You may read this title and think, "There is no Zen for the parent of a teething puppy!" True, a teething puppy requires extra supervision and care, but with the right precautions you and your pet
West Paw Design Expands Zogoflex® Line with Two New Mini Dog Toys
The Mini Hurley® and the Mini Zisc® are the newest additions to West Paw Design's growing line of guaranteed-tough Zogoflex® dog toys. Petite versions of two Zogoflex favorites, the new minis are designed to fuel countless hours of fun for small-breed dogs and the people who love them.
The bone-shaped Mini Hurley and flying Mini Zisc disc are made from extremely tough Zogoflex material that has been standing up to chewers since 2004. West Paw Design guarantees the full Zogoflex line against dog damage with a refund or replacement. With a return rate of less than 1 percent, Zogoflex toys are highly rated by customers who are often surprised that these toys can endure the aggressive play that has left many other toys badly damaged.
The new Mini Hurley brings the best of a ball and a bone together in one bouncy, buoyant chew toy. While the material is tough, it's also pliable which means that it is gentle on dogs' mouths. West Paw Design recommends this toy for small-breed dogs that like to chew. The Mini Zisc lets the good times fly at the park, in the yard or at the lake year-round. Gentler on mouths than hard-shell frisbees and faster than those made from fabric, Mini Ziscs are great activity toys for dogs that like to "go long." Both toys are available in three bright colors — Tangerine, Granny Smith Green and Aqua Blue — which makes them easy to spot in water, grass or snow.
Zogoflex toys are also dishwasher safe. All Zogoflex toys are 100%recyclable and West Paw Design's Join the Loop® recycling program gives customers the option to return exhausted toys to be cleaned, re-ground and re-used in new Zogoflex products. West Paw Design also recycles the excess material created during manufacturing which results in a virtually waste-free production process. Products come in 100% recycled packaging and along with being eco-friendly, Zogoflex toys are non-toxic.
Durable, buoyant, eco-friendly, made in the USA, non-toxic, colorful and guaranteed — each Zogoflex toy brings great things together in one completely fun package.
Mini Hurleys (MSRP $7.95)
Mini Ziscs (MSRP $10.95).

Woodland Trails: Fishing the St. Croix River
I was driving over the I-94 bridge at Hudson last week and noticed that the river was about half open and half frozen. In the sunshine the water was a brilliant blue but with the ice closing in it looked frigid and dangerous so far away below the bridge. Looking closer, I saw two blue ice shacks on the ice and two four-wheelers next to them. I was surprised to see that they seemed to be within 50 yards of open water!

Dallas in December - Packing List
Luggage and bags: Always travel small. If you are coming by plane, just bring a carry on bag. No one will notice if you wear the same pair of jeans on a couple days of the trip!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: December in Dallas is truly a mixed bag. So far in 2007, we have had a day in the 80's several in the 30's, and plenty in between. The normal average is in the high 50's, so bring a couple things for the warmer side of that and for the colder side of that.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Available for purchase very easily around the greater DFW area.
March Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The temperature for the most part in March is going to be mild, although Dallas has been known to have winter slip past the end of February a couple times. Overall, around the middle of March however the entire day will be nice and calm. You will most likely want to wear short sleeves and a light pair of pants or jeans, but I would keep a light jacket, possibly even a rain jacket with you in case the occasional drizzle makes it way.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Dallas is a very metropolitan area, so the chances of you needing camping gear are slim to none.
Bring sunscreen
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you are coming to Dallas from April-mid September, bring light clothes and sunscreen. Also bring a raincoat, you never know what the weather will do. Bug replient isn't a bad idea either.
From late September-March, the weather remains usually around 50-60 degrees. Very pleasent. Snow is rare, but sometimes there are cold spells. Bring a coat just in case.
Packing List
Luggage and bags: A leedle help from our friends!
A friend of mine sent this today...and I just had to share it with y'all!!
Packing List
Miscellaneous: Don't forget to leave home without your Java-enabled Smartcard so you can read email where ever you go.

HV Dems Blast Court's Budget Decision
By Allison Dunne
Kingston, NY – New York's Court of Appeals has ruled that the state legislature cannot amend the language of the governor's budget proposals. In the Hudson Valley, area lawmakers say the decision translates into gridlock in Albany. Democratic Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, who has been calling for constitutional reform, says Thursday's decision is a "prescription for chaos." WAMC's Hudson Valley Chief Allison Dunne has more.

any NOT completely invasive?????
Is there such a thing as a ground cover that doesn't want to take over the world?
I have every ground cover known to man and then some: English Ivy, Ajuga, Variegated Goutweed, Creeping Phlox, Creeping Jenny, Wild Ginger, Dwarf Plumbago, Sweet Woodruff, Blue Geranium, Heuchera, Daylillies, Golden Creeping Charlie, Pachysandra, Vinca, Hostas, Ferns. ARRRRGHHHH. I'm suffocating in ground covers!!!!
I mostly hate the ivy which is so thick the roots are like steel to rip out. And the Varigated Goutweed that grows under and around my perenial shrubs right up against their trunks. Boy do I hate the look of this. And it's too tall for a ground cover even before those ugly flowers shoot up. UGH.
I love my Creeping jenny, so far, is sweet and lovely around my water garden. The Vinca hasn't gone crazy yet either. And the creeping phlox is gorgeous lavender in Spring and then the Heuchera and Daylillies are pretty.
What's a girl to do short of ripping out my own hair WHICH IS EASIER THAN RIPPING OUT SOME OF THESE GROUND COVERS!!!
Depending on the space, I'd use hostas! some of the small ones, like Allen P. McConnell, Twist of Lime and Lemon Lime, fill in very quickly where you put them (I plant them about 6" apart in areas that I want to fill in), but they don't crawl away from the area. Lancifolia is the old standard groundcover hosta, but it gets a little larger.

What I dislike the most about Office 2013.. is the "File" menu. Clicking file no longer shows a menu (keeping what you are working on visible), oh no.. it has to take you to a "File Screen". I get that it's a get rid of the start menu and make it a start screen, so logically we should remove the file menu and make it a file screen.. but in some cases.. a simple menu is fine.

Terrifying 911 call made after 4-month-old abducted
A terrifying 911 call made moments after a four-month-old girl was taken in Holly Hill Tuesday reveals the panic one family suffered after seven armed men forced their way into a home on Catamont Road.
Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said officers were called shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday to the home where they were told seven unknown men with guns forced their way in and forced three adults and six juveniles to the floor.
Police also said a 52-year-old woman was hit in the head with a gun while protecting her grandson.
Officials said the four-month-old girl, who was later found alone on a highway in the next county, was unharmed.

I created some artwork of the legendary Japanese female warrior known as Tomoe Gozen. I based my interpretation closely on an original print created between 1808-1880 by the artist Shuntei Katsukawa. You can see a photograph of the original print here.
The t-shirt was created for a fundraising Grapplethon in Bristol hosted by Artemis BJJ in aid of Equality Now.
I have a one-off, sized A2 print in full colour and one t-shirt (size Medium or Large) available on Ebay. All profits from the auction will be donated to the Grapplethon fundraising account.
The print is made with archival Ultrachrome inks on Hahnemuehle German Etching heavyweight art paper.

Review - Tatami Fightwear Estilo 5
Tatami Fightwear continue their top of the line range of regular BJJ gis with this, the number 5 incarnation of their popular Estilo range. It offers the same solid, well built characteristics of the previous Estilos with smart new graphics and an added inner yoke liner. There is also a wider side vent, something they refer to as the Y-shaped vent, although I was not wholly convinced of its functional merits.
I have produced a number of designs on a freelance basis for Tatami Fightwear. I have had no involvement with this product. All views expressed are my own.

Price: £99

DVD Review - Ryan Hall, The Open Elbow
A close examination of jiu jitsu positions and techniques based around the concept of opening the opponent's elbow away from their torso, ie the open elbow. This set includes a detailed breakdown of how the kimura lock and the omoplata, among others, work by focusing on the open elbow. Ryan Hall brings his usual high verbal output to the chapters, informing the viewer with a perhaps more conceptual led instructional set compared to his previous offerings.

Someone asked me how many BJJ gis I have designed or featured my artwork. I had to check back at my archives because I honestly couldn't remember. The first gi I designed was back in 2011, actually two assignments came along at the same time, one for Black Eagle Fightwear to design the Raptor gi and another for Ronin Brand to design a bunch of samurai themed gi colourways. Happy days!
I'm thankful for all the brand owners who entrusted me with artwork design and for the punters who liked them enough to spend their hard earned money. Here's to many more gi designs for the future!
You'd have to be living under a rock not to notice the riot of colour that is the brand, Newaza Apparel. For just over a year or so they've been rolling out crazy design after crazy design, and the people love them! I have even got onto the Newaza Express too with my own contributions - the Slow Your Roll snails T-shirt and the Season's Beatings Xmas sweater.

Gi Review - Shoyoroll 7th Son II
A stunningly designed gi featuring the artwork of MMA fighter, BJJ black belt and tattoo artist Luke Stewart. Luke owns the tattoo shop Seventh Son, hence the name of this gi. This gi was light, comfortable and, despite the in-built liner, cool to wear. There was a slight issue with the drawstring, but apart from that, the gi performed admirably over 2 months of solid rolling.
This gi was only available as a strictly limited edition kimono. As with most previous Shoyoroll batch releases, these gis sold out within a very short time on release day. I bought my model from UK distributor, Grapplers Delight for £150 incl postage.
I have no personal or business connection with Shoyoroll. All views expressed in this review are my own.

Last weekend saw the inaugural staging of the Polaris Professional Jiu-Jitsu Invitational, or just Polaris Pro, at Cardiff St David's Hall in Wales. It featured eight grappling matches between 16 high level competitors and was available to view via a pay-per-view livestream or as a spectator at the event itself. Each match brought its own drama and exciting action with four matches ending in a submission. The live stream functioned admirably and the event itself proceeded smoothly.

Review - DVD: Ryan Hall, The Deep Half Guard
The deep half guard is a bottom game position that places you directly beneath the opponent's centre of gravity. By securing your body to one of his legs, it creates a deep instability in his position that will allow you to sweep the opponent with, in theory, a high percentage of success. To novices, it seems counterintuitive to place ones body position in such a seemingly prone manner, but this instruction set quickly reveals the strengths and advantages to using deep half guard.
Ryan Hall explains each chapter with an incredible amount of detail. The entire first disc covers entries to the deep half (which he suggests is not covered as adequately in other instructionals). Disc two covers the actual deep half position in further detail along with sweeps and passes. Disc three continues disc two with somewhat more advanced situations, especially when under pressure. Throughout, Ryan's familiar high verbal output (ie he talks a lot) will arm the viewer with a firm understanding of the concepts behind an effective deep half position which should ultimately lead to a higher percentage success rate. I enjoyed this set a lot and it helped me overcome my own deep half guard phobias.
Available to purchase from the Ground Fighter website.
Cost - $124.99
Length - (disc one 1hr 30min / disc two 1hr 51 / disc three 1hr 23mins)
I have no business or personal connection to the producers of this product. I bought this DVD box set directly from the ground fighter website.

A review of my year in 2014
2014 has turned out to be a fantastic year for all things Meerkatsu. My own brand fightwear and clothing line-up included a number of major releases which were thankfully very successfully received. I still managed to complete several big freelance design assignments and I even found time to review some gear too. BJJ training has been reasonably consistent - with my work and family commitments, I'm never going to be one of those guys who can train every day but after 11 years of training BJJ, I still love every session.
Here's my year round-up in more detail:

Major international artists are being commissioned to create public works of art for the new 600,000 sq. m Hamad International Airport, which is due to open in Qatar this month.
There will be 14 commissions by national and international artists, according to the local blog Marhaba. "The airport commissions are exciting," says a spokeswoman for the Qatar Museums Authority (QMA), although she declined to comment further. Dealers are bound by confidentiality agreements, but The Art Newspaper understands that conversations are under way with major European and US artists. Details of the works, which have been commissioned by Jean-Paul Engelen, the director of public art programmes for the QMA, have yet to be finalised. The authority is also planning other large-scale public works for various sites, including Katara, which is home to the QMA Gallery, the Qatar Fine Arts Society, the Visual Arts Centre and the Qatar Photographic Society, among others. The QMA's first public commission, installed in MIA Park in Doha in December 2011, was 7, an 80ft-high sculpture by the US artist Richard Serra. Qatar was revealed to be the world's biggest buyer of Modern and contemporary art by The Art Newspaper in 2011 (see related link above). The Gulf state is building up a first-class collection of art, and is planning to "deliver a series of exciting cultural projects in time for the [football] World Cup in 2022", said Edward Dolman, who is on the board of the QMA, in 2011.

RELEASE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2014 Dear Ann Landers: I have been married for three years, and it is obvious that my mother does not like my wife.

He romances them with his poetry, and sometimes he sends roses. Recently, I caught him pulling feathers from my …Read more.more articles
Editor's Note: Hundreds of Ann Landers' loyal readers have requested that newspapers continue to publish her columns. These letters originally appeared in 1999.
Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I have been married for 12 years and are unable to have children. A year ago, my niece, "Nicole," became pregnant by her boyfriend, who then left her. She was 18. He was 20.
When her boyfriend walked out, my husband and I offered to adopt the baby. Nicole said she wanted to put the experience behind her and agreed to the adoption. The papers were signed. We live in another city, so we invited Nicole to move in with us until the baby was born. I accompanied her to the obstetrician during her pregnancy, and my husband and I were with her when she gave birth to her son.
Two days ago, Nicole's mother (my sister) called to say Nicole wants the baby back. It seems she and the ex-boyfriend have settled their differences and are going to be married. My sister matter-of-factly described the previous breakup as a "misunderstanding" and said the kids want to raise their son.
Ann, there are no words to describe how we feel. We want to retain custody of our son, but we don't want to put him through a long and protracted custody battle. Do you have any advice? We are — Living a Nightmare in New York State
Dear N.Y.: Check with a lawyer, and learn what your chances are of winning custody. If it is likely that you will lose the child, give him up willingly and avoid an ugly court fight that could drag on for years and create wounds that may never heal. I wish you luck.
Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I have been married for 18 years. We have two fine children. Five years ago, my husband had an affair. I was devastated when I learned about it, but I did forgive him. He promised never to see the woman again, and he has kept his word.
Here's the problem, Ann. The woman has kept in close touch with my in-laws for the past five years.
My nerves are completely shot, and I am beginning to develop health problems over this. Can you help me? — Hurt in Alabama
Dear Alabama: You cannot do anything about that woman, but you can do something about yourself. Get some counseling at once. I've often said, "Nobody can take advantage of you without your permission," and the same goes for "torturing." You must put on an emotional raincoat and let whatever comes your way slide off.
As for your mother-in-law, you have no right to dictate to her who she should socialize with, so again, dear, put on that raincoat. Meanwhile, your doctor can give you something to settle your nerves.
Dear Ann Landers: My best friend is slitting her wrists. I know she doesn't want to end her life, but whenever she has a bad day at school or problems at home, she cuts herself. The last time she did this, I threatened to tell her parents, but she pleaded with me to keep quiet and promised she would never do it again.
We are both 14. She is my best friend, and I want her to be happy and healthy. What can I do to help her? — Just Me in Philadelphia
Dear Philadelphia: You must insist that your friend get some counseling at once. She should see the school nurse, the family doctor or her favorite teacher. Self-mutilation is a serious problem and requires immediate attention. Don't delay, and don't let her talk you out of it.

FTR post: No Selke for Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk
by George Malik on 06/20/12 at 10:38 PM ET
Comments (9)
As noted by MLive's Ansar Khan, the Associated Press and others, Patrice Bergeron won the Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward, with Wings center Pavel Datsyuk finishing 3rd in voting.
The voting for the top ten, via me, on Twitter:
Selke votes in "points": Bergeron 1,312 Backes 698 Datsyuk 553 Callahan 326 Kesler 152 Toews 117 Fisher 72 Staal 67 Kopitar 62 Sharp 52.
Wings mentions in awards thus far: Holland got 8 points in GM's award, Babs got 1 3rd place vote for Adams..Nick 132 points & 5th in Norris.
Nicklas Lidstrom finished 6th in Lady Byng balloting with 247 points, and Datsyuk finished 9th with 137.
Update: Via RedWingsFeed, the one question: Who's the lady accompanying Datsyuk to the awards in the Detroit News's AP report? He very quietly got divorced a couple of seasons ago, and that ain't Elizabeth.
Filed in: | The Malik Report | Permalink
I came back to this entry to ask the same question, George, but I know noted that you've updated the entry. You know there will be a LOT of people asking the same question.
Posted by Bugsy on 06/21/12 at 01:27 AM ET
The Red Wings' website posted the picture, too, so it's apparently not, as Datsyuk would say, a KGB secret.

There's another one in Daylife's Wings gallery. I don't want to really talk about it after this…I'd prefer to let other people ask the questions, mostly because I've assumed that he got divorced, but can't confirm that, and…
It's his private life.

Ted went with his wife and I believe a couple of his daughters per his Twitter account, @TedLindsay07.

Sorry, consider it dropped.
Posted by Bugsy on 06/21/12 at 01:44 AM ET
No no, you can talk about it all you want. I just don't want to be the conversation starter too regularly. If I make a point of it in my blog entries, well, that's not very professional of me. Once I put stuff out there, it's up to everybody else to comment on it…and I just want to tread lightly myself out of professional courtesy and respect for the guy.
That's part of my job description.
Posted by George Malik from South Lyon, MI on 06/21/12 at 02:09 AM ET
I understand George. I think I (and a lot of people) have got caught up in the "just because we can find out anything, especially with the internet, we should" mindset. We are all far from perfect, but you reminded me I'd rather come closer to the professional standard/courtesy/respect you're holding yourself to for myself, too,... well, at least most of the time
Good night, George

That's his business, but if Pavel's happy, I'm happy.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's foreign exchange regulator has removed the $1 billion limit for foreign sovereign wealth funds, central banks and monetary authorities buying Chinese assets through the Qualified Institutional Investor Programme (QFII).
The new regulations, published on the website of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), did not specify a new top limit, merely that the funds can apply to invest over $1 billion.
The policy is aimed at sovereign wealth funds like Qatar Holdings and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, both of which have already been approved to invest up to $1 billion each through QFII.
SAFE will retain the right to approve or deny individual applications on a case-by-base basis.
Chinese regulators have said in the past that facilitating increased foreign investment in Chinese assets will help restore confidence in China's stock markets, which have declined by over 60 percent since November 2007.
But the total amount of foreign money allowed to enter the domestic stock market remains small, and the new rules do not increase it.
Combined foreign investment in China's stock market accounts for only 1 percent of total market capitalization.
The overall net quota for the QFII programme remains at its current $80 billion, of which SAFE has only allocated $36 billion for use by QFII funds as of November 30.
Foreign appetite for Chinese equities has shown some signs of increase in recent months, especially in Hong Kong, but the weak performance of stock-focused QFII funds - and complaints about high fee structures - has dampened appetite.
(GRAPHIC: Comparison of QFII fund performances in China link.reuters.com/xun34t)
To drum up additional interest, Chinese regulators, including officials from the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, went on an overseas tour in September to advocate for Chinese equities and QFII in particular.
The new regulations also relax restrictions on the ability of funds to remit principal and income from investments, but made no further clarifications as to how China will tax QFII profits, an area of enduring uncertainty for QFII investors.
Chinese stock markets on Friday had their biggest single-day jump since 2009, which some analysts attributed to expectations of further relaxation of rules on foreign investment in stocks.
Others, however, offered alternative explanations for the unusual jump, such as behind-the-scenes share buybacks by state-owned entities trying to engineer a rebound for the end of the year.

NEWARK, N.J. — Matt Moulson scored the only goal of the shootout in the sixth round and the New York Islanders opened the season with a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday night.
Evgeni Nabokov made 26 saves and stopped all six Devils shots in the shootout as the Islanders won a season opener for the first time since 2007.
Michael Grabner scored two goals and set up another by Frans Nielsen for the Islanders.
Recently signed free agent Damien Brunner scored twice for the Devils, while fellow newcomer Michael Ryder had the other.
Martin Brodeur, whose father, Denis, died last week, had 23 saves in his first game of the season. Cory Schneider was in goal in the Devils' 3-0 loss in Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Brodeur stopped the Islanders first five shootout attempts before Moulson put a shot just under the crossbar.
Senators 1, Sabres 0
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Erik Karlsson scored with 1:35 remaining in the third period and Craig Anderson stopped 35 shots in leading the Ottawa Senators to a season-opening win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Former Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur set up the goal to spoil the Sabres' home opener.
Driving up the left wing, MacArthur slipped a pass through the middle to set up Karlsson alone in the right circle. Karlsson got just enough of the puck to direct it toward the net and under goalie Ryan Miller's legs.
Miller had a solid outing despite the loss in stopping 45 shots.
Karlsson's goal came a half-minute after Anderson made a huge glove save at the other end, stopping rookie Zemgus Girgensons' shot from the high slot.
Flames 4, Blue Jackets 3
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jiri Hudler and Curtis Glencross scored goals 42 seconds apart in the third period to lead the Calgary Flames to a victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Rookie Sean Monahan picked up his first NHL goal and T.J. Galiardi had a goal and an assist for the Flames, who opened their season with a 5-4 loss at Washington on Thursday night.
Goalie Joey MacDonald made 29 saves.
Jack Johnson and Marian Gaborik each had a goal and an assist for the Blue Jackets, brimming with optimism after a strong finish to last season.
Artem Anisimov added a late goal and Sergei Bobrovsky, winner of the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie last year, made 26 saves.
Red Wings 3, Hurricanes 2, OT
RALEIGH, N.C. — Stephen Weiss scored at 3:13 of overtime and the Detroit Red Wings rallied to beat the Carolina Hurricanes.
Henrik Zetterberg scored with 16.4 seconds left in the third to tie it, Justin Abdelkader scored and Jimmy Howard stopped 23 shots to help the Red Wings win their first road game since moving to the Eastern Conference.
Radek Dvorak and Nathan Gerbe scored in their debuts with Carolina, which led 2-0 in the third period but lost its opener for the fourth time in five seasons.
Justin Faulk added two assists and Cam Ward made 35 saves for the Hurricanes.
Zetterberg sent it into overtime when he pushed a loose puck past Ward after a scramble in front of the net. Ward lost his stick while stopping a shot from Daniel Alfredsson a moment earlier.
Weiss then ended it when he stuffed a loose puck past Ward.

Probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Beds might as well have been rocks.Shower had others hair in the stall room was small. Heater didnt work well.
Review collected in partnership with Travelodge
It's the sort of place to stay if you're on a super tight budget. It's not pretty, but it is fairly clean, and very close to old town. You are right across the street from the co op. The shower head hits back of the neck area. But they do in fact have smoking rooms, which is very nice. Also...
While coming back from San Francisco to Portland, I and my friends took US 101 route and decided to stay at Travelodge @ Eureka, CA. First I reach Eureka only at 11 PM night. We were able to get the keys. Front desk guy was nice enough to come and help us as normal. I intend to book one room...
We were travelling across highway 101 and our car broke down. We already had a hotel reservation in San Francisco, but due to the car, we stayed at the Eureka Travelodge. The hotel owner welcomed us very warmly, helped us get settled, and found the nearest auto repair shop for us. We were pleasantly surprised by the many beautiful Victorian...
Clean, small, old, if your paying $50 your not getting a Marriott. Bathroom could be remodeled but it is an economy motel for a reason. Would definitely. It was close to downtown and walking distance to restaurant. The desk staff was friendly. Coffee pots and ice machine were convenient.
Came to Eureka and stayed at the Travelodge Inn. As with any hotel there are pros and cons...pros: price, location, comfortable bed, super nice hotel staff. Cons: road noise from hwy101 (but it quiets down at night), no AC. Overall I think the price was a bargain and I would stay here again.
My husband and I stayed here for 1 night whilst on a West Coast road trip. The hotel was dated but the rooms were very clean and it had all the amenities you could need for a good nights rest - comfy/clean bed, working coffee machine, good TV, phone, big closet, hot shower! Plus it is right on the highway...
Good hotel for good price, perfect to spend one night during the travel, I didn't noticed something that I don't like there, everything great!I like good working hot shower, coffee in the room and big closet...

Palace King equivalent
My favorite cuke is Palace King, but I have all my seeds this year except it and am not enjoyin the thought of paying Burpee shipping for one pack of seeds. I can't find it on any seed racks around here. Does anyone know a suitable equivalent? Thanks.
Hi Helen. Oh my gosh LOL! Well at least something good came out of my dilemma. After reading your reply, Burpee no longer had the free shipping offer.
Palace King is very tasty, and stays that way. Its by far my favorite, I'm not sure where it rates on the disease resistant scale but it's a must have for me. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
I assume it is for fresh eating. Dawn has me buying those pickle mixes. A jar of pickles lasts me a long time, but I am going to try canning some this year. Do you know if Palace King makes good pickles? I am buying lots of cucumber seeds because I do love them. Diva is another I recently bought. I know I will be giving some away this summer if it rains and the bugs don't bite.

CVS Black Friday Ad 2014
CVS Pharmacy
CVS Black Friday 2013 Ad
CVS Black Friday 2013 Ad
CVS Pharmacy 2012 Black Friday Ad
I have always been an avid Black Friday shopper, taught at a young age by my mother how to hunt down a deal. And as I have gotten older, I would like to believe that I have taught her some things as well. One of my favorite Black Friday deal stops is at CVS. This may seem a bit unusual for those more accustomed to the lines at big box stores, but this drugstore chain has some enticing offers on Black Friday.
It was about two years ago that I first noticed what great deals CVS offers on the day after Thanksgiving. By combining the sale specials with store coupons, manufacturer's coupons, and the reward bucks earned with my CVS card I often come out with free items and more reward bucks to use later. For a true bargain lover like me, a deal like this is the ultimate score.
Typically the items I get that day are not over the top high-priced items, but they are daily necessities that I would purchase anyway. Name brand shampoos, pain relief medicine, and food items like Fiber One brownie bars are simply a few things I have scored for free during past Black Friday sales events.
These lower priced items do not appeal to all shoppers, and that is one of the great things about shopping this deal. CVS keeps their sales going all day as they can hardly compete with door busters on flat screen TVs or diamond jewelry. My personal strategy has been to make this one of my last stops of the day. Sometimes I even go home first and go back out much later to collect my CVS deals. There is no need to rush over, and the drug store often keeps late hours so this can easily fit into the later part of Black Friday when many other stores have cut back on their deals.

Height of Reine des Violettes in a Dry Climate
I received my RdV two days ago from Greenmantle Nursery and it will go in the ground today. Placement is a bit of a problem since this was something of an impulse purchase and this is not a rose I can plop just anywhere because of its size and its need for afternoon shade. I've picked out a spot about 1 1/2 yards in front of Mutabilis, my only fear being that it may get as tall as M, which I would not want. M is just about the only rose in my garden that has attained its expected height. All of my teas are still relatively short compared to what others have reported. I now suspect (took me only 7 years) that when the platform of the house was cut into the side of the hill there was precious little if any topsoil left and this, in addition to the heat, has caused the poor performance of so many of my roses. There's not a whole lot more I can do now than to mulch with organic matter, leaves and rabbit droppings to attempt to improve the situation.
I was wondering whether any of you are growing Reine des Violettes in hot and dry conditions, and what height your rose has achieved. It seems to be a large sprawler in more humid, rainy environments, but I would like to keep mine at not much over five feet. Does that seem like a feasible possibility?
I am NOT in a dry climate at all but my RdV is huge! It's at least 10 feet tall and probably 6 feet wide and that's tied up, as best I can, to a trellis. I have no idea how much it might spread if it weren't tied. She is just gorgeous though when she blooms and you can smell her from across the yard!
Our climate is hot and humid, my RDV is just over 5' tall and about 3' wide, rather upright in growth. Got this adult plant from Eurodesert when they were closing, and really love the blooms. I do prune it down quite a bit in February, one of the few ogrs that I do prune. This has so far kept the size in bounds. It's on the east side of the house, gets afternoon shade.
Reine des Violettes hardly grew for me at all, and I gave it about 4 years to show its stuff. Chlorotic all the time. I don't know if it was the alkaline soil or the salts in our water. YMMV, and I do hope it does. At its best it is a glorious rose. I really wanted it to do well.
Thanks for sharing your experience, rosefolly. All I can do is hope that it will be happier here. At any rate, I've wanted to try it for years and at least I'll know with certainty that I wasn't meant to have it. Right now it's three bare, smooth canes, not a sign of anything positive yet, but I'm hopeful. I'll give an update here in the spring.
