I'm planning on planting things on the bare patches of some embankments, for erosion control, decoration and wildlife interest. I noticed the bare patches had soil that was a mixture of sand and fine gravel. What native plants can grow in that soil? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by tree_oracle z6b MA (My Page) on Mon, Mar 18, 13 at 19:38
I'm a big fan of creeping junipers for this situation. They love exactly the situation you describe. You may have to water them the first year but after that they will be just fine. Daylilies are as tough as nails and will survive just about anywhere. Why not just broadcast some wildflower mix over the area. You may have to put down a thin layer of soil and some sort of landscape fabric or hay or something similar to keep the seed from washing away. The flowers would reseed the area every year and you get to enjoy a wall of color. |
- What direction does the embankment face? - Is it shaded by anything (trees, building, or the land slope) and for how much of the day? - Is there runoff from a road at the top of the embankment or will it get splashed by salt spry? - How large an area is it? |
The embankment faces Southwest. No runoff, but it gets salt spray a few times a year. I suppose in theory the embankment shades itself in the morning, but generally it gets lots of sun. The embankment is long but not terribly high, and there are just a couple strips and patches of bare sandy gravel. Trying to stay away from annuals, because I figure the roots of perennials will provide better erosion control in the winter. |

I have a 50 foot wide, west-facing steep slope behind my house (so no salt exposure) that's too steep to mow which is densely planted with daylilies, rugosa rose, Burkwood Viburnum near the bottom, and some type of crawling tall groundcover. It's mulched with hardwood curls from DH's woodshop and has edging to separate it from the grass. I maybe put a couple of hours into maintaining it each year doing a bit of weeding and renewing mulch periodically. You'll want plants that are xeric (because of the slope, the SW exposure, and the sandy/gravelly soil) as well as salt tolerant. Below I've linked a list from NC State (so you'll need to check hardiness) of plants that tolerate salt. Underlined plants will be fine with the dryness, though any planting will need watering the first year while it gets established and the plants with asterisks are native to the SE coast and may well be native in New England. I'd also plan to mulch the slope with a textured or shreddy bark mulch once you've planted to help hold in what moisture you get, keep weeds down while the planting gets established, and keep moisture levels more even. Here's another list specifically for the MA coast. Plants that occur to me include Perennials which will be OK with your conditions (some of which are native and some aren't) You may be able to find other lists similar to the one I listed if you google salt tolerant plants or coastal plants. I think that you want to have either repetion of plants or plant drifts or clumps of each kind of plant you choose so that it doesn't look to busy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: salt tolerant plants
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 19, 13 at 16:05
Delosperma is salt and drought tolerant and will thrive in full sun. There are several hardy kinds, with shades of pink, purple, yellow and bicolors. They are evergreen, but the leaves do darken in winter, some kinds to purple. But they plump up and look good early on in spring. Some flower heavily in spring and then less so all season, while others start the show a bit later, but remain more-or-less covered with flowers all season. |
I thought of a few other native perennials that will be fine in your conditions: Baptisia australis with its decorative bluish foliage, medium shrub size (though it's a perennial) and gorgeous blue spring flowers Baptisia alba (US native, but not to MA) Coreopsis lanceolata Coreopsis verticillata |
How about Yuccas? Great blooms and will stabilize soil erosion. |

Love that ice plant, Bill. I've been thinking about planting some for a while. My wife and I spent our honeymoon in southern California when the ice plants were blooming. I think of it every time I see those blooms. I want to surprise her by planting some. What is the cultivar in your picture? That color bloom is the one we saw the most so I think I'll plant that variety. |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Wed, Mar 20, 13 at 11:49
Tree oracle, Unfortunately I don't know the type. I bought it locally, and I also have this other one: The one I posted earlier blooms in spring very heavily (as you saw) and then again throughout the season but not as profusely. The photo here is another type that grows a bit taller, and although it starts blooming a bit later, it is generally covered with flowers throughout the season until really cold weather starts. Sometimes there are a few brave flowers into December. I will try to find out both names for you. |
Hi Bill, you have a nice form of Delosperma if it blooms until December.......nice to see such a long bloomer. I have a species which self seeds in my garden........the plant always dies but seeds regrow and by September it starts blooming.....just in time to set more seed. It's a thick leaf form......I think D. ashtonii. Here's a few I tested when I lived in Rhode Island: |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Thu, Mar 21, 13 at 6:28
Tim - Yes that one I think would bloom year round if we didn't get the freezing weather. When it's warm enough, I have had a few blooms even into December, but of course the real "show" is probably May-October. When you come by you can get some cuttings of both. The catalogs usually say they spread to 18" but mine have passed than long ago so plenty to clip pieces. |

Some good suggestions here. I have a lot of gravel and sandy soil (I've had to augment areas where I want to garden). Here are some things that grow in my very lean soil, if not right next to the roadway (gravel, sand). Any moisture there? Any humus or leaf mold at all? Virginia creeper (vine or ground cover, but avoid where people actually want to walk as they might trip on vines. Easy to grow in sun, part sun. Birds eat fruits (berries) in autumn. Turns red in Aug-Sept. Yarrow: both the wild (white) or cultivated varieties. gallica rose for very sandy areas, but not beach sand or pure gravel. Boule de Nantuile (spelling). Blooms in June. Very fragrant. Suckers. Three ft or 28" in height. Trouble free and delightful. Bracken like ferns There is a (growing in popularity) saltwort that is edible when tender. Look under saltwort (Johnnyseeds) or salicornia. It is said to be akin to "asparagus" and grows in the wild in salt marshes. Sun, part shade. I have never grown it. Good luck. And I appreciate it when people plant those dry, sandy patches or stabilize homely barren slopes with stabilizing vegetation that adds beauty and perhaps bird and butterfly and bee nurishment. |
Thanks for the advice! I like nhbabs's suggestion of Baptisia australis...I like legumes because they generate their own fertilizer, and purple flowers would be a nice contrast with the existing pink and yellow. I like the Beach Plum, Bearberry, and Bayberry suggestions...in fact I planted one of each last Fall. The catch with planting in the Fall is you have to wait until Spring to see if they survive...if they did I may plant more. I'm considering Yarrow, Chokeberry, New Jersey Tea, and Mexican Evening Primrose. I actually purchased some Virginia Creeper seeds but am hesitant to plant something that aggressive that doesn't at least have flowers. Rugosa Rose, Eastern Red Ceder, grass, bittersweet, honesysuckle, and poison ivy grow in the spots with organic matter now. (Rugosa Rose has managed to grow in a few of the pure gravel spots, but I'm hesitant to plant more because I've been told it is invasive.) My goal is to find something that suckers and has either pretty flowers or attracts birds and can survive in the bare sand and gravel spots where even the weeds won't grow, in the hopes that they will spread, hold down the soil, and maybe result in a few flowers scattered among the weeds. I'm leaving the weeds, on the theory weeds are pretty good at holding down soil...think "Naturalistic Planting" or "Wildflowers". |

And joke aside. I just read her skill description and Leona is going to by awesome champion *.* She will have skill-shot gap-closer skill (skill-shot yay!), another stun, damage reduction ability and sun blast as ultimate! Also her passive sounds great, I hope it also buffs her damage against target. I can't wait to get her, and maybe try some off-tank builds later.
I'm pumped even though i won't get her, it will give my friends another great tank that is actually a viable tank. The first one since shen o.O
Im deeply concerned a to how this LOW COOLDOWN LOW DURATION STUN is going to effect the game. I mean riot have often said they wouldnt make items like DotA's Cranium basher and spammable stuns because they ruin the meta game. If she can stun every few seconds champions like Nunu, Warwick, Malzahar, Katarina, Galio, Jax all become useless.
Forde Fortuna
As a CDR Summoner, I am pretty excited for a low CD tank. That aside, she sounds like a combination of Lux's Passive, Lee Sin's skill shot gap closer, and Galio's ulti (which will probably be her ultimate as well). Am I reading their blurb wrongly when it says she has two stuns?
Death Crave
her stun will most likely be like udyr's once every 6 seconds on the same target. Her gap closer skillshot is tryndameres whirlwind which is already the best skill in the game in 3v3 in 5v5 its good but not completely game breaking. Her ult was supposedly an aoe stun like amumus but not instant, something like a meteor crashing into an area so it will take skill to land. She will be one of the few actual tanks, so her damage will be minimal. And the omg too much cc is a joke seeing how amumu and blitz have 2-3 cc's each and cho gath also has 2. In fact most tanks have 2 cc skills except taric although he is a support tank not a true tank, same with singed or galio. But finally a female tank, who looks like she will be my favorite champ other than the scorpion they are releasing. I just love sword and shield champs and we finally are getting one, I pray it doesnt get turned into a lame paladin mace.
Onimus Terlain
She sounds very very interesting. I wanna try her.

The 15 Dumbest Things You Hear at Work
I want to point out the most ridiculous work sayings or cliches that really get on my nerves. It's as if taking something simple and phrasing it in an idiotic and often nonsensical way has become a key part of fitting into corporate culture. I say NO. Let's take a look at my favorite 15 of these gems...
15) Best Shored – as in, we're going to have this project "best shored." Ouch. Talk about euphemisms. This isn't even proper English AND it's insulting and foreboding all at the same time.
14) Too Many Indians, Not Enough Chiefs -- I'm amazed that in our politically correct world, this phrase seems to linger on. And in reality, it's usually the other way around-- there are far too many middle managers trying to prove that their jobs have some meaning and impact and not enough people actually doing work.
13) Run it up the Flagpole and see if someone salutes it -- Wow. This is guilty of so many things, but most importantly of trying to tie poetic imagery and patriotism into a business decision.
12 ) Evolutionary not Revolutionary -- we get it, you're talking about incremental change. But the fact that this rhymes does not merit that ridiculously smug look you get after you say it.
11) Can't Change a Leopard's Spots-- Are you saying that some things are permanent? Wow, great observation! You're so clever!
10) Do you have Enough Bandwidth? – The answer to this is always supposed to be yes but in reality is no. Why bother asking it? And does it make sense to use a networking metaphor to discuss the 45 year old woman in accounting's availability?
9) Let's not Fight the Tide -- this is humorous because the person that says it generally would stand no chance of fighting anything but a twinkie wrapper. You know what I mean, too.
8) Let's Not Go Into "Solution Mode" Yet – Immediate translation: I have no plan. Secondary comment: I didn't realize that you had to enter a particular state of mind to solve a problem. Shouldn't companies always be in "solution mode"?7) Keep the Train on the Tracks -- this essentially says nothing. Trains are at their very foundation of design meant to stay on tracks. A derailment is a one-in-a-million accident, not something you have to actively work against. Yet this is said as if it's an everyday occurrence.
6) Sing from the Same Hymn Book -- not only is this offensive to people who don't practice organized relgion, but anyone that has sung from a hymn book knows that half the people are frantically trying to find what verse they're on while the ones that are singing are butchering the song. By the time the first half catches on to where they are, everyone else is at "amen."5) Work to a Program -- as opposed to working haphazardly? "Hey boss, I want to work as randomly as possibly, OK?"
4) Tighten our Belt -- belts go around the middle... meaning we're going to squeeze the people who actually do the work, and leave the top alone.3) Give 150% -- you are aware that this is actually an impossible task, yes? Then why do you say this at practically every meeting?
2) Peel Back the Onion – This is an insanely odd reference, as I can pretty much guarantee most people don't peel back onions ever, yet for some reason that's become a basic part of their job description.
And the #1 worst work saying:
1) Come to Jesus Meeting -- With one phrase, you have taken a simple concept of a group discussion and managed to make both Christians and non-Christians feel uncomfortable. That right there, is 100% of the people, and is worthy of recognition.

Someone once rang me up and asked if I would like to meet to discuss arrangements 'going forwards'. The cliché irritated me so much I didn't go ahead with the meeting. I just said 'I don't think there's much point, do you? I have met the person since but did not hear the expression 'going forwards' once. Believe me I would have noticed; it's like a stone in the shoe to me. Cliches: kill 'em off!
Another one I hate is ''Moving Forward''..ugh
"Panties in a bunch" is the worst
Im surprised no one thought of "No worries". I never heard of that term before I started working for a real company and its so OVER USED. If I ever hear that f*cking term one more time, I'm am going to punch somebody in the face. I am so thankful to have found this. I seriously thought I was the only one. I thought when I got annoyed at these things that I wasnt made for the cooperate world but thats not true. You just get sick to death of hearing the same thing over and over! Its human nature damnit! Thank you to the author of this article and the replyers.
Let's not forget to "tie off" with so-and-so. That means to give them a call or e-mail to discuss the issue.

These are too funny! I wonder where all these execs and managers hear this garbage. It seems to be omnipresent.
I hate "as well as" and "forward thinker" , and definitely "touching base" I've even heard "touching bases" (the plural version I guess). agghhh I scream everytime, and want to rip and shred my co-workers faces until they look like freddie kruger!! i'm in office cliche hell! oh, and let's not forget the trip to the lunchroom "are you coming with?" with what? my uzi? my machete? my sharp wit? just what is it you are asking exactly, please finish the sentence, it's maddening.
Okay. let's have a Come to Moses meeting, but only if The Mountain Won't Come to Mohammed.
I guess I should be thankful that no one where I work ever says any of these things I think it must be an American thing.

The only repeated phrase I hear is "going to the port?"

Which means the local pub.
"Can you work Saturday?" That's worse than ALL these combined!
Looks like someone has a bad case of the Mondays.
My worst was when my boss was on a kick where she kept talking about how we needed a paradigm shift in our thinking. We were also required to read the book "Who Moved My Cheese?"
I have to add mine to this. My ex boss's absolute favourite, is: "Well, the ball is in your court" - I really loved this one, especially since the decision that he was refering to, was actually his to make.
I hate them all!

my boss used them all the time
good post... one of the ones I *hate* is:

You need to have skin in the game....

Oy, I just hate that... makes me cringe every single time. Yes, I know its a sports reference and I like sports but I just hate the phrase!!!!!!!
Never heard of "Come to the Jesus meeting". But oh, at work I got so tired of "ball park figures" and people being "given the red card" and "bottom lines" and "ducks in a row" and "close of play" and "tell the troops" and "cascading down" and "have a nice one" (a nice WHAT?) and "take on board" and "moving the goalposts" and "proactive" (UGGGH!) and "actioning" things, and "brainstorming" and "incentivise" and "out of the loop" and "touching base." Sometimes I am really glad I have just retired!
It's extraordinarily irritating to hear "Now you see the thing is" three times in a single sentence about a single subject. Mix this in with "You see, the thing wrong with you kids today..."

sweet jesus!
"Come to Jesus meetings?" I've never heard; I'm not even sure what that means. The two things that I hate hearing at work are:

1. "Think outside the box." Dear Lord, I will personally stuff the next person who says that at my workplace into a box, tape it shut and send it to Siberia,

2. "It is what it is." Oh, really? Is it? That's like saying, "Today is tomorrow's yesterday," or some other stupid surfer philosophy $#%!
I have never, ever heard of a "Come to Jesus Meeting". My all time lit cigerette in the eye is "We need everyone to be on board". Usually followed up with the 150% effort thing. Oh and being called a "team member". That's just patronizing.
haha this was funny. I've only ever worked retail or food service so I can't really relate. Witty story, though.
We use the "Six Hat Theory" of problem solving.

If youre wearing your red hat you are expressing your feelings.

White hat is stating the facts.

Green hat is brain storming.

Yellow hat is strategize and reorganize.

Black hat is playing devils advocate and questioning ideas.

and Blue Hat represents mental strategizing as a whole.

I want to gag evertime the CEO says "OK everyone lets get on our Yellow hats." HAHAHA. What grade are we in again? I think of my kidergarten teacher every freaking time. I keep waiting for someone to yell "Criss cross applesauce" during one of our team meetings. Yack.
In our office, some people are still attempting to brainstorm!
I hate it when they say " My door is always open ".
OMG - I find it incredible that among some of the finest minds here, none of us came up with "read between the lines." I especially like this one when the report is double-spaced. I like to write stuff between the lines so that there's something to read - snide comments, Linda Blair from the Exorcist quotes, similar quotes from the Saturday Night Live parody of Linda Blair, dirty limericks......
Look, "people," if we can't get you "thinking outside the box" (don't forget the obligatory accompanying hand motions with that one), can we at least "interface" (insert two-handed finger quotation marks here) about whether we're even "on the same page of the playbook?" Or are we going to have to "go back to Square One?" We could "take this one over the top!" But to be "proactive" about "the whole nine yards," let's get to "the long and short of it." How about we "brainstorm this at the quarterly corporate retreat coming up next month? Where we will make lemonade of the lemons we've just been handed" BLMPHM!!! (Closest I could come to the noise of disgust that came out when I re-read this.) But I wanted to play, too.
How about being "proactive instead of reactive", which is almost the same as "nipping it in the bud". I usually hear being on the same page instead of hymn sheet, and I have never heard the Jesus meeting one. Lol, that's a scary one!
At the office I work in, we don't get the typical sayings. Instead, the owner got a huge grease board to write the phrase of the week on it, which is on the wall right when you walk in. For the past month it has been a drawing of a key with the saying, "Your key to happiness." It makes me cringe every time I see it.
hahaha nice i like it! yeah...those things are annoying and the people who say them are like the biggest nerdbombers in the world. (no offense to THOSE guys lol!!) yeah...it kinda reminds me of micheal from the Office. those are some things HE would say lol!! AND he would then want to host a 5k for the cure of rabies. hahaha
let's put this behind us and move forward.....

The last bloke who told me that, well we just don't do any business together now
Oh God... I'm looking for a job, I don't need this kind of disincentive right now!

Technically you could give 150%, if you did were half as productive again as you were *last* time. 'Course if you kept on doing that you'd need to be exponentially productive, which would get tiring.
this is a great list.. but really we answer to our customers so why don't we:

run it up the flagpole and see if someone salutes

rub it on the cat and see if it licks it off

or put it outside and see if the dog eats it.

The sys admin's daily grind: LUG Camp 2010 and Python
From the Lower Rhine to Central Franconia, on his journey, Charly found beaten gold, relaxed Linux users, abandoned beer cellars, and a Python one-liner for presentable photos of the tour. A once-in-a-year experience.
Last year, the President of the Schwabach LUG, Sven Velts, finally gave way to LUG campers' power play and created a registration website for the 11th camp. In May 2010, hordes of LUGgers set out from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and headed for Roth, a town that neighbors Schwabach, Germany where the hard-working organizational team presented a Wilhelminian-period gymnasium as base camp.

The work of Jenny Gaynor might just come as a replacement to the kitchen fridge when it comes to children's artwork because the artist is able to transfer an image onto a clear glass vase to immortalize it forever. The process involves making a copy of the image before transferring it via a complex process to a glass vase.
Once the image has been transferred to the vase, Gaynor fires the vase to finish the curing process, which makes it impervious to washing and general wear. With Mother's Day just around the corner, I can see how a custom vase by Gaynor would make a wonderful sentiment for a great mom.
Based out of Los Angeles, Gaynor makes all the orders by hand and ships them to the desired locale.

Lacrosse is a relatively unheard of sport in the state of Tennessee, let alone in Cleveland.
The sport's lack of popularity in the area wasn't a factor for Cleveland's own Raygan Hall, who is a senior at the Girls Preparatory School.
Hall, who has been at GPS since eighth grade, wound up getting involved in the girls' lacrosse team during her sophomore year after accepting that basketball just wasn't her sport.
"I have only been playing since my sophomore year. I played basketball, but I can now admit that I wasn't very good. A bunch of my friends played, and they needed a JV goalie so I decided to go out and try it," Raygan explained. "At first they had me in the field playing defense. Then they needed a goalie for a game, my coach took a few shots at me and told me that I was going to be playing in goal for that game. I really started to get the hang of it, played on the JV team, and then towards the end of that season I started playing varsity."
Despite having very limited knowledge of the sport, Hall's parents were supportive of their daughter's choice to play lacrosse.
"We knew absolutely nothing about it, except that it is supposedly the oldest sport in the U.S. Today, almost three years later we only know maybe 50 percent more than we originally knew," Raygan's father Brent explained. "The idea of your daughter facing shots at 60-70 mph with a solid rubber ball that is heavier than a baseball is a bit frightening for a parent."
The constantly changing atmosphere of the sport was one of the draws for Raygan.
"Lacrosse is the most fast-paced sport that I've ever seen. There is always something going on and someone hitting someone else," Raygan said.
As a goalie, 17-year-old Raygan is the last line of defense for her team. While some may consider that a stressful position, Hall has learned how to handle the pressure.
"At first, because I wasn't that confident in my ability; I always got really nervous before games. Now that I'm more comfortable with my stick skills and am better at handling the ball, I'm much more confident going in," Raygan explained. "Sure, I still get frustrated over some things, but my coach told me that you have to have the memory of a goldfish, and they can only remember things for three seconds. That really started resonating with me this year. If someone scores a goal I just let it go and focus on what is to come."
For the 15 games that she has played in this year, Raygan has 147 saves for a 50.9 save percentage.
In a game against fouth ranked Ensworth, Hall posted a game high 18 saves.
Nearly three years ago, the young goalie didn't even think that continuing on her lacrosse career was an option.
Now, a distant thought has become a definite reality.
Making a commitment to the sport has paid dividends for Hall, who recently signed with Gardner-Webb University, a NCAA Division I school in Boiling Springs, N.C.
Hall will be a part of the inaugural season for the university, as their newly formed women's lacrosse team will begin playing in the 2014-2015 season in the Big South Conference.
"I'm really excited. At first I didn't ever think that I would be able to play at that level, but then I started looking at my options, and it became a real possibility. Towards second semester last year, I got really excited about it," Hall commented. "Three of my top four schools were Division I and all in the same conference. It was a hard decision. I had it narrowed down to Liberty University and Longwood University and Center College, which is a D-III school. Then I went to Gardner-Webb, and it blew the others out of the water."
To date, Raygan Hall is the first Bradley County resident to sign with a college to play lacrosse.
Currently, there are 34 girls lacrosse teams scattered throughout the state.
Out of those 34 teams, GPS is currently ranked eighth and is first in the Tennessee Central East region, according to laxpower.com, which is a website that oversees lacrosse action all over the country.
Hall credits God's divine plan with leading her to where she is today and credits lacrosse with helping developing her character.
"Lacrosse has shown me what my character is and things that I need to change about it. I've learned to control my temper, have good sportsmanship and be a good team player. You learn how to rely on others and to not want to take all the credit. The credit has to go to the whole team," Hall declared.
As her senior season has drawn closer to the end, Raygan has many happy memories to carry on with her.
"I have such a great group of girls on my team, so some of my favorite memories involve the things we've done like team bonding and bus rides. Also, this season we've beaten two teams that have never before been beaten in the history of GPS lacrosse, which are Harpeth Hall and Ravenwood. Both of those games were played at Sewanee, which must be good luck for us," Hall said.
In their final regular game of the season, GPS defeated the University School of Nashville 16-12 on Saturday. Hall had 12 saves in that game.
GPS will begin lacrosse playoffs next weekend, and Raygan hopes to help take her team all the way to the final four or championship game.
"Hutchison has won the state championship four years in a row and no one has beaten them this season. They are the toughest competition out there," Hall explained. "We've stayed pretty even with all the other teams. I think we have to potential to make the final four and even the championship game. I do want to win it all, but my realistic goal for this season is to make it to the final four."

I actually think this a very good script. It's a quick fast read... It's a strange sort of serial-killer-in-training buddy picture. Part John Waters, part Grindhouse, part MAY. This would be an excellent small indie film with the right director who knew how to make the tone work with it.
The hard part will be keeping the spec from getting tossed in the first 15 pages. I think you tone down the initial schlocky B-picture trappings and ease the reader/viewer into the whole serial-killer mentor thing slower, that would help things a lot. I'd like Harry to befriend Ned and get to know him a bit before he reveals what he does. Stan needs a little more depth - I know he's the villain but could he be something else? Maybe a neighbor guy Ned's mom fooled around with? He's just too one-dimensional of a gay rapist, as are his cronies. I know this is part schlock so I know you're going for that, but I think you can be more diabolical in the levels the characters display. Harry should be a slower reveal. You need to be more careful with the "we almost kill the tomboy girl" scene...maybe if you played that Harry has absolutely no intention of killing her but wants to see how far Ned will go it could be more of a nailbiting scene than a slapstick one.
Essentially...I think black comedy works in this, but I don't think the characters should *ever* know they're in a comedy. Ned shouldn't run around going "OH MY ANUS HOLE!" If you've seen MAY, you know what I mean. I don't want "Forrest Gump Becomes a Serial Killer". Can we be let in on *why* Ned is slow? If he is actually a "tard" like all the characters keep calling him, I don't buy how cold and slick he becomes at the end.
I think you could even extend the terror of Stan's death a bit. Maybe have Harry just hit them from behind like he's planning originally and chain them up in the living room to extend the torture-kill. They wake up and don't know what's going to happen. Ned argues that he just wants to end it, puts the gun in Stan's mouth, then the phone rings. That makes Selena Stan's first kill, then it can be much more disturbing at the end if he douses them alive with the lighter fluid and flicks his cigarette and walks out of the house.
Just suggestions. This is definitely not a mainstream movie - I hate to give you that review again, but this would definitely have genre fans if you make the characters at least *two* dimensional and adjust up some of the white-trash "yeeehaw I'm a rapist!" sort of scenes.
Reading notes below:
1-5 Like the narration so far. It's not indulgent since you don't start off with an entire page of it right off the bat, and it's punctuating what's onscreen.
Be careful that you make clear what at the beginning is a *bike* and what is a *motorcycle* I was confused a bit at first. It sounds like he's talking about how mom died when he was a kid, but I inferred that he's 35 although childlike. Can you make this explicitly clear, however it works? I'd drop the "present" "past" tags, and via the narration fake out the audience that this is a flashback by contrasting the motorcycle with the bicycle more clearly. Then when Mom gets run over you whip to Ned...and he's 35 in a surprise...this didn't happen long ago.
8. "I am bad." seems like the perfect place to stop the narration, although you said you were going to have it throughout. We'll see if it's necessary.
9. You could skip the VO before and pick up with "I used to think it was all Mother's fault"
12. Selena says "Stupid tard" after she hangs up, I don't know why he responds to it as if she said it to him. I don't know if you're going for stream of consciousness in what we're hearing. It almost seems the VO should say this. NED (VO): I'm not stupid. (He crushes the cockroach.)
13. I think you should drop the VO as he prepares to sell the house...it would be *much* more disturbing to let the audience piece together what's going on.
17 "Your house sucks" I think is a bit too blunt. Ned either needs to show Stan around a bit, perhaps with grand verbiage he might assume a realtor would say, culminating in "What do you think?" "It sucks." ... or just have Stan react more patronizingly since he knows Ned is "special".
You've used "cackles" twice too close to each other.
18 Too awkward "flies buzz around like it's laden with corpses" - suspense wise I don't want you to specify "corpses". "Flies buzz like it's a butcher shop with broken A/C." or something.
You *definitely* should cut the VO here. I know exactly what he's thinking and don't need to hear him loop it. Perhaps pick moments of ripe comedy or when he's alone. If a scene is happening where he's talking to someone else, I don't want the VO.
19 Too much "retard fucking". Cut the first one at the top "You better have something to wipe off my shoe" then "What are you nuts?" and then I think you earn "You are a retarded fucking nut job". He shouldn't declare it until just here, even if he's not a nice character - give Stan some tact so we see how he changes after seeing inside Ned's place...
20. And...you lose me here. I know you're going for total scum of society, but his dialogue "Your ass is mine Neddy boy" doesn't work. Why does he become suddenly gay when his toupee comes off?
If you seriously want a rape scene, I'd try justifying it as "You just tried to kill me. I'm calling the cops...and you're going to retard jail for the rest of your life...unless...."
If you *really* want to continue your VO, skip it until they're mid-coitus then start with "I remember when I was seven..." as a distancing gambit.
If you're going to have a rape scene, you need to clearly draw the line if you want John Waters sort of "yeehaw white trash!" or something disturbing and serious even if blackly humorous. I almost think it's creepier if he convinces Ned to do this to keep him quiet about trying to kill him and controls him verbally rather than beating him up.
21 And he cackles again. Quit that!
We've made a turn into exploitation...we'll see how this turns out.
You've had a brutal rape, followed by one stereotypical line "That's what I'm talking about girlfriend" then they savage Ned too. Here is where people will walk out of the movie.
I notice the guy gays "hoot and giggle" rather than cackle. I'm giving this perhaps five more pages to stop insulting my intelligence.
28. Okay, the kindly paternal serial killer. Still on thin ice but *potential* to come back. Could you skip the stereotypical queens and just have Harry just be the first potential gay victim who turns out to be more than he bargained for and see potential in Ned?
Then Ill choke the life out of
her. Watch the bitchs eyeballs
roll back in her head and her
tongue bulge out all purple...
This will require some very delicate handling. It's so offensive.
35. Could you perhaps hold off that Harry's a killer right off the bat? Maybe not until he sees Ned's potential for a serial-killer lair does he level with him and let him know what he's about. Perhaps he can just be the first person to be nice to Ned?
38. I'd prefer "All you all right? You sound sick" "I'm not sick, but I'm all right."
42. "Maybe we better start with something that requires less finesse. Like guns."
I'd redline the VO in the middle of the page. You don't need it here.
50. Two montages . Could you possibly just run one into the other? Ned and Harry have fun shooting, then it moves onto him teaching how to ride a bike paternally?
53. like/with simile - pick one or combine. "The store is brightly lit as a hospital morgue" or "the store has the ambiance of a hospital morgue".
I see how the Asian Clerk's line can be funny but you need to give him a little more to land it. "Naw, it's slow. Seriously, boring as hell tonight. Why should it be any different than any other ?..."
I seriously like the madcap...itude (?) of this scene.
59. If you don't use "anus hole" previous to this, this line is actually funny.
I like that you bring back the VO here, but like with the Asian Clerk, the line is too short to land and bookend the scene. "I don't know if you'll believe me, but this was the first fun day I've ever had. Oh wait. Except for that one time Mom got ran over by the car. That was fun too."
60. "We're out of money." "Mulgh go kuph muh fuhftuh." "What?" "Let's go kill my sister." (Classic.)
61. (Shows drawings) "All right Ned. That's a good plan. Maybe we...just need to fill in some of the details."
62. Don't think Selena should be angry when she picks up the phone. She's a princess, she probably would hope to have gentlemen callers. She should be a princess till she hears it's Ned. I love that she's in the exact same place we last saw her.
64. EXCELLENT callback, telling her he's selling the house, just as I've forgotten about how this all started.
64 I love "one hundred...two hundred...THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS." Could it go farther with Harry writing in crayon on the plan more and more zeros: "Three THOUS...THIRTY thousan...THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS."
Then, after he shouts $300,000 into the phone it should stay on Ned and Harry and there's a long pause while they listen. He hangs up sheepishly. Harry shakes his head. "She's flying down tomorrow" (spit take).
67. I like that you resisted a "cleaning the house montage" but it almost seems appropriate.
69. Great use of VO here during shaving. That's the right place for it.
70. I'd almost prefer you don't foreshadow that it's going to be Stan at the door and let your act 3 twist be a shock instead.
72. Find another word besides "cackle".
Alternate choice possibility - Instead of "Fuck you Stan" (nut shot) could he just either go all serial killer here and just say it kind of dead and cold? Maybe instead he could say "Actually. Stan. I've been waiting for you. I've been waiting for you this whole time."
73 "Male model" is great, but don't underline it by having the cop crack up. That's a good enough line that the audience will laugh so you don't need to have him do it.
74. Don't think he should say "No! I'll bite it off..." just let him keep his teeth clenched as they try to pry them apart.
75. I'd stay with Selena on the highway, it's not worth the intercut just for the attackers to "wince".
76. Don't know if you could work it, but it would be better if Harry rushing in is a surprise. I like how you intercut between him almost getting arrested, could you just have the male model line as he asks for his id and then leave the scene there indeterminate if he will get back to rescue Ned?
Why does Stan's knife slide from his pocket and clatter to the floor?
Make it clear when it happens that Stan's foot is pegged to the floor. Why is Harry hopping?
78. Love the idea that she's near the mannequin factory. You could almost cut right out of the scene on that line "Does your friend know it?" *Possibly* add in the "Tard" but let the audience fill in the reaction.
82. Could you have something more bizarre than having her hog-tied? Perhaps duct taped into a chair in a line with several other variously decapitated mannequins, or having a tea party with them or something?
83. Harsh.
86, Good entrance of VO again, it works best when Ned is alone, not during an opposing dialogue scene.
I'd either drop "Such an asshole..." or make it "He was an asshole, but I'd never forget him, that's for sure."
88. Just an idea - can you (somehow hopefully without calling a camera shot) have Ned standing spread-legged in front of Stan's corpse, then we see a stream like he's pissing on him, but when the camera whirls he's holding the bottle and it's lighter fluid?
90. Not sure if the last line works. It almost feels like you need another folksy VO that starts to make you think it's going to "And that's how I became a man...(roll credits)" but instead it's ends something like, "Your legs around a harley, a girl's legs around you, and nothing but open road. It was all anyone should ever need. It was all I never needed (and they fade off down the shimmering road) But even though I changed, things never change. I still want to kill. I want to kill. I want to kill." Or something better than that. As written it's a bit goofy but it almost needs the switcheroo tone you've maintained through the script.

A review of Prayer of the Headless Mantis (iii)by Jayberwock on 09/03/2011I remember reviewing an earlier draft of this. You've got an interesting conceit - a thriller set during dinner with two couples. WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF meets DEATHTRAP and FUNNY GAMES. I believe the way you've structured your plot - which is the most important thing in this type of movie - is a bit clunky. Eliana meets Theo. She's out to fuck Theo. He's described... read
A review of Croakby Jayberwock on 03/28/2011CROAK is a comedic re-imagining of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. Previous horror movies have shown that horror and gore plus sketch comedy can work (see SLITHER), however horror-comedy always walks a very fine line choosing where to make the audience scream and where to make them laugh. This screenplay goes most of the way along the spoof route -- I can see this type... read
A review of Brotherhoodby Jayberwock on 07/11/2010Woo. What a strange little story. A teacher essentially kidnaps a bookish quiet boy and a cheerleader and takes them to a hotel with designs on getting the kid laid. The teacher gets drunk and the boy ends up going to a party, running over the teacher in a truck, and the cheerleader's boyfriend attempts to drown himself. The action and dialogue are way overwritten. You... read

20 shortlisted entries have been selected in a competition to reimagine London's Royal Docks. The competition, hosted by the Landscape Institute and sustainable design event Ecobuild, challenged entrants to transform the area into a multifunctional liveable space using 'water sensitive' ideas. The shortlisted submissions were selected from 65 proposals designed by qualified architects and students.
Speaking about the shortlist Sue Illman, President of the Landscape Institute said: "It's time we started to see water as a valuable resource - rather than something to be hidden away underground. Recent events in Somerset and elsewhere in the country have demonstrated that the UK desperately needs a fully integrated approach to flooding, water supply and land use management. The designs on the shortlist show what is possible if we adopt a mixed green, grey and blue infrastructure approach."
The shortlisted submissions will be exhibited during Ecobuild (4-6 March at the Excel Centre, London) with a winner selected on Wednesday 5 March.

For the second season, the French fashion house rose above with footwear by Robert Clergerie. And now that newish ready-to-wear designer Geraldo da Conceicao has found his stride reinterpreting the Left Bank Rykielian codes, footwear also followed suit. Python and patent flatforms balanced louche knitwear and voluminous fur toppers. With thick crisscross strapping and a slingback, these sandals had a transitional élan that felt right for the times and fit for the daily dash. After all, the Rykiel brand was built on the notion of female liberation without sacrificing style — or height, for that matter.

"I went through multiple companies before deciding on this card design for our holiday card/birth announcement. It ended up being less expensive than the other options I looked into and I liked the overall design better as well. The service was great as well- our cards arrived a little earlier than expected and in perfect condition due to great packaging. Overall, great product and service!"
"The matte cards are nice and thick. The photo was printed beautifully on the matte card stock. The design is nice and clean and simple. Loved this."
"We used these announcements as our annual Christmas card this year and they are absolutely beautiful. We printed them on the white shimmer card stock and it gave them the special added touch we were looking for. The quality was impeccable and they were printed and shipped within days of placing our order. We couldn't be happier!"
"We love how we can play with this format and add our own details, font and pictures. So happy with the quality and customer service was so helpful."
"So sweet! Announcements turned out beautifully. The colors in person are even better than on screen. Very sweet and simple. We used the "vintage" effect offered on our photo and it seemed to enhance the style of the whole announcement. Also shipping arrived faster than on conf receipt! Whole experience was five stars!"

BIBS Innovation Fund
APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 15, 2014
The Brown Institute for Brain Science (BIBS) is announcing a new "BIBS Innovation Fund". The goal of this fund is to help brain scientists launch new, highly creative research projects with great potential that are too risky and early stage for NIH or other external funding sources. BIBS will make significant investments of up to $100K for one year to support ideas that, if successful, would have high scientific impact and generate new external funding. An interim review during the first year must demonstrate progress towards the research goals in order to continue funding for the entire year. However, if specific milestones, agreed to at the time of the award, are met, a second year of funding may be available on a competitive basis. BIBS hopes to fund one or two projects by July 1, 2014, and another one or two in AY 2014-15 as funds allow.
Eligibility –The BIBS Innovation Fund is open to all faculty members who are brain scientists at Brown and its affiliated hospitals. Any basic or translational research that is within the BIBS mission is eligible for support. However, strictly clinical research is not eligible. Collaborative interdisciplinary projects with more than one Principle Investigator (PI) are encouraged but not required. Restrictions include:
- Individuals may not submit more than one application to the BIBS Innovation Fund at a time.
- Individuals who have an Innovation Fund award are not eligible to apply for a second.
Award terms – The maximum allocation for each grant from the BIBS Innovation Fund will be $100K. Awards are for one year but may be renewable for a second year on a competitive basis.
Budget – The BIBS Innovation Fund may be used for expenditures required to complete the proposed project. It is not designed to be an equipment grant but equipment purchases will be allowed, if well justified and essential for the project to succeed. Typical allowable expenses include:
- Salaries for students, postdocs and/or research support personnel
- Supplies
- Reagents
- Core facility user fees
Funds cannot be used for:
- Faculty salaries
- Travel to scientific meetings
- Publication costs
- Invited speakers
- Entertainment
- Indirect costs
Application process – An application must include the following:
- Cover letter – Include a letter signed by the PI, or co-PIs, containing the title of the proposed project and a brief explanation of how it meets the goals of the BIBS Innovation Fund.
- Biographical sketches - NIH or NSF style biosketches are required for the PI or co-PIs only.
- Research proposal – This section should be limited to 3 pages, including figures and tables, and it must include:
- A one page NIH-like Specific Aims, with a very brief background section that supports the rationale and potential impact of the project;
- A description of the experimental approach and plan for the year;
- A separate section called 'Innovation' that includes an explanation of how this funding could have a transformational impact on the lab's research program and on Brain Science (broadly defined).
Note – References are not part of the 3-page limit but the list should be short; not exhaustive. You may point to .pdfs of key publications (e.g. on your website) as supporting material, but the proposal should not depend on this information.
- Anticipated progress – On a separate page outline specific goals (as a bullet list or narrative) that you expect to reach within the first 6 months and the full 12 months of the grant period. If your application is approved for funding, these milestones will be discussed with BIBS leadership and possibly modified, considering feedback from reviewers. Milestones/goals will be used as a basis for measuring progress for continuing funding at 6 months and in considering a possible second year of support. Limit this to 1 page.
- Budget – Indicate the amount requested and how it will be allocated, using the eligible categories listed above. Provide a very brief justification for personnel and equipment (above $10K) and for other categories that exceed $15K, especially where the links between the project and the budget item are not readily apparent.
- Documentation of appropriate IACUC or IRB approval should not be included with the application but it will be required before any research can begin.
Application deadlines – The first application deadline is April 15, 2014 (anticipated start by July 1, 2014). Applications should be submitted electronically in .pdf format to email@example.com. Please enter "BIBS Innovation Fund" in the subject line.
Evaluation Criteria – Applications that meet the requirements described above will be evaluated based on:
- The innovative nature and transformational potential of the project;
- The chances that the stated milestone/goals for the project can be accomplished in 12 months;
- The likelihood that the project will become competitive for extramural funding within 2 years.
Review Process – A committee of 3-5 qualified researchers appointed by BIBS will review the applications. At least one will be a member of the BIBS Executive Committee and an effort will be made to recruit at least two from outside Brown. This committee will rate the proposals based on the evaluation criteria and make recommendations about funding to the leadership of BIBS. If the review committee cannot reach consensus, or if the BIBS leadership does not agree with the recommendations, input will be solicited from the BIBS Executive Committee.
6-month Review – A short report will be required at 6-months comparing the progress of the project to the milestones/goals agreed to at the time of the award. That report will be reviewed by BIBS leadership and at least two members of the review committee. If progress appears to be short of expectations, concerns will be discussed with the PI (or co-PIs) and with the BIBS Executive Committee. BIBS reserves the right to terminate the grant at that time, if that is the recommendation the BIBS Executive Committee. The purpose of this review is to help ensure that the limited funds available are used as effectively as possible.
Note – One or more information sessions will be scheduled prior to April 1 so that potential applicants will have the opportunity to discuss the program with BIBS leadership. Questions should be addressed to John Davenport (email@example.com) or John Robson (email@example.com).

I stand alone in the rain
feeling the droplets hit my face.
I can't tell if I am crying anymore,
I can feel the embrace of my love.
I am the one who is suppose to
protect her, yet she is my sheath.
My life has been like a drawn sword
and she came along and sheath it.
She became my protector and healer,
I loved her with my heart and supported her.
I could not protect her from the horrors
that this world had shown me.
Yet we never left each other and protected
each other. Healed each other.
Even loved each other.
I asked her to marry me and she agreed.
I thought I could protect her forever,
yet Death threw it's joker and she died.
I couldn't protect her and in my arms
she said, "My life was empty till I met you,
I was so happy to have fallen in love with you. I'll always
be with you, my love". It was raining then.
At her grave, I laid flowers and spoke to her.
I wore her wedding ring around my neck.
The pain became dull and I remembered.
We had protected, healed and loved.
I spoke, "I always love you and will never
forget what you did for me."
It began to raining again as I stood there.
this is my entry for the POTM ^.^

City To Be Unchanged?
Early Team News
Coventry City manager Steven Pressley does not have any injury worries and can select his team to face Gillingham this afternoon from a full squad.
The City boss could name the same players who featured in the 2-0 win over Colchester United last Sunday.
Gillingham have Charlie Lee suspended after being sent off in the defeat at Crawley but have Michael Harriman available.
Former Coventry City striker Cody McDonald is also expected to be in Martin Allen's squad after missing the defeat due to illness.

With the help of Christopher Crawford of MLB Draft Insider, we have compiled the minor league assignments for all prospects in Keith Law's organizational top 10 rankings.
Due to injuries and late assignments, some minor league rosters are not yet official. In those instances, we took our best guess as to where those prospects will be assigned to begin the year.

By the standards of their own recent history, the Royals had a very successful season. The team won 86 games, their best record since 1989, and they outscored their opponents on a season for the first time since 1991. Their two biggest offseason acquisitions, Ervin Santana (in a dump trade with the Angels) and James Shields (in the Wil Myers trade with Tampa Bay), both pitched very well for the big club, helping the Royals allow the fewest runs of any team in the American League, 23 fewer than the division-winning Tigers. Some young players took strides: Eric Hosmer hit .317/.365/.492 after the team fired hitting coach Jack Maloof; catcher Salvador Perez had his first full, healthy season in the majors and performed well.
There were plenty of positives for the Royals, but because the season went well, some of the structural reasons that helped the team get to this point will now work against the team.

It's worth a reminder that strong depth at one position is a good way to fill holes via trades. Anybody saying too much talent at one position doesn't matter because you can't play three shortstops is clueless from a business and personnel standpoint. As a note: outfield and pitching have been consolidated because of how we calculate value at those positions.
The Yankees have more prospect depth at the catcher position than any other team, with Gary Sanchez a potential star if he can improve his receiving enough to remain at the position, while J.R. Murphy is emerging as at least a strong backup. Austin Romine should be getting regular playing time in the majors down the stretch, at least once the Yankees decide their playoff odds are too low to ... well, playing Chris Stewart isn't exactly pushing them toward the playoffs anyway, so why not just play Romine and see what you've got?
That said, the Pirates probably have more present value than the Yankees because of Russell Martin, with Tony Sanchez probably a solid major league backup and 18-year-old Reese McGuire among the game's top dozen or so catching prospects. There is so little catching in full-season minor leagues right now that you would be hard-pressed to identify 10 clear everyday starters without reaching down to short-season leagues.

For the purposes of this exercise, some parameters to keep in mind:
1. I'm only including draft picks who've signed.
2. I'm going to assume players in the majors right now are going to lose their rookie eligibility and won't count for the next org rankings I do in the winter. (This matters because graduating prospects will hurt a system as much as a lack of performance.)
With that noted, let's take a look.
Rising systems
Minnesota Twins | Preseason rank: 2
The Twins have benefited from big jumps by several of their top prospects, balancing out the promotions of their No. 3, 4, and 5 prospects to the majors this year.

Lineups built to win the game would look like All-Star lineups but would move some players around to different positions to try to build the strongest team possible, while also avoiding those hot-start players who aren't the best choices at their respective positions.
Here are the lineups, including one starter and one reliever per team, that I'd set up to give each league the best chance to win one game.

Setting expectations for recent call-ups
Teams that like to delay promoting top prospects until the point in the year when it's late enough to avoid giving the player a shot at Super 2 status in arbitration can breathe easily now, as we're well past that date, as shown by recent and imminent call-ups of four prospects -- Wil Myers, Zack Wheeler, Mike Zunino and Gerrit Cole -- who appeared on my top 25 update in late May.
With Myers and Wheeler debuting Tuesday night, here are my thoughts on those four guys as well as three others we might see in the majors in the next month or so.
Zack Wheeler, RHP | New York Mets
Although expectations have been set sky-high by the remarkable stuff shown by Matt Harvey, Wheeler, once the superior prospect in my opinion, has a decent gap to close just to catch up to his fellow Met.
