My Problem
My wife dropped her 3gs and the screen was pretty cheap. I already had a tool kit from a battery replacement, so this seemed easy enough.
My Fix
Getting the phone apart was easy having done that before with the battery. My kid unscrewed it. Peeling off the broken glass from the plastic part that needed to be saved was tricky. I didn't have a heat gun, so I held the whole thing in front of a small space heater until the glue got soft - this took longer than I thought. So it was heat, then scrape, heat, then pry, etc. Ended up peeling away some black rubbery trim that I shouldn't have, but overall was able to get it cleaned up. Placing the double sided tape took a steady hand, though it was forgiving if you messed up. Just peeled off and started over. After getting the glass in place, I realized it rests slightly higher than the original - meaning now the home button is recessed deeper, and not flush with the glass. My wife doesn't seem to mind this though, so I'm calling the repair a success.
Amendment: Her phone touch screen is slowly becoming non-responsive. Bummer, but despite my best efforts to replace just the screen, it actually didn't work. This was harder than I thought. Already ordered the full screen assembly to replace for about $40 shipped, which I guess is what I should have done in the first place!
My Advice
Use a heat gun...would have been way better than my space heater method. If you just buy the digitizer + screen combo for $30, you probably won't have the home button issue I had.
Amendment: unless you are a semi pro repair person, go with the whole screen assembly...waaa

My Problem
Broken front glass on an iPhone 3GS, Again.
My Fix
It was fast and much easier this time, maybe 40 minutes. But I had been in this iPhone several times before.
My Advice
Be careful pulling off inside screen protection plastic, mine started to pull off the standoff also. Just push it back down and don't touch the inside glass with the fingers.

My Problem
I have a friend that shattered the glass on his iPhone 3GS and did not want to spend a lot of money on a repair. He had tape all across the front of the phone and it still worked. He asked if i could help him out and not pay a lot of money. After finding your website, i found what i needed and the cost was extremely low.
My Fix
The repair was very easy. I have big hands, and the only difficult part was reconnecting the ribbon cables for the phone to work. Other than that, the instructions provided on your website were very easy to follow
My Advice
if the front panel glass is shattered on the iPhone you are working on, be sure to use something to pry off a small piece of glass first. once you do that, it is easy to get the remaining glass off of the front panel. Alternate with a hair dryer or heat gun and prying.

My Problem
Had a shattered front glass on an spare, working 3GS that was being used as a perfect music storage device [via usb hookup into a JVC car stereo]. Wanted to fix the glass to use it as a phone in Europe, since the electronics were all operational in the phone. Touchpad worked fine through the shattered glass!
My Fix
I was able to remove the front panel with the suction cup and unhook the cables w/o any problems. The display appeared to be a very tight fit and removal was a bit difficult, but all appeared ok at that point. iFixit directions were superb!
But it went downhill from there. It seemed to take forever to heat up and remove all the broken glass from the frame. Even cut myself (my fault). Removal of all of the glue residue was easy, and applying the adhesive strips went well. But after a frustrating time removing the adhesive covering, I took the new glass and began to line it up to attach it. What I had neglected to remove was a thin protective film covering on the glass. So of course, the glass and the frame lined up perfectly, and the adhesive cemented itself to the film covering, NOT the glass. (My fault - strike two). I had to redo everything using a spare adhesive kit which I happened to order not knowing the glass came with adhesive.
I put everything together carefully, snapped the panel back onto the phone body, and found to my horror that I must have damaged the 3GS display while prying it apart from the frame (see display discolorations in photo). The display now does not work. (My fault - strike three.)
So it goes...
My Advice
- Should have ordered the panel with the frame already assembled (glass, button, etc) to save frustration which lead to mistakes.
- Should have been much more careful when prying apart the frame from the display.
- Should have just not attempted the repair and perhaps applied a screen protector over the damaged glass.
March 17, 2014
My Problem
I fixed it for the fun of looking how small these parts are. They made a good job of packing everything in a so small case. I changed the battery first and secondly the front panel. It works nicely.
My Fix
I am not as talented as your personnel, and I did not want to break anything more. So I took my time read twice the manual and did it. I'm a bit proud of adding more days to its 3GS life. Almost a vintage phone!
My Advice
It's fun to repair.
February 5, 2014
My Problem
Front Panel was broken.
My Fix
The Replacement went pretty well. But the supplied both side adhesive tape was just for the upper and the lower missing the sidelines, which are very thin. When I detach the old panel I did not care much to save the side lines. After reassembly, I found touch screen sensor does not work properly along the side lines. I guess that the contact between the glass panel and the lcd panel is not perfect and that's why the touch screen does not properly along the side lines.
My Advice
Be careful too save the adhesives in the side lines to reuse them, or you have to cut a both side adhesive tape vey slim to apply. I have not tried though.

My Problem
I got hammered one night and tried to jump over a fence to impress a girl. Instead of landing on my feet, i landed on my phone and shattered the screen.
My Fix
The repair went well, I highly recommend having the metal spudger handy when replacing the screen. The hair dryer i borrowed from the girl i was trying to impress worked remarkably well as a heat gun.
My Advice
Be careful of the glass splinters and of jumping fences when your tanked.

My Problem
My daughter dropped her (our old) iPhone 3GS and shattered the front glass. Her phone needed frequent charging so while I was repairing it, I decided to go ahead and get a new battery also. Took the opportunity to go ahead and order a new 4S rear panel for my wife's phone that was also cracked from a different drop.
My Fix
The 4S rear panel is a snap! Anyone that can use a screwdriver can easily replace one in about 5 minutes.
Removal of the battery from the back of the 3GS case is a bit tricky, but it's not my first rodeo, so that went fine without incident. Replacement of the front panel took some time and patience, but it looks and works great. Thanks iFixit!
My Advice
Go slowly when removing the battery. Highly recommend using a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive to minimize the chance of bending the old battery.
Replacing just the front panel on the 3GS is not for the faint of heart. Separating the glass from the frame was tricky and it was challenging to keep from bending the frame. Watch out for glass shards! Also, be diligent to remove all the glue residue to ensure a tight fit. Carefully align the two pieces before pressing them together as the adhesive strips do their job well. Slow and steady is the way to win this race.
May 23, 2013
My Problem
screen broken and rear case with too much miles.
The on/off button doesn't work and there was no volume up/down button
Oh! And the battery was almost dead :)
My Fix
Thanks to the guide, i had no trouble to make it work.
My Advice
stick to the guide ;)
December 18, 2012
My Problem
The front panel was cracked so bad, I didn't think I could fix it.
My Fix
I followed the slide show to the tee. I had a little trouble getting the glass off, I bought the tool set and it helped alot.
My Advice
No advise, everything the slides showed worked.

The United Nations has put the United States under a deeply critical eye, and has taken it to task for many human rights abuses. Among the items in the recent report, officials are critical about the nation's practice of jailing the homeless and sentencing juveniles as adults to life sentences to drone warfare as well as spying by the National Security Agency.

Keywords: United Nations, United States, human rights abuses
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The report's authors found the U.S. lacking on 25 human rights issues.
"The U.S. is adept at demanding human rights change from other governments while failing to meet international standards itself," Jos� Luis D�az, Amnesty International's representative at the U.N. said.
No child need ever go to bed hungry -- go here!
D�az welcomed the U.N.'s recommendations on torture transparency as well as calls for ending the death penalty nationwide. He also called for limiting the use of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons. The U.S. "must implement the recommendations of the Human Rights Committee without delay," D�az declared.
The report was not entirely negative. The U.N. praised some steps the U.S. government has taken, such as curbing human trafficking and a 2009 ban on Central Intelligence Agency torture and secret detention.
According to the U.N's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in regards to the use of torture, the reformation of interrogation techniques does not go far enough. He called for an investigation and prosecution of members of the "armed forces and other agents of the U.S. government" allegedly involved in torturing detainees.
D�az also urged the U.S. to shutter the detention camp at Guant�namo Bay in Cuba and transfer its prisoners.
"The state party [the United States] should ensure that all cases of unlawful killing, torture or other ill-treatment, unlawful detention or enforced disappearance are effectively, independently and impartially investigated, that perpetrators, including, in particular, persons in command positions, are prosecuted and sanctioned and that victims are provided with effective remedies," the report reads.
The U.N. also called on the U.S. to implement protections against the invasion of privacy of individuals by making public laws that allow for surveillance. The U.S. must "reform the current system of oversight over surveillance activities" by involving judicial supervision.
Concerned that "those affected have no access to effective remedies in case of abuse," the U.N. advised the U.S. to create pathways for restitution for people who have been spied on unjustly.

OGR Cuttings Exchange
chris209June 21, 2014
Hi everyone,
The spring flush is just wrapping up in my garden, and it's a great time to take cuttings. I would love to trade for some OGR cuttings or suckers. I'm especially interested in gallicas, damasks, and hybrid musks, but open to other things as well. Please see my trade list. If you like hybrid musks, I grow a fairly rare one called 'Daphne', which is not easily available.

This is an outstanding medium-to-full coverage pressed-powder foundation for all skin types. The texture is creamy and smooth (just as the name suggests), if a bit dry, yet the effect is incredibly skin-like, leaving a luminous, non-chalky glow without shimmer (with the exception of those in the Deep shade range, which have noticeable shine).
The "mineral" designation is silly, but many women have been brainwashed into thinking "mineral" powders are better for them, so everyone in the cosmetics industry slaps the word "mineral" on their products. Regardless of the name, it goes on beautifully, without exaggerating lines or caking around blemishes. The shades are equally impressive, with workable options for both fair and medium-to-dark skin tones. Nutmeg proved to be an especially lovely neutral shade for dark skin tones, while Spice was a bit too orange.
Rather than gunk up your brushes, this foundation applies better with a sponge, but a brush can work if you desire more sheer coverage. Though it lacks an SPF rating, Smooth Minerals applies well over moisturizer with sunscreen, and there's enough titanium dioxide and other sunscreen ingredients in the formula that it wouldn't be a surprise if Avon announces later on that this does indeed provide some sun protection.
Please note that there is a discrepancy on the packaging: the ingredient list is not correct. Our team confirmed with Avon that the correct ingredient list is on their site (and ours), not on the box.
Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Bismuth Oxychloride, Zinc Stearate, Zinc Oxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, DI-PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Adipate, Dimethicone, Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment, Saccharomyces/Magnesium Ferment, Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment, Saccharomyces/Malachite Ferment, Saccharomyces/Tourmaline Ferment, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Diisostearyl Malate, Silica, Tocopherol, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Calcium PCA, Kaolin, Zinc PCA, BHT, Methylparaben, Butylparaben
Avon At-A-Glance
Strengths: Broad-spectrum sun protection from most of the SPF products; a selection of good cleansers, moisturizers, and serums; a phenomenal concealer and a handful of other excellent makeup products at bargain prices; the company provides complete ingredient lists on its Web site and offers some of the most helpful Customer Service associates in the industry.
Weaknesses: The Clearskin products are mostly irritating and poor choices for anyone battling blemishes; the Anew Clinical lineup isn't as impressive as its made out to be; an overreliance on jar packaging diminishes the antioxidants found in many Avon moisturizers; endless, unnecessarily repetitive moisturizers with exaggerated, outlandish claims; some of the foundations look unnatural.
The last few years have been an interesting time for the world's largest direct seller. Avon is sold in 120 countries and has an enormous range of products that goes beyond skin care and makeup, all sold by five million Avon representatives racking up annual sales of over $8 billion (Source: www.avoncompany.com). Yet due to several quarters of lackluster or poor financial performance, the company announced a multiyear restructuring plan in 2006. The anticipated cost of these changes is upwards of $500 million, which includes downsizing underperforming areas and focusing on remarketing their star products. In recent years, those key products have had "cosmeceutical" appeal, with claims that have gone beyond reality (but overexaggerated claims sell big in the cosmetics industry).
The Anew Clinical line ushered in several products claiming to work like (or, in some instances, better than) cosmetic corrective procedures. Whether you are considering laser treatments, Botox, Thermage, collagen injections, or even liposuction, the ads for Anew Clinical were designed to make you rethink that decision.
It is definitely impressive that Avon invested $100 million on a state-of-the-art research and product development facility in New York, but despite some innovative products that compete with the best of the best (typically for much less money), no cosmetics company has (or will) produce skin-care products that rival or beat the results obtainable from medical procedures. It's admittedly easier to slather on a cream or stroke a pad over your face than to make an office call and shoulder the expense for a cosmetic corrective procedure, but in this case convenience and savings don't equal—or even come close to—comparable results. And lest we forget, despite the onslaught of so-called cosmeceutical products claiming to mimic the results such procedures provide, the number of these procedures being performed increases each year. If any of these works-like-(insert cosmetic corrective procedure here) products did work, the number of procedures would be declining, not rising.
The National Advertising Division (NAD) took issue with several claims Avon made in ads for their Anew Clinical products (Source: www.nadreview.org/default.asp?SessionID=1149178&DocType=1&CaseType=1). In some cases, Avon reworded their claims in ad reprints, while in others they "respectfully disagreed" with the NAD conclusions but agreed to take their comments into consideration for future ads. We'll see how this turns out, but, based on their current ads, the message remains that Anew Clinical products are at the forefront of making cosmetic corrective procedure results as easy as calling your Avon representative and reciting your credit card number.
As a major international cosmetics company, Avon has several initiatives in place that prove its commitment to women and the environment. Whether donating to women's health concerns (most notably breast cancer), surpassing environmental regulations, or financially supporting alternative methods to animal testing, Avon's principles are responsible and admirable. If you pay attention to the best of what they have to offer, you will not only be supporting Avon's mission to improve the lives of women but also gaining some wonderful products, making it a win-win situation.
The bad news is that unless you know what you want and order from Avon's Web site, dealing with an Avon representative tends to be a frustrating experience. Try as they might, most of them are mere order-takers. They cannot keep up with the product assortment, sales, and changes that occur between Avon's "campaigns." One of the representatives we dealt with was quite frank about how much she didn't know, and mentioned that they are not kept as up-to-date as they should be, not to mention the haphazard assortment of testers or samples available. On the flipside, Avon is a wonderful mail-order company should you need to return or exchange products. Unlike companies with a similar business model (Arbonne comes to mind), Avon makes the process smooth and hassle-free, with a "if you're not happy, we're not" motto that epitomizes outstanding customer service.

Avon Makeup
If you've been noticing more magazine and television ads for Avon recently, it's no accident. According to an article in the November 21, 2005, issue of The Rose Sheet, Avon's ad spending through 2008 will reach "historical heights" due in part to the brand's flat performance the past couple of years. Avon's CEO Andrea Jung admitted that the company's makeup business has struggled due to increased competition, a point we wholeheartedly agree with. Avon may be viewed as a skin-care innovator, but when it comes to makeup they're more follow-the-leaders than trail blazers. Admittedly, their foundations, powders, blush, and lipsticks have smoother, more state-of-the-art textures than ever, but with few exceptions none of them are setting a precedent that other, more innovative companies are likely to follow.
You will find some outstanding Avon makeup products to consider, but perhaps due to the sheer size of the collection there are far too many mediocre products, especially among the eyeshadows, pencils, and mascaras. Given that Avon isn't as easy to obtain as comparable products at your local drug or department store, many of the makeup items end up being a tough sell. After all, who wants to go out of their way for average products? Turning to what Avon does really well, you'll find their loose and pressed powders have amazingly silky textures and natural finishes. Their blushes are wonderful, and a few of the lipsticks and foundations are definitely worth talking about with enthusiasm. Another positive point is that Avon regularly discounts their makeup, often upwards of 50% during any given campaign (Avon's campaigns run for two weeks and the specials change each time). If you shop at the right time, the best of Avon color can be yours for less than you'd pay for most low-cost drugstore makeup.
The Beautypedia Research Team is dedicated to helping you find the absolute best products for your skin, using research-based criteria to review beauty products from an honest, balanced perspective. Each member of the team was personally trained by Paula Begoun herself.
Avon has been 'streamlining' its product offerings in recent months, so naturally, they discarded the highest-rated item in their Smooth Minerals line, the Pressed Foundation. What else is there to say? It's gone, ladies......
Finally after years of trying to find a foundation, I discovered this marvel. It has been hard to find both a formula and a color that both worked for my dry/combo skin. I only hope that Avon doesn't discontinue as there have been various products that they have carried that I have liked and they get discontinued. Lets only hope it doesn't happen this time !
Goes on quick and easy. Evens out my skin and makes me look younger, and I am over 50! Really love this makeup. Not heavy feeling or cakey. I apply with a kabuki brush.
i never buy anything without "checking with Paula", sometimes i'm looking on my app while in the store to compare. This is by far my fave foundation, i'm 49 and get compliments all the time on my skin, the care is by Paula's Choice and makeup by her recommendation. I just love it, covers nicely depending on the "hand" you use and it looks luminous. I'll buy as long as they make it, sometimes it's buy one get one half off and i stock up! Sand or medium beige in summer when i use paulas selftanner
I am 48, have dry skin, and fine lines. First, I use Paula's Choice Extra Care Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30, then a primer, and then the Avon Smooth Minerals Pressed Foundation. You can apply it for light, medium, or full coverage. I no longer have to use a luminizer either. In my opinion, it is better than the leading, well-know mineral foundation.
I love this mineral pressed powder form avon. the sand beige, in the "light-medium" color group is perfect for my medium tone. it goes on llike silk, covers well, lasts all day. i have oily, cystic acne prone skin thanks to hormone issues and this works so well for me. the price is fantastic and it's often on special.
i've tried multiple mineral products including bare escentuals and jane iredale (waaaay expensive). this is hands-down the best and no mess!!!
This looked like shiny chalk on my combination/"oilyish" medium skin. The color was perfect, but otherwise it was mask-like. I tried it 7-8 times using from a moderate amount to very little and the effect was still unnatural. It works fine for my "normal skin" daughter however.
This foundation was shiny and chalky looking on my combination/"oilyish" medium skin. One of my daughters has normal/dry skin and it works well for her.

nice vacation
Nice and comfortable vacation overall. The home is very clean, close to beach ( 5 min walk). Pleasure point was great for surfing. I will definitely come back and would recommend it for everyone who are looking for relaxing time in Santa Cruz.
Great Beach Property with lots of room
This property was fantastic for our stay with a team of 11 people! Lot's of room with space for large groups to gather as well as private bedrooms to get away for some quiet time. Excellent off street parking with garage space as well as private gated parking for several vehicles. Property was very clean and had very nice linens and ample towels in all of the three bathrooms. Kitchen was very well equiped for cooking meals and plenty of dishware for large groups. Amazing balcony space for hanging out and enjoying the wonderful views of the ocean. Close to several local coffee houses and fun dinning experience. Would highly recommend this property for family gatherings!

Vanguard Furniture buyers BEWARE!
I bought a very expensive slipcovered sofa (made by VANGUARD FURNITURE in North Carolina) from Domain Home Furnishings in Massachusetts several years ago and was told there was a "lifetime warranty" on the frame, cushions, etc. via the manufacturer's warranty. The slipcover disintegrated gradually after ONE dry cleaning (no warranty on this from Vanguard)then within one year, the seat cushions became lumpy, uneven, and uncomfortable. I'm a single adult and this sofa got limited use.
Domain went bankrupt last year but I called before this happened and they said to contact Vanguard for free cushion replacements.
I just got around to calling Vanguard and was kept on hold indefinitely so hung up, called back, got one recorded message after another, then tried again the next day. Same thing... I never got a live person and the operater was obnoxious and rude. I gave up and emailed them and never got a response.
I called again, got the same rude operator and explained I wanted a LIVE person to speak to and she connected me to a "Laurie Hoover" who said she was the supervisor. I told Laurie my cushions were falling apart and she said, "where did you buy the sofa?" and when I said "Domain," she snidely said, "we don't cover warranties if the store goes out of business." She was abrupt, rude, and OBNOXIOUS when I asked WHY Vanguard refused to honor THEIR OWN warranty just because Domain (or any store) goes out of business which should have NOTHING to do to with the sofa warranty since THEY manufactured it, she refused to answer. She refused to replace the cushions and said that was Vanguard's policy, period. I asked who the CEO was and was told his name is John Bray. Laurie then said that SHE was an owner of Vanguard also. Woe to consumers who buy a Vanguard product if SHE'S an owner!
Vanguard is making a sofa for PRESIDENT OBAMA and I hope he gets treated better if he needs warranty coverage!
I've never dealt with a company so rude and obnoxious and will NEVER buy anything made by Vanguard again. No matter where you buy a sofa or chair, please look at the manufacturer's tag and if it says "VANGUARD" avoid it like the plague. Unless you want to be treated like garbage by Laurie and crew.
Vanguard's warranty states:
Frames/Springs/Seat Cores: Vanguard guarantees frames, springs, and seat cores for the life of the product. If they do not perform as expected under "normal conditions," these items will be repaired or replaced at No Charge, once our staff has determined "liability."
Vanguard has a good reputation in the industry. Email and phone calls often don't work for many furniture manufacturers, but letters and faxes do. My suggestion as someone who deals in the trade with this sort of thing is to write a factual letter (leave all rants and history out of it) that states:
1) Your Sofa Model number
2) Appx Date of Purchase and Store Name / Location
3) Printed photo of the piece showing core collapse
4) Your name and address
5) A request for core replacements
6) Print out or retyped the warranty policy and include it.
Mail or FAX to Vanguard, Customer Service, Warranty Claims
Then see what happens. My educated guess is you will have a set of cores appear at your doorstep in appx. 3 weeks time.
I think that Domain customers should start a CLASS ACTION SUIT against Vanguard and that all consumers should know that if they buy a Vanguard piece and the store they bought if from goes out of business, that Vanguard will refuse to honor their own lifetime warranty. I'm reporting them to the Attorney General's Office and the Better Business Bureau.
There is NOTHING in their warranty language that excludes warranty due to bankrupt stores.
I doubt that the CEO gives a damn because IF he did, he'd never hire the obnoxious likes of "Laurie" and the operator who abuse customers. WHY should I have to do all this work, writing, faxing, photos, etc., just to get them to honor their warranty when they should just do it without forcing customers to waste inordinate time?
Screw them. I'll write a letter to Obama just so he knows what kind of deceptive and nasty company he bought a sofa from.
You show yourself to be unreasonable and not looking for a solution, just a way to damage a company with a good reputation. Are you a disgruntled employee with either Vanguard or Domain? I suspect so. You have no posting history here on this forum, and don't heed the advice given you. Your rant has no validity.
BTW, I have sold product to The White House. Only insiders in on the deal know of the brands, that's kept very quiet and non-commercial. If you know that as well, I suspect you are a ex-Vanguard employee with a grudge, and you just registered here the day of your first post. You are not the first ex-employee to go to the forums to try to trash their former company. There are a lot of layoffs in the furniture business right now, and if you lost your job there, I'm sorry....but this is no way to extract retribution.
The story was first printed in the Hickory Record and if you google Vanguard Furniture also. Did the label on the slipcover fabric say "dry clean only"? Could help you more if knew which type of seat cushions you had. How is the back cushions performing?
As Laurie Hoover (VP of Account Relations/stock holder) explained to GSGS, Vanguard Furniture Company does indeed provide a lifetime-warranty for all of its cataloged products. We are proud of our quality and stand behind our products.
In the case with Domain Furniture, Vanguard was one of many manufacturers that acted as an O.E.M. (original equipment manufacturer). As such, Vanguard neither designed, marketed, nor cataloged any Domain products, and our brand name and implied warranties were never used in conjunction with the sale Domain products. These products were solely DomainÂs intellectual property, and they were responsible for warranty claims.
In the course of business Domain offered their customers replacement cushions on a per charge basis. Laurie Hoover offered to replace GSGSÂs cushion at the same per cost basis that all Domain customers were offered in accordance with DomainÂs business practices. Since Vanguard never manufactured Domain cushion cores, we simply charge Domain customers our cost from DomainÂs cushion supplier.
I hope this explains the rather complicated relationship between all parties and the reasoning behind our offer to GSGS. We are willing and anxious to help GSGS solve her sofa problems.
-John A. Bray
Senior Vice President of Sales

I think that if FCVG statement is true that the problem was Domain furniutre going bankrupt and not with Vanguard. I can understand being frustrated by this predicament but it seems Vanugard is offering a solution that though not free would fix the issue you are having with those pieces.
You could also check with a local upholstery about getting cushions core and see what they would warrant them.
Good luck.
I too purchased a Vanguard sofa at Hearns Furniture in North Little Rock, AR for $5266.00 in Jan. 2010 and after less than a year the cushions have not held their shape and it is just me that utilizes them. The cushions sat nice in the store but look out a few months later. I contacted the store and was told "they are what they are", Vanguard will not take care of them and was refered to an upholstry store. I am embarrased when company comes over so I am having to get new core cushions as an expense to myself. I have purchased many sofas in the past and the cushions have never deteriorated as these have. No, I would never buy a Vanguard sofa again!
I had the SAME exact problem with a Vanguard sofa bought from Domain! The seat cushions were a lumpy mess after about a year and my slipcover also frayed and became a disaster after two dry cleanings (which is the manufacturer's recommendation, dry clean only).
I also called Vanguard and was treated like SHITTT and was abruptly told they would NOT replace the seat cushions for free and would charge over $100 for each cushion plus shipping.
Then I read the post from the CEO who claims they didn't make the seat cushions but he rfuses to state who actually made them.
So what do we have here, a sofa manufactured by many different parties? I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH GARBAGE! They made the seat cushions and maybe farmed out the slipcover.
WHO makes a sofa and doesn't make the seat cushions also? Please tell me some examples of this, Mr. A-hole CEO?
So no one is responsible for the cushions?
Vanguard is a well known scamming scum bag company who refuses to honor their "warranties" and they should be sued via class action. Bunch of rude, obnoxious, a-holes.
I have said numerous times on this forum that upholstery manufactures do not make the filling that is in your seat or back cushions - pillows of your sofas or chairs. They purchase the cushion fills from various fabricators. These fabricators buy blocks of various types of foam from foam suppliers/pourers. Then they cut - sew - glue - and assemble the cushions per each upholstery manufacturers specifications.
I have also said that you should never buy upholstery that does not have the actual manufacturer name on the sofa or chair etc. You also should call the manufacturer to check that the retailer is a authorized retailer of their products. Ask the manufacturer to give clear details of the warranty and how any claims will be handled.
Doing this will help you avoid buyers remorse and warranty issues.
I am sorry you did not have a good experience with Vanguard but I will tell you as a rule Vanguard produces a very high quality product and quite frankly they make one of the best products in the industry. They do use hardwood plywood frames and some are stick built but they also use a very good spring system. Their fabric selection is massive and oustanding.
Perhaps Domain and Herns were trying to have a look and feel and specfied a cushion that was inappropriate.
Try reaching out to Vanguard again and explain your concerns. Try contacting Mr. Bray above I am sure he will help you.

Terps keep rolling, face Virginia in final
BALTIMORE -- Maryland certainly took advantage of playing in its own back yard.
Niko Amato made 13 saves to anchor a suffocating defense, and the unseeded Terps rode the support of a partisan crowd of 44,039 to a 9-4 victory over fifth-seeded Duke on Saturday night to earn a spot in the NCAA men's lacrosse championship game.
More from ESPN.com
Neither Virginia nor Maryland enjoyed an easy season. But in facing battles, both teams showed a resiliency that has them playing for an NCAA championship, writes Dana O'Neil. Story
Maryland will play Virginia for the title Monday.
Amato, a redshirt freshman, made seven saves in the first half to stake the Terrapins to a 5-2 lead. He got great support from defenders Max Schmidt, Brett Schmidt and Ryder Bohlander, which held Duke scoreless for about 18 minutes in the first half and 22 in the second half.
"Our long poles are big, physical and strong. They pushed out on Duke, got sticks on their hand and let me see the type of shots I'm comfortable with stopping," Amato said.
Grant Catalino scored three goals for Maryland (13-4), which advanced to the finals for the first time since 1998. Midfielder Joe Cummings had two goals and an assist for the Terrapins, who are seeking to capture their first national championship since 1975.
"It was unbelievable to see so much red in the stands supporting us," Catalino said. "Every time we made a big play, the crowd went wild. I still have chills running down my spine."
Maryland has lost in the finals five times since winning its last title. The Terps will try to end that slide against Virginia, which beat sixth-seeded Denver 14-8 in the first semifinal.
The Terrapins won the regular-season meeting against Virginia, 12-7.
"This is what we've worked so hard all year for, but our mission is not over yet," Amato said. "We have a couple hours to celebrate and then we have to refocus."
Curtis Holmes scored immediately after winning a faceoff to highlight a second quarter in which Maryland built a 3-1 lead. Zach Howell's goal at the 9:46 mark of the third quarter cut the deficit to 5-3, but the Blue Devils didn't score again until the closing minutes.
"Maryland was just too physical, too strong and too athletic," Duke coach John Danowski said. "We weren't poised enough to be successful today."
Catalino had two goals as Maryland scored four straight during Duke's second half drought and built a 9-3 lead. Holmes helped the Terps control possession by winning 11 of 17 faceoffs.
Dan Wigrizer made nine saves for Duke (14-6), which was denied in its bid to repeat as national champions.

A great successor and an amazing game in its own right...
Story - 9/10 - Your spaceship gets struck by a lightning bolt and now you have landed on Aether. You find out that the Galactic Federal Troopers are all dead and now you must find and rescue the Luminoth. The story adds much more depth than the original Prime and makes things more interesting. I find that the story does not exactly follow up to the original Prime, but it offers up something new to the action.
Gameplay - 10/10 - The gameplay has not changed since the original, but there has been some minor tweaks. When you start out in the game, you have some items with you. Then, they all get lost except for the Morph Ball. Yeah, you can't lose the Morph Ball in the game. You have to get some of your items back by facing guardians that have these items. Some of the items are still there that were in the original. Gone are the Wave, Ice, and Plasma beams in the game. There are new beams called the Light, Dark, and Annihilator beams which take effect on many enemies throughout the game. There are even charge combos in the game which take massive damage to enemies. Each beam/missile/bomb can open up a different kind of door in the game. Instead of having unlimited ammo, you have limited ammo with the Light and Dark beams. You can get Light/Dark ammunition if you shoot any enemy with a different kind of beam. If you shoot the enemy with the Light beam, you get Dark ammunition. If you shoot the enemy with the Dark beam, you get Light ammunition. There is still the Charge beam, though. The Morph Ball is still there along with the Grapple Beam, Space Jump Boots, Spider Ball, Power Bombs, and the Scan Visor as well. There are two new visors called the Light and Echo visors which are useful in the game. I find the gameplay challenging and much longer than the first one. Basically, there are more Morph Ball puzzles in the game to make the gameplay even harder. The backtracking in the game is still there, but it doesn't mean that it's a bad thing. You'll have to backtrack to every place once you find a new item. It's not a huge impact, really. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is a fun experience. It will not frustrate you.
Graphics - 8/10 - Well.....the graphics in this game changed a bit. There are new areas that have shiny environments in the game that aren't too blurry. Yeah, that's pretty much said with the graphics.
Music - 10/10 - Wow! The music in this game has left me yearning for more. There is new techno music in some areas that add up to the game's personality. There is also a new Super Metroid remix in the game that is from the Brinstar/Maridia area that is also cool. The music is definitely addicting to hear, especially in the boss battles. Hats off for making great music, Retro.
Replay Value - 9/10 - You will be playing this game again after you have finished it. If you want to get 100% in the game, you have to scan and collect every item as possible. The game is about +15 hours long and it is addicting once you get into it.
Multiplayer - 8/10 - This is probably the game's weakest point. The multiplayer can let you have up to four players as possible. Even though it's the Gamecube, there is no online play or LAN support as you expected. You can play in a team deathmatch and other kinds of modes as well.
Overall - 9/10 - This will be a great game to add to your collection. You won't be disappointed by the fact Retro has done a great job with it. There is still the Image Gallery with new pictures in the game. There is also a Hard mode for making the game even tougher. If there was a third sequel, it will have you leaving high expectations of what it will be like. Nintendo and Retro has done a good job.

How to Make Paper Mache Bowls
Make these simple gold bowls as a catch-all container that will look great in your entryway.
By: Chelsea Costa
Materials Needed:
- newspaper
- ModPodge
- balloons
- plastic cups
- foam brush
- scissors
- craft paint
- liquid gilding
Prepare Materials
Cut newspaper into 1x3-inch strips. Blow up a few balloons, varying the size of each one to make a set of bowls.
Layer Newspaper
Paint a layer of ModPodge on the end of a balloon. Apply strips of newspaper one by one, ensuring they soak up glue as you apply. Once you have a base layer, apply another layer of ModPodge, and place a layer of newspaper strips on top. Continue to repeat these steps until you have about five to six layers of paper covering all areas of your bowl.
Let Bowls Set
Place balloons on empty cups to dry, making sure they're stable (image 1). Allow your balloons to set and dry thoroughly, about 24 hours. Once dry, gently pop the balloons and pull away from the bowls (image 2).
Trim and Paint
Trim the uneven edges around the top of the bowls (image 1). Flip the bowls upside-down and apply craft paint, applying multiple coats if necessary. Allow to dry (image 2). Flip back over and paint the inside of the bowls with liquid gilding (image 3). Leave for about a day to completely dry and cure (image 4).
Add Items
Fill the bowls with catch-all items or jewelry.

We arrived with another party-- both traveling in motorhomes-- during a strong rainstorm. Most sites were flooded and the power/water/sewer connections were underwater. Once the rain stopped, we attempted to hook up. Of the six sites available, only one had useable power-- 30 amp only and only one site had a functioning sewer connection (all the rest were filled with dirt and totally plugged up). The other motorhome traveling with us hooked up their sewer and water at one site and their 30 amp power at another site. We dry camped for the night and then we both left in the morning (although we had planned to stay for three nights originally). The lady in the office was very nice and only charged us $10 to dry camp for the night. We camped here in a 40 foot motorhome. We will not return. FYI: The entire campground is for sale and the sign has it listed at $195K. We camped at Chateau Aux Arc RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo

This is a very small park owned by one of the local wineries, but it's a mile or so from the tasting room. It's very convenient to the heart of Arkansas wine country. This is a no frills, small park but the utilities work fine and it's convenient to I-40. The sites and roads are gravel but they're level in an otherwise very hilly area. All 12 sites are identical pull through sites, plenty long enough for our 40' RV. No shade, no amenities, just well taken care of and convenient.

Too Close for Comfort
I've got my work cut out for me, I'll say that. Out of 200 pots, these are some of the most successful. None of my packets contained more than 100 seeds, lots were 25 or less.
Next time I'll probably ease up, let them breathe.
Titanopsis primosii
Tanquana prismatica
Rhombophyllum dolabriforme (seed from my plant)
Lithops leslei C28
Lithops broomfieldii 'Straussberg'
Jensenobotrya lossowiana
Glottiphyllum pygmaeum (seed from my plant)
Glottiphyllum nelii (with burnt noses)
Cheiridopsis peculiaris
Argyroderma fissum
Anacampseros rufescens (seed from my plant, 6 months old)
Aloinopsis orpenii
Thanks for stopping by!
Amazing! You've got them coming out of your ears!! Definitely have your work cut out for you when it comes time to transplant.
Beautiful photography and colors.
I haven't ventured into the realm of seed sowing just yet but this just looks like so much fun. I just collected seed from my Frailea mammifera, maybe I'll give it a go.
What are your germination methods? (if you don't mind revealing your secrets)
This is great...I ordered seeds also. I think maybe a couple hundred.waiting until the weather gets alittle warmer to start them.. I hope I have as much luck with mine as you have.between you and Rian, I am venturing into another zone.thanks for sharing
Hey everybody! Thanks for all the responses. I'm always glad to share progress, would do it more if I had more time.
I'm more of an alpaca guy, myself. They come in different colors.
I did a bunch of research in the months leading up to sowing. The best info I can recommend is from Steven Hammer which I will link below. I also watched some Youtube videos showing people planting seeds, not in English.
My soil mix contains a high quality seed-starter mix, lots of volcanic pumice, coco peat, bagged cactus soil and loamy topsoil from the side of my house.
In the end, I mixed my soil by instinct. I know people are against peat but I think it's ok for germination. When I transplant, my mix will change. I had limited time so I skipped the sterilization, which I regret. Lots of grass seeds also germinated along with quite a few worm eggs. I had to use an insecticide. I also kept the pots a little too moist and algae developed so I've now used fungicide and algaecide on everything. Luckily, they all made it through. Maybe you can learn from these mistakes.
When sowing, after I filled the pot and lightly tamped the soil flat, I just spread out the seeds on top and covered them with horticultural sand.
I happen to live in a prime location for these plants so I don't have to worry about cold weather. My greenhouse is 40% shade with full airflow.
Good luck with those seeds, it's been a great experience so far. Mr Brack at Mesa told me the ideal time for planting is early September for most Mesembs. If you're growing indoors, that may not matter.
Here is a link that might be useful: Meet My Future Self
Just found this post. Sooooo very cute those little baby seedlings are. It has been some time now since this post. So do you have an update of how they look now. I googled Cheiridopsis peculiaris to find this post. I just purchased one and was looking for info on it. Looks like the seed did well to sprout for you. Did these guys make it?
Wow! Thanks Reggieee! eeee! I forgot all about this. Most of these are the exact seedlings I attacked first when re-potting. I have lots of progress to report. I appreciate you bringing this thread back because it's a great opportunity to show 14 months of growth. I'll go shoot new photos tomorrow. For now, here's a photo of my best C. peculiaris about 1 month ago. I've seen some very nice ones in maturity.
Super-duper. Can't wait to see the shots. I am a chicken to try seeds even though I have some cono seeds waiting for me to sow. So I will live and learn off of you vicariously. :-) But I REALLY do want to do this. It just seems like I don't have something (the right secret mix) that I need or that it's the wrong time of the year or......etc. Sheesh. I need to get my butt in gear.
Okay, I'm back with some updates. I think my plants got a slow start in my first year sowing seeds. My second year seedlings are already showing almost double progress. Anyway, let's just jump right in.
Titanopsis primosii
Tanquana prismatica
Rhombophyllum dolabriforme
Lithops leslei C28
Lithops broomfieldii Straussberg - It looks like I lost a few of these, probably during my struggles with algae and grubs.
Jensenobotrya lossowiana
Glottiphyllum pygmaeum
Glottiphyllum neilii
Cheiridopsis peculiaris
Argyroderma fissum
Anacampseros rufescens grown in sun
Anacampseros rufescens grown in partial sun
Aloinopsis orpenii
Well, it's progress but not all of it is a prime example. I had many learning experiences/setbacks in my first year. The Jensenobotrya, however, is a vigorous, thirsty, fun plant to grow. I'm thinking they'll do fine as an outdoor semi-shade plant. The only problem is, they don't ship well.
Thanks for bringing this thread back, Reggie:)
Let me put it like this, you have 2 plants, precisely the same, looking the same - one you grew from seed the other you bought, both flower, which is the more special? There is another great and unequalled advantage, you see variations, normally not available from a store bought plant, so more understanding and you learn much more about how to grow them this way! I think both of us can really recommend doing this for its value.
Hey! Really nice to hear from you, Norma! You are an inspiration.
Thanks Reggie, I did sow lots of Conos my first year. I was largely unsuccessful. Out of... let me get out the old seed list... out of 57 species/varieties sown including Ophthalmophyllum... let me consult the plant list... I have 36 species that made it. 21 of those only produced 1 or 2 plants, not enough for a good comparison or good breeding. 15 of them are in fair numbers but only about 5/57 are a real success. I had even worse results with Dinteranthus. Out of 600 seeds sown I only have 2 seedlings to show for it. Oh well. I expect to have better results with them this year. I'll try to post something about Cono seedlings later this week if I can.
Rian, this year is going to be the year we conquer Dinteranthus!

Monsters and Critics' Valentine's Day 2013 best gifts to consider include www.Obaz.com most unusual pink gift for the ladies: A Mace Gun!
So, I was prowling on the internet looking for strange or unique Valentine's gifts on Obaz.com, my new go-to online shopping site, and I discovered the absolute best out of the box, 'what the hell were you thinking?' gift for ferocious females to celebrate or ward off unrequested love: A hot pink mace gun!
Because nothing says I Love You better to gun loving Americans than a hot pink mace gun. Let's say that all together… Hot. Pink. Mace. Gun.
Four words that should never go together but now that they do, I can't stop saying it! I guarantee that you are cursing me while it's repeating in a loop in your mind… hotpinkmacegun, hotpinkmacegun, hotpinkmacegun like when you go on It's a Small World at Disneyland and you can't get that song out of your head.
But I digress… The Hot Pink Mace Gun is the brainchild of MACE who have been manufacturing the defense spray since 1970.
This "piece" has a thumb lock safety and a trigger activated LED light to "target and distract attackers in complete darkness"… I have to think that a chick packing a hot pink mace gun will be distraction enough for most people, but then again I've never tried to attack a stranger on a dark street.
The gun also has a distance of up to 20 feet so you don't have to be within the danger zone of an attack to set this off.
Having never used a Mace gun, I was thrilled they included a canister filled with water to test it out since I couldn't find any volunteers to be my attacker guinea pigs using the real pepper spray. Yes, they are all wimps! The gun was easy to use and matched my nail polish plus it's relatively light weight and can easily fit in your purse or… your holster?
Seriously, this is a nifty gift idea for college students or single women or people who walk their dogs late at night.
So, for the lady who has everything, get her a Hot Pink Mace Gun… I'm pretty sure she won't have that in her closet!
The Mace gun also comes in white or black, but that isn't nearly as cool as hot pink and costs $55.00 on www.obaz.com (FYI, I saw it on other sites for up to $89.00)

A Red Squirrel going Grey?
Sorry, the image is blurry, has to shoot it from inside house, through the window. He is grey all the way down his back to the base of his tail. Looks like a squirrel in opossum cape and mask. Have you seen anything like this?
He's a mystery. In the Spring we spotted him about a block away. Noticed that the folks who moved into that house are away. Guess he goes where the bird seed flows. Haven't seen him this weekend, probably other feeders or I just was out when he dropped in. Thanks for taking a look....c
There are three of these squirrels around my mom's house in Kansas. One is very similar to the one you showed with a white strip from his head all the way down to his tail. There are also two others that have white spots on their backs. They have been hanging around her yard for several years. I tried to find information on them online, but didn't find anything. She did say that the other squirrels didn't treat them any different, because of their coloring. Got to love my 93 year old mom!
Strange ... very strange. Yes, it does look like he's wearing Possum-man's cape. Or a really bad hairpiece.
My guess would be it's a variation of the gene that controls the color of the hairs ... what is normally the reddish pigment is absent, so you have the black parts still there, making the whole thing look greyish. But normally that will affect the whole body.
But I'm not a wildlife biologist. Maybe they have a name for this.
Looking as some discussions of squirrel genetics ... the possumback squirrels seem to be the inverse of the "Brevard white squirrels".
Your squirrels are doing it in reverse, with the melanin deficiency restricted to the guard hairs that are normally black-tipped in the red squirrel.
It's a beautiful animal and apparently a rare color variation that amazingly showed up in two places many miles from each other. I'm glad I got to see photos of it.
Only reply so far ....
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Web
Roselee thank you for this link. Seems odd that what is described as an apparently random pattern is the same pattern in these two squirrel images. Nature is magical smiling..... BTW Cheeky the parakeet never did let me catch him and I have not seen him for 2 weeks now. Deep sigh. Fortunately I have not seen any feathers. Hope he went with a flock of grackles to the mall.
Thanks for finding this information. I do think that is exactly what the squirrels have. Of the three that my mom had, only one had the full back marking and the other two were spotted white. We thought they were probably from the same litter. I looked for pictures of the spotted ones, but I must have not taken any. It is amazing that the two squirrels, 350 miles apart would have the same markings. Thanks again for solving this mystery.
PkPonder suggested genetic reduced pigmentation, leucism, from the very start. It was just nice to get some verification that it wasn't an exotic pet that escaped. Thank you lazygardens for your input also.

Annuity Fraud Lawsuit document sample
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA If you purchased an annuity issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights. A federal court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. • Linda Mooney and Lieselotte Thorpe, two purchasers of annuities issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America ("Allianz") have sued Allianz, alleging violation of the Minnesota Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act and unjust enrichment. • The Court has allowed the lawsuit to be a class action on behalf of all individuals who from February 9, 2000 to May 10, 2007 purchased one of the following annuities from Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America: [Accumulator] Bonus Maxxx, [Accumulator] Bonus Maxxx Elite, BonusDex, BonusDex Elite, 10% Bonus PowerDex Elite, MasterDex 10, and Infinidex 10 (The "Two-Tiered Bonus Annuities"). No other annuities are included in this lawsuit. Specifically excluded from the Class are all California residents 65 years or older who are being represented in a case in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. • The Court has not decided whether Allianz did anything wrong. There is no money available now, and no guarantee there will be. However, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now: Y YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS LAWSUIT: Stay in this lawsuit. Await the outcome. Give up certain rights. By doing nothing, you keep the possibility of getting DO NOTHING money or benefits that may come from a trial or a settlement. But you give up any rights to sue or maintain any other legal action against Allianz separately about the same legal claims in this lawsuit. Get out of this lawsuit. Get no benefits from it. Keep rights. ASK TO BE If you ask to be excluded and money or benefits are later awarded, you will not share in those. But you keep EXCLUDED any rights to sue or maintain any other legal action against Allianz separately about the same legal claims in this lawsuit. • Your options are explained in this notice. To be excluded, you must act before January 31, 2009. • The class must prove the claims against Allianz at a trial on a date set by the Court. If money or benefits are obtained from Allianz, you will be notified about how to ask for a share. • Any questions? Read on and visit www.allianzannuitylitigation.com. QUESTIONS? VISIT ALLIANZANNUITYLITIGATION.COM If you start your own lawsuit or other legal action against Allianz after you exclude yourself, you'll have to hire and pay your own lawyer for that lawsuit, and you'll have to prove your claims. If you do exclude yourself so you can start or continue your own lawsuit against Allianz, you should talk to your own lawyer soon, because your claims may be subject to a statute of limitations. 16. How do I ask the Court to exclude me from the Class? To ask to be excluded, you must send an "Exclusion Request" in the form of a letter sent by mail, stating that you want to be excluded from Mooney, et al. v. Allianz Life Insurance Co. Be sure to include your name and address, and sign the letter. You must mail your Exclusion Request postmarked by January 31, 2009, to: In re Allianz Two-Tiered Bonus Annuity Litigation EXCLUSIONS c/o Analytics Incorporated P.O. Box 2005 Chanhassen, MN 55317-2005 You may also get an Exclusion Request form at the website, www.allianzannuitylitigation.com. THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU 17. Do I have a lawyer in this case? The Court decided that the law firms of The Nygaard Law Firm, of Leawood, Kansas, Page Perry, LLC, of Atlanta, Georgia, and Chestnut & Cambronne, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, are qualified to represent you and all Class Members. Together the law firms are called "Class Counsel." They are experienced in handling similar cases. More information about these law firms, their practices, and their lawyers' experience is available at www.nygaardlaw.com, www.pageperry.com, and www.chestnutcambronne.com. 18. Should I get my own lawyer? You do not need to hire your own lawyer because Class Counsel is working on your behalf. But, if you want your own lawyer, you will have to pay that lawyer. For example, you can ask him or her to appear in Court for you if you want someone other than Class Counsel to speak for you. 19. How will the lawyers be paid? If Class Counsel obtain money or benefits for the Class, they will ask the Court for fees and expenses. You will not have to pay these fees and expenses. If the Court grants Class Counsels' request, the fees and expenses would be either deducted from any money obtained for the Class or paid separately by Allianz. THE TRIAL The Court has not yet scheduled a trial to decide who is right in this case. 20. How and when will the Court decide who is right? As long as the case isn't resolved by a settlement or otherwise, Class Counsel will have to prove Plaintiffs' claims at a trial. The Court has ordered that the parties be ready for trial by January 1, 2009, in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, 202 U.S. Courthouse, 300 South 4th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415. During the trial, a Jury or the Judge will hear all of the evidence to help them reach a decision about whether Plaintiffs or Defendant are right about the claims in the lawsuit. There is no guarantee that Plaintiffs will win, or that they will get any money for the Class. QUESTIONS? VISIT ALLIANZANNUITYLITIGATION.COM 6 Untitled-1 1 11/21/08 4:29:12 PM

What is the best and easiest way to treat root rot?
I bought an Oro Blanco grapefruit back in the spring and after watching it defoliate, I thought it was a goner. I got another one wich is flourishing now. It is starting to put out new growth and I am hoping for flowers since the original tree aborted 3/4 of them and then ones that hung on, were deformed. I have saved the original tree but I don't think it will be long before it is in trouble again. I am going Monday to buy a citrus mix that is made by a local nursery that I tust. I bought my Improved Meyer lemon tree from this nursery and it came in there mix which I have checked all summer and I have been very happy with how well it dries out. That tree is over 6ft tall, and during our hot spells, I would have to water every two days or sometimes every day.
Can anyone tell me how to treat root rot on my Oro? I know with house plants you use sterilized pruners and remove the dead/decaying roots, and then do I apply something to them to stop it from rotting until the root heals over? I also know that you are supposed to give them a break from water right? Any help would be great!
Hey buddy...
There is no real easy way...It all takes effort. But here is a try.:-)
You could mix a solution of 20% chlorine bleach and 80% water, or 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. Try and cut off all the dead and brown roots..
Wash the roots before repotting. The bleach will kill the bacteria that is attacking your roots. If you treat the roots soon enough, you can save the plant.
If you prefer the lazy way, mix a solution of chlorine each as noted above and water the plant. you can water heavily to soak the soil and roots with the bleach solution. Then hold off on watering until you are sure the root ball has dried using our wooden dowel method..
You can also use hydrogen peroxide..I have done that too..
Make sure you keep any plant that has been treated out of the sun until the leaves start looking like they are healthy..
Take a look at this plant I treated 2 months ago and it is just starting to look better, after loosing half it's mass...Thank God I saved it. Just waiting for the new growth and for the leaves to start looking green again and hydrate in more sun..
What the plant is suppose to look like..
@andrew78 ..Although I don't know how effective this technique works. I recall reading on another site, the suggestion on using a deluded anti-bacterial hand soap solution to wash the roots.
You may also consider doing some top punning to help relieve the stress, depending on the amount of root loss I would consider 1/3 removal.
I also suggest changing out the soil mix, but to something that offers good aeration, reduce the watering to a minimum.
Keep it shaded and if possible give it bottom heat.

Sister Age (Google eBook)
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Feb 16, 2011 - Biography & Autobiography - 256 pages
In these fifteen remarkable stories, M.F.K. Fisher, one of the most admired writers of our time, embraces age as St. Francis welcomed Brother Pain. With a saint to guide us, she writes in her Foreword, perhaps we can accept in a loving way "the inevitable visits of a possibly nagging harpy like Sister Age" But in the stories, it is the human strength in the unavoidable encounter with the end of life that Mrs. Fisher dramatizes so powerfully. Other themes -- the importance of witnessing death, the marvelous resilience of the old, the passing of vanity -- are all explored with insight, sympathy and, often, a sly wit.

ghost pepper ripening
how long does it take for a ghost pepper from start to finsh take to turn red?
Once they start to turn they are fairly quick. What takes time with Bhuts is how long it takes for the plant to mature from seed. As with most Chinense varieties, they are slow to set their first fruit, but are very productive once they get going, fruits grow and ripen fairly quickly.
Hi Guys,
I live in Australia and I'm attempting to grow a ghost pepper plant. There is plenty of heat here so that isn't a problem. I did have a problem with blossoms falling off for a while until I asked a green thumb friend. He suggested I water it with a small amount of liquid fertiliser a few times a week, which I did and that fixed that problem. I do however read with interest the time it takes for the fruit to turn from green to red. My plant has a heap of fruit on it and they have been green for about a month. There is no sign of red/orange yet. I have never seen a ghost plant much less fruit here and I look forward to seeing if they are as hot as all reports.
You will come out one day soon and find one or two with a dash or orange on them. Then within a couple days, great numbers of them will start turning red. Not long after that, you will have all the ripe ghost peppers you and your friends can handle. It is just a waiting game now as long as you still have plenty of growing season left down under.
Wow, you guys have some fast Ghost peppers.
I just checked my pics from a year ago...August 15th I have a green Ghost - September 21st I have a ripe Ghost. As the others have mentioned, once the color change begins, it does happen rapidly (about a week or so).
Haha! I know! Weird, right? Is it me, or does it look like a Halloween decoration of a Ghost, reclining, with his arm out, and the stem is like a witch's hat on his head?! I swear, there's a face on it from those "Scream" movies... Ha! (Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread)

Jeffords Concerned Over Test Tire Burn Application
By Pat Bradley
Washington, DC – Vermont Senator James Jeffords has written to New York Governor George Pataki expressing his concerns over International Paper's permit application to conduct a test burn of tire-derived fuel at its Ticonderoga plant. Jeffords says he doesn't want Vermonters who live downwind of the plant to be used as "guinea pigs". WAMC's North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley has more
