I have been using more Baccharis pilularis ‘Pigeon Point’ up here in the East Bay of S.F. It seems to be an easy evergreen plant. So far, so good.

Has anyone had any problems with it after it has established?

Also what is your favorite Ceanothus and why?

To draw well, you simply need to do the following three steps:
1. Learn best graphic tricks available. So don’t waste time studying by yourself. 2. Learn to copy other people’s work. Buy graphic books and copy, copy, and copy. 3. Work hard, never stop drawing. Create opportunity to draw and draw continuously.

Great. Glad to know that. Thanks, Mary Anne.
CLARB: If you’re listening in, consider adding some descriptive content to the LARE Orientation Guide about the interface if you are no longer able to provide a demo.

I’ve got a question about the computer interface for multiple choice sections. CLARB no longer has a sample on its web site and the $30, 30 minute test drive session at Prometrix isn’t convenient. Can you only go back to questions you have not answered, or can you review all your answers and make changes at any time?
