My great grandfather, Woodson Smith, was a very nice man. He always seemed to have a certain slow pace of movement that never changed.
He and his family farmed for a living. When people would come to the field to talk, he would usually sit with his mule nearby.
Great-grandfather believed in trading anything as long as you were satisfied with it. His brother-in-law lived on the farm as a tenant farmer. He had a bad habit of trading horses. Most people with horses met in Manchester and traded on Jockey Day. Jockey day was generally on the first court day of Spring.
My mamaw tells that her uncle would trade horses while working in the field. She also tells that she always looked forward to Jockey Day. That was the day she knew she would get to see her father really angry.

My granny's name is Lettie Mae (Minton) Goins. My papaw's name is Shade Goins. My mom had seven brothers and nine sisters.
My mom went to a one roomed school house for three years. It was called Letch Hacker School.
My Papaw farmed and worked at a coal tipple. My mom was raised on a farm. They raised about twenty-five acres of tobacco for themselves and other people. All the kids helped work in the fields. They also raised most of their own food. They canned their own food also.
My mom and her sisters made dolls out of sacks. They used corn silks for doll hair sometimes. My mom had to walk to school for three years. My mom has lived on Ham Hollow for the past fourteen years.

The Seattle Seahawks called a police investigation of an alleged assault and personal property damage claim against running back Marshawn Lynch "bogus" on Tuesday.
The Bellevue Police (Wash.) Department said Monday in a release that the 28-year-old Lynch was accused by an unspecified female victim over an alleged incident at a downtown Bellevue apartment unit at 2:30 a.m. PT Sunday.
The case does not involve domestic violence or sexual assault, police said. Police said they are still gathering facts. No arrests have been made.
"While we maintain the utmost respect for the investigative process, after speaking with Marshawn, we are comfortable these accusations are bogus," a Seahawks spokesman said.
Here is the press release from the police:
"On August 10, 2014, at approximately 2:20 p.m., the Bellevue Police Department received an allegation of an assault and personal property damage at a downtown Bellevue apartment unit. The incident was alleged to have occurred at 2:30 a.m. on August 10. The female victim alleged that the suspect was Marshawn T. Lynch. No domestic violence or sexual assault was involved in the allegation. The case has been assigned to a detective and is an active investigation. The Bellevue Police Department is in the process of gathering the facts of this alleged incident, including verifying whether or not Mr. Lynch was in fact involved. No arrests have been made. There is no further information available at this time."
Bellevue Police Department spokesman Seth Tyler said there is no further information at this time and reiterated that "this is only an allegation. We haven't even verified that he was involved," according to the Seattle Times.
Lynch participated throughout Sunday's practice, having what coach Pete Carroll said later was "a very good practice."
The Seahawks returned to practice Tuesday.
Lynch missed the first eight days of training camp after holding out for changes in his contract, which is starting the third year of a $30 million deal.
Lynch returned after the Seahawks added $500,000 from 2015 salary to his 2014 money, along with guaranteeing $1 million in bonus incentives for 2014. That has raised his 2014 base salary from $5 million to $6.5 million.

I've heard doctors say that vaccines did not eradicate smallpox or polio, and in fact the outbreaks did not decrease after the vaccine was introduced.....what did eradicate those diseases then?
If you could post any sources that would be appreciated.
Thank you
Unfortunatly there is mass ignorance on the subject of vaccinations. Your doctor and the drug companies would like you to believe that vaccinations have indead erradicated serious threats to human health. But that is very wrong.
I do not believe that your average doctor or nurse is intentionally trying to harm you or your child when they suggest vaccinations.
They, sadly, are just as ignorant as the mass public, and choose to believe the drug companies claimes that vaccinations are the answer.
Reference the charts below.... In most (if not all cases) these miracle vaccinations that "erradicated" these terrible diseases were only introduced AFTER a major fall in the death rate due to the disease.
Polio deaths were almost nonexistant BEFORE the vaccine was introduced- and there was a minor rise in deaths after the introduction. Several years after the definintion of polio was changed and all deaths were blaimed on other diseases...
The doctors , assuming the vaccination was flawless, saw patients who appeared to have polio and had been vaccinated and thought it couldnt have possibly been polio ! And therefor the diagnosis was not polio
This web site contains some very interesting information about polio
"Polio has not been eradicated by vaccination, it is lurking behind a redefinition and new diagnostic names like viral or aseptic meningitis.......According to one of the 1997 issues of the MMWR, there are some 30,000 to 50,000 cases of viral meningitis per year in the United States alone. That's where all those 30,000 - 50,000 cases of polio disappeared after the introduction of mass vaccination"---Viera Scheibner
Polio has not been erradicated but meerly redifined. Since the introduction of the vaccine and the supposed "erradication" of this disease new cases of polio are now labeled as other dieseases i am sure you have heard of
Viral or aseptic meningitis, Guillaine Barre Syndrome (GBS), Chinese Paralytic syndrome, CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, epidemic cholera, cholera morbus, spinal meningitis, spinal apoplexy, inhibitory palsy, intermittent fever, famine fever, worm fever, bilious remittent fever, ergotism, ME, post-polio syndrome, acute flaccid paralysis Synonyms for GBS]
There has also been similarity drawn to pellagra, beriberi, and other deficiency diseases.
I encourage you to research polio and some of these other diseases to see the similarities for yourself
Nutritional deficiencies! If you do some of your own research on food around the turn of the last century you will find that for the first time in history of mankind the mass public has turned entirely to store bought processed foods instead of growing raising and making all of their own food.
Outbreaks of Beri beri ( the deficiency disease listed above) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriberi, and mental insanity were reported after wheat processors and distrubuters began to take the wheat germ out of their flour to produce a longer lasting product. The wheat germ contains vital nutrients ( specifically thiamine b1)but also causes the flour to spoil quicker. This also applies to many other grains and foods. As it seems the vitamin rich parts of the food cause spoilage they are removed so that food suppliers can store the items for long peroids of time.
Food companies began to ENRICH ( ever look at your box of morning cereal, it has most likely been enriched) their products with synthetic vitamins to make up for the vitamins lost during processing.
This seems to have cleared up most of the major ( and OBVIOUS) health problems caused by food processing. However i strongly believe that this food enriched with synthetic vitamins still pales in comparison to real whole food
So now , because vaccinations have been touted as the cure for these diseases people get more and more vaccinations instead of strengthening their bodies with good nutrition.
Another note on polio vaccinations.
Between 1955 and 1963 at least 30 million doses of polio vaccination were contaminated with SV40 a monkey virus that has been linked to several times of cancer including brain and mesothelioma
THis is fact check out the information on the CDC website
There have been many reports of other vaccinations being contaminated
for example recently ( THIS YEAR) there has been pig Virus DNA Found in Rotarix vaccination given to children
If you follow your doctors direction in regards to your childs health they will suggest up to 50 doses of vaccination by the age of 5.
If you do your own research you will find that ,like these early vaccinations, there is very little proof that ANY vaccination works, along with lots of proof that vaccines cause many health problems.
The risks outweigh any perceived benefit-- especially when we are dealing with young, developing children
Nutrition is the answer
not vaccination
MaikU:In any discussion involving science or medicine, citing Whale.to as a credible source loses you the argument immediately..and gets you laughed out of the room.
I don't know the answer to the OP, but this Mises daily article explains the history behind people injecting us with poison for a living.
Back in the 1800s, mainstream medicine was called allopathy. It consisted of "bloodletting and high-dose injections of metal and metalloid compounds containing mercury or antimony." Homeopaths, on the other hand, emphasized diet, hygiene, and stress-reduction. Unsurprisingly, homeopathy worked sometimes and allopathy didn't. So in 1910, the Carnegie Foundation stepped in, labeled the homeopaths "quacks," and closed down all the medical schools except those that would support the pharmaceutical industry.
It's one of the best Mises dailies I've read so far. Fascinating stuff.
I notice that your data, wherever it came from (I don't consider data without a source to be credible, by the way) does not even bother providing the data for the textbook example for the advocacy of vaccines: small pox. Ergo, it is guilty of sample bias.
Abstract liberty, like other mere abstractions, is not to be found.
- Edmund Burke
Again, without wanting to do too much research, I have procured the following:
source: Sinclair, I. , 1992: Vaccination: the hidden facts, Ian Sinclair, Ryde, NSW.
It appears in this article on smallpox.
Anyway, as far as I can see, some vaccines seems to really nab the disease, and some don't. I think vaccines are one method of stopping disease. I don't think we should let the failure of vaccines from 50 or more years ago discourage what we think current vaccine treatments can do. By the same token, there's a lot to be said about the role of nutrition in a healthy immune system.
Here's a random theory:
Vaccines actually did work for smallpox, successfully eradicating the disease. Then someone said, "Hey, let's figure out vaccines for all these other terrible diseases. That would be great!" Unfortunately, none of the other vaccines worked very well. But since they worked for smallpox, everyone was grateful for this "miracle" technology and got the shots anyway. Vaccine companies started making a lot of dough. As the evidence that the vaccines didn't actually work gradually built up, it was discredited or suppressed to protect big pharma's interests. So today we're stuck with a few vaccines that actually work and a whole bunch that do nothing except give us horrible side-effects.
I have Lyme disease, which is caused by a really nasty bacteria called a spirochete (same organism that causes syphilus). A Lyme vaccine called LYMErix developed by GlaxoSmithKline was approved by the FDA in 1998. It was a complete and utter failure, which is no surprise if you actually understand the complexity of the disease. Hardly anyone bought it, and many recipients experienced bad side effects. It was pulled from the market in 2002. Meanwhile, all the "experts" at the CDC and IDSA who developed the "official" guidelines for treating Lyme (which are completely arbitrary and cause doctors to mistreat the disease) had huge stakes in the development of the vaccine. The guidelines also serve the Insurance industry by saving from paying for long-term antibiotic treatment. And guess what? The doctors who wrote the guidelines were also insurance company cronies.
The pharmaceutical industry does not want to cure diseases. Farmers do not want hunger to disappear. Like war is the health of the state, disease is the health of big pharma. It's no wonder that none of their synthetic concoctions work, and that they constantly suppress the healing power of natural substances, which are harder to profit from.
I thought smallpox was a relatively unique disease, in that humans had been inoculating themselves against it for thousands of years via varying methods/rituals?
In any case, these graphs depict the mortality rates of the diseases. I'm inclined to think mortality rates would decline in the latter part of the 19th century and into the 20th century by virtue of the industrial revolution, not necessarily vaccines. What I'm interested in is the prevalence of infection following vaccinations, as many of these diseases are rather minor and survivable in any case. Is there in data on that?
You post graphs like that on an Austrian economics board? The school of economics that rejects empiricism? Let's look at some lurking variables.
1. Transition from war-time. Was Polio contracted because of travelling to other places during WWII? Why don't we have any info before 1950? WWI looks to have caused spikes in some of these diseases.
2. Healthcare was becoming better overall.
3. Penicillin! Whopping cough is caused by a bacteria. Scarlet fever is caused by a bacteria. Diphtheria is caused by a bacteria. Around the 1940s Penicillin was introduced.
4. Cleanliness. As we grow richer, sanitation becomes better. As such, you'll get lower contraction of diseases.
I wouldn't think that this kind of irrational skepticism would be present on this board. There is all the scientific basis for vaccines in the world. If you distrust vaccines then you just don't understand the immune system. I'm studying science so that we'll progress and people will live longer despite the ranting of people arguing irrationally about something they know nothing about.
Yes, I am a huge Dodgers fan.
Anti-state since I learned about the Cuban Revolution and why my dad had to flee the country.
Beer, Guns and Baseball My blog
I just listened to a LR podcast, and the contributor Dr. Miller talked about vaccienes, polio and smallpox among them. One Dr. Miller's articles was "a user friendly guide to vaccienes". I found it fascinating, as I have 2 daughters and the amount of vaccienes "reccommended" is truly staggering. He has some other great topics too that go quite against the medical establishment.
As someone who read a few different books (from mainstream to definitely not mainstream) on vaccines, I think it's safe to say this is a highly contentious issue. Do vaccines work? Yes, most likely so. However, there can be (and are) significant risks involved.
As for smallpox and polio, both diseases were on the decline when the vaccines were introduced. Some diseases (bubonic plague, anyone?) went away on their own so it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility they would've been eradicated naturally. The rise of sewage systems, access to clean water, overall improvements in nutrition, overall improvements in medicine, urban sprawl, and other factors all contributed to the decline of these highly contagious diseases. To say vaccines solely eradicated various diseases is, in my opinion, to take a very narrow view of epidemiology.
Also, I assume everyone here is weary of government intervention in free markets. This also holds true for vaccines; you should also be very weary of the significant conflicts of interest inherent in the CDC. As an example, one of the doctors (Dr. Paul Offit) who helps decides (or, at the very least, did decide) the vaccine schedule also holds a co-patent on a rotavirus vaccine. Hmmm...
For someone looking into vaccines, check out this video on YouTube for a pretty level-headed discussion on the risks and benefits of vaccines as well as the history of some of the vaccines and diseases (most of the reference material is taken directly from the CDC itself).
I think we can all agree, that whoever eradicated such deseases.. it wasn't the government, lol.
Science and knowledge is the answer, not propaganda and scare-tactics by ignorant people from anti-vaccine and anti-science movments.. In short, think critically. When I want to know the truth in some field, I look for the expert and not amateur opinion. If I want to know if vaccines work, I ask this question immunologist, not chiropractor or homeopathic "doctor".
(english is not my native language, sorry for grammar.)
Then i encourage you to do so
The information i posted is not at all anti science So do not group the two together
Those graphs are misleading. Vaccines are supposed to prevent infection. Show us the infection rates, those graphs mean next to nothing in this context
Those graphs are misleading. Vaccines are supposed to prevent infection. Show us the infection rates, those graphs mean next to nothing in this context
Exactly. Vaccines are for preventing infections, not for healing already existing infections. For the latter you need antibiotics or other drugs. In any case, basic hygiene and good nutrition prevents many infections and helps the immune system, respectively.

A state water board report on water rights issues associated with California American Water's proposed Peninsula project is now available for review and comment.
The revised draft report, conducted in response to a request from the state Public Utilities Commission in September, outlines the project's potential water rights issues with regards to plans to draw brackish water from shoreline intake wells tapping the overdrafted Salinas Valley groundwater basin north of Marina. The wells would be a feeder source for Cal Am's planned desalination plant.
The report also makes a series of recommendations on how Cal Am could attempt to prove its pumping plans would not injure other basin water users and how it could offset any impacts to the basin from the proposed pumping.
The plant and its feeder wells are at the core of Cal Am's proposed $400 million Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project, which is designed to provide a new water source to offset a state water board-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River due to take full effect by the start of 2017.
Public comments on the report will be accepted until noon May 3. The report is available on the state water board's website.
After the public comment period has closed, the state water board will make any needed revisions to the report before it is discussed at a future board meeting. The board is tentatively scheduled to hold a meeting on the Peninsula this summer to consider the report.
The report suggests Cal Am should be given an opportunity to show the water it draws from the basin qualifies as "surplus" to current uses, and to show it can effectively mitigate any lowering of water levels in the basin — perhaps by paying for increased pumping costs or upgraded wells, or by returning any freshwater extracted through the wells to the basin.
According to the report, key factors in proving the absence of harm to other basin water users include:
· Whether pumping affects the water table level in existing users' wells and if Cal Am can effectively mitigate any impact.
· How Cal Am could return any freshwater portion of extracted feeder water to the basin, perhaps through re-injection wells, percolation basins or existing recharge programs.
· How groundwater rights might adjust in the future if the proportion of freshwater to seawater in the feeder source changes, both in the overall basin and in the immediate area around the proposed intake wells.
The report suggested that answering those questions will require a number of different studies on:
· The sand dunes aquifer where Cal Am plans to extract feeder water, along with the Salinas Valley aquifer and a deeper, 180-foot aquifer.
· The effects of test wells on the basin.
· Future impacts on the basin through updated groundwater modeling capable of predicting changes in levels, flow direction and the extent and boundary of the seawater front.
Those studies, the report said, will form the basis for a plan that "avoids injury to other groundwater users and protects beneficial uses" in the basin.
Cal Am officials have stood by their contention that their plans won't affect the basin and that any impact can be mitigated.
But agricultural interest groups, including the Salinas Valley Water Coalition, have expressed grave concerns that the pumping could end up harming the basin by reversing progress made on slowing the advance of seawater inland, ruining millions of dollars in water projects designed to offset seawater intrusion in the area.
They have vowed to legally oppose any attempt to draw from the prized 180-foot aquifer portion of the basin.

ooh i just made some checkerboard cookies! used beet juice for the red. blue not invited!
All of them looks so great! Especially frozen popsickles...since it is like 100 degrees outside!
I always like to do red, white and blue triffle for the 4th. It's easy and great for picnics.
Buy or make and angel food cake. Cube it. That's layer 1.
Mix 2/3 of a tub of cool whip with two cups vanilla pudding. Layer 2.
Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries are layer 3.
Just keep layering until you run out. Top with the rest of the cool whip and a few berries.
OH my gosh, those ice cream sundaes from Bake at 350 are WONDERFUL!!!
that toast is adorable
Happy Canada Day! I'm going to the in-laws tonight for a West-Coast BBQ, and I'll bring something one of these, and just leave out the blueberries to keep with the red and white theme of things :)

What's new in the Mises Wiki?
Help us to create the best resource on all things Austrian!
Mises Wiki | Economic Resources and Books (search engine)
What's new in the Wiki?
Oh yeah. 24 KB.
Hell yeah!
Now that's some good news!
Yeah, that ate up my entire day...
Beauty can be painful! ;)
I have read everything. It's good :)
Added a few more links just for the heck of it. :)
As you've noticed, I added my meatpacking article. Sorry for the bad reference style, I didn't know how you made it last time.
I am angry at myself that I didn't get more articles out. Gah. Matthew wins again >:(
Don't worry about the formatting of the references, I've fixed them. It would be cool to find some resources that the ones around frequently mention - like the law itself, the commitee discussions leading to it; and Roosevelt's letter about Sinclair, where (according to one claim) he says he was "useful'.
In general though, I'm not sure if "Meat packing" is the best title for the page - how about "Meat packing in the US", since the page only applies to that topic, and only to one specific event?
As for the win, don't beat yourself up. Will you take part in the next contest?
Maybe "meat inspection"?
I've read that Roosevelt said that Sinclair lied on 3/4 of all counts and was despicable or something.
And I hope to take part in future contests, yes.
Hey, question. While looking for more sources to improve articles on the Wiki I'd like to be able to store them on the Wiki. Can I add a section along the lines of "Material to be added in?"
Well, you can easily use the Links section of the page and later simply take a link out of there. Alternatively, the Talk pages are eminently useful for that sort of thing (especially if you want to comment about what to include, what not, etc.) - and somebody else may also pick that up and use it.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the MTX RTS8-44 by John Pollard What's a component sub and why would I want one? A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back. MTX's Road Thunder subs dish out heavy-hitting bass in your ride, perfect for filling out rock, R&B, jazz, classical, or anything else on your playlist. The RTS8-44 sub features an 8" polypropylene cone supported by a big rubber surround that resists cracking or separating. The sub's cooling system features forced-air venting in the stamped solid-steel frame that keeps the voice coils cool. The uniquely shaped spider assembly and extended pole piece ensure linear cone movement, so your bass sounds full, deep, and clean. Dual 4-ohm voice coils allow you to wire this sub for 2- or 8-ohm impedance, giving you more flexibility in setting up your system. MTX optimizes this Road Thunder sub for sealed, ported, and bandpass enclosures so you can choose the type of bass you want in your ride. And MTX protects this sub with their unique 5-year warranty.

Features Enclosure Compatibility Warranty Features Cone Design: The woofer uses a polypropylene cone with a raised MTX Audio logo. The NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) surrounds are resistant to ozone and UV rays for extreme durability. Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: This woofer features dual 4-ohm voice coils, offering wiring flexibility. When the voice coils are wired in parallel the woofer presents a 2-ohm load. When the voice coils are wired in series the woofer presents an 8-ohm load. Voice Coil: The 1-1/2" diameter, eight layer voice coil is designed for high power handling and large linear excursion. Asymmetrical Linear Drive System (ALDS): The Asymmetrical Linear Drive System consists of a flat, progressive spider that improves suspension and an extended pole piece that smoothes out the cone's linear motion. The result is high output and low distortion. Spider Plateau Venting: Heat from the voice coil is vented through metal-mesh covered vents that surround the back of the spider. As the woofer travels back and forth, cool air is pulled in and heated air is pushed out. Terminals: The woofer features two pair of heavy-duty chrome spring post terminals which can accept single banana plugs, pin connectors or bare wire up to 10-gauge. Enclosure Compatibility Sealed Box: For the best possible sound quality where space is a premium MTX recommends a sealed enclosure with an internal volume of 0.5 ft³. Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all types of music. Vented Box: The recommended vented box has a net internal volume of 1.0 ft³ with a slotted port 10-1/2" x 2" x 22-1/2". Vented (or ported) enclosures typically provide better overall efficiency than sealed so they are suitable for use with smaller amplifiers, giving you more bass output from less power. Warranty 5 Year Warranty Terms: This product carries a 5-Year Prorated Warranty with the following terms: Years 1-2: Products found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the first two years will be, at Mitek's option, repaired or replaced by Mitek at no charge. The warranty period does not renew, but continues on from the original date of purchase. Years 3-5: The purchase price of an item which becomes defective after the first two years and prior to the end of the warranty period will be prorated and credited toward the purchase of a new MTX product. The amount of proration is determined by dividing the original purchase price by the number of months in the warranty period (60), then multiplying the result by the number of months remaining in the warranty period.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Very impressed. Written By (sic), Sacramento, Ca on Sunday, January 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I originally purchased this to replace the factory woofer in my wife's 2002 Ford Expedition. But four days after putting it in (it sounded good but a better amp would have really made it sing) the amp totally died. So I borrowed an amp and a sealed box from a friend and now i'm running it in my 1990 Acura Integra. It sounds great playing my rock, metal, and some dubstep. Pros: Nice sound. Has a decently hard hit considering the size. In a sealed box it plays rock and metal really well. Some dubstep songs sound pretty good. Cons: Doesn't carry a long note, even in a vented box, so I wouldn't recommend for rap or electronica listeners. Was this review helpful?

I needed some more bottom end to compliment the Harmon Kardon sound in my 2012 Mini Cooper S. Space is a premium and I did not want a huge box. So this 8" in a sealed enclosure sounds incredible and people ask if it is a 10" or more when they hear it. Clean high wattage can make an 8" as lethal as anything else if designed and tuned properly. My first MTX and I'm impressed. Pros: Great value, great sound, can take power cleanly, shallow mount depth Cons: Possibly smaller magnet, but that helps it be shallow mount and no performance loss 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Houseplants are not something that worked well for me in the past, so I did a little research that might be helpful for you, too, if you are looking to add a houseplant or two to your home.
Understanding the specifics of what a houseplant needs will help you select the right plant for the right location. Most can be grouped into three levels of light requirement.
Low light is bright shade, well away from windows and on an interior wall or in a corner with no direct sun.
Medium light means some direct morning sunlight from a northeast- or northwest-facing window that provides light most of the day.
High or bright light refers to areas with a western or southern exposure.
Generally, a low-light plant will thrive in both low and medium light. A plant with a high light requirement can live in either high or medium light. However, low-light plants will not thrive in a high-light area, and vice versa.
Select full, bushy plants with sweet, fresh-smelling soil.
Gently remove the plant from the pot in which you bought it to inspect the root ball. The plant will need to be re-potted right away if the root ball is a mass of roots with very little soil. Otherwise, just set the plant inside a container that complements your home decor.
Get in the habit of checking your plants every five days or so for water. A well-watered plant looks healthy with firm leaves. Plants that are in need of water lose their sheen and may be a little limp.
Adding a little liquid fertilizer once a month keeps your plants happy.
Some tough, carefree houseplants you might want to start with are devil's ivy (Pothos, low light), corn plant (Dracena, low to medium light), spider plant (Chlorophytum, medium light) and china doll (Radermachera sinica, medium to bright light).
