JBL Cinema SB 350

SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System ( piano gloss)
The sleek, compact SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System sounds tremendous with movies, thanks in large part to its potent subwoofer, but lacks warmth with music.
Pricing not available
Harman Kardon Esquire Mini ( black)
The Harman Kardon Esquire Mini is a great-looking micro Bluetooth speaker that works quite well as a speakerphone, but is bass-challenged, so it isn't much of a music speaker.
Pricing not available
Sol Republic Punk ( black)
The Sol Republic Punk manages to distinguish itself from the micro Bluetooth speaker competition with better battery life, slightly louder sound with minimal distortion, a water-resistant design and longer wireless range.
Yamaha YAS-203
The Yamaha YAS-203 breaks free of most of the performance constraints of budget sound bars, sounding bigger, more spacious, more dynamic and clearer than anything near its price.
Amazon Echo
The Amazon Echo shows promise and is a bargain at its introductory price point of $99 for select Prime members -- but it's too much of a work in progress to enthusiastically recommend at its full list price.
Pricing not available
SVS Prime Tower
The SVS Prime Tower's highly transparent sound will appeal to audiophiles hankering for big-speaker sound at a price they can afford.

The Other Hangover
University of Minnesota- Twin Cities
Originally developed by students at the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, The Other Hangover campaign targets undergraduate students whose excessive alcohol consumption leads to regrettable behavior. This student generated campaign realistically depicts the important social consequences of alcohol overconsumption on students' reputations, friendships and image.
The Other Hangover campaign student lead effort was executed on the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities campus during the fall 2010 semester. The Other Hangover Final Report provides a full overview of the campaign and its impact on the campus community.
During the new phase of this project, the University of Minnesota's Boynton Health Service will lead the expansion of this successful campaign to other post-secondary institutions in the Minneapolis-Twin Cities area.

What does wisdom have to do with reading Scripture?
Here at Theology Forum, we believe the ability to read and engage theological texts in a judicial and irenic (peaceable) spirit is something to be cultivated. Far too often it seems, readings are done polemically or in ways that harm the Christian community. So, toward opening up irenic discussion and cultivating the theological craft of inquiring honesty and deliberating wisely we are starting a new series.
We will post selections from various theologians from across the spectrum, suggest some questions, and invite your interaction. The goal here is not necessarily critique, but careful reading, irenic dialogue, and the fostering of good theological habits.
'The specifically theological character of the rereading [of scripture] lies in it being done before God, in relationship with God, seeking in the Spirit to follow the purposes of God in the world and finding in scriptures inspired testimony to what all of that involves. If "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" then wisdom interpretation of scripture is done primarily with respect to and for God. The most important thing is to learn to read and reread for the sake of God and the Kingdom of God. This sort of reading is not just a skill to be mastered; it is inseparable from learning to love God, neighbours and enemies, and from transformations of life as well as mind (p. 68)'
- What is the relationship between the (re)reader of Scripture and God? Does this matter? Why?
- How are the activities of the (re)reader and God portrayed? Does one receive more emphasis than the other?
- What can Ford teach us about our reading the Scriptures- individually or corporately?

A-Rod denies PED use report; MLB investigates
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez denied a newspaper report that accused him of buying human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances from a Miami-area clinic.
A baseball official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements, said Monday that MLB did not have any documentation regarding the allegations. If MLB does obtain evidence, the players could be subject to discipline. First offenses result in a 50-game suspension and second infractions in 100-game penalties. A third violation results in a lifetime ban.
Rodriguez spent years denying he used PEDs before Sports Illustrated reported in February 2009 that he tested positive for two steroids in MLB's anonymous survey while with the Texas Rangers in 2003. Two days later, he admitted in an ESPN interview that he used PEDs over a three-year period. He has denied using PEDs after 2003.
Colon was not issuing a statement, agent Adam Katz said through spokeswoman Lisa Cohen. Sam and Seth Levinson, the agents for Cabrera and Cruz, did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
Rodriguez's cousin, Yuri Sucart, also is listed as having purchased HGH. Sucart was banned from the Yankees clubhouse, charter flights, bus and other team-related activities by MLB in 2009 after Rodriguez said Sucart obtained and injected PEDs for him.

I decided to give the Sally Wedge a shot, I figured it was a nice shoe that could be dressed up or down, the real question was... would they be comfortable. The FIRST day I wore them, approximately 12 hours, I didn't have that urge to kick them off as soon as I walked in the door. That is saying a lot. You will not regret the purchase- nice shoes with a comfy fit. Can't beat that! November 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathryn My favorite shoe Love these shoes. Can wear them all day. Run though airports ,walk without any problems I have a pair in "coconut" with a leather logo that I adore. Would love a black patent pair like these . My only wish is Tory would make them in more colors or at least let us know if any of the other wedge shoes are made on the same specs. I have not had success with some of the other wedges that I do with these. My go to shoe! November 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by alydais super-comfortable, fantastic day into night! i have coveted a pair of tory wedges for about 3 years. finally bit the bullet after i hurt my knee and could not wear my regular high heels, but still wanted to feel pretty/business-y/classy at work. i can usually wear a narrow, but these fit great (i take a 9 in the Miller thong and 8.5 in Asics tennis shoes and 9 in Asics running shoes just to give you perspective). Great with pants, sweater dresses, and jeans. November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Heidi15 Love these shoes!! Have been admiring these shoes for quite a while and finally gave in when I used a 25% off coupon. They are beautifully made and very comfortable. I've gotten many compliments on them! They go with everything from a day at work to a night out. Definitely worth every penny! October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BethyShops Quintessential TB Shoe This shoe is perfection--especially for work and travel. I own 10 or so pairs of TB shoes--all with either the 2.5 inch wedge or block mid-heel and I could run miles in them if I needed to. This style is the basic one--I just don't understand why it has been offered in only 2 colors for some time. I would love to have it in navy, chocolate brown, red, black patent and other colors--and in croc and snake textures too, please! October 16, 2014

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is common in dogs. Small breed dogs such as poodles, Yorkshire terriers and ShihTzu tend to suffer from chronic valvular disease and this leads to congestive heart failure. In large breed dogs, the problem is generally with the heart muscle and is actually called cardiomyopathy. With congestive heart failure the heart is not able to pump efficiently so the rest of the body suffers because of the heart's weakness. Many times the first indication that there… Continue reading

Separation Anxiety in Dogs – Get Help with Calming Care for Dog Anxiety and Stress
Separation anxiety is a very common behavioral problem in dogs. It comes about because the dog fears or dislikes isolation. This causes him to engage in undesirable behaviors such as excess barking or whining, inappropriate urination or defecation, destructive behaviors or hyperactivity. Typically these dogs engage in these undesirable behaviors while the owners are gone and then have an excessive and prolonged greeting when the owner returns. What causes separation anxiety? Sometimes it is caused by trauma in a young… Continue reading
Asthma in Cats
Just like their human companions, cats can suffer from asthma. It is thought that currently about 1% of all cats suffer from this condition but that number is increasing with increased environment pollution. Feline asthma, or feline bronchial disease (allergic airway disease or allergic bronchitis) is caused by a spasm of the small airways in the lungs, the bronchii. This spasm is usually caused by an allergic reaction to something inhaled and causes inflammation and swelling. This restricts the airflow and… Continue reading
Health Care for Indoor Cats
It is no surprise to find that indoor cats live longer than their outdoor cousins. Indoor cats are not exposed to weather changes, certain poisons, unfriendly dogs, certain infectious diseases or car accidents. An indoor cat may live 12 to 18 years whereas an outdoor cat may only live 2 or 3 years. Indoor cats still have challenges and health concerns that may be different from those kitties that live out doors. Indoor cats still have "cat instincts" that tell them… Continue reading

Degenerative Joint Disease in Cats
Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) is a progressive, long-term degeneration of the cartilage of the joints. DJD is common in older cats although many show no symptoms of lameness. Instead, cats frequently will have difficulty grooming, jumping up, or using the litter box. Some cats appear stiff when they walk, become very grouchy or do not wish to be touched. DJD can occur secondary to obesity, trauma, abnormal wear on the joints,or congenital joint diseases like hip dysplasia. In many cases,… Continue reading

SO I am really trying to learn more about my family name in both Italy and Chicago.
Grandfather: Sam LaMantia born 1915, I believe.
Some of his siblings: Brother John LaMantia

All Chicago, Bridgeport area originally, then Taylor Street. Not sure when they came to America or anything.

I'm new to the site, too, but I can give you a little information.
Joseph Vincent (JV) LaMantia was my grandfather. He emigrated from Termini in Sicily around 1900 when he was approximately 6 years old. His Father's name was Vincent and his mother's name was Marie Battaglia. He had a two bothers, Philip and Anthony, and one sister, Phyllis. He always lived on the South Side of Chicago--first in South Shore and then in Beverly. He had 6 children--but only one son: Joseph Vincent, Jr. He died in 1970.
JV started LaMantia Bros Arrigo Company, a produce brokerage house on South Water Market, with his older brother Phil and a friend named August Arrigo. Later, he bought out both partners and became the sole owner, but kept the name as it was. LaMantia Bros. Arrigo (LBA) grew to become the largest produce commission company in the United States. (They bought directly from the growers and sold to large grocery chains.)
Isabel Weber mentioned that she used to live across the street from some LaMantias. That was not Joseph's brother, but another Philip LaMantia, who went by the name of "PJ. "(He did live at 9231 Bell; the older brother Phil lived at 9646 Bell)) PJ was Joseph's nephew, and he was also worked at LBA as a Vice President.
There were two other LaMantias who worked at LBA, but were not directly related to JV's family (everyone thought there was a distanct relationship, but not recent): Sam LaMantia worked there. He was married to a woman named Anne and had 2 children: Dorothy Anne and Jack; and Charlie LaMantia, who was married to a woman named Margaret and had 5 children: Charles, James, William, Mary Margaret, and Susan. All of these people lived on the far South Side--further south than Bridgeport.
I know our LaMantia family had more distant relatives in the Johnstown, PA area, who were also in the produce business, but I don't know anything about them.
My mother is Anne LaMantia Arado, the second oldest of JV's children, and she married my Dad, Gus Arado, who was working at LBA when they met. My Dad worked there his entire life.
Hope this is helpful!

P.S. While in Park City, Utah some time ago, I visited a Mormon Genealogy Center and they got me a lot of census data. Very helpful and at no charge. The old census information (I was looking at the 1930s) had a lot of interesting information in it about the people. In those days, all the data was taken personally and entered by hand--much more than just name and address. If you have any of the old addresses, it would be a great resource.

Midwest Living Review
For the past 15 years, Russell Street Deli has authored locavorism in Detroit. Located on a side street on the edge of massive Eastern Market, smack in the middle of downtown Detroit, it's next to butchers, seafood vendors, and shed after shed filled with farmers. That's where the deli gets many of its ingredients. If you don't mind dining with your neighbors on top of you, and you love soup and sandwiches, you'll love this place. The signature Reuben, oozing with corned beef, freshly made sauerkraut and local Swiss, for starters, is the stuff of dreams. Ditto their soups, especially the three varieties of clam chowder, stuffed with plump, briny clams. Vegetarians and vegans get a shout out, too, noshing on tomato-basil-tofu omelets and grilled vegetable and pesto sandwiches on local artisan bread. Breakfasts are a specialty here: Waffles come with Michigan maple syrup, and the drippy egg salad sandwich is a great substitute for an omelet. The look is very diner, with exposed brick walls, butcher-block tables, paper napkins and a chalkboard menu. The look is also chock-full-of-people. Tight communal tables are jammed -- literally -- into the gritty, narrow diner, so it helps to be flexible both physically and emotionally. In the summer, lines snake out the door and down the street. In the winter, everyone just crams inside. You might end up next to a doctor, a student or a tired toddler. It's also remarkably understaffed, so come prepared with patience. The fresh ingredients, though, tend to improve everyone's mood. Russell Street Deli is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Prices are reasonable: $3.95 for a giant bowl of soup, served with bread, or $5.95 for a sandwich.

yeah it does, i'd DEFINITELY put it in the comedy, pseudo-science-fantasy, budget brit humour niche psik.
or something similar to that maybe.
no laughs in one of the books though.
Really good novels. Brilliant TV series pretty much all of it on YouTube:
Series 2 better than series 1 I think.
Friends of mine from way back when introduced me to Red Dwarf.
I OWE them.
The first two books were definitely worth it, especially laundry night for Cat in book one. I laughed for maybe an hour.
(I was eighteen at the time)
I only recently found out about books three and four, (about the same time I someone reminded me of the sixth hitchhiker book--it was the sixth, right?) and while I now have them, courtesy of the $1.04 price and free shipping via Borders (woo-hoo!), I won't say if they're any good. The Grant Naylor relationship exploded between books two and three. Which is why there's four books written by "three" people.
Even if Last Human is terrible, I still look forward to reading it.
The series was great stuff, too. Very not Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but still very funny. There's room in the world for a second funny sci-fi satire.
I have all the DVDs, and now my son watches them. And I read all the books, which I really enjoyed. However, the lack of continuity between the books and TV shows (although common enough) is a little disconcerting at times. Scenes often crop up in the books that appear in the TV shows, but within different storylines. Basically, scenes they had written (and liked) for the shows were then popped into the books, but not necessarily in the same context.
Considering the shows were a hit, they could have just novelised them, with extra bits obviously.
Anyway, they are worth a read if you like easy-reading sci-fi.
I watched several episodes of one of the early series last week and had a sudden urge to read some of the novels. I'll have to try and track them down. Good to hear someone else thinks they are definitely worth reading - thanks for the reviews, Wert.
Just read the omnibus edition of these and loved (almost) every page, so thanks for the heads-up, Wert. Unlike you I preferred the first novel, finding it funnier and more immediate where the second felt a bit too constructed, although the second did have the edge as far as the depth of its plot. I really enjoyed both the novels as a light, Christmas read in one volume.
Is it worth trying to find a copy of the third novel?
**** (out of 5 stars)

Reaping the cost of a past mistake
Thursday, January 24, 2013
School Superintendent Mike Hopkins, addressing the City Council last week about the shortcomings of East Rochester School, suggested that the cost to bring the school up to snuff will likely exceed $10 million. How much in excess of $10 million will not be known until next month, although it is worth noting that back in October, the price tag for ERS's "Option 3" was between $7.8 million and $8.7 million. That's the sort of shifting target that makes cautious taxpayers and fiscally conservative elected official nervous, and not without reason.
It is possible, of course, to comb through websites where civilized discussion between teachers, parents and members of the public includes the attributes and the drawbacks of classrooms without walls, but we would suggest that, on balance, the debate is over. Walls and common sense have won. Years ago, in fact, most open concept teachers marked off their territory with bookcases and tall filing cabinets, thwarting one of the educational theorists' goals — that of allowing children to move freely around the open space.
The cost of the mistake becomes apparent when a school, like East Rochester School, wants to rejoin the fold of traditional learning environments. It is not just the lighting systems that have to be revamped — the whole HVAC layout has to be reconfigured — heating, ventilation and air conditioning ducts will have to be replaced, which translates into major rehabilitation work. On the bright side, it may help to give the flagging local construction industry a boost, but it will certainly be reflected in property tax bills, though by how much is still uncertain, for there is a risk of price creep with this project. "Likely to exceed $10 million" is a worrisome phrase.

And then to go on to "frame latency" and "slow time periods". Never use these people as translators, to put it like that, because obviously it turns to shit in there.
Frame latency is a better benchmarking tool then FPS, because FPS averages out the slow time periods, and minimum FPS can catch outliers while hiding the latency problem. "Microstutter" on multi-GPU conflgs, for instance, is QUITE noticeable, even as FPS reaches into the hundreds.
And then to go on to "frame latency" and "slow time periods". Never use these people as translators, to put it like that, because obviously it turns to shit in there.
I think I have sufficiently solved jitter now though. Doom 3 jitter is even lower with renice (-20) + my listed tweaks. So I feel there is little to improve. It is gliding silky smooth now. No frameloss, and timing jitter is so low, that I think it should be near impossible to see. So for my part, I don`t need any numbers, and they would need to be more verbose, than the option in doom 3 anyway. But try it. You wil see a big difference, and very enjoyable smooth frames. The trick with renice can also be used with webbrowser, to have less jitter on youtube videos, etc. Where I also recommend chromium, because it has the lowest jitter to begin with.
Case solved!
Peace Be With You.
Timedemos wouldn't need any change, but there are graphs on the linked Techreport article that show vastly different frame counts. Looking carefully on page 2 you can see the same pattern of spikes in different places on all four Radeon GPUs:I believe that Doom 3 timedemos are frame-for-frame identical across machines, because delays happen always in the same frame. Moreover, timedemos always have the same frame lenght.
Using the timestamp instead of frame number for the X coordinate would make spikes caused by game content line up, while spikes caused by the process getting interrupted would not line up.
Can you define what you mean by jitter? I would define jitter as any time-varying variation between when a frame is expected to be displayed and when it is actually displayed (so, for example, a constant 33ms delay would not be jitter, but a delay that fluctuates between 0ms and 33ms would be jitter).
Basically, for a GPU:
Latency: The time it takes to create a frame
Jitter: The measure of the latency difference between two frames
You can have a very high latency with no jitter. You can also have a lot of jitter with very little latency (more noticable on 120Hz native displays).
And again, I stress Doom3 really shouldn't be showing any significant latency/jitter anyways, considering you could max the thing with a now aged 8800 GTX...

Offers a balance between moisture management and moderate level of warmth. Also provides a barrier against wind and a protection against water
The EnerBlock Cycling Jacket 2 is perfect for colder weather, as it offers a balance between moisture management, warmth and protection. The EnerBlock fabric is a 3-ply stretch knit with a polyurethane membrane and a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to provide waterproof and windproof properties, and the HeatMaxx fabric is an opaque construction with a brushed back to retain body heat. To ensure fit and comfort, the jacket has a full length reversed zip with inner flap that offers maximum ventilation and wind protection, flatlock seams that eliminate friction, stretchable cuffs that allow ease of movement and a silicone gripper at the hem that keeps it in place. Its numerous pockets with zips, plus a multimedia pocket, offer safe and practical storage.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.

Six Days of Christmas: Keeping it simple; piping hot vanilla cake fresh from oven a Dover woman's family holiday favorite
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Editor's note: This is the first story in Foster's annual Six Days of Christmas series. This year we asked readers to share with us their funniest kids' Christmas story.
About 10 years ago, Sevigny was preparing for her holiday meal. She was in line at the grocery store and saw a beautiful cake on the cover of Good Housekeeping magazine.
"I decided I would make that for Pamela," she said, deciding to forgo the tradition of sticking to what Pamela enjoys most, which is a vanilla cake, plain, hot, right out of the oven.
The cake called for melted white chocolate frosting, toasted coconut, red and green maraschino cherries, special cake flour and numerous exterior decoration pieces.
"I made the cake and it seemed to come out OK, aside from when I went to melt the chocolate," Sevigny said. "It didn't melt well, but I frosted the cake anyway."
After dinner, Sevigny set the cake down on the table, with all the guests admiring its beauty. The white cake had spears of chocolate on top that looked like Christmas trees and toasted coconut that looked like snow.
"It was absolutely beautiful and I was proud of it," she said.
Until the cake was cut.
Sevigny said she was sitting at the table watching her husband, Paul, struggle to get the first bite of cake down. He was not swallowing, but craning his neck, wincing and chugging a glass of milk.
"My daughter, Pamela, who was sitting across from him, was doing the exact same thing and they were both laughing."
After her daughter said nothing was wrong, Sevigny looked at her husband and said, "Something is wrong."
He looked up at her and said, "Have you tried the cake?"
Sevigny bit in to her masterpiece and was taken aback by its dryness.
"Oh, it was so dry! You would not even believe. You could not swallow it. Everything was dry," she said. "I still do not know why, to this day."
"It went, 'THUD!'" she said. "It sounded like a brick when it landed."
Every year since the cake fiasco, Sevigny is reminded that her daughter, Pamela, likes hot vanilla cake right out of the oven with no frosting.
"So this is what I make now. I don't do anything fancy anymore," she said. "I stick to the original recipe of a plain box cake."
Sevigny said she reread the recipe of the infamous disaster cake and is convinced that she did not miss any steps.
"I had everything it called for," she said, adding that the only mistake she knows she did was use the wrong type of white chocolate. "But I know that would not make the cake dry. I don't know, I might have overcooked it, but it didn't burn. It is a mystery to this day."
After this year's party, Sevigny will celebrate her wedding anniversary with her husband on Dec. 24 and head to her daughter Pamela's house in Vermont for Christmas.
She assured she would bring just a box of vanilla cake, no cherries or coconut this year.
"No frosting. Just hot out of the oven, cut it up and eat it," she said.

The Rolling Stones Announce Glastonbury Gig
Thursday, March 28, 2013
The Rolling Stones will headline Britain's sold out Glastonbury festival on June 29th. The band announced the concert on the festival's Pyramid stage on their official RollingStones.com website, as being part of its "50 & Counting celebrations." Mick Jagger tweeted: "Can't wait to play Glastonbury. I have my wellies and my yurt!" with Keith Richards adding: "We all had such a ball last year, and the energy between the band is so good. We can't wait to play Glastonbury, see you on a summer's day in England!"
Mick Jagger explained what needs to be taken into account when playing a stadium-type show: "Really, when you go to a big, uh, stadium show, the people that go -- the punters, as we call them -- are not really just going to hear some pristine music. It's just sort of all-'round experience. It's halfway between going to a football match and, y'know, a music show. So, it's. . . You're really looking for -- you want something to enhance the experience visually, to amplify and enhance the experience. Musicians think that's all that people want, but, I mean, I don't take their view."
Noted rock biographer Phillip Norman has recently published his new 640-page book on Mick Jagger, titled, Mick. Norman told us that apart from anything else, Jagger is singlehandedly responsible for creating the role of the modern rock frontman: "The Stones were the people who sort of wrote the book for modern rock culture. Jagger was the prototype of the man who stands in front of the band -- doesn't play guitar. His body movements become another instrument. Anyone else who came after him, they may have sounded very different -- the way they sang; their whole persona might've been different, but when it came to moving around, they had no way other to move than the way Jagger moved. And that is why I think he is just the founder of a species."

Callisia fragrans, liftoff has commenced
Ecstatic isn't enough to describe how excited I am about this new development I just noticed. Pretty sure I see them coming from 2 other sections too. Woohoo!
Purple!!! Do you have any idea of how happy I am to see you with us???YUP!
Now seriously, I will beat Olympia, you hear me right, to this plant!lol Yet another sin and I will be proud to get one too. I have never heard of this plant and now that Purple, yes you Purple have enabled me, it's all your fault.lol
I have to say you have a might gift at every plant I see you grow and my hat off to you. I don't know, too many people here have too many nice plants that I DO NOT have just yet.lol
Thanks for introducing another need to me.. I always make room for anything with the sweet smell. Heck, I was willing to give up my bed room for more!
Ok everyone..I JUST BOUGHT ONE..lol
You know, I had to have it. Thanks Purple..lol
This is a confession of my yet again another sin..lol
Thanks, Olympia!
Mike, thanks for the kind words! Oh my, I guess we should be careful what pics we show here, the responsibility is overwhelming. Ha! So you weren't kiddin about wanting one. Hope you enjoy your plant as much as I do mine. When do you expect it? FWIW, the one in the ground outside is not phased at all by the couple light frosts we've had.
Hope I'm never standing between you and a plant you want. I'd be tossed aside like a feather!
I may have to put this one on my wish-list. I don't know if I have it in me to have a hanging plant in my slanted ceiling apartment...
It's beautiful - but I can't imagine having a 5 foot hanging plant, though.
why can't plants stay small? well, that didn't sound right... I like to see them grow - I just wish that not every plant would eventually require 10" + pots to hold them (and in full sun)...
Rosey, if it helps (enables,) this plant doesn't seem to care much whether it's in sun or shade.
I said: "FWIW, the one in the ground outside is not phased at all by the couple light frosts we've had." Wrong. It just took a few days to show up. Certainly not dead, but the edges are all going crisp. The experiment with the in-ground piece is over, pulled up & potted it yesterday. Just too juicy and pretty to let it freeze...
Hey, Toni, I know, I'm so excited! I had to move this plant to the front room where I never close the blinds because the stalk was bumping in its' other spot. It's much safer now as far as NOT getting snapped off.
I don't think I fertilized this plant, it was hanging in a tree away from the others, and doesn't seem to need it. If it grew faster, well that's a scary thought, not sure I would want to encourage that.
It's on pace with what it did last year. Right after coming in, a different "thing" started coming up from the main part of this weird plant, fast enough to be noticeably different from day to day. I remember the blooms showing up right around Christmas.
They're only on the pieces directly in the soil. Anything branching off from a main stem, or dangling too far from the soil has no stalks and no sign of them forming. If most of your plant is dangling, that could be the lack of flowers. It's as if the plant knows which parts are sturdily upright enough to support a flower stalk.
This plant is seriously going to look like it's beyond human control when all of these stalks get tall. Cool. ("SO THERE" to the TC buds that all fell off!) Hahaha!
There was a point several years ago that I had a plant of similar fashion... possibly the same type... an offset which was sent to me as a gift, from a mother plant that lived outdoors year round in Texas. It never bloomed, as yours appears to be doing, but I believe I can tell you two things about it...
1. It blooms in that basket because plants that are stressed in any way... and in this case we may be talking about root space... often try to reproduce quickly to pass on their genetics, and flowering would create seed in the natural world. Being "potbound" is often enough to force a plant to flower.
2. Those "pups" hanging down would have soil access in the natural world, and would be considered offsets, or actually stolons, and much like the Spider plant, they would grow a bit away from the mother, root, and form their own colonies, thus spreading out and creating lasting genetics at the same time. In hanging, they are forced to feed off the mother plant, and don't have enough energy to flower on their own.
Such a plant type has two differing ways of reproducing. You're lucky enough to see both!
The one I had grew ungainly in size, and I didn't have anywhere to keep it in winter... so it eventually fell victim to a basement window and dogs got into and tore it to shreds.
I'm very interested in seeing what those blooms look like!
Thanks for sharing, Jodik! The flowers are miniscule but abundant, and as a whole it kind of looks like a tiny feather duster.
I'm familiar with how the stolons work. I was given a small piece of this plant about 18 months ago, and have had to give pieces away often as it grows faster than I can keep it. One has to keep an eye on those or they will take root in other pots. It's an invasive house plant. Ha!
Meshing what you said (excellent point #2) with what I've observed, I think it's safe to say that unrooted stolons don't produce flowers. These are damaged by frost, which would likely hit just about the time the flowers are being formed if your weather was similar in TX.
I do disagree with the potbound-causes-blooms thing though, in general with the exception of some plants, and in particular to this one. The mama plant was repotted with the roots trimmed to tiny nubs this spring, and the other plant with the flower stalk is a cutting I stuck in that pot in June or July. I unpotted both before coming inside for winter to see if they were in need of repotting before spring. The part that bloomed last winter was the original, just-rooted-that-spring cutting. Both are growing foliage at an almost ridiculous rate, as well as the flower stalks.
There should be plenty of days warm enough to take these outside while the flowers are open. Maybe I can get some seeds this time if the flowers get pollinated.
This is a pic of the flowers it made last time.
Those ARE interesting blooms! Thanks for sharing!
In that case, I would say that the plant has gotten the right combination of nutrition, light, and temperature... enough to induce it into budding for you! Either way, it looks great!
My point was, mainly, that many plants will bloom as a result of being potbound... and often, this kind of stress is the cause. Not always, though, as you have ensured it has ample root room.
Sometimes, it's simply a case of all the right things aligned that cause a plant to bloom... and nothing negative.
Actually, those flowers remind me of a shrub I've seen... can't think of the name...
Those flowers are the cutest things!
Mine was floppy and weak when it arrived, but now had stiffen up quite a bit. I think it may have gotten very cold in transit and is now satisfied with its new surroundings!
Sheesh, from the sounds of it, it is as if I am growing a first class very fragrant weed..lol
This thing better not get that big, or it will wind up like Jodik's did, only without the dog to be replaced by the cat instead...Lol. If I wanted to let him have a field day, this plant would certianly fit the bill with its lon stolons...lol
Jodik, does it remind you of the 'winter hazel' bush?
Witch Hazel! Thanks, Mike! I knew someone would think of it, or something close to it! I do believe it's similar to what's commonly known as Witch Hazel, maybe.
I actually got the original plant as a division, and it grew so fast that I potted it up to about a 2 gallon sized pot. I kept it outside during nice weather, and just didn't have anywhere to keep it for winter... so it had to sit on a table in the basement. Unfortunately for me, a young litter of pups, not mine, also were relegated to a pen in the basement, and they broke out and destroyed everything. What a mess.
I no longer keep personal items where they can be messed with... or, at least, I try not to. As long as everything I own can be upstairs, I'm okay. And I'm short on room.
Mike, good luck with your plant although I don't even think it's necessary with this one.
Jodik, so sorry about your plant!! Have you seen Fothergilla? These blooms kind of look like those to me too.
"the right combination of nutrition, light, and temperature"
"...a case of all the right things aligned that cause a plant to bloom..."
IKR, the mysterious magic!! For something like Sans, it does seem to be a mystery but from what I've seen of this plant, it just needs lots of light and a piece directly rooted. I don't mean to be disagreeable and appreciate your input very much. The potbound thing just doesn't make sense to me, the desperation thing just isn't logical when concluded to its' end. In nature, there are no boundaries resembling the confines of a pot, and blooming plants do their thing reliably at the normal time annually (assuming sexual maturity.) To the potbound Sans or AV, it seems one could say it just matured enough to bloom. Baby oaks don't make acorns. The "conditions met" thing makes much more sense, even if we can't understand them at times. Just MVHO. Open to considering whatever angles/examples people care to throw out there, agreeable or discordant.
Ever take cuttings late in the season and they kind of get put on hold? I was going to send these pictured below to a friend in OH but by the time I got ready to do it, the weather hasn't been cooperative as far as being nice in both places (and along the way) for a few days. So now (about 5 weeks later,) everything's got roots and today I noticed this silly flower stalk coming up from what I would call a tiny stolon, but it has roots. This cup was kept in almost total shade after assembling the cuttings because other things in there would burn, it was only going to be for a day or two... Or could you conclude something else from this situation? There are 2 severed-then-rooted stolons of C. fragrans in this cup and I *think* the one with the flower stalk came from a plant in a lot of sun. The other one I *think* came from a plant in the shade in the back yard (in the ground.) The mama that made that stolon (the frostbite plant mentioned above) was itself a stolon stuck in the ground experimentally months ago. I checked again just now and it shows no signs of a flower stalk. So if lots of direct light is a factor, which it seems to be, bringing a plant in around the end of Oct should be enough (when this stuff all went into shade.) A very rudimentary observation no doubt.
Frostbite mama. Started many new stolons when I removed the others.
P.S. (although it will be on top...) At the top, that's what PS looks like if it's almost certainly going to fail to root. Even if it sacrifices its' tip, this piece still has hope, based on previous observation. Most of the cuttings look great though. My little corner of Opp will be purple again next year.
Ah, well... we win some and we lose some. I was grateful for the gift, and I tried my best to keep it thriving. Unfortunately, life happens when we least expect it!
Lately, I've been chasing goats out of the rose gardens! A group of about 5 are young and small enough to slip through the fence, and they love those tender tips! LOL! It's always something!
I may not be explaining myself well. What I mean when I speak of pot bound plants is... it's often said in the industry that certain plants "like" to be tight in their pots, and it often causes blooming. The truth is, they don't like to be bound up, and wouldn't be in nature. We confine them, so they have no choice but to grow roots where they can, if they remain healthy and growing... but it's not a preference for the majority of plants. That's what I mean. And many types will bloom or try to set seed or offset, or grow pups or whatever way they have to reproduce, because the mother plant feels stressed by the crowded roots, or choked off... do you know what I mean? In other words, it's not a preference to be pot bound, and it often causes certain plants to look for a way to produce that next generation to carry forward the genetic material, and may do so out of its normal bloom season.
Anyway... the frost bitten part doesn't really look that bad... and I found that the plant rooted anywhere it could, which I think you mentioned somewhere above, and very easily! At one point, I had to cut off a piece that was laying in another pot, as it had rooted in, attaching the two pots! I'm fairly certain it was the same plant... it looked identical, though mine hadn't bloomed. Now I wonder if I fertilized it enough when I had it... though it wasn't that old. Maybe two years, I had it for? I can't remember. LOL!
I have a terrible memory... don't mind me!
I feel the same way! If I could remember more crud, these mysteries would be easier to solve. Thanks for the additional stuff to ponder. If we keep taking pics and yakking about it, I'm sure we'll at least have fun.
When the frost-bitten parts of those leaves finish dying, I'll trim them off and take another pic. That thing is bursting with stolons. Lots of possibilities for experimenting next summer!
If you find yourself lonely for this plant again in the spring, I'm sure we could work some kind of trade. I'm open to suggestions when it warms back up.
Holy flowering shoots, Batman! Wow, those got really long! It's really progressing! I'm convinced I didn't feed mine enough... it never tried to produce flowers.
Most of the potted items I bring outside only get a sprinkling of Osmocote or a granular feed and insect control. I'm not as particular with outside plants as I am with my indoor specimens, which are mostly bulbs. That's probably why it never bloomed... that, and I think it met its demise way too soon.
I was amazed at how fast it grew, though! What began as a cutting or offset quickly filled the pot and overflowed, as I recall! In better circumstances, it could have been more than I have space for, that's for sure!
Thank you for the offer... I'll definitely keep it in mind. My only issue is wintering space, which I'm severely short on.
Do the flowers kind of curve downward once in bloom? Or do they hold themselves upright? I'd be very interested in seeing what they look like once they appear, and how the plant holds them.
I honestly don't think it looks that frost burnt... maybe a leaf tip or two. In any case, I found it to be a cool plant if a grower has the space for it. I just have to be a little bit conservative in that department... but I'm happy to watch yours grow through pictures!
I don't think it will lean much more than that, looks nearly ready for some flowers to open, near the tip. I was trying to turn it at least every-other day, but they just want to lean a bit. Inside, plants only get light from 1 side, frustrating but just how it is.
Sorry if I created confusion talking about multiple pots of this plant. The one that got frost burn is visible at the bottom of the last pic, just left of center, not the main mama. Conveniently, I cropped the pic to not include the frost-burned leaves. If I could reach the frost-burned plant more easily, I would remove the brown tips, but it just seems like too much trouble so far.
Ah, okay... modern technology works great for keeping the focus exactly where we want it, doesn't it?! I Photoshop most of my pictures, too... mainly to re-size, sharpen the focus, put a name or date in the file name, and to get them web ready.
I can imagine it would be difficult to keep turning that particular plant. Some of mine end up reaching for the light. It's the price I pay for having them packed so tightly in a small area for winter! Spring cannot get here soon enough!
Mad dash last night to get my Japanese Maples and a few other items inside a closed building... what began as a fairly mild day with a little drizzle turned into a frigid winter blizzard with high winds! We didn't get much snow, but it's definitely winter now! C'mon spring! I hate winter with a passion!
It will be very cool to see those long buds open into blooms! It's really nice to have flowers this time of year!
It sounds like you could school me on playing with pics. Cropping and adjusting the exposure if they're too dark is about all I'm good for. I'd love to play with photoshop sometime.
It is impossible to turn this plant now, that really long stalk would be mushed against the window. I've given up on keeping them all rounded inside this winter. There's just not room to turn most of them, like a puzzle the leaves only fit one way.
I hate winter too. It's so much easier (shorter duration, and temps not as low) in AL than OH, but still much too cold for me!!
Nothing new to report yet... watching...
The shorter ones insist on mushing against the window, the taller one is getting taller still... whatever that thing is on the wall, I didn't see it until I looked at the pic. Guess I need to get rid of that.
Right before Christmas my monitor burnt some capacitors, or something... it quit, and I was left temporarily without backup. However, one of the joys of being married to "MacGuyver" is that there's another unit not far from easy repair for temporary use. I'm on a laptop with a version of Windows I hate, none of my usual programs or links or files, with many of the letters worn off the keyboard. But, hey... it's internet worthy!
Actually, publishing and working with photos is something I've been doing for decades, even though I still haven't mastered all the options available with Photoshop. It's a great program, though, and does everything I need to fully edit and publish whatever I'm working on. I think part of the key is having a decent camera and using the right settings when taking pictures. After that, any photo fixing is minimal and fairly easy... once you know a little about the various options available with Photoshop.
I usually begin by finding out the actual pixel size of my picture, cropping out any areas I don't want, re-sizing it as necessary, sharpening the image a bit, and then saving it as a web ready image, giving it a new file name for ease of identification. It's really just a few clicks... as long as you begin with a decent photo from a good camera. I try to keep photo size around 500 x 300 pixels on average for ease of upload and viewing.
Ok... so I'm down a monitor, got sick over the holidays, forgot my camera at my son's house... and still feel like 18-wheeler roadkill!
Nice picture... looks like it's very close to opening those little bud groups! I'm very interested in how it looks while in full bloom!
Hope everyone had a nice holiday... and has a nice evening!
Heythere, good to hear from you, I was wondering about you, and others were too on HT. Sounds like you've been through a lot the past few weeks! Sorry about your monitor and hope you feel better soon!
I think our (DH's) camera is pretty good but I have zero photog skills. Up until this summer, I just used my phone for pics. All I know to do on the real camera is regular vs. macro but there's a dial of settings I never use and a bigger lens I don't even know what that's for. Then I can crop and lighten if it's too dark. I just use the windows thing that came with the computer. DH says if I can keep remembering to put the lens cap on, he'll teach me some more photo stuff. Ha! If I somehow find myself with Photoshop and needing some instructions, I know who to bug!
Just checked again this morning, no flowers open yet, just getting taller and taller...
That is so neat! It looks like tiny sprigs of Baby's Breath done up in an arrangement! They are beautiful little flowers!
I think you'll probably notice a scent as more tiny individual florets open, and possibly either at dusk or nighttime, when some flowers seem to throw a stronger scent... if this plant has one, that is.
It's really neat, though!
Yeah... it's been a heck of a couple weeks. I didn't need the added stress, on top of being sick, of getting jumped for voicing the truth at HT, so I didn't miss my monitor in that respect, though I do miss reading what some of the more logical posters write. I should have my own monitor back soon... hopefully. In the meantime, I'm just trying to feel better, and catch up with some of what I've missed.
I'll venture over there at some point, though I'm not in a big hurry for more verbal punishment. ;-)
Very nifty plant... keep the pictures coming; you're doing fine!
I wired this stem with a coat hanger.
Last spring I made a mixed-plant bucket for a friend and, as seems to be the karma of this plant, HIS flowers are better than mine, as mine are better than the person who gave it to me. What a great passalong!
So thought I'd include some pics, sorry, dunno why they're so dark. HIS "main" flower stalk is branching out.
P.S. Does anyone do palm readings? LOL!
Your palm indicates you have money
Your plants indicate what you spend the money on
The reason why they move away from the bright window is to chase the heat and light reflecting back off the walls
The money line on your other palm ( the one I cant even see) indicates that the use of a crystal ball is needed when glanced into it shows you may have a sun roof window in your future. Knowing that crystal balls are sometimes uncertain one thing is:
Even if the pics aren't clear I can tell from your one dimly light palm the only advice I can offer is don't play poker for money
I looked up this thread to see how long the flower stalks have been on my 'main' plant... 'cuz 2 are still on there, still blooming! I was going to break them off soon because I haven't seen the flowers open for a while, and no sign of any seeds forming, but they were open in full force this morning.
