Unknown Citrus Budding
We purchased some really neglected property last year, and cleared out a ton of weeds, vines, and think we finally have the irrigation figured out.
We took one dying orange tree (no clue what kind) out of a big pot and planted it next to a large vine covered surprise lemon (no clue what kind). The lemon blossomed in June, when it was freed from the vines, and had gazillions of very small (1"), good tasting, but seedy lemons. It is now blossoming at the correct time, and I'm sure it will produce great lemons. The orange did nothing but grow last year, and now it has blooms.
Next to the Bearss Lime was a mystery tree. Shorter, like 4' tall, and citrus, but no fruit. We fertilized and watered it, and it now has blooms. I tasted a leaf. It's not a lemon or a lime. Let the fun begin! I don't think it's a grapefruit either. Would anyone plant two oranges of the same variety? Fingers crossed it's a blood orange!
Once the fruit appears, I'll take photos for ID. It's just fun living in this place with so many cool discoveries!
OK! Tomorrow I'll take photos of all of them. Let the fun begin, but we'll start with this one next to the Bearss (tag on, so we knew).
That Bearss is so prolific! The buds on the mystery citrus have not opened, so the photos will only show buds.
The little tree got a serious infestation of leaf miners, but we hit it with Bayer Merit today. Stay tuned. Photos to follow!

Rocky Mountain National Park
Friday August 1, 2014
Non-Travel Day
This morning we headed west on US Rt. 34 to the town of Estes Park and the entrance to the "Rocky Mountain National Park". We continued west on the "Trail Ridge Road" that rose through the pine forest up to over 11,500 feet and the tree line, where the road went over the barren tundra. There are plants here on the tundra that can only be found in 2 other ...

... prices you expect a bathroom with lights at night. They remembered to put a change machine in the bathroom so you can pay for your shower, but forgot hand soap. Even outhouses in the middle of the national forests have hand sanitizer. Soap is far too expensive for Colorado State Parks. Earlier in the day we passed an overlook with picnic tables, a wayside built by the BLM but Colo State Parks claimed the right to charge $7 just to drive to a wayside. Ridiculous. I hate ...

The wind stopped blowing when we got back. After dinner we had a nice walk around the park. Very nice grounds, but sites only have electrical so we had to fill up the water tanks and will have to use the trailer dump before we leave.

These stools look amazing and look fantastic in my apartment, however the wood for the seats is a very very soft wood and has very rough edges. I've given them a light sanding and a couple of coats of poly, but I'm still afraid that they could snag someones clothes. I may have to go back and do a little more sanding. All in all still a great buy, but buyer beware that you may have to do a little work to make the seats totally usable.
This product was poor quality for the price. Popular style, but very cheaply made.
I thought this would have more weight to it. It has fallen over when someone stands up from it and walks away! Very lightweight, cheap materials, not worth the money, by any means! Sending back, if possible.
I bought this to coordinate with a Williams Sonoma metal and wood kitchen island in a small condo kitchen. It takes up little floor space and is easily moved around if you put felt pads on the feet. It will tip if you are not careful when sitting on it, so a 4 legged stool is better if you are not so stable. I do not recommend this for use with children, the elderly and anyone with slow reflexes. The wood seat is a little rough mostly in appearance . it does not snag my clothing. Seat adjusts fine, no squeaking.
These are great barstools and have the rugged hnad made look we were after. The adjusting screws work as they should and the seat is comfortable - the right size.
I love this item. I use it in my kitchen, and love the fact that it is adjustable. I am disabled and can't stand for any length of time. I move it from the stove to the sink, to the counter. It looks great and is comfortable.
loved these stools, fit perfectly with my décor, everyone asked where I got them
I have found the Lucian Fir Top Adjustable Bar stool to be a great addition to my kitchen. I needed two and both have worked out fine. They arrived in time alloted and look great. The seat is just fine and I found no problem with the smoothness and the seat is of a balanced size. The metal/wood combination fits in with everything else. I just wish that I could have purchased the second one for the same price. All in all, I have found a fine product for myself. Standing is difficult and my balance is off so I must sit and with the adjustable seat that works very well, the height I need is easy to achieve. I would advise people to always read carefully any review, good through bad and make a more educated decision. I read other's reviews and I ordered and I am completely satisfied. Thanks for the opportunity to give my opinion.
These three legged stools tip over quite easily. In the first week of having them, we've had several incidents with both our 6 yr old daughter and a 62 year old grandma - where the stool slipped out from underneath them. These are not stable stools, and would highly recommend getting a 4 legged stool.
I like these barstools. The seat is much wider than I expected so very comfortable even with being hard wood. I wish they were finished more with additional sanding and poly, but I can do it. They are fine as is and I may never get around to it. No splinters.

""World is nothing but a weird cluster of sperms in an permanent state of suspended animation filled with confusion,doubts and chaos"."
"There were a whole bunch of animal rescue groups out there. They were great. Once we told them there were dogs, they were there within a couple of hours."
"Animals mind their own business. And death snatches them away just like that. Who do they have to thank? Humans. We are the ones that kill them. People wonder why so many deaths are because of animals. It's simply because they want to live, for as long as possible. And for life, well us humans know better than anyone that we'd do whatever it takes to stay alive for as long as possible. So what do we do to rectify this? Leave them alone. Simple, right?"
"Working here, you fall in love with the animals and are always tempted to bring them home. But at our house, we've reached our limit."

Been busy with different kind of plants
miclino(5)June 8, 2014
Have not posted here at all this year. Been busy with a completely different kind of plant environment. Setup a heavily planted aquarium and finally have it sort of settling. Had an unexpected surprise. Never expected aquatic flowers but here they are....its an anubia flower.
That being said, my outdoor beds are not neglected and will post some pics later.
Michaela .:. thegarden@902 .:. (Zone 5b - Iowa)
Hi there. :o) I am also working on a planted tank although I have to say I don't know much yet.
I bought a light for planted tanks and have been purchasing plants at petsmart. So far so good. They're really growing and I've had some flowers but mine were not very pretty.
Whats your favorite that you are growing? I just love my banana plant. It has so much character.

quote:NEW YORK (AP) Federal regulators are letting cable companies scramble all their TV signals, closing a loophole that lets many households watch basic cable channels for free.The Federal Communications Commission voted Friday to lift a ban on encryption of basic cable signals, saying it will reduce the number of visits by cable technicians to disconnect service and reduce cable theft.The change will also affect households that pay for TV but have some sets hooked up directly to cable, without set-top boxes. They will need to get boxes for those sets.
are you sure? i think i read somewhere that they can encrypt analog channels as well
Maybe you don't need 8 TV's in your house....?
Looks like TWC RGV knew ahead of time what the verdict was gonna be. I wonder how much longer analog channels will be around.
...at same time their bad devices cause noise in the system that affects entire node/hub. With this change there will be less people trying to hook up their devices...
1 recommendation
By the way Suit Up Time Warner Cable will disconnect the lines when their is no active service at that address...
Just one more reason for them to keep gouging US.
Suit Up by the way. encrypting service will deter cable theft because they are no longer able to receive free service's.
To say that people will just tamper to be malicious and disrupt service I have yet to see a case for someone to do it just to disrupt service or to be malicious.
Outages that occur that way are people trying to get free cable. That will end when they plug in their tv and it does not work anymore.
Not to mention most people will wait since Time Warner cable still offers next day installations and sometimes they have an all day installation as well the same day if they are offering it.
They don't care what they damage, they just want their TV.
Suit up to respond that they can still steal internet is laughable at best. It would take a hacker to hack the modem then they would have to clone an active mac address to the modem he hacked. To be able to get free internet. It would be easier to uncap the modem than to get free internet. Then the cable company's computer system should flag any duplicate mac address which is used to identify and activate internet service. It would immediately lock it out of the system meaning no more free internet for that mac address.
Malicious damage gets the police involved for reports and insurance purposes.Cable theft normally doesn't.

The Amityville Horror(1979)
George and Kathy Lutz, a newly married couple with three children from Kathy's previous marriage, purchase a large house in Amityville, New York, where a multiple murder took place the year before. Strange things happen as soon as they move in. Father Delaney, Kathy's friend and priest, is stricken ill when he tries to bless the house, and he becomes convinced that Kathy and her family are in danger. The policeman who investigated the original murders notices an odd resemblance between George Lutz and the man convicted of those crimes. Based on a true story.

The Amityville Horror Blu-ray Review
For God's Sake, Get a Better Script!
Reviewed by Michael Reuben, August 22, 2011
The original 1979 Amityville Horror is remembered with great affection by many who shrieked as kids when they snuck into an R-rated showing. I mean no disrespect to their nostalgia when I say that it's a dreadful film. Originally developed as a TV movie, the film is a heavily fictionalized adaptation of the Jay Anson book recounting the purportedly true tale of the Lutz family, who bought a haunted house on Long Island and fled after less than a month's residence. The film was a box office success, mostly because of the much ballyhooed (and overstated) "true life" background. It also probably didn't hurt that the trailer and ad campaign exploited the Catholic iconography that so effectively sold horror films like The Exorcist and The Omen. Today the best one can say of The Amityville Horror is that it's full of missed opportunities. After all, if you're going to embellish the story for artistic purposes -- or even just for good old-fashioned scare-'em-out-of-their-seat entertainment -- why not do it well? The following year saw the release of Kubrick's The Shining, which also featured a building that bled from its walls, was haunted by prior events and hosted a paranormal world. That edifice would also inspire a father to attack his family with an axe, memorably hacking through a locked door to reach them. Kubrick's scenes have became iconic, but Amityville's are laughable, because the story is too incoherent to support them. Especially today, audiences require more than primitive physical effects and the howling of a desperate priest.
The film's best scenes occur near the beginning. In the opening, claps of thunder alternate with shotgun blasts as an entire family is murdered in a house in Amityville, Long Island, during a torrential downpour. A year later, a real estate broker, Mrs. Townsend (Ida Straus, the clock tower lady in Back to the Future), is showing the empty home to George and Kathy Lutz (James Brolin, mountain-man hairy, and Margot Kidder, dressed like a Catholic schoolgirl). The Lutzes are newlyweds, but it's Kathy's second marriage, and she has three kids. The absence of the children's father is never explained; indeed, he's never even mentioned. The house is being offered at a huge discount because of its gruesome history. As Mrs. Townsend gives George and Kathy the tour, their scenes are intercut with abrupt and unsettling flashbacks to the night of the murders. If the entire film had been conceived and executed with the same degree of insight and craft, it could have been a classic. Unfortunately, all cinematic inspiration ends when the Lutzes tell Mrs. Townsend they'll take the place. From that point, the film proceeds on two neighboring tracks that go nowhere and barely intersect. In one plot line, the Lutz family tries to adapt to their new life, as strange and uncanny incidents multiply. Cold spots, odd noises, doors that open and close on their own, windows that slam shut on hands (but without breaking bones), important objects that suddenly vanish and ghostly apparitions are among the indicators of a haunting. Amy, Kathy Lutz's daughter and youngest child, suddenly acquires a new "imaginary" friend, who appears to have malevolent intentions. Among other things, she manages to imprison a terrified baby-sitter (Amy Wright) in a closet with no lock on the door. The strain takes its toll on George, or maybe it's the financial commitment. Either way, he looks awful, and he neglects his struggling business (he's a land surveyor) to the point where his partner, Jeff (Michael Sacks), drives out to Amityville with his wife, Carolyn (Helen Shaver), to see what's going on. Carolyn, who is apparently psychic, is immediately terrified when she approaches the house. But eventually Jeff persuades her to accompany him and the Lutzes inside, where her instincts lead her to the same wall in the basement where the family dog has been whining and pawing at the base. George hammers through, and they find a "red wall" that reflects George's face back to them. Carolyn suddenly suffers a seizure or a possession, while a strange voice issues from her declaring that they need to cover the gateway to hell. And with that, Jeff and Carolyn disappear from both the scene and the movie, never to be glimpsed, heard from or mentioned again. (Maybe they joined Kathy's ex-husband.) Meanwhile, George and Kathy continue living in the house with Kathy's three children, because . . . well, just because. Such is the casual indifference toward coherent storytelling with which The Amityville Horror was constructed that scenes like the "red wall" happen, but the follow-up makes no sense. The "true life" element requires that the entire family survive and flee the house at the end. Everything in between is marking time. That includes the film's second plot line. Intercut with the misadventures of the Lutz family is the fretful tale of Father Delaney (Rod Steiger), Kathy's long-time priest. Knowing the house's history, Kathy asked Father Delaney to stop by and bless their home on move-in day, and the good father actually did so. But he arrived at just the right moment when every family member happened to be out boating, so that the house's evil forces could mobilize against the devout priest without any witnesses. As he tries to perform a blessing, Father Delaney is attacked by a huge swarm of flies, suffers cramp and nausea, and hears a disembodied voice ordering him to "get out!" Back at his church, he's afflicted by boils and a fever leaving him bedridden. Indeed, the house afflicts any servant of the church who enters, as demonstrated when Kathy's aunt, a nun (Irene Dailey), tries to visit.
The Amityville Horror Blu-ray, Video Quality
Whatever one's opinion of the film, there is nothing to fault with the Blu-ray presentation of The Amityville Horror, which doesn't necessarily mean every viewer will like it. What you get on the 1080p, AVC-encoded disc is an image much like you'd expect to see if you went to a movie theater in 1979 to catch the latest release from American International Pictures, which was one of the leading independent producers of the era. You didn't expect glossy, super-sharp images from A.I.P., and you rarely got them. The Blu-ray's image is moderately grainy, but the grain looks natural, neither artificially reduced nor digitally manipulated into odd patterns that "hang" or "clump". Detail is sufficiently well-reproduced that you can always make out the fine patterns of the terrible Seventies fashions and, in too many instances, the unconvincing makeup on James Brolin and Rod Steiger. Colors are natural-looking, though somewhat on the pale side. Black levels are generally good, though night scenes and dark interiors sometimes look more gray than black, a phenomenon I attribute more to the original photography than to "crushing". Compression artifacts were non-existent, as this is fairly undemanding material.
The Amityville Horror Blu-ray, Audio Quality
The 5.1 remix, presented in DTS lossless, of the original mono soundtrack aggressively moves specific sounds into the surround field and is surprisingly effective. Examples include the sound of George Lutz chopping wood, the family dog barking, and various slamming doors. (It's the isolation of these sounds that gives them such impact.) Major sound sequences like the opening storm take full advantage of the multi-channel system to register their presence, while dialogue remains anchored to the front (most of the time) and always clear. Bass extension is relatively modest, which is undoubtedly a limitation of the source material. Lalo Schrifin's original score supplies as much atmosphere as it can.
The Amityville Horror Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Is this a menu I see before me, the cursor toward my hand? Back in 2008, when Fox issued The Amityville Horror for MGM on Blu-ray, it included a menu and allowed the user to resume playback from the same point after stopping. The reissue due on Sept. 13, 2011 is expected to be the same disc. Consider it a relic of a bygone day, before Fox decided to make MGM Blu-rays less user-friendly.
The Amityville Horror Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
I can't recommend The Amityville Horror, because, despite the Blu-ray's technical merits, I don't think the film is worth anyone's time (except maybe as a historical artifact). However, if it ranks highly on your nostalgia scale, then I think this Blu-ray is about as good as it's going to get. I recognize that at least one user review has suggested that a future version could improve on the image, but I doubt it, unless -- and this could happen -- a new technology is created to synthesize a brand new, clean, "ideal-def" version of a movie from a film scan. If that ever happened, it would be the hi-def version of colorization, and I doubt it would be a favor to fans of Amityville. Some things are only charming because they're old. The more clearly you see this movie, the harder it'll be to overlook its considerable shortcomings.

It begins! That this strip will be in over 100 publications is a bit surreal to me.
The one I'm hopefully eventually going to make! There are no specific plans, it would just be awesome. :)
It's really quite a moment for me.
T minus one week to newspaper launch! At which point things will go back to a more standard format, but you'll finally see some strips you haven't seen before.
Maybe she hadn't in a while! Unicorns like to be beautiful in as many places as they can.
Yep. The change happened just after the new year. It's part of the process of getting the strip launched in newspapers, in three weeks now!
Several people have told me they didn't know Florence had pink hair until I ran this sequence in color.
Nope—like me, Phoebe is a northwesterner. :) And yes—usually I choose repeats that are seasonally appropriate. But with the launch looming, I'm getting careless about things like that.
There is actually a Sunday strip about that song. :)
Thank you for putting up with the repeats, everybody. (I hope the color has helped.) These are the strips as they appear in the forthcoming "Unicorn on a Roll." There are many, many more in the book.
And thank you for the outpouring of sympathy on the passing of my kitty friend. It's hard to lose someone you've spent nearly every day with for most of a decade. But I'm back at work…I might have to do a few more repeats because the newspaper launch is closing in on me and there's still work to do!
You are the best audience in comics. Stay awesome.

Hodnett Takes Home $4,000 payday in 2015 Season-Opener
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 3/15/2015 After being forced to cancel its first three scheduled races of the 2015 racing season due to snow and cold weather, Lincoln Speedway officially kicked off the racing season Sunday afternoon, March 15th, with Greg Hodnett surviving a marathon Icebreaker 30 feature event to add his name to opening day winners at the Pigeon Hills oval.
Using the Sunday rain date after a Saturday rainout, a large crowd of fans came out to watch the 410 Sprinters in action as Hodnett missed several early crashes and held on to score the win in the 30 lap feature that took well over an hour to complete.
I was just in survival mode, stated the Spring Grove driver after earning $4,000 for his 28th career Lincoln Speedway feature win. The track was very tricky, obviously due to circumstances
but the guys did a great job with the car.
They freed up it and I knew I was going to be free pretty much the whole race but that was the only way that I figured we could make any headway so it worked out for us.
Hodnetts win moved him into a tie with Van May for 10th place on Lincoln Speedways all-time track win list.
The first feature of 2015 took four starts to get an official lap in the books.
Niki Young flipped in turn one on the initial green flag. A second red flag came on the ensuing restart when front row starters Freddie Rahmer and Chase Dietz tangled on the frontstrech. Last years opening day winner Adam Wilt was also caught up in the crash.
Tim Glatfelter brought out the red flag on the third restart, flipping on the front stretch after contact with Chris Knopp and Scott Fisher.
Billy Dietrich finally grabbed the top spot when the first lap was scored, but, a yellow for Brian Montieth, who sat sideways off turn two slowed action with three laps complete.
Billy Dietrich continued to set the pace over Hodnett, who originally started sixth on the grid when another yellow for Rahmer slowed the pace once again after seven laps were scored.
Hodnett shot under Billy Dietrich entering turn one on the restart, emerging as the race leader before Aaron Ott hit the wall in turn two resulting in a fuel stop.
Billy Dietrich rolled to a stop on the restart as Hodnett continued to set the pace when another yellow flag appeared with 12 laps down for a stopped Fisher in turn four.
Montieth spun on the restart bringing out the final caution of the day.
The final 18 laps went non-stop as Hodnett drove the Mike Heffner owned, Lelands.com, Trone Outdoor, Eagle Steel No. 27 sprinter away from the field.
Hodnett was slowed up late in the event when he caught the rear of the field but maintained a near straightaway advantage when he crossed under the checkered flag to officially score the first win in Central Pennsylvania this season.
The 51 (Rahmer) and 44 (Dietz) were kind of bouncing around jockeying for position even before we took off so it was inevitable to happen because its a pretty narrow race track down here on the front straightaway
unfortunately those guys got tied up in it and it worked out for us and moved us up a row, said Hodnett. It wasnt the raciest Ive ever been but we just kind of bided our time and made sure we didnt do anything stupid to take ourselves out of contention.
Everyone that helps on this car did a nice job and Im just fortunate to be standing here. Normally here Im just not that good here. We just lucked out. Hopefully its not a bad omen because sometimes when you win early in the year, you get to struggling in the middle and end of the year. Hopefully that doesnt happen and we can keep this thing going.
Kyle Moody raced home in the runner-up spot ahead of Robbie Kendall, Brent Marks and 20th starting Cory Haas with defending track champion Alan Krimes sixth ahead of Montieth, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Danny Dietrich and Cole Duncan.
Heat races for the 30 410 Sprints pitside were won by Mike Bittinger, Chris Knopp and Bill Dietrich. Last years opening day winner Adam Wilt won the consolation.

Weather Permitting, Parking Biggest Challenge For Season-Opening Icebreaker 30
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 3/14/2015 As of Saturday afternoon, March 14th, Lincoln Speedway promoters are set to run the season-opening Icebreaker 30 tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, March 15th.
Thawing snow, and rain, have made the parking areas tricky. Fans should be aware of the parking conditions and use their best judgment as to where to park if they plan to attend.
Any additional rain leading up to the Sunday opener would hurt any chances of getting the show in.
Gates will open at noon, with 410 sprint heats set to get underway at 2 PM.

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 3/13/2015 Rain, not snow, has forced Lincoln Speedway promoters to push Saturdays season-opening Icebreaker 30 for 410 sprints to Sunday, March 15th.
The rain, and very wet conditions are still a concern as the promoters consider whether or not to proceed with Sundays scheduled rain date.
A decision for Sundays show will be made Saturday afternoon. Stay tuned!

In addition, there will be the scheduled open practice session for other divisions. A rain date is available the following day, Sun., March 15th at 2 PM if needed. Gates open at noon, racing at 2 PM.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 2/24/15 Snow cover and a forecast of temperatures below freezing the remainder of the week have forced Lincoln Speedway promoters to postpone the 2015 Season-opening Icebreaker 30 for 410 sprints back another week until Sat., March 7th.
Abbottstown, PA, 2/17/2015 - Due to freezing temperatures and the pending forecast of more wintery weather, Lincoln Speedway promoters have postponed the February 21st 2015 season-opening Icebreaker 30 until next Saturday, February 28th.

The water view at this oceanfront restaurant is reason enough to go. For lunch, try the fried oyster or shrimp po'boys. At dinnertime, you can't go wrong with the combination platter, which consists of broiled shrimp, oysters, flounder, fried soft-shell crab, and a crab cake. In addition to the main dining room, there's an oceanfront space with its own bar as well as Ping-Pong tables. You might start or finish your Pavilion experience at the Pier Pressure Lounge, whose
bar scene is fueled by a tropical drink machine, pool tables, karaoke, and a deck for dining or smoking, with strong ocean breezes.

Volvo has some history with estates. The Amazon was the original; the first car fitted with three-point seatbelts, and one that featured a split hatch booth and hinged number plate. The 850 Tourer showed us that touring cars can be so cool (you're welcome, Honda).
Vijay Pattni23 February 2014
This is the Volvo Concept Estate
Well, some of it, anyway. Geneva Motor Show concept gets very cheeky tease
We have literally no idea if this new Volvo Concept Estate in the pictures above will feature a split-hatch boot, hinged number plate or if it will make it to production and then go racing, but we do know it will have a slinky shape. And nice wheels.
Will this new estate make a great first car in 20 years time as Jeremy said its predecessors did? Will it sit alongside the company's effortlessly excellent concept cars of late (the Concept Coupe and XC Concept Coupe)? Only time will tell. Stay tuned.

5 Tablet PC Features to Consider
Tablets are fast becoming the ideal alternative to laptops for Web browsing, games and multimedia functions. If you're looking at tablet PCs, you should know that the comparison points for them are somewhat different from laptops and other portable devices. Here are some features you'll want to keep in mind while comparing similar devices.
How to Choose an Asus Entertainment PC
A powerful desktop computer, laptop or tablet can store music, movies and video games in one machine, connect to your TV and act as your home theater system. Asus offers many desktops, laptops and tablet PCs which could work as your entertainment PC. Here are the important features to look for when you are choosing the perfect Asus computer to be your entertainment hub.
Best e-Reader Features
Are you ready to leave your paper library behind and switch to digital books? If so, you have plenty of e-Readers to choose from. The line between tablet PCs and e-Readers is by no means a clear one since they share a lot of common features; tablets do tend to have more comprehensive abilities. If you're looking for a device that simply stores e-Books and also has a few connectivity features, then this list of features will help you narrow down your choices and find the one that's right for you.
Why Desktop Computers Can't Be Beat
With so many portable computing devices, it can be easy to forget the advantages of truly powerful electronics like desktop computers. Desktops have distinct advantages over laptops, notebooks and tablets. Here are a few of the strong points for desktop PCs that you might consider when selecting your next computer.
Differences between Memory Cards
Most electronics now use memory cards for data storage, including expandable memory slots to increase existing memory on certain devices. Available memory slots on a digital camera, phone or PC tablet may actually be a deciding factor for you when shopping for these electronics. To help you, here are more details comparing the common types of memory cards these devices may use.
Top 5 HP Laptops
Laptops are fast becoming a basic necessity at home, at work and in the classroom. With the right laptop, you can work on a variety of projects, browse the Internet and communicate with colleagues, friends and family. The right laptops and notebooks can also be powerful entertainment machines for gaming and movies. HP laptops are well known for their quality and top-of-the-line features. Here are five HP laptops with the features you need for work, study and play.
What to Pack for Africa's Highest Peak
Imagine that you are planning a trip that will take you from the equator to Antarctica in seven days. Now imagine that you have to limit the amount of gear you pack to 35 pounds or less. The task is getting more complicated. What kind of luggage would you choose and how would you pack for a trip that encompasses such extreme changes in climate and altitude? When Erica Davis, a paraplegic athlete, and Tara Butcher, a physically challenged athlete, climb Africa's highest peak, they will have to answer exactly those questions. The challenge: Mount Kilimanjaro rises from nearly sea level all the way up to 19,330 feet. The trail climbs from the hot bushland through rain forest, moorland, alpine desert and arctic glaciers up to the rocky Uhuru peak. A climb like Mt. Kili presents special challenges when it comes to luggage, clothing and gear. Being prepared for the weather and temperature extremes is a necessity, but it's also important not to pack too much. There is a 35-pound weight limit to each piece of luggage carried by a porter. Most climbers pack one 35-pound capacity bag to go up with a porter and one small daypack to carry up themselves. The daypack: Erica and Tara will have 7 days to summit Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. As they pass from one ecological zone to the next, their needs will change and so will the contents of their daypacks. Each day Erica and Tara will repack their daypacks in anticipation of the specific challenges of the day's journey. In general, their daypacks will include things like water, snacks, dry clothing, waterproof gear and sunscreen. The importance of keeping clothing and gear dry cannot be overstated. When choosing a daypack, a small to medium backpack made of lightweight, moisture-resistant material that comes with a removable waterproof shell will be ideal. It's also helpful if the backpack has convenient access to a water bottle compartment or can accommodate a water bladder. Plenty of pockets, zipper compartments and hooks are also handy. What to pack: A sturdy but lightweight water-repellant duffel bag with a capacity of about 35 pounds is ideal for the trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The bag needs to have room for plenty of layers of breathable, moisture-wicking clothing and layers of fleece clothing, as well as a waterproof layer. To save space, it's a good idea to pack clothing that does double duty, such as pants that easily convert into shorts. Aside from clothing, the climb will also require accessories like sunglasses, hats and gloves, plus equipment like trekking poles and a headlamp, as well as toiletries like sunscreen, insect repellent and a first-aid kit. Support the Challenged Athletes Foundation: Overstock.com and the C.H.E.K Institute are co-sponsoring Erica and Tara's climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness for athletes with physical challenges who wish to participate and compete in sports. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). CAF raises funds to give physically challenged athletes the opportunity to stay active and competitive in the sports they love. To show your support for physically challenged athletes like Erica and Tara, donate now to the Challenged Athletes Foundation for the Fit 4 Kili Climb.

Once upon a time there was a king of Persia who had extended a hand of oppression over his subjects and their property. He had set upon a course of injustice and tyranny. The people were immiserated by his cruel depredations, and many of them were driven in anguish to pursue their lives in exile. As the people suffered and became ever fewer in number, the resources of the state were impaired, and the treasury was emptied. Enemies pressed upon the king from every side.
He who in adversity would succour have,
Let him be generous while he rests secure.
You who reward him not, will lose your slave,
Though wearing now your ring. You would secure
The stranger as your slave, be to him kind;
And by your courtesy enslave his mind.
And one day they read in the presence of the king the book of Shah-namah, and came to the passage which relates to the decline of the empire of Zahhak and the reign of Faridun. The wazir asked the king: "Faridun possessed no treasure, territory or troops, so how did he hold on to his king?" And he replied: "As you have read. The people rallied around him because they loved him. They freely gave him their support. And so Faridun came to possess the kingdom." And then the wazir responded: "My king, since sovereignty is the people's gift to a king, why do you drive the people from you? Does this mean you no longer wish to be king?"
And the king asked, "Why do soldiers and the people rally around their king?" He answered: "A king must be just that they may resort to him, and merciful, that they may sit secure under the shadow of his greatness–and you have neither of these two great qualities."
The art of rule fails with tyranny;
No wolf may the shepard be.
Tyrants who on their people fall,
Undermine their state's foundation-wall.
The conversation with his wazir enraged the king. He ordered the wazir to be bound and sent him off to prison. But only a short time passed before the sons of the king's uncle rose in revolt, gathered an army against him, and laid claim to the kingdom of their father. Those who had been driven into emigration by his tyranny, once dispersed, collected to support the rivals. And so the kingdom passed from his hands.
The king who dares his subjects to oppress,
In day of need will find his friend a foe–
A mighty one. Soothe, rather, and caress
Your people; and in war-time you will know
No fear of foes; for a just potentate
The nation will rise as one to protect the state.
–Muslih-ud-Din Mushrif-ibn-Abdullah (Saadi), Gulistan ch. i, sec. vi (1258 CE)

Preferred methods and success and failures
I was just posting this to get a little insight on everyones success and failures at the different methods of hydroponics and tricks they have learned to bypass problems they experience
my only real failures resulted in this knowledge:
*if you're going to use a system that circulates the nutrient past/through the roots, make sure it moves enough that they get ample oxygen.
*Make sure the stem above the crown (root/stem interface) doesn't get saturated too often (not at all if possible) as this can deteriorate the stem and make it collapse.
Other than that, I've had pretty good success.
Every little bit of info helps. But with many things advice and only take you so far. Somethings u have to try and fail at yourself. As I have talked about with charlielittle, Im just starting out and he has given me some good advice "pretty cool guy". I guess I may try tomatoes and stuff like that. Thanks anyway keep the post comin if ya gottem.
