Angry at the world and surrounded by loneliness, Bossun finds himself at the place where his father was slain in a car accident. A young man appears and explains to Bossun why his father died. He gives Bossun, a letter and present from his father that was supposed to be given to Haru. When Bossun sees a young man bullied by delinquents, will Bossun follow his father's philosophy or will he just live for himself?
Akane is worry about Bossun, but Rumi reassures her that Bossun would be okay. Yet, Akane gives her an example where Bossun went out to get her a birthday gift. Rumi tells her that Bossun is her son in the end before she realizes the tea is too sweet. Meanwhile, Bossun walks aimlessly in the streets and arrives to the park where his father was slain in a car accident. A group of delinquents throw a can at Bossun which enrages Bossun. He tells them to apologize, and while they beat him, Bossun continues to yell at his father much to the delinquent's confusion. The crowd (and young Tsubaki) pass by Bossun. Then, a young man appears and threatens to call the police. While Bossun finish washing his face, the young man realizes that Bossun's face looks the man who died 15 years ago. He introduces himself as Taisuke and explains that Ryosuke died saving him from a car accident. Ryosuke informs Taisuke to give his birthday present to his wife, Haru, since Ryosuke is on the verge of death. Before dying, he regrets not telling his wife, Akane, or his child, and then, he tells Taisuke his last advice.
With the flashback ending, Taisuke finishes watering the flowers and tells Bossun that he has come here on the anniversary of the man's death because he hopes he meet someone who know Ryosuke. He hands Bossun the gift from his father. By the river, Bossun opens the present to find a cracked watch and a letter. As he reads the letter, he learns that his father was buying a watch for his mother's birthday (same day as Bossun) instead of playing Pachinko. On the second page, Bossun reads his father's message to Bossun about helping people. Bossun throws the bag and yells at his father for helping others, being a selfish martyr, and leaving his son. As Bossun is about to leave, he sees the boy (Sasuke) with the long eyelashes getting bullied by the delinquents before. He decides to leave, but his father convinces him to help others because he, himself, got through life with the help of his friends and family. Then, Bossun stands up to the bullies and yells at his father that he will help others. Although Bossun and Sasuke were defeated, Sasuke thanks Bossun for being brave and strong. He asks Bossun for his name; however, Bossun declines and leaves for his home.
As Akane drives Haru to the hospital, Haru thanks Akane which causes Akane to break into tears. This causes Akane to get distracted as she swerves into a doctor's car traveling the opposite direction. The doctor finds Haru unconscious. At the hospital, the doctor's wife reveals that Bossun has been born safely. However, the doctor tells Akane that Haru had died. Akane states that she will raise Bossun because he is Haru and Ryosuke's precious treasure.
Bossun arrive home and gets slapped by Akane. She cries while holding Bossun close to him. When Bossun asks Akane what is he to her, Akane states that Bossun is everything to her. Bossun accepts that Akane and Rumi are his mother and sister. He tells Akane that he is lucky that Akane is his mother and that everyone helped him. With Bossun's words, Akane thank Bossun for being born. Rumi comes home, and when Rumi asks Bossun for sweets, Bossun hands the sweet. Somehow, Rumi cries, too. With Bossun's birthday celebrated, Bossun narrates about making a club to help people. (Hime, Switch, and Sasuke make a cameo)
Bossun and his crew are at a school festival. He teases Hime who is dressed as maid to serve food at a cafe. A mysterious man appears at the entrance of the school.

"The song, "Neighbor" is really a beautiful song. It's so simple. Just the sitting down and getting to know your neighbor that way. Talking about the kids and the school, the PTA.... I think when we return to those basics rather as opposed to the demonized version of "the other", we end up finding those connections. So, it's great that you're bringing that connection through your music.""
"These are songs to live by, sweet and simple, with contagious melodies that highlight Patricia's Joni Mitchell-esque voice."

Plumeria leaves looking strange
Greetings from horribly humid and hot Florida. I have an issue with some plumerias we recently bought. The gentleman we purchased them from grows them at his home and he has quite the plumeria garden. Unfortunately I cannot get around to his home else I would ask him what may be ailing our plants.
The leaves are beginning to get yellow and faded with some strange spots. The plants are watered weekly when the soil feels really dry. It has been hot as hades here recently and I am not sure what it could be. We have not fertilized or noticed anything creeply crawly under the leaves. They are in partial sun in 10 inch pots with a cactus plant soil. We were hoping they would make it a few more weeks until our new home is finished then we could plant them in the ground but the concern is that whatever this is may kill them.
I included a link that has pics of the leaves. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
At first, I thought/assumed it may be starting to drop leaves in prep for dormacy (normal yellowing from the bottom leaves). After seeing your pictures, I suspect it's a bug. Spider mites or whiteflies (probably the latter). Are they in an area that gets a lot of air circulation? That will help. I had a few seedlings in my greenhouse that got whiteflies and looked similar. I put them outside, after cutting off the leaves and spraying and they're fine. I'm also in S. FL.
They are on our screened in back porch.. circulation. Well, not the best I would say. How best to eradicate these pests? If I were to remove the affected leaves, we are talking a stump on some of them. I just need them to hold on a few more weeks!! Aarrgh!!!
Look at Home Depot for something that kills Whiteflies. I think I used something by Ortho. As for taking off the leaves, that is going to happen anyway soon when they go dormant. Then in the spring, they should leaf out again. You need to kill the whiteflies and keep them off.
I'm sorry that your plumeria have whiteflies, but I'm so happy that you posted your concern with a photo. I've been trying to find out what is going on with one of my plumeria and your picture is exactly what my plant looks like. I'm unhappy that the darn whiteflies have come to visit, but now I know what they are, they will soon be eliminated.

patch removal
not_the_manJune 30, 2008
I have a garment that has a patch sewed on at the factory and I wanted to remove it. Will removing the stitching affect the strength of the backing fabric at all? It's critical that the strength is not compromised. Thanks
Be careful trying to remove factory applied patches. It may be heat bonded to the backing fabric which will make it impossible to remove without distorting, possibly tearing the fabric.
Check the edge of the patch with the tip of a seam ripper. Is the patch held on by thread or does it appear glued down?
If you can remove the patch easily it shouldn't affect the fabric beneath. Unless the patch was applied to cover a defect. Did you check the reverse side of the patch area?
Good luck.

March 12, 2013 3:25pm
Paul Ryan, the chair of the House Budget Committee, has just released Republicans' version of the Budget Resolution for fiscal year 2014. It promises to balance the budget by 2023 and to eliminate the entire national debt shortly after 2050. Between 2014 and 2023, spending would be reduced by $4.6 trillion. All of the deficit reductions are to be achieved through spending cuts; changes to the tax code will be revenue-neutral.
Let's begin with the basics. According to CBO's baseline budget projections, spending in 2023 will be $5.94 trillion, while revenues will be only $4.96 trillion. Reaching balance in 2023 would imply spending cuts totaling nearly $1 trillion in that year alone—a reduction of more than 16 percent, fully 3.8 percent of the GDP.
Not every category of spending is cut. Defense spending would be increased by more than $500 billion above the baseline during the next decade, and spending for veterans would also rise. That means that non-defense cuts would have to total more than $5.1 trillion.
How would this happen? The details are still murky, but some of the outlines are reasonably clear. The House Republican budget would repeal President Obama's health reform act, transform the Medicare program into a system of premium support, and replace Medicaid with a block grant to the states. Over time, SNAP (the nutrition program once known as food stamps) would also become a block grant. The maximum award available under the Pell Grant program would be frozen, and student loans would be cut substantially. In a budget that pulls few punches, there is no plan for Social Security. Instead, it would require Congress and the president each to offer one.
The House will almost certainly pass this budget resolution, but there is no chance that the Ryan budget will become law. It will, however, have two useful outcomes. First, it will generate a debate over the appropriate goal of long-term fiscal policy: Is it to eliminate the deficit and the debt, to ensure that the debt does not rise as a share of GDP, or something in-between? And second, because the Senate will produce its own resolution, the House version will dramatize the gulf of values and priorities separating the two parties. The American people will face a clear choice. If they want compromise, they will have to insist on it, and hold both parties' feet to the fire.

Where are all the stink bugs?
I'm in Baltimore MD and it's mid June and I haven't noticed a stink bug invasion as I did last year at this time. Is it possible that the hundreds of stinkbugs that I killed last year reduced this year's infestation? Has anyone else noticed a decrease in stink bug sightings? I don't want to put a jinx on this subject by bringing it up, but I'm curious if the rest of the Gardenweb community has noticed what I have.
I've only killed a handful so far and last year at this time I was already pulling plants, because the infestation was so bad. I kept a couple Sun Golds and they started producing again in mid July. By then the stink bugs had moved on.
My nemesis this year is the heat and drought. Harvest has been ongoing for about a month. Will start pulling some plants this weekend.
I can only speak for my own area, but I had very little problems with them. I would conclude that due to the drought the stink bugs,here anyway will have a hard time getting enough moisture to really get started.
It is weird to consider that a normal precipitation year would produce more. But with more disease and bugs. Where a drought may not produce quite as much, but hardly the problems of disease and bugs.
According to the Penn State website, http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/brown-marmorated-stink-bug "Adults will emerge sometime in the spring of the year (late April to mid-May)...", which is when they attacked me last year. That's why I'm wondering where they all are as of 7/2/11. It seems as if they prefer Delaware and the Piedmont of SC so far. I'll update as the condition worsens here in Baltimore.
I'm below Baltimore,MD in Fairfax,VA and I've seen the youngsters mating on my cucumber vines late in the day. Just flick them into a cup of soapy water. They will be showing up later this month in much larger numbers as they continue to feed. Also just received notice that St Gabriels Organic has a Stinkbug Killer Spray
They've just appeared in central Texas, though we've been eating tomatoes for a month or so already now. They were a big problem for me two years ago in late summer, and strangely they never appeared last summer. Maybe too hot for them?
What I'm seeing now is mostly the immature ones, with bright orange soft bodies. They're pretty slow and, from a survival standpoint, pretty dumb as well. They cluster on ONE cherry tomato. So I just reach for it, grab it hard, and smash 6-8 of them in one fell swoop. Makes for a messy hand, but you get a lot of satisfaction from it. So far, I'm just seeing one cluster a day in an area of two or three square yards of cherry tomatoes.
See, if they were smart, they'd spread themselves out over a larger number of fruit.
To the extent they mature, I gotta get me one of those rechargeable hand-vacs, which I hear do a great job of sucking their shield-like black bodies up off your plants.
Well I'm seeing youngsters again about the size of a pencil eraser and flicking them into a cup of soapy water as I did this time last year. However didn't have a large swarm in 2011 and just kept flicking them into the cup of soapy water throughout the summer in the early evening.
ME!! I was wondering the same thing. I'm south of San Antonio and last year was a terrible tomato year. I think I harvested 10 tomatoes. The plants wouldn't produce and the stink bugs and chinch bugs were prolific.
I've found maybe four so far and a couple of worms. We've been eating tomatoes for weeks now and the plants still look good. But this week's heatwave might weaken them.
It's curious. I remove them from my tomatoes, where they are clustered, but the tomatoes they're clustered on don't seem to be damaged. Do they hang out for a while before eating? Or is the damage that they do initially unrecognizable?
I survey for them just about every day, so maybe I'm not giving them a chance to do damage.
I have them on my tomatoes. They hide at the bottom of the plant and deep inside where the foliage is thick. All my tomatoes are damaged by them but not as bad as last year. Mine are not orange I wish they were that easy to find and squash. My hand vac is not strong enough to suck them up because they cling. I should run a long extension cord and use a shop vac but mine are not easy to find even if I did that.

There's Fungus Amongst-Us
Good morn,
This is my second year container gardening using a 5 gallon bucket method. I have about 25 plants. In April they started getting hit with a fungus - mostly the cucumbers, zucchini, and squash. I sprayed the squash with milk and it seemed like it was getting better. A couple days ago it seemed to come back with maybe a rust fungus on the zucchini and the squash has white fuzzy mold spots under the leaves....I went out and bought "Garden Safe Neem Oil Extract 3in1" last night, but am concerned about the safety and effect on bees. It says for organic gardening. Has anyone else been able to combat these problems any other way? Is neem oil a good/safe choice? I am still new to this, but am applying for the Master Gardener course so hopefully I can gain the knowledge to work thru these issues.. Thanks.
I have used cornmeal around the roots to control fungus on my crepe myrtles. They had it all over the leaves. That stopped it, haven't had it again since I did that, only one time about 3 years ago. I figured won't hurt, might help kinda like chicken soup when you're sick.

Comments about Pelican 1652 Foam Set:
needed a replacement for my 1650 case.
i got the good stiff foam.
i know sometimes there is the softer foam that dosent seem to hold up too well.
no matter the foam i never pluck a wall down to a width of 2 squares as it just cant hold together.
3squares seems to be a solid wall though.

Comments about Pelican 1652 Foam Set:
I had an old 1650 case, and I decided it would be great to hold my Hearback Four-Pack. My case had one uncut piece of foam and one that was entirely picked out. So I bought this. Sadly it's only sold in a set of two, so I still have one piece of uncut foam. Also, this is the softer style foam, not the harder stuff that was in my old case. It still works though, and is just as tough, but looks and feels different.
Comments about Pelican 1652 Foam Set:
I needed new foam to sculpt around my camera so I bought this replacement set. I have always liked pick and pluck foam for it's ease of use and installation. I would give it 5 stars, except for one minor complaint that if you pluck too much and leave one or two walls between compartments, you risk the walls rupturing...which hasn't happened yet (cross my fingers). Overall, it's a good value for the price. Unless custom laser cut foam is the same price or cheaper...which it probably ain't.

Collaboration and support for the Action on Patient Safety: High 5s Project
Six countries take formal, concrete step towards preventing patient safety problems
Experts agree that knowledge is of little use if it is not put into practice with proven solutions.
Washington, D.C., November 1, 2007 (PAHO)—A group of six countries, including two Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Member States, took a bold step today in Washington, D.C., to vigorously develop and implement standardized protocols related to patient safety solutions over the next five years.
The solutions for patient safety seek to save lives by improving healthcare security and preventing avoidable catastrophic or disabling events in hospitals and other health facilities due to errors, mistakes and/or adverse events related to medication administration, wrong or mistaken medical and surgical procedures and lack of proper hand hygiene practices, among others.
The signing was part of the Commonwealth Fund's 2007 International Symposium on Health Care Policy, which brings together Ministers of Health of the Commonwealth Countries to debate on healthcare policy and practice.
By signing the unprecedented collaborative action towards the implementation of five concrete, evidence-based and cost effective patient safety protocols, Health Ministers and/or their representatives from Canada and the United States, along with those from Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, formally recognized today in Washington, D.C., the critical and urgent need to act in cooperation and unison to solve and prevent major but avoidable patient safety problems.
The ceremony was attended by several PAHO leaders and experts, including Dr. Carissa Etienne, Assistant Director; Dr. Jonas Gonseth, Associate Expert in Quality of Healthcare Services; Dr. Homero Vasquez, a consultant on Quality of Healthcare Services; and Mr. Babak Mohit, also a PAHO consultant on Quality of Healthcare Services.
Other major attendees were Sir Liam Donaldson, Chairman of the World Alliance for Patient Safety - World Health Organization; Dr. Dennis O'Leary, President of the Joint Commission; Dr. Karen Davis, President of the Commonwealth Fund; and Robin Osborn, Vice President and Director, International Program in Health Policy and Practice, also from the Commonwealth Fund, among many others.
At the end of the event, Dr. Etienne thanked all parties for the work done by the Joint Commission and by the Commonwealth Fund on behalf of patient safety. In referring to the High 5s, Dr. Etienne indicated that "we sincerely hope, and expect, that it will become a vehicle for coordinating the energy and enthusiasm for tackling unsafe care."
It is estimated that those patient safety problems cause harm to at least one out of ten patients in industrialized countries while receiving health care. In developing countries, the probability of patients being harmed in hospitals is higher than in industrialized nations. The risk of healthcare-associated infection in some developing countries is as much as 20 times higher than in developed countries.
"The interest and commitment being shown by the six countries to implement these solutions is inspiring," Sir Liam Donaldson said. The Chief Medical Officer of England and Chair of the World Alliance for Patient Safety - World Health Organization (WHO) - underscored that "over the years to come, risks to patients will be reduced, lives will be saved and many lessons will be learned as a result of the High 5s action being initiated in Washington, D. C., today."
The High 5s Project has developed five standard operating protocols to address five significant patient safety problems, he said. "These protocols will be used in hospitals in the six partner countries over the next five years. And their impact will be monitored."
The selected five solution areas that the six countries agreed to develop and implement within the framework of the High 5s initiative over five years are:
- Managing concentrated injectable medicines
- Assuring medication accuracy at transitions in care
- Communication during patient care handovers
- Improved hand hygiene to prevent healthcare-associated infections, and
- Performance of correct procedure at correct body sites.
The High 5s initiative is supported by the Commonwealth Fund and sponsored by the World Health Organization's (WHO) World Alliance for Patient Safety. The project is coordinated by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Patient Safety, which is led by The Joint Commission and Joint Commission International. It builds on the established partnership of the Commonwealth Fund with Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America.
"The commitment of Health Ministers to this patient safety effort is a significant step towards achieving a high-performance health system in each country. This unique collaboration also promises to serve as a model for fostering cross-national exchange and policy learning," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis.
The Joint Commission indicates that "no adverse event should ever occur anywhere in the world if the knowledge exists to prevent it from happening. Such knowledge is of little use if it is not put into practice."
The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization of the United States governed by a 29-member Board of Commissioners that includes physicians, administrators, nurses, employers, a labor representative, health plan leaders, quality experts, ethicists, a consumer advocate and educators."
Although the collaborative action signed today in Washington includes just two PAHO Member States (Canada and United States), countries throughout the Americas are turning their combined efforts, both regional and national, towards advancing the imperative of quality and safe care.
Ministers of Health of the countries in the Americas gathered last month in Washington, D. C., on the occasion of the 27th Pan American Sanitary Conference approved a resolution CSP27.R10 titled "Ensuring the Quality of Health Care, Including Patient Safety" that urges Member States to "prioritize patient safety and quality of care in sector health policies and programs, including the promotion of an organizational and personal culture of patient safety and quality of care to patients."
PAHO countries also agreed to allocate the necessary resources for developing national policies and programs to promote patient safety and quality of care, involving clients in processes for improving the quality of the health care.
Link of interest
The Pan American Health Organization, founded in 1902, works with all the countries of the Americas to improve the health and quality of life of their peoples. It serves as the Regional Office of the World Health Organization (WHO).
The World Alliance for Patient Safety is a WHO program launched in 2004. The Alliance, chaired by Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer of the United Kingdom, addresses 10 major action areas:
- The Global Patient Safety Challenge will galvanize global commitment and action on a patient safety topic, which addresses a significant area of risk for all countries. In 2005-2006, the Global Patient Safety Challenge is focusing on health care-associated infection with the theme Clean Care is Safer Care. For 2007-2008, the Global Patient Safety Challenge will focus on the topic of safer surgery with the theme Safe Surgery Saves Lives.
- Patients for Patient Safety will ensure that the voice of patients is at the core of the patient safety movement worldwide.
- Reporting and learning will promote valid reporting, analytical and investigative tools and approaches that identify sources and causes of risks in ways that promote learning and preventative action.
- Taxonomy for Patient Safety will develop an internationally acceptable system for classifying patient safety information to promote more effective international learning.
- Research for patient safety will facilitate an international research agenda which supports the safer health care in all WHO member states.
- Safety Solutions will translate knowledge into practical solutions and disseminate these solutions internationally.
- Safety in Action: High 5s will spread best practices for implementation of changes in organizational, team and clinical practices to improve patient safety.
- Technology and patient safety will focus on the opportunities to harness new technologies to improve patient safety.
- Care of acutely ill patients will identify key patient safety priorities for action in the care of seriously ill patients.
- Patient safety knowledge at your fingertips will work with Member States and partners to gather and share knowledge on patient safety developments globally in the form of a global report.
Further information on the work of the Alliance is available at WHO's web siteWHO's web site.
Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission seeks to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of health care accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits nearly 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States, including more than 8,000 hospitals and home care organizations, and more than 6,300 other health care organizations that provide long term care, assisted living, behavioral health care, laboratory and ambulatory care services. The Joint Commission also accredits health plans, integrated delivery networks, and other managed care entities. In addition, The Joint Commission provides certification of disease-specific care programs, primary stroke centers, and health care staffing services. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Learn more about The Joint Commission here.
Joint Commission International (JCI) was established in 1997 as a division of Joint Commission Resources, Inc. (JCR), a private, not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission. Through international accreditation, consultation, publications and education programs, JCI extends The Joint Commission's mission worldwide by helping to improve the quality of patient care by assisting international health care organizations, public health agencies, health ministries and others evaluate, improve and demonstrate the quality of patient care and enhance patient safety in more than 60 countries.

Mariah Carey may be gearing up to celebrate her wedding anniversary and the first birthday of her twins Monroe and Moroccan on April 30, but the diva just got some bad news splashed across the tabloids. Her estranged sister Alison Carey Scott is suffering from liver cancer, on top of other problems.
Mariah Carey performed for teh first time since giving birth to twins in April. Carey perfromed in an intimate setting for a crowd of a few hundred people at New York's Gotham Hall Thursday ngiht.
We all wish Nick Cannon well. The host of America's Got Talent is recovering from kidney failure. His wife Mariah Carey knows just what will make him feel better and get better quickly. A Ferrari !!!!!!!!!!
As Nick Cannon continues to recover from mild kidney failure, Mariah Carey is passing along good news about her husband's progress. "Nick is in stable condition with a good prognosis, hopefully he'll be discharged within 2 days," she tweeted today. "As always he's laughing and in good spirits."
Mariah Carey and John Legend share the spotlight with Charlie Brown in their new video for 'When Christmas Comes,' an updated version of a song from Carey's 2010 album 'Merry Christmas II You.'
British sailors on the HMS Ocean are getting some well deserved attention for the Carey hit, "All I Want For Christmas Is You".
As the creator of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' the only song of the past 20 years strong enough to become a holiday classic, Mariah Carey has an obvious talent for writing festive songs for the season. On 'When Christmas Comes,' she joins John Legend for a sultry duet about giving the gift of love.
Mariah Carey and her hubby Nick Cannon have revealed the names of their twins born on Saturday.
Congratulations to Mariah Carey! She delivered two babies, a son and daughter, in Los Angeles on Saturday --
New Year's Eve is one of those love-it-or-hate-it holidays and odds are you're going to hear "Auld Lang Syne" at least 500 times. Our guess is that folks simply want to know what the song actual

Thanks so much irina...appreciate the nice comments. Yes it is in bright light, under my entry way, gets NO direct sun at all. I was a little worried that it wouldn't bloom without direct sunlight, but lucky for me I was wrong.
Here is what it looks like today. More blooms have opened up, and I was very surprised the flowers are lasting as long as they have. Thanks again!

Additionally, each trap is equipped with an easy to use design and safety pin to eliminate false firings. The trap come fully assembled and with illustrated operating instructions on setting and placement. As the most effective mole trap on the market, you can rest assured that your yard is safe from the damaging effects of moles. Ideally, this mole trap should be placed into the tunnel with the tunnel portion beneath the trigger pan partially blocked. The trigger must rest on the blockage. It is because of this placement that traps works best for moles, since their natural instinct is to reopen the tunnel. In clearing the tunnel, they will push up on the trigger, releasing the powerful trap. Spring is the best time to trap moles because newly-made surface tunnels are easy to spot. However, moles can be trapped during any season except in very cold or dry weather.Learn More

wrong tulips coming up x_x
Well, the first few of my tulips bloomed yesterday and today. One of the sets that opened is a very plain white tulip... of which I did not plan any. x_X And it can't be a volunteer or leftover because that bed is new this year, it had only sedum and periwinkle before. So now I guess I have to figure out which of the approximately 20 types of tulips I planted got swapped for these boring things, and try to convince the company to send me replacements for next year. I really hope they weren't the Ice Cream ones, I was particularly looking forward to those and they were the most expensive per bulb. Bad me for not writing down what I planted where though. -_-
The ones I do have accounted for so far are Apricot Impression (noticeably the largest tulips of the whole batch and the first to open), Claudia (except for being too tall these forced the best, as well as being among the first to open outside, they seem very hard although not really useful for breeding because the ovary is sterile), Yellow Crown, Yellow Spider (possibly my favorite), and an orange single which is either Ballerina or Aperitif (the flowers seem extra-fragile, a little wind and rain and they barely look like tulips - going to remove and discard those).
I have had multiple bulbs from multiple sources turn out to be different than I purchased. None mail order from reputable companies like Brent & Becky's but all purchased locally in packages. Costco, Wal*Mart, Lowe's and Home Depot. I no longer purchase bulbs in packages or plants that aren't blooming from such sources. Some people might not care what color or cultivar but I do. I guess it is what I get for trying to save a buck. :(
Buyorsell, that happened to me this year as well, only out of the individual bulb bins! I think somebody at the nursery got mixed up while labeling - I've got Banja Luka coming up all over the place instead of Dordogne! (On the plus side: I'd never grown Banja Luka before and it turns out I love it - I'll be ordering from Brent & Becky's this year, though, all the same!)
I've got red and orange tulips and I don't plant red or orange flowers. Can't remember what they were supposed to be. I keep thinking they'll stop coming up eventually but they are years old....
I've got pale yellow Asiatic lilies that were supposed to be Regale Orientals....gave one batch away too.
It is frustrating.
Well, I've got a story like this too...
The "red and White" striped Rembrandt-type tulips my teenage daughter bought for me in Amsterdam just started blooming...and they are deep raspberry pink with a white blush! If she asks me (She's off at college) I don't know what to say.
"deep raspberry pink with a white blush"
-that actually sounds real nice, but I'm sure since they were something special out of Holland you would want them to be what they were supposed to be.
I planted '60 mxd pastel' from Sam's club the year before last.... it was a mix of strong bright yellow. Another bag of mxd darwins turned out to be a yellow/red, pale pink mx, the other bag with the same tag turned out purple and dark pink.... nice colors and I'm not really complaining, but two tulip varieties in a bag doesn't seem like a "rainbow of color" to me..... also (unlike the original poster), I didn't put down good money for a specific variety and end up with a dissapointing show.

lb a/ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SARAH E. BISHOP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, administratrix of the estate of GEORGE W. BIsHoP, deceased, late of J ersey City, Hudson county, and State of New Jersey, and a citizen of the United States, do hereby declare and say that the said GEORGE W. BISHOP in his lifetime invented new and useful Improvements in Methods of and Apparatus for Making Inked Ribbons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of this invention is to devise an improved method'of, and means for, impregnating or saturating ribbons for type-Writing machines, hand-stamps, 850., with the inking ,material or composition, an essential in the result being a thorough and uniform application of the inking substance throughout all parts of the ribbon.
The improved method of inking a ribbon in accordance with this invention consists in immersing an intermediate portion of the ribbon in a liquid inking material or compound, and passing and moving such portion between layers or portions of the ribbon which are disposed at difierent sides thereof, and at the same time imparting a pressure or tension for the contact of the adjacent outer portions of the ribbon upon the said intermediate portion.
The improved method of inking a ribbon under this invention further consists in immersing an intermediate portion of the ribbon in a liquid inking material or compound then expressing a portion of the absorbed material from the immersed ribbon portion and passing and moving such portion between layers or portions of the ribbon which are disposed at different sides thereof, and at the same time imparting a pressure or tension for the contact of the adjacent outer portions of the ribbon, upon the said intermediate portion.
The improved method of inking a ribbon.
ratus is illustrated, and the improved method I of inking the ribbon will be made manifest conjointly with the description of the construction and operation of the apparatus, and in said drawings.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the machine showing the arrangement and course of the ribbon in and through the same. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are perspective views in illustration of parts which will be hereinafter more particularly described. Fig. 6 is a view in the nature of a diagram, in many respects resembling Fig. 1, to more clearly indicate the particular preferred course of the ribbon through the machine and the disposition of parts or sections of the ribbon relative to each other.
In the drawings, A A represent the framing of the machine consisting of parallel side uprights, a a, and cross members or braces, b b.
B represents a vat or tank for holding the inking material or composition supported within which is the horizontal cross member, d, preferablya roller. This roller is mounted for free rotation on the frame, d which comprises the posts, (1 01 that pass through apertures therefor in the cross rod, b, which forms apart of, or is supported by the main frame. The posts, d (1 are held in adjustment at any height in the tank by the set screws, (1 d Intermediately of the machine at an upper portion are ribbon supporting and tension rolls,f,f ,f and f f and f allfree to rotate and intermediate of said sets of rolls is a ten sfii roll, g, which exerts an upward yielding pressure. The ribbon is indicated as drawn from a roll at the left and finally taken up by the wheel or drum, h, at the right.
Scraper devices for acting on the ribbon are indicated at D, and there are various other guide and tension rolls advantageously embodied and arranged in the machine as will be incidentally mentioned in connection with the description of the course of the ribbon to be treated.
The end portion of the ribbon is drawn off from the supply roll at c, and carried over the rolls, 10, and 11, and under the intermediate stay or brace rods, thence down under and upwardly from the roll, 14:, adjacent the scrapers to and over the rolls,f and and under and in contact with the roll,f over roll, g, under roll,f ,-and over roll,f to encircle bya bight the take up drum, h; the ribbon then passes rearwardly around the roll, 15, forwardly to and around the roll, 16, upwardly around the roll, 17,and downwardly to and around the roll, 18, thence rearwardly and upwardly around the roll, 19, forwardly to and around the roll,f', thence under rolls,f and f, and over and in contact with the tension roll, g, thence rearwardly under rolls,f and f ,in contact with the latter and in contact with and over and rearwardly from the roll,f, thence downwardly and rearwardly past and adjacent the roll, let, under and upwardly around and in contact with the submerged roll, din the var, D; the ribbon thence passes upwardly and forwardly again in contact with the said roll, 14, over roll,f, and f ,in contact with the latter and under and in contact with roll,f thence above and adjacent the tension roll, 9, under and adjacent the roll, f oy'er and in contact with roll, f and thence extended to and closely around the take up drum, being bound by its very extremity to the rim of the latter.
For convenience and brevity of description the portion of the ribbon between the ribbon supply roll and take up roll will be termed the upper layer,that between the take up and the roller (2', in the order of description above, the under layer, and that the course of which waslaterally described as extending from the roller, (Z, forwardly to and in encircling engagement with the take up drum, the middle layer.
Rotation of the drum by means of the crank, 7L2, insures a winding of the ribbon upon the drum andaforward travel of the middle layer from the place of immersion at the roller, (Z, portions of the middle layer being in close contact with the upper and lower layers or both as seen at different sections of the course between the roll, 14, and the roll,f, and said layers are forced with some pressure the one upon the other by the supporting and tension rolls. The under layer has, as the middle layer travels forwardlya rearward travel and rubbing contact upon the middle layer, while at the same time the upper layer has the contact with the middle layer its travel is for ward and practically at the same rate as that of the middle layer.
All parts of the ribbon are given the same speed during the operation of the machine,
the middle layer being wound onto the drum just so fast as the upper layer is withdrawn from the supply. The portion of the ribbon is continued from the upper layer or course around the drum slack, so that as the inked ribbon enlarges the drum, so to speak, noimpediment or bind will be imparted by the encirclingportion of the first course of theribbon. The said slack portion under the operation of the machine will never be drawn taut, because the draft tension on said slack portion by the feed and pressure rolls insu res its travel only at the same rate of speed as the other portions of the ribbon are run. The ribbon after being immersed in the vat containing the inking composition is next relieved of considerable portion of the coloring matter which it has absorbed on being brought subject to the action of the scrapers which insures in a degree a forcing in and evening of the divisible coloring matter retained within the interstices of the fabric,and a uniformity is further imparted in the impregnation of the ribbon by the inking matter owing to the cont-act and rubbing action of the one layer upon the other. Thus while it is seen that the middle layer becomes perfected as described the upper and lower layers receive by absorption and the rubbing-in process a certain amount of the coloring matter before the time of their immersion.
In practice a course of the ribbon from the supply roll to the take up drum the same be ing intermediately disposed and treated as described, insures the complete and uniform inking of the roll.
After having threaded the machine, as the carrying through of the ribbon in the manner described is termed, it is desirable to permit the layers of ribbon to remain in the arrangement described and when it is desired to remove the inked ribbon from the drum such may be done by cutting with a shears one or more thicknesses of the ribbon which is wound around the drum and then drawing the so wound portion off therefrom. It will be noticed that a portion of the rim of the take up drum is constituted by the movable section, h, which is held in place by the key orwedge, h. On desiring to insert a scissors for cutting one or more of the ribbon convo lutions the movable section is inwardly forced.
The drum may constitute a measuring wheel, one convolution of ribbon thereon being of the desired marketable length.
The scraper device, D, embodies lower and upper frames, 2', j, obliquely disposed in parallelism adjacent and at an inclination corresponding to the course of the lower and middle ribbon layers, the lowerone being secured to the framing of the machine, and the upper one mounted for a yielding movement toward and away from the lower one. Said frames each carry a couple of scraper-blades, m, each of which blades is curved or inclined angularly to the general plane of travel of l regarded advantageous, as they most quickly the ribbon and the blades have their edges extended from the frame carrying them slightly beyond the said general plane of travel of the ribbon. The lower frame has at its ends the rigid posts, 11, t", which extend through and beyond apertures therefor in the upper frame, and have their extremities screw threaded. The upper frame has at each end the pair of rigid upwardly extended posts, 7' j and n, represents a bar at each end of the scraper device having holes through it for.
the free passage of the posts, 3' j, and 2', through them. rounding the post and exerting a pressure to force the upper frame away from the lower. The bar, at, is restrained in any adjusted position along the said posts by the nut, 3' and the springs,q q, resisted bythe upper bar exert a pressure upon the upper frame to force it inwardly and in counter action to the spring, 0. For expressing a greater part of the ink composition from the ribbon the nut is turned down and the offset of the edges of the adjacent scrapers become increased and the springs all becoming more compressed the movable scraper frame is less sensitive, and has its yielding movement against a greater spring stress. The turning of the nut effects the automatic regulation of all of the springs.
The tension device between the sets of rolls, fif and f and f f and f, will be now described in detail.
15 trepresent posts or rods which extend vertically both above and below the upper middle portion of the framing at each side of the machine. The pending members of said rods support a cross bar, a, which is vertically adjustable thereon.
'0 represents a frame having its upper cross bar, 12 apertured for a vertical play upon the upper projected portions of the rods, 25 t, and the pending members, 22 of the said frame which are carried by the cross member, '0 passloosely through andbelowapertures inthe said lower cross bar, it. The spiral springs, 12', encircling the pending frame members, '0 exert an upward forcing action upon the frame, the springs being at their lower ends resisted by the cross bar and bear at their upper ends against the shoulders of the said pending frame members to force the frame upwardly. The lower ends of the spindle formed members are provided below the bar, u, with the nuts or stops, v The aforesaid tension roll, g, is supported between the pending members, 0 of said frame, 12. The lower extremities of the vertical rods, t, t, are screw threaded theypassing loosely through and below the bar, a, receiving the nuts thereon, as shown, which usually remain very near the lower ends of said rods. Spiral springs, to, are provided to encircle the rods, t, bearing between the lower edges of the framing, A,
and the bar, u, for exerting a downward pressure on the latter. Said springs, w, are
0, represents a spring sur-.
and positively force the bar downwardly relative to the pending portions of the rods, t, and decrease the liability of said bar becoming cramped or bound when the nuts there-.
under are turned to lessen the tension, which latter result is accompanied by so lowering the bar on or relative to the rods and parts, t, t, and 12 12 as to increase the distance between the bar, a, and the shouldered portions of said parts, '0
Certain of the rolls over which the ribbon is guided have collars, as, closely fitting thereon and adapted by friction to be held in place when adjusted and also adapted to be slid outwardly or inwardly on the rolls to form guides or guards for ribbons of different widths all so thatthe layers as above described will be, the one exactly over another.
Having thus described this invention what I claim as the invention of the late GEORGE W. BIsHoP is:-
1. Theimprpved method of inking a ribbon which consists in immersing an intermediate portion of the ribbon in a liquid inking material or compound, and passing and moving such portion between layers or portions of the ribbon which are disposed at different sides thereof, and at the same time imparting apressure or tension for the contact of the adjacent outer portions of the ribbon upon the said intermediate portion, substantially as described.
2. Theimproved method of inking a ribbon which consists in immersing an intermediate portion of the ribbon in a liquid inking material or compound, then expressing a portion of the absorbed material from the immersed ribbon portion and passing and moving such portion between layers or portions of the ribbon which are disposed at different sides thereof, and at the same time imparting a pressure or tension for the contact of the adjacent outer portions of the ribbon, upon the said intermediate portion, substantiallyas described.
3. The improved method of inkinga ribbon which consists in passing the ribbon through a liquid inking material or compound, then expressing a portion of the absorbed material from the immersed ribbon then passing 7 the course of the ribbon of a movably mounted scraper blade also mounted edgewise to the course of the ribbon having springs applied thereto for-exerting a pressure thereon away from the fixed blade, and counterbalancing springs for exerting a pressure thereon to-- ward the fixed blade, and means for placing all of the said springs under a greater orless compression, substantially as and for the purpose described.
5. In a ribbon-inking machine the combination with a blade and a support on which the same is mounted having the posts extended therefrom with their extremities screw threaded, of the movable frame having the scraperblade thereon and having the posts atits ends, of the bar apertured and fitted over the said posts, the thumb-nut, and the spring between the two blade-supports, and one or more springs between the movable blade-support and the said bar, substantially as described.
6. In a ribbon-inking machine,the combination with the vat for the inkingmaterial having a roll orrod therein, of several guide rolls above the vat, and a means for causing the travel of the ribbon whereby an upper layer thereof may be drawn past and in engagement with said rolls and other rolls in proximity to said rolls with whichone or more other layers may have guiding and tension engagements, and by which said layers may have rubbing movements one upon another in opposite directlons, and scraper-blades located above the vat in proximity to the course of movement of one of the ribbon layers, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
7. In a ribbon-inking machine the combination with a vat for holding inking material having a transverse member submerged therein, of a take up drum, separated sets of guide rolls and a yielding tension roller intermediate thereof and a scraper device between the vat and said rolls, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
8. In a ribbon-inking machinethe combination with an ink-vat and means for guiding and moving the ribbon into and away from same, of sets of guide rolls, and a tension device, intermediate thereof, consisting of a bar or roller and a carrier therefor which is mounted for a movement at an angle to the travel of the ribbon through said guide rolls and a spring for imparting a yielding resistance to said support, substantially as de scribed.
