Since you live in PA...I would wait till your weather warms up. After blooming you can repot(using a fast draining soil) I use Al's mix from the container forum. Then you can give it a nice "trim" to keep the plant from getting leggy, making the plant fuller and compact. That would be the time you can take it outside to get some fresh air, maybe find a nice tree and place it underneath it. It can get a couple of hours of morning sun and shaded from the hot afternoon sun. Here's a great link that I found very useful... Here is a link that might be useful: How to Re-bloom Poinsettias

OMG!!! I had the same thing happen to me! I would hear the sound of a digital camera flash/capture (slow click sound) about every 5 - 10 minutes, or so!! Very scary!! 1 have 4 different computers in my home: I have 1 (IBM Thinkpad) laptop, which was the ONLY computer I used to go on line. The other 3 PCs (HP, Mac, Dell) have NEVER been connected to the internet - but do have a wireless that I disabled after I noticed the problem with the camera flash sound. ALL of my comptuers now make this sound!!! Just started happening in December 2008 and I've been looking for some information, or mention of someone with the same problem SINCE then. This is the first time anyone else has reported the same issue. >> When I checked the Device Manager and revealed all hidden devices, I noticed that there was a "Video Capture" controller, and some other wierd things that have never been there before: a bunch of controllers, terminal services keyboard, terminal services mouse, terminal services redirector, more video controllers, video capture devices, channels, pipes, some kind of message que process... ALL of which I never installed on my computer and I can't figure out when they became installed. After trying to disable the Video Capture controller, I noticed the camera sound went away, and NOW my CD drive makes a noise at the same approximate 5 - 10 minutes interval. SOMETHING is happening. I thought that I was really proficient with my computer, but I missed something and now I've been breached. I believe that my computer activities are being "captured," or photographed (maybe even video recorded) and are transmitted somewhere through one of the "secure" pipes that I discovered on my computer. I NEED HELP! I have a bunch of other related issues, but this was the start of everything. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. (No my camera isn't attached, no I didn't change the audio drivers yet, because I never changed them in the first place, and they've been working well until now.) I want to know WHY it has happened before I start to change what this "thing" has done. I need to understand it so that I can combat it. CAN ANYONE HELP?

I made one big concession - after the bids were in and that big concession has kept us under budget to this point. It literally gave us a nice cushion and enabled us to easily change products etc along the way without going over budget. It was a biggie for me to give up - until I understood what I was actually giving up. It was THREE masonry fireplaces. We estimated our house with three full masonry fireplaces. When I started showing the builder what I wanted with pics he realized that we could have exactly what we wanted with inserts. When he quoted our house he thought I wanted large open hearth walk in type colonial fireplaces. Would love that but it's not the look I want. Wanted more classic Rumsford looking firebox. I realized afterwards we could trim them out anyway we wanted. Changed to inserts - saved us almost 50K - which enabled us to change to Hardiplank over vinyl and several other changes including finishing at least half of the basement. Other changes that have saved us money along the way- bathtub- do you really need a jacuzzi tub? We actually have a nice one- brand new- that didn't fit in our old home. We were going to use it but the look of it doesn't go with our new house. After looking at all the options and realizing I could get the look I wanted BETTER with a soaking tub decided to go with no jets. If you ask very few people use the jets - and they are a PITA to clean. Saved probably 2K on tub. As for your kitchen question- I would certainly spend my money on "hard" fixtures- cabinets over appliances etc. Good Luck with your decisions. PD

Here's my recipe for lime pie. I've made it many times because I get so many limes from my tree. It's a family favorite, but possibly because the limes are so fresh. I use regular limes, but Key limes are fine also. Lars' Lime Pie Crust 6 tbsp unsalted butter 2-1/2 tbsp sugar 1-1/4 cups Graham cracker crumbs Filling 2 tbsp cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese 2 tsp sugar 2 eggs, slightly beaten 3-4 fresh limes (enough for 1/2 cup juice) 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 smidgeon salt (1/32 tsp) 1  14 oz can sweetened condensed milk Topping 1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream 2 tbsp sugar 1 tsp cornstarch Directions Melt butter and add sugar. This can be done in a 9" or 8" Pyrex pie pan, or a bowl, as you prefer. Add the Graham cracker crumbs and mix with a fork to combine. Press into a 8" or 9" pie pan and bake 7 minutes at 350° and allow to cool. Soften the cream cheese in a bowl with 2 tsp sugar and add the eggs. Beat to combine thoroughly. Zest the limes, preferably with a Microplane grater, to obtain 1 tbsp lime zest, to be used later. Squeeze limes to obtain at least half a cup of lime juice, and add the cornstarch . Mix this with the cream cheese/egg mixture and add the salt and condensed milk, and combine. A hand-held mixer can be used at this point, especially if you have used it to beat the cream cheese and eggs. Stir in the lime zest by hand and pour the mixture into the slightly cooled pie shell. Bake at 375° for 18 minutes. Allow the pie to cool, and then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Chill the egg beaters and bowl for the whipping cream in the freezer while the pie is chilling, and then whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and cornstarch and beat until fairly stiff. Cover the top of the chilled pie with whipped cream and serve. Yield: 8 servings. *Note: You can use powdered sugar in the topping instead of regular sugar + cornstarch. Lars
