There's still almost a week's worth of shopping days before Christmas for those willing to brave the malls and gifts sent by the US Postal Service's Express Mail on Saturday can get to their destinations by Christmas.
But there are different holiday deadlines for procrastinating gift givers who prefer to shop via computer.
Online retail behemoth Amazon.com can provide local express delivery by Dec. 25 for gifts ordered as late as Christmas Eve. The website also has one-day shipping available for orders placed by noon Saturday. The best deal to get delivery before Christmas is to order by Wednesday—shipping is free.
Also, remember that some Amazon products come from independent sellers who may need longer to get the gifts in the mail. Be sure to check the fine print when ordering.
Here are more deadlines from online retailers:
- For REI.com, order by 9 a.m. on Friday and use "express shipping."
- Zappos.com guarantees Christmas delivery for orders placed before midnight Saturday.
- Walmart.com offers one-day rush shipping.
- eBay.com has a gift guide full of items that can be sent via expedited shipping so they arrive in time for Christmas.
- Best Buy can guarantee delivery by Christmas for standard shipping orders placed before 10 a.m. Wednesday.
- On Target.com, order by midnight on Wednesday and choose "seasonal shipping" to get gifts by Dec. 25.
Run out of time? As a last-ditch effort, give a gift card. Most online retailers offer gift certificates that can be purchased on their websites and printed out.

I am liking the fact Jolteon, the unsung hero is coming alive and I am surprised Magnezone is not in the top 10
I think it's because Tyranitar is more played with Choice Scarf ... This Pokemon is more effective with Life Orb and Recover ^^.
Even with a Scarf, you get SR up and can U-turn or Leaf Storm it as they switch after getting up their own SR and switch to the Tyranitar. If they stay in, it won't matter, because Leaf Storm will lower Special Attack, at which point I would switch, unless it got me the kill which is all that matters in a good SR lead: getting SR up and at least one kill if possible. Edit: Unless Scarftar is becoming more of a lead these days which I really doubt. -_-
The thing is, it can't if it U-turns out as it switches in. If it's revenge killing it, then Celebi did its job which is all that matters in a good lead...
Dont really face Magnezone that often and stats prove that. Am surprised about Breelom though. It looks to me that I run into Breloom in every second battle.
It seems that the Pokemon that one faces tend to depend on the opponent's CRE. I see Magnezone used by 1500+ players quite a bit.
these statistics would be much more useful if they involved the good players... like ninjask... only noobs use ninjask thinking "omg, stat boost, baton pass, SWEEP 6-0)... even though it never ever works
I prefer to give them some false hope, Meteor first with Dnite, then Espeed as they try to pass their +2 atck and +1 speed. lols.
People say he is horrible, then why do people use him at all? ...The fact I use him not withstanding.
I prefer him over Infernape because he isn't weak to Water like Infernape. Although he needs Magnet Rise to keep away from EQ or be faster than the one using it (Which he can be in some cases, like Infernape). I just prefer him. Nothing is going to change that, but I'd probably use someone else if I changed my team further.
Because in UU, he makes an effective revenge killer with a choice scarf. In Ubers, he's an awesome Darkrai counter due to Fighting STAB amd Vital Spirit. In OU, he is massively outclassed by Infernape, who has higher HP, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, and only one less base Attack. In OU, Primeape is completely stuck against common physical walls like Hippowdon and Gliscor.
So I can't use Ninjask now without you calling me a "noob"? Yes, excluding a huge amount of Smogon players in our statistics seems like a great way to divide the community. It will really help the newer players to feel included.
pretty much yeah. and IF your going to use him dont use him as a lead, that blows the surprise first turn
Lol, atleast Ninjask's usage stats are gradually deteriorating every month. I wonder how much Ninjask would effect UU.
Not sure about how much it would effect the UU metagame, but Ninjask counter is pretty much Roarer/Whirlwind and we do have them in UU aswell.
Ninjask is decent, it's simply that people don't use him properly. Instead of just passing one speed boost, when faced with a difficult situation, they opt to try to obtain multiple ones, thus being phazed out, or they die/waste all their health. With proper support, passing single speed boost around (and Swords Dance when you can) can be a blessing to many sweepers in OU. I rarely see Ninjask paired with Magnezone. Just look at the usage statistics for him, Magnezone, someone who could trap and skill Skarmory, Scizor (not to mention it would like a speed boost), isn't even in the top 20 for teammates. It's clear people view him as only good on a Baton Pass Chain, which is nearly impossible to pull off in the current OU. The fact that Starmie (the only Rapid Spinner on the list) is a number 20, and absence of Forrty is equally depressing, because they're not supporting Ninjask at all. :/ +------------+--------------- | Pokemon | By Usage | +------------+--------------- | Ninjask | 1. Scizor | Ninjask | 2. Metagross | Ninjask | 3. Smeargle | Ninjask | 4. Vaporeon | Ninjask | 5. Salamence | Ninjask | 6. Lucario | Ninjask | 7. Breloom | Ninjask | 8. Marowak | Ninjask | 9. Infernape | Ninjask | 10. Blissey | Ninjask | 11. Gliscor| | Ninjask | 12. Umbreon | Ninjask | 13. Heatran | Ninjask | 14. Gyarados | Ninjask | 15. Gengar | Ninjask | 16. Latias | Ninjask | 17.

If you're looking for a distinctive and often overlooked design idea for your traditional or antique-inspired living room or sitting room, oval wood end tables are a delightful choice. Enhance the effect of a button tufted sofa, loveseat, accent chairs or sofa set with traditional wood end tables that complement the period your other furniture pieces were inspired by.
Oval wood end tables with banister legs, carved panels, shelves, drawers or a cabinet space are an elegant accent for traditional coffee tables and other old fashioned living room furniture. Look for one or more of these heritage-era design elements to add a little or a lot of style to your décor.
Placement of your oval end table can also have an impact on the design effect you'll achieve. Oval end tables can be placed lengthwise alongside the arm of a sofa or chair; a clever strategy when you want to maximize table surface, but floor space is limited. Or place one or more end tables with the long sides outward, lengthening the line of your sofa or loveseat if the look suits your space.
Oval end tables can be a great choice for classic contemporary interiors as well. Consider oval end tables from Hammary, Magnussen and Steve Silver Company to discover glass end tables with wood frames ideal for transitional living rooms.
If your décor has elements of both traditional and contemporary design, simple oval wood and glass end tables in cherry or espresso might be just the right finishing touch. Even black end tables with wood frames and a glass panel can work well in transitional interiors.
Shop for oval and round end tables, coffee tables, sofa tables and all your living room furniture within our huge selection of stylish discount priced furniture. Find more furniture for all areas of your home, office and patio. Most of our home furniture products are available with free shipping and no tax. Discover amazing savings on all your home furniture purchases.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
The next Atmosphere album was titled Sad Clown Bad Dub II, a 2000 set originally sold while the group was on tour. (Now out of print, it's a highly sought-after collector's item.) A year later, the group released Lucy Ford: The Atmosphere EP's, a collection of three EPs built around the theme of Slug's complicated relationship with his ex-girlfriend, the lost love of his life. The group has toured consistently, both at home and overseas; while Ant usually doesn't accompany the group on the road, Mr. Dibbs of the group 1200 Hobos often joins in behind the turntables and Slug is usually assisted on the mike by young rappers like the teenaged Eyedea. In June 2002, the group -- down to the duo of Slug and Ant -- unleashed God Loves Ugly, an 18-track effort that returned to previous themes ("F*@k You Lucy"), but also contained the group's most pop-friendly single to date, "Modern Man's Hustle."
By this time indie rap superstars, Atmosphere returned with their fourth album, Seven's Travels, in 2003, followed two years later by You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having. The group continued to put music out during the next couple of years, including the free download Strictly Leakage in late 2007, a near-party album that they followed up with When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That S**t Gold in April 2008, a record that featured plenty of live instrumentation and guest background vocal spots from Tom Waits and TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe. The double-EP To All My Friends: Blood Makes the Blade Holy appeared in 2010, with the full-length album The Family Sign following in 2011. ~ Dan LeRoy, Rovi

Re: A Bit of Cub Flare for Serial #21005All but one of my Cubs has an underslung exhaust. I just leave them the way they are, generally the intake is still the color of the tractor and the other half is more rust color.
Forgot I did use the 'header' paint on the 50. It seems to hold up well enough. This Cub mostly sits around looking good... Not sure I would use the silver again, but it was some nasty before I painted it.

Ken: All I can say on the bling side of things is that Ellie when she goes to shows wears only a few pieces of special bling.
The last two are very, very special to me as they were Christmas gifts back in 2004 whilst I was recovering from a sextuple by-pass. The folks in this community have always been very special to me, but since that period in my life, a number of them are not just special, not just friends, but more of my extended family, each of them know who they are This is a pic of one piece of bling Ellie will wear when I take her to shows or my own CubFests from now on it - as long as she isn't working. A special thanks to Mike for making this one up. A very beautiful work of art and one that I cherish deeply.

From Energy in Depth-Ohio blogger Shawn Bennett earlier this month:
Currently, there are plans to construct at least three new natural gas-fired power plants in Ohio, owing to the state's newfound bounty of natural gas from the Utica Shale. While it is no secret that shale development is bringing prosperity to eastern Ohio — with an influx of billions of dollars in investment and creating tens of thousands of high-paying jobs — utilities are also recognizing that natural gas prices are also well below the national average, which is due in large part to abundant supplies of natural gas right under our feet.

From ProPublica today:
Chesapeake Energy's $5 Billion Shuffle
When Chesapeake Energy, one of the nation's largest oil and gas companies, was facing a financial crisis at the end of 2011, it managed to execute an adroit escape -- raising nearly $5 billion by gouging rural landowners out of royalty payments they were supposed to receive in exchange for allowing the company to drill for natural gas on their property, ProPublica's Abrahm Lustgarten reports.
In his new investigation, Lustgarten explains that drilling companies like Chesapeake can levy any fees they want for moving gas through gathering lines to the nation's interstate pipelines. Chesapeake took full advantage of this by selling a significant portion of its local pipelines system to Access Midstream, a newly formed company that evolved out of Chesapeake itself, for $4.76 billion in much-needed cash.
Chesapeake agreed to repay Access along with a 15 percent return by sending much of the gas it discovered for at least the next decade through its pipes at an inflated cost. The added fees would be taken out of royalty payments -- forcing landowners to cover the principal and interest on what amounts to a multi-billion dollar loan from Access.
The fight over whether a Texas company can drill for gas in Western Pennsylvania without consent from landowners will have a formal public hearing with state officials this month.
The state Department of Environmental Protection has assigned a hearing officer to take arguments and testimony from department officials, the driller Hilcorp Energy Co. and landowners on March 25 and 26 in New Castle. The notice Tuesday was the first public word in months from the DEP on how it will manage a dispute over where Hilcorp will be allowed to drill for gas in the Utica shale under Lawrence and Mercer counties.

WASHINGTON, March 12, 2014 – Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports will grow the U.S. economy while strengthening the energy security of America and its allies, including Ukraine, said API Director of Upstream and Industry Operations Erik Milito on a conference call today.
"For the first time in generations, the United States is an energy superpower," said Milito. "And the world – especially Europe and countries like Russia, China, and India – is watching closely to see if American policymakers are ready to harness that power on the international stage.
"Now is the time to build our energy infrastructure, expand exports, and lock in the economic and geopolitical opportunities that our energy revolution has created. To do that, we need continued support from policymakers in Washington to build LNG export terminals.
"Our allies know U.S. exports will undoubtedly have an impact long before the first tanker leaves our shores, and they are eager to diversify their energy supplies with reliable, steady supplies from the United States.
"By accelerating exports, we can strengthen the global energy market against future disruptions and send a signal to the world that the United States is ready to lead. Our growth as a major exporter would bring competition into the market and help ease the ties that bind our allies to any single supplier.
"The U.S. Department of Energy commissioned a study by NERA, which concluded that LNG exports would yield net economic benefits across all scenarios. The study also showed that concerns about domestic natural gas prices were unfounded.
"The only thing standing between America and a steady flow of jobs and capital are self-imposed bureaucratic restrictions."

After accounting for more than one third of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports throughout the 1990s, Indonesia's share of the global market is currently about 7%. This declining share is a result of both growing global LNG demand that is increasingly served by non-Indonesian supply and lower Indonesian exports. While Indonesia's LNG exports have fallen by 40% since 1999—driven by the country's economic growth that has stimulated higher levels of domestic energy consumption, particularly of natural gas—global LNG demand has risen over 150% during the same period.

Maryland's second-highest court has upheld a judge's ruling that the Cove Point gas facility can be converted to be used for exports, siding with the company that owns the plant and against an environmental group.
The Sierra Club argued in court that a 2005 agreement between the organization and the plant's owner, Dominion, prevents it from being used as a base for sending liquefied natural gas abroad.

From the American Petroleum Institute today:
WASHINGTON, March 5, 2014 ─ Recent unrest in Ukraine has sparked renewed calls for the Department of Energy to quickly approve long-delayed exports of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG). API Director of Upstream and Industry Operations Erik Milito welcomed the focus on LNG exports and reiterated that U.S. exports would serve as a valuable option for U.S. allies in Europe and around the world.
"Our allies in Europe are eager for a reliable partner to enter the marketplace as a stable, secure source of natural gas, and American industry is ready to make that happen," said Milito. "Thanks to the U.S. energy revolution, America is now the world's leading producer of natural gas, which means that our LNG exports could significantly strengthen the global energy market against crisis and manipulation. That's a win-win for our economy and for our friends.
"Unfortunately, the slow pace of federal approval for U.S. LNG export facilities has stalled the construction of infrastructure, weakening our competitive position. Accelerating that regulatory process would not only reduce our trade deficit and create jobs here in the U.S., it would bolster the geopolitical power of the U.S. and provide security to our allies."
Milito also cited a recent study of U.S. job gains and economic growth associated with future exports of LNG. According to the report, by ICF International, the economic benefits of LNG exports will extend far beyond natural gas-producing states, driving national job growth and increasing demand for U.S. steel, cement, equipment, and other goods.

From the American Petroleum Institute today:
WASHINGTON, March 5, 2014 – Minorities are projected to fill an unprecedented number of jobs in the oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries—increasing from one-quarter of total jobs in 2010 to one-third by 2030—according to a new IHS report sponsored by API.
"The oil and natural gas industry pays wages significantly higher than the national average and can provide tremendous career opportunities for women and minorities," said Jack Gerard, API President and CEO. "To lower unemployment and shrink the income inequality gap without spending a dime of taxpayer money, we encourage President Obama to embrace this pro-development energy opportunity."
Of up to 1.3 million new job opportunities in the oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries predicted by 2030, almost 408,000 positions—32 percent of the total—are projected to be held by African American and Hispanic workers, according to the report. Women are estimated to fill 185,000 of those jobs, and 63 percent of new job opportunities will be in blue collar professions.
"We have the natural resources and the technology to be a global energy superpower with all the economic and national security benefits that entails," Gerard said. "Smart energy policy will create tremendous opportunity for hundreds of thousands of workers –from those with just a high school diploma and some post-secondary training to those with post-graduate degrees."
"As the study highlights job opportunities, it signals the tremendous need to prepare African Americans, Hispanics and Women to be ready to fill the workforce gap", said Paula Jackson, president and CEO of the American Association of Blacks in Energy. "These jobs in the oil and natural gas industry don't just put people to work, they help to transform communities."
"This powerful and important report is a road map for workforce development stakeholders to align the content of their training with a sense of urgency to adequately prepare people for energy jobs," said José L. Pérez, chairman and CEO Of Hispanics In Energy. "Energy job replacement and growth is a clear pathway for diverse communities to rise from poverty to middle-class, what a rare opportunity."
The IHS report, Minority and Female Employment in the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Industries (2014), examines the employment outlook of African American and Hispanic workers and employment by gender in six industry segments: the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry; petrochemical industry; capital investment in oil and natural gas transportation and storage infrastructure; and capital investment in the petrochemicals industry.

check trade checker, it gotta be flip and in order for it to work. ^$$$^
Only one I got to work, and add in probably a lottery protected 2012 number 1
EDIT: Only way it could work is AC for Ty straight up as a trade exception, and Graham and the number one for international rights or a number two with a trade exception.
check trade checker, it gotta be flip and in order for it to work. ^$$$^
I just don't like his skill sets. Or lack of skill sets. and brains and stuff. I mean hes a very very very very very poor man's Ben Wallace so maybe Larry can pull something out of him. We need an offensive threat and I don't think Tyrus is anywhere close to that. We will see.
Where Trading Happens As Much As It Does On
NBA Live
Shit, it is Flip.With hours to go before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline, here's some of the latest buzz:
The Bobcats, determined to add an athletic big man to their front court, are close to landing Tyrus Thomas in a deal with the Bulls that would send expiring contracts and a future No. 1 pick to Chicago, a person with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com.
While the source cautioned that the deal was not completed, it would involve Charlotte's only expiring contracts -- those of Flip Murray and Acie Law -- plus a future first-round pick. The Bobcats would have the rest of the season to evaluate the soon-to-be restricted free agent and decide whether to commit to Thomas long-term. Trading Thomas spares the Bulls the embarrassment of losing one of their best players through free agency with no compensation for the second year in a row.
If successful in landing Thomas, Charlotte would circumvent discussions between the Knicks and Bulls involving a swap centered around Al Harrington.
We need to sign Dontell from the D-League then.
How come all our trades that we do seem so bone-headed when compared to that of others?
The only one that makes any sense is the Jax trade thus far.
Another team executive, who had been interested in Thomas, told Y!, "We're out of it now. I think (the Bulls) are getting their deal." 2 minutes ago from web
Charlotte is close to acquiring Chicago's Tyrus Thomas for Acie Law, Flip Murray and a future first-round pick, sources say. 3 minutes ago from web
Wojo's been pretty good so far gettin stuff right so it looks like itll probably happen. I wonder if it is the only move we make?

Fun for beginners and cool scenery. The facilties are nice. This course is open and the tee pads are non-existent. Go if close, don't make a special trip.

I rate this course 3 out of 5 stars.
- Playground, pavilions, grills, volleyball, multiple baseball fields, horse shoes & a decorative tank =) I think there was also tennis and a few other things present. So good place to bring the family.

Good recreational 9 hole course. Three sets of tees provide options for distinctive rounds. Natural tee pads are in bad shape, no course or hole signage is present and some of the heavily wooded areas could be cleared out more. All in all it's a nice park and a decent course that needs some maintenance and improvements. Fairway driver, a couple of midranges and a putter are all you need.

Thompson Fenugreek -- 620 mg - 60 Capsules
Has helped a lot
I was relieved when I first heard of fenugreek and how it helps increase milk production. Then I saw how much it cost and was sad because I realized it was going to get pricey. When I found Vitacost and saw their price for it I was ecstatic!
I take my capsules each day and I'm able to express more milk when I'm at work and my son doesn't need formula after nursing when I'm home! (and boy can he eat!)
I've already recommended this product from this site to a friend who just had twins and another friend who recently learned she's pregnant!

My ideal Pebble smartwatch setup on iOS 7
When I first put on a Pebble smartwatch shortly after it was made available at Best Buy, I was excited. The thought of being able to leave my phone in my coat pocket, or in another room, and receiving alerts on my wrist was very appealing. Quickly I realized the watch only lived up to half of the hype I had built up in my mind. As someone who switches back and forth between iOS and Android on a nearly weekly, sometimes daily, basis, it didn't take a long time for me to see there were plenty of shortcomings … Read more

Greensboro or DC... I'm soooo there!!
Greensboro or DC... I'm soooo there!!
I'd be happy with any city on the east coast where SW flies (just not Reading). I doubt they'd put it in a large city like DC, given the poor turnout this year, but George Mason U's arena in Fairfax, VA might be a good spot. Or they could use Northeastern U's arena in Boston.
But please let it be somewhere near civilization - not Lake Placid!
Baltimore would be great! There are lots of things to do within walking distance of the Inner Harbor!
Then I guess they wouldn't like Reading. Not only was there nothing around the arena, there was nothing at or around the hotel, either. Hotel stopped serving at something like 9 or 10 (and that included room service). When we checked in, there was a sign at the front desk that said the restaurant was open until midnight, but it turned out that was only for those with credentials. I was so pissed off, I wrote a complaint on the corporate Sheraton website, which got us a free stay.
I hope to never return to Reading.
It would be awesome if it were in Baltimore, but the arena is not suitable.
I vote for Phoenix.
NOT on the West Coast, please. SA and the Championships both in CA this year is just too hard for those in the East. It makes no sense to not share the events around the country to me.
I didn't go to SA because I'm going to San Jose.
Lake Placid is so nice to attend events despite the travel challenges. However, putting it in a place with an airport does make sense. Portland is a great place for skating but we went there last year. Give it a rest.
I suggest Hartford, Colorado Springs or Denver, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Dallas, Philly, Boston, St Louis or anywhere not West since it's been West for two years! Last time SA was East it was in Lake Placid.
That sucks. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I went to SA there a few years back and had a great time, and ate like a pig all over the place, in fact just thinking about the huge Amish meal we had one day makes me feel full! Lol so .... I guess it just goes to show, sometimes things are just a little off.
I think it's great that Lalique is always at bercy right in downtown Paris, although I have no idea how they afford to keep it up. It's always 60% empty when I go. Maybe polo or something can fund SA to always be at mad sq garden. Lol but personally I wouldn't mind if it was permanently at lp. Sure, one has to drive a few hours into the mts, but everyone always acts like getting there is an odyssey. It's not.
It's an odyssey when you have to take two flights to get to Albany and then drive a few hours after that to get to LP. I live in the South and my trips to Vancouver have been shorter than my trip to LP. It also adds the expense of a rental car or another form of transportation.

I've never been to Lake Placid.
Much as I would like to attend events there, the available transportation options are not feasible for me.
I'm in the South, also.

Lake Placid FTW.

FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE - the final book in the trilogy
Since it has been announced (in the JGP thread), that there's a JGP in Lake Placid over the Labour Day weekend 2012, I doubt that they would put SA there 6 weeks later.
But stranger things have happened ....
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
(Edna St Vincent Millay)
How about:
Providence RI
Worcester MA
Norfolk VA
Albany NY
Hershey PA
Charlotte NC
I think all of those have arenas that house minor league hockey. Do they have skate club sponsors?
I'd do Hartford, Pittsburgh, Lake Placid, or Reading again too. Maybe I will finally see the Pagoda.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
I don't think a local skate club is needed as a sponsor for SA. It's an ISU event, so the USFSA is considered the LOC, I think.
I'd go for Hershey - that's an easy drive for me. Providence would be good, too - cheap, direct flight on SW. Same with Albany. Charlotte is also direct. I think Norfolk and Worcester are too far off the beaten path.

Overstock had the best price for this size and quality stud earrings. However, butterfly backs were razor thin and flimsy. I had to get replacement butterfly backs because the ones supplied could not grip the posts of the studs.
T***** in the fine jewelry department helped me come to the decision to purchase this pair of earrings. I have been studying diamonds and what quality should look good on earrings. I2 should be a good fit being that people will not notice any small inclusions they may have & IGL is a credible certification company. They came in with good size, sparkle, and cut. My wife loves them. I recently had to return another pair from another company. Overstock assured me that I wouldn't have to return these and if I did there would be no problems. Well, they were right. Very much a deal!
I love these earrings they were a great set for the price. I wear them all the time and get lots of compliments
The product arrived quickly and promptly. The earrings were of fair size, but had inclusions in the upper half of the stone that made them appear "cloudy". This was a black friday deal and the price was very tempting... but overall not the quality i expected.
These were a gift from the family to my 83 year old mom for Christmas, and she was completely thrilled with the size and appearance. She said the setting was very good quality and the earrings really sparkled. I was concerned because they were I2 in clarity, but they really look great on her and sparkle plenty. Very happy with these earrings and they were a super deal at the price I paid on Cyber Monday.
my wife has a super high quality diamond ring so getting her ear rings was a challenge. the clarity on these diamonds is quite good and the price was perfect. she wears them almost every day and loves them.
I am not through looking yet! I love Overstock keep up with good pricing on everything, and good customer staff support never have had problems.
I took the earrings to a nearby jeweler to get them appraised and was happy with their assessment.

Fresh Fall Container Gardens
Pumpkin pretty [1]
Emphasize the bounty of autumn by packing your fall container garden with a variety of plants. They don't need much elbowroom for end-of-the-season growing. This planter, an antique cream separator, makes good neighbors of (clockwise, from top middle) red cockscomb celosia, yellow pansies, blue fescue (Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'), orange 'Peter Pan Mix' zinnias, 'Pink Pewter' lamium, 'Deep Orange' pansies and rosemary. Pumpkins and gourds displayed next to your fall container add an extra splash of seasonal color.
Tub of color [4]
Ornamental grasses bring handsome height to a metal laundry tub. 'Burgundy Giant' red fountaingrass provides a rusty backdrop for dark pink, daisylike 'Cecilia' chrysanthemum and cheerful Sundaze Golden Yellow strawflower. Petite blue fescue adds texture at the front of the vintage container.
Crazy for kale [7]
One of fall's healthiest veggies looks as good in a vase as it does on your plate. Group flowering kale with vibrant flowers for easy autumnal arrangements.
Find colorful kales at your local farmers market or flower shop. To grow in your garden: Plant them in moist, well-drained soil in full sun.
In our container at back, vibrant orange Ranunculus and pincushion flowers give white flowering kale a boost. In the smaller container, purple mini calla lilies blend with purple kale, while globe-shape yellow billy balls (Craspedia) provide happy accents.
Vertical drama [10]
Fall annuals typically are short, so try dried accents to add vertical drama. Here, peacock kale and mums fill the planter, while dried pampas grass and iris pods give the arrangement height and texture.
Overflowing wheelbarrow [13]
A mound of bold purple mums becomes the focal point among foliage in a wheelbarrow. In front of the mums, purple flowering kale blends with trailing bacopa. Spurge brings a hint of red to the far right and left corners. The purple-tinted leaves of bugleweed separate two clumps of spiky santolina. Fox-red curly sedge adds an airy note in back.
Bountiful birdbath [16]
A weathered concrete birdbath elevates a spicy plant mix. 'Blushing Emily' chrysanthemum and wispy 'Pink Champagne' rubygrass bring bursts of cinnamon-red to green kale and yellow-green Golden Globes loosestrife. The dark foliage of red-centered Tiny Toes coleus and bronzy Dolce Crème Brulee coral bells round out the arrangement.
Graceful plumes [19]
The proportions of this 2-foot-tall urn support the height of the purple fountaingrass, Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'. Add more autumn color with red-leaf coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Sedona', upper left); the bronze-and-golden blooms of Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherokee Sunset', Calibrachoa 'Million Bells Terra Cotta' and 'Scarlet' pansies around the base. The brown grass Carex flagellifera 'Toffee Twist' fills out the right edge.
Super simple [22]
Beautiful containers can be as simple as one type of plant per pot. Group several one-plant pots for maximum impact. Here, pots of mums, pansies, burning bush and kalanchoe add bright fall color to the patio setting.
Tall advantages [25]
Tall plants such as cannas provide dramatic focal points in containers. This half wine barrel holds generously sized orange-blooming Tropicanna cannas, purple fountaingrass, firebush (Hamelia patens), lantanas and zinnias.
Color punch [28]
Burgundy and purple pair naturally and beautifully in fall containers. Inside this pot: 'Wine and Roses' weigela; Liriope muscari 'Silvery Sunproof', 'Longin' Russian sage, 'Thyra Viking' aster, Kong Scarlet coleus and 'Osaka' flowering cabbage. Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldtau' rounds out the scheme but is obscured in this photo.
Container to go [31]
Wheelbarrows make creative containers for fall plants--with the added benefit that you can wheel them into the garage on cold fall nights. A red wheelbarrow accents tall red-leaf hibiscus (Hibiscus acetosella 'Red Shield') and a host of other colorful plants: grasses leatherleaf sedge (Carex buchananii) and Acorus gramineus 'Ogon'; burgundy-leaf coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides); bright green basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Nufar Hybrid') and lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Little Gem'); trailing Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks'; and pumpkins, hedge apple and pansies (Viola x wittrockiana).
A bit of everything [34]
Tuck a variety of annuals, perennials and grasses into an antique galvanized container. A swath of red-burgundy 'Helen' chrysanthemums anchors this arrangement, encircled by purple ornamental cabbage; Superbells Trailing Blue Calibrachoa hybrid; Goldilocks Lysimachia nummularia; 'Tricolor' sage (Salvia officinalis); and in the back, fountaingrass (Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln'). Make sure your container has good holes for drainage.
Texture and color [37]
A splash from a fall aster and a purple-blue petunia is all the color this handsome container needs. The rest is done with texture. The crock uses 'Sungal' aster, 'Shenandoah' switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), donkeytail spurge (Euphorbia myrsinites), purple petunias and tricolor sage.
October colors [40]
Pair similar containers of varying heights to add visual interest. Both containers feature 'Orange Symphony' osteospermum hybrids and blue leadwort (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides). The large pot also includes 'Ace of Spades' sweet potato vine, Ajuga reptans 'Catlin's Giant' and purple fountaingrass. The small container adds purple 'Plum Pudding' coralbells and Carex flagellifera 'Toffee Twist'.
Seasonal showpiece [43]
Pink Chrysanthemum and yellow strawflower (Helichrysum bracteantha) add bright color to a pair of ornamental grasses in this container, which would make a big statement at an entrance or in a blank spot in the garden. Small blue fescue (Festuca glauca) provides a burst of cool color and helps draw the eye up to red fountaingrass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Burgundy Giant').
Frost-kissed [46]
You can enjoy the beauty of a frosty morning--knowing it won't harm your container garden--with this simple grouping of hens-and-chicks (Sempervivum), Ajuga reptans 'Mahogany', and flowering kale. All three plants take the autumn chill with ease.
Simple and soothing [49]
This easy container features a rugged dwarf hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and a pair of lavender violas (Viola spp.) for a soothing look. A mulch of coarse stones accented by one larger stone helps create a natural scene in miniature.
Fall fireworks [52]
This vivid container features bold Aster 'Purple Dome' and flowering kale, creating a festive feel with bright colors. The arching lines of variegated sedge (Carex hachijoensis) offer a striking complement.
Sunny delight [55]
Silvery thread-leaf licorice plant (Helichrysum 'Icicles') and a galvanized bucket contrast with bright yellow pansies to make a dramatic statement. Ivy (Hedera helix) flows over the container edge.
All frills [58]
Ruffly 'Redbor' kale, a variety that grows darker with each frost, pairs nicely with a petal-filled pink Chrysanthemum. Silver dusty miller, with its fine-texture foliage, gracefully finishes the picture.
Natural beauty [61]
Harvest hues come naturally in this pairing of a terra-cotta pot with plants that reflect the container's reddish color. Purplish-red Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) anchors the grouping along with green-and-russet coleus (Solenostemon 'Ulrich'). Orange mum (Chrysanthemum 'Festive Ursula') and green-leaf Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Efanthia' provide accents.

A potting shed window box overflows with golden yarrow, green asparagus ferns and dried hydrangeas, plus vinca and Swedish ivy.
Chair garden [67]
A willow chair serves as a rustic container for a mixture of dried hydrangeas, pumpkins and potted plants that include geraniums, Swedish ivy, dusty miller, petunia and 'Tricolor' sweet potato vines.
