You can only post three and they have to be combinations of any kind of plants not closeups. Would be nice to get some ideas from all you experts and lift the gloom of impending winter. I will start with mine, although my garden is really still in very early stages.
Bulbs in spring
Forever and ever hydrangea and coleus with a snow fairy caryopteris newly planted nearby
Various coneflowers with weigela in background along with sedum purple emperor (gets 2 feet tall eventually) and rudbeckia (now replaced with helenium). Hydrangea VS in background.

Love your combos, especially the middle one - Wow! I've done this combo all over my yard this year, the yellow coleus with purple Persian shield (Strobilanthes dyerianus) and raspberry flowers. Vincas in this bed, zinnias in others. |

CMK, your Scarlet Beauty is my type of plant. Is it perennial ?. Does the campanula La Belle need staking?? Echinops , Heliopsis Asahi, Echinacea Razzamataz and daylily What Nerve! Helenium Rubinzwerg, Helenium Feuersiegel and Helianthus Loddon Gold I could not decide what should be #3 so you can choose yourself between the 2 next(heleniums, phloxes, aconitums, helianthus): |
Cmk love the phlox dianthus combo. Wieslaw, as usual your pics are a wonderful riot of colors. Third one is my favorite. The rules are three pics only people!!!!! |

We should really all try to take combo photos next season... Only had a few to choose from... Love the japanese maple with the orange asiatic lily and heliopsis; and the annabelle hydranga, nicotiana Only the Lonely, with the pop of color of daylily, asiatic lilies, heliopsis. Further down the same bed, another japanese maple, anabelle, shasta daisy Becky, geranium rozanne, daylily, asiatic lily, Only the Lonely, and heliopsis. Mix of perennials and annuals in front porch pot - love the heuchera with the yellow pansy. Hosta and sweet alyssum fill it out. wieslaw59 - love your photos - our gardening styles are similar - overflowing, joyful beds of flowers! Beth |

-wieslaw, the Dianthus is perennial. I've found this cultivar to be much more vigorous than other barbatus type Dianthus I have tried. Too bad there is such a distance between us, or I would gladly have sent you seeds ;-) Surprisingly, the 'La Belle' Campanula stays fairly upright. It doesn't set seed, but slowly spreads. I divide the clumps of it around my garden every couple of years to keep them healthy and robust. Your garden is soooo colorful and spectacular! I also love that third pic. The thread you posted a month or so ago convinced me that I didn't have enough Helenium. I was able to score a nice looking pot of 'Rubenzwerg' on the sale rack a couple weeks back. What is the red Helenium in the second to last picture, in the lower left hand corner?? Is that another 'Rubenzwerg' or another variety? Lovely. -miclino, sorry about the fourth pic. Hopefully everyone else will be better behaved than I was and only post the three pic limit! ;-) By the way, thanks for starting this post- it is so much fun!! |
I'm enjoying this thread and your lovely garden pictures. Here's my three: I like how the tanacetum compliments whatever it grows near. I planted the Firestorm daylily in front of the heliopsis for the hot colour contrast. Here's a more peaceful combo in one of my shade beds. It will need to be modified as it is already too crowded, but I liked it this year. I picked this one because it was showing the last blooms in the perennial bed; anise hyssop and phlox with monkshood in the background. |
Beth, orange and white make a great combo in my opinion. Have not tried tanacetum. Will have to look into it now. |
CMK, the red Helenium was bought with a name Indianersommer. It is a warmer red without the bluish or brownish tint. Flowers fade to orangish tawny as they age(I hope I chose the proper name for the colour -I have problems with English names for broken colours) Northerngirl, I agree with you. Our flower beds are similar. Miclino, thanks for the comment. Sorry I've cheated . |

Siberian Iris Super Ego & Pony Cythera. This is only the second year for both and hoping they will fill in more in a few years. |
- Posted by christinmk z5b eastern WA (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 13:37
-Beth, a lot of nice colors going on in your beds ;-) That Nicotiana is pretty. I recently got seeds of 'OTL' and am excited to try them out next year, especially as I hear this one has a nice scent. -north, I am really taken with that last pic. Usually I go for more contrasting color combos in the garden, but I find that phlox/aconitum/agastache pairing wonderfully vibrant and refreshing! -miclino, if you want seeds of the Tanacetum/Feverfew next year let me know. It reseeds everywhere here- usually I end up pulling a couple buckets full of it in the spring! It is a nice filler plant though... -squirejohn, what a wonderful woodland setting!! Between that and the lovely fall foliage you showed on the other forum I REALLY want to take a tour!! -wieslaw, thanks for the info. Tawny sounds like the perfect word to describe it ;-) |

Love everyone's pics so much! Found the other pic I was looking for. This is on the other side of the fence as the other pic. Both areas were grass until the first week of May. |
Enjoying all the pics! :0) |
Love seeing everyone's beautiful photos. Although trees/shrub and not a perennial combo, this combination was gorgeous in person. Sincalycalycanthus 'Hartlage Wine', Fringe Tree and Japanese Maple. |
Great pics thyme. What is the blue flower in the first pic? Tree/shrub combo pics are welcome too. I'm looking forward to some great combinations with cotinus royal smoke. Got it only after I read the thread about coppicing. Otherwise it would be too big for me. |

Wieslaw....you weren't kidding. Stunning colors. Interesting to think that you hardly ever see people use yard space like that in the US. Mostly its lawn space with garden beds spread around it. Do you leave pathways between the plants when you garden? |
miclino ,I have only pathways between the various flower beds. Here is a view from the first floor. There is also a pathway behind the big bed in the background.You can see a piece of it here, behind the tall helianthus and the monarda. There is also a pathway to the chicken house and the green house here: I'm standing at the coop when I'm taking this picture: |

Hi everyone, I am inspired by your pictures! My 3 pics are part of 1 large combo, all perennial here. They are ordinary flowers that outperformed in an extraordinary way during the hottest, driest summer in recent memory. 7/6/11 #1: Echinacea purpurea (tall wildflower & shorter 'Magnus') & Ruellia brittoniana (2 different sizes in pink). 6/8/11 #2: Echie wildflower & a young Princess Diana clematis (a texensis hybrid so it is used to Texas size heat). 10/23/11 #3: R. brittoniana dwarf Katie's pink & Cuphea hyssopifolia Mexican heather, which have both been blooming since June and are still going strong. Echies are finished by now. |

Canterbury bells, veronica, with pinkish chives showing in background Lavender, geranium Rozanne, and green sedum in background Butterfly weed, Stella d'Oro daylily, larkspur and drumstick allium |
Prairie love, is it Allium Purple Sensation that is blooming in your circular bed? Mantis, I'm just so jealous of your Asclepias tuberosa. I just can't keep this plant alive through the winter. |
Some great pics posted. Love the circular bed in the driveway. Also the pic of the Asclepias. I lost one already but plan to try again next year. |
- Posted by prairie_love z3/4 ND (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 16:15
wieslaw - yes miclino - thank you there are so many gorgeous photos in this thread - we need to reactivate it toward the end of winter so we can all plan for next spring. |
- Posted by mantis__oh z6 OH (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 11 at 21:48
The key to growing the asclepias is well-drained soil. That said, it is a common weed here along the roadside; so it's not all that particular. When I moved here, it was a delight to see this native. |

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures! I am getting ready to do some fall planting and this has me inspired. to North53-could you tell me the names of the plants in your shade picture? Is that an ostrich fern in the right hand corner? What is the lovely yellow spiky flower? It is so hot here that I have planted trees everywhere so I dont have a lot of direct sun. You shouldnt complain about shade when it is over 100 degrees for three months but..I am always looking for new ferns, plants etc. Thank you so much. |
My goodness, everyone has such a neat garden! What's up with that? Even the wild ones are neat! Thank goodness I didn't take any photos because I wouldn't post them anyway, lol. My gardens are way too messy. What wonderful photos! Even though I have a new-found appreciation for hot, bold colors, my heart still belongs to those pink/purple combos. I especially loved christinmk's salvia/campanula combo (gorgeous!), all of mantis' and franeli's pics, and for something a little different (for me!) thyme2dig's daylily and rudbeckia combo - love the way the rudbeckias pick up the yellow throat of the daylilies. Wow, thanks for sharing everyone. Prairie Love is right - we will need to resurrect this thread in about three months for inspiration! Dee |

Pretty much any sit-down restaurant where you have a server/waitress or bartender you should be leaving a tip/gratuity for their service that customarily ranges from 18%-20% but obviously it depends on the service and/or if you required any extra attention. But it can also vary if you are just having drinks at a bar the same 18%-20% is suggested with a usual $1 minimum per drink especially if you're going somewhere for happy hour where they might have half price or 2 for 1 drinks.

The Launch of Roadcasting
Pittsburgh - Jun 23, 2005 - Touted as collaborative, mobile radio, Roadcasting allows each listener to have his own radio station, broadcast among wireless-capable devices. The system can become aware of individual preferences and is able to choose songs and podcasts that listeners want to hear on their own devices from sources around them.
The developers state that a listener can scan and access playlists from other vehicles within a 50km range and share his audio files with the same network. The service uses a long-range peer-to-peer wireless network in which each car is its own radio station. The prototype runs on an 802.11g wireless network.
Currently a prototype, the system was designed to provide a community-driven, interactive medium. The prototype is the result of a seven-month project at the Carnegie Mellon Human Computer Interaction Institute. The project was funded by a major automaker and has a targeted release of 2010.
Roadcasting uses a listener's preferences to make decisions about what a listener might want to hear. The system can read Itunes XML and MP3 data to gather information.
For use in a car, a Roadcaster will need an in-dash interface unit and an antenna. As an added feature, drivers can share information about road conditions and emergencies through the network.
The source code for Roadcasting is available to encourage development. More information is available at www.roadcasting.org.

National Deaf Poker Tour at the Venetian, Las Vegas
Venetian, Las Vegas – The summer ended with Michael Watson, an online poker enthusiast won over a million dollar at the 2008 World Series Tour Bellagio Cup IV. This ends World Series of Poker until it opens again in November.
However, the Poker world is not going to be inactive until November. James Rydstrom, founding member of the National Deaf Poker Tour is running its final leg at the Venetian this weekend.
Being a founding member of the tour, Rydstrom claims that deaf people wants to have a deaf-only poker tournament. It decision comes from their difficulty in playing against non-deaf players, because it is hard for them to follow what is being said in the table. Putting them at a disadvantageous position during the game.
Thus, the National Deaf Poker Tour in Las Vegas this weekend was really welcome for about 136 deaf players that joined. The Venetian hosted this event. Venetian in Las Vegas is the choice for the last leg of the tour four-stop tour.
Top winners are Matthew Erickson and Jonathan Collins; they split the first and second place prize money. They received over $5,700 each.
If the National Deaf Poker Tour can host a deaf-only poker tournament, then non-deaf players may likewise develop the skill necessary to win in poker.
Thus, if you want to understand poker better, you will need to practice. Practice playing poker against friends. You may elevate your poker learning by playing online. Online Poker is a good practice arena where you may learn the ropes of Poker easily. Do you remember Michael Watson? He played many online poker games and even won World Series from playing online.
When you finally gather all you strength and thinks that you can already face poker masters in a brick and mortar casino, you can do so.
All you need is a budget to play with. Do not go to a casino with all your hard-earned money on hand. Set a budget and play only within that budget. The key is to enjoy gaming and not loose all you have.

Each middle and high school allows the youth football program to use their football fields free of charge which greatly adds to the success of the season. These schools and their recreational facilities are a tremendous community asset and have a major impact upon the quality of life in Bradley County.
Nineteen teams participated in our local league this year. The 7/8 year-old division was won by the Seminoles coached by Todd Duggan. The 9/10 year-old division was won by the Ravens coached by Justin Carpenter.
The football season was a great success thanks to the support of the schools that hosted the games. The addition of lights to the stadiums at Cleveland Middle and Lake Forest Middle schools helped make this year's schedule much easier to manage. Congratulations to the winners and all the teams for their good sportsmanship and fair play.
As the season for the youth football league ended, the Parks and Recreation Department turned its attention to the Bradley County Youth Basketball season which is now under way. Sixty-six teams will participate in this program this season which will end in February. More than 1,000 kids will participate in the basketball and cheerleading programs.
I want to thank the parents for encouraging their children to take advantage of team sports in Bradley County. As mayor, I also want to express my appreciation to the hundreds of volunteers who support the county's sports programs with their time and energy.
We are fortunate to have a Parks and Rec staff capable of providing professional, safe recreational programs and facilities for Bradley County citizens. Director Paul Wyrick and his staff maintain more than 200 acres of recreation facilities. However, without the support of the many volunteers the staff's job would be very difficult.
In addition to overseeing the many team sports opportunities available through the Bradley County Parks and Recreation Department, Paul and his staff must oversee maintenance and upkeep at our recreation facilities while continually planning ahead for the next team sport.
Recently, they worked with Amanda Whitley from the county's Stormwater Division to plant more than 400 trees and shrubs at Elrod Park on Minnis Road. This was an important step in getting the new park ready for sporting activities in the near future. The tree planting was part of wetland mitigation mandated by TDEC for the park and Minnis Road widening project. The two-day planting project also involved several student volunteers from local schools.
Several other improvements to our sports facilities have been made in recent weeks. The dugouts at the field for the 11/12 year- olds have been completed at the County Recreational Park and the dugouts at the softball complex have been painted. The department also installed power service to the scoreboard at the Charleston football stadium. All outdoor facilities have been winterized by the department and the staff continues to service the scoreboards for the local schools to ensure they are working properly for the basketball season.
For more information about any of the team sports programs, you may contact the Recreation Department at 728-7035 or visit the county website at www.bradleyco.net.
The Parks and Recreation Department is another reason I say that Bradley County is Tennessee at its best.

Our August swap is underway right now. All partners have been selected and notified. Now we are just waiting to make sure everyone contacts their partner so that the swaps can begin. Our boxes should be sent out by August 24.
If you are interested in participating in another MNF swap, Dan will be hosting the September swap. So, if you were thinking about joining us in August but were unable to, hang in there for the September swap. Thanks! Gladys |

Gladys, thanks for the plug for the September swap! LOL! I was going to wait until this weekend to post it, but since the August swaps partners have been announced (still waiting to hear from Ellie...), and you've given that great plug, I'll go ahead and post it. Yet again, it's name has changed, but this'll be the last time it does. I'm going to call it the Migratory Perennial Swap, and you all will just have to check it out to see why! LOL! Later! -Dan |
Great job Gladys but I thought I would repost the list so you do not have to refer back to the old thread. The other note is that Holly said she had sent her box to Carol so the swap has begun. So, here is the list. (Its my first time to do this and I double checked to make sure I didn't leave anyone off.) Margo sends to Laura Email your partner to introduce yourself, tell your partner a little about yourself and be sure to give your partner your mailing address. You should mail your box by August 24 and be sure to post the delivery confirmation # (DC) here. And then when you receive your box, please tell us about the creative "A" items that your partner sent you. I hope we continue to have fun. Now Laura, I hate to reward you for throwing such a two year old tantrum but I hate to see you suffer so! |

I have not heard from Lisa but I did not send her a message until a short time ago. I was a bit confused and contacted Cindy since that was the address I needed. Hopefully I will hear from Lisa soon. |

I received an e-mail from Ellie this morning. Her timing was perfect! We're getting rained on right now, which will water the plants I'm sending her. Don't you just love when a plan comes together? -Dan |
I also have not hear from Lisa. I've sent her a message. I surely hope everything is ok with her. Dan, we had some of that rain too. Everything is so green now which is a nice change from all the brown we had in July. How is everyone doing? |
We sure could use some of that rain here. I am tired of watering. We started out with a wet spring and lately we have been warm and dry. We had so much hot weather, some of my plants didn't make it despite being three years old. Life is good, especially when I realize each day that my decision to quit work is one of the best decisions I have ever made. While two other girls and I worked all day to get ready for our big hunting ad, my manager sat in the office. He has done nothing in the last week and really rarely does. We are short an assistant manager so other stores have been sending management to help out. They have been getting whole departments straightened up. I just can't figure out how upper management lets this go on. He does not know how to manage a store. Now that I have vented, I can tell you I have contacted Diana and Laura has contacted me so we are ready to roll out the boxes. Hope everyone has fun with this exchange. Margo |
It is dry everywhere, I am going to start a rain dance soon. Of course we will have fun, we always do. Congratulations on your unemployment. I was working with the census and yesterday was my last day also. I am so happy, work is very much overrated. diene |

Diene, when you do that rain dance, where do you wear the feathers? I've heard that it's best to wear them braided into your hair, but I think that's just an opinion. And, what kind of music do you play while doing that dance? ***imagining Diene cavorting around a bonfire, feathers flying...lol!!!*** |

Dan, I emailed you yesterday. If you didn't get it, I will email again tomorrow from work. Sorry about that, but usually email's that don't go through at work come back right away so we know their is something wrong with the address. Ellie |

Ellie, I did indeed receive your e-mail, thank you! You put a lot of information in it too...kewl! I'll be getting some boxes from work today to send out some swaps on Monday, so I'll be doing some digging on Sunday after the rains have passed us by and watered the plants for me. Don't you just love when Ma Nature lends a hand? Even my coneflowers were beginning to look wilted, but not anymore! Everything is perking right up! |

I wished it would rain in this area. It has been hot and dry for a month now and no matter how much water is used, the plants still look a little under par. The garden didn't produce anything, but the cool wet spring we had was great for the berries. Getting tons of strawberries, raspberries and the blackberries are just about ready. Will have to buy another freezer this weekend to put all the black berries...the other one if full. Well off to work I go...glad its Friday! Have a wonderful day everyone. Ellie |

today we've been preparing for possible tornadoes tonight, ain't it cool! I love it when it's bad weather!!! |
Margo, its great to vent! It sounds like you definitely did the right thing. Ellie, you are sooo lucky to have a freezer full of berries. I have black raspberries but the season is so short. I only have enough plants for one or two pies but boy are they delicious! Diene, your rain dance worked for us! Have you gotten rain yet? Has everyone heard from their partner? I've not heard from Lisa. I've emailed her twice. Ellie, any luck? |

digging days for my box today and found some have underground name tags so partner some will have names. hugs ladies and Dan |
Hello Gladys et al; I am not home so I do not know about rain but I think not. Guess what all, I was in a store today and saw Tastykakes for sale. I did not buy them but before I leave I plan on it. Right now I am in Lancaster, PA which is really God's country. The fields are green and there are farms everywhere. Today I had to go pick DH up at the Philly airport, that was not as fun, traffic down here is awful. Makes me glad I live where I do. I have not heard from Lisa either and she is my partner so we shall see. I will let you know if I hear from her or get a package. Cindy, I did not get a box out before I left so it will ship on Monday, sorry for the delay but hopefully we will get rain and so the plants will fare better. Have a wonderful night all. diene |
Lisa, Lisa where are you? Getting ready to go to the tomato gathering today. My daughter will be driving here from her home on the eastern shore of MD. Its a great way to sample different tomato tastes and plan for next years garden. Diene, Tastykakes are amazing aren't they? I love regional food. Are you going to have chicken corn soup while you are in Lancaster? That is one of my favorite summer memories. Enjoy the weekend all! |
Hey Dan, hope all is ok with you. I got a call from my mom and she lives just north of Detroit in St. Clair Shores and she at that time, she had been out of power for 24 hours. She is on oxygen and fortunately doesn't need it too bad and still has spare filled tanks but you have to wonder about others with health issues. Poor mom was sitting in the dark with a flashlight all by herself. She mentioned that the 45 mile an hour winds were the problem. I know what you mean about having storms around. Kind of exciting until they are right above you :/ We had some nasty stuff a couple weeks ago and after the storm went right over, it turned into a tornado five miles east of us. I contacted Diana but have not heard back from her. However, I am doing the happy dance because rain is headed this way. That will give the plants a good drink before I start digging. Luck is also with me because I am off on Tuesday so my plan is to package up on Monday night and mail bright and early Tuesday. I have everything I need and I hope Laura enjoys everything. Have a good weekend everyone and happy gardening. Margo |

I have not heard from Sherri and planned to dig tomorrow. I need her address. Are you out there Sherri? We have rain this morning finally...but this is my yard working weekend. Suppose to have carpel tunnel surgery in 2 weeks and have lots to do outside since my working in the yard will be over for the year or at least I have been told by the surgeon. Ellie |
Just got back from some last minute shopping for your box Margo. Watered all my plant areas yesterday, so I will gather plants on Sunday. I should have your box in the mail on Monday! It is a little cooler today so I'm hoping to get some more work done today. I weeded at 8:00 last night, really beautiful sunset and a nice breeze to go with it! Of course I had to follow that with a nice drink on the patio. Have a great weekend! Diana |

Those storms last night were absolutely positively fantastic! Fortunately there weren't any tornadoes in my area, but the light show was phenomenal! Stella hid beneath the bedcovers, the poor thing! But Bump took it all in stride, knowing he was inside and that I would take care of him. Sometimes I'm humbled in his trust in me, and sometimes it is a source of strength. All the plants in the area are looking so refreshed today, and I'm loving it. All my errands are done, and my 6-day work week is finished, so I'm home relaxing, enjoying the fact that I don't have to be anywhere, or do anything, until Monday morning. Tonight I can stay up as late as I wish, and hopefully Stella will allow me to sleep in tomorrow. Or maybe I'll go to bed early tonight, and still sleep in tomorrow! Who knows? All I know is, I don't have to make any decisions for the next 36+ hours, and I'm loving it! The one thing I do know about tomorrow is that I'll be getting out and digging up some plants for Ellie, and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it... (grin) |
My dance is over and it was a successful day for rain here. Now my flowers and vegies are doing a happy dance. For the first time in a couple of weeks, I did not have to go out and water. Glad all you had was a light show Dan and hope you have a great sleep in. |
Hi all.. I'm here Ellie I replied to your email from the other morning..Glads said you had not heard from me..Soo I emailed you at work this morn ( sat)..Hope you got it..We have had rain all week this week..My plants are very happy..Had turned my spare bath into a hot house but was not workin out so well so I planted everything I had in there today and topped them all with plastic jugs, so now they all have there own lil hot houses..

OHHHH I am sooo sorry! Lightening struck our house and blew up my internet box! I just got internet back. yeahhhhh I will get my box out asap Gladys Melissa Johnson |
Melissa (sorry for calling you Lisa!), When lightning struck your house, I hope it was ONLY your internet that was affected. Is everything ok? Now that you are back on line, I just want to remind you that you will be sending to Diene. I will be sending to you. My daughter's friend is visiting us from England and I think she brought us lots of English weather...not as cold as it is there but lots of rain. My garden is happy but its starting to feel fall-like. I hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend. |

Hello all, My goal is to get everything dug and packed today for shipping. Apologies if I'm a bit MIA from the boards though, as it has gotten wonderfully crazy with design commissions here! One is in the finishing stage, one is in the works, and three are just starting up with planning and working with the clients. PHEW! I really need to invest in a better arts computer program than this one from 1997... its practically obsolete! At least it does everything I need. Happy Monday, ~Laura |

Ellie, your delivery confirmation number is 9405 5036 9930 0323 3755 49, and it'll go into the mail tomorrow when I get to work. I wanted to put it together and mail your box this morning, but the wine I had last night with dinner said otherwise...lol! -Dan |
- Posted by farmergirl2009 5 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 23, 10 at 23:36
The box to Sherri was mailed today. The confirmation # IS 0309 1140 0001 6763 8803 Dan, you forgot to share that wine or did you put some in my box...he he! This is the first time I have ever mailed any plants so hoping they do ok. It has cooled off here at night alot but still gets close to 80 during the day but it is a different warmth...kinda like fall. Not quite ready for fall though. Ellie |
I just got back from dropping off my box to Laura and the DC is 0496 9007 8120 4705 9436. It should be there by Thursday since it doesn't have far to go. Margo |
Talk about under the wire, my box went out today. DC is 9405503699300323826560, not that I have much faith in that. I do not find that helps at all but it is easy to do when you print postage on line. Hope everything survives. I wish I had been better organized or had more time but life seems to be a bit hectic now. I was really feeling stressed this morning as I had a full day and did not think I would have time to dig or pack. Hope you enjoy Cindy. diene |
Diene, I agree - I also wish I were more organized or had more time. Although I am hosting this, I found it really difficult to put a lot of "A" seeds in. I surely hope my plants survive the trip to Melissa's place. I can't wait to hear about how this worked for everyone! Melissa, your DC # is03093220000153031419 |
I mailed my box to Margo today number 9405503699300324053064. I also received my box too! I must admit the chocolate that was enclosed in the box was immediately consumed! Yummy! I also received a really cute rooster plate and some pretty floral napkins. There were packets of seeds including snapdragon, blue lupine, green apple columbine, and cow parsley. I also had plants including black lily, sergentae lily, blue lupine, and yellow allium. Thank you so much Kathie for all of the time and effort you put into the box. Thanks! Diana |

I got hens and chicks, columbine,sedium, allium,iris,aleovera,wandering jew,and spider plants. ziplock bags full of them.. And a very sweet card..I love them THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ELLIE..I know you were worried but they all made it alive..Off to do some planting.. Sherri |
Boy am I glad I shipped my box yesterday, the weather here has been dismal at best. Rain (which we desparately need), cold (which I do not mind) and dreary (which I do mind). It has also been quite windy and the ocean is wild. I just had an outing I was looking forward to cancelled due to high seas. Oh well, at least my box is heading south. |
Its great that people are getting such good things in their boxes. Sherri - I bet you are hooked now! |

Can't wait to see what they will look like next spring. Several packets of seeds none of which I have. astilibe which I also don't have, anothe small plant which I don't recognize have to find out what it is.

Hello everyone. Apologies, but I seem to be running a few days behind! I'm off to the garden right now to do some more digging, and I hope you think it is worth the wait. ~Laura |

Wow!!!!!!!!!! I got my box today and boy was it packed to the top with lots of goodies. I truly do not know where to start o.k here it goes....Thanks Diene Abundant Iris Seeds Astilbe (white) I truly can not wait to use all of my Arbonne products. also face care product.. Thanks again |
Hello Cindy; The "animal head" is really Chelome which is also called "turtleheads" because their flowers look like turtleheads but to keep with the theme, I took some license as with some of the other flowers. Hope you enjoy and they do well for you. Arbonne is botanically based so it also fit the theme. Glad you liked everything. diene |
Received my box today from Diana. In there I found Lavender plant All have been soaked and happily planted. Also inside was apple ginger tea mix I also received an assortment of seeds. Thank you Diana for a box well done. I will enjoy the plants for years to come. |

Hello all. My outgoing box will fly tomorrow but in the meantime I received a wonderful box from Margo today stuffed with goodies! Here goes: Assorted Seeds, about 10 different kinds Thank you for the wonderfulness, Margo. All of the plants are happily in the dirt adjusting to their new homes, and the bulbs will probably go in tomorrow. |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Thu, Aug 26, 10 at 23:04
I received a fantastic box from Sherri today. Inside were an assortment of healthy plants with no names, though I think there were amaryllis in there. I like the fact that they weren't named, it'll be cool to see them bloom next summer and enjoy the mystery in the meantime! Sherri also sent a nice array of seeds, which I'll enjoy researching to find out more about. She also sent some figurines for the garden, and a nice green welcome sign, all of which will add some great touches to the garden. YAYYYY, AND THANK YOU SHERRI!!! You made my day today! -Dan |
- Posted by farmergirl2009 5 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 26, 10 at 23:18
I received my box from Dan today and there was lamb's ear, mint, purple lilac bush, yarrow and some assorted trees. Also several packages of seeds and a bulb which I will be sure to mark so that I can see what it will be in the spring. BUT ALSO my favorite candy bar (Almond Joy). I have everything sitting in some water for tonight. We are in the middle of a huge dust storm and also the smoke of a huge fire to the west of us. Thank you so very much Dan. Ellie |
I received my box from Cindy. Thank you so much. How did you know I love Almond Joys? The box was packed with plants - Asparagus Fern, Asiaticum Crinum,Agastache "golden jubilee" and pray hand hosta. They are all soaking now so that they can be planted. Seeds included Alyssum, African Daisy, Ascelepias Syriacs, Alcea Rosea Hollyhock. You did a great job with all those A's...I had a lot trouble finding so many. There was a wonderful bottle of Aloe Vera liquid soap. An adorable set of plant feet (my deck thanks you!) and a cute 2 tier hanging bell - it has a very sweet ring to it. |

My box flew out today, DC# 9405 5036 9930 0327 3007 83. Again, sorry for the delay but I hope you think it is worth the wait. Duncan and I will be at his family reunion this weekend, then Monday he leaves for Graduate School in California. *sigh* At least I'll be keeping busy with school starting and a friend from Canada visiting this week. Lots going on! ~Laura |
I forgot to mention that all the plants were neatly tucked into a felt watering can - so cute! Thanks again, Cindy! gladys |

One of the plants Sherri sent was a rabbits foot fern, and she's helped me find out that I can safely grow it indoors and that it won't harm the cats. Sherri also helped me find the aspca site, which lists a long list of house plants which are cat-safe, so I'll be getting back to my indoor farming again, beginning with my lucky rabbits foot. Thanks again Sherri! -Dan |
Laura, Its great you have so much going on to keep your mind off Duncan going to California. Maybe you can get a good air fare there this year. Rabbits foot fern sounds pretty interesting, Sherri and Dan. My pepper plants are really giving me some beauties now. I went to the state fair today and wished I had entered some of my peppers. I received some really interesting ones in the tomato and pepper swap last year. I heartily recommend that one if you are into tomatoes and peppers. Still waiting to hear from Melissa. I hope her electricity is back to normal. g |

Has everyone received their package? I still have not heard from Melissa and I know Diene did not receive her package from her. I do not know if Melissa received mine but it definitely was delivered. I am disappointed :( |

Cindy, Thank you for participating. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as you did. Thank you to everyone who posted and participated. It was great fun to host and I look forward to participating in more swaps. Dan's September swap sounds like lots of fun. I love the conversations he has going on. I can't participate this time with so many personal things occupying me right now but I surely hope everyone has a good time. Thanks again, everyone! |

Pianomania follows Knüpfer as he globe-trots, offering his expertise to other celebrated keyboardists, like Lang Lang (who does a snatch of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody), with their varied personalities and idiosyncrasies.
One of the major joys of documentaries is how, through their detailed observation, one can become fascinated by the most arcane subjects. Surprisingly rare are the docs which can only be recommended to the specific cognoscenti working in the fields they cover. Unfortunately, Pianomania is in the latter category, as only real classical piano geeks will find it wholly absorbing and not deadly dry. We see a lot of puttering and tinkering around the insides of pianos by Knüpfer, but don't hear enough actual music, which you'd think would be the ultimate, gratifying reward for both viewer and Knüpfer himself. Knüpfer is also kind of a problem, as he is anything but a magnetic protagonist, although there is one funny account of a ball of dust being discovered in a concert piano after many years by a horrified assistant, who is only told to quickly replace it to exactly where it was.
Yes, Knüpfer's knowledge of and sensitivity in his métier is impressive, but it's simply not very cinematically rewarding. There's also little suspense, as you just know with his single-minded perfectionist's intensity he will indeed find the right music box for Aimard. After an hour or so of watching him burrowing into concert hall basements, fiddling with pianos, conferring with other oh-so-serious musicologists and being told that "the piano movers in Melbourne are not particularly organized," tenor Ian Bostridge's magnificent voice dulcetly performing a Brahms piece comes like lyrical manna from heaven. But there's just not enough of it.

This Danny Garcon portrait series features dramatic and conceptual imagery that depicts a dark definition of its angelic subjects. The visionary photographer captures fresh-faced models Leonid and Jacob G of Elite Toronto as they pose inside a dimly lit studio setting.
The models are captured shirtless while wearing only a range of eccentrically sculptural headwear accessories. These dramatic headpieces are showcased in an all-black palette and boast unconventional forms that are enhanced with a tactile feathered texture.
These striking and cinematic Danny Garcon portraits evoke a dark visual concept that defies one's expectations. Embracing an unconventional translation of common beauty ideals, this ethereal and gender bending fashion story goes against the grain and pushes the boundaries of a traditional image editorial concept.

Blood Sport: 2.4, Arena patch
V'Ming - who thinks that gnome warlocks are travesties of nature and need to be KOSed - shares thoughts and ideas on becoming deadlier at the Arenas. He also dabbles in the dark arts in Blood Pact.
This progressive patch is turning out to be quite an event in itself. We are seeing some pretty important changes in every PTR build and the community is watching every change with bated breath. One thing's for certain though: many of the changes are Arena-driven, as Blizzard tries to get the PvP aspect of the game in gear for the 3v3 tournament.

The drama engulfing Community Board 9 continued at its October meeting Tuesday night in Richmond Hill, as an attempt to send the board into the personnel-related second executive session in four months was thwarted in part by the very member they may be seeking to remove.
Longtime board member Sam Esposito is accused of making bigoted remarks to two board members. The situation led to the board's Executive Committee to call for an executive session — a closed-door meeting of the board — allegedly to propose removing Esposito from the board. The session was scheduled for the end of the meeting after the board dealt with its regular business, including liquor license hearings, votes on the Ozone Park rezoning plan and City Line pedestrian plazas and a hearing on the proposal to turn the Richmond Hill Republican Club include a catering hall.
CB 9 Chairman Jim Coccovillo would not confirm Tuesday night's executive session concerned Esposito after Esposito sought to make a motion to not go into executive session when the item came up on the agenda, saying only that he would not know what the discussion would be about.
"I urge the board to vote no on going into executive session," Esposito said. "It's about me and removing me from the board."
His comment was the first public admission that the "personnel issue" CB 9 had been dealing with for the past month was about Esposito, who said he was being targeted because of his unequivocal support for embattled District Manager Mary Ann Carey, whom the board attempted to fire in June.
"Maybe they want to get rid of me because they want to fire [Carey]," Esposito said on Wednesday. "I am going to protect Mary Ann. I mean, there's a woman's life at stake here. Mary Ann has done so much for the community and she doesn't get the recognition she deserves."
At least two CB 9 sources say Esposito's potential removal is due to an accusation that he made anti-Semitic remarks about two unidentified members of the board. Esposito did not address the allegations.
At Tuesday's meeting, board member Nick Comaianni motioned to table the discussion until the November meeting — and put it earlier on the agenda — because it was nearly 11 p.m. when the executive session would have been called.
"I don't want to be here past midnight," he said.
The board approved his motion and will hold an executive session after the public hearings at the November meeting.
Earlier in the evening, Esposito and Coccovillo butted heads for the second meeting in a row on board procedure. Last month, Esposito sought to introduce discussion on Carey's probationary status. This month, he sought to open discussion on issues Coccovillo ruled were unrelated to the topics on the agenda. Both cases ended with shouting matches between Esposito and the board's chairman.
Esposito said the board has not been this divided since it fought over a planned conversion of 87th Street in Woodhaven from two ways to one way in 2000. That debate, which lasted almost three years, caused a rift on the board. Supporters say the street, which is narrow, was accident prone, while opponents argued it would affect the FDNY, who have an engine house on the block. The supporters won, but the debate got personal, according to a former board member.
Esposito expressed certainty that the board would not remove him nor would they fire Carey, suggesting the support for ousting both him and Carey came from only a dozen board members.
"She's going to stay district manager. She is going to retire on her own terms." Esposito said. "You can take it to the bank."
Recently, regular arguments and debates that get carried away at monthly meetings have become staples of the board itself. Some board members expressed frustration at the constant bickering that goes on during meetings.
"It's becoming a free for all at every meeting," said one CB 9 member who did not want to be identified. "It really makes us look completely dysfunctional."
Sylvia Hack, chairwoman of the board's Land Use Committee, suggested the board should consider meeting earlier since meetings tend to run so late.

Carnage might be one of our ones to watch in 2013, but he's definitely not the only one out there putting that trap sound on big room bombs. Toronto native Psychic Type took W&W and Ummet Ozcan's single "The Code" and just made this into a hard-hitting jam just in time for festival season.
After seeing the teaser online, Psychic Type knew "that it would make an amazing trap song" and with the help of the program Audiohijack Pro he was on his way to making the remix himself. 48 hours later, the remix was released and it immediately caught the attention of Hardwell's Revealed Recordings. "They were clearly scouting to see if anyone was doing anything with 'The Code,' and they said they were interested in releasing it, I just needed to take down the download."
So after pirating the song and putting his own touches, Psychic Type was given the opportunity that millions dream of: "They gave me a few weeks to make a better version with the stems which was amazing. The official release was like a mind-blowing 'big break.'" Damn straight it was! The remix premiered last week as the final track on Hardwell's podcast and according to Psychic Type, it's "spawned an even bigger opportunity." We don't know what that is, but we'll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled.

The NIDA International Program held a series of webinars this spring to help participants of the 16th NIDA International Forum prepare their poster and oral presentations.
- Powerful Poster Presentations used draft posters from 2011 Forum participants to demonstrate how a well-designed scientific poster can help researchers communicate effectively with colleagues by selecting information that attracts viewers to the poster, organizing the contents for maximum clarity, using text and illustrations to enhance the poster, and making professional connections at the poster session.
- Scientifically Speaking: How To Prepare an Effective Presentation helped oral presenters describe complex concepts and data concisely, structure the presentation for maximum clarity, use images effectively, prepare titles that attract attention, and begin and end the presentation smoothly.
The webinars were recorded and are available on the Professional Development Webinars section of the NIDA International Program Web site.

In December Military Times surveyed more than 5,900 active duty service members, retirees and spouses on their use of the commissary. Only five percent of those who took the survey indicated that the commissary was not a priority to them. Of the 2,100 active-duty members who responded, 65 percent shopped weekly at the commissary and 3 out of 4 spend more than half of their grocery budget at the commissary. This shows tremendous use of the benefit and demonstrates cuts or changes would significantly affect service members and families.
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) released the results of a price comparison study. The study compared identical products at big-box and other grocery stores and confirmed the Commissary saves its patrons an average of more than 30%. Prior surveys showed an average cost savings of more than 31%, but this year the survey included dollar stores, club stores, drug stores, and discount department stores as well as traditional grocery stores.
Lastly, don't forget the application period for the 2014 Scholarships for Military Children Program is open until February 28, 2014. Each commissary location will award at least one scholarship of $2,000 to qualified applicants. Make sure the applicant is enrolled in DEERS and has an ID card.
Until military families are relieved of the weight of war, we hope you will continue to contribute to their wellbeing.

The PurpleBook Baby - ReviewThe PurpleBook Baby & Maternity Edition, by Hillary Mendelsohn describes itself as the definitive guide to exceptional online shopping. The heart of the book is its short, concise reviews of 350 websites offering products and services for mothers-to-be, infants and toddlers. The site reviews are arrange alphabetically by URL. Each entry contains the basic information youll need in order to determine if a particular site will meet your needs. Short descriptions which average about 100 words describe each site and their products. Below the reviews are easy to understand icons which provide vital information about each site with a glance. The icons indicate shipping costs, if the site offers gift certificates, gift wrapping service, the user-friendliness of the site and if the site offers a registry service. There are also icons which indicate specific types of product categories: Infants, Gifts, Maternity, Personalized, Supersite and Toddler. Once you learn the meaning of each icon it will only take a moment to determine if a site will meet your needs. Opening the book and glancing at the icons under the entry for BabyGiftIdea.com, it takes me less than 15 seconds to determine that the site is considered standard when it comes to user friendliness. They offer standard shipping based on weight and overnight shipping is an option. They also provide a gift wrapping service, a gift registry and sell gift certificates. The baby icons tell me that they offer personalized gifts for infants. If youre looking for a specific product you can refer to one of the 3 Indexes. The first Index is alphabetized and divided into product categories and sub-categories of everything from baby blankets to rocking chairs. The second Index helps you locate items by keywords such as All Natural, Keepsakes and Baby Proofing. The final Index is an alphabetical list of companies and their web addresses. You can spend hours using search engines in your quest for the "right" baby site, or you can pick up a copy of Thepuplebook baby and within minutes locate baby & maternity websites that have exactly what you need. If you're searching for a gift for a mother to be or are expecting and looking for guidance on what to buy, ThePurplebook Baby should be on your list of must have books.

Paula Abdul may be part of the past now, but we have no doubt that American Idol hopefuls will step up and provide the crazy when Season 9 begins on Tuesday.
But before the singing starts anew, let's look back at some of the most captivating -- and calamitous -- auditions of the past eight years, with commentary provided by Idol Chatter readers and USA TODAY staff.
Season 7
Having watched Idol from day one, I saw a few in the beginning ... however, I stopped watching the auditions after awhile because it became too painful to see such buffoonery. Unfortunately, I missed some good ones in the process, but saw them later on thanks to the internet. I have to say some of my favorite auditions were Chris Daughtry, Paris Bennett, Elliott Yamin, Mandisa....heck, most of Season 5! LOL! Gotta say I also loved David Cook's audition for Season 7, although the red faux-hawk and argyle sweater vest had me scratching my head ...
- Submitted by LMR2020
Season 5
Chris Daughtry because he had a great voice but appeared to have no confidence. Hence Simon didn't like him.
- Submitted by AEvangelista
Season 2
Frenchie Davis remains the only contestant that received a standing ovation from at least two judges after her original city audition. I don't think anyone else received that before or after her. It was too bad the producers axed her two weeks before she was to sing in the Top 32.

Season 6
I actually started watching season 6 so Jordin's is my most memorable and Carly was my fave from S7 in the beginning before I caught Arch Madness lol.
- Submitted by Clarkson_Is_Life
The black guy with the really low voice that sang Let My People Go, a couple of years ago. Everyone at work for the next few weeks was singing that song ... funny stuff.
- Submitted by Idol Watcher
I do remember enjoying Paris Bennett's audition, but I'm glad for the link to see it again. This time around, after noticing Simon's change of heart, I'm thinking of Paris as a little Susan Boyle (in the way that she got to Simon)! ha ha

Hellraiser ... Renaldo Lapuz!!!! With all the feathers and a chorus of "my brothers". Brilliant!!!
- Submitted by VegasGal90
Keith's "Like A Virgin" and that guy who sang Let My People Go. That was a riot!!!

Season 8
Simon Cowell knew what was up the second Nick "Norman Gentle" Mitchell bounded into the audition room in his shiny shirt and red headband -- the camera caught him turning away and rolling his eyes. But the other judges found Gentle/Mitchell amusing, and he he had a voice that was just good enough to make people wonder if he could drop the antics and surprise people by playing it straight (he couldn't). Actually, Gentle/Mitchell's audition wouldn't have been so memorable except that Idol wouldn't let viewers forget him. First, they sent him to Hollywood and let him flirt with success. Then, they brought him back for the finale and let him hump the show's logo.
- By Brian Mansfield, Idol Chatter blogger
Simon Cowell has traditionally been accused of having a mean streak -- but no more so than when Seattle's Kenneth Briggs auditioned in Season 6. The judge mocked not only his performance but also his wide-faced, large-eyed appearance, comparing his looks to a "bush baby." The cruel comment drew intense fire from fans, but also launched Briggs on a mini-career arc of his own, with talk show stints and guest appearances.
- By Bruce Schwartz, TV editor
After eight seasons watching hordes of hapless hopefuls bludgeoning the classics, they all just start to blend together. Setting oneself apart is a growing challenge, so by Season 8, it's no wonder that Katrina Darrell, aka Bikini Girl, decided to make an impression by flaunting her, ahem, assets. Her voice was decent enough to get by the judges (except Kara, whose talons came out during Katrina's audition), but does anyone remember what she sang? Neither do we.
- By Korina Lopez, Music online producer
Ambition (or desperation) knows no bounds. Tatiana Del Toro demonstrated that admirably as she whimpered, begged and pleaded her way through her audition. Wearing a skintight dress (half-animal print, half-tutu) that was as split as her personality, she handed the judges her portfolio that included a DVD and a risque photo of her in a corset before launching into a shaky version of Never Loved a Man by Aretha Franklin. Her flair for drama and her high-pitched cackle pulled her through, but not her "talent."

Many of our nation's best innovations were born in the minds of entrepreneurs. In fact, large corporations have long acknowledged-even mimicked-the innovative spirit that's alive and well in smaller companies. Just ask Jack Gordon, 52, who blazed new trails with AcuPoll, a company he started specifically to help clients innovate. The Cincinnati-based market research firm predicts whether a new product will be a triumph or a turkey, whether an ad campaign becomes a favorite or quickly forgotten. Clients have ranged from The Coca-Cola Company and Pepsi-Co Inc. to NASCAR and Procter & Gamble. Some of the products AcuPoll has had a hand in developing include the Oral-B Indicator toothbrush, Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and Bioré's deep-cleansing pore strips.
Through it all, Gordon has come to learn a thing or two about innovation. When he first started the company in 1990, market research wasn't what it is today. "Companies that wanted to innovate would come up with three or four ideas," recalls Gordon. "And this was at a time when 80 to 85 percent of the products being introduced were failing in the marketplace."
So Gordon's company, which has offices worldwide and just under 100 employees, devised a way to test-market 40 ideas at once-10 times the number clients were typically bringing in-and to compile and analyze the data for the client within seven days, versus the typical six to eight weeks. Now, AcuPoll brings in $10 million in annual revenues.
Why are small businesses so successful at innovation? They're usually close enough to their employees to ask for help in coming up with ideas, says Alan G. Robinson, co-author of Corporate Creativity and the just-released Ideas Are Free, both from Berrett-Koehler Publishers. With a system to seek out innovation, such as funneling creativity from employees, Robinson says, "the odds become a reality."
Of course, part of the trick of understanding innovation is to know when you see it. As Gordon tells his clients, while the market has to be there, "you also [need] something new and different. Let's say you have a new detergent, and it goes against Tide. When it comes time for the consumer to give up their Tide and pick up your product, why would they? You need something extra." Fortunately for many U.S. companies and consumers that want to be on the edge of innovation, AcuPoll has exactly that: something extra.
Get ready to celebrate with the SBA.
Your spouse or significant other probably won't send a card. Your parents probably won't call. Your friends aren't likely to take you out to dinner or to a movie. As a whole, the country never seems to really notice the 41-year-old holiday known as National Small Business Week the way they do Christmas, Thanksgiving and even Arbor Day. But no matter. The SBA obviously cares, because it's throwing its annual party in Orlando, Florida, at the Orange County Convention Center from May 19 to 21. Those interested in attending should visit www.sba.gov/50 or call (202) 205-8414. And if you can't make up your mind until the last minute, you can register the day of the event, provided it isn't sold out. Prices are $325 before April 17, $350 between April 18 and April 30, and $400 after that. The three-day extravaganza will include a business expo, a business matchmaking event, business seminars, a town hall meeting, and award ceremonies honoring women entrepreneurs as well as state and national small-business winners.

text: How to Trim the PentagonAnd Create a Flexible, World-Class Military We put together our own plan to slim down the budget of the U.S. military, shrink the deficit, and come out of it with a fighting force that's more nimble than before. By Joe Pappalardo Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 5 2. PREP TO FIGHT 1.5 WARS President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta are arguing for an end to the postCold War standard of maintaining a military that can fight two major ground wars at the same time. Secretaries of defense under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush tried to do the same thing and failed. We agree that it's time to end that baseline of preparation. In the current environment, fighting one ground war while conducting sustained airstrikes and special operations missions in another theater is enough. RECOMMENDATIONS: Trim active-duty Army personnel from 570,000 to 450,000. Easing back from two-war preparation diminishes demand for ground forces. Our cuts go deeper than those expected from Panetta, mostly because adopting sea basing (below) reduces the need for land facilities. Unlike the White House, we would preserve the Marine Corps at current strength. FINANCIAL IMPACT: About $30 billion saved over 10 years. Delay/cancel next-gen ground vehicles. The Army's inventory of ground vehicles, swollen from recent conflicts, is sufficient. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Delaying the Ground Combat Vehicle program saves $7 billion and canceling the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, $10.9 billion. Use some of the savings to upgrade Bradley Fighting Vehicles and up-armored Humvees.
