If you have an Inspiron series laptop and you get the problem with its adapter then you can replace it with any Dell PA-2E Adapter that is compatible with almost every Dell Inspiron series laptop and many other series laptops as well. The best thing about PA-2E Adapter is that you can get it from Dell or from some other vendor as well.
When you buy a Dell PA-2E charger from Dell, then it is suggested that you should buy it only from those vendors that are authorized to sell the Dell products in their online or offline stores. Other than this it is also suggested that you should check the reviews this sell. If the reviews are not positive, then you should avoid that seller. For reviews internet is your best friend because you can easily find so many candid reviews about seller in an easy manner. In addition to this you should also check the discount that you are getting from that particular seller. If that seller is not giving you any discount on PA-2E adapter then you should buy your required Dell adapter from the official website of Dell.
However, if you will do good research and if you choose the seller wisely, then you can easily get a PA-2E Adapter at a good discounted price. To get this PA-2E Adapter in discounted price you can take help of internet and you can compare the pricing of this adapter from different sellers and service provider. Also, make sure that you check the adapter that you are buying is not refurbished one because few online sellers sell refurbished Dell adapter claiming it as new. In this case they can cheat you with this refurbished adapter and you will get less warranty as well.
In case you want to buy a compatible Dell PA-2E charger, then you can buy that as well from online stores. The biggest benefit of compatible Dell adapter is that you get almost same quality but if half or less the price. Other than this you get warranty as well on compatible Dell PA-2E Adapter that makes it even more attractive to buy a compatible adapter compared to original or branded laptops. However, you need to be more cautious while buying compatible Dell adapter because if you do not choose it wisely you can end up choosing a wrong adapter for you.
While buying compatible Dell adapter, make sure you buy only from those sellers that have good reputation about their product and they provide high quality services as well. To get this result you should first read and understand review of those websites that sell Dell PA-2E Adapter and you should buy a Dell PA-2E charger from only those sellers that have positive reviews. Other than this cost and warranty is also very important, so after short listing few vendors compare the cost and warranty that they are offering to you and on the basis of those particular offering you can select a compatible Dell adapter that suits best for your specific requirement.
If someone is searching for a certified and high quality adapter just like a adapter for DELL Inspiron N5010 Battery... then www.uklaptopbatteries.co.uk is the best place for them. As one of the largest distributor of replacement laptop adapters in UK, consumers are guaranteed of 100- Day Money Back Policy and a 2-Year Warranty.

thunbergia grandiflora over-winter in north
From a little plant from Logee's bought this spring I now have a huge vine in a pot on my patio only now starting to flower. I don't have a greenhouse and not even many good sunny windows but was wondering if there is a way to over-winter this. I am hoping maybe I could force it into dormancy (by letting a frost hit it) and then cut it back and stick it in my cool basement over-winter. Does anyone know if this would work? It works for many of my tropicals.
I have overwintered a Thunbergia, it may be grandiflora, but I forget now...I keep it in the garage, under an overhead light. I cut back on watering it and it seems to go dormant pretty well. I can always tell when spring is coming because it wakes up and starts making nice shoots out of the crown under the soil surface.

Health officials worry mobile games touting sugary foods unfairly target children
It used to be Saturday morning cartoons touring sugary cereals and candy moms and dads had to worry about. Now, in our mobile world there's a new concern.
Adver-games are games on mobile phones and tablets usually featuring unhealthy foods.
With nearly one in five children obese in our country, there's concern and growing controversy over how food is being marketed to our kids.
Aimee Yoon's children like to play with their food, but not in the way you might think.
Using tablets and phones they swirl slushy drinks, jiggle gelatin snacks, and flick lollipops.
"Ii think as long as the game is engaging to them then they're kind of hooked and want to keep playing it," said Yoon.
Yoon's kids are part of the estimated 1.2 million children playing these new advergames–video games on tablets and phones that tout cereals, candy, and fast food.
"These games are accessible anytime and anywhere," said Dr. Jennifer Harris who's with Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity says her new research proves advergames are an effective sales pitch.
"They ate about 50% more snack food immediately afterwards than kids who didn't play those games." said Harris.
Combine that statistic with a growing number of obese children and you get a medical community that's demanding change.
But right now, the Federal Trade Commission does not have any authority over how companies market food to children. It does recommend companies only advertise foods that meet quote "meaningful nutrition standards."
"The government doesn't define meaningful nutrition standards. Right now, it's up to each individual company to decide what that is," said Elaine Kolish. Kolish heads up the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising initiative which is made up of 16 major food companies who recently pledged to market healthier foods to kids.
Still, some companies claim their Adver-games aren't targeting children, but older teens and adults, setting them free from those guidelines.

Filing complaints about LG must read.
auntyaraJuly 19, 2013
Hi all,
I just posted a rant on the "up date on problems with LG refrigerator" Topic.
I'm not sure if you all know that just complaining to the customer service person that answers the phone, isn't actually filing a complaint.
You have to say "I would like to file a complaint" It's a whole other form they have to submit to LG.
They will record all the things wrong so get your list ready before calling. Tell them everything.
:) Laura
I'm hoping for a recall. I want a fridge, not a fire hazard.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Power and The Passion,
The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Time To Voices (Audio CD)
Brighton's Blood Red Shoes are on fine form with their third album
'In Time To Voices'. Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell seem to have
gone from strength to strength with this collection of eleven new songs.
There is more depth and polish in evidence here than in their last outing ,
2010's 'Fire Like This'. The melodies and arrangements are well-constructed
and more than a few of them stick in your ears like sonic glue. Single 'Cold'
is a particularly strong composition; a rumbustious blur of rattling percussion,
squalling electric guitar and powerful vocals which bumps and grinds along
convincingly. 'Two Dead Minutes', too, shows growing evidence of a refined
pop sensibility in its lush harmonies and quasi-psychedelic ambience. 'Je Me
Perds', on the other hand, despite its brevity, generates enough post-punk
energy to make our hair bristle and burn. 'Down Here In The Dark', however,
gets my vote for pick of the bunch. Mr Ansell's snarling vocal delivery and
Ms Carter' deadpan decorations give The Kills a run for their money. This
fine little duo really do make a big, bad noise when it suits them. Final track,
the epic '7 Years', made my toes tingle and plaster rain down from the ceiling!
There's passion and power aplenty on offer here. Catch it while its hot!

4.0 out of 5 stars Consistency is the key to success,
This review is from: In Time To Voices (Audio CD)
I love Blood Red Shoes and I could not wait for their 3rd album to come out. The record kicks off with title track "In time to voices", which I have to say is one of the best tracks on the whole album. The second track is "Lost Kids" a song inspired by the London Riots last summer and the bands new album. After that we move onto "Cold", if you are a fan of the band then you would have no doubt already heard this song as it was the album's lead single. At this point you have noticed a change in the bands sound; it is more full. You can see the progression, even if it has been a bit slower. Laura's vocals are also a lot stronger, the reason for this is because she says that it is due to all the alcohol consumed on tour.
The next two tracks are your typical good quality Blood Red Shoes song that we have become accustomed to. The album has a general mellower feel compared to the last one especially. It also has a few songs that feature and acoustic guitar, allowing for one of the best tracks, maybe even the best track on the album; "Nighlight". A song that features sparse drums and piano, definatley one the bands better songs. Then we move to "Je Me Perds" a distorted sub two minute song that is an overall rock out that I love. After that the rest of the album seems to drop to a steadily pace of quality, nothing mind blowing here, but still a good time to be had.
The band have always made good records but that might be there problem, they sort of started as they meant to carry on. Each album being as good as the next, and the previous. I hope that they will try and change direction on their fourth album because you can already hear that they have begun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, catchy and calming songs!,
This review is from: In Time To Voices (Audio CD)
This is honestly a brilliant cd, i find a lot of the songs really calming and relaxing, but at the same time catchy. I think the song Cold is the best one and i can't stop listening to it!! Definitely worth it. It came in good condition as well. I would recommend this. Though it did take me a while to get into it cos it's not really what i usually listen to, but once i got into it i loved it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely excellent!,
This review is from: In Time To Voices [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Whether you're a new or old fan of Blood Red Shoes I can thoroughly recommend this album, particularly in this format! The vinyl version comes with the CD version and I have carefully listened to both and have to say the vinyl version sound so much richer and my friends agree. Not only that but the album art and quality of the sleeves really shine compared to those awful plastic jewel cases with flimsy hinges. This album has become a proud part of my vinyl collection and gets played often.
5.0 out of 5 stars good item.,

First Blood Red Shoes album I've purchased, partly in preparation for seeing them at Leeds Fest. Absolutely loved it - partly addictive. Had to move on to something else in the car because I had it on repeat and couldn't give it up. Buy, listen, love. Bring on Leeds Fest!

Sugar Mama
I posted recently about Chocolate Covered Sugar Babies and lamented the loss of the Sugar Mama, which was a chocolate covered Sugar Daddy. Well, a couple of people have since told me that Sugar Mamas do actually exist. But only in name.
I think the story goes something like this: Sugar Daddy and the first Sugar Mama got married and had a mess of Sugar Babies. But Sugar Daddy wasn't happy. Sugar Mama wasn't happy, maybe resentful that the Sugar Babies got all the attention, maybe she started to drink, or maybe it had something to do with the big company, Nabisco, selling the Sugar Family to Tootsie, but Sugar Mama disappeared. I don't want to say that someone put a hit out on her, but it seems that someone quietly got rid of her and was hoping that we'd forget that Sugar Daddy was a single parent. Maybe it was a Mexican divorce and Sugar Mama is out there somewhere, living under a different name, but she's hiding really well.
So later on the new Sugar Mama comes along and Sugar Daddy gets a quickie marriage, I reckon they didn't even go to Vegas, probably just to the courthouse in one of the states where you don't have to wait. Sugar Daddy told Sugar Babies to call his new wife Sugar Mama, and I guess the Sugar Babies have complied ... but she's not their Mama. She's nothing like their Mama.
I wouldn't really mind if Sugar Mama is Sugar Daddy's trophy wife, but she'd have to be a trophy of some kind. She's not really that good looking, just little flat squares of quasi caramel. Instead of being smooth and slow like Sugar Daddy, Sugar Mama is a little grainy, very soft and lacking in a strong caramelized sugar taste and that stunning orange/brown color that Sugar Daddy and the Sugar Babies share. However, Sugar Mama is not a hazard to dental work in the same way that Sugar Daddy can be.
I certainly like them better than the Kraft caramels, and they're nice and soft and chewy, but they're lacking in a certain elasticity and smoothness. They don't have that grainy chew towards the end that Sugar Babies have, but they also don't that ultra dense chew that lasts to the very end with Sugar Daddy. Now, if you're thinking you can't make a smaller version of the Sugar Daddy, you have to remember that they used to sell something called Sugar Daddy Nuggets, which were pretty much the same format as Sugar Mamas, but you know, really good.
Why did they do this? What's with these big candy companies discontinuing a candy and then coopting the old name for use in a different candy (remember Marathon? Mars now uses the name for an energy type bar)? Can't they at least wait a generation or two to prevent muddling? Aren't there enough words out there that they can just take new names? I guess it'd look funny calling these Sugar Step-Mamas.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Line
Sometimes I think that I'm neglecting some of the best candy in the world just because it's been around forever. Sure, CandyBlog is here to help me and you expand our candy horizons, but that doesn't mean that we need to cast aside our tried-and-true friends. Like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
So I decided to revisit these old friends, and of course include whatever new and funky versions are out there.
First, there's the classic Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. It got its first commercial media blast with a campaign in the 70s that featured two people - one eating peanut butter from a jar and the other eating a chocolate bar. They would collide and the chocolate bar would end up in the peanut butter and the chocolate eater would complain, "You got peanut butter on my chocolate!" The peanut butter eater would complain, "You got chocolate in my peanut butter!" Then they'd both taste it and it'd be pure love. Cue the jingle ... Two great tastes that taste great together, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
There ain't a thing wrong with this candy. It's simple and pure, the combination of two strong flavors. A milk chocolate cup filled with a slightly crumbly, dense peanut butter with a little salty kick. The proportions are spot-on. Enough milk chocolate to lubricate the sticky, thick peanut butter. Enough salt to balance the sweet chocolate. As candy goes, it's not even as bad for you as you might think. Yes, half the calories come from fat, but for your 220 calories you're getting 4 grams of protein and 1 gram of fiber. Show me a nutrition bar that does that and tastes this good. Okay, maybe there are some. Show me one that costs $.75!
The Reese's Double Chocolate was an oddity. First, let me say that Hershey's has chocolated a couple of candy bars lately with good results. I liked the York Peppermint Truffle Pattie and the Almond Joy Chocolate Chocolate. So I was thinking this could be similar by adding a bit of fudgyness to the center.
What it did was mute the flavor of the center. I don't know how else to describe it. It didn't taste chocolatey, just less peanut buttery but just as dense and creamy. It's not offensively bad and if there were no regular Reese's around I wouldn't be adverse to this, but it seems kind of unnecessary. It's like someone said, "I'd like a less peanutty Reese's" and this is the result.
I understand the rationale behind the Extra Smooth & Creamy, after all, the center of a Reese's Cup does have some peanut texture to it. There are people out there who like creamy peanut butter and those who like chunky. The change in texture definitely changed the dynamic here. It made it ultra dense and actually melded a lot of the flavors together. The chocolate didn't seem distinct from the peanut butter; the sweet didn't seem distinct from the salt.
The latest addition to the Reese's line is the Reese's Caramel. The promotion for this new cup is all over the place. It seems like a natural extension of the candy cup and I was more than willing to entertain the notion that it would work. The commercials and even the packaging suggests that it's flowing, gooey caramel that's easily distinguished from the other primary ingredients - peanut butter and chocolate. It's not. I mean, I could detect a bit of additional sweetness, and if I took the cup apart the caramel by itself had a flavor, but it just wasn't distinctive enough to play with the big hitters - chocolate and peanuts.
Also, it suffers from some mess issues. Sometimes I'll take a bite of my candy cup and set it down and do something at my desk and then have another bite. That's not really an option here. Eventually the caramel will come flowing out. Sticky, sticky caramel. Maybe as a miniature I'd be more happy.
The White Chocolate Reese's is not for me. But I'm not saying it's a bad bar, it's got a nice balance and for white chocolate, it uses real cocoa butter so it has a buttery, creamy quality. The saltiness of the peanut butter and the sweetness of the white chocolate balance well, but it lacks a dark and intense punch that the milk chocolate can provide. I reviewed this previously.
(NOTE: As of early 2008 this product is now called White Reese's, as it doesn't use real white chocolate with cocoa butter. It is not as good as it used to be, sweeter and with a waxier mouthfeel.)
As if all the iterations of the classic cup of peanut butter inside chocolate isn't enough, they messed around with proportion and portion. Witness the Big Cup. Below, I've illustrated the size difference of the regular Reese's Cup and the Big Cup.
The regular cup is approximately .75 ounces, the Big Cup is 1.4 ounces (basically double).
It says on the wrapper that the Reese's Big Cup "Packs some serious peanut butter" and they're not kidding.
I've mentioned this before, but there's something to be said for proportion. But it's not just the amount of chocolate and the amount of peanut butter, it also has to do with proximity and how it blends in the mouth. There's too much peanut butter here! However, if you're a peanut butter lover and are looking for a bigger peanut punch, this might be for you.
The Big Cup with Nuts seems to understand the idea of "unique selling proposition". It's a cup but with whole nuts in there (well, maybe they're peanut halves)! What's nice is that the nuts have room to spread out, instead of being crammed into the flatter regular cup. The nuts have a great crunch and really seem to set off the ultra-peanutty butter. These have also been released in a miniature version, but I'm not sure how well that's going to work (I haven't seen them in stores yet).
Like its smaller brother, the White Chocolate Big Cup features white chocolate made with cocoa butter, not hydrogenated tropical oils. It smells like Easter and benefits from the bigger proportion of peanut butter. It's still not appealing to me, though, but slightly better than the regular sized version.
The Reese's line is certainly not limited to "cups" and I think I've reviewed most of the other items in the line: Reese's Bites (soon to be discontinued), Reese's Cookies, FastBreak, Reese's Sticks, Nutrageous, Reese's Snack Barz, Reese's Pieces Peanut, Reese's Easter Eggs (two versions).
I could have held this review until I got a hold of the other new Limited Editions: Inside Out (which I think they've done before) and Fudge plus the Dark Chocolate Miniatures, but by then there'll be something else on the horizon and this post will be REALLY long. I didn't rate the candies individually but I give Reese's a 9 out of 10 as a candy expression of peanut butter. There are some real misses in their line of candies (see previous reviews) but the new items like the cookies and of course the tried and true miniatures keep the average well above average.

Pocky Caramel
Like KitKats and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, there are a lot of different versions of Pocky, and I'll probably never get through all of them. Luckily this one came in a smaller package.
This petite sized box is about one third the size of a regular box of Pocky, which is fine for me when I'm still experimenting. Pocky Caramel is the same bland cookie/pretzel stick this time dipped in a white-chocolate-style caramel-flavored coating.
What was oddest about the flavor of these was not that it tasted like caramel, and it did, but that it tasted rather like orange. Like a nice orange creme brulee. I have no idea how this was achieved, but I found it rather nice. Even though there was a strong powdered milk flavor to the whole thing it didn't feel grainy or fake-tasting. They were rather sweet through and probably too sweet for my tastes as Pocky goes, but I'm starting to think that Pocky should make a combo pack that has little packets of different flavors in it so you can mix it up. Maybe eating a Chocolate Pocky and Caramel Pocky together would be tasty.

Scharffen Berger Tasting Squares
I picked these up last December and have been munching on them.
There are some things that I really like about Scharffen Berger chocolate, but few of them have to do with taste. I like the idea of them. I like their design aesthetic, I like their vibe, I like their factory. I, unfortunately, don't care much for their chocolate. Of course there are exceptions, such as the Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs, it just goes to show, you can't judge all products by their brand.
Try as I might, I just can't like their plain chocolates.
Extra Dark 82% Cacao - yes, it's very dark lookin' stuff. Lustrous and glossy, it has a nice snap and a strongly chocolatey smell. The immediate burst on the tongue is an astringency that just sucks you dry. There are some anise notes and even some basil all laced with an unpleasant bitterness. The chocolate itself is smooth but very sour. It's great for making sauces though and this is the stuff I used at Thanksgiving for making a hard sauce for pecan pie.
Mint 62% Cacao - really, really minty. No, seriously ... you'll take a bite and look at it the little bar and wonder why it even resembles chocolate. Kind of sweet, there's a strange smoky quality to it that doesn't really go with the mint.
Semisweet - after tasting the Extra Dark, this was more than semisweet, it was very sweet. It's got a very strong woodsy base to it that reminds me of cedar. It's slightly grainy, like the sugar isn't completely emulsified with the chocolate or something. There is only the slightest indication of the acidity and astringency of the darker chocolate but it does have a hint of black pepper that I find very nice. Still, the mix of sweet, butter and chocolate flavors just isn't right for my palate.
Milk Chocolate 41% - again with the tartness. Even the creamy dairy notes are missing, it's smooth but it's missing the fullness of flavor. There are lots of flavors at work here, but none of them particularly chocolatey.
Mocha - the coffee notes here are well rounded and feel much more honest than most coffee chocolates that I've tried. But it's not as smooth and has both the acidity of the chocolate and the coffee that just combines in a way that in a way is tasty, but keeps me from eating a lot. But really, why would I want to keep buying a chocolate just because I don't want to eat it that much?
I know I send some pretty mixed messages when it comes to Scharffen Berger. I raved about the Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs, but I don't like the chocolate that they make them into. I can't explain it, so I'll just let it be what it is.
GooGoo Cluster
It's so weird how candy seems to appear sometimes. It might have been there all along, but it's invisible to me unless I know what I'm looking for. For a long time I wasn't even interested in GooGoo Clusters. Mostly because of the marshmallow element. It's odd that I say that I don't like marshmallows much, but then I look at the items I've reviewed and see the tally that I've posted about marshmallow candies 16 times before but only 9 posts about licorice or 10 about malt which are actually a favorites of mine. But in my defense I most recently tried the GooGoo Supreme because it included one of my favorite nuts, the Pecan.
As disappointing as that bar was, it did get me curious about the GooGoo Cluster. But where to find one? I thought about ordering them online, but it's kind of a hassle and candy is all about easy, isn't it? Then I was in the 99 Cent Only Store looking for some cheap storage bins for all my candy and I breezed through the candy aisle and saw them!
The GooGoo Cluster is a flat marshmallow center with a glaze of caramel which is then covered in a mix of milk chocolate studded with peanuts.
There are a lot of nuts, and they're like those Spanish peanuts in that many still have their skins. It's an interesting combination of textures and flavors. The goo is soft and though not quite flowing, it's not foamy either. The caramel provides a good bit of chew to the whole thing and then there's the chocolate and coconut. Yes, there's coconut in here - which gives the peanuts much more of a nutty pop and makes everything taste creamier.
I was VERY suprised by this bar. First, I think it helps that it was obviously fresh. I'm often hesitant to review bargain store candy, but these are clearly not leftovers or closeouts. Second, it's a great combination of flavors in the proper proportions. (As long as you like peanuts). It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't too gooey (if you can believe that a bar named GooGoo isn't too gooey).
I just hope they keep selling them at the 99 Cent Only Store ... or maybe I hope they don't!

Good news:

How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) says it supports the UK government's call for the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to bring forward its review of the availability of 0.50% sulphur fuel. As more and more locations declare ECA requirements, the latest being Hong Kong this week, the greater the demand for low sulphur fuel.
IBIA considers that the shipping industry needs some definitive dates to plan implementations on board; the same information is required for the refining industry and the bunker sector.
Uncertainty around dates is likely to delay crucial investment decisions and IBIA believes that the shipping and oil industries need clarity. The IMO regulation (Marpol Annexe VI) stipulates a 1 January 2020 start to the 0.50% rule but this could be extended to 2025, subject to the outcome of the availability study.
IBIA chief executive Peter Hall said:
"Our members need clarity and the sooner that the availability study is undertaken, the better."
The IBIA membership is being asked to indicate how strongly they support undertaking the availability study earlier.
IMO currently requires the review of the availability of 0.50% sulphur fuel to have been completed by 2018. The start date of the review has been considered by an IMO correspondence group. The correspondence group reported to the 62nd session of the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee in 2011 that the start date should be between 2015 and 2017 for the review. The correspondence group's report did not favour a start date before 2015. The committee has yet to take a decision on the appropriate date for the start of the review.
The IMO has designated three Emission Control Areas (ECAs) which are currently in effect: the Baltic Sea (sulphur oxides only); the North Sea ECA (sulphur oxides only), which includes the English Channel; and the North American ECA (sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter). IMO has also designated the United States Caribbean Sea ECA (sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter), which will take effect on 1 January 2014.

SEVEN members of a nationwide drugs ring that brought crack cocaine and heroin to the streets of Southampton have been jailed for a total of 19 years.
More than 100 officers across the UK busted the major drugs operation that saw the seven arrested and charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs across the south, including Hampshire, Dorset and Cornwall.
Today at Newport Crown Court, gang leader Simon Simpson, from Greater Manchester, was hit with the longest sentence of six year and four months behind bars.
Troy Clack, 20, from Laundry Road, Southampton, was sentence to two years and four months, Robert Guilfoyle, 21, from Camborne, Cornwall, got two years, Dale Carroll, from Greater Manchester, got three years and four months and Ryan Poole, also from Greater Manchester received a three year sentence.
Jake Newson, 20, from Plymouth and Sonny Elms from Greater Manchester were both sentence to two years and four months behind bars.
Detective Sergeant Ross Toms of Hampshire Major Investigation Team said; "Today's sentencing should serve as a warning to others that drug dealers are not tolerated in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
"We are committed to making the two counties a hostile environment for criminals, especially those who bring with them the kind of misery and additional crime that goes hand in hand with drugs and their supply.
"It took thorough and lengthy investigation to identifying this criminal gang, which had previously avoided detection by internally secreting Class A drugs when travelling from Manchester to the south coast. I sincerely hope the result we've seen today goes some way to reassure people living and working in the two counties that we take a hard line on drug dealing and will always push for conviction."

Cool gifts for geeks, 2011: Computer, notebook and tablet tech treasures
Computers and notebooks and tablets, oh my!
We've always had a category covering the world of computers in our Cool Yule Tools holiday gift guide. But then computers gave way to notebooks (so we combined the category), and then tablets have entered the scene. With the arrival and success of the iPad and other tablets, many have said that "the PC is dead", and we'll admit, our choices of cool computers are fewer than in years past. But there are still some nice systems out there, here are a bunch of desktops, notebooks, and yes, tablets, that we think would make for some good gifts:

MacBook Air (Model MC965LL/A), by Apple
My holiday gift to me this year? A shiny new MacBook Air, of course. I switched to Macs about three years ago, but this is my first Mac notebook - and I couldn't be happier. It's light (less than three pounds - perfect for travel), fast (1.7 GHz. dual-core i5 with 4GB of memory and 128GB of very fast flash storage), and slick. The keyboard is backlit and the 300-Mbps Wi-Fi is dual-band. It has a Thunderbolt port and a multi-touch trackpad. Both battery life and audio quality are great. It boots up in seconds, and is, like all Macs, very easy to use. The 13-inch screen has a 1,440 by 900 native resolution, significantly better than most notebooks, and is bright and clear.
OK, the person you're buying for may not be a Mac person, and you may be put off by the price (around $1,300 as configured - there are some cheaper and more expensive Air models available), but there's a reason Mac users are so loyal. Anyone receiving this notebook from you will be your best friend forever. Seriously, if you haven't considered a Mac before, the new Air model is an excellent reason to do so. I know you, or someone you really, really like - will be more than happy with this one.
Cool Yule rating: 5 stars

Violet hue. Pretty nose with tobacco, leather and plum scents. Nice blend of black fruit and graphite have the great backing of cedar-laced tannins. Tart, drying notes on the finish with hints of maple and focused tannins.
(10/ 2008)
Medium ruby-red. Currant, tobacco and menthol on the nose: classic Oakville cabernet. Then broad, lush and sweet, with very ripe flavors of plum, currant, chocolate and tobacco nicely lifted by minerality. Finishes broad, with huge but ripe tannins and noteworthy length. I find this fresher and less extreme than the Stag's Leap bottling.
(5/ 2009)
Let us start by saying that this slightly fat and lavishly oaked offering is far riper than the name on its label predicts, but its bearings are set on convincing Cabernet fruit, and it succeeds in spite of its ripeness. Although its finishing mix of tannin and heat make for a bit of last-minute harshness, it shows fine continuity, extract and depth and will find more refinement as it develops in bottle over the next five to eight years.
(8/ 2008)
Since 2002 the Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville District has been one of the best Cabernets in Napa Valley dollar-for-dollar. 79% its grapes are sourced from the famed To Kalon vineyard, while the remaining fruit comes from nearby vineyards on the Oakville Bench. It's a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% each Malbec and Merlot, aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Seductive nose of juicy berries, violets, earth and black truffles. On the palate the wine displays the tell-tale Oakville flavors of blackberry, plum, black olive and chocolate nuances. There is excellent balance, structure and harmony here with enough oak to give it a rich, subtle flavor without overwhelming the layers of complexity.

Thanksgiving Cactus not growing
I have a Thanksgiving Cactus that I purchased in December of last year. It had a number of unopened flower buds on it when I purchased it and bloomed for a couple of weeks after. I placed it outdoors once I noticed new growth (about mid to late February; we had some pretty warm weather for February) All in the month of February, it created a total of four new leaves. Since February, it has not created any new growth. If anything, it has attempted to create a few flower buds that never fully developed and have since fallen off (the buds themselves were very small before they fell off). Perhaps I'm just impatient, but I'm curious, am I doing something wrong? I was expecting some new growth by now, another Thanksgiving Cactus I had last year exploded by the same time last year.
It could be a combination of light and feeding. I bought two of them two Thanksgiving's ago, and they are in two totally different areas. The one that gets tons of bright, direct light and regular watering is about ten times the size of the one that gets a few hours of bright light each day and semi-regular watering. Baring that, my next guess would be soil. A plant can't grow if it doesn't have a good foundation.
I think you have given me an idea. I'm afraid it might not be getting enough light. Unfortunately we are in an apartment with just a patio so I don't have many "areas" outside to place it right now. The one I had last year actually bleached from being placed in direct sun (however, it was happy in the sense that it still exploded and has since bloomed). I am not sure it is a soil issue (I don't have Al's mix, mind you) so I believe you are right about the lighting.
Yes, I had it, I gave it to my Mother-in-law the end of last year. I found this one that I liked a little more (different colored flowers). I am attempting to not bleach this one as I bleached the one I had last year from too much direct sun.
Thanks for your input, I'm not sure if it was losing its buds from a change in environment though as it began blooming about a month after I moved it outside and haven't moved it since.
Thank you all for your input, I'm probably still being impatient but I believe I know why it's not growing.
Not sure what type of patio you have, but if it has railings you can always get one of those planter units that hook on the railing and hang over it. Or a shelving unit that might fit in a corner or something equally space saving. Just remember to acclimate it gradually to the light so you don't shock it by throwing it into full sun all at once.
Best of luck to you!
Thanks a lot! I do have railings. This is perhaps a silly question, but can you place TCs in direct sun (I'm not trying to sound as if I am questioning you, I just thought that when I bleached mine last year I did something wrong by giving it direct sun, perhaps it was just too many hours or I didn't acclimate it properly)? How many hours of direct sun do you recommend as a maximum?
According to information I've found (and personal experience), holiday cacti like bright light but not direct sun.
When outdoors I place my TC under other plants so they are always shaded. My Easter Cactus stays inside on a South-facing window shelf under an overhang.

I've never put one outdoors as of yet, but I do have one in front of a sliding patio door (western exposure) that gets a great deal of bright light. It's not direct light, however, so I would probably caution against that. I'm going to side with Linda and say that bright light is good, but I think I would avoid direct light.
Linda and Jeni:
Thank you both for your information! I think I'll have to find the "right" spot for my TC then (enough light but not direct sun). Living in an apartment with limited areas to place plants can be frustrating sometimes. Thanks again for your help!
Hey, Planto:
My apartment solution for hanging plants was an old wooden ladder. The kind you lean against something; not the folding ones.
Hung it on chains (three on each side). That way I could move plants closer or further away from the window.
You could make one from PVC, I imagine, to fit any window. Mine was for the sliding glass doors. I'm only 5'2" so bumping my head wasn't a problem. :-)
In our house, DH did these as a birthday present. Click to make larger and go directly to my WebShots albums.
Oh wow, that's a nice set up you have! Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately the only windows I have that I could put plants near are right next to our bed and the dog tends to... crawl on things (she's a cat in a dog's body I swear). She managed to crawl up onto our kitchen table one day and consume a handful of chocolates! -_-
Old trick is double-sided sticky tape. Great for cats but works with counter surfering/climbing canines, too. :-) You have to leave the tape for a couple of weeks and check to see if it remains sticky.
A client got some particularly strong tape and his Great Dane got her chin stuck! Never counter surfed again. Of course, owners were home when it happened; they closed off the kitchen when they left.
You can also place a mouse trap in the middle of a couple of layers of newspaper. Touching the paper sets the trap off. Never had a dog get hurt.

Planting Native Garden - Hiding awkward stage?
Hi all,
I'm working on landscaping the front of my little cottage in Atwater Village in LA - and using only natives, mostly from Theodore Payne - two kinds of Ceanothus, several kinds of buckwheats, a fuschia, a lupine, and others....
I got some of the free city mulch - and now thinking it will be too rich for these plants - and having a hard time getting a good answer as far as what I can put on the bare dirt to keep it from blowing into my house so I won't feel like I live in the Dust Bowl like my granny - last summer was crazy!!
So it's sort of a mulch question - or maybe a groundcover question - or an erosion question - ? It seems like I should mulch around the plants later in the year as it gets warm - but what to do about the aesthetic/dust bowl problem between the plants as I wait for them to fill in?
Perhaps bark is the right idea? - if so, is it important that it's redwood? what about decomposed granite to keep things tidy and keep the dust down?
Any advice much appreciated!!!!!
los angeles, atwater village 90039
Natives are a journey & those that plant them are appreciated by the Mother. As long as city mulch you have down is 3 or more inches away from the crown you are probably fine.
I would remove it only if:
If you have access to oak leaves - California natives love oak leaves. Shred them and use this as the mulch. Again keeping it 3 or more inches away from the crown so they can breath.
Rocks. A biggish rock or 3 on the hottest side of the plant, 6 to 8 inches away from the base. This creates a moist shadow in the soil that they will send feeder roots into & draw from in the hottest part of the summer.
Good luck.
If you go look around a native area there is mulch-like material on the surface, fallen leaves and so forth. Mulch is not a problem.
When I first planted my natives garden there were a lot of spaces between what would someday become large plants. Someone gave me many packets of annual seeds. I put all in a bowl, mixed thoroughly, and tossed all over. For the next couple of years the garden was a riot of annual color. The annuals started to disappear just as the natives were starting to get large enough to make a presence.
your selections from Theodore Payne sound LOVELY!!
when we planted our native garden here in LA we used city mulch to start, 3-4" thick, but kept the mulch away from the crown of the plant (where the plant goes into the ground) and it worked out fine. 1-2 years later we got beautiful Sycamore tree mulch from a tree trimming company and used that to supplement and replace the older mulch. And it was FREE-- tree trimmers have to pay to dump their mulched up trimmings, so they're happy to deliver to you and get it of their hands. Just make sure you work w a reputable tree trimmer so you know what you're getting (not a diseased tree or something).
Just reiterating what everyone else basically said: natives will take some times to get established (but you'll be so happy when they do). Some people like to plant fillers, like annuals, as previously said, or other short-lived plants, like Gambelia (aka Galvezia) or Acmispon, to temporarily fill it in. There's a lot more choices out there.
Really glad to see another California native gardener :)
Thanks so much everyone! Glad I didn't sweep the mulch back into the green bin. ;) Thanks for the recommendations. The folks at Theodore Payne mentioned planting wildflowers so perhaps I will clear away some spots and throw some of my Shady Mix down for a little color in the meantime.
Thanks for your help as I navigate the waters of native gardening for the first time!!

Beginner tarrium plants/and info
In my bedroom I have a 20 gallon Aquarium , I've never kept carnivorous plants before -aside from venius flytraps brought at a store-died soon after.
What Matereals/substrate do I need to get started. What lighting would be best, What temp do I keep plants at. How do I care for plants throughout the year.
Right now Its cold out and I live in MN should I wait tell spring/should plants be outdoors?
Are there good websites to order exotic/fancy carnivorous plants from.
I'm into pitchers/traps/sundews- which ones are best for beginners?.
You can read the previous string "have always wanted cp's, now i have them! advice please". It already has some good advice how to grow them and a title of a very useful book to read.
It is winter in MN so you cannot grow them outdoors until spring.
There are good website that sell CP like californiacarnivores.com, flytraps.com, and cobraplant.com; but I advice not to buy exotic or fancy CP for now. You lack experience to grow them, wait until you acquire enough experience growing the easy ones first. If not, your going to end up wasting $25, $50, or $100.
So the best plants to purchase is in Sarracenias are hybrids like S. x 'Scarlet Belle', S. x 'Judith Hindle', and S. x ÂDanaÂs DelightÂ. Sundews are the cape sundew, the australina lance sundew, the staghorn sundews, and D. tokaiensis sold as D. spathulata hybrid. These can be found in stores like Home Depo or Lowes, or any other garden nursery in your area.
But you can purchase them at the website I listed above.
And one more thing, you donÂt need a terrarium to grow CPs in your room. I grow mine in my room in less then 15% humidity on a bookshelf.
Terrariums are not needed for CPs. I don't recommend them at all. A 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite is all you need.
Distilled or rain water only. VFTs and Sarrs need FULL sun and dormancy in winter. My Sundews get bright, indirect light in a west window.

The Face Of Progressivism: Students Take Part In "I Have Sex" Video
The video and accompanying commentary pretty much speak for themselves:
Posted below the video:
A message from students at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. They write:
In order to "balance the budget" the House of Representatives recently announced the intention to strip all federal funding to Planned Parenthood. This is unacceptable. It's time to face reality: many young people have sex, and need to know how to stay safe and healthy. Even those who have chosen to wait still need to know how to be safe and healthy when begin their sexual activity. This extreme ideological measure threatens our youth's ability to choose their own future.
In many parts of America, Planned Parenthood is the only place young people can go to learn about safe sex, access contraceptives, or have a simple question about "down there" answered.
With all the rhetoric centering on "government waste," Congress's refusal to close multi-billion dollar corporate tax loopholes and instead eliminate essential, multi-million dollar sexual health programs is beyond hypocritical.
We are starting a student movement to make sure elected leaders know: Americans have sex, and we stand with Planned Parenthood.
Their parents must be so proud.
