Retail Imports Set for March Rise
WASHINGTON-Import volume at the nation's major retail container ports should increase by 12.4 percent this month, according to the most recent Global Port Tracker report from the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.
The double-digit increase is expected because U.S. retailers are ready to stock up for spring and summer, an NRF statement on the report said. "Retailers are bounding back from the annual post-holiday slowdown and getting ready for the surge in activity that comes each year as the weather warms up," said Jonathan Gold, NRF's vice president for supply chain and customs policy.
In January, the most recent month with available data, U.S. container ports boosted their import volume by 5.3 percent from December and 4.1 percent from January 2013. The Global Tracker Report projected that February--historically the slowest month in the year in import volume--would see an 8.8 percent drop in volume from February of last year.
Following March's increase, April is expected to bring a 5.1 percent year-over-year gain, followed by a 3.7 percent increase in May. June should see import volume up 5.3 percent, and July is expected to see a volume pickup of 3.5 percent from last year's July.
Gold also noted that cargo handling at the ports has been slowed by the severe winter weather and shortages in labor and equipment. "Congestion has been a problem for many ports during this slowdown, so operations will need to improve to handle the expected surge in the coming months," he said.
NRF has already forecast a 4.1 percent gain in retail sales in 2014, but has cautioned that this still depends on how government policies affect the economy and consumer confidence. "Somehow, the average consumer needs to be given the economic confidence to go out and spend," said Ben Hackett, founder of Hackett Associates. "Without that, the economy will remain weak, and no amount of tinkering by the Federal Reserve will have much of an impact."

The Black Ships
This wasn't a bad story - it did have a few loose ends that were never finalised though.
Things like the terrorist group that went nowhere, tails on the aliens that weren't explained.
There seemed to be a thing about mass deaths and destruction.
Overall, I found it to be a reasonable read, if you don't get too serious about things.

Saw The Strangest Thing....
I just went outside a minute ago---about 12:20 AM---to check on some noises I'd heard.
I didn't see anybody/anything but waited a couple minutes to be sure.
Something seemed odd.
Dawned on me an almost-full moon was hanging by its' beams on the edges of leftover storm clouds!
It's been about a week or more since we've seen the sun OR the moon.
What a welcome sight!
It seemed to glow with happiness to see the earth once again.
We smiled 'Goodnight' to each other and I came in to tell you guys!
How nice to see such a friendly sight just before bed.
I can identify with the joy of seeing anything in the sky after days and days of rain, fog or clouds. One time I saw both the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time, one was setting the other was getting up. Beautiful.
I'm not surprised that you heard noises, I bet there are a lot of critters (other than us), looking for the light of the moon.

It is nice, but tricky to assemble....
Alan from Camarillo, CA– Verified Buyer
Arrives in a big box, it's heavy. If you can have them bring it inside, do so. I just happened to come home for lunch and FedEx arrived while I was there and I had them put it in the garage and just unpacked it and brought the pieces inside from there.
Best cat tree I have ever seen
Elva from Mabank, TX
This is by far the best cat tree I have ever seen. Our kitties could hardly wait for us to get it put together. It has many cubbies, perches, beds, scratch posts and hammocks to keep them entertained. We wanted a tree that would last for years and that would be big enough to keep our 4 cats busy. It seems well made with quality wood, sisal rope and carpet. The carpet seems to be well put onto the wood pieces. (I purchased a cat tree from a retail department store. Less than a year later the carpet was coming off. It was not well put together with cardboard tubes, etc.) This tree is made of wood and most pieces are covered on both sides. There is no wood visible. The colors are bright and go well with our decor. We ordered the brown and green tree. The green color is more of a soft moss color. Very nice with chocolate brown. It comes with a wide variety of sisal and carpet covered tubes, flat wood pieces covered in carpet of various sizes and a multitude of screws with two allen wrenches.

Marjorie from Lowellville, OH– Verified Buyer
My first attraction to this tower, other than eye appeal, was the large stable base, too many others could easily tip over. I have 4 cats ranging from 8 to 18 lbs and they love it. They were trying to get on it before it was finished. My oldest cat is not the climber he used to be and the bottom house is perfect for him. The directions were not as tricky as I thought given some of the reviews but could use some improvement. Lay out your posts in order of length (use a measuring tape as they are metric) and pay attention to the pre-cut holes for the hammocks. The trick to those is to get the vertical posts all the way tight, loosen just enough to line up the hammock screw and turn the post back to position and they pop right in. The greenery is a very nice touch, I put them on last, and tightened the end of them right in the tops of the 2 tall front posts and the tall left bed and wrapped them down to the base. It was about 2 hours of assembly, but I know this will last for years! Highly recommend!
A beautiful, high quality cat tree
Pat from Houston, Tx
I spent a lot of time on line checking out cat trees. We have another cat tree (made by another company) that is about the same size as this one which is also very nice. Since I was happy with that one I was leary about getting this one because I didn't know anything about the company. We went ahead and ordered it. When it came I was very happy with the beautiful colors, just like in the picture. I put the "houses" together myself the evening we received it. The next morning I assembled it all by around noon. I will say there were no written directions that came with it...only a small piece of paper saying "Please start from the bottom and work your way up." It also came with a diagram (no words) of what to do. It had letters for the bolts and posts, but none of them were marked. It also had numbers for the posts on the diagram, but none of them were marked, either. I am so glad I cut out the picture of the cat tree from the box it came in and I used that for reference for the different colors etc. There are 9 different sizzle posts sizes and since none were marked, I laid them down in a row in the order of their sizes. Anyway, I finally got it together and if I can do it (I'm 60) anyone should be able to. It's lovely and I am extremely happy with it.
nice cat post
Dawn from CA– Verified Buyer
The post ordered was the green/brown version and arrived on time and in good shape, although the box was open on one end and the base of the post was exposed. The post is heavy and fairly sturdy even for a large (18lb) cat. Some of the perches are a bit small, and I would have preferred carpet over faux-fur, but the cats love just about everything on this post. Instructions need improvement; even for the mechanically inclined it still took a couple of hours to assemble w/ only the visual to go by for the assembly. The foliage is an interesting touch and there is no way to securely attach it, so it was left off. The cats certainly don't mind at all and especially appreciate more than one place to rest. Some prefer the heights, while a couple really like the bottom house (hanging out atop and w/in the interior). The beds are on the small side; even the 9 lb cat won't use the lower bed as it's too small. The pros- Sturdy, well built, multiple levels to suit the needs of different personalities and needs, and pleasing color (green/brown). The cons- instructions need improvement and the beds and mid-level perches (near the hammocks) could be larger.
Cats think it's the cat's pajamas
Cheri from Indianapolis– Verified Buyer
My cats absolutely love this tree. There's rarely a moment that there's not a cat on it. I woke up in the middle of the night the first night it was up and noticed the 2 who pin my feet at night were missing. I found them on the tree.

Kitty Mansion
Blaire from Waterloo, IA– Verified Buyer
This kitty mansion is very sturdy and most importantly the cats love it! They run up and down the thing, lay on the different seats and hide in the houses. It took 2 hours for us to put the thing together. The instruction included one piece of paper with one diagram. There are no written instructions, so you have to plan ahead and think out how to put it together beforehand. The only tricky part was getting the pieces that hold the hammocks in. We didn't put the leaves on the tree because the cats chewed them up before we even got the tree together. Overrall, this is the sturdiest cat tree we've come across though and the kitties are getting a lot of use from it.
Kitty Mansions Amazon Cat Tree
Biff from Santa Clarita, CA– Verified Buyer
I purchased a returned item for approximately half the cost of Wayfairs normal list price. Product arrived via FedEx in two days, and was in new unused condition with no missing parts. It appearantly had never been taken out of the box before being returned for unknown reasons. The instructions are very poor, consisting of a single black and white line drawing with no part numbers. Use the color picture on the side of the box to assist in determining where to place the panels. Assembly time was three hours. My cats like to be up high, so I placed the bed that is shown on the middle right side on top of the upper house on the back right hand corner instead. The configuration can be changed as desired. This tree looks very nice and is sturdy, but is large and fairly heavy at 90 lbs so keep that in mind when deciding what to buy.

Bruce points finger at referee
Liverpool 3 Wigan Athletic 2
Monday 20 October 2008
As Steve Bruce was saying, like countless broken-hearted football men before him, there is defeat, travesty and something that makes the Italian Job resemble a casual piece of shoplifting. In the harsh circumstances of his team's late loss, after shaping the game just about utterly for more than an hour, it was probably inevitable that the Wigan manager exposed himself to the wrath of the Football Association disciplinary committee, for whom criticising a referee has long been roughly on a par with high treason.
Bruce plainly made an effort to measure his words but when you skimmed off the niceties you were still left with a devastating indictment of the referee.
Bruce said, "I've known Alan Wiley from my Birmingham days. I invited him to the club to go over the rules. I've got the highest regard for him but he got it wrong today – totally and utterly wrong. He has cost us the game. That's my opinion and I think everybody in the ground will understand it went in Liverpool's favour. There is no way on Earth we would have been beaten if we had had 11 men on the pitch with 10 minutes remaining.
"I can't say what I want to say because it would be a field day for you and I'm not going to get myself fined by the FA. I just thought all the little decisions in the second half went Liverpool's way. It's difficult enough coming to Anfield but you need a little bit of fairness and strength."
The second yellow card that removed the hugely influential Antonio Valencia for a rash tackle on Xabi Alonso was not what enraged Bruce. His anger was fuelled almost entirely by the first one which, television evidence confirms, was administered in stark error. Valencia was booked for rushing the free-kick over which Alonso had lingered but the Wigan player plainly moved forward only when the Spaniard touched the ball. With the one-man advantage, Liverpool's chances of equalising and then pushing for the three points made so vital to their momentum by the authority of a weakened Chelsea's victory at Middlesbrough earlier in the day, were of course hugely enhanced, especially with growing evidence, conceded by Bruce, that his inter-continental World Cup players were running perilously close to empty. There were some shrewd substitutions by Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez. He discarded full-backs Andrea Dossena and Alvaro Arbeloa as Wigan fell deep and inserted the hard-running Nabil El Zhar and Yossi Benayoun.
Coupled with Valencia's exit, the effect was devastating for a Wigan team who had brilliantly controlled the first half and for whom the latest two goals from another inspired acquisition, the on-loan Egyptian Amr Zaki, certainly did not overstate either their confidence or their easy control of every area of the pitch.
Benitez conceded that he looks forward to a time when his team put him through a little less stress, but if Liverpool's performance was poor – and no kind of support to the idea that this is indeed the year when they challenge significantly the elite of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal – it did contain a commitment and an energy which was little less than phenomenal.
The Anfield manager may not have shaped a team of smoothly marshalled composure on the ball, but there is no doubt that they will never run short of motivation. Dirk Kuyt remains the embodiment of such ambition to get the most out of what talent he has been given. While his partner Robbie Keane again seemed hugely overpriced at £18m, Kuyt once more dredged his soul in the effort to help his team.
In the absence of the injured Fernando Torres, the Dutchman also carried, for once, a genuine cutting edge as his goals, and one from Albert Riera delivered victory. Bruce agreed that his team would probably have had a sharply different look if Emile Heskey had returned from his heroic service for England in Minsk without injury but it was still hard to imagine a better realised performance. Wigan's only reward was the applause that must inevitably accompany any indication that lower echelon Premier League clubs are not necessarily obliged to equate Doomsday football with their best chance of avoiding relegation. Bruce fears the arrival of big-club "vultures" as such cut-price performers as Valencia, Wilson Palacios, Daniel de Ridder and, most spectacularly here, Zaki showed what can happen when ambition to achieve the football good life is married to exceptional talent.
"I can honestly say this is the best team I've ever had," said Bruce, "but I've got about six players – Valencia, Palacios, Heskey, [Chris] Kirkland, [Mario] Melchiot, De Ridder – who are bound to be looked at by bigger clubs. It's just something you have to put up with. What we're trying to do is really play with good quality players because if you can't play in the Premiership, in the end you are goosed."
For much of this match that fate seemed to belong to Liverpool. Their problem was that they couldn't begin to match Wigan's willingness to get on the ball and show their ability to develop an authentic – and menacing – pattern of play.
That this splendid approach went unrewarded had something to do with the ferocity of Liverpool's will and, clearly, a training regime which might have been borrowed from a superior Commando course. But then there was also that other reason, one that leaped out of any fair-minded review of the most influential incident in a match of unexpected character. Bruce tried to be diplomatic, but it's not his greatest strength. Finding real players, and making them play, is an entirely different matter.

OP-ED: My! How the World Must See Us Now!
Here we are, mired in conflicts abroad we can neither stop nor
win….attempting to make a victory out of an Iraq mess that never
seemed to reach a real decision…and then diving into not only the
Libyan rebellion but victimized when that exercise got out of hand.
And those are only a few of our bipartisan global miscues.
Now it's revealed we've jumped into the rebel side once more in the
Syrian uprising by spending considerable millions to provide
allegedly(at least for now)"non military aid." The claim is we've so
vetted the recipients that we're certain none is of the Al Qaida
operations. (The background noise is snide laughter of those who've
seen all this before as we almost always ended up shipping real combat
stuff to the delight of arms manufacturers and others.)
And why not? After all, hasn't what passed for intelligent discussion
Amid all this comes the months of verbal confusion out of the halls
of supposedly national leadership, debate allegedly leading to some
kind of resolution to meet the threat something still more
confusinglycalled "sequestration." One bright young news commentator
quite accurately summed up the "sequestration" colloquy as "sandbox
of an economic crisis looked more like kids throwing sand and other
stuff back and forth to see who could do the most damage?
Considering that other nations and continents are struggling mightily
with their own politics, corruption and lousy economics, one might
think the world's mightiest power would literally gleam brightly
as a beacon of hope.
But how could that be now, what with the
political PR flacks helping to churn the propaganda mills about fiscal
cliffs, sequestrations suggesting virtual apocalypse and the Speaker
of the United States House of Representatives suggesting his
Senatorial counterparts have their posteriors immobilized.
tragicomedy, the men and women of our theoretically bipartisan
national leadership would have walked off with a statuette while still
arguing over who did the most to confuse all of us.
Consider as well we've omitted the tactical and often poorly aimed
use of drones, the welter of debate over whether horse meat is finding
its way into our food under other names…why Shakespeare could have
only been frustrated by an inability to write fast enough for the
comedy plot lines coming from every direction!
Several years ago, when I wrote A DEATH IN THE NATIONAL FAMILY:
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE. (link to most recent publication: http://www.huntingtonnews.net/6109) I could not have conceived how much further such
confidence or even public caring could sink. And, while it's some
kind of mangled humor simply to recite the realities , the closing act
of these dramas will hardly yield praise from a world once envious of
our overflowing opportunities.

(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Hardcover, 9780151011391, 384pp.)
Publication Date: December 2005
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
In the depths of his Cornish hideaway, retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder's solitary life is disturbed by a call from his estranged wife, telling him his seventeen-year-old daughter, Katherine, is running wild, unbalanced by the abduction and rape he feels he should have prevented. Meanwhile, in the heart of London, the takedown of a violent criminal goes badly, and Detective Sergeant Maddy Birch is uneasy about the reasons why, an uneasiness that is compounded when she starts to believe she is being stalked.
Maddy and Frank have a connection, a brief and clumsy encounter years before that has left a trace of lingering regret. In Ash & Bone their lives connect again when a second phone call persuades the unsettled, unhappy Elder out of retirement, only to find that a cold case has a devastating present-day impact.
JOHN HARVEY is the author of ten previous Charlie Resnick novels and the Frank Elder series, and a recipient of the Silver Dagger Award, the Barry Award, and the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award for lifetime achievement, among other honors. He lives in London.
"Harvey writes better crime novels than anyone in the world."--The Denver Post
"If Harvey's novels were songs, Charlie Parker would play them."--The New York Times Book Review
"Harvey's detectives . . . are the real deal—strong men who are sensitive enough to empathize with other people."
"Harvey imbues [his characters] with such richly rendered emotion . . . that the whole genre seems brand new."
"Simple? Sure. The way Picasso''s doodles are simple . . . Distinguished by seriousness, sophistication and stylistic elegance."
"Harvey is such a good writer, too, that his style and his exquisite sense for detail carry the story."

'The Last of Us' Movie Confirmed
The game's creative director Neil Druckmann will write the adaptation, which will be produced by Sam Raimi's Ghost House.
The game's creative director Neil Druckmann will write the adaptation, which will be produced by Sam Raimi's Ghost House.
Despite earlier comments to the contrary, Bruce Campbell now says 'there's no reality whatsoever' to Army of Darkness 2.
Appearing over the weekend at Wizard World Nashville, erstwhile Ash Williams says "the answer is yes" to starring in another Army of Darkness movie.
Fox 2000 and MGM are reportedly in early talks with Sam Rockwell to star as the patriarch in Gil Kenan's remake of Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist, which already stars Rosemarie DeWitt.
MGM and Fox 2000 announce that Gil Kenan's remake of Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist penned by Oz the Great and Powerful's David Lindsay-Abaire will start shooting this fall.
Rumors have begun to circulate that Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 4 is actually a direct sequel to Army of Darkness, the third movie in the original Evil Dead franchise.
Disney's Oz the Great and Powerful is fun, and it definitely feels like a Sam Raimi movie, but it's held back by a desire to emphasize — or, rather, over-emphasize — its 3D elements.
MGM and producer Sam Raimi have selected Monster House director Gil Kenan to helm their remake of the 1982 horror classic Poltergeist.
Director Sam Raimi reveals he was unhappy with Spider-Man 3 and hoped to end his series "on a very high note," but he just couldn't get a script together for a fourth movie.
A new trailer for "Oz: The Great and Powerful" aired during Super Bowl XLVII, showcasing a volley of action sequences and new shots of James Franco's character, Oscar Diggs in the fantastical world.
Jane Levy, star of ABC's Suburgatory, discusses following in Bruce Campbell's bloody footsteps in the Fede Alvarez remake of the 1981 horror classic Evil Dead.
The new poster for Evil Dead claims that Fede Alvarez's upcoming remake of the Sam Raimi classic is "the most terrifying film you will ever experience."

Just bought my first Streptocarpus . . .
and I'm wondering where I can find info on their growth habits, etc.
Do they grow like AV's?
Should they be kept to one "crown", or do they even really have a crown?
I read somewhere that each leaf can produce a bloom stalk; is that why there seem to be a couple of new stalks coming up at the edges of the plant, instead of in the center with the others?
Why does that one outside leaf droop like it needs water when all the others stand up so proudly?
I've got lots more questions, but I thought I'd try to find a place to read about these before I peppered y'all with the rest. :o) I'm afraid I'm smitten . . . I've only had this plant for a few days, and I've already joined the AGGS! lol
Thanks so much, and grow on,
Andalee, (what a pretty name!)
There is not much written about streps. I'll try to help you out.
Growing in the window light is fine. Keep out of bright direct sun. Growing under florescent lights is fine, too.
Make sure your soil is not too heavy since this would keep water in the plant too long. Good African violet soil with lots of perlite added would help. You need really good drainage. Streps hate to be constantly too wet. They can go quite dry if there is good humidity.
Treat generally just like an African violet. One-quarter to one-eighth teaspoon fertilizer in a gallon Warm water and fertilize often. Less often in winter unless you have a winter flowering variety. You can even spray this fertilizer onto the plant. (Keep out of sun when leaves have been sprayed).
Streps leaves naturally turn brown at a given moment. Just cut away. Each leaf can produce one or more peduncles (bloomstalks)and each bloomstalk can produce one to twelve flowers depending upon the variety you have. Usual is one to two flowers to peduncle.
You can reproduce your strep by taking a young healthy leaf, splitting it into two by cutting out the midrib which is discarded. Take the two halves and place them into trenches in the soil. Cover them with a dome or plastic bag and leave them that way until you transplant your babies.
You might enjoy looking at pictures of other streps on rob's violet barn. I think that is just www.rob'svioletbarn He also gives strep advice.

The drooping leaf is not a sign it needs water. Just a natural occurance.
You don't need to divide until about the third year.
Nancy in Montreal
Nancy, thanks for the info. A dear friend who is trying to get "into" houseplants, but not the easy-care ones that are good for newbies, has decided to grow streps. Last week she got 3 at a lawn and garden show and accidently broke a leaf. I ended up with the leaf the next day, totally limp and drying. I wrapped it in a damp paper towel and brought it home, then slit through the midvein. I didn't have any unused potting soil so I placed the sections atop some damp sphagnum in an empty Q-tip tray, laid the p'towel on top and set it on top of the water heater. Friday morning I found one little root about 1/8" long! Five days! Wow! that was fast!
Thanks for the info re heat stress, too. I have told my friend that if her streps are starting to die, I get them. You should see the oncidium orchid that I rescued from her compost pile last year. It is filling a 6" pot beautifully!! She said it was dead -- HA! (She used to grow & show orchids, and that rescue was completely brown and totally dried and shriveled).
Hi Andalee,
Although, I have been told that the success rate of starting strep leaves is not 100%, I had no problem propagating the two streps of mine using the above method. Good luck. It is really fun to watch the little plantlets grow off of the main leaf.
I just got my first strep a couple of days ago,too. Well, technically it's my second and I killed my first within a week. I think this time will be better. Yours is much bigger and full of flowers while mine has just one stalk coming up. Yours is gorgeous! After a couple episcias, a strep, and a chirita, I'm about to join a local AGGS chapter too!
I was just looking around for strep care. Most care info I see says it has the same general requirements as african violets, but then i go and read that people are growing their streps under lights to get them to flower. my african violets flower all the time in a north-facing window, so it sounds like streps need more light to flower. Is that right?
Your Streptocarpus Hybrid's common name is Cape Violetta.
I have been looking for these.They come in lots of different colours.
The ones that I have seen,have different flowers to your one. They had the same "nodding" flowers as a Streptocarpus Caulescens (nodding violet)
Streps grow very will in window light and should flower there as well. Maybe a brighter window would help, though. It depends where you are. I'm in Montreal, Canada and can grow in the Western exposure. In Arizona or Florida that would cook the plant.
Provide the brightest light without direct sun.
Nancy in Montreal
Returning to the topic of leaf cuttings, how long does it usually take for them to root and shoot? I took some on Sept 25th and there is no sign of growth.
I have not put them in a plastic bag becasue I tried some before and they rotted.
Any advice welcome.
Here is a link to a site about Streptocarpus, it is still under construction but one of the best sites I have seen.
Good luck with it.
Oregon where the 2005 AGGS convention will be.
I had a strep that was dying recently. Its growth had wilted even though it was wet. This is a sure sign that the roots have rotted. Often the rot travels slowly up into the stem, which is actually the base of the petiole. Anyway, I soaked the limp leaves in a bowl of water overnight and they became turgid again. Then I cut them into pieces and put them in a mix of perlite and vermiculite, enclosed the pot in a ziplock bag and put it on my lightstand. That was about six weeks ago. Then I forgot all about them until a few days ago when I was going through all the ziplock bags on the lightstand. I found that several of the leaves had rotted, which I promptly removed. But, one leaf was sending up a couple of new plantlets. So, I put it back in the bag to grow a bit larger. It is important to remove rotted leaves but I left them a bit long. Still I was able to save this plant. Its true for me that enclosing often increases the chances of rotting but I have no luck rooting strep leaves in the open. One of our chapter members has come up with a new method for rooting leaves which sounds promising. He puts leaves in a container with a shallow bit of water and roots them that way. He says that in summer it takes about 3 weeks more or less. Then, after they have roots he pots them up, and they usually take. I'm sure there are many other ways to get leaves to root without rotting. We all need to try more experiments.
Hi Jon, I experiment with leaves all the time as when I first got some variegated leaves I thought they had misspelled root and meant rot. I had always had success rooting leaves until then. Talk about a comeuppance.
This summer I set a leaf in water to rehydrated it so I could pot it. Well... then I lost the tag and couldn't remember who it was, so decided to try the water rooting method with it. I let it get well rooted and then potted it up. within a week it was rotted. I guess that method didn't work for me or I need to research it further. I have found that if I leave the midrib in and cut horizontally that I have more success than removing the midrib. I use this method with the plants that are really gotta haves. Also if you plant it like an AV leaf you get less babies but it is almost a surefire way of success.
Maggie, I generally make "wedge cuttings" too. At least that is what I call it when I cut the leaf crosswise into pieces with the midrib in the center. I make the cuttings about three or four inches long. Or, I use the whole leaf if it is on the small side. I never had luck removing the midrib and making two leaf half cuts though I know some growers who produce lots of props this way. Thinking back to the days of the clear sweater boxes, I remember when I used these for proping. They were about 9" by 16" (if memory serves) and about four inches high with a clear lid. I would put about an inch of moist perlite vermiculite on the bottom, and then insert the wedge cuttings into it, try to label the various varieties so that I would know what's what later one, and put the box under lights. This method proved 100% successful the times I used it. But, now I use individual approx. 3" pots inside ziplocks. I think the incidence of rotting was less in the sweater boxes because they enclose a larger volume of air and the media is one large unit rather than the smaller amount that would be in individual pots. I still have some sweater boxes around here, I think I will try this method again and see if it still works well.
Here's a nifty propagating tip I learned on Gesneriphiles some years ago and recently found to work for rosulate chiritas. When I came back from convention I had some broken leaves on some new purchases so I put them down. On one I cut the leaves in two, with a bottom half with the petiole and the top half. On the bottom half I cut off most or all of the petiole. Anyway, as I had learned, the top half has now produced plantlets while the bottom half is still bare of babies. Chiritas are very easy to root from leaves, or as I have learned, from sections of leaves.
I have grown and shown AV, and they were always Wicked,
can these be wicked, Everthing says they like to be dry,
but Steptocarpus always seen to dry out and droop, beause
they are to dry. Any help or suggestions would be of great help and appreciate. Thanks, Nan LaRUe
Here are a couple of sites where there is information about Streps. There are also forums on these sites where many knowledgeable growers are eager to help beginners. Dale Martens is a member of both and is a well known hybridizer.
www.streptocapus- info.com
www.strepbystrep-subscribe@yahoo groups.com
There is another Strep group on yahoo as well. I cannot recall the name of it but I am sure if you google it you would find them.

Just reset your search engine to defaults (Search Bar>Manage Search Engine). if that doesn't work restart Firefox in safemode, that'll disable any addons/extensions causing the redirect. You should then remove the culprit.

Go into about:config

Hopefully this might work.
can't find any entries, related to this address
You'll have to hunt through the about:config page, there's 2 or 3 settings in there you'll have to reset, they'll have part of that url in them.

Question on Babysitting rates...
I'm a 21 year old from Indiana, and I have been asked to babysit my bosses children...(a 3 month old and a 1 1/2 year old) It would only be 2 days a week from 10am-5pmish. I'm really not sure how much to charge them...I'm really happy to do it but I still want to make it worth my time! Please email me if you have any ideas...thanks so much!
I don't know what you do for this person that makes him/her your boss, but I would suggest you not accept this babysitting job. It changes your relationship with this person and it can lead to all sorts of problems for you (not your boss, that's the perk of being a boss!)
A job creates a professional relationship, babysitting is much more personal. It will cause problems for you at your "other" job with this person, and can make your life very, very complicated. If you insist on going ahead, then you should expect to be paid at least what they already pay you.
They can certainly find someone else to babysit. Good luck and be careful.
That's not babysitting....that's being a nanny.
I certainly can understand your boss wanting someone he/she knows to look after his/her children and think it is great of you to be willing to do this. I see no problems.
As for what to charge? I am in a small midwest town and pay my cleaning lady $15 an hour...
Surely you should have as much...unless there will be a long period of naps in the day.
I would say you should get between $150 and $200 a week.
Linda C
I just babysitted last night and received less than I would've liked and I'm just wondering if $8 an hr is fair. There are three kids ages 7 months, 2, and 3. I basically just had to feed the kids, entertain them, and put them to bed. But since there is 3 and a baby it is difficult to juggle all of them. I'm a college student in San Antonio, Tx and the cost of living isn't as high as where I am from so I don't know if I should even mention the pay to the family.

Europe is the world leader for offshore wind power, so many of the jobs in offshore wind that we work on are in this region, but we have a truly global reach and work across the world in many locations and with international companies.
The development of Wind Farm projects has traditionally been the preserve of smaller Project Developers who, after a period of time, often sell their projects to larger more liquid energy companies, who are looking to increase their involvement in renewables. We also work with outsource providers and consultancies who support the sector, such as corporate financiers and environmental consultants. In the wind sector "offshore" refers not only to farms at sea but also in large bodies of water inland, such as lakes. Therefore offshore wind jobs can be based in a variety of locations.
Our teams are split up into specialisms and we have consultants providing bespoke recruitment services in the wind sector. They have industry knowledge and experience which means they understand your work and our clients' requirements and are experts within recruitment for wind energy jobs. We have a wide variety of vacancies in many locations and our consultants are happy to discuss your career with you.
With experience of filling wind power jobs in 30 countries, and a candidate network of over 13,000 wind based consultants, we are ideally placed to offer you one of the most specialist and tailored recruitment solutions in the market.
