Charlie, I'm in S. Central PA, not too far from TMI (10 mile radius) but North of Reeser's Summit, which seems to make a difference in growing conditions. I've noticed the garden shops in the county South of us sells plnts that are less cold-tolerant than the shops in my county do. (That's why I'm not entirely certain I'm in the 6a region.) The Black Horehound label just said "Black Horehound". It looked like regular horehound except it didn't have all the white hairs over lighter green that white horehound does. It was darker green but not really black, and had the usual scalloped edges to the leaves. I can't remember what reference on the Internet said it was poisonous. " The onus is on the buyer of the plant to know if that plant is used in the kitchen or not and how it is used. The nursery is not responsible for the assumptions of a buyer nor what they may put into their mouth without knowing for sure what it is and how it is used." Actually, Fata, whether there is any onus or not depends on how the nursery is selling the herbs. If they have a warning sign up they're covered. IMO, if they don't, and someone is poisoned, it serves them right if they are sued, especially if they are selling the plants contiguous to things like garden vegetables. The garden shop made a real mistake with the black horehound. I think the sign behind it was for white horehound, and all they had was the black, which is why I purchased it. ASA I realized it was not like my usual horehound, would spread, and was just an ornamental, I pulled it up. It was an attractive plant, but in the earlier stages of growth it was difficult to tell them apart, and I use my white horehound quite frequently. It is all well and good to believe that everyone has the resources to research herbs, but there are still people in the USA that can't even read, let alone have access to the Internet. Luckily for most of them, they also cannot afford to purchase herbs from garden shops.

If you are willing to go up the price of a BMW SUV, check out a Lexus SUV or the Honda Oddessey. I have friends who own these vehicles and they are happy with these. Me, I'm happy knocking about in the winter with my old Jeep Cherokee Larado 4x4. However, the Jeep does not come close in creature comforts, fit and finish, and engine compared to the Lexus and Honda. The Jeep's transmission is good. Another consideration is the Dodge Magnum. It is more like a wagon, and comes with a choice of engines. Its fuel economy isn't bad for its size and engine power. I've heard one complaint about a rear blind spot, though.

We had the LG 2455 TROMM (Home Depot here doesn't care LG) for 1 week and just returned it this morning. The vibration and noise was too much for us. We had them come out and readjust the feet but that didn't really help. We went to a Bosch dishwasher a couple of years back because our old dishwasher was so noisy. All of a sudden with the new LG washing machine we couldn't hear our TV even with the laundry room door closed and the new washer on the spin cycle. Definitely a move in the wrong direction. We replaced with Kenmore Elite, and the first load was good & quiet. We'll see how it goes. We would have had to wait another month to try another LG - too much aggravation to take another chance, they sure look cool though.

Irina, Thanks for the info. I checked the parts diagram and except for the lever design and the hidden spray head of the Solna, the Brizo Solna, Delta Trask and Delta Trinisic use exactly the same parts for one hole installation. Hopefully, that means your experience with the handle should apply to the similar Delta models as well. I need a faucet immediately to replace a leaky faucet. In the long run, I need two faucets and possibly a beverage faucet for a kitchen remodel, but I am not ready to purchase them now. I went ahead and purchased a Delta Trask faucet in chrome to replace the leaky faucet. I like the look of the Solna but I like the convenience of a non-hidden spray head. The lower price of the Trask and being able to buy it today at Lowes tipped the scale. I figure if I want to match pieces from Trinsic or Solna later on, I can always change out the lever if I need to. For anyone looking for reviews on the articulating Brizo Solna, we did order it. Unlike some of the other member of this forum, I love the industrial/modern look of it. The faucet head is a little bit bigger than the "upside down J models", namely the Delta Trask and Trinsic and presumably the similar-looking non-articulating member of the Solna family. Hence, it should generate wider streams and sprays. The lever moves very smoothly. The lever motion range allows the temperature setting to be saved when the faucet is turned off. The articulating Solna shares some looks but (virtually?) no parts with other members of the Solna family. I really like the idea of being able to adjust the spray head up/down and forward/back in addition to side-to-side. However, we reluctantly decided to return the articulating Solna without even installing it because of two design flaws. The most obvious one is that the lever is long and it is mounted very high on the stem. It significantly interferes with the rotation of the faucet arm. The second potential problem is that the black hose from the stem to the spray head is very stiff and not very long. Not only does it resist being bent into the position necessary to aim it toward what is being washed, it stresses the point where the hose is connected to the metal stem. This point is reinforced but only with plastic or rubber. Seems like a high chance for the hose to crack at this connection point. The first should be a really easy design change. It simply requires lowering the handle and making it a little bit shorter so the top is below the point where the articulating arm attaches to the stem. Hopefully, the Brizo designers will figure this out and fix this problem. It is a really cool looking faucet! The articulating arm would have been very functional as well. I am sad to return it.
