Ahead of Sundays Hungarian Grand Prix, there was plenty of excitement in GP2 at the Hungaroring on Saturday as Adam Carroll took his second victory of the year in a dramatic race dominated by a big accident on the pit straight.
Luca Filippi lost control of his Super Nova International car, which slid one way and then back on itself in the final corner before striking the outside tyre wall very hard and then spinning into the path of oncoming traffic. Vitaly Petrov collected Filippis detached rear wing, himself spun, and was collected by Xandi Negrao.
Carroll, who had been leading at the time because he had not yet made his pit stop, then did so immediately as the safety car contained the field. He was able to rejoin ahead of Karun Chandok, who had also yet to stop, and was then hounded to the flag by Kazuki Nakajima. The Japanese driver was on strong form all weekend, and for the first time in GP2 was racing in front of his illustrious father, former Lotus and Tyrrell driver Satoru, who made his first F1 appearance since Suzuka last year.
Another former F1 face in attendance was 1992 Andrea Moda pilot Perry McCarthy, who is now working with ING. And 1996 world champion Damon Hill was also on hand, deputising for British TV commentator Martin Brundle, and was accompanied by karting son Joshua.

On August 14 1984, Madonna's "Madonna" (The First Album) was certified 1x platinum (1 million units) in the USA.
Tag Archives: The First Album
Today in Madonna History: August 8, 1984
On August 8 1984, Madonna's "Lucky Star" was released. "Lucky Star" became Madonna's first U.S. top five hit (No. 4), and the first in a string of 17 consecutive U.S. top fives. The video, directed by Arthur Pierson, was a stark performance piece bringing together her brother Christopher Ciccone and Erica Bell as backup dancers. The clip was filled with black rubber jelly bracelets, lace and a certain gyrating belly button.
"Lucky Star" was written by Madonna and produced by Reggie Lucas and Jellybean Benitez.
Today in Madonna History: June 16, 1984
Today in Madonna History: May 21, 1983
On May 21, 1983, Madonna's "Burning Up/Physical Attraction" hit #3 on USA Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
"Burning Up" was written by Madonna and "Physical Attraction" was written by Reggie Lucas. Both were produced by Lucas with additional remixing by Jellybean Benitez.
Interestingly, the original copyright claim filed for the song "Physical Attraction", which remains on file at the U.S. Library Of Congress, lists Madonna as its sole writer and Only Child Music (who handled Madonna's songwriting publishing prior to the creation of Webo Girl) as its publisher, with no mention of Lucas or his publishing company, Likasa Music.
"Burning Up" went through several incarnations both before and after its official release. The earliest recording of the song to have surfaced is a live performance by Madonna with her band Emmy, likely from 1980. Although the lyrics underwent only minor revisions in later years, its initial guitar-driven arrangement and melody were relatively loose – if not underdeveloped. A more focused beat-driven version was recorded by Madonna with Stephen Bray in early 1982 and was featured on the four-track demo tape that brought her to the attention of Sire Records. In addition to the originally released version that appeared on the 12″ single, there are also two noticeably different album mixes of "Burning Up". Early vinyl pressings of her debut LP featured a longer version with alternate guitar and synth parts and more prominently mixed backing vocals. This alternate album mix resurfaced in 1985 as the b-side to the Angel single in the UK, but it has never been officially released in digital or CD format.

Water Resources of the United States
Date: Sat, 01 Mar 2014 00:03:10 EST
Summary: Minor to moderate flooding through-out California today as the second storm in as many days impacted the state.
A deep low spinning off the coast most of the day sent waves of precipitation through out the drought stricken state.
Heaviest amounts fell from Santa Cruz to the southern border and along the coast with lighter amounts in the Central Valley and northern portions of the state.
Because of the threat of mudslides and debris flows, some evacuations in limited areas below burns in canyons of the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles were suggested but not mandatory. Several rescues were conducted in urban drainages of the Los Angeles Basin. No deaths were reported at the time of this writing.
No peaks of record were reported, No gages damaged or destroyed.
Approximately 30 crews were deployed state wide and over 80 measurements discharge were made. Follow up activity will be made tomorrow
as storm activity is expected to continue, ending Saturday evening.

Both sides on vehicle ban argue positions
Election described as likely turning point for the city
The outcome of a vote on a proposed beach vehicle ban could be a turning point in the history of Corpus Christi, ban supporters and opponents said Monday in the first debate on the issue of the campaign season.
Mark Scott, a city councilman who supports the ban, debated Mike McCutchon, spokesman for the Beach Access Coalition, a group that opposes the ban. The forum was hosted by the Coastal Bend Bays Foundation, which has not taken a position on the issue.
The local economy would receive a boost in jobs and tax money if voters decide Nov. 7 to close 7,200 feet of beach to vehicles, Scott said. McCutchon argued the decision could lead to other developers asking for the same type of ban on other city beaches. Developer Paul Schexnailder has said the vehicle ban is necessary to bring a $1.5 billion resort to the island.
"It could be one of the things we look back 50 or 60 years from now and add to the list of significant economic achievements," Scott said, likening the vehicle-free beach to local economic engines such as the Port of Corpus Christi or Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
McCutchon said Schexnailder's land would be developed without a vehicle ban, bringing jobs and boosting property tax rolls. He pointed to condominium developments planned on the barrier islands and said Schexnailder owns valuable property near Packery Channel.
"That's better than gold; you can't buy that," McCutchon said. "I'm just not buying the idea you have to limit vehicle access in order to develop this property."
Scott countered that the townhomes and condominiums that likely would be built are not the same quality or price as the proposed $1.5 billion resort. The resort is planned to include restaurants, shops, homes and hotel rooms.
"Look for a (beach) resort in America that has cars in front of it," Scott said. "There just aren't any."
Moderators at Monday's debate also asked candidates for political office about the beach ban issue. Most did not take a position, saying they were glad voters could decide.
The Beach Access Coalition is against the first proposed charter amendment on the ballot, which would ban traffic from the Packery Channel south jetty to Padre Balli Park. The group says wooden posts could be used to separate traffic from pedestrians, although Schexnailder has said the idea is not feasible for a resort because traffic would flow between the resort and the beach.
Most City Council members and a group called It's About Time Corpus Christi support the ban, saying it has the potential to boost Corpus Christi into international resort status and boost the economy. The Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce and the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce also support the ban.

stsmytherie commented on the blog post When Did Adrian Lamo Start Working with Federal Investigators?
None of this adds up to anything as far as I can figure.
A) A chat log is a text file. Everything in it, timestamps included, can be added, removed, edited, created from pure fiction.
B) The delay in communication implies nothing. It could be network congestion. It could be chat participants not paying attention or dividing attention between separate tasks (browsing, coding, eating, phone call, watching TV…) and returning occasionally to continue the conversation. This is not at all uncommon.
C) It would be relatively trivial for a third party to listen in on the chat, even without active participation of the conversing parties. This also means nothing.
Maybe I missed some key element in this story over all the handwaving about Poulsen and Lamo. Is there evidence beyond these chatlogs definitively tying Manning to this chat session? Did someone physically observe him typing? Was a corroborating log found on his personal computer (to which only he had access)? Was someone capturing his network traffic or logging keystrokes? I think we need to go to the video.
From these chat logs alone we know next to nothing beyond what Wired, Lamo and the Feds want us to "know."
Computing 101. I am deeply skeptical.
stsmytherie commented on the blog post Will WikiLeaks Be the Internet's Titanic?
Marcy, if you could post some resources on the Titanic/radio connection, I'd appreciate it. I started doing an MA thesis on the web, radio and public policy something like a dozen years ago, but got sidelined by a career. Just unearthed my research notes yesterday for an article on a different tangent (patents, copyright and innovation). This Titanic angle is not something I'd come across in my (admittedly limited) original research and would like to dig deeper. Thx.

The idea for this blog has come about through my love for cooking and ultimately my love for chicken wings.
This blog is going to be a lot of fun as I take on the challenge of cooking a different cookbook every year. The hope is that I become inspired to invent my own recipes,learn new techniques and who knows maybe even have my own book.
So each year in my life starting from my birthday on July 4th I'll start a new cookbook.
For 2012/13 I will take on the challenge of: Wings Across America: 150 Outrageously Delicious Chicken-Wing Recipes by Armand Vanderstigchel . (The reason the first year has been delayed is because it has taken me 8 months to get my hands on this book)
This book is all about Chicken Wings and contains over 150 recipes. Yip it's going to be a lot of winging.
Not only will I cook, rate and review all the recipes, but I will be making videos on techniques for both eating, cooking and well whatever else it is you the readers want. Please check out the About page where I thank everyone that helped make this happen.
Without saying too much more about what is to come in 2012/13 all I can say is get a napkin and watch this space plate…

Cable Connector Has Smallest Contact Pitch in Industry
Mon, 03/09/2009 - 12:43pm
Measuring 0.4 mm, the contact pitch of Yokowo's vertical cable connector is purported to be the smallest in the industry. The cable connector features a profile of 1.5 mm and plug dimension of 1.2 mm x 2 mm. Two types of plugs are offered from Yokowo – an FPC Type and a Wire Type. The receptacle is compatible with both. A double-sided FPC Type is available for high-speed signal transmission and to prevent EMI (electromagnetic interference). The Wire Type allows for a solderless connection with a thin cable of AWG #38 to #36 (0.24 diameter including the coating).

In the bosom of the high Alps in Tirol, Austria, Kishore and Smita Iyengar discover the quaint, upper crust charms of ski haven Kitzbuhel, a heaven for the premium visitor, the prosperous adventurer, the affording guest, the discerning gourmand and the active nature lover
The picturesque Alps cradle it like an infant, fascinated by the wondrous sights and reflections around. In a seamless quilted carpet of a thousand greens, contrasted by affluent Alpine chalets, golf courses, wealthy farmlands and majestic snow peaks, Kitzbuhel is a discoverer's passion. In appeal and attraction, it matches and often surpasses St. Moritz in Switzerland, Chamonix in France and Aspen in Colorado. For, Kitzbuhel is small, easy to relate to and most of all, very friendly.
Kitzbuhel, Tirol is for the premium visitor, the prosperous adventurer, the affording guest, the discerning gourmand and the active nature lover. In peak seasons, winter and summer, you will see different tribes of two-legged species here. The hot months attract big spenders who love to tee off on one of the many grand golfing links, go trekking into the slopes, bike with friends, to mountain climbing, try canoeing and kayaking. And by the evening, settle down to guzzling beer and savouring a five-course, fine-dining treat at classy hotels like the Schwarzer Adler and retire into a chic suite at the fabulous Weisses Roessl.
Ski season
The winter skiing period brings in the active snow-crazed cognoscenti. The slopes are their highway, the ski runs are their passion, the mountains beckon to them with magnetic mettle. These super-affluent connoisseurs of fine cigars, great wines and grilled delights would spend good time in Kitzbuhel and it's premium dining addresses, shop at top brand boutiques, wear expensive Austrian or Welsh cardigans and be seen at the billiards tables with friends and cognac.
Kitzbuhel, Tirol is the exquisite playground of the very, very rich from around the world. And there are compelling reasons too. To get a feel of the platinum crest, dine at the much-awarded "Neuwirt", the celebrated fine-dining outpost at the ultra chic Schwarzer Adler or make time to relish the fine calibrated magic of celebrity Chef de Cuisine Bobby Brauer and his culinary wonders at the swish "Grand Tirolia" in Eichenheim in the hills. Chef Bobby's superb cuisine is inspired by Tuscany and the Mediterranean region…
Walk down the cobbled lanes into the Old Town precincts, look up designer names like Gossl and Swarovski and check out the latest offerings. Live it up in the plush classical retreats of the Weisses Roessl's state-of-the-art apartment suites. Hire a limo to drive you to the Kitzbuhel Golf Club for a thrilling glass of Burgenland red wine and some real panoramic golfing action in time for the 11th hole.
Varied offerings
If spirits are your style, head up to Erber's Edelbrand outlet for tastings of their signature Schnapps range — don't miss out their Vogel Beer and Weichsel varietals. It would be an excellent idea to visit Josefin and Josef Aufschnaiter's very special, exclusive designer glass and wooden craft boutique "Kunstraum" just outside little Jochberg. Their singular masterpieces in glass and wood will entice you with distinct class in avant-garde artistry.
Attractions of the countryside
If the wide open countryside is your take, cruise leisurely into charming Aurach and Jochberg where wealthy farmers with heritage Alpine chalets welcome you to sample out-of-the-world country Camembert cheese, home-made breads and herbal pastes. Explore quiet hamlets with onion-domed church spires, neat villas and well-tended greenscapes. And to top up the Alpine fiesta, ride up to "Rosi Sonnbergstubn" the fabulous Alpine gourmet address for a typical Tirolean lunch and beer, and have the effusive singing chef and owner Rosi strum up local ballads for your dining pleasure.
Kitzbuhel, Tirol. Happening yet quiet. Cosmopolitan yet Tirolean in heart. The Austrian Open Kitzbuhel, the 22nd Kitzbuhel Alpine Rally, The 7th Kitzbuhel Golf Festival and the Raiffeisen KitzAlpbike, Austria's biggest mountain bike festival — they bring this little Alpine resort into world focus with passion and verve.
And while you sit yourself in the Terrace of the iconic Tirolean hotel "Zur Tenne", enjoying butter soft cakes, Apple Strudel and Espresso in the heart of the Old Town with its brightly painted buildings, cafes and boutiques, you can tell yourself with pride that you are among the privileged and chosen few upper crust luminaries to have visited and absorbed the destination…Kirk Douglas, the Aga Khan, Coco Chanel, Bryan Adams, Prince Albert of Monaco, Demi Moore, Donna Karan.
KItzbuhel, Tirol in Austria. Decidedly not for everyone. But do go ahead, indulge your imagination to fly.
Destination Kitzbuhel
Reach Kitzbuhel from nearby Munich (two hours) on super highways. The most convenient, non-stop and direct connection to Munich from Mumbai is on Lufthansa German Airlines.
Things to shop: Shop for Tirolean handicrafts, crystal, glassware, choicest wines, designer apparel, cheeses and Schnapps.

Short dogs get difficult
Researchers are calling it the canine variant of short man's syndrome.
Professor Paul McGreevy, from the University of Sydney, is the lead author on the study of the behaviour of more than 8000 dogs covering 80 different breeds.
And it's found the smaller the dog, the more difficult its personality.
It also found a relationship between dog behaviour and its weight and skull shape.
Professor McGreevy says small dogs are harder to train and more inclined to mount objects.
'One behaviour trait that improves with height, which actually gets better with height, is trainability.
'So we've got all of these unwelcome behaviours that increase with shortness and, as you'd predict, trainability drops as the dog gets shorter.
'If you've got a dog that's mounting people you'll be relieved that it's not a St Bernard when the vicar comes around for tea and biscuits.'

I have owned 2 Jack Russell bitches. Same mother next litter. Could say sisters. One was very placid, never tried to escape. The other was very active and always on the main chance to escape.Once out the gate at a rapid rate, raiding garbage bins with her owner hot on her tail. Once out would not respond to calling or any other admonishments I,would leave the gate open and she would come home when she was good and ready, with a bedraggled owner trailing behind.
Both dogs were bought up together, trained the same way.
Obviously different personalities. Incidentally they both lived to an old age ,18 years old is a pretty good age for those funny,naughty, personality plus little dogs -

Perhaps we have made them that way because of our requirements. You could assume that people don't take the time and care to train small dogs because they are easier to control physically - you can pick it up and carry it if it's making a nuisance of itself. (I have heard of mini-dogs, the ones that I can never spell, doing well in obedience training, but it's rare.) On the other hand, if you have a large powerful dog, it's essential to have it well trained and under control. So maybe we have selectively bred in that direction.

They aren't harder to train, it's just that their owners don't seem to take them seriously & realise they are just as much a dog as a German Shepherd or Rottweiler. No-one would allow a large dog to behave in the ways that people let small dogs behave (oh look, he's barking, he thinks he's a big boy). Imagine if I let a Great Dane behave in the way you let a Chihuahua or Maltese Terrier behave. You'd be looking for the nearest tree to string me from. If you're going to get a dog, no matter if it's big or small, train it! At least take it to obedience & ensure it DOESN'T behave in a manner that shows it has "small dog syndrome".

Agree with previous comments that if you want a well behaved dog, it doesn't matter what size it is, take it to training and get it to pass the first level which is the basics. This will not only train the dog but will teach the owner about basics such as dominance and pack order. Mounting is a dominant behaviour and little dogs often end up dominant due to the way people treat them, not because they are born that way. Picking them up, putting face close to theirs, letting them get away with bad behaviour/barking etc all leads to a dominant dog. PS, I have a very well behaved jack Russell cross.

I disagree. I have a Jack Rusell Terrier and she's well behaved because I take the time to train her and continuing to give her obedience training. When dogs misbehave, large or small, it's all because their owners don't train them and continuously training them. Badly behaving dogs relapse when owners stop reminding them the boundaries. I agree though on smaller dogs tend to climb/mount on objects. Can you blame them? They probably don't like looking up all the time. Would you? My dog doesn't jump up on people but she does jumps and pushes your shin when she's excited to see you. She's small, that kinda greeting in my opinion is harmless. Of course I wouldn't let her do that to small children.

She set up the first all-women troupe in Karnataka
The last rites of noted theatre personality R. Nagarathnamma were performed at Harishchandra Ghat in Bangalore on Sunday in the presence of family members and friends.
Govind M. Karjol, Minister for Kannada and Culture; S. Suresh Kumar, Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs; B. Jayashree, Master Hirannaiah, and Girija Lokesh, theatre personalities; Malathi Sudheer, chairperson, Karnataka Nataka Academy; Hamsalekha, music composer; and B. Vijayakumar, president, Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, were among those present.
Nagarathnamma, 87, died at her Rajajinagar residence on Saturday night. She is survived by her son and two daughters. According to family sources, Nagarathnamma returned home on Thursday after undergoing treatment at a private hospital for 14 days. Born in 1926 to a traditional middle-class family in Mysore, Nagarathnamma was attracted towards Kannada theatre when she was 12.
She worked in professional theatre troupes such as Sri Chamundeshwari Nataka Sabha, H.L.N. Simha Select Artists, Hirannaiah's Mitra Mandali and Gubbi Company of Gubbi Veeranna.
She set up Stree Nataka Mandali, the first all-women theatre troupe in Karnataka, in Bangalore, and led it for several years. Nagarathnamma shot to fame by performing male mythological characters such as Kamsa, Krishna, Ravana, and Bheema.
Besides performing in Karnataka, Stree Nataka Mandali performed in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Punjab. Krishna Garudi was Nagarathnamma's most popular play. Stree Nataka Mandali was different from other women's theatre troupes as it was one among the longest surviving troupes solely because of Nagarathnamma's exceptional talent and disciplined approach towards theatre.
According to theatre artiste Manjula, Nagarathnamma's sister, the group did not involve men at any point, both in administration and on the stage. She was very protective of her troupe members. She was touring at the time of her husband's death and did not go home because she did not want to leave her colleagues behind.
Nagarathnamma acted in over 15 Kannada films that include Kamanabillu with Rajkumar and Parasangada Gendethimma with Lokesh. She acted in Tamil films too. Movie buffs still remember her performance in Rosapoo Ravikkaikari with Shivakumar. She was conferred the Padma Shri in April.

Just a improvement in your credit score can provide you with a great interest rate instead of a mediocre one.
Greg McBride, Senior Financial Analyst, Bankrate.com:
"The difference of a few points on your credit score may seem inconsequential, but the thresholds matter. If you're on the wrong side of one of those important thresholds -- like say you're just shy of a 700 credit score -- it can not only impact the price you pay for credit, it can also impact your ability to get approved for credit in the first place."
Here are some easy tips to boost your score to qualify for the best interest rates. First off, you need to know what your score is. If you don't know it, you can register online at one of the sites now offering your credit score for free or use a score estimator like the one on Bankrate.com.
Next, check your credit report for anything out of place; things like old, paid-off debts still being reported, accounts that aren't yours or late payments that were, in fact, made on time. Contest these items with the credit bureaus to take these negative strikes off your record.
Still, you can't hide credit bumps and snags that are true. But you can show that you've gotten better with credit by making your payments early or on time and paying down loan balances.
The one thing you should never do when trying up your score is close unused accounts. It can lower your available credit, and can shorten your average account age, both of which are bad for your score. You don't want to look like a credit newbie.
Other quick tips are to transfer some balances on cards that are almost maxed out to some of your less utilized cards. If you're looking for a way to beat the system, check out your credit report for the day of the month creditors report your debt, then start making payments a few days before then. By paying down your cards each month, it will look like you're never carrying a balance.
Follow these tips and you should see your score grow and your interest rates for new products shrink. For more on boosting your credit and to shop for the best interest rates on a variety of products, check out Bankrate.com. I'm Lucas Wysocki.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Heads to "Magic City"
The tall, dark, and handsome actor—who will always be Denny Duquette from Grey's Anatomy to me—returns to the small screen in Starz's latest original drama Magic City. Call it the Mad Men of Miami Beach. Set in 1958, the show (which has already been picked up for a second season) recreates a turbulent time, complete with mafia, CIA agents, and a flashy and ambitious hotelier named Ike Evans (played by Morgan). Here, the actor gives us a little history lesson, reveals why he thinks the show will be a success, and more.
Q: What made you want to get involved with the show?
A: First and foremost, as an actor, you want to go where the writing is. I read three or four episodes going into having lunch with Mitch Glazer, the writer and executive producer. Within 10 minutes of sitting down, I agreed to do it, and the rest, I hope, will be history.


text: I need help! I exercise after work. (I teach school) I'm often hungry before exercising and am not sure what kind of snack I should have before going....then after exercising I'm hungry again.

I'm trying to do WW, so I can pretty much have anything suggested as long as I plan for it.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
by Christopher Durang
Directed by Michael Evan Haney
March 18 - April 12
Stuck in their family home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Vanya and his adopted sister Sonia live a quiet existence until their lives are thrown into comic upheaval with the arrival of their B-list celebrity sister, Masha, and her 20-something boy toy, Spike. Add to that a soothsaying housekeeper, a star struck young neighbor and a rather odd costume party, and the stage is set for mayhem and hilarity in this present-day homage to Chekhov. Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play.
Steve's Take: Chock-full of amazingly eccentric characters, absurd situations and unforgettable twists that will keep you laughing all the way home. |

There are some spathiglottis in the last pic of the water lily. No flowers as yet The Vandas are kept between two queen palms to the upper left of the first pic . my fancy vandas are kept in the SH way out of the pix lol gary |

Katkin If you sit in the chair you will be bombarded by squirrels and bluejays lol i find Magaritas the beverage of choice if you have 3 you see a lot more color and form 4 and you get music!! lol Have noticed a drop in temps from all the stone and no mud YAYYY lol Notice no one picked up on all the plants are in pots save the suriname cherry and all were grown from seed except the crocodile and asplenum ferns and they were two dollar WM specials lol Need 3 more stones to finish this side and then to work on the path on the other side At the far end I'm adding a tree fern forest and to the right an epiphyte "grotto" This is at least the 5th reincarnation of the grow area and it sure looks a lot better than 500 pots in rows lol Hopefully the hurricane gods will be kind this year?? Thanks for all the nice comments !! gary |
Gary, whip up a batch and I'll be right over. :o) But seriously your garden is so inviting. I'd see color and hear music with out the Margaritas. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 20:29
Gary, I didn't notice that all of your plants were in pots - I guess because they all look so comfortable and fitting nestled into their locations. But I did notice that your large birds nest fern in the first photo was in a pot. I have a similar-sized one as well as two slightly smaller ones, all in pots. They did so well this past winter that I'm thinking about moving them into the ground in their same locations. They showed absolutely no sign of frost/freeze after a night of 10-hour hard freeze and a low of 23.5 F. But I thought I'd ask you first: why is yours in a pot? Is there a benefit? Thanks! |
hi Number one reason for me is "powder sand with a bunch of seashells " Even the weeds struggle in my soil.. Number two is I like groups of plants and ignore rule # 1 keep beds less than 3 feet wide .Notice that evil queen palm in the BG?? It needs pruning about every two weeks lol. In pots I can move everything out , prune and damage nothing. Also my neighbors have a row of areca palms and all the fronds fall on my side lol. The queen is in a buried pot because it's directly under the power lines . the pot helps restrain it and when time to remove MUCH EASIER.?? I'm replacing with a group planting of ptychosperma palms this time . As to ferns i always start with very small plants and MUCH easier to grow in pots and again easy to rearrange as they grow. BN ferns are tough but they do get large . One other thing is Coleus can't resist putting cuttings in every pot and space and they quickly become leggy shrubs so need constant regrouping .. I can get them to grow in the ground BUT those in pots are twice as vigorous for much longer. For me pots are the best answer. I suspect they would grow in the ground with enough water but what to do when they get too big?? I'm a hopeless "collector" not a landscaper. The "tree fern area " will be mostly in improved soil due to size but most of the underplantings will be in pots In a weak moment i bought a tiny start of an elephant fern which is in a 6 inch pot in that area . This year I'm seeing considerable growth. They are reputed to be the "worlds largest fern" with fronds 20 feet long . Worse they are trailing habit never upright or "tree " habit have heard they are difficult for many reasons So my thought was it'll croak before it becomes a problem lol Good luck with whatever you decide . Curious as to how you will arrange the bed?? gary |
That's gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen a pic of your garden before. Wonderful to see it. Though wasn't it you years ago who posted photos of a meadow with fruit trees? Bill |
Bill That's because there never has been anything resembling a "garden " in the area lol The worst was 500 pots in rows |

Wow you sure did a lot of work on that stone path! It looks great-kinda has that courtyard feel to it with the water garden. What variety of tropical of water lily is that one? |
Hi That pool, is only 5x10 and the "Blue Goddess" takes every square inch of the surface so had to remove all other plants I have started a planting of asian lotus in the far corner in a large planter. Seems to struggling so far. I've grown lotus before but the dwarf hybrids which were weeds lol It is growing but slowly and seems unhealthy. Got a very large tuber but had no growth or roots on it in Jan. Guess I'll have to be patient?? lol gary |
Nice job! Looks like a great place for margaritas . |

hi The "Blue Goddess" will easily cover the 5x10 with 3 foot pads by mid summer . Then they start to stack up it even crowded out the water hyacinth lol. Normally it will go dormant in Jan /Feb but not this year never even stopped flowering lol It will multiflower but by disbudding you can get 15 inch flowers standing two feet out of the water. very nice sky blue with purple anthers and has an incredible aroma. So I let it have the entire pool The lotus I just got in Feb of this year supposedly it will get 10 feet tall with 3 foot pads .About the size of a large carrot no pads or roots Came from central Texas so was completely dormant. It is growing pads but no roots so far.. I did fertilize it with spikes . BIG mistake !! Entire pool turned bright green lol. IME with smaller varieties ,they grow floating pads then the standing . but this one is growing both but small and short lived no roots at all so far. I'm opptomistic !! Have to wait and see?? This pool was originally built to hold rainwater and evolved into a "lily pool" after passing through a tropical fish growout tank to now a water garden The winter of 09 wiped out all my tropical fish so now have GF. Takes up a lot of room but feel the WL is worth it lol Since the rest of the area is maturing strong sunlight is getting rare and WL /lotus need alot of it the future is somewhat cloudy lol You should build a pool fish/water garden . Many waterplants are some of the worlds most spectacular. good luck gary |

Wow, your place is a garden paradise! You definitely can't tell your plants are in pots. You've done a fantastic job. I'm going to have a margarita or two tonight with tacos, only a couple of days late for Cinco de Mayo. Happy Gardening ~ FlowerLady |
Gary, Just beautiful. Thx for the pics. |
Hi Here is a closeup of the Goddess. During summer I disbud and can get 15 inch flowers standing two feet out of the water Another benefit is that it has a terrific aroma. Only complaint is that the pads are plain medium green and it grows very aggresively. gary |
somehow I have not had sucess growing water plants. I am trying again this year. i don't have a big pond, so I grow in pots. Any suggestions?? I will look for this variety. Thx. |
Hi being a fish keeper/breeder I've always kept small inground ponds so plants were secondary. Almost no experience with growing in extternal pots but I see many pix of it. SJN on this post is certainly doing it?? Most water plants require a lot of sun and get very large for a pot. I have a 5x7 in dappled shade about a foot deep where I'm experimenting with various tropical .Spathiphyllum, swamp lily, swamp iris,calathea ,maranta ,canna, split leaf philo. and amazon swords .. Only up around two years but so far is doing well. usually you can make a small inground for around the price of a large pot,spent less than 50 on this one. Maybe SJN will make some suggestions for true water plants?? gary |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Fri, May 9, 14 at 10:26
Gary, wow 15 inch flowers sound amazing! I kinda like the combination of cool green leaves with the very light blue flowers it adds to the serenity of the lily. Did you build your pond with blocks surrounding it and then add a liner and then something to top the liner? That might be a good option for me because then I wouldn't have to dig through a bunch of tree roots. It is very wooded here. Do you have a fountain or filter pump in your pond? The Miami Rose water lily has two large buds getting ready to pop out of the water. It is a new variety for me this year so I am excited to see it bloom. I will post pics when it does :) radhavall, I use mosquito dunks to control mosquitos. You only need a small piece to add to a pot. You can also use small fish if the water stays cool enough towards the bottom of the pot. Sams club has some nice large pots without holes for about 22.00 that is what I am using this year. Working out well so far. Those large red pots on the ends of the urns in the photo above were purchased at Big Lots one year for 15.00 each. Not too bad for really large pots. You can use half whiskey barrels, small preformed ponds or put a pond liner into just about anything. I know someone who is growing hardy waterlilies on her apt balcony and they do really great. Water lilies in a container will never be as large or spectacular as the ones in ponds but they will bloom and look pretty. Some are also fragrant. If you know what kind of plants you want to try I can give more detailed planting instructions for water pot culture. ~SJN |
Thank you so much. Water lillies and Lotus are the ones I am trying. I have 2 water lillies and 5 lotuses. I tried chawan basu and momobutan 3 years in a row without success. They grow and I have nice laves and thats it. I also had standard white lotus tuber that grew very well and last oct, it died suddenly. It just rotted. The lotus seeds I tried also grew but then 2-3 months later just did'nt do well. This year I got standard pink lotus / Hindu lotus,and another from texas waterlillies and 2 bowl lotus from ebay and one from local nursery hoping that maybe local grown will be better. At this point in time I just want something to bloom!! I do place mosquito dunks. I have top soil that I got from garden center. I did not use potting soil. Thank you so much. |
hi The pond in the pic is made of stacked p.t 4x4's . Was first built in 1981. around 16 inches above and dug down around two feet below ground Had some serious rot so was redone in march of 12. Have always used fiberglass tarps as a liner Decided to replace it though it didn't leak after all those years lol Went with a "sea blue " don't think it matters much as it can't be seen anyway. The caps are vinyl fence boards still haning in there after 30 years It uses a "purge" systen as filtration rainwater comes from the roof , underground and joins the pool at the bottom Have a two foot weir on the back to provide skimming and overflow. goes into a "march garden" in the back . Have never used any other type of filtration circulation, works well with steady rains and purge from the hose when dry. Was originally built to contain rainwater but evolved into a water garden/fish pond over the years . originally it had mosaic tile on the exposed wood but haven't replaced as yet after the repair. Thinking of making a "grillwork" to grow epiphytes at least on the front. Check around before building there are a gazillion ways to do it!! lol gary |

quote:"College football is a business and you have to conduct yourself in a manner where you respect everyone you deal with," said LSU sophomore offensive lineman Trai Turner. "I feel like if the person is gay, he must still conduct himself in the manner of a football player, and if a person isn't gay, he must still look at the person who views himself as gay, or says he is gay, as his teammate."
quote:"Being gay won't do nothing for you," Turner said. "If I knew I was lining up in front of somebody that was gay, I'm going to pancake him and sit on him just like I would on anybody else."
quote:"If he can play for LSU, he will play for LSU," Rivers said.
quote:"In today's society, I think there would be something extra for the person lining up against that person," Rivers said. "You get trash-talking whether you have those problems or not, and I could see that happening."
quote:"I believe that this is an important issue, one that does need to come to the forefront, that does need to be talked about," Hairston said. "But I think the main thing is people can learn as fans, as athletes, as just people in general, just respect one another and it ends at that."
quote:"I would handle it as what's important and what's best for the team," Miles said. "I would treat him, and expect his teammates to treat him, in an appropriate and straightforward manner. ... It would have to be something that I took to an office and kind of describe how I saw locker rooms and how I saw travel and how I saw staying in hotel rooms and how I saw those things. If that's not an issue, I think things could be resolved."
quote: how you going to say you can do what we do and you want a man?"
quote:So if you gay, we look at you as a sissy.
quote:"Football is supposed to be this violent sport — this aggressive sport that grown men are supposed to play," said senior LSU running back Alfred Blue. "Ain't no little boys out here between them lines. So if you gay, we look at you as a sissy. You know? Like, how you going to say you can do what we do and you want a man?"
quote:"If I knew I was lining up in front of somebody that was gay, I'm going to pancake him and sit on him just like I would on anybody else."
quote:Who cares?
quote:I kind of care that we have some pretty ignorant people on our football team

I'm looking for exercise ideas while I'm pregnant. I'm just starting to get over the crippling exhaustion and nausea of the first trimester and am eager to get back into being active. Before I got pg I was doing Turbo Jam, but I feel that might be a bit intense to start back with after not being active for more than 6 weeks. If anyone has any ideas that I can do with my kids that would be great too, I have an almost 3 year old and an almost 1 year old that I am alone with all day (with no car, so taking them to a gym or something with child care is not an option), so doing something with them or that includes them in some way would be ideal, but any ideas would be great!

So after countless hours of my life spent on this forum, I'm finally gettin' around to making my build page!
First off, big thanks goes out to S.E.R.O. and the help with working on the truck and ideas! Another big thanks to TW member Neslerrah for all the questions I had in the beginning of this process many months ago!
So here we go, pics:
-Readylift 5 lug kit
-Billy HD Front shocks
-Fat Bob's rear shocks
-245/75/16 Kumho AT
-16" Gear Alloy Double Pump
-Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler
-HID Headlight kit
This has been a busy week for the truck as it got a decent face lift in the audio and front end.
-Paint matched Grill and Eye Lids
-Grillcraft Uppers and Lowers
-Kenwood DNX 9960 Double Din
*So far, I've been very impressed with this unit. Coming from the AVIC Z3 I decided some newer technology was in order. The unit has a very easy IPOD interface, great Equalizer options, fantastic video, and of course the super easy Garmin Navigation.
-Pioneer GM-5400T amp
-Image Dynamics CTX65CS components
*I now understand all the hype about these speakers. They've been sitting around for a while (I was running stock speakers off the AVIC), and am now kicking myself for not installing these earlier! They sound AMAZING!
Ignore the Air fresheners and the music! LOL, quit smoking recently and I just now got rid of that nasty smoke smell!
Thanks for looking!
