Holy crap holy crap the NHL is almost here the NHL is almost here. Like, for reals, yo. The refs have started their training camps, rookie camps are in full effect, and the big boys are back in camp in the next couple days. Hallelujah.
In the meantime, there's still lots of interesting tidbits trickling out in the days leading up to real puck, so let's discuss those.
Dan Cleary is going to sign a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers
Technically they're bringing him in on a PTO (professional try-out), but that's only because they're over the cap and have to wait for things to start before they can move Chris Pronger to the LTIR, which will free up five million in cap space and give them room to add Cleary (they'll likely need to do some more finagling in the early part of the season beyond that). His deal is rumoured to be for $2.75M per year, plus a no-trade clause.
At this stage of his career I hardly think Cleary's a guy who takes your team to the next level, and the Flyers need to take steps forward right now, not just fill in holes (though their financial situation certainly limits them in that quest). Given the former Red Wings' style of play, he strikes me as a guy who needs the physical tools that aging takes from you to be effective, meaning I think you're getting a worse Dan Cleary every year you've got him beyond this one. It's not like he's a Teemu Selanne-style guy who lurks backdoor for clever tap-in goals. Usually a young, hungry player headed in the other direction (who could do roughly the same job) is somewhere within a team's own system, and if not, it's certainly worth pursuing one via other avenues.
Cleary's a legit NHL player, he's been a part of a great team for years and likely learned a lot from Babcock, and he's only 34. I'm just not sure how that fits in with what Philly is after.
The NHL is going to take the great HBO 24/7 product and dilute it, aren't they?

Oh hey neat! My favourite sports show, HBO's 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic is being taken over by the NHL.
And split over a bunch of teams, with less episodes per group.
And likely censored, given it's the NHL not HBO doing it.
And will be a lead-up to the also-watered-down outdoor games.
….Hey. Neat.
From a business perspective I can't blame the NHL for attempting to feverishly milk their cash cows at every opportunity, it's just a bummer to take a beast of a show that so many fans love, remove it's teeth, and stretch it thin. I mean, we'll all probably still watch and they know it, so I guess that's not much incentive for them to leave things in their pure form, but yeah… this isn't great news to me.
It's that time of year for hockey players (and has been for awhile) where the cycle of summer programs reach their final step. You go from rebuilding, to adding mass, to stepping up your cardio, to focusing on explosiveness. And well, here we are.
I came across a video on Lighthouse Hockey of JT's routine right now, which you can check out here:
My favourite part of the video is being reminded of how well-rounded hockey training has become. Athletes in other sports work just as hard, but there aren't many games that requires you to have strong…everything. There's just no area to focus on for hockey players. Legs, core, upper body, it's all necessary. And, well, Tavares looks like he's been focusing on more or less every area possible.
Check out Dion Phaneuf in a different light (via Kukla's Korner)
Speaking of "behind the scenes" stuff, I thought this video of generally-disliked Maple Leaf Dion Phaneuf was intriguing, as it did a pretty good job casting him in a new light. There's some really telling stuff in there, like that fact that he retreats to his place in PEI for the summer, and has only left the island once (for a day) since arriving.
It's like borderline isolation, but he does seem so, so much happier than I've seen him before.
My other takeaway from the video: dude's kind of a rough athlete off skates for a guy who makes a living playing a sport, geez. That swing and those tennis skills… woof.
Over at the Sporting News, Sean Gentille has compiled a list of team account tweets that say "Hey guys, look, ice!"
It's funny that so many teams are doing it, but it is kind of fun to see everything start to come together. It seems to be a universal thing around the league this season to put a team design in the center red which looks pretty cool…

I'd like to hear some feedback regarding the use of nematodes to control thrips. For the past four years, I've had a devil of a time with thrips. Most of what I have tried has met with limited success: 1. Tried insecticidal soaps & neem oil -- hardly any effect. I feel like the time to strike for this season is now; however, I'm at a loss as to what will work. Nothing angers me more than seeing a big bloom open prematurely and sickly because of a thrip. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I tried some of kpfl81's remedies, including spinosad, with no improvement in thrips' control. I didn't try Orthene. What I finally used that worked pretty well is a granule form of imidacloprid applied around the base of the affected plant and scratched in. I did this on a very limited basis, strictly on plants I knew were thrips magnets. The maker of this insecticide is Hi-Yield. Diane |

Thrips can all but destroy a beautiful spring flush. I don't grow roses to feed the thrips. Especially after waiting all winter for some beautiful roses. Example: Moonstone. Do I want those big beautiful white tipped in pink blooms or do I want nice long stems with beautiful foliage and a ball of mud on the end. I'll do whatever I have to do to make sure I have good looking blooms. Orthene for 6 wks in the spring. It's your choice. Now if the nematodes work, I need to know. |

I had a heck of a problem with thrips last year because I brought home an infested plant from a nursery (should have paid better attention to all those unopened blooms!) and didn't have enough time to treat it before I left on a month long vacation. Just one shot of spinosad. Once those suckers get established they are dang near impossible to get rid of. that's also what the literature says. They spread to every flower on my property (they LOVE LILLIES of all colors, and Dianthus, and sage and... and ....). If you didn't know which plant was the original offender, you could have easily guessed by counting how infested the other plants were on my property. It was like a bomb (center zone red, then the orange zone, then yellow .... UG) those nearby were FULL of them, the furthest away were just getting impacted. Anyway- I tried everything and I found that if things weren't too bad you could use a really nasty spray like orthene dutifully and get rid of them. But if they were everywhere, it took a more thoughtful approach. I can't be drowning my entire property in orthene. I'll get rid of flowers before I do that because you wreck all the natural habitat for any good bugs and you are forever stuck fighting everything. anyway----What ever you plan to do- start yesterday and don't quit. Here's what helped for me. I barely got some form of control at the end of the summer and I hope this winter has killed them, but I will start early with nematodes and lady bugs hoping to nip it in the bud. I also will NEVER bring home nursery roses again unless they are from the rose seller here that I know NUKES her roses regularly and does not grow them in greenhouses (they are basically impossible to eradicate from greenhouses). I am mostly getting bareroots from now on though because the thrips come in the soil too. horrible little monsters. I told the nursery who sold me the infested plant about it and she said she thought thrips were only a nuisance and nothing to worry about as they don't kill plants, only prevent flowers. !! ( She sells plants, not flowers.) |

I never had thrips until I stopped using the Bayer drench. It's overkill for most of my roses, but for those that are ruined by thrips for most of the season, I am going to use the drench on them. I also bought this spray, I think it's a fungus or maybe nematode that is supposed to control thrips. I will try it this year on all of my roses. Even the ones that don't get damaged are usually crawling with them. |
Thrips are everywhere. Although it seems as if all the Thrips in the world are concentrated on your rose blooms, I assure you that unnoticed by you there are Thrips feeding in the acreage all around you. Kill the Thrips you have on your rose blooms and other Thrips will quickly move in to replace them. Thrips are also cyclical. They are always around, but some years their numbers are worse then others. Thrips pupate in the soil around the rose they are feeding on, so disturbing the soil under the rose may help kill some of the offspring. Some roses are more attractive to Thrips then others, and some roses will show Thrips damage more then others.....What you are smelling when you apply Orthene is the additive Mercaptan, which is a "stinky" organic substance used in gasoline and many oil products. It is basically harmless but the smell is there to alert people that what they are using can be dangerous and to pay attention...I gave up trying to kill thrips by chemical means years ago. It's not that I'm against responsible spraying, but nothing I used had much effect. If I heard of something that REALLY worked and wasn't going to nuke every living creature in my back yard at the same time, I might consider it. But barring that I have reluctently gotten rid of the roses that the Thrips seem to have on their favorite menus. I now have only a few light colored roses, and those I kept have fewer or looser petals so that the Thrips can't hide as well in between them. They don't seem to care for an open bloom as much as a closed bloom. There are exceptions. Tineke is a great white that seems not to show the Thrips damage as much as most light colored roses if the Thrips pressure is low to moderate. Last year after a warm winter, even it looked pathetic during spring bloom....I know you are looking for the magic bullet (who isn't), but so far I haven't heard of anything that works over the long haul....Maryl |

I'm thinking of covering those flowering buds with brown plastic bag... or place a net over my roses. I'm also going to put lots of yellow sticky tapes . I hope one of those methods will work..I was very heartbroken when all the buds had been completely destroyed by those throps. None of them had open up completely. They turned yellow and died. |

I just did some research online, prepared to buy the nematodes. Found out it's expensive to ship, and since most of the thrips are on leaves, the soil treatment is not very effective. Apparently, in Florida they love oak leaves, and I am surrounded by oak trees. I already bought the spinosad concentrate locally equivalent to Monteray spray (5% concentration), so that's what I will use, spraying the whole bush especially the undersides of leaves. It works because the thrips feed on the leaves. It is safe for bees once it is dry in a few hours. It is toxic to bees when wet, so they say to spray until drippy in the late evening or early morning when bees are not around, and I don't intend to get it on open flowers. Spinosad loses its toxicity after 8 to 24 hours and so it may be necessary to reapply a few days later if new larva hatch. (Please note that I originally wrote that it was effective for 3 - 4 weeks, but I found out that was wrong.) I do not spray chemicals so this is a big deal for me. I have been disbudding and deadheading the whole garden once I see that they're here which has stopped the repeated generations. Last year red roses were effected. Louis Philippe was decimated, even Mrs B R Cant. Most of my roses are light colored & pastels. Not only is it disheartening to remove the whole spring flush, but it is painful, backbreaking work. I look like a cotton-picker with the trash bag (taped to a large-mouth jug with the bottom cut off) tied to my waist. It usually takes two or three bags to do the job, and when they're full, they're heavy. So I'm going to try the spinosad. I'm told that the thrips are here year-round, but April is their big breeding time. The rest of the year isn't bad, but it does explain why my blooms are never quite perfect with their brown-tinged edges. Imidacloprid also works (it's in the Bayer drench), but it is systemic and kills bees because it gets in the pollen. REALLY, YOU SHOULD NOT USE IT (and other systemics) for the sake of the bees. The spinosad is also effective against grasshoppers and other bugs that chew on your leaves. I'm also going to make my own "blue sticky traps" out of the large blue plastic drinking cups coated with vaseline. Last year I used some kind of automotive lubricant (forgot the name) which was nasty to apply, but the vaseline will be much easier. Let's be safe out there and kind to our beneficial bug friends.

On spinosad, I've used the Fertilome product ( http://www.fertilome.com/product.aspx?pid=040d0f7c-b636-4dda-81d9-867e3a96ed9a ) with fine results around my precious bees. I don't quite spray till drippy, but I have sprayed until I can see good foliage coverage with a fine mist. I haven't used it for thrips, but I don't use systemics because of bees, so I think the spinosad is probably better around them. One thing I do think I noticed is that the leaf-cutter bees may have been affected (once) by my using it. Now I absolutely won't spray it near their favorite haunts. I don't know the research on that, but I think maybe they shouldn't eat the leaves even days later if you use this product (or similar). And make sure your companion plants aren't attracting them when you spray it. I do it at night and also pull off all the open flowers on the sages, etc. under the sprayed rose. I leave the bee flowers about 8-10 ft away, and the bees do go to those flowers the next day with no noticeable ill effects. HTH. I hate to use insecticides! |
"... with the trash bag (taped to a large-mouth jug with the bottom cut off) tied to my waist." Thank you, sherryocala! :) I can't add any info about thrips, however I want to point out that the above is an excellent idea. I can totally see me using a version of this for other tasks in the garden. I know I can use this for collecting seed heads, random small cleanup. etc.. I am always trying to keep my hands free and messing around with grocery bags doing these things, so this idea could really fix that. Thanks! |
- Posted by sherryocala 9A Florida (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 13 at 23:38
You're welcome, Merlcat! You know, when I was deadheading echinacea, I never thought to use this bag thing. Duh. Meredith, I also didn't think about the flowers on companion plants. Good thing you mentioned that. Sorry the photo is such a mess. Couldn't get a very good shot in the bedroom mirror. Sherry |

Merl, your fashion sense is amazing. It is the bungee bling that makes the outfit! I must get me some of these. I always like to be fashion-forward while gardening. Do they come in colors? |
Thank you! Yes, they totally do come in colors: solids, stripes and a wide assortment of sizes! Even different color coded end hooks, plastic and metal. Ones small enough to wrap around your ponytail to keep your hair up. (Yes, I have done this) In my past life I was a vendor on Grateful Dead tour, which evolved into vending my work at various large music festivals all over the country. My whole display was built of bungees, ez-ups and spring clamps! My stockpile of bungees and clamps is huge. They fill at least 2 of those big plastic storage bins you get at the big box stores. I will say I have been know to wear both bungees and clamps. Spring clamps hanging off the tails of my shirts clamped in chains and bungees round my neck at the ready to build the booth. During those said shows I would be found with at least a dozen clothes pins clipped to my fanny pack and shirt tails. Also high fashion. I might not be the best rose gardener (yet, I am still hoping..), but give me a box of bungees, clamps, a couple tarps and a few poles and I could build a shelter that would survive hurricane and snow, and remain standing till the sun came out, for sure. A spare roll of duct tape and some zip ties are always handy, too. With all my past experience I know I could whip up an excellent PVC and plastic Hoop house greenhouse. Unfortunately I have not one square foot of available space to do so or I would have already done it. |

Wow, Merl, I'm impressed. I have the space but not the talent. The socks and sandals do make quite a statement, Sherry. You should be proud. So far thrips have not been a problem for me. When I first started gardening years ago, Elina had them. I sprayed her one time, and that was it. I guess I better knock on wood. I'm especially terrified I will get chilli thrips. Being isolated like I am, I'm hoping they won't find me. |
Well that was entertaining...but back to thrips. I know most of you hate insecticides, but after having two horrible seasons with thrips and ugly spring flowers, the last two years I used the Bayer systemic only on the roses that got the thrips. I just use it once in March, and don't use it any more than that. It completely solved the problem. I have plenty of bees, worms etc. |
That mirrors my experience socabeth. I used to use the drench and never had thrips. But I stopped using it a few years ago and now have a horrible thrip problem. I am going to use the drench on a few roses that are absolutely ruined by thrips and other non-pesticide methods on the others (just to lower the thrip population in my yard). |

Funny Point and Click Adventure
8 In-Game Achievements
Optional Side-Quests
36 Fully Voice Acted Characters
Animated Cutscenes
Full Screen Mode
After making five free to play games in "The Several Journeys of Reemus" series, the time seemed right to try something ambitious.
So in 2010 we plotted out our first commercial point and click adventure game featuring a brand new storyline with full voice acting and optional side quests.
Originally slated for a summer 2010 release, we quickly realized we had under estimated the amount of work it would require to complete. Now, almost two years later, all the hard work has paid off and we're proud to unveil our finished product.
The Ballads of Reemus marks our commercial debut and the biggest project we've ever under taken. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did creating it.

Your Pella Showroom:
Please Enter a valid zip code

One of the most common reasons to replace existing windows is to increase the energy efficiency of your home — which reduces your heating and cooling bills and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Pella windows are up to 74 percent more energy efficient1. You'll notice the savings immediately, because poorly performing windows and doors cause heating and cooling loss in your home. Don't throw money out the window!
Be sure to look for these energy-efficient features:
Double-pane glass insulates almost twice as well as single-pane. Triple-pane glass maximizes your energy efficiency.
These are layers of thermal protection inside insulating glass that help:
Argon2 is a natural, colorless, nontoxic gas that's denser than air. It adds layers of insulation to further reduce the transfer of heat or cold, making your home even more energy-efficient and comfortable.
Pella products offer the energy-efficient options that will meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® guidelines in all 50 states.3 American households are saving significantly on their energy bills by using ENERGY STAR certified products. Learn more about ENERGY STAR.
Pella InsulShield® energy performers include:
Windows and doors that don't seal properly are drafty — affecting your comfort level and increasing your energy costs. Rest assured, Pella tests its products in state-of-the-art facilities to make sure they meet or exceed industry performance standards.
If installed incorrectly, your windows and doors may not operate properly. Proper installation will help prevent air infiltration and even costly water damage to your home.
It's the only reliable way to determine the entire window's energy performance and to compare products realistically.
The National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC) is a nonprofit organization for the window industry that developed an energy rating system based on whole-unit product performance — not just the glass.
The U-Factor represents the rate of heat flowing out of a window or door in an hour. The lower the number, the better the glass insulates.
The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) rating measures the amount of solar radiation that enters as heat. The lower the number, the less heat the glass allows in.
Learn more about the NFRC label
1 Calculated based on NFRC ratings for a Pella Designer Series Advanced Low-E triple-pan wood window compared to a single-pane window in winter conditions. 2 High-altitude Low-E insulating glass does not contain argon gas in most products. 3 Some products may not meet ENERGY STAR guidelines in Canada. For more information, contact your local Pella sales representative or go to energystar.gc.ca.
Pella Corporation is a proud volunteer partner in the Department of Energy's ENERGY STAR program to promote the use of high-efficiency products to save energy and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The Bismarck Lions baseball team took to the road on Monday to face the Prescott Curley Wolves, coming out on the wrong end of an 8-7 decision. Bismarck started strong, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning and another in the top of the second inning to take a 4-0 lead. Prescott would fight back with a run of their own in the bottom of the third and again with a run in the bottom of the fourth to cut the lead to 4-2.
For the full story, see Tuesday's Malvern Daily Record.
On Friday, the Malvern Leopards baseball team played host to conference foe Arkansas Baptist and came away with a 6-3 victory. Arkansas Baptist struck first, scoring a run in the top of the second inning to take a 1-0 lead. The Leopards would get on the board for the first time in the bottom of the fourth inning with a run of their own to tie the game. Arkansas Baptist would cut into the lead slightly with a run of their own in the top of the fifth, but from there it was all Malvern.
I had no dog in the fight leading into last night's basketball national championship game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Michigan Wolverines. All I was wanting was a good, close game, and boy, did I ever get just that. I've been going through all of the national championship games I've ever seen and I cannot recall a final that I have enjoyed more than that one since 1994 (for obvious reasons).
For fans of the Arkansas Razorbacks, this has been a long and drawn-out season and many are glad it is finally over. Though there are some of us basketball junkies that love this time of year and mourn its passing. This evening, the last four teams standing will square off to see who gets to play in Monday night's national championship game. Many regard Louisville as the odds-on favorites to win it all, but I think it is anyone's game at this point.

At Staten Island Winery, wine enthusiasts transform into bona fide winemakers. They do so under the guidance of Bob Rando, who holds rank as the winery's owner and as an accredited winemaster. Bob and his team walk aspiring vintners through the process, starting with the crushing of grapes and ending with the bottling of finished products. Participants can even choose what kind of wine they make, either by selecting from the facility's list or coming up with their own blend.
A vineyard-lined drive and the panoramas of the Sourlands provide a feast for the eyes to complement the rich taste of Old York Cellars' wines, which include malbecs, syrahs, and chardonnays. After taking in the sights from beneath a shady umbrella on the expansive, stone-accented patio, oenophiles retreat to a timber-frame tasting room and sample from the award-winning wines and chocolates. To support the community, the vineyard also holds regular art exhibitions, holiday events, and meet-the-artist events.
Brooklyn Winery's team crafts small-batch, artisanal wines in Williamsburg?and if winemaking in an urban environment sounds odd to customers, they can always find out how it works during Tuesday winery tours. The tour guides walk groups through their entire process, from the moment the grapes arrive at the facility to when the cork goes in the final wine bottle, trapping the wine genie inside for good. Of course, the process varies from wine to wine. The team ages some vintages in stainless-steel containers, while the barrel-fermented riesling is aged, predictably, in oak barrels, an old-school technique that originated in prerefrigeration Germany. The result? A quirky riesling with hints of soapstone, mushroom, and honey.
The team doesn't just reclaim old German traditions, though. For their unpretentious 1,200-square-foot wine bar, they also reclaimed most of the building materials. In the cozy, unpretentious bar, visitors sip vintages pulled from wine racks that were once World War II ammo boxes; the walls, meanwhile, were barn wood in a past life, and the bar itself is made from old church pews, completing the aura of modernity rooted in history.
After graduating from Vassar College in 1997, vintner Tom Carroll Jr. continued his education in California, where he taught himself about viticulture and enology to achieve a lifelong dream of opening a winery. Three years later, he returned to his hometown to found Crossing Vineyards on a plot of land situated a short distance from George Washington's Delaware River crossing. The winery mingles historic charm and pastoral surroundings with modern technologies, such as a sterile HVAC bottling system and solar-energy panels. Tom and his parents, also co-owners, built the facility around eco-friendly winemaking practices, such as composting waste and using cover crops, a technique that prevents topsoil erosion and helps vintners sing the young grapevines to sleep.
Crossing Vineyards' European-style wines have won more than 115 awards in both national and international competitions over the past 12 years. The winery offers tastings and wine-pairing classes in an onsite educational area and hosts an annual summer wine-and-music series on its sprawling, 15-acre property.

Yup. There has to be SOME reason why we have the most gyms, trainers (sorry), etc and are one of the fattest nations around. I lived in Switzerland for almost 4 years and barely saw anyone in the gym. People in there were guys bulking up and Americans. Virtually NO french/swiss women. Hmmmm
Damndest thing about my wife. She's the only person I've ever known who can actually eat just one potato chip. I'm serious.
In addition to eating the foods "you're supposed to eat", she eats lots of the foods "you're not supposed to eat." But she eats comparatively little food overall and eats it slowly. She's also on her feet a lot. And one or two weekends a month she'll go crazy with arduous yardwork. Otherwise, she never exercises and her blood pressure's like 3/2. Seriously, it's like 88/64.

CHANDIGARH: Alleged embezzlement of funds in Hisar region of the state forest department has now come under the scanner of Punjab and Haryana high court, which on Wednesday issued notices to Union ministry of environment and forests, chief secretary, Haryana and director, state vigilance bureau to respond to the issue.
Three IFS officers of Haryana -- V K Jhanjharia, M M Joshi and M L Rajwanshi -- have also been issued notices to file their replies in the matter.
The notices were issued by a division bench of justices M M Kumar and R N Raina while hearing a PIL alleging large scale bungling in afforestation projects in Haryana, funded by Ccentral government and international donor agencies.
The PIL alleged that in one such case at Jui-Meethathal feeder, Hisar, as many as six enquiries by different IFS officers had confirmed the embezzlement, but no action was taken against the accused because of their nexus with political masters. On November 30, 2010, on the directions of the high court, a vigilance enquiry was initiated in the matter.
Following HC directions, a high powered central government inquiry committee also found the three officers guilty and in January 28 this year, it directed the chief secretary to take action against them and send an action taken report. The PIL submitted that instead of taking action, two officers indicted in the report -- Joshi and Jhanjharia -- were kept posted as incharges of same areas and not shifted out.
The PIL also alleged the chief secretary extended the deadline for completion of enquiry four times and the last deadline expired on July 13 this year. Surprisingly, after that, neither the chief secretary extended the deadline nor vigilance bureau submitted its report. This proves the clout of the accused officers, the PIL alleged.
Seeking the intervention of HC, the PIL sought directions for completion of enquiry by the vigilance bureau as well as Haryana government, to ensure fairness and to transfer officials facing enquiry over embezzlement so that they are not able to influence the inquiry. The case would now come up for further hearing on February 21.

I'm really considering a tub with air jets, but I'm concerned that it's going to feel like I'm sitting in soda water...tickling bubbles. I think that would be annoying. I can't find a showroom that has tubs that I can put my arm in and get a feel for it.
For those who have one, can you tell me if it's all tickly or do you feel some motion from the air jets? Thanks. |

Soda water tickling bubbles are found in the Kohler Effervescence feature & Jason Microsilk. Other than that, my experience with air tubs has been lots of powerful bubbles all at once all around the tub that give you an allover therapeutic (I would say similar to a deep tissue) massage. If you go to the Bain Ultra site, they have a link with hotels/bed & breakfasts that have their tubs in them where you can rent a room and try them out if you like. Think of it as a mini-vacation with the opportunity to give a potential future tub a test drive. Hope this helps! |

We have an MTI infinity tub (Caribe I think it is called) w/ air jets. They are definitely not tiny bubbles. When on full-blast, they are just as jetty as jacuzzi tubs I have been in. They can also be turned down for a gentler experience. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my air tub. It is one of my favorite things about my new house! |
I had a Jason Air Masseur tub with air holes all around the bottom edge in my last house. I loved it, I so much prefer it to a jetted tub with just a few powerful jets. Not tickly at all. |
- Posted by akcorcoran (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 0:28
i know it's been a while since this was posted, but I've heard that the air jets can feel a little chilly in that the air may be heated (in some options) but as it goes up and escapes, so does the warmth - vs a whirlpool that is adding warm water to your tub while you're in it? Can either of the Air jet lovers speak to that experience, yea or nea? Thanks! |

We live in a chilly climate and our air jet tub does not noticeably cool the water. |

Everyone associates Jackie Kennedy with an impeccable sense of fashion, but she also exercised her design muscles in the White House. Her renovation and restoration of the White House's grandeur had a lasting impact on American historic homes. James Archer Abbott, author of Designing Camelot: The Kennedy White House Restoration gives readers insight into the key players in the Kennedy Renovation of the White House. Come to hear him speak at "Camelot Chic: A Conversation with James Archer Abbott" this Thursday at 11:30 at Salem Five in the Community Room.
Renovation, not Redecoration
"It would be sacrilege to merely redecorate it [the White House]…It must be restored, and that has nothing to do with decoration. That is a question of scholarship," Jackie Kennedy
Due the Kennedy's efforts the first White House Historical Association was created to help publicize the heritage of the president's house. They designated the White House a museum to help preserve it, putting in place a fine arts committee to accept gifts of antique furniture. Henry Dupont, a renowned collector of Americana and Stephen Boudin, a Parisian designer of the House of Jansen, were to make major contributions to the renovation.
Come to hear Abbott's insights about Dupont and Boudin and the groundbreaking influence on the Kennedy renovation on American design at large. The Kennedy's renovation of the White House elevated it as a model for historic homes all over the country, and one can find impact of it right here in the North Shore.
Following the lecture, attendees will be invited to an exclusive tour of the White Silbee House, which boast Zuber et Cie Wallpaper, historic panoramic wallpaper similar to the wallpaper that continues to hang in the White House Diplomatic Room and Dining Room to date.
Event Details:
Time: 12:30
Date: Thursday, April 4, 2013
Location: The Community Room, Salem Five, 210 Essex Street, Salem, MA
Space is limited. Reserve by emailing email@example.com. Make your subject line "Camelot Chic."
This event is hosted by The Bowditch Institute, French American Intercultural Relations and Exchanges (FAIRE), and The Salem Maritime Museum.
Sponsors include: Salem Five, Wilson Kelly Design
Bernard's Jewelry, Landri & Acari, Helen F. Sides (Architect), the Kensington Stobart Gallery, Beautiful Things, Merry Fox Realty, The Marine Arts Gallery, and Lilly McCrea Design

$12 Ages 7–18, General admission only
Children 6 and under free, General admission only
Glen Hansard last appeared on the Park Theater stage in 2010 with Marketa Irglova as The Swell Season. The two rocketed to fame following the hit indie film Once (2008), which was loosely based on Hansard's life as a street musician in Dublin. Hansard and Irglova starred in the movie and wrote and performed the music that was central to the story. Their composition "Falling Slowly" won the Oscar for Best Original Song, which they memorably performed at the Academy Awards ceremony.
But Hansard's exceptional and soulful songwriting and performing style was established earlier as the frontman for the popular Irish band The Frames, with whom he recorded many albums and still performs. A devotee of Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Van Morrison, he released his first solo album, Rhythm and Repose, last year to critical acclaim.
"Glen Hansard is a gifted, emotive frontman who sings as if he must, with a heart on his sleeve that is constantly throbbing."—New York Times
"Hansard can still make the rafters shake."—NPR Music

MP: I think the particular play that you're talking about, obviously we've got to execute better and coach better the call that we were in. Defense is called to try to stop any particular play that they can throw at us or run at us and we've just got to go out and execute and perform it at a higher level. I can't really say that an extra defender or an extra player here or there would have helped us, but we've got to obviously do a better job overall from coaching and playing to just handling the situation and the play better.
Q: As a result of some of the big plays yesterday, was it more of a technique thing or a mental thing?
MP: I think you're probably going to look at both when you go back and take a look at it. 'What could we have done from an awareness standpoint that was better?' and 'What could we have done from a technique standpoint that was better?' So you need to improve on both because it just wasn't good enough.
Q: It looked like early in the game you guys rolled out some three-man fronts with
MP: I think we're just trying to put the best people we can on the field in all the different situations. Everything that we do, we have multiple role players on our defense, so we're just trying to get those best scenarios out there and put those guys in the [right] situation. It's really not one factor or another; it's really, more or less, the multiplicity of our packages.
Q: Along the same lines, what went into the decision to replace
MP: I think we try to play as many guys as we can and everyone that is active for the game is going to have a role for that particular game and get out there have an opportunity to play. So, we're certainly going to take all the guys that are active and get them out there and try to get some opportunities and some plays out of them and certainly we do that every week.
Q: The Jets have kind of ramped things up with their ground and pound style. Does that pose a concern now that they have showed they can run the ball effectively?
MP: I think the Jets had an excellent performance and certainly their running game is going to be a huge challenge for us to prepare for, so that will be a big thing we'll have to put a point of emphasis on and try to make sure we can handle. Certainly, this will be a big week for us here: an opponent within the division, which ultimately are huge and crucial games for us. So, we'll have our work cut out for us and we'll have to be on these guys as soon as possible here. Every week is a new challenge and obviously it's the NFL, so every opponent is extremely difficult to prepare for.
Q: There are some injuries in the secondary with
MP: Obviously, around here we take injuries day by day. We're just always going to try to put the best people we can out on the field in the best situation we can, so I think we'll just kind of handle it the same way we always do.

Hello ~
I am looking for this cultivar. I am waiting for responses from Beaver Creek Nursery, Arrowhead Alpines. I am wondering if anyone has/knows of seed producing '24 Below' or knows of a small local nursery that may have some in stock. I am thinking of those nurseries that so small that they do not have mail order - we can work out the details if you know of one and you would like to help me find '24 Below'. Thanks,

I'm not sure why this is on the Tennessee Forum. See the following link to the same message posted on the Trees Forum for any responses: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/trees/msg1009493919472.html?8 |

brandon7 ~ this is why this is on the Tennessee Forum. The original tree is from the Knoxville garden of Dr. Frank Galyon and it has been propagated. I am positive that it could found locally or statewide in TN. That is why I posted on the Tennessee and Trees Forums. I am quite interested in acquiring this form of Magnolia grandiflora. I hope this cleared up your "confusion" as I check both forums for responses. |

Well -- ya taught me something new today. It seems Frank Galyon is a big deal in magnolia breeding, possibly also daffodil and iris breeding (I didn't search long enough to really establish these two). And right here in Knoxville! We ought to ask him to talk at a swap. :-) But don't assume that the plant you're looking for is available around here. After all, its claim to fame is its cold hardiness -- which we don't have much call for in TN. OTOH, there is at least one very knowledgeable rare woody collector here on the forum occasionally, who lives in this area -- Mark, aka plantcollector -- and he may know where to look for rare magnolias. I don't have his email handy, but you can run a GW search on his user name. Good luck in your search! |

BTW -- McCracken Nursery in NC had it in their 2004 list. Not in their 2006 list, but they may know where to get it. Check their web site for contact info. |
Amazindirt, Dr. Galyon passed away earlier this year. He hybridized magnolias, daylilies, iris, camellias, and daffodils. |

BTW, Gerry, are you by any chance of the Magnolia Yahoo group? I am, and if you would like, I could request leads from that group. All the big names in Magnolias are on there regularly. Let me know if you already have access to the group or if you want me to post a request to our group. |

brandon ~ I did not know of the Magnolia Yahoo group. I would appreciate it if you could post that for me - Thank you amazindirt ~ - in 1985 the record low was -24 and the tree survived this temp and that is why I am interested in this clone... I will check out and contact McCracken Nursery and Mark AKA plant collector... |
'k Gerry, I posted a plea for ya. |
I've located a source and am making arrangements for you to contact them. I will email you privately as soon as I get the details. With Gardenweb's poor email forwarding reliability, you may want to email me if you don't hear from me within a couple of days. |

brandon ~ I just heard from Brenda of Beaver Creek Nursery in Knoxville. I placed an order for 2 two gallon '24 Below' that are respectively 18" and 2' tall. I really appreciate your efforts and willingness to " go out on a limb" for my efforts to locate this cultivar. I already have Edith Bogue & Bracken' s Brown Beauty from Forest Farm. Pocano from Rarefind Nursery and an unnamed M. grandiflora cultivar sent from Appalachian Gardens (Waynesboro, PA - now Wholesale only) sent in error for M. macrophylla that is about 4' tall and growing well. Please forward the source that you located. Thanks ~ Gerry |
Apparently grandiflora is being grown with success in Cincinnati and I have read of potential success in New York City. Apparently Little Gem has been displaying good cold hardiness thus far. It is interesting to note that a cultivar produced in Knoxville is rather unknown in its place of origin. Is this a highly sought after cultivar for northern growers seeking to push the limits of grandiflora? It is also interesting to note that a large proportion of grandifloras apparently survived the 1985 winter here in Knoxville, as evidenced by massive specimens throughout the Knoxville area. Could grandiflora be hardier overall than it has previously been given credit? |
Myrtleoak, the hardiness of M. grandiflora is fairly well understood. Afterall people have had quite a few years to study this fairly common species. Plants with unknown hardiness ratings are usually very uncommon species, newly discovered species, or species that seem to have a wide variation in hardiness among the species. The cutlivar '24 Below' is not (obvious from this thread) extremely popular but is present in a lot of the literature. The reason it is thought to be slightly more cold hardy is because it survived that cold spell as a baby. Large well established trees are able to take a LOT more cold than small seedlings. |
I was fairly young in 1985. Does anyone remember any of the aftermath from a horticultural standpoint? What survived that was surprising and what bit the dust unexpectedly? |

Gerry, you found a great tree source here in Knoxville with Beaver Creek nursery! I have no affiliation with them, but we have called on them many times for questions and sources for hard to find trees, especially conifers and have sent many folks their way also. My husband and I were fortunate to have known Dr. Galyon for several years before he passed. It became an annual spring passage to visit his place when the magnolias and daffodils were in bloom. I have linked to a webshots album of his place the last time we visited in March 2005. He was a wonderful person and is greatly missed. Rebecca |

I recieved my Magnolia grandiflora '24 Below' from Beaver Creek Nursery on Thursday, November 8. The trees are beautiful, but due to the approach of winter, I shall overwinter in a safe place and plant in spring. I recommend those of you fortunate to be able to drive there to go and check Beaver Creek Nursery for your gardening needs. Thanks to all with my efforts in locating M.g. '24 Below' and I shall give updates on my Southern Magnolia' s growth in the future here in the Buffalo, NY area. ~ Gerry |

Hi there
Pruning my meyer lemon and orange trees and hate to lose the leaves, may need them when the GSTs come this spring. Is it possible to freeze them? Thanks!

You could, but then when they thawed out, they'd undoubtedly be limp and mushy, and the chemicals that the GSTs need would probably be gone. Pruning encourages lots of new growth, though, and that's what the Mama butterflies look for to lay their eggs on, so, unless your trees are very small and you scalp them, pruning would be beneficial. It's dangerous to over prune a real young tree, might kill it. Sherry |
Some leaves can last a LONG time in ziploc bags in the fridge. Late last month, I threw out maple, walnut, and sweetgum leaves I put in the fridge months ago. The maple leaves were still good (I KNOW not all maples will do this). I'd say toss your leaves in the fridge (not the freezer) and see what happens. Even if the leaves do hold up, I don't know that the GST cats will eat them. Not all caterpillars will use refrigerated leaves. Monarchs have always done it for me. This past autumn, I found that polyphemus, cecropia, and Io would rather starve. |
Thanks everyone. These are established trees and will probably go crazy in the spring, so I will not worry. I may try the fridge thing though!! Thx. |

Commander Shepard's intricate tale will get another wrinkle on August 28 when the Mass Effect 3 Leviathan downloadable content goes on sale. BioWare revealed the release date for the DLC today across the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, though European PS3 owners will need to wait until August 29 for it to appear on PlayStation Network.
Leviathan's new missions unfold roughly in the middle of the game and see Shepard chasing clues to the existence of a mythical reaper-killing creature, as seen in the GameSpot preview viewable below. The events that unfold thereafter will have an impact on the Extended Cut versions of the game's controversial endings.
The DLC will cost $10 (800 Microsoft points) and is the third to add on to the events of the single-player game, after the day-one release From Ashes and June's Extended Cut.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Athienides, Despina email@example.com URN etd-05182005-112337 Document Title Re-inhabiting the void Degree MArch(Prof) Department Architecture Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof K A Bakker Committee Chair Keywords
- cooling towers
- edge city
- adaptive re-use
Date 2005-05-18 Availability unrestricted Abstract The challenge of this project is to turn a large residual empty space into a public place, a truly relational space. The site was decided upon first, and within its vastness the spirit of the surroundings arose which in turn gave birth to the development programme. At the stage where a site was chosen, no particular functional theme other than that of "adaptive reuse" existed. Located in the industrial sector of Pretoria West, the site was chosen for its ability to stun the visitor to silence with its scale and grandeur. Currently housing the Pretoria West Power Station, the visitor is confronted by structures which appear to be beyond the realm of human interaction. The dissertation explored the transformation of "urban void" to a public place where events can be held. This proposed events centre thrusts the landscape into the intervention, blurring the thresholds between inside and outside. The building itself has little regard for the boundaries imposed on it by the site. Purposely ignoring these limitations, the building extends its boundaries over the lake, creating space above untouched territory. The design aims to fragment the intervention into smaller experiences, which allows the visitor to engage more intimately with the intervention. This project addressed the issues of visual contact.© 2005, University of Pretoria. All rights reserved. The copyright in this work vests in the University of Pretoria.

Over the weekend I decided to overhaul my whole blog. I gave it a new theme and a new look, hopefully resolving some of the issues I was having with it. It took most of my "free" time to get it completed, eating up any time I had for writing new content. If only I had an IT person and didn't have to muddle my way through!
Since I want to keep up the momentum and share a new blog post each week, I thought I would share a kids yoga fan favorite…THE YOGA SLIDE. They love it! The kids in my classes request it and ask to do it again. The song is on Haris Lender's (Kidding Around Yoga) Namaste 'n Play CD. She does go a bit fast in parts, but the kids don't seem to notice. They have a ball! If it is not part of your kids yoga repertoire, it should be. It has become a part of my "bag of tricks" and I use it ALOT!
To download the song, click on the Namaste 'n Play cover below:
This is a video Petit Papillon Yoga shared on Facebook in August (video quality is not great, but still the best I found to demonstrate the song)…
Have fun with it…we do
