Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?

Title: Propagation of Liatris elegans in Lubbock TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I am going to harvest several Liatris Elegans.I want to grow as many as possible out of what I harvest. What will be the best method? I have plenty of land at my home for growing these plants.I will dig them up this weekend and put them in 1-2 gallon pots in their native soil till I know what needs to be done to maximize the number of plants I can grow from 1-2 dozen I intend to harvest.
The Liatris are blooming right now in the Gardens of the Lady Bird Wildflower Center and are beautiful, especially at this time of year when many wildlflowers are dormant. We found an excellent article on propagation of Liatris and it specifically mentioned Liatris elegans (Blazing star). This article, from Gardening-Tips-Perennials.com gives very specific instructions. Of course, you could wait until the seeds ripened on the plant, but this particular author said division was his preference.
We suggest you read this article from Virginia State University Cooperative Extension Propagation by Cuttings, Layering and Division for more complete information. And you still might try some seeds!

Setting iTunes as Default Music Player
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: iTunes is set as the default music player on my PC, but when I click on a track and ask iTunes to play it, it will play through RealPlayer or Windows Media Player. Can you tell me how to get my music, and especially my CDs, to play through iTunes?
- Mal
A: If you select Edit > Preferences in iTunes, then click the General tab, you'll see an option: Use iTunes as the default player for audio files. This should be checked. If this doesn't override the other programs you have installed, you'll need to go to Windows Media Player and Real Player and change their settings.
In Windows Media Player, select Tools > Options, then click the File Types tab. Uncheck the file formats you want iTunes to play. From what you've said above, you probably want to uncheck Music CD Playback, MP3 Audio File, and perhaps AIFF Audio File as well. Click Apply.
For Real Player, select Tools > Preferences, then click the Content category, then Media Types. As with Windows Media Player, uncheck those file formats you don't want Real Player to play. Click OK.

NBC Orders ALICE IN WONDERLAND Sequel Series
NBC is going down the rabbit hole.
According to TV Guide, the network has ordered a pilot for an ALICE IN WONDERLAND sequel series from CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.
Entitled WONDERLAND, the show is officially described as: "Seven years ago, Clara's life took an unexplained turn for the worse, but a mysterious stranger tells her there may be an explanation after all, an explanation that lies in the fantastical world of Wonderland. Determined to revive her dreams and get her life back on track, Clara agrees to wage war against the reigning, but malevolent Queen, the woman we once knew as Alice."
Whit Anderson is set to pen the Alice-less pilot, with Zuiker serving as executive producer alongside Matt Weinberg, JoAnn Alfano, and Margaret Riley.
The CW also chased after the white rabbit in 2012, ordering WUNDERLAND, a modern reinterpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. The network ultimately passed on the project for next season.

The worst thing in this discussion is when people put words in the mouth of high paragon players. This is not something that some low paragon players made up to complain about other people playing more and gaining more. This is about high paragon players being dissatisfied and fed up with the current system. If you are world paragon #1, there is no one to be jealous of. Yet, both Vajet (combined paragon #1) and Ryu (current paragon #1) in their interviews said that this system is flawed:
(Their criticism of the current system can be found if you scroll down in both interviews, answers to the last question.)
The situation is so strange: Low-level paragon players are saying "the system is fine, high-level paragon players should get more power". High- level paragon players are saying "the system is flawed, we should not gain *that* much power". Sigh.

I started doing photography back when you had a camera loaded with film took your photos and went into the darkroom, developed the film and then went to the enlarger and did B&W prints.
I am discovering the differences between the old ways and the new ways, and processing digital images via software in a comfortable chair, instead of in a darkened room with chemicals.
I believe that there are some guidelines for photography, but no set rules as everybody has different tastes and ideas of what makes a great photo, and there are always shots that just work as they are. Using software to edit and adjust your images is ok.
As long as you are proud of your finished work thats what counts, you dont need to be concerned about pleasing everyone, you cant.

Lehman Brothers will not live on as an asset manager in the face of objects from its creditors committee.
The bankrupt bank has given up on its search for a partner to manage its Legacy Asset Management Co. That group, which has more than 400 employees and about $65 billion in assets, including private equity assets, will instead focus on liquidating Lehman's assets for the benefit of creditors over the next several years.
"Under the current governance, as long as it is in bankruptcy, a LAMCO partnership will not be pursued," Lehman CEO Bryan Marsal told Reuters. From the creditor's standpoint, "there was a real concern that we would become unfocused and instead of focusing on their $35 billion in assets, we would focus on new assets. For them, there wasn't enough juice in the deal to warrant that distraction."
The next hearing on Lehman's bankruptcy plan is set for Aug. 30.

10 sent to hospital following accidental hazmat incident at Temple Square
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Two chemicals were accidentally mixed together at Temple Square on Thursday, creating a hazardous materials scare that resulted in 10 people being sent to the hospital.
About 11:30 a.m., a janitor inside Temple Square's South Visitors' Center, 50 W. South Temple, was pouring chlorine into what he thought was an empty bottle, said Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Jasen Asay. But there were traces of sulfuric acid inside from a previous job.
The mixture created a vapor cloud of thionyl chloride, he said.
"When you breathe it, it creates burning in the mucus membrane, coughing and nausea," Asay said.
The amount of chemicals mixed was small, but the room was small enough that many people were affected, he said.
About 50 people were evacuated from the visitors center. The south end of Temple Square was also blocked off, and TRAX service between the Gallivan Plaza and Arena stations was stopped because of emergency vehicles on the tracks.
All 50 people were evaluated by firefighters and paramedics. Ten, including the janitor, were sent to local hospitals for further evaluation as a precaution.
The best way to treat people who may have breathed the chemical was to get them fresh air, Asay said. Many of those evacuated showed improvement immediately after getting out of the building.
The building's air system eventually pumped the chemical outside, where it quickly dissipated and did not pose a threat, he said.
TRAX service and the closed roads were reopened a little after 1 p.m.

KOTA KINABALU: Almost two hours after posting her goodbye message on Facebook, jilted housekeeper Hasrina Chee (pic) fell to her death at the Centre Point shopping mall here.
The 21-year-old is believed to have fallen from the mall's sixth floor car park at about 11.30pm following her Facebook post at 9.42pm on Thursday.
According to her friends, she said sorry to her family and goodbye to her friends.
The screenshot of the posting has been making the rounds on social media. The post has since been removed from her Facebook page.
Kota Kinabalu city police chief Assist Comm Jauteh Dikun said they were investigating the case as sudden death and did not rule out suicide.
He said the police had sent the body for a post-mortem and were now recording statements from immediate family members and friends.
In her post, Hasrina also said that she "will close her eyes forever" while naming a person believed to be her former boyfriend and saying this was "a present" for him.
ACP Jauteh said the ex-boyfriend, said to be a security guard with the hotel where she worked, had lodged a report on May 7, claiming that Hasrina had threatened suicide if he did not take her back.
He urged friends of Hasrina, particularly those on Facebook, to come forward and assist the police in their investigations into her death.
Anyone with problems in Kota Kinabalu who needs someone to talk to is encouraged to call the Befrienders at 088-255-188 or e-mail email@example.com or visit befrienderskk.weebly.com.

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced that Duran Duran will headline its unveiling of the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata during a live event to be held in Monterey, Calif. on Wednesday, Sept 3, 2014, and viewable globally on Mazda's YouTube channel.
Revealing one of the most anticipated cars of 2014 on a global stage is not easy. Fans may be asking, "Is There Something I Should Know?" To accommodate them, Mazda will hold simultaneous global reveals in Tokyo, Barcelona and Monterey. U.S.-based fans can tune-in on Mazda's YouTube channel (http://bit.ly/2016_MX5) starting at 6:00 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, September 3 to watch the live reveal of the MX-5, as well as highlights of Duran Duran's unforgettable performance.
"Duran Duran and the MX-5 Miata both made their world debuts in the 1980s and captured the hearts and imagination of an entire generation," said Russell Wager, vice president of Marketing, MNAO. "In 25 years, both the car and the band have evolved while staying true to their roots. It is this combination of authenticity and endurance that makes the pairing of the MX-5 and Duran Duran so appropriate for this reveal."
Mazda's MX-5 celebrated its 25th Anniversary on February 10, 2014. It is the best-selling two-seat roadster of all time, with more than 930,000 models sold around the world since its 1989 debut, and is praised for always being affordable, lightweight and fun to drive. The world received its first sneak peek of the fourth generation of the car on April 16, 2014 when Mazda introduced its new chassis during the 2014 New York Auto Show.
To give fans another opportunity to see the 2016 MX-5, Mazda has also partnered with Fashion Rocks, which will celebrate the powerful relationship between fashion and music with a live broadcast on CBS on Tuesday, September 9, 2014 (9:00 PM ET, tape-delayed to also play at 9:00 PM PT). A specific Mazda-branded page can be found on www.FashionRocksLive.com/The-Road. The branded site features custom-curated music content including videos from Fashion Rock artists Duran Duran, Nico and Vinz, and AfroJack, as well as the full lineup of Mazda vehicles.
Fans can follow the MX-5 conversation on Twitter through #LongLivetheRoadster or on Facebook.com/Mazda.
