The California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) awarded a four-year, $950,694 grant to the Department of Science Education at CSULB to help improve science teaching in kindergarten through second grade.
The "K-2 Teaching Learning Collaborative" is a partnership between CSULB, Montebello and Garvey school districts in Los Angeles County, as well as the K-12 Alliance, a statewide professional development organization. CSULB's Department of Science Education is part of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and collaborates with the university's College of Education.
The grant will fund 42 teachers for a series of summer institutes and small group lesson study teams throughout each school year for the next three years. In addition, a small number of participants will receive additional support to become program facilitators at school sites. The project will also build on the work the districts have done to support English language learners. The summer institute will be coupled with district training in English language development (ELD) and specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE).
"It is our hope that the science institute will allow participants to build upon the skills they develop during the ELD institute by providing a content — science — in which to practice ELD and SDAIE strategies with their students," said Susan Gomez-Zwiep, assistant professor of science education.
She and Assistant Professor William Straits will coordinate the research component that will focus on the program's impact on student achievement and teacher growth. The current research plan will include both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.
The quantitative piece will utilize district ELD and language arts assessments to measure growth in those areas as well as instruments developed specifically for the program to gauge both student and teacher growth in science. The qualitative research methods will provide a deeper, more three-dimensional picture of teacher growth during the three years they participate in the program.
The grant program is modeled after an earlier CPEC program for grades 4-12 and a current program for teachers in grades 4-9 funded through a California Math Science Partnership grant in which CSULB and Montebello Unified and Garvey school districts are also partnered.
The current CPEC grant is part of the federal Improving Teacher Quality program funded under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. In the past two decades, CPEC has administered more than $93 million in federal grants to colleges and universities working with high-need K-12 schools in California.
"The program has had a long-term impact on helping teachers strengthen their content knowledge and their understanding of effective teaching strategies – key elements of education reform," said CPEC Chair Olivia Singh. "Cal State Long Beach Long Beach and its partner schools should be proud of the quality of their proposal and its potential for improving teaching and learning in the Long Beach area."
The California Postsecondary Education Commission advises the governor and legislature on higher education policy and fiscal issues. Its primary focus is to ensure that the state's educational resources are used effectively to provide Californians with postsecondary education opportunities.

So, I just got the game and haven't played in a tournament yet, but it seems (to me) that a big way to secure victories will be knowing every card in an objective set.
Afterall, if you know all the sets well, when the match begins you already know 30% of the opponent's deck! and with every card played from a new set, you know an extra 10% of your opponent's deck!
Since that knowledge can probably help a lot, I was thinking of developing mnemonics for every set. If you can recall a mnemonic for a set, you'd know all the cards for that set!
But I'm not very good at doing that it turns out… so I was wondering if anyone had had the same idea I've had or if anyone has developed mnemonics for other things and would like to tackle that challenge.
I'll update this post with a master list of mnemonics for all the sets if people contribute.
Edit: Here's a list of the names of all the cards up to Desolation of Hoth.

If you're a fan of the series that's synonymous with the term 'beat-'em-up', you'll have been warming up you fireball-shooting thumbs since Capcom confirmed another run. And boy was it worth the wait.
For those of you that never left the scene, it's finally time to put down Street Fighter III: Third Strike and say goodbye to 2D sprites. Capcom believes this is the best Street Fighter game it's ever made and we're inclined to agree.
From the moment you turn the game on and sit through the arty CGI intro, to the moment you chuck your first punch and see the game's incredible visuals, you can feel the amount love poured into making this game.
Brightly lit with vivid colours, the environments look amazing, while the character models are as expressive as they are detailed. Faces express all the anger behind every punch thrown as well as being on the receiving end. Lips curl and eyes pop out as giant balls of plasma and killer uppercuts shatter bones.
This is traditional Street Fighter. It may have incredible looks, but under that hides Capcom's core gameplay.
A lot of games are criticised for being too similar to their predecessors, but in Street Fighter IV's case its retro style is exactly what you want.
Core gameplay has been streamlined back to how it used to be in SFII. It does away with the layers of extra guff that had been added through the years, meaning no parries, jugglers or any of that madness.
This isn't just a throwback to the old days, but part of an effort to open up Street Fighter to a broader audience. It has, after all, been made so increasingly complex that only seasoned players could actually get to grips the more recent editions.
So this is easy for all to play, right? Not entirely. Those of us who've pulled off Shoryukens and understand what 'quarter-circle-forwards-light-punch' mean needn't worry.
If, on the other hand, you've spent your years absorbed in more modern-age 3D fighters like Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur or Tekken, even the "simplicities" of SFIV can, these days, be comparatively daunting and complicated for total beginners.
Even if you are reasonably proficient at doing a fireball with Ryu, the game's so-called Normal mode is nails. You'll want to get better, which calls for some training.
Trouble is the Training mode doesn't explain things very well. A Trial mode is the nearest you get to in-game help, asking you to perform a series of moves with the button combinations shown on screen.
But as it moves from single-button moves to performing quick, complex, combo's, the game only gives you the buttons required to pull it off, with no explanation or demonstration as to the technique or timing needed.
Take that as you will - a criticism if you're new to the series (because you're going to struggle) or a compliment if you're a big fan because, to you, this is the ultimate skill-based fighter and you don't need help.
The requirement of multi-button sequences and precise, split-second timing makes it tough for total newbies to get anything out of SF IV. Not like DOA or Soul Calibur, in which double-tapping a direction and hammering some kick-punch combos can garner immediately satisfying (if a little fluky) results.
Still, SFIV has more than it's share of hidden complexities that the more hardcore of you will spend the next six months and beyond trying to master.
Focus Attacks are one of the most significant additions. Hit both medium punch and kick buttons at the same time and your character enters a defensive stance (the longer you hold the buttons the longer the stance is held). In this stance your character can absorb a single blow without taking any damage.

Jane Haggard
Office: Health 244 Bryan Campus
Phone: 979.209.7295
A member of the Blinn College faculty since 1998, Dr. Jane Haggard received her M.Ed from Southwestern Oklahoma State University and a Doctorate in Higher Education (Speech Communication Specialization) from Oklahoma State University. Her committee service and initiative involvement (at Blinn College) has included the following; Distance Education Advisory Committee, Assessment Committee, Academic Standards Committee, Curriculum Committee, Program Review Committee, Foundation Scholarship Committee, Quality Enhancement Plan Team, Scholastic Dishonesty Committee, Service Learning Program Development Task Force, Service Learning Pilot Program, Blended Course Design Team and Blended Course Pilot Project. Her commitment to student mentorship is revealed through her being named as a recipient of the Phi Theta Kappa Horizon Award (1999), the NISOD Teaching Excellence Award (1998), and Who's Who Among America's Teachers (2000, 2003, 2004, 2005). Notably, she designs her classes to include experientially-based learning, theme driven venues, acts as an advocate for service learning methodology, and bases curriculum development in constructivism.
Constructivism is "a theory of learning that assumes the deepest learning happens when students construct their own knowledge or seek their own meaning rather than learn by memorizing and practicing with rote drills and factual recall. Constructivism is oriented toward discovery, problem solving, and inquiry approaches to teaching, with the goal of fostering rich understanding" (Collison, Elbaum, Haavind & Tinker, 2000).
In reference to her on-line teaching efforts she presented at the 2002 TCCTA Pre-Convention in the category of "Successful Online Courses: Best Practice Showcase" and participated in a Fall 2002 televised panel discussion which focused on distance learning issues. Additionally, Dr. Haggard has been featured in the 2003 Allyn & Bacon release, "Ethics and the Foundations of Education: Teaching Convictions in a Postmodern World" authored by Patrick Slattery & Dana Rapp. Additionally, in reference to her work with service learning she was lead author in the 2007 Journal of College and Character publication, "Factors Contributing to the Successful Implementation of a Community College Service Learning Program: Proactive Leadership, Program Infrastructure, Professional Development, and Program Evaluation. Dr. Haggard currently teaches Business and Professional Speaking (blended format) and Public Speaking (online format).

Monte Arlen Parker, Jr. Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings on April 7, 2009, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, MONTE ARLEN PARKER, JR., a 22-year-old resident of Lame Deer, pled guilty to robbery. Sentencing is set for July 8, 2009. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On the evening of November 23, 2008, agents were dispatched to the Cheyenne Depot store in Lame Deer to investigate a robbery.
Upon their arrival, the two cashiers were interviewed. They stated that just before midnight, a man wearing a red bandana and women's sunglasses exited the bathroom. The man looked similar to PARKER, a former employee at the store. He had sprayed one of the cashiers in the face with pepper spray, causing her pain, while making threats to both of them. The man then proceeded to the cash registers and took approximately $3,000 and left the store. Further investigation in the vicinity that PARKER fled was conducted and a pair of women's sunglasses similar to those worn by PARKER were recovered.
Interviews were conducted with PARKER'S girlfriend. In her second statement she disclosed that PARKER had told her he was going to rob the Cheyenne Depot and that he took a pair of her sunglasses and pepper spray with him. PARKER already had a red bandana in his possession. The girlfriend reviewed video surveillance footage of the robbery and confirmed the man robbing the store was in fact PARKER. She also identified the sunglasses recovered as belonging to her.
Several other witnesses were interviewed who had additional information relating to PARKER'S involvement in the robbery, as well as information about PARKER being terminated from the store for employee theft.
When interviewed, PARKER admitted that he had robbed the Cheyenne Depot. He confirmed his own identity in the surveillance video and estimated that he stole approximately $3,000 from the store, most of which he had already spent.
PARKER faces possible penalties of 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and 3 years supervised release.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori Harper Suek prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

Elizabeth and Trent were married here in Topeka at Sacred Heart Catholic Church last Sat., July 13th, 2013. It was a beautiful sunny day here in Topeka for a wedding! Elizabeth and Trent were a lot of fun to photograph, they had a lot of great photo ideas. After the wedding we went to Warde Meade Park (now known as Old Prairie Town).
The reception was held at The Great Overland Station in North Topeka near the new 'NOTO' art district. Pepe & Chela's catered the mexican themed dinner and Sweet Dreams furnished the beautiful, tasty cake! Everything got started pretty early in the evening so there was a lot of really great natural light for photos for most of the reception and dance.

The Hanover Planning Commission feels that projecting a 2 percent average annual growth rate is too aggressive for the Comprehensive Plan in today's environment.
The Commission held a workshop April 11 to focus on the latest update to the planning document. The Comp Plan looks at land use, transportation, and community facilities needs over a 20-year period, and the plan is re-examined every five years, as required by state law.
The workshop was the commission's first since holding a series of public input meetings throughout the county in February and March.
"We did receive a tremendous amount of input at all six of the community meetings," Planning Director David Maloney told the commission. "The modifications to both the text and maps being presented this evening are in large part as a result of that input that we have received."
The commission spent over two hours discussing various facets of the draft plan.
Cold Harbor planning commissioner Ashley Peace brought up the population projections.
The current plan projects the county's population to grow between 1.5 and 2.5 percent annually for the next 20 years, for an average annual growth of 2 percent.
The average annual growth rate over the past five years has been roughly half a percent.
"The 2 percent just seems very aggressive, so I don't know if there's any opportunity to scale that back just a little bit?" Peace suggested.
Maloney said, "I'm not disagreeing with you at all in the short run. The 2 percent is probably very optimistic, but we don't know what that new normal is. So, if we're going to change it, what are we changing it to, and what are we basing that change on?
"Because of the very unusual conditions we've experienced over the last four or five years, we don't have a good set of reliable data to tell us what the future's going to be."
Chairman Harold Padgett, Chickahominy commissioner, asked what might be the impact of lowering the projected annual average growth rate to 1.5 percent.
Maloney described the Comp Plan as a "placeholder rather than an exact predictor." The growth rate is used to project the need for public facilities such as schools and libraries. If the projection exceeds reality, then those facilities would merely be delayed.
"But that placeholder is still in the comprehensive plan. Then whenever that need occurs, it's still consistent with the plan. It's just a matter of timing," Maloney explained.
Peace said, "I do think it's extremely critical and important for planning on how you're allocating your resources, and I think over-projecting our potential growth moving forward also sends a message that is not accurate or correct to the community."
She continued, "We certainly heard a lot throughout the community meetings that people are almost afraid of too much density, too much growth, too many people moving into the county, when in reality the likelihood of that happening in the next five to 10 years is almost zero. So I just think that it creates a sense of fear and urgency that doesn't actually exist."
The commission decided to scale back the average annual growth rate to 1.5 percent—the low end of the current 1.5 to 2.5 percent range.
Planning staff also revised the draft update to put a cap on residential density.
Under the current plan, the multi-family land use designation has the greatest density, with a range of eight to 15 dwelling units per acre. However, the county's mixed-use ordinance allows for double the plan's recommended density, allowing for potential densities of up to 30 units per acre under the proper zoning.
"It's challenging to envision a development of that significance in the context of Hanover County. That really is a very urban scale of development. We are clearly a suburban and rural locality," Maloney said.
Staff's proposed amendment would limit residential density to no more than 15 units per acre, even in cases of mixed-use developments.
"From the staff's perspective, [anything greater] would be out of character for Hanover County," Maloney said.
The Planning Commission has scheduled additional Comp Plan work sessions May 9 and May 16. Both meetings begin at 4 p.m. in the Board Room (auditorium) in the County Administration Building.
These meetings are not public hearings, but all interested individuals are invited to attend.
More information about the Comprehensive Plan update, including working text drafts, is available online at www.co.hanover.va.us/planning/compplan2012.htm.

Smeal Graduate Provides Gift to Promote Leadership
Penn State alumni Anthony J. and Marta M. Buzzelli have committed $300,000 to enhance leadership development in the Smeal College of Business through the Anthony Buzzelli Endowment for Leadership.
The endowment will provide sustainable annual funding for the college's Sapphire Leadership Symposium and other programs that nurture leadership qualities in business students.
Buzzelli's service as a mentor to Smeal students spans many years. Most recently, he worked with Sapphire students who were developing the Sapphire Leadership Symposium. Thanks to funding from this new gift, the symposium will continue to grow and develop to meet the needs of students who are exploring concepts in leadership.
"I am convinced that well-designed leadership development opportunities are essential to the future success of today's college students," Buzzelli said. "The Smeal College provides an amazing value to young people and their families—strong academics delivered in an atmosphere of honor, integrity, and respect. Marta and I hope our gift will allow for continuity as the college develops innovative leadership opportunities that touch a wide range of students."
Buzzelli retired in May 2011 from Deloitte where he was vice chairman and regional managing partner for the Pacific Southwest. His 40 year career with the company included positions as national managing partner for U.S. regions, member of the executive committee, member of the board of directors and operating committee, and deputy managing partner for U.S. firms.
Well known for practicing what he preaches in the area of leadership, Mr. Buzzelli has long provided guidance to organizations in the communities where he has worked and lived. He has served on the board of the United Way Los Angeles, the LA Police Foundation, World Affairs Council, Town Hall Los Angeles, the Southern California Leadership Network, and the California Science Center.
"The Smeal community thanks Tony and Marta for this wonderful investment in our students," said Charles H. Whiteman, the John and Becky Surma Dean of Smeal. "Our undergraduates will find many opportunities to be leaders during their time on campus. The Buzzelli Endowment will ensure that we can offer meaningful activities that will allow them to examine their experiences and learn from them in an even deeper way."
In addition to this gift, the couple created the Anthony and Marta Buzzelli Trustee Scholarship in 2010. The scholarship supports Accounting majors with financial need. Mr. Buzzelli has been a member of the Smeal Board of Visitors since 2005 and has served on the Accounting Advisory Board. He was named Accounting Alumnus of the Year in 2003. He graduated with a degree in accounting in 1971. Mrs. Buzzelli is a 1971 graduate of the College of the Liberal Arts where she majored in English. The Buzzellis reside in Somerset, Va. They have three children.
The Anthony Buzzelli Endowment for Leadership will advance the Smeal College toward its goals in the current University-wide fundraising effort, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. The campaign is directed toward a shared vision of Penn State as the most comprehensive, student-centered research university in America. The University is engaging Penn State's alumni and friends as partners in achieving six key objectives: ensuring student access and opportunity, enhancing honors education, enriching the student experience, building faculty strength and capacity, fostering discovery and creativity, and sustaining the University's tradition of quality. The campaign's top priority is keeping a Penn State degree affordable for students and families. The For the Future campaign is the most ambitious effort of its kind in Penn State's history, with the goal of securing $2 billion by 2014.

Chogath is pretty weak in 3v3...
Junior Member
Personally I like the old araragi build which does: Doran's ring + pot Boots (sorc boots normally)/ Mejai's then rush GA then get the 740 MR item first and finish banshee's (game is usually over before its finished) Once you get the MR item, you have approx 140 armor and 110 MR which makes you VERY hard to kill especially if you've been good at keeping up with your feasts. I also go 9/0/21 on this build Why go defensive if you aren't going dodge runes? My runes are magic pen marks, hp / per level (think about changing to mana regen like you said), cd reduction and i have move speed quints, but would like to replace with something else at some point. I do like ignite to kill healers and mundo types and for that last little bit if your feast doesn't finish them off. Frankly neglecting MR makes you a very easy kill for nuke heavy teams and lowers you viability. Also why go all that AP without magic pen?
I prefer building Aegis / Shroud on Cho'Gath, but that's just me. If the enemy team is whoring DPS guys, Frozen Heart is a no-brainer. If it's casters, I go either Abyssal or Banshee's Veil. Ignore the haters, Warmogs is a viable choice since Cho'Gath can farm fairly well. Just make sure you get some MR, or it's Madreds and gg.
so this is what you do when you get banned from tl.net?
Well the build looks reasonable in some aspects but it´s always wrong to get Warmoggs. Saying that you need defense to maintain Stacks may be alright but A) Warmoggs is a terrible terrible item that is very inefficient (even full!) and isn´t worth it on anyone. If you need HP that much just grab two Giants Belts. Not to mention that you save all the Time needed to farm Warmoggs and it´s stacks. B)If Enemys see Cho and want to kill him they gear anti-max HP like Bloodrazor and Deathfire Grasp since with 6 stacks he has the highest base HP out of any champion. That makes ridiculus HP even worse even if Warmoggs WAS cost effective. You are better served with Guardian Angel if you can avoid dieing every 2 Minutes (you should, ESPECIALLY as cho).

Home › About TU › News, Events and Publications › University News › Film Studies gets Hollywood help
Thursday, November 08, 2012
A film studies class is getting real-world experience working with author/screenplay writer S.E. Hinton and Hollywood director Ed Ornelas.
The students are producing films based on short stories by Hinton, a TU alumna who wrote The Outsiders and Rumblefish. They are filming in downtown Tulsa and even on campus, where they transformed a dormitory basement into a somber prison visitation room.
Student film-makers are getting a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet and learn from some entertainment industry insiders.>> KTUL (ABC) news story
Ornelas (Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice), a friend of Film Studies Professor Jeff Van Hanken, flew in from California to help the students direct a key scene. "When I was a film student, I had a lot of questions about what it was like to work on these large-scale shows," Ornelas said. "And having lived in L.A. for 15 years now, I'm able to come out here and hopefully share some of that experience with the young filmmakers."
Ornelas said he was impressed with the students' abilities and enthusiasm, and he complimented the university on its commitment to the film studies program. He said the equipment and facilities were top-notch and give TU students a great starting point to launch promising careers.
The students were appreciative of the opportunity to work with high-level professionals in the television and movie industry. "We're here in Oklahoma, so we don't get a lot of L.A. people coming down to see us and want to film here," said junior Bailey Ardies, who is producing one of the short stories. "So any time a movie comes to Oklahoma, and we get to work with somebody, that's really exciting for us."
Director Tim Hunter, who has worked on TV projects including Pretty Little Liars, Glee, Dexter, Saving Grace, Mad Men, House M.D. and CSI, also was scheduled to work with the class on the Hinton stories. Van Hanken said allowing the students to collaborate with entertainment industry insiders is great experience and builds their confidence as well as their résumé.

"My daughter LOVED the cards, Her pictures came out perfect. You have the option of writing something on the back for no extra charge so we put the date, time and address of graduation location. The quality was outstanding and we couldn't believe how fast they were shipped to us, we got them in less than a week!!"
"This was by far the fastest shipping I've ever had from a company. Not only did they arrive nearly a week ahead of time, they were also the exact colors and size I designed them to be. Great job, and as this being my first order, I will most definitely be using Tiny Prints again for my special occasion. Very well pleased!"
"Everyone I gave this graduation announcement to loved it! The quality of the paper and the actual picture quality was excellent! Would order this product again. Probably for my Christmas cards."
"Great price for cardstock. Much nicer than photo paper. I love how many photos fit on this announcement. The background color is very masculine. Delivery was VERY fast. I kept the corners square. Rounded corners will chop part of your picture."
"We got started a little late with ordering our graduation announcements, so I never thought I would find something that would get to us on time. TINYPRINTS came through! We loved the layout and design of this card while viewing it online. When it came, we loved it even more. This was the perfect announcement for my daughter's graduation. Set set up was a breeze, and the quality is top notch!"

ATLANTA—The stakes were higher for Louisville.
The Cardinals were the team designated as the overall No. 1 in this year's NCAA tournament. Rick Pitino, who had been named to the Basketball Hall of Fame earlier in the day, was the mentor who had a chance to stand alone as the only coach to guide two different schools to the national championship.
The rewards were nearly as monumental on Monday night for Michigan, the first No. 4 seed to play in the championship game since Arizona won it all in 1997.
Whether they realized it or not, the Wolverines were carrying a banner for the entire Big Ten, which had only won one national championship since Michigan last won in 1989. A victory would ease the disappointment of the recruiting cloud that vacated its 1992 and '93 Final Four appearances.
When it comes to the one-and-done Big Dance, though, there's no room for missteps.
Michigan has nothing to be ashamed of, but some things to be disappointed about it after holding an early 12-point lead.
Looking like the more experienced team, which it was, Louisville cranked up the intensity in the second half and defeated the young Wolverines 82-76 to win its first national championship since 1986.
``We beat a great basketball team,'' Pitino said. ``I had the 13 toughest guys I've ever coached. All through my life, I've had great players. Players put coaches in the Hall of Fame.''
Michigan took it to Louisville for a time, opening a 33-21 lead, but the Cardinals roared back, leaving the Wolverines clinging to a 38-37 halftime lead.
When Trey Burke, the national player of the year, went to the bench with two fouls, the situation looked ominous. But the Wolverines simply rolled out their secret weapon: Spike Albrecht, the 5-11 freshman from Crown Point, Ind., poured in all 17 of his points in the first half.
Albrecht, whose career high had been only seven points, went 4-for-4 from three-point range. He even went to the basket twice—and he doesn't look old enough to drive.
Down 12 less than four minutes before halftime, the Cardinals answered back with authority. Sixth-man Luke Hancock, the hero of Louisville's rally to beat Wichita State on Saturday, poured in three-pointers on four straight trips down the floor. Hancock led Louisville with 22 points, 16 before halftime.
``[It's about] the heart of this team,'' said Hancock, named the Final Four's most outstanding player. ``We just went into war against a great Michigan team. We needed a rally. We've been doing it a couple games straight, being down. We just had to wait and make our run.''
A transition dunk by Montrezl Harrell put Louisville on top 37-36 with 21 seconds left, pumping Cardinals' fans into a frenzy and setting the stage for a big-time finish to the college basketball season.
Beyond the implications, both teams were intent on making the most of this opportunity as the last two teams standing in the one-and-done crapshoot known as the NCAA tournament.
This has been quite a week for Pitino. His son, Richard, was named basketball coach at Minnesota. A racehorse he co-owns, Goldencents, won the Santa Anita Derby to become a Kentucky Derby favorite. And he's in the Final Four for the seventh time, with a chance to add a shining moment to the national championship he won in 1996 while at Kentucky. Louisville was seeking its title since 1986.
But this has been quite a month for Michigan. A No. 5 seed in the Big Ten tournament, the Wolverines took their No. 4 seed in the Big Dance and ran with it. They were a popular pick to lose to VCU, a virtual lock to fall to Kansas and not expected to cope with Syracuse's zone.
Surprise. The Wolverines handled all of those challenges. Until it ran into Louisville.

A lot of California wine-drinkers and wine-producers would call them "fightin' words". But the governor of Washington state didn't mince them today when she called California wines "jug wine".
Gov. Chris Gregoire says no other state can compete with the quality of Washington's wine. She underlined the point, recalling a trade mission to Europe in which someone asked her about California wine. Her response was: "They make jug wine. We make fine wine."
Central Coast winemakers beg to disagree. Gary Eberle, owner of Eberle Winery in Paso Robles is kind of considered the unofficial Godfather of the Paso Robles wine region. He didn't flinch at the governor's quote. "From the many, many blind wine competitions, California has proven itself as one of the premier wine producing regions of the world." and he added "Washington does buy a lot of California grapes...."
Gary Stemper, owner of Eagle Castle Winery in Paso Robles found it hard to believe the Washington leader would say something like that. "Remember it was California wines that scored over French wines at the French Connection blind tasting, not Washington wines."
And Christopher Taranto of the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance had a tongue-in-cheek response. "Well, I wonder what that says about her exposure to wines of California that hasn't been encumbered by what is available through the great state of Washington's liquor control board? Just kidding there Gov! Love me some WA pinots"
Gregoire's remarks came as she signed a capital construction budget that includes $5 million toward a Wine Science Center in Richland

The Oakland Athletics have acquired Chris Young from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for infielder Cliff Pennington and Yordy Cabrera, who was immediately shipped to the Miami Marlins in exchange for reliever Heath Bell. The Diamondbacks also receive cash considerations from the Marlins.
The Athletics have set themselves up nicely to feature an excellent defensive outfield in 2013 with Yoenis Cespedes likely to stay in left, Young in center and Josh Reddick in right. Young looked like "Matt Kemp on a budget" early in 2012 before suffering a shoulder contusion midway through April. He never really got back to where he was offensively, finishing the season roughly around his career averages at .231/.311/.434.
Young will earn $8.5 million next season, with an $11 million club option looming for the 2014 season. This is a very Oakland Athletics acquisition.
Despite acquiring the least recognizable name of the four players who were swapped, the Marlins make the most obvious gains in today's trade, even if it's a matter of addition by subtraction. In cutting ties with Heath Bell, the Marlins are no longer on the hook for all of the $21 million owed to him through 2014 or the 2015 vesting option that would kick in if he made 55 appearances in the final year of the deal. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports that the Marlins have agreed to cover $8 million of Bell's remaining contract. Bell struggled famously in 2012 after arriving in Miami via free agency, finishing the season as a middle reliever and posting some ugly numbers: 5.09 ERA; 3.72 FIP; 4.02 xFIP and eight blown saves.
The Diamondbacks picked up closer J.J. Putz's option on earlier on Saturday, effectively extinguishing any chance of Bell assuming the role before they actually acquired him.
Cabrera was selected in the second round of the 2010 amateur draft out of Lakeland, Florida. He spent 2012 in high-A ball with the Stockton Ports, appearing 60 games and posting a .232/.293/.332 triple slash line to go along with three home runs and nine doubles.
Pennington moved to second base with the Athletics after the club acquired Stephen Drew from the Diamondbacks. Drew's two-year deal signed with the Diamondbacks in 2010 holds a mutual option for 2013 worth $10 million. He could still be in the Athletics plans, especially considering the decision to ship Pennington today.
The Athletics and Marlins look like instant winners in this deal. The former pick up a great defensive outfielder with decent offensive upside, while the latter rid themselves of a significant portion of a terrible contract. The Diamondbacks, although acquiring some financial assistance along with Bell's final two years, have pulled off a bit of a head scratcher considering the return of Putz and David Hernandez holding down late inning work just fine.

A flock of robins is teaching their young ones to fly. Meanwhile, a boy with an air rifle is shooting at everything in the house. He goes out into the garden and shoots at a nest, then at one of the little birds. The bird falls to the ground, and it appears that the boy has killed it.
The robins stage a bird funeral. The boy's conscience gets to him, and he falls to his kneels, crying and praying for the bird. The sky also weeps with large tears of rain, which cause the little bird to awaken. The rainbow appears, and the boy breaks his air rifle and feeds the birds, never to menace them again.

As we were expecting, Criterion have unveiled their reboot for Need for Speed Most Wanted in a tasty trailer and in-game demonsration during EA's E3 press conference. Need for Speed Most Wanted will let you "become the Most Wanted," allowing you to race, chase and explore an open world environment. /assets/js/ckfinder/userfiles/images/mostwanted_023.jpg The demonstration showcased a Porsche 911 in the midst of a brutal high speed pursuit, where Criterion's trademark appetite for destruction was fully realised. Takedowns seem to be firmly back in place as the Porsche wrecked a countless number of police cars, and it seems as if the environment will also be destructable with ample debris to smash into. The open city is said to include all manner of jumps, shortcuts and off road excursions, as demonstrated when the Porsche darted through narrow alleyways. Players will also be able to switch cars to elude the cops. /assets/js/ckfinder/userfiles/images/multiplayer.jpg Unsurprisingly, Criterion's revolutionary Autolog will reutrn in a big way. The second generation of the superb stat-tracking system is said to be more comprehensive than ever before, broadcasting your most newsworthy scores, speeds and times along with details such as number of cop cars crashed, and air-time on jumps to friends. It will reportedly be more personalised too, allowing you to "teach Autolog 2.0 who you really want to beat" to alter your recommendations accordingly. Speed points are then earnt as you rank up to become the Most Wanted. Criterion's Executive Producer Matt Webster commented: "Criterion is shaking up the franchise with Need for Speed Most Wanted. This is Most Wanted for a new generation of players. We've brought everything we know about racing, chasing and exploration and smashed them together in a highly connected open world automotive experience. Whether driving solo or racing with friends in our amazing new multiplayer experience, Autolog fires up competition out of everything as players compete to be most wanted amongst their friends." A fairly predictable roster of cars adhering to Need for Speed's usual taste for exotica and American muscle can be seen in the trailer, including the obligatory Porsche 911 and Lamborghini Aventador along with an Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Nissan GTR and Dodge Challenger. There was one surprise hidden in the car list however - a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor was featured prominantly battering through police roadblocks, which marks the first licensed off-road pickup seen in a Need for Speed game since Need for Speed: Underground 2. The more observant of you will have probably noticed a notable omission - despite our hopes, there doesn't seem to be any car customisation in Need for Speed Most Wanted judging from the trailer, despite it being a central part of the original Most Wanted game. Ah well. It therefore seems that Criterion are aiming to play to their strengths, but we're suitably impressed by what we've seen from Most Wanted so far. As we predicted in our E3 preview, it looks to show Criterion at their very best, utilising their renowned damage modelling and terrifying sense of speed and apply it to a detailed open city environment. It's as if Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Burnout Paradise just met in a spectacular head-on collision. Become the Most Wanted in Criterion's new Need for Speed on October 30th.

One man was stabbed to death and another was injured in what is believed to have been an assault on the two men in broad daylight on a busy stretch of Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill on March 6.
Police responded to a call of a stabbing outside 126-19 Jamaica Ave. at 3:33 p.m. and found the victim, Jose Rubio, 32, who lived at 148-48 88 Ave. in Briarwood. He was transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, which is only a few blocks away from the scene, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
A second victim, a 17-year-old Hispanic man, had minor injuries as a result of being hit in the shoulder with a rock. He refused medical attention at the scene.
Police say they believe the two were attacked by a group of men while walking along Jamaica Avenue. A motive has not yet been established.
There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
The stabbing oocurred less than a quarter of a mile from where a man was shot to death outside a nightclub in January.

CTRL Company Overview
CTRL Company HistoryCTRL Systems, Inc. was founded and incorporated in 1989. The company was initially formed to provide marketing and development support for the CTRL SeriesTM computer maintenance management system (CMMS) program. Some of the earliest users of the CTRL Series for equipment and fleet management include Frito Lay, Core States Bank, Kenan Transport, and Brigham Young University. In 1992, CTRL became a master distributor of the CTRL UL101 (UL101) ultrasonic inspection device (formerly marketed as the "Ultraphonic 101" and originally designed for the U.S. military). This product utilizes a specific ultrasonic frequency range to provide non-intrusive and non-destructive pre-failure detection of potential problems in critical mechanical and electrical equipment. The synergy of the potential market for the UL101, combined with CTRL's existing customer base and success in this market, made this a logical product extension. In 1994, CTRL acquired exclusive rights for manufacturing and distribution of the UL101. Significant Achievements1998 - Research & DevelopmentPhD level scientists with more than 120 patents to their name were brought together to form the new CTRL laboratory in order to advance ultrasonic technology to a new level.2001 - NASA Selects CTRL UL101Astronauts used the UL101 for various applications including the detection of gas leaks, and it is now a permanent fixture on the ISS.

biographical name(born 1768, Old Piqua, in modern Clark county, Ohio, U.S.died Oct. 5, 1813, near Thames River, Upper Canada) Shawnee Indian chief. As a boy during the American Revolution, Tecumseh participated in combined British and Indian attacks on American colonists. In 1794 he fought unsuccessfully against Gen. Anthony Wayne. He eventually established a confederation made up of members of the Creek and other nations. In 1811 his brother's attack on William H. Harrison's troops at Tippecanoe, Ind., ended in defeat. As the War of 1812 approached, Tecumseh assembled his followers under the British banner and captured Detroit. Several lesser successes followed, ending with his death at the Thames River in what is now Ontario, marking the end of Indian resistance in the Old Northwest (as the East North Central states were sometimes known).

Hi All,
I was offered some red Camellia seeds in a trade. Can seeds be collected from Camellias? If the seeds can be collected, do they grow true to the parent plant collected from? Also, which opart of the flower are theycollected from? Are the seed pods/heads like Rose hips? Thanks for the help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, some Camellias set seeds. I don't know about all varities but the Japonicas do. Sometimes, they will be true to the parent plant. Sometimes they will be even better. Usually they aren't as pretty, but still make nice green bushes. They form a big pod after the bloom drops off. Some will be as large as a half dollar and contain 4 or 5 seeds. The pod should ripen on the bush. It will take a few years before you see any blooms on your seedlings. |
the plant from seed might be similar in appearance to one of the parents, but will in fact be a cross between the two and not genetically true to either. that is how we have so many beautiful named selections. the only way a plant can be identical to one of these is if it is cutting grown. plant them and see what you get. might be something new and different. the seeds will resemble a small nut. i am not sure how long the seed remain viable, but they should be planted pretty soon after harvest in the fall to get good germination. make sure the seed you are trading for are fresh or have been properly stored. |
Here is a link that might be useful: camellia culture
What a great link, Jeff! Thanks for sharing it. |

Ahh, I finally found something that will show me how to get those seeds to pop open. Thanks for the link. I have some Camellia Sinensis and was curious if they were gonna pop or not. |
ooh...I just found what I am guessing is a seed pod on my camellia. (Don't know much about what kind yet.) This may sound like a dumb question (very new gardener) but will I be able to tell when the pod is ripe? Right now it is a big, green glob. Thanks, Susan |
susan, the pods will turn brown and break open, revealing the seeds, when they are ready. |
My dad has grown a number of camellias from seed, and while I wouldn't throw dirt clods at any of them, he's not yet come across 'the exceptional child'. I know another fellow in Jeff's area who's been growing camellias, rhododendrons, and native azaleas from seed for better than 40 years, and he's indicated that of the thousands of rhodies & azaleas he's grown, only a handful were not 'keepers', but he's yet to grow out a camellia seedling that was equal to a good named-variety plant, so now he merely uses his seedlings as rootstocks to graft the newer prize-winning selections onto. |

Hey, Melody, I hope the hurricane didn't wreck your garden. I've easily germinated lots of camellia seeds (and some have germinated under my bushes where they've fallen) but only one has bloomed so far: a dead ringer for its parent (guessing it was pollinated from the same plant). The others are too young (it takes at least 4-5 years) for blossoms, but I'm hopeful some of them will prove attractive. |
This is getting to be the right time in most places to pick the seed pods. I have picked a few already. Once you pick them, set them in a dry spot and the pods will soon pop open by themselves within a couple of days, revealing the seeds. I usually germinate mine immediately, placing them in a ziploc bag of moist sphagnum moss, and leave the bag outside where it is warm. Once the seeds germinate (2-3 weeks) you can move them to a pot. I put several germinated seeds in a single pot for a year or so, then separate them into individual pots the next year. This is a much quicker method for starting seedlings than planting them in a pot or in the ground. You save a whole year. |

Thanks for the link and the info everyone. I too have some fruits ripening and want to start them so this is exactly what I was looking for. I have a large property and am concerned about deer damage, so I figured I'd start some seedlings and get a bunch going and if the deer bother them then so be it. At least they wont be lunching on a prized cultivar! Thanks all again. |

Forrestal or anybody with insight, Have you ever heard of soaking the seeds before planting, because I saw on another site that you should soak them first and then plant them. What is your germination rate with this method? |
I think it depends on the freshness of the seeds. If fresh and germinated right away, I have found that no soaking is necessary, and germination rate is close to 100 percent using the ziploc with sphagnum moss. If its been a few weeks and they are dry, soaking seems to help but I still get a few duds. If they can't be germinated immediately, they can be refrigerated in a moist (not wet) storage bag and then germinated later with pretty good results. (Some people actually say that works better.) And finally, the lesson I learned this year, that if the dog gets ahold of the ziploc while you are germinating them, the rate is zero!! ^._.^ |

Anyone have an opinion on the black seed coat. I know they say to nick it to allow moisture in, but I have found that with a little care and a nut cracker I can remove the whole thing. The seeds then resemble a small gladiolus corm. Good idea or no? |
- Posted by laura_gardener_2009 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 3, 09 at 10:40
If I'm not interested in harvesting seeds, should I remove the camellia pods on my sasanquas in order to increase the future blooms? |
- Posted by claudiajohnson 6 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 2, 11 at 12:07
we are living in VA and we have a beatiful two tone Camellia bush in the yard we have some baby ones growing underneath the bush and we have lots of seeds "balls"/ in January we will be moving back to Kyrgystan Central Asia zone 6? i would love to take the small growths and some seeds with me to plant later in my garden. any suggestions- should i leave the small plants in the ground just before we fly- the seeds should i pick them and put them in the fridge in a ziplock or should i dry them and store them in an envelope? |
Camellia seed is best sowed right away but Camforest Nursery Folks say that you can also store seeds at about 40 degrees F in a fridge for several months. But do you know if you will be allowed into the country with seeds or cuttings??? Here in the US, for example, you would not be allowed to bring plants and sopil from some places unless you go thru hoops. |
in soil from some countries unless you go thru hoops. |
Most of the plants that are heavy seed setters -- the seeds end up being like the seed parent , thats because they are " self pollinated"-- the are not usually better for that reason. Main purpose to utilize them is to use them as understock |

Protect Retirement Savings by Expecting the Unexpected
June 26, 2009
There is no such thing as a sure thing, especially when it comes to investing. Even CDs, among the safest of all places to put your money, can fall in value due to an external factor such as inflation.
However, the constant presence of risk should not prevent us from planning to minimize risk. Especially if you are approaching retirement, risk has lost its appeal. It's time to protect retirement savings.
Here are two potential threats that, while not worth panicking over, are certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Global Currency
China and Russia have both floated the idea of a "global super currency" that would replace the U.S. dollar as the global default currency. It is truly impossible to know what the exact effect of such a change would mean to American savers, but it's hard to imagine that the U.S. dollar would benefit.
Savers looking to counter this risk may want to consider maintaining some deposit accounts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. government has been spending a tremendous amount of cash over the past year and a half, trying to stop the U.S. from slipping into a deep economic depression. Estimates are that government commitments to economic assistance programs may reach up to $10 trillion.
Anytime such dollar figures are being bandied about, and meanwhile the value of gold has risen 25 percent in six months, people start to fear inflation.
Inflation is the worst nightmare of U.S. retirement savers because it directly lessens the buying power of money needed for retirement expenses. Savers looking to "hedge" against inflation may want to think about buying some gold-based investment.

Carrie and I have decided to go ahead with our plans for a Denton County Swap in May. We're zone 7 up here so our plants are a little latter waking up from their winter nap.
Most swaps are held on Saturday, but we're thinking we'll try for a Sunday afternoon instead. It might make the park less crowded and parking less of an issue. We'll let everyone know when and where as soon as the pavilion has been reserved. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just so I'll know whether to save any of these for the swap ............ I need to know if anyone who will be attending is interested in any of the following: Lady in Red salvia Please post here or send me an email...........thanks. |
We're Official now! You do not have to live in Denton County to participate. The name is really just about the location of the swap. Date: Sunday May 15, 2011 a web site for posting haves and wants where you can edit your postings as things progress is at the link below. Details about the Denton County Swap and plant swaps in general: There are a few tables and BBQ grill at the pavilion. Parking, rest rooms, and playground close by. I'll provide coffee service, small plates and napkins. If this is your very first plant swap or you are a new gardener, you don�t have to bring anything, but first time swappers who are already gardeners should bring stuff. The basics: Each person will want to know what they are getting. By they time they get home many have forgotten what the name of the plant is, so please label each item. A potted plant has roots. A cutting does not. A cutting stuck in a pot of dirt is not a potted plant. Please do not try to pass one off as such. When swappers receive plants they always put them under or behind their table. Sometimes swappers have done "pre-trades" on the internet with other gardeners and they are saving those plants to give to them. Pre Trades should be well marked and set aside but in the chaos of getting to the swap and setting up, some things just don�t get done. Always ask. There will be a designated table for free plants for the taking. These will be extra plants that swappers will bring to give away and no trade is expected. When marking your plants, you can use permanent ink on popsicle sticks, cut pieces of old blinds, plastic knives, forks or spoons and anything else you can be creative with! Printed labels are fine too. Garden Swap FAQ: Let the Swapping Begin!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Denton County Swap link
I knew there was something I left out! Door Prizes!! Yes, we like them. If you want to participate bring a garden related item (not a plant) with a tag on it that says your own name. Get it? :) :) :) |
Sounds good & it will be 2 weeks after the Ft Worth swap. Sundays are a little harder on me due to church but I will see if I can make it. |
Is anyone interested in a baby redbud? I have a yearling that finally got identified but he's in the wrong place...and I don't have room for another tree! |
Absolutely............. I may have lost mine in the front this past winter...........only half of it bloomed, and the other half looks dead. |
Carrie, it's yours! I'll send you an e-mail. |
- Posted by Gretchen z 7/8(email@example.com) onFri, Apr 15, 11 at 22:41
I am so excited that I stumbled on this group and it is close to home. I am in Carrollton. I will have oak tree sprouts -Thank the squirrels for that. Iris's will post the colors closer to the date. I have holly hock seeds harvested from last years crop, columbine seeds as well. |
Great, Gretchen, so looking forward to meeting you. |
Any interest in tomato seedlings? If I can keep them alive until swap. I started more seeds than I have room for. They are various small cherry type tomatoes. |
Here is the name of my leftover tomato seedlings. Some I several seedlings, and some only 1 each. Animals or worms cut the tops off most of my pepper plants, but so far have left the tomatoes alone. Some seeds were commercial and some from trades (just in case it turns out to not be what it's supposed to be). I will pot up by request only. Black Cherry (C) |
Sorry, J D 's special C - Tex is not a cherry type tomato. You can find various information if you google it. This is from Tatiana's tomatobase. 80 days, indet., regular leaf plants, average production of round, 8-12 oz purple-black fruits, outstanding flavor. Developed by a JD in Conroe, Texas, exact history is not known for certain, but it is thought to be a stabilized selection from a cross between Brandywine x an unknown black, based on info that was passed on when seeds were shared with a fellow tomato grower about 3 years ago. |
I wish I knew the name of that tomato plant, Ruth......it has been a lifesaver for me ......... just give it a little water and it will provide you with tomatoes until frost. |
I've been looking for some to produce during the summer months. The cherry/grape tomatoes are supposed to handle the heat better. I saved the seeds from a couple of tomatoes I brought home from your house in November. Germination was very good on them. I have several extra plants. |
They are "volunteering" in my garden,,,,,,,,,LOL> |
Sounds like I need one of those tomato plants. :) |
Or two...........or three........ |
WOW, this place seems to be THE place! Thanks Carrie for filling me in. Altho I will be out of town on the 15th, I hope to get some things to Carrie (just what she needs... another load of plants) I promise that it won't be a big load. Some of what I would consider. Rooted cutting of Buck's Quietness rose small pregnant onions young scheflera (small leaf) plants possible Irsene (BEAUTIFUL red) OK, I said Not a Big load. Things that I would consider trading for: Old HARDY, fragrant roses (1800's or early 1900) Named reblooming daylillies ( might should wait until Fall after they have bloomed) Hosta things HARDY and shade loving. Weldon |
Anyone wanting to trade with Weldon, please post here and I will take his plants to the swap, and bring back what you trade. I will get them to him at a later date. |
I'm hoping to make it,though I don't have much to trade (the winter wiped out a lot of my perennials) I do have: Carolyn |
We're 2 weeks out!!! Posted my list of 'haves' in the thread titled: Denton County Spring Plant Swap 2011 |
Here is a link that might be useful: DFW Plant Exchange
This is a great forum, but if you have difficulty navigating it, please feel free to post here.......... I check here daily, and I am certain others do as well. |
The Ft Worth swap was a blast. We got to meet a few new people & of course always good to see old friends. We seem to have lots of plants left over - even with twisting peoples arms to take more at the ft wth swap. My next door neighbor, Donna & myself plan on attending & hopefully distribute these fine babies & adopt some new plants for the garden. It's been at least a year or 2 since we visited with ya'll out in Denton. Looking forward to Sunday the 15th ;o) |
Melvalena -I'd love a papyrus division. |
You got it Equinecpa! |
I also have prickly pear pods and a large yucca plant if anyone might want. |

Hollyhock starters Hollyhock seeds Shasta Daisy starters Oak tree starters Some others starters that need to be verified so off to Calloways on Monday. |
Okay, fellow gardeners, after surveying my position with plants, I would like to know if anyone would like to come back by my house (I live a short distance from the swap) and pick up tall red cannas (they are excellent for hummers) or wood ferns? I will not be able to bring these to the swap as they are too heavy to load and unload and carry the distance to the swap. Or, if you live near by and would like to pick these up in advance....email me please. |
My apologies to all, Carrie in particular, I will not get my plants to Carrie for the swap. I am swamped!, Tired and plumb worn out. Have fun, enjoy and hope to see you in the fall. Weldon |
Weldon, so sorry you can't make it. See ya next Fall. |
Weldon, if you see anything posted in trader's lists that you want, let me know and I will try to trade for you. So sorry we won't get to see you, and try not to work TOO hard (easy for me to say) !!!! |
Some things I'll be bringing, Ajuga I'm potting up 1 to 3 various winter sown small seedlings planted in January. *note - Center of Calm is a mutation of Turn of the Century hibiscus named by GW trader Audrey. |
Updated list Black Cherry (C) - OUT |
Ruth, I would like to request a castor bean, a Center of Calm and Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate. I have nothing unusual to offer this year, but how would you like a Phygelius (red) that grows well in part shade? |
Lady in Red salvia Blue Mist flower -- 2 small Turk's Cap -- 1 small Mexican hydranges...1 Henry Duelberg salvia ---1 small Creeping Jenny Large leaf sedum (blooms yellow_ Flame Acanthus Datmansia ---- 1 but have lots of seed for these |
I just removed my prickly pear cactus -I have pads of that available if anyone want some. It's the kind with thorns and yellow bloom. Very hardy. I can also bring fresh cuttings of black/blue salvia (sorry I haven't rooted any but can cut that morning) Carrie-I'd be interested in sedum..I was just about to post that I'm looking for some. I'm looking for small succulents to fill a cute pot I have. Does anyone have any creeping rosemary? I've only seen large expensive pots at the nurseries I've been to this Spring..just looking for a couple of small specimens for a pot. |
Okay, will add the sedum to your list. My creeping rosemary froze this past winter.......guess it's roots just couldn't take all that freezing weather. |
I'll put your name on those Carrie. Let me know if I have anything else you'd like. Your bringing Crinum for me. |
Yes, I am ..........is that all you want??? Need another willow swithch for rooting??? |
Carrie, I'm sure there will be stuff at the swap that I'll think I can't live without. I would really like a Meyer Lemon cutting if anyone has one. |
I thought of something else I have if anyone is interested.... Rudbeckia herbstsonne. These are NOT potted so will not be bringing except by request. |
Hey everyone! Its almost time! Don't forget your door prize item. Put it in a gift bag with a gift tag that has YOUR name on it. If it won't fit in a bag, then just put the tag on the item. I'll bring hot coffee service, and a cooler with iced down bottled water. here's my list: rooted brugmansia cuttings, not potted: The following are in pots: small potted yarrow white (6) Verbena bonariensis sprouts (11) salvia greggii sprouts (4) Umbrella Papyrus divisions from mother plant (5) Curry Tree: Murraya koenigii (1) Plants from Carrie's garden: |
Carrie, is this the Rudebeckia with the large leathery leaves that you brought to the fall swap? I got two from you and I couldn't remember the name. Thanks, Susan |

I am looking for a Mexican Buck Eye Tree 2 - 4 tomato plants (small cherry or grape size) 1 -2 Okra plants Any questions please call me. I don't think I will be on the computer this weekend. 469-223-0982 Gretchen's cell 1 or 2 okra plants |
Anyone have any lambs ear they can part with? |
Gretchen, I can bring you some tomato plants that are volunteers for me. It is a large "cherry" that produces all summer until frost. Susan, I think I brought some of these to the last swap. I grow them mostly for their foliage.......makes an excellent border plant. |
In checking, I have decided that my volunteer basil is not going to come back this year..........I put the greenhouse over it, and it is sulking. If anyone has any extra they would like to share, I would appreciate it. |
Carrie, I looked up Phygelius (red) and I would like one if you have enough, if I can trade you something other than seedlings for it. I have a White Variegated Duranta or a small Acanthus spinosa. I also still have several Bridal Bouquet Asarina. Or let know what I have that you'd like. I don't remember if you got one of the asarina vines in the fall, but I tried overwintering one inground and it did survive. |
Oh, that is so good to know about the asarina, Ruth.....I did get one in the fall, but overwintered it in the greenhouse......now I know I can put it outside if yours survived last winter. Wonder how well it would do in part shade???? The phygelius is potted, but not very large, Ruth and I will be happy for you to have it. I will put it with your crinums. See you tomorrow.............. |
I drove around yesterday and this morning passing out fliers about our swap to homes that looked like someone gardened. One lady has emailed me back her list of plants she can bring. So there's a good possibility there will be more people there who aren't posting here. |
melvalena, my 10 year old grandson Mason is coming with us. He'll help anyone who needs him to. |
That's great, Ruth..............I will probably need help. Thanks !!!!!!!! |
Wonderful Ruth!!! See y'all there soon. |
Thanks to everyone who made this such a great swap, and my especial thanks to Gail who worked so diligently to make it fun for all of us..........see you in the Fall. |
I hope everyone is happy with what they went home with. (or with out. If anyone has questions about something they took home, just post and we'll try to answer them. Thanks to everyone who made it out and spent such a wonderful afternoon with us. |

It's so appreciated that ya'll put the swap together! Had a great time yesterday meeting so many nice fellow garden addicts! Came home with a trunk full and still having a blast finding new homes for all of my new plant babies! :) |
What a great swap, it was good seeing old friends & meeting new friends. We were hoping to off load (hehe) more stuff & we ended up coming home with the same amount after getting our wonderful new plants. Thank You to all that swaped with us - now to free cycle the rest. Hope to see you in the fall. Gail & Carrie you did a fabulous job!! Debbie |
OH my gosh!! Some one took pictures!!! I had my camera and planned to do it, but just forgot. Thank you Ruth for taking the photos! I'm so delighted with what I went home with. I've been out in the yard off and on trying to get them in the perfect spots while grand baby naps. Its slow, but gives me time to think and plan. :) |
Thanks, Ruth and Dan...........great shots. I went home with much more than I intended to, but no surprise there. |
Great Pictures. Thanks for posting them |
