I was thumbing through a copy of the abysmal Singer magazine when I stumbled upon this guitar:
This is a Les Paul Special guitar "inspired" by the legacy of Bob Marley, manufactured by Epiphone. Who would buy this guitar? For one thing, it's got a guy's face emblazoned on the front. Furthermore, it has Jamaica flag colour fingerboard inlays. Lastly, it has "One Love" emblazoned on the headstock.
Epiphone, once a proud maker of fine archtop guitars, was bought out by Gibson way back and had its manufacturing outsourced to Asia. So Epiphone is now the Gibson for those that can't afford a Gibson. Could the Marley estate not wangle a deal with the mighty Gibson? Is Marley not famous enough? Angus Young has a signature model. So does Tom DeLonge, the guy from Blink 182 who plays nothing but power chords and whose music I could teach to you on our first guitar lesson. Herb Ellis has TWO models.
Now I dig Herb, but I doubt he ever got the feuding political leaders of any nation to shake hands.
Now, most of these artist models reproduce the actual guitar played by the artist. So for example, the Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan limited edition guitar is an utter reproduction of Stevie's main Strat, down to the last scratch and ding. I can see the thrill for a rabid SRV fan in playing what seems to the be the EXACT guitar his idol played. But the Epiphone Marley model looks (and, I suspect, sounds) nothing like the guitar Marley played. For one thing, Marley's own guitar didn't have his face on it. And it was a different model of Les Paul, with soapbar pickups, not the humbuckers in this guitar.
All of these are minor quibbles compared to how gay I would feel bringing this guitar to a gig. I don't care if it played like buttah and its tone made the angels blush. It has "One Love" on the headstock.
The only person that I can imagine buying this guitar is the diehard Marley completist guy (completist collectors are almost always men) who just has to own anything with Marley's name on it. This guy is not necessarily a guitarist. It's just going to hang on his wall. So I say, build the guitar out of Masonite and take the electronics that would have gone in it, and donate them to some poor punk musicians. It's not like anyone's going to notice.Powered by Sidelines

Topic 5 - Ecology
Introduction In our first unit, we will look at making sense of the millions of organisms that live on this Earth, and their interactions. There are approximately 1.5 million different species that have been identified by scientists, of which over half are insects. Estimates are that there are over 10 million or more, that have not been identified.
Introduction continued We need to understand organisms, not just identify them. We need to determine what it eats, how it reproduces, its habitat, interaction with other organisms and its environment. We also need to know our impact on these organisms as well.
Definitions Ecology Ecosystem The study of the relationships between living things and their environment A settled unit of nature consisting of a community of organisms, interacting with each other and the abiotic (non-biological) environment
Definitions (continued) Community Population Habitat All the living organisms in a habitat or ecosystem, which is the total of all the populations All the living organisms of the same species in a habitat, at any one time The locality of physical area in which individuals of a certain species can be found. If the area is extremely small, we call it a microhabitat
Definitions (continued) Species Biomass Biodiversity A group of individuals of common ancestry that closely resemble each other and are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring The total mass or organic matter The variety of life in an ecosystem
Energy and Ecosystems
Definitions Autotrophs (self feeding) Organisms that synthesize its organic molecules from simple organic substances Also called producers Green plants are an example, as they produce their food (glucose) through photosynthesis
Definitions continued Heterotrophs Organisms that obtain organic molecules from other organisms Most of the organisms use only existing nutrients, which they obtain by digestion and then absorb into their cells and tissues for use Also called consumers
Definitions continued Decomposers Detrivore Saprotroph Organisms that ingest dead organic matter, like scavengers and earthworms (putrid feeding) Organisms that live in or on, non-living organic matter, secreting digestive enzymes into it, and absorbing the products of digestion

Populations and Growth
Four Factors that influence a Population Natality - Birth Rate Mortality – Death Rate Immigration – Moving in Emigration – Moving out
Carrying Capacity Populations cannot grow forever, and there comes a time when the growth of a population stabilizes in terms of its numbers The number, or the maximum number of individuals that a particular habitat can support is call the Carrying Capacity (K) Limiting factors, which define the carrying capacity of a habitat include: Availability of resources, such as water, food, sunlight, shelter, space, or gases, such as oxygen in aquatic habitats
Carrying Capacity (cont) Build up of waste, such as excrement or excess carbon dioxide Predation Disease
Population Growth Lag Phase Exponential Growth Phase Organisms are adapting to the new conditions, and very little reproduction occurring (low natality) Organisms numbers increase rapidly, as there is an abundance of nutrients / resources, with little competition High natality and low mortality Little accumulation of waste products
Population Growth (cont) Linear Growth Phase Growth slows due to decrease in natality, but still high, and an increasing mortality rate Checks on growth are due to more competition, less nutrients and more waste Starting to approach carrying capacity Start to see environmental resistance
Population Growth (cont) Plateau Phase There is no new growth, due to the environmental resistance and the population reaching carrying capacity. Natality and mortality are equal as there is a limit to the amount of resources supplied by the environment, maximizing how many individuals can be supported.
Population Growth (S) Curve
Causes of Population Growth Causes of the Exponential Phase Plentiful resource such as food, space or light Little or no competition from other inhabitants Favourable abiotic factors, such as temperature or dissolved oxygen levels Little or no predation or disease
Causes of Population Growth (cont) Causes of the Transitional or Linear Growth Phase With an increase in individuals in the population, there is increasing competition for resources Predators, attracted by a growing food supply, start to move in to the area Large numbers of individuals living together in a limited space, opportunities for diseases to spread within the population increase.
Causes of Population Growth (cont) Causes of the Plateau Phase Space available for growth, such as plants, or shelter is occupied to the maximum Limited food supply, means less available nutrients and organisms tend to have smaller numbers of offspring Increases in predators and disease increase mortality Therefore, birth rate plus immigration is balanced with the number of deaths and number of emigrations Carrying Capacity has been reached Environmental Resistance is observed
Limiting Factors on Population Growth Density-Independent A sudden, rapid change in one or more of the physical or chemical components of the environment may occur. This affects the population regardless of size, and affect the overall size of the population or reducing the birth and death rates. Examples are death due to weather, earthquakes, drought.
Limiting Factors on Population Growth (cont) Density Dependent Effect of other members of the population, and of members of other populations, as the density (numbers of organisms in a given area) increases. Examples are predation, disease or intra-species competition. The effects of these factors increase with increasing population numbers.
Limiting Factors on Population Growth (cont) There are several mechanisms that work with the limiting factors Extrinsic Regulatory Mechanisms – originate outside the population and include biotic as well as physical factors. For example food supplies, natural enemies, disease, weather. Intrinsic Regulatory Mechanisms – originate in the anatomy, physiology and behaviour. Competition is the main regulating mechanism for large groups.
Populations as Units of Structure and Function - Statistics
Random Sample A method to ensure that every individual in a population has an equal chance of being selected
Group Measuring Techniques Capture – Mark – Release – Recapture (Lincoln Index) Allows for random sample Approximate count of organisms in an area Assumes there is no natality, mortality, immigration and emmigration Banding of birds Tagging of larger organisms
Group Measuring Techniques (cont) Quadrat Sampling Method Allows for a simple way to measure population size Allows for a random sample In areas of differing slope or variation (ie. From terrestrial to aquatic), a line transect can be used
Using Statistics to Measure Populations Statistics Mean The mathematics of collection, organization, and interpretation of numerical data, especially the analysis of population characteristics by inference from sampling The average value obtained by dividing the total of a set of values by the number of values
Using Statistics to Measure Populations Median Mode The middle value that separates the higher half of a data set from the lower half of the data The most frequently occurring data observation
Using Statistics to Measure Populations Standard Deviation Mathematical concept used to summarize the spread of variables around a mean. 68% of the values of a normal distribution fall within one standard deviation of the mean (+/-1)
Using Standard Deviation Formula
Using Standard Deviation Steps Find the mean Subtract the mean from all values, and square each difference Add up all answers from the above step Put answer from above into the equation and calculate the SD State the variance by calculating SD +/- mean
Community Interactions Interactions within ecosystems can be: Neutral – neither organism is affected One organism is affected Both organisms are affected Examples are: Symbiosis / Mutualism Parasitism Predation Competition
Cycling of Nutrients
Human Impact on Ecosystems
Greenhouse Effect What is the greenhouse effect? Do we need the greenhouse effect? What is the difference between the greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse Gases Carbon dioxide (CO2) Cellular respiration Combustion Decalcification Carbon monoxide (CO) Incomplete combustion Water vapour (H2O) Occurs naturally, through the water cycle, but product of cellular respiration and combustion
Greenhouse Gases Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Combustion of fossil fuels, refining process of ores Methane (CH3) Naturally occurring, breakdown of organic waste Incomplete combustion Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) Refrigeration / cooling products Breaks down ozone
Is the enhanced greenhouse effect leading to Global Warming or Climate Change?
Precautionary Principle When an activity raises threats of harm, measures should be taken, even if a cause and effect relationship has not been established scientifically. Examples Smoking in Bars Seatbelts
Pros and Cons of implementation in response to Climate Change
What impacts will climate change have on Arctic Ecosystems?

Watch Race (I) Synopsis Online
Race is a 2008 Bollywood movie . Ranvir (Saif Ali Khan) and Rajiv (Akshaye Henna) are half brothers who own a huge stud farm in Durban, South Africa. His half brother Rajiv on the other hand is very laid back, and is also a chronic alcoholic. Sophia (Katrina Kaif) is Ranvir's personal secretary. She adores her boss and loves him. Ranvir is totally unaware of her feeling and regards her adoration as her efficiency. Rajiv hires the same hitman who had attempted to murder Ranvir at the beginning to kill Sonia, revealing that he had been behind the first murder attempt, too. Just as the hitman is about to kill Sonia, Ranvir reappears and rescues her. Ranvir then confronts Rajiv and explains that he had overheard Rajiv discussing the failed murder attempt with the hitman and had been playing along the whole time so he could get the insurance money from his own fake-death and the insurance money from killing Rajiv. Inspector RD takes his $25 million, only to find a bomb in the bag along with the money. The bomb does not detonate, and Ranvir reveals that it was a mere precaution to see if RD would try to betray him and take all the money. Ranvir rewards RD for his relative honesty by allowing him to live, and the two drive off.Race (I),


text: First published in 2008 and now reissued by Bloomsbury Qatar, Khaled AlKhamissi\'s Taxi is regarded by France 24 news as \"the novel that predicted the uprising\" in Egypt. The author\'s narrative is made up of 58 fictional encounters with taxi drivers in Cairo, each one providing an episodic snapshot of a nation full of contradiction and ill at ease. For those unwilling to look up the figures of history these pages rake up, Jonathan Wright\'s faithful translation has been embellished in this edition with footnotes providing details of the rich cast of characters that have populated Egypt\'s recent past, although some of these addenda seem superfluous. But do these journeys foretell the Arab Spring? Yes and no. There is no overwhelming inevitably in these pages, except that Egypt appears in crisis. But then, it could be characterised as a nation in perpetual crisis. Equally, at each turn there are warnings of this year\'s tumultuous events - dissatisfied grumbles here, the seeds of discontent there, the lessons of the past willfully and deliberately unlearnt. For that alone it is worth the ride.

Forest Ecology and Management | Year: 2013
In interior Alaska, increased use of mechanical fuel reduction treatments, increased interests in the use of wood energy systems as alternatives to fossil fuels, and elevated populations of northern spruce engraver, Ips perturbatus (Eichhoff), have raised concerns regarding the impact of this bark beetle to forest resources. We conducted a large-scale field study in 2009-2011 (Study 1) to determine the effects of slash scoring (mechanical by chainsaw versus none), slash distribution (scattered versus decked), and cutting date (spring versus fall) on I. perturbatus colonization of and reproductive performance in white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, slash, and to determine the effects of resulting treatments on adjacent levels of tree mortality caused by I. perturbatus. Unfortunately, attack densities were lower than expected, and did not provide for a very robust examination of the effects of these treatments. As a result, we reproduced several aspects of Study 1 in a second study (2011) using a baited design. Higher levels of I. perturbatus attack and emergence occurred on dispersed logs. Attack densities were highest in the dispersed, unscored treatment, and ∼70% higher than observed in the decked, scored treatment. The scoring of dispersed logs significantly reduced attack densities by ∼28%, but had no effect in decked treatments or on levels of emergence in either treatment. Higher levels of attack and emergence were observed on the tops of logs as compared to the bottoms of logs. Brood production (i.e., defined here as emergence/attacks) was also greater on the tops of logs compared to the bottoms of logs, suggesting the tops of logs are not only more attractive to I. perturbatus, but confer some advantage to brood development. Lower levels of attack and emergence occurred on small diameter logs. Higher levels of attack and emergence were observed on logs in a shaded fuelbreak (i.e., a more open condition of lower tree density) compared to the adjacent forest. Overall, our research suggests that unlike other works on Ips spp. in the western USA that promote the desiccation of slash to minimize colonization and brood production, I. perturbatus appears regulated by the apparency and accessibility of host material. This finding highlights the importance of developing management guidelines based on local science. A third study found two semiochemicals, trans-conophthorin and verbenone, reduced colonization of slash by I. perturbatus, and therefore holds promise as a tool for managing I. perturbatus populations. The implications of these and other results to the management of I. perturbatus in interior Alaska are discussed. © 2012. Source

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment | Year: 2014
Loss of forests due to non-native invasive pests (including insects, nematodes, and pathogens) is a global phenomenon with profound population, community, ecosystem, and economic impacts. We review the magnitude of pest-associated forest loss worldwide and discuss the major ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences of these invasions. After compiling and analyzing a dataset of pest invasions from 21 countries, we show that the number of forest pest invasions recorded for a given country has a significant positive relationship with trade (as indicated by gross domestic product) and is not associated with the amount of forested land within that country. We recommend revisions to existing international protocols for preventing pest entry and proliferation, including prohibiting shipments of non-essential plants and plant products unless quarantined. Because invasions often originate from taxa that are scientifically described only after their introduction, current phytosanitary regulations - which target specific, already named organisms - Are ineffective.

This place was a great place to have some yummy traditional food and buy stuff at good prices. 👍🏼I recommend this place
This is a charming but tiny city with some of the old buildings built into the rock-face. The main street is interesting to walk along and the metal decorations projecting out on many buildings are a real feature of the town. There are a number of glass-makers and it is possible to purchase some gifts which are not made in...
We were informed by our guide that Rattenberg is the smallest city in Austria, after seeing most of the sites after an hour it.s was the quickest city tour ever. The glass works are a must to see with lots of interesting peices to buy. Also ample pavement cafes after your custom.
A morning explore round this quaint village and coffee in one of the many pavement cafes.
Great place to buy souvenirs or gifts.
Lots of local glass and even place to view the glass being made for free in back of one of the many glass shops.
Very cozy little town, easily walkable, some nice shops (but not too many), a few cafes etc. Quite nice for a morning.
A very beautiful street with some lovely architecture and traffic free. There are some very nice shops also.
Picturesque old town that's worth a stop if you're passing but not special enough to warrant a specific trip or a long visit. Most of the shops are either glass products or tourist souvenirs. There is one glass shop that is like a Tardis - it looks small on the outside but seems to go on forever into the rock...
Rattenberg centre is pedestrianised and is lined with shops mainly selling their famous glassware, but there are plenty of cafes and restaurant too. It makes for a nice day out whatever the weather. Beware this can be a very busy place in the summer months especially if the weather is nice.
The town is very small and is next to River Inn. We took the local bus from Brixlegg to there. The selling point seems to be the glass blowing workshop.
This is a very charming and unspoilt town/city which is worth a visit. Many of the shops are glass themed as expected but there are many nice pavement cafes and a few ice-cream places. Well worth a visit.

Can we change the name of the thread though?
Let me help you remember.
That level of discourse is probably too intellectual for the thread today.

Euchre is a card game invented by the Pennsylvania Dutch in the mid-1800s. The game is usually played by two teams of two players, but there are variations that allow for three to seven players. Euchre is a trick-taking game in which two jacks are the highest cards.
Set-up and Deal
To make a euchre deck, get rid of the cards two through the six, leaving a 32-card pack. Each team takes a three and a four out of the discarded cards to keep track of its score.
In the trump suit, the jack of trumps outranks all other cards. The second highest card is the jack of the same color. After the two jacks, in descending order the cards rank ace, king, queen, 10, 9, 8 and 7.
For the non-trump suits, the rank is ace, king, queen, jack (unless it is the same-color jack) 10, 9, 8 and 7.
Partners sit across from each other. The dealer deals five cards to each player in groups of three, then groups of two (or groups of two, then three) so that everyone has five cards.
The dealer puts the rest of the cards face-down and turns up the top card for the potential trump suit.
Choosing Trump
Starting with the player to the dealer's left, each player has a chance to accept the turned-up card as trump or pass. A player accepting the trump says, "I order it up." The dealer may keep the turned-up card, discarding another to maintain a five-card hand.
If no one orders up the card, players have the chance to name trump, starting from the dealer's left. Your side is not allowed to call trump if you try to declare out of turn or try to declare trump as the same suit that already was turned down.
The person who decides trump is the "maker." The maker's team tries to win the majority of tricks, or, if the maker is feeling confident, he can try to go it alone, in which case he announces his intention. If a maker goes it alone, one of his opponents can opt to defend alone.
Play starts to the dealer's left unless there's a lone maker, in which case play starts with the player to the lone maker's left. The starting player leads by putting a card face-up in the middle of the table. Players in turn throw in a card of the same suit if they can. The player with the highest-ranking card wins the trick, collects it, turns it face-down, then leads next.
If you can't follow suit, you can play any card, including trump.
Tricks continue to be taken until everyone's hand is exhausted. The score is noted, a new dealer deals and play continues.
When the maker's team wins three or four tricks, they score one point. Winning all five tricks achieves a "march" and scores two. If the maker played alone, a march scores four.
If the defenders win the majority of the tricks, they have "euchred" their opponents and score two. A march by a lone defender scores four.
Reaching five points wins the game, though some play to seven or 10. If you play to 10, you'll need to use a pair of fives or a six and four card to keep score.
Before a game, each team sandwiches its reserved three and four card with numbers facing in, so that sliding one card down over the other exposes a suit picture. Thus, if you have a four of clubs lying face down atop a face-up three of clubs, sliding the four down can reveal either one, two or three pictures of clubs on the bottom, face-up three card. Revealing the symbols keeps track of the score. Thus, if you win one point, you'd slide the four down to reveal one club symbol on the three-of-clubs card.

Thanks girls!! Very excited right now
Congrats Zakmick - great news!
Thanks Emski!! How have you been?
I'm a little confused as to why you need to provide the UK police checks. We were not asked for this. Have you applied for the Aus Police Check? When we did that one, we put our previous UK address in the bit where it needs your previous addresses for the last 5 years. We have only been here 2.5 years and we didn't need this, so I would query it again with your clinic. We provided the Aus police checks only and that was sufficient for us to start treatment. Sorry if I'm not much help. How long have you been here? I'm with Melb IVF, I don't think the police check though is for the clinic but for the state in Vic so if MIVF didn't need our UK checks, Monash shouldn't either. Give me a shout though if I can help in any other way. xx
Zamick - Wow!!! Great numbers so excited for you xxxx

Requirements for Task 1:
A. Prepare a summary report in which you do the following:
1. Evaluate the company's operational strengths and weaknesses based on the following:
In order to evaluate company's operational strength and weaknesses accurately it is important to have access to more than one year worth of data. The company, of course, will not be evaluated on the basis of couple of ratios, it is very important to analyze all the available information to put pieces of puzzle together to see the overall impression of the company and its attractiveness to creditors, investors and stockholders. To be able to compare company's performance we will be evaluating three years period from year to year, for which Horizontal technique will be used; and comparing it with results of company's biggest competitor. Vertical Analysis technique will be used as a standard way for comparison. Then to see how company does in comparison to the competition, we will use Ratio Analysis in which biggest competitor's numbers will be reviewed. It is important to have several different analyses to see the entire picture and later to be able to understand where company is and what actions shall be chosen for the improvement of financial situation.
a. Review the horizontal analysis, analyze the results, and discuss operational areas of concern.
First we will use Horizontal Analysis, which is a study of percentage changes in comparative financial statements to look at revenue, selling and operating expenses, income, earnings, assets, liabilities and equity. The reason this method is important is because we can see how company does percentage wise. It gives us better understanding of success then just numbers along. We will be comparing 3 years: year to year in different periods: 8(current), 7 (middle) and the year prior, we will be referring to it as year 6. By looking at current year revenue result we determine that net sales dropped by 15% from $5980.00 to $5083.00 in comparison to previous year. When we look at the year 6 and compare it to the year 7 we see that at that time period a very significant increase of 33% took place. At any point increase in sales is a positive change, it is strength. From year 7 to year 8 a decrease of 15% takes place. Decrease in sales is a weakness, yet the company is still more profitable than year 6. In this case comparison of 15% and 33% is more informative then just numbers alone ($897.000 and 1495.000). Next line cost of goods sold can give us a bit of an explanation on why this has happened: From year 6 to year 7 cost of making bikes nearly tripled- costs of sales grew by a very large percent of 31.8%. Rise of this sort is a big weakness. From year 7 to year 8 company managed to get the cost under control reducing it by 14.5%, which is a step up in a good direction. Gross profit increased by 37.5% from year 6 to 7 $1191, 000 to $1638, 000, which is a sign of strength; and then dropped by 16.3% to $1371, 400. The question that rises is what changes took place, what good decisions were made that resulted in rise from year 6 to year 7, and what unfavorable actions the company decided to take that resulted in the drop? Drop is gross profit can partially be explained by increase of cost of goods sold. But what other questionable decisions company made? To determine that we need to look further and review company's operating expenses. $6000.00 is one constant number we see throughout three years is the cost of website creation and maintenance. Company was spending highest amount 37.5% on advertisement from year 6 to year 7. Year 7 was most successful year for the company, which supported by net sales and gross profit data. Then Competition Bikes decreased amount spent on advertisement by 16.3%, which was immediately reflected. It was a poor decision as advertisement plays a major role in company's success...

The volcanic intestine
Food supplement with zeolite
Absorbs unwanted metabolic products
Supports the electrolyte household
Neutralizes free radicals
Relieves the intestine
Naturalith – a natural gift
Naturalith does not only donate physiologically nutritional important minerals it is a meaningful
supplement to daily food intake. Naturalith offers a substantial component beyond that, it activates
the intestine cleaning. Apart from healthy meals, weight reduction, more movement and the desire to
stop smoking, the intestinal cleaning - although often neglected – counts also, it is a key component
of the health conscious person.
Zeolites – in use since the antique
Already in the antique the zeolites were ground and used for the internal cleaning of the body.
Zeolites are minerals of natural origin of converted volcanic rock. They developed from volcanic ash, whose special geological structure formed during millions of years in water. Zeolites belong to the
group of the silicates, which are also known as salts of the silicic acid. In Naturalith are selected
leaves and cube zeolite can be found.
Naturalith supplies on the one hand important minerals to the human organism. On the other hand
Naturalith can actually bind in the intestine unwanted metabolic products - among other things acids, in addition, fermenting and digestive gases and supports thus the digesting and elimination function.
In this way the connective tissue is also relieved. Further free radicals are neutralized, since the
internal surface of the zeolites acts as an ion exchanger.
Recommended daily intake for Naturalith
3 times daily 1-3 capsules approx. 1 hour after the meal or
3 times daily 1-3 measuring spoons á 700 mg approx. 1 hour after the meal.
Consume with plenty of water.
In the evening the indicated, higher dosage can be used, in order to support the intestine in its
digesting and elimination function.
Contents of powder: 50% Klinoptilolith (leaf zeolite), 50% Chapasit (cube zeolite), Contents of capsule: 47% Klinoptilolith (leaf zeolite), 47% Chapasit, (cube zeolite), Cellulose (capsule covering)

We visited Pergola for a drink on a lovely sunny afternoon, we had a nice table by the canal and enjoyed nice drinks, very good service and fine music. A very nice place to visit also in the evening, if the weather allows it has a beautiful terrace.
We stumbled across Pergola whilst out walking last night. Stopped off for a drink and decided to stay for tapas. Gorgeous food! Location lovely too if you can get a table over looking the canal. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Would definitely go back and recommend.
We had just arrived in Brugge and saw this place that sits next to the water we went and the very helpful waiter helped us to a table just be the water. The poor guy was a bit overworked as he was the only one to help all guests. We started with a beer and decided to stay for dinner.... 更多
When we saw the terrace of Pergola from across the street we thought; WOW. What a stunning location. On the water and sheltered by trees! Let's see if they have space available. When we sat down, it took the (new) waitress about 30 minutes to notice us. Notice, not help us. While the terrace was only holding 12 tables, she... 更多
Went to pergola last night with my boyfriend and had an amazing time. We wanted romance in bruges and we got it. Jeff and the man with a beard were perfect... never had service like it.

My wife and I went to this restaurant for dinner one night in September during our 10th wedding anniversary trip to Bruges and it was a great experience It was a quiet evening and we got a table outside by the canal which was exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious and the two waiters working that night were... 更多
We were a group of 8 on a beautiful day and ate outdoors overlooking a canal. What a delight. Soup of the day was delicious as was a shrimp croquette with salad. Service was delightful. We had a terrific time.
We had a fantastic lunch here to celebrate a special occasion. The food and service were excellent and the restaurant was very attractive.
Do not miss this one. With good service and excellent food we had another excellent meal in Bruge. Thanks to our Seattle friends to tell us about this place.
The food was great however service was not as organized. The team was understaffed and the head waiter had all the tables. The setting is beautiful but there was a door bell that rang every few minutes to say food was there. Overall good value and great garden.

Here at the botanic garden we have many of the more common big aquatic aroids. All are cultivated on display or in the back with their root masses completely submerged and they grow like weeds. This would not be an easy approach for anyone without a greenhouse, but if you do have one (or are able to grow outside) it is easy. As Julius and others have indicated the concern is more than just being "wet". Fresh water frequently is the key. In the case of our aquatic house pool there is a constant slight flow of fresh make-up water so any media works as there is little problem with anaerobic conditions and hence root rot. Secondly, warm water temperatures are crucial. All our plants-whether Typhonodorum, Lasia, Montrichardia, Lasimorpha, Urospathas or Cyrtospermas-inevitably get exposed to air temps down to the upper 30's F. for a night, two or three, but the water temperature is maintained at 80 degrees and none show any ill effects. Though last year the water heater failed and the water temps went down to the mid-40's and there was considerable leaf yellowing in the succeeding weeks, though no plant losses. It is a constant challenge to provide enough nutrients to these plants.
In our back houses, any plants, seedlings, divisions are grown with submerged roots and daily freshening-mostly just topping off from evaporation though once in a while significant replacement. These rarely get fertilized as there would be problems. The media for everything is primarily a clay soil, compost and sand mix but they have not shown themselves to be fussy.
Just thought I would add to this discussion. I will try to get some photos in the next couple of days to post.

Dear Helmut,
Good to hear from another grower who likes the aquatics!
I would suggest that you obtain and read a copy of my paper in Aroideana Vol. 16, ``Experiencing Urospathas``, as in this article I detail a method I developed for the sucessful growing of these difficult to grow aquatic aroids (at least over a long period of time) in the Family Lasieae, which includes Cyrtosperma, Urospatha, Dracontioides, Lasimorpha, Podolasia and others.
Others on this list have given you great advice, but what has not been throughly addressed is the problem of salts from the fertilizer building up and concentrating in the soil and water, this condition is usually the cause of the leaf burn you describe, plus the lower water temperatures in winter time. As suggested by Brian Williams, the water in the saucers must be changed and the saucers washed on a weekly basis, and the pots with the plants flushed by excessive watering every month or so.
You can also experiment with more ''natural'' fertilizers such as OLD cow manure and WEAKLY mixed fish emulsion, etc., these will work better than commercially available powdered/dry fertilizers which consist mainly of salts.
I hope that this advice may help you grow your plants to be even more beautiful!
Julius Boos
<<> Dear Julius,
I have been growing Cyrtsperma johnstonii for a couple of years in my greenhouses in Vienna / Austria. Since I can offer them optimal indoor conditions, - heated greenhouse (25 - 35 Cels.), indirect sunlight + additional light in winter and relatively high humidity, - they are vigorious growers (up to two meters in a year) and producing lots of suckers. The substrate I use is LariAnns recommended mix for the very sensitive and difficult novelty Alocasias.
> The problem is, that the biggest leaves start browning from the margins, and then spotting the whole leaf blade. At the same time the petioles bend over and after a short while the leaves are gone. What can be wrong??? I think, I can offer them optimal conditions, standing next to the difficult Alocasias ("little jewels"), which I now have under control. Thanks for your experts advise!

A jpeg from you of an inflorsence from the plant you saw, which should be yellowish and blotched with purplish markings, would confirm it. Your observation of the ''square'' petioles with spikes suggests/confirms it's I.D., as all Cyrtospermas have more or less rounded (in cross section) petioles with thorns. There is another Lasioid genus which occurs in Central and Northern S. America, namely Urospatha, but this does not have spikes or spines on the petioles or anywhere else. The genus has been recorded in Belize, and so should be expected to occur in Honduras in swampy areas. Most species have rounded petioles, but one species from near El Tigre in W. Venezuela has angled/"squarish' petioles, but never has spines/spikes/thorns, and all species of Urospatha have long ''projections'' to the tips of the s

Apple releases software update 1.0.2 for 7th-gen iPod nano
Apple has released a new software update for the seventh-generation iPod nano. Version 1.0.2 of the iPod nano (7th generation) software reportedly addresses issues with EQ and microphone support with the Apple In-Ear Headphones and makes Bluetooth improvements, tweaks that are obscure enough to be non-obvious in initial testing. The update is available by connecting the iPod nano to iTunes via a USB connection and selecting the Check for Updates option in the iPod summary screen.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Improved version of Out of Africa "Skin Savers" line
Posted by PurpleHeart on May 18, 2015
I believe this is an improved version of the "Skin Savers" line from Out of Africa. The previous version had shea particles swimming around and had to rub hands together to liquify. This is just the nature of shea and I dealt with it. However, this product seems permanently mixed so makes the experience more effortless. The blend of oils is good for the skin.
Excellent for dry skin
