The Greatest Love Story
On Valentine's Day, I'm reminded of what true love is by remembering the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad and Khadijah.
She was one of the noblest women around and came from a very prominent family. She also was a prominent business women with a considerable amount of wealth, and quite beautiful on top of all that. To marry her would have been a great feat for any man--and indeed, many important and wealthy men had asked for her hand. But she rejected them all. A widow, she had lost the desire to marry again.
Until he came into her life.
He was young man of 25, 15 years her junior. And although he was also of a noble family, he was an orphan and was not a man of many means. He made a meager living tending sheep in the hills surrounding the city. But he had an impeccable moral character--he was widely known as one of the most honest men around. That is what attracted her to him: She was looking for someone honest who could conduct business for her, as she-- a woman in a fiercely patriarchal society-- could not do it herself. So he started working for her.
After he came back from his first business trip, she asked her servant, whom she sent with him, about the young man's conduct. The servant amazed her by his report--this young man was the kindest, gentlest man the servant had ever met. And there was more. As they traveled in the heat of the desert, the servant noticed that a cloud had followed them the entire time, shading the young man from the blazing sun. The businesswoman was quite impressed with her new employee.
Not only that, this new employee proved to be an astute businessman. He sold his employer's goods, and with the profits bought other merchandise that he sold again, thus profiting twice. All these good things stirred her soul. The embers of love in her heart that were extinguished re-kindled again, and she resolved to marry this young man despite their age difference.
So, she sent her sister to the young man. She asked him, "Why are you not married yet?"
"For lack of means," he answered.
"What if I could offer you a wife of nobility, beauty, and wealth? Would you be interested?" she told him.
He replied in the affirmative, but when she mentioned her sister, the young employee chuckled in amazement.
"How could I marry her? She has turned down the most noble men in the city, much wealthier and prominent than me, a poor shepherd," he said.
"Don't you worry," the sister replied, "I'll take care of it."
Not long after, Khadijah married the soon-to-be Prophet Muhammad, the young man who had caputured his heart with his kindness and impeccable character. It was the beginning of one of the most loving, happiest, and sacred marriages in all of human history. Though Khadijah was 40 years old, it did not bother the Prophet one bit. They loved each other truly and deeply. They were married for 25 years, and she bore him seven children: three sons (who all perished at young ages) and four daughters. Theirs was one of the greatest love stories of all.
But what makes this love story so special? Perhaps because this first marriage of the Prophet was ensconced in such a special love. Much has been made about the Prophet Muhammad's multiple marriages. Some have even gone as far as smearing the Prophet as a womanizing philanderer (or even worse) citing the many wives he had taken after emigrating to Medina. But each of these marriages had a very practical explanation, and many of his spouses were older widows. By marrying these different women, the Prophet gave them care and protection in those turbulent times.

what to do with........earwigs.
some gardeners say they do alot of good, others just dispatch them.
What do you guys do???
Don't think they do any good......
They are a nuisance. They gather under my pots around the house so every now and then I lift the pots and kill them. I guess the wildlife guys will kill ME for saying that but it's what I do. If they do good tell me someone.
They eat rubbish basically and chew buds-a fairweather friend
So! blitzcrieg eh!

No -why?
Gotta leave some insects for the birds to eat!!!
I really like Woodlice - they're crustacians, not insects (although apparently they don't taste like lobster )
They don't carry any disease, and hand around nr dead vegetation or wood - they don't eat anything alive.
So next time you see them, think of prawns or crabs or lobsters - they're amazing!
I guess so......part of the food chain so useful then?

Late rental payments are not typically reported by landlords
Dear Experian,
Can a landlord report late or no rental payments to the credit bureaus? If so, how?
Dear TJR,
In order for a landlord or apartment management company to report information directly to Experian they would need to become a subscriber to our services. To do so, they would need to meet very stringent reporting standards as required by federal law, and additional security and system requirement of Experian. Membership to Experian's services is cost prohibitive in the vast majority of cases, particularly for individual property owners or small management companies.
That is one of the reasons rental payments are not typically reported to the national credit reporting companies. A second reason is that such payments fall into a category of information often referred to as alternative credit data.
Such information is credit-like in that you are making a payment each month, but you are simply paying for services in advance, which is not the same as repaying a debt. It does not reflect how you might manage new debt in the same way that your credit accounts or loans are predictive of future payment behavior.
While rental payments do not yet appear in a credit report, failure to make rent payments on time, or at all, often does find its way into a person's credit history as a collection account. Landlords and apartment management companies may send unpaid rent amounts to a collection agency, which then reports the unpaid debt to a credit reporting company.
Landlords and apartment management companies may also file civil suits for broken leases and unpaid rent. In that instance, the public record would become part of the credit report.
So, while late or unpaid rent is not usually reported directly, failure to pay your rent still can have a very negative impact on your credit report.
Thanks for asking.
- The "Ask Experian" team

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The keynote speaker for the South Carolina NAACP's celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life is the leader of the civil rights organization's North Carolina branch.
North Carolina NAACP President William Barber is the featured speaker on Monday at the annual rally to honor King on his holiday at the South Carolina Statehouse.
Barber helped organize protests over social issues last year in North Carolina that led to nearly 1,000 people being arrested at that state's capitol. The protests were over a lack of health care and education for minorities, something the South Carolina NAACP has been trying to draw attention to for years.
The rally starts with a prayer service in downtown Columbia, then a march to the Statehouse.

The new Microsoft Surface starts at $499 for the tablet only, without a type or touch cover (the detachable face cover with built-in keyboard), but including preview versions the Office RT apps: Word RT, Excel RT, PowerPoint RT, and OneNote RT. This review may be an extended effort to not only tell you about the Surface, but to attempt to answer the question "What were they thinking?"
I am attempting to type this review on the membrane touch cover, which I opted for as a $120 addition, but things are not going well. I think I have already pressed the Backspace key more often than the other keys combined, and I'm a good, fast typist. Maybe too good and fast, because adapting to a flat, unresponsive piece of foamy plastic is proving more difficult than I anticipated…
Let's start at the beginning.
The Specs
The case is a solid-feeling 10.81 x 6.77 x .37-inch, 1.5 pound hunk that is much too large to fit in any but the most capacious purse or jacket pocket. It is nearly laptop size, and reminds me of the heavy duty tablets of yesteryear designed for factory floors. The display is 10.6" diagonal, "Clear Type HD" screen at 1366 x 768 pixels, a 16:9 aspect ratio. This calculates out to 148 ppi (pixels per inch). The Surface Pro (once it is released) is slated to have 208 ppi. Rate this next to the iPad 3, at 264 ppi, The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" at 254 ppi, or the Nexus 10 at 299 ppi and it looks distinctly less attractive. The physical screen is Corning gorilla glass, same as the iPad, which makes it hard to scratch or break. Like the other mainline tablets it uses IPS technology to achieve a wide viewing angle.
The exterior of the case is beveled, which feels weird to me but that other people have said feels good to them. It has a one-position fold-out "kickstand" for propping the device up at a 22-degree angle (or 68-degree, depending on how you are looking at it). Now, I'm sure Microsoft paid someone lots to research the perfect angle, and maybe for most people it will be fine, but for me it's too steep. I wish the kickstand was adjustable. But it if were, I'd have a laptop display on a hinge rather than a tablet… O yeah, I forgot. It's not a laptop.
There is a power button and volume rocker on the edge of the case, and also a full-sized USB 2.0 port, a micro SDXC slot, a 3.5mm headset port, an HD video out port (though it will cost you $43 if you want the official HDMI out adapter from Microsoft, and then the cost of another HDMI cable to connect it to your TV). It also has a keyboard connector port on the bottom of the device for connecting the optional membrane touch cover or the tactile type cover (add $119.99 or $129.99) flanked by some truly industrial strength magnets that allow you to dangle the tablet from the cover without it detaching and falling to the floor. (Note: I am not recommending this). There have been some early, confirmed reports of problems with the touch cover splitting, so be warned.
Arggh. I am now typing the remainder of this review on my standard keyboard because typing quickly on the Surface touch cover proved impossible for me. It is flat and slightly spongy, but key spacing is an issue. I'm fast and pound on the keys, so it's not a good fit for me, but others' experience have varied. See this article in PC World for a comparison of the two covers.
The mag safe power connector on the side of the case is a huge problem. Its magnet is really iffy, and you have to fidget with the connector to get it seated properly. Fortunately there is a small LED indicator on the end of the thing to let me know it is seated and charging. It falls out at a touch, however. The first night I had the thing I left it charging overnight only to come in next day to find the janitors had moved the chair it was sitting on and the power cable had fallen out on the floor. If you are used to the mag safe connectors on the Mac, the connection is not nearly so strong.
Microsoft claims an 8-hour battery life for the RT model, but of course this will vary depending on your activities.
There are stereo speakers. They sound, but not good. You will want to use earphones for anything where sonic quality matters.
And then there are two of the worst built-in cameras I have ever experienced, facing forward and backward. They are not as bad as the Little Mermaid camera I once bought for my granddaughter at Toys R Us for $35, but almost. Whenever they are pointed in the direction of a light source they respond by creating all sorts of diffusion effects on the picture, with haloing and bleaching. When pointed away from a light source the picture fills with low-light noise. Getting a good picture is a matter of hit and miss, mostly miss. The only thing I like about the cameras is the built-in app that controls them. You can initiate a picture or movie by simply touching the screen anywhere (which might be good or bad, I suppose) but you don't have to hit a specific small icon. While the cameras on competing tablets are not great, this is by far the worst of the bunch.
Like everything else about this tablet it is clearly meant to meet multiple needs, but succeeds well at none. It is too tall and narrow to feel like a book when turned to portrait mode for e-reading, and too wide for thumb typing on the screen in landscape. This observation can be extended further to its Windows RT OS. It is neither fish nor fowl, with some bad attributes of both.
The Interface
The user interface is Windows RT, a close cousin to Windows 8 created to run on ARM-based processors. It has all the drawbacks of Windows 8, whose schizophrenic personality was created to bridge the worlds of touch tablets and keyboard and mouse driven desktops, with track pad driven laptops somewhere in between. It creates its bridge by mashing together the new and old. It will take you a good hour become oriented to Windows RT on the Surface, if you are an accomplished Windows 7 user. On a device made for touch, like the Surface (sort of), it has its advantages. On a desktop it sucks. In the non-touch desktop/laptop environment you will spend at least an hour getting up to speed with Windows 8 and then wonder why you bothered. The actual user interface adds no significant functionality, and imposes not only the penalty of having to re-learn old tasks in new ways, but litters your start screen. The Start button is gone, of course, replaced with a giant, dumb launch pad called the Start screen, which invokes old-style desktop apps and new-style full-screen Windows 8 (the OS formerly known as "Metro") with a bunch of mono-colored "tiles" that light up with distracting updates every few seconds. You know, the sort of things you usually turn off to eliminate distractions. Now these are features.
The Office RT apps are just the old style office programs. Microsoft is calling them previews, which really means, I think, that the touch-oriented apps were not ready to launch along with the Surface. Word RT is nearly the same as the standard desktop Word 2013 preview, with some of the macro/add-in functionality subtracted. It makes no significant accommodations to touch. When launching dialog boxes or working on the ribbon most of the icons and controls are just too small to accurately manipulate. Let's hope the actual touch versions are better. You really need a keyboard to make these apps work, which I suppose is the idea. The real claim to fame for the Surface seems to be the attached keyboard and the appeal to the potential business user of having Office on a tablet. But if that is so, why sell a model without the keyboard? Just to have a model priced comparably to the iPad? A laptop is a better choice.
The track pad built into the foam touch cover is of a piece with the rest of this keyboard. It works, but not well. I suppose this is all a function of what you are used to, but compared with the Apple track pads I have used it feels very tentative. I had to make some motions multiple times to get them to "register" with the device. It is not a smooth experience. I suppose it is amazing in itself that they could make a track pad out of this foamy plastic stuff and get it to act remotely like a real one, but I want to be productive, not amazed.
Do I have anything good to say about the touch cover? Yes, I really appreciate a keyboard that has both a Delete and Backspace key, arrow keys, and Home and End keys, along with special keys for activating the new Windows "charms." (If you don't know, don't ask). The onscreen iPad and Android keyboards leave a lot to be desired, along with the Microsoft onscreen keyboard. The physical keyboard makes up for all those shortcomings, or would, that is, if it worked better.
With respect to "Metro" apps, I am still mystified. Why do they exist at all. Windows had a good thing going with apps you could run simultaneously and actually, yes, in windows. This is no longer possible with the full screen Metro apps (you can have two on screen simultaneously with a cumbersome screen trick). Most of the ones I have seen run full screen simply pad the screen with lots of white space. Then if you want to run a "real" Windows app, you have to launch and manage it from the "desktop," familiar territory for all Windows users but which will undoubtedly mystify new users of the Surface. The real source of the problem was that in designing Windows 8 (and therefore RT) Microsoft locked themselves into a one-size-fits-all philosophy when tailoring operating systems for the touch and desktop worlds would have been far better. Let's hope they reverse themselves before long and that Windows 8/RT becomes the Vista to something much better to come.
Also mysteriously, the Surface does not have NFC, GPS or 3G technologies or even options. Other similarly priced devices do have some or all of these technologies. Okay, so maybe a couple of these things aren't all that important yet, but why not include them?
The App Store
The Microsoft app store is new, but not so new that it shouldn't have a lot more content than it does. Microsoft is counting on developers to create apps that will generate demand for Windows RT and 8 devices, but so far it hasn't happened. If you are used to the iTunes app store a tour through the Microsoft app store is like a stroll through an empty warehouse. Many of the apps that are there are of truly obscure interest, too.
When you do download the standard apps, Wikipedia, Kindle, Netflix, Evernote, and so on, you will wonder why? What was wrong with how these things operated on a laptop or desktop, to make another iteration of the same thing necessary? What's the advantage?
That is a question that can be asked about the Surface in general, and at this point the answer has to be, not sure, but appears to be not much.
What Were They Thinking?
So what was Microsoft thinking by releasing their made in China Surface with their own brand name on it?
- I think they saw Apple selling 100,000,000 iPads for $499 and up and thought they should own a piece of that trade. They were probably encouraged by the success of their Xbox franchise to think they could seriously compete in the hardware market. My own opinion is that they are much too late to the dance, with far too little that is distinct to offer.
- They probably thought the edge they could get was to pitch it not only as an entertainment device, not only a personal organizer and assistant device, not only as a learning tool, but as a business device, Office included. Trouble is the version of Office they provide is not very effective on a touchscreen, and the keyboard experience at least with the touch cover, is disappointing. Maybe they will rectify these problems, maybe not. It may be too late.
- They wanted to build an infrastructure like the iTunes store, Amazon's digital empire, and Google's Play store, and they needed a consumer entry point to their "app" store. Unfortunately, they built it but the developers have so far not come.
The 32GB Surface, with touch cover will cost at least $599. If you want the 64GB model make that $699. If you want the type cover add another $20. If you want a 2-year extended warranty—which would probably be smart with a new, relatively untested device, add $99. If you want to display your output on an HDMI compatible screen, and want to use the official adapter from Microsoft, add $43. Now add tax. You are somewhere in the neighborhood of $750 to $950. For that kind of money you can get a heck of a laptop that has touch, with a fully functional tactile keyboard, and touch pad, with a higher screen resolution, that runs truly windowed apps, with a terabyte of storage, rather than 32 or 64 gigabytes, and you will be able to prop the screen at any angle you like. I just don't think the Surface makes much sense for the business user, and if you intend to use it as a tablet the iPad, Kindle Fire HD and Nexus are all better choices.

(By Rich Bieglmeier) Apple Inc. (AAPL) is expected to report earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Wall Street anticipates that AAPL will earn $13.42 for its fiscal 2013 1st quarter. iStock expects the tech monster will report earnings that will exceed Wall Street's consensus number. The iEstimate is $13.53 – an 11 cent upside surprise. For the first quarter of 2012, AAPL smoked forecasts by 36.50%.
Apple is an iconic company that makes leading edge smartphones, tablets and computers, along with selling content for use within its ecosystem.
Quarterly profit checkups were a foregone conclusion, APPL will beat the consensus, and the only question was by how much. The NASDAQ 100 member topped Wall Street's best guesses by an average of 47.87% for 11 quarters in a row. That changed October 2011 when EPS came in less than expected. In fact, Apple's earnings per share have stumbled for the last two quarters and three of the last five. In each disappointing case, the stock lost ground in the days surrounding the announcement dropping 4.7%, 4.7%, and 3.8%, from last quarter back.
[Related -Apple Inc. (AAPL): iPhone Trending into Another Carl Icahn Disappointment?]
Wall Street has been all over the place for Apple's smartphone sales for Q1, iStock has seen estimates ranging from 40 million units to more than 52 million. Verizon Communications Inc.'s (VZ) earnings, released Tuesday morning, may have shed some light on what to expect. According to VZ, the cell provider sold 6.2 million iPhones, which was better than expected; however, Verizon's CEO suggested that only half were iPhone 5s, meaning the other half was lower margin and cost iPhone 4 & 4s.
[Related -Fusion-IO, Inc. (FIO): Can Fusion-IO Q2 Results Cheer Street?]
According to Google Trends, searches for iPhone fell 6% during October through December 2012 versus 2011 while iPhone 4 and 4s dipped dramatically, contradicting VZ's CFO's statement.
If the Verizon trend holds, in the USA anyway, sales figures could be up, but profits and margins getting squeezed.
Next up on the watch-list will be tablet sales and to what degree iPad mini cannibalized iPad sales, where we could see a similar trend, buyers choosing the lower margin iPad mini over the larger iPad enough to depress margins despite higher volume. For Q4, analysts estimate that tablet sales are expected to jump, big time; however, Morgan Stanley says Apple's share will remain at 50% of the US market, and Citibank analyst Glen Yeung believes iPad mini sales could account for up to 50% of the current quarter's sales.
With that in mind, iStock expects to see iPads deliver strong growth, and take up more of Apple's revenue pie. The danger is that iPad mini dominates iPad sales and cuts profit margins.
iStock expects to see a robust holiday quarter from Apple Inc. (AAPL) led by tablet sales. We will be watching Apple's profit margins closely, and so will Wall Street. If iPhone 5 lags - as suggested by today's Verizon announcement - and iPad mini steals from iPad, trouble could be lurking for Q2.
In this current era of central planning, malincentives abound. We raced to frack as fast we could for the read on...

Friday 28th October 2011: Leading European energy and ICT companies, R&D centers and universities, including ESB, Intune Networks and the Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG) have teamed-up to develop innovative "smart grid" energy solutions and services for homes, buildings, industry and the transport infrastructure.
The project aims to identify the requirements of a "smart grid" ICT system. Smart grids provide a balance between the supply of energy generated and demand. They can integrate advanced information and communication technology (ICT) into the energy distribution network so that electricity delivery is remotely controlled and automatically optimised.
The need for smart energy systems is driven by climate change and limited fossil fuel resources. These systems also need to efficiently manage traditional and renewable energy sources and to cater for new energy uses such as electric vehicles (EV). This is particularly relevant in Ireland, which has committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 20% and which aims to have 10% of all vehicles to be electric by 2020.
The ESB, Intune Networks and the TSSG are working together to deliver a smarter, more efficient energy grid for Ireland. The project focuses on developing enhanced services for electric vehicles, by intelligently combining data, such as web and in-car usage information, to optimise the driving experience.
Miguel Ponce de Leon, Chief Technologist at TSSG, said, "Smart grids are more intelligent, which makes them more efficient. We hope that this work will deliver a reduction in operating costs and will make new energy products and services, like electric vehicles, more accessible to consumers.
"The TSSG have already used bio-inspired and autonomic processes to advance energy management control systems in schools, offices and high capacity data centres. The FINSENY project will build on this knowledge and enable us to refine the smart grid infrastructure to support the energy loads that electric vehicles will need".
ESB hope that this project provides a testbed for further experiments in ICT enabling technologies.
Senan McGrath, CTO of ESB ecars, said the "ESB is committed to helping Ireland achieve its environmental targets and is tasked with making this a reality by rolling out a nationwide charging infrastructure including the supporting IT systems. It is not just about the eco electric cars, the infrastructure or the systems – it is about the entire user experience and value proposition on offer. Electric driving will be enhanced by the use of web based applications and as communications and the internet continue to develop, these opportunities will flourish".
Intune Networks is a leading technology company that provides a network platform for next generation carrier networks and is involved in designing the smart grid architecture for this project. Intune Networks is also the technology partner for the roll-out of the Irish Governments "Exemplar" network test-bed. Exemplar is an open access test bed to build and deploy future internet innovative infrastructures and services.
According to Fergal Ward, Director of Research of Intune Networks, "Intune's vision of the Future Internet is a greater and deeper fusion of internet services and infrastructures. Intune is committed to the FINSENY project and to collaboratively creating an innovative and sustainable Smart Energy infrastructure eco-system".
"The FINSENY project links some of the best brains of the ICT, energy, R&D and academic worlds. The results of FINSENY will contribute to a sustainable smart energy infrastructure, based on new products and services to the benefit of all European citizens and to the environment" he said.

...to the 50+ board. Now if I can just get the AARP to stop sending me membership kits! That, and getting through what has been an awful Massachusetts winter.
I've been a board member for about a year (with very few posts). Last year was one of my best years on the bike, culminating with a metric century in September - not much by the standards of this board, but I'm planning on completing my first complete century at 50 years old...there's a nice symmetry there.
Anyway, I've lurked on the 50+ board on and off for the past few months. You seem like a nice bunch. I'm glad to be among you.

Seek: relaxed and familiar.
05 Jul. 2013
Show report: Seek attracts with familiar atmosphereSeek had a calm start on Tuesday, followed by a busy Wednesday then a quieter Thursday. "The Frequency in the morning and in the evening was not that strong, however the afternoon on every day was very crowded. The atmosphere is good and everyone is in good spirits," said one exhibitor. "We are happy to be at Seek. Despite the hard season, our customers were not negative at all," says Lautaro Aravena Zuluaga from Cheap Monday.
The impression from many exhibitors and visitors is that Seek is a relaxed and familiar fair. "The fair is very nice and cool," said a visitor from the UK. Matthew Forster, Premium Sales Manager UK at Dr. Martens, had another opinion: "Compared with the show in January, the frequency is not that good, because buyers just finished a really hard season. This is also why they don't want to take risks, and is why they are interested in accessible shoes that have an edge, but that are easy to understand." At Cheap Monday customers were asking for "special things". Most of the customers came from Germany, Netherlands, UK and Scandinavian countries.

I want to work on giving our garden a more tropical/holiday feel. We have a well-established Fatsia Japonica & Mahonia Japonica, and have just planted out a couple of Coryline Autralis ("Variegata") so it's a start. Also have a Eucalyptus Tree in a teracotta pot which gives a nice mediterranean feel.
Has anyone got any idea's for any more plants that may be worth trying?
..I wonder which part of the country you live in, as some of the nicer ones are not reliably hardy... however, Euphorbia mellifera has survived in my East Anglian garden down to -15c which defies the RHS hardiness rating of H2... but freezing wind is it's mortal enemy I think.. see what you think... it's a native of Madeira... I wouldn't be in a garden without it.. you see them more on the west coast, especially in Cornwall.
Palms such as chamaerops are hardy here in Cornwall but most places I think. Slow growing and tropical. Yuccas look amazing but spiteful spines. Phoenix canariensis grows everywhere down here too but pretty hardy I think.
Phormiums in reds, pinks, yellows etc provide a tropical look but shrubs like pseudopanax, pittosporums and acacias add to it too. Olive trees in pots or in the ground? How about a red or pink cordyline?
The humble rosemary is a true Mediterranean plant with nice scented foliage and, if ??ou get the rich blue flowering ones, nice flowers too. Add lavenders and a convolvulous cneorum in a terracotta pot....velvety silvery foliage cascading with pure white flowers.
And cannas......large leaves in red, purple, green, variegated.....growing to 7' with fantastic exotic looking flowers in late summer. Grasses like stipa gigantea look exotic too....I currently have one 8' tall with plumes of golden flowers out shining everything else in the garden. Other grasses like miscanthus. I would avoid bamboo!
Maybe check out a hardy tropic nursery too....see what can grow for you.
Hardtropicals (http://www.hardytropicals.co.uk/forum/) is the place to get more inspiration.
Verdun's suggestions are spot on though for Palms, the only one provan truly hardy in the UK is Trachycarpus fortunei. Canary Island Date Palm (CIPD) is not hardy and should be seen as annual bedding apart from fortunate places in coastal Cornwall etc. Otherwise inside a dry greenhouse all winter, but they grow big.
Musa and ensete look the part and canna musifolia are tropical looking and give the jungle look.
Salina's suggestion for Euphorbia is also spot on!
Rodgersia, Ligularia, Rheum, Gunnera Manicata, Bamboo also immediately come to mind.
I always think crocosmia and kniphofia together give a very tropical look, it what are very hardy plants.
Andy, meant to add crocosmia....lucifer ESP.
Its difficult here cos most everything is hardy here.
For tropical feeling and appearance.... .and very hardy .......acteas, formerly cimicifuga, look great. Especially the brown leaved forms like brunette. Black negligee, etc. They have an architectural shape and provide white scented flowers. Grow these next to miscanthus variegatus which has white and green leaves grows to 7' and makes a narrow fountain of foliage topped with flowers in September.
@ Verdun:
Why would you avoid bamboo?
I was thinking of planting bamboo, but I am unsure about the drainage it requires.
Bamboo can be a thug if it's the 'running' type. Clump forming ones can be contained in their own bed or a big pot but you have to keep a careful watch on them. Anything with big leaves will be good Kleeblatt- some of the dark elders or ligularias for example. Also phormiums are exactly the right 'look'. Plenty of grasses- big or small- Miscanthus gets to a good height and there are lots of easily obtainable varieties. Ordinary plants amongst them will add to the look- lady's mantle (alchemilla) but it does seed about, or ferns as they get to a good size and give a strong contrast in leaf shape. Hot colours of lilies - day lilies and alstroemeria included , and even things like rhododendron as they give a good leaf shape and you can get strong flower colours. If you want calmer colours and more of a foliage look you can get white varieties of lilies and rhodies too.
In my 'tropical' bed I've got cannas, dahlias, eucomis, begonias, kniphofia, cordyline (except the rabbits have destroyed it), crocosmia, lots of lillies, hemerocallis, tritoma, verbena bonariensis, and a big banana. I lift the cannas, eucomis, begonias and dahlias for the winter, and I wrap the banana, but everything else is perfectly happy (and we are on HEAVY clay on north facing slope). I left the dahlias in the ground one year and they were all fine, but just flowered a little later than usual. Also each year I grow ricinis from seed - they are fantastic, really scary big tropical things! And then I fill the gaps with red amaranthus (love-lies-bleeding) and nicotiana sylvestris.
Even though most of these aren't strictly 'tropical' the overall effect is wonderfully jungly and vividly colourful.
There seems to be a problem with WHAT ARE TROPICAL PLANTS.
The climate they live in has a temperature minimum of 85 degrees F. (27 C) every day of the year and most commonly 30 C = 90F. My wife and I are fortunate to spend a big part of January and February in the West Indes each year where we see in gardens the most exotic plants which could not survive anything near the European climate.
Orchid World in Barbados has a fabulous display of Orchids with plants tied to wooden stakes, no soil or compost but just surviving by their Epiphyte nature from moisture and food taken from the air. There are 30,000 varieties in the 30 acre gardens and what a site! Also Heliconia, my favourite Tropical plant (cousins of the `Bird of Paradise`).
To look upon Bamboo, Dahlias and Begonias as Tropical is ridiculous.
To be fair he didn't say he wanted tropical plants, he said he wanted to give his garden a more tropical/holiday feel. The two are very different, clearly he's not going to build the eden project in his back garden, but there are many tropical looking plants which are hardy and will give the feel he's looking for.
That's the way I interpreted it too..tropical LOOKING plants. My first post clearly referred to this
We all have different views on bamboos but it is very, very silly to plant any of them. They are destructive. A grower of bamboos was featured on GW a while back amd even he admitted defeat with some of them. As a naive gardener a few years back I planted what I comsidered to be well-behaved varieties. Within 2 years they were creeping underground and popping up several feet away. I had a lot of digging over a wide area to finally eradicate them.
On the tropical theme, bamboos are not tropical but look it!!
Have a look at Cardoon. Not tropical but I think it has that look. Mine grows rapidly each spring and has lovely purple seedheads in the Summer / Autumn. Dies down in the Winter. I water it well in Summer and cut off any leaves that become unsightly, but I've found it as tough as old boots.
Would not recommend trying to cook any of it, even though it was eaten in Elizabethan times ( Artichoke) ..tried once..would have been better to have eaten the old boots!
I love fried old boots
Verd....and they talk about the Scots' diet..at least we only do pies and Mars bars....
Verdun & FG
Huntertony, I once had a Paulownia elongata, I was told that if I kept it cut back each year the leaves grew as large as dinner plates. I was worried when I read up about it as in Canada it is a nuisance growing wild in car parks etc.
I did as told and it was very impressive. But then it died. I think it's worthy of a look if you like Fatsia Jap.

This clear vinyl shower curtain is perfect for large clawfoot tub shower enclosures or soaking/whirlpool showers and can be used alone or as a liner. Curtain rings sold separately.
Ships in 1 - 2 Business Days
Good ProductPurchased the 108" clear curtain. It used 36 hanging clips. It is replacing the last one purchased here 10 years ago. It's a good product that lasts.
Shower curtainGood quality for odd size curtain
ReturningVery difficult to get to hang nicely. We purchased for a client but will be returning it.
clear shower curtainexcellent product
Vinyl Shower Curtain, Clear 48X72"This works great for our under sized older stall shower. There are not any magnets at the bottom but we are not having any trouble with it blowing in or out of the low ledge on the stall. We are ordering another one for our other same sized shower stall.
Don't buy it!So I bought this curtain for a "special-sized" shower knowing that the website says handout. But what I didn't know is that the cutting job would be worse than a child taking scissors to it. If I had known what terrible quality the cut would be I would have gone to target, bought my own and cut it myself. They are refunding my money, but what a waste of time! Definitely don't recommend it!
Nice but wish I could clean it betterThis is a good shower curtain for me but after a short time it gets water stains, soap stains, etc. I wish I knew how to better clean this.
Great for my clawfoot tubWe have had this curtain hanging on our clawfoot tub for several years now (7 I think). It has done its job and is now just starting to tear. I would say 7 years with the same vinyl curtain equals a good quality product. Purchased it because it was one of the few shower curtains (at the time) that was big enough to wrap around our whole tub.
Wide Curtain for Clawfoot TubThis shower curtain wraps around the whole tub. It is the only solution for a big classic clawfoot tub that also doubles as a shower stall. The curtain had the off-gas smell and is hard to clean. Comes with magnets on the bottom.
Shower CurtainTimely delivery after returning another one. Excellent customer service.

Retailer of the Week
Sonia Noya and Anthony Vouardoux, owners of Superficial in Berlin
08 Nov. 2011
SUPERFICIAL, BERLINSuperficial is located on one of the most secret shopping streets for little boutiques land individual retailers: Torstrasse in Berlin. There is a little neon-pink facade which does not let you pass without having a look into the boutique's interior. Sportswear International talked to the owners, Sonia Noya and Anthony Vouardoux, who have realized their vision of effortless, individual and playful fashion by offering fashion pieces (some are self-made) for men and women as well as eye-catching accessories. Interview by Elisa Amelia Bausch
Which are your current bestsellers?
Our bunny T-shirts are selling pretty well, even if it rather is a summer product. But for Berlin it's normal as everybody is young and goes clubbing, they also need things to wear to dance. And these shirts are so rock'n'roll, we love them, too.
Which denim labels work best?
"The Dude" jeans are selling best right now. They have a super-high waist and are pretty well cut. The girls are crazy about them. They want them in every color, but our favorite is the black one with a touch of green. At our store, as we don't offer big famous brands, people buy by impulse, and listen to their heart. As we also do when choosing our products actually…
Do your customers rather buy individual pieces or complete looks?
I think our clients have already their personal look so they just want to add a new piece to their wardrobe.
Superficial T-shirt selection
Where do you order from? Where do you get inspired? How important is the communication with regular customers?
We especially work with young designers from Asia, but we also have more and more upcoming designers from Berlin working with us. Actually, they have heard about us and come to present their works to us. That's what we like; word of mouth... That's also why we like talking to our customers about our clothes or just about the best parties for tonight.
How do the collections you offer for next fall/winter look like? What are the most important trends, in general?
We think that there will be a return of the "grunge look". More and more girls want to have oversized tees. "Smells like teen Spirit" is 20 years old, you know.
Did you add any new labels to your assortment?
We always try to offer new names. The last one is Daniel Torres, a former student from Vivienne Westwood. But we also like to pimp existing things. According to this, we have fresh and unique stuff in our store every day. For example, Yuki Itoda, a painter from Tokyo (now living in Berlin), did some artwork on our T-shirts while Sonia and Aycha Araya cut them – which also were a bestseller by the way. People like unique pieces and the fact that they are not that expensive.
Tell us something about your most interesting labels.
We love the "White Light by Aycha Araya" collection. She's a designer from New York living next door now. For example, she created a pair of pants partly made out of human hair. You have to see it!
Why does your store differ from other stores?
We wanted to create the feeling to be in a living room instead of being inside a shop. I think we did pretty well...and we are really happy to come and work here every day.
What do you like about your location and your customers?
Torstrasse in Berlin is really an amazing street - never too crowded but frequented by our exact target group. Actually, here, we can paint the exterior walls of our shops as we like to, have parties and nobody will complain. And that's exactly why young creative people come to this street full of little shops and art galleries. Torstrasse is the place to be, but not everybody knows it which is a good thing.
Superficial interior
How important is the interior/the store's atmosphere?
We worked with Felix Pahnke, an interior designer who designed some of the coolest places in Berlin. He really knows what he's doing and really listens to what you need/want. I think we did a real good job and everyone who's coming inside the shop is always amazed.
In your opinion, towards which direction is the purchase behavior going? Rather classics or a more individual/special style?
We have a good mixture of classic and unconventional things here. But the most interesting point for me is that a lot of guys have also a look at the women's selection and vice versa. So, in a way it's really hard to say what people in Berlin want in the end. They want to be special, as everybody, but the fact is that here nobody will judge them, because it's just a game and a way of being a bit more human. That's what the word 'Superficial' is all about for us in the end.
Are there any plans for an online shop?
We are preparing an online shop right now. I hope it will be ready soon.
Is there a role model of a store that inspires you?
Berlin has been inspiring us every two minutes for over four years now.

Thank you.. I just wonder about the recoil because it only weighs about 5lbs.. But it is only a 20gag. They (Benelli) say the recoil is reduced and smooth.. I will find out at Prado this weekend, going to shoot some clays..

Recoil? What's recoil? That must be for guys that own something other than a Beneli! It is a very nice shot gun and there is virtually no recoil.. You will be very pleased with it! Now I would imagine that the 12 gag. would have more recoil but it's very smooth with the inertia driven system!
Posted 21 October 2008 - 05:58 AM
Thnx.I looked at that gun 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.Now that I have the coin for it I am taking a closer look.Thanks for the info.

Many from New York's diverse ethnic communities rely on restaurants opened by their countrymen to provide the familiar flavors of home. Grey Dog in the West Village does the same for the coterie of those nostalgic for life in eastern college towns. It's rustic, with bare brick walls, weathered, hand-painted signs, ceiling fans, and colorful wood tables. The staff is young, idealistic and fresh-scrubbed, albeit with piercings and facial hair. This is Americana, though more of the Abbie Hoffman wrapped in an American flag sort than Brooks Brothers. There's a cooperative spirit in the air. Service is partially self, partially table. The house-blend coffee is strong; the muffins are substantial and homemade. The kitchen puts out the sort of honest food one would expect: sandwiches ranging from roasted turkey and brie to tuna melt to the grilled tofu burger, Cobb salad, burgersbeef and pulled porkplus quiche served with a small salad. Brunch is Grey Dog's big meal. The eponymous Breakfast comes with eggs, pancakes or French toast, and meat. Of course there's also the standard array of omelets and bagels and lox, as well as homemade Granola, all well done.Recommended Dishes
Grey Dog's breakfast, $11.95; grilled tofu wrap, $9.25

1) I don't feel a need to post my original fiction at the AO3 archive. I feel a driving need to get my hands on the software, install it, and begin a communal space for the kind of original erotica I love the best– which has a very fannish feel, and in fact, erotic fanficRead More

Wow, what a weekend in store for us Maderans. That is, if the clouds decide not to open. Not that we don't need the rain. But let's move forward.
So many thing are happening, this meager scribe will undoubtedly forget to mention something. However, we can start off with the silver anniversary (that's halfway to golden) of the Jesse Owens Games for the kids of Madera. The kickoff takes place tomorrow at McNally Park, and don't be afraid to cross the tracks. We're all Maderans and need to stick together. Council member Gary Svanda will be there, and a special tribute to his late colleague, Sam Armentrout will be presented by games' director Donald Holley.

All for the kids. Weather permitting, the annual —okay, the heck with political correctness, I'll say it again, "Easter" egg hunt will be held at Lions Town & Country Park. If it's not wet, hundreds of kids will gather up thousands of eggs in a little over three minutes.
Over the years I've watched this organized chaos and it is a shame that parents get involved. I have seen them running out with garbage bags, pushing youngsters aside, only to leave children crying with an empty basket. Shame on those aforementioned. It is, after all, for the little ones...

MEXICO CITY For three members of Juergen Klinsmann's U.S. team, tonight's World Cup qualifier against Mexico is a particularly special occasion — all belong to the United States' Mexican-American community.
Midfielder Joe Corona, central defender Omar Gonzalez and striker Herculez Gomez were all born in the States to Mexican parents with Corona and Gomez playing their football in the Mexican league.
All are proud of their heritage and thrilled to be playing in a venue rich in Mexican soccer history, but there is no question of divided feelings tonight (7:15, ESPN).
Corona, a graduate of Sweetwater High, faced a little pressure to choose the Mexican team rather than wear the red, white and blue, but is glad he opted to play for his country of birth.
"I had some family that told me to play for Mexico, but I just felt this was the right decision for me. I identified with the United States," said Corona, who also plays for the Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles in Liga MX. "Most of my life I lived there and I grew up in the States so that is why I chose the way I did."
Corona's family in Mexico is divided between loyalty to him and their own national team.
"We have our family members over here in Mexico and some that support us, some that support Mexico," he said. "My family supports me and wants me to win — but there aren't many Mexicans who are going to be rooting for the USA."
In this final stage of CONCACAF qualifying for next year's World Cup in Brazil, only three teams out of six will lock up a berth, with the fourth team landing in a playoff game against the Oceania winner.
Right now, Mexico is tied for third and needs a win after disappointing draws with Honduras on Friday and Jamaica in February.
The U.S. lost its opener to Honduras in February. It moved into second place after beating Costa Rica 1-0 in the middle of a snowstorm last week, though FIFA is studying a protest from the Costa Rica soccer federation that says the "physical integrity" of players was affected by playing in the snowstorm in Commerce City, Colo., and wants a replay.
Tonight's game is at the intimidating Azteca Stadium, where the Americans have only beaten Mexico once — in a friendly last August.

Thrifty Quail Habitat Management
the planted crop.
Top picture is corn planted at half the recommended rate and with a light herbicide application to control some of the seedy plants. Notice the abundance of pigweed and foxtail in the corn. Bottom picture: An idle food plot provides good brooding cover and food the following year. Idling plots cuts your costs in half!
Reduce Native Warm-Season Grass Seeding Rates.
If not required by a conservation program, consider reducing native warm-season grass seeding rates to no more than 3 to 4 pounds of Pure Live Seed per acre. The lighter seeding rate will leave more room for annual seed-producing plants and bare ground--the stuff quail like. If possible, plant the shorter native grasses like little bluestem and side oats gramma. These grasses tend to be less competitive than the "big" native grasses and thus leave more room for native forbs, legumes and bare ground. Another option is not even to plant warm-season grasses at all. I've seen numerous old fields in Missouri that only needed an herbicide application to eradicate tall fescue or smooth brome. If there are already scattered patches of broomsedge or other native warm-season grasses, skip the headache of planting more grass and work with what's there. Remember, quail don't need a lot of grass for nesting. Sorry, you'll have to start over if the field is heavily infested with nonnative warm-season grass like Bermuda grass.
Learn to Burn and Burn Safely.
The best quail management tool is prescribed fire. No other practice is as cost-effective as prescribed fire. Learn how to use it correctly and safely.
Enroll Your Crop Field Edges into CRP!
Research has shown that crop field borders enrolled in the conservation practice known as CP33 provide more than just habitat; they also save the farmer money! Studies completed by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri have shown a positive economic return to enrolling field borders into the CP33 practice, better known as "Bobwhite Buffers." Researchers compared crop yields, commodity prices, operating costs and soil rental rates to determine the economic value of installing CRP field borders. Even with high-commodity prices the economic benefit is higher on crop fields with buffers than those without. If the economic benefit isn't enough, biologists monitoring quail densities have seen a significant increase in quail densities on crop fields with CP33 field borders than on those without.

With the year not even half done, 2008 is already the deadliest tornado year in the United States since 1998 and may break the United States record for the number of twisters in a year. The numbers for the United States so far this year: at least 110 dead, 30 killer tornadoes and a preliminary count of 1,191 twisters. The average number of tornadoes in an entire year is 1254. At least 22 tornadoes this year have been in the top part of the new Enhanced Fujita scale, rating a 3 for "severe," or a 4 for "devastating". Winds in the tornadoes have averaged between 136 and 200 mph. More than 50 of the deaths this year have been in mobile homes and have been a factor in nearly half of all tornado fatalities in recent years.

Long awaited 'Next-Gen' Hitman title deliversnotliam | June 27, 2013 | Review of Hitman Absolution - PlayStation 3
The game is fun and very much 'Hitman' but it certainly isn't perfect. There are some levels where it's basically 'get through this wave of enemies looking for you', which breaks up the 'kill the target!' type gameplay you come for, but overall an incredibly fun game that you can replay through quite easily.
