Paul Chan Mo-po is Hong Kong's Secretary for Development. An accountant and the former President of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), he was appointed by Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying after the resignation of Mak Chai-kwong following a housing allowance scandal. In July 2013, Chan was accused of a conflict of interest when it was revealed that he or his family had an interest in a plot of land in the New Territories that the government had plans to develop.
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying on Tuesday came to the defence of his embattled development minister Paul Chan Mo-po, saying Chan had met all the requirements in declaring interest in an agricultural plot.Thursday, 29 August, 2013, 4:13am
The comment came a day after tenders for the first two sites offered under the "Hong Kong property for Hong Kong people" scheme, at Kai Tak, drew a strong response from developers, with 29 bids.2 Jun 2013 - 6:03am
The government has specified for the first time the circumstances in which the People's Liberation Army will occupy a military pier at the new Central waterfront, but it declined to estimate how often the space would be open to the public.29 May 2013 - 11:00am 1 comment
Once again Edwin Tong, of the Civil Engineering and Development Department, is misrepresenting the facts ("General support for multi-pronged land supply approach", April 24), in another desperate attempt on the part of the administration to convince the public that reclamation outside Victoria Harbour is both welcome and urgent.1 May 2013 - 2:32am 1 comment
Responsible leaders look forward and plan for tomorrow. Hong Kong's government is doing as it should by looking for ways to increase the supply of land so that our city can further develop. But the issue is complex and building consensus for a viable strategy is not easy. Even reclamation, a long-favoured solution to providing more land and generating revenue, is controversial.8 Apr 2013 - 2:04am 2 comments
The five sites on the shortlist, all located near the shore, are in Tuen Mun, Sha Tin, Tsing Yi and on Lantau. Together, they could provide about 600 hectares of land, the Development Bureau said.24 Mar 2013 - 6:41am
Three sites could be freed for homes by moving public facilities now on the land into caverns, the government proposed yesterday. But a critic of the scheme said it would cost too much. And one site, in Sai Kung, is potentially controversial as reclamation is suggested to enlarge the area.22 Mar 2013 - 5:43am 2 comments

Hong Kong's government will scrap the land application list system – under which developers can trigger land auctions – in order to increase its control over the city's land supply.
Secretary for Development Paul Chan Mo-po announced on Thursday the land application list system would be cancelled at the start of the 2013-14 financial year in April.28 Feb 2013 - 8:38pm
More hotel rooms could go on sale after the development chief admitted there was a legal loophole allowing such transactions.

Political lesson today: how to spot a minister who is completely out of his depth. This is a topic I can go on about forever, but let's stick to a recent example, due to space constraints.

The government is eyeing up military sites as it searches for land to ease the acute demand for housing, the development chief admitted on Wednesday. Paul Chan Mo-po said the government was "working on" the idea, but did not give details.7 Feb 2013 - 7:46am
A Legislative Council committee has expressed grave dismay at the government's 1982 decision to give an excessive amount of land to the Union Hospital.
The land, which had been granted to the hospital in Sha Tin for health use, was left idle for years until sold for HK$300 million to Henderson Land to develop a luxury property project in 2004.7 Feb 2013 - 5:16am
The development minister said on Wednesday the PLA barracks in Admiralty could be turned into a site for private residential flats, as the government seeks to increase the housing supply.7 Feb 2013 - 3:49am

Exercising or playing sport in cold conditions can lead to injuries such as sprains, strains and blisters and in extreme cold conditions snow blindness, frostbite and hypothermia can occur.
Sports Medicine Australia spokesperson, Dr David Bolzonello says wintry conditions should not be a barrier to exercising. All that is needed is good preparation.
"Exercising in cold weather no doubt places extra demands on the body, which can lead to reduced sporting performance and injuries. However this doesn't mean you have to stop exercising in winter. Most cold-related injuries can be prevented with good preparation and the correct equipment," said Dr David Bolzonello.
Timely tips to prepare for winter sports:
- Acclimatise yourself to exercising in colder weather. For example, train outdoors instead of inside.
- Cold muscles, tendons and ligaments are at greater risk of injury. Warm up, stretch and cool down for longer than usual.
- Be aware that sunburn can occur even on cold and cloudy days (especially when skiing or snowboarding as UV radiation is more severe in alpine regions). Apply broad-spectrum 30+ sunscreen to exposed skin. Also wear eyewear with UV protection.
- Drink water before, during and after activity.
Does exercise cause heart problems?
The truth about stretching
Hip exercises to prevent running injuries
- Don't drink alcohol. While an alcoholic drink seems to warm you up, it actually dilates your blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the skin thereby increasing heat loss by exchange to cold air.
- Dress in layers to trap heat and prevent heat loss. Add or remove layers of clothing as necessary according to exercise level/conditions.
- Make sure footwear fits you properly. Footwear that is too tight or too loose will affect skin circulation and cause blisters.
- Those with a pre-existing medical condition affecting the feet, such as diabetes, should see a doctor before taking part in winter sports.

International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma in Lugano, Switzerland June 19-22, 2013At the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML) there will be three oral presentations and three poster presentations on ibrutinib, and one oral presentation on abexinostat, Pharmacyclics' HDAC inhibitor. One oral presentation in the plenary session will show results using ibrutinib as a monotherapy in R/R CLL patients with deletion 17p as previously reported at AACR earlier this year. One oral presentation will cover the trial results using ibrutinib as a monotherapy in R/R Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM) patients. The other oral presentation will show the Phase I results using R-CHOP plus ibrutinib in frontline NHL patients similar to the data that will be presented at ASCO and EHA in June, 2013. Two posters are updates from the MD Anderson trial using ibrutinib plus rituximab in high risk CLL patients. An additional poster will show updated results from Pharmacyclics' trial PCYC-1104 with similar data from the oral presentation at EHA in June, 2013. An additional oral presentation will show trial data using the HDAC inhibitor abexinostat in patients with R/R follicular lymphoma.

a twist on vertical gardening
I am planning an experament that would be a twist on vertical gardening-
it will be a vertical timber probably a 2x8 or 2x10 by 8', with some type of rings afixed to it (we'll say mason jar rings for example but they may be slightly different) then after attaching the rings in rows 2 by 2 going up one face of the timber with the rings sticking out. [think of it as a bunch of little basketball hoops up the front of a board] a polyester fabric will be stretched across the front and stapled on the back. the rings will create air pockets between the wood and the fabric. then polyester resin will be "painted" onto the fabric to harden it up similar to the technique used in fiberglass fabrication but without the glass mat. holes will be drilled on the top of each "pocket" and the pockets filled with soil. i have selected a variety of tomato that only grows 10-12 inches tall to plant each pocket. i have done extensive research on hydroponics and believe with the right fertalizer and watering schedule i can suport these plants with the small root mass that they will have. if the first trial goes well i would liek to build a "wall pannel" that would have wider rows to grow herbs and could be wall mounted to create an entire herb garden on a sunny wall. i will try to produce some pictures of the design sketches and the prototype when it is built.
i know my descriprion isnt perfect but the pics will clear up any confusion when i get them posted.
let me know what you think so far though?
the variety is called "micro tom hybrid" from the "totally tomatoes" catalog.
I dont even eat tomatos (except salsa and ketchup) but they make a good test crop becasue they are hardy and will look pretty.
eventually i want to do a "culinary herb wall" using this fiberglass-esque gardening system i'm trying to develop.
I think that this is something like what you are considering. They don't work very well. They need careful watering with a pipe so that the top ones get as much water as the bottom ones and none get soggy. The worst is that, as the plant grows, it uses the soil so the soil level drops. The top couple of strawberry plants I grew actually popped out of the soil because it dropped underneath them after they established roots. The thing was flimsy, too -- it was basically just a small bag o soil, like you can buy at the nursery, hung on a wall.
Perhaps you can design around these flaws!
I like your idea...if you do have soil problems, have you thought about using another type of Grow Medium that may be more stable vertically?
Also one question - are you sure the resin you are planning to use is safe? I was just about to purchase some marine epoxy resin the other day until I found a warning about not using the product in aquariums or potable water sources. Didn't specifically say it will harm or kill anything, but that warning was enough for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: my website
Sorry, forgot the link.
Strawberry Plants (25) & 2 Growin' Bags
Enjoy Fresh Berries without Crawling Around in the Dirt!
25 strawberry plants PLUS 2 Growin' Bags to hang them for vertical growth!
Well, we can't persuade Mother Nature to start growing Strawberries on trees, but our Growin' Bags may just be the next best thing for bringing your sweet, plump berries to eye level!
I think the design will look quite ornamental, but depending on your climate zone (which is?) may be doomed without excessive babysitting.
If you have conditions of drying winds and hot weather, the small amounts of growing medium will dry very quickly. Some of this may be mitigated if you grow groups of plants in larger containers--that way there is some method for the moisture to migrate and the larger mass will be easier to maintain.
You might also consider those moisture beads. I haven't used them yet, but if they work as advertised they should help.
Otherwise, unless you have a very small garden, lots of time to watch over your plants, and a cool climate, you would probably be far better served by growing larger tomato plants in a more traditional vertical fashion. Roots sunk deep in cool soil have less problems than roots drying in warm air.
Well guy's I have some ideas that you might find interesting and they're alot easier. Last summer I said that where a farmer can only grow 1 stalk of corn in ground. I can grow 32. And by going vertical I can grow 128! In that same space. A space less than a foot wide and 2 feet long. These are simple structures that are made from 1" PVC pipe you buy from Lowe's. They're called The Corn Tower, the Tomato Wall. The Tomato Waterfall, The Ball & Chain pumpkin maker, The Ball and Chain watermellon maker. This is the Dark Garden Method. Everything is grown in 2 & 3 liter recycled plastic bottles.
Last year it was Garden Pods, Monster Pods, Nanny Pods, Potato's in a bucket. Best yet everything I build is completely moveable, lightweight, use 1/4 the water and no nutrient run off. All of the methods use no shovel, no fuel or machery, no bending over if you don't want to and no weeding. Another positive point is that it's completely organic. Thru this method of Urban Intensive gardening you can grow food by the ton in small spaces. None of the problems of hydroponics and the ease of container gardening.
Now I've already started tradeing seeds for next year's garden right here on GW and elsewhere. In fact here my seeds list if anyone's interested.
Carica Papaya Sunrise/Hawaiian Solo
Beaucarnia Guatemalensis
Acer Palmatum
Alstonea Scholaris "Pagoda tree"
Pritchardia pacifeca "Fiji fan palm"
Schefflera arboricola "Hawaiian schefflera"
Solanum Muricta "Pepino"
Zelkova serrata "Japanese Elm"
Musa balbisiana
Musa coccinea
Musa glaucum
Musa ornata
Musa paradisiacsa
Musa sikkimensis
Musa violacea
Musa X sikkimensis
Musa zebrina
Sorry but thereÂs only 3 or 4 seeds per pack
Are you trying to sell products in an area where selling products is expressly forbidden?
Nice looking pictures, I like the idea of growing in 2 litre bottles, what are you doing about soil?
Also theres no way to fit 32 corn plants in 2 square feet, thats 9 square inches per corn plant, radishes and corrots you can do that to, not corn.
"Are you trying to sell products in an area where selling products is expressly forbidden?"
I'm afraid so, based on the Are You Disabled message thread posted in the Accessible Gardening forum and the 80 plant rack-2'x4'x6' space message thread in the Small Spaces and Urban Gardening forum. A search for georgeiii in iVillage's GardenWeb yields quite a few message threads.
i dont know if he's selling nyhting but he sure is proud of his pictures becasue everytime anyone post anyhting he comes in and post how his method is better.
I'm glad he is excited about building things and growing but this isn't georgeiiiWeb.com
Haahahaaa please Ladies and Gentlemen if any of you can find anywhere on any thread over the whole GW where I advertized, tried to sell or anyone who ever bought anything from me (search the whole internet) please get back with me. Now hmmmmm. I think the questions should be do those idea's work. Anybody? Because if you got angry at me last year your going to be livid this year. Oh and Brenden, look at the pictures ( I don't have to brag)it's less than 5 inches. Please stick around.
Well once again I have an idea some of you might be interested in. It's called The Tomato Waterfall. It's a vertical garden. 6.5' high by 2' wide. Holds 30 2-liter bottles. The structure itself is made of PVC pipe and fittings. Cost less than 20 dollars to build. All plants growing in it are full sized. I have three Tomato Waterfalls so far. The top 8 slots are for tomato's. The weight of the tomato are supported by a rope network attached to the top of each pole. I'm going to add 2 cantiloupes to the base slots just for interest.

MCI received notification that its main manufacturing facilities operated by Motor Coach Industries Ltd., Motor Coach Industries Inc. and Frank Fair Industries Ltd, have been awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification. This is MCI's first corporate-wide certification.
Since 1996, MCI's primary manufacturing facilities began holding individual ISO 9001 certifications; however, this is MCI's first multi-facility certification. Under this program, third-party audits take place twice a year, with re-registration occurring every three years.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards. The ISO 9001 standard addresses "Quality Management." This means what the organization does to fulfill the customer's quality requirements and applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to enhance customer satisfaction and achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives.
"This is an important certification for MCI to achieve," said Ken Russell, senior vice president of operations and customer support. "The certification points to our constant and consistent quality goals, underscoring why our coaches are respected within the industry for their build quality, smooth ride and longevity."
The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.This is the first article in a series dedicated to the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit. The 'DSDS Series' will feature eminent experts writing on issues revolving around The Global Challenge of Resource-Efficient Growth and Development – the theme of the upcoming Summit. Watch this space for more. By Vaaruni Eashwar, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India Though development opportunities across the globe are on the rise, available resources are rapidly shrinking at the same time, necessitating greater resource efficiency. Owing to this, developed as well as developing nations are currently facing the daunting challenge of boosting growth while dealing with rapidly-depleting resources. As renowned environmentalist and Director General of India's The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Dr. R. K. Pachauri, observes "Global resources of various kinds are becoming scarce, even as the demand for them increases rapidly as a result of population growth and significant increases in income." In this scenario, many feel that resource efficiency and carbon-neutral modes of production and consumption will be essential for achieving sustainable development patterns. Such views were also reflected at the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development that was held in June this year. The Conference centred on two primary themes--green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development. The focus was on creating green avenues towards development, particularly for developing countries. The Conference delivered an Outcome Document titled The Future We Want, which expresses a global commitment towards a sustainable future with resolutions that strive towards a green economy. The Document also stresses on participation and initiative not only from governments, but also from individuals. The 13th edition of TERI's annual Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS) revolves around the theme, The Global Challenge of Resource-Efficient Growth and Development, arguably one of the most crucial issues facing world economies at present. The Summit—which will be held from January 31 to February 2, 2013 in Indian capital New Delhi--seeks to facilitate discussions to strengthen and further the resolutions adopted in The Future We Want. The DSDS 2013 will explore various ways for individuals and countries to collaborate on countering the challenges of resource-efficient growth and towards shaping a better future. The Summit will comprise plenary sessions on a range of issues, including: Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change; Mitigating Emissions of Greenhouse Gases and Associated Co-benefits; Employment and Growth Potential of a Green Economy; Choices before the BRICS and a New Economic Construct; Sustainable Development and the New Knowledge Economy; and Defining the Future We Want. Playing host to a galaxy of illustrious speakers, the DSDS 2013 will bring together the Presidents of three International Development Banks--Mr Haruhiko Kuroda, President of the Asian Development Bank; Mr Luis Alberto Moreno, President of the Inter-American Development Bank; and Mr Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank. In addition, H.E. Mr Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, President of the sixty-sixth session of the UN General Assembly, has consented to grace the Summit with his presence, as have Mr Brice Lalonde, Executive Coordinator of Rio+20; Mr Bruno Lafont, Chairman and CEO, Lafarge Group, France; and Nobel Laureate Carlo Rubbia, Scientific Director, Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies, Germany. These speakers are among the first of the many distinguished luminaries that have confirmed and many more such eminent personalities are to be expected at DSDS 2013. Another important event to be held on the sidelines of the Summit, the 10th World CEO Sustainability Summit (WCSS) will gather business leaders on January 30, 2013 for a Corporate Dialogue on Resource Revolution – A Global Imperative and How Business Can Shape It. Through the WCSS discussions, the scope and complexity of the changes on the horizon will be highlighted, including risks posed by dwindling resource availability, and how the public and private sectors can respond to the prevailing challenges. To date, the event has attracted over 1,200 Indian and international CEOs, senior government representatives and thought leaders. Since its inception, the DSDS has played host to current and former heads of government, business, academia, thought leaders and policymakers among others from over forty countries. Over the last twelve years, it has emerged as a leading global platform on sustainable development that is widely acclaimed and respected. Registration for DSDS 2013 is now open. Four package options are available – full Summit registration (all three days), DSDS single day registration, World CEO Sustainability Summit (30th Jan), and a combined package for both WCSS and DSDS. Registrations before 30th November can avail a 10% Early Bird Discount. Visit http://dsds.teriin.org to register.

Cold temps. & fruit trees
Hope you enjoy this article from Good Fruit Grower.
Here is a link that might be useful: Article
What amazes me after reading that is that we don't have more freeze injury here. In TX and Kansas it can drop 60F in a matter of hours. I once saw it go from 96F to 30F in 36 hrs in Amarillo. And that 30F was the only September freeze ever when it happened. In winter 50-60F change in a week isn't rare, it's the norm.
Fruitnut, the big damage is sudden drops well below freezing. If you read the article, one of the sudden drops that started high and ended a little below freezing did no important damage except to Granny Smith fruit. All the tree damage occurred in freezes at least 15 degrees lower than that when trees weren't hardened off.
That type of stuff rarely happens here in southwest Wisconsin. We just don't get warm wx in winter. The snowcover is usually sufficient to hold temps in check, even with warm air close by to the south. I think the last time we were 40F or warmer was late December.
from the article:
"The best temperature range for preparing a tree for the winter is between 30 and 50 degrees, Smith said."
We get a ton of hours in that temp range in the fall here.
"Any warm spells in January or later�anything above 40 to 42�F�will begin to bring the tree out of dormancy. On January 16 this year, the temperature in Wenatchee climbed above 50�F. Smith said this would count in terms of the tree�s dehardening process but the warm spell was not long enough to make the trees particularly vulnerable to cold"
It never really warms here until March, although one winter we NEVER went below 0F until early March...but it was only -5F or something like that...
"Since there�s no way to control the weather, growers should keep in mind that the more vigorous the tree is growing in the fall, the more vulnerable it is to early cold spells. To protect a tree from mid-winter cold injury, wrap the trunk to prevent sun damage, and make sure that the soil is moist going into the winter to avoid root damage. "
I think the biggest asset we have here in Wisconsin is heavy snow cover. It really helps keep the trees dormant well into spring. I know one year i was throwing shaded snow around my Peach trees (that were snow free by that time) to keep the roots chilled, so the tree wouldn't flower too early. I should be doing it with apricots, since they want to flower as sun as the snow is gone.
Great article, thanks for sharing. My biggest concerns growing sensitive fruit here (peaches/sweet cherries) are max low temps (-25F or colder) and late spring freezes...
The article states, "One of Washington�s great cold snaps of all time came in 1955, the temperature in Wenatchee dropped from 56�F to 11�F within two days in mid-November and continued to drop over the next couple of days. Growers reported hearing snapping and popping as tree trunks split at night.... Cherry trees suffered the most, and apples more than pears. Half a million trees were lost."
Like Fruitnut, I'm a bit surprised Washington gets such massive freeze damage from fluctuating temps. While I haven't recorded anything, it doesn't seem unusual for KS to go from 56F to 11F w/in 48 hrs. in Nov. It must be trees harden off later in the season in WA.
Of the temperate fruits, we get winter injury on blackberries and fall planted peach trees, but not much else.
Also interesting the article states Southwest injury is caused by sunshine de-hardening the trunk. I always heard it was caused by the freeze/thaw of water in the cambium. Wonder which it is?
Any comments on the validity of this statement "By the end of December, a tree is usually as cold tolerant as it is going to get. The tree can lose hardiness from this point but not gain it." ?
How about regaining hardiness lost after a short period of thaw?
I was in Wenatchee on Tuesday of last week where essentially Tim Smith gave the same talk for the "Apple Day" as he did for this talk on Thursday's (?) "Stone Fruit Day".....it was received with interest by the growers.
Tim Smith is very knowledgeable and I am glad that he told me last week he has no intention of retiring any time soon.
A few notes:
1. Keep in mind that Washington grows a lot of stone fruits.....I saw little of that when I was in Wisconsin and I rather doubt Kansas has that.....some of what Tim is talking about here is for stone fruit.
2. I personally have not seen that much winter damage to fruit trees either in eastern or Western washington....but I am quite sure it happens....ESPECIALLY in the outlying areas (like Methow valley) where the temperatures may really act like an Arctic freeze hit them.
3. Tim does not expect much damage to the apple trees this year in Washington, .....only to the very new cherry trees in selected areas. Keep in mind also that Tim was talking to Eastern Washington large fruit growers.....not to hobby growers with houses and homes who may have a much warmer micro-climate next to their house.
Different subjects:
4. I asked Tim if I could prune trees now if the temperature was below 32 degrees and he certainly thought so....if I can "stand" to be out there, so can the tree stand to be pruned, he said.
5. At this meeting last week in Wenatchee, there was a talk given about the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug....we do NOT have the problem here but we are watching what is happening to you on the East Coast and we believe it is only a matter of time before we do.
This winter has been much better than last winter for temperature fluctuations. Our worst day so far is 70/17 on the same day. Last winter we had many days like that and worse. There's a reason WA has a vibrant fruit industry while this part of the world has a few hardy home growers and small commercial operations. Their weather is vastly better than ours. It's just that WA can get a severe freeze once every 10-20 years. The economic impact is severe when that happens.
We've got the right temperatures, climate and source of water (the Colombia River) to make for the best redness, typiness and production....
Yesterday's Seattle Times article confirms that after struggling the past few years this past year has finally given fruit growers a much needed lift here....and if anything, Washington apples have increased their dominance.
But I stray too far from the topic.

Ideas for Xeriscape garden for a business
I have been drafted to replant the planter boxes at my job because everyone at work knows I like to garden. Thing is, I don't really know too much about xeriscaping, and that is the type of garden they want. Not anything overtly "desert looking", but something that can withstand the drought, and will also flourish when typical Houston humidity eventually returns.
I am working with planter boxes that are 3.5' tall, 3' wide and 20' long on each side of the door. They face directly west.
A few plants I am considering are yucca, bulbine, fernbush, plumbago, sedum stonecrop, and fountain grass (maybe the purple kind) but I have a lot of trouble putting together a balanced looking plan with interesting height variations and other design elements. Anyone have any ideas how to put these (or other suggestions, I am very open) together in these planters to make something that is dignified and attractive for a business?
Everyone often have a lot of trouble putting together a balanced looking plan with interesting height variations and other design elements.you need to post some pics,They are not too close up,a panoramic shot is good,that show the context and situated and conditions.
It will make a difference what the planter boxes are supposed to achieve and why they're there, so it would be helpful to either see a picture or get a better description of them and their purpose. Are the boxes paralleling the building or perpendicular to it? Are they serving as a location for what's commonly called "foundation planting" or are they flanking the entry walk. What's the layout like? Working with the commercial scale and keeping it low maintenance generally means keeping the design simple and bold. I don't know fernbush other than to know it's "western", but other plants you mention seem likely candidates except purple fountain grass. It can survive some dry conditions but in my experience does not look happy about it. Other grasses may perform better.
Of course the arrangement of the plantings will be contingent on the relationship to windows/views of and out from the building, and whether there is any shade. I'd suggest you consider using some more sculptural plants such as Agave bracteosa and Agave Sharkskin, Dasylirion longissima, Hesperaloe, and smaller growing plants such as Echeveria agavoides, Dyckias, Hechtias and contrasting softer flowering perennials such as Justicia brandegiana or some of the local perennials such as Ruellias and Oenotheras Tulbaghia violacea might be of interest along with Dalea greggii.
Well, as much as I appreciate all of your responses, it appears this is all moot. My boss has someone working in the planters today ... He told me he could tell I felt overwhelmed by the idea of managing the project so he went ahead and hired someone to do it!
This is okay with me, less work, less planning, for something I wasn't earning anything extra on anyway. But I appreciate that y'all were willing to help out!

I don't know what it is, but every time I plan to do blog posts, something happens. This time, I have a few beauty blog posts/videos that I really want to get done, but I unfortunately I came down with a cold. With the way I felt, I didn't want to get out of the bed or off the couch for the last week, let alone do a video! Today, I feel much better even though I still have some coughing going on. Instead of doing the beauty posts that I had planned, I decided to share with you my latest Louis Vuitton purchases. The video below shows the unboxing and gives information on the products that I purchased, but also gives you a chance to see my baby bump. If you just want to see a couple of pictures, keep scrolling down past the video!

I know its a little late for this video, but I wanted to post it anyway because it may give you some ideas on things you may want to pick up during the after Christmas sales. Plus, I personally love watching any type of home decor or house tour videos, so I figured I would add one to the mix. Please keep in mind that my house is still a work in progress so it may look a bit bare. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this little peek into my home!
Do you go all out for Christmas decorations or do you keep it simple like me?
Lancome Nude Miracle Foundation First Impression
In my most recent haul, I picked up a new foundation, Lancome Nude Miracle. This foundation is a Sephora exclusive (for now at least) that promises a weightless feel and bare-matte finish. It is one of the new liquid to powder foundations that it seems like all the brands are starting to come out with. If you would like to see how it looks and find out my initial thoughts, check out the video below!
For reference, my other foundation shades are as follows:
Make Up For Ever Face & Body: 12
Smashbox Studio Skin: 4.1
Diorskin Nude: 050
NARS Sheer Glow: Cadiz
YSL Youth Liberator: B70
Buxom Show Some Skin: Caramel Kisses
Guerlain Lingerie De Peau: 24
MAC Face & Body: N7
Have you tried any of the new liquid to powder foundations? How did they work for you?

Lemon Laws and Appliances
What rights do I have as a consumer? I have just called for the sixth repair on my Maytag washing machine in less than three years. The machine is four years old. Some of the replacement parts are now in need of repair.
Barb R.
Know Your State's Consumer Protection Laws
Consumer rights vary from state to state, but many have a "lemon" law. Check with your State Department of Consumer Protection to see what laws your state has and how to get help. They will investigate and help you solve the problem, but be aware that they can be very slow. You may have to "remind" them several times about follow-up. I did this when a plumber charged me for a repair I didn't need and didn't fix the real problem. It took a long time to get my money, but I did get it in the end.
Barbara in Wallingford, CT
Get Out Pen and Paper
I had a similar issue with my Frigidaire duel-fuel stove, a very expensive appliance. In less than four years, we had replaced the control panel three times and another very expensive part once. Not only that, but one of the cast-iron grates became badly chipped and another broke completely in half. When we asked the repair place to order us some replacements, they told us they are $100 each, so we decided to make do.
When the last repair had to be made, I was totally fed up. I wrote a very detailed and very polite letter to Frigidaire customer service. I listed the dates and everything that had gone wrong. I also sent a copy of this letter to the CEO of U.S. business for the company.
A week later, I got a call from Frigidaire (in response to the letter to the president, not to customer service). They reimbursed me for the last two repairs (more than $220) and also sent me a new grate to replace the broken one.
Write a polite and detailed letter. Phone calls and faxes are not as effective. Copy the letter to an executive. Make sure you close the letter by saying you want the opportunity to discuss the issue with the company. Writing a letter takes more time and you also have to spend some time online figuring out the people to send it to. But a couple hours of my time really paid off.
Catherine in Minneapolis
Review Your Service Contract or Warranty Info
Go to Maytag.com and contact customer service with documentation of the purchase and all the repairs. Ask them for remediation. Be specific as to what you. Many times, parts are guaranteed, not just the appliance itself.
If you have a service contract (usually purchased separately at the time of sale), read it or the warranty information carefully. Some state that if an appliance has to be repaired more than a certain number of times in a certain number of months/years, it is considered defective and they will replace or repair it at no further charge.
Interestingly enough, we have been through multiple repairs on a Maytag washer and now a dishwasher to the point where we will not purchase that name brand again. It's too bad as it used to be a top of the line company.

I had one once. I found it hard to keep clean. PBW does a great job but without being able to see inside, it bugged me. Other than that, it fermented just fine as long as the spinny tops were on tight. I think mine held something crazy like 17 gallons or something.
Sent from Cheese Doodle Land.
here's another alternative. i been using these for years. the top comes off for easy cleaning. be sure to check his other listigns as there are better deals to be had.http://www.ebay.com/itm/PLASTIC-BARR...item35d4934d1b
I've got 4 of these waiting to be used. I picked them up locally, they contained juice previously. I have a few different ideas on how I'm going to use them, just need to dial in my new bigger brew system first.
I know pacs and cubes are always a bit bigger then listed...but 17? Wow, I might need to upgrade to a 20 gal kettle lol

Peonies from seed?
cherie_zone5April 23, 2010
Is it possible to get volunteer peonies?Ihave about 13 small plants that look a lot like peony.They are on a small berm that I didn't pay a lot of attention to last year, didn't dead head or cultivate around the existing peonies. Have a couple tree peonies planted there as well as two herbaceous.
morz8(Washington Coast Z8b)
Both types can self sow in the right conditions if not deadheaded - I leave the seed pods on my tree peony for additional interest and often get volunteer seedlings around it. If you want to keep the seedlings, be patient - it can take a few years before they begin to flower.

Last year's chemical spill into the Elk River in West Virginia, coal ash spill in the Dan River near Danville, and train derailment into the James River in Lynchburg prove that accidents happen. The risks posed by toxics jeopardize the quality of our water sources and our health.
Two pending bills, SB 771 and 1071, would make it easier to identify hazardous waste sites in Virginia and strengthen state's ability to protect your water and other valuable resources.
- SB 771 establishes a list of non-federally managed toxic waste sites and makes it easier to respond to any contamination of groundwater or drinking water that may occur.
- SB 1071 raises the civil penalty the DEQ can issues for environmental violations from $10,000 to $25,000. Virginia's current cap pales in comparison to other states such as North Carolina, which can impose an administrative penalty of $15,000 to $32,500 per day depending on the violation.
Take Action!
Send a message to your state Senator and Delegate them to "Protect our Water" from toxic pollution!

"Not one of Clark's greatest, but interesting"
The story is very much a morality tale on what happens when Man ceases to look out into the universe, ceases to grow & ceases to advance; stagnation, mechanisation and a slide into decadence. It's a theme of many of Clark's books but this one doesn't quite hit the mark. The inhabitants of the city (of the title) have immortality, freedom from all phyiscal needs and the elimination of crime, disease & all social ills. This lack of strife eliminates all desires for expansion but also eliminates everything you can hang a story off!
The obvious comparision is "Childhood's End" which deals with the end of Man in a much better and more interesting way.
It could have been a performance. There's no emotional content and the variation between characters was attempted by varying the squeekiness of the reader's voice in subtle shades.
The book describes one man's struggle to break Man out of the decandent Nirvana he has trapped himself in. To prevent spoiling the plot, any follow up book could only be his continuing struggle to break Man out or Man's attempt to break back in! The book is a message not a story & having delivered the message, it's done where it is.
"The Life Story of an Unexpected Celebrety"
It's a brave and clearly written story that doesn't hide from the tricky parts of her life. It's also nicely positioned in that while she achieved fame as Sarah Jane Smith, to her it was just a role in a TV series that formed part of her career.
The description of her first filming on Doctor Who, before she'd been publicly announced as Katy Manning's replacement.
The description of David Tennant as the new Doctor Who, being utterly star struck on his first day of filming with "Sarah Jane Smith".
Sometimes Dreams Find You
"One of Clark's better stand alone stories"
This book is a marvellous mix of Clark's perfectly plausible technology (no warp cores, no transporters or ray guns) and a well executed story with fully fleshed out characters. Even if you were to take away the science it would still be a good story with the arc (and final tragedy) able to move you.

Hey everyone, check out this cool info-graphic. Beer History Time-Line
That is epic win.
Very cool. I love those graphic histories.
The chart says the Reinheitsgebot was signed in 1514...that's wrong. It was 1516.
Much like Homer Simpson, I long for the day I can pull up to the pump and simultaneously fill up the car and fill up a pint for myself.
There is so much that is factually inaccurate on that timeline. If they would have gotten it right and made ****ty ad campaigns less important in the last 30 years, it might have been good.
Google Chrome is telling me there is malware on that site.
Same here on the malware.
No entry for Fritz Maytag or anything about the craft beer movement or homebrewing.
Just like in grade school, history ended after WWII.

Brighton city centre sparkles spectacularly as this year's Christmas lights are turned on.
Large festive crowds gathered in East Street to see the traditional ceremony, hosted by Juice FM's Foxy and Dan Gasser.
Spectators at the event last night (November 15) were treated to a Latin flavoured evening with the Silver Sounds Samba Band, the Ole Ole Flamenco Dancers, the Juicy Dance Crew and Brighton Theatre Workshop Youth Voice Choir.
Santa Claus even took time out from his busy Christmas schedule to appear onstage with his trusted elves.
The lights were paid for by the businesses of Brilliant Brighton and feature new, super-bright LED bulbs.
The evening was in support of the Rockinghorse Appeal and The Argus Appeal.
