Adding up the Benefits: Actions that Help Build Prosperity, End Poverty and Combat Climate Change
The ClimateWorks Foundation, in partnership with the World Bank, is pleased to announce the publication of a new report titled "Climate-Smart Development--Adding up the benefits of actions that help build prosperity, end poverty and combat climate change." This analysis builds on research to quantify the economic and social benefits of climate action and highlights scalable development solutions to address the climate issue.
Climate-Smart Development is the result of a collaboration between the ClimateWorks Foundation and the World Bank, and provides a framework to better understand the climate risks and benefits in different pathways to sustainable development. The report's findings show clearly that action on containing climate change can be a boon for economic activity and that development done well can deliver significant climate benefits.

Jim Yong Kim, President, World Bank Group
"The report's findings show clearly that the right policy choices can deliver significant benefits to lives, jobs, crops, energy , and GDP – as well as emissions reductions to combat climate change. The September Climate Summit provides a critical opportunity for world leaders to be on the right side of history, to champion ambitious action that not only cuts carbon pollution, but also delivers jobs and economic opportunity."
Mary Robinson, Special Envoy to the Great Lakes of Central Africa, United Nations; President, Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice; Former President of Ireland; former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
"This joint report by the ClimateWorks Foundation and the World Bank is a timely and informative resource in the efforts to address the devastating effects of climate change on the world¹s most vulnerable citizens. Policy makers and global leaders now have a tool to assess the benefits of addressing climate threats with an eye toward equity and human rights in a way that has not been available in the past. This report will prove invaluable to those who recognize the equal importance of these issues."
Rachel Kyte, Vice President and Special Envoy for Climate Change, World Bank Group
"Governments should take a close look at the evidence in this report. It reinforces the economic case for action over inaction on climate change. The report shows that climate action does not require economic sacrifice or, put differently, good economic stewardship can reap huge climate rewards."
Jamshyd Godrej, Chairman and Managing Director, Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd., India; Board Member of the ClimateWorks Foundation & World Resources Institute; Chairman Emeritus, Aspen Institute India (now known as Ananta Aspen Centre); Chairman & Truste, Ananta Centre; President, World Wide Fund for Nature – India.
"We already know that in order to build a safe, strong, and equitable future, the world should embrace the opportunities of low-carbon development. And yet the reason why it is so excruciatingly hard to make any meaningful progress on the climate agenda is the self-perpetuating myth that increasing prosperity while also safeguarding the planet in a proposition that is too costly to achieve. This analysis by the ClimateWorks Foundation and the World Bank bluntly shatters that erroneous belief. It makes a compelling case for how developed and emerging economies alike can pursue a model of development that can protect our planet's climate while also boosting employment and saving millions of lives. The business, academic and advocacy community as well as politicians and policy-makers around the world should take note."
Prof. Pamela Matson, Dean of the School of Earth Sciences, Richard and Rhoda Goldman Professor in Environmental Studies, and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute, Stanford University; member of the Board of Directors, ClimateWorks Foundation
"Climate science has accumulated, over decades of research, tremendous knowledge about climate change, its causes and impacts, and the risks it carries for people and ecosystems. Only recently, however, has the scientific community begun to develop the knowledge, tools and approaches needed to support decision makers in their response to climate change. This joint work by the ClimateWorks Foundation and the World Bank demonstrates the great value to be gained from analysis of the interactions, trade-offs, and multiple benefits of decisions made to limit and respond to the risks of climate change. It is a wonderful example of useful, timely, action-oriented analysis that helps chart both future research directions and strategic decision making."
Caio Koch-Weser, Chairman, European Climate Foundation; Vice Chairman and Senior Adviser, Deutsche Bank; Former Secretary of State, Federal Ministry of Finance, Germany; Former Managing Director, World Bank.
"Climate change and its multitude of effects ALREADY threaten developing economies and our economic system as a whole. But along with these threats, there are policy and investment opportunities that, if appropriately pursued, can bolster development and support prosperity while safeguarding our climate, natural resources, and food systems. This report, produced as a joint work by the ClimateWorks Foundation and the World Bank, highlights the actions that policy makers, business leaders, and financial institutions around the globe can take to address these equally important issues. Decision makers must take note of the economic and social risks of climate change, and should turn to this report to help shape the conversations that, ultimately, can turn the tide against these negative impacts."
Jeremy Oppenheim, Program Director, New Climate Economy Project, The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate
"This new report from the World Bank and ClimateWorks Foundation paves the way for a new approach to a rigorous analysis of the multiple benefits of climate action and suggests a methodology that moves us from a reductionist, static analysis of mitigation costs only. The work of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate has indicated that world leaders need sound analysis which puts a monetary value on the co-benefits associated with climate action, such as on air quality and health, energy security and the sustainability of natural resources. This report makes a convincing case for how good policy can deliver better economic, social and environmental outcomes. As importantly, the report provides a suite of practical decision-maker tools which show how these variables can transparently analysed and incorporated into economic assessment and modelling. We need to make sure that these tools are available on as user-friendly basis as possible at national, regional and city level."

Suffering from Self-Help Love Fatigue?
By Debi Berndt
Self-help isn't a means to an end result that you can abandon one day when your true love arrives or when you make your first million. If you truly are on the path to higher consciousness, your work is never done as long as you are in your body. Shifting your focus from a helpless case to a brave master of life can bring you greater change and finally drop those ideas that used to limit you in the past.
As I started approaching my personal journey with soft eyes, I felt free to make mistakes and empowered that I was building up a mansion of love instead of fixing a faulty foundation. I didn't see my social status as a way to rate my self-worth any longer and was able to feel better about myself with or without a man.
Through this shift in awareness, the things I desired flowed to me effortlessly because I wasn't waiting for a time in the future when I would be worthy of receiving it. Self-help should really be named self-acceptance because you are already perfect and the challenge of life is to overcome the doubts of your deepest truth.

Drew Barrymore - Drew Barrymore likes to role play
Drew Barrymore and her husband Will Kopelman like to role play, with her dressing up as a chambermaid.
Drew Barrymore and her husband Will Kopelman like to role play.
The couple will often have dates nights at various hotels in Los Angeles where they pretend to be strangers who meet at the bar.
A source told Star magazine: ''They'll get a sitter for their daughter, Olive, and take turns arranging a monthly overnight stay. They'll meet at the bar and pretend to be business travellers. Once Drew dressed up as a chambermaid and Will was a hotel guest.''
Drew has previously spoken about her and Will's nights without their daughter, saying it is important for their relationship that they have time alone.
She said: ''You just have to do it, you just have to squeeze in the occasional date night. For our last date night he took me downtown for ramen noodles. Of course I woke up so swollen the next day from all of the salt that I looked like a puffer fish but it was worth it.''
Although Drew is happily married, she has also previously admitted to having a crush on 'The Dark Knight Rises' star Christian Bale.
She said: ''Christian is so cute, I knew him when he was a kid. But if he walked into the room now I would totally clam up or I might go overboard and embarrass myself.''

Did you know?
The Botshabelo Library on the N8 has a vast collection of valuable Sotho arts and crafts.
Artistic towns of the Free State are scattered near and far, between farmlands that extend all the way to the imposing Maluti mountains. For years now, the Free State has witnessed the migration of creative urbanites towards the interior of the country in search of peace, quiet and the need to reinvent their lives. Artists, poets, musicians, chefs and writers have given some of the smaller Free State towns and villages a defined creative edge.
The Free State's arty villages have no doubt been inspired by the surroundings. This is a province that offers arresting rural landscapes, mind-expanding wide open spaces, and local hospitality that can't be beaten. It is an ancient land that inspired the San to paint their stories in the many caves scattered around the countryside. The Free State also has ties to JRR Tolkien, the 'Boy from Bethulie' (beloved South African actor Patrick Mynhardt), poet and author Antjie Krog, and writer Sir Laurens van Der Post.
Creative towns or "dorps" of the Free State include places like Clarens (home to many artists, studios and art galleries), Verkykerskop, Rosendal, Parys, Smithfield, Zastron and Ficksburg. These are just a few rural hideaways that have been put on the map by the creative set. It's at these villages that you can stop off and buy beautiful Free State art and local craft (many works inspired by the Basotho and Griqua cultures). You will also find antiques, mohair products, authentic crafts and home-made produce.
You can also get to enjoy the magnificent sandstone architecture of the eastern Free State or experience a culinary safari in Clarens or Smithfield. At certain times of the year there are various courses on offer - whether you want to learn to make koeksusters, learn to paint watercolours or find out how to photograph that perfect Free State sunset. Wherever you go in smalltown Free State, inspiration is always at hand.

Lyte, can we get some more statistics? I'm curious on things like average total honor (preferably only across accounts active since honor was implimented, if possible), total honor the highest person currently has, number of total honors given out, number of people with certain badges, anything along these lines would be interesting to see.
@ Lyte Not sure if you saw this or not. Reposting this (again) from the elo boosting thread because it contains an idea for "using" honor. And, well, I'd like to know that somebody has seen it. This is great, but it's a little late, don't you think? The effects of these boosters has introduced a negative effect on many, many players trying to play fair to increase their rank, and now there is less than two weeks to repair the damage they have done. While punishing those responsible is great, has there been any consideration given to leniency for those affected? I'm mostly talking about the Janna skin, and how many people might want it are very likely to not earn it due to a number of factors, not the least of which being having to deal with smurfs who just happen to not be on your side. Some possible options to consider: 1) Extend the deadline for season 2 rewards. (Possibly not feasible, just throwing it out there.) 2) Lower the threshold for the skin from gold to silver I or II. 3) If your top elo + your combined honor points is at least 1500, you get the skin. It would be wonderful if anything along these lines could be considered. Thanks. ~Uiru

Will we be able to have 2 badges, or will it only show the one we got first ?
I do not know what happened to my league of legends. It is like an alien wasteland of strangeness I do not understand. First game today, two people called top. They were about to argue back and forth and then I said 'Well, we're gentlemen, we can sort this out.' Suddenly one said 'Naw, you have it' and then began to adc like a boss. I had a game where I picked soraka mid--no one trolled or was cruel or mean... they just said 'really?' 'Yeah, it's cool.' 'Alright.' We ended up 4v5 that whole game but won anyways. It seems every game is filled with polite people who get along and sincerely want to do what is right for the team. No trolls, no ragers, and everyone was eager to be on the gentleman bandwagon. There was harumphing. Not a single rager all day. What have you done to my League of Legends!?! I do not understand this new land!
DsK BandiT
yeahhh all the honors !!!
I tend to play underplayed champs a lot.That being said I see no difference in people being any easier on me. Although people say fiddlesticks is op when I win if we lose: fiddle is useless,most useless champ in game etc. -sorry if I'm in your game and play fiddle instead of a real support or if I jungle gangplank
F I E R C E system seperate the spanish and english please though
how do u get the ribbon???
now that im a honorable opponent i should say that it means absolutely nothing...still getting a lot of trolls and afkrs i get more insulted and blamed that justin bieber in a metal concert ... i have played like 80 games and still can't get a positive ranked total score. So... this initiatiative didnt save me....Im very dissapointed.
Dr. Lyte, First off, I would like to thank you for such an excellent system. I feel like this is taking a step in the right direction towards making lol a nicer place. I have a suggestion for how to reward high honor players. Add another normal matchmaking queue that adds honor as a factor. People would be matched with people with similar honor value. This way, the higher your honor, the more enjoyable your games should be. Now, for those who do not have such high honor, the old matchmaking would still be in place so they could be matched with all levels of honor and not be stuck with a team full of possible trolls. I feel like I would appreciate a system similar to this. Thoughts?

Before the Industrial Revolution, tuberculosis may sometimes have been regarded as vampirism. When one member of a family died from it, the other members that were infected would lose their health slowly. People believed that this was caused by the original victim draining the life from the other family members.
Furthermore, people who had TB exhibited symptoms similar to what people considered to be vampire traits. People with TB often have symptoms such as red, swollen eyes (which also creates a sensitivity to bright light), pale skin, extremely low body heat, a weak heart and coughing blood, suggesting the idea that the only way for the afflicted to replenish this loss of blood was by sucking blood.[105] Another folk belief told that the affected individual was being forced, nightly, to attend fairy revels, so that the victim wasted away owing to lack of rest; this belief was most common when a strong connection was seen between the fairies and the dead.[106] Similarly, but less commonly, it was attributed to the victims being "hagridden"—being transformed into horses by witches (hags) to travel to their nightly meetings, again resulting in a lack of rest.[106]
TB was romanticized in the nineteenth century. Many people believed TB produced feelings of euphoria referred to as Spes phthisica ("hope of the consumptive"). It was believed that TB sufferers who were artists had bursts of creativity as the disease progressed. It was also believed that TB sufferers acquired a final burst of energy just before they died which made women more beautiful and men more creative.[107] In the early 20th century, some believed TB to be caused by masturbation.[108]

In conjunction with our friends at the Newseum Institute, we are pleased to invite you to help us kick-off Sunshine Week 2014 at the National Freedom of Information Day Celebration on Friday, March 14. You can join live at the Newseum --reserve your seat now by registering online -- or via webcast.
Friday, March 14: National Freedom of Information Day Event, 8:30am-afternoon Location: Newseum Sponsors: OpenTheGovernment.org, the Newseum Institute, American Association of Law Libraries, Association of Research Libraries, Center for Effective Government, Project On Government Oversight, Special Libraries Association, Sunlight Foundation, Sunshine in Government Initiative
In mid-January OpenTheGovernment.org will be hosting a community "town hall" to help groups share their early plans for Sunshine Week 2014 (March 16 - 22). As you likely know, Sunshine Week, which is centered around James Madison's birthday, is a national initiative to promote public understanding of open government issues.
Sunshine Week 2013 will take place March 10th to 16th, throughout Washington, DC, and across the United States. On Friday, March 15th, OpenTheGovernment.org and the First Amendment Center will host a Sunshine Week celebration of National Freedom of Information Day at the Newseum in Washington, DC. Download the agenda HERE.
The sun will shine a little brighter in the halls of two branches of government this Sunshine Week. Below are events the government has scheduled thus far. Be on the lookout for notices of hearings from other committees and agencies, including the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, and visit SunshineWeek.org for a full line-up of events.
We're happy to join with 11 of our partners as co-sponsors of a March 15th Sunshine Week event. An agenda and registration information are available here. But Sunshine Week is a nationwide celebration.
All too often government openness and national security are thought of as opposing national interests and values. In reality, though, openness and security are not always in contention. On Friday, March 16 we hosted two panels of experts to dicuss the practice and policy keeping and telling secrets in America.
Sunshine Week is an initiative of the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press to promote a dialogue about the importance of the public's right to know what its government is doing, and why. The celebration coincides with National Freedom of Information (FOI) Day and James Madison's birthday on March 16. Read More for a listing of DC-Area 2012 Sunshine Week Events.

Purpose or Scope of Collection
. Curricular/Research/Programmatic Needs
The Gull Lake Library collection serves the needs of the research faculty, their postdoctoral and graduate students and technical staff, several research associates and adjunct researchers. Each faculty member maintains an active research program, much of which is funded by the National Science Foundation and other outside funding sources. The station is an LTER site (Long Term Ecological Reserve - NSF). Therefore, visiting scientists make use of the facilities to carry on research for short or longer periods of time. The station offers summer session programs in biological field courses each year. The programs attract 100 graduate and upper level undergraduate students. The courses are taught by resident and visiting faculty. The Gull Lake Library collection serves the needs of these students and their teachers. The collection also serves the general information needs of the other units of the Kellogg Biological Station, ie: the Bird Sanctuary, the Forest, the Dairy/Farm and the Extension unit. The Gull Lake Library is in a modern facility designed to hold approximately 15,000 volumes. The emphasis is on current journals and selected monographs which support the current research interests at the station.
B. History of the Collection/Existing Strengths and Emphases
Summer programs in field biology were taught for many years at the station. The first director of the station, Dr. Walter F. Morofsky, was an entomologist with MSU. The library has a strong historical entomology collection. Early Bird Sanctuary research and teaching led to a good waterfowl collection. Once the year round research station was established in 1965, and the branch library was established, a strong research program in limnology was begun, and that has continued. The collection reflects this emphasis. Currently there are strong research progams in limnology, microbial ecology, plant ecology, agricultural ecology, fish ecology and vertebrate behavioral ecology. Most of the Gull Lake Library collection duplicates the Main Library collection. Some newer journals are located only at Gull Lake Library.

MANCHESTER UNITED'S hopes of landing Toni Kroos this month are fading - despite Pep Guardiola opening the door for the German midfielder to quit Bayern Munich.
Red Devils boss David Moyes is a long-term fan of £25million-rated Kroos and made a personal check on him in action last weekend.

Good morning! I'm new to this forum and I'm excited to be here! I have a large circular flower bed around a large tree that gets mostly filtered shade with some sun for most of the day. I have Caladium bulbs and basic begonias planted. I need another one or two bedding plants that will go along with the begonias.I know begonias have lower water needs so I need plants that will tolerate Houston heat and humidity and not need to be watered frequently so I won't kill the begonias. Last summer I had planted impatiens and the begonias died probably from overwatering. Thanks for any help and everyone have a great day! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you considered carex, tiarrela, huechera and/or hostas, or are you thinking only annuals? |
Hi! Thanks for your input! I really was thinking annuals. I haven't heard of carex or tiarrela. I'll have to look them up! There might be too much sun for Hostas. The area gets about two hours of sun at the end of the day around 4-6 Pm. Houston heat with sun is horrible. That's why my impatiens did so poorly last summer. July and August heat and sun did them in. |

I'm assuming your 'basic begonias' are the ones grown so often (as you plan to) as annuals, but they aren't really. Used to grow them as windowsill plants in a much cooler climate, and they were basically permanent. Here in so. Louisiana, much the same as Houston, they really are very hard to keep--the humidty, the heat, and as you say too much water gets 'em. I would suggest some cane begonias (often called Angel Wings) which thrive in those conditions and would probably be hardy (or you could dig them up and throw them away, if that's what appeals to you.) Last winter I think I had canes in bloom as well as making pretty foliage, tho' when the winters get a little cold they tend to stop blooming and can even freeze back to the ground, but come back up promptly. Do you really prefer to re-plant every year? There are caladiums that would do well there, including new ones that take sun. Even some ferns prefer some sun and I think look good with begonias. Of course they're not annuals either, nor are the little gingers that would look nice, like kaempferias. Lots more, especially if you don't need to re-do it every year. |

Have you considered Sedum varieties? They don't mind hot dry weather and there are so many to choose from. I've got white begonias with a tall sedum growing in the back--they look great together and emerge at the same time in the spring (those are red Salvia between the begonias). I'm not sure what variety of Sedum I have, but it does flower at the end of the summer/early fall with dusty pink clusters---not real impressive, but nice enough. |

Katluvr, Yes, that IS quite a collection or Euphorbia milii! Are they all different? A mix of colours and small and large blooms? By the way, what are the plants to the left of your COTs? Pretty cool plant! Christopher |
Jessica, your Cereus forbesii monstrose is beautiful...hope it stays healthy or, if ill, returns to good health. I love that plant and will have to snatch one up sometime. |

Calibanus hookeri I WANT THIS PLANT! |
Cylindropuntia Subulata and Cerus Peruvianus Monstrose 'Mini' (hope to have right names-if not, correct me please): |
Awesome C-shots everybody! Sorry I'm late to the party. I'll make up for it with a row and a half of thumbnails. Here we have Crassula streyi, Copiapoa haseltoniana, Cheiridopsis excavata, Cerochlamys pachyphylla, assorted Conophytums, Crassula nudicaulis v. herrei, Cotyledon orbiculata var. oblonga 'Macrantha', Cephalophyllum pillansi, Chasmatophyllum musculinum, Carruanthus caninus, Cheiridopsis bruynsii, Cheiridopsis peculiaris, and a caterpillar. Looks pretty succulent doesn't he? |

OooEEe, Baby...lots of fabulous plants to comment on!! Cudos to all using thumbnails now! Way to go! Penny, Gotta love the pink of your 'C'! I had not see this one before (your other post). Christopher, nice 'Hummel's Sunset'! Andrew, I knew someone would post a C. ovata! =) Jessica, where to start? You reminded me of 'C' plants I forgot I had! What a wonderful collection! (I don't think your Cotyledon is the name you have for it. C. 'Tom Thumb' should look a pastel color. Is it? I'm not sure from the pic.) Thanks for the show! :) Keith, I knew we could count on you to show plants with names we hardly ever hear of...great specimens & terrific pots! Love the last shot w/fuzzies & pokies in the pic! Denise, thanks for the name-I had a brain fart. :P More unusual ones! Love the color of the Dyckia...I have a similar one~will show later. Ronda, Wow, what a collection of Crown of Thorns! Thanks for the additional bloom pix! Neat! Colleen, I think you're like me...I can't pick just one photo of each plant! LOL Another one I lost...'Ivory Pagoda'. (I think your Cotyledon is 'Oophylla'.) Rina, nice plants! I think the 1st one is going by Austrocylindropuntia subulata these days. Not so sure the other one is named correctly...but can't say for sure which, or if it is a Cereus. (An FYI, if you're interested: the plant's species name~2nd one~is never capitalized) Chad that is one POKEY plant you have there! :P Ryan, Neat plants! Great to see your plant production, babies & otherwise! Thanks for naming them all-I see one I've wanted a long while: Cheiridopsis peculiaris! Cool caterpillar! (Also some new names in there for me! ) Okay...my plants (names on the pix)...several Crassula...'Campfire' from Feb (end of 2nd row) & Apr of 09: Click for larger view |

- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Sat, Mar 3, 12 at 19:18
Thanks, Christopher! I don't think of it as a competition. I just figure since I have a gazillion pix of my plants, I might as well share my obsessed collection with folks who appreciate them, having the same habit...er, hobby. :D (There are MANY more in the letter 'C'!) |
Oh, thank you for the ID! And, wow, yes, there are so many "C" plants, but it's just a matter of how obsessed you are/how many of them you've actually got! :) Evidently I don't have enough when it comes down to it. If only I were able to plant in the ground, I'd be more equipped to buy like a nutcase. The 'Morgan's Beauty' is stunning, and the Cotyledons have some gorgeous blooms. ... I just want us to get to "H" so everyone's forced to come out of the woodwork with massive amounts of Haw pics. :) |
Ro, Your Cotyledons are magnificent! Also, the C. deceptor... whoa Nelly! I'd be glad to send you a pair of the peculiaris when they're ready. |
Rosemarie, well, surprising to me, Cotyledon 'Happy Young Lady' is acknowledged on Dave's Garden. I'm having a tough time discerning differences between it and Cotyledon 'Oophylla' based on some images. Hrmm. It's certainly not a plant I know anything about. |
Caudex Love to see photos of any of your plants - so beautifully displayed! (Hope I remember correctly - you make the pots? Beautiful...) Rosemary, thank you for correcting, I appreciate - anytime. The Cereus had a name tag when I bought it- I guess that still could be wrong? Thnx. Rina |
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 11:23
Thanks, Ryan! And doubly so...for offer of the C.p.! :P Another fabulous potted specimen, Keith! Colleen, I saw that at DG, but I have never trusted IDs there (like any place these days) ~thy upload whatever they "think" it is, & don't always check for accuracy. If/when it blooms, post some detailed pix & I'll tell you how to measure-we can check against some facts. Yes, Rina, tags are often incorrect. When I get a few minutes, I'll do some research & get back to you. But, we're painting the living room today & I need to remove stuff from the walls. |

Rosemarie: Amazing collection you have there. But it sure helps to live in southern California! katluvr: Nice COT cyathia! I like the ones with the largest blooms the best, the Thai hybrids. Again, what are those plants next to your COTs, cacti? Tom: Cereusly, one nice Cereus you have there! Christopher |
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 13:28
Never too late, Tom!! A couple more I don't see much...your Commiphora! And that Cereus is HUGE! Nice plants! Thanks, Christopher! Yes, being in so. Cal is 90% of it! |

Oh yeah, Christopher...in case katluvr doesn't come back with an answer for you soon...I believe those plants to the left of the COTs are Myrtillocactus geometrizans forma cristata. |
Hi Christopher, a so sorry I ment to answer your Question and then I got side tracked and forgot! The older I get the more I suffer from CRS! Rosemarie is correct those are myrtillocactus geometrizans crests I have several, they are one of my favorite plants and I will be rooting more this summer. Tom beautiful cereus, that is now on my want list, great bonsai plants ! |
There sure are a lot of great Crassulas! Crassula orbicularis and Little Gem encroaching on each other's territory. Penny |

Hi everyone, I'm a newb to this forum in Garden Web and I was passing through, but I just wanted to say that I am enjoying these Alphabet Game threads very much. Your pictures are amazing! I have never seen so many unusual (and beautiful) plants. It's a real pleasure to scroll through these pictures, and by the way I especially love seeing the plants in pots in your home instead of those super pristine catalogs, they just feel more alive and have more personality when they're hanging in front of a window or draping over a door. These threads are a lot of fun, wish I had more interesting plants to share with you too, but thank you for showing us yours! |
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 17:04
Welcome, Astroknot (fun name) & thanks!! I'm wondering...would you like them if they had spider webs all over them & grass & weeds growing up through them?! LOL Ha ha...because I just finished shooting a mess of pix of plants just like that! As far from pristine as you can get! Even though you don't have plants to share...if you're going to hang around the forum, you could go post your mugshot on "The Face Returns, pt2" thread...which would help folks get to know you better! There are many more letters of the alphabet coming!! =D |
Hello Astroknot! You might see a succulent or cactus at a store that you like and buy it. Of course, one plant will lead to another and you know how that goes. It's a nice hobby. Glad you enjoy the photos! |
- Posted by kaktuskris 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 19:21
Thanks Rosemarie and katluvr. Just love the looks of that cactus! Christopher |
Rosemarie -- thanks, I will go introduce myself in "The Face Returns" thread once I get myself organized around here (gotta find a good mug of myself, hah!). And the overgrowth and spiderwebbing happens to my plants all the time, but I do love a good "spring cleaning" now and then where I pick out the weeds and repot and give my plants a nice trim. Pennyhal -- oh, I know all about the "I'll just buy this one plant" because I get sucked in all the time! I'm more of a "growing things from seed" rather than buying ones from a store, but I always, always end up with way more plants than I can take care of. Unfortunately, that usually means that they don't do so well if I get busy:(. I'm in the process of rebuilding my garden, so hopefully I'll be able to share pictures in a few months once they get going. |

Hello! I am new to the forum and am in seek of some expert advice! Let me preface this by saying I am just about clueless when it comes to this stuff. We just bought some land to build a house. I am hoping I can save money by taking care of getting the lawn going myself once building is complete. Right now what is present on the land is what appears to be wild grass which is thick and tall in areas. Other areas appear to be almost normal, although weedy grass. Is something like this usable, or do I have to start from scratch? If I need to start from scratch, what all needs to be done? What steps and in what order? And if possible, using terms a rookie would be able to understand! Thanks in advance for any responses and help! |

Previously on Prison Break: What, y'all can't read the recaps?
No, seriously, here's what happened: Linc got framed for a crime he didn't commit -- whacking the vice president's brother, Steadman. Linc's brother Michael was eventually convinced of Lincoln's innocence, contrived to get himself thrown into prison, then commenced with executing a breakout plan that was suitably complex enough to carry several sweeps episodes, yet effective enough to place the brothers (plus a motley crew of assorted felons) on the outside as of the season one finale. Now that we're all caught up...
We get a shot of Fox River. The miracle of time-lapse photography shows us clouds rushing by a steadily-lightening sky. Then we pull into a tight shot of someone doing the brainteasers in a newspaper -- word scramble, crossword puzzle, etc. Clearly, this is meant to show us his keen and active intellect; I personally have always suspected the brainy smart among us are too smart to waste their time on those little amusements. He asks, "The escapees -- who were they?" His underling replies, "I've got a list. Would you like me to read it to you? My reading is so evocative, it causes expository flashbacks for anyone within earshot." With an offer like that, who is the other, silhouetted dude to say no?
The guy begins: "Michael Scofield. Structural engineer. Five years, armed robbery. Benjamin Miles Franklin --" whom we all know and/or love as C-Note "-- former U.S. Army, eight years for possession of stolen goods. John Abruzzi. Don of the crime family of the same name --" and here is where I have to pause and wonder why on earth someone didn't elect to write the more elegant and equally accurate phrase "Don of an eponymous crime family'? Because, really, how many good excuses are there to use that word on TV? Not enough. And this one just got squandered. Anyway, let's carry on: "Life without parole for conspiracy to commit murder. Charles 'Haywire' Patoshik. Sixty years for second degree murder. Fernando Sucre. Five years for aggravated robbery. David 'Tweener' Apolskis. Five years for grand larceny. Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell. Life for six counts of kidnapping, rape and first degree murder. And Lincoln Burrows. Scheduled to die next week for the murder of President Reynolds' brother." Ladies and gentlemen, your Team Escarpara line-up!
The puzzle-doing dude picks up the exposition fairy's bag of plot-moving dust and sprinkles some over the dialogue, noting that Team Escarpara went over the wall at 8:00 PM last night, reminding us that Linc and Michael are brothers, and concluding that Michael was the mastermind behind the plan. He says, "I want everything they've got on him." Across the nation, thousands of women (and men) snarl, "Take a number. There's a line."

The Answer to Thanatophobia. Fast, Effective and Guaranteed
If you're like most people who live with this fear, you probably wonder if you can ever be rid of it. After 10 years working with people with the most severe phobias, we have yet to come across someone with a case of thanatophobia that couldn't be overcome.
If you are ready to put this behind you once and for all, here's what we offer at CTRN:
- Thanatophobia better or gone in as little as a day
- Absolute anonymity and complete discretion
- We've helped people from 70+ countries vanquish their fear
The Next Step
We offer two programs for thanatophobia. If you're a self-motivated person, our Home Study program will work great for you – or get one-on-one help with the 'VIP' program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
CD's and Workbook $147 or Download for $137
• Download Now and Start Immediately
• Work Privately on Your Own TimeOne-on-One 'VIP' Program
Individually-Tailored Plan with a Highly Qualified Practitioner
• One-on-one Appointments with Board-Certified Practitioner
• Fast, Personalized & Proven System to Get Rid of the Root of the Fear
How This System Works
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. You know that Thanatophobia isn't working for you. The reason the fear continues is because the subconscious has connected it to a wave of dominant negative feelings which occur automatically when you even think of entombment.
Getting rid of those automatic feelings isn't hard – you just need the right techniques for changing your reaction to your personal set of entombment-related triggers. We are here to teach you on how to use the right techniques to vanquish the fear forever. Isn't it time you took control?
- A Board-Certified Practitioner is ready to speak with you. Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
We're going to leave the terms 'treating' and 'curing' to the medical profession. The only person with the authority to change your awareness is you. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
The process educates you with exact steps on how you gain self-confidence, calm and happiness, as well as proven methods to overcome anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt and anxiety. No one should have to go through the continuous suffering you are experiencing. Are you ready to interrupt the cycle of destructive thinking?
Risk Factors & Causes for Thanatophobia
You may have correctly assumed (although there are always exceptions), that your Thanatophobia is triggered from a past experience. Your fear may also seem to come out of no where – with no memory you can think of. The answer if to uncover the deep-down source and replace those negative connections with positive ones. Those at greatest risk include:
• Individuals who are predisposed to feelings of worry and anxiety
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• If you experience adrenal insufficiency
Do you feel as if even one of these represents you? To find out what others are saying about our ability to help, click here.
Or you can <see what the media> is saying.
The Warning Signs You Should be Looking For
You can use our two minute Thanatophobia Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: If this phobia is having a significant negative impact on your life, its time to do something about it.
- Do you become sick at the simple thought of Entombment?
- Does it automatically initiate sticky hands and a mouth that is made of cotton?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do your legs go weak?
These are only a few examples of the things one can feel. If you want to understand more about the symptoms of Thanatophobia, click here.
We help you with the symptoms, as well as find out the basis for them. That's why we're here
Drugs & Medication
The use of drugs and medication for Thanatophobia is not encouraged in our program because they generally mask the problem, rather than tackling the cause. Drugs may produce a short-term improvement by masking symptoms, but they never tackle the core problem of the overwhelming automatic fear response to entombment.
There is no drug specifically for Thanatophobia – and with all the undetermined possible side effects, it is difficult to rationalize taking a prescription as the answer.
The good news is with CTRN you will overcome Thanatophobia, without prescription pills..

Ng: Pending bills on Internet
-A A +AThursday, January 19, 2012
AS I am writing this, the whole Internet is agog over and in almost open revolt against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) bills that will be deliberated on in the US Congress starting next week.
As I write this, the English Wikipedia is not accessible. This venerable encyclopedia, with over three million articles in the English edition alone, is generally regarded as the most comprehensive reference tool anywhere. It chose to go black and went down for 24 hours to protest against Sopa. If you go to Google search, you will note that its usual color has been wiped out. It now tells people not to support the bill.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has over 10 million subscribers to his updates but he seldom posts anything more than once every few months. He also came out with an appeal against Sopa. Yahoo is also opposing it.
What are these bills and why are these so controversial?
These two bills are mainly supported by media companies and are meant to stop illegal downloading of films, song and probably software. Both are targeted at foreign websites that pirate these materials. According to an industry study, 17.5 percent of all bandwidth in the US is taken up by illegal downloads.
These two bills would essentially give US courts the ability to cut off access in the United States to websites that are based overseas that are accused of trading pirated or counterfeit materials. It would also give the government the ability to ask credit card companies, online advertisers and Internet service providers to not do business with these websites. That means that by cutting off their ability to receive credit card payments, advertisements or get American customers, the bill will make it unviable for pirate websites to operate profitably.
Many website companies are worried that they may be targeted for unknowingly hosting pirated materials. After all, if you think about Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia or most social sites, a lot of their traffic comes from user generated material. Many also
fear it would stifle creativity and may have unintended consequences.
While the people who are for the bill say that it will help protect budding artists and recording companies, others are not so sure. They point out that pop icon Justin Bieber got his start on YouTube performing music of other singers. He may not have had the break he got if the copyright was so strict.
Because of the opposition, some lawmakers have reportedly mellowed in their support for the bill. Even the White House has cautioned against proceeding with it.
