I do not own any Calphalon cookware, but I thought their infused pans were non-stick. Accourding to their page (see link), it states: "Infused with an advanced release polymer, the Calphalon One cooking surface not only sears food perfectly - it also lets you control when foods release from the bottom of the pan." So it lets the user control when foods release from the bottom of the pan. Hmmm... how does the user do that? By using butter or fat? I think Calphalon is telling folks that the infused line IS non-stick (or at least has the benefits of non-stick). -G Here is a link that might be useful: InFused

I have compression hosiery (panty hose type) that was suggested I wear post knee surgery when I was flying a lot. I bought them at a surgical supply place and they were fairly expensive, maybe around $50 iirc. I also have several pair of compression socks, both knee socks and crew length, that I wear for running longer distances. Big difference in the two types. The brand is CEP and they are a bit expensive, especially the knee socks but are very good. I also wear compression tights. For everyday wear, these would be good if you think you need something for your legs and most running stores carry them.

Jay I would dying to know what Chilean trees are surviving for them in TN and AL. I have tried pretty much all the various Eucryphias from PNW nurseries over the years. They either die in the summer, or if they for some reason make it through a summer, they die in winter. But as I've seen with ungrafted 'Nancy Evans', the reason they aren't making thru winter is PRIMARILY simply aren't growing enough in the summer. Cause I'm talking even pretty mild winters. Alas, with a weirdo southern hemisphere plant like this, there's no heat resistant rootstock to graft it onto! Grafted 'Nancy Evans' SEEMS much hardier than ungrafted simply because it is growing a strong root system during the summer! However as I learnt with Chusqueas it pays to keep trying. C. culeou and and I think I tried a C. andina at some point, decline pretty rapidly in summer here. I suppose because of its broader native range, C. gigantea had no problems with hot humid summers and continued to grow through them. It was also at least as winter hardy as my poor old Thamnocalamus tessellatus, that has gotten pretty big during strings of mild winters only to be cut down during cold years. Alas, the damn things flowered in 2020! Just as it was getting established! I didn't bother collecting seed because I worried about getting quality plants with such a narrow gene pool. Hopefully Ian at Desert Northwest offers it soon from fresh seed. (all bamboos of a species flower in the same year in case anyone doesn't know this) Floral - 95/96 had been a very cold winter in Scotland although the owner of a large UK nursery told me it wasn't in the south, so you might not remember it as such. Supposedly got down to the mid single digits F...around -15C. Anyhow, the Eucryphia X nymansensis 'Nymansay' in that picture was a little big singed on its northern flank but it didn't stop it from blooming profusely. It was probably 1/2 as big then. But it looked much better than the Cordylines. All of them in town were burnt down to the lowest 3' of trunk if not the ground. Same at the presumably slightly milder St. Andrews. OTOH I saw big undamaged cordies at Culzean Castle on the milder west coast of Scotland. The nice thing about this view is because this is a major thoroughfare of Edinburgh you can see the street views all the way back to 2008, and witness the slow but steady expansion of the tree. My bedroom was the room in the leftmost of the 4 buildings, above the blue door. Check out August 2019: THANKS FOR PLAYING!

Could be. Paniculatas attract all kinds of pollinators with a light scent that may be detectable to some noses... or not. It sounds like the stars were properly aligned yesterday so you could share the scent. I can notice it more early in the mornings, when it is cloudy and humid.
