do your terra cotta pots crack if kept dry during winter?
i have a few cold hardy cacti that will be staying outside this winter.
If I keep them completely dry and away from any rain or snow, will the terra cotta pots crack???
Mine dont crack because I bring them inside set them on shelves on window sills of garages sheds where ever it can be found in cold storage areas with southern exposed lighting. Think about ground planting your cold hardy cati or hypertufa containers if you lack cold storage space.
I guess it all depends where you live. I keep cold hardy cactus in pots out doors and they are alright but I am 8b. Some pots crack in the coldest of cold fronts. Only one in 10 years. I think it was a very low fired porous earthenware pot. It flaked a bit. I am not in Idaho or Inland BC.
8b isn't exactly a concern for most cold-hardy plants, no? I have region envy sometimes.
What I meant about cracking, I meant cracking well...anyway, if a plant here has soil / plant in it and the soil thaws during the day then freezes that night - it's not good for the plant, IME, and the pot might crack, too, especially those recurved-inwardly ones which I now avoid using (they're fun to throw towards the shard pile).
I did not know where Beaniebeagle lived so I thought I would give another thought from a person who lives in the warmer cold effected area. I am not the perfect 9b of Cali and arizona. I am somewhat effected at times by cold. It sure ain't San Diego NOR where you are. I am betwix and between.
beaniebeagle - I have many different terracottas (w/ soil, plants) left outside in winter and they do not crack. But, it hardly rains in Las Vegas and humidity levels usually below 15%, so very little moisture in my pots for freeze-thaw cycle to affect it. And it usually nevers gets below 30F here at night, then temps and sun always comes up during the day. Only occasional days when it may dip down to 20's. However, even if you keep them out of rain/snow, if the humidity is very high, I think the TC pots will still absorb the moisture around it and you can still go through freeze-thaw cycle which may contribute to some cracking.
Z4 ,,, SD I bet that ain't San Diego. .......South dakota....BRRRRRRRRRRR
But you're a perfect 8B, surely! I often listen to 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered', usually by Ella, when repotting Gasterias. It also puts me in a betwixt and between space, which helps a lot when you're dealing with northern top dressing.
That's a good way to describe it - rather than crack in cold-but-not-as-cold-as-us weather, it spalls (full disclosure - gears, as in wind turbine generator gearboxes, also spall, but only when they're bad). Calling it flaking is too imprecise.
From Wikipedia -
Spall are flakes of a material that are broken off a larger solid body and can be produced by a variety of mechanisms, including as a result of projectile impact, corrosion, weathering, cavitation, or excessive rolling pressure (as in a ball bearing). Spalling and spallation both describe the process of surface failure in which spall is shed.
---------------end quoted text----------------------
And I love the observation 'Each place has its charm, though very different.' - ain't that the facts! I was in SanD for 20 years until I came to the Southern Interior of BC almost 6 years ago - even in August, you can feel Ol' Man Winter get near.
Mike , my place sits right on the brder of everything. We are on the border of Z8a/8b, the county border and the shop is literally built on a watershed border between to major stream systems. The property is drained by three m stream watersheds. and this ecological zone is the FRACTURE zone of the Edward's Plateau where it drops off into the Blackland Prairie.
And we are not far from the Balcones fault (very inactive) little fault line.

Kara's Cupcakes, San Francisco
Every ingredient at this cupcakerie's six stores is sourced from the Bay Area. Pastry chef–owner Kara Haspel Lind fills her Strawberry Cream cupcakes with organic strawberries from Watsonville's Yerena Farms and tops them with her terrific cream cheese frosting. This frosting also tops her spiced-pumpkin cupcakes, the most anticipated fall cupcake, which has a local cult following. Lind's profession as a sugar rush specialist is ironic considering her father's profession—he's a dentist. karascupcakes.com

Excellent HotelPosted Mar 27, 2015
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Restaurant menu could have some more healthy options available (like grilled seafood), but besides this, great food!
Great sense of hospitality, staff very accomodating and always smiling.

Great GetawayPosted Mar 15, 2015
Pros: Spacious rooms, great pool area, free use of snorkel and water sports equipment, easy access to beach area
Cons: Numerous plastic bags on the beach and in the water need to be cleaned up. Also, the water at the resort smelled funny (out of the shower and sinks).
Location: Resort isn't within walking distance of any activities but it's easy to arrange for transportation to local excursions and bars.
Traveled on my own to this resort for a quiet getaway. The hotel staff was great in arranging for airport transportation, grocery delivery, and boat excursion to several nearby islands (which was excellent by the way). Villa was very nice, with full kitchen, living room, washer & dryer. I regret not upgrading to an ocean view, so if you have the option to do it I highly recommend it to get the full experience.

We just returned from Grand Isle and loved it!Posted Mar 13, 2015
Pros: Room amenities, service, and location.
Cons: Clean up the beach a bit.
Location: Go to Santanas in Little Exuma for a great meal and a really cool beach bar! Also hit the Tropic of Cancer beach as it is truly outstanding!
My wife and i just returned from Grand Isle and we loved every second of it! The rooms are truly outstanding and the property is very nicely kept. The staff was very helpful, professional and friendly. Two very minor detractions include the resturant/bar pricing....we ordered a vodka and tonic when we arrived and the menu reflected a price of $8.50 but we were charged $17.50 because the added good vodka instead of the house stuff. The food is good but more expensive than the resturants off site.The other very minor issue was trash on the beach. Grand Isle shares the beach with Sandals and does rake the area of the beach right in front of Grand Isle but if you walk just a few feet past the rake area we saw lots of plastic trash and quite a bit was floating in the water. I would highly recommend renting a car and going to the grocery store in Georgetown and the liquer store is only a short walk from the resort. Liquer is very resonably priced at the store and a much better value than at the resort. Great Exuma and Little Exuma have so many outstanding beaches but you need a cra to reach them aside from the resort beach. All in all, a great place to visit and stay!

Beach hotel close to the GGT airportPosted Jan 8, 2015
Pros: Well equiped villas with good kitchen amenities.
Cons: Get rid of sand flies. Speed of service in the restaurant could definitely be improved, ridicilously long waiting time for lunch.
Location: Good location by a nice bay. Not much to do around than using hotel gears. No eating alternatives close. Do the ocean safari and swim with the pigs.
Lovely days in this very nice hotel. A lot of itching though thanks to sand flies.

Great beach, clean and well decorated rooms. The staff is friendly, the only thing that needs improvement is the menu and the speed of service at the restaurant and bar. Overall a positive experience.

very nice villas,the best villa Ive ever lived inPosted Dec 25, 2014
very nice villa,best villa Ive ever lived in. nice staff and nice golf cart, beautiful beach,snorkel and kayak are all available and free inside the hotel,actually I believe they are under the same company with Sandals,which is another big hotel in north Exzuma,but Sandals is more like a hotel for 2 persons,the grand isle is better for family because most of the villas have 2 or more bedroom with kitchen

Great beachfront accommodations.Posted Dec 18, 2014
Beautiful condos! Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great beach. Nice restaurant. Never a wait for anything. All excellently maintained. Gregg Norman designed golf course right next door. Fabulous location for a very quiet get away. If you are looking night life, Great Exuma is not the place for you.

great villas, no food and bad ANT problem:0(Posted Dec 16, 2014
all was above and beyond our expectations, but when it came to mealtime and food accommodations, it was tough-- if you miss the restaurant hours, you were pretty much out of luck until they reopened... we had a fabulous kitchen, and empty fridge; suggest at least providing a "cash bar" type of fridge, where you pay for what you drink/eat (ESPECIALLY BOTTLED WATER)! finally, don't leave ANYTHING food wise out ANYWHERE-- serious pest problem with their version of ants... they would find a crumb and come in drones!!!! even still, overall, it is a GORGEOUS resort and amazing villas-- still kind of green with their accommodations but not bad at all! ps: golf carts were a great perk (came with a mini garage and all)!
for Everyoneby A verified travelerfrom Nassau

It doesn't take much guesswork to figure out what inspired the first lingerie collection from the young Montreal label Love At First Blush.
The all-black Nine Lives collection is sleek, stylish and figure-hugging — just the sort of thing Catwoman might wear during her down time. And yes, those lace kitty ears are part of the collection!
"Nine Lives is about the different personalities and characteristics of a woman," LAFB designer Sabrina Chin told me. "It's also about cats. That's what gave me inspiration. I was looking at images of cats, superheroes and femmes fatales."
And why cats? "They're so mysterious, so intriguing," Sabrina says. "And they're creatures of the night."
It's also a playful collection with several pieces meant to be worn as outerwear, especially the Jewel and Cage bodysuits, which can probably do double duty as superhero costumes if your catsuit is at the cleaners.
Nine Lives represents a major step forward for a young Canadian designer best known for her S&M-inspired leather accessories, which you can see in several of the collection photos, and which have sold well on Etsy.
Sabrina was working as a designer for a fashion retailer, and producing intricately detailed leather cuffs, gloves and jewelry accessories in her spare time since 2009. Hard to believe, but those patterns were all cut by hand using blades and scissors. "It took a really long time," she says. "It got to the point where I couldn't fulfill my orders."
The move into fashion lingerie was a natural progression for Sabrina, who graduated five years ago from Ryerson University's fashion design program (just like Christina Remenyi of Fortnight Lingerie) and devoted her full-time energies to Love At First Blush beginning last year.
The Nine Lives collection is meant to complement LAFB's accessory pieces, with designs that include straps and cutouts that go well with the patterns and harness detailing on those dramatic cuffs and chains.
"Everything is made to go together," Sabrina says. "It's a very fashion-oriented collection. I imagine people wearing the bodysuits with jeans or high-waisted pants."
Sabrina has been shopping her collection around Montreal boutiques and DIY shows, and hopes to find retail distributors in Toronto and beyond.
Until then, save your gas money and check out the debut collection from Love At First Blush on the label's Etsy shop.
How did the creative team at Agent Provocateur find inspiration for its new Spring-Summer lingerie collection? By watching lots and lots of porn.
Not the depressingly unoriginal raunch that spews from today's X-rated film factories, but the soft-focus, semi-explicit narrative fantasies that challenged tastes and censorship laws back in the 70s.
AP creative director Sarah Shotton says she and her crew "watched hours of softly glowing scenes" from 70s's erotic classics like Emmanuelle, Story of O and the films and photobooks of David Hamilton, and thumbed through "vintage" Playboys as well.
The point of all this, AP says, was to reacquaint the label with the sensuality and flirtatious spirit of the 70s and deliver a spring lingerie collection that captures that vibe.
The resulting promotional campaign for the 16 new style ranges features a new face for AP (French actress Mylène Jampanoï) and a lot of languid Hamilton-esque poses of bored model who look like they're waiting for something to begin — call it a state of suspended anticipation.
It's all very effective and touches a nostalgic nerve for those of us who grew up with this kind of imagery. It's not the most original marketing strategy, though: last year, Marlies Dekkers (one of AP's competitors) delivered the Electric Bilitis style range and matching photo campaign, which wasn't so much "inspired" by the David Hamilton film of the same name as it was an homage to it.
What's most noteworthy about AP's new approach is how dramatically it veers away from the brand's promotions from recent years — edgy films and photoshoots showing assertive women involved in scenarios about exhibitionism and voyeurism. In-your-face sexuality is out; wistful, dreamy sensuality is back in.
Of course, the "new" Agent Provocateur may be softer around the edges, but its basic erotic appeal hasn't changed. There's nothing modest about the new fishnet-and-straps Bubbles range, and there's no mistaking the hardcore intentions of the plum Brooke range with its satin choker and inviting peephole bra.
And, oddly, while there's a fair bit of vintage references in the 2012 collection, none of it seems related to the 1970s erotica that inspired the marketing campaign. You'll find 50s-inspired shapewear, a 60s-inspired babydoll and even a lovely floral print (the Daena range, above) inspired by the Dutch masters of the 1700s — plus lots of the fashion-forward nouveau erotica we expect from AP.
Here's a look at the new campaign and some of the 2012 styles. Agent Provocateur tends to introduce new styles gradually, so check their website often.
Most artists are familiar with the timeless struggle between creativity and commerce. It's one thing to express your inner visions on canvas, quite another to make a living doing so.
Rio Wrenn knows that dilemma well. The Portland, Ore.-based textile artist has been staging exhibitions and producing small sets of unique but seldom-seen fashion creations for about five years.
The fiercely original Rio likes to work with unusual dye formulas, found fabrics and experimental production methods.
For example, last year's Pre-Soiled Couture collection — part art installation, part fashion line — took an extreme approach to recycled garments, and included such memorable pieces as a dress made from used tea bags and a crop top made from rusty old bottle caps. These were magnificent eco-art statements but, as you can imagine, they were not exactly bestsellers.
Through her label R.A.W. Textiles, Rio has also produced limited collections of uniquely dye-printed lingerie pieces for sale each year, although few people know her primarily as a lingerie designer.
That should change in 2012, however, with the release of Psyche, the first market-friendly, conceptual collection of loungewear and lingerie ensembles from Rio's newly focused label.
Psyche announces the arrival of a gifted design talent determined to find a market for her ethereal, wearable artworks. And Rio makes no apologies for delivering such a, gulp, commercially appealing set.
"The R.A.W. collection is separate from my art," Rio told Lingerie Talk. "Psyche is the first collection I decided to name. I'm allowing it to be more consumeristic, and I don't feel guilty about it. It's still my art, and it comes from somewhere deep inside me. I'll do it till the day I die, whether I sell it or not."
It's hard to imagine that the large and sometimes eccentric Psyche collection won't sell — many pieces are utterly breathtaking, and unlike anything else you'll find anywhere. It helps that the collection gets a beautiful showcase in the accompanying, very old-world, photo campaign from Blueglair.
But be forewarned: because of the fabrics or screening methods used, a few of the items in Psyche are available in very limited numbers.
The collection takes its name from the goddess Psyche of Greek mythology and its rich symbolism. Psyche (which literally translates as "soul") had a passionate bond with Eros, the Greek god of love, and was often depicted as a butterfly.
You'll find the butterfly motif used throughout this collection, along with other mythological references such as the Athena silk jersey range, the Wood Satyr print set, and the wonderful Nymph dress (below) in silk organza.
But Psyche isn't a series of romantic clichés. Instead, Rio presents an interesting tension between the bucolic natural world (butterfly prints on almond-tinted cotton) and the modern industrial one (rust-dyed car parts imprinted on slate-colored silk).
Rio uses fabrics from diverse sources, ranging from Chinese silks to organic bamboo and cotton, and even vintage recycled scraps. The Crochet underwear, for example, is made from authentic vintage lace doilies — which means, sadly, only a few of those are available.
Likewise, Rio's printmaking techniques are self-made and result in some pieces that can be mass-produced and some that can't. Her instantly adorable Butterfly undies are screened with a metal die, so there are plenty of those. But the equally cool native-inspired Karma tee was made with a metal etching that was rusted onto the fabric — as a result, each etching could produce only two pieces. (Happily, Rio is now doing that piece with a silkscreen.)
Rio likes to work with loungewear pieces because they provide a larger canvas for her unique prints, many of which have an industrial motif that transforms the silken finery its printed on into something totally unique.
You'll see that kind of artistic duality in the big charcoal Wing cover (above), for instance, which was originally created for a junkyard-themed fashion show that used old auto parts as the basis for many prints. Same goes for the Chrysalis tunic, which used old gaskets and a real Chevy grill in its prints.
At the other end of the thematic spectrum, the Wood Satyr underwear set has all-natural roots: the rust-colored print is derived from a concoction of berries and iron pieces that are composted in a "cooker" for about two weeks.
"I'm a little hypercreative," Rio explains. "I just go with my gut, and it's hard to tell your gut to stop."
Currently, you can find pieces from R.A.W. Textiles in a handful of boutiques, the new online marketplace Vespoe, and on the label's own webshop.
Whether Rio's extravagant eco-visions find a home in the lingerie market remains to be seen, but that's not the only driving force behind this label.
"What I'm doing is part of who I am," Rio said. "I'm just trying to evolve in my own self. And I know I'm going in the right direction."
Below we have a gallery showing a handful of the designs in this stunning collection. Psyche boasts more than two dozen pieces, so be sure to check out the entire set on the R.A.W. website.
That Jean Paul Gaultier sure knows how to make a splash.
While the fashion world is still buzzing over yesterday's Paris couture show from Gaultier — a suitably trashy collection inspired by the late Amy Winehouse — shoppers on this side of the pond can finally start lining up to get their hands on his new Créateur lingerie collection for La Perla.
We first got a look at Gaultier's second capsule collection for the Italian brand more than six months ago. The lingerie set went on sale at La Perla this week, while JPG's first swimwear collection will be available to pre-registered customers in an online presale beginning tomorrow. (You can sign up by following this link.)
There aren't many lingerie designers who require this kind of crowd control (or who can command La Perla's prices), but Gaultier is not a merely mortal designer. Most pieces in last year's inaugural Créateur set sold out, and the new swimwear line has added buzz because, well, it's new. Trust me, if you wait for these pieces to show up in season-end discount sales, you'll be disappointed.
There are 20 pieces in the 2012 Créateur lingerie collection, which is highlighted by several very unexpected leather-and-lace combinations, and some coquettish cabaret styles appropriately named Frou Frou.
The Leather and Lace collection, in particular, presents an extremely dramatic look that stretches the definition of what we think of as "lingerie". Those leather corsets will be all the rage in 2012, and the mid-length leather lingerie dress will be tough to beat on this year's best-of lists.
You'd expect such a collection to have BDSM overtones but, in Gaultier's hands, the result is surprisingly feminine, even demure. It's not cheap, though: the ensemble in the photo at the top of this article features a waist cincher ($1,688), balconet bra ($633) and shorts ($563) — or roughly $3,000 for the set.
Gaultier's swimwear collection for La Perla is something else altogether. Architectural shapes and geometric lines are everywhere and, predictably, Gaultier offers at least one corset-inspired one-piece (above photo).
Below we've got a gallery featuring the many of the Créateur lingerie pieces (and their eye-popping prices), followed by the new swim line.

Canadian photographer Malina Corpadean gets an 8-page spread in the February issue of Fashion magazine for this wry, retro-styled editorial series called Spring Cleaning.
The feature is a great showcase for nouveau vintage styles from some contemporary lingerie masters, ranging from Dolce & Gabbana to UK retro label What Katie Did and Canadian stars like Fortnight (above) and Blush.
The Romanian-born Corpadean has done some other memorable lingerie shoots, notably for Canadian retailer Jacob. You can check out more of her work here.
In the meantime, use these looks as a style guide whenever you get around to the spring chores this year. If nothing else, try not to forget the pearls.

Found my Daffodil Birthday Blocks!!
Here they are. Found the blocks but I don't know who sent what. The names pinned to them disappeared. Please let me know who made which block. Thank you.
FYI: These were in a pizza box inside the cabinet. As you can see, smoke got everywhere. If I haven't mentioned it already - smoke stains.
I don't care - I have them. Yippee
That is great you are finding so many of your treasured projects. You can see the stains in the pictures...maybe they will wash out. How are your fabrics the cleaners cleaned...did they wash them or use a dry cleaning method.
I know this is a tremendous job but you are back in your sewing room.
These are back from the cleaners, they washed them. I would image that the toxic mess from everything burning is enough like a dye that it's permanent. I saved the boys old canvas, newspaper route bag cause it's so handy for carrying odd shaped things. I've washed it and it's stained.
That's awesome!
Mine is the wolf howling at the moon.
The smoke stains are "interesting" in a way -- they remind me of the way they do the edges to a treasure map, or other really old paper item to give it that aged look. It will give the quilt a nostalgic appeal...!
DH had put parquet flooring down in the early 90's. He did the living/dining room, all three bedrooms and the upstairs hallway. He also put oak on the upper stairs. The restoration company had to replace it. The new stuff is nice and shiny.
It will be a bit like an antique quilt with the staining! Anyway, it's wonderful that these survived. What other pleasant surprises may be lying in wait for you?

Whipple Supercharger 383 Small Block Chevy Build - Whipple Stomp
Whipple's Small-Block Tuner Kit Turns Our Modest 383 Into A Torque-Busting Maniac

Whipple Supercharger 383 Small Block Chevy Build - Whipple Stomp
Our trusty Speed-O-Motive 383 short-block contains four-bolt mains, a cast crank, forged rods, and Mahle pistons.
Camshaft of choice was a Comp 292XFI, which specs out at 0.584/0.579-inch lift, 242/248 degrees duration at 0.050, and a 113-degree lobe separation angle. Pro Magnum lifters, Magnum pushrods and Ultra Gold rocker arms completed the valvetrain.
Brodix's Wild Thing KC IK210 heads are fully CNC-ported and have great flow characteristics; they also come with a 75cc combustion chamber, which brought us in at a 10:1 compression ratio.
Whipple's tuner kit for carbureted small-blocks is based on a twin-screw compressor. Fit and finish is superior, and the setup delivered massive power gains across the board.
For our force-fed runs, we used a Holley Ultra HP 950 carb with 76/83 jets.
Brodix's Wild Thing KC IK210 heads receive the full CNC treatment, including a worked-over combustion chamber. The 75cc volume put us at a 10:1 compression. Whipple recommends 8.5:1 to 9:1 for this system, but a lot of people who have supercharging on the brain have 10:1 motors. High compression, Dustin agreed, leads to more low-rpm torque. These lungs worked very well in both naturally aspirated and force-inducted guises.
Once we'd peeled away the packing foam, this is what our new Whipple supercharger looked like. It's a complete setup-all we really had to do was install it, pick a belt that fit, and fill the compressor with oil. The whole process only took a couple of hours with our easily accessible, dyno-mounted engine.
The basis of the system is the screw compressor setup, which Whipple claims to be the most efficient setup available. It's hard to tell by looking at it, but the rotors don't actually touch each other or the housing that contains them. This simple fact greatly reduces operating temperatures-and noise. The typical supercharger whine is virtually nonexistent.
The system comes fitted with an air bypass system to reduce drag during all vacuum situations, which Dustin Whipple says includes "virtually all" idle and cruising situations. "The engine is trying to get as much air as possible in these situations," he told us. "But the supercharger becomes restrictive because the throttle blades are closed." The bypass equalizes pressure above and below the supercharger by reducing vacuum on the inlet side, allowing the engine to breathe. "It takes 3 hp to run," Dustin continued, "and you also get better emissions and lower temperatures."
In a separate box we found just about everything else we needed to install our supercharger: bolts, belts, a thermostat housing, a crank-pulley base adapter and crank pulley, and also a carb baseplate that works with both 4150 and Dominator-style carbs. The plate must be drilled to work with any given throttle linkage.
First part of the install was to remove the intake manifold from the rest of the supercharger assembly. We used the same Fel-Pro 1206 intake gaskets we had used for our naturally aspirated configuration and bolted it right into place with the included ARP hardware.
Although the heat buildup in a twin-screw supercharger is low compared to a roots-style system, we took the "everything helps" approach and ordered our system with Whipple's water-to-air intercooler, which is neatly sandwiched between the compressor and the intake manifold. This adds 1 1/2 inch to the height of the assembly and $800 to the tab. Whipple figures it's good for about a 10 percent power gain.
After laying down the supplied gasket on the newly installed intake manifold, our man Steve Brul hefted the rest of the system into place and began bolting it down, using a bit of antisieze on each bolt.
Once the system was bolted down, Brul replaced the bolts for the pulley system support braces and tightened them down. It's a good idea to make sure all the bolts in this area are secure.
We then installed the crank-pulley base adapter and the supplied 7-inch crank pulley (other diameters are available). A longer-than-stock balancer bolt is needed to accommodate the width added by the base adapter.
With the crank pulley in place, we pulled back on the belt tensioner and slipped in the appropriate-length belt. We obviously didn't run any accessories on the dyno, but the Whipple setup will work with both Billet Specialties and March serpentine belt systems as well as traditional V-belt systems.
We were able to plumb the water-to-air intercooler through the dyno's cooling system. For installation in a vehicle, a heat exchanger/reservoir-essentially a miniature radiator-would be needed. It costs about $600 for a nice setup.
Although we got great results with the 4.750-inch pulley our system came equipped with, we couldn't resist the urge to test the limits of our 383 test-mule, so we installed a 4.50-inch wheel followed by a 4.25-incher. Each 1/4-inch, according to Whipple, amounts to change in boost of about a 11/2 psi. The boost levels reported here were recorded on the dyno.
In the end, our fairly mild small-block survived the supercharged crucible we put it through, and we came away absolutely floored by the stump-pulling torque-not to mention the stunning horsepower-achieved by the Whipple supercharger. We were impressed by the twin-screw system's output-and that's an understatement.

I haven't seen Plaid live since I saw them perform in a hanger on a NASA base as part of the 2007 Bay Area Yuri's Night. After their top notch set, I randomly bumped into them and the guys had me take photos of them on their personal camera posing in front of the various aircraft and space technology exhibits on display around the event. It's good to see them touring again, though I'm still not going to 1015.

I am not very stoked about free shows since they are first come first served. They should just do $5 and then you won't have to get there early and stand in line.
Also, I am extremely excited about the Erasure I was so bummed on the timing of the last one. When I saw them in 2004 or 2005 at Avalon, it was one of the best shows I had ever seen.

So Elbow wasn't half bad and I kinda of liked it .Most of mellow songs were muttered and I never heard the songs before so it's kinda hard for me to follow lyrically yet the band was really good. Certain songs that took off were what I could tell might be why a lot of people like Elbow.The strings add a lot to their sound. Before the encore the singer said they wouldn't do a encore unless the crowd would sing to them which Flambottom girl was chosen by a audience memeber and the band with the audience practiced. ..too bad the audience didn't sing it for encore I Would of been Shocked If it Had Happen THAT way.Regardless the band did come out for two songs as the encore.One thing that bothered me was how much crowd participation the singer kept asking for.

Panda Bear can be really hit/miss live - I didn't like his show a few years ago at FYF since it sounded like he was playing 3 songs at the same time, but last nite's show was more cohesive and I really enjoyed it. The new material made up 90% of the show and it was very danceable for the most part. Really looking forward to the new album, especially "Dark Cloud" and "Can't Go Back".

Live from CVC Central: Management panel discusses personnel griefs
Saturday night at CVC Central, management experts Denise Tumblin, Marianne Mallonee, and Monica Dixon Perry fielded questions from the audience on generational conflict in their practices—and launched some general personnel questions as well. Here are some of the questions CVC attendees asked, along with the panelists' responses:
Q: How do I, as a manager, motivate an "old guard" doctor to recognize the value of praise and positive feedback for team members?
A: This is a situation that calls for constant coaching and feedback with the doctor. Veterans and baby boomers are motivated by knowing what's in it for them, so if you explain to them that employee praise benefits the practice financially and them personally, you might see them begin to change. Also, offering praise to the doctor him- or herself might demonstrate how nice it is to be recognized for a job well done.
Q: I recently promoted a stellar technician into a management position, but she's floundering. What do I do?
A: First of all, for future reference, make sure you sit down with an employee before any promotion and discuss your expectations for the new position. A clear job description is essential, as is a trial period in which you both see how the transition will work out. The deed is already done in your case, but you still need to craft a job description that spells out the duties of this new position.
Meet with the employee to make sure she understands your expectations, then monitor how well she fulfills them over the next 30, 60, or 90 days. At the end of this period, if she's still not succeeding, she will need to revert back to her former position, along with the pay scale that is appropriate at that level. Of course, she may leave if this happens—but she may actually be relieved if she's miserable as a manager.
Q: I've been discovering hundreds of dollars' worth of missed charges in our invoices, and I've narrowed the main culprits down to one associate doctor and one receptionist. What's the best way to approach these two?
A: It sounds like you've already done a good share of the work—becoming aware of the problem and identifying the offenders. You need to meet with this doctor and this receptionist and bring the problem to their attention, then incorporate a plan to remedy the situation. If, after a predetermined amount of time, you don't see any improvement, your practice might not be the best place for these employees.

Synacor Inc. continued showing signs of an incremental return to growth in its most recent earnings release, posting its second-highest ever quarterly revenue and beating previous expectations on full-year revenue.
A group of disgruntled Synacor Inc. shareholders has nominated three people to the tech company's board of directors, a move that could have long-term consequences if successful.
Hover Networks, a boutique voice and data firm founded in 2009, is reaching a key inflection point as the business continues to grow.
Buffalo isn't a hotbed for Fortune 500 headquarters or a flourishing ecosystem for start-up companies.
As earnings season kicks off, here are a few storylines to watch for with three Western New York-based public companies.
George Chamoun's head is in the clouds. Cloud-based companies, that is.
Those who stayed with domestic sectors were generally satisfied with their returns in 2014 — while international markets did not realize the growth many expected at the beginning of the year.
For one late October week in Buffalo, when the region's entrepreneurs and innovators gathered for an exhaustive stream of events, almost every conversation came back to attitude.
Synacor Inc. saw revenue and net income slide again in the third quarter — though the results did beat expectations and led to increased guidance for the fiscal year.
Earnings season began Monday amidst optimism for the U.S. economy – and dimmer prospects in Europe and China.
Buffalo's tech community has grown substantially in recent years, and now it's banding together to assist laid-off Synacor Inc. employees find new positions.
The back-and-forth between Synacor Inc. and disgruntled investors continues, as the latter issued a public letter to Synacor's board of directors.
One day after a round of layoffs, the company's board issued a collective statement in response to shareholders who have been pushing for aggressive action, including board turnover, cost cutting, and the exploration of a sale.

From: Sedona, AZ
Region: Southwest
Topic: Drought Tolerant, Privacy Screening, Shrubs
Title: Low water hedge for Sedona, AZ
Answered by: Amy Johnson
QUESTION:I'm looking for a shrub to plant along a 90' property line with my neighbor in Sedona, Arizona (high desert). Ideally, the shrub would grow to about 8' and would not require too much water. What would you recommend, and how many plants would I need to cover the 90' (growing to be a hedge that would completely block my neighbor's yard/house)? Thanks.
There are a few native shrubs for your area that would get to about the size you are looking for: Mountain Mahogany Cercocarpus montanus (alderleaf mountain mahogany), Red Oregon Grape Mahonia haematocarpa (red barberry), and One-seed Juniper Juniperus monosperma (oneseed juniper). The first is mostly evergreen, the second two are fully evergreen. Since they are all native to upland sites in your area, they should require less water, although all plants need water for the first year or so at least when you first plant them to establish their root systems. To create a hedge, you may want to try to plant these relatively close together, and how closely you space them of course affects how many you will need. Follow the directions given from the nursery for whichever plant you buy. If you plant them five feet apart, you will need about 18 shrubs. Just take your 90' length, and divide it by the spacing you decide to use to get the number of shrubs required.
There are some alternatives to a hedge you may want to consider, since it will take a little while for the shrubs to grow to 8 feet. You could build a fence and grow vines on it. You could also plant a few trees in combination with either the vines or some slightly shorter shrubs, say 5 feet high or so. You could also build a berm, or a mounded area, ranging from 1-3 feet at the highest point, and then plant shrubs, trees or vines on top of that. The more layers of different size plants you use, the more completely your view will be screened. If you would like to explore some planting alternatives for your area, you can go to this link: Arizona Recommended Species, and narrow your search by the type of plant you are looking for.

Bogota and a few more.....
Here are some pictures of my Bogota that is blooming currently..it is well rooted in a tiny pot so I will most likely try to get some seeds from it. I'm thinking Exotic Star for one and maybe Party Pooper on another..one already got selfed, I didn't remove the pollen quickly enough..and that leaves one more flower...??
here is Julia from my first Maguire's order still healthy and the second time it has bloomed...
and Harbor Lights..I really liked this one the first time it has bloomed for me..
and Russian Halo sans halo, I wasn't too impressed with this one...
and a third scape from Valerie Maree with once again 4 flowers.. a very strong and vigirous bulb
and Pink Panther..again not a favorite, an absolutely huge bloom good color but rather misshappen and blousy..
and finally, Elaine Grace, not as pretty as the first time she bloomed, but not too bad, I guess
Thanks for looking,
