I'm interested in hearing growing experiences with this series from mid-western gardeners.
I've tried several selections here in my nursery - north-east Kansas - over the past two years. Whether growing in the ground, or over-wintered in containers, they have not survived winter worth a spit. Altho they are being sold in every garden center and big box store in the area, I'm giving up on them. If I can't make them work, I don't expect my customers to have much luck, and I'm just not gonna sell them any longer. Nonetheless, perhaps other folks in the mid-west are having great success with them - if so, I'd love to hear of it! brian |
Follow-Up Postings:
Field tests have been conducted in Zone 6. Only five varieties (Autumn Amethyst, Autumn Cheer, Autumn Royalty, and Autumn Ruby and Autumn Twist) consistently exhibited favorable cold hardiness throughout Zone 6A. No one recommends them for zone 5. Reports from around Zones 6 and 7 indicate that the reblooming isn't as evident in the colder areas. They tend to thrive in the Southeast, not mid-atlantic. |

Thanx rhodyman. With 24 selections in this series, perhaps some are worth a try for those who wish to push the zones. Autumn Princess came through reasonably well for me this past winter - well, not in a retail sellable condition, but it is alive! Actually, a LOT of retailers in my area are "recommending them for zone 5" - but who can really trust retailers, right? lol! I could, I suppose, sell the more cold-tolerant selections as container planting material, as the Encore site suggests. But frankly, I've got too much else to do in the nursery, and too much professional pride, to merchandise marginal plants. brian |
I planted three Encores last Fall and we had the worst, coldest winter with almost 3' of snow. They have come back just fine and are now blooming. |
I wish they would stop selling them in our zone. I saw some at Lowes the other day and I wanted to put a warning sign on them. |

Hi Brian_Zn_5_KS, You're right -- many of the Encore Azalea varieties will have some difficulty in zone 5, though we too hear anecdotal evidence of success from some gardeners. We do have garden centers who want to sell them in zone 5, and I think many gardeners use them in containers, or protect them in the winter. Since our study at the University of Tennessee two years ago, we've been sending out more and more Encore Azaleas to test sites in USDA zone 6, hoping to be able to provide a definitive list of varieties that fare well in this zone. Results have shown us that Autumn Amethyst, Autumn Carnation, Autumn Cheer, Autumn Lilac, Autumn Royalty, Autumn Ruby, Autumn Sangria, Autumn Sundance, Autumn Sunset and Autumn Twist are hardy in zone 6A. Almost all of the other 24 varieties have shown success in zone 6B. However, this success is largely determined by planting conditions. Planting in areas with great exposure to winter winds, and planting in containers to be left outside, do decrease the Encore Azaleas chances of weathering the winter -- especially a winter like this past one. We'd love to hear more of your experiences, here or at encoreazalea.com Thanks! |

Trade Marks Salon's talented staff turns the worn-out 'dos of women and men into modish coiffures that dash the dastardly hopes and dreams of style rivals. After receding into cushy black swivel chairs amidst a sea of hardwood floors, guests lay their aesthetic souls bare so that a savvy stylist may devise the blueprint to trendy tress modification. A haircut and style incorporates name-brand products to maintain the top of the human totem pole, snipping excess inches to craft a head ornament more elegant than a Victorian lampshade. In addition, eyebrows on a campaign to conquer more forehead territory are returned to their submissively slender shapes with a skilled waxing.
The nail technicians at newly relocated Tips N Toes groom fingers and toes with organic beauty products as appendage-owners scan their eyes through a lively setting with lime-green and zebra-print accents. Classic manicures and pedicures commence with a toasty soak that softens skin and reminds digits of their mermaid roots. A seasoned manicurist then files down nail tips and reshapes cuticles before massaging hands and feet with hydrating cream and slathering scratchers in fresh coats of Opi polish. The deluxe mani-pedi follows the same pampering blueprint as the classic mani-pedi but adds a paraffin wax treatment that warms hands and feet while easing chronic tension caused by 100-year thumb wars.
Kelly Rae leads the trio of staff members at her namesake salon, inspiring the whole crew with her advanced Paul Mitchell color training and cutting skills. Accompanied by fellow stylist Lesley Darling, both transform their clients' coifs with highlights, keratin smoothing treatments, and formal hairstyles. Nail tech Tina Mone, who's been beautifying hands for more than 10 years, applies chip-resistant Shellac and Gelish polishes as well as soothes palms with aromatherapy massages that relieve tension after high-fiving competitions. The salon also sells hand-painted wine and martini glasses, helping clients to continue to treat themselves once at home.
The licensed and certified cosmetologists at Bella Moda Hair & Nail Salon artfully construct men?s, women?s, and children?s hairstyles and refurbish nails inside a brown-and-blue-hued salon. An arched walkway with columns welcomes visitors into one of the spacious workstations, where skilled stylists douse heads with Bed Head products during signature cuts, color services, or formal stylings. Men's cuts can be complemented with hot shaves and scalp-therapy treatments, and utilize products from American Crew.
Keratin and BioIonic hair treatments chemically unfurl curls and tame frizz for uncompromisingly smooth, glossy locks, and perms and spirals perk up limp tresses. Cosmetologists also cater to unwanted hair on facial or body terrain with waxing services. Inside the nail salon, technicians render uneven digit-enders into smooth, geometrically sound shapes before laying on a coat of vibrant polish or creating self-portraits with freehand nail art.

Insituform Technologies, LLC - a unit of Aegion Corporation ( AEGN ) - has secured a wastewater pipelines rehabilitation contract worth $10 million from the City of Baltimore, Maryland. Insituform, a global leader in the development and installation of proprietary technologies and services for rehabilitating sewer, water and other underground piping systems, will use its Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) technology to perform the wastewater pipeline rehabilitation. As per the contract, Insituform will install nearly 7 miles of small and medium diameter CIPP in wastewater pipelines in the city, out of which 1 mile will be for medium-diameter trunk sewers. Insituform has prior experience of working in this field in the City of Dallas. Nevertheless, the task is challenging as a large bypass system and effective traffic control in the city center and Inner Harbor areas would be required. However, the unit's expert team is expected to overcome the challenge successfully. Including the aforementioned deal, Aegion has secured contracts to the tune of around $56.9 million from the City of Baltimore since Sep 2012. The project is expected to begin in mid 2014 and will be completed after 16 months. Aegion reported fourth-quarter 2013 adjusted earnings from continuing operations of 40 cents per share, marking a year-over-year fall of 2%.The decrease was owing to disappointing performances by its Energy and Mining as well as Commercial and Structural businesses. For full-year 2014, Aegion forecasts earnings per share in the range of $1.50 to $1.70. Cash flow from operations is expected to be $100-$110 million. The company anticipates return on invested capital in the band of 7%-8%. Aegion is expected to benefit from Brinderson's contribution, vertical integration, the expertise of veteran engineers and intellectual property protections across the value chain. Continued growth in the corrosion engineering as well as cathodic projection and linings business will also boost profitability. Moreover, strategic investments and backlog will be accretive to Aeigon. A favorable market outlook supporting water and wastewater will also drive growth. However, Aegion remains cautious about the pipe coating market. Chesterfield, Mo.-based Aegion is a diversified building and construction company which provides infrastructure protection, proprietary technologies and services. It also offers services related to the rehabilitation and improvement of sewer, water, energy and mining piping systems. Aegion currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the same sector include CaesarStone Sdot-Yam Ltd. ( CSTE ), USG Corporation ( USG ) and Wolseley plc ( WOSYY ). While CaesarStone sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), USG Corporation and Wolseley have a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Reviews for Chocolate Bavarian Torte
Sort By :
"I LOVED this cake!!!! The cream filling could be eaten by the table spoon!! I made a big one using two cake mixes, using 10 inch pans! Beautiful!!"
"My favorite cake so far. This was incredibly easy to make, and the family loved it. It took only a few ingredients, so it didn't cost much, and it wasn't even time consuming. The taste of outstanding. I seriously only got one small piece and the cake was gone."
"Unbelievably good! I only had 1/4 cup brown sugar and it still came out great. The taste reminds my family of an ice cream sandwich. Next time will play around with different flavors for the whipped cream - anxious to try almond or hazelnut."
"Very easy to make- but very impressive. I made this cake several years ago, and lost it so I was very happy to find it online. Just remember it needs a day to set before serving!"

Pushing 50 and 180 lbs ... aargh! I need all the help I can get. I have been a low carber before low carb was popular. It used to work for me but now I'm gaining weight and bored with it so, I cheat with bread, fruit, etc. Anyway, that's my story.
I tried weight watchers 25 years ago (when I was 10 lbs overweight) and the program was simple, you know, 2 fats, 1 protein, 1 bread .... etc. This point system is new to me but looks easy enough. I have gone to the WW website and it has alot to offer if you subscribe to their members only area. Anyone using this? Has it made a difference? I appreciate your thoughts and any inspiration I can get. Ellen |

Hi Ellen, I started my weightloss program about a month ago. Previously, I had tried to lose with exercise alone, and not changing my diet. Well, I never lost any weight, but I did feel a lot healthier. Fell out of the routine years ago, unfortunately. Now I'm trying the WW points system on my own. I looked at the WW website. Joining online would be my second choice. I'm not one to go to the meetings. But I have been doing OK on my own. So I'm sticking with that for now. I'm gradually getting back into the exercise, too. MaryAnnTX, who posts here, has a great website with all the points values. It has made all the difference for me. All I can say is that this is the first time in my life that I've seen the numbers on the scale going down, instead of up, lol. So I'm having fun learning this new way of life. I discovered that my main problem was that I just eat way too much--no real sense of appropriate portions. Please feel free to join us on the Dieting Pals thread, if you'd like. |
Here is a link that might be useful: MaryAnn's Points website
Hi Ellen and welcome! I have counted points using the Weight Watchers method, but never actually joined the program. I was able to lose to within 3 pounds of my goal weight. Then I got off the program and haven't been able to make myself get back! I have only gained 6˝ lbs back, so that makes me around 10 lbs more than I would like to be and I think all 10 lbs are in my stomach! I hate that!!! I always had a flat stomach until I hit around 47 or 48 and then the weight decided it liked my stomach area. I didn't do any exercising while counting points, but I have started an exercise program of my own the past week and plan to keep it up. Hopefully I can get toned up and build some muscle so that I can get rid of the ab flab! Buglady, thanks for the nice words about my website! I just put info there that really helped me while I was counting points. If you come across more helpful info just let me know and I'll be happy to add it to the webpage. My biggest problem is that at age 55 I still eat like a teenager. I love junk food! I guess I'm really fortunate that I haven't gained more than I have considering my eating habits. MaryAnn (who just finished off some ice cream and a few cookies, and feel like it all went straight to my stomach!) |
I was an Online WW until the first of this month and I dropped it (think it was about $15 per month.) I mostly used the Recipe Builder. You can type in your recipe and it will give you the points. I was stalled and my husband who is diabetic wanted to do Protein Power Plan (not as strict as Atkins) so we started that WOE August 4. I am mainly trying to get my minimum protein requirement in each meal and watching my carbs. I have so far kept off 5# but more important to me lost 5.5 inches over all last month. WW is a good program and will surely work if you will also work the program! Susy/Missouri |
I appreciate your responding! Been offline for a while due to the hurricanes (live in Tampa, Florida...) and now we have Ivan coming first of the week. Anyway ... since I posted all excited with WW - I GAINED 4 lbs!!! and, I was within my point range - what's up with that? So depressed, but pressed on and now I'm beginning to lose. I think my body wasn't used to so many calories and my metabolism was stalled or something. I went ahead and joined WW online web tools and it's pretty good - probably didn't need to but sometimes one feels desperate (and besides, with the temporary gain I haven't been back to meetings and the bad part of that is the meeting leader is someone I knew 20+ years ago and we "re-bonded" if you will - why me?) Thanks for the invite to DIETPALS, see you there... |
He, Ellen, I'm a WWer, too. In my case, I attend Weight Watchers at Work, which is hugely convenient and gives me lots of diet buddies here at the office. The web site has some great recipes. The boards are full of... uh... interesting personalities. |

Your 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Week That Was
LAA – 2-5 (Baseball Prospectus Playoff Odds as of 8/13: 0.0%.)
That's ZERO for those of you keeping score at home. For the rest of you, it's also ZERO.
Your 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Week That Was
LAA – 2-5 (Baseball Prospectus Playoff Odds as of 8/13: 0.0%.)
That's ZERO for those of you keeping score at home. For the rest of you, it's also ZERO.
I haven't listened to this entire song in … maybe forever. And I've realized that the only part we ever hear during Los Angeles sporting events is the "best" part. And by "best", I mean "least awful" part. I know this might fall on deaf ears, but I'm of the opinion that the song in its entirety is an absolute mess (and I won't even comment on the video). Lounge-core intro? Check. Calypso interlude? Check. Prog/Space-rock bridge? CHEEEYECK. Ugh. It's fucking awful.
Los Angeles in 2013 is traffic and traffic and more traffic and missed appointments/reservations and clearing your schedule to do ONE THING because of traffic and some more traffic and no parking and even more traffic. If you had the good fortune of being loaded (with money, coke and booze and limo drivers) in the 80s, I'm sure it was an full-blown party. Now, it sucks all of the balls.
Yup. You just got Bon Jovied.
(Has anyone every seen Jon Bon Jovi and Ellen DeGeneres in the same room? I didn't think so.)
Tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays travel to Angels Stadium in Anaheim to take on the Los Angeles Angels. Before the season began, this looked like the kind of series you might see MLB Network or ESPN pick up for national coverage. Two teams loaded for playoff bear, ready to take on the established order of the American League. The kind of teams who might look to add a key piece as the just-passed non-waiver trade deadline with that final playoff push in mind.
Instead, there are two teams going nowhere. NO. WHERE. Two teams with nearly identical records: seven games under .500 for the Jays, an amazing ten games below for the Angels. Two teams looking to shed soon-to-be free agents and gear up for next season. Two potential trade partners in their own special way…
How could this happen? Where did I all go wrong to the Jays and Halos?
I'm back? What'd I miss? Anything? Anything at all?
In a way, the answer to that is "no". The Angels are actually worse off than they were when I'd left them for dead back in mid-June. When I left for tour they were 11 games back, mostly impossible to watch, and now they're 14 games back, entirely impossible to watch and wholly infuriating.
On the other hand, the answer is "Yes. Lots." Apparently the Dodgers can't lose now? Wonderful. They went 21-6 while I was on the road. 21-6! Apparently throwing money at things only works if you throw ALL OF THE MONEY at ALL OF THE THINGS (and if people get healthy and Hanley Ramirez rediscovers the cheat code that he had in 2009).
As it turns out, you can't just throw ungodly amounts of cash at big-ticket Free Agents without addressing glaring needs in your team's rotation and bullpen. Weird how that works, eh Arte Moreno?
Before we jump back into this mess, I must extend a massive thanks to my man Ian Miller for showing just how much of a hack I am by writing fantastic Battle Of The Bay columns in my absence. Not only did he keep you all thoroughly entertained, but he took the template I cobbled together over the first 13 weeks of the season and made it much better. The bar has been raised. I just hope I can reach it.
It is going to be an annual debate until it happens. Either the Angels are going to do what they must to get Mike Trout signed long-term or he will walk into free agency at 26 (!), potentially staring at the richest contract in the game's history.
Last August, Kevin Goldstein (then of Baseball Prospectus, now of the Houston Astros) polled the baseball industry and asked what kind of deal front office types would offer Mike Trout at that time. Getting Blanked opened the discussion on our hallowed pages and the consensus was "whatever" he wants", also a pull-quote from Goldstein's piece.
Now 11 months have passed and the question is no less terrifying than it was at that time: what kind of deal does Mike Trout deserve?
You've heard it on broadcasts or you see it on Twitter. Some baseball pundit, trying to fill air time says something silly and/or asinine along the lines of "home runs kill rallies." The belief, largely held among former players, hinges on the idea that clearing the deck of base runners gives the pitcher a break, allowing him to refocus and get the job done with a blank slate.
Never mind that the runs are already on the board, nothing is worse than a rally.
It is, of course, bunk. Scoring runs is the name of the game. Homers ensure runs score every time, without fail. It is about the best use of your limited, precious outs.
The Los Angeles Angels are a team built to hit home runs and, as a direct result of said dingers, score in bunches. That's pretty much their whole thing, with Mike Trout and Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo and some guy named Josh stacking their lineup.
Last night, rather than utilize the home run to their advantage, the Angels dinked and dunked and singled the Detroit Tigers to death – though the Tigers did themselves no favours thanks to their six errors on the night. The Halos won 14-8, representing their single highest run scoring output of the season. The Angels did so on 16 hits – only two of which went for extra bases in the form of doubles by JB Shuck and Albert Pujols.
This was…an unusual night of offense, to say the least.

Pfizer announced Tuesday that for the first time, it will launch new advertising that targets women. In the new 60-second ad, a middle-aged woman reclining on a bed in a tropical setting addresses the problems couples encounter when a man is impotent.
"I believe Pfizer has been relatively inactive on the direct-to-consumer-advertising (DTCA) front while Cialis has been flooding the airwaves," said Abhik Roy, professor of advertising and chair of marketing and advertising in the School of Business. "Viagra was overdue for a new DTCA campaign. Rather than go the same old creative route they are trying something different, which is smart. They might get more return for their advertising dollars with this creative strategy."

The video on this site http://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/projects/basics/how-to-hand-pollinate-hellebores/147.html seeems to be the wrong one - it relates to pruning with a different presenter.
Berghill 12/01/2013 at 17:44
The only reason you might need to cross pollinate Hellebores is if you are attempting to creat a seed strain of your own. I have never bothered and the seed set for us is phenominal, to the extent that we have to dead head or become overwhelmed with the self sown plants.

Wet Hen Café's story revolves around poultry, from the origin of its name to its owners' 25 clucking pets to its menu items. Buoyed by backgrounds in the restaurant business, Jackie and Don Handlin work with their son and sous chef Brandon to craft a menu of light sandwiches, soups, and breakfast meals. Named after the idiom "madder than a wet hen," Wet Hen Café churns out quiche dotted with spinach, feta, and cranberry, sandwiches layered with black forest ham, jack cheese, and brown mustard, and, of course, hearty chicken soup. The café supports local merchants by hanging and selling original artwork and selling craft honey and Blind Dog coffee.
Nixeria Health's Green Coffee Bean Extract contains a proprietary blend of the antioxidant resveratrol, African Mango, and a minimum of 50% chlorogenic acid. Together, these ingredients help preserve the body's natural antioxidants while also promoting weight loss. The supplements are taken twice daily.
Reno's premier MMA Training center. Full 20 ft octogan with catwalk and full size boxing ring. 1000 sq ft dedicated mat space for BJJ and judo along with 1400 sq ft wrestling/grappling mat. 10000 sq ft of total training space. Full class schedule covering boxing, muay thai, bjj, and wrestling.
For the staff at Music Fuze, making music more accessible doesn't just mean selling and repairing instruments. It also means helping people form a deeper connection to music, no matter how much talent or experience they possess. With that in mind, the shop's talented instructors schedule everything from individual music lessons for beginners to a three-month training program for rockers who want to learn how to play in a band. The staff also opens their shop's doors for kids' birthday parties, allowing youngsters to fiddle with instruments and practice their Grammy acceptance speeches during karaoke sessions.
Kimberly fits right in with the team of professional stylists, aestheticians, and nail technicians at Tuscany Salon. After all, her menu of microdermabrasion treatments and anti-aging facials aligns with the salon's stated mission to make clients look and feel their very best. But Kimberly learned long ago that using the latest spa technology to achieve stunning results isn't enough. That's why she takes the time to listen to her clients and craft treatments that address their unique skin concerns.

R2-D2 Yoga Pants Are Something Jedi and Sith Can Both Appreciate
I'd like to think if Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were in the midst of a massive Lightsaber duel and Princess Leia walked by wearing R2-D2 yoga pants, they would do the right thing and stop to admire her booty. Darth would be all like "The booty is strong with that one." I think most women know the appreciation the men in their lives have for yoga pants, which are in all honesty perhaps the greatest invention in the history of clothing.
The only way you can drive your guy more crazy than wearing yoga pants is to wear yoga pants that look like R2-D2. These yoga pants are blue, black, and grey with R2-D2's done on the front and the back on each hip. Down the right leg is the design that adorns the droid's body.
I think R2 would throw out a wolf whistle when Leia walked by wearing these. You can get a pair for $39.99(USD) in sizes small through XXXL at ThinkGeek.

I know they have a messed up family dynamic, but I really hope Luke and Vader wouldn't admire their, respective, sister/daughter like that. Yikes.

Legend Of Tug Hill Annie
People report seeing a headless woman wandering down the side of a nearby road.
When Disney bought George Lucas' company, they got more than the buildings, computers, droids, and the 'Star Wars' intellectual property. They also got George Lucas' unused ideas for future 'Star Wars' movies. Though Lucas had insisted for years that 'Revenge of the Sith' was his final 'Star Wars' film, that didn't stop him from brainstorming a few other potential stories that could be set after the events of 'Return of the Jedi' (and, I assume, mostly involve Jar-Jar Binks wandering the universe and getting into "hilarious" misadventures).
Just in time for Valentine's Day - it's divorce season. Seems like Celebs are splitting up left and right, including Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams, and Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian.
No one wants to get sick, but it happens. When we do get sick, most of the time we're paying attention on how to get better and we forget to watch out for other people.
If Facebook was born in 1995...
You can soon get wasted away at Margaritaville. The restaurant/bar, on the third floor of Destiny USA, has set an opening date.
Jimmy Fallon's 'Lip Flip' must be stopped. It has to end. Sure, the technology that drives this particular 'Tonight Show' segment is vaguely impressive (there are lips! and then they get flipped!), and Fallon and his various guests appear to have a good time pretending to talk out of each other's mouths, but the final execution is so terrifying, so weird, that it can only do one thing: cause nightmares.
Sorry, Star-Lord. Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was just passed by 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' as the highest grossing film of 2014. And, making that feat all the more impressive: 'Mockingjay' reached that mark in just 62 days, without the help of 3D or IMAX.
A museum conservator claimed that the famous Egyptian artifact was damaged after it was being cleaned at the museum.
CBS 'Supergirl' recently revealed a more procedural format that had many fans worried about the series, but the casting of Kara Zor-El should leave all positively 'Glee'-ful. Melissa Benoist will don a cape and tights for the title role in CBS' 'Supergirl' series, chronicling the adventures of Superman's cousin.
Congratulations to Kelly and her co-workers at Med-Care Administrators in Marcy who are our latest Workplace of the Week winners.
When discussing the folklore of the paranormal, and the evolution of historical fact into myth, we tend to look towards the long term. Events that happened in the 1700's evolve to become something more than they ever were, facts blurred by the passage of time.

Whether you have a playful Sun Conure that amuses you by performing tricks, an American Singer Canary that entertains you with enchanting songs, or an affectionate Pearl Cockatiel that never fails to greet you, you understand the importance of proper bird care. As many pet parents know, proper nutrition plays a vital role in keeping your pets healthy and happy. When it comes to birds, there is a large selection of bird food available in order to accommodate the differing nutritional needs of various bird species. In addition, giving your bird food that is meant for another type of bird may not meet your pet bird's specific needs for nutrition and taste preference. As the dietary and feeding needs of a pair of young Society Finches will differ from a senior African Grey's nutritional requirements and food preferences, it's important to give your pet bird seed and food blends that are intended. This is why there is parrot food that has been specifically formulated for parrots, while there are blends and mixes available for cockatiels, parakeets and other types of birds. Promote the health, vitality and longevity of your pet birds today with the nutritious bird seed blends that they enjoy.
Specifically formulated to promote optimal health for parrots, Lafeber's Nutri-Berries Parrot Food meets a parrot's nutritional requirements, while also providing parrots with the delicious ingredients they love. This parrot food can also serve as a healthy and tasty treat and it is has received positive reviews from other pet parents. Meanwhile, there is also Kaytee Fiesta Max Bird Food for Parrots, which is formulated to promote optimal digestion and contains a variety of fruits and vegetables that parrots cannot resist. Developed for the health of baby birds, there is Kaytee Exact Hand Feeding Formula for All Baby Birds, which is a special bird food that helps with proper growth and development of baby birds. For parakeets and lovebirds, there is Kaytee Exact Rainbow Premium Daily Nutrition for Parakeets & Lovebirds. Unique from many other bird seed food blends, this special formula consists of fun rainbow nuggets that promote better feathering and brighter colors, while it also helps birds maintain excellent health. Whether you have a pair of cockatiels, a family of finches or even a handful of urban chickens, provide your fine feathered friends with the food that will keep them clucking, chirping, singing or talking happily and contently.

The Tuscany region
The Upper Valdarno is a large natural trough, enclosed by the mountains of Pratomagno and the Chianti Mountains. In the Middle Ages, the valley was long disputed between Florence and Arezzo, and today its provinces are divided between the two capitals. Numerous archeological finds of Etruscan and Roman period bear witness to the population of these areas already in the Archaic period.
The Valdarno has many landscapes, the high slopes of Pratomagno and the main storical centers of Montevarchi, San Giovanni Valdarno and Terranova Bracciolini. Many sites to visit, the Cassia Vetus, the ancient road that connected the lucumony of Arezzo to Fiesole, "The Cliffs", a spectacular landscape with beautiful clay erosion. Along the road "Setteponti ", the Roman Bridge Buriano of 1200. Leonardo da Vinci himself, excited at the sight of these places, chose them as the background of his most famous work, the Mona Lisa. Places of interest are also Parish Church of St. Peter in Gropina (National Monument), Laterina, Montozzi Castle, Cennina Castle, Montebenichi, Bucine, Il Borro, Galatrona tower, the Nature Reserves, The Park of Cavriglia and "The woods of Friars", the Botanical Rose Garden Fineschi, the Monumental Arboretum in Moncioni, the Museum of Paleontology of Montevarchi.
Pergine Valdarno
The area is full of nice restaurants that offer either the typical Tuscan cuisine or Pizza.
Supermarket, bank, pharmacy, food stores and grocery are in Laterina and Pergine Valdarno only 3 km from the house.

"Beautiful location, great facilities and friendly hosts!"
We really enjoyed our time at Poggianto! It was the perfect basis to explore Tuscany - a short drive away from Florence, Siena and the hill towns. The house is also within walking distance of a lovely stretch of the Arno river. The apartment is like new - and absolutely spotless. The children loved the pool! We thank Marina and Alessio for their friendliness and hospitality!

"A relaxed, remote-feeling place, with easy access to interesting places"
We were welcomed and shown around very nicely, and when we needed anything the owners were very quick to do all they could. It was phenomonenly hot when we arrived, and Alessio went straight out to buy some fans for our bedrooms when we said we couldn't cope with the heat.
There are seven apartments at this property, and because of the layout, you can be as private as you like, and stay on your own veranda or invite people over; At the swimming pool, each apartment has its own set of loungers and shades: I found this a bit proscriptive at first, being told where we had to sit, but in fact it worked very well and made things more relaxed, because there was never a scramble for loungers. People got to know each other at the pool, and there was a quiet friendly atmosphere which allowed for chat or not, as you pleased.
The apartment was very spacious, though the upstairs bathroom was on the small side, and was very clean and neat, with plenty of areas to sit in, and to entertain if you wanted to.
Our main problem was with the beds - they were incredibly hard and we all, even the children, got backache. We also needed more pillows: only one thin one each felt not very luxurious.
The kitchen was well designed and equipped, though we did need a couple of wooden spoons, as there was nothing to stir food with properly!
The location is great: the little village of Laterina is great to visit for little shops and a coffee in the morning; Arezzo is not far away, and it's less than an hour to Siena. You get to the property by driving for five minutes down a dirt track, so it feels quite wild, and there is a lovely view when you get there.
It was a nice touch having a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival.
We are very sorry that our guest did not find the beds comfortable, because the mattresses are new and of excellent quality. No other client pointed out this discomfort. More pillows are at disposal on request and we'll be happy to supply them if needed.

Kids want to be writers. But no one wants to be an "okay" writer. Teachers want all of their students to be the best writers they can be! Great writing starts with great sentences.
For this sentence building/learning activity, arrange young writers in groups of two or three. Each student will need a dry-erase board and Crayola Dry-Erase Crayons.
Ask each child to write a simple three-word sentence across the top of the board. Model a sample sentence on an individual dry-erase board so students can see both the content and appropriate letter size for their own writing. For example a simple sentence might be, "The pony ran."
Invite students to exchange dry-erase boards with other members of their groups. Each student can rewrite the original sentence, adding or changing one thing to expand (not change) its meaning. Model an example of expanding meaning by rewriting the sample sentence so it now reads, "The pony galloped." Show children how you wrote the new sentence directly below the original sentence.
Children can continue exchanging boards to build better and better sentences that may include adjectives and adverbs. After several sentence changes, allow children to add a three-word prepositional phrase if they want to. Model an example, "The pony galloped across the field."
Continue this activity for a set amount of time or until there is no more room to rewrite sentences on the dry-erase boards.
Invite each child to read aloud the original, three-word, simple sentence and the final expanded sentence. Discuss how adding descriptive words and phrases improved the way a reader can imagine the meaning of the sentence. Invite children to depict the meaning of the final sentence in an illustration using Crayola Markers on drawing paper.

Jaguar Land Rover has launched a "Cycle to Work" scheme as part of a sustainability strategy to encourage employees to take a greener approach to travelling to work. The scheme will provide employees with the opportunity to make savings on the cost of a new cycle and safety equipment, which will be achieved by taking advantage of income tax and national insurance contributions savings through a salary sacrifice agreement.
The company has chosen an organisation called Cyclescheme as partners to the initiative.
Cyclescheme are a specialised service provider who work closely with a network of local retailers and provide a bespoke support team to deal with employees' queries.
By choosing Cyclescheme Jaguar Land Rover will ensure that employees have the optimum choice of cycle brands.
The scheme is part of the Government's Green Travel Plan and to participate employees will undertake a hire agreement paying either a weekly or monthly amount, which will be deducted from their salary prior to normal tax and NI deductions.
Roadshows will take place across Jaguar Land Rover sites during the month of August to support employees with the application and ordering process.
Des Thurlby, HR director said, "We are delighted to be able to launch the Cycle to Work scheme at Jaguar Land Rover. As well as making a contribution to reducing our carbon footprint, cycling to work is a healthier option and we hope this scheme will inspire employees to think all the time about sustainability and the environment."

Jaguar has probably held a privileged position among premium brands in the UK in that because it is British, customers may be more prepared to overlook little problems with the cars.The cars themselves certainly come with a 'feel-good factor', well equipped for the money and with stylish exteriors and interiors.Updates to the XJ and XF range have kept sales treading water while the new car market has improved, while the introduction of the F-Type Roadster in 2013 and the F-Type Coupé this year have certainly grabbed worldwide attention.Next on the horizon is a BMW 3 Series rival called the XE, which will be crucial to increase Jaguar's presence in the business car sector, and it will be offered with a new 2.0-litre diesel engine developed in house.Hi-tech lightweight aluminium construction will put it at the top of the class for low CO2 emissions, and rear-wheel drive will also keep driving enthusiasts happy.

Several years ago, 4x4s were treated as a menace by some in the national media. Then the recession took hold, which could have spelled disaster for a four-wheel drive specialist, such as Land Rover.But its foray into front-wheel drive SUVs, first with the Freelander, then with the ultra-successful Range Rover Evoque seem to have attracted new customers to the brand. Dealers, it seems, love it, with very high ratings in the NFDA Dealer Attitude Survey.In the past 18 months, the two larger Range Rover models have been renewed with new, lighter aluminium vehicles, while Land Rover is seeking to capitalise on the Range Rover's appeal as a bona fide luxury saloon alternative with a long-wheelbase version.With registrations approaching 55,000 in 2013, and this year's total looking likely to reach 60,000, all eyes will be on 2015 as the Discovery family is set to grow, adding a smaller model to replace the Freelander, while we should get our first glimpse of the long-awaited Defender replacement.
