We like the color of the Mohawk SmartStrand "Starfall: "Multi" (multi-color) style carpet at Lowes. The sign says it is a "Special 8-color selection of fleck friezes". There is a "Best" and a "Better" version in same color I like. Both versions have a 5.50 x 5.50 twist, the density & face weights are different (Best=45 oz & 1,714 density; Better=35 oz & 1,623 density).
Does this describe a good quality carpet? Is the
The fibers seem to be rather longish. Should I be cautious about this as far as developing traffic patterns goes? Is anyone familiar with this style and can you tell me if it'll "mash down" more than a shorter style? (The clerk steered me towards Stainmaster with shorter strands... "nylon 6,6" styles as an alternative to that particular Smartstrands length. Any opinions about this or which is a better choice?) Also, an observation, wondering if this is normal for a "store sample": When I took one of the twisted fibers (of the Smartstrand multi) between my fingernails and pinched/pulled it, it seemed to get fuzzy on the ends. Also, a few twisted/fiber strands actually pulled right out of the backing. (I was attempting to find out if a vacuum would get ahold of it and pull it/unravel anything! Had an awful experience with that type of problem years ago and NEVER want to repeat the mistake!!) Are these things typical of a sample piece that experiences unusual circumstances like this vs. actually installed in a home without culprits like me abusing it like I did? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yep your a culprit. Have no worries with Smartstrand. It is a safe return on investment! |
Some of the longer ones can mess up the beater bar on a vacuum cleaner they told me. Thats why we went with more of a pile. |
Thank You very much for some feedback. I just want to get something that'll last and last, especially in one high traffic area! |

I don't think you'll have any problems with the Smartstrand. The Stainmaster doesn't even come close to comparing with the softness and mat-resistance of the Smartstrand. You are looking at a frieze style carpet--that's why the strands are so long. Think of it as a short shag carpet. It has a very casual look to it. If you want a shorter strand, but still longer than your average plush carpet, try one of the denser Smartstrand plush carpets--I believe it is called Lucky Star at Lowe's. It's a very good compromise, although it doesn't come in a multi-color (to my knowledge). As far as durability, we use a Dyson Ball vacuum on ours and have had no problems with the strands unraveling or pulling out. Still looks as nice as the day it was put in. When DS2 cut his foot and dripped blood all over the off-white Smartstrand carpet in his bedroom, it all came out 1-2-3 with just a clean cloth dampened with tap water. My favorite thing to do when I come home after work is to slip off my heels and walk across my Smartstrand carpet enjoying the plush luxurious feel of it under my feet:-) Hope this helps! Hope this helps! |
Yes this all helps and thanks to you all! I think we do want the frieze style & yup because of the casualness. We went shopping again today and a dealer store clerk kept steering us towards the Karastan "Nature's Bounty" multi-color style which he says IS Smartstrand, & no difference? The label on the back says: The other type WE found at that same dealers was one he seemed to try and keep us away from (maybe he doesn't make as much profit??): "SmartStrand Enlightened Decor" under a SmartStrand only display (vs Karastan). It also says "100% SmartStrand..." same as above. (has the same Color name as the Lowes carpet and looks the same. Is it? He said the price would be the same for either choice , a "builders discount" at 4.49 sq ft w/8# Smart Cushion pad, tax & installation. Are these two carpets actually the SAME? Does anyone know if there's a quality difference? (btw, we will be getting a new vac too so will be checking other boards for tips on that purchase but mydreamhome: thanks in advance!!) Thanks again! |

Check the weights/density of the carpets as well as the fiber length to determine if there is a difference. Mohawk sells Smartstrand under the Karastan name as well and it is all the same carpet from that aspect. You could very well be correct in that the store clerk may have some incentive to sell one vs. the other, but I can't say for sure. Another thing to check is whether one is the new Smartstrand Ultra or Smartstrand Silk and the other the "older" Smartstrand. There's a thread on GW Flooring forum about the new Smartstrand that will give you all the details--link below. Apart from that, I would price out the one that matches up with HD's names at HD and see if there is any difference with your local guy. If there is a significant difference (lower price @ HD), I would see if the local guy is willing to come down on his price to get the business for the exact same carpet. The local guy will typically have a better install record (you get the luck of the draw with HD & Lowe's), so if he can come down within what you think is a reasonable price, I would go with him. Make sure the padding & install specs all match up so you're comparing apples to apples vs. apples to oranges. A little extra $ is worth the peace of mind IMO. As for vacuums, we have the Dyson Ball and love it. When we first moved in to the house, our Dyson was still at the apartment an hour away that we were in temporarily (we were in the clean up phase before final checkout inspection). We borrowed Mom's new Electrolux. It did a great job, but it was hard to push & pull across the carpet because it was so plush. I couldn't find any way to adjust the height, so I just strong-armed it for the little while I had it and made a mental note not to buy Electrolux in the future. I worried about how the Dyson would do, but those worries turned out to be unfounded. My Dyson was pricey (even on sale the price of 2-3 regular vacs), but it has outlasted all the other vacs I have bought in the past so IMO it was worth it! Hope this helps! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Smartstrand Changes
Floortech (or others) In your opinion which of the following is a better buy? Silk face weight of 45 vs regular smartstand face weight of 60? with silk being approximately $1 / sq foot higher. Same pads, same local carpet company... Going into bedrooms only as rest of house is hardwoods. |
mydreamhome: I'm going to take the advice and compare. Have not gone to HD yet but certainly will be fitting that in asap. (THX for the vac tip! If we get this longer frieze I know we'll need a vac that the heights can be adjusted. I have a tempermental "bursa" that aches after vacuum use so in that research project you just gave me my first step!) mathdan: are you talking the Smartstrand brand of "Silk" in the face weight comparison? I'd like to know this too as I started shopping before the new stuff came out. Throws a monkey wrench in the search but glad I have a chance to choose the latest if I want to! |
I would go with the reg 60 ounce at this point based on the fact that the new intro's I do not have or have not studied. |

Goals, Desired Condition's and Indicators
The body of this report is divided into eight sections, one for each of eight City Goals.
Use the Left Hand Navigation Menu Bar to Navigate through the site:
Example above: Select GOAL 1 - Human & Family Development, then drill down through the content to Desired Condition 1 - Educated, literate residents, then to the Indicator pages, shown here as "1.1 Adult Educational Achievement Rates" and "1.2 Library Circulation and Visitation Rates."
See Creating a Community Report Card to understand the process for how these conclusions were reached by the Indicators Progress Commision.
From the Goal page, go to each Desired Condition for an assessment of that conditions progress. Each Desired Condition has one or more indicators which measure the progress our community is making toward realizing the City of Albuquerque's Goals.
Indicators were adopted by the following criteria:
- We favored indicators that directly measured Desired Conditions. Where direct measures were simply not available, we used appropriate surrogate measures.
- The data had to be available to us. We looked for assurance that it would be updated on a fairly regular basis to facilitate long-term trend analyses. In cases in which historical data were not obtainable, we sought assurance that future updates of current data would occur, so the indicator presented in this report serves to establish a baseline.
Please see the following for further information on how to use the APR
Creating a Community Report Card
• Understand how the IPC formed conclusions about the progress of each Desired Condition
• Using citizen surveys
• Identifying peer communities for comparison to Albuquerque

Danny, my area has loads of deer and rabbits but my special homebrew recipe seems to keep them at a distance. Human urine dabbled around the garden perimeter after each rain. I save it up during the winter and spread once plants have germinated, not too close to the plants but close enough. It's free and plentiful but it does go fast during a rainy season. Might go into business one day, label the product as "P1ssoff!" ;o) - Try it, they won't like it! (esp after a long winter, ha). Note : not sure if it will deter possums - they smell so bad themselves that they may not notice. |
- Posted by nancy 10(email@example.com) onTue, Dec 28, 10 at 12:02
Danny, I'll quote you from another site: "Opossums are in fact immensely beneficial to the environment. Opossums move around a lot, while rats and mice usually come to stay, not to mention the fact the oppossums will feed on mice if give the opportunity. They are the best squirrel-proff technology you can afford. From Creature Comforts by Joel Thomas" My question to you is- what problems do you have with possums, that you would want to relocate them? |

Game: New ways to prepare, cook & cure
Yes, yes I thought great fun, cook, eat, drink, film and watch the football! It never really works like that when you first get told you're going filming. This was a trip before the World Cup, taking in the atmosphere, the build up, the food the culture, but wait for it…not a football stadium or ball in sight. In fact we never mentioned the World Cup or football at all in 10 days. On reflection I can see why, the telly was crammed with the stuff, even me an ardent football lover, was getting a bit sick of it. Plus I was not filming on my own; show biz reporter on ITV's This Morning, Alison Hammond was coming along too. I wasn't quite sure how it would knit together. In the end we had a wail of a time and the finished films, I hope you will agree, are fun to watch.

Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
U.S. patriotic society for direct descendants of soldiers or others who aided the cause of independence. It was organized in 1890 and chartered by Congress in 1895. Its historical division stresses the study of U.S. history and preservation of Americana. Its educational division provides scholarships and loans, helps support schools for underprivileged youth and for Americanization training, sponsors prizes, and publishes manuals. Its patriotic division publishes the Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine and The National Defense News. It was long known for its conservatism; its refusal in 1939 to let the black singer Marian Anderson perform at Washington's Constitution Hall led to her famous concert at the Lincoln Memorial.

Serves 4
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar, divided
- 1 teaspoon natural cane sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 rainbow carrots
- 1 small fennel bulb with fronds, cored
- 8 large sardines
- 3 tablespoons white miso
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Toasted sesame oil
Preheat oven to 400°.
To prepare the slaw, whisk together 1/4 cup brown rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes. Rinse outer skin of carrots. Use a vegetable peeler to peel carrots lengthwise, creating long ribbons. Place in a mixing bowl. Next, slice fennel crosswise very thinly with a sharp knife or mandoline. Reserve fennel fronds for garnish. Toss brown rice vinegar mix with carrots and fennel. Set aside.
If your sardines have not been gutted by your fishmonger, do this now. Slice each sardine along the length of the belly and remove the organs by gently pulling them out with your fingers; discard. Rinse sardines thoroughly under cool water. Drain on paper towels and blot dry.
Combine miso, mirin, remaining 1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic with a fork to make a paste. Arrange fish on a baking sheet. Brush insides of sardines with miso paste. Brush outsides with sesame oil.
Roast sardines until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Using tongs, remove slaw from bowl, draining off any excess liquid, and divide among 4 plates. Top each with 2 sardines and finish with a few fennel fronds.

Please help me identify this rose. It's own root and suckers prolifically. It only blooms once in the spring. It's susceptible to powdery mildew but not to black spot. It's REALLY thorny. The flowers smell STRONGLY of rose. Kind of like some peonies with that roses & sugar smell. You can smell the bush from the sidewalk (4-5' away). |

I should mention that the canes normally stand, but we've had a couple really good storms in the past 24 hours and it's looking a little beaten. The canes are at least 6' and it's cane-hardy right to the tips. |
Kind of reminds me of the Damask rose La Ville de Bruxelles. |

Hi; I became fascinated by this thread because I have the same Mystery Rose growing in my bed. In fact, It's now three roses, we renovated the garden and had a new spot planned for her, but this hardy belle's woody root stock was enormous, so we went with the flow, divided her, and now three plants are happily climbing up the garage wall! I thought she could be Charles Lawton (check out http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/bourbons/lawson.html) but that would not fit with my Edmonton Alberta zone 4, in which she is currently thriving. Then I thought maybe the ancient damask Kazanlik... http://www.amityheritageroses.com/WWWgraphics/Kazanlik.JPG which would fit as her perfume is amazing. http://woodlandrosegarden.com/american gardens/SJHRG 2002/thumb/kazanlik 3_thmb.jpg The blooms retain their scent and most of their light pink color, even with drying. The bush is kind of awkward, sprawling. So..Kazanlik? Some sport of a Kazanlik- wild rose cross? |
I'm not experienced enough to be considered by any means an expert, but you are describing the flowering behavior of a "Gallica". That doesn't mean it must be so since Rosa gallica's genes are in most of the garden roses, but it probably is either a Gallica, or one of the descendants that shows strong Gallica influence. (I think some of the "Damasks" show that, but I'm not sure.) |
- Posted by annececilia z4b/North.Mich. (My Page) on Mon, Jun 18, 07 at 20:18
This looks identical to one I have growing here which I found along a roadside near an abondoned homestead. That and another rose (which I believe to be Tuscany) had suckered themselves across the old yard right up to and into the gravel road. I didn't have to trespass one tiny bit to rustle this rose, just opened the car door and scooped up a piece, LOL! I, too, have thought there might be some damask here as it is a bit different than most of my other gallicas, and a tad more tender (getting tip damage in winter here in zone 4.) |
I'm trying to identify a mystery rose, too, that I think may be 'Kazanlik.' I'm pretty sure it's a damask of some kind! It's supposed to be 'York and Lancaster' but it's never done the two-colors-on-one-flower thing. Would you folks mind taking a look at my photos over on 'Name That Rose' forum, and let me know what you think? (York_rose, thanks so much for your comments on my other post, concerning semi-plena!) |

Mine is definitely not Charles Lawson as the page says "the lithe canes are nearly thornless" - mine is ridiculously thorny. So bad that even with welding gloves it's not pleasant to work with... :o( Kazanlik isn't an option either as it seems to have centres that are much larger than the ones on mine. Mine's blooms look like La Ville (swirled and really tight) but the flowers are small - maybe 1.5-2". They open flat and fade to a lighter pink as they age. I didn't notice any hips or cane colour-changes... I'm glad I'm not the only one searching!! :o) |
Could your rose be rosa centifolia, "the cabbage rose"? |
Here is a link that might be useful: r. centifolia at helpmefind
I am sure this rose is neither Kazanlik nor La Ville. It is either Ispahan or Blush Damask. Ispahan is a rose which has the longest blooming period of all damask. For how long does your rose bloom? |

- Posted by margitalbertacanada 3 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 9, 08 at 10:38
The rose could be "Banshee". If you can find a few hips (it doesn't make many) they will be acorn shaped. Good luck. |
I have a rose very similar to the La Ville de Bruxelles or Ispahan. It was planted in 1930 in memory of a family member and again on a cemetery in 1944. Spreads by underground roots. A little hard to transplant. Petals are very full over 40. Single color of pink but goes to white at the center of the petal and white on the back of the petal . Shape is open cupped. Petal shape is reflexed. The leaf surface is Matt and color is light to med-green. It flowers in W. PA. once mid-June into July. Slightly fragrant to fragrant. It flowers in clusters of 3 usually. (Florabunda ??). Size is 3 inches across. I have books upon books trying to figure it out. I'll have to wait until summer to post a picture, but wondered if by the description you can help. Thanks. Connie |
- Posted by generator_00 z4 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 10, 08 at 2:39
I was kind of thinking it might be banshee as well. I have several but they are young plants and the ones that I got from pickering had a whiter bloom on them this last spring. |
- Posted by ashes_of_the_fire 6a (My Page) on Sat, Mar 7, 09 at 14:20
i have some that are very similar to that also except mine are white with a pink tinge, also very thorny very hardy and this may not help much but it is at least 30 years old as the bush was there when my grandfather bought the place over 30 years ago. mine are against the house and sheltered so they stand 6ft (a solid 5.5 at least) tall. we don't water them and they flower once in july (sometimes end of june, but are usually done by august) also smell very rosy, a little spicy, blooms are the same size. we also have dark pink ones that grow wild and sporadically around the house and they bloom about the same time and are very small plants and smell like apples instead of rose. i would love to know what this one is as mine is likely the same. |
Its not 'Banshee', I can guarantee you that. It is a Gallica, however, and if blooms are on the small side (IE: under 3") then it is most likely 'Belle Isis'. Regards, |
Flower stems appear to have some moss on them. |

New leaves sometimes look quite fuzzy. But it's just the concentration of leaf hairs that gives that look. When the leaf is more fully expanded, the fuzzy quality "disappears." |

Every now and then, I come across a blogger who just blows me away with really useful marketing content. It's an amazing contribution. Advergirl is my current favorite. Lately, she's been running tip sheets and mini-tutorials on how to plan and manage digital creative projects. Who doesn't need that? If you are reading this, you are needing that, right? Alice Sneary at OCLC turned me on to Advergirl, and I've been grateful ever since.

If you're conducting your own search for a bicultural manager, the best place to look is probably among the U.S. ranks of companies that have already been overseas. "[You'll find] a staggering number of repatriates who are looking for work after coming back to the United States with a lot of international experience," says Foster.
Finding a suitable candidate may be as simple as contacting the outplacement offices of large multinational corporations. These offices help find new jobs for departing employees, including former overseas managers who have come home and haven't reintegrated with their U.S. companies. You can also find management talent by reading and advertising in trade journals and networking at industry gatherings.
However you find them, these former international managers will likely be more numerous and more motivated than either managers in your home office, who may be satisfied in their current positions, or candidates in a foreign country, who probably have never heard of your firm.

As biology teachers, both Anne Byford and Adah Fitzgerald could find a million uses for a polymerase chain reaction machine.
"It copies specific sections of DNA so we can look and pick sequences of either end of the gene we're interested in," said Byford, who teaches at Gaston Day School in Gastonia. "It's essentially a molecular Xerox machine," said Fitzgerald, a teacher at Woodlawn School in Mooresville.But costs for the equipment can run deep into the thousands, which makes it all but impossible for most secondary schools to obtain.This August, though, each school will have one, thanks to grants awarded by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. Since 1984, NCBiotech has awarded nearly $8 million to educational institutions, from elementary schools to universities. During this past fiscal quarter, NCBiotech awarded $2.59 million in loans and grants. That cycle included a $6,100 grant for Byford and a $5,630 grant for Fitzgerald. UNC Charlotte also received a $5,000 grant to fund the Undergraduate Biotechnology Research Fellowship during the quarter. Hiep Nguyen, 23, a molecular biology major at the university, will research the delivery of cancer medicines into pancreatic cancer cells through nanoparticles.NCBiotech awards 10 to 12 educational grants each year to further biotechnology efforts in the state.Biotechnology has become a growing industry in North Carolina, which now is the nation's third-largest biotech hub. According to NCBiotech's website, more than 500 life-science companies have settled in the state, creating more than 58,000 jobs with salaries of $78,000 or more.To continue the trend, the center strives to support teachers in the field."We want to make sure students and their parents know about careers in biotechnology, and get excited about those careers because their teachers are enabled to do exciting things in the classroom," said Kathleen Kennedy, Ph.D, vice president of education and training programs with NCBiotech.At Gaston Day School, the money will allow Byford's students to build a biological device to test water quality. They'll create bacteria with an additional DNA protein that will cause it to light up when exposed to high levels of arsenic, lead, or any other contaminants they set as an alarm."If it turns red, for example, you could tell that there was a contaminant in there above a given level," said Byford.Fitzgerald will use her school's new PCR machine, also know as a thermal cycler or DNA amplifier, to create a DNA fingerprint lab and to study the DNA of the abundant wild plants on campus.The applications for biotechology – from medical to environmental and beyond, said Fitzgerald – are endless. "It's a set of tools, and what everyone is doing right now is finding how many creative ways you can use these tools to answer the questions that pop up in all aspects of life," she said.What sparks a student's interest while young may have larger benefits for everyone down the line.Nguyen, who plans to pursue a career in medicine, said his research could lead to better cancer treatments in the future by limiting the harmful effects of chemotherapy on healthy tissue."If the nanoparticle will target the pancreatic cancer cell, it may be used in other kinds of cancer cells as well," he said.Byford said lab experiments give a more realistic picture of what science can be."Science is not experiments that you already know how they're going to come out," Byford said. "Science is asking the question that you don't know the answer to, collecting data, and then trying to figure out what the data means to figure out the answer, or maybe even ask another question."Friday, Jun. 28, 2013
Grants from NCBiotech will buy 'molecular Xerox machines' for DNA research

A Clear Voice for Science
I pointed out the Summer Triangle earlier this month. This famous pattern of stars is now at its best in the night sky. The Summer Triangle consists of three bright stars – Vega, Deneb and Altair – in three separate constellations. If you can find the Summer Triangle, you can use it to locate three of the sky's smallest constellations: Vulpecula the Fox, Delphinus the Dolphin and Sagitta the Arrow.
EarthSky's meteor shower guide for 2010
All three would be impossible to see from the city. Personally – true confession ahead here – I have never managed to identify Vulpecula in my 30+ years of stargazing. It is just so faint and so small!
On the other hand, the little constellations Delphinus and Sagitta are very distinctive. They are easy to see in a dark country sky, because both actually look somewhat like the objects/creatures for which they are named. Delphinus is supposed to be the Dolphin that carried a Greek poet – Arion – safely away from his enemies. Sagitta is sometimes considered to be an arrow shot from the bow of Hercules.
Our Summer Triangle series includes:
Part 1: Vega and its constellation Lyra
Part 2: Deneb and its constellation Cygnus
Part 3: Altair and its constellation Aquila

Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter has predicted that PlayStation 4 will retail for around $349 when it hits stores this holiday season.
The analyst also pinned a $399 price tag on Microsoft's Xbox One, which is also on track for a late 2013 launch.
Pachter dropped the comments during a pre-E3 chinwag with investors earlier today (via GI.biz). In addition to the retail price, he also offered that Sony's next-generation console has a build cost of $275, again lower than Microsoft's rig, which stands at $325.
"We believe the ability to watch live TV from a cable, telco, or satellite set-top box through Xbox One could entice an MSO to drive subscriptions through a subsidised box in exchange for a multi-year contract. The 'always connected' requirement for the Xbox One likely means that a broadband connection will be required, suggesting to us that ISPs may have an incentive to offer a subsidy as well," said the analyst.
"In addition, Microsoft could conceivably subsidise the Xbox One through prepaid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions (as it has done on a limited basis in the past) or premium Skype functionality as well. Similarly, Sony could subsidise the PS4 through prepaid PlayStation Network subscriptions, but unlike Microsoft, it does not have a history of doing so."
PS4 was unveiled at New York City event back in February, though Sony neglected to show off the actual hardware or offer any indication of how much it'll cost. More information will drop at E3 next week, so stay tuned to PSU.com for more details.
How much do you think PS4 will retail for? Is Pachter on target or way off the mark? Sound off below.

Alec Warner wrote: > Does anyone have a link to the no kernel GLSA news? No link, I'm afraid. But here is an excerpt from the email I received: "Thing is, we don't do Kernel GLSAs anymore : by the time all the kernel sources in Portage get fixed, months had passed and the issue was forgotten/exploited already. It's in the process of being remplaced by an Kernel Interactive Security Status system (called KISS) that will help assess the current vulnerabilities of your running kernel and help you chose when to upgrade, along with specific "vulnerability alerts" telling people that new big vulnerabilities have been found and to look into KISS for information on fixed kernels. Exploitable Local Root vulnerabilities would certainly trigger such an alert. For the moment, the best way to get informed is to monitor the "Kernel" component of the "Gentoo Security" product. Now that summer time and 2005.1 are over, I expect that KISS will be opened soon." This isn't finger pointing, or anything like that at all. Gentoo is the best distro for me, and that's why I use it, and everyone working on it does a great job. It's just that I relied on the GLSAs, and never heard anything to say that they weren't doing kernel GLSAs any more. Calum -- gpg : FC64 140F@... jabber: calum@... -- email@example.com mailing list

I came across the web site of an interesting org. that collects and distributes heirloom seeds. www.seedsavers.org. Some of you may know about it already, but I was impressed with how many heirloom tomato varieties they had. I always try a different kind along with the old better boy every year. They also have other vegetable and flower seeds.
On a different amusing note, I got a junk email yesterday from the Park's seed and plant company, and thought it was funny that they were advertising Mimosa trees for sale, "for a quick tropical feel and impact." As the this seems to take over parts of the South, its funny to wonder if anyone around here would buy one. |
Follow-Up Postings:
hi steve,seedsavers is fascinating and i like their catalog also.i emailed parks to let them know that the mimosa is an invasive species here,as much as kudzu,no reply yet. |
Lol That reminds me that when I lived in Missouri my next door neighbor asked me if I wanted to plant some of the Kudzu seed she had bought to prevent errosion on the steep bank at the back of our lots.I managed to convince her not to plant them. My next door neighbor here in Al. ordered some seeds for Hummingbird vines. When they came they were trumpet vines, which we used to call "Cow-itch" vines, her husband wouldn't let her plant them. |
SHAME on Park's! With the thousands of different kinds of seed and plants that they sell, you'd think that they could be responsible! I can't believe that any company, today, would still be allowed to sell Kudzu seed. I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to sell plants or seed, to plant the stuff, transport it, etc. anywhere in the US. (It's a Federally classified noxious weed.) I DO remember seeing it for sale many years ago, though. Yikes! |
Heres a link to that wonderful add that offers y'all your very own mimosa tree. |
Here is a link that might be useful: tree offer
I don't think that Parks is selling kudzu, if that's what you thought, rhizo_1. But selling Mimosa and Empress trees is pretty downright despicable and they are definitely selling both of those. |

I chose Illuminations, I love the show, the music and the fireworks are great!!!
My wife and I began a nighttime tradition the first night of our Honeymoon...we rode the boat from Wilderness Lodge to the Magic Kingdom and timed it so we could watch Wishes at the same time. We sat in the front of the boat and just swayed and watched...it was AMAZING! We do it every time we go to WDW! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
I voted Cirque love Fantasmic and illuminations, but visited the Cirque for the first time in Aug and was astounded, how do they do some of that stuff
This is tough i love watching Wishes , but thewhole mickey vs. the villians things just wins me over
yea for fantasmic!

"its a glorious three hour finale I call A Tribute to all Nations but Mostly AMERICA!"
"Now approaching Tomorrowland's Space Mountain"
I definitely agree. When we stayed at the Polynesian, we loved watching Wishes on the beach. We had seen it the night before in the park, but enjoyed it on the beach much better, away from the crowds. There were only about 4 other people on the entire beach watching it too. We didn't even know about the water pagent. That was a nice little bonus.

I love all the fireworks at night and the water pagent is great. It's like the Main Street Electrical on water.

Hospital Beds/Food
John Hemming (Birmingham, Yardley, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the estimated change in numbers of hospital beds is between 2005 and 2010, broken down by strategic health authority.
Liam Byrne (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department of Health; Birmingham, Hodge Hill, Labour)
The Department does not estimate changes in hospital bed numbers. The latest capacity planning exercise, conducted in 2004, was designed to ensure there was sufficient activity in place to deliver the 2006–07 to 2007–08 public service agreements targets. The Departmental focus was on the levels of elective, non-elective and diagnostics activity planned by strategic health authorities rather than bed numbers.
Determination of the number of hospital beds required to deliver planned levels of activity set out in local delivery plans is the responsibility of the national health service locally.
John Hemming MP
Posted on 5 Jun 2005 8:25 am (Report this annotation)
The point about this is that in the BBCSHA (Birmingham and Black Country Strategic Health Authority) area they are planning reductions of 1,405 beds (20%) over the next 5 years. This is part of a movement from secondary to primary health care. The big question is
"will it work"
More details on my blog
I think this is built into the assumptions behind Gershon, but have no evidence to justify that claim.

Thanks Bruce for the information and the prompt reply. Unfortunately, I will not get to Pensacola until late Wed. Would love to meet you. I have not been to the West Florida Genealogical Library. That may actually be a more fruitful visit than the cemetery at this point. Both branches of my mother's family tree have deep roots in northwest Florida. Maybe I will save the cemetery visit until it's cooler and I can confirm the connection.

Hello, and welcome to the Vocal Olympics. Or, as Blake called it, "that treadmill of vocal chords you'll be runnin' on." Tonight, the competition was so cutthroat, not even a self-described "triple threat" like the beat-boxing, grunge-rocking opera singer Cameron Novack (a.k.a. Novackaine), stood a chance to play for Team America. Though, to be fair, what brave soul would want a beat-boxing, grunge-rocking opera singer to represent this great nation?
Luckily, Christina Aguilera was also playing for the home team, and she never ceased to surprise us. One minute, she'd be slumped way down into her cleavage, half listening to the folks on stage, half contemplating something private, like, What ingredients go into a vodka soda again? The next minute, she was opening her mouth, and letting rip a gale-force voice strong enough to blow-dry all the gel in Carson's hair. At one point, she barely even let Cee Lo's singer get offstage without shaming him first! ("I like the way you sang, "They tried to make me go-oh to re-hab," she told Wade, publicly out-Winehouse-ing him in front of the crowd.) Say what you will about her, but Holy Mother of Snooki, the lady can sing. So tonight, let's start the breakdown with...
By far, my favorite part of the night was watching Christina and the sweet-pipes Sera Hill perform Mary J. Blige's "I'm Going Down" as if it were a full-blown, hold-my-diamond-knuckle-rings brawl. Sera busted out a Yeaaaaah. Christina countered with a Yeaah-aaaahh. Then they continued to yeah back and forth until it seemed they'd summoned the power to call Mary J. before them, jazz hands a-fluttering like tiny helicopters around her head. In Sera, Christina had definitely met her match.
All of this was a big relief since Sera admitted, pre-audition, that she'd be very sad if Christina didn't pick her. "She's one of my inspirations," admitted the petite R&B diva, whose fur and sequins combo confirmed that Xtina was a fashion inspiration as well. Luckily, Christina ended up being the only one with a spot left on her team, and after hearing Sera's smooth, gospel-infused voice hit every single note on that long slide up and down the octave ("My whole. World's. UP. Side. Dow-own"), the coach's freshly manicured fist came down hard on the red button.
"I've been waiting for something to come along and excite me as much as you did," Christina enthused. "At the end, I just wanted to grab a mic and get up there and sing it with you." And then she did go up and sing it with her, beautifully. Because when Christina Aguilera wants something to really excite her, that something had better be Christina Aguilera.
Team Aguilera also lucked out by scoring Glen Hansard of Once. Oh wait, sorry, that's actually Lee Koch, a California golden boy with a talent for making "good party breads." Yes, that means he's a baker, but it was important that he let the coaches know that he's "a musician who likes to bake," rather than "a baker who pursues music."
Having cleared that up, Lee launched into a perfectly nice but kind of forgettable, Ray LaMontagne-style version of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." Christina initially seemed unsure of him, but once he started blowing on his harmonica, she pushed her button, knowing that this could be a good symbolic move for a coach whose team didn't have any instrumentalists yet. "Even though I personally don't get up on stage and play an instrument, I work with some of the best musicians in the entire world," she insisted. Besides, she told Lee, "Your voice, it spoke to me." It sure did. And that speaking sounded a lot like Blake, Adam, and Cee Lo, all of whom were pointing to Christina's button and whispering, Pushitpushitpushit!
NEXT: If they're not the best rock band in Rixeyville, VA, at least they're the only rock band from Rixeyville, VA.

text: Not played yet, just been reading through the rules for our first game so this might be an obvious one somewhere. The turn has a specific action step where skill cards can be used, but many of the skill cards have actions that imply usage at any appropriate time rather than in that Action Step. I cant see anywhere that mentions whether skill cards can be used at any time, or in any specific quantity. Are there any limits to timing or numbers of people playing skill cards?

People with lupus are known to react badly to legumes which are beans, peas and lentils. Alfalfa sprouts are in this group too and that's why they are not allowed. Other foods may or may not cause problems, it depends on the individual. But everyone with lupus needs to be careful with legumes and limit or avoid them to prevent flare-ups.
Everything that's unhealthy in general is also unhealthy for people with lupus. Processed foods with lots of preservatives are problematic, as well as foods high in sugar and salt.
Moderate consumption of everything else is okay. Variety is key. It's important to eat foods that have real nutritional value with vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and protein. I personally try to eat organic and all natural. I cook my meals and try to include a little bit of everything in my diet.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Luigi!
Facts about Luigi
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Luigi's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Luigi is a sweet 5 month old, DSH, Brown Tabby. He is a very curious boy. He is very cuddly and loves to be held. He is very food orientated and is an easy boy to have around. Please consider giving this sweet boy a chance.
Adoption Fees: All of our cats are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV, given flea/tick & heartworm preventative, & fecal tested (dewormed if needed) before being adopted out. Luigi's adoption fee is $100 including tax; adoptive homes are given all vet records at the adoption.
Other Pets at Saved By A Whisker Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Luigi, a Eagan Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Eagan, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Eagan.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Eagan already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Eagan breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Eagan paves the way for another one to be saved.

Boyhood – the film no single mom should see
Saturday night, when my little guy goes to my mom's so I can have a night 'out.' Of course, the reality is that I typically haven't thought of what to do on this 'night out,' my single friends have plans and my married friends are, well, married. With a few exceptions, though, I avoid planning ahead for Saturday night because it seems when I do plan then I am so bloody tired I end up wishing I hadn't and could just sit at home watching a marathon of whatever show I am currently making my way through on Netflix.
The result of this not planning ahead/general malaise is that I am frequently left at 6:00pm on a Saturday trying to sort something out to do alone and, not infrequently, this means going to a movie at my neighborhood theatre by myself. I don't have a problem with this, per se, and yet each time it feels just a teensy weensy bit pathetic that I haven't managed to even rustle up a co-watcher on Tinder or something.
This is generally how I select films to see: 1) are they playing at the Los Feliz 3 or Vista Theater – because I can walk to them and 2) have I heard of them. In my passive pursuit of non-planning, I typically know little if anything about the plot/story line. Tonight, I headed over for the 8:40 showing of Boyhood – which I had heard about mostly because the cast was shot over a 12 year period so you actually see them growing up/getting older.
I made my way into the theatre and – it was weird – everyone was sitting with two spaces between them and the next person. In the centers of all but the front rows. I picked my favorite row and there was this guy, right in the middle, with two seats on either side of him. It was awkward because this meant I either had to sit next to him or the people on the other side of the two seats which is totally not kosher in America where there is generally a one-seat buffer between parties. I like sitting center screen and, since it was going to be awkward any way I worked it, I went for it and sat next to the guy in the middle. Then a bunch more people came in and a couple agitated to have others move to make room for them and pretty soon ours and the adjacent rows were full.
I kind of felt bad for him as I had the idea he left the two seats intentionally because of his intense social anxiety or something but, when I made a comment about the place filling up, he got all chatty. He seemed nice. I thought, wow, here I came to a movie alone and I met this nice, attractive guy. A couple of times, his elbow brushed mine on the arm rest and it wasn't accidental, you know? I wouldn't go so far as to say there were sparks but I did imagine possibly going for a drink after or something – you know, what normal people do.
But then, there was the movie. I won't spoil the whole thing for you but one major plot point is that the boy whose boyhood we are following keeps having these awful stepfather characters come into his life. In the end, it's his more or less absentee dad that's the good guy. His mother is smart and beautiful and none of the guys seems awful at the start but over time they devolve and she has to flee or kick them out. Now, I don't know about other single mamas but, for me, this is pretty much my worst nightmare – that I will bring someone into my son's life who will hurt him even more than his dad's absence does. As the film ended, I wondered what we would do. Would he say something to me? Would it be awkward? Would we go for drinks and end up together only to have it end up that he's a total freak who would damage me and/or my son forever? It was all too much, really.
So, rather than wait for the credits to finish as I am now in the habit of doing (my kid always wants to wait to see if there are any little surprises at the end), while the titles from the sound track was scrolling, I just left.

The Pitch Season 1
This season of The Pitch originally debuted in the fall of 2011.
A college senior. A corporate banker. A toy maker and a fashion marketer. Betabeat got a broad swath of applications for our first web series from young companies around the tri-state area and beyond. Some of them were following a passion they couldn't ignore, all while keeping their day job. Others decided the opportunity in front of them was too big, safety net be dammed.
But to get funding, a company has to catch an investor's eye. The format for finding those backers, more often than not, is the pitch: an impassioned series of selling points that explain why your company is the next big thing and why you are the right person to pull it off.
Good venture capitalists, like baseball players, pick the right pitch to swing at. Just as a top slugger hits .300, the best VCs typically back three winning companies out of every ten tries. The elite have a higher average, and a few home runs along the way.
We sifted through hundreds of eager applicants to find some of New York's top prospects. This series captured the process as they pitched investors Lerer Ventures face-to-face.

Gerald Henderson took time to answer a few questions during yesterday's media availability –
On how Duke matches up with Wake -
By the numbers, we don't match up. But we've played big teams, Florida State and Georgia Tech. We
have to go to our strengths. We'll continue to game plan and stick to the same things we've been doing.
On the tremendous size of the Wake frontcourt -
Aminu, Johnson, McFarland – they're all really good players. But it's not one player we need to stop because they have a lot of good players.
On how to come out with a win -
It'll be a team effort and we hope to have a really good gameplan going for us. If we play good defense and rebound the basketball, we have a chance to win. No matter how our offense is going, we'll have a chance to win if we do those things.
On his getting the ball in position to score in the Duke offense -
Coaches are really inventive when it comes to sets and plays, so we run off of that. It gives us a lot of options with Kyle and Jon … we just try to get it to players where they are at their best. It helps me drive and always attack the basket and if I am covered, there is always a guy in the corner.
On how to protect Kyle -
One of our biggest things is to try to play without fouling. With Kyle, whoever the big is he's guarding at the time, we'll just have to play our defense. Obviously we have help side defense that's pretty strong and that's one of the biggest things in our defense in how aggressive we play.
On how Wake plays -
They like to get out on the break. Everyone knows that from watching them play. We'll have to fan out and protect our basket.
On being ranked number one in both polls -
It really doesn't mean as much as people talk about it. At this point we feel like we're one of the best teams in the country, but I guess people with our ranking think we are the best team. With our season … that won't help us until we get to the NCAA tournament. We just try to win all of the games and all the rankings will take care of itself.
On last season's defeat in Winston Salem -
They jumped on us early. For a point we were leading but just fell apart.

Exploring Ko Libong on motorbike
At first glance, the southwest Thai island of Ko Libong may not seem like the greatest vacation spot. The coast is on the rocky side, and the golden sand beaches are grainier than some of the more popular nearby islands. Yet, for those willing to tread off the usual tourist track Libong offers a charming … read the full post

Love is like a drug, not having it in my life is driving me insane.
Hello everyone, my name is Dylan! Its nice to meet you all. I am 18 and reside in the USA. I'm generally a nice person but when it comes to politics or religion I am very opinionated and sometimes may say some rude things, so I apologize in advance. I'm an all around geek, I love anime, video games, music, trading card games, and occasionally book. My goal is to become a professional writer, I'm not sure which type of writer, I guess I'll figure that one out soon enough.
