How to care for potted Azaleas

Azaleas are beautiful additions to any home and, with the right care, you can enjoy plenty of delightful blooms. Depending on the plant you choose, your azalea could produce pink, lavender, red, peach, white, or even bi-coloured flowers. Some varieties even produced flowers with ruffled petals and the dark leaves make this plant a lovely decorative piece even when it's not in bloom.

Azaleas prefer bright light and cool temperatures and, when they are happy, they will bloom for three to four weeks.

Making a omelette isn't the first thing you'd think of making with a panini maker but bear with me! It's quick, easy to tidy up afterwards and makes a light and fluffy omelette.

A few years ago I had a post in which I featured an article by Jeremy Burman on the the history of the meme concept, "The misunderstanding of memes" (PDF). The MIT Press blog now has an interview with Burman in which he talks about that article and how he came to write it. In this interview he asserts: By citation count, Blackmore’s book is the primary text of the popularized meme; the expansion of the bricolage presented in The Mind’s I, in turn made possible—and then endorsed for its “courage”—by Dawkins himself.

After you finally land that first date with someone you’ve been eyeing months, it’s now time to start thinking about what to wear. You are aware that looking your best will not only make a good impression, but that it will also give you the confidence to be bold and act your best. Go ahead and sort through your wardrobe now—it’s time to throw out those old stained t-shirts, smelly flannels, and worn out sneakers, which ...

Channel 10 News (Nana) has a story about a couple that got married, through the Rabbanut with a Rabbanut rabbi officiating, who were told three months after the wedding, after they had to chase down the Rabbanut to get an answer as to why they had not yet received their official license, that they are not married and their permission to marry was a clerical mistake.

Until now the Rabbanut was accustomed to canceling conversions retroactively...now they are canceling weddings, that they themselves performed, retroactively. Читать дальше...

I snuck back in last week to do a 'comparison' post and although I thought I wouldn't be noticed, it seems lots of you have been looking out for me ... thank you for caring  :-)
So I thought you all deserved an update on what's been happening here on our little bit of Welsh hillside since I vanished from this blog last December.  Although I have been in action in a slightly sporadic fashion over on my other blog ...

The only thing royal about Caitriona Geneva Grace is the blue of her beat-up sedan. While luxury and vanity are terms she could use to describe her everyday life, they're not words she lives by. Rather, they're words that keep her fed-barely. As a receptionist at a medical spa, her life is far from glamorous, but she gets by. For Cait, anything beats the life she left behind when she said goodbye to her small town after high school.

Well there I was on Saturday just gone, worrying I would not get a thing for Mother's Day. Then as if by magic, knock went the door and there stood a knight in shining at our bearing chocolate gifts from Lily Obriens.

I read an interesting article Teenagers, Friends and Bad Decisions. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/03/teenagers-friends-and-bad-decisions/.

 I love when articles confirm what I already know, but in a new way. It makes me feel so smart. This referenced a study that was done at Temple University looking at the effect on teens brains while they are making decisions when they are alone versus when they are with their friends. The experiment was so interesting. Ask a bunch of 14-18 year... Читать дальше...

On March 28, 1970, baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn announced the re-institution of fan balloting for the MLB All-Star Game.  It would be the first time since 1957 that fans would get to vote on the eight position players, a practice that had been revoked after years of ballot stuffing.  To prevent the problem from happening again, 26 million ballots were evenly distributed to 75,000 retail outlets and 150 minor and major league stadiums.  Kuhn also announced that a special panel would determine...

T he Mask Diaries by Abhinav Goel is one of my more interesting reads of late. I have been reading it over the weekend, and am quite intrigued by what seems to be a very unusual story about a dysfunctional father and son relationship. Here's a teaser:

As I wrote about recently, going to a salon – whether it’s for mani/pedi’s, a haircut, or special occasion make-up – can be a terrible experience for fat people. From worrying whether the salon had the sense to purchase chairs that accommodate us, to worrying that the person treating us will be a massive fatphobe who will ruin what should be a lovely moment of self-care (raise your hand if you’ve had a hair stylist or makeup artist suggest something to you because it will be “slimming” ...

The Royal Canadian Mint created its first million-dollar coin, in Canadian dollars, as a demonstration in 2007 — “because we can,” the mint says on its website — to draw attention to its series of more modestly sized, if still costly, pure gold coins. A spokesman for the mint, said it decided to produce up to 10 copies, which all look like the Big Maple Leaf, after being approached by potential buyers.Interest, however, has been limited. Only five have been produced for sale to date; the last delivery was made in 2008. Читать дальше...

Let's take a look at the contents and effects of the facial kit.
