staff was friendly and helpful.
hot items in the free breakfast pretty much sucked
Great complimentary breakfast. Bed was comfortable.
Flatscreen TV had a terrible remote/guide system from circa 1990. At breakfast, msnbc was on the TV and staff refused to change it to Fox News. Not every guest is a raving liberal !!
The staff were very nice, and good location. Right on main at.
The hotel was run down and needed some serious updating. The common areas were not very clean, especially the outside and lobby. The room was dusty and the carpet could have used a good cleaning. Not that big a deal. Was really quiet for Main St. The staff were really sweet. I've stayed at worst! Michelle
Bathroom smelled like a wet dog, shower curtain was dirty, ugly decor. Good if you're staying one night and don't plan to be there very much.
great location and parking
Guests in the hallways were awfully loud (not the hotel's fault), though I couldn't help but think the doors were too thin. Everything else about the place was great.
Decent location, good value for the money. Rooms reasonably plain, but clean. Included breakfast adequate, staff was quite helpful. Hot Tub was also clean, and appeared to be well-kept. Bar appeared to be a nice little place, although didn't get to use it this trip.
Out of control kids!! Probably my mistake, as the Saturday night which we checked in was the last day of Mass Feb. vacation. I guess that I didn't realize how noisy it could be; additionally, being put in a room which was in the access hall to the pool made it almost unbearable. One would have thought that the staff would have put us in an out-of-the-way room. To be fair, the staff did post people in the hall in order to keep the ruckus down to a dull roar, and Sunday night was indeed much quieter, but I can't recommend this place to anyone who wants to be assured of a quiet stay. I don't think that I'll risk another night's sleep by staying here again on my next trip to the Cape.
Very clean and comfortable with a friendly staff. Got a great night's sleep. Off street location. No traffic noise
Coffee pot in room but no cups, coffee or tea to go with it. For the price I was expecting a bit more than I got.
I loved the pool. At this time of the year, I had it to myself quite a bit. I like that there are adult only times.
Hard to get luggage from car to room unless on the parking lot side.
I was here for a funeral and i was pleasantly surprised by value, staff, cleanliness, everything really, i would highly recommend it
Very good location. Seems to have a lot if activities available
The pool was very crowded and some rowdy guests and the staff didn't seem to control this at all. Made it difficult to enjoy the pool.
Wish we were told it was a handicapped room
Good location and clean. Nothing special but its just what you need. Beds and linens were clean, bathroom was spotless. Needs a facelift because its outdated but a good value overall.
The bedbugs
Everything. Their website is highly misleading. The room was nasty and service was terrible. I was at a conference all weekend and was exhausted from virtually working all day and dreaded having to go back to that hotel.
I love the location and have stayed many times because I thinks its the best location in Hyannis.
As per usual, although it is amongst the most expensive places to stay in Hyannis, the bar staff treats you like they are doing you a favor by serving you. Extremely unfriendly and un-welcoming. We left during the day to find a place we would be treated better. Its unfortunate, if the staffs treatment and attitude towards customers matched the excellent location it would be the best place in town.
Location and ocean view room.
Service in restaurant for breakfast was extremely slow.
Love the staff from time we waled til the time we left. They made us feel like family.
Not a Thing
Easy to find, good location if you are catching a ferry
Terrible bed, worse breakfast
The management was helpful
In room there was no stopper in the sink. The shower curtain fell down. The room was infested with bugs. ( this was cleaned up.)
Attention to details. Extremely clean and well organised

New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) revealed the results of the agency's latest customer satisfaction survey as part of "Scorecard," an initiative designed to provide the public with a clear measurement of how the organization is performing, while driving strategic decisions to improve the overall customer experience.
"By measuring ourselves in critical areas and seeking regular input from our customers, Scorecard is effectively transforming NJ Transit into a more transparent, accountable and results-driven organization," said Chairman and New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner James Simpson. "Through this ground-breaking initiative, NJ Transit continues to focus on providing an enhanced customer experience that keeps faith with the taxpayers of the Garden State."
The third quarter surveys were conducted online at njtransit.com and in the field between February 21 and March 12, a period in which customers experienced two major Northeast Corridor rail disruptions on March 5 and 6. The survey asked bus, rail, light rail and Access Link customers to rate NJ Transit on a scale of 0 to 10.
Customers also considered 41 attributes of the system related to facilities, service, vehicles, communications and the overall experience using NJ Transit. In addition, customers were asked to identify the most important aspects of NJ Transit service among the items they rated.
Regarding customer loyalty, nearly 75% of the customers surveyed said they would recommend NJ Transit to a friend, relative or neighbor (up from 66% from the previous quarter).
For the third quarter of FY12, customers rated their overall satisfaction with NJ Transit service as "acceptable" or "satisfactory," with a score of 5.8, an increase of 13.7% over last quarter's score of 5.1, making substantial progress toward the agency's FY 2012 goal of 6.0.
Current customer satisfaction ratings on NJ Transit's four service modes are as follows:
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

odd babies from gladiolus bulbs
this is from lavender gladalois I planted
last spring.
seems the babies have pushed the original
bulbs almost out of the ground.
small babies are white, larger ones orange/red
with hard covering.
I've never seen babies like this.
anyone have any comments?
when I planted them..they were abou 6" deep.
babies pushed the bulbs almost completely
out of the ground.
they were planted in spring of 2012.
strange isn't it?
in the same bed..but 4' away...I have
naturalized glads that I dug up from
the side of the road..they've reproduced
but no red/orange offspring. these glads
are a vivid fuscia.
I have my eye on some deep orange ones
@ a friend's house..but for different
flower bed.
thanks Rena'
Maybe something tunneled under it and pushed it up. Something has done that same thing to more than a few of my plants. In the summer I lost a few plants that had there roots exposed and the sun fried them. Not my glads though but especially my bearded iris.
Oh and your roadside find of magenta glads I would be willing to bet that you found the heirloom strain byzantinus communis 'Cruentus'. If the color is a neon electric color that you can see from afar then for sure it is. Google pics of it and see... A most valuable plant. I have my garden full of them. The color is amazing, not many plants have that color.
I love the fact that you can have blooms from glads from March to Nov. with all the different species. I bought several different seed strains from South Africa. Guess we will see how they like LA.
It's great to have friends that garden to swap plants with.
In fact I keep extra crinums in my vehicle in the summer and stop at strangers homes that garden and gift them one for their gardens. Great way to make new friends.
Happy New Year to you too!
google searching the name you listed
shows the exact flower. deep fuscia.
the roadside find of the naturalized glads
was great! hard not to notice them...the color
is so vivid....
I probably dug up 200 bulbs!
quite a find, as this site sells them
$12.per bulb
one of the ladies I shared the fuscia glads with,
has the bright orange glads I hope to get later this year.
as for something tunneling under the glads
pictured..I don't think so. just added compost
& mulch in this bed. no signs of tunneling.
I do have a couple of armadillos that dig
grubs in the yard.
but no moles, voles at all.
the armadillos stay on the grass digging for
grubs ...except in the big bed with
bridal wreath, witch hazel bushes & corkscrew
willow tree. verbina is the groundcover in
this bed.
what part of the state are you in?
I'm north of Lafayette.
moved here 18 years ago from N.O.
amazing what a difference it makes to move
from subtropical N.O. to here.
I have to bring the bouganvilla in for
winter here. In N.O. it stayed outside
year round.
I've finally found the right spot for the
staghorn fern inside for the winter.
and I see on my rescued orchid that it is
putting out the shoots that flower..3 so far
& probably 8 of the topical root. (can't remember
the names of these shoots)
both of these plants are new to me. always wanted
both, and a former client gave me the staghorn.
I'm trying to get it rooted onto a piece of wood.
the orchid was dying @ Lowe's. the first year
it bloomed. this is year two.
thanks for your input
and happy gardening.
I am in Trout zip 71371, 36 miles north of Alex. We moved away from N.O. 20 years ago.
The last time I was in New Orleans I went to the botanical garden there. Next trip in March I want to go again. I forgot my camera last trip. Ugh... I was so aggravated. Next trip you can bet the camera will be the first item in the vehicle.
And I am dying to go to the Audubon Zoo. But my husband hates the zoo and since it's not a small zoo and takes up tons of time I'm planning a trip with my Mom.
Yeah gardening north of N.O. is definitely different.
My plant collecting is all over the map depending on the month (or day...) lol but one of the things that stays consistent is my deep love for variegated plants. I wonder if there are any glads with variegated foliage? Hum... I will look that up in a minute.
I love the tall glads as well, they are beautiful but I hate having to stake every one of them. Usually I cut the blooming stem and bring it in and put them in vases all over the house.
Oh and another trip I am making no matter what this year is the Forest Hill Nursery Festival. Do you go? I leave all monies that is not delegated to plant buying home to avoid the temptation to over spend. Because justifying is so easy when everything is so cheap. :)
I usually get in quite a bit of trouble at forest hills
festival. I've learned to go in a pickup cause the suv can't hold all the plants.
haven't been to N.O. gardens in years. or the
zoo since I was a kid.
I usually hit the Herb Festival in Sunset,
the Daylilly Festival in Abbeville.
then have to find place to plant everything
I bought.
lots of floweres are for bringing in the house.
waiting now on the 400 daffodils bulbs to leaf
out. caught a 75% off sale on bulbs at Lowes.
daffodils, freesias, alliums & minature hycanths.
I worked in flower beds up to xmas eve.
now its just too wet!
Oh the Daylily Festival sounds wonderful! I've never been, last year I started collecting daylilies. It seems I can't just be a regular gardener going on a sensible buying spree I have to go all Jackie Chan and go nutso collecting every one I can find/afford buy books on it spend hours researching it... lol I need to practice balance with this gardening obsession. Whew, but that's a pipe dream if there ever was one... And 11 gardens later... with really no room left. But does that stop the buying? Oh nooo.... lol
Oh those clearance racks are impossible to pass by without at least finding one treasure to bring home. Oh do you go to Fads n Frames in the summer? Oh goodness I get in lots of trouble their too. Love their nursery.
What about the Alex. zoo do you go there? Besides the animals the gardens are so very pretty. I buy a yearly pass, I just love the zoo!
I got a 400 watt garage light for mothers day that I use in the summer to work in the beds when it's to hot to be out in the day.
I bought a few bulbs this year but I divided my daffs. this summer and have about that many daffs. to plant... Good for you, you at least got yours done mine are still crying in their box waiting to be planted out.
Maybe we can meet at the Nursery Hill Festival. I can bring you some of my crinums. They are very fragrant and rebloom all summer. I'd be happy to share if you want some. Woohoo, March is right around the corner! I better quit spending all my pennies on e-bay and get to saving!

BJ'S BLOG 06/03/13 "Justin Bieber, Keyshawn Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres"
by BJ Shea
posted Jun 3 2013 8:00AM
Today's blog is another guest blog from Dan Sanders:
What do Justin Bieber, Keyshawn Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres have in common, nothing? Except that I am going to talk about them.
If Keyshawn has his way Little Bieber may in up in traction. And Ellen DeGeneres may get lost in her 26 million dollar new mansion. This is not her first mansion, the last one she bought she sold for a profit. I can't help but wonder what the mark up is on 26 million. However, she will probably sell it to someone. I understand the little Bieber may soon be looking for a new neighbor.
Warren Buffett also will be included in this podcast. Warren Buffett 3rd richest man in the world also had a few things to say, as usual about Congress, millionaires, billionaires and the little people like Ellen Ungenerous. Now ungenerous may be unfair to say. It's not that she's ungenerous. It's just that she has a very strong fear of being homeless.
Little Bieber doesn't drive too fast; it's just that the speed limit is to slow.
And Keyshawn Johnson didn't chase little Bieber to give him a good lecture on manners and safety. He really just perhaps wanted to beat the crap out of him.
Bon Jovi has the cure for Bieber Fever: "Be an A-Hole who shows up 2-hours late."
I assume he means for the little Bieber show, and I think that would be great. Imagine little beaver Beiber going on stage and seeing only empty seats. I think I would be right in the front row with my back to him and applauding the audience that was not there.

No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems-- of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.
Many of the things the government does that may seem stupid are not stupid at all, from the standpoint of the elected officials or bureaucrats who do these things.
The current economic downturn that has cost millions of people their jobs began with successive administrations of both parties pushing banks and other lenders to make mortgage loans to people whose incomes, credit history and inability or unwillingness to make a substantial down payment on a house made them bad risks.
Was that stupid? Not at all. The money that was being put at risk was not the politicians' money, and in most cases was not even the government's money. Moreover, the jobs that are being lost by the millions are not the politicians' jobs-- and jobs in the government's bureaucracies are increasing.
No one pushed these reckless mortgage lending policies more than Congressman Barney Frank, who brushed aside warnings about risk, and said in 2003 that he wanted to "roll the dice" even more in the housing markets. But it would very rash to bet against Congressman Frank's getting re-elected in 2010.
After the cascade of economic disasters that began in the housing markets in 2006 and spread into the financial markets in Wall Street and even overseas, people in the private sector pulled back. Banks stopped making so many risky loans. Home buyers began buying homes they could afford, instead of going out on a limb with "creative"-- and risky-- financing schemes to buy homes that were beyond their means.
But politicians went directly in the opposite direction. In the name of "rescuing" the housing market, Congress passed laws enabling the Federal Housing Administration to insure more and bigger risky loans-- loans where there is less than a 4 percent down payment.
A recent news story told of three young men who chipped in a total of $33,000 to buy a home in San Francisco that cost nearly a million dollars. Why would a bank lend that kind of money to them on such a small down payment? Because the loan was insured by the Federal Housing Administration.
The bank wasn't taking any risk. If the three guys defaulted, the bank could always collect the money from the Federal Housing Administration. The only risk was to the taxpayers.

Thank you for sharing that.
I would like to hear you elaborate more on this.
I was reading on here that people want an issue to unite behind. I thought about that for a while, but I didn't really like the idea. How do you get everyone to unite behind an "issue?"
Then the more I thought about it, the more I thought about Love as the issue. How could anyone be against love? Even the Bible tells people to love their neighbors. And here you are quoting philosophers saying that philosophy is the wisdom of love. Who could be against love?
- - - -
Telepathic, I remember when I changed the tag line - from Peace Gold Liberty, to Peace Gold Love, that you argued pretty strenuously against it, and for "Liberty" instead of Love.
I'm not educated (much) in the depths of philosophy, but I knew that Love preceded Liberty. So I figured, let's just get to the root of the matter.

Miho is Himiko's friend in the Btooom! franchise. She and her friends were raped by Yoshioka, and after that incident, she wrote Himiko's
Himiko and Miho were best friends until that incident; after taking their first Btooom! cosplay photo, Miho teased Himiko about Ryota. She told her that she should send their photo to Ryota. At school, she and her friends read a letter that asked them if they wanted to nominate a person that they would like to disappear. Later on, Himiko informed Miho, Arisa, and Yuki that Yoshioka and his band invited them to hang out. Miho was estatic to meet Yoshioka. When Himiko left to buy some food and snacks, Miho and her friends drank beverages that were spiked with drugs. In the hallways, Himiko ran after fending off Yoshioka, and she saw Miho being raped behind the glass door. Miho begged Himiko to save her, but Himiko ran away to contact the police, leaving Miho stunned and disillusioned. After that horrendous incident, Miho told Himiko that she wrote Himiko's name in that letter and yell out that Himiko should disappear.
Miho is created by Junya Inoue as a minor character in the Btooom! franchise, and she has no information regarding any inspiration used to create her. She first appears in Btooom volume 5: chapter 32 and episode 2. She is voiced by Shiori Mikami.
Miho is shorter than Himiko; she has black eyes and black hair. Her hair style composes of a straight cut across the top of her forehead and bangs on the sides that reach pass her chins. For attire, she is seen wearing a uniform that sports a white shirt with a green tie that has a small yellow cross on it and a green skirt with a light green lines in a plaid pattern.
At first, she is a sweet, innocent girl, but after losing her innocence in a rape, she is angry at Himiko.

White growths on Pothos roots
I am rooting some Pothos cuttings in water. I want to plant them in soil when I've figured out the answer to this question (although I'm aware that you might try to talk me out of it! [wink]), but meanwhile, they're loving the water. This is the first time I have ever put plants (other than cut flowers) in water like this, so perhaps this is a dumb question from the vantage point of people on this forum.
Just when I thought I was ready to transfer them to soil, I took a close look at them and discovered little white bumps on some of the roots. I'm wondering if it's some kind of mold or fungus, or just a normal part of what the roots will do. I've included photos from the day I first noticed them - at the time, four cuttings were in one container - a former instant coffee jar - and two of those cuttings had the bumps. (One more cutting is in a plastic soda bottle, and it has no such bumps.) To the right is a photo of the whole jar and then one of the underwater area - in the middle of the second photo you can see one cluster of the bumps, and there is another cluster that is not so visible in the photo, top right at the beginning of the roots. Below is a super-closeup of the bumps themselves. After these photos were taken, I removed the cuttings from the jar, scraped off what I could of the stuff, washed out the jar, and separated the cuttings (three of the four went in other containers), but the two cuttings that had bumps before have developed a couple new ones again (it has been about 2-3 days). Any idea what this stuff is? Should I ignore it and plant the cuttings, try some sort of eradication, or throw the cuttings away?
Thanks for the reply, greystoke. I can't easily get specific products like that, as I live in Japan, but I'm familiar with hydrogen peroxide - I sterilize my contacts in it every night. I'd just use my contact solution for this if it didn't have salt in it (I doubt the cuttings would be happy with salt!). But I might be able to find some regular hydrogen peroxide at a drugstore.
I have the urge to ask, "Once I scrape off what I can and use hydrogen peroxide, how long should I wait before deciding that the roots are clean and can be planted?" But if you're not familiar with this particular growth, you probably don't know the answer...?
konichiwa osakawebbie,
Well, at least that link will tell you the desired concentrations to use. I've tried it myself with peroxide from a chemistry. It worked well, but some of the roots turned brown. I suggest to be careful with it.
Also - if this is a fungus - it could be persistent. Fungii make spores that are difficult to kill. Again, do be careful.
Kind regards
Yeah, I know about persistent pests - these cuttings are the survivors of a long battle against mealybugs in the mother plant. And even after throroughly washing the cuttings with soapy water and spraying them with alcohol, some of the cuttings still had bugs at first. I'm pretty sure these cuttings are bug-free now, but just when I decided it was safe to plant them, I found these growths on the roots. After over a month in water, the roots are getting very long and I am eager to move the cuttings to a pot so they can grow upward, but I want to make sure they are clean of pests first.
I had no trouble finding peroxide at the drugstore, and I used a very small dose, as indicated by the Oxyplus web page.
But I keep searching and searching on the Internet for any mention of an underwater fungus, or white bumps on water roots, or any number of attempts at search criteria, and have found nothing relevent. In the last two days I haven't seen any new bumps, so I'm wondering if whatever it was, isn't now...
I can't say for sure what those bumps are, but I'd say the odds are pretty good that whatever they are only really thrives when it's really wet or it wouldn't grow underwater at all.
If that's the case, it oughta die off or at least get under control by transferring the plants to soil.
From the sound of it the H2O2 may have cleared it up for you, so I'd recommend putting one cutting into dirt and seeing how it does (don't forget they'll generally wilt and sulk a bit whenever you move them from one medium to another).
That way, if there is a problem, only one plant suffers.
I'd say the odds are pretty good that whatever they are only really thrives when it's really wet or it wouldn't grow underwater at all. If that's the case, it oughta die off or at least get under control by transferring the plants to soil.
Good point!
I did the H2O2 once, and then decided (even before I read your post) to go ahead and plant them. Your advice of doing them one at a time is good, but I will be gone for a couple weeks starting next Thursday, so I want to get past the transition process before I leave. So I planted all of them, in two pots (one is a fairly large pot with posts in it for the Pothos to climb, so I planted several cuttings there). Based on advice I read somewhere else on Gardenweb forums, I put a plastic bag over the potted plants to keep the moisture in while they grow some soil roots. They've been planted for two days now, and they look okay so far, but of course it's really too early to tell...
Glad I could help, and I'm glad things seem to be going well.
For what it's worth, it's been my experience that if a new cutting isn't going to do well after transplanting it tends to look pretty sickly early on. So I'd guess you're in good shape.
I'd like it if you could give us an update in a little while to let us know if they make it.
Okay, here's the update you asked for. Yes, all my cuttings made it so far, in spite of my experimentation with various ways of planting them:
I have four of them in an 8" pot with sticks to attach them to (one expert says that's way too much soil, so I'm being very careful to let it dry out well between waterings, but it's happy). Two of these were the cuttings that had the weird white stuff on them underwater - no apparent problems in soil, but of course I can't see inside.
For a while I had one in pseudo-hydroponics pot just as an experiment, and it was doing fine, but I moved it to soil because it's more in line with what I'm used to doing. (sorry to all you hydroponics fans)
After being told that my first pot was too big, I planted the next batch of six cuttings (including the one I carefully removed from the hydroponics pot full of rocks) in two 2" pots sitting on a wood ledge inside a really big pot (empty) that has a great lattice for entwining and will hopefully be once again full (it's the original pot from the big beautiful plant that had to be reduced to cuttings due to an incurable case of mealybugs). They struggled at first but revived.
Four more are still in water, awaiting my next flurry of activity, in which I plan to put them in a four-inch pot (Goldilocks syndrome - the first pot was too big, the next pots were too small...).
After all that abuse, not one of the cuttings has actually died, and all of them are putting out new growth all the time. Pothos is rugged enough even for a "black thumb" like me!
Great to hear! And there's no need to apologize for not keeping a plant in hydroponics. I don't think I'd grow Pothos in hydroponics even if I had the room to, it's just too easy to grow it very nicely in dirt, where it's also much cheaper.
Oh, and as far as someone telling you that you planted something in "too much soil"... as long as your pot is smaller than the Earth, it's not too much soil for the plant.
Too much soil for the gardener, perhaps. More soil means more water and more weight to move around. But plants didn't originally grow in pots. They grew in a little planter we call "the Earth". The only plants that can be in "too much soil" are the ones that don't grow in soil to begin with (like certain bromeliads and so on).
Yes, you want to avoid putting tiny plants in enormous pots, but not because it's bad for the plant. The more soil is in the pot the more water has to go into the soil to make it moist. So it's more work for you, particularly if you need to move it.
I've been having a similar issue with a number of cuttings cut from two large hanging pothos plants. Am going to follow the steps mentioned to remove them and will be planting in soil soon. Wanted to contribute that the issue seems to be more prevalent in the cuttings where the roots themselves are more exposed to sunlight. Don't know if that makes it more clear that it's a fungus. Also, I've been using tap water from an older house.
For future reference:
Another source for H2O2 is a beauty salon or supply house. The sell it by "volumes" and all that means is "percent". I use 30-volume (30%) to clean stuff when I need to and it works great; cheap too!
The stuff you buy at the grocery or drug store is only 3% and has several other "filler" ingredients that you don't need.
Hope that helps someone.
osakawebbie, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Pothos is a very easy plant, so I think they will be ok.
In case you are still looking for hydrogen peroxide, they should be in the section with bandage, iodium tincture, and things like those.
Hair products label their hydrogen peroxide(H202) in terms of volume; where each 1% of H2O2 releases 3.3 "volumes" of oxygen.
This means a hair product of 10 volume is essentially the same as the drug store's 3% H202.
Multiply other volumes of H202 by the ratio to find it's %.
With #100 volume you are at 33+% H202 & must use sensible caution.
Greystoke's link discusses using 17.5% H202; don't confuse volume with %.
Buy H202 from a place with high turn over, there is usually some degradation of the actual % content during shelf life.
I had originally rooted my pothos in water also, and like you got a white "growth" on the upper part of the roots closest to the vine itself. after about 3 months i planted it in soil and the white growth is still on it. it doesnt seem to be doing the plant any harm and hasnt spread to the rest of my plants, so i wouldnt worry too much about it :)

1997 Readers' Choice Awards
Welcome to Linux Journal's third annual Readers' Choice Awards.
In response to requests for a larger survey, last year's nine categories were expanded to twenty. A few of the new categories are "Favorite Shell", "Most Desired Upgrade" and "Best Linux Web Page".
The Readers' Choice survey was conducted on the Linux Journal web site, where the voting was open for 6 weeks. Almost 3000 people participated in this year's poll. This survey, though unscientific, is a good way to see what products Linux Journal readers are using, what books they are reading and what games they are playing.
Now, here are the results...
Winner: Red Hat Linux
Runner Up: Debian Linux
Red Hat was the runaway winner of the "Favorite CD-ROM Distribution" this year. Red Hat garnered almost three times as many votes as its nearest competitor, Debian.
Winner: Kernel Korner
Runner Up: Best of Technical Support
Kernel Korner, our technical guide to kernel programming, won the prize as LJ Readers' favorite column. Second place went to the question and answer column Best of Technical Support.
Winner: GCC
Runner Up: Perl
Not surprisingly, GCC won as the "Most Used Development Tool". Perl came in a strong second.
Winner: Cyclades
Runner Up: Digi International
For the third year in a row Cyclades' boards have topped our "Primary Communication Board" category.
Winner: Bash
Runner Up: Tcsh
Bash was the clear winner in the competition of the shells. Our readers picked Bash almost four times more often than any other shell.
Winner: vi
Runner Up: Emacs
vi edged out Emacs in this hotly contested category. The word processing programs lost big to traditional text editors—most word processors got less than a tenth of the votes that vi received.
Winner: GIMP
Runner Up: Corel Draw!
GIMP, the freely distributed graphics program, won a decisive victory over the other graphics applications. GIMP had an edge of more than 1000 votes over runner up Corel Draw!
Winner: Netscape
Runner Up: Lynx
Linux Journal's Readers favor Netscape as their web browser by a wide margin over the text-only Lynx browser.
Winner: Running Linux by Matt Welsh and Lar Kaufman \tPublished by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
Runner Up: Linux Network Administrators Guide by Olaf Kirch \tPublished by SSC, Inc and O'Reilly..
In a reversal of last year's results, Running Linux took first prize and the Linux Network Administrator's Guide took second.

Marlowe Arnold: Imaginative plots keep young readers reading
Humor abounds in this easy chapter book. An overly creative young girl named Hannah imagines that her cat, Buttercup, is a monster cat that will eat all the plants in the world, that the next-door Chihuahua is a wolf, and the turkeys outside have underground cities.
She is joined reluctantly in these imaginative events by Brandon, who has been told by his mother that he must stay after school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Hannah's house.
Brandon goes along with Hannah's outrageous imagining, and they really have fun inventing games and pretending to be pirates whose ship is a tree and the dog pen next door is a ghost ship. Even though Brandon would rather watch TV after school, the ending reveals that Brandon has developed a love for their imaginary games.
The author has an informative Web site and a blog (original content).
Her historical book for older readers is "Hero of Ticonderoga."

This absurd story will capture the attention of dinosaur aficionados. A young boy who hates to go on boring errands with his mother has a shocking experience. After his mother buys doughnuts at the bakery, the baker gives him a dinosaur.
Yes, a real (imaginary) triceratops — his picture covers the page! He follows the boy and his mother to the doctor.
To extend this imaginative motif, the doctor gives the boy a stegosaurus. However, it's noticeable that other kids have dinosaurs too — ankylosaur, duckbill and a velociraptor.
When the boy has his hair cut at the barber shop, he is usually given a balloon, but today the barber gives him a pterosaur. Mother isn't pleased with all these dinosaurs following them, so they go home. Well, the ending is a happy one, but I won't tell. However, just imagine what dinosaurs could do today! I wouldn't mind having one to help with chores.

Special Correspondent
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government proposes to create a special mechanism in the Revenue Department to speed up land acquisition for various public projects, Revenue Minister K.P. Rajendran told the Assembly on Thursday.
Responding to a calling attention motion from Thomas Unniyadan (KC-M), Mr. Rajendran said the government was finding it difficult to acquire land with the required speed on account of various reasons.
Main obstacle
The most important obstacle to land acquisition was the density of population in different parts of the State.
The government could also acquire land only after observing all the rules and norms.
Further, those whose lands are acquired would not be in a position to buy alternative land with the money paid by the government.
The government's efforts in this direction were also being hampered by difficulty in rehabilitating those whose lands are acquired.
He called for support from all sections of the population to ensure that the government was able to acquire land causing least difficulty to the people.

Ind. agency fights utility rates for electric cars
INDIANAPOLIS - A state agency says Indianapolis consumers shouldn't have to pay for a proposed electric car sharing program out of their utility rates.
Indianapolis Power & Light wants the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to approve a rate increase that it says would raise an average residential customer's bill by 44 cents per month.
The Office of Utility Consumer Counselor argued in testimony Friday that the increase isn't allowed under state law, which limits rates to the providing of service to all customers and recovery of operating and maintenance costs.
IPL says it believes the car sharing program will benefit its customers.
Under the plan unveiled in May, the city would partner with a French company to set up charging stations for electric cars that drivers could rent.
An IPL spokeswoman released the following statement:
IPL has met with the OUCC and respects their position, however, we strongly believe the proposal submitted to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) for approval to invest in the BlueIndy all-electric car share program will greatly benefit our customers and the City of Indianapolis. BlueIndy is an innovative program that will bring a needed transportation option to our community.
A spokesman for Mayor Greg Ballard said the proposed IPL hike is a backup plan. The city says the increase is being requested to cover the costs of the charging stations if not enough people use the system to pay off the infrastructure investment.
The city plans to challenge the opposition to the IPL fee.
