fresh and wonderful rabbit
By: lin ladato (Mar 26, 2013)
The rabbit I got from Denise was absolutely wonderful. The liver was like butter, would make a fabulous pate. It is always a pleasure doing business with her and her husband. Their animals and farm are well cared for. Oh, and the duck eggs, what a treat!

Awesome eggs!
By: (Jul 7, 2012)
I have been doing a CSA with Denise and her family for over a year. Not only are they very obliging to work with our schedule, they are always very pleasant. And the eggs...they are amazing! I love seeing all the different colors that we get and the taste is beyond belief. My husband (who is a huge egg fan) won't even eat eggs out anymore because they completely lack in taste and texture. I would recommend Home on the Range Family Farm for anyone in the area that wants great eggs and service.

ATLANTA, July 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cbeyond, Inc. (Nasdaq:CBEY), the technology ally for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), today shared its top five tips to help businesses secure critical information, maintain business continuity and ensure ongoing productivity. These guidelines, part of Cbeyond's "Technology Ally" best practices series, are designed to help SMBs better communicate the benefits of securing information when addressing employees and customers in particular.
- As day-to-day operations of most SMBs would suffer significantly from a serious security incident, Cbeyond recommends the following five best practices: Understand the Importance of Your Data. Recognizing the consequences of compromised or lost data is the foundation for taking the necessary steps to protect it. Imagine what would happen if your employees did not have access to your data, or worse, if your competitors did. The benefits of securing data include mitigating risk, curbing loss and costs, maintaining reputation, and keeping customers – as well as potentially offering a differentiator from competitors.
- Consider the Benefits and Risks of Deploying New Technology. Be cautious when considering new technologies, and account for the benefits as well as the risks of implementation. As a rule of thumb, be wary of anything touted as a "convenience technology." Examine new practices such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and remote connectivity, and develop a formal policy as necessary. According to the Summer 2013 Cbeyond Business Leader Snapshot™ , 22 percent of business leaders surveyed stated they have developed a BYOD policy to address data access through personal devices such as tablets and smart phones, among others. Do your research and, when in doubt, consult with a qualified, reputable technology firm that knows the SMB landscape.
- Pay Attention to Security Basics. Many security issues can be avoided by simply following basic procedures. Create strong passwords and regularly patch applications and systems. Be skeptical of what you do and see on the web and always err on the side of caution. Because many SMBs do not have an IT department, seek out a vendor with relevant expertise to provide the technical support required to meet your business' security needs.
- Encourage Employees to Exercise Caution. Employees are at the front lines of the security battle. Every employee represents a potential opportunity for your data or systems to be compromised or leaked, even unintentionally, if they are not aware of their responsibilities in helping maintain security. Your employees should not visit unsafe websites, open emails of unknown origin, or trust strangely worded emails just because they come from acquaintances or customers. Encourage employees to reach out when in doubt; they should feel empowered to ask questions regarding security when a potential issue arises.
- Implement a Formal Security Policy. To take general security awareness to a formalized level, implement a written security policy and update it at least once a year. Continue security education as your business implements new technologies and as employees are involved with changing technologies. Talk with your customers about security to help them understand its importance to both parties. As a business owner, you need to ensure your employees and customers are educated on your policies: knowledge and communication around your procedures are key.
"When it comes to securing business information, taking the proper precautions on the front-end is well worth the time and effort," said Jeff Jenkins, director of information security at Cbeyond. "If your business does not have the in-house resources, it's critical to consult with a technology ally who can provide the insight and support needed to secure your data and maintain operations."

Heartlight (game)

First level of Heartlight |
Developer(s) | xLand Games |
Publisher(s) | Epic MegaGames |
Platform(s) | DOS |
Release date(s) |
Genre(s) | Puzzle game |
Mode(s) | Single-player |
Distribution | 3½-inch floppy disk |
Heartlight is a puzzle game originally developed by Janusz Pelc for 8-bit Atari in 1990.[1] In 1994, an MS-DOS port (Heartlight PC) was published by Epic MegaGames along with two other games by Janusz Pelc in the Epic Puzzle Pack. The shareware version contained 20, the full version (Heartlight Deluxe) 70 levels. In 2006, Maciej Miąsik, co-author of the DOS version, recompiled it and released it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license.[2][3]
The game is set up on a 12x20-square grid. Some of the levels make full use of the space, others fill unused space with a moving background. The game is played as from the side (unlike some bird-eye-view puzzle games), with gravity playing an important part.
The object of the game is to help Percival, the elf character you guide with your keyboard, collect all the hearts on each level and get to the door. Different objects with unique characteristics aim to make reaching this goal more complex.
Unlike many computer games, Heartlight is neither timed nor limited to a certain number of lives. However, there is no Save feature, so under the original DOS environment you lose your place if you quit to do something else. You can restart the level by pressing Esc as many times as you wish, and in most levels you can sit and study them before beginning.
However you don't have to replay each level when returning to this game. You can advance to a different level by holding down the space bar and using either of the left or right direction arrows on the keyboard. The game will work on a modern operating system under DOSBox.
Objects in play[edit]
Basic objects you will see on almost every level include bombs, rocks, and hearts. While hearts are one of the goals, they can also fall on and kill Percival. Bombs blow up when squashed or dropped on a hard surface. Rocks squash Percival and can blow up bombs. There are several other objects that you come across while playing the game, and the only way to learn about them is to experiment. Several kinds of walls and empty space also have unique properties that must be tested.
Heartlight plays a looping track of music along with sound effects for interactions with objects. Hearts falling make a "tink" noise, rocks clunk when they fall on hard objects, and the door creaks when it opens, for example.
Similar games[edit]
Heartlight has been compared to other popular puzzle games such as Boulder Dash and Supaplex.
The game was later released as part of the Epic Puzzle Pack (with Robbo and Electro) which was reviewed in 1994 in Dragon #206 by Sandy Petersen in the "Eye of the Monitor" column. Petersen gave the compilation 3 out of 5 stars.[4]

"Bad Street" is the first single from Twin Sister's Domino debut LP, and also the Long Island band's first "big budget" video. The clip's directed by Dan Devine and produced by Daniel Gausman and depicts the bad house and bad street singer Andrea Estella's singing about — her family home in Long Island where, as she told me at Pitchfork Festival, there were often parties thrown by the Salvadorian and Puerto Rican families nearby, pooling funds for collaborative, suped up fiestas. It's an hommage to her childhood shot in the place she grew up, with band and family friends, piñatas, and a proper Quinceañera house party vibe, soundtracked by the track's sassed-out yet languid funk strut.

U.S. Edition
If your children are throwing temper tantrums because sleep seems unappealing, consider that it may be OK to let them stay up a little longer, as long as bedtime happens around the same time every night.
A new study suggests that consistency of young children's bedtime is associated with positive performance on a variety of intellectual tests. The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
"If the child prefers to go to sleep a little bit later, but it's done regularly, that's still OK for them, according to the evidence," said Amanda Sacker, professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London.
The study
Researchers looked at information about bedtimes and standardized test scores for more than 11,000 children who were part of the UK Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative study of children in the United Kingdom.
The Millennium Cohort Study followed children when they were aged 3, 5 and 7, and included regular surveys and home visits. Researchers asked parents about family routines such as bedtimes.
Children also took standardized tests in math, reading and spatial abilities when they were 7 years old.
Researchers controlled for socioeconomic status in addition to other factors such as discipline strategies, reading to children and breakfast routines.
The results
The study found that, in general, consistent bedtimes were linked to better performance across all subject areas. This was especially true for 7-year-old girls, regardless of socioeconomic background - they tended to do worse on all three intellect measurements if they had irregular bedtimes. Boys in this age group did not show the effect.
In both girls and boys, non-regular bedtimes at age 3 were linked with lower test scores, but not at age 5.
Bedtimes that had never been consistent for girls at ages 3, 5, and 7 were associated with lower scores than regular bedtimes. For any two of these ages, boys also tended to do worse on the tests if they didn't go to sleep at a routine time.
These results "showed that it wasn't going to bed late that was affecting child's development, it was the irregular bedtimes that were linked to poorer developmental scores," Sacker said.
Why did girls appear to be more strongly affected by irregular bedtimes than boys? "It might be that girls are more susceptible to elements of the psychosocial environment than boys, and hence also more easily perturbed by inconsistent bedtime schedules," the study authors wrote.
Sacker and colleagues had initially suspected that late bedtimes would also be associated with poor cognitive test performance, but this turned out to not matter, when other factors such as socioeconomic status were controlled for.
Researchers found that, in general, children who had irregular bedtimes or went to bed after 9 p.m. tended to come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds than other study participants. These were the children more likely to be from poor homes and have mothers with poorer mental health. They were also less likely to have breakfast and be read to daily.
The study used a large group of participants but still only draws correlations, not causes. It is not proof that irregular sleep is a direct driver of lower test scores.
Also, information about bedtimes came from parents' self-reporting, and were not independently verified.
Researchers also did not assess the length of sleep that the children typically had. Parents reported on what time their children went to bed or whether there was no regular bedtime, but did not state exactly how much sleep they received.
The answers to the questions of exactly what represents a "regular" bedtime - is it OK to vary lights-out by an hour? A half an hour? - are still unknown.
There are a few possible explanations for the observations in the study. One is that children with an irregular bedtime may not be getting good quality sleep. Also, the body's circadian rhythms can be disrupted when a person doesn't have consistent sleep schedules.
Each day, as environmental stimuli influence changes in the brain, we need sleep to allow fresh learning for the day to come, according to the study. Cognitive impairment and lack of concentration are two possible consequences of limited or disrupted sleep. Given the importance of childhood development, study authors say, low-quality sleep in this critical period could have long-term health effects.
The study supports other research showing that adults also benefit from having consistent bedtimes.
"It not only helps with what's gone on the day before, but it also sets you in good stead for the day to come," Sacker said.
That makes it worth finding a consistent time to tuck in the little ones - and yourself.

So that means daylight savings time is bad for kids. Maybe that can make it go away forever (or stay year round – I don't care which, just pick one).
No, it doesn't mean that at all because the cycle of events that a child goes through remains the same with only a minor adjustment at the DST time changes.
Tom, I don't know where you live, but around the solstice, the sun rises at 5:30 a.m. – if we didn't have DST, it'd be 4:30 a.m. I don't want the sunlight hitting my eyes that early. And yeah, I can close the blinds, but why sleep through 2 hours of daylight when I don't have to get up until 6:30 a.m.? I'd prefer the extra hour of daylight when I come home from work and can mow my lawn, swim in my pool, ride my bike, grill my dinner. What's your problem with DST?
That's why we should be on DST all year round
Excuse me, but I am a single mother, I work late. I support my children, they see their father. We read to them, and guess what I feed them breakfast, lunch, and EVEN supper. WOW. That's more than I can say for some married couples that raise kids together. Start a new study to make people feel down on themselves. How about, people who do studies have nothing better to do.
Ah – read the article again – it really does not have anything to do with single parenting. Just whether kids do or do not have regular bed times. Maybe you should consider that – it might help with your comprehension.
I applaud you for being a single mother, but I think this is just saying how regular sleep times are useful. You can try to imploy them best you can.
Did you even read the article or just bristle and puff and talk about being a single mom because you saw an article with "kids" in it?
You are not a single mother – you are a divorced mother BIG DIFFERENCE.
What a shock, consistency is good for kids. Color me unimpressed with this study.
To all those parents dragging their cranky kids to Walmart at 11 pm, "Shame on you!". This article accurately describes the 'type' of parents that do it.
This is an example of how to do science writing well. My first reaction on reading the headline and the first two paragraphs was, 'well, parents who put their kids to bed consistently are just better organized parents in general, doesn't mean the bedtime is causative.'
But the writer answers this question, "Researchers controlled for socioeconomic status in addition to other factors such as discipline strategies, reading to children and breakfast routines." So, maybe there IS something to regular bedtimes....
Thanks for addressing the question in your write-up.
You're welcome! Thanks for the compliment and for reading!
Elizabeth Landau, CNN
I was thinking the same thing. Certainly not conclusive evidence but at least this was presented in a way that gives some clear meaning.
Good luck with that! The Powers That Be of the NWO have known about this for years. Coupled with video games, rap music and a host of other subliminal techniques, the average American child is doomed to self destructive behavior that they don't even understand. Think more... Follow less... The truth is out there!
Its a BS study because the parents that have rigid bed times are more likely to be rigid when it comes to studying and school. Its pretty obvious that the parent that lets their kid sleep whenever they want will most likely not be as disciplined when it comes to course work.
Once again a bogus study that proves nothing scientific
You now what doesn't prove anything scientific? Sheer speculation.
"Researchers controlled for socioeconomic status in addition to other factors such as discipline strategies, reading to children and breakfast routines."
Science is just whatever you decide it to be. Learning about science requires good reading comprehension and an open mind.
"now" should be corrected to, "know"
"Science is just whatever you decide it to be." should be, "Science isn't just whatever you decide it to be."
Kids-at least in the US-have a lot more today to stimulate them than past generations: x box, WI, Cell phones which now supply more than phone service. My wife & I have had our 4 grandkids-12 to 4 yrs-as well as their mom, living w/us the past 5 yrs. I agree w/this study, because kids have more on their shoulders than ever before as well.
I don't know whether I agree that irregular bedtimes contribute to poor intellectual performance, I'm leaning towards disagreeing with this study. I will say however that I was a child that had extremely irregular bedtimes. I could sleep whenever I wanted to and get up whenever I wanted to, so long as I went to school everyday. I was very much a straight A student in school, I actually enjoyed going and did well, school was great for me and I think the confidence it helped me develop actually helped me be more of an intellect (not to say that I'm a sanctimonious know-it-all), but sure, I was a smart kid. The biggest problem with irregular bedtimes has nothing to do with intellect but DISCIPLINE! I learned no discipline because of the freedom I had in choosing when I wanted to sleep. I am not a parent but will make sure that any kids I have one day will follow a strict bedtime, because it's damn hard learning and teaching yourself discipline as an adult! Having these little routines really does help in the overall personal development of a child I believe, no matter how little you think they are. Man I wish my parents would have been stricter when I was a kid!
What would have made this more valuable to parents would be if the variance on beditmes was included. Is this a consistent bedtime within a 15-minute window? 30-minutes? 1 hour? I'd like to believe I'm consistent with bedtime, but how are the researchers defining consistency?
Maybe children with regular bedtimes live in more structured and supportive environments leading to higher test scores while irregular bedtimes may suggest a lack of stability. Is it the sleep or the environment? Or is it all a bunch of malarkey?
yep..agree with you presumption...
Another non-scientific study which isn't worth the bits it is comprised of.
The thing is that a resourceful youngster will find a way to get TV after bed. When I was a youngster, I would merely turn on the TV in my bedroom, but turn down the sound and picture, and then listen to the audio through a police band receiver I had, tuned to about 38Mhz, and my parents were never the wiser. Just stick an earplug in an ear and listen.
In short, children will become resentful about early bedtimes. I know I was.
This is why you are not supposed to have a TV in your bedroom. Though I agree about kids being resourceful: I used to try reading by the moonlight.
I used to try to read after bedtime also. I had a strict bedtime. I tested well throughout school even though I have a severe learning disability. A routine helped me throughout school and even as an adult.
This one goes in the NSS (No Sh** Sherlock) file.
This is news? Money was spent to study this? Any parent that doesn't inherently know that regular bedtimes are better for kids should be sterilized. Morons.
Sanjay is a effin genius. Why didn't someone else think of this? How can we miss you if you won't go away.

Follow-Up Postings:
Keep the faith ;-) Give 'em a couple o'more weeks at least. If & when they do become active they'll make up for lost time! Are you new to the forums? If so, "Welcome!", it's good to have another on board. Nelson |
Yes! New as can be. I have been reading posts and decided to take the plunge. Thanks for the welcoming words. I planted three new Lantana plants last weekend (even gave them their own new "garden"), which tarnished my patience to see buds from the existing plants. |
My lantana has only been showing new leaves for a couple of weeks now. I feel sure your lantana will be sporting green soon. |
It's my understanding that lantana may or may not decide to be hardy in your area. Several plantings that I've observed in this area have about a 50% survival rate. Be patient. Luckily, lantana is inexpensive enough to be replanted just like your favorite annuals. |

Paulette, Thanks for the email offer, and also thanks for the news on the lantanas - I too have been worried about mine - it was huge the last couple of years, and no sign of life so far, but maybe it'll show soon. I think i MAY pull the leaves/mulch out from around it this weekend and "snoop" for signs of life. Gotta run to bed now. Rosemary |
I have heard not to give up on Lantanas until May. Last year, mine reappeared in March, but I believe it was warmer overall last March than it has been this year. Try to find 'Miss Huff' if you want the most reliable returning variety for North Alabama. |
I have about 20 of them that come back every year, but they are late coming up. As I was walking around today, I saw the first bit of life on just one of them. I say give them a few more weeks before you even think about worrying about it. We had a very mild winter. They should come through just fine. Deb |
I poked around the base of my lantana this weekend and saw the tiniest of new growth on two of them. Nothing yet on the third one, but I think it's just being stubborn. Thanks to you all for your kind words and encouragement! |
is there a way to divide the lantana or is it best to just leave it alone and let it do its own thing? i |
Queenbee if you are talking about the large growing lantan is is very easy to root or at least for me. I just take a cutting and stick it in a pot or in the ground where I can keep the soil moist until it roots. Right now I am digging up my low growing lavendar lantana. It wants to take over where I don't want it too. Multiplies like crazy. I am trying to give it away. |

Captain Luke Mayer, Music Maker Relief Foundation, Is StoryCorps' First Durham Interview
The StoryCorps Mobile Booth opens today. The first very first interview was between the musician Captain Luke Mayer, and Tim Duffy of the Music Maker Relief Foundation.
Captain Luke has a wonderful deep rich baritone. He came to music early in life. Music Maker has documented the story of his life and music:
Luther Mayer, known as "Captain Luke," was born in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1927. He grew up on his grandparents' farm in nearby Clinton, where he followed the furrows barefoot behind the plow as his Uncle Jesse worked and sang to his mule. Luke's ambition at the time was to learn to drive a mule. It was one he never achieved, but he soaked in the music of the countryside as Jesse played his harmonica on the evening porch... Early on he had developed a talent for imitation, and Luke began to sing the songs he heard on the radio, everything from the big band singers to hillbilly ballads. ("Back then I had eleventeen voices.") Read the whole story.
Captain Luke connected with Music Maker in 1991. The organization has helped fund many of his needs, things like transportation and prescriptions. Tim Duffy knows Captain Luke well and was thrilled to kick off the Story Corps Durham 2014 event.
After the two recorded their interview, they sat outside the booth and performed.

A girl on the ohio valley forum bought a house which came with a bunch of old hostas that are very overgrown and certainly have never been divided. Anyhow, she posted that she didn't want them so I went and picked them up (she lived very close to me). Now I have about 7 very large clumps of hostas (variegated and solid green, medium to small size) - no clue what kind they actually are. They are almost fully leafed out. They look a little ridiculous as the leaves are sooo crowded. I read the FAQ on how to divide hostas and I don't know if I should laugh or cry....there is NO WAY I could do that with these clumps. To be honest I inherited a similar clump from my brother last year and couldn't do a thing with it so I took a hacksaw (cringe) and cut the clump into 4. It was not a happy plant when I did that but all four of them are coming back fantastically this year. So not knowing a single thing about hostas...can I do this again and hope for the best or does anyone have a better suggestion. Thanks,Lyn |

Lyn, I read some of those FAQs and they are very incomplete. All hostas are not the same when it comes to dividing. Since your hostas as you said are very old, you must have plantagineas and several of the Undulatas. The plantagineas you can safely divide with a large axe. All others, if they are covered in wet dirt, try washing off as much as you can with a garden hose. If the soil is dry, try to knock of as much dirt as possible by pounding the plant a few times on the ground. Some hostas, like Tiaras, Ginko Craig and a few others can now be pulled apart wihtout effort. Most of the others require surgery. To that purpose use your fingers to locate a channel to apply your knife to. Make an incision about 1 to 2 inches from the top of the root base down. If you cut deeper, you will loose a lot of the all importand small roots. Now grab the two halves and start twisting them into opposite directions, in order to gradually pull them appart. |
If the clumps are growing in heavy soil, soak them for a day or two in a tub of cold water and then roll the clump over to pressure wash the dirt off. By the way, there is no hosta that hasn't been split (unless its the original plant that is still growing in Japan/China, or it's a hosta that was started from seed). :) Don |

The plants are in large clumps of very heavy clay soil. I could try to shake some of the dirt off...its pretty dry. I think soaking them might help with the rest. I really don't know what I'm doing but maybe if I get them cleaned up a bit and then take hostamanfred's advice I'll get through it. Will there be some kind of die back after I do this? Will they lose their leaves? |
I've always used a serrated kitchen knife to get through my clumps, but honestly, for some of these tough old birds, you could probably use a saw and it wouldn't matter. They'd come back looking good the next year (and wouldn't look too bad this year, either). To help you i.d. these guys: Hooijer's Hosta Undulata Explanations Tigger's Hosta Undulata Identification &mdash The Usual Suspects |
Use the saw! Just realize that clumps need some crown (the fleshy part) and some roots to grow well. Clumps that have minimal crown or roots may take awhile to thrive. Lots of water covers a multitude of conditions. |

whatttt?????? you said: They look a little ridiculous as the leaves are sooo crowded. that is kinda the whole point of a mature clump of hosta ... no need to EVER divide a clump .... unless you need the exercise ... but if you want to dig them up year after year ... feel free .. they are your hosta .... most hosta start looking ratty in august .... so that is a good time to dig and divide .. yes.. they will look like heck for the rest of the year ... but will be just peachy in spring ... dig up half the clump.. insert shovel.. jump on it until you get through it... then rip out half ... or quarter it ... or do surgery down to 1000 individual pieces ... as long as it has the leaves.. a piece of crown and a root .. it will probably grow .... or just throw them on the driveway and run them over a few time.. and plant the bits and pieces .. and you will have a 1000 new plants ... they are hosta.. you are going to have to try real hard to kill them ... good luck ken |

I guess I don't get the whole hosta thing then. I didn't really know "that was the whole point". I think the plants with several leaves that actually lay out are so pretty, but these clumps I have are so dense and crowded the leaves are standing straight up and are kind of curled in and I don't really find them attractive. But like I said, I am no hosta expert so I bow to your expertise. No I do not need the excercise and no I don't want to dig them up year after year for the fun of it....I just wanted to fix these clumps once before I planted them so they would look better. I suppose I don't understand why people divide hostas then.... hmmm... Much to learn. |
lynn, people divide Hostas to make more plants, to share with friends, or to trade. I can honestly say that I rarely ever divide anything, unless it's for trade, not that I haven't shared, and plenty. You also have to remember that it is very early in the year. Those clumps will eventually "lay down" a bit and look less crowded as summer looms upon us. It's really up to you. I love a mature crowded clump myself, but I also know of other people that actually prefer 3-4 divisions. |

I am wondering if the green and white are Undulatas. That's what I started with years ago. Didn't know the name then and didn't care--they were free and I had a lot of land to cover. A friend had a bunch to get rid of so we dug then put a shovel in the center jumped on it to split the huge clump and then split that in half again, They will never know what hit them. They can be a knarly mess when they get huge. That's what I would do. They are tough and should turn out fine. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 Adrian,MI (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 07 at 8:33
anyone have that link to the explanation of the undulata clan for her .... shape and form of the ultimate clump varies from cultivar to cultivar .... there is nothing you can do to make an inherently ugly clump a pretty clump .... but that ugly clump might have other functions .... the undulatas are nearly indestructible.. and can take a lot of sun .. depending how far south you are ... a giant clump of such might be divided down to very small pieces and used to line a 100 foot driveway ... for example .... whereas on the other hand.. a pretty clump my never multiply with such vigor ... in a few weeks the pix will start coming ... study each plant ... and note the ages .. the shapes.. the forms ... you will learn ... ken |
Lynn, I agree that is a matter of preference. I too like large mature clumps. My neighbor was just lamenting over his need to divide (again) all the clumps of undulatta in his yard. Do you want to make more individual plants to eventually cover more ground? Sounds like these are tough mature clumps that would withstand you going at them the way you did previously-- my tool of preference is a big sharp knife. M-A |
Maid Of Shade, look seven comments up — I already posted the Undulata identification links Ken mentioned. Go see. |
I feel compelled to say there are times the clump dies in the middle and looks terrible. That inspires dividing. I suppose it is not NECESSARY, as once they leafed out they looked ok, but they were my sister's and they were in her front yard. I dug, and pulled, chopped and divided. All is now pretty before and after unfurling. At my house dividing is almost constant because I am filling up two acres, and do not have the funds for all different ones. Plus the all green ones do nothing for my shady garden. |

Well in looking at those webpages, I think the closest match by picture is "Undulata Erromena mutation" although I think the edges are a smidge more yellow than white. The other one is solid green...not a blue green...kind of a limey green and pretty much the same size/leaf shape as the bicolored one. I don't really see a good picture of it on the webpage so still not really sure who he is. If it would ever stop raining I'd get out there and try to plant these things or at least take a picture of them and see what types you guys all think they are. Thanks for all the advice. - Lyn |

Here we are....the last month of the year! How did you fare this last year? Are you pretty happy with the quilting you were able to do? Of course, I didn't get as many UFO's completed as I wanted to, but I'm happy with what I did get done! Nine quilts were completed, most of them UFO's or using blocks that were already made. I'm working on the 10th and really hope to have it done this week. I'm not going to push myself this month, so..... 1. Finish the Cabin Warmer Other than that, I'll probably consider what UFO to do next. What cha got going this month around the sewing machine? SharonG/FL |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, this year has flown by! I know we say that every year. LOL We have a gazillion musical commitments this month, so between that and work I'm going to just keep plugging away on Bonnie's mystery quilt. When that's done (or I need a break from it) I need to make a baby quilt. Mark's coworker and his wife are expecting their first (also the boss's first grandbaby) in the summer. Donna |
I have an I Spy quilt that I just started quilting. The label that I embroidered for the quilt (at the beginning of this year) says 2012-2013, so I'm really trying to finish it this month. I suspect it may be January 2014 when the final stitch is placed. :) |
Hi everyone. I have been MIA for a while. Sometimes reality gets in the way of quilting! Like many others, I will be extra busy this month. I do have some quilt sandwich squares made and I hope to practice FMQ for at least 1/2 hr. every other day. Hope all of you have a wonderful month, ~Geraldine |
- Posted by quiltingfox (My Page) on Mon, Dec 2, 13 at 13:17
This year really has flown by!!! This month I would like to cut fabric for and hand piece 2 more saw tooth star pincushions for Christmas presents. If I actually get time to spend making granny square blocks that would be great - am going to use them to a make a floor quilt that can be stored until next decade when maybe I might be lucky and get grandbabies, LOL my son is only in elementary school, so this is wishful thinking on my part. - it will be a full-size quilt for me to keep. Best to you, |
I go into my sewing room every day and just stand there and look at it, soaking it in. It's where Wee Willie, my cat, inevitably ends up, napping on the edge of the mattress I stand against a wall and use for my design board. It is the brightest and cheeriest room of my house, and also the warmest and with the prettiest views. I have no plans for quilting yet..........I'm letting ideas and urges incubate until I get inspired. Nothing has grabbed me, and this is the woman who cranks out four or five a year and her routine is to start the morning off with my cuppa at a machine, even if to just make HSTs for future quilts. I miss playing touchy feely with my fabrics. |

It's been a tough fall but I have managed to get applique work done in my lap this past six weeks or so. I found that a good stretching exercise is leaning over to pin baste a quilt sandwich in the middle part. So, I am able to rationalize enough to get a few quilting things done. I have marked and pinned a quilt that is to be the gift of our little group to a friend who moved away. My job was to quilt it and they planned that for December when my shoulder allowed it. So, that is my plan. Then the designer announced she is using it in a magazine shoot - no pressure there. I still have hopes for a quilt for Mom by Xmas. If not, it will be done shortly after. I pick away on it bit by bit and once I get the top assembled I'll post a picture so all can see my therapy project. Hope it turns out well. I have a pile of Xmas fabrics here calling to me but don't know if I'll have time to work with them so that might be scratched off the list. Xmas sewing in January just doesn't seem the same. |
It's funny how four years ago quilting wasn't even part of my life and now I miss it if I can't sew a little everyday. For the rest of the year, I'll continue to make depression blocks for my DD's quilt. No rush to finish it as she says she is warm enough in bed. However, she said she needs it when she wants to cuddle up in front of the TV. I think using the queen size quilt back and forth will wear it out a lot faster, so I was thinking I could make a falling charms lap quilt this weekend and give it to her for Christmas. Doable? I made one of the four aprons I need for Christmas yesterday. Plan on doing one each day this week and having it done. That's all I'm planning on doing. |

WoooHooo, everybody! I have 3 more sides to bind on the Cabin Warmer and it'll be ready to take to the cabin this week-end. Cannot wait to see it hanging from the loft railing. :-) Donna, You have got a full schedule! We'll be lucky to even see you again before Christmas. lol Have a great week and just keep plugging away at whatever it is you want to finish. DH and I plan to go with DD, her DH and his parents to northern GA this week-end to see the cabin DD bought this summer. No TV and no internet, but there's a convenience store at the corner. It seems that 'the corner' is 3 miles away. lol SharonG/FL |

I am quilting a t-shirt quilt that a friend pieced this month and sandwiching a charity quilt for church. I want to make 4 tea-wallets and that will be it for me. Anything else will be a bonus! Sue |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Thu, Dec 12, 13 at 22:16
Guess y'all know we didn't get to the cabin because DH broke his knee-cap getting off of his motorcycle and had surgery a week ago today. He's been sitting in his chair and following orders....especially since he knows if he doesn't, he'll be sitting there longer than the 10-14 days! It took him a couple days and playing with the wheelchair and then the crutches and then decided he can get around easier using the walker. (It was actually kind of funny watching him) He sees the doctor in the morning so we'll see what's next. It's been quite a week and I'm exhausted! I did get some more pillowcases made but not nearly enough as I discovered I'll need 5 more than I had planned on. Have fabric cut for 6 more so maybe this coming week I'll have a few more minutes than I had last week and get them put together. :-) How's everyone else doing? We know LindaOH is busy rocking her new granddaughter, Samantha Grace. :-) SharonG/FL |
Still on my self-imposed holiday from quilting, but getting plenty of time in the sewing room. The paisley wall covering I never really liked, and what was a temporary fix to cover a bad paint job and wall-finishing work is down and the room is now a soft, inviting buttery yellow-gold. Still mulling it over in my mind what my next quilt will be. |
Oh, gosh, Sharon, I didn't know about your DH! I hope he's feeling better and the doctor appointment goes well. I've finished step 1 of Bonnie's mystery and made a very small dent in step 2. Step 3 was just published today. My plan for this weekend is to finish cutting the pieces for step 2 and do at least some of step 3. We are playing handbells at Disney tonight and Tuesday night, then at the military hotel at Disney next Friday night. We have a party tomorrow night, but other than that I should have most of the weekend to sew. (Unless I get roped into finishing painting the dining room.) Donna |
I've got all four aprons done and the falling charms is pieced and I'm working on creating the back. Probably no more sewing today, but hopefully will get it sandwiched at least this weekend. I hope to add a piano bench cover to my Christmas project list for my daughter. I was at a friend's house and she had an antique one. I have a quilt block I made 30 years ago and I had quilted the block but did not finish it. That was back when I had no idea what I was doing and, I couldn't decide whether to frame it or make something out of it, like a pillow. I'll try and incorporate that....seems like I still don't know what I am doing most of the time. LOL |

Sharon I feel bad for your husband breaking a knee cap, that just sounds awefully painful. You are probably right Sharon, once I get a lot of granny square blocks made I'll probably be repurposing them for something else, we'll see - hoping to make more blocks in 2014. I plan to just make a bunch and box them up and then when I get time to actually layout the top down the road then will put them up on my temporary design wall which I can't leave out all the time, because it hangs over the cabinets in the laundry room that we use every day. I have fabric cut for 2 more pincushions and have 1 of them half way sewn. S-I-L said she would try to make me 5 embroidery labels for my pincushion project this weekend. I'm gonna' be cutting it close getting both of them done, 'cause every time I sit at my desk to work on them I find myself back on the computer. Thankfully I have all of my Christmas shopping done. Bev I would love to see a pick of your falling charms quilt once you get it finished. Donna your hand bells playing sounds like fun. Hope everyone enjoys their holidays. Best to you, |
- Posted by quiltingfox (My Page) on Sat, Dec 21, 13 at 15:11
I am officially done making Christmas presents as I just finished sewing the embroidery labels on the pincushion Christmas presents. Yay I am actually done. Best to you and Merry Christmas, |

DH is doing well and is adamant about not going to any kind of PT. However, I'm hoping to convince him to go at least once or twice and then get a list of exercises to do. I know he'll do them at home. His pain tolerance is off the charts....he never took any kind of pain meds except for Ibuprofen once he left the hospital. We'll see about the PT when seeing the dr again in 3 weeks. Four more pillowcases to complete and then on to the backing for Great-grandson, Isaiah, due to arrive in February. Also, have a Falling Charms to complete for Major Abbi's DH. She is due back from deployment in April or May and then they'll be moving to her next station. She will be a Commanding Officer on her next appointment. That girl just keeps adding ribbons, or whatever it is they put on their jackets. Any thoughts about the new year? I hope to still keep on finishing up my UFO's and trying to make do with the fabric I have on hand, but I don't think I'll be as strict on myself as I was this year. SharonG/FL |
Today I just finished up the last of 49 star blocks for GS's quilt, Next will come sashing and cornerstones but that will have to wait until Jan. Table tidied up in preparation for company this week. Best wishes to all for a lovely holiday with family and friends. Theresa |

DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Men's
By far the most comfortable boots I've owned..
These Boots are top notch.. Not only are they super comfortable, but surprisingly light and Warm.
The Boa system works very well.. but do note that the internal "sock liner" is a traditional lace quick pull system; the boa controls the upper and lower boot tensions.
I would absolutely recommend these to anyone in the market for a new boot.. and you can't beat the price.

Forum Seeker Snowboard
Great Ride
Board works extremely well from the trees to the park.
Quick response, fluid carves, and snappy turn out. It's a really fun board to ride.

Does anyone here regularly do sales outdoors? And if so, how well does it go for you?
This being festival season, there are a number of sales and other events held outdoors. I want to do tables at them, but my partner-in-crime steadfastly refuses. She much prefers to plod along at a monthly (indoor) church sale.
Our previous experience at outdoor farmer's markets:
-- You are chasing the sun with your tent -- assuming you get a tent! Every 20-30 minutes, it's pause and move things back into the shade.
-- Bugs love sugar, and the people who work with it.
-- Goodies wrapped in saran wrap melt and/or develop condensation. It's ugly and contributes to spoilage.
-- Rain chases customers away.
-- People insist on walking their scary, smelly dogs beside us. Yuck :P
My observations:
-- You have to go where the (potential) customers are. They are certainly not lining up at our front door!
-- You get more customers outdoors than indoors. Plenty of rubberneckers come over when tents are set up in a school parking lot. People will stop to look at an outdoor display, even briefly, but WILL NOT go inside an unfamiliar building, unless they are desperate for the bathroom.
-- You won't sell anything if people don't know you exist. So if you don't sell now, but you can hand out a business card or flyer, maybe 6 months from now you might have a sale.
Note also: Our inventory and supplies need to be carried in one trip by bus and subway.
Your thoughts, kind bakers, are always appreciated.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Jose Reyes had two hits, two RBI and a run scored to back six scoreless innings by Chris Capuano to give New York a 4-1 victory over Oakland in the rubber match of a three-game interleague set from Citi Field.
Capuano (6-7) allowed five hits and did not issue a walk while striking out seven, but left the game due to a right oblique injury after the sixth inning.
"I had decent separation between my changeup and fastball today, which I was able to get some strikeouts in early," Capuano said. "They adjusted to it later in the game, but early I was able to get some swings."
Francisco Rodriguez tossed a perfect ninth inning to earn his 20th save of the year to give New York its third win in the last five games.
Graham Godfrey (1-1) allowed four runs -- two earned -- on six hits and two walks in Oakland's second straight loss after a six-game win streak.
"We've had some offensive deficiencies," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said. "We have to string hits together. We have to battle, we have to work deep counts, we have to get on base, because we're not the type of team that's going to strike quick."
The Mets got all the runs they would need after loading the bases with no outs in the second on consecutive singles by Jason Bay, Lucas Duda and Josh Thole. Capuano came up next and grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to score Bay and Reyes followed with a bouncer up the middle to bring home Duda to give New York a 2-0 lead.
New York added two more runs, though, after costly errors by the A's.
Reyes reached first on Jemile Weeks' throwing error to lead off the fifth, move to second on a Justin Turner sacrifice bunt and advance to third on a groundout by Carlos Beltran before crossing the plate on a Daniel Murphy single to give the Mets a three-run advantage.
New York's second run off an error came in the sixth. Thole worked a two- out walk and Godfrey was replaced by Craig Breslow on the mound.
Willie Harris' pinch-hit single moved Thole to second, and Reyes came up next and popped a ball into foul territory on the first base side. Chris Carter, who had just entered the game in a double switch, settled under the ball, but as he was about to make the catch Weeks came running towards him. It seemed to distract Carter and the ball hit the heel of his glove and fell to the ground.
Reyes took advantage of the situation by lining the next pitch into center field to score Thole.
Oakland got on the board in the eighth after Weeks walked, stole second, advanced to third on a Cliff Pennington groundout and scored on Coco Crisp's sacrifice fly to center field.
The A's had plenty of opportunities to break through against Capuano, but he would sit them down without a run each time.
They put a man on third with two outs in the second, a man on second with two outs in the third and sixth innings, and even loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth. They finished the day hitting 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded six men on base.
