Hey...I'm new to Tucson just moved a couple of weeks ago. We have a vine that has taken over the back yard. We've been trying to cut it back. We had no idea what it was until I saw this post and it is a passionvine. Is this plant a friendly plant? We have a palm tree it has started climbing up and we just discoverd some rose bushes it has obscured and we don't know what else. It does look pretty but should we be cutting it back and off the palm?

MIcrosoft has a wired ergo keyboard for 48.00 with a 20.00 rebate at Amazon. That would bring the keyboard's price down to 28.00. Coupled with the MX610 laser for 25.00 (with rebate) that would give you a boss set for 53.00 (with free shipping). That would be a bomb-diggity set up. I know you found the one person out well over a 1000 positive reviews between Amazon and New Egg that couldn't keep from fidgiting with their thumb. These mice have rather nice thumb grooves and rests. Most users don't have to think about it. One of the kids, I used to babysit, was over, and he 's just 17 and he loves my mouse. In one sitting and the first time using the MX1000 he scored 505,540 points with Winter Bells, the first Orisinal Game. Laser mice are bit differeent you don't have to make big sweeps like you do with opticals. He like most people, just grabbed the mouse with his hand put his thumb in the groove and parked it there and forgot about it. The mouse fits your entire hand...and that's why they are slanted towards the right...its like a natural resting position. The only better mouse you could get at the moment is mine, which unfortunately has been discontinued by Logitech. But its still for sale and the lowest price is about 75.00. The revolution is its replacement...and I guess it has some problems. But for 24.00 and 28.00 you are not going to do better. While the keyboard is wired, you won't get crossed signals...which might be a source of the "lag" you referred to with some set ups. I've never experienced "lag" with a wireless mouse, But I've never had a wireless keyboard competing with it...the trouble is IE is going through all kinds of unfortunate changes at the moment...the new security is just about killing everything.

I don't recognize the plant, but it looks like it's spreading by underground runners, and that is never a good sign. I think that you are going to have to dig up the whole area and pull out the roots; if you decide to do that, I highly recommend a garden fork rather than a spade or shovel - just my experience. I do think that you should take one of the close-up pictures you've got at imgur and post it on the Name That Plant forum, because quite often you need to know who your enemy is to eradicate them.

'as if a person could not have both furnishings and saturated color. The pro is the one who said that color= low income. When a person fills their room with furniture should they go gray or beige then? Interesting.' Good grief. You are reading odd things into what I said. Here is the snippet you posted in full context: 'I happen to like neutrals and don't find them boring at all. So much more is going on than the backdrop of a wall color. Then again, if furnishings are going to be sparse for a while, having more saturated color on the wall can fill the void.' Meaning is that if one doesn't have a lot of furnishings or art YET, putting more color on the wall can make up for that. ! That is all it means. If you need to make it an income and class thing or an either/or thing with wall colors, that is your problem. Don't read it into what everyone else says or thinks. You're the one passing negative judgments on neutrals. I happen to like both.
