I'm trying to get some ideas for what would look nice along the raised porch area on our new home. We may add some lattice to close the gap at some point, but I'd like to try planting some things first. Maybe hostas, daylilies, rhododendron?
The area receives no direct sunlight and we are in zone 5. Finally, I'd like some input from folks as to whether this space is too long to simply put in a line of a single plants or if some sort of mixed bed would be a better bet. Thanks for your help! |

Unless you like sharing a house with things like skunks, start with the lattice. I'd go with a mixed bed because of the slope. I'd also do some research into what plants are going to do well in that site. Daylilies want a fair amount of sun. Rhododendrons want acidic soil. Hostas require a deer-free environment. Plants do much better if you can meet their basic needs. |
"Finally, I'd like some input from folks as to whether this space is too long to simply put in a line of a single plants... " It depends on what you mean by "this space"... just what's at the porch, or along each side of house? Between shadow in your photo and materials setting in the way of view, I can't tell how much slope is along left side porch area... but it looks like there's some. I suggest you grade so as to continue it level along the porch area for a look of greater stability for the whole house, and so that when you install lattice (or something) it's easier and looks better. For surrounding the porch area, a single plant type (with possible seasonal color added at each side of steps) would look good. I'd graduate to a larger shrub, as needed, to compensate for the slope. Also, there's are fair amount of blank wall space below windows @ the drive side that could be two-thirds screened. It's likely that during the summer what is now exclusively shade, will get some sun. At this point, I'm not trying to address what any plant is... just form and arrangement. |

This space is too long to simply put in a line of a single plants and make a combination could be a better bet. |
Wow, thanks, this is so helpful! There is indeed a slope on the left side of the photo. It goes down to a walkout basement. Someday, I'd imagine a retaining wall over there. But I could probably even it out along that side somewhat without any hardscaping just to get started. Does anyone know of a resource that lists shrubs/plants by mature height? Or have suggestions as to what might work? The entire left side of the photo receives no direct sunlight, but the other side gets full sun all day long. |

You can't beat the Missouri Botanical Garden's website. Mature heights and general info on thousands of perennials, shrubs, etc. |
Here is a link that might be useful: MOBOT's Plant Finder
You didn't acknowledge so don't know if you saw my comment that in summer you may get more light on the north side of house. If you google "shrubs for zone 5" it will return various sites that list plants. You should say where you are as "zone 5 plants" in Maine are different from those in Nevada. I see a good place for one Viburnum carlesii. (It is delicious!) Also, see places for spreading yew, Potentilla, Dwarf Jap. Spiraea... Hosta, Daylilies, Siberian Iris, Peony, Lily of the Valley... Lilac... what fits depends on how you arrange things. |

TUCSON - Pima County is looking for qualified applicants to begin the development of affordable housing projects.
The county is seeking applications from for-profit and nonprofit developers, contractors, builders and governmental agencies.
The funds, available through the Pima County General Obligation Affordable Housing Bond Program, will be used to develop affordable homes for rent or for purchase by eligible low- and moderate-income families.
The program will focus on alleviating the lack of affordable housing in the county and helping qualified households who otherwise lack the financial ability to own or rent a home.
Applications are available at the Pima County Housing center, 801 W. Congress St, or online. The deadline for applications is on Friday, June 28, to be turned in no later than 4:30 p.m.

Suggesting that Stevie's comments about Frank Ocean might make him a "homophobic dickbag" are the only intolerant, dogmatic, uninformed, willfully ignorant, blatanly rude, juvenile comments involved in the following article. But I will just have to "accept it" because I prefer not to live in a world where an indie rock blogger is such a …..(feel free to insert your own description)
at first I thought the list was stupid, but in reality most of those bands are terrible or have become terrible.
Obvious exceptions: Black Keys, TVOTR, MGMT, Wavves, Beach House, Bright Eyes, and Grizzly Bear.
Arcade Fire and Bon Iver are both great and super annoying at the same time.

Outliers: The Story of Successful Women
Some time ago, I found myself at the bookstore, seeking something new and exciting to spice up a reading list that my then attention-less brain couldn't seem to focus on. As I reached for Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell, my husband urged me, "You don't want to buy that book." He told me about the interview of Mr. Gladwell he'd seen on the Today Show that morning, in which the book's exclusion of female outliers was explained in less than positive light.
Intrigued, I put the book down and went home to find the interview online
Malcolm Gladwell's Disappointing Interview
Matt Lauer: Why no women outliers in the book? And I know you've gotten some heat for this.
Malcolm Gladwell: There are. I mean, the last part of the book is all about women. Um, it's a long story about my grandmother who's a true, remarkable outlier.
Matt Lauer: I guess people are saying…more recognizable…
Malcolm Gladwell: Yeah. Because I'm talking about…One of the arguments of the book is that…um…successful people are a function of the world in which we operate, the rules of society and the cultures we have. Um, one of the sad things about our world and its rules is that for a long time it held women down. And so I was looking at fields where women just weren't—the law or computer programming—where women haven't been allowed to flourish in the same way.
I was saddened by Mr. Gladwell's explanation, an explanation that essentially equated any successful woman to a fluke. To be fair, I have not read Outliers (and to be honest, I probably won't), but I do know that Mr. Gladwell's main argument about outliers is that most successful people fall into certain groups—groups born in a specific year, groups given specific opportunities, etc.—and that it is their inclusion in these groups, rather than individual talent, that makes them successful. I am certain each specific group he highlights in his book contains women, and I am certain that some of these women are successful. A bit more research and a more open mind would have found them.
Why Didn't Mr. Gladwell Look Just A Bit Deeper
Surely Gladwell is able to see the contributions women have made to the world! Perhaps the great flaw in his book is not that he excluded women, but that he truly believes people are unable to step outside the confines society has created for them.
Every day, everywhere, women run corporations and homes, tech companies and universities, law firms and small businesses. Our boundaries have been stretched, but we must still step outside those boundaries on a daily basis to achieve our own dreams. The drawn borders have faded over time, but they exist, and it will take more time still for a woman's success to be celebrated as a triumph and not looked down upon as an aggressive over achievement, a family's sacrifice, or a simple fluke.
There are several female outliers I have admired for years. For starters, here are my top 10, in no particular order:
1. Hillary Clinton
2. Oprah
3. Edna St.Vincent Millay
4. Christiane Amanpoor
5. Andrea Jung
6. Susan B. Anthony
7. Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi
8. Madeline Albright
9. Amelia Earhart
10. Maud Mellish Wilson
I'm certain that Carrie & Danielle readers will have several interesting names to add to this list. Please join me in celebrating women. Simply add to the list in the comments section.

Hi - I have 6 cucumber plants in the same location that have been doing fine until recently where 3 of them have basically died from the middle on up to the top. This is shown in the photo where the leaf in the middle of the shot is green yet all the leaves above it are completely dead, and the leaves below it are green. This first occurred in the middle of August so I pulled that plant out. Now two more are doing it. Any idea of what is going on here? They are getting plenty of water and the ones that aren't affected are doing fine and producing cucumbers. |

Could it be borers? Check the stems around the point where the dead leaves start and see if there is a larva inside the stem. My grandfather (after cursing! LOL!) would cut a small slit in the stems of his zucchini plants and remove the larva, and the plants continued to flourish. |
- Posted by Onoahimahi 6 MA (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 11:21
No sign of borers that I could tell. I have dealt with squash vine borers in zucchini plants - those have larger diameter vines and the grubs are about 14" diameter. I sliced open the cucumber vines and didn't see anything inside. The insides of the healthy parts didn't look significantly different from the dying parts. I did find a few striped cucumber beetles and understand they can cause bacterial wilt. Can wilt kill the plant from the middle up as I am seeing? |

They should be fine. Over in the allium forum you will find several zone 4 growers that have many years experience and will all say cold will not hurt them. Here in NC I am still planting but some of mine have already come up 6-8 inches. We often get alot of growth during the fall and winter. We hardly ever get below zero but when we do the garlic is fine. It will be a couple more weeks before I get my 30,000 plus cloves in the ground so I do know the time and hard work you put into it. Don't worry things will be fine and I hope you have a wonderful summer harvest. The Garlic Lady |

WOW!!!!!, Garlic lady, 30,000!! Just wondering what is your spacing for garlic? Mark |
- Posted by GarlicLady z7 NC (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 04 at 16:43
Our spacing in six inches (eight for elepant shallots and kettle river giant) . I have a six inch planting board with marks every six inches and an eight inch with marks every eight inches. I usually get 6 across each bed (4 for the eight inch varieties) our beds are about 4 foot wide and 100- 150 feet long. We leave about 3 feet between each bed. So we get alot of garlic in very little space. Which means less to mulch and less to weed. The garlic lady |
i get 6 or 7 rows across with 100ft beds.next year we will be adding 4 new beds.peace |
This is slightly off-topic, but here is a FABULOUS garlic recipe: MARINATED GARLIC 30 cloves garlic, peeled* Blanch the whole cloves of garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes; remove, and plunge into cold water. Drain and dry off the garlic. Mix the remaining ingredients (except the fresh oregano sprigs) in a blender until emulsified. If using dried oregano toss it in with the oil and vinegar. Put the cloves in a jar and cover with the marinade, tuck the sprigs of oregano into the jar. Cover and allow it to marinate for at least 5 days in the refrigerator. Serve as is for a snack or side dish or add to a green salad. Don't be surprised if a couple of people polish off the whole batch in one sitting! I had tried several other marinated garlic recipes before this one and was not happy with the results. This one is perfect! *NOTE: You can double the garlic cloves and will still have enough dressing to cover. The marinade makes a fantastic salad dressing after you use up the garlic. |

Whimsical Moments Poodles
Hello and welcome to Whimsical Moments Poodles where Whimsical Moments "DO" Last Forever. Home of Beautiful AKC Toy, Tiny toy and Teacup Poodles.
I am located in the beautiful Piney Woods of East Texas.
My new Red Lines
Meet Teddy
I bought my first teacup poodle "CocoPuff" almost 14 years ago. Immediately I was in Love with the Poodle and especially the Teacup Poodle. She is a little Chocolate and Cream Phantom Poodle. Her Birthday is February 14th and so fitting for a little sweet chocolate delight.
As with Coco, I continue to strive to assure the good health and happiness of all my poodle moms and dads and Puppies!
I want all who come to me for a puppy to leave with a good experience and have a healthy, happy baby to love and cherish for many years to come.
All colors of poodles are wonderful!
I have downsized this year and I am going to concentrate more on the Rich Red and the Apricot colors. Enjoy watching the future of many Beautiful Variations of the Red colors at Whimsical Moments Poodles!
I love the teacups and raise them to assure their health is the best it can be. I keep them until they are ready and socialized and SPOILED! My teacup poodles have some very small lines of teacups in their pedigree and can be furnished to you when needed.
I love the Tiny Toy and Toys as well! They are perfect for when there is children in the home.
I began the adventure of raising poodles with a Whimsical Thought of always having a Fuzzy Puppy that would NOT SHED! That Whimsical Moment will forever be mine in Coco and all the others after! That was almost 14 years ago. I have learned so much about how to love and raise these babies to attain the best health I can for each of them.
I pride myself in being as honest as I can in representing each puppy I sell.
All my puppies must have at least one puppy shot before they leave. They will be freshly groomed and have their own toy as well as some of the food they are eating and instructions on how to care for them. I have many references and have had many wonderful experiences meeting the new moms and dads and children that would be in the new home of my puppies!
I have made lifelong friends as a result of the poodles and all who have come my way because of these babies.
I will do my best to promptly answer all emails and calls as soon as possible because I know that you are anxious to start your new Journey with your new family member and find just the right one to love. I hope you will take a look at all the wonderful puppies and that one will be the perfect one for you!
Thank you for visiting Whimsical Moments Poodles and hopefully you will turn your Whimsical Moment into a lifetime of memories as I have!

Great show, Lou! Your conversation with Imagineer Alex Wright on the refreshment of Space Mountain was very interesting to listen to. I am definitely much more intrigued to check out the new additions and changes to the attraction next time I'm in WDW. As always, keep up the great work!
P.S. I have your father in my thoughts, hoping he will get well soon. I wish the best for him, you, and your family in this tough time.
Keep it cool, and keep moving forward!

NEXT TRIP: Sep/Oct 2011 - WDW's 40th Anniversary!
I also enjoyed the interview with Alex Wright. However, I noticed that he totally sidestepped Lou's question about the audio system on SM. Lou, did you edit that out or did he just not answer at all? This is the ONE question that I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the answer to, and I didn't get one!
Thinking of you and you dad today. It is a sad reality that as our parents get older, we become the ones that take care of them. God's blessings to all the Mongello family.
Lou Ive never met you, but I wanted you to know your father is in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you man.

Ok here's number one!Are you ready?!
1 Um...duh(me: Hmph nasty!)
2 YES!!!!(Me: YAY!)
3 I guess (me:....gee thanks for being so enthusiastic)
4 I haven't read The Heilo Sphere chronicles yet.(Me:...then go do so!)
Ok ready steady read!
"No!Stop it please!" "Ha ha ha do you really think I'd listen to you,kid?Shut your whining trap!"*Someone taps him on the shoulder* 'Huh?' *He turns around*"Who the heck are you?!" '...the person who's about to kick your butt.....'
The boy snorts.He really is an ugly specimen......"You?!A girl is going to kick my butt?! The girl sighed.She dropped down and tripped him before he even realized what was happening.She looked down at him."What were you saying?" "N-N-Nothing." 'Beat it.' "Yes mam!"The boy ran off as fast as his stubby legs could carry him.
"Are you okay?" the girl asked as she walked over to the little boy.He had dirty tear tracks down his face and his eyes were wide.'Sugoi!' he exclaimed. (Sugoi for all of you who don't know mean amazing) She smiled."Come on,she said,helping him up.I'll take you home.
My name is Haruno Ashe,I'm 15 years old.I attend Masako Academy......as long as I can remember I've been a defender,a protector.I can't stand people who do this kind of thing.
Ashe looked at the boy.He was cheerful now,his eyes sparkled and he was talking non-stop."Really?" Ashe asked."Mhhmmmm it really was this big!" he said."Where did you see the dog?" "In the park..oh here we are!"
They stopped at a little house.It wasn't much but it looked cosy.The boy turned to her."Thank you!" he said throwing himself at her and giving her as big a hug as his little arms could manage."Your welcome." Ashe smiled.She waved goodbye and continued walking.
What do you think so far?!
1 Hmph it's ok (Me:......die...)
2I love it it's great! (Me:Yay I love you!)
3 It could be better (Me: I'd like to see your flamingos do better!) Of course they can (Me: )
4 Sorry I haven't read The Heilo Sphere chronicles yet..(Me:Didn't I tell you to go read them?!)
She walked past Masako middle school and her brother and sister ran out.Yoshimitso and Keiko weren't twins although everyone thought they were.
This is what they look like: http://img27.picoodle.com/img/img27/...tm_ebec592.jpg
Yoshimitso was a year older than Keiko but they stuck together like glue."Nii-chan!" Yoshimitso cried."Hey Yoshi!Hey Kei!"Her younger siblings beamed up at her."Wanna walk home with us Nii-chan?"Kei asked. (If you haven't figured it out by now Nii-chan is a term for sister) "No that's ok Kei.I actually want to do something before I get home.I'll be there later,kay?" 'Sure thing!'
they scampered off into the distance.
Ashe set off towards the park.She wondered about the dog the boy had mentioned.The description was unusual...the boy had said the dog was quite big...and that it was black and white with ice blue eyes.It sounded something like a wolf...or a husky....but running loose?*BOOM* All of a sudden the earth shook.Ashe ran towards the source.She stopped dead when she saw what had caused the commotion.It was a huge.....well monster was certainly appropriate.It had two great big flaming eyes,it's body was bug-like and it's arms and legs were as thick as tree trunks.It turned towards her and swung it's great arm in her direction.She couldn't move...when she tried her body wouldn't respond.What now?!?!
1 Right whatever....(Me:Didn't I tell you to go away?!)
2 Oh NO what happens?! (Me:Be patient you'll see)
3 Ok...you got me what happens? (Me:I knew you'd like it!) It was my flamingos you see.....
4 .....I haven't (Me: NO!SHUT UP!)
The arm came closer and closer.....it was inches away from her...Ashe still couldn't move.She just stood there.Suddenly something knocked her out of the way and she found herself looking into ice blue eyes....
And that's the end of Heilo Sphere #1!!!!
Right guys what did you think?!
Ashe:Hey how come I couldn't move?!
Me:Don't worry it's all part of the story....
Kaiien:When am I gonna come in?
Me:In Heilo Sphere number two!
Kaiien:Oh well that's ok then.
Yosh:It was cool!Sugoi Erin-chan!
Me:Thanks Yosh!
Now Ashe *puts hand on her shoulder....*
I need you to get me half a can of pop,a guy called Kyouraku and a old treasure map and meet me at the pet shop!Come on temper tantrum!*runs off*
Ashe:Hey I'm not temper tantrum!Where am I gonna get a guy like that?!*Looks at Kaiien*You can't mean HIM?!And what treasure?!Erin!Come back!
(Ending fun with credited idea to Debbie)
(Just a quick copy paste)

As of Tuesday, Valentino's on the Green is no more. The upscale restaurant on the grounds of the Clearview Golf Course in Bayside is now Patrizia's of Bayside.
Valentino's opened in 2010, following a $3 million refurbishing by the Friendship Restaurant Group. The group was the concessionaire selected by the Parks Department, which gave it a 17-year lease.
According to a spokeswoman at the Parks Department, the new family-style Italian eatery will have more affordable pricing than Valentino's.
The operators are hoping the new prices will attract more customers. The terms of the city agreement remain the same.
The restaurant is best known as Caffe on the Green, which operated there under the direction of Joe Franco for 17 years. Although the dining facility was very popular, Parks did not renew the lease because of alleged improper record keeping discovered by the city's Comptroller's Office in 2009.
The restaurant was then closed for over a year due to city paperwork and the renovations. It is purported to have been the home of silent screen star Rudolph Valentino and later was the summer residence of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. It overlooks Little Bay and the Throgs Neck Bridge.

The Braves offered the city $500,000 to let them out of their lease a year early. They want to move the team to Atlanta. The city refuses the offer wanting MLB to promise a new team for Milwaukee in the next expansion.
The city doesn't get the money, which was equal to about 2 1/2 years of rent, and the team moves after the season.

Let us observe a moment of silence for EA's Trade Marke if you will, a revered destination on the web sacred to Anthro lovers pure and true. (Thank you, Roxy!)
I have come away with some amazing pieces from there in my day. This gem below included.
Jillian, thank you buckets for this Tessera frock. It couldn't be more perfect. I was a baby hotel (READ: Pregnant) when this dress hit stores, and though I LOVED the print and awesome details (like pockets and the back cut-out!), I just didn't bite.
Then last week, there she was, ripe for the picking. I so can't wait to wear this easy-going frock with boots, tights, and chunky sweaters.
Anthro-love aside, J.Crew is dousing us with their own sale-love, 30% extra off sale to be exact, with code LOVEIT (online only, thank you Gigi)! I happened to be in the store for a quick return today when I asked if they would honor the 30% off in store. The friendliest of SA's says "sure." Shazam!
Not only that, the Peter Pan collar Sweater, that is still showing $89.50 online, was on sale in the store for 49.99. But it gets better.
Something was wrong with the barcode in their system and the sweater was ringing up for…..wait for it……
$24.99. WHAT THE?!? The manager knew that wasn't the right price, but she was told to honor what it was ringing up for. So what did I do?
I bought both colors. Hey, I was taught to never look a gift horse in the mouth! Just doin' my part.
RUN to your nearest J.Crew and see if they've got something screwy going on with the barcode too?
I also grabbed the Tillary Purse in Hot Pink, which was marked down to $59.99 with an extra 30% off! Grand total for the bag? $41.99. BAM!
My store had PLENTY available of all three colors: this one, brilliant purple, and chrome green. Tippi sweaters were also marked down to $44, and with the extra 30% off, came out to $31 and change. (It was about at this point I started whistling and clicking my heels like a leprechaun).
Forget about lookin' my Gift Horse in the mouth, I wanted to give it a big, fat smoochie!!
Seen any Gift Horses yourself lately?
xoxo Molly

Andrew Hall is a man of many hats - golf club owner, PGA professional, golfer, teacher and Titleist Ambassador. These are all roles that Andrew takes very seriously, and always with good humour.
Andrew started his professional career at Rotherham Golf Club in his native Yorkshire before moving South as an assistant professional at The Berkshire Golf Club. Whilst there, his playing ability saw him earn his European Tour card for two years before a move to take up his first head professional role at Blackmoor Golf Club in Hampshire.
After more than 10 years at Blackmoor, Andrew was appointed as Director of Golf at Sand Martins Golf Club in Berkshire, which he eventually purchased in 2005.
Throughout his career, Andrew has established a reputation as one of the UK's leading teachers - a reputation of which he is justifiably proud. This position is underlined by having previously been on of Golf World magazine's Teaching Panel members and currently being a Golf International Teaching Panellist. At Titleist, we celebrate Andrew and the thousands of PGA professionals around the world who work every day with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
So who better to start off Team Titleist's instruction series than Andrew? This is the first in a series of eight tips and drills from Andrew that are sure to help you shoot lower scores! Enjoy!
This week, the European Tour returns to Scotland for the unique format of The Dunhill Links Championship. Played over three different courses - Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and The Old Course at St Andrews - it is a special week on Tour. Usually typified by testing weather conditons, players have been greeted by blue skies and high temperatures! At the time of writing, these conditions have already seen some very low scoring from Full Line Titleist Ambassadors including Michael Hoey, Tano Goya, Gregory Bourdy and Martin Wiegele, as well as Titleist ball loyalists such as Louis Oosthuizen, Gregory Havret and Markus Brier - let's hope they are in the mix come Sunday!
Our Titleist ambassadors were also introduced for the first time to our new SM4 Vokeys. The tour feedback on the new prouct has been extremely positive and many have decided to put them into play straight away. This is testament to how good these SM4s really are!! Bob Vokey and his team have clearly worked their magic again to produce this discernible performance wedge. This also includes the world number three, Rory McIlroy, who has also decided to switch into our new 712 MB Irons for the first time this week. Go Rors!! Rory, with a bag now full of new product, will want to continue his pursuit this week of Pro V1x loyalist Luke Donald at the top of the official world rankings. As always, members of the Titleist Tour Team were on hand to greet the players and snap some pictures from inside the ropes at the event. Here are just some of the pictures from our week in Scotland.

Back proving to be a pain
Posted in Domestic Cricket
With the Friends Life t20 starting again tonight, you can imagine the feeling in the camp is one of excitement and we are very much looking forward to it.
Sadly my back is still causing me problems. I played in a couple of games earlier in the season and I think the intensity of the match we played down at Canterbury - we had a very poor batting display and then had to field for three days in a row and the best part of 170 overs - was too much at the time.
I have had to sit down again with the trainers at the club and there are plans to go see a specialist again. With backs its very hard to tell. I'm trying to remain as positive as possible and be as optimistic as possible.
It's disappointing. We went to Hyderabad at the end of last season off the back of our success at finals day and if you had asked me then if I wasn't going to be playing in the T20, then I wouldn't have taken that too well.
Injuries are obviously a part of sport. I think the timing is particularly upsetting with a view to how last season went.
It's going to be hard going into any tournament. I think every team will now know what Leicestershire are capable of and know the firepower we have in the team with Abdul Razzaq coming down the order and Ramnaresh Sarwan as our second overseas player.
The proof is there, Leicestershire have won the T20 three times now and no other county has won it more than once.
We are definitely a force to be reckoned with in this format. It showed last year that, even though our cricket wasn't going well in the LV= County Championship and Clydesdale Bank 40, T20 was a very different game to the other formats.
It is a game for individuals who can put up their hands. We believe in our team that we have match-winners from one to 11. The new players coming in have a very important role to play and they are backed 100%.
I think the new format is a really good idea because 16 matches was too many last season. I think the Professional Cricketers Association took a number of questionnaires and with 16 matches, it was a really long slog.
The crowds definitely reduced as a consequence, but we didn't have a problem last year because we kept on winning. It's a very long tournament for teams who are out of it with 10 games to go. If the crowds are not coming in, the schedule had to be looked at.
This year hopefully the weather will turn in the next week or so and we will have a lot of people excited to watch T20 cricket live.
I think Notts blow a bit hot and cold. I had three years at Nottinghamshire and we had some powerful players at the time with the likes of Stephen Fleming, Graeme Swann, Samit Patel and David Hussey.
I don't think there is anything to fear though because they have a very powerful batting line up, but I think last year proves that form, either good or poor, coming into the new competition doesn't count for all that much. If anything, it makes us more dangerous.
They will know that Leicestershire bare their teeth, especially at home. They will know they have got a tough ask to come and win at Grace Road.
I am also getting used to social networking site Twitter and you can follow me on @willjefferson610.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Louie!
Facts about Louie
- Breed: Budgie
- Color: Blue
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
Louie's Info...
Louie recently lost his long time companion and should be adopted by a family that can spend lots of time with him. Louie enjoys toys with bells and mirrors, especially now that he lost his companion. He enjoys time out of the cage and spent a lot of time out in his prior home, so he is used to being active! He also enjoys spending time in his cage on the lanai listening to other birds in the neighborhood (supervised, of course!) He has been in a foster home with dogs and seems to enjoy watching the dogs from his cage. He will chirp loudly when the dogs bark, adding his opinion to whatever is causing the commotion. Although introduced to both fruits/veggies and a pellet diet, Louie still prefers a seed diet, but we will continue to work on that!
Adoption fee $15 or $30 with cage
Interested in adopting? The first step is to go to our website at www.floridaparrotrescue.com to fill out the adoption application. Once completed, e-mail it to us at email@example.com and our adoption coordinator will contact you. Adoption requirements and adoption fees can be found on the website as well as a listing of all of the Florida Parrot Rescue birds available for adoption. Please e-mail us for any questions.
Other Pets at Florida Parrot Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Louie, a Tampa Budgie was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Budgie for sale in Tampa, or seeking a Budgie from a breeder in Tampa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tampa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tampa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Budgie breeders who help with Budgie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tampa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Lowell's Katie Bobos chases down Carroll's Shelbi Fisher during a game on Saturday, December 17, 2011, in Flora. | Scott R. Brandush~Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 6, 2012 6:08AM
Coach: Tony Scheub
Coach's record at school: 0-0
Coach's career record: 34-15
2011-12 finish: 3-20, 0-6 NCC
Key losses: Ana Nicksic
Key returnees: Lauren Stazinski, Brenna Boyle
Outlook: Tony Scheub takes over at his alma mater after spending nine seasons as an assistant at Griffith and the past two years as head coach at Culver, where he won sectional and regional titles in 2011. He inherits a program that has fallen on hard times after winning four sectionals and a regional between 1999 and 2006. "They've always been talked about," Scheub said. "Last year they were talked about for the wrong reasons." Outside shooting looks to be a strength, but the defense "still needs some tweaking," according to Scheub, who plans to play man-to-man.

2011-12 finish: 10-11, 3-3 NCC
Key losses: None
Key returnees: Anika Gasich (12 ppg)
Outlook: After just finishing below the .500 mark, the Mustangs brings back almost the entire roster, including leading scorer Anika Gasich (12 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg). Munster coach Matt Backs will also have the leader in assists (Jordan Cole with 6 per game) and rebounds (Bernadette Grabowski with 5 per game) returning, which leads to optimism from the fourth-year coach. "If we play solid defense, we will be in the game," he said. That's key since in his first season, the Mustangs were among state leaders in points given up, but slipped the last two seasons.

Outlook: Lauren Stokes and Bethany Jansma will bring their combined 21 points per game last season to a team that boasts eight juniors with plenty of varsity experience. Danielle Ruesken will look to fill the void inside left by her sister, Hailey, who graduated. "We're just trying to build off of what we started last year," Myers said. "This group has been a real successful team coming through. The key is for us to get back to playing together." A four-game winning streak late last season could be a sign of things to come for the Kougars.

Key losses: Michelle Geissler (8.8 ppg), Nikki Goodeve (7.7 ppg)
Key returnees: Tylissa Fulgham, Brianna Williams, Kara Randall
Outlook: In her fourth year as the helm, coach Tracie Mezera will try to lead the Trojans to goals on a step-by-step basis. They've won eight games each of the last two years, so getting above .500 is step one. It will start with a roster filled with seven juniors who averaged barely above 10 points per game combined, but had some success in junior varsity. "They have experienced success the last few years and they're eager to maintain that success in varsity," Mezera said.

Outlook: New coach Matthew Welsh walks into a gold mine. The Red Devils are athletic, experienced and determined after blowing a 12-point lead in the sectional semifinal against Lake Central. Katie Bobos returns for her senior year after spending the offseason traveling the AAU circuit. Fellow seniors Mackenzie Kreutz and Kaylene Godbolt joined Bobos on the NCC's all-conference first team. Sarah Wietbrock, another senior, made the second team. Lowell has been building toward this season for four years and anything less than a sectional title would be a disappointment.

Key returnees: Grayce Roach (12 ppg, 4 rpg); Morgan Flaharty (12 ppg, 5 rpg)
Outlook: After three straight seasons of 15 or more wins, the Brickies had a transition year in 2011-12, leading to an early postseason exit. But with everyone back from that squad, including a pair of double-figure scorers in Grayce Roach and Morgan Flaharty, coach Mike Hamacher likes what he sees. "After a full season and another quality summer, I think they are ready to compete at a high level and make some noise," he said. "They are a fun, aggressive and exciting group to watch and coach." Don't be surprised if the Brickies challenge for the NCC title.

Key losses: Brooke Brinkley (8.1 ppg)
Key returnees: Sammi Adams (12.1 ppg), Taylor Austin (5.7 ppg), Alyssa Gebo (6.1 ppg), Emma Blackard (7.1 ppg)
Outlook: Griffith returns a nice core of four starters, including leading scorer Sammi Adams. But coach Tom Golumbeck warns that things thin out really quickly after that. Any injury to that top four would prove difficult to overcome. Regional cross-country champ Taylor Austin has the biggest basketball motor of any player in the area. Golumbeck installs a disciplined style of play in all of his teams, which keeps them in most ballgames. Sectional 17 typically doesn't have a lot of firepower, so the Panthers have a good shot at adding to their four straight regional appearances.

Far Away Places With Romance, Adventure!
Out-of-the-way places steeped in romance can be ideal honeymoon destinations. These exotic locations are breathtaking in scenery and offer plenty of privacy with a blend of opportunity for relaxation and a little memorable adventure.
The Seychelle Islands are a tropical paradise located off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Known for what have often been called "the most beautiful beaches in the world," these islands are private and uncrowded. As a honeymoon destination they offer luxury resorts with private rental villas and complete couples spa services. Relax and enjoy each other, and get your fix of adventure hiking through the forests, on a sightseeing tour via helicopter, or surfing and diving in warm coastal waters.
Bora Bora
The famous Bora Bora lagoon with its clear azure-blue waters sets the romantic mood in this South Pacific island honeymooner's escape. There is a variety of accommodation for visitors, from elegant 5-star resorts to bungalows with glass floors that hover over the water. Couples can enjoy private time and take in the water activities on the island: snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, jet skiing, swimming or simply touring the water on a glass-bottomed boat. The island is romantic by moonlight and a lush, tropical beauty exploding with exotic vegetation to enjoy by day.
Looking for an exotic honeymoon spot with an edge? Patagonia has more rustic accommodation or a nice selection of upscale properties and resorts. Located at the tip of South America, you'll be based at the bottom of the world! Serious hiking will take you to see glaciers, mountain lakes and the towering Andes Mountains, as well as Patagonia's fabled wildlife including the penguins. Use it as your base location and book a cruise around Antarctica, or hop over to Buenos Aires for the cosmopolitan nightlife.
Thailand offers honeymooners abundant choices in accommodation with many luxury hotels offering excellent restaurants and spa services, right in the heart of Southeast Asia. Bangkok and Phuket are the most popular destinations, where visitors can enjoy special tours including the visually stunning Grand Palace with its Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and lovely beaches, boating, snorkeling and even guided adventures through the nearby jungles.
It's more than just the awe-inspiring pyramids! Exotic Egypt is a romantic honeymoon destination where couples can share a moonlit flight in a hot air balloon over Luxor, snuggle up on a Nile River sunset cruise or opt for a beach stay at a luxury resort. There are museums full of priceless antiquities to explore and unique adventures to try. You won't want to miss visiting the pyramids and a tour of the desert on the back of a camel.
Other exotic locations to consider: the Amalfi Coast of Italy, a safari adventure in Kenya, popular Turtle Island Fiji, and the private honeymoon cabanas in Belize, Costa Rica.

Grimilken's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is Grimilken and I am so happy to meet you! I love to meet new people and I'm a very affectionate cat. I am a purebred flamepoint ragdoll boy. I get along well with children, dogs, and other cats, but I also like to get a lot of attention just for me. I have been moved to foster care in Portland, OR. I have to take liquid medicine twice a day for my heart, but I don't mind and I'm always very cooperative about it! I am also declawed and I need to live indoors all the time. Here's a note from my foster mom: Adopters will be provided with a vet consult regarding Grimilken's medical issues. We do not ship cats and must meet all applicants prior to adoption. I am being fostered in Portland, OR. If you are interested in adoption, please fill out our preliminary screening application here: http://ragdollrescue.com/application.html

Grimilken, a Keizer Ragdoll cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Ragdoll for sale in Keizer, or seeking a Ragdoll cat from a breeder in Keizer.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Keizer already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Keizer breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Ragdoll breeders who help with Ragdoll rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Keizer paves the way for another one to be saved.

Those walking down Madison Avenue got quite a show Monday night when style icon Daphne Guinness suddenly appeared in one of the Barneys windows. Clad in a pale-gray duck and ostrich feather gown by Alexander McQueen (whose memory was honored at last night's Met Gala), Ms. Guinness blurred the line between fashion, art, and pre-party primping.
The performance marked the launch of Ms. Guinness's collaboration with Barneys, for which she hand-picked 26 looks from her own archive and from the collection of Isabella Blow (which she acquired in 2010). Above all, her performance was a tribute to her friends Mr. McQueen and Ms. Blow, and a reminder of the power of fashion to transform and transcend.
In reference to her highly anticipated performance, Ms. Guinness recently told the New York Times: "There is a commercial side to fashion that is needed, but there are these crossover moments that do become art. I hope it works, and I don't faint."
Luckily, she didn't.

I travel to the north several times a year. As the bus rolls up the country, I've looked at the Arab and Druze villages covering the Galilee hills and wondered about the people; how they live, what they eat. It looks rural and Arabic, it has an atmosphere of a by-gone day, but I know that the larger towns have community centers, clinics and regional schools.
There is open and free travel to anywhere. All the same, I get the impression that village people tend to stay where they are, especially the women. It's the men who move around for business purposes, or with the Druze, to serve in the army.
As my cooking has grown to reflect Middle-Eastern flavors, I've come to appreciate regional Arabic foods. But most of my exposure to these foods has come from fabulous cookbooks like those of Claudia Rodin or Yotam Ottolenghi, or from meals featuring ethnic cuisine at kosher restaurants. I never expected to walk safely in a Druze or Arab village, much less to cook and eat in one. But a few weeks ago, I did.
