Welcome to the Southern OceanCollision in the Southern Ocean - photo by JoAnne McArthur .The Southern Ocean is much in the news this week, as many kinds of craft head down there while summer brings the mildest possible conditions. That's still not very mild, and neither are the events that are occurring in the frosty waters. That 'on-the-edge-of-the-law' whale action man Paul Watson from Sea Shepherd is doing plenty of complaining about one of his vessels – Ady Gil, the former Earthrace – being rammed by the Japanese: see the video! Mild is not the word either for the weather sailing-teen Jessica Watson is experiencing as she heads for the Horn by headsail only and with no heater; and in another story, shredded sails have meant the end of a dream for a Swiss sailor who set out for the Antarctic from Cape Town. Then there's that indomitable French sailor Isabelle Autissier who has just left South America for the Antarctic in a much sturdier yacht on a double mission scientific/adventure journey. So it's getting quite busy down there. In other news, this week there's a great chance to win a trip for two in a Rally round Croatia next year by purchasing tickets online in an Australian charity lottery; for those heading in the direction of the Caribbean there is some very good online assistance and online Cruising Guides for Central and South America; and Larry Janke winds up his excellent and comprehensive series on how to care for your batteries when away from professional help.

The country debates a law that directs copper export revenues to the military amid accusations of corruption.
SANTIAGO — Momentum is mounting in Chile to abolish a military expenditures law after recent disclosures that military officers used it to generate illegal commissions.
The secret law — only a select group of government officials are allowed to actually read its details — dates to the late 1950s and mandates that 10 percent of all export revenues from the state-owned copper company Codelco are automatically transferred each year to the military, for the purpose of purchasing weapons and equipment.
Following the disclosure of illegal commissions on weapons purchases in the 1990s, the provision has provoked debate.
Last week a group of lawmakers proposed a constitutional reform that would make defense expenditure subject to annual congressional approval and oversight — the same as the rest of the national budget. Last year, the money transferred to the military under the law totaled almost $1.2 billion, and over the past five years, about $5.3 billion.
Critics say this flow of money isn't proportionate to Chile's strategic defense needs and that it prevents Codelco from doing business in bordering countries that don't want their money funneled to the Chilean military.
The debate is also taking place as Chile is teetering on the brink of what is expected to be the worst economic slump in decades. At a time when unemployment is rapidly inching towards double-digit figures, many believe these funds should instead go towards cushioning the impact of a looming recession.
"No one controls military expenditures," said deputy Gabriel Ascensio, a longtime opponent of the law. "We as legislators don't know how much is spent, how it is spent or on what it is spent."
In January, Chileans learned that former air force chief Ramon Vega — along with at least three other top officers — received up to $15 million in commissions for the $109 million sale of 25 Belgian Mirage warplanes to Chile in the mid-1990s.
A Belgian inquiry into irregularities in a deal with the Chilean air force brought the scandal to light. Now, Chile has opened its own investigation into the commissions. So far, Chilean authorities have indicted four officers on corruption charges and broadened the investigation to several other arms deals.
"It's a secret law so no one really knows exactly what it says; I've never seen the text," said Codelco spokesman Pablo Orozco. "But thanks to Codelco, the armed forces have completely renovated their material: they bought tanks, warships, combat planes."
According to Orozco, a significant portion of the copper money is now financing Chile's peacekeeping operations in Haiti.

Designed for Community Associations
NuBilt Restoration and Construction is proud to announce the re-launch of the Pillar Program, a proactive disaster response effort for multi-family and multi-tenant properties. By working with NuBilt, those responsible for overseeing structures with multiple owners/tenants will have the peace of mind of knowing what to do when the unexpected happens.
The Pillar Program is designed to meet the needs to the specific types of clients that NuBilt serves. As such, we are starting by delivering the Pillar Program for Community Associations. We have tailored the particulars of this program to address the needs of the Condominium and Townhouse Homeowners Associations, and those who manage them. Benefits to those communities that join the Pillar Program include:
- Property Information Report
- Proactive Emergency Response
- Priority Service During an Area-Wide Disaster
- Priority Storm Damage Evaluation
- Dedicated HOA Account Executive
- Extended Warranties & Written Promise of Excellence
- And Much More!
The Pillar Program provides its members the answer to the question:
Do you know what to do when What If turns into What Now?
The program starts with NuBilt working with each member community to assemble a comprehensive Property Information Report. We visit each site to locate those critical utility shut-offs and verify the maps and locations we have on file. That way we can get to the emergency quicker, with the right resources for the property so that the damage sustained during a disaster can be kept to a minimum, and we can begin putting the pieces back together immediately.
Once the report is completed we then provide a copy to the Community Association for their records. We revisit the report annually to make sure all the information is up-to-date and that the needs of the Association are being met.
In addition to enhanced disaster response, in the event of an area wide storm event, we will proactively visit each site and assess any potential damage within 72 hours. So when a severe wind or hail storm hits, members don't have to wait days or weeks to have their property evaluated. If the damage is significant enough, NuBilt can leverage its experience and relationships as a preferred referral vendor with most insurance companies to help through the claims process.
All of the benefits of the Pillar Program are delivered to the Association with Zero Membership Cost. There are no initiation fees or yearly dues to participate in the program. We simply ask to be the first call when an emergent situation arises, and once mitigation is complete, that we are given the opportunity to provide an estimate for any follow-up restoration work that may be necessary to the insurance carrier. If no insurance claim is to be filed, we ask that we are allowed to submit a bid for the restoration work. NuBilt uses the standard insurance price lists and estimating software to ensure members are obtaining a fair and honest estimate.
To spearhead this effort, and to better address the unique needs of multi-family properties, NuBilt has employed an Account Executive dedicated to Community Associations and Multi-Family clients. This means that you have a Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA®) working with you and the Project Manger to ensure that each project goes smoothly.

Some players have such an impact on their teams and fan bases that the idea of them wearing the uniform of another team is just… unfathomable. But it happens, and it happens a lot more these days. Free agency and the salary cap could be to blame, or it could be a lack of loyalty and ties to any one team. Who's to say.
In 2012 we'll see another such legend suit up in a uniform we'd never have previously imagined when Peyton Manning sheds his Indianapolis Colts duds in exchange for a Denver Broncos uni. While it may be hard to see today, in 20-or-so years people are going to forget Manning ever played for the Broncos, let's be honest.
Having said that, let's take a look at some of the more legendary players who signed up for a season or two at the end of their careers with a team many of us would have never associated their names and faces with…
Joe Namath, Los Angeles Rams
Yes, I know it's weird, that's the whole point of this post, but it's true: Broadway Joe did indeed take his act from New York to L.A. following a legendary career as a New York Jet. Namath's forgettable career as a Los Angeles Ram lasted all of four games during the 1977 season.
Namath led the NY Jets to their only Super Bowl title at Super Bowl III in 1968, playing 12 seasons with the Jets and making 126 starts at quarterback from 1965-1976. Over two seasons from 1968-69, the Namath-led Jets went 21-7.
In May of 1977 the Jets waived Namath and he signed with the L.A. Rams quickly thereafter. He made four starts with the Rams that year but suffered an injury and didn't make another appearance, retiring at the end of the '77 season and never playing again.
Johnny Unitas, San Diego Chargers
After 17 seasons as the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Colts, during which his teams won a Super Bowl and an additional three NFL Championships, Johnny Unitas moved across the country to San Diego to finish his career as a Charger at the age of 40.
Johnny's Baltimore Colts teams went an incredible 117-61-4 in the 182 games he started for them, and he had 2,796 completions for 39,768 yards (oh-so-close to 40k).
In 1973, Johnny Unitas was traded to the San Diego Chargers to be their starting quarterback. Unitas lasted four games, during which the Chargers went 1-3, before he was replaced by rookie QB Dan Fouts. He made one last appearance in Week 8 before spending the remainder of the season on the sidelines.
Unitas retired following that 1973 season but was able to surpass the 40,000 passing yards mark while he was with the Bolts.
O.J. Simpson, San Francisco 49ers
Perhaps at this point, seeing O.J. Simpson in anything other than a prison uniform would be considered by most as him being in the "wrong" uniform, but alas we'll stick to the football side of things here. Like the first two on this list, The Juice went to California after spending several seasons back east.
Simpson spent the first nine seasons of his Hall of Fame career with the Buffalo Bills, rushing for over 10,000 yards during that time.
Prior to the 1978 season, the Bills traded the injury-plagued Simpson to San Francisco where he would play the final two seasons of his career. O.J. played 23 games with the 49ers from 1978-1979 where he rushed for another thousand yards. When Simpson retired following the 1979 season was ranked 2nd all-time for rushing yards with 11,236.
And then yadda, yadda, yadda, he'll be eligible for parole in 2017.
Joe Montana, Kansas City Chiefs
Four (yes, FOUR!) Super Bowls, eight Pro Bowls, two MVP awards. That was Joe Montana's career as a San Francisco 49er. Montana played 13 seasons with the 49ers, the final seasons riddled with injuries which limited him to just one appearance over two years.
Because of the injuries, and the emergence of Steve Young as San Fran's new quarterback, Montana was traded to Kansas City in April 1993.
Montana with the Kansas City Chiefs is weird for two reasons. First, the obvious: h eisn't wearing a San Francisco 49ers uniform. But more importantly, the #19?! Montana in anything other than a #16 jersey is just criminal. Montana was reportedly offered the #16 (which had been retired by the Chiefs) but he turned it down.
Unlike the others on this list, Montana was actually quite successful during his time in a wrong uniform. He spent two seasons with the Chiefs, throwing for over 5,000 yards and guiding the team to a 17-8 record over that span. The Montana-led Chiefs made it to the AFC Championship Game before losing to the Bills during Buffalo's string of four consecutive AFC crowns.
After the 1994 season Montana announced his retirement at a special ceremony in San Francisco's Candlestick Park.
Bonus: Joe Montana, New York Jets
Yes, you're right! Joe Montana never played for the New York Jets. He did, however, wear the uniform in a commercial for one of the Madden NFL video games. Advertising the new ability to trade players, in the commercial Joe gets sacked and magically transforms from his KC Chiefs outfit into this NY Jets uniform exclaiming "Oh man! I just bought a house!". He kept his #19 too.
We'll do this again sometime soon, and we'd love to hear who you'd like to see featured in a future edition of the NFL's Legendary Players in Wrong Uniforms.

TyTy has an incredibly bad reputation that has been discussed on these forums many times.....check Garden Watchdog and you will not buy from them I would think :o) Dan |
TyTy has a deplorable reputation according to first hand experience among many GardenWebbers. However, any mention of it has been yanked by the Garden WatchDog for mysterious reasons. It made for some entertaining reading when it WAS there. I've attached a link to a eye opening thread from right here in the GardenWeb. |
Here is a link that might be useful: TyTy
I live in Louisiana. Stokes Tropicals is very nice in person but I have seen a lot of complaints from mail order customers. They may have had hurricane damage as they are close to the Gulf and near Lafayette, but not a direct hit. I really like Gingerwood Nursery, also in Louisiana. Tim Chapman the owner frequents garden web (the ginger forum) and lectures to Master Gardeners about Gingers. He has a very nice web site and twice I emailed him because I had questions about gingers I was interested in and he emailed me back within 24 hours. I have ordered from him twice and have been very pleased both times. There was also a problem with me being double charged for one of the gingers and he fixed it in 24 hours. He has 5 positive ratings on gardenwatchdog and no negatives. |
After much digging and hunting online and coming up with NOTHING about TyTy or why all mention has been pulled from Garden Watchdog, I've come to the following conclusions: 1) It's possible TyTy threatened Garden Watchdog with a lawsuit which Dave's Garden/GWD can't afford to fight, so they withdrew all mention. 2) It's possible there is legal (civil/criminal) action being taken against TyTy and Dave's Garden has been asked by the prosecutor to remove all comments/mentions prior to testifying for the prosecution. At any rate, I wouldn't buy from TyTy, when I can get nearly anything they carry by special order from California wholesale nurseries like Monrovia, Monterey Bay and San Marcos. |

I'm sorry, but I've ordered a few things from Ty Ty over the last three years and have been satisfied. They have been as good or better than some others I have dealt with in mail order. I would be leary of hearsay comments like those of rhizo_1. |
jmwineberg, hearsay from one dissatisfied customer is something to be wary of. As a customer, I require at least a 3:1 ratio of compliments vs complaints, if it weren't for the fact that satisfied customers are less likely to comment on their service, that ratio would be even higher. Tyty has a greater than 3:1 ratio of complaints to compliments. Ask about them of the fig forum sometime. Ryan |
Ryan, I think that's a pretty handy rule of thumb. I also like to look at what the complaints actually say. If the complaints are due to unrealistic expectations or horticultural incompetence, then I mentally discard those. I've noticed the very best companies always have a FEW incoherent (and in my opinion, unjustified) complaints. I'm slightly (although not extremely--just enough to place a test order with plans to order more next year should my order be satisfactory) skeptical of companies with a 100% positive rating. Lisa |
I found this statement by Garden Watchdog: "The company you are searching for is no longer listed in the Garden Watchdog. For questions about their removal from the Garden Watchdog, you should contact this vendor directly. We also recommend contacting the Better Business Bureau to ascertain any company's track record with their customers." Also, Aaron's Bulb's, which I believe is affiliated with Ty Ty, is gone from GWD. I think the above statement is telling, even though not specific. |
I read about this nursery on all the forums...and I remember how GWD actually caught people from the nursery posting "positive" comments on their website. Anyone notice how "jmwineberg" joined the forum on the exact day that he posted this comment...makes me laugh. |

Garden WatchDog's opinion was changed after a discussion with TyTy's new public-relations director, a very nice man named Luca Brazzi. |
LOL!! Jello!!! He make them an offer they couldn't refuse??? Linda C |
I'm glad i found this just before placing a 1,000.00 order! I'm disappointed, the selection looked excellent, grapes, blueberries, bananas, etc. I went to bbb.org and found that they have 41 complaints in 3 years. that sounds huge but i could see it if they do the volume of business they seem to. anyway, they had resolved 36 to the bbb's satisfaction. maybe i'll go doen there and buy my stuff in person. if i do, i'll post photos here to let ya'll know . happy springtime! |
Incidentally, how could anyone order from them after viewing their website? I always hear dueling banjos. Ryan |

My experience with Ty Ty was a disaster. They are dishonest. Several years ago I ordered a TN Mtn Fig, guaranteed to fruit the first year. I got a tiny stick that actually grew some for the first time last season. The previous three or four years it just sat there. I have yet to see fruit from this "guaranteed to fruit first year" tree. E-mails and phone calls were ignored. Becky |

They were threating to sue gardenwatchdog if they didnt pull all the quotes and their rate of how bad they were to do business with, a chicken sh*t way to do business if you ask me, but hope everyone knows now. A friend of mine ordered something from them and ask for a specific color never could get them to replace it with the correct order. Jill |
If you post what you were looking to buy, maybe people on the forum could give suggestions about where to go. For edibles, like the Jujube you mentioned my personal favorite is Burnt Ridge Nursery. ~Chills |

On May 23, I finally received a full refund from Ty Ty (aka "Arrons" aka "The Nursery at Ty Ty") with numerous other DBA's. For those of you unfortunate enough to do business with these people........here's what I did. After 8 or 9 attempts to work with them on my own, I contacted the Georgia Better Business Bureau. This was a complete waste of time. The Nursery owner, Patrick Malcolm, told the BBB that he sent me a refund and the BBB closed out my case. Only problem was........he never sent the check. I next contacted the Georgia Dpt of Consumer Affairs. Nelson Mitchell handled my case and, within four weeks, I received my refund. Funny thing though. The check was dated April 28, 2008, but the envelope it was contained in was postmarked 19 May, 2008. I would highly recommend that anyone having difficulty with this "nursery" (and I use the term loosely) contact the Georgia Office of Consumer Affairs like I did. I have included their address and phone number below: Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs Phone: 404-651-8600 |
So glad to hear your persistence finally paid off...and for posting your experience and how you handled it. I imagine it will benefit others at times in the future. I see you also posted to One of the Ty Ty review threads at the Rate and Review Vendors Forum here. Thanks for sharing your info. Sue |
I wish I would have come across this forum last August BEFORE I placed an order with Ty-ty. I ordered a bunch of stuff... all said "fall shipment"...fall came and went and no trees... I had called several times where I was given the run around and finally told that they only ship when trees were dormant and I would get my order in Jan-Feb. Although I felt like this was false advertisement since everything said fall shipment, it did make sense to me, so I patiently awaited my order in January. Already not feeling quite right, I stayed on top of it and they heard from me at least once a week from the beginning of January. Persistence pays off... to a point. I was able to diseminate from the different calls, they really are just a middle man (false advertising again). They got different parts of my order from different sources... which wouldn't be so bad if they used really reliable sources, but I think they probably just use the cheapest to make the most money. I finally did receive my order... in full... not a single thing missing out of an over $650 order. In that order I had three larger blueberry bushes. Who ever their supplier is for those is pretty decent. They look pretty good and had a good bareroot base on them. As for pretty much everything else in my order, it appeard that someone had taken a good yank on the tree trunk and pulled it up by hand without any digging as most trees had very little to no roots left... the pecan trees I ordered must have been harder to yank out of the ground due to their tap root, so it appears that some Sherlock decided to take a shovel and chop the offending tap root off so they could finish yanking said tree out. Obviously, these trees won't survive... The blueberry bushes look to be very promising, and I'm glad that at least something I got seems to be worth while, but everything else either looks like it definately will not survive or would shock me if it did. I will not be ordering from them again... wish I knew who their supplier was for the blueberry bushes though... I'd definately order from them!! =) |

Call your County Agent, I'm sure they will have a list of recommended suppliers near you and the blueberry varieties that perform best in home gardens. |
Ty Ty is the worst nursery on earth. Do not buy from Ty Ty nursery. I've never heard of the other one. |
Nightmare, I ordered over 3 thousand dollars worth of stuff from them several years ago. Asked about citrus surviving in SW georgia and was assured that these "engineered" strains were hardy in my zone. All now dead! The almonds died and they replaced them with peaches. Most of the blueberries died. Anyway I dug up a lot of the dead stuff and drove it back to their "nursery" within the first year, hence I got my replacements. Everything else is now dying even after being babied for 3 years. olives dying, figs dead above graft, surviving blueberries thin and unhealthy. Even the pecans and walnuts died. They buy the cheapest crap they can find and mail it off. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!! |
This message saved me from making a huge mistake. I was about to spend a couple hundred dollars on Amaryllis bulbs. I'm so glad I went with my instinct and didn't do it. Thanks anyways for giving everyone a heads up. |

Marilyn Green - Spring 2013
Trinity Church, New York Movement Choir
Somewhat to my surprise, in August 2010 Trinity's Movement Choir was formed from a two-hour workshop that took wings. The group is open to anyone, of any age, experience, religious affiliation and physical condition. Some members have considerable professional dance background; some have just begun to dance. At the core of our group is a focus on movement as worship, a reclaiming of the community and tribal spiritual dance we have largely lost in our concept that dedicated professionals alone can make beautiful dance.
The Movement Choir is based on my own primary sources of inspiration: Rudolf Laban, a friend of Pilates who advocated large groups of people of all kinds moving together in a choreographed fashion and leaving room for personal expression, a concept closely related to his personal spiritual beliefs.
Besides Laban, a strong influence on Trinity's Movement Choir is the Japanese Butoh group Sankai Juku; from them we have taken a slow, dreamlike movement style that allows us to feel and present each person's authentic, individual connection with Spirit. And we have drawn the inspiration for our living masks and the mosaic theme for our makeup and costumes from the Everyman Players' Book of Job, which toured the world from the 1970s into the 90s.
But ultimately the Movement Choir is shaped by its members, their skills, spirituality and creative ideas.
We dance in the Trinity's liturgy and in live concerts on themes like "Reconciliation", our response to the events of 9/11, particularly poignant because Trinity and its chapel, St. Paul's, are both in the heart of the attack area and the rescue effort. This year, we are partnering with Sacred Dance Guild members from the four corners of North America to create and perform "The Doors," a concert piece exploring Love, Fear, Birth and Death.
This group has been a gift to me, and we welcome everyone who would like to join us for an hour, a year, or forever.

I'm doing some landscaping in our yard and have decided to raise the flower bed that is against the house to help with drainage. There are about 40 tulip and daffodil bulbs planted in there, if I dig them up right now am I ruining them? Can I put them in the fridge or a cool closet and plant them again in fall? Can I put them back in the ground when I raise the bed? |

- Posted by mulberryknob z6OK (My Page) on Sun, Jul 28, 13 at 20:30
No, you won't ruin them; they are in their summer dormancy right now. You can store them dry in a closet until it is time to put them back in the ground. No need to put them in the frig. That will make them think it is winter. You can put them back into the ground whenever you get the bed finished. The big growers send them out to be planted in the fall because that is when they begin root growth but you don't need to wait that long to replant them. |

This is my final collection for my final year at college. We were required to draft and construct a 6 garmanet collection based on a chosen theme. My theme was Sex and Shibari with a Rock and Roll edge. I chose to design 4 womens and 2 mens. Only 5 are featured in the photoshoot thanks to unreliable models… you know the score!
All embelishments/printing done by hand including screen printing on back of jacket and silver pritning on black trousers.

Me too… if only they fit! The models were all so tiny!
Jan 27, 2012, 10.15 PMby wardrobe-cat
Fantastic. Great work. I really like the one sided vests. Very now, with a bit of then. And that silver stuff is such a bugger to sew. God! I sound like suuucchh and old woman! But anyway…
Mar 6, 2012, 07.02 PMby charmander
The only tricky one was the cutout hotpant playsuit because the material didn't allow for mistakes as any holes made through pinning/sewing was permanent. The rest I used a metalic suede which was so smooth and very easy to use suprisingly!

This isn't worthy of being on the discussions side, but the long awaited mtg with the architect happened yesterday. Overall, it went well and we're meeting May 12th to see his prelim drawings. I honestly felt like he was taking everything we were saying respectfully. Even some of the ideas that he questioned, but still understood our request for them into the plans.
Since I started coming to this site many, many months ago looking for advice on the MIL addition above a new garage, you have listened to my constant gripes about the missed mtgs, etc. I'll scan pics when he brings them so you guys can finally see what I'm talking about :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Good for you! I hope that everything he does is worth the wait. It is so nice when someone actually listens to what you say, rather than forcing their own desires on your project. |
I'm anxious to see the pics, Brittta. |
Remember how I was nervous to talk with the father because his son is such a schmuck and cancelled all those appts? Well, the architect knew I'd been trying to get the specs (from the son, naturally) on our lot dimensions so the architect could draw to scale and not change things later if the room didn't allow. Well, the architect must have called the dad himself, because at 10am this morning, good ol' dad was measuring and digging up the pins that got buried when we seeded our lawn. Nice as could be... said the architect (lets call him Phil because it's 4 letters to type vs 9 for architect, ok? ;) called him last night and said we needed these. Less than a 24 hour turn around on a request???? How absolutely STUPID I've been by not dealing with the dad first. We could have had this thing built by now since we started talking about it in November last year. But you guys already knew I should skip the son in the first place, right??? :) I just have to keep telling myself things happen for a reason. There's a reason we didn't start building right away. Right? :) |
Well...duhhhhhhhhhh Britta. I remember the thread in which SEVERAL of us told you to ditch the son and go straight to the father. Soooooooooo......... now will you listen to us? We told you so. |
"we told you so" pfffffft! The bonus to this whole thing is that in my mind, the father was brought into the situation again by someone other than me, and now anything related to it, I can just mosey on over to him and not even bother with the son. Still waiting to see why all this waiting was happening for a reason, though ;) And yes, now I will listen to you guys. |
Ok.... having trouble posting pics of late! Sheesh. Anyway, this is the floorplan the architect came up with. It's basically useless to anything we wanted because the entire left side (looking at the plans) will face directly into the side of our current house. We wanted the garage on the side closest to our house, but apparently he thinks it'll make it difficult to drive into because of the angle he needs to put the addition at to maximize our use of the space available. (You can see where the breezeway attaches to our garage service door... that is the angle off our house she'd be at.) I added a pic of where it will be on our lot... sorry, bad quality, but hopefully it gives you an idea of why it's angled and that it's the only spot it'll fit since we're required to have the breezeway. We like the front elevation and how it blends with our house already, except that our current house has a hip-joint (??) roof, so we'd like this house to do that as well. This looks too boxy, and I like the corners at the top cut off better anyway. Let the critiqing (sp?) begin!!! Please... hold nothing back :) I can take it. Like I said, our rendition is just a spur of the moment fix, and hasn't been well thought out at all, we just know the one he drew up won't work for us. I have lots more explainations, but I have to get outside and help shovel river rock. Fun :) |
Ooooh! Plans! I'm assuming you've checked zoning and this is permitted? You are right, the roof line looks too steep. We might have a better stab at this if we could see your existing house plans. The photo is too blurry for me. Do you have a detached garage (in front)? I was thinking it would be neat to have her garage adjoin the existing one -- blend in -- two separate structures instead of three. Gee, I hope my DS and DIL would consider doing this for their old mom one day! |
- Posted by allison0704 (My Page) on Sat, May 14, 05 at 18:55
I like your plan better than the architects. Why don't some of them listen when the client speaks? Who know better what they want?! I agree the roofline is too steep. It needs to be the same type/style roofline as yours. |
Is your MIL going to bring her laundry over to your house? |
Hi everyone... This is the best I could do to show how it sits on the lot. We have since come up with a couple other floorplans that might work, one of which keeps the second bedroom. I'll put those on here when I can. Sorry for all the pictures on here for those who's computer load slow!! I don't have a website set up for this type of stuff... maybe soon. Houseful, yes, she'll bring her laundry to our house. As it is, she doesn't have a ton of laundry so she'd rather dedicate space towards living/storage than the machines, even if she were to get stackable. Who knows, maybe she'll throw some of my laundry in as well ;) hehehe KIDDING! And this doesn't matter, but just so ppl know, this is my mom who's moving in (Guess it's the DH's MIL addition then, eh?). Perfect case for doing this... she's been gone almost a month with all her traveling. Her house is just sitting there empty. And she's due to go away again in mid-June, and this is her slow travel season ;) Obviously this isn't to scale, and I did the best I could with my publisher program to get it close, but you get the idea :) |
In Hawaii this is called an ohana -- ohana is "family". Lots of people there have ohanas on their property. I'd still like to see something more integrated with the front of your garage and house rather than angled like this. If you flipped the addition plan and set her front entry garage even with your garage wall... I know you have to leave room for her view and yours... Still thinking. |
ChiSue, That's what we wanted originally. We wanted her to be able to drive right up our driveway straight into her garage. When we made the "pit" to our walk-out basement, we kind of messed up how much space we'd be allowed to have along the house to make this happen. We also have a bedroom right there (on the main house) and we don't want to close up that window, hence the walkway btwn the two houses to our backyard. I know exactly what you're talking about, though! The architect said he was trying to avoid a "bowling alley" walkway under that breezeway. That being said, I'm thinking more and more about asking him to draw something up with the garage we originally had asked him to do it. We have approx 28 feet from the edge of our driveway to the first block of the retaining wall at the pit, so what I need to find out is how close is "safe" to put the frost wall/foundation to that retaining wall without compromising it. This is hard! I know what I want, and even gave the guy a sketch of it, and it's just not fitting into that space. I'm regretting we made the walk-out pit as big as we did now ;) |
Just throwing this out there, but how many times should we let the architect work on this (while paying him by the hour) to have him possibly come back again and again with stuff not close to what we want? I can't just throw money away on the hourly salary thing "hoping" he can draw what we've pointed out is important to us. |
Britta, I sketched this out quickly. I am not even sure of all the dimensions. However, I wast thinking if you kept the house square with yours and don't angle her front door. She can come to your house via a back door to the kitchen, yet her main will here will give her more privacy for guests. I don't know if this garage situation will work, but you can see that the only window actually facing your house will be one DR window. You can put some small windows up high on that side in the LR for light, but she can have a large window in front. I know how you feel about having the architect do this over and over. Do your self a favor and spend $80 on a program like I have. You will save lots of money. I am talking from experience! |
Houseful, Thanks for the thoughts on the addition. I'd love that set-up, but not sure how it'd work off of our driveway to have her garage stick out quiet that far, but it's good to see something with a fresh pair of eyes. Putting the storage and bath in line with the garage gave me some new ideas and we're going to play around with them some more. I don't think I would have thought of that one :) I'm seriously considering one of the house design programs... but do those just give you options of working on plans? Or can they be turned into the real deal to submit for permits and stuff? You know, workable blueprints? |
Can you flip-flop Houseful's plan (or something similar) so that the two garages are joined? (Sorry if that's already been discussed and I overlooked it...) |
I'm on the same page with okwriter. Houseful, show us your stuff! |
Britta, Supposedly you can get workable blueprints from some of these programs, but you can always just use a draftsman and save money that way. How about something like this with a side load garage. She can access this from your driveway, I think. |

You're not likely to see people partying till the wee hours of the morning in this part of Langkawi Island. In point of fact you're more likely to see village kids illegally joyriding on motorbikes along the deserted roads and lit-up kampong houses with the owners inside watching the telly.
Situated along a fairly undeveloped beachside, Padang Matsirat is quiet once the sun goes down. You can find one or two hotel bars that'll be open but they're not likely to be the most hopping nightspots. If you're looking for hot nightclubs in Langkawi then take a short drive down to Pantai Cenang or Pantai Tengah, both of which boast better nightlife.
This bar is in no way a particularly crowded one but still a good place to unwind with your choice cocktail and savour the sun setting in the horizon as you sit on a deck chair by the beach. You may see other patrons enjoy a game of pool or you may have to fly solo with only the bartender keeping you company. If all else fails you can simply kick back and watch the telly.
Opening Hours: 12:00 – 01:00
Address: Langkawi Lagoon Resort, Lot 78, Jalan Kuala Muda, Padang Matsirat
Tel: +604 955 8181
Padang Matsirat may not play host to good dining venues, cultural-style boutiques and a plethora of spas, but it does have a night market on
Sunday nights opposite the Field Of Burnt Rice. The street is transformed into a lively bazaar of hawker food stalls, tourist-friendly trinket booths and farmers selling their produce.
Opening Hours: 17:30 – 22:00 (Sundays)
Location: Opposite the Field of Burnt Rice

I have a 4 x 70 foot bed planted in winter rye for tomatoes. Last year I cut then rototilled the bed to incorporate the biomass. If I were to use the no till method how do I address the winter rye or any green manure/cover crop? I also have a few 4 x 8 foot raised beds with winter rye buckwheat in the summer between (spring and fall planting)Cut and used a shovel to turn over the root mass. I'd like to get rid of my tiller so how do I address the green manure. |

Jimla: You are a smart man, getting rid of that tiller and adapting no till.. You will soon see amazing results.. I been planting winter rye and a cover crops for years with the no till method.. Works great.. I have a very similar setup as yours.. 5x70 bed and another 3x70 bed.. I sow winter rye heavily after my vegetable crips are done.. Then in spring it shoots up to a few feet in spring,preparing to go to seed.. When there's 14 hours or more of daylight (April-may) the rye starts forming seed heads(grain).. You have to cut the winter rye after it drops it's pollen, but before the seed matures.. You will see small white flakes on the immature seed heads, that's the pollen.. When you see that, it's ready to chop down.. If you chop it down before it drops pollen, the rye did not do it's job of producing offspring, and it will regrow until it does it's job.. Take your weedwacker or sycle and cut it down to the soil.. Then I cover the winter rye stems/root with compost and plant in that.. The biomass from the rye that I cut with a weedwacker, I use as mulch.. Or compost,etc.. Cover crops are one of the best things for the soil, it protects the soil, prevents erosion, and recycled nutrients from your soil.. You can't do to much better than planting a cover crop over winter... Let me know if you have any questions.. Best of luck, |
Thanks Joe. So do I cut when I see the white pollen flakes on the immature seed heads or when the pollen flakes drop but before the seed head matures? How much approximate time for pollen to drop and seedheads to mature? Jim |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 5 OH (My Page) on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 18:25
Jim: From my expeience whenever you see the white pollen flakes is when the pollen is dropping, they are synonymous.. If you see pollen on an immature seed head, it's ready to cut down.. You have a fairly long spam(weeks) between the pollen and the seeds maturing.. I don't think it should be any concern.. That time frame is when cutting the rye at the right carbon/nitrogen is key.. If it gas to much nitrogen it will take long to decompose, vice versa.. Dont cut it If it's too green, but don't cut it when it's to fiberous and brown, cut it in the middle of the two.. Always after the pollen drops.. You can't go wrong by cutting it down right after you see pollen.. You could leave it for a couple weeks, but watch the seed heads carefully an make sure they aren't to hard and mature.. You could experiment, cut some rye down right as the pollen drops, a week after that, and so on.. It depends what your using the biomass for... Joe |

Shumlin administration seeks level-funded budgetBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | October 11,2013MONTPELIER Top officials in the administration of Gov. Peter Shumlin have directed the heads of agencies across state government to deliver level-funded spending plans for next year.
In a recent memorandum to executive branch managers, the administration asks for fiscal year 2015 budget proposals that dont exceed allocations for the current fiscal year.
Given contractual pay raises for state employees, the rising cost of health insurance and inflationary jumps in the cost of doing government business generally, Finance Commissioner James Reardon said Thursday the level-funding directive would require either cuts to programs or services, or cost-saving operational reforms.
Were going to have (increases in employee compensation) and other upward pressures in the budget, he said. But theyre going to have to come back with corresponding reductions in other areas in order to come back with a general fund appropriation that is equal to their fiscal year 2014 appropriation.
Reardon said the exercise is the first step in a long budget process and that the guidance issued to agency heads wont necessarily result in the cuts that a level-funded budget would inflict.
This is a starting point for having budget discussions with agencies and departments, he said. And this may not reflect our ending point.
But with Shumlin having made clear his refusal to raise the income, sales or other broad-based taxes next year, Reardon said, fiscal discipline will need to be rigorous.
The governor has been very clear that hes not going to raise broad-based taxes, so thats one of the parameters we have to work with in developing the governors recommended budget that well present to the Legislature in January, Reardon said.
He said the administration is leaving it largely up to agency heads to decide where, and how severely, to reduce line items. But the budget guidance issued to managers Sept. 24 says that preference should be given to the elimination of entire program(s) and/or service(s) rather than across-the-board reductions that jeopardize the stability and sustainability of multiple programs and/or services.
Reardon said, The advantage of that is if you start cutting different programs and services to the point where they arent running effectively, then arent we better off just eliminating something altogether rather than having a number of things not being run appropriately?
The administration has asked managers to list their funding proposals in order of priority, and Reardons office will meet with them individually in the coming weeks to fine-tune proposals. Budget proposals are due back to the Department of Finance and Management beginning today.
While the budget guidance deals only with general fund expenditures, Reardon said department heads need to consider the prospect of reductions in federal revenue as they go about their budget planning.
According to the budget memo, state budget writers should not assume that federal reductions will be covered with increased general funds.
The memo says, Rather, you should assume that these programs will not be replaced unless you can demonstrate they meet a critical state policy goal.

Conference Tournament Daily Diaries: Friday
Posted by Brian Goodman on March 12th, 2011RTC is pleased to announce that we'll be covering all of the major conference tournaments this year — the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, and SEC — in addition to the strongest two high-middies, the Atlantic 10 and the Mountain West. Each day for the rest of this week, we're asking our correspondents to provide us with a Daily Diary of the sights and sounds from the arena at each site. Equal parts game analysis and opinion, the hope is that this will go beyond the tiresome game recaps you can find elsewhere and give you an insightful look into Championship Week. Yesterday's coverage: ACC, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Mountain West, Pac-10 & SEC.
ACC Tournament - by Kellen Carpenter
- While it looks like John Henson has found his stroke from the free throw line, the rest of the ACC could take lessons. Jordan Williams spoiled a 16 point and 16 rebound effort against Duke by going 2 for 10 from the free line in the loss. Virginia Tech shot 57.1% against a Florida State team that shot 20% from the line.
- Yeah, speaking of which, that was a game with bad shooting. A clearly exhausted Malcolm Delaney-led Virginia Tech team only made five field goals in the first half. The Hokies shot 17.9% from the field in the first half. Erick Green had shot 1 of 12 for the Hokies before he nailed what turned out to be the game winner. Miami making up 10 points in 40 seconds was impressive. North Carolina's buzzer beater was impressive. But an undermanned, overworked, and gritty as hell Virginia Tech team owns the most impressive win of the ACC Tournament so far.
- After Florida State's Derwin Kitchen buzzer beater was overturned after the Seminoles had already started celebrating, the tables turned quickly. At least one Hokie fans, embittered after years of bad luck, dashed expectations and hard work turned sour, yelled at the Seminole fans, "SUCKS DON'T IT?" That was a little cruel, but it's nice to see this tough and unlucky Virginia Tech team catch a break.
- Twice today, the crowd played favorites in dramatic fashion. The Coliseum was roaring during the impressive North Carolina comeback with the cheers of Miami fans completely and utterly muted. Then in the evening, a Duke crowd tried to drown out the angry jeers of the sizable and furious Maryland crowd.
- The reason that the Maryland crowd was so angry was because Kyle Singler hates Maryland. Kyle Singler hung 25 points on Maryland in January, 22 in February, and 29 in March. It was enough to break Singler's late-season slump and enough to carry his team when all was not right with Nolan Smith. Even before disaster struck, it wasn't Nolan Smith's night. He went 2 for 11 and had five turnovers. Then the worst kind of deja vu struck Duke fans and their point guard hurt his toe. Though Smith looked okay when he walked out of the locker room where he went for treatment, he was limping after the game, and Coach K declined to say anything about the prognosis until Saturday morning.
- How often do you see the walk-ons play a pivotal role in a conference tournament game? About eight turnover-filled minutes into the game against Miami, a furious Roy Williams benched his team in favor of Blue Steel, this year's fan-beloved (and frequently goofy) team of walk-ons. Blue Steel didn't score and they didn't lock down Miami, but they played hard and bought Roy time to settle his team. It was fitting that Wes Miller, a patron saint to UNC walk-ons who cracked the rotation and didn't miss a shot during the 2006 ACC tournament, was in attendance.
- Is it the shoes? Kendall Marshall is an avowed sneakerhead and he cameout wearing classic Air Jordan II's in University blue, a pretty sharp look that he had tried a couple of times earlier in the season. When Roy benched the starters, Kendall ended up switching to the more basic Team Jordan home shoe. I'm not going to say that was a turning point in the game, but it certainly didn't hurt the Tar Heels. On the other hand, Leslie McDonald continued to wear his Jordan II's the whole game and experienced a similar turnaround. On a related note, the Florida State dance team changed their tops at half time. Clearly, that was a huge mistake.
- One more thing about Reggie Johnson. He is big. No, seriously, you may know that he's 6'10 and over 300 pounds, but somehow he plays even bigger than that. UNC has one of the biggest, if not bulkiest, front courts in the nation and Johnson just bullied them around all game on offense and defense. You know who else is big? Seemingly everyone on the Florida State team. They just have waves and waves of big men who all play tough defense. While Reggie Johnson won't be able to bully hapless mid-majors in the NCAA, an angry Florida State team that's soon to reintroduce Chris Singleton to the line-up is a tough draw for any team in the tournament. Speaking of Chris Singleton, though he seemed fine and participated in warm-ups, he didn't play. After the game, Leonard Hamilton admitted that Chris probably could have played, but that he wanted to make sure that they made the right decision for Chris, which seems pretty hard to argue with.
- Meanwhile, where Reggie Johnson and Florida State are big, the Clemson backcourt is so small. In the seemingly effortless domination of Boston College, Clemson played three players who are tiny by ACC basketball standards. 5'9 starter Andre Young often played with similarly sized Zavier Anderson, with 5'10 Cory Stanton playing spot minutes. They played well and their size never seemed an obstacle against a relatively small BC team, but you wonder how they will fare against Carolina's long arms.
- Of course, when you are playing with the swag of this Clemson team, there is little cause for concern. Demontez Stitt, in particular, was playing with a decidedly nasty streak. He had at least one vicious stare down after a put-back dunk as well as a very pointed step over a BC player who had fallen down trying to stop another drive. The decidedly pro-Tigers crowd was into the game, with one presumably student corner (of the otherwise sparsely populated upper bowl) standing through the entire game. By contrast, there wasn't a single Boston College fan in sight.
- I saw a few fans wearing other team's colors clap politely for theEagles, but no yelling students and not even a BC t-shirt to be seen. I understand that Boston is a long way away, but I honestly believe it hurt BC's chances. The Eagles weren't down further than UNC was against Miami, but while the Tar Heel players seemed to feed off the excitement and energy of the crowd, Boston College just didn't have that option. The crowd's indifference mirrored the team's indifference and many of the athletes played with their heads down and a general air of apathy. It's a shame because a win would have gone along way towards keeping NCAA tournament hopes alive.
