Topanga canyon here. I would like to do local trades if there is anyone that lies within a reasonable driving distance. I think it would help everyone if people would list the city or local vicinity where they live so that a person can see if a local trade is posseible . oscar |

Hi there. Hope you are doing well. Don't know if you remember me but I live in Riverside. Aren't you the one that had the fire come and burn some of your house? I think it got your roses and your barn? I have rose cuttings if you are still in need of some. LMK Take care, |
- Posted by leesgarden z9 So. CA (My Page) on Sun, Oct 3, 04 at 10:21
Hey Norma! Of course I remember you. Yup, lost our barn and yards and fencing in the fire. Hard to believe it's been almost a year since it all happened. Well it was proof of how amazing God made plants - almost everything I had came I would totally take you up on your offer, except that we are selling our house and moving to Colorado. But I have been working really hard in the garden areas and making new ones, so if you have stuff you really want to get rid of, I would gladly come and take it off your hands. I just finished landscaping our one side yard, and planted 2 cherry trees, 6 poplars, 12 irises, and 8 zonal geraniums (all of which were propagated except the cherry trees). It is so much fun, but I was exhausted afterwards. If you know anybody looking for a home with lots of room for horses and/or gardening, let me know :) Happy gardening, |

Good evening from 92120 (near Qualcom Stadium in San Diego). I am very interested in finding some seeds or plants for my garden. I have some very easy plants (spider plants and small elephant ears) to trade/exchange. I am mostly looking for veggies but am open to almost anything. Right now I am raiding the health food stores and seeing what I can grow from there. I might have a couple of other things but looking for what might be available. Also working on my compost tumbler and worms... making great DIRT! |

Hello from Glendora! I recently relocated to SoCal from Portland, OR, so I'm having to learn how to garden all over again. My new place has mostly grass (but not for long), so I don't have much to offer in trade, but I do have a giant bird of paradise that needs a new home. I'm looking for vegetable seeds (especially heirloom melons and tomatoes), herbs, flower seeds or plants, brugs, gardenias, and pretty much anything else that will grow here. I'd also be glad to meet other gardeners in the area. |

My wants & haves have changed, see below. Wow Rundy, so great to find a gardening neighbor, you sure are close! I don't have much more space in my garden... also I have a feeling we're going to have a frost this year, so not sure I want to do much planting til the cold season is over. You should check out the California Rare Fruit Growers West LA Chapter, or the Venice High School Learning Garden Free Seed Library for both great community + the things you're looking for. Plus they have the best local community potluck in the garden every Fri at 12:30pm. OK, here are my lists: WANT: HAVE: POSSIBLY WILL HAVE SOON, or will get eventually: Please email me direct by clicking my idea, I don't check this site regularly Best wishes, |

I am new to this. Doing seed and plant exchanges. I would love to talk to others who live in this general area to discuss things like gophers, rabbits, protecting your garden from these pests; dealing with rattlesnakes in the garden area, etc. Our soil has lots of clay in it and the process for soil enchancement. We have over 40 acres and I would love to do a major garden but I am planning to start really small. =) |
I'm new to this website & new gardener here in San Diego. I'd like to find locals to swap seeds/plants/garden items with. I have sprouts growing (yea!) of several veggies & mixed flowers. Nothing too fancy (I'm a newbie, I want to be encouraged by my efforts). But I can already see that I will have several veggies to offer. Even swapping plants for excess pots or soil would be very helpful for me. I've planted: Lettuce* &I'm pretty sure every seed sprouted! Tomatos* I mixed the types...I wish I hadn't done that..rookie mistake, made several times Peppers, mixed bell & hot cucumbers* okra* carrots*--shorts & longs (I did seperate these..lucky) onions cilantro lincoln peas* brussell sprouts* cantelope pumpkin* watermelon gourds butterfly weed lavender mixed floral * rosemary* mixed sunflower* * indicates currently sprouted. I don't believe any of these are just yet ready for transplant, they're still pretty tiny. But I'd love to trade my excess, like I said for your excess soil, containers or sprouts/plants that I do not have. Also I have seeds for almost all of the above plants listed. I live in the 92124 zipcode area. |

My name is Tricia and I am in Temecula, CA. I am interested in trading succulents and cacti for other indoor and outdoor plants. I have lots of ice plants, aloes, various types and sizes. Aeonium especially, clippings and rooted, available now for trade. I am really interested to see if anyone else is trying to replace their grass with sedum sod. I am in the process and have seen success so far. I am looking for green ground cover, non flowering, full sun. I am starting a Staghorn collection and airplants too. Let's trade or exchange advice on any of the above mentioned topics. |
I am located in San Diego near Montgomery Field. We have a great compost pile with wonder worms that are great for fishing among other things. We have great dirt as we've been turning it with our compost and manure for the last twenty or so years. Don't have much to trade except compost and dirt right now. But will have tomatoes and other vegies on a later date. |

Greetings fellow members, I'm Joe and I'm new here. I live in El Cajon (South East San Diego). Can anyone tell me what zone that is? My family recently moved from an apartment to a house and I'm in the process of planting fruit trees for my little kids. So far I have planted pomegranate, loquat, and fig trees. I'm looking for any easy to grow fruit trees that can be fun for my kids. I've love to get lemon, kumquat, avocado, wax jimbu, clementines, bloody orange, persimmons, mulberry, etc... I also have a large ugly slope in the back of the house that I'd love to fill with cacti and succulents :) Would love to meet some of you. Feel free to contact me by email.

Long Beach here 9b (coast) - moved into a house with pretty big yard and practically LIVE in the garden. Grow most of my plants from seed or other propagation. I like ornamentals and tropical - if it blooms - I grow it or want it! Don't believe in "thinning out' seedlings so I have a small nursery. Very interested in trading. If you have Yellow or White Epidendrums (reed stem or secundum) I'll trade you anything in my yard ;) getting my list up soon...... |

So funny...I am the one who started this thread back in 2004 (and we shortly thereafter moved to Colorado). We moved back to So Cal last September, and just now moved into a home on a huge horse ranch in San Timoteo Canyon. Our yard is a blank slate (except for having mature pepper and birch trees)...no grass, so I am on the lookout for anything drought tolerant and rabbit proof. I don't have a lot to trade at this point, as I am starting all over, but I do have some seeds and can get my hands on some great succulents (as my mom and dad's succulent garden is always in need of trimming). And if anyone is in Redlands or thereabouts, let's see about having some get togethers to do some trading! |

'Farm Bill of Health' Wins Civic-Minded Hackathon
This is a guest post by Brian Borger, director of content and strategy at Gojee. Follow him on Twitter at @BrianBorger.
When a sleepy 8:30 a.m. rolled around last Saturday, the labyrinthine co-working space that Cookstr calls home roared to life. Around 120 developers, designers, data crunchers, policy experts, and marketers participated in the Farm Bill Hack, hosted by Food+Tech Connect and Gojee to analyze and spread the word about the crucial piece of legislation that will be making its way through D.C. in the coming months. The bill determines funding for the agriculture industry, and influences which crops farmers produce, their quantities, and their prices. Read More

Currently you can buy Paula's Choice products directly from this site and a few top-rated products from other brands are available via links to affiliate websites. We review and recommend products from other brands because we are dedicated to helping you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or other lines.
Paula's Choice products are formulated using the same exacting standards we use to review products from other brands.

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
AmLactin Moisturizing Body Lotion is a boring body lotion that uses a high amount of the AHA lactic acid to soften dry, rough skin. You'd think that the 12% amount of ammonium lactate would promote exfoliation, but the pH of this product (it consistently measures 5 or above) is too high for that to occur. This form of lactic acid has benefit as a water-binding agent for skin, but in this particular formula you will not get the exfoliation it could've provided. That's a shame, because there are so few well formulated AHA body lotions available.
If you have dry skin and are considering this product, know that there are much better formulas that contain a wide complement of ingredients dry skin needs to repair itself and become healthier.
NOTE: We've had some readers ask us to update the review for this product because the ingredient list has changed. We've contacted the company and have confirmed that the ingredient list we post on this site (and AmLactin posts on their site, as of March 3, 2014) is, in fact, the current and correct ingredient list. Sample packets for this product also match the ingredient list we've provided.
An ideal body lotion for rough, dry skin. Recommended use is twice daily on hands, cuticles, arms, elbows, legs, knees, back, and neck.
Water, Ammonium Lactate, Mineral Oil, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Laureth-4, PEG-40 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylcellulose
For more information on this brand, please call 1-800-654-2299 or visit amlactin.com
I bought this hoping to relieve severely dry & flaky skin on my arms & legs. My skin likes lactic acid. This moisturized as well as any other drug store lotion & didn't stink like some of the glycolic lotions do, but it stayed unpleasantly sticky. I could use it only at bedtime & eventually threw it away. Lactic acid can't help if I can't stand the "feel" of the lotion.
this is the best body lotion I have ever used. I have (had) very dry scaly skin and have used everything from Palmer's coca butter to other store brand lotions and nothing worked on my dry skin until this. I also had bumps on the back of my legs and arms and this has cleared it up. My skin is sooo smooth now. The price is a little steep, but its worth it for smooth skin. I have been using it for two years now and will continue since nothing else has worked for me.
hello, noticed this product was to be "re reviewed" by Paula's staff, and that is almost a year ago now...is there going to be a new review completed? thanks
Hello, The company confirmed that the ingredient list we have for this product (which matches what AmLactin has on their own site) is accurate. Therefore, no review update is needed.
Tried this lotion for atopic dermatitis on my legs causing deeper layers of skin to itch severely. This product was sticky, a bit stinky, and not ultimately moisturizing. Tried this to replace a prescription AHA lotion. Stopped itching for only a few hours and didn't have lasting benefit. A much better choice is Paula's Choice 10% AHA body treatment. Stops itching, moisturizes and has long lasting results.
This is what my dermatologist has recommended to me to use for my overly dry winter hands.
I personally have always liked this product and I know many who do. It does get rid of the ugly dry patches. However, the packaging and also ingredient list has changed. Please respond to the formula changes! I love product with lactic acid.
Thank you for letting us know. We will review the new formula shortly.

Aug 27th 2010 9:54PM Here's a good question for those addicted to video games: if one wasn't addicted to video games, can one prove that one would NOT replace that addiction to video games with something else?
I quit WOW for a year, thinking it was my problem. However, even though I didn't allow myself to play ANY video games whatsoever, I still found countless things to distract myself with. Video games, even MMOs, were not the problem.
It turned out i have a huge issue with procrastination, and that's the long and short of it. I love to escape, and video games is an easy way to do it--though it's not the only way, not by far. A lawsuit will not resolve my issue with procrastination. I am learning to take responsibility for myself. :)
It doesn't make any sense for me to avoid that thing that takes five minutes to complete by avoiding it for three months...

Breakfast Topic: This is the game that never ends ... {WoW}
Aug 13th 2010 8:44AM Having actually burnt out several times for this very reason, I can say that it's really not healthy to obsess about all the stuff there is to do. There's a safe and sane way to handle it.
It's important to realize that all one can ever do is one thing at a time. Pick one thing on your to-do list, and do it. Also, it helps to keep that "one thing" realistic. "I'm going to get all my badge gear!" is not realistic. Neither is "I'll get one piece today!" A bit more realistic is "I'll get ten emblems today, on one of my characters." Basically, one wants a goal one can reasonably attain and still be able to do other things with your actual life (work, pay bills, have fun outside of the game, etc).
It's possibly to play from the moment one wakes up till the moment one goes to bed and *still* feel like one is terribly behind. It's a dangerous way of thinking.

This vehicle is an off-lease 320 wagon purchased from the MB auction in Atlanta. Although it has 23,000 miles on it, there is NO wear and tear in the interior. Most people who have seen the car think it is new. Since I paid in the low 20's for this vehicle, I feel I've gotten an awful lot of car for the money. I don't understand why MB is not offering the 320 wagon this year-It's much more fun and has a better ride than the 240. It's a great value!

Opec may have problems on its hands as compliance levels fall – right when crude oil prices are falling, too.
Compliance levels with the combined 4.2m b/d reduction agreed by the cartel late last year reached as high as 85 per cent – an unusually high level – earlier this year. It began to decline again, as some members took advantage of higher prices. Oil prices of course continued their rise for much of the past few months. But with the decline of the past week, those falling compliance levels might become more of a problem.
From Platts' The Barrel:
OPEC's leakage coincided with the broadly upward trend in oil prices that began in mid-February. OPEC's crude basket stood at $35.58/barrel at the end of last year. By June 11 this year, it had risen to $70.87/b, the highest level so far in 2009.
But prices have since fallen back and the basket stood at $60.58/b on July 9, representing a drop of more than $10/b over the past four weeks. Which begs the question: Will lower prices — assuming they last — spark a renewed effort within OPEC to rein in production?
The cartel is not scheduled to meet again until September, and new decisions take a while to take hold in any case. It could be an interesting couple of months for some members.

So good! I made a shredded beet salad to go along with it and ended up with a wonderful dinner.
I found this recipe as I was flipping through an old Gourmet looking for a different recipe. sounded good so we just had it for brunch--great flavors, easy to make (once you get everything together). It would be fun to have for a Brunch party.
I did not like the flavor combination of pancakes, sour cream, and caviar. The egg yolk and browned butter make it worse. I would not make this recipe again.
I've made this dish twice before and will make it again, tomorrow, for Mothers' Day. It makes a beautiful presentation and everyone that I have served it to was extremely complimentary.
Had some caviar that was a gift and decided to give this recipe a try. Followed it almost to the letter, adding some grated lemon zest to the sour cream and it was superb! Served it as an appetizer for a special aniversary/Valentine's dinner with champagne cocktails and got rave reviews! Great presentation and flavor!

Joanne wished she'd paid closer attention to the fine print in her store finance contract when she was debited more than six monthly payments after her two-year lease payment term ended.
The problem was she forgot to notify the finance company when she moved house and to contact the company at the end of her payment term — if she had, she probably could have bought the item for less than the hundreds of dollars she forked out in extra lease payments.
George also got a shock when, too late, he calculated the finance deal he'd signed up for was costing him somewhere between 30% and 50% more than the price of his new TV. Store credit deals are lucrative for finance companies and can be profitable for retailers too, but for consumers they're a real mixed bag. Some provide good value if used cleverly; others should probably come with a wealth warning. This report compares your options and highlights what to watch out for when you're out and about (maybe treating yourself to a new plasma or LCD TV) this festive season.

A consumer lease is a form of financing for which you need to really have your wits about you when you're considering it. While simple renting (where you're not locked into a long contract) may be attractive under certain circumstances (see below), what's now often offered as store finance is a form of leasing contract that has a fixed period (such as three years), after which you have options that include:
Several companies offer various types of consumer lease. We're far from impressed by some of the prices and deals that we've seen offered by leasing companies and retailers. Flexirent is probably the most prevalent company in this area (see Case study: unfair deal), but a range of companies offer similar deals or variations. Here are some of the things to bear in mind about leasing:
Simple renting might be attractive under some circumstances :
Businesses: leasing companies often target businesses that lease computers and other technology, and there can be tax and other advantages for businesses.
We profile the credit deals (including interest-free) that you're likely to see in shops: 'Buy now, pay later'
Interest-free instalments
Interest from the start Not all credit deals are interest-free — some charge interest straightaway. Rates are likely to be higher than competitive personal loans and credit cards. Some deals, like one from HSBC, give a no-interest period (such as one year) before charging interest for the rest of the term. But with 17% charged for the remainder (for example, three years), it's not an option we'd recommend — unless you repay in full within the interest-free period. Direct debit arrangements This can be a good option offered by some retailers: a regular interest-free direct debit from your bank account or credit card to pay for your purchases over time. Labelling it 'take-home lay-by', Certegy Ezi-Pay offers such arrangements for items including furniture and jewellery. Often, these direct debit deals are rebranded by the retailers that offer them. For example, at Freedom Furniture it's called Freedom Ezi-Pay.
Retailers' interest-free promotions are a way for some financial institutions to sign up new credit card customers — if you take the interest-free offer, you have to take the credit card too.
George, a CHOICE reader from Penrith, NSW, recently signed a Flexirent contract for a $2650 TV. "I'd planned to use three-year interest-free finance and pay it off before interest kicked in, but the Harvey Norman sales assistant suggested Flexirent EzyWay instead," George says. "I asked if any fees applied — the answer was no. I assumed that renting would cost the same as interest-free finance, except that I'd have the option to upgrade the TV at the end of three years." A surround-sound system was thrown in to sweeten the deal. George signed the necessary papers in the store, but got a shock when the full contract arrived in the post a week later. "The monthly payments of almost $110 would accumulate to $3950 over three years. I called Harvey Normanand asked why I was paying $3950 for a $2650 television [or $3049 if you include the 'free' sound system, which Harvey Norman values at $399]. They referred me to Flexirent, which said there was nothing I could do: 'Too bad, you've legally bound yourself to the agreement by signing the documents' was their attitude." Next, George discovered the deal had no cooling-off period, so he couldn't cancel it when he received the contract and realised its real costs. (Later, he realised the $3950 figure was disclosed on the papers he'd signed in the store, but he'd overlooked it, relying instead on what the sales assistant said.) And in a real consumer sting, to get out of the contract after just a couple of weeks, he'd still have to pay the full $3950. "This is so unfair, as I specifically asked the salesman if there were any extra costs."
In the end, Flexirent offered to cancel George's contract and give him the TV for the retail price ($2650), paid in equal instalments over two years. The sound system was his to keep free of charge. A good outcome — but one that wasn't forthcoming until CHOICE got involved, despite George's numerous calls and complaints. In the last three years, over 30 complaints related to Flexirent that were made to Consumer Affairs Victoria alone have required conciliation. Complaints included representations made at the point of sale (by third parties), information in promotional material and direct debiting after contracts have expired. Meanwhile, the NSW Office of Fair Trading is monitoring Flexirent and considering what action to take, and consumer credit centres and a debt counsellor we contacted are warning consumers to evaluate the full costs and alternatives before entering into such arrangements.
Instead of an expensive consumer lease, you'd usually be better off buying goods on interest-free finance or even using a credit card (depending on the interest rate). But it's little wonder some finance companies push their leasing arrangements:
CHOICE wants to see leasing companies (and retailers) forced to prominantly display the following, so you'd be in a better position to compare finance deals:
The situation is made easier for leasing companies because lease contracts don't have to comply with certain laws that apply to loans. Under the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, an agreement that gives consumers the right to buy goods at the end of a payment term isn't in fact a lease. It's technically a loan or a sale of goods by instalment. So leasing contracts are designed so that consumers can offer to buy the goods later (allowing leasing companies to compete with in-store interest-free finance), while at the same time being structured in ways that avoid the stricter regulation of loans. For example, we see:
The bottom line for cost-conscious consumers is that in most cases, if you want to own the item, avoid leasing.
The table compares what you could pay for a $2500 purchase with various finance options, rounded to the nearest dollar.
* Cost of credit includes fees, any interest paid, and/or lease payments. (A) in this case, 'credit' means the cost above the retail price; it's 32% higher. Option B: Two-year 12% pa bank loan
Option C: Two-year consumer lease ('rental') deal
Option D: 18-month 'Buy now, pay later' interest-free finance An 18-month interest-free term is generally the longest available. Our example assumes GE Money's $25 establishment fee, $2.95 monthly fee and 27.99% pa interest rate.
Option E: Interest-free instalments over two years This example assumes GE Money's $25 establishment fee, $2.95 monthly fee and 27.99% pa interest rate.
Option F: Credit card
1. Personal loan. Shop around for the best deal. Consider the annual nominal interest rate and application and account fees. You should find out what other fees and conditions apply for the loan you're interested in, and ask the bank for an exact quote for your repayments.2. Deferred payment deal. With these kind of deals you can defer paying for an item for up to 18 months. There's no interest during that time (although account fees may apply), but after that interest is charged on whatever is still owed.
3. Interest-free credit by instalments. With these kind of deals you repay the cost of the item in equal monthly instalments. Late payments can lead to interest charges and fees.
4. Consumer lease agreements. You rent the item but don't get ownership. 5. Paying up-front. Paying up-front means there's no cost of credit and you'll own the item straight away. However, there's an 'opportunity cost'; by paying up-front you've lost the opportunity to invest that money somewhere else.

Last wk. i bought one of these from a very knowledgable nursery owner near me- who carries a wide variety of jap. maples and buys his material mostly from Larry Stanley and Buchholtz and Buchholts, both in Ore. Strange experience lately; curious about your thoughts:
We looked at three Osakazuki specimens, all from the same grower. All about 7'H, 1- 1.5" caliper. The B&B'd tree had consistently large 4" leaves, red timged One of the other two(boxed) had consistently small leaves; the other had mostly small leaves, some larger on the bottom branches. The nursery owner and I talked about the leaf size variation and he related that he does see that difference sometimes on unplanted jap maples. Has that been your experience as well? Wanting to avoid disappointment, we chose the tree with consistently large leaves .Also, have any of you seen this cultivar grown in partial shade but still having its famous brilliant red in fall?

- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 9, 09 at 23:55
I'd assume it to be due to as simple an explanation as root development - boxed/containered maples just do not have the ability for similar root development and expansion as do those that are field grown and therefore would be expected to have dwarfed/slowed growth, both in size of plant as well as foliage. Once planted in the ground and established, the boxed maples should assume a more typical growth pattern. And yes, 'Osakazuki' can be expected to develop a very good fall color in part shade. And so one does not offend anyone's sensibilities, if you do not write out 'Japanese', please just use the initial 'J' as opposed to any other abbreviation for that term. |

Hi Mindy, There are several forms of this plant. Any healthy 'Osakazuki' is a gem. As far as leaf sizes it seems that the tree described by Vertrees had very large leaves. Mature plants of true 'Osakazuki', whether potted or in the ground, will exhibit this characteristic. There is a good thread at UBC that discusses 'Osakazuki' and it has many good photos. |
Here is a link that might be useful: 'Osakazuki'

Diovan is a prescription medicine for high blood pressure called an angiotensin receptor blocker, or ARB. Diovan lowers high blood pressure by blocking a chemical called angiotensin II.
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to narrow, which increases resistance to blood flow. By blocking this chemical, Diovan relaxes and widens your blood vessels, allowing your blood to flow with less resistance.
With Diovan, the walls of
the vessel relax and widen.
This helps lower
blood pressure.
Diovan starts lowering your
blood pressure the first day you take it.
Just one pill a day helps lower blood pressure for a full 24 hours.
If your blood pressure numbers are consistently 140/90 mm Hg or higher, take an important step toward a healthier blood pressure goal, and ask your doctor or health care professional if Diovan may be right for you.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - A Berkeley-based company is recalling frozen pizzas that may contain metal fragments.
The Oakland Tribune says a voluntary recall was issued Tuesday for all varieties of Annie's Homegrown Rising Crust pizza. The recall covers boxes with "best by" dates of Jan. 9, 2013 to Sept. 14 of this year.
Annie's says a faulty screen at a flour mill left metal mesh fragments in flour and pizza dough.
However, no metal has been found in the finished product and there have been no reports of injuries.

Ithaca isn't your classic river town. It's on the shores of 40-mile-long, 400-foot-deep Cayuga Lake, after all. But all that water is replenished by nine creeks, which create hundreds of waterfalls and geologically stunning gorges along the city's front stoop—something readers consistently pointed out. "I can carry my kayak half a block from my house, put it into Cascadilla Creek, and head out to Cayuga Lake," says resident Cat Holmes. There's also readily accessible kiteboarding, fishing, cliff jumping, road cycling, backpacking, and cross-country skiing. "Shindagin Hollow State Forest is the reason Ithaca is one of the top-five mountain-biking towns in the country," notes attorney Dick Ruswick. Vineyards and orchards abut organic farms. One hundred and fifty of the vendors at the farmers' market, on the shores of Cayuga Lake, are from within 30 miles of town. Breweries like the new Bandwagon Brewpub and the Ithaca Beer Company pump out local favorites like High Step Weizenbock, which "won the New York State gold medal this year," points out Jenny Emerson, a fourth-grade teacher in the Ithaca City School District. While the vibe can be crunchy ("Mate herbal tea is the dominant religious group," says local Dan Hersky), the place is full of arts, theater, and highly educated individuals, thanks to the two universities that face off above town: Ithaca College and Cornell University, which locals claim is the most beautiful Ivy League campus. Winters can be tough, and so can the job prospects, unless you work in academia. But the appeal of living in the city can be life changing, as longtime resident Nancy Lazarus can attest: "I came to visit friends in Ithaca in 1974. I've lived here since."
BEST NEW TRAILS: "The community is working to establish an Emerald Necklace that would encircle Ithaca with preserved land," says Ruswick. "For bikers, the Black Diamond trail is scheduled to open this year between Ithaca and Taughannock Falls park, 10 miles away, and more extensions are planned."

The length of my planned medicine cabinet would have me mount it such that the bottom is lower than the standard 4' height of tile wainscotting. This has me thinking I should lower the height of the wainscotting to around 40" give or take. The planned tile is subway tile with chair rail cap. (Back of the sink comes to about 35.5", so this would mean roughly one course plus chair rail above the sink.) This has me questioning the height of the towel bars. As I see it, I have three options: 1) Raise the height of the wainscotting and choose a shorter medicine cabinet. But one of the main reasons I want a longer one is so that my young kids can see themselves. 2) Raise the height of the wainscotting and let it run into the sides of the medicine cabinet. (Obviously I'd have to check clearances to make sure the chair rail doesn't interfere with the mirror.) I'm wondering if that would look awkward. 3) Mount the towel bar(s) above the wainscotting. Again, wondering if that would look awkward, or be awkward to hang a towel since the chair rail would be sticking out just a couple/few inches lower than the towel bar. Thoughts/advice? |

I've seen plenty of examples with the medicine cabinets inset into wainscoting. It all comes down to personal preference. How tall are your ceilings? Wainscot usually looks best 6-12" above the halfway point so that the room is not visually cut in half. |
I set things into wainscot all the time. No worries if you go that route. If you can't properly deconflict the wainscot cap with the door swing, you could pad the medicine cabinet out a bit. But that detail, it's on a case-by-case basis. |

We wrapped a framed mirror into wainscot. I am sure you could do something similar with your medicine cabinets. Our bathroom is not finished, but here is a pic. |

Thanks for the responses. Allison - Interesting observation about the height. My ceilings upstairs are low (dormered cape - 88") so 40" would be less than half the height. Either way, it's a small bathroom so I think there's not enough wall to create that split in half look. Enduring - The chair rail I'm considering would only come out about an inch, so I don't think the towels would touch the wall except while actually hanging them, nor would they drape out. If anything, the chair rail will hold the towels off the wall for those top few inches. But I'll definitely take the depth of the bars into consideration when choosing. Mongoct - Good idea with bumping out if needed. I suppose another option would be a surface mounted cabinet, but I'm trying to avoid that. Thanks again. |

David Filo is co-founder and Chief Yahoo! We bring you a three-part interview with David where he talks about the early days of Yahoo! (YHOO), what it takes to do a startup, and Yahoo's India plans among other things. David is also interested in buying REVA, the Indian electric car, when it becomes available in the USA.
In Part-1 of our interview David talks about the early days of Yahoo and how it all started. What was it like for him and Jerry Yang to leave behind their graduate studies and plunge into a new business? How did they came up with the name Yahoo!? Did you know it was initially known by another name and before they changed it to Yahoo!? How did they meet Srinija Srinivasan, who went to become their resident ontological officer?

As a service to you, the NAMIWalks program has provided a number of templates for your print material needs. These are professional-looking materials that you can use to recruit WALK sponsors, team captains, and volunteers to grow your individual WALK. We strongly encourage you to use these templates.
(You may also obtain these print instructions by downloading the Word document at the bottom of this page.)
The sections below will help you
We encourage you to use a professional printer to produce these materials. Be sure to request that the printer provide the services as an In-Kind donation or give a discount for your non-profit organization before agreeing to pay full price. Printing can be expensive but this is why we encourage you to start recruiting WALK Sponsors early in the process.
We encourage you to put a bid out to multiple vendors to get the best deal. Cost, quality and time to complete the project should all be considered when selecting a printer. Be clear as to your timeframe for having the printing of the material completed allowing time to modify the template per your sites needs and any delivery time as well as the actual time to print.
Whichever printer you decide to use, be sure that nothing goes to print without a thorough review of the product and that all edits or changes are done to your specifications and approved by you.
All the printing recommendations listed here start with some "best guess" assumptions that we make about the size of each walk in terms of the dollars it will raise and the estimated number of walkers that we think it will have. If the estimates for your walk are significantly different from your own estimates, please contact your NAMIWALKS Regional Manager to discuss why that might be.
Here's a quick summary of our thinking on this subject:
--Sponsorship Brochure
--Team Captain Kick-Off Luncheon Invitation
--Walker Brochure
--WALK Poster(s)
--Look Whos Walking Poster
--Team Captain Envelope
In preparation for your Team Captain Kick-Off Luncheon Event, the timeline for your printing:
When you have all the printed materials in hand, you can begin to assemble your Team Captain folders. See the NAMIWalks 2012 Folders section for those additional materials.
Hint: As you set deadlines for printing allow for extra time. Dont set your deadlines so tight that you dont have some wiggle room for problems with the design, problems with printing, and last minute sponsor additions!
You have two options with the Kick-Off Luncheon invitations:
You can send one or both of the Kick-Off Luncheon invitations. It is up to you and what you want your invitations to look like and your available financial resources.
This is the brochure that is given to all potential walkers. It is both a walker recruitment piece and a practical piece that walkers use to register for the walk and keep track of their donations. It is also the piece that walkers will turn in prior to or on the day of the walk.
Recommended printing quantity is 10% of whatever the overall dollar goal is for a walk. For example, if the dollar goal is $100,000, then we recommend that a site consider printing 10,000 walker brochures. A walk that has a $50,000 goal would print 5,000 brochures, etc. etc.
State WALKS that have large mailing lists or WALKS with numerous affiliates involved in their event should consider printing 12% to 15% of their total dollar goal since mailing brochures to their mailing list and distributing them to all their affiliates may use up a large number of brochures. So for a $100,000 WALK we would suggest that you print 12,000 to 15,000 of these brochures.
This brochure is the primary piece of print material that you will use to explain about NAMI and about your WALK to potential sponsors of your event. This template is made to minimally modified to highlight your local WALK. Work with your National WALK Manager to get the local details incorporated in the piece by our designer and to determine the quantity needing to be printed. We have been very successful in getting the printing of this piece for free or at a very reduced cost due to the intended audience for this piece.
This poster is a fairly traditional poster for special events of this type. It is recommended that walk coordinators consider printing up 10% of whatever the total number of walker brochures they plan to print. Have a $100,000 walk goal? Plan to print up 3,000 walker brochures? Then the recommended number of posters would be 10% of your brochure total or 300. Plan to print up 1,000 brochures, then the recommended number of posters is 100. One caveat: if a walk site has a lot of volunteers and those volunteers plan to create awareness for the walk by focusing their efforts on placing as many posters as possible in storefront widows, than that site should factor these plans into their poster order and have more printed.
This is a poster that a team captain can use to keep track of the walkers on his or her team. Generally it is placed in a highly visible area. Typically these posters are placed in locations like: the coffee room or the cafeteria of a business office, on the door of someones personal office, or by the entrance to their cubicle, or on the refrigerator in the family home. The team captain writes the names of the walkers who they sign up for their team on this poster. The idea is that once people see others signing up for the event (andsupporting whomever the team captain might be), they will be much more likely to sign up themselves or sponsor someone with a donation.
Each Team Captain usually just needs one Look Whos Walking on My Team poster, but since they should be included in the Team Captains folders that will be sent/given to people who are unable to attend the kickoff, it is recommended that smaller walks (say in the $25,000 to $75,000 range) order 100 copies of this poster and larger walks order 200 or more. Walk coordinators working on walks that they hope might raise $250,000 or more might consider ordering 300 copies of this poster.
The collateral pieces can be used at your discretion. Please consult with your National WALK Manager if you have any questions as to why, how or when you might find any of these pieces valuable to your effort. We will assist on the modification of these pieces as well if you wish us to do so.
We encourage WALK sites to recruit Sponsors early in the WALK season to bring in funds that will help to defray the costs associated with putting on a WALK (printing, Kick-Off Luncheon, postage, etc.) You can use your printing deadline as an incentive for your potential Sponsors to get them to confirm early.
As you close in on your printing deadlines, you need to get your logos from your sponsors. The great majority of printers work with MAC-based computer programs (stuffit file). You will most likely NOT be able to open a .sit file on your PC but you can forward files from the Sponsor to the printer without opening it.
What you need to get from your Sponsors is a high-resolution (large psi) file (.eps, .ai, .ps). You will also need small files (.jpg, .gif, .bmp) to upload your sponsors logos onto your NAMIWalk web site (www.nami.org/namiwalks)

International Design Registration
How do a protect my design registration internationally?
Design registration and certification in Australia only provides protection within Australia. Therefore, if you want protection of your commercial interests to extend overseas you will need to register your design internationally.
There is no form of 'worldwide design registration' (although there is registration that applies throughout Europe), so design registration must be obtained separately in each country of interest.
As Australia is a member of the Paris Convention, 'convention applications' can be made in all member countries. Where the application is made within six months of Australian application, design protection commences as of the initial Australian application date.
In Europe, a Community Design Registration enables you to seek design registration in all EU member countries under a single application, saving significant administrative time and expense.
How can Actuate IP assist?
There are many strategic, practical and legal considerations when implementing an international design registration strategy, particularly given that design applications must be filed prior to any public disclosure.
Additionally, design laws vary slightly between countries and it is important to be aware of any potential effects of these variations.
Actuate IP can provide an assessment of your options and related costs to tailor a strategy suited to you and your business.

Any test performed through loudspeakers rather than earphones is called "sound field" audiometry and does not test each ear separately; rather, sound field audiometry yields an audiogram for the better-hearing ear if there happens to be an ear difference in hearing.
However, if your child tolerates wearing earphones, then the test assesses hearing in each ear separately. This test is ideal for children between the ages of 7 months and 2 ½ years.

Aiken county, SC, bought and planted 5 dark green pittosporum bushes on front lawn.
We have had very little rain all summer, I am trying to keep them somewhat moist til they take. Anyone have any experience with these? Do they grow well here? Do they need fertilizing? My soil is sandy, so it will get excellent drainage, and they are in full sun. No sunburn as of yet, but it is September. I planted them for privacy and hope they grow big enough for privacy from the road. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Years ago, when I was in graduate school at the University of South Carolina (Columbia), pittosporum was used extensively for hedging and also as specimen shrubs that were allowed to grow freely into the size of small trees. I hope pittosporum continues to be a part of USC's landscaping. Pittosporum is a low maintenance plant that requires virtually no care. It is a beautiful evergreen that has lovely orange-blossom flowers in the late spring, followed by attractive red fruits in the fall. It's one of my favorite evergreens; and I grow it here in northwestern SC, a little more than one hundred miles northwest of Columbia. (Of course, I'm aware that's not Aiken County.) However, I think _Pittosporum tobira_ should develop into a fine hedge in Aiken County provided you have spaced the plants closely enough together without overcrowding them. Pittosporum responds well to shearing; and if you want to grow it as a sheared hedge, you may want to plant the shrubs more closely together to ensure the density you may require. If you shear the pittosporum, you'll probably lose most, if not all, its flowers and fruit. Some of our songbirds enjoy the fruit. |
I grow them here in the sandhills of NC. I have the variegated variety. Because of my sand I have a hard time establishing shubbery. Everything I plant tends to get smaller rather than larger. The pittosporum have been one of my successes. I planted them with plenty of composted soil conditioner. I have never watered them except for the first couple of months. We had an extremely hot summer with a long period of no rain and they still look fantastic. |

Jay, Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I want flowers, so we will play it by ear and mabey I'll only trim the shrubs where I need to. I planted them about 3-4 feet apart so I was hoping for some serious privacy. Awesome! Dellare- I know what you mean about sandy soil, I am growing plants in a sand dune. I'm glad you had success with the pittosporum, it is going to be nice to have something evergreen in the winter also. God I hope they take off, This has been a terrible summer with no rain again. I have to get another job for my water bill LOL! |
Butterfly, the Aiken area has two well known nurseries owned by world famous plant hunters; Woodlanders Nursery and Nurseries Caroliniana. Hopefully you have visited both. While there buy some Georgia Savory (Clinopodium georgianum) which is a wonderful semi-evergreen 'filler' perennial that thrives on sandhills. In blossom now. A bee magnet. Fragrant. Choice, seldom used plant. |

Nandina, Thank you so much for the tip. Will do. I love fragrants. |

Located one block from Union Square, with easy access to two cable-car lines, San Francisco's Villa Florence was renovated in 2008, and it now exudes the warmth of a modern Italian villa. A white marble foyer, flanked by a pair of classical columns and decorated with a fresco of the red rooftops of Florence, leads to a lobby lined with miniature topiaries reminiscent of those in the Boboli Gardens. The 182 rooms are cozy, while Bar Norcini, in the lobby, is a convivial 24-seat wine bar with a selection of Italian varietals. Hungry? The adjacent Kuleto's Italian Restaurant is an atmospheric trattoria that's been serving northern Italian dishes (such as penne with lamb sausage and veal scaloppini) for more than two decades.
Room to Book:
Junior Suites are spacious and feature a second pullout bed separated by a partial wall—perfect for families.Insider Tip:
Since the Union Square area tends to bustle all day and all night, request an interior room or suite that does not look out directly on Powell Street's two cable-car lines.Amenities

Memoria Press Complete Programs for K-7
Publisher: Memoria Press Review last updated: September 2011 |
Instant KeyPublishers InfoPricing |
Memoria PressFirst Grade Program
Memoria Press has been creating many of their own products for presenting a classical Christian education. They have recently created complete grade level packages with complete lesson plans that incorporate their resources along with some from other publishers. All subjects are covered, including Bible/religion.
Memoria Press resources use recitation, repetition, copywork, and memorization to develop mastery of skills and concepts. Literature, music, and art are incorporated for grades K-3. Literature guides for each level guide students through the study of real books rather than readers. Latin is introduced in second grade. Rod and Staff's math program is used for all grade levels. Memoria's Christian Studies program begins in third grade; these books guide students through study of The Golden Children's Bible. Copybooks used in the early grades include verses from the KJV.
Rod and Staff's Spelling program is used beginning with Spelling 4 used at third grade level—appropriate given the advanced level of the words in this series. Rod and Staff's English texts are used for third through seventh grades. Nature walks and nature study are an important part of science study for the younger levels. Students in third grade and beyond study other science topics such as the relatively in-depth study of astronomy in third grade.
Lesson Plan books each cover a full school year. They have specific teaching instructions in about the first ten pages followed by detailed, daily lesson plans showing what resources to use, which pages to cover, and extra instructions as needed. Check-off boxes can be used if you want this Lesson Plan book to also serve as your record book. Guides have a suggested schedule for how much time to allot to each subject and the order of subjects, but this is followed by a blank schedule for you to customize your own schedule. Appendices at the back of each book include prayers, memory work, and other helps appropriate to each level. They also feature read-aloud book lists, poetry lists and music and art lists showing which selections correlate with each week's lesson for grades K through 2. Read-alouds lists that correlate with lessons are included for grades 3 through 6.
The curriculum is very structured and depends very much on interaction with the teacher. The same curriculum can be used with either class groups or individual students, although things like discussions, public speaking, and some activities might be more enjoyable or profitable with more than one student. On the other hand, it will be easier to oversee and interact with a single child rather than a group.
Lesson Plans and packages for grades K through 2 are in their final format, while at the time of this review Lesson Plan guides for grades 3 through 6 are in their beta format and might change slightly.
The kindergarten program assumes that children can count to ten, print their names, and recognize most letters. In this half-day program, kindergarteners learn to read, mastering short vowel words and a basic sight-word vocabulary using Memoria's First Start Reading course, Classical Phonics, SRA Phonics 1, Christian Liberty Press' Nature Reader K, and EPS Primary Phonics Readers. While science and social studies topics come up within other subject areas, each is given only one dedicated lesson per week. Phonics, math, recitation, and copybook/memory work take place each day. Music, art, read-aloud books, poetry, social studies, and science rotate, sharing a half-hour time slot at the end of each day in the recommended schedule. The priority given to math and phonics is entirely appropriate for kindergarten level.
First grade expands to a full-day program, continuing to develop phonics and reading skills along with other subjects in a manner similar to that for the kindergarten program. Cursive writing is also introduced at this level. Classic children's literature begins to play an important role in the curriculum with fifteen read-alouds and the Memoria Press StoryTime Treasures study guides.
Second grade introduces Latin with Prima Latina and brings in more social studies content within the classic literature selections with books such as The Courage of Sarah Noble and Little House in the Big Woods.
Third grade builds the historical foundation for a classical curriculum with D'Aulaires' Greek Myths. Students also learn states and capitals, study astronomy, and read three longer novels this year: Farmer Boy, Charlotte's Web, and The Moffats. They continue the study of Latin with Latina Christiana I.
Fourth graders move on to the Famous Men of Rome while also studying geography with Memoria's unique program for classical students. Memoria's Geography studies Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East, the primary regions encompassed by the Roman Empire. Geography is studied both historically and as it is today. Another new Memoria publication, The Book of Insects, along with its companion workbook introduce students to classification and the insect world as they observe, study, analyze, and sketch. Students also answer factual questions in the workbook. (These latter two items are still in beta versions at the time I am writing.) First Form Latin continues the Latin instruction. Fourth grade novels are Heidi, Lassie Come Home, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Fifth grade history progresses to the Famous Men of the Middle Ages. In keeping with the Middle Ages historical emphasis, students read King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Adam of the Road. Geography II, a yet-to-be-released Memoria Press book will also fill in social studies. Students may study either First or Second Form Latin depending upon their progress to this point. Birds are a major topic for science with a number of books and activities, but students also read the fascinating book Exploring the World of Medicine.
For sixth grade, students journey back to Greece with Famous Men of Greece, Horatius at the Bridge, and The Trojan War. They also study U.S. History with a number of resources. Science focuses on trees then addresses the larger world of living things with Exploring the World of Biology. For Latin, students might use First, Second, or Third Form Latin. Novels read are Anne of Green Gables, Treasure Island, The Bronze Bow, and The Hobbit.
Seventh graders continue study of the ancient world. However, moving beyond the grammar stage they study history and literature at a deeper level as they tackle the Iliad and the Odyssey along with study sets for Dorothy Mills' Book of the Ancient World and Book of the Ancient Greeks. Students study Robinson Crusoe and a variety of poetry for literature, and they are introduced to Shakespeare in the second semester. For language arts they also complete Rod and Staff's English 7 course along with Memoria Press' Classical Composition. Science uses Exploring Planet Earth. For math, students study pre-algebra. Students can continue with Fourth Form Latin or select an appropriate level of Latin if they are newer to the study of Latin.
If you like Memoria Press' approach to classical education, these grade level packages are a terrific resource that will make your job much easier.
Prices range from $260 to $450 at the time of this review. Prices for beta versions of these programs will definitely go up for final versions.
