- An empty pizza box - Bags of chips, gum, condoms, Advil – whatever small items you would find at your local bodega. Feel free to use healthier options too! - Safety pins - A printer (or really good handwriting/drawing skills) - Recycled/scrap paper - A black top and pants - Glue - A marker or pen - Xacto knife or safety blade (please be careful and make sure children do not handle sharp objects)
Step 1:
Using a marker or pen, draw an oval on top of the pizza box that is about the size of your head. If you aren't sure how big your head is, you can use one of your hats as a guide.
Step 2:
Using a safety blade, cut along the oval and remove it. Then use the marker to draw another, slightly smaller oval on the opposite side of the box. Cut that out too. The resulting holes will serve as the space your head will go (basically like a hat).

For the EVE VS STO debat consider this....

Really... if you all want to go play Eve... please just go play Eve. Sometimes companies like to make a different gaming experience for people.
Here is what i did like about EVE. The music, the vastness of space, and lots of different ships.
I did not however like that when you skilled up, it took for a very long, time and essentially you could say "i am going to skill this up" then log off and play something else. Travel was kind of boring... at first i thought "this is cool it takes me 20 minutes to get to my quest? right? Well, i could go make a sandwich"
The combat seemed like it could be more fun... but really... it was lack luster to me... this is simply my opnion.... and i REALLY hated that i was stuck in my ship all the time.
Also, i found the playerbase very unhelpful, and not welcoming at all.
STO does things a lot different... Is this bad? Why should it be... I wonder if EVE players bashed SWG when Jump to Lightspeed came out? So basically, if anything happens in space, EVE players jump in and tell you their space is better than your space.
Just realize that Cryptic did not sit around and say "hey guys, lets make eve but with star trek ships!" if that was the case, then they did infact fail terribly.... But for that i am glad.... glad they had some original ideas, and shook it up a bit.

Tim McGraw: The Billboard Cover Story
By Ray Waddell, Nashville
New year, new label, new album -- McGraw charges back with "Two Lanes of Freedom."
Seated inconspicuously in a corner booth at Nashville's Sportsman's Grill less than a week before Christmas, Tim McGraw seems to have found a little peace on earth.
Professionally, at least (though he doesn't make that distinction), McGraw says that "the last five or six years have probably been the toughest years of my life." After an acrimonious split from Curb Records, his label home for the first 20 years of his career, McGraw will release his first record on Big Machine on Feb. 5, Two Lanes of Freedom. The title comes from an anthemic track on the record, and freedom-and acceleration-are prevailing themes on a set that finds McGraw and longtime producer Byron Gallimore delivering a sonically ambitious collection of songs that is equal parts fun, romance and big-picture vignettes.
BUY THIS ISSUE: Tim McGraw, Josh Groban, Adele + More
The long and exhaustively covered legal wrangling between McGraw and Curb hit a milestone last September when the Court of Appeals of Tennessee in Nashville upheld an earlier ruling that denied Curb Records a preliminary injunction to prevent McGraw from signing with another record company. While certain legal issues are still to be determined regarding breach-of-contract suits and countersuits, Team McGraw is looking forward, though McGraw admits the scars of the split are still fresh. For example, he uses the term "cock-blocked" in describing his final years with the label, as he watched a bevy of young male country artists find success on a stylistic bedrock in many ways pioneered by McGraw, who was burning to take his music to new heights.
"They hurt my career," he says of his previous label. "I felt like I was at the top of my game, and to not be able to get to the places I wanted to be ... it was really hard to sit back, with me being competitive. Nothing against any other artists-I love success for anybody. I always say, 'I want everybody to do great. I just want to do better.' Just watching all the things that are going on and to have to sit on the sidelines, it's been tough."
This pre-holiday conversation doesn't look back for long, but rather teems with optimism from McGraw about what this new era will hold. "It's like I put it in a different gear now," he says. "I really feel like I'm only about 35% into my career. There's so much more ahead of me, musically and everything else. It feels like the clouds have parted and now I can find my lane and press the gas."
Consider gas pressed. The album, produced by McGraw and Gallimore, is loaded with the hallmarks of the pair's past successes while venturing into new sonic territory. McGraw's musical instincts have proved savvy. He's charted 68 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs tally, including 24 No. 1s. He has had 13 No. 1s on Top Country Albums and has sold 41 million albums in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, eighth-most among all acts in the SoundScan era.
Such a track record made McGraw an appealing prospect as a free agent. "The marketplace was very open to Tim," says Coran Capshaw, McGraw's manager since 2009 and founder/owner of Red Light Management. "Tim was looking for a place he felt truly would be his partner, and the foundation of this business relationship [with Big Machine] is a partnership."
Big Machine head Scott Borchetta "leads a tight, smart, efficient, entrepreneurial operation," Capshaw says. "As we were approaching the launch of this album, we learned a lot about the strength of the team he has assembled over there. And great relationships at country radio are paramount to Tim, and Big Machine really offers that."
For his part, Borchetta says McGraw is perfectly positioned for another career uptick. "Here's a guy who's come through everything he's had to deal with who has an open lane, no pun on the title of Two Lanes of Freedom," he says. "The fans are going to absolutely freak out. He's fully engaged, and there's a ton of great music and live energy left in Tim McGraw, so it's a fantastic time to be working with him. There's times I sit back and think, 'Wow, Tim McGraw's on Big Machine. How cool is that?'"
Asked what was appealing about Big Machine and Borchetta's team, McGraw doesn't hesitate. "It's not a long answer," he says. "I wanted to go someplace where there's a freshness and energy, and Scott's got that energy. Anything's possible, there's no rules, and I feel like I made my career that way. Had I known the rules, I wouldn't make records the way I make records. I've got all the freedom I want. It's a partnership."

Gay former Doctor Who producer accused of sexually abusing male fans

Reader comments
Oh brother… can't people keep this thing in the privacy of their home..
JN-T, like a lot of ego-maniacs, was a letch for sure. Anyone even remotely connected with Dr Who in that era knew that much. But an abuser? I'd never have thought that of him.
Not say he didn't, and I feel sorry for anyone who was on the receiving end of such abuse if it did indeed happen. But, seems out of character.
A reminder – all this is based on an interview given to another magazine, and rehashed in the most sensationalist manner possible by one of the lowest gutter rags. We should wait and read the actual book this is all coming from before rushing to judge.
I'll wait for the report and evidence first, especially as he's not alive to defend himself.
The pathetic imagination that people over 16 and under 21 didn't have sex, regardless of the law, is laughable. I had sex under the age of 21 plenty of times, so the age-of-consent nonsense from back then, when it was unequal, is just that.
The only evidence so far seems to be a 17 year old saying someone chatted him up.
Quite. The modern age of consent is 16. To imply paedophilia, as the Mirror seemed to be doing on the basis of the above info yesterday, is appalling.
Tabloid newspapers that used to salivate over 16 yo girls are in no position to lecture gay men on fancying legal guys in their late teens.
Why this latest fad of making allegations against dead people? It's for the money.
There should be no "investigation" and the BBC should tell the complainant they've left it too late and to go away.

It's paramount that this endeavor not fail. We need all teams to focus on the tasks at hand go create an environment conducive for business to business relationships. I spearheaded our Service Oriented cost savings initiative starting from the top down using synrgies afforded by hiring the best of the best to reduce dependence on legacy systems. Using off the shelf products is not a viable option.
Just memorise all these and mix them up as you see fit:
I tried that, but apparently they're better at it than I am... my proposal got rejected for not supporting the datamatrix foo buffer 2.0 cloud feature-rich zero-management extranet interface. The work order was to get a replacement power cord... the cleaning people let a vaccum cleaner chew on the last one...
You didn't capitalize it correctly. That's the kiss of death.
was that just another pop-psych regurgitation of 'Primate Power: use these hackneyed verbal tricks to pretend that you are the monkey with the biggest cock in the room!' as seen far too often in the various 'self-help for the painfully mediocre' columns that run in various media?

A portable gas sensor based on cataluminescence.
Summary of "A portable gas sensor based on cataluminescence."
We describe a portable gas sensor based on cataluminescence. Miniaturization of the gas sensor was achieved by using a miniature photomultiplier tube, a miniature gas pump and a simple light seal. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) was considered as the evaluation criteria for the design and testing of the sensor. The main source of noise was from thermal background. Optimal working temperature and flow rate were determined experimentally from the viewpoint of improvement in SNR. A series of parameters related to analytical performance was estimated. The limitation of detection of the sensor was 7 ppm (SNR = 3) for ethanol and 10 ppm (SNR = 3) for hydrogen sulphide. Zirconia and barium carbonate were respectively selected as nano-sized catalysts for ethanol and hydrogen sulphide. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I've got to get Dan off to work, and then find something for Stella to do today so she doesn't interrupt my mid-morning nap (which is NOT to be confused with my morning nap OR my late-morning nap!), so I will talk with you all later.
Everyone have a safe, happy day!
And an update on the clickable tracking links :)

And an update to the map. 9 of the 11 tracking numbers have been accepted by USPS. Still waiting for Kathy to get hers out the door, and I don't know if Mark's has been mailed yet.
Sorry the symbols and colors changed. That happened when I added the names.
Now I've dallied here too long, and I'll probably be late to meed my associates this morning. Oh, well, they can't go far without me - I have the keys to the rental car!
If I had any influence over Bunny, her eldest would be an only child!! Not that she does not grow beautiful little ones but I could not handle the brood she created. She is much more adventuresome than I could ever be. Thank God for our bunny even if she does seem to jump to conclusions!!
Wow, Denise! Your box seems to be the only one that's moved anywhere. But I shouldn't be surprised - your April box did get to me in ONE DAY.
Big thanks to Kathy for posting those links. It sure makes tracking easier.
I want to update the map, but I'd love to have more boxes to add to it - get those boxes out and DC numbers posted, garden swappers! Let's see lots of lines cris-crossing the USofA!
Denise's line is so pretty, I can't resist posting the map again, while I wait for the USPS to update everyone else's tracking.
(If anyone thinks the joy of clicking on those tracking numbers is spoiled by me posting this map, just let me know and I'll stop!)
To answer Denise/antiqueorchid's question, the 3 prizes were to go to the first three people who sent out their boxes. I just checked the first thread to make sure, and the first three people who posted their delivery confirmation numbers with sent boxes were... (drum roll please)
CONGRATULATIONS YOU THREE!!! You'll be receiving something in the mail from me this month. And no, it will not be used kitty litter!
p.s. Isn't it great to see so many flying boxes??? Here's what it looks like behind the scenes at the post office, according to Dan anyway...
I protest the contest winners! This contest is rigged for the cats! I have to admit, I am not a cat. For years, my nemesis has been chasing me.
If you look back at the thread, Bunny was the first to post then I flew over here and typed mine in. I had to catch stitch first and shove him in the box!
So much for being under cover in this swap. I guess I am now open season for the rest of you!
My box went out monday confirmation # 03082040000082265909. hopefully will arrive at its destination tomorrow, hope my person likes it. Dan, which of the flying monkeys is you ? Sakura, love the map, you are talented. bunny don't get too anxious. you get dh to comfort you and we all know what happens then. watching for my box. carol
I told myself I wasn't going to udpate the map until my parcel moved - but I got tired of waiting. And there's some good movement of OTHER packages. Thanks to Carol, I had to expand the coverage of the map.
Well, it's obvious neither Denise's nor Melissa's box is hearding in my direction. But what about Karen's? (please, please, pretty please?)
And if you want to know who actually mailed boxes first (as opposed to being on line to post confirmation numbers), I'll refer to my trusty data I've captured for map-making (I did mention my geekiness, right?)
In order of post office acceptance (of those DC#s that have been posted):
CA 0743 4-May
Karen (tie) 0917 4-May
Melissa (tie) 0917 4-May
Just stirring the pot here (doesn't really matter to me whether you go by posting or mailing, I'm in either way).
Off to click Kathy's links again....
First of all, I LOVE THE MAP!!!
2nd of all, I'm gonna really throw you guys a loop, and tell you, I mailed my package off today.
Conf# 0306 2400 0003 0183 3483
And 3rd, I forgot one of the most important things in my package before I mailed it. :(
The chocolate!!!! I had candy, but forgot to put it in.
Mark, having your package ready to go isn't the same as having sent it, even if you did have the dc# on it. Remember, the prizes were to go to those who sent first, not those who were ready to send, silly dog-lover!
And, as sometimes happens in the sportsworld, the winners were announced, but the photo-finish is what we have to bow down to. After consulting with the USPS, the line-up of winners is now officially... Cheryl, Karen, and Melissa. Sorry Linda! Now, as a consolation prize for Linda, she will be receiving a special day of sunshine, breezes, and a soothing cup of tea with a plate of brownies just for her. Enjoy them Linda! Cheryl, Karen, and Melissa will be receiving their mystery prizes in the mail sometime this month. (Now, where DID Dan put those addresses???)
Have a good day everyone, with plenty of naps to enjoy! And yes Mark, you're forgiven for being a dog-lover and are welcome to take those catnaps too! For now, anyway.
Purrs & Bellyrubs!
Well, my box should have went out this morning. I was planning to finish it yesterday afternoon and have it ready for Cliff to take to work with him this morning.
However, when I came back in here to work on finishing it, I checked my email. In it I found a wonderful little email from the company that I ordered my patio set from telling me that they were crediting me for my return. What return, I asked myself. I never received the table! The table that I have been waiting for almost three weeks to arrive. The table that goes with the 6 assembled chairs that are and have been, sitting out under my gazebo for almost three weeks, looking very sad and lonely. The table that I had intended to use this weekend to entertain family and friends for Mother's Day. The table that is the part of the set that Cliff and the kids got me for Mother's Day, so that after the surgery, there will be something that first month in my backyard that I can completely enjoy. The table that I have been watching for so eagerly to arrive because we were planning to use it this weekend in the last family holiday I am going to get to enjoy before my surgery and the two youngest boys will be gone for a month because I won't be able to care for them in that first month after the surgery. The table to the set that we'd seen in the Wal~Mart I worked at, tried out to see how well I could get up and down from the chairs, went home to think about for 2 days, then went back to buy and it had sold, and Karen didn't know when they would get another one in.So, we decided to have it delivered to the house because Wal~Mart.com had it in stock.
Can you tell I'm just a little upset? Ohhh, well, it gets better! I finally called the Wal~Mart I worked at until this thing with my back flared up in January to get the number for Wal~Mart.com because there is NO customer service number anywhere on the website. After they tracked that number down for me, I called them. I was told that the table had been returned to them for damage during shipping. Then, that they could not order the table to be re-shipped separately from the chairs. REally?! Because I know it does ship separately in two boxes because I have the chairs outside in my gazebo right now! Well, yes, it ships in two separate boxes, but cannot be ordered separately. We will have to have UPS pick up the chairs and return those, we'll go ahead and refund the half for the table to your credit card, then once we get the chairs, we'll credit that half. The chairs? So you're telling me I have to disassemble the chairs that have been on my gazebo for three weeks, box them and wait for UPS to pick them up? The box which we threw away because it was so damaged in shipping that we were worried that they were damaged- the box that was more shipping tape than cardboard? Well, if you can't find a free box, we can credit you for up to $15 to purchase another box to pack them in. Then, once we have everything back and everything has been credited back to your card, we can help you reorder the set, which is out of stock online at the moment, and then we will credit your account for the cost to ship it, waiving that shipping fee for you. No, we can't expedite the shipping for you, even though we know it's really been a huge inconvenience to you and no one should have to deal with this. No, if you happen to find that your local store has it in stock again, then we can't issue a store credit towards it because the .com area and the stores are under the same umbrella but essentially different divisions with different policies. They can accept returns ordered from the .com department, but we can't issues a credit or anything like that to use in the store for something like this. So you would have to fully purchase it at their price.
Alright, that sounds really harsh, and the young woman who was assisting me on the phone was very sympathetic and felt that it should be expedited for free as well as waiving the shipping costs, but her supervisors said no. She was very helpful and spent two hours with me on the phone trying to find more that she could do to make this better. To say that I am upset and disappointed is mild. I was expecting to see the table today at the latest. We ordered that particular set because the chairs are very well made and were very easy for me to get in and out of right now with as badly as I'm hurting, so we figured that I would still be able to enjoy them after the surgery and be able to sit out there and enjoy my backyard while recovering. So, I was dealing with that all afternoon, then had to call Cliff and tell him.
The only good note is, that I called the stored I worked at and they do actually have it in stock right now. So, we're going to package up the chairs for this set and have them ready for UPS to pick up, or perhaps we'll just leave the not assembled ones in the box and let UPS pick that up, and go ahead and purchase the set at the local store and still be able to have it for this weekend.
So, that's my reason for not mailing out today, as planned. I am going to finish my box today and have it ready and Cliff will run it to the PO tomorrow while he's off work. I'm really sorry about this, but I was so upset over the table, I know, kind of silly, but at the same time not, then Cliff and I discussing the problem and calling to see if the local store had it again, then cooking and homework with the boys. The evening was gone before I knew it.
All that said and off my chest (and I do feel a little better now, but I'm still torn between being royally POed and crying when I think about it) here are the updated links :)

If I missed anyone, let me know :) CA, I think the map is great!
Kathy, girl, that is the STUPIDEST thing I believe I've ever heard! I am sooo sorry for all the crap they are giving you.
You're a better person than I am hon, cause in that 2 hour phone call, I'd have wound up giving someone a very impolite piece of my mind.
PS - Go Attack Bunny! :)
Hey Kathy;
I would not box up the chairs, I would let the UPS guy do it. That is certainly not your problem. And if you used a credit card, all you need to do is call the credit card company and tell them the story. They will credit Walmart.com for the missing table.
After you have your new set all organized, I would go into action, try the Better Business Bureau also, Walmart is not exempt.
This can be your mission for your pre op and post op to keep your mind off your aches and pains. Nothing like a good fight to distract one from every day woes.
Sorry for the hassle but make it work for you.
Kathy, that is awful! I'm sorry you're having such a day.
I've come down with a cold/fever, and feel miserable. I've spent the morning in bed, feeling a tad sorry for myself, and THEN the mailman came!! :) I received my package from Joseph!!
He sent me:
A very pretty and healthy division of Hosta
The next I may need help on, is it a Hen & Chick division? I don't have anything like it, and love it!
Mexican Shellflower bulbs, Tigridia mix..Very Pretty!
2 Virginia Bluebells..Beautiful!
2 Daylily 'Frans Hals' Love these too!
Brug Seeds, asst. Hybrid
Asst. seeds, Zinnia, Marigold, Celosia, & Helichrysum
Plant Tags,
Flexible Garden Ties (need these!)
Butterfly Hummingbird Feeder that suctions to the window! Cool!!
And some treats! 2 bags of Starburst Gummi Bursts (I was very selfish, ate them myself)
And some beef flavored dog treats for Ladybird. She loved them!
Thank You SOOO much Joseph! I love everything!!
It sure has been fun watching the boxes move! Thanks for hosting the swap, Bump! I'm going to keep following everyones boxes yet. And I'm excited to have been one of the first 3 to have my box sent! You promise no kitty litter?? lol.
Have a great day everyone! I'm going to lay down again for a bit. Will probably go see the Dr. this afternoon. Need to know what to tell my daycare families, otherwise I'd just tough it out.
:0) Karen
That table and chair story is just awfull......so sorry that is happening to you Kathy. I didn't notice my package on your list...had published my confirmation number for mine mailed on Monday on the previous thread, but here it is again: 0308 3390 0001 7025 7419. Hope it is almost to it's new home. Yea!!!
Yeah, it really sucks and I'm still steaming over it. I fully intend to raise all kinds of chaos about this. After a month of waiting, it's really rather sad that this was how we were treated.
Excellent box Joseph and Karen! You did a wonderful job, Joseph!
I'm sorry I missed yours Pat, I'm still blaming things like that on the pain medications :P And Diene wanted me to go ahead and post hers, which she emailed to me privately, for reasons that will become apparent. So here's the latest clickable tracking list :)

Linda sent me:

And finished off with a lovely note on a really pretty card from linda telling me more about herself :)
Thank you so much, Linda! You made this last RR swap for me for several months very special! I'm gonna have the bratlings plant them all out this weekend, I'm hoping the daily great flood we're having lately will slack off so everything I have to plant out won't drown!
Kathy~ off to take a nap, hopefully!
I guess that potatoe bug missed the spray down! Ugh! Sorry about that.."L". I don't know much about the dogbane but I don't think it would do well here so I thought it might like your place better.."S"
I'm happy you liked everything and it made your day a little better...now..go munch on those snickers!
Well, I wondered about that box Denise sent that was sitting on the map in Memphis just a couple of hours away and sure enough! My mail lady brought to me right in the middle of one of todays downpours!YEAH!!!

Denise, it was all just wonderful!! All the plants look so healthy and green and I just hope it hurries up and dries out enough for me to plant them this weekend!
Thanks again soooo much!
Time to update the map with deliveries! I think IÂve captured everyone who posted DC#s that the USPS recognizes. Kathy we know hasnÂt mailed yet (so sorry to hear about your table troubles), Deb and Heather have posted DC#s, but they donÂt show on the tracker (DebÂs may just not be showing yet, sometimes it takes until evening. Heather, you may want to confirm you posted the correct number). Only Allison has not posted a DC# yet.
Has anyone else noticed that DanÂs parcel is the only one that hasnÂt moved anywhere? Now, I donÂt know him well, but from what IÂve read on these swap threads, he can be a bit of a prankster. Being the mailman that he is, does anyone else think he scanned a dummy DC slip into the system and then tossed it? I think the real box is traveling under a secret DC#. Or maybe IÂm just paranoid.
I drew white circles around the destinations of the boxes that have been received. Three that were posted in this thread and one that tracking says was delivered.
I havenÂt drawn all the lines, because I donÂt want to give two much away. So look closely at the icons near your house. Is there a box in your neighborhood? My box (purple pushpin) is awfully close to someone  can you find it? (BTW, I removed my name from the map, because the name tag was covering up a key box location)
I donÂt see any boxes heading in my direction :(
Hi Guys!!
I think this has been the funnest (is that a word?)swap ever! I wasn't expecting anything today, but to my surprise I GOT A BOX!!!
Carol sent me 2 mega packs of bulbs with 44 liatris bulbs (my butterflies thank you), 6 pink begonias (loooooove begonias!) 30 limelight glads and 40 red king croscomia (looooove croscomias!) Also a hummingbird feeder (which is full of sugar water and hanging already)along with hummer syrup, a windchime in the shape of a watering can (looove it) 3 packs of plant markers, a really cute gnome riding a frog pot sitter and to keep my hands soft, some really nice smelling lotion.
Thank you sooooooo much Carol!! I loved it all and as soon as the rain stops everything is going in the ground!
Bump (and Dan) it's been such a fun swap, thanks for hosting!
Off to play in the dirt!!!
I was so excited about the bulbs that I forgot to list the seeds :0)
forget me nots
shrub rose
columbine varigated leaves
cactus mix
lupine russell's mix
hummer wildflower mix
carnations chabaud mix
chinese lanters
columbine drangonfly mix
sweet pea mix
Thank you so much Carol!!
CA, that's a really cool map, keep up the good work!!
ok here goes DC for #2
0103 8555 7497 9543 8467
yes I checked the dc for box #1 it is the right number =(
sadly if it doesn't get scanned along the way it will keep on saying that message even though I handed the box to the lady instead of dropping it into the box hoping she would scan it.
Boxes may not get scanned sometimes between where they were mailed, and where they are going. I don't know why this is, but it does happen.
Of course, being the mailman that I am, perhaps I attached a note to the box asking for it to not be scanned until it was delivered.
Now, this isn't what I did, but I think it's great this time. Now NO ONE will be expecting my box and the recipient will be even more surprised when it arrives!
Great job on the maps! I think they really add to all the excitement, don't you?
G'nite, I'm going to bed. Hauling rocks last evening for a few hours seems to have made me more tired than I realized.
A great box arrived from Sakura today.
dark purple and red and yellow heirloom iris
arabian knight dahlia
liatris spicata
sedum terantim
hyacinth bluebell
gummy worms
dark chocolate bar dh absconded with
black currant tea
rain gauge
cumin, flax and luffa seeds
thankyou Sakura, I love my box it is pouring here and I put out 75 floral arrangements today, so will try to plant tomorrow
Hello People! As far as I can tell, all but one of the boxes have been sent out, and that's just fantastic! The deadline for mail-out is Saturday, and we've got packages criss-crossing this great nation of ours already. How cool is that? (to borrow a phrase from Dan) And, it looks like there may be a package in the mail for me to inspect today once Dan opens it! Meow!
Last night Dan worked indoors, watering the plants and getting them ready to move outdoors. I helped him a little, telling him which ones were ready, which ones needed a little more water, etc. The funny thing is though, I don't think he really appreciated my help. He kept telling me to get out of the way, back off, and sometimes even lifted me off of the shelves and put me on the floor. Now, what kind of gratitude is that? Here I am, offering my expertise, and he keep moving me out of the way. Thankfully, Stella came along and helped me straighten him out. For about two minutes. Then we were put into the bedroom and locked in for about another half-hour. We kept hearing noises like running water and things being moved around, and I kept scratching at the door to let Dan know he'd locked us in, but he didn't let us out. Once he did finally open the door, we rushed right out and inspected everything but the plants. I couldn't get to those because the vinyl was back on the front of his greenhouses. What a pity!
We forgave him though. Eventually. Actually, just in time to snuggle up to him when he was in bed.
Everyone have a great day!
And, for those of you who receive boxes today, keep posting and keep enjoying!
It's been a lot of fun hosting this for you all!
Great boxes everyone! I'm going to update the clickable tracking links here shortly, but I'm a little confused... not uncommon :P... Heather has two boxes?
Oh, and my local store did have my patio set in stock, so we went ahead and bought it there. We left the chairs boxed up and UPS can just pick that up rather than us disassembling the chairs we've had for three weeks. The have already completed the credit for the table, that half of the money is already back in my account. So, at the moment, we're only out the half for the chairs, but once they get those and get the credit through we'll actually be ahead. See, we won't be paying the shipping cost. Did all that sound confusing? So, I'm gonna take some pictures later, if it doesn't rain again. I'm so excited to have my new patio set!

There is a box in Saco, Maine that I hope has my name on it. My box was shipped on Monday, I just did not post until yesterday as I thought it would be delivered yesterday but apparently it decided to visit in a intermediary location for a day or two. Hopefully my box will arrive at it's destination today.
I will keep you informed about the anticipated arrival of the Saco box.
Karen's box arrived yesterday! I had a lot of fun going through it! I'm planting everything today, Thanks so much Karen for such a nice box!
Banana pup (I LOVE these! I haven't had one in a few years) the other one that I had grew from seed! I left it outside one Fall night and we had unexpected frost, so I lost it). Banana plants make really nice tropical houseplants!
Fernleaf peony (I've never had a fernleaf before, it arrived in really good condition, not a leaf broke!)
Heuchera, I love these too! Tracy (Tracyvine) sent me one last year, and it's my new fav plant!
Hosta "Blue boy" I've wanted this one for so long! I purchased one, but it turned out to be mislabeled, and never turned blue.
Iben's semp (I have to look this up)
Daylily "Woodside Ruby" (can't wait to see the bloom)
Daylily "Arctic Snow" (another daylily, I love them!)
L.A hybrid Lily bulb "Trinity" (love the foliage)
Seeds- Aquilegia "Ruby Port"
Asarina Erubescens
Larkspur "Splish Splash"
Sweet pea "Fragrant Ripples"
(I have to look all of these up) and will plant them ASAP!
Gloves and shovel too!
Thanks so much Karen! Going to play in the dirt today for at least an hour!
OOH - I'm clicking links to update the map - and I see there's a box in Virginia! I'm still in Milwaukee, waiting for my flight home. Looks like my first errand when I get home will be a trip to the PO to pick up my box. Yippee!
PS - I have to shut down the computer in about 3 minutes to get on the plane - so I probably won't get the map updated before I get home.
Deb, the plant you wanted to look up is Iberis sempervirens. I think I need to watch how I write, because I sent a division of this plant in another swap, and she too had to look up Iben's semp. lol Sorry for the confusion! I'm glad you like everything!
Have a great day everyone!!
I LOVED everything! I'm totally in love with the fernleaf peony! I've never seen one before! I can't believe how well the banana shipped too! Everything shipped perfectly! This has been one of my best swaps~ I'm so thrilled with everything!
Well I received not a small box but a large box from Joan, it had lots of great things in it, she packed it well but not tough enough for my mail carriers. Two of the things were broken, one not seriously and one beyond repair. It makes me soo mad that I am contemplating stopping swapping.
Well enough of that, let me tell you what I recieved;
First a great note from Joan telling me about her life then all of this:
A huge bag of seeds, I have them all written down but have no idea where I put the list so I will try to go from memory and refresh the list later.
Two types of peppers
Yellow beans
Autumn Beauty Sunflower
well I did not do well with these from memory so I will be back later to give you the complete list
Next were the plants:
Siberian Iris
Then there were the gardening aids: garden gloves, trowel, plant markers, peppermint lip balm
Next the garden decorations: A really nice wooden birdhouse, A wind sock, two chinese lanterns, a nice terracotta hanging sign and a really neat dream rock
I have been trying to post this for two hours, did I mention DH is home today. I need to go now but I will be back later.
Thank you very much Joan, it was great.
When the taxi let me off at my front door, I could see the package waiting for me! Saved me a trip to the PO, but Im not sure why it was left. Usually boxes sent with delivery confirmation require me to go pick them up. Im not complaining, though!
My box was from Heather, and was full of goodies
3 plants:
Virginia sweetspire (on my list!)
Thornless blackberry (on my list!)
Rudbeckia "goldsturm"
4 bulbs/roots:
Rattlesnake orchid
Red Trillium
Yellow Trillium
White trillium
(Ive wanted trilliums, even though theyre not on my list. Triple yippee!)
2 grow kits:
Sensitive plant
Norway spruce
5 seed packs:
Canterbury bells
Gold Rush Beans
Burgundy Gallardia
Purple basil
And in honor of Bumps hosting: Cat Grass
Heather also sent soil pellets for the seeds and plant tags for the seeds and roots.
Thanks, Heather, this was a great box! Now I need some dry weather to get all this planted. I have puddles in my yard, and it is still raining. There was thunder a few minutes ago.
When I got home I had about 15 minutes of sun to inspect my gardens. Everythings growing, especially the weeds! No flowers on the peas yet. 3 clematis blooming. TB Irises need another few days. Roses are lovely. Spanish bluebells are almost done. Seed starts are begging to be transplanted.
I had the map all updated until I just saw Mark's post. I'll add that movement and post in a munite.
I got a box from Dan today!! YAY!
He sent:
~White yarrow
~Purple french lilac

Thanks so much, Dan!! I'm fighting the kids for the popcorn, and they won't quit playing with the laughing bag. :O) Gypsy loves the pinecones, and wants me to plant that catgrass ASAP.
I'll get out in the yard later today, after the sun gets a bit lower....it's scorching without any shade! UGH!
Oh, and an ANT. I guess Dan thought we didn't grow 'em right here in Arkansas, so he sent one of the Michigan ones. LOL
(it's kinda on the puny side, if ya ask me.....!!) :P

Melissa, make sure you get some of that popcorn! Traverse City bills itself as the cherry capital of the world, and we have a HUGE festival every July. I went downtown last Friday night and found the store that sells the gourmet popcorn, and bought two bags. I ate the other one last night.
Now, let me tell you all about what happened to me today. Today we got absolutely slammed with mail and parcels at work, and by the time I put that last piece of junk mail in the last mailbox, I was tired and a bit "out of sorts" you might say. A back that's still sore from hauling field stone for the yard Tuesday night may have had something to do with this. So, I arrive home, and there's a flat rate box sitting beside my door. As I shut the car off and walked towards my front door, my mood started to lift. Hmmm, wonder what that is? Lo and behold, diene delayed posting her dc# and surprised me with my box! How cool is that? Pretty cool, I say! So, I open the door, say hello to the kids, then sit myself down at the kitchen table. Reach out, scratch a couple of furry heads. Open the box. I'm not sure how diene got all of it into that box, but she did. I know I can't fit it all back in.
Diene sent...
Herbal Foot Cream (this feels sooo good!)
Separate bags of toys for Stella and Bump (all of which are being tried out at this moment, they love the bag of catnip! lol)
Container of Shells and Sand (YAY!!! Sand dollars!!!)
Wagonload of free kittens (wooden desk decoration, cool!)
Wooden Cat Note-holder
A Brass-n-Colored Stone Hanging Decoration (have room for just 1 more outside on the porch awning, and now it's filled!)
Bag to hold gardening goodies (I'll put this to good use!)
Set of Fiskars Trowel and Handrake (can't find mine in the shed, so perfect timing on these!)
A note telling me how she got the name diene (it came from her sister when she was just 6 months old)
FOOD!!! (including the biscotti I'm about to finish right now) There's biscotti (for now anyway), flavored coffee, flavored tea, and flavored iced tea (these flavors are great!)
A "Grow Your Own Supermodel" (results may vary)
Seeds for...
fuschia astilbe
cream hollyhocks
allium (been wanting some of these)
japanese lilies
witch hazel (perfect for the Halloween garden!)
orange poppies (more for the Halloween garden!)
red astilbe
pink astilbe
Plants... (with plant markers, I might add)
Barbara Mitchell daylily
Variegated Hosta (almost bought some this past weekend)
Siberian Iris (been wanting this!)
A Mystery Plant (I like getting these!)
Red Bud Cherry Tree
And Phlox!
Not only did diene send stuff I wanted and had on my list, but she also sent stuff I didn't know I wanted, until now!
Diene, THANK YOU for such a great box! It was great, and made my day!
---and now, I've got to go get all of this in the ground---
Hey, Ya'll!
Sorry to be MIA! My stupid Internet went down Tuesday and we just got it back up. Yippee!
SO ... my DC # is 0308 2690 0000 3850 0763. That's the first box, LOL! I waited to see if the weather would cooperate so that I could dig up a few things, but it didn't. So the second box will go out on Monday. Didn't want my partner to have to wait for everything :)
AND ... my box from Bunny came! WOO HOO! Thanks so much!!! I did the happy dance all day long :)
I got 7 amazing iris -- Jessie's Song, Red at Night, Bewilderbeast, Cherry Garden, Honorable, New Snow, and Immortality -- a hoya, and an African violet! I also got a citronella candle, some chocolate tea (yum!) and a big thing of Liquifeed with a refill. What an awesome box. I know exactly where everything is going to go. Yippee!
Cheryl, I had to keep my mouth shut every time I wanted to post something It would have given it away that you live in the same state. LOL but the CAT'S out now. oh..mayday swap I was thinking MAYHEM lol. This was a fun swap! Can't wait to get my box!
Hey Dan;
I did not mean to send a mystery plant, what does it look like while I still remember what I dug up!!
Along those same lines, I cannot find the list I wrote from my huge box from Joan so I have the seed bag right here in front of me.
Since my memory is shot, I am going to list them all again:
Cleome Mix
Mignonette (no idea but will be checking it out when I finish)
Salvia Paradise
Autumn Beauty Sunflower
Chinese Lantern
Cherokee Wax Garden Bean
Grand Bell Pepper
Sweet Banana Pepper
Gourd Birdhouse
Black SD Simpson Lettuce
Thanks again Joan, now all I need is some sunshine.
I got my box from Mark today which was a great pick me up. I've been feeling really bummed with the health news I've received and have been moping around. I have to admit though that it was with great fear and trepidation that I opened it. I've read Mark's post on several of these swaps. I wasn't sure if something would jump out at me or if he had sent one of his science experiments gone wrong that would wrap its spiny tendrils around me and pull me back in the box never to be seen again! So I carefully cut the packing tape and slowly eased back the flaps to find a boxfull of all types of goodies! And the packing material he used was all different kinds of wrapped candies! There was a nice note telling me about all Mark. I found it most interesting. Here is everything else that was in the box:
leather pouch - made by Micah. Thank you Micah. I'll probably have to fight DH for that.
journal for gardening I needed a new one!
garden cultivator
drink mix packages
dried tomatoes from his garden
dried Granny Smith apples from his garden
lavender starting kit in a can
a mesh bag - great for protecting flower heads
cool garden gloves
hen and chicks starts - been wanting these
cinnamon candle
stevia plant
jiffy windowsill greenhouse
Dove dark chocolate bar
huge jaw breaker
blue seed potato - can't wait to start this
Dyntene Mints
seed envelopes with ants on them
lettuce Grand Rapids
lettuce Summer Glory
ornamental grass
holly - going to try again mine didn't grow last year
Rose of Sharon
Thank you so much Mark. It was a terrific box!
one more map before I head off to bed. I show four who have not received boxes (Heather, Joseph, Linda, and Mark) and four whose boxes have not been delivered (Kathy, Deb, Allison, and Becky). Correct?
And a question for Heather: one of the seed packs you sent is for "Gold Rush Beans". Are these wax beans (eat the pod) or white beans (eat just the bean)? I've found one of each with the name "Gold Rush". Just want to know what to expect.... Thanks again for a wonderful box! I've potted up the plants - I'll have to wait for things to dry out a bit before digging. Part of my yard has inches of standing water!
Mine is actually mailing today. Cliff had to come back to get it because he forgot it even after I reminded him this morning. It didn't make it yesterday, we had several things we had to finish yesterday while he was off. Poor guy, he never seems to get to rest and relax on his days off any more. But, it is on it's way today!
I'm going to try to take a picture of the new patio set under the gazebo later today, if it doesn't start pouring again the way it looks like it's going to. Yesterday was a rain free day and we actually saw this big yellow thing in the sky and it was very muggy and there was this warmth.... wonder what that thing was... and if it will come back. I kind of liked it and I think my plants did too.
The boys, hopefully, will be able to finish planting several plants in their garden that have been resting outside with some protection from the wind and rain. I've not been able to plant a thing since I received Nikki's box. We've had nothing but rain since then. So everything has been on hold waiting for the ground to dry a little so the new plants didn't drown. Thankfully, I don't think we've lost but a couple of marigolds, a couple of my variegated firespray tulips,a dusty miller or two. Not a whole lot considering how over saturated the ground here has been.
Does anyone want me to continue updating the clickable links? Should I just do the ones that haven't been delivered yet?
By the way, there have been some amazing boxes! Mark, you asked in the last thread, who was wanting a rooted Bleeding Heart, that was me :)
Denise, was that Sedum - Angelina from your garden? I would love to get a cutting of that. Joan, once it gets big enough, let me know if you'd like to work a trade for a cutting of it. A gold sedum would be so pretty! Heather and CA just one word - Trilliums *Swoon!* I am sooooo jealous!!! Diene and Dan, all those astilbes made me drool! I need to get some more, mine don't seem to have handled winter here very well. But they were rather young still when they got put in last year. Becky, let me know how the blue potato does, I've been thinking about trying it, but haven't quite worked myself up to it yet.
I'll post clickables for those that haven't been received yet a little later. Need to finish getting the bratlings off to school.
Yesterday was the first nice day in over a week. We did have a little rain early and then sun the rest of the day. So I was working outside till late. Anyway this is what you guys have been waiting to ooh and aah over.
1 pack of 2 bulbs-white daffodils-very neat looking
1 pack of 2 roots-red dahlias
Other stuff
a garden mushroom and attached gnome-It arrived broken:(
note pad
mini clip board
pack of pens-floral design
garden marker-"Gardeners Know the Best Dirt"
Thank you Pat:)
Oooh, look at all those purty lines!!
This is really fun, I like seeing all the surprises everyone is getting! :O)
Dan~ I got 3 bites of that popcorn! LOL Adora (the 3 yr old) ran off with it, and ate the entire bag. Darn kid. (good thing she's cute.... :P )
I was telling hubby about it, told him about being the cherry capitol and all that....he said "In Michigan?! Who'd have thunk it?" LOL
I guess that's just not the first place you think of when you think of cherries. :O)
Why didn't you tell me I had your location wrong on the map? I used the first place your box showed up, which apparently is not where you mailed it from...
I guess I have to redo the map. Maybe later - it's not currently raining, so I should be outside now.
I figured you put my name where the box landed first. It started in Randleman, NC. It hopped across the country in one day. Took a couple more days to get to the destination.
No box when I got home. I will be on a science club field trip all day at Carowinds. I guess if something shows up tomorrow, I will get it about midnight.
PS: I need to start the mad science lab going for next month's swap.... hmmmm... something botanical? Animalia? Protista? Fungi? Monera? maybe... a genetic blending of all the above???
Good morning!
I moved Mark, and updated box locations. I don't know what to say about mail service to western PA....
Now I have to go finish digging up plants so I can head out to my first MAG swap. Very exciting, and I'll get to meet Denise. (D, I have a hellebore with your name on it!) And for the second day in a row, I see sun! Happy weekend, everyone.
I got a box! I got a box! "jumping up and down"..and it's from Allison! (how's the sprout doing?)
Here's what she had in it:
a really nice pair of gardening gloves (nice fit too)
metal butterfly gardening stake (this will go in the back garden)
grow bug capsules (wonder if I can put this in the bathtub.."G")
garden claw (I love claws, they just get in there and rip stuff that needs ripped)
flexible garden tie (good for staking)
3 orange perfection phlox (these are gorgeous!)
20 mixed glads (I have a nice sunny spot for these)
sweet pepper seeds
red tomato seeds
yellow tomato seeds..yah! veggies
zinna envy (green is so cool)
shirley poppy falling in love (pretty)
zinna pinwheel mix (have I mentioned I LOVE zinnas?)
giant moonflower (scented for evening)
scarlett O'Hara morning glory (these go in the hummingbird garden)
purple prince zinna (nice color)
highlight hybrid zinna (these are a bright yellow and sorta look like a daisy)
Barlow mix columbine (did I mention I LOVE columbine.."L")
wildflower butterfly garden mix (need I say more?)
thanks Allison! I love my box and now I"ll have planting to do today!
Meow! We have just one more box out there, waiting to be delivered, which it should be on Monday. I want to thank you all for making this such a quick, easy swap to host!
(clapping paws)
You've all been terrific, and this swap went even better than I'd hoped! And all those pictures you shared! That was just too too cool!
(insert round of applause here)
Everyone have a great weekend!
-Bump, Dan, & Stella
Heather's Box#2 was waiting at my door when I got home this afternoon. The first box was enough, but Heather had to go and send more!
More seeds: Maltese Cross, Echinacea 'White Swan', Gaillardia 'Razzle Dazzle', Lavender, Mesclun mix.
And peat pellets and plant markers for each.

Heather, you shouldn't have, but thanks a bunch!

But I can't resist. They are so gosh darn cute, I have to share!
These little guys are hiding out in the honeysuckle bush in our front yard.
He's brand new- his brothers & sisters aren't even hatched yet!
I'll have to take a few more pics in a day or 2...when all these little fellas are hatched out!

Good Evening All;
Does that mean we are done? Wow this one did go quick. By the way Dan, I just realized that I sent you a sapling for the cherry tree but called it a redbud tree. I thought you might like to see what it's Mama looks like today.
Boy HNB, those pictures are amazing, do you know what kind of birds they are? Where are they that you can take those pictures? Your kids must be so excited, what a great thing.
Hope everyone had a great day, I finished planting the veggies we bought yesterday, I do much better with flats than from seed although I do have some seedlings to plant if they ever get big enough.
Then I went to see my parents and spent the afternoon with them. They are not aging well but I still love them.
Came home and worked outside until dark. It was sunny in the morning, rainy in the afternoon and sunny but very windy late afternoon.
Hope everyone had a great day.
Diene, thanks for the picture of the cherry tree! It's always nice to know what the plants are going to look like, isn't it? LOL!
We've got one more box out there, and I'm thinking it'll be delivered today, or tomorrow at the latest. Once Joe posts the contents of his box, I'll close this swap and we can all look for the June swap to be posted by Melissa. I'm looking forward to that one! She always makes it interesting!
Have a good Monday Everyone!
Diene~ They are sparrows- I saw the mom today. I thought they might be robins, because of the eggs....but the mom is definitely a sparrow. The nest is inside a honeysuckle bush along a fence in our yard. Every year we have several nests inside- but we've never found one this early. It's usually when the babies are big enough to make noise.
It was an awesome Mother's Day present, though. There is nothing more exciting than watching new life be brought into the world- no matter WHAT species it is! :O)
I'm getting things together for the June swap. I'll try to keep it tame....but ya just never know....
Hope all had a great weekend! Diene, sorry I didn't have any plants to send you, but my order came in from T&M, so you have a bubble envelope going out tomorrow with the seeds I ordered for you.
Bump, I really enjoyed your swap and thanks for being a great host!
It's still raining here. :(
I know it's been delivered this afternoon and I'm looking forward to seeing what he thought of my choices! I always get excited when a partner receives a box from me! It's almost as fun as receiving one myself! I'm going to go lie back down with this headache, I managed to pull something badly yesterday and have a horrible headache as well as tender muscles and spasms. I'll check back later to see if he's posted :)
Kathy's box was delivered to Joe's house at 2:30 today, so right now all we're waiting for is for Joe to come home from work, open up what I know is going to be a terrific box, and post it all here for us to enjoy with him.
Can't you just feel the anticipation!
And, do you all realize this means we did this in just one week? Is that some kind of record? Is it? Does anyone know?
-Dan & Bump(who is currently taking a nap)
Thanks Bump and Dan for a great time on this swap, so much fun, the guessing!! Sorry I haven't had much in the way of personal plants and seeds to trade....have had to rely on purchased things....but with all the generosity of the gardeners here and the inspiration of the script and pictures, I know soon I will be trading things from my renewed gardens! Thanks to all....Pat

The box was the exact width of the seed packs. So here are the items that were missed. Catnip, Dahlia,Four O'Clocks, Hollyhock, English Daisy, Foxglove, Johnny Jump Ups, and three types of M.G. Pat, Sorry I missed the seeds the first time. Thank you for them, looks like I will have plenty of seeds to plant for my winter sowing.

Stella, Dan, and I want to thank everyone who participated for getting those boxes out so quickly, sharing all of those pictures, and reporting the contents of the boxes so promptly! Special thanks go out to Cheryl and Kathy for keeping the dc#'s organized and drawing those pretty maps! (C, you sure that isn't string? Just checking.)
Don't forget to leave a note about the person who sent your box to you on the rate and review forum. I've provided a direct link to it below.

"My approach tends to be from experiments. I need the challenge. If I know how to do something well, there's no need to do it all the time because it becomes a little monotonous. So I like to find a challenge."
"Sam Ran Over Sand or Sand Ran Over Sam" (2004)
"'Sam Ran Over Sand or Sand Ran Over Sam.' The title? Dr. Seuss immediately comes to everybody's mind. Dr. Seuss is very playful with sounds of words as well as their meanings- the way words sound and play with each other internally is as important as what is being told. That resonates with my work: I'm as interested in formal play and how that intersects significance as in what things mean. So I do like that reference in the title. But it's also descriptive of something I am thinking about in my work generally- and in this work- about how things have character."

This year, the hour hand of the clock seemed to move like the minute hand and suddenly we were at LAB DAY West. It's the show that marks the end of show season and the show that used to be regional but this year drew attendees from 24 states and nine countries!
Though each of our shows has its own compelling personality, we love that our last one has that unmistakable, laid-back California vibe. The exhibit hall was flooded from early morning on; attendees came early, stayed all day and visited a lot giving us a chance to catch up with the very many friends we've made over the last...

20-Implant, Full Mouth Reconstruction: a Once-in-a-Career Opportunity
When Aaron Hoffman, Troy Gooden and Eric Gooden, Co-Owners of Sunflower Dental Studio in Topeka, KS, first saw the impressions for a 20-implant reconstruction, they thought it looked like something from a sci-fi movie. It was the largest case Hoffman had ever had the opportunity to work on during his 19-year career as a ceramist, and he couldn't wait to get started.
1 } The Restorative Challenge
The 80-year-old patient had tremendous decay and bruxing problems and the prognosis of his natural dentition was "hopeless," says his dentist, Dr. Guy Gross, New Horizons Dental Care, Salina, KS....

This profile was created in order to stay in touch with all its members as well as receive updates regarding the parties that we organize.
We organized the first private parties in 2004, mainly in the area of Athens as well as near coastal areas and, I might add, they all had great success.
In the last 7 years we have organized more than 10 parties in different places and various seasons. We aim for every party to be special and that is why we keep trying to find the best bars and clubs.
The invited DJs are friends with the most of us and they are used to play music in well-known bars in Athens.
The excellent organizing, the private character and the groove sounds are enough to have great fun.
I should add here, that the parties are non-profit; in fact, they organized by us for us and are merely hosted by the nightclubs!
We do hope that, apart from the updates regarding the parties, it will also give us the opportunity to meet new people and to share ideas and experiences.
Press play to try again.
You can get it here.

Brookside by Day
Many of the same staff members at Brookside by Day have helped prepare and serve home-cooked favorites since the day the diner opened in 1991. That sense of tradition permeates every aspect of the restaurant, from the country decor of hardwood tables to the house specialties ranging from breakfast burritos to chicken-fried chicken. That's not to say the times can't change, however—along with the regular menu, chalkboard specials rotate daily, and in 2013 the diner added a bar where guests can watch the flat-screen TV over drinks or sip a Bloody Mary at brunch to cure their Sunday papercuts.
