Don't sweat it too much. Just aim for 6.5 gal pre boil and start your timer when it starts to boil. After that first batch you'll have an idea of how much boils off. It will prob be in the 1 to 1.5 gal per hour range.
hi everybody, I'am a begginer and I have been reading this forum finding many very useful information. Since I am just about to make my first all grain batch, there is one thing I just don't understand - it is the mash temperature. If my target temperature is let's say 153F, and of course I have to get my water couple of degrees more which I can calculate using software.... so this is not a problem... but for me the proble is how to maintain my mash temperature for 60 minutes???
I preheat my cooler mash tun, hit my temps exactly (using this calculator) and then wrap it around the sides with blankets and bungee cords and throw a pillow on top. I can leave it for hours without a single degree drop in temp. The more volume you have and the less headspace, the better it will hold heat. Don't mess with it too much, either. The more you open it up and stir and check your temp, the more loss you are getting. It's ok to check and stir a couple times, but every 10 minutes and you're going to get loss. As for initial strike temp, leave your thermometer inside and let it sit for 10 minutes before checking the temp. The mash tun needs time to equalize and if you take an "immediate" reading, it may be off. Many people try to adjust their mash temp, when really it was right to begin with.
Looking forward to brewing some beer
So, people are making it seem that an 8 gallon kettle pot is too small for medium sized beers. 1/2 gallon per lb of grain for sparge? Meaning if my recipe called for 13lbs of grain I would collect around 2.7 gallons of initial mash runnings, then I would need 6 gallons of sparge water for a total of 8.7 gallons of wort to be boiled down to 5 gallons? I thought all you needed to know was how much preboil volume you need to be boiled down to 5 gallons and that number never changes. Meaning if I need 6.5 gallons of wort to be boiled down to 5 gallons in 60 minutes then the strength of the beer is not a factor as the only thing that changes is how much initial mash water you will add. Ok, let's say I just follow the beersmith brewsheet and the target abv for the beer is 7%, am I going to end up with a 5% beer, because I didn't double my sparge water? If the difference in efficiency is only by a few points then I'm not even going to bother wasting another hour of boiling down wort just for a small gain in efficiency.
I made a partial mash stout yesterday. My mash tun is a 3-gallon cooler that I wrap in a wool blanket to keep it warm. My mash temp started to drop after 30 min. Which is odd because last year it held temp for the full 60. Anyway, during the mash, if the temp drops, what is the harm, if any, in adding a little hot water to bring the temp back up? I didn't worry about doing that yesterday, but thought I'd ask the question.
Adding some hot water is fine if needed. My guess is though, that the spot you took your reading had cooled, or you stirred it up before checking, which can kill a few degrees. I'm sure you're fine. Emgesp1: I make my 5 gal batches (6.5 pre boil) in a 10 gal kettle. The hot break has boiled over once when I was not paying attention, but it usually gets up there pretty high. An 8 gallon pot you will have to watch very closely. Get some fermcap to kill the foam and you should be fine. For calculating volumes needed, I take first runnings, and measure with a dipstick, then I know exactly how much more water I need. At that point grain is saturated, so what goes in = what comes out. Don't over think it. Hope that helps.
Cheers, Rich

YAKIMA - Wa-Hi's girls tennis team combined with Davis to complete a team and win at the Coke Invite here Saturday.
Four Blue Devils joined with Davis players for the victory.
At No. 2 doubles, Wa-Hi's Chantel Desjarlais and Rachel Shueller picked up three wins to finish first.
Hailey Lewis and Lexi Swenson at No. 3 doubles won one match before dropping a pair to finish fourth.
"I think it says a lot about these four girls that they are willing to hop on bus on such short notice and compete with a group of girls that they normally would be competing against," Wa-Hi coach Keven Peck said. "This is just proof that they love to play tennis.
"I am very proud of all four girls for their courage to compete in an unfamiliar setting without the support of their entire team," he said. "It was a great opportunity to improve their doubles play and they took advantage of it - we will benefit as a team from their experience this past weekend."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Luke!
Facts about Luke
- Breed: Dalmatian/Boxer Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Luke's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Luke - is a one year old male that is mixed with a Dane or Boxer. He is only 55#'s, but is all legs. Luke is learning some manners, but loves to play with other dogs, toys and whatever he thinks is a toy. He is very friendly and loves to cuddle.
If you are interested in adopting this Dalmatian from us, please fill out an adoption application. Upon approval of
an application, one of our volunteers will contact you to schedule
a home visit.
Other Pets at Dal-Savers Dalmatian Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Luke, a Milwaukee Dalmatian/Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dalmatian/Boxer for sale in Milwaukee, or seeking a Dalmatian/Boxer dog from a breeder in Milwaukee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Milwaukee already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Milwaukee breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dalmatian/Boxer breeders who help with Dalmatian/Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Milwaukee paves the way for another one to be saved.

You cannot talk about the success of Queens County without putting Cord Meyer at the head of the list. Many Queens developers have come and gone but the Cord Meyer Organization is here to stay.
Cord (Cordt) Meyer, a German immigrant, originally focused development in Elmhurst in 1893 and worked out of a storefront and purchased land in what was then called Newtown. In 1904 he built the beautiful building you see here at 108-18 Queens Blvd. He knew Queens' days for farming would not continue much longer. Two years later he bought land from farmer Frederick Backus on the north side of Queens Boulevard and changed the name of the area from Whitepot to Forest Hills, for effective marketing of homes. The office building had a beautiful fountain out front, but that was removed when the boulevard was widened.
The striking building was used several times in silent films by Astoria Studios as a prop and backdrop in the 1920s. The building came down in 1966 and was replaced with the large building that towers over the area today with the initials CM on it. Curiously Cord Meyer Development has its offices down the block at 111-15 Queens Blvd., in a much more humble building.
After the death of Meyer in 1910, his sons continued his success with Arbor and Forest Close in 1926 and 1927. Apartment houses Lexington, Livingston and Continental sprang up along 108th Street. Grandson Cord Meyer (1920-2001) had a colorful career with the CIA from 1949 to 1977.
In 2003 remaining family members Charles and George Meyer passed control of the company to Sal Panico as CEO and Anthony Colletti as COO. CM is still No. 1 after all these years, looking forward to greater projects in the 21st century.

So then the Earth was destroyed. Space invaders, inevitably, going by the name of the Bane. What chance did humanity have? We can barely get into orbit. The Bane cross galaxies just to burn worlds.
A few of us managed to escape through the uncovered technology of the Bane's estranged brother-alien race, the Eloh. We found other races willing to resist the Bane and bound together into a force that called itself the Allied Free Sentients. And a lucky few - including you - discovered they were 'Logos sensitive' and able to unlock the mysterious powers of the Eloh. What can we do now? Maybe nothing. Maybe anything. Maybe everything. Wiped clean, humanity's Tabula Rasa awaits your mark.
Appropriately enough, that's the situation Richard 'Lord British' Garriott found himself in after leaving Origin, the company he founded, in the clutches of Electronic Arts. He was able to recruit the key personnel who had created Ultima Online, the first genuinely successful commercial MMO, for a new project, which has been six tempestuous years in the making now. Finally, we're invited to their Austin headquarters to pore over the marks Garriott and his team have chosen to make.
It's an interesting game. Starr Long, original Project Director of Ultima Online, talks about their desire to go back to first principles, imagining what an MMO could be like without the detritus of influences. No fantasy setting. No taking turns to bash monsters. At it's heart, Tabula Rasa is a third-person shooter, like Gears of War. It is, as one of the beta-testers said on the open chat channel when we were playing, "a breath of fresh air."
The biggest difference in approach is combat. Based around your character's abilities rather than your own ability to point a cursor over someone's head, Tabula Rasa's combat is more about situations than bare number-crunching.
Cover counts. Half-conceal yourself behind a tree and you'll get a defensive bonus. Crouch to hide even more of yourself and you'll get more, as well as a bonus to hit. If someone manages to outflank you, on the other hand, you'll be at a considerable disadvantage.
This leads to a fluid jockeying for position for both players and AI, rather than simply standing nose-to-nose and cycling through your most powerful attacks.
Positioning is especially important for fighting larger enemies. The Bane's floating gunships possess front-mounted shields, and the majority of their weapons point forwards too. In a head-on conflict, they're going to tear you to pieces. However, if you can strike from the rear - perhaps using the terrain to conceal yourself until it passes - you get to bypass its defences and its weaponry.
Starr stresses that the team has tried to work strategic approaches like this into every battle. Abstractly, players ten levels below a monster should still be able to deal with it - if they use very careful tactics.
Character development departs from the norm as well. Your avatar changes radically as you advance. You start as a recruit, introduced to combat and support skills. At level five, you have a choice between becoming a specialist or a soldier. Later, soldiers get to weigh up the pros and cons of being a heavy hitter commando or the more stealth-centred ranger, and specialists get the sciences of the biotechnician or the more mechanically minded sapper.
These each open up into two more career options (for example, ranger into sniper or spy). The system enables you to actually experience the game before making the all-important decision of what you want to be. It's giving you an educated choice rather than one you might regret. Equally, you're able to 'clone' a character, effectively saving your progress and enabling you to try out other career options without having to return to the beginning of the game and retread old ground.

Monday, May 03
US Airways Center
Attendance: 18,422
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Steve Nash, Jason Richardson and Amare Stoudemire combined for 83 points as the Suns beat San Antonio, 111-102, in the opener of their Western Conference semifinal series.
Nash totaled 33 points and 10 assists, Richardson scored 27 and Stoudemire ended with 23 points and 13 rebounds. The starting backcourt of Nash and Richardson went 23-of-35 from the floor.
Phoenix, coming off a first-round series win over Portland, held on despite shooting just 5-of-14 from the field in the last quarter. They made 15 foul shots in the final period.
Manu Ginobili scored 27, while Tony Parker came off the bench for 26 for the Spurs, who beat Dallas in six games in the conference quarterfinals. Tim Duncan finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in defeat.
Game 2 is Wednesday in Phoenix.
"We haven't really done anything yet," Nash said. "We did our job in Game 1, but we have to have a better performance in Game 2. They're going to come out extremely desperate in Game 2 and we have to match that."
Stoudemire's two free throws expanded the Suns to an 89-75 lead less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, but the Spurs eventually rallied and scored 13 in a row. Ginobili's runner capped the burst for a 94-93 margin with 4:26 left.
Stoudemire countered with two free throws, but the Spurs were within three again on Parker's jumper for a 98-95 score. Stoudemire then sank a bank shot and Richardson drained a huge three-pointer for a 103-95 difference with 1:23 left, essentially ending San Antonio's chance at stealing Game 1.
"We can't get too excited," Stoudemire said. "They're a team with a great pedigree and know how to come back in a series. We played well on both ends, but we have to make sure we stay hungry."
George Hill scored seven points during the first quarter for the Spurs, but Nash dominated the period with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting, helping the Suns to a 31-22 lead. Nash hit a three-pointer for a 14-5 cushion and the advantage reached as high as 11 in the quarter.
"He wanted to come out and be real aggressive and see what he could get done early," Duncan said of Nash. "He did great. He shot the ball well and opened the floor up for them. The rest of the game he kind of picked us apart."
Ginobili's two foul shots had the visitors within 37-33, but an ensuing 11-1 flurry opened the fast-breaking Suns with another double-digit lead. A Grant Hill steal led to Richardson's fast-break layup, and Nash's jumper capped the rally for a 48-34 lead.
Down 57-47 at the half, the Spurs came out on fire in the third, scoring 12 in a row to go in front. Ginobili's three-pointer finished the run for a 67-64 contest with 7 1/2 minutes left in the quarter.
It stayed tight until the latter stages when the Suns took command. Enjoying the up-tempo style, Phoenix scored 10 in a row. Nash started the run with a jumper, Channing Frye added a pull-up three-pointer, Richardson jammed off a great bounce pass from Nash, and Richardson ended the monumental burst with a three-ball from the right corner in the final two minutes.
It was 85-75 going to the fourth quarter.

Jackson commissioners faced with resigning EDC members
Written by Admin- Broadband survey needs more rural responses
- Judge tells Jackson County to get moving with courthouse security
- Couple conserves private tract in Jackson
- Cullowhee zoning heads to commissioners
- Macon, Jackson negotiate payment for services
- Student housing developer in hot water
- New Jackson board passes anti-fracking resolution
- Erosion from DOT job concerns Jackson residents
Four of the nine members on the Jackson County Economic Development Commission have resigned in the past month, signaling growing frustration among a board that lacks clear direction from the county commissioners.
The director of the EDC had already resigned this summer, and on her way out, she called the EDC board and its relationship with the county dysfunctional. Her parting recommendation was to dissolve the EDC and create a new entity. The current EDC continued to be haunted by old baggage and controversy, including a power struggle with the county.
The EDC board complained this summer that it had no real authority but had been relegated to a mere advisory role, and furthermore, the county didn't seem interested in its advice. The county provides the lion's share of funding for the EDC, however, and saw no problem with the entity serving in an advisory-only capacity.
The county commissioners had shown no movement to acknowledge the concerns nor hire a replacement EDC director, prompting the resignations.
"The county administration has more or less taken over the work of the Economic Development Commission," Attorney Jay Coward wrote in his resignation letter, adding that he "cannot justify further participation."
The county commissioners are planning to talk about a new strategy for the economic development commission during a workshop in December.

"My family begs for this dish. My eldest son calls this his favorite dish I make. I'm not a big sausage fan, but this is really good. I usually don't use heavy cream, as I don't often have that much on hand, but I've found I can use milk or half and half and throw in some parmesan or mozzarella to thicken up the sauce. Thank you so much for a tasty..."
"Thank you for this simple recipe! It really does do a good job on the coat. My goldendoodle (who is 3/4 poodle, 1/4 golden) has a beautiful, soft double coat that can dry out easily with the wrong shampoo. She comes out of the bath soft and huggable. I added lavendar essential oil to the shampoo, as well."
"This is our go-to sandwich spread. I use this quite often to make french bread sandwiches for my family. As a matter of fact, they call it Big Sandwich when they ask for it. I use it as it is given in the recipe, although I only use it on one side of the bread. I use plain mayo on the other and I get more sandwiches out of one recipe. Thank you so..."
"Thank you SO much for this recipe. I use this every time I need a packet. My son has a reaction to the bought stuff and I can adjust this to suit us. Another winner and staple from you. Thanks!"
"My family always enjoys this taco salad. I just want to thank you for being so generous with your recipes. I know yours are always a great place to start when I'm looking for something. And we LOVE your recipe for Catalina dressing, too!"
"I decided to make this spur of the moment for company coming. I luckily had all the ingredients, except the "cream of" soups, so I whipped up a homemade version of that and threw everything else together. I was a little concerned initially, as this recipe has more ingredients in it than other similar recipes I've eaten in the past. But even as I w..."
"These were REALLY good! Can't wait to make them again."
"I've only tried one and I had to do mine on the stovetop (just made regular oatmeal and added in the toppings), but it was wonderful. I hadn't thought of some of these combos. Thank you for compiling these."

Need help choosing an area rug
February 20, 2013
All of my throw pillows have different patterns. I want to purchase an area rug but don't know what rug would look great , should I buy a solid color ? or is another pattern ok ? or should I get rid of some of these pillows so that I don't have too much going on?
Jayme H.
I would add a few solid pillows and remove at least 2 of the patterned..Two patterns with solids is enough pattern..For a rug u could do one with some pattern in it. Your sofa is brownish? If it is brown, u need some pillows with brown in them to tie your greys and browns together, your drapes look brown and grey?
Hi Jayme, Ok getting rid of some pillows sounds like a good idea, the Sofa is actually called Aventura Grey , sometimes it looks brownish and sometimes greyish... and the curtains are grey and like a wine/plum . Where did I mess up ? I love the yellow but not sure if that's what I should get rid of ?
Jayme H.
You have a really nice room, mixing patterns is so hard to do anyway/and too many gets looking busy..try for some solids, one or two others with a pattern with all of your colors together...It is hard to add a patterned rug in with a lot of other patterns also..
I agree, pick 2-3 of your favorite pillows and put the other once in storage for now. The rug could have some yellow and gray tones.
Jayme, I loved that geometric rug you showed me, i think my hubby wants more of a shaggy rug though... so that will probably meed to be my first decision.. As far as the pillows I'm definetly going to get rid of some i have some that arent my faves in the mix anyway. I love all the images you showed me. I also recently purchased a lamp very similar to the one in the third image so this gives me hope

Jen, we carry larges collection of area rugs. Persian high quality hand tufted area rugs. Just a suggestion,we always tell our customers this, shaggy rugs shed a lot for first month or so, hand made ones that is. Machine made rugs not so much. But hand made rugs do shed a lot, some times more than months. this is their nature. There is a special way to vacuum these rugs. Shedding does not mean that they bad quality. They suppose to do that. At some point you might get frustrated with all the wool all around the living area.

reviews & comments (161)
Made exactly as written. Easy do! Family really liked it. Hubby wants it accessible so he can make it again.
This is amazing! Not sure how some reviewers thought it was spicy because it was simply full of flavour and delicious. Will make it again and again.
Awesome recipe! I only had 1 pound of lamb so I doubled up on the garbonzo beans and it came out perfect!
this is now my foolproof way to impress guests after having first made this recipe a year ago. The meat available here is quite lean so the result is not heavy or greasy, and these flavours are unbeatable. Every guest who's had it has taken their first spoonful and said "wow!" I usually serve it with a simple spinach salad dressed with lemon, and most recently finished the meal off with the olive oil lemon tart (recipe on this site) for a winner of a dinner party.
So excellent. Made exactly as written; not too spicy for us but wonderfully complex flavors. A HUGE hit.
Very good, but as previously said, spicy! I asked my husband to prep the lamb while I was at work. He follows directions to the t. I would have cut back pretty far on the cayenne. Taking it to a Moroccan dinner party tonight. I'm sure everyone will love it, but I'll probably have some yogurt with it to tone it down.
I have made this recipe twice and both times it was delicious. A little on the spicy side so if you don't like spice, be careful of this dish. The first time I made it with a yogurt-dill sauce which helped the heat. This is DELICIOUS.
This has been a family favorite for 5 years. I have often made it with ground lamb, lamb stew meat is very hard for me to find. Yesterday I made it with ground chicken for our "no red meat" daughter and it was wonderful. If you can resist the first day, it tastes even better the second day. I have never made it without getting rave reviews-an absolutely wonderful recipe.

Pujara no.7 in Test batting rankings
Cheteshwar Pujara's solid batting in the Delhi Test has seen rise to an all time personal best of no. 7 in the ICC Test batting championship rankings.
Pujara's double hundred in the Hyderabad Test had earlier seen him jump 12 places to no.11 and even briefly spent time on no. 10 on the frequently changing rankings. The rankings are updated every week, accounting for performances big and small from every corner of the cricketing world.
Like his predecessor Rahul Dravid, Pujara opened the batting for India in the fourth Test after Shikhar Dhawan had to sit out with an injury. On the trickiest pitch of the series which was crumbling and producing inconsistent bounce from Day 1, he made a crucial 52 in the first innings and a priceless 82* in the second innings and also featured in the two biggest partnerships of the game with Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli.
His 82* in the second innings was stunning because of the complete calm, ease and command he showed on a deteriorated wicket, taking India through a very tricky chase in remarkably short time. India went on to wrap up the match in three days, a comprehensive 6 wicket win to wrap up their first ever 4-0 whitewash of any Test nation.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly was impressed enough to say "He has made 134 runs — 52 and 82 not out — on a difficult spinning track. For me, the man of the match is Pujara,"
Rahul Dravid too was full of praise when asked about Pujara in a recent interaction, tipping him to make an impact in One Day cricket as well. "He's had a great start to his international career, in fact a much better start than I did," Dravid said. "I think he has been brought up in the old school of batsmanship. He is developing more shots and he approaches Test cricket in the same way as I did.
"He's got some good basics in place," Dravid said. "You can see that he is constantly improving and he is someone who will find answers to questions. He is going to have his ups and downs and face a lot of challenges adapting to different forms of the game and conditions. With his attitude and the way he is going about playing his cricket, I think he will find answers to a lot of these questions and one of them will be one-day cricket."

It's all about the people!
Marcus Lemonis was the guest speaker at this month's Latin American Economic Development Authority (LAEDA) dinner at the Ray and Joan Kroc Community Center in Camden. For those of you who aren't familiar with Lemonis, he is the chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam Enterprises, and the star of CNBC's The Profit, a reality show about saving small businesses. One of his key themes of the evening was the responsibility that comes along with running a business. Giving back to the community was a key topic, but during the course of the question and answer period, someone asked him about return on investment models and how he decides whether or not to buy a broken business. To our surprise, Lemonis said he doesn't really factor return on investment into his decision-making, but instead looks more at people, process and product.
I couldn't help but think that what's driven our business over the last twenty seven years and the fact that "committed" people are an essential part of our company's success. Profits always follow good business practices driven by good people!
So, from a billionaire to a struggling entrepreneur there is another valuable lesson to be learned . . . care about your people your business will flourish.
People Problems and Your Brand
I recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation made by Noam Wasserman of The Harvard Business School and sponsored by Edison Partners of Lawrenceville NJ. Professor Wasserman spoke about his bestselling book, The Founder's Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup, which resulted from over a decade of research and collaboration, studying business entrepreneurs and why their companies failed over time.
Wasserman concludes that over 65% of businesses fail as a result of poorly defined roles and responsibilities. In addition, there is a lack of clear understanding about leadership roles in the new company.
Poor communications is an issue that rarely goes away. If you understand that many businesses fail due to poor internal communication, you can look back to the development of the brand and why the brand is important to the employees of the company. This effort requires a diligent process of understanding the language stakeholders use when describing the product or service. Once we've distilled the common words and phrases used in the research, we begin the process of building the brand positioning statement which becomes the touchstone for all communications going forward. The communications I refer to includes all internal as well as external communications. The message being delivered to internal and external stakeholders must be consistent and true, factual and steady. Consistent messaging and by-in by employees can only help the advancement of the delivery of the brand promise.
The lesson here is that it is always difficult to talk about issues that confound and frustrate us, but like the proverbial elephant in the room, the topic will come back to haunt us. Be prepared to understand what people want and distill the message into thoughtful, consistent language and you will go a long way to insure your company is successful.
Brand Engagement – Olive Garden Fails at the Fundamentals
This recent blog post on Slate.com recaps a report detailing how Olive Garden has lost its brand focus (the report is from hedge fund Starboard Value and there are links in the post that get you to more details). It's an important reminder about the importance of brand engagement at all levels of an organization.
Say what you will about the food, at its heart Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant. From Slate.com: " 'According to Darden management, Darden decided to stop salting the water to get an extended warranty on their pots,' Starboard, which is in a proxy fight for control over Darden's board, explains. 'Pasta is Olive Garden's core dish and must be prepared properly. This example shows how disconnected Darden management is from restaurant operations and how little regard Darden management has for the guest experience. If you Google 'how to cook pasta,' the first step of Pasta 101 is to salt the water.' "
What are you selling?
Those of you who listen to podcasts and/or National Public Radio have probably heard This American Life. It's a great show, right? I love it too but rarely do I find a business justification for listening until a recent episode went straight to my heart as a marketer. Give it a listen . . . it's worth a hour of your time.
Episode 533: It's Not the Product, It's the Person
Starting a business is not for the self-doubting. Or even usually the self-deprecating. The first thing you have to sell is yourself — like dating, but with a greater chance of landing in debt. Alex Blumberg tells the incredible, sweat-stains-and-all saga of a man fumbling through starting a new business, and the man is: himself. Plus, new stories from Mike Birbiglia and Love + Radio.

Yesterday, we previewed the AFC. In today's podcast, Strafe, Mo, Cousin D and McFly preview the NFC and make playoff predictions.
Vlad Jones-McFly, Cousin D, Midtown Mo and yours truly conducted our annual preview for the upcoming NFL season, including bold predictions for each team from each of us. In Part 1, we previewed the AFC.
In honor of the wild and crazy finish to last Saturday's Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn (on Bo Jackson's birthday, no less), and because we love lists, we put together the 10 best finishes to a sporting event in my lifetime.
The rules are pretty simple:
With that said, here's the list (in chronological order).
1. Cal vs. Stanford: The Play, 1982
Even the most casual football fan knows about the time the band was out on the field. Little-known fact: The Cal win prevented Stanford QB John Elway (yes, that John Elway) from ever playing in a bowl game.
2. Hail Flutie (Boston College vs. Miami, 1984)
You ever wonder why now every middle-tier school in America wants to play Division I football? The Flutie Effect
3. Bill Buckner (Red Sox vs. Mets, 1986 World Series, Game 6)
The loss wasn't entirely Buckner's fault, as the game was already tied thanks to a passed ball two pitches before, but everyone remembers the slow roller up the line.
4. Kirk Gibson's walk-off home run (Athletics vs. Dodgers, 1988 World Series, Game 1)
Kirk Gibson, with two injured legs and fighting a stomach virus, comes to bat against Dennis Eckersley in the bottom on the ninth, down a run. Jack Buck still hasn't believed what he just saw.
5. The Shot (Duke vs. Kentucky, 1992 NCAA East Regional Final)
Grant Hill's perfect pass sets up Christian Laettner's shot that sends Duke to the Final Four. Moral of the story? ALWAYS guard the guy inbounding the ball.
6. Joe Carter's walk-off home run (Phillies vs. Blue Jays, 1992 World Series, Game 6)
There have been 113 World Series played. Two have ended on home runs. Nuff said. Touch 'em all, Joe.
7. One Yard Short (Rams vs. Titans, Super Bowl XXXIV, 2000)
After pulling off the Music City Miracle in the Wild Card round, the Titans believed they were a team of destiny. Mike Jones (WHO!) had other ideas.
8. Big Shot Bob (Kings vs. Lakers, 2002 Western Conference Finals, Game 5)
He had hit big shots before, but Robert Horry earned the nickname with this shot. What if Vlade Divac doesn't tap the ball toward halfcourt? BTW, the Kings haven't been heard from since.
9. The Fish Swish aka 0.4 (Lakers vs. Spurs, 2004 NBA Western Conference Semifinals, Game 6)
After Tim Duncan hits a fadeaway at the top of the key to give the Spurs a one-point lead, Derek Fisher's shot gives the Lakers the win. They go on to win the series in six and march to the conference finals.
10. Manchester City vs. Queens Park Rangers, 2012
Manchester City, needing a win to secure the Barclays Premier League title (and preventing their hated rivals Manchester United from winning it all), are down a goal with four minutes left. Sergio Aguero will never have to buy a drink in the blue half of Manchester ever again.
Honorable Mention
Blackhawks vs, Flyers, 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, Game 6
Patrick Kane scores the Cup winner and UOENO.
Aaron F—— Boone, 2003 ALCS Game 7
Down to their last five outs, the Yankees tie it in the 8th and win it in the 11th.
NC State vs. Houston, 1983 NCAA National Championship
Jimmy V is still looking for someone to hug.
Boise State vs. Oklahoma, 2007 Fiesta Bowl
This game gives the Iron Bowl a run for its money in great college football games
Valparaiso vs Ole Miss, 1998 NCAA East Region 1st Round
Bryce Drew's shot gives #13 seed Valpo the win over #4 Ole Miss in a play that surprisingly, I've never seen run since
Did I forget one? Let us know!

Strafe, Young Ness and McFly discuss the controversial end to the Pats-Panthers game, the eight teams that can win the Super Bowl and the struggling Brooklyn Nets. Then Ness and Strafe get into an argument about Tony Allen kicking Chris Paul in the face.

- Who are the Super Bowl contenders? (10:00)
- What's wrong with the Brooklyn Nets? (31:30)

Strafe, Dr. J & @BrieVanessa discuss why the Ravens suck, why the Jets are good, why the Chiefs are underrated, why the Broncos are overrated and if Richie Incognito really bullied Jonathan Martin.
It usually takes me four weeks to figure out where the teams are, from a gambling perspective.
Not this year. I felt as clueless as ever after four weeks.
After this past Sunday's games, I think I've finally nailed a few ground rules for the 2013 season. You'll see them along with this week's picks. (Home team in CAPS.)
ARIZONA (+6.5) over Seattle
It's probably better for you that you see my Thursday night pick on Fridays at this point. (Although 'Zona was 30 yards away from the backdoor cover late in the fourth. But I digress.)
PHILADELPHIA (-2.5) over Dallas
Rule No. 1: Avoid taking Dallas when they're giving points against a good offense. Philly can score and the Dallas defense has 1.5 guys I'm afraid of.
WASHINGTON (-1.5) over Chicago
I had both these teams falling off a cliff this season. So far the 'Skins have held up their end of the bargain. Looks like Robert Garbage Time III is getting his legs back. I can see Shanahan read option-ing all over the not-as-stout-as-you-think Bears' defense.
Cincinnati (+2.5) over DETROIT
Rule No. 2: Cincinnati plays to their level of competition. They can beat anyone and lose to anyone. Just be safe and take the points.
ATLANTA (-7.5) over Tampa Bay
I refuse to pick a shaky rookie QB on the road against a team coming off a bye.
Buffalo (+8.5) over MIAMI
I am telling you right now, if Matt Flynn ends up starting, TAKE MIAMI.
New England (-3.5) over NY JETS
No matter what a delirious Jets fan tells you, this is their Super Bowl, so they'll play hard and… wait a minute… oh… my… God… it's GRONNNNNK!
CAROLINA (-6.5) over St. Louis
I like Carolina's front seven against any shaky QB. No matter what the Texans tried to pull last week, Sam Bradford is a shaky QB.
JACKSONVILLE (+7.5) over San Diego (UNDERDOG SPECIAL)
West Coast team traveling 2,300 miles east on a short week for a 1 pm game. Backdoor cover, at the very least. I think.
KANSAS CITY (-6.5) over Houston (LOCK OF THE WEEK)
Case Keenum. On the road. In #ARROWHEAD. Yeah, aight.
San Francisco (-4.5) over TENNESSEE
I refuse to pick Ryan Fitzpatrick unless he's getting more than a TD.
Baltimore (+2.5) over PITTSBURGH
The former "Best Rivalry In Football" titleholder. This game should always be Home Team -3, and you should always take the points. (Especially when the home team is 1-4.)
GREEN BAY (-10.5) over Cleveland
The extra half point is enticing… but not enough to take the QB who thought THIS was a good decision.
INDIANAPOLIS (+6.5) over Denver (UPSET SPECIAL)
The passing of the torch. Colts 24, Broncos 21
Minnesota (+3.5) over NY GIANTS
Rule No. 3: I refuse to take any 0-6 team giving points, period.
Last Week: 8-7
This Season: 39-53
The guys discuss why the NFC East doesn't get the same treatment that the NFC West got three years ago for being a terrible division (led by a subpar Cowboys team). They also discuss if Rob Gronkowski is the NFL's version of Derrick Rose and which team will sign Robinson Cano.
The fellas discuss whether or not the Giants should just throw in the towel and tank the rest of the season. Later, Strafe calls Landon (@Harlem4Dais) for a very spirited Hater's Call about the New York Jets (19 minute mark).

I have a few rules when it comes to sports gambling.
Rule No. 1: "I WILL NOT LOSE. When in doubt, take the points."
Another rule is, "If you give me 20+ points in an NFL game, I'm taking the points."
In Week 3, the Jacksonville Jaguars got 19.5 points against the Seahawks in Seattle. I took the 19.5. Of course, the Seahawks won by 28.
In Week 5, the Jaguars got 11.5 points against the Rams (the RAMS!!!). I took the 11.5. Of course, the Rams won by 14.
In Week 6, the Jags are getting anywhere between 26.5 and 28 points against the Broncos. I'm struggling with this line.
The case to pick Denver: They're undefeated. Their average margin of victory is 18.2 points. Their point totals this season: 49, 41, 37, 52, 51. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are winless. Their average margin of defeat is 22.4 points. Their point totals this season: 2, 9, 17, 3, 20.
The case to pick Jacksonville: They're an NFL team getting 26.5 points. And they've heard about it all week. Purely they must have some pride.
I am absolutely torn on this one… which means take the points… right?
We'll see.
Here are the Week 6 picks. (Home team in CAPS)
NY Giants (+7.5) over CHICAGO
I had Chicago until 8:29 PM EDT. Excellent flip-flop by me.
TAMPA BAY (+0.5) over Philadelphia
Nicke Foles on the road vs. Mike Glennon at home. Ugh. When in doubt…
MINNESOTA (-2.5) over Carolina
Win or lose, our prayers are with Adrian Peterson and his family.
Detroit (-2.5) over CLEVELAND
Like last week, I retain the right to switch this pick if Megatron is out.
BALTIMORE (+2.5) over Green Bay
The Patriots have the best home record in the NFL since '08. Guess who's No. 2?
HOUSTON (-7.5) over St. Louis
Matt Schaub has to get it together against the Rams… right?
Cincinnati (-7.5) over BUFFALO
Did you see Jeff Tuel last week? Thad Lewis was BEHIND HIM.
KANSAS CITY (-8.5) over Oakland
Very tempted to take 8.5 in a divisional game. But not in #ARROWHEAD.
Pittsburgh (+2.5) over NY JETS (UPSET SPECIAL)
If I have any chance of winning my Jets under 5.5 wins bet with @Harlem4Dais, I need (shuddering) a Steelers win. Sorry Raven Nation… this is business.
SEATTLE (-13.5) over Tennessee (LOCK OF THE WEEK)
Ryan Fitzpatrick on the road.
Jacksonville (+26.5) over DENVER
See Rule No. 1
New Orleans (+2.5) over NEW ENGLAND
New England 31, New Orleans 30
Arizona (+11.5) over SAN FRANCISCO (UNDERDOG SPECIAL)
Arizona may have its issues… stopping the run is not one of them.
DALLAS (+5.5) over Washington
Dallas wins but not by much.

Sound Excursions describes their carefully curated group experiences as "field trips for adults." It's easy to see why: every outing takes groups to a new realm of Washington, whether it's the frothy shores of Puget Sound, inland forests and mountains, or tables at Seattle's thriving restaurants. The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.
Leading more than 30 bike tours across the nation, the cycling enthusiasts at Bike and Roll fuel a passion for healthy, eco-friendly transportation via guided tours and self-guided rides atop rental bikes. Their fleet of two-wheelers stakes a claim to Trek bicycles—the same brand that propelled Lance Armstrong to victory—and other recreation, transportation, road, and children's bikes. Riders can pedal behind a guide during the Ride 'Round Manhattan tour, which circles the Statue of Liberty and the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial before cruising along the Harlem River bike path. More adventurous cyclists can board rental cycles on their own and confer with free maps to conduct a jaunt across the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges while drinking in the skyline and making Waldo spottings along the river. Bike and Roll also outfits patrons with other specialty transportation, such as in-line skates, segways, and magic carpets programmed to swing past the tops of only historic buildings.:m]]
From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week , Unlimited Biking pairs subscribers with bikes for two-, three-, or four-hour jaunts based on their membership choice and hairdo-resilience threshold. After selecting a package, customers choose the days and time they want to reserve a bike, pick up their ride at the Unlimited Biking headquarters in Manhattan , and return it within the allotted time . The service rents out Biria Citibikes, and depending on the membership package, subscribers can make up to two or four reservations in advance at a time.
Central Park's 843 acres of trails, tree-lined paths, and cultural monuments are ready-made for a leisurely bike ride. Luckily, Bike Rental Central Park's fleet of more than 200 bicycles makes it easy to hop on a two-wheeler and come within a selfie's distance of all of its curiosities. Comfort bikes, hybrids, and mountain bikes accommodate most every rider's needs and each rental comes with a helmet, chain, basket, and map to make the journey extra convenient. Riders can also opt for a tandem bike and cruise with a friend or rent a baby trailer to carry a precious club sandwich. In addition to solo rentals, Bike Rental Central Park also offers guided tours of the park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Manhattan with stops at iconic film locations and other famous sites.
With pick-up locations now in both Hamilton Park and Liberty State Park, arranging your rental or tour couldn't be easier. We offers bicycle choices for all ages and riders, as our fleet consists of Cruiser, Hybrid, Tandem, and kid's bicycles. We also carry great accessories for the family,including baby seats and tagalongs
The cycling guides at Central Park Bike Tours shepherd customers through the Big Apple?s lively core during informative tours and rent out bikes so explorers can discover the city at their own pace. The fleet of 2014 Trek Allant 7 that make up the rental bikes are well maintained for maximum safety and comfort, and rentals are available for a variety of durations. Multilingual guides ferry tourists past Manhattan's and Brooklyn?s storied sights, such as Central Park, Times Square, Greenwich Village, Little Italy, and the location where former mayor Ed Koch was famously encased in ice. A photo tour focuses on scenic locales as shutterbugs artistically document their surroundings.

A Week On The Wrist: The Autodromo Stradale
When Autodromo introduced the Stradale last month, it became the first automatic watch to gain a permanent place within the automotive inspired collection. We've become fond of Autodromo's approach to design, as well as their use of the Seiko "meca-quartz" movement (not to mention their racing gloves and sunglasses), and with the Stradale, they look to broach new territory. The New York City-based brand represents a value proposition without compromising on wearability, and bespoke design elements. Can the Stradale retain these themes while moving to a purely mechanical platform? We spent a week with all three variants to find out.

Please don't tell me you'd spend $700 on a Glock!
Those things are a dime a dozen on the secondary market. Every 21yr old buys a Glock 'BECAUSE THERE(sic) BADASS!...COD tells them that's the coolest thing in the world next to an AR15 festooned with tacrails and a collapsible buttstock and a foregrip....then eventually finds out there are much better choices out there depending on use....thus, the secondary market is FULL of Glocks. If you have to have one, buy used. |

The colours are more vibrant, longer- lasting, and have continuity of tone, rather than tiny dots.The range of colour possible for our giclée fine art prints is far greater than that of conventional offset-lithography (the most commonly used printing method for most open- edition prints and posters). We use Hahnemühle printed fine art paper as this superior cotton rag paper is museum grade quality and is acid free. All giclee prints have an ample white border (included in the dimesions) so there is no need for a mount.

Madoff Swindled Muslims, Too!
But with help from a Jew
Hey, guess what? Bernie Madoff didn't just target Jews! According to a story in today's Boston Globe, Madoff swindled Muslims, too—specifically, Sufis, adherents of a mystical form of Islam. The paper reports that Sufi groups, including the North American chapter of Sufi Order International, entrusted millions of dollars to Madoff. But how did these people find Madoff? Aye, there's the rub: it was through a California lawyer and money manager named Richard Glantz, who practices Sufism but was, in fact, raised as a Jew. More to the point, his father, Edward, a New York accountant, was an associate of Madoff's; he was in fact disciplined by the SEC in 1993 for raising $88 million in unregistered securities that were sent to Madoff via the accounting firm started by Ruth Madoff's father, Saul Alpern. So, you know, never mind.
Followers of a Mystical Religion Were Taken in by Madoff Scheme [Boston Globe]

CHENNAI: Police were given three days custody of credit card fraudster Umesh alias a Shortya and his aide Divyan on Wednesday. After the order by the 11th metropolitan magistrate in Saidapet, police teams took the duo to a secluded place for questioning.
Police arrested Umesh and his associates on October 9. They started investigating the case after more than 60 people complained of being cheated to the tune of Rs 32 lakh. Umesh bought hi-tech slim skimmers and encoder machine from China and used them to get credit and debit card details from card holders. He and his associates then used the card details to make fake credit and debit cards.
Umesh purchased each of the 50 skimmers and sensor equipment for $2,000 (nearly Rs 85,000) from a company in China over the last six months. He received the consignments by courier.
"We will interrogate Umesh to find out more about his associates in other states and abroad, a police officer said."
Umesh and Divyan will be remanded in Puzhal prison after producing them before the magistrate on Friday.

July 22-29, 2015 only $3595 plus Airfare
The Goodnews River may be the best River in all of Alaska to catch the rare Pacific Salmon Grand Slam, landing all 5 species of Pacific Salmon, the King, the Silver, the Pink, the Chum and the Sockeye, in one day. Many anglers have attempted this, and with a little luck, it happens to some of our Guests every year. It happens on fly: it happens on spin gear: some years it seems easy; some year's it's a little more difficult. We've even had had 2 anglers fishing together, accomplish this feat both on the same day! We've even had one angler accomplish the Super Grand Slam: the 5 Pacific Salmon, a Rainbow, a Dolly Varden and a Grayling all in one day on fly!
If you're the type of angler who loves challenges, we want you to come and give it a try. So just for you, we've specially priced the best Grand Slam week in 2015, July 22-29, at just $3595 plus a Charter airfare of $950! That week every species of fish that calls the River Goodnews home will be readily available. Are you up to the challenge?

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, in the three months ended June 30, 2012, increased 10.9% to $20.2 million from $18.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011. Cost of services and products decreased 1.0% to $10.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, from $10.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Shoreham added $0.4 million which was more than offset by reduced RLEC expenses, long distance costs and overhead expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24.5% to $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011. Shoreham added $0.1 million. Severance costs, restructuring and related legal expenses and the write-off of shelf registration deferred charges accounted for $0.6 million. Depreciation and amortization for second quarter 2012 increased 30.5% to $5.9 million from $4.5 million in second quarter 2011. Shoreham accounted for an increase of $0.2 million. Amortization of intangible assets associated with the Country Road acquisition increased $1.2 million, reflecting the shorter remaining life of the Time Warner Cable contract. Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets increased expense by $144.0 million and $8.6 million in second quarter 2012. There were no comparable expenses in second quarter 2011. The non-renewal of the Time Warner Cable contract and the projected impact of the FCC's Inter-Carrier Compensation order will materially reduce revenue and net income in the next several years. Following the appropriate Financial Accounting Standards Board guidelines, the amounts were written down to their fair value levels. These charges do not have an effect on cash.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 8.8% to 5.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $6.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by the lower effective interest rate on the outstanding balance on our long-term notes payable upon the expiration of our interest rate swaps in first quarter 2012.

Jamie Dimon has been called the king of Wall Street for avoiding some of the worst excesses of the financial crisis and single handedly fending off tough financial regulations. His reputation, and that of his bank JP Morgan Chase, is taking a hit on disclosure of massive trading losses.
In responding to the crisis over the weekend, Dimon gets an "A" for effort and strategy, but a "C" for execution, mainly driven by poor message planning and delivery. To be fair, he may have had great messages, but they weren't delivered.
In terms of strategy, he chose to do a solo interview with David Gregory on the set of Meet the Press, a couple of days before the show. This got him press on Saturday and a less than hostile environment with a convivial host.
On the main question from Gregory, "how did this happen?" Dimon should have had and delivered a tight, clear message: a very short soundbite. Instead he said this:
"First of all, there was one warning signal — if you look back from today, there were other red flags. That particular red flag — you know, we made a mistake, we got very defensive and people started justifying everything we did. You know, the benefit in life is to say, 'Maybe you made a mistake, let's dig deep.' And the mistake had been brewing for a while, so it wasn't just any one thing."
What? The core goal at this moment is to inspire confidence with key stakeholders, including investors, regulators, the public and Congress. This is why we spend so much time in media training stressing the process of creating messages and practicing their delivery on camera.
This could have been a powerful statement framing the debate to come. Instead, this weak and confusing answer creates a genuine lack of confidence.
Too bad, Dimon set himself up with the best opportunity to frame the issue but failed to turn it to his advantage. Dimon, his bank and the entire industry may well pay the price.
One Response to Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase Miss Reputation Opportunity
Excellent point here John. Jamie could have used a power word like "but" to transistion into what Chase will do or why the public should remain confident in him and Chase. With their performace during the meltdown he had that to fall back on just as Warren Buffet did with Berkshire Hathaway when the lost a lot of money several years back. Buffet owned up to the los then reminded shareholders how well the management team had done over his 30+ years at the helm. People left thinking not about the huge loss but rather the amazing track record of Berkshire Hathaway's senior management team.

Tampa resident and history lover Lonnie Herman?s longtime fascination with history has evolved into a broad expertise about the area's vibrant streets where newspapers are printed in three languages. The personable former executive also has the gift of being an evocative storyteller. This convergence of interest and talents resulted in Lonnie's company, Ybor City Historic Walking Tours. The guides' upbeat narration carry small groups down vibrant 7th Avenue with detailed anecdotes that reveal the complex past behind Ybor City's cigar factories, Columbia Restaurant, and the story of the eponymous Vicente Martinez-Ybor, who founded the city as a place to store his statues of himself.
As they flock to the nearby beaches of Clearwater or the nightlife of Tampa, most tourists overlook Dunedin, a pretty burg known for its sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. But, thanks to the segway-riding guides at Sun Glide Tours, the region's hidden gem just became much more accessible. Astride their two-wheeled steeds, visitors can explore the Pinellas Trail that cuts through downtown, steering their segways alongside runners, bikers, and the town's famous rollerblading squirrels.
Dash Around Tours' experienced guides cart up to 14 sightseers to scenic central Florida locales, such as Cocoa Beach, Lake Eola, and Kissimmee, aboard the Dashmobile, a van replete with complimentary food and drinks. During unique expeditions, quirky tour guides take digital pictures for the group's future perusal on the web, as well as dole out their own brand of trivia about central Florida that they admit is more useless than a megaphone at mime school. The tour price includes admission to area attractions, but riders must provide their own change for retail purchases.
Tantalizing Tastes & Tours guides Jerry and Jasmine Bacon shepherd diners through the Fine Dining Tour, introducing palates to the seasonings and styles of four or five handpicked restaurants. Private chauffeurs depart at 6 p.m., driving guests to gourmand gems such as City Fire, at which diners indulge in upscale American fare, and The Nile, whose chef populates a menu with authentic Ethiopian dishes. As journeys roll along, panoramic views of downtown unfold, guides elaborate on places of interest, including Amway Center and City Hall, and rousing games of trivia require guests to consult their noggins to answer questions such as "Is Antarctica actually real?" Drivers will also pick up and drop off residents of other cities for an additional cost, including Kissimmee ($25), Lake Buena Vista ($20), and International Drive ($10). The directors request that guests refrain from wearing shorts, flip-flops, or clown noses on the excursion.
Florida is a state ripe for adventure. Airboats speed across its Everglades, passing by scenic flora and fauna, such as the state's famous American alligators. Elsewhere, a giant Saturn V rocket looms over the Kennedy Space Center, where visitors can learn about NASA, ride a shuttle-launch simulator, or even dine with a real-life astronaut, who may or may not be made of cheese. An astronaut even greets visitors as soon as they arrive, provided they come on one of Gray Line Orlando / Gator Tours' buses.
In business since 1993, Gator Tours became the Orlando branch of the nationally known Gray Line brand in 2006, and has grown to include more than 20 buses that travel across the Sunshine State. The experiences mentioned above are just two of 59 tours that depart from the Orlando area. In addition to simple shuttle service, the company also takes care of full itineraries. Depending on the chosen trip, guides might lead groups through downtown Orlando or historic St. Augustine, home to cobblestone streets and America's oldest schoolhouse. Other times, the company's buses go straight to the ocean, where boats wait to embark on deep-sea fishing trips.

Carol, This is a beautiful violet. I have ordered a plant for my garden. How many violets do you grow? cheers, vicki |
By the way Carol and Vicki, I think Viola chaerophylloides is very nice too. Mine is not so pink (actually it's plain white), and I have some trouble keeping it happy. But when it IS happy; it's spectacular. And it has a nice fragrance too. Mine looks more like the one labeled: Viola chaerophylloides f. sieboldiana, at the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Viola chaerophylloides f. sieboldiana
I just started growing this one so it's still in pots. In the garden I have Viola pedata. In my greenhouse a few seedlings have emerged. Viola labradorica, and one with variegated foliage, 'Sylvia Hart' are growing. Probably there is some Viola variegata, too. I don't want loads of wild violets invading my lawn and garden so want to be selective. There are lawns with purple and white violets up the street from me. The seeds are washing and blowing down into my grass and garden. |
Hi Carol and Tom, A greenhouse! I am envious. Interesting that you have v. pedata in the garden. Did you plant it or was it there? I have given up on the species after several attempts to get it established because I obviously cannot give it what it wants. V.pedata 'Artist's Palette' comes back for me, however. I love 'Sylvia'. It reseeds about the place for me, but is absolutely not what one could call invasive. I am zone 6b sometimes rather than 6a. Have you looked at John Whittlesey's list of violets, there are many lovely ones that are well behaved and won't take over the garden or the lawn. Tom, the yumyum site you linked to, is that the web site of the Japanese violet photographer and author? When I went to it the only legible words were the captions to the photographs. vicki |
I know Viola pedata cannot tolerate lime. Have you done a pH test? One of the local experts told me not to plant it in a trough due to the lime leaching out. Another rock garden member had her Viola pedata die after placing it in a trough. A rock garden member grows V. pedata in Exton PA. You can look at his web site, Edgewood Gardens, then go to Plant image galleries, then Violaceae to see his plants. Mine is the Eco Gardens cultivar. It is green now and has been in the garden for about 4 years. |

A FLORAL tribute to The Beatles will be centre stage at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show.
The Yorkshire Flower Club is creating a major display featuring dozens of designs dedicated to John, Paul, George and Ringo and their most famous hits.
Central to their floral theme will be the iconic Yellow Submarine, along with the legendary Sergeant Pepper and hits such as Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Lady Madonna and Back In The USSR.
To mark the event at the Great Yorkshire Showground from April 25 to 28, tribute band The Upbeat Beatles have tried out guitars made from flowers and pass on a few tips about the fab four to Sandra Harder, chair of the Yorkshire Flower Club.
Ms Harder said: "After the success of our Olympic theme last year, we decided to honour the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' first album."
