Bamboo, The Poet and Doctor John, as is his wont, offers some sage advice. Of my two dogs, one likes to do as he cites; this dog especially also likes to roll in fresh bear poo (bonus info). Alyceus, You can cut them as low as you wish, but remember, given your location, it's going to be a fast grower, so you're going to be maintaining it quite often. And while I'm not trying to dissuade you (well, not completely) from using this plant, its nature is to grow to a shortish (15' or so) tree, so using it as a low-growing component in your garden is perhaps an element you might wish to consider again. Additionally, to reiterate John's advice, wear a haz-mat suit or similar when doing this work - different folks react to the Euphorbia sap differently, but for most of us the sap of E. tirucalli is going to make for a painful interaction on the skin - on any mucous membranes it's much intensified. The sap of crushed leaves of Aeonium lindleyii is a palliative for the burns, because if you work with it enough you're going to get sapped, and that's the only non-emergency-room treatment that I know of.

1. The NXR fits large pots easily 2. Not sure what is considered "thin", I am sure it is thinner than the old 1950's O'Keffee and Merritt's but everything today is thin compared to older models. I know this NXR weighs in at over 300#, it feels like a tank to me. The box weighed 360# when it came in and took us over an hour and a half to get it into the house. 4. "electronics in front"? you mean the knobs/controls? The NXR is virtually electronics free, just a convection fan button and light switch. The convection fan is fairly quiet, not what I would consider loud anyway. Center of burner to back on the NXR is 6 1/8" and easily accommodates a 12" pot. I prefer to use larger pots on these burners actually, most all my pots are between 10-14" they work better on these wide burners. 7. I do not personally know because I have as yet not needed any customer service. but NXR uses the same company "ADCO" which is the same service company used by Liebherr and Wolf and Garland. I imagine like ALL service company's for large appliance manufacturers today it is going to be hit & miss depending on your geographical location and who it is you get on the phone, regardless of what brand you go with. So far we have been very pleased with ours, we have the older model (NRG3001)which is no longer available. IMO there isn't another range that even comes close for under $2000. If money is no object then you have all kinds of choices equally as good or better. for $2000 or less the NXR is the best choice.

yes it would depend on which browser you are using. IF firefox click on view toolbars then customize when you see the change in the look and the customize box comes up then you can start moving things, all you need to do is put your cursor over your back button till it becomes a little hand then click and hold and drag it back to where you want it then let go. Question is what did you do to make it changed? that should not just happen.

I use the Backspace button on every site, every time. I don't bother going to the top to click the back arrow. Going to the bottom of this, or any page, I use the End button, back to the top, use the Home button. Another way of going back or forward is to use Alt and the left arrow, to go forward to the next page, use Alt and the right arrow.
