Orange and blue plants for afternoon sun garden?
Hi, everyone! I'm new to gardening and new to the forum, so I thought I'd start here. I'm in zone 6 and would like to establish a garden in the front yard of my home. Ideally, I'd really love to do an orange and blue color scheme. However, the area I plan to put the garden in gets only afternoon sun, from about 2:00 PM until the sun sets. Right now, the only stuff growing there are 5x7 foot evergreen hedges (yew, I believe) and some grubby, yellow grass. The hedges are coming out ASAP, so there won't be any competition or shade from them.
I'm not sure which plants to look for that will do well in afternoon sun-only conditions, especially orange and blue ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I grow both Clustered Bellflower and Jacobs Ladder in afternoon sun, both do very well for me. The JL is a nice 'true blue' and I also like the foliage. Since it only flowers early to mid June here, the nice foliage helps. The Clustered Bellflower is a deeper blue here in my clay soil. In my other garden, in good loam, (before we moved) it was sky blue. I really don't have too many orange flowers except for wallflower. It is beside the JL and it seems to like it there. I also have some poppies that are orangs/scarlet in colour and they do well in afternoon sun.
I have some orange Trollius growing on my west side that only get afternoon sun. They are very pretty and have an interesting flower. They bloom quite a long time.
I searched Google Image for orange Trollius (there are also yellow ones)and came up with nice pictures. I am not sure how to show them to you. Here is the result of a right click copy image location.
None of those pictures are mine, just some from a Google search.
How about orange daylilies, deciduous azalea "Gibralter",
coneflowers, peach or orange hollyhocks. For blues, balloon flower, "Johnson Blue" geranium, clematis "Jacquemontii". Add in some bluish purples like Brazilian verbena, and dark foliage like cimicifuga (bugbane), and orange foliage like Spirea "Magic Carpet".
There are some nice bluish grasses as well. Have fun, ask at nurseries.
Black and Blue Salvia adds a lot of interest to the garden ... disease and pest resistant and a very easy keeper. It is an annual in my area, but I think it might be a perennial in a zone 6. For orange flowers, maybe a honeysuckle vine on a fun arbor, windmill or similar structure.
Agapanthus campanulata and its hybrids are definitely worth a try in Zone 6. Mine do spectacularly well and have the most beautiful blue flowers in July. They are a lot smaller than the type that is hardy only in California type climates, but otherwise look the same. The only special winter care I give them is to cut down the foliage in the fall, throw a thick piece of styrofoam board about 18" square over the top of each clump, and then mulch with about 8 to 12 inches of leaves. Remove in late April and they pop right up.

Accountability is a mustNovember 02,2013Yesterday, Governor Shumlin finally did the right thing.
He delayed until March of next year the requirement that Vermonters buy insurance from a fatally flawed health care exchange.
But what is inescapable is the fact that this 11th hour action did not have to happen.
Independent auditors and evaluators have been warning the Shumlin administration for months about the disaster that was pending. But despite the repeated warnings, the administration continued, falsely, to tell Vermonters that everything was on track.
The administrations current spin is that any criticism of its decisions should be ignored because it comes from those opposed to heath care reform. But this is not the case.
Simply stated, this is a story of poor management, lack of transparency, the award and expansion of multi-million-dollar no-bid contracts, and the application of political spin to avoid embarrassment.
It is a story of incompetence and hubris.
We are talking about real money. More than $170 million is committed to the exchange and over $370 million to health care reform.
Who will be held accountable? The administrations spin is that this is no big deal because it is federal money, not Vermonters. But we are all Americans, and it is our money. Someone is responsible.
Vermonters need an independent investigation by an impartial body. We need to find out what happened and who should be held accountable. And we need to recover the millions of dollars that the contractors performance failures have cost taxpayers.
We need a truly bipartisan blue ribbon commission, reporting to the public, the General Assembly and the governor, about what went wrong and how to fix it. We cannot trust an administration that got us into this mess to tell us honestly what went wrong and how to fix it.

Drapery interlining--Bump or flannel?
charley526January 26, 2011
Hello! This is my first post on the sewing forum; I'm so glad I found it!
I need to interline my drapes with something that has great thermal properties. (drafty windows!) In your experience, is bump cloth significantly better than flannel? Is there something else I should consider? Thanks!
Kind Regards,

The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
Great contrast and a market-busting price, along with a software update that largely fixes its video processing woes, help make the Vizio P series the best 4K value available today.
Excellent picture quality, well thought-out features and distinctive design make the Vizio M-Series seem like a much more expensive TV than it really is.
Lenovo's new, smaller slate will last you through an 8-hour workday, the company claims. Read on for all the details.

Lenovo's new slate hopes you'll be tempted by its big screen and sound wizardry. Read on for everything you need to know.
Pricing not available
While its sealed-case limitations will turn off power users, Apple's least expensive Mac delivers a solid OS X experience in a compact box with similar performance to the entry-level MacBook Air and iMac models.
Not everybody will love the fit of Master and Dynamic's over-the-ear MH40 headphones, but they are very well-built and sound excellent.
The combination of the Pill XL's strong sound, excellent design and feature set make it a reasonable value despite its elevated price tag.
Very, very incremental updates from the X-A1 include a flip-up display.

Love These lights
Terry from Pepperell, MA – Verified Buyer
These lights make my kitchen look like a cooking show on the Food Network! I feel like a Chef even if I'm just making toast. I used halogen indoor flood light bulbs which are a little pricey but the low cost of the fixture made it worthwhile. Easy install for my existing track and installing the bulb was even easier. Going to get more for the living room.

Seed Starting 101: A Step-By-Step Visual Guide To Growing Seedlings At Home
Here's how I start my seeds, step-by-step and in pictures. The eagle-eyed among you may notice that I show pictures of both 4″ pots and small muli-cell containers. The process is the same no matter what size pot you are using or, indeed, if you are not using any pots at all, but instead use repurposed yogurt containers, old cans or fancy soil blocks. The seedling-holding vessel doesn't matter, I just had to work with the pictures I had.
Begin by assembling your tools. You will need clean seed starting pots. I like to hose my pots out and give them a quick dip in a bleach bath in late winter to prepare them for their upcoming season of use. [Read more…]
Seed Starting 101: Key Components For Healthy Seedlings
Seeds don't ask much: give them some moisture and the right temperature and if they are viable they will germinate. They don't even need soil, as any kid who's sprouted green beans between a few layers of paper towel can tell you.
It's getting a germinated seed to grow into a strong, sturdy plant that takes a little care. To do that you need to start with a quality seed and give it the best possible start in life by providing strong light, loose soil, adequate moisture, adequate nutrition and good ventilation. Let's take a look at each of these components in turn. [Read more…]

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
12 Jun 2013 10:28 GMT | Science & Technology, Politics, US & Canada, United States
Edward Snowden's revelations about the US National Security agency's Internet and telephone monitoring programme have provoked debate at home and abroad.
Supporters of surveillance argue law abiding citizens have nothing to worry about and that surveillance programmes help ensure public safety and stop terrorism.
"The idea is that if you can identify the origin and destination of a communication you would be more secure .... Our founders ... who worked on this project applied it to the Internet and we ended up with software that you could use to go to privacy but also circumvente censorship" Karen Reilly, research director for the Tor Project told Al Jazeera.
Just living your life and maybe having some people who are controversial … you can be brought in a zone of suspicion. And of course, when examined in detail not all of us is perfect.
Peter Swire, a law professor at Ohio State University and chief counsellor for privacy in the Clinton administration
Much of the US establishment, both democrat and republican has closed ranks. Speaker of the House, John Boehner, labelled Snowden a traitor, but his supporters argue that he has made a huge sacrifice and performed a valuable public service.
It seems the American public is divided on the issue with a poll published on Monday suggesting a small majority believe phone tracking is acceptable, though a majority said the government should not be able to monitor Internet usage.
Those wanting to avoid having their data scrutinised by the authorities do have options but they will have to eschew companies like Google and use software from groups who can protect anonymity and encrypt data.
A new poll released by the Pew Research Centre on Monday shows that a majority of Americans, 56 percent, say that National Security Agency's use of secret court orders to track telephone call records of millions of Americans is acceptable whereas, 41 percent found this unacceptable.
Sixty-two percent of Americans say it is more important for the government to be able to investigate terrorist threats ... even if it intrudes on people's privacy, but 34 percent say personal privacy is more important.
It is less clear cut when it comes to Internet usage as 45 percent believed the government should be able to monitor everyone's email and online activities with a majority at 52 percent saying Internet surveillance is wrong.
So, is it acceptable to let the US government access private data or should this be stopped?
Inside Story Americas, with presenter Shihab Rattansi, discusses with guests: Peter Swire, a law professor at Ohio State University and chief counsellor for privacy in the Clinton administration; Julian Sanchez, a researcher on privacy and technology at the Cato Institute; and Karen Reilly, the research director for the Tor Project which provides software that allows users to access the Internet anonymously.
"It is not really clear what is happening ... but we know they have a kind of backdoor access at the Internet provider level .... Analysts can later decide what specific accounts, email addresses, phone numbers and other selectors they want to gather data on ... It is not really clear how much of a check at the ISP level they are reviewing."
Julian Sanchez, a researcher on privacy and technology at the Cato Institute.

Sonos S5 unboxing gallery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment
After reporting on the existence of the Sonos S5, we were immediately excited to get our hands on a unit to see how it stacked up against the rest of the lineup. If you've followed us for any length of time, you know that we at Gear Live are huge Sonos fans, so it makes sense that our unit arrived as soon as they were available, and we had it set up within minutes. Literally.
The S5 is the easiest way to get up and running with Sonos. We had it unboxed, plugged in, and playing music in under five minutes, controlling it with an iPhone. The price is right too, something we've previously criticized Sonos about. The entry level into Sonos used to be $999, but with the S5 that drops down to $399. Put this one on your Christmas list, folks. We've snapped a bunch of images of the S5, which you can find in our Sonos S5 unboxing gallery.

That's right, y'all. It's Zune HD day, and Microsoft's newest portable PMP is ready to make its debut.

{embed="unboxing:inc/gallery_strip" category_id="147"}
We will of course have a Zune HD review coming for you as well, but since Microsoft opted to give us review units that wouldn't work until the Zune 4.0 software update was available, that'll have to wait a bit. We don't wanna go singing the praises of (or totally trashing) a device until we've had some legitimate time to play with it while fully functional, thank you very much. But hey, if you like the pictures, then be sure to also check out our Zune HD size comparison gallery as well.

Zune 120 unboxing gallery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Galleries, Microsoft, Portable Audio, Portable Video
Alongside the news that the Zune 3.0 software has launched, Microsoft has also released a couple of new Zunes. Here, we are focusing specifically on the new Zune 120. Changes from last year's Zune 80 are minimal, with everything being completely cosmetic in nature. As you will see, the Zune 120 features a glossy black front, as opposed to last year's matte black, and the back of the Zune 120 is black, while the Zune 80 had a metallic aluminum finish. If you wanna get technical, then I should also point out that the Wi-Fi antenna is also now black, and the writing and etching on the back of the Zune 120 is white. Of course, we've got a full Zune 120 unboxing gallery for you to enjoy, so go check it out.

""Where to next..."" steph_york's Profile
I grew up in Littleton, Colorado and finally escaped at the tender age of 17 as an exchange studnt to France. I attended college in New York City and discovered after graduation that the world of ballet wasn't for me (after 17 years of ballet training).
So what's a former ballerina to do? Travel, of course!
After 6 years in the City, I moved to Sitka Alaska and where I spent 3 summers and 1 winter (with 1 winter in Vieques, Puerto Rico in there). Now I am doing Peace Corps and can't wait to find out where my next place will be.
So far so good...
I am 1 year into my Peace Corps service and, despite the ups and downs, I am learning and working and actually enjoying it.
I am living in Bairam aly, the second largest city in Mary welayat. I live 2 minutes from ancient Merv and go camping out there regularly. It's fantastic.

These benign yet painful sores often have no identifiable cause, but they tend to pop up when you're stressed. To ease the annoying ache, dab a topical pain reliever such as Anbesol or Orajel directly on the spot.

Hatton Fields in Carmel will have an occasional home under $1 million, but with the market improving, they will be rare. They will certainly be a fixer, but you will have good upside potential.
The best neighborhood in Carmel to find a home under $1 million is the Mission Fields neighborhood. This tends to be the most affordable neighborhood in Carmel and is a great central location. The issue here is inventory. There is rarely anything available to buy in Mission Fields.

The study, "U.S. Digital Marketing Spending, 2013," was based on an online survey of more than 250 U.S. marketers, conducted in November and December. The survey encompassed six industries: financial services, healthcare, high-tech, manufacturing, media and retail. According to the study, marketers spent an average 10.4% of their 2012 revenue overall on marketing activities, including salaries, advertising, research and software. Twenty-eight percent of marketers said they have reduced their traditional advertising budgets to fund digital marketing activities. Corporate website and digital advertising tied for the top digital marketing activity for marketing's success, while social marketing was the next most-important activity cited by respondents.

DEM: Mosquitoes Are Out in Full Force This Weekend
If you're going outdoors this weekend, as many of us will, you'll want to protect yourself against mosquito bites. The state Department of Environmental Management is reporting the largest crop of mosquitos in at least 21 years.
The reason: heavy rains last month. The warm, dry air mass that's with us now is slowly killing the mosquito population, but the DEM's Alan Gettman said they'll be bad this weekend, particularly at fireworks shows.
"I think people should be prepared for noticeable mosquito biting in the evenings. Have repellant handy and have the long sleeves, shirt handy; the long pants handy," said Gettman. "Those are the common sense things people will be thinking of doing in the next few days."
Rhode Island traps mosquitos at 32 sites and checks them weekly. So far all tests have been negative for Eastern Equine Encephalitis and West Nile virus. But Massachusetts has had one confirmed case of West Nile virus.
Do you have insight or expertise on this topic? Please email us, we'd like to hear from you. firstname.lastname@example.com

The Retreat, an East End nonprofit serving victims of domestic violence, is receiving $75,250 in funding through the Federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced October 29. (more…)
Real estate sales continue to lag despite the appearance of market recoveries on both the North and South forks, but Shelter Island may still be the hidden jewel in the East End's crown for some house hunters.
There are, however, finally signs that this year's property sales could, by the end of 2014, surpass last year's numbers on the island. Community Preservation Funds — a 2 percent fee buyers pay to acquire property on Shelter Island — still lag behind 2013 revenue. But there has been significant movement in the past two months. (more…)

While many are turning their attention to completing Christmas shopping in time, there's another December deadline that looms that has the potential to affect many Riverhead homeowners.
A new law requires homeowners re-register for the Basic School Tax Relief exemption by December 31.
Of the town's eligible residents, 79 percent have re-registered, according to state statistics. But 1,401 homes have yet to apply, the records show.
The easiest way to re-register for a Basic STAR exemption is to file on the Tax Department's website.
You will need your STAR code to re-register (check your mail from weeks back). If you don't have the code, you can get it online or by calling the Tax Department at 518-457-2036. You may also call that number to re-register if you prefer not to do so online.
In re-registering, you should have Social Security numbers available for all owners and spouse
The state Department of Taxation and Finance won't be notifying local assessors about those who have failed to re-register until February 2014, meaning it will be too late to get the exemption for next year.
The reason for the re-filings is a new state law aimed at eliminating fraud, state officials have said. Whether purposely or accidentally, people throughout New York who own multiple homes had registered for multiple STAR exemptions.
But that's not allowed under the law. A homeowner has to prove primary residence by such documents as vehicle and voter registrations, and it's up to the local assessor to make a judgment on eligibility.
To be eligible for the Basic STAR exemption, a household must have earned $500,000 or less.
There is no age requirement.
If you have never filed for a STAR exemption and believe you are eligible, you won't be affected by the re-registration process, but you will need to file a Form RP-425, also available online.
Those 65 or older who receive Enhanced STAR exemptions aren't required to re-register. Their eligibility is based on age and an annual income of $81,900 or less.
Throughout Long Island, there are 31 percent, or 175,092, who have failed to file, state officials said.
No one is declaring victory just yet, but the man-versus-nature war on what has come to be known as the mile-a-minute vine has been joined. The invasive vine has a predator, experts have found, and it comes in the form of the stem-boring black weevil.
Although he's taking a cautiously optimistic approach, Cornell Cooperative Extension scientist Dr. Andy Senesac says there's reason to hope that over the course of several years, the plant could be eradicated
"We're encouraged, but we can't be throwing any parades as far as success," he said.
For the past two years, CCE scientists have been running test programs using the weevil on the North and South forks. The protocol for releasing the weevil was developed by a professor at the University of Delaware and the weevils are being distributed without cost by the Phillip Alampi Beneficial Insects Laboratory in Trenton, N.J., where they are being raised.
While the weevils may not be as prolific as their prey, early tests are promising that the insects will steadily eat away the invasive species and eventually wipe it out without damaging other plants that grow alongside it.
The hope is that as mile-a-minute dies off, the weevils themselves will also die off, Dr. Senesac said.
Persicaria perfoliata, as mile-a-minute is properly know, grows up to six inches a day when conditions are right. Also known as "the kudzu of the north," it easily overmatches native species. It blocks other plants from sunlight, stopping their ability to photosynthesize, which will eventually kill them. Mile-a-minute devastates the natural ecology on a wide scale, stopping the regeneration of forests and woods and doing damage to a community's economy.
And being an annual, with a generous amount of seeds, it's a recurring nightmare for homeowners, gardeners and farmers.
"If you look around now, you might think, 'Oh, it all died. But it's not over; it will be back the next year," said Roxanne Zimmer of Peconic, a volunteer at Cornell. "Because it's an annual, all those beautiful blue berries will seed and reseed. And, of course, the birds and insects will carry it around as well. It doesn't really poke its head up until June or July. And July is when you start to notice it again."
Ms. Zimmer said the vine has a unique feature that she described as a "curved barb that allows it to grab."
"That's what makes it so vicious," Ms. Zimmer said. "It can hook onto a limb or tree and then the next barb will hook on and then it just continues to grow up and out."
According to research compiled by the University of Delaware, mile-a-minute is an Asian vine introduced to the United States in the mid-1930s at a nursery in Pennsylvania, where it was mixed with holly seeds imported from Japan. Deceptively beautiful, not only for its vibrant green color, its leaves are delicate triangles, almost heart-shaped, and its berries, when ripe, are bluish-purple. The vine has now made its home in 12 mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states, extending west to Ohio, south to the Carolinas and north to Massachusetts.
But designing and managing programs to put the weevil to work is no easy process, Dr. Senesac said.
For the dozen states experimenting with weevils, there's a two-step approval process. It starts with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Once a permit is received from APHIS, those in New York have to apply to the state Department of Environmental Conservation for a permit to deploy the weevils. The entire process takes about six months, Dr. Senesac said.
He generally begins the application process in October with the aim of deploying the tiny critters, which are twice the size of the head of a pin, in test areas in late April or May.
In the two years that test programs have been operated, there's a positive indication that the weevils move beyond the point where they are originally deployed. There has also been some evidence of weevils arriving on Long Island on their own from other locations, Dr. Senesac said.
He cautioned that people whose property is overrun with mile-a-minute not pull it out at the roots at this time of year. It will die out during the winter, and early next spring would be the best time for property owners to destroy new plants, pulling them out at their roots, before they're able to take hold.
Cornell Cooperative Extension has plans to get information to residents in early spring about how to identify the weed.
Dan Fokine, a volunteer organizer for Shelter Island Vine Busters, an awareness group, said mile-a-minute is relatively new to that island and the East End. He first saw it a couple of years ago.
"Once it hit the ground it really took off," Mr. Fokine said.
If a neighbor has mile-a-minute, that neighbor should be approached about removing it, he advised.
He compared rooting out the vine with fighting terrorism. "You have to take the fight to it," he said, "You just can't fight them on your own turf."
With Michael White
The Peconic Bay Power Squadron will present "America's Boating Course" on Wednesday, May 8, at 6 p.m. at the Riverhead Moose Lodge.
The course is among those available to comply with the new Suffolk County boater education law requiring that by October, all county residents who operate a boat in waters here carry evidence they have completed an approved boating safety course. Similar legislation is expected to be adopted by the New York State Legislature, according to a press release from the Power Squadron.
The course is also approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, the United States Coast Guard and New York State.
There are three sessions as the program continues on May 15 and 22 and will cover boating law, safety equipment, safe boating practices, navigation, boating emergencies, personal watercraft, charts, use of GPS devices, trailering and other significant issues for boaters.
Attendees will receive a 244 page America's Boating Course manual, a companion CD and after passing an exam, a certificate of completion. Many insurance companies offer discounts to boaters who earn these certificates.
There's a $60 fee that covers the cost of the manual and CD. To register, call Fred Smith at 631-298-1930 or visit www.PBPS.us.
Life could get just a little easier for East End commercial fishermen if a bill Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-C-Port Jefferson) ushered through the New York State Senate has the same support in the Assembly.
The bill that passed the Senate with only a single negative vote would allow commercial fishermen to aggregate their daily catch limits over a seven-day period. A fisherman could, for example, catch three times his daily quota on Monday and two times the limit on Wednesday and then stay off the water until the following Monday, thereby conserving fuel. The bill that passed the Senate would also allow individuals, each of whom had a fishing license, to go out together in the same boat with each able to take a daily or aggregate limit.
"Fuel for running a fishing boat is extremely costly," Mr. LaValle said, noting that it "significantly cuts into the already slim profits" fishermen get.
Assemblyman Fred Thiele Jr. (I-Sag Harbor), who is shepherding the bill through the Assembly, said he and Mr. LaValle drafted the bill together in consultation with local fishermen.
While the Assembly is focused on getting a budget passed by the April 1 deadline, Mr. Thiele said as soon as that's accomplished, the fishing bill would move ahead.
"It's a bill that is high on my list," Mr. Thiele said.
Assuming the Assembly gives the legislation the go-ahead, it would go to Governor Andrew Cuomo for his signature.
While he's not officially pulling the plug on the Peconic Bay Water Jitney, partner Geoff Lynch told Times/Review Newsgroup Thursday it would take a "multi-million dollar" infusion of money for the Greenport-Sag Harbor water taxi service to sail again this summer.
Mr. Lynch, who confirmed an earlier report this week after he spoke at the Sag Harbor Village Board, is president of Hampton Jitney, which partnered with Mattituck businessman Jim Ryan in a pilot program last summer. Hampton Jitney can't put up the money it would take to keep the enterprise afloat, Mr. Lynch said.
"We can't do it alone," he added.
There were no expectations the business would make money on the initial season, Mr. Lynch said, but there were higher expectations on numbers of passengers taking the excursions around Shelter Island to both forks.
At the end of the season Mr. Lynch told the East End Transportation Council — a group of representatives from the five eastern towns exploring transportation services — the water taxi carried about 15,000 passengers since it launched in June 2012. Those who used the service praised it, Mr. Lynch said.
"We had nothing but positive feedback," he said.
He said he hopes that at some point there will be water-borne service on Peconic Bay such as the water taxi offered, but held out little hope for the 2013 season.
He is expected to carry the same message he gave to the Sag Harbor Village Board last week to Greenport at that Village Board work session on Tuesday, January 22, or the regular meeting on Monday, January 28.

It seems as though Pleasant Grove will not be releasing its new album, Auscultation of the Heart on Summer Break Records. While we didn't make that up when we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, it doesn't make it true. The boys are still deciding what to do, but we're sure you can get your hands on a copy fairly soon. Hopefully, we're not wrong about that either.

A must if you are interested in archeology in Pre-Columbus America, especially sites of apparent development for trade and resources along waterways of the great lakes areas and waterways leading to the Gulf of Mexico. There has been an effort in the the archeological community to make us think/believe that we have been an undiscovered and untouched part of the planet earth. This book raises a number of interesting questions which need answering and some effort of serious investigation instead of outright dismissal based on the theory of "coincidence". (I reference the high grade copper ore of artifacts found in Europe. Did this ore come from the great lakes area of North America? The author also gives the reader the resources for his own investigative research). Apparently this over site is due or appears to be, the archeological community itself in denial, making the decision that it cannot have happened so it did not happen.
