South Lake Tahoe, California includes the Southern shore of the picturesque Lake Tahoe, next to the Nevada border. Part of this town is residential; however, the east end is geared toward tourism. Whether your visit is for snowy activities or a summer splash in the lake, there are plenty of things to do. Check out Choice Hotels in South Lake Tahoe for a tranquil place to rest between outings.
After you arrive, check out these popular attractions:
Hikers will find Mt. Tallac Trail a challenge but well worth the spectacular views from the mountaintop. The trail measures 9.6 miles out and back with an elevation of 3,255 feet. There are plenty of lake views and opportunities to spot wildlife.
If you are looking for a panoramic view of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, take a ride in an eight-passenger glass cabin at The Gondola at Heavenly. This works just like a ski lift and takes you on a 2.4-mile ride. You can hop off at the top observation deck to shoot pictures and grab a coffee at their cafe.
Go back to the early years in Tahoe at the Tallac Historic Site. Stroll through vintage summer homes and gardens of four wealthy families of the 1930s. Museum lovers will truly enjoy the artifacts in these dwellings.
At the head of Emerald Bay, you can take a one-mile hike to view a historic castle-like home with Scandinavian architecture and magnificent nature. Vikingsholm was the summer home of Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight in 1929. Tours are available seven days a week.
A 72-mile ride around the Shoreline of Tahoe will truly give you a feel of this city and its gifts of nature. There are plenty of lookout spots with stellar views, along with picnic areas, riding stables and food venues.
Walk the sand and take a swim at Pope Beach. Calm waters and sunshine make for a perfect day of relaxation for the entire family. There are freestanding barbecues and picnic facilities.
Wind down and rest at an inviting South Lake Tahoe hotel, and plan your itinerary for your next day of adventures. Choice Hotels will make your stay a memorable one.

A combined Hispanic portal will combine Yahoo's strength in services with Telemundo's broadcast and Web programming.
Yahoo is merging its Spanish language site, Yahoo en español, with NBC Universal's Telemundo.com to create a more potent Hispanic portal at telemundo.yahoo.com.
The new offering will combine Telemundo's broadcast telenovelas, sports programming and other original content with Yahoo's strength in services, including messaging, search and community features.
The venture will aggregate 11.5 million monthly uniques, according to the companies, a larger U.S. Hispanic audience than has previously existed online.
"This exciting and historic integration between these two powerful Internet entities will afford advertisers a more powerful platform and a competitive marketing edge to reach a gargantuan audience that has been relatively untapped," said Keith Turner, president of NBC Universal Sales and Marketing, in a statement.
The two companies will combine their staff and split ad revenue earned from the portal, which will eventually replace existing Web sites at espanol.yahoo.com and telemundo.com. So far, the integration only consists of shared branding on the front page of both sites. The merger will be implemented in phases over the course of several months.
The deal involved no equity investment from either partner.
Sales efforts will be led by Luis Romero, formerly of Univision Online. Univision has unitl now been the dominant U.S. Hispanic portal.
The move fits with comments Yahoo Media head Lloyd Braun made two months ago to the effect the company would move away from developing original shows for the Web, but rather would partner with owners of existing content.

Palmer Merlot
Palmer - New York - United States - Long Island - North Fork
Merlot has long been a grape associated with excellent quality of character and flavor, and has spread around the globe as a result of its relative hardiness and reliability. From Chile to Bordeaux, Merlot vines grow to ripeness, and end up producing a remarkably wide variety of wines. Single variety wines made from Merlot grapes tend to be beautifully rich in color, and packed full of jammy, hedgerow flavors and notes of plum and currant, and ideal for newcomers to red wines as a result of their medium body. This medium body comes about due to the fact that the skin of Merlot grapes tends to be quite thin, meaning that the tannin content of Merlot wines is lower than those made from other blue-black grapes. The mellowness and roundedness which results is ideal for blending, also, and Merlot is used as a blending grape in some of the world's finest wineries, to produce aged wines of exceptional character.
New York state has a relatively long history of wine-making and vineyard cultivation, with vineyards in the region dating back to the Dutch settlements of the 17th century. As such, the region has slowly discovered the unique qualities of their terroir, and has developed a distinctive set of grape varietals which have gone on to represent the state and make their wines both unique and highly regarded. New York state has four key wine producing areas Lake Erie AVA, Finger Lakes AVA, Hudson River and Long Island, each making the most of their relatively cool climate and characterful terroirs. The strong blend of both traditional and contemporary wine making methods found in this region has led to New York state being responsible for many of the finest and most interesting wines to come out of the United States.
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.

"Whether my songs are flavoured with folk, celtic, country or rock influences, my goal is to write music from the soul." David Leask
Getting back to the basic elements of great music often involves a deep look below the surface, a mining of the heart and soul and a time of reflection and rediscovery. Two-time International Songwriting Competition Winner David Leask has done all of this and more to craft his 4th studio album "Underneath". Leask's first full-length release in over 8 years, "Underneath" ushers in a new artistic era for this musical lifer and multi-award winner who's enjoyed comparisons to such master storytellers as John Prine and John Hiatt. Co-produced by Leask and Juno-winning multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Justin Abedin and mixed by Grammy winner Chad Carlson, "Underneath" is a deeply evocative, soul-stirring collection that stands as a high watermark along an adventurous, strongly independent and continually evolving career path.
Following 3 critically acclaimed releases garnering national airplay on radio and CMT, "Underneath" is the rich and robust culmination of thousands of shows played, over 100 songs written, the stellar contributions of over 25 world class musicians, and many inventive days and nights of bringing it all to life in 6 Toronto and Nashville studios. Still, Leask attributes just one week in 2012 spent immersed in world renowned bass player Victor Wooten's Music and Nature Camp near Nashville with hitting his artistic restart button and bringing him back to the foundations of music making. David recalls "When I left there I felt closer to the core of my musical instincts and had a clearer vision for the kind of record I wanted to make."
From the curiosity-piquing guitar arpeggio that introduces "Words" to the poignant vocal declaration that closes "This Time 'Round", "Underneath" provides a revealing and relatable view of what's beneath the waves of everyday life, love and the world as we know it. Leask co-wrote 11 of the album's 13 tracks. Songs such as the title track "Underneath", "Photosynthesis" and "One Second Look" shed refreshingly mature perspectives on personal relationships. Others like "Freedom by the Barrel", "Ready to Buy" and "Breathing" go even deeper to tackle and examine social conditions such as war mongering, rampant consumerism and the struggle for peace amidst chaos. Leask also recorded two songs penned by celebrated Nashville writers Doug Gill ("Stronger Back") and Darrell Scott & Beth Neilsen Chapman ("This Time Round") that thematically and stylistically compliment the collection as a whole. "I wanted to make the listening experience very much a dynamic journey, almost like the listener is at a great live show", David explains.
Long before American Idol brought the excitement of talent competitions into our living rooms, Leask and his band won the BBC-televised National Rock School Competition in his native Scotland and his musical die was cast. Twenty years later, Leask's polished, yet rootsy, charm-filled performances garnered him the Mississauga Performing Artist of the Year Award. A songwriter's songwriter, Leask has also gathered numerous honours for his songwriting, most recently in the USA Songwriting Competition. Songwriters Magazine called Leask, "the most consistent Canadian songwriting competition winner."
Leask takes his innate ability to connect with an audience into the classroom as well, teaching songwriting in schools as a mentor for the School Alliance of Student Songwriters as well as the Songwriters' Association of Canada. David notes, "It's refreshing and inspiring for me to go into the classroom and experience the exchange of creativity and the unjaded imagination of the kids while I'm teaching."
With "Underneath", Leask has taken his influences from both sides of the Atlantic and forged an album of meticulously-crafted, vigorously road-tested songs. The result is an exhilarating, genre-surfing journey that traverses rhythm and bluegrass, country and soul, roots and rock. David adds, "More than any previous record, people can get a deeper sense of who and where I am. In a sense, they can meet me in the music."
"At our Canada Day celebrations where attendance reached in excess of 25,000 people, I was really impressed with David's ability to translate his songs with such energy. He proved to me that his show reaches many audiences and keeps them wanting more."
Joe Novak, Programming Manager, Mel Lastman Square, Toronto
"David is awesome. His songwriting is beautiful and in concert he is able to tell stories which draw the audience into the web he is spinning. He is articulate about many topics which means his songs attract a wide ranging audience."
Allyson Macdonald, Stonecroft Folk, House Concert Series
"David Leask and sideman Justin Abedin enthralled us all with two forty minutes sets filled with songs of life, love and everyday events. David's voice is so smooth and both he and Justin can play mean guitars. It is so amazing when such a full sound comes out of just two players."
Suzy Miller, Presenter, Lighthouse Festival Theatre, Port Dover
"I was so impressed with David's songwriting and great vocals. At our event, he was a fantastic singer and songwriter. We will definitely have him back in the future."

[today i am beyond thrilled to welcome back paige anderson appel to d*s- as a monthly contributor! i've been wanting to expand the entertaining content on d*s for a while, but since i'm not a pro, i thought i'd call in someone who is! paige will be joining us every month, along with kelly harris of yes, please (with whom she runs bash, please), with an entertaining idea inspired by a different location around the world! welcome, paige!]
Hello! I'm thrilled to be back at Design Sponge as a monthly contributor for entertaining ideas. For my column inspiration, I decided to go global and focus on a specific region each month. To throw a little excitement into the mix I will blindfold myself, spin the globe, and unknowingly stop it wherever my finger lands. That region will be the basis for my entertaining idea. (Yes, I promise to hold myself to the province landed upon, no re-spins). Lucky me! The first spin landed me in Seattle, Washington. I brought my partner in crime, Kelly Harris, on board to help me plot the perfect Seattle shindig.
When I landed on Seattle the first thought that came to my mind was: coffee. What's more representative of Seattle than coffee? (Ok, maybe grunge music, but we'll leave that – and Courtney Love – back in the early nineties) I mentioned this to Kelly and the next thought that popped in her mind was beignets, the perfect accompaniment to the morning joe. (We realize that beignets are traditionally from New Orleans, but we had the most amazing ones on our last jaunt to Seattle). We now had the region, the drink, and the food. These three elements all pointed to the obvious answer of a coffee and beignet brunch. We envisioned a sleepy, grey, Seattle morning with friends snuggly in their Uggs, hot coffee steaming, newspapers being passed, and intellectual chatter abounding. Now we just needed to put our creativity into the party.
On a recent trip to Seattle we were smitten with a new trend popping up in local indie coffee shops: coffee cupping. Coffee cupping is actually a quality control tool used in the industry to determine the aromas and nuanced flavors from a selection of coffees, but in this case it's all about appreciation. A coffee lover's version of wine-tasting, cuppings give connoisseur patrons the chance to appreciate the dynamic and masterful nuances of the roaster's evolving craft. It's a sensual enjoyment of coffee, a shared appreciation for the complex craftmanship that goes into our cup of morning joe. For directions on how intricate cupping works go here: http://coffeegeek.com/guides/beginnercupping/tools. We simplified this and made it a bit more social and manageable.

CLICK HERE for party details, coffee recommendations, downloadable scorecard, decorations, a recipe and music recommendations after the jump!
First, you must buy the best gourmet coffee you can find. Don't even dare think of hitting up Starbucks, even Seattle's coffee-heads have lost faith in the chain. We scouted our most populated coffee houses for the top notch goods. Final contenders chosen were 3 respected brands: Intelligentsia (Brazil bean), Caffe Luxe (Equador), and Equator (blend from Ethiopia, Ecuador, and Sumatra). Before the guests arrived, we spooned the coffee grounds into 3 cups. We taped a number and name to the bottom of each cup to identify which grounds belong to each coffee. Each guest received a score card to rate their thoughts on Acidity, Body, Aroma, and Finish. When the guests sat down to begin the cupping, they smelled the grounds first. A big whiff and noted the aromas. Then we poured hot water on the grounds and they smelled again. The grounds then created a crust, which they then broke, smelled again, and then tasted. Each guest was comparing notes and trying to guess the provenance of the beans. They were passing around their score cards, comparing notes, and sprinkling grounds all over the table. It was quite the buzzed and rowdy group after 3 strong caffeine shots.
(Free downloadable score card right here!)
For the beignets, we decided we would start from scratch with homemade goodness and searched for the simplest recipe we could find. Cooks.com had a quick and flawless user-friendly one and our first time attempt was a huge success. Go here to follow the recipe: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,174,154189-228201,00.html We had a deep fryer, but in the case you don't, be sure you heat your oil on the stove to 375 degrees. Watch out for flying splashes of hot grease!
Cooking tip: the dough is gooey, be sure to have two spoons for dropping the batter in the oil. One spoon for scooping the batter and one spoon for scraping the batter out once you've dipped it in the oil. This keeps them nice and round and prevents them from getting long and stringy.
Cook about 5 minutes, rolling them over with a fork every now and then. Remove and strain the oil on paper or paper towels, then sift on your powder sugar. So unbelievably delicious and easy, there were no leftovers! (I think I ate 10 of them myself while preparing for this shoot).
Our decorations were all DIY Seattle-coffee house-brunch inspired details. We were pondering the things we loved best about coffee shops that were different from homespun brunches and we both laughed and said "all the coffee rings on the tables". What charm and history those rings bring.
We decided to preserve our own dining table and cover it with white butcher paper so that we could use it as 1. a table "cloth" and 2. a canvas for coffee rings. Then a bright light went on: let's make coffee ring place cards. Easy, charming, and unique.
That led us to further ponder, what else could we do with the actual coffee? Dye the brunch napkins. We took white, soft, cotton napkins and dipped them into cooled, brewed coffee until the hue was just right. A perfect chestnut color, then hung them on a line to dry. They also played a hand in the brunch aromas, as they maintained a warm coffee fragrance long after brunch was over. When our guests went to sit down, they immediately asked, "Do these napkins smell like coffee or is it just us"?
For florals, we found 3 old coffee cans and peeled off the label to reveal a beautiful, ribbed, tin; the perfect planter. With the Washington landscape being lush, green, and wet we wanted to capture that feeling and bring it to the table. We created a dense, natural moss runner that laid directly on the paper cloth for a fresh woodland scape. Sprouting out from the moss were Scabiosa, White, Helleborus, Maidenhair Fern, and Lily of the Valley. It was our vision of the wild, evergreen, terrain plucked from the rich Washington landscape and landing on the table as an inspired installation.
For our last touches, we stacked books and newspapers around for conversation pieces and relaxing Sunday morning reading.
Last but definitely not least, you must choose your best coffee house music and create a playlist. Here is a copy of ours. A mellow mix sprinkled with some of Seattle's finest bands, as well as selections from the classic, indie, Seattle based Sub Pop record label.

Beautiful job! The coffee cup rings are adorable.
Lovely! You can buy Cafe du Monde beignet mix at World Market (I'm sure they have it online)! DELISH and super easy!
amazing job!!! love the coffee rings & the coffee dyed napkins!
great feature!
the bash, please ladies are the best! so excited to see them on d*s:)
I suggest that to make the experience even more complete, you should also add green coffee beans from your favorite location to the list and try roasting the beans together. It's an experience that you won't want to miss.
Really REALLY cool idea, ladies! I know more coffee-drinkers than wine-sippers in our group, so this is definitely doable for our next gathering. I appreciate and commend you for going all-out: the dyed napkins, the place-marker rings, the stacks of newspapers…great touches. Thanks! :)
Great post! Can you land in England as well please and do a high tea please? ;) I'm planning one. Love all the details!
Another fabulous spread by Bash, please! You girls seriously speak to my soul!
Looks lovely!
But if you're going to go to the trouble of buying the best coffee (which you should!), the roast should be fresh and the beans ground right before cupping. Otherwise you lose many of the subtleties that make the coffees worth the extra cost. The coffeegeek link you included is a great resource, especially the second page.
If you don't have a good grinder at home, either grind the coffee when you buy it, or make sure it's a week old or less.
As for buying fresh coffee, check the date on the package. If there's no date it's likely rather old. Locally roasted coffee will tend to be fresher, but you have to check. I know Intelligentsia ships coffee the same day it's roasted, however their prices have really jumped over the last couple of years and their coffee has become a rare treat in our house.
wow. i dont know what else to say. just wow.
great idea (the whole globe spin) in itself and i love this post. slightly biased as i adore coffee but great alternative to the standard brunch
Love it! I'll be in Seattle soon so this got me in the mood. :)
Love love love this.
I want one (or two maybe) cup of that coffee!! It looks delicious. Great post. :)
awesome – brings coffee katch to a whole new level. What lovely ideas!!!!!
excellent work! will be fallowing your works its gives me really good inspirations.. thank you!
I love this!! Especially the napkins! What a charming idea!
already planning a cupping party in my head… love the playlist! i <3 sub pop.
amazing! i love this feature, and your approach to writing it!
i live in niagara, ontario, which is a very wine-centric area of canada. we do a LOT of wine tasting, wine pairing, wine list writing, etc. this is a refreshing idea for an event that involves skills that are similar to wine tasting, and the possibilities of coffee pairings are endless!
p.s. also love the playlist :)
Susan, try Lighthouse in Seattle. Great beans! The best beans are online-Old Bisbee Roasters. Fabulous! Fair trade and fantastic coffee! Yum! Think I'll be make some now….
What a fabulous idea! I love coffee, but one can only go out for coffee with friends so many times…. Plus, that tends to limit the amount of people who can come.
I'm really glad you've added an entertaining column as well. I look forward to more locale-inspired ideas!
Intelli coffee is the best. I have the luxury of having it most days here in Silverlake Ca.
Great party idea. Love it!
I like to share my travels with theme-inspired get-togethers. Can't wait to see where you go next.
Oh wow, this is how I want all my weekend to look, feel and taste like! What a creative and inspiring post! Absolutely great!
love the post every thing is attractive, adding the traditional and inspiration from local ideas add an accent to the post
Such a cute idea! I love it!
I was just thinking about "morning happy hours" with coffee the other day. This was executed so well! Such a great idea!
liked this post and idea so much, i had to check it out again! thanks!
This is so cute. I love all the white dishes with the brown of the coffee and paper products. Beautiful!
one of the best ideas I've seen lately, I will replicate this as a gf's book club party!. thanks a lot.
I love this post. Its a great idea for a party. Did you know that Intelligentsia is the home of the 2010 World Champion Barista! I can't wait to take a class at their Roasting Works.
thank you. fabulous post, including playlist.. great touch! feel like I was there!
I tried this for a birthday brunch — spun the globe with my eyes closed and landed on… French Guiana. It was both educational and delicious…
enjoy the fun of the process. when you make the coffee or food with a happy state of mind, the food will be more delicious.
I think it's a shame you and I aren't best friends. Really. I'm superdupercool! You would like me! Please… invite me to your next party ;-)

SHALLOTTE—West Brunswick's loss to Hoggard last Thursday night wasn't the kind of tune-up the Lady Trojans wanted.
Instead, they hope to add new plugs in the form of hits when the state softball playoffs get under way.
West struggled at the plate, while Hoggard pounded 13 hits on the way to a 7-3 win.
"It wasn't our night," West coach Joe Noble said. "There was a lot of nerves because everybody knew it was Senior Night, and there were some college scouts in the stands.
"Everybody has off-nights, and we just had an off-night."
The pre-game ceremony was a salute to West's two seniors: first-team all-conference pitcher Heather Carter and shortstop Amber Rampero, who led the Lady Trojans to runner-up in the Mideastern Conference this season.
Introducing Carter, Noble said she had a .310 batting average, pitched 102 innings this season with 88 strikeouts with an impressive .084 ERA and a 13-4 record.
Rampero, he said, is headed to Penn State next year, after batting .400 with 16 extra base hits. Those include two home runs, two triples and 12 doubles. She also scored 31 runs and drove in 27 runs.
West junior second baseman Stacy Jackson also made first-team all-conference, while sophomore pitcher/first baseman Carly White made second-team.
The Lady Trojans shined defensively in the first two innings. On one play, catcher Anna Hart threw out a Hoggard runner trying to steal second, and shortstop Rampero had the ball in her glove literally waiting to tag the runner out, which she did.
But the Lady Vikings had five hits in the third inning to score two runs. Rampero made a great back-handed catch to save a run when Hoggard had the bases loaded.
However, West's throwing errors started in the third inning and continued in the fifth. Three of the Lady Trojans' five errors for the game were throwing errors.
Hoggard added three more runs in the fifth on three singles and two West errors to take a 5-1 lead. The Lady Vikings added an insurance run in both the sixth and seventh.
"It was a good night," Hoggard coach Colleen St. Ledger said. "We lost a close game Tuesday to New Hanover, so we needed to play better ball, and we did. We backed up our pitching tonight.
"Our two pitchers (Stephanie Simmons and Kelly Maultby) did a wonderful job. It was a total team effort."
Hoggard, 12-8, was set to traveled Raleigh for its playoff game.
West, 18-6, was slated to host Havlock Tuesday, May 13, in its first-round 3A playoff game.
Six different Lady Trojans had one hit against Hoggard—Rampero, White, Hart, Emily Gore, Lucia Bowling and Kristy Vance.
"We got some hits but not together," Noble said.
In the fifth inning, Vance also got hit in the helmet by a pitch. She stole second. When the Hoggard second baseman later stepped for second for an unassisted out, Vance kept running from second and scored.
"Kristy Vance got a hit and showed us her speed tonight," Noble said.
Gore, with her stand-up double to lead off the seventh, had the only extra-base hit of the night. Gore, Vance and Carter scored runs for West.
WP: Stephanie Simmons. LP: Heather Carter (13-5).
Leading Hitters: H—Jordan Adams 2-for-2, Taniqua Smith 2-for-3, Elaine McGuire 2-for-4, B.J. Watkins 2-for-4, Caitlin Bissette 2-for-5. WB—Emily Gore 1-for-3 (2B).

Wonderful value for the money. For 80 euro a night we stayed in the
"new" building, and were pleasantly surprised when we opened
the door to our suite. The included breakfast was nice - wide selection
and great service. Lastly, the location was wonderful - away from the
"touristy" area, so we were able to enjoy Munich like the
locals, but very close to the u train (and within walking distance to
Marienplatz) to easily connect to the tourist sites. - Anonymous
It was very clean and cozy hotel. The room was equipped well enough and pretty silent, therefore neighbors and outside noise were not disturbing during the stay.
The hotel is situated not far from central station (Munich HBF), around 5-10min. of walk distance from it. City center is also relatively close to the hotel, therefore you can reach it very fast. All in all we were quite happy with the hotel. - Anonymous
Hotel was lovely, the staff were great the room was a good size. It has an old world feel to it. Good location. It is a five minute walk to the main christmas Market, and the subway is right outside of the hotel. - Kathleen
Turkenstrasse 50 was in an incredibly good location, perfect for 8
friends needing a place to stay while attending their show at the

Great location - just across the street from Hauptbahnhof and central to many sights. Very nice breakfast for only 3.5 Euro - great value for money! Bathrooms are shared, but always very clean. - Ruan
the location is excellent, the staff are helpful. - Anonymous
Excellent location & easy to find if you arrive in Munich at the main train station. Room was modern, stylish, really clean, and large (especially by European standards). The free wifi worked great.

This Xbox was a replacement for my son's older Xbox that was starting to show signs of age. He loved it. Going from 4GB of storage to 250GB of storage was a huge plus. Also, the addition of the Kinect was a nice bonus.
Shipping was fast, the product came w/o any damages.
this is too much for feed back. But, the unit arrived in a very timely manner in perfect working condition. If you are looking to save tax and a few extra dollars you've made the right choice.
The Kinect is SO fun. I recommend it for people of all ages. the X-BOX was very pretty and shiny =]
Excellent purchase! Shipped very very quickly and arrived safely!
Extremely happy with my purchase. My kids got this unit working in just a few minutes right out of the box. They have had so much fun using it, just make sure you have enough space for the box to work properly. We had to move some furniture around for the sensor to function correctly. Shipping was fast and packaging was great. Buy It!
Best price online and extremely fast shipping! Got mine in perfect condition two days after I ordered it and have been enjoying it thoroughly every day since.

Best place to buy perennials?
Where is your favorite place to buy perennials? Do you buy from catalogs, local nurseries, or other places? I want to find some phlox and geraniums and some other perennials. Any suggestions? Thank you!
My favorite place to buy almost anything garden related is my local nursery. That is not to say I don't order my seeds and an occasional plant from garden catalogues.
I have made friends with the owner who has a degree in horticulture, and he grows most things from seed. I get a healthy dose of info and advice from him and that and his plant warrantees keep me coming back. I may pay a bit extra but what goes with each plant is worth it.
Since I don't have a good source of perennials locally I order a lot of them online. In addition to those already mentioned I like Busse Gardens, Ambergate Gardens, Bluestone Perennials (small, but good root system. For Hostas I like Hallsons (perennials too) Naylor Creek, Northern Grown Perennials. Daylilies..Solaris Farms( a recent order from them included a free three fan clump that was worth more than the rest of my order) Lilies-my fave is The Lily Garden
I absolutly love this nursery i pass on my way home from work, it has so much, and the people there are beyond helpful. The prices are great for things i cant find anywhere else, its actually where i bought my phloxs and geraniums. I went to their open housein october, and bought roses 75% off! I had no room left in my car!
I also shop thebox stores, you cant beat their clearance racks!
I ordered from santarosa gardens website when they had a 2.99 perennial sale. I was very happy with the plants i got! None of them where weak or sickly.
Please support your local nurseries...
(and by that I mean an actual NURSERY, not a big box store or a Wally-World-type place)
If, of course, your local nursery does not carry a selection you covet, there are some great on-line nurseries you can turn to (e.g. Forest Farm)
I've never had great luck with Bluestone Perennials. The plants are sooo small, just starters. Hopefully, the ones I planted this year that never grew any bigger than they started out will grow better and bigger next year. Such a shame because Bluestone is only about a half hour away from me.
I'd say I buy the majority of my perennials from Bluestone. They're my first stop when looking for anything.
Locally, in the last two years I've bought many shrubs from Broken Arrow Nursery in Hamden, CT. I live about a mile or two from a nice nursery, but they really are quite expensive. I do try to buy at least one perennial a year from them, since I do believe in supporting local. businesses, but they are just too expensive for me to buy from on a regular basis.
There is also a garden center/feed store where I buy a lot of plants. They have fairly good quality plants at decent prices.
I've also used Forest Farm & Shooting Star. And I have bought daylilies and irises from Gilbert Wild. I've heard that several people have had problems with them (Wild), but I've yet to have any issues with any daylilies or irises that they sent. I've always had success with their plants, and the price is right.
I second the motion for supporting your local garden centers. I have found that I always get a much bigger plant from them for the same or less money than I do mail order. But, I do order from mail order places for things I cannot find locally.
My faves:
Greer Gardens (Oregon): BIG plants for a decent price. Nice selection.
LazySsfarm: great selection, small but vigorous plants, and reasonable prices.
Forest Farm: by far the biggest selection of anyplace I know. Very reasonable prices, with a choice of small or large sizes. (It definitely pays to buy the larger size on anything that is a "slow" grower.) Very high shipping for my part of the world, but again, a spectacular selection.
Plant Delights: pricey, but plants that are grown in a climate similar to mine. Their plant sizes for the money are nothing to brag about.
I also tried Sooner Plant Farm this year for the first time. I was very impressed with the size of the plants for the price.
All of the above have excellent service.
I've got a few great nurseries near me that I buy most of my plants from. I order perennials from Bluestone if I can't find it locally. They start small but they're healthy and grow fast. I buy roses from Palatine roses who sells the biggest and healthiest and fastest growing roses. I don't buy from Big Box stores anymore because I'd rather spend the extra to support the smaller local nurseries and help them stay in business.
Not much love for "Big Box" stores in this thread, but Lowes and Home Depot are two of my favorite places to buy perennials. Hard to argue with larger plants and lower prices.
Just buy the plants as soon as they come off the truck, before the employees have a chance to kill the plants!

Mono County is facing more upheaval this week after another top county official announced she would retire Feb. 5 and an interim County Administrative Officer (CAO) candidate pulled out at the last minute.
The announcement that risk manager and facilities manager Rita Sherman would retire came through an email to the county supervisors Wednesday, Jan. 23, according to District 1 Supervisor Larry Johnstonãone day after the board of supervisors held its last of three meetings for the month.
Shermanãs retirement brings the number of high-level county administrators that would leaveãor have already leftãMono County in the past month and a half to three. Arkensã last day is Feb. 3 and former Finance Director Brian Muir resigned at the end of December to take a job in Shasta County.
Sherman has been with Mono County for many years as its risk management director. In the past, she also served as the manager for the countyãs facilities department, which was once under the supervision of the public works director, a position the county eliminated years ago.
The same week Sherman announced her retirement, county supervisors were prepared to sign an $81,384 four-month interim CAO contract for former (and currently retired) Mono County Administrative Officer Marlin "Lin" Koesterãa contract that would have been in place until a permanent CAO can be found.
The county supervisors offered Koester the short-term interim administrator job and were set to vote on the contract Tuesday, Jan. 22, when they found out Koester declined the offer for personal reasons.
ãHe apologized for such a late notice,ã said the board of supervisors chair Byng Hunt, who had served with Koester when he was the CAO in the years before Dave Wilbrecht took the job.
Koesterãs decision leaves the county ãback at square one,ã Hunt said.
What happens now?
ãWe are embarking on a three-fold strategy,ã said Hunt. ãWe are going to assign a undesignated current employee to act as an ãinterim-interimã CAO, then contact a pool of available, retired CAO's to pick an interim CAO who will help us in our search for a permanent CAO, and then open up a major recruitment for the finalist for the permanent position.ã
Hunt said the process of finding a final CAO ãwill generate out of closed session discussions, and public announcements will be forthcoming as developments emerge, (but it is) too early to give specifics at this moment.ã
ãI would expect a two to three month process to gain a new administrator,ã he said.
Hiring a new risk manager and county finance director are two different processes, Johnston said.
The board hires only three positions directlyãCAO, director of finance, and county counsel. Normally, the CAO hires everyone else, including the risk manager. But without a CAO, or even an interim CAO at this point, that might have to wait.
All the changes at the county make the time ripe for a discussion about county reorganizationãand sooner than later, Johnston said.
ãThis lends itself to that opportunity,ã he said. ãMaybe there are positions that are superfluous, maybe we have qualified staff that can fill them. We are always trying to be more efficient. Maybe there are additional ways we can do that.ã
Newly elected supervisor Tim Alpers agreed, but added a note of caution. He was a Mono County supervisor many years ago and he said the first priority is to establish concrete job descriptions outlining who is responsible for whatãand then making sure candidates are qualified to hold the job.
ãIt might look like you are saving money in the short term, but it can backfire if something goes wrong and someone sues,ã he said.

Arrrgh! Is there anything that actually works!? If you've ever felt like this when looking through the seemingly endless diet pills, books, potions and plans out there for women, only to be left feeling lost and confused, you're in the right place! Most diets suck and actually make it harder, not easier, to lose weight. They also make your life miserable, and that's just not acceptable.
It's not all bad news, though. There are a few gems out there, like the paleo diet, which is the 'new kid on the block' of the dieting world and a great choice for women looking to tone up and lose a few pounds. The crazy thing is, eating right for your body is easy. The message just gets lost in translation, often through marketing hype, which leads to thinking that you need 'this' or you've got to have 'that' to lose weight and get in shape.
In fact, all diets rely on the same principle – calorie manipulation. They just go about it in different ways. Some restrict certain food groups, while others do away with them completely. Here's a quick look at some of the most popular diets for women which have evidence to support they really work.
Popular Diets That Work for Women
PALEO DIET: Paleo encourages you to eat like a cave-woman by cutting out all processed foods, grains and legumes to instead focus on eating what was readily available at the time – things like animal protein (chicken, turkey, bacon), eggs, fruit, nuts, seeds and veggies.
WEIGHT WATCHERS: One of the largest and most successful weight loss communities. Their program works on a pro-points system which helps you select and eat healthy, calorie-controlled portions to reach your weight loss goals.
LOW-CARBOHYDRATE DIET: As the name suggests, refined, simple carbohydrates (white flour, pasta, bread, rice and potatoes) are either cutout or greatly reduced in favor of healthy protein sources, fruit and low-carb veggies (i.e. mushroom, spinach & carrots).
RAW FOOD DIET: Being naturally low in calories, the raw food diet is great for women seeking to lose weight and improve their health. Foods which have been cooked or processed are replaced with natural 'whole' foods found in nature – fresh fruit, leafy green vegetables, nuts and legumes.
ATKINS DIET: Perhaps the most recognizable diet for women and used by celebrities including Kim Kardashian. With Atkins, it's all about eating fewer carbohydrates and more lean protein in an effort to change how your body metabolizes and stores fat.
VOLUMETRIC DIET: It's all about volume with this diet plan; eating low calorie foods which are naturally filling to help you lose weight while satisfying your appetite. Water-rich fruits, (non-starchy) vegetables and lean protein sources like fish, beans and chicken are the winners here.
THE 3 WEEK DIET: This is a new program quickly gaining popularity and one that I actively endorse for quick and safe results (you can see our review here). As the name suggests, 3 weeks is the time-frame used to deliver a sensible, calorie-controlled approach to weight loss with healthy 'real' foods.
While all of these diets have evidence to support their use, the best diet for women is ultimately one that meets your individual needs and offers a practical solution that fits your lifestyle. If you're a busy mom or simply feel you don't have the time to eat right (and exercise), innovative programs like 6-minutes to skinny offer a practical and exciting approach to weight loss, making it a reality for all – just as it should be.
The Keys to Successful Dieting
The problem with 'old-school' diets (i.e. the grapefruit diet) isn't that they can't help you lose weight, they can. It's the fact they're not sustainable, or healthy in the long-run.
The key to finding a sustainable diet that works is building habits that help you incorporate real, natural fat burning foods while avoiding calorie-laden, processed 'artificial' foods. Not only will you regain your health, you'll be happier, have more energy and feel what it's like to eat right for your body. The diets and healthy eating tips at Leanrunnerbean are based around a few core principles:
Make Healthy Eating a Habit: If you eat right most of the time, what you eat the rest of the time doesn't matter nearly as much. This leaves you free to splurge (occasionally) and not have to worry about enjoying a night out. Instead of wasting your thoughts and self-control on calories, focus on building healthy habits that last.
Ditch the Crash Diet: You don't need to starve yourself to lose weight. Not only does it deprive the body of nutrients, it cripples metabolic rate and actually makes fat loss more difficult. Focus on provisioning your body with nutrient-dense foods that support weight loss and overall health.
Eat Real Foods: Wherever possible look to cut processed foods from your diet and replace them with real, natural foods. Most pre-packaged 'artificial' foods are devoid of nutrients, high in sugar and loaded with preservatives that often do more harm than good.
We're All Different: No two women are the same, and this is why most cookie-cutter diet plans fail. We all have different goals and starting points, which makes it doubly important important to taste, test and experiment until you find what works best for you.
Don't Eat With Your Emotions: We all get down in the dumps occasionally, which is why it's important to recognize that psychological triggers can cause us to overeat (and under-eat). Taking time out and practicing mindfulness when eating can protect us from cravings and mindless binging.
Track Your Progress: You don't need to be a tech geek. A diary is all you need to keep track of what you're eating and how your body responds. This gives you a starting point and a resource you can refer back to later. There's also neat-o gadgets like Wi-Fi pedometers, mobile apps and other online tools.
Love Your Food: Look after your food and it'll look after you. When you care about what you're putting in your body and why, your food choices automatically improve and provide a greater sense of self-satisfaction.
Get Moving: This site is dedicated to healthy eating, but that doesn't mean exercise isn't an important part of a healthy lifestyle – it is. Aim to get moving for at least 30 minutes each day and avoid sitting for extended periods of time (computers, TV etc).
There's no coincidence that when you look good, you feel good. Health and happiness are closely linked, and trying to achieve your weight loss goals without the other is always a struggle. Fortunately, finding a diet that works doesn't need to be all about sacrifice and willpower. At Leanrunnerbean you'll learn how to upgrade your lifestyle to make dieting fun, easy and effective.

Hit the slopes my friends
Winter Park is a large ski resort in the Rocky Mountains, just a 2 hour train ride from Denver. The train makes it easy to get to and you can stay in the town of Fraser or at the resort itself (15 minutes up the road). Fraser is much cheaper than staying at the resort and with a free shuttle on the half hour both are good options. Great for beginners, Winter park has lots of green (beginners) and blue (intermediate) ski slopes. However the ...

Delicate apricots make delicious desserts
Apricot season is a fleeting and special time: These delicate fruits must be enjoyed —— or preserved —— soon after they're removed from the tree. Their season lasts about from May to late July. (Some varieties are available only for a week to 10 days, according to the California Fresh Apricot Council.)
A reader called asking for an apricot pie recipe. Here's what I sent him, from my well-thumbed copy of the "Fanny Farmer" cookbook:
Basic pastry dough for 9-inch two-crust pie
4 cups pitted, halved apricots
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons tapioca
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a pie pan with half the pastry dough. Spread half the apricots in the lined pan and sprinkle half the sugar over them. Spread remaining apricots on top and sprinkle with remaining sugar, tapioca and lemon juice. Dot with butter. Roll out top crust and drape it over the pie. Crimp or flute the edges and cut several vents in top. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower heat to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until top is browned.
I also asked readers for their favorite apricot recipes. This simple idea is from Pat K. of Escondido: "These lightly stewed apricots make delicious additions to any meal. Inspect ripe apricots. Cut in half and remove and discard pit. Put 'good' apricots into large or small slow cooker. Run for 6 or 8 hours, or all night, on low. Cool. Jar apricots in quart canning jars, or even in empty used jelly jars. Freeze them (no sugar, no canning). Leave a little air space inside the jars at the top. My grandchildren love these."
Cheryl Hudson of Poway sent this recipe for Apricot Fanchonettes. (A fanchonette, I learned, is a flaky pastry with meringue topping.) "This recipe came to me from my grandmother's cookbook, 'Magic Chef Cooking,' date 1933. If you prefer peaches, use them in place of apricots." The size of the fruit will depend on the size of your tart pan.
6 halves of apricots
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Your favorite pastry recipe, enough to line 6 tart pans
Meringue (recipe follows)
Line six tart pans with pastry. Fill each with half of an apricot, cut side down. Mix the egg yolk, cream, sugar and salt, and pour over the fruit. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Spread with meringue and bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes six.
2 egg whites
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Beat egg whites and add the sugar gradually, then vanilla. Beat until stiff.
I'm still looking for apricot recipes, so send them on in! I'll run a few more next week.

I'm not a big fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise. I only played 2 previously, and while I had some good times, I didn't finish it and obviously didn't play anything between then and now. So, if you're a devotee of the series, this review isn't for you. However, if you're more like me and were interested in seeing whether this franchise has matured with age, I would say that the answer is mostly no. And if you're here because while being an assassin doesn't sound like much fun, being a pirate ...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

Ace Combat is kind of a weird series. It's basically the only place one can go to on consoles for dogfighting action, but it has traditionally taken place on weird, half-explained fantasy worlds and followed standard military plots that were vague on the sorts of specifics that would be needed to make those worlds memorable. In keeping with that not-quite-realistic approach, Ace Combat games give players real-life aircraft like the F-22 to play with, and then have them carry 200 missiles, with n...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

Sequence is billed as the first rhythm-game RPG, which is, while technically accurate, a title that'll probably lead to more disappointment than anything else.

A fantasy 4x game is something I've been keen on for a very long time. Perhaps it's just my American, Manichean point of view, but there's something lacking in a game where the only reason that you should take over the world and the other guy should be crushed beneath your heel is that you like to win.

Avencast is one of the numerous German RPGs running around out there, and the second of which I've played, along with Drakensang. Interestingly, Avencast is hindered by many of the same faults as Drakensang and an inexplicable failure to adapt to modern RPG conventions. It's hard to speak too harshly about Avencast given the price at which it can be acquired - regularly well under ten dollars on Steam with regular specials. One can certainly get their money's worth if they happen to see no...2 out of 2 found this review helpful.
Not much more than meets the eye 3
Flotilla is an interesting amalgam of two entirely different types of game - the Oregon Trail randomized choose your own adventure style and a turn-based strategy style. Both of these are well done, with humorously written encounters with bizarre use of animals, excellent music (including some great classical piano during the battles) and just a ton of charm, injected in little ways you wouldn't necessarily expect from an indie game. The game's main weakness in presentation is its graphical ...4 out of 4 found this review helpful.

It'd be pretty hard to write a review of Gyromancer without comparing it to Puzzle Quest, though I'll quickly summarize the genre for those of you who skipped the older game. Both are set in a fantasy world where you play the hero sent on an epic fantasy style quest. Instead of random encounters taking you to a turn-based battle system, you're taken to a puzzle grid map where you play a game of what is essentially Bejeweled. In the case of Puzzle Quest, this game was substantially altered by ...3 out of 3 found this review helpful.
As good as any recent western fantasy RPG 3
The first thing that probably crosses your mind when you first consider buying Drakensang as your newest RPG fix is - who the hell made this and what sort of RPG is it? But after you get over the fact that Radon Labs has not made anything that would serve to inform your expectations, and that the fantasy setting is neither Dungeons and Dragons nor Middle-Earth, surprisingly little about Drakensang will seem foreign here. Apparently, Drakensang is a German P&P equivalent of Dungeons and Dr...5 out of 5 found this review helpful.
Unfortunately for this game, it's Majesty *2* 0
I don't know how many people have played the original Majesty. It seems that news of its sequel brought all sorts of people out of the woodwork to talk about how much they loved the first, so it might have been pretty popular. I loved it for certain, though I never had much luck beating the missions in its expansion. I'm considering going back to it in the near future to see if I can't improve my record - and this is as much because I bought the sequel as it is despite it.For those who aren't fa...7 out of 7 found this review helpful.
