While most attention on Capitol Hill these days centers on the budget sequester—what it means and who is to blame – there are a number of committee hearings that should be of interest. In particular, the House Judiciary Committee has a busy day planned for Tuesday—with three subcommittee hearings on American competitiveness—and another to follow on Thursday. Topics covered in those and other hearings include: immigration reform, patent litigation, the impact of health care reform on small business, wasteful spending, cyber-security and more.
Category: Capitol Hill
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

Tony Roberts Card Magic
Review by Mika Tsoi
Having the ending of this show revealed cannot even spoil it. Roberts takes a deck of cards, asks six members of the audience to shuffle different parts, then he shuffles them again repeatedly, divides them into four piles which are then revealed to be each suit in order, ace to king. It's breathtaking and even more so when you're all sitting around the same table. There's still another 55 minutes of tricks before that, all delivered just as well. Roberts uses the laughs and stories as misdirection, and the ride is nothing but enjoyable. Exceptional close up magic and a great show.

The IEA has once again revised its global oil demand forecast upwards for 2010 – but only by 150,000 barrels per day, to 86.5m b/d.
Meanwhile the agency now has even more conviction that OECD oil demand may well have already peaked – so much so that its latest monthly oil report's first special feature talks of an 'oil-less recovery'.
OECD oil demand fell 4.4 per cent in 2009 according to the latest estimates, and will remain flat this year despite the expected economic growth.
Here are their demand revisions, in the context of GDP forecasts:
Since we first released detailed 2010 projections back in July, the outlook for OECD economic growth has improved from around zero to +2.1%. But over the same period, expected OECD demand has barely changed, averaging 45.5 mb/d this month versus an estimate of 45.2 mb/d then. Even the recent record US and European winter snows look unlikely to revive OECD demand – which remains flat at best in 2010 – an 'oil‐less' recovery indeed.
Although the expected net increase in crude demand – of 1.6m b/d in 2010 – looks consistent with historical correlation between growth and oil prices; the IEA says there are so many "known unknowns" about the economic recovery that it has also provided a low-growth estimate of 1.2m b/d.
Also interesting is the more dramatic disparity between non-OECD GDP forecast rises, and the corresponding increase to expected oil demand:
Meanwhile, forecast 2010 non‐OECD demand has risen from 40 mb/d last July to 41 mb/d now (partly on a higher 2009 base). Anticipated GDP growth here has gone from 4.1% to 6.1%. Global oil demand now takes its cue primarily from rising emerging country incomes.
This, they write, is unsurprising – use of oil for heating in OECD countries has fallen 40 per cent since 2000. It's the same story: automotive, aviation and power generation industries are all getting cleaner:
Environmental imperatives mean that gas, renewables and nuclear power will increasingly be preferred, even if binding climate change targets are stalled for now. Transportation oil use may still grow in the OECD, but here too vehicle efficiency standards and the penetration of biofuels, hybrid and electric vehicles will limit requirements for refinery‐sourced gasoline and diesel. So demand growth in the OECD may well have peaked, with all the negative consequences for OECD refining this implies.
Those refining headaches are not set to go away any time soon, then.

I will be getting a new kitchen table, but would like to save some money and use the same chairs that I already have. The finish on them is all wrong, however. It matches absolutely nothing that I have or have ever had. It is a very light wood tone. I would want to finish them to a medium wood tone.
Is this just going to be way too much trouble? :) I have read some sites where there are SO many steps listed it seems overwhelming. I had originally though I would just use some liquid sandpaper and then stain them. Is that way too naive? They are spindle back chairs, so I'm sure that increases the difficulty level to some degree. Has anyone here ever attempted this? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Without seeing them, I doubt anyone can offer the right advise. Older furnitures tends to be made better and worth refinishing. I would look in the phone book and find out if you can have them dipped. Depending on the spindles it can be a very tedious job. 8 years ago, we paid a company to refinish our oak table and chairs. It was well worth it:) |
Painting them might be easier. I love the look of black painted chairs with a wood table. Then you wouldnt' have to worry about matching stain to table. |
Well, they aren't older, like antique or anything. They are maybe ten years old. Just your typical kitchen chair with a rounded back and spindles. Maybe called windsor style? I suppose painting might be easier. I like black also, but just wouldn't match anything in my kitchen I don't think. So is it just impossible to change the wood color without completely stripping/sanding etc? |
I am planning the same thing as you are, and have decided to paint out the chairs the same colour as my trim work. Have you considered this for your chairs? Would it suit your decor? Is your trimwork painted.. otherwise, maybe I'm just flappin' my gums here. I have a dark kitchen (not light-wise, but cabinets, floor ect) My trim is CIL French White, and currently we have surprisingly extremely sturdy Ikea chairs that are white. The white doesn't quite match the trimwork, so I'll be painting them as soon as my son refinishes and restains the table a darker colour to blend with the cabinets. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen table and chairs
I think it would be fine if your doing a similar color like lobotome (love your kitchen!) white to white. But if you plan on really changing like light wood to dark wood then make sure you refinish them correctly. I mean strip the finish off completely or else you will see a lot of chips since chairs are used so often. |
I'd toss one in the back of my car and haul it to the hardware store. I'd put it in a basket and wheel it in. Then I'd ask in the paint department. :) |

Try checking the Kitchen forum. I've read about several members redoing their stained cabinets with gel stain without stripping. They've figured out something over in "Kitchens" that sounds alot easier than stripping. |
- Posted by newhomebuilder (My Page) on Thu, May 8, 08 at 21:43
I have painted chairs before and it was hard and a mess! The next time I bought a new table, I went to a furniture warehouse type place and bought new chairs at a reasonable price. Much easier! |
Try using Polyshades in an inconspicuous spot to test for color. It's a wood finish with a polyurethane finish coat. I changed a light pine glider to a deep cherry and the finish has held up fine. I'm not sure how it would handle the day to day abuse a kitchen chair gets. I have the same chairs you describe. Your project will be tedious at best. Good luck. |
I'm one of the ones that did my kitchen cabs with the gel stain. Eventhough they look fabulous they don't get the use that a dining chair normally gets. I just imagine the legs and the back (where your belt touches) would be all nicked and damaged. There is not enough polyurethane in the world to prevent that. |
Thanks for all the responses. I'll definitely check the kitchen forum. I would love to try an easy way to refinish these chairs. If it doesn't work long term, I can always buy new ones.... I just thought it might be worth a try... Beautiful kitchen lobotome, thanks for sharing the pic. Painting them the same color as the trim is not something I would have thought of, but may be an easier option than completely refinishing. |
Oh, now I'm excited. I was just reading in the kitchen forum. It sounds like maybe you can use gel stain over the old stain/finish without stripping or sanding them first!? That might be worth a try! |
As someone mentioned already, take a chair in to a reputable paint store for an expert opinion and advice. I recently "freshened up" my dining table. I took the leaf in to my BM paint store & they recommended a light sanding and 4 coats of a poly & it looks wonderful. |

The U.S. House Committee on Appropriations, late yesterday, approved a $2 million increase for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Office of Cosmetics and Colors. Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association (CTFA) President and CEO Pamela Bailey issued the following statement praising the committee's efforts for an increase that will enhance the office's capacity for enforcement, oversight and development of global safety standards for personal care products.
"We are pleased that the House Committee on Appropriations voted to increase FDA funding for consumer protection. Our products literally touch nearly every American every day. Through strong regulatory oversight, made possible by this $2 million increase, consumer confidence in the safety of their products will remain high.
"Consumer safety is the number one priority of the more than 1,000 cosmetic and personal care product companies. Over the years, cosmetic and personal care product companies have worked with FDA to establish a unique partnership in which companies go beyond the requirements of the law to provide additional safety and technical resources and information.
"Our strong partnership with FDA has been put at risk because the Office of Cosmetics and Colors has shrunk to an insufficient level. This increase will enhance consumer protections and provide the cosmetics office with much needed inspectors and compliance officers.

Just when you think Justin Bieber's most shocking style move would be chopping his iconic locks, he busts out an armored accessory like the Ian Finch-Field Steampunk Robot Arm and a futuristic frenzy for the item is sure to ensue.
Finch Field, a master in crafting post-apocalyptic wearable art, created the arm using odds and ends including rivets, nuts, bolts, pocket watch pieces, and LED lighting, to give it a rustic robotic feel. Bieber sports the Steampunk creation in his 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Video,' supporting the Finch-Field's British Colombian-based artistry. Only ten of the limited edition arms will be made and created, each autographed by the artist and bearing its own one-of-a-kind quirks.
The Ian Finch-Field Steampunk Robot Arm is an awesome add-on upper limb accessory and happens to be the coolest in popstar approved prosthetics.

This daylily is kinda pricey so I am really wanting to trade it for something similar or for a few less expensive ones. I saw where you were also interested in iris--would you like to trade a fan of Blueberry Candy and Lady Fingers for TBs 'Sapphire Hills' and 'Shah Jehan'? I also have a small clump of red hot poker I could throw in. Please let me know--Janie |
Thanks anyway Janie, I'm in the process of digging out a huge iris bed & right now feeling quite tired of iris, & I have iris that are so very similar to those 2 already. I quite understand about the daylily, I looked it up & saw it was quite new, but thought I would ask :) Thanks Janie Nancy |

Grapplers hitting stride at right time
By Kyle Salomon
Momentum going into the postseason is a coach's dream, and the Mustang wrestling team is making that dream come true.
The Bronco grapplers put a colossal beat-down on the Putnam City North Panthers Feb. 4 at home with a 48-16 drubbing.
It was the final regular season dual of the year for Mustang as the senior night dual with Putnam City was canceled due to inclement weather on Feb. 6.
It will be two and a half weeks off from live action for the Broncos as their next competition is the regional tournament at Southmoore Feb. 21.
Mustang and Putnam City North competed in 13 matches in their dual instead of 14 because neither squad had a healthy 113-pounder available.
The Broncos won nine out of the 13 matches, and seven out of the nine victories were falls by Mustang.
"We are hitting our stride at a very good time," Mustang head coach Dave Rankin said. "All of the hard work the guys have put in this season is starting to really pay off. We are definitely wrestling the best we have all season as a group."
In the 106-pound weight division, Jason Clark competed for the Broncos. Clark got his first fall of the season. The scrappy Bronco pinned his Putnam City North counterpart in the first period of their match.
"We are really happy for Jason," Rankin said. "He is such a hard worker, so it was really good to see him get a fall for us."
In the 120-pound weight class, Trey Edwards took the mat for MHS. Edwards earned a fall of his own as he pinned his opponent in the first period of the bout.
In the 126-pound weight division, Gage McBride suffered a 6-4 loss in his battle with his Panther opponent.
Gareth Ballard continued his strong season for Mustang in the 132-pound weight class with a second period fall against his opponent.
In the 138-pound weight division, Jordan Kalmeyer earned a first-period fall against his counterpart from PC North.
Robert King got back to his winning ways in the 145-pound weight battle with a first-period fall against the 145-pounder from Putnam City North.
In the 152-pound weight bout, Zac Julian has been battling injuries throughout the season, but he got a third-period fall against his PCN counterpart.
Redmon Wilkerson competed in the 160-pound weight class and posted a 12-8 victory against his opponent.
In the 170-pound weight battle, Zach Butler fell to his Panther counterpart 7-4.
Normal 182-pounder David McCright was out with an illness against Putnam City North. Dylan Watz took the mat in place of McCright. Watz was pinned by his PC North in the third period.
In the 195-pound weight class, Mark Casteneda competed for MHS, falling to his counterpart from PCN 15-5.
Clay Feland competed in the 220-pound weight bout and made quick work of his opponent with a first-period fall.
In the heavyweight division, Dylan Needham earned the victory against his Putnam City North opponent 5-3.
Rankin said they are going to use the time off wisely.
"We are going to use these few weeks off to get healthy and try to stay sharp on the mat," he said. "We are going to do a lot of running for a few days and try to work out some of our injuries, then we will get back on the mat and start preparing for regionals."

I learned how to make return address labels and even how to insert a picture in them, but just can't figure out how to put a border around them using Microsoft Word 2000. I have Googled and Googled this and just casn't find the answer. Anyone here into this and willing to help with this last step? Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Follow-Up Postings:
Zoey, Depending on how your labels are set up, there are several ways to insert a border around each one. If each label is a cell within a table, you can add a border around each cell by clicking Table/Table Properties, then the Table tab, then click Borders & Shading at the bottom. Click "all" at the left to put a border around all cells. Choose the type of border you want and click OK. This probably won't come out right though if you're using sheets of adhesive backed labels, because the borders will probably end up right on the edge of the label. If your labels are set up so that they are just regular lines of text with tabs separating them, you can add a border by drawing a box around each "label" and then formatting the box. You can "skootch" the boxes around by selecting the box and then using the arrow keys to move it (hold down Ctrl to move it just a pixel or two at a time). Copy and paste to each "label." (This method is a lot of work if you have pages and pages of labels.) If the boxes come out so that they are printing on top of your text or causing the text to "move" to another spot, do this: select the box, right click, click "Format Auto Shape" and on the Layout tab, click "behind text." Email me if you need any more help. Kathy |
Kathy, thanks for the info on this. I last did fancy labels when I was using WP...the 80s? In Word, I do my labels in the standard way Tools I know how to change the color and font but how do I add a picture and a border with this method ...or can I? I'm not sure of what you mean by using a table for the labels. Can you help here? Thanks! Maureen |
Maureen--If you download one of the templates from Avery's web site, the file is just a premade table set up with the proper margins for the selected label product. I believe that the way you're doing it, using the Envelopes and Labels function, yields essentially the same file, which is a table also. So you would add a picture just like you would in any document--click where you want the picture to be, choose Insert/Picture, then go from there. Of course, the picture will need to be small enough to fit within the label area. And, you have to copy and paste it into each table cell, as far as I know. To add a border, you'd do it like I describe in my previous post. If you don't know if your file is a table, click the "backwards P" on the toolbar to turn on the paragraph marks. It it's a table, you'll see gray lines indicating the edges of the table cells, with a tiny circle at the end of the last line of text within each cell/label. If your file is not a table, you'll just see a paragraph mark (backwards P) at the end of each line of text. I hope this all makes sense! If not, feel free to email your file to me and I'll try help you that way. |
For a plain box border for labels (and I'm working with Word 97 here, believe Word 2000 is a bit different): 1. Click on Tools...Envelopes & Labels Now in Word 2000, I believe you can right click on the table (the grid on the page) & either in Table Properties or Cell Properties, you can set the indentation there. My memory's rusty re Word 2000. |
MsAzadi, up to Word 97, you couldn't put a graphic in a label. Not sure about Word 2000. But if you have Word XP, you can try this: 1. Tools...Envelopes & Labels... Simply click on New Document (I'm assuming you've selected your label size already). 2. You should see a page of blank labels (just the table). 3. In Toolbars... turn on the drawing tool bar & the mail merge tool bar. 4. Using the drawing tool bar, insert a text box in the first label. Type your address in the text box. Turn the border on or off, as you like. 5. To the left of the text box, insert a picture (from Insert... in the menu bar). You might have to right click on the picture and edit the word wrap option so the picture doesn't bump the text box off the label. 6. Using the mail merge tool bar, click the Propagate Labels button. This copies whatever is in the first label to all the other labels on the page. 7. For just a simple box border & no picture, place a text box in the first label, type your address in it & set the border color, then click the Propagate Labels button in the Mail Merge tool bar. |
Here at work I have 2000 and at home I have a Mac with its own screwy version of Word. LOL...I'm keeping the instructions to test out post-Christmas, and thank you all very much. Maureen |

Hi! I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to help me with this. I haven't quite mastered it yet. Not sure if it is me or Word 2000 or a little of both!!!! Kathy, you were right about the borders ending up right on the edge of the labels. At least I now know it's not me. In Word 2000 I have a option to use art borders such as holly, pumpkins...you get the idea. I was trying to do this for my label borders, but have come to the conclusion it can only be used for page borders. Oh, well..... Thanks, |

ReDiscovering Mary Magdalene (2001)
Who was Mary Magdalene? Was she a prostitute – or a priestess? Strong and independent women often feel there is no true place for them in the Judeo-Christian traditions. What would it mean to our culture if Mary Magdalene emerged as a model of courage, wisdom and partnership? Take a journey of remembrance to the roots of the sacred feminine in western culture. We follow a group of actors preparing to present the play My Magdalene by Lila Sophia and David Tresemer, while the authors and others describe and comment on research into new understandings of Mary Magdalene.

This movie was wonderful!.
It brought the truth out about Mary Magdalene and the priestess she was. So recommend this film to all.

Thank you for this film. I am reading The Magdalen Manuscript - The Alchemies of Horus & The Sex Magic of Isis by Tom Kenyon and Judi Sion. The beginning is a channeling of Mary Magdalene as she tells the story of her and Yeshua and the role she played. This is all exciting information that brings hope and relief!

I knew Sharleen was going to be the oddest bird "The Bachelor" ever did see. On last night's premiere, I was shocked to see Juan Pablo decide to give his first impression rose to well-traveled opera singer, Sharleen. The smart girl who reads Haruki Murakami gets the rose for once? What show am I watching?! I thought. And then my mouth really dropped when Sharleen was very clearly unhappy and weirded out about getting the rose, because she wasn't feeling Juan Pablo as much as he was feeling her. So uncomfy was Sharleen that I almost expected her to turn it down and walk out the door in favor of doing math problems or something. I predicted yesterday that Sharleen wouldn't have a shot at the final rose and she still doesn't — because she won't want it. Clip above!

EW reviews the latest in chick lit
THE JOURNAL OF MORTIFYING MOMENTS, by Robyn Harding
On orders from her therapist, 31-year-old Kerry Spence records her most
humiliating escapades.
Source of Angst
''Gorgeous Sam,'' the charming ex who tortures her with off-and-on declarations of love.
Embarrassing Anecdote
On a London trip, college-age Kerry makes out with a cutie at a
pub...but later learns he's her first cousin.
Despite the overly familiar quandary of handsome heartbreaker vs. honest
nice guy, Journal scores with Kerry's laugh-out-loud tales of shame (she
has a one-night stand with a musician who steals her TV!). B+
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, by Lauren Henderson
The three-way friendship of shy Jude, sexy Sally, and womanizing Michael
is tested by adventures of the nonplatonic kind.
Sources of Angst
Romantic tension, unplanned pregnancies, and a maniacally self-absorbed
Embarrassing Anecdote
The spectacularly uncomfortable viewing of la mademoiselle's
Henderson's Brit wit adds Continental sheen, but two of the three main
characters are too unlikable. Fans of Henderson's sleuthing Sam Jones
series won't find any crimes to solve other than ones of the heart. B-
KISSING IN TECHNICOLOR, by Jane Mendle
Slightly neurotic NYC film student Charlie tolls on her first feature
while loving and loathing Hank, her on- and offscreen leading man.
Source of Angst
Hank, a hunky high-profile soap star with a penchant for Brazilian
models and bossiness.
Embarrassing Anecdote
An exhausted, tipsy Charlie ends up soaked and shivering in banana vodka
(don't ask).
Mendle, a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, adds intelligence
to the genre. And while Hank remains inscrutable, Charlie is both
realistically flawed and endearing. B+

Could It Be Hypothyroidism?
After my youngest child was born, I never lost the baby weight. Even after nine pounds of baby, and fifteen pounds of baby related goo were expelled from my body, I stepped on the scale to find that I had dropped a mere two pounds. Two pounds that I quickly gained back once my milk came in.
With every other child, I had lost all of the weight I gained. I had maintained a size six through seven children and I just didn't understand why number eight was so different.
Doctors told me that I was over forty and I should expect my body to slow down. I accepted that explanation with only a little whining.
Then my hair began to break off in irregular spots. It was nearly to the middle of my back but in some places it was up to my shoulders. My skin was so dry that it peeled and cracked. I was exhausted all the time.
I had a lot of seemingly unrelated symptoms. I didn't sleep well. I had trouble concentrating. I gained weight on less than 1,000 calories a day.
I get my medical care at the VA and I asked my primary care physician to order tests. She refused. Finally I changed doctors and my new doctor did order tests but they all came back within normal limits. Luckily he believed me when I said something was wrong. He ordered a sonogram.
Tumors – nine of them. The thyroid came out. I was put on medications. I have lost 30 plus pounds and, while I am not at a size six yet, I am a size eight. I still can't eat much but my hair is past my shoulders.
Could your symptoms be Hypothyroidism? If you have these symptoms, it really could be.
- Heavy periods
- Exhaustion
- Intolerance to cold
- Joint pain
- Blurred vision
- Difficulty in concentrating
- Constipation
- Dry skin
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Thinning eyebrows
- Puffiness
- Brittle nails
- Paleness
- Irregular periods
There are a number of symptoms that can occur in varying degrees, and the problem is that these symptoms can also be symptoms of normal aging.
Even if your thyroid levels seem normal, you may need to pursue more definitive tests. A sonogram can show cysts and nodules that can't be picked up in some of the other tests.
For me, having my thyroid out made a difference, although the difference wasn't as drastic as I had hoped. I am feeling better and more energetic, but I still have moments and even days when I am just too tired to function well. I have to keep my thyroid issues in mind and cut myself some slack.
You know your body better than any doctor. If you suspect that you are suffering from hypothyroidism, be sure to talk to your doctor. If you don't get the answers you are looking for, be persistent. Had I accepted that my weight gain was a normal part of my aging process, my tumors could have become really life threatening.

Car companies have inflated forecourt prices by up to a third to claw back scrappage discounts, an undercover investigation has found.
Motor manufacturers are accused of using the Government-sponsored "cash-for-bangers" scheme as a smokescreen to usher in inflation-busting increases.
'What Car?' magazine sent a team of secret shoppers check on prices at hundreds of car dealers around the country. They found that retail prices overall jumped by an average of nine per cent in the past 12 months.
Ford hit buyers of its Fiesta 1.25 60 Studio with the highest rise of more than 36 per cent. The firm's Mondeo 1.6 110 Edge, which went up by 19 per cent, also appears in a league table listing the five biggest price rises along with its Focus 1.6 Zetec that jumped 17.6 per cent.
The increases have in many cases wiped out the £2,000 discount given buyers trading in ten-year-old vehicles under the terms of Lord Mandelson's £400 million scrappage initiative.
The US car giant claimed that price rises in the UK were essential to offset the effect of the weak pound which make foreign-made goods more expensive to import to Britain.
But Peter Lawto, deputy editor of 'What Car?', said manufacturers are "hiding price increases" in scrappage scheme deals.
"Some of the price rises take your breath away. We have some sympathy for car manufacturers but this is opportunist so we shouldn't feel too sorry for them," he said.
"There is certainly an element of clawing back cash. They are making a killing off those people paying the list price."
"We are seeing a pinch at both ends with prices going up and discounts falling."
The secret shoppers also found that hagglers are now offered smaller discounts – around £200 less than a year ago.
They were able to negotiate an average £1,699 off the windscreen price aside from any scrappage discount.
Renault is currently the most generous manufacturer with a typical £2,009 off – 13 per cent on average – while Mini is the stingiest with savings of just £125 or 1 per cent off its cars.
Ford refuted the accusation that it has taken advantage of the scheme to usher in price increases.
A company spokesman said Sterling has devalued by more than 30 per cent in the last 18 months and claimed that price rises were kept below that figure by cutting production costs to "limit the impact."
"The weakness of the Pound has had a huge negative impact on Ford's UK business," he said.
"The sustained and severe weakness of Sterling against the euro since the end of 2007 has forced the majority of the UK auto industry to raise prices."
"Price increases are driven by the need to maintain a viable business and to recover relative cost increases caused by the weakness of the Pound over an extended period."
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the pound was worth 23 per cent less last year against the euro than in 2007 and also insists that this is to blame for the majority of increases.
"The exchange rate has been the main driver on price changes," said a spokesman.

Check out these Photography Tricks images:
Miracle in Iceland
Image by Stuck in Customs
This comes from my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
A good photographer friend in Iceland named Asmundur took me out around the southern part of the island for a bit of shooting. One of his favorite spots that he introduced me to was this little church that sat by itself on a hill. There was a small cemetery nearby where I set up to take this shot.
The skies in Iceland always seem to be idyllic. The icy cloud particles often stream out in impressionist formations, and the HDR technique really helps to bring back the color I saw and felt when I was there on the scene.

Hi! I'm Ang from the Philippines! I got into healthy cooking recently, and I thought aloud, how I wished I had all the herbs I needed in my garden. A few days later, my brother brought home little pots of various herbs, like, Purple Basil, Holy Basil, Thai Basil, Stevia, Arugula, Japanese Mint, Chocolate Mint, Peppermint, etc. Here's the thing: I don't know what to do. I have no background in gardening. I don't know if I should water them? repot them? Help??? |

- Posted by wally-1936 8b (My Page) on Thu, Apr 18, 13 at 10:56
You should do a good web search on each herb for quick information. If you have the room they all need to be put into the ground soon. I understand that holy basil is a perennial and the rest of the basil's are annuals. The mints are perennials that love moist soils and can become invasive under the right conditions. Not sure how they would fare where you live. Do you have a extension agent in your country, if so they would be great in helping you with understanding how well they grow there. I do not know if there are any more members of this website who live in your area but if so they may be able to be of more help as to how to better grow them there. |
- Posted by fatamorgana 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 18, 13 at 16:16
If you don't have a place to plant them in the ground, you may wish to check out the Container Gardening forum since it will have all sorts of really good advice on growing plants in pots. FataMorgana |
A quick answer to one question....YES, they will need to be watered! Do you have a friend or neighbor who may be able to act as a mentor to you, giving you some help and advice? You sure have a very nice brother! |
Hello, Ang... Here's a source that may be helpful : "In the Philippine climate, especially in the lowlands, growing herbs may be challenging to the beginner. But that is exactly why we have this website! To take away all the guesswork so you can easily understand the unique requirements of each herb for the Philippines. Soon, you'll be filling your pots with your very own herb collection and be the envy of all your guests! Jan |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gardening in the Phillipines
I would think that any herb would grow year round for you. You don't get frosts, do you? I lived in 9b. Vero Beach. Florida for a few years and plants most people called annuals lived for years for me. Good luck with your herbs. If you can't plant them in the ground (the best place for them) please put them in much bigger pots and water them regularly. Not sure how much rainfall you get. If it rains, you don't have to water. |

Final Thoughts
Many companies have attempted to make a passive cooler work. Some have included the hardware to mount a fan and some have not. The latter category products have pretty much all failed to impress anyone not running a specialty CPU that uses low voltage, i.e. low performance, underclocked from the factory.
The other category is passive CPU coolers that have the option or even require an aftermarket fan; they've always done pretty well. The end user can chose what type of cooling performance to acoustic noise ratio they prefer. The downside of this is of course cost as you have to calculate the fan and cooler cost. In today's test we used a 40 Dollar cooler with a 16 Dollar fan making the total just under 60 Dollars total.
Looking at our two performance charts there are many other coolers that I would personally choose over the ASUS Triton 75 in this price range, but then again these coolers do not match the Triton 75 in terms of customization for the end user.

What are you all doing to get them to flower like that? Is it age? Heat? Fertilizer? Location? Please help me guys..... It's in my greenhouse and temps are kept between 55 to 62 by night, and 60's and 70's by day. Mine is about 1 year old and is about 3 feet tall. It has not grown a new leaf since last October, sort of dormant, and now many of the leaves are developing yellow spots and then they just disaappear into holes....I don't get it. Absolutely no bugs and I for the life of me wonder if it's normal? Very discouaraging to say the least. If you need a pic, I will gladly provide when tomorrow. Yours are just beautiful and I hope to someday see what it's like to have a flower like that. It's the only plant giving me something I do not want at the moment:-( Thank you Mike |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Mon, Jan 7, 13 at 13:44
Sorry to hear that, Mike! Sounds like it could be a fungal issue? The Tabernaemontana holstii I grew from Logee's was very easy to grow and flower. I never had any issues (just didn't care for the scent). What kind of potting mix is it in? What kind of light? -Robert |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 7, 13 at 15:42
It's in the 5.1.1. mix Robert and in the ebst light possible. It did great all last winter in the greenhouse and now this year not good. I'll post a pic. It looks like a fungal issue but I have been spraying for weeks for that and all other plants are fine. Look here for me tomorrow, ok? Thank you! |
I've got one that I think is a T holstii. First time I see an africana. Wonder what's the difference. And I have been hoping it will fruit. |
Mike, I don't know what could be wrong with it, for me it's exactly the opposite, it is practically the only plant that takes care of itself, never got any pest, not even spider mites that thrive all around it..The only thing that might change smth is that I never moved it outside in the summer & my substrate, I kept it in the tiny for its size pot it came in for the first 8-9 months and I only transplanted it in a slightly bigger one around two months ago with coconut fiber,peat and perlite (I did it because it started needing watering everyday otherwise it didn't seem to mind the tiny pot,it kept growing ever larger leaves and dark green) Tolip, I think I read some say they are the same plant, mine didn't fruit.. not surprisingly since flowers are too long and in my opininion need a specialised pollinator! Maybe I'll give it a try when I return from work..The fragrance for me is like a mix of stephanotis, lilium and clove, what about holstii?? |
My daphne has been blooming since New year and it smells soooooooooooooo nice! I'll post a pic later this weekend. Fenius, that looks pretty! I've always wanted a Tabernaemontana africana :). Robert sent me some cuttings last year but they didn't take. |
Hi kem! welcome back, I can try to root one for you too when it starts getting bigger, I also got a daphne odora aureosmth after you raved about it a while back, but mine is too small to bloom yet.. |
Yay fenius! If you manage to get one to root please let me know. Thanks for the offer! : ) Okay here is a shot of my daphne. It has a spicy floral-lemony scent. Very strongly fragrant. Reminds me of a lemongrass+ginger perfume scent. |
Daphne flowers on last year's growth so there is a chance that yours may bloom this year. I started this tiny cutting last summer and it's also blooming right now: |

Hey Guys, and by the way HELLO Kemistry! Where in the world do you get this plant!? Please, let me know where to get one. Thanks so much guys! Yours are so beautiful! What is the exact name of that Dafne? MIke |
This post was edited by meyermike_1micha on Sat, Jan 12, 13 at 8:53
Mike, here, Winter Daphnes are available locally. I read somewhere that it's hardy to zone 7?? At your place you will probably have to grow it in container. I thought you already grew it in the past?? Here is a link from FF If you do a google search, I'm sure you will see more vendors out there. :) |

Hello Kemistry and Robert! First off, thank you Robert for that info! I had no idea you could grow Daphne in pots! Kemistry, the fact that yours is in a pot is throwing me off a bit. I did not know I could grow them in a pot. I had no idea they could be grown as a houseplant. Very interesting...Thank you Mike |

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to say Happy New Year to you all !! Thank you Fenius for this beautiful thread and especially to those who have posted these gorgeous pictures!! what a great feeling to look at these beauties and think of the fragrance they must have.... 'Mmmmm, Wish I could smell them!!! Take care, Laura |
Hey Laura! get the pictures rolling for the new year!! Robert, thanks for the daphne info, what book is it by the way? Kemistry, it's odora I assume? Mine is odora aureomarginata, couldn't find the non variegated one anywhere, as I'm not fond of variegated plants..But for the scent's sake..! |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Mon, Jan 14, 13 at 15:27
fenius, It's from a little book I've been reading a lot of lately - -Robert |
Fenius, yup it's an odora. I don't like variegated plants either but a variegated daphne in my opinion does look pretty. I've sniffed Daphne bholua which has a nice scent but the fragrance isn't as awesome as the odora's. Hey Mike! : ) This is my second year growing the daphne and it's growing quite slow so i haven't switched its soil yet. I will do that in the Summer. I hear that it's a bit fussy when it comes to root work. Oh well, I figure I can buy a new one if it doesn't live. Lol. The scent is so nice so it is worth growing and replacing imo. Lol. Robert. I'm interested in hearing about the stinky flowers. Lol. Hi Laura! :) |
Hi, everyone: My Osmanthus Fragrans 'Fudingzhu' is sending out another round of flowers. And I can see a lot of buddings are developing, am very pleased for the great performance for such a small plant. Hmm, never heard about Tabernaemontana africana. And I only have not been here for 2 weeks, 'Daphne odora' is the one everybody looking for now? Just can not keep up with you guys/gals. :) |
Hi! Well done for no brown leaf tips on osmanthus!! I keep it outside and noticed it sent out new leaves, hopefully they will stay green...Mine must be the only osmanthus not blooming now :-( |
Ok, I have one more but I'm not responsible for it, I got it blooming!Kemistry, the scent has improved some today, you were right!Cymbidium goeringii longibracteatum |
here's what's been smelling so nice in my apartment this week. that Pink one started white ... about 4 days later - it got that pretty pink shade, just as the other two opened. I know it's on the way out... but, it's still really quite a pretty color. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 18:55
Laura..Same to you too:-). I am hoping that you and your family are doing ok and that little gem of yours, your grandchild that is and then all those fragrant plants you have! Robert..Umm, I wouldn't have time for teh stinky part too.lol Kemistry...Please, I have one now, a variegated one. I really need to know. Do you let it go Dormant, exposed to cold temps and then bring it back into warmer temps in the spring? Fenius!!! Absolutely beautiful! How's the fragrance now? Rosey..How long do the flowers last? I thinks it looks very nice. |
the flowers didn't last long enough... I got home last night and the purple one had withered down to nothing, and the 2 white ones had already started turning pink... as of this morning, maybe because I cranked the heat with the "COLD" outside ... and wanting to warm up when I got in, in a very urgent way... those 2 other blossoms dropped off. (so sad) the only thing that's blooming in my apartment right now - is the new orchid (scentless) and my seedless geranium. (WHICH IS DOING REALLY WELL! - as one bloom dies, the next one replaces it. and, I could see about 6 stems where new ones will be up, and soon when I was pulling some dead leaves off of it this morning. Still - kinda' sad - all those plants and so little scent. I may need to put my lavender plant closer to the couch so that I have something to sniff when I snuggle with the cats. Mike, it's not the size of the plant, it's the light that will bring the flowers. My friend has the same plant - because I gave her half of mine - and she keeps it in a indirect light spot in her home. It's thriving - but no flowers. but who am I to talk... one of my other jasmines didn't survive the change of seasons. it lost all its leaves and while I keep hoping that something will grow back (being in a south window n all) - and I water it... not a sign of life. My night jasmine has come back to life though! - despite all the leaves falling off from mites. - the leaves are back and growing. I still need to buy some insecticides though - because I know those mites will return. (bah- humbug) - now that one actually makes sense. :) |

Those DANG MITES! I hate them. It's seems to be a constant battle to fight them off this year! Where the heck do they come from anyways when the plants you bring in from outside are very clean for weeks!? Now, I have to get a Sambac come the spring Fenius. Robert even said they smell mightedly nice. Where do you suggest I get a nice sized plant buddy!? Rosey..I hear you about the heat. It seems that the minute this very DRY weather comes and the heat is on, even the skin on my legs becomes like prunes! Fenius..A HUGE question???? How in the world are you getting your orchids to flower like that? I recieved 3 Cymbidiums over 2 months ago and nothing! Rosey, I had to take a second look at your flowers. Thanks everyone! |
ok, first of all,sambacs do get mites .. I got two of them from dhan on ebay (mysore mulli and mali pikul) and my third from a local nursery which turned out to be arabian nights,now there are only 5 more to go!! the small ones from dhan flowered too last summer! About the cymbidiums, I got them on ebay as well, from new-china or smth, I got almost all their fragrant ones around x-mas and now I see two new ensifoliums that I need but I'm going to restrain myself.. The others don't have buds, it must be the season for the goeringiis only.. The fragrance was strange on the first day, like a ripe fruit almost, but then it improved, then it kind of disappeared, but today I took it outside to take photos and I don't know if it was the cold the humidity or the sun but it gave off the most wonderful scent, nothing like you would expect from a flower, more like a perfume! It's a pity that I can't detect it inside, I thought their scent was supposed to be rather intense in closed spaces..I'll go ask around in the orchid forum what's up with that.. |

We walked into the house around 10pm after having dinner over at some friend's house and was very happy to detect a familiar scent in the dead of winter. Cestrum nocturnum in the kitchen! I know I shouldn't allow cuttings to bloom but I've noticed the bloom developing for days now and couldn't resist and I'm glad I didn't. 5 open blooms and even my partner knew what they were after I stuck them under his nose. :) -Robert |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Thu, Jan 24, 13 at 9:22
Oh, almost forgot. I've been reading a dangerous book - Fragrant Orchids by Steven A. Frowine (fenius, I think you'd totally dig it...not that you need anymore orchids). ;) There's scent descriptions along with intensity of scent (light, strong, very strong), when they bloom, ease of culture, etc. Apparently there's some real stinkers in the bulbophyllum genus. My fav description is of B. beccarii which is said to smell like 100 dead elephants rotting in the sun. Yuck! -Robert |
Robert, I'm envying your odorous gift. :) If the mites will give me any relief - I'm hoping my night jasmine will bloom again... I'm happy to see the leaves. She's being kept in the warmest and sunniest room in the apartment. Mites... where isn't there mites? Actually my MOO doesn't seem to have them, this season, though she's sparse of leaves because my Isabelle 'cat' loves to eat them. The mites had taken over the night jasmine, and they love my honey-suckle. I'm constantly checking to see if they've returned to my Tahitian Gardenia - but haven't found any more sticky leaves in a while. Maybe my bedroom is to cold for them??? is 60s to cold? the honeysuckle room temps are between 60-75 - depending whether I'm home or not. Last night, I couldn't seem to warm up - and, I cranked up the heat. No, I'm sure it's not good for the plants - but, I felt like the traveling between work/home had allowed the cold to settle into my bones and I couldn't seem to warm them. I've been drinking a LOT of tea, and because I still have the cough from christmas - I was recommended to drink hot gingerale with ginger - and, that seems to help with the cough (at least until I go out in the cold - and then! the cold isn't good for my lungs)... I sure hope this cold spell goes away and quick. I just don't like it. |
get well soon rosey!!I checked out your other site wet canvas for botanical painting.. robert, cool cutting!! actually I never thought of having a night jasmine, maybe because it's more common than basil here, it's in every balcony, shop and restaurant in the summer...it reminds me of my aunt's balcony when I used to go and play cards w/ her! Cool bulbophyllum scent description, the guys in my greek forum say they grow some b. that smells like fish instead! |
thanks, fenius... I'm not sick, really! It's just a residual cough. and, I don't want any plants smelling like fish. what a strange thought that they could smell like that... were they planted using fish fertilizer? |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Thu, Jan 24, 13 at 13:40
Rosey, Yes. It was a special treat. Looking forward to sniffing them again tonight! I also battle the damn spider mites. :( As for the stinky fish flower that fenius brought up...there are some flowers that smell like carrion (dead stuff) to attract flies or beetles or what not to pollinate them. We're just used to the sweet smelling flowers that attract bees and butterflies and what not. :) I once received a Voodoo lily like fenius mentioned and it was a really cool looking plant until it flowered. Dear god did it ever smell awful! I snipped that flower off in a hurry. ;) -Robert |
it's interesting how plants have developed ways to protect themselves similar to how animals or bugs do. I know where I can get loads of skunk cabbage - but why would I want em? :) |
Lots of reasons Rosey! for instance, a friend dug up a bunch of dragon lilies to plant by her fence next to her annoying neighbour!! I can think of many more... |
Well, they re beautiful... And if the fence is a good distance away... Why not? One can admire those from a distance at least... Skunk cabbage don't have a bloom that I've noticed. |
Hello everyone!! Okay my brunfelsia gigantea has been blooming on and off since last Fall. It has 2 flowers on it right now. Love the fresh, sweet, perfumey scent at night! This plant is so easy to grow! : ) |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 25, 13 at 10:05
Roesy.. That darn cough! I hope you have had yourself checked out and made sure your lungs are clean.. Kemistry, I know what you mean. How sweet they smell. I just had my last flower fall off:-( Do you ever get notching, curling, or bumpy leaves on these plants with no cause from bugs? Maybe let's say, improper watering? My new leaves always look strange. I shall have to take a pic to see if anyone else has this problem. Robert..A Voodo lily? I never heard of that one before. Hello Fenius:-) Rosey, get better and be healthy. You have two weeks!:-)))) Mike |
as promised, my orchid. Ok, I have to share this... so I had to look up 'dragon lily'... because Id never heard of them - and low and behold - all that came up was mention of a p@rn star by that nickname. Knowing that Fenius' friend didn't bury a whole bunch of her tapes along the fence - I made sure that my search referenced "PLANT". (thought you all could use a giggle) My mandavilla is long and leggy, and when I water her, leaves fall off - but despite all this ... she's starting to flower again. Her vine is over 4 feet tall and pressing up against to top of the window. I'm considering that I should trim her down only because she's only one long vine, and I wish she'd fill out. Mikey, I swear I'm not sick. I suck on hard candy all day long, and it keeps most of the coughing to a minimum. Milk products and coffee seems to make me cough again though. It seems to be more throat related than lungs. just clarifying, that's all. |
Hey Mike. Yah sometimes the new leaves on mine do get the curling problem but i suspect it could be from the cold weather? But what do I know. Lol. I ignore it as it doesn't seem to cause any damage to the plant. Robert you had a Voodo lily??? That's funny. I read about its stinky scent the other day. Not that I would grow one. Lol. Yay Fenius! I'm glad to hear that your Cym. goeringii has a nice scent. I want to retry the cym. ensifolium this year. I'm interested in orchid now --and I blame Robert for sending me all the names of the must-have orchids from his book. Lol-- Mike.. about daphne odora.. Judging from my plant I've found that after it is done blooming it'll start growing --branching, then leaves, then buds---This ends around early summer. Then it does nothing for the rest of the year. Around Decemember the buds start to mature and it blooms in Jan. Mine stays evergreen because I keep it indoors. But the plants that are growing outdoors around here will lose their leaves during the winter. Roseyd- nice sambac! But yah the floewrs of Maid of Orleans only last 1 day. My Maid kept getting powdery mildew so I threw her out. You should look into getting a Belle of India. Belle's flowers stay on the plant longer. Speaking of stinky plants.. the common curry plant (Helichrysum angustifolium) really stinks in my opinion. Yuck. Oh, recently I started some lemon eucalyptus and the tiny seedlings give off a nice lemony scent already. Here is a pic: |
The Montana tab... Clippings I got from mrao ... They're growing! The other two... I keep watering but no signs of life, still twigs. Still made the heart feel good to see those little stems growing out the side of the Montana leaves. I'm still waiting to see what will come of my Jasmine polyanthum plant. It still so delicate and tiny... Although it has the best spot in the house ... A southern window sill. I'm hoping that the moo will give me more buds... Those 3 can't be all... What a tease! I want more! |

Thanks Robert! ...and you bet I am! I really enjoy reading the post here and "stealing" ideas for new plants. What an adventure! Twyla |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 11:36
Ha! You made me laugh. This forum is full of enablers. ;) I love it when people share their favorite fragrant plants. I've gotten tons of plants that way! :) Oh, your B. nodosa looks a little different from mine. Are you sure it's the species and not a hybrid like 'Little Stars'? -Robert |
- Posted by greengirl2009 7b (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 13:18
Hi Robert, Really not sure...you could be correct. This one did not have it's label and I have several. Sorry. |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 15:20
No worries. I love to see blooms in the winter. Please keep them coming! :) |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 18:33
Fenius...Can I see a picture of your Samoen Gardenia in the picture you posted next to your cat? I mean, just teh whole plant by itself so I can get an idea of what mine should look like:-) From this angle, it's beautiful. Greengirl.Wow, what a beautiful flower. Do they really have a nice strong fragrance at night? Robert, can I enable you to get a Cammelia? You should see mine. I will take a picture of it tomorrow. Oh Rosey! That orchid is spectacular! I love the colors. Now, all you have to do is add another to give your orchid a partner:-) Kemistry... Thank you so much for your help. I really hope mine does well. It's in a sunny window and for 6 bucks, I have to say it's very tiny. Lemon eucalyptus? Here we go again. A must have, and where did you get the seeds? lol |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 7, 13 at 9:21
Fenius! That is a beautiful plant! How in the world did you get it to flower? I've had mine going on two years and it's in the greenhouse. You would think it there it would do great, but no. I don't understand this plant at all. Great job ! Mike |

I've been using this product for about 6-weeks now and really love this mask/exfoliator. I use it more often then is suggested because it seems to be working so well.
I am really wowed with the results. At first, I used this 2-3 days a week. I clarsonic and apply this mask. I scrub it in for a few minutes and leave it for about 10 minutes and scrub it off. I saw results almost immediately. My skin has never felt so soft and clean. The red marks are faded or gone completely and I also see a fading of my freckles and an overall brightness. At first my skin would turn red after a few minutes which got me a little worried but I had no side effects but the initial reddening from the lactic acid. I now use it pretty much every day for about 20 minutes. I no longer get red but it still works really well at deep cleaning, keeping acne away and brightening my complexion by reducing hyper pigmentation of all kinds.
I've been used PTR products for years. I realy wanted this resurfacer worked on my face as a once-a-week peeling product, but it did not. I gave it three chances and every time my skin broke up, and the skin appeared to be rough with redish dots which lasted and lasted for weeks. I tried different methods like with/without massage, reduced the effect-time etc. Nothing worked. It could be that my skin is intolerant to some ingredient(s) in the product. By the way, the product is very ample.
More reviews by TacoFlavoredKisses
This is a wonderful chemical as well as manual exfoliator- much like ExfoliKate- EXCEPT definitely not as harsh! If you are one who thinks ExfoliKate is great but a little too harsh on sensitive skin, and leaves your skin quite reddened and angry, you will love this PTR Clinical Peel and Reveal Dermal Resurfacer. It is so much more gentle, and yet, it gave me the same, if not better results as my beloved ExfoliKate! Plus, this comes in a 3.4oz tube and is a little less $$$ than Kate. PLUS! This smells like heavenly pumpkin!! When I'd use ExfoliKate, I'd always have a really red face (irritated) for sometimes hours after I used it.... but not with the PTR. My skin felt firmed up, smooth, shiny, and perfectly exfoliated!! I may just have to start buying this over my precious Kate :/
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i bought this a few weeks ago at Sephora and im very impressed. at first i was a little leery because of the price ($58) for such a little tube but a little goes a long way. it smells amazing (pumpkin but not artificial... it smells good enough to eat!!) and the smell is in no way overpowering. the aluminum oxide scrubbers are small and dont feel scratchy on my skin. i leave it on for 15 minutes (i have a high tolerance for peels) then rinse off with a warm washcloth. my skin is soft and glowy.. not the least bit red or irritated. i use this after using my clarisonic and my skin has never looked brighter or better. i am a fan of PTR line of products and i would repurchase this again
the sales woman said this is the same formula he used for a pumpkin enzyme peel/ mask except this has a micro polishing component. i never used the original pumpkin peel/ mask so i cant speak to whether it compares but i am definitly a fan of this product
