some eluded capture and slowly crept back, many making new homes in New Brunswick and along this shore of Nova Scotia. Others, however, migrated south to another region held by France at the time: Louisiana, where their name was shortened to Cajun. (Say "Acadian" five times fast and the reason will be apparent!)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House is rushing to complete work on a nearly $100 billion-a-year farm bill that would make small cuts to food stamps and continue generous subsidies for the nation's farmers.
Conservative Republicans in the House helped defeat an earlier version of the bill last summer, and some of those lawmakers hoped to do so again Wednesday, saying the $800 million in annual cuts to food stamps isn't enough. But the final version has solid backing from the House GOP leadership, even though it makes smaller cuts to food stamps than they would have liked.
Leaders scheduled a quick Wednesday morning vote after the bill was introduced Monday, giving opponents little time to build opposition to the legislation, which is nearly 1,000 pages long.

I love being alone. Truly, I enjoy my own company, I have hobbies I can indulge in peace, and I find my mind clears so effortlessly when there's no additional banter being processed through it.
But, with two children, a husband, a job, several smaller employment endeavors and friendships, I don't think I've been alone in years. I can't even go to the bathroom alone without rapping on the door (think of Sheldon in "Big Bang Theory," "Mom" knock "Mom" knock "Mom") or the door cracking open four inches and a hand thrusting a telephone receiver in with the parting words, "Grammie's on the phone!"
When my kids were younger and before I remarried, most summer nights I would slip onto the porch with a glass of wine and a book after tucking the kids into bed, savoring the last hour before darkness. I was almost alone. Sometimes, sleepy heads would appear at the sliding door, rubbing their eyes and whining. But it was really, really close.
Since remarrying, I am never alone. My husband, God love him, enjoys being with me, whether it's at the market, the library, or shopping for a dress. He may not enjoy the actual activity — and he's virtually no help when it comes to choosing that dress (or shoes, or a book, or a gift for his mother) — but he likes being there.
When we first met, he accompanied me everywhere, which was new for me. My ex-husband was a chef, working from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. in local restaurants, so he was never around. And then I was on my own, although not ever alone — the law frowns on leaving small children home by themselves or sitting in the car while their mother searches for that perfect dress.
Suddenly, I had a sidekick at my daughter's soccer games, driving my eldest to violin lessons or grabbing fabric for Halloween costumes at the craft store. It was such a treat. I had someone grown up to people watch with at the mall, an equally biased fan to remark to about my daughter's fabulous heading of the ball in a game and an extra arm for a child or a bag (or two).
Over the years, we've developed similar hobbies. We love to go antiquing and hunting through yard sales together. We look for different things that appeal and move at our own pace, with my husband making two trips through each shop compared to my one, but we share in the thrill of the find and he happily helps fix, clean, adjust or simply place the item. We also love to garden and have our unofficially assigned roles there as well — we choose plants together, I find the spot and he gets them in the ground.
With this marriage, my retail therapy sessions were curbed. While he'll go along, there's only so many times I can look at his face as he leans on a clothing rack and says everything I show him would look good. He thinks I don't know that it's not true. Most would not look good on me. He just wants to leave!
So, even though I'm saving money at the mall, my alone time has been severely diminished. And, while there may be people who do not like to be alone, I am not one of them.
Research shows that we get the most work done during our precious alone time — think of writers and others who get up before dawn and work late into the night because no one is interrupting them. They can get into the "zone" and stop mind-shifting between tasks, conversations and the needs of others.
I have not been thus motivated, but I have come to value being alone. And it's no wonder. Dozens of books in the self-help section at the library or bookstore espouse the restorative nature of solitude. When alone, counselors say:
We are more creative
We can focus on healing our hearts and minds
We can see things more clearly without the excess noise of our lives
Perhaps most importantly, we are treated to a mini-vacation when we are alone. No arguments to mediate, no bills to juggle, no conversation to uphold. Two quiet nights at a conference recently and the new job my husband just started that includes nights (nights when the kids often have activities or work themselves) has given me the kind of detachment from regular life that I didn't even realize I needed.
Yes, I love being alone. Try it sometime.
Sue McDonald juggles marriage, motherhood, stepmotherhood, volunteer work and a full-time job.

Connacht have made a number of changes to their side to they face the Scarlets in the RaboDirect PRO12 on Friday.
Brett Wilkinson, Jason Harris Wright and skipper Nathan White make up the front-row trio.
Mick Kearney starts in the second-row alongside Connacht's highest capped player Michael Swift.

Kyle Tonetti will earn his first start for Connacht this season following a lengthy battle with injury. He will start at inside centre in a partnership with Eoin Griffin.
The half-back pairing of Dan Parks and Kieran Marmion remains.
The Scarlets, meanwhile, are strengthened with some returns from injury and are also able to welcome back Welsh international back-row Josh Turnbull.
Scarlets captain Rob McCusker returns to the pack after a sinus injury to lead his team and there are also returns to the pack for second row George Earle and young tighthead Samson Lee.
Young fly-half Owen Williams is rewarded with another start. He will partner scrum-half Aled Davies.

What they said...
Scarlets head coach Simon Easterby
"This is the first of four very important games for us in our play-off ambitions; there is still a lot of rugby left and teams right through the league table can easily ramp up points during these period so we have to make these next four games count," he told the club's official website.
"We have to set a platform ourselves in this next block of games and the players know full well what we need to achieve over the next few weeks.
"The good thing is that we have seen some real ambition from some of our emerging players in the past fortnight; they have really stepped up and that's a real positive for the Scarlets squad.
"It's a big game for us, Connacht are a well-coached side and are very competitive, they have some quality players in their ranks and experience in key positions like Dan Parks at 10; they can also can build continuity in their side at this period of the season, without losing so many internationals as us."

Susan "Sue" Storm Richards (also known as Invisible Girl and later, Invisible Woman) is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superheroine created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #1 in November 1961, and was the first female superhero created by Marvel in the Silver Age of Comics. Like the other founding members of the Fantastic Four, Sue received her powers after being exposed to a cosmic storm. Her primary power deals with light waves, allowing her to render herself and others invisible. However, she can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic energy which she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects. Sue plays a central role in the lives of her brother, her husband, her children (Franklin Richards and Val Richards), and her friend, Ben Grimm.

My 76 year old mother is shopping for a new mattress. She is a back and side sleeper with the aches and pains of a 76 year old. She tells me she wants a soft mattress, and that she is not interested in a latex topper.
What would you recommend.
On another note, I am going to buy a mattress for my wife and myself for a second home. We presently own a Stearns & Foster 'Ingrid' in the Luxury Plush, which we use with a 2' latex topper. For the new mattress, we would like to eliminate the latex topper, and instead purchase a pillow top to keep things simple.
Do you price match, and if so, would you match this price?http://www.discountmattressesonline.com/stearnsandfostercoreingridluxuryplusheuropillowtop
Thank you.
It's usually our competition doing the price matching. That website you attached is a company that sells returned mattresses, They aren't 1st quality and have no manufacturer's warranty...and, a 1st quality "Ingrid" model is only sold at Macy's.
If you'd been reading my blog, you'll know that "soft" mattresses break down quickly, which is the reason for recommending the soft latex topper on a mattress that won't easily lose its shape.
If you're willing to buy second hand mattresses, you don't really want or need my advice.

I'm a snowbird, living in western PA in summer, SW Florida in winter (inland and south of Sarasota). I have tried rooted brugs cuttings in the ground in Florida. They either are killed by the freezes we've had the last two winters, or never survive over the summer when we're not here to water (no auto watering system).
I brought some more cuttings with me to root and try one more time, Frosty Pink and Charles Grimaldi. Any hints for getting them to grow for me in the ground? Siting--sun, partial shade--or starting with larger plants, etc. Or should I just give up on them here, or grow them in pots here, too. I overwinter my two plants in the basement in PA but was hoping I could grow them in the ground here without lugging pots. Thanks for any suggestions.
Follow-Up Postings:
Since you are there over the winter you can cover them when frost is expected. Once they are well established they may die back to the ground after a frost but the roots should survive and the plants regrow. I doubt any newly planted brugs are going to survive the summer if you don't have someone watering them or an automatic watering system. |

Hi Marcia- Brugs need a lot of nurturing- ie- they have a high water and fertilizer need once established, if you want them to thrive and bloom. You can leave them in pots on a patio or porch for the summer, and bring them in over the winter, or they will die. They won't live in ground through your PA winters so you'll have to dig them up and bring them in. You can store them in a cool basement or garage so long as they don't freeze. Only water enough to keep them from shriveling. Lots of great info on this site if you do searches. Good luck! |

Hi, Kathy, I know I can't leave the plants outside in PA winters--I grow them in pots and bring them in to overwinter in the basement. I was just wondering how to grow them in the ground in Florida. As snowbirds, we're not in Florida in the summers, but we usually get lots of rain in the summertime. I have cuttings from my PA plants, so I'm going to start them in pots and plant them in the ground in the spring. It will be an experiment. If they don't survive the summer, that will be that! Thanks for your response. |
Marcia if you could get them established in FL while you are there they might be able to withstand neglect over the summer. Bring some rooted cuttings down with you and get them right in the ground. When do you head down and when do you come back? I'm surprised you aren't already there. Unfortunately FL has experienced some unusually cold temps over the past few years, even in So. FL. I spend time in West Palm and Boca every winter and recall several nights with temps at or near freezing. I remember a couple years ago weeks and weeks with way below normal temps. Everything looked like %$#@ down there and a lot was lost. Normally you get a day or two of cold temps in So FL but that was something like a month straight of cold. I couldn't believe I had to shop for winter cloths down there. Could you try a layer of mulch during the cold? Something thick but with a lot of air pockets, like crushed leaves? You could circle the brug with some chicken wire and fill in the space between the stem and wire with the leaves. It would also prevent the soil from drying out too quickly and break down and enrich the soil. Are there any year round residents near your house that you could pay to water the brugs once a week over the summer? Good luck. |
- Posted by marcia_pa5 PA5_FL9b S.SarasotaC (My Page) on Fri, Nov 11, 11 at 16:41
Thank you for the suggestions, Karyn. We are in Florida now but my cuttings are sitting in water to root. I will try to pot them up but plant them in the ground in the spring, February here. I can then mulch and water through the beginning of May. I think the brug I had planted this past spring got weedwacked by our terrible lawn service over the summer. They also weedwacked and damaged the bark on 4 or 5 small trees, leaving two citrus trees dead and the others declining. I'd like to weedwack those guys! |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 28, 11 at 16:49
Another problem I have found out myself and from others in different parts of FL is nematodes. They are hell on brugs, roses, and tomatoes and lots of other stuff. Make sure to add lots of compost and organic matter to your beds it will help with nematodes and to hold the water in our naturally sand soils. I only have a few beds that are good enough to keep my brugs in so far since I moved here. The very first year I didn't know better and when I dug up my brugs to overwinter some that had seed pods on them, I found very horrible root damage from nematodes. I had to reroot those brugs and start over. I keep many of mine in pots still because of them. |

Did astronauts really go to the Moon, or is it a hoax?
I've seen a segment on the news on how some people are believing the idea that we (U.S.) were never on the moon. Stating, pictures and video can be proven wrong by analyzers and scientists. What do you think or know about what's behind this dilemma?
Most scientists are surprised and appalled when they hear about this whole "Moon Hoax" notion. The idea seems to be spread by a few cranks and conspiracy theorists who (like most conspiracy theorists) have fixed on a strange idea and will not be convinced by any argument or any amount of evidence that they are wrong. And they sure don't mind making some money off of books, videos and television programs that claim we never went to the Moon.
To anyone who works in the field of planetary science, it is quite obvious that the Apollo astronauts did indeed walk on the Moon. We have rocks and soil samples from the Moon that have been analyzed by several independent laboratories--including labs in the former Soviet Union! It is unlikely that they were all tricked or bribed or threatened into silence. We have many images taken by the astronauts that have been analyzed and re-analyzed for their scientific content. If it's so obvious that these photos are faked, could all the scientists who examined these photographs be in on the conspiracy, or dupes of it?
Many people were exposed to the "moon hoax" idea when the Fox television network aired a program titled, "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" that presented the "moon hoax" very sympathetically, and did not offer scientists much time to refute the conspiracy theorist's claims.
Scientists are very upset about this program. It had a lot of scientific errors in it, of course, and because the program focused on the conspiracy theorist's point of view, the audience didn't get to hear the scientific explanations, so it seems to have convinced a lot of people, and caused a lot more to be doubtful. The program also implied that many, many scientists are either in on the conspiracy (that is, they were lying to their colleagues and the public, the opposite of what a good scientist does!), or have been tricked by it (that is, they were too stupid to tell an Arizona sound stage from the surface of the Moon!)
But the most shocking and awful thing about the program was that it suggested that, to prevent an astronaut from talking to the press about the "hoax," NASA deliberately set the fire in the Apollo 1 capsule that killed three American astronauts: Roger Chaffee, Ed White, and Gus Grissom.
This is a very upsetting accusation. The NASA engineers, astronauts and scientists working on the Apollo program were America's finest, all dedicated to the goal set by John F. Kennedy: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth." For the people who worked on the Apollo program, the safety and success of the mission were of the greatest importance, and Apollo 1 was a tragedy, a terrible accident that weighs on the soul of everyone who was connected to it.
To suggest that it was intentional is beneath contempt, and does a terrible disservice to the brave astronauts who died.
Our favorite page that addresses, point-for-point, the issues raised by the program is Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy page on the Moon hoax show. And here is a more technical page.

Newsarama on Rall's Year
November 24, 2009 by NBM
Filed under NBM Blog, New Releases, Reviews
While saying this may fall short of a must-read, Michael Lorah at Newsarama says:
"Rall does a fine job laying out the story, weaving his year of dangerous love with flashbacks that explain his predicament. It's an impressive balancing act, and he makes it work. The dialogue is convincing, and most of the women are presented as realized, if perhaps needy, young ladies.
If you're a fan of comic memoirs, yet maybe a little sick of socially inept, nebbish autobio, Rall provides an effective antidote. "

Mayday! Mayday! Fox's 'Daredevil' Reboot and David Cronenberg's 'Eastern Promises 2' Are Both Dead in the Water
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentToday is a sad day for fans of manly movies about manly things, as it turns out two very different but very promising-sounding gritty crime movies have been put on the shelf. First up is Fox's reboot of Marvel's Daredevil character. Remember how Fox only has until October 10 to get a new Daredevil movie shooting before they lose the rights back to Marvel? The story is that they have a script that they like, which adapts Frank Miller's fairly dark "Born Again" storyline from the comics, and they want Joe Carnahan to direct it, but they're not really sure if they can get things developed before time runs out. Rumor had it that Marvel was willing to do some dealing to give Fox the time extension they would need to make the movie possible, but a new development is making it look like Fox refused to play ball and are likely to let the rights to the character lapse. The bad news comes from Joe Carnahan himself, who recently took to his Twitter account (as spied by ComingSoon) to tell his fans, "Think my idea for a certain retro, red-suited, Serpico-styled superhero went up in smoke today kids." He then followed with, "We shall see. Time is NOT on anyone's side." The deal on the table was that Marvel wanted the rights back for a couple of its Fantastic Four characters in order to give Fox the extension that they need. Looks like the studio decided that maintaining their […]

Happy Memorial Day from our family to yours. While we are enjoying the day off, we also want to thank all of those who have served or are serving our country. Below is my Grandpa who was an instructor on aircraft such as the B-25 in the Air Corps from 1940 – 1945.
Today I want to offer a reminder to those who are serving our country (or their spouses at home who manage their points collecting) that they can request to have their credit card annual fees waived for active duty military members. This isn't one of the things the banks have to do under the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act, but it is something that a few go above and beyond to offer. One of my good friends, Katy, who helps out with this site has an active duty military husband. She has been successful in getting American Express to waive annual fees on their Amex cards such as the benefits rich American Express Platinum card that normally runs $450 per year. You can start this request by calling the number on the back of your Amex card(s).
American Express is not alone in waiving annual fees for active duty military members, but they do seem to have a pretty consistent and simple process. I have also heard success stories with Chase (via The Military Flyer), Barclays, and some other banks, though the success rates seem to be highest with Amex.
You can read more about the process of getting the fee waivers from American Express via fellow BoardingArea blogger The Military Flyer. Thanks again to all who serve, and I hope you are able to keep a little money in your pockets (and points in your accounts!) via this process.

I am currently in Afghanistan and find your blog to be very value-added! From all of the Marines and Sailors here at Camp Leatherneck, "Thank You".

Bill aimed at transparency in utilities dead in water
INDIANAPOLIS - A bill aimed at more transparency and accountability for water and other utilities is now dead in the water.
Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, drafted Senate Bill 548 in response to the Town of Mooresville taking over water service from Indiana American Water.
Some Mooresville residents and council members have been upset over rate increases, including a recent 17 percent increase for some homeowners.
Whitney Moorman, press secretary for Merritt, told Call 6 Investigators the bill failed to get a hearing in the Rules and Legislative Procedure committee.
"It's dead," said Moorman.
Mooresville town council voted on Christmas Eve to use eminent domain and file a lawsuit seeking to condemn and acquire Indiana American Water's Mooresville Operation.
Indiana American Water has filed a lawsuit of its own against the Town of Mooresville alleging they violated due process and the Indiana Access to Public Records Act.
Sen. Merritt told RTV6 earlier this month there has to be a better process for groups unhappy with their water utility's rates or service.
"I really believe there ought to be transparency," said Merritt. "I think there ought to be public discussion if there are service quality issues."
Merritt said although the town council held public meetings on the topic, many people did not know about the town's plans for taking over the water utility.
"It was through your coverage that I knew about this," said Merritt.
The legislation would have allowed public utilities to petition for rate changes every three months instead of once a year, said Merritt.
"I cannot see any transparency in this bill," wrote town council member Virginia Perry in an email to RTV6. "What I see is the ability to change the fees more often. Rather than once a year, now three times a year. This bill is not taxpayer friendly by any means."
The legislation also says a municipality can't buy a water company's property unless the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission finds the company repeatedly violated regulations, or if a review shows the utility failed to fix severe deficiencies.
"Water today is going to become more and more of an issue in the cost of it and the availability of it," said Merritt.
The legislation also requires a municipality considering acquisition of a utility to submit the question to the public.
"The water industry in Indiana, including our company, is supportive of this (bill)," wrote Joe Loughmiller, spokesperson for Indiana American Water, in an email to RTV6.

Turf Toe - What is it?
In 2000, Deion Sanders, one of the greatest multi sport athletes
of all time was forced to retire from the NFL due to injury. This
injury was not a knee or ankle injury, or even a back, head, or
neck injury that have ended so many great careers. This injury was
to his left great toe. He suffered through the 1999 season and
opted for surgical intervention to repair the damage but was unable
to overcome the complications and was forced to retire from an
injury commonly known as "turf toe".
It may be a surprise to some, but according to injury reports turf
toe injuries rank third after knee and ankle injuries among the
most common injuries causing loss of practice and game time among
NCAA athletes. Although knee and ankle injuries can be as much as
five times more prevalent than turf toe, turf toe can account for a
larger proportion of missed practices and games.
What is a turf toe? Turf toe is an umbrella term for injuries
affecting the joint that connects the great toe to the forefoot.
This joint is known as the Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. For our
purposes, turf toe will be defined as a sprain or rupture of the
ligament and capsule that stabilizes the MTP joint. This ligament
is generally sprained during weight bearing activity when the great
toe is hyperextended (bent backward toward the knee) beyond its
limitation. This mechanism of injury is relevant to sports because
pushing off to run, cut, jump, and land on the foot all involve
this hyperextension motion of the great toe. The purpose of this
paper is to inform the reader of the history of turf toe, the
mechanism of injury, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of
turf toe.
Prior to the development of Astroturf and other artificial playing
surfaces in the late 1960's, injuries to the MTP joint were
relatively scarce. As more and more venues began to use artificial
turf in the late 1960's and early 1970's, these injuries became
more common. Medical professionals began to draw a correlation
between MTP injuries and the use of artificial turf.
The original artificial surfaces consisted of a synthetic nylon
surface with a thin underpad that served to cushion the impact
between the synthetic surface and the concrete underneath. Over
time, these underpads began to get compacted and venues were left
with a virtual nylon-on-concrete surface. This surface had little
shock absorption and as a result contributed to injuries such as
severe bruises, stress fractures, and turf toe injuries.
As turf surfaces wore down, the athletes began to complain of poor
traction with traditional cleated shoes and instead chose a soft
soled tennis shoe type shoe. These soft soled shoes helped increase
traction and speed, but the soft sole could not help decrease the
great toe hyperextension like the traditional cleats had been able
to do. These soft soled shoes left the MTP joint vulnerable to
injury. The two predisposing factors for a turf toe injury are hard
surfaces (natural and artificial) and soft soled shoes that do not
protect the foot.
Turf toe injuries are most often seen in football, soccer,
basketball, rugby, and wrestling, but they can occur in all sports
where running, cutting, and jumping occur. These injuries were once
felt to be benign, but subsequent research shows that significant
disability can occur when the periarticular structures of the MTP
are injured. As many as 50% of athletes with turf toe injuries may
experience symptoms for up to five years following the
The most common mechanism of injury is hyperextending the big toe
while bearing the weight of the body. This occurs most often with
football offensive linemen pushing off to block, athletes stopping
and pushing off to cut, wrestlers sprawling to counter an
opponent's shot, and landing on the foot with the big toe
hyperextended. Most rigid cleated shoes can prevent toe
hyperextension, but soft soled shoes used on hard natural fields
and artificial surfaces do not provide the same injury
Once an athlete hyperextends the toe, they will complain of sharp
pain, decreased toe range of motion, and toe stiffness. They may
report hearing or feeling a "pop". The athlete may be tender over
the medial aspect or plantar aspect of the toe where the great toe
meets the forefoot (MTP joint). If the athlete is tender over the
joint and has increased pain with toe extension, and x-ray should
be obtained to rule out a fracture. The athlete should apply ice
and not bear weight until a fracture is ruled out. If no fracture
is present, an MRI may be obtained to gauge the extent of soft
tissue and ligamentous/capsular injury.
Turf toe injuries range in severity from grades 1-3. A grade 1
sprain is characterized by localized tenderness, mild swelling, and
mild pain with range of motion. A grade 2 sprain is characterized
by widespread pain and tenderness, moderate swelling and possible
bruising, and moderate pain with range of motion. A grade 3 sprain
is usually a complete rupture and is characterized by severe
tenderness and instability, moderate to severe swelling and
bruising, and severe pain with range of motion.
Once a diagnosis is made, the athlete is usually placed in a rigid
soled shoe or walking boot to prevent toe hyperextension and
facilitate healing. Depending on the severity of injury, the
athlete may be placed on crutches. Conservative treatment of the
turf toe will consist of ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and
possibly physical therapy. Acute physical therapy may consist of
ice, heat, ultrasound, high volt galvanic stimulation,
interferential stimulation, gentle range of motion activities, and
progression to strengthening and functional/sport activities. The
less severe the injury, the less time is required for healing. The
most severe cases may take up to six to eight weeks before an
athlete can return to play. In cases where severe pain, decreased
range of motion, or MTP joint instability persist, surgery may be
indicated to repair the torn ligament and capsule.
Once the athlete is cleared to return to athletic activity, there
are several preventative measures that can be taken. The first one
is taping the toe to prevent hyperextension. This method can be
uncomfortable for the athlete and may not provide the desired
support of the MTP joint. Secondly, the athlete may be referred to
an Orthotist to be fitted with an orthotic with a posting under the
head of the first metatarsal to allow the athlete more pain free
dorsiflexion (toe hyperextension). The orthotic has shown to be
effective and is more comfortable for the athlete. Perhaps the two
most effective ways to prevent re-injury are for the athlete to
place a steel spring insert or a rigid graphite or carbon fiber
shoe insert into more rigid athletic shoes. The combination of a
rigid insert and more rigid soled shoes provides the most MTP
support and is the most reliable and comfortable way to prevent
re-injury of a turf toe.
Once the athlete returns to competition, there are several
complications that are possible. The most common is persistent pain
with running and cutting. Lack of strength, with push off and joint
stiffness (hallux rigitus) are also very common complications. More
severe but more rare complications can be traumatic bunion
formation, arthrofibrosis, loose bodies in the MTP joint, and cock
up deformity. These complications may eventually require surgery to
alleviate the condition.
Although turf toes can become serious and debilitating injuries,
they generally have a good prognosis. With conservative and
surgically treated cases most athletes can return to their
preinjury level of function. If proper management of the injury and
patient compliance is achieved, there is a very high likelihood of
return to play without complications. To prove this point, Deion
Sanders, who was forced into retirement in part from complications
from a turf toe in 2000 is currently playing for the Baltimore
Ravens in the NFL.
Things to Remember Regarding Turf Toe
1. Turf toe can occur on hard
natural surfaces just as easily as on artificial surfaces.
2. Proper footwear is the key to preventing turf toe.
3. Proper diagnosis and management of the initial injury can lead
to a smoother treatment and better outcome with fewer
