It's 1957, and Cherry Blossom time in Washington, D.C.—Cherry Blossom Open, that's the name of the tournament at which, for the first time, DCTTA V.P. Robert Chaimson's daughters, Barbara (later Kaminsky) and Donna (later Sakai), future USTTA Hall of Famers, are mentioned in Topics. At the time, the best women players in the D.C. area, none ranked nationally, are Virginia Rutelionis, Kay Young, Virginia Redmond, and Helen Horton. By season's end, 14-year-old Barbara will be ranked 3rd in this group, and 10-year-old Donna 6th. Both sisters have considerable dues to pay before they're National Champions, but they'll be helped immediately by their Club's move to a new location—419 Ninth St N.W., where there'll be "six tables with adequate playing room, dressing facilities and convenient parking."
At the South Bend National's, Barbara could play in a maximum of 4 events—and this she did. She came 3rd in Girls Under 15, behind the winner Sharon Koehnke and runner-up Josie Burnett. Lost to perennial National Junior Miss Champion Sherri Krizman in the quarter's of that event (one game went to deuce). Got to the semi's of the Junior Mixed with D.C.'s Clark Goldstein. And was beaten soundly in the Women's Doubles with DCTTA Secretary Kay Young.
With the coming of the new season, Barbara did well in the June Jefferson Memorial Open to upset U.S. #13 Marianne Bessinger, before falling to the eventual winner, Michigan's Ellen Tiffany. (Later, in September, Bessinger would avenge this loss.)
At the Bob Chaimson-run Potomac Open in Oct., Under 17 Junior Miss winner Barbara, counter-hitting well, forced Young into the 5th in the Women's final, and won the Mixed with Eddie Record over Jim Shea/Virginia Redmond.
In her first Women's National Team Championship (NTC's), Barbara (10-11) more or less held her own, and in the process scored a commendable win over Milwaukee's U.S. #8 Marion Mueller. Following that, Barbara won the D.C. Constitution Open over not only Young but Rutelionis, and so began to establish herself as the best woman player in the area.
Moreover, Barbara was branching out—came up to the Dec. Westchester Open in White Plains, N.Y. There she eked out a 19 in the 3rd win over Helen Germaine, still formidable, though it had been 23 years now since she'd first been a U.S. Open finalist. Never mind that Barbara couldn't contest with U.S. Champion Neuberger—if she kept competing like this, one day she might.
Indeed, at the Jan., '58 Eastern's, Barbara must have 14, -19, -12, -11 startled Leah, for surely the Champ must have been unable to breathe easy until winning that close 2nd game. Then, though Barbara, paired again with Record, had no chance in the Mixed against U.S. Open titleholders Leah and Sol Schiff, she was able with Rutelionis to defeat Leah and Jean Gere to win the Women's Doubles.
Another Singles win for Barbara at the Mar. Pennsylvania Open—over U.S. #10 Gere. And perhaps an unexpected Mixed Doubles title too—with Tibor Back—for Men's Singles winner Danny Vegh had sportingly agreed to partner…Barbara's sister, 11-year-old Donna.
Three weeks before the U.S. Open, Barbara lost to Rutelionis at the D.C. Capital Open, but afterwards at the Apr. National's she did as well as she could. In the Women's, she lost in the 8th's to the winner Susie Hoshi. Then beat California's Si Wasserman-coached Charleen Hanson to win—her first U.S. Open Championship—the Girls Under 15, for which, because of a July birthdate, she was still eligible. In the Junior Miss, Barbara lost in the semi's to 1957 U.S. World Team member Sherri Krizman who was then stopped from winning her 6th straight Under 17 title by L.A.'s Sharon Acton, also coached by Wasserman.
That summer, D.C.'s Walter Keim, without consulting any official in the USTTA, just up and contacted the U.S. military's Special Services, and so arranged to have 1957 U.S. Team Captain Bill Gunn take a U.S. Team of Walter's son Billy, Sharon Acton, and Barbara out on a Table Tennis Tour of "air force bases in some remote areas, such as Newfoundland, Labrador and Iceland." Any trouble getting along with Bill, Barbara? Nope.
Returning from that unique trip, Barbara, now ranked U.S. # 10, would take another one. On attending the Canadian National Exhibition Open in Toronto for the first time, she, and, at the last minute, her conscripted sister Donna played for the U.S. in the Junior Miss International Matches and beat the Canadians 3-0. In the Women's, Barbara (the Junior Miss winner over Montreal's Marie Duceppe) beat Toronto's Diane Wisman in 5 before going down, 19 in the 4th in the semi's, to 4-time Canadian Closed Champ Jenny Marinko.
At the 1958 Chicago Women's NTC's, the D.C. Team, fielding its best, didn't play its best—with Young a poor 5-13, U.S. #7 Rutelionis 8-10, and Barbara a not exactly inspired 10-8. Barbara's losses were to California's Acton and Vallerie Smith (later Bellini); to New York's Neuberger and Bernice Chotras; to Chicago's Millie Shahian and Jackie Koehnke; to Wisconsin's Carrol Blank Jaeger; and to Indiana's Mildred Hardin. Traditionally, how players play at the Women's East-West Matches, or now at these Women's National Team Championships (which replaced the East-West Matches), determine who will make the U.S. World Team.
However, Selection Chairman Gunn, his California Committeeman Wasserman, and ex-officio Committeeman President Rufford Harrison greatly favored youth, particularly L.A.'s Acton (National's runner-up after a 5-game semi's win over Neuberger). But Sharon was 15-3 at the NTC's—with losses to Neuberger, Chotras, and Shahian, all of whom were 17-1. Gunn especially was very prejudiced against the strong older players, former National Champions Neuberger and Chotras, both of whom he thinks have no future, but who will win future U.S. Opens. Favoring also Smith (14-4 at the NTC's) over Neuberger and Chotras, he strongly influenced (though professed not to) his Committee to vote the teenage Chaimson on the Team, using a voting system of accumulated points that was flawed in that it allowed just one of the five selectors (voting Neuberger his 6th choice and Chotras his 8th!) to drastically alter the reasonable consensus of the others.
When Chaimson, after so many losses at the NTC's, was named with Acton to the abbreviated two-player '59 World Corbillon Cup Team (one or two more players could be added if they paid their own way), a firestorm of criticism erupted not only from Neuberger and Chotras and their supporters, Gusikoff, for instance, but also from teenager Koehnke's father. Gunn justified breaking with tradition, justified his choice (of course he'd been on that Northern Tour with Barbara and Sharon and presumably had gotten along well with them) by saying that Chaimson "is very young, and still improving; is dedicated to the game and very ambitious; I think she will be in it for many years; she plays an all-round game, both attack and defense, plus a good deal of counter attack. I think she is our best bet for the future." While this may well be true, the traditional argument is that Barbara's not yet proved herself, and that it's not right to deprive those whose record is best from receiving what little reward's available to them in the Sport.
First stop overseas for the U.S. Team was the Belgian Open. Barbara lost early in the Women's, but in the 8-entry Junior Miss she had South Korea's Hwang Yool Ja down 2-1 before losing. But, oh, how she lost. Team Captain Wasserman tells us that Barbara, behind 20-15 match point, defended steadily, and grittily drew to deuce. However, Hwang wasn't unnerved—indeed, "attacking with renewed vigor, she rammed through the final two points." It was too much for 16-year-old Barbara—she "burst into tears." Wasserman said she was just overcome with "shock and frustration" and that he "hugged and tried to comfort her as she sobbed uncontrollably."
In Women's Doubles, Chaimson and Koehnke (Jackie's father had paid her expenses to join the Team) were beaten by Claudine Collignon and Mavis van Gelder who with her husband Louie as local liaisons had attended to the Team's every need. In the Mixed, Barbara and Bernie Bukiet went down in 5 to Rumania's Adelbert Rethy and France's National Champion Claude Rougagnou. Capt. Wasserman didn't think the Bernie/Barbara combination a good one—too much pressure on too young Barbara. Little did Si know, though, that beginning in 1962 (Barbara would then be engaged to Bob Kaminsky), Bernie and Barbara would pair together just fine—win the 1st of their three National Mixed Doubles Championships.
On then to the Dortmund World's, where on the very first day of the Team's arrival Norby Van de Walle lost his meal-ticket booklet. Fortunately the German officials, albeit reluctantly, agreed to replace it. Soon after, Barbara left her handbag in the hall overnight with her meal booklet in it, and of course next morning no handbag. What, another free booklet! Forget that, said the Germans.
In Corbillon Cup play, the U.S., in their 9-team round robin Group, finished—ugh!—dead last, 0-8. Of course you knew what was coming: the woman scorned, Leah Neuberger, later in a letter to the E.C. would lead off with a blast. "Never in the history of the USTTA has an American team made such a poor performance." With the U.S. leading Spain 2-1, Acton in the 4th match lost the 1st game at deuce, and Chaimson in the 5th match lost her last game at 19. Against Sweden Acton won two but Barbara lost two, and in the doubles the Guntsch sisters finished with a 22-20 swing game. Acton also won a match against Switzerland, but Koehnke couldn't help. In the other five ties, we couldn't score at all.
It was embarrassing to watch them, said Leah who played in the Individuals but wanted nothing to do with the U.S. Team, including partnering any of the women in Doubles. But don't blame the players, she said—they did the best they could. "The blame should go to the selection committee who elected to choose inexperienced players to participate with the best players in the world."
In Women's Singles, except for Leah, there wasn't a single win. Such a thing had never happened before. Worse, they all lost their first Consolation match. Against weak opposition Leah advanced to the quarter's where she was beaten badly by Rumania's Geta Pitica (who in 1961 would be World Women's Doubles Champion). I can't help but think Leah's "demotion" by the USTTA Selection Committee was a hard blow to her ego, damaging to her confidence, and affecting her play.
A loss almost every time a U.S. pair went on court—that was the usual pattern of our Doubles play. Chaimson/Acton, you might say, just walked over and shook hands with the super-strong Hungarians Koczian/Mosoczy. But in the Mixed Barbara and Van de Walle, after knocking out a Welsh pair, fought their Chinese opponents –8, -14, -23 grimly to the very end.
Although her results were far from impressive, her play was a great competitive experience for Barbara, and now there was more of the same at the English Open. Though she lost early in the Singles, she showed plenty of heart in her –21, -15, 14, 14, -18 loss to Scotland's Hawkins. Neuberger, too, against 1957 World runner-up Ann Haydon who was experimenting with a sandwich bat, was –13, -17, 19, 20, -11 feistily stubborn in defeat. In both the Women's Doubles with Koehnke and the Mixed with Van de Walle, Barbara lost in the 1st round. Acton paired with England's Betty Bird and in the 1st round they upset the South Korean Corbillon Cup runner-ups. They were eliminated in the quarters by England's Kathie Best and Pam Mortimer who complained that after the English TTA's two-year ban on sponge she was ill-prepared to play international spongers.
In the Junior Miss, Barbara lost in the 1st round, while Koehnke advanced to the semi's via two 3-game matches, then was eliminated, deuce in the 3rdon two point-ending nets, by the Korean Hwang who back in Belgium had beaten Barbara deuce in the 5th. In the Junior Mixed, Barbara and Lancaster's Jackie Keogh were stopped in their opener. But, ah, in the Junior Miss Doubles—hooray—our girls won a gutsy –15, 23, 12 match before being blasted in the semi's.
Back home, Barbara could win. At the May 16-17 8th Annual Midwest Open, she beat the Ohio #1 Mary Landfair, and paired with Donna to win the Women's Doubles. This, however, did not impress John Read of the Selection Committee. He objected to Barbara being named for the CNE International Match. "I most emphatically," he wrote, underlining the word "emphatically," do not believe Barbara Chaimson should have beenconsidered let alone picked as she is, and was, not good enough, and whatever potential she may have had might have been destroyed by playing so many far superior players. This could have hurt her very much."
So what happened in Toronto? Our U.S. women won the International Match 6-4, primarily because Neuberger accounted for three singles and two doubles (with Bessinger and Chaimson), and Chaimson, though losing 14, -20, -22 to Jenny Marinko, crushed 1957 Canadian Closed Champ Susan Schmideck. In Women's Singles, Barbara beat both Pauline Robinson and Marinko to find herself in the final against…who else but 9-time winner Neuberger. Ironically, given how her game had been dismissed by Leah and others, Barbara proceeded to 15, -14, 20, 15 win this Championship (helped by some undue psychic pressure of Leah's own making?), and now, as Gunn had predicted, looked as if she had the possibility of a strong, long-lasting career in the Sport.
Barbara's runner-up Doubles play, too, spoke well for her. Neuberger/Louise Parent Gadanyi had to 22, -16, 17, 19 struggle to win the Women's Doubles from Barbara and Pauline Robinson. And Leah and Schiff, many-time winners of this event, were 19 in the 4th pressed by Barbara and Chuck Burns. Also, I note that on her way to winning the Junior Miss Barbara eliminated—indeed, almost 2, 5, 4 erased all trace of—Toronto's Elena "Helen" Sabaliauskus. After such a hopeless showing who could predict Helen would ever be back again to play table tennis at this Exhibition Fairgrounds site? But of course this was 1959. In 1968 she'd be the Canadian National Champion.
Now a new face in the D.C. area. Another whose game would improve—the runner-up to Barbara in the Sept., 1959 Greenbelt Open, Yvonne Lescure (later Kronlage). At the mid-Nov. Virginia Open, won by Barbara, Lescure gave runner-up Rutelionis, praised for putting up players at her home, for having parties there and being a good cook, plenty of 5-game trouble.
The D.C. team at the Women's NTC's didn't do so well, but no fault of Barbara's, for in winning the Outstanding Player Award with a 14-1 record—in the absence of a California or N.Y. team, she lost only to Canada's Velta Adminis (13-2)—she might even have begun to make a believer out of John Read.
At the 1960 Rochester, N.Y. Eastern's, Neuberger got 19 in the 4th revenge from hard-hitting Barbara, now a high school senior. Leah knew Barbara had talent, partnered her in Women's Doubles for a win, but in the Mixed, paired with Sol, Leah figured to, and did, take down Barbara and Tibor Hazi. (Tibor, I must say, in the Dec. Constitution Open sure proved himself sound with a hat trick that included a 22-20-in-the-5th win in the Men's over Johnny Somael. I might also mention that, at the Lincoln Memorial Open that closely followed, Kay Young relegated Barbara to the unfamiliar role of runner-up).
In the Mar. 11-13, 1960 U.S. Open at the Sheraton Park Hotel in D.C., there's not much to say about the 21-entry Women's. Missing were Shahian, Chotras, Lona Flam Rubenstein (mother of three now), and all the Canadians. I was surprised that Barbara couldn't begin to make a semi's match of it with Acton. And more surprised when in her semi's Val Smith beat Leah in 4. Winner was Acton, 21-4 in the 4th. Women's Doubles was a no-contest win for Acton/Smith over Leah and Barbara, the Junior Miss Champion. Barbara and Tibor had a good win over Mike Ralston/Smith, but were stopped by the winners Acton/Gusikoff. It was the first time since 1950 that Leah (holder of 28 U.S. Open Championships) went home without winning at least one event at the National's. To add insult to injury while Acton was getting the bouquet of roses, some guy, perhaps seeing the Sportsmanship Award Leah ("Pingie") was given, reportedly asked her if she had any more trophies.
At the National's USTTA E.C. Meeting, and I'm going to end Part I on this note, attention focused on the reciprocal U.S. vs. USSR Junior Matches approved by the U.S. Cultural and Sports Exchange Program that would be played first this July, in Russia, then afterwards in November in the U.S. Junior Men's Tryouts were held, but no Junior Miss Tryouts. The USTTA Selection Committee felt that only Barbara was "of the required caliber." It wasn't known yet "whether the USSR would be interested in our sending only one girl."
That dismissal of a Junior Miss Team, and Barbara individually, is just amazing to me. Supposedly the USTTA wants to encourage women and girls to play the Sport. But when a rare opportunity arises to provide a marvelous life experience, with little or no cost to the Association, it's not going to happen—there's no reward for the best of the U.S. girls who year after year have been playing in tournaments. Why should they, then, continue? Equally amazing to me is that apparently no one on the E.C. vigorously speaks up for them. If I were Bob Chaimson I'd be incensed. President Harrison, his E.C. and Selection Committee ought to be ashamed of themselves. The whole point of this People to People trip is, as the Chinese will later say, "Friendship first, Competition second."
Think Barbara was affected by this slight? It sure would seem so….

Greetings. New to site and mostly new to gardening.
My yard is 95% treed so the only place I can grow a garden with enough light is on my 24x22 deck. We don't use it for anything so it might as well house some plants. I don't want the water from the containers discoloring the wood so my thought is to cover the deck with plastic. My deck is sloped away from the house so I'm not worried about water sitting on the plastic. The only plastic sheeting large enough to do it with a single piece is the heavy black garden stuff. Question - will black plastic make it too hot for the plants in their containers? For the containers, I'm thinking of using some of my many 5-gallon buckets and also some large kitty litter 'tubs' my friend gave me. I will drill drain holes and put an inch or two of gravel in the bottom. For lettuce and corn, I'm thinking of using kiddy pools, again with drain holes. The deck is about 5 feet off the ground so my dogs and the local critters shouldn't be a problem. I will be catching rain water in 55-gallon plastic drums to help with the watering.
Thanks, Brody |

Hey, Brody! Yes, the plastic will raise the temperature. It would be best to elevate the containers slightly, by an inch or two, to allow air circulation. A layer of gravel will not improve drainage - it will actually create a layer of water I have found that by using bark and grit based mixes, I don't have to worry about the
Josh |
I disagree, bark can stain water brown. I deal with it indoors with my orchids. Unless you soak bark and rinse and rinse, you will get brown runoff. I agree with raising your pots, you can find 'feet' to put under your pots. They sell them in Home Depot or any big-box store. I grew many containers on my deck for over 30 years without any staining to my deck. I used bagged potting soil and there was never any discoloration. I used various things to fill the bottom of the pots to prevent the soil from going through the holes...clay pieces, rocks, bottles, etc. Just raise the pots so they are not sitting directly on the deck. Plastic tarps will get hot and hurt the wood underneath. Jane |
I've not had stain problems from containers on our deck, patio, or porch. Make sure your containers have good drainage! 5 gallons is a very good size. For tomatoes, always use the largest size container that you can, even for dwarf varieties. The link below may help! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing tomatoes in pots: how to choose containers
Thanks for the suggestions. Gravel - I was thinking I would use this at the bottom, over the holes, to keep the soil from washing out when I water. Is plastic bad for the deck or just 'black' plastic? I'm trying to keep extra water from falling between the cracks so the dirt under the deck doesn't become saturated and breed skeeters. In the past, when I had my rubber trees on the deck in the summer, the water from their dishes would leave a ring on the wood. I'll put the planters up on wooden 'X' blocks to get them some air. I can't do that with the kiddy pools but hopefully they'll be ok. |
Can you get large saucers which you can raise? They sell those cheap, clear plastic saucers. Buy the big ones. Using plastic keeps moisture under the plastic. It heats up (either black or clear) and can keep moisture against the wood. The tarps may prevent the water from the pots touching the wood...but it traps the natural moisture from the ground from evaporating. I would not use plastic tarps. If the pots are elevated, any water on the deck will dry. You probably got rings because the pots were directly on the wood. The most you would get would be the soil running out. That's why I used various things to block the holes. I break old clay pots and use the pieces to block the holes. I'm trying to locate photos to show you, I had computer problems and all my photos are mixed up. If I find some, I'll post them. Jane |

I disagree, Jane. I've never had brown effluent from my containers. I grow in bark and grit-based mixes exclusively. Brody, Josh |
Why not use trays under pots instead of plastic? Seems like covering an entire deck in plastic would be hot and moist, neither can be good for the wood. You could elevate the pots from the trays a bit with a few pebbles. For moisture retention in the soil, I love mixing that compressed coconut "peat" in the soil. One package goes a long way. |
I disagree with Jane... and agree with Josh. I don't get any staining, either. I use a grittier mix that freely drains, I raise the pots so there's no chance of water or moisture sitting under them, and I avoid saucers so the water draining out will roll away and the surface under pots dries quickly. Using saucers will only allow the water to sit, which will saturate the soil and drown the roots. I avoid saucers outdoors. If your deck is sloped, you shouldn't really need any plastic. I'd elevate the pots somewhat, which will allow air circulation, and allow your deck to dry in between waterings. I'd also avoid a layer of gravel inside the pot... Josh is correct... it creates a perched water table right above it, which keeps plant roots too saturated. They end up drowning. Roots need to be able to breathe. The link below contains excellent information on soils and how water behaves within containers... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention 12
what is good to use to keep the dirt from escaping my drain holes if I don't use large gravel? Ok, I've nixed the plastic sheet on the deck idea. I'll go with trays under the containers and raise the trays off the deck of the containers off the trays if I can. |
Fiberglas insect screen works very well, and is very inexpensive. Al |

You can't go wrong with the screen. ;-) I've never had any problem with staining either. JoJo |
I'd think that the clear plastic might actually cause some problems, over time, due to the tremendous heat build-up under the film. Maybe not. The black plastic will absorb the light energy and IT will be hot. Anyway, I'm glad that you've nixed that idea. Since we don't know what kind of potting mix you're using, it would difficult to promise that you won't have any brown leachate. Some commercial potting mediums are pretty 'peaty' and dusty. Raising your pots is a great idea, and you can spray off your deck occasionally to prevent any fertilizer or potting soil residue from remaining on your deck surface long enough to stain. How are you going to facilitate the water drainage from your kiddy pool? Same way? |
That was my thought, too... plastic could create its own set of issues... like trapped moisture from condensation beneath it, unwanted mold or fungi growing under it, excessive heat build up and whatever issues that might create, etc... The kiddie pools could present a problem... although, if you raised them up on something like up-ended 2x4's or somehow... and used screening to keep any medium inside the pool... it could work. I think the staining will depend on a couple of things... what type of medium you use, and how clean you keep the deck under the containers by hosing it off. The peatier the soil, the more it will stain, I think. But if you're vigilant about keeping the deck clean, you should be ok. Quite honestly, I think a lot is going to depend on what type of medium you use. The more inorganic and free-draining, the better. |
My soil will be a mixture of the compost from my bins, my huge wood chip pile that I never got around to spreading (now a pile of dirt), and commercial soil. I'll give the screen over the drain holes a try. For the pool, I'll be drilling drain holes in it and setting it up on 2x4 supports. |

That mix will have a lot of dark water draining through it for sure. You'll need to rinse off the deck multiple times after watering to keep it clean. The real issue will be the compaction of the mix due to fine particles and organic (readily decomposed/decomposing) ingredients. Josh |
You will be fine. Sounds like you have good ideas and if you elevate, you shouldn't get any staining. Growing isn't rocket science after all. Good luck, |

It might fit under "Earth Science". If you have compost in the mix, the water will be dark as Josh says. I've tried mixes as you suggest you'll be using, and it did become compacted as Josh points out. Last summer I switched to a more inorganic and free-draining mix and haven't had any troubles since. JoJo |
Yep, the compost will continue to decompose more and more, creating that nice dark run-off. Terrific for outdoor plantings, but maybe not so good for containers. A successful, long lasting, fast draining potting mix will have few ingredients that break down quickly and more components that tend to be very slow to decompose or erode. That is why you will see the mention of BARK so often...it tends to last for quite a long time when used in a potting medium. Chips made from the inner wood (you said wood chips and not bark chips) will break down pretty rapidly, too. I predict that your mixture might even clog the window screen material, if that's what you decide to put over the holes. ;-( I've grown very successfully in small conifer bark fines, (much smaller than the mini-nuggets we are familiar with) with some coarse potting mixture and perlite thrown into the batch. It's pretty clean draining. Speaking of corn and kiddy pools. :-) I've not ever grown corn in containers of any kind (so I'm not speaking from experience) and I am not familiar with kiddy pools, but would this type of container be deep enough for corn? I know that several people in the past have grown assorted greens in such pools, but don't recall reading anything about any other crop. Perhaps someone has some thoughts on this. |

Excellent mention, Rhizo. "A successful, long lasting, fast draining potting mix will have few ingredients that As Rhizo says, inner wood chips (sapwood) will break down rapidly.
Josh |
I agree. Corn is not a candidate for containers. I wouldn't waste the space trying to grow it unless you had a garden. Even then, you need a lot of rows to get good pollination. I think kiddie pools are too shallow. Pollinating by hand is time consuming and not always successful. I think corn is wind pollinated and if you don't have enough rows, you will not get corn with full kernels. I grew corn for years. Tried it both ways and even in a vegetable garden, you need many rows. You live in a short growing zone. If your container media is for one season only, bagged mixes with bark and perlite should work fine. If using compost, make sure you loosen it up with bark or perlite. The compost should be broken down if used, and mixed well with the other ingredients. You want good drainage. I would use clay shards or something like that, to keep the drains open. Compost will clog the screen material. Compost would stain, but if you raise the pots, you can hose off the deck after watering. Does you deck have a sealer on it? Jane |

Brody - it's very difficult to start with a large measure of fine particles, like peat, peat-based soils, compost, coir, topsoil ..... and amend them so they drain well. I copy/pasted an analogy, something I wrote, that illustrates why it is difficult to START with fine particles and end up with a soil that drains well: "I think the grower's soil choice when establishing a container planting for the long term is the most important decision he/she will make. There is no question that the roots are the heart of the plant, and plant vitality is inextricably linked in a hard lock-up with root vitality. In order to get the best from your plants, you absolutely must have happy roots. If you start with a water-retentive medium, you cannot improve it's aeration or drainage characteristics by adding larger particulates. Sand, perlite, Turface, calcined DE ...... none of them will work. To visualize why sand and perlite can't change drainage/aeration, think of how well a pot full of BBs would drain (perlite), then think of how poorly a pot full of pudding would drain (bagged soil). Even mixing the pudding and perlite/BBs together 1:1 in a third pot yields a mix that retains the drainage characteristics and PWT height of the pudding. It's only after the perlite become the largest fraction of the mix (60-75%) that drainage & PWT height begins to improve. At that point, you're growing in perlite amended with a little potting soil. You cannot add coarse material to fine material and improve drainage or the ht of the PWT. Use the same example as above & replace the pudding with play sand or peat moss - same results. The benefit in adding perlite to heavy soils doesn't come from the fact that they drain better. The fine peat or pudding particles simply 'fill in' around the perlite, so drainage & the ht of the PWT remains the same. All perlite does in heavy soils is occupy space that would otherwise be full of water. Perlite simply reduces the amount of water a soil is capable of holding because it is not internally porous. IOW - all it does is take up space. If you want to profit from a soil that offers superior drainage and aeration, you need to build it into the soil from the start, by ensuring that the soil is primarily comprised of particles much larger than those in peat/peat-based soils/compost/coir, which is why the recipes I suggest as starting points all suggest readers START with the foremost fraction of the soil being large particles, to ensure excellent aeration. From there, if you choose, you can add an appropriate volume of finer particles to increase water retention. You do not have that option with a soil that is already extremely water-retentive right out of the bag. I fully understand that many are happy with the results they get when using commercially prepared soils, and I'm not trying to get anyone to change anything. My intent is to make sure that those who are having trouble with issues related to soil, understand why the issues occur, that there are options, and what they are." Al |
Hey, Brody! Don't get discouraged, whatever you do. It's actually quite easy to build a fine potting mix without going to a great deal of effort...and maybe with some of the ingredients that you have on hand now! There are really many ways to get the job done right. I've heard from so many good people who have lost their enthusiasm for both this forum and for their new gardening adventures and I'd hate to see it happen to you. Josh, I KNEW that someone had posted some great pictures of container grown corn here. I was once one of the nay-sayers about this (corn in pots) until I saw those images, lol. Thanks for posting them. |
Wow...so much good info still coming in. Thanks :) I am going to add some buzzing friends to the mix. I have purchased, and will be making more, Mason Bee houses. Plan to put them around the deck and see if they can help with pollination a little (hopefully a lot). I won't be discouraged if things don't work out. I have been planting tomatoes in two gallon clay pots, sitting in the driveway, for three years now and they do fine. If my deck project fails, I'll go back to that. The deck is treated, and hopefully I'll do it again before I set up the deck garden this spring. I have a hot tub sunken into the deck in one corner, but I don't use it anymore. I plan to build a box over the cover and set planters on top of that. I'll do some before and after pictures and post them when I get a chance. Brody |
It'll work out! Have fun with your Mason bees. I used to see them all the time when I was working in the research farm at Va. Tech. I can't remember if they put up nesting houses, or not. They are are great pollinators. |
Amazing photos, I remember seeing those. I guess it comes down to how much corn you get for the amount of space and work. I tried it a few times and had trouble with pollination. I believe bees do not pollinate as it is wind pollinated. I was outside shaking stalks trying to spread pollen. Didn't work. Wound up with nice looking cobs with only a few kernels. I didn't try that again. In the garden, I seem to remember they recommend a minimum of 4 rows. I would plant half the garden with corn and got a great yield. Whatever, it is always fun to try different things in containers. Other vegetables are easy. Got great carrots and beets, beans, peppers, tomatoes in regular containers. I agree with Rhizo, growing should be enjoyable. Whatever mix you use will be fine. Good luck. Jane |
Wow, I missed your mention of the hot-tub. How cool is that! One huge planter, geeez you can have a vegetable garden going in that. No need to worry about your deck. Have fun and post some pictures, |

Raybo, did you drill holes in the Rubbermaid containers for drainage? How many stalks per container? |
Hi, I have a small container garden on my deck that doesn't take up any space. I built shelves on the outside of the railing supported with 45 degree braces, the tops of the containers are flush with the tops of the handrails. In 2010 I had 4 containers on the shelf and 2 larger ones on the ground. This year I intend to add 5 more containers to the shelf. I've tried to add a picture but can't seem to do it. Lew |

Can I make a suggestion for the dirt runoff problem? Here's what I do to stop the dirt from escaping my pots: I empty out teabags and tape the gauze-like stuff they come wrapped in, over the drainage holes in my pots. I'd imagine you could just buy some of this material, but I have a box of tea I don't like :p This stops all the dirt from leaking out, and I've never gotten stains. I do, however, have a painted wood balcony. I don't know if the difference in porosity might make a huge difference or not. |

Site design and mp3s
Alright. The mp3s are back to running.
The site will be going under some more changes over the next couple of weeks. With help from the sweet and talented web designer/doer/maker Devin Price (wptheming.com), and the aesthetically acute eyeballs of Lady Jane it should soon be looking good and fully functional soon.
Hey Welcome.
I'm an Austin area musician. Recently relocated from the lovely, but colder Chicago. I have a few albums available. I'm currently plugging "Try Swimming". I suggest you do just that.
You'll be able to find all sorts of music, photos, lyrics, fun links, and other random non-sense on this website. I hope you enjoy. Please comment and get in touch.
"Mike Molaro is the best musician ever. His songs soar and bring you up into the cosmos. He has played all over the world and everyone who has ever seen him has loved him. His music is like the precise moment when the beauty tells the beast she loves him, thus turning the horrid hairy beast into a handsome gentleman. Mr. Molaro's music is a blissful cacophony. All of his songs are written with the same amount of passion that Mel Gibson had while writing that movie about the religious guy. He is the perfect blend of all the best musicians. His music sounds like all the best songs you ever heard combined in the best possible way to make him the most unique and best musical act. His character is flawless. He is both confident, but perfectly modest about his art form. He is stunningly handsome on stage, although, he would never say that you are ugly or not as good at music as he is. But the facts remain. This new talent can not and will not go unheard."

Kuedo: a certain sentiment
- Moving into the future with ex-Vex'd man Jamie Teasdale, whose Severant is 2011's most shocking musical curveball.
27 Sep 2011 -
Since first emerging in 2004 as one half of dubstep pioneers Vex'd, Jamie Teasdale has taken an artistic trajectory which has fascinated me just as much as it's confused others.
I remember firstmeeting him in 2006 and being genuinely surprised by how humble and different he was from the music he then made as Vex'd. While Vex'd beats were abrasive and in your face, heavier than slabs of concrete, Jamie was soft spoken and a fan of genres and ideas that I'd never have suspected.
In the late 2000s, when it became clear that Vex'd would never fulfill the promise of afollow up LP to their classic Degenerate – though 2010's Cloud Seed retrospective made for a good substitute – Jamie started on a new path. First under the name Jamie Vex'd, carrying with it the last vestiges of the project in his own way, and then as Kuedo, transforming his artistic persona across several EP releases and now his first solo album Severant, released on Planet Mu this October and the starkest departure yet from his previous sonic aesthetic.
Severant is surprising, beautiful and mesmerising, an album that will jolt old fans while recruiting plenty of new ones. It's a bold move artistically speaking, one that explores concepts dear to Jamie and fuses them with musical inspirations both modern and old – notably trap rap, '80s synthesizer sounds and juke – into a whole that's surprisingly approachable. Curious to understand what had led to such a radical change, I spent two hours on the phone with the now Berlin-based Jamie, discussing futurism, alien drum patterns, the emotional juxtapositions of trap music and finally being free of musical scenes.
Who is Jamie Vexd/Kuedo? Are they the same person?
"Yes they are. They're both me, Jamie Teasdale, writing music of a certain sentiment".
How did you get started with music?
"As a child it was in and around my life. I was making it and playing it on instruments and I also made music on an Amiga when I was a teenager. I didn't take it as a serious endeavor until I was about 22 though".
Was there something in particular that made you want to take it seriously?
"I didn't see any other kind of life. I also worked as a studio engineer, which is separate to the creative endeavour for me anyways".
Which came first, the technical or the creative side?
"I think I found my creative confidence later in life. I went for the technical side as more gainful employment and later realised I might be able to do more creatively. I realised I might be able to actually offer something that way. I always had that ambition but felt morecompelled to act on it later in life. Even when I started making and releasing music with Roly as Vex'd, I took care of the engineering and mixing side of things. My role you could say was more of a managing approach to all sides of the project whereas Roly did a greater amount of the creative drive for it. So for the last few years I've been putting all this other stuff, especially the technical, audio stuff, out of the picture and focusing on the creative to have a genuine artful creation. That's been by far and away the most challenging, rewarding part of making music, the artistry of it. In all my different relationships with sound – I've done sound design, music for adverts, etc. – the role of an artist is the most powerful and challenging to me. It's something that I've been trying to make my main relationship with creating sound".
What was, or is challenging about it?
"I think it's challenging for anyone, though one of the things that was challenging for me is that there's a lot of ways you can signify emotion and feeling and give the impression of it without it maybe really being there. One of the things that's challenging is when you get down to the intentions of what you're trying to do, to make sure that it comes from a genuine place, that it sounds authentic to you. That side of it is challenging. And you get better at it the more you practice it, the more you challenge yourself with it. There are many levels… there's a never ending aspect of being better at it. It should always be a challenge. Just capturing something, chasing something and the things you try to capture…"
They change once you capture them?
"Yeah. You then try to catch something more slippery if you will".
"It should always be a challenge. Just capturing something, chasing something and the things you try to capture…"
So why the long wait for the album?
"Well Vex'd, as a project, took a lot of time to come to an end and then there was a lot of personal stuff which obstructed music work. It was difficult to find the time and headspace, and once it all passed over I set about making this album".
Was there a part of capturing what had happened to you in the new album, translating those emotions?
"Yes. There was a lot more to draw upon as a result, internally. There's a reflection on before, during and after those events".
From Vex'd to Jamie Vex'd to Kuedo and now the Severant album, there seems to be a distinct artistic evolution there, and with the album a distinct departure from earlier "sounds" or sonic aesthetics. Would you say there is a link between all these steps, or are they just a natural result of your evolution as an artist?
"I think the early Jamie Vex'd records could have been Kuedo records because they come from the same intentional place in a way. Maybe it's okay that they're not though, as they do feel a bit like a stepping stone. They sound transitional in a way. It's just not something that I worry about. I think with this album I just really don't want to resolve that narrative to Vex'd. It feels so distant now to me, it's a non-fact to my thinking about music in general now. During that time, making music as Vex'd, there was a working process of making music that I think bled onto the next records – the Jamie Vex'd records – and some amount of aesthetic as well. I think a lot of the defining character of Vex'd, in terms of its energy, its spirit was to do with Roly and in the Jamie Vex'd records you can maybe hear a bit more of the parts I contributed to that project. I think Roly will always sound like Vex'd and continue to. For me it's going to be harder and harder and less meaningful to try and resolve it. It's just becoming less and less relevant, where to me it feels… It doesn't feel connected, it'snot being myself. People change, almost regardless of intentions. The people involved have changed and I am so different now with the way I relate to music compared to how I was back then".
You make art as a reflection of who you are at a certain point in time. I see it a lot where people, fans especially, will like an artist and their sound but then when that artist and their sound evolves people seem to be less able, or inclined, to follow that evolution. That's happened a lot I think with people like you and others who came up at the same time in the pre-dubstep wars days and who ended up affiliated with this certain London sound, willingly or not – Kode 9 is another example. People change and there seems to bea disconnect if you will for many fans.
"I think that can also happen to artists in an inverse way. You can get stuck in your own creations a bit, in your own storylines, though inevitably everyone changes. Because you might have released some records under a certain character at a certain point in time you might feel the need to stick to that one form even ten years down the line, even though you're no longer the same person. I think some people do that. I can only really talk from my own perspective and feeling on it but to me it feels quite liberating and I think you get better musical returns if you just embrace the change, rather than trying to stick with an older creation out of allegiance to it. Everything that we listen to, everything we interact with, we have a set of expectations built around it. And so what happens when an artist creates something different is that the expectation apparatus from the old thing gets placed onto the next one, even if it's a completely inappropriate set of expectations. And that's actually quite obstructive. I think it's one of the difficult things, for me, in looking at this new work through Vex'd. And actually the people who didn't like Vex'd would get the new album much quicker I think".

Bullyboy / by Joe Maingot
SID a cleaner in his sixties This part might be interesting played by a girl - it would work, if desired.
BOB a policeman in his fifties
ROGER a boy of fourteen who has run away from school
MR RICHARDSON a lawyer in his late sixties
TIM Roger's friend
MR HARDY Roger's father, in his forties
Scene: a waiting-room in a rural train station. The present day. There are seats around the room and two doors.
Lasting about twenty-five minutes, this is an ideal GCSE examination piece with good contrasting characters, fairly evenly balanced, and nice contrasts between comedy and potential tragedy. Staging is of the simplest too, with no fancy lighting needed and few sound effects.
Sample Pages from the script
Extract 1
Lights up to reveal Sid with a mop and bucket and cleaning materials. He stands stage centre and sighs. He puts down his stuff and takes out a small bottle of whisky. He swigs some after a shifty look around He puts back the whisky and scratches his bum. He stretches and then lies down on one of the benches.
Enter Bob, a policeman in his fifties. He is a timid man. He sits down next to Sid without either man taking notice of the other. Pause.
In one motion, Sid slowly raises the whisky bottle with a straight arm towards Bob, who pauses, then takes the bottle and swigs some whisky before returning the bottle to Sid's waiting arm. Sid pockets the bottle. Pause.
Busy then.
I am studying the ceiling for areas that may be encrusted with dust. Before
commencing any job, a methodical quantification of the work is essential.
Is that so you can decide whether or not to do it?
And in this particular case?
SID sitting up
Bollocks to it.
Very wise. You'd break your neck up there. It must be twenty feet.
At least. [Pause.] You rushed off your feet as well, I take it?
No, thank goodness. I'm still recovering from last week.
Yes, well, that doesn't surprise me at all. Nasty, very nasty.
A bald tyre and an improperly displayed tax disc. [He sighs.] Oh, I
hate crime.
I know.
it really frightens me.
I know.
It's not the criminals.
It's the actual crime. I find it so exhausting, you know, being horrified
and so on.
Oh, I know. [Pause.] Still, you know what your trouble is, don't you?
You're too conscientious.
You're quite right.
You don't know when to turn a blind eye - when to let things slip.
I can't help it. It's the way I'm made.

where to draw the line. Now, imagine if I tried to keep this place spotless...
there'd be no end to it. And of course there's a world of difference between

Quite so, quite so,
Enter Roger in a hurry. A sports bag is in his hand. He stops dead when he sees the policeman. Bob and Sid both stare at him, Bob with complete horror. Pause.
Young man, why are you not in school? I hope you are not truanting?
Extract 2
You can't keep blaming yourself.
What's all this about?
Get out of my way, Dad. I want to get on that train.
I can't let you go, Roger.
Get out of my way. [He lunges of his father, who wrestles with hint and
throws him to the floor.]
I'm sorry, Roger. I had to do that. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I can't
let you go off like that. I've been insane with worry.
The sound of the train moving off is heard.
Come on, Roger. Get up. Come and sit down. [He tries to help Roger to his
Get off! Just leave me alone!
Pause. Roger remains on the floor. His father approaches him slowly.
Roger, what is this all about? They didn't seem to want to say anything at
school - but there must be something. What the hell has happened to you? You
were fine two weeks ago. We had a great weekend together, didn't we? [Pause.]
Well, I thought it was good. [Pause.] Roger, we've always talked
about things, haven't we? We've always been open with one another.
In a way. Not really, dad. We pretend. That's all.
We pretend!? What the hell does that mean?
We pretend that I'm a nice guy, don't we? We pretend that I'm a model student,
good at sport too and, most importantly, one of the lads.
It's not like that, Roger. You've got it all screwed up.
ROGER ignoring Tim
We pretend that I'm not the sort of person who drives other people to commit
Suicide? What are you talking about?
ROGER calmly
There was this boy called Freddy - in the third form. Everyone pushed him
around. He had huge ears. We thought it was a joke - pulling his ears every
time we saw him. Everyone did it, you see, so it was all right. Can you imagine
that? Every time you walk down a corridor, every time you go into a classroom,
or a dorm, or anywhere? Then one night we decided to be a little inventive,
you see. Me and my nice friends, all of us good chaps. The cool guys - you
know, Dad? All of my friends that you love having over in the holidays. Well,
we decided it would be hilarious to hang Freddie upside down out of the second
floor window by his feet. And it was hilarious. Everyone was there. And d'you
know what? D'you know what was the really funny bit? ... When you let go with
one hand so that he was dangling by just one ankle, he pissed himself. Oh,
that was the best, that was the really funny part. It was so funny, we decided
to do it rather frequently - almost every night. `Hello, piss pants,' we used
to say. And the funny thing was, he seemed to like it. He could take a joke
- he would laugh it off half the time. And of course he brought it on himself.
That's what a lot of people said. He brought it on himself. He was cheeky
- he liked being pushed around - it was a way of getting attention. He brought
it on himself. [Pause.] Well, the fun came to an end last Sunday night,
Dad. I guess he'd had enough. He didn't tell anyone or write a note or anything,
he just ... drank a bottle of bleach. [Pause.] Oh, he's not dead. Amazingly,
someone found him in time. He's still in hospital. [Pause.] So you
see, we have been pretending, Dad. I'm not the sort of person you think I
am: I drive little boys to suicide and pretend, and pretend, pretend... [He
breaks down.]
Roger, I don't know why you're doing this to yourself. You didn't hang him
out of the window...
I was there! I was part of the gang! l cheered and I shouted and I watched!
And so did you.... I just want to disappear, I just ...
Long pause.
Come on, Rog, let's go home. I'm not surprised you ran away feeling like this.
Let's go home and you can hide in your room, or talk about it or ... do whatever
you want.
Enter Bob, the policeman.
Sample Pages from Production Notes
The play sets out to expose the effect of bullying on those who are the victims. Though we never meet Freddie, who attempts suicide, Roger's description of what he had to go through, the time span, the courage with which he tried to laugh it off, all serve to underline the horror. A secondary theme is the effect on the actual bully of what he has done. Roger is not a typical bully; it is clear he is just one of the 'in-crowd', but he knows he's as much to blame as anyone. His life has been changed by what he has done. The writer is keen to show that despite the near-tragedy of Freddie's suicide attempt, bullying will not stop. In boarding schools like this, as in ordinary schools, 'boys will be boys.' And boys are a pretty heartless lot on the whole, especially if they're anxious to be seen to be on the 'right' side - that is the 'cool' side. Tim, representing the more normal reaction, is concerned by Freddie's plight, but not overly. He is more concerned by how it has affected his friend Roger. One senses that Tim, like most of the bullies, will not have learned anything.
The writer uses the comedy of Sid and Bob as a balance. They are a classic comic double-act and should be played as such, though not to such an extent that it undermines the serious effect of the play.
SID, a cleaner in his 60s. Sid is a stereotype. He is the lazy, rascally underling who does all he can to get out of doing any work at all. His main interest is the people who use the station, with all of whom he has struck up an easy friendship, by sharing his bottle of whisky and gossip. Care must be taken not to over-play Sid. The comedy will be more effective if played 'straight'. Nonetheless, the timing of his thrusting the whisky at anyone is crucial and the way he makes his duster or mop 'speak' his affront when he has been upset requires skill.
BOB, a policeman in his 50s. Bob is a less usual stereotype. He is a policeman who is terrified by crime. Completely honest, he cannot let anything go and, for him, the tiniest 'offence' is as monstrous as a murder. Yet this daily tackling of small offences [to him large] completely exhausts him and he must resort to Sid, his friend, and the comfort of his bottle, to cope. His fear and timidity should be shown by face and body language: eyes huge, flinching when he detects something, slumping with rolling eyes, exhausted, on the bench, etc. Approaches to supposed 'criminals' could be tentative, ready to flee at any moment [though of course, he will always return - cautiously.]
ROGER, a boy of fifteen who has run away from school. Roger is the centre of the play and he is going through a life-changing experience. His trauma and distress must be played seriously and not melodramatically.
MR RICHARDSON, a lawyer in his late 60s. This man serves mainly to underline Roger's discomfort, by dwelling on his own memories of boarding-school. he is clearly a sensitive and kind man, concerned about Roger. Though apologetic, he is sure that he has done the right thing by alerting the school and Roger's father.
TIM, Roger's friend. A more typical schoolboy than Roger. He lacks Roger's sensitivity about the bullying; he accepts that it's bad but not so bad as Roger makes out. And the world goes on. he is, however, a good friend to Roger and sensitive enough to be moved by his distress.
MR HARDY, Roger's father, in his 40s. Mr Hardy has to come to grips with the inadequacies in his relationship with his son. He is shown to be a sensitive and caring man.
The play requires only a single setting; that of a rural station waiting-room. Anyone who has used one of these will know that furnishing is shabby and minimal. There could be benches, wooden or even plastic chairs to delineate the area of the room. Two entrances are required, one on each side of the stage. If you want to make the set more interesting, a window could be hung in the back centre against the back studio curtains, depicting either a rural view or the station itself.
All that is needed is good bright cover for the whole playing area. I have suggested an optional spotlight to make the most of Roger's monologue.
PAGE 2, beginning of play. Lights up to full bright over whole playing area.
PAGE 9, near bottom of page. Optional cue: Cue Roger starting his speech 'There was this boy called Freddy....' cross-fade stage lights out and bring up single spotlight on Roger, near front of playing area.
PAGE 11, end of play. Fade lights out to blackout.
If desired, the lead-in to the play could be the sounds of a train leaving the station, to set the scene.
PAGE 8 Quarter of way down page; Cue - I suppose you think me a terrible old hypocrite but ... Sound of train coming in to station and tannoy announcement. The writer says going out but entering the station makes more sense. The same train leaves later on.
PAGE 9 Just over quarter of way down - Cue: Mr Hardy 'I've been insane with worry.' The sound of the train leaving the station.
SID, Page 2 - mop and bucket, bottle of whisky in pocket. Duster [optional], in pocket perhaps.

Signal Hill, Cape Town
Signal Hill, which connects Kloof Nek to Lions Head, in the distinctive shape of a lions rump, is one of the most famous spots in Cape Town for sundowners.
Views from the 350m high summit are nothing short of spectacular, particularly at night, and picnic dinners with accompanying drinks is something of a capital pastime.
In the evenings Signal Hill is a little like lovers lane - popular with couples who are up there to enjoy the lights and the romance of the Table Mountain backdrop, particularly during summer when Table Mountain is lit at night. Signal Hill separates the City Bowl from the suburb of Sea Point, and its name is indicative of its function as the site for the noon gun, which is fired every day, a little lower than the viewpoint on Signal Hill, at Lion Battery.
South Africas Astronomical Observatory makes its crescent moon observations from here, as its an excellent place for spotting the most difficult crescents.
Reaching the viewpoint is as easy as driving up Kloof Nek Road from the city and then taking a right at the top of the hill. A couple of kramats, or sacred shrines, lie on Signal Hill and, during the day, this is a popular launch site for model aeroplanes and paragliders.
From Signal Hill you can also go on and walk up Lions Head, a popular mountain walk that is particularly beautiful to do when there is a full moon.

My muncie 3 speed (behind a L48) works great. Real pleasure to drive. Dont want to beat on it too much though, parts are hard to come by. I think they came standard behind 396 as well.
4 speed would be a little "cooler" though.

Modeled on the famous comic character, the Superman series brings together a colorful and comfortable collection of footwear for kids. Superman is widely considered to be an American icon. Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster in 1932 and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938. With the huge success of his adventures, Superman created the superhero genre and it became a cult in America. The character's appearance is distinctive and iconic: a blue, red and yellow costume, complete with cape, with a stylized "S" shield on his chest. Now that "S" symbol is used to symbolize the character. The character was soon licensed by companies keen to cash in on this success through merchandising. By 1940 the merchandise available increased drastically, with jigsaw puzzles, paper dolls, bubble gum and trading cards available, as well as figures.

hi there!
any ideas where to put all those computer cables (USB)camera cables and ipod charger cables. i want them to be easily accessed in the computer area. i have a small hook, but they keep ending up on the floor. thanks, any ideas would be appreciated :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Whatever you decide on, be sure that you have some labeling system. I tell myself that it's obvious and I will remember but I'm just fooling myself when I don't ID cables. |
For all the cables and chargers I don't need often (daily or every other day), I've placed in individual ziploc bags with labels so I can identify what I need easily and quickly--and they're not tangled. For the ones we need often (i.e. phone chargers), there are only a few and I kept them in a drawer but they still got tangled. Just recently we got a charger organizer/valet that works perfectly. The cords are hidden and only the connecting part is visible and it's very easy for dh and me to connect our phones and blue tooths. |
- Posted by lisalisa2009 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 23, 09 at 14:06
thanks for the tips. i will force myself to label the cables. :) It's amazing how may wires i have accumulated. everytime i buy something it comes with wires. some of them i have no idea what they are for. i have been tempted to toss them. i wish i had drawers im my computer desk, but i dont. i will google the charger organizer/valet. thanks! |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Thu, Apr 23, 09 at 21:50
I have a 3-drawer unit in which the top drawer is missing for some reason. We stuff them in there. Most of the time, we don't need to pull it out, we can just reach in/ The rest of the time, we can pull it out easily. I got out the P-touch and labeled all the charge/USB cords the other day. |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 23, 09 at 23:08
I have a little basket with a lid--in it I put the ipod, camera and associated cables. It sits on top of the computer. Used the keep the stuff in a drawer and it was a big mess. I cannot get the cables mixed up. |
I have a black stackable in/out tray (actually, three trays stacked together) sitting on the corner of my desk. I've run the cables up, and with a black twist tie, tied the cable to the tray at the edge of the tray. Then I sit the camera/camcorder/whatever on the tray when it's charging. The cable stays put because it's tied to the tray. Does my description make sense? |
I agree if/when the cable is specific to an item, that it's good to label it. But often, USB or mini USBs are interchangeable & you only need access to one of each & can stow the others you acquire. I bought a cheapie, plastic tool box from Walmart & stow my USB as well as other chargers (IE for use in the car) in that. I like that b/c if I want to grab cables to take with me in the car, I just pick up the toolbox & put it in the car. To wrap the cables, I use Get-A-Grips. I've probably purchased 30 cards of these over the years b/c pretty much every cable in my house has one on it. Even if it's something you keep plugged in all the time, the velcro straps keep the excess length from getting tangled up. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Get A Grips
I have a perfect solution for this. I mounted a power strip on the back of my computer desk. I attached adhesive wire organizers (round clips w/ a sticky side) to the back of the desk right at the top. Then I take my camcorder charger, plug it into the power strip, clip the wire in the holder and let the end that plugs into the camcorder stick out the top. (The wires slide through the clips but the end that plugs into the device is usually too big to go through). I end up with all of the charger plugs visible and sticking up at desk height. When I want to charge my something, I view all the plugs sticking up from the back of my desk and grab the one I need (the power strip is close enough to the clips to allow for slack in the wires). All wires are hidden behind the desk but they are all readily accessible when I need one. It takes no desk space unless I'm actively charging something. |
