Evidently the buyers at our local HD are not all using the same source for their plants. Although I have spoken to the person who has this responsibility here, they are limited to using EA as a source but all they receive are H. Carnosa, the same common ones with every shipment. I am so envious every time I hear of your wonderful finds at a HD. They have a diversified collection of Orchids but noooooooooo HOYAS?? Now I will get down from my soapbox, sorry. And I can't believe my comments emanated from someone asking about an I.D. Thanks I should have started a new thread re this issue. Vicki

The Lenington Award is named for George Lenington. He registered quite a few cultivars. It looks like there were at least 5 Leningtons. A Robert that registered some in 1952, and more currently, a Robert that is registering some in conjunction with George. You could email the Registrar and ask what the correct Registering name is for the Lenington you are looking for. Then search for that name. Ed

Hi Prairiemoon. To see how much a folder holds you open Explorer, right click on the folder in question then click Properties. This will tell you the total size of the folder and how many files are in there. There is no way to tell how many files can fit on a CD simply because there are files of just a few kilobytes and other can be many megabytes. In future you might consider creating a new folder inside ÂMy documents perhaps  (open Explorer, click ÂMy documents to highlight it, click File at the top, click ÂNew click ÂFolderÂ. Type a name you wish to use. Now you can copy your photos into that occasionally doing the right click/properties thing on the folder name to check for overall folder size, stopping when you either have all the needed photos or capacity is reached. As you have 262 megs on the CD you can add about 438 more megs to fill it. You may get a warning about compatibility but continue on. I do and it is fine. No, you cannot delete anything from a CD once it is burned. Practise a little, you may make a few throw away disks but you will learn the right way. (Any I throw away I scratch across the medium a few times in case it gets picked out of the garbage  unlikely but I am a bit cautious with family photos) All files burned to CD are ÂRead onlyÂ, they cannot be otherwise because you cannot alter them. You can copy any that need editing back to your hard drive but you will need to give it another name before being allowed to modify it. I generally add a number to the end if it is a name or a letter if the title is numerical. Again, once the CD is burned changes are not possible so the name remains the same. You can of course write what you like on the CD using a Sharpie or getting fancy with CD labels if you plan on doing quite a few. Labelling kits are around $20  and up for the kit and software or the opportunity to download software from the vendorÂs site. Using a Sharpie I write right across the middle of a CD or DVD so it shows through the window of my paper sleeves. I have no time or space for the plastic things CDs go in. I use any known brand of CD or DVD myself, I do not use off brands. Why risk failing? If the material is considered important enough to save then save it confident that it can be retrieved at a future time. I would not burn photos to a DVD simply because of the huge numbers capable of being burned. Of course if you really plan ahead and get all you photos lined up as you want them in folders and sub folders then it might be feasible. On that note, why are blank DVDs so much cheaper than blank CDs these days? Books to my mind are not the answer regarding computers. They are out of date before they reach the street at times and can be very expensive. Personally I am a big fan of Google. Type Âphoto editing tutorial or what ever you need to know ending in Âtutorial and you will get thousands of pages come up. Look through those and find perhaps 3 that are written in a style you personally are comfortable with and save those to your Bookmarks/Favourites. I hope this helps and I have not bored you to tears, haha.

furby, you dog does look much like the Tibetan Spaniel that 4boys posted. But like dbarron, I definitely think that perhaps that male pug in the household got to the shih tzu before the poodle did, lol! I half a half pug myself, called a "Chug" which is a mix of pug/chihuahua. They showed us the mother (pug) and only a photo of the supposed father, a long haired chihuahua. The mother weighed 13 pounds and they claimed the chihuahua father weighed 7 pounds. So we were told the offspring should weigh about 10 pounds in adulthood. Well our fully grown 'Chug' weighs 20 pounds! She's taller than an average pug, but is dense and muscular like them, meaning she doesn't look overweight for her size. Her face (especially eyes) is similar to a pug, but with a longer and less wrinkled snout. Her tail curls up like a pug's. But she just doesn't look like she could possibly have any chihuahua in her. We've always suspected perhaps their female pug got outside and mated with some larger breed dog, but of course we'll never know. It is really rare to find a dog wandering around here (Ontario Canada) so unless they actually mated her with some other breed and knowingly falsely claimed the father was a chihuahua, we just have to give it the benefit of the doubt, lol!
