|Reviews for A Deadly Spark
| LoganSaccularius chapter 6 . 5/14/2013
Good story so far but the character is a little off not enough flaws. Every hero has a flaw.
| Thargelion chapter 10 . 5/13/2013
very nice whatever FINNICK ON A SUGAR HIGH!
| daydreamer626 chapter 9 . 5/8/2013
Wow. I'm speechless.
I hope I don't sound callous, but Spark should use these experiences to make her stronger. Then again, I'd definitely have the same reaction if that happened to me.
Please update soon; this is probably one of the best fanfics I've ever read!
| Thargelion chapter 8 . 5/4/2013
yeah! finnick on a sugar high!
| Thargelion chapter 7 . 4/30/2013
um... what rebellion? and YOU BETTER MAKE FINNICK BE ON A SUGAR HIGH IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!
| Radio Free Death chapter 1 . 4/30/2013
Starting with the main character waking up and finding out its reaping day is really cliche. It's been done hundreds of times already.
It's a bit forced for her to also be like 'oh and I suddenly remember why this day is bad!' to explain her parents' backstory. And man, is the Capitol bad at this. I wonder if this 'spark' comment will come to bite them in the ass later on in the story. It's too obvious a setup. realistically, if Spark's family consist mostly of rebels, the Capitol would apprehend all of them and either execute them, turn them to Avoxes (not a good idea), or lock them up.
[I should have been named something darker, since the Career tributes regularly call me Sparky, because I'm not a Career like them, even though I train regularly for the Hunger Games. I would be a Career, but I hate the Capitol.]
This doesn't make any sense. If she's trained, why isn't she like the others? Or does this mean she's totally not a psychopath, which should mean also that the other kids, being trained, should also not be unless there's something seriously wrong with them or their training or both.
I hope her hating the Captiol will amount to her doing something about it instead of just playing along like how most of these stories go.
[The Capitol did this. They rigged the drawing so I would be chosen.]
Okay, did they also tell everyone but her not to volunteer in that case? While I can see this happening, it doesn't really make sense because the Capitol killed her parents and other members of her family. Do they really need an excuse to put her in the Games? Why not kill her with her parents? Why not arrest her along with the other members of her family if they're all known as traitors? Obviously if that would happen there'd be no games, but don't set up a scenario like this and not expect people to question it.
| daydreamer626 chapter 6 . 4/29/2013
This is such a great story; I personally feel it needs more attention. I mean, it's something much more original than other stories out there. A rebellious girl doing whatever it takes to defy the odds and get back to District 4? What's not to like? And the cherry on top? Spark isn't a Mary Sue. She has issues, problems, and most importantly, flaws, just like you and me.
Sorry for the long review from a complete stranger, but please continue; this has much, much potential. :)
| Thargelion chapter 6 . 4/29/2013
finnick is on a sugar high
| Thargelion chapter 5 . 4/23/2013

| Thargelion chapter 2 . 4/16/2013
Nice job! HOW OLD IS JAKE! I want to know... PUT IT LATER ON!
| Thargelion chapter 1 . 4/15/2013
Hey, sister, I like your fanfic.

Hazardous Smog Enshrouds Beijing
Originally published on Sat January 12, 2013 8:48 am
Beijing's air quality reached extremely hazardous levels Saturday, and officials are warning people to stay indoors, NPR's Louisa Lim reports.
"Beijing's skies are shrouded in a blanket of spectral grey smog, which blocks visibility and makes the eyes sting," Lim tells our Newscast Desk.
She says the air quality level is literally off the charts: The U.S. embassy's index stops at 500, but the levels recorded Saturday hit "beyond index," above 800. Lim adds:
"Public pressure has led to more open reporting of pollution levels in the last year, but one leading Chinese health expert has warned air pollution could become the country's biggest health threat."
In December 2011, Lim reported that long-time exposure to such hazardous pollution "could reduce life expectancy by as much as five years."
Officials say the extreme levels could stay that way into Tuesday. Meanwhile, the official Xinhua news agency reported as recently as Dec. 31 that Beijing's air has improved for 14 straight years.

2011 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Edmunds review of the mercury Grand Marquis tells me they have never driven one or other Ford products like them. Such as the Ford Crown Victoria or the Lincoln Town Car
The mileage estimates for all there are not accurate. I have owned all three of these cars and they all get at least 29 to 30 miles to the gallon on the highway and 19 to 20 in town. I owned a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria with a police interceptor engine, but had the highway geared rear end. It was personally owned by a police officer as his own car. I drove that car from Kansas City to Memphis and filled up when the fuel gauge was almost on empty. It took about 17 gallons to fill it up and I had drive 497 miles!

Truck frame, truck engine, truck tranny with car body, excellent visibility, reliability and cheap to maintain! Add isolated chamber quiet, wide, safe and easy to find a nice used one and this car could be the sleeper used car find for the wise!
Buy 2003 or newer, run only 5-20 synthetic, replace the LCM lighting control module (see ebay-weak relay) and you have a cheap, reliable upscale ride for $5k+/- that should hold it's value and get you 21 mpg avg for most and late 20s at 70! Easy to find a low miler that been driven by an adult too
Look under the car and you'll be impressed-very robust frame, suspension, etc!
of car for the money and a choice used car !

The Mercury Grand Marquis is a Great car. The Ford Panther Platform which is in its last year with the demise of the Lincoln Town Car.
The Panther platform extends form the Ford Crown Victoria which has been the work horse of every police department from here to Kalamazoo.
The Mercury Grand Marquis is just a more dressed up version. The front engine rear wheel drive provides a stable and luxurious ride.
The Mercury is an intermediate between the crown vic and the ultra luxurious Town Car. It has great durability and more room than any import unibody garbage out there.

That some bemoan the Grand Mercury for being a poor handling automobile is unfortunate.
The Grand Marquis was never meant to handle like a car half its weight, but rather this American chariot was meant to isolate its occupants from the bumps in the road and all the outside noises.
When I think of the Grand Marquis, the engineering adages "Keep it simple" or "Simple is best" come to mind.
Admittedly, there's not much current styling going on here, to the point that my teenage son calls it "reverse cool".
Still the Grand Marquis achieves the classic Americana pitch & roll feel that will slowly fade as these classics dwindle on the roads.
As for me, I just bought a used Grand Marquis '11.

I rented a Grand Marquis because it was lined up with some Nissan Altimas and looked much more spacious for a family of five with all our luggage.
It is huge inside (able to take a sixth passenger!), smooth and comfy and I liked it for this.
However much I liked it, I have to admit that it is very thirsty on fuel and is enormous on the outside - not easy to park in a multi-storey cark park.
It also corners in a heavy and sloppy fashion, as you would expect looking at it.
It is an old design with all of the good and bad points you would expect of this.

Listen to Lynne Shaw speaking to James Valentine about the trip on 702 ABC Sydney
(Requires RealPlayer)
The most popular car of its time in France, it was small and light considered perfect for the gruelling conditions of the raid when mountain tracks, deserts and bogs had to be negotiated.
The de Dion was the pride of the nation. With a mere 10hp, it was expected to win and to prove the great superiority of French motorcars over the competition. At a time when motorcars were primarily for the rich, Count Albert de Dion anticipated mass appeal and he believed the raid would put his car in the box seat.
This is a real Jules Verne undertaking, he said. But nothing is impossible.
Georges Cormier, a man with a huge Balkan-style moustache, was an endurance driver and Parisenne car dealer. He was the proponent of light cars and had already competed in the Circuit European and Circuit European-Africain. Though a professional driver, Cormier was eager to pull out when he reached Peking and discovered the race organisers had cancelled the event it was only the princes determination to go ahead regardless that persuaded Cormier and the other de Dion driver to go ahead anyway.

Nordstrom Worker Accused Of Selling Stolen Items
By editor
A Nordstrom warehouse worker created a mini department store in his living room — displaying fancy watches and hand bags at very good prices. He even took orders. Police noticed him when he wore a bulky winter coat to work on a hot summer day and made lots of trips to his car.

I've been really interested in joining a competetive team for a while. I just can't seem to find a group of people that are really serious about it. I'm 15 and currently attending school, but don't let that dissuade you. I'm not immature and I get right down to it with this game. I hope you'll consider me, my in-game name is Dazarilan. I'd say my best lane is mid and I have many champions I can play well there, but you can stick me in any lane and I can do fine with multiple champions to choose from. Maybe we can play a few games, see how we work together. I'm only at about 1071 elo which I realise is pretty bad, but a lot of higher elo people I've played with believe me to be much higher. If that was a bit egotistical I'm sorry, but I really hope you'll give me a chance, I'm an asset to any team
EDIT: I'm at my dads this weekend, and I don't have internet. I'm actually posting this during a study hall lol. I will be back on on sunday, maybe sooner. For the time being, I will be at my dads wednesday-saturday, unless you allow me on the team, in which case I will try and work something out. Please consider me
Hit me up in-game. We seem very like-minded and I'd enjoy playing with you.

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are severe mental disorders with overlapping genetic and clinical characteristics, including cognitive impairments. An important question is whether these disorders also have overlapping neuronal deficits.
To determine whether large-scale brain networks associated with working memory, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), are the same in both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and how they differ from those in healthy individuals.
Patients with schizophrenia (n = 100) and bipolar disorder (n = 100) and a healthy control group (n = 100) performed a 2-back working memory task while fMRI data were acquired. The imaging data were analysed using independent component analysis to extract large-scale networks of task-related activations.
Similar working memory networks were activated in all groups. However, in three out of nine networks related to the experimental task there was a graded response difference in fMRI signal amplitudes, where patients with schizophrenia showed greater activation than those with bipolar disorder, who in turn showed more activation than healthy controls. Secondary analysis of the patient groups showed that these activation patterns were associated with history of psychosis and current elevated mood in bipolar disorder.
The same brain networks were related to working memory in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and controls. However, some key networks showed a graded hyperactivation in the two patient groups, in line with a continuum of neuronal abnormalities across psychotic disorders.
The study was financially supported by the Research Council of Norway (grant numbers 167153/V50, 163070/V50 and 183782/V50) and the South-Eastern (2004-123) and Western (91141) Norway Regional Health Authority.

Casey Montoya - Scrap metal recovered from the wreckage of the New Carissa could total about 1,700 tons - or about 600 tons more than salvage crews were expecting. The wood chip freighter ran aground in February 1999 and broke apart, leaving about half stuck in the sand on a beach near Coos Bay. Florida-based Titan Salvage is cleaning up the last of the wreckage and will sell the scrap metal to help recover some of the cost. But scrap metal prices have fallen from about $325 per ton at the start of the job to about $160 per ton. Even with the decline, salvage managers say the rusting steel could net more than $330,000. http://www.kacey-montoya.org/

She wanted the one thing he couldn't give.
It was only a favour, after all, but Nick couldn't believe his best friend could ask him for that.
Lady Emily Redford has asked her best friend for pointers on how to make love. He is astonished at the request. Why ask him? She is recently widowed. Why doesn't she know?
Emily explains she is about to take on a completely new lifestyle. She will be taking lovers. Horrified, he asks why not simply marry again? Only Emmy isn't interested in the holy state. Nick is aghast upon realising not only is she about to take lovers but her first is the worst rake in all of London.
Nick cannot allow it. He must save her from herself, but who will save him?
Nick Caulfield, the Earl of Devonshire, found the power to breathe, either in or out, quite beyond his capability. The scalding tea he'd hardly dared to sip had gushed into his mouth like boiling lava. He swallowed the whole of it unnoticed.
He sat in the Redford's second-floor sitting room. The sounds of the city beyond the large front windows were hushed by distance, thick brick walls and heavy drapery. All he heard, over her echoing and totally outrageous proposition, was the blood pounding in his head and the soft constant tick of a grandfather clock in the room's far corner.
Lady Emily Redford sat facing him. Her slightly embarrassed flush proved nothing compared to the growing colour in the man sitting opposite her. Her eyes grew huge as she watched his lightly tanned skin deepen to fire red. "Are you all right? You said the tea was too hot. Why did you drink it like that?"
"What tea?" he almost bellowed as he finally regained the ability to breathe. And slamming the delicate china cup and saucer on the Chippendale table that separated them, he furthered the bellow with, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Stop shouting!" she returned none too softly herself then glanced around the room as if expecting another to suddenly materialise, even knowing they were quite alone. "The servants will..."
His voice grew low, almost sinister as he mimicked, "Oh, the servants. We wouldn't want them shocked to hear of the lady's plans, now would we? Jesus, if you aren't the most ridiculous, outrageous woman, I'd like to know who the bloody hell is."
Emmy took a deep breath. All she'd wanted was a piece of advice, an idea or suggestion, pertaining to the art of lovemaking. And who better to ask? Granted, she had imagined he might know some surprise at her proposition, but she never would have thought he'd grow this upset. "There's no need for you to use that language, Nicky. A simple no would surely have sufficed."
She should have known better than to ask. Her plan was indeed outrageous by most standards, she supposed, but Nick didn't know, couldn't ever know the loneliness, the need, the hunger that filled her world. Yes, she had friends, but friends weren't enough when faced with endless nights alone. She wanted, she needed more. Only she couldn't exactly name her yearning. All she knew for sure was she didn't want to marry. No, she'd already suffered through that delightful state and thought she could manage quite nicely without repeating it. "You said I could tell you anything."
"If I remember correctly it wasn't something you told me, but something you asked of me."
"Nicky, calm down and think. Who could do a better job of it? There's hardly a woman in all of London who cannot boast of knowing your expertise in bed. Is it too much to ask that you give your best friend a few pointers?"
He came suddenly to his feet. "I'm leaving. Let me know if or when you come to your senses."
Now that her plan had been disclosed, Emmy hurriedly rethought her proposal and back-tracked. It wouldn't do at all should Nicky contact her brother. Granted, she was an independent woman of more than a little means, and Johnny couldn't stop her once she'd made up her mind. Still an irate brother was bound to cause her a problem or two. "Wait! Don't go off in a huff," she said then hurriedly added a weak, "I was only teasing."
He looked at her for a long moment, studying her poised, delicate and ever so lady-like manner, her wide-eyed, oh-so-obvious innocence and wondered if he hadn't somehow misunderstood. "Were you?"

What is Social Security Disability (SSD)?
The Social Security Disability program is administered by the Social Security Administration and funded by the FICA taxes you pay when you work. If you become unable to work before you are old enough to retire and collect Social Security, you can apply for SSD benefits. This program ensures you will have a minimal monthly income if you are unable to work at your job or at any other job for at least one full year.
What is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
SSI -- Supplemental Security Income -- is a federal benefit program available to those who are totally disabled and whose income and assets fall within certain limits. No previous work history is required for SSI. In some cases, children can obtain SSI benefits.
Will SSD/SSI replace all of my lost income?
No, it will not. It is only a safety net. As of August 2009, the average SSD benefit amount was $1,064 per month, although you can receive up to a maximum of approximately $2,449 per month, depending on your past earnings. If you have a family, they could receive additional benefits, up to 50 percent of your own monthly benefit amount.
Do I qualify for SSD benefits?
You qualify if the SSA determines you meet its definition of Disability: you have been unable to work at your job or at any other job for at least one full year, and you have worked and paid into the program (mandatory payroll taxes) for five of the last ten years.
What is the SSA's definition of "Disability"?
The SSA will consider five things: whether you are currently working; the severity of your medical condition (mental or physical); if your medical condition is on its "List of Impairments;" your ability to do the work you did before; and your ability to do any other type of work.
When should I apply for disability benefits?
As soon as you become disabled. Most people are turned down on their initial application, and it can take up to two years to go through the hearing and appeals process to get your benefits.
Is it difficult to get SSD benefits?
Yes. SSA denies about 60 percent of the people filing initial applications.
Do I need to hire an attorney?
You can apply without an attorney; however, statistics show that claimants who retain attorneys have a better chance of getting their benefits. Firms like Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law, which has obtained benefits for more than 15,000 individuals and families, understand the system and can get your case settled in a timely manner.

Know Thyself by Way of a Bigger Vocabulary
I just finished a book on words, The Painted Word. It's amazing what one can learn about oneself by expanding one's vocabulary. I found out that I engage in sciamachy and omphaloskepsis on a regular basis. I now know that I'm a obsimath with a borderline case of abibliophobia and a full-blown case of dromomania.
What about you? Do you know your value in millihelens? If so, is said value jolie laide or conventional? Have you ever had gymnophoria? Do you groak? When you engage in omphaloskepsis, do you ever find a phlug?
Sciamachy = shadowboxing
Omphaloskepsis = navel gazing / deep introspection
Obsimath = like a polymath, but learning later in life
Abibliophobia = fear of running out of reading material
Dromomania = a crazed passion for travel
Millihelen = the beauty required to launch a single ship (re: Helen of Troy)
Jolie laide = unconventional beauty
Gymnophoria = queasy feeling someone is undressing you with their eyes
Groak = stare at some else's food hoping to be offered some
Phlug = bellybutton lint
READING REPORT: March 27, 2015
I finished The Painted Word this week. This book is a collection of words that the author finds noteworthy and intriguing as well as the definitions, origins, and interesting usages. There's a loose theme of art (as the title might suggest), but it's not particularly blatant and one might miss it if there weren't quite a so many names of colors that probably didn't appear in your Crayon box. There are also painting plates used as the books only graphics. Many of the words are one's that will be well-known to the average reader, but others might be new additions to one's vocabulary such as: bafflegab (misleading language), farteur (a professional and/or musical farter), and gymnophoria (the uneasy feeling that someone is undressing one with their eyes.)
I purchase a few new books this week, including: The Stationary Ark (a book by Gerald Durrell about running a zoo), Submission (a Story of O-style tell-all / novel by another Parisian woman), Dodger by Terry Pratchett (Pratchett recently passed away. I've only read one of his books to date [the first disc world book], but enjoyed it more than any fantasy book I've ever read [not my favorite genre.] This one is apparently Dickensian.), and 100 Films to See before you Die (The nice thing about this one is that it's written by Anupama Chopra for the Times of India, and–therefore–features not only Indian [Bollywood and other] and Hollywood films but also other global films. I suspect that if I got the same book by an American author it would be 98 to 100% Hollywood–i.e. with maybe a couple French films thrown in if it was a particularly pretentious American film critic.)
The only book that I spent significant time on that I haven't mentioned in past Reading Reports was Gotham Writers Workshop: Writing Fiction. I read about half of this book a while back, before I got distracted by other readings (in truth, I got burned out on writing books.) However, I'll now try to plow through this to the end, as well as a few of the other writing books that I'm pretty far into. It's really a good book on the elements of fiction writing.
Besides those, I've been reading a book, Yoga Education for Children, Vol. 1, that I introduced last week. It's the text for the yoga teacher training that I'm currently attending (RCYT). I'm about 2/3rds of the way through it.

BOOK REVIEW: Why Do People Get Ill? by Darian Leader and David Corfield
Why Do People Get Ill? by David Corfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book's title might suggest that it's about the germ theory of disease or genetic anomalies, but it's actually about why some people exposed to germs or carcinogens don't get ill, while other people become ill at the drop of the hat—even when they have no exposure to the immediate cause of illness. (e.g. A Japanese study found that hypersensitive subjects had skin reactions when exposed to a harmless leaf when they were told that it was from a lacquer tree [i.e. that it was mildly toxic.]) It's well established that stress plays a role in one's level of health. Of course, it's not merely the presence of stress, but the nature of it and how it's dealt with that matter. Our bodies are supremely skilled at conquering invaders and repairing damage as long as our parasympathetic nervous system is engaged sufficiently for our body to do the work of fighting infection and healing. Leader and Corfield's core argument is that it's how we worry rather than what we worry about (or even whether we worry) that influences proclivity to become ill. More specifically, the authors propose that the inability to communicate feelings can play a significant role in one's propensity for illness.
The authors review many interesting studies from medical literature. For example, rhinovirus may be a necessary condition for a cold, but it's not a sufficient condition. In other words, many exposed individuals never become symptomatic. The same has been shown for tuberculosis, malaria, and a host of other ailments. (It may be true for all ailments.) Another fascinating study found that sporadic bombing in London's suburbs correlated with higher ulcer rates than the constant bombardment in the city. This suggested that the predictability of a stressor was important vis-a-vis its health effects—apparently more important than the presence or severity of the stressor. Also, there are the many studies about the correlation between certain times / events and disease onset (the most well-known of these is that the most frequent time of death from heart attack is between 8 and 9 in the morning on a Monday.)
Leader and Corfield make a compelling argument in support of their thesis that's rooted in an extensive review of the scientific literature on the quirky complexities of illness. I'm not certain that I'm completely convinced that what they believe is most important is what is in reality most important. (To be fair, it's not a matter of deficiency of approach so much as the complexity of disease onset and the difficulty of establishing a hierarchy of importance.) However, the beautiful part of the scientific approach is that even if one doesn't buy the authors' arguments hook-line-and-sinker, the book is still a valuable read because it presents a great deal of research–as well as some interesting food for thought on the present state of the medical establishment. I suspect the authors didn't win many friends with medical doctors, given the strong critique they present. Leader and Corfield point out, what most of us have long suspected, that the money-makers in healthcare are expensive pharmaceuticals and surgery, and that this has created a dangerous incentive. Of course, the authors' point is that this has undermined the value that psychological approaches might have, but the same could be said to be true for postural realignment therapies or other neglected approaches to treatment. The last chapter is a searing critique of the state of the medical profession that suggests that doctors are disproportionately ill-conditioned to listen to patients and to get to the root causes of their ailments.
The book's organization is reasonable, but could have been improved. There's a great chapter on the immune system, but it's chapter 11 of 15 chapters. It would have been useful to move that text closer to the front of the book so that readers would have access to this primer as they considered why the solution might be found internally rather than in the medicines and surgeries that they are conditioned to believe are in virtually all cases necessary.
Of course, I understand that the authors' thrust is on the psychological rather than the biological/physiological front, and this undoubtedly played into the organizational decisions. It may be true that the book isn't about how a body can knock out ailments, but why it occasionally fails to; however, understanding how we defeat illness is an important part of the backstory.
There are important chapters on heart conditions and cancer. These are important not only because those diseases are major killers, but because these are the nasty diseases that many will be skeptical of the relevance of mind-body factors. In other words, many will accept that our attitude and approach to stress may be relevant in whether one breaks out in hives, catches the flu, or gets an ulcer—but may not except that a force as powerful as cancer can be swayed by one's mindset and behaviors.
I'd recommend this book for anyone interested in how good health can be fostered.

Repotting Giant Parhelion
As some of you may know, I have a large Parhelion that was growing in a 13" clay pot under my Japanese Maple. This plant has been in this pot about 6 years.
Well last night I decided to move the pot from under the tree since it seemed like it was getting too crowded. I struggled to pick up the pot and move it and managed to get it out of the garden and then the bottom fell off the pot. Sooo...now I was stuck with a big plant in a bottomless clay pot. Couldn't leave it like that too long or those roots would take hold in the ground.
I thought about planting it directly in the ground but I don't really have a big enough shady space for that monster, so today I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home from work and picked up a large 23" X 23" plastic pot. It is a cute blue color and looks like a ceramic pot but isn't. It was only about $28.
Then came the fun part...how to get the plant into the new pot. With some help from my 24 yr old son, we put some new potting soil mixed with pine bark in the bottom the pot to bring it up to the right level and then picked up the clay pot and sat it inside the new pot. Then he broke the clay pot with a hammer and pulled out the pieces and added soil to the sides of the plant.
I think he looks very nice in his new pot. I don't know how long he will be able to stay in this pot but it works for now. He measures almost 5' across at this point.
Here are some pictures of Parhelion in the new pot now sitting on the deck under the gazebo.
Boy am I glad that job is done. It is 96 degrees outside right now and too hot to be doing that much work.
Before the move
New pot
Wow. All I can comment is, that Parhelion knew you loved him because he looks so well tended with perfect leaves. Otherwise he'd have croaked. Nice to have a son helping with the heavy stuff.
Do you think it will grow even wider? In a pot? Oh my, that sure does set off alarm bells because my hosta are in pots almost entirely, some are large or XL or Giant, and I always thought the pot would limit the size.
Oops. Slight miscalculation. ;)
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. He certainly is a big boy and I am betting he is going to get bigger in the new pot. The original pot was 13" wide x 15" deep and now he has much more room to grow. I guess we will find out next year.
Mocc, All I can say is Ya better be lookin for some bigger pots LOL, I too had read that a pot would limit the size and maybe it has? Maybe it would have been bigger in the ground. My Sum and Substance is planted in the ground and is bigger than Parhelion but it is also much older.
I also have a few more large plants that are planted in pots but probably have a few more years before they will be really big. I have been watching the shade patterns in my yard to try and figure out where would be a good spot to make a new garden.
Thanks again,
Tropic lover,My Parhelion grows in the ground,under no overhead shade,and gets a lot of afternoon sun,and it has always grown very well. They can take more sun than you think! As for pots being root-bound in a pot,I bought a Old Glory hosta last year,and when I took it out of the pot it was so root-bound,I couldn't believe it could have lived in that pot so long, There was no more planting medium left,and I had to straighten out the roots for quite a while before I could even plant it. Well I did plant it,and this year it is twice as big in its new home in the garden! Phil
I love American Eskimos. They are great little dogs. We had one across the alley for years. She loved the DH. He took her treats every day. Great Dogs!
Oh yeah, that's a beautiful hosta.
I, too, hope the pot helps control the size of the hosta. My biggest one, Sum and Substance, was set back when the darling demon doglet knocked it over several times last year. It came back smaller this year, which didn't hurt my feelings.
That American Eskimo is a beauty, too.
Thanks for your nice comments. I love dogs and these two are pretty fun. We adopted the Husky from the shelter a little over a year ago and she has turned out to be a really good dog. The Eskimo is my baby and he follows me everywhere. Such a sweetie!
Bkay- I also have Sum and Substance in the ground and it is at least 6 feet across. I gave my daughter a small chunk of it this year and she also has it planted in a pot. She lives in a townhouse and only has a small patio. I bet it's not long before it gets really big too.
How big was your Sum and Substance and how big is the pot?
This leaves me wondering exactly how big can a hosta get when grown in a pot? Parhelion is the biggest plant I've ever had in a pot. I love it though!
Oh, TropicLover, you for sure would block the exits with that one!
Glad I read all the way down the thread so I could laugh at it.
But what I'm quoting is from earlier in the thread.....
you said, " I have been watching the shade patterns in my yard to try and figure out where would be a good spot to make a new garden.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean about watching the shade patterns. The other day, I sat quite still on the sun porch steps studying the movement of shade and sun across this newly rejuvenated flower bed on the south of my driveway, which catches the afternoon sun.
Where else but gardening could sitting there, watching and studying the lengthening shadows, the sun intruding further beneath the leafy shrubs, .....where else could it be an ACTIVITY?
It reached 101 today here, in the shade. Studying shade is a very important aspect of keeping our gardens alive, and in conserving water. I'm sure we will begin hearing more and more about that as the summer kicks off.
Glad to hear you are watching the shade too.

Crete is a magical quilt of splendid beaches, ancient treasures and landscapes encompassing vibrant cities and dreamy villages, where locals will share with you their traditions, wonderful cuisine and generous spirit. Bewitching Scenery Crete is in many respects the culmination of the Greek experience. Nature here has been as prolific as Picasso in his prime.
Ringed with cinnamon sand and ink blue sea, the Cyclades (kih-klah-dez; Κυκλάδες) are natural magnets.

I have now used this Eyeliner for several years and find this to be the best in consistency and also the fine brush which is included is far superior to other brushes/ I have now been using liquid eye-liner since the 1960's and always receive many complimentary comments about how good my eye make-up looks. The colours which I most prefer in this eye liner, are the blue and sage green which sadly have now been discontinued at the present time but may be brought back again in the next promotion range.Cresswell, West Mdlands

wetting agents
i have a bag of peat moss that says it contains an organic wetting agent called yucca extract (from yucca schidigera saponins 0.0001%) will this hurt sarracencia or dionaea?
I googled it:
Yucca is a flowering plant in the Lilaceae family that grows mostly in desert areas of the United States and Mexico. It typically has stiff leaves with needle sharp ends. There are dozens of varieties, such as Spanish dagger and giant Yucca, which can range in sizes. They tolerate high temperatures and sparse watering but may be killed by cold. Yucca extract is a consumable product derived from these plants.
The word âÂÂsoapâ is often used in conjunction with Yucca and Yucca extract. This is because the plant can be used to make soap products for both external and internal use. Native Americans are believed to have used Yucca extract and other parts of the plant for centuries.
Modern usage is mainly limited to the roots. This is from where yucca extract, which is noted for its soapy texture, is normally produced. That extract was believed to have been widely used by the Native Americans for making soaps and shampoos. Even today, people can be found who use it for this purpose.
When it is consumed, it can also act as a detergent for the digestive system. It is widely used to wash toxins from the intestines. Build up of toxins is believed to be the cause of many conditions such as arthritis, colitis, and migraines. These conditions are often alleviated as well.
Since yucca extract is not a drug, it is typically classified as alternative medicine. There is not much reputable scientific support for its use. It does, however, contain many useful nutrients, such as iron, selenium, and vitamins A and B.
Yucca extract may be recommended for the use of several medical conditions. One of the most popular uses is to lower cholesterol. This may be possible due to saponins, which act as antibiotics for plants. Saponins are believed to bind with bile, which encourages the liver to produce more. To do this, cholesterol must be removed from the blood, and since it is not reabsorbed into the body, the cholesterol is passed as waste.
Many health food stores sell yucca extract. There are generally no side effects associated with consumption. It may be available in the form of tablets, capsules, or tea.
Yucca extract is also used to control the smell of animal waste. This is possible because saponins bind to ammonia and prevent the smell from passing through the air. It is commonly found in food for cats and dogs. It may also be found in cat litter.
Therm Xâ¢70 is a natural wetting agent derived from yucca. It contains 70% concentrated yucca extract, which helps plants overcome adverse water conditions and is a great sticker for other sprays. It will increase your crop's ability to germinate and establish in stressed conditions, and well as increase its water and fertilizer uptake.
Crop yields increase! ThermX70 increases permeability in heavy clay soil, and reduces salt and alkali problems by improving drainage. It also stimulates root growth, extending the area irrigation reaches. When it is applied to a stressed area, there are immediate noticeable results. It will reduce irrigation costs because the crop can go longer between irrigations. OMRI listed. View certificate.
Directions for Use:
Wetting Agent: 2-3 oz/acre, alone or in combination with other foliars. Less than one acre: ü tsp /gallon water.
Soil: 16 oz /acre, once a year on good ground, twice a year for alkaline soil. Less than one acre, 1-2 tsp/gallon water.
Liquid Yucca Extract
Healthy soil requires many things. Water is one of the most important. Without water, plants cannot survive, the soil microbes that support them cannot survive, and essential nutrients cannot be transported through the soil.
Some soils, however, aren't able to absorb the water they need. Heavy clay soils, soils with low organic matter, and highly compressed soils, are notoriously impermeable to water. To support good fertility, these soils require supplementation with a wetting agent, which improves permeability, soil structure, and water-holding capacity.
Liquid Yucca Extract is a 100% natural wetting agent derived from Yucca schidegera . Our Yucca Extract is cold-pressed for maximum biological activity. As a wetting agent, Yucca Extract can be added to almost any liquid fertilizer mix, as part of an overall fertilization program.
Liquid Yucca Extract:
Increases soil permeability, allowing water and nutrients to reach plants faster
Improves the soil's water-holding capacity
Improves soil structure
Is 100% Organic
Is cold-pressed for maximum biological efficacy
Is derived from Yucca schidigera
Directions for Use
Soil Drench: Use 1 gallon of liquid yucca per 100 gallons of water.
Spray: Use 3 ounces of liquid yucca per 100 gallons of water.

In 2007 the building was tcompletely refurbished by the architect Bernardo Bessa Monteiro, in a modern style without losing the original identity of the apartment of a classic and traditional style. Composed originally for 7 divisions, the apartment was transformed into a large T3 consisting of a living room with balcony and three suites, four bathrooms, kitchen and a pantry. The spacious 53.5 m2 living room has two environments that distinguish the living area from the dining area. The kitchen is very well equipped. It has also a terrace for the exclusive use of the apartment with 115m2, which lets you enjoy a secluded environment in the city center.

Make yourself at home. Help yourself to coffee, tea, snacks, anything! If the plants need watering, just give em a little sip of water. Please no cigarette smoking in apartment. Have fun!
Phillip had arranged for the keys to be picked up at a deli around the corner, which all worked well and we found the apartment easily. His instructions were clear and easy to follow. The apartment is on the fourth floor, with no elevator, so it's good for exercise! It was small and cosy, very warm and everything worked. It was a bit noisy, with doors in the foyer rattling on a windy night and street noise, but I guess that is expected in the city that never sleeps. All in all it was a good stay.
A very nice place to stay in NYC! We were 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) and the appartment was fine.
Nice district with a lot of restaurants and Bar.
Subway station very close with a central line.
Try de Taqueria (just down) and the Meatball (Stanton street), delicious and fun!
Thanks Phil for this great time!
We had a perfect time in NYC. The apartment is located in a super interesting street with a knife UNBELIEVABLE Sushi place right across. Will definitely stay here again!
Isaac (the cleaner) was awesome, helped us sort out a mix-up with the key (key wasn't in deli when we arrived) and gave us all sorts of helpful advice. Ended up being a really nice place to stay.
We had a nice stay! Great location, close to the subway and lots of bars and restaurants as well as a nice running path down by the East River. The apartment is not fancy by any means, but it's perfectly comfortable and is a great jumping off point to go explore the city. Phil was super friendly, provided great neighborhood recommendations, and flexible on our check-in and check-out times, which was great.
A group of friends and I stayed in the apartment whilst they were visiting New York for the week. The apartment is even better in real life than the pictures show. There was more than enough room for us and everything was spotless. Philip was great host as well! He sent clear and precise instructions on how to get in the apartment, where to find things, and about checkout. He left us plenty of extra blankets and towels as well, and we were able to check out late in the evening (which was incredibly helpful). As well, the neighborhood if full of fun bars and seems very safe (we had no trouble at all when roaming around at two in the morning) . Will definitely look into booking this apartment again next time I'm in the city.
Le quartier est super sympa, vivant avec plein de petits restos et de pub, l'accès au métro proche, l'appartement est tel qu'il était décrit donc sympa aussi, fonctionnel et propre. Pour ce qui est de la réservation via AirBnB, des contacts avec Philip, la mise à dispo rien à dire tout s'est très bien déroulé. Donc merci Philip et AirBnB, à une prochaine.
Toutefois je ne mets que 3 étoiles car Philip a un petit soucis à régler pour mériter 4,5 étoiles.

Hi There!
My name is Phil and I've been living in New York City for 8 years. I love the New York because it has everything you could ever want: nightlife, great food, shopping, and quick access to some of the most amazing landmarks and sightseeing on earth.
I keep a very clean and well appointed home. I'm the kind of Host that will swing by at 9am to bring you a fresh pound of coffee if you need it. :)
When I'm not playing Host, I work as a freelance musician and sound engineer from a studio I own on Rivington Street.
I tend to keep busy but love to find time to slow down, read a book, or just listen to music. I love travelling, and look forward to visiting India someday...
If this is your first time, or millionth time, visiting NYC, you can't find a better place to stay. Feel free to send me a message and I'll respond right away.
Looking forward to hosting you on your travels.

The Australian Marine Conservation Society is Australia's only national charity dedicated exclusively to protecting ocean wildlife and their homes.
The coal industry is accelerating their plans to build a mega port at Abbot Point, on the Great Barrier Reef coast. It's a race against time.
We can't let the mining giants get a foothold on our Reef. Mega mines need mega ports and mega ports mean more dredging, more dumping, more pollution, more ships and more problems for our beloved Reef.
Please DONATE what you can now, and help us take on the mining industry.
Together, we will stop one of the world's biggest coal ports at Abbot Point, stop the damaging dredging in the Reef's waters, stop the super shipping highway from hurting our defenceless turtles, dugongs and whales.
Three years ago, we made history. With overwhelming community support, the Australian Government created the largest network of marine sanctuaries in the world.
But the sanctuaries we fought so hard for could be taken away, with the Abbott Government reviewing these safe havens for our sea life.
Marine sanctuaries are one of the best tools for protecting our oceans. They give our sea life a much needed break and they support tourism, local business and world-class fishing.
Right now the review is open for comment and they want to hear from you.
The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) today welcomed the decision of the Wangan & Jagalingou people to oppose the development of the proposed Carmichael coal mine on their ancestral lands in the Galilee Basin.
An environmental group has renewed its calls to ban dredging, after a report about its impacts on the Great Barrier Reef.
FOR Justin Bruhn, the best way to help save underwater treasures like the Great Barrier Reef is by immersing himself in his subject.
