Would anyone be interested in doing a quality plant exchange this spring on Vancouver Island. I live in Qualicum Beach. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Doreen what are you looking for? I am in Errington. Cheers Marj. |

Hi Marj, I am fairly new here and putting together a garden. I was surprised that there are not many perennial exchanges going on. I have a ton of pink dahlias and it broke my heart to compost another ton of irises. |
Hi Doreen No I am not with the garden club I have lots of hosta and Daylilies. Also rosemary if you want to try cuttings. I am growing more veggies and going out of flowers. |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 16:30
Hi Thank you I would love some rosemary. I am also getting more into veg and edibles. Is there anything you are looking for? Doreen |
I'm in Nanoose and have a friend in Cedar. Calamity Jane who'd also like to trade some perenials. I've got some allium, a couple types of mint, geraniums, daisies, oregano, and basil. Quite a few more flowers. I'd love some pink dahlias, or any color but red and yellow. Really like the idea of trading for a few different things. I'm not a member of any local club. Cindy |
Hi Cindy we have traded before a few years back How are you? Shall we do this trade swap in early May? I also have lots of Heirloom veggie seeds. |
Hi Marj, I remember a trade before. I am doing fine. I'd love to do a trade in early May. Let me put my thinking cap on to make up a list and I'll talk to Calamity Jane as well. how are you doing? Cindy |

Hey!!! I'm in! I am actually heading out this morning to the Seedy Saturday! I have some nice yummy garlic chives and oregano, I have raspberry pixie daylily, and a ton of purple primrose! |

Hello Sorry I haven't been on lately. Klinger just let me know how many hundred pink dahlia you need I am sure I can deliver. I also have an overabundance of bergenia and garden pinks aka dianthus looking for a home. As you can see I am overwhelmed by pink things in my garden. I will probably have some other items coming up in Mar. Apr. that would like to be divided. Doreen |

Is anyone interested in some ever bearing raspberries? I have about 25. |
I would LOVE to participate in a plant or seed exchange this Spring! I won't have much to trade this year, being that I've just moved and had to leave most of my plants behind, but I am constantly looking for things. (You composted irises? I'd have LOVED to have some.) IF anyone has plants they want to get rid of, ask me, I love perennial flowers and berry bushes. I can trade seed (Once I get my list updated) or I can trade other things (I make handmade jewelry, would be willing to do custom or repair work. I also do simple haircuts, and some sewing work.) Let me know if this gets off the ground or if I am too late! Thanks! Mishi/Michelle/Scribblez |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 4, 13 at 16:17
Hi Mishi I have alot of dahlias pink, about 5' they are common but really nice filler. I also have a goose berry bush that is ready to go at any time plus a few raspberries left. No worries I just would prefer they found a place to grow. It was a shame about the irises. You can e-mail me direct at derobertson(at)hotmail.com. I haven't heard much from anyone else lately so it may have fizzled. It would be great to have enough people to create an annual tailgate meeting. |
Hi, let's not let this fizzle.I've just returned from a holiday. I'm sure Jane is still in also. I'd love some pink dahlias. My email adress is csquires(at)shaw.ca .I'll do a wander around and see what else I have, but I know I have extra iris, so can for sure pass on some of those. Cindy |
Doreen: I can't remember if I've emailed you back or not. I've been sick with a tonsil infection and everything is kind of fuzzy (Pain meds and all) If I haven't got back to you can you let me know? I'm really interested in the plants you've offered :) |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 10, 13 at 4:38
Hi I did get your message and am happy to pass some things along. I am not too worried about exchange but some trades are always nice. I am mainly looking for clumpers and small shrubs. I tried to post a couple of days ago but it did not go up. Sorry about that., Hope you are feeling better. I will be away from Apr. 16-27 so any time is good. |
HI i am still here If everyone wants to meet at my place in Errington you are all welcome I have tons of daylilies to go also some hostas and who know what else I also have tons of seeds. How about the first week in May?? Marj |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 12, 13 at 0:55
Hi Marj May sounds great to me. I will be out of the country until the end of Apr. so I could use a few days to get organized. This also means I will be seeding late. Do you have a list of things you are looking for? If anyone is looking for something in particular please post it up because I would hate to miss bringing at least a piece if I have some. My plants have rarely been fertilized and will not be fertilized further but they are in happy soil. I 'm taking the organic master gardener course so am changing my ways. I was usually too lazy to fertilize anyway but it turns out that was a good thing. Cheers |
Ok Lets plan this for Sat. May11 between 1 - 3 If you wish to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com I will give you my addy and directions. Hope you can all help relieve me of some of the Daylilies that need new homes. I also have Hostas and some other plants Cheers Marj |
That sounds good, I'll let Jane know and we'll come up with a list of stuff we have extra of . We'd love some daylilies and pink dahlias for sure. cindy |
Are we still on for the 11 of May??? I have a few Curly willow trees and some garry oaks. Would love some pink dahlias Cheers Marj |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 31, 13 at 23:37
I am good for the 11th. I notice that the dahlias are wanting to sprout so will put some in a pot to make sure they get a start for you. Look forward to meeting up Cheers Doreen |
Ok is anyone going to come out on the 11 of May? the Address is 1269 Fraser Road Errington. Come down Errington Road to Matterson (right turn) then a left turn on to Fraser. (a no through road) Cheers Marj |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 2, 13 at 11:58
Sounds great. What time is good for you? The dahlias are just starting to show some leaf. Can anyone let me know if they want Dianthus Berginia Iris 1 gallon pots I will also bring the extra everbearing raspberries I have I guess when we meet up we can find out more about who wants what and make arrangements to pass back and forth. Cheers Doreen |
I think between 1 and 3 I would like some of your plants don't need gallon pots I have over 1000 no kiddung and would like to get rid of a few hundred. I have bronze fennel curly willow red weigelia daylilies michelmas daisies (think I spelt that wrong) fox gloves still have to seperate the hosta's Also have pool plant forget me not's Looking forward to meeting you Cheers Marj |
Jane and I are still in, I'll figure out we are going to bring and let you know. Look forward to meeting you and getting some new plants. Cindy |

What a great time. We must do it again maybe in the fall hint hint. By then I should have my garden of weedin cleaned up. Thanks for all the goodies. And the laughs so good to put faces to names Must remember the rooting hormone what a great idea. |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Sun, May 12, 13 at 2:16
No hot flashes in my garden! I have jar for soft tissue and one for hard (woody) it lasts forever so when we meet up again I will be happy to make up some little packets. Handy stuff for sure. I would love to do this again any time. I will probably have some astilbe and keep my eye out for good traders. Happy planting! |
I just found your happy little group and although I'm too late for this plant exchange, I would be happy to join in on a late fall one. I will pot up some shrubs etc. in case you will have it. (Ever bearing raspberries sound great.) |
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Sun, May 19, 13 at 12:06
Oh Gee Is a glorius day here in Ontario and I have my fiine grandson Zack out here helpiing me do some chores |
Sorry I was unable to make it, I had no way of getting all the way up island (I live in the Greater Victoria area) If we do one in the fall, I'll try to get there! If we could do it a little further south this time I'd appreciate it too since I don't have a car and would have to beg for the use of my mother-in-law's car to get to the exchange. I'm even willing to host the plant exchange at my place if everyone else is able to get down to Victoria, or I could carpool with someone else going up island. |
Oh Scribblez Sorry you couldn,t come if you would have emailed me I had a friend from Victoria staying for a week she went home yesterday I could have loaded up her car for you. Send me your Address and if she is up in the next little while I will send some things for you. Cheers Marj |

Hi Patsyann I still have some raspberries. I live in Qualicum they would love a bright sunny home let me know. I could add in some irises and a couple of dahlias. I am growing on some other things for the fall fun. It really was a neat little meet-up. Marj I still have the dahlias. They are still in the ground and coming up nicely for you. Sorry I have taken so long my laptop (life) crashed and had to be replaced and then rain and then I finally got a job and on and on. I am going on a tour Thursday and hope to have them to you by the end of the week-end. They had some lovely jalapeño cheese bread at the farm market I discovered on Errington Rd. Yum. |
His I a marvelous group. I am in Nanoose Bay and am sorry I missed this plant swap. I am always separating plants as they need to be divided and hate to throw them away. Alas, I end up with an area with plants for future homes. Right now I believe I have Darmera (Peltaphyllum), Eupatorium (Joe Pie Weed), Brugmansia, some Calla lily juvenilles in pots (large yellow flower/w spotted leaves). May have something else, have to check. Rick |
Hi Rick, too bad you missed us, it was great. We all got some real treasures. I'm also in Nanoose, I'd love some Joe Pie Weed.Perhaps we could swap a cple things? I don't see how to contact you so hope you see this. Cindy |

Good afternoon everyone. I'm new to this forum but not the area. I live in Lantzville and have a lot of plants available for trade. I live the the farm at the corner of Superior and the Highway. There are two horses in our field that people see as they drive by. I creating a small nursury but not really interested in selling plants yet so willing to trade what I have. I'm working on a list of plants but going from memory I have the following. Most of them are in 1 gal pots. I'll post the list when I have it. I'm looking for more shade plants for the gardens |
Here is a link that might be useful: Our website
- Posted by diane_v_44 Z6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 12, 13 at 8:36
Looked at your web site You have done some very fine work and for sure a great deal of work Every success |
Hi Don, I know where you are, drive by lots. I checked your website. Looks like lots of projects on the go. Couldn't see a list of your plants though. You've beautiful property. Cindy |
I'll work on the list this weekend and post it here and on the website. Busy installing another 300' of fence in the pasture for the next few days. After work of course. |
You're a busy guy! I'll be off camping for the weekend, I'll check back in next week. Cheers Cindy |
Nice to see some new names on our list We will have to do a swap for sure in the fall. Cheers Marj |
Hi Cindy, I do not frequent this page regularly, but glad to see there are others in area as well as the whole Island and surrounding areas. You should be able to send an email? I have been collecting and starting plants for some time and frequent another website, but most people are from the U.S. and it is not possible to trade plant material. My recent addiction for the past few years has been Succulents. Mainly Adeniums (desert rose) and Pachypodiums. All considered fat plants. I would love to take part in a plant swap/trade in the Fall. |
Just a follow up here is a list of the plants that we have currently in pots ready to go. I think this is most of them. So drop me a line if you wish to drop by and swap. Laurel 1 gal Don |
Hi, Rick I don't see a contact email for you, would you mind sending me one? I would like some joe pie weed. If you are into succulents I do have Kalanchoe daigremontiana . Just gave away a few other succulents I had. Don, I'd be interested in in some sage, and oriental poppies, what sort of things are you looking for? Cindy |
I'm looking for shade plants. We have a lot of fruit trees, maple, chestnut, lilac and other trees that I'm building gardens under. Or any perennial. |
Hello everyone! I just found this thread. I'm from the greater Victoria area. It's so nice to see others on here who live on the island. I don't have anything to trade right now unless someone wants a bucket of iris pallida ssp pallida rhizomes. Next year, I might be ready to trade something more substantial, so I hope everyone gets together again! Maria |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 31, 13 at 20:10
Hi Just thought I would touch base. Really looking forward to some rain. I started working so have not been on. My schedule has settled somewhat now. I am starting to look around my garden for trades for the fall. Hope everyone has been having a great summer. Cheers Doreen |
Hi Doreen What a dry summer we have had but I must say the Dahlia's are doing great I ended up with a nice selection of colours. I will be down for two or three weeks then I will start potting things up. Hope everyone had a great summer. Cheers Marj |
Hi all, I'm hoping we can do another swap this fall. I've got to work a lot of weekends but I have Sunday Oct 27th off, I'd be happy to have every one met at my place in Nanoose that day. Don't know if that's too late in the fall for everyone or just right. I've got some red and yellow dahlia tubers, orange crocomosia, purple iris, perrenial geraniums, cuttings from a versicolor brug and impatiens niamenasis. hostas. I'm sure there will be more, I want to thin and move a few things. Cheers Cindy |
I have not taken part in your plant trade/swap, but wouldn't mind taking part if space allows. I could make it on weekends if this is what you choose. Have many things in garden to share and will list a few things if you do go ahead with it. Always needing to divide and make room. Rick |
Hi, Rick, I think more is good for a plant swap.We end up with a bigger selection then.Hopefully this will be as good as the spring one. Cindy |
Hi Cindy Thanks for offering to host the fall swap I am recovering from surgery but will be happy to try to get some things together. I will mark the date and keep checking in at this page. Looking forward to seeing every one. Marj |
A swap on October 27th sounds great. I have over 800 plants available so I'll have to bring a smaller sample. :-) |
My next door neighbor is an avid gardener and she would like to take part? With this plant swap/exchange. Do we post what we might have so that individuals may choose on this site prior to the Oct. date or do we just bring along everything we have? I may have many to share, but not necessarily needing to receive that much. Sounds like a nice event. Sharing plants is what it is all about. Thanks, Rick |
I have a few hundred 1 gallon plastic pots is anyone would like them Marj |
- Posted by calamity_j z7bc (My Page) on Tue, Sep 24, 13 at 15:48
So glad we are doing this again, it was so fun to see/meet everyone last time!! I will look around and see what I will bring to the table... |

I would like to get some: Rick |
Hi Rick, you have a big list! I'd really like cuttings of your 3 brugs, I'd lost all my various cuttings last winter and am down to just the 1 versicolor, you might like a cutting of it , goes yellow to pink. The other unusual plant I have is the I patience niamenasis, and the mother of millions. I'd also like Joe pye weed and primula, and hellebore. I might have some sedums you'd like, you can look at them and see, I don't know the names of them anymore. Cheers, Cindy |

Cindy, You are welcome to cuttings off the Brugmansia!'s and I may have them potted up by the meet. The primula, Helleborus and Joe Pye Weed also. I wouldn't mind a cutting from your Brugmansia, decorative grass and Sedums if you have any low growing or variegated forms. |
Hi Rick, I'll pot up a brug cutting for you. Do you prefer a larger or smaller one? I've a couple low growing sedums I'll pot up and grasses. Cheers Cindy |
Cindy, Thank you. If you mean large, being a thicker branch? Yes, I think the thicker branches take better than tip growth. Anything works though. I am going to bring most of what I have on list as I have them in pots now. |
Hi Rick, my brug is around 7 feet tall in a pot, I can cut you a piece several feet long if you like. I have a fair amount of low growing sedum, do you want quite a bit or just a few pots worth? Cindy |
Hello everyone, It is Oct 10th/2013 and have not seen much activity on this thread? Do people just bring along what they have available or only what is requested? Rick |
Hi, Rick, I don't,t know that there are any rules for this. I hope a few people turn up, I spoke to Jane today and she is coming for sure. In the spring we brought what was requested and I think we all brought a few extra things we had extra of. Marj then kindly allowed us to dig up things she had in her garden.Is your neighbor still coming? Are there specific things they would like? Cindy |
I am just going to bring what plants I have and if anyone wants to take them they are welcome to them. You have to watch one or two, they are like sharks at a feeding frenzy(ha ha). I have some shrubs such as Alberta Saskatoons and white butterfly bush more daylilies and some other odds and ends. |
Wolfcub, Not sure if it is politically correct, but I would love a Saskatoon bush? I will do the same and bring what I have as I do not necessarily care if I get much. Just nice to share around with others. Rick |
- Posted by Doreen5050 8 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 12:21
Hi All I am still trying to get the time off for the exchange. I have a friend who is just starting a garden and would ike to bring her along. I have a few days off this week so will get my list on of things I can bring and have been looking over list of things people are looking for in the hope I might have something. Marj I hope your surgery went well and you are feeling well. Happy Thanksgiving and I am really looking forward to getting together again. Cheers Doreen |
Hi, Doreen, I hope you can make it. Please do bring your friend. Marj, I could use maybe 15-20 pots if you still have lots. Looking forward to this. Cindy |
It is Oct 19th (Sat). Is this plant swap going to proceed next Sunday Oct 27th? Have not seen too many posting and was thinking maybe not a lot of interest? Hope it's still on. Rick |
Could I have your address again Cindy thanks Marj |
Hi Marj, I sent you an email with directions and address, did you get it? Jane is unable to come and haven't heard confirmation from Doreen yet. Rick is coming. Rick did you get the email with my address? See you Sunday. Cindy |
Hi Marj, I sent you an email with directions and address, did you get it? Jane is unable to come and haven't heard confirmation from Doreen yet. Rick is coming. Rick did you get the email with my address? See you Sunday. Cindy |
Cindy, I did get your email. Added other thread hoping that maybe someone new might see it and want to be involved. A friend of mine is going to come with me and she is going to bring a few things along also. Not sure what, but could be a surprise. She has quite a superb garden. Rick |

Hi All I would really like to come I don't have a firm answer from Jeannie so may be on my own. What time are you meeting and can I get some directions? |
Hi Cindy No I haven't got your address or directions would like them please. Thanks Marj |
Hi, the address is 1594 Marina Way in Nanoose. Go down Northwest Bay Road to Claudet, Claudet turns into Marina Way, go another block and you'll see my address. My phone number is 1-250-821-1111.See you tomorow.1-3 Cindy |
Thank you Cindy for hosting our little get together. Once again everyone left with smiles on their faces. Thanks to Doreen for offering to host our spring trade. Nice to meet the new folks. Cheers Marj |
Thank you to Cindy for opening up your place for this event. What a wonderful and friendly group of people and so generous with their plants. I think I will be busy, especially finding new homes for the numerous Daylilies from Marj. Thank you Marj and I look forward to watching the Saskatoon bushes grow. I think Cindy's yard may be just as full after she replants what she dug out. Thank you all for letting me be a part of it. Doreen, I hope that I can take part in the spring one. Please send a note through email so that I do not miss it, if you do not mind? Rick |

Great fun yesterday. I was so happy with my trades I put them in as soon as I got home. Jeannie was delighted. Cindy I have a few lavender for you (little sprouts here and there) so will collect them and nurture. The one I has with me was only in my garden for this season after plucking it from between paving stones and potting up. In the spring I will have a better list as work is now getting more organized and easier to manage. In the mean time I look forward to a chat here and there. Love that little studio and all your concrete work! Cheers |
Hi Doreen, the trade was fun, by the next day I had all but a couple in their new homes. I'd love a few more lavender, the deer should leave them alone, How big should I expect that to get? Glad your work is getting more under control,perhaps a coffee visit would be nice sometime. The cement work is fun but heavy and dirty , not like knitting,lol. I have a few projects in my head waiting for time to execute. Cindy |

Hi Cindy I usually trim my lavender down to 2' x 2' and it doesn't take long for them to get there. Apparently they germinate well in in between pavement stones and the bees love them. The deer also stayed away from my sage, rosemary and thyme. |

Hi All I missed this spring. Work seems to be getting the better of my time. The price of commuting is forcing me to move into Nanaimo so have found a condo there. I guess it is balcony gardening from here on in. It was really great trading with everyone and getting to know you. Do you think I can grow roses on a balcony? Hmmm. Wishing you all a great summer.

Here is a look at some crowd pleasers.
Events include ArtsPower National Touring Theatre's "The Rainbow Fish" at Freedom Hall in Park Forest.
'The Rainbow Fish'
ArtsPower National Touring Theatre, which is billed as one of the United States' preeminent producers of professional theater for young and family audiences, will bring the national touring musical of Marcus Pfister's "The Rainbow Fish" to Freedom Hall in Park Forest.
The performance will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 15. The show runs approximately an hour in length.
With her lovely coloring and shimmering scales, the Rainbow Fish is used to being the most beautiful creature in the ocean. So when the other fish ask her for some silver scales, she refuses. How can she sacrifice the one thing that makes her so unique?
Will some good advice from the wise old Octopus persuade the Rainbow Fish to share her gifts with those around her?
"ArtsPower has turned Pfister's best-selling book into a delightful and touching musical about the value of sharing true friendship with others," officials said.
"The Rainbow Fish" was adapted for the stage by ArtsPower's artistic director Greg Gunning.
Identical twins Mark and Gary Blackman founded ArtsPower in 1985 and have been steering its course ever since.
The troupe's 26 original, professional touring productions have been seen by more than 11 million
people in 47 states — from Alaska to Florida — in some of the nation's top regional theaters, university auditoriums and cultural centers including the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York.
Tickets for "The Rainbow Fish" are $8 and can be purchased at Freedom Hall, 410 Lakewood Blvd., Park Forest.
Information: (708) 747-0580 or freedomhall.org.

"Union Street Gallery presents 25 of Michael Goro's incredibly detailed, large-scale intaglio prints including new works that have never been shown before and images from preparatory stages of his printmaking process," officials said.
"USG provides many supplemental explanations of techniques, interviews with Michael in which he talks about his subjects and printing routines, and reviews of his works from various other exhibits that should add to an appreciation for his skill and creative vision.
"Michael is a contemporary artist and educator who has been widely recognized as a master printmaker. His engravings and etchings have been exhibited in Europe and Asia as well as all over the United States, and he has won prestigious awards. "His dense, content-filled engravings and etchings often combine architectural or urban images with figurative references, juxtaposing historical and contemporary content."
"Josh Bindewald & Christopher Cannon: Upgrade & Breakdown" also is on display to Feb. 16.
"Union Street Gallery presents an exhibit of printmaking and mixed media art that addresses humankind's propensity to upgrade and break down the world around us," officials said.
"Employing diverse and dense printmaking techniques and using graphic imagery of hard edges and stripped landscapes, Bindewald and Cannon explore our dependence on technology, our habitual accretion and excavation of our environment, and the social and physical consequences."

Their wider success was assured with "B4 Organ," the first great virtual instrument modeled on classic drawbar and tone-wheel technology. Read More>

Its eternal springtime makes it very attractive. Situated in the middle of a magnificent bay, the Conca d'Oro, facing the blue Mediterranean Sea, amid luxurious tropical vegetation and surrounded by a crown of limestone mounts, Palermo shows marvellous scenery.
The place of Quattro Canti, the municipal palace and, nearby, the church of la Martorana, is an unsual example of medieval arabic art with its typical cupola.
The Massimo theatre has been restaured recently and has recovered the purity of its original Liberty style. One of the main theatres of Sicily, it has a very good program of special events, mostly operas.

The Volt's design incorporates a wider whale tail section with a broader nose. This allows the rider to move back on the saddle to bear down on the pedals and to sit on the nose more comfortably when sliding to the front of the saddle. The love channel and comfort zone help alleviate unwanted pressure during the ride. The Team version features titanium rails, dna padding and Kevlar corners to shave off 17 grams(claimed) over the Pro version.

Comments about WTB Volt Team Saddle:
The Volt is Comfortable. Definetly different from my Specialized Phenom. The Volts nose sweeps down more and it's a smaller saddle than the Phenom in width & length. I feel I can easily get my body back behind the seat on decents on the Volt and my shorts don't hang up on the nose when I move forward on the seat.The phenom wasn't "that" uncomfortable but it lacks the details in regards to being able to move around on the seat.

Comments about WTB Volt Team Saddle:
As comfortable a saddle as I've found and at a nice weight, less than 200g. I couldn't find the Specialized Format SL anymore, so I gave this one a try. I got lucky. My butt hated the WTB Silverado, but gets along well with the Volt. I've ridden 5+ hr rides on it and it's as comfortable as the Pure V to me.

Great minds think alike, Elle!Originally Posted by elle
I'm seriously thinking of becoming a stalker--as if he didn't have enough guys tailing him without me l
Those pictures are great. He is just so beautiful.
Someone asked me once how I could know that I'm gay if I've never slept with a woman. I've never shoved shards of glass into my eye, either, but I don't have to give it a shot to know that it's not for me.
i think its because he sweats a lot, like by the third or fourth game even his hat is dripping with sweat...i bet it just makes things cleaner, i dont know for sure but its god damn sexy!Originally Posted by Dashriprock3172
Maybe it's in his lacoste contractOriginally Posted by Dashriprock3172
he was shaving in january 05 a little before he went with lacoste in may
speaking of lacoste he's andy's ad....sorry its in 2 parts, i didnt scan it myself
from last years us open...since this years just started lets celebrate with an awesome angle or two?
The Gym, NY's gay sports bar, is showing the US Open broadcasts on its gigantic TV screens
Andy's first match is 7:00 PM, Tuesday, August 30,
against Gilles Mueller
I caught the Agassi - Sabau match this evening, and frankly, Andre is getting really old looking
Gym Sports Bar
167 8th Avenue (bet 18th & 19th Streets)
People's Republic of Chelsea
he is out in the us open, wow!
i dont know what to say......
i still love you andy, just stop acting like as big of an ass as you got attached to your backside...huh?
I don't think he was much of an ass. Sure he was upset at himself but wasn't treating those around him in a bad way.
A-rod is 1 of my fav tennis players and all i can say is this, He better have already called Brad Gilbert to take him back right after that match!! This new coach of his is only taking him down. I still can't understand how A-rod could have fired one of the best coach around who was training him in the right way so he could win. Sure, he wasn't winning against Federer back then, but i atleast prefer seeing him lose to Federer instead of to unknowns.
all im saying is:
....andy is not a loser, so.........
There's always next year - or the next stop on the pro tour
Keep smiling, Elle
It's not the end of the world - or the end of Andy's tennis career
im keeping my head up...hope andy is doin' the same...he's had some really horrific losses this year and this one broke my heart.
then again he's hotter than most so he's still a winner in my book.
*by the way MY BOOK is BIG and SUPERFICIAL
Do you think it was the strain of opening the lacoste boutique at Macy's?
Too much excitement in one week can throw anyone's game off kilter
I dislike Federer, maybe he is just too perfect.
yeah he is dreamier.Originally Posted by dickysdicky

Jeremiah is directed to go to Gedaliah. (1-6) A conspiracy against Gedaliah. (7-16)
Verses 1-6 The captain of the guard seems to glory that he had been God's instrument to fulfil, what Jeremiah had been God's messenger to foretell. Many can see God's justice and truth with regard to others, who are heedless and blind as to themselves and their own sins. But, sooner or later, all men shall be made sensible that their sin is the cause of all their miseries. Jeremiah has leave to dispose of himself; but is advised to go to Gedaliah, governor of the land under the king of Babylon. It is doubtful whether Jeremiah acted right in this decision. But those who desire the salvation of sinners, and the good of the church, are apt to expect better times from slight appearances, and they will prefer the hope of being useful, to the most secure situations without it.
Verses 7-16 Jeremiah had never in his prophecies spoken of any good days for the Jews, to come immediately after the captivity; yet Providence seemed to encourage such an expectation. But how soon is this hopeful prospect blighted! When God begins a judgment, he will complete it. While pride, ambition, or revenge, bears rule in the heart, men will form new projects, and be restless in mischief, which commonly ends in their own ruin. Who would have thought, that after the destruction of Jerusalem, rebellion would so soon have sprung up? There can be no thorough change but what grace makes. And if the miserable, who are kept in everlasting chains for the judgment of the great day, were again permitted to come on earth, the sin and evil of their nature would be unchanged. Lord, give us new hearts, and that new mind in which the new birth consists, since thou hast said we cannot without it see thy heavenly kingdom.
Jeremiah 40:1-16 . JEREMIAH IS SET FREE AT RAMAH, AND GOES TO GEDALIAH, TO WHOM THE REMNANT OF JEWS REPAIR. JOHANAN WARNS GEDALIAH OF ISHMAEL'S CONSPIRACY IN VAIN.
1. word that came--the heading of a new part of the book (the forty-first through forty-fourth chapters), namely, the prophecies to the Jews in Judea and Egypt after the taking of the city, blended with history. The prophecy does not begin till Jeremiah 42:7 , and the previous history is introductory to it.
bound in chains--Though released from the court of the prison city he seems to have been led away in chains with the other captives, and not till he reached Ramah to have gained full liberty. Nebuzara-dan had his quarters at Ramah, in Benjamin; and there he collected the captives previous to their removal to Babylon ( Jeremiah 31:15 ). He in releasing Jeremiah obeyed the king's commands ( Jeremiah 39:11 ). Jeremiah's "chains" for a time were due to the negligence of those to whom he had been committed; or else to Nebuzara-dan's wish to upbraid the people with their perverse ingratitude in imprisoning Jeremiah [CALVIN]; hence he addresses the people (ye . . . you) as much as Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 40:2 Jeremiah 40:3 ).
2. The Babylonians were in some measure aware, through Jeremiah's prophecies ( Jeremiah 39:11 ), that they were the instruments of God's wrath on His people.
Jews as well as to Jeremiah. God makes the very heathen testify for Him against them ( Deuteronomy 29:24 Deuteronomy 29:25 ).4. look well unto thee--the very words of Nebuchadnezzar's charge ( Jeremiah 39:12 ).
all the land is before thee . . . seemeth good--( Genesis 20:15 , Margin). Jeremiah alone had the option given him of staying where he pleased, when all the rest were either carried off or forced to remain there.
5. while he was not yet gone back--parenthetical. When Jeremiah hesitated whether it would be best for him to go, Nebuzara-dan proceeded to say, "Go, then, to Gedaliah," (not as English Version, "Go back, also"), if thou preferrest (as Nebuzara-dan inferred from Jeremiah's hesitancy) to stop here rather than go with me.
victuals--( Isaiah 33:16 ).
reward--rather, "a present." This must have been a seasonable relief to the prophet, who probably lost his all in the siege.
6. Mizpah--in Benjamin, northwest of Jerusalem ( Jeremiah 41:5 Jeremiah 41:6 Jeremiah 41:9 ). Not the Mizpah in Gilead, beyond Jordan ( Judges 10:17 ). Jeremiah showed his patriotism and piety in remaining in his country amidst afflictions and notwithstanding the ingratitude of the Jews, rather than go to enjoy honors and pleasures in a heathen court ( Hebrews 11:24-26 ). This vindicates his purity of motive in his withdrawal ( Jeremiah 37:12-14 ).
7. captains . . . in the fields--The leaders of the Jewish army had been "scattered" throughout the country on the capture of Zedekiah ( Jeremiah 52:8 ), in order to escape the notice of the Chaldeans.
8. Netophathite--from Netophah, a town in Judah ( 2 Samuel 23:28 ).
Maachathite--from Maachathi, at the foot of Mount Hermon ( Deuteronomy 3:14 ).
9. Fear not--They were afraid that they should not obtain pardon from the Chaldeans for their acts. He therefore assured them of safety by an oath.
serve--literally, "to stand before" ( Jeremiah 40:10 , Jeremiah 52:12 ), that is, to be at hand ready to execute the commands of the king of Babylon.
10. Mizpah--lying on the way between Babylon and Judah, and so convenient for transacting business between the two countries.
As for me . . . but ye--He artfully, in order to conciliate them, represents the burden of the service to the Chaldeans as falling on him, while they may freely gather their wine, fruits, and oil. He does not now add that these very fruits were to constitute the chief part of the tribute to be paid to Babylon: which, though fruitful in corn, was less productive of grapes, figs, and olives [HERODOTUS, 1.193]. The grant of "vineyards" to the "poor" ( Jeremiah 39:10 ) would give hope to the discontended of enjoying the best fruits ( Jeremiah 40:12 ).
11. Jews . . . in Moab--who had fled thither at the approach of the Chaldeans. God thus tempered the severity of His vengeance that a remnant might be left.
13. in the fields--not in the city, but scattered in the country ( Jeremiah 40:7 ).
14. Baalis--named from the idol Baal, as was often the case in heathen names.
Ammonites--So it was to them that Ishmael went after murdering Gedaliah ( Jeremiah 41:10 ).
slay--literally, "strike thee in the soul," that is, a deadly stroke.
Ishmael--Being of the royal seed of David ( Jeremiah 41:1 ), he envied Gedaliah the presidency to which he thought himself entitled; therefore he leagued himself with the ancient heathen enemy of Judah.
believed . . . not--generous, but unwise unsuspiciousness ( Ecclesiastes 9:16 ).
16. thou speakest falsely--a mystery of providence that God should permit the righteous, in spite of warning, thus to rush into the trap laid for them! Isaiah 57:1 suggests a solution.

Flower of Scotland | Do nationalist feelings last longer than 90 minutes?
Nationwide parliamentary elections have lifted Scottish nationalists, for the first time, into a plurality of seats in the Scottish Assembly at Holyrood. Did feelings for the Scotland football team, made explicit in the lusty terrace singing of "Flower of Scotland," play a role?

Everyone visits Bangkok's grand palace, but what many visitors do not know is that the kings of Thailand built various palaces in various locations around their realm. For example, three kings of the Ratanakosin Period built their rainy season retreats in Petchaburi, just south of Bangkok; consequently, Petchaburi is also known as Muang Sam Wang, the city of the three palaces. From Bangkok to Hua Hin, kings have built fantastic palaces many of which are now open for visitors to experience and explore, including the following Thai Royal Palaces listed below.
Situated in the north of the Ayutthaya Historical Park, the pavilion was served as a royal seat for the monarchs to witness the elephant round up. Elephants were the essential animals for wars and transports in the past,...

Transportation in Bangkok
Taxis are plentiful. Make sure there is a meter sign on the roof and the meter is turned on at the start of the journey. In unmetered taxis, agree the price before departure. Passengers have to pay any road tolls.
Not a city for long walks because of the heat and humidity. Explore small areas on foot but make sure you drink plenty of water.
Bangkok's bus service is not for the first-time visitor because of its complexity. Different-coloured buses indicate different standards of service – regular, air-conditioned, fuel-efficient and guaranteed seat. Each type of bus has a different rate. There is also a night bus service on limited routes.
The underground network opened in 2004 and covers parts of the city not served by the Skytrain. Just one line links Hualamphong mainline rail station to Bang Sue in the north.
Rent your car
In Bangkok, they drive on the left and traffic is made up of a curious combination of leisurely bicycles and tuk-tuks, and fast motorbikes zipping through small spaces between buses and cars. Some one-way streets change direction at certain times of the day, and traffic jams are a regular occurrence.
Transportation tips
Don't even consider hiring a car to get around. Major roads are several lanes wide and aggressive drivers will not give you an inch. For stress-free travel, purchase a pass for 20, 30 or 40 journeys on the Skytrain or one- and three-day passes on the Metro. When using taxis, make sure you have your destination address written down in Thai as most drivers speak only a few words of English.

Transportation in Rome
Rome's buses are the most reliable method of getting across the city but can get hot and crowded. Certain lines, notably the number 64 from Termini Station to the Vatican, are renowned for pickpockets, so hang on to your valuables.
Queue for a cab at one of the numerous orange taxi stops dispersed through the city centre rather than trying to flag down a taxi. Avoid the taxi touts that swarm around Termini station, charging extortionate fares. If your Italian is up to it, call a radio car on 06 3570.
Rome's underground metro network is somewhat limited due to subterranean archaeological remains which are unearthed each time construction workers begin extending the system. Unless you have a journey of more than three stops it is generally better to walk.
In general the most efficient way of getting around is on foot, at least across the Centro Storico. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes on the cobbled streets.
Rent your car
Drivers in Rome need to watch for cars in every direction, even with right of way, and keep dipped headlights on throughout the day. Only resident pass-holders can drive into the historic centre before 6pm.
Rent your carTransportation tips
The same tickets are valid on all city bus, tram and metro services and must be bought from stations, tobacconists or newspaper kiosks before boarding. For a single journey a ticket is valid for 75 minutes and includes travel on any number of buses and trams and one metro journey. Stamp your ticket in the yellow machine when you board. Alternatively, one-day, three-day and seven-day passes are available and include travel on the mainline trains to the beach in Ostia.

This is an unprecedented event in the produce industry. The only responsible thing to do in a situation like this is to review everything. But there has never been an outbreak quite like this. There is no road map to show us which way to go. So we are talking with academics, scientists and globally-recognized auditing bodies, such as NSF Agriculture, about other options to validate our food safety requirements. We also continue to be involved with both the Produce Marketing Association and United Fresh Produce Association and their industry-wide traceability initiative. And we are working with auditing standards such as SQF and have helped develop and incorporate produce-specific auditing metrics. We are committed to evaluating all options and acting in a leadership role in the effort to enhance food safety.
Q10. What are Frontera's plans for sourcing Rocky Ford cantaloupes next season?
It is important to remember that this is not about Rocky Ford cantaloupes. According to everything we're aware of, it is about the unusual presence of listeria in one packing facility. Researchers and health officials are still trying to figure out how, if at all, this could change food safety protocols and consumer advice. In addition, Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture John Salazar is working with cantaloupe growers in his state to reinforce food safety protocols, and we fully support those efforts. At this point, we have made no specific plans for next summer.
Q11. What are the general future plans for Frontera?
We will move ahead with confidence in serving our customers, and a continuing commitment to strengthen the industry's food safety and traceability efforts.
Our traceability system is one of the most sophisticated in the industry, and under very trying circumstances, it helped us quickly notify customers, enabling the removal of potentially contaminated product from the marketplace. We are one of the first companies to introduce item-level traceability, recently launching it for pineapples. We will continue to aggressively pursue food safety and traceability improvements through our involvement in the Produce Marketing Association, United Fresh Produce Association and auditing organizations. I will continue to invest in our people, our products, and our customers.

Can you solve this level using more than one of the 8 different build areas? Yes I know you can drop it down! But what is the fun in that? Try solving from the top or sides. Try brown or green solutions. Most importantly, show people how good you are at making contraptions by beating this level the hard way. Good luck!

Most Important Question illogical?
I'm thinking the oft referred to dating question of, what is most important faith, personality, looks, values, etc..is illogical.
For me the person needs to be attractive (looks), mesh with my personality, and share my faith/values. I cannot imagine dating somone, and I have attempted, who only shares my faith/values but I'm not attracted to them or we don't quite mesh personality wise or even 2 of the 3.
