Stylesetters' Favorite Summer Escapes
Stylesetters pick their favorite summer vacation spots
By Elle Decor Staff
• Fashion designer and New York City native Norma Kamali roots for the home team: "People are religious about baseball, and Yankee Stadium is the most honored cathedral," she says. "Nothing is better for the spirit than to cheer and scream and jump up with 50,000 other fans."
• Cameron Silver, of vintage boutique Decades, raves about Montecito, California: "My favorite hotel is San Ysidro Ranch, where JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy honeymooned. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me."
• Designer India Hicks heads to Alys Beach, a pristine, family-friendly spot along Florida's Gulf Coast: "It's peaceful, far from the madding crowd, and involves no jet lag! And there's plenty for kids to do."
• Los Angeles designer Trina Turk opts for Whidbey Island, near the San Juan Islands and Seattle: "We like to pick wild blackberries, wander along the rocky beaches strewn with driftwood, and kayak Puget Sound."
• Modern-design auctioneer Richard Wright, a Maine native, chooses idyllic Boothbay Harbor: "I've introduced my children to scavenger hunts in the woods, rock climbing, and, of course, the proper way to eat a lobster."

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 At about this time Jeroboam's son Abijah came down sick. | 1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, |
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Do something. Disguise yourself so no one will know you are the queen and go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet lives there, the same Ahijah who told me I'd be king over this people. | 2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, "Go, disguise yourself, so you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet is there--the one who told me I would be king over this people. |
3 Take along ten loaves of bread, some sweet rolls, and a jug of honey. Make a visit to him and he'll tell you what's going on with our boy." | 3 Take ten loaves of bread with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy." |
4 Jeroboam's wife did as she was told; she went straight to Shiloh and to Ahijah's house. Ahijah was an old man at this time, and blind, | 4 So Jeroboam's wife did what he said and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age. |
5 but God had warned Ahijah, "Jeroboam's wife is on her way to consult with you regarding her sick son; tell her this and this and this." | 5 But the LORD had told Ahijah, "Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else." |
6 Ahijah heard her come through the door and said, "Welcome, wife of Jeroboam! But why the deception? I've got bad news for you. | 6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense? I have been sent to you with bad news. |
7 Go and deliver this message I received firsthand from God, the God of Israel, to Jeroboam: I raised you up from obscurity and made you the leader of my people Israel. | 7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I raised you up from among the people and made you a leader over my people Israel. |
8 I ripped the kingdom from the hands of David's family and gave it to you, but you weren't at all like my servant David who did what I told him and lived from his undivided heart, pleasing me. | 8 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, but you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes. |
9 Instead you've set a new record in works of evil by making alien gods - tin gods! Pushing me aside and turning your back - you've made me mighty angry. | 9 You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have provoked me to anger and thrust me behind your back. |
10 "And I'll not put up with it: I'm bringing doom on the household of Jeroboam, killing the lot of them right down to the last male wretch in Israel, whether slave or free. They've become nothing but garbage and I'm getting rid of them. | 10 " 'Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel--slave or free. I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone. |
11 The ones who die in the city will be eaten by stray dogs; the ones who die out in the country will be eaten by carrion crows. God's decree! | 11 Dogs will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country. The LORD has spoken!' |
12 "And that's it. Go on home - the minute you step foot in town, the boy will die. | 12 "As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. |
13 Everyone will come to his burial, mourning his death. He is the only one in Jeroboam's family who will get a decent burial; he's the only one for whom God, the God of Israel, has a good word to say. | 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the LORD, the God of Israel, has found anything good. |
14 "Then God will appoint a king over Israel who will wipe out Jeroboam's family, wipe them right off the map - doomsday for Jeroboam! | 14 "The LORD will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Yes, even now. |
15 He will hit Israel hard, as a storm slaps reeds about; he'll pull them up by the roots from this good land of their inheritance, weeding them out, and then scatter them to the four winds. And why? Because they made God so angry with Asherah sex-and-religion shrines. | 15 And the LORD will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their forefathers and scatter them beyond the River, because they provoked the LORD to anger by making Asherah poles. |
16 He'll wash his hands of Israel because of Jeroboam's sins, which have led Israel into a life of sin." | 16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit." |
17 Jeroboam's wife left and went home to Tirzah. The moment she stepped through the door, the boy died. | 17 Then Jeroboam's wife got up and left and went to Tirzah. As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died. |
18 They buried him and everyone mourned his death, just as God had said through his servant the prophet Ahijah. | 18 They buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, as the LORD had said through his servant the prophet Ahijah. |
19 The rest of Jeroboam's life, the wars he fought and the way he ruled, is written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. | 19 The other events of Jeroboam's reign, his wars and how he ruled, are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel. |
20 He ruled for twenty-two years. He died and was buried with his ancestors. Nadab his son was king after him. | 20 He reigned for twenty-two years and then rested with his fathers. And Nadab his son succeeded him as king. |
21 Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he took the throne and was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city God selected from all the tribes of Israel for the worship of his Name. Rehoboam's mother was Naamah, an Ammonite. | 21 Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. |
22 Judah was openly wicked before God, making him very angry. They set new records in sin, surpassing anything their ancestors had done. | 22 Judah did evil in the eyes of the LORD. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger more than their fathers had done. |
23 They built Asherah sex-and-religion shrines and set up sacred stones all over the place - on hills, under trees, wherever you looked. | 23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree. |
24 Worse, they had male sacred prostitutes, polluting the country outrageously - all the stuff that God had gotten rid of when he brought Israel into the land. | 24 There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. |
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's rule, Shishak king of Egypt made war against Jerusalem. | 25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. |
26 He plundered The Temple of God and the royal palace of their treasures, cleaned them out - even the gold shields that Solomon had made. | 26 He carried off the treasures of the temple of the LORD and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made. |
27 King Rehoboam replaced them with bronze shields and outfitted the royal palace guards with them. | 27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. |
28 Whenever the king went to God's Temple, the guards carried the shields but always returned them to the guardroom. | 28 Whenever the king went to the LORD's temple, the guards bore the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom. |
29 The rest of Rehoboam's life, what he said and did, is all written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. | 29 As for the other events of Rehoboam's reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? |
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam the whole time. | 30 There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. |
31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His mother was Naamah, an Ammonite. His son Abijah ruled after him. | 31 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. And Abijah his son succeeded him as king. |

I think it'd be really hot if a guy's ass smelled like sandalwood, or patchouli, or nag champa!
This is dirty, but really horny. I like making a guy bend over and spread his cheeks so I can smell the hole.
These posts make me so hot...more stories! Why aren't there websites out there to satisfy this fetish?
I started fantasizing about smelling a guy's ass after sniffing a hot friend's undies in his bathroom... yum! And after that, seeing Eminem flash his hot ass everywhere ughh! I just wanted to know what his hot bubble butt smelled like!
Nowadays, my #1 ass smelling fantasy is Tom Welling!
The guy I used to date was really insistent on keeping his ass clean, much to my annoyance...in fact, more than once he didn't let me rim him because he felt too "dirty" (too bad I was embarrassed to tell him that it turned me on). One time I saw skid marked underwear in his laundry and I couldn't believe what I was missing!
I love to lie down and have a guy squat his musky hole over my nose & mouth for sniffing & servicing.
I`ve had enough issues with getting my face in a clean ass. How the f$%k do you get off from a filthy one??
i'd eat it out!
Yes, i love it....including my own ass hole smell. I also try to smell the ass of my friends when they are sleeping.
Played stink finger yesterday with a guy who came on to me in the sauna. Just lightly rubbed his pucker, but had a powerful funky male aroma on my finger to savor for hours later. I invited him over to sit on my nose for a J/O scene. I want to lick his balls with my nose up his asshole.
Man I REALLY wish these people who have a problem with the idea of people getting off on smelly ass would STOP coming to this thread and posting their negative comments. If you don't like that sort of thing then just stop coming to this thread and leave those of us who DO like it ALONE !!.
My top 5 guys whose asses I wanna smell are:
1) Tom Welling
2) Milo Ventimiglia
3) John Cena
4) John Krasinski
5) Shia LaBeouf
What about you asslovers??
I'd say: Josh Duhamel, Kal Penn, Jason Biggs, Jared Padalecki, Jamie Oliver (UK tv chef), Robbie Williams, Colin Farrell. (Okay, more than five, but who can choose?)
And hadn't thought of John Krasinski...nice! A seemingly clean-cut guy, but... ;-).
omg --- some of the comments ---- lmao!
I have such a sensitive nose and I can't stand the smell of ass!
to each his own i guess.
that Krasinski dude is adorable...
Owain Yeoman who plays Rigsby on The Mentalist - I'd sniff his ass!
Ew no. When I fuck a guy he's gotta be clean. No smelly anything for me. Except musky balls.
There's no better scent than that of a MAN.
I love the smell of warm sweat soaked balls, the faint odor of underware with the final drips of piss and the full wiff of a day old buttcrack !!!
Bring it ON !!!
Guess what? There's no such thing as a clean asshole. The whole area is dirty by default and nothing gets it clean.
Most of the squeamishness about sniffing or eating ass is just that. Squeamishness. Of course a doctor will tell you it's nasty and you might get sick but I've never known anyone who got sick from eating ass unless the person whose ass they ate was sick at the time.
If you don't like it or it grosses you out, that's one thing. "Cleanliness", OTOH, is just an illusion. It's a shithole. If you even touch it, you're touching something dirty.
High Fives Random Dude
My top 5:
1) Cristiano Ronaldo
2) Josh Duhamel
3) Chris Evans
4) James Marsden
5) Hugh Jackman
I could rim and smell those asses all day long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I love sniffing its the best forget poppers ass and cock stink are the best
ass and cock stink is even better with poppers!
^ The poppers thing? Ehhhh, you can have that. But I always thought I was a freak with the stinkfinger thing.
Do you think it's mainly a gay/bi thing or do you think it's a universal kink for people who just love ass? I realize some gays/bis think it's nasty (obviously) but I don't think I could get anyone who professes to be straight to admit to getting off on sniffing ass stink.
ooh, i got too much stuff on my mind to go around wondering what different groups of people get off on. i know my turn ons, and i´m happy talking to, or meeting, other persons that i find attractive who are into the same...
straight guys can be turned on by whatever, if you ask me, as long as they´re having fun and get what they want i am happy for them.
I went drinking with some friends two Saturdays ago during the day. About 5:00 pm, I picked up this guy. He was hot. He hadn't shaved, and he had been drinking most of the day also (We were in the French Quarter in New Orleans). We were both a little ripe since we had been enjoing the weather, partying outside most of the day. When we got back to the hotel room, the first thing he did was to walk into the bathroom to "clean up." I stopped him and pulled him out of the bathroom. Guys, when we stripped and I saw his furry, unshaved ass, I went crazy b/c I knew that hair was going to make his ass musky as hell. But, when he laid back on his stomach, and I spread his furry ass cheeks, his ass was even better than I imagined. It smelled incredible. Only like a long day of not showering could make it. It was also a little "slimy". You know what I mean, sweat mixed with ass funk. The best was that he got so turned on by my eating his funky ass, and kept he telling me to lick his dirty ass, and to clean his hole for him. I can't remember a hotter time rimming a ripe hole.
^^ MMMm a fuckin hot story! wish it was me!!
I never really got the whole "ass sniffing" thing until six months ago. I was in a trashy strip bar in Chicago. I hadn't really spent much time in them so I was a bit nervous. They don't have such "naughty" things in Utah.
There were a few cute guys up dancing. Then one came out in a jock strap and I thought "damn that's hot". All inhibitions aside I jumped up and went to give him a buck. This boy knew what he was doing. I got a damn good show for that dollar. I even got to run my finger down his crack before sitting down. When I got back to the table I absently put my hands up to my face. I immediately got a whiff of man stink from my finger. I pulled my hand away in disgust. Then for some crazy reason I brought my hand back up to my nose, just to confirm thats what I was smelling. Sure enough. Only this time I started to feel my self get a bit hard. I kept smelling my finger as nonchalantly as possible until the smell started to fade.
Then it became like a drug for me. I kept returning to his stage brandishing my ones, and each time managing to get my finger in his crack enough to refuel. The first time I went up I was so nervous i hadn't realized how moist and "slippery" his ass was. But on the second, third and fourth visits, I was certainly aware of his funk and I was I was possessed.
I finally got up enough courage to offer him a $20 if he would stand up, and back his ass up to my face and let me smell his ripe butt first hand. He was very hesitant, but finally gave in. He even pushed back hard enough, my nose rubbed across his hole and I even managed to get a little taste before he pulled away. I was stunned, I nearly came in my pants right then and there. I immediately rushed off to the bathroom and with my finger to my nose and licking my lips, I pulled out my cock and blew my load.
Ever since I've been obsessed with sweaty dirty butts. My own included. I take every chance I get to sniff, finger and lick a ripe ass. I'm afraid I may have become addicted. Do they have a 12 step program for this?
Ass isnt suposed to smell of lavender water!
They are supposed to be musky and smelly, thats the best part!
i love the smell of ass!...oh man the thought of burying my face in a guys sweaty ass and taking a big whiff makes me so hard...i also enjoy fingering myself after a day without a shower and smellin the slightly musky hole smell....mmmmm
^^ be my guest! you can have him all to yourself. me, i think he looks like one of the caracters of Lord of the rings... :S
...LOL @ Pervhead....You need to stop...Tom Welling is a Handsome dude..I havent seen any pics of those Buns of his..

Filtered News v2
- Detalles
- Creado en Miércoles, 28 Enero 2009 06:00
Filtered News latest version provides the same method to customize your content layouts as our Global News 2. It consists of an HTML supported textarea where you can decide where and how to display every single element you need, using the following special codes:
- FN_title: it calls the article's (linkable) title.
- FN_image: renders the resizable first image found. You can choose "left" or "right" align from the params.
- FN_date: the article's created or modified date, according to your preference.
- FN_text: the shortened intro (& full) text.
- FN_readmore: the custom "Read More..." link.
- FN_comments: the also linkable comments information. It requieres you to specify the comments database table and the name of it's `article id` column. It has been tested only with !JommlaComment (#__comment, contentid) and JomComment (#__jomcomment, contentid).
Except for FN_image, all these elements come with no HTML tags so you can use your own, for example:

FN_title
 FN_image

FN_date

FN_text FN_readmore
 (FN_comments)
If you have ever used the Match Meta Keywords option, you may have noticed that for some artiles there might be no "related items " to list, so the module will show only the title. To avoid this, you can use the new "advanced" parameter for an Alternate Title which will show only if the module is not empty, and of course, disable the default Module Title

Apr 12th 2008 9:15PM I guess you didn't read the follow up, the one character that was allowed thr transfer was moved back because of the no transfer deal from PvE to PvP. Even though it was an insider they didn't get to keep the transfer , no favorites there at all.

I have a modest orchid collection of a little over 100 plants of all kinds.(especially the catts... whether fragrant, spotted, blue, floofy, etc...) I learn new bits and pieces of orchid information as time permits.
I have redone my front and back yard space with numerous hummingbird-friendly plants. I really find great satisfaction and peace from gardening.
Another passion is birdwatching.....especially hummingbirds. Nature is amazing......... I'm hooked for life!!

Hi there,
I have two raised beds near to my screened-in porch that I filled with tulips, daffodils, muscari, and pansies. The bulbs are dying back, and the pansies have gotten leggy & are clearly past their prime. I want to pull up the dying pansies and replant the beds so that they look fresh & attractive. I'm also hoping to attract the local hummingbirds close to the porch so that I can enjoy watching them (and so that my cats, who are indoors only, can maintain a few fantasies of their own). So, here are my questions: 1. Once I pull up the dying pansies, should I also lift the bulbs since I live in zone 7B, or would it be better to leave them where they are? If I leave them, is it safe to cut back the dying foliage yet? I know that the longer they can absorb the nutrients from the sun the better the flower production will be next year, but the foliage is looking pretty sad... Also, refrigeration may be an issue, since I don't currently have a spare fridge & also routinely store vegetables & fruit in my refrigerator. Space is also an issue in the fridge. 2. I intend to keep planting bulbs in my raised beds. Each of the raised beds is 1' deep x 4' wide x 4' long. Since I will be planting my bulbs in the beds (or keeping them there, depending on your recommendations), should I try planting perennials on top or should I stick with annuals? 3. What perennials/annuals would you recommend for the hummingbird enthusiast? I already have a number of petunias planted in hanging baskets along my porch, along with some portulaca & convolvus. I already have pineapple sage, bee balm, and dianthus growing my yard. I am currently sprouting more portulaca, cardinal flower/cypress vine, and butterfly weed. Thanks for the advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not a bulb [ ;-) ] - Abutilon in a basket could be a nectar-lover's joy, if our local nectar-sippers are any indication. They flower nearly as long as petunia and you can keep them going over the seasons by taking cuttings. Interesting colour range - and could 'echo' summer gladiolus, if you planned on planting any. |

Customer Reviews
- Recent design changes Review by Mike H
Overall Rating Out Of 5 I recently bought my 8th (or was it 9th) pair of Kiwi trousers (on line this time) and, on arrival, I noticed that the belt loops are now single, not double as before, heel tape has been added and the belt design had changed, all three of whch are, for me, an improvement. The one down side is that the pockets are now shallower than they were. One of the most useful features of the Kiwis was that you could stuff all sorts of things into the pockets - now you can't. PLEASE revert to the original depth! Having said that, there's still nothing to touch them!!!

- The Best Walking and all round everyday trousers on the Market ! Review by Bluetractor
Overall Rating Out Of 5 I have been buying Craghoppers kiwi trousers for years now, I have lost count of the number of pairs I have bought !
They are so comfortable, will dry very quickly, they needed to in Lanzarote !, we got caught out by very heavy rain without our 'wet weather gear' !.
The number of pockets are especially useful with the zips to make sure that you do not lose valuable items !
Overall i would definately say they are the Best Trousers of their kind available !(Posted on 01/08/2014)

The National Museum of Women in the Arts is one of my favorite DC venues. It's so elegant and unique to the city. Ali and Rob were married last month and held their reception at the Women's Museum. It was such a beautiful backdrop for their very chic Washington, DC wedding! Tony, with Imijination Photo, sent me a few shots of the space and our fun candy "garden." Stay tuned for photos of the adorable couple!

Ken Nye
A knock at the door, late morning. The dog makes a racket, but the two stand their ground. They are on God's business.
I know before I open the door what they have to say—that God is the answer. I pull the door open, try to be pleasant, (but, please, don't talk too long). Two women, earnest, polite, sincere. (There is a message simply in their manner.)
They ask if I am worried about where the world is headed. I answer, yes, I am. They ask me if I read the Bible. I answer, no, I don't. They ask if I believe in God. I answer, yes, I do.
And then I become infused with the same spirit that brought them to my door. I say that I believe there is only one God, worshipped in many ways, called by many names. I say that the God they worship and the god I worship are they same God. They doubt that might be true.
They say if I am worried about the future of the world, there are answers in the Bible. I say there are answers in the Koran, the Bagava Gita, the poems of Whitman. God, I say, is the god of all and the word of God, therefore, is found in many places. There is no language that God does not speak.
They say people should turn to God to solve the problems of the world instead of turning to "man." I say that God works through man, that the problems of the world can be solved only by "man," BUT only if God wants them solved. They read me something from the Bible.
Then it dawns on me: I am doing what they came to do; we are saying different things but the same things; God called them to my door, just as God called me to speak instead of ushering them on their way.
After the door is closed, I reflect: There are people in the world who bring their beliefs to other people's doors with guns and machetes in their hands. These two gentle souls shared their hearts and listened to me.
Wouldn't the world be Eden itself if we Christians and Muslims, Jews and Pentecostals, Catholics and Orthodox, all went door to door from time to time and had conversations like this?
"Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall inherit the Kingdom of God."
Oh, that we realize the door to God's kingdom is the one upon which visitors knock.

my sister is getting married in early october and we are having the reception here at my parents' house in arlignton...
i have been put in charge of making the backyard a place of beauty for the reception, instead of an overgrown mess... but i need help!!! i don't even know so much what blooms here in early october besides mums and whatnot...can people tell me?? it is october 6th, so should be before frost... also, i went a bought some plants yesterday at merrifield, but it was so expensive, the amount that i got can in no way fill the yard... so i am looking for: anyone with plants that they have extra of that they are willing to give away (anything that flowers in the fall, and/or just looks really nice and/or anythng edible)... or... so ideas on where to get cheaper plants, or where i could dig up more wild plants that might be good... PLEASE HELP ME and respond asap!!!! thanks!! rebecca |
Follow-Up Postings:
Go for the greenery and let the flowers be an accent instead of the whole show. What is in the 'overgrown mess'? Maybe judicious pruning will provide a base. You aren't going to be able to plant a variety flowers now to be in bloom then, so expect to have most of the blossoming plants in pots - and it's true that mums, asters, and rudbeckia are the primary fall flowers. Even an ugly nursery pot can be successfully hidden by wrapping with florist's foil and a big bow stuck on front. A pot of bright blooms here and there will be more impressive than a flower bed full. How many people will be in how much space? Don't forget to leave enough room for them to walk past each other. You (or whoever) might consider renting a tent or tents -- that would help whether it's sunny or rainy on the big day. It also defines the area; ribbons, bunting, balloons, and bouquets of greenery (surrounding just one or two blooms) decorate easily and quickly. Food/drink is best managed buffet-style in a separate area; either a separate tent or in a room that has at least 2 different entrances. Additional [rented or borrowed] lawn chairs should be set around in groups of 3 or 5. All the tents, chairs and paths mean less area to formally 'decorate', so concentrate on having a usable walking surface; lots of bows with streamers for tent poles, steps, doorways, chairs, flower pots, table corners, and to attach to the helium balloons. Limit actual flowers to a table centrepiece, in the bow-and-streamer bouquets hither-and-yon, and in pots for each side of doors and gates, and just few pots set beside some of the 5-chair groupings. Sit down and plan on paper what you want and then list -in very detailed steps- what needs to be done so you can have what you want. Re-write the list with dates - pruning should be done now, while a freshly-mown lawn is required the day preceding. Tents need to be reserved now, mostly they are set up the day preceding (ah, get the lawn mowed before then!); bows can be made now, bunting is hung the night before; and so on. You'll likely find that some things require a lot help and some things just take a lot of time. But that's what a list is for -so that you can find out *now* how to get everything ready on time. |

Listen to Meldy! While you're at it, consider renting a floor for at least the food/eating area. This means you won't have to do anything at all to the lawn, and your guests won't sink up to their ankles in mud if it rains. Have a look at this past Thursday's Washington POST, and the New York Times of the same day. There's a Home & Garden section in both papers, and there was an article about what to do to cheaply and easily jazz up your garden. (Do it in the next day or two and you can look at their websites for the article, for free.) Essentially, you cut down everything that is dead or past its prime, and spread mulch at the front of the beds to make them tidy. Do you know where the Sterling Costco is? It is on Cascades Parkway just south of Rt. 7 in Sterling. If you drive south down Cascade Parkway past Costco, on the right is a teeny street named Marie Drive. Go down Marie. It is paved only for a couple blocks and then becomes gravel. On the left is a greenhouse/garden center. I am convinced it is the place that the supermarkets buy their bedding plants from, because they are cheap. There is hardly ever any staff and the people you do find don't know very much, but you could load up on plants cheap. I would bring a big car the weekend before the ceremony, and buy a load of whatever is in bloom that will go with the color scheme of the wedding. (White mums, probably.) Then plant them all at the FRONT of beds, or set the pots in decorative places (windowsills?). Find out before you leave whether they will be needing plants for centerpieces on the tables. Don't try to get a whole bunch of different stuff. Sameness is easier! See if you can get them to agree to give you a discount for buying a lot. Brenda |

Just a thought: My husband and I were married in the fall in the mountains of Virginia. We decorated with mums, pumpkins, gourds and apples. We used small pumpkins as candleholders and centerpeices. A local nursery with connections to the church let us borrow mums and large pumpkins. Maybe you can find a farm connection where you can get more bulk items for your money. Good luck. |

What are the self publishing costs for a book? The costs can vary, but I have been able to publish my books with no upfront costs. Find our more in my article below about the cost of self publishing.
If you are anything like me, you want to know the easiest and most cost effective way to publish your book. As I began researching different self publishing companies, I realized that there were several options I could choose from that ranged anywhere from no upfront costs to thousands of dollars.
Wow! I knew I didn't have thousands of dollars in the bank to spend on publishing my book, but I quickly found out it was possible to get published with no upfront costs with the fairly new technology of print on demand publishers!
As I discuss in my article about self publishing, you can choose from the traditional self publishing companies or print on demand self publishing companies. Typically the print on demand self publishing will be cheaper, especially if you do most everything yourself, like I did. However, if do you have the money to spend, it will be worthwhile to research the traditonal self publishing options to see which is right for you. If you aren't sure which option you'd like to choose, read more here: About Self Publishing
Most self publishing companies use the Lightning Source to print and ship their books. Generally, this will cost around $0.015 per page and $0.90 per standard paperback cover. Knowing this tidbit of information, the base cost of printing a book, is very valuable and will help you in deciding which self publishing company to use. For a 190 page book, the base printing cost would equal about $3.75.
Therefore, if the production costs for a 190 page book are around $3.75-$4.30 (15% markup) you know you're getting a fair deal. Watch out for publishing companies that mark up their "production costs" with hidden fees.
So far, I have found Createspace to be the most affordable.
They use their own printers and I have been satisfied with the quality of the printing. If you want to know they type of quality printing you will get from a self publishing company, simply order one of their current books and see for yourself.Let me use my first book as an example. I use the company, Createspace to publish my books. They are owned by Amazon.com and are a print on demand company, which simply means that as copies of my book are ordered, they are printed. Therefore, there is no inventory which then means lower costs for everyone.
My first book I published in 2008, 190 pages softcover...
Item | Cost |
I wrote, edited and designed the book template in Microsoft Word | = $0 |
I designed the bookcover in Adobe Photoshop myself | = $0 |
I uploaded and submitted my files to Createspace myself | = $0 |
Createspace gave me an ISBN number for free | = $0 |
I ordered a proof copy of my book | $3.13 plus shipping |
Createspace listed my book in Amazon.com for free | = $0 |
Createspace gave me a webpage to sell my book for free | = $0 |
It was simply my time + the cost of ordering my first proof copy at my discounted cost of $3.13 which is even less
than the typical printing cost of $3.75. Overall, with shipping included, my cost equaled less than $7 total. Now that's a deal!!
And, on top of that, I could have sold my proof copy at retail price to actually come out ahead.
I know what some of you are probably thinking...you realize that your time is valuable. And it is! For some of you, it will be easier to hire someone to design your book template and your book cover, edit your book or upload your files to Createspace. However, if you are willing to learn, you can realistically self publish your book with no upfront costs!! Are you ready to get started??

I noticed an old thread comparing two nurseries had been brought back up but a discussion about potted versus bare root fruit trees had spun away from the original subject. Thought this might be a good topic title for ordering time. Here's my quick assessment. Obviously, bare roots need to be planted when dormant- that is their main disadvantage over potted material. Generally they establish better than potted trees unless the potted trees are planted when dormant and you can pull curling roots straight and spread into native soil. If a potted tree has spent little time in any given pot and moved to larger containers before roots circle around in the pot it can be planted any time and will probably do great, but this is not the real world in the nursery business. Voles do like to make a home out of potting mix as it is easy digging and tends to stay drier than surrounding soil. Shipping bare root material is ecologically superior because of the reduced weight and energy consumption and carbon emissions of transport, and value is generally much better with bare root trees. The discussion gets more complicated when you talk about baring age fruit trees but most in this forum order whips or feathered one year trees anyway. |

I think it would be relative to your situation. I dont think bare root trees would work for me personally, because ive never seen them available (online) when I can plant them. Im assuming this is because they arent dormant by the time I can get them in the ground. I would also assume that potted trees would mean less root disturbance, unless like you mentioned they are severely pot bound. I guess it would depend on the tree/type of root system (ie shape, taproot or type of rootstock) |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness FL (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 8:48
I much prefer bare root. |
Typically I get bare root fruit/nut trees. That's what a local (4 hrs. away) nursery sells and ships. Order and plant only from Jan - Mar down here. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 9:27
CP, lots of nurseries keep their BR stock in cold storage until shipping, but when I order from west coast nurseries here, stock is budding out when it arrives but trees grow just great anyway- actually better than deeply dormant trees that may take 3 weeks to begin growth. Nurseries in your zone should have stock completely dormant to ship when you need to plant. Actually, small trees in pots are often just bare root trees where much of the rootsystem is removed to fit in a 5 gallon pot and sold when first leafing out. I believe BR's are far superior if this is the method. |
I prefer bareroot trees. Mine usually arrive in a very dormant stage and most take a month to 'wake up' and start leafing out. I did buy one peach that was potted and the roots were wound in circles around the inside of the pot. I pruned the roots to straighten out the mess and planted the tree in the ground. It took and it has been fine, but when 'bareroot' trees arrive (from good sources), the tree has just enough 'root power' to get going as their root systems are very uncomplicated. It is remembering to prune the top of the tree to match your root pruning that seems important. Most potted trees in my local nurseries are leafed out with fruit! Do you leave those trees in their pots until after fruiting, then plant them? Mrs. G |

These pots are fertilized like crazy and can support some fruit. I would take them off then plant right away,..you be farther ahead come fall. Agree with HM,..I love bare root trees. |
Bare root is clearly better than potted if planted dormant in winter or spring depending on your area. The nurseries pot up their trees so they don't lose them if not sold by spring. This does allow planting after bare root season. But for the experienced grower that is only a special situation option. Planting potted trees during bare root season doesn't make sense. Trees in pots do only one thing, develop an inferior root system. The longer in a pot the worse the root system gets. |
- Posted by macmanmatty2 8b (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 14:01
I prefer a potted bare root. This combines the best of both methods and is what I sell during the dormant months. I take a bench graft from bareroot rootstock I made put it in to a 3-5 gallon pot to grow for the season and then when it goes dormant take to the dec-feb farmers market to sell. This way you have many of the fine feeder roots and get a better tree much quicker and cutting the tree back is really not needed. I rarely have any roots circle the pot doing this way except sometimes on the larger seedling pear rootstock. But if you can't find this bareroot is usually better than potted as most potted trees are just bareroots stuck in soil. |

Thanks HM Im in a unique situation where there arent many local nurseries to fill the void here. I do know they do breed trees, but as far as I know they are potted (to be honest ive never CHECKED). The trees ive gotten one was burlaped (so "bareroot"), one was potted (toka plum) and one was potted but looked as you described (roots cut up to fit the pot). There is only one place that I know of that would have plants available when i need them, and that is TT seeds in manitoba. Nothing wrong with them or against them at all, i just havnt ordered from them yet. I would assume their trees are bareroot, as they are sent as 3 foot plants. I do have to take a good look at the nurseries that are around here, but the local ones usually have a lack of good stock for my tastes. So i guess i lied when i said i cant get bareroot lol. I just have never seen the one/2 year old whips/feather trees available here. The other places (besides tt) are in places too warm (toronto is 3 zones warmer than me). Again i think it depends on your sitiation. IF you can get dormant bareroot trees before things really get growing, and the ground is unfrozen than bareroot is your way. If youre in a sitiation like me, you basically have to get what is available. I will say out of the 3 big trees I planted, the Toka plum (potted) established the fastest, grew lusher in its first year, and was overall less shocked than the Pear (burlaped) and apple (ill say summer planted bareroot in soil). |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 8:36
A warmer zone is not necessarily a problem. Because fruit trees are usually on clonal rootstock and, if not, on a seedling of a clone trees will be just as well acclimated to your conditions as a local nursery. Most larger nurseries have refrigeration, so your trees should arrive in fine shape for planting in your zone if the nursery is willing to hold off shipping as I'm sure some in Canada will. Here only most southern nurseries tend to refuse late shipping. |
- Posted by fabaceae_native (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 16:31
A unique situation that nobody has mentioned so far has to do with the big box stores. Probably none of you source your fruit trees from these places, but sometimes you can find a good deal on exactly what you want... My local Lowes and Home Depot stores typically get a shipment or two of bareroot fruit trees in late winter. Some sell out, but most dry up and die in the store, which of course is too warm to keep them dormant anyway. If you grab one the day they arrive in the store there is a chance of survival, but after that, it's a crapshoot. Since these bareroot trees are not much, if any, cheaper than the similar size potted trees that come in a bit later, I choose the potted ones hands down. Yes, you can always return a tree that dies, but don't expect to find the same thing outside of the season you first bought it... |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 20:00
Home Depot is notorious for selling mislabeled material. Fruit trees are too much work to risk being stuck with a variety you don't want after years of nurture. |
- Posted by ca_cherry_grower (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 22:55
I have done both in my commercial cherry orchard. I order extra bareroot trees and pot the extra ones I don't need the following fall, The potted ones I planted the following fall grew much better than most of the bare root trees planted at that winter. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 13 at 1:43
Yeah...potting them up first right away, [warmer] will grow faster,..but not needed, unless you want to get ahead a month or more. I've done this many times, like raspberries, cherries, pears etc. then transplant later in the year. Perhaps our long very cold winters with the ground cold for a long time makes it even more worth the effort. |
- Posted by spartan-apple SE WI (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 13 at 13:13
I have used both potted and bare-root in my orchard. Both methods have good and bad aspects. POTTED: Cost more than bare-root can plant all season BARE-ROOT: available short time (dormant) bigger selection than potted Just avoid the chain stores that label them "fruiting pear" I prefer bare-root due to budget and ease of planting. But then I like to watch them grow. I am patient. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 13 at 16:16
A tree that is tended well should generally grow faster in the ground than in a pot- I do both in my nursery and have decades of comparison. Of course, it would depend on the soil as well, wouldn't it? What will grow faster in a pot, apparently, are blueberries, which can be sized up in a 5 gallon pot before putting in the ground and if you are on top of water and have them in the right mix you will probably get much faster establishment than when planting a small plant straight into the ground. I learned this on this site from a small commercial blueberry grower who got five feet of growth first year in pots from plugs. |

The litany of dinners continues. I need to figure out how to write about all this -- cookbooks, cookbooks embedded in a life -- without just describing mealtimes. Ideas?
This was our penultimate Hunanese dinner a la Fuchsia Dunlop, and my father drove down from Petaluma to partake. He is one of the gamest eaters I know which was fortunate as there were some mighty challenges on the menu.
Let's start with Dunlop's stir fried zucchini with salty duck egg yolks. It was. . . what is the word I am looking for. . . repulsive? Yes, I believe that will do. The photograph of this dish in Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook is incredibly seductive, slivers of green-skinned zucchini cloaked in a nubbly gold crust. Gentle reader, I will spare you the close-up of my rendition.
"Salted duck egg yolks are a fabulous ingredient," Dunlop gushes, "with a rich umami taste that enhances the most mundane of vegetable ingredients."
Truly dreadful.
I was also irresistibly drawn to the Scraped Jelly Ribbons in Hot Sesame Sauce on the strength of that name. Some people would have the opposite response, but I love both sesame and slippery noodle-like dishes. To make this one, you submerge brittle, papery sheets of Tianjin bean starch in hot water, watch them collapse into sort of rubbery translucent noodles, then tear into pieces and toss with a pungent sauce. Tasty but weird. Or weird but tasty. Haven't decided yet.
There was more, but the checklist of dishes is boring. Isn't it? I'll just mention the entirely successful General Tso's chicken -- fire-engine red, just like you get in a restaurant! -- and the Hunanese Lotus seeds with rock sugar.
"Not good," my father said after his first bite of lotus seed. Then he kept eating, which was how he was raised. A compulsive plate cleaner.
This dessert really wasn't good. It tasted of nothing but sugar, despite the starchy lotus seeds, feathery silver fungus (completely bland) and garish wolfberries floating around in the syrup.
That said, it was rather beautiful, don't you think?

A number of adolescents, between 12 and 17 years old, experiment with all kinds of harmful substances; these include alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, prescription drugs, heroin, inhalants and many others. With the percentage of teens in this particular age group using illicit drugs in Ohio, teenage drug addiction is a major problem which parents need to recognize and address right away.
A lot of teenagers who experiment with alcohol and drugs will develop a problem with substance abuse that will create major issues at both home and school. This could end up limiting the opportunities they will have in the future as it directly relates to employment and admission to college. For some teens, drug addiction will turn into a major problem that could result in chronic health problems and increase the risk of overdose and drug-related deaths.
When in this type of crisis, parents can experience extreme difficulty wading through the overwhelming amount of information available on the treatment of substance abuse to determine what is best for their child. Being proactive is always the best choice and there are a lot of different teenage rehab services which may be suitable for your teen based on his or her particular experience with substance abuse and whether there is any underlying issue with mental health and trauma.
Regardless of the age, economic class, gender or whether the individual lives in an urban home, suburban neighborhood or rural area, no one has an immunity to addiction. A number of different factors are there which could contribute to the risk of an adolescent developing an addiction to drugs. These factors include:
In a case where either parent has abused drugs or alcohol, it could be an indication that the teen has a higher risk of developing a problem with substance abuse.
Issues with self-esteem and self-consciousness are common among teenagers but individuals who experience extreme difficulty with these issues are more likely to attempt to get away from those feelings by way of substance abuse and addiction.
An adolescent who spends a lot of time in the presence of individuals who abuse drugs or alcohol have a greater risk of developing a habit themselves.
Co-occurring Disorders
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder could be an issue carried over from childhood and during the teenage years, mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders can become evident. These can cause teenagers to turn to alcohol and drugs to self-medicate the symptoms.
In the face of these very serious issues, it is quite easy for parents to experience feelings of helplessness; it is not possible to change some of the factors that contribute to substance abuse and parents feel powerless when these issues have adverse effects on their child.
Studies have indicated that both the professional drug counselors and teenagers involved in drug rehabilitation programs are in agreement that the opinions and thoughts that the parents have on substance abuse and addiction have a huge impact on the the progress that the individual makes.
Being vocal about the issues your teen is having with substance abuse can be a great first step to assist him or her in fighting off substance dependence. However, in the event that psychological and physical dependence become a problem, having the addicted adolescent enrolled in a comprehensive rehabilitation facility is the best alternative.

"I've made this for years now, and my family loves it...the stuffing is great too...I use regular stuffing mix, not cornbread, and add more veggies, but the flavors with the sage and cream are amazing. I suggested trying a new turkey recipe and my husband refused to entertain the thought!"""

Something that's being discussed in another thread that I thought deserved it's own.
In an email that I received from Malco Theaters (in response to my complaint that they have recently posted as gun-free),
their reasoning was in part by a suggestion from the Department of Homeland Security.
This is the text from the email...
Thank you for taking the time to comment about our no gun policy. After numerous discussions with the federal department of homeland security as well as law enforcement agencies, it was suggested by all that we post a no gun policy.
All other major theatre chains in the country have adopted a similar policy.
As always, we review our operating policies from time to time and make adjustments as needed.
Thanks again for your comments.

It is disturbing to me that the DHS apparently feels that advising private companies to post "gunbuster" signs will help lower the chances of more mass shootings.
Especially considering it is at least possible that the particular theater in Aurora was chosen because of a "gunbuster" sign.
(thanx to Harryball for this link)
I did say disturbed; not surprised.
