Maude-Mary, last year I got some fox-glove plants from you and they did great. I cannot seem to grow them, as well as the cup and saucer I get from Doris. I am at both your mercies for these plants. Leslie saved me some Russian sage, and I forgot to pick it up. I would like to try that again. Stan |

Count me and Rick in as well. Don't know yet what we'll will be bringing. One of my new loves this year is Daylilies. So, if anyone has any that need dividing, I would be ever so greatful :-) And as usual, always looking for hostas and vines for the hummingbirds, so Dessa you and I should talk :-). I'll be able to see what all made it through the winter here in a few weeks. Oh, I'll have Dutchman's Breeches and Ostrich ferns if anyone is interested. Looking forward to this! |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Wed, Apr 5, 06 at 19:10

Lot's of things waking up :-). Daylilies, columbine, peonies, daff's, tulips, and of course crocus. One hosta is eager to get going. Looking forward to more posts from everyone! Happy Spring 2006, Tina |

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah and I am in Iowa City. I am normally on Home Decorating forum, but I found this forum today. I just bought my first house last summer so this is my first spring attempting to garden. The previous h.o. was an awesome gardner and I can't keep up! Can someone tell me more about the swap? I am not sure what I have to swap (if anything!) so can I come with my checkbook? I would love to participate some how. Please let me know what I can do! Thanks! Sarah |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Mon, Apr 10, 06 at 19:48
Dessa, I could use some grape vines. Do you happen to know what variety they are? Also interested in your honeysucle, hops and trumpet vine starts and dogwood. If anyone has any sedums, iris, ridged leaved hostas they need to divide, I would be interested. Tina |
Well, I spent some time in the garden, and have a few tentative swap items! I know I will have a therese bugnet rose. I can dig out some japanese kerria, and I have tons of hesperis. I think that's what you wanted last year Connie. I may have some starts of veronica's choice clematis. I'll have to do some more digging! |
- Posted by joefsolon 5a/4b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Apr 24, 06 at 9:30
Hey, i'm leslie's friend. I have many items i can bring. I can bring: Jack-in-the-pulpit, Jacob's ladder, "walk on me" (thyme), various sedums, light purple and dark bergundy irises, hardy passion vine, and many others! LOOKING FOR: wisteria, azaleas, rhododendrons, pussy willows, any really cool flower you have! Thanks, I'll be there, Joe |

Good Day, I'm going to try to get there,I'm only a few miles away. I'm not sure what I'll bring but I know I have stuff that needs to be split. What kind of day lilies are you looking for? The short ones or the old fashioned tall ones? Does anyone have wild red violets? Elphinstone |
Okay, I think I have some wants. I would like some more redbuds, I can't remember who always brings them to me. Mary and Jay? I am also looking for a few named daylilies to add to my collection. I have some George Washington Carver daylilies to trade. I would love any different lilacs besides purple and white. What else, does anyone have any roses? |
- Posted by iowgardenangel zn5 IA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 28, 06 at 16:17

- Posted by joefsolon 5a/4b (email@example.com) on Fri, Apr 28, 06 at 18:09
WANTED: Leslie gave me some good ideas. I would like: Redbud Lilac (any color) Buckeyes?? Any Musa Basjoo (hardy banana)?? Forsythias This is my list i want from my other post: |
Leslie, I'm the redbud source, and have found one volunteer so far, and there will probably be others. These are year old plants - not large, but better for transplanting. Joe, I would trade for one of your burgundy iris, and can easily pot up a white lilac sprout. Elphinstone, I have the magneta wild violets - is that the color you want? Stan, bad news about the foxglove. None. Sorry. I have done as usual -- planted entire packages of seeds, so I'll have some small annuals. Had spectacular germination with Texas Sage and annual phlox. Both came from Select Seeds, so if you want to see them, follow the link below and search for these numbers -- s535 (Texas Sage 'Coral Nymph') and s416 (phlox Isabellina) and s285 (phlox of sheep). The phlox are not separated by color, but mixed, so I can't be sure what you'll get. I took cuttings from my geraniums last summer, and have loads of plants, all well rooted. No red ones, but pinks with burgundy/green leaves, and a couple with yellow leaves. One or two small Vancouver Centennial, too. Also took a bunch of Alabama sunset coleus cuttings, and have some of those as extras. Anyone want ~ Jane B -- are you coming? I will bring hosta for you since we never made contact last August. Dessa, did you offer Dutchmen's britches? I would like some of those, and I'm looking for a yellow flowered canna. Can't think of anything else. Mary |
Here is a link that might be useful: Select Seeds
Wait Wait - Yes I can!! I will trade plants - whatever I have that you want - for enormous plastic pots, the size that trees come in. |
If anyone has Hosta's, picky but not the normal ones everyone has I always need more. We have been rescuing a friends yard so hope to have more plants soon (they were just going to rip it out and throw it away and plant grass. If anyone is interested in Stepping stones and some small yard ornaments(concrete) email me, I can send you a list. Paws |
- Posted by mysterypoodle Toddville, IA 5a (My Page) on Sun, Apr 30, 06 at 13:13
I plan to bring daylilies (will try to find the variety, but they are tall, deep red, very dramatic), stachys, and some llama beans (a nice, non-burning organic fertilizer). Looking for: everything Can't wait! |
Phlox of Sheep! Yes! Me, me! I love that mix and just didn't find time to start seeds this year. Although my hollhocks seeded themselves and I have OODLES of those. Anyone for mixed hollies? I also have lots of ceaser's brother sib iris. And lots of pink kent bells campanula. I was also wondering if anyone had plain old white hydrangea to share? Leslie |
- Posted by joefsolon 5a/4b (email@example.com) on Sun, Apr 30, 06 at 16:14
Hey, i was digging around in the woods and i came across LOTS!!!! of Dutchman's Breeches (tons). I also have lots of wild leek, or onion, i don't know. i also found seven wild orchids (showy orchis) i'm willing to bring ONE for trade lol. they're white or purple (i'll bring one with out flowers cuz i want the ones that are flowering, so i don't know if i'll bring a purple one or white)the person i give it to will have to give me something i will really like!!!! MAUDE, thanks, i'll appreciate the lilac, i love 'em |
Hi,Anybody want Forsythia ? Leslie,I will try to pot up an old fashioned Hydrangea. Anyone want some neat coleus? I know Leslie will. Maude,I'd like Alabama Sunset. Do you have any of the chartreuse coleus? Anyone have Campanula glommerata ?Anyone need variegated Solomon Seal ? They are taking over! Doris |
- Posted by joefsolon 5a/4b (email@example.com) on Mon, May 1, 06 at 17:16

Hello, YES! It is the magenta colored violets I am looking for, sure hope you will bring some. I'm still digging around trying to find things to bring. Does anyone want Lily-of-the-valley? How about forget me nots? I have lots of varigated Bishop's weed also. I have orange trumpet vine,too. I didn't think I had much but I think I have more than I thought. Is anyone looking for herbs? I have lemon balm, taragon,winter savory, oregano, margoram,(don't think I spelled that correctly) and some rue. Also one minture rose that is about 3 years old and has wintered over nicely. I think it is white. I'll keep looking. Elphinstone |

Hi Everybody, I am not sure if I can make it this year and I am so disappointed. I think I have been to every one. I am still going to try to arrange to swap my things through someone else. I would love any shade plants or blooming trees or shrubs. I have a little bit of room for half day sun and I would love to attract butterflies and humming birds. Here is what I have so far: Also - I got an elk horn fern from someone 2 years ago and I really need to remount it in a new box. Can you tell me how to do that? I was going to bring it but now I may have to settle for online instructions... Thanks - Kerri |
Kerri, I'm the source of your staghorn fern. If it turns out that you can't be at Morse, then email me and I'll tell you what to do to remount it. Maude |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Fri, May 12, 06 at 19:12
joefsolon - I'll take the Barberry (Green) 1 if I have anything else you want in exchange. I am having trouble with my e-mail. I need to contact Jay in Missouri. I am going to try one more time tonight. If it doesn't go through, woud someone here be so kind as to contact him for me if I just post the message here? I would appreciate it so much. Is EVERYONE under rainy skies, and forecasted to stay that way for 6 more days? Thanks, Tina |
Kerri! Iwas just thinking about you and Pam the other day! I hope it turns out you can come! Is Pam coming? I don't think we've heard from her yet. Jay in Missouri would like to get a hold of you, could you send me your email address? And also I would love some of your primroses. I will try to come up with a more comprehensive list sometime this weekend, and maybe you can find something you would like off it. Leslie |

Good Day, Well not really, it is still cold and rainy here,I'm beginning to think I'll never get back out to my flower beds! I will bring trumpet vine, the white rose has been spoken for,but I have many starts of Mountain Bluets if anyone is interested, also found some globe thistle starts. I have potted some keria,too. I'm thinking about sorting through my collection of gardening books, anyone interested? My shelves are over flowing, I just can't seem to stop buying them, I usually get them at garage sales so will sell them cheap. I do want the red(magenta) violets, and if anyone has yellow violets, I'd be delighted. I worked at the Czech and Slovak museum last week, helped plant the gartdens, there were lots of people and many left over plants. I brought home a few of them, guess I should have taken more but didn't want to look like I was taking more than I brought. Does anyone have a red carpet rose start? Elphinstone |
- Posted by joefsolon 5a/4b (email@example.com) on Sat, May 13, 06 at 11:39
Hey, i've got some jacobs ladder. What i said was a trillium before is actually a hepatica. I don't have any wisteria left. |
Hi Elphinstone,I 'm interested in gardening books & magazines. I can bring some magazines,too. Need to thin out some & make room for new ones! |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Sat, May 13, 06 at 19:22
If anyone has pond plants, oxygenators, water hyacinth, chick or duck weed, lilies, or any hens and chicks, I would be interested in these as well. Also, if anyone is looking to get rid of houseplants, especially succulents, variegates or hoyas, let me know. Oh, and African Violets, would love a pink bloomer. Went to a plant sale in Waterloo today and had a really good time. It was COLD though, burrrrrrrrrrr. |

I'm new to the GardenWeb and would be interested in this swap. Will be going to granddaughter's birthday party in Davenport that day at noon and would have to come early and leave by 11 am. Don't want to dig anything unless I know I would be able to swap before 11 am. I would especially like peonies, but would welcome any perennials. I have lots of iris: early brown, yellow and blue/white; starting to bloom white with purple edging, golden yellow, not yet blooming of unknown color. Also would have plenty of wild columbine, and wild lavender anemone (I think it's anemone). Would have clumps of light green sedum that blooms yellow. Would anyone be interested in any trades??? |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Tue, May 16, 06 at 12:19
Pam ~ I would love to have these from your list: I can bring you: 1. Dutchman's Breetches Sound good? Does anyone have Hostas "Wide Brim", and Snow Cap" they can share? Thanks Tina |
It looks like I've got some digging to do! ;-) I should be able to fullfill most of the wants, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough brunnera and white bleeding heart to go around. I will get back to everyone once I get to digging and see what I have. oldpeony, I'd like some of your white with purple trim iris. I can come early to trade with you. -Pam |

- Posted by elphinstone Zone 4, Iowa (My Page) on Wed, May 17, 06 at 21:13
Hi! I would trade some trumpet vine to joefsolon for some Jacob's ladder if you still have some left. I may have some white bleeding heart, too. I haven't gotten to that garden yet except to see the prize winning dandilions rearing their heads. I'll bring the globe thistle, the rue and I just found some malva that I potted up yesterday. How do you get your wisteria to reproduce? Mine is sure pretty but I never get any seedlings. I'm also looking for Sweet Anne, I opened my package of seeds and promptly dropped all of them on the lawn. Elphinstone (actually it is Jo) but I kind of like the name Elphinstone, it is an old family name. |
Hello All! I feel like I am missing so much here! As many of you may have seen on the news this past weekend there was a house in Morse next to our store that caught fire and burned. Thank God no one was home. The family, who are dear friends of my husband's and mine lost everything. Their insurance agent has been out and already taken care of their claim, thank goodness they had good insurance! But Stacy is going to have to move her plants from around the house in order to save them from the demolition that is just around the corner. We are going to dig her a bed where she can store her plants until their new house is finished, and will be moving many things. Unfortunately many things were lost to heat and foam and ladders, etc... If any of you could find it in your hearts to bring her a special plant I would be ever so grateful. I will tuck them in her bed, and save them to be transplanted after the new house is up. She loves clematis, roses, and daylilies. Thanks in advance! Leslie ps. I can open the doors to the store at 10 am for early trading, but will many things going on that day besides the swap, so please no earlier than that. Sorry. |
- Posted by elphinstone Zone 4, Iowa (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 7:59
I'll bring something from my garden for Stacy. What a terrible thing to happen! What else are they needing? I have some extra funiture,etc. Please e-mail me and let me know. Elphinstone |
- Posted by iowgardenangel zn5 IA (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 10:34
i have extras including clematis. ill bring. Dessa |
Thanks for the offer of furniture Jo! It's very generous. Unfortunately right now there is nowhere to put it until about mid August. They are staying with his folks and I know quarters are a bit cramped right now to say the least. Right after the fire happened she tried to give me all the plants that weren't destroyed. I reassured her that she would again have a beautiful garden. So, I think plants will make her very happy. Again, thanks for your generosity, and you too Dessa! |
I saw the fire on the news and thought about you right away Leslie! I know all too well about the casualties of fire! When they get settled into a new place, she's welcome to anything in my garden. In the meantime, I will bring her something nice to the swap. -Pam |
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Mon, May 22, 06 at 20:47
I need to ask a huge favor. Except for Joe, Jay, lesliel, and Mary, I am having a difficult time trying to figure who gets what. Could you please post what I am to bring you if you are not on the above list? I would appreciate that very much! Looking forward to seeing all of you very soon! |

Just an FYI. It used to be that when a post on the GW reached 100 enteries it would get archived. And we seem to be getting dangerously close to 100! I don't know if that is still the case, BUT just to be on the safe side I suggest to anyone who posted a list of swaps that they save it on their computer also just in case! The responses have been overwhelming this year so it looks like it's going to be a great swap! Leslie |
I can't make it next weekend. I really wanted too. I have the Farmers Market Sat morning and have to get ready for the Pigeon Clubs Flea Market in Burlington. Have done really well at them. Being currently unemployed it will come in handy. Is there ever a Swap in the Fall? Looking forward to this for awhile, so disappointed. Have a great time all!! Paws |
I guess I better find out where the swap is located since it's my first year and I dont know. I'm bringing quite a few iris, double pink columbine, herb books, and some unrelated items to trade (in addition to those I've already prearranged a trade with). Really looking forward to it. Someone please post the location!! |

THANK YOU LESLIE, for a GREAT swap, has a wonderful time, Dessa |
- Posted by elphinstone Zone4 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 4, 06 at 9:32
Thank You!! To all of my new friends,I can not begin to tell you what a fantastic experience my first swap was yesterday. I can't wait to get the new plants in ground. Where do you "hang out" on gardenweb.com when you aren't busy getting ready for the swap, I would like to stay in touch as much as possible. Thank you again, what a pleasure you provide. Jo |
Thanks for another great swap, Leslie! I arrived home as the parade in Washington was winding down, and people at our house were amazed at the variety and number of neat plants I unloaded. "You mean they just gave you THAT?!" I think we might have another new face or two at the next swap (they're jealous ; >) Thanks again! |
Just wanted everyone to know I had a great time at the swap. Thank you Leslie for hosting and Dessa, I would love to come to another one this fall. I worried about the plants in the trunk and back seat of my car because they sat there all night Saturday while I visited my daughter in Davenport. But Sunday morning I headed home and felt much better when I saw they weren't drooping! Sunday night we planted a few things in my prairie area, a few things in my only shaded area, and the rest just got planted in rows at the end of our large vegetable garden. My husband groaned a bit and said my flowers were beginning to take over his veggies, but he like the flowers too. I hope you were all happy with my trades.........hope to have more plants by next year. Keep in touch. Ruth |

Hello everyone. It was a great swap. Thanks to Leslie and any one else who helped arrange this. It was my first swap as well and i was amazed at how many plants i took home! I thought i'd come home with the same amount or less that i brought, but i filled up a whole fourth of my garage. I hope all of the plants i gave to people are doing all right, if not, just tell me and i'll bring a new one at the next swap. When is it, any ways?? I don't have ALL of the plants planted yet because i'm in the process of weeding a 20x20 ft flower garden and i don't want to plant the plant in weeds. We're also going to till up another 100 square feet of space, so i'm waiting for that. I planted all of the irises, though. ALL beautiful colors. I mowed and tilled up a patch in the side of the woods. I made a border of skinny logs and a path through the middle. In the back,(as the "foundation", or "strong point" of the garden) i planted a back row of almost black irises, and like 5 more rows of iris colors. It will look really neat when they all bloom at once. i'll just have to wait till next year to see the colors, then transplant them. Great swap. thanks to everyone and have a happy summer! Joe F. |
Like usual, I had a wonderful time at the swap! It was good to see so many new faces! And, believe it or not, I didn't have to drag my son out, he WANTED to come and help! I still don't have everything planted, but I am taking care of them! And, Tony is taking care of "his" plant. I am very excited about the things that I got, I am hoping to go to the fall swap. -Pam |

Scattered Shots: Skill vs. gear {WoW}
Feb 6th 2010 10:46AM This is definately true. Gear will help but doesn't compensate for skill. I have been on both ends of the spectrum with this. I've out done a better geared hunter based on my skill, and I've been out done the same way. Contrary to what a lot of other classes believe, hunters need a massive amount of skill and understanding of their class and talents to compete at endgame levels. Gear alone won't cut it!

I have been growing peonies for over 25 years in my back yard where there is lots of room, but recently (2003) moved some to my front, full sun, 2ft. wide garden. They are doing very well, tall, very floriferous, but I do have some smaller plants nearby which I would like 'seen' after the peonies bloom in mid-June. Would it hurt to trim them a bit - maybe the two outer stems on each side? Or perhaps cut them down by half right after blooming? Thank you.
Northerner. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Fine as long as you leave most of the foliage. However as the peonies expand and grow it will not be posible to do do in the future. You will need to move one or the other of the plantings for both to be seen at their glory. |

Thank you, Maifleur. I tried to respond to you last week but the site was not functioning properly. I had a hunch that would be your answer but was hoping it would not be. My neighbour came over today with some rather long stakes (I had the shorter round wire supports) and tied them up quite high so the shading tends to be reduced. In the fall will be a good time to re-locate my other plants and let the peonies be the 'stars' of my garden. They are just so full of buds just waiting to pop open. Do you ever remove buds to promote fewer, but larger, blooms? Just wondering. |
I don't but it would depend on what you want. By removing the buds the main bloom will be fuller. By leaving you will have a longer blooming time. If I wanted for a special event I would probably remove the buds but personally I like the longer bloom time. Additionally if you were going to breed peonies sometimes the side buds on doubles will have pistles and stamens where the main bud does not. |

Everyone is calling me the lucky charm today, as if my presence here brought 24 inches Champagne Powder with it in the past 24 hours. I can't take the credit, but I'll certainly ski it with gratitude and awe. As a guest of the mountain today and a former Straight Talker, I'm thrilled to share my thoughts on the day and admit that I am one of the cursed destined to come back to Steamboat again and again.
It's a truly amazing day today with 16 inches overnight at mid-mountain. I had a hard time believing the snow report this morning...how possibly did mid-mountain get more than the summit? Well it's quite true. It's deeper and significantly warmer below the top of the Four Points lift, but the top is skiing great as well. But be sure to stay covered and insulate yourself from the very low temps up high.
My first early morning runs made me feel like I never left. The fresh Rocky Mountain air and the terrain are so familiar to me that my moves are almost automatic and I headed straight to Sundown Express with the early crowd. I can tell that everyone has been doing the snow dance and the gods finally delivered. There were plenty hoots and hollers to be heard on the way down to the lift.
Alone, despite the onslaught of texts and calls (hey sorry, it's a powder day right?), I skied the trees between Kuus' Cruise and Three O' Clock. It's an amazing feeling to float and bounce off the pillows that cover the undulating terrain especially after having spent the bulk of the winter in the Pacific Northwest. I was hyper-focused on the water content (or lack thereof) in the newly fallen snow. Floating through, I made several laps on Sundown, but my favorite was most certainly 2:30 trees, a go-to for me located between Two and Three O' Clock.
The aspen skiing in Steamboat is second to none so I stuck to them for most of the morning. I did verture up Morningside lift to Christmas Tree Gulley to give you a full report, and while the 9 or so inches of new make for good skiing, it is still a little bony underneath. Take it easy up high on the rocky steeps as we still need it too fill in a bit. A great run on Flying Z brought my back to the deeper snow and warmer temps.
Before heading down to write, I couldn't resist a run through Closets and Shadows skier's left of Storm Peak Face. It's the definitely the gem of Steamboat. These open glades of Aspen trees are the favorite of locals and visitors alike, and a special place for me and my husband--our engagement site 9 years ago.
People talk about the Yampa Valley Curse, a nagging lure that keeps you returning to this small pocket in Northwest Colorado. But for me it's magnetic--a gravitational pull that draws me back to the people and the powder that make Steamboat such a special place to ski. I'm so happy to be here and thanks for welcome home gift!

HoliCash is a complimentary service that allows Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Guests to load various devices with money to use as easy payment throughout Holiday World & Splashin' Safari. HoliCash is accepted as payment at Ticket Booths, Guest Relations, most Gift Shops, Restaurants and Snack Stands, human-operated Games, St. Nick's Wagon Depot, and Locker Rental.
Please call 1-800-467-2682, option 3, to order ahead of time or plan to purchase at the park. HoliCash can be loaded with all accepted forms of payment at In-Park Services, Gift Shops, and HoliCash Kiosks.
HoliCash is a debit-based service requiring a positive balance to complete purchases. No credit extension will be provided if sufficient funds are not available to complete a purchase. In that case, another form of payment must be provided.
HoliCash devices are not credit cards or debit cards and carry no warranties, expressed or implied. These devices may be replenished and will be honored only when activated via authorized means.
HoliCash is Quick & Easy!
- Get a HoliCash Wristband or other device*.
- Use cash or credit card to load your HoliCash wristband.
- Use the HoliCash for easy payment throughout the park!
*Types of HoliCash Devices
- Season Passes – Our all-in-one season passes provide admission, appropriate discounts, and payment throughout the park (when HoliCash has been loaded).
- Gift Cards – These plastic credit-card sized cards may be purchased over the phone before your visit, or purchased/loaded at Gift Shops & In Park Services in any amount desired.
- Wristbands – Guests may load a temporary-use wristband for use during a visit. Wristbands are available – free of charge – at Gift Shops and In-Park Services.
- Vouchers – Pre-printed vouchers are available to certain groups and picnic customers. Vouchers are not available for sale on-site. They must be purchased or reserved in advance through the Holiday World Group Sales department. Vouchers are printed with specific expiration dates and can be used until the value is $0 within the time frame they are valid.
Additional Details
HoliCash Dormancy Rules & Fees for Season Passes, Gift Cards, and Wristbands:
- All HoliCash devices will be considered dormant if there are no transactions on the invoice tied to the device for a period of thirty six (36) months.
- Transactions that will prevent dormancy, if done at least once every thirty six (36) months, include loading money onto the HoliCash device or using the device for payment.
- Once considered dormant, a 100% maintenance fee will be applied to balances remaining on HoliCash devices. Positive balances will be reduced to zero, but only if the above dormancy rules apply.
HoliCash Expiration Rules for Vouchers:
HoliCash Vouchers are printed with specific valid dates that may range from one day to a full Holiday World operating season. HoliCash Vouchers will not work or be accepted as payment before or after the valid date range. Once a HoliCash Voucher expires, all remaining funds are forfeited.
Refunds for Remaining Balances:
Balances remaining on Season Passes, Gift Cards, Kiosk Cards, and Vouchers are non-refundable and not redeemable for cash, except where required by law.
Funds remaining on an expired Season Pass can still be used throughout the park, however, the expired Season Pass will not admit you into the park or give discounts in the park. The funds left on these expired Season Passes may be used to purchase a HoliCash Gift Card, if preferred.
Balances remaining on Wristbands at the end of a Guest's visit can be transferred to a Kiosk Card at one of the HoliCash Kiosks throughout the park. The Kiosk Card serves as an easy way to save and store remaining balances without having to take wristbands home.

Lost or Stolen HoliCash:
Lost or stolen HoliCash devices will not be replaced or refunded. Protect your HoliCash devices as you would other forms of payment. Due to the nature of debit type devices, proof of purchase does not prove ownership.

Caraun Reid – Defensive Tackle – Princeton
Size – 6021 – 302 – 4.91
Strong Points – Has good size, plays with strength, flashes dominating lower level of competition, defense run, pass rush, effective blocking kicks
Weak Points – Not consistently quick to find the ball, bench press at combine (20 reps), can get tall, raw
2013 Stats - 26 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks (20.5 career sacks)
Summation – A rare fifth-year senior at an Ivy League school, he played in the opener in 2010 but was injured and missed the rest of the season. Because of the injury, he was given an injury red-shirt season. He played a key role as a freshman in 2009 and was a starter from 2011 – 2013. In some reports, he is listed as being young for a college senior, but he is already 22 and will turn 23 during his rookie year
Listed at a nose tackle, he also lined up all along the defensive front, getting snaps as a 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5 technique.
Reid has good size and is a good athlete. He plays stronger than he tested. He has very good speed for a big guy (4.91) and can change direction. He has very good balance and is seldom off his feet.
Reid shows very good initial quickness with his quick snap reaction and quick first step. He is able to get penetration to disrupt, but there are times when he loses sight of the ball and is not able to finish. Still, he makes plays and because he is consistently double teamed, he frees things up for other defenders.
Reid is a tough, competitive kid who plays hard every down and will chase the ball in pursuit. With his speed, he has range to the sideline.
As a pass rusher, he gets off the ball quickly and has the power in his lower body to push the pocket. He flashes quick hand use and is able to redirect and use counter moves. He has a good burst coming off blocks to the quarterback. He is a very good tackler both in tight and in the open field.
Reid is an interesting prospect. He has the athleticism to play as a slant nose in a one-gap scheme but also has the frame to carry 350 and play on the nose of as a five-technique in a three-man front. Though he is still raw and will need time to develop, he has a lot of upside. I see him as a mid-round pick who has a chance to be a down-the-road starter.

Why is UPLIFT priced so low?
Many people ask us how we can afford to sell our high quality UPLIFT line of Height Adjustable Standing Desks and Accessories for such a low price. The answer is simple. With over 12 years experience in the standing desk industry, we have established industry-wide relationships with quality, cost-efficient component manufacturers. Our philosophy is to expand the standing desk to a wider audience by streamlining production - eliminating middle men - and building UPLIFT products in our plant.

The UPLIFT 970 Height-Adjustable Standing Desk is available with a durable desktop in the following shapes and finishes.
The Advanced Wire Management Kit is a complete cable organization system for your height-adjustable desk. We developed this kit after years of desk installations. It's a proven way to easily manage all computer and electric desk cords. The kit includes the following:
Click the video below to get some helpful tips on making the most of your UPLIFT Advanced Wire Management Kit:
The included cable organization tray forms the crux of your wire management solution with a sleek, black design that seamlessly blends with your desk's design and mounts securely to the desktop with two self-tapping wood screws or a strip of included double-sided tape. At 3.6'' wide, this tray is wide enough to accommodate cords, power supplies and the included power strip, minimizing below-desk clutter. While we recommend adding the entire advanced wire management kit for a full cable management solution with the most customization, this wire management tray portion of the kit can also be added to your desk order on its own.
10 self-adhesive wire mounts and 100 single-use cable ties allow for cables to be bundled and pulled taut against the bottom of the desk, eliminating hanging wires.As your workstation develops over the years, it's likely that you'll need to re-bundle wires for routing or storage inside the wire management tray. A set of 10 reusable cable ties is also included, allowing for modification of cable bundling as needed without needing to replace individual cable ties.
Additionally, the Advanced Wire Management Kit provides a desk-to-wall cable organizer to organize wires running from an outlet or equipment to your desk in a single bundle. The desk-to-wall cable organizer's heavy-duty "spiral" design protects the cables inside from wear and tear, while also allowing cables to be integrated into the organizer or removed from it easily. An included quick wire add/remove tool rapidly and efficiently routes cables into the organizer.
Finally, if you need more power outlets close at hand, or just need an all-in-one power solution, a clamp-on surge protector with USB charger can be added to the Advanced Wire Management Kit or ordered as a standalone product. This unique surge protector features six power outlets with space for two large AC adapters as well as a pair of ports for charging USB devices. Capable of clamping onto any surface up to 1 3/8'' thick, this surge protector can placed nearly anywhere on your desk for convenient outlet access. Please note that this surge protector will not fit inside of the wire management tray and must be mounted on the desk edge.
Grommet holes can be added to your UPLIFT desk to allow for through-desk cable routing or monitor arm mounting, or can include a power grommet with two AC power outlets. The holes can be drilled at the rear edge of your desk on either the left, right or center, or a combination of the three. Corner desk grommet holes are drilled 3.5'' from the left or right side and 2.5'' from the rear edge, with central grommet holes placed in the center of the desk 2.5'' from the rear edge. For custom grommet hole positions, please call us at 1-800-531-3746.
Each grommet hole includes your choice of a black or chrome grommet hole cover, or an UPLIFT Power Grommet. Black grommet hole covers feature flip-top tabs that cover the cord slot when not in use. UPLIFT Power Grommets feature two UL-approved power outlets, a small hole for wires, and a 58" cord. These power grommets give you easy outlet access for peripherals, and allow power sources to move up and down with your desk when going from sitting to standing. Standard grommet holes with covers are 3" in diameter, and power grommets are slightly larger at 3.125" wide to accommodate your outlets.
The UPLIFT 970 Height-Adjustable Standing Desk can be ordered with optional casters. The casters come in a set of four, and can be locked to keep the desk stationary, but easily unlocked when you want to roll the desk.
Please note: the casters will add approximately 1.5 inches of height to your desk.
The attached stands that typically come with a new monitor are not ergonomic or adjustable; using a monitor arm will allow you to maintain good posture, avoid eye strain, control monitor position and save desktop space. Most people who purchase a monitor arm come back and say they should have done so years ago.
The UPLIFT Monitor Arm is a stylish, pneumatic monitor arm that provides complete fingertip adjustment for height, depth and lateral movement. These arms support monitors weighing up to 17.5 lbs. and feature an adjustable counterbalance system that allows for easy adjustment. If you are looking for a dual monitor solution, we also offer the UPLIFT Dual Monitor Arm, for two monitors up to 17.5 lbs. each.
Add an UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat to your desk order, and receive an additional discount off the regular mat price. Our UPLIFT Sit-Stand anti-fatigue desk mats are extremely durable and comfortable. The padding is an inch thick and the surface is puncture-proof to withstand high heels or even the wheels of your chair. Choose from a 2' x 3' size or a 3' x 5' size.
Note: If you wish to use your UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat as a chair mat as well, you will need the 3' x 5' size.
When using a sit-stand desk, we recommend mounting your computer beneath your desktop to prevent cables from being stretched and pulled out of their ports when moving the desk from sitting to standing positions. We don't recommend leaving your CPU on the floor, as most cords aren't long enough to stretch from a computer placed on the floor to the standing height of your desk. While one option is to place your CPU on top of your desk, a CPU holder allows you to securely attach your computer tower to the bottom of your desktop to free up desk space. For an adjustable CPU holder at a discounted price when bundled with this desk, our own UPLIFT CPU Holder features a 360° swivel mount and a gliding track mechanism for easy access to your computer.

An ergonomic keyboard tray is an excellent accessory for your UPLIFT desk, giving you the freedom to adjust the height and tilt of your keyboard independently from the desk. A keyboard tray will also relieve the strain caused by over-reaching to type and is an excellent way to manage repetitive stress issues. An UPLIFT Desk is available with your choice of two keyboard trays. The UPLIFT Large Keyboard Tray comes with one, 27'' wide surface for your keyboard and mouse to sit side-by-side. For those who prefer more flexibility, the UPLIFT Switch Keyboard Tray comes with two surfaces: a 19.75'' wide platform for the keyboard and a separate 9'' diameter surface for the mouse. The mouse platform can easily move to the left or right side for ambidextrous mousing, and is also depth adjustable, allowing you to position your mouse closer to your body or farther away without adjusting the rest of the keyboard tray.
Though they have different platforms, both keyboard trays offer the same intuitive adjustability, wide range of ergonomic features and simple installation. With their easy lift-and-release, knob-free locking height adjustment that adjusts a full 8'', wheel tilt adjustment, and easy-to-read height and tilt indicators, both UPLIFT Keyboard Trays allow you to position your keyboard and mouse in a healthy, comfortable spot, whether seated or standing. The 0.25'' thick phenolic keyboard trays both feature a removable foam palm rest, a foam mouse pad and a cord manager for easy routing of your cables. Either of the low-profile, heavy-duty platforms will get your keyboard and mouse even closer to your lap, allow for compact storage and comfortably fit most keyboard and mouse combinations. These high-quality keyboard tray systems are available at a discounted price when bundled together with your UPLIFT Desk.
All necessary mounting hardware is included, including an 11'' track that allows your keyboard tray system to be mounted without interference from the desk's support beam underneath, and a 21'' track that you can use if the crosspiece is removed from the desk. While the 11'' track length will not allow you to fully store your tray along the track under your desk, we find that most users never fully retract their tray even if they have that capability. For users with a 60'' or wider desktop, you can take advantage of the 360° of rear swivel at the mechanism to rotate your platform around underneath the desktop for storage, or achieve a fully-retractable keyboard tray along the track by removing the crosspieces to form an UPLIFT 920 Desk with no crossbar interference and mounting the full 21'' track under the desk.

Pleased with product selection

I chose this product over the Ergo Kangaroo Desktop. Unlike the Kangaroo desktop, its large surface area provides the ability to adjust the viewing depth of the monitor, a key consideration given many widescreen monitors are large and need to be placed far enough away from the eyes to obtain a proper field of view.
