Is there a best time to divide lemon grass? I have a stand that I'd like to divide and put in other areas. Also, should I cut it back when dividing? If so, how much?

What sort of climate are you in? (Please don't talk zones - they don't mean a thing to me! Mention things like temperatures, frosts, sun etc.) If a warm climate, you can divide lemongrass at any time - how else are you going to get to harvest and use it? It's easier to cut it back before harvesting - just because those leaves can be sharp, and they get in the way of the spade! You can keep the leaves if you want to use them instead of (or as well as) the white bits further down. If you live in a cold climate, the plant can be divided 'once the danger of frost is over' which I presume means 'in spring'. In a very cold climate, your plant may die right down, in which case, you should dig up the entire plant in early autumn, pot up sections of it and bring them inside and keep at a minimum temperature of 7C. When doing this, just keep the soil barely moist throughout winter, and plant out again in spring. Digging up the plant is, of course, your opportunity to divide and harvest it. In my subtropical climate, lemongrass is just too big and unruly for my tiny garden, so I now keep it in a pot. When the pot gets to bulging stage, whatever time of year it is, that's when it gets divided - unless I want to harvest it beforehand. Like any grass, if you cut it, it'll grow back in no time before you cut it again, and it grows.... and the clump gets ever wider and tighter. |
I'm in the gulf coast. We typically don't get truly cold weather until late December or early January and it will only last until late February. Full sun (no trees due to hurricanes) It has outgrown the area that it's in, so I think what I need to do is harvest some and move the rest to a location where it can have more room. |
I am in coastal NC so a little colder than you are. Last week I dug up the whole clump and brought it inside the garage to over winter but you could probably leave yours in the ground outside and it would be fine. I would not divide it untill spring time when it starts to show new growth. I would dig up the whole clump and then using a sharp shovel or serrated knife, cut it into as many peices as you need and replant. It is very resiliant and each peice will grow into huge clumps by seasons end. Theresa Lim |

Vans Encore Snowboard Boot
great boot great price
I've been riding for about 15 years. I've been rockin' Vans boots for the last eight years. When the boa system came out, i bought the Encores. Great boot that fit well. Vans one piece heat molded liners give you a perfect fit. I worked in the terrain park for two years and that put me on the snow for about 120 days. These boots kept my feet warm and comfy.
For the price nothing beats the Encore.

I researched this on the forum already, but the former post failed to answer my doubts.
I planted several Mexican Feather Grass plants this early summer, and although they had a pitiful dry look at the nursery, I was assured they would green up. Typically, I have seen the grass looking 'dried' out, but that is the characteristic of the grass. However, I found that some of the grass contains very few green shoots, and I can easily pull clumps out from the soil. The plants have also not grown visibly. I have kept them well watered, and a few shoots (of the same grass type) I received from a friends garden transplanted very well, and is much greener and have grown since I got them, and they are receiving the same amount of watering. Weather has been varied, day temps between 80 - 100 degrees this summer. Is this root rot perhaps? |
Follow-Up Postings:
This grass goes into dormancy during the heat of summer, and does not grow during that time. The fact you can pull up clumps indicates at least part of the crown has died, but it's difficult to say why. I've been growing it from seed for several years now, and seldom have had a plant live beyond 2 years. Its re-seeding and short life have gotten the better of me, and I'll be digging up my last three plants this winter. |

I decided to measure myself standing against a wall to see exactly how tall I am to make sure that when I enter my numbers into the BMI calculator they're accurate. To my dismay, I am actually 5'2", not 5'3" like I thought, which means that I'm further away from a healthy weight than I thought. Dash it all!

LPGA.com counts down to the end of 2013 with the LPGA Tour's 13 top stories of the year. Join us as we look back at the year's most memorable milestones. Read about Mother Nature in Story No. 6.
Mother Nature Has Her Way
It became a running theme in 2013 that if you needed rain in your town, hope the LPGA Tour will be making a stop. Three major championships were either shortened, delayed or had multiple rounds played in one day while the inaugural Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic ended up playing an altered course of only 12 holes due to a historic rainfall on Paradise Island.
The first round of the Wegmans LPGA Championship was pushed back to Friday when Locust Hill was hammered with 2 ½ inches of rain in a 24-hour span. Players battled wet conditions all week as the rain continued to sprinkle throughout the tournament and closed out the week with a 36-hole final day on Sunday.
And then came the wind. The RICOH Women's British Open was hit during Saturday's play with wind gusts of 40 mph, making conditions unplayable. The third round was suspended with only nine players finishing their rounds on Saturday and with nine groups still needing to tee off.
Mother Nature's most memorable appearances in 2013 came at two inaugural events, the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic and The Evian Championship, which was making its debut as a major this year.
Locals in Nassau called the storm that hit the Atlantis Resort in May the worst storm in the last 20 years. Nearly a foot of rain fell on the Ocean Club golf course between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Tuesday of tournament week and forced officials to shorten the event to 54 holes in addition to shortening the course layout. Holes needed to be eliminated from play due to a significant amount of standing water and only 12 were deemed playable due to the torrential rain.
Four inches of rain fell on the newly renovated Evian Resort Golf Club since the Saturday before the Tour arrived in France for the inaugural Evian Championship. More rain during Thursday's first round called for a suspension of play and forced tournament officials to plan for a 54-hole finish. Poor forecasts called for more rain on Sunday and urged the grounds crew and officials to get innovative. Thanks to some forward thinking of tournament officials to put tarps on all of the greens at the Evian Resort Golf Club after play on Saturday, overnight rain showers only forced a 90-minute delay for the start of the final round.Topics: Counting down

Sometimes in this job you can be a kill joy. Take, for instance, a situation I was involved in a couple of weeks ago. I had the unpleasant task of informing someone that they were not going to be given 12 million dollars.
I had been invited on the morning show at KSON-FM in San Diego. One of the DJs had received an email he wanted to ask me about. I assumed it was a phishing attack, or perhaps the recent IRS scam that Kelly Conley has blogged about. It turned out he had received an email telling him he was going to be given 12 million dollars. I had to ruin his day. He was not going to be rich, and if he wasn't careful he might become a victim of the old Spanish Prisoner scam.
This con has been around since the 16th century. 500 years ago you would have received a letter from a man held in a Spanish prison. The letter would say that you had been chosen because you were well known for your honesty. If the wrongly accused man had any hope of getting out of prison, it was you and you alone that could provide it. Oh yeah, and the prisoner happened to be very rich. He didn't have access to the money right now, given that he was in prison. But once he got out he was going to share his fortune with you out of gratitude. All you had to do was send some gold coins his way, to bribe the guards, and he was as good as free.
The prisoner is not held in Spain anymore. It has shifted through the years to whatever location is topical and enhances the story. During the cold war Cuba was a popular location for the imprisonment. It was easy to believe that a rich man sat behind bars in a communist prison. According to Carl Sifakis, in his book "Hoaxes and Scams," one swindler kept six typists busy sending out letters about this Cuban prisoner. All from New York City.
Today he's not even a prisoner. There are a thousand variations now, but most often he is someone who died and has left a large fortune unclaimed. A Lawyer/Bank Official/Government Worker has sought you out because you have the same last name as the deceased. But I've also seen the scam done with diamonds, building churches, investing in real estate, and even adopting puppies.
The swindlers often come from Nigeria. In fact, the scam itself is now commonly referred to as the Nigerian Advanced Fee fraud. And they use spam, rather than typists, to reach as many victims as possible.
The DJ had of course smelled a rat. But what struck him was that the email did not ask him for money. That's part of the plan. The first email is usually elaborate, full of detail and calls for mutual trust. Confidence men want to gain your confidence. As a partner he'll tell you that it takes money to make money. But the Spanish Prisoner is never going to give you any of his.

Tuesday, July 22 09:21:19
The Australian dollar rose on Tuesday, the main mover on developed world currency markets, after the country's central bank chief said he was happy with current interest rate levels and made no attempt to talk down the currency.
The yen was a touch lower after a couple of days of raised nerves over the situation in Ukraine and Gaza that had driven the traditional safe haven close to its highest in two months against the dollar and a six-month peak against the euro.
Analysts said the day's main event would be U.S. inflation data due later, and they were also focusing on a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels due to discuss the bloc's attitude to Russia's involvement in Ukraine.
The Aussie has gained steadily since hitting an almost four-year low at the start of this year, driven by signs of improvement in its domestic economy and an easing off, at least for now, of nerves over Chinese growth.
The euro, which broke below $1.35 for the first time since February last week, was down 0.1 percent at $1.3505 early on in Europe.

definition of Wikipedia

A home birth in developed countries is an attended or an unattended childbirth in a non-clinical setting, typically using natural childbirth methods, that takes place in a residence rather than in a hospital or a birth centre, and usually attended by a midwife or lay attendant with expertise in managing home births.
Women with access to high-quality medical care may choose home birth because they prefer the intimacy of a home and family-centered experience or desire to avoid a medically-centered experience typical of a hospital or clinical setting. Professionals attending home births can be obstetricians, certified midwives and doulas. Home birth was, until the advent of modern medicine, the only method of delivery. In developing countries, where women may not be able to afford medical care or it may not be accessible to them, a home birth may be the only option available, and the woman may or may not be assisted by a professional attendant of any kind.[1]
The evidence regarding safety is difficult to interpret. The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence reports that mortality in labor or childbirth for booked home births, regardless of their eventual place of birth, is the same as, or higher than for birth booked in obstetric units.[2] The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises that "although the absolute risk may be low, planned home birth is associated with a twofold to threefold increased risk of neonatal death when compared with planned hospital birth."[3] A prior cesarean delivery significantly increases the risk of uterine rupture and other dangerous complications and women wishing to attempt a vaginal birth after cesarean should do so only in a hospital with ready access to emergency care. Due to a greater risk of perinatal death, the College advises women who are postterm (greater than 42 weeks gestation), carrying twins, or have a breech presentation not to attempt home birth.[4] A large 2009 study reported that, in the Netherlands, planned home birth led by a midwife at onset of labor "does not increase the risks of perinatal mortality and severe perinatal morbidity among low-risk women, provided the maternity care system facilitates this choice through the availability of well-trained midwives and through a good transportation and referral system."[5]
Contents |
Home births are either attended or unattended. Women are attended when they are assisted through labor and birth by a professional, usually a midwife, and rarely a general practitioner. Women who are unassisted or only attended by a lay person, perhaps their spouse, family, friend, or a non-professional birth attendant, are sometimes called freebirths.
Many women choose home birth because delivering a baby in familiar surroundings is important to them.[6] Others choose home birth because they dislike a hospital or birthing center environment, do not like a medically-centered birthing experience, are concerned about exposing the infant to hospital-borne pathogens, or dislike the presence of strangers at the birth. Others prefer home birth because they feel it is more natural and less stressful.[7]:8 In a study published in the Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health, women were asked, Why did you choose a home birth?[6] The top five reasons given were safety, avoidance of unnecessary medical interventions common in hospital births, previous negative hospital experiences, more control, and a comfortable and familiar environment.
One study found that women experience pain inherent in birth differently, and less negatively, in a home setting.[8]
Many midwives are prepared with oxygen, if needed, to assist the mother or newborn. Midwives are usually trained to provide neonatal resuscitation, start intravenous solutions, and can administer oxytocin and other medications as needed to halt postpartum hemorrhaging. They carry the supplies needed and are trained to suture. Births necessitating other interventions must be transferred to a hospital. Home births do not offer access to pharmaceutical pain relief or pharmaceutical labor induction. They do not provide ready access to the equipment and supplies required for emergency cesarean section. Most midwives develop working relationships with obstetricians and hospitals in case these options become necessary. Depending on the midwifery practice, transfer rates range from 5% to 40%, with most studies citing a transfer rate of about 16%.[9]
Home birth was until the advent of modern medicine the de facto method of delivery.[10]
In many developed countries, home birth declined rapidly over the 20th century. In the United States home birth declined from 50% in 1938 to fewer than 1% in 1955; in the United Kingdom a similar but slower trend happened with approximately 80% of births occurring at home in the 1920s and only 1% in 1991. In Japan the change in birth location happened much later, but much faster: home birth was at 95% in 1950, but only 1.2% in 1975.[11]
The decline was due in large part to the expansion of private insurance coverage in the US and taxpayer-funded medical care in Europe and Canada, changes which included policies about where birth should take place. In addition, there was a large population migration from rural to urban areas, an increased accessibility to hospitals, and unwillingness by doctors to attend to women in their homes.
One doctor described birth in a working class home in the 1920s:
You find a bed that has been slept on by the husband, wife and one or two children; it has frequently been soaked with urine, the sheets are dirty, and the patient's garments are soiled, she has not had a bath. Instead of sterile dressings you have a few old rags or the discharges are allowed to soak into a nightdress which is not changed for days.[12]:p156
This experience is contrasted with a 1920s hospital birth by Adolf Weber:
The mother lies in a well-aired disinfected room, light and sunlight stream unhindered through a high window and you can make it light as day electrically too. She is well bathed and freshly clothed on linen sheets of blinding whitenes... You have a staff of assistants who respond to every signal... Only those who have to repair a perineum in a cottars's house in a cottar's bed with the poor light and help at hand can realize the joy.[12]:157
Midwifery, the practice supporting a natural approach to birth, enjoyed a revival in the United States during the 1970s. However, although there was a steep increase in midwife-attended births between 1975 to 2002 (from less than 1.0% to 8.1%), most of these births occurred in the hospital and the US rate of out-of-hospital birth has remained steady at 1% of all births since 1989 with 27.3% of these in a free-standing birth center and 65.4% in a residence. Hence, the actual rate of home birth in the United States has remained remarkably low (0.65%) over the past twenty years.[13]
Home birth in the United Kingdom has also received some press over the past few years as there has been a movement, most notably in Wales, to increase home birth rates to 10% by 2007. Between 2005 to 2006, there was an increase of 16% of home birth rates in Wales, but the total home birth rate is still 3% even in Wales (double the national rate) and in some other counties of Great Britain the home birth rate is still under 1%.[citation needed] In Australia, birth at home has fallen steadily over the years and is currently 0.3%, ranging from nearly 1% in the Northern Territory to 0.1% in Queensland.[14]:20 The New Zealand rate for births at home is nearly three times Australia's with a rate of 2.5% and increasing.[15]:64
In the Netherlands, an opposite trend has taken place: in 1965, two-thirds of Dutch births took place at home, but that figure has dropped to less than a third—about 30%.[16]
In Korea, well-known Actress Kim Se-ah-I made headlines in January 2010 when she delivered a baby girl at home. Less than one percent of Korean infants are born at home.[17]
The data available on the safety of home birth in developed countries is limited and difficult to interpret due to issues such as studies being too small in scope, retrospective in their design, and difficult to compare with other studies because of varying definitions of perinatal mortality.[2] It is difficult to compare home and hospital births because only healthy, low-risk women tend to give birth at home.[18] An additional problem is that transportation time is a significant factor in safety, and data comes from many different countries, which have different population density levels and therefore different average hospital distances.[19]
In 2007, after a comprehensive review of the literature, the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) expressed concern for the lack of quality evidence comparing the potential risks and benefits of home and hospital birthing environments. Their report also noted that intrapartum-related perinatal mortality was low in all settings. In conclusion, the report recommended that women should be offered the choice of planning birth at home, in a midwifery unit or in an obstetric unit, and informed of the potential risks and benefits of each birth setting.
The uncertain evidence suggests intrapartum-related perinatal mortality (IPPM) for booked home births, regardless of their eventual place of birth, is the same as, or higher than for birth booked in obstetric units. If IPPM is higher, this is likely to be in the group of women in whom intrapartum complications develop and who require transfer into the obstetric unit.
When unanticipated obstetric complications arise, either in the mother or baby, during labour at home, the outcome of serious complications is likely to be less favourable than when the same complications arise in an obstetric unit.[20]
The NICE report concluded that women who give birth at home are more likely to deliver vaginally and to have greater satisfaction from the experience when compared with women who plan to give birth in a hospital. The report compared women's home birth experience to birth in a consultant-led unit. It concluded that the consultant-led setting increased the likelihood that the woman would receive analgesia, obstetrical intervention and a delivery using instruments, and decreased the woman's satisfaction with the experience. It reported that women who give birth at home may experience an equal or lower risk of perinatal mortality equal when they receive care in a consultant-led unit.[2]
Since the 2007 review, a study of 529,688 low-risk planned home and hospital births was reported in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2009. The study concluded:
A home birth does not increase the risks of perinatal mortality and severe perinatal morbidity among low risk women, provided the maternity care system facilitiates this choice through the availability of well-trained midwives and through a good transportation and referral system.[5]
Further, the study noted there was evidence that "low risk women with a planned home birth are less likely to experience referral to secondary care and subsequent obstetric interventions than those with a planned hospital birth."[5]:9 The study has been criticised on several grounds, including that some data might be missing and that the findings may not be representative of other populations.[21]
In North America, a 2005 study found "similar mortality rates for low-risk hospital births and planned home births." The study found that mothers who gave birth at home were less likely to require medical interventions like a caesarean section or forceps delivery. About 12 percent of women intending to give birth at home needed to be transferred to the hospital for reasons such as a difficult labor or pain relief.[22] However, women in the study were more likely to already have had a child, tended to be older, of lower socioeconomic classes, better educated, and less likely to be African-American or Hispanic.[22]
A 2010 meta-analysis of studies which compared home births with planned hospital births among healthy, low-risk mothers in industrialized countries found no difference in the home and hospital rates of perinatal death, but also found that "planned home birth is associated with a tripling of the neonatal mortality rate." The authors wrote that they found this increase "striking" since women planning home births generally had fewer risk factors than those planning hospital births — lower rates of obesity, fewer prior Caesarean sections, and fewer previous pregnancy complications.[23] This study was controversial for many reasons, most notably that it included a large U.S. study that contained both planned and unplanned home births,[24] the latter of which are known to have much higher rates of perinatal mortality.[25]

Randomized controlled trials are the "gold standard" of research methodology with respect to applying findings to populations; however, such a study design is not feasible or ethical for location of birth. The studies that do exist, therefore, tend to be cohort studies conducted either retrospectively (by selecting hospital records that match the characteristics of the home birth records),[26] by matched pairs (by pairing study participants based on their background characteristics),[27][28] or by using multivariate analysis to control for background variables.[29] The Midwives Alliance of North America is collecting prospective data from out of hospital births for future research.[30]
There are many differences between women who choose to give birth at home versus in hospital. There are unquantifiable differences in home birth patients, such as maternal attitudes towards medical involvement in birth,[26] and demographically, home birth patients tend towards being more multiparous, less ethnic minorities, attend more prenatal visits, be slightly taller and lighter, of better educational background, and have fewer previous obstetric complications, including cesarean sections.[29] None of the studies conducted were able to study a large enough group of matched births to make definitive statements concerning perinatal mortality and other rare complications.[citation needed]
A Cochrane review found only one trial with small numbers that provided no strong evidence to favour either planned hospital birth or planned home birth for low-risk pregnant women.[31] The authors concluded that where it is possible to establish a home birth service with access to a modern hospital system, the possibility of a planned home birth for low-risk pregnant women should be offered after discussion regarding the available evidence.
However, in a study of over four hundred Cochrane entries, C. H. Hofmeyr reported that, "The relative benefits and risks of different settings are difficult to quantify. For a woman and her baby with no complications, the risk of an unexpected adverse event during a home birth may be smaller than risks specific to hospitalization, such as hospital-acquired infections." [32]
Evaluations of maternal safety are based on studies of developed countries where professionals are available to attend to women giving birth at home. Women who do not receive prenatal care and give birth unattended have a much higher risk for maternal deaths and perinatal mortality.
All medical interventions were substantially decreased in the home birth sample[citation needed], including the use of any pain medication or analgesics including epidurals, forceps or vacuum extraction, episiotomy and cesarean sections. Accordingly, the likelihood of normal vaginal birth was also greatly increased in the home birth sample[citation needed]. The studies[which?] were able to establish that there was no difference between the home birth and the hospital birth groups in the incidence of pre-eclampsia, premature rupture of membranes, or premature birth. Except in the 1989-1992 Zurich study.[27] the length of labor tended to be longer during home birth, which is unsurprising given the fivefold lower incidence of labor induction in the home birth populations[citation needed].
In terms of maternal outcome, no study found any statistically significant difference between the number of women that had third-degree perineal lacerations or postpartum hemorrhage[citation needed]. However, the 1998-1999 British Columbia study did find a three- to fourfold less likelihood of infection for both the infant and the mother,[29] and all studies[which?] reported a substantially higher likelihood of an intact perineum in the home birth sample.
Perinatal outcome is more complicated to assess due to the low incidence of mortality and the subjectivity of Apgar scoring. Most studies found a slight, but statistically significant, difference in Apgar score for infants at five minutes. However, the 1994 UK National Birthday Trust study found a slight advantage for home birthed infants at one minute and no difference at five minutes.[28] No cohort study has conducted long-term follow up on the infants. The perinatal mortality figure still remains controversial. The Zurich study[27] showed an equal perinatal death rate between the home birth group and the hospital birth group (2.3 / 1000), and the Birthday Trust study found a slightly higher perinatal death rate in the hospital birth group (1 / 1000 vs. 0.8/1000).[28] However, two other studies[26][29] found a slightly higher perinatal mortality in the home birth group as compared to the hospital birth group. None of these results were seen to be statistically significant, since the actual mortality rate and the sample sizes were both so low, these figures have been the subject of much debate regarding the relative safety of home birth compared to hospital birth.[29][33]
While a woman in developed countries may choose to deliver her child at home, in a birthing center, or at hospital, legal issues influence her options.
In April 2007, the Western Australian Government expanded coverage for birth at home across the State.[34] Other state governments in Australia, including the Northern Territory, New South Wales and South Australia, also provide government funding for independent, private home birth.
The 2009 Federal Budget provided additional funds to Medicare to allow more midwives to work as private practitioners, allow midwives to prescribe medication under the Medicare Benefits Schedule, and assist them with medical indemnity insurance.[35] However, this plan only covers hospital births. There are no current plans to extend Medicare and PBS funding to home birth services in Australia.
As of July 2010, all health professionals must show proof of liability insurance. Midwives who attend home births will be excluded from the indemnity requirement for two years while the government seeks to make affordable insurance available.[36]
Public health coverage of home birth services varies from province to province as does the availability of doctors and midwives providing home birth services. The Provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, and Quebec currently cover home birth services.[37][38]
A comprehensive four-year study of all home births attended by midwives in British Columbia, published in August 2009, found "Planned home birth attended by a registered midwife was associated with very low and comparable rates of perinatal death and reduced rates of obstetric interventions and other adverse perinatal outcomes compared with planned hospital birth attended by a midwife or physician."[39]
There are few legal issues with a home birth in the UK. There is no way a woman can be forced to go to hospital,[40] if she does not want to. Both the RCM (Royal College of Midwives) and the RCOG (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) support home births where there are no expected complications.[41] The support of the various Health Authorities of the National Health Service may vary, but in general the Government is pro home birth - the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health, Lord Hunt of King's Heath has stated
I turn to the issue of home births. The noble Lord, Lord Mancroft, made some helpful remarks. As I understand it, although the NHS has a legal duty to provide a maternity service, there is not a similar legal duty to provide a home birth service to every woman who requests one. However, I certainly hope that when a woman wants a home birth, and it is clinically appropriate, the NHS will do all it can to support that woman in her choice of a home birth."[42]
My Lords, I have had two babies at home. I should say that my wife had the babies but I was an enthusiastic spectator. The Government want to ensure that, where it is clinically appropriate, if a woman wishes to have a home birth she should receive the appropriate support from the health service. At the end of the day, it must be the woman's choice."[43]
In 27 states it is legal to hire a direct-entry midwife, or certified professional midwife (CPM).[44] It is legal in all 50 states to hire a certified nurse midwife, or CNM, who are trained nurses, though this practice is rare as most CNMs work in hospitals.[44] Some CPMs continue to attend mothers in the 23 states where it is illegal, and can be arrested and prosecuted, while efforts are underway to change the law.[44]
Practising as a direct-entry midwife is still (as of May 2006) illegal under certain circumstances in Washington, D.C. and the following states: Alabama, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming.[45] However, Certified Nurse Midwives can legally practise in these areas.
No state prosecutes mothers for giving birth outside a hospital.
In Hungary home birth is not illegal but midwives are refused certification to aid it. Ágnes Geréb, an obstetrician and midwife, and main promoter of home birth in Hungary, is currently on trial.[46]

Hi, I recently bought a house with a large mature fig tree in the backyard. last year it had a very good crop, this year half the tree is dead/dying. Any ideas or suggestions as to why? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thousands of fig trees were either killed, or very badly damaged by the Winter of '13-'14. Your tree was probably also damaged. Without photos, it's hard to tell if it's due to a bad winter, disease, or, both. I'll assume it was winter damaged. Prune away all dead/dying wood, and keep the tree watered until it goes dormant. If it survives the coming winter, next spring it will re-sprout. It may take a few years to recover. Keep the tree pruned back for easier harvesting of figs. Many fig tree growers are in the same boat. Good luck. Your tree will most likely survive, and you'll pick figs again. Frank |

Time in Line of Work for Mortgage Qualification - What Counts?
Question from an e-mail:
Hi, I have a question about mortgages. My boyfriend and I are looking to buy a home, and since I have recently quit my job he would be the primary applicant. He makes $44k and we are looking at houses about $150k. We both have very good credit although I have some debt. I am wondering though what kind of rate we are going to get since he recently graduated and just started his job about a month ago. Is that going to affect the rate of the mortgage or how much he can qualify for, and by how much? Also, I have a small business that has been running for about a year and a half - it made a good bit of money last year, about $55k, and is still making some (albeit less now than it was last year.) Would it be worth it for me to co-apply, based on that income, since I don't have a salaried job currently? If I am not on the mortgage, I will sign a lease to him. We are going to put about $10,000 down. Thanks!
First off, let me briefly explain that unless someone has either truly putrid credit or large monthly payments that kill the debt to income ratio, there just isn't a reason to leave someone off a loan. So what if John is a househusband or Jane is a housewife with no income? They're still part of that marriage partnership, and the same applies (minus the word marriage) if the folks involved aren't married. Gays (with or without civil unions) and cohabiting straights are exactly the same as married folks except that I have to put them on separate applications instead of applying on the same sheet of paper, and if they're committed to each other, well isn't that what being a committed partner is all about - sharing benefits as well as responsibilities? In other words, ownership of the property and indebtedness for the loan.
Depending upon your situation, however, if you sign the lease it may actually help the boyfriend qualify more than your income would if you were on the loan. Leases that fulfill lender requirements generally aren't scrutinized for the ability of the lessee to pay, where if you were on the loan, the money that the lender would believe you could contribute might not pass scrutiny.
Now, let's look at the individual situations.
You are the more clear cut candidate. You have no current salaried income from employment, but you do have a side business with historic, documentable income. If you'd been doing it for two years, you'd have two years in current line of work and the ability to use that income all in one fell swoop. The way that is measured is monthly income averaged over the previous two years, as reported on your federal income tax forms. However, at this point all you have is one year. Still, it's worth submitting, because $4150 per month over one year isn't chicken feed. If you can show some income in the business for the previous year, and evidence of when you started, they're likely to average it over the full two years leaving you with a minimum of about $2100 per month to add into the gross income kitty. After all, it's a going concern, you're still doing it and nobody fires owners.
Furthermore, if you can get a job and a paystub in your previous field of employment before you apply for that loan, now you're employed over two years in the same line of work, simply with a gap in employment. When they average that out, it'll be a bit of a hit, but you'll still get substantial credit for your employment income.
Your boyfriend is a bit less cut and dried, especially at this update. When I first wrote this, if he was in the profession for which he was was granted the degree (for instance, a doctor or nurse when he was studying medicine), then it was pretty easy to get credit for the time in line of work. He was in medicine, he just wasn't getting paid until recently. It was never written into A paper guidelines that I'm aware of, but lender guidelines had some common sense to them. With the tightening of what the secondary market for loans will accept and the federal regulatory screws however, this is now becoming more difficult to get approved. Lenders want to see the stipulated period of actual documentable income.
If the boyfriend is in an profession unrelated to the course of study, he's just going to have to wait until he has his two years in. There's no history of involvement, and people get jobs in various fields all the time that it turns out they can't - or won't - continue in. For example, sales. That's fine, but the lenders don't want to get caught by default when they leave the field and can't make mortgage payments.
So I can see possible situations arising out of what you describe that could have either one of you primary on the loan, or completely unable to do the loan without resorting to subprime financing. Each individual situation can turn upon some very fine points, kind of like theology or law.

I have finally decided to purchase a front load washer. I am especially interested in a Whirlpool Duet or LG. I need some feedback on pros and cons of both of these brands. This is new to me because I currently have a top load washer now with an agitator. I have researched Consumer Reports and find the search very confusing. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I can speak on LG.... We got a LG 2077 washer and matching dryer at the end of 2004 and it lasted until this April when a flood in our basement took the dryer out. Since it was city sewer water that flooded our basement with 3.5 ft of water, we replaced them both since neither my wife or I would think our clothes would have gotten "clean" again. In those 6 years the machines worked great and probably would work today if it were not for the flood. Cleaning performance was great and we really liked the machines. We replaced them with a matching Kenmore set which is made by LG. We got the 4044 washer with steam and the matching gas dryer. They also work well. I think the most important thing is to get a machine with a heater. If it has a Sanitary cycle it has a heater. Hope this helps! |

Before I got my Frigidaire FL, I did some research. The LG's got much better reviews than the Whirlpools. I would have gone LG but they were out of my price range at them time so I got the Frigidaire. Next one I get will be an LG. I just haven't decided if I want the HE top loader or the FL. |
We upgraded from Whirlpool Duet Sport to LG WM2301 last year and I couldn't be happier. Mind you, the Duets we had were the smaller, simpler version of Duets, so I'm not sure how they would compare to the full size set with all the features. But my new LG washes a lot better, does not vibrate as much and, most importantly, has a heater that heats up the wash water in Hot and Extra Hot cycles. Whatever you decide, do what itguy08 says: get a washer with a heater. |

St. Leo III - Leo III is remembered as Charlemagne's pope. The cardinal priest of Santa Susanna, Leo was unanimously elected to the papal see in 795. Four years later, a mob led by relatives of his predecessor, Pope Adrian I, tried to blind Leo and cut out his tongue; such mutilations would have rendered him unfit to rule. Having escaped physical danger, he was imprisoned in a monastery during an attempt to depose him. He escaped to Charlemagne's retreat at Paderborn, where Alcuin defended him against charges of adultery and purjury on the grounds that no earthly power can judge the successor to St. Peter.

Modern Kitchen in Portland
Kitchen Remodel with a nod to Mid-Century Design
The view from the family room. Custom table and chairs by the Joinery. Art niches to showcase the client's collections from their travels. The glass cabinets at the pass through allow the light and conversation to flow from the formal dining room into the kitchen.
Coming in from the Garage, the view is still beautiful! Art niche is lit with LED lighting and spaces for the mail are out of sight! Top of divider is Wenge, cabinets are cherry by Neil Kelly Signature Line
The island houses the Sharp Microwave drawer and an induction cooktop. The divider between the banquet and the island keeps the conversation flowing but hides the clutter and mess of the meal prep! The pantry varies in depth (13", 14", 15") and height for interest and more storage capabilities.
Clients will tell me at the beginning of the design phase that in their new kitchen, NOTHING will be on the counters - but we all know that's not what happens. Here, we created a niche that is out of the way, but the perfect space for the spices you use daily. The addition of Task Lighting's Angled Plug moulding keeps the backsplash free from clutter.
In just 3" of space, spices can be organized. This item is from Rev-a-Shelf and stores about 40 spices. If you alphabetize them, you save time and money!
Why waste space? The depth of the divider between the cooktop island and the banquet is 12", consider convenient niches to store anything from a place to charge your phones and keep the daily puzzle to cookbook storage.

It is pretty, especially in stairs, but if you are trying to grow something else, its hard to control. |
Does have an advantage that I heard about recently, in areas of Louisiana creeping charlie and sunflowers were apparently to absorb the heavy metals from the soil. The plants were apparently removed and sent to a hazard waste place. This may be one of those urban tales. |

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., July 11, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Phase 3 results from the RE-NOVATE(TM) trial demonstrated that oral dabigatran etexilate once daily, administered for an average of 33 days, was non-inferior to enoxaparin, also administered for an average of 33 days, in preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) and all-cause mortality after total hip replacement surgery. In this trial, the rate of major bleeding associated with dabigatran etexilate was similar to enoxaparin. The incidence of liver enzyme elevations and acute coronary events during the treatment or during the follow-up period did not differ significantly between the treatment groups. These data were presented at the XXIst Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) today.(i) In clinical trials, dabigatran etexilate is given orally once daily and does not require titration or coagulation monitoring.
Results of the RE-NOVATE trial showed that both oral doses (220mg; 150 mg) of dabigatran etexilate were non-inferior to injected enoxaparin at reducing the risk of thromboembolic disease after primary elective total hip replacement surgery when given for the extended average time period of 33 days. The incidences for the primary efficacy composite endpoint of total VTE and all-cause mortality were 6.0% (dabigatran 220 mg), 8.6% (dabigatran 150 mg), and 6.7% (enoxaparin 40 mg). The incidences of total VTE and all-cause mortality in both dabigatran dose groups were within the pre-specified non- inferiority margin of 7.7%. Safety was evaluated for 3,463 patients receiving study treatment. The incidences of major bleeding events were similar in all treatment groups, 2.0% (dabigatran 220 mg), 1.3% (dabigatran 150 mg), and 1.6% (enoxaparin 40 mg).
Also presented at ISTH was a pooled analysis of major VTE and
VTE-related mortality after primary elective knee and hip

Recently, I attended the Gender Spectrum Family Conference, which focuses on helping parents and caregivers understand and meet the needs of their transgender and gender-variant children.
One of the things that can be hard, when choosing to come out to parents, is the fact that you might feel like you have to educate them about gender issues, both on a general level and in terms of your own identity; this can make a process that might already feel overwhelming or stressful even harder to manage. Letting an organization that's dedicated to this sort of education do some of the work for you can take some of that weight off of your shoulders.
Also, it's helpful for parents to have their own source of support in handling a child's gender identity or transition. Of course, you're going to be the best expert in your own identity and what support you specifically need from your family and loved ones, but it might be a big help for everyone involved if you can connect them to some of these

I recently found out I was pregnant again and I'm not for sure how to go about it. I've only told one person and that's my older sister. I know for sure that I do not want to keep the baby but I don't have enough money for abortion and if I tell my dad it could turn out very bad. I live in Kentucky, and I am trying to figure out how to go about a judicial bypass and an abortion but I need help with money.
Scarleteen's users are diverse, as are the reasons they find us, and the issues they bring to us. For some, the needs are as basic as needing to know how and when to use a condom or a hormonal contraceptive, or learning the names and functions of body parts. Some want help figuring out if sex with another person is something they want or not, or are ready for; some need help learning to negotiate or assert their sexual or interpersonal wants and needs. Many just need to know, from especially from someone who doesn't want anything from them, that it's okay for them to have sexual feelings and a sexuality. Many users like these have access to sexual healthcare, supportive and caring families or communities, and haven't experienced great sexual or interpersonal traumas. For those users, we're often something they need, but not something they can't manage without. We're a valuable helper, but not the only help they've got to draw on.
Some of our users come to Scarleteen just once or twic

Since we began the drive on the 13th, you've helped us raise just over $5,000. If the donors who chose to give monthly all keep that up for the year, that will get us to $8,500 of the total funds we need. Hooray!
We're still a long way off from raising what we need, though.
Here to help save the day, longtime Scarleteen donor, supporter and superhero (and also kickass science author) Stephen Luntz has offered a $2,000 match for funds we can raise from today at 9AM PST, through Thursday, February 28th, at 9 AM PST.
That's just $2,000 we need your help generating in the next 48 hours in order to grab those matching funds.
(We won't actually grab them. We'll take them only when offered and then say thank you politely.)

I can't change her mind about that because she's very stubborn.I know I should tell someone, but who should I tell?
I'm a seventeen-year-old girl and ten months ago, I was diagnosed with a light form of pseudologica fantasia, usually known as mythomania. The basis of this illness is an addiction to telling lies. I'm seeing a therapist for this and she's a very kind and competent woman, but she has warned me that this illness is usually hard to cure and there are few known cases where the therapy was actually able to get rid of the problem. I'm doing a better job at keeping it under control than I used to but the urge is still there. I just keep it under wraps and tackle the illness on my own, with the support of my nuclear family. The thing is, one of my friends has recently expressed a romantic interest in me, and I would very much like to get involved in a relationship with him, but this would mean disclosing my problem to him, because of course I'm not going to enter a relationship without telling the other person involved about this first.

I can always find 15 or 20 minutes to waste watching someone do something as stupid as eating a Reaper. Definitely post a link to the video, uncensored of course. Yes, those are classic looking and beautifully formed Reaper pods. Lets just hope the heat matches. Bruce |
I'll definetely be posting the link here when it's ready! I tried 1/4 of one a while back from the plants... Pretty much destroyed me for 20 min. Jay |
Nice looking pods there Jay. Pretty awesome to claim you grew those. I have to agree with Stoney. Grow it-Gotta try it, in this case a small piece. |

I love super hots and have never been the youtube idiot to eat a whole pod,really now what does it really prove other the sub 3 digit IQ? If being a social media idiot"does it for you" then knock your self out!! Stem and clean those reaper pods and fine dice them,add about 1/8th of a pods worth to a good cracker and cheese. Eat it and then thank yourself for not eating the whole pod. The flavor is special and will cut thru whatever its mixed with,yes you will get plenty of face burn once your mouth melts and you stop counting your teeth because your gums recessed to your pallet. Personally I think the Brown Moruga's pack a better heat hit and more intense burn(deeper in the throat). Again the reaper has its own flavor,but youll only taste it for about 9 sec,then it will return after about 15 min as your taste buds regain conciseness. My $.0┬╝ |
I have Reaper Powder from Volcanic Peppers. I also have Bhut powder. The Bhut powder is pretty tame compared to the Reaper powder. I've eaten pieces of Bhut, TMS, and other >1,000,000 SHU peppers, but I'm thinking that Reaper peppers are crazy-nutz. I've never tried a Reaper pepper. I'm growing them this year, but if they're as hot as the powder I have, then I'm expecting pain. |

To date the the Douglah is the hottest pepper I've had the misfortune of putting in my mouth.The Butch T was a close second. It'll be interesting to see how the Reaper compares. Bill |
