text: There is a neighborhood near downtown that has been in a state of decline over the last few years. Much of the area has been demolished but a few very old and dilapidated houses still remained. I have been fascinated with photographing urban decay all my life so when I was given the opportunity to do a fun shoot for these three beautiful friends, we went straight there.

Hi, I need to change out a wire in a double switch box so I can move the light farther from the switch. There are five wires into the box and the grounds are crimped together. I'm not sure how to remove the crimp and the crimps I have are only good for four wires. How should I handle this situation?
Thanks! Alison |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd cut the grounds at the crimp and use a 5 or 6 slot push-in connector. |
I've never used a push slot connector. Will it allow some of the wires to be left long to connect to the switches? |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Sat, Jul 23, 11 at 8:54
Experience helps in these cases. Often the original installer cuts the wires very short- in violation of the NEC. In very tight places, I sometimes use a Dremel to cut along the side of crimp connector barrel to remove it without shortening the conductors. Suppose that you have 6 grounds and the crimp sleeve or wire nut will accommodate only 4. Combine 3 of the grounds with a pigtail (total 4) and combine the other three with the other end of the pigtail for another 4. |
Sounds good, thank-you so much for the help! Alison |

Oh, Apple earbuds. I loathe you. OK, ANY earbuds: here's my open letter to you in a nutshell. You are not my friends.
I have never been successful at sporting earbud headphones in general. In fact, I kind of fail at it.
Don't get me wrong — I've tried. They don't fit in my ears, so I can't enjoy my music without shoving them back in after I'm walking to class and they fly out. I can't go more than 15 seconds without adjusting them! I'm mostly talking about the Apple ones (the old model), but other brands of earbuds don't seem to be much better when I try them on.
Am I missing something, or is it just my ears?
Why is this an issue? I just want to runnnn and not worry about fussing with my headphones.
The reason I ask is because obviously they're a staple for my long runs and half-marathon training routine. I completely gave up on the earbuds and switched to wrap-around headphones, which are fantastic, so I want to plug these in. They're amazing running headphones, especially if you have the earbud problem I do (why do I feel like that's my fault?)
These are Philips ActionFit Neckband Headphones (Model SHQ4000/28) and they have been the only babies that have endured the hundreds of miles I've run this past year. They're exceptional.
The pros? They don't fall out of my ears, they have amazing sound quality, they're sweatproof and did I mention they STAY IN MY EARS? Cause they do. And they were less than $30 on Amazon, too. They also work the best for me because I run with my iPhone in my hand (weird, I know) and don't use an armband, but I can't see why using an armband would be an issue with these, either. They're great.
The only con I can think of is that sometimes I sweat so much that I can't hear the music as well and the buds slide around. I guess you can't expect them to stay put if that's the case.
Unfortunately, I tend to be lazy sometimes taking care of fragile items such as headphones, sunglasses, etc., so of course I stepped on them this week by accident. They half work now. However, I realized how much of a staple they've been for my long runs and am definitely purchasing another pair. Just wanted to share incase you're sick of unreliable earbuds for long runs!
What kind of headphones do you use for exercising/working out?

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
THE LOOK Accentuated doe eyes
MAKEUP ARTIST Rea Ann Silva
HOW-TO Silva started with concealer under the eye, in the corners of the nose and the crease above the ball of the chin and followed that with foundation and setting that all with translucent powder. She added highlighter under the cheekbones and the inner corners of the eyes and topped it with silver dust up the center of the nose and on the high outer edges of the cheekbones. On the eyes, she used a golden brown shadow from crease to lashline and gray on the outer edge of the eye and under the eye from the center out to the corner. She used a frosty white shadow on the inner corner of the eye and a little on top of her lashline. She finished the eyes with black liner, brow powder and black mascara. Lips were neutral with a flesh-color liner and pale peach gloss.
INSIDER TRICK "The key to achieving a natural-looking look, no matter how much makeup you have on, is blending it really well," says Silva, who uses a pink Beauty Blender sponge.Read MoreLess

If you can't stay at the Ivory Creek Bed & Breakfast Inn all the time, at least you can still enjoy some of our fabulous breakfast recipes. Check back occasionally as I add and change them. Let me know how they work out! - Judy
Break eggs into large bowl. Beat until light yellow and thick. Add ricotta cheese, oil, granulated sugar, salt, lemon juice and mix well. In separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture; mix well. Serve or freeze. Serves 4-5.
Lemon Curd:
In a heavy pan, combine egg yolks, sugar, and salt and beat until light and well blended. Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Add the butter. Place over medium-low heat and cook stirring and scraping bottom constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat the outside of a wooden spoon. 5 – 10 minutes. DO NOT allow the mixture to boil. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 weeks. Makes 2 ½ cups of sauce. Heat in hot water to serve on pancakes with dab of whipped cream and a twist lemon slice, raspberries, blueberries or strawberries.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the above ingredients except the bread. Cut bread into six slices each measuring approximately two inches wide. (There will be some bread left over from the loaf). Butter the six slices on both sides and place in a 9" x 12" greased baking dish. Pour the egg/milk/cream mixture over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Approximately one hour before you wish to serve the French Toast, prepare a topping by mixing:
Remove the baking dish containing the bread/egg mixture from the refrigerator. Top the bread with the topping.
Bake at 350 degrees approximately 40 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve with any variety of toppings including whipped cream, fresh bananas, fresh slices strawberries or peaches, fresh pineapple, sugared pecans etc. May make ahead and reheat before serving – 6 large servings.

Hey peeps! Aloha! Here are some pictures of our vacation to beautiful Maui. Just didn't want to come back! The myriad of tropical plants, palms, flowers, gorgeous geography, warm ocean (81 degree water), warm rains, mugginess, intense tropical sun (the sun was directly at 90 degrees over the sky while we were there)...plus the fact that it reminds me of my home country (Panama) makes me want to stay every time we go. We stayed in Ka'anapali, but the pictures are from pretty much all over the island. We went to this AMAZING botanical garden called "Garden of Eden" on the windward side (lots of pics) - highly recommended...Anyway, there are lots of cool pics for you guys to enjoy..so ENJOY! :)

That is soooooo pretty! I want to go to hawaii soo bad. Its my number one place I want to visit. Did you bring back anything? And if you dont mind me asking,was the trip real expensive? It looks soo great there. I really want to see a real mature coconut palm like those in the pics. It looked like a fun trip.:) -Hunter |
Wow,I really enjoyed the pics. I need to visit some time. I have family from there, but I have never been. |

Wow, beautiful pics! I went last year and I want to go back more than anything! Every pic I took was good enough for a post card (and it has nothing to do with my picture taking, but everything to do with the beauty everywhere in Hawaii!) Definitely the most beautiful state for tropicals. The water is clear and beautiful, the mountains are stunning and unreal, and every plant does amazing there! The coconuts do so well that the hotels have a hard time keeping up with pruning the coconuts off (its a law in the United States to have all coconuts cut off of coconut palms when in public places (since coconuts are deadly if they fall on someone's head). However, out in the towns, you can see some beautiful coconuts growing on the coconut trees in people's yards (as well as bananas, plumerias, papayas, mangos, and tons of others!). -Alex |
Awesome, thank you for sharing |
Stunning photos, glad you enjoyed your stay! |

Thanks for sharing! Great photos. I too would love to go there some day. I think I would want to live at some elevation though. The only thing I would say about HI is that there are almost too MANY Coconut palms. I like a little variety. Still, stunning place for sure. That Plumeria (the huge one over the roof of that building) is, well, HUGE!!!! Stunning! I think the one in the 8th photo up from the bottom is also a dwarf plumeria. I have one of those as well and it has grown like gang busters this summer. They are slower growers, but they are just as beautiful! Thanks again for the great pics! Oh, btw. Hunter_M You can go to south Florida (Tampa on south on the west, and Palm Beach on south on the east (i think) and see coconut palms like that. I remember my trip to Miami well, and they are everywhere. |

Video: Hunter Yelton, six, deserved suspension for kissing my daughter, mom says
Jade Masters-Ownbey, mom of the little Canon City girl who six-year-old Hunter Yelton was suspended for kissing a few days back, initially said she wouldn't talk with the media. She thought the international publicity given to the story as a result of Hunter's behavior being tagged sexual harassment was way over the top. But after speaking out on her Facebook page, she decided to tell a newspaper and a TV station -- but not the one that broke the story in the first place -- that she feels the school district did the right thing. Details, photos and video below.Photos, video below.
As we reported, Hunter had previously gotten into trouble at Lincoln School of Science & Technology for behavior issues, including kissing the girl on the cheek. Then, in a music class, he kissed the girl's hand, and the other kids alerted the teacher.The Lincoln School for Science & Technology, as seen in a KRDO screen capture.
Before long, Jennifer Saunders, Hunter's mom, was in the principal's office, where the term "sexual harassment" set her off.Jennifer Saunders used air quotes when describing Hunter and his classmate as "boyfriend and girlfriend" on KRDO.
"This is taking it to an extreme that doesn't need to be met with a six year old. Now my son is asking questions.... 'What is sex, mommy?' That should not ever be said, sex. Not in a sentence with a six year old," she told KRDO-TV, which broke the story.
Saunders didn't seem to have a big problem with Hunter's suspension and said she was working with him about his actions. But to have him labeled a sexual harasser in paperwork that would follow him through his scholastic career at the RE-1 school district struck her as excessive and objectionable.
Before long, the global media seized on the story; as recently as yesterday, it was a topic of conversation on Fox News. No doubt the attention helped convince the district to replace the sexual harassment line with a reference to general misconduct.
In the meantime, Ownbey, who just happens to be a math teacher in RE-1, posted the following on her Facebook page:
Hey Canon City... the story about the boy being suspended from school for kissing a girl on the cheek ... there r two sides to every story and the news only shared a fragment of the one side. I am a teacher. A mom, an advocate for children.... but that boy deserved to be suspended for the continual harassment of my daughter. Canon City Schools did right!Continue for more about Jade Masters-Ownbey's reaction to the Hunter Yelton story, including more photos and two videos.

Our pool was built by Shasta about 6 years ago. The filter is Hayward and is called "700 square ft. Mega Cartridge Filter Model C7020STA" The parts diagram says the cartriges (quantity of 8) are part number CX590RC. We can't find these parts anywhere. Can somebody help us out with this by giving me either (a) a source that carries them or (b) the equivalent part number from one of the major filter cartridge companies?
Thanks very much!! |

To what extent was Nazi Germany's economic development form 1933 onward "unsustainable"? And what effect did it have, if any, on their decision to go to war when they did? (self.AskHistorians)
16 ups - 1 downs = 15 votes
Forgive me, I searched the FAQs and found questions relating to the idea of the German economic miracle in general, but I couldn't find any threads dealing with this specific question. Also, if this is too much of a "what if" type of question, I apologize and can take it to a different subreddit.
I just happened after random Wikipedia browsing to end up reading a lot about the lead-up to WWII, and I'm wondering what the historical consensus is regarding Germany's economic development after the Nazis came into power.
Did their use of the state to basically direct the development of Germany's industries for the purpose of preparing for war have the inadvertent effect of making their economy unstable such that eventually they would have had to start a war over economic concerns? I know that Hitler had always had the goal of starting a war of expansion eventually, but is it possible the economic instability forced the regime's hand and made them pursue that war earlier? In the absence of the German initiation of WWII, what would have continued to happen to their economy, given the policies they were pursuing?
I'm not a historian by any means, but I took a bunch of history classes in college, and I recall in a Western Civ course that my professor said that in his opinion, the Nazi economy's outer appearance was a flimsy facade, and that the only way it functioned as long as it did was because the Nazis looted the treasuries of the countries they conquered in order to sustain the homeland's economy a bit longer.

I saw this maple in the West Kootenays two weeks ago and was impressed...so I did a search on this forum...didn't find much about gardeners trying this cultivar on the Canadian prairies. Have any of the forum folks tried this beauty even though it is rated Zone 4/5? Didn't know it even existed til I saw it. This maple was planted 8 yrs ago is about 15ft tall...located near Burton, BC. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I used to have a beautiful laceleaf dwarf Japanese maple in my previous zone 5 home..... it's my favourite tree and I miss it so much! I am not aware of any Japanese Maple growing in the prairies, so if anyone is aware of it, I would love to know too! |
- Posted by donaldvancouver cool wet z8 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 9, 13 at 23:18
Hi- Bloodgood is a very popular red-leafed Japanese maple. I have never seen it grow colder than zone 5. Amur maple is your best bet on the prairies- you don't get the nice leaf shape but the tree profile isn't too far off and the beautiful fall colour is similar. |
Now, that's some brilliant color! Unfortunately, even in a very sheltered micoclmate, I have yet to come across anyone on the Canadian prairie growing a Japanese maple without providing it with winter protection. I did have a 'Emperor 1' growing in a large pot I'd set in the unheated attached garage for the winter, but I had let it dry out too much and lost the thing :( |
- Posted by rosecavalier 3 AB (My Page) on Mon, Nov 11, 13 at 12:03
Thanks for the comments...and photo of the Amur maple, beegood...just planted one at my daughter's place this fall...good reviews on this forum. Japanese maples have the pleasing fabulous colors and texture...often throughout the summer too. Color in the fall is a real bonus for us northerners...here is a photo of a thornless r. canina...a stone's throw from the maple |
Would love to grow a rose with rose hips like that but looks my zone is too cold. |
- Posted by rosecavalier 3 AB (My Page) on Mon, Nov 11, 13 at 17:45
Doesn't that seem to be the case...maybe a little too often! Actually, my unsubstantiated feeling is that this rose wouldn't be too difficult to winter here...canes are somewhat supple and would lend themselves to lowering to the ground to be covered...if you're up for it. It's a wild rose and one of the best hip displays I've seen. Typically they have vicious thorns...I once tried to pick an apple on a tree that had been engulfed by one of these...never again. Also, that same bush had numerous bird nests near the apple I was savouring...now I know why. But the one in the photo is thornless! |
- Posted by northspruce z3a MB CDA (My Page) on Mon, Nov 11, 13 at 23:54
I agree that an Amur maple offers at least as much as that Bloodgood - although it is very beautiful. I have an Amur which I have decided to let grow into a tree and it's grown quite quickly. I know of some properties around here with long rows of Amurs and they are stunning in fall. My Morden Centennial rose surprised me with lots of very big hips this fall. I bought it half dead for $3 and never really look at it but the hips make me do a double take when I was covering stuff up. |
- Posted by shillanorth 4A (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 0:14
Beegood - may I ask what variety that is - absolutely stunning!!!! Thanks for the eye candy. Shilla |
All I remember is that it was an Amur Maple. Got it The Big Greenhouse in Spruce Grove several years back. The deer keep it trimmed back pretty well. |
- Posted by shillanorth 4A (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 12:01
Thanks beegood - I remember The Big Greenhouse well - I used to stop in there on my way south. |
The Big Greenhouse is a mere ten minute drive and a favorite stop of mine where I'll sometimes come across rare and hard to find plants. |
I think it's a great green house too and I live east of Edmonton. Did people ever ask what the name of it was when you told them you'd been to the big green house in Spruce grove. I had that happen a few times. |
- Posted by shillanorth 4A (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 20:23
We northerners knew it well - it was such an oasis and feast for the senses when we hit ``the south```!!!! |
Beegood, what Big Greenhouse are you talking about, you mean the one along the highway on the east side of Spruce Grove? lol ... yep, it happens, lol. |
That's the one. !! Really like going there as they have a real variety of plants. Especially perennials and shrubs etc. |

Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang
Can't. Wait.
Posted on February 11th, 2011 - Filed under Hip-Hop Dopeness,Hot Videos,Music
Tags :: animation, anime, hip hop, kung fu, Raekwon, Shaolin, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, The Chef, The Wu, trailer, Wu-Tang Clan
Can't. Wait.
This is pretty much the way you do current, but stay (essentially) you.
This song's charms – a very basic beat hidden in slightly cacophonous production, the vocal distortions – reveal themselves pretty quickly, but deepen on subsequent listens. With the right video treatment, this could really be a big single for Redman I think.
But then, Reggie probably wouldn't give a damn. Though I've always felt that Lil Wayne owed Redman royalties for stealing his whole persona and career, in truth, Redman is not unhinged and insane the way Wayne is. He's not an outsized persona that cleverly masks average mic skills. He's just a gleefully simple dude who likes his weed, his women and having a good time.
Of course, one shouldn't see the word "simple" and think that Redman isn't a beast on the mic. Because he is a beast on the mic. But for all the boasts in his material – and there's plenty here ("i'll blow ya mind out/with a dynamite/Louis Vuitton belt") – Redman is the quintessential hip-hop journeyman. He diligently, consistently churns out very strong material to a small, dedicated fanbase that enjoys him for being Redman, nothing more. He is uninterested in doing anything other than making the music he wants to make for the audience that rides and dies for him.
There really is something to be said for that. At this point in the life of hip hop, journeymen are the ones we look to to make sure hip hop is still there, alive and kicking. And artists like Redman will never get the attention and the accolades, even though many of us would be quick to cite Reggie as one of the best currently working. And I'm sure he'd be fine with that.
The hip-hop journeymen do it for the love of it. In ways that are far less cliche and sentimental than that statement intimates.
I haven't watched a music awards show in ages. And errybody knows I think BET is largely responsible for all the ills in the black community and that I think everyone involved with it will go to that level of hell with the lawyers and Judas.
But it looks like BET stepped its game up in one major way on the BET Hip Hop Awards this year by having 5 cyphers with an array of emcees, all of whom acquitted themselves quite nicely (even Kanye who, with this performance and his Monster verse, seems poised to be the emcee that people foolishly think he already is).
But this one was my favorite:
Wait…wait…run that back again. Watch Cube and Run closely:
The word "insouciant" jumped into my head when I watched Ice Cube and Rev. Run in this video cause real heads use that word all the time lol. Cube and Run perform like they don't even know that they are (ostensibly) too old for this form. There is not a single moment of doubt in either of them. The confidence is not even confidence, man. They are beyond all that.
This is what it is to watch masters do what masters do.
I'm reminded watching this that the emcees around the way that always struck me the deepest as a kid were the unassuming cats who stepped into the cypher and ran the shit almost like it was second nature. Offhandedly. It wasn't boastful. Not really. It wasn't showy – with lots of moving around and arms punctuating the line.
Naw son, it was death by a thousand shallow cuts. And you ain't even know you was cut and bleedin and dying until a few seconds after dude dropped the mic.
Or as Run says here:
"stunning, cunning and funny
'cause Run be running this art"
*places fist over mouth* *jumps up and down* *gives Run dap* OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!
Before Tupac and Lord Jamar, LL Cool J was the emcee I wanted to be like. I went through a stupid number of cassette tapes of Bigger and Deffer before I finally got a CD and treated it like the Holy damn Grail.
As we all know, over time LL's attention was split and he fell off hard, releasing shitty album after shitty album. But there was a brief period in the late 90s — you know, around the time he was beefin wit Canibus — when I thought LL was going to reassert his dominance and become the longest running great rapper alive.
This verse is one of the main reasons why:
I'm incredible I mix up shit like cake mix
Keep it blazin hot, rhymes burn to keep you frost bit
MC's is assed out cause they lost it
Peep my foundation, the way I reinforce it
I monitor movements precisely
Makin niggas hit high notes like the Isleys
Finally some asses I can touch up
Tie em to the grill of my Six pop the clutch up
Hush up I rush up, inside your cut
Make you puss up, then bust up, cause my shit bumps
This Don's Trumps, kill straight cats and all chumps
Cause "Life is like a box of chocolate," Mr. Gump
Uh, the ultimatum, lets abbreviate em
LL platinum again, don't you hate 'im?
A thin line between darkness and sunshine
Five Percenters that was raised on swine
Known to be wise, and you wise to understand
Bringin me drama's a handstand in quicksand
I've been hot so long, I'm immune
Your rap career get cut short like Poom-Pooms
Simply – economy of phrasing. There are no extra words in this verse. Every word hits hard.
I miss LL….*sigh*
Enjoy the crazy-ass video:
Treach has always been the heart, soul AND fire of Naughty By Nature. Vin anchored all of this nicely. On this joint Vin actually steps his game up and spits a lil fire himself. It's straightforward and dope as shit!
See I'm a one man dynasty; motherfucker
every artist on your label don't equal half of me
Rippin lyrics like they supposed to be, most'll be
plottin dreamin and scheamin to get close to me
Cause I spit shit, rip shit quick, and I'm sick wit
lyrics to mash that ass is what I'm equipped wit
So fine-tune that bullshit, bring your best competitor
I'll be on that ass as if I was a fuckin Predator
Niggaz wanna battle at a show, yeah I'll set it up
I go toe to toe, blow for blow and leave it wetted up
My time to hypnotize you, OK?
Never disrespectin the laws of Nature — Obey Yo' Thirst
Vin Rock'll serve as the quenchin
Here's the last thing I'd like to mention
That when it's time to set it off, trust me son
I ain't the motherfuckin click, I'm the motherfuckin one
I do my dirt all by my lonely..
Sony sucks and won't let you embed the video (watch it here), but peep this live performance of the song. Drop the needle at 0:54 for this the whole performance. Treach seems a bit bored but Vin brings the requisite fire for his verse.

I'll add when I worked in quickservice food and beverage, they told us we had to decline 3 times and then we were allowed to take it. This usually had to do with tips, but I guess if you were offered something else you could have accepted it. Never happened to me, but characters are quite different as well. I was unaware we couldn't ask for food doing a dinner meet and greet (was totally joking around when I pointed at some shrimp and pasta at the buffet) and they gave me a to go box anyways, but I'm about 90% sure I could have gotten in trouble for that. (also note, this was when I worked at Universal, not Disney, so different company and different rules)
I'd say take it and if anything give it to their greeter or Peter Pan and see what happens, he'll probably be happy to get it.
The cards you are talking about are called "great service fanatic card"..i received 5 or 6 during my CRP program at EPCOT and it's really an amazing way to receive recognition from the guest for giving it everything that you have. twice even my managers filled out those cards for me because they witnessed me making a guest very happy
When I visited WDW in Sept 2012 I made it my goal to fill out at least one service fanatic card every day - recognition for their services is something that CMs unfortunately get too rarely, so this is what I would recommend you doing if you want to tell someone that he or she did a great job (and it makes the CM eligible for some kind of "lottery" where they can win - I think - cruises or such. Chances of winning are linked to the # of cards that a CM has received)

Take Two for January 4, 2013
San Diego moves forward with plan to build $1 billion desalination plant
This image provided by the San Diego County Water Authority shows an artist rendering of a proposed desalination plant, center right, superimposed over an aerial photograph, in Carlsbad, Calif. The proposed plant will be the Western Hemisphere's largest desalination plant.
Most Americans get their drinking water from fresh water sources like lakes and rivers, or from groundwater drawn from wells.
But freshwater supplies are falling at a time when demand is rising. Now a massive effort is underway in southern California to make drinking water out of something there's plenty of: Sea water.
San Diego water authorities are planning the largest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. The project's developer closed financing for the nearly $1 billion project just last week.
With more is Alison St. John, a reporter for PBS in San Diego.

Absolute Wooden Kayaks |
Why buy our kayak kit? ~ Completely built wooden kayaks ~Special items ~ Français |
Click "Kit details" above for additional information.
General assembly drawing for Sea Wolf.
Stable, high performance kayaks. Our Absolute Wooden Kayaks
are high performance sea kayaks, built
from our kayak kits and designed for discriminating paddlers who prefer
the beauty, lightweight and efficiency of a wooden kayak. Stitch and glue construction. Our well proven design is built using the Stitch and Glue process.
Using our in-house design method enables us to create the fine bow
entry and the exceptionally efficient hull shape. Accurate and strong finger joints. Wherever the hull panels of our kayak kits must be joined, a specially designed and incredibly strong finger joint has already been cut into the panels. This joint is the result of lengthy research and trials. Scarf joints on thin plywood panels such as used in building our kayaks, are first of all tricky to cut accurately, they may not leave a nice straight and well defined line and they can slide around too much, making it difficult to align. Butt joints will align better in one direction than scarf joints, but they require more work as they need to be backed up with something. If not carefully done, they can leave a flat spot on the finished panel. Our finger joint accurately aligns in both directions, (it can't do anything else) quickly and without hassle. It also looks great if you want to bright finish your hull. To see what our finger looks like, go to the Photo Gallery. What's included in your kit? For more information on what's included, click on Kit
details Our kayak kits are built with hatches that
can be omitted if you prefer. Permanent plywood bulkheads ensure
perfect hull shape and alignment as well as providing forward
and aft flotation chambers or storage compartments. Some designs
use foam for bulkheads, the shape of which is often determined
by trial and error, and then they're fitted after the hull is
assembled. These are very difficult to seal and don't contribute
much to shape, strength, or alignment as you build. Others use
temporary forms which are removed after the hull is built. Our
experience shows us that our built in bulkheads not only improve
strength, but ensure accuracy and proper hull shape. Because they
also stiffen the hull, they contribute considerably to hull efficiency
making it easier to paddle. Really comfortable. KEEPERS Adjustable foot braces are included. Complete deck rigging with all fittings are also included. We are dedicated to offering the most beautiful, efficient, and lightweight sea-kayaks that you can build or buy. |

In the tube, it comes off as a dark, shimmery red shade, but on my lips it's quite light. I love the texture of these glosses - not tacky in the least. They do need constant reapplying, though. That orangey scent isn't quite as potent in my tube like in the previous tubes I've worn, but that's fine with me. I'm okay with the scent either way. It doesn't bother me - in fact, I like it. I do find that these glosses need assistance with a lip liner and I lined my lips with Jordana's "Cherry" lip liner. A perfect match. All in all, I'm satisfied with this gloss.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Green
The color of this gloss disappointed me badly. It looks very nice soft golden red in the packaging, but on swatches and on the lips it is the brightest fucshia with almost invisible golden glitter. Not for me, but if you love fucshia - give it a try.
To my opinion NYX Round Lip Glosses are just as good as Mega Shine Lip Glosses. They are cheaper (mine were $1.50 each with international shipping), but you get less product too. Round glosses are somewhat less pigmented than Mega Shine, but many of the colors are unique and very beautiful.
Of 10 glosses I've got 3 have new scent, very similar to the Mega Shine. I believe this is their new formula. The rest glosses have lemon-citrus smell, not unpleasant to me, but I think the new one is much better.

Specifically, the timed-release pellets. I have some Nutricote and some Peters in the shed that have been there for, oh, 2 to 4 or more years. The shed is under the deck in a corner formed by the house, so it's shaded and somewhat protected, but it has no climate control.
Will the temperature extremes have taken enough of a toll on the fertilizer that I should just chuck it? There's not that much left, but I hate to waste it if it's still OK. |

It is my understanding that fertilizers are generally okay for about a year, but they start to deteriorate after that. The deterioration would be faster in a warm and damp environment. If it were mine, I would not take a chance with it. Hmm, that reminds me I have some closet cleaning to do myself! Will Creed |
See if there's a toll free number on the packaging. If not, you can find an information number on line. They will be able to answer the question for you. |
The concept of CRF is a simple one: Manufacturers start with a granular soluble fertilizer, then coat it with a semi-permeable polymer membrane. As water passes through the membrane into the fertilizer core, nutrients within the fertilizer go into suspension (dissolve). Because the concentration of nutrients is higher inside the membrane, nutrients begin to diffuse out through the membrane by a natural process called osmosis. The osmotic release will continue until such time as there is no longer a nutrient concentration difference across the membrane, effectively, until nutrients within the CRF pellets are exhausted. So, CRF actually never goes bad. Even if it's exposed to some moisture and a portion of the fertilizer leaches out from the granules, only a small volume of fertilizer contained within the pellets is affected. As soon as the solute concentration in the area immediately surrounding the pellet equalizes with the concentration inside the pellet, fertilizer inside the pellet can no longer dissolve and pass through the membrane. Al |
Al, that makes a great deal of sense. Thank you! They should have stayed dry, so I'm good to go. How about a water soluble granular fertilizer such as MiracleGro. How long will that store? |
Indefinitely. Even if it gets all gunky from absorbing water from the air, it will still be equally effective as new product, though perhaps not as convenient to use. If it turns to a semi-liquid, remember to measure out less product because there will be little air in what you're using. This would, in effect, make a higher concentration using the same volume (all product - no air). Al |
Thanks again, Al! I've never had it get all gunky, just a tad damp, like slightly damp sand. You've saved me from buying a lot of unnecessary fertilizer! |

This is great to know. I found a truckload of fertilizers today in an outdoor storage closet of a foreclosed condo where I live. Plus two new bottles of weed killer. The place has been vacant for two years so I don't think anyone will be coming back for it. There was an unopened large osmocote, an unopened miracle grow and 3 or 4 other partially used containers of the same. It was like like opening a winning lottery ticket. |

(ABC 6 News) -- The Victim Notification Bill that is currently being discussed in the House will allow victims of violent crimes to have the specific zip code as to where the offender resides.
Area of residence is something that has been available to victims in Olmsted and Mower counties for a while now, but this law codifies it, according to Jeanne Ronayne with victim services.
"The more information victims have access to, the abundant information that will help them take actions to keep themselves safe, and at the same time the state is balancing that with the need for an offender to have some privacy and be able to re-enter successfully into the community," said Ronayne.
While the zip code or area of residence could soon be open to victims, the specific address is still confidential.
Victims will still have to request this information to be available to them, but should they do so, it would be required that the state give the zip code to them.

Economics. Mind Body Psychology. LGBT rights. Boring old sexism. There's a reason more liberals shop at Trader Joe's. The cliché that liberals shop at Trader Joe's, while conservatives prefer Walmart, is no doubt overstated.
But where would the perception come from? Newly published research provides a compelling answer: brand-name products. Conservatives gravitate toward them, and Walmart, unlike Trader Joe's, is packed with them. That provocative conclusion can be drawn from a study in the journal Psychological Science.

Social inclusion. Sociometry. Sexual abuse. LIVING WITH RAD. Feminism. Workin' hard for the money: Dancers on poverty line. The average professional dancer in New York City earns only $28,000 a year, according to a study to be released Monday by Dance NYC.
The amount is just above the nation's poverty line. Of that income, just 55% comes from dance jobs, on average. More than 40% of the dancers surveyed earned less than $5,000 from the dance industry, according to the report, "Dance Workforce Census: Earnings Among Individuals 21-35." Could A 16-Hour Work Week Save Civilization? The question is: If Americans wanted to retain compensation and employment gains between 1987 and 2009, how long would the average American be required to work each week?
Answer: 16 Hours. I was a little reticent to publish this one at first, since it does rather smack of classical Libertarianism (i.e., in the sense of being concerned with "free" time, ergo "liberty").

For centuries, dance manuals and other writings have lauded the health benefits of dancing, usually as physical exercise.

Most recently we've heard of another benefit: Frequent dancing apparently makes us smarter. A major study added to the growing evidence that stimulating one's mind by dancing can ward off Alzheimer's disease and other dementia, much as physical exercise can keep the body fit.

LOS ANGELES POISED TO BE THE FIRST MAJOR U.S. CITY TO CALL FOR END TO CORPORATE PERSONHOOD. Grassroots Momentum Builds Toward Passage of a Constitutional Amendment LOS ANGELES, CA – Next week the Los Angeles City Council will vote on a resolution that calls on Congress to amend the Constitution to clearly establish that only living persons -- not corporations -- are endowed with constitutional rights and that money is not the same as free speech.
If this resolution is passed, Los Angeles will be the first major city in the U.S. to call for an end to all corporate constitutional rights. The campaign in Los Angeles is the latest grassroots effort by Move to Amend, a national coalition working to abolish corporate personhood. "Local resolution campaigns are an opportunity for citizens to speak up and let it be known that we won't accept the corporate takeover of our government lying down," said Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, a national spokesperson for Move to Amend.

United Airlines CEO Parody. Berkeley in the Sixties. U.N. Envoy: U.S. Isn't Protecting Occupy Protesters' Rights. WASHINGTON -- The United Nations envoy for freedom of expression is drafting an official communication to the U.S. government demanding to know why federal officials are not protecting the rights of Occupy demonstrators whose protests are being disbanded -- sometimes violently -- by local authorities.

PSA Emotional Abuse V-Day UW 2012. Learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is a mental state in which an organism forced to endure aversive stimuli, or stimuli that are painful or otherwise unpleasant, becomes unable or unwilling to avoid subsequent encounters with those stimuli, even if they are escapable, presumably because it has learned that it cannot control the situation.[1] Learned helplessness theory is the view that clinical depression and related mental illnesses may result from a perceived absence of control over the outcome of a situation.[2] Organisms that have been ineffective and less sensitive in determining the consequences of their behaviour are defined as having acquired learned helplessness.[3] Foundation of research and theory[edit] Seligman and Maier[edit]
Amazon. Thank You, Facebook: The Social Network as Mideast Hero - Global. Occupying foreclosures - Newstips by Curtis Black. Abandoned homes being occupied in Belmont Cragin and Auburn Gresham on Tuesday – part of a national day of action called by Occupy Our Homes – underscore the failure of banks to deal with the foreclosure crisis. In Belmont Cragin, Communities United Against Foreclosure and Eviction are moving two homeless sisters and their children into a single family home that was abandoned sometime after foreclosure was filed in 2009. The group couldn't determine whether a final disposition has been made on the property. They think it could be one of the thousands of "red flag" properties, where banks and loan servicers "may choose to reduce the costs associated with a long-term vacant home by walking away from the foreclosure process instead of completing it" in order to evade the costs and legal reponsibilities of ownership, according to a Woodstock Institute report (see earlier post).

Pondering the influence of non-musical influences on our musical tastes
Categories: Music News
Those of you who keep tabs on our Heavy Rotation feature may have noticed that Fabio Frizzi's score for Zombi 2 (aka Zombie, aka Zombie Flesh Eaters), and the main theme from it has popped up a couple of times on my list. And it will probably continue to appear for another week, maybe two. That's because I've been obsessed with it, like I sometimes get obsessed with albums or bands, listening to it over and over again. And it's pushing me to look up more film scores, as well as similar instrumental music, like ambient. Had I not fallen in love with the movie first, I never would have heard this, and it never would have pushed me in that direction.
I'm equally as fascinated with Japanese pop. My initial intro to the genre left me disinterested, since I took it to be overly cutesy and saccharine, with very little redeeming musical value. Then came Katamari Damacy, the insane rolling-things-up masterpiece with a soundtrack of fantastic J-pop and J-lounge music. At first I found it kind of annoying, but as I played more, I began to appreciate the amazing variety of influences incorporated in the music.
In this saccharine pop, there were threads of everything from classical music to acid techno, not to mention familiar Western pop (as in Western hemisphere, not country-Western) influences, all bound together with cutesy vocals and hummable melodies. And if I hadn't played the game, I don't think I ever would have spent enough time with the style to look past its surface qualities and see what it really had to offer.
So what about you? What forces outside of music have conspired to influence your taste in music?
[Ed. note: Eryc Eyl pondered this exact same topic from an entirely different perspective in a pair of March installments of his Mile High Makeout column.]

Backblaze: Hard drive temps don't affect failure rates
The storage wizards at Backblaze have been analyzing the statistics on drive failures in their huge storage facilities, then posting the results on their blog. Today's stats are rather interesting, taking a look at how drive temperatures affect failure rates. The bottom line? Contrary to the long-standing belief that hot drives fail sooner, their statistics show that only hot-running drives from one manufacturer seem to have a higher than usual failure rate.
Brian Beach of Backblaze took a look at the data, which comprises results from more than 34,000 drives. Their Backblaze Storage Pods use big fans so that the drives are usually quite cool, but the study showed absolutely no correlation between temperature and failure rates for the entire population of varied drives from a number of manufacturers.
It was when the company started looking at individual drive models that a correlation appeared. Beach notes that the average temperatures for drives used in the Storage Pods run from 21.92°C (71.45°F) for the "green" Seagate Barracuda LP drives to a relatively steamy 30.54°C (86.97°F) for Seagate's Barracuda XT drives.
Digging even further, Backblaze was able to show that only one drive model -- the Seagate ST31500541AS 1.5 TB drive -- shows an increase in failure rate as temperatures rise. The overall result was that "As long as you run drives well within their allowed range of operating temperatures, keeping them cooler doesn't matter."

When should hospice discussion begin? - page 3
note: i originally posted this in the critical care section with some reads and no responses so i posted here. thanks! i am a nursing student (pre-licensure bsn) and have been impressed by the... Read More
0Jul 5, '11 by LMTRNI am a hospice nurse that works in a local hospital, doing admissions and followups on current patients that come in.
The hospital system I work with has a "Quality of life" team. They have patients all through the hospital, but they sit in on the "grand rounds" in the ICU. The qlife team works closely with the hospice team, often referring patients to us.
The qlife team says there are "buzz words" for patients, and doctors routinely write for consults for them if the patient is: on a vent, over a certain age, multiple hospitalizations for the same issues. Not all qlife patients make it to hospice, but it's a good stepping stone. -
0Jul 12, '11 by SteeleworksI have just about finished my book on hospice. In researching it, there is one study that is just getting underway that expects that over 1000K patients annually are DBA or Die Before Admission to hospice. One, literally in the ambulance from the hospital to the home.
Another study when I was just getting started in hospice found that 78% of patients who qualify for hospice do not get admitted.
The answer, similar but sooner than what Used Nurse said, we should be talking about it in our young adulthood. When people get closer to their mortality they are more reluctant to speak about it.
Even in nursing school, I was taught a number of misconceptions about hospice. Although this has probably changed, no wonder so few actually want it.
And the best part, every year in my last job, we would have to fire about 4-6 patients because they no longer qualify for hospice. Some have other terms for this but the bottom line, they got better with our care.
This is because hospice helps people live the last days of their lives. Some, a very few, perhaps just change their mind about dying.

The expert teppanyaki chefs at Ichiban use their iron griddles as the primary tools in building a menu that sizzles with steaks, seafood, and noodle dishes, and a sushi bar that unfurls with makimono. Although the sushi wears its Japanese pride on its seaweed sleeve, both steakhouses also boast a streak of avant-garde international influence, with such offerings as the seared salmon roll––salmon skin and cucumber topped with seared salmon and salsa ($13). The Crazy roll's deliciousness makes diners believe that their tongues are flavor magnets with morsels of shrimp tempura, avocado, flying-fish roe, and spicy mayo ($7). Hibachi dinner entrees—such as the filet mignon and scallops ($22.95)—arrive with an entourage of sides that include two pieces of shrimp tempura, vegetables, and steamed rice (substitute fried rice for $1.65).
Founded in 1947 as a poker hall for traveling tycoons, The Clarmont became a steakhouse when it fell out of fashion to use grilled beef slabs as chips. Since then, the Columbus institution has added seafood and fresh fish offerings to its sumptuous menu. The culinary fireworks begin at dinner with the always-goes-fast prime rib of beef ($19.59), seasoned and roasted on-site each day, or The Clarmont's 50-year standby: 12 ounces of filet mignon ($30.99), which you can top with fresh mushrooms ($2.99), drizzle with port demi-glace ($2.95), and side with french-fried onion rings ($4.79/full order), among other things. Beyond the beef, discriminating diners can branch out into lamb osso bucco ($23.99), Long Island duckling in a bing cherry glaze ($21.99), or potato-encrusted salmon in an orange horseradish beurre blanc ($19.99). A wine menu featuring 17 by-the-glass options, such as Italian Al Verdi Pinot Grigio ($5.25), and more than 100 bottle options are available to pair with delectable dishes, as well as lubricate conversation that's been desiccated by too many office anecdotes.
At Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse, it?s not unusual to spot a movie star sipping martinis or a politician savoring their first bite of a juicy porterhouse. And the menu at this classic American steakhouse?which operates in eight cities across America?is just as impressive as the clientele it attracts. At each location, an Executive Chef expertly prepares USDA Prime dry-aged steaks and stacks shellfish bouquets with lobster, oysters, and other marine delicacies flown in fresh daily.?Savor classic cocktails or choose from an award-winning wine list, which includes Smith & Wollensky's exclusive Private Reserve?Cuv?e Meritage or Sauvignon Blanc. And if you want an excuse to linger, each location's resident Pastry Chef whips up mouthwatering specialty desserts, featuring the Gigantic Chocolate Cake and Coconut Layer Cake.
Don't Miss:
Knives swish through the air behind the sushi bar at Ajisai Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi, slicing red snapper, yellowtail tuna, and other fresh seafood for sashimi platters and elaborate rolls such as the Tuna Dynasty, which combines crisp cucumber with crab tempura, black-pepper tuna, eel, cream cheese, and avocado. Hibachi chefs sear filet mignon, lobster tails, and other proteins on tableside grills, pairing them with sizzling rice and other sides. Natural-wood accents and a hanging chandelier lend the eatery a subdued yet sophisticated ambiance.
The pit master at World Bar-B-Que works hard slow-cooking Carolina-style pulled pork, Texas brisket, and St. Louis–style pork ribs, imbuing each meat with distinctive barbecue bark and deep, smoky flavors. After the cuts have smoked for 6–15 hours, diners take over with finishing touches, adorning their choice of meats with sauces such as sweet-and-spicy blackberry habanero and classic sides such as potato salad and baked beans. They can also forge everything from smoked and beer-soaked burgers to authentic Cuban sandwiches.
On certain nights, patrons can finish off meaty cuts and showcase their singing chops with open-mic and karaoke sessions. The generous eatery also sets aside one day a week for a "World Invasion"—a chance for local groups, charitable organizations, or extraterrestrial barbecue-reconnaissance parties to take over the restaurant and receive a portion of the evening's sales.
Following the lead of Paris-trained owner and chef Mike Mariola, City Square's skilled cooks quench carnivorous cravings with Chicago-style steakhouse fare. The menu invites patrons to warm up mouth muscles with a cup of the signature seafood bisque ($6.75–$9.25) or dive into a dish of homemade parmesan-cheese fries drizzled in truffle oil ($8.50). Meat seekers may partake in succulent slabs of USDA choice or prime beef, such as the 10-ounce peppered strip steak smothered in shallot sauce ($26.95), 12-ounce rib eye ($26.95), or Filet Oscar, a mixed bag of twin filet-mignon medallions caught up in a whirlwind of crabmeat, asparagus, and political intrigue ($28.95). Vegetarians can chew on the caesar salad ($6.50) or garden pasta, a mélange of vegetables served over freshly made penne in a garlic white-wine sauce ($16.95), and an extensive beer, wine, and martini list summons intrepid imbibers to cap off any meal with liquid-induced warm fuzzies.

I'm pretty excited to have just ordered my first apple trees (just moved to a place in the country where I can try out a small orchard!), and I'm pretty confident I know what to do regarding planting and pruning, but I'm not sure about spraying. I've heard that it's more or less impossible to get apples without spraying down here, so I'm all geared up to do that (planning on using the chart on the Johnson's Nursery website to start off), but I'm not sure when to start. Do I start right away when they're teeny baby trees, or should I hold off until they're a couple years old and ready to start producing? |

Can anyone out there that uses Imidan or Captan tell me how much they use per gallon of water? I know There is a gentleman from Wi or Mn that uses, but I don't know how to make contact. Thanks, Gala Gala 1 |
Based on advice of former poster and fruit wizard, Jellyman, I use 1 TBS per gallon Imidan. I believe Jellyman was only using 3/4 TBS but I just use one full one for ease. Captan is 2 TBS per gallon. I'm pretty sure that's the dosage on the label. |
What a great 'overall' orchard sched, Well done Scott! Mrs. G |

"Vanguard" is another word for "leader." It's a fitting name for a gastrobar opening in Bay View, which is seeing no dearth of commercial development (just ask Ald. Tony Zielinski). The Vanguard (2659 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.) will see the light of day this summer. June, if co-owner Jim McCann has his way. McCann, a Buffalo native and Bay View transplant, is a partner in the well-regarded bar-restaurant Longman & Eagle in the Chicago neighborhood of Logan Square. His partner, Chris Schulist, has been a longtime bartender at Bay View's Cactus Club. The Vanguard drink menu will be wide and likely quite interesting, given McCann's background is in whiskeys and bourbons. The partners also plan to serve draft (on-tap) cocktails, as well as wine and beer. Their chef, Shay Linkus (formerly of Odd Duck) is centering the menu around sausages -- classic to fancy to vegetarian. Some sides will be available, as well. They plan to serve food from 11 a.m. on, and in various capacities. You'll be able to dine at the bar, at one of the tables in the dining/bar area, and at the sizable patio in back. You'll also be able to order food to-go. Besides adding a kitchen and making lots of cosmetic changes, the partners are opening up the front of the space to make the facade more inviting.

Compro IP70 Network Camera
Article Author :
Date :
24th Sep 2010
Comments :
The Compro IP70 security camera is a static high-resolution day and night camera, intended for indoor usage with a network connection. It is suited to applications such as home/office security, where an area can be monitored using a networked camera that can interface to a NAS storage device or provide remote streaming. As you may expect, if the camera is connected to an internet facing router, you can configure it to provide remove access allowing you to view the camera using any PC or many smartphones. The ability to view the camera using an iPhone or similar device is definitely one of the product selling points.
Plenty of features are provided, such as IR nightvision, two-way audio communication and a high resolution CMOS sensor. Although there is no built-in wifi support, the camera can be upgraded with a low-cost USB wireless adaptor. Sensibly, there is also a microSD slot so that recoding can continue even if the external storage device is disconnected.
A decent resolution is important on a security camera, so a maximum quality of 1280x1024px at 15fps is ideal. If you require a higher framerate, the resolution can be dropped down to 640x480 at 30fps (if for example, the camera is to be used for streaming). Night-vision is another important feature, as this is when security cameras are most likely to be used (no doubt many offices are in use during the day!) so the IP 70 includes an array of IR LEDs which can illuminate an area to provide an adequate image during the dark.
The full feature list encompasses:
1/3" CMOS Megapixel sensor
Day and night functionality with mechanical IR cut filter switching
Built-in IR lamp with light sensor
Supports real-time H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG compression (Triple Codec)
Supports dual streams simultaneously
Support 4x digital zoom
Video resolution is up to 1280 x 1024 pixels
Image frame rate is up to 30 frames under 640x480 or 15 frames under 1280 x 1024
Smart motion detection
Two way audio with built-in MIC and speaker
Support UPnP (universal plug and play)
Support 10/100 802.3/Ethernet
802.11b/g/n WLAN on applicable model (Optional W155 wireless adaptor)
Digital I/O for External Sensor and Alarm (2 In/1 Out)
Supports local storage (MicroSD / MicroSDHC), Snapshot
Remote monitoring from 3GPP mobile or phones with web browser (e.g. iPhone/BlackBerry)
Hotmail and Gmail SSL webmail notification support
Support video recording to local (MicroSD/SDHC) and remote (NAS/NFS) storage.
Support live video watch in FireFox, Safari, Google Chrome web browsers. (with VLC Plug-in installed)
The IP 70 feels solid and well-constructed and there is no mistaking it for anything other than a security camera. The front of the unit houses the camera lens, light sensor, IR LED array, speaker, microphone and status LED. The microSD slot is located on the side of the device, with the rear containing a 2 x 3.5mm sockets (mic/audio-out), power socket, LAN connection, wifi USB socket, reset button and a customisable IO ports.

Greetings, I just bought my first house last year and am landscaping the yard (I've never had a garden until now either - chuckle). Starting from the center and working out I plan to put a triad of tall narrow conifers (Juniperus V. Monbells) around a tiered fountain. Joe Pyeweed between the conifers, Chamecyparis Dwarf Golden Mop one each side. A Phorium Tenax next to fountion, Kobold Liatris, Iberis Candytuft and Ameria Seathrift too. At the very outer edges will likely be Japanese Snowbell trees, one on each end. Can you see it?
Now I need recommendations for an ornamental grass that will look good with the gold and blue tones to take over the show when Joe Pye dies down around Aug or Sep. Preferably not invasive and at least 4 feet tall to use at the back of border. Any suggestions? I thought red or purple would look good but am open to other suggestions. I have clay soil, Ph 7-7.5, summer temperatures reach into the 90s and triple digits, yard faces west so lots of sun. I already have Japanese Blood Grass, Pennisetum Karly Rose, Morining light Miscanthus, Bowles Golden Carex, Silver Dragon Liriope, and Mondo Grass I put in last year around a dry creek bed. I lost the Pink Muhly over the winter - Boo Hoo it was so Beautiful! I may try it again but be sure to cover with straw in winter, I'm learning. Thanks for any tips. |

Thanks Don. It is so hard to tell by looking at pics on the internet. Guess I'll have to get up from this computer and go visit some nurseries this Fall. I like the Panicum virgtums, pretty and less invasive than Miscanthus sinensis. Appreciate your chiming in. |

Miscanthus sinensis 'Purpurascens' would be my recommendation. It doesn't get very large. My clump in Zone 5B stays between 3-4 feet tall, about 1.5 foot around, and doesn't sprawl. There's a picture on the blog page below, but the red color gets much deeper later in the fall than this picture was taken. |

Very nice professorroush, thank you. I doubt I would have discovered this on my own. I think this is just the ticket I was looking for. |

Panicum Shenandoah has red highlights in the foliage almost from the beginning of the season, with the red increasing with more weeks of heat, and then getting a further boost in the fall - at least here in southern NH. The red color is heat-driven, so there will be less of it in cooler years and/or cooler climates. It's a definite beauty here for folks who want the deep red. |

You know that one guy friend of yours who's always been something of a question in the back of your mind? The one who finishes your sentences and is there for you whenever you need him, but whom you've never actually gotten naked with? You know the one – he's the prime candidate for your "If we're not married by the time we're 45" pact.
I have one of those guys in my life, and recently, after evaluating what it was that I'm really looking for in a relationship and thinking it might be him, I decided to take the leap. I vowed to be brave and bold and all mature-like and actually address aloud what had been unsaid for all this time.
So, I did exactly that. And basically, this happened. To my complete and utter surprise, he explained that I'd totally misread his signals; that, in fact, he hadn't thought of me in that way for a very long time.
Where, in my interpretation of things, had I gone so utterly wrong? Keep reading »
