For those of you who can spend days looking at photos of irises, here's more to get you drooling. Gmason's photo page has kept me up all night in the past. |

Follow-Up Postings:
WOW! I see some I WANT!!!!! |
how did he get the newbies to bloom in only 2 years? I have some seedlings that are over 3 years old, & they are still just baby size. what do I need to do to them to get blooms? any suggestions? |
In all my life, I've never seen iris like these! I'm very new to growing iris. I dug up some iris in my mom's yard not knowing what they looked like. Half of them bloomed last spring, but none were very exciting, all solid peach or periwinkle colors. I have tended them all this summer, just happy that I could get anything to bloom at all. I ordered some mail order blue shades, but I never saw anything like jmason's. How could I get something like that? sles |

Hi sleslie, You can get all of these irises and more, for very reasonable prices. The first thing to check for is if there is a local iris society in your neck of the woods. I belong to the San Fernando Valley Iris Society. From August through October, they have sales of iris rhizomes for very reasonable prices. Google the American Iris Society to find one near you. Second, I predict you will be experiencing a great deal of pleasure in the next few days, as you look over the online catalogs of iris growers. Here are the names of a few you can google, and in the link below is a whole list of growers you can check out. Iris rhizomes cost between $3.00 and $50.00 apiece, and there are usually shipping charges. The expensive ones are brand new irises that growers have just "introduced" to the public. As to your question on the other page about dividing, I would wait until next year after the bloom to divide them. If you can see lots of rhizomes crawling on top of old ones, then maybe now would be better, but otherwise it can wait. Growers Renee |

Staten Island To Get Largest Ferris Wheel

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Developer Richard Marin says he's building the world's largest Ferris Wheel. It's planned for the shore of New York City's Staten Island. It's part of a larger development which is going ahead even though critics noted is partly in a flood zone. Flooding from Hurricane Sandy prompted Mr. Marin to make only minor adjustments. He says the project is a boon for Staten Island, and in fairness, the top of the Ferris Wheel will be above any storm surge. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Aim: To assess the relevant literature using a modification of the criteria listed in the introductory paper to this issue [Curzon and Toumba, 2006], and to review several new publications on pulpotomies with different materials and techniques that appeared after previously published reviews. Methods: A search of the relevant literature on pulpotomies was identified through Medline between the years 1966–2005. The search generated a total of 358 citations and sieving of these papers was conducted by examining the paper title and assessing its relevance [Loh et al, 2004]. Only clinical studies (non-specified) and retrospective studies were included for assessment. There were 17 criteria (considered major) weighed 2 points and 8 criteria weighed 1 point. A paper that would score between 38–42 points (90+ %) was assessed as Grade A, a score from 32 to 37 points (75–89%) was Grade B1, and between 25 to 31 points (60–74%) Graded B2. Any other paper that reached 24 points or less (less than 59%) was rated Grade C. Results: Of the 358 papers originally identified 48 clinical trials were evaluated according to the set criteria. There was only one paper grade A, 5 papers graded B1, 3 graded B2 and 39 received a C grade. Formocresol or ferric sulphate medicaments were found to be likely to have similar clinical/radiographic results, and MTA seemed to be a more favourable pulp dressing. Conclusion: No conclusion can be made as to the optimum treatment or technique for pulpally involved primary teeth. More high quality, properly planned prospective studies are necessary to clarify these points.

Former Frasca Food and Wine pros will open Lower48 restaurant in Ballpark this fall
After prowling for more than a year to find the perfect space to open his first restaurant, Mario Nocifera, a former Frasca Food & Wine alum who commanded the front of the house at the nationally recognized Boulder restaurant for two years, finally dried the ink on a space last week at 2020 Lawrence Street, a mixed-use loft, restaurant and retail development just a bat's swing from Coors Field.

The 3,800-square-foot build out, which is scheduled for completion in early fall, will actually be run by two past Frasca pros: Nocifera and his executive chef and business partner Alex Figura, both of whom have incredibly impressive backgrounds that extend beyond Frasca: Nocifera worked at the Little Nell in Aspen, along with Frasca co-owner Bobby Stuckey (the two were housemates); Charles Nob Hill, a now-closed San Francisco restaurant that was owned by celeb chef Michael Mina; and the San Francisco Ritz-Carlton, where he was the manager and maître d' of the swanky hotel's restaurant. Nocifera is currently running the front of the house at Fruition. And Figura is no slouch either, having solidified his chops at Blue Hill at Stone Barns -- and Blue Hill Farm -- in Pocantico Hills, New York; Osteria and Verti in Philadelphia; and El Cellar de Can Roca, a three-star Michelin-rated restaurant in Spain.
1515 Lawrence, one of the spaces of which will soon house Lower48.
"Alex and I met at Frasca, and his skill set is just amazing, plus we have a great chemistry and a very similar approach to the hospitality business. When we worked together at Frasca, it really made me realize that we saw to eye-to-eye," says Nocifera.
Together, the duo will open Lower48, a restaurant that obviously references the Lower 48 States. But the name, says Nocifera, pertains to more than just the generic term. He was reading Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, a book by Paul Greenberg that explores the four primary fishes that dominate most restaurant menus: salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna -- and the problem of overfishing -- and Greenberg, who
researches, among other things, salmon fishing in Alaska, continuously identifies the Lower 48 States within his text. "It's an important cultural book that everyone should read, and his references to the Lower 48 States resonated with me, and the name and concept came after reading the book," he explains.

This morning I mentioned a craft I'm working on to share at church this weekend and received a few calls and emails, so I figured it would be best to put the directions right here. They are called "Beloved Bars." Basically, they are a full sized chocolate bar, that you decorated with some encouraging scripture to pass out to your brothers and sisters in Christ on the Sunday before Valentine's Day. After all, we are commanded to love God, and love one another, before all things!
First, buy a package of full sized chocolate bars. If you can find the ones wrapped with foil, then paper, you can save a step. If not, wrap the bars with foil, right over their plastic packaging. Next, cut paper to 5" by 6". I use scrapbook paper, because it's cute! The 5" side goes the length/width of the chocolate bar, so a little foil peeks out. The 6" side wraps around the bar, so you can tack or glue it down on the back. I use glue dots because I don't have the patience to wait for glue to dry.
Next, print a label, to glue down over the paper, just on the front of the chocolate bar. Mine are about 4" x 2" and say "Beloved Bar." Then, I typed out 1John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." I also add some die cut hearts, to make the whole thing really cute.
It's so fun to give these out! What a wonderful way to bless someone who may not have a sweetheart right now, or who just needs a pick-me-up. Besides, who doesn't love chocolate!
When I get home tonight, I will take a photo and upload it here, so you can see what I mean! Have fun! I'd love to hear how God blesses you if you decide to give this a try.
Happy Valentine's Day,
Here's a batch I made a year or two ago. I didn't do the foil wrap first and the labels aren't as cute as the ones I did last night with my friend Jen, but they give you an idea.

9-10 PM · CBS · Returns Oct. 9
William Petersen has already decided that episode 10 (airing in January) of CSI's upcoming season will mark the end of his run as a series regular. While eager to find new challenges in theater and maybe even cable, Petersen knows his departure may not sit well with the show's 17 million fans, especially given the high-profile exits of Jorja Fox and Gary Dourdan last season. ''We need to have new life, new blood,'' says Petersen, who will retain an executive producer credit on the drama. ''It will be good for the show, and good for the writers, to have new characters. And that will be good for the audience.''
Of course, those Sin City murders don't solve themselves, which is why the producers made it job one to recruit another marquee star to replace Petersen. Actually, make that someone who'll follow Petersen, since no one can really replace ''the King'' (Petersen's not-so-ironic nickname on the set). ''It's not like we're hiring another person and calling them Gil Grissom,'' explains executive producer Naren Shankar. ''I think you're making a terrible mistake when you think of a new character in those terms. 'We'll make him exactly like Gil Grissom except he hates bugs!' We're not doing that. The new person has to be his own character.''
Since bringing back Liev Schreiber's Michael Keppler was clearly not an option (''It's too bad we killed him because he and I could have rotated,'' quips Petersen), the producers put out feelers to John Malkovich and Kurt Russell before setting their sights on Laurence Fishburne to play a research pathologist-turned-college professor with an appetite for crime: He's got the genetic profile of a killer! His yet-to-be-named character will join as an entry-level CSI and work with Grissom in the 9th and 10th episodes. Fishburne, who hasn't done a regular TV gig since appearing as Cowboy Curtis in Pee-wee's Playhouse in the late '80s, admitted to reporters that he felt ''a little stupid and embarrassed that I hadn't watched the show before. But the episodes they sent to me were really engaging and dark and moody, like a lot of the work I've been involved in.''
Lauren Lee Smith (The L Word) will also join the cast in episode 3 as a young and sarcastic CSI named Riley Adams. But perhaps the most noteworthy season 9 addition is a blast from the past. Jorja Fox whose character, Sara Sidle, walked out on both her job and her engagement to Gil will return, just 11 months after quitting the show, to help solve the murder of Dourdan's Warrick Brown. ''Even though I agreed to make myself available in the future, I was surprised to be coming back so soon,'' admits Fox, 40, who was vacationing in Costa Rica last March when she received the call to return to CSI. Fox knew that Petersen was negotiating his exit but had no idea that Dourdan was leaving too. ''It was definitely an 'Are you sitting down?' phone call. Like, 'How many rum punches have you had?'''

Mortons Corners Volunteer Fire Department holds installation dinner
BY: Dave DeLuca | April 12, 2013
SPRINGVILLE — The Mortons Corners Volunteer Fire Department held its 66th annual installation dinner on April 6.
The event was catered by Apple Dumplin' Restaurant and music was provided by NY Rockin' Revue.
Department Chief Steve Bugary acted as the speaker of ceremonies and manned the microphone, throughout the night.
Bugary welcomed attendees to the dinner. Truck 2 Captain Bob Darling led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance and a member of NY Rockin Revue sang the National Anthem.
Bugary recognized several guests, including Jim and Elaine Krezmien, Matt and Kim Willibey, Darlene and Chuck Schweickert and Leslie Gibbin. Kevin Mumbach volunteered as the bartender, for the evening's festivities.
Following the dinner, awards were distributed. The department responded to a total of 51 calls, in 2012. The top five responders included Don Haley, with 30 calls; Bob Darling, with 31; Patrick Timmel, with 37; Brenda Singleton, with 41 and David Brooks, with 45.
Ryan Lilley and Lenard Story received awards for their "honesty and support." Patrick Timmel and Kevin Story were given service awards, for their five-year commitments to the department.
Junior explorers Randy Darling, Tucker Grimm, Lilley and Jordan Story were recognized, for their contributions.
Other individuals were acknowledged, for their years of service. Chris Bacon received tenure. Frank Wise was commemorated for 20 years, Brian Schneider was recognized for his 30 years and Mike Schneider was commended for his 50 years.
The department's Explorer of the Year Award was presented to Lilley.
Taking home firefighter of the year honors was Jeff Singleton. "This person is very outgoing and full of expertise, in the fire and EMS field," Bugary said, about Singleton. "Jeff has never let me down. At any time, I could call for his help, day or night; if I called for his assistance, he was there. He has served over 26 years in the fire and EMS field."
East Concord Supervisor Gary Eppolito swore in the officers for 2013.
Taking their oaths were President Bob Darling, Vice President Matt Schneider, Secretary Shannon Metzger, Treasurer Florence Schneider, Sergeant at Arms Lilley, and Legal Counsel Bugary.
The board of directors included Kris Bacon, Frank Boice, Brian Schneider, Cheryl Story, Kevin Story and Timmel.
The 2013 line officers were also recognized. The chiefs include Jeff Story, Mike Schneider, Singleton and Bugary.
Representing their trucks as captains are Darling, Truck 3 Captain Darryle Brooks, Truck Captain Dave Brooks and Bugary, who will captain Truck 7.
Cheryl Story is the fire EMS captain. Acting as fire police captain is Don Haley. Singleton took on the role of equipment officer and Matt Schneider was named the training officer.
"As an elected official, we're here to do a lot of official duties," Eppolito said, to those he was swearing in.
"One one of the things I'm always proud of, is being asked to come in front of the fire departments. The job that you guys do is probably the most important thing you can do, to give back to the community.
"The town board is well aware of the kind of time and training you people put in; not to mention the kind of risks that go on," Eppolito added.
The floor was cleared for dancing and music by NY Rockin' Revue, to end the nights festivities.

Phipps Memorial is a family owned and operated business serving the Central Texas community. Originally, Walter Dietz (Joe Phipps� grandfather) went into the monument business in 1903. Jim Phipps, Joe�s father, began working for his father-in-law at Weller and Dietz Memorial Company in 1933. Shortly afterwards, Weller was bought out to form Dietz Memorial Company. In 1939, Jim Phipps formed his own monument company, the Jim Phipps Memorial Company. Joe assumed operation of Phipps Memorial following his father�s death in 1991 and teams with his son, Joe Jr., and daughter, Donna, to form a fourth generation landmark in the monument trade. Since 1991, new life has been poured into the company with ever expanding facilities and state of the art technologies, while still maintaining the original integrity of the company. Joe Phipps is the only monument retailer to have earned all four awards given by the Elberton Granite Association for creative designs, sales skills, monument retailing, and retail shop procedures. He has also been recognized by the National Association of Monument Builders of North America for both the 1996 and 1997 Knowledge Quest Awards. Phipps Memorial is the only retail company in Texas which has been OCEA approved in safety. Since this time, Joe has conducted numerous lectures for the Monument Builders of the Southwest regarding OCEA standards. Phipps Memorial is proud to have received several awards for our memorials. We are the 1994 Monument Builders of the Southwest Design contest winner, which was the only one ever received by a memorial company in Waco, Texas. We are also proud of the ATF monument at Mt. Carmel, which won a best art award. Phipps Memorial has been recognized for outstanding service with our memorial to the children killed at the Head Start program in the Oklahoma City bombing. Phipps Memorial is located in Waco, Texas and serves the surrounding community within a seventy-five mile radius. However, in certain circumstances we do produce and ship out of our area. Based on our cost saving measures of being our own manufacturer and using computers in our design process, our prices are highly competitive in both local and distant regions. For these situations, please contact our office for prices and special arrangements. |

A component of Microsoft Windows | |
Chkdsk.exe in action on drive C:
Details | |
Type | Utility software |
Included with | DOS, OS/2 and Windows |
Related components | |
Microsoft ScanDisk (Co-existed with Chkdsk in Windows 9x and MS-DOS 6.x) |
CHKDSK (short for "check disk") is a system tool in DOS, OS/2 and Windows. It verifies the file system integrity of a volume and fixes logical file system errors. It is similar to the fsck command in Unix.
On Windows NT operating systems, CHKDSK can also check the disk surface for bad sectors and mark them. (In MS-DOS 6.x and Windows 9x, this is a task done by Microsoft ScanDisk.) Windows Server version of CHKDSK is RAID-aware and can fully recover data in bad sectors of a disk in a RAID-1 or RAID-5 array if other disks in the set are intact.[1]
CHKDSK can be run from DOS prompt, Windows Explorer, Windows Command Prompt or Recovery Console.[2]
On Windows NT family, a standard CHKDSK scan consists of three phases of testing file metadata. It looks for errors but does not fix them unless it is explicitly ordered to do so. Same applies to surface scan: This test, which could be extremely time-consuming on large or low-performance disks, is not carried out unless explicitly requested. CHKDSK requires exclusive write access to the volume to perform repairs.[3][4]
Because of the exclusive access requirement and the time-consuming nature of CHKDSK operation, Windows 8 implemented a new file system health model in which the operating system fixes errors on the volumes as it encounters them. In the event that the problem is grave and a full scan is required, Action Center notifies the user to take the volume offline at the first convenience.[5]
Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 added self-healing ability, turned on by default, in addition to providing the CHKDSK command. It detects physical file system errors and silently fixes them on the fly. Thus, many problems previously discovered on running CHKDSK never appear. It is administrated by fsutil repair
The MS-DOS 5 bug[edit]
CHKDSK and UNDELETE in MS-DOS 5.0 have a bug which can corrupt data: If the file allocation table of a disk uses 256 sectors, running CHKDSK /F
can cause data loss and running UNDELETE
can cause unpredictable results. This normally affects disks with a capacity of approximately a multiple of 128 MB. This applies to CHKDSK.EXE
and UNDELETE.EXE
with a date of 04/09/91 (April 9, 1991). This bug was fixed in MS-DOS 5.0a.[8]

Eleven of his thirty plays survive virtually complete. These, together with fragments of some of his other plays, provide the only real examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy, and they are used to define the genre.[4] Also known as the Father of Comedy[5] and the Prince of Ancient Comedy,[6] Aristophanes has been said to recreate the life of ancient Athens more convincingly than any other author.[7] His powers of ridicule were feared and acknowledged by influential contemporaries; Plato[8][9] singled out Aristophanes' play The Clouds as slander that contributed to the trial and subsequent condemning to death of Socrates although other satirical playwrights[10] had also caricatured the philosopher.

Some women just love a man in a uniform. Joe Jackson's "Real Men" confirms that some fellas do too. David Petraeus at least knows the truth of the former supposition.
Is it wrong to cut a cheating husband more slack because his paramour is hotter than an exploding daisy cutter? General Petraeus is sixty. His former mistress is a hotty--I meant forty. If he had been dating Monica Lewinsky's chunkier older sister, my sense is that the public condemnation--if the public still actually disapproves of any behavior between consenting adults--would be more audible. Instead, since Petraeus's choice of partners is someone akin to a real-life Wonder Woman, the disapproval is muted. The culture is so superficial that who you cheat with, not that you cheat, determines your standing.
Prince Charles was unlucky enough, at least from a public relations standpoint, to shack up with a woman who, on a good day, could have passed for Lady Di's aunt. Public opinion ostensibly condemned the affair but really frowned upon Charles' dating partner. A Posh Spice or an Elizabeth Hurley might have mitigated the negative public sentiment. But Camilla just didn't meet their approval. The British public felt it had a stake in the Prince of Wales' choice of partners--and I suppose given the vestiges of tax-supported monarchy, they do. Princes are supposed to date younger and prettier. Cheat on St. Diana, sure. But don't do it with a consort who couldn't upstage her in a beauty contest. That was Charles' sin.
It's a superficial reaction. But so is ditching your wife of the past 38 years for a women with whom you can have a great present but no future. Alas, even a few of the few publicly wagging their fingers at General Petraeus would privately give him a high-five.
I think most people, male and female alike, can rationalize a dalliance if the object of that dalliance is attractive. Putting oneself in those shoes brings an understanding of how the perp could have done it.
Howie Carr has a funny shtick when a woman is in trouble, upon assessment of her physical attributes, whether she is guilty or not guilty of the accusations. Guilty being a dog; not guilty being a babe.
I agree that Paula Shagwell is a babe and it would be hard to imagine that being alone and half way around the world with all of the power and luxury afforded to a guy like Petraeus that something would not develop. What I found semi-creepy was her description of the sixty year old man being a magnificent physical specimen. Not sure if that reference is to a man who keeps himself in top physical condition or other more genetic attributes.
I just don't think this Paula is that good looking, but I seem to be in the minority. Jill Kelly doesn't do much for me either. Different strokes, I guess.
I see, more of a Dana Plato man, eh?
"Homer's here all week, and don't forget to tip the bartender.."
Duty. Honor. Country. (sigh)
And btw, what's wrong with Dana Plato? Getting past that criminal thing, and the fact that she's now dead, she was hot. Hot chick with an element of danger. What's not to like? I miss the 80's.
Loved the 80's. Crazy uncomplicated women looking to equal or dial up what men like. Last decade of truly original and creative music. Didn't watch much network TV (still don't) so had to look Dana Plato up. Sad. Did I mention the drugs in the 80's?
Nothing is wrong (other than all that shit that was wrong) with Dana Plato.

Looks like a classic case of nursery soil to me. I would get that tree out of the pot, remove the moss and any glued on rocks, etc. Place it in a well draining bonsai soil mix when you repot it back into that pot. It may be too moist. Otherwise, that Jade looks pretty healthy to me. I am colorblind, so if someone notices discoloration that I do not...sorry. |
thank you so much for the reply. i removed the moss and observed the soil. it looked like a very soft dust something that mixed with sand. i never did re-potting before. is there a particular brand of bonsai soil i should use?? now the temperature is about 95F..is this a good time to repot or should i wait for little cooler days??... |
Your plant is Portulacaria afra. It has a lot of common names - mini-jade/dwarf jade/elephant food/elephant bush/ spekboom .... Late Jun - early Jul is the best time to repot. As suggested, a very fast draining, well-aerated soil is best. The soil I use: Al |
thank u so much..your photos are really helpful...you have a very beautiful plant...love it...how old is it??... |
Portulucarias can take serious heat. We have some along our fence line that are 7 foot tall and can weather 110 degree days with low humidity and no water without a problem. I agree that a gritty mix would be a good idea. Don't be afraid to prune it. I prune long internode shoots on my potted ones quite frequently. When I am starting the training on them I prune them up and clip all the leaves off so that it looks like a twig. They bounce back quickly with smaller leaves and denser growth. Nice one tapla.:) |
i re-potted it as per the instructions and there are so many new leaves come up now. it is getting good indirect sunlight all day long. but somehow it still drops one or two leaves everyday. i really don't know what more i can do to stop this. please help... |
It sounds like it's throwing off old leaves. I wouldn't worry about it too much since it's sprouting new growth. Just don't let the new growth get leggy and keep the new shoots pruned. I usually strip off the big old leaves anyway to encourage new compact growth. |
Hi there...as my tree still dropping the leaves i thought i will keep outdoors for a while and surprisingly it worked...didn't drop a single leaf from past four weeks...growing nice and healthy...but two days ago i brought it inside as the temp are becoming low (around 55F in the night) and now i see one leaf on the ground. i keep it near to my patio window and it is getting full day indirect sunlight. do you think it needs more light?? what kind of a light i can use indoors and for how many hours. please advise..thank you... |
Mmmm...I expect it will drop a few leaves while it re-adjusts to the indoor micro-climate. I have a couple of P.afa plants and multiple Jades. Though this is the first winter I will be going through with them, the advice I've gotten from the cactus & succulent board has been dead on so far. Water + cold = rot, and a sad succulent plant owner. You should decrease water as the weather gets colder & give it a little time. As long as it's in a gritty mix, gets plenty of morning sunlight, & continues to put on new growth, I would say it's doing fine =) Doing a GW search on p. afra & jade (as I believe the culture is very similar if not the same) will give you lots of insight on how to handle anything that may come up. Hanging out at the cactus & succulent board will help too. This past summer, I put all of mine outside on my patio & they did really well for me. I'm in zone 7a & have all of mine back inside. It is said they are cool weather growers, so as long as the don't freeze or fry, all should be well =) Good luck! |

My elephant jade bonsai regularly drops all its leaves when I bring it in, they often dont regenerate regular leaves again until outside again. Its about 8 and doin fine. I wouldnt worry much, just dont overwater it. Its tough as nails, and the cuttings root with ease. |
Can't really comment on having to bring them indoors over the winter living in SoCal But there's one suggestion I'd like to make & I say this about all plants Plant acclimate to their surroundings & constantly moving them & changing their surroundings/environment can't be good for them Like one day they get full sun & the next they get filtered indoor light & one day they get 16 hours of sun then 10 the next day & 13 the day after that I feel that that stresses them out as you're not giving them time to settle in & acclimate or adapt to any one growing condition because your constantly changing Just my 2 cents |
it dropped all its leaves....and the tiny branches too....it looks alive but no growth...no new leaves coming up...i didnt water it from past four weeks....its getting indirect sun light..and i arranged for a plant light too...i really dont know what else i can do...can't understand what's really the problem is.....how can i save my tree...please help.... |
It looks far from happy but it doesn't look dead So there's a good chance of it bounching back Jade is a pretty tough plant Not sure where you're at or the weather conditions there I would consider jade more of an outdoor than indoor plant Best Of Luck |
i can't move it outdoors as the temp are freezing...always below 40F...if i can keep it safe indoors for another 3 months i can move it out in March.... |
What did you use for soil when you repotted? Did you inspect carefully for spider mites? do you know how to do that? Have you been fertilizing? with what? Did you bare-root when you repotted and were the roots free of root mealybug? Al |

You didn't water for FOUR WEEKS?! No wonder it dropped all of its leaves. This isn't a Jade - not in the same Family, not in the

I have always had Jad/ElephantFood in my garden but never considered it for Bonsai material. If this picture shows up you will see two different types. The one in the front with small leaves and grows more apical and has a red tone to the trunk.This plant is about 2 1/2 feet tall. The other in the back ground is very large probably about 4 1/2 feet tall with a large grey trunk about 4 inches in diameter. The leaves on this one are 1 to 2 inches long and thick. Because they are succulents and have such soft/wet tissue they break very easily. I think the larger one would have smaller leaves if it got more sun. We throw these away when ever they break pieces off or we trim it for size. I have seen them before used as Bonsai but never thought any one was serious about them. I mean would a Japanese trained Bonsai artist use a Jad plant? I've always been interested in Bonsai and just joined a club and will be taking some classes this January. If I took a Jad into the club would they laugh at me? |
All you need do to see if anyone is serious about Portulacaria bonsai is use the words in bold to do a search, and look at the images. It is indeed a plant entirely suited to world class bonsai, whether the artist was trained in Japan or not. Crassula ovata, on the other hand, doesn't lend itself well to being a subject that makes believable bonsai. That said, I have a nonbonsai-growing friend that is happy to be lightened by a good bottle of wine or two in exchange for an annual pruning of her C ovatas and potulacarias, and I employ the same pruning principles on the Jade as I would on other trees. It's a very large specimen with a 6"+ trunk, and it looks quite believable as a very large bonsai, but lacks the grace and fine texture with which other trees can be endowed. Once 'bonsai' is ingrained in the way you think, it will influence the way you prune anything, even if the subject is entirely inappropriate as bonsai material. It can't be helped, lest you simply maintain a hands-off policy and leave the plant to it's own devices. Al |

Al is absolutely right! :-) Iamdunn, in your pic you have Elephant's Bush (Port. afra) in the front, and a true Jade (Crassula ovata) Josh |

A 30-year-old Mokena man accidentally shot himself in the leg while arming himself before meeting with a couple who had contacted him through Craigslist about buying his bicycle, police said.
Kenneth Dangman III, 10157 Kirkstone Way, Court B, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm following the April 28 incident, according to police.
They said Dangman invited the couple to his mother's house in the 11900 block of 195th Street to see the bicycle. After ordering his mother to stay inside, Dangman entered a minivan in the driveway with the handgun in his waistband and the gun discharged, shooting him in the thigh, police said.
Dangman's mother told police that the buyers left shortly after the shooting when she told them she had called 911.
When police arrived, Dangman was bleeding inside the garage and his mother was treating his wound, according to police. They said the gun, a Glock semi-automatic pistol, had been secured in a locked case before police arrived.
Police said Dangman has a valid firearm owner's ID card but not a concealed carry permit. The bullet was later discovered in the floor of the van between the driver's seat and center console.
Dangman was treated at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox.

"Brandy's now dead. Danny Martinez must be sentenced to death."
May 7, 1999
When the lawyers in the Riggan case finished their closing arguments, the presiding judge, Frank Plaut, surprised those in attendance by announcing that the panel's decision would be ready the next morning.
After a week of deliberation, it is clear that the panel in Danny Martinez's case did not have nearly as easy a time making their decision. But finally, the word comes down that the judges are ready to announce their verdict.
The courtroom quickly fills.
Angela Metzger enters with her family. She doesn't think Danny will get the death penalty, but she will not be disappointed. Either way, his life has already been forfeited.
There is no winning here. Apparently not even any lessons learned. Just a few weeks ago, she noticed a small newspaper article--only a few paragraphs, really--about a fourteen-year-old girl who had been picked up on Federal Boulevard and raped by three men. Unlike Brandy, though, this girl was released several hours later. Hasn't anybody been listening?
If Angela feels anything about this moment, it is her heart going out to the woman across the aisle. She'd been sickened by the way the defense attorneys had attacked Danny's mother. Theresa wasn't perfect. But her son was a grown man. He'd made his own choices that night.
Twenty feet away, Theresa Swinton tries to control her own fear as well as that of her daughter, who is already in tears. Theresa's mouth is set, and she holds her eyes open wide to keep from crying herself.
She has prayed all night. Please, don't let them kill my son. But she isn't asking for any miracles. Danny should spend the rest of his life in prison for what he did. That, she believes, looking at the back of her son's head, is justice.
Before the verdict was announced after Danny's trial three months before, she told her family and Danny's supporters that she didn't want any outbursts--however the verdict came down--out of respect for Brandy's family. She has repeated that request, but this time Judge Anderson makes it official for both sides.
When the panel enters, Anderson instructs the audience, attorneys and defendant to remain standing. He thanks the Martinez and DuVall families for preserving the decorum of his courtroom throughout the proceedings.
He recognizes that emotions are high, however, and so takes the unusual step of saying that he won't tolerate any "outbursts, cursing, clapping, cheers or obscene gestures" at the announcement of the verdict. "If any person here feels they are inclined to lose control or have any doubts about their ability to remain courageous, silent and responsible in this kind of proceeding, I ask you to leave now, while we're still standing."
Anderson peers around the courtroom. When no one leaves, he says, "Those people of courage, respect and civility are welcome to sit with me at this time."
The moment of truth has come. Danny sits with his elbows on the table and hands templed in front of his face. Hands on both sides of the aisle reach for those of a neighbor. Heads bow.
Anderson clears his throat and announces, "We cannot reach a unanimous verdict." It takes a moment to sink in. To send someone to their execution, the verdict must be unanimous. The tension leaves the courtroom like water running down a drain.
A moment later, Danny's family learns how thin a thread his life hung by. The judges had split. Coughlin against the death penalty; Fasing and Anderson in favor.
"Lacking unanimity, the only lawful penalty is a sentence to life imprisonment...for Daniel Nieto Martinez Jr."
With that, Danny stands. He is handcuffed, then led away through a side door. He does not look back.
The death-penalty bar had been set higher than Danny Martinez. The question now is whether it will fall on the head of his best friend, Francisco.
Next week: The death-penalty hearing of Francisco "Pancho" Martinez and the conclusion of "Dealing with the Devil."

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Fossil Fuels and Oil
Name: Roger Status: Other Age: 30s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
What is the scientific evidence that Crude oil is a fossil fuel, and not a byproduct of the internal forces and elements of the planets? I just cant believe there has been that much organic matter deposited that deep over such a big portion of the planet.
I expect you are aware that oil is a complex hydrocarbon fluid? Where else do you find complex hydrocarbons, except in living materials? It's certainly possible the primeval simple hydrocarbons -- methane, ethane and so forth -- were subjected to some strange, unknown geological process that transformed them into complex hydrocarbons. That is, you could plausibly suggest that complex molecules normally found only in living cells can arise over time from simple molecules through natural geological processes alone, without need for any living Creator.
