Hi, I replied to your email. You may want to either post your email address or modify your account so that it's there. Someone explained to me how to do it: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/explant/msg0800080611326.html I have two rooted cuttings of P. 'Lavender Lady' (so if anyone else wants one...). I also have about 60 very small and young seedlings of P. edulis that I need to give away. I'm going to pack these cheaply, so I can't guarantee they'll arive in good shape (although at this stage the 'Lavender Lady' should be pretty tough). I have my doubts about the P. edulis, but I have so many I can always try again. Ian Webb has great instructions for how to ship cuttings: http://www.passiflora.info/postdetails.htm

Thank you, IloveRed, to the link of Forbes article. Here's an excerpt from that Forbes link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2012/04/04/americas-gardasil-problem-how-politics-poisons-public-health/3/#4978b3012389 "They looked specifically at the ­terrible neurological disease called Guillain-Barré Syndrome, because it’s known that a swine flu shot given in the 1970s caused it. The rate of GBS reported for Gardasil was half what it was for other vaccines. In the U.S. the number of cases of cervical cancer is controlled by the fact that women get regular Pap smears. Among the most effective cancer screening tests ever invented, they catch precancerous growths before they turn into tumors. " THANK YOU, anele_gw, for the CBS news link, see excerpt https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gardasil-researcher-speaks-out/ "A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found while the overall risk of side effects appears to be comparable to other vaccines, Gardasil has a higher incidence of blood clots reported. Merck also says it's looking into cases of ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, reported after vaccination. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Merck is also monitoring the number of deaths reported after Gardasil: at least 32. The risks of serious adverse events including death reported after Gardasil use in (the JAMA article by CDC's Dr. Barbara Slade) were 3.4/100,000 doses distributed. The rate of serious adverse events on par with the death rate of cervical cancer. Gardasil has been associated with at least as many serious adverse events as there are deaths from cervical cancer developing each year. Dr. Harper says the side effects reported so far call for more complete disclosure to patients. She says they should be told that protection from the vaccination might not last long enough to provide a cancer protection benefit, and that its risks - "small but real" - could occur more often than the cervical cancer itself would. Parents and women must know that deaths occurred. Not all deaths that have been reported were represented in Dr. Slade's work, one-third of the death reports were unavailable to the CDC." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gardasil-researcher-speaks-out/ From StrawChicago: I am a victim of horrible-suffering with the flu-shot in Dec. 2015. The pain was many times worse than childbirth, I had vertigo & bleeding nose & ears and could not drive for 2 months, in addition to pneumonia & paid near $800 from my own-pocket (after insurance paid thousands). My neighbor died of Lou Gehrig's Disease, I witnessed her going from a vibrant mid-30's woman to being paralyzed in a wheel-chair .. then a vegetative state in a nursing home for 6 months. She could not talk and answered questions by blinking her eyes. She died after 1 1/2 years of immense suffering and financial cost. Google Gardasil and you'll see the below: INFORMATION ABOUT GARDASIL 9GARDASIL®9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant)helps protect girls and women ages 9 to 26 against cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and anal cancers and genital warts caused by 9 types of HPV. GARDASIL 9 helps protect boys and men ages 9 to 26 against anal cancer and genital warts caused by those same HPV types. GARDASIL 9 may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by OTHER HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL 9 does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL 9 is a shot that is usually given in the arm muscle. GARDASIL 9 may be given as 2 or 3 shots.

I didn't see this when you originally posted it, but I would have recommended that you choose the coast green. DH and I both loved (& chose) Costa Esmeralda, which I think is darker than your granite. As many others have indicated, grey-green is a neutral, so it's not difficult to work with. Installed, ours looks a lot blander than we'd expected--sometimes I wish we'd chosen something more interesting to go with it for the island than the creamy neutral honed marble. With the lack of color accuracy we have seen due to camera and monitor issues, you're the only one who can really say if everything goes together. The right color of paint will do wonders as can a backsplash. You might want to live with the counters and cabinets for a while, and do the backsplash later, if that's possible. Our realtor insisted that the rough sawn cedar wall and trim in our lower level family room needed to be painted white to match the white stucco paneling to make it all look more blended and up to date. I refused to do it, although I took her advice on most other things. (It also had an interesting orangy/reddish/brownish carpet with unusual texture and orangy-red & brown Moorish vinyl tile squares!) I loved that room! In a VERY tough market, we had only 3 people look at it in 3 weeks, and 2 of them made an offer. They were from 2 different ethnic groups that, in my experience, have decorated their homes with more color than most people I know. Now I realize a LL family room is not the same as a kitchen, but even if the green in your greenest picture were accurate, it still looks pretty safe to me. Lots of people are going to love your green. All you need is ONE person to sell your home to, and not everyone likes "safe" colors. A lot of the new model homes (from a couple of years ago when there were such things!) were showing more bolder colors around here. When I was going through hundreds of model houses during the 6 years it took us to start building, I really got tired of seeing the same granites, and it was exciting when a builder had chosen unique ones for each bathroom and a couple of different ones for the kitchen and island.
