Eva Longoria planning a couple's war weekend for Valentine's Day
Eva Longoria is planning a "couple's war weekend" to celebrate Valentine's Day with her fiance Jose Antonio Baston.
The 40-year-old actress got engaged to her businessman beau at the end of 2015. However, gearing up for their first romantic holiday as a betrothed couple, Eva doesn't really have hearts and roses on her mind, instead planning to make it a competitive occasion.
"We always have a Valentine's Day weekend - a couple's war weekend," she told People. "So we invite a lot of couple friends of ours and we have this insane competition of like minute-to-win-it games. It's a fun weekend but it's definitely a competitive weekend."
While their engagement is still in its fledgling state, Eva has yet to think about firm plans for the nuptials.
One thing she's sure about, however, is that the ceremony will be without "any pomp and circumstance" as the pair have both done it before - Eva was married to Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004 and Tony Parker from 2007 to 2011.
"(There's) no theme or location. No guest list. You know, I guess I keep advocating for eloping," Eva admitted.
"I think we're going to do something really, really simple. We've both been married before, so there's not going to be a lot of pomp and circumstance."
Desperate Housewives star Eva previously revealed that she's not desperate to start a family with Jose. She will become stepmother to her beau's three children, and is happy with that.
"I don't feel like we are lacking because we don't have a baby," she shrugged to Britain's Closer magazine. "We are fulfilled. If there is anything else to come, it would be the icing on the cake."
It may come as a surprise to some that Eva is marrying Jose, as after first meeting in 2013 the brunette beauty admitted there was no spark. Six months after being introduced by a mutual friend, Eva recalled she felt "angels singing" and romance quickly blossomed.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
decor, extremely cheap limited English spoken by staff, no English tv,
Great room, very well furnished and equipped Old building so wifi doesnt work. Hotel said cables are available if no wifi signal is found but my room had no socket and no signal!
Nice, clean, friendly and private
The hotel is smart, in a very nicely renovated building. We really liked our quiet 'attic suite' with big private roof terrace. The town appears to be an agricultural centre and is nothing special but is usefully located for other Extremaduran towns, Portuguese border etc.
Everything in top condition and clean.
The price was too high when considering the location of the hotel. The restaurant was also too expensive comparing to the quality of the food and service. In addition, it we were unpleasantly surptised that we did not get breakfast included in the room price only because we made a reservation via booking.com. Therefore, it is advisible to call directly to the hotel.
Lovely high quality finish to the room, wish now we had taken dinner there more than just one of our three nights because the cuisine was superb and excellent value Inside room to a light well made it a little dark but a minor problem considering the quality of the bathroom!
This hotel was attractively quaint with an emphasis on rural and music interests the food and service was good Access was difficult due to surrounding roadworks which probably accounted for the slight smell of drainage and dampness and the loss of electricity during breakfast
Very nice hotel just a few kilometres west of the city of Melilla, the family runned hotel staff was very nice and did their utmost to make our stay as pleasant as possible, good restaurant with typical Extramaduran dishes and soft jazz music, atmosphere was great. That's the reason for us to book our holiday hotels via booking.com, otherwise you won't find such a nice place. Go there!
...What I liked most? Without having any doubt the staff and it's warm welcome! The hotel is perfect! The food they serve, the home-made breafast! I will definitly come back! Thanks a lot to pepe, lola, y constanza.
There was a live jazz band with guitars, saxophones and vocals, playing fado and traditional jazz tunes. The band were truly brilliant and the young girl singing was a local girl with the most sublime voice you could imagine. A wonderful evening with great food and staff as well. One of the two bedrooms smelt of stale cigarette smoke but it seems that is to be expected in Spain
Very beautiful, rustic. Dificult to find using GPS ( because of wrong maps in google earth and outhers )
This is a one-off but excellent hotel because the owners are passionate jazz fans who sustain a sophisticated jazz theme throughout (jazz plays quietly over the sound system in the well decorated and cosy public areas, each bedroom is named after a famous jazz musician/vocalist, and on Fridays and Saturdays in July and August live jazz is performed in the pretty courtyard after everyone has eaten their generous evening meal). The bedrooms are comfortable and well equipped and the breakfasts good. Moreover, the hotel is located in a small town not far from Merida which is friendly and sufficiently attractive to justify a visit in its own right. Parking exists in the quiet streets around the hotel. I think the only "problem" is that the hotel is difficult to find once in the town itself - there are no signs directing you to its location not far from the main church.

Workshop day
So we had our workshop today... not bad, six teachers, so that's half the department. Two others were working at school and couldn't make it. A good four hour session with a pro-user who's also a teacher. While he didn't cover a lot of the fundamental stuff or get into all the changes in the user interface that Maple 12 has, he did keep up with most of our teachers (we're an agressive bunch when it comes to learner... doctors making the worst patients and all). There was a nice bit of work done with programming and question construction. Hopefully things will come of it... we discussed a lot of classroom issues while we were learning Maple. Now I have to have some serious stuff ready for next week!

Maple 12 Interface
One of the reasons we've decided to jump into this CAS process at this point in time is that the new interface is far more student-friendly. We were loath to start with a CAS when the learning curve would be so great. While I know that some would say that the TI is a possibility, it's short-sighted; no one uses the TI software/handhelds beyond highschool. And the hand-helds are a button-intensive, small screen mess. It's a toss-up between Maple and Mathematica - and we have an existing relationship with Maple (it's HQ is down the road an hour).
The interface is now far more point & click with no (okay, few) arcane (to students) commands and it describes the step that has been performs.
Graphing is a lot easier (you can drag an expression onto a grid and it graphs!) and parameters can be automated with a click.
That, of course, is the easy part done. Now, the hard part:

That, of course, is the easy part done. Now, the hard part:
- what questions do we ask to develop understanding, concepts, algorithms?
- how do we encourage exploration over presentation?
- how do we avoid an emphasis on calculation/algorithm/button pushing? This can't be just "better worksheets through CAS"
- how do we make the link between paper-pencil and CAS techniques?
- how do we strength understanding of equivalence (since CAS' representations differ)?
- how do we deal with the time factor? (student-centred takes more time)?
- are our teachers ready to deal with the mathematical conversation that will/should occur?

Day -26
Just doing some preliminary setup for storing and sharing information on our project... the Drexel courses I've been taking on (Action) Research have been helpful in doing a lot of the preliminary readings (see sidebar for some good references). I'm also trying to work on the Sharepoint site... it may already be time to throw in the towel on that and just use a wiki. I'd much prefer the wiki anyways just because of the ease of use (for me and other users), accessibility (are our Sharepoint sites available to outside users?) and my own personal philosophy.

1 Comprehensive Crop Reports Bleeding Heart: A Review for Growers Laurie Hodges 1 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Dicentra spectabilis, Lamprocapnos spectabilis, perennial, cut flower, floriculture, breeding SUMMARY. A favorite garden flower for centuries, bleeding heart or old-fashioned bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is also used as a potted plant and in floral arrangements. Most general gardening guides include information on growing conditions but provide few specifics regarding plant growth and development that are important to those interested in commercial cultivation and use in the floral industry. Although uncommon in the U.S. floral industry, the plant is adaptable for use as a flowering potted plant and as cut floral stems with potential for year-around availability. This report provides detailed cultural information for this audience with an overview of the history of the species and its unique characteristics. Despite the popularity of the spectacular flower and plant form, until 1997 it was only available in the common pink and white form or a pure white form and exhibited little phenotypic variability. Three new cultivars, Goldheart, Valentine, and Hordival, are now available with distinctive foliage and flower colors. These new cultivars are poised to create much interest among gardeners and cut flower growers. The history, culture, propagation, forced flowering, use as a cut flower, pest management, and pharmacological potential are presented. The old-fashioned bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis)from northeast Asia was recently reclassified as Lamprocapnos spectabilis in the family Fumariaceae based on DNA sequencing and differences in pollen and seed coat anatomy from other Fumariaceae (Liden et al., 1997). The former Latin name, Dicentra spectabilis, translates as spectacular two spurs, while Lamprocapnos means bright smoke, both referring to the flowers. It is a spectacular flower known for at least 2000 years for its beauty and for centuries as a garden plant (Zeiner, 2006). The plant has arching stems (racemes) of pink heart-shaped flowers that appear to bleed a drop of white Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, 377 Plant Sciences Hall, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE Corresponding author. blood. The leaves are coarsely dissected, blue-green, with a fern-like appearance. The flowering stem and flowers are in two planes of symmetry making them particularly attractive and easy to incorporate into floral designs. At the base of each outer pink petal is a spur, which holds nectar from glands at the base of the stamens. Plants flower over a 3- to 4-week period in late spring, with anthesis starting between late April and early June through the north temperate zones. Units To convert U.S. to SI, multiply by U.S. unit SI unit Bleeding heart is native to the cool, moist woodlands of northeastern Asia, growing in dappled shade. It does not bloom well in dense shade and will not tolerate poorly drained soils, especially in the winter. It is adapted to U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 2 to 9. Plants can tolerate more sun in the more northern latitudes if kept reliably moist. Partial shade is required in the south or where summer temperatures are high. High, diffuse light under cool, moist, well-drained conditions in a neutral to slightly alkaline soil high in humus are optimal conditions. Plants need to be protected from wind. Plants can form clumps 1 m across and almost as tall. Anecdotal reports indicate stems approaching 2 m height. If plants are cut back in midsummer, no new leaves will form (Hanchek, 1989), whereas cutting flowering stems in the spring will result in new floral racemes developing from axillary buds on the stem or from crown buds. Once growing, long photoperiods of 18 h promote growth and flowering indefinitely, especially when combined with a periodic cutting back of plants to promote new flushes of growth (Hanchek, 1989; Weiler and Lopes, 1977). History Bleeding heart is native to southeastern Siberia, Korea, and the northern areas of China. Grown in Chinese gardens and as a forced potted plant for hundreds of years, it was first seen by Western scientist Linnaeus in 1765 as a drawing in a student thesis. Although it was mentioned in European literature as early as 1804 and was present in England as early as 1812, these introductions died out before becoming established (Tebbitt et al., 2008). Successful introduction into European gardens followed its reintroduction in 1846 by Robert Fortune on his return to England from a collecting trip to China for the Royal Horticultural Society.

2 COMPREHENSIVE CROP REPORTS purchased the plant from a nursery in Shanghai. It flowered in England in May 1847 (Fortune, 1847). By 1852, it had appeared in North America and throughout Europe, primarily as a forced pot plant in the conservatory. It was believed not to be frost tolerant, despite Fortune predicting it to be so, and crowns were dug from the garden after the foliage died down and brought inside, where they typically flowered in February, being returned to the garden in May. By 1878, the garden adaptability of the plant was well recognized and it was one of the top six garden plants in England (Coats, 1968). Plants were advertised for sixpence (6d) in 1882 in England (Gardening Illustrated, 1882), equivalent to 13 or U.S. $22 in today s buying power. The white-flowered bleeding heart (L. spectabilis var. alba) was first mentioned in the Proceedings of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1864 noting its blush white color and origin from China (Royal Horticultural Society, 1864), which is the earliest known reference to this color form. No information regarding the original source, wild or cultivated, of the white-flowered plant is known. Early white-flowered clones may have been different from the plant we know today as the flowers were reported to be tinged with pink and the plants much weaker than the red-flowered clones (Tebbitt et al., 2008; Williams, 1903). Although commonly grown in gardens worldwide, bleeding heart recently was included in a proposed list of threatened crop plants because of its potential uses in pharmacology and the relatively few endemic populations known within its historic range (Hammer and Khoshbakht, 2005). Plant growth and development Bleeding heart has a spreading, tuberous root system which overwinters. These large, cylindrical roots consist largely of starch-filled parenchyma cells, which provide nutrients for spring growth. During the growing season, a mass of fibrous roots also develops from the crown (Ignatyeva, 2000; Stern, 1961; Williams, 1903). Crown buds are formed in late summer on the tuberous roots at the base of the previous year s growth. In a Michigan study, crown buds developed rapidly between 11 and 26 Sept., followed by bud maturation evidenced by bud elongation, increased dry weight, or both through mid-november (Hanchek, 1989). Unlike many dormant buds, each lateral bud scale contains both a vegetative and reproductive meristem. The terminal bud scale contains only foliage meristems (Williams, 1903). A cold period is not required for differentiation of the floral meristem but is required for stem elongation in the spring. Gibberellic acid cannot substitute for the cold period (Lopes and Weiler, 1977; Song et al., 2003; Weiler and Lopes, 1976). Crown buds form vegetative shoots that have solid stems and reproductive stems that are hollow. The sap is watery. Some people have an allergic reaction to the sap, which is high in isoquinolines and other alkaloids that make the plant toxic (Israilov et al., 1984; Stern, 1961). When planting crowns, buds should be 2.5 to 5 cm below the soil surface. Bleeding heart benefits from excellent nutrition during its vegetative period aboveground. Only general recommendations for culture in the landscape have been reported for bleeding heart (Armitage, 2008; Tebbitt et al., 2008). Soil should be well-drained and moderately fertile. Well-rotted manure or compost may be added to provide nutrients and to improve soil structure. Addition of phosphorous in the form of bonemeal or wood ashes from deciduous hardwood trees is recommended by Tebbitt et al. (2008). Typical of many geophytes, nutrients likely are translocated from senescing foliage to the crown and tuberous storage roots, which continue to accumulate nutrients as long as the fibrous roots remain functional. Roots continue to grow for several months after the tops have died back as long as the soil maintains warmth and moderate moisture. Thus, plants benefit from an annual top dressing in the fall or early spring with compost or aged manure as long as there is good drainage. Poor drainage, especially in winter, will kill the plant. For pot culture, a general recommendation would be a complete fertilizer rate of 200 to 250 ppm for both nitrogen and potassium on a constant feed program (Nau, 1996). Many authors mention a summer restingperiodwhenthestemsdieback. This is a response to moisture stress rather than a heat- or daylengthinduced dormancy. If adequate soil moisture is maintained consistently, plants remain vegetative and may flower until fall when dormancy is induced by a photoperiod of 14 h or less (Tebbitt et al., 2008; Weiler and Lopes, 1985). Native to eastern Siberia, northern China, and Korea, bleeding heart does not tolerate high temperatures well; however, temperature does not induce dormancy. Plants left to dieback naturally in response to short days are larger and have more flowering stems the following spring. We have cut as many as 25 flowering stems per plant from 3-year-old plants started as two- to three-eye divisions in 5-gal pots when kept moist and left to dieback naturally in the fall (L. Hodges, unpublished data). Apparently, a hardening effect takes place in the field in the fall that affects dormancy and regrowth in the spring. During cold storage, plants dug before the first week of November developed considerable mold and poor regrowth in a Michigan study (Hanchek, 1989; Hanchek and Cameron, 1995). Digging crowns in early winter and storing them at 0 C for 4 months resulted in higher quality plants that were taller, had more vigorous regrowth, and were more likely to flower when forced (Hanchek, 1989). Time from potting to first flower was most rapid, averaging 3 weeks, for plants harvested later in the fall and stored for 4 months (Hanchek, 1989) although others report good growth after 8 to 12 weeks of storage at 5 C (Lopes and Weiler, 1977). If a cold storage facility is not available, potted plants can be overwintered outside. In a northern climate, use of a laminated polyethylene foam blanket provided excellent protection of potted fringed or fernleaf bleeding heart (Dicentra exima) and doubled survival compared with no cover (Fisher, 2001). Similar results could be expected with bleeding heart. Where winter temperatures fall below 10 F or where there are high winds, the recommendation is to use a double layer of foam frost blanket or place the potted plants inside an unheated greenhouse or high tunnel under a single or double layer of foam frost blanket (Fisher, 2001). Forced flowering After the appropriate cold period, bleeding hearts can be forced easily for cut flowers or grown as potted plants. The ideal temperature for forcing is 10 to 12 C. If warmer, 518 August (4)
3 stem quality suffers (Lopes and Weiler, 1977). The expansion of the flowers and the number of flowers per raceme are greater with supplemental lighting (Lopes and Weiler, 1977). Although often considered a shade plant, higher light intensities result in greater root growth and earlier flowering than low light intensities, which, when sufficiently low, may result in flower abortion (Lopes and Weiler, 1977; Mallberg, 2004; Weiler and Lopes, 1976). Forcing bleeding hearts has been practiced since they were first introduced and was practiced in Asia before introduction to Europe. Live plants in England first flowered in May 1847 as forced potted plants (Fortune, 1847). It never caught on inamericaasmuchasinengland, even as late as 1928 (Bailey, 1928). Garden plants are dug in late October,dividedsothateachdivisionhas several eyes, roots trimmed as needed to fit into pots, and the potted plants kept in cold storage or buried in the soil outside. In early January, pots are moved inside to a sunny window sill or cool greenhouse. It is more common now to start with either two- to threeeye or three- to five-eye divisions from the cold storage of a wholesale supplier. When potting divisions, up to 50% of the root mass can be pruned away without significantly affecting subsequent growth or flowering (Weiler and Kirk, 1984). Maintaining moderately moist soil is most important because of the rapid growth of the plant, which will normally flower within 1 month. Under controlled conditions, plants flower 3 to 4 weeks after planting at 11 C night temperature and 2 to 3 weeks after planting at a 15 C night temperature (Weiler and Lopes, 1985). The shoots are cut off after flowering and the plant moved to a cool spot until spring when it can be planted outside. New growth often will include some flowering stems. Forcing crowns for sale as potted plants has been the subject of several research projects. For container production, a short, compact plant is desired. Plants are stocky when grown at short photoperiods of 14 to 15 h of light. Plant growth regulators must be applied immediately after shoot growth is initiated and again 5 d later because of uneven shoot emergence. Daminozide at 3000 ppm or paclobutrazol at 50 ppm provided the best plant size, color, and inflorescence (Kim et al., 1999). Immature flowers that develop on cut stems after harvest or as flowers mature on potted plants often are lighter in color and the color of open flowers will fade before senescence. If potted plants are treated with additional light, or cut flowering stems are treated before harvest with silver thiosulfate (STS), plant height/stem length increases slightly, more flowers open, and color retention is improved (Roberts et al., 1995). Fading of flowers is less noticeable for the white form compared with the red (Mallberg, 2004). Cut flower The graceful form of bleeding heart has been admired as a cut flower for centuries. Plants in the garden normally flower for 4 weeks starting as early as late April to June, key months in the U.S. floral business. Bleeding heart stems can be cut when the first heart is fully open although often those cut by growers for local markets or those harvested for personal use are not harvested until three or more flowers are fully open. It is desirable to have at least five flowers on a stem; seven to 12 is common. Marketable stems from first year two- to three-eye crowns from cold storage averaged 35 cm long from the cut stem to the first open flower (Mallberg, 2004). When harvested with one flower on the raceme fully open, the other flowers will develop normally when stems are placed in a commercial floral preservative. The white-flowered form does not have quite the same arching raceme as the red-flowered form, tending to be either more vertical or horizontal than the pure arch of the red cultivar. Bleeding hearts are recognized as ethylene sensitive (Stevens, 1998), and STS treatment prolongs vase life (Roberts et al., 1995). Our research found that floral preservatives extended the average vase life for red-flowered bleeding heart from 8 to 12 d and from 8 to 17 d for the white-flowered form, compared with vase life in water (Mallberg, 2004). Vase life of the red bleeding heart stems stored at 2 C in floral preservative gradually decreased from an average of 7 d after 16 d of storage to 4 d when kept in cold storage for 25 d (Mallberg, 2004). Best conditions for flowering and stem length are summarized in Table 1. Propagation Plants do not self-pollinate and require pollination by a different clone to set seed. When conditions in the garden are appropriately cool and moist with humus-rich soil and plants of different clones are in close proximity, self-seeded plants may be considered a nuisance. Pollination is primarily by bumblebees (Bombus sp.) seeking nectar and a few other pollinators with a long proboscis (Ignatyeva, 2000; Stern, 1961). Seeds mature in midsummer and are dispersed by ants (Formicidae) attracted to small structures on the seeds called elaiosomes containing fats (Fig. 1). The ants gather the seeds and bring them back to their nests to consume the elaiosome thereby dispersing the seeds locally. This restricted distribution likely contributed to the evolutionary isolation and speciation within the family. Seeds generally are fertile and require a warm period followed by a cold and moist stratification followed by second warm period for maturation and germination. Seeds Table 1. Best conditions for bleeding heart flowering and stem length. Cool, moist root zone during initial growth; 13 C (55.4 F) is ideal Well-drained, moist soil with humus and high organic matter content High, diffuse light for more flowers per stem Wind protection 16 to 18 h of light for longer stems 15 to 20 weeks of chilling at 5 C (41.0 F) or colder to break dormancy and promote stem elongation Avoid drought or waterlogged soil Allow stems to dieback naturally in the fall when daylight is less than 14 h Fig. 1.

4 COMPREHENSIVE CROP REPORTS freshly harvested in late spring can be germinated by sowing into a flat containing a peat-based lightweight germination mix and placing the flat into a coldframe, keeping the mixture slightly moist. Germination will occur the following spring. Alternatively, cold stratify the seeds in the moist media for 6 to 8 weeks at 4 C, then move the seedling tray to a place with light and cool temperatures (15 to 18 C) for another 2 to 4 weeks. Repeated stratification may result in germination of additional dormant seeds. Once seeds have germinated, the young plants can be divided carefully in the spring or after the leaves have died down. Gibberellic acid ( ppm GA 3 or GA 4+7 ) can increase the percent germination (Kim and Chung, 2001; Kim and Um, 1995), which is rarely more than 60% and often erratic (Nau, 1996). Seedlings will first flower during their second year (Nau, 1996). Plants can be pinched and terminal vegetative cuttings rooted in a 1 peat:1 perlite mix (by volume) although propagation by root division is more common. Year-around culture of bleeding heart is feasible through production of stock plants using rooted cuttings with both the propagation and growth of the plants in long photoperiods. Vegetative cuttings root best when taken in the spring from young growth and placed in moist perlite or vermiculite in a humidatmosphereorundermist.it may take a month for roots to form. Rooting hormone is not necessary. Root cuttings can be made from tuberous roots in the spring or fall by taking a 7.5- to 10-cm section of a root and inserting it into a moist peat:perlite mixture (Armitage, 2008). Crown divisions are normally made in the fall but also can be made in very early spring before budbreak. Most bleeding hearts in the trade now are reproduced vegetatively by dividing the crown into two- to three-eye or threeto five-eye divisions. To store divisions (crowns) over the winter, it is important that they do not dry out; however, bleeding heart is very susceptible to mold during storage, especially if harvested before full dormancy in the fall (Hanchek, 1989; Maqbool and Cameron, 1994). From crowns harvested in November, the best method found was to pack the crowns in slightly moist 1 peat:1 perlite mix (by volume) in crates lined with polyethylene plastic in a cooler maintained between 1 and 4 C (Cameron and Maqbool, 1986). Tissue culture techniques were published in 1982 (Lazarz et al., 1982). Tissue culture is not used commercially to propagate bleeding heart because of the ease of crown division and rooting cuttings. Pest management Bleeding hearts have few pest problems. Thrips (Thripidae) may damage flowers and occasionally whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) will be a problem in a greenhouse crop, but few other insects affect the plant. Slugs and snails (Gastropoda) may eat new growth. Bleeding hearts are not bothered by rabbits (Leporidae) or deer (Cervidae). Fusarium wilt (Fusarium sp.), viruses, and fungal leaf spots (Stemphyllium) can occur. A phytoplasma infection can result in a proliferation of shoots or witches broom effect. It is also susceptible to southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii). Occurrence of gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) can be a problem during storage of the cut stems, which can be reduced with good air circulation. Of disease pathogens, viruses are most commonly seen. Plants can be infected with tobacco rattle tobravirus, tobacco ringspot nepovirus, tobacco mosaic virus, ribgrass mosaic virus, and the aster yellows phytoplasma (Gill et al., 2006; Lane, 2006; L. Lane, personal communication). Tobacco rattle virus is the most devastating of the various viruses that infect bleeding heart. First found in bleeding heart in the United States in 2000, it is a systemic virus, leading inevitably to plant decline and death (Lockhart, 2000). Symptoms often are evident only under cool conditions. It is transmitted via the root nematodes, Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus.Since many herbaceous perennials are propagated by division, the incidence of diseased plant material is increasing and it is increasingly common in purchased crowns (Lockhart, 2000). Possible causes of various problems observed on bleeding heart plants are in Table 2. Weeds may be a problem in larger field production systems or landscape plantings. Crown buds are close to the soil surface and root damage will shorten the life of the plant so it is best to avoid cultivation. Generally, few broadleaf weeds develop in the shade under bleeding heart plants. The few reports located on chemical weed control indicate that bleeding heart is tolerant of oxadiazon, oryzalin, trifluralin, napropamide, and dacthal. It does not tolerate diuron or simazine (Bateman, 1971; Didario, 1961; Schuett and Klett, 1989; Tichknor, 1960). Breeding and selection Old-fashioned bleeding heart is now recognized as evolutionarily distinct from all other types of bleeding hearts including those in the genus Dicentra such as dutchman s breeches (D. cucullaria) or fernleaf bleeding heart, also known as pacific bleeding heart (D. formosa). It does not cross with any other genus in the Fumariaceae family (Stern and Ownbey, 1971; Tebbitt et al., 2008). Thus, the white-flowered form discussed above is apparently a rare natural mutant discovered before 1846, Table 2. Production problems affecting bleeding heart and possible causes. Problem Possible cause Flower abortion, few flowers Too warm; insufficient chilling; too much shade per stem Flowers on very short stems or Insufficient chilling time or temperatures; flowers without stem elongation high temperatures during stem elongation Plant dies back soon after flowering Drought; too much shade Plant fails to emerge in spring Tobacco rattle mosaic virus; crown decay due to excess moisture Dark, mushy stems at soil line Bacterial rot due to poor drainage; waterlogged soil overwinter; white mold (Sclerotinium rolfsii) if white threads of mold present with small, hard, round pellets (sclerotia) Mosaic, circles, or other patterns One or more viruses on the foliage; crinkled foliage 520 August (4)
5 perhaps with subsequent selection for pure white color and improved vigor. It sets viable seeds. There are reports by several authors of a white cultivar called Pantaloons, but no original citation or source of this cultivar has been located and it may be either a trade name or common name (Paghat, n.d.). The cultivar Goldheart became available in Goldheart has broad, bright yellowgold leaves in the spring on peachcolored stems. The gold color of the leaves is most intense when grown in moderate shade and may have merit as cut foliage. By midsummer, the leaves are lime green. It is a strong grower, performing best in moist soil and moderate shade as the leaves may sunburn in full sun. The flowers are the traditional rose pink and white. Although sometimes listed as a hybrid, the cultivar Goldheart is actually a selection first propagated in 1993 from a mutant offshoot of the standard species by Nori Pope of Hadspen House in England. Goldheart possibly was the second cultivar selected from the species in over 1000 years. How this came about is an interesting story. Pope noticed a small spot on the leaf of a regular pinkflowered bleeding heart plant. He watched it for a few days and then decided to propagate it by cutting out the spot, removing the parenchyma cells,andgraftingthecellsintoanapical bud on the plant and then putting the entire plant into a sweat box to see if the graft would take. A few weeks later, a small, pale yellow shoot appeared. As additional green shoots appeared from the base, they were cut out until the shoot was entirely a clear and consistent yellow. As this shoot developed, cuttings were taken and sent away to be tissue cultured. The new cultivar was named Goldheart and was introduced to the trade in 1997 (N. Pope, personal communication). In 2009, a fourth cultivar of bleeding heart named Valentine was released to the trade. With deep red flowers on dark burgundy stems, it is slightly more compact than the species, averaging 65-cm tall and wide with darker green foliage. Valentine was discovered as a chance seedling by Lyle and Phyllis Sarrazin in Prince George, BC, Canada, and released by Hortis Holland (Rijswijk, The Netherlands) in 2009 with plant breeder rights (Flowerweb, 2010; Verschoor, n.d.). In 2011, the Sarrazins filed a patent application for another bleeding heart seedling discovered in 2005 with orange-red flowers, which is named Hordival (Sarrazin and Sarrazin, 2011). It also is slightly shorter and more compact than the wild species. It also has dark red stems. Since a natural hybrid is not possible and variation is very limited in this old species, traditional breeding of new cultivars has been slow. In Korea, techniques were recently developed using somatic regeneration with the intent to develop new commercial cultivars of this flower through genetic transformation (Lee and Lee, 2003). Pharmacologic potential Dicentra sp. and L. spectabilis are closely related to poppies (Papaver sp.) and share many of the chemicals associated with the poppy family (Papaveraceae) (Israilov et al., 1984). Bleeding heart has a history of ethnopharmaceutical use in Asian cultures and was listed as a botanical drug in the United States as early as 1880 (Nickell, 1880). Recent pharmacological investigations of the various alkaloids found in bleeding heart include potential in a natural antiaging serum (Lee et al., 2004), as fungicides (Ma et al., 2000), as antidepressants, and as anticancer agents (McNulty et al., 2007). Conclusion The popularity of bleeding heart in the landscape has not yet become associated with it as a potted plant or a specialty cut flower. Research has provided the knowledge required to successfully force this stunning plant to bloom at any time of the year and to manipulate plant height and stem length. Postharvest handling to ensure cut stem vase life of more than a week as well as longevity of display for potted plants has been determined. The additional flower and foliage colors found in the first new cultivars in over 150 years may stimulate interest in this spectacular and evocative flower, fostering development of new market opportunities.

Enlightenment, also known simply as E, is a compositing and stacking window manager for the X Window System. Since version 20, Enlightenment is also a Wayland compositor. Enlightenment developers have referred to it as "the original eye-candy window manager".
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro No programming experience required to configure the environment
Configuring the environment of Enlightenment is done through a UI, so no prior knowledge of coding languages or editing of config files is needed.
Pro Beautiful interface
Enlightenment offers a beautiful interface with eye candy: it can be themed easily to the user's liking and includes an optional compositor.
Pro Lots of themes available
There is a large selection of themes available for the Enlightenment window manager, meaning that customization to one's preference is very straight-forward.
Pro Virtual desktop previews
Enlightenment allows for virtual desktop previews within its desktop widget for switching desktops within its thumbnails.
Pro Quick mouse-driven menus
Enlightenments menu is easily and quickly accessible by left-clicking anywhere on the desktop.
Con Ugly default theme
The default theme is rather ugly so it's necessary to apply a new theme as soon as you install Enlightenment.
Con Minimal set of utilities
Enlightenment only comes with the bare essentials, meaning there is little that can be done upon first install in comparison to other more fully featured desktops. This does, however, leave all the customization of what apps to install up to the user, which may be a plus to some and is directly comparable to most other bare bones Window managers.
Overlaps and spaces between windows are both pointless.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
There's a reason why, shortly before this writing, Rudy Mikula was poached from Nove Italiano by Consilient Restaurants to become wine and beverage director for Hibiscus, among other Consilient duties. No surprise. Mikula is a walking comfort zone, a wine geek whose easy style and bone-dry wit melts inhibitions, making diners susceptible to Mikula's unique brand of vino evangelism. Listen to him. He plumbs and probes for the world's great sacramental blessings like the best of them. He'll pour you sips of his favorites. Like a particular wine and want to avoid the painful restaurant mark-up flaying? He'll soak off the label and secure it in a Ziploc so you can bring your bagged prize to your favorite retailer. Mikula is an intensely sincere steward, at once discerning, eager and shrewd. He'll usurp your finger and lovingly lug it through the wine list, helping you pinpoint the hidden ones that won't scare the Quicken out of you. If he can do this with Italian wines, with all of their confounding indigenous grapes and regional obscurities, imagine what craftiness he'll pull with the far more mainstream Hibiscus list. Just wait. And watch.
Ultimately, the purpose of an appetizer is to whet, to arouse, to salivate. It's to kick-start the innards and make them receptive to the more weighty compositions to follow. Mansion Chef John Tesar's crab "scampi style" does this. Six ounces of king crab leg meat is torn from the shell in ropes, flecked with parsley and set in a pool of Riesling butter sauce with touches of garlic and shallot. Riesling creeps to the forefront, launching a fascinating interplay of focused minerality and torrents of fruity acid that seem to reach around the crab's sweet buttery richness, targeting the minerals a few layers deep in the soul of the meat. Here, bitterness kisses the front of the mouth before the butter slides the crab's rich sweetness across the palate. Then the acids clear away a little of that, and it becomes almost floral. All of this is framed in a steely mineral component that is strong in the wine but subtler in the crab. Hence, the complex flavors of the crab instantly become understandable. This is a laser beam of a dish. It is visceral. It has gobs of charisma. It is pure mouth joy.
You know Jimmy's sausage and meatballs (and mortadella and prosciutto) are the stuff of legend, forcing chefs and gastronomes (why does foodie sound like a term for someone with a sippy-cup fetish?) alike to knuckle under its culinary weight in devoted reverence. You also know the wine selection is the best ever brought forth from the entirety of the boot, flowing from Veneto, Compania, Tuscany, Piedmont, Friuli, Sicily, Sardinia, Trentino Alto Adige, Basilicata, Umbria and Marche. Jimmy's even stocks the wines from Avellino bottled by Riccardi's Italian Dining owners Anita and Gaetano Ricardi. But what you may not know is that Jimmy's now has a back room—borne of reconstruction after the devastating 2004 fire that nearly destroyed its circa 1920s building—where wine dinners and wine flights will be launched and indulged and disabused, some hosted by Italian wine experts such as Andrea Cecchi of the Chianti producer Cecchi. More to follow. More to flow. Much to love.
For a third of a century John's Café on Greenville Avenue was one of those chipped mug of coffee places you could go on a Sunday morning and get your feet planted squarely back on planet Earth for the week to come. Then two years ago they deep-sixed it for a bank. Story of our life. But now John's is back from the grave, this time deeper on Greenville, almost at the corner of Ross, and many of the old familiar faces are gathering again for coffee, Greek salad and one of the best big burgers in town. The new location hits it just right, clean and plain, lean and mean—the way Old East Dallas likes it.
There are plenty of bars where you can grab a decent bite in Dallas—Lee Harvey's, the Meridian Room and the Lakewood Landing all come to mind—but the Old Monk is the only one we frequent even when we're not drinking. From the sizable burgers to the awesome fish and chips, everything on the menu is tasty, and it's all better with a side of the best skinny fries in town. And don't forget your vegetarian friends, who'll surely love the renowned (in our world at least) vegetarian Reuben. You'll find us on the large patio, a must in our book since most of Dallas' bar scene still hasn't come around to the idea that food tastes a lot better when it's not accompanied by the smell of cigarettes.
Years ago Sonny Bryan's got rolled out into 10 different Dallas-area locations, and they're all great, but the original on Inwood is proof that part of the barbecue is the shack. Since 1910—that's when Sonny Bryan started peddling his incomparable ribs and brisket from a tumbledown dive near Parkland Hospital—a whole lot of smoke and flavor must have gotten rubbed into the joint's well-worn benches and little school desks. It helps that you can see people back behind the counter pulling those big racks of ribs out of the smoker: You know for sure it's not coming down here quick-frozen from New Jersey. This is real-deal Dallas, the old-fashioned way, and every bite a treat for sure.

From the Division of General Medicine and Primary Care, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 330 Brookline Ave, LY318, Boston, MA 02215.
At the Medicine Grand Rounds held in March 1997, Dr Arthur Barsky discussed
the management of multiple somatic complaints in a 37-year-old man who is
self-employed.1 Mr H began to experience multiple
physical complaints during adolescence. Since that time he has visited doctors
frequently for a wide variety of symptoms accompanied by intense anxiety and,
at times, mild depression. His doctors, including Dr Y, a medical resident,
felt the complaints were primarily psychosomatic in origin, and multiple medical
evaluations failed to reveal significant organic findings. Dr Barsky discussed
the epidemiology and mechanisms of symptom formation in patients like Mr H,
focusing on "care, rather than cure," and outlining an approach to management
that frequently proves worthwhile to the patient and clinician. We asked the
patient and his doctor to comment on the year that has passed.

It seemed only natural to us that when Dalton Briggs was over visiting that we assign him Rick Lautner as a babysitter. With his easy going nature and near perfect English we thought that they would get along fine, and although they did hit it off on a social level, Dalton didn't want to spend all his time with the one buddy (and also maybe Rick wanted some time on his own too).
So when they run across Tony Conrad in the park, Rick is happy to set them up together and organise Dalton's 2nd fuck of his visit in Prague.
