EPA-NOAA Smart Growth Implementation Assistance for Coastal Communities
- Background
- Project summaries:
In 2006, the National Sea Grant College Program in NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research offered small grants to Sea Grant programs that partnered with a community to help the community develop in ways that meet environmental and other community goals. In addition, the Development, Community, and Environment Division (now the Office of Sustainable Communities) in U.S. EPA's Office of Policy Economics and Innovation (now the Office of Policy) provided smart growth implementation assistance to the selected applicants and local community partners. Eligible entities were Sea Grant Programs that partnered with tribal, local, regional, or state governments, and nonprofit organizations that had a demonstrated partnership with a governmental entity.
These Sea Grant colleges and universities and local partners were selected from a nationwide application process. EPA and NOAA organized multi-disciplinary teams to provide direct technical assistance as specified by Sea Grant and the community.
The Request for Applications (RFA) is closed. We are not currently planning another RFA for this program. If there is a new RFA, it will be announced on the EPA Smart Growth Web site.
For more information on the partnership between EPA and NOAA, please see our page on the agencies' memorandum of agreement.
EPA also conducts a separate Smart Growth Implementation Assistance program. Click here for reports from the SGIA program.
Houston, Texas
Site visit: July 11-13, 2006
Based on Houston's expected expansion of its light-rail system, current demographics around the light-rail stations, and projected household changes, estimates show that the demand for homes in Houston within half a mile of a transit station will grow from the current level of about 12,000 to over 166,000 by 2030. To help Midtown Houston envision how to take advantage of its transit stations, the Gulf Coast Institute, Main Street Coalition, and Texas A&M partnered to apply to the EPA-NOAA assistance program.
The Ensemble/HCC station area was selected as a prototype of Midtown development opportunities. The local team's goals in requesting assistance included:
- Providing more riders for the light-rail system;
- Creating attractive housing options for the young professionals Houston seeks to attract;
- Using existing roads and sewer investments for dense residential development;
- Increasing the city tax base; and
- Building long-lasting neighborhoods with strong public attractions.
The consultant team worked with the workshop participants to examine transit-oriented development market opportunities in Midtown and around the Ensemble/HCC station. The team suggested a conceptual development plan for transit-oriented development (TOD) around the Ensemble/HCC station and discussed challenges and strategies necessary to implement TOD in Midtown.
Funding Partners: Gulf Coast Institute, Main Street Coalition, Texas A&M Sea Grant Extension, METRO, Midtown Management District, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Urban Land Institute – Houston

Marquette, Michigan
Site visit: Dec. 15-17, 2006
Michigan Sea Grant and the city of Marquette requested EPA-NOAA assistance to help with the process of writing elements for a form-based zoning code for Marquette's Downtown Waterfront District. The community's goal is to attract and support diverse, mixed-use, and vibrant development. The consultant team of nationally recognized experts in form-based codes engaged stakeholders in discussing important elements of the waterfront district and design elements relevant to the community's development goals. The final report includes a draft form-based code to help the local team and Marquette leadership in their decisions about development in the Downtown Waterfront District. Using the elements provided in the report, the city of Marquette has developed and approved a form-based code for the Downtown Waterfront District.

Pamlico County, North Carolina
Site visit: Dec. 5-7, 2006
Pamlico County is a rural, estuarine, coastal county in eastern North Carolina. The county's economy is heavily agricultural and water-resource based. It contains environmentally sensitive habitats that are vulnerable to new and unplanned development. The county's major transportation artery, Highway 55, is being widened from two lanes to five lanes from the county line to Bayboro. Pamlico County requested assistance to develop a community vision for managing the Highway 55 corridor while protecting the county's character.
The technical assistance team provided Pamlico County and associated municipalities with smart growth options to address the development issues that the Highway 55 corridor enhancement project could raise. The project identified strategies, including context-sensitive design and access management, that the county could consider to facilitate development along the highway corridor while protecting the cultural and environmental resources that residents cherish and contributing to the county's sense of place. The assistance educated participants about environmentally sound development practices, presented development scenarios for the corridor, and shared smart growth techniques that can be applied at the county and site levels to capture the benefits of development while protecting the county's rural heritage.

Porter County, Indiana
Site visit: Nov. 14-15, 2006
As Porter County worked to approve a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that would serve as the single point of reference for land development within the county, the Plan Commission determined that the Traditional Subdivision section would benefit from some additional explanation so that developers, planners, and citizens would have a clear idea of what to expect from development. The Plan Commission director sought EPA and NOAA's assistance to write a traditional neighborhood development (TND) design guideline that can supplement the text and information in the UDO.
Over the course of two days, EPA and its consultants worked with local stakeholders, developers, staff, and the public to understand what TND would mean in the county. The design guideline would focus on: building types, open space types, street types, requirements for regulating plans, block configurations, and street layout. Through various work sessions and interaction with key stakeholders, the EPA team created proposed code updates to the unified development ordinance, based on the existing communities and their specifications. The EPA team produced renderings of a sample TND site plan that could built nearly anywhere in the county. Accompanying the renderings was a full description of what is expected from a developer, including parameters for street length and width, setbacks, open space, a mix of uses, and the housing types appropriate for this kind of development. The team's report was submitted to the community as a set of elements to consider as the elected officials approve the UDO.

Sussex County, Delaware
Site visit: Aug. 6-8, 2007
Sussex County's Atlantic Ocean beaches draw millions of visitors annually, and agriculture contributes as much to the economy as tourism. The appeal of the coast and the countryside has brought tremendous population growth, which could threaten both tourism and agriculture if it is not planned well. Sussex County and the Sea Grant program at the University of Delaware worked together to request assistance from EPA and NOAA to help find options for development that will better protect water quality as the county grows. This project will give county stakeholders a context for considering smart growth development in Sussex County, and will provide design concepts that incorporate smart growth and sustainable stormwater management approaches, addressing development at the watershed, neighborhood, and site scales, that the county can consider as it decides how to implement its plan for growth.

Wells, Maine
Site visit: Sept. 18-20, 2006
Maine Sea Grant worked with the town of Wells to implement a community-supported initiative to protect the current ecological integrity of a local trout stream, Depot Brook, while also allowing for growth and development within a proposed gateway area of Wells. The town requested technical assistance to help find options for developing and redeveloping the Rt. 109 Gateway Corridor, from the I-95 intersection (Transportation Center) to Rt. 1 in the town's central area, which includes a portion of the riparian corridor of Depot Brook.
The EPA team put together a design workshop to:
- Explore different stormwater management strategies that could be incorporated into different building types and land uses;
- Explore possible transportation and parking strategies, including suggestions for improved connectivity and mobility, that could help improve traffic flow and provide more transportation options; and
- Explore possible building and land use designs for the Rt. 109 corridor and Wells Corner central area.
The design workshop gathered input from Wells' residents about what they wanted for their town. This input helped provide the basis for possible redevelopment designs around Wells Corner. Ideas developed in response include creating a pedestrian district, better connecting walking and biking paths, creating a new park around Depot Brook in the downtown area, and improving traffic flow through better connected streets and more transportation options.

Chin up, shoulders back and smile big - it's Queen Victoria Pageant time.
The new director of the 2014 Victoria Livestock Show pageant, Christina Cook, plans to transform the annual pageant into something new.
"I'm making it more like the real pageants," she said.
One of the biggest changes Cook, 34, is making to the pageant is the prize. Participants vying for the crown will have to work harder this year, she said, because there will only be one crown per age division.
Unlike years past, only the winners will receive a jeweled crown, and the runners-up will receive sashes.
"The whole point of being a queen is to get that crown," Cook said. "If you're giving the runners-up a crown, how is it so special when you've finally won queen?"
She said she believes the change will encourage participants to work harder to win. It makes winning so much more special, she said.
That sense of competition is one she's experienced personally. She started competing in pageants when she was 13 years old in Jackson County and most recently competed in 2011 in Mrs. Texas International, in which she won second runner-up.
Cook, who owns All About The Dress, said she hopes her background in pageantry will raise the bar for the Queen Victoria Pageant and bring in more people to watch the show.
She's opening the show with a choreographed dance routine and adding a few extra events for judging.
The pageant will include an early one-on-one interview between the contestants and judges the morning of the show, an introduction, Western wear and evening gown portions and a final question.
"That's going to be interesting to see what kind of answers we'll get," Cook said. "You never know what kids will say."
McKenna Zacek, 2013 Queen Victoria, said Cook is doing a great job taking over the pageant.
"It was a great show before, and now, she's updating it," Zacek, 19, said.
The opening number is one part she is especially excited about. It will give the judges a chance to see more of the contestants' personalities, she said.
Jackie Parsons, a longtime volunteer for the Victoria Livestock Show, has been part of the show since she was a young girl. Though she never competed in the contest, her sister competed in the pageant, and her son and daughter have been on the stage, too.
"The pageant has a more professional feel to it now," Parsons, 40, said.
Cook is bringing in people from outside the community to serve as the pageant judges, which Parsons believes will help build the event into something that's more comparable to bigger pageants. The three judges have been selected by Cook and will have no ties to the girls competing in the show.
"I'm doing my best to get good, qualified judges," Cook said.
Because this year's livestock show will not host a parade, the Queen Victoria's Pageant court will not ride on a float to kick off the weeklong event. However, that doesn't mean the members of the court won't be able to participate in upcoming area parades, including the November veterans' parade and other livestock show parades, Parsons said.
"They're going out there and representing the Victoria Livestock Show," Parsons said, which is just one of the responsibilities the members of the court will have during the year.
Zacek said her experience as queen was amazing and that she was able to do so much for the community. When she takes her final walk on stage and says her final words, she thinks she might get a little emotional.
"I loved it. It was so much fun to promote something I was so involved in," Zacek said about the Victoria Livestock Show.
This year's show also is returning to the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts, which Cook and Parsons think will better fit the pageant with 476 seats.
"I'm just hoping for a smooth pageant with a great turnout," Cook said. "I'm looking forward to working with the new court."

E.L. James, the author of the erotic novel, tweeted the very first on-set photo. Plus, see Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan in 'action!'
Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are officially ready to rumble! Filming began on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie Dec. 1, with author E.L. James sharing the first official shot on Instagram. Of course, in cryptic E.L. fashion, the photo doesn't exactly reveal anything about the movie — but at least we know we're that much closer to the Red Room of Pain.
Jamie Dornan & Dakota Johnson Film 'Fifty Shades'
In addition to the photo tweeted by E.L., Jamie and Dakota were also photographed filming a café scene in Vancouver. Though Jamie didn't appear too thrilled to have the paparazzi sticking their lenses in his shots, he and Dakota carried on like the pros they are.
'Fifty Shades Of Grey': Full Cast Revealed
Charlie Hunnam was originally set to play Christian Grey, but the Sons of Anarchy star backed out at the last minute, leaving the door open for Once Upon A Time's Jamie Dornan to fill his shoes. HollywoodLife.com has been told that Dakota was "excited" about meeting Christian 2.0, and the pair has incredible on-screen chemistry.
Then came the rest of the film's cast, beginning with True Blood's Luke Grimes as Christian's brother Elliot, and followed closely by Victor Rasuk as Jose.
Additionally, Eloise Mumford was tapped to play Anastasia's BFF Kate, with Max Martini later added as Christian's bodyguard Jason.
Based on E.L.'s best-selling book series, the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is being directed by

Helping Writers At Every Stage of Book Publishing
Two Editors and a Comma was formed by two editors with years of experience in major publishing houses. We acquired numerous books for our publishers, worked with literary agents negotiating contracts and reviewing their clients' work, edited books for content, and oversaw the production and marketing of our books.
While working in the publishing industry, we both recognized that writers have a huge learning curve when it comes to understanding the publishing business, whether it's in traditional publishing with literary agents and major publishing houses, or in self-publishing with print-on-demand presses and e-books. That observation led us, Betsy Thorpe (left) and Carin Siegfried (right), to create Two Editors and a Comma, which provides local and online workshops.
Topics covered in the workshops include learning how to evaluate good agents from bad and good publishers from scams, honing your writing before putting it out to be published, and providing you with knowledge to make informed decisions that best serve your specific book project.

Kourtney Kardashian and Larsa Pippen Lunch at YOLO (Pictures)

Kourtney Kardashian leaves YOLO. |
Read Also: Kim and Kourtney Kardashian Have Shacked Up in North Miami Beach
Over the weekend everything changed as Kourtney Kardashian was seen lunching at YOLO with friend (and Miami Housewife) Larsa Pippen. The two famous-for-being-famous buds took their combined brood to the Museum of Discovery and Science and noshed at the restaurant -- all in front of the cameras, natch.
Since the lunch didn't involve bloodshed, we'll assume the filming was for the slightly more benign Kardashian-based show.
We're hoping now that Kourtney has discovered Fort Lauderdale, we'll be seeing a lot more of her and sister Kim in our hopping little town.
We'd love to see the girls star in the Mai-Kai revue (complete with hula skirts) and figure a Kardardashian double date with their guys at Steak 954 would be a perfect romantic scene for the cameras.

Presence in absence:
Modern communication products enable us to stay connected over distances.
But human conscious attention has a limited capability. The result is partially
divided attention which enhances shallow interactions at the expense of deep
ones. We can hold short interactions with numerous people, thus keeping
friendship alive while being apart. But the more we hold short brief interactions
and don't take the time to reflect and invest time the less we allow any
depth of communication, any depth to a relationship.
The objective of the project is to design objects that incorporate the spontaneity
of communication technology while couples are apart into tangible objects that
encourage co-participation and dialogue upon rejoining. These elements help to
strengthen bonds between user and object and act as relational maintenance
and a symbol of the relationship while partners are apart.

NBA 2K11 free pc game download full version Download NBA 2K11 free full version pc game great pc games to play. You will love this game.Do You Like This Game.
NBA 2K11 Download Free Full Version
It's fitting that NBA 2K11 prominently features Michael Jordan. After
all, His Airness is the greatest basketball player of all time and NBA
2K11 is the greatest basketball game ever made.
2K Sports has delivered the most finely polished and fully featured
sports game I've ever played — and I've played a lot of sports games.
The amount of work put into 2K11 is staggering — perfect recreations
of Jordan's historic games, streamlined controls, NBA teams that
play and feel like their real-life counterparts, a franchise mode that
includes sensible GM logic and intelligent team building.
This is one of the most incredible year-over-year improvements of a
game imaginable. Madden, EA's NHL series, MLB 2K, and just about
everyone else has been served notice. There are no more excuses for
half-assed annual updates. Bring it every year or you will get booed
out of the building.
NBA 2K11 is where amazing happens. When you first start the game,
you get a slick visual treat hyping the greatness of Michael Jordan.
And then the game transports you into the tunnel of Chicago Stadium
for Game 1 of the 1991 NBA Championship. Jordan turns to look into
the camera, right at you, and asks, "Are you ready?" Then he turns,
runs out onto the court and the magic of NBA 2K11 begins. Before
you ever see a menu, ever create a franchise, ever even get a whiff
of all that 2K11 has to offer, you're playing in the finals with the
Bulls, battling Magic Johnson and ushering in a new era in NBA history.
Unquestionably, the highlight of NBA 2K11 are the Jordan Challenges.
MJ's greatest games are legendary and you get to relive them, tasked
with equaling his stat lines. Can you average 11 assists in the '91
series against the Lakers? Or drop six treys and score at least 35 points
in the first half against Drexler and the Trail Blazers to earn the famous
Jordan shrug? Or light up the Knicks for 55 points in Jordan's return from retirement?
Game Features
2K Sports created each of these 10 memorable moments with a
surprising level of detail. The commentary for every game is
custom-fitted with discussions on Jordan's potential in "The Arrival"
game and talk of how much John Starks has frustrated Jordan in
the "Double Nickel" game in Madison Square Garden. Each game
is a window into NBA history and won't just give you an appreciation
for No. 23′s greatness but the quality of teams he went up against.
Magic, Ewing, Dominque — they play as they did in their prime.
No opponent is a chump, even if Michael is destined to beat them all.
Complete all 10 Jordan Challenges and you can play a special version
of the My Player career mode, bringing a rookie Michael Jordan into
the current League to develop his talent and see how he stacks up
against today's greats. Put him on the Heat if you want to be really
unfair to the rest of the League.

Willy Russell's smash-hit musical has been going strong for nearly 30 years. On this showing it's easy to see why.
An evergreen staple of musical theatre-be it in London's West End or out on tour-the show has become something of a phenomenon. And the current cast, which includes Marti pillow as the narrartor, and Maureen Nolan as Liverpool housewife Mrs Johnstone, are as strong as any that ahev gone before.
With money tight, her husband gone, seven mouths to feed, and twins on the way, Mrs Johnstone is faced with a heart-breaking decision as she gives away one of her twin boys to the woman whose house she cleans.
From there Russell's nature versus nurture theme emerges as the boys, Scouse scallywag Mickey Johnstone (Sean Jones) and well- to- do, posh boy Eddie (Matthew Collyer) becomes childhood friends, "blood brothers" in fact, and we follow the paths their very different lives take until the tale's tragic end (revealed briefly at the very beginning), in which they both lay dead.
In a feat of staggering creativity, Russell wrote not only the book, but the music and the lyrics too for this dissection of class in British society. And it's the strong narrative that is the show's greatest strength, with the story and characters both imbued with plenty of emotional depth. Not least in Russell's evocation of childhood.
Nolan turns in a deft performance full of warmth as Mrs Johnstone, while Wet Wet Wet star Pellow (who, of course was given a rousing cheer the moment he first appeared), prowls the stage with devilish menace as the show's narrator. Even if his thick Liverpool accent can be difficult to pick up at times.Kelly Anne-Gower also turns in an excellent performance as Linda, the girl bothy boys love, but who ends up married to Mickey with troubled results as he finds himself on the dole and on medication while Eddie becomes a local councillor.
But the focus of the show is in its title, and while Collyer was just a bit too wet for me as Eddie, Jones totally shines as Mickey, providing the show with comedy and drama in equal measure, with real aplomb and energy.
True the musical numbers be not be the sort of toe- tapping hits you'll find yourself humming after the show, you might find in glitzier shows, but they're still really powerful (Marilyn Monroe; Tell Me It's Not True), and serve the narrative strongly, rather than feeling dropped in as add-ons. The end result is an emotional rollercoaster that will no doubt be gripping audiences for many more years to come.

Meteorologist Melissa Frey's Forecast Discussion:
The area of low pressure that was over Northern California is slowly making its way north. This storm is independent from the jet stream which means it has nothing to force it to move east. It will slowly move north over the weekend, eventually moving out into the pacific near the Columbia River Monday. This means the thundershower threat will continue through the weekend.
We saw cloud cover and some light rain across western Oregon Friday morning from thunderstorms that developed across the Cascades Thursday night. These storm are pretty much wrapped up, but another round will fire up this afternoon.
Storms will begin around lunch time in the Cascades moving into Oregon in the late afternoon and into the valley late tonight. These storms are expected to bring not only lightning, but heavy rain to the east slopes of the Cascades. The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the East Slopes of the Cascades, including Bend, La Pine and Sunriver. The Watch goes into effect at 11 a.m. Friday and continues through Sunday evening. Flooding is especially likely in the areas of recent wildfires.
The best chances for seeing rain and potential lightning in the valley will be Friday night from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday and again Saturday night and Sunday night.
Saturday will likely start with clouds and light rain, clear mid day, with thunderstorms developing in the evening. We'll see this pattern, repeat on Sunday as well.
By Monday, we should be in the clear, returning to mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 80s.
Have a great weekend!

@SZapper - You make a good point. However, most children's books I've seen seem to be illustrated just fine. So the system must be working, at least to a point!
Anyway, this article totally made me think of a very funny (and kind of sad) incident that happened to a friend of mine awhile back. One of her friends went to school for illustration, and he was quite talented.
However, he had trouble getting enough work in the publishing industry. He decided to go to school to be a tattoo artist so he could still use his artistic skills but also get some work.
When he was partway through tattoo school, my friend let him tattoo her. He had tattooed himself, and the tattoos looked awesome. Plus she had seen his illustrations, so she though-why not?
Long story short, the tattoo turned out horrible. Since he had only ever tattooed himself before, he barely knew what he was doing when he went to tattoo my friend.
This story has a happy ending though: my friend got the tat covered up, and her friend ended up being pretty successful as a tattoo artist, once he figured out what he was doing. Oh yeah, and he's illustrated a few children's books too.

Talk:GPS accuracy
Wow, I didn't know all that. Fortunately I have one decimal point of seconds -- so three metre precision -- and usually get 3 m accuracy displayed, so that by these methods I've been within 3 m all along. Thanks. -Robyn 21:46, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Are you going to define degree minute and second? -Robyn 23:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
It's kind of a big task. Don't forget compass bearings and the cold geohash achievement, even ignoring educational levels and the meetup graph. If it were me, I'd delete the squere brackets and step away from the can of worms, keeping my hands in sight. -Robyn 23:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Ummm, I think there's an error
To quote:
"A simple rule of thumb is to add together the possible errors in precision and accuracy, and halve the total. This will give you the radius of a circle, centred on you, within which your destination lies....
"For example, if your GPSr uses four decimal digits of degrees, and is quoting a signal accuracy of 5 metres, the simple rule of thumb gives an error circle of radius 10.5-metres."
Actually, since the precision of .0001 gives 11 meters, and the accuracy is 5 meters, then (11+5)/2=8 meters. 11/2+5=10.5 meters. The example for the second method has the same flaw. So, it looks to me like there's an arithmetic error.
Unless, of course, the intent all along was to halve the precision (expressed in meters) and then add the accuracy. But the way it's written, it's the average of the accuracy and the precision that's desired. Basil (talk) 23:24, 4 November 2013 (EST)

A special reading of Neil Labute's play The Mercy Seat, featuring Julianna Margulies (TV's The Good Wife) and Paul Rudd (recently on Broadway in Grace), will be staged at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on June 17. The reading is part of a benefit event for MCC Theater, which originally produced the play in 2002.
The Mercy Seat was one of the first stage dramas written in response to the 9/11 tragedy. Taking place the day after the terrorist attacks, the play is about a married man who was thought to be among the victims but is actually holed up in his mistress's apartment. The two must decide whether to go back to life as usual or start anew.
Tickets for the reading of The Mercy Seat are $75, $100, and $250. Visit www.mcctheater.org or call 212-352-3101 for more information.

Now what would be the pro's and con's to set up the forum as an own subdomain widgetforum.example.com/ or just in a subdirectory to the main page www.example.com/widgetforum/?
Would external incoming links to the forum help the ranking of the main page equally in both cases, or not?
Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks and regards, R.
Looking specifically at Google, a subdomain will be a different site, and hence will have its own PR rather than being part of a single site's integrated PR structure.
Overall, I don't think a forum is a substantially different situation than another topic. However, if a forum is successful, it may end up dwarfing the rest of the site in size and traffic.
Thanks again and regards, R.
than if the forum is located at
it is specific to your own website if you want all traffic entering the site via the homepage mayb because of statistics or because adverts are based around the homepage rather than forum
personaly i feel that

Fruit trees: bareroot vs container trees
I'm in the process of selecting fruit trees to be planted in my yard and am wondering if you who have planted have had better success with bareroot or container trees. When I call the nurseries they of course tell me to buy the type the sell but I want to know from experience.
For container trees, I'd purchase from RSI Growers as the owner Reid has rootstock that does well in our soils and the plants are acclimated to our temps. I've read nothing but good things about his plants. Bareroot, I'd buy from a reputable online nursery or local nursery (not a big box!).
My experience is it doesn't matter. Potted plants usually adjust quicker as the roots are actively growing. But bareroot trees will adjust just fine. Once in a while one won't make it. Mine grew 2 feet or more in the first year. Potted trees did just as well. I don't consider bareroot or potted in my decision. Cultivar, price, size. etc are what I look at. To me it doesn't matter. Another advantage I guess for potted is being able to plant anytime, if your zone allows you to. Mine does not, so that is not a factor for me.
If you do go for potted trees, to stop the roots from spiraling you must score the roots. I put an "X" on the bottom, and slit sides NSEW(est). Not all the way through, a couple inches.That way roots will not keep circling, and grow correctly. Some break the root ball completely up. One experiment showed similar results, as long as something was done. Those left alone suffered from girdled roots. So either method you have to disturb roots.
Advantages of bareroot:
Usually cheaper, less to send.
Trees are usually smaller/younger, and can be pruned better for a smaller tree. You have more say in scaffold structure. Many times potted plants are bareroot plants that didn't sell.
Plants being root bound can dwarf growth. The pots are always way too small. Some plants like to be root bound, not trees except maybe figs.
Potted trees adjust better as mentioned. Probably a higher survival rate, but not by much.
This post was edited by Drew51 on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 15:26
I believe bare root is better. It places the roots directly in the soil instead of being in an artificial medium that dries out much quicker than soil.
Also, if a tree sits long in a pot, even just a growing season, the circling roots may be extremely slow to anchor the tree, even as it grows. You can avoid this problem by treating it a bit like a bare root and pull the circling roots straight and stretching them into the new soil but inexperienced gardeners may have difficulty doing this and it should be done during dormancy.
Bare root plants should be relatively cheaper and nurseries that supply them are likely to have a much better selection, which is the biggest issue of all.
When you buy a tree in a 7 gallon pot, it usually started the season as a bare root and most of the roots are cut off to fit into the pot unless the roots have just been stuffed into it which brings us back to the circling roots problem.
I would think that would depend on your area. Up here in zone 4 we really dont have many bareroot plants in the nurseries. On top of that there would be a very narrow window to plant between the time when the ground thaws enough to dig and bud break (depends on the year, im going on "average")
I have seen quite a few burlaped plants, which I consider same general difference as bareroot - Not much root mass in comparison to the tree size. At least with the bareroot plants I have seen, they are usually smaller. THe BB trees I have planted were 2 or 3 years old and had way more growth above ground then root mass. They took an entire season to adjust with very little growth if any at all.
I only have planted one potted fruit tree - My toka plum. You definitely get a head start in regards to root mass, but usually the plants have been in the pots for a season, so they can be root bound. This can set back a tree just as bad as lack of roots, but it did seem to settle a lot faster then the BB trees.
The only plants I can say ive planted bareroot are roses, and they all die on me. I have yet to have bareroot roses survive the winters here, hardy or not. Maybe because I cant plant them while dormant?
Hi Everyone,
I totally agree with Drew 51. I have 25 assorted fruit trees and I have purchased some bareroot and some containerized. I have gotten desired results with both. With the bareroot, you have more access to the roots of the plant in terms of how they should lay-on the otherhand, containerized trees are pretty much structured to the size of the container that they have been placed in. However; once I remove the plant from the container, I gently tap the sides, bottom and top so that the roots can breathe a little and hang out. (Its like going out for a drive after being stuck in the house all day-LOL) Anyway, once I get the roots free from the container and loosen them up in just those areas I mentioned-I replant and all goes well. It can get a little challenging when you have to lay the tree on its side to carefully loosen up the roots but I do this with every containerized tree and I have never lost a plant so far, bareroot or containerized. However, bareroot, I feel like I have more control because I am starting almost from scratch. I can handle the roots a lot more generously because there is nothing but just the roots to deal with. I can mix in whatever growing mediums I need for that specific tree right from the start and stretch out the roots the way they should be-to avoid the curl. And as Drew51 pointed out, its all about the cultivar, size and price that are of the utmost priority; I feel the exact same way as well. Yet, in my experience though, I seem to acquire fruit faster from the containerized trees than the bareroots.
Sounds like the adaption time is too long for roses. Put them in pots the first year. But roses hate to be moved. That probably won't work either. I removed my mom's roses 25 years after her death, it took me that long to do it. They were alive, but not that well cared for.
I listen to a garden show from WPR out of Wisconsin, which is mostly zone 4. They have talked about roses a lot.
You can look through the archives in link provided. Larry also does other shows, so it is difficult to look through descriptions. Press CTRL F in your browser and search for the word "rose".
I don't know if it will help or not? But if you're bored one day...

Thats the same thing I was thinking Drew. Theyre a pain in the ass unto themselves (roses). Sometimes I think plants are smarter then us metaphorically, because of how much work we do for them lol.
I also think roses would be different then bareroot trees in regards to how long it takes them to grow a decent root system. Generally speaking most sources seem to say to prune the new fruit trees so more energy is put towards root growth.
Whether thats true or not, at least in my experience the less amount of roots when planting seems to mean a much longer time before the plant has a large enough root system to falicitate growth above ground.
For my region, I love bare root as the variety is much greater and I would plant either type during its dormancy. It seems that most local nurseries focus most on customer's requests as opposed to what does best in the region.
Speaking of which, I would encourage you to contact a local university that can provide recommendations as to what grows best in your area. Also it is still apple season and you might be able to sample some new varieties. Good luck and have fun.

In a study published online in Diabetes, researchers analyzed how breast-feeding affected the long-term health of close to 1,400 women. They found that women who breast-fed for a month or more were much less likely to develop metabolic syndrome later in life than those who didn't. Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that significantly raise the risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. To be diagnosed, you must have at least three of the following risk factors:
Excess belly fat
High triglyceride levels
Low HDL, or "good," cholesterol levels
High blood pressure
High blood sugar levels
In most cases, women who had gestational diabetes—a type of diabetes that occurs only during pregnancy—seemed to reap the most benefits. Women with the condition who breast-fed for one to five months after giving birth reduced their risk for metabolic syndrome by 44 percent compared with those who breast-fed for less than a month or not at all. Women with a diabetes-free pregnancy who breast-fed the same length of time dropped their risk by 39 percent. The longer a woman in either category breast-fed, the lower her risk for metabolic syndrome.
Researchers don't know exactly how breast-feeding reduces the risk for the metabolic syndrome. It may lower blood cholesterol levels or change the way fat is distributed in the body. Both can influence the development of the syndrome.
To learn other ways to reduce your risk for the metabolic syndrome, go to www.nhlbi.nih.gov and search for the "metabolic syndrome prevention."

In "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," Peter Parker faces off against a double dose of villains played by Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHaan.
But when the upcoming sequel debuts in theaters abroad (April 16) and in the U.S. (May 2), Spidey will find himself entangled with even more formidable foes -- Marvel rivals Captain America and Wolverine-- not to mention a terrifying Japanese monster named Godzilla.
Of all the studios in summer 2014's battle of the superheroes, Sony Pictures, which backs "Spider-Man 2," arguably has the most at stake. Chairman Michael Lynton and co-chair Amy Pascal need the latest installment of their web-slinging franchise to deliver outsized grosses to offset the studio's substantial investment, and reverse a recent string of domestic duds that include "RoboCop" and "The Monuments Men."
Aside from the necessary financial boost, Sony is desperate to lift morale at the studio, which has been reeling from an onslaught of layoffs and other cost-saving moves that have rattled nerves in Culver City and beyond.
Just how big does "Spider-Man 2," directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, need to be? Pascal, who declined to be interviewed, has set a goal of $1 billion worldwide, say sources. Just 18 movies have minted that kind of loot, most recently Disney's animated "Frozen," Disney/Marvel's "The Avengers" and "Iron Man 3" -- and Sony's James Bond movie "Skyfall."
"Summer movies have to go all in and hope that the audience follows," says box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "That seems like what Sony is trying to do. They have to bet big to win big, and have confidence in the movie. But the billion dollar club is very exclusive."
Sony is betting big all right, with more than $400 million in production and worldwide marketing costs riding on the superhero's back. The studio is banking on the sequel to out-earn its 2012 predecessor, "The Amazing Spider-Man," whose $752 million global take was less than the B.O. of each of the three "Spider-Man" pics that starred Tobey Maguire.
"Spider-Man 2" is tracking to open in the U.S. at around $100 million, which would be considerably more than the $62 million three-day debut of "The Amazing Spider-Man" reboot. While the sequel is expected to be a massive hit, Spidey will have a limited window to save the day among the crowded field of superhero films -- notably "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," which opened domestically April 4, and 20th Century Fox's "X-Men: Days of Future Past," which is set for May 23.
"Since everybody seems to be making a superhero film, there may very well be a saturation factor and fatigue going on," says media analyst Hal Vogel.
Disney/Marvel's "The Winter Soldier" has earned more than $480 million worldwide so far. In many international markets, "Spider-Man" is opening in "Soldier's" wake (in Japan, just 11 days later), and will be targeting the same fanboy audience. Sony may have underestimated Captain America's considerable brawn, buoyed by strong reviews.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past," meanwhile, is among the most anticipated movies of the summer, and could claw at Spider-Man's legs. The seventh "X-Men" film has the buzzy premise of piling its star-studded cast (including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry) from prequels and sequels into a single film packed with Marvel mutants.
Warner Bros. and Legendary's remake of "Godzilla," which hits theaters May 16, also is expected to draw legions of young males, and could be one of the movies to beat this summer. Another heavyweight fanboy-targeted sequel, "Transformers: Age of Extinction," is on tap this summer, but its June 27 opening should give the superheroes a few weeks to breathe.
"There will be causalities," Vogel predicts. "For Sony, it is important to hit their target because 'Spider-Man' is their flagship product, and they're not as diversified in terms of films as they should be."
In short, expect a web of intrigue.

A few days after hundreds of protestors marched on the state capitol and camped out at Gov. Steve Beshear's capitol office in a demonstration against mountaintop removal, members of Congress passed a spending bill that significantly weakens the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate the mining practice.
The legislation cuts $61 billion from the federal budget and was approved by the Republican controlled House of Representative over the weekend. It makes substantial slashes to education, human services, medical research and transportation projects, but heads toward an uncertain future in the Senate and a possible veto from the president.
Before the vote, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., who participated in the march last week, made a speech on the House floor in opposition to the bill, saying it would weaken environmental regulations that protect people against pollution.
Check it out:
And in a stinging editorial that appeared in The New York Times, author Silas House, who participated in the sit-in, says the mining practice puts the state's environment and people at-risk.
From My Polluted Kentucky Home:
Since it was first used in 1970, mountaintop removal has destroyed some 500 mountains and poisoned at least 1,200 miles of rivers and streams across the Appalachian coal-mining region. Yet Governor Beshear is so committed to the practice that he recently allied with the Kentucky Coal Association in a suit against the Environmental Protection Agency to block more stringent regulations of it. In court his administration's lawyers referred to public opposition as simply "an unwarranted burden."
The news media and the rest of the country typically think of mountaintop removal as an environmental problem. But it's a human crisis as well, scraping away not just coal but also the freedoms of Appalachian residents, people who have always been told they are of less value than the resources they live above.
Over the past six years I've visited dozens of people who live at the edge of mountaintop removal sites. They bathe their children in water that has arsenic levels as high as 130 times what the E.P.A. deems safe to drink.

Show Up and Let Yourself be Seen
Is vulnerability the same as weakness? "In our culture," teaches Dr. Brené Brown, "we associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty. Yet we too often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love." On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.
"The Power of Vulnerability is a very personal project for me," Brené explains. "This is the first place that all of my work comes together. This audio course draws from all three of my books - it's the culmination of everything I've learned over the past twelve years. I'm very excited to weave it all into a truly comprehensive form that shows what these findings and insights can mean in our lives."
Guidance and Insights for Wholehearted Living
Over the past twelve years, Dr. Brené Brown has interviewed hundreds of people as part of an ongoing study of vulnerability. "The research shows that we try to ward disappointment with a shield of cynicism, disarm shame by numbing ourselves against joy, and circumvent grief by shutting off our willingness to love," explains Dr. Brown. When we become aware of these patterns, she teaches, we begin to become conscious of how much we sacrifice in the name of self-defense -and how much richer our lives become when we open ourselves to vulnerability.
"In my research," Dr. Brown says, "the word I use to describe people who can live from a place of vulnerability is wholehearted." Being wholehearted is a practice—one that we can choose to cultivate through empathy, gratitude, and awareness of our vulnerability armor. Join this engaging and heartfelt teacher on The Power of Vulnerability as she offers profound insights on leaning into the full spectrum of emotions—so we can show up, let ourselves be seen, and truly be all in.

I loved this talk. I have listened to, "The Gifts of Imperfection," "Daring Greatly," and her 2 hour talk on parenting. I think this talk is the best overall. If you only buy one of her downloads, I would buy this one. She covers all the topics in the other books. The format is great, Brene is a brilliant speaker. When you listen, it sounds like she is talking to you personally, not to a room full of people. (You can hear people laugh and clap, but the audio is recorded well and it is not annoying.) A great listen! One I will refer to many times when I need some guidance and an extra boost of confidence. Thanks Brene!
"This is a MUST HAVE title from Brene Brown!"
This audio book is a powerful live event, that encompasses Brene's entire volume of work. It captures her warmth, personality, and mastery of the subjects presented through touching stories and relevant humor. If you enjoyed her TED Talks, you'll LOVE this audio! It will change your perspective, your relationships, and your life! You will learn about yourself, and LOL in the process! I can't recommend this enough!! Get it! You won't regret it!
"The audio makes all the difference."
Comforting, Insightful, Fun
I haven't. I wish she were the narrator of all her audiobooks. I want to buy more of them, but I'm afraid to be disappointed!
Two things really struck me. The first was her assertion that we don't call shame "shame," and people want to avoid the subject. The second was her description of perfectionism as a "20-ton shield" we carry.
I don't think reading this in print would even compare to the listening experience. I'd hear it in my own voice - and this message is something that I needed to be "told."
"Informative, entertaining, transformative"
Brene Brown is a fantastic speaker. She conveys her information in a way that is easily digestible while still being entertaining. It is clear she is passionate about her work. Even though this was a speech/workshop, I felt like she was aware that I was part of her listening audience even if I wasn't present.
The last two hours where she talked about wholehearted living were particularly useful. She gave examples of how to create a more wholehearted life.
I loved this speech/workshop because Brene Brown talked about what all of her research since 2001 has revealed and what we can learn from it. She is a fantastic speaker. The information and her delivery of it was so gripping I didn't want to stop listening.
Brené Brown is fantastic! I loved her TED talk from a while back, and heard she had published a book (Daring Greatly) and found this when I looked for the book. I opted for this over the book because Brené is SUCH an engaging story teller, and from the snippet of Daring Greatly, it sounded like Siri was doing the narrating. This did not disappoint--AT ALL. She is witty, smart and so honest (even when the honesty isn't so pretty, like the cookie story). She has a way of making all of this seem so logical, and making us feel like we are all in it together. Sure, it's a little self-helpy, but in a really intellectual way, not in a preachy hand-holding new-agey way. I have recommended this to lots of friends. If you get nothing else out of it, at least you will enjoy Brené's hilarious stories. I will likely read Daring Greatly at some point, versus going the audiobook route, since I'd like to hear her energy and enthusiasm in my head when I read it.
Educator of Young Children. Enjoy non-fiction and research based books on child development, developmental psychology.
"Powerful, Enjoyable, and Enlightening"
This is my first Audible experience with Dr. Brown. Right from the start she captures your attention. She draws you in as if you were attending her seminar using humor, authentic stories, along with clear explanations of her research. Her explanation of "shame" and the control it has over our lives was a revelation beyond measure. I will add her other books to my collection. She is amazing and connects with her audience powerfully!
"A must listen to! For me anyway :)"
This book as Brene Brown's other book has help me understand why things come to my mind as they do. Being a man that's not wired to think about feelings and not even talk about them! This with her other books has realy help me to take and not be afraid to say how I feel about what ever. Thanks so much to Brene Brown for your work! and please don't stop looking and doing what you love.
"very insightful"
This was a live lecture. It had interaction with the audience and it didn't sound like it was just reading off facts
She was funny, insightful and really authentic in her communication style
"Very well-spoken"
There is no print version, I believe.
Brene Brown provided a lot of anecdotes - I loved how the recording wasn't based off a book but a bunch of different lectures. She's a very likeable and humorous person and I loved listening to her.
I really learned a lot about shame/vulnerability and she provided a different lens for me to look at those things.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AUDIOBOOK. Seriously, Brene Brown is fantastic.
"One of the best"
The truth and realness of uncovering vulnerability. One of the best teachings I have heard. Delivered with facts, research, humor, love and vulnerability.
The realness
It will make you take a deep look into areas of your life with a new perspective. You will laugh and cry.
I would recommend this for everyone. It is enlightening, refreshing, and healing.
"One of the best books I've read in a long time"
Brene Brown is a shame researcher. She recounts through her research on shame how that impacted her own life, or rather how the data she discovered hijacked her and brought her through a year of soul searching. The areas she covers are shame, wholeheartedness and of course vulnerability.
This is not a dry academic book that contains boring data and statistics, rather Brene reveals through the
Data and the areas I've mentioned above how those areas influence our lives and the lives of others.
She explains well how vulnerability is misunderstood and unpacks what can be good and bad about it, but above all why it's necessary.
As this was the audible version it was a series of talks she did. She speaks on tricky subjects with humour, compassion, sensitivity and honesty. She was not afraid to be open about her own experiences. She comes up with some great definitions too.
I loved this book because it was so unique, refreshing and above all resonates truth.
Finally you can't read this book without it touching you personally.
"A must listen in your journey"
She has great style talking about her subject and is an engaging narrator. It's not a heavy read but very thought provoking as I found myself stopping and observing the topics in my daily life. It is changing my approach to parenting and to my self feelings. I am also inspired and find it easy to follow an understand. I will listen to this again and again
"Great Stuff!"
Authentic, compelling, powerful
Any of Brené's personal anecdotes where she stands clearly in her own humanity - coffee crashing at home, fending off slimy busybodies in car pool line... There are many stories and all illustrate and enrich the concepts being drawn from her academic research.
I've watched the TED talks and some of an RSA talk, I'm reading the book 'Daring Greatly', but this audio is the best of all of it. Occasionally something gets lost because the listener can't see the gestures or facial expressions, but this is a minor disadvantage.
Several - mostly the personal anecdotes that bring the ideas to life.
"Life changing book"
This book allowed me to see life very differently and explore part of myself that I have not visited for a long time.
This in turn allowed me to enjoy breakthrough.
I cannot recommend it enough :)
Thank you Dr Brené Brown
"Listen & learn!"
Well worth a listen - vulnerability is so key in our lives & can be so hard to embrace! Thank you for the recommendation K friend guru! 👍
"Powerful and empowering"
Thought provoking, full of humanity and real truths about the human condition. Thank you Brene Browne. Lots to work on!
"Funny, Informative, Compassionate"
Yes even though haven't read it, the tone of Brene's voice brings alot to the teachings
The insight that vulnerability is courage
Personal experiences and authenticity of her voice
Made me feel compassionate for myaself
Will be listening again, alot of very informative sections on how emotions work, I'm really interested in this and think its very important to understand these emotional responses in order to be able to understand that its normal and to be able to let go of bitterness
"Brene Brown issimply amazing"
I never write reviews but Brene Brown is simply amazing.
She uses grounded research which for me is the best. Her work is authentic and original and she has the courage to tackle the most difficult subjects and her findings are extremely valuable and definitely not the run of the mill, ordinary almost anticipated findings.
On top of all of this it is an amazing experience to listen to her speak, Her authenticity, originality, humour, constant clear presentation, down to earth, matter of fact way makes her a joy to listen to, not to mention the huge benefits and relevancy of her excellent work to probably everyone.
I cannot praise this woman and her work enough, she is simply genius.
"Life changing"
The content is thought provoking and inspiring. I've listened to it three times and get more out of it each time. Also she is very funny and illustrates a lot of her points with stories from her own life - refreshing to hear somebody delivering this kind of material without coming from a place of superiority.
"Not worth the money"
For starters it is not a book but a recorded seminar. There is a lot of loughs, jokes, and time fillers very little substance for something costing £25+
Not genre but possible the author. There are valid point made in the seminar but despite author claiming obsession with data there is little research mention and most of the topic are just glanced over.
Not applicable.
Laughs, oh ahs and other things that have little value for someone not physically participating in the seminar.
Some valid points but all covered on very high level, have the feeling that surface of the topics discussed was just but scratched. And it is not a book it is seminar.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
