A new cultivar of Andromeda named \u2018Blue Lagoon\u2019, characterized by its grayish blue foliage, its freely branched habit, its pink flowers in spring, and its hardiness at least to U. Initiation within the initiation zone is achieved by heating the parison in that location to a higher temperature than the remainder of the parison for at least a portion of the blowing time. In some cases, the number of allocated interlaces is unsupported by joint interlace precoding hardware of the UE and the allocated interlaces may be partitioned into subsets of interlaces which may be a size supported by the joint interlace precoding hardware. Also disclosed are the methods for obtaining such ligands.
