transplanting perennials, spring or fall?
I've done some research and some say it's ok to transplant as long as ground is not frozen. Some say it's better to transplant in spring. I've noticed myself to forget plants in ground after winter. I was thinking of transplanting now so I won't forget where they are, how tall they grew, etc.
So what do you think about transplanting now? We've been getting air temps down to 20-40F lately but dirt is very workable.
dirt is what is all over you.. after you play in the soil ...
in our z5.. the issue is WINTER HEAVE ....
you can move whatever you want.. until ground freeze ... as long as you do something so it doesnt pop out of the ground in late winter ....
it is getting late.. there will be no root growth to hold them in the SOIL ... so a good blanket of mulch would keep the soil frozen on those sunny days in late winter when freeze/thaw might eject them ...
if you have pretty big clumps.. just move them..
if you are talking about small plants.. i would tend to leave them until spring ....
make sense??
I agree with deeje.....the week before Thanksgiving is getting a bit late to contemplate successful transplanting in your area. Not saying it can't be done as long as ground not frozen, just that if not enough time after transplanting and before soil freezes you risk proper establishment. Most of the extensions services for zone 5 climates recommend completing the transplant process by the end of September. If done much later, I would certainly recommend a good mulch, both to protect vulnerable not-yet-established root systems and to ward against frost heaving.
i tend to do the same thing... forget how tall everything gets and then don't move them in the spring.
So this fall i focused on moving everything that i wanted regardless of time. I just moved a bunch this past weekend actually. I been moving stuff every weekend for the past month.
I figure as long as i was moving a nice clump of dirt with the plant roots, it would be okay. I was able to amend the new location nicely and much deeper then when i had first planted them... to help them get off to a nice start in the spring.
Now... i wouldn't move anything that i favor or is delicate in the first place.
BTW, I was serious about taking photos in my earlier post. Come spring, I've totally forgotten the scale of the autumn garden -- if new plantings outgrew their space, or if a spring riot of color dies down to nothing by July, I'll have no memory of it.
So, while I make sure I've finished moving plants in September, I'll also take a bunch of photographs before cleaning up for winter. Keeps me from planting in that ever-so-inviting spot in early spring that's covered with perennial geranium later.
End of September for zone 5?? That seems overly cautious. I typically transplant well into October and this year am pushing the envelop into November. Just divided and moved a Hosta and 4 peonies this weekend, and planted some Chives that were in a pot, all of which should do well because 1) they are quite hardy plants and 2) they were planted into beds that are close to the house foundation, where it will stay warmer for longer and allow for more root growth.
In October I planted some winter-sown plants, and expect there will be some losses with those because they were still pretty small. Also received a few Bluestone replacements, Heuchera and Geranium 'Rozanne' and got those in the ground in early October.
Also have transplanted at least a dozen shrubs in the past month - Lilacs, Dogwoods, and Winterberry Holly - and with woody plants you are supposed to allow them to go dormant first, and that doesn't happen until mid-October or later.
I'm with Terrene re: end of September being too cautious.
I, too, have planted/transplanted into November. It can be done successfully. Note I am in zone 6, though. The first or second week of November is fine in my experience as long as there is a good layer of mulch put down, but after that even I think it's getting too late. Then again, you don't know unless you try, that's how you learn the boundries of what works in *your* microclimate(s), and if it's something that you won't be heartbroken over losing, why not try?
You could also transplant into pots and store in garage/shed over winter if you must get stuff out of the ground now for whatever reason.
As long as the potted plants are thoroughly moist (but not waterlogged) when going into storage, they should not dry out (unless stored in clay - which I don't advise doing because the clay will probably crack due to the moisture/freeze-thaw). They will freeze, however - but that's okay, remember they freeze in the ground too (the freeze line is ~6" or so where I am). The trick is to make sure they're dormant before storage, and keep them dormant until spring.
If you're interested on overwintering in the garage/shed, do a board search - I've posted many times about it in the past, you should be able to find old posts.
Another trick folks use is to pot up and then bury the pots over the winter - old posts should be avail. regarding that, too (I'm lazy - I'd rather just haul into the garage over winter then do all that extra digging, but hey that's just me...)
Basically there are a couple of hardy perennials that I've learned can't be moved late in the year. They are tap rooted plants that can easily be heaved out of the soil if they don't get a chance to root in well like Siberian iris and astilbe. Aside from that, I'd be willing to move anything that is considered hardy to say zone 4 now.
I agree with Mad-gallica that the hardier the plant, the later you can transplant. I have literally dug up a daylily in late fall, forgot about it and left it sitting next to the compost pile ALL WINTER, and the thing was still alive the next Spring. I have also moved these in the middle of bloom. If you are dealing with tender or fussy plants, that is another story - then it is worth the effort to discern what time of year is ideal for transplanting, which is usually when they are dormant or as close to dormant as possible, in the early Spring or fall.
It is getting pretty late, but I just transplanted 2 more shrubs on Wednesday! They are Corylus americana, American Hazelnut, which are very hardy to zone 3. I watered well and top-dressed with some compost, and I'm planning to mulch with leaves. I am curious to see how they do next year being transplanted in mid-November.
Neil - I can second the dormant perennials in the garage from my own experience the past couple of years. Any that didn't get planted before the ground froze just got set inside some plastic storage bins inside the garage for the winter where they froze just as they would in the ground. They came out of dormancy in spring just like their counterparts planted in the flowerbeds, set leaves & bloomed as if they'd been planted in the ground the whole time. I lined the storage bins with straw & newspapers but I don't think it made any difference in the end result.
This year I did set a couple dozen pots in the ground for the winter. I'll be interested to see if there's any difference in them breaking dormancy from the ones that'll get stored in the garage.

As it happened
I'll be back tomorrow at 06:15 GMT to bring you live coverage of the penultimate day of pre-season testing.
Can Red Bull build on today's improvement? Can Mercedes find the cause of the gremlins? Will Williams and Force India continue to impress?
We'll take one step closer to finding out tomorrow. Until tomorrow, it's good afternoon from me. See ya.
And Andrew Benson's report is live, too. Keep an eye on the website for all the news and best interviews from the Bahrain paddock later today.
Andrew Benson's story on the decision to not to extend the double points scheme to the final three races of the season is available to read now on the F1 pages.
It was all going so well for Mercedes, too, as Lewis Hamilton clocked up the laps, but it wasn't a trouble-free day as the Brackley-based team had to end running early once again, this time because of a gearbox issue.
It wasn't such a good day for Lotus, who ended their day two hours early following an engine fire. Pastor Maldonado managed just 31 laps.
Daniel Ricciardo's lap was the fastest the team have managed over six days of testing in Bahrain - and by some margin - and that will be of welcome relief to a Red Bull team who have looked on the ropes since testing began.
Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel will take over the driving duties at Red Bull for the final two days of testing before the season starts on 16 March in Melbourne, Australia.
It was an encouraging end to the day for Red Bull, who managed to do a 20-lap run towards the end of the session. The world champions cut extra vents in the rear bodywork in an attempt to ease their overheating problems.
14:44:Laps completed on day two
1) Sergio Perez (Force India) 108
2) Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) 122
3) Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) 66
4) Felipe Massa (Williams) 103
5) Jenson Button (McLaren) 52
6) Jules Bianchi (Marussia) 75
7) Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 89
8) Jean-Eric Vergne (Toro Rosso) 61
9) Esteban Gutierrez (Sauber) 106
10) Pastor Maldonado (Lotus) 31
11) Marcus Ericsson (Caterham) 55
It is another impressive day for Sergio Perez who tops the times once again and completes more than 100 laps for a second successive day. Next time the Mexican will be in the car will be in Melbourne for Australian Grand Prix practice. Nico Hulkenberg will drive the Force India for the final two days of testing.
14:35:How they finished on day two
1) Sergio Perez (Force India) 1:35.570
2) Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) 1:35.634
3) Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) 1:35.743
4) Felipe Massa (Williams) 1:36.507
5) Jenson Button (McLaren) 1:36.901
6) Jules Bianchi (Marussia) 1:38.092
7) Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 1:39.041
8) Jean-Eric Vergne (Toro Rosso) 1:39.636
9) Esteban Gutierrez (Sauber) 1:39.976
10) Pastor Maldonado (Lotus) 1:41.613
11) Marcus Ericsson (Caterham) 1:42.516
Force India's Sergio Perez finishes fastest on day two of the third and final pre-season test in Bahrain.
Just five minutes remain of the session, with Daniel Ricciardo, Jules Bianchi and Felipe Massa among the drivers still pumping in the lap times.
Daniel Ricciardo is doing decent run out there in the Red Bull. The Australian has clocked up 18 successive laps.
Force India: The 100-lap mark is crossed in style by Checo, who heads into the triple figures for the second day in a row!
Former team-mates Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso are making the most of the final minutes of today's running. Massa, now at Williams, has done more than 90 laps. Ferrari's Alonso, meanwhile, has done 110 laps.
Caterham report that their day is over after Marcus Ericisson stopped out on track. The team tweet: "A technical issue caused a fire which was quickly put out and the car's now back in the garage being stripped so we can identify the problem."
Jenson Button is out on track in the McLaren along with Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Marussia's Jules Bianchi.
Force India's Sergio Perez still tops the charts with a time of 1:35.570, 0.064 seconds quicker than Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari. Daniel Ricciardo is third, ahead of Jenson Button and Jules Bianchi.
We've got green flags in Bahrain which means the session is back under way. Just over 30 minutes remaining...
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone wanted to extend the double points scheme from just the final race of the season. But after a meeting of the strategy group - which comprises Ecclestone, FIA president Jean Todt and six of the teams - the proposal was rejected.
The meeting also decided to make no changes to the engine homologation rules after some of the teams supplied by Renault raised the idea of amendments. Full story coming soon.
Formula 1's bosses decide against extending the controversial double points scheme to the final three races of the season.
We're just waiting for the marshals to lift the Caterham onto the back of a truck and transport it back to the pits so that the session can get back under way.
It was all going so well for Caterham, but their day looks to have come to an abrupt end as Marcus Ericsson stops out on track.
We've got out fourth red flag of the day...
Mercedes' day ends on a disappointing note for the second successive day as the team end running early because of a gearbox problem. Lewis Hamilton completed 89 laps today - exactly the same number that Nico Rosberg managed yesterday.
Good news for Daniel Ricciardo and Red Bull. The Australian is getting ready to head back out on track.
Good work from McLaren who have fixed the car and sent Jenson Button back out on track for the final hour of the session.
Fernando Alonso pits with 107 laps on the board. Lots of data for the Ferrari team to sift through tonight.
Several of the drivers, including Adrian Sutil, Kamui Kobayashi and Max Chilton, are doing an autograph session while their team-mates enter the final 90 minutes of today's test.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso is approaching a century of laps and is joined by Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez and Force India's Sergio Perez.
To recap, Sergio Perez is quickest, 0.064 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso. Lewis Hamilton has completed the most laps, with 87 at the moment, but has caused one of three red flags. Jenson Button and Pastor Maldonado were responsible for the others and have not been seen since.
Lotus have already said that's their day over, while McLaren are hoping to get out in the final hour. The Formula 1 Teams' Association is no more while minnows Marussia have had arguably their best day of winter testing, clocking up solid mileage.
Red Bull and Daniel Ricciardo go third quickest with a time of 1:36.340, 0.770 seconds off the pace set by Sergio Perez's Force India.
Force India are doing a long run, too. Pacesetter Sergio Perez pits after 10 laps, takings on fresh tyres and then sets off again.
Talking of Lotus, the BBC News team have given a look behind the scenes at the team's Enstone factory in Oxfordshire.
"We are operating on half the budget of some of the big boys, so we have to think of different ways of making that work and being competitive," says chief executive Matthew Carter, parachuted in by owners Genii Capital to try to stabilise the business. Find out what they're doing here.
With two hours remaining, Lotus are calling it a day. Pastor Maldonado stopped out on track earlier, bringing out the red flag, and the car has not been seen since.
"Sufficient char-grilling to render us out for the rest of today," tweet the team. "Causation investigations continue."
Sauber are switching their attention to long runs with their pit crew on standby to practise race pit stops.
Caterham are having an encouraging day with Marcus Ericsson clocking up 35 laps, almost double what Kamui Kobayashi managed yesterday.
Lewis Hamilton is back out on track in his Mercedes. Will he be able to beat team-mate Nico Rosberg's total of 89 laps completed yesterday? He's currently done 72 laps.
Williams say Felipe Massa has switched his focus to longer stints and a race simulation this afternoon. The Brazilian spent much of the morning working on set-up.
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "McLaren's new director of racing, Eric Boullier, gets the lowdown on Jenson Button's car problems on day two of testing in Bahrain. The latest news is that JB will hopefully be out for the last hour of running."
Force India's Sergio Perez, who is on course to top the times for the second successive day, continues to clock up the miles around the Bahrain International Circuit. The Mexican is joined by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo who, encouragingly for his team, is on a run of laps himself.
Here's the full story on the Formula 1 Teams' Association (Fota) disbanding after six years.
Fota secretary general Oliver Weingarten said: "I can confirm that Fota has been disbanded as a result of insufficient funds to continue and a lack of consensus among all the teams on a revised, non-contentious mandate."
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"While F1's bosses meet in the strategy group this morning, Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg is doing a Q&A with fans on Twitter. He has been asked for his view on the introduction of double points at the final race of the season. 'Sucks,' he said."
Daniel Ricciardo has pitted but Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa and Jules Bianchi are persevering out on track.
It's proving to be a solid day for Marussia who have clocked up 40 laps with Jules Bianchi today. That's five times the number of laps the Frenchman managed in two days of testing last week.
Lotus: A bit of a flame display on track means we've brought the E22 back to investigate what went wrong.
Daniel Ricciardo sets his fastest lap of the day with a 1:39.155 to go sixth, 3.5 seconds off the pace in the Red Bull.
Daniel Ricciardo heads back out in the Red Bull, with Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton close behind.
The Lotus is back in the pits which means testing can resume in Bahrain...
In other news, the Formula 1 team's umbrella group Fota has been disbanded. The body was set up in 2008 to provide a single voice for the teams in dealings with F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and governing body the FIA. But it has now been closed down amid cost concerns and questions over its relevance. Full story will be up shortly.
Lewis Hamilton had just headed out on track when the red flag came out. The Mercedes driver has headed back to the pits but the team say he'll be out again once the track is clear.
Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado, who also stopped out on track yesterday, has rolled to a halt off track in the first sector.
It's our third red flag of the day...
Fernando Alonso pops out in the Ferrari along with Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez.
Marussia: The lunch break behind us, Jules is back on track. Well, he popped back briefly for a stop in the box and a launch-start.
Caterham report that Marcus Ericsson is belted into the car and should be out soon. Over at Marussia, with Jules Bianchi driving today, Max Chilton is using the spare time to do some interviews.
Pastor Maldonado breaks the silence, the Venezuelan heading back out on track in the Lotus.
There doesn't appear to be much appetite to go out on track right now. Over at Williams, Felipe Massa is at the wheel today, but rather than take the day off, Valtteri Bottas is at the track and spent much of his time on the pit wall keeping an eye on the action.
Lewis Hamilton has completed the most laps today with 61 on the board. Next up is Fernando Alonso on 45 and Felipe Massa on 44. Bottom of the pile sits Daniel Ricciardo on just 15.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Renault has issued a statement regarding the request for an extension of the engine homologation deadline that is being discussed at the F1 strategy group this morning. It says: 'Renault is providing the reference Power Unit and appropriate supplementary material to the FIA, as per today's homologation deadline.
"There is a background request from some teams for alternative proposals (as will be discussed by the strategy group today) that regard some parts and components. However, the basic requirements of the homologation deadline will be delivered today as mandated by the FIA.' Renault declined to provide details of the proposals, or which parts they applied to."
Former Red Bull driver Mark Webber: Good week in Germany with @PorscheRaces @Porsche. Great to see the guys pushing hard for the new racing season, and such a new project.
As was the case yesterday, the teams don't seem keen to rush their lunch and the track remains quiet.
The green light has flickered on at the end of the pit lane and we're back up and running on day two of the final pre-season test.
I'm off for a quick break, but will be back at 10:30 GMT when the session will resume for the day's final three hours of testing. See you in a bit.
It's lunch time, folks. So to recap, Sergio Perez is currently top of the pile, 0.064 seconds clear of Fernando Alonso, with Jenson Button third.
Lewis Hamilton and Button both stopped out on track on separate occasions this morning, bringing out the red flag.
Red Bull manage just 14 laps and spend much of the morning either in the garage or working on pit-stop practice.
Pastor Maldonado, Jules Bianchi and Felipe Massa are out on track for one final run before lunch.
Caterham are having a more productive day today with Marcus Ericsson having already completed 22 laps, three more than Kamui Kobayashi managed all day yesterday. The Swede has pitted but will head out for one more run before lunch, which is scheduled for 10:00 GMT.
McLaren: We're looking into the problem that stopped Jenson out on-track this morning. Hopefully, we'll head out later this afternoon!
Sergio Perez still leads the way in the Force India, but Fernando Alonso has closed to within 0.064 seconds. Jenson Button is in third, 1.3 seconds off the pace, with Lewis Hamilton fourth and Jules Bianchi fifth.
Away from Bahrain, one of India's most flamboyant tycoons, Subrata Roy - who owns a stake in the Force India F1 team - has been arrested after he surrendered to the police. Read more on our news pages.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"It's fair to say Renault's request for an extension to the engine homologation deadline has stirred up a bit of a hornet's nest. It's a very controversial thing to request, for two reasons - 1) these engine rules are effectively only in F1 because Renault wanted them and threatened to quit if they were not introduced; 2) the manufacturers have already had an extra year to develop the engines, after the initial date for the introduction of hybrid turbos was pushed back from 2013. Renault want an extra two months of development before specs are frozen, by the way. Contrary to what I wrote earlier, unanimity is needed for Renault's request to pass. Apologies for any confusion."
Andrew Benson has more on the developing story about Renault's request for an extension to the engine homologation deadline...
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton continues his race simulation run, the Briton pitting after 22 laps for medium rubber before rejoining.
Caterham have fitted new parts to their car and sent Marcus Ericsson back out on track.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Are signs of strain already showing in Pastor Maldonado's relationship with his new team? It is no secret that Lotus chose the Venezuelan over Nico Hulkenberg because they needed the massive injection of South American oil money that comes with him. But they skipped the first pre-season test because the car was not ready. And the second test - Lotus's first - did not go well; the team covered less than 600km over four days. And there were more problems on the first day of this week's final test, a failure in a new exhaust design restricting Maldonado to just 31 laps.
"Lotus, ever willing to laugh at themselves, tweeted a picture of a glum-looking driver. And afterwards Maldonado said: 'It is not what we want, but it is what we have. We need to accept it and we need to keep working very hard. I think it is clear that at the moment Renault is not 100%, but we are working together. I believe 100% they can deliver the answers and the solution quite soon.'"
After more than three hours, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo finally sets a lap time. The Australian clocks a 1:40.867, which is good enough for eighth on the timesheets, 5.2 seconds off the pace.

Tom: Never have I been so gripped to a test season like Bahrain. This new formula is taking unpredictability to a whole new level. I can see Williams winning this year and force India getting a podium. You just can't call it though.
Michael: Amazingly, and I shock myself in saying this, but I think Williams could he set for their best year in a very long time. The combo of Massa and Bottas along with a few other changes and the Mercedes power could be an inspired move by Sir Frank!
Force India's Sergio Perez lowers the previous benchmark, the Mexican clocking a 1:35.570, roughly three tenths slower than his best time yesterday.
Red Bull haven't completed a timed lap today, with more than three hours gone of the session. They've only got four installation laps to show for their morning's work.
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "During the red flag brought out by McLaren, Red Bull conduct some pit stop practice. Dan Ricciardo is watching progress wearing a headset - we're sure he'd rather be driving!"
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Sergio Perez was very chipper about Force India's progress after setting the fastest time of the first day of the test, albeit on super-soft tyres. The Mexican, who has had a stuttering pre-season programme, said the team had 'made a great step - we really needed that; I'm very happy'. Another day like that on his last day in the car on Friday, he said, and the team would be in 'good shape' for Melbourne. With a Mercedes engine, Force India, like Williams, might just be in a position to do some giant-killing and score some serious points in Australia."
Caterham: A number of new parts are going on that arrived in late freight from the factory & we're aiming to be back out before the lunch break.
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton is also out there, too, continuing his long run which was interrupted by the stoppage.
Felipe Massa moves up to fifth, 3.1 seconds off the pace set by Sergio Perez's Force India.
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "Jenson Button's MP4-29 arrives back in the pits. Now time for the team to work out what went wrong. Probably best for Button to take an early lunch..."
It's go, go, go again in Bahrain with Sergio Perez and Esteban Gutierrez heading back out straight away.
Vitaly Petrov. Remember him? The Russian spent three seasons in F1 - two with Renault in 2010 and 2011 and one with Caterham in 2012. Well he has signed a deal with Mercedes to drive in the DTM (German Touring Car) championship alongside Britain's Paul Di Resta, who lost his Force India drive.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"It has emerged that one of the items on the agenda for Friday's meeting of the F1 strategy group (effectively the rule-making body) is for an extension to the deadline for homologating engines. This is 28 February - ie today. Manufacturers have to submit a specification for the season and changes are only allowed for reliability, cost-saving and safety reasons.
"Renault had indicated on Thursday that they were not worried about the deadline, but it seems they were being a bit disingenuous, as Auto Motor Und Sport are reporting it was the French company that asked for the extension. It could well pass, given the way voting works in the strategy group. Bernie Ecclestone and FIA president Jean Todt have six votes each, the six teams involved one each. Votes pass by a simple majority. So if Ecclestone and Todt think it's a good idea - for whatever reason - then it doesn't matter what the teams, who include Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari, vote."
While we wait for the track to reopen following Jenson Button's stoppage on track, let's recap the standings. Sergio Perez leads the way, ahead of Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso, who are separated by just over half a second.
Jules Bianchi is three seconds off the pace, ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne, Felipe Massa, Lewis Hamilton, Marcus Ericsson, Esteban Gutierrez and Pastor Maldonado.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Kimi Raikkonen was in full-on deadpan mode on Thursday, giving away next to nothing about Ferrari's programme. Asked about reliability after a truncated day of 54 laps, he said: 'I'm sure if we wanted to do 100 laps today, we could do.' Er, right, Kimi, yeah. Teams always spend time in the garage in testing when they could be on the track. And on Ferrari's latest front wing development: 'I'm sure they were better, otherwise we wouldn't have tried them.'
"Except that parts not performing on track the way the team expect has been Ferrari's bugbear for the last three years. Was he concerned they were down on power compared to the Mercedes, as has been suggested? 'I mean, maybe. (Pause). I seriously don't know.' Raikkonen did allow that he thought the car 'doesn't feel too bad - I think we will be pretty OK.' Ferrari's form is the big unknown of the pre-season so far."
The stoppage came at a bad time for Mercedes as it interrupts Lewis Hamilton's race run. The Briton pits and uses the time to have a chat to his engineers.
Jenson Button has stopped out on circuit in his McLaren.
We've got our second red flag of the day...
Lewis Hamilton does a run of 19 laps before pitting for a set of hard tyres and heading straight back out. The Mercedes' driver lap count is up to 34 for the day now.
Esteban Gutierrez is on the board, the Sauber driver going ninth quickest, six seconds off the pace. Everyone bar the Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo has now set a time.
Fernando Alonso is up to 30 laps for the day, more than anyone else had managed. Pastor Maldonado and Lotus have completed the fewest with just two installation laps to show for their morning's work.
Lewis Hamilton heads back out on track in his Mercedes...
GET INVOLVED- #bbcf1
James Hatfield: I'd love to see @MassaFelipe19 bring home a win for @WilliamsF1Team in Australia. At the moment it looks like it's possible too!
Tom: Strong first four races for old midfield teams, same old picture by Europe though I reckon. Be nice to see Williams strong again...
Pip Yetman: I think Mercedes have the upper hand and Nico could just edge Lewis to the title but don't count McLaren out just yet!
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Fernando Alonso has spent some time doing aerodynamic testing this morning. There has been a big rake-like sensor attached to the side of the car and the Spaniard has tried both front wing designs. One of them has more elements on it than the other. The more slot gaps (created by the number of elements), the more stable and consistent the downforce, although that does come with a small sacrifice in total downforce. In general, teams have been going the multi-element route in recent years."
Felipe Massa clocks a 1:39.849 to move up to fifth in the Williams. Red Bull, meanwhile, send Daniel Ricciardo out for another installation lap - his third of the day.
Good news for Lewis Hamilton as Mercedes reveal the Briton is back in the car and will be back out on track shortly. No news as yet on what caused his stoppage earlier in the session.
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "Red Bull are raking it up. The team is doing some aerodynamic testing with Dan Ricciardo - two installation laps like this so far today."
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo has popped out for a second installation lap of the day before retreating back to the pits.
So Sergio Perez leads the way by 0.461 seconds from Jenson Button, with Fernando Alonso a further tenth back in third. Jules Bianchi is fourth, ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne, Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa and Marcus Ericsson.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Chassis and engine integration is more important in 2014 than ever. Look at the factory Ferrari and Mercedes teams: both have been on a different level from their customers during winter testing. So, in that context, there's an interesting rumour doing the rounds in Bahrain in the context of the ongoing problems with the Renault engines: Red Bull-Honda. There may be nothing in it, of course.
"On the other hand, the Japanese manufacturer is coming back to F1 in 2015 as McLaren's works partner in a lucrative multi-year deal. But with Honda's F1 base set to be in Milton Keynes, just down the road from Red Bull Racing's Bradbourne Drive HQ, it would make logistical sense for RBR to become a Honda team. Honda has an exclusive deal with McLaren for 2015, but after that the rules dictate that it must make engines available to customers if there is interest. Red Bull's Renault deal lasts until 2016, and they are in talks about extending it. It's an interesting idea, though. Watch this space..."
With Mercedes looking to be the form team but having problems and Red Bull continuing to struggle, who do you fancy to shine when the season gets under way in Melbourne on 16 March? Fire over your thoughts, along with any other F1-related chat, using the #bbcf1 hashtag on Twitter or by texting 81111 (UK only).
As I hit enter on that last entry, Daniel Ricciardo makes an appearance in the Red Bull...
Jules Bianchi has been out in the Marussia and is currently fourth fastest, ahead of Lewis Hamilton, Jean-Eric Vergne and Marcus Ericsson. Still no sign of Daniel Ricciardo and the Red Bull.
Sergio Perez climbs back to the top of the timesheets with a 1:36.440, just under half a second clear of Jenson Button's McLaren. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso makes an improvement, moving up to third, 0.552 seconds off the pace.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"The reasons for Lewis Hamilton stopping on track are not yet clear. Mercedes said he did not crash - 'but he did do some gravel-trap testing' and they are looking at the car to assess why."
McLaren's Jenson Button, the 2009 world champion, heads out on track along with Force India's Sergio Perez, Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez and Caterham's Marcus Ericsson.
Marussia: Time to get down to our programme, which is similar to yesterday. Short runs this morning, building into long runs this afternoon.
The Mercedes has been returned to the pits which means the session can get back under way in Bahrain...
Force India: The team is in good spirits as we wait for the track to go green again.
So while Mercedes have been the form team during testing, it seems even they are vulnerable ahead of the new season...
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"The challenge facing all the teams and engine manufacturers under Formula 1's new regulations was underlined when even Mercedes - the standout team in both performance and reliability during the pre-season - hit trouble on Thursday. Nico Rosberg managed nearly 90 laps before the issue occurred but the sensitivity of the problem was such that Mercedes would say no more than it was a, er, 'problem'.
"Rosberg said: 'It just shows everyone is fully on the limit. OK, we're looking a little better on reliability than some others, but even we're on the limit and having problems. To get everything ready and bullet proof for Melbourne is really tough.'"
It's Lewis Hamilton. The 2008 world champion's Mercedes has ground to a halt in the first sector...
The red flag has been called into action...
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "It's homologation day for the engine manufacturers, after which they can only change parts in the names of safety, reliability and cost-cutting during the 2014 season. But even if it turns out that one company is struggling compared to their rivals, not only can changes under those criteria still make a big difference, but it turns out that the manufacturers have agreed that some performance aspects of the engines can be changed every winter between now and 2020. We'll bring you more on this story later in the day."
Today's session will run until 14:30 GMT, with a lunch break at 10:00 when the track will close for 30 minutes.
Sauber: This morning we focus on aero work & short runs.It's a delicate balance between development work and getting ready for the 1st race weekend.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"One of the best rumours of the winter is about Sebastian Vettel. At the first test in Jerez, it is said anecdotally, midway through the second day, after a fractured and massively truncated programme of kangaroo-hopping around laps as a result of the chronic problems of the Renault engine, the world champion got out of his car and said something along the lines of: 'This is pointless; I'm not driving that again until it's sorted out.' And left.
"No-one outside the team knows whether it happened or not, and those on the inside wouldn't say. But whether the story is true or not is not really the point; it is a reflection of the dreadful situation Red Bull and Renault were in at the time. Vettel discovered a better - but still badly flawed car - at the second test in Bahrain last week. Renault and Red Bull continue to insist they are 'getting there'. But what will he discover when he gets in the car tomorrow, his penultimate day of pre-season testing?"
Renault Sport F1: Day 2 in Bahrain, busy programme today.
Double world champion Fernando Alonso, who takes over from Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari today, goes quickest with a 1:37.274.
After yesterday's troubles, will today be any better for Red Bull? Well as yet, they are the only team to have not completed an installation lap.
Williams: Installation lap done and work going on to prep the car for the next run - continuing aero work today with Felipe.
Yesterday's pacesetter Sergio Perez is our early leader on day two, the Force India driver clocking a 1:38.014. Lewis Hamilton, taking over driving duties from Nico Rosberg at Mercedes, is currently second quickest. No-one else has set a lap time.
Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel will get behind the wheel of the Red Bull for the final two days of testing. That means Daniel Ricciardo will get one more day of running today before the start of the new season. Here's who else is in action today...
Red Bull - Daniel Ricciardo
Mercedes - Lewis Hamilton
Ferrari - Fernando Alonso
Lotus - Pastor Maldonado
McLaren - Jenson Button
Force India - Sergio Perez
Sauber - Esteban Gutierrez
Williams - Felipe Massa
Toro Rosso - Jean-Eric Vergne
Marussia - Jules Bianchi
Caterham - Marcus Ericsson
BBC F1 pit lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "It's an absolute scorcher in Bahrain for day two of testing. As running gets under way, it's 24 degrees and sure to get much hotter. A real reliability test for the cars."
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson:
"Daniel Ricciardo made what has to count as the least surprising admission of the day when he said after testing on Thursday that Red Bull were 'definitely not up to scratch with where we'd like to be in terms of the programme'. The first day of the final test was another difficult day for the world champions, starting off well with a quick 32 laps first thing before another problem with overheating and/or the energy-storage system consigned the car to the garage for the next five hours.
"Red Bull, remarkably, have done only 177 laps in total over their nine days of pre-season testing so far. But Ricciardo was still insistent on looking on the bright side: 'From the outside I guess it's just lap times and the amount of laps we're doing,' he said, 'but on the inside we know where we are with performance we're putting in the car and I think we're still confident that we can be up there.'"
Formula 1 is introducing the biggest set of rule changes in living memory with new 1.6-litre V6 turbo engines and radical redesigns making an appearance.
The result is the prospect of a season of unpredictability. After Sebastian Vettel's domination last year, it's exactly what the sport needs.
Morning everybody and welcome to our live text commentary of day two of the final pre-season test in sunny Bahrain.
Just 24 hours of track time stand between the teams and the dawn of a new era when first practice for the Australian Grand Prix gets under way on 16 March.
Another test, another miserable time for Red Bull. Will the reigning world champions manage to get to the root of their problems before the Formula 1 circus arrives in Melbourne for the first race?

Here's an article that appeared on the San Antonio Express News September 26th that we want to share with you. Columnist Emily Spicer gives Bite-Lite Candles thumbs up!
-by Lifestyle Columnist Emily Spicer
Living in San Antonio, we all know the drill: Before you play, spray.
The sounds of mosquito repellents being applied all across the city have become almost the theme song to summer and early fall: the classic "Fshhhh … " from the can and "psht, psht … " of the spray bottle.
Now, I am one of those people — the super-sensitive paranoid person at an outdoor affair hanging around the perimeter, trying to be discreet when I scratch.
Mosquitoes love me. And by "love" I mean they swarm to me like so many college kids at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet.
Lawn sprays? Nothing.
Citronella? Zilch.
Those little blue fans? They work on every part of the body facing and above the fan; everything else is fair game to mosquitoes.
The only thing I have found that reliably repels the nasty little suckers is noxious sprays — and therein lies the problem for a lover of perfumes and smelling wonderful, such as I.
Enter Bite-Lite Mosquito Repelling Candles. Continue reading

Manning bros. bring sweet grooves in DirecTV rap ad

POSTED: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 - 12:00am
UPDATED: Friday, August 9, 2013 - 6:17pm
NEW ORLEANS, LA (WDSU) — Perhaps taking a page from Saturday Night Live's The Lonely Island, DirecTV sought out New Orleans-natives Eli and Peyton Manning – not for their football skills – but their ability to rap.
The ad, titled "Football on Your Phone," brings the brothers together for a New Orleans-shot commercial, advertising the duo's ability to slow jam and rap. Who knew?

Full user review
"Reliable but some limitations"
I have used picasa for a long time and it has served my needs for the most part. I normally use to edit red eyes, crop etc the most basic functions. It is easy to upload to an online storage (1GB) free and it has worked well also.
Some of the editing functions are above my head (I guess). The newest version has done auto loads of image folders over & over everytime I open and I have tried to determine how to get it to stop but have not been successful. As far as I have been able to figure out, lighting corrections are lacking but most do fine. Photos uploaded from mobile phones are hit or miss for editing or clarity with this program too. It is easy to use for most part but some areas are hard for me to use and understand correctly.
This is an above average photo editor + and now stores videos as well. I use in conjunction with photo album onlline and have had the account for several years. It is certainly worth the cost and does a great job. I didn't rate 5 because I haven't found a any program that does everything I'd like but it does an excellent job to the limits of it's functionality and as a free program, it rates superb.

Improving Integration of Dental Health Benefits in Health Insurance Marketplaces
The Affordable Care Act includes pediatric dental services as one of ten essential health benefits that state and federal health insurance marketplaces must offer. However, dental is treated differently from other essential health benefits, creating unique implementation challenges. With support from the DentaQuest Foundation, NASHP held an expert meeting with state and federal marketplace officials, dental stakeholders, and national experts to identify major issues in delivering dental benefits through marketplaces, concerns with implementation to date, and potential policy and program solutions that can be implemented in future years. This report presents findings related to pediatric and adult dental coverage, benefit design, affordability, and plan selection.

Shared Responsibility in Consumer Assistance: Examples from Federally Facilitated and Partnership Marketplace States
This brief explores ways that states are sharing the responsibility of consumer assistance with the federal marketplace in three key areas: marketing and advertising initiatives, the work of navigators and other in-person assisters, and the development of a system for eligibility decision appeals. It also provides specific examples of states utilizing the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) or those partnering with it (SPM) for consumer assistance, and illustrates some of the ways that FFM and SPM states can work with their existing consumer assistance structures and with the federal government to help consumers find their way in a new coverage landscape.

Early State Experiences with the First Open Enrollment Under the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expands health insurance coverage options to millions of uninsured individuals, and makes significant changes to state eligibility and enrollment processes. Many of these changes were implemented by October 1, 2013, with the beginning of the first open enrollment period for health insurance marketplaces. This brief describes states' experiences—including challenges and strategies to address them—during the first three months of open enrollment. These early state experiences help to document the evolution of health reform in the states and may prove instructive for states at different stages of ACA implementation as well as for planning for the next open enrollment period.

Medicaid Agency Training for Consumer Assisters in Federally Facilitated Marketplace States
Various types of assisters are at work across the country to support consumers with enrollment in health coverage. Consumers will be screened for eligibility for both Medicaid and the marketplace and will be referred to the appropriate program for enrollment, regardless of where they first seek coverage. State Medicaid agencies can play an important role to help ensure marketplace assisters are trained on the essentials of the Medicaid program. Medicaid agencies are also offering information on the marketplace to their staff. This brief provides an overview of federal training for marketplace assisters as well as examples of how state Medicaid agencies in Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) and State Partnership Marketplace (SPM) states have worked with a diverse set of partners to advise on, develop and deliver state-specific consumer assistance training.

Coordinating Medicaid Eligibility and Enrollment with a Federally Facilitated Marketplace: Assessment vs. Determination Model
States with Partnership or Federally Facilitated Marketplaces (FFM) are coordinating closely with the federal government on Medicaid eligibility and enrollment. Each state Medicaid agency has chosen whether the Marketplace will only assess, or whether it will also determine Medicaid eligibility for individuals who apply through the Marketplace. This brief outlines the responsibilities of the FFM in assessing or determining Medicaid eligibility, explains the differences between these two models and examines the rationales behind two states' choices. This brief was made possible through the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Health Care Reform and Children: Planning and Design Considerations for Policymakers
Several of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) key provisions are aimed specifically at children, but much of the law focuses on covering the larger uninsured population of adults without dependent children. As states focus on implementing these ACA coverage programs and other systemic changes by January 1, 2014, it will be important that children's coverage remains a priority as well. This report explains some challenges and opportunities for making health care reform work for children. The report, developed with the support of The Atlantic Philanthropies, draws upon lessons learned from state Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP), federal policy, and relevant research.

How CHIP Can Help Meet Child Specific Requirements and Needs in the Exchange: Considerations for Policymakers
There are compelling reasons to consider how the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) can be used as a resource to meet the child-specific exchange requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). With support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, NASHP analyzed federal statutes, regulations, and guidance for CHIP and the exchange, and interviewed state and national experts to inform this work. The resulting brief offers options for using CHIP as a tool to inform exchange design and the companion piece compares selected CHIP and exchange requirements to highlight their alignment.

Potential Roles for Safety Net Providers in Supporting Continuity Across Medicaid and Health Insurance Exchanges
One challenge states face in implementing the Affordable Care Act is smoothing transitions for individuals who may churn between Medicaid and health insurance exchanges. Many people who will become eligible for coverage already interact with safety net providers. This report explores potential roles safety net providers could play in bridging gaps in coverage and care between Medicaid and exchanges. The report was made possible through a cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration. A companion webinar, Potential Roles for Safety Net Providers in Supporting Continuity Across Medicaid and Health Insurance Exchanges, presents findings from the report and related perspectives from state and local officials.

Building a Consumer-Oriented Health Insurance Exchange: Key Issues
As states develop insurance exchanges, their decisions have profound implications for consumers. This report covers three main areas where consumers intersect with the exchange. First are ways consumers participate in exchange governance, such as directly serving on exchange governing boards. Second is consumer input into exchange policy and implementation decisions, and the various avenues states are using to gather this input, such as workgroups, town hall meeting participation, and surveys. Third is the early planning for the consumer-serving functions of the exchange, such as navigator programs and the web portal.

Soft "Focaccia"
Overall, this is a pretty easy loaf. Mix it the night before, pop it into a bag and refrigerate over night. No need for serious kneading since the overnight rest will do a fine job of developing the gluten.
I tried to think of a brilliant name for this bread, but the best I could come up with was "Soft Focaccia." Because, really, that's closest to what it is. Since there's so much flavor in the dough, you won't have to add a lot of toppings, but you could embellish it as much as you like.
The spice mix I used was a blend from a local spice shop that includes garlic, thyme, basil, oregano, and marjoram. You can use your own favorite mix, or simply use your favorite one.
Soft Focaccia
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon mixed Italian herbs
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cups (13 1/2 ounces) all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
1 1/4 cups water
4 ounces cheese (your choice of type) thinly slices or shredded
Combine all ingredients (except the cheese) and knead (using your favorite method) until well combined and the gluten is beginning to develop. Drizzle a zip-top bag with a little bit of olive oil, transfer the dough to the bag, and close the bag. Refrigerate over night.
The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it warm up on the counter for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and flour your work surface.
Turn out the dough and knead it briefly, then stretch and cajole it to fit a standard half-sheet baking sheet. Cover it with plastic wrap or use another baking sheet of the same size as a "lid" for the pan. Set aside to rise until it feels soft and puffy - about an hour.
Top the bread with the cheese and bake at 400 degrees until the bread is browned and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Check the underside of the bread to make sure it's browned and as crisp as you like it.
Remove the bread from the pan as soon as you can handle it and place it on a rack so the bottom doesn't get soggy as it cools.

Have I mentioned how in love I am with the tutorials on Sew Mama Sew? I made this cute and EASY little camera case using this tutorial. Used scraps from my bag. Just don't laugh at my pathetic first attempt at sewing an elastic loop. Yes, so it's really off-center. I didn't know how to pin the thin elastic, so I just tried to hold it in place, but that didn't work so well. Oops. Oh well. At least my camera is now slightly more protected and totally chic.
Here is another little project I'm dying to make - esp now that I have all those zippers! :) The only problem is I can not find my zipper foot anywhere. I guess I'm going to have to break down and buy a new one, because what good are 60 zippers without a zipper foot?

Hotel Savoy, Florence
Editor's Pick
Italy 50123
Tel: 39 055 27351
Concierge.com's insider take:
Rescued from decay in the late '90s by Sir Rocco Forte, the Savoy is a stylish, upbeat hotel and one of the city's most popular, attracting both business and leisure clientele plus a fair share of celebs. Olga Polizzi, Rocco's designing sister, has created a characteristically stylish and calm ambience using notes of dark wood, splashes of loud pattern and color, and some striking modern art against neutral beige and cream. None of the 102 rooms are huge, but they are comfortable and well-equipped; most have walk-in closets. The best overlook the bustling Piazza della Repubblica from the upper floors; two of the suites have Turkish baths. Kids are well looked after here, too, with special touches like junior-size bathrobes and dedicated toiletries. In 2011 Italian superchef Fulvio Pierangelini took culinary direction of the smart, street-level L'Incontro Bar & Restaurant. But this doesn't mean fancy dishes at inflated prices: Pierangelini is on a fresh and local simplicity kick—expect dishes such as a light fry-up of squid and seasonal vegetables, or paccheri pasta with broccoli and burrata.—Updated by Lee Marshall

This winter, make hibernation productive and smarten-up your cluttered basement.
A beginner's guide to getting your home organized
Get Organized with FastTrack®! Installation is as easy as 1.. 2.. 3.. Just screw the rail into your wall studs. Snap on the rail cover. Easily lock on FastTrack hooks and accessories.
Certain spaces attract clutter like nothing else. Basements and garages top many homeowners' must-tidy lists, although getting started can be daunting. Fortunately, a bit of planning, merciless purging, and great storage solutions can get the job done, once and for all. Here's our five-step action plan:
#1 Identify the problemWe often decide to keep things we no longer need – and store them in the basement or garage. As boxes and bags pile up, we spend less time living in these spaces and just continue to add more and more stuff until we find it hard to even remember – let alone access – the contents.
#2 Formulate the solutionWe need to get rid of what's not used and then store items we may need down the line in a more organized and accessible fashion. This will open up space and make these areas more functional and attractive.
#3 Develop and stick to a planStart going through those piles. Put aside anything that's broken and that you haven't felt the need to fix or use anytime in the last two years. If items are in good working order or have the potential to be repaired, donate them to a local charity organization. Otherwise, recycle what you can at a scrap depot and throw everything else in the trash.
Next, go through your "must-keeps," with the aim of editing out even more items. Most people have the tendency to try to hold onto more than they truly have use for.
Finally, purchase and install storage solutions and organize your possessions accordingly.
#4 Use these storage solutions
#5 Enjoy the spaceOnce you've opened up and organized a basement or a garage that isn't used to store a car, you may be amazed at your newfound space. It might even be possible to create an area for something you've always wanted to do, such as adding a small potting shed to your garage, or a crafting studio to your basement.

Norfolk Phlebotomist to Serve Two Years for Stealing Patient Identity Data
NORFOLK, Va. – Fairon Williams, 28, of Norfolk, VA, was sentenced today in Norfolk federal court to two years in prison for stealing patient identity information and providing it to others involved in a scheme to obtain fraudulent loans from a local credit union.
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, made the announcement after Senior United States District Judge Robert G. Doumar, Sr. imposed the sentence. Williams previously pled guilty to engaging in aggravated identity theft while working in a local medical office.
According to court documents, during 2010 Fairon Williams worked as a phlebotomist for a medical office in Norfolk. In February 2010, Williams met Christopher Moore at a local nightclub. At the time, Moore conducted and led a scheme to defraud the Navy Federal Credit Union. As part of this scheme, Moore, Darnell Barnwell, and others sought and obtained the identity information of others, without their knowledge, and then impersonated the victims in dealings with Navy Federal. Moore submitted online applications in the victims' names seeking loans to buy used cars and motorcycles. In fact, however, no vehicles were being bought and sold because Moore simply wanted to obtain the loan checks and cash out the proceeds for himself and his co-conspirators. Moore also opened credit card accounts in the victims' names and obtained cash advances against such accounts.
In February 2010, Moore solicited and Williams agreed to assist him with the scheme. Williams did so by supplying Moore with the identity information for approximately 14 patients from the medical office where she worked. Also, at Moore's request, Williams placed several calls to Navy Federal and impersonated a victim account holder while inquiring about the status of a loan application previously submitted by Moore. After receiving identity information from Williams, Moore used it to successfully obtain $131,100 in fraudulent loans and cash advances from Navy Federal in the identity theft victims' names.
Christopher Moore and Darnell Barnwell were previously charged and convicted in federal court for their roles in the scheme and are serving sentences of 102 and 56 months, respectively.
This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and the Newport News Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Robert Krask is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.

Miami mayors, commissioners, and managers have come and gone. Elections now and then have changed the course of local politics. Social upheavals have rocked the city's internal equilibrium and external image. But Jack Luft has remained Miami's premier planner and visionary for nearly three decades. "He is probably one of the most intelligent and politically adept administrative staffers in the City of Miami," observes Coconut Grove lawyer and civic activist Tucker Gibbs, who has often been at odds with Luft. "Anyone who could survive the City of Miami from 1970 to 1998 knows how to work the system."
As a young planner assigned to Coconut Grove in the Seventies, Luft honed the skills needed for a job that required him to be part civic booster, part obedient bureaucrat, and all-around cajoler. He managed to prod the Grove's commercial property owners into creating a European-style retail district that emphasized pedestrian-friendly low-rise buildings, sidewalk cafes, and boutiques.
But when he sanctioned plans for Commodore Bay, a concentrated mixed-use development that would have stretched from Main Highway to Biscayne Bay, former supporters branded him a tool of developers and turned against him. Miami attorney and public parks advocate Dan Paul dubbed him the "merchant of concrete." The rebukes have haunted him ever since.
Luft, now 53 years old, insists that reputation is undeserved. He characterizes himself as a devoted combatant against the worst kinds of commercial construction: impersonal glass-and-steel towers, and designs that favor cars over people. But he's unabashedly enthusiastic about dense urban commercial centers. "I haven't been all over the world, but I've been around -- to Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, Vancouver, Tokyo, Kyoto," he says. "Where some people want to go to Yosemite and see Half Dome and walk the John Muir Trail or visit Walden Pond and all that -- that's fine. I get the same high from standing on Fifth Avenue in New York during the St. Patrick's Day parade and listening to the muskets go off and echo in those glass canyons as the kilted bagpipers walk by. And I say, 'God, I love cities!'"
Luft agreed to accompany New Times on a tour of Virginia Key, where he discussed the city's plans for a variety of moneymaking projects. The tour began at Miami Marine Stadium.
Some environmentalists say Virginia Key is already overdeveloped. Why not stop now and preserve what remains?
One of the things that has gotten me in trouble with environmentalists is that I feel there are a lot of laws -- and I'm glad they're there -- to protect the frogs and the turtles and the trees. And they need to be protected. What bothers me is I don't see that same level of protection and support for the urban environment, for creating quality urban places that are habitable, sustaining, nurturing for people. For my mind, the real challenge is to try to make a livable place out of something that societies have been creating for 2000 years: urban concentrations.
But Virginia Key is not an urban concentration. So why develop it?
I think Virginia Key has, in the mix of things, this incredible possibility. You've got wilderness retreats that are hands off, untouchable, pristine -- and let's hope they stay that way -- bird sanctuaries and manatee breeding grounds. And then right next door you've got a place where you can have water sports, Jet Ski races, rowing shows, and all the stuff that happens in the ballet of the water. Plus you can have the waterside restaurants and hang gliders and parasailing and all that stuff. It's a playground of the water.
But why must the city lease much of Virginia Key to private developers to build and operate a marine stadium, a hotel, boat ramps, restaurants, and other amenities?
By deed restriction we have to have a marine stadium. The stadium was built as a marine center for marine events. The 200-acre basin was set up specifically for water shows and performances. It was built for that.
So why not just develop the marine stadium and leave the rest of the island as is?
To bring in the private sector you have to complement those public-sector objectives that are not economically viable with components that are economically viable. Why are they putting executive corporate suites in basketball arenas? Same reasons. We went out to the private sector before and asked, "Is anyone interested in just fixing up a marine stadium and running it?" No. "Is anyone interested in fixing up and operating a stadium if you had a boat yard, resort, and facilities that are compatible with the goal of public recreation and tourism -- and also to bring in a profit?" Yes. We're not just dropping things out of the sky.
Exactly what are the city's plans for the marine stadium and its basin? The master plan outlines a pathway around the basin and a nature center just north of it, in an area now overtaken by Australian pines.
If you've been to Minneapolis, there is a wonderful series of lakes in the center of the city -- Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, and Lake Harriet -- and they are all interconnected by the park system. You take these bodies of water and encircle them with long, continuous, uninterrupted pathways. That's the image we're looking for. If it were up to me, I would turn [the nature center] over to Tropical Audubon and I would say, "You work with the school system, with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Nature Center, and treat this as an interpretive trail, educational center, kind of like the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be out next Tuesday, October 14, on DVD and Blu-ray. As is common these days, there are a variety of exclusive editions to attempt to convince you to buy from a particular retailer, or perhaps even to buy more than one in order to get the extra goodies. (Does anyone do that?)
Circuit City has two lithographs of concept art from the movie. Fye and Suncoast have their usual Steelbook packaging.
Best Buy's gift set comes with the Special Edition DVD, a replica crystal skull from Sideshow Collectibles, and a $25 gift card to Sideshowcollectibles.com, all for $40. They're pricing the Special Edition at $23, so if you want something else from Sideshow, that's not a bad deal. Then again, I suspect there's nothing you can get there for under $25, so you're going to be giving them more money however it works out.
Target's version comes with a mini hardcover book (the size of a DVD case) with "80 pages of behind-the-scenes photos, including many never-before-published images".
Kmart and Sears have four LEGO mini-posters, each mimicking one of the four original theatrical posters for the movies in the series. (Kind of makes you realize how much times have changed between the first three and this one, given the different visual look.)
Plus, if you have a Papa John's nearby, they're currently doing a deal where every pizza comes with a $3 off coupon for the DVD.
How does this movie compare with the first and third movies in the series (I didn't care for #2)?
I haven't seen it yet. I heard some mixed reviews when it came out but nothing very specific other than the ending was lame.
I'd appreciate any opinions.
Some of these bonus items are cool, but If this film is anything like The Temple of Doom I think I'll pass.
My review of it is in the first link of the piece. The first is definitely much much better. I'm trying to recall the third and not having much luck.
Thanks for the review. It doesn't sound particularly special, so I'll probably just rent it.
I'm sorry I didn't click on the link earlier. I guess I've gotten out of the habit of clicking on the links in articles as so many of them lead to advertising. I should have known your links would have more substance.
By the way, the third movie was the one with Sean Connery as Indy's father.
Johanna, just read your review. Very interesting to read, as your critical reviews are always smart and well-though-out, but I was intrigued because your comments on this page and the review page lead me to believe your not an Indy fan. More likely, a filmgoer who has happened to have seen and enjoyed a few Indy films. I only say this because I am a Indy nut, and the only reviews I heard of the film came from fellow Indy nuts. Great review!
Thanks! It's true, I wouldn't call myself a fan — I've enjoyed a couple of the movies, some more than others, but I wouldn't feel a loss if I never saw them again. I'm glad you found my comments interesting anyway.
And Dave, I feel like an idiot. I have no idea why I couldn't remember, "We named the dog Indiana" last night.
That's how I think the film's success happened…. casual Indy filmgoers, not having the personal & emotional investment in the films that a fan does, could take or leave the new film, and therefore had a generally good time. Fans who have a stake in things are more likely to be outraged at failures or excesses, and will be harder to please.

It is made with very good detail. We were told that the belts need to be a little longer in length and the velcro could be attached a little better on the arm band. The costume is excellent. Shipping was very fast. I did not use customer service but your email speaks good for your customer service. As for suggestions, I look forward to finding that the armband and belts could be longer. And to consider adding some tron legacy costumes would be great. Also I am looking for a good quality jango or boba fett and darth vader costume as well as captain reynolds cloak from firefly.

Mighty-O employee Sara Russert restocks a plate of donuts last Saturday morning. Mighty-O Donuts in Tangletown near Greenlake uses purely organic ingredients to make their donuts.
It's not often that you come across a donut shop concerned with the health benefits of its ingredients or the environmental impact of its products. But that's just what you'll find at Mighty O Donuts.
The shop's donuts are made using certified organic ingredients and include no chemical preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, no artificial colorings or flavors and no animal-derived ingredients, making them cholesterol-free. In other words, the frosting on the Raspberry Riot (a vanilla cake donut with raspberry frosting) is red because it's made from raspberries, not because of Red Dye #40.
Although Mighty-O's donuts are vegan-friendly, don't think for a second that this takes anything away from the taste.
"Not only do the organic ingredients make you feel better afterwards, but they actually improve the taste," retail bakery manager Sara Beth Russert said.
Mighty-O is located at 2110 N. 55th St. in the Wallingford neighborhood and is open seven days a week. If transportation is a problem, don't worry, because their donuts are also delivered daily to many on-campus locations including the HUB and the 8 at McMahon.
Mighty-O's menu includes an impressive selection of both classic and more inventive offerings. Among their classics are the Good Ol' Glazed, a glazed vanilla cake donut, the Cocoloco, a cinnamon sugar cake donut, and the Chocolate Top, a chocolate frosted cake donut.
However, the specialty donuts are customer favorites. The specialties includes the French Toast, a maple-frosted spice donut, and the Don King, a glazed chocolate cake donut topped with coconut, which bears a striking resemblance to the boxing promoter.
"My favorite has to be the Lemon Poppyseed," Mighty-O regular Samantha Stewart said. Stewart is not a vegan and said she eats at Mighty-O simply because the donuts taste good.
Russert said that although the customers are primarily regulars from the community, they get a lot of vegans from out of town that go out of their way to visit the store.
One thing that stands out when you step into Mighty-O is the healthy appearance of both their employees and customers. Mighty-O is generally filled with fit, young Seattleites enjoying an organic donut and cup of fair-trade coffee. This may simply be a matter of metabolism, as Russert says she eats at least a donut a day and many employees eat many more throughout their shifts.
Mighty-O's donuts are easily affordable on a student's budget with prices ranging from $1.15 to $1.65. If you're looking for a real bargain, visit the shop between four and five for happy hour, when donuts are half off.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Loved it!
Tender Tree Address Labels I purchased the Tender Tree Wraparound Labels (Layout Number LC-11589). The original item does not come with a return address; however, I really wanted the option to add my return address on the label. I also really wanted this particular label, so I figured I should make a special request by asking the designer if they could add my return address to the back of the label. To my surprise, they said they would add it as long as I was okay with reducing the size of the image (the tree). Everything turned out perfect. This is what I call superior customer service!
Honeybee theme
Honeycomb Cluster Address Labels I love these labels as an added touch to my honeybee-themed invitations.
Loved my wedding invitations and the ease of making them personal!
Evergreen Christmas Address Labels First, I loved that you had a pre-existing design perfect for my wedding theme (Evergreen/Pine). Then it was so easy to edit and personalize the invitation to fit my needs! So many other places would have charged exorbitant amounts to alter the slightest part of their design, but Magnetstreet made it so easy to request changes! I like how the proofs are delivered and reviewed before the final printing to make sure everything is right. The "JustOne" program is extremely helpful too! Everything I ordered arrived quickly and the once or twice I called with concerns over my order, I was helped quickly and professionally. You can't get better customer service!
Great Product!
Hawaii Aloha Address Labels We love the quality and look of the save the date magnets! Would have liked a little more customization options to move the graphics, but am 100% satisfied with the design and quality.
Magical Season Address Labels These labels and seals are so cute and match the Magical Season Christmas cards perfectly. The printing is top quality and they are a great addition to my Christmas cards every year!

Doing a little less may mean achieving a lot mor, says psychologist and life coach Lynda Field.
Turn off your phone, stop checking e-mails and spend some quiet time alone. Get out of the habit of "doing" continually and into the habit of just "being".
Thoughts that might be getting in your way
A desire to please everyone
Drop it; this is an impossible task.
A belief that everything has to be perfect
Get real and know that this will keep you rushing forever.
Negative thoughts
These can stop you from feeling optimistically calm. Make positively affirming statements (eg. I love my life, I choose to be happy).
A sense of not deserving relaxation time
Get over this! If you always keep going you will burn out soon. Start delegating.
Feeling like a victim
Remember your true value and act accordingly - you're worth it!
Habits that make relaxing a little bit harder
Poor time management skills
Write time-bound action plans and stick to them.
Just do it!
Continual worrying
If you need to take action then do so. And if there is nothing you can do, let it go.
You deserve to be happy and satisfied, so don't spoil things for yourself. Smile, relax and give thanks for your day.
Difficulty in saying "no"
Practise saying "no" out loud (in private), so you get used to the sound of it. Then go out and do it! This might be your best de-stressing tip ever.
