'The Last of Robin Hood' Trailer: Well, Errol Flynn Was a Creep
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on June 24, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWith the recent premiere of Maleficient, we've all spent a good deal of time talking about Elle Fanning and her career turn as a real life Disney princess. But the focus is about to shift again to the older sister, with Dakota Fanning stepping into the shoes of a young and impressionable 1940s starlet in The Last of Robin Hood. After all, who would know more about struggling through Hollywood and rising to fame as a teenager than someone who has done it herself? The silver screen gal she's portraying, Beverly Aadland, was in a bit of a different situation than Fanning, however. Aadland was a chorus girl just at the beginnings of her blossoming film career, with only a twinkle of Hollywood in her future and an overbearing stage mom (Susan Sarandon) at her side. It's the beauty and talents of the — very, very — young beauty that catches the eye of Robin Hood himself, Errol Flynn (Kevin Kline), and the two begin a dangerous affair that crosses a few too many boundaries. At the time, Flynn was the toast of the town, a mega movie star who was virtually untouchable; charming, undeniably handsome and a beloved figure on the silver screen with roles in The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk. He was a dashing action hero that everyone wanted to work with, everyone wanted to be and everyone wanted to be with at the same time.
7 Biographies That Waste Great Casting
Cinematic Listology By Monika Bartyzel on June 5, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIn Maleficent, Angelina Jolie recreates her iconic curse with such perfect charisma that it's a big letdown when she changes tune about 2.5 seconds later as Disney strives to make her relatable. Our beloved villainess became the reactionary scorned woman, and all of that potential for more evil cackles flies out the window. Thinking about this terribly missed opportunity for excellent evilness, I couldn't help but think about the many real-life, often larger than life names who have been immortalized in cinematic biographies in ways more bittersweet than satisfying. It's great to see them and get the rush of their performance, but sad to watch it wasted on an inferior film, or a bit part in someone else's larger whole.
'Last Vegas' Trailer Seems to Be Pandering, But to Whom?
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhen the first teaser trailer for director Jon Turteltaub's upcoming old-guys-in-Vegas comedy Last Vegas hit, it was a brief enough taste of what the film had to offer that it seemed like it could be entertaining fluff. Sure, The Hangover's wild party montage formula is getting pretty played out at this point, but mixing in a little Grumpy Old Men could help to freshen things up a bit, and with a cast that includes Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, and Robert De Niro, clearly the film was shooting for an older audience than these party movies are usually trying to reach. It seemed like there was a good chance Last Vegas could draw its humor a little bit more from character and performance, and a little bit less from shock tactics and raunch than these movies usually do, which would be a welcome switch. Now that a full trailer has dropped, it's hard to understand who the heck it's supposed to be marketed toward though. Despite a report from The Wrap that the film is currently fighting being given an R-rating, this new ad is so toothless and glossy that it looks like it should be selling a PG comedy to people's grandparents. And all of those "old people sure are old" gags—woof. You've got to check this trailer out, just to see how unfunny they are.
'Last Vegas' Teaser Trailer is 'The Hangover' For Old People
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 17, 2013 | Comments (4)You haven't lived until you've seen drunk Morgan Freeman. The actor has been having a lot of fun lately with his roles, but none of them compare to whatever is going on in Last Vegas. In fact, as Old Dogs Meets The Hangover as it sounds, the trailer for this movie starring Michael Douglas, Kevin Kline, Robert De Niro and Freeman actually makes it look like a bit of harmless fun. Probably not a lot of fun, but fun. Of course, it also looks like a vacation for wealthy actors and director Jon Turtletaub. This is what retirement looks like for living legends. Broad humor, twenty-something eye candy and fruity drinks. Oh, and they probably made a movie somewhere in there. Check out the trailer for yourself:
'Last Vegas' Gets Its Fourth: Kevin Kline Will Get Drunk Alongside De Niro, Freeman, and Douglas
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 18, 2012 | Be the First To CommentJon Turteltaub's "geriatric Hangover" buddy comedy, Last Vegas, has finally locked in its final member of its wolf pack (geriatric wolf pack?). Deadline Henderson reports that Kevin Kline will join Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Douglas in the Dan Fogelman-scripted comedy. The film centers on "old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single." Hilarity (and broken hips?) ensues! Previous articles on the film also refer to a love triangle element to the story, with the bachelor in question (a known playboy) falling for a lounge singer that another one of his pallies (a widower) also has his eye on. There's no word on who will play who as of yet, but let's just go for the obvious here – De Niro as the playboy and Freeman as the widower? That sound about right?
Charlie Kaufman's 'Frank or Francis' Has Fallen Apart (For Now)
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 27, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn an interview with Moviefone, Elizabeth Banks had some sad news to deliver: Charlie Kaufman's Frank or Francis "fell apart at the last minute." Banks was set to co-star along with Catherine Keener, Nic Cage, Jack Black, Steve Carell and Kevin Kline. The film was to be an exploration of filmmaking, Hollywood culture, criticism, and probably a dozen other things but more importantly…it was new, original work from Charlie Kaufman. The Playlist has learned that the movie is simply postponed, but it's time to start drinking nonetheless. Why? Because there's no such thing as "dead" in filmmaking; only "postponed." Of course, that comes with the optimism that Kaufman can make it happen one day. Hopefully soon.
Review: 'Darling Companion' Is No Bark and No Bite
Film Festivals By Dustin Hucks on April 20, 2012 | Comments (3)Editor's note: With Darling Companion opening this week in limited release, we thought we'd unleash Dustin's review from the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, originally posted on January 30, for you to take a bite out of. Woof. The opening night film at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival has always been a walk-away; generally an under-cooked indie with no distribution and little shot at getting into general theaters. So why kick a film when it's down? There's not a lot of value in heaping negative criticism on a new filmmaker who will likely go on to bigger and better things with more experience. That said, the 27th year of Santa Barbara's festival brought a heavyweight opening night player in writer/director/producer Lawrence Kasdan, and his Sony Pictures Classics distributed Darling Companion. Basically, fair game. Darling Companion is the story of Beth Winters (Diane Keaton), her spine surgeon husband Joseph (Kevin Kline), and the dog that brings them together. Or at least, it tries to be about them while clumsily pulling viewers into unnecessary side stories that aren't particularly interesting. The film suffers on every level, but prominent among its faults is an odd pace that steals away any reason to invest in any of the characters, the spotty narrative, or the wholly expected and unsatisfying ending.
Culture Warrior: Beautiful People Having Sex
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 26, 2011 | Comments (1)The cinematic doppelganger effect seems to happen on a cyclical basis. Every few years, a pair of movies are released whose concepts, narratives, or central conceits are so similar that it's impossible to envision how both came out of such a complex and expensive system with even the fairest amount of awareness of the other. Deep Impact and Armageddon. Antz and A Bug's Life. Capote and Infamous. Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Observe and Report. And now two R-rated studio-released romantic comedies about fuck buddies played by young, attractive superstars have graced the silver screen within only a few short months of each other. We typically experience doppelganger cinema with high-concept material, not genre fare. To see two back-to-back movies released about the secret life of anthropomorphic talking insects, a hyperbole-sized rock jettisoning towards Earth's inevitable destruction, a Truman Capote biopic, or a movie about a mall cop seem rare or deliberately exceptional enough as a single concept to make the existence of two subsequent iterations rather extraordinary. Much has been made of the notion that Friends with Benefits is a doppelganger of No Strings Attached (the former has in more than one case been called the better version of the latter), but when talking about the romantic comedy genre – a category so well-tread and (sometimes for better, sometimes not) reliably formulaic that each film is arguably indebted to numerous predecessors – can we really say these films are doppelgangers in the same vein as the high-concept examples, or […]
Review: 'The Conspirator' Isn't The Worst Experience You Could Have In A Theater
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on April 17, 2011 | Comments (7)Everyone remembers where they were when they first heard that President Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated. I was in third grade, under the creepy Catholic tutelage of Sister Hermina (she refused to die!), and the lesson on Lincoln's presidency had come to dramatic and shocking conclusion. Granted, those aren't the words I would have used to describe it at the time, but I do recall feeling frustrated, confused, and angered at the tall, bearded man's death. So why open a film review with a reference to a grade school history lesson? Because the film in question, Robert Redford's The Conspirator, feels like a two-hour lecture on some of the very same material. Viewers learn about the coordinated assault against Lincoln and two members of his cabinet, the capture and conviction of those responsible, and their subsequent hangings for the crimes. While the material here is more detailed than the lesson taught by zombie nun it's also presented dryly, without any real energy, emotion, or drama, and very much in the spirit of a made-for-television movie. It doesn't help matters that Redford uses his directorial lectern to include some incredibly unsubtle and politicized comparisons to our own modern day battles between personal freedoms and national security.
Review: 'Queen to Play' Successfully Gives Chess the Sports Movie Treatment
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on April 1, 2011 | Comments (1)There's something to be said about a good sports movie. They often have the most tired formulas, and easily devolve into sap and lazy storytelling, but when done right their predictable structures feel less-paint-by numbers and more like the comfort of a familiar friend. But there are two characteristics of writer/director Caroline Bottaro's debut feature Queen to Play that don't automatically denote a generic sports movie: it's French, and it's about chess. However, Bottaro uses the formula to such an advantage that it feels like sleight of hand as she delivers a film that's simple but engrossing, one that's familiar but slyly touching. Helene (Sandrine Bonnaire) is a working class mother. She cleans apartments and hotel rooms for a living. Her husband Ange (Francis Renaud) is a day laborer who sees his friends getting laid off left and right and is a afraid that he'll be the next. Expenses are always on their mind, and they squeak by one month to the next. Their daughter is having trouble navigating adolescence with her "common" parents, self-righteously resenting the economic place from which she came. They are, in short, a family all too aware of their "place" on the social ladder, Helene especially since she has the job of cleaning up after the wealthy. One morning she curiously watches an American couple (one of the two Americans, surprisingly, is Jennifer Beals, but she isn't the only familiar stateside face in the film) playing chess on a porch as she cleans their room.
England Would Be the Smallest Province in the Russian Empire if Not for the Vintage Trailer of the Day
Features By Scott Beggs on February 21, 2011 | Comments (5)Every day, come rain or shine or internet tubes breaking, Film School Rejects showcases a trailer from the past. You can't go wrong with a movie this overflowing with clever insults and John Cleese covering his man bits with a picture of his family. Perhaps the funniest heist movie ever made, Jamie Lee Curtis is the bait, and a bunch of diamonds are on the line if she can seduce John Cleese (without that picture) and if Kevin Kline can avoid getting them all killed. What can you learn from the trailer today? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Knowledge! Think you know what it is? Check the trailer out for yourself:
'The Conspirator' Trailer Shoots Lincoln in the Head
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 26, 2011 | Comments (3)Robert Redford has directed a movie starring James McAvoy, Robin Wright Penn, Kevin Kline, Tom Wilkinson, Danny Huston, Stephen Root, Colm Meaney, Toby Kebbell, and Evan Rachel Wood. That should be enough to cause excitement. The Conspirator tells the story of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the ensuing police action and trial of the conspirators – including Mary Surratt, who became despised by an entire country. She was guilty until proven innocent. Check out the intense trailer for yourself:
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: January 21, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on January 21, 2011 | Comments (1)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr trolls around hospitals looking for a scorching hot young doctor who doesn't want a real relationship but would rather have someone she can have copious amounts of sex with many times throughout the week. Upon returning from that fantasy land, he heads to a job-placement agency to rub elbows with laid-off corporate executives who have trouble making ends meet so they can pay the lease on their Mercedes. Kevin is handing out grades for No Strings Attached and The Company Men, and the grades are not good.
'Soapdish' Remake Truly is Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 26, 2010 | Comments (1)Paramount Pictures is remaking the 1991 comedy Soapdish. This is the word from the generally reliable folks over at Pajiba. Just when you didn't think they'd hit the bottom of the barrel yet, this would be your sign.

I'm doing an RV conversion that I want to wire in 12V for the house. The vehicle runs on 24V (2 x 12V starter batteries). I'm just at the planning stage (haven't bought anything yet or decided on panel or battery bank size etc).
I'd like to set up the solar batteries and starter batteries so that the RV engine will charge the solar batteries. My current RV does this via a VSR and controller, but it's 12V to 12V. Does anyone know if I can do this 24V to 12V?
I'm also not clear if such a system charges the starter battery from the solar panel (via the solar battery). I assume it does but I've not tested it.

I have enormous respect of the comic strip as a potential story and art form, although far too few of its productions have realized their potential. If those few, however, could be gathered into some sort of complete collection, the effect on those who have scorned the comics as a whole might well be devastating…
– Edmund Wilson from a letter to Bill Blackbeard, 1966
Bill Blackbeard passed away on March 10, 2011, but me and almost everybody else in comicdom didn't get wind of it until this past week. If you didn't know who Blackbeard was, that's OK, but know this: he was instrumental in the preservation comic strips. His love of the strip is evident in his work with San Francisco Academy of Comic Art, which, according to his Wikipedia entry, hosts more then 2.5 million clippings. That, in of itself, may not sound like a lot in 2011 with everything digitally reproduced for you fingertips to search on, but consider that Blackbeard collected strips when no one else did – including the publishers themselves! His foresight has not only led to the medium, critique and study of comic strips (and comic books), but he was the early forerunner into what we know as the Collected Edition.
True enough comic books started out as reprints of comic strips and others made comic books what they are today. Add to that, there have been collections of strips and comic books throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's but no book has made an impact, and continues to make an impact, like Bill Blackbeard's The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics (1977, Smithsonian Institution Press and Abrams). What Blackbeard set out to do was to showcase not only the best that comic strips had to offer but the most important and worth preserving for future generations. Originally priced at $29.95, it has had multiple printings (I own the 1985, 5th printing), is 10.5" x 14.5", and has 336 pages with over 750 strips and panels from a multitude of titles (the ones listed below are just a sampling of what to expect) . Edited by Blackbeard with Martin Williams the book is broken down into down eight major parts:
- Folklore Figures in the Early Sunday Comic Strip, 1896-1916; featuring The Katzenjammer Kids, Little Nemo in Slumberland, Naughty Pete, and Mutt and Jeff
- Popular Images in the Early Daily Comic Strip, 1907-1927; featuring S'Matter Pop?, Mutt and Jeff, and The Family Upstairs
- Long-Lived Stars of the Comic Strip's Second Two Decades, 1916-1936; featuring Polly and Her Pals, Blondie, Bringing Up Father, Krazy Kat, and The Bungle Family
- Anecdote and Narrative in the Daily Comic Strip, 1917-1933; featuring Barney Google, Wash Tubbs, and Moon Mullins
- Anecdote and Narrative in the Sunday Comic Strip, 1930-1941; featuring Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Tarzan, Popeye, and Alley Oop
- Extended Narrative in the Daily and Sunday Comic Strip, 1928-1943; featuring Barnaby, Secret Agent X-9, Terry and the Pirates, Dick Tracy, and Little Orphan Annie
- Comics Miscellany, 1928-1950; featuring Li'l Abner, Felix the Cat, Pogo, and Casey Ruggles
- The Return of the Funnies; featuring Peanuts, Beetle Bailey, B.C., Boomhilda, Momma and Doonesbury
There is also a very nice Foreword by John Canaday, a leading American art critic; and it contains introductions to each chapter and has annotations throughout the book by Blackbeard and Williams. In the back there is comprehensive material for the completest including A Selected, Introductory Bibliography of Books and Articles on Newspaper Comics and An Annotated Index of the Comics. It should be pointed out that Jerry Robinson's The Comics: An Illustrated History of the Comic Strip (1974) is listed among the bibliography and you may already know that book was just updated and published with Dark Horse a few weeks ago.
With that in mind, The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics spawned a companion book edited by Martin Williams with J. Michael Barrier called A Smithsonian Book of Comic-Book Comics (1982) and you guessed it, it focuses on Comic Books and if you have picked up Dan Nadel's Art In Time and Art out of Time, you'll want to have this one beside them on your bookshelf. That book got an update in 2004 with The New Smithsonian Book of Comic-Book Stories: From Crumb to Clowes edited by Bob Callahan. As expected it's a bit more contemporary with a look at work by Alan Moore, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Art Spiegelman to name a few. I don't own it, but perhaps I'll pick it up someday. As far as both Smithsonian originals go, nobody should be without them. They are indispensable resources.
Finally, if you have stumbled upon the podcast and blog this week you'll notice that I have a bit of a comic strip theme going. I interviewed Brain Walker who has updated his own two books The Comics Before 1945 and The Comics Since 1945 into one The Comics: The Complete Collection. Next week I'll have an interview with Pete Maresca, Sunday Press Books, and will talk about his relationship with Bill Blackbeard and how he has helped him out through the years.

Kwesi Nyantakyi, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has underscored the need to hinge the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) annual awards on organised competitions by the continental body.
Nyantakyi told GNA Sports that the CAF organised competitions must carry a chunk of the points to determine the winner of the African Footballer of the Year award.
He said the move would put premium on CAF organised tournament and increase competition.
According to Nyatakyi, the performance of John Obi Mikel at the last edition of the African Cup of Nations far outweighs that of Yaya Toure taking into consideration that, Nigeria won the tournament in the year under review.
"Obi Mikel also led Nigeria to the Confederations Cup Competition in Brazil after leading Nigeria to win the continental trophy.
"Based on these, one can easily say Obi Mikel deserves to win the 2013 African Footballer of the Year, but in every award there are controversies and this cannot go without one".
He said though Toure had been in a great shape in the last three years and deserved to win the award, a direct comparison of his achievement on the continent puts the Nigeria in a best position.
Toure beat competition from Obi to claim the gong for the third time running

Sam is a nine year old boy in the third grade. His parents describe homework time as a daily struggle that lasts several hours and typically results in tears and frustration. In school, Sam excels in math, science, and reading but has considerable difficulty with writing and spelling. During these lessons, he becomes disruptive to his classmates or shuts down and refuses to participate. His parents report that he reached all developmental milestones on time, although he is still unable to tie his own shoes. Sam has many friends and is generally a happy boy who enjoys playing sports and watching movies.
Q: When should children begin to write?
A: Writing is a process that begins with fine motor development and hand strength. Preschoolers engage in activities like playing with clay and pasting that build their hand-eye coordination, hand strength, and finger dexterity so that they are ready to handle a marker or pencil by age four.
Q: Is it OK for my six-year-old to still reverse letters like b and d or L?
A: Letter reversals are common in kindergarten and first grade. As a child learns the names and spatial orientation of letters and as he or she practices forming letters with the correct motor patterns, the frequency of letter reversals should decrease. Letter reversals are not usually apparent after age eight.
Q: If a child has difficulty writing will it affect any other aspects of his or her functioning?
A: Many times, a child who has difficulty with handwriting avoids writing tasks. In some instances children become demoralized and develop a mindset that they cannot write. Research informs us that when the handwriting and spelling demands are high, students spend less time on other aspects of writing such as planning, generating ideas, and writing more complex sentences. Basic skills such as handwriting and spelling need to become automatic so that other cognitive capacities and resources can be devoted to the complexities of written expression.
Q: What skills are necessary for a child to develop good writing?
A: It is very important for children to read and write every day. When a child reads, he or she is exposed to varied sentence structures, lots of vocabulary, and stories that have a sequence of events. When a child reads, the text serves as a model. In order to become expert writers at any age, a child requires writing support, instruction, and activities that help him or her to organize information and use brainstorming prior to writing. At each grade level, teachers help their students make decisions and evaluate what seeds in their writing are worth cultivating, revising, and elaborating on.
Q: How can a parent recognize when a child is struggling with writing?
A: During the preschool years, children need to develop hand strength and fine motor coordination for writing. In addition, children should learn to tell stories that have a beginning and an end, which is a precursor skill to writing a sentence, paragraph, or story. During elementary school, automatically writing letters and words, sequencing a more complex story, and writing using their knowledge of mechanics and sentence structure is important. In middle school and high school, children should be proficient writers who learn about how to generate appropriate content and length. In addition, they can take someone else's perspective into account as they write. As children get older, there are increased demands for writing and they become more adept at evaluating their own writing.
Q: What should a parent do if his/her child is struggling? Where can a parent find help for writing issues?
A: If your child – especially a child aged 2 through 11– is having difficulty with the fine motor coordination and precision required for any small motor task including writing, an evaluation with an occupational therapist is suggested. The professional can then determine a specific therapy to remediate the problem.
If your child – at any age – is having difficulty putting his or her ideas into words, organizing thoughts for writing, or completing lengthy written assignments, working with a language pathologist, or a learning or remedial specialist, can be helpful.
In addition, a writing assessment as part of a complete psychoeducational evaluation will help to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses so you can develop an appropriate remedial plan.
Recommendations will vary based on your child's specific needs. For young children it can be helpful to work individually with an occupational therapist on building fine motor skills. Children who are in the third grade and older would benefit from developing keyboarding skills. Learning to keyboard would allow them to gain automaticity for both taking notes in class and completing homework assignments and papers. Assigning struggling note-takers a scribe or having a classmate share their notes can also be helpful. Other times, it is recommended that teachers provide extended time on written assignments, allow for access to a laptop on tests that require extensive writing, and/or not penalize for spelling errors. Overall, the recommendations will be based on your child's personal strengths and weaknesses and the supports his or her school is able to provide.
The Institute for Learning and Academic Achievement at the NYU Child Study Center (CSC) offers a comprehensive, specialized approach to assessing a child's learning strengths and weaknesses, and provides parent, educator, and child-friendly evaluations and integrated strategies for improvement. We provide a carefully constructed, personalized evaluation as well as an extensive written report and recommendations for treatments distinct from any other program.

Before you start exporting specific branches, we suggest you review your family tree and choose which ancestral branches to export. It will save you a lot of time when you get to the list of people you choose to add to the exported file.
To export specific branches of your family tree:
Open your tree in Family Tree Builder.
Go to File > Export GEDCOM.
Click 'Save As', choose the folder on your computer you'd like to save to and click 'Next'. In your case, you will want to give this tree a different name than your main tree. You may want to name it after the eldest ancestor in the branch you are exporting, for example.
If you wish to fill in author information or add a description to the file, you can do so here. It is not necessary though. Click 'Next'.
Choose the language of the tree. Click 'Next'.
This is the screen where you will choose a specific branch to export. Choose the 'Include specific people only' option and click 'Select People'.
Click 'Add' to select people from your tree.
Select the person you want to add. (In the next step you will choose if to include descendants, so select only the eldest ancestors).
For each person you choose, you can include Descendants and Spouses, Descendants only, Spouses only, or only This person. You can also include Ancestors.
Use the 'Edit' button to do this. When you're finished click 'OK'.
Then click 'Next'.
If you have photos in the tree, you'll see the following screen. It is recommended to click 'Yes'.
Click 'Finish'. You have just created a new tree which contains a certain branch of your family only.
NOTE: Exporting a branch from the family tree has no effect on the main tree.
In order to sync the new project, you will want to open it in Family Tree Builder first. Go to File > Import GEDCOM and import the GEDCOM you just created. Then sync it with your family site.

Where is your favorite place to buy perennials? Do you buy from catalogs, local nurseries, or other places? I want to find some phlox and geraniums and some other perennials. Any suggestions? Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Garden Crossings! Another good one is Forest Farm. All online vendors, but excellent, large, healthy plants. |
- Posted by oilpainter 3 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 21, 09 at 17:34
My favorite place to buy almost anything garden related is my local nursery. That is not to say I don't order my seeds and an occasional plant from garden catalogues. I have made friends with the owner who has a degree in horticulture, and he grows most things from seed. I get a healthy dose of info and advice from him and that and his plant warrantees keep me coming back. I may pay a bit extra but what goes with each plant is worth it. |
- Posted by hostaholic2 MN 4 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 21, 09 at 19:32
Since I don't have a good source of perennials locally I order a lot of them online. In addition to those already mentioned I like Busse Gardens, Ambergate Gardens, Bluestone Perennials (small, but good root system. For Hostas I like Hallsons (perennials too) Naylor Creek, Northern Grown Perennials. Daylilies..Solaris Farms( a recent order from them included a free three fan clump that was worth more than the rest of my order) Lilies-my fave is The Lily Garden |
I absolutly love this nursery i pass on my way home from work, it has so much, and the people there are beyond helpful. The prices are great for things i cant find anywhere else, its actually where i bought my phloxs and geraniums. I went to their open housein october, and bought roses 75% off! I had no room left in my car! I also shop thebox stores, you cant beat their clearance racks! I ordered from santarosa gardens website when they had a 2.99 perennial sale. I was very happy with the plants i got! None of them where weak or sickly. |
I'll second the votes for santa rosa gardens and bluestone perennials. Great luck with plants from both of those! |
Please support your local nurseries... (and by that I mean an actual NURSERY, not a big box store or a Wally-World-type place) If, of course, your local nursery does not carry a selection you covet, there are some great on-line nurseries you can turn to (e.g. Forest Farm) |
I've never had great luck with Bluestone Perennials. The plants are sooo small, just starters. Hopefully, the ones I planted this year that never grew any bigger than they started out will grow better and bigger next year. Such a shame because Bluestone is only about a half hour away from me. |
I'd say I buy the majority of my perennials from Bluestone. They're my first stop when looking for anything. Locally, in the last two years I've bought many shrubs from Broken Arrow Nursery in Hamden, CT. I live about a mile or two from a nice nursery, but they really are quite expensive. I do try to buy at least one perennial a year from them, since I do believe in supporting local. businesses, but they are just too expensive for me to buy from on a regular basis. There is also a garden center/feed store where I buy a lot of plants. They have fairly good quality plants at decent prices. I've also used Forest Farm & Shooting Star. And I have bought daylilies and irises from Gilbert Wild. I've heard that several people have had problems with them (Wild), but I've yet to have any issues with any daylilies or irises that they sent. I've always had success with their plants, and the price is right. :) |

I second the motion for supporting your local garden centers. I have found that I always get a much bigger plant from them for the same or less money than I do mail order. But, I do order from mail order places for things I cannot find locally. My faves: Greer Gardens (Oregon): BIG plants for a decent price. Nice selection. LazySsfarm: great selection, small but vigorous plants, and reasonable prices. Forest Farm: by far the biggest selection of anyplace I know. Very reasonable prices, with a choice of small or large sizes. (It definitely pays to buy the larger size on anything that is a "slow" grower.) Very high shipping for my part of the world, but again, a spectacular selection. Plant Delights: pricey, but plants that are grown in a climate similar to mine. Their plant sizes for the money are nothing to brag about. I also tried Sooner Plant Farm this year for the first time. I was very impressed with the size of the plants for the price. All of the above have excellent service. |

I've got a few great nurseries near me that I buy most of my plants from. I order perennials from Bluestone if I can't find it locally. They start small but they're healthy and grow fast. I buy roses from Palatine roses who sells the biggest and healthiest and fastest growing roses. I don't buy from Big Box stores anymore because I'd rather spend the extra to support the smaller local nurseries and help them stay in business. |
Not much love for "Big Box" stores in this thread, but Lowes and Home Depot are two of my favorite places to buy perennials. Hard to argue with larger plants and lower prices. Just buy the plants as soon as they come off the truck, before the employees have a chance to kill the plants! |

Leonard Cohen Crosses That Hohenzollern Bridge When He Comes To It
In his introduction to "Anthem" during his July 1, 2009 concert in Cologne, Leonard Cohen reports to the audience that he locked a padlock on the Hohenzollern Bridge and, following custom, threw the key in the river.
Leonard Talks – Cologne (July 1, 2009)
Love Padlocks
Love padlocks are a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolize their love, a tradition which perhaps began in the 1980s in Pécs:
Beginning in the 1980s, in the centre of the southern Hungarian city of Pécs, lovers began to clamp padlocks to a wrought-iron fence in a narrow street linking the mosque in the city's main square and the magnificent medieval cathedral, as a symbol of their commitment to one another. However, after the fence was completely covered and no more padlocks could be added, couples, both locals and tourists, began attaching them to fences and statues throughout the town centre.1
According to Cologne Gets a Lock on Love (which holds that the love locks first appeared in Rome), the practice has spread to Cologne.
Rome is, without a doubt, a perfect place for romance. There, on the famous Milvian bridge over the Tiber, is where it all began — the hanging of lucchetti d'amore, or love locks. Young lovers still flock to the bridge today to immortalize their love with an engraved padlock, throwing the key into the swirling waters below.
Cut to the German city of Cologne. Unlike Rome or Paris, it's not exactly known as a romantic destination. Despite this, love locks are currently all the rage, with over 300 of them clinging to the busy Hohenzollern bridge over the Rhine. The locks began appearing on the pedestrian footpath across the bridge last summer
… The tokens have also become an attraction for tourists, who stop to take a closer look at the messages inscribed on them.
Each inscription is different. Some are just initials written in marker pen, others have been more expensively engraved. …
Leonard Cohen – Escape Artist
Given Cohen's deep-seated, well advertised, and self-professed avoidance of a permanent romantic commitment to any of the women with whom he has been involved, there is, of course, a certain irony in his participation in the the hanging of lucchetti d'amore.
There is, however, no evidence supporting the rumor that Cohen secretly kept a duplicate of the key he tossed in the river "just in case."

Sponsored by the Newberry Library, the Chicago Historical Society and the Illinois State Library, a new hefty (7 pound) volume of facts, figures and history about the city of Chicago has arrived.
The State Register (IL) profiles the newly published "Encyclopedia of Chicago" 1,100 pages from A (Abolitionism) to Z (Zoroastrianism). Once initial preparations got under way, some of the most animated discussions among planners revolved around what topics would - or wouldn't - be included. "We yelled at each other a lot," joked Grossman, the Newberry's vice president for research and education.
By far my favorite event in Chicago history is the reversal of the Chicago River in 1900.
It took 50 years, from the failed try in 1848, for canal construction technology to become powerful enough to make the results permanent. And it was almost stopped by a court order from St. Louis (who, surprise, didn't want Chicago's sewage flowing their way). It only went through because the construction engineers dynamited the last dam in the middle of the night so as to avoid the injunction that would come the next morning. For more than a hundred years now, there's been a continuous water flow over the continental divide!

I know there is a cooking forum, but I just feel more comfortable here. :)
I love to cook and bake desserts, but I've never been a fan of making cookies. They usually turn out okay when I make them, but something happened today. My chocolate chip cookies were super flat after baking. They look like crepes with chocolate chips. I double-checked the date on the baking soda and it was fine. Did I over mix the butter and sugar? What did I do wrong? My 4-year-old said they look funny, but "they taste good anyway". |

here are a bunch of tips...if you didn't use baking powder they probably won't turn out right. Did you use the recipe on the bag of chocolate chips...Nestle' ? I have never had a problem with that one. |

Hey BB, speaking of the CF ... saw your post on the vinegar thread. You could easily have kept that bottle. If you like fruity balsamics try Lucini's or Cuisine Perel's. I love CP's pomegranate balsamic. |
Thanks for the links. I'm glad I'm not alone! I have an excellent recipe for jumbo cookies that came on the inside of the Land-o-lakes butter box. I've always had luck with it. It must be the baking powder. Today's adventure in cookie making started when my son begged for cookies before his nap. I had 1/2 bag of Nestle chips in the freezer, but the recipe was cut off the bag (of course). I had another bag of store brand chips and that is the recipe I followed. Maybe that was another part of the issue. Oh well; they're not very pretty, but at least they taste good. |
Since most seem to be having issues using the same recipe; I wonder if Nestle changed the formulation of their chips? My friend uses Hershey's chips & doesn't have that problem. If I'm baking cookies; I soften butter over night by taking all the sticks out of the package & laying them on a cooling rack. I don't make chocolate chip cookies that often; my specialty is peanut butter & rolled cookies using cream cheese. |
What are "peanut butter & rolled cookies using cream cheese." Do I have to go to the cooking forum (which is waaay out of my league) for the recipe? |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Tue, Nov 8, 11 at 19:59
I quickly looked blf but didn't find anything. I'm sure someone knows. Natal, I haven't tossed it! I'll try it soon in something. |
Sorry; I make peanut butter cookies as well as cookies that are rolled using cream cheese. The cream cheese ones are like old style bakery filled with raspberry or apricots; some call them bear claws; I've also put chocolate & crushed nuts in them. The peanut butter cookie recipe I use came from Skippy about 20 years ago. They're a huge hit. I do all sorts of variations with those; peanut butter cups; mini M&M's; walnuts; white chocolate chips. The link below says I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!- I changed it to butter. I've found that the cheap Walmart butter is horrible for cookies CLASSIC PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES link Directions Cost per recipe*: $4.32. Cost per cookie*: $0.06. *Based on average retail prices at national supermarkets. Nutrition Information per cookie with Creamy Peanut Butter |
Okay, I thought it was just me. I haven't baked a good Nestle C.Chip cookie in years! I've always used their pkg. recipe, the best, IMO. But mine also have been flat as a pancake. I've used butter, margerine, all softened, not melted, and they still come out flat. |
I've had the same problem with the Toll House recipe - I thought it was me, too! And, roselvr, that Walmart butter is the worst for baking: I think it has too much water in it. Dee |
I make Nestles Choc chip cookies just about once a week! They usually do not turn out flat. If the dough is warm, they will go flat. I put the dough in the refrigerator for a half an hour or so before baking. Also, don't put a second round on a hot cookie sheet. They will also go flat. I don't think there is anything wrong with the recipe. Just chill that dough! |
If the dough is warm, they will go flat. I put the dough in the refrigerator for a half an hour or so before baking. I let the butter soften on the counter for quite a while, so it was probably too warm. I'll remember the refrigerator step next time. My MIL is the cookie-queen and she always does that. I should have known! Thanks. |
I don't know what the difference is between the cheap walmart butter & say Shop Rite store brand butter; but I picked some up last year; left it over night; it seemed to have preservatives in it or something. I don't use Crisco; but that's what it reminded me of when the mixer tried to cream it. |

I was never thrilled with the way my Nestle tollhouse came out, but then a friend of mine (whose were always perfect) told me she adds an extra 1/2 cup of flour to the recipe --- perfect every time! |

I'm such an idiot some days. I never checked the recipe I had typed out in my email recipe folder against my actual paper recipe. I ended up making a new post over there & of course after I did that; I got out my recipe book & find there is a difference; has more of both sugars. :( need to drink more coffee before I post. This is the one I make Crisp Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients Directions 2. In large bowl with mixer at medium speed; beat butter & Peanut Butter until smooth. Beat in sugars until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until blended. Add flour mixture; beat until well blended. I then divide the dough; will add various chips or walnuts; heath baking pieces went over well last year; mini M&M's. You can also add M&M's or peanut butter cups after you flatten them If necessary, refrigerate dough until easy to handle. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten with fork dipped in sugar making crisscross pattern. *Note; depending on what version I make; I do not flatten or use the sugar on the fork. I have a spoon that I use just to flatten cookies with 4. Bake 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in tightly covered container. I normally rotate my cookie sheets 1/2 way through cooking |
I usually have the same problem with the Nestle recipe for choc. chip cookies coming out flat but still tasting good. Last time I made them, I decided to try the convection bake on my oven and sure enough the cookies came out nice and fluffy. I lowered the baking temp by 50 degrees and if I remember correctly, they did take a little bit longer to bake than they normally do. I rarely use a timer, as I just keep an eye on them. The texture of the cookies was more cake like and they did not brown much at all. Maybe some of the more experienced bakers here can comment on the convection bake method. |
I just had this problem with a cookie recipe I found on a blog. The picture had these thick yummy looking cookies but that is not how mine turned out. While researching why this happened I found an interesting answer. Over beating the butter and sugar was a cause I found several times. One place put the blame on our stand mixers, saying that we throw ingredients in the bowl and let it mix away while getting other things ready. Did out cookies come out flat when we mixed them by hand? Anyone mix by hand and have flat cookies? |
Came in to say that the butter was probably too soft...but y'all covered that. Let me add--back when I could still make cookies with wheat flour (before I developed celiac disease) I read somewhere that the toll house cookie recipe was even tastier if one made the dough one day and waited until the next day to bake. (Dough in the refrigerator over night.) It's TRUE. They texture of the cookies is much better. (Might have heard it on Good Eats or some-such?) |
Interesting about over mixing. Wouldn't it happen with all cookies though? |
Amj, apparently it's a common problem. You might find some help in this thread from the CF. |

Oh sorry. I did not click on your link yet and I should have. There is a another older thread about this and I thought you had found it. |
My CC cookie recipe calls for melted butter and I beat the sugar & butter until it changes color and ribbons (which means a long time!) and they don't come out flat at all. It's a crispy edge, chewy center kind of cookie. My guess is the baking soda was off. |

Ok, I made a batch of Nestles tonight. I hand mixed the batter. They were not flat. They were puffier than usual. I think there's a lot to the thought that over mixing makes the cookies flat. I would bet that that original recipe was made with the intention that the batter was to be hand mixed. That's a very old recipe - how common was it for people to have electic mixers when it was invented? Amj - I will be interested to hear how your experiment works out! Let us know. Dawn |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Sat, Nov 12, 11 at 2:46
amj: please post back when you get the chance. And Dawn I didn't know you could over cream the sugar/butter. Now I did know you could over mix the rest so I have always creamed with the mixer and done all the rest by hand. Never have I added the dry stuff with the mixer....and I have occasionally had flat cookies but it has been so many decades since I made a chocolate chip cookie that I can't tell you when LOL. If I made them we would have to eat them and DH can't resist chocolate. c |
Dawn; thanks for posting that |
Trailrunner - Someone mentioned it in that post over on the cooking forum about over-creaming. That's why I gave the hand mixing a try. I still think you can use an electric mixer to cream the ingredients but just not too much. My son came home from college with all his friends last night so I had an excuse to bake! I don't like to make them when it's only DH and I. They are tempting! Especially the batter! Roselvr - you're welcome. This forum is the best for solving all life's problems! :) |
- Posted by cooperbailey (My Page) on Sat, Nov 12, 11 at 22:57
AH Hah! I over mix and my butter is always warm- so thats why my cookies are flat- but when I ate chocolate-I loved them that way! less cake like and more cookie-ish. but I will make the dough and refrigerate overnight. I do happen to have a bag of choc chips- been awhile. |
I always mix cookie dough by hand, and only have the problem of too flat (but still delicious!) cookies when I don't let my cookie sheets cool down enough between batches, or if my butter is too soft. I also never bother with mixing my dry ingredients before mixing into the butter, sugar and eggs. What I do is cream the butter and sugar together, mix in the eggs and vanilla, then all the dry ingredients except the flour. Then I mix in the flour and chocolate chips, bake and enjoy! |

Okay, so my DGS is coming over for dinner so I thought I'd take the opportunity to make his favorite cookie (and, I confess, mine too) AND test out the theory of hand mixing versus kitchenaid mixing. The cookie is a peanut butter choc and peanut butter chip cookie, which never looked like the fluffy cookie in the recipe picture, much to my dismay. Of course, my grandson didn't care; the first time I made them, he asked me to write down the recipe for his mother and his other grandmother so everybody he knew could make them. (Love, love, love that boy!). Anyway, I creamed the butter and peanut butter with a hand mixer, and added the sugars, egg, vanilla, milk and mixed them with the hand mixer. I then mixed in by hand the dry ingredients and the chips. I also, though, sometimes soften the butter in the microwave, and I didn't this time. I just creamed the somewhat soft butter. They were perfect! Now that I think back, I think the flat cookies started with the kitchenaid. DS used to brag how my chocolate chip cookies were not flat. Thanks for all the info. |

Does anyone know of any videos that show you how to do the Cha Cha Slide? I have the description of the steps, although some I'm not quite sure what they mean. I was hopiong I'd be able to download something on-line but I haven't found anything. I recently discovered there is a video by C. Lane that has all the famous party dance steps, i.e macarena, electric slide, cotton eyed joe, etc. except for Cha Cha Slide. My daughter & I love dancing to these songs which I have on cd - it's part of our after lunch activities, but felt it would be great to be able to SEE them being performed.

Is it possible to take a long table and cut out a section and turn it into a leaf so the table can be smaller. I have a 70 inch table and I want it smaller , but I would like to make a leaf out of it also. Am i crazy or is it possible? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Everything is possible. Perhaps the hardest part is cutting the top so that the joints are clean. (My pick would be a rough cut with anything, followed by a bearing-guided router cutter on a straight template.) You might look at pre-made hardware for the extension (link below). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Table extenders
Your success will depend to some degree on what the table is made of. If it's particleboard or plywood then cutting into it will reveal some unsavory edges that you'll need to deal with. |
If I were going to do that, first I would buy and mount the sliding and locking hardware under the table. Then layout the two cuts----remembering that once the cut out leaf is removed, the remaining edges must match up very well. Actually, the best method of assuring that is to make a jig that spans the table and is the width of the desired leaf. The cuts also need to be made without chipping any of the new edges. The two cuts should be in the middle of the 4 pieces of locking hardware---and the locks should be mounted the same direction on each side---so the locks function without the leaf. Once the cuts are made---if everything still fits/works, you still need to install guide pins/sockets and apply a finish to the raw edges. So, yes it can be done, but it will be difficult. |
Take it to a cabinet shop with a panel saw. Should be able to cut the section right out. |
"Take it to a cabinet shop with a panel saw. Should be able to cut the section right out." Unless you cut from the back the panel saw will leave torn edges. Portable circular saws (what a panel saw uses) are used good side down so the teeth enter the work on the finish side and tear out is on the back as the teeth exit the wood. Regular shop type cabinet saws are the other way, good side up so the teeth enter into the finished side and the tear out is on the back also. |
I have yet to see a portable saw on our panel saw, I'll be sure to tell my boss that the saw we have that we cut two sided melamine on with very few/any chips is portable. |
