Saxman- Hey sir, I have to admit I am a little more exciterd about this mower, than I would be had a bought a $99 mower at Wal-Mart. I hope you forgive me. It is only natural however to not understand everyting you tell me perfectly. I can't make anybody on any forum help me, that would be silly. I would suggest this, if you don't want to share your knowledge and expriences on the subject that you obviously know and love, maybe you should find a different forum, or not post on one at all. Or...... in your case, pour yourself another Brandy Manhatten and verbally lash the new guys on the lawnmower forum on a sunday night! Kyle

Stay with true 2 cycles blowers like Redmax, Echo etc. I won't buy any of the hybrid 4 cycles stuff. I have been on lawnsite, there are a lot of complains on the Shindaiwa C4 and Stihl 4Mix. Go on their site to read before you jump into it. I think Stihl still sell the BR420 type, it is just not the most powerful compare to the top Redmax and Echo. Think of Maruyama because they newly have the 5 years commercial warrantee. If you have a dealer carry them, it might be a good choice.

Skaiskai - if you google "gloxinia seeds" - since the common name of Sinningia speciosa is "florist gloxinia" - you will see lots of hits. Amazon sells them, Thompson and Morgan sells them etc. The issue is that the seeds lose their viablity quite soon, so seed them as soon as you get them - on a surface of the soil in a covered container and give them good light. The rest of the seeds should be stored in a fridge. Charles Lawn is an Australian, his seeds and tubers very rarely make it here and they are not available commercially. So - keep an eye on ebay until the seller posts them again. Investigate who was selling them - and send him an email through ebay. Florist gloxinias are not in a vogue right now - so even in a former AGGS - now the Gesneriad Society - you see - even the name "gloxinia' was dropped from the name of the society - not very many people grow them. There are probably some seeds in a Society Seed Fund - but you need to be a member to get access to them. (It is a very good thing to do, to join this society - lots of interesting stuff to grow and good people to socialize.) Good Luck irina Here is a link that might be useful: Thompson and Morgan

What I hate are the pop-ups WHILE you are watching a show....you know...the ones promoting an upcoming show. A pop-up isn't going to entice me to watch a show I'm not interested in...period....no matter how many times you repeat it. And I don't even like the channel logo on the screen....I am WATCHING the channel, I already know what channel it is for crying out loud. I would like to see a movement to stop the incessant promoting...it takes away from the program and serves no purpose...other than to tick people off!
