Match Preview
Sherwood aiming for Villa win Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood is targeting a final-day win over Aston Villa to ensure the club will be playing Europa League football next season. Sherwood's side currently sit sixth in the Barclays Premier League table and go into their last game of the campaign knowing that a point against Villa is enough to keep Manchester United behind them and secure European qualification. With constant speculation over his future, it remains unclear if Sherwood would be the man to lead Tottenham into next season. But the 45-year-old knows that qualifying for the Europa League is something that is of vast importance to a club like Spurs. "It is a huge game," he said. "We want to finish with maximum points if possible, we know they are going to be tough, they carry a threat on the counter attack and are better away form home than they have been at home. "I will be guaranteeing to our fans that I will be selecting a team that want to play for Tottenham in this last game and want to be playing in the Europa League next season. "I think that is hugely important for a club like Tottenham. Everyone aspires to be in the Champions League but we know how difficult it is to actually achieve that. "We've got a big squad of players and when they're all fit...they need a games programme and I think the Europa League gives them opportunities to play games, keep themselves mentally prepared and physically ready." Kyle Walker will not feature for Spurs. The England defender will still be hoping to go to the World Cup but a pelvic injury means he is again unavailable to Sherwood this weekend. Winger Andros Townsend (ankle) remains sidelined along with club-record signing Erik Lamela (back) while Jan Vertonghen (ankle) and Etienne Capoue (foot) will hope to be involved after returning to training. Meanwhile, Paul Lambert has no idea if he will still be Aston Villa manager next season. Speculation surrounds both his future and that of the club in general, with American owner Randy Lerner rumoured to be considering selling up. Lambert describes Villa's survival in the Barclays Premier League this season as his greatest managerial achievement following another difficult campaign in his second year at the helm. Last weekend's victory over Hull secured their top flight place and allowed thoughts to start turning towards next season and beyond. However, Lambert's most common answer at Friday's press conference ahead of the trip to Tottenham was "I don't know" as members of the media grilled him on the future. Asked whether he thinks he will still be at Villa Park next season, Lambert said: "I don't know. I'll say it once and once only: I don't know what the statement from the chairman is going to say. "I don't know when it's coming out. I know as much as you do at the minute. But I'll respect whatever Randy's got to say. I don't have one problem. "My job is to keep this club up and protect everybody else and that's what I've done. "I don't know when it's going to come out or what's going to be said. I'll just see what happens." He added: "It's not something Randy and I talk about every minute of every day. We don't do anything like that. "I know there's going to be a statement but that's it. I'm a football manager, not a business person. But it's his club and he'll do what he thinks is right for this club." Lambert believes his reputation has been enhanced during his two years at Villa regardless of what Lerner decides over the future of both the manager and the club in general. "Number one, I fully intend to be here next season. "Number two, my directive was to keep the team in the Premier League. "Number three, it's been the hardest season ever but it's never plain sailing in football management and that's why I say it's the greatest thing I've achieved. "I won promotions at Norwich from League One to the Premier League but I still class this as the best thing I've done." Villa hope striker Gabriel Agbonlahor will be fit for the game. The striker missed the midweek 4-0 defeat at Manchester City with a knee injury but Lambert hopes he will be recovered in time for the trip to north London. Winger Marc Albrighton (groin) is a doubt while the likes of Jores Okore, Christian Benteke and Libor Kozak are still absent with long-term injuries.

Chrysler Crossfire
intrepidspirit Posts: 662our Crossfire, I found a nail in the tread of one of the front tires. I took it to Tire Pros (about 2 minutes away) to remove and repair. I also asked them to check the other tires to make sure there were no other nails.
They removed the nail that had punctured the tire and repaired it. They also informed me that there were 2 other nails in the back tires that had not punctured.
I am wondering if someone hates the Crossfire (we haven't had this problem with our 300M's, so it seems to be aimed at the product) or if the tires have some strange magnetism. Or maybe I got the car in that condition (it was a demo with 5,800 miles).
On the bright side, Tire Pros did not charge me for the repair/inspection... -
kusheen Posts: 28Intrepidspirit...be VERY thankful you did not have to replace any tires. Right now, the Pilot Sport S2's (NOT the same as the Pilot Sports) generally are not in stock at dealers, and likely won't be stocked because of their limited use. Dealers will need to order.
Cheapest I've seen is Tire Rack...$218 shipped each for the fronts, mid $300's each for the rears.
Also, if I were you I'd change out that repaired tire. The tires lose their speed rating if repaired.
Re the cupholders...yup, dumb place for a cup holder, really is NO good place for one in the car. If the cupholder position is on your A list of features you need in a car, then pass this one by.
Of course, for such things as performance, handling, style, build quality, warranty,it's pretty darned nice. But really crappy cupholder. -
sphinx99 Posts: 776Jealousy is hardly the word. Top Gear (and the reviewer in particular) has reviewed seemingly more top-end world cars than anyone else. That guy owns a F355, SL55, etc. And the Crossfire will get compared (on that show) to the best cars in the world... not in the U.S. Therefore I can see why some would have issues with the Crossfire. Here, dealers still are trying to play the dealer markup game. A dealer-marked up Crossfire versus a near-invoice Mazda RX-8? It's not even a contest.

bigmike5 Posts: 960Well, I see that the DC initial pricing on the SRT-6 is probably going to put me in the mindframe of getting an 04 Vette instead. $46K for the coupe is just a little much. An 04 Vette, towards end-of-production-year closeout with discounts should run about $40K -since Kerbeck has 'em listed that way today. Even an 05, if you could get one, would probably be close to $46K. $10K just to up the hp to 330, and to add a permanent spoiler?? Gulp. [And I actually liked the powered spoiler better than the way the permanent one looks.]
fastdriver Posts: 2,273bigmike5-
I did a double gulp when I saw those prices. Collectors will probably buy them and cross their fingers that they will appreciate like the Vettes.
Speaking of Vettes, do you know anything about Kerbeck? HOW does he manage to get all those Corvettes? He has more NEW Corvettes than ALL the Chevy dealers in the USA put together? Does he have GM connections?
fastdriver -
kusheen Posts: 28While Vettes hold their value reasonably well (but not as well as a benz or M3 BMW), I'm pretty sure their values don't appreciate, and are prone to depreciation of value like any other car. There are too many of them, and they all look alike. A great performance car, but certainly not a collectible.
Re the Crossfire pricing. I agree, way too high, Chrysler STILL doesn't get it. Heck, for $40K the Lotus Elise can be had, which frankly is a superior sports car to the Vette or Porsche Boxster.
As a current Xfire owner, my bigger concern is the lower priced Xfire. Doesn't make any difference that the heated seats and a few other gadgets will be gone, visually they will be identical to the current car, and performance wise the same.
Current owners took a bullet for Chrysler.
I've got a deposit on an Elise, should be here in December/early 2005. Can't wait. Was going to keep the Xfire until then, but I think I'm going to try to unload it now, take my losses, before the watered down one comes out and drives my residual down even further. -
bigmike5 Posts: 960Kerbeck is the #1 Vette dealer in the US according to letters from GM that are shown on their web site. I don't know anything about them other than they are always the first ad in the section of Autoweek dealing with cars for sale, their pitch ladies look really foxy, and their advertised prices are lower than anything else I have seen, and they are only a short one-way flight away from where I live. Course I would use their ads to see what my local guy could do first on a deal, since all the servicing would be done locally. I would like to see the gussied up Crossfire SRT-6 though before jumping.
intrepidspirit Posts: 662I took my Crossfire in to the 5* dealer last Thursday for some items that needed attention. I got some all too familiar Chrysler 5* dealer service. The car was brought in at noon and promised for 5 P.M. on Friday. There were 8 items to address as follows:
1. Compound or glue stain on crossbar behind the seats.
2. Water-stained headliner.
3. Telescoping steering wheel does not lock solidly in place.
4. No licence plate holder or holes on front of vehicle (manditory in California).
5. Hesitation on accelerator (compared to my 300M).
6. Passenger door does not close properly -- sometimes the window gets caught on the rubber seal (sometimes the door even closes with a gap --the window being outside the rubber seal).
7. The radio display can't be read in the daytime.
8. The exterior decorative vent on the driver's side has partially come loose from vehicle.
I got the free rental car from Thrifty (on the premises). It was a Neon. On the way home, I noticed the gas guage read just under half-full. I called Thrifty when I got home and they said not to worry about it -- just bring it back as is.
When I went back to get the Crossfire on Friday evening, I returned the rental. They checked it out and then advised me that I hadn't filled it up. I explained what I was told and they said that they needed to put some gas in the car and charge me @ $3/gallon. I advised them I would do it, and since I had driven less than 40 miles in total, I put only $3 of gas in it, which brought it up close to where I remember the gauge was when I got the car. Sheesh!
I picked up the car and found the results of the service were (in same order as above):
1. Stain removed.
2. Stain not removed.
3. Part on order.
4. On order.
5. Got the dreaded "could not duplicate concern". Sound familiar, fastdriver?
6. Door is aligned properly -- could be cabin pressure causing problem. (LOL)
7. New radio on order.
8. New vent on order.
Bottom line -- 1 1/2 working days -- 1 stain removed. But as usual, they were very cordial (I think this constitutes about 99% of the 5* training).
I'm just glad I didn't have a drifting/pulling problem with the steering, because after the Thrifty experience and the lack of anything done on the car, I simply could not have tolerated another "could not duplicate problem -- could be due to the crown in the road..." -
fastdriver Posts: 2,273intrepidspirit-
"5. Got the dreaded "could not duplicate concern". Sound familiar, fastdriver?"
I'm telling you- they MUST learn that at Chrysler "training" school!!! Doesn't seem to matter if it's "5-STAR" or not! ;-))
At least you were treated well. That has to count for something. What, I don't know. You have to look on the bright side.
How did you get a water stained headliner?
fastdriver -
fastdriver Posts: 2,273Could this give Crossfire some competition?
fastdriver -
intrepidspirit Posts: 662"Got the dreaded "could not duplicate concern". Sound familiar, fastdriver?"
I thought that might bring back fond memories of your service experiences...LOL!
The headliner stain is behind the driver's seat. actually there are several 3 to 4 inch by 1/4 inch stains. This appears to be close enough to the top of the hatch opening to have come from a leak there. I got a service record on the car (it was a demo) and it included a seal/stripping replacement, but it didn't say where. It may have been replaced because of water leaks.
Then again it could have been the passenger door seal/stripping replacement since the door window catches on the stripping, preventing the door from closing properly. Oh, but I forgot, the closing problem was due to cabin pressure... -
bigmike5 Posts: 960Intrepidspirit-Don't discount the possibility of the mechanic wearing a grungy oil or grease covered hat, and having it rub on the headliner while working on the car or sitting in the seat. I've seen that happen, but at least they usually have an industrial strength de-greaser that gets it out.

Mmm...I THOUGHT he was well-respected. I see his name a lot of places. I'll have to pay more attention to who writes these articles. Sounds like the newer Crossfires are getting nearer in price to the Mercedes! Don't think that will fly.
BTW- Your poor Merritt Parkway has been inundated with traffic due to I-95 being closed BOTH directions in Bridgeport as a result of a tanker vs car accident. The Northbound lane is now open, but the southbound lane had to be completely knocked down and replaced with a temp bridge until it can be rebuilt which was JUST completed before the heat warped the iron girders.
No speeding in this area right now.

bigmike5 Posts: 960One of my car rags--maybe M/T this month had stats on yearly sales of the various sportscars. I was surprised to see that the Crossfire figure was in the 2,000's. Mazda RX-8 for comparison was over 8,000. I have seen some RX-8 but not one Crossfire on the road. No wonder they have started discounting them $5K. My dealer still has the red automatic I drove last June!! Maybe it will go on Premier Night, the 22nd of April. Maybe...just maybe. lol
nissan350z Posts: 81I know what you mean by that I saw the same magazine although I have seen some Crossfires not as many as RX-8, or 350Z yet though. I thought that Chrysler wanted to sell 30K unit on the Crossfire? It doesn't look like it will happen yet unless that add more rebates or that cheaper model comes out in 2005. As for the discounts Crossfire was over price to start out with so no surprise there.
mikemajesty Posts: 99im thinking of getting a crossfire. i am pretty much set on it as i have just sold my car. i test drove it and loved it, but the real reason i am getting it is because i got an amazing deal from my dealer here in l.a. they are giving me 17k miles a year, 39 months, and with 3 down i will be paying 299 a month. does that sound like a good deal to you guys?

It's just gotten out of hand! I click on a blog I used to enjoy and it takes so long to load that by the time it does, I only look at the pictures and could care less what they have to say! Sorry! It's such a pain to me. Looking at blogs is what I tend to do first thing in the morning. It's like reading the paper to some people, catching up on the news, only it's catching up on some really cool houses of people I don't even know. I used to enjoy it, but of late I find that I am so tired of waiting for the blog to load because there are so many Ads that have to load. It's a time waster to me! I know these wonderful bloggers are getting paid to have these ads....but, come on, really! What happened to having fun and being yourself in your own blog? Seriously, alot of these wonderful bloggers are now being dictated by the Ads that "pay them" to post something that they may not have even wanted to post to begin with, just to get the almighty $$$! I'm BORED with those blogs! Yes I look, but I am a much better Blog READER when I click on a blog that loads immediately! It's like a breathe of fresh air to me!
Is it not enough that our magazines are loaded to death with Ads, that we now have to deal with our favorite blogs being full of them too?? Just saying!
P.S. All thoughts are of my own, I am not being paid in any way for my opinions!
As always Have a Delightful Day and Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

Flea Market or Home Goods??....
Good Morning!
Fall is finally here....
I absolutely love everything Fall!
I am slowly getting my Home decorated for the season.
This was a very busy summer for us. My FIL,
as some of you may know fractured his C1 vertebrae in
the beginning of June, so I spent most of the summer caring
for him. He lives 1 1/2 hrs from us, so I wasn't Home much!
But, we did make all but one of the flea markets not too
far from us this summer. The last one was the end of September.
I've admired the olive buckets I've seen on a few blogs
and had never seen them around that I can remember anyway.
But, on one particular visit to the flea market I was the
lucky girl to snatch this up and put it in my basket. I had learned
at the first flea that we attended and I passed on something I
REALLY wanted and thought I would come back and
get it later.....well, it wasn't there and so I learned
to grab and get when you see something.
I had more women stop me that day commenting on
my purchase and what great condition it was in. It was
so funny, some didn't know what it was, but found it
very interesting!
It's in perfect condition with just the right amount of rust.
I love it right behind our sofa and when the light shines
through at night it's just perfect!
Then a few weeks later I had a rare chance to stop by
Home Goods. Low and behold I strolled down an aisle
of Fall decor....my favorite, and spotted this beauty!
At first I just picked it up and though how odd it
was that Home Goods would have an olive bucket.
I wasn't sure that it was "real".....
so I sat it back down, started to walk away and
then decided I'm just going to put that in my cart
and walk around the store for a bit. I sent a picture of it
to my husbands cell and he called me and said
"Get it!"
So it came Home with me!
I love that man!
When I got it Home and really took a good look
at it, it still had cobwebs and some sort of dead
grassy looking stuff stuck on the inside. My husband
is the one that pointed out the patch job that was done
on this side. It is way rusty, but it's perfect in every way!
I even had a couple of women stop me while
shopping in Home Goods that day and they
said, "What a COOL wire basket!"
Ha, ha....
They asked if I was going to put it outside and
fill it with pumpkins?
I said, "Oh No this will not be going outside,
it might get ruined!"
Besides, I had the perfect pumpkin that I also
picked up at the flea market just waiting!
I have more fun flea market finds yet to share so I hope
you stop again! If you had a chance to stop by yesterday
I did a quick post to share that our daughter Amanda
started a blog. She purchased her first home and
we've been helping her get it ready for her big move.
It's going to be so cute!
Here's a link to her blog if you'd like to follow her progress.
I'm curious, what have you found at Home Goods or some other
store that was the real deal?
As always Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you have a delightful Fall day!

Nature's Candy....
There's a farm stand just down the road from our little town...
It's always an exciting time when the tomatoes start coming in...
They're a little late this year because of the weather we've been told,
but there were plenty of these in yellow and red...
I picked up this pretty milk glass dish at Goodwill the other day...
Perfect for holding Nature's Candy!
Have a delightful day!

My New Ironstone....
Is it a Chamber Pot
or a
Slop Jar?
Hmm, I would rather think Slop Jar, to me it just
sounds better don't you think? It makes me think of
Victorian woman putting their vegetable peels in this
beautiful ironstone jar with a shiny black handle and
a matching lid and then having there husband or son
take it out to the farm animals to add to their feed.
But, that is not what a slop jar was used for.....
they were actually used, according to the Merriam~Webster dictionary
: a large pail used as a chamber pot or to receive waste water
from a washbowl or the contents of chamber pots
Not very kitchen friendly sounding really, although
that is where I have decided to use mine.
I wasn't real sure at first where I would use it and for what.
But, it is in great shape, although minus the lid. But that's okay with me!
The lady in the shop where I found it suggested, with a giggle, using it
for kitchen utensils. I have to admit I wasn't thinking in those terms.
But, when I got it Home and washed it out really well, I tried it out
and I liked it!
And so did my husband, he's the Chef so that meant alot!
It has a really pretty design.....
and Great curves.....
not to mention this great perfectly worn black handle!
I'm in Love!
I got it for a Great price too!
I've seen similar for well over $100 with chips and cracks.
This has one!
I've been finding some really great ironstone pieces that I
will be showing you soon. I also found this ironstone soap dish.
It looked really bad, but I took a magic eraser sponge to it
and it cleaned up very nice. So I decided it would make a
great spoon rest!
Nothing fancy, but I love it!
What do you think of my use of my new Slop Jar?
What would you use it for?
As always Thanks for stopping by!

My Gnome Garden
Wow, I didn't realize I had been gone that long!
Well I really wasn't "gone", I did visit on occasion. I've enjoyed
how everyone is getting their gardens, decks and porches all prettied
for summer. I've been working on that myself. That's what I enjoy most
about the season. So this year I had to redo my fairy garden because
my plants didn't survive the extremely cold winter we had.
I guess I really shouldn't have called it a fairy garden, I didn't really have any
fairies in it. But for some reason this year these cute little gnomes caught my
eye and well.....I just couldn't help myself.
Let's just say he had me at Hello Welcome!
And then I found the orange polka dot solar light. I had the little birdie....
But I couldn't resist the sunflower garden pavers and the little mushroom
house and snail....you do see him right?
This was what it looked like mid summer last year.
Of course the birdie had to have a little house to perch by. And what do you
think of the mini cigar plant? Well, it was so cute and had the right pop
of red amongst all the green of the hens and chicks, chamomile and English Thyme.
I think the little garden stones added just the right amount of texture and
brightened things up a bit too!
And you'll also notice my other little homie gnomie sitting on the garden bench chillaxin!
My youngest asked me If I didn't think I was just a bit too old for a fairy garden!
I think not!
How about you....do you think I'm too old or do you have one too?
I'd love to know!
As always Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
Today I am sitting in the critical care unit with my FIL who is 83 yrs old.
He fell down a flight of stairs last night and fractured his C1 vertebrae. So far they
tell us he will not need surgery, but will have to be in a neck brace for the next 3
months. So hard to see his pain! So please say a prayer for a speedy recovery.
It could have been so much worse! Bless you all and stop by again soon!

Pottery Barn vs. Old Barn....
I've been doing alot of Thrifting lately and we even went to our
first Flea Market this past Sunday....
Don't you just love Spring!
Just the other day I had to drop our daughter off at the mall to meet up with a few friends. So I did a bit of shopping my self and found this bird cage drink dispenser at Pottery Barn. I always love it when I find something on sale there. There were 2 of these minus the actual drink dispenser. But that didn't matter to me I knew I would find some way to use it.
As one piece it was a bit to tall to be my center piece, so I had to take it apart. But that worked out just fine I think. It fits perfectly over my glass candle holder, so I just added a bit of faux greenery at the base and wah lah, done!
The base of the dispenser is perfect to hold my cloche with my little Spring plate and faux eggs left from my Easter decor.
It's still Spring afterall, so it works!
So now on to the Old Barn....
Not too far from us going down a main road we've seen this sign for a Barn Sale. We decided to find this Barn and see what it was all about. After going down a few back roads and dirt roads we finally found it.
A retired couple in their 60's took their out buildings and have filled them with Estate sale finds and stuff. I guess he actually buys what doesn't sell at Estate sales. We really had to do some "pickin" but I found a few goodies that I couldn't walk away from. These plates were some of what I found that day!
Can you imagine my excitement?
Can you guess what I paid for them?
There are 2 of each plate....
so 8 plates total!
I'm not sure which is my favorite. They are all in perfect condition. Have you guessed what I might have paid? Well, I was a bit shocked and felt a bit bad, when I looked them up on Google when we got Home and discovered that they sell individually between $17.99 & $19.99 a plate. I got all 8 of them for $5.00!!
I know.....Can you believe it? I almost feel like I should go back and give them more money....almost!
Is it possible that people that do this for a living don't look up what stuff are worth? I mean that's what we do when we find something that we think is worth something. My husband and I have found quite a few things lately that you would not believe what we paid compared to what they're actually worth!
Good for us I guess!
I just thought I would share these beautiful pink impatiens. I have had them for 2 years now. I bring them in at the end of summer and keep them moist thru out the winter. Of course they are dormant, but come Spring they fill with beautiful blooms right in front of the dining room window. They remind me of my MIL, she always planted impatiens in her flower pots around her yard. I am amazed I have had these annuals last this long. Just thought I would share!
I'm so glad you stopped by today. I'd love to hear what you think of my recent finds. And I'd love to hear what great deals you've gotten lately! As always, Have a delightful day!

Training and Development Quality Standards web site
June of 2000, I charged a Professional Development Policy Advisory Committee
with the task of establishing guidelines to assist Local Educational Agencies (LEAs)
in planning high quality professional development.
Last summer, the Committee completed its work and submitted the Final
Report on July 25, 2002. Central
to that work was the establishment of Maine's
Training and Development Quality Standards.
asked the Committee, as part of its work, to prepare a special publication
highlighting the Quality Standards and describing how they look in action.
Today, the Department of Education is launching a new web site entitled Achieving
Results. This dynamic-linked
document explores each of the five Quality Standards and examples of benchmarks
to measure progress toward achieving the Standards. You can view the publication
online or download a copy suitable for reproduction at the Department web site www.maine.gov/education/achievingresults
The publication will also be available
shortly in a print version.
work is of special importance because the Training and Development Standards
established by the Committee were recently enacted in rule to serve as the
foundation for professional development planning, an integral part of the LEA
Comprehensive Education Plan. Section 8.08 of Chapter 125 reads:
school board shall establish a System for Training and Development of all
personnel that meets the following standards.
The System is based on continuous improvement of each individual, the
school, and of the school administrative unit;
The System focuses on practices that raise the academic performance of
students on the content standards of the system of Learning Results and enhance
student development;
The System is aligned with other goals in the Comprehensive Education
Plan and integrates individual development, building goals, and school
administrative unit goals;
The System is driven by information from local, state, and national
resources for planning, implementation, and evaluation; and
The System defines relevant roles for all stakeholders.
Quality Standards are based on the conviction that the purpose of training and
development is to improve student achievement. They represent the belief that
all adults who work with children in Maine's public schools are learners too,
and deserve access to learning opportunities based on research and proven
My hope is that the Quality Standards and the examples provided of the Standards in Action will guide educators and communities across Maine - and all of us in Augusta - as we strive to develop, implement, and evaluate strategies of professional training and development. Our children's future depends on the quality of our effort.

Commissioner of Education

I bought a hibiscus from walmart on a whim cause it was marked down so much. I put it in a huge pot on my deck. It is really gorgeous. What should I do this fall for it? Does it need to be cut back or anything? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by amazindirt z7 ETN (My Page) on Fri, Jul 4, 08 at 7:44
First, check to see whether it's a hardy hibiscus or a tropical one. It is probably tropical -- I don't think I've ever seen hardy hibiscus at Walmart. If it is tropical, you'll need to take it inside -- it won't survive outside over the winter. When you do take it in, cut it back and give it as much humidity as you can while it's inside. Many or most of the leaves will fall off when you take it in, but don't panic. I got three tropical hibiscus through the winter inside this past year. :-) |
Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure it is a tropical. I tossed the tag by accident. The hardy ones are the ones with the huge flowers, right? Do you think it would be ok in the garage? I am cramped for space indoors. Thanks for your help! |
- Posted by maemae0312 7 TN Lakeland/Memphi (email@example.com) on Sat, Jul 5, 08 at 2:27
I have never tried to over winter a hibiscus in the garage but I do have numerous tropical plants that I over winter in the garage. The key is not to over water them, and put them in the warmest part of your garage And (this is the hard part) train your family not to leave the door up for any reason!!!!! I told mine all winter long they were going to be personally resposible for global warming if they killed my plants. Mary |
- Posted by amazindirt z7 ETN (My Page) on Sat, Jul 5, 08 at 7:55
Hi again - The hardy hibiscus don't *always* have huge flowers, but the huge ones are most common. If yours blooms in any color outside of the white/pink/red/purple range (yellow, orange, apricot, etc.) then it's definitely tropical. The bush structure is also different, with the tropical ones making more of a true bush while the hardy ones are more like large stalks coming out of the ground. I dunno about the garage. You'll just have to try it and see. Good luck! |
Yep, its tropical. It is apricot colored and a true large bush. I am just going to try and clear out a space in my office for it. I get attached to my flowers once I care for them all summer~ don't want to risk the garage. thanks again! |
I think I read somewhere once that tropical hibiscus has glossier/darker leaves. Anyway, yes, it can come inside for the winter and should do very well! It might drop leaves, as mentioned, but it leafs right back out in spring. I did this several times, and I am not well-known for coddling house plants :) |
- Posted by amazindirt z7 ETN (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 08 at 13:29
I hadn't thought about the glossy leaves, but now that you mention it I can see that you're right. Good thought! |

(FILES) This May 15, 2012 file photo shows employees as they work at the Facebook main campus in Menlo Park, California. Americans see email and the Internet as the most important tools for productivity at work, and still prefer landlines over cellphones for the office, a study showed December 30, 2014. The Pew Research Center found 61 percent of those surveyed cited email as "very important" for their jobs and 54 percent said the same for the Internet. The figures were even higher for office-based workers. More than one in three surveyed said the landline phone was an important tool for work, compared with 24 percent for a mobile or smartphone. And despite the rise of social networks like Facebook and Twitter, just four percent in the survey said these platforms were important for the workplace. "Email is to the digital age what stone-sharpening tools were in the prehistoric age," said Lee Rainie, director of Internet, science, and technology research at the Pew Center.

Are you ready for some football?
When Democrats talk about middle class Americans, they almost inevitably use them as a cudgel to attack the rich.
I have to start out by saying there isnt anything wrong with it, but the Super Bowl could be better.
Heres a good idea: Have your messiah present a plan to Congress that balances the budget, right now, not after the passage of time and some mythical increase in GDP created by voodoo tax increases on everyone.

Starbucks Becomes Caffeine-Fueled IBM With Teavana Buy
As with the acquisitions of Evolution Fresh and La Boulange, Starbucks president Jeff Hansberry said Teavana is expected to help the coffee giant add to a growth strategy centered on bringing added products to its stores, while targeting new avenues for distributing of the company's products in supermarkets and large retailer outlets.
Hansberry added, in a press release, that Teavana and Starbucks's two previous acquisitions are examples of the company's "Blueprint for Growth."
"Evolution Fresh, La Boulange and now Teavana demonstrate how Starbucks will add brands that strengthen our core offering and create a rich ecosystem of experiences with shared values, mutual efficiencies and complementary characteristics," said Hansberry, in a statement.
Earlier in November, TheStreet reported that investors should focus on Starbucks growth prospects, even after the retailer reported surprisingly strong third quarter earnings and an unexpectedly large increase to its quarterly dividend.
In the wake of Starbucks previous acquisitions of Evolution Fresh and La Boulange - both occurring within the past 12 months -- TheStreet's also compared Schultz's growth and acqusition strategy to the one employed by IT services and software giant IBM (IBM - Get Report). To be seen is whether acquisitions like Teavana live up to such expectations. As Starbucks heads into 2013, recent acquisitions will play a front and center role in whether CEO Howard Schultz can prove to skeptical investors that he's uncovered a predictable way to grow profits at the coffee chain, after previous efforts at store expansion backfired and led to his departure from the company roughly a decade ago. Here's another take on Starbucks in a peak coffee era. For more on other restaurant stocks reporting in November, see why McDonalds is no longer overcooked. Also see why Chipotle Mexican Grill may be on a market value meal for other restaurants-based stock ideas.

Show me where the money at, show me where the kush is

Here Kurupt is asking where is his drug money and the weed he gave the dealer. Sometimes kingpins have people deal for them and he is coming to collect. This leads into the next line if they don't have his shit.

Not as good as the original SNES game but still a must have GBA title.
I wrote a review for the original SNES LoZ:LTTP a long time ago and I described it as the best game of all time for any system...evar. This title for the GBA is a very good port but tries to add things that just should n... Read Full Review

A solid Improvement over previous titles in the series

A good combination of RPG elements into a Beat-em-up game.
This was a fun game but it has absolutely no replay value. It is a very long game for the genre at right around 20 hours but you don't get the chance to keep leveling your characters after you beat the game. Once you fin... Read Full Review

Fun game, but it might as well be a continuation of GTA3
Very fun game worth picking up as a greatest hits game. This game does not live up to the hype. The graphics, sound, and game play are the same as the original PS2 game GTA3. While GTA3 looked great, GTA:SA doesn't do mu... Read Full Review
