If you have an active University Housing License Agreement for the academic year, you are welcome to stay with us for Winter Break.
You are expected to participate in hall closing sessions for your community. Your hall staff will communicate the expectations for your specific residence hall.
If you intend to stay in your room on-campus for any duration of Winter Break, you must notify University Housing. More information about this expectation and process will be communicated to your ASU email in October or November.
If you are not planning to stay for winter break, you are responsible for the following:
- Clean your room.
- Defrost and clean your Micro-Fridge/mini-fridge*.
- Leave it unplugged, empty, with the door open, tilted with its back to the wall so excess water does not leak out.
- Do this at least 48-hours before you leave to avoid flooding. Fridges must remain in your room – do not defrost them in common areas.
- *This does not apply to full-size university-owned refrigerators in apartment kitchens.
- After defrosting, please plug your refrigerator back in.

- Move all furniture/items away from your heat/AC unit. Facilities staff complete routine work during the break and will not change your filter if your items block their access.
- Move important items off the floor and away from walls.
- Secure your valuables. Remember to take home any essential items as your access to the community will be shut off once you check out of the hall for fall semester (medications, passports, tickets, house keys, glasses, seasonal clothing for your destination, etc.).
- Secure bicycles on bike racks or in your room. Do not leave them in hallways, attached to signs or railings, etc.
- Report any door or window lock problems to your neighborhood desk before you leave so that your door/window may be secured when you depart.
- If you are leaving, close and lock your window. (Windows left open may cause pipes to freeze and burst, leading to water damage.)
- If you live on the first floor/ground floor, close your blinds. If you live on upper floors, leave your blinds open.
- If room is completely unoccupied for Winter Break, set your thermostat (if applicable) to "off".
- Return to their proper place any University furnishings (such as lounge furniture) that are not part of the standard arrangement of your room. Any such items found in student rooms during inspections will result in disciplinary sanctions.
- If room is completely unoccupied for Winter Break, turn off all lights!
- Lock your door. Take your keys home with you if you are returning to your room for the spring semester.
- Don't post anything on your door that indicates you are gone!
When you return to campus for the Spring 2024 semester:
- Check in at your residence hall front desk.
- If you are returning after January 8, 2024, email firstname.lastname@example.com with your intended return to campus date. This will ensure that your building access is not turned off.
Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be eligible for a License Agreement Release. Learn more about the License Agreement Release process here and submit on the Housing Portal.
If approved for a Spring 2024 License Agreement Release, you must complete your checkout no later than 24 hours after your last Fall 2023 final exam. (If your License Agreement Release request is not approved until after this date, you have 48 hours after receiving your approval notice email to vacate your room).
Any students who have not completely moved out and checked out by January 5, 2024 will incur Spring 2024 Housing charges on their student account.
To complete a checkout, you must:
- Move all personal belongings out of your room.
- Clean your living space.
- Return your room key(s) and check out at your residence hall front desk.
- Return your UPS mailbox key to the UPS store location that corresponds with your mailbox (if applicable).
- All approved License Agreement Release requests will have a $500 fee. Spring 2024 Housing charges are only prorated for completed License Agreement Release requests that are approved on or before the Tuition Refund Deadline.
You are not required to complete any steps to remain in your residence for the winter break.
If you are not intending on returning, families will need to complete the License Agreement Release online through the Housing Portal.

Even when dumps shop 're a frequent flier, we suggest that you just go for a credit card that gives cash again. CVV is code for credit card information that can be bought at a cvv shop.

Can you put wall tiles on the floor, or floor tiles on the wall?
Wall tiles on floors would be a bad idea.
Tiles for the walls are less resistant to damage, and if you put them on the floor they will quickly show unsightly signs of use, such as scratches.
Usually you can put floor tiles on the wall.
This is a great solution if you want a surface that is exactly the same colour, which will allow you to arrange a modern, minimalist interior.
Although, we have an even better solution for you – many of the collections available in our store have both floor and wall tiles.
The Tosi Tiles collection–inspired by the nobility of marble—with its bold base tiles, large-format square and rectangular tiles, hexagons and mouldings, allows for free arrangement of spacious, multi-level rooms. See collectionDifferences between wall and floor tiles.
When selecting tiles, consider their appearance as well as their parameters.
There are several differences between wall and floor tiles.
Your first consideration should be how slip-resistant they are.
For wall tilling, there is no need for non-slip models, but for cladding on floors, it is a key consideration.
A non-slip tile is especially important if you're choosing tiles for your bathroom or terrace.
Another significant parameter is the abrasion class.
Tiles for walls do not have to be abrasion resistant in the same way as the floor covering.
Even so, you don't always have to select the most durable tiles.
Slip resistance is much more critical in the bathroom than abrasion class, since you won't wear your shoes there.

Sir – North Leigh Library is yet another victim of the senseless and long drawn-out round of library cuts (Gazette, January 23).
The original assessment of library services across the county was biased in favour of the larger town libraries, where communities have easy access to multiple facilities not available in the villages.
The process is based on unrealistic expectation for dozens of reliable volunteers to materialise.
Who will train these people? What will it cost? Will there be a paid manager to co-ordinate them all? Who will keep the service going when volunteers fail to turn up?
Professional staff are being treated cavalierly and unfairly – all in the name of saving money. How much will it actually save?
We need answers to the following: Exactly how much will staff cuts save? What has been the cost of installing the self-service machinery in our libraries? What will be the cost of training volunteers? What will be the cost of the management appointed to support the new community library system? Will all this disruption really save money?
A reply trotted out to our concerns is that no libraries will actually close.
That is great but all this looks suspiciously like the beginning of the slippery slope.

GameStop to offer returns on new games, but there are some big catches
As it is now, it's pretty difficult to get a refund for an opened, new game at GameStop. That will all be changing soon, as GameStop customers will be able to return new releases within 48 hours of purchase, even if they've been opened. That sounds great, but of course, there are plenty of caveats to consider before you get too excited.
News of this promo was first leaked by Cheap Ass Gamer, which published an internal GameStop document on Twitter that outlines a new program called "Guaranteed to Love It." With this program, GameStop will allow customers to return a newly-released game within 48 hours after launch for a full refund. This applies to opened products, so if you get a game home and realize you don't like it, you'll presumably be able to bring it back.
News: GameStop to Launch "Guaranteed to Love it" program. If you return the game within 48 hours of the game's launch you get your money back in the form of Trade-in Credit. First game is Days Gone. If you hate it, bring it back with 48 hours and get $59.99 in trade-in credit. pic.twitter.com/kLMBpsDz7O
— Cheap Ass Gamer (@videogamedeals) April 16, 2019
Notice that we said "48 hours after launch," and not "48 hours after purchase" in that paragraph above. In order to take advantage of the full 48 hour return period, it sounds like you'll need to buy the game at release. You won't get cash back, either, but rather store credit.
As far as eligibility is concerned, GameStop's memo only references one game: the upcoming PS4 exclusive Days Gone. Days Gone is scheduled to launch on April 26th, which means that the Guaranteed to Love It return period would last until April 28th. Anyone who buys a new copy of the game after that point would, presumably, not be eligible for a return.
GameStop confirmed the Guaranteed to Love It program in a statement to Polygon, in which it confirmed that Days Gone will indeed be the first game eligible for it. "True to our core promise, today's announcement is a testament that GameStop is committed to giving power to the players — and our 'Guaranteed to Love It' trade promotion offers our customers the peace and mind of buying video games inside our retail stores at no risk, beginning with Days Gone next week," the company said.
It remains to be seen if the Guaranteed to Love It program will apply to all new releases beyond Days Gone, or if it'll be limited to certain new games. We'll likely find out soon enough, but for now, head down to the comments section and tell us what you think of this new initiative.

The Lynnwood Police Department and Snohomish County Sheriff's Office are hitting the road in force to look for impaired drivers.
Special DUI emphasis patrols are under way and will last until the day after St. Patrick's Day on March 18.
"With Saint Patrick's Day falling on a weekend, area liquor establishments may have more customers drinking 'green beer' than in past years," said Tracy McMillan, the county's DUI and Target Zero manager. "We want to encourage those choosing to celebrate to make plans ahead of time to get home safely."
Police are teaming up with local bars to make on-premise visits and be sure everyone gets home safely. Snohomish County will use grant money to put more enforcement teams on roadways during this campaign.
Between 2005 and 2011 in Washington state, nearly 54 percent of traffic deaths around the Saint Patrick's Day holiday involved an impaired driver.

'George, hurry up.'
Elaine's voice carried up the stairs and into the bathroom, where George was splashing his face with cold water. He hated Christmas shopping and, previously, his only part in it had been to buy Elaine's present from the jeweller on the high street. Now that he was retired, he was expected to accompany her on the traditional Christmas eve excursion to buy stocking fillers for the grandchildren. A waste of time, in his opinion. All they wanted to do was play computer games. The balls, oranges, and toy cars that Elaine shoved into suitably festive socks were of no use to them.
On the drive into town, Elaine updated him on the state of Mrs. Turner's haemorrhoids, Dr. Anderson's views on the mutability of covid, and her sister's dog's trip to the vet. There was a brief interlude while he bought a parking ticket before the onslaught resumed. Should she choose this or that poinsettia? What did he think about white versus coloured lights? Why was the woman in the queue staring at them? Did he think the eldest grandchild would like a story about dinosaurs? He leaned against a shelf in the bookstore while he waited for her. There were people everywhere, rifling through piles of books with an air of quiet desperation.
By the time he'd loaded the last of the bags into the car, he was mentally and physically exhausted. Under pressure to hurry, he hadn't checked the weather forecast before leaving. As they drove out of the car park, he was dismayed to see it was snowing; fat, fluffy flakes slid slowly down the windscreen. It never snowed at Christmas in rural Oxfordshire.
'It won't stick,' Elaine said with characteristic certainty. 'It isn't cold enough.'
As the car laboured up the hill, the flakes, now smaller and more determined, clung to the wiper blades. George pressed his foot on the accelerator, and the wheels skidded before the car lurched forwards. Elaine paused in the middle of a convoluted story about the newsagent's mother's chemotherapy.
'Is everything OK?'

The Extra Long Curtains is a simple yet multifunctional piece of furniture that can be used to create a beautiful and functional home.
The curtain is an important part of any interior design. It serves as a barrier between the outside and inside, providing privacy while maintaining the view of your home. Curtains can also be used to add style to your room.
Here are extra long curtains that combine style and function in your home:
– Blackout curtain for living room or bedroom
– Natural linen curtains for living room or bedroom
– Cotton pleated curtains for dining room or bedroom
"Extra Long Curtains" Versatility
Extra long curtains are versatile curtains that can be used for a variety of purposes. They can be used as a room divider, a privacy curtain, or even a floor length curtain.
Extra long curtains can be used in the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. They are also perfect for conservatories and sunrooms.
Extra long curtains offer an easy way to add some color to your home decor while providing privacy at the same time.
How to Pick the Right Size of Curtain for Your Window
The size of your window will determine the size of your curtains. The length of your curtains will also depend on the size and style of your window.
When you're shopping for curtains, it can be hard to know what size would work best for you. The length of a curtain is measured in inches and it's measured from the top edge to the bottom edge. If you're buying a rod pocket panel, then you'll need to measure from the top edge to one side, then to the other side.
The key is finding a balance between privacy and lightness. You'll want to make sure that they don't block too much light or that they don't let in too much light so you can see through them easily when needed.
Considerations When Choosing Extra Long Curtain Panels
There are many different types of materials that can be found in extra wide curtains. This is because the width of the curtain panels is wider than the standard width.
Some materials like cotton and linen are more expensive than others, so it's important to consider your budget when choosing these curtains.
Extra long curtain panels can also help to make a room look bigger, but they might not be suitable for smaller rooms with limited space.
The Motivation Factor to have Extra Wide Curtain Panels at Home
The motivation to decorate with extra wide panels is that they can provide a lot of light to the room. They come in different styles, materials and colors. They also bring an element of sophistication and elegance to any room.

Summers have seemed quite hot the last few years. Good thing there's a few ways to stay cool. One of the best is to spend your time out on the water. You'll catch the breeze and the water will cool you off. This article explores the top 5 ways to stay cool this summer.
1. Wakeboarding
This sport is great for beginners. You'll learn how to balance yourself before you get into the more intense water sports. As you swivel your weight, you will move left to right. You can even let yourself jump the wake of the speeding boat. This will send you soaring a few feet in the air.
Start with a shorter rope to keep it easier to balance yourself. Use the foot you'd normally kick a ball to put forward. This is known as your best foot. Doing this will keep your balance more easily. Begin the session in a low crunch and stand up as you get more comfortable.
Doing this at 14-19 miles per hour is quite an experience. You'll feel the wind and water whipping against your skin. If this doesn't make you smile, what will? You can read our guide about picking the best wakeboards right.
2. Para Sailing
Here's a memorable way to get a bird's eye view. You'll glide behind a boat and lift hundreds of feet in the air. Everything will seem tiny from your perspective. There's also a nice breeze to help cool you down.
The boat's forward progress and the wind keep you in the air. Make sure to inspect the sail and harnesses. Para Sailing is fairly safe, but you should always be cautious.
Check the company's review and reputation. Go with one of the best in the area to prevent accidents. Look for a company with a long track record. They'll show you the ropes and keep everything enjoyable.
3. Jet Skiing
This is a classic water sport you should try at least once. You can tear through the water at over 50 miles per hour once you have practiced.
Make sure to never turn at too sharp of an angle at high speed. Also, watch out for large waves and bodies of water with lot's of boating traffic. Keep your distance or you might not have enough time to respond. Wear the "kill cord" around your wrist to prevent a runaway jet ski in case you get knocked off.
Many states require a bating license to operate one. You should be able to find a school that will help you acquire it. A license should cost a few hundred dollars at most.
Once you pass, you'll be able to go in water that's too shallow for boats. Jet skis also give the feeling you're going much faster than you are. The wind whipping over you might make you feel like some kind of ninja on a water motorcycle.
4. Canoeing or Kayaking
It's recommended to begin in a lake or bay. This will let you get the hang of things. As you progress, you can move on to rivers or even oceans. Make sure to bring maps and compasses and a few days of supplies if you canoe or kayak on the more dangerous places.
This is a fantastic way to exercise and enjoy the peace of silence. You can put your mind at ease for a few hours to come back to civilization feeling refreshed.
Check a map to get a basic feel of the water and its hazards. Its advised to hire a guide or bring an experienced friend to make sure everything goes perfectly. Don't go near areas with strong currents on your first few times out.
Make sure to not lean your weight. Tipping over is no fun. Some kayaks and canoes tips more easily than others.
5. Stand-Up Paddle Boarding
This is a growing sport and has even been included by the Olympics. It's like kayaking and surfing combined. A big reason it's popular is it gives you a full body workout.
You basically stand on a board and use a paddle to move yourself. You may be glad to hear that it's not as hard as it may sound. After a few splashes, you'll get the hang of things. The boards are usually quite more buoyant than you'd likely expect.
Some people even bring a picnic with them to enjoy their food out in the middle of the water. Others use their stand-up board for surfing. The larger size usually makes it a little less thrilling to shred a few waves.
Make sure to use a life jacket and a safety whistle. Paddle boards are classified as vessels by the Coast Guard. This will make sure you don't get tickets or hurt in an accident.
General Safety Tips
These activities may seem dangerous at first. Follow a few common measures to stay safe:
1. Wear A Life Jacket.
This will keep you from drowning in almost all cases. Even great swimmers can get exhausted after a day on the water.
2. Ease Into The Throttle.
Everyone can wait for you to impress them once you get the hang of things. Many accidents happen from someone trying to take a cool selfie or consuming more beverages than they should.
This will help you fall at an angle to avoid belly flops. Tuck your head if you feel yourself falling too.
3. Always Wear Sunscreen.
This might sound very lame. The reality is that spending time on the sun in the middle of the water increases your sun exposure. Water will reflect the sun's rays on your skin. Too much can lead to skin cancer.
Sunscreen lowers this risk and keeps your skin looking young. Put it on every 20 to 30 minutes and you should be fine.
4. Drink Plenty Of Water
It's too easy to forget about your body's needs when you're having fun. The sun will still cause you to dehydrate. Take a break every hour or so to sip water. Bring a few bottles per person and keep the bottles in a cooler.
You can read a more in depth safety guide here.
Final Thoughts On Summer Water Sports
There are many water activities to help you stay cool in the summer. As long as you keep the basics in mind you will do well. Safety doesn't have to be a hassle once you cover the basics. Water sports are a cool way to enjoy the summer heat waves.

The European Union on Thursday awarded its top rights honour, the Sakharov Prize, to Mahsa Amini, the Iranian Kurdish woman who died in Iranian custody a year ago, and the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement her death triggered.
"The brutal murder of 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini marked a turning point. It has triggered a women-led movement that is making history," European Parliament speaker Roberta Metsola said, using Amini's Kurdish first name as she announced the award.
Metsola said the movement's three-word slogan was "a rallying cry for all those standing up for equality, for dignity, and for freedom in Iran".
The EU prize announcement comes two weeks after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to an imprisoned Iranian rights campaigner, Narges Mohammadi.
Amini died age 22 on September 16, 2022, while being held by Iran's religious police for allegedly breaching the Islamic republic's strict dress code for women.
Her family and supporters say she was killed. Iranian authorities claim she died in custody from a previously undisclosed medical condition.
Her death triggered mass protests in Iran.
It also generated a global movement known as "Woman, Life, Freedom", calling for the end of Iran's imposition of a headscarf on all women and an end to the Muslim cleric-led government in Tehran.
Iranian security forces have cracked down on the protests domestically, killing hundreds, and have executed dozens for allegedly participating in what officials have called "riots".
This week, they jailed Amini's lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht, for one year for "propaganda" after he spoke to media about her case.
Many Iranian women continue to defy the government's clothing edict by taking off their headscarves in public.
The "Woman, Life, Freedom" campaign continues in cities around the world, with frequent demonstrations in which Amini's photo is held aloft.
Mohammadi's Nobel Peace Prize was in recognition of her fight against the mandatory headscarf in Iran and against the oppression of women in the country.
Together, the two prizes focus attention on Iranian authorities' punishment of women who defy the headscarf order, seen by both sides as defiance of the Islamic republic's system of governance itself.
Amini and the "Woman, Freedom, Life" movement were backed by the European Parliament's three main political groups, making them the frontrunner well before the Sakharov Prize winner was announced.
The two other nominations on the shortlist, backed by smaller groups, were Nicaraguan rights defenders, Vilma Nunez de Escorcia and Bishop Rolando Jose Alvarez Lagos; and three women campaigning for abortion rights, Justyna Wydrzynska from Poland, Morena Herrera from Salvador and Colleen McNicholas from the United States.
Billionaire Elon Musk had been put forward in an initial round by a far-right grouping in the parliament but failed to make the cut for the shortlist.
The Sakharov Prize, which comes with a 50,000-euro ($53,000) endowment, will be handed over in a European Parliament ceremony on December 13.

Following on from my previous blog post - this is a letter sent by MacGregor Mathers to Brodie-Innes in 1909 asking for support in stopping Crowley from continiung to publish the (until then) secret rituals of the Golden Dawn.
Some points of interest:
Mathers doesn't seem to know, or affects not to know, if Brodie-Innes is still connected with the Golden Dawn. The "scission" he refers to is the split in the original Golden Dawn in 1900, which was the outcome of a power struggle between Mathers in Paris and the London temple. The flashpoint of this struggle being the attempt by Aleister Crowley, acting on Mathers' behalf, to gain control of the Order's room and properties in Blythe Road, London. W. B. Yeats was involved in expelling Crowley (who was dressed as a Scottish Highlander and also masked "incognito") from the property in scenes which resemble a knockabout comedy.
Mathers is clearly furious at Crowley, as well he might be. Apart from the (in this case) slightly tricky question of copyright, the secrecy oath taken by all Initiates should have (at least in theory) prevented Crowley from publishing the rituals and papers.
Brodie-Innes appears to be taking a hands-off approach, which, given the unflattering attention the case aroused in the press, was probably the wisest course of action. Several newspapers covered the case, there was much "laughter in Court".
The legal outcome was that Mather's applied for an injunction to prevent the publication and his application failed.
This is how is was reported in the Press:
Publishing the Secrets of the Rosicrucian Order.
Reference to the Rosicrucian Order was made in an interlocutors application in MacGregor v. Crowley,in the Court of Appeal on Monday. The Rosicrucian Order is an organisation instituted in its modern form in 1888 for the study of mystical philosophy and the mysteries of antiquity, and following somewhat on the lines of Freemasonry. The plaintiff in the action, the Comte Lidell Macgregor, The Avenue, Beckenham, is chief or head of the Order, and the defendant, Mr. Aleister Crowley, is editor of a journal called "The Equinox," which is published half-yearly at the two equinoctial days in the year. It was also stated by counsel that he had been expelled from the Order.
Pending an action, the plaintiff had obtained from Mr. Justice Bucknill an interim injunction restraining the defendant from publishing in the third number of the magazine an account of the initiation ceremony of the Order, the claim being that this was in violation of a contract to maintain secrecy as to the proceedings of the Order, and in violation of plaintiff's copyright in the proceedings of the Order.
The Temple of Solomon.
It was stated that the reason these proceedings had been delayed until the new number of the magaxine had been printed and was on the eve of issue, was that the plaintiff could not find the editor's address, which now transpired to be 124, Victoria Street.
Mr. Whately said the second number of "The Equinox," published last September, contained an article entitled, "The Temple of Solomon the King." in which reference was made to the meetings of the Order of Rosicrucians, and there was a notice to the effect that the publication would be continued in the March number. The matter was in the form of a serial.
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: Was it a romance ?
Mr. Whately: I do not know, my lord, I cannot describe it. (Laughter.)
Proceeding, counsel submitted that there was no contract, and no cause of action. Neither was there any obligation on the part of his client to the plaintiff. If there was any obligation to anybody it was to the society, and that could not be a legal obligation, because they were a voluntary association, and were not the plaintiffs. As to the rights of the plaintiff being infringed, those rights had not been identified.
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams understood that each member of the Order held all the other members under an implied contract not to disclose what took place at the meetings.
A Pledge of Secrecy.
Sir F. Low said that was the case put to the judge. There were no rules, but apparently there was a pledge of secrecy given.
Mr. Whately, continuing, said the defendant had prepared the articles complained of from old books which were perfectly well known, and not from anything of which the plaintiff possessed the copyright. If the publication of the next number of the magazine was stopped, the publication would practically be stopped altogether, because the subscribers would be scattered. Ahhough the action was based on something that appeared in the September number, not a word was heard of it until the March number had been printed.
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: That is a question of pounds, shillings, and pence.
Mr. Whately: It is a very serious matter for my client.
Sir F. Low: Our complaint is that wherever our ritual was got from, it was a gross breach of faith for the defendant, after being admitted and allowed to attend the meetings, and then being expelled the Order, to start publishing this matter.
Lord Justice Moulton: He has as much right to publish what is in the old books about the Rosicrucians as anybody else.
Sir F. Low: He is not entitled to publish a ritual ceremonv which he had pledged himself to secrecy about, even if it was got from the Bible.
Letting the Cat out of the Bag.
Lord Justice Moulton: Anybody who knows anything about these societies knows that the ritual of most of them has been published.
Sir F. Low: Your lordship must not ask me to admit that.
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: I have not observed any indication that you are, either of you, Masons. (Laughter.)
Sir F. Low : I don't propose to give your lordship any, either. (Laughter.) This society is in no way a Masonic society.
Lord Justice Farwell said he could understand the publication of a trade secret doing a person irreparable injury, but he could not see how any damage, irreparable or otherwise, could be done by the publication in question. .
Sir F. Low: If it is done it will irreparable because the cat will be out of the bag.
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: But so much of the cat came out of the bag in September. (Laughter.)
A Dead Cat.
Lord Justice Farwell: And I think it is a dead cat. (Laughter.)
Sir F. Low : But if they have let out one they may let out another. Counsel suggested that the defendant had been actuated in the matter by a desire for revenge for his expulsion from the society.
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: I see the plaintiff savs he is "the earthly chief" of the Order, and subject to the guidance of the "Spiritual'' Order. .
Lord Justice Farwell: What is the "Spiritual Order"? (Laughter.)
Sir F. Low : I cannot go into it, my lord. It is clear the spiritual head would not be answerable for costs. (Laughter.)
Lord Justice Vaughan Williams thought the appeal ought to succeed, and the injunction be discharged. The plaintiff had delayed his action until just before he publication of the new number of the magazine, whereas he might have proceeded a month or six weeks ago, before the printing began. He did not decide, however, on that ground alone, but he also thought that the publication could do the plaintiff no harm, in view of what appeared in the last number of "The Equinox."
Lord Justice Moulton and Lord Justice Farwell agreed.
The appeal was accordingly allowed, with costs.

They will drop leaves in winter regardless, part of the regeneration process, replacing them when growth starts again. A couple of years ago I overwintered one of mine in an outdoor annex with very little light. Reappeared almost completely bald. It recovered. Light is important. This year I enclosed the covered pergola with heavy-duty plastic walls which allowed tons of light. I monitored the moisture levels, watering with tepid water a couple of times over the winter. All the citrus thrived.

It's only a couple of years old, isn't it? Shouldn't need pruning except to take out dead or ailing wood. Tepid water is better for watering over winter so as not to shock the roots too much. Otherwise water out of the tap.

pjb I got one last spring/summer from the garden center and it was a nice plant all healthy and had fruit on it and healthy leaves. I fed it with a citrus feed and watered when needed followed online advice and within about a month or two all the leaves had dropped off and then all the fruit fell off too, very disappointing as I saw some of the fruit swell and get bigger! I had to take it back to the garden center thankfully they gave me a refund. But I might try again this year just to see if I was actually doing anything wrong or if it was the tree!!

I'm not the best person to offer such advice ( my lemon tree only enjoyed a short life), but my dads is about 10 yrs old. It spends the spring/summer out on the patio and is returned to a sheltered unheated greenhouse for the autumn/winter. It is now loaded with fruit, hth

Prier introduces irrigation valve with built-in elbow
June 11, 2021 | By HPAC Magazine
The exterior plumbing product makes services systems easier.
PRIER Products has launched its new irrigation valve, the P-6IV, that comes with a built-in elbow that swivels to allow for easy installation. Its design also allows servicing from the exterior of the building.
While most installations require a contractor to enter the home to drain down a system for winterization, the new valve can be accessed from the outside, which means the homeowner doesn't need to be home or provide access to the contractor for annual servicing.
The heavy-pattern cast brass hydrant with a nickel-plated body resists corrosion and should last the life of the plumbing system. The valve also offers a patented triple-seal positive shutoff system.
The P-6IV is available in 12 lengths to suit a wide range of installation needs.

"They're fine. Well, genuinely, they're fine. Emily's perfect. Gina's fine. [But] I don't have a relationship with them. We don't talk. There's no [commonality]."

It hasn't on the grounds that the evaluations have gone down." Regardless of the 60-year-old's comments, Emily will probably be getting back to the show for her fifth season in succession in the not so distant future, as per In Touch Weekly.
