What we do on snow days in the mountains when it is snowing hard outside.
Perhaps you've given it little thought, but innumerable roadside mailboxes in rural America stand as commendable testimonies of very creative recycling! Why, just look at the pictures here, and you'll see how easy it is for items once deemed "useless junk" to be turned into examples of expressive individualism by (no doubt) ecologically minded citizens!
If you'd like to join the swelling throng of this waste-reducing movement, just keel in mind these few rules. First off, your "eco-box" should sit 3 1/2 to 4 feet from the ground. Legally speaking, the letter holder itself has to be "government approved" for sturdiness, watertightness, etc. (in other words, you're supposed to buy — not make — one). But you can build around that certified container just about any kind of support structure you please . . . provided that your mail carrier can get to the box without having to reach far enough to aggravate his or her bursitis.
And that, fellow postal patron, is all there is to it. So remember, you, too, can do your part to preserve our environment (or, at least, its man-made leftovers). All you have to do is let yourself get stricken with . . . mailbox mania!
MOTHER EARTH NEWS is the guide to living — as one reader stated — "with little money and abundant happiness."

I think, the elections in Sudan is all hope. This is the first time in 24 years a multi-party elections took place in an Islamic Afro-Arab country.1st time that an election is run with no war in any part since 1953, the first time that Sudanese ran elections. Whether the South become united or seperate that is up to them. For the rest of Sudan, the good news is that no war is likely to take place between South and North again. Sudan will be the best country in the Horn of Africa and the Arab and Islamic World.
Congratulations South Sudan.
The north... good luck with the war criminal as president...
Many northern opposition parties withdrew before the poll. Fiddling the voters' register, boycotts and blatant rigging all boosted Mr Bashir. The Umma party, the strongest northern opposition group, boycotted the polls.
The NCP agent in the polling station complained but the official stood firm. A few hours later a menacing troika—the local election-commission's head, the local popular-committee boss and the same NCP agent—came back to order him to accept "every voter with a popular-committee certificate". Of the rest, the NCP got 65% of the vote, the SPLM 17% and other northern opposition parties still fewer. Of the entire sample, the NCP got 28% of eligible voters.
Surprised to hear that the SPLM allowed a free and fair vote in the south, they've always come across as a moderately intolerant lot in the past, albeit not on the same scale as the NCP. I've always thought that if the south split away, we'd just end up with another poor African country run by an authoritarian regime, which isn't a great change from the present. Have I been too cynical?
How hypocratical can one get! All this chest beating about Sudan's Election proves Western double standard!
If the Sudanese voters choose Omar Bashir to continue as their Presidnt what business The Economist or any outsider has about it.
Bashir is an alleged War Criminal! Big deal! I would respect the ICC if it also hauled Tony Blair,George Bush and his NeoCon gang before the court to face charges.What USA has been doing to Iraq since Iraqi invasion of Kuwait is war crime doubtless.Bill Clinton's genocidal Sanctions against the Iraqi people was not enough.His successor Bush had to send bombers and army to perpetrate henious crimes against Iraqi population.Mr.ElBerdi(IAEA Chief) told us this latest US aggression has cost over one millions civilains death.
Why Bush Cheney Blair et al are walking free men? And we are tirelessly told about Bashir of Sudan a war criminal! To many outside the Western establishment the answer is simple.
Bush Blair and Co are Europeans and Christians while Bashir is an African and a Muslim: Double curse for him!
The South deserves to rightfully split from the North & then a coup should occur in the North to have Bashir removed from power & free elections held, to elect a fair & just new leader there.
And there'll be "Peace in the Valley".. AMEN.
The indicted Bashir must be gotten rid off if the Wesrern interests can get their hands on the country oil and mineral riches.
I think that wherever we reside on the Political Spectrum that President Bashir won this fair and pretty much square. In his heartland, he has delivered nearly a decade of increasing Prosperity. He is No Fool and has made sure there has been Trickledown at the Base. I think this Rising Tide of Prosperity will facilitate the Exit of the South and ignite growth in the region. The Curve of History inflects when we least expect oftentimes.

If you are a man and you want to do the viral Harlem Shake dance, you probably dreamt of doing it with sexy and gorgeous Playboy Playmates.
Playboy jumped to the bandwagon and released their own version of the Harlem Shake dance early this month featuring the magazine's Playmates.
The video ran for around 30 seconds just like the other Harlem Shake videos and attracted thousands of views. It is also included in most lists of best Harlem Shake videos.
The girls are dressed in normal clothes at first then changed into their trademark sexy bunny suits. The men on the video must be so lucky to have sexy women dancing, or simply flailing, with the song.
On the other hand, Harlem Shake is a bass-heavy hip-hop track with almost no lyrics beyond a few samples. The song was released in May 2012 as a free download. But it got more popular this month as thousands of fans uploaded videos of themselves dancing along to the song are posted on YouTube.
Thus, the song debuted at Number 1 at the Billboard Hot 100 after it takes an evolutionary step by incorporating YouTube plays into its formula.

Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the results, said:
"2014 was a remarkable year for AstraZeneca. We achieved a record six product approvals as we accelerated our pipeline across all main therapy areas. Alongside this, we delivered four quarters of revenue growth, with growth platforms now contributing over half of our revenues. Our strong performance in Emerging Markets is a particular highlight, with China becoming our second largest national market, while the delay in the introduction of Nexium generics in the US helped to direct additional investment towards our launch brands and our rapidly advancing pipeline.
"Our guidance for 2015 reflects our focus on creating value by investing in our new brands and exciting pipeline while we continue improving productivity to protect our profitability in the face of patent expiries. With the depth of our science and the momentum we have built across our organisation, we are on track to return to growth by 2017 and are well positioned to deliver our long-term goals."

U.S. immigration cops nab 595 in largest-ever raid

NEW YORK (AP) — 50 Cent has sued Taco Bell, claiming the fast-food restaurant chain is using his name without permission in advertising that asks him to call himself 99 Cent.
The rapper says in a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday that the Mexican-themed chain features him in a print ad asking him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. His real name is Curtis Jackson.
What an idiot! I don't see where Taco Bell is using the name Curtis Jackson anywhere, do you?

An email from brethren in Ireland ...a point to ponder despite your
political affiliation:
'We, in Ireland , can't figure out why people in the United States are
even bothering to hold an election.
On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who
can't keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a
lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer
who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.
Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts
with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology married to a good looking younger
woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What in Lord's name are you lads thinking over there in the colonies??'

HOUSTON - Ever since he fatally shot two men he suspected of burglarizing his next-door neighbor's home, 62-year-old Joe Horn has been both praised and vilified for his actions.
Horn called 911 and told the dispatcher he had a shotgun and was going to kill the intruders. The dispatcher pleaded with him not to go outside, but a defiant Horn confronted the men with a 12-gauge shotgun and shot both in the back.
Some community activists wanted Horn to face charges for the deaths. Supporters of the retired grandfather said what he did was justified under the law.
After listening to evidence in the case, including testimony from Horn himself, a grand jury on Monday cleared him of the shootings.
"He wasn't acting like a vigilante. He didn't want to do it," said Tom Lambright, Horn's attorney.

A Texan's Opinion ..
T. B. Bechtel, a part-time City Councilman from Midland, TX, was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought of the allegations of torture of the Iraqi prisoners. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience.
'If hooking up an Iraqi prisoner's balls to a car's battery cables will
save one Texas GI's life, then I have just three things to say,
'Red is positive,
'Black is negative,
'Make sure his balls are wet.'

Christa Lawler column: What's love got to do with it?
Sam Smith's almost chart-topping new single is sexy.
It's spare: piano, percussion, raw emotion. It's the perfect soundtrack for when your spaghetti straps drop artfully from your dewy shoulders. You're bathed in the sort of flattering light best paired with white wine confessionals (and upscale fitting rooms).
"Stay with me," Smith sings, choke-whispering the titular phrase.

New owner plans to add staff, boost services and give the networking site a much broader audience
FCW InSight eSeminar "Embracing collaboration" with Steve Ressler
When GovDelivery announced last month that it was acquiring GovLoop, it was testament to the growing popularity of the social-media site for government employees. In existence for about 15 months, GovLoop already boasts more than 20,000 members. As part of the deal, founder Steve Ressler has left his job at Immigration and Customs Enforcement to run GovLoop as a GovDelivery employee.
GovDelivery's chief executive officer, Scott Burns, recently spoke with Federal Computer Week reporter Alice Lipowicz about why the provider of government-to-citizen communication tools was interested in the GovLoop community, the company's plans for the site and how users have reacted to the announcement.
GovDelivery is a growing company. What has your focus been?
We are a software company in St. Paul, Minn., in business since 2000. We have raised $5 million in capital during that time, including $2 million in the last year. Dolan Media Co., based in Minneapolis, is the largest shareholder in GovDelivery and has a noncontrolling interest. All other investors are private individuals.
We have had our biggest growth year ever by quite a margin this year. The volume of government messaging we handle is going up. It took us seven years to get to 1 billion e-mails and only seven months to get to 2 billion. We needed to bring in more investment because we opened an office in the U.K. and have been building up our IT infrastructure.
How did you hear about GovLoop, and what was your first impression of the site?
We work with most federal agencies on their government-to-citizen efforts, social media and Web 2.0. We'd been looking for partners who are active in those areas and good at creating communities. I heard from a client to check out GovLoop.
Government's use of social media is generally low value: An agency might put out a Twitter feed or launch a Facebook site. Before GovLoop, I had not seen social media really helping to further the mission by being oriented to solving problems.
On my first visit to GovLoop, I saw blog entries and people addressing problems in acquisition, human resources and technology…at their agencies. Seeing that level of activity and a variety of people commenting, I was really impressed.
How did you meet GovLoop's founder, Steve Ressler?
I had just joined GovLoop about a week before the Fed 100 award dinner March 25. Steve and I were both Fed 100 awardees. That was right before we both attended the Gov 2.0 conference March 27. I think I e-mailed him before those events to say, "Hey, let's make sure we connect." When I arrived at the Fed 100 dinner, I recognized Steve from his photo. I just went up to him and started talking.
At that point, I had not thought about purchasing GovLoop. We've never purchased another company. We are a really small organization.
When Steve started talking about options for the site, I thought we [could] add a lot more value and help grow it faster. It was exciting to me. GovDelivery has some resources that would be really useful to GovLoop.
What are GovDelivery's plans for GovLoop?
Steve is definitely leading the effort of where we are going with GovLoop. I don't have any unique insight that Steve doesn't have.
We have over 50 people, and that automatically adds resources for support and technology that obviously one person, working part time, does not have. By the end of 2009, we will have three to five people working on GovLoop.
Also, every day, between 10,000 and 100,000 people sign up for government alerts using GovDelivery's platform. Someone arrives on a Web site for the state of Minnesota or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the U.K. Parliament and signs up to receive updates. We are very good at raising awareness of government content, and about 10 percent to 20 percent of our subscribers are from government. We think there are opportunities to encourage them to move content to, and collaborate in, GovLoop.
We are very good at building audiences, and we have a broad reach. We don't own the users, so it will take the step of agencies moving content into GovLoop, and we believe many of them will want to do that.
As for monetizing the GovLoop site, Steve has talked about premium group products. You can continue to set up a free group, but if you want help with promoting and audience, GovLoop will provide that service at a fee. Also, there are creative ways to bring in sponsors that add value to the community, such as setting up user communities for people using products or services from different companies or setting up groups around issues like acquisition or cloud computing. You should not expect to see banner ads tomorrow, but we will have places on the site to add content and support.
What has been the reaction to the purchase of GovLoop?
Membership in GovLoop has grown by 14 percent since we announced the change — from 17,700 members to 20,200. I think that is a good indication that people are seeing it as a positive thing. The announcement was an opportunity to tell GovLoop's story.
What is Steve Ressler's role? Is this deal mainly about obtaining his services, as one analyst has suggested?
We provided Steve with some ownership in GovDelivery and GovLoop going forward, as part of the deal. He is an important part of the puzzle. You wouldn't want GovLoop without Mr. GovLoop. He is an incredibly talented guy, and this is a fast-moving space. He's been good at building community.
Anyone who doesn't think the deal makes sense doesn't understand our business very well. We move information around the Internet. If you are in that business, this is going to add so much value to us to have an additional collaborative space where we can encourage people to go. It is an amazing fit, and getting Steve's talent on top of that, and getting his input going forward, is an important part of the puzzle. If we had just wanted to hire Steve, that would have been easier than bringing GovLoop into GovDelivery.
What about the people who say GovLoop won't be the same now that it is no longer run by a government employee?
There might be some misconception there. GovLoop has always been open to the government sector. Steve always has been running it on his own, not as part of the government.
At the end of the day, people want to make sure the magic of GovLoop isn't going to be ruined. Actions speak louder than words. People should watch and see. I believe it will be a really positive change. Everyone should give it a chance and watch and see how it develops.

For example, look at A Bite of Independence Through Self-Sufficiency, by Marlynn Phipps, Jan Woolley, and Venecia & Jenny Phipps.
The cover is a beautiful photo--like one of those "upscale" magazines--of some great-looking food. There's a cherry pie, a fine looking waxed cheese, four kinds of bread, a bowl of brown and white eggs... and a whole fish with a cherry tomato in its mouth and something that looks like a wedding cake, decorated with white pillars and red roses and an almost ridiculous icing job. And more.
And the subtitle is Learn How to: Feed A Family Of Four For As Low As $10.00 Per Week.
Yeah, sure.
Flipping through it: more of the same, including a three-layer wedding cake. But wait. A diagram of how to skin a rabbit? Drawings of fish farm setups? Home-made food dryers? cheese presses? Homemade food dryer? Maybe this book deserves a closer look.
The second impression is much better. Yes, this book really is about self reliance, and it has some terrific ideas and recipes that almost any homesteader will appreciate.
It's not just a cook book. The authors call it a "way of life book." There are brief chapters on fish farming, beekeeping, home butchering and gardening. The theme throughout the book seems to be one most countrysiders would agree with: "It's fun to be frugal," and you don't have to live on beans.
The chapter on bread, crackers and pasta is very good, containing not only some mouth-watering recipes but many tips and hints as well. It includes recipes for everlasting yeast, yeast cakes using hops, and sourdough starter.
There is an excellent section on "Putting Aside" which includes curing and smoking meats and making sausage, as well as canning and freezing.
A grab bag section includes recipes for everything from biscuit mix, curry powder and pickling spice, to laundry soap and bluing and starch.
It's a very good, informative book.
We just wonder what the readers who are attracted by the elegant cover will think when they come to that page about butchering rabbits.--JdB
A Bite of Independence; 180 pp, 8-1/2 x 11, color photos, $24.99 + $3 S&H; from SSL, Inc., P. O. Box 2050, Higley AZ 85236.
For those who really do feed a family of four on $10 a week and can't afford almost three weeks' grocery money for a book, another version--smaller, and without as many fancy pictures--is available for less than two weeks' grocery money. Instead of A Bite Of Independence this one is A Nibble of Independence and is available for $15.99 + $3 S&H from the same source.

So cute... not at all practical
I resist the urge to buy phone cases, since I'm usually disappointed. This one was TOO CUTE to pass up. The pink, the Barbie-ness, it was perfect! However, it makes your phone about an inch longer at the bottom and 1.5 inches longer at the top. It's not very practical. Also, because the rubber extensions on the top and bottom are so heavy, if you put it in your purse, the case will pop off very easily. I wish this was practical, but it just wasn't right for me when bent in either direction. If you have no reason to be practical with your phone case, go for it because it's adorable. I was very torn in cute vs. practical. My dad also mentioned that I looked silly because the phone and button faces outward when you talk on the phone.

Actually really cute...
This dress is actually very cute, especially for the price. As the other reviewers mentioned, there is some extra fabric that sticks out at the armpits. I'm going to have mine altered and see what the tailor can do about it. That being said, for the price, this is a super cute piece. I feel like looking at it people would be so impressed with the back that it doesn't really matter if there is a slight flaw in the front. Also, the straps are adjustable and that really helps pull the fabric in. I'm a little more tolerant of the flaws than the other reviewers, but I always seem to have a problem with the front of a dress when the back is really open, so I just deal with it.

While this shoe was cute, it ran somewhat short and narrow. The picture also makes them look a lot prettier than they are in person. They were not worn, but the whole wedge was already fraying like raffia does. I did not think this shoe was worth the money and I returned them. They were cute, but nothing too exciting.

I love Frye boots, but I've never had any of their heels before. These are very cute and very comfy. They look good with just about anything that the color goes with, but I especially like them with cropped jeans. My only complaint would be that they slide off sometimes, but that is the nature of this type of shoe. Overall, a very good shoe, especially for the price.

This really ticks us off......packaging
I don't think this will be TMI but after Hubby got his prostate removed, one of the side-effects is incontinence.
So he's been wearing Men's Depends daily, nite and day.
They've always come in packages of 18 for $17.99.
WELL! They's shrunk the packaging to 12 for $17.99. 30% less.....that's a big difference!!
We've talked about getting less for the same price, vs raising the price but still......!
That's a shame. With some of these things, we're getting less quantity (just noticed this morning a small bag of snack crackers that I've been buying is 1 1/4 oz less than it used to be) but in things we want but could go without, and this is something needed.
Do you have access to Costco or know someone who does? My girlfriend has bought them for her mother there, $52.99 for 80 or 67 cents each. Much cheaper than our local stores.
I was complaining about something similar this morning. One of my coworkers was re-doing the candy shelves. I noticed the "family sized" bags of M&M's. They're now the same size that the single serve bag used to be 15 years ago. Only back then the single size bag was 75 cents. Now it's 3.99! I don't eat M&M's anymore. Also, bacon has shrunk 30% and the price is the same. Most things are going up. Our 500ml milk is now 473ml.
Jasdip did the doc explain that the incontinence should stop. He has to retrain his system to work. My husband's friend had it done and he quit wearing them. My husband was going to have his prostate removed when he got the cancer and at the last minute the doc asked if my husband had a memory problem. He had AZ and doc said no you won't be able to retrain. My husband did treatment instead.
Emma, when he first got his catheter out, he couldn't feel his bladder to know that it was full. He's been doing kevlar (sp) exercises and his bladder is working. He only needs to get up once late in the nite (around 4:30-5am) to go to the bathroom.
I've encouraged him to not wear the Depends when he's around the house and not going anywhere, but he's reluctant, but I'll work on him some more :)
Sam's Club also has their own brand called Member's Mark that I used to buy for my father. Also, when my dad initially had some leakage issues and didn't want to use Depends yet, I introduced him to the mini/maxi pad world fitted into his tighty whiteys. Hope this isn't TMI.
I've noticed that with so many products the last few years. Often they change the packaging a bit so you won't notice the difference in the amount, but how in the world do they get by with that big of a change!? There's no way their cost could have gone up that much.
I'm glad you found a better deal at Costco.

It's that time of year when we're all trying to stick to healthier routines, equipped with diet books, exercise clothes and training videos.
As a personal trainer, I know that at least 80 percent of people who start an exercise program will drop it within three months.
But if you've got a dog, you already have the best training partner at your disposal — not to mention that it's your responsibility to make sure that your dog gets his daily walk. (Before you embark on any exercise program with your pup, have your vet examine your dog for any physical or medical issues that could limit his ability to exercise.) Here are some tips to get started:
Forgo a traditional collar if you want to burn some serious calories with your dog. Collars can compress the trachea when pulled, causing difficulty with breathing or even injury.
A walking harness is the safest choice, or opt for a no-pull harness, which offers a higher degree of control over a traditional harness. Look for wide, padded straps, breathable materials, and a solid connector to prevent escape. The harness should fit snugly, but not too tightly, across the chest and sides — you should be able to easily fit two fingers underneath the harness at all points. If you plan to walk your dog when it's warm outside, a mesh harness is ideal.
As for leashes, I prefer models that are no longer than six feet when walking for exercise. Since you'll be keeping your canine companion close to maintain a steady pace, save the long leash and retractable gizmos for more casual strolls around the neighborhood.
While we're on the topic, I've never been a fan of retractable leashes. In my experience, they cause more accidents and problems than any other restraint device.
Here's the problem: You don't have adequate control over your dog. If they're 15 feet away, it's easy to ignore your commands. ("What's that? I can't hear you from way over here.") For humans, a long line can lead to elbow and shoulder injuries if your dog decides to bolt. Finally, a dog on a retractable lead typically settles into a walking pattern of run ahead, smell something and then get dragged, which doesn't allow your dog (or you) to maintain a steady aerobic rhythm.
For winter romps, protective booties may be required. Most dogs only require booties in extremely cold conditions to help prevent slipping on ice or frozen surfaces. Booties also protect paws from irritating de-icing salts that people spread on their sidewalks.
If the temps are in the teens, keep your outings short and build up your pup's fitness routine gradually. It's easy to overdo it when you're eager to shed pounds. But fitness and good health is a journey, not a destination.
When I run with my dogs, I'm always clocking our speed and distance — as well as my heart rate — with a GPS-enabled watch. If you don't have a GPS device or a smartphone (you can download apps that do the same thing as a watch), pick up an inexpensive pedometer.
If you go for long walks in warmer weather, pack a collapsible water bowl. It's easy for your pooch to get parched, so provide water every 30 to 60 minutes during serious outings. And remember that your dog is essentially wearing a fur coat, so excessive exercise can lead to dangerous overheating. In other words, don't push your pet too far in high temperatures.
Dogs can also get sunburns, so don't forget sunscreen during prolonged sun exposure. Pet-safe sunscreens are available from many veterinarians and pet stores.
Finally, make sure you have plenty of identification on your pup. Microchips and collar tags are a must. If you walk when it's dim out, strap on a collar or a harness with built-in safety lights and reflectors. And if you walk near busy streets, both you and your dog need to wear reflective vests.
There's loads of other equipment you can use when walking your dog for fitness, but don't go crazy at first. All you really need is a comfortable harness, a short leash and the motivation to do it each and every day.
If your dog starts lagging behind, that's his way of telling you that it's time to call it a day. Try not to push your dog too far, too fast. Over time, as he builds muscle tone and endurance, he'll be able to keep up with you for longer walks or runs.
In his next post, Dr. Ernie Ward will tackle a canine fitness conundrum: What to do if your dog won't walk or run with you.

Bird's Nest Sans - recovering
It's been two weeks I posted about my over watered bird's nest sans, and here is an update.
This picture shows a top view of the original plant. (what survived). It had a few roots in September when I repotted it. I moved it from my dining room to my plant lights, hoping to encourage more growth. We don't get much sunshine from November to February, and I want it to grow - not simply survive.
The lights are to the left, so the right hand plant is more accurate to color.
These 2 plants are the ones with no roots. I am holding them in place with the stones, and shifted them for the picture. I can see no rot, no withering, and it looks good to me. I'm not sure if there are any roots yet, but I am willing to wait. It is still dry, and also under the lights.
Last picture is a rooted leaf! I started it in September and it turned very yellow and curled. I moved it to the lights and overnight it started turning green. Now I can see two small roots - one on the far right of the leaf and another to the left of that. I am tempted to mist or give a few sips of water, but the leaf looks better every day without, so I will wait.
This is so hard to not water these plants, but I really want it to grow again. Thanks for your help. :-)
Looks good so far.
If you MUST water, just lightly mist around the outer edge of the mix ONLY of the Sans. which has visible roots.
This bit of mist/moisture at the outer edge MAY make the roots reach for it (at least that's my theory & I'm stickin' to it).
You'll see Lennie, eventually, your patience will be rewarded!
Your plant looks like a S. t. Hahnii 'Malachite'. This variety has a keel, or thickening of the center, which can be felt with the fingers. Some leaves have a speckled appearance, and some show some cross banding associated with many sansevierias. Can you see/feel these characteristics? Below I post a picture of 'Malachite', and another in a 2nd message.
Thank you all for reposting. My sans have not died, and I misted the soil around my biggest ones just yesterday. I'll take new pictures later today.
Michaela, I just checked and my sans does not have a such a prominent keel as Malachite. But it does have both checkered and striped leaves. I thought it had sported when it died and I restarted it the first time.
I found a good spot near my lightstand, and they are greening up, but not losing the yellow entirely. I am watching the growing centers and I think I'm getting very good growth there. I also added rocks and water so they are getting more humidity. I'll get pictures yet this morning.
This one is not rooted yet. I removed it from the pot and there were no roots. But no rot, and so I put it back and took this picture from the top. There are two plants in this pot, and the one on the right has a nice growing point. I'm pulling the leaf back to show there is another plant. This on is just starting to get new growth in its center.
And - Michaela - you are right - it IS Malachite. The first leaf I felt was a young one, but the older leaves do have a keel. These leaves are thin and flexible, but there is a keel. Thank you for the ID.
My sister gave me this plant in the 80s because her cats were chewing on it. She told me it was a dwarf snake plant.
It's been over a year, and I thought I'd share my bird's nest sans' progress. It has three new pups, and is firmly rooted in the pot once again!
I found a good spot for it - my dining room table, about 4 feet from a south window. I water it once a month, sometimes a little more in the summer, but never once a week as I did before.
I also managed to save the smaller pot which had two rootless pups. That pot also has 2 new pups and is growing. It's not as pretty, the old leaves are solid green and the new growing centers are cross hatched.
Thank you all for your kind advice when I was so worried I would lose the plant.
Lennie they are beautiful!! They look completely healthy and vibrant! I have several that look exactly like those, all came from my very first one that was a gift from a student's mom a few years ago. I also made the same mistakes you did and almost lost all of them but am now rectifying the situation thanks to all the information on this forum. I hope they look like yours soon!! Great job, very inspiring!
Your plants really are very pretty despite all the problems you had...........You did a super job on keeping them alive.
I want to find one that is not tall, I have a tall variegated one outside and neighbor planted it in dirt. but guess it loves it. I just don't happen to like that kind. I like the small ones like you have that go around in the planter...............

OR Of The FutureFebruary 14, 2011 5:28 am | by Amanda Hankel, editor | Comments
In minimally invasive surgery, technology, in a way, replaces surgeons' eyes, allowing them to see inside a patient despite only making tiny incisions. For some surgical specialties, this technology takes the form of a camera. For others, such as vascular and cardiovascular surgery, less invasive approaches have created a unique need for high-end angiographic imaging, fostering a new concept known as the hybrid OR.

Closing The Complex Open Abdomen: Rethinking The Management of Acute And Chronic Giant Ventral Hernias: The Cook County ExperienceFebruary 9, 2011 5:22 am | by Andrew Dennis, DO, FACOS | Comments
Managing giant ventral hernias after traumatic injury and operation has become a dilemma plaguing trauma surgeons in recent years.

It is estimated that it takes an average of 17 years for evidence to be put into practice (Balas & Boren 2000).

I was the newest member of the transplant team, but even so, I knew what had to be done right away: We had to take this man back to the operating room.

January 31, 2011 The answer to that question is a surprisingly resounding "No!" The medical software industry is far from supporting the iPad on a meaningful scale. Buyers would think that vendors eager to grow market share would quickly adopt new, flashy technologies, but software vendors are surprisingly slow to react.
