Furthur at Red Rocks, 9/22/13
Eric Gruneisen
FURTHUR at RED ROCKS | NIGHT FOUR | 9/22/13
Last night marked the final show of Furthur's annual four-day Red Rocks run, and Mother Nature continued playing a prominent role as dark rain clouds quickly moved by on the horizon. Luckily, everyone came prepared for the worst, and for very good reason: Rain or shine, there was no chance anyone was missing what could possibly be the last show this band plays at Red Rocks.
See also: Review - Furthur at Red Rocks night one, night two and night three
"Samson and Delilah" started out the night with a bang, the song starting with just Joe Russo on drums, accompanied by the whole band singing for the first verse before they each joined in with their instruments. The crowd favorite had everyone on their feet and dancing, excited because it sounded like once again we had a high energy band. Phil Lesh was slapping his bass with authority for the next song "Foolish Heart," as Kadlecik released beautiful ascending melodies from his guitar.
It all made for a nice bright, major-chord jam just as the rain started to drizzle down. As the band brought things down low and started up "Black Throated Wind," the wind quickly picked up and made us wonder, "are they controlling the weather or just commentating on it?" While Bob Weir's vocals had been strong all weekend, they sounded just a little tired here, understandably; it's been a long, hard weekend.
Eric Gruneisen
Kadlecik took over vocals, singing a beautiful version of "Brown Eyed Women," with the line, "sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down," coming just as the skies opened up on the venue. It got so windy at that point that Kadlecik's guitar strap almost came off for a second. He's so pro, though; he caught it almost immediately.
With just a quick melody change, the band transitioned into "New Speedway Boogie," with Sunshine Becker stealing the show with her angelic backup vocals. That shrill guitar tone from last night's "Althea" was back, but then so were Weir's strong vocals as he really went to town here. When the line "spend a little time on the mountain" was sang, the audience all pointed to the sky, making for a really powerful moment between band and fans. Once again, Kadlecik's guitar work shined as he laid down yet another soulful guitar solo. A quick tempo "Deal" closed the set with Chimenti taking the lead and showering the crowd with twinkly piano fills.

Reese and Jake Will Do the Deed
Love is the drug for Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, and OK! reports they're about to take one big hit.
The two were in dating bliss recently at a Charleston, South Carolina, café, but a source tells the mag, "They've been talking marriage for a while. They'll be formally engaged any day now. They want to spend the rest of their lives together."
Now that Reese's kids, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, are all comfy with stepdad-to-be Jake, and her ex Ryan Phillippe has finally resigned himself to the fact that his box-office-bonanza babe is gone like the wind, the air is clear for a new family formation.
And this won't be any elopement or shack-up sitch, as Witherspoon is all about southern-fried tradition. "This is a very serious relationship," a source tells Us, "but Reese is very conservative. I'm sure she doesn't want her kids to see her 'living in sin.' "
Neither star's rep will confirm the impending nuptials, but in Hollywood's own tradition, that means squat. Mazel tov, you two!

The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Archives and History. "This conference couldn't come at a better time," said NLCC founder and co-chairman Carolyn Vance Smith.

The Olympic Award–winning conference will feature four days of presentations, movie screenings, readings, and more, including:
Because of major support from the four co-sponsors as well as the Mississippi Humanities Council and other agencies, most of the NLCC is free of charge, Smith said.

I'm disappointed... I got those thinking, I will rock the hill... well It didn't went quite well. After just one day of shred in Mammoth pretty much all of the bottons popped out when I tried to un-botton the pockets... When it comes to size I got Medium and I'm 5'11 fits like Large.

Johnny Depp enjoyed himself in a rather bizarre manner on the set of his new movie Sweeny Todd by soaking himself in fake blood.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star recently revealed that he really enjoyed filming g ory scenes for the film, as he loved getting drenched in a red liquid.
Depp said that he found it amusing to watch the crew being hit by the red corn syrup mixture used in violent scenes.
"Everyone except me was covered in plastic. It was a bizarre sight. There'd be a countdown – three – two – one… action. Then blammo (sic), a deluge of what looked like blood! Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
It tasted kind of syrupy. It was also oily so it got pretty slippery," he added.

Designed by Jun-Tae Park and Sanghyun Jeong, the 'Full Circle' cycle is like no two-wheeler you've ever pedaled. As an entry for the Seoul Cycle Design Competition, this bug-eyed bike is difficult to decipher, given its absence of what are usually standard bicycle parts.
The 'Full Circle' cycle has pedals that pop right out of the wheels, equipped with a free gear-changer within. Simple in form and even simpler in storage, this iconic-looking bicycle will streamline your commute.

OOC - who was that awesome person that put together the list of clues?
We have recieved an anonymous letter. This may help you track down the killer. Or in this case, killers.
There is not one murderer, but two
It's your job to find out who
This clue I will give
So you all may live
I suppose it's the least I can do.
Daisy, Lilo, and Cindy were put under
By the same stinking culprit, no wonder
The poor fate of these three
Soon another there'll be
If you keep making these silly blunders.
Scrooge, Mulan, and Mike had another
I'm guessing it wasn't their brother
And now ends the clue
What on earth will you do?
If you can't put these pieces together.
************************************************** *
"Almost everyone is mad here. You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself." - Chesire Cat
"You have spirit for one so small, and that spirit deserves a fighting chance." - Shere Khan
That would be me! I'll find them & Repost em all!
"What ARRRRGH you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"No, What ARRRRGH you doing?"Cap'n Jack lives again!"I'll try anything once or twice, that's the kind of mouse I am"
Here are the grouped clues:
1) Brown Hair (Daisy); Seaweed (Lilo); Singing Lessons (Cinderella)
2) Blue Piece of Fabric (Scrooge); Mulan (Cat Hairs); Mike (Book)
Remaining Guests (future victims?):
Master Gracie; Belle; Alice; Jasmine; Figment; Beast; Grumpy; Winnie the Pooh; Genie; Eeyore; Cruella; Tigger; Pinocchio; Archimedes; Miss Piggy; Pocahontas; Simba; Lady
Now who possibly fits Murderer 1: Figment (Dreamfinder's Hair; Water Fountains; He Sings); Beast (Sings, Brown Hair, water??); Miss Piggy (Water from MuppetVision; Tries to Sing, brown hair???); Pocahontas (Water, sings, hair???);
Now who possibly fits Murderer 2: Alice (blue dress, has cat, was studying history); Belle (blue dress, books, not sure of cat hairs); Beast (same at Belle); Pinocchio (School Books, cat hairs, blue cloth??);
Those are my ramblings anyways.
OOC: Sorry, didn't mean to step on your toes. I was just trying to be helpful. However, I don't know too much about a few of the characters, so I'm sure I'm missing ton's of stuff!
Miss Piggy: "The management knows that there are two murders, and which clues go to which murderer, and they still let us get killed!!!! Moi thinks Disney should do something about this mess! Cruella, dahling, would you care to come shopping with Moi?" *heads off towards World Showcase*
OOC: New update after the letter from murder:
I'm really stretching on some of these....

- Pocahontas: Can swim, friendly with all animals, sings
- Simba- Is a cat, swims in pond with Pumbah & Timon, sings
- Lady: Had 2 cats visit her home

"What ARRRRGH you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"No, What ARRRRGH you doing?"Cap'n Jack lives again!"I'll try anything once or twice, that's the kind of mouse I am"
OOC: No worries! I'm glad to see we both accused ourselves & each other! Your post was much less confusing than mine!

I just ordered a green panda and it should be hardy in zone 6. This is my 1st bamboo and would like to learn how to care for it.
I would like to wait one, two or three years as you suggest to propagate. What is the best way and best time of the year. Any tips propagating "Green Panda" and caring for It will be appreciated. Paul |
Follow-Up Postings:
Personally if I want to keep something alive I get it in the ground. Pots can be fine but I've lost alot of bamboo because of watering problem where the boos in the ground were fine. Specially if its hardy in your zone. Compost and mulch always helps but most bamboo isn't too picky. |
I am also in MAz6 and planted some fargesia last summer. the rufa is in an area sheltered by the wind and is growing great.It was green all winter. The f.robusta and f.scabrida were in a windy area and totally defoliated. they are now coming back slowly, but the rufais growing like a weed.Give it a lot of water in the dry summer months and don't plant in FULL sun.First year you can fertilize wit a top dressing of composted manure,nothing strong or harsh. good luck and get it in the ground. |
I wish I could plant it in the ground but I live in a condo complex and have very little land of my own to plant in. The reason "green pander" was choosen is because it is supposed to be the smallest of the hardy bamboos for shady areas. I don't know too much about it but was told to split it every couple or three years if it is grown in a container. I was planing to use a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of prepackaged soil mix and turface and can get a supply of fish and seeweed liquid fertilizer. Would this be OK? Paul |
I just bought a 'Green Panda' and think I have a decent spot to place it. Sounds perfect for me, but that may be just the hype. I am ignorant about Bamboo I admit. The plant is very thick in the two gallon pot and some of the leaves are kinda of yellow... should I thin the plant out and cut out some of the older growth now? or just leave alone? Do you thin out clumping Bamboo and remove the older shoots as yearly maintainance? |
I'm a newbie wanna be Boo buyer. Just not sure what to buy for clay soil in 92223 zip with 6.5ph. Also don't want Boo to grow over 20' in one part of yard and around 5' in other part where I'd like a Boo hedge running between our home and neighbors in the front yard. Any suggestions? |
Most of us need help and this should be the place to get it. Thanks to the 2 that tried. Paul |
noki. the yellowing of the leaves is a natural process for bamboo. the plant will clean itself as new growth emerges and old leaves die.The plant will maintain itself.no need to cull. |
Hi, this message is for Noki and any other that have already planted green panda in Ohio. What are your results? I would like a privacy screen, but would like it not too thick or clumpy, more narrow, but dont' want to fool with the running type. I am considering this type for that area that gets mostly shade. Please let me know if you have a moment. Thanks! |

Quoted from PrincessMia I start a new health challenge March 1st which will force me to get back to my exercise regularily and eat vegetables. I really have a hard time with vegetables.
Quoted from 14442 I thought coffee was good for As? This article by Ray Peat says coffee is a vitamin like nutrient or adaptogen:http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/caffeine.shtml
Quoted from CasimirJ Well unless you happened to be an A blood type Explorer. With coffee it really depends on the genes you have in your liver.Check out the following links about how caffeine is linked to Heart attacks for those of us that don't process it well, based on a study published in JAMA:http://www.stress-fat-heart-solutions-for-boomers.com/the-caffeine-metabolizing-gene.htmlhttp://jama.ama-assn.org/content/295/10/1135This is just another example of one size not fitting all as Dr. D always says. Coffee has many benefits if your liver has the right genes.
Quoted from PrincessMia Since I have been trying to cut my caffeine, I have been getting terrible headaches. I would think that they should have subsided by now. My chiro-practitioner thinks it is that. He says I just may be very sensitive to it.

It seems the late-afternoon Knobblings evolved into a full scale swap, as the Reds and Indians did indeed exchange players, including the aforementioned Drew Stubbs and Shin-Soo Choo. But the eager Diamondbacks horned in on the action, getting their desperately needed shortstop and some bullpen support. The full deal is as follows:
To Cincinnati | To Cleveland | To Arizona |
The Reds get their man. After posting some rather putrid numbers out of the leadoff spot in 2012, Cincy gets a high-OBP outfielder to slot ahead of the rest of their high OBP and power guys. They pay a pretty steep price for one year of Choo's services in Drew Stubbs and Didi Gregoris.
Cleveland does very well in this deal, converting one year of Choo's services and pre-arb utility man Jason Donald is into the third overall pick in the 2011 draft, Trevor Bauer. Bauer became something of a sideshow for the Diamondbacks this year, thanks to his outspoken pitching beliefs and his controversial (and awesome) pregame long toss routine.
Despite all the hype and quick ascent to the big leagues, Bauer struggled with his control and battled — somewhat publicly — with Diamondbacks management in 2012. Strange that they new braintrust in AZ would sour on Bauer so quickly (previous GM Jerry Dipoto drafted the right-hander from UCLA.) Many still believe Bauer will reach his ceiling as a number two starter, they love his arsenal and #want. Others, myself included, are less than convinced. If his stuff is as good as advertised, why not trust it?
The Spiders also acquire Stubbs, a strong outfielder with moderate to severe contact issues – without the requisite power to offset the 30% strikeout rate. His speed isn't well utilized walking back to the dugout after another strikeout but with three remaining years of control, Stubbs gives Cleveland time to upgrade.
Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw are relief pitchers. Everybody needs relievers. Albers was okay for the Red Sox once. Bryan Shaw throws with his right hand and was a five-time NBA champion as a player and coach for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Arizona gets something it waited weeks to double up on – a defense-first shortstop. After shipping Chris Young (aka Drew Stubbs' best case scenario) to Oakland in exchange for Cliff Pennington, the Snakes now have Didi Gregorius to fill in should anything happen to Cliff. Lots of tools but the usual concerns about the ability to stick at shortstop and/or hit in the big leagues that come with any up-the-middle prospect.
Arizona also acquires Lars Anderson, a prospect veering dangerously close to the "busted" end of the spectrum after his time in the Red Sox system elevated his stock. A first baseman yet to slug .500 above double-A is not a player upon which many hopes are hung.
Is Gregorius really the best haul Kevin Towers could muster for Trevor Bauer? What is the Diamondbacks play here, other than a much stronger belief in their new SS and a dimmer view of what Bauer offers both now and in the future.
The Reds want to win, they do. They want to win the NL Central and realize that beating the Cardinals in 2013 requires an upgrade in their offense. Choo will walk at the end of the year, clearing the way for Billy Hamilton.
For now the Reds eschew defense in exchange for slugging it out with the Cardinals and Brewers (?) in the NL Central. Cleveland builds towards the next good team, getting younger and cheaper, shrewdly buying low on a legit talent in Bauer.
Arizona? They get nicer? Less likely to extol the virtues of pitching up in the zone on twitter? We're told the D-Backs will no longer consider offers for Justin Upton which, good? Maybe I'm crazy but they seem like a club headed in a weird direction, considering the recent activities of their division mates. It is entirely possible they are right about both Gregorius and Bauer but, for now, it leaves many scratching their heads.

(Dec. 11, 11:49 a.m.) Los Angeles-based VBM International Berry LLC, a division of the Giumarra Co., Los Angeles, opened a berry cooling facility, Frigo Berry, in Jalisco, Mexico.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 21 featured guest speakers Emilio Gonzalez, governor of the state of Jalisco, and Alberto Cardenas, national agriculture minister, said company spokeswoman Megan Schulz.
The new 13,000-square-feet facility offers receiving, post-harvest treatment, pre-cooling and distribution of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.
"The Frigo Berry facility was opened to improve our operational facilities and give us better control of the supply chain," senior vice president of Giumarra Tim Riley said in an e-mail. "It will allow us to continue supporting our blueberry and blackberry growers in the Guzman area. The benefits of the facility include improved cold storage and post-harvest handling."
Don Corsaro, president of the Giumarra Cos., attended the event, along with VBM directors Eugenio Silva and Juan Ignacio Allende, Schulz said.

looking for all of you down here looking for answers to good beer.. Join the Costa Rica Brewers Group..
Hi, My wife and I are going to down to Puerto Viejo in July!! Any chance of finding craft beer down there? We are stoked....it will be our first time in Costa Rica. Cheers!! Al
Check out my nanobrewery!http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Two...02323289804018
You know we're down for it!
I found a microbrew (North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner) once in a small store in Playa del Coco. It ended up being old and oxidized (cooked). We also went to this place (see http://volcanobrewingcompany.com/) on the way to Arenal, but they were not brewing yet. Also, look for Pilsen 6.0 and Bohemian Dark some of the better commercial stuff. We go down there occasionally, how do you join the group?
Volcano Brewing was brewing at least since last December - we visited with my son who came to see us for Christmas. I don't remember the particular name of their pale ale; it was OK, but pretty much run of the mill, in my opinion. It is not widely distributed, if at all, and the brewery at the north end of Lake Arenal is a long way from anywhere. Much, much better is Segua (a red ale) and Libertas (a pale ale) from Costa Rica Craft Brewing Co. in Cartago. These are on tap at a number of places and you can find retail outlets also. Not that it is easy, but it is possible. They have brewed several other styles, but I haven't found any in retail outlets, and the on tap locations are too far for us to go just for a beer. I have just brewed my first ever batch, a True Brew Canadian Ale kit, with equipment and the kit brought from the US. At about 5 weeks after brewing, I'd say it's drinkable, but not outstanding. However, there are now two LHBS in Costa Rica. TicaBirra http://www.ticobirra.com in Pavas (more or less near the U.S. Embassy), has about 4 extract kits (all Munton's, I believe), and some equipment as well. Bodega de Chema http://www.bodegadechema.com , in Los Yoses (East San José) has some items for sale, but never having been there, I cannot say for sure what they have. The online store has only a few things listed. It appears that home brewing here in CR is poised to grow. By the way, Oregon Hopster, we are originally from Medford, and boy, do I miss all the craft brews from Oregon!
where can I buy seeds to grow hops in Costa Rica. where can I buy hops here? How about some homebrew equipment here in CR? Thanks
Hello and have a brew!! I am looking for Craft beer / supplies in the Central Pacific. Randy
Hello all. I will be moving to San Jose in mid August. I'm an all grain brewer (I currently brew 1-2 times a week in Afghanistan) and will be shipping all my equipment with me. A couple questions. Are the co2 and propane tanks compatible to American connections? Do you use a fridge or chill box for fermenting? Are second hand fridges easy to come by? Cheap? Scott
People that like light beer don't like the taste of beer they just like to pee a lot!

At the The Royal Mile Pub, servers and regulars alike greet guests with a hearty "Cead mile failte!" It's Gaelic for "a hundred thousand welcomes," and the sentiment permeates every brew, stew, and show. Juxtaposing the local with the far-flung, Royal Mile cultivates a communal mood while maintaining a Scottish identity. To wit, the menu spotlights haggis, Orkney Scotch eggs, and traditional British-style breakfasts.
Spotlighting Scotland is a trend that also permeates the eatery's decor. Colorful tartans hang from the rafters, some of which match the kilts of live performers. The pub even takes its name from the region: Between Scotland's Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse, there's a 1-mile series of streets traditionally traveled by Scottish royalty. The Royal Mile Pub is named for this thoroughfare, and its staff has welcomed its guests as it would kings and queens since it opened in 1981.
At Quench, Chef Ed Hardy and barman Matt Allred aim to live up to the hype stemming from the Favorite New Restaurant and Best Cocktail Program awards they earned from the Restaurant Association of Maryland. They, along with their team of chefs, go beyond simply making food and mixing drinks?they prepare artful dinner specialties and unique, out-of-the-box cocktails. Though their meal creations arise out of seemingly simple ingredients?local produce, house-ground meats?the team crafts wildly creative send-ups of typical pub fare in addition to traditional comfort foods. Short ribs are braised for days, bacon is cured in-house, and fresh ground lamb meatballs fill out the seasonal risotto with fresh local ramps. Quench also plates healthy fare such as edamame hummus served with local cucumbers and apples and a fresh and locally caught fish of the day, all complemented by inventive cocktails. The seasonal dessert menu of house-made ice cream sandwiches and rhubarb cobbler round out the dining experience.
The drinks, with clever names such as Sex in the Burbs and Django Juice, draw on a palette of blood-orange juice, house-made foams, and uniquely infused spirits. Mixology classes prepare students to delight party guests, and Quench also hosts events such as Saturday and Sunday brunches scored by live music and scratch-made weekday lunches.
Like a United Nations of varietals, some of the world's tastiest wines from countries such as Argentina, Chile, Italy, and France are well-represented within Jackie's Wine Bar. Connoisseurs savor the unique notes of each pour while investigating the black-framed pictures on Jackie's coffee-colored walls and the shelves of wine bottles that vie for attention behind the bar by wearing chic designer labels. On Thursday evenings, free salsa lessons invite patrons to set down their glasses and grab their dance partner's hand; Saturday nights feature live bands that serve dulcet melodies as aromatic bouquets serenade olfactory receptors. Fresh air courses through Jackie's outdoor patio, where visitors can alternate between sips of wine or beer and bites of sandwiches, desserts, and appetizers.
Novelty shirts airbrushed with bikini-clad bodies provide the convincing, if temporary, illusion of fitness. Find a more permanent fitness solution with today's Groupon: for $45, you'll get an introductory package of Pilates classes from American Dance Institute, a $144 value. Your package includes one private session, one equipment class, and two mat classes. Check out American Dance Institute's schedule for class times.
American Dance Institute's professionally trained instructors undergo more than 600 rigorous hours of training and at least one hour of cat-sitting before they're allowed to teach. The friendly and motivational guides are adept at adapting their workouts to benefit all levels of fitness, from UFC champs to relatively inanimate tree moss. Your private lesson gives you one-on-one access to one of the fitness gurus for a workout fashioned to meet your body's needs and help you reach your personal goals.
The equipment class will teach you to use each of the specialized Pilates machines, which will help you perfect your form in each exercise and extend the benefits beyond what you can do with your body alone. Equipment classes are great for beginners just learning Pilates, and classes are limited to four students, so you'll get plenty of attention. Mat classes offer a series of challenging exercises that don't require any props or equipment (oversized sunglasses, invisible dog leash, etc.). Offered in a group format with no more than 11 students, your mat classes will teach you the skills you need to work out in your cramped apartment or stay fit while traveling.
Pilates allows you to build a rock-solid body without turning into Rocky; strength comes through endurance and repetition rather than pumping pounds of kilograms of iron. Weak backs and flimsy core muscles benefit from the slow but steady regimen. By learning how to move your body using an efficient range of motion, you will leave your session walking taller and less prone to injuries not sustained from lightning. Perhaps the best benefit of all is the buddy-system-style workout built into Pilates. Your motivation comes externally, from cheerful instructors and friendly classmates, rather than from bitterly chanted mantras and tyrannical resolutions.
Though there are few online reviews, two Yelpers give American Dance Institute a perfect five stars:
- The instructors are really attentive to the details - my form and sense of breath have dramatically improved in the short time I've been there. I look forward to every [Pilates] class, they're so much fun and so challenging. – Jessica S.
- The building itself is immaculate, spotless, and clean. The dressing rooms, and restrooms are impeccable. Its [sic] not an intimidating atmosphere at all… – Kat S.
Inspired by early 20th century chili parlors, Hard Times Cafe aims to preserve the tradition of delectable, hearty fare served in a friendly, lively community eatery. Elevate taste buds to new heights with an order of legendary grilled wings in one of five flavors, including original Texas, chili-lime, honey-barbecue, and eternity ($8.99 per order). Hard Times Cafe serves four distinct varieties of chili. The authentic chili mac is served over spaghetti with your choice of accouterments ($7.49–$8.89). Burgers, sliders, and chili dogs are easily transportable by hand or hovercraft, and savory steaks and other suppertime favorites provide more refined nourishment options.

Here is a picture of the front of the house straight on, followed by a picture a bit more from the side to show where new bed will go. Hope the text on the photo is clear, but if not, here is a summary.
Looking for overall impression of plan and these specifics: 1) What can I put at the end of the new bed in front of neighbors fence (landscaper suggested spruce, but I think it will grow too large for the area. Looking for large tall shrub or tree. Need to keep it contained so doesn�t go into neighbors yard 2) Landscaper suggested coral bells for miscellaneous placement. Would rather go with another perennial in addition to the astilbe and blue fescue grass suggested. Considered purple heuchera but concerned as is over used in my subdivision- may still consider this though- any other suggestions? 3) Torn between Pink Diamond Hydragenea or Limelight Hydragenea. Any experiences with either?
Expand planting bed to create island on right side of photo by neighbor�s split rail fence to sidewalk. Move existing globe arborvitae closer together (5 under windows on right side of photo, 3 under windows left side of photo). Add either Pink Diamond Hydragenea or Limelight Hydragenea to bed in front of windows on left side of photo in front of 3 globe arborvitae.
Ground cover by existing lilac buses flanking entrance, by crab tree, by Spruce on new island (or replacement suggestion of large bush or small tree) 5 large hosta by crab tree
Thanks for any advice! |

Too bad you didn't get much response. Your original query was likely too concerned with details of plant selection and the presentation was so complicated that it looked like a half-hour assignment just to get up to speed. I hope you are finding your way through your questions. A local nursery might be a better resource for individual plant selection than a forum of design enthusiasts. Karin L |

I gave it a look. It did seem complicated--sorry. :-) I'd ditch the miniglobe arbs there--they grow too slowly. >2) Landscaper suggested coral bells for miscellaneous placement. Would rather go with another perennial in addition to the astilbe and blue fescue grass suggested. Considered purple heuchera but concerned as is over used in my subdivision- may still consider this though- any other suggestions? There are TONS of heuchera choices. Why limit yourself? Get something else if you don't want purple. >3) Torn between Pink Diamond Hydragenea or Limelight Hydragenea. Any experiences with either? Adore limelight. The plan now is nicely low maintenance. |

You have a big house and your current plan seems too small to carry it. The beds as they are now are too small too. Knockout roses and flower carpet roses are wonderful. Add as many as you can - low maintenence, all season colour, what more could you ask? They look great set against dark evergreens. Try yew as it's slow growing, easily kept in check, a beautiful green not prickly like other evergreens. You may also want to add a baby blue spruce which will stay small. I have a lot of limelight in the back because they work in shade and were on sale for $7 and they're great space fillers but not very showy. I think since your house is so large and neutral you should pick something like endless summer. I know a lot of people like hostas and if you do too go for it, but to me they are overused and shouldn't be planted unless you are dealing with an are where nothing else grows. As a ground cover try red nancy lamium which is easily kept in control and will bloom profusely in spring and periodically through the rest of the summer. It has lovely variegated foliage too, so it always looks good and really keeps down the weeds. |
I like the contrast between Limelight Hydrangea (which gets tall) and the Knockouts. I have several Knockouts and they are great plants requiring no care plus they bloom their heads off. I'd just suggest being careful of the Limelight in front of that window. How far out from the foundation will you plant it? Judging by the color of your car in front, your house is more grey than tan, right? So, in my opinion, you need more color contrast in the overall design. You might want to look at shrubs with different stem color or leaf color to stand out against the house. I wouldn't suggest specific plants unless I knew what kind of sun your front yard gets. Did I read your plan correctly --- there are lilacs on each side of the front entrance? Do you know what kind they are and how tall they grow? Lilacs are wonderful but can become huge. I know there are smaller, longer blooming varieties and wonder if these are what you have. I agree with the poster who said the beds need to be more substantial --- deeper.The peak on the left is quite tall and would be 'balanced' with larger planting bed in front of it. FInally, please don't plant a tree where it will block the view of the front door or the windows on the left. I think the inviting front entrance and porch are two of the nicest features of your lovely home! Molie |

I received a sample of this cream (creme?) and decided to try it on on my dry, sensitive skin. OW. I really wish I hadn't. First off, this stuff is heavily fragranced. I am not a fan of putting anything with a strong scent on my face, and the smell of this (while not unpleasant) lingered for a long time after I put it on. The texture was nice and light so I was dubious if it would be very moisturizing for me, but I didn't get to really test that because about 30 seconds after I put it on my face started burning/stinging everywhere I had put the lotion. Really bummed.
I used this light, but really hydrating moisturizer in the summer, and I really liked it - it´s not too light or even mattifying, it just gives my skin the perfect shot of moisture without leaving any residue. Due to the fact that it´s made by Caudalie, I guess it´s also a decent source of antioxidants. It didn´t do any miracles concerning fine lines or taming redness, so it´s not an absolute must-have for me, but maybe I´ll get it again next summer. In winter it won´t be enough for my thirsty skin.
This cream comes in a tube containing 40 mL. The texture of it it's kind of like a fluffy ricotta cheese that blends easily into the skin. I have normal to combination skin, prone to breakouts, but I haven't had any issues in that area.
On the other hand, if you take a look at Caudalie (in general), you'll see in the ingredient list that they are a big fan of fragrance. However, fragrance doesn't do anything good for your skin and you should be using the least of it (if possible, none), especially if you have sensitve skin. This product has a very strong scent, the first time I strongly disliked it, now I can tolerate it but still...
Overall, I think Caudalie is an overhyped brand, and this product is nothing special. Won't repurchase.
One of my favourite moisturizers. The name "sorbet" makes a lot of sense once you try it as it has a lovely light, fluffy texture that melts away into you skin when you put it on. It has that lovely mild scent that the whole vinosource range seems to have - sorta grapy?
My skin is very redness prone and reactive, but this goes on very soothing and cooling, and instantly makes me feel less irritated. It definitelt helps reduce my redness, hydrates well enough to keep any dryness at bay (I have to mention though that I use it together with the s.o.s thirst quenching serum) and it hasn't broken me out once since I bought it.
In fact when I bought this I was going through the worst break-out of my life (worse than anything I'd had in my teens), and this together with the s.o.s thirst quenching serum was a complete skin saviour for me. I saw the difference after one week.
My only issue with this is that the price for me seems a little high, when you only get a smallish tube. It's a quality product though so that isn't likely to hold me back from getting again (although i might grit my teeth a little).

I received a generous sample of this with an on-line purchase. The first time I used it I didn't pay attention, the next time though, I was intrigued that my skin looked less *red*. The sample lasted a month and I found myself reaching for this in the late afternoon after my workout and a quick shower. This sinks in very quickly, its light and there is no shine and for me its a perfect moisture for underneath makeup too. I love that this product comes in a tube and its very easy to travel with. I'm a big fan of Caudalie and use several of their products, and consider this a very important player in my routine since I'm extremely active (I mountainbike) and am involved in some very muddy sports. After washing off in the field, this is what I carry in my pack to feel *normal* and hydrated and like I said, my skin looses that angry red look very quickly. I will definitely repurchase this.

I really like this product. I usually have problems with face moisturizers, most of the time I end up with spots and I feel if my skin pores were festering oil...I think this is the only mosturizer that my skin likes apart from the retired Vichy's Antio-Ox, however this one feels much more natural. The formula flashes down to a soft-matte finish, without greasy, heavy feel. I love the texture. For me, its moisturizing capacity is more than fine despite the fact that I live in Madrid which is a very dry city with very low humidity.
I really like natural formulas and for me, this is the best natural moisturizer I've ever tried.
I am loving this Sorbet! It has such a wonderful texture (light and fluffy) and melts into the skin leaving a hydrated feeling! I think this is also a great buy for someone who is new to skincare (because it is so pleasurable to use) and you dont feel it sitting on the skin. My only thing about this creme is that it is most definatly not going to be "enough" for me this winter (the season fast approaching for me) and I fear I will soon need something thicker and more balmy (I live in Canada) but my for sure go to summer creme xo highly recommed for sesitive skin that likes light and fluffy creme.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
At first I really liked this because it's feels so nice on my skin. It's light, the texture is fun (kind of whipped, and it's moisturizing. This didn't bother my sensitive skin. But with time after using this product, I found out that my skin needed more moisture. This couldn't help with my dried flakes and cracks anymore after a couple hours.
This is a very basic moisturizer, so for those who have normal skin should be okay with it. If you do have very dry skin, I'd advise you to get something more stronger/moisturizing.
For 38$, this is pretty expensive for the small amount of product you receive. Be sure to sample if possible!
This is my daily go to moisturizer. If I need a bit more moisture, I mix in some of the Premières Vendanges Moisturizing Cream. During summer and on hot days I use the Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid in my T zone and this everywhere else on my face and neck. The scent is light and it feels wonderful and hydrating. It has equalized my skin like no other, my once super oily skin is happy and very nourished / plump feeling.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Another product I wanted to like. The texture is souffle like and glides over your skin so well. And the smell is light and pleasant. That's where the good points end. This cream is so, so oily, I would never wear it during the day when I'm running around and don't have time to wash my face. There is also a very very slight stinging that occurs when I first apply the cream. And then there's the worse offense: it breaks my skin out. My skin is usually low maintenance and will do things like dry out, peel, or turn red before breaking out, so take as you will.

We purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Vanderbilt Collection, World Class Angelique, Visco Super Pillow Top from Macys about 4 years ago. My hips hurt, and the bed doesn't seem to give us enough support...just got back from a vacation and slept at a Hyatt and really loved that bed. What might you recommend as a replacement that might compare - I am very disappointed in this current bed. Any thoughts?
Hi Janet,
What you have at home, is a luxury mattress. What you slept on at the Hyatt was a cheap mattress. Most hotels use a low end Sealy or Serta and add a topper for comfort.
I'd suggest looking at the Sealy Posturepedics in the Reserve Series...a cushion firm model and adding a 2" soft latex topper to that. The latex toppers are extremely resilient and comfortable. The Sealy Posturepedic unit is a strong, well made, basic mattress.
That combination, in a few years, will still feel pretty much the same. You won't be disappointed.

(April 6, 2012) Fraud prevention and enforcement activities continue at the top of the Office of the Inspector General's (OIG) focus areas. Just recently, the Attorney General and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released its fiscal year 2011 report, which revealed that healthcare fraud prevention and enforcement efforts recovered the most taxpayer dollars (i.e. nearly $4.1 billion) in any fiscal year to date. This annual report, titled the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program (HCFAC) Report, summarizes the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) efforts. The report notes that the Affordable Care Act provided additional tools and resources to enhance activities, which resulted in record annual funds being recovered.
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF)
Scrutiny continues on all aspects of health care provision, with all health care providers being a prime focus of investigations. The OIG presents providers with its plan of action each year in the annual HHS OIG work plan. In recent years and in 2012 the OIG's focus on the skilled nursing industry continues to be potential billing practice problems.
The ongoing audits being conducted by the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) to approve consolidated SNF billing resulted in a study to determine if Medicare billing separately is in compliance with consolidated Medicare billing requirements and standards. Consolidated billing uses the strategy that all services provided during an SNF stay should be bundled, billed and reimbursed as one lump sum. This bundled billing should not include any excluded services, such as physician and other non-physician provider services. The RAC region provider determines and announces new audit issues identified and approved.
Among SNF issues identified was high therapy service utilization, which received increased audit focus and scrutiny. CMS permits RACs to request no more than 10 records to audit as test claims to determine the value of including the specific type of claim in future audits. Region B's RAC obtained approval to conduct test claims of ultra-high therapy Resource Utilization Groups (RUGs) and based upon test claim audit findings, ultra-high therapy utilization was added to the approved audit issues list.
Key risk areas for providers to include in compliance plans are those internal and external areas that RACs are targeting in audits. Issues under scrutiny include beneficiaries' qualifying three-day hospital stay verified and documented, certification by physicians completed within allowable time frame and timely therapy service sessions that are clearly documented and demonstrate progress towards goals and billing using the appropriate RUG code.
Home Health
In March, the OIG released its study of home health claims relative to recipients complying with Medicare home health coverage criteria. This review was conducted on 495 beneficiary records receiving services during 2008 and validated that only two percent of those served did not meet Medicare home health coverage requirements. That meant 98 percent of beneficiaries were found to meet coverage requirements. There were three coverage criteria reviewed (i.e. homebound status, skilled or therapy service need and under a physician's care). In evaluating billing practices it appeared that a higher level was billed than delivered about 10 percent of the time and that claims were billed at lower level than care delivered about 10 percent of the time. Most billing mistakes occurred due to coding errors. The study also found documentation was present to demonstrate that skilled nursing care and therapy services were reasonable and necessary. The 2 pecent not found to be in compliance with Medicare home health service eligibility requirements was due to lack of documentation that demonstrated the beneficiary was homebound.
Despite these good results relative to Medicare home health criteria, there were other findings where improvement was recommended. This included deficiency in the plan of care (36 percent), discharge plan not present (15 percent), rehabilitation potential not documented (9 percent) and signature dates lacking for plan of care physician signatures (21 percent). A cautionary note was provided in that all physician orders must be signed and dated prior to billing Medicare for services.
In other HHA activities, OASIS data submission was studied and findings were not overly positive. The study revealed that in 2009, 6 percent of claims (i.e. 392,180) did not submit the required OASIS data, but that only 199 HHAs were penalized with a two percent CMS payment reduction from 2007 through 2010. In addition, some states conducted only a limited review of the OASIS data resulting in CMS non-validation of the states' processes. The recommendation resulting from this study, supported by CMS, was to identify all HHAs that failed to submit OASIS data and apply the two percent payment reduction to all (Report OEI- OEI-01-10-00460).
Personal Care
An OIG review of New Mexico Medicaid personal care found that claims did not always comply with all federal and state requirements. This occurred in 23 percent of the random record reviews with the most frequent deficiency findings being attendant training, number of units claimed for attendant services and prior approval for personal care services provided by a legal guardian. It was recommended to the New Mexico State Medicaid to reimburse the federal government the $889,000 paid for unallowable personal care services and establish a process that assures all personal care service providers comply with federal and state requirements. Providers must also be able to provide supporting documentation to this effect.
It is anticipated that similar OIG review audits will be forthcoming for other state Medicaid personal care provider programs and that providers should proactively review and address these areas.
Other Work Plan 2012 Focus Areas: DME, Home Health and Hospice
Both Medicare and Medicaid programs are increasing audit activities focused on community-based health care provider services billing. This includes Medicaid home health and hospice services provided, billed and paid, as well as Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and transportation services provided and billed. The continued emphasis on hospice nursing home beneficiaries impacts both skilled nursing and hospice providers. In addition the OIG is focused on compliance plans established and followed within the skilled nursing facility as well as trends in hospital admissions, followed by skilled nursing facility admissions for repeat beneficiaries. Hospice marketing practices and financial relationships are also under closer scrutiny, along with drug claims that are billed to Medicare Part D instead of being bundled into the hospice per diem rate (Dumm, 2011).

Washington produces over half of America's apples. But you can only have so many Granny Smiths before you want to turn to something a little stronger.
Like, say, cider.
Capitol Cider spreads the love of hard cider to our microbrew-obsessed city. And they're doing it with 30 taps and 100 bottles from all over the world.
This new two-level bar is housed in the former Fetherston Gallery space. The top floor is clad in dark wood and oil paintings, with restaurant-style seating. Downstairs, you'll find a classic game room with two shuffleboard tables, a fireplace, and darts.
The food offerings also have a twist. Capitol Cider's kitchen is the only completely gluten-free food preparation setup in the city, yet it churns out classic pub grub. The fish & chips battered in cider and rice flour are spectacular, and everything is made from scratch in-house, right down to the drip coffee.
If you've never delved into the world of cider, the bartenders here can get you started with a draft that'll suit your tastes. We recommend starting with a classic British bottle of Aspall before delving into local microciders from Snowdrift and Whitewood.
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Imagine what a cider a day can do.

Title: | Minor element abundances in the corona and solar wind |
Author: | Byhring, Hanne Sigrun |
Date: | 21-Oct-2011 |
Type: | Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling |
Abstract: | Using a time-dependent numerical model that spans the chromosphere, corona and solar wind, abundance variations resulting from gravitational settling in the chromosphere and corona have been studied. \noindent Gravitational settling in the chromosphere may lead to a depletion in the abundances of minor elements in the solar wind relative to the photosphere. The observed overabundance (relative to the photosphere) of elements with a first ionization potential (FIP) lower than 10~eV in the solar wind, and the underabundance of high-FIP elements such as He and Ne is a long standing problem in solar physics. In Paper~I and Paper~II, we study the significance of the magnetic flux tube expansion factor on the abundances of high-FIP elements He, Ne and O in the solar wind. With a low expansion factor, of order 15-20, we can reproduce the observed fast solar wind He abundance, but a high expansion factor, of order 40-100, is required to reproduce the observed fast solar wind Ne abundance. \noindent In the corona, gravitational settling leads to local abundance enhancements. The magnitude and location of a coronal abundance enhancement depends on the minor element heating rate and the background plasma parameters. Observations of minor element abundances in the corona, in combination with modelling, may place constraints on the minor element heating rates, thereby providing new constraints for models and theories on coronal heating. \noindent In Paper~I it is shown that, for proton-electron plasma parameters in accordance with observations from polar coronal holes, a coronal He abundance enhancement will occur in the region 1.2 - 2~$R_\odot$, where no observations of the He abundance exist. It can only be avoided by strong heating of the He ions, which leads to very high outflow velocities for both He and protons in the corona. In Paper~II we show that such high outflow velocities in the corona causes O and Ne to be pushed far out of ionization equilibrium, and leads to ion fractions for O and Ne that are not in accordance with in-situ observations in the fast solar wind. The results from Paper~I and Paper~II suggest that He abundance enhancements are common in the region above 1.2~$R_\odot$. In Paper~II we also investigate minor element abundance enhancements in the corona in a H-He background, using O as an example. We find that for O temperatures and outflow velocities in accordance with observations from coronal holes, coronal O abundance enhancements will occur at heights above 1.3~$R_\odot$. \noindent In Paper~III we study Fe elemental abundance enhancements in the slow solar wind. The results are compared to the observations of \cite{Habbaletal2007}, who found evidence of coronal density enhancements of Fe$^{+10}$ and Fe$^{+12}$, particularly along streamer edges. We show that the observations of \cite{Habbaletal2007} are consistent with an Fe elemental abundance enhancement, but owing to existing uncertainties about the plasma conditions in the source regions of the slow solar wind we cannot place any strong constraints on the coronal Fe heating rate. However, by comparing the modeled Fe ion fractions with in-situ observations in the slow solar wind we find that a background model with coronal hole-like densities and a high outflow velocity in the corona provides the best fit to observations. |

SOUTH FLORIDA, November 5, 2012 — People are judged by the company they keep. This is why President Obama is surrounded by Katy Perry, Lena Dunham, and Sandra Fluke. Forget the blind leading the blind. This is the vapid leading the vapid.
The Romney campaign has stars like Kid Rock, but they also have serious, substantive surrogates.
(Also, Kid Rock shuts up and sings. He seems like a good guy, despite his stealing my fedora look.)
In the critical state of Florida, Governor Romney brought in the big guns for several South Florida Sunday appearances. Christians have Palm Sunday, but the Jewish community and other lovers of America and Israel rallied for Palm Beach Sunday.
Governor Romney was not in attendance at these rallies, but he sent in the very best of the best. Rallies were held on Sunday at 10am in West Palm Beach, Noon in Fort Lauderdale, and 3pm in Aventura (Miami). Covering the 10am rally allowed me not to miss any National Football League games. While this may seem silly, President Obama made the mistake of holding his rally at 1pm, just when the Miami Dolphins game was starting. This lowered his turnout. The Dolphins were on the road, but people did stay home to watch the game, as was reflected in the television ratings for the game versus his speech.
Advocating for Romney were former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Palm Beach is overwhelmingly Democratic, and also heavily Jewish. Some people would consider this to be redundant, but Rudy Giuliani creates a sharp divergence. Americans know a hero when they see one, and Jews know who their friends are. Mr. Coleman is Jewish (and proud of it), and "America's Mayor" Giuliani is one of the best friends the Jews have ever had. At the West Palm Beach GOP Victory Center, Several hundred people packed inside.
Senator Coleman reminded the crowd to guard against voter fraud. If anybody understands what it is like to have an election stolen from them, it is Coleman. In 2008 he was ahead on election day, yet somehow he lost by 215 votes out of a few million cast. He passionately spoke about the need to keep the integrity of the election process.
Senator Coleman is a fine man, but even his many admirers were there to see Mayor Giuliani.
The contrast between Giuliani and his successor, Michael Bloomberg, is stark. Many of the "snowbirds" still living in New York took note of this. Mayor Giuliani turned around a failing city and rallied the nation with George W. Bush after the September 11th attacks. Mayor Bloomberg cannot keep the streets clean after a snowstorm. Bloomberg has let Staten Island and Brooklyn rot after Hurricane Sandy, and angered many by initially refusing to cancel the New York Marathon in the wake of the devastation. When people see Rudy Giuliani, the first word that comes to mind is "leadership."
Mayor Giuliani blasted the Obama administration, spending much of his time reviewing the debacle in Benghazi, Libya. He ridiculed the Obama notion of "leading from behind." The crowd cheered as Giuliani said, "It's called following."
He expressed rage at the deaths of Ambassador Stevens and a pair of Navy SEALs, and the Obama administration attempts to shroud the truth. Giuliani incredulously exclaimed that the Obama administration tiptoed gingerly and blamed a video so as not to "offend the Libyans." The crowd went wild when Giuliani thundered "I don't give a damn about offending the Libyans! I want to offend them!"
President Obama bowed before the Saudi King but repeatedly snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu. Mayor Giuliani returned a ten million dollar blood money donation from one of the Saudi princes after 9/11. The crowd knew between Obama and Giuliani which one supported Israel. The contrast could not have been more stark.
Despite the tight time schedule, Giuliani posed for pictures as best as he could. One woman with a thick accent said to him, "I am from Cuba. I love you." Then she hugged him and kissed him.
When he came near me, I said "He is in a hurry. The New York Giants came starts at one pm." He laughed, but then corrected me. "Four pm. The Giants game is four pm." My confusion (I live in Los Angeles) was the time zones. Mr. Giuliani would have to get updates on his cell phone or have the game Tivoed, because he had more rallies to attend.
After he left, within moments the entire room was back on the telephones. The goal was to make 8,000 phone calls on Sunday for Governor Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan. Several volunteers of Congressman Colonel Allen West were there, and they immediately began dialing for him. Supporters of Adam Hasner did likewise.
While the people in the room like and believe in Mitt Romney, there was no question that the right surrogates were sent as reinforcements.
Again, people are judged by the company they keep. Palm Beach knows that Rudy Giuliani and Norm Coleman stand with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
That is, as Jews say on Passover, Dayenu (sufficient).
