Seeking A Replacement (Suggestions Welcome)
Hi everyone,
I'm seeking a replacement plant for my now dead sweet olive. I would like something with flowers but a foilage plant would work too. Two flowering plants that interest me are desert rose and stephanotis. For foilage, it could be something as common as a philodendron or pothos. Most of the plants I have are hoyas (most haven't bloomed but hopefully this year some will). QI appreciate any and all suggestions!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
I like Stephanotis but for me blooming periods have been relatively brief. Most true jasmines too are seasonal bloomers though Sambac Jasmine blooms year round (though somewhat prone to mealy bugs indoors in the Winter). Consider CITRUS though! You get foliage AND fragrance. Varieties?--Calamondin, Meyer's Lemon, Kumquats... Even the blooms of a small Calamondin (an orange/kumquat hybrid) is very fragrant. For color, bloom season, drought and heat tolerance, consider Bougainvilleas (though no fragrance). The more you neglect Bougainvilleas (in terms of watering and fertilizer), the more it'll love you and flower its head off. You might also consider bromeliads and orchid cacti. Good luck!
Thanks! I already have a Jasminum sambac (Maid Of Orleans) and an orchid cactus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum). I also have a Thanksgiving cactus. My Maid Of Orleans is sulking now (has been for awhile) and I think it's due to where I have it located. I've seen Bougainvilleas before and they are beautiful! Citruses I may have to look into! I had a bromeliad before and it lasted for over a year.
I would like an orange flowered orchid cactus in my plant collection sometime down the road. My Epi. oxypetalum I only got as cuttings this year and it's grown a lot so I'm hoping for blooms this year.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Brad, you might have mentioned the direction your window faces in your first post. Can you refresh my memory?
NJ came up with some great choices...Desert Rose and Stephs are very nice too. 'Accents' has variegated Stephs. I plan on getting one when whether warms up, adding w/my green Steph. Toni
I tried growing Stephanotis several times in the last several years & was not able to keep them alive (indoors) more than several months. I don't think they really like the indoor life (w/out a greenhouse). They are related to Hoyas but seem much more difficult to grow. I blew $25 several Mother's Days ago trying it. Don't think I'll try again, nor do I think it's a good plant for newer growers, sorry.
How about a Wandering Jew (Tradescantia zebrina)?
They have nice purple and green foliage, are fairly quick growing, and propagate easily for gifts.
Karen, sorry to hear of your bad experience with Stephanotis. I did read it can be fussy indoors and I think I'll remove it from the list.
Josh, a Wandering Jew did cross my mind a few times. They do have gorgeous leaves and many say it's easy to grow.
So far, here are my options (some are my own):
Another Hoya
Desert Rose
Some type of citrus
Wandering Jew
Desert cactus/succulent
Tahitian bridal veil (does anyone here grow this?)
String Of Hearts (the cuttings I got of this last summer didn't root)
Brad AKA Moonwolf
I agree Stephanotis can be fussy. Got mine in 1999. It's grown, but never, once flowered.
Come spring, I'm going to alternate fertilizers.
I have a Tahitian Bridal Veil, it too is fussy. lol.Here's a pic taken last autumn. Had it for years, and keep cutting back..however, it flowers freely.
Wrote WJ in the name, but it's a TBV.
I vote for a variegated Hoya or variegated Desert Rose.
Desert Roses are fantastic plants. As long as they're not overwatered. A couple were shipped from Thailand, but I also bought at Buried Treasure and two at HD.
TBV are fussy in winter. Maybe you'll have better luck. If you can keep WJ, you shouldn't have any problems with TBV.
Do you prefer a hanging or standing plant?
Toni, I have room for both a standing plant (nothing huge though) and a hanging plant. What is WJ? I assume you mean winter jasmine? Are peperomias hard to grow?
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Have you considered a Crown of Thorns? My mom's seems to have flowers much of the time. There is quite a bit of info about them on this forum... or maybe I am thinking of the c/s forum, but you know.
Also striking - for foliage, not flowers - is the Chlorophytum amaniense "fire flash" or "mandarin" (the same thing, different names). My honey just bought one for me & it is stunning: rich green leaves with fluorescent safety orange (NOT exaggerating!) ribs/petioles/whatever they are.
Mr. Subjunctive is of the opinion they are one of the least fussy plants out there, so the return-on-investment (time/$$/emotions) looks to be pretty high. I'm very optimistic!
No Brad,
In this case WJ is referring to the plant Wandering Jew (tradescantia), which should be pretty easy, an almost indestructible plant.
I would counsel against Peperomias, they can be difficult to learn proper watering for w/out killing them (depending on which kind).
String of Hearts can be tricky too; this is a relative of Hoya known as Ceropegia woodii, takes a bit to learn its watering.
Perhaps try some simpler things from your list like Pothos, Philodendron or WJ. They're all reasonable in their needs & pretty easy for most folks. But for Pothos you will need to be sure not to overwater since that is the one sure way to kill them.
Sorry to say but I wouldn't hold much hope for bloom soon on your Epiphyllum, they take a few years to mature to bloom as do most Hoyas.
Maybe a Spider plant (Chlorophytum) would be good for you, they're lovely in bloom & if one doesn't overwater, they can be easy to grow.
Brad, most Peperomias are difficult. The easiest Pep is P. obtulsifolia..green or variegata.
Here's a pic of mine.
Although Peps come in beautiful colors and shapes, including the famous, Watermelon, 'really resembles watermelon,' Peps hold water so soil needs to dry between waterings, yet, needs humidity. P. obtusifolia is the easiest of all Peps.
A beautiful hanging plant, 'Accents' is Purple Heart variegatum. Another pic. lol
Gravy came up with a great suggestion, E. Crown of Thorns. COT's come in a variety of leaf and flower colors. My favorite is variegated Thai's.
Thai's flowers are large, Millii's smaller. COT's bloom year round.
Variegated leaves are green, white and pink. Flowers are solid, speckled or bi.
Here's a young variegated COT's called Candycane
The second COT is Thai, purchased at AE
C. Fireflash, another plant Gravy suggested.
Brad, there's so many plants to choose from in the world. It's fun starting fresh. Toni
I had a white Crown Of Thorns I bought at Lowe's and it died too. I threw it out last week. That Purple Heart plant is very pretty! The Chlorophytum is nice too! Karen, thanks for the clarification on the Wandering Jew. A spider plant would be nice too. I already have a snake plant and it's truely a beginner's plant. I saw a picture of a crossandra (firecracker plant) in one of my houseplant books. It says it's easy to grow. Verification anyone? lol
So far, my top picks out of the list are:
Spider plant
Philodendron (Heart Leaf)
Desert Rose
Some type of cactus or succulent
I won't be getting a plant for awhile anyways. I just wanted to get some ideas so I know what to look for. Still feel free to add you suggestions!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Brad, Crossandra is a beautiful plant w/orange flowers. IMO, it's difficult. The blooms are gorgeous, if it blooms indoors..lol..I had a couple, both died. However, the last was purchased more than 15 yrs ago, haven't seen one for sale since. Did you find an online nursery that sells Crosandras?
Easy to grow? In HI..lol..
How bright is your SE window in summer? Spider, Pothos and Philos would do fine during winter, but if your south gets harsh summer sun, keep an eye out. You don't want a scorched plant.
Snakes, 'Sans' will grow in any light including shade, but medium light is best.
How did your COT die, Brad?..It's possibly not your fault. HD occassionaly sells COT's. IT never fails. COT's is a succulent, not meant to sit in water. HD;s COT's pots are wrapped in aluminum foil. God only knows the number of people who water..Water sits on the bottom, and roots rot. The last time I was browsing, I almost passed out..the smell was horrible..stagnant water. I complained to the manager..what a farce!
I hope you find something nice..Toni
Here is a fun & useful link - happy dreaming!

+1 for the Satellite Reign mention.
It looks very very promising. Really hoping they hit their target as I can't wait to play it!!
Is it not also libellous? Did the judge actually call out Steve Jobs personally as being a criminal?
According to the headline of this article the person responsible is no longer alive and therefore free from prosecution.
Unless, that is, El Reg is putting words into the mouth of the judge.
But were there any details as to what those improvements are? It's all very well saying that, but is there anything to back it up? This time last year, I'm sure those "improvements" would have had at the top of the list BB10, the Z10, the Q10 and the Q5. So now those are crossed off the list and haven't helped, what's next?
Parts of the BB10 experience are very good, particularly messaging. Others require some urgent attention. One of these, strangely, is messaging.
So the best of BB10 is also a part that requires urgent attention? That doesn't sound very promising. What on earth is the worst of it like?
But who do you dislike? The shop selling the item, or the manufacturer (app developer in this case) who set the initial pricing?
Who must really really hate a lot of people if you walk around a Poundland or similar type shop.
You can only justifiably be upset that the app is now free if you've completely failed to use it at all since you bought it.
You're anger at it being free now is really just misplaced anger at yourself for buying the app too early at a price that you're clearly uncomfortable with.
IF it was worth a tenner to you at the time that you bought it, then you paid the price you were happy with at the time. IF you feel it should be free, you shouldn't have bought it at that time. You've only yourself to blame, not Apple.
+1 for the Sir Humphrey icon request!!
As most of the rest of the comments hear suggest, 3D itself is inconsequential and won't be missed either. The BBC are just ahead of the curve here.
this makes me very happy to hear. and a little less sad at his passing.
As others have said, i think it's something that Mr Banks would have gotten a buzz from too.
But the last paragraph suggests they're able to get the dodgy code into apps that are in the Play Store. so it's not a case of replacing genuine ones from the Store, you just need your dodgy app to be in the Store and then the average punter will assume it's safe because it comes from the Store, no?
Yes, i guess it still asks for permissions, but if you'd disguised your malware as a utility app that would require those kind of permissions, how's the end user supposed to know not to allow it?
I dunno about game changing. I always preferred the wide area splash damage of the red rocket launcher in Q3A to the railgun. Always too difficult to hit the target when moving at speed - plus, you can't rocket jump with the rail gun, you just end up gib'ng yourself if you accidentally shoot your own foot...
Last I checked, the AppleTV was black? Have Bloomberg's sources let slip a detail of a new AppleTV release??
i actually wear an iPod nano on a wrist strap and use it as a watch, and to listen to podcasts while commuting to work.
so yeah, there is a market
ideally, it'd act as a control interface to your phone. the phone in your pocket has all the processing power and the storage space, the watch on your wrist provides you with the visual clues that you have messages/mail/alarms/events/etc and also provides controls to skip tracks, play, pause, etc. And the earphones on your hear are bluetooth so there are no cables anywhere.
'cept you just need to charge the whole lot up every 2 hours....
Why don't they just close the loopholes? It's all very well naming and shaming, but if the loopholes are there, corporations and wealthy individuals are going to keep on using them.
Or would that just involve a lot of work and time and money in order to close the loopholes and save more money?
OR is it that the politicians all use these loopholes themselves and are still smarting over the battering they got over tax evasion, multiple homes and expenses claims fraud that they'd rather just decry the evilness of big corporations and hope we forget about their past wrongs?
Reader? I didn't even know it existed until all you journalists started complaining that it was going away...
Absolutely. Proof that flashy graphics do not make a game.
I was addicted to this when i was at school. Playing on a MacPlus, so just back and white graphics. Was still an utterly immersive game. The shock the first time you [spoilers] jump through the mirror and your reflection runs away [/spoilers] i still remember.
And then later, when you finally have to battle your evil reflection and the frustration of trying to kill him over and over until at some point the light goes on over your head and the realise what's necessary... classic gameplay!
In some ways though, I hope they don't try and revive this. The latest Tomb Raider game was very enjoyable, as a story, and was lots of fun to play, but it lacked the depth of puzzles that the original TR and TR2 had. I fear a modern Prince of Persia would be the same, very flashy to look at, even perhaps a great mystical story to follow, but it wouldn't give you the same sense of achievement that the original PoP gave you when you finally found the way to complete a level.
this is, readers of this website are more than likely to be fully aware of the importance of setting your own, strong password.
so why are we reading this story?
the types of people who need to hear this are the non-techie types. i'm not really sure they're likely to ever need to set up a personal hotspot. they'll just wait until they get home.
Ashamed to say that i've never been, yet it's literally only 20 minutes up the road from me.
Hopefully this article is the inspiration i need to get me there this summer.
I knew someone who had one.
and then he got married and so had to sell it.
BUT at least their screwing them slightly less than Pandora.
Also, it's not like this model (at least in the US) is paying artist less than before.
"Even more importantly, FM/AM paid him NOTHING for the performance of the song. Unlike most industrialized nations, terrestrial radio stations in the US have never paid performers anything."
So without Pandora/iRadio, US radio stations can play your song as much as they like, and you-get-nothing-good-day-sir
At least this way you're getting some revenue back from people listening to your music.
Did i miss the bit in the article where it answered the question in the sub-heading?
What _does_ it is mean if all our internet payments avoid Visa and Mastercard? Does the price of the items we purchase go down because the merchants aren't incurring the visa/mc charge? Or does the cost go up for all the real-world purchases that do go on the plastic because they have to increase their charges to cover the lost income?
Or does El Reg not have a clue and put that question in the sub-heading on false pretences?
we got Yammer here long before the MS purchase and were equally encouraged with become sociable with the rest of the colleagues in the office, by staying at our desks and typing to them instead of having a chat at the coffee point.
it didn't even last a year here, at the end there were only two people left posting on it, who seemed to have forgotten it was publicly viewable by the rest of the office. was quite fun to read their conversations...
does this come bundled in as part of the Blackberry license that we already pay for BES? or is it a bolt-on feature? because, we already pay for a Good license so that we can read our emails securely on Android and iOS. so if the cost is included, then we could make a saving by rolling this out
everyone I know in Herts and Bucks (I grew up there, so lots of family and friends) already have internet access via cable or satellite and are likely on higher than 2mb deals. Seems like an awful lot of money for just the handful of houses that aren't already online?
only if you haven't de-scaled your kettle recently
I've always been a PG Tips drinker, of course these days it's the pyramid bags. but that's likely as much through habbit as anything else, but folks always bought PG Tips so its the brand i buy too.
not sure if i've tried Yorkshire Gold though, i shall give is a go.
the missus had a funny turn and decided she wanted lots of fruit teas, so we spent a small fortune ordering a bunch of weird flavours from Twinings for her. i snuck a selection box of their more normal teas (Earl Grey, Prince of Wales, Breakfast, etc etc) and while they were nice, for a change, the most refreshing and revitalising cuppa in the morning or the end of the day was from a humble PG Tips.
Plus, when i were a lad, they had the adverts with the chimps. and now, they have adverts with Johnny Vegas and a monkey. you gotta give them points for consistency over the years :)
Is anyone (other than Apple and Samsung) keeping score? Can we get a scoreboard in a table on the El Reg front page?
Owhay aboutway igpay atinlay?
+1 thanks. I was just going to try and type up an explanation like that, but you beat me to it :)
either carry cash (although, presumably at some point you need to use a card to get it from an ATM, or travel to your nearest branch, during business hours on weekdays)
or multiple cards with a range of different banks. it's unlikely they're ALL going to go offline at once, provided no Acts of Tyler Durden.
Where i work, if someone turns up in the morning wearing a suit and tie they're always greeted with a cheery "interview or court case?" welcome. And then if they take a longer-than-usual lunch hour, you suspect it was the interview option.
But now, whenever someone books 5 days leave, you won't know if they're taking a much needed break in the Lake District or applying for a new job!
but El Reg knows full well that a headline that doesn't mention Apple or one of their products won't get many clickthroughs.
So they've reorganised, restructured, and with this they'll presumably pay off a lot of debt.
But have they announced what their new products are going to be?
Nothing's changed, because people still aren't buying old fashioned film, or getting holiday snaps printed developed. They're far from being a presence in the digital market.
I don't see why people will want to buy the stock when they offer it.
Yes, they'll no longer be bankrupt. But how are they going to make enough money in order to stay that way?
It's not gone yet!! There's still a bunch of great games due for the 2nd half of the year. Enough that i think i'm going to hold off on getting a PS4 for a while.
then you'll be pleased that, at least in the current beta, you can hide both of those in a folder, which you could stick on the last page of apps i guess.
hopefully that's a feature that remains through to the released version in a few months
Can you cook it at all? it looks like batter, so can you make pancakes out of it?
Then you could spice the flavour up with some fried bacon, and sausages, and tomato, scrambled egg, muschrooms, beans, a couple of slices of fried bread, ketchup and HP sauce. Could be a really tasty breakfast. although might be better to leave out the weird-pancake and just have the other stuff :)
precisely zero users to confuse at the time
you're forgetting that there were a few of use that were using the previous Mac OS, and the preview of Aqua was as exciting and worrying as the new look to iOS 7 is now.
Absolutely astounding and amazing alliteration application always appreciated anytime.
there's an art and a skill to alliteration which i evidently do not have, but i thourghly enjoy it when El Reg exercises it's literary muscles and applied it to the headlines.
5.7 inches isn't very far away from the iPad Mini size. a 6 inch phone is practically like holding a tablet to the side of your head.
i'll be very surprised if this actually comes to market as a phone.
it could easily be the screen they are testing a remote control for the AppleTV or something.
Exploring doesn't mean they're going into large scale production, just means someone at Apple has presumably ordered a few of these for R&D
it's you confusing "not found guilty in court" with "didn't do it". Those two things are very different.
but equally, "not found guilty in court" is not the same as "did do it"
sometimes the cost of the settlement is much less than the cost of losing at court. and going to court is just a gamble that your lawyers are better than the opposition. the truth doesn't really have any bearing in a court case.
the publishers evidently don't have that confidence in their legal teams.
Apple does.
I see no way they could fit ordinary PCI-e cards in there
and that's not their intention either. He said in the presentation that "all expansion is external"
at least these days external expansion is viable. back in the days of the Cube all you could really do was put an external drive on it.
El Reg doesn't have a classified ads section, so such secrecy and skulduggery needs to be conducted on the front page headlines.
If you pick up an iphone, you have to click apps to see missed calls, calendar appointments, news,,
evidently you haven't picked up an iPhone in some time. because, for the last couple of iOS's before this new one, you can "just pick it up and glance at the screen" and see all those things.
you've hit the nail on the head there.
all of a sudden, skeumorphism was the great Evil and everyone hated.
so Apple have gone ahead and largely removed it from their interface. and what does everyone do now? they bemoan how bland and flat everything looks.
c'mon world+dog, make up your frikken minds!!!
Shall be thoroughly missed. Reading his books felt like a formative part of my teenage years, and ever since. I'd always assumed he'd always have a new book every year or two. I always say Use Of Weapons is my favourite book (he said at a book signing that he wrote it as a coherent story, but when he showed the first draft to a friend they suggested he fold the story in two), but when i think about it, it's hard to really pick one above the other.
Canal Dreams is the one i really didn't get into. I asked him what went wrong with it at another book signing and he agreed it wasn't his best. He said of all the other books, there's at least an element of himself in them. But when he wrote it, he'd not been to that part of the world, didn't play the chello and wasn't a woman, so that might explain it.
I guess just thankful we've had such great books to enjoy all these years, and can enjoy them all again in the future. And sad there won't be any more like them :(
If they ever do go that path, it'll be a long while. They wouldn't have had time in just a year
doing things because they're cool rather than because they make sense used to be what mucking about on computers was all about, wasn't it?
So BBM doesn't use the same network that the rest of BB uses? Cos i remember at least three major outages of the BB service at work in the last year, at least two of which were also reported here on El Reg.

Comments about Sunshine Systems GrowSpot 15 Watt LED Grow Light:
I used these to create an herb and veggie garden in my kitchen. I love that plants grow like crazy under under them, but they fit into a regular pendant light fixture. So I was able to create a grow space that looks beautiful and fits into my regular decor.
I have several of the general spectrum and green growth booster bulbs -- although they may seem expensive, they last forever and use almost no energy. By themselves, I have found them sufficient to grow herbs, kale, collard greens, spinach, and similar leafy edibles. Also beets and turnips.
I also have the bloom bulb -- it is great in my regular grow tent where I use stronger lights to crow citrus, tomatoes, and peppers in the winter. By themselves, the LEDs don't seem to do it for these plants. But the bloom bulb supplements a more traditional light set-up wonderfully and lets me direct just those plants that are ready to bloom and fruit. To save energy in months when I don't need the tent to be warmer inside than outside, I will run the mixed spectrum and green growth LEDs for a few hours a day, then turning on the metal halide bulb for less hours.
The only downside is delivery. Why the vendor sends these requiring a signature I have no idea. It is incredibly inconvenient because I ride my bike to work (meaning I don't ship stuff there) and am never home to sign for boxes. Please stop requiring a signature! If these are ever cheaper elsewhere, or even comparably priced, I'll order them there just to spare myself the song and dance necessary to deliver these to a friend who can sign during the day or redirect these to a FedEx store every single time I order.

'CURIOUS THINGS HAPPEN sometimes, when you're 30,000 feet [9,144 metres] up,' says Doug Scott - the first Briton to scale Everest and widely regarded as one of the most extraordinary climbers alive today.
'I was on Mont Blanc, asleep on a ledge that I'd cut out of the ice,' he says. 'I was dreaming that someone was telling me I wasn't paying enough attention to detail. I woke up and saw that I'd forgotten to connect my safety rope to the harness. Had I rolled over in the night, I would have plunged 3,000 feet [914 metres].'
'Curious' is an understatement, but this is typical of the way Scott, 64, brushes aside things that would panic ordinary people. Blessed with what the Everest Speakers Bureau calls 'a wit so dry it could mop up beer tables', Scott has completed 45 mountain expeditions, reaching the summit 40 times - half of which were first ascents. Each time the British climber pioneered a previously untested route.
He has more than his fair share of stories, thanks to a celebrated career in which he has conquered many peaks, including the highest summits on all seven continents: Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, Alaska's Mount McKinley, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mount Elbrus in the Russian Caucasus, Vinson Massif in Antarctica, Indonesia's Carstensz Pyramid and Mount Everest.
And, as the body gasps for oxygen and battles days without sleep, he's had plenty of strange moments. Take the so-called Inner Voice, for example ('a voice in your chest telling you what you must do next', says Scott), or the mysterious Third Man Syndrome ('someone whom you look to for comfort, confidence and sage advice, despite the fact that they aren't actually there.')
In the 1970s, his ragged beard, long hair, round glasses and fierce northern wit had many regarding him as the 'John Lennon of mountaineering'. In town for this week's lecture as part of Hong Kong's Royal Geographic Society's 10th anniversary celebrations, Scott - now with a shock of white hair - looks more an eccentric scientist, albeit a rugged version, whose spade-like hands could seemingly uproot trees. A fortune-teller once told his mother that she would have three sons, and the eldest would one day find himself in great danger, in a small shelter in a high place while the world watched his progress. This, of course, came to pass during his celebrated 1975 ascent of the southwest side of Everest with Dougal Haston.
Scott had by that time gained a reputation as one of the most free-thinking climbers of his generation. Having reached the summit too late in the day to make a safe descent, the pair were forced to camp out by making a bivouac. In doing so they became the first - and to this day, the only - men to survive a night at 28,700 feet (8,748 metres) without oxygen.
'We tunnelled into a slope 300 feet [91 metres] from the summit and stayed there for the night,' he says, casually, as if it were a case of parking at a roadside motel. 'We had no fuel to keep us warm, and up there's only 25 per cent of the oxygen you get down here, making it very hard to make the right judgment. It's a bit like having 12 pints on a Saturday night - you're pretty much out of it.'
Both climbers descended into a deep, hypoxia-driven state of hallucination.
'Strange things were beginning to happen,' Scott says. 'I was having a conversation with my feet. I was asking my right one, 'What are we going to do with the left one? It's not going to warm up.'
'The left one replied, 'Well you always kick rugby balls with the right foot, so use it.' So I rubbed the left one furiously with my right one to get some life back into it. That's how focused you are when you're up there.'
Dawn finally broke after what must have seemed an eternity up in the freezing, howling winds. The two climbers were not only alive, but had avoided frostbite. Scott's life would never be the same, as he emerged to a previously unknown scale of fame. 'It occurred to me that if I could sleep out there, then I could sleep anywhere,' Scott says after hobbling into a hotel lobby a few hours before he is due to deliver his lecture.
'From having gone to my limits for so long, the internal dialogue you have with yourself daily slows down. There's suddenly space between thoughts. You come back refreshed, with more enthusiasm. If you're too ambitious, too blinkered, you'll stumble and fall. If you let go of your ambition, then it comes to you like a gift.'
Complaining of a recent bout of arthritis, he pulls up his trouser legs to reveal surgical scars on his knee caps (both of which have been replaced by metal ones) and the places where four bolts hold each of his ankles together.
He broke both legs climbing The Ogre in Pakistan's Karakoram Mountain range in 1976, and made a gruelling eight-day descent on his knees. Scott brushes off such rigours in his characteristically matter-of-fact fashion, - including how his rescue helicopter crash-landed only metres from the landing site, with him on board.
Scott puts his success down to intuition as much as physical and mental stamina. 'Intuition is the distillation of experience,' he says. 'It implies that you're more likely to get this sort of thing happening if you've had a step-by-step approach to being there, if you've wrestled mentally with the situation you find yourself in.'
Yet his daredevil instincts haven't enabled him to reconcile himself to the exploits of his own children: three from his first marriage are all climbers, while the two boys he's bringing up with his second wife, Sharu - between homes near Britain's Lake District and in Nepal - are only just entering their teenage years.
'Rose is 26 and is into eventing [the triathlon of equestrian sport that combines dressage, cross-country and show-jumping],' he says, wincing and shaking his head. 'It's terrible - much more dangerous than climbing mountains. She had her pelvis flattened by having a horse fall on top of her once, she nearly died.'
These days Scott is heavily involved with his charity, Community Action Nepal which since its inception in 1998 has saved the lives of thousands of village children by cleaning up water supplies, as well as raising funds and building schools and health posts.
'We'd just climbed K2 in 1990 and were waiting in a village, and we found that there was more than a 50 per cent child mortality rate there,' Scott says. 'They were dying of enteritis because their water came through fields fertilised with excrement. We quickly raised #10,000 [$137,800] and built standpipes. Straight away, far more children were reaching the age of five and it made me realise how easy it was to actually make a difference.'
The charity also focuses on income-generating projects that enable young people to stay in their villages rather than seek work elsewhere, thus strengthening the community.
Yet the Everest that Scott scaled 30 years ago has also changed, much to his displeasure. The majority of climbers are now businessmen who are virtually towed up.
'You know - the types who are at the top of whatever their business is and who think, 'What next? I think I'll climb Everest.' And most of them get away with it. There's literally a groove in the snow that has been ground out by Sherpas and there's a handrail fixed.
'The public would think of a climber as someone who is taking responsibility for his or her life. But with these new ascents by non-climbers, they're not doing that - they don't have to make a single decision. As long as their equipment works and they're fit enough, they'll do it.'
It's a theme that Scott warms to both during the interview and his lecture, which sparkles with references to his exploits as well as his opinions on everything from the effects of landmines to the plight of Tibetans.
He fears that the world is sliding towards a collective nanny state - the pedestrianisation of mountaineering being a pet hate for one who broke so many boundaries.
'Unless we take risks in life, we can't expect to give ourselves any new possibilities,' Scott says, referring to a global culture where decisions are made with an eye on potential lawsuits. Scout organisations in the US are no longer taking their young charges climbing as a result.
'We are gradually immobilising ourselves - we're caving in to lawyers and we have to make a stand. Clearly, we're rapidly losing all initiative in the face of it. [The ancient Roman statesman] Cicero said that what has always fascinated man the most, is the unknown. Going around the next corner and wondering what's going to happen next and just dealing with it - it's unfortunately something that we are increasingly teaching ourselves not to do.'

The Derbyshire Fairy (2007) Images of an 8-inch mummified creature resembling a fairy were posted on the website of the Lebanon Circle Magik Co. Accompanying text explained how the creature had been found by a man walking his dog along an old roman road in rural Derbyshire. Word of this discovery soon spread around the internet. Bloggers excitedly speculated about whether the find was evidence of the actual existence of fairies. The Lebanon Circle website received tens of thousands of visitors and hundreds of emails. But at the end of the day, Dan Baines, the owner of the site, confessed that the fairy was a hoax. He had used his skills as a magician's prop-maker to create the creature. Baines later reported that, despite his confession, he continued to receive numerous emails from people who refused to accept the fairy wasn't real. He later sold the fairy to an American collector for £280.
BMW Instant Messaging (2007) BMW unveiled new technology that allowed drivers to communicate messages via their windscreens:
The system uses Reactive User Sound Electronic (RUSE) particles which are embedded in the windscreen. All the driver has to do is say what's on their mind and the RUSE particles react to their voice to translate their words into an instant message. It enables BMW drivers to communicate advice, warnings, helpful driving tips and salutations to other road users without even lifting a finger.
LivePoke (2007) The social networking site Facebook posted a notice about a new feature called LivePoke allowing users to "dispatch a real live person to poke a friend of your choice." The offer was said to be good for only the first 100 pokers in each network. The joke was a reference to Facebook's "poke" feature, which causes a poke icon to appear on another user's home page.
Mayfair Mall To Use Face Recognition Technology (2007) Wisconsin-based blogger Peter Hart posted a news article on the community news site WauwatosaNOW.com, claiming that the local Mayfair Mall planned to start using face recognition technology to scan for known criminals. The story fooled a reporter for WTMJ-TV who reported it as fact on the 4 pm news show.
The Sheep Albedo Hypothesis (2007) RealClimate.org detailed the work of Dr. Ewe Noh-Watt of the New Zealand Institute of Veterinary Climatology, who had discovered that global warming was caused not by a buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but rather by the decline of New Zealand's sheep population. The reasoning was that sheep are white, and therefore large numbers of sheep increased the planet's albedo (the amount of sunlight reflected back into space). As the sheep population declined, the ground absorbed more solar radiation, thus warming the planet: "It can be seen that the recent warming can be explained entirely by the decline in the New Zealand sheep population, without any need to bring in any mysterious so-called 'radiative forcing' from carbon dioxide, which doesn't affect the sunlight (hardly) anyway — unlike Sheep Albedo."
Ring-Tone Rage (2007) National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Sunday reported that New York City Democratic councilman David Yassky had called for a ban on obnoxious ring tones. The councilman claimed that objectionable ring tones were costing the economy upwards of $1.2 billion and were the cause of numerous fights induced by "ring-tone rage." As of April 1, 2008, NPR reported, cell phone users would be restricted to four city-approved ring tones.
Tattoo Your Toddler (2007) DJs from North Dakota's Y94 radio station created a website called tattooyourtoddler.com that claimed to represent "the first tattoo studio for kids, with the trendiest body-art designed specifically for youths ages 2 through 17!" Parents who wanted to tattoo their child were promised that "Our patented needle-free system only causes slight discomfort and ensures a vibrant tattoo, guaranteed not to fade for at least 10 years!" The FAQ section of the site included the question: "Is this legal?" To which the reply was: "This is still America, isn't it?" A similar April Fool's Day hoax had been perpetrated in 2003 by DJs at at Channel 933 KHTS-FM radio in San Diego who created a site called BabyInk.com, which claimed to be a tattoo parlor catering to infants and children.
Pick Your Own Cow (2007) Motive magazine ran an article about a new program from Lamborghini allowing owners to pick specific cows with which to outfit their cars' leather interior.
Sweden to Phase out Å, Ä and Ö (2007) Sweden's English-language paper, The Local, reported that in the interests of globalization and technological competitiveness Sweden's government was considering banning "complex letters" such as Å, Ä and Ö. Å would be replaced by AA, Ä by AE and Ö by OE. The Centre Party's Åsa Bäckström was quoted as saying, "Language is constantly changing and we must be prepared to meet the linguistic challenges of the modern world. Communication barriers are a hindrance to competitiveness, so we should do whatever we can - within reason - to eliminate them." However, the move was resisted by many, including the town council of Båstad, whose spokesman said, "We already have enough trouble with English-speakers who think the name of our town is amusing. If the Å becomes a regular A it will just make things worse. We might as well go the whole hog and include an R."
Toilet Internet Service Provider (2007) Google announced a new technology called TiSP (Toilet Internet Service Provider) that would allow it to provide free in-home wireless broadband service. Users would connect to the internet via their bathroom's plumbing system. Installation involved dropping a weighted fiber-optic cable down the toilet and then activating the "patented GFlush™ system" which would send the cable "surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes." Google promised that it would provide a higher-performance version of the service for businesses which would include "24-hour, on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes."
Square Dartboard (2007) The News of the World revealed that the sport of darts was about to be revolutionized by the introduction of a square dartboard at that year's Blue Square UK Open. The board was designed by Prof. Ali Dosaly, who commented, "Darts needed a new look."
Moon Flights (2007) Irish discount airline Ryanair revealed that it would soon be offering flights to the moon.
Sniff-Screen Technology (2007) The BBC reprised its 1965 "smellovision" April Fool hoax by inviting visitors to its website to test new "sniff-screen technology" by clicking on various colored squares, pressing their noses and thumbs against their screen, and inhaling to identify the smell.
The Loch Ness Crocodile (2007) A news article, supposedly from a Scottish paper, circulated online, claiming that a crocodile had been sighted in Loch Ness:
"Several reports of a large unidentified creature seen wading along the Loch edge below the Lip'O'Flora viewpoint (the place where Flora MacDonald helped Rob Roy MacGregor escape the English redcoats) near the present day Clansman hotel have proven to be true. Much as some locals might wish it to be The Loch Ness Monster, it is believed to be a large Floridian crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). It is thought the reptile may be native to southern Florida and has simply drifted along the path of the Atlantic Gulf Stream before finding its new home in Scotland, or be yet another legacy from the British Pet Animals Act of 1951, which saw the release into the wild of many exotic animals by owners who did not have the facilities to be licensed as responsible 'pet' keepers or traders."

OKAY, here we go again.
Total deaths worldwide caused by WWI and WWII--35 million
Total deaths worldwide since WWI because of
"national gun control" laws-------------------------71 million(OOPSIES!)
Seems as though, on a worldwide basis, you're twice as
likely to be killed by gun control than a world war...
How's it going over there, Sarah?
I could do this all day...
I love gun buy back programs. They had one in KC recently. A guy I know turned in his old 1911, and used the cash to buy a brand new one.
------------Space Not for Hire.-----------
The NYT is preaching to their own choir. Everyone knows NYC is one of the most dangerous places in the whole country. Kitty Genovese again comes to mind, for me.
What the NYT laments as bad news (the growing tendancy of states to allow their residents to CCW), I (and the rest of us here) rejoice as good news.
My own anecdotal view is that the slight increase in crimes caused by allowing CCW is more than offset many times by the reduction in attempted crime by citizens defending themselves with their own CCWs.
To study this issue formally would take a grant and a college professor and all of his PhD candidates though. Meanwhile both sides are just blowing smoke.
Motorcyclists keep ball bearings in their pockets to keep the jackwad minivan driving cellphone talking idiots from running over them.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.

1188 Tasting Notes
Oooh, my innards. I have a seriously upset stomach, and out of the blue! Nothing will stop gurgling.
So I've warmed up a hot pack, to help with heat, and brewed up this tea, as its quick, and it has both mint and ginger in it. Its tasty, I like it a good deal. Let hope it helps!
I could not help it. My second pot of this rainy morning had to be Boston.
Its serving as my pot of "writer juice" this morning. I like to write with a cup of tea on hand. I find it helps me think.
I love almond. Last time I asked about almond perfume, and I am buisily hunting down the suggestions. I just bought myself a bar of almond scented soap, as well, which is lovely.
Sip, sip, type, type.
I woke up this morning to discover that it was raining. And cold! Perfection, that is some of my favorite weather.
I've been hording this little sample from Nina's for just such a day, occationally picking it up and smelling it. It smells deliciously of smoke.
Wood smoke in a cup. Its amazingly true to the sent. I can see how some people might taste bacon in it. Or how they might find it too smoky.
I do not find it too smokey. It is strong, but I really like it. I have almost zero experience with Lapsang Souchong, but I will probably explore more of this. Is good!
A perfect cup for a cold rainy day.
Mint. I do get the mint out of this, but the rest of the title is not making an apperance in my cup. Where is the chocolate note, eh? Bah.
All said, its not dreadful or anything, I'm just not impressed. Not a lot of this, as I have a tiny amount. Still, it will be good to have it all sipped down and to move on to other non caf desert teas.
Ah, Paris.
I feel cheated out of my weekend, and wish very much that I could go right back to bed and sleep for a while. Ah well.
Work, writing, and all that good stuff today. Paris tea for me.
I'd never had this loose leaf before, and I am amazed. I loved it in the sachet, but there is that undeniable depth of the loose leaf. Yum!
Admittedly not all the time, and Paris is as close in the sachet to the loose as I've ever seen. Maybe its the amount of leaf? In any case, its tasty!
Wonderful to know! and yes, I think controlling for leaf amount will always make you at least feel as though there's a difference.
I have to go to a work training today. I indended to wake up earlir so I could do some writing and some excercise, but I didnt managed to do that. I slept. Thats actually lovely, but it means that I've got a lot of work to do after the training.
So this cup for me today. Its turning out that I am running low on this too. Oh no! Gah, I'm running through so much tea.
My trip last week into the city included a stop at Davids Tea. It was the stores birthday, and if I spent $20 I got to pick out a sample pack of teas in celebration. Well, needless to say I easily spent the requisit dough, so I could pick one. I picked the "Happy" pack, as it had teas that I hadnt tried, and that sounded interesting.
This is one from that box. Boy, this smells like that cheap bakery sheet cake, with the icing an inch thick. This is not a criticism, as I love some of that stuff. Its like a funfetti tea.
The taste isnt as intensly sugar and vanilla as it smells, but its pretty nice, actually.
The sample of this was very generous, so I have some cups of this in my future. Dont mind a bit. Maybe a restock in the future, too.

I Love Benghal, most of the cologne that I wear is a Lancôme, but Benghal has a special smell of it's on. I have had a number of people (especially men) stop me asking me what I have on... That's a nice feeling! Every women should try this fragrance at least once. Thanks Lancôme, the only problem is that you can't find it in stores anymore, just online here.
Written by A woman that knows what she likes,- BENGHAL - on November 18, 2011Read Review details ►
I love this scent! I was overseas when I first experienced Benghal. I didn't purchase it at that time. I figured I would just get it in the states. I found out that Benghal wasn't released here. I have waited 3 years to get it and I love it!
Written by Cheron on April 09, 2010Read Review details ►
I love Benghal...it never offends anyone, anywhere when I wear it. It is fresh and feminine..love the jasmine undertones. I do not know why they stopped supplying this in the Department stores as it is lovely. I h0pe it neve stops being available online. The first time I found it was in Europe and those ladies know what is good and not acidic. Enjoy.
Written by Barbara..SC on March 24, 2010Read Review details ►
Benghal was a limited edition fragrance that I fell in love with. It does not overpower the wear but leaves a lingering scent. It comes across as both clean and crisp with a slight floral-spicy undertone.
Written by Dana, Florida on March 08, 2010Read Review details ►
Benghal is a fresh, floral scent that is sophisticated and appealing. I use it when we vacation at our home in Florida exclusively - it makes it special when we go down there. My daughter, who is not easy to please with perfume, really likes it and uses mine when she visits.
Written by Linda H. on February 02, 2010Read Review details ►

I find Lancome's "Benghal" to be a lovely, delicately exotic, fragrance. It is quite subtle - I barely notice it when it's on, but others do, and comment on it. I hope it is available for a long time!

As this complete collection of her short stories demonstrates, Parker's talents extended far beyond brash one-liners and clever rhymes. Her stories not only bring to life the urban milieu that was her bailiwick but lay bare the uncertainties and disappointments of ordinary people living ordinary lives.

Christmas 2008
I hope everyone has a nice holiday season. Remember the good times with our loved ones who have passed to the other side. Treasure the memories of past years and enjoy the people still here on earth. Remember, these are the memories of tomorrow. None of us are getting out of this alive! Treat everyone as if this is your last day on earth. It could be. Nothing is guaranteed. My mom is in my heart and I thank her for turning me into the person I am today. I'm not perfect, but I try to be a good person and when I leave this world I hope to if not make it better, at least do no harm!
For some reason I feel my mom is with me right now in such a strong way it is so reassuring. I love my mama and always will.
Hang in there dukerdawg. You will get thru this. You can't hurry up the mourning process. You are headed in the right direction. You are right, one day we, too, will be a memory to our Loved Ones.
My family has dwindled down to hardy no one. I remember when it was so large. I don't know how my parents did it with so many relatives coming and going on the Holidays. I never thought those days would end.
Now that I have my own family, I realize how my parents sacrificed so much time, energy and money to make the Holidays so nice. It is expensive to feed all those people. They did it with a Loving Smile. I will always apreciate the memory of so much generosity. Not everyone does the same.
So, here we are. I feel like an abandoned child at times. We are all moving up at the table and it is our turn to leave behind for our families the legacy of Joy, Peace and Love thru our efforts.
Much Peace to you Duker and many Blessings for the Beginning of Joyous times in your future.
I couldn't have said it better Duane! This will be my 4th Christmas without my mother. I have to say, that it is easier this year for some reason. I don't know why because there are times when the grief still comes full force...like on any ordinary, regular day...and I expected to feel so sad now because it's Christmas and this was always my mother's favorite holiday. However, this year I am content with life and feel that she is present here with me more than ever.
Hope you have a Happy Holiday!!
