By COLLEEN MCCARTHY
Newly appointed Starkville School District Superintendent Lewis Holloway briefly outlined some of the areas of improvement he saw in the district during his first official visit during a special school board meeting Friday morning.
Holloway spent the last few days meeting with district officials, teachers and community members to discuss the next steps for the district. Among the priorities the new superintendent listed were updated technology, facilities improvements and policy issues.
Though he was worried about finding the resources to make the necessary improvements, after working with district Comptroller Rob Logan, Holloway said he believes the district could raise up to $7 million for projects.
ŌĆ£It makes me feel good that there are some possibilities for things we could do, and I think there is a possibility of realignment of some resources,ŌĆØ he said.
Holloway said he would like to get SMART Boards and other technology in every classroom to help teachers provide engaging lessons, though he was pleased with some of the technology already present in the district.
His current school district in Georgia purchases computers and other technology items, like iPods, for teachers and then slowly deducts the cost of those items from their paychecks. The program is just one of several his district uses to keep teachers up-to-date on technology.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs a very positive thing for the staff because they feel like the district is trying to help them,ŌĆØ Holloway said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not coming in with a plan ŌĆö there are some things that we might have to consider, we might have to adapt, to change in some way.ŌĆØ
Busing and transportation was also one of his priorities. Holloway and Assistant Superintendent Walter Gonsoulin are looking into the possibility of leasing some buses to help update the fleet.
ŌĆ£When I see these buses driving around town, IŌĆÖm thinking that you must have a great maintenance staff to keep those buses going,ŌĆØ Holloway said.
The new superintendent said he would also like to explore making changes to the staffing policy. If a school needs to add a new staff member, a principal has to go to the superintendent for approval. Holloway said he would like to see the policy change to a more mathematical approach to prevent favoritism.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve found that X-number of students means you get X-number of teachers, and you get a guidance counselor, you get an assistant principal load, so itŌĆÖs all very mathematical. That way, all the staff know how the schools are staffed and itŌĆÖs all fair. There are no favorites,ŌĆØ Holloway said.
Holloway has pledged to spend the first 100 days of his employment observing how things work within the district before implementing any significant changes, but heŌĆÖs eager to get started.
Holloway will be back in the district during the first week of April. That visit will focus less on meetings and more on getting the work started, Holloway said.
His contract officially begins on July 1, but Holloway said he would like to move to Starkville and get started by early to mid-June.
Among the strengths he witnessed within the district, Holloway highlighted the work going on within Starkville High SchoolŌĆÖs White House, where the art department is located.
ŌĆ£It was probably the greatest example of multidisciplinary education IŌĆÖve ever seen. You had art; you had music; you had woodworking; and you had kids that were engaged that were music students, art students, athletes,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£All throughout the district, I think the theme that needs to get out is the strength of your art, your drama and your extracurriculars.ŌĆØ
Holloway said it was clear that the whole community was strongly in support of the school district, from the local government to the parents, which he described as the most passionate heŌĆÖs ever met.
ŌĆ£The resounding theme from (the parents) was that the district was communicating to them. I donŌĆÖt know if thatŌĆÖs the perception or the reality,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£They want to be heard, and there needs to be some sort of vehicle there to show that we are listening to what they have to say.ŌĆØ

Recycle aluminum...Why?
This is the winning elementary level speech that recently took fifth-grade Rocky Branch Elementary School student Graden Gribble to top honors at the state Conservation Speaking Contest.
Graden is the son of Mary and Phil Gribble of the town of Clifton.
"BAM! You slam the door in your sister's face. She just got done trying to make you recycle the aluminum pop can that you just threw away. And all this time you've been thinking, "What's the big deal?"

This book was instrumental in helping me to understand all of the varying motives of communication. The author did painstaking research into conversational analysis and does an excellent job of summarizing the different theories that are out there with regard to this topic. Anyone interested in the millenium-long "Language-Thought" debate will appreciate this discussion on the different theories of communication; of which "talk" theory has largely and sadly been left out (in the US).
On a personal level, I found it not only extremely interesting to read, it also helped me to see how communication develops and is used. It is one thing to experience conversation, it is another to read it and see logged how paralanguage is used in conversation and how both paralanguage and language direct the flow of meaning and interpretation of meaning. Politeness theories and discussions of turn-taking patterns and how we change what we say to accommodate others to maintain our relationships is very interesting. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the study of language theory and it should not be left out of the topic of linguistics if meaning is not only derived by what you say but also by how you say it and in what context you say it.
I would not recommend the book to anyone looking for easy answers, though it is insightful and gives practical information which can help us communicate better. It is scientific research but not unreadable to the serious student. It is for the serious language and psychology of language evaluator.
In short, to me as a language teacher who saw the influence of culture and context on language learning and conversational patterns from living overseas a good amount of my life, it is a jewel of a book.

Looking for Chicago area lawn care company: Not mowing, just weed
After years of wanting to avoid chemicals on the lawn, my "grass" is now more weeds than good grass. Last fall I got desperate and killed a large area of crabgrass with rounup. When it was all dead I raked it out, and sowed new seed. I thought that was the answer. It looked great last fall and this spring. But now, in midsummer, all that good new grass has died out, and crabgrass has seeded itself heavily in that are. It looks even worse than it did last summer. In the back, my "lawn" is mostly ground ivy and yellow woodsorrel.
This is beyond me. I need to hire some lawn care company to get rid of this. I've tried various chemicals, but getting the right dilution is near impossible. And I don't have the time for it.
I won't use TruGreen (aka Chemlawn) because I used them a long time back and they were so slapdash they missed a lot of areas. My neighbors still use them, and the application is still slapdash. I have large areas of garden beds, I need someone conscientious enough that the garden will not accidentally get sprayed.
Does anyone know of a Chicago area company they are happy with? I'm in the NW suburbs. It's a shot in the dark, but I thought I'd at least ask. Thanks!
You're looking for someone to get rid of your weeds and install a lawn. Any landscaper can do that. The trick comes after the lawn is up and growing. You are apparently doing something wrong to get crabgrass year after year.
I have not use anything but organic fertilizer (not compost) in my lawn since 2002 and have not seen any crabgrass. Weeds come and go depending on the drought and my time to go pull them. This year I have overdosed with organic fertilizer by applying a full application of 20 pounds of corn gluten meal per 1,000 square feet every month since April. The lawn has never looked this good. In fact my wife is a little perturbed because we have one of very few lawns that does not have any dead spots in it (we've had only 5 inches of rain in the past 10 months). I water according to the local ordinance for Stage II drought conditions and the lawn looks scary good. Besides the overdose of organic fertilizer, all I do is water and mow.
Before you call a landscaper, please help us to help you some more by answering a few questions.
What kind of grass do you (or did you) have?
How have you been watering? How often and how long each time?
How have you been mowing? How often and how high/low?
How often do you fertilize and what do you use?
I don't know what kind of grass I have. I'm in the Midwest, so it's no fancy variety like zoysia or St. Augustine. The bag of grass seed I last used has many kinds listed on it, which look about the same as what it was originally sodded with 25 years ago.
I don't want to treat the weeds myself. I can't. This is already beyond my ability. I've tried weed and feed products, preemergence crabgrass products, weedkillers, over many years, and none have had any real effect. All I know is, the weeds, ground ivy and crabgrass keep multiplying. I tried killing it all with Roundup last fall, in a couple of 12 x 12 foot sections, and now those areas are the worst part of the lawn. The newly seeded grass (which I added to this spring, too) basically died out as soon as it got hot. Grass usually goes dormant here in the summer. This year, though, with lots of rain, it still looks green.
I water when the garden seems dry. I have many garden beds, which I monitor pretty carefully. The grass gets water, when they get water. But we have had so much rain, it hasn�t been necessary to water anything since June.
We fertilize twice a year, spring and fall. Mowing height: my husband does this: medium, I guess?
If I can't find a week control company, my next option is to hire someone to pull out everything and re-sod.
It sounds to me like your lawn could be doing OK based off of the answers you gave. I'm sure there are multiple different landscaping companies in your area. FInd a reputable one and go with them. There are companies that don't know much about the grass they treat and are mostly just looking to earn a buck. Other companies are devoted to making your lawn look good. Long short, is - choose a good company even though they will cost more. Unfortunately I don't know of a specific one.

June 1st, it's not officially summer yet, but it sure feels like it. The weekend is upon us and we got some fresh music for your ear drums to get you going. It's Five Hour Friday people, enjoy!
The Miami Ski Team, just by their name alone could probably dominate the playlists of skiers everywhere, but they also are killer producers and dope DJs so it's an easy add to your iPod.
DJ Breeazy makes it back into Five Hour Friday with his most recent mix, Bass to you Face. We're unsure if he means bass, as in a bass fish, to your face. Tweet at him for clarification.
Been listening to this mix all week on BPM. It's Avicii, it's good.
This is a cool mix. It's an 8bit themed mix so any EDM song that has been produced with an 8bit 'crushed' sounding synth made the cut. 8bit video game clips also in there... Obiviously.
Benzi dropped this mix a few months ago, but it's sounding really good right about now. Enjoy.

Wood Burning vs Vented logs...
I have an interesting situation but could be manageable. My wife wants a nice looking fire on the weekend when home and we currently have vented logs in our full fireplace. The home was built in 1975 and has the original fireplace and unknown dated vented logs.
I am torn between trying to figure out how to get the vented logs in working order (what the hell the sand is there for, the vermiculite, and fear of gas spilling into the house) or ripping out this old setup and installing a new gate and gate pipe for a real wood burning fireplace. I am seeking some advice from those out there on the forum and considering these factors:
- Chimney appears to be in good order but would need to be checked out by chimney sweep.
- I am pretty experienced with working around the house but hesitant to do anything with either combustibles or electricity.
- In a move of genius and prior to the fireplace need discussion, we mounted our 42 HDTV above the fireplace, about 8" above the mantle and 3ft from the top of the opening to the fireplace.
- The vented logs appear to be good although they look dated. There is a built in screen and door combo for the fireplace opening.
- We are currently on Natural Gas ($.99 per therm fixed through winter) and wood appears to be around $150-$200 for a full cord of good wood.
What are the best options given the experience of those out there who have similar situations?
Gas log sets are good for decoration but lousy as a source of heat. Like all regular fireplaces, they suck a lot of heated air from the room they are in up the chimney, and the cold air that replaces that heated air must be heated by your furnace at considerable cost. Also, the considerable heat produced by the burning gas mostly goes straight up the flue, with little being radiated into the house.
A conventional fireplace can be thought to be perhaps 10% efficient, often a lot less.
My suggestion would be to have a fireplace repairman come in to inspect and maintain the gas log set, which may be useable pretty much as it is, if you are lucky.
A year ago I would have charged $95 to do this kind of job. (now retired) If there are repairs needed, you will learn how much it would cost to make those repairs beyond the basic labor charge.
If you chose to remove the gas burner and piping, I could have done that for the same charge.
But think carefully about burning wood. That's a lot of work and rather dirty. Most people with wood fireplaces use them only rarely. Many people with gas log sets use them quite a bit or a lot.
But they aren't cheap--- probably about $1.00/hour to operate based on your cost of gas. And for that you get very little net heat added to your home.
Gas log set can be quite attractive, but nothing can really beat a wood fire if you are willing to do the necessary work and pay the costs.
Can you burn wood in a vented fire box? I just bought a condo that has a vented firebox. It is a three flat and i was told that the unit downstairs the tennant was burning wood in his and almost burned down the whole building. This was before I bought and moved in and now I just saw the new tennant below me having a palet of wood being deliverd and it scares the hell out of me. Ahhh I miss my house in the burbs, thx for the information

Ford Escort
I have a 1999 Ford Escort LX with about 75,000 miles on it. Yesterday it stopped blowing cold air and is now blowing air like the vent was on. The air is not hot just cold. I took it to a shop and they said it was full of freon and had no leaks but that it was getting no power to the compressor relay box. Is this something I can fix and where exactly is it located at? None of the books I have looked at have a detailed diagram that shows where it is located. I really don't want to pay $300.00 that they want to charge me to fix it. Thanks for your help.

By compressor relay box, does that mean the ccrm, known as constant control relay box? How did they diagnose this? Ccrm is usually on top of the radiator, under the plastic shield. These are complicated systems, a c, and require knowledge to properly diagnose, unless it's something simple such as blown fuse, breaker, obvious broken wire, etc. I would check the above parts myself first, check all the electrical connections on the related a c parts in the engine compartment. Good luck

Lievremont justifies Parra switch
ESPNscrum Staff
October 12, 2011
Morgan Parra's switch to fly-half provoked outcry in France © Getty Images
French coach Marc Lievremont has admitted Francois Trinh-Duc's poor form forced him into the much talked about tactical re-shuffle.
Lievremont opted for Morgan Parra in the half-back role alongside Dimitri Yachvili, despite his lack of game-time in the number ten shirt, against the All Blacks in their Pool A clash and the French coach, who is no stranger to making controversial selection decisions, admits it was an option he never doubted.
The French coach said: "From the moment I realised that François Trinh Duc wasn't at his best level and that he seemed to doubt himself, and that David Skrela was forced to withdraw due to injury, the choice of naming Morgan at 10 became obvious."
The coach was also not deterred by stories coming out of the All Blacks camp that some of their players - most notably Ma'a Nonu and Sonny Bill Williams - were relishing the prospect of coming up against the 80kg Parra.
"I heard all sorts of things at that time," Lièvremont said. "What makes me laugh was that, if anything, it was from an attacking point of view that I could have had doubts. From the defence side of things, I never worried for Morgan. He is a great defender in the one-on-one contests, maybe better than François (Trinh Duc) whose qualities are rightly praised in that area. He is brave and never escapes from confrontations."
Lièvremont agrees that there are valid comparisons between Parra and Christophe Deylaud, the diminutive fly half who played for France in the early to mid 1990s. "Yes, there is a little of that in him. Like Christophe, all is happening up here," he added. "He absorbs the game systems very quickly. He is always in demand for something, asks questions and wants to understand everything. It's a guy who, at 22, is already a coach at Fédérale 2 [French 4th division] level. And that is not a common thing."
Meanwhile, French winger Vincent Clerc has admitted he will draw on his semi-final heartbreak of 2007 ahead of Saturday's semi-final with Wales. Clerc said: "There is a huge amount of pressure in the knockout games.
"We know what it is like to be knocked out, and it made it all the more disappointing that we were eliminated in France last time. People will understand how motivated I am. As a squad we are very motivated. We know this could be the end for us, so it is an important moment. We have been given an opportunity, and we need to make the most of it."
France scrum-half Yachvili, who has been troubled by a thigh injury, has no doubt about his fitness for the Eden Park clash, and he supports Clerc's theory that Wales will be dangerous opponents. "We have beaten Wales three times in the last three years, but we also know they have improved, especially with so many young players in their team.
"Wales are a team that uses space on the field, and their defence is immense. I think they have been under-estimated. In your professional career, a World Cup semi-final is an exceptional moment, and we are going to have to go after Wales and exert a lot of pressure."

Beyond The Firmament
Posted May 22, 2008
A reviewer
The whole conflict between faith and science has been trumped up. Does this surprise you? This book will convince you. This book is divided up into four sections. 'What do we know and how do we know it?' is a preliminary, basic overview of what is called 'epistemology' in fancy terms, making distinctions between natural and special revelation that carry the next two sections. 'What can the Bible tell us about nature?' is a look at the special revelation in the Bible and discusses the boundaries of what it can tell us and why we can't just assume over-literalized interpretations when interpreting it. In the next section, 'What can nature tell us about itself?', Glover describes what science can tell us about the beginning of the universe and the origin of our solar system, and then describes why radiometric dating methodology is reliable. The last section, 'What about evolution?' is a summary of evolutionary theory. Glover's strong points are his knack for analogy and his conversational style. His humility and honesty about the limitations of science make bearable the experience of shattering the 'godless atheist' facade so many evangelicals have constructed in front of mainstream science. He explains some heady concepts 'including a bit of mathematics and physics' very simply, and just in case it starts seeming too dense, he doesn't linger there long for more advanced readers, he provides references to more technical works. This book was not meant to grapple with theological issues associated with Adam or the Fall it does try to provide a case for not simply dismissing any data that might make us take a second look at our first guess on those topics. This book is accessible but not condescending, enjoyable and humorous at times but not a slick car-sales job, earnest but not overbearing. For anyone who might be interested in looking into the issue of evolutionary creationism 'Glover's term of choice in lieu of 'theistic evolution'', Beyond the Firmament is the place to start.

NBC Cancels Betty White's 'Off Their Rockers'
The hidden-camera series finished its second season Tuesday up two-tenths in the key demo.
NBC is saying farewell to Betty White's Off Their Rockers.
The network has canceled the White-hosted entry Off Their Rockers, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
PHOTOS: THR Emmy Roundtable: Behind-the-Scenes With TV's Hilarious Comedy Actresses
The series, which ran for two seasons, featured White overseeing the elderly playing pranks on younger folks in a hidden-camera fashion similar to Candid Camera. The show launched with a preview in April 2012 timed to an NBC special tribute for White's 90th birthday earning 12 million total viewers.
Following its 12-episode run from January to May 2012, NBC renewed the series for a second run of 14 installments, which started with back-to-back airings in January into February with its final four episodes airing March 19, June 25 and July 9.
VIDEO: Betty White: I Still Get Stage Fright
Rockers' most recent in-season run -- which was used to help fill holes on the network and often held up well -- averaged a 1.5 rating with adults 18-49 and 5.3 million viewers. The series failed to really see an uptick when factoring in Live+Seven-Day numbers as the show never played well with the DVR crowd. Since returning this summer, Rockers has been much softer. Last week it pulled a series low of a 0.8 rating in the key demo, though it did rebound significantly (25 percent) in its second-season finale with White and Ed Asner.
Meanwhile, off-network repeats of Rockers, which is produced by Kinetic Content, have aired on Lifetime.
For her part, White continues to be a draw for TV Land. The Viacom-owned network opened the 24-episode fifth season of White starrer Hot in Cleveland with a live episode. The series will reach the landmark 100th episode later this season.

Will sweet peppers ripen after picking?
I am growing a variety of sweet peppers and I've read that I should harvest some of the first peppers to appear before they ripen to increase overall plant yield. My question is whether or not those green peppers will continue to ripen once picked?
Pepper plants like many other vegetables (cukes, zucc, eggplant) will stop/slow down producing if the fruit is left on the vine to mature (ripen).
You should use the early peppers as green peppers, and when you get tired of them let the rest start to ripen. If you don't pick the early ones those will be all you get.
Yes, some of the small peppers will "turn" on the kitchen counter but it is only because they had already started to change while still on the vine - the so-called "blush" had begun. Many times they just rot first but you can speed them up a bit by putting them in a brown paper sack with an apple in it.
Ripening all depends on the point in time when the plant grows the membrane between the stem of the fruit and the fruit itself. That membrane seals the pepper off from the rest of the plant - the blush point. Bananas, pimentos, chilis, habs, etc. are sealed off early. But most all bells (aka mangoes), giant bananas, anchos, etc. don't do that until after the fruit has changed color. There are a few improved hybrid bells bred for early color change that are exceptions.
So lets say I don't pick the early peppers green, about how many red peppers might I end up with ultimately?
That all depends on your garden situation, weather, soil, fertilizer, watering, sun exposure, etc. so you can't just say you'll get 6 or 4 or 9. ;) But a good guess would be that you'd get about 1/2 the number of peppers that you would if you grew the same plant for greens. Again, the reason why they are so much more expensive in the store.
If you have more than one plant, why not experiment with them for comparison in production.

Reviews of Doro Nawas
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Doro Nawas review
Doro Nawas looked forbidding with its black stone, but was both luxurious (loved the bed with a view, and the outside shower as well as the inside one) and with probably the most cheerful staff of the whole trip.
We have cringed a bit in the past at the cultural dancing at a hotel in Victoria Falls: the little song and dance here after each meal, being by the people we already knew from serving us food or drinks, and singing some of their own songs with such evident enjoyment and humour, was different. Great fun, and I am a huge fan of African harmony.
The long morning drive not only found the elephants, it gave us at 45 minutes or more of relaxed and absorbing watching on the way out, then another shorter session on the way back, and that was excellent, not least because there were two calves of 4 weeks and 2 weeks.
And the landscape we travelled through on the rest of that trip was so varied, and our guide very informative on bushes, trees and birds.
Expensive place to stay, but well worth it. We enjoyed the rock carvings and the guided tour at Twyfelfontain which we drove ourselves to.
Doro Nawas review
Great location, great room.
The food choice and quality did not match but they tried.
Doro Nawas review
We loved this camp - the location, the rooms, the staff - it was all perfect. Florentia, Johann & Jefta were all very helpful and friendly.
Jefta gave us a memorable day with the desert-adapted elephants and Florentia never stopped smiling - my daughters fell in love with her! On New Years Eve Florentia and the other female camp workers gave us an impromptu concert of African music which was a lovely way to celebrate.
n my opinion this camp has the best rooms out of all the ones we stayed at.
Doro Nawas review
Trips to see desert adapted elephants was first class.
Very warm welcome.
Outside veranda now has canopy which provides welcome shade but perhaps spoils the appearance.
Doro Nawas review
Doro Nawas was actually rather difficult to find as it hasn't got around to issuing a map yet. It is also a rather strange looking place, rather like an experimental laboratory in the desert run by a mad scientist. As ever the welcome was very warm - cold drinks and cool towels. The food and rooms very excellent.
We managed to combine two different activities into a single drive- seeing elephants along the river bed and then continuing to see Bushman art in the nearby mountains. Very interesting....but apart from that there is not much else to do. In hindsight we would have been better off staying only 2 nights at Doro Nawas and having an extra night at Waterberg.
Doro Nawas review
Another place that blended well into its rocky surroundings. Everyone here was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were lovely. We pushed our bed out onto the deck to sleep under the stars, which was quite magical.
The food here wasn't great. Breakfast was ok, but dinner really wasn't. Pork chops were very leathery, and the lamb curry was made with scrag neck of lamb, which should be cooked long and slow until it falls off the bone. There was no way of separating that meat from the bones - it was far too tough. Maybe they are trying to cut costs by using cheaper, and in this case, inappropriate cuts of meat? We were late back from an activity so we wondered if the meal might have suffered from sitting around too long, but speaking to other guests, they also found the food left a lot to be desired. It was a bit surprising and a little disappointing considering the excellent food at Kulala Desert Lodge, also a Wilderness Safaris property. We did comment on the food on their feedback form.
Otherwise it was very good here and we coulld have spent longer. We were thrilled to see desert-adapted elephants on our activity.
Doro Nawas review
Rooms were beautiful with a great view of the desert. Dinner buffet was not up to par - the meat was tough and the fish was dry.
However, the staff was very helpful - we had a flat tire the morning of our departure and they were more than happy to help us replace it and to fix the original tire in case we needed another spare.
Doro Nawas review
Very impressive new Lodge well designed in every respect, giving great views but blending with the landscape. Food very ordinary with little choice. Very helpful polite and cheerful staff.
Guided trip to track the desert elephants very exciting. Trip to see rock paintings/carvings interesting but sketchily presented by local guide.
Overall a very pretty different type of scenery (Damaraland) and much appreciated after the desertland further south.
Doro Nawas
This was a quite stunning location. The views from the lodge were wonderful. The lodges themselves were huge and luxurious. You could see for miles all around. The staff were wonderful too. There was plenty of laughter and they seemed to be a happy team. It cannot be easy maintaining that level of enthusiasm continually.
The elephants were hard to find but that only made it a more enjoyable experience and it was good seeing them in the hills, a different habitat.
The swimming pool was a great place to unwind and take in the breathtaking views.

Alphabet: Letter L
I'm sure everyone is ready for another letter by now!! =)
Time to show us your 'L' plants, folks! We know you have 'em! Genus, species or common name...have at it!
Starting off with: (click for larger view)
lobivia (which type ?)
LIzard !named Nero :P
Echeveria Agavoides "lipstick plant"
another lobivia
Lobivia longispina
LIthops that i JUST got today
Dorstenia crispa lancifolia
Stapelia leendertizae (sadly without flower)
Hope you enjoyed ! (sorry for the ugly pics, they were on a phone)
Waaah. I want some Lewesia. I've killed 2, and I'm downsizing, but maybe in the future I will get some.
Some Ls here. Just went out and took the Lepismium pics. The 2nd and 3rd photos were taken last year when I didn't know how to re-size my pics. Sorry for their screen size.
Lobivia? I am terrible at IDs, even for my plants from seed. Tags are buried, plants are crowded.
Another Lobivia? Work with me here.
Lepismium cruciforme.
Leuchtenbergia. Somebody must have a nicer specimen to show.
Lepismium. Several species, aka Rhipsalis.
2 species Lepismium. Don't laugh. These plants have frozen in the winter and baked dry in the summer. you'd look a little haggard too.
Great specimens, everyone!
Here we go! Mostly Lithops.
Lithops julii ssp fulleri v rouxii
Lithops terricolor - Sandpoort
Lithops lesliei 'luteoviridis'
Lapidaria margaretae
Lampranthus watermeyeri
Schwantesia loeschiana
Jensenobotrya lossowiana
Anacampseros lubbersii
can't resist... more Lithops
Lithops and more lithops, but you can't be too thin, too rich nor have too many Lithops. One thing I know, Lithops only grow well for people who are in control of themselves.
Cactusmcharris, your IDs are spot on, and if I knew how, I would delete the orange flowering one. As it is, it will stand as a testimony to my lack of IDing and will prevent me from being confused with RoRo.
Lepismiums/Rhipsalis are real shape shifters. A young plant can start out round, flat or triangular before it assumes the shape it will get. The shape is also influenced by lighting and season. That is, if you take a flat stem and root it, the first growth you get could be triangular with soft spines, but the next segment could grow flat and spineless. The same stem grown in the fall with decreasing light might grow flat at first, then when it resumes growth for me in the spring, lots of the new stems can start out 3 sided then morph into a flat stem.
Round stems usually beget round stems, but they can be hairy with spines at first, or like one L. grandiflora did, the first segment was soft-spiney, but subsequent segments were naked. Vive la difference!
Sorry, some Palm Bob guy already beat you to that one. I tried posting the link to that four-letter word site and I got the following warning after previewing with a link to the alleged rapscallion.

Well, I'm sure you can find the picture - not your plant, though, at that other place?
OK, here are more 'ls', only done with Photobucket... this is the Aloaceae only from my garden...
Aloe laterita
Aloe lineata var muirii
Aloe laeta
Aloe Little Spikey (Kelly Griffin hybrid)

Haworthia limifolia umbolensis (pretty sure I didn't spell that right)
Haworthia longiana
Fabulous 'L' plants everyone! So great to see them all!
Geoff, that one you have as a Gasteria liliputana-maybe hybrid...I think is a hybrid between Faucaria boscheana x Stomatium. I have one too. (that other Haw. is ubomboensis)
LOVE them all! =)
Didn't get to comment before, so catching up now!
Zeck, Love your Nero lizard! Sorry, don't know your Lobivia. Let me know if your S. leendertziae ever blooms.
Ms. Amanda, lovely Echeveria 'Lucita'!
Jeff, Love the Lewesia, =) ...as well as the plethora of 'L's...laughs, lightning & all!
Dzitmoidonc, fascinating plants you have...like my jungle!! Beautiful bloomers! Rebutia, eh?? I wasn't gonna say nuttin'! LOL
Ryan, great Lithops, Lapidaria & other 'L's! Quite the collection!
Linda, your Agave lechuguilla reminds me of an A. difformis I have. Nice plant!
Geoff/PalmBob, I had not heard of Aloe labworana either. Nice to see it here & at Dave's site (even though we cant' link to it). It was fantastic to peruse ALL your 'L' plants, Geoff!
Hoovb, nice plants! Thanks to all who participated, sharing their beauties with us!!
