sun coleus and puffy pictures
I love sun coleus. All these are in big pots. Click to enlarge
I love coleus, too, Helen. I planted some in my window box. The first year I tried to keep pinching the flowers so the leaves would get bigger and thicker. Went away for a month to visit my folks and hubby was not too good about the pinching thing...when I came back home there were flowers galore and would have pinched them except I noticed the hummingbirds were swarming them...Left them after that and what a surprise I had the next year when I found out they had reseeded themselves! Guess not cleaning out the fall leaves, and my windows leaking warm air on them all winter gave them a nice winter bed to sleep in ...
Do yours come back each year Hellen?
I am with miss four seasons. Mine were so small looking I never tried them again.
Maybe with a heavy mulch they may come back thicker?
My dusty miller does. I mulch heavy after they get that first zap of cold. I cut them down and then pull mulch pack first thing in the spring before the rains start. Has worked for 4 years now.
I take cuttings of the sun coleus and keep them inside over winter. They don't like temps under 50. In spring I take cuttings of those. I put them outside about the same time as impatients. The shade coleus are too cheap to mess with. I buy them in 4 or 6 packs in spring. I like the odd wavy ones and I have fun picking the colors I like. Both are easier for me to grow in big pots - I have tree roots and rocky soil and digging dogs. A few have had something eating the leaves, but usually bugs are no problem. I use Miracle Grow a few times a summer on everything in pots, but I don't really need to do that.
Bonnie: Pinch them, give them Miracle Grow, keep the soil moist and give them a nice airy potting soil and you should get some big plants. In the Ozarks summer, keep them in a shaded area so full sun doesn't hit them...They'll give you some big leaves...
Have you tried growing caldiums? I had lots of pleasure from those as well and just a colorful.
Helen: Even here on Guam caladiums go through a rest period. Then, all of a sudden they come jumping out of the ground. In MO, you would have to dig up the bulbs and store them over winter. Never tried doing a heavy mulch on them like elephant ears, so who knows...it might work, but just in case, dig up some of the bulbs anyway...
Sun coleus are found in 3 or 4 inch pots in garden centers in spring. They are about $4 each. They get bigger than the shade coleus. If you google them you will see there are many many choices. I like dipt in wine. They have different growth habits. I collect them, but over wintering in my basement gets to be a chore if I have very many plants. They get ratty by spring. I think caladiums really like it warm. I kept my caladiums in the basement last winter. Some of them got mold and others rotted. A few survived. I kept a sweet potato (ornamental kind) dry in a plastic shoe box. It survived. I think I had the caladiums in peat moss. I may try the caladiums in plastic shoe boxes. They are s l o w to get started in the spring. Some of the rotting happen when I tried to grow them in my basement under lights.

Iterates a specified variable over all the properties of an object, in arbitrary order. For each distinct property, the specified statement is executed.
|Implemented in:
|JavaScript 1.0, NES 2.0
|ECMA Version:
for (variable in object) statement
- Variable to iterate over every property, optionally declared with the
varkeyword. This variable is local to the function, not to the loop. (In other words, when the loop completes the variable has the value of the last property visited.)
- Object for which the properties are iterated.
- A statement to execute for each property. To execute multiple statements within the loop, use a block statement (
{ ... }) to group those statements.
for...in loop does not iterate over built-in properties. These include all built-in methods of objects, such as
indexOf method or
toString method. However, the loop will iterate over all user-defined properties (including any which overwrite built-in properties).
for...in loop iterates over the properties of an object in an arbitrary order. If a property is modified in one iteration and then visited at a later time, the value exposed by the loop will be its value at that later time. A property which is deleted before it has been visited will not then be visited later. Properties added to the object over which iteration is occurring may either be visited or omitted from iteration. In general it is best not to add, modify, or remove properties from the object during iteration, other than the property currently being visited; there is no guarantee whether or not an added property will be visited, whether a modified property will be visited before or after it is modified, or whether a deleted property will be visited before it is deleted.
Although it may be tempting to use this as a way to iterate over an Array, this is a bad idea. The
for...in statement iterates over user-defined properties in addition to the array elements, so if you modify the array's non-integer or non-positive properties (e.g. by adding a
"foo" property to it or even by adding a method or property to
Array.prototype), the
for...in statement will return the name of your user-defined properties in addition to the numeric indexes. Also, because order of iteration is arbitrary, iterating over an array may not visit elements in numeric order. Thus it is better to use a traditional for loop with a numeric index when iterating over arrays. Similar arguments might be used against even using for...in at all (at least without propertyIsEnumerable() or hasOwnProperty() checks), since it will also iterate over Object.prototype (which, though usually discouraged, can, as in the case of Array.prototype, be usefully extended by the user where are no namespacing concerns caused by inclusion of other libraries which might not perform the above checks on such iterations and where they are aware of the effect such extension will have on their own use of iterators such as for...in).
Example: Using
The following function takes as its arguments an object and the object's name. It then iterates over all the object's properties and returns a string that lists the property names and their values.
function show_props(obj, objName) { var result = ""; for (var i in obj) { result += objName + "." + i + " = " + obj[i] + "\n"; } return result; }
See also
- for each...in - similar to
for...in, but iterates over the values of object's properties, rather than the property names themselves. (New in JavaScript 1.6.)
- for
{{ languages( { "es": "es/Referencia_de_JavaScript_1.5/Sentencias/for...in", "fr": "fr/R\u00e9f\u00e9rence_de_JavaScript_1.5_Core/Instructions/for...in", "ja": "ja/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Statements/for...in", "pl": "pl/Dokumentacja_j\u0119zyka_JavaScript_1.5/Polecenia/for...in" } ) }}

Ruby Predictions
With the impending dawn of 2008, it's time I set down my look at what the future might hold for the Ruby world. In general, Ruby looks poised for another big year. But reading about generalities is not fun (and neither is writing about them for that matter), so I've tried to provide a little more detail below.
JRuby — I expect to see JRuby put Ruby's speed issues put to bed in 2008. The JRuby team is making great progress in their work, and have shown that they're not afraid to try new things. JRuby is going to continue to gain users this year, and may become the most widely deployed version of Ruby as Java shops pick it up.
Rubinius — Evan and the rest of the Rubinius hackers are going to give the official 1.9 implementation of Ruby a run for the money this year. Rubinius is going to continue to improve, and will start to see widespread deployment. It will also be exciting to see Rubinius experiments bleed back into the other Ruby implementations as people see the value in them.
Merb — I believe that this year will see Merb come forward as a better Rails. It won't overtake Rails in terms of deployments or mindshare in 2008, but it will get big enough to be taken seriously. We'll know it's come of age when we see the first book about it.
Books — The market seems to near the saturation point for general Ruby books. The Pragmatic Programmers still seem to be the big wheel, but Apress has been putting out titles at an amazing rate and other publishers have been getting involved too. Perhaps the most interesting new contender is Addison-Wesley's Professional Ruby series, which features 'The Ruby Way', 'The Rails Way', and 'Design Patterns In Ruby'. I think 2008 will see more focus on specific Ruby related technologies along with continued E-Book rollouts. I also think we'll see more DVDs of Ruby and Rails training come out in 2008.
A Magazine — I feel less certain about this that the other predictions, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a journal style magazine come out in 2008 (even if it folds after an issue or two). I think the Ruby community is ready for something like this.

Great purchase!" by Elaine
Bought these to protect our new floor from a very heavy bed setee. The weight had cracked others we bought - not from Lakeland. These are very sturdy and large enough to hold the back legs as well as castors on the front. Very impressed!
FIT IN WITH DECOR" by Ian
Liked these because of design as opposed to boring plain examples available elsewhere. Even bought another pack for bed as castors were really digging into the carpet.
good quality items" by Mrs McQuaid
I am pleased that I bought these items through Lakeland. I could have purchased others that were certainly cheaper but these were more than worth the cost. Protects the floor perfectly, are very attractive and blend well with my floor. Good level of padding. Would certainly recommend. In fact am buying more today for my sons new bed!

Keep track of your ITR until it's acknowledged
November 1, 2012
Vidyalaxmi , ET Bureau
Most of us have filed our tax returns electronically before the August 31 deadline. However, what many of us didn't realise was that the process would be complete only after the central processing centre (CPC) of the income-tax department sends an email or SMS acknowledging the receipt of the income tax return (ITR). Every tax payer should send the signed copy of ITR-V to the CPC through speed post or ordinary post within 120 days from the date of filing. Once the CPC receives the ITR, it usually sends an email or an SMS acknowledging the ITR. "The CPC has put in processes acknowledging the receipt of ITR-V and also to intimate taxpayers for non-receipt for filed e-returns.

"For the financial year 2011-12, an individual with a total income of up to Rs 10 lakh can file income tax return offline by March 31, 2014, and an individual having total income of more than Rs 10 lakh can file his/her return online by March 31, 2014," says Sonu Iyer, tax partner and national leader, human capital mobility services, at Ernst & Young.

The deadline for tax filing is just a month away. And filing returns online seems to be the way to go this year for individuals who earn more than 10 lakh. Now these individuals don't have the option of filing tax returns offline through a tax consultant or chartered accountant anymore. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued a notification in March making it mandatory for individuals with annual income of more than 10 lakh to file their returns online from the current financial year.

After nearly two decades of US leadership during the 1980s and 1990s, are Europe's venture capital (VC) markets in the 2000s finally catching up regarding the provision of financing and successful exits, or is the performance gap as wide as ever? Are we amid an overall VC performance slump with no encouraging news? We attempt to answer these questions by tracking over 40,000 VC-backed firms stemming from six industries in 13 European countries and the USA between 1985 and 2009; determining the type of exit – if any – each particular firm's investors choose for the venture.

Farmers flock to dairy protest meeting
About 500 farmers have attended a sobering, but peaceful crisis meeting at Tongala to discuss issues holding down milk prices.GEOFF ADAMS February 14, 2013 4:04am
The dairy industry faces a pessimistic future unless they can get better milk prices, speakers told a public protest meeting at Tongala yesterday.
The meeting was organised by a new farm lobby group which developed spontaneously out of an emotional protest in a Western District town in January.
Dairy farmers say their milk prices are running below their cost of production and fear they will be forced to leave the industry.
The meeting attracted some colorful conservative politicians including National Party Senator Barnaby Joyce, who accused big supermarkets of exploiting dairy farmers and urged the dairy farmers to stick together with other farm commodity groups.
Senator Joyce said milk was now being sold on supermarket shelves at a price less than bottled water.
Ausbuy representative Lynne Wilkinson told farmers the Australian government had negotiated ''free trade'' agreements with the US which did not benefit Australia for 15 to 20 years, while cheap imported food flooded into Australia.
She said every major food commodity except rice was controlled by foreign interests, including 75 per cent of the country's dairy brands.
She said Free Trade Agreements were not free nor in Australia's interest if it meant growers and processors were competing against foreign government subsidised products.
Most of the crowd had to stand up as seating was limited but they waited quietly during the two and a half hour meeting.
Supermarkets are paying suppliers, including dairy farmers, less because they are in a constant push to increase profits, entrepreneur Dick Smith OAM said.
Mr Smith said the obsession with increased growth and profits was not sustainable and would have consequences for Australians' way of life.
He told the meeting he was shocked Australia had become a net importer of food.
''It's globalisation gone made and it's capitalism gone mad,'' Mr Smith said

Who Is John Galt?
The makers of the new movie Atlas Shrugged: Part I have invited me to an exclusive screening today in Washington, D.C. Here's the trailer:
They've taken a huge gamble, producing this ambitious film under a tight deadline and on a tight budget.
During the CPAC blogger bash at FreedomWorks, they previewed four scenes from the movie. Clearly, they're hoping to generate major buzz before the film's theatrical release on April 15.
Yeah: Tax Day. Pretty clever.

Starting off by blowing up small, bourgeois shops. Eventually hooking up with sympathetic allies in the Middle East. Then killing American soldiers.

It's really important to learn bird behavior if you want to get good bird photographs (click on photos for full sized images). I saw a post on Facebook the other day questioning "whether you can be a "birder" with a camera rather than with binoculars." There were some pretty interesting remarks to this question and, at the time, I didn't have time to put in my two cents but I do have an opinion on that question.
I use both! I consider myself a birder just because I watch birds and I guess I can call myself a photographer because I photograph them.
I'm not a professional photographer. There aren't many of those around that make a living with photography, any more than there are professional birders that make a living "birding."
To me, these are just labels. There are folks out there that must put a label on everything to make their life orderly. I am not one of those people.
I believe that what's important is behavior. Whether we call ourselves birders, bird watchers, photographers, environmentalists, conservationists or all of the above, the important thing is what we DO about our passion for birds.
As I stated in the opening sentence of this post, "It's really important to learn bird behavior if you want to get good bird photographs." As a bird photographer, I watch a lot of bird behavior. I may spend an hour or more (as I did with this Red-breasted Sapsucker) watching a particular bird, learning its habits and movements.
This bird was working lower on this tree the day I found it. You can see the numerous rows of sap wells that have been drilled into the bark of this oak tree.
I learned a couple of years ago that Red-breasted Sapsuckers guard their sap wells. Knowing this bird's behavior allowed me to return to this tree the next morning when there was better light, and get these photos.
The first day I saw this bird, it was feeding out of the sap wells at the bottom of the photo above. The next day, it opened up an old row of wells a couple of feet above those.
This is where s/he began chipping away the bark of the old sap wells on this morning.
About a half hour later, almost an entire row of sap wells had been reopened and the sapsucker was feeding out of them.
And a bit further along…
feeding from the newly opened wells.
Moving from right to left…
and pausing before going back to the other end.
When you take the time to learn bird behavior, you have more opportunity to see more birds and achieve better photographs. It is important to know what different species eat, where they nest, what type of habitat they prefer and if they migrate or not. After watching birds for awhile, you will know when they are feeling stressed and when they are comfortable with your presence.
Whether you consider yourself a "birder" a "bird watcher" a "photographer" or all of the above, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you enjoy birds. Hopefully that leads all of us down the same path of protecting birds and their environment, which also happens to be our environment too.
In the coming months we will be promoting the creation of a new "Federal Wildlife Conservation Stamp" to increase much needed revenue for our National Wildlife Refuge System. What we envision is an alternative to the "Duck Stamp" for non-consumptive users of the refuge system which will be sold as an entrance pass to all national wildlife refuges.
We hope all birders, bird watchers, wildlife photographers, environmentalists, conservationists, hikers, and well meaning citizens will get behind this movement to create an additional income stream for our National Wildlife Refuge System. We are working on a website to promote the new stamp and will update everyone as the time for action approaches.
Remember, it's not what we call ourselves, it's our behavior that makes the difference in the way we shape our future. It's what we DO with our passion for birds that counts.
If you have a passion for birds, birding and bird photography, check out The Bird D'pot and WIld Bird Wednesday!
