Senate Panel's Report On CIA Calls Harsh Tactics Ineffective
Democrats on the Senate intelligence committee released a report saying the CIA misled higher-ups and didn't accurately describe its post-Sept. 11 interrogation tactics. The CIA disputes the findings.

'Botnets' are costing advertisers billions
Want to watch Taylor Swift's new music video? First, you're supposed to sit through a video ad. How much advertisers pay for that ad depends on how many times it's viewed.
However, almost a quarter of the impressions registered for online video ads are fraudulent, according to a new report from the Association of National Advertisers, which found hackers are faking views with networks of computers called "botnets" that make it seem like an ad's been viewed by a person, when it was really just a computer.
That means advertisers are losing money on these fake views, says Bill Duggan of the Association of National Advertisers.
"While fraud hurts all of the players, publishers, advertisers, and agencies, it hurts the advertisers the most," he says.
These phony views come up in nearly every conversation that Lauren Fisher, an analyst with eMarketer, has with brands and agencies.
"It's even going so far as deterring some people from investing in buying video ads because they are so concerned about the level of fraud that they just don't want to take the risk of losing money in that manner," she says.
Advertisers may lose $6.3 billion to this type of fraud next year, according to an advertisers association estimate.
An oversupply of oil isn't all good
There's simply an oversupply of oil right now, and too much supply causes prices fall – They're currently near five-year lows. And when prices fall, oil companies have to cut back.
ConocoPhillips says it plans to cut spending 20 percent next year, and will slow activity in U.S. shale oil and gas exploration. BP is expected to announce layoffs Wednesday.
The low prices have come as a shock to many in the industry, says Jeffrey Grossman, president of BRG Brokerage.
"They were hoping for a big next year or two," he says. "Now suddenly it's, 'Uh oh, if this price doesn't go up, I'm spending $75 to pull something up that I can only get $65.' That's not a trade you want to make."
With prices this low, Torbjørn Kjus, chief oil analyst at Norway's DNB Markets, says companies have a few options. He expects more companies will announce job cuts, slash spending and delay investments in new projects.
"Some of them will also probably borrow more money," he says. "Some also might even touch the dividends, but that will be seen as very negative by the investors and the shareowners."
Kjus says because dividend cuts often hurt companies' stock price, oil executives often view them as a last resort.

The Kochs: Big brothers of personal data
The Koch brothers and their network of big-money players are investing millions into a data company that's developing detailed profiles on millions of Americans.
At this point, along with all the other in-house expertise the network has, the Koch's political operation could be a privatized national party all on its own if they wanted it to be.
"When you have this outside money paying for the latest technology, you really have a very potent force," says Ken Vogel, a reporter for Politico. "That's what the Koch brothers have, perhaps ever more so than the Republican National Committee or the Democratic National Committee."

Airbnb currently has about 300,000 more than the number of beds of either Hilton and Marriott.

When the flu vaccine targets the wrong strain (like it did this year), it means more people will get sick. According to some estimates, businesses spent almost $140,000 more on flu-related costs per 100,000 workers the last time federal scientists made the wrong guess.9 times
That's how much viewership on YouTube has increased since 2010. Online video hasn't just exploded, it's in the middle of a big bang and it's already produced a staggering number of largely independent and niche producers and channels whose viewership rivals television and movies, but attract young audiences that don't fit the conventional wisdom attached to those media. The New Yorker took a deep dive this week into the lives of YouTube and Vine "creators" and their uneasy relationship with an entertainment industry that sees dollar signs but doesn't know how to grab on to such a rapidly changing business.

The path of recovery from a violent past
Rachel stands behind a row of metal buffet trays full of pasta and fried fish, lined up on a table skirted in white fabric. She is demur and quiet. She, unlike many of the men in the room, exhibits no desire to be in the spotlight or consume the oxygen in the room.
Her past, much like this region's, is complex and fraught. In 1996, Rachel was 16. Neighboring Rwanda's genocidal ethnic war had been spilling into Congo for several years, bringing economic, political, and personal chaos to millions of people. Rachel was one of those people.
"My family had left, they fled when the soldiers were coming," she remembers. "But I had gone back to the house, I was trying to hide."
"They came into the house, five or six soldiers. They raped me," she says.
Tragically, Rachel was just one of the millions of women who had to endure sexual violence during Congo's long and vicious wars.
Rachel stayed with an elderly neighbor for a few months, but decided to leave. "I felt like I had no value in my neighborhood anymore," she says. "So I decided to become a soldier myself. I wanted people to fear me, to respect me."
She joined the Mai Mai rebel group, one of many dozens rampaging through Eastern Congo in the late 90's and early 2000's (and to some extent still today) as the social fabric and infrastructure of the region became unmoored.
30,000 children were serving as soldiers in 2003 in Eastern Congo, many conscripted against their will. Living in the forest, they moved from camp site to camp site, sometimes witnessing or participating in violence of the most brutal kind.
Rachel says her wish came true. People did fear her. "They knew that I could kill them or hit them or do something to them," she says. "They knew I had the capacity and spirit to do it."
When fighting began to calm down, her group agreed to merge with the Congolese army, which represented the same forces who'd raped her years before. It was at this time she also found out her mother was still alive, back in Bukavu.
"I deserted, and I came back to Bukavu. They arrested me there for desertion," she says.
In prison, she became pregnant. Out of prison, and now with a three month old, she moved back in with her mother—A happy, if complicated reunification. Making a living proved tough. What once made her feared now made her suspect.
"People said, 'Oh she's a soldier! She'll kill us! She's a thief!'" she says.
She became a prostitute for a time. Another child and a failed marriage later—her husband shunned her after learning about her past—she decided to learn a trade.
She arrived at Laissez Afrique Vivre, a school for ex combattants, where she learned how to cook: "I studied hospitality, hotelerie."
Behind Rachel are shimmery lavender bows and pleated white fabric covering the walls and table. "All of these decorations, I did them," she says.
Buffet trays of rice and fried plantains are added to the lineup, part of a banquet for special guests.
"I can cook anything int he Congolese kitchen," Rachel says. "Not so much your European food, but any Congolese food you like, I can cook!"
Rachel caters, she makes street food. She likes to make wedding cakes. She has two children now and pays their way to school. Her dream now is to work in a hotel.
"I don't think about the past."
Off-target flu shot will cost employers
Every year, federal scientists make a bet on the flu—They try to figure out the dominant flu strain, and vaccine makers produce a flu shot to fight that strain.
"In some years, the prediction is on the mark, and in some years the prediction is further away from the mark," says Dr. Bruce Lee, an associate professor of international health at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. This year, the vaccine is off the mark, which probably means more flu, he says. "We'll see more cases this year, and more severe cases."
Lee says, the last time this happened, businesses spent almost $140,000 more on flu-related costs per 100,000 workers.
But employers can fight back.
"You could increase the number of shifts so there are not as many people working together in the office. Some companies limit the number of meetings," says John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
And Challenger says employers should still encourage their workers to get a flu shot. Because, doctors say, even if you get the flu anyway, you carry less virus. And that's good news for your co-workers.
Former child soldiers find rehabilitation a hard road
A handful of young men in their twenties are busy on the side of the road here in Bukavu, wielding a welding machine that looks as though it barely survived the wars itself.
"We're fixing this motorcycle," says Daniel Baguma over the din of a saw.
Putting things back together seems an apt profession for people whose lives came to pieces as children. Eastern Congo has endured two decades of conflict that began when Rwanda's genocidal war spilled across its borders. It proved too much for the fragile Congolese state to handle, and the region descended into chaos.
Thousands of children were swept up by armed groups for use as forced labor or military manpower. As many as 30,000 children were used as child soldiers in 2003. That number has shrunk to an estimated 3,000 or so as violence has declined, some armed groups have demobilized, and a patchwork of peace agreements have been signed.
For some child soldiers those days are distant memories; for others they remain open wounds.
"I was out in the country side, taking care of some cattle, and they took me. That's how it started," says Baguma.
He was 12, and "they" were the Mai Mai — one of dozens of armed groups fighting in Congo in the early 2000's. The group still exists, even though many of the soldiers have since been integrated into the Congolese Arms Forces.
"I started carrying luggage for them. All of a sudden you don't have a home anymore. You just go. You're just walking through whatever town you find yourself in. You're just ... dispersed."
Baguma remembers those days as he sits down to dinner with friends, many of them former child soldiers like himself. It's a bit like a reunion for Peter Pan's lost boys.
"I was smoking a lot of weed and taking a lot of drugs. These were the Mai Mai drugs; you inject them and people can't shoot you," he says of the drugs the Mai Mai believed imparted supernatural powers during battle. "I regret it. It messed with my mind."
Pascal Birashirwa was even younger than Baguma when he was taken. He was just 10.
"My father was fetching water for the toilet," when the soldiers appeared, he says. His father fled, and told everyone in town that his son was dead. His family and neighbors went into mourning.
In the jungle, picked up by soldiers, Birashirwa roamed the countryside. "Sometimes they would give me food, sometimes they wouldn't. Sometimes the commanders would eat and leave me with nothing, guarding the camp," he recalls. "I couldn't leave. It was all I knew."
None of the young men like talking about what they did or saw done in the five, seven, sometimes eight years they spent with the armed groups.
"I never killed people, only enemies," says Birashirwa. "And whatever happened out there stays out there."
When their groups demobilized in 2010, the boys—now nearly young men—found their way back to town. Everyone thought they had died.
"They were so happy," says Birashirwa. "So, so happy to see me."
Likewise, the whole neighborhood came out to celebrate for Baguma when he came back.
But the joy was short-lived.
"My family was disappointed," says Birashirwa. His shame is typical. "They said I could've gone to school, but I came back smoking weed and cigarettes."
"When we compare our lives with the lives of someone who stayed in town, stayed in school, did the usual route, they have had successful lives. We're still figuring ours out," says Baguma.
While many Congolese sympathize with child soldiers, they are often suspicious of them as well. It can make finding work difficult. Baguma spent a year essentially doing nothing, wondering if he should return to the forest.
Learning some basic literacy skills and some kind of vocation has been critical to reintegrating young people whose childhoods were stolen by armed groups. But sometimes they've needed to learn things that were much more basic.
"Things like: you're allowed to make eye contact with people. It's OK to disagree with people when having a conversation. You are valuable as a person and you have the right to determine your own future," says Jocelyn Kelly, director of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative.
"These are the skills that are so incredibly human and basic, but often, especially for young girls who were in armed groups, [they] had no idea no idea were available to them," she says.
HHI helped do a study of what worked and what didn't when integrating former child soldiers. A lot of groups have tried a lot of different things.
"Cash payouts, a kit that has basic household goods, trying to engage people in small income generating activities," she says.
Fly by night operations that gave a group of young, male child soldiers a goat and a pat on the back, and then left after a few months—and Kelly says programs like this did exist—did not work. And former child soldiers whose psychological needs weren't met, suffered.
Some ended up institutionalized.
"I mean it's kind of the foundation of everything you're expected to do. If you don't have that basic capacity to engage with people, overcome anxiety or symptoms of PTSD, you're not going to be able to engage with a job in any way shape or form," she says.
Child soldier survivors need sustained follow up care—essentially a caseworker—and so do their parents, says Kelly. "I've not seen many programs at all deal with the effects on families," she says. Parents are anguished that they can no longer seem to communicate or connect with their children; a typical problem for parents of teenagers, made exponentially more intense by a parent's knowledge that just on the other side of their childrens' eyes is an ungraspable reality of deprivation and trauma.
If they could just get through.
Both Pascal Birashirwa and Daniel Baguma were lucky enough to find a place at Laissez Afrique Vivre, a school for former child soldiers. They learned welding. For Baguma, who now has his own children, his new career seems to be working out.
"Business is good," he says. "I know a lot of people who respect my work, I have work, I make money, I feed my kids." He's built a house, and he's paying his children's way through school.
Pascal Birashirwa is having a little more trouble.
"I could've gone to school. I could've had a life. Welding is giving me money day to day, but I can't plan on anything bigger than that," he says.
Back at the welding shop, former child soldiers are smoothing off some scarred metal on a door they repaired. They're trying to smooth away their own scars too.
Airbnb confronts an unusual marketing challenge
Airbnb, the home sharing website, is now by some measures the largest lodging provider in the world. It's valued at over $10 billion and has a million listings — that's about 300,000 more than the number of beds of either Hilton and Marriott.
Bob Thorson rents out his Washington, DC apartment while he's out of the city. Guests find his place online, pay $130 a night, and get a cool apartment in one of the city's trendiest neighborhoods. But once you're inside, there's nothing that indicates it was rented through Airbnb.
Andrew Schapiro, head of brand creative teams at Airbnb, says he recognized that disconnect.
"Every day hundreds of thousands of people are traveling on Airbnb and staying in homes all over the world," Schapiro says. "How do we actually share stories of those people who are on those travel adventures?"
So, this winter, Airbnb will publish its first issue of "Pineapple," a magazine that will be sent to hosts and bookstores around the world. It will contain stories from three of its most popular cities: San Francisco, London, and Seoul. Pineapple is an effort to address what other companies in the so-called sharing economy have faced when they make it big: moving their online success into real-world brand loyalty.
"It kind of expresses how Airbnb can fit into the greater travel landscape, and that's part of the issue; people have some sense of Airbnb in general, but not really how it fits in," says Bjorn Hanson, a hospitality professor at NYU.
The area where Airbnb and its hosts still haven't figured out where they fit in is with the law. New York's attorney general has set his sights on the company, which he says enables hosts to violate zoning and hotel laws. In fact, it was hard to find an Airbnb host willing to be interviewed. They said they worry about breaking the law, breaking their lease, their condo board rules, or just about irritating their neighbors.
Thorson owns his place, but some of his fellow host friends are renters. When asked what they do, Thorson says, "they try to skirt it. They just hope that they don't get found out."
So guests will soon be able to flip through Pineapple to plan their next travel adventure, even if their hosts would prefer that nobody find out that they're there.

1 United Refining Company uses the term EBITDA or Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, which is a term not defined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company uses this term because it is a widely accepted financial indicator utilized to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and is used to calculate certain debt coverage ratios included in several of the Company's debt agreements. See reconciliation of EBITDA to net income in table set forth below. The Company's method of computation of EBITDA may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Learn how to prevent users with administrator rights from deleting files in a Windows Server 2003 network.
However, be aware that administrators will always have the ability to take ownership of a file or folder and modify permissions as they see fit, thus granting themselves the privilege that was originally denied. (You can enable auditing on folders so at least this type of action will be recorded in the Security log.)

LPN or RN - page 3
Hello everyone! I'm an IEN here in Manitoba and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to pursue LPN or RN first because many people here were telling me that RN processing takes 2 years. Is it... Read More
0Dec 19, '12 by Daisy_08Quote from vintageandreaI work at a 600 or so bed hosp in SW ON. The only times RPNs are in the ICU is if they are short. They are working quite a bit in Emerg, and some in L&D, not the NICU. The ICU is very difficult for RNs to get into. You must have quite a bit of experiences and many additional courses to be considered. Some small hospitals have less requirements, but also ship out many pts to us or other more equip hospitals.I am interested in critical care, and as a practical nursing student messaged our provincial RPN association asking them if RPNs can work in the ICU and other critical care areas. They replied to me and said that these areas are not within the scope of practice of an RPN due to the unpredictability of the patients. So I don't know if RPNs are in these areas in Ontario.
1Dec 20, '12 by joanna73 GuideYou will see LPNs/RPNs utilized in every area of nursing across the country, which is a positive for everyone. For one thing, although there are funding cuts, in the very near future, LPNs and RNs will be needed in large numbers as the mass exodus and the aging demographics take hold. RNs will continue to be encouraged to obtain Masters degrees (although realistically, this is another over rated piece of paper). And aside from the fact that my RN salary is not cost effective, many RNs and LPNs don't want to work full time. So in order to fill some of these lines, the mix of RN and LPN is required.
2Dec 20, '12 by petethecanuck, BSN, RNI've applied and hope to start my MN at the U of C in Sept. It all depends on what you want to do with that "over rated piece of paper".
2Dec 20, '12 by joanna73 GuideThat's great Pete! I'm all for higher education, and I enjoyed nursing school. At some point, I will also pursue a Masters. However, a Masters degree is still over rated, IMO. Many of the current nursing positions aside from the NP role did not require a Masters before. You needed x years bedside experience and a few certifications. But it is what it is.
0Jan 15, '13 by ian_onymous, BSN, RNQuote from jam_bv15How long have you been waiting from them since you completed the requirements?Good Luck to you! I am waiting to hear from CLPNM too
0Jan 16, '13 by ian_onymous, BSN, RNThe only documents I lack for CRNM are from the school and the employer. I've heard that you can contact CRNM and forward your documents to CLPNM if you want to apply for them.
0Jan 23, '13 by ian_onymous, BSN, RNQuote from tokidoki7It's not that expensive. You can do both at the same time.When would be a good time to apply to be an RN? My goal is to hopefully have permission to take the licensure exam, pass, and then apply to become an RN once I get a job as an LPN. It would be really expensive to apply for LPN and RN at the same time.

1990 Nissan 300ZX GS 2dr Coupe
I've only had this car for about 4 months but this car handles and accelerates better than some V8 cars I've owned/driven. I bought it with it needing injectors. Since then, it is absolutely AWESOME! I have a '93 twin turbo Stealth R/T, & a '00 Mustang GT and even w/ the Z being a non-turbo, it'll whip BOTH their a$$es, feels like a more solid, quality built car & is a lot more fun to drive. Just beware of mashing the gas halfway into a corner- it likes to swap ends, & get "squirrely". It'll also turn the back tires into pollution pretty easily at stop lights. Even being 20 yrs old, the styling/design has held up really well. I was in love w/ these cars when i was in H.S. & still am.

Found one with very low miles in pristine condition and just had to have it. Much faster and handles way better than the older ones by leaps and bounds! Do not buy it unless you know for a fact when the timing belt was replaced. The book say replace at 60K and they are serious about that. Cost on replacing the belt and water pumps is like 1200.00 so add that to the price of car and drive it to a Nissan dealer that day! It will break even if you are driving like grandma (and you won't, TRUST)! If it breaks, it will destroy the engine!! Even if it breaks while trying to start the engine. It is easy to get 300K+ out of one if you do this! If not, you will pay!

I have owned my 1990 300ZX since 1996 and I have the very highest possible praise for it. I still to this day enjoy driving it so very much. With the t-tops off and the sun shining what can I say? It just makes driving anywhere, vacation highway or intown city, a true joy. Since it is very reliable my cost of ownership has been and continues to be low. It's extremely well made with highest quality materials (shut the door and notice the sound it makes - s-o-l-i-d). Note the interior curve on the passenger side dash - still beautiful after all these years. A super car whose low price one can purchase it for according to BlueBook/Edmunds in no way, shape, or form matches its high quality.

This is the most responsive car ever and a real pleasure to drive. Maintenance increased right at 100,000 miles, but put some $ into the old girl, and she's running almost as good as new! I probably won't ever sell as long as I can keep her runnin'!

1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 2dr Coupe
I absolutely love my 300zx. If mine ever breaks or I get in a wreck I will do what ever I can to get another one. I have even had to drive it in the snow a few times this winter and it even does pretty good in that. I will tell anyone if you get a chance to drive or buy a 300zx DO IT. My 300zx is so much fun to drive I take back roads everywhere I go just to have fun on the curves. They are fun to drive from 30 mph to 132 mph is the fastest that I have had mine. Which if you ask me is darn good for a 1990 with over 120k miles on it. Overall I give it a 9.6. I love my Nissan 300zx its my baby.

The Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo, is a car that with a few modifations can real shock you with their power output. It comes stock with 300 hp, by adding after market turbos, turbo regulator, duel air intake & filters, and performance chip you will be able to outperform most sport cars on the road today. This will easily put you at over 400 hp. This will whip a new Corvette, BMW M3, Etc. When dealing with turbos power is so easy to gain, and you will gain so much more than in non turbo cars. If you want to spend money, because they can be expensive to maintain. I give this car an A, Thanks!

when i got the car it had 102,000 miles on it about 5,000 miles later the trans blew and the cam sensor went out. after i got all that taken care of the car has been good to me. there is a few upgraded parts that make the car one hell of a rocket like the boost controller and the jim wolf chip. so when i step on the gas now it just puts you back in your seat. I Would tell you to buy the car but only if you are willing to spend the money to fix it right in the first place.

One of the best sports cars I've ever driven. Excelent performance even non-turbo, getting so much attention -- not even funny. Book says 18mpg in a city, I'm running 23mpg -- incredibly low for this power.

It was hard to believe, what we saw that is. I am a Vikings' optimist, but I did not see us dominating in such a way as to feel confident. And yet as Toby Gerhart handed his old coach chance after chance, I knew we would still hold.
Minnesota's defense held San Francisco to 280 total yards. They rushed for a mere 89. They sacked Alex Smith three times, with Jared Allen's first seasonal sack and forced fumble sealing the game. Or was it Josh Robinson's late pick? Whichever, the Vikings won despite punting or fumbling their last five offensive series.
It was mostly defense that gave fans a sudden swagger. Chad Greenway was everywhere, totaling 13 tackles. Alex Smith was pressured repeatedly by the defensive line, forcing incompletions where touchdowns used to exist. And the secondary played well. Really. Well, except for a few near plays.
This case in point was highlighted by the Purple's response to the 94-yard kick return by the 49ers' Williams in the early 2nd half. Minnesota held San Francisco to a field goal, gaining only three yards. Then, the 49ers marched 86 yards and scored a touchdown in the subsequent possession. It was beginning to look like our formula for losing in early 2011. But not this year.. The last five 49ers' drives netted 65 yards combined, with three turnovers, two punts, and a rare 'three-and-out'. Minnesota proudly diplayed a tough defense. All game.
Last week's loss to the Colts had most of us feeling sour. A golden opportunity to go 2-0 wasted. The pessimists took over. They chastised Frazier and Musgrave. They wondered about Christian Ponder. And they lamented about the defense.
Where are they now?
Yes, I know, do not get too excited, it is only three weeks into a season coming off of two losing ones. But did you see some of the statistics of this game? How about the fact that Minnesota held the ball for 33:28 compared to 26:32 for the 49ers. We had 25 first downs. We were 7-14 in 3rd down conversions. Adrian Peterson had 107 total yards. Percy Harvin had 98. And Ponder did not get sacked nor intercepted.
Things are finer in Minnesota than they have been in a long time.
** On a sad note, I say farewell to Roger Lipelt. He coached my boys at Providence Academy, and my brother-in-law at Wayzata many years ago. A great man whom I will remember for charitable work, positive outlook, faith, and clever sayings. When I coach the 7th graders I hear myself saying 'this kid could play Fridays or Saturdays'. And I will always remember my boys taking a knee on the sidelines of every Lions' play. Always. Roger made a difference in so many lives.
Roger died of cancer after a glorious battle in which he taught us how to do that, too. Always coaching.

Removing Drywall Above Fireplace
I have an electric fireplace coming out of the main wall that is enclosed by drywall. The problem is that the drywall encloses the fireplace and goes all the way up to the ceiling.
I would like to remove the drywall above a certain height so I can put a mantle on top of the fireplace instead of the drywall extending all the way up to the ceiling.
As far as I know, the drywall above the fireplace is completely hollow.
I have someone professional coming in to put the mantle on for me, but I would like to save some money and remove the drywall myself.
Would this be difficult to do? Any advice would be much appreciated.
If you a little bit about carpentry, it won't be any problem since it is an electric fireplace with no flue. If you have never tackled any drywall projects and did any reframing, get someone else to do it. It involves a little more than just cutting out the drywall. You are going to have to cut off the studs going to the ceiling and reframe where they will put the mantel

Leaf sources?
Hi guys - I am getting back in to african violets and are looking for a starter pack of leaves from a handful of interesting plants that are more interested than what I see at Lowes. I looked at Travis' Violets, but they have a minimum or 25 leaves. Anyone know of vendors who will ship 5-10?
Thanks! I ended up getting 5 leaves from Lyndonlyon.com and I really like their selection. Here is what I ordered:
Irish Maiden
Strawberry Kiss
Apache Midnight
Champagne Pink Sport
Christmas Dream
So excited!!! Maybe I will have plantlets to trade soon!
You will be pleased with your order from Lyons. Be patient with the production of babies. They don't produce as quickly this time of year as in Spring or Summer when the temps are warmer. As you add more material to your collection, always be sure to isolate new acquisitions for at least 6 months so that you don't infect your clean collection with bugs or devastating diseases, such as INSV(impatiens necrotic spot virus).
Rob's(violetbarn) doesn't sell leaves, last time I checked anyway. He has a nice selection of starter plants.
I would also recommend Fred (The Green Mule on eBay). I've always received healthy, clean stock from him. Even through the isolation period, I've never seen any problems develop.
I'm a newbie on the forum, and would like to pass on an idea I've just discovered for starting tiny mini AV leaves: pot them up in the little white plastic coffee creamers you get with your take-out coffee. Works great! Snip small slits around the bottom for drainage with sissors.

With Congress scrambling to forge an agreement to avoid a package of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to kick in at the end of the year — known as the "fiscal cliff" — Rep. Tom Cole said Republicans should accept a deal that guarantees 98 percent of Americans would not suffer a tax increase that endangers the economic recovery.
"In my view, we all agree that we're not going to raise taxes on people that make less than $250,000. We should just take them out of this discussion right now, continue to fight against any rate increases, continue to work honestly for a much bigger deal," Cole, a conservative Republican from Oklahoma, told reporters.
While it is unclear how many other Republicans stand with Cole, his remarks provide hope for an eventual compromise, even if Republican congressional leaders, for now, are staying firm in their opposition to any tax rate increases as part of a fiscal cliff agreement.
Cole's stance, first conveyed privately to Republican colleagues in a meeting on Tuesday, was quickly rejected by House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner.
"I told Tom earlier ... that I disagreed with him," the top House Republican told reporters.
"You're not going to grow the economy if you raise taxes on the top two rates," Boehner said, adding Republicans would be willing to talk with Democrats about other kinds of revenue increases along with spending cuts.
Republicans have been adamant about extending the lower tax rates - enacted a decade ago under Republican President George W. Bush — for all taxpayers, including households earning more than $250,000 a year.
But with Democrats standing firm in their push to raise the top two rates on the wealthy in an effort to shrink budget deficits that have topped $1 trillion in each of the last four years, Cole's move reverberated through the Capitol.
Cole, said one senior House Republican aide, "is a pragmatist at his core. He knows which way the political winds are blowing" in his Oklahoma congressional district and in the country.
The aide added that while some in the House Republican leadership "are probably cursing his name, when all is said and done, he just may be shining a light" on what is to come in the high-stakes negotiations.
Boehner and the White House have an end-of-year deadline to avoid triggering about $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts in January that could throw the economy back into a recession.
A senior Senate Democratic aide said Cole's pronouncement "seems like Act Two of Boehner trying to explain reality to the tea party."
That refers to the large number of House Republicans elected in 2010 with the support of small-government tea party activists who vehemently oppose any tax increases. Boehner will have to sell many of them on any final agreement with Obama.
Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, Boehner voiced optimism about striking a "sooner rather than later."
At the White House, Obama urged supporters to press Congress for a deal, and said he hoped to strike one before Christmas.
"Our ultimate goal is an agreement that gets our long-term deficit under control in a way that is fair and balanced," Obama said. "I believe that both parties can agree on a framework that does that in the coming weeks. In fact, my hope is to get this done before Christmas."
With just a month left before the Bush tax cuts expire and automatic spending cuts begin to take hold, markets were anxious about predictions that falling off the "fiscal cliff" could trigger another recession.
Wall Street sharply pared losses in late morning trading following Boehner's optimistic comments on a fiscal cliff agreement. After falling nearly 1 percent on the back of weak housing data, the S&P 500 bounced back to trade near flat.
Markets are expected to continue to be highly sensitive to fiscal cliff headlines, while analysts say a lack of compromise in Washington by mid-December could trigger a selloff.
Glimmers of hope for a deal have surfaced since Obama won a second term in the Nov. 6 election, with some Republicans showing a willingness to consider revenue increases, and some Democrats easing their opposition to new savings in the costly government-run Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs.
Obama has launched a campaign-style public relations push for his effort to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and he planned to meet with executives from large companies later on Wednesday.
Many Democrats and Republicans have speculated on the possibility of a compromise that would raise income taxes on the rich, but not at the level Obama wants.
While Obama has called for letting the rates rise for those families with net incomes above $250,000, some Republican aides have said a final agreement could be a compromise with a higher threshold of say $500,000 or $1 million.
Alternatively, negotiators could look at raising the current 35 percent top rate to a higher rate but not as high as the 39.6 percent Obama wants. Obama said earlier this month at a news conference that he was "open to new ideas" on the rates.
Obama's proposal would raise about $80 billion in new revenues a year, which would go a long way toward replacing the $109 billion in harsh, across-the-board domestic spending cuts that are set to begin in 2013 unless Congress acts.
Erskine Bowles, who co-chaired the White House's 2010 deficit-reduction panel and is now working with chief executives and others to try to broker a deal, met with Republican leaders at the Capitol and said afterward that progress was being made.
"I think we will see give in all areas, if we're going to get a done. If not, we're going to go over this cliff and I think everybody realizes that would be disaster," he told reporters.
"Look, I'm not more optimistic or less optimistic. I'm hopeful, but I wouldn't put me anywhere near the optimistic category," he said. "We've got a long way to go and very few days to get it done."

Plantation HotelsPlantation's motto says that 'the grass is greener' here and - as you lie back to stare into the depths of the indigo blue sky - it's hard to disagree. With huge grassy parks, flowery walking trails, and the golden sands of some of Florida's best beaches close to your hotel, there are few better places to slow the pace and relax. A gorgeous year-round climate completes the package, meaning you can be topping up your tan on Miami Beach while other parts of the country are shivering under 6 feet of snow. Things to seeIt's all about kicking back and enjoying the easy life in Plantation – so starting the day with a leisurely round at Plantation Preserve Golf Course is par for the course. You'll know each hole like the back of your hand thanks to the GPS equipped trolleys provided, but you'll be wishing your ball had its own navigation system while attempting to guide it onto the 9th hole's tricky island-green. The golf course's wetlands are home to plenty of animals, but for a really wild experience, nothing can touch staring into the sinister eye of a camouflaged alligator, as you explore the Everglades. You'll be joined by playful dolphins skimming through the water, and long-necked herons fishing for food, as you're propelled along swampy waterways by the whirring fan of an airboat. For more floating fun, hail down a water taxi along the Intercoastal Waterway, which connects the canals of neighboring Fort Lauderdale – The Venice of North America – with the beaches of Miami and beyond. You won't feel seasick on the glass-smooth water, but the sight of some of America's most extravagant mansions, and gleaming yachts, may leave you a little green with jealousy.Hotels in PlantationYou don't need to leave your hotel to have a great time in Plantation. Simply slather on some sunscreen, grab a book, and set up camp around your hotel's outdoor patio and chilled pool. While you'll want to spend as much time as you can in the sun, rooms in the city are well equipped with WiFi, cable television and air conditioning - should you ever need to cool off. Choose from various Plantation hotels that can suit your needs – whether you'd prefer a bedroom with separate indoor seating area, or a hotel where world-class seafood cuisine sizzles downstairs. Breakfast is always a treat in the city's hotels, and a cool glass of freshly squeezed Florida orange juice is the ideal way to start any day. Where to stayWith palm trees, leafy residential areas, and green spaces all around, you can really unwind in Plantation. Craving a little more action? Don't worry - Las Olas Beach and the Everglades are just minutes away. Get a flavor for the city by visiting during the Wine, Jazz and Taste of Plantation Festival, during which the streets come alive with the sounds of popping corks, walking bass lines and sizzling seafood. West Fort Lauderdale can offer even more hotel choice, and is packed with restaurants. Settle down to crack the claws of stone crabs, or try Florida specialties like breaded alligator tail. How to get to PlantationThe simplest way to reach this part of Florida is to book a flight to the large Miami International Airport, which is about 40 minutes' drive away. If you want to beat the queues, however, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is closer, and more convenient, for Plantation. Nervous flyers can catch an Amtrak train to Fort Lauderdale Station from various East Coast cities, while the Plantation Tram – which is actually an air-conditioned bus service – will help you to hop around the city.
