I was just thinking that myself. I know who I would buy from. - Voted hot as its the cheapest and also has cashback from tcb, im not voting cold just because amazon is £1.39 more, this sites mad.
- I voted neutral. As a £1.39 difference on a £70+ keyboard just doesn't equate to a Hot deal in my book. I would also suspect the cold votes are more due to a perception of value in paying £70 for a keyboard rather than the price difference.
It's probably also worth noting it has been up to £10 odd cheaper in the past. - not sure why you would want one.
- marba01not sure why you would want one.
I use my PC quite a bit at night while I'm watching TV/films and don't want to have to put the light on every time I want to type something. Also I can sit at the sofa and use my 40" LCD as my main PC display as I have a dual output from my graphics card. So a wireless & illuminated keyboard is what I require.
Typical HotDeals If I had posted the Amazon deal then everyone would of voted cold saying it is cheaper at Base.com, I guess you just can't win. - Batman2

More like typical HUKD whinge response. Lets put this into perspective. Since when was a £1.39 difference on a £70 item a HOT deal?? That's not even a 2% difference.
I guess you just can't win.
A more delusional statement has never been uttered :) All the past, present and future hot deals would disagree with you.

How To Refrain from Backbiting
Discussing a third, absent person negatively with others is a common habit among all and sundry, but more so among women. Women are emotional by nature, so when someone wrongs them or treats them unfairly, they easily become hurt and angry. Being naturally expressive and talkative, they can usually not restrain themselves from venting their frustrations to people close to them. This gives rise to the vicious and destructive habit of backbiting, one that ruins social relationships and makes a person more enemies than friends.
However, that is not to imply, in any way, that backbiting about others mbt shoes usa is exclusively a women's domain! At offices in the corporate world, at coffee shops and restaurants, at malls and retail stores, it is not uncommon to behold groups of employees engaged in animated discussions or comical fun making of others, discussing details about "juicy tidbits" of incidents in the latter's lives. There are gossip sessions after meetings and during Happy Hour. Conversations that may innocently start out as discussions of the "latest happenings" in other's lives may become malicious exchanges of others' hidden secrets and bouts of targeted slander. Loyalties are relinquished, promises of secrecy are broken, and people are maligned scarpe mbt with enthusiastic ferocity.
"Did you see her shoes? You'd think she could force herself to have better taste, considering the amount of money she's making by sucking up to the top management!"
"Yes, she was over yesterday. You can see why that should leave me in the bad mood that I'm in right now."
"Wow, isn't she pretty?" "Yeah sure. And she knows it."
It's not just these parties that thrive on news of marital conflicts, illicit liaisons, relationship break ups and celebrity gossip. Even among the youth the teenagers and twenty something people at high schools and colleges, where youngsters inevitably form christian louboutin wedding shoes groups of like minded friends, and where being "cool" and popular rank highest on the list of requirements for social acceptance, targeting other "groups" particularly those having nerds and 'losers' with malicious jibes and false rumors is the norm.
How does one refrain from backbiting about others? There are some effective steps that, when applied to one's life over a long period of time, eventually ensure that one stops this habit of maligning others before people:
If you are a Muslim, always remind yourself that backbiting is prohibited by Allah, and that it incurs His wrath:
Muslims should always be on guard about christian louboutin outlet this social evil, because it facilitates the destruction of amiable human relationships; it exposes people's hidden faults, misdeeds and bad habits; it impedes the inclination to 'forgive and forget', by initiating reminders to decades old hurtful incidents, enticing those who were wronged to perpetually harbor enmity and malice in their hearts, against those who wronged them. Islam has prohibited backbiting in its entirety: even a disdainful smile or facial expression, a scornful look or mocking gesture is disallowed.
"And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate christian louboutin clearance it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful."
[Surah Al Hujurat 49:12]
What is the meaning of "gheebah" (backbiting)? A narration of Prophet Muhammad [Allah's peace and blessings upon him] gives a clear explanation:
It was reported from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said:
"Do you know what gheebah is?"
They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best".
He said, "(It is) when you mention something about your brother that he does not like."
It was said, "What do you think christian louboutin pigalle 120 if what I say about my brother is true?"
He said, "If it is true, then you are backbiting against him, and if it is not true, then you are slandering him."
[Sahih Muslim, 4690; Al Tirmidhi, 1857]
It was reported from Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said:
"The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim; he does not betray him, lie to him or forsake him. The whole of the Muslim is sacred to his fellow Muslim his honour, his wealth and his blood. Taqwa (piety) is here (pointing to his chest). It is sufficient evil for a man to despise his brother."
[Sahih cheap christian louboutin Muslim, 4650; al Tirmidhi, 1850]
It was reported that Anas [may Allah be pleased with him] said: the Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said:
"When I was taken up into the heavens (the Mi'raaj), I passed by some people who had nails of copper with which they were scratching their faces and chests. I said, 'Who are these people, O Jibreel?' He said, 'These are the ones who used to eat the flesh of the people and slander their honour.'"
[Sahih Al Bukhari, 6095; Abu Dawood, 4253]
Remember that those who backbite about others to you, will definitely dish out the same favor to you:
Those christian louboutin wedding shoes who backbite habitually can just not help exposing the faults of others in social gatherings. It exposes their own flagrant weakness of character and morals; by lashing out at absentees with their tongues, they lose their own self respect and dignity. Any wise person will be able to recognize the malice in such people, and abstain from mingling too much with them. The simplest way to think about this issue is, "If he/she can malign another before me, she can malign me before others when I am absent too." Therefore, one should not just avoid taking backbiters as friends, one should also avoid even sitting with them for too long.

Eynsham Abbey Fishponds circa 1216: interpretation panel © Peter Lorimer. Main image available as a limited editon print via Eynsham Arts Group
The Abbey Fishponds are the only remnants of this great foundation to survive in their original setting. They were created in 1217, by diverting the road and stream (and incidentally much enlarging the Abbey precinct). Access from Station Road: see location map. The Parish Council is restoring the area with a variety of partners, to protect its past and enhance its biodiversity. This slideshow covers work on Phase 3 and aftercare in 2008-9. The detailed plan was drawn up following a series of specialist reports (below).
In the third phase of the Fishponds regeneration we planned to excavate one of the medieval ponds for both biodiversity and archaeological reasons. However, as the water flow and channel construction turned out to be more complex than anticipated and the ponds quite large, we decided to find another way of achieving open water and leave the medieval ponds for a later date.
We applied to TOE (Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment) for a grant to clear the sedges and weeds from what is considered to be the old Chilbrook, at the point where it forms the north side of the moat of Harvey's House mound. This area has a maximum width of 20m by a length of 60m. The profile has a very gradual drop to a depth of no more than half a metre at the centre.
By removing the vegetation a relatively large area of open, shallow water would be exposed. This would be edged with the sedges which would form a barrier between the dry land and the water: see plan.
The application included funding for Graham Keevill, the archaeologist involved with the Abbey excavations and the Thames Water pipeline across Harvey's House, to keep a watching brief. This included preparing a specification for the archaeological work, for submission to Hugh Coddington of Oxfordshire's county archaeological service for approval, taking environmental samples if necessary, and writing a report on the results.
Such an open piece of water would provide a much improved habitat for various invertebrates, amphibians and bird life. It would also be visually pleasing whilst reinstating part of the historical landscape. The application also included funding for two interpretation panels, one at Station Road entrance and another at the playing fields entrance, and for two log benches for Monk's Green.
Volunteers are always welcome - please get in touch.

This open area was formally named Monk's Green at the Parish Council meeting on 6 June 2006. The two 'new' logs for seating came from 200-year old oak trees from Buren Estate.
The two diggers negotiated a path into Station Road car park and through the trees, then on to remove silt from the moat round Harveys House Mound, and from part of the bed of the old Chilbrook, revealing the mediaeval landscape.
Ian Hutt and Graham Podbery took immense care with the digging, while John Richards of Phototechniques recorded the event for a future screening in the Village Hall.
Paul Hughes helped direct operations.
Graham Keevill, the archaeologist who has been involved with the Abbey excavations and the Thames Water pipeline across Harveys House, has kept a watching brief on the entire project.
Looking west from the log seats and Monk's Green. The area will be filled over time by water that still finds its way along the old river bed and by the stream which flows from the spring in Abbey Field.
The diggers excavated a drainage channel too. We have also built a small dam, which will be adjusted if necessary to retain a depth of water.
A view of the new pond on 20 July 2007, just before the flood that engulfed the area.
A photo taken from the playing fields a little later on the same day, showing the entire area under water.
View from the car park on Station Road
This panel in the car park off Station Road shows how the area might have looked before 1217.
A second panel was installed on Monk's Green, looking north towards the former Abbey and visualising the scene after the Abbot decided to extend the Abbey precinct and build the fishponds - see top of the Fishponds introductory page.
An unexpected grouping of stones, unearthed very near the surface while installing the second interpretation board, prompted some interesting speculations.
A big thank you to the 16 members of Atkins Ltd Water & Environment Department, from Oasis Business Park, who spent a day of their annual holiday working on the Fishponds.
They tackled a crack willow which formed a bridge to an island between the new pond and the recently excavated ditch; first damming the ditch either side of it to lower the water level and silt, then clearing the silt and removing the boughs.
We now have an island which should be secure enough to encourage ground nesting birds.
The Atkins team also cleared one of the ancient fishpond irrigation channels illustrated in the abbey interpretation board.
Last, but by no means least, they used their surveying equipment to provide a levels survey which should help us understand the water flow in the fishpond irrigation channels
A small excavation on Monk's Green exposed what has been identified as the road to Stanton Harcourt, closed in 1217.
Walls and other features were also discovered. These were left exposed so that people could see them, but have since been covered over because they were being vandalised.
The Parish Council has carried out some major work on the board walks on the north path to make them safer and to make them more secure in times of flood.
The path into the blackthorn clump has been reinstated and the stream bank cleared. One quarter of the bramble patch near the car park has been cut, to provided a series of different habitats. The cherry trees have been thinned in the north east corner too.
Gravel to resurface the car park is expected in the next few weeks.
A detailed work schedule has been approved for the coming year. Volunteers are always welcome. If you would like to help in any way please phone Verity Hughes on 01865 880243.

Earlier today when I was stirring up the mulch on my flower beds, trying to figure out where I'm going to sow various flower seeds this fall, I noticed something that looked like smoke was rising from any area I disturbed. I suppose it was a very fine dust of some sort, or maybe spores from some kind of fungus . . . ??
I'm wondering if whatever it is would keep seeds from germinating, or be detrimental to any seedlings trying to grow there. I usually scrape the mulch back to sow seeds. Last spring hardly any of the thousands of seed I sowed grew. Now I'm wondering if this could be the reason. I've been getting this mulch from the city for years. Don't know exactly what's in it, but what's there now is over a year old. We've had very little rain this year, so it hasn't decomposed much. Anyone want to guess what's going on . . . or whether it could affect what I plant there. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It won't inhibit seeds from germinating. It's almost certainly the bacteria that causes one of the more pleasant rain smells, the one we often notice in the woods. Actinomycetes, a type of filamentous bacteria, grows in soil when conditions are damp and warm. When the soil dries out, the bacteria produces spores. Usually it's the force of rainfall hitting leaves & debris that kicks these tiny spores up into the air where the moisture after a rain acts as an aerosol (just like an aerosol air freshener), but your stirring of the mulch has the same effect. The moist air after rain carries the spores and we breathe them in and often notice the 'scent of rain'. It's an extremely common bacteria, found all over the world, which accounts for the universality of the sweet "after-the-rain" smell associated with it. Since the bacteria thrives in moist soil but releases the spores once the soil dries out, the volume of spores is greater after a dry spell. Al |
I figured it was something like that, but didn't know the processes involved. Thanks, Al, for taking the time to explain it. Glad to hear it's not harmful. |

That "smoke" is spores from the fungus that is busily decomposing your mulch. Not harmful to plants, but wet the mulch so you don't breath too many of them. They aren't going to kill you, but you can get short-term lung irritation until you have coughed out all the danged spores. |
I you planted 1000's of seeds last year then maybe it's time to try germinating some other way. At this time of year I have a lot of slugs and trying to germinate most things in areas that have mulch is futile. I'm germinating a few things indoors now near a window and I also have some florescent lamps. At least until they get big enough to withstand slugs I'll keep them inside. |
Yes, from literally 1000s of seeds I got about 20 poppies, 15 larkspur, 2 bachelor buttons and 5 Mex. sunflowers. A pretty poor return. I may try winter sowing this year. The only thing I can count on to grow is coneflowers. Thanks for the warning, lazygardens. |

Oddly, Actinobacteria seem to have antibacterial properties. I wonder if you could treat the mulch with an organic fertilizer to amend its C:N ratio and get it to decompose to a point where it will allow seeds to germinate. Partially decomposed material will have substances that inhibit seed germination. Blood meal or cottonseed meal are high in Nitrogen and might do the trick. |
This particular bed has been fertilized occasionally with alfalfa pellets but not often, as I have a lot of rosemary growing there which doesn't need or want much feeding. Another bed where the mulch isn't breaking down much, and seed didn't germinate, contains more rosemary plus a whole lot of sickly looking Russian sage which I've read prefers poor soil. I haven't fertilized that area at all, except for top-dressing individual plants--a rose & some daylilies--with compost a couple of times a year. I just had a soil test done for that bed and was told only to add 1/2 lb N per 1000sf. I've been blaming all these various problems on the droughts we've had the past couple of years. But maybe I just need to feed my plants more. . . or more often. |

Jena Irene, "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley: Two short weeks after her unforgettable performance at the piano, Jena made a smart choice in doing the song again, even though it may have been a little "too soon," but right after Caleb completely brought the house down with his high-energy song, Jena was able to take back control with this extremely intimate and vulnerable song, especially for the finale. Of course J.Lo got goosies again (no need to ask twice, Harry) but said something about the way Jena performs that song overwhelms her. Fortunately, the song doesn't seem to overwhelm Jena at all. Though it was clearly one of her best all season, I still think it was a very brave choice to pick this song for the finale, especially up against the much showier Caleb. However, it was another high risk/high reward situation that Harry loves to talk about so much, and Jena may finally be rewarded.
Caleb Johnson, "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney: Oddly enough, Caleb's pick for his favorite performance also came from the love-themed episode two weeks ago. However, what was amazing about Caleb's take on the Paul McCartney ballad the first time was just really good the second. Now, "really good" is obviously still really good, but for the finale of American Idol, it's just not good enough. I thought it was a safe choice for Caleb, and the reprise didn't do anything for me. Even though they spent most of the night (and latter part of the season) being fairly tame with their critiques, the judges were all unanimous in thinking that Caleb's performance was lacking an emotional quality to it that is really required by the meaning of the song. As Keith pointed out, it's a deeply emotional song about Paul's late wife Linda, and Caleb seemed to get "caught up in the gymnastic moment of it." Again, Keith lost me a little here with the metaphor, but I think he meant that Caleb's theatricality worked against him in this song. Even J.Lo, who has adored Caleb from the first time she saw him audition back in season 10, said it lacked heart.
Harry is a smart guy and knows what makes good television, or at least what the producers ask of him, so he had all the judges "vote" at the end of the second round to see who they think is on top with one song left to go. They all thought Caleb won the first round and pretty much all thought Jena won the second round. Keith thought it was a tie and almost ruined the moment for Ryan to say "It all comes down to the final round!"

As the largest organ system in the human body, the skin requires occasional medical and cosmetic care to ensure that it remains healthy, protected, and youthfully vibrant. Dr. Adam Greenberg, a board-certified dermatologist and dermatological surgeon, chose to provide this care by founding the Dermatology & Laser Institute of Southwest Florida, where he is joined by a staff that includes a physician assistant and a clinical aesthetician. The team uses the latest advancements in skincare procedures, technologies, and medical-grade products to address both skin health and skin appearance.
On the clinical side, Dr. Greenberg specializes in Mohs micrographic surgery, which eliminates certain types of skin cancer by delicately removing one layer of skin at a time. Not every appointment requires surgery though. Dr. Greenberg is also adept at addressing common skincare concerns such as psoriasis, fungal infections, and eczema.
On the institute's cosmetic side, the staff avoids the use of surgical procedures altogether. Instead, they use an arsenal of laser systems to zap unwanted stubble or improve skin's tone, texture, and photosynthesis capabilities. These treatments can minimize the appearance of otherwise unsightly blemishes, including everything from acne scars and sun damage to rosacea and age spots. The institute even offers injectable dermal fillers for patients looking to hide aging skin's fine lines and wrinkles.
Fish Galore's team of captains lead angling expeditions along Florida's Gulf Coast, taking parties to fishing destinations such as Tarpon Springs and 10,000 Islands. Trips range from guided inshore and near-shore journeys to excursions that head between 30 and 40 miles offshore. With experience hauling catches including grouper, sailfish, and shark, the team has garnered praise from clients for keeping groups "always on fish" and seeing that everyone onboard feels "welcome and comfortable." The team also furnishes equipment for independent fishing, renting out canoes and tackle so anglers can explore the area's backwaters, canals, and the Intracoastal Waterway for redfish and trout. Alternatively, canoes give paddlers access to Midnight Pass Beach and Oscar Scherer State Park. Family-friendly eco tours are also available, with ample viewing of shore birds, shelling, and riding dolphins like rodeo broncos.
Grown from two small shops to 28 locations by the sweat equity of a hard-working father-and-son team, McGee Tire?s open-air bays now proudly display the cobalt and maize d?cor signifying their status as authorized Goodyear dealers. Skilled hands outfit hoisted cars with conventional and standard oil while computerized systems recalibrate tires, brake service secures stoppers, and transmission tune-ups correct gear-bound problems. At the core of full-scale commercial fleet services, a specialized shearography machine helped earn McGee Auto Service & Tire a mention on ]Modern Tire Dealer's](http://www.moderntiredealer.com/) list of Top 100 Retreaders in the U.S. Oversize vehicle service also caters to recreational drivers, with RV service including repairing electrical systems, recalibrating drive trains, and restocking the feedback of the horn's onboard bugler.
Imagine for a moment diving into the ocean, resurfacing with not only memories of the sub-aquatic environment, but a full reel of photographs, too. Underwater photography is just one of the many courses offered at Scuba Quest, a family-owned company that has shown students how to safely explore the seas for more than 25 years.
Scuba Quest began as a single shop, but has since spread to six locations across the state of Florida. At each, the company's NAUI-certified instructors lead refresher courses, beginner classes, and comprehensive certification programs. Rather than climbing into fish tanks while pet-store clerks are on break, Scuba Quest's students can put their new skills to the test in unfamiliar waters during the company's exotic diving excursions around the globe.
Tampa Olive Oil Company vends gourmet olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and other culinary accessories designed to add depth and character to meals. Fruity or grassy olive oils from Greece, Italy, and Morocco sidle up to their flavored brethren, which are infused with aromas such as basil, truffles, or roasted peppers. Customers can use the oils to flavor hearty roasts and sautés or combine them with classic and flavored balsamic vinegars for a light, tangy salad dressing.
Other artisanal offerings, including spices, specialty oils, and scented sea salts, round out Tampa Olive Oil Company's selection of edibles. In addition, serving accessories such as oil sprayers, pour spouts, and dipping saucers help customers discontinue their usual practice of serving condiments through a fire hose.
Each Eye Doctor?s Optical Outlets location is doctor-owned, uniting the staff with a common vision to sharpen sight and boost eye health. Eye examinations reveal prescriptions and uncover any other ocular problems. After patients choose a new set of lenses, the in-house technicians get to work crafting them in the shop?s own lab rather than sending them off to be made during a summer camp?s arts and crafts day. Sundry designer frames border eyes in looks from Giorgio Armani and Marc Jacobs to Nike and Harley Davidson, and there is usually a trio of technicians in the shop, enabling multiple clients to summon help with a single pigeon call.

The Cheap Wedding Reception – 2 Biggest Secrets Revealed
February 25, 2011 by admin
Filed under Cheap Weddings
It's estimated that 50% of EVERY wedding budget goes to pay for the wedding reception; food, drinks, location rental, decorations, etc. Having said that, if you can find a way to put on a cheap wedding reception — one that'll save some money yet still please the guests — well, you'll be able to double if not triple your honeymoon vacation time. How can you put together a cheap wedding reception, you ask? Simple, by using these amazing and incredibly powerful secrets!
The Inexpensive Wedding Reception Secrets…
Party Location:
Booking the reception hall at a hotel or renting a banquet hall at some fancy-schmancy establishment is NOT cheap, no matter what you might have heard. In fact, such a move will cost well ABOVE $1,000 dollars and is likely to get into the $4,000 to $5,000 range depending on the amount of guests and the time of the year it is.
To get around this insane expense and avoid simply booking the wedding during the off season, you need to consider other venues. Why not have your cheap wedding reception at a public park or even a public beach? Do you have a large house and/or a spacious yard? Well, then you can have the reception there and save a small fortune! There are plenty of ways to avoid spending thousands of dollars on a wedding party location, you just have to be open to different ideas.
Food & Drink:
A cheap wedding reception can NOT be done if you are a complete & utter fool about the foods & drinks. This is one of the most expensive parts of the reception — even for a so-called cheap wedding reception — so there can be NO splurging on frivolous, unnecessary things.
For the drinks and alcohol, just close down the idea of an open bar. Don't even consider it! An open bar is super expensive and it encourages people to get drunk, and much more so than normal.
Celebration is all-well-and-good, but this is a wedding, not a college frat party. Stock up on beer, champagne, wine, and plenty of non-alcoholic beverages. Shop around for the best prices, buy in bulk, serve it yourself, and you'll save vast sums of money. Remember, just forget about hard liquor, it'll do you NO good.
Do you want to know how to save on wedding food when creating a cheap wedding reception? It's simple really, just do away with all those unnecessary catering extras.
All you need is the food (cheap food at that), the trays, the plates, and a table to put it all on — that's it! You don't need servers walking around asking people what they want, nor do you need them preparing guests' plates and serving everyone individually. To do so is not only costly, its sheer idiocy.
Catering expenses are the real budget killer when it comes to food and drink. If you can eliminate most, or even some, of those costs, things will start to get dramatically cheaper.
If you can't save around $2000 to $3000 dollars with these cheap wedding reception secrets, well, then you are pretty hopeless. Either that, or you're pretty dumb — its one or the other.

I understand that to grow Kiwi fruit you need a male and female plant. Lowe's has some in stock that are labeled as Arctic/cold hardy so I thought I would try it out on a trellis that is vacant now.
But, unless it is on the tag (which it is not) how do you tell which plant is male and which is female? If I were a wise guy I would say that the male can be identified because he is holding the remote. But I won't say that because I really do want to know the answer and do not want anyone getting mad at me. Anyon else bought Kiwi plants from Lowe's? |

You can't really tell yet, but there should be two vines in the pot, male and female. |
- Posted by billbrandi 9 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 3, 11 at 21:34
A-ha....that makes sense. Thank you for the clarification. No one at Lowe's knew the answer. |

I bought one at wall mart I thought I was just getting an extra plant.LOL silly me That is good to know. Thanx, Carmen |

Two weeks ago at Lowes I bought the same male female Arctic Kiwi. This week they had Issiah kiwi male and female in a pot so bought those as well. In two weeks the one plant has twined 2/3 of the way up the rope to reach the wire of it's new trellis home, it's mate is alive and well but not growing as fast. It seemed one of the plants was large and the other small in the Arctic pots and the Issiah was the same way....I think the larger plant is the male....thought I read somewhere the males were more robust? |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 10:04
I bought some there but they don't say artic. I think they must be the Issiah then. I will have to find the tag. There are two in the pot. One of mine is more robust than the other as well. I haven't decided if I am going to grow them in a large pot or in the ground. |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 13:14
Sultry, The Issiah had the name on the tag...and the tag showed a small fuzzless green kiwi. The Arctic tag did not have a variety name listed but said Arctic on the pot and the tag picture showed a fuzzy brown kiwi. But of course Lowes plant tags can't be trusted at all lol. |
- Posted by billbrandi 9 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 18:40
the label on the plastic pot said "Arctic." I was at the Lowe's on Park Blvd. in Pinellas Park near the Belcher intersection. |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 6, 11 at 14:45
What do you know? I found the tag and nada...so looked on the pot and it said Artic LOL! Okay I must be blind... |
Has anyone had luck getting fruit from them? I planted them once and they died. If I can get fruit I would try again. But am I too far south? |
- Posted by dromanowski none (My Page) on Thu, May 5, 11 at 20:59
I just bought an Artic Kiwi plant at my local Lowe's and have no idea if it is a male or a female. Anyone know how I can tell so I can get the mate plant. I din't realize when I bought it that I need a male / female. |
Usually when you buy them there is both in the pot, male and female. Do you have two plants in your pot, if so you already have both. I don't think there is a way to tell until they fruit. |
- Posted by Kitty central fl(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSun, May 22, 11 at 14:19
I have planted kiwis. At first they just seemed to sit and wait for their roots to get going. When they did, look out!! I read that they can grow tree-like up to 30 feet depending on how you prune them and with support. It can be 4-6 years for fruit and if it's not cold weather tolerant, it may not have any. But, the trellis is just beautiful with shiny green leaves that I think will drop in the winter and come back in spring. There a keeper even just for the leaves. |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 7:35
I have 4 planted this spring and they are doing well. One plant raced up 6 feet to the first wire of their new trellis home so cut it off so it would branch out. Two great side branches started and grew a foot long and then a &^$%#^*^$ deer bit the vine in two about 3 feet above the ground. They had been eating the leaves on them now and then. It was the last straw.....it was either start shooting the deer or buy fence......I bought fence lol. I surrounded not only the entire kiwi trellis area with the fence I went around the adjacent four rows of blackberries as well. It was hot work this week but it is up and now the plants will be able to grow unmolested. Not sure if they will ever fruit but I love to experiment. |
I planted a Kiwi vine in a pot in my deck to grow in a trellis. It was slow growing when I started to fertilize with the pulp of my morning fruit juice of vegetables (Kale green, red beets, parsnip, brocolis, aspargus, apple, etc, etc) and all of a sudden it raced up the trellis with huge leaves, beautiful green and robust. This was during the summer, and when I traveled in Early October for 4 days, there was a lot of rain and wind. When I returned all the leaves had fallen and were brownish... it was basically only the vine... I was devasted and I am trying to recuperate my plant. There are some leaves back but very soft (not stead as they were) and as if it weak and dying. Even when they were growing fast and beautiful, there was always some leaves getting brown on the borders like if burnt by cold (not possible) or bitten by caterpillar... Does anyone know what could have happened and what can I do? It is in a large pot (is it not appropriate?), humid. HELP!!! |
- Posted by billbrandi 9 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 10, 11 at 14:19
worry not, mine did the same thing. Kiwi fruit vines lose their leaves in fall and go dormant. We should see an explosion of new growth in the spring (and hopefully some fruit). http://landscaping.about.com/od/vineplants1/p/kiwis.htm |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 20, 12 at 9:23
I have four artic kiwi vines that I initially planted in one area and left them there for about five years - no blooms or fruit. Later I moved them to a better location in an effort to improve their performance. They have been in this location now for about four years. I built a nice trellis for them this year and I have great growth out of all plants. This year I again had no blooms or fruit. Will they ever produce? |
- Posted by starryrider (My Page) on Fri, Jul 20, 12 at 14:17
I went to a nursery in Gainesville that grows various fruits. She said she was never able to get kiwi to bloom and produce fruit. I figure if the professionals can't I won't bother to try. |
- Posted by billbrandi 9 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 20, 12 at 18:20
I started this thread over a year ago and...no fruit. Mine grew just fine last summer, lost its foliage in the winter and went dormant, then never came out of it. Will give it another month and if no new foliage I'm pulling it out of the ground. Think I can return it to Lowes? :) |
my "arctic kiwi...nice vine, no fruit, luckily i got it half price a couple of years ago, comes back each year.......Lowes....m |

Your article on the Mahencia apartment building has really awakened a lot of memories from the 1960s. I attended Horace Mann High School and my grandmother lived in the Mahencia on the 5th Avenue side. Every day at 3 was my gym class and she would come out on her balcony and wave or she would tell us to pick up the pace. She was kind of our mascot for a period. It was really touching and we had a great laugh with her.
After the empty homes, used by drug dealers are demolished, guess where the drug dealers will go to? Yup, you guessed it, right into your neighborhood!
So the poor Gary firefighters are limited to one 90-day paid leave a year, and they are complaining? I think I have a headache and will apply for my 90-day leave today.
Now that the ISTEP scores are out all you parents who flocked to the charter schools because you thought your poor children would do better, well guess what? They're not doing better. Send them back to the Gary schools. They may not be producing brain surgeons but at least they're doing better than the charter schools.

Kiefer Sutherland, internet star? That's the plan: EW has learned exclusively that Sutherland will follow up his critically-beloved run on 24 with a web series that'll bow on Hulu this March. Dubbed The Confession, the 10 five-to-seven-minute webisodes will feature Sutherland as a hitman who has a theological discussion with a priest (John Hurt of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) about why his victims deserved to die. The series, which was written and directed by Brad Mirman, ends with one helluva twist. READ FULL STORY

Dr. Drew heading to CW daytime
Dr. Drew Pinsky is expanding his sphere of influence. EW has confirmed that Pinsky, who has a eponymous show debuting on HLN in the spring and hosts Celebrity Rehab on VH1, will headline a new daily half-hour talk show dubbed Dr. Drew's Lifechangers on the CW this fall.
Pinsky will tackle everything from addiction to relationship woes and also bring in experts. The network will air an original episode at 3 p.m. and follow it with a repeat. The news was first reported by Broadcasting & Cable.
The show comes courtesy of Telepictures, which previously produced The Tyra Banks Show for the CW's daytime hour at 3. Repeats of the yakker continue to air in the slot.
ABC buys comedy with risque title
ABC is set to pick up a new comedy pilot with a title that could make waves like $#*! My Dad Says if it makes it to primetime intact.
20th Century Fox TV has sold a project titled Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23, which earns points for being funny and memorable, if not exactly G-rated. Tough to see ABC not brainstorming something softer (then again, the network does have Cougar Town). READ FULL STORY
Wonder Woman TV show 'not moving forward'
Wonder Woman wasn't able to lasso a new home.
Sources tell EW that all the major broadcasters have passed on the much-buzzed about project. Late Friday, NBC was the final network that declined to bring back the superhero.
Warner Bros. TV was actively shopping a script from David E. Kelley that updated the period tale about an Amazon princess who battled Nazis and other bad guys during World War II. READ FULL STORY
ABC picks up two comedy pilots
For those keeping score on pilot season, ABC just picked up two comedy pilots for consideration for fall 2011-12. The first one is Man Up, a single-camera project from Chris Moynihan, Ron West and Kelly Kulchak that ABC Studios describes as "as unique look at what it takes to survive as a modern man, as told through the eyes of three best friends and the women in their lives."
The other is called Smothered, a half-hour multi-camera project by Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen that's about a young couple who finds themselves smothered by their two very different sets of parents. It's from Warner Bros. TV.
HBO orders new comedy about 20-something gals
HBO announced today that it has ordered the new comedy Girls, created by and starring Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture). The series, which will begin shooting this spring in New York, provides a comic look at the "assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of girls in their early 20s," according to HBO.
Dunham wrote and directed the pilot of the series, which she executive produces along with Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner. "Lena Dunham quickly established herself as an important young talent with her first feature film," said HBO Entertainment President Sue Naegle in a statement. "We are thrilled to team up with her and fellow executive producers Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner for this exciting project."
The cast includes Jemima Kirke (Tiny Furniture), Allison Williams (American Dreams), Adam Driver (HBO's "You Don't Know Jack") and Zosia Mamet (Mad Men).
Tiny Furniture was directed and written by Dunham, who also stars in the film. It has received three Independent Spirit Award nominations for Best First Feature, Best First Screenplay and Best Cinematography.
'Dallas' reboot scoop: Larry Hagman's (still) in play!
A Dallas reboot without J.R. Ewing? TNT can't imagine it! Despite an internet report that the cabler's remake of the classic CBS drama is moving ahead without Larry Hagman, EW has learned that the network is hopeful a deal can and will be reached with the original star.
TNT has already persuaded Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy to make appearances in the new version, which was penned by Cynthia Cidre (Cane) and focuses on the sons of J.R. and Bobby Ewing. The network remains high on the new iteration, even though it has yet to begin production on a pilot. "I don't want to give away the plot, but [Cynthia] found something authentic to business and to Dallas that allows them to trade on the same dynamic of the super wealthy," TNT/TBS programming head Michael Wright told Variety on Thursday. "Dallas was always something of an Upstairs Downstairs paradigm. If it wasn't the rich and poor, it was attitude – entitlement versus a populist point of view. This covers all that."
Meanwhile, Hagman told EW in September that he continues to make appearances on behalf of Dallas, which syndicates in 60 countries today. "It's like an annuity, really," Hagman, 78, said. "I go out, they adore me, and then they pay you. What better job can you have?" He seemed willing to do the Dallas reboot.
This isn't the first time that someone's tried to revive the Texas oil family drama that aired from 1978 to 1991. In 2006, Twentieth Century Fox decided to adapt the soap for the big screen, closing deals with John Travolta, Jennifer Lopez, and Luke Wilson. But then research indicated that the Dallas brand didn't mean much to younger moviegoers, says a source close to the project. Travolta and Lopez soon dropped out.
NFL and ESPN close to signing $2 billion rights deal
ESPN and the NFL are approaching a new annual rights deal worth almost $2 billion, according to Reuters. Although the deal still needs to be finalized, and neither company is offering any confirmation, multiple sources indicate that ESPN has offered roughly $1.8 – $1.9 billion for a new nine- or 10-year pact with the football league, an increase of 40 percent on the current eight-year deal worth $8.8 billion.
Suze Orman to host 'Money Class' on OWN
Now that she's appeared on Ask Oprah's All Stars, Suze Orman has earned her own show on Oprah Winfrey's network. OWN announced today that she'll host Money Class, a show that'll help folks transform their financial lives. "Suze Orman is the rock star of personal finance and her straight-forward advice will help people who are in need of a financial wake-up call," said Lisa Erspamer, OWN's chief creative officer.
Orman's new show is expected to bow in the fall. She will continue to appear on the All Stars specials on Jan. 9, 16, and 23 and will serve as a guest judge on the third episode of Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star on Jan. 21.
Kathy Griffin gets four comedy specials with Bravo
Griffin had hinted at to EW in November.
Bravo is saying goodbye to Kathy Griffin's Life on the D List, but they intend to remain in the Kathy Griffin business. The cable network has announced that the two-time Emmy-winner will perform four new stand-up specials in 2011. Since 2005, Griffin and Bravo had collaborated on eight comedy specials, including last year's Kathy Griffin: Whores on Crutches. "I went to Bravo and told them I thought I was being a little too nice in my stand up specials. They agreed … and gave me four more. Let the fur fly," said Griffin in a Bravo statement. The comedy specials, which will air quarterly this year, confirm the end of D List, whichRead more:

'SpongeBob SquarePants' buckles up for ninth season
Nickelodeon has renewed SpongeBob SquarePants for a ninth season, ensuring that the enormously popular cartoon will surpass 200 original episodes. "SpongeBob's success in reaching over 200 episodes is a testament to creator Stephen Hillenburg's vision, comedic sensibility and his dynamic, lovable characters," said Brown Johnson, President, Animation, Nickelodeon and MTVN Kids and Family Group. "The series now joins the club of contemporary classic Nicktoons that have hit this benchmark, so we're incredibly proud." The wacky tales of an enthusiastic sea sponge have been the No. 1 ranked animated TV series with children, ages 2-11. The new deal calls for the network to air 26 new episodes in 2012.

'Big Love' star Chloe Sevigny on starring opposite Katie Holmes on Broadway, her dream TV job, and the comedian who spoofs her online
Big Love fans were sad to learn that this will be the final season of HBO's family drama (spoiler alert: I've seen the premiere episode and it's great) but star Chloe Sevigny, who plays the manipulative Nikki, is already thinking about her future gigs. The actress' name has been mentioned as potentially starring opposite Katie Holmes in a Broadway revival of the play Extremities. Sevigny confirmed that she has indeed been considering a role in the revival . "I was reading it and I'm kind of seeing how the cast is gonna pan out," she says. "I know the director is great but I feel like the cast has gotta be real strong. And it's such a commitment."
Meanwhile, she's not ruling out a return to a TV series but is very specific about what she wants out of the project, namely, that it's shot on the East Coast. Says the actress, " I'm not opposed to another series but I don't think I'd do one in Los Angeles. I'd like to do a half-hour comedy on a cable network in New York where I play someone really glamorous and really goofy. That's my dream job!" she says, laughing.
But the question everyone wants to know (or maybe just me and my EW colleagues Tanner Stransky and Henry Goldblatt) is what does Sevigny think about comedian Drew Droege and his hilarious series of viral video spoofs of the actress? "I met him the other day," says Sevigny. "I feel like he doesn't dress like me, he doesn't talk like me! I feel like there's zero connection. I don't even understand how he can say it's me. And then the things he references are sooo not me. He was very charming and very nervous. He thought I hated him. Of course not! I'm flattered. But it's just not me at all!"

Achille Lauro speaks frankly about what it's really like to be a struggling musician in Denver
A.H. Goldstein
Over the past seven years, Achille Lauro has become a band that's essentially synonymous with the Denver scene. A founding act in the Hot Congress collective, the quartet has been witness to an exciting evolution in the scene, watching fellow acts rise and fall while its own sound has evolved in eclectic directions. But now the outfit has decided to permanently dock its musical vessel. Before the final voyage this weekend, we caught up with Matt Close, Ben Mossman, Luke Mossman and Jonathan Evans to discuss their time in the scene, why it's become harder to make it as a band in the last decade and what they'll miss the most about playing together.

Westword: Typically, interviewing bands is such an uplifting affair, celebrating an album or a big show. I must admit, it's a bit sad sitting here asking you questions about your breakup.
Matt Close: I prefer saying that we're "discontinuing" as opposed to "breaking up," because there's no hard feelings between any of us. I mean, I plan to implement every one of these guys on future projects in the studio.
Luke Mossman: It does require effort to rehearse something that's not going to be performed again.
You nearly broke up in 2008, but decided you still had music to make together. What's different now?
LM: To be honest, it's been a real struggle to write songs together for the last six months. We've had to scrap so many songs.
Ben Mossman: In the past, our greatest strength has been that we come from different points of view, and that created very unique sounds. But now it's gotten to the point that we're in such different places, everyone is pulling in different directions.
Is this the end of making music for any of you? Any plans to move on to graphic design or accounting?
Matt Close: Absolutely not. How could anyone be done with music? Once this decision was reached, I started writing harder than ever. I feel like it opened up some energy in me. There was no more of that, "Here's an idea, can we use this?"
What's more difficult: Breaking up with a lover or breaking up with a band?
Jonathan Evans: The band, because we're all really good friends. We've been through a lot of shit together. Way more than any significant other. I've opened up about things with the band that I would never open up about with a significant other.
MC: Over the last seven years, these three guys have become the closest people to me. They know all my dirty laundry, and it's not a problem to them.
Is there something about making music together that bonds people in a deeper way that friendship or even sex can't compare to?
BM: It's the pursuit of a common goal. There's personal interaction that's going to happen, and there's financial cohabitation, but those are side issues to the reality that we're all pursuing the same thing. And that's a unique dynamic.
LM: I've had some of the best moments of my life when I'm on stage with you guys. We learned to thrive in an environment where circumstances will be stacked against us, when our back's together, circling the wagons, fighting an audience.
MC: I realize that I'm going to miss screaming at you guys on stage a lot. It doesn't even have to be words; it's just leaning over and pumping up each other's energy.
Looking back at the last seven years, what stands out as some of your favorite Achille Lauro moments?
MC: Oakland. We ended up in a real hard part of town, in this collective warehouse, playing on a poor setup to an uninterested crowd and responded by playing harder than we've ever played. We consumed a liter of Jim Beam on stage between us. No one else in that room was having a good time, but we sure did.
LM: I would say UMS at 404 -- one of my favorite shows ever. It was like three years ago; we played at midnight. Matt's bass broke, and some guy in the audience fixed it. He still comes to our shows.
MC: I was drinking Cabernade that night.
MC: CaberNADE. Half Cabernet, half yellow Gatorade.
That sounds...horrible.
MC: I cannot recommend this enough.
Having been in the Denver music scene for seven years, have you guys seen a lot of things change, for better or worse?
MC: It's beautiful, the evolution that I've seen. We've had a unique window into that, rehearsing in our space at the Olympic Auditorium, where there are twenty other studios. We've seen the makeup of that building shift over the years. The bands have gotten more and more diverse.
We just hear them through the wall; you hear it accidentally walking through the building. When we first started, it was all metal -- really bad metal -- and now you hear hip-hop, or folky bands. I've seen that as a microcosm of the Denver scene.
For me, personally, the evolution of Hot Congress has been incredible. Whenever people ask me about Denver music, I usually hand them an HC sampler. What has your experience been working with that label?
LM: I think it's stronger than ever now. I love the bands that are on it. I'm really proud that it's continued on for so long.
MC: The whole reason for that getting started was sort of a jealousy of watching momentum gather in other cities and seeing that turn into a nationally recognized force. And then we saw some collective momentum here and were like, "Well, let's all push the cart."
JE: It's amazing what it's become from what the original idea was. We had our first couple of meetings here [at City, O' City]. There was no talk about a record label; we were just combining resources. Who has a van? Who can help set up shows in other cities? It was pretty disorganized for the first year or two, but Lucas Johannes really molded it into something more than just musicians drinking beer and talking a big game. Before him, it was just people talking about stuff that was never going to happen.
BM: His effort has been amazing. He's kept it alive.

There a a lot of good books out there to help. I have the problem also. Taking the wheat and dairy out of my diet helped by 75%. The other part is taking gluten out, which is in grains, except rice and a few other. I got books at the public library, and there are places on the web for info also. |

The unemployment rate for the OECD area fell slightly to 8.7% in January 2010, reflecting drops of 0.3 percentage points in the United States and Japan. The latest figures for the United States show that the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.7% in February. Rates in the Euro area stabilized in January at 9.9% and in many countries, notably France and Italy, rates continued their recent upward trend. In Canada, the unemployment rate was 8.3% in January 2010, 0.1% lower than in the previous month. The unemployment rate rose sharply in Korea, from 3.6 % in December last year to 4.8 % in January, as a result of a large rise in the labor force which, however, is likely to be temporary. In November 2009, the latest data available, the unemployment rate in the United Kingdom was 7.8%, the same as in the previous month. In all OECD countries rates remained at higher levels than a year ago, varying from 0.3% higher in Australia to 4.4% in Ireland, with the OECD rate 1.4% higher.

Run-D.M.C. Reuniting for Fun Fun Fun Fest 2012
Surviving members to headline, perform for first time since 2002
Run-D.M.C., the Beatles of hip-hop, will be reuniting for the first time in a decade to headline the 7th edition of Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest. The group disbanded in 2002 after the shooting death of turntable architect Jam Master Jay. To honor Jay's memory, FFF festival promoters are working with the group to give some proceeds to the JMJ Foundation for Music, a group "dedicated to providing access to the arts, regardless of socio-economic status, for children and young adults."
It's going to be interesting to see how they pull this off: When we last caught Run-D.M.C. on their final tours in the early '00s, DMC's voice was irreparably damaged by spasmodic dysphonia, his trademark roar reduced to a gravelly murmur and inestimable bandleader JMJ was helping with all his lines. Still, Run's under-heralded 2005 solo album (and stern fatherly presence on TV) proves he still can raise holy hell.
"We couldn't be more excited," says FFF festival producer James Moody in a press release. "Run DMC is one of our favorite bands, and one of the most influential groups of all-time. We never thought that we would get to see play live, much less play in Austin at our festival, "This is as big as it gets and we are so proud to be working with them."
Other artists confirmed for the Fest, to be held November 2 to 4, include Against Me!, Baroness, Danny Brown, Bob Mould, Tomahawk, Rakim, Atlas Sound, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Starfucker, Lagwagon, the Head and the Heart, and David Cross.
