Using wordpress 2.9.2. I am loading my css files for plugins as they are being called, which ofcourse is after my header has been loaded. I want to insert the calls those css files in the HEAD tag of the page, which can be done if i get a hook which includes lines in the head after wp_head() has been called. Help !
Have you tried echoing the styles or .css include the in a function passed into wp_print_styles API action hook?
If you are using your own theme, you can just put <style> tags in your header.php file pointing to the stylesheets you are using.
If you need a hook, it is called wp_head (check the Codex documentation on it).
The solution that worked for me was inserting the css files in head using output buffer.
Look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_head - the action is called wp_head.
You will want to use wp_register_style() to register your CSS file followed by wp_enqueue_style() to actually add it to the list of stylesheets that are output.
There is an example on that page, but replace 'wp_print_styles' in the example with 'wp_head'.

One week away
We are one week away! Everything is in order, and we are getting very excited! We've been following the two safari lodges we are going to stay at on social media, and they are posting some great pictures! I am, however, not very excited that when Jeff was taking to someone who just came back from that area on New Years mentioned how many black mambas there were. REALLY?? I knew there were snakes, bit that is not what I wanted to hear!! Until next ...
... had to do without ever doubting my abilities or questioning my sanity. I Love you all and when it is your turn to "ride", I will be there to support, cheer, and Pray for you.
The WE would not be complete without one very special person who joined me on Day 1 and came along for the ride till the Finish/Start line. My dear Sharon, I hope our journey together brings us peace, love and true happiness for a long, long time. :) :)
Thank You everyone...WE DID IT!
Some of our activities and locations
Here are some of the places and activists we are going to do! Makakatana Bay Lodge - Boat Safari & Turtle Safari, along with Snorkeling in the Indian Ocean. This place says you fall asleep listening to the hippos! Cape Town - we are going to do lots here! Table mountain, coastal tour complete with penguin viewing, shark diving.... Yes shark diving! Cape Town has some amazing restaurants which we are excited to try. Test Kitchen, Sevruga, ...
With this one fax, you have saved our lives today!
... while sipping my iced americano and we relaxed together, talking about our upcoming week. It's been a steep learning curve for a couple of folks who have never done this job professionally before, but we're taking notes and doing the best we can every week. It was really nice to have a quiet place away from the RV to talk.
As it was nearing 5pm, we made our way over to where we were staying: next to a greenhouse. The nice folks ...
Getting ready for take off!
... coast, we finish the rest of our stay in Dublin.
Even with only one week away, it still doesn't seem to be really happening! Im feeling all sorts of emotions right now; anxious, excited, nervous, scared, worried, ecstatic!
I plan to update this site as much as I can find internet to sign on with things we do and hopefully pictures to see. Feel free to comment or leave advice on what we should do!
See you soon Paris!

Are you allowing students to bring their own devices to learn where you work? If so, you'll want to become familiar with these seven digital resources. Each resource is followed by a link to more information and advice for use in the classroom. What's great about all of these tools is they can be used in environments even if students have a regular phone without browser or app capabilities.

Most startups play defense when discussing pricing with customers. They dance between asking for too little, leaving money on the table, and asking for too much, only to lose the customer's interest. The very best companies lead their customers in that dance. They use pricing as an offensive tool to reinforce their product's value and underscore the company's core marketing message.

Bathroom Granite Countertop Costs
Get all the info you'll need on bathroom granite countertop costs, and get ready to make an educated purchase for your bath space countertop.
By: Sean McEvoy
Granite is generally considered the highest quality countertop material available, and if you're considering using granite for counter surfaces in your bathroom, you'll want to explore the tiers of bathroom granite countertop costs.
Granite has a beautiful, natural appearance. It's incredibly durable and will resist chipping or scratching, and it's easy to clean. So it's no surprise granite is so popular for kitchen and bathroom countertops. Along with all of its great qualities come associated costs, however. But don't despair if you're on a budget—you'll have a range of granite types to explore, at various price levels.
Basic granite countertops will generally cost around $50 - $60 per linear foot for materials and installation. This type of granite will not be of the highest quality—it may be less durable than higher quality granite, for example—but it will still have a beautiful appearance at a budget price.
For a better-quality granite, you can expect to pay $60 - $70 per linear foot. This granite type will be slightly more durable, and more resistant to scratching and chipping.
Finally, on the high end of the scale, you can expect to pay up to $200 per linear foot (sometimes more) for granite countertops that are just about guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Pennsylvania City Becomes 31st in the State to Ban LGBT Discrimination
May 29, 2013 by Lynne Bowman, Regional Field Director
Last night, the Pittston City Council unanimously passed an ordinance protecting LGBT individuals from discrimination, making it the 31st municipality in the state of Pennsylvania to do so. Located in the northeastern part of the state, the City Council's action adds nearly 10,000 people to number of people covered in the Keystone State. Unfortunately right now local laws are the only way to protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Pennsylvania is one of 29 states with no statewide law.
Recently, HB300/SB300 were jointly introduced in the Pennsylvania state legislature. This legislation, once passed, will add sexual orientation and gender identity to the state nondiscrimination law. Already, the bills have jointly secured 105 sponsors, the most ever, and with a record number of Republicans signed on. Recently released polling shows support for the legislation by over 70% of Pennsylvanians and under the leadership of Equality Pennsylvania, we expect to see the bill passed in the near future.

Budget Woes Could Close Philly's Problem Schools
Originally published on Mon May 14, 2012 6:44 am
By Jeff Brady
Philadelphia's school district plans to close a quarter of its school buildings in coming years to eliminate a huge budget hole. But parents and activists don't trust the decision-makers. Many of them suspect the plan is a ruse to force charter schools and privatization on the district.

I'm working with RQM v4.0 and RFT v8.2.x.x (pardon the "x" as I'm not sure if it's 18.104.22.168 or 184.108.40.206) and I'm having trouble executing my RFT scripts in RQM. I have the adapter set up and my RFT test scripts imported in RQM and linked to test cases in RQM. The problem is that when RQM tries to access the RFT scripts via the adapter, all test scripts fail. I'm not sure what I am missing. I have tried executing from a shared resource and locally with the same results each time. I'm not sure if the script arguments are being passed to the RFT scripts correctly. Is there an updated "How to guide" from an RFT perspective on how RQM should be able to access and run the RFT scripts? I've looked at the Jazz.net forums and haven't had any success finding anything indicating how the script arguments are passed from RQM to RFT to start the RFT scripts. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

These peanut butter balls are the perfect snack for everyone and it's very easy and quick to whip together. Also really fun to make with the kids! Add some of your favorite ingredients such as nuts or chocolate to add your own twist."

1 cup
rolled oats
1 cup
peanut butter
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
dry milk powder
I used vanilla whey protein powder instead of the dry milk powder for added protein and they were delicious.
These are super easy and quick to throw together. I used a 1 1/2 tsp. cookie scoop and got 30 balls out of the recipe. I think they are better kept cold in the refrigerator since they aren't so sticky that way.

Doodle Jump
See for yourself why Touch Arcade called Doodle Jump "possibly the best [mobile] game ever created" and Macworld called it "a perfect micro-game, insanely addictive, and deliciously replayable."
How high can you jump?
Journey up a sheet of graph paper, perpetually jumping from one platform to the next, picking up jet packs, avoiding black holes, and blasting baddies with nose balls along the way. Laugh with delight as you blow past other players' actual score markers scribbled in the margins. And be warned: this game is insanely addictive!
- Many fantastical worlds to play in - Ninja, Space, Jungle, Soccer, Underwater, Snow, Halloween, Frozen Ice, Easter and now PIRATES!
- Awesome power-ups to pick-up (JET PACKs, PROPELLER HATS, ROCKETS, trampolines...)
- Trippy obstacles to avoid (UFOs, black holes, and many, many monstrous monsters)
- Mad platforms to jump on (Broken, moving, disappearing, shifting, EXPLODING…)
- Global leaderboards, fun achievements! Beat your friends' scores!
How to play:
Tilt to move left or right, tap the screen to shoot.
As seen on TV (Big Bang Theory, Parks & Rec, Bad Girls), movies (Battleship), late-night (Jimmy Fallon) and on tour with Lady Gaga, find out why Doodle Jump is a true cultural phenomenon.
* BE WARNED: This game is INSANELY addictive!
* Don't doodle jump and drive!
If you bought Doodle Jump in the past, make sure you have it installed on your device* when you install this new version! That will remove the ads. If you have already uninstalled/deleted the old paid Doodle Jump version, you can re-download it from "My Android Apps" -> "Other apps in my library" or by going directly to: http://bit.ly/oldpaid
* This will work for most devices, but unfortunately not the ones that the old paid version is not compatible with. We are trying to come up with a solution for those.

Need Husqvarna Mini Tiller Parts
jim_mcnabbJune 11, 2009
I have a Husqvarna CT20 mini tiller (the 98-01 model). The tiller runs fine but the brass gear on the shaft with the tines has stripped.
Unfortunately you can't buy a replacement brass gear or a new tine shaft w/ gear, you have to buy an entire new transmission.
If anyone has one of these tillers sitting around with a dead engine and would be interested in parting it out please let me know.
I hate to throw the tiller away just because it has one bad part, that seems pretty wasteful.
Thank you.
Jim M

Danica Patrick vs Denny Hamlin! Who You Got? [VIDEO]
Things are getting heated at Daytona!
Things are getting heated at Daytona!
Even though the wind chill was well below zero on Thursday, Dale made his way out to Lafayette Square to have a little fun in the snow!
It's been a tough winter for all of us and even our pets. So here's what one neighborhood did to make the winter a little more enjoyable for their dogs. They carved out a maze in their backyards so their dogs could reach all their favorite spots in their yards. I imagine they used a snowblower to do it. Shoveling would have been tough.
When it gets this cold (10 below zero) you have to get creative.
The idea of having a kid right now....wow. I was at my cousins the other day and watched my little nephew (or 2nd cousin once removed if you want to get technical) and the twenty minutes I was with him tired me out! This video is super cute and probably slightly frustrating to watch! Here's to all the moms out there!
Post by Story of Thi
The struggle is real! You want something so badly that you'll try anything. I think when she gets older she'll appreciate that her dad wants to get another TV. Just think how clear Elsa will be on the new TV! She's got gumption, but she needs to "Let It Go
Well if this isn't just adorable!!! This sea lion pup is learning early on that his adorableness will get him EVERYWHERE. He hops on the Gist's kayak in Santa Barbra harbor and the rest is just everyone glued to their computers watching it!
"He started nuzzling up to me being really sweet
While some of the country ...*cough cough* us, is used to this weather... most of the country doesn't know how to handle a little cold and a dusting of snow. This is causing a lot of schools to close and parents scrambling to try and get this city back up and running and their kids back in school! LOL So what to you do when you kids can't really go outside
If you watch the Weather Channel at all you probably know the name Jim Cantore. He is super passionate and always excited about extreme weather...which is good in Weatherman, I guess! Watch as he reacts to thunder snow that hit in New England over the past few days
Hey...whatever is takes to lear and remember! LOL Check out this adorable girl spit mad rhymes ad her dad lays down beats!
It seems funny at first. But really it's a bit sad and will no doubt bring up the question about re-certification of drivers/licensing. A 92 yr old man smashed into multiple cars in a parking lot and it was caught on camera.
People told me it gets better, but I'm not so sure that's the right way to put it because it doesn't ever really get better. Instead, you learn to cope with it. You have to. There is no other choice.
Today marks three years since my wife, Shelley, passed away. That's more than a thousand days and there's not a day that I don't think about her. And there's so much I miss about her.

Full-back Arscott signs for two more years
January 21, 2008
Bristol full-back Luke Arscott has signed a new two-year contract with the club.
Luke joined Bristol Rugby from Plymouth Albion in the summer of 2006 and was joined at the club by younger brother Tom a year later.
After a knee injury disrupted his early progress, Luke made the number 15 shirt his own in the latter part of the 2006-7 season and has continued in that vein in 2007-8 making eleven starts to date and scoring three tries.
Of particular note has been the partnership he has forged with Tom which was evidenced in the game against London Wasps in December where the pair scored all three of Bristol's tries.
Luke was delighted to have secured his future at Bristol when he signed the contract today:
"I'm very happy. It's a real weight off my mind and I can concentrate on playing now. There's a good bunch of boys here and it's a great place to live.
"I got off to a slower start than I would have wanted when I first joined the club but I've had a run in the side recently which has helped me and I think has helped the team as well.
"Now I want to play my part in taking the club forward and, if possible, further my own international claims."
Head coach Richard Hill admitted that he had been keen to get Luke to sign a new deal:
"Luke is an outstanding young player with great potential. He has natural flair which is exciting to watch and as he gains further 1st XV experience, I am sure he will develop into a very fine full-back for Bristol."

In Cuba's sea of classic cars, the truly valuable are elusive
12:01 am U.S. ET | Dec. 27, 2014
American collectors who envision a wave of classic cars from Cuba coming onto the market will need to temper their expectations....
Cars to Cuba? It's complicated
12:01 am U.S. ET | Dec. 22, 2014
The political struggle over easing trade restrictions is just one barrier to reviving U.S. auto sales in Cuba. Another major headwind is purely economic: Nearly all Cubans live modestly and cannot afford new or used American cars....
Under new law, Cuban dealers sell 50 cars in first 6 months of year
8:29 am U.S. ET | July 1, 2014
Cuban dealers sold 50 cars and four motorcycles in the first six months of the year under a new law that removed limits on auto purchases but came with prices so high few people could afford them....

I've been here before - sitting in a psychogeriatrician's consulting room with a parent. The last time was with my mother while my father rode shotgun. This time it's my father who is in the hot seat while I have taken on his role as protector/interpreter.
I remember so clearly that day with my mother. 'Do you know what this is?' the doctor asked her, showing her his watch. She shook her head. 'And this?' he held up a pen. 'Do you know what this is for?' She didn't. He should have asked her if she knew who I was. That was a question she could have answered. That day at least. She comforted me there in the consulting room when I cried at her plight.
Sitting beside my father in the specialist's rooms I don't cry. I save my tears until later. Right now I am in competent mode, paying attention to my father's feelings and to what we need from this doctor.
The doctor asks us what we have come for, how he can help us. My father doesn't answer; he has no idea. He's here because he trusts me and I have brought him. I tell the doctor that my father has memory problems and that he barely sleeps at night, getting up, wandering around, confused and disoriented.
My father stares at me, his forehead furrowed in disbelief. 'I sleep very well,' he says. 'And I have a very good memory. I never forget anything.' My father is always loving and kind to me so he's not going to be rude but he's clearly puzzled and even shocked at my words.
'You don't mind if I test your memory?' the doctor asks.
'Not at all.' Actually there is some more conversation here and my father speaks slowly but articulately. Maybe he's not as bad as I feared. Maybe he's right and I'm wrong.
The doctor opens a printed test booklet. 'What's the date today?' he asks.
Dad concentrates but can't come up with an answer. This is not too bad. He's retired and spends most days at home. There's no reason for him to keep track of the exact date.
'That's fine. How about the month?'
Again Dad wracks his brain but can't find the answer. This is worse. It's easy to lose track of a day, but a whole month is a different dimension of forgetfulness.
'Now,' the doctor says, 'I'm going to say three words and ask you to remember them. Is that OK?'
My father nods. He's confident he'll be able to do this.
'Apple. Table. Flag.'
These are easy words. He'll remember them with no difficulty, especially because his oldest granddaughter grows apples on her organic farm. I say the words to myself, committing them to my own memory.
'Could you spell the word world backwards for me?' the doctor asks.
This is hard but Dad can't even manage one letter. He doesn't even try.
Now we're back to those words. Apple. Table. Flag. Does he remember them?
My father shakes his head. He doesn't say that one was a type of fruit and one was a piece of furniture, that they're on the tip of his tongue. He has no idea at all.
There are other tests but he fails them all. After a while the doctor says to me that he won't continue with the test; there's no point. It would only be upsetting.
We don't discuss the diagnosis. It's clear my father is suffering from dementia.
The doctor writes a prescription for a low dose of an anti psychotic to mitigate the sundowner effect that is common amongst dementia sufferers and that has my father confused and agitated in the late afternoon, and to help him sleep at night. At this point my father has fallen asleep in his chair.
We make another appointment. The doctor wants to give Dad some blood tests and see how he's going on the medication. Dad offers his hand, thanks the doctor who has been gentle and kind, and we leave.
At home I google the medication. Its side effects can include weight gain, dry mouth, drowsiness and even stroke or sudden death.
This is not what I want for my father but at the moment he dozes on and off all day and virtually doesn't sleep at all during the night. He gets agitated and aggressive with his carers and even with my older brother whom he adores. His behaviour is hard on him and even harder on his carers.
But I still feel I have failed him, that I should be able to find a way to manage him without resorting to these drugs.
And worse, I feel that I have caused the dementia. I took him to this doctor. It's because of me that he had these tests, which have led to a diagnosis, exposed his weakness to the world. If I hadn't taken him it wouldn't be true. He wouldn't have dementia. He'd just be old.
I know that what I have done is the responsible thing, that in fact I should have done it earlier. But in my heart I feel guilty of taking a lamb to the slaughter.
It's too early to tell how well the medication will work for my father. But the best I can expect is that he is calmer and sleeps better at night. That he's more 'manageable'. I feel cruel and even evil, though I don't know what else I can do.
There'll be more assessments and blood tests and I'm looking into respite care for a short period while two of his main carers are away, though he may not agree to go.
I just wish I could do better. I just wish I knew how to do this better. That's all.

Shut up and Write
It felt like the first day of school for me this morning. Dressed in my Pilates clothes, I was off to my Shut up and Write group, then to Pilates, then to meet Farmdoc for coffee at our regular coffee place. This was my routine last year but I've had a long break over the summer holidays. Like my youngest granddaughters today was my first day back.
Have you heard of Shut up and Write? It's a worldwide movement that began in San Francisco and is particularly popular amongst academic writers, but works for any kind of writing. The idea is to meet in a cafe with a group of people and a timer and just write. There's opportunity for socialising but it's amazing how productive you can be in the company of others.
We use the Pomodoro Technique, which breaks the time up into blocks. In the breaks between blocks you're not supposed to talk about what you're working on (though sometimes we do). Most people find that when they return after the short break they can get to a deeper level in their writing. That certainly happens for me.
We meet at 9.15, order coffee, chat for 15 minutes, write for 25 minutes, break for a five minute chat and then write for another 25 minutes. There's usually a bit more chat at the end, sometimes another 25-minute writing session for those who don't need to rush off.
We've experimented with different venues – a couple of different cafes and a meeting room in a hotel – but the café where we meet at the moment suits us best. They know our coffee orders and don't seem to mind us spending an hour or so taking up precious table space. They've also grown used to our bursts of chatter, stretches of silence.
The time we met in a hotel, the young male manager set us up in a room to ourselves around a large boardroom table, but then tried to engage us in conversation about what we were doing when we were clearly wanting to concentrate and write in silence. I couldn't help but wonder if he'd have been so intrusive and condescending ('We're all working hard here, aren't we?') if we'd been a group of men. Just a thought.
The Pomodoro technique works so well for me that I've begun trying to use it at home too. In the five minute breaks I get up, maybe do a few stretches, maybe make a cuppa or get a glass of water, maybe do some chores.
These Monday morning Shut up and Write sessions set me up for the writing week. I use them for all sorts of things. This morning I spent the first block writing this. Sometimes I write in my journal. Mostly I work on my novel, which is what I did in my second block.
Conversations are short, we're different ages and stages and working on all kinds of projects, but we have in common that writing is important to us. When I spot these people around town I feel connected to them but also to the life of the town. It's the beginning for me of a sense of community here in this new place.

This Time Last Year
Here are some photos from a year ago, of a dinner our friends Annie and Janet made for us on the bridge at Onemilebridge:
Last Thursday twelve months ago was our last day in our Tasmanian house. We spent the day cleaning as the movers hauled our numbered and catalogued boxes into their truck.
Farmdoc concentrated on the shed while inside the house I moved from room to room, cupboard to cupboard, scrubbing, wiping, dusting. A friend came by to collect one last load for the tip and a few cast offs to distribute. Late in the afternoon the new owners arrived for a last minute inspection and to ask a few questions. The real estate agent who'd brokered the sale came too, bearing a gift. I barely lifted my head from my cleaning.
I can still feel the current of tension that seethed through my body. I was determined to leave the house as clean as possible for its new occupants. I wanted this young couple to have an easy start in their new home.
I think I was also hiding in those cupboards and drawers from the magnitude of the change.
We were leaving a house, a dog, a property, a village and friends. A life we'd built up over a lot of years.
Our decade at Onemilebridge had been important to us in many ways. And now it was over.
That afternoon, after we'd left the house as clean as we could, we drove the long way around to our next-door neighbour's house. For years we'd walked and driven through our sycamore forest or across the paddock to her place, arriving for dinner on our ATV or in gumboots. Now those paddocks and that forest didn't belong to us any more so we arrived as all her visitors did, driving up her front driveway.
We slept that night at her house and spent our last day in Tasmania gazing across at our farm, knowing that those familiar paddocks belonged to someone else now; doing some last minute chores, and having lunch with another friend.
That evening I flew to Melbourne while Farmdoc took the ferry across. Unexpectedly, our friends James and Iris saw us off, so that their dear faces were our last sight of Tasmania.
The morning of the 17th of March, a year ago yesterday, Farmdoc and I drove up the driveway of Daylesford Organics, the farm belonging to our oldest daughter and her family, in time for a welcome breakfast of pancakes and coffee. It was the beginning of the next stage in our lives.
I can feel now all the emotions that belong to that period - sadness, anxiety, fear, excitement - but I couldn't feel them then. I was numb. I think I stayed numb for months while we sorted our belongings and set ourselves up in our rented cottage.
Then, as we began the process of building a new house and a new life in a new community, without my even noticing it I started to thaw out. But that's a story for another time.

Vale Pete Seeger
Pete Seeger has died. He was 94, a great age in anyone's language, but I am so sad.
Today I am listening to that oh so familiar voice singing 'To everything there is a season...a time to be born and a time to die...' Of course I know that, but my foolish aching heart doesn't know it, so I listen and I cry into the lemon meringue icing I am making, and I think back to the first time I heard him sing.
I was thirteen and my aunt and uncle had taken me to see him perform at the Melbourne Town Hall. I fell in love immediately. With that voice, the tuneful alto soaring above the crowd as he cajoled a stuffy Melbourne audience, many of the men in suits and ties, to lose their inhibitions and to sing with him. With the sound of his 12-string guitar and banjo. With his genuineness. With his belief in the innate goodness of people, that we really could overcome.
I was hooked.
Every time I saved enough money for a record I'd tram into the city and think, 'this time I'll get something different'. But each time I'd put on the headphones in the booth and hear Pete's voice and succumb, adding another Pete Seeger LP to my collection.
But Pete returned the favour. He introduced me to other musicians: The Weavers of course, Woody Guthrie, and on and on down to the line, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tom Paxton, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen.
Pete Seeger kept me company through my awkward teen years. I'd shut myself up in my room, listen to his songs and feel less lonely, see that there were people out there who were good and decent and passionate about the planet and its inhabitants, that there was in fact a bigger world outside the confines of my suburban life.
There was even more to Pete than this, but I didn't know any of it then. That he built his own house, a log cabin, from instructions he found in the public library. His bravery in the face of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, preferring the risk of jail to naming names.
'A time to dance and a time to mourn.' For me now it's a time to mourn. And a time for giving thanks. Thank you so much, Pete. For everything.

Welcome Bee and Ra
I know, I know. Long time no blog. I've left you in suspense all these months. The last time I wrote we were weeping outside the locked gates of Eden. Did they cross Bass Strait alive? you wondered. Did they realise that they'd made a huge mistake, and do they now wish to return to the south island?
We arrived to fanfare, goodie baskets and a welcoming committee.
Well, yes and no. Yes, we made the move safely, all our possessions and ourselves intact. And here we are, close to our two oldest daughters and their families, ensconced in a rented cottage while across two paddocks our new house takes shape. So no, we don't want to return.
We arrived to fanfare, goodie baskets and a welcoming committee.
The last couple of weeks back there and the first couple of weeks here were hard. I felt bruised. There was the physical work involved in sorting and packing all our possessions and then at the other end unpacking what we thought we'd need for the next twelve months, and storing the rest. But mostly it was the emotional work of closing a chapter in our lives. We'd been in Tasmania for over two decades!
I spent hours, while I should have been wrapping things in butchers paper, reading over my old journals. I burnt a lot of them. Right now I don't completely understand why I did that and whether I'm going to be sorry later. It's just that there were dozens, and they were full of whingeing about long-resolved problems. It seemed like I didn't even know who that person was any more. I thought if I died (and this move felt like it might just kill me) then I didn't want to subject anyone else to having to read that stuff. And those books took up so much room. Anyway, there are still a couple of boxes worth to go into my new study, and I'm constantly filling up new ones. It's a habit - or perhaps an addiction.
And now we love it here.
We're here to cheer up and to cheer on, to help and to be helped, and to enjoy our daughters and their families. We are around to celebrate the small achievements and the huge ones, to bear witness to milestones. We're close to good coffee and a great community, and I'm near enough to my dad to be able to see him regularly.
It's been especially amazing to be part of the excitement of the launch of Vantastic, Kate's wonderful book.
How lucky are we? Don't answer that; I know the answer already. Very lucky indeed!

Recipe For Moving House
Take one reasonably settled existence.
Add some hopes, some dreams, a dash of ageing.
Throw together the past, the present, the future, some friends, some family, a pinch of mortality.
Fold this mixture into a house full of possessions – furniture, books, china and cooking pots - and a shed full of stuff.
Wrap in butchers paper and pack in cardboard boxes.
Pour into a 20-foot container.
Drive down the driveway, taking in all that you see
Adding slowly that this will be the last time
Lock the padlock on the gate - with you keyless on the other side
Ship goods across Bass Strait and follow in ute.

Alzheimer's and Me
Lately I've been thinking a lot about Alzheimer's. It began with a letter I wrote for the Mental Health Research Institute's annual appeal. This is the photograph of my parents that is at the top of that letter:
Mum was in the very early stages of dementia then, but still very beautiful and vivacious, and my parents were still head over heels in love with each other. The full letter is here. Here are a few extracts from it:
About 300,000 of my mother's fellow Australians are living with dementia right now. Every six minutes a new sufferer is diagnosed. But we felt alone.
With Alzheimer's there's no kidney you can donate, no body part that can be amputated, no chemo to try. No drug cure. Nothing. Just patience and anguish. And then more the next day. And then again. And again. For years. With only death at the end.
It's predicted that without any significant medical breakthrough there'll be one million sufferers by 2050.
If you'd like to donate to the Institute here's the link for that.
Then at the beginning of December I participated in a Dementia in Hospitals forum, a joint project of Alzheimer's Australia Victoria, and the Victoria and Tasmania Dementia Training Study Centre.
It was an interesting forum. The bad news is that nobody talked of a cure or even of a known cause. If there is a cure, it's at least five years away, and inside the brains of many of us baby boomers those pesky amyloid plaques and tau tangles are forming already. Tick, tick, tick...The statistics are terrifying and getting worse. It's strange how complacent people are about this. Denial, I guess. Ignore it and it'll go away...
The good news is that many dedicated and talented researchers are investing a lot of time working out how best to look after sufferers in acute care hospitals, which must be the worst, most frightening, places for them.
My speech was about my family's experience with Alzheimer's and in particular about how confusing and frightening hospitals were for my mother, and how hard we had to work to make the situation tolerable for her.
After all this I turned to a book called, The Alzheimer's Prevention Program, by Gary Small and Gigi Morgan
I didn't really expect a miracle. I suppose I was seeking a glimmer of hope.
The book is easy to read and well set out. It contains results from lots of studies and provides a recipe for healthy living. Remember that line, maybe from Laugh-In, 'Healthy mind, healthy body - take your pick'? Well, this book provides a template for both.
There are sections on nutrition, physical and mental exercise and reducing stress.
No miracles though, and no guarantees either. What the authors suggest is that by following these recommendations you can possibly postpone Alzheimer's by years. And if you can delay the disease long enough then maybe there'll be a cure, or you'll die of something else before it even manifests at all, or to any great extent.
Better than nothing.
For me the most encouraging thing I've read recently is that if the members of your family who have developed dementia have done so after age 65 then you are at no more risk than the general population. I felt a weight lift off me when I read that. I had assumed because my mother developed Alzheimer's in her 70s, then the disease was sitting at the end of my bed waiting for me. It still may be, I guess. I'll just have to get up earlier than it does and follow as many of the book's prescriptions as I can: eat a healthy diet, exercise my body and exercise my brain.
And then time will tell.
People who knew my mother always said I looked just like her. I was so proud of that. Now it makes me nervous that our similarity will be my downfall. Whereas before I used to seek ways in which we were alike, now I find myself looking for the differences between us.

Meyer Lemon Tree
Hi everyone,
I bought a Meyer lemon tree today at Wal-Mart. They also had some Key Lime trees for sale and a few of those were in blossom. Did they ever have a nice fragrance!!
Here is the Meyer lemon and the 11.5" inch pot I bought to pot it up in. Should it be pruned before I pot it up? Any other tips on how to grow these are greatly welcomed!
Thank you!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Hi Moonwolf,
Wow, citrus at Walmart..Your Meyer is fantastic looking.
There's no need to prune foliage.
Some people remove flower buds during the trees' first budding, but your citrus is fairly large, so I'm sure its flowered and probably fruited already.
Do you know if it's grafted? Toni
Hi Toni! Good to see you!
I do not know if this plant is grafted or not. There are no buds, blooms, or fruit on it at all. It's in a one gallon pot. I'm almost afraid to pot it up into the new pot for fear of losing the leaves. I love how vibrant and healthy it looks and I would hate to change that. I have read they are quite hardy in that sense and often bouncing back with new growth after the shock.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Hey, Brad, nice Meyer :-)
Fast-draining, porous mix, and frequent fertilization. Meyer Lemons are quite hungry, as Citrus go. If you fail to fertilize, you'll have yellow leaves (dropping) in no time. I have a Meyer, and it's the most tricky to keep green and lush. Also, Meyer's are very sensitive to changes in temperature and light, so it'll likely drop leaves Spring and Fall as it is brought outdoors and then brought indoors again. During the Winter, it'll need the sunniest window you can manage, and would be even happier with supplemental lighting.
Yep, Mike is the culprit! haha!
Mike and I use Foliage Pro 9-3-6, but there are other good citrus fertilizers out there. I would choose a soluble liquid for maximum control. Mike has experimented with various fertilizers more than I have, so hopefully he'll pop in and offer some advice.
Thank you, Josh!
I use Miracle Gro Tomato Food on my flowering houseplants and they all seem to love it. They also get plain, good ol' rainwater, just like the other day after it rained here, I watered them with some. Anyways, I will see what Mike has to say more on the subject.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Hey Brad,
Wow you got that at Wal-Mart? Great find!! I bought my mom one last summer while I was in Florida at a Nursery. It had 3-4 Lemons last summer.
It's just starting to fill out good this summer. Glad you posted this I didn't know about it having a high fertilizer need. Good luck with it.
Thank you, everyone!
I was surprised to find these for sale at our Wal-Mart, and something inside me told me to get one, but I waited and finally broke down and got the Meyer Lemon. I wish I had room for the Key Lime since some of them were in bloom, but both plants are nice. There is some pelleted fertilizer on top of the soil in the pot that it came in (and still is in), so, I don't know whether to give it any additional plant food or not.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Hey Brad...regarding leaf drop, sure you're not thinking about Ficus??
The only time my citrus leaves fall is when I'm too lazy to water. My fault. Winter blues, etc, etc.
Don't fear repotting.
Perhaps while changing containers you can get an idea if fertilizer pellets are throughout the soil or just on top.
My little citrus has a few fried leaves from too much sun too fast(didn't adjust it slowly enough),but they're still hanging on.
Good point about the pellets Toni. Bare root then new mix and Brad will have more of a handle on the feeding schedule. :)
Asleep..Sorry about your citrus. Are the few leaves completely fried or sunburned? Red?
During winter, which direction does your citrus face?
Although I advise acclimation, when my plants are set outside, there's no room for shade to sunnier locations.
Normally, I haul plants out on cloudy days..when weather forecasters predict a rainy week.
Know what ya mean about the overcast days being a blessing,it's helped alot lately while moving the collection from the front(east)of the house to the back(west). All winter the citrus was in a terrarium by a window with western exposure but when I moved it outside with everyone else who went(I removed it from the terrarium by the way),it went to the east side,see? At first everyone was under the stairs where they were getting adequate shade to start out and the long and the short of it was that the little citrus was nudged out a bit more aggressively than the others. The "fried" part of the leaves that were affected is basically like light grey paper,an eyesore to some maybe but it doesn't bother me too much. The damage occurred on the east side of the house and now that it's been moved to the west side it(and a few ficus)are likely getting alot of help adjusting because of all the recent cloudcover. I have GOT to get a camera one of these days! ;)
Asleep. Yes, you need a camera...a digital camera is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. :)
I still have the old instant camera..Wonder if they sell film? Whatever it's called. lol
To be honest, I'd rather take instant pics..Our printer went dead. I love viewing old pics on paper.
Oh, your citrus is young? Not a tree? Duh, I thought your citrus was either bushy or standard tree.
Young, smaller plants should start off in a shady area, especially if it gets little light during winter.
Heck, one of my Euphorbias burned when placed on the front stairs..facing west..'about 5 yrs ago.'
One cactus, too. Same steps as the Euphorbia.
Just remove the burned leaves. Eventually, babies will sprout on bare branches.
Out of all my citrus, I think Meyer's is most-likely to burn in full sun. Don't know the reason, but it seems that way.
Can't believe the time..gotta hit the shower, lol..Sheesh, addicting GW. lol. Toni
Hey Toni,
Thank you! I'll be sure to get it repotted. My Meyer Lemon was already outside in the sunlight at Wal-Mart, so having it outside for the summer hasn't been a problem yet, lol. I'll be sure and check for additional pellets when I repot.
