Hi, this is my first time posting to the forums, but I have been reading them for quite awhile, hoping to find answers to some of my questions. My husband and I are planning to build a home in a year or two, and we're starting to think finding a plan is impossible. Where we live, there are very few architects, the closest one being 4.5 hours away, and even then he mostly does commercial building, not house plans. I've searched the millions of house plan sites online, and draw several plans on paper at home. But I just can't seem to get the rooms I want to fit in the space right. So I would really appreciate any help I can get. The plans I've seen from Summerfield are all a 100x better than anything on the web, so like I said, any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance for how long this post is, but I wanted to give you as much detail as possible!
I know exactly what I want, but I just can't put it together. For now, it is just me(24yrs), my husband(28yrs), my son(6 months), and our small dog. But I would like to have one more child in the future. My husband's father owns a large construction company, and my husband works for him as a carpenter. So he will be building the home himself for the most part. We live in a small town(approx. 7000 ppl) in Ontario and it isn't near any large cities. We entertain family and friends every once and awhile, but the only large groups are usually at xmas. Now for the house, here are all of the things that I desperately hope to fit into my home. Also, put a link to a plan that I somewhat like at the bottom. The issue is I don't want the kitchen behind the garage, instead I want the bedrooms there. And of course, the many other things in the list below. Thanks. Oh, and we would like the mainfloor to be 2250 heated sqft or less.
Master Bathroom:
Second Bathroom:
Great room:
Front Entry:
Again, sorry for the super long post, and thanks so much for any feedback. Link to the "somewhat liked" floorplan:

I am assuming that the lot is 90' wide and 200 deep. Is this correct? That info might help SField. You only need 2 bedrooms including master on the first floor? |

It's really best to post those rough drawings you mentioned so we can visualize what you want in a layout. As you're looking at plans, remember that you can move rooms around. Think of the layouts you see online as just a perimeter for you to create the interior. Here's a few plans for you to look at that have many of your specs and how to post pictures directly in the thread ... http://www.besthouseplans.info/2010/09/granville-house-plan.html http://www.homes4today.com/house-plans/5188.htm http://webfloorplans.com/plan-2020/ http://www.schomesnc.com/southerndiamond.html http://webfloorplans.com/house-plan-2608/ How to Post Photos: Setup: Now your pics are ready for posting on sites like GW! Posting pics in a GW message: Your pics will appear in the preview so you can ensure they appear properly before the final submission. Hope this helps! |
Yes, the lot is 90' wide by 200' deep and we only need 2 bedrooms plus a den/office on the first floor. Thanks for those plans mydreamhome, I haven't gotten a chance to look at them all yet. And I'll try to get my rough drawings up later today. |
Bevangel...what is the floor planner program you use? I am looking for something and like the way that looks. |
I thought about some changes to move the second bedroom and try to reduce the square footage. I'm not sure if this works, but I came up with this. My closet isn't quite as big as I'd hoped, and of course I would lose access to the laundry room from the master closet, but this was all I could think of for now. Any other ideas would be great, thanks! |
Hey, anyone have any new ideas or suggestions for the changes I made, or any other changes that should be made? Thanks, just trying to bump this back onto the first page. |
Bevangel, thanks so much! Yea, 2267 is much closer to what we want for square footage. I really like the window in the master bath and of course the extra closet space. We will eventually have 3 bedrooms and a bathroom in the walk-out basement, so that's probably where our son's bedroom will be when he is a bit older. So the sound privacy isn't such an issue, but definitely nice to have anyway. I also love the wide hallways and 4' is perfect. About the linen closet, the small one is fine. I had just put that as the linen because it was already there, I don't need it to be that big. I really love the access to outside. I could always get the rooms to fit behind the garage, but access to outside was difficult. I love dogs and plan to always have them, so I like to put pet friendly things like that into the plan. I don't think I would make any other changes, but my husband has a couple things. He's usually the one to do the dishes and watches tv when he does it. So he wants to be able to do that in the new home. He also wants to change the entryway, but I actually disagree about that and like it how it is, especially since he doesn't know what he doesn't like about it, lol. I had a quick question about flooring also. We want to do tile in the kitchen, halls, entryways, and probably the dining room too. I know a lot of people like hardwood in the kitchen, but it's just a personal preference and I would worry too much about scratches and water damage. So do you think it would look alright to just do hardwood in the great room and office, and tile in the other areas? Again, thanks! |

It almost goes without saying, we are in challenging times and it makes sense to take every opportunity at your disposal to use your computer to best advantage.
If you are in the bracket of not yet being up to speed with knowing your way around your pc, with using Windows or getting onto the Internet then you are missing out on a whole world of advice, information, keeping up with your interests, paying bills, work opportunities, and indeed contacts.
Equally important, you could be missing out on the opportunity to buy (or sell) goods and services often at much lower prices than you might pay on the high street.

I'm getting married in September, and am brewing for my wedding (100 people or so). I think have narrowed the beer list down: 1. Belgian Dubbel (10 gallons) - A maltier stronger beer with mass-appeal. 2. Edwort's Apfelwein (10 gallons) - Seasonal offering with a lot of kick! 3. 10 gallons of one of the following: Option 1: Kolsch Option 2: Fat Tire Clone (Belgian Amber) Option 3: Centennial Blonde Partial Grain (http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/cent...1/index55.html) The idea with the third option is to have a lighter beer that still has appeal for the connoisseurs. Any other thoughts welcome! Cheers,
I like option three. Unless you know that your guests really do enjoy craft/homebrew beer that option allows for a broader selection. If you are attempting to introduce ppl to good beer color may be an issue. Also, bigger beers are not necessarily, "session" beers. What do you want your guests to do? Dance and be active all evening? Also, the bigger the beer, the less one can safely drink and drive. Just sayin.
"Good people drink good beer." -HST
I would like a darker option. I brewed for my sister's wedding and the stout was gone right quick. I think most people enjoy a proper chocolate milk stout...that's just my opinion though...
I brewed Ed Wort's Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale for my friends wedding and it went over really good.. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks everyone. However, the idea is that I'm going to brew the dubbel, apfelwein, AND something from #3. 10 gallons each
I was just about to say that 10 gallons would only last about 15 minutes at the weddings that I've been to with 100 people. I'd say fat tire clone/ some other amber ale. Great tasting brew that lots of people who may not love home/craft brews will enjoy.
Got married last May. Brewed up 10 gallons of Kolsch (2 batches) and it was a hit! It's light enough for "normals" to really enjoy and "exotic" enough for people interested in beers to get into. Keep in mind not all of your guests will be 21+ though. It might reduce the amount of beers you have to make.

Extra money and item duplicationThis trick only works with more than one character in your party. Go to a shop and choose an item to sell. Click on it as if you were going to sell it, then change characters to someone else in your party while you still have the item ready to sell. Click on the character inventory to give them the item. After that, click the item again and sell it to the shopkeeper. Stop talking to the shopkeeper and check your inventory. The person that originally owned the item still has it, and if you check the shop you sold the item to, they will also have it. Note: Do not return to the character's inventory that originally held the item while still in the shop; this will crash the game. |

Sweetcicely, I agree they look pretty close! Thanks! You should have heard my girls when they came over, they thought it was really cool looking flower. I hope it will stay in bloom for awhile I'm not sure how often they bloom and when you get one that in already fully opened you never know how long it's been that way so here's hoping. Terry |

Your girls are quite right ~ it IS cool! My only Paph is also a maudiae type, and if it is a reliable example, you may expect yours to stay in bloom for about a month, total. I have found that they like to be just a little more moist than my Phals and to have no direct light. Below is a wonderful site for information on all things having to do with "Slipper" orchids.

Coffee Prince Round 3: REDEMPTION!
Here's the backstory for people that are new viewers: a while ago we tried going to the Coffee Prince Coffee Shop in Hongdae, but the management there weren't cooperative. So then we tried going to the Coffee Prince House, but we got lost in the woods and almost dieded. We surrendered. We knew that making a video about Coffee Prince just wasn't meant to be.
Then something cool happened. Really cool. You know that we helped out with the YouTube Music Awards recently, right? Well, it was sponsored by Kia, and we were speaking with Kia for a while now about working on something together. As you might notice, most of our WANKs and FAPFAPs are in Seoul, but we barely go outside of that. It's hella difficult and expensive to bring around our equipment everywhere. We tried it once for our Eatyourkimchi Road Trip, and it seemed like you liked it, so we want to do more stuff like that where we can travel around and shoot more videos. But, without a car, that's kinda difficult. Kia stepped up to the plate and said they wanted to work with us. That's awesome!
The first thing we knew we'd do with the car: drive to the Coffee Prince House ourselves. BOOYA! And it worked! We got there, minus a few snags along the way, because it's located in such a complicated area, but we got there! Huzzah!
Here's the thing, though: this video with Kia was just a test run. They have to see that it worked out well, and if people like the video. So, this is where we're hoping you can come in: If you like this video, and want to see us driving to places more, let Kia know. Head over to our video on YouTube and give it a like. We just tweeted this link out. Retweet it! Here it is below:
We teamed up with @Kia_Motors to finally beat the Coffee Prince Curse. FINALLY! http://t.co/vxx7WV3E5D
— Simon and Martina (@eatyourkimchi) November 14, 2013
Or just send @Kia_Motors a tweet letting them know that you liked the video! Hopefully Kia will be impressed, and we can follow through with our plan to make more travel videos. Next stop: G-Dragon's pension? What do you guise think? Hopefully all goes well and we can keep on making videos outside of Seoul.
Anyhow, we got loads of extra footage that didn't make the final cut, including an old man sitting and smoking on a scooter/wagon combo. Totally badass:
Filed Under:
That's one crazy beautiful place. Never seen the drama, but damn, dat view! Good to see that the trilogy is finally done. (HITW is still one of the best videos you both have done imo)
*Photography Nerd Alert* I also noticed that Sony RX-100 II camera you guys got there. I have the original model so I'm wondering what are your opinions on it. As always, keep up the good work. -
If you get a car you should have a segment about the crazy things you'll see on the roads, especially outside of Seoul. In this picture, taken down the road from our apartment in Dongducheon, there's a scooter towing a cart riding down the road like it's nothing. Probably going to harvest his crops.
SIMON! MARTINA! Can you do a Nightlife in Hongdae part 2!? PUHLEASE~ ^~^
if you really go to gd's pension vita dolce, I'll be skdajdlkhjdKLGSLFGAUK
Wow, the hipsters in the woods was a year ago.. damn time flies. Glad you guys broke the curse though! XD
I climbed that mountain in the background back in late April. I actually saw the coffee shop from the mountain too on my way down. Wasn't able to go since I didn't know how to get there though :(. Totally thought of the hipsters in the woods video when I was climbing the mountain though haha.
You guys remind me of someone. Whenever they drive the car they always get lost even with GPS. But I loved the what you did at the bottom of the screen with the start to destination line.
When I saw the title I started to laugh straight away since I realised that you guys finally broke the curse. Hipsters lost in the woods was probably the best one out of the 3 of them, with the whole getting lost in the woods one.
Looking foreword till the next W.A.N.K. -
I've been sick for 3 days without my usual EYK dose, and now I am better after this. You two are SO funny.
My all time favorite video of yours is Hipsters lost in the Woods because I can relate to it when my friends and I got lost in the woods trying to find a duck pond that didn't exist.
Also, love that the car is yellow :)
Haha omg, i remember the bad accident. Mystery has finally been solve :)
One day, I'll go there to see it.
By the way, our whole family aside from my brother drives KIAs. My mom and I have one black and one light blue Spectra, my grandma has a black Optima, and my dad has a bright ass blue Forte. Like electric blue and I SO WANT IT but I have mine, sooooo….
Oh dear, that was a year ago?
I'm so proud of you guys! :D
You guise are such a lovey dovey couple. i lurve u guise~~!! <3
Haven't watched yet, but there is so much yes in that post! DEW EET KIA! You know, I kinda actually really like KIA. I have been saying for ages when I am getting enough hours and have some steady savings going I want to take a look at their cars. I really liked what I heard and read about the KIA Soul, and it seems the new one is going to be even better. Them helping out a pair of my favorite people makes me like them even more :). OOOH WATCHING NOW. That car is beautiful. I hope you dish on how it drives, and if you didn't, :D can you dish on how it drives?
For all those that are having trouble finding this place on a map, here's a Google maps link (can open on phone to for nav)
haha!! We always have these crazy misadventures trying to find places in Korea!!!! I am sad to say that it takes me about 2 or 3 times to find something. Exasperating, but fun!!! We have had many, many epic fails as well. Glad to know we are not alone :)
. -
Have you guys seen the Big Bang version of Coffee Prince?! I've seen it and it's so funny!!! Martina and Simon you guys should go watch it!
Guys..why do you have a pet carrier in the car with you? Just curious.
OHMERGAWD!!!!! I was going to ask you guys about GD's Pension. Freaking GREAT!!! The best part is that place is not to pricey So I plan on staying there at least once in my life ^_^
YES!!! you guys finally found the coffee shop! I am so happy right now I thought it would never happen. :D
YES!!! you guys finally found the coffee shop! I an so happy right now I thought it would never happen. :D

Pete and Jen's Backyard Birds
Sign up early--they run out
By: Ellen Freeman Roth (Sep 14, 2008)
This was my first year using Pete and Jen's, and I wish I'd signed up for more chickens because they were delicious. Their chickens are excellent--we just picked up and ate a very flavorful, meaty bird, and were happy to know that Pete and Jen treat the animals well. But sign up for your birds early (I think sign-up is in February)--they have a limited number available for the season.

How to Avoid The Fourteen Dating Traps
By David Steele
Strategy: When you are ready for a Life Partnership, define your Requirements and use them to scout, sort, screen and test potential partners. Do not try to convert a recreational relationship into a committed one, unless 100% of your Requirements are met.
5. Fairytale Trap
Passively expecting your ideal partner to magically appear and live happily ever after without effort on your part. Believing that finding your soul mate will just "happen." This results in disappointment when the frogs that happen to jump into your life don't become princes.
Strategy: Take personal responsibility for your relationship choices and outcomes. Have effective scouting, sorting, and screening strategies. Initiate contact and be the "Chooser," don't simply react to people that choose you.
6. Date -To - Mate Trap
Becoming an 'instant couple' as if giving each person you date an extended test drive. Believing that if you develop an exclusive relationship with someone you are dating, a successful committed relationship will eventually happen. Other terms for this are 'Serial Monogamy" and the 'Mini- Marriage'. This approach is a costly use of time and emotional energy. The inertia in this trap is pressure to make the relationship work, attempt to resolve unsolvable problems, and fit a square peg in a round hole because breaking up and being single again is an undesired outcome.
Strategy: Date a variety of people and have fun without being exclusive. When you are ready for a committed relationship define your Requirements and use them as tools to scout, sort, and screen potential partners. Make a careful relationship choice and consciously use a "pre-commitment" period to determine if this is the right relationship for you.
7. Attraction Trap
Making relationship choices based on feelings of attraction. Interpreting a strong physical attraction to someone as a sign that the relationship is a good choice and 'meant to be'.
This approach results in relationship failure when unsolvable problems surface because you ignored the red flags while infatuated. Unconscious choices usually result in repeating unproductive past patterns. Attraction is like the radar that helps you find your target. But the Attraction Trap occurs when you blindly follow this radar.
Strategy: Balance your attractions by defining your Requirements and use them to scout, sort, and screen potential partners.
"Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come ninety percent of your happiness or misery."
--H. Jackson Brown, Jr. from "Life's Little Instruction Book"
8. Love Trap
Interpreting infatuation, attraction, need, good sex, and/or attachment as love. "If it feels good, it must be love," "Love conquers all," "All you need is love." You feel so in love that you believe it must be a good relationship. After the initial infatuation is gone, you spend the rest of your time together just trying to get it back.

Welcome to the forums!
"One of the best distros around" is really very subjective. I've tried PCLinuxOS so many times that I've lost count and have never liked it at all. Just because it's rising on the DistroWatch.com chart doesn't mean anything either, other than lots of people are clicking on it. That listing is pretty much useless when it comes to best.
Core Wizard, the board administrator, decides what distro forums will occupy the board, so apparently he's decided that a PCLinuxOS forum is not needed at the moment. I agree with that decision since we don't get all that many threads about the distro.
I am aware that lots of PCLinuxOS users are making a concerted effort to increase the popularity of the distro, but even that doesn't make it the best.
That said, I'll lock this thread because it appears to be just another advertisement for the distro more than anything else. If you should have any other questions, don't hesitate to post them.

Transfer MXF files were shot by Canon XF300/Pansonic HPX370/Sony XDCAM to MOV editing with Mac

Summary: This article shows you an easy way to convert recorded MXF files to MOV for editing or playing on Mac(FCP/FCE/Premiere Pro/Avid MC/iMovie)with ease.

Have captured the scenic beauties while on a tour with sophisticated camcorders like Canon XF100, Canon XF300, Canon XF305, Panasonic AG-AC130EJ, AJ-HPX370 or Sony XDCAM and then import the footages to Mac comiMovie, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, FCE for perfect editing or playing? You know, the files in these camcorders are saved in the MXF extensions which is not supported by most Mac-compatible editing softwares or players. To play MXF files on Quicktime or import MXF files to iMovie/FCP/FCE/Avid/Premiere for editing smoothly, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to MOV on Mac. It's easily to get the work done along with some help from a professional MXF to MOV Converter for Mac. Keep reading for a brief how-to process.

First of all, free download Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac

The program is a professional yet decent Mac MXF to MOV Converter which can help you transcode mxf to mov with several simple steps. Just do some clicks on your mouse with your finger, you can easily convert mxf files to mov on Mac and then preview HD mxf video with QuickTime or import mxf video into FCP/iMovie/Avid/Premiere for editing on Mac. Besides, Brorsoft MXF Converter supports professional encoders like Apple Intermediate Codec, ProRes and DNxHD—ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer. The Mac MXF Converter must be your best choice when you need a Panasonic P2 mxf Converter or a Canon mxf Converter or a Sony XDCAM MXF Converter, you can do action with mxf files at anytime anywhere now!

How to Convert MXF to MOV on Mac

Step 1: Add mxf captured videos

Click "add video" button to import the P2 mxf or Canon mxf files to the top MXF to MOV Converter for Mac. Click "add from folder" button to add MXF folder.

Step 2: Select output format and output path

Click format to choose HD Video > H.264 HD Video (*mov) profile in the drop-down menu. If you want to edit MXF file in FCP, suggest you choose Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422(*mov). And for editing in iMovie/FCE, you can choose iMovie and Final Cut Express > Apple InterMediate Codec(AIC)(*mov).

P.S. Besides transcoding MXF to ProRes MOV, converting MXF to AIC, Brorsoft MXF Converter for mac also support converting MXF file to various video formats like AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV and converting MXF to various devices like iPad, iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Apple TV 3, etc.

as to convert MXF video file to mov formats,, some freeware also supports to convert mxf video to MOV and all other popular formats, such as Handbrake, I have tested converting a short .mxf file to a .mov file using HandBreak. It works well on quicktime and iMovie. Handbrake also supports to convert video of nearly all the formats. I think it may be your best selection for video converting. and some rechargeable software such as iVideotool Video Converter( http://www.abettersoft.com/mxf-converter-for-mac.html ) may much better for converting and compress videos, here is the detailed guide: http://www.abettersoft.com/how-to/convert-mxf-to-quicktime-mov.html

American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Vol. 28, page(s): 194-201
Past research has identified social and environmental causes and correlates of behaviors thought to be associated with obesity and weight gain among children and adolescents. Much less research has documented the efficacy of interventions designed to manipulate those presumed causes and correlates. These latter efforts have been inhibited by the predominant biomedical and social science problem-oriented research paradigm, emphasizing reductionist approaches to understanding etiologic mechanisms of diseases and risk factors.

Once you visit Africa you know you have to go back there again.

Welcome to the start of my adventure in Senegal. -

Hello All! I have been away from GW for many years. In the meantime, I have moved into the field professionally. I am looking for any info on mail order companies that sell annual plants as plugs. Easy to find for perennials. Any help is so appreciated! Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Park Seed Company, Harris Seed Company....depends on the size of the plugs and quantities you are looking for. |
- Posted by Prairie_Sima 4a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 14 at 21:16
Best options varies from region to region. I am from midwest, so I get my plugs in small quantities from Fariblaut Growers, MN (minimum 25 plugs per variety; orders minimum $300) + Shipping/Handling. Pot stick tags included. If I could afford shopping for large quantities I would go with Ball Horticulture. You need to request them for catalogs and order forms and they will mail it to you. Their online website and catalogs are quite complicated to keep track off. Easier just to ask for paper copies. They have great variety and greenhouses all over the country. For most plugs minimum of one kind is 100 and order minimum (I might be wrong) $1500 + Shipping/Handling + Brokerage fee + Pots stick tags for extra fee. |

For more than sixty years the world has found hope in Caux. Lives have been changed, intractable conflicts resolved, and new visions born. This year individuals and teams from the US participated in summer conferences under the theme, Trust and Integrity for a Sustainable World.
It was a timely theme given the global financial meltdown, concern over widening economic disparities, climate change and the spread of extremist violence. Rajmohan Gandhi, the President of Initiatives of Change International, said the Caux conference reminds us that: "We are all the same underneath; that no nation or race in the world is superior nor inferior; that we must never allow ourselves to blame a people, any people, for the problems we face; that the world's weak, vulnerable, kicked around and abused people have to be our first concern; that our rivers, and snow-caps are appealing to us; and that citizens united across boundaries can make a difference."
The special magic of the Caux community was in evidence throughout the summer. The ambassador of Madagascar brought six colleagues, including a former general, to seek hope for their country which had experienced a coup a few moths earlier. Expressing his "deep gratitude" the ambassador said, "For the first time in twenty years I am speaking without a text; I am speaking from the heart." A group of Pakistanis and Indians,including a former foreign secretary and cabinet minister, met for informal dialogues where "deep rooted prejudices were challenged."
Sixty-five young Muslims from five European countries trained to become peacemakers. Business executives, entrepreneurs, farmers, health and media professionals and students explored issues of trust, integrity and sustainability in the global economy. Young Americans served as interns in all the conferences.
The second Caux Forum for Human Security, the Caux Scholars Program, the Caux Intern Program, and the fourth Tools for Change conference were all strongly supported by IofC USA.

Most Orders Ship Next Day
Hurry Don't Miss Out, Sale Ends tonight At Midnight!
Get A Head Start
The heights we list are the actual size of your tree. Many Nurseries advertise heights before they prune, then cut off several feet before shipping. While this reduces their shipping cost, it gives their customer a shorter tree than they bargained for. The tree will likely need an extra year to grow back the growth that was trimmed. We do not prune evergreen trees for any reason. Evergreen trees typically hold their shape for the life of the tree and do not require any pruning or shearing. Plus, we don't include the pot or root length in our measurements. This gives you an extra 1-2 ft. in tree size. Our larger trees are usually one to two years older than our smaller ones and will typically give you better, thicker privacy the first full growing season.
Get your new plants off to the right start by using DIEHARD™ Transplant. This soil amendment contains 16 strains of mycorrhizal fungi, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria and Horta-Sorb® water management gel.
Simply sprinkle the product into the planting hole adjacent to the root ball when planting.
The organisms will start to work right away supplying the roots with much need nutrition.
The specially formulated Horta-Sorb® will reduce transplant stress and aid in water retention.
APPLICATION: 1 oz. Per Gallon Size Container 1 oz. Per Ft. High Bare Root Plant
This Juniper retains its color year round, giving you an attractive plant in the dull winter months.
Wichita Blue Juniper is an excellent specimen plant. It retains its color throughout the year, no matter where you live in the country. The dusty-blue color is a standout and makes a great addition to your landscape.
This large, pyramidal formed juniper is a great plant for windbreaks, screens, and privacy hedges, or it can make a great accent plant anywhere in your garden.
Virtually maintenance-free, this juniper never requires pruning or staking up.
A strong vigorous grower, Wichita Blue Junipers will grow 12"-18" per year. It reaches a mature height of 15 feet within its first 10 years.
At Fast Growing Trees we recommend you place your juniper in an area that is well drained and receives full sun. Add some organic matter to your hole when planting, such as peat moss. When planted correctly, the Wichita Blue Juniper will delight you with brilliant color for many years to come.
Place your Juniper Wichita Blue in an area that receives at least six hours of sunlight a day. Juniper Wichita Blues can tolerate shade, but will prefer to be in full sunlight. Places your Juniper Wichita Blues about three feet apart to create a privacy screen, their foliage will quickly will in. Juniper Wichita Blues will adapt to your natural soil as long as it's well draining but prefer sandy or loamy soils. Mix a sandy or fine potting mix in with your natural soil prior to planting your tree to give it sandier soil. After your Juniper Wichita Blue has been planted for a year give it a well balanced fertilizer at the beginning of every Spring. Rain water should be enough for your Juniper Wichita Blue, they're very drought tolerant. Don't over water your tree! Try to Mimic your natural environment and only give your tree extra water during times of drought.
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Juniper 'Wichita Blue'. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your Juniper 'Wichita Blue' gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Juniper 'Wichita Blue' again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
Due to cold weather in some parts of the country, we have suspended shipping to the areas that are shaded on the map below. Please view the diagram to determine if your area has been affected. This includes anyone in Growing Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. If you are unsure of your growing zone, visit our Growing Zone Finder. We will resume normal shipping in the Spring. Please see the table below for your approximate ship date. If you live in a shaded area but wish to receive your product(s) now, please visit our contact us page here or call a customer service rep toll free at 888-504-2001.

Kristen Agee is heading to college and, no, it's not to play tennis or lacrosse, the two sports the senior's excelled at during her four years at Bluffton High School.
Agee has accepted a scholarship to become a member of the Tiger's women's rowing team. Snubbing the other two sports should come as no surprise. After all, Agee's sister Jenn is a sophomore on Clemson's rowing squad (2nd Varsity-8 boat).

I've got family coming into town in late May. They're looking for a place to rent from June 1 through mid-July. It can be either in Bluffton or Hilton Head. We're not looking for a hotel, though. We're hoping for something ranging from an extended stay to a rental condo (pet friendly).
Any thoughts?

The Southern Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services (aka Bluffton PALS) in conjunction with Bluffton/Hilton Head Lacrosse is offering boys and girls lacrosse this spring, but you have to act fast.
The sport will be open to boys and girls ages 7-10 (must be 7 by Dec. 31, 2008).
The deadline for registration is Wednesday and costs $50 per player. You can register at the Bluffton Recreation Center on Ulmer Road or online at www.bcgov.net (make sure you click on Southern Beaufort County).

Nic Tones inked his letter-of-intent Wednesday to run cross country and attend USCB next fall. If you ask the Bluffton High School senior, however, the latter comes first.

The Bluffton High School wrestling team came up short in its efforts to win the school's first boys' individual state title Saturday at Airport High School.
Ryan Koons (134-pounds) and Tyler Rosenlieb (160) finished as state-runner ups and Ricky Gonzales (171) finished third overall.
It's the most BHS wrestlers ever to place at the state level and the second time for Koons (third place last year).
Congratulations guys on an outstanding year.

When Taylor McCain first started his football career as a seventh grader, it appeared his days on the gridiron would be short lived.
Six years later, McCain's career is heading toward the collegiate ranks. The Bluffton High School senior signed his letter-of-intent Friday to play football for North Greenville University.
"I wanted to quit," McCain said Friday afternoon standing outside the school's main gym. "I hated getting hit."

Linux and other adventures into the unknown.
For a somewhat mediocre puter such as I this is most certainly into the unknown.
Last weekend we had the great pleasure of welcoming young BenT aka BentSailor on board the Womboat. May I say that he is a thoroughly personable young chap who brings along beer and lively conversation. He's welcome to come back anytime. Sorry about the coffee B.
Anywho .... the subject of Linux came up along with a notebook I have that runs Windows Vista. I really did goof there. Could have bought the thing downgraded (some effing downgrade) with XP but I went Vista. What a load of garbage. Within six months it had started rejecting updates and stubbonly refuses to install any update going back 18 months or so.
Ergo I am about to either re format the thing and load Windows 7 or should I be thinking Linux ? Should I ?
I guess the big question for me would be what can't Linux do ? For example I know I can run Firefox and presumably Thunderbird on Linux but how about listening to music and watching movies ? Is it possible to run CMAP on Linux ?
Maybe any of you who have some Linux experience might like to giv me your thoughts.
Thanks in advance

Three months after East Valley police chiefs formed a nonprofit association focused on resource sharing, the group is still working on opening a central recruit-testing facility and developing a single helicopter unit.
"I think the biggest challenge for all of us is there's not much in the way of money," said Chandler Police Chief Sherry Kiyler, who heads up the East Valley Police Chiefs Association.
Kiyler and chiefs from Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Apache Junction, Arizona State University, Paradise Valley and two Indian communities have formed a working committee to look at the cost of creating a special air unit that would provide police helicopters throughout the East Valley.
Mesa and Phoenix police departments and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office are the only local agencies with helicopters, and they all share them free of charge.
"We're looking at the most efficient and economical way to do what we do," Kiyler said.
The group also hopes to save money by creating a privately contracted central testing facility for anyone wanting to become a police officer. Kiyler said the facility would save money for the departments since recruits commonly test at multiple agencies anyway.
Officials hope to open the facility by June, but only Scottsdale, Chandler and Mesa would use it. Tempe Police Chief Tom Ryff said he doesn't want to send recruits to a common place for testing.
"We think there's a lot to be said for the first day they come in to test to have a chance to look at them and talk with them and interact with employees," Ryff said. "If you went to a central testing location, you lose that interaction out front."
Ryff said he personally appears at each test to greet candidates.
Other ideas the association's chiefs are currently examining are privatized jails, streamlining the process of arresting people with warrants in other cities and creating consistent police codes.
The group has formed committees of police supervisors to look into each of these ideas —— the pros, cons and costs — to find out what would be best for everyone.
"Is there a better answer in the East Valley that could cut our time, cut resources and cost less than what we currently pay?" Kiyler asked.

How do I find MY STYLE?I've gotten that question a bunch of times. Here's some thoughts on it:As far as "Style" questions go, I dodge those like crazy. Honestly, I don't feel I have much of a style. I never have. I have an "adaptable" ability to draw like Disney, Nick, etc. Whatever I need to draw like for a given job. Within reason. Some cruder styles (like, say, a Mike Judge style) would be harder for me because its hard to break drawing rules you've been taught for so many years. Yes, I'd say some of my "Bancroft girls" have my style but its also kind of a Disney style. In my opinion there are two kinds of "style" artists: the ones that have a SUPER destinct style (like "Cheeks" or Jack Kirby) that have been drawing that way since the beginning and can't draw any other way, and the rest of us- whose style will evolve through the years based on work experiences and artistic influences. The latter won't have extremely strong styles but will be more adaptable to other styles. We tend to follow up
FAQ! Finally!Hello everybody!I've been getting an increase in notes and messages lately asking all kinds of things. Problem is, I'm far from having the time to answer all these questions individually (even if I did have it it would probably make more sense to spend it drawing), but I don't want to leave them unanswered either since I appreciate everyone's feedback a lot. So I decided to make a kind of FAQ, since I'm mostly being asked the same things over and over.I'll try to group these semantically so reading though them makes a bit of sense.Did you ever do any tutorials?- Yes, I spent a lot of time on this one:There's a lot of explaining in there, so please before you ask anything technique or learning related, read it thoroughly first.I also have a ton of step-by-steps in this folder here: http://algenpfleger.deviantart.com/gallery/8622578And I also uploaded a ton of layered Photoshop files: http://algenpfleger.deviantart.com/gallery/28996547Finally, I have lots
My Art School RantI mentioned I had a rant about art schools and many of you said you wanted to hear it. Well, its long so I hope you meant it. This will make some of you angry, but I hope not. I love art schools and I love their instructors even more! Many art instructors are friends of mine. This rant is about the art school teaching SYSTEM. Money drives that, just like any other business, so there will be mistakes made because of greed. So, without further ado.....My Art School RantI have a love-hate relationship with art schools. I love what they stand for- the pursuit of and love for creating great art! I still get excited walking into an art school. Seeing all the rows and rows of wonderful Macs, the energy (or lack thereof- we ARE talking about art students, after all), the artwork on the walls, the postings of upcoming events and guest speakers, the dirty floors, the whole
Disney layoffs, 2D animation, and youA very nervous animation student (he didn't say, but I assume he is studying 2D animation) asked me about my opinions on the state of animation these days. What are the companies thinking with laying off all the employees, not doing 2D animation, canceling great TV series, etc.? Are the business people just evil? AND the even bigger question: Is John Lassiter a jerk (or worse) for letting all the 2D animators at Disney go yesterday? MY ANSWER: I have a slightly controversial (for an artist) perspective on businesses and business people. Over all, I like them. At times, I have even been grateful for them. (Steady paychecks should never be taken for granted. Wait till you don't have one one day, then you'll know!) Remember, we live in a world where businesses are expected to make money to stay alive. It's called capitalism. Others call it "business". That means, the animation world isn't any different from any other job/company
Stop the perfectionismOn my Tumblr site someone asked me for some general advice for an aspiring comic creator. This is what was on my mind. Thought I'd share it here on Deviantart as well.Right now all I can think of is something I've been thinking about lately. And that is the depression some of us artists get about our art. Like our expectations aren't just "My drawings need to be good!", they are "My art needs to be PERFECT."So I would suggest always try to improve, gain confidence, but expect good/average output. Don't expect perfect art, ever. By doing this only causes you to be frustrated, which in turn causes mistakes, which pisses you off more, then you're stuck in a lame spiraling circle downward to the pathetic whiny artist. Which in turn kills your deadline. Giving yourself freedom from perfection makes drawing much easier and better art is produced and on time.I'm currently working on this piece where it started out difficult, I had high expectations for it, I was in a bad mood, nothing was
Skyrim - First ImpressionsPicked up a cheapo copy of Skyrim today. First impressions: this game is so inside the box, it's inside a smaller box.Tolkien was, undeniably, a genius, but, for the love of creativity and dynamism; read another f**king book, people.There's a world of culture, history and myth out there to seek inspiration from! Fantasy should be an exciting, twisted reflection of the world around us, not an endless stream of pirated Lord of the Rings DVDs.
Bought my first Porno (I am now a MAN)Warning! If you are under the age of 18 I recommend you turn away from this page right now, in fact why not take the time to check out other great artists like Hehalana, Nabari, QueenAlana, Rishumisu, TheAmazingWrabbit or go have a sandwich? We cool? Good good, now its time to get naughty! This could be the most adult themed journal entry I have ever written. This is a story about my epic journey into the deepest evil lair of the adult kingdom, this is a tale of seduction and temptation, this is a story of my first ever purchase of adult videos!Let's begin the story with a little background info, I am currently in the mysterious land of Hong Kong. I am leaving back to good old Australia Sydney at the beginning of january 2012. I consider myself a stranger in Hong Kong, I can't read or write chinese but I can speak it fluently, in fact a little bit too fluent that when I try to explain to the police that I am not from around, they don't believe me (I will write about my police incident
I finally watched FROZEN!!!! YAY!!!And now I can finally use the Internet safely without fear of spoilers. I am so happy right now. I had to avoid the Internet for like a MONTH till the movie was released here. *siggghhhh* Life is good and normal again. As for the film itself, and I promise not to go into spoiler territory, I can at least say I wasn't disappointed. I mean, I knew going in that I wasn't going to find it half as enchanting as the hype train was saying it is, but I'm happy to report I don't hate it. I did not find it irksome. Which is amazing news for me after how irksome and sinister I found Tangled. *shivers*If I didn't hold back on my opinion here, and hold onto your seats because it's going to be an unpopular one (don't say I didn't warn your fragile feelings), I'd say Frozen is a benign movie for babies. And really, it made me wish I had a little niece I could take to see it and buy her the merchandise and watch her tiny eyes light up when Elsa builds her ice fortress. Bu
Ridiculous LawsuitsSince my last few journals were rather serious...time to have a little fun and since we are on the subject of law? why not look up the most redicolous lawsuits?I have had a wonder and found a few that I find very amusing or frustrating...WHEN LAWSUITS ATTACK!!!http://www.the-injury-lawyer-directory.com/ridiculous_lawsuits.htmlhttp://news.yahoo.com/10-most-ridiculous-lawsuits-2011-175104066.htmlhttp://www.jamesfuqua.com/lawyers/jokes/lawsuits.shtmlhttp://weirdlawsuits.com/category/dumb-lawsuits/http://www.dumb-lawsuits.com/page/2/http://www.newser.com/story/22074/when-dumb-lawsuits-attack.htmlhttp://www.facesoflawsuitabuse.org/stories/http://rawjustice.com/2010/07/20/15-of-the-most-ridiculous-lawsuits-ever-filed/And now for our favourite! Those folk from the RIAA and MPAA! I am now convinced the're not an organization...they are actually a circus.You don't have to worry about being sued for copyright infringement...because they will try sue you regardless .
Tip of the Day: Creative vs Competitive thinkersTip of the day: The creative thinker has more potential than competitive thinker. For every competitive thinking winner, there are many competitive losers. With creative thinkers there is room for many winners. Competitive thinking encourages secrets. Creative thinking encourages sharing.So don't aim to be competitive unless it's with yourself. Instead aim to be creative!Sending positive vibes to everyone!Bobby

Weisberg said that state health department officials have been enthusiastic about the Commission process and may recommend it as a state-wide model. She also noted that the recommendation for 140 additional beds was in line with the earlier recommendations of FLHSA's Acute Bed Need Taskforce.
Community Investment
FLHSA's 2020 Commission is also promoting collaboration between the three major hospital systems and the NYSDOH, Excellus, Preferred Care, FLHSA, the Monroe County Medical Society, and other community-based health organizations to work together to develop and maintain a sustainable multi-county health services delivery system and join forces on programs to address health disparities in the community.
Assessment and Results
The Commission's proposal projects that the health improvement initiatives can decrease unnecessary visits to emergency rooms by 15 percent, decrease hospital admissions that could be managed through outpatient visits by 25 percent, and decrease by 20 percent low-acuity admissions by out-of-county residents in Monroe County Hospitals that could be served in outlying community hospitals.
According to Marc Voyvodich, chairman and CEO of Stroudwater Associates, the national health care consulting firm employed by the Commission, these initiatives are attainable. "These requirements are not pie-in-the-sky ideas; they are very realistic goals that can be achieved. We have seen other communities across the country achieve great success at improving quality and efficiency of the health system through similar initiatives."
The Commission proposes continual monitoring of bed need and
recommended system improvements. If the system improvements are taking
place and demand for hospital space is higher than projected toda

Deus Ex Human Revolution is a great game but has many flaws.

Deus Ex Human Revolution
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
is a good game with a Good Story and great Gameplay that is let down by Ai Flaws and some Glitches.
Story: is very good and one of the best parts of the game i won't say anything as i don't want to ruin it but it is very good.
Graphics: they could be better like the Characters faces are a bit dated and could have been animated better but there still good, the weapons are detailed and look good and the Cities and buildings are really well detailed and look good overall while not the best looking game your going to play it still looks very good.
Gameplay: in this game is great if you play it stealthy like it should be played then this game is really good and stealth is done well despite the sometimes bad enemiy Ai, now if you play it guns blazing which is the way i didn't play the game but i did try it on a different save file is not very good because you die in seconds and enemiy Ai is really quite bad in some points in the game they just stand there and never move and at some points its completely fine but if you play the game play it complete stealth as it is a lot better than if you go guns blazing which gets boring quite quickly but as i took its a stealth game i didn't really take much notice of the Guns Blazing approach as it is a stealth game and that is the way it is meant to be played, there is also some good Augmentations to use in this game like one you can cloak yourself most of the Augmentations are really good and useful but some not so much and there is also a variety of weapons to use from a Stun Gun to a Laser Rifle there all good to use in different situations but if your planning to play the game complete stealth without killing anyone bar the bosses then don't use the Tranquilizer Rifle too much as it can kill enemies but its not always glitched and usually is fine i completed the game without killing anyone and i used the Tranquilizer Rifle so its fine most of the time Overall the game plays really good with a Variety of Weapons to use the Stealth is one of the best parts of the game and is done really well but the guns blazing approach isn't very good.
Replay: there is some Replay like finding all the XP Books and playing the game different ways.
Great Graphics/Great Stealth Gameplay/Great Story/Good Replay Value.
Sometimes Bad Enemy Ai/not so Good Gun Fights/Graphical issues.
Score 8.5/10.0
if it wheren't for the Glitches and sometimes bad enemy Ai this game could have easily have got a 9.5/10.0 from me but still its a very good game but play it the Stealth way as it is much more rewarding and better.
Thanks for Reading.
