No matter how you slice it, childbirth is scary.

When it comes to evaluating their children, parents aren't known for objectivity.

On August 3, 1492, Columbus' three ships set sail from Spain. But did you know that August 2, 1492, was Tisha B'Av, the Fast of the 9th of Av, and the date by which all Jews were required to convert to Catholicism or leave Spain, as proclaimed by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella?
In school students receive As, Bs, Cs, Ds and Fs. Students, however, often comment that they at least deserve an E for effort. This comment reflects an important life lesson that is taught in the very first chapters of the Torah in the story of Cain and Abel.
Today, October 10, 2012, is the last day of "World Space Week." The heavens and the stars have always fascinated humankind. They are so distant, so vast and, as so eloquently pointed out by the Creator Himself, so seemingly infinite ("…Count the stars, if you be able to count them" – Genesis 15:5).
Sunday night starts the holiday of Shemini Atzeret, literally the Gathering of the Eighth, a connected, yet independent holiday, that immediately follows Sukkot.
Rosh Hashana is known as the Day of Judgment (Yom Hadin), the day on which God judges the world. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the day on which God finalizes His verdict on the judgments of Rosh Hashana.
Most people are unknowingly familiar with the third chapter of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) because of the 1962 hit song by The Byrds:
"To everything – turn, turn, turn/There is a season – turn, turn, turn/And a time for every purpose under heaven."
Sukkot is considered the holiday on which God determines the world's water allotment for the year to come. During the time of the Temple, the week of Sukkot was highlighted by the Water Libation ceremony, during which water was poured over the altar after the morning offering. The ceremony actually lasted all night and was known as the Simchat Beit Hasho'evah, the Celebration of the House of the Water Drawing.
Walk into a traditional synagogue in the middle of morning services during the week of Sukkot and you might have to take precaution not to be trampled upon by the circle of attendees walking around the bimah (central table where the Torah is read) shaking their lulavim.
One of the main mitzvot of the holiday of Sukkot is the waving of the four species: citron (etrog), palm, myrtle and willow. Trying to understand this mitzvah metaphorically, our sages compared the four species to four different types of Jews.
During the holiday of Sukkot, Jews live in sukkot (temporary dwellings with a roof of branches or wooden boards) for seven days. Although the bare minimum required for a kosher sukkah is a few walls and a roof of branches through which one can see the stars, there is, as with all Jewish rituals, the practice of hiddur mitzvah, beautifying the mitzvah. There are several ways in which one might beautify one's sukkah. The simplest beautification, of course, is using quality materials in building the sukkah and setting a beautiful table therein for the holiday meals. The more elaborate means of beautifying a sukkah, however, is through attractive decorations.

Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMUSOM) is a private nonprofit medical school located in Kalamazoo, in the US state of Michigan. WMUSOM was established in 2012, and confers the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. WMUSOM is a collaboration between Western Michigan University and two teaching hospitals, also located in Kalamazoo, Borgess Health and Bronson Healthcare. The school holds preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, and the inaugural class of 50 students will begin in August 2014.
WMUSOM is a private nonprofit school supported by private gifts, clinical revenue, research activity, student tuition, and endowment income. In March 2011, Western Michigan University received a gift of $100 million for the medical school from anonymous donors.
The home of the new medical school includes the WMU School of Medicine Clinics, a modern 60,000 square foot clinical building on the Oakland Drive Campus, and a seven-story 350,000 square foot educational building in downtown Kalamazoo that was donated by MPI Research. Located on the new W.E. Upjohn Campus, the educational building is undergoing a $68 million renovation and expansion project that opens in June 2014.[2]
The city of Kalamazoo, Michigan has a history of excellence in education, health care, research and life science exploration – all of which are assets for the development of a new medical school. Recognizing these assets, in 2007 the new president of Western Michigan University, John M. Dunn, challenged the community to consider the possibility of developing a medical school during his first academic convocation and state of the university address that October. Dunn's address sparked community interest and within six weeks a Medical School Feasibility Committee was formed. Consultants were retained to conduct detailed feasibility assessments in 2008 with funding provided by the local Kalamazoo Community Foundation. By January 2009, the feasibility studies confirmed what Dunn had observed during his short time in southwest Michigan – Kalamazoo has substantial existing assets and the necessary building blocks for developing an outstanding medical school. The assets in the community include: a nationally recognized university, nationally recognized hospitals, a 39-year history of medical education, multiple outpatient facilities, a strong base of physicians with patient volume and mix, a century-long heritage of drug discovery and medical device development, a strong base of community philanthropy, and a vibrant, committed and supportive city.
With a commitment of collaboration from Western Michigan University, Borgess Health and Bronson Healthcare, the medical school moved from merely an idea to a planned approach for development of Western Michigan University School of Medicine (WMed). In November 2009, an anonymous donation of $1.8 million was made to support efforts to plan for the new medical school. A committee composed of the chief executive officers of Borgess Health, Bronson Healthcare, and the president of Western Michigan University began to meet regularly to guide the development process. In 2010, WMed was awarded Applicant Status by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, a search committee was developed to recruit the school's founding dean, and Jack Luderer, MD was named interim dean. A Steering and Visioning Committee, later renamed the Institutional Setting Committee, included a broader group of the senior leadership of the three organizations. Following a national search with multiple on-site interviews of the candidates, Hal B. Jenson, MD, MBA was named as the founding dean of Western Michigan University School of Medicine in January 2011.
In March 2011 WMUSOM received a $100 million anonymous cash gift.[3] This anonymous gift was the largest ever made to a Michigan college or university, among the 10 largest cash gifts ever made to an American public university, and the 15th largest cash gift in the history of American higher education. The gift proceeds remain invested in a dedicated reserve and both the investment return and principal is available for the unrestricted use of WMed.
December 8, 2011 marked another major milestone in the history of WMed. At the WMU Board of Trustees meeting, William U. Parfet, the chairman and chief executive officer of MPI Research and the great-grandson of W.E. Upjohn, donated to WMU a 330,000 square foot building located in downtown Kalamazoo that will serve as the future home of WMed.[4] This property, which is on the original plot of land acquired by W.E. Upjohn to begin the Upjohn Co., housed at the very research facility where Motrin, Xanax, Halcion, Rogaine, and Zyvox were discovered. Locally known as Pfizer Building 267, the property is adjacent to Bronson and only three miles from Borgess, two miles from WMU, and the WMed Oakland Drive campus.
In October 12, 2012, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site of the new medical school building on the W.E. Upjohn Campus, which will be ready for occupancy by early May 2014, three months prior to the arrival of WMed's first medical school class in August 2014. During the groundbreaking ceremony, Dean Jenson announced that WMed was granted preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, an important step, as WMed moves forward to recruit its first class of medical students.
Today, WMed, has 206 MD and DO resident physicians training in the following residency programs: Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Medicine-Pediatrics, Orthopaedic Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Transitional Year programs, along with a Sports Medicine Fellowship. WMed also offers an Osteopathic Traditional Internship and dually accredited AOA/ACGME family medicine and internal medicine residencies. WMed has utilized electronic medical patient records since 2002 and provides a Simulation Center for resident and medical student training.
On March 11, 2014, the University announced that the school would be named in honor of Dr. Homer Stryker, the Kalamazoo orthopaedic surgeon and medical device innovator who founded the Stryker Corporation.[5] At the same time it was announced that the original $100 Million gift for the foundation of the school had been donated by Stryker's granddaughter Ronda Stryker and her husband William Johnston.
Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies (MSU/KCMS)[edit]
The Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies (MSU/KCMS) Board of Directors approved the merger of the institution into WMed effective July 1, 2012. Under the terms of the merger, all MSU/KCMS operations, programs, personnel and facilities are wholly merged into and become part of WMed. This merger included the clinical education and patient care programs, administrative functions, 223 staff, 200 residents and 61 full-time employed faculty. In addition, there are more than 420 clinical faculty members as physicians in the community who volunteer their time and extend the educational experiences for medical students and residents into their private offices.
1946 In 1946, The Upjohn Company, The Kalamazoo Foundation and The W.E. Upjohn Trustee Corporation contributed to a grant establishing the first graduate medical education program in Kalamazoo: a residency in internal medicine at Bronson Methodist Hospital. Shortly thereafter, Borgess Medical Center began its internship and residency training programs.
In considering the impact of graduate medical education in Kalamazoo, the Upjohn board wrote "the institutions as well as the communities they serve benefit richly from the services of resident staffs, and the quality of medical care rises sharply under the responsibility posed by teaching."
The board had the foresight to recognize that the presence of graduate medical education in Kalamazoo would significantly contribute to its reputation as a medical community, rich in hospital resources in businesses such as the Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc., and the Stryker Corporation.
1958 For many years, Borgess and Bronson independently offered numerous internship and residency programs. In 1966, the first joint residency between hospitals - the Orthopaedic Surgery Program - was created.
The selfless contributions of people like Dr. Curtis Hanson, who proposed this program and subsequently served 24 years as the Orthopaedic Residency Program chief, created a rich heritage for the medical community in Kalamazoo. Given the success of the ortho residency and a shared desire to strengthen graduate medical education in Kalamazoo, in 1973 both hospitals agreed to form a joint venture, non-profit organization devoted to medical education: the Southwestern Michigan Area Health Education Center (SMAHEC). SMAHEC's corporate structure was not conducive to responding to national changes in health care. In 1989, the organization restructured, with the College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University added as a corporation partner, and reemerged under a new name: Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies.
The appellation aptly reflected the renewed direction of the organization. Michigan State University designated a truly academic focus of the corporation, including serving as a clinical campus of the MSU medical school and having faculty appointed by the university in all teaching roles.
In 1994, the clinics and administrative offices, which had been scattered throughout the city, came together under one roof. The University Medical and Health Sciences Center on Oakland Drive would offer state-of-the-art learning facilities and position the institution to continue medical student and physician training in a world of healthcare increasingly focused on outpatient care. The building's name symbolized the symbiotic relationship of two universities, two hospitals, and medicine and health.
Until July 1, 2012 Kalamazoo's two health systems - Borgess and Bronson - have almost 40 years of collaboration in providing undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education in Kalamazoo. Indeed, Kalamazoo has lacked only the first two years of medical school. The senior leaders from both health systems, along with the president of WMU, recognized that a medical school best positions southwest Michigan to provide the latest care to patients and remain a leader in health care for generations to come. A medical school culture fosters medical advancement as faculty are actively engaged in discovery and moving medical care forward while the best medical students catalyze the system through youthful inquisitiveness. A medical school attracts the intellectual talent that Kalamazoo and the region require to remain competitive. Stryker, Pfizer, MPI Research, Perrigo and the younger life science start-up companies best illustrate the local culture of innovation and discovery. But there is a need for continuous infusion of new talent and innovation to be competitive in the global market place. A medical school provides this foundation.
A medical school would be the catalyst to bring together the educational and research capabilities of the region and create a Health Sciences Center for southwest Michigan. A Health Sciences Center provides a mechanism for several independent entities – Western Michigan University, Borgess, Bronson and others – to collaborate in education and research while at the same time maintaining complete autonomy in other areas such as patient care delivery. Within the Kalamazoo community, business leaders and local citizens soon realized that a new medical school would contribute to the national need for physicians and also bring benefits to the Kalamazoo community and southwest Michigan. Taken together, a nationally recognized university, state-of-the-art award winning hospitals, a long history of medical education, talented physicians, a community heritage of scientific discovery and development, community philanthropy, and a thriving city provide the assets from which to successfully launch a new medical school. Within the Kalamazoo community, business leaders and local citizens soon realized that a new medical school would contribute to the national need for physicians and also bring benefits to the Kalamazoo community and southwest Michigan.
Effective July 1, 2012 the MSU/KCMS organization was merged into the medical school. The merger included the clinical education and patient care programs, administrative functions, faculty, staff and significant infrastructure.
Medical school[edit]
In 2012, WMU School of Medicine was granted preliminary accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME),[6] the national accrediting body for educational programs leading to the MD degree. The LCME determined that the medical school meets the standards outlined in the LCME document, "Guidelines for New and Developing Medical Schools." This is important because the medical school has permission to continue with its development efforts, to recruit students and accept applications for the first class to begin in August 2014.
Graduate medical education[edit]
Residency programs at WMUSOM are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The family medicine[7] and internal medicine[8] residencies are dually accredited by the ACGME and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The traditional internship is accredited by the AOA.[9]
Continuing medical education[edit]
Western Michigan University School of Medicine's Continuing Medical Education (CME) Office is fully accredited by the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) Committee on CME Accreditation. The medical school can approve CME activities for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM. MSMS Committee on CME Accreditation is recognized by the Committee on Review and Recognition, which is a subcommittee of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
Patient care[edit]
WMed is accredited by the Joint Commission, an independent organization that evaluates and accredits more than 18,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. To earn and maintain the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval, an organization must undergo an on-site survey by a Joint Commission survey team at least every three years.
WMed is also certified by the Joint Commission as a Primary Care Medical Home. Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH) Certification for Joint Commission accredited ambulatory care organizations focuses on care coordination, access to care, and how effectively a primary care clinician and interdisciplinary team work in partnership with the patient (and where applicable, their family).

Janelle Wong is an Associate Professor of American Studies and the Director of Asian American Studies at University of Maryland in College Park, MD. Her research focuses on race, immigration, and political mobilization. Dr. Wong is the author of Democracy's Promise: Immigrants and American Civic Institutions (2006, University of Michigan Press) and co-author of two books on Asian American politics. She is currently working on a book about the impact Asian American and Latino evangelical Christians will have on the traditional conservative Christian movement and immigrant political participation. Recently, PRRI had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Wong in depth about some of the 2014 American Values Survey's findings on Asian Americans.

Welcome to the Morning Buzz, PRRI's morning dose of religion-related news with a shot of data – because what doesn't liven up a morning round-up like some public opinion numbers? Louisiana residents, I am sorry to say that yours is the least peaceful state in the nation.
In an article for the Daily Beast, Peter Beinart argues that Democrats are more anti-Mormon than Republicans, but adds that the Democratic Party must resist the siren call of anti-Mormonism throughout the general election campaign. At Religion Dispatches, Joanna Brooks takes issue with his analysis, pointing out that "no polling organization has ever gathered satisfactory qualitative evidence from Democrats who express reservations about voting for a Mormon." It's true that, last fall, PRRI found that significantly more Democratic voters (50%) report feeling at least somewhat uncomfortable with a Mormon serving as president than Republican voters (36%) or Independent voters (38%). Whether that's a sign of anti-Mormonism or perhaps anti-Romneyism is much harder to say.
Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on Arizona's immigration law, a controversial piece of legislation that allows police officers to ask about the immigration status of anyone they stop. The ruling, when it comes down this summer, could have a resounding impact on immigration policy in the U.S. For more on the values that inform Americans' views on immigration policy, check out our blog.
Conventional wisdom may assume that younger Millennials are more tolerant, but the 2012 Millennial Values Survey shows marked racial tension. Dr. Robert P. Jones has more at the Huffington Post.
A new poll from NYU's Brennan Center for Justice shows that SuperPACs may actually discourage Americans from voting. According to the poll, nearly two-thirds (65%) of Americans say that they trust government less because big donors to super PACs have more influence than regular voters.
This is just sad.

Portable Bluetooth speakers are handy for listening to music on the go, but freeing yourself from the hassle of wires doesn't mean much if you're always fretting over battery life.

My recruiter is an amazing asset to Aya as a company! She is so happy and positive on the phone that it is very contagious!

Kelli is always fast to respond. She helps anyway she can and willing to do whatever she can to make it easier for me. Great attitude and just a wonderful person overall! I really enjoy getting to work with her! –Christine C.
I have been a travel nurse for last several years off and on and have had a variety of recruiters. Jamie is by far the best recruiter I have had and I have had some good ones. However, she is an excellent one! She is proficient and expedient and assertive. Two out of two times I had offer within 24 hours of letting her know what I wanted and she submitted me to area of interest and location and did not attempt to push me into something I did not want. She is a gem! –Nancy F.
Victoria was really helpful for me to get my application set up. I was having some problems and she assisted me. She also gets back to me right away if I email or call her. That is incredible service. She is pleasant and professional to work with. –Heather M.
Right when Chrystal answered the phone I loved her enthusiasm; she was never annoyed or made me feel like I was an inconvenience…. which I recently experienced with another recruiter elsewhere ;( . She also asked ME what questions I had for her, and that was very important to me as well. Knowing she was excited, and hearing her energy on the other end of the phone makes me have confidence in her, and even the company, and THAT, is huge in my "book"! –Meghan L.
Ashley is the best recruiter I have ever worked with. She makes me feel like a valued human being, not a piece of nursing meat to squeeze the absolute most money out and into her pocket. She makes me feel like a valued member of the Aya Healthcare team, and I am just in the negotiation phase! Thank you for having people like Ashley on your staff because she makes it seem like getting me a good job is her only concern; even though I know she has other clients and such, she makes me feel like I matter. –Jessica R.

Zeid is very helpful in answering all of my questions. He is very enthusiastic and is always willing to help. My experience with this company is great so far because of him. –Mekdela T.
Nicole has been of great help and support throughout the process. This is my first experience as a traveler and she is always right there to answer any questions I might have. –Stephanie W.
I can't say enough great things about Ashley! All of the paperwork associated with a new company is so stressful but Ashley made it a total breeze! I had a last minute contract, and she was able to get everything completed and submitted on time for my start date–less than a week! –Jessica T.
Twice now Jamie has gotten me an offer where I wanted doing what I wanted in 24 hours. She is on it! Plus she is very pleasant to work with too. I feel like she is a friend even though she is my recruiter. Her warmth comes thru the phone. –Nancy F.
Aya Healthcare Reviews: November 7th, 2014
Allison is patient and kind and offers excellent customer service. –Kelly B.
Helen is always there! She never quits or gives up on a job that I desire. Her positive attitude is contagious and makes every situation better. I feel so blessed to have a recruiter to care as much as she does! –Merry Jo V.
Barbara is the most caring and compassionate recruiter I have come across in my 16 years of nursing, Work ethics are above and beyond. I can honestly say that I m glad that I was contacted by this recruiter. I have come across many and none and compare to the work and effort you put forth. I am very fortunate that we have had time to cross each others paths. –Veronica J.
Nicole is Friendly, personable, used my name frequently, while offering explanation, pleasant, knowledgeable about job details. –Mary Jo V.
Chelsie was wonderful, upfront and honest. Truly appreciated her feedback, information and flexibility. –Tammy D.
Brooke came highly recommended from a good friend. As a 1st time traveler, I was somewhat nervous and unfamiliar with the process. Brooke took the time to go-over and explain what to expect as I moved forward. I was never left wondering, her follow-up was spot on. She referred me to other AYA professionals that were top notch, just as she had promised. I am nicknaming her "my compass". I am looking forward to giving her my future headings and trusting her to find my way. I have already referred her to another friend. –Paul H.
Mandy was extremely professional and proficient at getting my file ready for my 1st assignment. I appreciate her help and guidance in getting me to my destination. –Paul H.
Ashley is super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She definitely listened to my needs, and offered many different options I had not thought of. She offers a sense of security as I begin this new venture in my career and am really satisfied with having her as my resource/recruiter. –Alix B.
Oliver has been so helpful. I was pretty much set on another agency, but he contacted me and has gone over and beyond what the others have for me. I have hope he will find the perfect job for me. –Khaki C.
Aya Healthcare Reviews: October 24th, 2014
Steve was very quick to respond to my application. He was very personable and I really liked his enthusiasm. He took the time to find out my experience and interests. He has excellent communication skills and I really appreciate his honesty. I really look forward to continuing to work with him! –Ayla H.
Allison is exciting to talk to. Makes you believe in yourself. She is very professional, honest, and helpful. –Darlene H.
Amanda is an awesome employee. Friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and very helpful! –Mary C.
Zeid always checks on me to make sure everything is going well. It's hard to be away from family, and Zeid has always let me know someone is there for me like family. Thank you! –Sheri N.
Solena is very informative, clear, concise, and outlines expectations. –Eva W.
Julie is always there when I have a question or she's watching to be sure my timecards have been submitted on time. She is like sunshine any time of day! –Lynnette S.
Aya Healthcare Reviews: October 10th, 2014
Brooke was awesome. She clarified payment details for my first week of work. My concerns were completely addressed with a phone call and email follow ups. –Allison M.

Rachael has listened to my needs and followed through to meet them every single time! –Natasha P.
I have really enjoyed working with Alex and am glad to know he will be there if I need anything. He has been so patient with me and my millions of questions. –Jennifer B.
Maria did a good job keeping me on task and helping me complete all paperwork needed!! –Iila S.
The requirements that needed to be done before I can start working looked overwhelming, but after speaking with my Amanda, everything seemed easier to accomplish. She made it a smooth process for me, and I'm glad she made herself available anytime I had a question. -Barbara

Spider-veins are most often caused by a collapsed blood valve, whereas a child's tears are most often caused by a collapsed two-story birthday cake. Keep your skin looking sweet with this Groupon.
$99 for Consultation with Two Sclerotherapy or Veinwave Treatments ($900 Total Value)
A pre-treatment consultation (a $200 value) prepares clients for a series of two treatments done over the course of one visit on the leg or face (a $350 value each). At the start of sclerotherapy treatment, the board-certified physician uses ultrasound and Vein Light to locate any varicose veins. Once the veins are located, the doctor uses a thin needle to inject a special agent, causing them to collapse and eventually dissolve. Similarly, Veinwave treatments rely on a thin needle to quickly minimize the appearance of spider-veins.
Reflecting its multi-disciplinary approach, MIMIT—Midwest Institute for Minimally Invasive Treatments—employs a team of board certified practitioners from diverse medical backgrounds. Four fellowship-trained interventional radiologists and two general surgeons helm the staff, which also includes three certified physician's assistants. Together, they approach healing with a focus on function, as well as aesthetics, and aim to empower their clients through treatment education. The team specializes in needle-aided sclerotherapy, endo-venous laser treatments, and radio frequency ablation treatments for venous disease, as well as pain-reduction kyphoplasty treatments for spinal compression. They also rely on a blend of non-invasive and surgical techniques to treat issues ranging from peripheral arterial disease to breast cancer.
75% of 55 customers recommend

"The doctors and staff were very nice ans accommodating and they explained very detail of what was going on before they started so that I would know what to expect , the surgeon had very nice bed side manner , so far so good i'am still healing at the moment now ."
"Everyone was incredibly friendly and professional. They explained the problem and procedure thoroughly and made me feel at ease the entire time. "
"Loved the staff. A great experience and I can't wait to go back!"

1) When did you first start gardening?
I first started gardening in college, although I spent my childhood playing in the dirt outside in Miami, Florida, climbing trees, eating loquats from my neighbor's tree and enjoying mango, citrus and avocado around the neighborhood.
2) What is your favorite plant in the garden?
Magnolia macrophylla, the big leaf magnolia. It looks great in every season, whether it's covered in buds, leaves, huge fragrant flowers or fruits!
3) What is your proudest gardening moment?
When I germinated seeds of Skimmia reevsiana, the first plant I ever grew from seed.
4) What tool could you not live without in your garden?
Hand pruner
5) What inspires you the most?
Seeing plants in their native habitats and then trying similar combinations in my own garden. I am also drawn to fragrant plants and plants that have big leaves or flowers — tall herbaceous plants like Joe-Pye weed, Silphium perfoliatum (which can grow up to 10' tall) and tall perennials in general.

August in the garden can be challenging for both gardeners and plants.
Unlike annuals which complete their life cycle in one growing season, perennials can persist for years, often with a minimum of care.
Spring arrives early in my part of the world (Zone 7, Atlanta, GA) and before we know it, ephemerals like spring beauties, bloodroot, trilliums, Virginia bluebells, celandine poppy, rue-anemone and trout lily will be popping up...
Whether they ramble, scramble, cling or twine, perennial vines offer the opportunity to take full advantage of your vertical gardening space.
Depending on your perspective, shade is an asset or a challenge.
Adding summer delights to your garden is easy to do with unique bulbs.
When it comes to container gardening, we have lots of options to carry us through winter.
As a plant lover, I find it hard to pick a favorite shrub or tree, but I am drawn to those that offer not only fragrant flowers, but distinctive foliage and showy fruits. Among my favorite trees, the Big Leaf Magnolia, Magnolia...
Winter, when you're not as busy tending your garden as you are during the growing season, is a good time to clean and maintain your tools.
One of my favorite photographs "The Walk to Paradise Garden" by W. Eugene Smith, taken by the photographer in 1946, depicts his children with their backs to the camera walking on a wooded path into what looks to be a lush forest.
I still remember the majestic weeping lindens on the Swarthmore College campus from when I worked at the Scott Arboretum many years ago.
Fall is the ideal time to plan and plant bulbs for spring.
I still remember when my nephew was a toddler and he learned to say "Sycamore" for the first time, as we pointed to the trees that dominate the view from the picture window at my mother's house.
You might be surprised at how many plants you already grow that lend themselves for indoor decorations.
Some of the most delightful gardens I've visited have big personalities but occupy a small space.

Water Pressure Regulation and Well Pump Life Extension using Cycle-Stop Valves?According to manufacturer Cycle-Stop Valves, Inc. In residential applications served by wells and pumps with modest water flow rates (under 10 gpm), when filling a bath tub or running multiple plumbing fixtures at once, the water flow in the building will exceed the pump's capacity, and the flow rate is limited to the pumping rate that the pump itself can provide. In such installations, we aren't sure that a Cycle-Stop valve will be of much benefit to the equipment. The company describes residential applications at http://www.cyclestopvalves.com/homeowners_1.html and says that their valve will reduce the well pump on-off cycling rate. But in applications served by a submersible well pump capable of higher pumping rates, and provided that the well flow rate also supports a higher water flow rate, the CSV may indeed be of benefit to consumers. We recommend that you discuss the details of your well and pump equipment with the company before ordering a product. If your well pump is short cycling, before fixing the problem with a Cycle-stop type valve, be sure that you don't have a more serious underlying problem with the equipment - see WATER PUMP SHORT CYCLING [link just below] for details.
