Hi Zep,I can't figure out how to get the Kaspersky report.I also scanned with Malwarebytes & it picked up some stuff Kaspersky missed. Here is partial log. Files Detected: 6 C:\Users\Doris\Downloads\MediaUpdater__2577_i85737091_il80.exe (PUP.Optional.Amonetize.A) -> No action taken.

C:\Users\Doris\Downloads\Firefox_Setup.exe (PUP.Optional.AirInstaller) -> No action taken. It says no action taken but I did as recommended.These were all highlighted in blue as threats. I tried other sandisks & none work. Rose

There are also a number of festivals that may coincide with your travels along the coast. These two come to mind: http://gilroygarlicfestival.com/ http://centralcoastoysterfestival.com/ The Exploratorium in SF is in a new location now and I haven't been there but the old place was great. I imagine the new space is even better. http://www.exploratorium.edu/ There is always something to do/see at Golden Gate Park. http://www.golden-gate-park.com/ On the Peninsula below SF is Filoli Mansion in Woodside. Beautiful gardens and mansion. http://www.filoli.org/ Here is a link that might be useful: List of food related festivals in CA. This post was edited by barnmom on Fri, Jan 30, 15 at 12:36

cost of a new counter is about 80/square ft installed. Anything you do will be some new counters. 40-50 square feet in total, but you might be able to get away without replacing the entire countertop depending on where the seams are and the sizes of the pieces you have. Turn the peninsula 90 degrees and place it touching the empty side wall, 41-42 inches away from the countertop against the back wall and long side facing towards the living room. You would have to repair your floor where the downdraft, gas and electric come in through the slab. Looks like there is no downdraft? Maybe gas and electric come through the exterior wall instead of the slab. Remove the big window, close up that part of the wall, Install a venthood, electric, and gas from the exterior and reuse the existing cooktop. you might be able to rescue the counter above the peninsula by installing butcher block or something where the stove cutout was. If you are lucky you might be able to move the counter on the peninsula to the right side of the back wall. Eat your meals in the dining room This will be more than 5K (maybe less than 10k?) You would have a good work zone, a peninsula facing the living room that people can eat at and be served from close to the stove.

On the cut on the left, there aren’t any branches between where Matt has marked it and the final branch at the end (v sparse - hoping for some growth here??). I’ve marked up the branches on the attached photo (branch A). Is it best to go back to where Matt has marked it or leave as it is? You decide. You want the general outline of the tree to take a shape sort of like a broad cone with a round top. That means you want to work toward a somewhat symmetrical tree with branches becoming shorter near the top. Since the tree is genetically programmed to devote about 2/3 of it's energy to the top 1/3 of the plant, you can prune that (the top) back harder. The whole tree is going to back-bud, so you'll have more pruning opportunities in a couple of weeks. On the cut on the right, I *think* the branch you're describing is actually not as long as it looks on the photo. Branch B on the marked up photo is pretty long - should this be cut back? Branch 'B', on the right, is the branch I was describing. Branches are classified in orders. The trunk is the first order, branches off the trunk are second order, and branches off second order branches are tertiary or 3rd order branches. Branch B is a second order branch. Unless you feel in your gut that cutting it back so all that's left are the 2 second order branches is a mistake (think about the outline), that's what I would do. One of the reasons we prune is to "chase" the foliage mass back closer to the trunk. It's much more eye appealing to have a full tree with short branches than a tree with long branches and foliage only at the ends of branches. So, look for opportunities to shorten branches near the top of the tree. One of the ways I do that is by focusing on the distal end of a branch then start following it with my eyes back toward the trunk. When I reach the point where there are only 2 branches of the next higher order left on the branch I'm following I prune immediately distal to the second branch. That's what I was describing for B originally. Then, I start looking at the 2 branches I left, and do the same thing with those, and if there were branches of a higher order growing from those branches, I repeat. Once your tree fills out, almost all of your pruning will be pinching or directional pruning, and what you'll be doing is filling holes in the canopy. This ^^^ is a Chinese quince bonsai I care for for another person. The large leaf at the base of the higher order branch was growing on the larger branch, and gave rise in its axil to the thin, higher order branch. I'm sure I removed the large leaf after the image was taken so it would reduce the energy flow to the small branch, which reduces leaf size and internode length. But back to directional pruning. If I want to make the small branch turn toward a gap in the canopy where it will get its share of light, I prune back to the leaf growing in that direction. Left as is, the branch will grow in the general direction of the distal leaf, so down/left. Removing the distal leaf would turn the branch up/left. If you want exactness, there are several ways to shape the branch exactly as you like. As is ^^^, the leader grows right. Move the pruning cut proximally to the next leaf/node and the leader grows left. Al
