The red one is Japanese and is supposed to be milder. The green one is Korean, and is a weed in our garden. We ate a good bit of this summer now that I have finally ID'd it. Donna |
There is also the bronze perilla, a Vietnamese variety [Viet: tía-tô]. |

Hello Jamus, I've just got back from Japan and had some experience with the Shiso plant. |
I just saw them using this leave on the cooking channel. I live in SAN ANTONIO, TX and would like to find a source for seeds or plants. Anyone know where to get some? |
tampede--If you send me a SASE I'll send you some seeds. My mom is Japanese and I have LOTS, both red and green. Email me through gardenweb if you're still interested. |

There are both Japanese and Korean version of the green perilla. The Korean perilla has larger leaves, and used as wrapping. Find a recipe of Korean bulgogi, then wrap the cooked meat in the leaf, along with a small slice of fresh garlic and a slice of green pepper. I have some of them growing in my garden. I used them in my sandwiches as a substitute for lettuce LOL. The main issue with growing perilla is the low germination rate. It is said that the seeds must be stored for about 3 months in a refrigerator to break their dormancy. I haven't tried that trick yet though. |

Perilla is a vigorous self-seeder in most cases, though not always easy to sow yourself from seed. They do fairly well in shade, and don't particularly like lots of direct sun. I have the red variety in my container garden, though I prefer the green for eating. I saved a bunch of seeds, but it seems hundreds of them managed to find their way into other containers and are 2 inches high right now. |

I am hoping that Duane or someone can answer my question.I have finally found a dealer in my area of New jersey and have sat in the Austin which I absolutely love. My dealer told me that the H & M sales rep. said that a sectional cannot be seperated, with the corner left out, to be made into a four piece sofa, either with all four seats reclining or with just the end seats reclining. Does anyone know if a left arm loveseat and a right arm loveseat can be put together. I cannot use a sectional and I guess I can use the Austin sofa and an individual recliner but would like the four pieces together. My salesperson is going to check again in case there is a miscommunication. I would appreciate any info.

Hi Elaine, Sure, H&M can, and will, pretty much make you anything you want. What you are looking for is non-standard, so there will be a custom charge but since H&M owns its own frame factory its not as bad as you might imagine. Just last week I customized a Campaign sectional for a customer and we added in an additional section to make one very long segment. You cannot have a 4-seat unit with all four seats reclining however, as the reclining mechanism needs to have am arm segment to attach to. In that instance, you'd be better off to go with the Monterey theatre seating group and build that up to suit (every bit as comfy as the Austins, in fact probably more so). http://www.hancockandmoore.com/product.asp?productid=1697 So what you're looking for is an Austin sofa 9034 with dual recliners and one inboard seat added. I can be built as a single unit (would be very heavy, and very hard to move) or as two components locking together with a sectional base (that's how I'd make it if I were buying it). Just a guess here, but take the standard 9034 unit in your choice of hides, and then add approximately $ 1,000 for the extra seat, and probably $ 1,000 to make it split with the sectional interlock mechanism. Duane Collie |
Thanks for the quick reply. Things I do always seem to be so complicated! I wouldn't want a four piece unit. That would be too heavy. Most sectional recliners have two loveseats that can be attached together making the left and right end seats into recliners and the two middle seats stationary. If I go with the Monterey, I wouldn't want arms in between the seats. I don't know if thats possible. I want the appearance to look like a long sofa. I really appreciate your responding. I have been searching for something for so long and feel when you're spending so much money, you have to make sure its going to be right. |
Hi Elaine, I had to call H&M this morning on some other business and spoke with them about what you're looking for. What you will want to buy is a 9034-21 LEFT and a 9034-22 RIGHT section which are full-reclining loveseats, and they will simply build them to circumvent attaching to the corner unit. Definitely do-able, may require some slight modifications but certainly nothing major. Ping me off-list if I can assist further. Duane Collie |
I have recently placed an order for a hancock and moore sofa and recliner. I read somewhere on this site that the down cushions do not hold up as well as the foam inserts. Is this true because that is what I ordered and hope its not too late to change that if need be. I ordered the journey sofa. I sure hope you can help me with this as soon as possible. Thanks so much. |

text: TULSA BOMBER PLANTAs World War II erupted in Europe in the late 1930s and the United States mobilized its own war industry, civic leaders aggressively promoted construction of a new aircraft assembly facility in Tulsa. The U.S. War Department agreed to build a plant if Tulsa provided land and necessary runways. Tulsa citizens quickly responded, passing a $750,000 bond issue in March 1941, enabling the city to purchase 750 acres east of the municipal airport and to construct the runways. On May 2, 1941, groundbreaking took place for what became known as Air Force Plant 3, and Donald W. Douglas, owner of the Douglas Aircraft Company, dedicated the plant on August 15, 1942. The Douglas Aircraft Company, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, operated the Tulsa facility. During World War II it produced A-24 Dauntless dive bombers, B-24 Liberator strategic bombers, and A-26 Invader medium bombers. From 1953 to 1957 during the Cold War, B-47 Stratojet strategic bombers and B-66 Destroyer medium bombers were manufactured. More than twenty-three thousand people worked in the plant during peak World War II production. The 4,004-foot-long and 200-foot-wide assembly structure provided over 800,000 square feet of floor space. Its forty-foot headroom and crane hoists were designed to process large, multiengine aircraft. A Burlington Northern Railroad spur line brought aircraft subassemblies and raw materials into one end of the building, and completed aircraft emerged from the other end. Built without windows, the plant operated under blackout conditions. In addition to the assembly building, the plant included a boiler house, cafeteria building, guardhouse, hanger, maintenance building, office building, paint shop, police building, and pump house. Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City used the plant for storage after the plant ceased aircraft production at the end of World War II. In 1951, as the Cold War with the Soviet Union intensified, the plant reopened and produced and modified aircraft until 1991. The plant also produced missile-guidance systems, space-vehicle components, electronic countermeasure devices, and stealth technologies during that time period.

It's summer sandal season and I know many of us get really nasty, rough calloused heels that nothing seems to heal very well. Anyone have a secret to soft, beautiful heels? Mine are awful!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I swear by Avon Double Action Intensive Callus Cream. They don't seem to have it by that name anymore so I ordered this instead it looks to be the same stuff and gives you pretty feet in two weeks if you use it twice a day. |

Thanks for the info. I went to the Avon site and they have another product that sounds good: Foot Works Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream. I wonder if they have similar ingredients? |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Tue, May 9, 06 at 20:15
I use a pumice stone to keep dead skin away, then a moisturizer designed for feet. |
I've tried moisturizers and daily pumicing, but what works better for me is the metal tool. I follow it with foot lotion. |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Wed, May 10, 06 at 14:45
I always look for shea butter, vitamin e, or aloe on the list of ingredients. & if you apply your lotion liberally at bedtime & sleep in a pair of socks, it enhances the lotion's effect (& keeps it off the sheets). |
I'm sorry---Jamie, I don't know what a metal tool is? |
The crack relief cream is nice but the other product is the one that for me works the best. It was discontinued for a while but brought back. Avon will bring back products if there is demand. The cracked relief cream has a local pian reliever in it. The callus cream was a miracle product for me. I had used pumice stones and that metal callus rasp. Both seemed to make the problem worse by roughing the area. Other creams didn't seem to do much. My feet were terrible unitl I found this stuff. I wouldn't wear sandals with open heels in public. Getting monthly professional pedicures will also help. |
I use Zim's Crack Cream - in spite of the funny name! |

I'm with woodie2 - I tried everything to clear up the deep cracks I had in my heels - even pedicures didn't do it. But Crack Cream worked like a charm. I can finally wear sandals again! |
I bought some Crack Cream. It might work great if could stand the scent! It made me a little queasy. But I'm sensitive to scents in general. |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Thu, May 11, 06 at 19:10
I don't use the regular pumice stone sold in beauty supplies; they are not rough enough. I get the kind used around the house, to clean bbq's and toilets. They are much rougher. The others just do nothing. |
Rosewest, it's called a callus reducer or a corn cutter. Just typing those words makes me wince, but it works for my rough heels and the pumice stone alone doesn't do it any more. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rough skin tool
barnmom, I hate the smell of the crack cream also. I agree that a professional pedicure helps a lot; I can maintain the softness afterwards by putting on a lot of lotion after a bath and wearing thick little golf socks to absorb it. But it's hard to maintain the softness, does not take much to get dry again. Moisturizing, a life long job. A long soak before using the pumice stone helps remove more of the callus. |
I use the cutter too. I picked it up at CVS a few years ago after having a pedicure where they used one of those on me. I use it about twice a month to shave the nasty stuff off the bottom. And weekly I use one a sloughing lotion to get all the rest of the icky dead skin off of my whole foot and my hands too and follow up with an AHA based foot cream from Avon (can't remember which one). I've tried the pumice things but I can scrape scrape scrape all day and it does no good. |
I use a pumice stone in the shower --- and THEN use a four-sided emery square that is normally used on ladies' false fingernails. Found those (really cheap!) at Sally Beauty Supply! By far -- the best way is to use Vaseline over a heavy-duty moisturizer and then slip on socks -- WHAT a difference a couple of sessions (about 20 minutes or so) can make!! JUST going to put on some socks -- my feet/heels need another session!! :) |

I LOVE Zim's 'Crack Cream". I use it 2x a day and after about a week and a half my heels are smooth. NO MORE CRACKS! I think this stuf is so great I even called the company to rave about! (I had bad cracks, too!) |
I recently discovered Ahava Mineral Foot Cream, and it's great. A couple of times a week, I use a Diamancil file on my feet. |
I've tried applying Vaseline to my cracked heals and wearing soaks at night but it does not last. I've been applying Vaseline to my heels than wrapping them in saran wrap THAN wearing socks to bed. My heals are moist and normal in the morning. My feet get the Saran treatment about three times a week. Sounds really weird but it works. |
- Posted by kimberlyrkb (My Page) on Sun, Jul 9, 06 at 14:29
I use a Microplane foot file - it's a miracle worker! They're a little pricey, but worth it. You can find them on Microplane's web site. |
These products work for me: Sally Hansen Creme for Thick Callouses One every few weeks: Hot Wax Treatment |
Try vaseline on feet than wrap in saran wrap than put socks over the whole mess. I do everynight and it works until you can get the hot wax treatment. |
Try something with lots of urea. Carmol 20 is a good one. My dermatologist had the pharmacist mix up a combo for me of Aquaphor and urea. Don't know how much urea was in that but I suspect it must have been more than what's available over the counter. |
Ok, really easy treatment for my rough heals...I took my scrubber nylon thing (what are those called?) Theyre little balls of nylon? anyway, I put Caress on it and just scrub the daylights out of my feet...voila! soft as a babies bottom now! wow! I have tried everything! If I would have known what I had been using all along...what money I could have saved! |
Caress---is that a bar soap? |

I have to sing the praises of Avon's Foot works (c)racked Heel Relief. it is inexpensive, not greasy and it WORKS!!! (bought my first batch a month ago and recently bought another 2 lots from ebay so I can give some to my friends) I have been plagued with emabarassing heels for as long as I can remember -using this cream for the last month - this is the nicest they have ever been. I still soak, scrape and sand - but now it lasts - it used to be in 3 days my heels were (c)racked and calloused again. Now they continue to stay looking great. I love this stuff. **This forum won't let me use the word (c)rack |
sorry rosewest, Ive been on vacation. Its the Caress body wash in the shower bottle. Pale Peach (they have so many different types now but the original is still the one I like the best.) The nylon scrubbie thing for the shower, I still dont know the name of. I swear though..this is the softest my feet have felt in ages. I wrote to Caress to tell them how much my feet have changed and how much I love their product and they sent me four coupons for 1/2 off !!!!! Now Im even softer! :) |
Thank you keekush for giving the specifics. I'll plan on picking some up this week. I know what you mean by the nylon scrubbie thingy...I'll pick up one of those too (I think I'd prefer that to the metal "tool") |
I found a great line of products to use for feet..you can usually find it at Sally's and they have a website. Check out MrPumice.com. They have callous remover creams and lotions that are great. My new best friend is the purple Mr Pumice bar. |

I had the worst problems and would never let my heels show. I found out from a smart lady to 1) In the shower when your feet are wet use a slighly abrasive flat pumice stick. Keep it up every day and don't rub too long or too hard. Be patient. A layer at a time. 2) After you dry your feet put Vaseline (it doesn't matter if it is generic) on your feet and slide on some socks. Leave them on while you dry your hair or walk around for a while or wear to bed. Do this every day. You will see that your patient routine will allow the skin on your feet to soften up and become smooth without roughing them up all over again my using harsh tools. The same goes for elbows. |
Sounds crazy but I use plain sandpaper for rough heels, followed up with a foot cream. Experiment with different textures, usuallly I use a rough sandpaper and follow up with a fine texture. Don't be too aggressive, but if patient heels will be baby soft. |
Avon is good but I swear by PureZeal Foot Soak, my pedicurist recomended I use it, she actually created it and it was featured all over, and it really does work! I love the smell and how it makes my feet feel. if you want to try it go to purezeal.com. |
I use Dermal Therpy,found it in the drugstore section of Wal-mart.Use nightly till you get desired results,then a couple times a week. HTH Trudy |
There are 2 homemade foot remedies you can make: mix sugar and cream into a paste,rub on feet,then rinse and dry. Or start with a bucket of hot water, add one-quarter cup borax and one-half cup epsom salts, soak your feet in this solution once a week. Follow both treatments with any moisturizing cream or lotion, then put on socks and leave on overnight. |

You know the nifty little power tools they use at the professional manicure and pedicure places?! They are basically a dremmel tool (not sure if I spelled it right, but you know the nifty little gadget that sands, drills, etc. There are all sorts of tips you can buy from rough to very fine. They remove all callouses and I can even clean up the cuticles, etc. with a fine tip. So head to hubbys tool box and look for his dremmel! LOL! Brenda |
Tried crack cream and that's just what it is .Crap.cream. |
- Posted by konfusedkat (My Page) on Fri, Sep 22, 06 at 13:12
Try Kerasal - most drugstores and Wal-Mart have it in the footcare section. It works like a charm. It is an ointment that contains salicylic acid - I use it at night with a pair of cotton socks and in 5-7 days my heels are soft again. You have to use it periodically to keep them soft, but it is reasonably priced and a tube lasts a pretty long time. |
- Posted by burlapgloves (My Page) on Wed, Sep 27, 06 at 22:03
I also agree with Woodie- Zim's Crack Creme works really well for this kind of thing. There is another product available called the SPA glove- you wear it for five minutes and your hands come out soft as new. It is made by the same makers as the Zim's Crack Creme, and I am typing the website down below. Good luck! |

Be careful with those Credo knives. They are like potato peelers, and you can cut too deeply and not know it till later. Do just a little, and later do some more if it needs it. |
I had very bad calloused and cracking heels. My left heel became so bad it cracked into the flesh and hurt. I tried everything. The hour of soaking, then pumicing, and foot type emory board, and creams. Nothing I did was helping enough. I saw a demonstation of the "Microplane foot file" on QVC. Before I could order it, it was sold out. So I was put on the wait list. I just went to check for it's item number, and it's sold out again. But for future reference, on QVC the item # is v24021. It costs $15.57 plus $3.97 S&H, plus tax. Just Google "Microplane foot file" and you can find it elsewhere, if it's sold out on QVC. Anyway, this thing has been a Godsend for me. My feet haven't been this nice in YEARS! You will never end up taking off too much. I ran it over and over the spots that were cracked, and never went to far in, you will know. |

You might want to try something that was suggested to me by a client several years ago. First use a really effective pumice stone on dry, always dry, heels. Then bathe or shower to get your heels wet. Apply Bag Balm or Udder Butter (yes, the stuff they use on cow's udders - available in some drug stores and also stores that cater to people with horses etc). Wrap feet in saran and cover with a pair of socks. Do this for a few days and your feet will be very soft. The only problem I find is that when my feet are soft like this they sweat. Which is something they don't do when they are hard and calloused. I guess that's just the price one must pay for beauty. |
I'm with votsie on the sandpaper even though the family gives me those weird looks. Been thinking about trying the Dremel but was afraid of doing damage since I'm on my feet constantly for 40 hrs a week. The Dremel is also great for doing pet nails. I believe they have one made specifically for that. |
Sally's Beauty Supply sells 2 excellent products that I have been using for at least 3 years .Sof'Feet callous reducer which you use on absolutely dry feet before shower or bath,and Heel to Toe peppermint sloughing lotion .I am diabetic and sometimes I'm not as diligent about foot care as I should be but I have on more than one occasion waited 'til the nite before an appointment with my podiatrist to groom my feet .My podiatrist is always saying that he wishes that he could get more of his patients to take care of themselves as well as I. To get my feet doctor ready in a short period of time I use the callous reducer followed by the sloughing lotion then I take a bath or shower and slough again.I finish by rinsing my feet ,drying between toes ,and slathering vaseline over my feet . here's an on-line source for the callous reducer and refills :http://www.footsmart.com/P-Callus-Reducer-40076.aspx |
My heels are so dry and itchy that I can hardly sleep at night, but I think I may have just found something that can help. It's called Heel Balm and it is a diabetic, urea-based foot cream. It is extremely thick and disgusting, and super sticky, too, but when I applied it last night, it stopped the itch immediately. This morning, my feet felt much softer than ever before, and so did my hands. I couldn't believe it! I sure hope this stuff continues to work! |

When you are in the shower use a pumice stone on your heels, it takes off the dry irritated skin, and after the shower use lotion like cocoa butter lotion. |

In addition to her work as an author and publisher, Anders is also a longtime event organizer. She organized a "ballerina pie fight" in 2005 for other magazine;[11] co-organized the Cross-Gender Caravan, a national transgender and genderqueer author tour;[12] And a Bookstore and Chocolate Crawl in San Francisco.[13] She Emcees an award-winning monthly reading series Writers With Drinks, a San Francisco-based event begun in 2001 that features authors from a wide range of genres[14] and has been noted for its "free-associative author introductions."[15]

Mionix has completely flipped the script since their last submission to our labs. While the Naos, their pervious submission, was all about the feature set, the mouse body was where that design shined. With all the mice to hit our labs, it is rare that you find one that accepts and tends to every finger on the hand, and it is then able to keep the entire hand on the mouse. Not only does it make the Naos very comfortable to use, but taking the hand entirely off the mouse pad, it also reduces friction and made the Naos very easy to use for precise controlled movements, even as the DPI neared the 8200 mark.
The idea this time around was to deliver all of the same level of software and components, but the exterior of the mouse has completely changed. Where thumb and finger rests once were, there are now concave sections to the side of this new contender. Even the top of the mouse, where the palm of the hand will rest, has been changed. Rather than a bulbous egg shape of the Naos, the roofline has been chopped, leaving the top of this new mouse much better for a relaxed finger tip grip or a claw grip. What sets this new submission apart from a lot of other mice is that Mionix cares about the "lefties" in the world, and designed this to be ambidextrous.
While there is still plenty we could discuss about this new Avior 8200 mouse from Mionix, we will be saving most of it for later in this review. Up front, it isn't very often that we get ambidextrous mice, and for our left handed readers, this may be exactly what you are looking for. As for the right handed users out there, of course this may be the perfect fit for you as well.
Stick around and find out if the new Mionix Avior is capable of taking on mice like the Steel Series Sensei RAW that is in use daily at the lab, and better yet, if the Avior is designed well enough to be chosen over the vast selection of "normal" mice as well.

Absences Add Up: How School Attendance Influences Student SuccessThis analysis of national testing data from Attendance Works shows that students with higher absenteeism rates have lower scores on national standardized tests. It reinforce a growing body of research confirming the connection between school attendance and student achievement and reveals the critical importance of intervening as soon as absences begin to add up, whether early in a childs school career or at the beginning of the school year. The good news is poor attendance can be turned around when policies and practices encourage schools and communities to partner with students and their families to monitor their data and implement promising and proven practices.

States Are Still Funding Higher Education Below Pre-Recession LevelsA report from the Center on Budget and Policy PrioritiesMost states have begun in the past year to restore some of the cuts they made to higher education funding after the recession hit. Eight states, though, are still cutting, and in almost all states including those that are have boosted their support higher education funding remains well below pre-recession levels. The large funding cuts have led to both steep tuition increases and spending cuts that may diminish the quality of education available to students at a time when a highly educated workforce is more crucial than ever to the nations economic future.RI Department of Health reports on immunization, lead exposure, and asthma (by school district)In October, 2013 the Department of Health and the Rhode Island Department of Education produced reports on the immunization rates, lead exposure rates, and asthma rates of students by school district.
