I was over to Sam's this year & bought one of each, unfortunately one was misnamed & discovered I had 2 Dakota Songs when they started to bloom. So far I'm impressed with the quality & quantity of bloom, fragrance & health. I have high hopes for the plants but need to give it 2 or 3 years before final judgement. Plan on going back to Sam's & picking up a Dakota Sun next year

my3dogs you get the greatest things on your CL in ME! your new stove looks very similar to our gas log Jotul in our sun room ...love the brown enamel and just love your home and decorating sense! (on a side note we are going to Portland tomorrow for an "overnighter" so we are going to make a stop in Buxton to check out Mustard Seed...thanks for sharing!)

More haha, you've provoked me. Just a little. They're not flippant, they're evasive. I'm not angry at all. Here's what you WON'T find on their website "We are a start-up bioinformatics company. Our goal is to accumulate enough genomic information from unique individuals so that that information can be sold as a product to researchers to provide data and insights useful for numerous types of biomedical research in this new and developing field. In return for your providing your information to us, we will provide an analysis back to you that as of today may only provide limited or perhaps even no useful information. Some of the interpretations we provide could turn out to be incorrect. As genomic understanding and investigations proceed, the information you receive from us could later become more useful. Supplying this information to you is all we owe you, you grant us a perpetual right to use your information and you understand you have no financial interest in any future income producing use we have for it." Take a look at their website, tell me what you find. I've been in town with them, it took time for the real story to get out. As with the Google example I started with at the top. I can tell you about my family member. I have frequent in-depth discussions concerning ongoing work and circumstances encountered internally and externally. Seems like it's been at least monthly (on this topic only) for years. I've visited all research facilities involved and met and spoken with colleagues. Where does all that get me? I know a fair amount for someone who knows nothing. And a lot more than someone with no exposure to the field. I have impressions and insights from perhaps a few handfuls of people. If you're a researcher, I'll immediately defer to you about research. But not about this company's conduct. If you'd had many long discussions with your Vietnam serving relative and others, the same could be said for you on that topic. Nothing more or less.

Funny, the plaid rug, while not my taste, was a choice I thought I could get on board with, and thought worked well with the other library elements. The library shelves don't look right with just the tchotchkes shown in the photos, but would probably look fine filled with books. The things that didn't work for me were the details I found overly precious, like the landscape detailing on the doors of the blue bar cabinets, the mural on the vaulted ceiling, the spindle valance above the window seat in the bedroom, and the swan faucet in the gold bathroom. The style is consistent, but all a little bit too much Germanic-fairy-tale for me.
