Still Life Stills Features: Festive FlavoursEveryone has their own idea of what is festive to them, I was going to feature just one flavour but there are so many i could not decide. What counts as festive varies greatly depending on family traditions, culture, taste and smell. This is what is festive to me. Chestnuts, peppermint, chocolate, orange, cranberry, cinnamon, mince pies, rum, brussel sprouts, stuffing, cheese and crackers, pickled onions, cheesecake and pigs wrapped in blankets. All these foods are a combination of my families tastes over the years rubbing off on me. What is festive for you?
Still Life Stills Features: LEGOLEGO, fun for all ages!In 1949 Lego began producing the now famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks" The bricks, were a development of traditional stackable wooden blocks that locked together by means of several round studs on top and a hollow rectangular bottom. The blocks snapped together, but not so tightly that they required extraordinary effort to be separated. The bricks however, still had some problems from a technical standpoint requiring the right material and design needing to be found. In 1958, the modern brick design was developed and was patented on 28 January that year. Bricks from that time are still compatible with today's current bricks.full Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego

Probably my last feature for a while...Hi guys and gals and everyone else that can read this!To my watchers: I hope that you have found many great artists unknown by my features and that you have enjoyed watching them.I certainly did! The features were chosen from my deviantWATCH messages so basically every feature had been a part of my inbox! I follow a few groups and a lot of artists so if I don't get online for a couple of days it takes me hours to clear my inbox again. Usually I just pushed the x in the corner and look at the bigger picture if the thumbs I saw appealed to me and that is basically how I did my features. When I saw many pictures of the same theme: that would be the theme of my next feature. Anyways this time the theme of my feature is squared pictures!

This page contains Skuljagger: Revolt Of The Westicans Glitches for Super Nintendo called "99 lives" and has been posted or updated on Oct 20, 2007 by mattress. Let us know what you think of this Glitch by thumbs voting.
- Developer: Realtime Associates
- Publisher: American Softworks
- Genre: Action Platformer
- Release Date: Not Set
- ESRB: Not Set
99 lives
Lose all your lives except the final one (so it says Player x 1 at the top). Make sure you are holding 0 red and 0 green jewels. Get to the end of and level, but do not grab the giant blue gem. Wait until an enemy gets close and jump. Time your jump so that you collide with the enemy and the ending gem at the exact same time. Your lives will then say Player x 0 but you will perform the level ending pose. You will move onto the next level without dying. The next time you die, your lives will change from 0 to 99.
This will only work if you are on your last life. This happes because the counter goes down the instant you collide with an enemy, but you are not called dead by the game until you fall through the floor. If your counter says 0 when you fall, you get game over, but if you are already on 0, it automatically starts the count at 99.

2-year-old shot in Tacoma road rage incident | KREM 2 News | KREM.com | When it Matters Most | Northwest News
Road rage is always ugly.
2-year-old shot in Tacoma road rage incident
by TRICIA MANNING-SMIWTH / KING 5 News
TACOMA, Wash. A 2-year-old child was shot Sunday afternoon in what police are saying was a road rage incident.
Police say the incident occurred at about 2 p.m. on E. 56th St.
Police say the girl was riding with her parents when her parents believed another driver cut them off. Her father reportedly retaliated, and cut off the other vehicle.
"Then the second driver fired a handgun into the vehicle, striking a 2-year-old, who was sitting in a car seat in the back seat of that vehicle," said Mark Fulghum of the Tacoma Police Dept.
Police say the second driver took off.
The family drove away and got into a fender-bender.
The Tacoma Fire Department confirmed that they responded to the scene and transported the injured girl to the hospital, where she is recovering.
"All we have is a vague description of the driver of the vehicle described as a Pacific Islander, male, possibly Samaoan, and driving a black Ford Explorer, brown trimmed," said Fulghum.
No information on the license plate is available.
All of this happened on what police say was the little girl's second birthday.

Status NULL, Location PVG?
Friday, June 14, 2013 7:12 AM ReplyWhen tracking my package, now this appears and I don't know what this means.
The last update was "departure from outward office - location 20110600" and was all normal, but now I'm not sure what this STATUS NULL and Location: PVG means.
It appears with the date of June 6th, so its been a week on that status.
Thanks for any info on this. -
Friday, June 14, 2013 8:59 AM ReplyPVG is the shipping code for Shanghai Pudong International Airport (IATA: PVG, ICAO: ZSPD) the NULL part with PVG typically means the package has left China customs(aka 'Outward office') and is waiting allocation of cargo space at the airportResistance is futile-give in to DX gadget craving!
also a voluntary mod-be nice please!
Have an enquiry? https://cs.dx.com/ticket/index
Friday, June 14, 2013 12:23 PM ReplyHi, just read what matrix-neo said.
And you can see that status as "departure from outward of office exchange" ( left china )
You will get your package soon, belivie me. It also happend to me. -
Friday, June 14, 2013 1:55 PM ReplyThanks everyone!
The NULL part was what worried me.
Now I'll rest easy and wait.
Thanks again. -

I like to mix both beans and rice together for great tasking stuffed Anaheim peppers. The flavor of these two ingredients compliment each other nicely while turning the peppers into a filling, hardy meal.
You can use almost any type of beans to make this stuffing mixture, though navy beans are my favorite. You can also use white rice or brown rice.
All you have to do is cook both the beans and the rice separately, then mix them together to prepare them for peppers. Sprinkle the rice and bean mixture with the spices of your choice. Cilantro and cumin are spices that give this dish a lot of zing.
Finally, stuff the mixture into the peppers, then put them into the oven to bake until they are golden brown on top.

The night Dan Hardy finally broke his four-fight losing streak, he celebrated by going home and sitting on the couch. It was a short drive from the MGM Grand, where he knocked out Duane Ludwig at UFC 146, to his home in Las Vegas. He stopped and picked up some sushi on the way. Then he enjoyed it alone, there on his couch, where he could finally breathe a sigh of welcome relief. "It was nice," Hardy told MMAjunkie.com. read news >>

Onetime UFC title challenger Dan Hardy makes no attempt to hide how difficult it's been to cope with four-consecutive octagon losses. However, he also makes no attempt to hide how good his life still remains. "To be honest, every day is a little bit surreal for me," Hardy recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio.

Nice clean rooms.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice and convenient"
Needed a place to stay on short notice and got a very good deal through hotels.com! The hotel was very nice, new, convenient and comfortable. Would definitely consider staying there next time we're in the Dallas area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
There was a wet towel in the shower but other than that the room was excellent, I would stay in your hotel again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Best stay"
This hotel was very nice. We took the shuttle to the side-kicks indoor soccer game. The driver was really nice! The staff at the front desk were also very friendly and very informative about the services at the hotel. Hotel was clean and nice!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convenient to our event location"
Very good except that the toilet stopped up twice in two days. However, the staff quickly corrected the problem both times.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stay away from the Breakfast Buffet"
The breakfast buffet was terrible, the chef was rude, don't waste your money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Orientation of the property resulted is freeway noise. After a while, you do become immune. The property is poorly constructed: you can hear adjacent rooms and hallway traffic. Worst: the non-smoking property (large reason I choose a property) does not enforce its policy. Our neighbors were burning it up all night -- after their noisy children finally […] quit running around and squealing. Once reported, they moved the smoking to the bathroom. Our bathroom didn't have an exhaust vent (another negative), so I'm not sure of the logic. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"September wedding"
The hotel was recommended to us by our brother-in-law. The wedding we attended was just six miles from the hotel and their house was five miles north. We found that for our travels that the location was perfect. Easy access to Dallas and simple directions to and from the airport. The staff was friendly and very helpful in any and all requests or needs […] that we had. The hotel itself was great for our needs and it was clean, quiet and comfortable. Good job Hilton staff.

"Home away from home"
My family and I stayed there for two days...it was like home away from home. We felt safe and comfortable our entire stay. Our room was very clean and cozy. We will definately stay there again if we ever get back to Allen, TX.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location-Allen Pk softball fields & shopping"
I stayed in room 212. The room is very cute and spacey. In great condition and would love to stay at this hotel when we come back. (The only problem with room 212, is the view is literally the back of a large hotel air conditioning or electrical unit. The room is eye level with a connecting roof, so a maintenance man could literally be standing at your […] window. Not a view to have at all. I suggest trying to get a higher floor or request a room that faces the front of the hotel. The hotel is very close to Allen Park which we were attending a softball camp there. Great shopping and eating across the freeway! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to the office where I worked."
Good service and accomodated me with one free breakfast. Thanks.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Mostly good"
This place is fairly good. Room was clean and comfortable. Hotel is convenient. Things I didn't like....no breakfast (one is available, no menu but $$ per plate, not a value!)...cleaning staff was noisy...location of parking versus entrance/elevator was inconvenient. Might consider staying here again but would likely pay a slightly higher rate for a […] place with breakfast. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
THE HOTEL IS VERY NICE AND CLEAN. OUR ROOM WAS WONDERFUL AND EVEN THOUGH IT OVERLOOKED THE HIGHWAY IT WAS NOT LOUD. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THE BREAKFAST WAS PRICED TOO HIGH. I STAYED AT A HILTON IN LOS COLINAS 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS 5.00 CHEAPER. SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE ROOM PRICE. WILL STAY WITH YOU AGAIN.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK but there are better options"
1. Air conditioning makes lot of noise 2. Hotel near the freeway so you can hear lot of noise 3. Breakfast is not included (I think). You do not know if you need to pay for it or not. Sometime they charge and sometime they don't 4. Didn't like pillowsGenuine Expedia guest review
"Convention Trip"
The first thing about my experience was that the room was cold but the temp read 72 degrees. We had to se it to 78 in order to feel comfortable. I think the controller was not calibrated. Next I noticed the in the shower that the grouting was not clean.. After our first night and we returned to the room the Ice Bucket was not dumped, no new glasses […] and Toilet Paper was not loaded. That evening I went to take a soak in the outdoors Spa and I almost fell getting into it. The entry steps are not done properly. When seated on the ledge, you would sit higher than I expected, over 1/2 your body out of the water. The water temp was not high enough for my liking. When I went to get out of the Spa I again had trouble because of the poor design of the entry/exit steps. I think this will my first and last visit to this hotel at this location.

The hotel was acceptable. The breakfast left something to be desired.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to ranger stadium"
Bed was lumpy, tv didn't work at first, wifi Internet had a problem for a while.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good, clean hotel..."
Hotel was clean, employees very friendly, only complaint was wife is allergic to feather pillows so if you have that allergy make sure you request foam pillows when you book room. Overall, nice stay for one night. Would definitely book again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This is my second stay. Enjoyed both stays.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family time"
The hotel was very nice and the room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable my only problem is the pool was VERY dirty and my daughter couldn't hardly swim in it the eating area was too small and crowded and we couldn't get breakfast because there was nowhere to sit so we got breakfast elsewhere also they don't tell you upfront that they […] charge a $30 fee to your card if anything happens to the room I was very disturbed by that regardless if I get it back or not I would like to be aware that you are putting it on my card the time of my check in other than that we enjoyed our stay and would come again Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
On one of the 5 days we stayed at the hotel, I contacted the front desk at noon and requested our room to be cleaned up for we were leaving for the day. When we returned at 11:30 PM, the room still wasn't cleaned, bed wasn't made, towels weren't replaced, etc... Place is a bit too busy on weekends! No newspapers available on weekends...Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Room; Quiet, clean and bed was so comfortabl"
I will surely book a stay with you again. Was very pleased with everything. I would only ask that a complimentary breakfast accompany the room fee.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
2nd time we've stayed here for softball tournaments. Clean, inexpensive and convenient. Always a wonderful experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
"It close to the hwy"
Two things you hope for... A good bed and a chance to watch a movie in it. This hotel had neither. Service nice and friendly...restaurant overpriced and breakfast not great. The positive is its right off the highway but I won't return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient Hotel"
We had an enjoyable stay at the Hilton. We have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions and have always been well satisfied.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Adjustable Bed Warning"
Our stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Dallas-Allen for a football event was really nice. The only dissappointment was how hard the bed was. After traveling 7 hours from Memphis to Dallas in a car, I was really looking forward to the pleasant sleep experience I always received in the past with Hilton. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the new adjustable […] beds that were in place and thus had the hardest best in the world. I noticed the information as I checked out the next day. I mentioned to the front desk clerk that maybe they need a standing display that mentions this near the elevator or in larger view at check in. She said that I was not the only person who was not aware of the change. She also mentioned that there was suppose to be some type of information on your bed as you arrive in the room. I explained that my room did not contain this information. I will continue to stay at Hilton Brand Hotels, but suggest that maybe this be mentioned by the front desk clerk as part of their welcome during check in. Everything else about this facility was outstanding! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"King w/ Whirpool."
Overall, the hotel was pretty good. Was a bit surprised that I had to pay for my breakfast instead of recieveing a free one, but oh well. Big selling point of the room was the whirlpool, thinking I'd get the chance to unwind in there for a bit, but was severely disappointed when only one of the jets worked in the tub. Overall, would stay here again, […] just not in one of the same rooms. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for a business stay"
The Hilton Garden Inn was a great place to stay. I was on business, but I would recommend this hotel for either business or leisure. The staff and room were great. It's location is very convenient (right off I-35) to shopping and there are many restaurants close.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"75 in front of Hotel- close to all + shopping mall"
Confortable Hotel. I had a wonderful stay of 3 days. Recommand it. The outside pool was heated!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very clean and comfortable!"
I love this Hotel. They even charged me after I had already paid expedia, but, have remedied the situation, and were highly apologetic. This Hotel is located close to many North Dallas attractions, like the Allen Outlets. I just felt like it was clean and comfortable.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hilton Garden Inn Dallas-Allen Thank you for your recent stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Allen. You business is very important to us. Also, thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback. We strive hard to satisfy every guest, every time. I do hope to see you back soon at our location.

About the Book
This book is enhanced with content such as audio or video, resulting in a large file that may take longer to download than expected.
The enhanced e-book includes exclusive video and is drawn from interviews, declassified U.S. Army documents, personal photos and mementos, a survivor's diary, a rescuer's journal, and original film footage. Lost in Shangri-La recounts this incredible true-life adventure for the first time. Mitchell Zuckoff reveals how the determined trio—dehydrated, sick, and in pain—traversed the dense jungle to find help; how a brave band of paratroopers risked their own lives to save the survivors; and how a cowboy colonel attempted a previously untested rescue mission to get them out.

Lisa McGirr: The New Suburban Poverty
Lisa McGirr is a professor of history at Harvard and the author of "Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right."
In many of America's once pristine suburbs, harbingers of inner-city blight — overgrown lots, boarded up windows, abandoned residences — are the new eyesores. From the Midwestern rust-belt to the burst housing bubbles of Nevada, California and Florida, even in small pockets of still affluent regions like Du Page County, Ill., the nation's soaring poverty rates are visibly reclaiming last century's triumphal "crabgrass frontier." In well-heeled Illinois towns like Glen Ellyn and Elgin, unkempt, weedy lawns blot the formerly manicured, uniform and tidy landscape.
The Brookings Institution reported two years ago that "by 2008 suburbs were home to the largest and fastest growing poor population in the country." In the previous eight years, major metropolitan suburbs had seen poverty rates climb by 25 percent, almost five times faster than cities. Nationwide, 55 percent of the poor living in the nation's metropolitan regions lived in suburbs.
To add insult to injury, a new measure to calculate poverty — introduced by the Census Bureau just last year — darkens an already bleak picture: nationally, 51 million households had incomes less than 50 percent above the official poverty line, and nearly half of these households were in suburbs.
Why is poverty soaring in the suburbs? Part of the answer, according to the Brookings Institution, is simple demographics: More Americans live in the suburbs, so there are more poor people there, too. But the recent downturn has also had an outsize impact on suburbs, with the decline in certain categories of jobs and an end to the housing boom that drew many urbanites and immigrants to the suburbs in the first place....

Best soil mix for an Arrowhead Vine in a self-watering planter?
There is an arch above my living room which I would like to decorate with several Arrowhead Vines, but I have very little experience with houseplants and I need some advice before I even attempt to pot them. Since the area is somewhat out of reach, I purchased three large self-watering planters to limit the frequency at which I'll have to break out the step stool to water the plants. (I read that I will still need to water them from above on occasion even though there is a reservoir, though I'm not sure how often I should do this.) The planters are those Mayne Fairfield window boxes that are mostly intended for outdoor use, and since houseplants don't seem to be a common application for this type of planter I'm wondering if the reservoir/trough watering style might effect which type of potting mix would be best. Should the capillary action which will allow water to soak upward from the bottom of the planters be a factor in selecting a potting mix, or is the ideal potting mix for Arrowhead Vines the same regardless of whether or not they receive most of their water from the surface? And what is the ideal mix? Also, the instruction packet for the planters also recommends using a layer of lightweight filler in the bottom third of the planter, beneath the actual potting mix, "to encourage faster root growth down into the troughs." Anyone have an opinion about which filler material might work best for an Arrowhead Vine growing in this type of planter?
Thanks so much for any advice!
Sorry, but if you're new to Houseplants, self-watering pots may not be a good way to start.
What made you choose that particular plant if I might pls. ask?
Do you know they can be grown in just water?
Pls. do some research on this first, you may wish to re-think your plan.
I don't wish to rain on your parade, but without seeing all these individual components, it's hard to see how you'll manage this. The window boxes sound large, likely to get very heavy, I haven't seen lots of lush looking arrowhead plants (Syngonium), hard to picture how it'll fill in.
Maybe someone else can visualize this better than I, sorry.
Thanks for your response. I chose the Arrowhead Vine because I saw it mentioned on a lot of "Easiest Houseplants for Beginners" lists, and because I read that it does well in low light. These plants will be on an arch between two large windows, but they will be about 12 feet away from each window and we have solar screens which prevent the room from ever getting very bright. I also considered Heart Leaf Philodendron, but got the impression after some research that it was a little pickier about it's light requirements. Until I read your comment I wasn't aware that the Arrowhead Vine had a growth habit that might look awkward in a windowbox... I just assumed from the word "vine" that it would fill in pretty quickly. Do you think Heart Leaf Philodendron might be a better choice in this situation? The window boxes are large, but since I will be standing on a ladder to refill the reservoir, I don't expect to need to move them around once they're up there. I also just discovered this soil mix sold by Gardener's Supply Company which is made specifically for self-watering containers: http://www.gardeners.com/Self-Watering-Container-Soil-Mix/33-819,default,pd.html
It has great reviews, but I'm still reading through them to see if anyone mentions whether houseplants do well in it...
"12 feet away from each window and we have solar screens which prevent the room from ever getting very bright." This doesn't sound like enough light for growing anything, IMHO.
All of these kinds of plants have aerial roots that will adhere to your wall, making the discussion a moot point unless someone knows of other really low-light dangling plants that aren't vines and/or have aerial roots.
i grow a lot of my houseplants on water-wicks for self-watering. the main rule is that about 40-50% of soil mix should be perlite. self-watering containers are an excellent choice for most plants that do not like to dry out. syngonium is one of those.
i looked at the link you provided and looked thru 100 or so of reviews (almost a 1000 reviews, mostly excellent) - people who have used this product for sev years seem to like it a lot. the label does not state specific percentages in the mix, except stating sphagnum peat/vermiculate/perlite. however in the instructions on sef-watering containers they provide a recipe for mixing your own. and in that recipe 50%/50% sphag peat/perlite is used. so i would think that their mix follows the same recipe and should be fine.
as far as placement of your planters, it would be nice to get a pic of the area. 12' from the windows is a bit far, unless you have very very large windows.
it is not clear where you are putting your planters: is it a build-in ledge? the planter, especially with water added will be heavy and not easy to move for maintenance.
how large is it?
as far as air-roots, perhaps some sort of trellis attached to the wall will help.
when plant is young it will remain in a clump. i am not sure how long it takes to produce mature growth that will be a vine.
once you plant in self-watering container you'll still need to water the plant from the top for a couple of months until the roots spread thru the mix and start wicking. so plan to get on that ladder a lot in the beginning, unless you plant very densely with roots filling the mix right away.
Here is a link that might be useful: nice article
Petrushka that information was so helpful! Thanks so much for taking a look at the link for the soil mix and weighing in. I went ahead and ordered three bags of it based on your assessment. I have three 3-foot plastic window boxes that I will place side by side across the ledge. They will definitely be heavy once full, but the reservoir is refillable from the top so hopefully I can just use a watering can to do that and it won't be necessary to move them. The ledge is simply a visual divider between by living room and dining room which both have 2-story ceilings, so there will be open space on both sides of the planters as well as lots of open space above them. While I know I'm pushing my luck with 12 feet between them and a light source, there are large windows on both sides of the ledge (a large one in the dining room and two on the opposite wall in the living room), so at least they will have light coming in from both directions. There is also a very large wall-sized mirror on my dining room wall adjacent to that window, and my walls and ceiling are a pale cream color so that all helps reflect natural light and make the room a little brighter. To give you a better idea of how much light I'm working with, throughout the day it stays light enough near the ledge that one could read comfortably without switching a light on, but there are never any spots of concentrated light on the walls at any time during the day... It is all very filtered (and dim enough to feel slightly gloomy, so I always have lamps on when I'm in there even though I can see fine without them.) After doing some more research I'm now leaning toward buying Philodendron hederaceum (which I had thought was called Philodendron scandens until I read more of that very informative blog you linked to!) instead of the Syngonium I originally asked about. The sunlight issue is my biggest concern at this point, but I've been encouraged by several anecdotes about P hederaceum thriving in conditions even dimmer than mine, so I'll give it a shot (and probably have my husband remove the solar screen from the dining room window for an extra light boost). Cautiously optimistic!
I want to cheer you on because I love a cool project like this. I think if folks saw a pic of where you're going to put this, a suitable plant could be found, especially if your optimism about the light level is confirmed. Aerial roots are the wrong way to go though.
Heart-leaf Philo is exactly the wrong thing. Is less than optimal light, it will have very distant nodes, not providing a 'full' look without redirecting the tips often. Without reinventing the wheel, this has been discussed and I've shown pics of aerial roots attaching to walls and other objects in a very short amount of time.
I thought PG was onto something with the just water, maybe with leca stones?
It is already dark here in Houston but I will try to snap a pic and post it tomorrow! It's so kind of you all to brainstorm with me. In the meantime, here's another beginner question... I know houseplants are generally able to convert some artificial light, like florescent light, into energy. I usually keep some lights on in the living room during the day, but the bulbs are all LEDs. Any chance the light from these bulbs would be at all appreciated by my plants?
I'm not convinced the aerial roots are a problem. My Pothos don't attach to the wall & climb.
Respectfully disagreeing w/ PurpleinOpp, I don't think that light is all that dim. I grow Aglaonemas more than 12 ft from the window, they do fine along w/ Sansevierias.
I'd like to suggest you stop working the set up & Google some images of the plants you're suggesting. Study the pix to see what the plant's growth habit is. Example: even tho' you've said you've changed your mind abt Syngoniums, searching images of them yield pots looking full, not hanging, so I'm unclear why you thought that.
I'd think several large pots of Pothos could work here, again a picture would SURE help here, just to see the space & location you're planning to use.
Pls. know I'm not trying to bust your chops here, rather trying to ensure your experience will be more successful, not less.
there's lots more to read about syngonium/philos and golden pothos too (epipremnum) on exoticrainforest site - very detailed info, though growing conditions are not the same as in our homes - it's a giant atrium.
syngoniums are usually sold young - in bushy pots. mature growth becomes a vine - and looks quite different.
with 2story large rooms light should not be a problem at all.
i assume you have windows up on the 2nd tier too? that will provide loads of light, incomparably more then just 1 floor room.
led lights can be used as supplemental lighting, but they have to be farely close to the plants.
perhaps you can even combine sev diff plants together for a lush tropical look?
Here is a link that might be useful: exoticrainforest on philos
I've not given Pothos (Epipremnum) a chance to be near a wall, but the aerial roots on that do not ever elongate, that I've seen, unless/until they reach soil/water. It hadn't been mentioned before in this discussion. Heart-leaf Philo is a different story.
I also thought Tradescantia zebrina would be fantastic for this setup, but am not sure if LoBro wants dangling, vine-type plants or upright. Callisia repens would probably work well too. If the pots are above head-level, non-dangling plants wouldn't be very visible.
No way for us to really know about the light from the description. I think I'm having trouble picturing the whole thing. If it's enough for chosen plant(s,) they will look fine. If it's not enough light, plants will not look good. I've not read anything about the spectrum of light in LED bulbs.
This plant is a good example. While outside, it grew beautifully. After being inside, about 10 feet away from windows for a 3 months, the nodes are drastically elongated, vines are attached to the wall. I don't think this is the look anyone wants.
Hi all. It was a cloudy day here yesterday which made my living room even dimmer than usual, so I waited until today to snap pictures. I posted them on a new thread since the subject has changed from soil mix to light adequacy:

Back in New York, where Hollender is coordinator for art and illustration at The New York Botanical Garden, she submitted her five rare plant illustrations (the four Hibiscus drawings and the mint, known as Stenogyne kauaulaensis) to the juried show, a project of the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA).
Among the endangered species featured in the exhibit are some of the most intriguing plants you'll probably never see: the pima pineapple cactus, the ghost orchid, the longolongo, the tupa rosada, and Begonia samhaensis. Their respective native habitats are equally captivating: Mexico's Sonoran desert grasslands, the Florida Everglades, Fiji, Chile's temperate rain forests, and Yemen's wind-scorched Socotra islands.
The artists who captured these plants in ink, paint, and colored pencil were required to search for their own subjects. Any plant was acceptable as long as it was listed as threatened or endangered by a state, federal, or international government body or the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

This rug was not at all what I expected. The dots are multicolored within each dot, not solid colored design as it looks in the picture. Colors are much more muted/dull. The picture was vibrant and lively but the actual carpet was not. I sent it back.
I have four dogs (& watch 2 others on a regular basis) and have always had a very nice wool area rug - however having to replace it every year was getting expensive - so i decided to try an indoor/outdoor that i could hose off if and when any one of my dogs had an accident. I always thought of indoor/outdoor rugs as really scratchy but this is soft enough to walk on barefoot. I used a really thick rug pad to add cushion and make it appear more expensive than it is. Someone mentioned that the circles weren't solid in color - half of the circles are and the other half look like a series of dots to make up the circle. If you look at this rug from a distance you can see the variation in shades of color. This rug works with my contemporary pieces as well as with my antique pieces. This is a great rug - so glad i purchased it.
We bought this rug when I turned our formal dining room into a playroom for my two children. I needed something that was playful enough (and durable enough) for a playroom, but still attractive, since you see it from the front door, living room, and kitchen. This fits the bill perfectly. It brightens up the whole room and I have gotten complements from everyone who's seen it. My kids love the bright circles and come up with all kinds of fun games to play with them! And you can't beat the price!
Love this rug, it was a great choice for my daughters playroom. The rug is soft and the colors are nice and bright. was cautious about choosing a cheaper rug but really happy with this purchase!
Overall, the quality of the rug met my expectations; though the colors were not quite as vibrant as I thought they would be based on the picture, particularly the background beige color is a darker in person. Still I am satisfied and it looks nice.
This rug is high quality and very stylish. The colors are vibrant and true to the photo. Maybe a bit darker but still bright. I love this rug and highly recommend it!
This rug has been perfect in our sunroom. It cleans up great! It has made it through dog accidents and children's muddy feet without staining!
I love the pattern but the colors are too blah. From the photo i thought it was a bit more vibrant for my daughter's room. The quality is fine except the corners stay turn edup and we trip on it a lot
I love the funky design. It would work well in a room that incorporates any of the colors in the rug. It's not an overwhelming rug either. I've had it for 2 years and it has held up well however it doesn't get a lot of foot traffic because it's under a table.
I bought this rug more than two years ago when we bought our first house. It is in our living room�a high traffic area for us�and still looks great. I love the style of the rug as well. I get compliments on it all the time. I recently sold some living room furniture, and the people wanted to buy the rug too when they came to pick up the furniture!! Some of the reviewers noted issues with the colors matching, but I found it to be exactly as advertised. It gives a splash of color without the colors being overwhelming.

RALEIGH (AP) -- A state House ethics panel plans to hold an investigative hearing of Rep. Thomas Wright next week after a judge agreed to delay his upcoming criminal trial.
The ethics committee met Monday, less than an hour after a Superior Court judge granted a request by Wright's attorney to provide more time to prepare for trial.
Wright faces fraud and obstruction of justice charges for his handling of more than $350,000 in campaign donations, loans and charitable money. A new trial date has not been set.
The delay means the legislative panel can meet March 3. The trial had been scheduled to begin that day, and panel members said they would not meet if the trial was under way.
The panel is considering whether Wright acted inappropriately as a sitting legislator. It could recommend that Wright be censured or removed from office.

5 Style Boutiqueshamomofo | 18/07/2010 | See all shamomofo's reviews (1)My husband bought me this game for Christmas. A bit concerned that it was for a younger generation. No way, i am in my fifties and have not put this game down over the last 6 months. I play every day, im very keen to to succeed, i enter fashion contest's on a regular basis (walk the cat walk} finding the customer's correct fashion taste is a challenge, rewarded by a rain fall of petals if she like's what you put her in. Fun days out with customers, photo's taken of you and your models outfits if you win a show. could go on and on about this game. A must buy 10 out of 10

5 So addictiveMichelle2411 | 08/11/2009 | See all Michelle2411's reviews (1)I found this game hard to put down. Very addictive as you're building up your own little empire! Would recommend it
5 LOVE IT!shumi378 | 03/06/2011 | See all shumi378's reviews (3)Excellent game for fashion lovers! So many different items and styles of clothing. Love it!
5 Really great gameAbbafan1972 | 24/07/2010 | See all Abbafan1972's reviews (20)I really love this game. It is really addictive and I love all the clothes, some of them I wish I could wear myself! My 8 year old daughter loves it too, it really is suitable for any age. The game goes by the DS internal clock, so it follows the seasons and knows what day of the week it is. When you get your own Boutique, it can get a bit more difficult and some customers are harder to please than others. The only criticisms I have are that you are only allowed 8 characters for the name of your Boutique and also the game doesn't have a left handed option, as you hold the DS like a book, (I am left handed). Would definitely recommend this game though.

It seems like every day I learn something new regarding our LBGT history, and today is no different. There are so many individuals that have contributed to are goal towards Equality, this is just one of them.
In the New York Times, I saw the obituary for Jose Sarria, who was at times referred to as "The `Rosa Parks' of the Gay Rights Movement.
José Sarria, Gay Advocate and Performer, Dies at 90
By DANIEL E. SLOTNIK
José Sarria, a drag performer and gay rights advocate who many historians contend was the first openly gay person to campaign for public office in the United States when he ran for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1961, died on Monday at his home in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, N.M. He was 90.
The cause was adrenal cancer, said Gerard Koskovich, a friend and a spokesman for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Historical Society.
Mr. Sarria worked as a waiter and performed at the Black Cat Cafe, a gay bar in the North Beach section of San Francisco, in the 1950s and '60s. His campy satires of operas like "Carmen," performed in elaborate regalia and makeup, made him a recognizable face in the city's gay neighborhoods and a de facto community leader.
Laws against sodomy were in place throughout the United States at the time. In California, bars serving homosexuals could legally be raided and their patrons arrested.
Mr. Sarria (rhymes with Daria) helped found civic groups to fight discrimination against gay people. His frustration with the system led to his run for a seat on the Board of Supervisors, the legislative body for the city and county of San Francisco.
"I had a right to run for office," Mr. Sarria told The Atlantic in 2011. "I was angry, and I did it to prove a point."
He borrowed a suit for campaign photos and ran under the watchword "Equality!" He came in ninth out of a field of more than 30 candidates for five spots on the board and received more than 5,000 votes.
"From that day on," Mr. Sarria said, "there's never been a politician in San Francisco, not even a dogcatcher, that did not go and talk to the gay community."
José Julio Sarria was born on Dec. 12, 1922, in San Francisco. He enlisted in the Army during World War II and after the war stayed in Berlin, where he was active in theater. He returned to San Francisco in 1947 hoping to become a teacher but was arrested on morals charges that year in a public bathroom at the St. Francis Hotel. He was fined and, because of his arrest record, not permitted to teach, so he began working at the Black Cat.
Mr. Sarria helped found the League for Civil Education, a group dedicated to overturning laws that prohibited serving alcohol to gay people, in 1960; and the Society for Individual Rights, a broader gay advocacy and community group, in 1963. He worked at the Black Cat until it closed in 1963.
In 1965, Mr. Sarria proclaimed himself the first Empress of San Francisco and founded a gay rights organization called the Imperial Court de San Francisco (playing off a tradition of comically exaggerated royal titles among gay men). It became the International Court System, which now has 65 chapters (each of which elects its own empress and emperor) in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
No immediate family members survive.
Mr. Sarria did not run for office again. He was an ardent supporter and friend of Harvey Milk, who was elected supervisor in 1977, becoming the first openly gay elected official in California more than a decade and a half after Mr. Sarria's attempt. Mr. Milk and Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed on Nov. 27, 1978.

Other Sports
Stephens swamped
The pregame shoot-around was painful for sophomore guard Elisa Cash.
It was obvious to everyone in Silverthorne Arena on Tuesday night. She winced with every jump-er, repeatedly grabbing the brace around her left ankle.
Ridley carries Cougars
Rebounding, defense and balanced scoring gave the Columbia College women's basketball team a 71-61 win against Missouri Baptist University on Tuesday for the Cougars' 10th straight win.
Charliss Ridley (28 points, 10 rebounds) led the Cougars, who improved to 9-0 in American Midwest Conference. Tiffany Foote scored 21 and grabbed seven boards for the Cougars (18-7), and Lisa Kowalewski added 10 points.
Missouri sees room for improvement
Apparently, making the NCAA Regionals for the first time since 1996 was not good enough for Missouri coach Tim Jamieson last season.
This year, during the 50th anniversary season of Missouri's only College World Series title, Jamieson and his team are working for a Big 12 Conference championship.
Tigers not giving up on season
Believe it or not, Missouri believes.
Missouri had few options after a demoralizing 78-62 loss Saturday to a Nebraska team it had beaten by 21 two weeks earlier. The Tigers had two choices: keep hoping or write off the season.
Fans can't escape wrestling's appeal
I grew up in a wrestling town.
I guess that's why it came as such a shock when I came to Columbia. I moved here in the middle of wrestling season, but there was no sign of the sport anywhere in town. I didn't even know Missouri had a wrestling team that first winter.
Road victories rare in Big 12 this season
Because of parity, winning on the road in the Big 12 Conference is a difficult task.
"It's like trying to lick your elbow," Nebraska coach Barry Collier said.
Tigers relentless
Missouri turned the Eastern Illinois Panthers into kittens Sunday at Hearnes Center.
The No. 4 Tigers trounced the Panthers 45-0, recording their second shutout in a row. The Tigers beat Central Missouri State 48-0 on Thursday.
Tigers face same old problems
Missouri coach Quin Snyder hinted at it at Colorado and mentioned it again Saturday.
After alternating wins and losses for 10 games, the Tigers dropped their second game in a row Saturday, a 78-62 thrashing by Nebraska. The reasons for the loss were all too familiar: The Tigers have returned to the problems that caused them to go 0-3 to close December.
Bowers' home run highlights Tigers' win
The Missouri softball team beat Arkansas 5-3 in the last game of the Gator Invitational on Sunday in Gainesville, Fla.
Missouri led 4-0 after the first inning. Leanne Bowers, a freshman outfielder, scored two runs for the Tigers (2-3), including a lead-off home run. Heather Kunkel, Sarah Stringer and Morgan LeCluyse also scored in the first.
Tigers still unsatisfied
It was not the result that concerned Missouri coach Blake Starkey, it was the team's demeanor.
The Tigers defeated Southwest Missouri State 7-1 on Sunday at Green Tennis Center, but sluggish singles play left Starkey searching for answers.
Pulley dismissed from team
LINCOLN, Neb.- After being suspended the past two games, Missouri point guard Randy Pulley was dismissed from the team Friday.
Pulley was originally held out for missing two practices after Missouri's 83-70 loss at Colorado on Jan 28. Pulley did not attend the Tigers' home game against Kansas State on Jan. 31 and did not travel with the team to Kansas on Monday.
Marks of a champion
Lauren Schwartzman didn't eat parmesan chicken Saturday. Alisha Robinson didn't go to Burger King to pick up her grilled chicken sandwich and fries; her parents brought it to her.
Superstitious by nature, Missouri gymnasts have routines as they get ready for each meet. They did things a little differently Saturday, a night that saw the Tigers struggling to put up winning scores.
Drillmaster's work honored
Loud beats have been ringing in Rolando Barry's ears for more than 25 years.
As drillmaster of the Mid-Missouri Highsteppers, Barry has been reaching out to Columbia youth since 1979.
Huskers' 3s keep Tigers behind
LINCOLN, Neb. – When Nebraska and Missouri met in Columbia on Jan. 24, a stingy Tigers' defense shut down the Huskers' 3-point shooting.
When the same teams met for their Big 12 Conference rematch in Devaney Sports Center, the antithesis occurred.
Missouri adds to its success at Iowa State
Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum is becoming quite accommodating for the Missouri women's basketball team.
For the second straight year, the Tigers cruised to an important Big 12 Conference win on the road against the Cyclones, beating Iowa State 81-62 on Saturday in Ames.
Whitehead won't rest until national titles won
When Mike Whitehead isn't working on homework or practicing for his next match, he prefers to spend his time outdoors hunting or fishing. If he is as talented in the woods as he is on the mat, no animal is safe.
Whitehead, a senior ranked No. 13 at heavyweight, is wrestling his first and last season at Missouri. He is a transfer from Southern Oregon.
Tigers reverse trend on bars to set record
Record-breaking performances on vault, beam and floor have defined Missouri's season, but lagging scores on the uneven bars have cost Missouri two conference wins.
6 Kewpies, 3 Bruins keep seasons alive
ST. CHARLES — Although the Hickman wrestling team failed in its attempt to repeat as district champion Saturday, several wrestlers created new opportunities for themselves.
Six Hickman and three Rock Bridge wrestlers advanced to sectional tournament at Jefferson City by finishing in the top four in their weight class, and Hickman's Tony Pescaglia (112) and Zach Arnold (171) won district titles. Three Kewpies and one Bruin qualified for the sectional tournament for the first time.
Four swimmers save best for last
For some, the Last Chance Meet on Saturday at Hickman pool was the end of the season; for others, it meant a coveted place in the state meet.
The meet, which featured the Hickman, Rock Bridge and Hannibal boys' swimming and diving teams, was the final opportunity to qualify for the state meet Friday and Saturday in St. Peters.
Quick Cougars able to avoid letdown
Hangovers usually follow a night of heavy drinking or a hard-fought victory. Columbia College suffered from the latter Saturday against Hannibal-LaGrange.
"It was an ugly win," Cougars coach Mike Davis said. "That would be my synopsis of it."

I was born in Cuba in 1961 to a poor family in a poor town, mistreated because of my economic status. Discrimination, loneliness, sadness, and fear led me to a substance use disorder, but today I'm sober and have been working in the field of recovery.
It wasn't an easy ride. On March 20, 1997, I was desperate to die rather than continue living my life as an addict with no place to live or food to eat. I began praying to God, although I had never believed before in my life. That same day, I went to treatment and have been in recovery ever since.
Since I began my recovery, I enrolled in college and obtained an associate's degree in psychology, a bachelor's degree in applied psychology, and a double master's in clinical and counseling psychology. I started running, first around 200 meters, and have now run 10 full marathons and more than 20 half-marathons.
I own three homes, and I plan to start a recovery home. I also wrote and developed a treatment program, "We Can Recover," for a treatment facility. As part of Recovery Month, I was honored to be selected as the 2010 Recovery Project Delegate for the State of Kansas. None of this would have been possible, if it wasn't for the first step I made towards recovery.

A 21-year-old Lovell man is being held on $30,000 cash bail while he awaits further proceedings on a charge that he stabbed another young man in the hand last December.
After several months at large, Raymond Ortiz was arrested out of state earlier this month on a Park County warrant for aggravated assault and battery.
Citing a grim financial picture, city of Powell leaders want Park County voters to consider passing an additional, ongoing 1-cent sales tax in a special election this November.
"Why haven't we ever tried at least to put it before the voters?" Powell Mayor Scott Mangold asked Park County, Cody and Meeteetse leaders during a meeting last week.
Some of the Big Horn Basin's public lands would see increased restrictions under a draft management plan released this week for public review by the federal Bureau of Land Management.
The draft Resource Management Plan contains the BLM's preferred plan for managing millions of acres of public lands in the Basin over the next decade or two.
More than a dozen Tea Party-backed candidates were elected to Congress in last year's elections and a more conservative Republican majority took over the U.S. House. But the primary message at Friday's Big Horn Basin Tea Party rally in Cody was not one of celebrating past victories, but of fear over what the future still may hold.
"The collapse is coming," warned Rob DiLorenzo, an Emblem attorney and a co-founder of the Basin's Tea Party group. He described the national deficit — currently at $14.3 trillion — as a fast-approaching brick wall.
Two young Powell men have been charged with counts of burglary in connection with the thefts of a number of firearms and other items from a rural Powell residence last month.
Police say the thefts are loosely connected to an altercation last week where a stolen pistol allegedly was used to threaten a Powell man and fired. However, the pistol recovered in that incident is alleged to have been stolen from a different residence earlier this month.
One charged as of Monday
Powell police are continuing to investigate a Wednesday incident where a pistol was reportedly fired on West Second Street.
The only individual charged in the case as of Monday afternoon, 19-year-old Sage M. Miears of Powell, has been charged with threatening an individual with a gun, but he is not alleged to have fired the shot.
Hopes to make move in a couple months
Closing a deal some two years in the making, Powell Valley Recycling took ownership Monday of what soon will be its new, expanded location — the former Park County Road and Bridge shop.
"It's been a long time coming," said Powell Valley Recycling Manager Mary Jo Decker.
When a 7-foot inflatable rabbit was stolen off their lawn last week, Shauna Sickinger and Nicole Goubeaux didn't abandon their Easter decor. To the contrary — on the Fourth and Clark street corner where their lone Easter Bunny once stood, two replacement bunnies now stand.
"If you steal, they multiply," laughed Sickinger in a Tuesday interview, describing why she replaced the heisted hare with two more.
Seeking compromise, gas company withdraws McCullough drilling permits
Hoping to avoid a potentially complicated and drawn-out legal battle, a Denver-based gas company has withdrawn its permits for drilling a series of exploratory wells in the McCullough Peaks area.
The Wyoming Legislature passed 204 bills during its 37-day session from Jan. 11 to March 3. But it's one that didn't pass — House Bill 74: Validity of Marriages — that continues to draw the most interest, Park County legislators said Tuesday.
Speaking to the Park County Republican Women in Cody, state Sen. Hank Coe, R-Cody, said gay marriage bills consumed "an incredible amount of time" during the legislative session, that he received hundreds of daily emails on House Bill 74 and that he was still getting emails about it.
