I am looking for the name of a poem that I read as a child and I can only remember this one line. The poem is about a ghost of a girl who comes back at night to vits her brother. Bodysnatchers have robbed her grave and parts of her body reside in different hospitals around London.
I would love to read this poem again, it was in a small anthology of fairly modern poetry(mid 20th century, white cover with coloured spots )which used to belong to my great aunt. Other poem's in the anthology included one about a flower (cockney accented) and about a small boy who grew up to make atom bombs.
Trying to find a poem with the line "In marylebone they came and boned your mary"?
what everrrrr
Reply:I believe it is titled :Mary's Ghost, and it is by Thomas Hood. Oddly enough when I 'googled' it, I found it printed out in someones blog --http://www.brothersjudd.com , the 7/12/05 entry

Feng Shui and fake plants/flowers as decoration in a house?
This is kind of a 2 part question. I heard on tv that fake plants and flowers are bad fend shui in a home. Anyone know if this is true? My mom has fake plants, trees, flowers all over her house and its the house I grew up in and I never was really comfortable there. I dont really consider it my childhood "home", that title goes to house i lived in when i was even younger. Of course there could be a million reasons for why I would feel that way, feng shui might have nothing to do with it but I wonder. Anyone out there know anything about feng shui? i also had some issues as a kid/teenager that started after we moved into my moms house (age 8 and over). again-could be for any reason but could "bad" feng shui have anything to do with it? okay for all you "feng shui is crap" folks out there, I understand your position but I happen to think theres something to it so if you dont have anything constructive to add please keep your opinions to yourself. thanks to all.
Feng Shui and fake plants/flowers as decoration in a house?
Supposedly, fake and dead plants are not feng shui. If you want plants, you must have living ones. I recommend an air plant, and maybe some small bamboo in a vase, caus they are easy to keep alive. I am bad at keeping things alive, but I have had this vase of bamboo I got at Home Depot forever. You only have to add water every couple of weeks, plus the bamboo helps bring together the asian feng shui feeling. Adding a small fountain to your room will also add feng shui. Just do what makes you feel most at ease, cause that is what it is all about. if you feel more comfortable with fake plants than do it, but if you are being strict with the rules of feng shui then don't use fake plants. Research online, how to design a feng shui room, because furniture placement is also very important! Good luck with your room!
Reply:Fake plants are only considered negative if they are never cleaned %26amp; allowed dirt to build up.
Sometimes fake flowers or plants are a positive in feng shui (a room too dark to support a real plant). Dried flowers or plants are not positive.
Reply:Not sure about fake flowers being bad feng shui but I do hate to dust them!
I agree with asia...surround yourself with items that make you feel wonderful. Mirrors, light, pictures, beads and bells--all evoke strong emotions. Don't forget fragrances--they do a lot to make a house a home. If plants make you nervous, I'd go with fiber optics sculptures or something less stressfull like tabletop waterfalls, sand gardens or bowls of pebbles for tabletops, etc.
Let us know how it turns out :)

Now your question and some simple answer for you.
Fake flowers and plants = not living objects. However can gather negative or positive energy from the environment. Where you place your fake flowers? If near to the toilet, will gather negative energy. If near happy people always, will gather positive energy. If place at location which is not auspicious at your house, gather negative energy, if place at auspicious place, gather positive energy.
Rule of thumb, don't simply listen to others when it comes to fengshui, should check on your own. A great guru of fengshui once said, "your compass is your friend when you want to learn about fengshui".
Hope my simple explaination help.
Reply:Yes, anything dead or fake as in potpourri which I can't stand and will not allow in my house. Live plants are a great addition to rooms, plus they add oxygen into the air
Reply:i work for a feng shui consultant
objects affect feng shui, there is nothing to do with fake or real plants (they may both be beneficial or not beneficial for your house). its about what kind of energy the object emits and how its energy affects the energy dynamics of your house
if the plants are the cause of your problems, you may have placed them at an area of earth foundation. possibly the north east, southwest or center.
however the plants my not be the cause of your uncomfortness.
it may be that your house has a bad feng shui orientation

How do I go about volunteering at a small local park?
I live in one of the oldest parts of my city; since moving here a few years ago, I've discovered a small park very close to my house that my friend and I enjoy visiting whenever we get the chance. (Safe haven?) It's pretty secluded and quaint, although it looks like a lot more work could be put into some of the landscaping and such. My friend and I came up with the idea of planting flowers/small trees there in the Spring and just adding some nice touches to it (information about local wildlife, hanging paper cranes from branches, etc.)--for the sake of getting out of the house and having an outdoor project to stick with. (Our city is very big and urban, so we saw it as something that had potential to be a 'small patch of paradise,' if that makes sense.)
My question is, would I need to contact anyone affiliated with the city and, if so, who? Are people free to plant flowers and such in public parks or do they need special permission?

visit your city or county parks %26amp; rec department. these are usually found in the phone book under city or online.
Reply:Yes : you can ask the " City Hall about an Volunteering project " where they'd have Department of Grounds %26amp;Maintenance services Crew Available ! please check with
both ok ?
Reply:Hi! Have you consulted with your City's Parks and Recreation Department? Also, your ideas sound similar to those I encountered as a young Boy Scout. There was an old amusement park in our town from the early 18th Century that had been neglected for a long time. It used to feature rides, paddle boats, and some zoo animals. It became overgrown and my father suggested our Boy Scout group clean up the area so the park could be used again. Perhaps your city's Historical Society may be interested in supporting your efforts (if that is the kind of thing you have in mind). You and your friend might find this kind of research quite interesting; learning how your park came into existence. Good Luck!

How do I make wedding invitations with pressed flowers?
We don't have a lot of money for our wedding invitations and want to make them ourselves. I have a lot of pressed flowers, all set to go, but I don't know how to glue them on to paper as part of the invitations. And after they're glued, do they need to go in some special envelope or plastic casing so the flowers don't come off? What other things do I need to do to make them look nice? Thanks for any help!
How do I make wedding invitations with pressed flowers?
It is always great to make your own. I made my own with feathers, ribbon and little rings. We scrolled them up and had my then 7 year old son hand deliver them. It was fun.
For your invitations, try this -
Carefully glue the flowers on, then brush a thin coat of MODGE PODGE over top. When you paint this on, it will look crappy, but it will dry clear. This will seal the flowers to the paper. You might want to test to see if the flowers need a second coat, but I would doubt that.
Modge Podge can be found in the glue section of the craft store. It will run anywhere between 4-6 dollars, depending on the size of the container.
No Modge Podge? Try watering down some glue. What you want is something that when it dries, it will be see thru.
If all else fails, go to a craft store and bug the sales people!
Good luck and bless your marriage!
Reply:Do you really want to do a first-time craft on your wedding invitations? Crafting for your wedding should be because you can do it better than store-bought, not to save money.
That said, most any paper glue will work on pressed flowers, because they're thin. Most people use handmade paper but that's another skill altogether. You could look around for some nice card stock.
You could get invitations from one of the inexpensive printers in the back of bridal magazines, then glue on your own flowers.
They would need maybe a sheet of tissue to protect them from the friction of the envelope.

How do I keep birds from eating flowers in my container garden?
I have also seen squirrels and chipmunks, so I bought Shake Away--it seemed to work for the most part if I keep putting it out there. I also bought a pinwheel and some hologram ribbon that is supposed to keep birds away, but these have not worked--the birds keep going into the containers. I've replaced some of my flowers already, and when I see that they've been dug up (sometimes they've been removed completely and put on the ground) I just replant and hope that the roots take hold again. I have always lived on the second floor with a porch garden, and never had problems like this, even though there were a lot of birds. Now I'm on the first floor and I can't get them to stay away. There were a lot of neighbors that had bird feeders, and management requested they be removed because the squirrel problem was getting worse. Are they so hungry now they are going for the flowers? I cannot put moth balls out, since they cause me to have an asthma attack. Any suggestions would help!
How do I keep birds from eating flowers in my container garden?
You can try sound at different intervals--loud bangs or such to scare the little buggers away. Of course there is always my huskies!!! Or maybe a cat--my Murphy hunts extremely well and chases all the birds from the lawn!
Birds are tough because you are not always there to shoo them away. My daughter just emailed a picture of a nest of hatchlings in her hanging annual plant off her front pourch. They do not harm the flowers, just nest between them.
Also you may try to go a season without any containers to see if they forget about you next year!
may you should feed them so they leave the flowers alone!!
In any event good luck! Jane

Will Spring Flowering Pansies survive frost or snow?
I've got some hanging baskets with spring flowering pansies in them and someone mentioned that we're in for some cold weather at the weekend with snow in parts. I've looked on the internet but opinions seem to differ and I wondered if anyone out there could give me any advice. I don't want them to die but on the other hand I don't always get to see the weather forecast and could get caught out at a later date.
Will Spring Flowering Pansies survive frost or snow?
I think it always depends on how cold and how long the cold is going to stay around. If the freeze is at night and only stays below 32º for an hour or so, you will be fine. My pansies have survived more than that and are in full bloom right now.
Reply:We had some snow here in the Dallas area a week ago. All of the pansies survived with no problems.
Reply:Survive snow, yes. Survive frost (if it's heavy), probably not. Surprisingly, snow will protect your flowers from getting killed by a hard freeze. It acts as a blanket. But if the forecast is for well-below freezing with winds, the flowers may be damaged. You can protect them by putting an old towel over them overnight.
Reply:Pansies get flattened by frosty weather,but they perk up again when its over making a new set of flowers.In the very cold eastern american seaboard they could pop their clogs though.In most of the UK its okay
Reply:As far as I can tell Pansie is a terrible name to call someone you think is weak. Pansies in zone seven thrive even through the cold snaps we have here. For example: It was 70 degrees 2 weeks ago on Sunday, snowed all day Thursday and was 50 again on Friday. It only got down to like 28 that time but it's known to get down in the teens. Pansies are strong plants and can handle way more than you think. And even if there laying flat on the ground from some bad weather most of the time they will get back up and go again.
Reply:yes but if they don't(they are just a bunch of pansies)

Do nonphotosynthetic parts of plants (e.g. roots) still have chloroplasts within the cells?
-Also, how does the Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction) work without Light Reactions if they are dependent on eachother for ATP, NADPH-H+, ADP + Pi , and NADP+? Is that so much ATP is produced by plants that it does not have to be constantly recharged?
-Do parts that are not green on plants (like flower petals) contain chloroplasts? How are they different colors (not green, but red, yellow etc.)?
-How do the chloroplasts "die" in the autumn?
Do nonphotosynthetic parts of plants (e.g. roots) still have chloroplasts within the cells?
-Yes they still have chloroplasts but in smaller quantities.
-The Calvin Cycle takes place during the day, it is only in CAM plants that the ATP is produced during the day and then used at night. While the light reactions take place the Calvin Cycle is taking place. Most plants rest at night like us.
-Yes they contain chloroplast but mostly Caratenoids, which is the pigment that produces the red,yellow and orange color.

What does the Macro Mode do in the camera of K750i?
I have a Sony Ericsson K750i mobile and in the camera part there is an option called "Macro Mode" with a Flower for the icon.I guessed that it's something pertained to Auto Focus and I tried turning it on and off and took pics with both modes but I didn't see any differences....Can anyone help me?
What does the Macro Mode do in the camera of K750i?
Macro photography is a type of close-up photography. The classical definition is photography in which the image on film or electronic sensor is as large or larger than the subject. Therefore, on 35mm film (for example), the camera has to have the ability to focus on an area at least as small as 24×36 mm, as this is the size of the image on the film. This is a magnification of 1:1.
For example, suppose a photographer wants to take a macro photograph of a coin on film. With the lens set for a magnification of 1:1, he or she moves the camera to and fro until the coin is in focus, then takes the picture. After having the film developed, the photographer can place the coin on the film, and the coin will be exactly the same size as the picture of the coin on the negative or slide.
In recent years, the term macro has come to mean being able to focus on a subject close enough so that when a standard 102×152 mm (4×6 inch) print is made, the image is life-size or larger.
Next, the photographer photographs it from farther away, this time, setting the lens to a magnification of 1:4, again moving to and fro until the coin is in focus, and taking the picture. The real coin is now four times as big across as the image; that is, the image and the coin are in a 1:4 relationship. If a 4× enlargement print (about 100×150 mm) is made, the size of the coin will match the size of the photo of the coin. That is, the image is life-size, or 1:1, in the print.

If the metal rose you have look similar to this -%26gt; http://www.metalprojects.no-ip.com/rose%... from the website Metal Project Plans -%26gt; http://www.metalprojects.no-ip.com/
Then it's safe to use a regular oil fragrance on the flower. Such as fragrances shown here -%26gt; http://www.saveonscents.com/index.php/cP... Before spraying the rose with more fragrance make sure you wipe down or rinse the flower to remove the old fragrance residue and let dry.

What flowering shurbs are heat tolerant?
I would like to plant two flowering shrubs in my front yard. They need to be very heat and sun tolerant. It faces north so it gets the hottest part of the afternoon there. I live in Missouri if that helps.
What flowering shurbs are heat tolerant?
I have a zone 4 garden with very hot summers and have found that the following shrubs thrive once established:
Potentilla Shrubs bloom most of the summer
Spireas there are early and mid season blooming varieties
Deutzia blooms in Spring
Lilacs blooms in late Spring
Honeysuckle blooms in early Summer
Barberries are grown more for their leaf colour
Purple leaf Sand Cherries bloom in Spring and have nice burgundy leaves

How do you steam an artichoke in the mircowave?
I tried to steam an artichoke in the microwave last night and it was only half cooked. I got it wet and put it in a glass pan, covered it with plastic wrap and put it in for 6 minutes. Should I have flipped it after 3 or something? I've steamed every vegetable you can think of this way and I've never had a problem.
Also, once I got down into the middle it was really spikey and fuzzy, like the inside to a flower. It wasn't mold or anything, it was definitely part of the artichoke. Is this normal or was it over/under ripe?
How do you steam an artichoke in the mircowave?
I found a great website for you. Here is how you do it:
First you must prepare the artichoke. Here is how it is done:
Start by washing the Artichoke under cold, running water.
Trim the end of the stem to desired length, such as 1 inch. Remember the stem is an extension of the Artichoke Heart and is edible!
Trim the top of the Artichoke by cutting off 1/4 of the top (about an inch) and discard.
Use scissors to trim rest of thorns off the top of each Artichoke petal – only if desired. (This is not necessary to have a great eating experience.)
To preserve the color, immediately rub any cut surface of the Artichoke with lemon juice to prevent browning caused by oxidation. (Optional)
Place Artichoke “stem up” in a deep, microwave-safe bowl.
Add 1-2 inches of water. Cover bowl with microwavable plate or with plastic wrap.
Jumbo sized Artichoke: Cook on high for 12-15 minutes.
Medium sized Artichoke: Cook on high for 7-10 minutes.
Depending on the size and quantity of Artichokes you are cooking, it may be necessary to heat an additional 1-5 minutes to obtain complete tenderness throughout the Artichoke, as microwave oven cooking times may vary. Keep covered and let the Artichoke stand for 5 minutes prior to serving.

How do you dry Camomile? What part do you use - all or just the flowers?
Just keep the flower. You can lay them out on paper in a sunny window for a couple of days or speed things up with a food dehydrator. After they dry put them in an airtight jar or zip-lock and keep them in a cool dark cupboard until use. I usually steep 5-6 flowers in a cup of boiling water and add a little honey and lemon.
How do you dry Camomile? What part do you use - all or just the flowers?
use the flower heads for making tea. If you have the whole plant, you can pick a bunch of the flowers like you did when you were a kid taking them to your mom. Tie the stems together in a bunch (or use a rubber band), hang this bunch upside down somewhere for a few days (from a nail in the wall or a hook above a window), then when they are dried out cut off the flower heads and keep them in a ziplock baggie until you use them for tea.
Reply:only use the leaves and you dont have to dry them before use in fact the tea tastes better when the leaves are fresh

Why are my Hydrangeas only blooming around the rim of the cluster?
Each year my Hydrangeas get full and tall, but then they only flower around the outer rim of each head of flowers. The buds in the very center never open. The plant is in a part sun and part shade location. What am I doing wrong?
Why are my Hydrangeas only blooming around the rim of the cluster?
Do you have lace cap hydgrangeas? Check out this link to see some pictures of some. They are Hydrangea macrophylla, which have lace cap flowers and some have mop head flowers. You seem to be describing the lace caps.
Let me know!

Reply:Yes the hydrangea flower you describe is a lacecap style flower. If you want the big 'fluffy' full flowers you need to buy 'mop top' flowered hydrangeas.
Buy in some additional varieties there are hundreds to pick from and it sounds like you have ideal conditions.

Is my potted anthurium dying?
Our dog knocked over my potted anthurium and now all but two of the leaves are gone. It seemed as if it was about to put out a flower/spathe/that coloured leafy looking part and now that part is all withered. I know very little about caring for such a plant but have been doing some reading up and following some basic rules, not too much water, no direct light but enough and so on. I'm really distressed as this plant was a gift and I really love it and want it to survive. Our dog also knocked out the wood chips so I've tried replacing them with dried mango leaves. I live in Jamaica and am surrounded by mango trees. But i don't know what else to do and I don't want it to die. Can someone please help me save it and give me some tips for its care in general. Thanks in advance.
Is my potted anthurium dying?
Getting knocked over should not cause that much stress. I work in a greenhouse and we have knocked over our anthuriums numerous times. Did the dog break the plant? That would be a cause for stress. From what you are saying though, it personally sounds to me as if you are over watering. They hate to be constantly moist. The general rule with watering this plants is "When in doubt, do without." A plant is easier to come out of underwatering than overwatering.
Anyways, best thing to do would be bring it to your local nursery and see what they think about it. Don't give up on it, it will come back with the proper care.
Reply:It may have gone into shock when it was knocked over. Get to the nursery, and get some vitamin B1 and follow the directions, as soon as possible.

Annual flowers that can live in part sun/part shade?
My backyard is a mix of sun and shade. Full shade flowers like impatiens get to much sun there, while full sun flowers like putunia's and vinca's cant get enough sun. Other than begonia's are there any other compact type annual flowers that I could concider?
Annual flowers that can live in part sun/part shade?
I have the same dilemma as our garden faces west and gets the hotter afternoon sun. Impatients are my favorites, but the sun and heat is too much. Last year we tried the New Guinea Impatients with much sucess, we got so many compliments that we will be planting them again. Other low height annuals are Alyssum, and Dianthus which offers lots of reliable color that has also worked well in our, part sun/part shade garden.
Reply:Browallia grows in full or partial sun. The flowers are blue or white, and they brow to be 12 " to 15" in height. Maintenance is low. Coleus is good in shade, and the foliage is chartreuse, apricot, copper and bronze. Cosmos thrives in full to partial sun.
Try using Miracle Grow soil. It's not too expensive, and it feeds the flowers for 3 months. They bloom like crazy.
Reply:Some hostas thrive on part sun and shade and they come back prettier than ever
Reply:I have had great luck with petunias and marigolds - they are hardy, will handle the heat, and will make you smile everythime you look at them!

Music WILD FLOWER from Bee Gees?
Does Anyone know the music Wild Flower from Bee Gees? I´m not sure wether wild flower is the title or just part of the refrain. If it´s just part of the refrain I would like to know its title.
Music WILD FLOWER from Bee Gees?
The song is called
"Wildflower" by the Bee Gees
Here are the lyrics:
Wildflower
Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know
It's crazy that I'm clear out of my mind
A wonderful place to be
Wildflower
Sweet as the morning light
if I blink an eye will you go
I'm starting to care much more then I dare
A wonderful thing to see
And what do we know
First say you love me
And then say you leave me
But we never say goodbye
God you're an angel
But even an angel must choose
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
There's only this love of mine
Wildflower
Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know
If older is wise
One look in your eyes
I'm younger then I should be
And only time
Waiting for you
to grow
First say you love me and then say you'll leave me
But we never say goodbye
God you're an angel
But only an angel must choose
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running There's only this love of mine
Hope this helps!
Reply:Just to add to the answer already given, the song comes from their rare LP/CD "Living Eyes". The lead brother on the song was Maurice Gibb. It was recorded back in 1981. The CD was rereleased shortly in 2004 but not world wide. If you wish to purchase the CD your best bet would be e-bay. Report Abuse

Reply:I've been told Lion's poo will stop cats pooing in flower beds....... the problem is, you then end up with a garden full of Lion poo instead. So yes, a tricky one, I don't suppose you have a sack and a bucket of water lying about? Hmmm, Perhaps not.
Reply:citrus oils orange peels are supposed to put the cat off going anywhere where its been put, apparently they dont like the smell.
Reply:Try a dead cat. They probably won't hang out there anymore.
Reply:Pave the area they go on, once they`ve started using an area and put their scent down it`s very hard to stop.
Reply:You know this plastic mesh with little squares, like an inch wide squares, often used to go around trees to protect them etc? Or used in plasters (tensar geogrid SS40 is one type, for instance). If you cut this or a similar strong mesh at the shape of the soil, you also cut slots to pass the plants through, anyway you got the idea, you cover the soil with the mesh, so they can't dig, so they don't go there.
Reply:toy snakes that they sell in Woolworth's works for me.Lay them around the garden and the cat will keep clear.
Reply:I have a multi cat household and I also have a lovely garden, with plenty of plants.
Cats will go where there is a gap in the boarder and especially when its freshly dug over.
I plant ground cover plants that spread so there are very little gaps in the front of my boarders and where there is a gap at the front I place an upside down plastic plant pot. I allow them to use the back of the boarder if they wish to and we compromise that way.
My garden is in their territory after all.

Reply:Go to your pet supplies shop. There are several sprays you can buy (some more toxic than others, so choose one you can feel good about!) to keep them kitties away from your garden altogether.
The one I recently bought is called "OFF LIMITS!" by Garmon Corporation, and is a natural herbal spray that seems to do the job. I paid $12.39 for a 32 oz. spray bottle. Needs to be resprayed about every other day.
Good luck!
Reply:You can buy sprays from any good pet store that you can spray that should deter the cats from using it as their bathroom. Dig up the soil that they've used and put in new soil so that their smell won't be there and watch them while they're in the garden, use a water spray bottle and spray them with water if you see them assume the position, this should deter them from using it as a bathroom.
You can also try putting down lemon or orange peel as cats hate the smell of citrus and will avoid putting their scent there.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Dig out all the dirt they've used as a kitty potty because the dirt will continue to attract them no matter what you do. If you put the dirt where you want them to "go" and replace the dirt in your flower beds with some new dirt, that might work. I'd put a rough shredded bark mulch on the flowers, too. It'll conserve moisture for the flowers and discourage the cats. Another natural thing you can do is put some fresh orange peels in the flower bed. Cats don't like the smell of citrus. I'd be careful of chemicals and things that would bother human noses. (Of course, nothing bothers worse than a kitty loo in the flower beds!)

Reply:Use a layer of gravel, or pine cones, works like a charm.
Reply:When my husband moved in, he brought his cat, and it was going poo in all my flowerbeds, and digging up my flowers too. So I got some large river rock, and put it in between all the flowers. I basically covered up all the dirt. That solved the problem, and my flower beds look more decorative too!
Reply:I can't remember the spelling of this, so bear with me. But cyann pepper keeps the cats away. I know it is red.
Reply:There's a product called 'Silent Roar' which is pellets impregnated with essence of Lion dung.The cats will think a lion has been marking its territory and wont dare to challenge its authority by using the same toilet.This method of marking territory is used by the wild (big and small) cats and it works.
There is an ultrasound method which works really well which works by emitting a high pitch noise at a frequency we can't hear but that cats find extremely unpleasant so they steer well clear.It works with an infra red sensor which detects an approaching cat's body heat. It's quite expensive £50+ but well worth it..it works.
Reply:Try sitting out by your flower bed but not too close. When you see one of the cats start to go, give them a little harmless sprits with a small water gun. It won't hurt them but it will not be enjoyable. Do this as many times as you can over a few weeks and try not to let them know you are doing it. That way, they will associate the flower bed with something unpleasant. Hope it works :)
Reply:The only thing I can think of is to put some kind of chicken wire around the flower beds. This kept cats out of my garden.
Reply:I have just read, that a light spraying of WD40, around the chosen spot keeps them at bay. Try it!
Reply:Your cat thinks you are planting flowers in its toilet.
Reply:Mix it with the Mud of Flower Bed. It is a good fertilizer.
Reply:A Spray called Cat -a- pult, bought at the local do-it -all store...
Reply:Cats love dirt. They will go into your garden, and play in your indoor plant dirt too. Inside, I have always sprayed a bit a plain water in a bottle at my animals if they were doing something wrong like getting into plants, jumping on to the table, etc. As far as outside, there may be manure in your garden as a fertilizer and the cats smell it, so that's where they will go. Planting Marigold Flowers in your garden may help. Most animals and bugs don't like the smell. Also make sure you have some bone meal and/or blood meal mixed with your garden triple mix when you plant flowers or put bulbs in. I hope this helps you.
Good luck,
Mary
Reply:First of all, are the cats doing any harm to your flower bed? Are they uprooting the flowers?
If that isn't the case, then consider the "poo" as a gift. It makes for good fertilizer.
When we owned our first house we had a dog and would bury the poo on the side by the fence. Because we were new owners our tenant didn't know about this. not that we were keeping it a secret.
Summer came and we saw her planting her tomatoes in that same spot. When they were fully grown, she commented that she never had such large tomatoes before. That's when she found out where we bury ed the dog poo. From that point on she always planted her tomatoes in that spot.
So if your cat and friends aren't uprooting your flowers consider you just reveived a gift of fertilizer.
If it isn't possible to use it as a natural fertilizer, there are products at pet supply stores that you spray on furniture to keep them off. Maybe it'll work in your flower beds.
Good luck one way or the other ......
Reply:My dad had this problem and solved it by putting a few thorns in his flower bed the cats decided to do their business elsewhere.
Reply:Clap loudly and shout if you catch them weeing, and if you have a water pistol, squirt that at them. It'll put them off weeing there again.
(I do this for the dog too - when she tries to nip the guinea pigs through their run wire. Now, if she sees me even reach for the water gun, she runs for it.)

The one I recently bought is called "OFF LIMITS!" by Garmon Corporation, and is a natural herbal spray that seems to do the job. I paid $12.39 for a 32 oz. spray bottle. Needs to be resprayed about every other day.
Good luck!
Reply:You can buy sprays from any good pet store that you can spray that should deter the cats from using it as their bathroom. Dig up the soil that they've used and put in new soil so that their smell won't be there and watch them while they're in the garden, use a water spray bottle and spray them with water if you see them assume the position, this should deter them from using it as a bathroom.
You can also try putting down lemon or orange peel as cats hate the smell of citrus and will avoid putting their scent there.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Dig out all the dirt they've used as a kitty potty because the dirt will continue to attract them no matter what you do. If you put the dirt where you want them to "go" and replace the dirt in your flower beds with some new dirt, that might work. I'd put a rough shredded bark mulch on the flowers, too. It'll conserve moisture for the flowers and discourage the cats. Another natural thing you can do is put some fresh orange peels in the flower bed. Cats don't like the smell of citrus. I'd be careful of chemicals and things that would bother human noses. (Of course, nothing bothers worse than a kitty loo in the flower beds!)

Reply:Use a layer of gravel, or pine cones, works like a charm.
Reply:When my husband moved in, he brought his cat, and it was going poo in all my flowerbeds, and digging up my flowers too. So I got some large river rock, and put it in between all the flowers. I basically covered up all the dirt. That solved the problem, and my flower beds look more decorative too!
Reply:I can't remember the spelling of this, so bear with me. But cyann pepper keeps the cats away. I know it is red.
Reply:There's a product called 'Silent Roar' which is pellets impregnated with essence of Lion dung.The cats will think a lion has been marking its territory and wont dare to challenge its authority by using the same toilet.This method of marking territory is used by the wild (big and small) cats and it works.
There is an ultrasound method which works really well which works by emitting a high pitch noise at a frequency we can't hear but that cats find extremely unpleasant so they steer well clear.It works with an infra red sensor which detects an approaching cat's body heat. It's quite expensive £50+ but well worth it..it works.
Reply:Try sitting out by your flower bed but not too close. When you see one of the cats start to go, give them a little harmless sprits with a small water gun. It won't hurt them but it will not be enjoyable. Do this as many times as you can over a few weeks and try not to let them know you are doing it. That way, they will associate the flower bed with something unpleasant. Hope it works :)
Reply:The only thing I can think of is to put some kind of chicken wire around the flower beds. This kept cats out of my garden.
Reply:I have just read, that a light spraying of WD40, around the chosen spot keeps them at bay. Try it!
Reply:Your cat thinks you are planting flowers in its toilet.
Reply:Mix it with the Mud of Flower Bed. It is a good fertilizer.
Reply:A Spray called Cat -a- pult, bought at the local do-it -all store...
Reply:Cats love dirt. They will go into your garden, and play in your indoor plant dirt too. Inside, I have always sprayed a bit a plain water in a bottle at my animals if they were doing something wrong like getting into plants, jumping on to the table, etc. As far as outside, there may be manure in your garden as a fertilizer and the cats smell it, so that's where they will go. Planting Marigold Flowers in your garden may help. Most animals and bugs don't like the smell. Also make sure you have some bone meal and/or blood meal mixed with your garden triple mix when you plant flowers or put bulbs in. I hope this helps you.
Good luck,
Mary
Reply:First of all, are the cats doing any harm to your flower bed? Are they uprooting the flowers?
If that isn't the case, then consider the "poo" as a gift. It makes for good fertilizer.
When we owned our first house we had a dog and would bury the poo on the side by the fence. Because we were new owners our tenant didn't know about this. not that we were keeping it a secret.
Summer came and we saw her planting her tomatoes in that same spot. When they were fully grown, she commented that she never had such large tomatoes before. That's when she found out where we bury ed the dog poo. From that point on she always planted her tomatoes in that spot.
So if your cat and friends aren't uprooting your flowers consider you just reveived a gift of fertilizer.
If it isn't possible to use it as a natural fertilizer, there are products at pet supply stores that you spray on furniture to keep them off. Maybe it'll work in your flower beds.
Good luck one way or the other ......
Reply:My dad had this problem and solved it by putting a few thorns in his flower bed the cats decided to do their business elsewhere.
Reply:Clap loudly and shout if you catch them weeing, and if you have a water pistol, squirt that at them. It'll put them off weeing there again.
(I do this for the dog too - when she tries to nip the guinea pigs through their run wire. Now, if she sees me even reach for the water gun, she runs for it.)

Reply:Previous studies had suggested the presence of a warp in the outer parts of Andromeda's stellar disk. The new findings appear to confirm those observations and suggest that the warp in Andromeda may be the most extreme case of a warped stellar disk ever observed in a spiral galaxy. Possible causes of the warp include interactions between Andromeda and its smaller satellite galaxies.
Many spiral galaxies, including the Milky Way, appear to have warps in the outer reaches of their stellar disks. The rotating body of stars and gas that characterizes a spiral galaxy is generally flat, but the outer regions may deviate from the plane of the disk, like an old record album exposed to too much heat. The warp tends to occur at the outer edges, while the inner part of the stellar disk remains flat. These warps are very difficult to demonstrate conclusively, however, because the outer portions of the stellar disk are extremely faint compared to the bright central region.
"The faint outer parts of the galaxy are more susceptible to warping because they are less strongly bound by the gravitational forces that keep the disk in a plane, and they are also more susceptible to the influence of neighboring galaxies," Guhathakurta explained.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a good candidate for studying a warped stellar disk because the plane of its disk is inclined toward the Earth at an angle of about 77 degrees (an inclination angle of 90 degrees would give a perfect edge-on view of the disk). The inclination of Andromeda's disk gives it an elliptical shape in the sky.
The new findings are based on two distinct sets of observations by Guhathakurta and his coworkers. The first set of observations was obtained using a large-format digital camera on the 0.9-meter Burrell Schmidt telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. The images showed that the inner part of Andromeda's stellar disk looks like a perfect ellipse, but in the extreme outer parts it starts to deviate. The warping gives the galaxy a slightly S-shaped appearance, with the outer edge tilted above the plane of the disk on one side and below it on the opposite side.
Older observations using photographic plates had suggested the same thing, but the features are so faint that they were at the limit of photographic detectability and were obscured by artifacts on the plates, Guhathakurta said. Modern digital cameras are far more sensitive than photographic plates, although they cannot yet cover as wide a field of view. In order to image the entire stellar disk of Andromeda, which covers an area of the sky several times the size of the full moon, the researchers had to take multiple images of adjacent areas of the sky and fit them together into a mosaic.
"The S-shaped pattern is very clear in the digital data. If you look at the digital images and the photographic work side by side, you can see the same thing, but you can also see why the photographic data was not very reliable," Guhathakurta said.
The researchers also obtained additional evidence suggesting that the degree of warping in Andromeda's stellar disk may be especially dramatic. This second set of observations was the unanticipated by-product of an unrelated study of stars outside the disk of the galaxy. Spiral galaxies consist of two components: the stellar disk and a ball-shaped collection of stars called the spheroid. The stars that populate the spheroid and the disk have very different properties. But Guhathakurta and Reitzel found stars with the properties of disk stars in a location far removed from the disk.
"We were trying to get as far away from the disk as possible to pick out stars belonging purely to the spheroid, and we had calculated the probability of finding a disk star where we were looking was much less than 1 percent," Guhathakurta said.
Much to their surprise, however, four of the 30 stars they observed had properties characteristic of disk stars. Reitzel, who conducted the study as a graduate student at UCSC, had set out to study the chemical compositions of red-giant stars in the spheroid component of Andromeda, using the LRIS spectrograph on the 10-meter Keck II Telescope in Hawaii. These stars would be expected to have relatively low abundances of metals. In addition, their random orbits (unlike the coherent motions of stars in the disk) should result in a broad distribution of velocities relative to the Sun. In both metallicity and velocity, the four stars stood out as having the properties of disk stars.
"This is only suggestive evidence, but it is exciting because, if confirmed, it could mean there is a very extreme warp in the stellar disk of Andromeda," Guhathakurta said.
The researchers hope to continue their investigation of Andromeda's warped stellar disk by conducting more detailed observations at Kitt Peak in fall 2001 as part of Choi's Ph.D. thesis work at UCSC. This research is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and a grant from UC's California Space Institute.

I am growing TickleMe Plants with my students. They love to tickle them and watch them move. Do they flower?
I ordered my seeds from TickleMePlant.com
The seeds had sprouted for the most part in less than a week as we kept their temperature above 75 degrees by placing them near the heater.
In less than a month they have become ticklish. Kids are shocked and excited when the plant moves after being tickled.
My kids are loving growing these amazing TickleMe plants from seed (Mimosa pudica) . They would like to hear from anyone who has successfully grown the TickleMe Plant. I have collected some information but any additional information from real successful growers would be very much appreciated.
I want each of my students to have a successful experience and the more information from people that have been successful growing the TickleMe Plant, the better. My kids will never forget this experience. Has anyone ever gotten them to flower and make seed. Wow- If we could grow TickleMe Plants from our own seed that would be awesome.
Please write us soon!
My class and I thank you in advance
I am growing TickleMe Plants with my students. They love to tickle them and watch them move. Do they flower?
Yes they do flower.
The Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica L.) is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched, re-opening within minutes.
Mimosa pudica is native to Brazil, but is now a pantropical weed.
Other names given to this curious plant are TickleMe Plant tm, Humble plant, Shame plant, Sleeping grass, Prayer Plant, Touch-me-not, Makahiya (Philippines, meaning "shy"), and Mori Vivi (West Indies).
The Chinese name for this plant translates to "shyness grass".
The species epithet, pudica, is Latin for "bashful" or "shrinking". Because of its curious nature and easy procreation. Its Sinhala name is Nidikumba, where 'nidi' means 'sleep'.
The seeds are currently marketed to children under the name TickleMe Plant tm.
The stem is erect in young plants, but becomes creeping or trailing with age.
The stem is slender, branching, and sparsely to densely prickly, growing to a length of 1.5 m (5 ft). The leaves are bipinnately compound, with one or two pinnae pairs, and 10-26 leaflets per pinna.
The petioles are also prickly. Pedunculate (stalked) pale pink or purple flower heads arise from the leaf axils. The globose to ovoid heads are 8-10 mm in diameter (excluding the stamens).
On close examination, it is seen that the floret petals are red in their upper part and the filaments are pink to lavender. The fruit consists of clusters of 2-8 pods from 1-2 cm long each, these prickly on the margins.
The pods break into 2-5 segments and contain pale brown seeds some 2.5 mm long.
Plant movement---
Mimosa pudica is well known for its rapid plant movement.
In the evening the leaflets will fold together and the whole leaf droops downward.
It then re-opens at sunrise.
This type of motion has been termed nyctinastic movement.
The leaves also close up under various other stimuli, such as touching, warming, or shaking.
The stimulus can also be transmitted to neighbouring leaves.
These types of movements have been termed seismonastic movements.
The cause is a loss of turgor pressure. The movement is caused by "a rapid loss of pressure in strategically situated cells that cause the leaves to droop right before one’s eyes".
Varities -
There are at least two distinct varieties of this plant.
The first is more hardy and is ornamented with small planar thorns along the stems and trunk.
The second is more temperamental, does not respond well to transplantation, and lacks thorns.
Both types exhibit the same motion, share the same leaf structure, and produce similar blooms.

Reply:I have seen these growing in the wild in tropical north Queensland, Australia. I am not sure whether it is "mimosa pudica" which originally came from Brazil but it certainly is one of the mimosa type. They are called the "sensitive plant" here in Australia. This wikipedia article shows one with a typical mimosa type flower.
The plant will probably produce a little bean-like seed pod if the flower is fertilised. You may need several plants to guarantee this. Pollination is by insects, I would guess since the common Australian wattle trees which are in the mimosa family have roughly similar flowers (and leaves) are insect pollinated.

How do you go about writing a thankyou letter?
I have to write thankyou letters to people, thanking them for taking part, and messages of sympathy, and flowers, at my mums funeral.
What do I say, and how do I write them, as its not like a normal thankyou.
I would also like to thankyou all for all your words of comfort and prayers. I am honoured to know so many good friends.
Thankyou all so much, and God bless
How do you go about writing a thankyou letter?
First of all I'm sorry to hear about your mum, even though I didn't know her, and my thoughts are with you.
Here are some tips:
1) Thank the person for coming
2) Let them know how much it meant to have them there
3) Recall a brief memory of how they made an impact on your mum's life.
I think the most important thing is not to go overboard, they know you're going through a sad time in your life, and they will understand.
Like I said, my thoughts are with you.
Jen
Reply:The simplest way around this is to buy or make some cards with an apropriate pictur or something on the card, with the words thankyou in side, and then to make it personal, you should reiterate what you are thanking them for, then put your name at the bottom.
Reply:First, I am very sorry for your loss. Typically, the funeral home provide these for you. Ask the director. There are thank you cards out there for this circumstance as well....you may add an additional message it you like, but it is not necessary.

Reply:Dear
Words cannot express how greatful I am to you for your support since the death of my Mother. Your actions have been of great comfort to me.
I think something like that is enough, people I think will be be suprised that you've taken the time to thank them so that will be fine.
Reply:Dear Dave,
You need to start the letter with:
Dear NAME,
I really like to thank you for coming to my moms funeral. I really appreiciate all that you did during her lifetime. I know that she is in a better place and will be watching over all of us.
Thank You,

What do I say, and how do I write them, as its not like a normal thankyou.
I would also like to thankyou all for all your words of comfort and prayers. I am honoured to know so many good friends.
Thankyou all so much, and God bless
How do you go about writing a thankyou letter?
First of all I'm sorry to hear about your mum, even though I didn't know her, and my thoughts are with you.
Here are some tips:
1) Thank the person for coming
2) Let them know how much it meant to have them there
3) Recall a brief memory of how they made an impact on your mum's life.
I think the most important thing is not to go overboard, they know you're going through a sad time in your life, and they will understand.
Like I said, my thoughts are with you.
Jen
Reply:The simplest way around this is to buy or make some cards with an apropriate pictur or something on the card, with the words thankyou in side, and then to make it personal, you should reiterate what you are thanking them for, then put your name at the bottom.
Reply:First, I am very sorry for your loss. Typically, the funeral home provide these for you. Ask the director. There are thank you cards out there for this circumstance as well....you may add an additional message it you like, but it is not necessary.

Who is the person who takes black and white photos of children but has a hint of color in some spots?
the pictures are of children are black and white but some parts are colored like the bow of a hat or a flower or the lips of the child. i have three pictures but can't remember who does them or where to buy them.

When you first open it, it appears like a myspace graphics site -- look at the top of the page where it says "animation" and click there - you upload pictures from your computer and you can even remove zits and do cosmetic surgery on it -- it's awesome. It will also do what you are talking about but I can't remember what it's called. This site is one you have to play around with a lot --- it doesn't have a lot of direction on it but you can try everything on there.

I have a Gerber Daisy pot on my front porch, and I was wondering when I water it?
if I should water the petals of the flowers also, or if I should just water the soil part. It just seems to me like the flower would want its petals wet also, but I don't really know.
I have a Gerber Daisy pot on my front porch, and I was wondering when I water it?
You water the soil, when it is dry, so check it daily.
Reply:Water just at the soil level. The flowers will last longer if they stay dry.
Reply:When watering your gerber daisies take care to not get the leaves and flower petals wet. Constant dampness could encourage mold and mildew and fungus issues. Slugs just love them so get the slug bait available not harmful to pets. Always water daily and never allow to dry out. Pots dry out quickly during the summer so water twice or more daily depending on the temps. An alternative watering technique are the soaker systems which are attached to timers and automatically water the pots. I have had great success with this technique and I can go on vacation with no worries, because I know all my potted plants are being watered automatically and will look great when I return. Any garden center carries the watering system. Good Luck

Anyone who can spot a pic of this hairdo i will gladly give 10 pts?
okay..i will have to describe it for you in detail. I have seen a pic somewhere of this hairstyle and i desperately want it for my sisters wedding which i am the maid of honor. It is not a up-do..it is a down do. the hair is not in a ponytail or anything but all the pieces are pinned in the back and sides of the head and you have to have really curly long hair for it. the curls are pinned together so it looks like its cascading i believe and sometimes you find little flowers in a bunch of parts of the curls. so ya..i dont know if you know what im talking about but i hope you do. 10 points for whoever can find me a picture of this ..thank you!

Ideas for Octagon Shaped Window?
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to cover an octagon window I have in my bathroom? The window itself is leaded glass with a flower design and some parts of the flower is frosted glass. I still feel like you can see through it even though parts are frosted. Any ideas???
Ideas for Octagon Shaped Window?
look at a store for frosted spray, it will give your window a frosted look so no one can see in,
like the spray used on xmas trees, snow spray,
Reply:you could see a glass co. and purchase a decorative glass and install over the window, i would put it on outside so you can syill enjoy the leaded glass. there are a lot of decorative glass types that will also look nice on outside
Reply:The window sounds lovely...and I would hate to see it covered. But if you insist, I would suggest you treat it like any other shaped window...with a curtain rod above and one curtain that can be pulled away to one side when open - that way, you'll see the whole window...
I wouldn't try to get creative with an octagon shaped covering...
Reply:I would try to install custom mini shutters..to .make it pop.
Reply:Acid etching is not a difficult at-home-project. You could try etching the transparent parts so that the window still maintains its beauty but isn't so revealing.
Here's a link for the supplies you'll need.

Which is the most superior plant part of a flowering plant?
the flower is what separates it from other plants, attracting birds and insects to pollenate the plant. however the plant requires all of its "parts" for survival, eg leaves with chlorophyll for photosynthesis, roots for water and ion uptake, and the stem with the xylem and phloem for water nutrient transport. so, no part is superior to another, but the flower appears to be the most "advanced" part.
Which is the most superior plant part of a flowering plant?
following on from what hurrricane said, maybe the word you are looking for is 'apex' ... usually the apex is vegetative, with an apical bud that produces new stem/leaf growth -- but in some plants, as suggested by someone else, the apex eventually produces a flower or flowers. In this case, growth continues from lateral (axillary) buds ... in some cases, however, the flower is really "terminal" because the plant dies after it has flowered once and set its seed. The Corypha palm is an example of this.
Reply:Are you some kind of new breed of plant nazi,what do you mean by superior, all the bits are important ,but the stem what collects the pollen ,could be the answer that you are
after
Reply:Roses, Ü
Reply:the colas
Reply:I think by the word "superior" you mean "distal" or "terminal". In a plant that has terminal inflorescences (those that bloom first at the end of the stem and then subsequently in order down the stem), I think the most distal part embryonically would be the stamen in most cases.

Why carbon content is higher in stem of bird of paradise stem compared to other part of it?
i do my research and found that difference plant contain difference % of carbon and nitrogen.why carbon content is higher in stem of bird of paradise stem compared to other part of it?
but for Garden balsam why %C is higher in it leaves compared to it's stem, flower and roots?
Hibiscus's stem has more%C than other part of it?
can anyone explain?
Why carbon content is higher in stem of bird of paradise stem compared to other part of it?
if you are doing this kind of research why are you doing it if you can't understand your results?
Reply:Any plant region with high densities of woody structural elements would have a high carbon level because cellulose and lignin are carbohydrates. This may include leaves because many plants make them tougher to support a large horizontal photosynthetic area or to discourage herbivory. Only in regions of active metabolism with nitrogen rich proteins would see the ratio shift in a plant.
Impatiens balsamina if grown as an annual does not develop a woody stem so the cellulose %26amp; lignin content would be lower. Lignification happens to mature vascular xylem tissue to provide support.
The areas with proteins would be the cambium or apical growth in stems or roots.
Reply:does it have anything to do with some sort of process taking place in the parts of those plants

Hyacinth (flower).........................
I planted a few Hyacinth (blue, Jacinto) in my flower bed. According to the care instructions it said part sun, medium water which I followed exactly..They bloomed and were very attractive then the buds died and now they are just green leaves in my garden. Will they bloom again or should I just remove them from the garden all together?
Hyacinth (flower).........................
When you plant bulbs such as a hyacinth, you get an early spring bloom, then as the bloom dies off you are left with green leaves which will soon yellow and dissipate. However, just leave them where they are--you don't even have to water them. I grew some in a pot in my office and after they bloomed and died off, I didn't water the plant until I saw them sprouting the next spring and they came up pink, blue, and white--I'd just put a little bulb food on them along with some mulch to keep away bugs.
Reply:Leave the leaves alone. They are solar collectors, storing energy to the bulb below. When the leaves yellow, pull them off.......carefully. Next spring the plant will send up new flowers. Bulbs are generally once blooming per year.
Reply:It will bloom every year, but don't expect it to be blue unless you have exactly the right PH balance to the soil. Try adding some beach sand to the soil around the plant. Out here they only bloom blue (or pink) naturally on Cape Cod. Inland they are all white.

Surely sectarian songs are part of our heritage..like flower of scotland... no chips just wanna get answers?
it is part of our heritage whether people like it or not .it seems OK to have a national anthem that talks about rising up to be a nation again against England but not okay to sing songs about the U.V.F. or I.R.A. would they be trying to ban it if it was" the turban my father wore "i think not !people should be able to be proud of their roots ! too many other Scottish football fans are jumping on jacks bandwagon the man who would not commit to being a Celtic man on the tam cowan show what a turd he is!!then proclaims he will not support England and all of a sudden wee boys in England tops in Scotland are getting a kicking !!! votes !!! that's what it is about somehow i think he should have came up with a more diplomatic answer maybe Bridget !!!told him to say that or even Jackie on the telly !!what a false bastard that man is !! and the funny thing is Scotland will vote him back in

Reply:Its about time the Rangers and Celtic fans grew up and stoped singing these racist song about beinh knee deep in finion blood etc.
It brings a bad name to your club, your country and yourself. BUt i will go on as the young boys at matches will pick up the words and astart singing them as well.
Reply:I believe there is a time and a place for everything. While watching Celtic singing "We shall not be moved", "Celtic Song", "Willie Malay (without the add-ons), "You'll Never Walk Alone", etc. is great. I'd be happy to leave the rebel singing for nights with a few pals, not at the match. One of my pals calls them "close the windae" songs :))))
I'm not going to deny the fact that my family is Irish and Catholic, I can't change what I am but stopping sectarian singing at all matches, to me, is reasonable.

Reply:Apart from the MINORITY, all this sectarian singing is just part of the 90 mins of a football game. You'll find the people singing these songs have best friends of the other persuasion.

Reply:I'm not Scottish so can't comment on the heritage part, but elsewhere on this platform we have people asserting their right to freedom of speech. If singing is banned we're rapidly moving towards a police state.
Reply:these songs have bog all to do with our heritage! people who sing the songs are morons and should realise that its 2006 and has no place in a football stadium! if you believe that these songs should still be allowed to be sung in the same place as young kids who will learn them and start to sing them then sectarianism will never stop! football is the most amazing game and we have the best derby in the world lets show the everyone that we are above this now and let the footie do the talking!
Reply:The songs preach hatred, a purely terrible part of humanity and one we should never wish to retain.
There are many other parts of our heritage we can live without, the Irish famine while the english got fat. The black and Tans. Years of murder and intimidation. A dark cloud hanging over ireland for the best aprt of a century.
Still, God save the queen is sectarian-ish

Reply:Makes you wonder what % of those singing actually understand what they're singing ABOUT.
Given the average I.Q. of the old firm fans I'm guessing pretty low!!!!
I don't think however,that ANY song should be banned - if fans give in to this then whats next???
Only fifa approved songs in football stadiums??
I might not agree with whats being sung (on both sides) - But I defend the right to sing them.
Who can say that they've ever come away from a football ground feeling OFFENDED by a football song.
The amount of non-sectarian abuse sung at matches directed towards opposing fans and players seems to be OK in the eyes of UEFA but not religious songs - crazy!!!
Reply:Its the hatred that goes with it that I have a problem with.
This incites voilence which is never a good thing.
If people can realise that singing songs and having a laugh is just part of it then OK but its the people who tak itt really seriously and beat people up over it that I have a problem with.

Reply:Thats like saying racism is part of our heritage, why cant we chant racist songs? Any song which offends a section of people will be banned, even the referees can walk off the field if they get boo'ed!
Reply:If you go on the Scotsman site you will find an article that absolutely rubbishes the notion that it is part of our " culture." It may well be part of the culture of those who sing sectarian songs but it certainly is not part of the culture of decent people and only brings shame to the people of Scotland. I agree with the article when it says the Glasgow Police should do the simple thing when they sing these songs " Lift them!"
Reply:Mibbe it is part of your heritage but when it affects the image of decent Scots and decent football fans your outnumbered. Both sides of the Old Firm will make excuses to preserve the bigotry u spout as heritage because you are manipulated by the "ugly Sisters" who realise the financial gain in the politics of hatred.
Personally, I dont think what happens in the grounds is as bad as the day to day bigotry people in Ayrshire and Lanarkshire have to listen too from people who have never set foot inside castle greyskull or the potatodrome. It permeates our ugly society and spoils our beautiful country!

it is part of our heritage whether people like it or not .it seems OK to have a national anthem that talks about rising up to be a nation again against England but not okay to sing songs about the U.V.F. or I.R.A. would they be trying to ban it if it was" the turban my father wore "i think not !people should be able to be proud of their roots ! too many other Scottish football fans are jumping on jacks bandwagon the man who would not commit to being a Celtic man on the tam cowan show what a turd he is!!then proclaims he will not support England and all of a sudden wee boys in England tops in Scotland are getting a kicking !!! votes !!! that's what it is about somehow i think he should have came up with a more diplomatic answer maybe Bridget !!!told him to say that or even Jackie on the telly !!what a false bastard that man is !! and the funny thing is Scotland will vote him back in
i wonder if the Muslims had a football team would they stop them singing??

Decent people want this sort of thing stopped legally.
It WILL happen.
No go away and sing in your cupboard.
Oaf.
Reply:Its about time the Rangers and Celtic fans grew up and stoped singing these racist song about beinh knee deep in finion blood etc.
It brings a bad name to your club, your country and yourself. BUt i will go on as the young boys at matches will pick up the words and astart singing them as well.
Reply:I believe there is a time and a place for everything. While watching Celtic singing "We shall not be moved", "Celtic Song", "Willie Malay (without the add-ons), "You'll Never Walk Alone", etc. is great. I'd be happy to leave the rebel singing for nights with a few pals, not at the match. One of my pals calls them "close the windae" songs :))))
I'm not going to deny the fact that my family is Irish and Catholic, I can't change what I am but stopping sectarian singing at all matches, to me, is reasonable.
Reply:It should be banned.
Reply:yawn
Reply:Apart from the MINORITY, all this sectarian singing is just part of the 90 mins of a football game. You'll find the people singing these songs have best friends of the other persuasion.
When it goes into the streets and people are attacked and killed for wearing a football strip then.......................... Well, that's another matter. I don't want to start on it.....
Reply:I'm not Scottish so can't comment on the heritage part, but elsewhere on this platform we have people asserting their right to freedom of speech. If singing is banned we're rapidly moving towards a police state.
Reply:these songs have bog all to do with our heritage! people who sing the songs are morons and should realise that its 2006 and has no place in a football stadium! if you believe that these songs should still be allowed to be sung in the same place as young kids who will learn them and start to sing them then sectarianism will never stop! football is the most amazing game and we have the best derby in the world lets show the everyone that we are above this now and let the footie do the talking!
Reply:The songs preach hatred, a purely terrible part of humanity and one we should never wish to retain.
There are many other parts of our heritage we can live without, the Irish famine while the english got fat. The black and Tans. Years of murder and intimidation. A dark cloud hanging over ireland for the best aprt of a century.
Still, God save the queen is sectarian-ish
But it's ok if its the Welsh
Reply:Makes you wonder what % of those singing actually understand what they're singing ABOUT.
Given the average I.Q. of the old firm fans I'm guessing pretty low!!!!
I don't think however,that ANY song should be banned - if fans give in to this then whats next???
Only fifa approved songs in football stadiums??
I might not agree with whats being sung (on both sides) - But I defend the right to sing them.
Who can say that they've ever come away from a football ground feeling OFFENDED by a football song.
The amount of non-sectarian abuse sung at matches directed towards opposing fans and players seems to be OK in the eyes of UEFA but not religious songs - crazy!!!
Reply:Its the hatred that goes with it that I have a problem with.
This incites voilence which is never a good thing.
If people can realise that singing songs and having a laugh is just part of it then OK but its the people who tak itt really seriously and beat people up over it that I have a problem with.

Reply:Thats like saying racism is part of our heritage, why cant we chant racist songs? Any song which offends a section of people will be banned, even the referees can walk off the field if they get boo'ed!
Reply:If you go on the Scotsman site you will find an article that absolutely rubbishes the notion that it is part of our " culture." It may well be part of the culture of those who sing sectarian songs but it certainly is not part of the culture of decent people and only brings shame to the people of Scotland. I agree with the article when it says the Glasgow Police should do the simple thing when they sing these songs " Lift them!"
Reply:Mibbe it is part of your heritage but when it affects the image of decent Scots and decent football fans your outnumbered. Both sides of the Old Firm will make excuses to preserve the bigotry u spout as heritage because you are manipulated by the "ugly Sisters" who realise the financial gain in the politics of hatred.

Flowers for poor soil hillside?
I'm looking for flower seeds/bulbs that will grow on a part sun hillside in amongst lots of trees. The soil is eroding somewhat due to the steepness of the hill as well! I live in central New Jersey. Is there anything I can plant in the fall for Spring?
Flowers for poor soil hillside?
Easter flowers and daffodils will work also maybe some Candis or some 4 o'clock for it will run up the slop and hold the dirt in place and bl-um not alot will stay on a steep slop but I would try the 4 O'clock and see if they will stay they can clime you house or something that will stay low to the ground and bl-um this will help you from losing you soil
Reply:I bet daffodils would grow just fine. You might want to add some bone meal to the hole when you plant them. To help with erosion, some liriope would be great. You can plant them any time of year and they are not picky about soil or sun. They will spread over the years and stay green well into winter.

Why are the leaves and blossoms of my kalanchoe plants falling off?
This is a question for the botanists out there. I got a few kalanchoe plants at the store and potted them on my windowsill and they've been doing fine. (Based on the pictures on wikipedia, I'm pretty sure I have kalanchoe blossfeldiana) But one of the plants is having a problem. The flower stalks are falling over. The stems don't break, they just bend and kind of tear. And the some of the blossoms are shriveling and the leaves are falling off or come off at the slightest touch. Is the plants sick or is it just the end of some part of its life cycle? Should I deadhead the flowers that are bent over. And finally, can I use the pieces that are falling off as cuttings to try and grow new plants? Thanks a lot.

Is the Corning Ware perculator dishwasher safe?
I found an old perculator. It looks as if it is from the 70's. It is white with a blue flower. I do not have the perculator part though. Can I put this in the dishwasher? Thanks.
Is the Corning Ware perculator dishwasher safe?
If it is shaped like a pitcher, white ceramic with blue flowers and a metal rim and spout, yes it can go in the dishwasher and you can use it on the top of the stove to boil water, make tea, etc. Good Luck.

The zygote develops into the embryo as a result of seed development.
Flower Shop Profit Potential?
I'm a Realtor and my mother is looking to open a flower/gift shop - I have found her a great location for $900 including utilities. I live in a busy part of Los Angeles and there are few shops of this nature in my area - in fact whenever we have to buy gifts we have to travel about 15-20 minutes out of our way to do so. We have the money and I have calculated the cost of every gift (chocolates, balloons, and other gifts) but am having trouble estimating the cost and profit potential of the flowers themselves. Let's assume I'm in a busy area open 7 days a week and the demand for such a shop is somewhat in demand - how much am I looking to spend per month on flowers and what's the potential for income if I sell a wide variety of products such as small bouquets, large, specialty orders and things of that nature... Anyone own a shop like this that could offer me some figures? Thanks!
Flower Shop Profit Potential?
I run a business similar to this business. She can be successful but the exact figure that she will make in a month are unknown. She will need to track her P%26amp;L statements each month to come up with those figures. I make around 1K a month. But then I am jsut starting up as well. after a year her P%26amp;L statements will show what she is making and she will be better able to figure out what she will make in a year. But a lot of this will also depend on her customer service skills. She will have to be a people person and do great flower arrangements. This business is not that risky because if for some reason the space was not to work out she could always bring the business home and run it homebased. Good luck.

How to propagate different flowers?
I wish to find someone who can explain the seeding process of different flowers. I love working in my flowers. I don't have a big fancy garden, but I have expanded to different parts of my back yard - as money permits! I would love fo make sure that several of my annuals would or will be coming back next year. I live at the beach in North Carolina and the weather here is veray warm and we have mild winters. Occasionally it gets below 35 degrees. I also know by doing nothing a lot of my annuals will return next year, but that's doing nothing. Thus, if I learn how to propagate different flowers- such as gerber daisies, hibiscus flowers,and several others. I could continue to add flowers to my yard and not have to replant and buy the same ones again to replace the vacant areas. I really like flowers that are different - like yellow shrimp %26amp; bee balm. Is there anyone out there wanting to help me?
Thank you,

How to propagate different flowers?
The thing you need to know when saving seeds from any plant is wheather the plant will come true from seed. Alot of hybrid plants will revert back to the parent plant genes and therefore not be the same plant you started with. Some annuals are self seeders and come back every year.(rose moss,johnny jump ups,nigella,cleome etc...)
You can collect the seeds once they've dried and plant next season.(marigolds,morning glories,sunflowers etc...) And some plants can be propagated with stem cuttings. (begonias,coleus)
With perenials you can along with the above methods also propagate by root divisions.
There is really to much information you need to know and understand about plant propagation to put here. A good garden book will help you.
Best of luck and happy gardening!!
Reply:I just go to garden centers and read the labels and packets, and buy as I can , as you do
have done a lot of perennials, mainly herbs as useful and flower
{have a clary sage (biannual) and an evening primrose that are fantastic this year) and some overwinter (rosemary, thyme)
I get stuff from friends too
experimentation is half the fun, sometimes i put seeds in and get a surprise as forgot about it
Reply:whats wrong with perrenials? they come back every year
Reply:I'M IN SOUTH DAKOTA BUT THE PRINCIPLES ARE THE SAME. IT GETS EXTREMELY COLD HERE AND THE FREEZE GETS EVERYTHING. BUT PERENNIALS WILL COME BACK EVERY YEAR EVEN IF FROZEN FOR THE WINTER. YOU CAN DIG UP SOME OF THEM, DIVIDE AND REPLANT THEM ELSEWHERE TO MAKE MORE. AND THEY WILL SPREAD A LOT, TOO, SO DIGGING MAY NOT BE NECESSARY MOST OF THE TIME. IF YOU PLANT ANNUALS YOU CAN SAVE THE SEED AND PLANT IT NEXT YEAR, JUST MAKE SURE IT HAS MATURED (DRIED). I SAVE THE SEED AND REPLANT FOR 3 YEARS THEN START WITH NEW. I HAVE A SMALL SPOT WHERE I PLANT THE NEW SEED SO I DON'T HAVE TO BUY A TON TO REPLANT THE ENTIRE YARD. I HAVE FOUND THAT AFTER 3-4 YEARS THE SEED KINDA LOSE THEIR 'MOJO' AND START GROWING WEIRD. A LOT OF FLOWERS WILL COME UP FROM SEED, SOME NEED REPLANTING IF YOU WANT THEM IN A ROW OR PATTERN. IN YOUR AREA YOU SHOULD HAVE A NICE LONG GROWING SEASON WHICH WILL PRODUCE A LOT OF STUFF. IF NONE OF THIS HELPS YOU CAN GET A LOT OF GOOD ADVICE FROM GARDENING CENTERS AND YOUR EXTENSION AGENT. SOMETIMES HAVING A REAL PERSON THERE IS BETTER. HOPE THIS DOES HELP...HAPPY GARDENING!

Why is part of my tattoo almost gone?
I got a tatto two days ago. It is a flower with a long black vine and stem. Well it was very vibrant the first day, then I woke up the next morning and it looked like the stem was really red - but not that black anymore, sort of a light gray.. the other parts of the vine are still black. Any idea what might be causing this? This is not my first tattoo - but the first time I've seen this happen.... I know I'm gonna have to get a touch up now.. but any ideas why this is going on?
Why is part of my tattoo almost gone?
sounds like rub to me, in your sleep you probably did something and it leached out... go to the artist, they'll fix it for free... you are their advertising, they will bend over backward to make sure their art is perfect
Reply:Call your tattoo artist. Maybe the ink she used was expired or not mixed well.
Reply:the same thing happened to me.. i got a bug bite right where my tattoo was and my skin started rejecting infection of the bug bite as well as the ink.. this may have been what happened to you or it could have been as simple as the scab rubbin off too soon
Reply:Your artist maybe didn't do that part right. Or maybe you rubbed it up against something and took some of the ink out. I did that on one of mine before and half of the black looked gray after it healed. Most artists will just touch that up for you. Just go show your artist what happened. He'll probably blame it on you, but who cares just as long as you get it fixed.
Reply:I would give it 2 weeks and see how it turns out. If it still looks gray go back and the artist will fix it. I had 18 stars done around my ankle and a few of the stars did the same thing. I'm a dancer so everyone said it was probably dancing while it was healing that pulled some ink out. Make sure you keep taking care of it though. You'd rather have him touch up a small spot than the whole tat. Good Luck!
Reply:Call your artist and see what kind of ink he used. maybe it's just something generic and your skin had an adverse reaction to it? that's what I would do. Then I would have him touch it up (although going back to the same artist would be questionable) or have him pay to get it touched up by someone else.
If you find out what kind of ink he used, research it, maybe your just allergic to something in it? Then call a doctor and ask them. That's what I would do.
Overall, I would wait until it heals first. if it's horrible after it's completely healed, then talk to the artist
Reply:Wait til it is completely healed and if it still looks the same. Go back to you artist and he should fix it for free.
If this is the first time you dealt with this guy, maybe he's new and doesn't quite "have it" yet.
Something doesn't sound right.
Don't pick at it, keep it clean, and put your moisturizer on.
Good luck with this one..........................sounds like you might want to look around for another artist.
Reply:Is there something rubbing against it?
Reply:did u put lotion on it? ur spossed 2 do that twice a day for 2 weeks, then just once a day
Reply:You body crys the ink out..Some inks have a hard time staying in the skin.. Make sure not to pick or scrub it either.. That causes the ink to fall out too.If they didn't tattoo you deep enough the ink will fall out too..
Reply:maybe you scratched that part of the tattoo without knowing it. or the artist might not have applied the ink correctly in that area. either way i would go back to the shop that you had it done at. most times they will do touch ups for free. call or stop in asap
