++=very well soluble, +=well soluble, =poor1y soluble, =very poorly soluble, -=insolub1e.
The sum of the properties of the new polycarbonates, particularly the low tendency for crystallization and the good solubility in a great number of solvents, makes these plastics suitable especially for manufacturing moulded articles by injection moulding and for coatings respectively, particularly when non-inflammability is desired.
The new polycarbonates may be produced by polyinterestifying the corresponding dihydroxy compounds with dialkylor diaryl esters of carbonic acid, e.g. dimethyl-, diethyl-, dipropyl-, dibutyl, diamyl-, dioctyl-, dicyclohexyl-, and especially with the diphenyland diomor ptoluyl carbonic acid ester, or with mixed esters, for instance with the methyl-ethyl, the methylpropyl, the ethyl-propyl, the methyl-cyclohexyl, the ethylcyclohexyl, the propyl-cyclohexyl, the methyl-phenyl, the
ethyl-phenyl, the propyl-phenyl, the ethyl-o-, m-' or p-toluyl and the cyclohexyl phenyl carbonate, that is by heating mixtures of the dihydroxy compounds and the carbonic acid esters in about equimolecular ratios at temperatures from about 120 to about 300 C. and especially from about 170 to about 270 C. preferably under reduced pressure while splitting off the corresponding monohydric alcohol or phenol respectively until a viscous filrnand fibre-forming melt is obtained.
Instead of mixtures of the corresponding dihydroxy compounds and dialkylor diaryl esters of carbonic acid mentioned above there may also be heated bis-alkyl-, cycloalkylor aryl esters of the corresponding dihydroxy compounds alone or in mixture with free dihydroxy compounds. In the first case neutral dialkyl-, di-cycloalkyl or diaryl carbonate splits off, in the second case the corresponding monohydroxy alkyl-, cycloalkylor aryl compound splits off.
In general inter-esterifying catalysts such as: inorganic bases, for example caustic soda and potassium hydroxide, high boiling organic bases such as acridine, metal hydrides such as lithium and calcium hydride, alkali or alkaline earth metals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, metal oxides such as zinc oxide, aluminium oxide, lead oxide, antimonotrioxide, cerium oxide, and boron oxide, acids such as phosphoric acid and p-toluene sulphonic acid, and salts such as sodium benzoate, calcium acetate, and boron phosphate, and alcoholates and phenolates may be added to the reaction mixture.
When using basic catalysts we prefer to neurtalise the catalyst by adding basic-binding agents to the melt towards the end of the poly-inter-esterification. Suitable basebinding agents are for instance aromatic sulphonic acids such as p-tolyl sulphonic acid, organic acid halides such as stearyl chloride, butyryl chloride, benzoyl chloride, and toluene sulphochloride, organic chlorocarbonates such as phenyl chloroformate, p-hydroxy-diphenyl chloroformate, and bis-chloroformates of di-monohydroxy arylene alkanes, dialkylsulphates such as dimethyl sulphate and dibutyl sulphate, organic chlorine compounds such as benzyl chloride and w-chloroacetophenone as well as acid salts of polycondensation inorganic acids such as ammonium hydrogen sulphate.
Base-binding substances which are volatile under greatly reduced pressure at esterification temperatures are especially suitable since an incidental excess over that required to neurtalise the basic catalysts can be easily removed from the melt. Dimethyl sulphate, phenylchloroformate and benzoyl chloride are examples of substances of this group.
The dihydroxy compounds which may be used for the production of the new polycarbonates are obtainable by reacting the corresponding nucleus-halogenated aromatic dihydroxy compounds with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide by methods well known in the art.
Among the aromatic dihydroxy compounds suitable for the present invention there may be mentioned: halogenated hydroquinone, 4,4-dihydroxydiphenyl, 4,4-dihydroxydiphenylene sulphone, 4,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, and particularly halogenated 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylene alkanes such as 4,4-dihydroxydiphenylene methane,

l 2,2-(4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenylene)-nonane (melting point 1,1-(4,4 dihydroxy-diphenylene) -1-phenyl-ethane, (4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenylene)-1-( a-furyD-ethane, 3,3-(4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenylene) -pentane,
1,1-(4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenylene) -cyclopentane,

furthermore 4,4-dihydroxy-diphenylene oxide,
4,4-dihydroxy-diphenylene sulphide,
1,5-dihydroxy naphthalene, 2,6-dihydroxy naphthalene and 1,4-dihydroxy naphthalene.
As mentioned above the nuclei of these aromatic dihydroxy compounds may be substituted with 1-4 halogen atoms that is with fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Special halogenated aromatic dihydroxy compounds are for instance Octa-chloro-4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenyl,
Di-chloro-4,4'-dihydroxy-diphenylene sulphone (melting point 194-1955 C.),
2,2 (4,4 dihydroxy 3,5,3',5' tetra chloro diphenyl ene -propane,

2,3,5,6,2,3',5',6' octa chloro 4,4 dihydroxy di phenylene-methane,
A part of the nucleus halogenated alkoxylated dihyhydroxy compounds mentioned above may be replaced by non-halogenated aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic dihydroxy compounds such as diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, thiodiglycol, ethylene dithiodiglycol, the di-, and polyglycols produced from propylene-0xide-l,2, 0-, m-, or p-xylylene glycol, propanediol-l,3, butanediol-1,3, butanediol-l,4, Z-methylpropancdiol-l,3, pentanediol-l,5, 2-ethylpropanediol-l,3, hexanediol-l,6, octanediol-l,8, 1-ethylhexanediol-l,4 and decanedioll,l0, cyclohexanediol-l,4, 2,2-(4,4-di-hydroxy-dicyclohexylene)-propane and 2,6-dihydroxy-decahydronaphhydroquinone, resorcinol, 4,4-dihydroxy-diphenyl, 1,4-dihydroxy-naphthalene, 1,6-dihydroxy-naphthalene, 2,6-dihydroxy-naphthalene, 1,5-dihydroxy-napbthalene, dihydroxy-anthracene, 4,4-dihydroxy-dinaphtl1yl- 1,1, and m-, p-hydroxy-benzylalcohol and particularly 4,4-dihydroxy-diphenylene alkanes, sulphones, oxides and sulphides mentioned above, but non-halogenated. In general however, the mixtures should be composed in such a manner that the halogen content of the end product is up to about 10 percent and particularly between about 5 to about 40 percent by weight.
Example 1 A mixture of 0.1 mol of 2,3,5,6-tetra-chloro-hydroquinone-bis-(,B-hydroxyethyl ether)=33.6 parts by weight and 0.1006 mol of diphenyl carbonate=21.52 parts by weight is heated under stirring and passing through purilied nitrogen during 2 hours at 200 C. Then the temperature is increased to 230 C. during a further hour and the heating at that temperature is continued for 3 hours. After slowly increasing the temperature to 250 C. the reaction chamber is evacuated during /2 hour at 0.1 mm. mercury gauge. Under these conditions the heating is continued for further 2 hours. One obtains a viscous melt which solidifies to a completely clear p'lastic when cooling. The softening point is 195198 C.
Example 2 A mixture of 41.2 parts by weight of 4,4-dihydroxy- 3,5,3',5' tetra chloro diphenyl bis (,8 hydroxy ethylether) (melting point 203204 C.), 21.8 parts by weight of diphenylcarbonateand 0.0005 part by weight of lithium-hydride is melted under stirring while passing through purified nitrogen. The phenol split off is distilled off at 220 C. and 50 mm. mercury gauge. After 1 hour the pressure is slowly reduced to 0.5 mm. mercury gauge and the temperature raised to 270 C. After a further 1 /2 hours a high viscous melt is obtained which solidifies after cooling to a lightly yellowish clear plastic with a softening point of 225240 C.
Example 3 A mixture of 45.4 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4'-dihydroxy 3,5,3,5 tetra chloro diphenylene) propane bis-(fl-hydroxyethyl ether) (melting point 117-118 C.), 22.0 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate, and 0.002 part by weight of lithium hydride is melted under stirring and while passing through purified nitrogen. The bulk of the phenol split off is then distilled off at a temperature of 180200 C. and the pressure then reduced to 50 mm. mercury gauge within 1 hour. Within a further hour the pressure is slowly reduced to 0.3 mm. mercury gauge and the temperature increased to 250 C. and within a further hour to 270 C. while stirring. One obtains a viscous melt. After cooling the melt solidifies to a clear, transparent, almost colourless plastic with a K-value of 45.2, measured in a 0.5 percent methylene chloride solution at 20 C. The softening point is 170190 C. The product is soluble for instance in methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene and toluene. From sdlution for instance in methylene chloride or from the melt there may be produced films, fibres, and moulded articles. The mechanical properties of such articles may be increased by stretching.
Example 4 A mixture of 18.95 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4-dihydroxy 3,5,3',5 tetra bromo diphenylene) propane bis-(fi-hydroxyethyl-ether) (melting point 104-105 C.), 22.13 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4-dihydroxy-diphenylene)-propane-bis-(fl-hydroxyethylether) and 21.80 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate is melted under stirring and while passing through purified nitrogen. The heating is continued at 50 mm. mercury gauge for /2 hour at 180 C. and for a further /2 hours at 200 C. while distilling off the phenol split off. During a further hour the pressure is reduced to 0.5 mm. mercury gauge and the temperature raised to 250 C. The heating is continued until a 'viscous melt is obtained. After cooling the viscous melt a plastic is obtained with the soften ing point of 160170 C.
Example 5 A mixture of 40.86 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4-dihycyclohexane bis (B hydroxyethylether) (melting point 129--130 C.), 21.80 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate and 0.001 part by weight of lithium hydride is polycondensed as described in Example 4. After cooling one obtains a thermoplastic material with the softening point of ISO-205 C. It may be worked up to films, fibres and moulded articles from the melt or from a solution.
Example 6 A mixture of 36.32 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4'-dihydroxy 3,5,3,5 tetra-chloro diphenylene)-propanebis-(fi-hydroxyethylether), 6.32 parts by weight of 2,2- (4,4'-di-hydroxy-diphenylene) propane-bis (fi-hydroxyethylether), 21.80 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate and 0.0005 part by weight of lithium hydride is polycondensed as described in Example 4. The so obtained plastic has a softening point of 160-180C.
Example 7 A mixture of 36.32 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4-dihydroxy-3,5,3',5-tetra-chloro-diphenylene) propane-bis- (B-hydroxy-ethylether), 9.62 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4- dihydroxy-3,5,3',5' tetra-chlorodiphenylene) propanebis-(,B-hydroxypropylether), 21.80 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate and 0.0005 part by weight of lithium hydride is polycondensed as described in Example 4 to a plastic with a softening point of 148160C. It has a very good solubility and is suitable particularly for the production of lacquers and coatings.
Example 8 A mixture of 30.5 parts by weight of bis-ethylcarbonate of the 2,2-(4,4'-dihydroxy-3,5,3',5-tetra-chloro-diphenylene) -propane-bis-( ,B-hydroxyethylether), 22.7 parts by weight of 2,2-(4,4'-dihydroxy-3,5,3,5'-tetra-chlorodiphenylene)propane-bis-(,B-hydroxyethylether) a n d 0.001 part by weight of lithium hydride is melted under stirring and while passing through purified nitrogen. While heating for 2 hours the bulk of the ethanol split off is distilled off. Then the pressure is slowly reduced to 0.5 mm. mercury gauge and the temperature raised to 260C, and the heating is continued until a viscous melt is obtained. The properties of the resulting polycarbonate correspond to those of the product of Example 3.

Start a new week part two
For some silly reason the last topic would not show a post window....so in answer to Punks request I have enclosed a picture of our pond. As you can or can't see, we are still working in the yard. Today was perfect for working in the yard and I removed all of the rocks from the right side of the stream and cleaned out all of the remaining silt, but tired, so tomorrow I will replace all that remain. I still have the side bed to clean and replace all of the lava rocks. I like the lava rock for the color. I get so tired of browns which you get with stones or bark, although I have both.
Anyway, the pond looks a little brown which is natural plus the fact that we have only one pump running because of all the babies, the other pump swallows them. So far we have had 3 batch of eggs hatch.
As I can't go back and read the last postings, I hope everyone is well and it is nice to see both Punk and Franksmom back with us. FM glad you have that kind of heat, ours is bad enough. Punk....wow that's big hail! We have had a series of lightning storms on the East side of the Mts and lots of fires.
Luvs...your signs are so neat! :) I gotta save for one of those machines!!! And all of the Halloween cutouts....fall is coming soon.
Gotta run, we are cooking out tonight, take care all
Belle, your pond is beautiful and I love the natural look you have around it. Are your water lillies easy to keep alive? I use clorox in our water works to keep them clean looking so can't have anything alive. I put some duck decoys in one this year to add some color.LOL
Luvs signs are so darn cute and I think I need a circut to add to some of my stemware. I started painting some with blue roses for a TS tablescape and will bake them so I will be able to wash them.
Anj, are you feeling better yet?
KM, hope you are getting your room finished w/o to much tiring work. I haven't redone a room for quite awhile but need to get going and keep things modernized.
We are starting to get ready for the fair we set up at every year. Will be spending any free time I find on packing freight up. This year will end up with all our sales for Sept. so hope we end up with good sales for this month. We are still trying to buy land and build but it's so expensive that it kinda scares me.
We had a wonderful Prime Rib dinner with friends this evening. I have never cooked one and probably never will if she keeps inviting us over to eat with them every time she cooks one. She had fixed a pineapple dessert that was light and so good. I'll have to ask for the recipe.
I set a new table so will close and try to get it posted over on the Holiday forum.
Belle,what a lovely pond, I really love how you have the little wooden dock and all the pretty plants. I can certainly see how you would get allot of enjoyment sitting out there enjoying it.
Punk, so good to hear from you. Prime rib really does sound good, haven't had any for quite awhile. I've only cooked it once, did a thing a friend gave me about heating up the oven, putting the prime rib in and then turning off the oven and not opening the door until x amount of time had passed. It wasn't as well done as I like it, but DH and DS and DIL loved it! I'd just as soon go buy the whole meal! LOL
What are you thinking about buying land for? Did you get your parents place sold or are you still renting it out? Are you opening more business locations? Hope you do great at the fair.
Beautiful pond area Belle. I know they are lots of work since my brother has one. It's always a work in progress. ha
Sounds like ya'll are having fun with family and friends. We went on a little fishing trip last weekend and we are planning a camping trip for this last weekend before school starts. Getting ready for that. I'm not big on camping but my kids love it so....the things we do.
I have started a new project. It's a Halloween project that I'm doing for a thank you for my SIL for letting us stay with them. She LOVES Halloween. I found a 3 pack of canvases for $3 at the TS a while back so painting it on one of those and will get her a little easel to prop it on. Hope she'll like it. I'm also doing a couple of other little projects to go in the thank you package. ha I'll show pics before I mail them off. So I'm busy busy as usual.
Luvs....We finally got new mattresses! ha You know how long I've been talking about needing new ones! ha Slept for the first nite on it last night and ahhhhh! Too bad my dog woke me up 7 times to go out last night. Tonight she is sleeping in her kennel!
I don't have much to say just wanted to check in with ya'll. I just had a minute while I was eating my brunch. I will talk to ya'll soon! ~Anj
Hi, tried to post earlier and couldn't get through on here. Guess it's working now.
Luvs, we still own the parents place but still rent our businesses so are hoping to move up and own them someday. I had a real estate gal drop by today and she hasn't had her office open for months so may be willing to rent it. It is so expensive to try to buy land and build. We may have to do one thing at a time.
Anj, good to hear from you. Sounds like you are making the kids lives as fun as possible before school starts. I love camping but know it isn't everyones bag.
Hope that new matress continues to help you sleep better. DD just returned her new Simmons and went back to her old one. It was a king and just wasn't holding up like it should. She thinks most of the king size will be like that. They paid $1800 for her old one one sale and love it but its a queen. I would never pay that much for one.
Good idea to put the dog in the kennel and get a good nights sleep before you head camping. Do you have a camper or use a tent when camping? I'm a little spoiled with having a cabin and toy hauler to sleep in. The last time I slept in a tent it rained all night and I woke up cold and wet while the others in the cabin had a good nights sleep.
Glad to hear you will be posting some pictures of your new projects.
I'll try to get something finished to share soon. Punk
Oh Boy if this isn't a first in a while (me coming here and being the last one who posted). Am I on top of things or what? Hope you are busy painting and taking pictures to share!
I made homemade spaghetti sauce in the crockpot today so dinner was easy and gave me more time to be on here. I took out burger for tomorrow night so we can BBQ before it gets to cold. It's getting down to low 50's at night so fall is coming fast.
I'm behind again on my on line training so maybe this is your way of helping me stay focused and caught up. Will start some training and check back later.
Hi All, everyone must be really busy. I spent Sat. yard saling and shopping. Today I packed the truck full to take to the TS.LOL I have grown from size 1 to 8-10 so have alot of clothes to share with others. I still have alot of baby items and toys from DGD and want to get them to a new home also. It's funny how we think the kids need all these neat toys and then we give them away.
I also got some house cleaning and laundry caught up. I am going to have a new sattelite system installed this week so have to have things sparklin' clean. Maybe I should do this every week.haha
We are still getting things ready for the fair so got a few things packed to the toy hauler today also. Need to go get the water shut off so will close and check back soon. I didn't get any training done so best work harder on that this coming week.
Hi All,
Punk, I don't mean to leave you here chatting all alone. I've forgotten to click over here to see what's going on.
I've got a few wood pieces ready for a design, but haven't gotten started on one yet. I've also played around with the Cricut some more--made some cute little Halloween cutouts.
Hope you get the training all out of the way soon--don't you hate it when things like that are on your mind needing to be done.
That's how my vines or my block wall are for me--always needing to be worked on, and I can only do them a section at a time because I fill up all the trash cans and get too tired.
Hope Anj and Belle are doing okay and having some summer fun. Hard to believe our summer will soon be over already!
My son and his family get home tomorrow night from Costa Rica, I will be relieved to have them home safe and sound again.
Have fun all,
I see that not only have I been gone far to long but my last post didn't post......small temper tantrum :)
Thank you all for the nice review of my pond. It may be some..well more than some work, but it is well worth the effort.
Punk...the water lilies are so simple to grow. Your pond or water area just need to be at least 24" deep....the freezing thing, although mine froze solid one year while outside of the pond and they still survived. You might try algae fix instead of bleach to keep your water works clear and clean. Then you can have flowers or plants.
If you love Prime Rib (and who doesn't)you need to try it baked in rock salt. You loose no juices at all and it is so tender.....OK I'm hungry!
I also thought I wouldn't every spend big bucks on a mattress, then we got a temporpedic, and forget the bucks, now DH leg movements don't keep me awake all night....AH! I also have less legs and knee pain which helps me forget the cost. I hope Anj mattress help her as well.
We have very strange weather here. It can be in the 90's by day and down to 55 at night. Rarely does it stay hot at night, which is really nice. Today is supposed to be our last day of 90's plus, I sure hope so!!!!! Yesterday it was 97 and when I went outside at about 7 PM it was like someone put bricks on my chest.
Anj....you have your dog, we have Simba, our male cat. He has started yowling at night and unless you talk to him he will keep it up. He has been banished to the mud room several time.
Luvs....like you I have been over on the side catching up, my you all have been busy.
I have had a whirl wind couple of weeks. My SIL's father had a stroke and I have been taking care of the kids she day cares, 4 year old twin girls, a boy 10 and a 13 yr old girl, and then her Mom had a heart attack and she had to fly to CA., so I also cared for her DF when he came home. Thank goodness the kids are very well behaved! But, I am worn out! Now I need to catch up on everything here at home and the weeds have taken over my flower beds. So...when is vacation----OH! I'm retired!
Gotta run...well walk, the dryer just dinged....who ever was silly enough to put a bell on a washer or dryer.....I don't want to know they are done, it just means I have to get moving!
Take Care and stay cool!

G8 tax pledges: a positive start but some way to go
Ahead of the Group of Eight Summit in Northern Ireland on 17-18 June, UNA-UK called on the G8 to take decisive action on tax dodging.
National taxes are a crucial source of predictable funding for countries trying to combat hunger. But across the developing world, multinational corporations employ a number of schemes - many of them legal - to avoid paying taxes in developing countries.
Over 300 UNA-UK members and supporters signed our 'open letter' to G8 leaders, urging them to combat tax avoidance and evasion, and work with developing countries in building their capacity to tackle hunger and raise and deploy taxes effectively.
Specifically, we called for G8 leaders to:
- Ratify the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, and press tax havens within their jurisdiction as well as developing countries, to do so too
- Develop voluntary guidelines to promote higher standards of transparency and accountability among multinational corporations
- Work with developing countries to support better tax infrastructure and governance, and make this a priority in international development policies
Our members and supporters also joined millions around the world in adding their names to petitions on this issue by the IF Campaign coalition, of which UNA-UK is a member.
G8 tax pledges - a step in the right direction but more work needed
The G8 Communiqué includes a commitment to "establish the automatic exchange of information between tax authorities as the new global standard", and to support the development of a "multilateral model" to help goverments to find and punish tax evaders and tackle tax avoidance through base erosion and profit shifting.
It also promises support for developing countries in terms of access to tax information, and the publication of national action plans on increasing transparency on company ownership and profits.
These pledges are an important step in the right direction and UNA-UK commends the UK Prime Minister for his successful efforts to put tax transparency and tackling hunger and malnutrition on the G8 agenda.
The UK has also made real progress in securing commitments from all its crown dependencies and overseas territories to be bound by the Convention, and in releasing its own action plan to "prevent misuse of companies and legal arrangements".
On "beneficial ownership" too, the UK managed to make headway, with Canada, France, Italy and the US joining it in agreeing to set up registers. This is potentially the most important commitment made, as it targets shell companies which are often linked to aggressive tax dodging and criminal practices.
But much more remains to be done.
While the G8 called on the OECD to draft a template for multinational companies to report on tax to

Babcock After The Morning Skate
by Paul on 04/27/13 at 02:35 PM ET
Comments (1)
At the end of the interview, Babcock brought up a very good point, stating in a normal season the Wings play some games in the East which allows them to "freshen" up a bit.
But as we know there was no time to freshen up with all the games against the West which brought about some brutal travel.

Paul, thanks for keeping TMR up when George is down.

62 and sunny, wish it were Saturday
Finally I can take everything out for a couple of hours and give them a good rinsing. We finally hit the 60s today for the 1st time since fall. I wish this had hit Saturday so I could give everything a full day of sun. Unfortunately reality hits in a couple of days and While Saturday is supposed to be sunny it is only supposed to be in the mid 40s.
The weather was beautiful here today too. I got about 25% of my plants outside and the ones that are out will be staying outside tonight so they can enjoy some 70sF tomorrow! Then the weekend looks rainy and in the 50s like it has been for much of the month, but I would have that over whats to come next week. Its only going to be in the 40sF from Wednesday on. One day is only going to be 43F which is 10F-15F below average! Still no freezes at night in the forecast fortunately, but with that kind of cold, most of the potted plants will definitely be inside. 2 weeks from today and it will be April and I should be starting to take the plants outside by then!
Lugged the BIG P. canariensis out a few days ago along with the BIG Med. fan. Looks great already! Sometimes, I wish this was all there was to the collection--getting to be a lot of work--especially THIS time of the year (and the FALL). Tracycarpus outside (unprotected) had a hard year, but thank goodness, I notice they are beginning to grow new spears and did not pull. 70-75 tomorrow and the sun beginning to feel hot. Also see some green coloring in the weeping willows around here. Erin go bragh!
topped out at 67 yesterday. I got my two coconuts and two bottle palms out for about 5 hours. I woke up at 3:00 this morning and it was 62 still. 51 and sunny right now. I think they all got a ggod cleaning as I was able to reaaly rince them and it was quite windy. it was nice wearing shorts for the 1st time since fall.
We got to a beautiful 66F yesterday, but its already about 66F here today and there's still a good 3 hours before we reach the warmest part of the day. It really feels warm outside today. Their are some wasps and other bugs outside today and even though I'm not crazy about bugs, at least they show how warm it really is. My palms are loving it outside, but I dont want them to see the 50s tomorrow so they will be going in tonight (with the exception of a few. My banana plants are actually pushing a new leaf while outside. I cant wait until the weather is this nice every day! The forecast looks a bit better than it did yesterday. Only one or 2 days will be in the 40s and both those days are going to get up to 49F which is cold, but not the 43F that was forecasted yesterday for next week. April is just around the corner and if its anything like last April, the plants will all be outside in 2 more weeks!
Same here. It was in the 90s and the night temperatures didnt get out of the 60s! Really amazing April we had last year! I hope its the same this year but that doesnt look like the case. But today made it to about 80F here and it was actually shorts weather (maybe even pool weather) so I was very happy and the plants were too! The crocus, cherries, daffodils, forsynthias, and a few other plants are in bloom now. The Saucer magnolias are very close to blooming.
I got some sugar cane and taro from an Asian Market nearby. I hope I can get some plants to grow out of it. Not a bad day for the plants. The 55F in the forecast tomorrow is going to feel freezing cold compared to the past 2 days but in reality is typical March weather. No more really above average days in the forecast here and a few days will be about 5F below average.
Near 80 F. here too (79 F.). I see the cool down but at least it looks sunny--hate those long, dreary, cloudy streaks in early Spring. Those really cool temps are in the extended forecast and maybe they will moderate it as the week goes on. I might plant some Needles tomorrow (to replace a dead Butia), and start fertilizing the acid-lovers (hollies and camellias), but I hurt my back recently so will not be bringing any big plants out this weekend anyway. Who knows what the Spring and Summer will bring!?--(Suspect it'll be hot and dry again though.) Locally, Star magnolias (Magnolia stellata), daffodils, and crocus are out. TZ., both sugar cane and taro are easy to grow from the grocery store.
Thanks for the encouragement on those NJ! I cut up the sugar cane (the sugar cane was 5 feet long!) and I have them by an extremely warm window rooting in water. I have the taro in a pot by the same warm window also. I washed them really well first just incase they had something on them to prevent them from growing. I'll let you know how it works out and if they make a nice sized plant, it would have been a great price because they were very cheap!
I took most of my large plants inside, but it was getting to be too much to do in one day so I left the rest outside and hopefully they wont get POed by the 44F forecasted tonight. Right now its dark and cooling down, but I must admit, its still very nice outside!

Okay, so Kayle was probably the second or third Champ I played when I started, not counting Ashe in tutorial. At first, I got owned brutally, by not knowing that her W shouldn't be used as a speed boost when allies are dying, and I didn't know what lane means, last-hit was a mystery... Second game I did great, but I doubt it was my help - Tiamat sounded like a cool item, you know, with splash damage and all. Still thought Kayle was a fighter. Didn't play her for almost 2 months.
Today, I gave her a shot. team of Xin Zhao, Vieger, Twisted Fate, Warwick and me. I took top with Xin, TF had mid and WW bot, Veiger was an ******* that joined the game AFK and woke up after 15 minutes.
We were up against Gankplank and Udyr. First kill by my Xin, supported by my Q within 3 minutes. We held them back, sometimes I had to stay while Xin helped WW defend bot. After scoring about 70% of our team's 35 kills (I was 8-2-17), Veiger who joined 10 minutes ago suggested doing Baron. Ulted Xin, helped kill him... and 5 minutes later we roflstomped the enemy team. They had Gankplank, Udyr, Ashe, Olaf and Nidalee, so they should at least put up a fight...
Okay, /gloating, Kayle is awesome and can carry the entire team to an easy win even when in disadvantage.
Yar, Kayle is just deadly. Bordering on the OP line, in my opinion. A low cooldown, long range, decent damage slow plus a heal which doubles as a speed boost PLUS a skill that increases damage and makes you into a ranged carry is just ridiculous and add on the ult which is a short invulnerability for you or a teammates makes Kayle a force to be reckoned with.
One of my favorite champs.
Grab Guinsoos, Nashors, Hextech, and the game is over.
i played kayle before the rework
i played kayle after the rework, and got the viridian skin right after (was going to get unmasked, but they didn't change the skin enough for me to warrent it)
but i still like Taric better, less damage, but way more support
Taric can't hard carry a team. Kayle isn't just a support champ. Taric is mainly support, Kayle is mainly damage that, through building him with the right carry items, can support nearly as much as Janna.
Ya she's hot.
Ofc you fell in love with her she is ****ing beautifull and an actuall angel.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
With recent engagement and 3 Grammy nominations, Kelly Clarkson is feeling 'Stronger'
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Kelly Clarkson says she's extremely happy she's nominated for three Grammy Awards, but there's something else the pop singer is more thrilled about: her recent engagement.
"I couldn't even find someone to go on a date with that I enjoyed their company. Like, it was just rough," she said in a recent interview.
"You don't see it coming. And it sounds cheesy and it sounds like a movie, but it is that though. One day you'll meet them and everything will change."
Clarkson, who calls Nashville, Tenn., her home, is celebrating her one-year anniversary with fiance Brandon Blackstock. (The couple, who have been dating for a year, became engaged in December.) The 30-year-old says she's still surprised she's become that "cheesy" girl and that she wasn't sure she would find true love.
"I always made fun of those people that were like, 'Oh, I met the one. He's amazing,' and I'm like, 'Oh my god, go write a song,'" said Clarkson, the first "American Idol," laughing. "He's like my best friend, and he's someone I want to hang out with all the time."
Blackstock, who manages country star Blake Shelton, will be by Clarkson's side when she attends the Grammys, to be presented Feb. 10 in Los Angeles. Her No. 1 hit, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," is nominated for record of the year and best pop solo performance.
"I knew from the moment I heard it that it was going to be huge," she said of her feel-good anthem, which is also up for song of the year (awarded to the writers of the song, which doesn't include Clarkson). "I've heard everything from 'I got out of an abusive relationship' to 'I'm surviving cancer' ... and I think everyone in the world needs that type of song — something that makes you feel empowered."
Her fifth album, "Stronger," is nominated for best pop vocal album. She said she's starting to record her next album and the sound could be a reflection of her relationship with Blackstock.
"I am totally writing cheesy songs," she said. "Maybe he'll piss me off and I'll write a record about that."
She's also busy planning her wedding.
"I don't understand why we aren't eloping," she said. "It's a lot of details and I'm not that girl. I've never been that girl that's like, 'Oh my god, my wedding dress. Blah, blah, blah.'"

Annabel from Mackay, ID – Verified Buyer
Purchased this combo due to the rack. Handles are hard to grip at times, love the rack but after cooking, the pan drippings all stick. Its back in the storage, going back to my old covered roaster.
