I have several identical hostas in my garden, some labeled 'Lemon Lime', and some 'Feather Boa'. I'm not sure which one I actually have, even after Googling photos & descriptions. How can you tell them apart?
Also, if you have them both, is there one that you prefer? Jays |

Jays, I have Lemon Lime just recently purchased. And, Feather Boa is on order, due to arrive mid week I'm thinking. So, no help here. I got Lemon Lime because it was a winner of the Benedict Award for garden excellence. Since you are having trouble telling them apart, I'll be very careful to keep the ID tag firmly planted in the pot! At this point, all I can say is I don't know one from the other YET. BUT, I like the NAME of Feather Boa the best. :) |
Oh, the name tags are all still firmly embedded, but the same hosta seems to have been sold under both names! Jays |
Hmmm, that might splain some of my confusion with Lemon Lime and Feather Boa/ Yellow Boa. And what's the difference between Feather Boa & Yellow Boa? |
A big difference between them is how they hold their colour. 'Lemon Lime' starts out chartreuse and goes towards yellow as the season goes on whereas 'Feather Boa' starts out yellow and goes green later on. 'Lemon Lime' sports quite readily and there are a few out there, such as 'Lemon Frost', 'Twist of Lime' for example, but there are no sports of 'Feather Boa' I can find. Pieter |

Besides the Lemon Lime, I potted up today Twist of Lime. I really like it, looks very vigorous, and it is a lightish green. My Feather Boa has yet to arrive. Next week, midweek, should be here. |
- Posted by hostahillbilly Zone 4 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 23:09
They're certainly not the same plant. I'm behind the proverbial '8-ball' right now or I'd (tomorrow, since it's dark outside now here) to show you, Both are cool, and I think stoloniferous (sp?). fwiw, hh |
Moccasin, Twist of Lime is a great grower plus it puts on an amazing floral display. Nice color blooms, edging more towards purple than most hosta. It's one that I never have the urge to cut the scapes off of before it blooms. |

Al Qaeda-Linked Terrorists Kill Three Egyptian Policemen in Sinai
Sunday, January 26th, 2014Terrorists linked with Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for gunning down three Egyptian policemen in the Sinai Peninsula Sunday, attacking the policemen's bus with rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.
The Egyptian army responded through a message on Facebook, "We assure the Egyptian people of the great determination of its men to fight black terrorism and the complete elimination of the advocates of oppression and sedition and blasphemy from followers of the Muslim Brotherhood."
The military regime in Egypt has branded the Muslim Brotherhood Public Enemy No. 1 and has linked it with virtually all terror that has plagued Egypt since the ouster of Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi last year.
Saturday was the third anniversary of the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, and at least 49 people were killed in battles, mostly with supporters of the Brotherhood. The Interior Ministry stated it arrested more than 1,000 "rioters."
For those with short reminders, the Obama administration helped get rid of Mubarak and fostered close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, which won post-Mubarak elections. Washington then figured out that maybe the Brotherhood was not so much better than Mubarak, if not worse, and backed Morsi's ouster.
Then it backed the new military regime, headed by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, expected to win the next election for president.
The current regime and Morsi share two things in common: violence and hatred of Israel.

Terry Tormin will give an illustrated presentation on dragonflies at the next meeting of the Sunshine Coast Natural History Society next Friday, May 2.
Dragonflies are ancient insects, the oldest known fossil of a "proto dragonfly" dating back more than 300 million years ago. Tormin will describe the life history of these amazing insects, from the aquatic nymph stage to the predatory adult. Dragonflies are amazing fliers, being able to propel themselves in six directions: upward, downward, forward, back, and side-to-side. He will also give an overview of the various families and some of the species that might occur in the area, and indicate the appropriate habitat where they can be found. Finally he will relate some of the challenges of photographing dragonflies.
Thormin is a keen naturalist, first working for a private ecological consulting company doing bird work, then for the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton for 23 years. His work was in the invertebrate zoology section, where he ran "The Bug Room."
The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt. New members are welcome.

Rhapsody in Gray
After 18 months of renovation, fashion designer Monique Lhuilliers Bel Air home is a paean to the subtle, silvery shades that keep this white-hot talent cool, calm, and collected
By Christine Lennon
"Tom is in love with that touch pad," says Lhuillier, who describes her taste as classic with a modern twist rather than gadget-driven. Tub chairs dating from the '30s, a 13-foot crystal chandelier that looks like an upside-down wedding cake, and antique silver candelabra are more her speed. Interior designer Jennie Abbott "introduced me to a lot of midcentury works I wouldn't have known about," Lhuillier says. With Abbott's help, the fashion designer and her husband were able to combine their individual viewpoints without much apparent fuss. The trick was careful deliberations. Lhuillier compares buying furniture to the task of choosing a wedding dress: "You're committing to this for life, so it better be perfect."
Exacting standards and a careful manipulation of details aside, the familywhich includes Wolfie, an elderly Yorkshire terrierlives a comfortable, relaxed life in this gently hued series of spaces. Lhuillier and Bugbee share equal billing in the success story of their business and in the design of their family home, and that teamwork seems to suit them wellexcept in one area. "Having separate bathrooms is the secret behind a happy marriage," the designer says of the divisions made in the master suite.
Listen up, brides and grooms. If this picture of domestic bliss is any indication, Lhuillier is not only an authority on the "I do" part of the nuptial processbut also the happily ever after.

Networking Through Your Blog
Creating a blog can be for business, pleasure or a combination of the two. The decision will be based on several factors and the life of the blog will proceed accordingly. Depending on the original purpose of the blog, the website will need to evolve over time. Personal blogs need to be kept fresh and interesting while professional blogs need to be crisp and inviting. Occasionally, a blog that starts out being just a personal soapbox may become a professional marketing tool. When this happens, some of the old information may need to be deleted, especially if it could be deemed unprofessional in any way. The next phase of project Business Blog is to begin networking and making your blog famous. If you want to know more on how to make money by blogging, go to empower network website.
Writing styles differ greatly among individuals and just about any style can be used for specific marketing and networking purposes. For example, funny posts and blogs can be added to other humorous sites in an effort to create a reputation and possibly a new collaboration. Many social media sites and smartphone applications dedicated to making people laugh have millions of followers that view and share photos, stories and other funny articles. In theory, one hit, like or share could lead to several hundred new followers, subscribers and dedicated readers. For someone interested in breaking into show business or becoming a published author, these possibilities are very encouraging. The numbers alone are worth the networking efforts. Even if things do not pan out immediately, there are always residual posts. Residual posts are likes and shares that occur more than a few weeks after the original posting. Because the internet never forgets, people who do not frequent social media sites still have the ability to see everything happened last week. And if your post happened last week, it can be shared today. Or even next year. And every like, share and repost means people are viewing your blog. To find out other details, see more here.
Because the internet never forgets, it is wise to remember that political, social and religious viewpoints may change over time. Rather than taking a chance and being embarrassed about a video or post you made in the past, try to keep all your networking posts neutral and inoffensive so nothing can come back to haunt you in the future. Internet users love a good scandal more than almost anything else. Even a small amount of negative publicity can easily undo all the hard work and effort it took to get you this far in your networking.

I've tried to find these through other sources but I can't find a nursery that carries any of these so I'm hoping someone out there does.
Looking for cuttings of the following Buck Roses: Andante Cantabile Kissin' Cousin Paraglider Pippa's Song Pizzicato Prairie Gold Prairie Heritage Prairie Rhapsody Prairie Symphony Red Sparkler I'm located in Benton City, WA and I'm happy to pick up or pay for postage if anyone has cuttings of these roses.

All of these roses are almost impossible to find. I've also been looking for these to add to my Buck collection, but have been told they probably are lost. |
That's basically what I was guessing is that they were lost, but I had to ask. I sure was hoping that they are hanging out in someone's garden somewhere. How sad to have lost them. Thanks for responding! |
from the attached website The Quest for the Missing Buck Roses The lost 8 cultivars are: Red Sparkler (1967) - a hybrid tea with double, cupped-to-flat, 4 to 4 2-inch blooms of dark wine red with a lighter reverse and striped with varied widths of pale red, pink and white with an intense damask fragrance; Andante (1962) - a salmon pink shrub rose with small clusters of double, cupped 4 to 5-inch blooms with a slight Sweetbrier fragrance; Cantabile (1962) - a light pink shrub rose with clusters (3 - 5) of fragrant, double, medium-sized blooms of light camellia rose with darker shading; Pizzicato (1962) - a light pink shrub with clusters (1 - 6) of slightly cupped, double, 3 to 4-inch salmon-rose blooms with a moderate wild rose fragrance; Prairie Heritage (1978) - an orange-pink shrub rose with clusters (1-10) of fragrant, double, cupped and quartered, 4 to 4 2-inch coral pink/peach blooms, which become tinted with orange-gold as the flowers age; Polka Time (1984) - an orange pink shrub rose with clusters (1-10) of salmon buds that open to fragrant double cupped 4 to 4 2-inch blooms of salmon tinted yellow veined with flamingo pink petals; Kissin' Cousin (1979) - a shrub rose with clusters (1 - 5) of coral pink buds with medium rose on the reverse opening to fruity scented, double high-centered, 4 to 4 2-inch blooms that develop orange-pink tones with age; Paraglider (1984) - a shrub rose with clusters (1-10) of orange-red buds opening to fragrant, double, cupped, 4 to 4 2-inch blooms of orange pink with deep apricot on the petal reverse. If you grow (or know anyone who grows) the above roses please contact the author by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail at 8627 Deep Valley, Houston, Texas, 77044. |

When a child star is cute and has a few instinctual acting moves, that's probably enough to get him by. Jaden Smith, who stars in the new remake of The Karate Kid, scores on both counts, but he also has something that's rare to see in a child actor. He's got presence. As Dre Parker, a pensive and fatherless 12-year-old from Detroit whose mother (Taraji P. Henson) gets transferred to the forbidding city of Beijing (the extreme move isn't really explained I mean, couldn't she have been sent off to, you know, Denver?), Smith holds the screen while doing next to nothing, just standing there, silent and inquisitive, trying to figure out an angle on the situation that's closing in on him.
Smith, of course, is the son of Hollywood royalty (his parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith), and you don't have to look hard to see traces, especially, of his father the cool glare of appraisal, the quickness of his fury. With his nifty cornrows (a junior rapper's 'do that marks how much he's grown up since The Pursuit of Happyness), Smith looks like an intensely aware goldfish. As Dre, he gets knocked down by bullies and drawn to the sweet sparkle of a teen violinist, but whomever he shares the screen with, he combines a kid's directness with an adult's way of holding himself in check. Though it's not too varied a performance, Smith, like his father, acts with an emotional ease that's almost gymnastic.
A remake of the 1984 go-for-it classic, the new Karate Kid is longer than the original film (it's 140 minutes) and a couple of shades more downbeat, with Dre as a lonely Odd Kid Out in the bustling bureaucratic China that is his new home. Jackie Chan has a corresponding melancholy as the maintenance man who teaches Dre the art of kung fu. (Yes, they should have called it The Kung Fu Kid but you don't mess with brand titles like this one.) All in all, The Karate Kid is a more somber, less playful movie than the original, but at heart it's the same old irresistible candy corn.
I did, for a while, miss the sly, poker-faced humor that Pat Morita brought to the role of Mr. Miyagi. When Chan's Mr. Han begins Dre's training by ordering him to hang his jacket on a hook, then throw it on the floor, pick it up, and do it all again and again, it's a variation on the wax-on, wax-off gimmickry of the first film. Morita, though, let us know that he was enjoying the slightly sadistic joke of the Zen discipline he was enforcing. Chan, in a scruffy goatee, plays Han as very serious, almost morose, in his mission. He makes the guru-mentor slightly damaged goods; Han needs this kid as much as the kid needs him. Their earnestness grows on you, though. The bond these two share is sincere and touching.
The movie builds, of course, to the big kung fu tournament, in which Dre finally faces down a bully who has been trained to fight with ''no mercy.'' It's a piece of inspirational hokum that works nicely, though I do wish the film had been a bit more ingenious about shoehorning in the famous Ralph Macchio ''crane'' stance. That said, The Karate Kid is fun, and believable, on the most important level: It convinces us that Jaden Smith has what it takes to fight his way to the top. B

Warner-Lambert Company is taking major steps to resolve allegations by state and federal officials of deceptive "off-label" marketing of the prescription drug "Neurontin."
"We alleged that Warner-Lambert promoted Neurontin in various ways that dramatically increased doctors prescribing Neurontin for off-label indications for which there was little or no scientific evidence of efficacy," said Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller. "It is illegal for prescription-drug makers to promote use of their drugs for 'off-label' indications that are not included in the FDA-approved label, although doctors may prescribe for other uses. Doctors must have fair and accurate information about drugs in order to make effective prescriptions for patients."
Warner-Lambert is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc., the world's largest pharmaceutical company. Its U.S. revenues last year for Neurontin were over $2.2 billion.
The states alleged their consumer protection laws were violated when Warner-Lambert promoted Neurontin for various off-label indications, including bipolar and other psychiatric disorders, back pain and other pain disorders, Lou Gehrig's Disease, attention-deficit disorder, migraine, and monotherapy treatment for epilepsy, even though scientific evidence was lacking to support use of the drug for the indications. Neurontin has been approved by the FDA as an adjunctive or add-on treatment for epilepsy, and treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia (pain after shingles.) The States said that about 90% of Neurontin prescriptions are for off-label purposes.
One study of Medicaid patients in Oregon who were prescribed Neurontin has shown that 95% of the patients were prescribed the drug for off-label purposes, and for many their condition did not improve after taking the drug.
The "global settlement" today with Warner-Lambert resolves investigations by the states, the U.S. Attorney's Office out of Boston, and the Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units. The states said there was extraordinary cooperation among the officials. For the states, the consumer protection investigation was led by Vermont, Oregon, Florida, New York, Ohio, and Texas.
In total, Warner-Lambert will pay $430 million under the settlements, including $38 million to the states. Most of the states' payment, $28 million, will go for a nationwide "remediation" program consisting of advertising and education programs aimed at prescribers and consumers to provide fair and balanced information about drugs. The programs will aim to remedy the "glide effect" of Warner-Lambert promotions in the past (the fact that prescribing patterns might continue to reflect alleged misinformation the company disseminated in the marketplace.) The states will receive $10 million for costs, consumer education, and litigation. Iowa's share is $25,000.
The states alleged Warner-Lambert used various methods to deceptively promote Neurontin for off-label indications, including continuing medical education classes that lacked fair balance and misrepresented the nature of the classes, and provided expensive "perks" to attending physicians; a "publication strategy" that subsidized the production and dissemination of anecdotal reports favorable to off-label use of Neurontin and were of no scientific value; and payments to prescribers for "research" that was, in effect, a kickback for off-label prescribing.
The 50-state settlement, by an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance or Discontinuance, prohibits Warner-Lambert and its corporate parent, Pfizer Inc., from many activities, including: making false, misleading or deceptive oral or written claims about Neurontin and promoting off-label uses in violation of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; misrepresenting the nature of scientific evidence relating to Neurontin; violating Federal anti-kickback laws; and several other prohibitions.

Boys Basketball: Rich East overcomes Bloom
By Pat Disabato firstname.lastname@example.com February 7, 2014 10:16PM
Bloom's James Coleman drives through Rich East's Don Henderson and Calvin Harrington during a basketball game in Chicago Heights, Il., on Friday, Feb.7, 2014. | John Smierciak/For Sun-Times Media

Quinton Moore and Rich East silenced any of their remaining critics Friday night against Bloom.
Moore exploded for 35 points as Rich East departed Chicago Heights with a 79-74 victory over Bloom in Southland Conference play.
It was 10th consecutive win for the Rockets (14-3, 5-2) and brought them to within a half-game of the Blazing Trojans (12-7, 5-1) in the conference.
Despite the loss of four starters from a season ago to graduation, Rich East has developed into one of the top teams in the area. Having Moore, who sat out last season after transferring from Indiana, is a big reason.
"There are no doubters in our locker room," Rich East coach George Leonard said. "The doubters are everybody else. We lost four starters, our sixth man and our eighth man from last year. We knew it was going to take a little time to get together. It helps to have Quinton."
The win also was a bit of a payback for Rich East, which suffered a 75-64 loss Dec. 13 to Bloom.
"They beat us down the first time," Leonard said. "We're a different team than we were in December."
Bloom led 70-66 with 3:23 to go in the fourth quarter after hoops by Mickhiell Harris (10 points) and James Coleman (15).
The Rockets, however, countered with an 8-0 run to grab a 74-70 advantage with a minute remaining.
A layup by Coleman brought the Blazing Trojans to within 74-72. When Calvin Harrington (17 points) converted a three-point play with 42 seconds remaining to extend the Rockets' lead to 77-72, Bloom was done.
Turnovers and poor decisions down the stretch proved fatal for the Blazing Trojans.
"Things started to tighten up," Bloom coach Ron Ashlaw said. "That's generally when decision-making and shot selection bites us."
Bloom led 41-33 early in the third quarter before Moore took over. The senior guard scored 13 points in the period, using a variety of moves to the basket and jump shots to ignite a 10-0 run and eventual 53-51 Rockets advantage.
"We weren't worried at all," Moore said of the eight-point deficit. "We had to match their intensity. They're a great defensive team and they play with high intensity."
Bloom point guard Zerell Jackson was saddled by foul trouble and sat out most of the first half. He eventually fouled out in the four quarter, finishing with six points.
Jared Johnson's 24 points led the Blazing Trojans, who converted 28-of-50 field goals.
Don Henderson added 10 points for Rich East.
"We came into their house and won," Moore said. "I'm proud of my team."

I did a quick search but couldn't find the exact issue I'm having. I just had the Elux slide in induction put in and we had formica counters. We got new quartz (Cambria) installed yesterday, now I have a big (just under 1/4 ") gap between the counters and stove. When the counter people put the stove back after installing the counter (and scratching my beloved range/the stainless along the top sides), the left side was bearable, and the right side had the gap. DH and I played around with the wheels at the back, and didn't make it any better. Should I just call Sears to come and fix it all for a service fee- we spend an hour doing this and am frustrated, or does anyone have any advice? TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
What is the total height, from floor to countertop? Any lower than your old counter? When you adjust the wheels, does the rear part go up and down? If not, look underneath with a flashlight and see whether the rear legs are down. The rear legs are only for shipping. They should be removed, or at least screwed way in, up out of the way. How did the counter people move the range in and out? Not by the top, I hope -- it isn't structural. |
Thank you for the response. I wasn't here when they moved the stove, I sure as heck hope they didn't move it by the top either! It is 35 3/4 inches from the top of the counter on both sides of the range. (not sure what the old height was, but guessing a bit more as they said the quartz was a bit thinner). Looking at the specs, the 35 3/4 counter height seems to be inline with the minimum necessary. The wheels move up and down, and the back legs are screwed all the way up and do not seem to be interfering with the height. This is so frustrating! Plus with the scratches, I'm wondering what was going on over here! |
When you say 'the wheels move up and down" , do you mean that when you adjust the wheels with the screw, the back of the range moves up and down? Are you also adjusting the front legs? Those have to be turned by using a wrench on their foot -- quite a pain compare to how the wheels adjust with a screwdriver. |
Sorry, yes, the back of the stove moves up and down. I did adjust one front leg. Question- if I move the front legs lower, will the back get lower after moving the wheels down? I don't know if I'm making any sense. I need a flat wrench! |
I think you just adjust the wheels a bit, then the legs a bit, back and forth iteratively. The wheels are not at the back edge, they are a bit forward. So, adjusting the front legs will have some effect on the back lip height. |
Hi, Thinking of purchasing the Elux slide in induction. Wondered if you could share your experience with the range. Does it make a lot of noise and are you happy with your purchase. |
So the Sears repair guy came and levelled our stove and our fridge, no charge, under warranty, no problem. Thanks for the help. I love love love our stove. It does not make a lot of noise at all. It did once but there was a touch of dirt on the hob so I guess the pot wasn't getting full contact. Other than that, it's quiet. When the stove is on, cool air blows above the oven, so that was unusual, but I'm used to it now. The oven seems to take forever to heat up, but there is a fast preheat button that seems to make it quicker. I'm also used to a 27" oven, so it's bigger and I don't know what else to expect. I'm very excited to use the perfect turkey button :) I've only had it installed about a month, but as long as it continues to perform, I have no hesitation recommending it. And I'm one of those up at 2 am researching kind of person that is never happy :) |

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Coco Girl -Adopted!!
Facts about Coco Girl -Adopted!
- Breed: Cockapoo Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Coco Girl -Adopted!'s Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
My name is Coco Girl and I am a small, very friendly, chocolate Cockapoo, about a year old. I came here to CCR after another rescue saved me from being turned into a shelter by my owner. I am a real sweet, very loving, girl puppy. I do however have allergies, so I am on a special food diet and I have some skin/coat issues. I will do best in a home with another young, playful dog, as I like lots of playtime and attention. I would love to be your new best friend . . . Maybe my new home is with you!
Other Pets at Charlotte Cocker Rescue of NC
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Coco Girl -Adopted!, a Kannapolis Cockapoo puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cockapoo for sale in Kannapolis, or seeking a Cockapoo puppy from a breeder in Kannapolis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis 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 Cockapoo breeders who help with Cockapoo rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Kannapolis paves the way for another one to be saved.

Nicest park we have stayed in although our site was on the "plateau" with little landscaping/young trees. It would not be easy or even possible to get a satellite signal in the wooded area sites. I walked through and didn't see a single dish set up. Very well kept and the staff went out of their way to be courteous even down to the guy doing maintenance stopping to answer a question and talk about .the history of the park. It used to be an Airstream only members park but now welcome all types. All of the seasonal sites are well kept and very neat. Although we didn't use the restrooms or showers they were being cleaned at least daily. Would definitely stay here again. - RBH
This is beautiful park nestled into the south end of a lake with lots of trees, level sites, and very good roads. The Wi-Fi is excellent. The cable, store, and facilities are quite good. This is one of the nicest parks we have stayed in but your experience will depend on the space you are assigned. Most of the best are for long termers, but all are quite good though less so as you get farther from the lake and closer to the main highway. (By the way, the long term residents are vacationers and their sites are well kept and everyone is friendly.) There is access for boats, a beach, wildlife, and lots of kids enjoying the season. We would stay here again, even drive out of our way to get here. - Solem8s
I loved this park! We spent 8 nights here and didn't want to leave. We stayed in the wooded sites and it was beautiful. These people really know how to run a campground! The only reason I did not give it a 10 was because of the road noise. However, our huge site and with beautiful scenery more than made up for it. Staff was all awesome! - ber7656

Rate is weekly rate. Helpful camp host. Dirt roads, so a little dusty. Would have rated higher but no restrooms. They do have portalets. - Mariah
Rate reflects weekly rate. Sites are level, firm gravel pads with grass surrounding the pad. Park is well manicured & maintained. Would have rated higher if the bathrooms & showers had been closer. It is the equivalent of about a 2 city block walk or drive to the facilities. This is a hidden gem for RV folks exploring the Bay & Leelanau Peninsula areas, for those not looking for an RV park with extensive services. We camped in a 40' motor home. - Biker2
This is a basic campground. Nothing special but it is in a great location of visit Traverse City and it surrounding areas. The campground bathrooms and showers are located within the fairground complex. Typical bathrooms clean but we did not use them. All of the sites are back-ins with electrical service. About 30 sites (located around the perimeter of the campground) have water; the rest of the sites do not. You would have to fill your tanks from the water spigots located throughout the park. The water spigots (if you have a site with one) and electrical box are located in the back. You might need a long water hose to reach the faucet. The electrical box contained 20/30/50 amp service and the voltage was good, hovering around 123. There is one dump station within the park. With 113 sites, one dump station is probably not enough. All of the sites are on packed gravel with lots of weeds on them. All of the interior roads are on packed gravel as well. It rained quit a bit during our stay but neither the interior roads nor sites had mud puddles. There is a host on site. It is very quiet at night. Verizon air card and cell phone worked well here. The campground does not have Wi-Fi. It appears that this campground does not fill up except for the week of the fair. We would definitely come back here if we were in the area. We camped with a 32 foot 5th wheel. - adsaxs

This is a horrible park. The list of negatives is long but among them are unkempt, unlevel dirt sites, narrow and dusty roads, no park supervision, dogs roaming unleashed, speeding by cars and golf carts, children driving golf carts, golf carts at night with no lights, a dirty swimming pool, $10 extra per night for cable, $10 per night extra per night for sewer, and a very mis-representative web site. We will never stay here again and will advise our friends that Walmart is a better option. - GICUR12
This campground was our last 4 night leg on a two week trip. We reserved here based on recommendations from friends that stayed in a cabin last summer. Pulling in to the campground is a nice parking lot and newer looking lodge, store, and registration areas. This is where much of the pluses for our stay ended. First, a couple more pluses. The sites are large and this is a very large campground with lots of trees that were enjoyable at night. The playground is very nice and there is a unique BMX bike park. There are a lot of trails in the area we did not use. On the bad side, this campground is neglected and very terribly misrepresented by it's website. Our problems began at our campsite. There were 4 piles of dead leaves on the site. The site was large but the sewer pipes are a full foot above ground. We set up and went to the pool. It wasn't heated, wooden fencing had paint falling off it, and there was a kiddie pool that was out of service. It was full of water and debris. The main pool was not clean, there was a large dirt pile they covered with a mesh table contraption, and my 10 year daughter stepped on a rusty roofing nail near the drinking fountain. Their response had little concern and said they would let the maintenance person know. Looking at their 'Activities' section under camping, there were none of the following offered during our stay: Wagon Rides, Bike Parades, Heated Swimming Pool, Capture the Flag, Nighttime Glow Parades, Kool Kids Krafts, or Candy Cannon. The speed limit is 5 MPH but you'll have to drive slower or risk your truck and camper being violently shaken. Main lodge shower, $.50/5 minutes, was broken. Bathroom was dirty. Went to the other bathroom and the stall didn't lock, at least i was only walked in on once. Washing machines were all out of order, every one of them. The kids rented a 4-seater bike for $15 and the tires were very low. No one to come fill them. A couple of pinball machines in the lodge were out of order. There is so much potential for this campground but the owners just don't seem to care. - Done Roughing It
This was a pleasant place to stay with the kids. Nice pool area. Clean overall. Very friendly staff. Excellent camp store. A nice feeling of being in the woods, but in a well taken care of setting. A nice cross between a manicured RV park and a rustic park. Amazingly, insects were few and far between . No issues with mosquitoes. Good number of pull through sites. Cool little cabins; some even have air conditioning. Sites are well taken care of, and most are reasonably level. My family will definitely return. My one real gripe is that the restrooms were not as clean as I would like to see them. Not horrible, but definitely could be improved. Showers are pay stalls, so bring your quarters. It would be nice if the pay mechanism had a warning tone to let you know that your time was about to expire, kind of like a self serve car wash. Would like to see a hook or two put in the stalls so clothes, shower kits and or towels could be hung rather than having to lay them on the small mostly wet bench in each stall. Another thing to be aware of is the sewer connection at the full hook up sites sits approximately 9 inches above grade. So, depending on your site and the position of your rig, your sewer hose is running uphill at the connection. A good elevated hose support would be helpful to keep everything flowing nicely. Overall a nice place to stay. - Traditional Fun

If you bicycle, you'll love it here. The interior roads are narrow, but once in the site (#204), it was extra-wide and deep enough for our 40 foot motorhome. No road noise in our section, but a real family park with lots of kids. The bike trail is adjacent to a rear gate and town is only 4 miles away. The trail goes way beyond town, another 17 miles to Suttons Bay. It's also an hour from Sleeping Bear National Park with GIANT sand dunes and a bike trail. The sites are electric only and the 2 dump stations can get backed-up at peak times. We were there over the 4th of July and for the National Cherry Festival - a good time to bike to town. The unisex showers are very popular and the floors get dirty from the beach sand and campground dirt. Plenty of hot water though. The restrooms seemed to be cleaned (and not very well) at inopportune times like 9 AM. There are several restroom buildings so you could divert to the next one. As others have said, you do need a Michigan State Park Access Pass - annual cost was $31. Adequate Verizon voice and data. We would stay here again. - Kokomo
Big campground with lots of campers but check in was seamless and grounds were neat and clean. We were only here for one night but we enjoyed the stay. The bike trail is super and we were in walking distance to plenty of food choices although it seemed the campground is out in the country. We were on site 49 which was very convenient to the trail and did not require us to use levelers. It should be noted that Michigan has a state park fee. Only electric was available at our site. We would stay here again. - busyteach
Very clean park and restrooms. Staff is friendly and helpful. The park is conveniently located next to the bike trail. We parked our truck and rode our bikes everywhere we wanted to go. There was a short walk over a pedestrian bridge to get to the beautiful beach. We have a dog that travels with us, but if you do not like pets there is a pet free area. We would stay here again. - User2106

I am guessing $400, and yes, Solid Signal is the place to go as far as I know.
I would love such a unit! But overall I am happy with the gear that I have.
Would you view post# 40 in this thread and tell me if I used the second question mark correctly? Kinda puzzled me. BTW, if I get a 44, I'll only accept it if it is free of cost. I can wait until all the bugs are worked out.

Turner awarded grant to develop human testing for tinnitus
Jeremy Turner, associate professor of psychology, was awarded a $300,000 grant that took effect in January from the Tinnitus Research Consortium to develop a human test system for tinnitus. Turner already has a patented system that can measure tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in rats and mice; now his goal is to develop a system for people.
"My colleague and I were testing a bunch of rats, and we came across this finding that suggested that we might be able to measure tinnitus. The way we do this is to play sound to an animal and then take it away and then play sound again," Turner explained. "What we do is introduce a silent gap, and if you are a normal hearing person, or rat, or mouse or guinea pig, your brain recognizes the silent gap as a change and fires off a lot of electrical activity.
"So what happens is that in animals with tinnitus, and we think also in people, the brain responds as if it does not hear silence very well. There's something in there (tinnitus) that makes it difficult for the brain to detect the silent gap. For decades tinnitus researchers have been largely focused on what people with tinnitus are hearing; the pitch, the pattern, how loud it is, how bothersome it is. Our focus has been to ask the opposite question, what are they not hearing – silence."
The system that Turner helped create measures the brain's activity during this process and has been successful in doing so in rats and mice – which hear in the same way humans do. Now the testing has moved on to people which Turner will spend his sabbatical this semester trying to perfect.
One group that is very interested in a successful system is the Unites States government. Turner explains that tinnitus is the most common disability complaint by veterans, and in 2011 the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs spent $1.5 billion in disability claims and was projected to reach nearly $2 billion in 2012.
"Those are monthly checks that people get by saying they have tinnitus, but there's no way to measure it. Troops are exposed to a lot of noise out in the field, and there's no real way to protect their ears. You can't muffle them very effectively because then they can't hear what's going on around them. Sometimes the tinnitus emerges right after loud noise insults, but we also know that lots of noise exposure early in life has been linked to tinnitus that can emerge years or even decades later."
With the kind of noise exposure veterans can encounter, tinnitus is a normal side effect, but the government is certainly interested in putting that to the test instead of blindly writing checks without a proper measuring technique.

The Biology Behind Eczema and Psoriasis
By: Claudia C. Aguirre, PhD
Posted: June 29, 2012, from the July 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Erythrodermic psoriasis is a particularly inflammatory form of psoriasis that affects most of the body surface.

There's another type of eczema that shows up as the same itchy rash, but does not involve allergic responses. This is known as nonatopic eczema, and it affects millions of adults. Although most—
about 90%—develop atopic dermatitis before age 5, nonatopic dermatitis develops in adolescence or adulthood, typically by age 15.7, 8 These people don't have heightened allergic responses or specific allergies, but still get dry, itchy skin. Keep in mind that even if a client is classified as atopic or nonatopic, the end result is the same itchy patch of skin, which must be cared for in the same manner.
Psoriasis has been confused with eczema, lupus, boils, vitiligo and leprosy. Because of the confusing connection with leprosy in ancient times, psoriasis sufferers were even made to wear special suits and carry a rattle or bell, like lepers, announcing their presence. Only in the 19th century was a distinction made between psoriasis and leprosy, alleviating some of the psychosocial impact of this highly visible and distressing skin disease.9 As with eczema, it presents as itchy, red skin and involves altered immunity. However, its complexities reach far beyond the surface of the skin. People with psoriasis have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, obesity and other immune-related inflammatory diseases—even cancer. The mysteries behind this complicated and debilitating skin disease are only beginning to be unraveled. Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory multisystem disease affecting 1–3% of the world's population.3 Whereas the rashes on eczematous skin can have irregular edges and texture, psoriatic lesions tend to be more uniform and distinct. Red or pink areas of thickened, raised and dry skin typically present on the elbows, knees and scalp. This presentation tends to be more common in areas of trauma, abrasions or repeated rubbing and use, although any area may be affected. Unlike eczema, psoriasis comes in five different forms: plaque, guttate, pustular, inverse and erythrodermic.
Plaque psoriasis affects about 80% of those who suffer from psoriasis, making it the most common type. You're likely to encounter this type in a skin care facility, so it's important to know how to identify and understand it to help you better manage your client's needs. It may initially appear as small red bumps that can then enlarge and form scales. The hallmarks of this type are raised, thickened patches of red skin covered in silvery scales. The other types are less common and present inflamed skin with red bumps; pustules; cracked, dry skin; and even burned-looking skin. Clients will most likely be under a physician's care, who will diagnose the type of psoriasis present.
As of today, psoriasis has no cure. A single cause of the disease has yet to be uncovered, but it is known that developing the disease involves the immune system, genetics and environmental factors. In psoriasis, aberrant immune activity causes inflammatory signals to go haywire in the epidermis, causing a buildup of cells on the surface of the skin. While normal skin takes 28–30 days to mature, psoriatic skin takes only 3–4 days to mature and, instead of shedding off, the cells pile up on the surface of the skin, forming plaques and lesions. The underlying reason may be due to the hyperactivity of T-cells, which end up on the skin and trigger inflammation and keratinocyte overproduction. Although it is not known why this happens, it is known that the end result is a cycle of skin cells growing too fast, dead cell-debris accumulation and resulting inflammation.
Managing the symptoms
Although there is no cure for eczema or psoriasis, there are ways to manage symptoms, and gaining this knowledge will lead to more satisfied and educated clients. Although eczema and psoriasis are clinically distinct from one another, they do share some common features that may be addressed in the treatment room. Both eczema and psoriasis clients have impaired barrier function and increased inflammation, so your goal will be to protect and repair. Remember to always check first with your client's physician for contraindications to medications and therapies, because some ingredients may counteract each other. For example, salicylic acid may seem a likely choice for exfoliating psoriatic skin, but could, in fact, inactivate a common topical treatment for psoriasis.
