Has anyone used wallpaper that looks like tile?
We're re-doing our kitchen on a shoestring and as much as I'd love to have tiny glass tiles on our backsplash walls, we can't afford the hundreds of dollars it would cost.
When I was looking into mosaic glass tile on Ebay, I came across a wallpaper that looks like the tile and it's "puffy" and shaded so it seems to have a little depth to it. It's washable but doesn't say 100% vinyl. I've requested a sample.
Has anyone used tile wallpaper and if so, were you pleased with the results?
Yes and it looks very nice but you are not going to fool your friends with it but I think it can look much better than tile and you can take it down when you are tired of it. Of course you can do that with tile too but if you think taking wallpaper down is a problem, try taking down tile. I had wallpaper that looked like French tiles with a little French print a la gingham look on the walls, years ago and it was very, very attractive and yes, the puffy is the kind you want but you want to be sure the paperhanger has hung that kind before as it can be a bit tricky smoothing it out so as not to loose the "puffy."
Hi, Newhomebuilder -- if you go to Ebay and type "mosaic tile wallpaper" you should get some results. The one I've requested a sample of is cream with gold grout. I should have the sample in a day or two and will add a comment here.
OK, I received the sample paper today! I've taken a couple of photos of it so hopefully you'll get an idea of what it's like.
Yes, it's puffy, but it's just the tiniest bit, and it's not as though the "tiles" are raised and the "grout" is low (the way I was hoping it'd be when I read that it was puffy.) The whole paper is just a bit thick and then little tiny divots are pressed into it, much like on a vinyl floor, so that not every single flaw shows up. I can mark it with the edge of a fingernail but it seems to puff back a little, so it's forgiving.
I put a quarter in the photo so you can judge the size of the tiles. It seems to be all vinyl and I was able to Windex it and wipe it with a paper towel, the same way I'd clean it if it was on my backsplash.
The sample I requested is an off-white/cream color with gold "grout" and I really like it. The grout is shinier than the tile and some of the tiles are slightly darker in color, so it looks a bit like real mosaic where not every single tile is exactly flat. Will it fool anyone? Naw, but we're working on our old farmhouse kitchen, not the Taj Mahal :)
If we use it, I'll post a few photos of my humble kitchen!
That is similar to an anaglypta. You can do fantastic backsplash with this, one that I had for many years with anglypta. Make sure whoever does your wallpaper is very good and knows how to do this or they will ruin it. It must be pasted on with a good wheat paste. Do NOT use a smoothing roller to remove the wrinkles. Lightly move with your hands back and forth but use a brush smoother for the seams. You can overlap this a little as the Brits (all Europeans, I guess) do with their wallpaper so that you do not have depressed areas so that you will not lose your relief pattern.
Then paint it with a soft brush or sponge. Don't bear down when painting. Give it 2-3 coats lighter than what you want. Then go over it with a glaze in a medium woodhue. Be very particular that you use a water-base glaze for this (a wood stain color in a very, very light wood, like an oak or a pale pine stain) and do wipe it on ever so gently with gauze for that purpose. When it has dried well after 2-3 days burnish it with the finest grade steel wool that you buy at a paint store. IT will be very impressive and will look like it cost a million bucks, not just a million manhours to get it that way!!!!
Wait! Wait! Patricia43 -- why would I paint over my wallpaper? I Googled "anaglypta" and it seems to be a thick, embossed white wallpaper that can be painted or finished. But the stuff I'm thinking about buying (above) is already finished and is the color I want. I'm confused!
Folkvictorian: I think Patricia was giving general directions for painting anaglypta wall paper. Yours obviously doesn't need anything but hanging.
Does the wall paper have a brand name?
I think this is a great idea, and I'm going to look into it myself.
well and it looks very nice.Glass Mosaic tiles are impervious to the elements, thus it is great for both interior and exterior use so moisture is not an issue. Stone Glass Mosaic are great on floors and walls and have been most popular in bathrooms, spas, kitchen backsplash, wall facades and pools as well as a variety of other applications.
I used "beadboard" wallpaper in our kitchen and it turned out well - I am a wallpaper novice so there are some seams not 100% perfect but until you look really closely you can't tell it is not real. I imagine the same is true for the tile type!
It was very cheap and took 1 day to do, and if and when we want to put in tile it is easy to remove this.
After I got all intrigued, I saw it was from 2009. I wish folkvictorian would come back and let us know if she ended up using it. I did google "mosaic tile wallpaper" and it is very expensive - 2ft x 10ft is $90. I would like to do something like this above my cooktop area (the prev.owners wallpapered above there and then put a sheet of plexiglass over it with those little thingy's you hang mirrors with - ugh - it has to go soon.

From Isaac Newton Group: "Astronomers Release Most Detailed Catalogue Ever Made of the Visible Milky Way"
Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes

A new catalogue of the visible part of the northern part of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, includes no fewer than 219 million stars. Geert Barentsen of the University of Hertfordshire led a team who assembled the catalogue in a ten year programme using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) on La Palma in the Canary Islands. Their work appears today in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
From dark sky sites on Earth, the Milky Way appears as a glowing band stretching across the sky. To astronomers, it is the disk of our own galaxy, a system stretching across 100,000 light-years, seen edge-on from our vantage point orbiting the Sun. The disk contains the majority of the stars in the galaxy, including the Sun, and the densest concentrations of dust and gas.
The unaided human eye struggles to distinguish individual objects in this crowded region of the sky, but the 2.5-m mirror of the INT enabled the scientists to resolve and chart 219 million separate stars. The INT programme charted all the stars brighter than 20th magnitude – or almost 1 million times fainter than can be seen with the human eye.
Using the catalogue, the scientists have put together an extraordinarily detailed map of the disk of the galaxy that shows how the density of stars varies, giving them a new and vivid insight into the structure of this vast system of stars, gas and dust.
The image included here, a cut-out from a stellar density map mined directly from the released catalogue, illustrates the new view obtained. The Turner-like brush strokes of dust shadows would grace the wall of any art gallery. Maps like these also stand as useful tests of new-generation models for the Milky Way.
A density map of part of the Milky Way disk, constructed from IPHAS data. The scales show galactic latitude and longitude, coordinates that relate to the position of the centre of the galaxy. The mapped data are the counts of stars brighter than 20th magnitude detected in Sloan i, the longer (redder) wavelength broad band of the survey. Although this is just a small section of the full map, it portrays in exquisite detail the complex patterns of obscuration due to interstellar dust. This image contains 600 × 2400 independent data points, each of which represents the star count within 1 × 1 square arcminute cells (1 arcminute is 1/60th of a degree). At the level of the original exposed images, each cell is itself made up of 32,000 pixels. The typical effective angular resolution of the data is close to 1 arcsecond (1/3600th of a degree or about 10 original image pixels). The section shown features the edge of the Sagittarius spiral arm (near longitude 60 degrees) and the Cygnus-X molecular cloud complex (at around 80 degrees longitude). Both of these appear as regions of reduced star counts due to the obscuring effect of higher dust concentrations. Credit: The stellar density map has been produced by Hywel Farnhill as part of his PhD project at the University of Hertfordshire. Copper colour scale image of the density map: Linear count scale [ labelled | borderless ], square-root count scale [ labelled | borderless ].
The production of the catalogue, IPHAS DR2 (the second release from the survey programme The INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane or IPHAS), is an example of modern astronomy's exploitation of 'big data' – it contains information on the 219 million detected objects, each of which is summarised in 99 attributes.
With this catalogue release, the team are offering the world community free access to measurements taken through two broad band filters capturing light at the red end of the visible spectrum, and in a narrowband capturing the brightest hydrogen emission line, H-alpha. The inclusion of H-alpha also enables exquisite imaging of the nebulae (glowing clouds of gas) found in greatest number within the disk of the Milky Way. The stellar density map illustrated here is derived from the longest (reddest) wavelength band in which the darkening effect of the dust is moderated in a way that brings out more of its structural detail, compared to maps built at shorter (bluer) wavelengths.
The new work appears in Barentsen et al, 2014, The second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2)", Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 444, 3230, published by Oxford University Press. A preprint version is available on the arXiv server.
The catalogue is accessible in queryable form via the VizieR service at the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg. The processed IPHAS images it is derived from are also publically available. The preparation of the catalogue was funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
IPHAS is the acronym standing for "The INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane" (see the IPHAS survey website). IPHAS, in combination with its follow-on sister survey UVEX, imaging the Milky Way using complementary blue filters, has used the Wide Field Camera on the INT in observing campaigns stretching over more than 500 allocated nights since August 2003. Together with another survey, VPHAS+, now in progress on a telescope in Chile, these ambitious observational programmes are collectively known as the European Galactic Plane Surveys (EGAPS). They are exploiting modern high-resolution CCD imaging technology and the growth in computing power to map the entire disk of our galaxy in visible light and at high angular resolution for the first time.

[novice!] normal knockout growth or problem?
I planted several knockout roses this past fall, and they bloomed beautifully this spring. I recently noticed some new growth that seemed to appear very quickly, and the branches are very tall compared to the rest of the bush. After googling to see if this was normal, I found information about rose rosette disease and it made me nervous! I don't *think* my roses look like they have RRD, but they do look unusual. Any ideas from you all?
Thanks in advance!
That's not RRD growth. It might be something weather related and left over from this bad winter and spring. I'd let them bloom and then cut those canes back and hope the plant grows out more evenly. Dead head those old blooms off the lower growth too. Dead heading and pruning will signal the plant to start growing again. Otherwise, they look pretty healthy. Good job!

Kickers and punters have unique routines but play an integral part in the outcome of games, including Oklahoma punter Tress Way. Way spoke with The Oklahoman about his routine and the pressure of his position.
Tress Way: Punters may have it easy but there is more pressure
When I'm punting during practice for a lot of guys it's a 10- or 15-minute break. They actually like it when I'm out there because it's break time for a lot of them.
All the other players stay so busy with all the meetings and drills. We have more time on our hands. Our mind starts to wander a little bit. We're a little different. We know we have the life. We don't try to deny it. I've heard some friends kick at other schools say they have it hard. No, they don't. Kickers and punters have it easy compared to everybody else. But there is more pressure since we only have a few plays to do something good.
I get some respect (from position players) because when we run punt returns (in practice) I get to scramble out (on a fake punt). The other guys kick field goals all day. I get to mess around a little.
The strength coaches sometimes come over and say, 'Tress, we know you're into it but you have to stay back.' There's a line we can't go past. That's hard for me when someone like Frank (Alexander) gets a big interception. I'm usually two or three yards onto the field pumping my fist.
We have a three-game season. That's what coach (Bob Stoops) told us during our scouting report on Baylor. We've been fortunate some doors have opened up. Maybe we can win out and still be in the national title race. After the loss to Texas Tech we got that bitter taste out of mouths but had to trust the process, hope something great was going to happen. We've had some luck, but our focus is on Baylor.

So my LHBS ran out of american 2-row a little over half way through my grain bill. I ended up using british pale 2 row instead for about 1/3 of the base malt - which i understand has less diastatic power. If i understand this correctly that means less ability to convert starch to sugars? So I am thinking about lowering the mash temp a bit to increase fermentability so I end up with close to the right FG. Does that sound right or am i totally confused?
the mash temp will change the balance between fermentable and unfermentable sugars, increasing the mash time is a better solution for lower diastatic power than changing the temp. but in your case I wouldn't worry about changing anything.
60 minutes should still be plenty of time. Last week I did a brew with 42% unmalted wheat and after 60 minutes it iodine tested as converted. I let it go 90 anyway.
Any 2-row, be it pale, pilsner, or MO, will do the job. Diastatic power is only a concern if your grain bill has more than 50% non-base.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

WebRTC is an up-and-coming standard that enables real-time voice and video to be directly embedded into browsers making the browser a primary user interface for communications and collaboration. WebRTC runs in a number of browsers today and is currently supported in over a billion installed browsers globally, across a range of platform OS and devices. Today, organizations that choose to deploy WebRTC applications and use a host machine that supports audio through USB or Bluetooth can use Plantronics products to connect and transit or receive the audio associated with the WebRTC session.

Early Clematis in the Rain
I've been chased indoors by thunder and lightning...
Markham's Pink
Blue Bird
Blue Dancer
A White mystery, returning from near death by rabbit.
Macropetala Species
Purple Spider
There are a few more, but rain ended my adventure out there.
Is this the year that the clematises on the veggie garden arbour should be really taking off and producing a massive show? I've been looking forward to that ever since you built that.... By the looks of what you've posted above, your clematises are in fine form already! So don't forget to post shots of the arbour ones when they peak....
These are likely a harbinger of the rest of them to come from your garden, Marie -- just lovely. You've inspired many of us -- I too planted Constance & Bluebird this year and am hoping for a magnificent showing in a couple more years - like yours. Can't wait to see the rest of them! Thanks for sharing.

Do you blog your gardening?
Here's a question. If you are like me, sharing gardening adventures and projects is more fun when you can load up a server somewhere with tons of pics of your efforts. (*grin*) I also know that the flip side of that coin (showing off your own efforts) is looking in and admiring others! So fess up. Do you blog your gardens? (There are so many easy-to-use free blog sites anymore.) Have your own website? Have a 'scrapbook' on an online photo album? I would love to add some bee-friendly garden links to my own sanctuary blog.
I've posted on several other forums here (compost/ harvest/ bee & beekeeping) but of the four this forum has (IMHO) the best pictures - admiring and inspiring!
So if there is more where those came from, I'd sure like to browse through them, especially over the next few cold and dark months of winter here (NE Ohio). :-)
I do, but I'm just getting started with the plants. I'm also planning to build mason bee houses this month for the yard. We had a lack of bees last year and my squash plants, while full of blooms, produced only 3 tiny squash. 6 plants and I got three squash. There are bee keepers in my area, but none close enough to help me.
I think I already have yours listed as well as a few links about bees and mason bee houses. I'm really looking forward to companion planting this year. I've got borage, dill, fennel, bee balm, and a ton of other seeds to go into the gardens this year. Oh, and echinacea.
I've been blogging my garden for almost two years. Stop by sometime.
Here is a link that might be useful: Defining Your Home Garden (my blog)
Kind of a blog - more of a journal, but lots of pics and space for carrying on.
Here is a link that might be useful: My garden journal blog - click journal tab
No I don't blog, I'm a blog lurker, I very much enjoy reading them though. DH has enough trouble keeping me from crashing my computer, if I asked him to help me set this up he'd probably leave home, can't have that LOL. A garden page might be in the future if I watch my P's and Q's.
I've visited your blog! Great pics and info. :-)
I, too, am going to build mason bee houses this year. I found this interesting item on a bee site:
The OMB (orchard mason bee - my comment) pollinates at a rate of 93% to 99% efficiency. The European honey bee is only about 3% efficient.
(from BirdsAmore)
So you should have better luck with your squash this coming year if you can attract the masons. :-)
Cameron -- thanks for the link. I look forward to visiting!
Kris (Melissa Majora blog)
I read that too kiddo. I was surprised they are more effective than honeybees.
And my blog is more of a journal, weather diary, gardening, house recording method. I keep really bad records of what I do here, so I hope a blog (started 12/21/08) will help me maintain better records of my activities.
Like today's post, it's just a bunch of memories and things I've found in boxes while cleaning the basement, again. Why this space needs to be cleaned every couple of weeks I don't know. I seem to make the biggest mess there when I work on even a simple project.
This spring, it will be more about plants and outdoors. Right now, it's about the preparation, and me.
I just started mine on Thanksgiving. I figured it would give me time to work things out by spring. A lot of computer things, I really don't know very well. I have also found it difficult to write about things past. I think in the spring when I post about things as they are happening, it will be much easier.

I love visiting blogs. I have a long feed list of favs. Everybody should start a blog.
It isn't hard, and one doesn't have to be a writer or a photographer. Just be you.
My primary garden blog is here:
One of my flower beds has its own blog:
Please leave a comment (just say Hello so I'll know who was there) on the blogs if you visit. Thanks.
From 2003-2006 I had a web site. I left that server (dial-up) and the server retained the Web Site.
It can still be viewed, I just can't make changes. You can go in on the Winter Pages here:
Hi Kris,
I'm glad you posted this, as you got more bloggers to post. I will have fun visiting these blogs, including yours.
Here is a link that might be useful: A Corner Garden
The site that SueCIrish uses for her blog looks like a great site for a journaling type blog.
You can make as many 'Gardens' as you like -- this could be a separate 'Garden' for all the flower beds in your garden.
Track every plant you add from seed or transplant, to bloom to pulling up
Post your pics from Picasa or Flickr.
You can even make a list of plants you want to add.
All of the above activities can be accessed from the menu on the opening page.
So many sites to visit, so little time. :-)
Just an FYI, I spent yesterday adding a whole new page to my blog, one devoted to pics of my gardens. Soon I'll add still another page - one for the vegetables. Having more than one blog page helps sorting out different projects. Thought I might as well do it now before it's time to lose myself in seed starts in the basement. ;-)
Internet - gotta love it.
I started a gardening blog, but didn't stay with it when I realized I'd have to post pics.
I can do the writing, but I don't do much photography. I don't own a digital camera. (My daughter gave me her old non-digital one, which she says is simple to use, and I hate it.) The world has gotten too "techie" for me.
I like cameras you just point, click, and wind and if I could get film for my old camera with 110 film (there I said it!) then I'd do it. I also find the throw-away cameras don't take the in-depth kind of pictures I want, but I do use those sometimes. I want to take pictures of large parts of the yard, not just photos of flowers. I like photos that show plants in context. So, bottom-line, I don't blog.
foxesearth, I just love that site where my blog-journal is. I think it makes tracking everything in all your gardens very easy and a lot of fun. So it makes you want to keep it up to date. And everyone is very nice there and helpful too. There is just very little trading activity which I really enjoy here and have made lots of garden friends by swapping. Did you sign up? If you did, look me up and add me as your buddy.
Red thistle, who says you HAVE to post pictures in a blog?
There are many blogs with few to no photos. Just give good descriptions and don't apologize for no pics.
Call it a Journal. You could even make little sketches and scan them in.
If you want posies to 'purty' it up, you're welcome to borrow some of mine, just tell me what you want to use.
I hope you'll change your mind about a digital camera. Take your time. Think of it as possible, which it is.
OK, not a huge fan of Blogs....I just spend so many hours on computers, that just coming onto the web for fun is a big deal. And of couse, as Kiddo says, "So many sites to visit, so little time. :-) ". Yep. It's not the first thing I seek out - sorry y'all, cause when I actually do I enjoy them.
I do. I have a gardening blog... but it's in Vietnamese! I intend to start another one in English so I can share with you guys but don't know how to add it onto the existing Vietnamese one :-(
Here is a link that might be useful: Tuysonvien - My blog in Vietnamese
Redthistle, there are lots of "point and shoot" inexpensive digital cameras out there! If anyone as camera illiterate as I am can use them, so can you. My first was the cheapest Canon digital you could find, very few megapixels and it served me well for several years. I would still recommend Canon. They have models under $100. When I figure what it would cost me in film and developing, the savings is staggering. I wish you would try one. I think you would have so much fun. They are a super gardening tool.
haxuan - I see that you use Google Blogger. It's really simple to add another page to your blog, one that you could have all in English if you want. If you check out my blog you can see that I recently added 2 extra pages to mine so I could show 'off topic' pics of my gardens (links at top of sidebar). Email me. I'd be happy to help. :-)
I have a translator widget on mine. Do you know how to add widgets to your sidebar? I have heard they are not always accurate, but it would give us an idea of what you have already written on your blog. I've never seen one on someone's blog that was in a different language, but I'd love to see how it works from theirs.

I might try a cheap & easy (sounds bad doesn't it?) digital camera. When I HAD to take photos for a court appearance (long time ago), I borrowed my daughter's boyfriend's fancy camera with one of those long lenses then went to a camera shop and had them show me what to do and wrote it all down. I actually had a lot of fun with it and took some great photos. We'll see.
Thanks so much, Kris and Sue.
Actually I know very little about this blog things :-), I'm all new. I've tried to add something to the sidebar of my blog as suggested by Google, but so far I could only add "Blog archive" and "Photos"!
Kris, I'll look at your blog and will email you soon for help.
Sue, I'll also check out your translator widget. Bet it will be real fun!
I bought my technophobic sister a Sony Cyber-Shot. When I gave it to her, I had set it for Automatic. Other than turn it on, she doesn't have to do anything else but point and shoot. Now, downloading the images, and all that...it's another story. But I just use mine like a folder. When I plug it in, a box pops up asking me what to do. I click on View Files. There are all my images. She has some fancy program that does all that for her. I couldn't figure it out and my way works for me.
I use blogger. You can go to their homepage at www.blogger.com and start your own blog. You can upload pictures, format it how you want it, or chose one of their templates. I chose a simple template and changed some fonts and colors. You can also make it private if you wish.
I've also JUST started blogging about one week ago and it's so addicting, in fact almost as addicting as gardening. It's so fun to find like minded people and learn new things and see beautiful photos.
It wasn't too difficult setting it up.
Please visit my blog: A Gardener in Progress
I've seen many of the blogs listed here and they are wonderful.

Lucky 1, you've done a lot in a short time with your blog; cute family, pretty garden.
I'm really enjoying the Garden Journal site that SueCIrish told us about. Much better organization for keeping up with the various areas of the garden and the plants in each, if an online Journal is what you want.
The secret is to just jump right in. You can correct any boo boos later, including changing the name of a garden that you didn't want to another. The same applies to plants, just type over the ones you don't want. Photos can only be uploaded from Picasa (if you have a Blogspot blog, you have Picasa) and Flickr. Maybe later for Photobucket, they say.
I'm still discovering new features.

Xuan ~ How wonderful to see your blog. Your homes and gardens are lovely.
Lucky1 ~ What wonderful gardens you have. Your pond is really neat, your kids are cute and it's great that your DH is willing to use his muscles for your gardening projects.
I went to My Folia site, but I don't think I'm organized enough to use that. I have plans, and I know some of the plants I have, but for the most part, i just do what I like and what looks good. I don't keep records. But I'm way more than willing to take a look at all you guys do there.
lvtgrdn: With still 8" of snow on the ground and temps in single digits in NE Ohio, about all I can do is dream right now. Luckily I've got the basement plant lab all fixed up (and blogged) so I'm ready to start seeds: little magic in little packs... :-)
It's not a blog, as in I don't do any write-ups or other text-based entries. But I'll take periodic photos of my yard and upload them to my website. This is mostly a way for me to track my garden's progress. After each photo is uploaded I'll add a caption under each thumbnail with the date the photo was taken. Plus maybe a 1 sentence comment.
Otherwise I don't have much to say and a gardening blog by me would get pretty boring.

(((Cross posted this on the 'Conversations' side yesterday))
I've been thinking about starting a garden blog lately. Not sure if I will actually do it or not, still pondering that one! I'm pretty ignorant about the ways of blogging though...
I did get some of my questions answered on conversations, except for the one I am having the most trouble figuring out, how to manage pictures.
I have ALL my pics on Photobucket. Shall we say hundreds? I constantly upload pics to certain albums (such as one for Perennials, organized alphabetically to coincide with my personal plant records etc), delete old pics and such. Trouble is the html links all get broken when I do this. How do you guys manage this problem? I would hate to forget, shuffle things around and then end up with blank pics on my blog that I would have to go back and fix later. I don't want to have a secondary hosting site- I would prefer it all on my current PB account if possible. As I said, I am challenged in this area, lol. Only way I could figure of doing it is to create a separate album for blog post pics on PB, and then sub-albums for each of my separate posts from there. I could copy the pics from my other albums and move the copy to the sub-album so the link will never be broken to the blog and I could still move or delete the originals (in the original album) as I liked. What do you think? Or is there a simpler way of doing it I have yet to think of?
Thanks for any tips you can give!
I am an avid blogger and started a gardening blog three years ago so that I could share my love and knowledge of gardening with others. I haven't been on this site for a while but was searching for more garden blogs to read along with my already favorites and ran across this great link. Blogging as been such a wonderful experience and I find it hard to believe that I am already approaching my 100th post. I will definitely be bookmarking this link-thank you!

Cherry Tree Help.
I bought a van cherry last year. It has leaves on it but over the last few months the leaves have died off the top and now the leaves on the lower part of the tree are starting to die as well. All of our other trees have done well but our Van Cherry seems to be sick. Anyone have any advice? Thank you.
Well, it could be any number of things, Brian. If you could post photos, that would help a lot. Take some of the tree, the leaves, and the roots and soil/planting area. You can upload the photos to photobucket.com, then, simply copy the HTML code (NOT the URL, but float your mouse over the photo and you'll get a pop up box that allows you to select different code strings. Select the HTML code and just click in that box and it will then copy the HTML code to your Windows clipboard. You can then paste it right into the body of your message. You can do this repeatedly for all your photos. You'll know you've done it correctly because all your photos will then appear right in your message when you click "Preview Message". That helps us not to have to go to some other place to see your photos, but see them right in your message, much easier.

One of the smartest things that consumers can do when buying any product online is to make sure that they only purchase quality products from legitimate online sellers. This allows them to use or consume safe products as well as get the most out of every cent that they spend. Those who would like to know more about a certain product such as an audio gear for their recording studio can read reviews, visit legitimate websites or see MF to find out more about most of the audio and video gears and equipment that are out in the market today. This will allow them to make informed decisions about which ones to buy.

A pair of Prince George's County tennis players recorded significant firsts Friday on a hot afternoon at the University of Maryland, College Park's tennis courts in the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association state tournament.
Charles H. Flowers High School senior Myron Davis reached the state semifinals in boys' singles for the first time during his four-year tenure, while Surrattsville's Cierra Plummer became the first player from the school to win a match in the state tournament. Plummer beat Tuscarora's Ana Chernova, 6-2, 6-0 in the first round for the historic win.
"To get this far my first time, I was in shock. When I got to regionals, I didn't know what to expect and I pulled it out there. Then I came here and I was like 'wow,'" Plummer said.
Plummer lost to the top-seeded singles player in the second round, however, falling 6-2, 6-2 to Paige Olson from Century. Plummer said she faced Olson four times in U.S. Tennis Association play and beat her three consecutive times before losing Friday.
"I went up there and told myself that I needed to stay positive because my temper gets the best of me sometimes. I said, 'Stay positive.' My serve was off, everything was off. I tried to stay composed," Plummer said.
The junior with a powerful forehand said she's already excited for her senior season and hopes to go even further in the state tournament next year. She played with consistency, but Olson was too technically sound, at least on this Friday.
"I saw a lot of toughness, I saw a lot of heart. I saw a young lady that carries herself with character and poise," Surrattsville coach Mario Newman said. "She's going to continue to get better, continue to improve. The bar has been raised a little further. She's set a higher standard for herself and going into next year expectations will remain high."
Another Prince George's County player with already-high expectations is Davis, who entered boys' singles play as the fourth overall seed. The 5-foot-5 speedster outlasted Severna Park's Alex Cauneac in a marathon first-round matchup that took roughly an hour and a half to complete. The pair traded beautiful shots and both made their fair share of mistakes and the first set went to a tiebreaker. There, Davis, who frequently pulled his white shirt over his head after a bad shot or mishit, stroked enough winners to take the tiebreaker, 8-6. He then put Cauneac away, 6-3, to win in straight sets.
"It was really important for me to get that because that boosted my confidence and I guess it took a little from him. Going into the second set, I was confident I could take the match," Davis said.
In the second round, Davis appeared a lot more comfortable (on the court at least, the sun still was brutal and he changed shirts after the first set of his first match) as he beat Towson's Jack Chalmers, 6-1, 6-3.
"I was kind of tired from my first match and my legs were kind of tight. I was trying to relax as much as possible and not do too much. I noticed from the beginning, he was a bit inconsistent. If he keeps making mistakes, you might as well keep going back to it," Davis said.
Fairly frequently Davis was called for a foot fault, which appeared to throw him off his service game a bit. Still, it wasn't bad enough to prevent Davis from being the only player from Prince George's County who will return to play Saturday. He'll face top seed Mateo Cevalles from Thomas S. Wootton at 10 a.m.
"Hydrating during the match helped. I was tired, but I think it helped I was drinking a lot of water," said Davis, who's bound for Howard University next year. "I'm going to take an Epson salt bath when I get home and ask my mom for a massage and be ready for [Saturday]."
Added Rob Vinson, his coach: "He was the No. 2 seed last year and lost in the quarterfinals. This year, he fought through it. It's a big accomplishment not just for the school, but for the county as a whole."
Elsewhere in the county, the only other players to win a first-round match were Bowie's mixed doubles pair of Brittany Simmons and Alexander Stevenson. They beat Glenelg's Lu-Fang Hung and Fa-Yueh Hung, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 before losing to a duo from Hagerstown in the second round. Eleanor Roosevelt had three doubles teams and two individuals play Friday, but none advanced beyond the first round. Sophomore boys' singles competitor Vijay Golla gave Leonardtown's Robert Renfrow a solid match, but ended up losing, 6-3, 6-1.
"We had some good rallies. I felt like I could have played him better, but I'm happy with the way I played," Golla said. "Overall, I feel like we had a good season as a team."

The Buzz: Leland Yee promises to fight corruption in ballot statement
Arriving now in the mailboxes of more than 10.6 million California voter households: Sen. Leland Yee's pledge to fight corruption.
Yee, indicted earlier this month on corruption and conspiracy charges, paid $6,250 for a statement touting his secretary of state candidacy in the voter information guides that began going out Thursday for the June 3 primary.
Yee withdrew from the race following his March 26 arrest – after he had already qualified for the ballot. The San Francisco Democrat's name will be among voters' eight choices for the state's top elections post.
In his candidate statement, Yee plugs his legislation that legalized online voter registration and includes a link to a still-active Yee website, itsyourcalifornia.org, allowing people to register. He also notes that he possesses a "common sense law enforcement record."
"Under the Constitution, the Secretary of State's job is to empower Californians to govern California, to guarantee fair elections, expose special interests, and prevent corruption," Yee concludes. "I am the Democrat who will represent everyone. I hope to be your Secretary of State."

Student leaders from high school Gay-Straight Alliance clubs across the state are at the Capitol for Queer Youth Advocacy Day, pushing for greater school safety for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.

Students want schools to develop anti-bullying policies and to implement legislation allowing transgender students to access school facilities corresponding with their gender identity.

Aussie movie hunk Hugh Jackman has been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
After agonising over a list of eligible, high profile film stars, musicians and athletes, editors at the magazine named the 40-year-old its number one of 2008.
Jackman succeeds last year's (07) top man Matt Damon, and George Clooney who took the title the year before (06).
In a special edition of the weekly magazine, there were honourable mentions for handsome contenders Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Seal, Robert Downey Jr., Will Smith, Christian Bale and David Beckham.
Potential future title holders Kevin Jonas, Bow Wow and Jessie MCCarthy were also mentioned among People's Men of the Year.
Meanwhile, Jackman has responded modestly to news of his sexy status: "My wife (Deborra-Lee Furness) said, 'I could have told them that two years ago,' Then she said, 'Obviously Brad Pitt wasn't available this year.'"
