hi katie, i'm sorry to hear that. actually, there was one glass of cuttings that i had that has been sitting there for 2 months now and no roots. i used a bubbler on them for couple weeks then took the bubbler out to use on my new cuttings. so they have been sitting w/o bubbler for a month now. they are type 2 ramonas, 2 or 3 cuttings out of that group crisped up so i threw them away, but the rest are still green.. and i am still waiting.. i am wondering whether the type of cuttings i take or the number of leaves i leave on each cutting make a difference.. so far my theory is that you should leave no more than 2-3 leaves per cutting and that the cuttings you take shouldn't be too wimpy.. the ramona cuttings were woody cuttings from this year's growth, but they very recently turned woody and the stems are still quite thin. the best ones seem to be thicker stems and when i've cut them right at a node.. but as for your cuttings, i'd say keep waiting.. btw, what clematis are you trying to root?

I will bet a lot that is wheel cut....not molded in the glass, Not touching the plate...but have seen enough to have a very good idea. The plate is blown, with a cut and polished foot and with wheel cut designs....circa 1910 to 1940.

I am looking to install about a dozen or so "XX" dual slider windows in tandem. Basically, I plan on putting one window on top of another. This is similar to what the company "Soundproof Windows" does, except I'm ordering standard windows and having my contractor install two in tandem. Hopefully Oberon can chime in on this one. I did hire an acoustical engineer... however he is not aware of the STC rating for these unique XX dual slider windows. Basically, it's a horizontal slider where both windows (left and right) slide independently. I need these because I have planter boxes directly outside the windows and I want access to the entire section from inside the house. The planter boxes are not accessible from the outside because they are either two or three stories up (homes are three stories tall). Does anyone know if the XX dual slider is appropriate in achieving a high STC rating? My goal is 50 STC with these two windows in tandem: First window (outside) Dual pane 1/4" lam, 5/8" air space, 1/8" plate glass Second window (inside) Single pane 3/16" lam Note that there is about 2 1/2" of airspace between the two sliding windows. So technically, when both windows are closed, I have created a "triple pane" window with a 5/8" airspace and a 2 1/2" airspace. And 3 varying window thicknesses - 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4". Total mass in glass is 9/16" and this doesn't include the two laminate films between two panes which I assume add about 1/8" more. And the reason why I need a ridiculously high 50 STC is because these are bedrooms and the property is located right next to a highway. Any advice is appreciated!

I'll check with Rejuvenation about using a glass shade on the Reed fixture. I don't know why they don't show that as an option, but it's worth asking. localeater, the Exeter is pretty good. I'm not as crazy about the Garden City. Another (crazy) thought I has was maybe I could have the Schoolhouse Electric fixture chrome plated. I don't know if that's doable with the movable joints. Thanks for all your help. If anybody sees other options, I'm all ears!! : )
