After Mason was born, I went on a search for a UT onesie. Since we live in NC, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. All the ones on the Internet weren't our style and for sure, no stores in NC had UT onesies. Finally, I hit up ETSY and stumbled across the best site ever! Stephanie at The Green Goose Co sells iron-on graphics. Genius! I quickly ordered the UT collection, which contains 5 different iron-on transfers, and got to work. For less than $12, Mason now has 5 different onesies/t-shirts about UT. His dad is proud!
I am so glad I came across The Green Goose Co on etsy. I have already placed an order for various other iron-ons including some for Christmas. Normally you would see shirts like these for around $15-$25 on various sites. Target sells plain shirts for around $6 and then with the iron ons... you can make a couple of shirts for the price of one shirt from other companies. Talk about a steal of a deal. After Christmas, I will be back to show you all the other things I have made using these iron-ons. Some are Christmas gifts, so I don't want to ruin the surprise for certain people.
The UT Collection
Mason modeling is UT Football onesie.. clearly isn't interested in the game.

With this resent streatch of warm sunny weather, the snow has melted away from the south side of our house, and where the snow is gone, I'm see Daffodils pushing there way up! the daffodils in my other gardens are still buried under a thick snowcover. Has anyone else see any of their spring flowers coming up yet? Spring is not far away now it seems. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We just got several inches of snow, so everything is covered. Usually my irises are the first to start pushing up. Kat |

Nothing. Even if they were starting to stir they would be under three feet of snow. |

south side of the house....hyacinth & crocus peeking through. Rest all under snow, but hopefully not much longer. |
- Posted by athenainwi z4b/5 WI (My Page) on Sun, Mar 7, 10 at 19:52
The tulips in the front of my house are starting to poke out now that the snow has melted. I'll have crocuses soon when the snow over that part of the garden melts. |
After 3 days of rain and fog, the snow is gone in my yard and I have Tulips, Daffodils, Crocus and Hyacinth all up about 3", Daffs even have buds on the south side of the house. Just in digging around a little, it doesn't seem like we even had much frost in the ground. We had all that snow before it got cold, and that seems to have protecetd lots of things. Steve |
Daffs, hyacinths, and crocus are popping up on the north and east sides of our yard. I planted about 100 new bulbs last fall, so I am eager to see what comes up. Hopefully, the squirrels did not get too many. :) cheers, |
My crocus and hyacinth are poking up now that the snow has melted. They're both about an inch high. I'm hoping the voles didn't eat many of my bulbs. They sure made lots of dirt trails all over my front lawn. Yipee. |
My daffs and irises are really coming up now. The snow is all gone and we're finally getting some sun. This week looks like a good one too. Things should really start growing now. Kat |
Its all up.. I have a few mum sprigs poking their heads up. I even have leaves on my Bluebeard Spirea. I'm really hoping that we don't get another cold snap--- if we do I'm in trouble. lol |

I agree with you, Beck. My hellebores are blooming, and I even have a few columbine starting. I'd love to have an early spring (we deserve one!), but I've seen snow here in May, so I'm not optimistic. |
Well, it looks like our nice weather is coming to an end soon. Saturday we'll be getting the cold weather again and maybe snow. Looks like all of next week will be cold. : ( Well, it was nice while it lasted. Kat |

Best Indian Restaurant Denver 2003 - Maruti Narayan's
Readers' Choice: Little India
Although there's a lot of great Indian food in town, Maruti Narayan's takes top honors. From its humble beginnings as a coffee shop to its current incarnation as a sit-down lunch and dinner destination, Narayan's has consistently impressed Denver's Indian and Nepalese communities and wowed many adventurous local diners along the way. Never straying too far from classic preparations into territory that would be either too hot or inedibly bland, the kitchen puts out perfectly spiced potato and vegetable samosas, well-balanced curries and succulent meats. Like the baby bear's porridge, everything at Narayan's is just right. And the Nepalese additions to the menu -- especially the fun-to-pronounce meat momo -- are a tasty bonus.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Brownie!
Facts about Brownie
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Brownie's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Brownie was found stray and taken in by a lady who contacted us and then she continued to foster until just recently and now he is in foster with us. He is super high energy and a lot of fun and would do well with older children. He gets grumpy when he is tired lol.
Other Pets at One dog at a time
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brownie, a Phoenix Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Governor Edward G. Rendell said today that Pennsylvania's resources will support two early-stage technology growth companies in Chester and Cumberland counties and create and retain at least 106 jobs.
The $2 million in loan guarantees approved during today's Commonwealth Financing Authority meeting will provide the working capital needed for the companies to grow their operations in Pennsylvania.
"Throughout Pennsylvania, we have companies with the vision and ability to grow and succeed, but they lack the funding needed to make their ideas become a reality," said Governor Rendell. "Finding the capital to grow, and sustaining that growth, can be a challenge for any young business. For nearly four years now, we've been targeting our resources in companies that demonstrate potential in some of the most rapidly expanding industries.
"Our approach is working. As more and more firms open their doors and other companies choose to relocate to the commonwealth, we're creating new opportunities for our skilled men and women. Since January 2003, we've added 133,500 new jobs in the state. That's great news for Pennsylvania's economy."
The investments announced today were made through the Second Stage Loan Program, a vital part of Governor Rendell's $2.8 billion economic stimulus package. The program is a $50 million initiative designed to help two- to eight-year-old bioscience, advanced technology and manufacturing businesses secure loans from commercial lending institutions for working capital or capital improvement acquisitions. The Commonwealth Financing Authority administers the program.
Lending institutions must be approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority to ensure that lines of credit and other financing are available to other emerging companies. Once an application for enrollment has been approved, the CFA will execute a master loan guarantee agreement in favor of the bank. As the bank approves loans for eligible businesses, it will submit information about each business and the borrower to the CFA. If the loan meets the requirements, a loan guarantee certificate will be issued to the bank indicating that the Authority will guarantee a portion of the loan.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority is a seven-member board created to administer and fund projects from programs created by Governor Rendell's economic stimulus package. In addition to Second Stage, CFA oversees Business in Our Sites, First Industries Fund, New PA Venture Capital Investment, New Pennsylvania Venture Guarantee, Building PA, PennWorks, and the Tax Increment Financing Guarantee programs.
The following projects were approved by the CFA:
Chester County
The state is guaranteeing half of a $2 million revolving line of credit from Comerica Bank to Cerionx Inc., a company that specializes in pharmaceutical equipment cleaning technology, to supplement relocation costs from New Jersey to Chester County. This project will help create 51 new jobs at the new site.
Cumberland County

Tax breaks for TV drama production are to be introduced, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne announced during his budget speech today.
The video games, animation and "high-end" TV production industries are all to benefit from the new tax credits, which will be similar to the film tax credit. Osborne said that the film tax credit generated more than £1 billion of investment in film production in the UK in the last year.
Introducing the tax breaks for the TV industry, Osborne said: "Not only will this help stop premium British TV programmes like Birdsong being made abroad, it will also attract top international investors like Disney and HBO to make more of their premium shows in the UK. It will support our brilliant video games and animation industries too."
"Because we want to keep Wallace and Gromit exactly where they are," he added.
In response to the budget statement, Liberal Democrat and MP for Bristol West Stephen Williams commented on Twitter: "Budget 2012 gives tax breaks to the animation industry, making my campaign to keep Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman in Bristol a success."
Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat culture spokesman Don Foster tweeted: "Some great victories for the Creative Industries and the Lib Dems in Budget 2012."

Customer: "I'm looking at my statement and there isn't one."
Me: "It's about half way down on the right hand side and begins with '14′ dash."
Customer: "There isn't one. I can see where it says plan type, but that's it."

Paul Winter Brings World Music to NYC with
The crowd at St. John the Divine on New York's Upper West Side buzzed in anticipation. A large white screen hovering above 12 empty chairs on a low-rise stage displayed great promise, and despite the setting's cathedral ceilings and gargantuan dimensions, it felt intimate, like you and only a few (hundred) others were about to learn a great musical secret.
As the lights dimmed, a horn blasted from somewhere. Slowly, methodically, Paul Winter appeared from behind the stage playing his soprano sax. Four other musicians followed him to their places on stage, instruments in hand, microphones ready. Suddenly—through sounds and visuals and vocals—you were in South Africa.
That's where Winter begins the Flyways journey, a musical translation of the amazing migration so many bird species take over the Great Rift Valley, from South Africa, through the eastern African continent, up to the Middle East, and finally into Europe. This past Saturday, Winter and his group played the second of two concerts featuring Flyways, a work decades in the making, one that he hopes conveys the magnificence of the birds' journeys and the traditions of the places over which they fly.
"It's a double celebration of the birds and the traditional cultures, which you might say are equally endangered," he says. "We're really concerned about the relationship of people and birds. It's not a documentary kind of project. It's really meant to integrate the nature and culture."
Integrate the two he did, with musicians and music representing a dozen countries, plus footage of birds spending time in those places. The transition from one place to the next felt seamless though clear, with the music of Kenya and Tanzania morphing into that of Uganda, then Egypt and Israel and Turkey. At an hour and 15 minutes, the concert was perfectly timed, maintaining awe and mystique throughout, yet leaving you wanting just a tinge more.
Like the rock star that he is, Winter, a seven-time Grammy winner, was mobbed by his adoring fans after the show. They bestowed (well-deserved, in this writer's opinion) praise on the 73-year-old for Flyways. Though the birds rarely need any help from us humans, in this case, Winter made them—and their awesome story—sing.

Charlie Retts, Ed.D., has been teaching as an adjunct faculty member for over 24 years at a variety of universities in Arizona. His professional career includes 24 years of management and leadership experience in Staffing, Training, Residential Customer Services, and Commercial Customer Services at Sperry Aerospace and Salt River Project Water and Power in Phoenix, Arizona. Before moving into this industry he started his career as a Dean in Student Affairs at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
International experience includes providing management training for the Government of Egypt and National Panasonic in Tokyo and Osaka Japan.
Charlie has an Ed.D. in Higher Education with an emphasis in human resources and adult learning from Nova Southeastern University, a Master of Arts in Student Development from Azusa Pacific University, a Bachelors in Science. in Communications from Arizona State University, and an Executive Management Certificate from Carnegie-Mellon University.
His latest publication was a co-authored article in Nurse Leader (2012) focusing on Heartfelt Leadership with his wife who is a current Director of CCO for Banner Hospitals in Phoenix and a graduate of Grand Canyon University's Masters in Nursing Leadership program. Heartfelt Leadership has also been the focus of his current consulting contracts in business.
How has facilitating online courses at GCU helped you find your purpose?
My purpose in life has always been to influence others to have a fuller, more productive, and valued life. Teaching at Grand Canyon University has given me the opportunity to expand that role and purpose for my life. As an online faculty member for GCU I have had the opportunity to influence professionals that are making a difference all over the world. It has been exciting to have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives.
What is one effective teaching strategy you use in our online classes?
I guess that over the years I have developed a number of strategies to facilitate adult learning...including studying adult learning in my Ed.D. Program. I think that being online every day, always calling the students by name, providing personal insights and not just educational insights, and taking their comments seriously in the Discussion Questions has helped me make a stronger connection. Managing others and being in leadership positions over the years I have understood that every adult wants to be valued in this life and the fact is that many of them do not. Being authentic in developing a professional online relationship with each student has been very important to me.
What is a GCU online student success story you can share?
I think that the biggest success stories for me are when a student tells me that my class was the one that motivated them to stay true to their original commitment to get an Ed.D. Degree. There are many times, throughout this program, when you know that students are re-evaluating that original commitment and they need a little encouragement to re-commit to their original goal.

My lovely mother purchased me four apple trees! Two Fuji, one Jonathan, and red delicious. I am a simple vegetable gardener and have not had experience with fruit trees. I have researched online but would greatly appreciate any advice or direction!
I live in zone 5 on five acres. The trees are dwarf variety and about eight feet tall right now. Should I plant them together for x pollination? Any special considerations? Do I need to stake them for the winter? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If they're truly dwarf trees, you should put in permanent stakes. Do you happen to know what the rootstock is? |
- Posted by lovegardening84 none (My Page) on Sun, Oct 7, 12 at 21:15
I do not know what the rootstock is....r trees commonly labeled dwarf and end up not being so? |
I agree with ltilton, staking is a good idea, and if you can find out what the rootstock is, it will help in knowing how to manage the trees. If they are on semi-dwarf rootstocks, then they will need to be planted at least 12-14 feet apart. If they are on dwarf rootstocks then at 8 feet high they are already almost full grown and can be planted at least 9-10 feet apart. Red Delicious is also a parent to Fuji so they might not pollinate each other very well (incest), and Jonathan will have to be the main pollinator. So, in my opinion all four trees should be planted so that the Jonathan is within about 50 feet of all the other trees as the prime source of pollen for the other three trees. Be aware that Fuji is more of a warm climate variety and might not perform very well for you in Zone 5. That's not to say it won't work, but don't be too surprised if the apples never fully ripen before winter sets in. Another special thing about Fuji is that it is a tip-bearing tree. Most apples produce fruit on short spurs throughout all the branches. However, tip-bearers require special care in that they produce a large proportion of their fruit on the tips of last year's growth. So, you'll want to prune your Fuji trees less harshly than normal, because if you cut off the tip of every branch you could lose up to 90% of next year's fruit! Nevertheless... Next March, you should prune all the trees to remove roughly 1/3 of all the wood, including cutting about 2 feet off the top of each tree. This will help your trees to adjust to their new surroundings. There are a few good sources on the internet (as well as in books) as to how to prune trees. Some of the best sources I have found include: http://eap.mcgill.ca/CPTFP_7.htm Best of luck to you. |
If they are already 8 feet tall, I'm guessing that they are potted, not bare root (it would be early for BR anyway, I think). Given that many of the suggestions to removing wood are to balance the top with the bottom (which has just lost root system due to BR transplanting), I would think that wouldn't be needed. Further, it could delay fruiting. From what I've read, you get earlier fruiting by not heading back branches. I would instead just plant and stake the trees. I would normally say bend the branches more horizontal, but I'm not sure it would matter at this time of year- any fruit buds which were going to form this year are already there... |

Business / Full Disclosure Paper Full Disclosure Paper June 24, 2013 ACC/421 University of Phoenix Full Disclosure Paper This paper will explain the need for full disclosure on financial reporting and the possible consequences of improperly disclosing items within the financial reports. The full disclosure principle in accounting and why disclosure has increased substantially in the last 10 years will be addressed as well. Full disclosure principle requires the reporting of any financial facts that are significant enough to influence an informed reader's judgment and have a material impact on a company's financial position within the company's financial reports (Kieso, Weygandt Warfield, 2012). The SEC requires all companies to comply with the full disclosure principle in their financial reports. Some examples of some of the items that must be disclosed are a company's accounting policies, aspects of contingent liabilities, contingent assets, and legal actions ("Full Disclosure Principle", 2013). Potential investors, stockholders, creditors and financial institutions use a company's financial reports for judging and comparing a company's financial health. Readers of the financial reports may need the answers to questions like: Can the company afford to pay back the loan they are applying for? Are they making enough profit to pay investors dividends? Can they expand or should they scale back the company's operations? Reading the financial reports a person can find the answers to these questions and many more questions as well. But if the information is not accurate and correct the right decisions cannot be made. The SEC requires full disclosure on all financial reports so that the interested person reading these reports can have confidence the reports are accurate. This came about after the scandals like Enron and Bernard Madoff, and WorldCom stole millions of dollars from investors by misrepresenting their company's financial worth. Due to the Sec and the SOX Act compani... |

HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) had neurologic disease at a younger age than HIV-negative MSM at risk for HIV infection in the US Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS). Compared with the HIV-negative group, HIV-positive men had significantly higher rates of four types of neurologic disease, including dementia. High rates of neurologic disease persist in HIV-positive people despite access to combination ART. MACS investigators conducted this study to compare incidence and patterns of neurologic disease in HIV-positive MACS members and HIV-negative men in the cohort. MACS is an ongoing prospective study of MSM in four US cities. The analysis involved 1776 HIV-positive men and 2083 HIV-negative men studied in the combination ART era, beginning 1 July 1996. Follow-up continued until 1 July 2011, the last follow-up visit for each man, or death. During follow-up, 86 HIV-negative men became positive. Median age at first neurologic diagnosis was significantly younger in HIV-positive men on ART than in HIV-negative men (48 versus 54 years, P < 0.001). Neurologic disease incidence (the new diagnosis rate) was higher in antiretroviral-treated HIV-positive men than in HIV-negative men in every age group: • Younger than 40: 11.4 vs 0 diagnoses per 1000 person-years (P < 0.001) • 40 to 49 years: 11.6 vs 2.0 (P < 0.001) • 50 to 60 years: 15.1 vs 3.0 (P < 0.001) • Older than 60: 17.0 vs 5.7 (P < 0.01) Four types of neurologic disease affected HIV-positive men on ART more than HIV-negative men: nervous system infections (P < 0.001), dementia (P < 0.001), seizures/epilepsy (P < 0.01), and peripheral nervous system disorders (P < 0.001). Stroke was not more frequent in men with HIV (P = 0.60). The MACS team proposes that "the higher burden of neurologic disorders experienced in HIV-positive MSM represents potentially treatable and preventable neurologic disease." The investigators believe that "middle-aged and elderly HIV-positive individuals require in-depth clinical studies to fully understand the various mechanisms that may contribute to their excess burden of neurologic disease."Source: Farrah J. Mateen, Russell T. Shinohara, Marco Carone, Eric N. Miller, Justin C. McArthur, Lisa P. Jacobson, Ned Sacktor, for the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study.

I found out her makeup artist, Patty Bunch, uses Tarte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in Envy. It's a mauve berry color that looks totally different on me, but that's okay. I still love the color. It's easy to apply and has a nice, peppermint-y tingle. It's made with peppermint oil, jojoba oil, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Very moisturizing!

Never had luck getting them to bloom all summer. Tell me your secrets for growing and overwintering. I have a perfect location by the back door for a couple of these. The pink and white is stunning! |
Love your begonias, McT! I buy them in hanging basket at Home Depot, so just basic colors, no picotees. Boo hoo. Bean, the trick is not overwatering them. And they bloom better with some early light, just not midday scorching sun. A million years ago, before children, I used to buy fancy ones. I dug them in the fall, cleaned and dried them for 2 days on the deck. Then I sored them in sawdust in a box in the cellar. Now I do it the really lazy way. I let the hanging baskets dry out, then store them as is, still in the baskets. In March, I put them into a sunny window, give a tiny amount of water. As they start to sprout, I keep giving tiny amounts of water, just so they are barely damp. Use weak Miracle-Gro also. As the days get longer they start to jump. Any warm day they get hauled outside to harden up, but only in filtered light. They won't get as big as the ones you buy ready-to-go, since thy were started later, but I don't care. I take the hangars off the pots and use them as potted plants, not hanging baskets. I buy a few big gorgeous baskets each year for the lamppost and hangars on the house. I'm sure anyone with a light set-up could get them to full size by starting earlier. ~Bunnycat |
I agree with Bunnycat's advice. I put them away in the pot they are in (dry) whenever possible. I had a friend out on the coast that saved her begonias in the wiskey barrels they were planted in. She never dug them up, just pulled the barrels under the house where they wouldn't freeze. It was a much warmer winter than here so it always worked. The tubers (or corms?) just got bigger and bigger every year. Some were the size of a saucer. The plants were gigantic. I've found my experience is that the "non stop" begonias that flower all summer and are sold in such quantities in the spring by just about every nursery will come back but they don't seem to increase like the ones you buy individually as a corm in the spring. Those are the ones with picotee or ruffels etc. They do get bigger and bigger each year. The other thing this friend taught me was that they should sit almost on top of the soil. She never burried hers because too much wet where the stem joins the bulb can make it rot. I have the dirt about halfway up the side of the corm. McT |

Palacios's wines here have been a stunning success, artistically and commercially. They've also transformed the appellation. Before Palacios and Pérez arrived, Mencia was used almost exclusively to make wine primarily for blending. In an effort to capitalize on Spain's emergence as a source for big, dark wines, ambitious local producers had planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other grapes that are ubiquitous worldwide but have no connection with Bierzo. Yet Palacios is held in such esteem among Spain's winemakers that when he announced his intention to use only Mencia in Bierzo, the grape underwent an instant reevaluation. New vineyards were ripped out and replanted with Mencia.
The vintner chose the grape because he believed it would make a superior wine, but also because he's in love with his country, its geography, history, and culture, and believes that these overlooked grapes, as much as flamenco and bullfighting—he is a connoisseur of both—are an essential part of that. He vows that, unlike many of the world's great vintners, he'll never leave Spain to make a wine. He could produce a fine Cabernet or Merlot, perhaps one to challenge the best wines of Bordeaux, where he lived for two years after attending enology school there. But does the world really need another claret?
As a result, his work is imbued with an intensity of purpose that transcends the concocting of a pleasurable beverage. No less than those made by religious orders through the Dark Ages, these wines have a higher meaning: to create one, even to drink one, is to make a sociological statement. "How could anyone grow Cabernet Sauvignon here?" Palacios asks. "It's not natural." His hands have turned to fists, and his arms are crooked like a boxer's. His voice is passionate, nearly strident. "We are not enologists," he says. "We are finders and restorers. The enology we learn, day by day. But what we are really doing here is restoring the patrimony of Bierzo."
He glares at me for a moment. Then his mood lightens. "Come on," he says. "Let's eat."
Palacios takes me to Menta y Canela, in Ponferrada, the provincial capital. We eat cod tripe with morcilla sausage; tuna belly; a loin of pork. We drink a perfumed Moncerbal from 2003. Then we take a nap. (European Union guidelines or no, the siesta remains integral to the Spanish way of life.) By the time we head off to see the vineyards, it is almost 8 p.m. The light in the valley has taken on an unfocused quality that I usually associate with Provence. It is not the crisp light of early morning, but soft, fuzzy at the edges.
As we drive up a steep dirt road, we scrape against underbrush and rumble through mud. Eventually we park, then walk about half a mile along a ridge. And there is Moncerbal, a vineyard planted on a slope angled at 60 degrees. Across from us, on the other side of the valley, is an even sheerer slope covered with chestnut trees, which gleam like emeralds in the hazy light.
Moncerbal's soil is full of quartzite, which diffuses heat. That's where the freshness of the wine comes from, Palacios says. Las Lamas is just down the way, but there the soil is slate degraded into clay, which holds the heat, so the grapes there are markedly different. Palacios reaches down to pick a plant called jara; its scent of cinnamon and lemongrass reminds me of the Moncerbal we had with lunch. "That's no accident," Palacios says.

Hey, all. Since i am brand new to growing hot peppers, i need a bit of advice from you veterans, please. This plant is about one year old. It grew from seed last February. As you can see from the picture, it has four "trunks". The fattest "trunk" in the middle is the only one with peppers growing on it. The one on the left and the two on the right have many leaves, but no flowers or pods at all. Now, here is the question......am i better off leaving the plant alone or should i eliminate the three "trunks" with no peppers? I should be able to move this plant outside (in its container) in about a month since i am in Florida. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tough call on the pruning. The outside trunks have good healthy leaf growth which the plant is using to bring energy to the rest of the plant. Even though they are not producing peppers, I would probably leave them go or maybe just prune them back partway to allow more room for the middle trunk. I also would get the plant outside as soon as possible, even if just during the warm daytime. That will spur growth and eventually pod production faster than anything else. Good luck and I wish I was in Florida right now. It is zero degrees here right now with a foot of fresh snow. Bruce |
Ok, i think i will prune the other three trunks down a bit, just above a node. I wish i could get them outside a bit each day, but we are having a bit of a chill right now. Soon enough, though, i will. I can't wait. Thanks much for your input. |

I just sent invites to the 9th Annual Western NY Plant swap this morning.
Looking forward to a great time as usual! If you have not attended, it's always a great time, and a great opportunity to meet other gardeners in the area! The swap is held in Hamlin, NY (midway between Buffalo and Rochester) and is open to anyone who would like to attend. We have a plant swap, pot luck, and a Yankee gift exchange (optional). If you are interested in attending but did not receive an invite, or if you would like more information, let me know! |

Starting to pot things up now! I've got peonies, crambe cordifolia, and lilies so far. |
Brenda, add Crambe to my list if possible :o) -Rosalinda |
Brenda If your peonies aren't spoken for I would be interested. |
- Posted by gottagarden z5 western NY (My Page) on Sun, May 6, 12 at 8:50
I'll bring several of each. I've got tons of plants, the problem is finding time to pot them up :-) |
And if it ever stops raining here maybe I will get a chance to get something ready for the swap - sigh...... -Rosalinda |
I haven't potted up much but I do have a couple of weigela 'Red Prince cuttings rooted potted and starting to develop flower buds so they may still be blooming by the swap. I also have quite a few starts of Phlox paniculata (Tall garden Phlox) I should have some Cuphea ignea 'David Verity'. Great in the pot or inground in full sun. Likes lots of water and great hummer plant. Very difficult to find in western NY if at all. That is all I have done so far. |
I'm new to the area, so didn't receive an invite. Could you please email the information to me? Should be able to reach me from my page. |
- Posted by garden_frog Z6 Western NY (My Page) on Mon, May 21, 12 at 7:28
PBL, I can't send the invite by clicking on your name because it uses a fill in form and hides your email. The invites are sent through an external site so I need to enter in your email address there. Either click on my name and send me your email address through the fill in form, or I sent you a message, you can simply reply to that. Whichever is easier! Hope you can join us! |
Hi everyone, I rsvp'd also. I have not posted in forever but I've been lurking. I have grasses to share if anyone is interested, some hosta, tiger eyes sumac, etc. cant wait to see everyone. Glen. |

I couldn't find a date so I hope I haven't missed it! Message sent (I hope) requesting an invite. I'll have to see what I can round up to bring...I KNOW I have Japanese Quince volunteers for sure. |
- Posted by eclecticcottage none (My Page) on Fri, Jun 1, 12 at 15:35
I am not sure if anyone will catch this, I looked for a "what I'm bringing" type thread and didn't find one. I am looking for some Rosa Rugosa, not fussy about color but looking for one of the hybrids that will be a repeat bloomer. I should be able to split my spiderwort (deep purple), and dig some wild white violets. I have two small rose of sharon too, and some day lilies and hosta...and quince for sure, I always seem to have that to dig. Some glad bulbs I never planted...and I could dead head some poppy seed heads...hmm... |
Hi Eclectic, The Swap is this coming Sunday, 3 June. Did you get your invite? Hope to see you there on Sunday -Rosalinda |
- Posted by eclecticcottage none (My Page) on Fri, Jun 1, 12 at 21:14
Well...I better pot up tomorrow, lol. No, not yet :) |

eclecticcottage, for some reason, your message didn't go through. I'll try and email you, if you get it, email me back so I can forward the invite to you. The swap is tomorrow at 11 (although we usually have about an hour of setup before we get started). |

Attributed to André-Charles Boulle French, Paris, about 1680 Oak veneered with tortoiseshell, pewter, brass, ebony, horn, ivory, and various natural and stained woods; gilt-bronze mounts H: 2 ft. 4 3/8 in. x W: 3 ft. 7 1/2 in. x D: 2 ft. 5 in. 71.DA.100
Marquetry of extraordinary quality in wood and in tortoiseshell, brass, horn, and pewter decorates the top of this table. A band of brass surrounds a large central oval of tortoiseshell, and naturalistic flowers in wood marquetry frame the table's outer surface. Peonies, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and ranunculus can all be identified. The flowers are composed of small pieces of wood veneer that were assembled and then scorched with hot sand to create subtle gradations of shadow. Originally, the table would have been more vividly colored; light exposure has bleached the wood marquetry and faded the blue paint underneath the framing areas of horn to gray. Very few pieces of furniture are veneered with two types of marquetry. A single person seems to have made all of them, including this table, as they include many comparable motifs. For example, four small birds on the top of the table are very similar to four birds found on the drawer fronts of the large Cabinet on a Stand in the Museum's collection. André-Charles Boulle, a royal cabinetmaker working at the Louvre, may have designed and executed these pieces.

Just found scale insects on a large Hibiscus indoors. ItÆ s been years since I had these on anything, and never on something so big. Is there a particular spray that is good, or do I need to pick them off one by one? Or pick-then-spray? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 21:33
Hi Linnea56. First, isolate your Hibiscus from other plants. Hand-picking works, but depending on the amount of scale, it's a slow and long process, plus by not spraying, you're only removing older bugs, missing eggs and crawlers (babies). I don't use chemical sprays for a couple reasons, one being we have birds. Chemicals can kill a bird and who knows how harmful it is to other pets and people. When it comes to insecticides, I mix my own natural/organic ingredients, ingredients depend on type of insect. The best method I've found killing scale is by foliar spraying Fish Emulsion. FE's main use is organic fertilizing, either by mixing with water, then applying to soil or spraying leaves/foliar feedings. I was told this useful tidbit from a citrus nursery owner in Fl. She uses it as a preventative on Citrus trees. Linn, FE does the job. The only problem is it has a fishy odor. The smell lasts 2-3 days depending on ventilation in your house. On warm days, crack open a window. There is an odorless FE, but I've never used it, so can't vow if it's as odorless as they say. lol. Since our temps warmed up, you can bring your Hib outside, spray, and let sit 1-3 hours. Don't forget to bring Hib back in at night. As long as temps are 55-60F and up, you haven't any worries. There are other oils, and/or chemicals, but I prefer FE. Good luck whatever you choose. Don't forget to isolate Hib, Toni |
Linnea, the most common method used to treat oyster shell scale insect is with rubbing alcohol which is applied in different ways. One is to use a Q-Tip, soaked in the alcohol and the bug is then touched. The alcohol eats through the hard shell and kills the bug. Each bug though must be touched to be effective. The other method is to treat the plant. Take the plant out where you can spray indiscriminately and spray from top to bottom, bottom to top, ensuring all parts are covered. This method must be repeated 3 times in 20 days to break the cycle of the bug from egg, to larvae, to adult. Another method is to use the dormant oil that is used outside in combo with lime sulfur. Most plant bugs can be treated with the soap and water without concern of damage as long as the soap is not left on the plant. |
Thanks for the help. Where do you find Fish Emulsion? I have heard of it before as fertilizer but have not seen it in stores. Is it a liquid or a powder to be mixed? If I go the soap route: I use something like the Dawn dishwashing liquid I have? Or is that too harsh? I have heard of using insecticidal soap but never knew it was to be mixed with alcohol. When you rinse it off, arenÆt you rinsing the solution into the soil of the pot. WonÆt that hurt the plant? |
linnea, do you know what kind of scale your plant is infested with? It might make a difference with the control method. If you don't want to mess with the fish emulsion, you might want to try a general horticultural oil. (It's the oil in the fish emulsion that helps control the scale.) It won't smell. Oil applications, by the way, are typically recommended for the control of scale insects. Fish emulsion (yes, a fertilizer) is a liquid and can be found in any garden center department. So can an assortment of horticultural oils. You can try an alcohol application by mixing one part isopropyl to 3 or 4 parts water (some people even use it stronger) and misting the leaves and stems. You don't need to rinse it off. Avoid dish detergents. Dawn, in particular, has a bad reputation for burning foliage. Please do not even consider applying lime-sulfur mixes in conjunction with oil applications. I think that jeannie is trying to kill your plant, lol. Also, you do not need to treat the soil. Scale insects lay their eggs on the plant, they hatch on the plant, and live their entire life on the plant. |
FE does work on scale, however you will still need the soap to wash the buggers off the plant. Alcohol would burn a hibiscus, happens every time for me. I would go with the soap, if you must make your own, use soap flakes found in the laundry aisle. Mix a couple tablespoons in a squirt bottle with a bit of glycerine and a bit of garlic oil, and it should not only kill them but repel them. Another thing I have used with success is fly spray for horses. It has a citronella scent and scale does not like it. |
The scales are rather large, about 3 to 4 mm, and black or very dark brown. Not the smaller light brown ones. They are producing a lot of honeydew which is why I noticed them. |

Linnea, Home Depot and some Walmarts sell Fish Emulsion. Like I said, it has an odor, but rids scale, immediately. FE is also sold online..Ebay, Home Harvest, to name a few. I use most dish soaps, except Dawn..Some people swear by it, but anything that 'cuts grease' is a little too harsh in my opinion. But it's great for dishes..lol. Linnea, do you outdoor plants in summer? Honeydew attracts ants. Have you seen any? My plants had one scale outbreak after receiving a newly purchased Olive tree. There were literally hundreds of these disgusting, huge-shelled creatures. Thankfully, I remembered the woman in Fl's advice, and followed her directions to a T. I swear, the following day, all scale were goners! A week later, Olive and neighboring plants got a second dose..this happened over 4 yrs ago..thankfully, not a scale since. Whatever you decide to use, good luck. Please remember, aim at all parts of plant to rid these creatures. Toni |
I just found another hibiscus with these! In a different room but both plants were from the same source. I suspect they had them secreted somewhere when I bought them. It just took a while before the population boomed and I saw them. I decided to cut off all the tips (where they are congregating) to make it easier to eliminate these. Then I only have to deal with the babies and survivors. In checking other plants I found spider mites too, so it looks like everybody needs a soapy bath at the least. Yes, they live outside in the summer. I am heading out to Home Depot to buy the FE today. Where do you find glycerine and garlic oil? I have some garlic capsules, pierce and use those? Let me see if I understand thisģtake it outside and spray it with water thoroughly. Let dry. Spray with soap solution. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse. Spray with FE solution. Re-do sequence 2 weeks later? |
Linnea - Neem Oil is a safe insecticide you can use indoors w/o concern for your or your pet's health. It's known to be effective on insect with sucking/rasping mouth parts. I've used it to control whitefly on hibs, and I've used it to control scale and mites on many other plants. I'm not sure if it was this thread where someone cautioned against using alcohol on hibs, but I've used it many times with no ill effects. First remove as much of the scale as you can by hand. Then start with a pint of very hot water in a 1 qt spritzer. I then add a tsp of cold-pressed neem oil and few drops of Murphy's Oil Soap (or dishsoap), shake, and add a pint of 70% rubbing alcohol. Shake again and spritz, making sure to cover all surfaces, especially the underside of leaves and leaf axils (crotches). Shake frequently to keep the blend emulsified. Spray at 2 week intervals. Al |

Sorry Linnea..Mites too!!! Oh Lord. Get a spray bottle. 16oz is fine, if larger or a little smaller, no problem, but 16oz if fairly standard. Fill sprayer with warm water. Add 2-4 drops of dish soap. Your Garlic capsules are perfect..yes, pierce the capsule, squeeze gel inside water. |
I got the fish emulsion yesterday. ItÆs going to be warm outside today, IÆm going to do this. First have to find some non-dawn dish detergent around the house. Forgot that yesterday. I do have MurphyÆs oil soap mentioned by another poster. IÆm not clear about this: First I spray it with soap solution, then let dry, and re-spray again with solution of FE, water, soap, and garlic? Or am I spraying only once with the combo FE solution? |
