You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"They grey goes well with our colors (pink and grey). Love the hard paper used. This save the date is so simple and easy on the eyes. I enjoyed creating it and actually seeing it in my hands. It was so easy."
"I changed the color and pictures of the postcard save the date. It came out exactly how I wanted. They even fixed the website that I included on the back."
"I really like the save the date and have received many complements from guest about them. i would like to see a spot to be able to put the words "flip over" or even an arrow or maybe a space to put "see details on back", a lot of my guests were saying they didn't realize all the information to book hotel rooms were on the back like i figured they would. overall quality was very nice, the pictures turned out great! i also think its a great option that someone checks it all over and make sure the picture quality layout and and that there are no misspellings before you actually send them out to people and then not like them. your company is great to work with and i received my product in just a few days.! Thank you for a great save the date, i look forward to ordering more items from you in the future. I have already referred other friends to you site and they too have ordered and loved them. sincerely, Amanda Carpenter"
"My husband and I wanted to send out thank you postcards for our wedding thank you's. All I wanted was a picture of us on the front of the postcard (it was a picture from our wedding day of both of us holding a banner that said "Thank You." This Uniquely Yours option allowed me to do just that! They turned our exactly how I wanted them to, and sending out postcards as thank you's really saves on postage costs. I would definitely recommend this product and this website as a whole (I've ordered three different products from this website for our wedding and could not be happier with them)!"
"I am extremely pleased with how these save-the-dates turned out! The paper is thick and good quality. The picture quality is also good, and everything shipped quickly."

I have 2 Western Redbud that are just beautiful- I love the leaves and the branch formation. However, I have a problem with one of my trees. I am not an expert like many of you so please accept what may seem like a totally silly question. It seems like the branches have leaves only at the ends of the branch. And they are not totally young branches (3 years old). So I don't understand how this is possible. Is the branch dead? Why would there be only leaves at the ends and not in the middle? Suggestions and insight are welcome!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
First, how much water are your trees getting? More water might help. These are river-bed or river-side trees in nature that can get flooded in spring for a period of time; despite a reputation for drought-tolerance, they will use the water they can get. The Cercis do have a natural tendency to have empty branches nearer the trunk, but should have more foliage than just on the tips. Second, how big were they when you planted them, and what did the root system look like. I just removed my six Cercis and did plant-autopsies, so to speak. Believe me, taking out six trees myself gave me plenty of time to inspect and think about why they were unsatisfactory. Five of mine had what you described, leaves only at the end of bare branches. They had root systems that were wound around and around, circled roots in other words. The landscapers who installed them used old stock, that was pot-bound, and the trees were never able to develop healthy root systems that spread outwards. These were from 24" boxes. Very expensive mistake! I had one Cercis that was fully foliaged and much better looking, healthier, and larger than the other trees, and on digging it up, I found a root system that spread outwards and had no circled roots. This tree was the only one that was from a five-gallon pot. It was a replacement for a 24" box that died, and it caught up and surpassed the others within about 18 months. BIG lesson learned for me: personally inspect the root system of any tree I buy and reject old stock with circled root systems. I replaced the Cercis with 'Dynamite' Lagerstroemias from 5 gallon pots that were super fresh with root systems just creating a firm root ball in their containers but not to the point of creating a surface of roots on the inside of the pots. They are thriving and bursting with vigor and beauty (and yes, foliage) and have tripled in size (no fertilizer given). I'm so happy I got rid of the Cercis! |
Hi Hoovb- Thanks so much for responding! I unfortunately also purchased 24" boxes. At the time I did not inspect the root system (my landscape artist/master gardner) was there to help with the installation. I was thinking I was overwatering- doing my innocent research- read it could be root rot (too much water?) But I don't think we overwatered. Thanks for your insight! |
Because I have had exactly the experience that hoovb described too many times, I now routinely root-prune trees and shrubs before I plant them unless it's a plant that I know has a fragile root system. I also don't purchase dicots in larger than 5 gallon containers (it's not uncommon to find a plant that was badly root-bound when it was potted on to a five gallon and then allowed to become root-bound again before potting on to a fifteen gallon). Root pruning significantly increases transplant shock, but once the plant grows out of it, it's much happier than otherwise. So far, I haven't had any losses. Ryan |

This all-in-one bowling alley resto-bar in Toronto's Entertainment District was practically designed for date nights.

3. Dinner and a Comedy Show
Jokes don't always go over well on dates, so you may want to leave it up to the professionals. Toronto's famous Second City comedy club has spawned some of the world's funniest comedians, and the dinner and show packages are a huge hit for couples and comedy lovers alike (includes dinner, cocktails and appetizers at Wayne Gretzky's restaurant next door).

Check out more of the Best Karaoke Bars in Toronto.

13. Retro-style drinks at The Ace
It's rare to find a bar that manages to be nostalgic without veering into kitsch territory, and The Ace manages to walk that fine line. It has become a popular spot for low-key couples. Enjoy a drink from their old soda machine that now pumps draught beer and The Ace's signature Manhattan while people-watching the Roncesvalles locals.

Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles

This post is by Tommy Walker. No matter where you go online, it seems like there are nasty little habits every single blogger in the world can't seem to shake. You may not realize you're doing it or you might teach these bad habits as "the way", but no matter what, if your content is going to be totally original, these bad habits should be broken immediately.
11 minute read

Dan Shure @dan_shureTotally liked tips like #2 Stop using Cliched Phrases or #3 Stop Writing "Link Bait" - they were specific and dealt with aspects of the craft of writing its self and bad writing habits.
On the contrary, tips like #4 Stop Thinking You're The Smartest Person In The World - these were more process, or mind-set "tips" and it's hard to really say any one way of doing things or way of thinking is better than another, or will make your a more successful blogger or more skilled writer. Sometimes going against the grain with thinking or process makes you the better writer.
I can see tips on how to have an original voice, or be more creative are helpful - but not so much tips on how to think, or your writing process its self. Those things seem so much more personal than that.

Hi I went ahead and winter sowed my clematis seedlings, and I checked on them about 4 days ago. When I checked they had started to come up. So I brought them inside. I have never grown clematis before and I have read so many things on how to take care of them. Put them on a warmer put them in direct sunlight, don't put them in direct sunlight. Don't put them by the window because of the draft etc. Can someone please help me by giving me some advice based on experience because I really would like them to make it. So far they are good but I keep moving them because I'm afraid I'm doing it all wrong. |

Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan said the franc remains strong even after recent weakness and pressure on it to appreciate may return, Schweiz am Sonntag reported, citing an interview.
"We have seen some easing in the financial markets -- the pressure on the franc has weakened," Jordan told the paper. "But at the current level it is still highly valued," he said. "We can't exclude that in these uncertain times we experience setbacks."
The Swiss currency is seen as a haven against the euro at times of heightened global stress, according to a study published by the SNB in April. That pushed the franc near parity with the euro in 2011 and caused the central bank to set a ceiling of 1.20 against euro in September of that year to ward off deflation and a recession.
Comments by Jordan last month that a shift in the cap and negative interest rates were among possible steps the SNB could take prompted the franc to weaken past 1.26 per euro for the first time in two years on May 22.
"As a matter of principal we don't exclude any measures that will help us ensure appropriate monetary conditions," Jordan told Schweiz am Sonntag. The SNB's policy on the franc ceiling "isn't one of fine-tuning," he said.
The franc closed at 1.2414 per euro on May 31. The currency has declined 2.7 percent against the euro this year. Against the dollar it closed at 95.51 centimes.
Property Bubble
The cap has given Swiss companies "a certain amount of security in planning," according to Jordan. "Still, it's a big challenge for them to deal with the exchange rate."
Switzerland's real estate market is experiencing its biggest gains in two decades, with the the SNB holding its benchmark interest rate at zero since August 2011.
While the property market is demonstrating "very dynamic development," there's a risk that "we are in fact headed toward a bubble," Jordan said. "At the same time, we have a very low rate LEVEL which one can assume will remain that low for a long time."
The SNB has repeatedly urged banks to be cautious when allotting mortgages. The government has also ordered lenders to hold an extra 1 percent of risk-weighted assets linked to domestic residential mortgages. They have until the end of September to comply.
While real estate price growth had so far slowed "insufficiently," it's too early to evaluate the impact of the buffer, Jordan said in the interview.
Gold Holdings
"There is a considerable proportion of newly issued mortgages" that have been granted to people who'll be challenged to repay them in the longer term, he said.
The central bank president also said the SNB has no plans to buy or sell gold. It may purchase the precious metal in the future should this become necessary, according to Jordan.
Regarding potentially saving Swiss lenders that may face bankruptcy over fines paid to settle a dispute over untaxed assets of U.S. citizens, Jordan said this wasn't in the SNB's remit.
"It's not the central bank's responsibility to save banks if they are insolvent," Jordan told the paper. "It has the duty of contributing to the system's stability."

Experimenting with motion sensitive gameplay is fine "as long as we can firewall off and protect what we know works", reckons Irrational Games creative director Ken Levine. More familiar mechanics like those offered by upcoming shooter Bioshock Infinite need to be "protected" from any dabbling with gestural control.
"Any experience that sits in the realm of motion play needs to be kept separate from the main experience," Levine told OXM in an E3 interview. "It needs to be firewalled off so that if this experiment isn't for you, or doesn't turn out to be all that great, you just ignore it.
"Any new experience we add, we need to be able to protect this experience," he went on, referencing BioWare's recent efforts. "I like the stuff they're doing with Mass Effect 3, in terms of making some of the interface aspects a little less thorny - more the squad commands than the conversation, as that's a bit of a challenge on the controller."
BioWare co-founder Dr Ray Muzyka has said that Mass Effect 3 needs to be "awesome" regardless of control method.
"What you don't want to do is add something in and enforce it on anybody," Levine explained. "Do an experiment, fine! We're in the experimental stage, and people shouldn't be afraid of experimenting as long as we can firewall off and protect what we know works. If we don't experiment, we don't progress."
He was unwilling to comment on whether Bioshock Infinite might call on Microsoft's Kinect (the game already supports the PlayStation Move controller), but made it clear he wasn't leading the charge for motion sensitive integration. "I'm a hardcore gamer - I do most of my gaming on mouse and keyboard. I'm always open to new things, but I'm a really conservative guy at heart. I'll try it out slowly, but I'll be doing so very conservatively."
Levine is a believer in the importance of resisting "tick box" design, arguing in April that multiplayer is a marketing priority many games can do without.
Look out for more on Bioshock Infinite in issue 75, on sale 7th July. In the meantime, here's our 15 things you didn't know feature.

Um, ain't you fast on a sled? Nobody's gonna see the graphics anyway! Hell, they might not even figure out what color flashed past them!
Personally, I'd love to see an entire sled that had everything that wasn't aluminum painted matte white - but that would probably be bad for getting hit by people that didn't see ya...

Please excuse us for gushing, but how cute is this penguin? He's one of six black-footed penguins who have come to live at Mote Marine Laboratory's Penguin Island. Starting Nov. 1, guests will be able to view the penguins during Mote's daily visiting hours–and by showcasing these adorable birds, which are native to South Africa, Mote also hopes to raise awareness about the importance of working globally for marine life conservation.
Will you be stopping by to visit them?

ASCAP sues AT&T over ringtone "performances"
When a cell phone starts blasting "In Your Face" by Lil' Wayne, bystanders might consider it annoying, but the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers is taking it one step further and calling it a violation of copyright law. According to a filing obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the performance rights organization has filed suit against AT&T (NYSE:T), claiming that every time a musical ringtone goes off in public, the song constitutes a performance and, therefore, violates copyright law.
ASCAP's quest against the Girl Scouts might not have stopped them from singing around the campfire, but it thinks it has a better shot against wireless carriers. The group filed a civil action suit in the US District Court in southern New York after it has been licensing content to carriers and content providers since 2001. Both carriers and mobile content providers already pay a licensing fee to songwriters and publishers for each ringtone a consumer downloads, but ASCAP is alleging that additional royalties are owed when these same ringtones publically perform – i.e. ring in public.
Essentially, every time a call is made, ASCAP says that AT&T creates a joint liability with its customers - even though they both already paid for that song, AT&T can't control when the call is made and the customer chooses between a silent or ringtone mode.
The music industry has struggled to gain a strong foothold on mobile, in part because of issues like licensing fees and the lack of a reliable business model. Within music though, ringtones have historically been one of the best – if not only – revenue-generating outlets. Ringtone sales did take a hit in 2008, but Juniper Research predicts they will reach nearly $14.6 billion by 2013 – profits of which the EFF says ASCAP doesn't stand a chance of getting.
The EFF likened the issue to listening to the car radio with the windows down. Even if it was a public performance, the Copyright Act has a specific exception that covers performances made "without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage." That should take care of ringtones going off in the restaurant, the EFF said.

Philip Levine and the Problem of Rust Belt Literature
by Wells Addington
Has there been another poet so identified with the place he doesn't live than Philip Levine? Joyce and Dublin seem the obvious prose precedent, but as far as verse goes, Levine is as inseparable from Detroit as Frank O'Hara is from New York City. Except physically. Physically the man and the city called it quits decades ago: Levine fled the Rust Belt for Fresno, albeit with a stop off in Iowa City to pick up an MFA. But while Levine, like many Rust Belt artist-types before and after him, might have left, he's never been able—or perhaps willing—to shake off Detroit.
When named Poet Laureate last year, The New York Times noted Levine is "best known for his big-hearted, Whitmanesque poems about working-class Detroit," and that's true enough. Levine is a uniquely Rust Belt writer. Archetypal even. His poems are straightforward, accessible. I don't find them particularly "big-hearted" or "Whitmanesque" but I would expect The New York Times to label them that. Whitman is a precursor for sure, but I find Levine's poetry more reminiscent of the American folk music tradition: Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger most obviously, but also the early-60s folk revival in which a bunch of highly educated kids played songs about working life. And that's my problem with Philip Levine.
Actually, not so much with Levine. He's a damn good poet, masterful in his use of language. Take the opening lines of "Belle Isle, 1949":
We stripped in the first warm spring night
And ran down into the Detroit River
To baptize ourselves in brine
Of car parts, dead fish, stolen bicycles,
Melted snow.
Everything you want out of poetic writing is here: striking details, a careful use of alliteration and consonance, near rhymes you barely notice. It sets a slightly harrowed tone and the poem, about nearly drowning while skinny-dipping with a "Polish highschool girl / I'd never seen before," and sustains a tension that is at once unnerving and oddly sweet. One could, I suspect, have few complaints about this poem as a poem. But one could, or at least I can, have complaints about what this poem, what all of Levine's Detroit poems for that matter, mean to Rust Belt literature.
In assessing popular conceptions of Levine—and by "assessing popular conceptions of Levine" I pretty much mean browsing his reviews on Amazon.com—Levine is perceived as an "honest" writer. Whenever I hear "honest" and writer together, I shudder. Writing creatively means constructing lies for the greater good. There is nothing more frustrating when teaching Creative Writing than to have read a boring piece by a student and to have recommended to the student changes that would make it less boring and to have that student reply, "But that's the way it happened!" The writer's commitment is not to reality, but to the piece of writing. A poem about a father buying a mother cookies because he loves her is never going to be as good a poem about a father buying cookies because he is trying to give the mother diabetes so that she'll die and he can remarry and to do all this while acting as if he loves her (truth be told, neither of those sound like particularly good poems, but my point remains).
And I find Levine's poems inherently dishonest. Yes, he grew up in Detroit. Yes, he worked in a factory after college. Those things are important—they provide Levine with setting and subject that he extracts and refines to hammer some stunning poetry out of. But Levine attended the premiere MFA program in the country. He spent the majority of his adult life in the academy, which is arguably a factory of sorts but, as someone who has worked third shift in a factory (briefly) and taught at the university, I can assure you that their only real similarities is that in both places you get to bullshit with co-workers over cigarettes. The university can be a cozy place to work (especially when Levine started in the 1950s), but I've yet to read a poem about teaching literature and there's likely a good reason for that: teaching is perhaps the one subject that is outside of the poetic imagination.
So Levine's poems are inherently dishonest: he is not actually a factory worker who tosses off verse on the weekend. And why would he want to be? Being working class sucks. You do the same thing day in, day out. You get paid a penance of what the suited fellows in the corporate headquarters make. Physical monotony may appeal to some, but chances are if you are reading this, you're not one of them. Or you might claim that you are, that there's a certain dignity to sewing soles onto shoes, to picking grapes during the season, to bending metal in a die. Great. Go work those jobs. You probably don't want to, especially not for the wages you'd get. But are you satisfied with your job now? You went to college so you didn't have to work a blue collar job (all six that we have left), got the degree, got the fancy career, and now, if pop psychology is to be believed, you suffer from malaise, feel inconsequential in the world, want there to be something more to life than cubicles and big screen televisions. And it is in that dissatisfaction that I suspect much of Levine's appeal lies.
I'm really not trying to be an ass here or accuse you of things that aren't true. I'm being incredibly reductive, but it's with the aim of getting to this point: Levine's poems aren't honest, but they are nostalgic. The individual poems are not necessarily nostalgic, although they often are in that they recall moments from the speaker's past, but taken en masse, they create a world that never quite existed and that world seems to us somehow more pure, more "honest" than the world in which we live. Remember that Levine isn't living the life he describes in the poems—he's a college professor. But his readers aren't living the lives he describes either: last I checked, factory workers and agricultural laborers and fast food employees aren't exactly gobbling down poetry books. Poetry readers are the educated (upper) classes, the ones institutionally conditioned to value poetry and more than likely not the ones employed on the second shift at Ford.
What Levine's poems give upper class readers is a means to feel that they are on the level with the lower classes. What the poems effectively do is similar to the recent Occupy Wall Street Movement with it's 99% slogan: it obscures what are extremely complicated class divides that stratify America more than anyone talks about in polite company. Levine's poems give readers solidarity to a life they left behind and probably never really wanted. Perhaps their father was indeed a factory worker, but they aren't. And Levine's poems, in presenting the lower class as complicated rather than simple, further helps this solidarity: the woman taking my order Taco Bell—she has a rich interior life just like me!
These are, I suspect, good things overall. They are probably why The New York Times gets to call Levine "big-hearted." But what this intellectual solidarity fails to do—what the Occupy Movement failed to do—is change anything. Big-hearted, white-collared liberals can perceive solidarity with Levine's union workers, but it's a facade that keeps the power structures in place. If it didn't, then the TV pundits would have a) acknowledged that Levine was named Poet Laureate and b) raised hell about this. Given the oratorical masturbation preceding Common's trip to the White House, if a true proletarian literature, a la Mike Gold, reemerged and gained governmental support, you know FOX News would launch an all-out nuclear culture war.
Again though, I like Levine. I like his poetry. I like all the things about Levine's poetry that you probably like. Go read some Levine here if you haven't before. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/philip-levine What I don't like is that his poetry and worldview has become the dominant form of Rust Belt literature. He's paved a great road (no potholes!), but I think it leads to a dead-end. Rust Belt literature must become more than class nostalgia, than descriptions of the detritus in polluted rivers, than interrogations of the complex inner-thoughts of beer guzzling steelworkers. It needs to become something alive, something in the present. Something that bulldozes the decrepit buildings and rebuilds new structures to bury the past.
And for God's sake, don't let it be honest.

text: Don't forget the head gear! Oregon law requires bicyclists, skateboarders, scooter riders and in-line skaters under the age of 16 wear approved protective headgear anytime you are operating on a highway or premises open to the public. This means any street or parking lot such as Safeway or Albertsons as well as the Skate Park on Parker Road. Anyone operating these devices, regardless of age should wear protective headgear, but the law only covers those under 16. Not wearing protective headgear can result in a fine of up to $25. If you are 11 years of age or younger your parents will be getting that citation, but parents can be cited for any age child up to 16 years old. Many people don't realize Oregon law also requires bicycle riders operating on a street obey all traffic laws. This means obeying traffic signals, road markings and signs (which includes stopping at all stop signs), riding on the right with traffic, using correct hand signals, and yielding to pedestrians. Be safe, be aware of your surroundings, and don't forget the helmet!

Can anyone identify this plant that has randomly appeared in my yard? I'm guessing a bird dropped a seed. It's about 4 1/2 feet tall, with yellow flowers beginning to open on the top stalk and fuzzy leaves, kind of like lambs' ears. Thanks! |

If you like birds, you might want to keep it! I don't find that it is bad for reseeding in my garden - and it is pretty cool, as Ken says! |
Here is a link that might be useful: benefit of mullein
Thx ottawavalley; I didn't know it until now that birds use this stuff. I just happen to like common mullein. |
It's been a spring ritual for a few years to find a mullein volunteering somewhere in a garden bed. Never planted one, and there is never more than one volunteer a year and it comes up the next year someplace quite a distance from the previous year. I haven't found it yet this year. I like them. |
Butterflies luv this wildflower! The flowers smell nice, too. I wouldn't pull it out of my garden.... |
Verbascum thapsus - yes, it self seeds but it is no trouble to uproot if it puts itself where you don't want it. Not a horrible weed in my book. it's hardly going to spoil the area in the OPs garden there. |

Really digging this one. But it's taking a few spins to dig through the layers and fully digest it. The production reminds me a bit of Let Us Prey, but with more feedback. However, I do kind of prefer their sound with more low end and little fuller.

Midtown East
The Pod Hotel
New York, NY, 10022, United States
Taking its cue from the Ikea school of cheap chic, this youth-oriented urban hotel isn't for everyone. But its 347 tiny, clean, cleverly designed rooms—very mod, with stainless-steel sinks and Eames-inspired desk chairs—are a blessing for anyone visiting New York on a budget. Rooms with private baths start at $139, but even the shared bathrooms have rain showers. Coverlets allow beds to double as daybeds, and tucked-away drawers under the bed allow guests to make the most of their space. But this isn't the kind of place where people hang out in their rooms. The maple-paneled lobby (with Coke machine!) is a lively hangout, where guests can use free Wi-Fi to access the hotel's own blog; plans for an outdoor café were being developed at press time.
Tip: Hit up concierge Bryan Raughton for tips on how to have fun in New York on a budget—it's his specialty.
Room to Book: The $89-a-night bunk rooms may be the best bargain in town, at least for those who don't mind the train-cabin feel—and each bed has its own fold-out flat-panel TV.
