10 Reasons For Not Falling in Love
Although you might think of "falling in love" as romantic; we all fall in love many times in life: with a new lover, a new friend, a particularly cooperative co-worker, an appealing movie or TV star, a caring neighbor, siblings, relatives and even pets. Any close relationship involves falling in love at least a little bit, and it's these connections that make life pleasurable.
But, sometimes making connections becomes scary, and you feel the need to protect yourself instead of reaching out with an open heart. I see many clients who have trouble connecting with others, making enjoyable friendships, and have struggles with family members, so they experience relationships of all types as difficult and painful. There are many reasons people hold back and remain closed off. Holding back and resisting caring can cause you to become overcommitted to certain relationships (co-dependent), too clingy in others, or to appear cold and standoffish.
Here are ten reasons you may not feel comfortable being open and available for love:
1. You've been burned before: If you got hurt or disappointed in a prior relationship, you might be reluctant to take another risk.
2. Shyness: Being afraid of meeting new people will hold you back from meeting the person you can fall in love with. No matter how cool you may be in your business dealings, with your friends, or in front of strangers you don't want to date, if you're contemplating meeting people to date, you may stammer, get tongue tied, blush, fidget, look at everything but the person, your heart may race, and you can find yourself breaking out in all kinds of mannerisms that remind you of being a teen.
3. Holding out for Mr/Ms Right: If you reject everyone who seems less than perfect at first glance, you might reject the very one you could fall in love with, if you got to know their finer qualities.
4. Growing up in a dysfunctional family: Growing up with parents who fought a lot or were angry, cold or violent; or with a divorced or single parent who couldn't develop relationships that lasted can leave you without a skill set for finding and making a connection with a healthy person
5. Sex too soon: Having sex right away changes your connection from possible relationship to one-night stand. You can cease to be a person in your date's eyes, and just become a booty call.
6. Body image issues: If you're too self-critical about your body and your look, you may be so self-obsessed that you never even notice when someone else likes you, and you miss your chance.
7. Sexual hang-ups: if you're too focused on sex, or too repressed about it, you'll be reluctant to allow intimacy and love to grow.
8. Violent history: If you were in a previous violent relationship, you'll have PTSD that will stop you from taking another risk.
9. Low self-confidence: If you're not comfortable with yourself, you won't allow others to get close and discover you.
10. Still Grieving: If you haven't recovered from your last relationship, it's too soon to let someone else in. I've seen many people in my office who say they don't want another relationship, or even a pet, because losing the last one hurt too much.

In 2009 Inventor iLogic, we have a button to delete all parameters and rules. But now, in 2013 Inventor iLogic, I only find a button to delete all rules. Does anyone know where is the button to delete all parameters? If this button is not available anymore, could anyone help code to do some function?
Thanks lot.
Does anyone know the answer yet?
Did not know there was such a button in any version.
But there is 5 threads about this already. That is more than likely why no one is jumping in to help.
Do a search you will find them..
Inventor 2009 iLogic has this button. See attached picture.
I would like to know whether Invewntor 2013 iLogic has this button.
Altough using code is a solution, but I really like this kind of button.
Never seen that were is the button to activate the dialog? This might be an add in someone made...
It was part of ilogic in 2009 , you just need (ed) to activate the ilogic utilities interface
The delete ilogic parameters part is not in 2012 or 2013, not sure about other versions
So as I stated it is an add in. I thought so.
Because 2009 did not come with ilogic so this was just included in the ilogic add in..
Ok fair enough..
Personally, i see no need for that functionality
Thanks for everybody's reply.
If so, I believe we need some code the do same function. I really hate this way. I do not want any rules or any user parameters is included in my released part (*.ipt) or assembly (*.iam).
Do a search there was post on this and some code that will do this.

Advanced CHARACTER CreationAdvanced CHARACTER Creation ~ for FictionHero ~ Villain ~ Ally~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are three essential characters in every story. There may be any number of side characters, but in traditional Adventures, and Romances of every stripe (erotic or not,) the main conflict is usually, if not always, a TRIANGLE of complimentary opposites.Translation: You could tell the whole story with ONLY these Three Characters; perhaps not with any real detail, but you could still do the entire basic plotline.THREE Characters?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I'm sure you're familiar with the names Hero & Villain or Antagonist & Protagonist already. Those are pretty darn standard. However, always there, though seldom named is a Third character, the Ally -- the Companion to the Hero or Villain.The Invisible Character: the Ally~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Ally's function is to be the Middle-Man, the nay-sayer that presents an opposing view t
Rants: Mary-sues and how to make a decent OCHi, guys~! Well, I figured that since Spongebob- Proof Of Spandy was so popular that I would do something that's different but also the same. I've written a little mini rant/opinions on an issue that isn't nearly as annoying as it used to be but it's still suck around for a quite a while everywhere I've been (Ex. DevArt, Fanfiction Net, LiveJournal). So, hope you can all enjoy and leave whatever comments you feel necessary. I would love to hear your opinions.First I shall address Mary-Sues. Here's the five bad points of a Mary-Sue: Name Background Social Personality BodyName:LengthThe name is only a slight problem. As in, it's not really one to be too concerned about but it is something that could give a good character a bad image. A name such as 'Melony Butterfly Lily DeeDee Silver Jay Hannah Rose, Melony Rose for short' is not going to give anyone a pretty image of your character and people will get tired just by trying to sa
Okay, OCT crowd. Huddle up.Folks. Folks. Come on now. You are killing me. Do you want to kill me? Is that it? Have I done something to wrong you? I survived evilcolonitis for this?End, you old nut, what in blazes are you going on about? Off your medication again? Nah, I'm talking about the majority of Original Character Tournaments (OCT) here on DA. The fact that there is a glut of such things isn't what's bothering me either.It's what some people are choosing to do with these tournaments that is just driving an icepick into my eye.Here, let me impart this to you. Come closer. Do you want to know the secret to making an awesome artistic tournament? Okay. SIMPLICITY. OH MY GOD. SAY IT WITH ME. SIMPLICITY SIMPLICITY SIMPLICITY.This is what makes an OCT run smoothly. Simplicity. It is all you need to complement an interesting premise that makes people actively want to participate with their characters. You do NOT need a shit ton of gimmicks to make your contest mor
OCT Guide: Hosts, Judges, and CompetitorsContents:-Introduction-Qualities for a Good Host-Qualities for a Good Judge-Qualities for a Good Competitor-General Tips for Running an OCT-General Tips for Competing in an OCTIntroductionBelieve it or not, being a host isn't as great as you might think. Being a judge is no better. Often times people create an OCT without putting forethought into what they're committing to, which is why so many OCTs usually end up abandoned or never getting off the ground.Qualities for a Good Host+While anyone can make a group and start up an OCT, here are a number of things you should consider before doing so.-Time: Being a host requires having lots, and lots of free time. You may think that the biggest aspect of time is spent on judging, but that's far from truth. Hosts are constantly answering questions, making sure things are submitted to correct folders, posting updates, organizing events, planning, and dealing with members. The audition phase is by far the most taxing part of th
How To Make Your Own OC You may have wondered how people come up with Original Characters with a functioning personality in the past. You may have also left your mouth agape when you saw someone have their Original Character react negatively to a spider at one moment, then hug their spider anthro friend in the next. Well, it's really a simple process that requires one thing so rarely used these days; thought. I'm expecting you have a general idea of your character at this point and are seeking to deepen or improve their personality now. If so, you can skip a few steps. Step one: Build a base for your character. All things are built on a strong foundation.Find the center of your character's mind, their motivation in life, and their drive to keep breathing (if that is indeed what they do; not all characters are human).Something simple like "Survival," will more than suffice, as an existence like this will lead to self-conflict of yearnin
Some Thoughts.Tournament ObservationsIve been in art tournaments of the DeviantART sort for a while, observing, competing and administrating ever since July 07. Doesnt sound like much, but I am assured by my friends that this makes me at the very least a Veteran in the Tournament scene. So! With that in mind, Id like to take this opportunity to bitch and whine about problems with tournaments Ive seen, and to praise to the high heavens innovation and whatnot in the various tournies that pop up from time to time. This is mainly to do with Tournament establishment and administration; have a gander if you like.This was streamlined from Deathdog3000s list. Credit to her! And to my plethora of helpers at RoninRubbish and PCBCChat. Contribute and comment, please!Overriding Concepts:Be as Fair as Possible.This should be self-evident. Obviously, your judges in particular should be totally free from bias, and preferably people known in the tournament s
OCT Advice from the PMOCT HostOCT Advice, according to the PMOCT HostI've been asked to provide some thoughts on how to create and manage an OCT. And, as with everything I do, I was unable to keep it simple. So, here are my (incredibly verbose) thoughts on the subject. Some of this summarizes things that I did that worked well for me. Others come from mistakes and lessons learned. Take this with a grain of salt! I am a highly structured and organized person. I write EVERYTHING down, breath spreadsheets and to-do lists, and keep about three or four calendars. What works for me may not work for you! Hopefully these thoughts will give you something to think about, but ya gots ta find your own path! Topics include:CREATING AN OCT- Start with a Mission Statement- Making Rules- Define your Judging Criteria- Balancing Environment with Freedom- C
JudgingI have seen PLENTY of people running around bitching about judging in tournaments.And me, being a pompous jackass, (and because I'm an actualy judge for Ebon Spire and Rydin and Rise), I think I'll bestow upon you, the salivating masses, how I judge entries for tournaments.Plot:This is the big one. The money maker. Obviously in a tournament, you want to show your character beating your opponent, but just having a fight scene is normally not enough, I don't care HOW good your art is. If you have an engaging story that not only pulls us in but makes us want more, then you've done a good job. Keep us on the edge of our seats! Story is what wins a tournament, not art.Characterization:Being sporting is always a plus, and I've seen (firsthand) entries where the person BARELY shows their opponent, and focuses entirely on their own character. Not only that, but they would get their opponent's character's personality completely wrong, as if they didn't care.This is a
A Guide to OCTsOriginal Character Tournaments are all over deviantart and keep growing in popularity, but not everyone knows what they are or how to participate in them. Since they're hosted by individuals and not actually affiliated with the website itself, there are no guides available to help explain how they work. Hopefully, this FAQ will be helpful to anyone looking to get involved in OCTs.What is an OCT?OCTs, or "Original Character Tournaments" are contests held here on deviantart in which you can pit your original characters against other people's characters in a comic-style battle-royale. To put it simply, it's a cross between an art competition and a storytelling contest.OCTs can be hosted on someone's account, or they can have a tournament account of their own. OCTs are usually open to anyone with a deviantart account, although some are invite only. Information about who is eligible to audition will usually be clearly stated s

Stourbridge, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/09/2014 -- A report from the House of Lords published on the 7th April urged retailers to end such promotions as BOGOF (Buy one get one free) in an effort to reduce the estimated 15m tonnes of food wasted in the UK each year. The House of Lords European Union Committee also warned retailers to behave more responsibly with farmers and avoid cancelling orders at the last minute. Retailers fought back, however as the British Retail Consortium said: "The government's own research body has concluded there is no evidence that promotions increase food waste. It is also worth remembering all major retailers are working to challenging government targets to cut food waste. Cutting food waste is a key sustainability issue but we need to focus on evidence based policy rather than being distracted by perception."
Vicky Tomline, Head of Sales at PRIMUS spoke this week about food waste: "One thing is clear – more home baking and cooking can reduce the amount of food waste, help the environment and also help reduce the amount spent on food. Home cooking can often be healthier too and provide important life lessons for children in the home."
Government backed campaigns such as 'Love Food, Hate Waste' have sought to educate the public in the benefits of home cooking – and the proliferation of TV chefs and bakers seems to indicate a growing receptiveness to home cooking.
Vicky added "With a little pre-planning and some thought about what items to cook, households can make a big impact on reducing food waste. A few basic kitchenware items are all that are needed to make a start – it's not necessary to buy expensive all-singing-all-dancing items to begin with. Home cooked food can be stored or frozen for use throughout the week and with a little imagination leftovers also make tasty meals too!"
About PRIMUS
PRIMUS is an online retailer of items for home & garden. Based in the West Midlands, it sources high quality items from well-known brands and up-and-coming names. It aims to become the most trusted name in the Homewares sector – offering an unparalleled range and exceptional service.
Vicky concluded "Retailers certainly have a role to play in reducing food waste but we can all make a contribution to this growing problem."

- CBS 5 AZ - KPHO: A woman posted on Facebook a photo of herself getting into one leg of size 20 pants she used to
A woman posted on Facebook a photo of herself getting into one leg of size 20 pants she used to wear to illustrate her dramatic weight loss. But Facebook asked her to remove the photo on the grounds it violates Facebook's policy about "promoting idealized physical appearances." What do you think of the photo and Facebook's policy? (Source: KING/CNN) STORY: http://fb.cbs5az.com/1dpKExu(Type: photo | Published: 2014-01-13T14:43:28+0000)
[lori kay] - Really? But posting half-naked "fitness" pictures is OK??
[michelle carlson lauchner] - That's ridiculous! Unless she posted "fat-shaming" comments with her pic, she ought to be able to post a picture of something she's done that she's proud of! Get a grip FB!
[candice spencer] - I think their policy is absolutely ridiculous! Half naked girls pop up on my news feed all the time!, How is that not "promoting idealized physical appearances"? They don't do anything about the half naked girls on my news feed but they will take down a picture of a woman who is proud of her weightless journey?? It's unbelievable.
[kendall slotte] - That's ridiculous. She's an inspiration for a healthier lifestyle.
[terri hutflesz] - I was curious so I did a little research.....this is not a personal FB page it is a public page you can follow. It kicks you to her weight loss web-page. She is an author, in reality this is a weight loss advertisement. I would support it 100% if it was a friend proud of their awesome accomplishment but it's not!
[lauren rose] - Oh but FB will ALLOW a picture of a kitten in a blender hu? Congrats to this woman and really FACEBOOK ?????
[linda anderson messervy] - Somebody probably reported her post to facebook as offensive. Probably because they only wish they could accomplish this.
[jessie reed] - This has to be a joke. Chicks can post near naked photos but a woman proud of losing weight cant publicly celebrate it with a classy photo.
[rebecca davis] - Maybe they should ask people to remove their nude,1/2 nude photos, promotes sex, porn, how woman should look, attracts men who abuse, rape and more. Think facebook needs to review their priorities,
[vanessa gonzales] - Smh Facebook, but we allow fb accounts to post woman in their underwear????
[rebecca kay] - I once reported a video of a man physically abusing a little boy, but facebook didn't see anything wrong with it. THIS, on the other hand, they find offensive??? I'm thinking someone needs to either fire the person who wrote the photo policy or fire the person making the decisions on what is offensive and what isn't!
[kathleen hudson] - FB get a grip... you allow half naked people, hate slurs and a ton of thers garbage in casino ads and itirating games but someone shares their success and you go crazy on them making them a bad person.........
[scott wright] - This is what happens when bleeding hearts and liberal dictate what we can say and do. Eventually everything is offensive
[darlene zimmerman morris] - oh, but if it's Miley Cyrus or all the malfunction wardrobe incidents, it's OK for the press...smh
[cathy o'neil dixon] - But they don't mind young women posting all those half naked selfies with duck lips or half naked men with six pack abs?
[tom ethington az] - They don't ban those morphed-duck mouth-Walmartian photos. Perhaps Facebook should present definitions and examples.
[dan parcell] - As I read this I see a advertisement to the right of this feed posted by FB of a bikini clad Danica Patrick....... She is a race car driver not a bikini model! What's up with this? I guess if FB gets paid to post it, that's different!
[elana wight] - So I can see vulgarity and nudity on FB, but a woman can't be fully clothed showing how HEALTHY she is now? Ludicrous!
[chevy silverado] - Must have made someone working at Facebook a bit jealous.
[sherry curtis-smith] - FB if you are so concerned, how about banning porn shots from FB. Little girls showing off to much skin. Racist remarks, etc. Instead you take something positive and turn it into a negative. Shame on you.
[elizabeth lambert] - Maybe they need to remove all of the booty shot pages then. I found this to be encouraging.
[peter mahigian] - But Facebook doesn't mind the use of "nigga" in peoples' posts when I've reported it. Shame on Facebook. I apologize for the term used above...just a quote.
[shelley witherspoon cheatham] - The fact that fb is going to say this woman and this picture violates ANYTHING, is nuts!! Apparently they haven't seen all the things I see on there daily.
What a joke!!
[andrea pederson] - Like photo. Think Facebook policy is either poorly written or interpreted. She should make two skirts out of her old jeans.
[lori squires] - Wow. They want this picture removed but when I tried to report a flat out disgusting pornographic picture and try to get it removed, FB's response was that they basically weren't going to do anything about it and to take it up with the page owner. Yeah because that will really get me somewhere! Get real.
But kudos to this lady on the weight loss! That is amazing!
[helen dontforgettobringatowel havens] - I hate fb and would drop it in a hot second if there was a competitor.
[lynn-judy pemberton yoder] - There is a picture of a totally naked woman on my FB page yesterday---called a "cougar in a tree" That is the kind of thing that should not be on FB. Not personal accomplishments.
[chris echerivel] - I'm never losing weight again! Ever!!! Ha ha...
[julie graham] - Idealized body images? Have they *seen* the pics all over Facebook? ?
[sue lux darrow] - Come on FB.....are you really serious about this"" ???? With all the trashy pics on FB that you allow and you are against someone proud of their accomplishment? Stupid!!!!
[lillian cardona-cowen] - Thanks Terri Hutflesz for the research. According to Terri this is not a personal FB page. It's a public page you can follow. It kicks you to her weight loss web-page being used to advertise a product and that is what facebook says cannot be done..If it was her personal page and she was just telling her friends about her accomplishments that would be fine but she is not.
[cristy eller] - Wow...she accomplished something so great and yet she is not allowed to share but others can wear tiny bikinis and show off much more?? Personally I'm very proud of this lady to get to where she is today. It is not offensive but inspiring.
[elizabeth denham] - I believe when someone out there creates a competitor for facebook, willing to remove the foul and keep the inspiring things, facebook will lose a decent portion of their users! Congrats to this woman for being able to lose weight AND be healthy!
[tedandmichelle harris] - Oh but if your taking selfies half dressed or even slightly dressed they will keep them up..tired of people and they doubLe standards.
[heather blase husar] - Are you kidding. Wow. Unbelievable. She should post 20 more.
[monica rae boyd williams] - She's proud of herself and she should be. Facebook and its crybaby liberal policies are freaking REDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[piff harris] - It so many worse pictures n videos on here give this woman n me a break I am very motivated by this n I'm just starting to use the gym membership I purchased to give myself greater health n sense of pride that I didn't have before so f Facebook and it's admin for being so rude n unpractical about a photo of weight lose!!
[cindy mawhinney] - Why complicate life...it's simply a picture of a person who did something healthy and positive in her life! Leave the picture be!
[lupita lopez] - After some of the stuff I see people post on FB, this is nothing!!!
[sherry curtis-smith] - Get real....this is to show you can lose weight. It is nothing but positive.
[lizeth karina bencomo] - That's funny because I've reported certain posts in a Facebook group because they were/are selling drugs which goes against their policy but I got a message back saying they didn't find anything wrong with the post. But someone posting a picture of themselves in an old pair of pants in too much? Wow.
[karen carlson] - Face book let's people put nude girls on here.at least she has clothes on!!
[cynthia lopez] - Wow.... I would rather see this amazing accomplishment than fb porn that they don't protect us from! Facebook needs to STOP Micro managing and actually stop the real issues on their website from happening like the actual photos that promote naked bodies male or female! Come on fb! Really!?
[belva woody perry] - She should be allowed to be proud of herself and be an inspiration to others.
[celestria hudson] - But supermodels with FB pages can post themselves half naked? Puleeze! Now that's promoting idealized appearances
[chris banks] - If it's an ad for weight loss products, take it off. If it's pride in an accomplishment - leave it on there. I lost 100 pounds and I'm proud to say it is all about better health - not my size...
[dorothy wildman aguilar] - I cant believe Facebook ask somebody to remove pictures of their weight lost but they allow pictures of half naked girls in bikini's
[sharon cochrane] - I lost 100+ pounds so far & have posted that info on fb. I did it to get healthy & therefore get off some meds. I'm sure she did it for the same reasons. She's proud of herself & she should be so why not post a picture. What about our right of free speech?
[denny harris] - Lets see ... This is not okay to post this. But posting vulgar, four letter profanity and half necked young girls are fine?
[ashley cruz] - So what about this advertisement that's always on fb!? Why not remove it and others like it?CBS 5 AZ - KPHO: A woman posted on Facebook a photo of herself getting into one leg of size 20 pants she used to - 50th Comments
[tisha s.hoover] - That's crazy she's proud of herself she shouldn't be criticized for the accomplishments but congrats to her she looks great.
[denise parra covarrubias] - There is worse stuff on FB. And they're focusing on this inspirational woman. Really?
[kelly hardy] - What a great accomplishment. She should be proud of herself and aloud to post this picture. It's her Facebook page.
[rachel perry gillaspy] - What about promoting good health and well-being!? Ridiculous!
[betsy horvath] - I think the news should do a bit of research BEFORE they write an article.
Facebook doesn't ask you to remove a photo. Photos are reported _to_ facebook, and if it's reported enough times, it's removed, not asked, it's removed.
There is no "promoting idealized physical appearances" policy that I could find.
The "adult products.........." violation is the option that people used to report the photo as inappropriate.
I personally think this is a publicity stunt, my opinion only. Her page went from a low number (you can see it starts with a 6 so it's either 6, 60+ or 600+) to over 2500.
[vicki piccola middleton] - Good for her! Not like she posed in something skimpy. She showed hard work pays off!
[melinda bernot edenfield] - If they are your photos and or photos of your friends that have allowed you to share their weight loss success, then they are not unrealistic results! You can't tell me that MY results were unrealistic if they actually happened to me! Just because I have a "Before and After" photo doesn't give them the right to delete it or threaten to delete my acct. Doesn't matter if its your personal page or your biz page. If you are in a weight loss, personal training, health coaching biz then so what? If they are fake photos that's different. AND losing weight doesn't mean you are promoting idealized physical appearances- personally I am promoting getting healthy, clean eating, exercise, stress reduction etc. Its bogus and BS!
[julie greg breneman] - more political correct BS, she should be able to be proud of her accomplishment
[moneke little] - Maybe they like naked pics of women more lol
[monica rae boyd williams] - We should share the hell out of this pic...I did!!!!!!!
[marisela don diego] - Congratulations !!! To her.
I totally disagree with Facebook Facebook let's people Facebook even has porn and Exedra but made this woman take her post off wow .
Crazy !
[corona xavier] - Jealous fat people! Hell I'm fat and that would encourage me. If she can do it I can do it!
[lynsi greer] - I have seen horrible videos continue to fly around on Facebook even after they have been reported and they asked her to remove this pic???? Ridiculous....
[travis slaughter] - Stupid. Plan stupid. People in the world cry over anything now a days. This country is full of weak people
[sharon smith mcchesney] - Sensorship comes to mind. There is nothing wrong with this photo. I have seen way worse on FB. Congratulations.
[jennifer d. worley barnett] - Congratulates to her that's just so awesome. Shame on Facebook
[patty rider-wright] - I guess they didn't see the naked photo of the girl hanging from a tree limb last week!! Ugg! Same on Facebook
[charlie pelayo] - Let her post a picture showing the success she's had! She's obviously worked hard for it!
[josie leonard] - I see nothing wrong with this pic.
[melyssa june goularte] - Really? There are people, thankfully none of which are friends of mine, which post 1/2 naked selfie pictures flaunting everything God gave them. So this woman did an incredible accomplishment. Why would FB pick on this positive accomplishment this gal achieved, while leaving the almost pornographic pictures other people post? How ridiculous. Kudos and way to go to this woman!
[desiree bembury] - OMG...are you kidding...she is an inspiration. ..FB needs to focus on the skank half naked pics with the porn type photos....or how about focusing on hackers and scammers....
[tara iwillsucceed trificana] - So people can post porn videos and women can post pictures of half naked bodies but someone who loses weight can't boast about it??? That makes Sense! -.-
[marna untiet] - Crazy. The woman is proud she lost weight, I applaud her. Get realistic. She just looks healthy. They should crack down on some of the nearly naked pictures I've seen that are suggestive of inappropriate sexual behavior.
[erika hartley] - Wait... Isn't Facebook where the "what's your excuse?" lady posted, or am I wrong. This is stupid.
[barbara kamekona] - I think a pic like this simply shows that change is possible if you want it bad enough
[julie hernandez] - She has accomplished a goal let her be and enjoy it and show it off....
[bruce morrow] - I find it an encouragement, Facebook is wrong again.
[sherrie barth] - but yet they let cyber bullying and people with accounts hacked stay on it and post whatever they want WTG face book. don't allow some one who has been working hard to lose weight post how they look now, face book has it's ideals backward. keep up the bad work face book
[teresa sharp kelly] - I don't think this is about "idealized physical appearances." This is about healthy living. However I can see how that could be blurred, but really this is just promoting healthy living and she's proud of her accomplishments. Great for her!!
[ladeana benson rendler] - I have no problem with the picture. I am proud of her!
[michael g kenny] - They have the time to check photos tell this woman to take this down when thousands of bullying pictures run on FB every day. Maybe thy are paying attention to the wrong thing. By the way who asked them to be my mommy?
[erika wildhaber] - Banning this photo when just this morning I saw a video where a woman is physically abusing an infant.
[elaine messer] - They meaning Facebook, allow swearing, cursing, objectional photos, pictures. But they won't allow a woman proud of her weight loss??? How hypocritical!!! What's wrong with her photo??? Just because she is proud and wants to let other women it can be done??? JERKS!!!
[h.l. gilmore] - I totally agree with Michelle Carlson Lauchner's comment. As a wearer of a size 20 pants, if I had lost enough weight to fit all of me into just one leg of my size 20 pants, I would be standing in the one leg wearing a bikini singing "If They Could See Me Now" at the top of my lungs in a video on You Tube. Get off your high horse FB ! There is plenty of other material you don't censor, that you ought to.
[brian lela] - Thank you so much Facebook for keeping our eyes safe from an amazing accomplishment
[katrina dobson] - More than likely, it was one of her "friends" that reported her picture.
[charlie okander] - Posting pictures with barely any clothes to show off tatoos or bodies is okay but this woman has clothes on is not Wake Up Facebook
[alicia portillo] - I was a size 20... Am now down to a 16 fit ... It's a HUGE milestone in my life so she should be proud and show it off
[kathy cornell] - Great photo but ridiculous to have to take down . There are other weight loss pics on here from various sites!
[shae ali] - Funny how they can say that when there are about a million ads on my timeline for some weightloss pill or program. Or I get sponsored posts of skinny women half naked showing off some "weight loss secret women are dying to discover." Way to go, double standards.
[michelle marie] - Serious?! For the amount of stuff I see on FB that should not be on there and they remove something like this. She should be proud of herself. She could've appealed it but who wants to go through that headache!
[jessica kallhoff] - Good for her!
Def disagree with Facebook.
[avis aspy truitt] - At least she didn't caption it "what's your excuse"
[stacey miaczynski kloszewski] - Personally I think she had a lot to be proud of. She should be able to post it. That's a huge accomplishment.
[chris hill] - I say let her be proud of her accomplishment.
[jamie morse] - What a bunch of b.s.!
[mimi joi cooper] - Lazy fat people hating on her for loosing weight so they complain, get off Facebook and exercise and you won't have to feel so bad about looking at a woman who lost her weight!
[jennelle layne] - I say that they need to stop letting food posts as well then, that is promoting obesity!
[maximilian colloquium sicarius] - "facebook asked her" = it was reported enough that the automation caused "facebook" to "ask her"
thus, again, people are fickle and cry about everything. good one, humanity.
[warren g. richards] - The community guidelines that are enforced or ignored seems to change with the wind and seems too dependent on who's moderating at any given time and also seems way too dependent on whether or not fb receives complaints and how many complaints --and who does the complaining.CBS 5 AZ - KPHO: A woman posted on Facebook a photo of herself getting into one leg of size 20 pants she used to - 100th Comments
[michella tsosie] - Wow. Hypocrisy at its finest.
[taunora abrahams] - Insane. She made a great accomplishment and she should be able to show it. I weigh over 200 lbs and I am working to get it off. It is no one's fault but mine. Boo hoo look at the thin lady no fair .. my feelings are hurt take it off because I as a 50 year old woman can't take it. Good grief!!
[peggy lee miller] - Really? Do they have an overweight person searching for weight-loss photos? This is a super picture!
[mike pagano] - Take this Facebook!!!!!!
[dawn m shelley buerger] - That is just PLAIN CRAZY OF FB!!!
[joseph house] - Welcome to the world of PC. She didn't like the way she was and did something about it. Being proud of her accomplishments she took this picture to share with her friends on Facebook. Facebook, not wanting to have those f** a** folks that are too lazy to get up and do something to be offended, removed the pic.
[dawn witt] - I think she should be proud. Why hide it? I'll tell you what, if I lost that amount of weight, they'd probably be asking me to remove photos too. Lol. Congrats to her.
[mick j. maroney] - The woman looks wonderful. We don't need any censorship by FB.
[mildred clark bryant] - I congratulate her!!!!!
[sabz kaotik] - wtf?! iv'e seen far worse pics being posted that have never been asked to remove.
[dann dykas] - This isn't idealizing physical appearance it's motivating healthy behavior.
[lucy chavez tanori] - Ok I lost 28 lbs in the course of 3mnts. So is FB councel gonna ban me now.
Lady I am PROUD of U.
[beverly celis mcvicker] - She's accomplished what may be the most difficult task in her life. She deserves to be proud and show the world. I've seen alot worse on facebook. Congratulations to you.
[brian lindsay] - lol what that means is some jealous tool reported the post as offensive and they took it down automatically so as not to offend others. This is the society we live in today, sad isn't it?
[natalie martinez] - This is so dumb. There are teenagers on FB that upload sexual content that could seriously be considered as borderline porn and this lady can't share her picture because it could offend someone? Wow.
[jeritha keithley- brown] - Bravo!!! This young woman should be proud of her accomplishment. Pooh Pooh on Facebook rules. I see stuff on here every day that violates those rules.
[laura wallace] - FB is being ridiculous! Great incentive for those attempting to lose weight - but, oh - FB allows near-naked photos all the time! Go figure!
[jane krim hall] - Well, when I get small enough to do this I will BE sure to post a pic! Ridiculous!
[heather baxter] - Way to go lady who can now HEALTHILY fit into a pant leg of her old pants. Facebook you suck!!
[ann riston] - FACEBOOK.....but the hell out!!! no one needs nor do we want your opinions!!!! this was created for our pleasure and to make YOU money.....go count your dollars and get your nose out of our business!!!! thank you!!!
[linda schuster] - Then they certainly need to censor some of the profile pics I've seen!
[tina trzaskowski] - This is really silly u have people on here saying she should or she shouldn't. That is okay as we all have our opinions but y should F.B. tell her it isn't appropriate? Really when I see boys with their pants half off??? People taking pictures of their blobs really???
[michelle talley] - She looks amazing! There is hope for anyone trying to shied pounds! "Promoting" Bwhahahah FB
[cheri lewis olds] - Yeah... But it's ok to post have nude chicks in bikinis making crude gestures and people smoking bongs....and dont get me started on the horrible language Ive seen posted. Alot of very inappropriate things that I wouldnt want my kids seeing. Good for her, she should be proud of her accomplishment. It takes alot of hard work and dedication.
[connie branson] - You know what, if some one has enough will power to stay on a diet, and lose weight, more power to them... Its hard work to lose weight, I know, because i've been there. I say to her be proud and pat yourself on the back...
[alysha webb] - They won't ban pics of 1/2 naked girls but they will ban a women who lost 1/2 of her body weight... (Or more). Way to go Facebook! Smh
[linda capps beaver] - Facebook lets all kinds of perverted pictures stay up! Facebook you are way off base here! She is only promoting her success!
[iron boss] - FB has the weirdest policies...there are times I can't even send msgs to my friends on my friend list. They need to get off their horses and see what's down below.
[alison renee heller] - There are before and after pictures all over Fb. I think it's a great accomplishment! I don't see Fb blocking pictures of people with their pants half down their crack, or those seen at Walmart pictures
[kristin ethington owens] - Absolutely ridiculous!! Im starting to realize that facebook is ran by a porn company.
[brenda webb] - Ridiculous! There are pages on Facebook that shouldn't be allowed and they do this to her..
[susan major] - She should be proud of what she did and FB is wrong as usual.
[jose cardenas] - Facebook full of sh*t
[robert prieto] - if this is the case they need to back track and have everyone take of there pixs showing they loss weight. come on now FB pump your breaks and chill
[kimberly imes adair] - As a really over weight person.. I do not find this offensive.. I am happy for her.. and hope one day I can do it too.. its hard for me to believe the photo was the reason for facebook saying that.. maybe the statement or words typed along with it had something to do with it.. I would have to of seen the whole post before I made that conclusion.. but I am thrilled she lost all that weight.. and she shouod be able to post that and be proud of her accomplishment..
[diana boyd] - Ridiculous. People do ridiculous "selfies" all the time.
[malissa buendia] - Wth! Thats ridiculous, but facebook is ok with people posting half naked/naked pics?!
[chuck taz young] - It violates the freedom of speach
[sher maffie] - And yet, her picture is being shared... on Facebook....
[jay lambert] - On 15AUG2001 I WEIGHED 540 POUNDS WITH A 70 INCH WAIST. I now weigh 272 pounds and have a 44 INCH WAIST.
Unfortunately, I do not have a before picture or a pair of my old pants.
If I did, I would post it and dare FACEBOOK to complain.
[susan fermenich] - I had one taken of my son and niece in my old pants went I lost 150 pounds. Fb needs to lay off this woman or anyone else that loses weight.
[barbara patton] - facebook sit down and shutup
[donna sutton] - Getting fed up of facebook
[charlene stevens] - Good for u girl! Congratulations!
[marlene keller] - I understand and support Facebook's intent but it is ludicrous to apply the policy to this photo, which conveys inspiration to people to lose weight for their health, longevity, confidence, and self esteem. She's not promoting the Barbie physical appearance, just an appearance of normal weight opposed to obesity. And I've seen a LOT of idealized appearance photos on FB that they apparently didn't ask anyone to remove. There is a discrepancy here that FB should give attention to.
[michelle phillips] - It is fine. Her accomplishment. Should be recognized
[jon kichen] - that's wrong for FB to tell her to remove it. That is an amazing achievement. I was excited 9 years ago when i lost 46 pounds.
[irv smith] - Hey Facebook, do you remember Myspace?
[gloria c. sizemore] - Facebook should allow it.
And say, Good Job. Well Done.
[trish peartree] - Give me a break, FB!! Geez ....CBS 5 AZ - KPHO: A woman posted on Facebook a photo of herself getting into one leg of size 20 pants she used to - 150th Comments
[bette huttenlocker] - How stupid is that?! I see a good thing in what she accomplished. She should be proud!
[crystal dingman] - Very proud of this woman!
[leslie crandall lewis] - She looks fabulous! Good for her! Why is it ok to post half naked women all over FB but this woman can't post this???? Stupefied.
[david hansen] - I think FB should rethink some of the photos of half naked folks that they allow!!! I have seen WAY too much of folks bodies and their pregnant bellies on FB, just because Demi More did it doesn't make it alright!!!!! Gma
[pat o'mealey] - FB needs to allow reviews of automated decisions that involve real people instead of just software that can get it wrong!
[margi martinez] - So half naked women is ok? Shame on you Facebook!
[patti colbath] - FB should get over themselves Good job girl
[stefanie colvin] - Ridiculous....the pic is motivational and inspiring
[brittany lemon] - If that is the case then every woman who is skinny needs to have their photos taken down.
[janet kreutzer moreland] - That is ridiculous.
[ed baum] - face book is out of bounds on this one
[joanne brakenbury-jameson] - Nothing wrong with this photo, I've seen worst pictures and videos on Facebook.
[louisa lopez moreno] - Is it because she's wearing clothes? Pics of both male and female with their "barely" there clothes, r on FB all the time. Don't get it.
[kimberly wall] - I think it is inspiring and I say good for her.
[evelyn moore] - I don't see anything wrong with it. Like Lizeth Karina Bencomo I also reported sexually explicit pictures and I got a message saying the same thing. FB please make up your mind.
[donna sersig] - ABSOLUTELY.....She IS promoting idealized physical appearance! Isn't THAT the idea....to give others inspiration & hope? Get real Facebook!
[jodi o'connor] - Right on Skinny girl - be proud
[janet paxson] - It is not an "idealized" physical appearance. It is an actual physical appearance of a woman who made a change for a healthier lifestyle and is proud of her accomplishment.
[ruth ann franks] - Proud of her! Facebook is lame!
[charmaine contreras] - Congrats to her!"
[ken boontjer] - What she accomplished should be celebrated, not shamed.
[esther niner] - It should help people who need to get healthy and lose weight what can be accomplished. It should be encouraging! Being healthy is too idealistic?! Come on, Facebook!
[liane andrews] - I think that she looks amazing. She's not promoting any specific diet program. If anything she promotes an ideal weight for her body frame. Her previous size was not healthy and if not so, at least borderline obese. Is Facebook concerned about offending obese unhealthy individuals? I say "To bad!"
[cathy colter] - I think it is an. Inspiring pic and all the hard work she has done what is the difference in this and before and after shots
[jennifer bouchard] - She is posting a fully clothed pic of herself and her accomplishment... I would have responded to the Facebook people and said, "when you remove the naked and half naked girls and guys showing off their bikini bodies and abs in their underwear, I'll remove my fully clothed body, but until then F you!"
[karen elms] - So how are you able to post the same picture then
[llissel milton] - Stupid what about all the facebook accounts of half naked girls? How about those? What do they promote?
[kat barnett] - Then I guess they should remove all the hot Italian girls Facebook photos as well and all the other half naked pictures of women they allow... What a joke.
[monica c henderson] - I think it's a great accomplishment and I would have done the same thing! Good for her!
[babby magallanes] - What about the ppl that are half naked ? Is that apropied ? Loosing weight is not showing off it might just give hope to some of us that are in the same proses . Good for her congrats
[norma lopez] - Shame on Facebook! How many naked pictures have been allow on? When I asked for one to be removed you simply told me to block or unfriend the person, why couldn't the same go for her picture?
[wendi dunn] - Sounds like it hit a nerve with someone there, I think it shows no matter your weight or age if you have the motivation to do it you can get it done.
[carole allen albin] - Um then they should mark everyone who posts weight loss ads! So silly!
[tracie dillard] - Oh but they let naked pictures post.
[dawn robertson luptak] - Facebook is kind of weird in how it polices.
[dottie rohan] - what about the pic that was on my page yesterday of a VERY heavyset woman with a skippy top on and one of her nipples showing. I deleted that one myself. there is nothing wrong with this pic
[jeff slade] - I don't see anything wrong with the photo. She's making a good point.
[randy drake] - As someone with a weight problem, I find this encouraging. Losing weight is one of, if not the hardest things I've had to do in life. More power to her.
[paul bloch] - I don't believe FB would ask her to remove this picture.....check you source
[candace greene] - But facebook will allow the cartel page that shows picture of murdered people guns and drugs. I've been trying for a year to havd the take it down.
[shawn akerson] - When "Fat Linda's" unite it's amazing what they can do to deny others any self satisfaction. Better to hide proof that people can change for the better than to admit you don't have the willpower to make that change to yourself.
[becky worley harden] - Ridiculous! Have you seen the stuff posted on Facebook?
[stephanie quintero] - Was someone jealous and reported her picture? She should be proud of the fact she worked so hard to lose the weight! Now she is healthy. What is wrong with that?
[judithanne westrope] - Wrong in this case.
[mary a schneidt] - FB, get a life! She is sending a message that if she can do it, others who have weight issues can as well! Back off FB!
[shirley elzey pancoast] - Stupid !! You can post barely coveted boob pics !!
[angie higgins] - Oh sure this photo is offensive but yet no one reports photos of guys abs, girls posting their cleavage or back side. People make no sense whatsoever.
[ned earley] - So now will Facebook remove the photo that you just posted?
[erin barry] - People can post themselves in skimpy clothing, or barely nothing and that s ok, but a woman proud of her journey can't? Watch out FB. It is easy to delete you
[stephani mueller] - Really? I reported photos that someone posted a video a man shooting himself in the head, another of thedead body of woman murdered by her husband. They told me it didn't violate Facebook terms...really?CBS 5 AZ - KPHO: A woman posted on Facebook a photo of herself getting into one leg of size 20 pants she used to - 200th Comments
[jona henry] - They let racists post
[sonia niner blade] - she has a right to be proud of herself. facebook is stupid.
[linda m wheeler] - that is ridiculous
[milly alicea] - Crazy! She's a inspiration!!!
[deb craven] - I think someone at fb just wants to be a pain. I've seen lots of photos of before and after weight loss/ getting fit.
[cris cross] - Funny how often i see something like this where they are trying to control every aspect of your life and people still get on here and say "its ok i agree". I have to assume half this country would like to sit in a cell. Just to agree with they're captors. Well. I officially believe this country is screwed. Good luck everyone.
[cris cross] - Facebook thinks they are your mommy. They tell you what is ok to think do or say.
[karen erdrich] - If they're gonna delete THAT pic, then they have to delete ALL the before/after weight loss pictures.
[julie still] - Stupid.... and ridiculous that FB would consider this "promoting idealized physical appearances."
What about losing weight to promote a healthy life ... one that is not plagued with health issues because your obese. She should be proud.
There are people out there abusing animals, children etc and FB wants to police THIS? And WHY is FB the Socially Acceptable Police anyway? Who died and made them king of what is considered "promoting idealized physical appearances."?
[sasha bunger] - Multiple people would have complained for FB to ask her to take it down.
[shanel pfutzenreuter] - Dumb. Good for her. She's proud of her weight loss and isn't being negative in any way.
[nancy prince gagnon] - FB is way off base on some things and totally not on base with stuff that has no reason to not be taken off!
Free speech AOK
Does it really include some pics and not others!???!
The pant picture definitely is NOT extreme!!!!!
[rita brenke] - if she took the pants off, then they probably would not say a word
[rox granberry] - Fb really has their priorities messed up
[laura cambeis] - Guess I can't post my 0's then huh
[celeste ruppelt] - Congratulations to her for doing what so many of us should. If we all could do this, FB wouldn't have to have such a self-protecting policy. They surely violate the exploitation side of this.
[david bevell] - Simply post a before and after photo!
[lee taylor] - Some of her JELLUS "friends" probably complained. I hear if something gets enough complaints they take it down, but not sure if that's true.
[colette binkley] - There have been so many things that shouldn't be posted, and this one should not be one of them She exposes nothing, and if weight loss is a problem then the advertisers of exercise and weight loss products should be banned also
[kimberly strickland] - i think those pants are much bigger then a 20. this lady is proud of herself i see nothing wrong in posting this picture
[shelly thomas sacco] - I think they should focus more on the scammers, hackers and thieves trying to steal your info.
[spencer frasher] - Wow! I looked a lot better when I was 35, so if I post a picture of me when I was 35, I would be in violation?
[marc dewease] - Needless to say, like everything else politically correct, they miss the point.
[lucia perry] - This must be a rumor.
[kathy abuelhawa-varela] - R they serious! Facebook has pictures of nudity and they don't take those down but a woman who did something miraculous, is supposed to take down her pic! Well we know what direction fb want to take! Next stop porn and discrimination!
[shawn monzingo] - Facebook's censorship of what is inappropriate to post or okay to post is a total failure.
[shannon galica] - Congrats to the lady its not easy to lose that much weight, she deserves to be proud of it, shes not trying to hurt anyone way to darken her success fb!!
[denise carbajal] - I hope it stays , this could help someone else to get healthy .
[chelsea sullivan] - That is outrageous! I have seen some pretty nasty pictures posted on here by mostly females half naked and that seems to be okay with Facebook? WTF?!
[rodgee kiyaa aanii] - Facebook is Not Good!!
[bill haselrick] - This is a positive message and should be allowed
[shirley lambert] - It should be allowed to stand as a good example
[linda tucker la londe] - That doesn't even make sense.
[dean barto] - I guess they prefer obese.
[stephanie leuty gervais] - That is really strange considering our group does it all the time...
[susie sangren] - If she is not naming the Product she can posted on FB ..they .should do their Research I seen a lot worse on FB , all the SELFIES some are real racy.
[tonya landin] - I have seen a lot worse
[rosie quintana] - beheading are ok but his lady isnt omg http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/22/facebook-allows-beheading-videos-graphic-content_n_4143244.html

Have you run a contest and had little success with retaining fans past the award date?
One goal of a successful Facebook contest should be to recruit fans who are genuinely interested in you, while avoiding the cheaters and faux fans who are only interested in material gain.
In this article you'll discover five tips to help ensure that your contests attract genuine fans.
#1: Award Appropriate Prizes
Don't offer attractive prizes that have nothing to do with your brand.
Everyone wants an iPad—not just your potential customers. A free vacation will not just attract fans who are interested in your beauty products, but pretty much anyone who sees the contest.
An appropriate award deflects the prize-hunters who hide your posts or unlike your Page as soon as the prizes have been awarded.
Offer a prize that interests your current or future customers. If your contest attracts entries from people who have no reason to become your customer, change it.
5 Tips to Make Facebook Marketing Mobile-Friendly
Do you know how your audience accesses Facebook?
Do your Facebook fans see your updates on their mobile devices?
According to Facebook's fourth-quarter report, around 680 million of the company's one billion monthly active users access Facebook from mobile devices.
It's up to brands and businesses to make sure that any marketing efforts they add to Facebook are mobile-friendly, including custom apps, email, advertising, etc.
Here are five things you can do until Facebook fine-tunes its mobile experience:
How to Grow Your Email List With Facebook Promotions
Are you looking for ways to grow your email list?
Can email list-building and Facebook promotions work well together?
In this article I'll outline the potential synergies of email marketing and Facebook promotions.
Included will be a dive into example Facebook Page promotions and how companies can use them to build their email lists.
Why Email?
Email marketing continues to be a strong method digital marketers use to inform, educate and push information to opt-in recipients. It is a universally used tool that everyone sits down to check at work or home.
As outlined in a past interview with Mike Stelzner, Christopher Penn notes that email is an important "push medium."
Email serves as one leg of a three-legged marketing tool along with a blog and social media. Within this three-pronged strategy, email is the distribution mechanism, while a blog is the content center and social media is the conversation mechanism.
When new content is posted on a blog, email can be a method of distributing notice of the new article, while social media offers a conversation mechanism for users to talk about the content.
For many companies, their email list is really the foundational marketing piece. It's a jewel of great value containing the names and direct contact method of customers and would-be customers that enables them to "get in front of" these people regularly.

This article will give you 4 ideas to improve your next Facebook contest.
Why Facebook Contests?
Facebook contests are a popular way for you to get your audience engaged and excited about your brand. More and more companies have adopted the use of Facebook contests to better track participation and engagement.
With so many companies using contests, even if you've read 9 Tips for Running Successful Facebook Contests, it can be hard to differentiate yourself. Your Facebook fans are pummeled with tons of advertisements and other promotions. So it's important to stand out against your competitors.

4 Ways to Boost Your Facebook Engagement With Promotions
Do you want to boost your Facebook engagement?
Are you wondering if promotions will help?
79% of Facebook fans are more likely to purchase from a brand they have liked, so pursuing more fans and deeper engagement with existing fans is a huge priority!
While there are many core methods for increasing engagement such as creating highly shareable content, posting images and videos and posting succinctly at key times—a powerful method is to run promotions.
Promotions have the ability to draw visitors to a Facebook Page, and when used correctly, can be a very valuable tool to accomplish your business's engagement objectives.
Selecting the Right Type of Promotion for Your Page
A key question when thinking about running a promotion on a Facebook Page is, "Which type of promotion will work best for my goals?"
The answer: It varies. Certain promotion types lend themselves to different objectives. In addition, certain promotions may work better for certain industries.
Below you'll find an outline of 4 types of Facebook Page promotions and keys for selecting the right type to run on your Facebook Page.
All of the types of promotions mentioned below must use third-party apps displayed on a Facebook Page tab. This is necessary to comply with Facebook's promotion policy.

#1: Seasons 52: "Mini Indulgence" Quiz
Seasons 52 is a restaurant chain with signature desserts called the "Mini Indulgence." The restaurant has developed an interactive quiz that asks you questions to determine "which Mini Indulgence dessert is you?"
The reason this works is because it asks personal questions about things you like to do and "matches" those things with the type of dessert. Yes it's kind of silly, but people love quizzes about themselves.

i have room for exactly two more small fruit trees. christine (happy_fl_gardener) grew some of the gulf series (i think that's what she grew) here in central florida and spoke highly of them. i see that they're available on just fruits. but on bay laurel there are some other low-chill plums that don't need pollinators. do you grown methley, beauty or mariposa? or maybe you have a counterproposal for my fruit choice? here's my current fruit census:
* Citrus: Honeybell Tangelo, Hamlin Orange, Owari Satsuma (these all on Flying Dragon), Sambokan Lemon, a Kumquat in a pot, and a kaffir lime in a pot * Figs: 'Alma,' 'Brown Turkey,'Celeste.' (I planted these in the ground after a year in pots.) * Brambles: Bababerry, unidentified blackberry, unidentified raspberry (from tony_k), and a 'Brazos' blackberry * Blueberries: Climax, Primadonna, Gulf Coast x2, Marimba, Emerald * Grapes: Nesbitt, Black Spanish * Pomegranate (Grenada) * Pommes: Anna Apple, Dorsett Golden Apple, Hood Pear, Pineapple Pear * Various pineapples * Mulberry (Black Beauty Mulberry Tree, unidentified weeping dwarf) * Carambola ('Sri Kambangum') * Bananas (four kinds, mostly dwarf, including Oronico & Ice Cream) * Mango (Cogshall) * Two peaches (Flordabell, FlordaPrince) * Fuyu Persimmon |

Ache, Plum trees get rather large, much bigger than my Peach trees. I have Gulf Beauty, Gulf Ruby, Guthrie, Methley and several others I lost the tags for. None are good producers. I may get 10 plums a year from 7 trees? Lisa |

hmmm... you're in a totally different zone than my 9a. interesting about the size, tho. i had thought plums were smaller than peaches. any suggestions, then, on what to plant in two smallish full-sun pockets? |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener 9a (My Page) on Mon, Jun 22, 09 at 22:28
Michael, peach and plum trees can be pruned to keep them smaller. Gulf Ruby and Gulf Beauty do grow very well around here. Production is very good. Lisa may be too far south for good fruit set. Ever consider an avocado? Christine |
I have had a Scarlet Beauty which has been very productive, I thinned it to about 50, and they were around the size of golf balls. Slightly tart skin, sweet flesh. Caribbean Fruit flies get them, just like peaches, but less so due to their tart skin. Beautiful color also. My tree doesn't seem to want to be bigger than any other stone fruit tree. Gary |

Plums fruit on older spurs and branches, so I think I used to prune off the fruiting bits. Then I left them unpruned, and that didn't help. We had plenty of chill this winter, but not a single plum is on any of my 7 trees. Maybe the drought? They are plenty old enough to fruit, and back when they were in half whiskey barrels, they did fruit decently. They get stout trunks and mine are currently about 12' tall. I have much better results with Peaches, Nectarines and Apples. The Pear trees are finally taking off this year. Maybe we will get Pears some day. |

I bought a Scarlet Beauty plum at a rare fruit sale in zone 10, it looked to be about 2 years old. When we moved I left it behind because after owning it another year and a half (so 3.5 age total) it did nothing except leaf out. Hmmmm, maybe that was why they sold it. Denise |
- Posted by an_ill-mannered_ache 9a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 23, 09 at 9:01
yeah, i have considered an avocado. would you suggest brogdon? i am trying to keep the number of trees i need to protect in winter to a minimum--right now, it's just the carambola (others are in large pots and so less of an issue). i planted a brogdon for my friend last summer and it was killed by the cold this year. i don't think he did a great job protecting it, but still... anyway, i'm still waffling, but inclined to give the plums a try. i used to grow a very prolific little chickasaw and it sure produced a lot of fruit... too bad they were unpalatable. |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener 9a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 23, 09 at 17:27
If growing only one avocado, the Brogdon Avocado would be a first choice because it is good tasting and self pollinating. Easy to grow. Mine is doing fine but I did protect it last winter. |
My Brogdon did great without protection at 28F. It has about 3 dozen fruit right now, beautiful 13' tree, and they taste great. Gary |
- Posted by an_ill-mannered_ache 9a (My Page) on Wed, Jun 24, 09 at 9:28
gary & christine--does the avocado respond well to trimming? could i keep it an appropriate size? 13' is a quite small tree--about the size of my peach. i have an excellent, sunny spot... and i can buy one locally. hmmmm... |
I'd love for mine to stay at 13', but it's about 5 years old and has been mildly topped 3 times. I plan to keep it around that height if possible. I can't say thru personal experience how well it'll take to continued efforts of control, but that's my plan. Gary |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener 9a (My Page) on Thu, Jun 25, 09 at 8:07
Michael---The reason why an avocado would be good for your space is because the trees do like to grow vertically. You don't need to top it off. Just use fruit pickers on long poles to harvest the fruit. I have one that has a razor blade on it for harvesting such type fruits. They can be ordered online. Christine |
I grow gulf rose, the best plum I have ever eaten, and gulf blaze. sort of so so. I keep both to no more than 7 ft high to spray and bag. both are sweet skin to pit, small pits and gulf rose is a deep rose red flesh also. I keep my trees to 3-4 main scaffolds in a spiral. then spread out in a vase shape and no higher than I can reach. I make bags from the filmy nonwoven sewer fabric at home depot. fold each 6x12" and staple sides. Then over the fruit and a little of the branch and paper clipped. No bugs or disease. Also it is too hot to spray sulfur here during ripening Howver next year I will try 1 cup molasses to 1 gal water with serenade. The molasses absorbs immediately and has some sulfur. I did get a little brown rot however it was contained by the bags and of course if fruit falls it does not spread disease. Good luck |

I'm by no means an expert on the subject however, I have several different varieties of fruit trees in my back yard that I planted last year. One thing that is most important with pruning fruit trees is making sure you hollow out the center of the tree to allow for sufficient sunlight. So many people just plant fruit trees and sit back and wait for the harvest...........doesn't work that way! I also spray mine in the spring when they releaf from the chill season.........and yes, they must defoliate and have a chill season.......sometimes requiring you to help it along by various means. You can't spray them in south Florida once temperatures get above 75F according to instructions on the bottle. I also dabble with roses and crape myrtle. I have beautiful full roses because my grandfather taught me up north to cut them right back to no more than 2' high in late fall. When they come back in the spring they are very hearty and full of blooms. I do this with my crape myrtle as well, hybiscus, and other nursery stock........got to get rid of all the life sucking obstacles whether suckers, or too much interior on the fruit trees, or whatever else is dogging the plant! I also fertilize all of my plants and use a few secret ingredients that helps them thrive! |

When a front-page headline says "More than half of District 2 schools fail federal requirements," as Saturday's Billings Gazette did, readers must wonder what's wrong with local schools. Answering that question requires understanding what federal "Adequate Yearly Progress" pass-fail grades mean.
For starters, Montana has two sets of criteria for meeting federal No Child Left Behind requirements. One set is used for the largest 54 percent of Montana school districts and is based on one specific annual reading and math test, attendance and graduation rates, according to the Office of Public Instruction. The state's smaller districts are evaluated on a broader range of measures gauged over more than one year. This smaller-school criteria was developed by Montana educators and generally applies to districts that have fewer than 30 students per grade level. Thus, Montana's results for small schools and large schools aren't comparable.
Group challenges
Furthermore, federal law requires that any school with more than 30 students in certain subgroups report results for that group. If any group (students with disabilities, those from low-income families, American Indian, Hispanic) doesn't meet the federal requirements, the whole school gets a failing grade. Schools with fewer than 30 students in these groups don't have to report on the group at all.
Most of the Billings schools that "failed," and most of the Montana schools that "failed," missed the mark with one or more subgroups of students. This doesn't necessarily mean that the schools are bad. In fact, Montana reading and math and overall test scores increased substantially between 2003 and 2010, according to OPI.
None of the Billings public high schools or middle schools made AYP. None met targets for students with disabilities, although Castle Rock, Will James and Lewis and Clark met targets for students overall. Middle school students in all subgroups scored substantially lower than the general student population on the math test.
Math scores miss mark
The math scores fell further short in high school. Among all Billings 10th-graders, only 60 percent tested proficient; the standard was 68 percent. Meanwhile, the Billings 10th-grade reading score was 87 percent, exceeding the standard of 83 percent. Again, schools came up short on scores for students from low-income families and students with disabilities.
The federal standards for special-education students are perplexing. These students are in special education because they have specific disabilities that can hinder their academic progress. According to federal law, each special-education student must have an individual education plan that meets his or her needs and goals. Yet No Child Left Behind seeks to apply a one-size-fits-all standard to these young people with highly diverse needs and abilities.
So what do AYP results mean?
Billings Public Schools are doing a great job educating most students, and that's something to celebrate.
But it's not good enough. The children who aren't testing at a proficient level won't have the academic skills they need to graduate and get good jobs. That's not acceptable.
The district needs to figure out why groups of low-income students are high academic achievers at some local elementary schools but not at others — and make changes. Billings needs to reach out more to Hispanic and American Indian students in K-12 to boost their graduation rates. Billings needs more effective teaching strategies for math. All children must receive support to succeed in school, graduate and be prepared for work and college. That's what readers can glean from AYP.

Millersburg Looking for wedding ideas? A new event promises to help brides and grooms with the hubbub of wedding planning by bringing vendors together in one location for them to peruse.
The first annual Missouri Wedding Festival is — according to Event Coordinator Linda Ordway — the only outdoor wedding expo in the state.
"It's taking a wedding show out of the box," Ordway said.
The festival will take place from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, at Cedar Creek Resort in Millersburg. So far, 60 vendors are registered to display their wares including florists, photographers, caterers, jewelers, formalwear outfitters and musicians. Some general items will also be shown such as health and beauty products, gifts and kitchen goods.

Hi, Does anyone know what are these white spots on my dieffenbachia plant (please see attached images)? I spray the leaves with water every day but these do not look like water spots. They are not sticky but chalky so I wonder if they are mealybugs. I sprayed the leaves with soapy water once but it did not seem to help. I don't see any bugs on the plant. These spots mostly appear around the edges on the front of the leaves. I also saw a few thin white streaks on a stem. The plant otherwise looks healthy. I have only had it for the last 3 weeks. Should I be worried about this? Thanks, |

My first thought is mealy bugs, others will come along and give you great advice. |
Thanks for your response Christine. I will wipe them alcohol today and see if it helps. The fact that they are not sticky but powdery made me think this was not a mealybug infection but I might be wrong. |
To me that look like calcium marks from hard water....if they aren't fuzzy they aren't mealys |
- Posted by teengardener1888 NY Albany 5a (My Page) on Sat, Aug 16, 14 at 20:05
I agree with calcium. It looks very healthy, just watch its health... |
Thanks a lot for your responses. I am relieved to know that these are just calcium deposits. I have stopped spraying the leaves with water to see if these go away. |
They won't "go away "....you'll need to remove the spots. Take a soft sponge or cloth lightly moistened in warm soapy water, place one hand under the leaf to fully support it and gently rub the top with the moist cloth. Stop misting your plants....it doesn't really benefit them in a meaningful way but can cause problems like this or worse. Give them a real shower (in the shower) every once in awhile. |
- Posted by teengardener1888 NY Albany 5a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 18, 14 at 20:54
Hey rhizo..how are ya😃 sorry I'm not here more often. |
Thanks for your response Rhizo. I wiped the leaves and have not misted them in the last few days. They look better now, no white spots. |

And that says it all right there, 4x the channels one can get out of an ADAT.
Story time folks:
One of my long time employees at the tv station has always had this dream of
doing the killer video that would make him a million dollars, so he is always
nearly starving to scrap up enough money for the latest whizbang toys. When
ADAT's recorders were brand new, he bought 2 of them, they were going to be
the heart of the audio portion of his studio. That cost him the majority of
a small inheritance, not too far short of 5 figures, and they used vhs tapes
at the time. I saw them a couple of times when he had them at the
transmitter which was his 'day' job. But I never heard them cuz they didn't
talk nice to the rest of the planet, something like a 'vegetarian' being old
tribal slang for someone who does hunt or fish well. That nearly 10 grand in
gear has since disappeared into his personal museum I guess, never to be
heard from (literally) again.
The point of the story is both that there is a sucker born every minute, and
that the ADAT interface, with its certain legal challenges that have been
intimated here many times over the last years, approaching a decade IIRC for
me, is a proprietary interface has no place in the free, open for anyone to
play with it, scene. ADAT has made their bed, now let them sleep in it. What
is being proposed here, with the ethernet interface, is both far easier to do
with generic $25/card hardware at the interface point, and far superior in
terms of bandwidth.
So please do carry on with the ethernet discussion. It is very interesting
to listen to the what if's, when its easy enough to do. Couple that with the
hardware ADC/DAC being just another exercise for the gEDA folks, who could
have you working, completely open hardware in just a couple of months. The
only problems I can see, as a broadcast engineer with 45 years experience,
would be layout problems on the PCB's that would have to be iterated several
times to get the SNR's the ADC's can be capable of, optimized into the real
As for costs, I haven't googled around to see what 24 bit (or more) monotonic
ADC's are worth in 100 lots today, Ditto for DAC's although I suspect 24 bit
monotonic comes cheaper in a DAC than in an ADC. The Audigy2, sbo400 based
card in this machine certainly wasn't a break the bank purchase even when
new, and it claims to be 24 bit.
Cheers, Gene
