Matt, I don't have an answer. But, on a hunch, have these been exposed to a light frost? Bill |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 6a Indiana (My Page) on Mon, Feb 10, 14 at 10:58
Only last fall, just before I brought them into the house. |
- Posted by Macroclemys 7b (NC) (My Page) on Mon, Feb 10, 14 at 11:03
Were these leaves already emerging when they were exposed to the cold? And have you had this discoloration since then (or nearly since then)? |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 6a Indiana (My Page) on Mon, Feb 10, 14 at 11:08
All these leaves are new this year. I had all the bulbs in the basement all winter - brought them up about a month ago. I don't remember seeing this in the past. |
This is what virused leaves look like: The virus doesn't really show up on new leaves especially when grown in the house. I'd keep this bulb away from your others just in case though but I wouldn't panic quite yet. Donna |
- Posted by Macroclemys 7b (NC) (My Page) on Mon, Feb 10, 14 at 11:25
Oh, then disregard the frost hypothesis. |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 6a Indiana (My Page) on Mon, Feb 10, 14 at 11:28
Ahhhh! Horror of horrors...I was afraid of that. How far from each other should they be in the house? |
A virused plant shouldn't be touching any other plants in fact if you can isolate it in another room all the better. If you have a virused plant don't touch it and then touch another plant you must wash your hands. When you break off a stem or remove dried leaves you must destroy them and certainly don't touch any other plant with plant juices on your hand, even the computer that you may go back to later and inadvertently spread the virus. Don't use the pollen from a diseased plant on any other plant that is healthy. The general consensus is that seeds grown on a virused plant are healthy. I can attest to that so far but there might be exceptions to every rule. Hopefully you haven't any bugs in your house as that's the best way to spread the virus through chewing insects that bite the virused plant and then bite others amaryllis. If you do choose to pollinate a virused bulb make sure that whatever you dab the pollen on with doesn't go back into your vial of pollen or you could contaminate the rest of that particular pollen. I wouldn't knowingly use a pot over that has held a virused bulb unless it has been soaking in a bleach solution for 15 minutes or so. Bottom line is if you feel sure you have a virused plant and it isn't something that you can't replace then get rid of it and buy a new one. No need to take chances. Now, I'm not saying your plant is virused that decision is for you to make. And as I said before I've never seen new leaves on any virused plant show the mottling until the plant has been out in the sun. Also, papilio is said to be virus resistant. You can read loads of material on this forum on this virus issue which I would advise you to do. We've had some pretty hot-under- the-collar discussions about this! Let us know what you plan to do. Donna |

Thanks Donna - I guess I'll just wait and see. |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 6a Indiana (My Page) on Mon, Feb 10, 14 at 16:29
They have had some direct sun light last week. |
Matt, It has to be direct hot summer sun with the plant outside for a few months. Stress is what makes the symptoms appear, hot blazing sun and drying out from time to time. Winter sun through a window wouldn't do it in my opinion. Dappled sun in the summer might not do it either. Donna |

In a book coming out next week called The Bonobo and the Atheist, primatologist Frans de Waal argues that morality is built into our species. Rather than coming to us top-down from God, or any other external source, morality for de Waal springs bottom-up from our emotions and our day-to-day social interactions, which themselves evolved from foundations in animal societies.
For 30 years, de Waal has authored books about apes and monkey that open our eyes to the bottom-up origins of our human behaviors, ranging from politics to empathy. In this, his 10th volume, he extends that perspective by writing, "It wasn't God who introduced us to morality; rather, it was the other way around. God was put into place to help us live the way we felt we ought to."
"The way we felt we ought to" has a long evolutionary history, so that de Waal's thesis depends crucially on numerous and convincing examples from our closest living relatives.
Azalea, a trisomic rhesus macaque (trisomic = born with three copies of a certain chromosome), had abnormal motor and social skills, in ways somewhat akin to humans with Down syndrome. Instead of punishing her "incomprehensible blunders," such as threatening the alpha male, the other macaques were accepting and forgiving of her until Azalea's death at age three. Female chimpanzees may confront and shut down an overly aggressive male, sometimes even pulling two adversaries close together for reconciliation, or prying rocks from an aroused males' hands.
In cases like these, animals are feeling empathy, then acting on that feeling with displays of kindness or help, behavior that de Waal callssympathy. The empathy is purely embodied — literally felt in the body — and part of our evolved biology. "Our brains have been designed to blur the line between self and other," he writes. "It is an ancient neural circuitry that marks every mammal, from mouse to elephant."
Despite the sweeping nature of this last statement, what's great about the book are de Waal's careful distinctions. He's never naïve about animal goodness, as if it were hard-wired: how could he be when he has worked so closely for decades with chimpanzees, a species known for outbursts of brutal violence? De Waal sees the bonobo (of the book's title) as more empathetic than the chimpanzee. Bonobos share food, and even across different groups, enjoy sexy, peaceful and playful relationships. But nowhere is it agentle natural world that he describes. His focus instead is the utter wrongness of Veneer Theory, the historically popular idea that our morality is "a thin veneer over a cauldron of nasty tendencies." [continue]
Tags: Frans de Waal, God, atheism, bonobos, empathy, evolution, morality, primates, sympathy
An increasing number of animal studies are trending in this direction, that nature provides the environment for an evolutionary development of basic ethics. This is beginning to tie into brain studies showing that some behaviors thought "inexplicable" are in fact normal functions of the brain. I think there may be a good natural theory of ethics within the next two decades. I can also see the criticisms of this book, especially in the author's labeling of behaviors. Critics will argue that these behaviors in apes may be motivated by different emotions, and that de Waal is simply projecting human characteristics onto apes. It would be interesting to see how de Waal or his supporters respond to such criticisms.
In his book, Chimpanzee Politics, he publishes peer critiques to the book, then follows that up with a response to each, or a general response to all. Not sure now.

The Contact Group on endosulfan and new persistent organic pollutants to the Stockholm Convention, meeting in Geneva, has proceeded to prepare draft decisions for listing endosulfan for ban.
The group is also preparing a work programme to address alternatives. India and some other nations had earlier raised issue of lack of alternatives and non-availability of technology at the convention, according to information reaching here.
Discussions on Wednesday centred on how to list endosulfan sulphate, one of the degradation products of endosulfan, for ban and crop-pest complexes for exemption and assess alternatives to endosulfan. The conference is also working on improving the compliance mechanism for banned persistent organic pollutants and financial assistance to developing countries and countries with economies in transition to meet the treaty obligations.
Meanwhile Dr. Mohammed Asheel of Kerala 92s Health Services, who is attending the conference as an independent observer, has sent a communication to the Kerala Health Minister P. K. Sreemathi mentioning instances of the organisations of the pesticide industry, present at the conference as observers, influencing the Indian delegation to the conference. The Indian delegates are just following their bosses in the pesticide industry, he criticised.

'ABCs of Death 2′ Giving Us 26 (Somewhat New) Directors and 26 (Definitely New) Ways to Die
In Development By Samantha Wilson on August 14, 2013 | Be the First To CommentHorror fans and sickos rejoice – the production team behind The ABCs of Death 2, the sequel to the 2012 compilation hit, has announced that they have a a full directorial roster in place to bring audiences 26 more gruesome stories. The original film took a horror director and assigned them a letter of the alphabet, then let them use their disgusting, fantastic brains to do whatever they pleased with that chapter. For example, in last year's edition, director Michael Sarmiento offered up "D is for Dogfight" for his chapter. In a departure from the original, The ABCs of Death 2 is adding directors to the roster that aren't necessarily from the horror world: Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh), Todd Rohal (The Catechism Catalysm), Steven Kostanski (Manborg), Alejandro Brugués (Juan of the Dead), Jim Hosking (a UK commerical director), Hajime Ohata (Henge), and Chris Nash (Skinfections). They'll be joining a roster of already confirmed horror filmmakers that include Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube) and Goya Award winner Álex de Iglesia (Day of the Beast). Still following me? Now, the roster only has 25 names mentioned because of the series popular – and pretty fantastic – "26th Director Competition," in which filmmakers from all over the world can compete to be included in the film as the missing chapter.
Review: 'Nature Calls' Leans on Shock Value for Laughs That Dilute Emotional Impact
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on November 8, 2012 | Comments (1)Editor's note: Yet another SXSW feature is hitting limited release, so please relieve yourselves with this Nature Calls review, originally published on March 11, 2012. Filmmaker Todd Rohal's third feature film, Nature Calls, returns to a world similar to that of his The Catechism Cataclysm – a world marked by complete madness by way of a poorly planned excursions to the outdoors. Rohal is again concerned with pushing the envelope, particularly when it comes to poking fun at organized religion, but a sweet edge of sentimentality and emotions sets Nature Calls apart from his previous outing. Unfortunately, Rohal's film cannot quite join its disparate parts – wacky antics, inspired upbraiding of modern consumer life, physical danger, and fractured familial relationships – into one cohesive piece, and while the film's laughs are frequent, they are fleeting and don't have any weight behind them. Also, goddamn can this thing be offensive.
Today in Hijinks Ensue: Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt to Play Brothers in Todd Rohal's Next Film
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on August 22, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIf you've ever dreamed of seeing Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt play bickering brothers on screen, as imagined by the guy who brought us The Catechism Cataclysm, co-starring a bunch of young boys, have I got a movie for you. Knoxville and Oswalt will co-star in Todd Rohal's next film with precisely all of those elements, plus camping! The as-yet-untitled film follows Knoxville and Oswalt's characters, "a pair of battling brothers who attempt to honor their ailing father by taking a troop of boys on a last ditch camping trip that goes wildly wrong." I suppose every family has its different ways of honoring its elders and, in this case, that means participating in something that sounds almost exactly like a terrifying horror film with an upbeat "hijinks ensue!!" tacked on the end of its plotline. We should also expect the unexpected, and ready ourselves for hilarious consequences. However, if you're at all familiar with Rohal's work (particularly Sundance's The Catechism Cataclysm), you'll know that the writer and director's films tend to skew a bit more twisted than such a standard "be ready for crazy laughs!" plotline would typically hint at. And, as the film is apparently "loosely based on Rohal's experiences growing up," his brand of off-kilter comedy may also find itself infused with some genuine familial emotion.

In Hinduism, the triad of the three great gods: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Scholars consider the trimurti doctrine an attempt to reconcile different monotheistic approaches with one another and with the philosophic doctrine of ultimate reality. In trimurti symbolism, the three gods are collapsed into a single form with three faces. Each god is in charge of an aspect of creation, with Brahma as creator, Vishnu as preserver, and Shiva as destroyer; however, some sects ascribe all aspects of creation to their deity of choice. Though sometimes called the Hindu Trinity, trimurti has little similarity to the Holy Trinity of Christianity.

By Scott Malone and Jill Serjeant BOSTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - A blizzard swept across the northeastern United States, dropping more than a foot (30 cm) of snow but falling short of more dire predictions that sent workers and students home, halted thousands of flights and prompted New York officials to ban cars from roads and shut down subway trains. As day broke on Tuesday, the leaders of New York City, New York state and New Jersey began lifting travel bans imposed the night before, when forecasters warned of a potentially "historic" blizzard that could dump as much as 3 feet (90 cm) of snow and paralyze the East Coast. The National Weather Service lifted its blizzard warning for New York City, downgrading it to a winter storm warning, but cautioned that snow could fall off and on until midnight. "We thought we were going to get something a lot bigger," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told CNN.
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek economist and outspoken bailout critic wrote in a blog post Tuesday that he will be sworn in as finance minister in the country's new left-wing government.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 You should seek after love, and you should truly want to have the spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. | 1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. |
2 I will explain why. Those who have the gift of speaking in different languagesn are not speaking to people; they are speaking to God. No one understands them; they are speaking secret things through the Spirit. | 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. |
3 But those who prophesy are speaking to people to give them strength, encouragement, and comfort. | 3 But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. |
4 The ones who speak in different languages are helping only themselves, but those who prophesy are helping the whole church. | 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. |
5 I wish all of you had the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages, but more, I wish you would prophesy. Those who prophesy are greater than those who can only speak in different languages -- unless someone is there who can explain what is said so that the whole church can be helped. | 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified. |
6 Brothers and sisters, will it help you if I come to you speaking in different languages? No! It will help you only if I bring you a new truth or some new knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching. | 6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? |
7 It is the same as with lifeless things that make sounds -- like a flute or a harp. If they do not make clear musical notes, you will not know what is being played. | 7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? |
8 And in a war, if the trumpet does not give a clear sound, who will prepare for battle? | 8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? |
9 It is the same with you. Unless you speak clearly with your tongue, no one can understand what you are saying. You will be talking into the air! | 9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. |
10 It may be true that there are all kinds of sounds in the world, and none is without meaning. | 10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. |
11 But unless I understand the meaning of what someone says to me, I will be a foreigner to him, and he will be a foreigner to me. | 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. |
12 It is the same with you. Since you want spiritual gifts very much, seek most of all to have the gifts that help the church grow stronger. | 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church. |
13 The one who has the gift of speaking in a different language should pray for the gift to interpret what is spoken. | 13 For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. |
14 If I pray in a different language, my spirit is praying, but my mind does nothing. | 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. |
15 So what should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. | 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. |
16 If you praise God with your spirit, those persons there without understanding cannot say amenn to your prayer of thanks, because they do not know what you are saying. | 16 If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? |
17 You may be thanking God in a good way, but the other person is not helped. | 17 You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified. |
18 I thank God that I speak in different kinds of languages more than all of you. | 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. |
19 But in the church meetings I would rather speak five words I understand in order to teach others than thousands of words in a different language. | 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. |
20 Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. In evil things be like babies, but in your thinking you should be like adults. | 20 Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. |
21 It is written in the Scriptures: "With people who use strange words and foreign languages I will speak to these people. But even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord. | 21 In the Law it is written: "Through men of strange tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord. |
22 So the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages is a proof for those who do not believe, not for those who do believe. And prophecy is for people who believe, not for those who do not believe. | 22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. |
23 Suppose the whole church meets together and everyone speaks in different languages. If some people come in who do not understand or do not believe, they will say you are crazy. | 23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? |
24 But suppose everyone is prophesying and some people come in who do not believe or do not understand. If everyone is prophesying, their sin will be shown to them, and they will be judged by all that they hear. | 24 But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, |
25 The secret things in their hearts will be made known. So they will bow down and worship God saying, "Truly, God is with you." | 25 and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!" |
26 So, brothers and sisters, what should you do? When you meet together, one person has a song, and another has a teaching. Another has a new truth from God. Another speaks in a different language, and another person interprets that language. The purpose of all these things should be to help the church grow strong. | 26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. |
27 When you meet together, if anyone speaks in a different language, it should be only two, or not more than three, who speak. They should speak one after the other, and someone else should interpret. | 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two--or at the most three--should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. |
28 But if there is no interpreter, then those who speak in a different language should be quiet in the church meeting. They should speak only to themselves and to God. | 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God. |
29 Only two or three prophets should speak, and the others should judge what they say. | 29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. |
30 If a message from God comes to another person who is sitting, the first speaker should stop. | 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. |
31 You can all prophesy one after the other. In this way all the people can be taught and encouraged. | 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. |
32 The spirits of prophets are under the control of the prophets themselves. | 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. |
33 God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace. As is true in all the churches of God's people, | 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, |
34 women should keep quiet in the church meetings. They are not allowed to speak, but they must yield to this rule as the law says. | 34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. |
35 If they want to learn something, they should ask their own husbands at home. It is shameful for a woman to speak in the church meeting. | 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. |
36 Did God's teaching come from you? Or are you the only ones to whom it has come? | 36 Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? |
37 Those who think they are prophets or spiritual persons should understand that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. | 37 If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. |
38 Those who ignore this will be ignored by God. | 38 If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored. |
39 So my brothers and sisters, you should truly want to prophesy. But do not stop people from using the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages. | 39 Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. |
40 But let everything be done in a right and orderly way. | 40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. |

Here we are going to turn 3 cheap ($4 each at fry's marketplace) LED screw-in lights into a fishtank light/hood combo.
Step 1: Break lamps
Step 2: Design your led layout in Illustrator
Step 3: Mark out sheet metal, drill holes.
mark out your led layout using sharpie and ruler.
drill holes - make sure you measure the led's diameter - not the wider lip part, but the thinner part. that way they will sit nicely in drilled holes and not fall through. my led's measurement was 4mm, or about 0.15" inch which is just over an eighth of an inch.
this is what your drill bit should be. if you don't have one this size, you can do smaller holes like i had to then gouge them out using knife to be perfect size, so when you poke led through it is snug, and won't fall through.
Step 4:
lay dow sheet and after snipping off leds from base circuit bend their connectors 90°.
Those were my very first foray into led light bulbs.
Stupid, mismatched led batches, with no surge protection in the circuit.
If you are VERY careful, it's just a bit of caulking, holding the glass overbulb in place. Wearing heavy gloves, and eye protection, give the glass a gently twisty motion, while rocking back and forth. I only broke 1 out of 4 that i tried this with, but when they break they REALLY break. little shards flying everywhere.
Now, the two piece plastic base can EASILY be pried apart with a flat blade screwdriver. So easily, in fact, that the base pops back together, if/when you finish replacing the single burned out led.
On the other hand, BEAUTIFUL re-use of the product.
The extra space, and the metal mounting should help with heat.
Just make sure to keep a spare set of leds around for when one or two burn out.
One bad led will kill the entire circuit till it is replaced.
(remember when Christmas lights were like that? on bad bulb would kill the string, till it was found and replaced?)
Does that mean they are dimmer than in the original bulb configuration?
Just wondering if the current led batches are bright enough to do the job of ACTUALLY lighting stuff. Like , say, replacing a 4 foot T8 florescent fixture with two of your 3-bulb light hacks?
I know a single bulb was enough for lighting a small stairway at night, and 4 were enough to light up our small bathroom when used in the over-the-sink-tracklighting.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me(to minimize the clogging of your comments section). Or you can start a thread in the forums. Either way, the community is here to help :-)
Using virgin led's, the only thing i can think of that would really be different is... you probably want a new driver circuit.
One tuned to meet the needs of the led's you use.

We were in a room with a King bed that was very spacious with a nice seating area and 2 TVs! Nice size bathroom. Clean and comfortable.
The only minor issue was that they could have used brighter lightbulbs. There were plenty of lamps, but they all had low wattage and the room was dark.
They allowed our dog. There is no alternative in the Danville area, and if you're coming to NYC after a long trip, this is a good place to stop. Rooms were clean.
1. no refrigerators in rooms unless you get one of their few such rooms. 2. ditto microwaves 3. plumbing backs up (we've stayed here twice, both times the same). 4. random stuff doesn't work, like our AC in the last room, It's a pretty enough motel for the price but expect some hassle.
Location & Staff
Bath linen old and poor quality. HVAC unit noisy & in need of updating.
It was located right off the road so it was easy access, especially with bad weather heading my way. It saved me from sleeping in the car !
Everything was really dirty from years of use. The ac/heat is VERY loud and doesn't have a thermometer to tell it when to shut off. I had to literally turn it on/off all night meanwhile freezing and sweating in between.
convenience, surroundings location
wish it had a couple more sports channels (NBCSN) and maybe a couple more others
Convenience, and location
TV channels could've been a little better
Breakfast was better than average and proximity to dining and shopping was good. Hot tub and pool were also inviting. Room decor was nice and bathroom was updated. Staff very accommodation.
11 am check out. Fitness center very small with one treadmill, a few dumbbells and one elliptical. Unfortunately it had no universal machines and was extremely hot.
The breakfast area was well stocked and the attendant was very pleasant.
The bathroom was not lit very well, very low light! No wonder it was not as clean as we expected.
Clean and friendly staff.
Location is great...very close to Knoebels
Pretty run down...exterior needs a sprucing up
Super close to Knoebels Amusement Park (5 miles)
bathroom needs updating
Was disappointed that there was no fresh fruit at breakfast. Also that a non smoking room cost more that a smoking room.
Rooms were comfortable, staff was friendly and pool was well maintained. Good value for the money.
Clean, quiet. Pretty new. The breakfast was great. Hot coffee of various brews available all the time.
There was one towel with a huge hole in it.
Stopper in tub wouldn't set. Water would not drain. Showered in 10' of water. Not nice. Room 332.
Above average breakfast, hot/cold water cooler (for tea), clean, quiet
Coffee maker in room didn't work. Odd smell in room.
Neat and well maintained Room.
Deserted look and very few people at the time of stay.
Seemed to updated. Room was clean.
Need to put some money into the exterior of the hotel.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

has not been a good one. :( Perhaps after working w/ JJ's Jon, FC's Carol and Fuzzy in Hawaii, I have certain expectations that are not being met.
Every time I spoke to Marlee or Ed at Upland... I was made to feel like I'm bothering them. They were short, rude, and accusatory. I have a few named varieties that I'm looking for but they refused to tell me if they have them... they said I must go in to see for myself. Why would I drive over an hour each way if I don't know whether or not they have what I want? They act like they are doing me a favor or something. Contrasting that to my experience at FC's where after answering all my questions Carol even invited me to stop by for a visit if I'm ever around South of Miami. Fuzzy has been sweet as well... calling me every other week to update me with some of the plants I am looking for. But no one compares to JJ's Jon. That guy spent numerous hours talking/showing me his plants. He never rushes me, never made me feel like I'm bothering him, never rude, and always so helpful! Not to mention having awesome plants. I will always be his loyal customer. With that said, I'm taking my business else where. Upland can keep all their plumerias with their uppity attitude! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I bought 2 cuttings from them an I didn't have a bit of trouble. I even called them about my order and spoke to a nice asian man -- although I had a bit of trouble understanding him at times due to his accent, my experience with them was very pleseant an I would buy from them again. Sorry you had a bad experience. |
I also bought 4 cuttings and the Charlotte Ebert from them at the SC Flower show which are all fine. But the few times I called them to check on the plants I am looking for they were very very rude to me. I too had a hard time understanding him as well... but regardless... if you can't take a minute to answer a few questions then you you shouldn't be in business. At their price point they should provide a little service! |
Darn those bad experiences! But don't lose heart. You may be willing to give them another chance later in the future. I'm also having my own issue with another well respected company, one I'm not going to name because I don't want to put a black mark on someones reputation. The newbies to follow may have good experiences. It's like this... I'm the 1 in 100 that had an issue. There must be a reason for it. I'll just chill and get over it, and if they don't come through I am free to go elsewheres. :) So glad you had such a great time at JJ's! |
No-clue, Sorry you had a bad experience -- I've never dealt with them on the phone, only in person. Their nursery is in a tiny space, and many of the plumeria are big (3-5 feet tall on average) and are stacked 5 pots deep in some places, so finding things can be difficult. I'm not making excuses for them, since they should know what they do or do not have (and they shouldn't be rude!), but it seems like the kind of place where you'd have an easier time if you were there in person. When I've come in with a list, they usually help with the first 3 or so, and then start helping other customers, so I do a lot of exploring -- pulling plants out, climbing around others, etc. (I posted some pictures on this forum last summer from my first visit there- you can kind of see what I mean) What plumes are you looking for? I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see them anywhere locally. |
Mona, I too didn't want to post about it either... but I feel like I have been patient enough and given them plenty of opportunities to be nice, but the last phone call today left a bad taste in my mouth. I can understand catching them at a bad time, but rude every single time I called? No excuse in my book. It's ok... someone just posted rooted cuttings from BBB which has a lot of what I'm looking for. So I lost one source and gained another. No big deal. Daogirl, I'm looking for the all elusive ET Lemon Drop. Let me know if you ran across one. Thanks! |

Hey NC, Sorry you had issue with Upland Nursery and Malee. Speaking for myself and buying plumies since the late 70's I've meet all kinds of sellers, some have great customer service personalities aka slopping sugar/sharing the aloha, while others are controlling and crusty (Waving at Marilynn of Marilynn's Garden). I know with Malee she can be very sweet or a bit more work to deal with. Malee actually gave Sonia aka Lola's mom and I a tour of her private HUGE plumie forest that is not open to the public. Her private collection is behind a gated section on her lot and is so large you can not go by foot, golf cart only. Basically what I am saying is that every seller has their good and bad days, or could just be chemistry. Basically I rate the plumie sellers I buy from based on who has the healthiest, and the best most beautiful specimens, how ethical they are (dealing with issues like disease or returns), lastly their personalities as my plants hopefully will be forever but my relationship with the seller might be only as good as their inventory of hard to get plumies or exclusives they may carry at the time. So sometimes if you want something badly enough you just have to decide to either wait till you can find what you want or you have to deal with the seller. I know people who personally love and have a great relationship with JL, Marilynn, Andy from Aloha Tropicals and his Thai plumie nursery Rowland, Allen Bunch, etc., but I do not necessarily want to interact with them that much. As for John from JJ's (I do know that personally I really like and get along with Johns wife Christina but have heard some say they will not work with her) and Fuzzy yes they are very nice and personable along with Luc and Carol (waving at Carol), Doug Jones, Irene Jones, Jennifer from MPG, etc.. Cheers and hope you find the plants your looking for... |
No-Clue - I saw that! 9 inch rootball! I have yet to receive a rootball anywhere near that size with any online order. The last few days I have been eyeing BBB's Mermaid's Gem. It's lovely! |
Freak, thanks for that. What you said actually makes perfect sense!! I get it. I agree whole heartedly... that if they offer what I can't find else where then I will eat that humble pie. And I was ready to pull the trigger when Ed implied I was lying. He basically said they pulled the ET Lemond Drop for me last week and I didn't show. So that justifies them being rude to me. I didn't make a commitment to come by. A. Because I didn't know when they would bring the plant from their growing site to the store (remember they wouldn't give me a straight answer!). B. I would not have made a commitment without finding a ride first for I am crippled and cannot drive that far C. Last but not least I was not even in town last when he said I called them and they pulled the plant for me. I was in SF b/c my aunt had a stroke and passed away. I don't like people calling me a liar, and cutting me off when I'm trying to speak. The biggest slap in the face was when I asked him where is that plant now he said they sold it. So if you sold it why guilt trip me?? I don't need that plant enough to get mistreated that way. No plumie is worth someone attacking my integrity. |
Mona, can you believe 9 inches? That's amazing!! I'm happily ordering some now. I will need to get a few more out of the norm just to cheer myself up! Heck it's going to take that JL Metallica to do the job. LOL |
As James said, those of us who have been buying since the last century, have seen the good the bad and the ugly of many of the sellers. Addicts can be quite annoying so I can understand how they get exasperated by us. Many buyers go to the seller and unleash as many questions as this forum. Also many of the sellers have been ripped off or had valuable plants stolen which can bring out the jade. I think over time it gets worse for many of them. No clue are you in southern California? |
Yes I am in So Ca. Tdog. So I should blame you all for wearing all the sellers down? LOL. |

Hey Bill, GLAD to see you on the GW today!!! Hope your feeling well? :) No C, Well if you can find what you want outside of Upland I would. Like you stated earlier most of Uplands Plumies are grafted which I do not really care for. The things you listed on your 2012 list are accessible by other people and sellers. Cheer NC :) |
I emailed them and they told me they don't ship but they weren't rude. BTW, please see my clarification of those 9" root balls. It was 9" from end to end with the roots spread in a 3 gal pot. Each root was about 4" long. But there were dozens of roots. So far I've only gotten a stub of a root or 2 on rooted cuttings. I don't want grafted plants but I understand why people do it. |
Rcantor that sounds really good. I'm going to see if I can get a few things to go w/ my JL Metallica first. Then I will order the rest from BBB. So thanks for sharing that. Freak, I'm in OC... so thanks for the offer! I'm very moved! How sweet of you, sheesh! Can you imagine two Plumies addicts going together? How scary!! But I will have to pass on Upland since I too do not care for the grafted plants myself. As for JJ's, I have family nearby so we go there at least once a month which is enough for me to do serious damage! LOL Again thank you for the offer. :) |
Freak - I wouldn't mind a ride to JJ's or Malee's. Pleeease? :) |
Mona where are you? And you Freak? Are we all very close?? That would be so fun to go together! We would probably turn JJ's upside down! LOL... Are you guys going to JJ's Open House this year? I think it's the first Sat in July. Maybe I will get to meet you guys! |
I'm in North Carolina. Do you think that's too far to get a lift? |
LOL... no just hop on a plane and Freak and I will pick you up! :) |
Set a date and let's all go. Hope we don't fight over the plants. Party @ JJ's! |
No need to fight JJ's got plenty for all of us! But if you're talking about Vera Cruz Rose then I might have to hit you with a stick! |

One of the great benefits of unrelieved mediocrity is that you don't have to feel guilty for patting yourself on the back on those rare occasions when you manage to exceed your usual limitations. And so, without further ado, I hereby announce that the Automobile Magazine team of John Norris, Jeremy Barnes and moi (ably assisted by lone mechanic Franz Heinrich and pit poppies Emily Young and Deborah Sandford) won Cal Club's inaugural SeeYa Six-Hour Enduro at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Not won our class, mind you. Won it outright. Yeah, baby, we're talking first overall here. (Cue blaring electric guitar.) We are the champions! We are the champions! Of the world!
Okay, so it wasn't Le Mans. It wasn't even Nelson Ledges. There were only 30 entries, and only 24 cars took the green flag. We were lapped early in the race by a trio of extremely fast wings-and-slicks single-seaters that broke later on. The Honda CRX that looked to be our principal competition started having mechanical trouble on the first lap, if you can believe it. Two other cars were a bit quicker than us, depending on the driver, but the drivers were uneven, and they had to pit far more often than we did. We ended up beating a Spec Miata by five or six laps. Like I said, it wasn't the Cobra-Ferrari wars. But winning a raceany racefeels pretty damn good. And we got the same trophy a more deserving team would have received. (Two of them, actually, because we also won our class.)
One of the best treats about winning the race was that it was so unexpected. To be honest, after my session Friday night, I had been dreading the enduro. Around 11 p.m., I'd happened to see Marc Jones, Mark Kalemkiarian and Frank Honsowetz pull into the truck stop across the street from the lovely Super 8 where I prefer to stay when I'm racing at Buttonwillow. (Second floor, interior courtyardthat's the hot setup.) It wasn't too hard to spot the van Frank was renting for the occasion: It was the one riding on its rear axle thanks to 900 pounds of fuel and God only knows how many more pounds of assorted race gear. (Frank goes to races loaded for bear. The only reason he wasn't traveling with his motorhome and enclosed trailer was because they were up north with his Nasport GT-3 car, which he was racing at Portland next weekend.)
Anyway, while they gassed up, I told them my tale of woe. "So," Frank asked me, "are you going to do a night stint in the race?"
"Well," I said, "I wanted to find out what it was like to drive at night. But the way I figure it, I just found out. So as far as I'm concerned, somebody else can have the honors tomorrow."
When I broached the subject with John and Jeremy Saturday morningthey both rolled in shortly before 10 a.m.they had no problem with my position. John had done a lot of endurance racing and was perfectly comfortable driving at night. Jeremy had tested a car at night but never raced after dark, and he was eager for the opportunity. So the initial thinking was that I would do the first stint, from 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. (We figured that an hour and forty-five mintues was as far as we could safely go on a tank full of gas.) Jeremy would do the second stint, which would take him from dusk into dark. John would do the third stint. Unfortunately, depending on how much time we spent in the pits, that would leave us, say, another 30 minutes to go, and John wouldn't be permitted to do a double-stint because the rules limited drivers to a maxmimum shift of two hours. That would mean Jeremy would have to jump into the car at the 11th hour, as it were. But that didn't seem to make much sense, considering his lack of experience. So we decided to let John start, have me run secondhopefully finishing before it got too darkthen put Jeremy in the car and let John bring it on home.
First, though, we had to get the carand the driversup to speed. We didn't expect this to take long. John had raced a 240 for several years, which was convenient, and Jeremy had testedthough he'd never racedour car a few years ago, and he figured it was a lot easier to drive than his RX-7. Still, we wanted to bed two sets of front pads for the race, the idea being that we'd start with new brakes all the way around and replace the fronts halfway through. John did the honors for the first pair of pads. The protocol is simple: Two easy laps to gently bring the brakes up to temperature. Two hard laps to get all the nasty stuff to bleed out of the pads. Then one lap without touching the brakes to let them cool down thoroughly. Back in the paddock, Fritz took the opportunity to practice changing pads. With John's hotrod aluminum jack and battery-powered Snap-On impact wrench, it took about two minutes. Then Jeremy went out and bed the second set of pads.
After lunch, we laid out our gear in the pits next to Team Kalmo, whose 300ZX figured to be a little bit slower than our car. This was more than a matter of socializing. We were also sharing Frank's fuel riga bladder suspended from spindly legs. This entailed pumping gas from the 30-gallon drums Frank had hauled up from L.A. into the bladder. Fuel could then be dispensed from a standard gas pump. This promised to be a lot quicker and safer than dumping in fuel from the standard five-gallon gas cans.
I decided to take the car for the first half of the 30-minute qualifying session, then turn it over to John, who was going to start the race. Getting my first laps in daylight, I felt completely hamfisted, and I turned three piss-poor laps in the 2:11 range before the window net mysteriously came loosethe first time I can ever remember that happening. I pulled into the pits to get it fixed, and decided to let John get into the car. His second flying lap was a high 2:08, which he figured was good enough for government work, so he pulled off the track rather than needlessly use up the car.
John started sixth andafter holding off Kalmo, who made a great startmoved up to fifth when the CRX fell back. A few laps later, he passed a tube-frame RX-7 to move into fourth behind the three Sports Racers. From the slick timing-and-scoring information that was being pulled from transponders and displayed real-time on a TV monitor inside Buttonwillow's central building, we could see that he was turning 10s and 11s like clockwork. Everything was going far better than we could have imagined. But even so, I kept wishing I were in the car instead of pacing around in the pits, counting the minutes before my stint began.
Endurance racing is an oxymoron, if you think about it. The standard approach to an endurorunning steadily rather than quickly, with the emphasis on not making mistakesis antithetical to the whole point of racing. And there's something vaguely offputting about watching somebody else drive your car, sort of like seeing an ex-girlfriend going out with somebody else. John was doing a great job, but I was getting antsy. I was also a little bit amped up, which discouraged me from eatinga big mistake, as it turned out.
Kalmo came in after 90 minutes, and his team botched their pit stop by spilling some fuel, which carried a stop-and-go penalty. Confusion reigned, and Frank ended up doing TWO stop-and-gos. Of course, that was the least of their problems. Kalmo was sick to his stomach, probably from dehydration. (It was in the neighborhood of 100 degrees.) The gearbox was screwed up. And there was a brake problem. By the time Marc Jones got in the car, all he had was fourth gear, and when he drove down the front straight, he couldn't see Kalmo or Frank over the pit wall. He said later: "So, I've got no gears. I've got no brakes. I've got no crew. And I'm thinking, what the hell am I doing out here?"
John was 2nd when he finally pitted. I strapped in after Franz finished fueling and took off. I hit traffic my first few laps, and I didn't want to take any chances passing people before I was completely up to speed. But once I found some free track, I pushed a little hardera 2:11, a 2:10 and finally a low 2:09, before throttling back slightly. At this pace, the car felt as stable as an ocean liner. I'd been running with junky tires all year, forcing me to try so hard that I often had several moments each lap. Today, with fresh, well-cared-for rubber, I had only one moment my entire stintwhen the power steering suddenly cut out, catching me by surprise, when I was dialing in some opposite lock, which caused me to run up on a curb. Otherwise, the stint was a milk run. That's not to say there weren't some small dramas. The power steering started failing after about an hour. This wasn't really a problem, just a bit disconcerting, especially when the steering would suddenly lock in position when the suspension was loaded up. Also, the brake pedal started to droop on those points on the track that came at the end of a long stretches of full throttle. To make it easier to heel and toe, I started pumping up the pedal with my left foot. Last but not least, the race had started about 20 minutes late, which meant that my stint was scheduled to last until close to 9 p.m., by which time it would be almost completely dark. I flipped up my lights after about an hour or so, not to illuminuate the road but so slower traffic would see me coming. (By this time, I'd passed the last remaining Sports Racer, which was dawdling along on two-and-a-half cylinders.) But as it got dark, I realized that I had a serious problem: I didn't know what time it was, which meant I didn't know when I was supposed to come in.
We didn't have any radios, and the idea of ringing up each other on our cell phones seemed a little bit too wacky. Fortunately, our car had a working digital clock, and we planned to use it. But as the light faded, so did the digital read-out, and my night vision was such that I wasn't too confident about my ability to read any pit boards shown as I went past on the front straight.
I seemed to recall that the odometer read something like 140 miles when I got in the car, which meant I should go until I reached at least 280. But what if I were wrong? I certainly didn't want to run out of fuel, especially when we were leading the race. (At this point, my mantra was DON'T SCREW UP!) Our car was equipped with a hot lap timer that flashed the lap number and lap time each time I passed the start-finish line. I tried to calculate how many 2:10 laps would equal one hour and forty-five minutes. But by now, my brain wasn't working too well, and when I devoted too much concentration to multiplication and division, I started missing apexes and braking points. Also, the light was fading fast, forcing me to start making confidence lifts in the Esses. My lap times slowed to 2:12. When I hit 40 laps, I figured I ought to start thinking about stopping. I flashed my lights coming past the pits, and two laps later, I came in.
As I trundled down pit lane, I was confused by all the people who were waving their arms. (I belatedly realized they were Cal Club workers alerting everybody that a car was coming.) I stopped before reaching my pit, sat there in a daze for a few second, before realizing that I hadn't gone far enough. Finally, I saw John waving me in. I undid my belts as I pulled in, lowered the window net and stumbled out of the car as soon as I stopped the car. (Franz couldn't begin refueling until I'd emerged from the cockpit.) The moment my legs touched the ground, my calf muscles spasmed and I almost fell. I was supposed to go around to the back of the car to man the fire extinguisher while Franz filled the tank, but it was all I could do to climb over the pit wall, where I slumped, hyperventilating, like a boxer who'd just gone twelve grueling rounds. In the car, I'd felt fine. But now, with the adrenaline no longer pumping, I realized that I was dangerously dehydrated. In fact, I've never felt so physically shattered in my life. To be perfectly honest, it took me 24 hours to recover.
I barely had enough energy to tell John that the power steering was fucked. We didn't want to waste time doing any systems checks, so John topped off the fluid. He also changed left-side tires, but decided that the brakes looked like they could go the distance. So Jeremy took off and got his baptism of fire at night. Later, he confided that the first few laps were terrifying. But after that, he said, he had a blast, and before too long, he was also turning 10s and 11s. (It was funny how, without even discussing it, we'd all settled on almost exactly the same race pace.) By this point, nobody was even close to us, and people kept coming over to offer premature congratulations. (Jeremy's girlfriend Debbie, who does Jaguar P.R. at North American F1 races, started referring to me as the "team principal." I kind of liked the ring of that.)
There were two final glitches, neither of them major. Jeremy had to make an extra stop for fuel because we didn't get enough gas in the tank the first time around. Then we had to make sure that he didn't stay out for more than two hours, which could have gotten us disqualified. We called him in with about forty-five minutes to go, and John did the final stint. By the time he finally got the checkered flag, I think we were all more exhausted than elated.
No, come to think of it, elation exceeded exhaustion.
On Monday, I returned the light bar to Technosquare. When I told Richey that we'd won overall, he looked delightedafter looking completely stunned. (I knew just how he felt.) I told him he should come with us on our next night enduro.
"Tell me when you do Daytona," he said, laughing.
Don't call us, I thought; we'll call you.

Awesome hoody for the price!
Love this hoody! I kind of use it as a jacket i just layer up underneath, with the satin linning in the sleeves it keeps out the breeze and keeps your arms cozy. The sherpa fleece is great too, but the zipper seems kind of low when fully zipped, if you can style a scarf then you won't get the breeze. Great buy for the price!!! btw i bought the heather green one

You didn't say whether this was a crocheted or knitted sweater, which makes a difference in how one googles. So, try this...do a google search with "tulip sweater" +instructions +knit (or crochet, whichever it is). Be sure to use the " " and the +, which is the trick to doing a successful google search. |
