7 Strategies To Protect Customer Identities In A Work-at-Home Environment
by Marc Robinson on Jul 24, 9:19 AM
Landing a job in today's tough economic times is difficult. People often must commute many miles because their local community has limited opportunities. With this in mind, more and more customer care call centers are initiating opportunities for agents to work from home. Rather than driving a long distance to sit at a desk, agents now have the luxury of doing their jobs and providing customer care from the comfort of their own home.

ST. LOUIS — Willie Cauley-Stein has never hid from criticism or overestimated his own worth. Yet in a few weeks, he'll have to make the biggest decision of his life — and one that will be much harder than picking UK over home state Kansas State two years ago. He'll have to decide whether to leave UK for the NBA or return to Kentucky for his junior season.
"I am not even really thinking about that. I am just focused on our team. I have never won a championship and I want to make a run to the Final Four," Cauley-Stein said.
Does he enjoy UK?
"College? Yeah, it is fun. You meet a lot of people and college ball is fun. It's not a big thing on my mind to leave, you know what I am saying. If the opportunity presents itself, then why wouldn't you go. But if not, I am cool with staying a year or two here," he said.
"I don't really even know what I enjoy the most. You just have like security. Like if you leave, you are on your own. Know what I am saying? In college, you have a whole coaching staff that is kind of like your dad and they are family just like your family. You don't feel alone like you would if you left and you started to having to pay for yourself. It's not like you have a meal plan. You have to start paying bills and stuff. That's a lot to think about when you 20 years old. So why not stay in school?"

PCMark is a multipurpose benchmark, suited for benchmarking all kinds of PCs, from laptops to workstations, as well as across multiple Windows operating systems. This easy-to-use benchmark makes professional strength benchmarking software available even to novice users. PCMark consists of a series of tests that represent common tasks in home and office programs. PCMark also covers many additional areas outside the scope of other MadOnion.com benchmarks.
The trend is really set by now and continues to be consistent, P965 vs. P35 yields no real difference, DDR-3 at 1066MHz at 7-7-7-21 continues to get beat by DDR-2 at 5-5-5-15 but DDR-3 at 7-5-5-10 manages to be the fastest out of the three setups. The increased FSB and memory speed again shows us roughly a 10% gain in performance.

AHMEDABAD: Kokila Motpia could only hear the commentary when Virender Sehwag was scoring his record-breaking 219 against the West Indies at Indore.
The 16-year-old girl is blind with just 20 per cent vision in her eyes. So, she depended on her well-tuned ears and cheered every time she heard the ball crash into her icon's broad blade. Sehwag's blinder inspired her to set a record of her own that will be difficult to break.
On December 14, a week after Viru's wonder knock, Kokila hit a monstrous 215 runs off 65 balls with 42 fours against Palanpur in the semifinal of the blind girl's tournament in Surendranagar as part of the state government Khel Mahakumbh. The opening bat single-handedly took her team to the final.

Alexander Wang Fall 2010: Wall Street, Wang-Style
>> Despite the vast concrete-floored warehouse space waiting inside Pier 94 to house Alexander Wang's guests, they all had to pass through a single set of double doors at the entrance yesterday, causing quite the crush, particularly because a burly security guard took up a large part of the entryway, allowing VIPs like Dasha Zhukova and Fabien Baron pass on his right, while everyone else had to go to his left.
The crowd buzzed with excitement; after all, Wang has come a long way in a few short seasons — to the point that a major magazine's accessories editor had to ask stylists to stop using one of his shoes, the lace-up sandal boot from Spring 2010, which had become ubiquitous, in all of their shoots.
Tavi Gavinson emerged from backstage, Fashion Television camera crew in tow, and took to laughing with and interviewing Lauren Santo Domingo, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, and Derek Blasberg. She took her front row seat, and the stadium-style lights went down and then up, revealing opener (and closer) Natalia Vodianova, hair shellacked over one eye, as she walked along the long black background, giving the audience a prolonged view in profile, before turning to give them a closer look.
Wang, like fellow young designer Jason Wu, felt the need for a turning point in his brand this season, hence a focus on a more tailored silhouette in the form of deconstructed pinstripe suits: Wall Street, Wang-style. But there was also a strong element of late-'90s goth: the models wore black backpacks with fluttery floor-length tails, 5-inch high chunky-heeled mid-calf boots in velvet or brown with burnished yellow toes (which they had trouble turning in), pleated mini-skirts with tuxedo tails in back, and mid-thigh leggings which belled out over their shoes. There was even some chenille and a black leather trench thrown into the mix.
Big on collaborations, Wang worked with stylist Karl Templer and Linda Farrow sunglasses each for the second time, the latter producing bug-eyed shades worn over the models' hair, and Gaia Repossi for jewelry. In addition to Natalia, Freja Beha Erichsen and Snejana Onopka made their runway debut for the week; Agyness Deyn and Jessica Miller, ready for a comeback, also took a turn. The designer's CFDA-appointed mentor Diane von Furstenberg was front row, smiling during the finale, along with her CEO Paula Sutter, whose appearance raised a few questions about investment potential (DVF has a stake in Nathan Jensen's line).
Wang decided to forgo an after-party this season after last season's gas station-set rager, but fret not; last night, he told WWD with a grin: "We're planning something big for September."

I worked at NonStop Recruitment full-time (less than a year)
ProsTraining, People, Career Progression, Company Culture, rewarding
ConsAway from family, lots of pressure
Advice to ManagementAdviceAfter working at NonStop the training I received I can say that this as not only enhanced my working knowledge of how the recruitment cycle works but also my social skills. The first week I was unsure what to make of the training and thought I knew quite a lot already but I was clearly wrong. I learnt more in the first 6 weeks about recruitment than I had in the previous 18 months. Furthermore I then had the daunting task of learning about the Software Development Life Cycle which I must admit had me petrified. However this was invaluable as it gave me a 100% more understanding of the IT market than 8 months did whilst I was working in the same market in Sydney. This also made me feel much more natural on the phone to candidates. The fact that it took me 7 months to get my first placement in Australia and a little less than 7 weeks at NonStop is a testament to the training that you provided.

Bittersweet moment for us all! We're losing a JB, but you're moving on to things better for you. I wish you the best of luck. Now you're more like a guardian angel, watching over us without us knowing. No worries:) (and I really mean that last phrase)
The Head of Security for the Movement to Free Oompa Loompa Land from the Tyrannical Capitalistic Despot Willy Wonka
Despite you and other people never seeing eye, I've allways admired your courage to say things with thoughts to back it up even though you got some critism for it.
We never really talked, but you've always been a presense here sense I arrived, and its going to be wierd without you. Good luck with all your further journeys, and thanks for all the fun. (even if I was merely an observer.)
My official statement on departures is that they're all very Corinthians 1 (13:11), in an amusing trendy nomadic cyberspace kind of way.
Other than that, I am fittingly without words. Save perhaps, that while you won't here be making yours, you will be somewhere making them. And that is important.
I have also started a writing project elsewhere in this web.
And it occurs to me that I kind of feel like I've been cheating on this partner that I've had since I was seventeen. Writing elsewhere as adultery. Oasis as wife, Livejournal as mistress. And I stay here because I love my wife, matrimonial loyalty, a community that I made a strange sort of home when I needed that. And I write there because the other woman gives me different things.
My tangent. Because you wanted one.

Very fitting and true.

Wait! *pulls you back* No 2 week notice, no replacement.....? How will Oasis evolve....... :S
when u stop in for Tea it better be at the diner. Have a good one, buddy.
Dreaming of the Blue Hawaiian Diner...
So I sat here and thought of many things that I could say to you my dear JB, none seemed fitting. Simplicity is the key here I do believe. Goodbye for now. :-)
I only hope Oasis will be able to withstand the loss and still be as respectable as it is now.
p.s Can't tell you how much I love Frank Sinatra

Following on from the phenomenal success of NECRONOMICON comes ELDRITCH TALES. Howard Phillips Lovecraft died at the age of 47, but in his short life he turned out dozens of stories which changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts, and the strangely compelling town of Innsmouth, all of which feature within these pages. This collection gathers together the rest of Lovecraft's rarely seen but extraordinary short fiction, including the whole of the long-out-of-print collection FUNGI FROM YOGGOTH. Many of these stories have never been available in the UK! Stephen Jones, one of the world's foremost editors of dark fiction, will complete the Lovecraft story in his extensive afterword, and award-winning artist Les Edwards will provide numerous illustrations for this must-have companion volume to NECRONOMICON.

Your description makes me feel like I am there. My best vacation ever was a cabin in the woods all by myself. Can't go there anymore either, it don't exist anymore. |

Everything changes, nothing stays the same. Dang it. Steve in Stevens County. |
Steve; you nailed it---why do memories become brighter and sweeter than reality? Maybe we forget that times past really WERE that sweet. Anne, I'm sorry your cabin is gone--I know it was a special place for you--- |
From my childhood, I have a place that I visit in my mind. I tried to look it up online, and found it on street view via Google. And I even looked around the neighborhood. It looked desolate. Not warm and loving. How did it get so bad? I wondered. But, like Steve said, things change. It likely is just different. Not to mention, it's hard to feel the warmth of the carpet, sitting in front of the fire place in a two dimensional image. Don't go back. It will never be the same. Visit in the warm glow of memories instead. |
Robin, interesting you use the word 'desolate' in describing your special place of long ago. Like you said, "How did it get so bad?" Ever since I moved from the little house I raised my children in, I've driven around the loop hundreds of times over the years, just to check on it. It was such a sweet lttle home with an acre for a yard and all the neighbour kids could be found there! |

Even though my cabin don't exist anymore, I can't really gripe about it. It was dismantled and the little glade is now woods again, could not be better. |
Anne, wouldn't it be a treat if sometime you went back and there were beautiful Ladyslippers growing there? Or Bleeding Hearts? :o) |
My special place to visit in my mind is anywhere I've been in the mountains, mainly the Rockies. I can close my eyes and imagine those snow-covered peaks and dream myself there, if I try hard enough. |

I agree with Steve about everything changes. It takes awhile,sometimes a long while, to accept the changes. My childhood home in Norway has changed dramatically. Where we used to roam free, there are gates to every entrance. Where my girl friend used to live in a section of old town, wooden houses with nooks and crannies where several generations lived together, has changed into high rises, where people are "housed" rather than living. |
Sometimes nothing changes.When I went back to Oklahoma for my 40th high school reunion 10 years ago,it was the first time I had been back to this town of 10,000. Nothing at all had changed. The fairground fence on Mainstreet was still painted the same color,the Rexall drugstore sign was the same,all the downtown buildings were the same..no new ones,no old ones torn down. I drove to our old house and everything was the same,including the front door which was still the same color my mother had painted it all those years ago.I drove by the drive in where we would all go for our cherry cokes and fries knowing for sure that would be gone. Well,in a way it was but now there was a Sonic there so still a drive in. It was just a very strange feeling driving down Main street because I expected not to recognize it and it was like stepping back into time. |
Gosh, Marda---that must've seemed so surreal! I sure hope you took some pictues, just so you'll know you didn't dream it. It's hard to imagine the whole town just staying the same----did everything seem smaller West; that old picture of Norway you talked about mwheel, I do the same thing you do, concerning our love of mountains----although I've never seen the Rockies---they must be magnificent to explore and smell and to see new vistas with each summit you travel over. Were you raised near the Rockies?----I was only asking because WVa mtns are sure older and worn down! One thing's for sure, you're usually going UP or DOWN in many parts of WVa! |
Desolte best described the way I felt, bereft of any childhood coziness. Mom and Dad spent time in Colorado. Mom only says it was cold! I imagine what you do Kathy, majestic awesome to behold moutains. The tallest I've been in are the Sierra Nevadas and the Cherokee National Forest. Neither actually compares in size. And their flavor is different, I imagine. Cherokee is imposing, to be sure, but much smaller than the Rockies; a third of the size, I think. The Yosemite valley is full of domes made of granite. It's very round! Unless they shear straight down the middle and you get a very famous half dome. Tell us m! What's it like in person? |

Mountains mean different things to different people. |
We always take our memories with us when we leave a place. For me my beautiful mountains of Virginia will reach out her arms to welcome me home each and every time I go there. Sure there are more houses scattered along the way but I surely hope that the old pear tree still stands where the front yard used to be and the apple trees to the right of the old farm house long gone now. No change can take away There is no doubt that one morning when I |
I'm a "D.C. native", so was an adult (35!) before I got my first glimpse of the Rockies. We were driving to MT to visit DH's father and when I saw those magnificent, snow-covered--in July--mountains rise out of the horizon, I actually got tears in my eyes. Over the years we managed to spend a little time in Glacier National Park, the Tetons, Yellowstone, and best of all for me, Banff in Canada. But I love all mountains; WV's may be less imposing, but they're still beautiful and *call* to me. So, mountains aren't a childhood memory for me, but if I had my "druthers", they'd definitely be my first choice of places to remember -- or visit. BTW, this thread has been fun to read. Thanks, everyone, for sharing. |
Where I lived as a child no longer exists as a farm. The house moved to town, the out buildings torn down, the wells filled in and the trees all felled. Its difficult looking at that large field of milo to bring back any memories of so long ago. I understand that todays farmer couldn't begin to make a living on the approimately 200+ acres dad farmed but it kind of hurts to see all the familiar landmarks gone. I was going to post a memory of an escape artist cow and a little girl who"s name had to be Elizabeth although I never heartd her called that. But after this thread re: memories etc. it can wait. Oh yes, the cow"s name was Beth but it was originally called Bess. Elizabeth had a slight lisp. |

The changes in Norway did not shock me at all. But it takes a while to get used to the changes.I keep in touch via the net and my relatives keeps me informed about the changes. For example, when the Vietnam war ended, Norway offered sanctions to many Vietnamese families. The country reflects that population. There are new foods, shops and the educational scores are way up since the change. Some people are upset about the traditional Lutheran (state sanctioned)churches are occupied by "other religions". I'm not upset, but it does take some time to get used to the changes. |

I visit my old places by the sky too. From satellite images, I can see my parents' graves in the old cemetery up the road from our house. I can see the path my sister and I took to the river. I can see the place where we waited for the school bus, and our hiding spot in the woods where we hid from the bus when we didn't want to go to school. But I can also see the house I grew up in, and it's a shame to see what's been done to our old 40 acres. |

Water Cooler – The President Does the Right Thing on Deportation Enforcement
6:00 pm in Uncategorized by Bill Egnor
The FSM knows that the president does not always get it right, and often times it takes him way to long to do so, but he should get credit when he actually acts in a way that progressives can support. That is what he has done yesterday.
According to the Hill Newspaper:
Under the new rules announced Thursday, officials at the Department of Homeland Security will perform case-by-case reviews of those in line for deportation, weeding out violent criminals and other high-priority cases while closing the books on those considered no threat.
Since being unable to get the DREAM Act passed there has been a lot of pressure on the administration to use it's executive power to change the enforcement policies of ICE. The so-called Secure Communities initiative was supposed to focus on the criminal element in the informal immigration community.
The theory was that people who were committing serious crimes in addition to their undocumented status should be the first ones that were found and deported to their country of origin. It is actually a decent idea, spending the limited amount of money we have for this kind of enforcement on actual criminals who don't contribute to our society.
Of course the problem is that they are not as easy to find as say a undocumented immigrant without a license caught in a traffic stop. The Obama administration has been deporting more undocumented immigrants than the Bush administration every did, but they have not all been the hardened criminals like the Secure Communities program envisioned.
Changing the emphasis and closing the books on the cases of non-violent, non-criminal undocumented immigrants is the right thing to do. How can we tell? Because xenophobic Republicans are already howling to the moon about it, here is what the reprehensible Representative Peter King (R-NY) had to say about it:
"This new non-enforcement policy announced by the Obama Administration Thursday is a blatant attempt to grant amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens in this country."
Rep. King is the same fellow who spends a bunch of committee time looking for radicalized Muslims. But he is an equal opportunity hater, if you are brown he is pretty sure that you are out to ruin the United States.
In this case though, he is going to be about as affective as box full of mewling kittens. This is completely within the powers of the Executive branch to use its prosecutorial discretion to decide which cases it wants to take to court, be it civil or deportation court, and which it will give a pass to.

What do you think of this fixture for a bathroom?
I am wondering if anyone has this fixture or has seen this fixture? Do the "candle"/ glass parts look weird, fake? http://www.lightingdirect.com/hinkley-lighting-h5545-renaissance-five-light-35-75-wide-bathroom-fixture-from-the-casa-collection/p561428 |

I've been looking at so many that I'm not sure if I've seen that collection in person, but maybe this will make it easier for someone who is to identify it, and if I see it again, I'll make note of it. |

I thought it would be cool to document the building of my first Hosta bed amongst so many experts. By looking at all the beautiful picks and discussions on the board, I am really getting bitten. I spent the last couple of years concentrating on my Bermuda lawn and now that it's really nice, so I need to hit an area that is mostly shaded. -Approximately 350 sq. ft. -Gets sun for 2 1/2 to 3 hours (from 4/4:30 to 7pm) -Ground is relatively soft I feed my lawn predominately with Organics -Doing the first till this week to add amendments -Planned on starting with 23 Hosta that I can get in 1 Gallon Containers (I live about 30 miles from a town that bills itself as the "Nursery Capital of the World") Threw a pick of the area. I have a layout, but couldn't figure how to add multiple pics. I look forward to any tips or tricks as I go along. |

add more pics.. by replying to your own post... i just dont know if i would till it ... what are the trees surrounding??? tilling will cut every single tree root there.. causing the roots to make more roots... etc .. a vicious .. never ending cycle ... i regret tilling 14 years ago ... and i had what was supposed to be .. favorable trees ... and NEVER amend a planting hole.. else.. guess where the trees will grow new roots??? i would suggest just adding a good layer of compost across the whole bed.. and let the worms do the job ... lets see what others suggest ... TN may be the nursery capitol of the world.. but it isnt the hosta capital of the world ... so i might suggest... you leave plenty of space.. for mail ordering.. some of the more unique plants.. you see here in GW ... are you enabled yet.. lol .. i wish you luck ... ken |
Thanks Ken. The area is actually shaded by three huge trees. Not sure what they are as they were here when I built the house. This pick shows 1 of them. One is to the left of the plot (really huge), 1 is to the right of the driveway. I found 2 Hosta growers in that town that coins itself the Nursery Capital of the World and they seem to have a a pretty nice Hosta Selection (links attached) http://www.sunshinehollow.com/gardens/generated/hosta_list_alpha_bareroot_text.html http://www.marysgh.com/ Hosta's start on page 29 of the second link under retail. Of those 23 Hosta, I'm starting with 1 Krossa Regal, and 2 each of Sum&Substance, Sun Power, Gold Standard, Pauls Glory, Liberty, Halcyon, Orange Marmalade,Guacamole, Stained Glass, Patriot, June. Some back-ups, Sagae, Blue Angel, Francis Williams, August Moon, Fortunei A, Fried Genn Tomato, Fried Bananas, Earth Angel, Golden Tiara, Great Expectations. I'll add the layouts in a reply. |
Layout 2. Obviously the pics I pasted are bigger than 1 gallon, but now the wife agrees to me dropping $500 for this effort :) |

I've got some nice hostas from Mary's Greenhouse. You may want to post a close up pic of a leaf from that tree. I'm sure someone can ID it for you. |
I'd think twice about Great Expectations and Frances Williams. As we've discussed many times, they do best in zone 5. GE may not survive elsewhere. FW burns easily. The others you mention are workhorses and should do well for you. In zone 6, you may be cool enough to make them work, though. I hope so. They are both beautiful hosta. bk |
Thanks bkay (and TNChristine). There coming off my back-up list, great Info for a newbie. |
In my Zone 6, Great Expectations is growing fine. It is about 3 years old now. It is a slower grower--but healthy. I think you 'll find a lot of different opinions on GT. Kate |
- Posted by ThistleAndMaize Zone 5a- Eastern IA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 23, 14 at 15:19
I have to laugh at the burnt edge comments when I see it regarding Frances Williams. I have several FW, all in very shaded spots and one in a fair bit of sun. One in the shade is looking okay-ish. Two in the shade are burnt at the edges. And the one in the sun is big and perfect. Go figure! As for great expectations, I had one in the ground in a shaded spot and it was so pathetic I almost weeded it by accident one day. So I dug it out of the ground and put in a pot, like it was going to ICU. Now it's doing well in the pot in quite a bit of sun. Looking back, I would have made choices other than FW and GE, but to me now, as long as they're still alive, I'll just view it as a challenge to see if I can get them big and healthy. |
- Posted by HostaTakeover 6a swMO (My Page) on Wed, Jul 23, 14 at 20:18
My GE is also doing well ~ finally. Got it as a plug about 4 years ago and growth was glacial until earlier this year, when I dug it up, cleaned out all the tree roots and replanted it in the same hole along with a larger, box store GE. My little one just took off in a fantastic growth spurt after that and now looks happy for the first time. |
- Posted by sherrygirl none5 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 23, 14 at 20:31
Personally when designing the bed as a whole i would try to avoid any straight lines. Mother nature does not grow in straight lines. So, curved lines on the edges of the beds are always more pleasing to the eye. Sherry |
- Posted by hosta_freak z6 NC (My Page) on Thu, Jul 24, 14 at 12:59
People forget that Lakeside hostas originally came from Ooltewah Tennessee,and Mary Chastain grew some pretty good ones! Just my opinion. Phil |
Phil, So I assume the "Mary's" I'm going to visit is the one your noting? Anyway, off and running. I know someone mentioned probably not tilling, but I already had it rented, never used one, and just couldn't resist hurting myself. |

And away it gooeeeesss!!!! Damned beautiful property you have there. Have fun, please show us pics when you get it done... Cheers, |
WOW!! That's an estate . Building my new Hosta bed now too, but nowhere near what you are doing. That's going to be gorgeous when finished. Can't wait to see pics when it's done. |
Thanks for the nice comments Don and Jane. Prep is done and heading off to get the Hosta next Friday. Appreciate all's input to this point. I'll throw something up next week. Real excited after continuing to read the board and see such beautiful specimen that this forum throws up there. That's only second to your passions! |

Hi there TNJD! Oh boy, I cannot wait until you discover the pictures of the Hosta Liberty mass planted across the front of a home and everyone went gaga over it. Lovely plants too. I can tell from the care with which you keep your front shrubbery that you will obsess over hosta as well. And you look young enough to grow them to maturity, and wind up creating some of your own varieties. Hostas kind of grab you and don't let go, if you have read long on this forum. Have fun, hostas respond nicely to the kind of attention you like to give. PS. May I suggest you add a Liberty to your backups? Might as well do it now, I see many Liberty hosta in your future! |
Ah Moccasin, I do have that liberty in the initial list, but not sure about that statement that I'll be around for a while is valid. I think the flying dirt during that tilling masked my extremely gray hair :). I am feeling that obsession creeping on fast. Today while finishing up the bed I looked at my better half and said, "I wonder if we should add few more to our initial list.......... Since you are even much further south than me, I have read many of your posts while preparing for this venture. |
If Mary's Greenhouse is Mary Chastain, start scarfing up hosta. She ought to have some beauties. She retired a few years ago and "sold" her business. Rumor has it she never received any payment for the sale of Lakeside Hostas. If it's one and the same, you may be able to buy some original stock that doesn't come from tissue culture. bk |
Mary's Greenhouse is a different "Mary". I looked at the website. They sell a LOT of different kinds of plants there. Just a word of caution, be sure to have a chat with them regarding their practices to prevent selling hostas with HVX. Welcome to the forum! Soon you will be tearing up even more of that lawn! Hooray for hostas. -Babka |
I wish the Garden Web had a button for LIKE!!! This is going to be beautiful!! |
Well, didn't think I would have that much fun shopping as I hate to do it! Ready to put in the ground tomorrow, layout the micro-sprinkler system, and pine bark nugget it up. Went with the intention of picking up 23 and ended up getting 29. 1 Krossa Regal and 2 each Gold Standard, Sun Power, Sum& Substance, Paul's Glory, Liberty, Halcyon, Orange Marmalade, Guacamole, Stained Glass (looks good size in the pick), Patriot, June, Blue Angel, Loyalist, 2 Island Breeze. |
- Posted by Hostas_for_Barb 6b (My Page) on Fri, Aug 8, 14 at 14:38
Don't tell me - Krossa Regal is the one in the center with the huge scape. My collection is small but I have everything you have pictures except Loyalist and Isand Breeze. They are all beautiful and for me easy to grow, I also have the 'cuts', GE which I'm still not sure about and Francis Williams which is probably the biggest and most beautiful in my garden (little dessication burn but not enough to mar the beauty of the plant). Enjoy your planting. I'm sure it will be spectacular next year. |
That is the KR. Funny Barb, Island Stream and Loyalist weren't on my original list but Island Stream caught my, and the bosses, eye and loyalist as I liked the opposite look from the patriot. I believe it looks like Fire and Ice, but may get a little bigger. Didn't read a lot of glowing reviews on it here, but figure I'm going to lose some anyway and will have to try others (or add of course :)) GE and FW were on my back-up list, but one I can't get out of my mind from this morning is Summer Breeze. After looking at further pictures, I'll be thinking about that one for a while. John |
Oh John, you are in for a glorious ride. Your new hostas look great, and growing them is going to give you a lot of pleasure. I have almost all of your choices and I love them every one. And Summer Breeze is another favourite. - you won't regret adding it to your collection. You have all of the infrastructure to become a true addict lol! Hope we will hear from you often on the forum! Jan |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado 6a (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 3:33
Off to a great start, John. : ) Don B. |
Thanks Jan and Don. I think that addiction is started. Happened with my front lawn a couple of years ago and I seemed to have replaced my golf and beer addiction with that (well the golf anyway). Now, I plan on being on this site a lot continuing to learn from all you experts. Besides that, I couldn't leave as I would miss some of Ken's Tourettes postings (lol). |
Beer goes well with hostas. |
That's a terrific looking bunch of hostas! I have to confess that I lost Loyalist but my Orange Marmelade is rebounding with more sun. You won't regret getting Summer Breeze, if you do...does well even under my red maple. Happy hosta planting, TNJDM! |
Sorry for the redundant message. |

John, that looks so great!! Nice spacing, you lucky man! I have all except for maybe 3 of them. Great choices and you will LOVE Summer Breeze...also new for me this year and a real pleasing eye catcher! So...I agree with Irawon...go on and get it.....make it an even 30! Lol That bed will be amazing in the spring with all the various coloured pips poking up.....then all the new growth. Excited for you! Now sit back and enjoy... Jo |
- Posted by Hostas_for_Barb 6b (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 22:23
What a beautiful view you have from that hosta bed. Is all that in the pic your property or a park? The view from my front yard takes in my neighbours RV which sits in their driveway all summer. How I would prefer your view! |
Thanks Jo and Barb. I think I have a good space for the Summer Breeze, along with a few giants. A pick from the road. Looks like I'll be busy next spring :) |
- Posted by josephines67 5 ON (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 13:02
Again, beautiful grounds! I have come to realize that the term "less is more" has no relevance and should never apply to hostas, lol! |
- Posted by timhensley 5VT (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 15:26
Beautiful piece of property. Wish I had that much space. |
I am so excited for you. Your property is lovely and your new hosta bed will be a beautiful addition. I have wandered over here from rose forum and am falling in love with the hosta pictures. I also have shade and am considering starting a hosta bed. Everyone is so nice on this site. Lots of info and encouragement. Have fun with your new babies! Lesley |
- Posted by Hostas_for_Barb 6b (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 18:10
John, wow what a spectacular property you have! You will be able to plant hostas for years to come. Leslie, I have noticed the same thing. This is a wonderful forum - everyone is so positive and supportive of each other - with a good sense of humour thrown in! |
Absolutely gorgeous site and sooo much room to expand. I think you are going to find it irresistible to expand back around towards the street, nice free form islands around those other trees...WOW...are you in trouble. Jon |
Thanks for the nice input. Excites me to now be a part of this forum. Of course, being a newbie, already have a question. Can I assume I'll need to water my new babies pretty much everyday for a couple weeks until they "root". Thanks John |
As potted hosta, they are used to everyday watering. Their roots have not expanded into the soil yet. So, yes, I would water everyday, especially while it's hot. Great job! bk |
Thanks bkay. |

I am renovating this small bathroom. I was wondering if anyone had ideas how I can make this bathroom appear to be larger? (The toilet ia to the left of the towel rack facing towards the sink.) To give you an idea how small the room is, this picture was taken at the door of the bathroom
I purchased a small wall mount sink 17 x 8(Deep) (Whitehaus 103R). The bottom is exposed and I'm looking for a decorative p-trap. Someone also mentioned that I should remove the baseboard heating and put a towel rail. Would a towel rail be sufficient to keep the room warm?
Follow-Up Postings:
What size is the room? |
How big of a remodel are you doing? Are you gutting it and putting in all new stuff or are you keeping somethings? For general advice and images on small bathrooms I suggest checking out the better homes and gardens website and houzz. |
I agree, we need to know the extent of remodel planned. If major, buy all new fixtures, and down to the studs, then I would suggest a wall mounted toilet. Besides being easy to clean underneath, they are more narrow in depth. I would also suggest radiant floor heating if this is major remodel. Not sure about your geography. If you are in Michigan, Minnesota, Canada, etc. you definitely will still need major heating besides the radiant. More info please. |
Radiant floor heat may be sufficient, I'm (fairly) sure that a towel rack would not be. Other tips for small bathrooms - keep the lines simple, i.e. nothing too busy, use glass doors/walls for the shower. Wall mounted toilet (or a shorter toilet), a wall hung sink or pedestal sink, etc. Faucetsdirect sells decorative p-traps. |

Ok. I got morgana a long time ago. I'm ok with her, but I want to get better. What I usually do is buy 2 or three dorans rings and some Sorceress shoes if I'm getting harassed really bad. Then, I start to build RoA. After that, I build my Zhonyas. Then, I build a Deathcap, Abbysal Scepter if they have a lot of casters or Frozen Heart if they have a lot of Auto Attackers. And then depending on if the game continues, I build WotA and GA. If my build is wrong, then someone post how a Morgana build should be. The problem is, early game, I can't seem to kill anyone unless I use all of my spells in this order. R - Q - W - Ignite. Am I doing something wrong? Someone help me! I love to use Morgana, but I need to get better so I can be more useful to my teammates.
GON the Mage Guy
I would start off with RoA, honestly. Get a mana gem and 2 potions, use your skills sparingly. It's really easy to push as Morgana, but generally you only want to use your skills to keep your enemy off of minions or to spellvamp life back. If they have any CC, stay behind minions, and Spell Shield anything thrown at you. If they're aggressive, let them be, put down your soil when the minions reach your tower and last hit. Morgana gets kills by using her full combo. Don't be afraid to spike someone with your ult early. Something you may want to practice in bots is laying down your soil about half a second before you land your snare so they take near-full damage from the soil. This is accomplished with Smartcasting, as you cast faster with it on. Your Black Shield should be on Smartcast as well, because it's one of the best shields in the game and can mean the life or death of one of your teammates.
I would limit myself to one dorans ring if you're going for rod of ages, and I would only get one if I felt like I was behind and needed a little boost just to survive. Don't be afraid to buy your chain vest for zhonyas or your negatron cloak for abysal early if you feel like you're being harassed a lot. Crystalline Flask is also a good starting item for pretty much any mage. You will have enough left over for a ward and a health potion if you feel like you might be ganked early. The mana regen from the flask might also help you cope with not having your dorans rings. I don't feel like morgana really needs the flask because of her passive and she doesn't really have mana problems, especially once you get catalyst, but it's something you could try and see how you like it. The largest selling point for me is the early ward. I hate being ganked.
Thanks for the advise. I just played a game as morgana going 10/3/10 carrying my whole team and winning .
Don't be discouraged if you can't kill your opponent in lane without a full combo (R, Q, W, ignite), all this means is that you've found yourself an even match. =) In addition to practicing smart cast, here is another tip: Go into the key bindings menu and find the option for "SELFcast Spell 3". If you set that to a comfortable button for you (maybe an extra mouse button), you will be able to instantly cast Black Shield on yourself at the speed of a summoner spell like Heal or Barrior. This is very useful if an opponent surprises you with a flash stun or you catch an ashe arrow out of the corner of your eye! *always* start with a Crystaline Flask on mana based champs =) ~work a Voidstaff into your build after the Zonya and Deathcap.

Narrow your search
This robot vacuum wants to clean up your floors without cleaning out your savings. Come take a closer look.
This robot vacuum promises the cleaning convenience of a Roomba at a fraction of the cost. Does it deliver?
If you have hardwood floors (and no pets), you'll likely be more than happy with just how well the Hovo performs. Just don't expect Roomba-level design or smarts.
We've had several robot vacuums battle it out on our test floor. Here's what you can expect from each of them.

Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that administers the Scholars Program. The SEO Scholars Program is an academic after-school counseling service that aims to help low-income public high school students gain admission to and graduate from competitive colleges.
In the first evaluation of the program, PSA compared the high school academic outcomes and college enrollment of SEO Scholars to the corresponding high school academic outcomes and college enrollment of a group of similar students. The evaluation found that SEO Scholars outperformed matched comparison students by statistically significant margins on most outcome measures used in the evaluation, including students' grade-point average, type of high school diploma earned, SAT scores, and the selectivity of the colleges they attended. You'll find the report here.
At the request of Save the Children, U.S. Programs, PSA is evaluating the participation and literacy achievement of targeted children in the organization's literacy programs, which Save the Children implements in rural communities across the country. PSA has collected and reported on participation and outcome data in each of the first eight years of program operation. The evaluation found that the literacy programs served a population of children whose average reading skills were significantly below grade level and that those served received Save the Children literacy services on a frequent, consistent basis. It also found that participants improved their literacy skills significantly over the course of the program period, moving closer to grade-level performance and to a greater extent than did similar students in the same schools who did not participate in the program. The report of the evaluation of programs in the 2010-11 school year is now available here.
PSA conducts high-quality evaluation, research, and policy analysis to improve decisions in education and youth development.
A 2015 PSA report for The Wallace Foundation details how six urban school districts are beginning to build larger pools of strong principal candidates, revamp principal hiring and placement, and effectively evaluate and support new principals. The report, Building a Stronger Principalship: Districts Taking Charge of the Principal Pipeline, is the third in a multi-year evaluation conducted by PSA and RAND.
A new PSA brief examines the ways in which expanded learning can contribute to the development of mindsets that support student learning and success, based on findings from PSA's evaluation of TASC's ExpandED Schools and a review of the current research base. The brief presents evidence that strategic partnerships between schools and community-based organizations can create opportunities for students to take control of their own learning and build confidence in their ability to succeed. PSA also recently completed a comprehensive report on fidelity to the core elements of the ExpandED Schools model in the second year of the national demonstration, including the creation of more time for a balanced curriculum, the implementation of a strong school and community partnership and of engaging and personalized instruction, and the development of an integrated funding model to support the expanded day.
