Life-cycle cost analysis is essential tool in energy efficiency retrofit planning
Editor's note: This is a sponsored article. All text and images were provided by the sponsor company.
When considering energy efficiency retrofits, building owners need to do capital expenditure (CapEx) planning that includes the what, when, and why of repairs along with cost, says Graeme Scott, a senior principal at engineering consulting firm Halsall Associates. One of the most important elements in CapEx planning is doing an energy audit, he says.
"You need to understand your upgrade options and your ECMs (energy conservation measures)," Scott said. The money spent to improve thermal values might not show a quick payback, but often when returns are tallied over the long term, it proves to be a wise expenditure, he said. A CapEx plan incorporates an agenda for renewal of building assemblies and components, including HVAC and interior finishes, as well as the building envelope.

Global Immunization Strategic Framework 2011–2015: Background and Introduction
The burden of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) in the United States has been greatly reduced due to childhood immunization. However, even as VPDs such as polio, measles, and rubella have been eliminated in this country, the United States remains vulnerable to disease importations as long as they persist elsewhere. In an era of mass travel and global epidemics, the health of U.S. citizens is closely related to disease occurrence in other countries. Thus, support for immunization programs worldwide contributes toward providing an "umbrella of protection" for the United States, as well as fulfilling the U.S. government's broader commitment to global health.
Childhood immunization is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions. Basic immunizations are estimated to prevent more than 2.5 million annual child deaths globally, primarily due to prevention of measles, pertussis, and tetanus. Vaccines also prevent severe morbidity from other devastating diseases such as polio for millions more children. Vaccination of children also is expected to avert adult deaths by preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis and liver cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cervical cancer. However, immunization can potentially do much more. The World Health Organization has estimated that about 1.5 million children under age 5 years continue to die annually from VPDs (approximately 20% of overall childhood mortality). In particular, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine, and rotavirus vaccine prevent pneumonia and diarrhea, the two leading causes of death among children under age 5 years in the developing world; the expanded use of these vaccines will be critical for achieving UN Millennium Goal 4—to reduce 1990 child mortality levels by two-thirds by 2015.
An estimated 130 million infants are born around the world each year. Protecting each new birth cohort from VPDs requires a well-functioning and accessible immunization service delivery system as a cornerstone of national public health systems. Routine immunization service delivery at fixed posts or through periodic outreach activities (e.g., child health days, immunization weeks) provides at least three contacts per year to more than 100 million infants and their caretakers. In addition, supplemental immunization campaigns play key roles in making progress toward meeting targeted disease control goals such as polio eradication and measles mortality reduction. However, these achievements are temporal because large outbreaks are probable, and cases and deaths are likely to increase, without further improvements in immunization service delivery.
As a well-accepted and demanded community health program, the immunization service delivery platform is key in ensuring equitable distribution of other essential health services and decreasing morbidity and mortality from other diseases. Through either routine immunization services or supplemental immunization campaigns, immunization service delivery is the backbone upon which multiple additional services are added, including delivery of de-worming medicine, vitamin A, long- lasting insecticide-treated bed nets, safe water systems, and other health commodities. Also, the infant immunization contact provides opportunities to screen mothers for HIV/AIDS and provide health education on a variety of topics. The integrated service delivery process must be coordinated and rational so that health care workers are not overburdened. However, if done effectively, integrated service delivery offers the potential to efficiently expand outreach for multiple health care services to previously unreached populations.

Overview - 2 Chronicles 24 | |
1 | Joash reigns well all the days of Jehoiada. |
4 | He gives order for the repair of the temple. |
15 | Jehoiada's death and honourable burial. |
17 | Joash, falling into idolatry, slays Zechariah the son of Jehoiada. |

2 Chronicles 24:25 (King James Version)
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

Lack of communication, room not as reserved.
For the value it is a great hotel. The bed was super comfy, the room was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The only bad thing I could say was maybe the decor. The paint color is bold and a little off putting. Plus the large mirrored wall behind the beds are kinda tacky.
Room accommodations.
Spider in room.
Convenient to Cooperstown
The air conditioning was sporadic. Sometimes too cold, other times not cool enough.
Staff was very friendly when checking in and out
We got back from a party very late and housekeeping woke us up at 9am, and again at 10am. Not sure why since we were checking out at 11.
The beds and bathrooms were very nice, the TV was full HD, a nice closet and microwave, and fridge. The heating/colling unit was very quiet.
There should be another plug by the bed. The toilet seat was loose, needs tightening. The shower head is not adjustable, I'm used to a shower head attached to a hose. There was a problem getting into the internet on Sunday night, it didn't work.
Friendly staff who took our room placement into account since we're traveling by bicycle.
Undergoing renovation that made getting through the public spaces difficult.
It is only 5 minutes from the relatives I was visiting
They need to change the carpeting and update the breakfast
Easy access on and of NYS Thruway. Close to my destination in Fonda, NY. Easy access foe gas.
Shower wall separating from bathroom wall. Bathroom very small. Chair in sitting area is very low.
The location
Not clean, too small and items which did not cork correctly
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience
jjjaymmman Posts: 43I am military but this was not a factor for the 0% financing. Also my credit is good and I actually was pre-approved for the vehicle @ 1.99% using my bank. I kept haggling with the sales rep over the price and he would not budge on giving me an OTD price of $28,500 (no taxes for me being military and a Washington resident). When he asked if I would take 0% finance for 60 mos for $29K through Honda Financing I instantly agreed (savings of about $1,500).
The best part after I agreed to Accord price was when I offered my trade-in, which originally I told him I was not. It was a 07 Jetta I paid $8k for 3 years ago with a trade in value of $5k (there was no way it was worth close to that with the transmission problems I was having). I pushed to make the deal that I needed $6K (owed $4K) which he finally agreed after I walked out the door and he called me while I was on my way home.
I turned around, signed the papers @ 1030pm on a saturday night and financed the $27K for 60 mos with a straight principle payment of $450 a month. No extended warranty or Gap insurance. Came with all the standard options, aquapel, tire lock, tinted windows, ect. Accord EX-L V6 no Navi. overall I'm very happy about the deal. -

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,068When comparing Camry sales to Accord sales, it has to be remembered that Toyota sells huge qualities of Camrys to the rental car companies and Honda does not.
These cars are dumped en masse at the auctions around 18 months later which really hurts the resale vcalues compared to Hondas.
This really inflates Toyota's sales numbers. -

mvperez4jesus Posts: 231well, whatever did the trick, it was well worth the late night hours that day.
0% on the new 2013 i dont i have seen it. I know there is a military discount through honda of $500 now, but the 0% is definetlly a great deal.
Thanks for your reply. I have good credit so, i just hope to bump into that deal when i get mine, good luck and enjoy your ride! -
jjjaymmman Posts: 43Brian, I totally agree with you because the accord already has the Bluetooth and it works great! I was only considering a gps unit with Bluetooth if I could get one for $200 to 220 to be able to use it in my other vehicle that does not have Bluetooth (kinda using it as a mobile unit). But if the price is way more, then I probably wouldn't consider it.
Honestly, it's not a major concern at this point because realistically I really would only use it a few times a year while traveling. Providing I'm not using my cell phone nav which is why I didn't want to invest $2K more in the accord. The wife doesn't think we need it anyway and would rather I spend the money on getting her a new phone. This is more of a want versus a need (boys with their toys) for me. -

mvperez4jesus Posts: 231What???? I did not have the honor to serve, but I tell u what it is outrageous and totally unfair if u ask me. Sorry for those that fall under this category. Maybe a letter to Honda will help, just a thought, but is definitely unfair as unfair can possibly be.
Gob bless you all for your service and time and I hope that rule changes.
And I do understand that they set the rules and what not, but, in this very specific case, it shouldn't matter, they should do it just to honor those that server or have served, period.

zigster38 Posts: 72...and I like to really get a good deal when car shopping. There are plenty of buyers who do nothing but pay invoice or higher and that's where the dealerships make their money. The net has killed a lot of the sales tricks that isellhonda used to retire ;-) but still in person the dealerships know that a lot of people are not comfortable with negotiation.
Now as far as the vehicle, the 2013 Accord is a great car (for a mid-size sedan), and holds it's resale well. It's a great car to lease. And because Honda is always pressured by Toyota who likes to give away the Camry, and because it's a volume seller, you can always get great deals. Below Truecar for sure. I would say by the end of February if you are not getting 1k below invoice on an Accord, you just aren't even trying.
And I'm ok with then letting the dealership then make a few bucks on adding leather or something like that. Just remember that the dealership doesn't take negotiation personally, so you shouldn't either.
Have fun! -
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,068You know....
Honda does something to support our troops yet they can't win!?
You think it's "outrageous and totally unfair" because they didn't include anyone who ever served in the military??
I don't think it's unfair at all and I DID serve.
If I was Honda I would feel like I had been slapped in the face.
But, that's me... -

zigster38 Posts: 72Well you would have to ask your sales manager about that ;-). Although you know the answer already. Because the merchant still makes money, of course.
I imagine that there aren't many times when a dealer sells a vehicle at true cost. End of month, end of year....even then there are are holdbacks, doc profits, add-on profits etc.
If you sell 90% of your cars at a profit, and 10% at breakeven, the dealership still makes $.
So why do they sell honda's at 1k under invoice or more? Because they can ;-) -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,277Today sales people are on little salary. Some may be getting as little as 100 dollars per car sold. With incentives and bonuses if you could sell 25 to 40 cars a month you might do okay. Otherwise the fat cats/ upper management / owners are making the dough. I'm sure the ratio of profit to break even on cars is very lopsided. Sansone auto mall in N.J. is a perfect example. The old man has his own private Jet. Filthy rich. Not only is he miserable with all that money his own son wont speak to him any more. Try buying a car at that dirt bag dealership..Sansone will rob you blind if your not smart.. i have no love loss for most of these dealerships. dealers like to prey on the weak and misinformed making money hand over fist..

darrin8 Posts: 14Brian, originally typed in but scratched out and hand written in for what i negotiated. The wife and I were looking at the sport models but I was not going to pass up the deal on the touring. The touring only gives you led head lights, acc which is nice. I with the other guys you can get a better GPS but the voice commands on this one work really well.
Good luck -
jjjaymmman Posts: 431st Thank you Brain and all that support the military as well as all who have served.
2nd, I think prior military deserves the same opportunities as active/reserve and 1st responders (police, fireman, ect) in terms of a discount (viewed as a honor). Our veterans have paved the way for us to follow and I thank you for your service!
3rd, if I had to repeat my 18 years of service knowing the time lost with my family, missed holidays, and the loss of dear friends I'd do it all over again! Why? For the honor and respect to be an American soldier, fighting for who we are as a nation with the freedom and liberty to be AMERICANS.
Oh, if I could make one simple change today, I'd bring back the pledge of allegiance in schools. Not for religious or political reasons, just as a custom to American pride and respect as a united nation. -
augcarbuyer Posts: 18This is the trick dealers usually play. The reality is 1. dealers will never tell you the true price point where they make or lose money and 2. no one is forcing them to sell the car at any price. On the contrary, when they are saying this, most likely they are trying very hard to sell you the car.
Someone was asking earlier what is the reasonable amount of profit a dealer should make on each car. I'd say it all depends on the market. If there is a hot car selling at MSRP everywhere, you just have to pay at that level. In other situations, dealers make money because customers don't have all the price information.
Generally speaking, buyers should call or request quotes from a few dealerships from a wide region just to feel the market. My experience is that dealerships located farther from downtowns or population centers are usually cheaper because of lower land costs and possibly lower labor costs. Also, this forum is a good starting point for feeling the market too. I got very helpful tips about what price I should be looking at on this forum. -
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,068I really do appreciate all of the comments and "expert" advice here and I'm off to do my volunteer work feeling so happy to be retired, still have my health and no longer having to deal with miserable grinders who seem to feel that a car dealership is somehow evil and undeserving of a profit.
I do miss my co workers and the dealership management and my wonderful loyal customers who weren't afraid they just might pay a dollar more than someone else did.
Thanks! -
jjjaymmman Posts: 43Great post augcarbuyer! There is no doubt consumer knowledge is power, research, research, research will give you the edge. I to love to play the game and I have always made out on used cars. New vehicles are some what difficult however, the consumer can still maintain the upper hand. Here is a what I usually do. Sorry this message is long but it may be worth it for some of you.
Before going into the dealership:
1st I get pre-approved for a vehicle which most banks will honor for 30 to 60 days. 2nd control your emotions. 3rd plan to purchase as close to the end of the month as possible. 4th like another person has posted in here, have as much statistical data (accurate) for your region. 5th if you are going to trade in a vehicle use NADA trade in value report to check what it is worth (not KBB).
When you are ready to buy:
If you have a trade-in do not let the salesman know this up front, especially if you know it's value and you have equity in it. If asked, just say I don't have a trade (you'll see why later). Also, if asked where you want to be as far as payments tell them you are already pre-approved and this is not a concern (it is very important to not let them in on any of this info). And, show up at the dealership about an hour before closing time, that's usually when the eager salesman who is struggling that month will be the one who approaches you.
During the negotiations:
Drive this price down as much as possible, the OTD (out the door price). Many times the will have someone else show you numbers in an effort to loose you, all you care about is the OTD. If you get the number you are looking for, start adding bonuses. For example, tell them this will include tinted windows, 1st three oil changes, cargo net, maybe even a spoiler; you'll be surprised what they will give you when it's late at night. This is exactly what I did on the accord I just purchased. But the game keeps going...
Once I squeezed out as much as I could, I asked if they had any special financing regardless that they know I'm pre-approved (which I really was); provided you have excellent credit and can afford another credit inquiry. I pushed and got zero % for 60 months which required the dealership to buy down the loan. To do so however, I had to come up $500 on the OTD price (after squeezing all the extras and the fact I was going to save thousands in interest this was awesome). I had them print me out a buyers order to see the final numbers which had to be the OTD price we agreed to (don't sign this just yet). Then i had them fill out a "we owe" with all the bonuses we discussed. Last thing I did was bring up the trade-in.
Trade-in negotiations:
I new I only owed $4k and the NADA was only $5k which is exactly what the dealership offered me. I told them I needed $7k to make this happen. Yes, the dealership was getting frustrated and it was now 10pm on a Saturday and 2 hours after closing. We finally agreed to $6k. Knowing I'd be lucky to sell the vehicle on craigslist for about $2k I took the deal. The best part about all this, they NEVER test drove my vehicle. They did the another buyers order after calling my bank for a payoff; seeing the salesman's face was classic when he realized I got another $2k in my favor. This was all strictly business and I love my new Accord EX-L V6. -

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,068
jjjaymmman Posts: 43In response to "isellhondas":
You keyed in on "any salesman worth his salt" which makes the point that they are not all experts. Additionally, I was an Air Force recruiter for 4 years and I did receive training in sales (very extensively). You quoted "people like myself"; well not everyone has a background in sales. It's also obvious that you too have sales training and may in fact be an expert. The simple point was that customers can maintain control of the sale which is exactly what I did.
If you choose to compare the honesty of a recruiter to a car salesman that's fine but I have nothing to hide or lie about here. I gain nothing by passing along this info to give a customer an upper hand. I'm not getting a commission.
As I stated originally, this was just business and it worked out for me. It's not a bad tactic and it does in fact work; call it tools of the trade. Keep in mind that salesman perfect their skills for their gain and customers protect their wallet. -
mvperez4jesus Posts: 231Truth be told is that this forum is called "Honda prices paid and buying experience". One of the goals is to get an idea how much are people paying for the car that you are looking for and learn from other people's experiences (whether good or bad). Get as much information as possible about the car u are buying and hopefully make and informed decision.
In addition, must of us, would make sure our credit is perfect before we buy. Then we get pre-approved to avoid being on the spot the day of the purchase. We read, read and read. Some of us would have a spread sheet to see the prices paid during a period of time and where those people bought their car from and how was their experience when buying from those dealerships. I can go on and on, but the bottom line I think that most of us are putting a lot of time and effort to get a decent end result = a good and affordable price for a big purchase and "long term investment". I could say that we put a lot more time and effort than the average buyer; wouldn't IsellHonda agree that perhaps we deserve that better price after all our effort?
And by the way, we are not "stealing" from the dealerships, we for the most part will get a long term loan that we are stuck paying for, but hopefully after doing our math, we are comfortable paying for on a monthly basis.
And the price of that car, is something we both agree to. So, no need to pretend here that dealerships are being victimized or being taken advantage of. Dealers always make profit or in very rare exceptions, they cut even.
They are not charitable institutions and every sales person is not Mother Theresa either. Not too many people can say that they worked for a dealership for many years. In fact, every time I do an oil change I can for the most part say I will see a bunch of new faces in the sales department.
I can only say that those that don't agree or can not live with the fact that we put a decent and honest effort in to this process, are wasting their time monitoring what we say here.
For those that are afraid that we pay too little for a car, should also make sure that every time they pay for something in the store, or when the buy a house, or airplane ticket, etc, they pay the "sticker price" or close enough, so that everyone makes profit and no one winds up "grinding." No coupons, sales, allowed for them .

the 1st pic is the Hilton right off of the Big I,and the 2nd is on University where they extended it out by the airport. |
Those are Trachycarpus fortunei (Windmill palm), and not Mexican fan palms in the first pic. Wanted to clarify. Fortunei is very hardy here though. Will even grow a new fan in the winter here sometimes. Back to the Mexican fan palm question. If your are dead set on Ca. type palm like this, look for Washingtonia filifera, instead. Beware of its sister species 'robusta' (the one you are actually talking about), which might survive a winter or two here but is probably not hardy longterm. There are some filifera that have overwintered well here. Maybe someone can post up? |

flattie---I seen a house that had 3 or 4 large California fan Palms in their yard the past couple of years they looked great even in the winter with the snow they still looked descent, but I recently drove be their and saw that all the fronds were missing,it was just trunks on 3 of them,the other was green, did the others die over the winter because its already July now and they should of been sprouting new fronds, what do you think, seeing this might help me out in the long-run. |
Was this house on Eubank near Paseo? If so, all those palms, which were robusta and not the hardier filifera, are dead. This brutal winter we had took them out. 2 feet of snow and a couple of weeks in the 30s did not help. The owner did not protect them at all. I saw a filifera seedling that made it through this winter outside (!), so there is a difference. Robusta is not hardy here and likely will be killed even in Las Cruces in some years. Filifera has been reported to withstand -11F (if dry), so it has a shot here. Remember filifera comes from the Mojave which can have cold lows even in the palm oases, whereas robusta is from the Sonoran desert which does not see as much cold. |

flattie------The house I was talking about is on San Idlfanso in Taylor Ranch,All the California palms look like poles but one still has green fronds,I did see them in the winter with snow on them,I guess 1 survived,and I know which house you are talking about on Eubank,but I didnt know they lost their palms,what a shame, they were beautiful too,I guess I should take back my Robusta and go for another windmill.Those dead palms were about 8 feet tall and not sure how long they been there,I know 2 years for sure, but I would think they would have been used to our cold if they were planted years ago,dont you think. |
I have seen it below zero F. a couple of times here in ABQ in my lifetime (I'm almost 30). I remember one day back in the early 90s where the high was in the lower single digits. I remember going outside that day just to feel what 0 degrees felt like. Little did I know that I would get to experience a lot of it in grad school in Michigan... These are the events, where a filifera (if dry) might survive and the robusta probably won't. Until the next one of those occurs enjoy your robusta. If it made it through this winter, who knows how hardy that individual palm you have is. Maybe its a survivor. www.plantdelights.com has some filifera they claim are from Truth or Consequences and very hardy to cold. Seedlings though. This site has some real exotic stuff you will not find at our local nurseries. Remember the alltime record low in ABQ is -17F in 1971 (that same month the record high for Jan. was set at 69F - go figure). I imagine some areas in the valley got lower than that. Maybe some of the older members have some memories of that event. Still its fun to try to grow the palms. |
Guys see this link - http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/swest/msg0515265531027.html?14 You'll find TONS of descriptions of locales all over Albuquerque where palms are located. I agree that Filiferas are much better choices for ABQ than Robustas, although Robustas can make it if the owners give them some good winter protection. Surely T. Fortunei are the best choice. Addition to the list in the link above - ***There is a new building (office) built on I-25 and Alameda (just southwest corner) with about 7 or 8 mid-sized younger Trachy Fortunei planted throughout the landscaping. A couple are on the corner of Alameda and some are in the parking lot / by the building, etc. It really looks very beautiful. The only amazing thing with these palms is that many seem to be being planted in the North VALLEY (Corrales area) or areas nearer the foothills / east of Eubank (house you guys are talking about above). These are the two worst places in ABQ to plant palms as they are the coldest. I would like to see more planted in landscaping in the more warm, thermal zone of the NE and SE Heights west of Eubank and east of the Valley...and the West Side west of the Valley. They REALLY do well in the UNM / Uptown area, some of the warmest places in the city. |

flattie- are you growing any palms, if so do you have any pics. |
I have one palm in the ground recently planted - a 5 gal. Med. Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis) I bought at Lowes on Juan Tabo for $19 - nothing to lose. It is growing in a sunny spot and hopefully it will make it through this winter. I have a bunch in pots and aside from a few tropicals most will go in the ground when ready. I have: Summer only palms: Howea forsteriana (15 gal. Kentia) I'll see if I can post some pictures... |

Flattie- I know I'm a little late for this conversation, but what do you think of the Filifera seedlings from plantdelights.com? They have a sale on them right now and I'm thinking of trying a few in Lubbock. |

Researchers, health institutions and more are continually finding better ways to monitor health, stretchable electronic skin being one of the latest developments. Essentially, this thin wearable patch will be able to send information about patients back to health practitioners on a more real-time basis. This will allow them to act faster when something goes wrong or is simply not working properly.
Developed by University of Illinois scientist John Rogers, the stretchable electronic skin was created using gold electrodes and other nanometer thick wires deposited in a serpentine fashion onto thin films of silicon wafers. Rogers is also the co-founder of MC10, a start up based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that is behind the commercialization of this product.

New England Disabled Sports Hosts Ski & Snowboard Day for Wounded Warriors
Organized in partnership with Disabled Sports USA, the event gives wounded servicemen and women the chance to ski and snowboard with their comrades and instructors from New England Disabled Sports. All veterans and their families will receive individualized adaptive instruction, adaptive equipment, transportation, lodging, and meals - free of charge. Many of the participating veterans were wounded in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan.
"This annual event has become one of the most exciting events of the year in New Hampshire and the experience can often be life changing for these veterans," said Geoff Krill, sports director of New England Disabled Sports.
The event is made possible by a grant from Disabled Sports USA's Warfighter Sports Program, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation, and Raytheon. Volunteers from GE Aviation of Lynn, Mass. will assist during the event.

Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. The commercial product, a mix of several PCB isomers, is a colourless, viscous liquid that is almost insoluble in water, does not degrade under high temperatures, and is a good electrical insulator (see dielectric). PCBs became widely used as lubricants, heat-transfer fluids, and fire-resistant dielectric fluids in transformers and capacitors in the 1930s and '40s. In the mid 1970s they were found to cause liver dysfunction in humans and came under suspicion as carcinogens; their manufacture and use were consequently restricted in the U.S. and many other countries, though illegal dumping by manufacturers continued. They persist in the environment and have entered the food chain, causing great harm especially to invertebrates and fish.

I have some rooted cuttings of Pelargonium denticulatum, fern leaf geranium, also known as pine scented geranium. Fast growing, leaves have nice scent reminiscent of pine, and blooms occasionally. Plants have a nice branching habit which would make them easy to train as a mini standard. I'm open to trade offers, but I'm particularly interested in plants with a cultural/religious significance (such as Camellia sinensis). |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Kenny! Your fern leaf Geranium looks intriguing. I am trying to think of what plant I would have with a cultural/religious significance that may interest you and all I can think of at the moment is a houseplant...Euphorbia Splendens AKA Crown of Thorns.If you are interested in a trade of this let me know. Ross. |
Hi Origami_Master, I have nutmeg scented geranium, would you be interested? I could quick take cuttings and see which ones root up. It smells divine, and Richters says it has culinary uses too. It stays quite small but is one of my favourite things to brush up against in the winter. I also have culinary / hummingbird magnet, honey melon sage - these are already rooted. (super easy to overwinter and root). Or well rooted mojito mint cuttings. Hope some of these tempt you! The fern leaf geranium sounds so pretty. Cheers, BlueIris3 |

I have two Miss Kims that I planted about 6 years ago. In my impatience for mature plantings, I put them too close together and now (predictably) they've outgrown their allotted space. It seems I have two options here, and I'm hoping you guys can advise me... I could move one of them, but I'm afraid they're both too big for me to move by myself. Also, they are presently in the only part of the garden with good sun (and even so, they're getting about 75% sun). So I hesitate to move them to a shadier spot. The other alternative would be pruning them back for size. That would be my preference, but I'm not sure how they'd weather the pruning. If I were to prune, I know I should do it right after the bloom, so that would be in about a month here. (They are covered in buds right now, but no open flowers yet.) How hard could I prune them without harming the plants? And will that affect the bloom potential for next year? Or would it be better to move one of them to another part of the garden and let them both grow out to their full potential size? Thanks. |

I wouldn't move them especially if you don't have a place to put 1 if you do. Lilacs are pretty tough. My neighbor has a hedge of them and they are planted close together. I'd let them grow together like 1 big bush. To prune start by removing any dead branches in the center. You could do that now if you want. Then you could remove as much as 1/3 of the growing branches after they flower. Understand that any pruning will have the branches growing back with double the new growth |

A painter ahead of his time.
Rebellious art from the Baroque age.
Notorious bad boy of Italian Baroque painting, Caravaggio (1571–1610) is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Though his name may be familiar to all of us, his work had been habitually detested and forced into obscurity. Not only was his theatrical realism unfashionable in his time, but his sacrilegious subject matter and use of lower-class models were violently scorned.
Caravaggio's great work had the misfortune of enduring centuries of disrepute. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that he was rediscovered and, quite posthumously, deemed a great master. He is now considered the most important painter of the early Baroque period; without him there would have been no Ribera, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Vermeer or Georges de La Tour. Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Delacroix, and Manet would have been different.
In this anniversary edition you'll find over 50 of Caravaggio's best paintings; we think you'll agree that he was a genius beyond his time.

Chesapeake asset sale lifts profits, shares rise
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Chesapeake Energy Corp's second-quarter results on Monday offered investors some evidence the cash-strapped U.S. oil and gas company will be able to bridge a big funding gap with more assets sales and higher crude oil production.
Chesapeake, which faces an estimated shortfall of about $10 billion this year, as well as governance and legal woes, said it is on track to close three deals in West Texas in the third quarter, including its Midland Basin producing assets to privately held EnerVest Ltd. That price was not disclosed.
The company has completed $4.7 billion of sales in the first half of 2012 and expects to announce deals for another $7 billion in assets in the third quarter.
Chesapeake shares were up nearly 3 percent after the close of regular trading.
Low natural gas prices have battered Chesapeake, which is shifting capital to the search for more profitable oil. In the second quarter, Chesapeake said its oil and natural gas liquids output rose 65 percent and the company forecast more gains for the year.
"Overall, I would say the quarter probably wasn't as bad as people thought," said Mark Hanson, an energy analyst at Morningstar. "You've got liquids production going up, which is a sign that they are aggressively going after them. That could be the influence of Icahn."
Still, Hanson noted that Chesapeake's projections for acreage purchases this year rose to $2 billion from a prior forecast of $1.6 billion at a time when investors are looking for signs the company is slowing its spending.
Aubrey McClendon, Chesapeake's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are taking aggressive and focused actions to increase cash flow and net asset value per share, while also reducing long-term debt, as we continue our ongoing transformation to a more balanced asset base between higher-margin liquids and lower-margin natural gas
Chesapeake and McClendon have been operating under a cloud following a series of Reuters investigations that have drawn the attention of state and federal regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Two of the company's biggest investors, billionaire Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management's Mason Hawkins, now control four seats on Chesapeake's nine member board of directors. Both have pressed for lower spending.
McClendon was also replaced as chairman by former ConocoPhillips director Archie Dunham in June.
Chesapeake, the second largest producer of natural gas, has struggled amid the steep downturn in price for the fuel. In its latest earnings report, the company said it cut its proved, undeveloped reserves in the Haynesville and Barnett shale formations because they were unprofitable to produce.
Chesapeake's reserves as of June 30 were 17.4 trillion cubic feet equivalent, down 7 percent from a year ago, it said.
Profit in the quarter was $929 million, or $1.29 per share, up from $467 million, or 68 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.
Excluding the $584 million gain from the sale of its Chesapeake Midstream Partners, a $490 million gain in the value of its energy derivative positions and other one-time items, earnings per share were 6 cents, the company said.
Analysts had on average forecast earnings per share of 7 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenues rose to $3.4 billion from $3.3 billion a year ago.
Chesapeake said it now expected its asset sales would be between $13 billion to $14 billion this year, the upper end of its previous target of $11.5 billion to $14 billion.
The company's shares, which were down 21 percent so far this year through Monday's close, were trading after hours at $18.20 per share from the $17.70 close.

This article is from the WebMD Feature Archive
The 20-something couple, married just a few years, was eagerly looking forward to the birth of their first baby.
Labor and delivery went fine, and the baby was born healthy. But problems began when the new mom, overwhelmed by motherhood, suffered depression.
"The husband had to take care of everything," recalls Joan R. Sherman, MFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Lancaster, Pa., who saw the couple in counseling. When he was at work, he worried that his wife was so depressed she wasn't paying needed attention to the baby. He became so worried he secretly set up a "nanny cam."
She got more and more depressed; he got more anxious, angry, and resentful.
As this case history suggests, depression that affects one partner has an effect on the other partner, the relationship and ultimately the entire family. Nearly 15 million American adults, or about 6.7% of the U.S. population age 18 and older, is affected with a major depression in a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Statistics about how frequently depression affects one partner in a relationship are elusive, say Sherman and other experts. But mental health counselors like Sherman say depression often leads couples to seek counseling, fearful the depression will lead to divorce.

Bath Addition / Margo Gardens median real estate price is $205,684, which is more expensive than 74.5% of the neighborhoods in Pennsylvania and 60.2% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Bath Addition / Margo Gardens is currently $793, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 65.9% of the neighborhoods in Pennsylvania.
Bath Addition / Margo Gardens is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
Bath Addition / Margo Gardens real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the Bath Addition / Margo Gardens neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
Bath Addition / Margo Gardens has a 16.7% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 78.1% of American neighborhoods). This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood, or that much of the housing stock is seasonally occupied, which can occur in some markets dominated by colleges or vacation homes. Either way, if you live here year round, you will find many of the homes or apartments are empty for all or a portion of the year.

This really did nothing for my oilyness and make my skin look weird and cakey and dry, will not be repurchasing.
If you want to look like a cupcake then get it.
I did exactly what all the reviewers and MUA told me to do, to put it on my hand first and let it sit there. Did that and then put it on my face and about an hr later my makeup looked like it was cracking everywhere.
Horrible! This is the worst primer I ever tried. Even worse than Maybelline's pore eraser. I'm unsure if this contains alcohol but definitely felt like it burns my skin. I'm done with this for sure
And i've tried my fain share of primers!!
First of all this primer is advertised as being for oily skin, however it should be noted on the bottle that if you are not one of the very few people of which cannot even apply make up on your face because you are so slick with oil, then you should steer clear of this mess! Secondly, the texture is weird, being thick and moist half way between a gel and a mouse, but don't let that wetness fool you because as soon as you rub it into your skin it starts to loose its slip. The formula is too quick-dry making it annoying to apply because it eventually becomes similar to the task of rubbing propolis honey on your face minus the sweet smell! Thirdly it dries the crap out of your skin. Yes it prevents oil from breaking up your makeup. Yes it prevents you from shining and having to blot but it does so at the expense of the moisture in your skin. It dries white on the skin absorbing surface oil and having you look like a ghost in no time. But its all fine and dandy until the next day when your dry (and potentially flakey given the reviews of the other oily skinned MUAs I have worked with!). And this may seem great but let me tell you that its hell! my makeup never sits properly the next day and no matter what I do to try and correct my transgressions I do so in vain because my skin refuses to cooperate and remains dry and creasy for the rest of that next day.
I always always regret re-trying this product after my first attempt but no amount of oil, or serum can prepare my skin for that mess. This primer was very obviously made for the oiliest of the oily skinned dames out there, and should not be tried by anyone who feels they do not fit into that category or that id not interested in the potentially emotionally scaring experience.

Where should I begin? I have extremely oily skin, I mean, I am an oil slick within less than an hour kind of oily. Big pores but overall clear skin. And not to mention, I live in hot, humid Florida.
When I try out a product, I like to try it in different ways and in conjunction with different products. So the first day I wore it after I put on a thin layer of MoM, then Sephora's mattifant moisturizer. Then I followed the directions of the reviewers below: took a tiny bit, rubbed between two clean fingers, and applied lightly and to small sections. At first I put too much and like many have said, my makeup looked scaly and patchy. I was horrified! But I was also very determined, so I tried again. I tried to avoid sections I already applied to and smooth it out a little more and the result was fabulous! It took a little more time than my usual routine, as I'm still getting used to it, but my makeup looked flawless. And I'm happy to say, it withstood the test. It stayed on all day, I was so impressed. Even towards the very end of the day when I was sweating and got slightly oily, my makeup still looked amazing.
Now, I also tried it without the MoM and the results were not impressive. If I had tried it like that the first time, I would have probably returned it. But since I found what works I am very happy.
It did amazing with oil and sweat when I used my MoM, it did nothing for my pores but that wasn't my main concern, and it does take some patience to apply but overall, I'm happy with the results and will buy again.
I've had a deluxe sample of this primer sitting unused in my makeup bag for months. I used it recently on a last minute trip and was pleasantly surprised. This is a great primer for the t-zone if you have combo skin like I do or for all over if you have very oily skin. It definitely keeps my t-zone matte and my foundation or BB looking fresh. I also like it under the eyes after moisturizing to prevent my concealer from creasing. Less is definitely more since this can leave a powdery finish and it takes a little more work to blend evenly than most silicone primers. It also feels slightly tacky and tight until it dries down completely which may not appeal to some but becomes unnoticeable after foundation is applied. Not sure that I will use this in the cooler months when my skin gets drier but this is a great t-zone option for me in warmer weather.
I only had a small sample (i.e. I can not review price or package) of this and I just used it, because I figured on the hottest day of the year it's a good day to wear a primer.
Let me just say that if you have even remotely dry skin, this is NOT the primer for you. It definitely mattifies your skin, but it sucked out all the moisture in my combo skin and crusted almost immediately around the corners of my mouth, etc. My face feels almost as tight as it does with a clay masque on. I don't think makeup will apply evenly over this because of how much moisture it sucked away.
On top of that, it is exceedingly heavy in texture, difficult to spread evenly and thinly, and I imagine if you're acne prone it would clog you immediately.
If you have very oily skin, this may be a good product for you, but if you have combo, dry, or sensitive skin, I would advise to stay away from it.
AMAZING! I have nothing but good things to say about this product. First off I have really oily skin and other primers I have tried just didn't work. (Mary Kay, too faced etc). I came across this product while browsing through sephoras primers online. I do not recommend this primer for DRY skin. It makes your face tight for a little bit and it actually sucks the oil off your face. It does feel a bit drying but it leaves you matte for a long time. My skin was matte all day-- except my forhead but that's another story. If you have oily skin get this! It is beyond amazing!! :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
If you have very OILY skin all over than you will probably love this. However, not everyone who likes a matte finish has extremely oily skin, like myself. I have combination skin and this stuff is way too drying for me to use all over. I only apply this to my t-zone and I use very little. It does a good job at diffusing pore size but it has a tendency to adhere to imperfections and emphasizes them.
Do not "rub" this primer to apply it. It's very thick and you have to use a patting motion for it to look it's best. It leaves a white cast if you use too much or if you have a tan/deep skin tone.
The packaging is worth mentioning as well. It's a squeeze tube made of a very thin plastic. Since the product itself is so thick you have to squeeze harder than you would normally. Because of this the tube creases badly which looks bad but also becomes a problem when you're on your last bit of product and can't get it out.
After reading numerous reviews and articles advertising this primer I decided to splurge on what seemed to be a useless product (I think primers are a waste of time and $$)
NOT ANYMORE! This is a definite must have for the days I wear foundation and pressed powder. I'm still testing its mattifying wonders on bare, non-foundation skin and so far, so good.
Applied makeup routine at 10 am, took a sweaty NYC subway mid July and ran around on time constraint to different stores, while working a restaurant job up until 12 at night! Although I did touch up my pressed powder around 6pm, not once did I pull out my many blotting papers that I so dearly hold close to my heart-- winning!
4 lippies for having just bought this amazing primer. I will return after a few more uses and re-review to see if I break out or get "immune" to the formula.
The trick is to squeeze out small drops on your finger and DAB, NOT SMEAR on areas of your face that are the oiliest (for me, that's my entire face). Very little goes a long way!
