I don't know where to post this, but they're in my house, so I guess I'll ask here.;;;
I live in WA where palm trees only grow where landscapers put them, and there still are not many around, and not all the kinds you see in warmer places. I know NOTHING about them. But some time last winter I was in some mall parking lot and there were these sort of short (as in short for a tree, but still taller than me) fat palm trees with small black seeds hanging from them like bunches of little grapes. I took some home and planted them in a pot on a bright windowsill and kept the soil moist, and a couple of them are now starting to come up! I am super excited, and these are one of the first things I've ever really grown from seed, so I really don't want to kill them. Should I keep the soil moist like I've been doing? Or now that they've sprouted, should I let it get dry between watering? Will they rot if I keep it damp? Will they die if I let them dry out? |
Follow-Up Postings:
PS I don't have a place to plant them outside so I think they will be staying houseplants (for the foreseeable future anyway) so that's how I'm treating them, and that's the state in which I want to know how to care for them. (ffff, weird sentence, sorry.) I have never had indoor trees so I reeaally don't know what I'm doing, on several levels. I don't want to put them on the porch until they are bigger, either. I think the tallest one is only about an inch. |

Hi Squidy. Too bad you don't know the type of palm. There are desert and tropical palms. Many have swollen trunks. Is the pot in or surrounded with plastic and is seed/seedling container on a heating pad? Since you've been successful germinating, it'd probably be best watering like you've been...the soil shouldn't be soggy or completely dry out. Keep moderately moist. Well-draining, but not to the point soil dries right after watering. If your seeds are on a heating pad, soil will dry faster. A pro using heat is speedier germination. Do you remember anything about the mother palm other than height? For example, were leaves firm or soft/flexible? Well, congrats, squidy...Toni |

A Lincoln fast-food worker who was bound by a robber and left in a freezer has been found by customers.
Police say the armed man entered the Subway on North 27th Street a little after 9 a.m. Monday and demanded money.
The employee gave him some cash. He then taped her wrists together and put her in the freezer.
Police say customers found her there, cold but uninjured, about an hour later.

Zak! Designs
Behind every kitchen company is a beach wedding and puka shell necklaces. That's not actually true, but it does describe the beginnings of Zak! Designs, and we think such a fun origin story befits the whimsical brand. In the 1970s, the Zak! Designs founder moved to Hawaii to sell puka shell necklaces after seeing them at his cousin's wedding. By 1988, his company was big and successful enough to catch the eye of Disney, which led to rights deals involving some of Disney's popular animated characters. In fact, Zak! Designs was instrumental in promoting "The Little Mermaid," cementing its status as a fun, family-oriented brand. Today, you can select from bakeware, cookware, entertaining products and servingware as well as products designed especially for kids. Whether your tyke is into the action of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or has jumped onto bandwagons such as "Frozen" and Disney Fairies, Zak! Designs has cups, plates and accessories that entice little diners to the table. Meet grown-up needs in your kitchen and dining room too with functional offerings that are guaranteed to make you smile as you cook or eat. Popular Styles: Bold colors and unique shapes characterize the Zak! Designs brand, and popular tableware and cooking tools are no exception. Mixing bowls that feature confetti designs and colanders shaped like leafy-greens (but in brighter hues) bring whimsy to food prep processes in your kitchen.

(And so I made the Ark out of shittim wood, or acacia wood, and when I had cut the two stone tablets, like the first tablets, I went up the mountain, with the tablets in my hands.) | 3 So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. |

I find this product so overhyped. Then again, products that claim to exfoliate and actually show balled up white stuff usually get raves. Those balled up stuff are not your dead skin. The product will do that no matter where you rub it. Try rubbing a bit of glue between your fingers and it will do the same.
The skin does feel smoother after using this product, because it leaves a film behind. This product is so pricey for what it does, and the packaging is totally lousy. The pump is so hard, and I always have to pull the pump back up whenever I try to pump the product out.
I'm really not impressed with this product, which is disappointing considering all the raves. I'd stick with my AHA to exfoliate, thanks very much.
More reviews by Strawberryshortcake21
I really like this exfoliator. I am a bit funny with exfoliators, I don't really like the scrub types because I find they are too harsh for my skin. This gel was perfect.
I have dry skin normally around my nose, cheeks and temples. I need to be quite careful with exfoliators because if I over do it, even by slightly, my cheeks can feel quite raw. I don't have sensitive skin nor do I exfoliate vigorously or anything, it is just that my cheeks appear to be extra sensitive.
After I have removed my make up, I pat dry my skin and take a pump and a half of the Cure Aqua Gel. I place some on my cheeks, forehead and nose and then start massaging this in circular motions on my face working it into my whole face. Little blobs of white balls appear which is the dead dry skin. Afterwards I rinse my face and it feels sooooooo smooth!!
I only use this once a week. In the winter and when my skin is dry/flakey due to the air con/cold wearer/central heating.. I may up this to twice a week.
I'm so glad I got the sample before buying the huge bottle...
The stuff does what it claims, it exfoliates well and you can see all the dead skin coming off, which is satisfying.
But it broke me out soooo badly. It was the only change in my regime, and now I have pimples all over my face. And it's kinda pricey too. :
I wish I could love this product, but it just didn't work for me.

I generally never use scrubs because I hate rubbing anything remotely scratchy on my face. So when I heard how this was gel based, I had to try it out! It works very well, a little too well for my skin. The product is really easy to use, and you can see how the flaky results vary from day to day depending how your skin is feeling. However sometimes I found it scrubbed layers of healthy skin off and left very dry patches that I could not treat with cream, something i've never experienced before. I even had a small amount of skin peeling that was attached to healthy skin once, which I ended up having to painfully break off! And the end results are like I have with every scrub - no difference, if anything worse from irritation, just feels nicer to touch a little bit. I think this product might help somebody out there, but my skin definitely prefers using salicylic acid for exfoliation.
I'm surprised to see this is a big hit on MUA! This is a basic "gommage"-type exfoliator that they sell in Japan, so I think it's hilarious that it's selling for $60 on Amazon when it costs $25 there (which is even comparatively expensive for this kind of product). As with other exfoliators like this, you rub this on your clean face and it balls up and takes all the flakies with it (the balls that appear as you rub this into your skin are not 100% flakies, the product would do this no matter where you rubbed it). Anyway, as with everyone else I loooove how my skin feels after using this. So soft and smooth, and it always looks one tone brighter too. So, this is a great product. But, having used this and many other similar exfoliators while I was in Japan, I have to say that there are equally as good products out there for less. I live in NYC and there's a big Chinese supermarket called Kam Man on Canal St. where they carry lots of Japanese skincare and they have several kinds of gommage of for about $15 each. That being said, the ingredients in this particular exfoliator are very gentle so if your skin is sensitive maybe this is worth the extra money (just try to buy it somewhere that isn't charging you over 100% more for it!)

This is the most amazing exfoliator around! It actually does what an exfoliator should do, and you see the results right away! I love how renewed my skin feels after using this. It's also fun to see all my dead skin cells form into tiny white balls. The price may be steep, but it's soooo worth it. Plus since I exfoliate just once a week, I've only actually used a third of the bottle, and with the way I'm going, I feel like this is going to last me one full year.
I love this stuff! After seeing bubz beauty use it, i just had to get it. Its quite expensive on ebay. Around $40-$50. I used about 3-4 pumps and massage it gently on my face in circles, you will feel/ see dead skin. I rinse off and do another 3-4 pumps to get more dead skin off. I do this about once a week. It keeps my skin smooth and i just love seeing the dead skin come off in little white balls. Ive used it for over a year and it is definitely a staple for me! Just wish it wasnt soooo expensive online....

What is Cure? Natural Aqua Gel is a gentle, water-based exfoliant made from natural plant extracts of aloe vera, gingko and rosemary. It effectively sloughs off dead skin cells without irritating or harming skin, making it suitable even for the most sensitive skin types. After cleansing face, apply gel on face and neck. Gently massage gel into skin and see the dead skin cells immediately peel off into tiny white balls. Rinse well with water and then pat skin dry.
This product is my life saver! Sometimes when I apply make-up, I sometimes get dry patches on my cheeks, nose and face areas, so after washing my face with a cleanser, I would use Cure to exfoliate the dead skin cells or dry areas. It literally exfoliates my skin, leaving it smooth, clear and soft. I would advise to not use this on an open wound or irritated skin.
Another thing about this product is if used, it can help face cleansers and/or moisturizers to take and its full benefit and dissolve into skin better.
-Product does what it says
-One drop of the product does the job
-Makes skin smooth
-Removes dry patches
-Kinda pricey but worth it.

This product is nothing short of a miracle. I have been searching for a product that will help to soften my skin and have been trying different exfoliators but have always gotten the same results or not much at all. I heard about Cure and decided to order sample packs (you can get free samples from Beauty Carousel or buy them on eBay) before I buy the full product. After one use of the trial packet, I'm definitely sold and will be buying the full product ($34 USD from the official website with shipping included). It isn't as expensive as the products that you'd find at beauty stores here since you are getting a huge bottle of product for $34, whereas you could get a mere few ounces for that price. I'm sure that this bottle will last a very long time.
After rubbing it into my skin for less than 30 seconds (and seeing the white bits that accumulate) and rinsing, my skin immediately felt incredibly baby soft, smooth, silky, and clean. I really mean it too. I also didn't know that my skin could ever feel that soft and great. If you think that you have soft and smooth skin now, just try Cure once and you'll notice the pure softness and smoothness of your skin and it'll soon become a part of your skin regimen.
I now know why this is considered to be Japan's best kept beauty secret. It is a wonderful product and exactly what every woman needs for silky smooth skin.
I have been pleasantly surprised as to how much this product helps my skin. I use the Clarisonic cleanser brush daily and thought I didn't need another exfoliator. Well, this product removes all the dead skin that my Clarisonic missed and my face feels soooooo soft afterwards. I note that if I don't use the Clarisonic and use Cure, I get a TON of dead skin balls vs a much smaller amount when using Cure along with the Clarisonic brush. It takes my face about 45 seconds of light massage before the dead skin cells start balling up. I've used grain-type of exfoliators previously and didn't like how abrasive they felt and occasionally, my skin would end up red and blotchy.
I notice that the morning after I use Cure, my skin seems brighter than usual, probably because my naked skin can absorb my serums and moisturizers a little better. I only use Cure once to twice a week.
Even though I gave this 5 lippies, there is one small annoying thing that I find with Cure. After I use Cure and wash off the skin balls, there is a weird texture/film left on my face (my husband also feels this film). I have to wash it off with my Cetaphil cleanser. I wonder if this is why some people have broken out from using this product.
I will definitely buy this again

It sounds too good to be true—housesitting for three months, by herself, on a small island off the coast of Maine. Associate professor Cynthia Blake couldn't ask for a better place to finish her dissertation. No phone. No television. No distractions. At least, that's what she thinks—until she meets Jonathan Roaman. The tall, tanned, impossibly tempting owner of the island, Jonathan is nothing like the "old miser" she expected.… (more)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

due to the whole me not being gay thing. Anyway -
I'm trying to decide if I should get a new handgun or 2 or a big ass
assault rifle. On the semi-auto rifle front, I'm somewhat covered with
the M1 Garand, although it has a fixed mag that only holds 8 rounds and
has no clean way to mount optics. On the handgun front, I'm barely
covered with a Ruger P85-Mk2, unarguably a low end pistol. It's bulky
for a 9mm (looks like a friggin .45), so it does not conceal well. It
has a terrible trigger with one of the longest pulls ever. It is
reasonably accurate however, and its in really good condition.
My problem is this. I know that getting a couple of compact handguns in
9mm or .380 would be more practical. I could even get the two conceal
pieces and a canon (USP in .45?) for what a good semi-auto rifle is
gonna cost. But I'm thinking 2009 might be the year the Dems try to
resurrect the AWB, and they could definitely be successful. Something
like a FAL (which is what I really want) would be directly threatened.
So I'm thinking maybe I should go that route before I get shut out entirely.
I'd really like to hear your thoughts on this. For simplicity's sake,
lets just say the budget is $2k.

On the first Sunday after the Carolina Panthers' best season in years, wide receiver Steve Smith caught questions, not footballs, as Elevation Church Pastor Steven Furtick quizzed him on everything from his Christian faith to competing on the field to being a husband and father.
Appearing onstage together at Elevation's Blakeney location and on jumbo screens at the church's other campuses, Furtick, 33, and Smith, 34, turned their Q-and-A format during the 9:30 a.m. service into a sermon about the moral pluses and minuses of being "Passionate People."
Smith and Furtick also appeared together, again at Blakeney, on Saturday at 5 p.m. and on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.
Smith, who attends the fast-growing evangelical church with his wife and children, traced his own passion to his growing-up years in Los Angeles, when he said few people around him ever lifted him up and told him he could be anything he wanted to be.
"So I had to work hard to get that (confidence). It made me a loner," he said at the 9:30 a.m. service. "I couldn't depend on anyone else."
By the time Smith's class at University High School in Los Angeles had its 10th reunion in 2007, though, he was setting records for the Panthers in the NFL. He said his first impulse was to attend the reunion to show off his success, especially to those who had doubted he'd make anything of himself.
"I was hyped. Yeah, I'm going to go back and show some folks … (including) that guy that (once) said 'You're just a short kid,' " he told Furtick and his flock, including the 1,000 people at Blakeney. "And then my wife checked me: 'Are you going with the right motives?' And so I had to really be honest with myself. And I didn't go because … the reason I was going was not to reconnect with friends or people. I was going to boast."
Emotions spill over
Since he started with the Panthers in 2001, Smith, 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, has made headlines – good and bad ones – because of his passionate ways.
A five-time Pro Bowl choice, Smith's competitive drive on the field has led to the Panthers' No. 89 getting 836 receptions, 67 touchdowns and more than 12,000 yards – stats highlighted in an Elevation video that served as Smith's introduction Sunday.
But in 2008, Smith was suspended for two games for fighting with – and breaking the nose of – teammate Ken Lucas. And Smith has been known to verbally tangle with players on rival teams.
Smith told Furtick that his desire to prove himself by accomplishing the task at hand has sometimes kept him from stopping to appreciate the relationships and people in his life.
As for on the field, Smith said his job is to be tough and give his all: "Obviously, we're not out there exchanging cookie recipes. It's a high-impact, intense mental fight and game."
Furtick joked that, during the games, he sometimes tries to read Smith's lips. "And it looks like you're saying, 'May the Lord bless you and keep you.' "
"Sometimes I'm saying that," Smith joked back.
Smith acknowledged that "at times, you just get caught in the moment. You're just so focused on taking that. Football is such an intense game. A lot of people will say, 'Oh, it's just ball.' For them, for you, it's ball. But for me, it's how I feed my family. And now that I'm 34 years old, for the longest time it's been my identity; it's been my value."
Struggles in life
But Smith said he's learned there's a price for working ever harder to try to stay on top, even as newer players emerge and look to take over that spot.
"Next thing you know," he said, "it's 13, 14 years later, and you still haven't enjoyed the beautiful wife, the wonderful kids, and the friends you've got to meet because you're too busy chasing something that's uncatchable."
But both Smith and his wife, Angie, who joined them onstage, said God has changed the Panthers' wide receiver as a person. After some early years of struggle, Angie Smith said their marriage is good. And, she added, Smith is at peace.
"Now he has peace that only comes from God," she said. "He's a patient husband and father."
Smith told Furtick that on game days, he attends Elevation's worship service at Spirit Square in uptown Charlotte.
While much of the interview covered serious spiritual topics, Smith and Furtick sometimes acted like a comedy team as the pastor passed the player a quick succession of questions.
Smith responded that he's more into The Jackson 5 than the Beatles, prefers power to speed and considers himself an introvert, an "extreme" one.
Furtick: "Sausage or bacon?"
Smith: "Turkey sausage."
Furtick: "Oh, have you ever tried deer sausage before? Deer sausage is so delicious. There's a guy at the church. He gave me some deer sausage. Have you tried it?"
Smith: "Um, absolutely not."
Furtick: "It's awesome."
Smith: "I bet it is. … None of the people I've grown up with eat deer sausage."
Furtick: "Are you trying to say deer sausage is a white people thing?"
Smith: "I didn't use those words. But yes."

No hummer sitings here yet :( Feeders are up and i have a zillion other birds incl 3 male orioles but hummers are slow. |
Follow-Up Postings:
They're out there, Mantor. They're so tiny and green they're invisible unless they're moving. All the pros said if the feeders are up they will come, so hope you'll get some soon. |
Mantor, try watching your feeders in the hour before dusk. That's when you're most likely to catch them. |

I feel your pain!!!! It is snowing and blowing as I post this - there are sightings of rufous and calliope hummingbirds in East Glacier, Montana and Fernie, BC so I hope WHENEVER the weather morphs into real spring - they will come!!! The feeders are filled and ready for any brave little birds that care to stop by. |
Snowing in May?! Where in God's name do you live? |

Ha ha!! - southwestern Alberta - we get a lot of crazy weather here because we are so close to the mountains. Today is pretty nice, cool, but things are starting to happen - buds are breaking on the lilacs and just a hint of green on all of the trees. The calliope and rufous hummingbirds have been spotted in Mountain View, the extreme southwest corner of Alberta so I hope they continue on over here. |

Finally got a couple but they seem to have been 'passing thru'. Well at least I know they've come this far. I've had some every year so will just have to be patient til I get some 'stickers'. |
