DC Comics have revealed their trades and hardcovers for Spring 2013. This is not an uncommon occurrence from DC as they have done this for several years now. By all means this is not a complete list of everything and dates on these books are subject to change. I'm not going to go and give my opinion on every book but I will give my thoughts on most. I welcome your feedback and are curious as to what you are going to buy.

A pretty solid month of New 52 rolls on. I'm glad to see The Culling trade paperback getting it's own stand alone collected edition. I just finished up the storyline that runs through Legion Lost, Superboy, Teen Titans and the TT Annual. I was wondering just the other day how DC was going to collect all of it. If you have not read any of these books, this is a good place to start.
Batman: From the Looking Glass will probably be the standout of the month. A Batman OGN every so often has become a sure thing nowadays and DC is banking that this book from Bruce Jones and Sam Keith will sell well.
A pair of classic Superman books are interesting. First up is Last Son of Krypton by Geoff Johns and a host of others. I recall it was a pretty good storyline. The other is the lang awaited Man Of Steel Volume 7 by John Byrne. Just so you know Volume 6 came out in 2008!

Ahhh, Night Of The Owls. If you aren't reading Batman then you don't like big budget superhero comics. I was hesitant when I heard Scott Snyder was going to take on Batman fulltime in the New 52, but I am glad he did. This is some top notch writing and artwork. I own the originals and I'll be double-dipping on the hardcover when it comes out. I'm willing to bet that they will present the story in accordance to the timeline that is established in the books as it all takes place over the course of one night.
I never read Batman/Deathblow: After The Fire but I suppose you can go wrong with Azzarello, Bermejo and Bradstreet.
The Superman Vs. Shazam! trade paperback is one I just can't pass up. I hope and pray that someone, anyone will write a nice introduction of the history of Captain Marvel, the copyright lawsuit, and the eventual licensing by DC Comics in the 1970's.

The way it stands now, March will be an expensive month (and I don't even know what the other publishers will have in store). I didn't expect an Impulse trade at all, but it's nice to see. I just hope this paves the way for a complete Young Justice set of books.
The Marshal Law Omnibus is one we have been expecting – just not from DC! Originally solicited by Top Shelf years ago, for whatever reason the reprint rights have gone DC's way. I'm fine with that, but I'm sure Chris Starros and the rest of his staff would have done a good if not better job then DC. I'll be eager to see what his thoughts are, but Chris is not one to criticize other people's work.
Metal Men Archives Volume 2 is a welcome sign to the resurgence of the DC Archive line. This includes the new Wonder Woman: The Amazon Princess Archives Vol. 1 HC. Another long overdue book and one that will find a nice place on my bookshelf.
Finally this month there is a new, expanded edition of Superman: The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus HC. You may recall that a 784 page, $75.00 Hardcover was released on September 12, 2007 in honor of the 15 Anniversary. Now we get the bigger, more expensive, edition for the 21st Anniversary. I hope all those sellers on eBay hurry up and sell there old copy for $150-$225, otherwise it will just be a big old paper weight.

Absolute Top 10 HC is a must own. So says my good friend Augie De Blieck from Comic Book Resources. I can't go wrong with that and it is Alan Moore afterall. I've already started to save up.
Adventures of Superman: Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez HC is another nice surprise. DC has done an excellent job of their own versions of Marvel Visionaries on the Batman side like the upcoming Tales of the Batman: Archie Goodwin HC. I'm sure Superman will be just as good.
When I saw the listing for Jack Kirby Omnibus Vol. 2 HC, I had to think hard about Jack Kirby Omnibus Vol. 1 HC. When was that released and what was in it? Then I remembered Jack Kirby Omnibus Vol. 1 HC Starring Green Arrow! Right. I'm on it!
Lastly we get The New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 3. We new we were getting this right after Volume 2 was released and DC stated that The New Teen Titans #38 will no longer appear in The New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 2 HC (DEC110292, $75). The issue will instead appear in The New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 3, along with other issues in the same storyline.
That's all folks. What are you getting?

BOSTON — The Boston Bruins are playing so well right now that this might not be the ideal time to take 17 days off while the NHL closes down for the Winter Olympics.
The Bruins — 8-1-2 in their last 11 games — manhandled the Ottawa Senators on Saturday afternoon at the TD Garden. The final score was 7-2, and it didn't really seem that close.
Playing without captain Zdeno Chara for the second game in a row — he's in Sochi for the Olympics — Boston received goals from three different lines and kept their foot on the gas right to the end.
Patrice Bergeron led the way for the Bruins with two goals and an assist. Brad Marchand scored a goal and an assist and Reilly Smith chipped in with two assists. Jarome Iginla and Carl Soderberg contributed a goal and an assist each and David Krejci had two assists. Milan Lucic and Chris Kelly had the other goals.
Coach Claude Julien was pleased with his team's focus in the last game before a two-and-one-half- week break.
"I was pretty impressed with our whole approach to this game. There could have been a lot of distractions. Our guys just played so well today. The puck was moving well. Good decisions all around. It was a real solid game for us, a great way to finish," said Julien.
Bergeron, who is head to Sochi to play for Canada, agreed.
"It's something we talked about before the game, that we wanted to end this on a good note and feeling good about ourselves heading into the break, and I think we've done that," he said.
According to Bergeron, staying focused has been a key to Boston's recent hot streak, which has included strong games against some of the NHL's iron — Chicago, Los Angeles and St. Louis. The Bruins are second in the Eastern Conference and have a comfortable lead in the Atlantic Division.
"The way that we stick to the game plan and to the system — I think we got back to doing that in the last 10 or 11 games before the break. That's how we get our success, when we play to the system, we do the little things right and we take what's in front of us. I think everyone is chipping in right now and buying in, and that makes a difference," Bergeron said.
Boston's attention to detail is no surprise to Julien.
"With the kind of team and the kind of players you have, you kind of expect it. But you're also impressed by the way they've been able to, throughout this whole segment, not to sway away from it. Everything that could've happened, didn't. No matter what — Zdeno [Chara] left, our game didn't change. If anything, we played even better because we knew that we lost a big piece of our team back there. The guys on the backend played so well and responded extremely well under the circumstances."
One of those defensemen, Kevan Miller, demolished the Sens' Zach Smith in a second-period fight and was plus-3, as was Providence call-up David Warsofsky. Miller said the Bruins were locked in.
"The puck was kind of following us around. It was one of those nights where everything was clicking and everybody showed up to play," he said.
Ottawa coach Paul MacLean, whose team would be on the outside looking in if the playoffs started today, knew the Senators were in over their heads.
"They're one of the best teams in the East and we've often said that we respect the way they play. We probably owe them a couple of bucks for the clinic they put on," he said.

My daughter is obsessed with baby dolls. She is so obsessed with receiving baby dolls as gifts, that she thinks that every present she receives (or anyone else for that matter) is going to contain a doll. Life can be disappointing sometimes. Especially when a prettily wrapped present does not contain a baby.
This is why I thought she'd get a kick out of this 5 minute craft that I whipped together during nap time. What I put together was really intended to be a prototype, but it…

I am always looking for new projects and hobbies. I love art projects and crafty hobbies, although I never stick with one project too long. My house is filled with piles of projects unfinished…knitting, stained glass, needlepoint, sketching, painting. The only crafty hobby I have stayed with for any length of time is cross-stitch, although some projects took me years to complete.

Tired of having glitter, pom poms, and wrinkled up paintings scattered everywhere?! At the risk of sounding a little less than sentimental, I can barely keep up with the massive influx of KidArt from preschool, which sent me searching for storage solutions.

UPDATE: Bob McKenzie is reporting that the Rangers are sending the Sharks a 2nd round pick, a 3rd round pick (originally from Florida) and a conditional 2nd round pick (that will become a 5th rounder if the Rangers can't re-sign Clowe or they don't win 2 playoff rounds).
According to a report by Pierre LeBrun, the New York Rangers have acquired Ryane Clowe from the San Jose Sharks.
Ryane Clowe has told the Sharks he's waiving his NTC to go to the New York Rangers. Sharks need to complete deal now
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) April 2, 2013
Clowe has struggled mightily this season, collecting 11 points in 28 games. The shocking part: none of these points are goals.
Despite his mediocre season (mediocre may be putting it hilariously too kindly), Clowe is a 6'2 225 pound forward with good offensive skill. His two 20+ goal seasons and three 50+ point season (including 24 goals and 62 points in 2010-11) mean that the Rangers are adding another weapon to their ridiculous arsenal as they continue to try and claw their way back into the upper echelon of the Eastern conference.
It still hasn't been announced what is coming back to the Sharks in the deal.

Riding the Subway
Easier Access
Easier access on the subway
The TTC operates three subway lines and one rapid transit line that connects to the subway. The system stretches from Kipling Station in the west to McCowan Station in the east, and from Union Station in the south to Finch and Downsview Stations in the north.
There are currently 32 stations where elevators provide access to train platforms and easier access transfers to and from Wheel-Trans and/or TTC accessible buses. These stations typically have accessible fare gates and fareboxes, sliding automatic doors and improved signage and lighting.
Accessible subway trains
TTC customers using wheelchairs/scooters and other mobility devices can travel on all subway trains. However, the travelling experience is made easier by specially designed wheelchair positions on the TTC's accessible subway trains. These are the T-1 trains and the new Toronto Rocket trains, which make up more than 60 per cent of the subway fleet.
The easiest way to identify a fully accessible subway car is by looking for the blue international wheelchair symbol displayed on the outside of each train, and similar decals on the inside of the vehicle where the wheelchair/scooter position is located.
Each accessible subway car has one (or two in the case of the Toronto Rockets) allocated wheelchair/scooter location, which consists of a flip-up row of seats, handhold and Emergency Alarm strip. Unlike buses, Operator (or Guard) assistance is not available for securing wheelchairs or scooters on subway trains.
Priority seating for seniors and persons with disabilities
In accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2005 (AODA), TTC now provides Priority Seating on all of its vehicles, designated for use by persons with disabilities. You must give up these seats for a person who is disabled or has a physical limitation requiring priority seating. A customer with a disability occupying a priority seat is not required to move for another customer with a disability. In this situation, use of these seats is on a first-come, first-served basis. You are not required to give up your seat that is not designated priority seating. TTC encourages customer co-operation particularly as it relates to giving up seating for people with disabilities, elderly customers, and pregnant women.
Seats with blue fabric are designated priority seats. TTC By-law No 1 requires that you obey signs posted by the TTC, including Priority Seating signs on TTC vehicles. Persons who do not comply with Priority Seating signs may be subject to penalties under this By-law and liable to a fine of $235.00 plus applicable charges.Decals also indicate where priority seating is located. It is generally located near the entrance of vehicles.
More information can be found in the Priority Seating FAQ.
The better way to travel by train
Here are a few travelling pointers to follow:
When boarding and exiting trains, always mind the gap on the floor between the platform edge and the subway car.
Always allow train passengers to leave the car first before you board.
Do not block train doors. Keep doors clear so passengers can enter and exit easily and quickly.
Never rush towards the doors of a subway car, especially when the door chimes are sounding and the orange light in the doorway is flashing, as this indicates that the doors are closing.
Listen for the automated station stop announcements over the train's public address system as the train departs a station and just before it arrives at the next station.
Planning your transit trip
Elevator/Escalator Status: before you begin your subway trip call the TTC 24-hour Information Line at 416 393-4636 (INFO) and press 5 to confirm whether or not the elevators or escalators you plan to use on your trip are operating or scheduled for maintenance. Elevator information is also available at 416 539-5438 (LIFT) or on our Elevators and Escalators page.
Trip planning: for 24-hour TTC routes and schedules, or for general travel and trip planning information, please call 416-393-4636 (INFO).
Internet Trip Planner: it provides TTC users a self-serve means of planning their transit trips using route information, timing points and travelling distances. A mobile trip planner can be accessed from m.ttc.ca.
TTC hours of operation: signs indicating the hours of operation for each subway station are displayed at every Designated Waiting Area (DWA) and outside station entrances.
Weekdays/Saturdays: train service runs every few minutes from about 6:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. the next morning.
Sundays: train service runs from about 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. the next morning.
Helping visually impaired riders
The TTC has been recognized by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind for creating and building a barrier-free subway system. Among the easier access features providing accessibility to blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind customers are:
Subway platform edge tiles.
Wayfinding paths on centre platform floors.
Subway door chimes and flashing lights.
Station stop announcements.
Stair upgrades that include stair nosings with tonal contrasts.
Braille and raised lettering in elevators and at Designated Waiting Areas (DWAs).
Public address announcements in the subway system.
Platform Video Screens
Digital video screens are located above the platforms in the majority of subway stations. A great source of information, these 101-centimetre, flat screens show TTC service updates, next-train arrival times, the date and time, as well as news, weather, advertising, charity and community messages. During emergencies, key information will appear on these screens.
Service Alert:
109 Ranee buses diverting both ways via Verna for the remainder of service due to a Police investigation at Flemington & Blossomfield.
Last updated Jan 27, 9:56 PM
Support Person Assistance Card
Support persons are not required to pay when accompanying a person with disabilities, as of January 1, 2014.
Learn more about the support person assistance card.
Connect with us every day.
You can plan your trip, get up-to-the-minute service information through e-alerts, and know for certain when the next vehicle will arrive at your stop with our online services.

So I pulled my credit report yesterday and I have 8 collections (5 of which are medical), 1 should fall off this coming march, the other 2 Ipaid to delete. Now Im confused cause I have 3 accounts that are repoting bad debt and a $0 balance on them. They're not in collections, but WILL they be sent to collectons? They have not reported since January 2012. What should I do? Pay them off?
If they are reporting a $0 balance, then there's nothing to pay. Who's posting to your CR?
Reporting of a $0 debt balance by a creditor does not mean there is no longer a debt to pay.
It usually means that they no longer own the debt, and thus there is no debt owed to them. If they sell a debt, they are required to timely update its reporting so as to maintain its accuracy. However, the debt itself is still out there until paid.
There are often times when your CR will not show the amount of an unpaid debt. The party who purchased the debt can report at any time.
The amount reported by the debt collector will thus reflect both the amount they are authorized to collect and the amount of debt owed to them.
I agree with you totally on that one Robert. I was referencing that the creditor posting $0 no longer has the debt. I should have continued on with the rest of the post. Thank you!

8.) Kobe Bryant
9.) shaquille o'neal
10.) Bill Russell
Here's my list. I decided to slide Russell down to the 10th spot because I do believe that Shaq is better than him overall. Shaq dominated the game more and was the biggest force ever inside the paint. I also took Tim Duncan out of the top ten and decided to slide him down to the 11th spot. Kobe is at the 8 spot which is extremely reasonable, he deserves to be in the top 10 greatest players. He's done amazing things in his career and still is playing well right now. He also has five championships to go along with it.

CEDAR FALLS - Part state finals…part county fair. Up and down the nearly mile-long competition line at the state trapshooting finals, five-person squads from dozens of Iowa high schools were vying for scholarships, trophies, bragging rights…and that inner competition with themselves.
The season ending Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Iowa High School State trapshooting championship brought 900 individual shooters to the Cedar Falls course; most competing June 3 for the SCTP competition and more coming in for the June 4 high school trap finals. The weekend capped a season with 150 trap league meets conducted through April and May, in which 545,000 shots were fired. Practice rounds accounted for many more than that.
"We had twice a week practices; and 13 competitions," recalls Ben Weber from Iowa City West's squad. And there is the pre-season, too. Teammate Bryce Haines figures he went through 2,500 rounds by the middle of March.
The competition has a state tournament feel, with vendors selling tenderloins, deep fried chips, ice cream and soft drinks. Between rounds, spectators and shooters relax in lawn chairs around picnic coolers, as they jockey for the narrow strip of shade from trees stretching along the course.
But when the competitors step the line; it's down to business. During the first day, stiff winds concerned most.
"With the direction of the wind, the birds come out low. You have to keep your gun low; not overshoot them," notes Weber.
"Break 25? (in a row). It's a mental game. It's all about composure," offers Haines. "Miss one? You can't worry about it."
Haines finished third in the all state boys standings with a 292 (out of 300 targets). Good friend and former teammate Skylar Rath, from Solon, grabbed top honors, with 294.
Former teammate? This is Solon's first year as a team. For the couple years before that, their shooters were blended into the West squad.
"We owe West a big 'thanks' for that," says Solon coach Scott Rath.
Most teams are clubs; relying on sponsor support for equipment and travel. The season includes head to head and 'electronic' competition, in which schools send in their scores to be posted to the DNR website. The sporting clays and skeet championships were held a couple weeks ago near Waukee. The year-ending trapshooting activities-the SCTP and trap-were wrapped up in Cedar Falls. Year end awards included team and individual finishes; with boys and girls all state squads as well. The DNR-hosted Iowa Cup trophy combines scores from the various competitions. Charles City, Maquoketa and Northwood-Kensett went 1-2-3. Solon was fourth, with West fifth among the 42 high schools in that competition.
A complete listing of individual and team finishes, in the various categories (Iowa Cup, SCTP and trap) is posted on the SCTP Shooting Sports Events & Results page.
Future Olympians?
The state shoot serves several purposes. One day serves as 'the' state trapshooting championship. The other helps build the foundation for national and international competition.
"Through the Scholastic Clay Target Program, the USA's top instructors get a look at the top talent coming up," explains Guy Thomas, who just returned with Iowa kids, invited to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado.
"Iowa had a pretty good showing; five of the 60 invitees. That included the only one (Ryan Smithhart of Oskaloosa) invited for both trap and skeet," Thomas said.
"They get top level instruction. The international competition is different," emphasizes Thomas. "The targets are faster. They come out at different angles, different elevations. In skeet, you are looking at more pairs. Those instructors will keep their eye on these kids (in the years to come). More than half of the Olympic shooting team came up through SCTP, including the gold medalist at the Beijing Olympics."
He anticipates a surge of kids coming out of high school programs; with more colleges offering trap and skeet at the next level. There were 72 five-person squads knocking down clay targets at the Iowa SCTP event…including nine teams just from Ankeny High School. Nick Arthur, of Lynnville-Sully, was the top SCTP shooter, breaking 197 of 200 targets.

The Raptors are reportedly approaching a deal with 29-year-old free agent point guard John Lucas III, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
Stein writes that the Raptors are in "advanced discussions" with Lucas to finalize a "multiyear deal."
For now, it appears as though the Raptors will add Lucas to serve as a third string point guard behind Kyle Lowry and Jose Calderon, but Stein also points out that the Raps are targeting Lucas "to potentially serve as Lowry's primary backup when Calderon — who wants a fresh start — moves on."
Adding Lucas likely spells the end of any hopes for a third string job for Ben Uzoh or Bobby Brown. I liked Uzoh's game last season and thought he did everything and then some for a 10-day player, but if we're talking about point guard insurance in a season that actually means something, I'll take Lucas.
If you weren't aware, Lucas stepped up for the Bulls last season during Derrick Rose's various injury layoffs, putting up some solid stat lines and a 16.41 PER in a career-high 49 games.
I was already convinced that a combination of Lowry and Calderon could mold into one of the more formidable point guard duos in the NBA. Adding Lucas to that mix as a third string would only solidify the position further.
As long as the Raptors don't overpay for him (I haven't seen financial terms of the deal anywhere yet), adding John Lucas III is a nice, quiet move.
Scott, on the other hand, isn't sold.
I will admit it might be tough to swallow if Lucas becomes the primary backup while Jerryd Bayless makes only $3 million in Memphis.

I've found a new obession and it's Brunfelsia! I read that their scents are lovely and they are very fragrant at night time.
Im eyeing both the B. nitida and B. gigantea right now. Some also commented that B. jamaicensis and B. americana are also wonderful. How easy are these plants? And please tell me your favorite(s). |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Kemistry. They are very easy, so don't worry on that score. They are robust and grow quite fast. As to which-- I grew several about 5 years ago that were quite fragrant at dusk, with the fragrance wafting, but unfortunately threw my notes out. I'm just starting again with new ones, and won't find out again which are the best till next summer. But I' sure someone else can fill you in on that. The flowers are big beautiful white tubey flowers, and the leaves are shiny. Quite an attractive plant. |
Thanks Mehitabel! Which Brunfelsia are you currently growing? I just placed an order for the B. nitida and B. gigantea. Very looking forward to growing them. |
Kemistry, You will love both Brunfelsia nitida and B. gigantea (also known as B. lactea). B. nitida tends to rest at the more spicey/clove end of the the fragrance spectrum whereas B. gigantea is a little sweeter. Both have wonderful, clean fragrances with great wafting ability, especially if it is humid and warm. And both plants are quite accommodating and non-fussy. There is quite a bit of (mis)information online saying that Brunfelsias resent root disturbance and will die or become stunted if you transplant or repot them, but I have never found that to be the case. |
I absolutely agree with ispahan about the misinformation about Bruns. I repot more or less continually as a plant outgrows its pot, with no problems. Thanks for the notes on fragrances, ispahan. Kemistry, I loved them from before so I bought all the white ones I could get my hands on-- nitida, lactea, jamaicensis. I think I have four-- will update when I check downstairs in a day or so. You will absolutely love these next summer when they bloom almost nonstop. |
Thanks ispahan and mehitabel for your comments. I love night fragrances so this is so exciting. Will update when the plants are here. |

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! If you want to know what my now new best fragrant plant is, it is this!! Especially the one called Easy to grow.. Mike |
Hi Kemistry, Did your new additions arrive? Where did you get them? Not that I need another plant but maybe I should buy this too lol Hi Mike! Our plant wants are never-ending lol -Bo |
Hi Bo (how are you and your mangoes doing? :)) I bought them from Logee and they just shipped the plants out today. Logee is having a 20% off sale on all items tomorrow and wed so it is probably a good time to grab them (code: email20) |
Mike, what is the botanical name of the Night Lady? |
Hi Toai, my Graham is doing surprisingly well (in her winter quarters aka my bathroom lol) though, my Zebda is quite naked but I am hoping she makes a recovery come springtime. I will make stop at Logee's. Thanks for the code ( : How's your plumeria and other fragrant plants? |
My brunfelsias havent arrived today, maybe today. I'll post a picture when they are here. Bo, if I remember correctly one of your mangoes had flowered this summer? Did it give you any fruits? |
Toai, yep, the Graham had beautiful flower spikes (and I could even see tiny baby mangoes). But the squirrels decided that it was not to be... They chopped off the branch with all the flower spikes! I was very upset and disappointed. This next year I will have to be better armed and prepared! My friend gave me a dwarf singapore. I too was disappointed with the scent and the flower size. Also, I have a Celadine cutting potted in a water bottle with Christmas lights wrapped around it. Though, I have to tell ya your orange jasmine and jujube seedlings did not survive in my care. I am afraid I let a few of them burn in the scorching sun. : ( I didn't kill any of my tropical fruit trees so I too think I did pretty good and learned a lot as well! How's your ylang ylang? |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Dec 17, 10 at 9:56
Bo.. I too am VERY disappointed with the flower size and fragrance...Thank God it does not occupy any space in my house,because if it had to, I would rid of it.. Kemistry: Did your plants arrive yet? I hope so and safe and sound in this brutal cold..:-)You sure did do well. Hi Mehitabel: I am not sure of the name..But I can easliy find out for you..There are three different white kinds I have.. Mike |
Hi, Mike. Thanks for the reply I would dearly love to have the names of all of your fragrant bruns, but especially the Dame de Noche, if it's no trouble. I want to be sure I find that one I loved before. It wafted the scent around at dusk, just lovely. I've bought some, but haven't picked up a fragrance yet, and this time of year, the fragrance isn't there. So I'm hoping to be sure to have one that's lushly fragrant for next summer. Thanks again. |
Bo - another thing i like about mangoes is the smell of their leaves when crushed. I think the scent is nice :o) I'll let you know when my orange jasmine has fruits so you can have a replacement; this plant is very easy to start from seeds. Maybe sometime next year since my plant hasn't been blooming lately. The dwarf Ylang did well for a while, then it got scales. I removed all the leaves now it's a bit naked. It hasn't grown much this year. I did grab a non-dwarf ylang (the tree version) on ebay recently; it looks like a seedling in its first or second year; the tree is about 4-5 ft so hopefully it'll bloom in 1-2 years. Mike - it must be nice to visit Logee's in person. Next time you are there look for a plant call Telosma Cordata; this plant has an extremely beautiful fragrance (and you can even eat the flower buds+young shoots) :) |
here are my two plants: gigantea on the left and nitida on the right |
Hi Toai, your bruns are very nice looking and healthy too! Do you know how often they flower? Hi Mike, let me know next time you visit Logees. I am happy to pay for them. Thanks! -Bo |
Sadly my B Nitida got underwatered and never recovered; The Gigantea did recovery and has been doing great. Even with the lack of sunlight it only lost 1 leave since its arrival. I've expecting an Americana from Accents (accentsforhomeandgarden) and will reorder the Nitida in the Spring. Bo - I think Brunfelsia blooms Spring through Fall, but mainly in the Summer? (hope you are doing well, sorry for the late response! :)) |
About blooming times, I have several that have bloomed several times this winter under HID lights. The blooms come in clusters at the tips of branches that are semi-hard wood (brown, but not tough old wood and not soft green new wood). These are plants I got this summer. Clusters are 4-8 flowers at once. This is what happened several years ago when I had bruns, too. However, the flowers don't seem to be fragrant in winter. It could be that they are fragrant at "dusk", as they are in summer, but I'm never down there when the lights go off. So you can expect flowers while they are fairly young. Pinching tips to make them branch more would mean more flowers, I believe. |
The tip-pinching is a great idea, I think sometimes we forget to do that (or some of us don't have the courage to?) These plants are so attractive.. I love the look of my Gigantea. Besides the B. Americana I'm also expecting a Densiflora. And I'm waiting on Logee to stock up on Jamaicensis so I can grab it along with the Nitida replacement. I think that should complete my Brunfelsia collection :) |
kemistry - I've never heard of B. densiflora. I have B. densifolia and love it. As long as the temp are close to 80, it is a continous bloomer. Here is central Florida, they grow into a tree 10+. Small, 5" long tubular blooms - IT IS my favorite! I have several different ones and none hold a candle to this one. The others are OK. They are fragrant. I just hate waiting a month - 6 weeks in between blooms........cheryl |
Cheryl - I think it's that one; I just did a search on it, ToP-tropicals called it Densifolia while the place I ordered it at (kartuz) called it Densiflora. This plant came last week, though it arrived looking dehydrated so I'm currently trying to nurture it. The leaves are long and slender, very interesting. I'm so looking to the sniffing time; it sounds wonderful from your comments. |
I ordered an Americana from Accents but they sent me Brunfelsia lactea instead, (I guess they ran out of Americana) Does anyone know if Lactea is the same as Gigantea? |
Judging from Ispahan's posting above it's the same plant. Oh well, the hunt for Americina is still on. Lol. :0) |
- Posted by robert1971 6b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 15, 11 at 17:13
Ack! I just ordered an americana from Pepper's. I already have a lactea from Zone 9 Tropicals so I hope I don't get a plant I already have. Was it labeled lactea or are you judging by looks alone or what? I too have gone brunfelsia nuts this year and now have nitida, lactea and have gigantea on the way and hopefully americana! The funny part is I've never smelled any of them yet. |
yup it' labeled lactea, they even wrote "sub." on the order receipt. I would suggest that you send them an email telling them to not substitute the plant if they are out, just in case. :) All of my brunfelsias are still small, i cannot wait til the end of this year - they should be blooming by then. :) |
- Posted by robert1971 6b (My Page) on Thu, Mar 17, 11 at 14:59
Thanks for the info, kemistry. When our brunfelsias finally bloom we should compare notes to see which scent we like the most. ;) |
quick update: my first brunfelsia bloom! Brunfelsia lactea, purchased from Accents: smells so nice!!! Like a blend of gardenia and carnation. |
- Posted by sambacmouse (My Page) on Tue, Jun 14, 11 at 6:53
That isn't fair mine is is a 3ft tall bush and hasn't put out a single flower, maybe too much shade. Your description of the fragrance sounds nice, I can't wait for mine to flower now. |
- Posted by robert1971 6b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 14, 11 at 9:18
I hear you, sambacmouse. Mine is growing vigorously but still no flower buds. Maybe it needs to be more pot bound before it flowers or maybe the cool temperatures in kemistry's apartment has brought on flowering. I know lactea is from high elevation forests at the summits of mountains in eastern Puerto Rico so it likes cooler weather. Maybe I'll start putting mine in the cooler basement at night just for the heck of it? I've done wacker things for plants! :) -r |
It's so nice to finally have some fragrance, this year has been so cold so things grow slowly for me. I'm sure they will bloom for you two soon! :). And Robert, please don't abuse the poor thing ;) |
- Posted by sambacmouse (My Page) on Wed, Jun 15, 11 at 10:05
kemistry have you got your Brunfelsia jamaicensis yet? Brunfelsia jamaicensis is the one I hear people absolutely raving about in terms of fragrance. I would like to know if it is really that special. |
- Posted by robert1971 6b (My Page) on Wed, Jun 15, 11 at 10:45
You're a bad influence, sambacmouse! Now you've got me wanting B. jamaicensis. :) I have read that they can have root issues especially in the winter so hopefully I can resist the temptation of yet another brunfelsia. I can cosole myself by knowing that B. gigantea has gotten rave reviews for its scent so I'll just have to wait until mine blooms. -r |
My jamaicensis is still small. But if it does flower, I'll keep you posted on its scent. :) Right now I have 5: lactea, gigantea, nitidia, jamaicensis and densifolia (densiflora). |
everyone.. my brun jamaicensis is blooming... The scent is very different from brunfelsia lactea's.. To my nose it has a strong mango scent with a bit of lavender in it. :) |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jul 31, 11 at 8:55
Isn't that awesome Kemistry! Where did you get this plant!? Did I miss it? That is one lovely plant. I just love how it seems to have more flower than leaves! Have a great day Mike |
Hi Mike! :) Got this plant from Logee. The scent of this b. jamaicensis is amazing!!! Cannot wait for my other 'ladies' to flower. I love them! :o) |
- Posted by fragrantgardener01 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 6, 14 at 19:31
Is b. Lactea the same as b. Gigantea? I recently saw a plant labeled as b. Lactea in full bloom but the color is blue, like a giant version of yesterday, today and tomorrow. It was deep blue and the flower is twice as big. But no fragrance at all. But then again it was day time. Wondering if it's mislabeled. The picture of b. Gigantea I saw on loge e's website us white. Wondering if b. Gigantea fades to deep blue. Thanks! Fg |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 10:57
Hi Fragrantgardener01, Brunfelsia lactea has white blooms that age to a creamy yellow as does B. gigantea. They are two different species. There are many brunfelsias that have flowers that start off purple then fade to lighter purple and then white. I highly recommend B. gigantea for scent however true to its name it gets freaking gigantic! :) Kemistry recommends B. jamaicensis for scent. -Robert |

Hi Robert: Thank you. Then what I saw labeled as b. Lactea definitely isn't it. It had giant blue flowers. Now I am wondering what it really is. Unlike the yesterday today and tomorrow, which had different colored flowers next to one another, this one had all blue flower and about 45 % bigger blooms. Fg |
- Posted by fragrantgardener01 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 18:57
Hi Robert Seems like what I saw maybe a new cultivar of b. Australis. With huge flowers. ExThank you. You had said it wasCn't worth the trouble. What trouble were you talking about? |
I think he meant the scent of b australis isn't that nice comparing to gigantea for example. I do recommend b gigantea and jamaicensis for scent. I still haven't smelled an americana yet but I heard it also has a superb smell. I love both the gigantea and jamaicensis. Gigantea flowers waft better than the jamaicensis flowers though :) (Wow hard to believe this thread is over 3 years old and I started it! lol) |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 22:49
Ha! Yes. Kem is right as usual. ;) I thought the scent was not worth the trouble for an evergreen tropical that I have to grow in a pot. And now I want B. americana again! :) -Robert |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 9:07
I measured my Brunfelsia gigantea today and it's a little over 3 feet tall (about 40 inches). Of course I cut it way back last fall just to get it down in the basement! If I didn't love its scent so much I wouldn't struggle with such a beast. ;) I should probably switch it out of the urn shaped pot it's in to a pot with a wide flat bottom since the Oklahoma winds tend to topple such top heavy plants. -Robert |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 9:52
Oh, almost forgot. FG, If the flowers had no scent I'm thinking your purple brunfelsia might have been a Brunfelsia pauciflora cultivar. They have some varieties with larger blooms than others however there are many brunfelsias with purple flowers with the common name of yesterday, today and tomorrow. -Robert |
Here is a link that might be useful: Brunfelsia pauciflora
- Posted by fragrantgardener01 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 11:02
Robert: Mystery solved! I Google some more based on your tips and found it almost certain to br b. Pauciflora"Magnifica". I hope it smells nice. It is certainly magnificent-looking. Hope it smells good too. Fg |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 11:48
Fg, I'm not sure B.pauciflora has a scent or not. Almost Eden's site doesn't mention fragrance but does have additional info. Good luck! -Robert |
Here is a link that might be useful: AE's Brunfelsia pauciflora 'Macrantha'

I've lived in several different places (Mississippi, New York, Germany, Montana, Georgia) because my husband was a military officer, but we decided to make Alabama our home after his military career. I've worked for the US Postal Service for the past 16 years and love my job! I've been married for 27 years to my best friend and have beautiful twin daughters. One is a campus missionary. The other is a French major and Starbucks barista.
My biggest pet peeve? People who bash the Post Office. Given the resources it has the Post Office does a remarkable job. For less than 50 cents someone will come to your house, pick up a letter and deliver it to the other side of the country in a few days time. What a bargain! The majority of postal workers I know are dedicated hard-working employees who take pride in their jobs. Just like in any company/organization you will find some slackers but the reason so much is heard about bad service or bad employees in USPS is because the Post Office is one of the only agencies that touches every American's life. Anytime you have a service problem, instead of just complaining to your friends & family, ask to speak to the postmaster/station manager. If you don't get the result you want write a letter to your congressman. All congressional inquiries are promptly addressed. The fact is that most people find it easier to complain and do nothing rather than do what needs to be done to address the issue.

To eat: seafood. I grew up on the Gulf Coast and was raised on seafood. My grandparents lived on the water and had a pier where we could catch fish and crabs. My favorite things to cook are anything that tastes great with a minimum amount of effort. You'll never see me posting any recipes with a gazillion ingredients or a gazillion steps. I like simple food with no frou-frou ingredients. I love making casseroles and one-dish meals. I really prefer things that I can make up ahead of time and then pop in the oven so I can get other things done (I really dislike having to babysit things on the stove). The recipes that I'm most often requested to make are recipe#255642, recipe#261607, and recipe#319363.
Foods I don't like: water chestnuts, beets, Miracle Whip, Velveeta, cauliflower, capers, green peppers, licorice and dill.
Favorite Restaurant: Woodfire Grill in Atlanta. For those of you who are fans of the television show "Top Chef", Woodfire Grill is the restaurant of Kevin Gillespie, one of the top 3 cheftestants on season six. Kevin can take anything and make it taste wonderful! He incorporates the seasonal offerings of small local farms, so his menu changes daily depending on what is fresh and in season. My favorites there are the sage water battered wild foraged mushrooms and the wood-grilled berkshire pork loin. If you're in the Atlanta area, Woodfire Grill is a "must do." www.woodfiregrill.com

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 Tyrell!
Facts about Tyrell
- Breed: Golden Retriever Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Tyrell's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Hi there! My name is TYRELL and I am a 2 year old Golden Retriever mix. I am a wonderful boy who would love a family of my own! Could it be you???
My adoption fee of $150.00 includes up-to-date shots, neuter, deworming, and microchip. If you're interested in me, please go to www.kentuckysave.org to fill out an application. Once the application is complete, you may either email to email@example.com or mail it to Kentucky SAVE, PO Box 517, Lexington, KY 40588. Please call 859-621-1472 with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for stopping by to see me!
Other Pets at Kentucky S.A.V.E.,Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tyrell, a Lexington Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever for sale in Lexington, or seeking a Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in Lexington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Golden Retriever breeders who help with Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lexington paves the way for another one to be saved.

ORANGE COUNTY - Giving back to their community, Muslims in Los Angeles Orange County are planning the annual humanitarian day that celebrates Ramadan by helping thousands of homeless and needy.
This is a "social service project that happens every Ramadan and it is happening in Southern California from Orange County all the way to Oakland," Umar Hakim associate director for the Intellect, Love, and Mercy (ILM) Foundation, and the lead organizer of the event, told Examiner website on Thursday, August 2.
Held every Ramadan, the Humanitarian Day brings together Muslim volunteers to meet the needs of vulnerable populations.
This year's event will provide free health screenings and referral services, food, blankets, new clothing and toys.
Hygiene and back to school kits would also be offered to those in need.
We don't need to say anything," said Hakim.
"We need to do something by putting our faith into action."
Planned on August 12th, this year's event is co-organized by the Coalition to Preserve Human Dignity (CPHD), Orange County Islamic Foundation (OCIF) and local Islamic centers.
"For the past five years we have partnered with the OCIF. That has also sparked other collaborations with other OC organizations like ISOC, ICOI, IIOC," Hakim said.
"We've all come together under the banner of the coalition to preserve dignity."
Founded by Imam Saadiq, the ILM Foundation was established in 1998 and means "knowledge" in Arabic with the acronym meaning intellect, love and mercy.
During that time the community focused much attention to international issues up until the events of 9/11.
The outlook by the Muslim community quickly shifted from international to domestic with the hopes of redefining the Muslim identity within the US.
Season of Giving
For the Muslim community, the event is a chance to reflect and to give back to the community during the holy month of Ramadan.
"It is important to give back to the community. The creator has given social obligations," Hakim said.
"These include taking care of family as well as your surrounding family which is your community.
During Ramadan when we are fasting, we make an attempt to provide a humane service to humanity surrounded by god's mercy, he added.
"Ramadan is a month of reading the Qur'an, internalizing its meanings and trying to apply them in the best way possible to our personal lives and social causes, so all that translated into Humanitarian Day.
In Ramadan, adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.
The sick and those traveling are exempt from fasting especially if it poses health risks.
Fasting is meant to teach Muslims patience, self-control and spirituality, and time during the holy month is dedicated for getting closer to Allah though prayers, reading the Noble Qur'an and good deeds.
During Ramadan, Muslims dedicate their time during the holy month to become closer to Allah through prayer, self-restraint and good deeds.
The majority of Muslims prefer to pay Zakah for the poor and needy during the month.
Although there are no official figures, the United States is believed to be home to between 6-8 million Muslims.
US Muslims celebrated the start of the holy fasting month on Friday, July 20, making it the first time for Ramadan in 30 years to come in mid July.

I love this cleanser. It is super gentle of my sensitive, acne-prone skin and amazingly, never causes me to break out. The smell of the cleanser is incomparable- I have never smelled a more delicious cleanser. It is delicate, but not overpowering. The packaging is pretty sturdy too. It it has a pump to make the cleanser foam and I have never had a problem with the pump sticking or breaking. This cleanser rinses away all my makeup and all the accumulated oil on my face. Even so, I like to use a makeup remover before, just in case. My skin feels hydrated, but not oily, after I use it. And the bottle lasts forever. I originally bought this cleanser on sale for half-price at one of the outlet stores, so the financial commitment was not as much of a burden. I thought the retail price of $22 for 3.4 fl. oz. was very steep for a cleanser, but as it turns out, the product really lasts so you get your money's worth. Bravo L'Occitane. Have already repurchased.

The two American hikers imprisoned in Iran may be held a bit longer while Iran's powerful judiciary reviews their offer for bail.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal would be freed in a couple of days after paying $1 million in bail money. Now Iran's state media is reporting the two men are "going to stay in prison for a bit longer" because Iran's religious judges are re-thinking the issue.
"Two American citizens charged with espionage have not been released. Request from lawyers of these two defendants to issue bail and free (them) is under study," the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency quoted the judicial body.
"Information about this case will be provided by the judiciary. Any information supplied by individuals about this is not authoritative," the judges added in what appeared to be a jab at Ahmadinejad.
The men were arrested more than two years ago along with a third hiker, Sarah Shourd, after the trio crossed into Iran during a hiking trip.
The hikers have always maintained their intrusion across the Iranian border was an accident. Bauer and Fattal were sentenced last month to eight years in prison on charges of spying and illegally entering the country.

Hello, I planted banana trees in the ground a week ago. We were expecting frost last night and me not knowing placed garbage bags over the banana trees to protect them from the frost! My poor banana trees are drooping. Will they recover or am I at a loss? |

Thermaltake MEKA G-Unit Keyboard Review
A solid keyboard for solid gameplay.
Last week, we took a look at Thermaltake's Shock Spin HD headphones and walked away impressed by its simplistic design and excellent stereo performance. For this week, we have equipped ourselves with the MEKA G-Unit, a mechanical keyboard from Thermaltake that promises to be "armed for battle".
The G-Unit is an upgraded model of the MEKA G1, which was a simple, non-flashy mechanical keyboard much like the SteelSeries 7G. The G-Unit, however, has all the bells and whistles that a proper, all-fuss gaming keyboard should – more macros than your fingers, backlit keys, profiles, and separate media congregation (we do not like F1 keys, please, laptop manufacturers.)
Like the Shock Spin HD headphones, the MEKA G-Unit (MEKA from now on) does not go overboard with styling, and I fear I am more than chumming up to Thermaltake's simplistic ways. I am supposed to like flashy stuff.
Without its palm rest, the MEKA is surprisingly compact, although wide enough to run your mouse off the table if you are limited in space. Finished in black built-like-a-tank hard plastic, the keyboard's only color comes from the small red 'Tt' logo and two red stripes that cut into the sides. With the palm rest attached, the keyboard sizes up a bit more, and adds another dash of red with a neat little dragon tattoo. The palm rest may not look much, it certainly isn't as big as the Roccat Isku's, and while my palm does slip out of the general area of the rest it should easily accommodate slimmer hands. The keyboard does feature backlit keys, but instead of lighting up everything, Thermaltake has gone with a more economic, or focused, route. Only the WASD, control, space, shift, arrows and Numpad arrow keys are lit, with caps lock and Numlock having their own LEDs to display their status.
The focused lighting does seem limiting, even though it's a lot easier on the eyes in dark. For example, whoever uses arrow keys anymore? In fact, who uses arrow keys on the Numpads, at all? I would rather have the 'R' and 'G' letter lit, along with the macro keys, which are surprising MIA considering they are the highlight of the keyboard. Moving on to the additional functionalities of the keyboard, you have the profile switchers on the left along with a utility key that disables the Windows button completely. On the right you have a bunch of basic media keys, such as play/pause, mute, volume +/-, stop, etc., and a backlit strength controller.
Also, like any good high-end keyboard, the MEKA features two USB ports and a headphone and a mic jack. However, unlike most keyboards, the MEKA does not use additional USB wires or sound cables. Everything just runs through a single USB cable, which is ridiculously wonderful. And it works. The USB ports cannot run external hard drives, no, but it can easily hold up two flash drives at once. The headphone jacks work well, too, with decent sound quality for what it is.

I have been reading the essays in Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot
"Every time crocheting gets labeled cool or trendy, someone somewhere, who I am sure thinks that he or she is being very clever and original, dice, 'This is not your grandmother's crochet!' Like that's a good thing. One of the things I like about crochet is that my mother did it, and my grandmother probably did, troppo. I personally don't want to disengage from Granny but to take her work and move forward from it."
What do you think of the oft-heart statement "it's not your grandma's crochet"?

As I described in this about me page, I've been using an online tool called Site-Build-It! (SBI!) since January 2009. I can't imagine doing online business any other way. Here's a little bit more about SBI.
With my failed previous attempt to build a jazz guitar lessons website, finding SBI! was a blessing for me: it allowed me to pursue my musical career and create what I wanted, which is the high-traffic jazz guitar lessons website you are reading from now! It's quite ironic that I found out about SBI by accident after all. (-:
As you may know, I am a full-time jazz guitarist living in Montreal. I play and compose music, teach a little and also take care of (basically) everything on JazzGuitarLessons.net
Yep, that's my life! I must admit, my lifestyle is made possible mostly because of the revenue generated from this website.
Gigging, touring and teaching opportunities come and go, but JazzGuitarLessons.net grows steadily, traffic-wise and income-wise.
Without it, I would be like a lot of local jazz musicians that I know: on the verge of being (or already) broke. For most of them, a month with few to no gigs, a few students cancelling lessons or a hand injury means no paycheck.
But I digress...
Hey, I don't
have to work in a
part-time (and
play gigs at night) anymore!
Web hosting is included, no nonsense, no hidden clauses.
Of course, better rankings
= more targeted traffic
= more potential for profit!
All of this, and especially sending own your own e-zine, will increase the "exposure". It builds a stronger bond with your visitors and allows for direct promotions to them. Deeper PREselling = More Monetization. That's the great feature about SBI.
Finally, SBI!
has a no-risk, 90-day
money back guarantee.
It's a risk-free decision that you can make with confidence and peace of mind.
That is more than 12 weeks (or 3 months) to take the "test drive!" If you don't like it, you can get a full refund immediately.
Take the video tour and find out more about SBI :
