take a detour from biking to stroll the gardens and enter this old palazzo. The artifacts within are interesting and well documented.
The gardens here are worth a visit, beautiful and interesting. The inside hopefully is on the docket for restoration because it really needs it.
The formal gardens are beautiful with great statues. The palazzo is very impressive with a very good collection of artworks and a variety of room decorated in different periods. The top floor was closed because someone was sick which seemed a bit of poor organization by those running the place - you pay to see it and then only get...
A wonderful garden to wander in to get out of the major hustle of Lucca. Benches provide places to sit and enjoy the beauty of this lovely little garden.
You can view the gardens from the wall, however if you want to wanderthrough you pay a fee. This is a 17th centure palace with a grand staircase. Part of the palace is open to the public, however the gardens with the statues are the reason to visit. So serene. Lots of photos to be taken when the flowers are...
Beautiful formal gardens and atmospheric interior , with some quirky exhibits. A real photographic opportunity, with fountains , statues and a peaceful atmosphere.
We certainly enjoyed going throughout this home. We just noticed it while walking the walls around Lucca and decided to take a look. We really enjoyed the gardens and the interior of the home.
The history of the home is very interesting and is worth seeing if you are spending an extended time in Lucca.
Charming building and garden which is a sanctuary from the streets of Lucca within the walls surrounding. Well worth a visit.
The Palazzo Pfanner is an interesting piece of Lucca architecture and worth a visit. It has a beautiful garden and a great concert hall. When visiting Lucca I recommend checking an events calendar to see when a concert will be held here.
Much as I love exploring Tuscan cities, sometimes you need a bit of greenery and this beautiful garden provides it. Find a seat or bench and just relax for a while with the fountain tinkling in the background

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Inside Story | 15 Jun 2011 14:12 GMT | Science & Technology, Business & Economy, US & Canada, Canada, Norway
The number of people using Facebook has dropped in the UK for the second month in a row, mirroring similar falls in the US, Canada and Norway - giving the first signs that the social network's popularity may be waning in the west.
But the website continues to grow worldwide, hitting an all-time high of 687 million users. That is according to data from the tracking company Inside Facebook, which uses Facebook's own advertising tools to determine the number of people using the site every month. Growth has slowed, however, having risen by 13.9 million accounts in April and then just 11.8 million in May. Typically in the past year it has grown by 20 million a month. That slowdown could thwart founder Mark Zuckerberg's ambition to reach one billion users worldwide, despite his prediction last June that: "It is almost a guarantee that it will happen." Just why has the use of Facebook peaked this way in Western countries while it seems to continue to rise around the world? Inside Story with presenter Teymoor Nabili discusses with guests: Charlotte McEleny, a senior reporter for the New Media Age publication; Kevin Anderson, a technology journalist; and Barry Fox, a contributing editor for Consumer Electronics Daily.
This episode of Inside Story aired on Tuesday, June 14, 2011.

Think I over pruned....
Hi folks,
I have 4 cityline hydrangas that haven't bloomed this summer. One did have a couple of blooms but the other three did not. After some research I think I might have overpruned them. I probably should have left them alone but read somewhere that they should be pruned. So anyways it's too late to undo that, but my question is - will the blooms be back next year if I leave them alone and don't do any pruning this year? Or are they ruined for good? :(
They aren't ruined for good, but you likely removed any flower buds for this year with your pruning. They bloom on wood produced the previous year, if you remove that, no flowers. The Cityline series charm in part is that they are more compact plants that can work in a smaller garden. Other than removing any winter damage, they really shouldn't require pruning at all, only deadheading if you wish to do that - removing the spent blooms to tidy up the plants.
You don't say which gardening zone you are living in. These are macrophylla hydrangeas and flower buds may be killed by harsh winters, Spring freezes if not protected too.

Electrical Odor?
Ive read online about electrical safety and sometimes they mention an "electrical odor". What does this smell like? I have no reference.
Electricty has no oder. I assume you're talking about the smells you can get when you have a problem such as arcing or melting insulation. That's almost impossible to describe. i.e. what does a steak smell like? I just don't know how you would put that into words.
Ozone and the stench of burning insulation are the most common 'electrical' smells you will find.
Ozone has a characteristic sharp odor and is mildly irritating.
The O3 molecule quickly breaks down throwing off an oxygen atom that is VERY reactive.
Exposure to high enough levels of free oxygen can cause burns at room temperature.
It is generated every time an arc occurs in small quantities.
Universal motors, model trains, model race cars, etc. with the sparking from normal operation can make enough to become detectable.
Run an electric drill for a few seconds, then smell near the vents for the motor and you will get a whiff of ozone.
Arcing also causes a lot of heat (many thousands of degrees).
This can lead to burning of insulation.
Depending on what kind is burning (and how hot it actually is) the smell can be mild to pungent.
Either smell from permanent wiring indicates a problem.
Snap switches do not produce enough ozone to be noticed.
A slight smell might be present after a breaker opens from an overload (particularly a short circuit) in a closed panel.
I worked for a company that made ozone generators for water treatment. Actually, ozone is a fairly sweet smelling gas and not pungent at all. When lightning strikes during a storm you get that 'fresh', Spring-like smell. That is caused by the lightning's energy creating ozone. Ozone has a half life of around 20 minutes so it isn't around long, but it is VERY corrosive and you should not breathe it in although you want to because of its pleasant odor. Although many people swear by ozone for indoor air quality, I can tell you it is a very bad idea. It destroys carbon-based tissue. Can't see how that is a good idea to breathe in...
I would describe the 'bad' electrical smell as burnt metal with a hint of burnt plastic.
Do you mean the magic smoke sometimes referred to in electronics?
"All electronics work on magic smoke, if you let this smoke out, the electroincs will cease to work"
Electrical smell, how do you describe it well.. I seem to think of those little slot cars i used to have as a kid, that smell you get running them 'round the track after the little motors heat up.. if you've never shared that experience, perhapse we do not have a frame of reference..
The smell of ozone is not unpleasant, but breathing it in is. It is used because it can work, but many do not consider it safe for human exposure even in modest concentrations. It is really tough on people with asthma. However, since it has a half life of ~20 minutes it doesnt' stick around long. e.g. a 20ppm concentration of ozone is reduced to 10 pmm in 20 minutes, 5 ppm after 40 minutes, etc.
Technically, ozone is not used as an 'air filter' per se. It does not work like a furnace air filter or coffee filter which forms a physical barrier. Instead, it reacts with different particles in the air and environment. Mold and mildew cells are 'destroyed' because of its corrosive behavior. Double bond carbon molecules (aromatics for instance) are broken up to eliminate their unpleasant odor. Dust particles react electrically to the highly charged ozone and 'fall out' of the air rather than float. Thus it is not really an air filter, but more of an air treatment method.
"The smell of ozone is not unpleasant, but breathing it in is."
Even the smell is irritating to many people.
Most of the electrostatic air filters come with a method to reduce the voltage to prevent excessive ozone production.
At VERY low concentrations it might be "a fairly sweet smelling gas and not pungent at all".
At higher levels it causes burning of the eyes and mucous membranes and is very irritating.
Free oxygen produced by the decay of ozone s VERY irritating.
It will oxidize just about anything it comes in contact with, and is used to sterilize things.
Hey Brick, the smell has nothing to do with what it does. That's a separate property. Whether its smell is sweet or if it was pungent, yes it is still very irritating and can burn eyes and nose. Just because arsenic poisons smell like almonds doesn't mean people are going to like it... I like my sister, but it doesn't mean she isn't irritating (sometimes). :-p
"Hey Brick, the smell has nothing to do with what it does."
Never said it did.
It is an irritant.
Different people tolerate different levels, but everyone finds very high levels to be a problem.
It is used to purify air (and even water) since it will oxidize and destroy bacteria, and even viruses, under the right conditions.
They are 'burned' at room temperature by the extreme reactivity of free oxygen.
Ozone generators for air purification are normally located far enough from outlets to allow the gas to react and dissipate before it is discharged in to the living space.
Ozone smells like a circus weasel or a swamp donkey depends if you are north or south of the equator the ozone spins the other way....stick you hand in front of the air discharge vents on a room Ionizer system...that smell that is on your skin....ozone....and because I am north of the equator I would say a circus weasel.

This debate has been over-flogged and answered. The answer is yes, online MBAs are as good as the classroom ones. Why even describe the latter as 'real ones'? This generation lives online!
I am a great fan on your work guys, but this particular article gave me a goofy smile. Having studied business administration myself and spent some time in investment banking I must say that you do not measure success in annual salary. These universities are producing first class "tools" for the successful people. Graduates of business administration are ambitious, willing to work long hours and weekends for no extra pay (working up to 20 h a day). We do hire ourselves nowadays young graduates because they have the ambition and drive - nevertheless they lack focus. Their focus lies on salary/money. Unfortunately that is the reason so many burn out already at the early stages. Become innovative and start to see the world outside the "work,earn,spend" box. Innovation drives value, information and communication brings opportunities and balance makes us successful. Keep looking at the big picture! Liina
Quote: "The days in which students study a broad set of management skills, with little specialisation, are numbered."
I wonder whether the typical MBA program has ever really taught management skills (emphasis on skills). The classic subject matters like Marketing, Finance, Strategy are hardly skills, but knowledge. Learning skills in a classroom requires specific exercises, frequent repetition and immediate feedback, which is not possible in large classes. This is why these skills are often learned on-the-job, or in a short, intensive off-the-job training often given by an independent consultant rather than a professor at a B-school, not only for cost reasons.
But skills like managing conflict, gaining power and influence, leading change, communicating effectively or managing stress are of tantamount importance in a career, perhaps more than deep knowledge in Finance or Marketing, and perhaps much more so today than 20 years ago.
Thus, the days in which students study a broad set of management skills (in a MBA program) are not numbered, they are just beginning at best. e-learning will play an important role in this, but I am not sure whether the classic B-Schools will be at the winning end of the disruptive innovation that comes from e-learning, exactly because they too much focused on subject matter instead of skills, and because the academic world is ever more focused on churning out papers, sometimes of little use for real business.
I wonder if the disruption in teaching delivery methods will encourage disruption in the fundamental curricular approach? When I did my MBA 24 years ago I was surprised to discover that each element of the program (Marketing, Finance, Operations Mgt, etc) was stove-piped, each operating without reference to the others. So the finance modules were all about analysis, management accounting, etc. and the emphasis was naturally on costs. But nowhere was there any discussion of the link between marketing & sales activities and revenue generation. Or of the link between R&D and increased overall operating margins resulting from product innovation. I wrote my thesis on the need for much more "joined-up" courses but, unsurprisingly, things continued to remain stove-piped because each discipline prefers to focus on itself.
so i wonder whether an MBA will hold it's value if online programs from top ranked universities become more available? how will the universities determine the student's credibility?
Can we please get the name of this so called 'Chicago' business school correct? Although by using such a completely ambiguous term, I assume you mean the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, I could just as well misinterpret it to be Kellogg. Having been a student at the Booth School, I can assure you no one calls it 'Chicago' despite some of the other related popular terms such as 'the Chicago boys'. You would do well to adjust your naming accordingly and use 'Booth' if you do in fact mean that university.
You also get the feeling that no one and specially not the lecturer was prepared to discuss the relevance of any subject or module in relevance to the others or the program as a whole. The bits were supposed to fall in place and become a coherent whole at the end by some sort of magic! I didn't see this happen and still question the pertinence of some modules on my 20-years-old MBA program.
Business education. Change management. A problem. Paying for an exam as any commodity is a business. We see in Holland where the value of an exam is worthless because of fiddling the results. Even the examiners have fiddled results creating a system of perpetual "dummheit". In Business education who is to blame when a student fails, the reputation of the school, the teachers or the student who has paid? I remember once in Zurich by an examination, I was told this students parents are very influential in Zurich.
I do not major in business. however,as for a Chinese student, I major in business English. And this major is an new one in China. It is said that the number of the students which choose the business is becoming lager and lager. This major is popular than others. As for the tuition, there does not exist a obvious rise. Nowadays, the business is flourishing. especially the trend of economic globalization is enhanced. as a result, It is a must that the business major becomes popular.
To be or not to be, it is a question
What about best B-Schools for startups? or entrepreneurs?

What's in a name?
Most Popular
Taiwan's politicians are sliding down the slipperiest of slopes with their tit-for-tat renaming game. There is no better way to further divide the already fractious island than to mess with place names, the reservoirs of every society's identity. Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian's ideologically flawed eagerness to rewrite history by obliterating references to the late Kuomintang leader, Chiang Kai-shek, is being countered with equally unsound moves by opponents. Last weekend, Mr Chen ordered that the landmark National Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei be renamed the National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. On Tuesday, that move was parried by city mayor Hau Lung-bin, of the KMT, who officially designating the plaza in front of the presidential office Anti-Corruption and Democracy Square.
Politics are behind the moves. When the independence-minded Mr Chen took office in 2000, after his Democratic Progressive Party ended 51 years of nationalist KMT rule, erasing Chiang's legacy became a priority. Statues have since been toppled, but with national elections less than a year away, and a knife-edge race again likely, the impetus has been stepped up: the international airport was stripped of the one-time general's name last year, and his likeness removed from military bases.
The KMT, not being in national office, has been powerless to counter the order. In Taipei, though, where it controls the government, matters are different. To shame Mr Chen - tainted by a corruption scandal last year in which his wife and son-in-law have been indicted for graft - Mr Hau has used some name-play of his own in the square where anti-Chen opposition rallies have been staged.
Both decisions make a mockery of the word 'democracy'. Names are a society's most important marker, revealing its history, influences, culture and thinking. The process of changing them cannot be an arbitrary one; rather, it should involve as many stakeholders in a community as possible to ensure a sense of inclusiveness and belonging.
The problem is that names are also deeply political by nature, giving the power of ownership to whoever makes the choice. North Vietnam's capture of the rival South's capital, Saigon, in 1975 therefore inevitably led to the city being renamed after the victors' revolutionary hero, Ho Chi Minh; British imperial names for cities in India such as Bangalore, Bombay, Calcutta and Madras have become history by being renamed Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, respectively; and the African National Congress' dominance of politics in post-apartheid South Africa has resulted in colonial references being replaced by party-friendly ones.
Times also change, hence the slew of name changes worldwide obliterating racially, culturally and religiously insensitive references. There are still anomalies, though: among them, Brassiere Hills in the US state of Alaska, Molly's Nipple in the state of Utah and the E.S. 'Nigger' Brown stand at the sports ground in my home town, Toowoomba, in Australia.
'Nigger' is obviously now a politically incorrect term, but it was not so sensitive 50 years ago when the stand was named to honour the city's first international rugby league player, a white Australian with fair skin and blue eyes whose adopted nickname was a stab at his appearance. Indigenous activists have successfully lobbied the United Nations to have the name deemed offensive and, although the stand has been declared unsafe and will be demolished later this year, football officials are adamant that the word will live on in a plaque on a statue in the ground. (Paradoxically, Toowoomba is an Aboriginal word and, when founded in 1860, bucked the colonial trend of using British names.)
The name-calling is causing friction in Toowoomba, just as it is in Taiwan. While race rather than politics is at the core, the lesson is the same: in the absence of a process in which all in the community have a say, and their views are judiciously weighed and considered, only animosity, hatred and an escalation of the feud will result.

Dickinson Sink Owners--What GD hardware did you use?
Thanks to all of you who have posted on the topic of farmhouse sinks and faucets, etc. I have read and reread all the posts and ended up ordering a Dickinson (k6546-4u) sink and Waterhouse faucet set (in Antique Brass).
What do fellow Dickinson sink owners do about garbage disposer flanges? Kohler seems only to make one GD flange and stopper for this sink (k-11352), but I don't really like it because it lacks a strainer and there's limited choice of finishes. I would love to be able to match (more or less) my Antique Brass hardware.
Can we use any GD flange on the 8-inch deep Dickinson or must we use the extended flange types such as those required for the deeper fire clay sinks? Has anyone paired their Dickinson wth a non-kohler GD fixture? What about a basket strainer?
Many thanks
Oops--of course my first message should read "...I ordered a Dickinson sink and WaterSTONE faucet set..." and, thank you, Karen. Maybe I should open up the GD box and see if I have a useable flange, too. I became worried when my plumber confidently proclaimed a regular-size flange wouldn't work with my Dickinson apron sink.
Fran- you will love the waterstone faucet - thought I was going to have to look up another faucet style- lol
We do not have a Dickinson sink but did buy an after market flange for our blanco sink to match our waterstone faucet.

The Stage Pianos have the award-winning Kurzweil sounds and transmit on two, user-selectable, independent MIDI channels. Put your music on stage with the SP line of performance pianos from Kurzweil, the industry leader in sound technology.
32 programs and 32 factory setups are provided which offer a variety of splits and layered combinations (when used as a controller) with programmable controller assignments. Grand Piano offers stretched and non-stretched tuned versions, and programs with different EQ.

New to topiary
I'm interested in growing a topiary for a school project. I will buy the frame, then do everything else on my own. If I start soon would I be able to finish a 2-3 foot tall topiary with creeping fig or English ivy by the end of February? I've also considered using fern moss as a covering, I would imagine using that would cut time down. I've done some research online, but there isn't too much out there on topiaries!
ItâÂÂs a good idea to grow topiary plants in small pots and use "liners" or cuttings according to the shape that you desire.
Here is a webpage that provides details step by step instructions on DIY topiary.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://topiarytree.net/blog/2012/11/18/outdoor-topiary-polyblend-material-for-outdoor-weather/

Short Cuts
St. Leo the Great was born in Tuscany. As deacon, he was dispatched to Gaul as a mediator by Emperor Valentinian III. He reigned as Pope between 440 and 461. He persuaded Emperor Valentinian to recognize the primacy of the Bishop of Rome in an edict in 445. The doctrine of the Incarnation was formed by him in a letter to the Patriarch of Constantinople, who had already condemned Eutyches. At the Council of Chalcedon this same letter was confirmed as the expression of Catholic Faith concerning the Person of Christ.
All secular historical treatises eulogize his efforts during the upheaval of the fifth century barbarian invasion. His encounter with Attila the Hun, at the very gates of Rome persuading him to turn back, remains a historical memorial to his great eloquence. When the Vandals under Genseric occupied the city of Rome, he persuaded the invaders to desist from pillaging the city and harming its inhabitants. He died in 461, leaving many letters and writings of great historical value. His feast day is November 10th.

Started early this morning digging out the sawdust and putting into black bags, have phoned local council to ask if they can dispose as I guess there will be 20 or so bags; back already aching! Have to fix the fence panel, too
Lead Farmer - I'm concerned now about the problem recurring; the lawn is already a mess where the fungus followed the tree root, the stump has been removed but the root remains beneath the lawn.
Thanks again, everyone.
Thank you all for your replies - I am concerned now about disposal with the usual garden rubbish; perhaps it should be included with household waste?
Thanks again,
Had a large Downy Birch removed this afternoon and the stump has been ground out. Honey fungus has been present along the root line into the lawn; should I dispose of the sawdust or will it be safe to use it in the surrounding shrubberies? If it can be used, is it necessary to add any feed/fertiliser?
Thanks as always for your advice.
Thank you Edd, for all the information. The tree surgeon is going to fell the tree and remove the stump when we get the go ahead. I shall have to get help to dig up the lawn and line the area as you suggest, but at least now I know what to do,
I think I should leave well alone until the tree is removed then proceed as you suggest - a real shame to lose the tree.
Thanks again.
Sorry I'm late in responding, but thank you Fleurisa and Edd for your interest. I just have to wait for final approval to fell the tree ( I live in a conservation area) and in the meantime...... do I dig out the fungus and the surrounding turf or perhaps wait for some colder weather to kill it off? The wet, mild conditions here are on the side of the fungus!!
I'm keeping a close eye on surrounding shrubs and trees - there are two more betula close by - much younger and very attractive multi-stemmed varieties and hopefully not quite so susceptible; am I correct in thinking that only older/weaker trees are prone to the problem??
Thanks again for your help.
I am about to remove an old Downy Birch Tree which is diseased and honey fungus is present at its base and along the root line into the lawn - two questions please:
1. How do I deal with the fungus in the lawn?
2. How long before I can plant a new tree in in the same position?
Your advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Thanks Nutcutlet and Bob for your replies. I checked the RHS link and it doesn't look like box blight; they were pot bound and I teased out the root ball a little before re-potting, mixing just a small handful of FBB into the new compost and I've watered regularly. It's reassuring to know that I got it right 'cos I'm still learning.
They've been moved to their new location this afternoon and I will keep a close eye on them over the new few days; don't want to lose them. Perhaps they just didn't like the disturbance. Thank you once again.
Posted this earlier on wrong forum so here goes again!
About 10 days ago, I re-potted two smallish pyramid box trees to larger containers; there is now some browning to the leaves and they fall quite easily , is this to be expected? I added fish blood and bone to the new compost, did I do the wrong thing? What should I use as fertiliser? Also as the new containers are 'front of house' can I use gravel/horticultural grit on top of the compost?
As always your advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Bekkie - the pampas wasn't diseased, the bed was crowded so I had to choose what should go - as the pampas was always tangled with bindweed from a neighbouring garden it had to go! The removal of the grass has exposed a fair expanse of fencing..... I thought trellis and a scented climber, maybe jasmine, but open to other ideas??

In this insightful book, Dawn Brunke reveals how animals can help us to uncover the wisdom we have forgotten. She groups 60 species by their specific teaching - from how to find balance and be a better communicator to being more intuitive and living a joyous life. For example, Fox, Swan and Zebra are united through the teaching of Integration. All three species can help us learn to welcome diversity, reconcile opposites and maintain individuality. Meanwhile, the teaching of Healing unites Dog, Frog and Gorilla, who teach us love and loyalty, gentleness and how to connect to our deeper self. Every entry explores the presence of that species in the natural world and its traditional teaching as it is known through myth and legend or by indigenous peoples. In addition, each group presents a personalized message for humans today: encouragement, suggestions and guidance to help us become more conscious and whole. By opening to animal wisdom, we begin to find ways to reconnect, to deepen, to communicate, to love and to more joyfully participate in the dance of life. With the help of animals, we begin to remember who we really are.
Dawn Brunke is a writer and editor who specializes in the areas of healing, metaphysics and spirituality. She is also an animal communicator and the author of Animal Voices, Shapeshifting with our Animal Companions and Animal Voices, Animal Guides, all of which explore the deeper nature of our relationship with animals, nature, spirit, each other and ourselves. Since 2004 she has been a columnist for Timeless Spirit, a spiritually enlightening online magazine. She is listed in both Who's Who in America and Who's Who of American Women.
