Evader. Who's talking about responding to that post of mine? I'm referring to the 590+ proofs you owe me with regards to the wild statement you keep making. I answer , have answered EVERY request for proof of what I state in the 2 years I've been here. Not missed one. If I state something, and someone asks for proof, it is always faultlessly produced. If I think or believe or opine something, I underline it. It may or may not be a fact, but a guess or an opinion. I repeat, you owe me many responses, but I've given up on them.

You r really that slow?
A flight from London with one passenger originally departing from Kenya carries only one passenger?
BTW, They counted both citizens and aliens separately. Father and mother not counting child would have been 1 alien and 1 citizen.

Why is this Australia's fault? The sinking happened in Indonesian waters so why is it Australia's fault that people died. Oh, I know, they now have a Conservative government.
If this sinking happened a month ago before the election, it would not have been Australians problem. But because the Conservatives won the election, it is their fault!!!
Did you know earthquakes are caused by Global Warming? Volcanoes too. You can't blames Climate Change on a volcanic eruption but the Libtards will blame Global Warming and Conservatives for every thing.
Australia defends response as refugee sinking toll hits 28
Sydney (AFP)- Australia Sunday insisted it provided "all appropriate assistance" to an asylum-seeker boat that sank off Indonesia, as the toll mounted to 28 and survivors claimed their calls for help had gone unheeded.
The vessel, packed with asylum-seekers from Lebanon, Jordan and Yemen, sank in rough seas Friday, with estimates of between 80 and 120 people on board and about 25 rescues.
Indonesian search teams recovered seven more bodies in a sweep of the coast on Sunday -- six adults and a boy -- taking the official death toll to 28, with dozens more unaccounted for and steep waves of four to six metres (13 to 20 feet) hampering operations.

I have never heard about Central planning in Chicago and Clinton took money out on Sept. 10. This is brand new too me because I do not listen to fabricators in rightwing Radio and TV.
The testimony at the Sept. 11, Commission proves the whole outgoing Clinton Administration warned the whole incoming Bush administration about al Qaeda terrorist and nothing about Iraq.
Bush and Cheney testified without taking the oath to swear and tell the truth.

Awesome how they were interviewed together. Not under oath. Not that it would have mattered.
Cheney wasn't about to let Dubbya in a room alone with audio or video devices.
Even if they had zero prior knowledge, Dubbya would have left the room guilty.
At first, I thought Bush was just stupid. Then I thought of how brilliant it would be to put an incompetent clown on American TV as our ambassador to our govt. Everyone is a little more forgiving of those who just don't seem to get it. Imagine what you could get away with.
Any hard question could be averted.
"Well, we are recipropafacating the facts. And as soon as we collabrify... I'll tell ya."
It is as good as Omerta!
But then that situation happened. And I knew I was wrong. If they couldn't let him in a room with a camera by himself... it wasn't a rouse. He genuinely had no one with faith in him.

I don't know. Why don't you ask the Corporate welfare guys? I don't know what the amount of dollars the Corporate welfarers get compared to the people on welfare. I'd wager it's more. What do you think? Oh, corporate welfare do create jobs, but then , so do people on welfare. They buy stuff, don't they? Does that not create and maintain jobs?

Bush was truly an ignoramus but Obama who has a brilliant mind continued most all of his polices which are detrimental to average Americans.

Who blamed the Australian conservative party? Please indicate your source. Sigh,another request for proof that will be ignored as you don't have any. No one blamed the Aussies for this latest one, as far as I know. Proof of the blame, please.
Now,everyone knows that Australia has a policy of not allowing refugee-packed boats to enter their territorial waters, when possible. When it's not, and they do , the Aussies have a designated island where they camp them and where they are vetted. Some are allowed in, but not a whole heck of a lot. The others are sent back.
"Hampering operations"...you wrote that. What operations? I thought you said Australia did not help.

Wake up. My granddaughter was been racially harassed and the school would not do anything. So I took her to the police station and we filed an assault complaint. I then paid a lawyer $100 to send a Letter of Demand and an Intent to file a law suit unless they took care of the situation.
You see, schools do not want to rein in black students for fear THEY will be sued but by documenting assaults against my g-daughter by a few black kids I put them on noticed. One more assault I would have withdrawn her from the public school and put her in a private school and then sued the school.
I will stand my ground that a greater percentage of black people are blatantly racist compared to white people.

How Netflix Handled the Reboot of 218 Cassandra Nodes
Amazon performed a major maintenance update at the end of September in order to patch a security vulnerability in a Xen hypervisor affecting about 10% of their global fleet of cloud servers. This update involved the rebooting of those servers, with consequences for AWS users and the services they provide, including one of their largest clients, Netflix.
Adapting Test Teams to Agile Projects
Testing teams and their managers need to unlearn the traditional mindset and practices when they want to adopt an agile way of working says Navneet Goyal. At the International Conference on Software QA and Testing on Embedded Systems he gave a talk about how test teams should adapt themselves in agile projects.
Using Complexity Measurements to Improve Software Quality
Complexity is a direct indicator of software quality and costs: if the complexity for any code is high, the quality of that code will be lower and it will cost more to manage it. Complexity measurements can be used to estimate development and test activities and to decide where refactoring is needed to improve quality and prevent problems.
Testing Machine to Machine Systems
Devices are becoming increasingly interconnected through the internet where they are communicating directly with each other. Testing such machine to machine (M2M) systems can be difficult due to their complexity and the usage of different platforms, as Peter Varhol explained in his talk about testing in the M2M world at the QA&Test 2014 conference.
Testing Impact of Model Driven Development
By using Model Driven Development component tests could be skipped and integration and system testing went a lot smoother, said Bryan Bakker in the presentation Model Driven Development (MDD) and its impact on testing. Main results from the MDD approach are a reduction of the amount of testing and increased reliability of the code that was generated from a mathematical model.
Designing Systems for Testability
Testability must be explicitly designed in the system said Peter Zimmerer from Siemens AG. Test architects should drive testability and collaborate with architects, designers and testers in using good design and engineering practices. At the QA&Test 2014 conference Peter gave a tutorial about design for testability for embedded software systems.
VersionOne and CA Technologies release a new PPM/APM integrated solution
Last week VersionOne and CA Technologies announced that they have integrated their Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) and Agile Project Management (APM) products to provide an enterprise solution which the two organisations say gives users the ability to have a strategic view of a complete portfolio at the executive level no matter what methodology teams might use.
Testing the Internet of Things
Testing embedded software and systems for the Internet of Things has to involve physical, sensory and emotional interactions says Gerie Owen, Business Solutions Analyst from Northeast Utilities. InfoQ interviewed Gerie Owen and Peter Varhol about how testing differs for the internet of things and embedded software and systems, and on dealing with expectations and experiences of people in testing.
Intern 2.1 Brings New HTML and JUnit reporters
Sitepen has released version 2.1 of Intern, its next generation JavaScript testing stack. Intern brings with it new HTML and JUnit reporters, grep and skip functions, and improved performance.
State of Testing Report
The State of Testing 2013 report contains the results of a survey done by Joel Montvelisky from PractiTest together with Tea-Time with Testers. The survey, which has been filled in by people from testing and QA communities, provides insight in the adoption of test techniques and practices, test automation, and the challenges that testers are facing.
Testdroid Mobile Device Farm Is Now Integrated with JIRA
Testdroid's maker Bitbar has recently announced the integration of Testdroid mobile app testing products with Atlassian JIRA defect tracking system.

Microsoft is Adopting a More Agile Approach
Satya Nadella, CEO at Microsoft Corporation, is preaching a more nimble approach of agile implementation to build software as part of the company's transformation.
Reaction to Proposed Software Testing Standard
ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 is a proposed standard for software testing that has generated a lot of reaction in the industry, much of it against the implementation of the new standard.
9th Annual State of Agile Survey Now Open
The 9th Annual State of Agile Survey is currently open for participants to share their adoption of Agile practices and processes for inclusion in the annual report.
Thoughts on Unit Testing vs Ad-hoc Testing with Asynchronous Code
One of the interesting features of the Task + async/await pattern is that you can easily decorate the results of any operation. Lucian Wischik of Microsoft shows how to take advantage of this in order to make your end-to-end testing more robust.

I need to implement a "Search" box on a C# MVC application that I'm writting.
I've never had to implement a "Search" box before and I've been looking for some best practices and I'm not quite finding what I'm looking for.
I really like how the search works on stackoverflow.
If I type in a few random words, it navigates to the url http://stackoverflow/search?q=few+random+words.
If I type in title:random, it navigates to the url http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=title%3Arandom
What is happening both on the client (when I hit the enter key) and on the server to make the search happen?
I've purposely left out any thoughts I've already had on what is happening because I don't want to bias the answers (or show my ignorance).
EDIT: I'm adding some specifics to this question.
Where and how are the search terms transformed into the querystring parameters? ie few random words transformed into few+random+words,title:random transformed into title%3Arandom
Where and how is few+random+words tranformed into variables used in a query?
Is the query just one big Where clause that keeps appending "and" for each item that lands between the + signs?
I guess you could parse through the strings and do some replaces to achieve 1 and 2 but it sure looks like there is something already available that would automatically convert (and revert) the search strings. I'm trying to be prepared for my user's typing ANYTHING in the search box.

Those of you with walk in pantries...
How did you do your shelving? Did you DIY it? My kitchen designer wants to design the pantry, but I am not sure if I want to spend big $$ for the cupboards, etc. Especially because our space is not that big. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
Mine was here when we bought the house and it has upper cabinets, a counter, and lower cabinets. I hate it.
I would much prefer all open shelving since I can close the door if I worry about keeping things "neat."
I think it depends on how large your pantry is whether you need a designer or just simple logic on the most bang for the shelf. Always worth getting a KD opinion and then go from there.
Ours was built by the same cabinet maker who did our kitchen. For us, it was definitely worth it to get the pantry designed just the way we wanted and with storage for everything we were looking to store:
There's stuff in their now, this was right after the tall cab was installed:
Mine will just have open shelving around the room. Can't imagine why I would want cupboards in this space. There is a door, however, so this won't be visible to the rest of the house.
Here is a pic of the pantry in the model with *empty* Bud Light boxes. :)
Your thread reminded me that I've been meaning to post my pantry on the comprehensive pantry thread over on the Gallery side of the forum. I've just done that and will link the thread below. It might be of some help.
My carpenter put my HD adjustable shelving system in mine. It was cheap and fast, which is what I needed at the time just before t-day when we moved back into the hoise. I wanted something prettier and more custom, but this works.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Pantry Thread
Ours is all open shelving with the shelves spaced the distance I wanted. My builder did our pantry. I wanted to be able to see everything so I didn't do any drawers or cabinetry. I've since added more open organizers though.
For some reason I can't access my photobucket right now. But if you click below, our pantry is about 1/4 of the way down the page. It's not quite the whole thing but gives a decent idea of it:
Here is a link that might be useful: babs711 Finished Kitchen & Pantry
This was a great thread to open. I have a large closet/butler pantry (not sure really what it was originally - may have only been an added on part to the house for all I know). Right now it serves as my coat/storage closet as it's the only one on the ground floor and, it's right off the dining room. I keep thinking there HAS to be a good way to make this into coat/pantry storage and the photos here gave me some good ideas on how to achieve that. Even could finally get the cat's feeder out of the kitchen maybe - that would make me really happy since it's kind of in the way there.
So eventually lol. No funding right now but I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I saved pix for when I can. Fantastic job on all accounts!
We have a very large walk in pantry, 6X10. I love it. The builder put in a skylight which is a really nice feature. Its always very bright in there. We have the standard, white wire shelving, 3 rows on 2 walls and one long wall with a shelf about 6 ft. up and hooks below for brooms, mop, etc. Although we don't have an abundance of 'stuff', I don't know how I ever lived w/o a walk in pantry, lol! It really frees up the kitchen cabinets so everything is very visable and very uncluttered. The short, back wall is perfect for my 3 sets of dishware and service pieces. One long wall contains food, partyware, and asst. bakingware. The perimeter under the shelving is perfect for soda 12pks, animal food and spare towels for cleaning.
I designed this and DH built it:
The shelves are almost all adjustable. He'll do the opposite wall as time allows, but I really needed this one to get moved into the kitchen.
I knew pretty much what I needed in the way of storage (measured everything), so felt no KD was necessary for the pantry planning. YMMV.
Ours is kind of ragtag utilitarian. It works well for us and has a door so it doesn't need to be a showplace.
When we bought the house, the pantry had shelving that was like the kitchen cabinets (and most of the other cabinets in the house) except open shelves with no doors. The cabinets were on one wall configured for an upright freezer next to cabinets with a counter on the bottom and upper cabinets all across. We have a chest freezer so we moved the lower cabinet unit out to the garage for storage there and put the chest freezer on the empty wall across from the cabinets. We found bookshelves that were the same depth 12" as the uppers to fill the space under the uppers and for the bit of wall next to the chest freezer.
My DH also put some plywood for hanging storage on the end wall and between where the chest freezer ends and the door. We hang the woks, wok lids, and some other awkward items there.
We did the interior ourselves. Our KD told us it would be far less expensive if we put in the shelving, etc. ourselves.
Our KD was very up-front with us when she thought things were overpriced if we did them with her. I really appreciated that!
Another thing she told us not to do through her was get the glass for the doors and shelves in our two glass door cabinets. She recommended we go to a glass place instead. She was right! It was far less expensive!

When most people think of the Pennsylvania Farm Show they think of baked potatoes, milkshakes, tractors and checking out the livestock exhibits. However, there is another crop on hand, public officials.
While the state secretary of agriculture is a common sight to see along with the governor, countless state and federal legislators will take to the show to tout their love of Pennsylvania agriculture. From the unveiling of the butter sculpture to the final supreme champion selection, these officials will be parading through. This year's show will host several "celebrity" events these legislators can show off their farming skills. Media updates and listening sessions will also be scheduled.
So, what does that mean for Pennsylvania farmers? Well, it is no secret that the state's agriculture budget has taken a beating the past few years in response to reduced state tax receipts. Some farmers have said that agriculture has been treated unfairly in the mix because they believe that the ag budget has taken larger hits than other areas of the state budget.
Farm Show can provide that backdrop for farmers to tell legislators and policy makers their thoughts on pending agriculture legislation. And with the governor's budget address only a few short weeks after the show, farmers can begin to sow the seeds on what they believe needs to be in that budget.
With leadership changes in the state house and senate, many of these leaders will be looking to hear what issues should be on their agriculture priority list.
So, as we head into the 2011 edition of the show, the Lancaster Farming staff will be curious to see what themes develop as the new legislative session and administrations begin.

We reveal the 2012 Ultimate London Restaurant List
We reveal the 2012 Ultimate London Restaurant List
We are proud to announce 2012's All In One Ultimate Restaurant List - the definitive guide to London's top eateries. So the big question is: which restaurant has topped this year's list?
On the back of a fantastic year which includes scooping the top spot at the UK National Restaurant Awards for a second consecutive year as well as getting the �highest climber� accolade, at number 14, in the World�s 50 Best Restaurants List, The Ledbury confirms it�s position as London�s ruling eatery by topping our All In One: Ultimate Restaurant List, 2012.
The list of London�s Top 100 restaurants was launched last year with the aim of unifying and normalising the myriad of dining awards and ratings into one easy to digest, definitive index. In short, the All In London development team has formulated a mathematical algorithm which weights and assesses the various local, national and global awards, ratings and industry momentum to rank restaurants based on their standing over the preceeding 12 months.
When presented with the award, Head Chef Brett Graham commented: �We are delighted to be accepting this award. It has been a great year for the Ledbury team so far and we will continue to work hard and focus on having happy customers in the restaurant and living up to their high expectations!�
When asked what goes into making such a successful restaurant the Australian explained, �We continue to focus on the customer, ensuring they have the best possible time here. We have a strong team who are all passionate about what they do. The menu is constantly being developed, focusing on seasonal produce and British ingredients.�
�We are a neighbourhood restaurant and are lucky to have lots of regulars so to constantly change and develop the menu is essential as we want to give people something new if they come in for the second time that week!�
The two Michelin-starred restaurant opened in Notting Hill in 2005, with Brett as Head Chef, supported by a young, energetic team including Sous Chef Greg Austin, and long-standing Restaurant Manager Stephen Quinn who say that �Together we have a great team and will continue to work hard to make The Ledbury better and better.�
Last year�s Ultimate Restaurant List top spot was claimed by Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley who ranks just one place lower this year at number two, and although new to the capital�s dining scene over the past twelve months, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal made the List�s number three position.
All In One: Ultimate Restaurant List 2012, Top 10:
1. The Ledbury Score: 8.650
2. Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley Score: 8.591
3. Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Score: 8.281
4. Le Gavroche Score: 8.269
5. The Square Score: 8.200
6. Pollen Street Social Score: 7.969
7. Restaurant Gordon Ramsay Score: 7.925
8. Hibiscus Score: 7.771
9. Pied � Terre Score: 7.500
10. Hedone Score: 7.400
A hardcopy of 2012�s All In One: Ultimate Restaurant List will be available across London and by
clicking here
from 10th July. As well as a run-down of the capital�s Top 100 restaurants the guide also features recipes from, and interviews with some of London�s most pre-eminent chefs including Michel Roux Jnr, Simon Rogan, Marcus Wareing, Philip Howard, Angela Hartnett and Clare Smyth.

Columnea species
I'm a newcomer to this forum. Actually didn't know it existed. I have become a nut over Columnea species. They are not the easiest to come by but I have had very good luck growing them. Most are in a growing area where the winter temperatures are about 50F minimum and the humidity is 70% or more most of the time. Most all have or are flowering. Many of the plants I have are still too small to share but many are not. So if anyone is like me and looking for a trading partner in this interesting genus of plants please let me know.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Columnea
Hi Harry,
I love your columneas, pity you weren't in oz. I have been tryng to get a columnea collection going with seeds from ges soc seed fund.
But can you tell me what is the small plant that i can just see on the "log" inbetween the broms on the pic. that is inserted in place of no image yet?????

text: This is a suggestion -- ... I normally have my backups and smartmon tests setup to run exclusive of each other (by chance, more than design -- didn't think it was that big of a deal). Well, had to run a backup at a 'abnormal' time...and it just happened to be the day of the week that smartd would run the long-offline self-test (in background). Normally, a full backup on the disk will take about 10-11 hours -- but the long self test started ~ 2am, and the backup i/o dropped from 4-5MB/s to about 40K/s. They both interfered with each other -- since after 10 hours of self-test (noon next day), 90% of the self-test was remaining to be done (normally takes a little over 2 hours according to the capabilities). So...the selftest had completed 10% in 10 hours, and theoretically had about 90 hours to go (assuming linear test completion time). The backup...at 40K/s would easily exceed that -- so I would have had a 100-hour long self-test, during which the full backup was slowed to about 1/100th its normal speed. Major yuck. Took a bit of time to figure out why the backup was going so slowly; "ps" just showed the backup process in "D"-wait. No errors though, disk was healthy...butin looking at the health report, I noticed the extended offline self-test running. Once I aborted it -- the backup resumed normal dump speed -- but nasty -- if they ever overlap, man -- could take a long time to get anything done. I don't know how difficult it would be -- but maybe smartd should see if a disk has been idle for a minute or so before starting an extended self test? Cuz if the disk is 'busy'...whatever is making it busy could easily slow it and the self test down to not complete for *days* (100 hours: 14 days)....vs. ~12-14 hours to complete them separately, but not in parallel)... A "2nd" RFE would be an option for smartd to abort a self-test that is taking "alot" longer than it should (? 50%? 100%? over-normal-time?)... Just an idea, anyway...meanwhile---foot is sore -- happens like that when you shoot yourself in the foot... :-)

HAVE: Ft Worth Swap April 19 Trinity Park!
We know we've survived another winter when...
the swallows return to Capistrano?
the calla lilies are in bloom?
the moon rising & Venus is transiting Aries?
We know we've survived another winter when
For newcomers, you enter Trinity Park at the little road or trail just across the street from the Botanic Gardens Rose Garden;
it's the same way you go to get to the little train.
We start around 10 AM at a spot near the 'back', by the picnic pavilions,
We'll share a potluck lunch & have a prize drawing with a very modest limit, maybe $5.
Since the weather has been so cold, I don't know what has survived, but I'm sure I'll be able to bring quite a bit of lemon mint.
That stuff gives me courage; it survives *everything*!
I have some yellow cannas, dwarf & standard, & I pegged down a few things last autumn in hopes that they would root, so we shall see.
I also have
a lot of wine glasses,
a vintage glass 'party' set of plates/glasses/cups/etc,
a box of colorful vintage plastic picnicware (pics to follow)
& some broken china for crafts (I just added a lovely old bowl with gold decoration to this stash this afternoon).
Please let me know if you want any of this;
depending on how many plants I bring,
I may have room only for what has been spoken for.
If anyone has vintage embroidered or crocheted things or old feedsack material or quilt 'junk' to trade, I'd be eager to see them.
Can't wait to see everyone!
Hello sylvia.
It's good to see plant swap listing.
Have list
Small curry leaf tree plant
Few rose plant
I hope I can able to start from cutting ( Greek columnar basil, African blue basil)
I can start lemon, purple petra, big genovese, sweet basil,early long, antigue, udalmapet, pandora, casper eggplant , burgundy, clemson okra ,emerald okra , few kinds of tomato and diffetent flowers from seed
I will add more later
I've started my inventory too. It is not complete, just a quick list.
3 rooted forsythia
2 small Cherry Laurel trees
black scallop ajuga
blue spruce sedum
Today was the first day I've been able to actually get outside & browse around to see what things are looking like.
The only signs of life I found were hyacinths & daffodils, & I don't have many of those!
Some of the roses had shown new growth, & of course it froze, & it all looks freeze-dried now.
I did find 5 pots of cannas that need homes, & it looks like a couple of pots of vinca made it.
This is the indestructible vine that likes bright shade.
I know I have some seeds for purple coneflower & for white moonflower (datura);
I'll start some if there's time, but if not I'll bring the seeds.
yep, sure is;
I was focusing on other swap schedules & park schedules & didn't realize the next day is Easter!
Since many people may have week-end-long plans, if we don't get some substantially warmer weather within the next week, maybe we should change the date?
remy, I'm so glad you're a vegetable fan!
If I can find them, I'll bring you some lemon cucumber seeds (uh, assuming you like cucumbers!);
they're over a year old, but hopefully some will germinate.
Lemon cucumbers are about the size & color of lemons, they're a little sweeter & have less 'bite' than the long green ones, & they don't make you (me) burp!
accidentally pulled out a daisy with 2 roots & put it in a pot.
don't remember the kind, seems like I got it at one of the swaps & the name has something "arctic" about it.
Alaskan or Iceberg or some such.
The original plant is still in the ground &, even after its very difficult first summer & horrible first winter, it's has made 2 babies, so I'm thinking this one will likely do well for someone!
For those who haven't met Cheryl/seamommy or who haven't seen her facebook posts on her antique & cool stuff business, you're in for a treat even if she can't find one spare sprig of mint in her garden;
she makes the coolest 'junk', I mean art, for the garden.
I just transplanted some Heavenly Blue morning glories into their own individual little plastic cups, hope they do well.
Transplanting seedlings has to be my very least favorite thing to do in the garden.
If anyone wants to look me up on FB my name is Cheryl McCall. I do have a lot of fun with garden junk, antiques, and repurposed items. I sell most of it since people seem to like it. I have recently finished a POTTING BENCH from a repurposed buffet cabinet. Just waiting for a space to open up at the store to take it in. I'll be posting pics of it before it goes. Cheryl
yep, I think the bad winter delayed everything in the gardens, & then, in trying to give people a week-end to recuperate from the San Antonio swap (some swappers from our area did go there last year), I set this year's Spring Swap....
the day before Easter!
I left a message for the woman in Duncanville who gave me the dark purple iris last year, asking her if she'd like to come with me to the swap, & haven't heard from her yet.
If people can bring a friend or neighbor, it'll be good, but if not, we'll just be a smaller group this time.
more macaroni & cheese for me!
I talked to a woman yesterday whose grandmother's house is being torn down, & she told me I can take all the iris albicans (old white cemetery irises) that I want.
There are a lot of 'em!, so if anyone wants some, please let me know.
I'm happy to dig them if they'll have homes, just don't want to dig them up only to have them dry out & die anyway.
I mean...there're a *lot* of 'em.
Did I hear the word "mint"???
I just happen to have millions of mint!
Mainly, it's lemon mint, which I think is the most useful, since you can put it in hot or iced tea or you can just carry around a little bit & rub the leaves to smell that heavenly fragrance, but I may also have a little chocolate mint.
My seedlings are slow, but I do have some Heavenly Blue morning glories & some really teeny-tiny zinnias & such.
& it looks like some of the castor beans will make it.
Should we plan on a potluck or on prizes?
whatever y'all want it fine with me!
Want list
Cutting or plant
Jasmine, mayer lemon, gardenia,
Any dwarf flower plant(that stay small)
Almost anything edible like herbs,vegetables anything
Have list
Small plant
Curry leaf tree
Grape fruit mint
Lime mint
Sweet mint
African blue basil
few rooted rose plant
Sweet basil seedlings
Nigella persian jewl seedlings
Here's what I have (that I can remember right now!):
lots of lemon mint
3 small pots of oregano
lots of Old white cemetery irises (iris albicans)
1 pot of soapwort
a number of Heavenly Blue morning glory seedlings *very small*
3 or 4 crinums, don't remember what kind but probably white with mauve veining
teeny weeny just sprouting castor bean plants, 1 pot, maybe 2.
These are stunning plants, but they're toxic, so they need to be placed out of the reach of children & passersby.
1 purple coneflower seedling, very small.
1 or 2 sedums, can get more if needed.
The plant resembles Autumn Joy, but the flowers are white.
datura seedling(s?) very small, old-fashioned white.
couple of pots of cannas, dwarf yellow with orange throat or yellow standard, lost tags so don't know which is which.
a few teeny zinnia seedlings, all the seeds were tossed into big shallow dishpans, will separate into smaller pots if I have time.
Remy, I'm pretty sure there's one batch of dwarf zinnias;
I still haven't found the cucumber seeds, but I have some other seeds & seedlings that I'll bring.
I'll pot up some chocolate mint,
& I have a yellow & orange bi-color rose for Auggie.
I also have:
lots of black plastic nursery pots
a couple of crocks like people used to use for fresh butter
a couple of decorative pots or containers
Please *SAY SO* if you want any of these bulky items;
I'm "chauffeuring" some stuff for a friend this trip, so my space is a bit limited.
If I don't have room for everything, I'll bring what has been spoken for & as many actual plants as possible, & then I'll stuff everything else in until the car almost bursts but not quite.
I'll bring mac & cheese (seems like everybody can eat mac & cheese!) & a "gardener-care kit" with lotion, vinegar, baking soda, sunscreen for the prize drawing in case we have one.
If y'all want to have the drawing, please bring a prize worth about $5.

Here's my list
Turkey/Swiss cheese pinwheels and drinks, probably some chips too
1 Cherry Laurel tree, maybe 18-24 inches tall ... just potted
2 Vitex seedlings that came up underneath mama (she is a medium blue bloom, lost the tag years ago).
1 is 18-24 inches tall and has 5-7 serrated leaves and the other is small with 3 smooth leaves like mom
1 rooted forsythia I edited this. The roots were not as plentiful as I thought!
multiple smallish pots of ajuga (the blue blooms right now are so pretty) and sedum (bluish gray). I will try to bring 4-6 smallish pots of each of these unless someone wants more :-)
I can dig cannas but only if anyone speaks for them. I have both red and dark orange blooming tall green-leaved indica and medium height 'Pretoria'...it's got yellow and green striped foliage with the larger flowering orange bloom.
I have lots of that yellow that Sylvia has too, I think...no need to duplicate canna though, it grows like bunnies.
I have the regular yellow iris and I can dig as much as you want.
I really meant to plant edibles for you Remy, but never got to it.
Sylvia, you have everything that I want...mint, white iris are just so pretty and pots! I hope that I have something that you want. The iris don't need to be potted, the rhizomes in a bag are just fine and space saving.
I have some Garden Art stuff for door prizes too
I'll bring some extra lawn chairs and a card table since we have a truck.

I am interested in mints, few white iris,3 or 4 sedum, vinca, and few yellow orange cannas if you don't like anything from my list I can bring u lotion or glade candles, also what kind of decorated pots do you have?
For the door prize it has to be garden related or can I bring anything?
I think the swap is all about having fun & sharing with other people, so I'd say when there's a decision of any kind to be made, make it enjoyable & easy on yourself:
bring whatever prize you wish!
Here's my list so far:
to Pam:
from Pam:
edited to add: I'd love to have one of the vitexes if no one speaks up for it!
to Remy:
daisy or daisies
chocolate mint
lemon mint
dwarf zinnias:
there's a whole dishpan of tiny babies; can you use that many? (say yes! please! As I've mentioned, transplanting is my very least favorite garden activity! Give me a shovel & make me dig, but please don't make me separate those tiny fragile little things!)
I may have a yellow squash coming up, will check.
Those things produce so much that you only need one.
from Remy
nigella if no one else speaks up for it:
(I don't really need even one more plant of any kind,
but I do love them!)
I forgot to put on my list yesterday that I have:
2 pots of lamb's ears
2 pots of four o'clocks, don't know the color
something that I'm not sure of, but I think it's ginger.
If so, & if you like ginger, this is the one to get:
It survived the winter in a plastic pot buried under autumn leaves!

Cheryl, CuteTexan, Weldon and Marti....
Anything that I have left after the arranged swaps is up for grabs.
Marti, are you up for snooping through my seedbox? I know that I have some natives in there, some maybe 3-4 years old, so not sure that they are still viable. Where you relocating to?
That offer stands for anyone else who wants to look through the seedbox. I'd rather they go to someone who will plant them than see them go bad.
I really need nothing in return. My gardens don't have much space left.
I can also dig the canna and iris if there is any interest.
Hi Everyone,
I wasn't 100% sure until last night that I would be able to make the swap, but looks like I am going to make it! I do have to get my plants potted up tonight though.
I will have the following:
Mammoth Sunflower plants
Maximilian Sunflower plants
Rootbeer Plants
Larkspur (white)
Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate (small seedlings) (variegated)
Yarrow (white)
That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I will find more stuff when I start looking.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
Thank you Sylvia for organizing another great swap! It was great to see you all!
I had so much fun and came home with a lot of beautiful plants that I had no intention of bringing home! You don't want to know what my hubby said when he saw the trunk load of goodies!
It was like a big party with plants! :-)

An Excursion To Namur
... were back at our hotel a little after 6 pm. For dinner we
were back visiting our friend Savino at Pasta Divina. Tonight I had Ragu with
Amori pasta. Carolyn had mussels with spaghetti. Neither of us left a single
morsel on our plate. One last stroll around the Grand Place and it was
time to head back to the hotel to pack one last time. Wake up call tomorrow is
at 5:15 am. We can't believe that 17 days have passed so quickly.
Time to bring Grass to Namur!)))
... so attentively that he looked like their big father...lol
I loved that process of rolling grass a lot.
Finally grass was everywhere)) Even on the benches))) People asked us why it was happening, why we were putting grass everywhere)) Some of them were happy to make photos on grass-benches)) But there were also people who thought that putting grass everywhere was stupid and ugly thing to do))
Many people.. many ...
First working day in the work camp
... br> What is even more interesting many workers who prepare the stages and make decorations come from abroad too. And I am proud to say that we were among them.
Our first working day started with light breakfast and with moving beds again))))
Then we went to the main stage of the festival in hangar called Cabaret, where we got to know our coworkers))).
They didn't give us much work to do...
At first we helped in hanging the red curtains which were used ...
Walibi (Nathan)
... steel drum music just sent me into a trance. It seemed so much more sinister now. Of course, even with the clowns, it still looked like no effort had been put in- they looked like they were made out of old clothes and the kind of masks you can buy at a Halloween store for 10 cents, and when the dinosaur appeared, it was obvious that they had just had it lying around and felt like putting it somewhere. Murderous clowns in the woods south of the border? Revisionist history, to ...
Traditional Belgian Brewery
... their traditional brew and then how they used a small batch of the mash to experiment with different flavors - the example he gave was adding flowers. The lunch was a buffet of salmon (smoked and marinated in beer), ham (marinated in beer since 4am that morning), regional cheeses, organic vegetable soup with beer, bread raised with beer yeast... you get the picture. All in the rustic bar on the premises of the ...

1 month after purchasing a grill gazebo, the metal on the shelves where the grout is layed have completely rusted. Sunjoy's response was to get a can of spray paint. After complaining enough they sent me replacement shelves in worst shape than my existing shelves....Again their solution was to purchase paint and fix it myself. Add comment
