if ya'll havnt been to miboards lately they just added some very exciting news about our bride heres the link.
go check it out, its realli intresting
pshhh i guess
now THAT would definitely be the best time to use a "live" voice for the bride like Crush or Roz...
"Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light is breaking through
So thank you very little and send me postcards from hell"
OMG, How Spooky would that be! Using the voice like Crush! That would totally freak me out. I must ride the new version when it is done. He hee

Interesting that the date on the blog is from January. Surprising no one noticed this earlier?
It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!
Brillant! I cant wait!
I do not think this will happen, they have not done everything else they said they would.
^ if you had done some research you would know that the new things aren't slated to be put in untill later this year They couldn't of had HM and POTC closed at the same time, so they had to sacrifce putting HM elements in right away
I just hope that SOMETHING actually gets improved there...
well as of this past weekend the mansion as changed quit a bit. the loading area for some reason is still a little bit bright but seems a lot more spooky. and the sceans room look alot more realistic and the attic is pretty much bare. all of the pop up heads have been taken out. looks like somethings about to happen!Originally Posted by Redsix
pshhh i guess
It sounds like a great concept!
Will trade husband for Disneyland and DCA Pins!
That is cool.
I can't wait for these changes! Disneyland is a-buzz!
Well, light travels from the sun. Then, bounces off of our planet, and back into our eyes so we can perceive color. My body can intercept that light and dance around on it!

"This exquisitely designed and illustrated retelling is a lush interpretation
of Andersen's tale." — THE HORN BOOK
A National Council of Teachers of English
Notable Children's Book in the Language Arts
"Elaborate, harmonious watercolors pay homage to the flat style of Chinese brush paintings with iconic fidelity. . . . Mitchell's language is light and melodic." — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
"Mitchell's version stays close to the original, with an added punch of satire. . . . Even if there are already several editions of the story on the shelf, consider this for its fresh, lively language and for Ibatoulline's stunning paintings." — BOOKLIST
Stephen Mitchell is a widely renowned writer, translator, and anthologist. His thirty books for adults and children include translations of Jesus, Rilke, Genesis, and Job, and his version of the TAO TE CHING has sold more than half a million copies. Of this retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's famous tale, he says, "THE NIGHTINGALE is one of the most charming stories ever written. I have tried to make my version light, clear, swift, and funny." This is Stephen Mitchell's first book with Candlewick Press.
Bagram Ibatoulline (pronounced E'bat'too-LEEN) was born in Russia
and graduated from the State Academic Institute of Arts in Moscow. He is the illustrator of the acclaimed CROSSING, a picture book edition of a vintage poem by Philip Booth, and has worked in the fields of fine arts, graphic arts, mural design, and textile design. He says of THE NIGHTINGALE, "It has always been one of my favorite stories. While illustrating the book, I paid close attention to the tale's delicate story line and tried to portray its nature."

In a study, participants who consumed cocoa flavanols through dark chocolate and a cocoa drink exhibited improved heart muscle. "Our hypothesis is that cocoa, as a food naturally concentrated in flavanols, may not only neutralize high oxidative stress condition, but also have specific and beneficial actions on important control system pathways in muscle tissue," said researcher Francisco Villarreal.

Book recommendation
I love to read to improve my parenting skills. And since I have few people to discuss things with I really rely on books.
What I'm looking for now is something you or others have found valuable in dealing with pre-teenagers and teenagers. Thanks for all ideas!
I don't know if you have Guys or Dolls! LOL But "The Care and Keeping of You, The Body Book for Girls" from the American Girl Library is pretty nice. It's actually for you and your daughter. She reads it and then you discuss what she's read.
"So You Want to be a Teenager" is another I've heard is pretty good. I don't know who it's by though.
Good luck!
Andy, you have preteens? You NEED:
Here is a link that might be useful: *How to Talk* at Amazon.com
Oops, haven't been here for a while. Thank you both.
Kris, I've got two BOYS, LOL. But I'll check out the other title.
Talley, hi. My copy of that book is about 8 years old now. I too would recommend it to anyone with kids. Or a spouse. Or a parent. Sound insights and advice. (BTW I saw you're a copy editor--so was I a long time ago!)
Since I can already see chamges in our 12 yo I thought now is a good time to read up. As I said, I don't have many people to talk to and I really enjoy a good book anyway.

In late August, bills were introduced before the Wisconsin Legislature to ban the acquisition and utilization of "fetal body parts." These bills would make it a crime for Wisconsin researchers to use cells derived from certain fetal tissue.
I find it incomprehensible that anyone would promote legislation that would effectively put an end to the innovative research being done in institutions such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Medical College of Wisconsin.
This legislation, by pushing talented and innovative researchers out of Wisconsin, is a double-edged sword. First, it will send good-paying jobs and businesses elsewhere. Second, it will further contribute to the brain drain our state has fought to combat in recent years.
Research at UW-Madison has resulted in the creation of 283 start-up companies in our state, which support more than 21,000 jobs. At a time when so much rhetoric and political effort is being placed on job creation in Wisconsin, this legislation is nothing more than a job killer.
Promoting the promise of scientific research has been a bipartisan effort in our state. Since 2000, over $500 million has been dedicated to providing researchers with top-of-the-line facilities on UW-Madison campus.
Former Gov. Tommy Thompson pioneered the BioStar Initiative at UW-Madison. This initiative was a 10-year plan to modernize the biosciences campus and provide state-of-the-art facilities to train scientists and researchers. Out of the BioStar Initiative, we now have the Biotechnology Center, which houses the Genome Center of Wisconsin; a modern Microbial Sciences Building for research in microbiology and immunology; and a top-notch biochemistry facility.
Former Gov. Jim Doyle continued the commitment to promoting research with his efforts to fund and develop the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery and the Interdisciplinary Research Complex at UW-Madison. The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery was designed to provide research facilities to combine biology, bioinformatics, computer science, engineering, nanotechnology and other fields in one setting. The Interdisciplinary Research Complex, adjacent to the UW Hospital, encourages unique gatherings of scientists with varied backgrounds with the ability to address urgent health problems of common concern.
The state has made a very significant commitment in the past decade to provide world-class facilities to attract the top scientists. It is contrary to that commitment to promote policy such as the fetal body parts ban. It sends a message to researchers that innovation is not welcome in Wisconsin. UW-Madison researchers bring in more than $1 billion annually from out of state for their efforts.
These bills do not suggest that Wisconsin is "open for business." These bills say, "Wisconsin: closed to progress."
Sen. Fred Risser (D-Madison) represents the 26th Senate District, which includes the UW campus.

I have noticed on my variegated pink lemon tree that there is this unusual 8 in branch that is just completely white. All the other leaves on the tree are the usual variegated green and white which forces this "albino branch" to really stand out. I have two questions:
1) is the appearance of this albino branch a usual occurrence on variegated lemon trees?
2) if this is is truly an unusual occurrence could the branch be cut off and grafted onto a different rootstock to produce an "albino lemon tree?"
Here is the picture below, I took it this morning and the sun was in a bad position, but you can get the idea.
It happens occasionally on variegated plants. It can't survive on its own grafted because it has no chlorophyll and will die.
That is just a characteristic that some variegated plants put off at times. I would not call it rare. Variegated plants are usually less susceptible to insect damage, which in the case of a citrus tree you will have less to little issues with leaf miner damage. On the other hand, it needs the green pigment to photosynthesize for survival. With no "green", you will have an issue with chlorophyll and the ability of photosyntheis so there is no benefit to try and produce an "all white" plant. The all white branch will have issues itself as it would be not only susceptible to being scorched by the bright light but will struggle to survive. It would eventually be doomed for survival since it cannot photosynthesize to make food. There is no way the tree would have the ability to provide the energy to produce any fruit on the all white branch.
For these same reasons, I would not even consider trying to produce an all white tree.
I would not waste the time to try and practice your grafting with this as it will just bring your success percentages down. Without the ability of photosynthesis to occur (no chlorophyll/green pigment), the graft would be destined for failure.
Another possibility is the double graft it, with the white portion being in the middle. It would then give you a portion of the tree that is "albino" and with a green portion at the distal end, you might get enough photosynthates to keep it alive. I'm with Ethan, why not give it a shot?
fruit guy, need some education on horticulture...the all white portion will not be able to survive.
fruit guy - didn't mean to be rude, but no matter what you do, the all white branch, or albino as you call it, can not photosynthesize not matter what other branches you graft around it.
Joe - trust me, you are better off practicing your grafting with material at least has a chance from the beginning.
bsbullie, I am simply theorizing here, I do not have any empirical evidence to suggest that this technique would be successful, however my thinking is as such: All plants have "sources" and "sinks", areas that generate photosynthates and areas that utilize them, respectively. (A fruit is an example of a sink.) If one were to graft the all white portion onto a branch, or even a rootstock, and then secondarily graft a source, or a branch with cholorphyll on top of that, then there is the potential for the sugars to pass through the white portion and be utilitized as necessary for growth. Will it actually work? I have no idea. I've never heard of it being done before. That's why it would be important to try it. Somebody has to be first.
I know a place I could stick a branch of that tree that would get enough nutrition that it wouldnt need photosynthesis, which ironically is a good thing because it wouldnt be getting sun there anyway! No rudeness intended! (even though its DEAD rude!)
fruit guy- it could possibly work the double graft idea, as it stands right now the albino branch is thriving even without being able to make its own chlorophyll because it is getting it from the rest of the plant i guess which it still would be doing if it was double grafted. Its just too bad because I think an albino lemon tree would be a really neat specimen.
I wish I was an expert in horticulture myself, but instead I am just a pharmacist with a new hobby and interest in growing fresh tropical fruit.
thanks for everyone's input.
JoeP450, it all likelihood the albino branch will eventually die off, but by the same token, that is not a certainty. Theorizing again, while the branch is still small, there is not as much of an energy expense in transporting sugars to keep the cells alive, but as it continues to grow, it will probably reach a point where it becomes unsustainable. The thought behind the double graft is that, if sucessful, the sugars would have to be transported through the white portion, bringing down that transport cost considerably.
I'm sure that there are similarities between horticulture and pharmacology. I would speculate that to become a pharmacologies, you would have taken several chemistry/biochemistry courses, all of which will serve you well in horticulture. The best part of horticulture over pharmacology is that you can experiment and try different things and at worst you lose a plant. lol
And IMHO, most people who call themselves experts are full of bs!
JoeP450 and FruitGuy,
I think that the albino double graft idea seems like it could possibly work. I am not sure of what the benefit would be but it would be cool to get a fruit from an albino branch if possible. Instead of being striped it may be entirely yellowish white when immature.
The way that may work best is to first graft on a regular branch onto the albino branch as it is attached to the main tree. This way when you go to graft the white branch there is a green branch on the top of the albino branch producing energy. It may take a long time to see the finished product but it would be worth it if you could get the double graft the work.

Tummy Tuck Jeans
These jeans intrigue me due to the tummy tuck feature. I don't have much of a tummy, but I would like it flat :-) Has anyone tried these type of jeans? I feel the price is a bit high for jeans.
Here is a link that might be useful: tummy tuck jeans
Hi, I have a pair of these. The material is *very* stretchy, but not that controlling. Inside the jeans are reinforcement areas that actually don't do much at all. I loved these the first wearing - nice, long & lean looking and very comfortable, but the material seemed to relax a bit too much after the first washing. Can't stand having to pull up my jeans after sitting... I was disappointed.
I haven't worn my Levi's in 2 years. When the waistband started to fold over I knew it was time to say adios. Stretch is fine in some things, but not in jeans. And, IMO, if you have to consider a saggy crotch you've gone too far. Let it be and move on to something more body friendly.
Cindy, if you haven't checked out the new "stretch" denin, you'll find that the stretch feature is not your grandma's jean material but is in many cases, a barely perceptible bit of give. I have both stretch denin jeans and the regular kind and the difference is very slight. In fact I think the regular denim jeans I have from Gap bag out while I wear them worse than the stretch ones.

No application necessary for 2012 fall turkey hunt
Starting this year, Minnesota turkey hunters may purchase a license over-the-counter to hunt the fall season wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said.
No lottery application will be necessary. Hunters still must declare a turkey permit area when purchasing a license, and they are restricted to hunting that area.

Port Sanilac Rentals(15)

Recent Port Sanilac Reviews
Perfect hangout, winter or summer
Just had another fantastic weekend getaway with 11 of my close friends at the house on the lake... Every time we have been here, its been such a relaxing time! The house lives up to the pictures, and it is very well cared for - its the first rental I've used more than once where things are obviously being upgraded/improved each time. The owner is super easy to deal with, and very responsive if you need anything - like figuring out the hot tub controls, or how to turn on the outside sound system. The water is so close you can sit inside and sip a beverage while watching your kids splash around. The views of the lake are magnificent as a result... and the town of Port Sanilac is close enough that you can walk if you need something from the store. I've rented ~20 vacation homes in the past decade, and this one is by far the best value (and friendliest owner) I have come across.
Amazing home away from home. We will be regulars!
We are a family of 5 and 1 darling little bichon. We took 2 family friends and their families for New Year Eve and New Year Day celebration and stayed 4 days/3 nights on this wonderful property. Everything was provided and met our high expectations. We have kids all ages range from 2 years old to 16 years old and all our kids have a fun time indoor-pool and ping pong tables, and outdoor-super clean beach. All of us adults (half of us chefs) enjoyed the spacious property and the 2 kitchens with everything you need, if not more than you need. (We cooked 3 times a day prepping International dishes such as seafood paella, boeuf bourguignon, Hawaiian meatball, and grilled gourmet burger etc. for 18 of us and there are more than enough plates bowls glasses and cutleries). Convinience for us parents to simply lb ring our kids, food and drink supply since linens, towels, cleaning product, laundry products, basic toileteris are provided!!! All the bedrooms are comfortable and we all enjoyed our bathrooms. High speed Wifi make things more convenient for us adults too. It is truly home away from home. We are thinking of going back this Spring and Summer and possibly end of the year NYE & NYD celebration once again!!!
Excellent house for a big group!
What a wonderful house for a large family or friends gathering! The many bedrooms and beds were perfect for making our group comfortable and the kitchen is big and well stocked. The house is on a beautiful lot with birch woods, lots of green space, and the gorgeous lake front beach. It's not near much in the way of shopping or restaurants, but the owners were wonderful with communication, so we were prepared with our own supplies. The check out instructions were clear and very reasonable. All in all, this was the perfect getaway from it all!

If I'm at the Wrong Forum, Just Tell Me
Hello! I am a comedian and I love gardening. I am also an Illegal Secretary and a Master Gardener-to-be (only a few thousand more volunteer hours to go). This is my first time at the Garden Writers Forum, so cut me some slack. I'm a Zone 5 (some say 6) flower gardener.
If anyone's reading this, I actually do have a matter I'd like some feedback on. (Never end a sentence with a preposition.) One of the ways I will be earning some credit hours is by being a Judge at a neighborhood landscaping contest! I'm very excited about this.
Having no experience except in judging my own gardens, how would you make your decision? This is what I'm thinking. My criteria would include (not necessarily in this order) the overall upkeep of the property, the health of plants, shrubs and trees, use of color and color combinations, design and creativity, and how the landscaping relates to the architecture of the house. What else should I be looking for?
Thanks for listening. I'd be honored if you'd read My Page.
Marlene in Michigan
Just be sure the neighbors you borrow stuff from place highly. Also, take bribes. It isn't fair, but it's profitable! In all seriousness, sounds to me like your criteria is fine, have at it. Fifty different folks are gonna have fifty different opinions on what works, so go with your gut.
Hostarata, do you realize what you're stepping into? Who's going to take a comedian's opinion seriously? You're only going to make a lot of people angry, who think you picked THAT awful garden because you were trying to be funny.
I'd almost get rid of the color and form categories. Can you imagine the problems you're going to have with the Americans with Disabilities Act if you use those criteria on a garden designed by a color-blind gardener? We're talking lawsuits here, possibly jail time. Comedians are not viewed well in jail, except for a fun time.
Here's a test for you:
There's a thread somewhere on this site that is some 12,000 entries long that discusses all the 'proper' color schemes, which colors belong next to one another and all those details that I am sure studpossum takes to heart. If you can post there with your opinion on what constitutes award winning color combinations, and have the rest of the posters congratulate you on your astuteness, then you may be safe including that category.
Stud is right. Go with your gut. I view a garden as an artwork. Does it strike me? When I walk through it, am I constantly wondering what is around the next corner or do I feel as if I have seen it all in the first 30 seconds?
When I view a painting, or read a piece, I donÂt judge its effectiveness based on brushstrokes or grammar. My first reaction, of being pulled into the piece or not, is what I use to determine if it worked.
Lastly, when you get to announcing the winner just imagine them all gardening in their underwear.
Thanks for your input. Even though I may be funny (that's debatable), I would take a gardening contest seriously. I would never make fun of anyone's garden. I just tend to joke a lot with people and occasionally do standup comedy. Just 'cuz you have a sense of humor doesn't mean you can't judge a landscape. Besides, I'm not the only judge - there are several others. Garden with the most votes wins!
I gotta agree. On the other end of the spectrum, there are anal retentive folks with zero sense of humor who judge stuff all the time. They're just more boring about it.
"More boring?" Learn to write Studpossum! (I stand self-corrected, but don't let that stop you Cher baby!)
Sorry Marlene, i certainly didn't mean to imply that you would not make a fine judge. It has become clear to me in these forums, that people with a sense of humor are not taken seriously as gardeners. I suppose it has something to do with wearing huge red shoes while planting tiny annuals. People see it as a negative, crushing the transplants like that. Me, i look at it that i just have to work twice as hard to achieve the same results.
Now, as an official garden judge, i'd like to hear your opinion on garden paths...
No problem, Poppa. Garden paths... hmmm... let's see. Like you said, it must lead to something. It should have points of interest along the way, at the twists and turns. There are natural-looking paths and more formal-looking paths. I tend to like the natural look myself. I have a short pathway (10') leading to my backyard garden. It starts off in a cottage-style garden, then leads into my shade 'jungle' area in the back.
Gotta' get back to work before I get fired!
Keep writing, I love it.

Performance art, an electro-squiggle band, and student art are just a few of the things you'll be able to find this Friday at the Cleveland Museum of Art's special After Hours party. We're keeping the museum open extra late from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Blogs with tag: After Hours
October 27, 2009
Thanks to everyone who came out on Friday and helped to make our first TGIF such a success! We hope you had as much fun as we did. If you didn't make it, you missed quite the party. Wine was flowing freely and everyone had a blast mingling amid the music.

UPDATE MAY 1: Removed the original ICS animation and replaced with a better one, plus two more animations. Flash them and check them out. Credit for the animations goes to the creator. I just put em in the notification area. These are currently for 1.4.19 only...I will update and have the 1.4.26 tested shortly!
This is just a fetus right now...I've just been playing around with this and tweaking.
BUT I wanted to put out to y'all what I have right now!
This is based on shane6374's mod...you can check his page and view a video of what it is about HERE
So as I was saying...this is very bare bones and I hope to put in some time to making them cleaner on the Note as well as more background options.
This is based on the stock SystemUI.apk. I have generated one for both Stunner 1.4.19 & 1.4.26. Also please give it about 10 seconds to load up the animation for the first time.
I am also taking assistance on this one...I have done a bit of homework but I am not exactly sure where to read "View.MeasureSpec.getSize" to get the actual notification area size to resize the images accordingly. So if you know where to find this info...give me a pm or drop in the thread. (Neobuddy maybe?! *wink wink nudge nudge*)
I will also attach a "remove animation" in the event that you are not interested once you see it on your device.
Have fun, enjoy and the usual disclaimers apply.
Shout out to ABHISAHARA for testing on Stunner 220.127.116.11.
I am not able to "metamorph" these as I have added NEW files into SystemUI and from what I understand metamorph only patches EXISTING files. You can ask me if you want to add them in to your theme/roms/life. Thank you
The OP zips are for 1.4.19....the 1.4.26 are in the next post! Thanks!

I have the largest selection of unregistered Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf goats in the U.S.
Pygmy goats are wonderful! They stay cute, eat weeds, forbs, and grass. The Pygmy goat is used for milk, meat, and as pets. It is the most versatile of the goat breeds. They can also be used for brush clearing.
The Pygmy goat is hardy, alert and animated, good-natured and gregarious; a docile, responsive animal, a cooperative provider of milk, and an ecologically effective browser.
The Pygmy goat is an asset in a wide variety of settings, and can adapt
to virtually all climates.
My husband and I raise unregistered Pygmy goats as well as registered & unregistered Nigerian Dwarf goats. We specialize in variety in both size and color. WE ARE LOCATED IN SEGUIN, TEXAS!
The male can either be left as a 'Billy' or be 'fixed' and made a wether which is what we recommend if you are interested in a pet. Goats are social animals and become lonesome by themselves. They need to 'buddy' up with other pygmy goats or some other animal. Please do not buy one if he will be alone.
**NOTE: A Pygmy goat is generally smaller than a Nigerian Dwarf goat. Pygmy goats only come in solid colors (white, black, caramel, and agouti) with black accents on legs and face, and down their back. Nigerian Dwarf goats, on the other hand, can have blue-eyes, and be tri-colored and 'splashy' and can be very colorful. Pygmy goats will give you 'tiny', while Nigerian Dwarf goats will give you 'colorful'. I breed for tiny and colorful, hence, why I cross Pygmy with Nigerian Dwarf. I do have full Pygmy and full Nigerian Dwarf goats as well.
There are several advantages if you purchase goats from
me. While at my place, I will answer any questions you may have on care
and raising of your newest members of your family. Goats seldom need to
visit the vet, and most health issues can be handled with medications sold 'over
the counter'. Few medications are labeled 'for goats', hence the
difficulty in knowing what products to buy, and how much to give because the
information for using it on a goat is not on the label. All kids are wormed before
they leave my property.
Below the pygmy goats, you will find pictures of my working dogs. All of my dogs are either CKC or AKC registered. (All of my working dogs will be available for purchase this year at various times.)
"A.K." & "Savage" are proud parents to 9 A.K.C. registerable puppies!!
Pups were born 3/20/15. All of the females have been chosen, but there are male Great Pyrenees pups available from this litter. LIMITED AKC registration is $800.00. UNLIMITED AKC registration is $1,000.00. Pictures of the litter will be found at the bottom of this page below the goats that I have for sale. Pick up for this litter will be May 7th,8th,or 9th, 2015.
More pictures of this litter are after the goats below. All girls have been sold. Boys #5, #6, #7, & $9 are currently available from this litter.
"Browning" & "Kel-tec" are the parents of a litter of 10 CKC puppies that 3/24/15. The pups are $700.00 each and can be CKC registered. Pups will be ready for pickup the same time as the above litter, May 7,th,8th, 9th. Please Note: "Browning's" litter of puppies are NOT related to "A.K.'s" litter above. IF you are wanting a breeding pair of registered Great Pyrenees you may want to choose a pup from each litter and let them grow up together.
|"Browning" - She is CKC registered and was born 8/22/2011. SOLD
|Browning had 10 puppies 3/24/15! Pictures of this litter of puppies are at the bottom of this page. There are pups available from this litter.

The sale would include all animals, plus supplies, wormers, domain name, web page, and software, along with my customer base and 4 months of consultation with the new buyer to help them learn all aspects of the business.
Note: All of my working dogs will be for sale this year. All dogs are either CKC or AKC registered working dogs with no bad habits. If you are in need of working dogs, this would be a great time to purchase the working adult Great Pyrenees, plus one of her pups and allow the mom to train the younger pup.

massive Hot Lips
A friend passed-along a cutting 2 years ago, and I tucked it into a sunny perennial bed. Last year, it filled the entire corner. This year, it has overtaken everything in its vicinity - it's about 8' in diameter.
I LOVE this salvia, but if it's going to remain in this spot I'll have to keep it pruned-back - will it tolerate such treatment? If not, do these plants transplant well? If they do, when's the best time to do it?
If Hot Lips will resent the pruning, and it doesn't transplant well, I'd move the other perennials that it has overtaken. But, I'd sure appreciate the learned advice here.
In your case, the tilth of the soil your Hot Lips is in and that of the area it will go is important. I'm guessing it is in a really fertile soil. This will mean a good root run, and transplanting it will result in a severe root pruning (70%+). You will have to trim the tops equivalently. Transplanting it in the summer is a bad idea, but you can successively cut back in stages. At the same time, you can use a spade to root prune and force the development of fine roots closer to the base. Do this in stages also.
If there are a multitude of stems coming out of the ground, you may be able to divide the clump. In any case, you have to have a fairly good amount of fine roots
It is a selection of Salvia microphylla introduced by the Strybing Arboretum of San Francisco. Quote from a web page on Hot Lips:
"The manner by which this plant reached cultivation is a story in itself. Richard Turner, editor of Pacific Horticulture Magazine, threw a house warming party, for which his Mexican maid Altagracia provided flowers, including a certain salvia from Oaxaca, Mexico, which none of Altagracia's boss's horticultural buddies had ever seen before."
It has no S. greggii in it, and is under no restrictions on propagation. Some seed comes true, and much does not, at least as far as the bicoloring of the flower. It is one tough and reliable salvia.
May I add my comments re Hot Lips?
For 2 years I had read about this Salvia, and had seen many pictures. 3 or 4 years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Cabrillo College, and I saw a clump of 'Hot Lips'. I was offered seeds, which were being freely produced, so I brought them back to the UK. Germination was good, and one seedling seemed absolutely identical to the original 'Hot Lips'.
This was propagated easily, and vigorously from cuttings, and it has become an enormously popular Salvia in the UK. It is being sold as Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips', but I suppose it should really be named x 'Hot Lips', being a seedling from a cultivar.
Whatever, it has proved to be a vigorous plant, and yes, it tends to revert to pure-white in mid-summer.....but has anyone ever seen a better white form of microphylla or gregii? Like all rampant microphyllas, it is best replaced every 2 years, from cuttings, as I have never found seeds on this plant here.
It is still relatively new here, and attracts much interest whenever it is seen for sale. I understand that 'Plant Breeder's Rights' has been applied for, which I find rather pathetic and irritating, if anyone were to benefit financially from this plant, then it should be Altagracia...see earlier mails.
I introduced this plant to the UK, and am happy that it gives a lot of pleasure. Just rather sad that some outlets wish to make this a profit-making concern, especially if they claim to have introduced it when they have not.
This sad situation is also rife in Holland.
Having got that off my chest,
Sincere best wishes to all,
Rich -
Thanks so much for your great instructions. At this point, I'm undecided about transplanting - I tend to let things stay where they're obviously happy. The perennials that are in Hot Lips' way will be happy anywhere, and much easier to relocate.
The cuttings I rooted last fall have not grown overly large, nothing like neurepia or Orange Door which are growing in the exact same enriched soil in one garden and the same xeric soil in another. Robin is correct about its summer white, it is the purest. The leaves also are among the smallest of the half dozen or so microphyllas I grow. It has been a steady bloomer even in the harshest conditions but I'm wondering if it is about to take a break. The rest of the microphyllas in the enriched soil garden are putting on lots of new growth while Hot Lips isn't.
Thanks Rich and Robin. I think what I'll do is collect some seeds for myself and not try and trade then in the seed exchange forum here, and take a small root clump from the side and grow that in a container for a Nov. planting here (its so dry in SoCal, I keep pushing back my Fall perennial planting date). I really think this salvia is one of the most striking I see in all of SoCal and its fragrance is strangely attractive as well.
Robin, I couldn't agree with you more about growers taking unfair advantage of exclusive plant rights. Its one of the reason I tend towards native and heirloom plants and away from trendy plants, although I certainly think that hybridizers who come up with something new and spectacular deserve compensation for their work.
While slightly different, I was turned off to the patenting of plants while working with an environmental NGO in the Amazon and I saw pharmaceutical companies, orchid horticulturaists and others claiming plants the indigenous people had used and spread for millenia. Conversely, ag firms like Monsanto and Cargill were selling patented seed to farmers there that could only be used for one year, but the farmers could not collect seeds from it and therefore had to repurchase annualy.
PS - I hope you UK gardeners still have gardens after all that torrential rainfall!
I appreciate very much your comments. I think that maybe I got somewhat carried away 2 evenings ago re 'Hot Lips'.
Got, as we say over here "A bee in my bonnet", when in reality, I don't care, as I have rarely grown plants for profit, I prefer to share them with other enthusiasts. Just get a wee bit cross when others clain exclusive rights, but what the heck!
Re the British floods, it has been dreadful in some areas, but I live on a slope, therefore no problems, apart from torrential rain and hail. Incessant strong wind has been more of a problem with the more brittle species.
Lack of warmth and sunshine this July has restricted growth on many Salvias....BUT cloud-forest species are flowering well and thriving. It is all hit-and-miss...who knows what August and September will throw at us?
Sincere regards.......Robin.
BTW another 12 pics just added to my site.
"It is one tough and reliable salvia"
Couldn't agree more Rich. I got mine from Lowes of all places last fall and it has been a nonstop flower producer/hummingbird magnet since it started blooming this spring. Hasn't required much in the way of watering even with the minimal rain we have gotten here in my neck of the woods in NC.
I've had this one for over 2 years... and it also grew pretty big for its spot. This spring I severely pruned it down, to the point where I thought, oh well, if it's dead at least I enjoyed it. But it is growing back nicely, except for the dead twigs from older wood that you can still see. Its a bit unsightly, but the new green and the bi-color helps me to not yank it. We'll see this fall when I get the planting itch.
Bumblebees (especially carpenter bees with shiny black bums)abort fertilization by puncturing the flower at its base rather than extend their tongues down the flower's throat.
Normally, pollen grains find their way to the forked stigma, generate a sperm tube down the style to the base of the unfertilized seed, and unite with them. Once the flower is abnormally perforated, this process seems to be blocked.
I have been growing Hot lips in zone 5 for the past 10 summers and it once kept blooming until January. Doesn't survive our Michigan, USA winters though.
This year I purchased 6 that were all red, but marked "Hot Lips."
Will it revert to red and white once in the ground, or did it just not come true to seed?

The weather for Alan"s bar-b on Friday night stayed dry, although a little cold. It just meant everyone had to stand as close as they could to the bar-b-q. There was a fine selection of sausages and burgers sizzling away and Robin with his 18oz rump steak. Those stopping in the bunkhouses found them to be clean but a little basic and the plumbing was a bit noisy. When someone flushed the toilet it sounded like a jet plane landing overhead. Jon Scaife renamed them Stalag as he thought they resembled a German POW camp. I think he went a bit too far when he tried to arrange a digging team to escape. I suppose once a caver always a caver. On saturday morning Masson members went en mass to Inglesport café for their cavers breakfast and mug of coffee. After the ritual lard and caffeine fix, people headed off, most opting for Pete"s Calf Holes trip, probably the best attended trip for a long while. Ann Soulsby, Roy Rodgers and Robin Stiffin went to do Hunt Pot, and Alan Alsop, Jim Borrington and I went to do Tatham Wife. Most of the non cavers of the weekend went for a walk from Clapham to Ingleborough Cave and some on up to Gaping Ghyll. In the evening we all congregated in the bar, except for Pete Scott who had to go home to pack for his cruise around the Med and Daz and Andrea who forgot they"d booked and went to the YSS instead. Although it was a shame they didn"t go, Jim Borrington got Pete"s meal and bunk, and our girls got Daz and Andrea"s puddings. After a few drinks we sat down for a meal, then Paul Chandler gave us a slide show of the early years of Masson featuring many past members. The evenings entertainment was rounded off with a few films from Dave Webb. For most of us that was it for the evening except for the occupants of Stalag 6 who were awoken in the early hours by loud banging and screaming. This time it wasn"t the plumbing and initially they thought it was the Camp Commandant who had discovered their tunnel. It turned out it was a neighbour from Stalag 5 who, in his drunken state had got the wrong door and thought Jon was in his bunk. He apparently got quite aggressive before realising the error of his ways and staggering back to his own room. A few minutes later one of his friends came in, again looking for his bed and was quickly shown the way out. The following morning people hung around for a while before going off to do there own thing. Amanda and I went th for a short walk around Austwick with the girls before heading home. All in all a great weekend and roll on the 40 do. And to cap it all off I even managed to get my hands on THE Masson Anniversary mug, which John Roberts assured me is the only one in existence, and Amanda got one too??? Mark Clements th Trip Report Tatham Wife Hole Saturday 10 May 2009 Present: Alan Alsop, Jim Borrington, Mark Clements The usual meet at Inglesport had a different feel to it this morning as Masson members had taken over the café. This was all very good until we had to sort who was doing which trip, and how we would get there. Most opted for Pete"s Calf Holes trip, but Alan, Jim and I decided to do Tatham Wife. Then we had to get our gear to Jim"s car; mine was in Daz and Andrea"s car; Alan"s in Mick Biggin"s I think? After a trek around Ingleton with our gear we got to Jim"s car and eventually set off up the road. We parked up on the roadside under Ingleborough and got kitted up and then set off up the footpath to the cave. The initial section was quite steep but on a reasonable path but then the gradient eased but the path gradually turned into a trudge across hummacky grass. After about fifty minutes we found the sink hole entrance and put our SRT kit on and were ready to go caving. The entrance is down a short scramble into a small chamber which soon leads to and crabwalk type passage, which then leads to a short drop which I rigged. A little way past this is the proper first pitch, where Alan and I got a little confused as we had assumed that the previous short drop would be called the first pitch, but it wasn"t. After a few minutes head scratching we worked it out and carried on. The real first pitch is a short traverse to a Y hang, which I rigged then down a metre or so to a deviation, then down about 10m to the floor. From here you go down a slope a few metres then belay of a rock pillar, to a traverse and Y hang for the second pitch, which is similar in height to the first. There is another deviation a short way down, to avoid the worst of the waterfall. The next section is a long passageway which soon becomes a crawl, with one tightish section which you have to negotiate on your side then crawl down through a narrow slot. After this it becomes a bit easier with a few scrambles then the third pitch is reached. This starts the same as the previous two pitches, Y hang to a deviation, and a short abseil to the base of a waterfall. Then from here, around a corner to a narrow sloping fault where you belay off a rock trapped in the crack. It"s a little tight getting into the slot at the top and then awkward to descend as you cannot lean back enough on the rope. You end up rattling down between the two walls all the way to the bottom. Another narrow passage leads past a few more scrambles, then to the duck. Alan went through first and I waited until he was out before taking the plunge. Deep breath, into the water then duck under the low section and crawl out the other side. Once out it"s a short walk to the final pitch, a short drop with a deviation above a waterfall to the bottom. It is possible to crawl along the passageway at the bottom up to a sump, but I only went a short way before turning back. After a mars bar and a drink we head out, Alan then Jim, with me de-rigging. On the way out Jim has a small problem on the third pitch when his footloop gets stuck in his Pantin but he soon gets it sorted and the rest of the way out goes without a hitch. Another good trip and I was definitely ready for the meal at The Dalesbidge Centre in the evening. Trip Report Hunt Pot Saturday 9th May 2009 Present: Ann Soulsby, Robin Stiffin, Roy Rodgers. The YSS had permits for Little Hull, Hunt and Shrapnel Pots. Ann and I, being members, had thought we might tag along with them but there were no other takers so with Robin there were just 3 cavers trudging up the track from Horton. There had been quite a lot of rain the previous week (although it was dry on the day) and with Little Hull"s reputation we thought the other 2 offered the best bet – at least we would see almost straight away what we were up against in the way of water. None of us had done either cave before and we were hoping to do both. The river didn"t look too bad so, having spotted the Hunt Pot DMMs on the far side we went down into the shake hole, identifying Shrapnel Pot on the way past. The initial belay is to hangers in 2 big surface boulders then over the edge to a Y-hang a couple of metres down. After that it is single free-hanging rebelays all the way (4 or 5 of them). About half way down the water hits a ledge with a pool and then falls down the line the rope must take. A couple of rebelays moving out across the wall above the waterfall offer a (limited) choice of hang and I had been advised that the further of the 2 would give the dryer descent. Looking down from it things didn"t look too bad. Several hours later, warm, dry and part-way down my second pint I mused that, while looking down a pitch often gives maximum visual impact, if you want to know how wet you are likely to get in a waterfall you really need to examine it from the front, side, back, below. Anywhere, in fact, other than from directly above. So it was 3 very wet cavers who arrived at the bottom, looked up at the climb to the connection with Shrapnel and set off back up the rope for a second soaking, with Ann derigging. It had started to rain when we got out so we decided to leave Shrapnel for another day. 70 metres of rope with 9 krabs does the whole cave and there is no horizontal stuff. A bit like a clean Eldon Hole with added water but no smell. No Damocles Rift either but an exchange with Shrapnel Pot might make up for that. I hope we can do that one day, perhaps even as a Sunday trip as the walk up is only about 45 minutes. Definitely one for a dry day though! Roy th Friday evening, 8 May. Arrived at The Dalesbridge Centre on Friday evening after having had a session bouldering at The Climbingworks in Sheffield. It had rained on my way through the Peaks so I couldn"t do Burbage North like I"d wanted. Ah well, had a good stretch anyway. Bought a nice steak - unusual for me – but it was really nice after it had been on the Barbeque and gathered quite a bit of attention, " Oooh, that looks nice Robin" in a "Are you going to share" it kind of way. I was kind and gave some to Dave Webb who seemed particularly interested. Found a bunk spare in Mick Biggin and Alistair"s room. th Hull Pot, Sat 9 May Those attending: Roy Rodgers, Ann Soulsby and Robin Stiffin. Quite a lot of people opted for the Calf Holes trip this morning, but Ann and Roger had planned to go up the Pen-y- Ghent path and do either or both of 2 pot holes – Hunt Pot and Shrapnel Pot – so always up for a change of scenery and finding out that Hunt Pot was an entrance that I"d previously walked past, examined and fancied descending, decided to go as well. Besides the 40-45 min walk which added quite a lot to the trip time, Hunt Pot itself is really just a short SRT trip albeit quite technical and not without difficulty due to abbing down a waterfall and getting wet. The entrance is a slot shaped opening with a stream going in over the edge at one end, but Roy anchored to the large boulder and made his way over the edge on one short piece of rope, and then did the rest in one long 60m length. Basically it went a short bit to the first re-belay, longish pitch, medium pitch across a ledge to a hanging re-belay, and then 3 short-ish re-belays to the final hang which went down through the waterfall, which it needn"t as the first one could have avoided it and we could have kept quite dry on the 30m or so down to the bottom. Waterfalls can be quite an aesthetically pleasing feature of caves when one can view them whilst staying dry but getting wet in them aint quite so nice. But, it was quite a head rush prussicking back up the waterfall as all I could see was the small pool of light from my head torch shining on my top jammer every time it came into view and lots of really heavy rain, which thundered down on my helmet for maybe 15m or so on the way up. It made the rest of the day cold, which the wind and rain did its best to exacerbate. Ann made loads of noises de-rigging on the way up, chiefly because the maillions were a bit stuck and hard to undo sometimes. Whilst Roy sheltered from the wind as best he could and I kept a concerned (fussy) eye on the rope, Ann thankfully emerged from the depths and we then unanimously opted for a return to home base and a well earned cuppa in Inglesport café. I had far too large a piece of cake and spoiled my evening dinner. But it was a weekend of being gorged on allsorts….. th Alum Pot, Sunday 10 May Those attending: Roy Rodgers, Bob Hetherington, Daz and Andrea Leake, Ann Soulsby, Jim Borrington and Robin Stiffin. Having said goodbyes, getting my milk and deciding on caving again instead of climbing, continued the glut by opting to follow 6 others keeners down into the long apprehended and amazing ALUM POT. Aah….. what beatific (cavers) vision……. After the usual starting place for breaky, and biffing around getting dry gear out of the YSS drying room (thanks Roy, you"re a star) we all drove over to the Alum/Diccan car park/lane and got changed in readiness for one of THE must do trips in Yorkshire. Met quite a few of the "Masson Elders" at the fenced off Pot entrance whose smiling benediction sent us on our way, (or perhaps it was Friday nights bit of steak) ….. and we happily split into 2 groups so that an exchange trip could ensue. Roy, Jim and myself went up to the Long Churn entrance whilst Daz rigged the main shaft route, with Andrea Ann and Bob following down. I took a few photos and then followed Roy and Jim; luckily just managing to see them disappearing down the uppermost hole. Following on after a few more snaps I had to shout for a few directions as not having been before I didn"t know the way, but chiefly it was downstream, step across a few pools (Oops, bit of a swim), down a handline (with stop) and oops again as we bump into a group being laddered up and down so that they could see the amazing view from the midway window. We had to rig the second choice descent as their ladder was anchored to out first choice bolts, but no worry as probably both are much the same, with maybe the second choice being slightly more awkward as it bumbles down the end of a chimney instead of getting a clear hang down into the stream bed. But notwithstanding, we soon cleared their well led but obviously young and green caving, so that we could look out upon the awesome vision of a well watered Alum Pot. I could imagine the place being a lot more wetter than it was today, Roy said there was quite a bit of water coming down through Diccan Pot, but in real flood conditions I expect the place could be a real maelstrom. Alum has chiefly two streams entering its main chamber space - one from each end – so there was quite a bit of spray around further down. As Roy rigged the pitch from the window down to the ledge, I could see, and took a few snaps of Ann and Andrea finishing the descending party down the main shaft route. Jim followed on and I then took some video of them going past the deviation after they"d got over the bridge - a massive great pillar of rock that has fallen over at mid depth (video on the website soon-ish). This takes a Y-hang which allows you to descend to the bottom of the main shaft. As I was just about catching them up Bob came up the rope so he could get out early. So I had to wait until I could abseil into the well lit waters below. I met the others and swapping awe inspired comments…. Far out… awesome place… etc etc. Roy then sort of led me on down to the sump past where the waters from Diccan Pot joins the conjoining waters by way of quite a powerful waterfall. Dont get stuck in THAT one when the water"s high! We explored down to the sump, noticing the height of the foam up the rocks and were glad we weren"t in the place yesterday or the day before. Most of the salient point now explored we thrutched back through the side passage-y bit we"d come down and made out way back to the daylit main shaft. By this time all of the Leake party had made their way up, and were well on their way along the ledge up and out de-rigging the Long Churn route. Jim went up first, and after a quick discussion Roy left me to de-rig, which I quite enjoyed. Its nice to contribute properly. By the time I"d managed to get all the karibiners undone and got off the top, we"d found out that somebody from another group had dislocated their shoulder in Long Churn / The Cheese Press area, so Roy went to have a help and all the emergency services started turning up. I did hear one "Oow" when somebody was making their way from the landrover to the ambulance, but at least they"d got out safely thank goodness. (The only other down point was that Andrea must have found out how to use some plastic device, or if you want any further details you"ll have to ask her anyway). Me, I was last to get changed (as usual?), and we opted not to meet up for drinks etc as it was home time really. It was happy goodbyes, and thanks for a great weekend all round. Robin Stiffin.

Thanks Chris Pownall Peak District National Park Authority Bagshawe Cavern: Far Drought Sump pushed another 60m Report From: John Taylor, Date: 14/03/2009. Published: 05/05/2009. On the 28th February 2009 divers John Taylor and Simon Cornhill launched the first dive into Far Drought Sump in Bagshawe Cavern"s Lower Series. Although not a great distance from surface this sump lies beyond three sumps and some arduous passage which requires John and Simon to enter Sump 1 of Bagshawe Resurgence Cave each with one 300bar 4l cylinder and one 200bar 6l cylinder, they then dive through to Downstream Sump 2b base whilst preserving as much air as possible in the 4"s and ditch one 6l cylinder before progressing through Straight Street Sump where the other 6l cylinder is deposited in Straight Street along with one set of equipment. The divers then share the carry of the remaining set of equipment and the two 300bar 4"s to Far Drought Sump. So far the team have launched five such trips and have laid 80m of line into the erstwhile unexplored sump. Surveying has revealed that 20m of this has been laid in passage already surveyed in drought conditions but that still leaves a total of 60m of new, sizeable, passage which at present shows no sign of closing down.

Rose Cuttings
cgardengalMay 30, 2014
Does anyone have rose cutting they could send or sell, I would pay shipping. It seems the only thing I can find are the knock out roses in the stores and I would like a different rose plant. I would love to start a rose garden! Thanks!
