The furniture and mattress industry has a black cloud hanging over their heads, and the foam and chemical industry is trying every-way they can to justify their actions over the past 35 years of pouring some of the most dangerous chemicals into our homes.
For those who want to know; search "PBDE firemaster 550" |
Follow-Up Postings:
What exactly is PBDE. Both furniture and Chemical industries have their own importance. I am looking to purchase some furniture items and want suggestions where to buy it? |
We all take risks everyday, KarlPt. We go from home to work in our car, for the food we eat, to the activities we enjoy. Because we know and understand these risks. This is why I posted this message so that everyone can understand the risks associated with the furniture your sitting on today or tomorrow. All the scientific research has shown the risks from the industry using fire retardant chemicals in the foam and padding far out-weight any risks that these chemicals may provide to help reduce any fires in the home. It would be easy for me to just say go out and buy a sofa without these chemicals in the foam. But its not, because this is the standard and most upholstery will display with a hangtag attached or sewn into he seat that all filling materials meet Cal 117 fire retardant requirements. Contact every manufacturers of the items your looking at to purchase and ask them if they offer fire retardant free foam and fillings. And you want this in writing from them. Thats if you believe the risks shown from all the research on this. |

Fire retardent foam is required in California. Most manufacturers who sell in CA have adopted this standard so they won't have to carry two foams and keep track of where each order is going and then adjust their foam accordingly. |
Freethinker99, Its also been pushed by the tobacco & chemical companies the major financier of UFAC. Hopefully it will get changed: SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Gov. Jerry Brown is calling for changes to state flammability standards for upholstered furniture in an effort to reduce the use of what he says are toxic flame retardants. Brown said in a statement on Monday that a growing body of evidence shows chemicals used as retardants harm human health and the environment. |

Interesting! |
Yes very interesting reading going on about this, Freethinker99. A upholstery manufacturer just recently stopped selling into California because of the FR regulations. As it appears the new direction is similar to the mattresses industry FR regulations. To have a FR barrier; this could either be the fabric/leather itself or a FR barrier underneath. Their are complaints that many of these barriers dont work well with/against majority of fabrics. Also exactly what chemical will they be using for this barrier or in the fabrics themselves. Is their really any safe FR chemicals? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/magazine/arlene-blums-crusade-against-household-toxins.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1 |
I saw a demonstration on TV after we had a local home fire. Memory foam is explosive, when it reaches a certain temp it explodes. I will not have things like that in my home, especially on a child's bed. I know every thing is dangerous to a certain extent, but some things we can avoid. I don't spray for bugs in my home, I clean it often. I don't use garden spray, there is enough plants out there that bugs don't like. I do hire someone to spray to prevent termites to protect my home. I have stopped using heavy duty cleaners, I use soap and water for 99% of my cleaning. |
EmmaR, I have seen some of these demonstrations, and they are meant to scare people and not based common sense or facts. If your child is in a bed and it catches fire and the temperature of the fire reaches the point where the foam will reach its flash point, im sorry to say long before it reaches that temperature it will be too late for your child. Almost always in a home fire, the cause of death is smoke inhalation. Even with these flame retardant chemicals in the foam, it will still produce smoke. You should have working fire/smoke detectors in everyroom and teach for your children what to do in case of a fire or alarm goes off and also teach them that fire is extremely dangerous and not something to play with. If you do just this, you will reduce or eliminate the chance of anyone in your family getting in harms way of a fire. It important that everyone take self responsibility for this and not rely on the the government/fire officials and the regulations that are promoted by the chemical industry products and their scare tactics to get in the way of the actual facts. |

The Portuguese government has decided, after a special cabinet meeting
held on May 4th, to conclude and exit the three-year EU-IMF adjustment programme without requesting any further external financial assistance. The programme ends on 17 May.
The decision follows a careful assessment of the current economic situation and future prospects, the situation in the financial markets, notably the successful issuance of long-term debt, and the existence of a cash buffer that covers the government's funding needs for the next 12 months. The government also took into consideration the views expressed by relevant stakeholders and market participants on the options around the exit strategy. Finally, the decision follows last Friday's successful completion by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, of the 12th and final review mission of the Economic Adjustment Programme. The disbursement is expected to occur in June corresponding to the formal conclusion.

Hey guys,
I've read a few messages about the wonders of rotenone and am wondering if I'm reading inserts from Industrial interests in the chemical. Please use this compound only with the utmost care and not at all if you can avoid it! It is NOT safe. Take a peek at all the information on it in the NIH library. We have used it for years to create models of Parkinsons, a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. It is also used acutely to kill fish (and other susceptible organisms). Please opt for something much safer for pest control. Rotenone is extremely outdated. thanks for listening! All for safer living... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Honestly, I don't think I've seen a posting about Rotenone this whole year....until now. I guess I've missed them. It's a chemical that should never be recommended, and is not readily found on the retail market anymore, I don't believe. |
It has been and it is readily available in many places. I have been telling many peole for 10 years now tht Rotenone is not an acceptable organic pesticide only to be told by some that it is, because it is a "natural" pesticide. So is Arsenic. |
Rotenone has only limited uses left for home use. Soon to be a restricted-use chemical, not available for home use. I had heard rumors so emailed the Oregon Dept of Agriculture for facts. This is, in part, is the response --- "Back in 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the companies that sell products containing rotenone made the decision to cancel all livestock, residential/homeowner, domestic pet, and all other uses of rotenone except for "fish-kill" uses. This decision has been gradually implemented since that time." And more -- |
If Rotenone is not good to use what can be used to kill beetles in the flower garden without killing bees? |
Which beetles? Are they pests, beneficials, or innocuous? In addition to rotenone other "natural" pesticides, such as pyrethrins, spinosad, ryania, and some others are just as broad spectrum as the synthetic poisons. Others, Neem oil and the bacteriums, are less toxic although some claim they are non toxic. However, if a substance kills something it is not non toxic. Identify what you have and decide whether it is a good or bad bug and if it needs to be poisoned and then find the least toxic (to you) method of control. |
Maybe my question wasn't clear so I will state it more precisely. I want Japanese, Oriental and Asiatic beetles to die when they are on and attack plants in a flower garden. Is there an insecticide that will do that without killing bees? |
Nope. The best option is a pyrethrum based insecticide used with due care so you do not spray when bees are active. |
You can buy a Japanese beetle trap. They worked really well for me when I lived in Pa. |
Japanese Beetle traps actually attract the beetles to your yard and garden. |

I've been wanting to paint that Santa from the last Quick & Easy Painting mag. The one by Nancy Wood. Just hadn't decided what surface to use for it.
Need to get it done because I like to start putting up my Christmas decorations by the 1st of Dec. When do you start pulling the boxes out and decorating? I know some like to start the day after Thanksgiving. Boy, I just can't wait! This place should be "hopping" if we all start posting pics of our previous (and current) painted items. ;o) Luvs |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do mine the day after Thanksgiving. Gives us more time to enjoy everything and the house looks so cozy with all the white string lights around. I love how it looks and feels at night especially. I know I have at least a few things to post. It's so fun to unpack because I forget what I have from one year to the next. It's like I get to open Christmas presents early. I've got a few projects I want to finish too. May skip the kitchen today and work on some although I only have one more wall to mud. I always bite off more than I can chew, but I figured it would give me incentive to get it done quickly if I wanted it done for the holidays. TGIF!! ~Anj |

That's right, Anj, you're hosting Thanksgiving! Know you want your kitchen all finished before then. It will look so pretty and feel so nice and fresh--bet you'll get lots of nice compliments on it. My DIL wants to do Thanksgiving again this year. Last year was her first time, and she found out it wasn't so hard after all. I'm helping out with pie, noodles, stuffing and making the gravy. Makes it easier on both of us--so nice to have another female in the family! ;o) We have a small group--most of the relatives are in other states and even another country! Luvs |

Here in Canada Luvs we have already celebrated our thanksgiving so I have enjoyed my fall decorations. I quickly gathered them up last week and on Sunday I promptly started hauling out the boxes. I decorated all day Sunday and Monday and am still doing odds and ends stuff this week before going to work. I have my Christmas quilt on my bed and all my Christmas linens out. Set up my village, added the village people, ended up buying more pieces. Wow it never ends! I may have begun too early though, I'm finding now there is always more that I want to do. The earlier you start the more you want to do. Anyways the moral of my story is that I only started painting this year so unfortuneatly I have no previous projects to post. I haven't as a matter of fact had any time for painting outside of painting class this week and even that was a little slow. I'm wishing all of you a very nice and foodfull thanksgiving. Enjoy. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Fri, Nov 17, 06 at 23:28
Hey Violet--that's right! You have a head start on those of us in the states. Good for you. At least I got my windows washed, baseboards and carpets cleaned, etc. while getting ready for my DH's birthday party last weekend, so I can get right into putting up the Christmas decorations. Don't want to start until after Thanksgiving. I don't like to rush through that to get to the next one! It's okay that you don't have any previously painted items--you get to start now and build up your stash of items. Are you working on any Christmas items in class? Nice if you can try to do at least a couple items each holiday--then you soon have a real collection of items to decorate with. Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes--love all the good food and being with family. Luvs |

There are times I've started the day after Turkey Day, sometimes seeing other folks decorations gives me the inspiration to put up my own, sometimes I've not even decorated at all (Luvs, I'm an ordinary person-I'm no one special, I'm just Sally). One year I only took out a few things and then put a sting of red lights with poinsetta silk flowers slipped over the bulbs and wrapped it around my very tall and full cactus. It's about six feet tall now, after 20 years of growing. Last year I gave a lot of my decorations away to a young girl with a new baby who was in deparate need of help for furnishings and food and I just wanted to be able to put a smile on her face for the holidays. (Now don't be getting all teary-eyed over this, as I said, I'm no one special.) Ok, ok, if you must know, I saw this article in the newspaper about a young girl in a shelter and there was a pic of her looking down at her newborn son and the look on her face was something I've had on my own in the past and I just wanted to help. Yes, she was grateful and when she asked what I wanted in return, I told her nothing, but if you would like to repay the favor then I will ask that one day down the road, when you read/hear or know about someone in the same situation, that you be kind and offer to help in whatever way you can, just help put that smile on a face and make them feel a little better. She looked me straight in the eyes, with a huge smile on her face and said she would do that. Now please, I don't want to have to come back in this post and read, Oh Sal, you are so kind, blah, blah, blah. I will kick your aszzz and mop the floor with it (LOL). As I said, "if you would like," do what you can to help someone out. A single Mom or family in need, a little smile on their face(s) and the hope they will feel better. You know... |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sat, Nov 18, 06 at 19:16
Ahhh, Sal--I might have called you an ol' softy, but knowing you have a military background, I fear I had better refrain! Ha ha What you told that young girl was told to me years ago by a neighbor/friend who was also our cook at the rural high school I attended. She was always helping us with our hair or loaning a sweater or giving a much needed hug. She always said "You don't need to thank me--just pass a kindness forward". Your message is a good one for all of us to keep in mind--at the holidays, and all year through. And you are very WRONG Sal--you are somebody very SPECIAL. God Bless! Luvs |

BBSRC congratulates winners of Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Further and Higher Education
19 November 2009
Prof Douglas Kell, Chief Executive of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), has congratulated the winners of the Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Further and Higher Education, announced in London last night.
Three of the award recipients received prizes for research work either funded by or associated with BBSRC. These were the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) at Aberystwyth University, a former institute of BBSRC, Lancaster University and Newcastle University.
Prof Kell said: "I personally congratulate all of the winners of the Queen's Anniversary Prizes. It is an exceptional achievement and an accolade they can be rightly proud of.
"The three Prize winners based on BBSRC science are standard bearers for UK bioscience. They have demonstrated how the nation's world-class bioscience research base is mobilising to meet the challenges we face in the 21st Century. It is particularly pleasing to see the winners being recognised for achievement in areas identified by BBSRC as strategically important – food security and healthier ageing."
IBERS received the award for the work of its scientists to combine fundamental plant genetic research with the development of commercial plant varieties. Lancaster University scientists received the prize for research to develop plants able to cope with drought conditions and for working with BBSRC and commercial partners to develop training programmes for young scientists applicable to the needs of industry. Both prizes recognise the importance of basic plant science in contributing to helping the world in meeting the growing food security challenge.
As populations age in developed countries helping to ensure people can stay healthy and active for as long as possible is an increasing challenge. Newcastle University was honoured for research addressing this challenge – looking at understanding the processes of ageing and thereby helping our ageing population to live healthier longer lives. Newcastle is home to the BBSRC-funded Centre for Integrated Systems Biology of Ageing and Nutrition (CISBAN).
Queen's Anniversary Prizes are awarded by the Royal Anniversary Trust to honour work of outstanding importance and quality in higher and further education in the UK.

I am having trouble with my basil after several attempts in several locations and states. I've finally discovered the problem may be me, so thought I�d turn to the experts :)
I am just not sure when to start pinching leaves! I have a big problem with my basil getting taller but not wider AND turning woody and flowering. I have new seedlings with just one set of leaves so I want to start this batch out right! How many leaves should there be before I pinch AND do I pinch from tops/side/where?!?! Here are some pics of various basil attempts to give an idea of what I am talking about. (note: all these containers now have just one plant in each after getting feedback in another forum about them being too crowded) http://www.flickr.com/photos/kissingfrogs2003/sets/72157627694744299/ |

Your link. Whenever you want to put some basil in your food, pick off as many leaves as you need. The more you pick the leaves, the more bushy it will get. Your plants look great and ready to get very bushy. For the babies, this plant looks ready to have the tiny new set of emerging leaves pinched. |

OH! I should clarify... These are old plants. Mine are brand new seedlings now (no pics). Just using these photos in case they help others to figure out where I am going wrong... The ones in the photos actually never got bushy (hence the question)...they got wilty, flowered, and brown/black spotted leaves :( |

It's the way each stitch is precisely sewn for optimum durability and beauty. It's the way each thread is trimmed for a clean, finished look. It's the way all leather edges are trimmed, rolled and sealed. It's the way each piece of solid brass hardware is chosen for its utility and great looks.
Vegetable tanned authentic "English" bridle leather is made from heavy high quality native steer hides and drum dyed for deep, consistent colors with waxes and tallows. It is then hot stuffed with just the right amount of "spew" on the grain and flesh to have that English feel. English bridle leather collars are relatively stiff when new, but with proper care and break-in will become soft and extremely supple, conforming perfectly to your dog's neck and have outstanding durability. Hence, it is an ideal leather to use for dog products and that is why we only use this type of leather.

If you bought the Magic Bullet can you please give your review here. I was considering buying a blender but this might be better if it makes smoothies as well as a blender. |
- Posted by flyingflower (My Page) on Sat, Feb 18, 06 at 13:31
Well? Did you buy it? One thing about it that I don't like (but the other brands are the same so you can't avoid it) is that all of the plastic cups, etc are not dishwasher safe. To some extent they are, maybe the china setting on your dishwasher would be OK. They don't want you to leave it in the dishwasher through the dry cycle because of the high heat. I'll never remember to stop the dishwasher in time to prevent that, it automatically goes into the dry cycle. So this means hand washing. ick. |
- Posted by vickey__mn (My Page) on Fri, Feb 24, 06 at 8:28
I got one, and if you want a personal malt maker, get it, other than that, we really don't like it. Onions are too mushy when using this (plus my pampered chef chopper makes them "chopped"), salsa -- may be ok, I just like mine chunky. My Daughter tried the Alfredo sauce, her boyfriend LOVED it. For $40 if you need a personal blender, go for it. If you drink a lot of smoothies go for it. But if you want to replace ALL THOSE GADGETS, forget it. (But it makes GREAT GIANT MUDSLIDES - or maybe I just don't care after?!?!?!? Vickey-MN |
Hi Marie26 - Did you end up getting one after all? I bought one recently when it was on sale, though it didn't come with the bigger blender or juice extractor attachments which would have been nice to try. After about 3 uses, I somehow mangled the white (gasket?) ring that is inside where the cups thread on to one of the bladed black pieces. I think it came loose in the dishwasher and I probably didn't push it back in properly before using it again. Luckily it came with 4 extra white rings; they can be problematic and sometimes come loose/out in the dishwasher (the manual discusses that). I've used it for grinding coffee beans; it seemed to do a better job for fine grinding than my Cuisinart blade grinder but it's not perfect for espresso making. Have also used it a couple of times to grind dry spices but don't want to impart lasting smells (so far ok); I've avoided grinding cloves as I think that's the one that causes discoloration/clouding of plastic as happened in my old Braun coffee grinder. I loved using the Magic Bullet for making a modest amount of pesto, and for mincing several cloves of garlic and adding various spices & herbs for a made up mix to flavor chicken. The other day I used it instead the food processor to "blenderize" some chana dahl (I had forgotten to soak the chana peas for 3 hours as per instructions - they seem harder than regular yellow split peas - and wanted to use it both as a dahl and some thinned with broth as a soup.... it was great for that, albeit done in 3 or 4 batches. I liked that there was only the small items to clean up.... by putting them in the dishwasher, but even by hand it takes less counter or sink space. We don't have a regular or immersion blender, and somehow I haven't gotten to using the big food processor a lot because of the heaviness to move it and it seems like a bigger deal to clean, even if there's a small bowl (though I could make myself try more to more fairly assess, especially as it's easier to move now since putting a slide-able plastic placemat underneath). But so far I quite like the Magic Bullet, and plan to try it for smoothies.... I expect it to be especially nice for that in the summertime. I'll probably also want to try grinding ice in the summer, but am a little leary about that... maybe I'll make smaller ice cubes for that in case that helps. I do try to remember to unplug it after using as there's no "off" switch, and it can be dangerous to either hands or machine to accidentally push on the mechanism when unintended. I don't do a lot of microwave heating in plastic, but they promote being able to do so, in which case it does seem handy to chop/mix/puree in a cup, heat, then store in fridge if need be by using the appropriate covers. Otherwise the lot of cups with lids do take up quite a bit of cupboard space, not being very stackable or nestable. Hope that helps anyone still pondering. |

Osprey handmade two-tone plated titanium metal frame square aviator sunglasses.
Material: Titanium
Brand: Dita Eyewear
Origin: Japan
In developing collections for their sunglasses brand Dita Eyewear, LA-based designers Jeff Solorio and John Juniper derive inspiration from the chic glasses of the 1950s through the 1980s. The label's Optical series includes everything from metal, Art Deco-flavored shapes to boxy Buddy Holly glasses and post-modern styles. Dita's Sun collection features super-futuristic shades like the Raygun — a goggle-like pair accented with front screws — as well as more traditional aviators, wayfarers and oversize round frames. Handcrafted from titanium, zyl acetate and gold by highly experienced Japanese artisans, Dita Eyewear's vintage chic frames are known for their top-quality construction and intentionally minimalist branding. Considering how well they're designed, we wouldn't have them any other way.

Titans and Saint Thomas Health team up for Mom's Football Safety Clinic
"For Moms by Moms". That was the theme of the inaugural Mom's Football Safety Clinic at LP Field. The event was hosted by the Tennessee Titans and Saint Thomas Health to educate mothers of youth football players how the game is played safer. Titans coaches and Saint Thomas physicians participated in the group sessions teaching around 100 moms in attendance everything from concussion awareness to proper equipment fitting.
The event was exclusive to season ticket holders and club members. The moms were divided into different groups to learn and ask questions about football safety. Later, they heard from a panel of mothers including Leigh Anne Tuohy. Tuohy, who's story was made famous in the movie "The Blind Side" as the mother of Titans tackle Michael Oher, shared her thoughts in raising three children who all played sports.
Watch the video now to hear from Leigh Anne Tuohy and how the clinic helped local moms gather more information about their sons playing football.

Renowned guitarists from around the world are on the Central Coast this weekend for La Guittara California Festival.
It's a three-day musical festival celebrating the guitar.
15 artists will perform in nine concerts. There are also master classes, a free lecture, and guitar exhibitions.
"We realize that what people want out of this instrument is to hear it, and if you ask any classical guitarist, including me, why they got into this instrument, they'll all tell you the same thing: it was the sound. The sound of the instrument is just captivating," said Russ De Angelo, the festival director.
Andrew York, who has been recognized as one of the world's most innovative classical guitarists and composers, performs Saturday night at 6:30 p.m.
The festival also continues Sunday at Cal Poly.

by Karen Griffith Gryga, Managing Partner of DreamIt Funds
For all the talk about the unique challenges female founders face, there's been precious little action. Until now.
With nearly four years of experience increasing the diversity in the tech industry through our DreamIt Access program (in partnership with Comcast) and with women comprising fully 1/4 of our senior team, DreamIt was ready, willing, and able to tackle the challenge. All we needed was the right partner.
We found that partner in the State of Pennsylvania's Discovered and Developed in PA Program (D2PA) which provided DreamIt with nearly $500,000 in grant money to identify the most effective approaches to helping female founders succeed. We are proud to announce the launch of DreamIt Athena as part of our DreamIt Philly Winter 2015 session, taking place in IC @ 3401 at the University City Science Center.
DreamIt is the first top-tier accelerator to tackle the challenges women entrepreneurs face, and we're going beyond platforms for discussion and networking in addressing them:
Lack of Role Models: Women are relatively new to the entrepreneurial scene; we were only granted the right to a business credit in our own names in 1974(!). DreamIt Athena brings together an unprecedented number of women mentors and role models who have already faced and surmounted the high level of scrutiny that often placed them at a disadvantage from the start.

I really like using this Cat theme with kitten in the grass for my blog http://www.diabetickitty.com
I am using my own hosted WP Ver 2.8.4 on Host Gator Baby Croc.
My problem is I am new to blogs so don't know too much about editing….
The top button links on the header don't go to the right places except for the home button does.
I created an About Page and Contact Page and want to do a Link page in the sidebar. These Links work and go to the correct pages,
Where do I go and how do I make the Top Header Links go to the same links as the sidebar links?
I know how to use NVU, but that is about it…
Also how do I change the Title Font and Color?
Your help will be appreciated. I'm sure it is something simple or at least I hope the explanation is simple for me to understand…..Nice Theme!!
Best Regards,

Kate Spade New York Billie

This shoe is stunning. I ordered the silver grid metallic. From previous Kate Spade experiences, I knew I am a true 8.5 (my feet seem to be shrinking, as I have been a 9 for years). This shoe was not available in 8.5 and other reviews said they had to go up half a size so I ordered the 9. It is a tad big but nothing a foot pad won't fix. The height is not too high - it seems to be around 3". Definitely a unique shoe!

Beautiful Shoes! Billie is an absolutely beautiful shoe! The pictures do not do it justice. The shoe is described as 3.5", but on the actual Kate Spade site it is listed at 2.5". I would say that the heel is approximately 3". I normally take a size 6 and I had to size up to a 6.5. These shoes are just stunning and I love the sparkle. So fun and yet so sexy! I hope that down the line they are offered in different colors! I can't wait to rock these babies at the next wedding I attend and on New Year's Eve.

These shoes are amazing! I did have to exchange them for a 5.5 because the 6 was just a little too big and I believe that they will stretch a bit after wearing them a few times (thank you Zappos for the amazing customer service. :) I am wearing these for my wedding day but I will be sure to wear them over and over again. I haven't walked around in them enough to say for sure that they are comfortable to wear for long periods of time but I am am going to test them out by wearing them around the office. Ladies, I know not many people will see these shoes on my wedding day but I feel amazing in them and that's what it's all about. I have never spend this much money on shoes but I think my purchase was worth it. Happy Shopping!

I want a Victory, which I understand is a patented plant. It cannot be sold by division? Does that mean it can only be propogated by tissue culture?. So, basically, I can't buy a field grown division of Victory? So, no matter from whom I buy this product is it going to be a tissue culture, potted plant of various ages and growing seasons?

Follow-Up Postings:
I believe it is a sport that came out of the tissue culture of H. Elaitor. You can buy one that is field grown as long as it is not a division removed from a larger plant. Rob |

in other words.. what rob said.. but a seller may have bought the TC.. and grown it in the ground to size it up ... for resale ... [that is what hallsons[ground]/naylor[pots]/etc does] but all that is between the wholesaler and the TC guy ... you buy it where you see it for sale ... there is no legal case against a buyer ... that said.. the patent is usually paid ... thru the label.. so even if someone field grew it..and divided it up ... he could buy the tag from the patent holder.. pay the patent fee.. and sell the plant within the patent law ... but again .. that has nothing to do with you .... ken |
I guess I was thinking that being patented would reduce my chances of getting a larger plant. But on second thought, I guess it makes no difference. bkay |
The patent simply says asexual propagation is prohibited without permission of the patent holder. It doesn't place any restrictions on how the plant is propagated with permission (whether by TC, field division, etc.). In other words, just because a plant is patented doesn't necessarily mean that it is going to be produced by TC...it could be by field divisions. |

As was mentioned, so long as a plant was purchased legally it doesn't matter how it is grown. I've only seen a few cases where you would pay the patent rights via the plant tag. It isn't very common, I don't think, and I've personally never seen a case of it with hostas. Finally, while the original run of Victory stated that they were going to patent it, Q & Z never did patent Victory nor was the patent ever actually applied for so anyone can divide this particular plant. Hope that helps, Chris |
Chris, 'Victory'is listed on Don Rawson's list of patented Hostas as PPAF. Guess we'll have to get him to dig a little deeper... Pieter |
Chris, I assume you are not an attorney but you seem to have knowlege about this. Do you think it would be illegal to say you applied for a patent when you did not. Why would someone do this ? Rob |
- Posted by ctopher_mi Z5 MI (My Page) on Wed, Mar 7, 12 at 23:30
Originally Q & Z had every intention to patent Victory, and the first run of tags indicated that, but they simply didn't follow through with it. I would guess that the cost was prohibitive and when I asked Mary Beth about it a few years back she said that they had planned on it but didn't, and they didn't have any intention to patent anything at this point. Later plant tags no longer had the PPAF on them, and their catalog never mentioned it again, so I don't think there was anything illegal or malfeasant about it, they just changed their minds. Shady Oaks has produced it now, as well, so there aren't any restrictions on this one. By the way, it was really nice meeting you last summer Rob. Hopefully you'll have a chance to get away and visit again some time. Chris |

i seem to think.. that patent is 3 to 5 thousand dollars .. thats a lot of hosta .. to sell .. in dwindling garden market ... eh?? ken |
That's obvious. Maybe no one will ever check. I had a friend back in the 70's who was a high paid consultant to Steak and Ale and similar companies. She had a high school diploma. (Her specialty was HR depts.) However, she said she had a masters degree from some small college in Oklahoma. No one ever checked. She knew how HR depts. worked and used that knowledge to her benefit. Then again, maybe they meant to apply for the patent and the cash flow got short. Who knows? bkay (the cynic) |

Wow. I am so relieved to hear that Victory is not a patented plant. I thought the Hosta Police would be after me because of what I did accidentally. You know I had a trough of hosta which spent the winter communally, and I'd never seen the plants up and growing. My babysitter (house & garden) did the honors with the arrivals which came after I departed the south for MA last fall. Yesterday, I was busy potting things and did not remember exactly what I'd ordered. The first thing out of the trough was the funny looking double-eyed Victory...which I thought was TWO PLANTS because of the huge root system which separated so easily. Just one root in common unless I am mistaken. So I put it into two pots. I should have taken everything out of the trough first, because next I found laid over on its side, a second such double-eyed double rootmass which had been hidden by some soil over its top. And that was the SECOND VICTORY, both of which I'd ordered from Hostahosta/Solberg. Sigh. Yeah, I had to get out my order and take a look. I do not recall now WHY I got two VICTORY plants, had something to do with their sale and the number of plants possible to ship for the same amount of money. But I knew I'd ordered two of the CURLEY FRIES, a small crinkled heavy-substance plant, one WHITE ELEPHANT, one STAINED GLASS, one BEET SALAD (but there were huge root masses on that one also, and it separated all by itself when I exposed the roots). I'm relieved to hear that because I potted up VICTORY as three plants instead of TWO, I won't have the Hosta Police raiding my compound this spring. And I'm glad this particular information was mentioned in the thread, because I felt so GUILTY. A conscience is a terrible thing to endure. I hope all three pots grow beautifully. Just out of curiosity sake, what would happen if that HAD been a patented plant, and I'd separated it? Should I then pay the patent owner for the extra division? Would that make it all right and square? To whom would I owe the money? |
Chris, Thanks for the information. After reading my last message I was not trying to say Q and Z was doing anything wrong. I was just curious and had some thoughts about the patent process. I will be coming down to visit this summer. Rob |

Search continues for 3rd boater after Cal-Sag collision

Two people were killed and authorities continued to search Sunday for a third person who has been missing since late Friday, when a pleasure boat collided with a commercial vessel on the Calumet-Saganashkee Channel near southwest suburban Palos Heights.
The cause of the collision remained under investigation. The 19-foot boat capsized and had significant damage, Chris Young, a spokesman for the state Department of Natural Resources, said Sunday.
The bodies of Jeremy Muzika, 33, and Viengsavnh Bielarz, 40, were recovered from the water Saturday afternoon, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office and the U.S. Coast Guard. Neither was wearing a life jacket, according to the Coast Guard.
They died of drowning and multiple injuries after the boat collided with a 66-foot barge, an autopsy found Sunday. The deaths were ruled accidents.
The Coast Guard indicated there was little hope of finding the third boater alive. That person's name has not been released.
"The decision to shift from search-and-rescue to recovery is one of the most difficult decisions imaginable," said Capt. Amy Cocanour, commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of everyone involved."
Teams from the Coast Guard, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and other authorities began a search about 11 p.m. Friday after the boat and the barge collided on the Cal-Sag near mile marker 311.
Authorities used sonar to search for victims on Saturday. But on Sunday, search efforts were hampered after powerful Saturday storms stirred up the channel, preventing two Illinois Conservation Police search teams from using sonar.

Tony Stewart's Race to Make NASCAR History
Coming within three points of leader Carl Edwards this past week at Texas, Tony Stewart is engaged in the closest points battle in NASCAR history and is poised to accomplish a feat that has been done by only a few in the past.
Tony Stewart is the only team owner-driver in the Chase and if he is able to capture the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship at Homestead in two weeks, Stewart will only be the sixth owner-driver in the 62 year history of NASCAR's top series to pull off that remarkable achievement. This could be Stewart's third series title with his first two championships coming in cars owned by Joe Gibbs.
The first to accomplish this was Herb Thomas, who drove his Hudson Hornets to titles in 1951 and 1953. Next came Lee Petty who took all three of his titles, in 1954, 1958 and 1959, in his own equipment. Buck Baker won the 1957 championship in his own Chevrolet as did Rex White in 1960. The most recent owner-driver to capture the biggest prize in racing was Alan Kulwicki, who drove his "Underbird" Ford to the 1992 championship. Many thought that this could never happen again. Kulwicki would be the last of the independent champions, most authorities proclaimed. The days of a privateer taking the title were over. With the manner in which the sport is structured today, that statement made a lot of sense.
But, it seems, Mr. Stewart is ready to prove those experts wrong. With four wins in the eight Chase events run so far, he has a tremendous momentum coming into the final two events and Tony Stewart just might make NASCAR history in 2011.
