American Express: Talking Tags
Naughty or nice?
TalkingTags, by American Express Australia, brings augmented reality to the world of gift tags. Pick a tag, pick a message (you can choose between 'naughty' and 'nice' messages) and you can print and give to a friend. When they hold the tag up to their webcam, it sprouts lips and 'starts talking' - which, as the video suggests, might well liven up a boring gift. The tags are free for Amex Australia members, who were set a tag in the mail to get them online, as part of a wider campaign entitled 'Naughty or Nice' promoting supplementary cards in the run-up to Christmas.

Rallying around Thorburn after scrap shows tight team
CHRIS THORBURN took one for the team Tuesday. And, if called upon, he'll do it again on Thursday. And Saturday. And Sunday. And...
The Winnipeg Jets veteran winger squared off with Leafs tough guy Colton Orr in Tuesday's win and drew praise afterward from teammates and coaches for helping set the tone in what was an impressive performance highlighted by the team's collective grit and speed.
"To be honest, man, it felt great," said Thorburn of his teammates' reaction. "I had a couple of guys come up to me and give me pat on the back and that goes a long way in giving me confidence and just knowing that you're doing the right thing.
"We're a tight-knit group. Whether it's a big goal, a blocked shot or a hit... it's just something that the team rallies around. Our team is so tight-knit that we can feed off it. (Tuesday) night was a big step for us in proving that we're there for each other in a pack-mentality kind of thing."
One of the toughest and most popular hombres in the Jets lineup, Thorburn has more fights this year -- six -- than goals -- one. But he does have a very clear understanding of what his gig is and it's one of the most difficult in all of sports.
"That's a tough role, that's a tough position," said coach Claude Noel. "Chris Thorburn is a really good team player that plays hard and realizes that he probably has to do that to be an NHL player. I'll tell ya, that's not an easy role. I don't think Chris is a heavyweight, but he's willing to do the things necessary for his teammates.
"That's a really tough task to get yourself motivated to do that against guys that are bigger and stronger or possibly better fighters than you. He earns a lot of respect from his teammates in being able to do that."
Having said all that, here's the thing: Thorburn would just as soon be remembered for his spectacular highlight-of-the-night goal against Buffalo last year than for dropping his mitts. But, again, he'll do whatever is required to stay in the lineup -- especially with the club's heavyweight, Anthony Peluso, currently injured.
"I think I'm a guy that can play. I can bring a lot of elements to a game, it's just I've got to do it on a consistent basis," Thorburn said.
"It's something I don't think I need to do to stay in the lineup. It's something I can offer for the team. If the team needs a boost, I'm there to do that.
"It's not like I'm out there to fight every night. It's just seeing how the game is going and judging it from there."
The anti-fighting camp will scoff at what kind of an impact Thorburn vs. Orr had on the game, but with the two men in the penalty box -- and Orr joined by Mark Fraser a few minutes later -- the Jets did score their first power-play goal in eight games.
"It seemed to spark the guys on the bench," said Thorburn "The guys feed off it, our power play went out and got a goal.
"I sat in the box and it was like, 'OK, I accomplished something.' That's the main objective."

Jets Gameday - If not now, when?
Robert Cleave
March 01 2012 02:36PM
When the schedule was drawn up last summer, tonight's Winnipeg-Florida game seemed an unlikely candidate to be a meaningful affair, with the ex-Thrashers and still-Panthers having spent last year wallowing in the depths of the Eastern Conference's second tier. Washington and Tampa were the clear heavyweights starting the season, and by this point in the year, the night seemed certain to just be another dreary encounter between two teams that would once again be relegated to playing out the string.
Of course, that's not quite how the year has unfolded, and as a result this evening's match at the Arena That Elbow Room Forgot has all the appearance of a game with actual playoff implications. With all caveats about the horrid level of the East this year noted, that's a surprising, and welcome, development.

Jets Doing Things The Chevy Way
Matt Eichel
February 28 2012 06:37AM
For Jets General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, taking time to perfect something is the essence of his managing style.
The former 16th overall draft pick in 1988 has had time to grow and learn in the game - not only by playing the game on ice level, but by watching, learning, and being a student of the game.
And wherever Cheveldayoff has gone, success has not been far behind.
In his first season behind the bench as assistant coach to Butch Goring of the IHL's Utah Grizzlies, the team captured the Turner Cup in 1995-96.
That success translated into the next step in his career - becoming a general manager.

You know that Bob Cole line from last year's playoff, "Everything is happening"? Today, on the most over-hyped occasion of the year, someone should pull the esteemed gent away from his afternoon rum to declare the opposite, because if there was ever a day that seemed likely to leave people wondering where the time went, it will be this one. Thankfully, after the Jets, and most other teams, do absolutely nothing of consequence by 2 PM, we'll have a game to watch featuring the return of Jets 1.0's historic nemesis.

Quam remembered as dedicated English teacherPublished 11:11am Monday, April 2, 2012
Evangeline Quam, 98, a retired Fergus Falls High School English teacher who died Wednesday, March 28, was a legend in her own time. Former students from the 1950s, 1960s and other decades marveled at her longevity.
"When we invited former teachers to our 40th class reunion in 2006, Evangeline Quam came quickly to mind," said class reunion planner Carlton Bjerkaas. "She was both energetic and highly motivated as an instructor."
Quam was famous for her narrative about jungle life in Africa. In the 1950s, she took a leave of absence from FFHS to teach at Zulu Lutheran High School in Eshowe, Natal, South Africa, for three years.
"She always had a poise and classiness," said Quam's former student Steve Rufer, a Fergus Falls attorney. "Evangeline knew her subject well. She was a great teacher."
Quam was a graduate of Detroit Lakes High School and Concordia College in Moorhead, who made it a point to keep on learning throughout her life. She attended graduate school at the University of Minnesota, MSU, Moorhead, known then as Moorhead State College, Jamestown College in North Dakota, and the University of Alaska.
In addition to teaching English, she also directed junior class plays, headed speech activities, was advisor for the student convocation committee and was a junior class advisor.
Many high school juniors studied English under the guidance of Quam. During the mid-1960s, her students concentrated on the works of American authors and how they influenced the development of the United States.
Quam instructed her students on the correct procedure to use in writing bibliographies. She offered tips on writing related to a particular subject and certain historical period.
Her former students remember the south wing first floor, which later made room for the community ice arena. That's where English classes were taught by Quam, Carrie Moen, Josephine Sevada and others at the former Fergus Falls High School complex.
In 1965, Quam directed the junior class play, "The Miracle Worker." Helen Keller's childhood turned into the light of understanding, under the tutorship of Annie, a girl who was previously blind. FFHS junior Jill Barnum took the role of Annie Sullivan and Helen was portrayed by Pauline Winjum.
"Evangeline was a wonderful person and was a world traveler," said friend and retired FFHS science teacher Paul Anderson. "She was in our circle of former teachers, along with Grace Halcrow (retired bookkeeping teacher) and others."
Anderson and his wife, Mary Ann, would give rides to Quam and Halcrow when attending events such as Fergus Falls Concert Association performances.
Fellow teacher Wayne Swenson and his wife, Glori, a former student of Quam's, lived in an apartment complex where Quam also resided in the mid-1960s.
"I taught industrial education and had a deep respect for Evangeline," said Swenson. "She had a great reputation."
Quam visited many of the mission fields of the American Lutheran Church. After retiring in 1975, she headed for Papua, New Guinea, and taught English at Balob Teachers College for four years.
Quam's funeral service is at 11 a.m. Wednesday, at First Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls. Burial will be in Oak Grove Cemetery in Detroit Lakes.

An improved blood filter media comprising a woven fabric having a pore size distribution rating of 20 microns and being woven with monofilament yarns in a regular, even-sided twill weave.
1. In a unit for filtering blood, the improvement comprising an uncalendered, unbonded, woven fabric filter media having a nominal pore size rating of 20 microns, a pore size distribution range of from 17 microns to 23 microns, and woven with monofilament yarns having a yarn diameter of from 30 microns to 36 microns, said media being woven in a two-up and two-down twill weave, whereby the media is stable and retains its nominal pore size rating and pore size distribution range during use.
2. A woven fabric filter media according to claim 1 wherein the monofilament yarns are nylon monofilament yarns having a yarn diameter of 32 microns.
This is a continuation-in-part application of our co-pending application, Ser. No. 553,703, filed Feb. 27, 1975, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an improved blood filter media.
The filtration of blood is a delicate and critical operation. Blood filtration requires that the debris, such as clots and various types of agglomerates, be removed without removing desirable red cells or other desirable portions of the blood and without degradation of the blood.
Whole blood comprises plasma, red cells, white cells and platelets. The red cells have diameters of from about 8 to 10 microns and the white blood cells have diameters of from about 12 to 20 microns. Whole blood, after storage for a relatively short period of time, and blood which is passing through an extracorporeal circuit, such as is used in open heart surgery, or through a dialysis operation will tend to degrade and build debris in the blood. This debris must be filtered from the blood before the blood is returned or given to a patient. The debris may comprise blood clots or various types of aggregates of the platelet type or the leucocyte type and may include agglomeration of protein precipitates and other undesirable debris. In filtering this blood, the ultimate is to remove all of the undesirable debris while not removing any of the desirable red blood cells or white blood cells or the platelets. Hence, media used in the filtration of blood must meet certain requirements. It must have no harmful effects on the blood or degrade the blood. The media should be stable during filtration, that is its pore size distribution range should not be altered. Very often some media will start to plug and after limited use will remove some of the desirable red and white blood cells from the blood. The media should have as much open area as possible to make the most efficient use of the media area and make the filter small and easily handled.
More specifically media used in filtering blood should have a relatively uniform pore size and the media should maintain this pore size throughout the use of the media. In prior art blood filtration medias made from woven fabrics, one technique for accomplishing this is to bond the woven yarns at their cross-over point. This means a binder material must be added to the media and the exact same amount added at each cross-over point. If too much binder is added at a cross-over the pore size is decreased and the pore size distribution range increased upsetting the very delicate balance required in filtering blood. Another technique for obtaining the desired stability in a woven fabric blood filter media is to calender the fabric. This process tends to flatten the yarns at their cross-over point and also disrupts the pore size rating of the media.
Furthermore, the larger the yarns used in producing the filter fabric the more stable it may be made by utilizing the friction of the crossing yarns. However, the larger the yarns the less the open area and the greater the pressure drop across the media which is undesirable when filtering blood.
We have discovered an improved blood filter media. Our improved media has a nominal pore size rating of 20 microns. Our improved media is stable during use and retains this pore size rating even after considerable quantities of blood have been filtered. Our improved filter media has minimal deleterious effects on the blood being filtered. Unexpectedly, our new blood filter media has a very narrow distribution range and while it removes all of the undesirable debris from the blood it does not remove the desirable red blood cells and white blood cells in the blood.
In accordance with the present invention, our improved blood filter media is a woven fabric. The fabric is woven in a regular, even-sided two up and two down twill weave using monofilament yarns having a yarn diameter of 30 to 36 microns. The woven fabric has a nominal pore size rating of 20 microns and a distribution range of from 17 microns to 23 microns. Preferably our improved blood filter media is woven with nylon monofilament yarns having a diameter of 32 microns.
What we have discovered is that if a fabric is woven using 30 to 36 micron diameter monofilament yarns in a regular, even-sided, two up and two down weave to produce a nominal 20 micron pore size rating you unexpectedly obtain a very narrow pore size distribution range of 6 microns and perhaps more unexpectedly are able to maintain both the nominal pore size and the narrow distribution range throughout extended use of the filter media. Furthermore, these unexpected results are obtained without calendering or bonding the fabric, which it is believed would in fact tend to disrupt these desired results.
The invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the improved filter media of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a blood filter unit incorporating the media of the present invention.
Referring to the drawings, in FIG. 1, there is shown the improved blood filter media 10 of the present invention. The media is woven with nylon monofilament yarns 11 and these yarns are used in both the warp and the filling directions. The media is woven in a regular, even-sided, two up and two down twill weave. Though nylon monofilament yarns are preferred, the media may also be woven with polyester monofilament yarns or other monofilament yarns which will not degrade or have a deleterious effect on the blood. It is important that monofilament yarns be used as it is believed that such yarns, being smoother and with less rough areas such as are present in multifilament or spun yarns, have a longer life and have less deleterious effects on the blood. The size of the monofilaments should be as small as possible. The smaller the diameter of each yarn, the more open area in the filter while still maintaining a desired pore size. Sizes of from about 30 microns in diameter to 36 microns in diameter have been found suitable in accordance with the present invention.
The media should not be calendered or the yarns bonded or held together at their cross-over points. This is important as it appears that calendering or bonding tends to disrupt the pore size rating and distribution range and, surprisingly, does not have any improved effect on the stability of the two up and two down twill weave. By stability, it is meant that its initially rated pore size is maintained throughout its expected life. The improved blood filter media has a nominal pore size rating of 20 microns. If its rating is less than 20 microns, it will remove desirable portions such as white and red blood cells from the blood being filtered. If its pore size rating is greater than 20 microns, it will not remove all of the undesirable debris. The media should have a particle distribution range of from 17 microns to 23 microns. This is a narrow distribution range; however, it is important to the present invention. A wider distribution range will either remove too many important portions of the blood or not remove sufficient debris or, in some instances, may have both harmful effects. Furthermore, the wider distribution ranges do not maintain that distribution range during extended uses and hence are unsatisfactory.
The two up and two down twill weave using substantially the same size yarns in the warp and fill direction produces a fabric having very uniform openings which is essential to the present invention. The fact that our fabric media is not calendered or heat set allows us to insure the maintenance of this opening in a blood filter unit.
It has been theorized that the above-described twill weave combined with the lack of calendering produces some depth to the fabric media or depth to the openings or pores in the fabric. This slight depth to the pore helps in preventing slightly larger particles than the size of the opening from changing shape and squeezing through an opening or pore.
In FIG. 2, there is shown one embodiment of a blood filter unit 15 that utilizes the blood filter media of the present invention. The unit comprises a housing 16 and a filter cartridge 17 disposed within the housing. At the top of the housing is an inlet opening 18 for the incoming blood and an air vent 19 to allow air to escape from the filter unit. The filter cartridge is cylindrical in shape. The outside walls of the cylinder are formed by the filter media 20 of the present invention. The media may be flat or fluted in its cylindrical form. The inside surface of the media is supported by an open mesh-like cylinder 21. The upper end of the media is sealed by a cap 22. The lower end of the media is sealed into the bottom portion of the housing. In the center of the bottom portion of the housing and positioned adjacent the center of the filter cartridge is the blood outlet opening 23.
In operation, the blood flows in the path as shown by the arrows in the drawing. The blood enters through the inlet 18 and from outside the filter cartridge into the center of the cartridge and out the outlet 23.
Though a cylindrical blood filter unit has been shown, the unit may be of any desired shape and the media may take any configuration as desired.
Having thus described the present invention, it should be understood that many variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention itself; the invention is only limited by the scope of the claims appended hereto.

ListPosted June 13, 2013 By kmarrs
I feel like instead of a blog post I should make a proper list of all the things I need to get done.
As I sit here typing this on my phone, no less than 3 hours after it was due to drop, we'll make item 1 on that list:
Write some blog posts to schedule to drop. I always write ahead. I can rearrange if something comes up that is time sensitive.
Fill out Luke's application to school next year. Not technically due yet but on my desk and needs done eventually. Don't want to last minute it.
School work. Not that I would forget, but if I'm making a to-do list school will forever be on the list now.
Speaking of school, group meeting Friday! Forgetting would be bad since I run the damn thing. I don't mean it when I say "damn thing" just fyi.
Work event Saturday after work. Need to be sure to remember. We are sponsoring, so I'll be out talking to people.
I didn't get my laundry done last weekend so I need to catch up this weekend.
Start a new book with Lucas.
Finish my current book. It is so boring though. Important, but boring.
Evaluate my financial goal plan. Make sure I'm on task. Something is due soon. I think it is the refinance of the car. Must be sure!
Take a look at the passport process. Fill out the application. Does it require money? Probably.
Postpone the passport process awhile longer due to lack of funds.
Try and find time to sleep. Haha! Good one!

Tuuli Jõesaar writes in Eesti Päevaleht that Tallinn City Government's policy to designate whole lanes only for public transport and plans to introduce free public transport serves only one aim: to force more people to register as residents of Tallinn.
The reason is simple: tax revenues earned from every resident are high and such an important revenue for the City's budget that it justifies such draconian measures.
Namely, the City earns 11.4 percent of the salary paid to a resident of Tallinn. Considering that average gross wages in 2011 were 967 euros, the City earns about 1,000 euros a year on every resident.
Personal income tax makes up about 53 percent of the City's tax revenues and last year amounted to 220 million euros.
This year the City plans to earn 232 million euros in personal income tax of its residents which is 12 million euros more than a year earlier.
This is a very optimistic target since in six months, Tallinn registered about 1,000 new residents which means only an extra million euros in personal income tax.
In earlier years, the city used a carrot approach to attract more people to register themselves as residents of Tallinn. Last year it offered residents an opportunity to exempt the land under their home from land tax.
The land tax campaign, for instance, is believed to have increased the number of residents registered in Tallinn by about a thousand people.
The City also offers some public transport subsidies for permanent residents of Tallinn.
Tallinn City Government now believes that by making it more difficult for motorists to drive in Tallinn, more people will be interested to register as residents of Tallinn and use free public transport that should be introduced next year.
According to calculations, the direct loss of introducing free public transport in Tallinn is 14 million euros, ie the fare revenue that has been collected until now.
To offset this loss by tax revenues, the City needs to find 14,200 new residents who would earn at least average wages.
While opposition has voiced its doubt whether such a large number of people could be found, the City disagrees.
According to deputy mayor Taavi Aas, it is estimated that there are about 26,000 people living in Tallinn who are not registered as residents.
This view is upheld by the findings of the population census carried out this spring that indicated that the figure is about 24,000 people.

William Makepeace Thackeray Poems
A Tragic Story
There lived a sage in days of yore, And he a handsome pigtail wore; But wondered much and sorrowed more, Because it hung behind him.
To His Serving Boy
Persicos odi Puer, apparatus; Displicent nexae Philyra coronae:
At the Church-Gate
Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot, Ofttimes I hover, And near the sacred gate,
Sorrows of Werther
Werther had a love for Charlotte Such as words could never utter; Would you know how first he met her? She was cutting bread and butter.
King Canute
KING CANUTE was weary hearted; he had reigned for years a score, Battling, struggling, pushing, fighting, killing much and robbing more;
The Mahogany Tree
Christmas is here: Winds whistle shrill, Icy and chill, Little care we:
The Age of Wisdom
Ho! pretty page, with the dimpled chin, That never has known the Barber's shear, All your wish is woman to win; This is the way that boys begin--
A Credo (after the German)
For the sole edification Of this decent congregation, Goodly people, by your grant I will sing a holy chant --
Come To The Greenwood Tree
Come to the greenwood tree, Come where the dark woods be, Dearest, O come with me! Let us rove—O my love—O my love!
Fairy Days
Beside the old hall-fire—upon my nurse's knee, Of happy fairy days—what tales were told to me!
Larry O'Toole
You've all heard of Larry O'Toole, Of the beautiful town of Drumgoole; He had but one eye, To ogle ye by—
Dear Jack
Dear Jack, this white mug that with Guinness I fill, And drink to the health of sweet Nan of the Hill, Was once Tommy Tosspot's, as jovial a sot
From Pocahontas
Returning from the cruel fight How pale and faint appears my knight! He sees me anxious at his side; 'Why seek, my love, your wounds to hide?
Ah, Bleak And Barren Was The Moor
Ah! bleak and barren was the moor, Ah! loud and piercing was the storm, The cottage roof was shelter'd sure,

A Tragic Story
There lived a sage in days of yore,
And he a handsome pigtail wore;
But wondered much and sorrowed more,
Because it hung behind him.
He mused upon this curious case,
And swore he'd change the pigtail's place,
And have it hanging at his face,
Not dangling there behind him.
Says he, 'The mystery I've found -
Says he, 'The mystery I've found!
I'll turn me round,' - he turned him round;
But still it hung behind him.
Then round and round, and out and in,
All day the puzzled sage did spin;
In vain - it mattered not a pin -

A look at what's happening about the city
TORONTO Target's arrival in Canada will take a bite out of the sales of several key rivals, according to a new report, though many of those named have said they're not fazed by new competitive pressure from the American retail giant.
In a report assessing the impact of Target's arrival next year, Barclays Capital said Monday that Wal-Mart, Sears Canada, Old Navy, Loblaw's Joe Fresh brand and Canadian Tire are the retailers most at risk.
Target is preparing to move into Canada, its first expansion outside the U.S. It will begin opening the first of between 125 and 135 stores in March and April at locations once owned by Canadian retailer Zellers.
"Target's arrival marks the addition of another best-in-class global operator entering the Canadian market. We expect Target to focus on what they are most known for when they arrive: apparel and house goods," the report said.
"Over time the greatest risk to established retailers is the permanent change in customer traffic patterns that Target could induce," it said.
However, the investment firm also said other retailers that don't overlap in their offerings — such as dollar stores and higher-end retail stores — may benefit from increased traffic generated by Target.
Sears Canada is the most at risk of the general retailers, with significant overlap in its offerings and 37 per cent of its locations less than a kilometre away from a Target location, the report said.
"Sears' housewares and value priced, mostly private label, apparel offering (No. 2 in Canada behind Wal-Mart) makes Sears Canada one of the most at-risk retailers. Sears Canada's management believes 70 per cent of their categories overlap with Target's offering," it added.
Sears Canada has already been struggling to compete and is revamping many of its locations and slashing prices to contend with lagging sales. The retailer has announced the closure of four prime store locations in Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa.
The arrival will also eat into Wal-Mart's business, the report said, noting that Target's chief rival "may implement several 'mitigation and offset' strategies to minimize Target's net impact on their business."
Wal-Mart Canada, a subsidiary of the world's biggest retailer, has said it is confident it's prepared for Target's arrival. As part of the plan, it will lower the prices of more items to about $1 as it also answers to the expansion by Canadian dollar store operator Dollarama Inc.
The retailer has never competed against Target Corp. outside its home base in the United States, which means Canadians could react to the new entrant in ways Wal-Mart hasn't anticipated.
Canadian Tire is expected to take a hit, but Barclays analyst Jim Durran notes that when Wal-Mart first launched in Canada, Canadian Tire was able to recover by the following year.
"There is no doubt that Canadian Tire will suffer some sales erosion to Target, particularly in Target's perceived 'go to' categories such as housewares, apparel and seasonal merchandise," the report said.
However, Barclays noted that Canadian Tire's most loyal customers generate a majority of its sales and just 30 per cent of the Canadian retailer's stores will be within five kilometres of a Target.
Canadian Tire Corp. is working aggressively to carve out a bigger share of the market before Target arrives. It has unveiled a new automotive-centric store format in a strategy aimed at improving customer experience among those shopping for products that helped make the company a household name.
Meanwhile, the report calls discount retailer Dollarama Inc. a special case among retailers as they offer something different from Target.

Video Mount Products Launches Low-Profile DVR-LB3 DVR Lockbox at ASIS 2012
âThe DVR-LB3 is the next in our series of DVR lockboxes, following our popular DVR-LB1 and DVR-LB2 lockboxes,â explained Keith Fulmer, president of Video Mount Products. âThe DVR-LB3 features all the security benefits of the others in the series, but its low-profile makes it perfect for todayâs smaller DVRs and for installations restricted to limited space requirements.â
Due to the smaller, more compact chassis where heat issues may arise, VMP has included a single fan, as well as a mounting location for a second fan should additional thermal management be required. Multiple vents with vent blockers for active or passive thermal management have also been incorporated.
Additional features of the VMP DVR-LB23 lockbox include:
⢠Interior dimensions: 17.2in W x 21in D x 5in H
⢠Rack mountable on two or four posts with a three RU overall height
⢠Interlocking lift-off lid
⢠Key-locked hinged front door
⢠Black static resistant powder coat finish
According to Fulmer, high-end electronics have become a staple in todayâs security, CI, residential, and commercial marketplaces. As these expensive technologies and equipment, including DVRs, find homes in more and more commercial and professional settings, additional security measures need to be taken to insure these electronics are not harmed or stolen without compromising remote control accessibility.
âOur DVR-LB3 is the next generation DVR lockbox, built upon the principle of creating peace of mind for those who require DVRs be installed in settings that may be prone to theft or vandalism, but at the same time allowing for the flexibility of a smaller housing solution,â Fulmer concluded.
For more information, please visit www.videomount.com or call (410) 643-6390 or toll free 877-281-2169. If you need help choosing the right mount for your application, try the Video Mount Finder at www.chooseamount.com.

19 Encore Azalea varieties hardy to USDA Zone 6B; 10 varieties hardy to USDA Zone 6A
Years of trials in botanical gardens, university trials and plant nurseries have yielded important new cold-hardy findings about Encore Azaleas, according to Kip McConnell, director of Plant Development Services, Inc. The studies reveal that nineteen varieties of Encore Azalea are cold hardy to USDA Zone 6B and 10 of those varieties are cold hardy to USDA zone 6A.
"These findings significantly expand the accepted growing areas for Encore Azaleas," says McConnell. "For years, garden centers and home gardeners in these zones have told us about their success with many of our varieties during cold weather and now these findings confirm their cold-hardiness. Years of research confirm that even more gardeners can now enjoy Encore Azaleas since these varieties continue to thrive, even through winter freezing."
Ten varieties consistently exhibited cold hardiness throughout Zones 6A and 6B:
In Zone 6B, nine additional varieties also consistently exhibited solid cold hardiness:
For best results in Zones 6B and colder, gardeners should plant in spring or early summer. In zones 7-9, Encore Azaleas benefit from fall and late-summer planting schedules. Encore Azaleas may need special care in zones colder than 6A, but their multi-season blooms make them ideal for container gardens. As a base plant in a container garden, Encore Azaleas can be paired with seasonal favorites, and then moved inside when a winter freeze threatens.
Encore Azaleas begin blooming each spring like a traditional azalea. Once this initial blooming concludes, new shoots begin to grow and set buds. Blooms emerge again in mid-summer and continue in many areas until first frost; that's something no other azalea can consistently do. Today, the 25 varieties of Encore Azalea offers a growth habit and bloom color for every landscape. The evergreen shrubs enjoy more sun than traditional azaleas, but offer the same easy care.
Encore Azaleas are the invention of plant breeder Robert E. "Buddy" Lee of Independence, Louisiana. PDSI, based in Loxley, Ala., assisted Lee in the 15-year hybridization and selection process, and now manages the wholesale grower group that brings Encore Azaleas to gardeners across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Northwest and California.

Mealy Bug on Dracaena!
Dear friends,
After much admiring of my houseplants today, I discovered to my horror what I think can only be mealy bug living upon my recently purchased dracaena massangeana.
At first I thought, "How did clumps of dust fall upon these newer leaves?" and then I wiped one of the small clumps away..."What is that shiny/sticky stuff undernea....Oh NO!"
Indeed, I have found numerous little puffballs over the plant.
This is a relatively new plant bought when freshly rooted from IKEA. Its only about 2 months old.
I dont think that it has ever been in direct contact with any other plant but it has been close; about 6-12 inches away.
Is there hope to eradicate the pest? Has anyone been successful with this pest and a dracaena before? Is the plant a goner? What are the chances that it jumped to my other nearby Janet Craig? Will I have to replace all of my plants?
The only other time i had this pest was when i was a teenager and then it was only on a cactus I bought and was easy to eradicate with alcohol and a q-tip.
Can I spray each leaf junction with rubbing alcohol or will that harm the plant.
Waaaa! I can't believe that IKEA with their modern styling and comfortable prices (notice I didnt call IKEA furniture comfortable, just their prices) would do this to me! lol
Any help/ideas very much appreciated.
Do you need us to look at a picture to verify the mealybugs, or are you pretty certain?
Yes, you can spray a water : alcohol solution on your Dracaena. I recommend a 3 : 1 ratio, but others have used stronger. I strongly suggest an isolation period for your plant and that you keep an eye on all of your others.

flight time and safe driving ??
Expand Messages
- Hi, I am looking for a reality/safety check...
My husband and I are flying into San Jose in mid December on a Tuesday afternoon about 1pm, and are planning on staying thru Sunday. We are planning on staying Tuesday night somewhere around the Escazu, Santa Ana area and visiting University for Peace Wednesday morning before moving on to La Fortuna.
We will be renting a car and I have one major concern - - my recently graduated from college (about 22ish) femle cousin, who is fluent in Spanish will be joining us for our trip, but does not fly into San Jose until 10pm. Would it be safe and feasible for us to plan on picking her up from the airport at that time, or better for her to plan on taking a taxi to where we will be? We obviously don't mind picking her up, but would like some insight as to what might be the best option, as this is all of our first trip to CR and we will not have our bearings.
Also, how far is it, driving time from the SJO airport to Escazu or Santa Ana?
Thank you for all the information you share, it is much appreciated and entertaining to read. What a great group!

- Just my opinion, but I would go with the Taxi. They are cheap and if she has instructions with her, pretty reliable. Picking up from the airport is not hard either - I have never picked up anyone, but I have been picked up several times by our business partner. I wonder if the parking costs might be about as much as the Taxi ride though.
The first time I traveled to Costa Rica, I arrived at 2:00 am in the morning with a slip of paper explaining how to get to the place I was going. I made it just fine, and at the time I did not speak any Spanish, not even "Cafe con Leche, por favor", which for me is a survival skill.
[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
- Picking someone up at the airport is not hard. Getting
lost between the airport and Santa Ana or Escazu in
the dark is not hard either, if you are new in town.
Since your cousin is fluent in Spanish she should have
no problem taking a taxi to your hotel. I would also
check and see if the hotel has a courtesy van.

Thread restarted: Still Can't send mail on Tribble
I searched for 8 pages of bug report posts and did not see my old mail fail thread, so I guess that I have to begin a new one.
Previous, once this new UI and new mail system started for Tribble, I discovered that I could not send mail on Tribble only. Items I try to send were not taken out of my inventory. The mail would act just as if when I pressed the SEND button, I had instead pressed the CLEAR button. Then I discovered that all of the items on Tribble that I had stored in old mails had vanished. : (
On 04/19/13, shortly after logging in, There was suddenly a flood of Exchange returns from Exchange@Exchange (I believe) that seemed to be returning my items to me that were stored in Tribble mails (there's a lot of them). While it is great to have the things back, they are all out of order and I was previously using the subject line to describe what the contents of my 'storage mails' was. No luck anymore. Now they are all 'Lot #240999' and stuff like that, in random orders.
I could live with that. Just means that the next two or three months, I would be sorting them all out.
I *STILL* can't send mail to myself or anyone else, whether there are items attached or not. That means that I can't re-store items in an organized way back into mail. I have to leave everything in that big jumble since I can't put it back in there.
Worse, now it seems that others can't send me mail, either. When they try, it fails the same way. Go ahead and try it on Tribble: @alkelda
This is going to totally suck when it goes live if I still have the same issue with mail.
