Hot on the heels of DC Comics icon "The Flash's" small-screen success on The CW, Warner Bros. has confirmed that a standalone "Flash" movie is coming in 2018. The film will be unaffiliated with The CW series and will feature a new actor in the role: Ezra Miller.
During the Time Warner earnings meeting Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara announced "The Flash" would bow in 2018.
No writer or director are attached at this time. Bewkes also announced that a movie focused on DC Comics' Aquaman will bow in 2018 with Jason Momoa set to star.
"The Flash" story revolves around Barry Allen, a scientist who awakes from a coma and is gifted with the power of super speed. Allen is a part of the Justice League and it is expected that Miller will have some sort of cameo in the upcoming pic "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" where that team is likely to be unveiled.
Warner Bros. also announced several other films scheduled to bow in the next several years including a "Wonder Woman" movie slated for 2017 and "Justice League: Part 2″ in 2019.
Grant Gustin stars as the Scarlet Speedster in the recently-launched CW "Flash" series, which set ratings records for the network in last week's debut.
Miller was most recently seen in "Madame Bovary." He is repped by Paradigm.
Director Sophie Barthes' Madame Bovary has landed a U.S. home with the newly reorganized Millennium Entertainment.
Starring Mia Wasikowska, the movie made its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival and will play at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 10. Madame Bovary, which has drawn mixed reviews, also stars Paul Giamatti, Rhys Ifans and Ezra Miller.
Felipe Marino adapted the screenplay from Gustave Flaubert's classic novel of the same name with Barthes.
Wasikowska plays Emma Bovary, a young, beautiful woman from northern France who marries the town doctor in order to escape a life of swine farming. But she soon grows tired of her husband and enters into a series of ill-fated love affairs.
WME helped secure financing for the film and represents U.S. rights, while Radiant Films International is handling foreign sales.
The deal for Madame Bovary comes days after the management team of Millennium Entertainment, led by Bill Lee, and private investment firm Virgo Investment Group bought out the stake owned by Avi Lerner's NuImage/Millennium Entertainment. Millennium Entertainment will be renamed in the coming weeks.
Marino and Joe Neurauter produced Madame Bovary in association with Barthes via her Aden Film banner and Aleph Motion Picture's Jaime Mateus-Tique.
I have added screencaptures, posters and stills of Ezra from City Island to the gallery. A thank you goes out to the lovely Kaci from Hugh Dancy Fan for the captures.

After more than a decade in development, a movie about the infamous "Stanford Prison Experiment" is finally moving forward with Billy Crudup, Ezra Miller and Michael Angarano set to star and "C.O.G." filmmaker Kyle Patrick Alvarez ("C.O.G.") directing, TheWrap has learned.
Sandbar Pictures and Abandon Features are financing the indie project, which Brent Emery and Lizzie Friedman are producing with Greg Little, Lauren Bratman and "The Hurt Locker" star Brian Geraghty.
The film is based on the landmark experiment conducted at Stanford University in the summer of 1971, in which randomly-chosen 19 and 20-year-old students were divided into camps of either prison guards or prisoners. The experiment was meant to last two weeks, but it was cut short due to the level of cruelty and sadism that erupted among the participants.
he story is particularly topical, as many Twitter users have drawn parallels between the Stanford Prison Experiment and what's currently going on in Ferguson, Missouri, where police have been accused of abusing their power.
Hollywood has been trying to tell the Stanford Prison Experiment story since the 1970s, when its creator, Dr. Philip Zimbardo, began hearing pitches from movie producers soon after he testified in front of Congress about his findings.
Many different variations have been developed since, but none ever made it before cameras until now. Production finally starts Tuesday with Crudup playing Zimbardo, who's still called to testify about incidents that involve alleged abuses of power, such as Abu Ghraib.
Elle Fanning will play the titular character in Branded Pictures Entertainment's upcoming MARY SHELLEY. The biopic follows the teenage "Frankenstein" author through the tragic events of her early life (Shelley lost her three eldest children and her husband at a young age), and explores the parallels between her life and her famous novel. Hailee Steinfeld was previously attached to star. "Mary Shelley" also has a new director; "Skeleton Key" director Iain Softley is replacing Paul Andrew Williams at the helm. Ezra Miller will play Mary's husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Jack Huston has been cast as Frankenstein's monster.
Thanks to Butterfly, I have added a scan of Ezra from the September 2009 issue of Dazed and Confused to our gallery.

What variety of rhubarb is best?
mommapea(Z6 southwest PA)June 19, 2008
At our previous house, we were given some rhubarb to plant which was wonderful. When we moved to our new house, we didn't have any so I picked some up at a local store (can't remember if it was Wal-Mart, Lowes, or whatever). Anyway, it's really not that great. It bolts to seed early and the stalks get very thin and pithy. I didn't think it mattered much, but perhaps it does. Can anyone recommend a good variety of rhubarb to grow. I want to dig up what's there and throw it away and plant something descent!

Mid-Hudson police officials say more restrictive gun, ammo laws won't solve problem - The current debate about gun control is emotional, both locally and nationwide, but some area law-enforcement personnel say laws already in place are adequate. They argue that law-abiding citizens are not the problem and that a person who wants to commit a crime will find a way to do so regardless of laws.

Financial Representative InterviewApplication Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at New York Life in July 2014.Interview Details
Was first reached out to by email by managing partners assistant. Went in for a total of 6 interviews. None of the interviews were particularly difficult or probing, just making sure that my personality would be fitting for a sales like position. Dance around the fact that it is a fully commission based sales job, instead stressing that it is a "performance based pay financial representative position." Final interview is all about the pay structure, no questions related to finance whatsoever.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at New York Life in July 2014.Interview Details
First interview was meeting with the recruiter- straight forward, laid back, more of a rundown of the company and answering any questions that I may have, inviting me back to meet with a senior partner. Second interview was with a partner- still relatively simple, didn't ask any technical questions, gave his rundown on the company, asked me a few questions, answered any questions I had. Third interview was fully a rundown of the company, presentations on pay structure, benefits, etc. more of them selling the company to you. Fourth and final interview was back again with the partner to finalize the entire process and to assure the two of you would work well together.Interview Questions

Cv Police Station Zombie Defence (Sm Brick)
Item No.1710104057
It started out as a relatively quiet day at the CityVille Police Station. Deputy Strong and his team had successfully cracked down on a couple troublemakers. Nothing so dangerous that the wife and kids at home would have to worry, but not so smooth that you didn't feel you deserved a nice jelly-filled from the daily donut drop when all was said and done. When they picked up a high-school teenager drooling outside the advanced organic chemistry class, Deputy Strong and Chief Zito thought it was just another case of a kid clownin' around on school time. Turns out the kid was infected with a zombie virus created by the evil Dr. Mayhem as part of his plan to take over the city! After snacking on his cellmate and chomping on the Chief, the kid had turned two more citizens into zombies - and that's when the rampage began. Now the zombies are on the loose and on the attack. Dr. Mayhem's evil plan is working. You have to defend your city from invasion.

North Vietnam's capture of Saigon during the tumultuous days of April 1975 is a pivotal moment in Asia's post-colonial history, but the story of what happened next is relatively little-known, both in and outside the country. Huy Duc, a veteran Vietnamese journalist, is aiming to shed new light on the reunification of Vietnam and its aftermath in a new book called "The Winning Side."
For the past three years, he has worked on bringing reunification-era Vietnam to life through in-depth interviews with witnesses, including people who went on to become key post-war leaders in Vietnam and shapers of what is now one Asia's most promising emerging economies. Read More »

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, meeting with Vietnamese officials in Hanoi on Monday, announced that Vietnam would open up three more sites to American recovery teams. U.S. officials said they hope access to those new sites will allow them a chance to find remains of four different service members.

Ive set up my new iOS app using storyboard with a tab controller with navigation views coming from it this works fine in storyboard as you can obviously create navigation controllers where you can provide the tab icon/text. What I want however is to have a couple of tabs which will launch modal actions (settings, add new record etc). If I try and connect a couple of views as model you don't get the tabs so I clearly missing something. I've looked at maybe subclassing the navigation controller but apparently that is frowned upon. Any suggestions appreciated.

A rechargeable battery provides a source of operating potential for an electronic circuit load. An operator controlled on-off switch connects the battery to a relay, and through the normally open relay contacts, to the electronic circuit. The relay winding is returned to ground through a capacitor. When the switch is closed the relay is momentarily energized by the current which charges the capacitor. A transistor has its collector-emitter path in parallel with the capacitor and its base coupled to the movable tap on a voltage divider connected across the load. In the absence of a low voltage condition across the load, the transistor conducts maintaining relay closure for normal circuit operation.
1. For use in a television receiver utilizing a battery source of operating voltage, susceptible to being damaged by discharge below a predetermined potential, a protection circuit comprising:
a viewer operable on-off switch coupled to said battery;
a relay, having a normally open switch path in series with said on-off switch on said television receiver and a control winding having first and second ends, said first end coupled to said on-off switch;
a capacitor;
a diode coupling said capacitor to said second end of said control winding, said capacitor being charged through said control winding and said diode, when said on-off switch is moved to its on position, to momentarily energize said relay; and
a transistor having a collector electrode coupled to said second end of said control winding, an emitter electrode coupled to ground, and a base electrode coupled to said television receiver, said transistor conducting to hold said relay energized if said battery potential exceeds said predetermined potential.
2. A protection circuit as set forth in claim 1, further including an adjustable resistor voltage divider substantially in parallel with said television receiver having a moveable contact coupled to said base electrode for adjusting the conduction threshold of said transistor.
This invention relates to battery operated electronic circuits and in particular to those utilizing a rechargeable battery.
The use of batteries as sources of operating voltage in communication equipment, in particular in those devices in which it is desirable to have a high degree of mobility, has become widespread. In addition, consumer electronics products such as television and radio receivers are also available in battery-powered form. Generally radio receivers utilize disposable batteries while television receivers employ rechargeable types. Typically, television receivers include circuitry enabling the user to recharge the batteries during periods of non-use in preparation for subsequent use.
Of the many types of rechargeable batteries available, the most commonly used to operate higher power circuits (such as television receivers) is the lead-acid type which include a plurality of chemical compound bearing plates within an enclosed cavity. The cavity is filled with an electrolyte in either a liquid or "jell" form which serves as a reactant and charge carrier. During the charging process, a reversible chemical reaction stores energy in the battery in the form of a chemical imbalance. Energy is given up during battery discharge by a chemical reaction which essentially reverses the reaction occurring during charging. While these batteries provide a satisfactory power source for higher power circuitry, they are expensive and subject to several operational limitations, the most significant of which is susceptibility to damage due to excessive discharge. There exists in such batteries a minimum charge level discharge below which renders the battery unrechargeable and therefore useless. This creates considerable hazard to battery life since the battery will continue to supply power after the minimum charge level has been reached giving rise to the possibility of inadvertent battery damage.
The use of such power sources to supply a television receiver is further complicated by the varying current requirements thereof. Variations in the load presented by the signal processing and display forming circuitry of a television receiver can vary in excess of 20% due to operator control adjustments. This degree of current variation presents difficulties in the design and application of battery protective circuitry in such applications. Properly designed battery-operated television sets accommodate changes in operating voltage caused by normal battery discharge. Therefore, it is often the case that no receiver malfunction occurs during battery discharge which would serve as an indication to the viewer that the battery is being rendered unrechargeable by continued use.
The use of presently available fuses or thermally activated breakers interposed between the battery and the receiver circuitry will, under most conditions, provide protection from damage caused by high current drain. However, such devices are current responsive and cannot protect the battery discharging below its minimum charge level. In addition, because battery powered consumer electronic devices, for example, television receivers, are operated by persons having little knowledge of their operation, it is desirable to have a positive-response automatic protection circuit which the operator cannot override. However, the cost restrictions inherent in competitive consumer electronics markets makes the use of complex costly protection circuits unlikely.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved protection circuit for use with battery powered electronic equipment.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a protection circuit responsive to excessive current drain and minimum charge level.
A protection circuit for use in combination with an electronic circuit having a battery source of operating voltage, susceptible to being damaged by excessive current drain or discharge below a predetermined level, includes a momentary coupling circuit which upon activation couples the battery to the electronic circuit for a brief interval. A sensing circuit senses the battery potential and overrides the momentary coupling circuit to maintain the coupling as long as the battery potential exceeds a predetermined level.
The drawing shows a schematic diagram of a battery protection circuit constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to the drawing, a battery 10 has a positive electrode connected to one terminal of a switch 11 and a negative electrode connected to ground. The other terminal of switch 11 is connected to a relay 13. Relay 13 includes a normally open switch contact 14 operable in response to energization of a control winding 15. A first end of contact winding 15 is connected to one terminal of switch contact 14. The other terminal of switch contact 14 is connected to a load 35 which is understood to include the operating circuitry of a battery powered electronic device such as a television receiver. The second end of winding 15 is connected to a diode 21 which, in turn, is connected to one electrode of a grounded capacitor 20. The junction of diode 21 and capacitor 20 is connected to one terminal of a switch 12, the other terminal of which is connected to ground. Switches 11 and 12 are mechanically coupled for simultaneous operation as indicated by the interconnecting dashed line.
A resistive divider formed by the series combination of a resistor 30, a potentiometer 31 and resistor 33 is connected in parallel with load 35. A transistor 25 has an emitter electrode 26 connected to ground by a light-emitting diode 28, a base electrode 27 connected to a movable contact 32 on potentiometer 31 and a collector electrode 28 connected to the junction of winding 15 and diode 21. While the protection circuit of the connection may be used with a variety of specific apparatus, its preferred usage is in conjunction with a portable television receiver. In that form, the circuit is built into the receiver proper and switch 11 and switch 12 together form the receiver on-off switch. Load circuit 35 thus represents the operating circuitry of the receiver.
Operation is most readily understood by assuming that the receiver is off, that is, switch 11 is open. Switch 12 is, therefore, closed connecting the junction of diode 21 and capacitor 20 to ground, thus discharging capacitor 20.
The receiver is activated by the viewer operating switches 11 and 12 which simultaneously removes the short circuit from capacitor 20 and connects battery 10 to control winding 15. Current flow through winding 15 and diode 21 charges capacitor 20, at a rate determined by the size of capacitor 20 and the resistance of winding 15, and activates winding 15 of relay 13 to close switch contact 14. The coupling continues while capacitor 20 is charging and drawing sufficient current through winding 15 to keep relay 13 energized. As capacitor 20 approaches a charged condition and, absent other actions described below, relay 13 is de-energized opening contact 14. Thus, a momentary coupling occurs.
During this momentary coupling interval, battery power is supplied to the load and to the resistive divider. If the battery potential applied produces sufficient voltage at movable contact 32, transistor 25 is driven into conduction providing a second conductive path for the current through winding 15 to ground via the collector-to-emitter path of transistor 25 and diode 28. Under normal operation, this current continues and relay 13 remains energized to continue operation of the receiver.
Thus, the battery potential is detected during the momentary coupling interval and monitored thereafter during operation. This is of considerable importance due to the "surface charge" characteristic of batteries. Briefly, a discharged battery, upon standing idle for some time, may accumulate a surface charge which, if measured in the absence of loading, may give a false indication of battery condition. Because battery discharge below a predetermined level is one of the fault conditions of concern, the protection circuit of the invention is capable of decoupling the battery even though normal operation has begun.
Battery 10 has a relative low source impedance and, therefore, substantial current can be drawn from the battery with minor fluctuations in output voltage. However, should the current drain become excessive, as would result, for example, by load 35 being short circuited, the voltage drop across the battery source impedance would cause a significant reduction in battery potential. Potentiometer 31 permits adjustment of the voltage applied to base 27 of transistor 25. The potentiometer is adjusted such that variations in battery potential due to normal load variations are tolerated allowing transistor 25 to remain conductive. Thus the protection circuit, by monitoring the battery potential protects against load circuit faults and discharge below the minimum charge level for the battery.
Under a short circuit or prohibitively low impedance fault condition in load 35, the excessive current drain from battery 10, in combination with the internal source impedance of the battery, reduces the applied potential below the predetermined level. As a result, the voltage at base 27 is insufficient to sustain forward bias of transistor 25 causing it to become nonconductive. Current through control winding 15 ceases and relay 13 is de-energized, opening contact 14 and breaking the coupling between battery 10 and load 35. Similarly, if at any time the potential produced by battery 10 reaches the predetermined level because of its normal discharge, the potential applied to base 27 of transistor 25 falls below the predetermined voltage level and, in the manner described above, current through winding 15 ceases, de-energizing relay 13 and disconnecting battery 10 from load 35 thereby preventing damage to the battery.
It should be noted that when a fault condition occurs causing transistor 25 to turn off, capacitor 20, previously charged during the momentary coupling interval, remained charged due to the reverse action of diode 21. Therefore, no current flows through winding 15, diode 21 and capacitor 20 until capacitor 20 is discharged which can be effected by moving the on-off switch to its off position and reactivating the receiver by moving the switch to its on position. This very important "latch" feature insures that the receiver will not of itself return to operation without actuation of the on-off switch. In other words, once a fault condition occurs, the protection circuit latches in the decoupled mode.
It is also important to note that upon the occurrence of any fault condition, the operator cannot override the protection circuit for a period greater than the brief momentary coupling interval and thus inadvertently damage the battery. If a fault condition persists, reactivation of the on-off switch causes the momentary connection of battery 10 to load 35 during the charging of capacitor 20 described above. However, unless the fault condition is removed, transistor 25 will not conduct and once capacitor 20 is charged, relay 13 again opens the circuit.
As mentioned above, diode 28 is light-emitting, that is, when conducting it gives off light. Since the emitter current of transistor 25 causes this light emission, diode 28 serves to indicate "normal" battery coupling. If load 35 is a television receiver or similar communication device, a convenient indicator light is achieved by placing diode 28 in a location viewable by the operator.
What has been described is a battery protection circuit which initially couples the battery to the load circuitry for a brief interval during which the battery potential is determined and if correct, the coupling is maintained. Further, the described circuit monitors the battery potential and under fault conditions discontinues the coupling.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Case studies by SEI on adoption in SME are based on continuous CMMI Continuous Representation Overview Continuous Staged • 5 Generic Goals • 2 Generic Goals • Basic and Advanced Specific • Only one set of Specific practices Practices for engineering PAs per process area • Progress can be made on PA by • Progress is made on groups of PA basis PAs related to a maturity level • Rating via Achievement Profile i.e. • Organizational Maturity Level ratings on different PAs Rating • Allows flexible approach • Progress is made on well defined addressing business need path • Defines Capability Level 1 useful • Allows somewhat easier transition for SME from CMM • Equivalent staging permits • Maturity Ratings are easy for comparison to Staged customers like Hotel star rating What are the capability levels? • Capability Levels reflect the process improvement achievement in particular process area • Capability levels go from 0 to 5 • Capability Levels are cumulative i.e. Capability Level 3 builds upon and includes all of Capability Level 2 Capability Level 0 – Incomplete • Some of the specific goals are not satisfied i.e. some specific practices are not performed • There is significant risk associated with the work being performed Capability Level 1 – Performed • All specific goals of the process area are satisfied • All base practices are performed • Essential activities are performed and the work is accomplished • However, the definition, planning, monitoring, and controlling of the process may be incomplete • The process may be unstable and inconsistently implemented Capability Level 1 is relatively easy to achieve, but it provides real tangible benefit. In environment with few people dedicated to the company success this might be enough. For example to achieve Requirements Management Capability Level 1 only 3 specific practices need to be addressed. Capability Level 2 - Managed • A capability level 2 process is a managed process • A managed process is a performed process that is also planned and executed in accordance with policy; employs skilled people having adequate resources to produce controlled outputs; involves relevant stakeholders; is monitored, controlled, and reviewed; and is relevant for adherence to its process description • A managed process is institutionalized (i.e. ingrained in the way work is performed • Processes are managed to achieve objectives that are established for the process, such as cost, schedule and quality objectives Capability Level 3 - Defined • A capability level 3 process is a defined process • A defined process is a managed process whose description is tailored from the organization's set of standard processes according to the organization's tailoring guidelines. • This contributes work products, measures, and other process-improvement information to the organizational process assets • The organization's set of standard processes are established and improved over time. Capability Level 4: Quantitatively Managed • A Capability Level 4 process is quantitatively managed • A quantitatively managed process is a defined process that is controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques. • Quantitative objectives for the product quality, service quality, and process performance are established and used as criteria in managing the process. • People performing the process are directly involved in quantitatively managing the process • Statistical predictability is achieved Capability Level 5: Optimizing • A capability level 5 process in an optimizing process • An optimizing process is a quantitatively managed process that is changed and adapted to meet relevant current and projected business objectives • Focus is on continually improving the range of process performance through incremental and innovative technological improvements • Quantitative process improvement objectives are established • Process improvement is inherently part of everybody's role, resulting in cycles of continual improvement. Base & Advanced Practices • In the engineering process areas in continuous representation there are specific practices which are relevant at certain capability level • Base Practices are specific practices applicable at capability level 1 • Advanced Practices are specific practices applicable at capability level 2 and 3 • Some Advanced Practices extend Base Practices • In staged representation when Advance Practice extends Base Practice only the Advance practice is listed. Base is included as informative elements Example – Requirements Management Evolution Equivalent Staging - 1 • Allows comparison to Maturity Levels • It defines what combination of capability level and process areas corresponds to each maturity level – To achieve ML 2 you must achieve CL 2 in all PAs of ML2 – To achieve ML 3 you must achieve CL 3 in all PAs of ML2 and ML 3 – To achieve ML 4 you must achieve CL 3 in all PAs of ML2, ML 3 and ML 4 – To achieve ML 5 you must achieve CL 3 in all PAs of ML2, ML 3, ML 4 and ML 5 Achieving ML 3 in the PA's of ML 4 and ML 5 means that CL 4 and/or CL 5 is achieved in selected by the organization Process Areas Equivalent Staging - 2 Process Area Dependencies? • The model chapters 1 through 6 recommend for Support, Project Management and Process Management to first address fundamental (basic) and then progressive (advanced) Process Areas • Generally Process areas that appear on higher maturity levels depend for effective implementation on process areas from the lower maturity levels. – This does not mean you cannot benefit form process areas at higher maturity levels.

ok, i might sound like a total amateur here, but sometimes you have to bite your tongue and sound a bit stupid
Ok, here it is...last year i had a fatali that didn't want to grow....kind of just sat there and only got about a foot tall. I'm not really a chinense grower, but had decided to give it a try to overwinter since last year it had but one--one centimeter pod---no taste/heat once i brought it in in October (?). So regardless of aphid gang rape during the winter, it has survived. Now it sort of looks like a truffala tree (see dr seuss the Lorax) and has tightly compacted groups of leaves(is this typical) that are now have tiny unopened flower buds. how long from blossom to ripe pods for fatali? the flower buds seem smaller than my chilitepein flower buds---does this seem right, or do i just have a stunted plant or some sort of miniature? I will do my best to get a camera over here to get a photo to better illustrate....my camera pooped the bed--ok, thanks for your patience and any input/help you may have for me----bob
I do know what you mean, I have had a few peppers that sprouted maybe two sets of true leaves then stop while the others of the same or different varieties keep on growing. After all the ones planted get to their 5th and 6th set of true leaves I terminate the runts. I tried to wait it out but they never preformed with or with out ferts. Just bad genes or something missing in that seed is my best guess.
Good luck and post a pic when you can
Probably from the aphids. I would expect that it would take off once the aphids were gone. I never really noticed unusually small buds on mine, so, not really sure about that. Most of the fruit I've gotten off mine is around 2.5"-3". Looking back at pics (didn't really time things) end of June I maybe had some blooms, end of July, green fruit and blooms, end of August, ripe fruit. Again, just taking random pics, not really counting days or documenting specific milestones.
@ tsheets---the time frame you stated is sort of what i was looking for.....basically one set of fruit per year, and taking the majority of the summer to reach fruition---thanks dude
ok, i am going to try to remember how to post a picture directly into the post from photobucket
ok, so here is the poor struggling Fatali with "truffala" top (oops, tag facing wrong way---typical of me) it is the one in front
small buds
and my fancied up hoophouse.....so happy, we NEED to have peppers under cover in western Washington for most peppers to reach "true" maturity, and 2 years ago my landlord made me take one down i had made. Last year we bought land (wahoo!!!!!!) but was way to busy to build one last year. I finally got this completely completed last week when i got some ladybugs(1500) and wanted to keep them "trapped" inside....but where did most of them go anyway...i am hoping they hide well
thanks Hab and tsheets for the replys---peace out--Texas Bob
Woah, must have misunderstood you question about pepper size of that fatali. That is a normal look for a pepper on the road to recovery, the flower buds are about normal can't even see the pedals yet, they will get bigger as the plant grows. Give it about 2-3 weeks and those won't be so tiny.
Hoophouse is looking Awesome!
With a mature (overwintered) plant I got 2 flushes and a few scattered ones here and there but had quite a few from the second flush that didn't ripen before cold weather set in. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a second flush later in the year. Hopefully in the hoophouse you'll have time.
that poor plant!! haha! Like Hab said, it looks like its well on its way to recovery, though.
That hoophouse is awesome, BTW!

Repotting - nursery cells to rootbound plants
First...thanks to Al for sharing his knowledge about soils. After reading a ton of discussion about 5-1-1, I have been searching the forum for the definitive tapla post on repotting in general and using the mix. I, and a huge bunch of others, am about to be repotting a bunch of flat plants (coleus, begonias, petunias, etc.) and need to help some older plants older plants where root care may be involved as well.
If this subject has been covered well and a link is available, please post it.

Has anyone tried growing Lily Trees in containers such as in the 30 gallon tubs besides me? Filled them up with Miracle Grow a few years back when container growing veggies in them, including tomatoes. Had problems with a Tomato Hornworm so changed over to growing flowers in the pots instead.

This centre is remarkable in many respects, firstly on account of its architecture, which does not in any way detract from the Cliffs of Moher site. Emerging from the greenery, the restaurant's bay window offers a breathtaking view. The "Atlantic Edge" exhibition recounts engagingly and informatively the riches of the ocean, man's history, habitat and climatic changes. An audiovisual show provides a virtual tour of the cliffs.
