Thanks Omar! I misnamed my bunny grass. From what I can find online it's Little Bunny Dwarf Fountain, aka Grass Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Little Bunny'. Mine gets about a foot tall . The "Hamein" is the dwarf fountain grass that I'm trying for the first time this year. I divided each of the three big full pots into four pieces last winter (with a saw) and it hasn't done much yet. It's in the ground and in pots. Are your pots in full sun? If it doesn't do well I'm replacing it with the Pink muhly which I'm holding in reserve. Does anyone know when Pink muhly blooms? I know it's late fall, but how late? Here is a link that might be useful: Little bunny dwarf fountain grass ... Latin names are best, but I rarely remember them

Genes, Thanks, I have looked at refabs.. and there's still a lot of XP out there as well... don't know who would buy one unless like me they were considering it for parts - my latest interest in a new laptop (I mean lap not note, as I want at least a 15" screen) being driven by my careless handling of my 7 yo gateway (my under the table living room machine). Speaking of Gateway has that brand been taken over by ACER? I still see the brand out there, but no longer any advertisements..come to think of it TV is basically absent of any computer advertisements. Back to subject, I did a reply on a January thread on Windows 8 where I learned from a link provided by ragencajun the RetroUI Pro, make-over to run W8 as W7, and still have W8 underneath for when you're ready to use it. It isn't freeware for at $5 it is almost free, but... I see the subject Toshiba is available on-line form Toshiba for $399, and I also see a Toshiba near the same for the same price but it has a 500 GB HDD (not the 350GB) and an Intel not AMD. I recall ravencajun prefers AMD. Me, I can't complain with Intel, my old Gateway has a Celeron.

Find a good independent TV repair shop, is my advice. A lot of these TV's have cheap components on the boards especially the power supply. I had a Samsung go out after about 3-4 years, turned out to be $2 worth of capacitors on the power supply board. Didn't cost all that much to fix.

I have never found a front light mirror with lights that are bright enough for doing makeup.
