Hey everyone. I am new to this forum and have only grown Home Depot Dahlias but would like to venture more into Dahlias next year, especially after looking at your beautiful plants/pics. Specifically, I would like to plant some beautiful orange ones to round out my color spectrum in my planned garden for next year. I want to be planting:
Red: English Daisies (Bellis perennis) Yellow: some sort of Coreopsis White: Santolina ericoides (Lavander Cotton), Casablanca Lilies & Shasta Daisies Blue: Convolvulus tricolor "Royal Ensign", Dwarf Delphiniums Purple: Heliotrope, Salvia 'Plumosa', Lavander (Lavandula augustifolia 'Sarah'), & Viola 'Queen Charlotte' Orange: ????? I'm envisioning some sort of dark or bright orange-like an orange oriental poppy color. If anyone can point me to a good website where I can search by color, that would be fabulous too. Thanks.

Look in our albums at this site. There are some really pretty oranges-- & I can't believe I'm saying that as orange is my LEAST favorite color--- but dahlias in orange are great! I did our daughter's wedding a couple of years ago in all fall colors with a lot of orange & it turned out gorgeous! Also you can look on the ADS site or the Colorado Dahlia Society site to see lots of pictures. Suggestions-- Moonlight Sonata (a cool blend of dark pink, orange & yellow), Dauntless, & Wyn's King Salmon if you're looking for large blooms, Camano Susan & Ms Kennedy if you're looking for smaller ones, Pam Howden if you're looking for waterlily type. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wynne's Dahlia Albums
Plantlady2: Thank you very much! I will check out the suggestions and the tips! But I'm not sure what you mean by "albums at this site". I did look at the link you provided-beautiful by the way-but is there somewhere on Garden Web to find albums? If so, I've missed that feature of Garden Web so far. Thanks very much for responding to my inquiry. |

Don't know about pict. albums on Garden Web- these are the albums that I put together of our blooms & the shows & gardens that we see during the year. Next show we go to I'll take some "orange" picts. for you & put in one of our albums- haven't got a clue how to do it here- last year I managed to get one picture to show up on Garden Net but this year I can't seem to master it. |

I have a few orange dahlias almost ready to bloom, I'll be sure to post some pics when they do. Also they're Dinner Plates of rather generous size :) Nikki~ |
I have three orange dahlias: Bright Star (an incurved cactus), E L Fawn Z (lancinated-supposed to be yellow-pink, but mine is light orange and very lovely), GAy Triumph (A ID). I'd be glad to send you a tuber of any perhaps as part of an exchange next spring? I don't sell my dahlias but trade with them. Here is my photo site; it has a picture of Bright Star, but not the other two. I'll post them when they bloom (I have some bronze colors too) http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2103341635 Christine |
What form and size are you looking for in Orange? That would help narrow it down a lot. I highly recommend Jomanda as a ball form about 4 inch diameter. A lovely flower. Ala Mode is a tremendous bloomer in pale orange with white tips- about 5-6 inches across. Reedly is an older orange waterlily, bright orange with tinges of yellow. It opens further than the photo shows to a nice 4-5 inch fluffy waterlily. Pam Howden is a well known dahlia and winner at shows for good reason- it's gorgeous. Medium orange and yellow for me. Pompon? Little one-inch globes of medium orange is found in Pearson's Michelle. Nicole C was a new little cactus for me, or maybe semi cactus in pale orange, pastel orange. 3 inches across. Robinhood, also a ball I think. Overall appearance is a lighter pinkish orange. Pooh is a bright orange and yellow collarette.Maybe Red and yellow. It was another mislabelled tuber supposed to be lavender and hot pink LOL! Still cute though. Here's Brightstar a bright orange incurved cactus about 6in across. |
I would like to add to Poochella's suggestions, Coppertone and Beverly F. Coppertone is a large waterlilly type, and Beverly F is a little lighter but also a large one. I picked a whole bucket of various oranges today and they included these and many of the ones Pooch recommended but also Kingston, a lovely little ball with yellow and raspberry and orange, some un-named Orange and yellow incurved cactus ones of 6-8" diameter, and some orangy reds...magnificant together! |

I absolutely LOVE this one Aztec Gold (here are 2 different pics of the same bloom) The second pic is more true to it's REAL colour. It's just beautiful! Nikki~ |

Wow-- two of our introductions in one post- we love to see that our babies are loved by others & do well in other gardens. (We introduced Aztec Gold in 2001 & Desert Glow in 2002)Our Desert Glow has been especially gorgeous this year. You might want to check out Wyn's Safari Sunset for that deep poppy orange you were looking for - you can find a supplier in the Big List on the Colorado Dahlia Society site. |
- Posted by reddscarlette 3a BC Can (My Page) on Mon, Aug 28, 06 at 20:38
The pic shown of Desert Glow is from Ferncliff Gardens (where I purchased my tubers this spring) I got DG as a bonus tuber and we're quite excited to see it! I just hope I'll get to see it before the frost comes to town. I'll be sure to post more updates on the remaining plants to bloom. I still have Desert Glow, Ben Huston and Clydes Choice yet to bloom, Oh... and Heatwave But Rest assured there will be photos...no matter what ;) Nikki~ |
Wow! Thanks for all the photos and suggestions! I know it took time and work to put together your responses. All are beautiful! I think I am drawn to the Waterlily type Dahlias. I want to give 'Pam Howden' a try. Also, I found another type Dahlia on the Corralitos Gardens web site I liked as far as color goes. It is a "Miniature Informal Decorative" called 'Orange Cushion'. |
- Posted by crdahlia z8bWA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Aug 30, 06 at 9:14
A few others to add to the list: Woodland's Wildthing, which is an 8" informal decorative, Creekside Marge, orange waterlily and Papa's Benji an 8" laciniated variety. If someone would tell me how to post pictures on this site, I'll be happy to show you what they look like. |
Oooh Aztec Gold! Lovely soft color. I saw another nice orange waterlily at the Puget Sound Dahlia Association show last weekend. Charlie Dimmick: about 5-6 inches across, bright orange and yellow. Great bowl to display a waterlily,isn't it? Teresa, Photobucket is an online storage service that is so easy to use. You create albums from your harddrive's uploaded photos, can resize them, name them, add comments to each photo and easily copy/paste the TAG line to post them on this forum. Otherwise, with your assumed permission, I'll try to steal a photo from your website and put it here; standby... It works. And I chose a pretty one! If I violated any copyright laws, I'll email my defense attorney's name too. I'll email you simple instructions @msn on how to do this so we can see your orange dahlias. |
Plantlady2: I looked at your albums again and I do like Wynne's Safari Sunset. I also really like Wynne's King Salmon! Maybe it is more pink than orange but maybe that is ok if mixed in with some other orange ones. Thanks a bunch. A question: One thing I haven't seen a lot of photos yet is dahlias mixed with other flowers in beds. I've seen some drop-dead gorgeous photos of your (and others') gardens, but they all seem to be just dahlias. (It seems you are a dahlia breeder and I understand that they are your crop but even in the garden shots you showed, I didn't pick out any dahlias in the mix. I could've missed them though. ) Are dahlias are so captivating that that is all most dahlia lovers want to plant or do dahlias not mix in well with other plants? I guess I'm asking if my original scheme of mixing dahlias with perennials and roses is a good idea or not. Does the whole bush look good or just the flowers? Any thoughts Plantlady2 or anyone? :) |
Ruskin Gypsy is a beauty. It's a pompon type with 4" blooms in an intense burnt orange color. Would look good among the larger-flowered varieties. Annabeth, I planted my dahlias among other garden plants. Only the ones that are front and/or very tall are producing well. I guess they want sunlight from their heads right down to their feet. The ones sharing a spot with Irises and lilies aren't doing so well - not sure why. I wouldn't expect those to be hogging soil nutrients, but who knows? |

Poochella, if ONLY my camera could capture more of Aztec Golds TRUE colour. It really is a rather vibrant kind of coppery orange/gold. Hard to discribe, but simply wonderful and I'm thankful I purchased it this year. Nikki~ |
- Posted by plantlady2 NW Washington (My Page) on Tue, Sep 5, 06 at 23:10
You can plant dahlias in beds w/ other flowers but we don't because our garden surounding the house is in the woods & dahlias need a lot more sun than our yard gets. So they pretty much get stuck out in the big garden in the field- which has to get plowed & disked every year so permanent stuff can't get planted out there. What to do??? Cutting down trees isn't in the cards- the husband has cut down all he's going to & topping was supposed to be done a few years ago but is still waiting to be done- so, the inner gardens have the shady stuff in them & the outer gardens have the sun-loving dahlias in them Sometimes they can surprise you, too & a plant that was 3' tall one year so you put it mid-bed can end up 6' the next year & tower over the plants behind it. The whole bush does look good & they do well in the mixed gardens of friends of ours. |

Peace Corps - FAQS
Can I pick the country where I will serve?
Peace Corps places Volunteers at the request of host countries, so our main priority is to place you where your skills are needed. If your preferred country requests someone with your skills, we make every effort to place you there. You may indicate a preference on your application, but it is important to know that being geographically inflexible may limit your placement possibilities.
What kinds of skills are countries looking for?
We get a wide variety of requests. We always need people with degrees or experience in environmental studies/sciences/education, math, sciences, health education, and human services. There are a large number of requests for English, science and math teachers, and also for people with business expertise. Liberal arts graduates need experience in at least two of the following: French or Spanish; demonstrated leadership; gardening/farming; health; and/or teaching.
Do I need to know a language?
No, but some programs require people who have studied one year or even two years of college (or two to four years high school) level French or Spanish within the past ten years. You should, however, be prepared to learn another language in the country where you serve.
Do I need to have a college degree?
We place Volunteers at the request of host countries, so it depends on their needs. Not all programs require degrees, but you must have a skill that is requested. In lieu of a degree you should have 2-5 years of work experience in a specific skill and have the ability to train or supervise others. Programs not requiring a degree include agriculture, construction and vocational arts, mechanics, and business management.
How competitive is it to get in?
Your competitiveness depends on the requests we receive from host countries and your education, work experiences, cultural sensitivity, and flexibility. Your competitiveness can be enhanced by foreign language study, especially Spanish or French; teaching or tutoring experience in English, math or science; paid or volunteer work experience; and a demonstrated ability to lead, organize and motivate people.
How long does the application process take?
This depends on what's being requested and your skills. Generally it takes 6-12 months from the time an application is submitted to the time you go overseas. We accept applications year-round.
What kind of training do you get?
Every Volunteer is trained for 1-3 months, usually in the country where they will serve. It includes language, cross-cultural, and technical training.
When do volunteers usually go overseas?
It varies, however, a large number of programs begin training overseas between April and September. We accept applications year-round.
Isn't Peace Corps for people who are fresh out of college?
The average age of Volunteers is about 31 and approximately 10 percent of Peace Corps Volunteers are over age 50. Since Peace Corps allows one to build on current skills and learn new ones, many use Peace Corps as a transition between careers, as well as a start out of college.
Does Peace Corps accept married couples?
Yes, but they both must qualify for programs. The placement process may take a year or more because we must find a country that is requesting two people with different skills at the same time and in the same place.
Does Peace Corps place families?
We are currently unable to accommodate families. We cannot guarantee health, education, visas and/or housing for families.
How do I get more information about Peace Corps?
More information about the program can found at the Peace Corps headquarters website or you can call the Northwest Regional recruiting office at 1-800-424-8580. Also, the WWU Peace Corps representative will be glad to help answer your questions.

Is it possible to add a picture to the background so that exported files will have a set picture for a background? I have a few storyboards complete and I would like to have a company logo in the background identifying this as an in-house machine manual.
There is no watermark option.
You can change the background to whatever you want, though:
View > Background
Select Image, then Browse... to your logo
Click OK.
Funny your answer was marked as the solution even though I never selected it as that. Yeah I knew about the background but that doesn't seem to filter down into exported files, none that I tried anyway. Plus its quite a pain to use since it expands to fill the screen instead of the publish area. We have different size screens and resulutions in the group that will be using the software so this makes for a rather large headache. Not a game breaker just thought it would be nice to have.
No watermark option now, Log this suggestion to internal tracking system: ID: Nov-10285.
What I have done is create the logo with a "Watermark" look in another program (Yes this defeats the purpose of using one program). Then add the logo as a "Picture" while setting up the very first snapshot. So every new snap shot after will have the logo. You can also add it in later by again on the first or at any snapshoot point via setting the "Affected snapshot" option. (Right click within a snapshoot).It would be nice if there was a Opacity adjustment within the annonation ribbon for pictures, then you can watermark anything- wishlist??

Cheap and perfectly OK for my 9 year old daughter - but I do not like them for myself. Sometimes you get what you pay for and these are not cushy enough for me.
They are more durable than the ones from Target and about the same as the ones from "The Children's Place".
So if you need a cheap pair of flip flops these are OK.

Bought a pair of flip flops with the thick heels and went to caymans on vacation, wore them for 2 hours the first day and noticed a burning feeling between the two toes, was all red and sore...took them off and never put them on again...suffered all night with the stinging and burning in the one spot all night, the next morning when I woke up I had HUGE bubble blisters that broke and ended up with huge burns all along the top of my foot...I dont know what the hell was with them but it ruined my whole vacation...I could barely walk...the dam burn was seeping and burning, Couldnt wear and shoe and couldnt leave the condo...im so mad I bought them. NEVER AGAIN! Been a week now and I still cant put shoes on, still seeping...been a total nightmare!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Can't beat these! So comfy and cheap!! Mine do break, but it's usually after a year or two of wearing them almost every day and sometimes I even wear them in the winter. I can't stand any other kind.
More reviews by forgetmenotbutterfly
I buy these flip-flops every year. Old Navy always has a sale on one day of the summer. They are $1 a pair. You can't beat that. That's when I always stock up. They come in a variety of colors and are perfect for the pool or the beach. Honestly, I've never had a shoe break on me. I would seriously recommend these.
These are great "pool shoes". Don't expect them to hold up to much more. I've bought them every summer for a while now, and without fail, by September they have broken. Just in time! (;
More reviews by danceinthedark4ever
For flip flops, I really don't mind buying new ones every summer, especially if you get 3 for 6$!! A few years ago, I had two pairs of these, and I remember loving them to death! Yes, these are pretty cheap, the thong can, and very possibly will, rip out at one point. You will have to keep rebuying these every summer. But honestly, I really don't mind. They're basic flip flops, good for the pool, the beach, places like that. They're great for summer and work really well, and they have a very nice colour selection. All in all, pretty good product.
If you are looking for daily walking shoes, why are you paying 2 for $5? Seriously, these are not them. BUT, these rock for "shower" shoes to use in public places, hotels, pools, locker rooms, etc. So cheap, you don't care what happens to them. Also great for pedicures, just sticking in your car if your regular shoes are killing your feet, and things like that. Lap of luxury and comfort...no. Useful and dirt cheap, yes. You are not wasting your money buying these. They are so cheap, and perfect for "shower" or "pool" shoes.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Soooo horribly made, please don't be surprised when the thong rips from the enclosure. I got these to wear on the lawn, my porch and sun deck, but they didn't survive the minor trekking around the house. Wear these if you plan to chill, not if you plan to pitter-patter about... which totally defeats the purpose, I mean, you can chill in a pair of socks....
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
never again... and no I would not repurchase these flip flops.
I bought a pair last year for a quick weekend trip and wound up with blisters and horrific foot pain.

We've hit some tough fishing here on the Sabine River in Orange, Texas.
The 2013 Elite Series campaign is nearly underway, and all 100 anglers remain tied ... for now. There's no first place, no last place, and perhaps most significantly, no second place.
At the premier Elite event of the season, dozens of anglers and B.A.S.S. will remember the victims of the Sandy Hook School tragedy.
When asked if he had ever competed on the Sabine River, site of the March 14-17 Bassmaster Elite Series season opener, Elite Series pro Dennis Tietje chuckled.
Although Toledo Bend is an impoundment of the Sabine River, don't base your Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing picks on history there. Instead, review results of other spring river tournaments.
The field for the 2013 Bassmaster Elite Series is set. With 102 top professional anglers from 25 states and Japan, the lineup is the strongest ever and the largest since 2008.
The Elite Series event will take place March 14-17 on the Sabine River system out of the city of Orange.
The 2013 Bassmaster Elite Series has plenty of challenges for everyone.

"This is a great salad! I didn't have any sunflower seeds so I just omitted them. I used Raspberry Bisamic vinegar. "
"This was awesome. My, sometimes, hard to please, husband just loved it. It only had time to marinate it for 4 hours. So tender! I didn't change a thing but I did cook it about 30 minutes (could be the thickness of the tenderloin made a difference in the cook time). I served it with broccoli salad and rice. Kids liked it too!"

Compiling Kernel 2.6.20 and the NVIDIA driver
the last time i tried this I ran into a big problem.....
Here is what I did......
Booted the newly compiled kernel 2.6.20....
reinstalled nvidia driver....
Loaded kde...
No sound....
So I recompiled the kernel for sound.....
Now it will not install NVIDIA 9746 driver.......
It said something like:
you appear to be compiling the nvidia kernel module with a compiler different from the one that was used to compile the running kernel.
I compiled the new kernel (2.6) from the kernel (2.4)
do i have to keep my old kernel just for compiling a new kernel? or is there a workaround?
I am stumped.

sorry for question without answer. I also tried to compile 2.6.20 kernel. But I couldn't. In fact I was very tired and time was late but at the end I couldn't. When I search internet I saw a site illustrating Slackware installation. And I see there that man was choice the kernel from installation cdrom.
My question is that can I choose at the stage my 2.6.20 kernel which is at /home/etusch/kernel, and /home is a different partition
