Thank you so much for responding to my question about the identity of my old fashioned rose bush. I checked out the link you sent me and my rose bush certainly looks a lot like the "Russelliana" Rose Bush. Do "Russelliana" rose bushes have hips because mine does? I asked on "Garden Guides" if anyone could identify my old fashioned rose bush and a lady responded who said she thought it was a "Lady Penzanni" rose which was a "sweet briar" rose. She has worked with someone who had one. I tried to search for a "Lady Perzanni" but could only come up with one named "Lady Perzance" which has a single petal bloom. Mine has double petal blooms. Are "sweet briar" and "Russelliana" bushes the same thing? If not how can I tell which my bush could be.

Lilac sounds correct (thank you). Can barely see the white/purple flowers next to buds in pic. It suckers/waterspouts a lot: can it waterspout high up the branches? Thank you again

There is something about these figures that keeps nagging at me....but I can't put my finger on it...exactly. One...they are very finely made not to be marked. Two, they are obviously a pair...but in all the "pairs" I see and cound find on the web, one of the figures faces left and the other faces right, in one the right foot is out in the other the reverse. Secondly the boy wears the dress of a Jester and carries a jester's "bells" which the jesster of harlequin in the Commedia did not. Thirdly she has a short skirt?? Why? Even peasant women or girls didn't wear short skirts before say 1910 or so....and certainly she's not dressed in that style! Fourth, she wears a mask?? Why? Traditionally the men in the Commedia wore the masks not the women. But if the figures don't represent characters from the Commedia, they what DO they represent? And what factory made such finely cast and decorated stuff and didn't mark it?? I am channeling your great great great geandmother hoping she has some answers!! Linda c

You can't assume the conduit is grounded unless you check that it's continuous back to the grounding electrodes. The easiest way to tell grounded (neutral) form hot conductor is to use either a non-contact tester or one of the little neon ones that use your body as enough of a ground OR if you have a ground, put a meter or neon bulb between the suspected hot and the ground and you should get an indication. Touching the ground to neutral will do nothing. The meter will be useful to test things. You'll need to use the probes in the plugs. The clamp-on only reads current.
