'Times are a-changing'
Comments (7)Hi WL & HDD, IÂve added a link to the original article (see below) Scroll thru to p15. My take on the article was not so much on the registration process, but on the availability of these hybrids. (I must admit I had to read it thru a couple of times) What does it matter if there are 1K or 1M hybrids registered if the plants we want are not obtainable. And IMO this is a key point in the whole issue. Down here in good ole NZ, we are an island nation with very strict import regulations, so I cannot just flick thru MichaelÂs catalogue of plants and say IÂll have 1 of this & 2 of that But we do have an excellent range of plants that ARE available, most of which are also registered. Sometimes we do have to wait years for Âwish list plants. I was only just getting into broms when Hannibal Lector was first written up in the BSI journal & registeredÂnow almost 7 years ago... Last year, I finally got my first HL pup! On the flip side, we have ready access to wonderful Vriesea hybrids thanks to a very talented local hybridist, but itÂll be a while before theyÂre in general circulation overseas. My point is that good quality broms will get into circulation, and stay in circulation whether they are hybrids or species, registered or not, as the demand for magnificent Ânew broms is fed by all of us who grow these amazing plants.

Comments (10)MM>> I'm sorry to hear about the wind storm your way and your decorations getting blown around. Hopefully all will be in place again by Halloween. We had a Nor'Easter that whipped thru here last week, but I managed to bring in the tomb stones before it hit. Nice Halloween Table.. Your color combination is very striking especially with those plates and chargers...I like how everything looks. Each time I see that Candleholder on your Sideboard I'm thinking of how nice it looks and that it's such a different piece. Your little Ghosts and creepy orange spiders (only cause their fake)..look cute and your T Lamp is just beautiful. Did you have that made custom with the dog pic on it? When I saw your squirrel jar...I said '@$#@'.. you see not that I don't like it...I think it's adorable...it's just that I saw one Exactly like it at a consignment shop last month, and passed it up due to > (stupid mood day)..and seeing yours, you can imagine how I feel now! :( jane...See Moretime change question
Comments (9)Most cell phones gets a time cue from the nearest tower. (Naturally, it has to be turned on to find a tower.) When you travel across time zones - and the cell phone is on - the time zone changes will be set automatically in the phone. Your personal computer (PC) is a different matter. It has an internal clock much like your wrist watch. Its frequency is crystal controlle just like a watch and runs independently of ouside items. Over days and months, it can drift off just like any clock. The operating system of the oomputer is programmed to make a daylight saving change at two given dates in the year. When the daylight saving date were changed in the past year or so, Microsoft sent out a patch to their operating systems to change the built-in date of change. In general, if you move your computer to a different time zone, it does not change its time settings. But that may not always be true. If certain software is installed to automatically set the computer's time each time it is turned on, and connected to the internet, it will do so. If the computer can access the internet without any action from the user, the software will make the connections and sync the time clock. If the computer can not automatically access the internet, the time adjustment will take place the next time the used connects to the internet. Rather than be caught unaware, I prefer to be notified and manually set the clock myself. In that way, I become aware of the change. This has importance when backing up files. Backup routines uses the "time of creation stamp" of the file to decide which same named file is the newer one. It is possible to overwrite a newer file with an older one on restore under certain circumatances. Say you have a file with a time stamp of 3:00 pm, and then store a backup. Now, set the computer clock back to 2:00pm and edit the file marked 3:00 pm. The newer file may have time stamp of 2:15 pm, but the backup set will have an older version time stamped 3:00pm. If you do a restore from the backup set at this point, the older 3:00pm file will overwrite the newer 2:15pm file. Confused? Probably. Just remember that PCs have a built-in clock that runs independently and requires minor adjustment from time to time. Some PC systems may have software that automates the clock adjustment. Cell phones gets time cues from the tower it is communicating with. When the cell phone is off, its clock/calender continues to run like a watch....See MoreWhen things take (lots of) time & your taste changes
Comments (24)Well, if your house style isn't leading you in a particular way (or, restricting you to a certain style) I'd say you're on the right path by just pursuing the things that please you. Personally I always enjoy visiting homes with eclectic style, because they're usually owned by interesting people. I think there are far worse things than mixing items from different periods and styles, especially if they're meaningful to you (like your mother's antiques.) So what do I do when you come to the actual substantial pieces I'd saved for and purchased that I just plain no longer like!? I'm going to disperse of some of these items via Craig's List, as you have. And I'm working up my courage for a giant garage sale. (How is your queen bed "too big to sell?") My rationale is, I enjoyed the anticipation and the purchase, and owning them for a while. So, I got that value out of them. Now, some don't work. So, shall we beat ourselves up about changing our minds about what we like? No, we shall not, because changing means we're growing, and growing is a good thing. Growing means we're aware, alive, having fun, and becoming something new. And besides that, it's totally unfair to your queen bed to make it live in a house where it's not truly loved for its angular maple goodness. Set it free, and let it find happiness. And besides that, when you sell your queen bed, and give somebody a heck of a deal, you are singlehandedly stimulating the economy and encouraging commerce. And goodness knows we need that. Why, it's almost your civic duty. (Being able to rationalize anything is a very handy skill, have you noticed?)...See More- 8 years ago
