Can't believe it is almost a year since I last wrote in the journal. Although I have ben following Garden IE on Facebook.
Last year as we all know it was the most awful summer. The garden got away from us as the year progressed. It was just impossible to keep it in order. My husband found grass cutting a trial.
Despite this I had some plants which did well. I actually managed to have a good crop of tomatoes despite lack of sun.
I was out gardening this afternoon as it was sunny and there was a little warmth. It feels good to start tidying beds and seeing all the spring bulbs coming up.
Well this year we are going to have a brilliant summer! Gardeners are always optomistic.
I have ordered my seeds from the Irish Garden Plant Society so hoping for a good gardening year.
Last garden photos of 2011
Can't believe it is so long since I have written anything. Where do the weeks go? Too much time spent on Facebook.
I have had 3 or 4 sessions in the garden already this year. Mostly cutting back and weeding. We tackled the Bay Tree and cut off all the dead branches from last winter. All now waiting to be shredded.
I have also been potting up lupins in the greenhouse and penstemons that I grew from cuttings. The penstemons are in the house to protect them from the cold.
The Witch Hazel flowered from Christmas Day and the snowdrops, crocus, primroses and irises are going strong at the moment. Lets hope there will not be much snow.
I have sweet pea seeds ready to sow . This time of the year all the new cataloguies are coming in. Great temptation!
Starting to think about Hillsborough Horticultural Society's Spring Show on 31st March and helping to plan for the Irish Garden Plant Societys AGM which the Northern Group are planning this year 12th and 13th May.
Off out into the garden wwhile the sun is still shining.
Bay Tree survives
I thought the Bay Tree had totally died but lots of new shoots are now appearing. Need to cut all the dead branches of now and shred them.
Of the 4 beds we cleared last year I have managed to replant one. This was done in June and has now filled out really well. Cerinthes are especially good.
Some beds have been in good order this year,others need a lot of work. Liatris flowering at the moment and Verbena Bonarenis . They were covered with Peacock and Tortiseshell butterflies this afternoon when the sun came out briefly.
Have been transplanting Delphiniums, Ranunculus, Echinacea, Foxgloves, Canterbury Bells and Lupins. I have also planted over 100 wallflowers in the border at the front of the house.
We had 20 lbs of strawberries from 2 raised beds. Just had them for desert every night. Now need to tidy them up for next year. Lots of crab apples this year so jelly making will be on the cards soon.
1st weekend in September is the Hillsborough Autumn Show so plenty of work to be done before them. It is open to the public from 2 4.30 and is the Village Centre in Hillsborough. Anyone who is up North would be very welcome. Teas and plant stall.
My frozen shoulder is still giving bother but nothing like it was a few months ago. Physio is finished but I am still doing exercises every day.
At last new computer is up and running and I am experimenting adding photos of the garden. These were taken last year and this year. More to follow.
Hoping for a bumper crop of strawberries this year.
I suddenly realised today that I hadn't posted anything for a long time.Main problem has been that I tripped over a box in the house on the 18th January and dislocated my shoulder which was excruciatingly painful. This has turned into a frozen shoulder so I am still having physio and doing exercises. I haven't driven since this happened.
Naturally it has slowed up gardening work but it is amazing the weeding you can do with one hand. Fortunately I am right handed. I instruct Jeffrey about what needs moved or lifted.
Our cherry trees were magnificant this year and the lilac is in full bloom at the moment. I lost a lot of plants during the winter. In fact my bay tree which is almost 40ft high is totally brown. There are a few green shoots in the centre but I don't know if it will regenrate.. I have been busy seed sowing in the greenhouse and have cosmos and cornflowers coming up. Edelweis which I grew from seed two years ago have actually flowered this year. The primroses have done well and I had masses of bluebells (native ones) which are just going over. Amazingly enough a fuchsia in the ground has survived and is starting to grow again. We had a wonderful display of daffodils this year. Any planted in pots just rotted but the tulips fared better.
All the fuchsias which were in pots in the greenhouse all died but it gives me an excuse to buy more.
One of the beds we cleared last year is just about ready for planting. We planted 2 raised beds of strawberries last year and there is a mass of flowers on them. Heres hoping we get to them before the birds do.
I have been told it takes nine months to a year for frozen shoulders to come right so I have a little way to go yet. Will do a smuch as I can in the garden.
I have a new notebook computer so hopefully I will be able to get some photographs posted at last.
If anyone is up North you will always be welcome to come and see the arden. Bye for now, Hilary
I can hardly believe I haven't written anything since July. Where have those 6 months gone. I had a walk round the garden today and noticed some daffodil shoots coming up. Hopefully the predicted snow for tomorrow won't be as bad as last time. I actually lost plants in the porch at the front of the house. It was just so cold despite heat being on. The plants in the conservatory at the back have so far all survived. Extra heat on there.
My husband hired a mini digger in the summer and we cleared out 4 beds which had got totally weed invested and out of control. Now we need to hire a skip to get rid of all the rubbish. First task for this year and replant the beds which I am looking forward to doing.
I have been feeding the birds all winter and it is lovely to watch them. Unfortunately one of cats takes a too healthy interest in ornithology. We have pheasants which are bred at the top of the road and come down for extra supplies.
I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon marking up free seed lists ready for this years season. I ususally end up ordering more that I need.
Happy New Year to everyone and lets hope for a super gardening season in 2011. Our local horticultural society show is already being planned for the first weekend in April.
Best wishes,
I don't know where the time has gone since I last wrote an entry. The summer seems to be flying past and the weeds are still growing.
I had a visit in May from 2 garden IE members who were at Hillsborough and it was great to see them. It was a very warm and sunny day.
Since then we have had a conservatory built at the back of the house. It is now filled with plants. Cacti on one side and streptocarpus on the other. Nice for morning coffee and the odd read in the afternoon.
About a month ago my husband hired a digger and we cleared out 4 beds which were very overgrown. Now we need a skip ffor all the rubbish to be taken away. Then the beds can be rotivated before the fun of replanting.
I have been very busy in the rest of the garden this year and have grown a lot of Wallflowers and Canterbury Bells from seed. Also sowed a packet of carnations which all came up. I am growing beetroot for the first time this year so it will be interesting to see how they do. We also put in 2 raised beds for strawberries and hope by next year we will have a good crop.
I divided my Meconopis (the dark blue one a few weeks ago and have now got 12 plants instead of 3. I n fact the house is starting to look like a garden centre there are so many pots around. I have also provided plants for at least 3 charity sales during the year.
We still haven't got any photos of the garden on the computer. I am hoping to get a new one before Christmas. This one is too out of date.
Having a weekend in Bristol in the beginning of August and we hope to visit the National Botanic Garden of Wales and Aberglasney. We have been to them both before but it is quite awhile ago.
As I write this the bulb catalogues are starting to come in. More temptation. The Hillsborough Horticultural Society Show is the first weekend in September. More work!!
We have been enjoying all this wonderful weather and working every spare minute in the garden trying to cope with 2 years of wet summers and weed growth. I reckon I have still about 5 beds which haven't been touched yet and an area we call the damp garden which needs a lot of work. Although there is a beautiful marsh marigold in flower there at the moment. Next month there should be lots of bluebells out in this area.
Hillsborough Show went well at the end of March despite very few daffodil entries. They Just weren't out. It was a nice day and we had a lot of floral art entries and lots of visitors in the afternoon and a successful plant sale. Total collapse for me on the Saturday evening.
The garden has certainly blossomed these past few weeks. Daffodils are out in profusion. Our Magnolia Stellata is just about to flower and the cherry tree which normally flowers at the beginning of March is just coming out. I have started calling in to our local garden centre down the road to buy compost and plants. Things are definately improving. Our primroses are flowering well in the gravel round the house.
I had ordered some plant plugs, Rudbeckia, Gaillardia and Antirrinhums. These have all been potted up. They are still in the greenhouse just in case of more cold and frost. Most of my mini hostas which were overwintered in the greenhouse seem to have survived and are showing new shoots.
I started watering my cactus plants at the end of March. They are still inside but will evntually go out to the greenhouse or our new conservatory which has arrived but isn't built yet.
Still haven't got any photographs uploaded but hope to get a new computer this year and then we can start putting some on. What I did do for the first 11 years of the garden was to put an album together to show the development of the garden. It is interesting to look back on. All we had when we moved in were a few trees including a lovely mature oak but no flowers whatsoever.
I have been keeping weeding and clearing. We both tackled some overgrown shrubs at the weekend and have acquired more planting space.
I have also been busy with preparations for the Hillsborough Horticulural Society Show which is on the 27th March iun the Village Centre in Hillsborough. It is open to the public from 2.00pm and there will be a plant stall and teas.The Show will host the Amateur Daffodil Society of Ireland award.
This week on Wednesday Jekka Mc Vicker will be giving the Horticulural Lecture of the year in the Island Centre in Lisburn.
Saturday we have a National Trust Ulster Gardens Scheme lunch in Mount Stewart.
In between all these activities I will be gardening as much as I can. We have a local small gartden centre about 5 minutes from where we live. Temptation is great. I wa sin today for bird food and spied a lot of new plants in so I think there will be a return visit this week. I bought the really dark blue poppies from him 2 years ago and they flowered really well last year. Hope they have survived this winter. If they do I will split them this year and start some more.
I haven't sown any seeds yet but will be doing so soon. We are about to purchase raised beds from B and Q for our strawberry plants. I managed to get nearly 40 plants from some seeds which the birds had dropped.
I think it is to be a good day tomorrow so more weeding!
I have spent quite a few days out in the garden when it wasn't raining or frosty. At the moment a year's neglect seems like Everest. I tacked two beds last weekend which were totally covered with creeping buttercups. In an 1 1/2 hours a small area was cleared but I will keep going.
There are lots os snowdrops out and Iris Katherine Hodgkin. Also the Witch Hazel is in full bloom. Much later than normal. It is usually out at Christmas. My purple Hazel has pink catkins.
I am being beguiled by seed catalogues as usual and always end up with more seeds than I sow. We have quite a few trees to plant this year. Never done in a hurry as Jeffrey likes to really think about where the tree is going to go. This could take a year of thinking. These trees have been waiting 2years so far.
I am busy getting the Hillsborough Spring Show organised, judges, schedules, sponsors etc. It is on the 27th March in the Village Centre in Hillsborough. Open to the public at 2.00pm. Teas and plant stall.
I see there is talk of snow and frost tonight again. Hopefully we are almost at the end of this.
If anyone happens to be up North on the 29th April, there is a plant sale at Clanmurry, Lower Quilly Road, Dromore. It is from 7.00pm onwards. Proceds to Christian Aid and an orphanage in Bangladesh.

Have just read a wonderful book instead of working in the garden!! My excuse is the weather hasn't been too good this week and I had a birthday yesterday having reached that magical age in the Lennon and Mc Cartney song.
It is The Morville Hours by Katherine Swift. Katherine took a lease on the Dower House at Morville in Shropshire for 20 years and has created a beautiful garden. Before that she had worked as a rare books librarian in Oxford and Trinity College.
The book describes the making of the garden but also contains some of her family history. It is in the form of a Medieval Book of Hours. Definately recommended reading.
Managed to get the first outing into the garden yesterday and spent 3 hours weeding the border at the front of the house. I can now see the bulbs starting to appear such as snowdrops and Iris Katherine Hodgkin.
Lots more weeding and clearing to do.
I ventured into the greenhouse this week as it was the first time I was able to get the door open. It had frozen. Discovered that all my Aeoniums had turned up there toes. I had about 30 -40 plus 1 of the black ones. It has been so cold here that I shouldn't have been surprised.
However I have a friend who grows them and she will root some more for me.
Witch Hazel is just starting to come out. Normally it is in flower by Christmas. Lots of bulbs appearing. Also my Iris Katherine Hodgkin is nearly in flower.
Went to an interesting lecture by Joan Mc Caughey of the Alpine Society about travels in mountains in a former part of Russia.
Today it feels warm . Hopefully the worst of the cold has gone!! A lot of plant catalogues coming in and lots that I would like to grow this year.
Still waiting waiting for Jeffrey to organise photographs. One of these days.
At this time of the year I start to get itchy fingers and long to be outside in the garden. Not much chance with the weather we have had recently.
I have planted a lot of bulbs in pots and there are actually primroses in flower at the moment. Also my Viburnum "Dawn" is in full flower.
I am just about to order some free seeds from various socieites that I belong to and earlier this year I bought Edelweiss seeds from Thompson and Morgans after seeing pots of the growing in Switzerland in the summer.
I have lots of photos of our garden which when my husband gets organised we will put on the computer.

It is probably just me, but do people actually care about music in levels. I just notice that it is often mentioned a lot in your reveiws, that it would have been good to have had some custom music, etc, etc. To me it doesn't make one scrap of difference. One of the first things I do when setting up a new game is turn the music off. I have never played any game with the music on, ever. I did however listen to the music track for the original Need For Speed on the Platstation way back when, but not in game.
Just curious, thats all.

S.Korea bank supervision law clears hurdle; regulator upset
SEOUL, Dec 7 (Reuters) – A bill to hand South Korea's central bank a role in supervising banks cleared a big hurdle on Monday, earning immediate rebuke from the top financial regulator.
The National Assembly's powerful finance committee gave its blessing to the bill allowing the Bank of Korea to conduct its own probe into banks as part of a new role aimed at maintaining financial stability.
The central bank lost its powers to supervise financial institutions in the aftermath of the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis. They were handed to the newly created regulator, the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
"It is a pity and it is regrettable that the revised Bank of Korea act passed the finance committee," FSC chairman Chin Dong-soo told reporters. "The government is opposed to this revised act."
Banks also criticised the bill, saying it would add to their burdens. [ID:nSEO127240] [ID:nSEO194897]
"Giving grounds for the Bank of Korea to require a joint investigation in relation to financial market stability will increase banks' workload and harm their management efficiency," the Korea Federation of Banks said in a statement.
The bill still has to be approved by the judiciary committee before a full parliamentary vote.
Under current law, the central bank must go through the FSC and its implementing agency, the Financial Supervisory Service, if it wants access to detailed information on financial firms, including their foreign securities holdings and other investments.
Pressure to change the law comes after criticism last year that the authorities were slow in dealing with market jitters about the foreign debt exposure of local banks.

The managing director of PlayStation UK has said that while he has "no doubt that people will be interested in Wii U", he feels Nintendo's pitch for its next console lacks a clear focus.
Speaking in an interview with CVG Fergal Gara said the PS3 - which is positioning itself to pick up a bigger casual market share this holiday season is not going to be in direct competition with Wii U.
"I don't think it'll be the same market," he said
Gara went on to say he feels confident the Wii U would generate interest at launch but said its software line-up makes it hard to identify a medium-term strategy.
"I think it's going to be interesting to see what market will pick it up. I have no doubt that people will be interested in the Wii U at launch. What the medium-term looks like, I don't think we know enough about what consumers will think.
"If you look at the spread of the software, I think it gives a very broad message, from Nintendo's own products to core current-gen games. But will Call of Duty fans want to play Call of Duty on the Wii U? I've no idea. It feels like a stretch from the market they've been in. So clearly Nintendo is going for a broad proposition."
With no obvious killer app and Nintendo casting a wide net, Gara admitted Sony was having a hard time nailing down Nintendo's strategy. As always, it is looking to consumers as its barometer.
"I've yet to meet someone who has picked out the killer experience. But it's the market that will decide so we'll watch it with interest.
"Even we find it hard to judge the potential of the Wii U. Clearly people like getting their hands on it, but I just don't have much info on how many people want to buy it in the medium-term."

Otis Redding: The Immortal Otis Redding
Published: Oct 27, 2010
In the book I'm writing, I'm approaching the moment when everything skids south and a very nice man is brought to his knees. It's not like he did anything "wrong" or "evil." He has only the best intentions; he just miscalculated. As did his wife — yes, his wife is right there with him. And then she isn't. And he finds himself alone. On his knees. Broken.
hang your clothes in the closet.
You're forgetting one thing —
I'm the one who saved you
From a long lonely life.
I'm the one who gave you
Your first taste to paradise
Look how you're payin' me back
Look how you're packin' your bag
Please don't do me like this, honey
All this good love you're gonna miss
Think about it, honey
You really ought to think about it
'fore you leave
It's hard to be that simple, that direct, that naked — it's hard for a man to beg. But listen, for that is exactly what Otis does.

Your Surrogate Baby is Born… Now What?!
by: Melissa Baranowski
The baby is born, the parents are thrilled and your job as their surrogate…is over. Now what?
For me, leaving the hospital was bittersweet. . I was saying goodbye to the little person that I had shared my body with for nearly a year. Knowing in a few days he would be thousands of miles from me. I never wanted to keep him; babies aren't really my favorite thing. I just had a sense of loss, like when you have a job that you LOVE and you go to work one day and your boss tells you that you are fired. Surrogacy had been such a huge part of my life for the past year, I felt like I didn't know me anymore without the belly and the story.
My Intended Parents were not there at the time, which may have actually been for the best, looking back on it. Instead I was faced with grandparents that I had only met a few days prior. They didn't know me, and I didn't know them. When I held Baby P for the last time at the hospital I started to cry. I had such love for him and I was so proud of what I had done, that the only thing I could do was cry. Grandma looked at me like I might dash out of the room with him and never come back. That wasn't it…at all. I just needed to grieve the loss. The loss of my "job" and the loss of the relationship between me and my IPs. I knew now that their baby was here, things between us would change.
When I left the hospital my husband took me out for lunch…time to move on and get back to real life. I cried through the entire meal. I was miserable company. I got a phone call from one of my IPs during lunch. I could barely keep it together. It took all I had to not break down on the phone. I am sure he thought that I was never going to be okay. But I was.
In the days that followed I got many updates and photos about Baby P. He and his family were staying about 40 minutes from me. I was pumping and Grandpa would drive out and pick up milk every other day or so. I had lunch (without tears) with my IPs and visited Baby P at their hotel afterward. No tears. I did cry again on the day they left for home. There was going to be a lot of distance between us, and now it would be up to them to determine how involved I would continue to be in Baby P's life.
I lucked out. I have kept in contact with my IPs and received photos, emails and texts over that past year that make me beam with pride. I was a surrogate. I created that family. No one can ever take that away.

What A Year
Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and Surface: Those three product introductions summed up Microsoft's triumphs and challenges in 2012. Windows is Microsoft's flagship product and cash cow, and the new release seeks to maintain the company's desktop dominance while supporting efforts to move into mobile computing. Windows Phone 8 and Surface represent the company's efforts to become a player in smartphones and tablet computers -- two areas where the company badly lags competitors.
Those weren't the only Microsoft news stories in 2012, of course. Executives came and went, some voluntarily, some not so much. New products were launched, and the company accelerated its efforts to migrate channel partners to the cloud. Here's what we think were the top Microsoft news stories for the year.

Generic Name: ziprasidone (Intramuscular route)
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death compared with placebo. Although the causes of death in clinical trials were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. It is unclear from these studies to what extent the mortality findings may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to patient characteristics. Ziprasidone mesylate is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis .

Proper Use of Geodon
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine. This medicine is given as a shot into one of your muscles.
Your doctor will give you a few doses of this medicine until your condition improves, and then switch you to an oral medicine that works the same way. If you have any concerns about this, talk to your doctor.
Precautions While Using Geodon
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
This medicine can cause changes in the heart rhythm, such as a condition called QT prolongation. It may change the way your heart beats and cause fainting or serious side effects. Call your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of heart rhythm problems, such as fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeats.
Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms while using this medicine: convulsions (seizures), difficulty with breathing, a fast heartbeat, a high fever, high or low blood pressure, increased sweating, loss of bladder control, severe muscle stiffness, unusually pale skin, or tiredness. These could be symptoms of a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).
This medicine may cause tardive dyskinesia (a movement disorder). Check with your doctor right away if you have lip smacking or puckering, puffing of the cheeks, rapid or worm-like movements of the tongue, uncontrolled chewing movements, or uncontrolled movements of the arms and legs while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may increase the amount of sugar in your blood. Check with your doctor right away if you have increased thirst or increased urination. If you have diabetes, you may notice a change in the results of your urine or blood sugar tests. If you have any questions, check with your doctor.
Ziprasidone injection can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor right away if you think you are getting an infection, or if you have a fever or chills, a cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
If you develop a skin rash, hives, or any allergic reaction to this medicine, stop using the medicine and check with your doctor as soon as possible.
This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy or dizzy, or to have trouble with thinking or controlling body movements. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that requires you to be alert, well-coordinated, or able to think well.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help. If the problem continues or gets worse, check with your doctor.
Avoid activities involving high temperature or humidity. This medicine may reduce your body's ability to adjust to the heat.
Ziprasidone injection may cause some people to be agitated, irritable, or display other abnormal behaviors. It may also cause some people to have suicidal thoughts and tendencies. If you or your caregiver notice any of these side effects, tell your doctor right away.
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are using this medicine.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

Carleton E. Watkins, photographer; Isaiah West Taber, printer American, Oregon, negative: 1867; print: 1881 - 1885 Albumen silver print 21 11/16 x 15 7/8 in. 85.XM.11.31
At the base of the Columbia River Gorge adjacent to the lower falls, Carleton Watkins positioned his 18 x 22-inch camera so that the lens tilted upward. In so doing, he accommodated both the upper and lower falls, the intriguing trunks of various trees, and the face of the gorge itself. The trees on the right seem to tilt as a result of the camera angle he used. Unlike many of the photographs Watkins took on his 1867 expedition to Oregon, his images of Multnomah Falls contain no sky, no negative space. Surrounded by dense forest, simply finding a good viewpoint of the cascades proved difficult.

Sheriff's deputy arrested on obstruction charge
[Waukegan, IL]
(WAUKEGAN, Ill.) – An Illinois sheriff's deputy is behind bars, charged with obstructing an investigation into the disappearance of a business associate.
Rick Spiers, 51, of Waukegan allegedly told employees at a car dealership to destroy documents for a February car auction that bore the name of John Michael Basham of Kenosha. Spiers is one of the owners of the dealership.
Basham was last seen at the dealership in Winthrop Harbor. His body was found a few weeks later in a ditch near the auction in Indiana.
Spiers, a Lake County deputy for 27 years, served as a court security officer.

You may laugh at this film...
..but it is obvious you are echoing a nervous laugh. For all of you who can't accept the shocking fact of actual alien grave robbers, I laugh at you. I hope you all have your favorite loved ones' graves robbed, and then we shall see how long the smile remains on your face. This is one of the most important documentaries of all time.

This Information About Ed Wood Is Wrong
My Mother is Norma E. McCarty, and her marriage to Ed was never annulled.
His marriage to Kathy wasn't legal. My Mother never pursued it because she felt sorry for Kathy, she and Ed were quite the drinkers.
Ed was always good to me, and considered me his son. He also told me that he and my Mother were never divorced, or annulled, their marriage certificate still exists, you can send for a copy.
All you have to do to prove me wrong is print a copy of any legal paper showing an annulment, between Ed and Norma, it doesn't exist.
My Mother should know if her marriage was annulled or not.
Please show any proof.
Thank you,
Michael McCarty

Plan 9... But seriously folks!
Edward D. Woods the consummate optimist. Actually. Hired on the two gravediggers in this light-headed sci-fi horror comedy to get them to fund this classic. You have to see it to appreciate it. Reknowned as one of the best "worst" films.of all.time! Ask Johnny Depp he was so impressed by the writer-producer-director he and Tim Burton did a film on its creation "Ed Wood"! Check it out tonight... if you dare!

Entertaining "Plan 9 from Outer Space"
I saw this film after seeing the movie staring Johnny Depp as Ed Wood. An entertaining film if viewed through the mental set of low budget horror movies. The role of the colonel was played by former B western actor Tom Keene. The part of the General was played by Lyle Talbot who was still very active in supporting roles in television.
wickeccoolvideoguy -
best or worst
I think this is one of the best films as far as a cult films go. Ed Wood was a genius who lacked funds to make his movies.If he had a major studio behind him I think this movie would have been an academy award film for best picture.

Bill-O-Vision Ultimate Fail
It's true.
phantomofkrankor -
Overrated "classic"
Please. This is the favorite bad movie of people who know little about bad movies. "Plan 9" is more like a home movie, and not a very good one at that. For a better example of an amateur film gone commercial, and really earning its cult status, watch "Teenagers From Outer Space" instead.
There is a base requirement of lucidity and coherency for a film to be watchable, and "Plan 9" never comes within striking distance. Ed Wood made better films than this. I'd rather watch "The Sinister Urge" with subtitles than sit through "Plan 9" again.

You can download this movie via Bittorrent from this link:
It's the same file as the mp4 provided here. There are 14 seeders as of now so it's downloading for me in about 15 minutes. Not bad.
LibrivoxOrgFan -
I have always heard this is a spectacularly bad movie. It's just ineptly made. One or two actors show a little enthusiasm-- it seems like no one else cared. There is a difference between low budget and low effort. Where is the spectacular?
There are so many gems in the archive: this is a waste of time.
If you want campy check out any 50s scifi drive in movie.

STILL considered the worst......
The Toronto Star recently did a poll of their readership in which they asked what the worst movie they'd ever seen was - and despite the fact that many, many worse movies have come since (I'm looking at YOU, "Battlefield Earth"! And "Showgirls"! And "Batman And Robin"!) this one was brought up as the worst by a wide margin. The thing about this movie is that those who've seen it either hate it thoroughly or love it to death as a camp classic. I'm in the latter camp - ineptly made, but with a charm that showed that Ed Wood really, really believed in this movie. Many quotable quips by actors who were trying hard (Dudley Manlove was a frustrated radio announcer who really wanted to break in pictures) and some iconic appearances by Tor Johnson, Criswell and Vampira. Sadly Bela's last movie.

Just a stupid movie-that is all it is
I really fail to see what anyone brings away from this junk other than disgust. I can't understand the raving about this film. You can't count on the reviews posted here because some reviewers think that horrible movies are funny or something. Don't waste a disc on this reguardless of what anyone writes about it.
Katusekino | Rooftop Cinema -
Urgent Help requested
Dear uploader of this cult classic,
Writing to you with request for help in our Rooftop Cinema project.
We plan to screen this Ed Wood cult flick under Z-Movies Retrospective in July 2010 in the summer outdoor cinema in Tallinn, Estonia.
As we have w20m x h13m outdoor cinema screen and 15000 ANSI digital Christies projector we would need maximum quality from the screened film´s digital file. The current mpeg file most likely remains little lo-fi for our resolution capacity.
We would like to request from the uploader of this movie to Internet Archive if it would be possible to provide us with UNCOMPRESSED AVI or QUICKTIME FILE as high quality video as possible?
If you would be able to share the file, please contact me directly: aivar [at] katusekino.ee or skype aivarlaan
Looking for any feedback as soon as possible,
Thank you very much in advance,
best rgds,
Aivar Laan

Mr. Lobo sells out!
Now that I've seen the trailer, this seems to be yet another "Dawn/Day/Night/Teatime of the Living Dead" slasher flick of people fighting Zombies.
The orignal Plan 9 is cool. Wade Williams sux!
cosmico -
I've read up on this Plan 9 remake project and have seen the trailer online. It clearly expresses NONE of the simple charm or fun of the Ed Wood original. To remake PLAN 9 is either sheer stupidity, or more likely, just another example of someone trading off the reputation of a much-beloved film from a time long gone, and a filmmaker long-dead. A remake of Plan 9 is a very cynical, unnecessary effort and a cheap shot if you ask me.
As for this "Mr. Lobo" character, I've seen him online as well. Having met and talked to Criswell 40 years ago, I can only state, "Mr. Lobo: you're NO Criswell."
Ed Wood's PLAN 9, for all its awkward silly nonsense, it is delightfully entertaining and great late-night viewing. Not my personal favorite Ed Wood film, but it's certainly his most famous and easiest to enjoy whether you are laughing or scratching your head. It is without a doubt the film that made the man famous, many years beyond his 1978 passing at the age of 54.
Freddie Jaye -
Don't want to turn this into a forum (or a commercial), but I've seen the trailer. The remake will be in color, apparently has a relatively decent budget, and promises to stay true to Ed Wood's intentions.
I imagine it will be the movie that Ed *might have* made if he'd had sufficient resources. Or talent.
See it here: http://www.plan9movie.com/trailer.html

No Remake Please!
The Remark of another reviewer that somebody plans to remake this movie drives me to say: DONT DO IT!!!! You cannot in any way be so good!!!
Having heard about "Plan 9" long ago and having seen "Ed Wood" I believed to be prepared for Plan 9, but I wasn´t! Best bad movie ever? Yes, that´s true. The charming combination of cheesy special effects, cheap sets, acting inabilities makes me love this movie.
Deichbrand_1 -
The best part for me was the time the police men arrived at the cemetery ... or to be more precise, when they arrive there again and again.
A bad but somehow charming film and you do not need to read the IMDB or Wikipedia entry on this film to find the 'errors', they are so obvious and hilarious at the same time.
Watch it and enjoy it...

All of you on Earth are stupid
One of my secret guilty pleasures is introducing people to this movie and watching them as they watch it. No other bad movie is so eminently watchable
Blue Hours Productions -
thanks, Video-Cellar...
I've always been curious as to how Wade Williams III can claim copyright for productions he wasn't involved in. So your explanation was very enlightening!
As for 'Plan 9'...for all the talk about it being "the worst film of all time", I tend to disagree. For me, the cardinal sin of any film is being boring, and one thing 'Plan 9' isn't is boring. ;-)

Still waiting for Plan 10
Favorite super-science device: the "dictorobotary." Favorite new super element: "solarminite." (Kryptonite, eat your heart out!) Favorite line: "All you of Earth are idiots!" Far from being the worst movie ever made, "Plan 9" might be the most charmingly bad movie of all time. Many including me certainly think it is. Watch it once, and chances are you'll watch it again and again in drop-jawed amazement. My favorite comments on this beloved disaster are: "It's an anti-masterpiece!" and "No matter when you watch 'Plan 9' it's always two o'clock in the morning." I wish I could remember who made these telling observations so I could give them the credit they deserve.
Many myths and misconceptions have grown up around this film. For instance, Bela Lugosi didn't die during filming. He passed away before production started. The three brief clips of Lugosi in this movie actually were meant for an entirely different project. And, the flying saucers weren't pie plates or hubcaps. They were toys, actually models that came in kit form. If you happen to have one of them, it's probably worth a bloody fortune. If you would like to know more, there are three informative and highly entertaining documentaries on the film and Ed Woods's life: "The Plan 9 Companion," "Look Back in Angora: the Ed Wood Story" and "The Haunted Life of Ed Wood Jr." They are almost as much fun as the movie itself. "The Haunted Life of Ed Wood Jr." is currently (2/15/10) available for free streaming at U-tube.
CAST NOTE: The immortal lines, "You see! You see! Your stupid minds! You're Stupid! Stupid!" and "All you of Earth are idiots!" were uttered by Dudley Manlove (Eros) who also had a featured role in "Creation of the Humanoids."
trashmeister -
bad, really bad
The flying saucers look like hubcaps on strings (you can sometimes even see the string). They mix night and day scenes without explanation (you have to just ignore it). Lugosi (starring here as "the dead old man") is not really in this movie but they use footage from some other movie that he was actually in, and a double (who is just awful). And all the men-aliens are like Jack Benny clones. The main squeeze is like Alice Kramden. The acting is abysmal, with lines such as, "How could any race be so stupid?" or "I'll bet that apparition we saw had something to do with it" or "You fiend! I? a fiend?" or "But something started stinking awful bad." Flubbed lines and incongruous details and ponpous philosophical oratory. It goes on and on like this, and you start to understand what happened to the first 8-Plans from Outer Space. I personally enjoyed this movie (mostly). But this movie is not for everyone, but for the fan who likes So-Bad-It's-Hilarious. Otherwise,
you'll just think it's stupid.

Bad movie, bad announcer with a very bad hairdo
Did the announcer get a bad permanent wave and then get on the set to make his "chilling" announcement.
One of the worst movies ever made and Bela Lugosi's final film appearance.

I want to start an annual plant sale at our church and church school. I am looking for the best plant ideas. My favorite is Jade Plants. I need vigorous growers that are hard to kill, and require little care.
I would appreciate any ideas on the most saleable plants, and how to get them sold. Price points, etc. Also mabybe a bulk shipment of potting mix. |

Hi, I lived in MN and we used to have a Garden Club sale every summer. As I recall, we had it in June and everybody brought in excess plants (donation). We had an auction and it turned out to be a lot of fun and very popular. If you belong to a very large church, an auction probably would be difficult. You can lay them on tables or on the ground, for that matter. We also ordered starter, standard container plants from a wholesaler to sell at set prices. Since most plants were donated, this was a good fund raiser and we then provided and planted for local nursing homes, etc with some of our profits. A suggestion is to keep your plants priced cheap so the word spreads. All perennials sell well and you are only limited by your imagination. We sold everything from bunching onions, iris, daylilies, rhubarb, lupines - you name it. Since we sold bareroot, it was easy for people to dig and bring. Buyers did not have to shuffle pots. |

My sister has wonderful luck selling African Violets at her church sale. She has a grow light and starts the plants from leaf cuttings. I used to think they were very hard to grow but once I tried it realized they weren't. She puts two to five dollars depending on size. |

Airline changes: Full-body scanners, electronics, and 787s

Lots of changes are underway for when you take flight.
The TSA announced it will ditch full-body scanning machines that travelers complained produced almost naked images of people.
Meanwhile, the FAA held the first of several meetings last week to explore the end of restrictions on electronics during take-off and landing.
And the investigation is widening on the battery problems plaguing Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
To wrap up all this news, we turn to one man who's at the helm. Patrick Smith is a commercial airline pilot, and author of the blog AskThePilot.com.

Exclusive first look: Ay Caramba! opens in Cherry Creek
All photos by Lori Midson.
Alex Gurevich, who owns Limón, a Latin American lounge in Uptown, as well as My other Bar on Seventh Avenue, wasn't in the market for a third restaurant, but after his ex-wife vacated Bisque last June, the Cherry Creek North space became available. And since Gurevich held the note to that space, he figured, what the hell?
See also:
- Ay Caramba! will open in the former Bisque space in Cherry Creek
- Campagna closes for remodeling and will reopen as My Other Bar
- Here's the scoop: Glacier Ice Cream & Gelato now open in Cherry Hills
"I own the space and was initially planning to sell it," says Gurevich, but the deal fell through, he adds, and rather than deal with another potential buyer, Gurevich made the decision to snatch it up himself. "I spent three months in Florida with my kids, and when I got back to Denver, I felt rejuvenated and invigorated, and since the original deal didn't pan out, I figured I may as well do another restaurant."
Except he didn't have a concept. But his friend and neighbor, Jorge Alonso, who owns Vinue, a swanky, flirtatious wine bar just steps way from the former Bisque, had a few ideas. Alonso, an ex-partner in Grupo Anderson's, the Mexican restaurant conglomerate that owns Señor Frog's, suggested that Gurevich bring tortas to Cherry Creek. "We met, chatted, had the same synergy, and he thought the tortas would be a big draw in this neighborhood," says Gurevich, who then traveled to Mexico City, Chicago, San Diego and Los Angeles for inspiration.
"We knew we wanted to do tortas, but we knew, too, that we wanted them to be authentic and refined," explains Gurevich, who named his restaurant Ay Caramba!, which can translate to a couple of different exclamations in Spanish, usually, "Oh, my God!", or "Holy crap!"
Gurevich opened Ay Caramba! this weekend, pimping a board of fifteen different Mexican street sandwiches. He uses bolillo bread, baked at a local panaderia, and smears the crusty rolls with black refried beans stacked with everything from roasted poblano chiles and Negro Modelo-braised pork to eggs and chorizo. There are no tacos, no burritos, no enchiladas -- just tortas, charro beans, a few side dishes, salads and soups, and guacamole, which can be dressed with queso fresco, rajas, bacon, charred corn or toasted pepitas.

I've decided that this spring I'm going to plant a few fruit trees in my yard. I haven't quite decided what yet, but probably a couple of apple trees and a couple of plum trees. Recommendations are welcome.
However, before I can do this I need to remove a few "wild" trees. Any ideas about how best to go about this? I had thought about hiring a backhoe and digging them out myself. I'm sure there are companies around that would do it for me but I'm not sure who to call and what is a reasonable price. Again, any recommendations would be welcome. Thanks, Andy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Stumps under 8 inch caliper may be dug out using a small trackhoe. These usually rent for about $150 a day. Make sure you face the stump with the spade facing it and lower the spade blade to support the machine as you apply digging force. It is easy to topple one of these smaller machines when prying sideways or at an angle to the spade. Start about two feet from the trunk and excavate a small trench around stubborn stumps, like Sweetgums, before attempting a lift. By lowering the bucket until it is supported by the ground "rolling" the bucket applies the greatest pressure to pry the stump upwards and reduces the potential for toppling the machine over. A slightly larger trackhoe will run $200-$250 and will have a greater lifting power. Make sure you have no utilities in the area before you start any digging! In Georgia the dig request line phone number is 1-800-282-7411 for free utilities location and marking. This usually takes a couple of days to get done after the request is made. |

Naturals To Know: Precious
- Posted on 17 October, 2011
- in naturals to know
- by nappy headed black girl
1 How long have you been natural? Did you transition? And if so, how?
2 Describe your hair in three words.
Voluminous, edgy, elegant.
3 How are you currently wearing your hair? What is your hair routine? What products do you use?
I usually wear my hair up in a bun or a ponypuff and part off the front to do a cornrowing or flat-twisting design. Once in a while I also do wear twists in my hair. This all serves to protective style and I have gained lots of length from it.
I wash and condition my hair once a week using Avalon Organics Lavender Nourishing Shampoo and Komaza Care Moja Conditioner. During the week I moisturize and seal my hair. My favorite product right now is Shea Moisture Organic Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I use a moisturizing spritz of water and conditioner before I use a product. My hair absorbs products best when it is damp, and the conditioner adds some extra moisture.
4 Name one thing that you learned about your hair after becoming a natural.
I've learned that soft hair is moisturized hair. Many people assume that kinky hair is supposed to be rough and coarse feeling, but no one's hair should feel that way if it is properly moisturized. Rough, coarse hair is a telltale sign of lack of moisture.
5 Where else can we find you online?
Precious Curls Blog
6 A final word of advice for new naturals?
Finding out what works and doesn't work for your hair is trial and error. I read a quote earlier that said, "Rome wasn't built in a day; neither was a hair care regimen." This is all too true! You can't expect to find something great for your hair on day 1. Keep trying new things and figuring out what your hair likes and doesn't like. It also isn't necessary to use expensive products. Drug store hair products can work wonders, too.
Thanks for having me featured!!

review by Daniel Ralph
Black Swan 2010
Reviewed 27 May, 2012
Daniel Ralph's review:
There is one massive reason for watching this film. Natalie Portman.
This film takes you on the haunting journey of a naive and innocent ballet dancer as she embraces the darker sides of life in order to fulfil her dream role.
Black Swan will make you feel uneasy, it will shock you, it will suck you in and you not be able to look away. It is a unique piece of film- making, and it's final scene is perhaps one of the best final scenes in cinematic history.
Natalie Portman's performance is absolutely stunning and easily deserved her Oscar. The film is definitely not for everyone, but for those who can cope with it will have to respect her career-topping role.
There are part's of this film i like, love and hate! It will divide people, I didn't know what to think after seeing this film, but given time I could see how special it is. Viewing comes with a warning, but viewing is essential - if you can stomach it!
1 Comment
Natalie has an interesting take on its meaning after a conversation with Aronofsky during the filming. I'm not certain it totally holds up - it's more allegorical than psychological - but I like it as an alternative. Will tell you IRL some time to keep spoilers from here...

Arcade Spotlight: Klassic Arcade in Gobles, MI
It's been over a month since our last Arcade Spotlight (hey, arcades are getting hard to find), but this latest gaming nugget we ran across is a good one. Ever heard of Gobles? We haven't either. But they have a sweet arcade!
Klassic Arcade, located in Gobles, Michigan, is a pretty sweet looking old school arcade. Located in the middle of nowhere, it's one of those places you'd go visit when you're tired of tipping cows or tractor racing or whatever it is they do in Michigan. (We're kidding, please don't hate us.)
Klassic Arcade is the perfect name for the place because they've got games like Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Double Dragon, Tron and more. 33 classic arcade games according to their website. They've even got 15 pinball machines. Great ones like Terminator 2, The Addam's Family and Tales From the Crypt. They also have redemption games and some old arcade machines like Trophy Bowler from 1958. And let's not forget the pool and air hockey table.
Best part about all of this? It's only $5.00 to play all day. $5.00!! You would never find a bargain like that in Los Angeles. Hell, it would cost you five bucks just to park your car to walk to an arcade around here. And if you get thirsty racking up high scores, they sell over 100 different bottled sodas, including Virgil's Root Beer, which is the best root beer on the planet.
Take a gander at this sweet arcade. They even host trade show events and more. I think it's time to load up the family truckster and drive to Gobles for a weekend. Who's with me?
Klassic Arcade is located at:
22711 M-40 Highway
Gobles, MI. 49055
(269) 628-4628

Devastating acts, such as the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, have left many concerned about the possibility of future incidents in the United States and their potential impact. They have raised uncertainty about what might happen next, increasing stress levels. Nevertheless, there are things you can do to prepare for the unexpected and reduce the stress that you may feel now and later should another emergency arise. Taking preparatory action can reassure you and your children that you can exert a measure of control even in the face of such events. |
What You Can Do to Prepare Finding out what can happen is the first step. Once you have determined the events possible and their potential in your community, it is important that you discuss them with your family or household. Develop a disaster plan together. Create an emergency communications plan. Choose an out-of-town contact your family or household will call or e-mail to check on each other should a disaster occur. Your selected contact should live far enough away that they would be unlikely to be directly affected by the same event, and they should know they are the chosen contact. Make sure every household member has that contact's, and each other's, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers (home, work, pager and cell). Leave these contact numbers at your children's schools, if you have children, and at your workplace. Your family should know that if telephones are not working, they need to be patient and try again later or try e-mail. Many people flood the telephone lines when emergencies happen but e-mail can sometimes get through when calls don't. Establish a meeting place Having a predetermined meeting place away from your home will save time and minimize confusion should your home be affected or the area evacuated. You may even want to make arrangements to stay with a family member or friend in case of an emergency. Be sure to include any pets in these plans, since pets are not permitted in shelters and some hotels will not accept them. Assemble a disaster supplies kit If you need to evacuate your home or are asked to "shelter in place," having some essential supplies on hand will make you and your family more comfortable. Prepare a disaster supplies kit in an easy-to-carry container such as a duffel bag or small plastic trash can. Include "special need" items for any member of your household (infant formula or items for people with disabilities or older people), first aid supplies (including prescription medications), a change of clothing for each household member, a sleeping bag or bedroll for each, a battery powered radio or television and extra batteries, food and water and tools. It is also a good idea to include some cash and copies of important family documents (birth certificates, passports and licenses) in your kit. Copies of essential documents-like powers of attorney, birth and marriage certificates, insurance policies, life insurance beneficiary designations and a copy of your will-should also be kept in a safe location outside your home. A safe deposit box or the home of a friend or family member who lives out of town qualifies. For more complete instructions, refer to Your Family Disaster Supplies Kit Additional Positive Steps You Can Take Raw, unedited footage of terrorism events and people's reaction to those events can be very upsetting, especially to children. We do not recommend that children watch television news reports about such events, especially if the news reports show images over and over again about the same incident. Young children do not realize that it is repeated video footage, and think the event is happening again and again. Adults may also need to give themselves a break from watching disturbing footage. However, listening to local radio and television reports will provide you with the most accurate information from responsible governmental authorities on what's happening and what actions you will need to take. So you may want to make some arrangements to take turns listening to the news with other adult members of your household.
Check on the school emergency plan of any school-age children you may have. You need to know if they will keep children at school until a parent or designated adult can pick them up or send them home on their own. Be sure that the school has updated information about how to reach parents and responsible caregivers to arrange for pick up. And, ask what type of authorization the school may require to release a child to someone you designate, if you are not able to pick up your child. During times of emergency the school telephones may be overwhelmed with calls. For more information, refer to Your Family Disaster Plan on putting together a disaster plan. You may also want to request a copy of Before Disaster Strikes . . . How to Make Sure You're Financially Prepared (A5075) for specific information on what you can do now to protect your assets. These documents are also available at www.redcross.org. If Disaster Strikes
If the disaster occurs near your home while you are there, check for damage using a flashlight. Do not light matches or candles or turn on electrical switches. Check for fires, fire hazards and other household hazards. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the water heater. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open windows, and get everyone outside quickly.
You and your family or household may have to evacuate an area, avoiding roads blocked for your safety. Clean-up may take many months. A Word on What Could Happen As we learned from the events of September 11, 2001, the following things can happen after a terrorist attack: There can be significant numbers of casualties and/or damage to buildings and the infrastructure. So employers need up-to-date information about any medical needs you may have and on how to contact your designated beneficiaries. Heavy law enforcement involvement at local, state and federal levels follows a terrorist attack due to the event's criminal nature. Health and mental health resources in the affected communities can be strained to their limits, maybe even overwhelmed. Extensive media coverage, strong public fear and international implications and consequences can continue for a prolonged period. Workplaces and schools may be closed, and there may be restrictions on domestic and international travel. |
Evacuation If local authorities ask you to leave your home, they have a good reason to make this request, and you should heed the advice immediately. Listen to your radio or television and follow the instructions of local emergency officials and keep these simple tips in mind-
If you're sure you have time:
Shelter in place If you are advised by local officials to "shelter in place," what they mean is for you to remain inside your home or office and protect yourself there. Close and lock all windows and exterior doors. Turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Close the fireplace damper. Get your disaster supplies kit, and make sure the radio is working. Go to an interior room without windows that's above ground level. In the case of a chemical threat, an above-ground location is preferable because some chemicals are heavier than air, and may seep into basements even if the windows are closed. Only seal off doors, windows and vents if advised to do so by emergency management authorities. Listen to emergency broadcast information and carefully follow instructions regarding sealing your home or business facility. Stay listening to your radio or television until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate. Local officials may call for evacuation in specific areas at greatest risk in your community. Be Aware of Biological / Radiological Exposure
Reduce Any Care Risks The risk of getting a disease while giving first aid is extremely rare. However, to reduce the risk even further:
More Information All of these recommendations make good sense, regardless of the potential problem. For more information on how to get ready for disaster and be safe when disaster strikes, or to register for a first aid and CPR course, please contact your local American Red Cross chapter. You can find it in your telephone directory under "American Red Cross" or through our home page at www.redcross.org under "your local chapter."

Does anyone have a link for making wood loaf molds for soap?
I haven't made soap in quite a long time and now the neighbor is raising pigs for butchering. Might as well not let the lard go to waste. My old recipe makes 8 lbs of soap and I was going to play around with another one I found that makes about 3lbs of soap. They also have a wood shop and saw mill so wood supplies abound and I thought the black walnut wood I have would make nice molds. |
