West Coast
Online Vendors selling Clematis won't ship to the West Coast.
Are there any online Vendors in California?
Brushwood Nursery in GA says they ship to the continental US. They start shipping in February.
Joy Creek Nursery says they ship to CA.
Both these nurseries have good reputations. I have ordered many clematis from Brushwood and have always been pleased.
Joy Creek is located right outside Portland, OR, so obviously they ship anywhere along west coast. Also, Silver Star Vinery, another excellent mail order source, is located In southwestern WA.
Because CA is such a highly agricultural state, there are some restrictions about what can be imported and from where......like grapes for example. But there shouldn't be any concerns regarding reputable mail order sources shipping in approved plants. Plant Delights is another excellent mail order nursery that ships to CA and carries clematis.
Ahhh.....she is located right in the middle of WA state's wine country so that may be why. Dare not contaminate those valuable grape vines in CA with some dreaded foreign pathogen :-)
Although I don't do too much mail order, I've ordered both from Joy Creek and Brushwood as well as non-clematis plants from Plant Delights and have been extremely satisfied with the results.

Electronic Arts, always busy showing their latest games at E3, took some time out of their schedule to show Game Guy Barry White the latest in their award-winning pro-hockey video game on both the Xbox360 and PlayStation 3. The game is NHL10 and it could give last year's NHL'09 a run for its money.
Returning in NHL10 is all of the licensed National Hockey League teams in all of their glory or lack thereof (I'm looking at you, New York Islanders!). Everything that made the previous award-winning editions of the franchise great is back and, according to EA Sports, improved. In fact, the game publisher says that there are more than 200 individual improvements in NHL10 over last year's edition.
For example, your AI-controlled teammates and opponents actually have emotion; meaning that they actually act on emotion and not just show it on their digital faces. Let's say that the whistle blows due to an icing call and one of the opposing players take a little cheap-shot on one of yours. Acting on emotion, your player (and/or one of your teammates) might go after that opposing player or take a cheap shot on him later in the game.
Another improvement that EA Sports was proud to show off is the new fighting engine because they know that fights are one of the things that makes hockey entertaining to watch. The new engine takes the fighting into a first-person view and while the concept seems rather nifty, time will tell if it's well received. The non-hands-on demo that the Game Guys received made the fighting seem clunky and awkward, but what we saw wasn't the finished product so there is hope that improvements will be made to it.
EA Sports also made improvements to the skating and passing systems. Fan response was that certain maneuvers (passing especially) felt to arcade-ish and didn't actually mesh too well with the rest of the game. Electronic Arts says they've fixed it, but only a hands-on experience by players will tell for sure if the arcade feel has been remedied.
Finally, EA's NHL Online has returned with everything that fans liked from NHL'09, which was the first edition of the game to feature the new online system. Players can still create their own players and play in a multi-player user-created team against other players and teams from around the world. In short, no real changes here other than that (unlike Fifa10) online play isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
NHL10 is planned for release on September 8th and is only for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Brochure More information from http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/672085/ The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Dolls, Toys, and Games Description: WHAT IS LATENT DEMAND AND THE P.I.E.? The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable, or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The "market" is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability). The latent demand for dolls, toys, and games is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market. For reasons discussed later, this report does not consider the notion of "unit quantities", only total latent revenues (i.e., a calculation of price times quantity is never made, though one is implied). The units used in this report are U.S. dollars not adjusted for inflation (i.e., the figures incorporate inflationary trends) and not adjusted for future dynamics in exchange rates. If inflation rates or exchange rates vary in a substantial way compared to recent experience, actually sales can also exceed latent demand (when expressed in U.S. dollars, not adjusted for inflation). On the other hand, latent demand can be typically higher than actual sales as there are often distribution inefficiencies that reduce actual sales below the level of latent demand. As mentioned in the introduction, this study is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long- run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. If fact, all the current products or services on the market can cease to exist in their present form (i.e., at a brand-, R&D specification, or corporate-image level) and all the players can be replaced by other firms (i.e., via exits, entries, mergers, bankruptcies, etc.), and there will still be an international latent demand for dolls, toys, and games at the aggregate level. Product and service offering details, and the actual identity of the players involved, while important for certain issues, are relatively unimportant for estimates of latent demand. THE METHODOLOGY In order to estimate the latent demand for dolls, toys, and games on a worldwide basis, I used a multi-stage approach. Before applying the approach, one needs a basic theory from which such estimates are created. In this case, I heavily rely on the use of certain basic economic assumptions. In particular, there is an assumption governing the shape and type of aggregate latent demand functions. Latent demand functions relate the income of a country, city, state, household, or individual to realized consumption. Latent demand (often realized as consumption when an industry is efficient), at any level of the value chain, takes place if an equilibrium is realized. For firms to serve a market, they must perceive a latent demand and be able to serve that demand at a minimal return. The single most important variable determining consumption, assuming latent demand exists, is income (or other financial resources at higher levels of the value chain). Other factors that can pivot or shape demand curves include external or exogenous shocks (i.e., business cycles), and or changes in utility for the product in question. Ignoring, for the moment, exogenous shocks and variations in utility across countries, the aggregate relation between income and consumption has been a central theme in economics. The figure below concisely summarizes one aspect of problem. In the 1930s, John Meynard Keynes conjectured that as incomes rise, the average propensity to consume would fall. The average propensity to consume is the level of consumption divided by the level of income, or the slope of the line from the origin to the consumption function. He estimated this relationship empirically and found it to be true in the short-run (mostly based on cross-sectional data). The higher the income, the lower the average propensity to consume. This type of consumption function is labeled "A" in the figure below (note the rather flat slope of the curve). In the 1940s, another macroeconomist, Simon Kuznets, estimated long-run consumption functions which indicated that the marginal propensity to consume was rather constant (using time series data across countries). This type of consumption function is show as "B" in the figure below (note the higher slope and zero-zero intercept). The average propensity to consume is constant. Is it declining or is it constant? A number of other economists, notably Franco Modigliani and Milton Friedman, in the 1950s (and Irving Fisher earlier), explained why the two functions were different using various assumptions on intertemporal budget constraints, savings, and wealth. The shorter the time horizon, the more consumption can depend on wealth (earned in previous years) and business cycles. In the long-run, however, the propensity to consume is more constant. Similarly, in the long run, households, industries or countries with no income eventually have no consumption (wealth is depleted). While the debate surrounding beliefs about how income and consumption are related and interesting, in this study a very particular school of thought is adopted. In particular, we are considering the latent demand for dolls, toys, and games across some 230 countries. The smallest have fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. I assume that all of these counties fall along a "long- run" aggregate consumption function. This long-run function applies despite some of these countries having wealth, current income dominates the latent demand for dolls, toys, and games. So, latent demand in the long-run has a zero intercept. However, I allow firms to have different propensities to consume (including being on consumption functions with differing slopes, which can account for differences in industrial organization, and end-user preferences). Given this overriding philosophy, I will now describe the methodology used to create the latent demand estimates for dolls, toys, and games. Since ICON Group has asked me to apply this methodology to a large number of categories, the rather academic discussion below is general and can be applied to a wide variety of categories, not just dolls, toys, and games. Step 1. Product Definition and Data Collection Any study of latent demand across countries requires that some standard be established to define "efficiently served". Having implemented various alternatives and matched these with market outcomes, I have found that the optimal approach is to assume that certain key countries are more likely to be at or near efficiency than others. These countries are given greater weight than others in the estimation of latent demand compared to other countries for which no known data are available. Of the many alternatives, I have found the assumption that the world's highest aggregate income and highest income-per-capita markets reflect the best standards for "efficiency". High aggregate income alone is not sufficient (i.e., China has high aggregate income, but low income per capita and can not assumed to be efficient). Aggregate income can be operationalized in a number of ways, including gross domestic product (for industrial categories), or total disposable income (for household categories; population times average income per capita, or number of households times average household income per capita). Brunei, Nauru, Kuwait, and Lichtenstein are examples of countries with high income per capita, but not assumed to be efficient, given low aggregate level of income (or gross domestic product); these countries have, however, high incomes per capita but may not benefit from the efficiencies derived from economies of scale associated with large economies. Only countries with high income per capita and large aggregate income are assumed efficient. This greatly restricts the pool of countries to those in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), like the United States, or the United Kingdom (which were earlier than other large OECD economies to liberalize their markets). The selection of countries is further reduced by the fact that not all countries in the OECD report industry revenues at the category level. Countries that typically have ample data at the aggregate level that meet the efficiency criteria include the United States, the United Kingdom and in some cases France and Germany. Latent demand is therefore estimated using data collected for relatively efficient markets from independent data sources (e.g. Euromonitor, Mintel, Thomson Financial Services, the U.S. Industrial Outlook, the World Resources Institute, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, various agencies from the United Nations, industry trade associations, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank). Depending on original data sources used, the definition of "dolls, toys, and games" is established. In the case of this report, the data were reported at the aggregate level, with no further breakdown or definition. In other words, any potential product or service that might be incorporated within dolls, toys, and games falls under this category. Public sources rarely report data at the disaggregated level in order to protect private information from individual firms that might dominate a specific product-market. These sources will therefore aggregate across components of a category and report only the aggregate to the public. While private data are certainly available, this report only relies on public data at the aggregate level without reliance on the summation of various category components. In other words, this report does not aggregate a number of components to arrive at the "whole". Rather, it starts with the "whole", and estimates the whole for all countries and the world at large (without needing to know the specific parts that went into the whole in the first place). Given this caveat, in this report we define "dolls, toys, and games" as including video games, video game systems, dolls and accessories, soft and infant toys, board games, puzzles, building blocks, model trains and cars, riding toys, activity toys, action figures, remote-control cars and boats, etc. (e.g. products such as Nintendo, Sony Playstation, Barbie dolls, LEGOs, Monopoly). All figures are in a common currency (U.S. dollars, millions) and are not adjusted for inflation (i.e., they are current values). Exchange rates used to convert to U.S. dollars are averages for the year in question. Future exchange rates are assumed to be constant in the future at the current level (the average of the year of this publication's release in 2008). Step 2. Filtering and Smoothing Based on the aggregate view of dolls, toys, and games as defined above, data were then collected for as many similar countries as possible for that same definition, at the same level of the value chain. This generates a convenience sample of countries from which comparable figures are available. If the series in question do not reflect the same accounting period, then adjustments are made. In order to eliminate short-term effects of business cycles, the series are smoothed using an 2 year moving average weighting scheme (longer weighting schemes do not substantially change the results). If data are available for a country, but these reflect short-run aberrations due to exogenous shocks (such as would be the case of beef sales in a country stricken with foot and mouth disease), these observations were dropped or "filtered" from the analysis. Step 3. Filling in Missing Values In some cases, data are available for countries on a sporadic basis. In other cases, data from a country may be available for only one year. From a Bayesian perspective, these observations should be given greatest weight in estimating missing years. Assuming that other factors are held constant, the missing years are extrapolated using changes and growth in aggregate national income. Based on the overriding philosophy of a long-run consumption function (defined earlier), countries which have missing data for any given year, are estimated based on historical dynamics of aggregate income for that country. Step 4. Varying Parameter, Non-linear Estimation Given the data available from the first three steps, the latent demand in additional countries is estimated using a "varying-parameter cross-sectionally pooled time series model". Simply stated, the effect of income on latent demand is assumed to be constant across countries unless there is empirical evidence to suggest that this effect varies (i.e., the slope of the income effect is not necessarily same for all countries). This assumption applies across countries along the aggregate consumption function, but also over time (i.e., not all countries are perceived to have the same income growth prospects over time and this effect can vary from country to country as well). Another way of looking at this is to say that latent demand for dolls, toys, and games is more likely to be similar across countries that have similar characteristics in terms of economic development (i.e., African countries will have similar latent demand structures controlling for the income variation across the pool of African countries). This approach is useful across countries for which some notion of non-linearity exists in the aggregate cross-country consumption function. For some categories, however, the reader must realize that the numbers will reflect a country's contribution to global latent demand and may never be realized in the form of local sales. For certain country-category combinations this will result in what at first glance will be odd results. For example, the latent demand for the category "space vehicles" will exist for "Togo" even though they have no space program. The assumption is that if the economies in these countries did not exist, the world aggregate for these categories would be lower. The share attributed to these countries is based on a proportion of their income (however small) being used to consume the category in question (i.e., perhaps via resellers). Step 5. Fixed-Parameter Linear Estimation Nonlinearities are assumed in cases where filtered data exist along the aggregate consumption function. Because the world consists of more than 200 countries, there will always be those countries, especially toward the bottom of the consumption function, where non-linear estimation is simply not possible. For these countries, equilibrium latent demand is assumed to be perfectly parametric and not a function of wealth (i.e., a country's stock of income), but a function of current income (a country's flow of income). In the long run, if a country has no current income, the latent demand for dolls, toys, and games is assumed to approach zero. The assumption is that wealth stocks fall rapidly to zero if flow income falls to zero (i.e., countries which earn low levels of income will not use their savings, in the long run, to demand dolls, toys, and games). In a graphical sense, for low income countries, latent demand approaches zero in a parametric linear fashion with a zero- zero intercept. In this stage of the estimation procedure, low-income countries are assumed to have a latent demand proportional to their income, based on the country closest to it on the aggregate consumption function. Step 6. Aggregation and Benchmarking Based on the models described above, latent demand figures are estimated for all countries of the world, including for the smallest economies. These are then aggregated to get world totals and regional totals. To make the numbers more meaningful, regional and global demand averages are presented. Figures are rounded, so minor inconsistencies may exist across tables. Step 7. Latent Demand Density: Allocating Across Cities With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report also covers the world's top 2000 cities. The purpose is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. Similar to country-level data, the reader needs to realize that latent demand allocated to a city may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, again, the category "satellite launch vehicles." Clearly, there are no launch pads in most cities of the world. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is "consumed" by residents or industries within the worlds cities. Without certain cities, in other words, the world market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to regions, countries and cities. This report takes the broader definition and considers, therefore, a city as a part of the global market. I allocate latent demand across areas of dominant influence based on the relative economic importance of cities within its home country, within its region and across the world total. Not all cities are estimated within each country as demand may be allocated to adjacent areas of influence. Since some cities have higher economic wealth than others within the same country, a city's population is not generally used to allocate latent demand. Rather, the level of economic activity of the city vis-à-vis others. Contents: 1INTRODUCTION10 1.1Overview10 1.2What is Latent Demand and the P.I.E.?10 1.3The Methodology11 1.3.1Step 1.

Looking for a place that either has a weekday brunch menu or an early lunch menu in the Bayville area. Could be a little further west - like Glen Cove. Any great suggestions? Thanks!

Dan the Dummy. I gave you no power or control over anything. So you shit your pants for nothing.
If you call a response from an idiot who copies and pastes, has no personal thoughts or opinions beyond Yeah Baby or you are a racist and this is a racist post, shutting me down and you getting credit an accomplishment, then you are the king of idiots.
LMAO, If you think for one second I fear you then post your personal contact information and I'll show you exactly how much I fear you. LMAO, you are one true immature individual. You fear ALL who oppose your fairy tale beliefs.
Dan the Man....hides while he attempts to intimidate. You're as yellow as yellow can be.

Statements posted here are those of our readers and do not represent the BaseballThinkFactory. Names are provided by the poster and are not verified. We ask that posters follow our submission policy. Please report any inappropriate comments.1. Anthony Giacalone Posted: January 20, 2006 at 02:57 AM (#1829520)
I know Mike has this overwhelming desire for a SABR conference in which 95% of the presentations (vie or take 5%) deal with statistics. However, presentations do not need to be about stats and sabermetrics. So, please, if you are working on something dealing with baseball's relationship with cultural history or sociology or geography or criminology or just about anything, submit an abstract. It's a very warm audience to present in front of.
Inspired by Anthony, I'm scheduled to give a nonstatistical presentation at the NYC sabr meeting next weekend.
I don't think Mike wants that.
But this is a stat-heavy crowd and one of the best places on the web to get input on stat-based presentations.
Could be, Dan. Listening to Mike at SABR last year gave me the impression that he would like more stats presentations than the 50/50 split (between stat-oriented and non-stat-oriented presentations) that we had last year. I could be wrong.
This may be a stat-heavy crowd but that doesn't mean that we should force everything through that prism. I mean, I'm a stat-heavy analyst by the standards of 99% of baseball observing world. But around here, I'm only about middle of the road. Often, I do not think that that is healthy for the site or our credibility.
I may head down there from CT. What's the topic?
If I gave that impression, it was unintentional. What I want is more presentations where I learn something that I didn't know.
I'll be discussing the 1967 Mets, and warming up the crowd for Warner Wolf.
Listening to Mike at SABR last year gave me the impression that he would like more stats presentations than the 50/50 split (between stat-oriented and non-stat-oriented presentations) that we had last year.
I, for one, would be strongly opposed to this for several reasons. First and foremost, while I try to stay attuned to what's going on in the field, I'm no statistician and like it that way. Although most of the stats-based presentations are interesting and well-done, I've been to more than a few that got dragged into esoterica and occasionally mathspeak. To each his own, of course.
Furthermore, although there are notable exceptions on both sides, I generally find the historical presentations to be . . . well, more interesting, simply because they have a story to tell. It's one thing to analyze how well LOOGYs perform when they are used 4 of 5 days; it's quite another to hear anecdotes of sign-stealing capers, hidden ball tricks, and stuff like that.
Part of what makes SABR so great is that you get the opportunity to see both.
I count 12/31 - that's not an inordinate amount. The first day was very stat-light, but if you recall, you were preoccupied with finding a power adapter for your laptop!
Given that one of SABR's concerns is an aging membership, I don't see why one would be concerned about this amount of statiness unless it's affecting the quality of the more historical/research presentations. I'm not seeing that, though - there just happened to be some terrific stat presentations in Toronto, especially Emeigh and Jaffe.
I found the mix in Toronto to be nearly ideal.
I did too, Dan. I thought that there were tremendous presentations everywhere. I'm not advocating fewer stats presentations. And, I probably recalled Mike incorrectly.
I'm currently thinking of doing something on Champ Summers of all people. Go figure.
Since it's never too early for me to start doing this . . . .
Who's going to Seattle? List of potential primates (defining the term "primate" about as broadly as possible) going to SABR36 & how likely it is they'll be there.
1) Maury Brown. Not just going, he's the Oregon Liason, so if he doesn't make there's a shot Big Foot might run amuk through the streets of Rain City.
Any corrections, ommissions, or updates? Feel free to schlump 'em down.
7) Vinay. It's far closer to home for him than Cin or Tor, and he made them. Very likely.
Not only that, but my brother lives right in downtown Seattle, so it'll be much cheaper for me. I'm definitely going.
14) Joe Dimino. Been to at least 3 straight SABRs. Likely.
IMO, he's as likely as anybody who has to cross the country. The man lives for SABR-cons; he has said that it is consistently the best 4-5 days of each year and that he plans to make every single one in his life.
We had a thread about the convention on the THT e-mail list. I hope the guys don't mind if I summarize everybody's status here:
Definitely in: Gleeman, Maury Brown, me, Treder, Dimino
Studes would like to go but that particular date doesn't work for him, so he's out, unfortunately.
I'm in, as is Red.
He's also an officer of the organization. He'll be there.
I've made a hotel reservation, and barring a calamity, I'll be there. If I get elected to office (I'm running for Director), I'll definitely have to be there anyway.
PECOTA projects Jon Daly to be there, but spend to much by not planning ahead.
19) Sean Forman. His wife gave birth to a son last summer. That and distance makes it tricky. Maybe, leaning towards not likely.
Sean suggested to me that he was likely to go, which is awesome since he brings some class to our motley crew.
However Daly made his reservations online and now all that's left of cyberspace is the space. ;-)
Best Regards
I expect to have a newborn at home by then and most likely won't make it.
(too-much-information) Conceived, it is believed, upon return from last year's event in Toronto.(/too-much-information)
22) runningbyrd. Lives in/around Seattle & mentioned something about letting people stay at his place, though I haven't heard offically if he intends to go himself. Chalk him down as likely.
Sadly enough, chalk me up as unlikely. One of my best friends decided last week to change his wedding date to the 30th of june. The wedding will be in Wisconsin. I have given him much crap for the decision, but I have to be there as a groomsman or maybe the best man. There is a chance I will make it back for saturday night, which would be dandy, but I'm not counting on it just yet.
However, my leaving does open up the possibility of my apt being open for the duration, so if you younger guys who might have trouble paying for hotels need a place to stay, I have one bed and two sleepable couches that will likely be open, plus an insanely nice deck, so get in touch with me at some point during the spring.
6) deJesus Freak. Not just a member, but the parliamentarian for SABR's national board. Very likely.
I'm in. In fact, I've already booked a room, but not the flight. The only question is whether the Lady Freak will join me, and I'm pretty sure she wants to see Seattle.
I'm probably. I really don't like flying that far, but I'd like to go again. It'll be easier for event to dissuade me from this one than, however, than 2007 in St. Louis, for which I'm a lock.
I'm on the fence. I'm hoping to buy a house next year, and the couple K would be nice to have… with that said, much like The Minno it is 4 of the best days of the year. And one of these years travel has to be easy.
Paula will be going w/ me. If we turn the ladies loose at the Market, though, we'll have plenty of time to do other things :)
Sounds dangerous.
Actually, I'll have to find a way to work it so I can see more of Seattle myself. I've been eager to visit.
It didn't make much of a difference for me in Denver or Cincinnati, because I saw most everything I wanted to see, but I wished that I would have seen more of Toronto than King St., the Rogers Centre, and the CN Tower.
Oh, and for the record, there aren't any mosquitos in seattle. Just a thought. For someone who lived in GA, VT, and MN, it's quite a revelation.
I'm not going to be there unfortunately. A friend of mine is getting married in Pittsburgh on July 1. I will definitely be at St. Louis.
I have a hotel room. The kid will be 11 months by then and while it might be a mistake we are leaning towards both going and taking him.
I'm 90% sure I'll be there. The question is with company or not. Spira will definitely be going as well. He was sick last summer.
If anyone's interested, I've published the text and powerpoint from the presentation on the Bing Devine-era Mets I gave at the NYC SABR meeting last weekend.
The kid
Haven't settled on a name yet?
Did you try "Jury"?
FYI - they are out of rooms… wonderul planning.

Posted November 12, 2008
Katherine Ann Porter has a way of describing things and situation in marvelous detail. However, as the detail goes on and the story line itself is lost it is hard to regain an interest in the story she set out to write. If the description itself is the story then she has done a beautiful job of writing a well thought out work. On the other hand if she is to have a deeper meaning in her story and her writing then the overload of description helps to distract from the original meaning. She is a wonderful writer but it is hard for me to keep the interest when she is using too much detail at a very high pace.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Hi, I run a web design and dev company called Pug ((website hidden)). I am a keen traveller and tech fan. Also love astronomy and can often be found in the freezing cold late at night checking out the stars.
I've been all over the world but my favourite places are the USA and New Zealand. I am tidy, quiet and hassle-free when it comes to staying places - and I like the same in return :)

Big plant order!!! :)
I just put in a big plant order at Bluestone!! I am sooooo excited to fill my new gardens!!!
I ordered several plants I am familiar with, but I also ordered several I've never seem before. I hope I like them!
I also ordered some seeds from Park. I was shocked to see that they now carry Angelonia seeds...my favorite annual. So I got some of those as well as some other annuals. Sunflowers, morning glories, petunias, and a bunch of other stuff. I know what to do with the sunflowers, but as far as the other annuals...the petunias and stuff, should I start them indoors? And if so, is it too late if I start them this week when they come in?
Anyone else ordering anything this year??
Also, I posted some new questions to the thread about my gardening renovations. I need some suggestions, so check it out if you get a chance! Here's the thread...
I've got a big (for me) order coming from Bluestone soon. I really like their plants, and when I ordered early (February) I got to take advantage of their special coupons and freebies - quite a nice bonus, like getting an extra 25% free on my order.
I'm also waiting on two small orders from Oakes and Sunshine Hollow Daylilies, and an order from Wayside Gardens (a serviceberry tree and a potentilla shrub). My Gilbert H. Wild daylily order got here yesterday, and those babies are already in the ground. I just LOVE getting plants in the mail!! I ordered less this year than in previous years, but it's still exciting.
That service berry tree is gorgeous!! Your in zone 5/4 and you are already getting plants??? WOW!
I had coupons for Bluestone but I lost them. :( I debated ordering from some of the other nurseries I had coupons for, but with such a big order, I figure stick with someone I trust.
Oakes has such wonderful varieties. What did you order from them?
From Oakes I ordered 'Wayside King Royale,' 'Desert Princess,' and 'Streaker.' (I got quite a few plants from them last year, huge clumps, so I'm excited to get a few more.) I've had my eye on 'WKRoyale' for a couple years, so I sprang for it this year. I'm not collecting the latest and greatest, and I have different color themes in my front and back yards (cool in front, hot in back), so my orders always look kind of schizo. (I hope when some else sees what I order they don't think, "She's going to plant THOSE side by side? Yucchhhh!") From G. H. Wild I just received 'Mateus,' 'Zagora,' 'Dancing Penny,' and 'Lady Cynthia' as a bonus. From Sunshine Hollow's clump sale (great deals) I ordered 'Banditman,' 'Border Crossing,' 'Morri,' 'Matt,' and 'Indian Ripples.'
And, after getting my Bluestone catalog in the mail yesterday, I checked out their 40-50% off web specials, and ordered a couple more things for my new shady woodland border. NO MORE CATALOG ORDERS for me!!! I've spent my portion of income tax return mad money, so it's time to stop.

Senior Jacob Bullinger will hope to improve on his #12 national ranking spot for the weight throw this weekend in Nebraska
Jan. 30, 2013
Columbia, Mo. – After facing their first SEC competition in the Univ. of Kentucky last weekend in Lexington, KY, the Tigers are back on the road this week for their second set of SEC match-ups. A small Mizzou squad will head to the University of Nebraska for the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational, where they will meet up with Auburn, Florida, and Alabama for the first time this season.
Sophomores Katrine Haarklau (Bergan, Norway) and Morgan Whitson (Moberly, MO) will kick off the meet for the Tigers on Friday with their first pentathlon competitions of the season. Whitson returns to the pentathlon after narrowly missing an All-Big 12 finish last year, finishing 9th with 3,656 points. This will be Haarklau's first pentathlon in the black and gold.
The men and women throwers will also compete Friday afternoon, and will hope to continue climbing the national rankings after their great start in December at the Iowa State Holiday Preview. Senior Jacob Bullinger (Jackson, MO) and junior Brian Duncan (Iberia, MO) are currently ranked in the top 50 in the nation for the weight throw, coming in at #12 and #41, respectively. On the women's side, sophomore Kearsten Peoples (Ottawa, KS) currently makes the rankings as #25. Senior Cortni Ervin (Marshall, MO), juniors Alex McDonald (Wentzville, MO), Bethany Pfeiffer (Boonville, MO) and Katie Evans (Powersville, MO), and sophomore Jill Rushin (Jackson, MO) will also look to continue their strong performances in the weight throw.
Junior Kyle Wessel (Hannibal, MO) will also be in action on Friday in the pole vault, returning after his 9th place finish in the event at the Rod McCravy Memorial Meet last week. Sophomores Drake Stuedemann (Seneca, IL) and Sha'Rone Greenlaw (Chicago, IL) will be the first to hit the track on Friday, competing in the 400m dash and 60m hurdles, respectively.
Saturday's competition will see more from the throwers, with senior Brooks Mosier (Lee's Summit, MO) and McDonald competing in the men's shot put, and senior Laura Greenfield (Liberty, MO) joining Ervin, Evans, Peoples, and Rushin in the women's shot put. Mosier is currently ranked #28 in the nation for the event, Rushin is at #21, and Peoples takes the #5 spot.
The high jump and women's pole vault competitions will also have some Tiger representation. In the high jump, sophomore Mitch Hatten (Cameron, MO) will look to improve upon his PR mark of 2.02m (6-7.5), after reaching that height in the last two competitions. For the women, junior Camille Hayes (Indianapolis, IN) returns after her 5th-place mark of 1.70m (5-7), just shy of her indoor PR of 1.72m (5-7.7). In the pole vault, senior Heather Green (Jefferson City, MO) will hope to break back into the 12-foot mark, and continue climbing the ranks in the SEC, where she currently lands at #16.
The women's 800m will highlight the running events for the Tigers, with the return of sophomore Jasmine Webb (Dallas, TX), and a season-start for junior Landon Wachter (Jackson, MO). Both were members of the All-Big 12 DMR team at last year's championship.
For the latest updates on your Tigers, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on Twitter @MIZ_TrackField.

We set off from Nantes on a dry but cold, foggy morning. At last the rain of the past few days had disappeared and after the fog lifted we had a beautiful sunny day.

I live in west central Indiana. I'm replacing the 18 year old 80% gas furnace with a 95% Bryant. I will also replace the 18-year-old single stage 10 SEER A/C unit, but am not sure whether to replace it with another A/C unit (3-ton 17 SEER) or a heat pump (3-ton 16 SEER, 9.0 HSPF)
The heat pump is about $600 more than the AC unit.
I get that the heat pump may save money (electricity being less than natural gas, though I don't know how to figure comparative costs) and will make the furnace last longer. But it seems that (1) the pump, with a slightly lower SEER would cost a little more than the A/C to cool, and (2) since the A/C and pump both cost over twice what the furnace costs, it would be smarter to use the furnace more and make the A/C last longer.
I'm also not sure how cost-efficient the pump would be at temperatures lower than 40.
So I'm tending toward the A/C unit.
This is my first foray into the world of HVAC replacement. Any suggestions?
You need to post your rates.
I would guess I save about $300 a year with a dual fuel setup. I live in a warmer area but you would think that the savings would be about the same, you just would have a much higher gas bill. Mine was $100 for all of last year. The breakeven point for me is more like 28 degrees.
$600 is a pretty reasonable upgrade cost. You will gain alot of flexibility with this configuration. Going from 17seer to 16seer is barely noticable is efficiency. I wouldn't let that concern you.
What is your electric rate? heatpump heat is typically very cheap when above 40 degrees. I recommend upgrading to a heatpump if the upgrade isn't expensive in most situations unless the home is very leaky/badly insulated or very expensive electricity (approaching 20 cents per KW.
If natural gas gets expensive again atleast you have some options. I like the heatpump heat during milder cold days. Its heat isn't hot, so it runs longer and evenly heats the house. I run my heatpump down to 30 or 35 then let the natural gas take over. I switch to natural gas (my emergency) when snowing or sleeting alot.
My electric rate is 12 cents per KW total.
the other thing you will need for a 'hybrid' system is a thermostat with an outdoor temperature sensor. With that, you can adjust when the gas furnace comes on and the HP shuts off. Usually these temperatures overlap a bit so that there is a range where both can come on at the same time. You then adjust these temperatures based on comfort and price.
Usually the life a furnace is longer than the life of the AC condenser. Upgrading the AC to a heat pump will shorten the life of the condenser. You are doing the right thing by factoring this into your overall operating costs.
Post the model numbers of the Bryant equipment. It may influence some opinions.
In my opinion natural gas rates will remain low for the forseeable future. The US has an over abundant supply.
All units are Bryant
Furnace = 355BAV
Heat Pump = 226A
Had to order today to take advantage of rebate offer that ends 8/31. Never could figure out how to estimate the cost of running the heat pump vs. the gas furnace and couldn't locate any on-line calculators/spreadsheets that would help. Figured I'd save a bunch with new 95% furnace over the old sigle-stage 80%, and the new 17 SEER a/c over the old single-stage 10. It's small house (1450 sf) and well insulated, and I didn't know if I'd squeeze enough additional savings with a heat pump to justify the extra initial cost of the pump plus whatever extra cost would be involved in replacing it sooner because of running it much more. When in doubt, play conservatively (at least where money is involved), so I went for the a/c unit. Wish I'd discovered this website a month earlier. Thanks to all those who responded.
