too many Lycoris squamigera - naked ladies - resurrection lilies
So, my house was built in 1889. two years prior, someone released Lycoris squamigera (Naked ladies/surprise lily/resurrection lily). We moved in nearly two years ago. There are two MASSES of LC- one about 2x10, one about 24x2.
I had to take out the 2x10 area to make room for veggie garden, and the poor babies are triangle shaped - Lord knows how long they have been there. The bulbs were huge, most were 6-8", I heeled them into my veggie patch and I will put them into my flower bed out front this weekend. I know they don't like to be moved but they couldn't have been very happy where they were and at least they will have a chance to get fertilizer and grow bulb-shaped again...
I'm even more worried about the 24x2 section, because they are stuck between a brick path (which has been buried for unknown years, it was under 2-3 inches of lawn, it went to the outhouse in the back of the yard, I think, I just found it a few weeks ago, what a neat surprise!) and the foundation of our barn.
Any advice for taking the LC out of the "barn" area? the ground has a lot of gravel/rocks in it and judging by the greens alone, the bulbs must be so close together.
Is it possible that these bulbs were planted a hundred years ago (ish) and never divided? the poor babies...
I know these are expensive bulbs to buy, but does anyone ever want to trade for them? I will have hundreds (I know I need to wait to dig them up to trade until the foliage fades away)--how many of these can someone possibly want???
I think they are pretty, but I need some plants that give a little more bloom time (the house came with a tree and two hostas and the LCs, Previous Owner's best friend was his sprayer of RoundUP)
I'd love to trade for some. I have tons of lycoris radiata (check hardiness. I'm not sure.)and will soon have some daffodils, mostly heirloom jonquils of several varieties. Email me if you're interested. If the ground is really rocky, you will definitely have a tough digging job. But based on my radiata experience, no bulb is tougher. If you can get them out in even close to one piece they'll be fine.
Any advice for taking the LC out of the "barn" area? the ground has a lot of gravel/rocks in it and judging by the greens alone, the bulbs must be so close together.
I have read that it is best to try and dig them after the foliage has died down a some in late spring, and before they bloom later in the summer. I would think that late May or sometime early to mid June would be the best time.
I'd suggest you maybe using a heavy long handled pick-ax, mattock, or grubbing hoe, and once you get started digging at the end of the walk, swing it, trying to get deep and under the bulbs. You will then probably have to pry them up to get the roots to release. Your local hardware store should have one of the above mentioned tools if you don't already have one (or more).
Is it possible that these bulbs were planted a hundred years ago (ish) and never divided? the poor babies...
I guess it is possible...yes, poor babies.
I know these are expensive bulbs to buy,
You are right...they sell for
$14.95 for ONE(!!!) bulb at Bulbmeister
$10.99 for a quart pot at Lazy S Farm
$8.25 for one bulb at Old House Gardens
$14.00 at Plant Delights-no count mentioned-probably just one bulb
$10.50 at Touch of Nature
$28.00 for 5 at Brant and Becky's and they are sold out.
$15.95 for 3 at Whiteflower Farm...plus shipping of course on top of those prices.
but does anyone ever want to trade for them?
Yes, they are very tradeable, and you should be able to get some very nice things for them. I pretty well don't trade them anymore because of no one really offering things that were of equal 'value' for them, because they were not aware of what they actually cost to buy, or just figured because I grew them that they were 'like' free' from me. They also did not realize how expensive postage would be to mail my end of the bulbs.
Trading one nice sized bulb, imho, should get you a fan of a nice named daylily,
or a fan of a nice named iris,
or some named daffodils per one bulb traded
or other nice plants.
Be aware too that if/when you trade them, the cost of postage you will have on your end of a trade.
Once you know a traders address, or just their zip code, you can go to the Mail Zone chart to see what mail zone they are from you.
You can then go to Priority Mail Prices to see what it would cost for postage by the LB to the different mail zones. Most, if not everyone east of the Mississippi, is in mail zones 4 or less from you and me here in IN. Since the bulbs are so big and heavy, when trading, you might consider using the Flat Rate Boxes, and costs for those are shown at the link above.
A cheap digital postage scale is a valuable aid in packing plants, bulbs, and even seeds for trading. Scales are usually available on ebay for less than $20 and that includes shipping.
Oh...one last thing. I think maybe that some embers don't realize that these are a lot more expensive that other Lycoris that are not nearly as hardy and that are a lot less expensive. If, when you trade them, you might want to include a link to one of the places I linked to above, so they know just how costly they are to purchase them.
Stick a fork in me...I'm done and heading out to play.
Here is a link that might be useful: scales like these on ebay...shipping is $16.88 but the scale price is right!
a pickaxe.....gaaaaah....!
:) I may need to practice with that tool, it's not exactly precisiony. :)
I can see just by the reaction to this post that LS are desirable. On the one hand, I don't have much in my garden, this being the first year that we've had more than a tree, 2 hostas, and a bunch of LS (and I don't have much cash to remedy that, being the second grad student in the family and a pastor's wife, lol), so winter-sowing and trading are the best ways for me to fix my landscaping problems. On the other hand, people on gardenweb have been incredibly generous to me, and so I'd hate to be stingy.
/humor on: Hey Sue, do you want to trade? I've got all these LS's, and I could even drive them to your house to save on shipping...lol :) \humor off
To those who sent me an email--thanks for contacting me...I wasn't trying to solicit a trade, I was trying to figure out what to do with the bulbs so I could have the bulbs in the best form this summer so they could be traded...
Once that time comes and they've been properly taken care of, I'll set up a proper exchange thread in the exchange forum. :)
Thanks everyone!
See, a really really nice offer by someone who is aware of what these retail for. Whoo-Hoo!
On the other hand, people on gardenweb have been incredibly generous to me, and so I'd hate to be stingy.
Oh, I understand. I just didn't want you to have a lot of $$ wrapped up in postage for just a few bulbs, for maybe items that you could have bought just as cheap or cheaper locally...example, purple irises, mixed daffs, just about anything that is NO ID, or cuttings that you might not be able to get rooted. I've pretty well given up on trading for cuttings, since I am such a failure at rooting them. I will however delay a trade while the member gets something rooted for me.
Oh, I forgot to add, often when I dug mine, I dug around them a bit, usually spearing one or more bulbs, and then I jammed a potato fork under them and pried up. Digging them sounds like a good little chore for 'hubs'.
Kate, these are the varieties that I will be digging soon. If there are any you especially want, or especially don't want, let me know. I certainly do want to be fair.
Sue, do you think a one for one exchange of these is fair, or should I do two for one?
Sweet Love mid season. White petals with yellow cup
Martinette: mid season yellow petals with orange cup (small flowers in clusters). These are some of my favorites. Very showy.
St. Keverne: early, all yellow trumpet
Avalanche: all white, mid to late, small blooms in clusters
Gigantic Star: early. all yellow with very long, ruffled trumpet. Huge.
Tripartite: all yellow. Small flowers with split coronas. I think it's a butterfly one. I love it. It blooms late.
Campernelle: Very early historic jonquil. Highly fragrant. Usually the first to bloom for me. Do not know if it would be hardy there. Because it blooms so early here, the bloom time usually lasts 4 to 6 weeks. My personal favorite daffodil.
Hmmm... I can see what Sue was saying about the difficulties of trading these bulbs. The big ones are 2 inches in diameter or more...like an onion...which would not fit in a small Priority Mail box (the $4.95 box). Which would mean that it would either cost me $10 to ship (and for $10 I could go out and buy a bag of daffs, gah!), or I could send you some of the smaller bulbs to fit in the small box.
oh, bother. I don't suppose you live somewhere I'm driving anytime soon? :)
Sue, do you think a one for one exchange of these is fair, or should I do two for one?
I hesitate to say, because what I might consider a good/fair trade, someone else might not. For example, someone like myself, who is an avid obsessed addicted daffodil collector would be more likely to want/expect fewer bulbs in exchange, than someone who is just looking to trade for a few different 'pretty' daffs and doesn't even care about the name of them.
I remember when I was trading them that in one case, 3 bulbs was over 1 LB. Depending upon where a person lives (see my post above about mail zones and price per LB to different mail zones) mailing just 3 large bulbs that went over 1 LB, could cost between $5 (mail zones 1-2) or up to $9.55 (for mail zone 8)
I had no idea they were so large.
Think of a 3 LB bag of dried yellow onions. Now envision some of the larger ones. That is how big the bigger Lycoris bulbs are.
Not meaning to hijack kterlep's thread, but am interested in 2 different daff cultivars you have. If we can get together on bulb count/weight, I would consider a small trade.

An Iranian national who earned a permanent resident status in Canada has been sentenced to die in Iran for "spreading corruption."
Saeed Malekpour, 36, was arrested in Iran in October 2008 during his visit.
Malekpour was convicted of designing and moderating adult websites, "agitation against the regime" in Tehran and "insulting the sanctity of Islam," according to the Campaign for Release of Saeed Malekpour.
The campaign, organized to lobby the release of Malekpour, says the Iranian-born Canadian worked as a freelance website developer and created a computer program that allowed designers to upload photos to their websites. Malekpour did not know that his program will be used to create an adult site, his supporters said.
Malekpour was first sentenced to death in 2010, but the sentence was reviewed in June 2011 after protests from Canada were lodged.
In a December 2010 BBC news, Alain Cacchione, a spokesman for Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said:
"Canada remains deeply concerned by the continued flagrant disregard of the Iranian authorities for the rights of Iranians... This appears to be another case in which someone in Iran is facing a death sentence after a highly questionable process."
Following a review by the court that sentenced Malekpour, the Iranian Supreme Court upheld its approval of the death penalty.
Amnesty International says Malekpour has been tortured while being held in solitary confinement in Tehran's Evin Prison.
The website gerdab.ir, affiliated with the elite Revolutionary Guard, called Malekpour the head of the biggest Persian-language network of pornographic websites.

Who is Barbara Stymiest?
Barbara Stymiest may be named the new chairman of RIM's board, according to reports. A look at the woman who might take the wheel.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
She was the first woman in North America at the helm of a stock exchange, was named one of Fortune's 50 most powerful women in business (three times), and carried the Olympic torch in the relay leading up to Vancouver's 2010 Winter Games.
Now reports have pegged Barbara Stymiest as the most likely candidate to replace Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis as chair of Research In Motion's board – should the embattled company choose to shake up its governance.
The Toronto native has served as one of RIM's directors since 2007 after a stock options scandal put the company in the regulatory spotlight. Corporate governance is one of Stymiest's areas of expertise, according to RIM shareholder Jaguar Financial Corp.
Whether Stymiest, 55, gets the job at one of Canada's most important companies or simply continues her role as one of seven independent directors, can she help turn the beleaguered Blackberry maker's fortunes?
Stymiest started her accounting career with Ernst & Young in Toronto after graduating from the prestigious Richard Ivey School of Business in 1978. She was the youngest partner in the firm when she landed the role at age 30.
With both her CA and FCA under her belt, she moved to BMO Nesbitt Burns in 1992, where she was first executive vice president and then chief financial officer. While she was at it, she found time to sit on the board of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Stymiest, who has been called a trailblazer for women in business by her Alma Mater and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, never felt excluded from a network, male or female, she told The Star in a 1999 interview.
"I have common interests with the guys. I was always very athletic and maybe that's a little unusual and it helped," she told the reporter.
Back then her golf handicap was 12, she said.
Later that year, she was named CEO of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The TSX went public during her tenure and its market capitalization grew by 20 per cent, according to reports.
In 2004, she was hand-picked to be an executive at the Royal Bank of Canada, where she stayed until she retired in her mid-fifties in 2011.
As the leader of RBC's team involved with the 2010 Olympics, Stymiest and her then 12-year-old daughter ran with the torch in Brantford, Ont.
Stymiest was named one of Canada's most powerful women four consecutive years running (2003-2006), one of Fortune's 50 most powerful women in business each year from 2006-2008 and one of the Financial Times' top 50 women to watch in 2009.
While building her resume in the financial world, Stymiest did a significant amount of charity work. She chaired drives to raise $60 million for the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – where she has volunteered for more than 25 years – and nearly $100 million for the United Way of Greater Toronto's 2005 campaign.
In 2011, she received an honorary degree from UWO and the highest award the ICAO has to offer.
"Be creative in how you find your place in this world," Stymiest said in a speech to UWO graduates at the June convocation. "Try on many hats to find one that fits."
Stymiest sits on the board of George Weston Limited, the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and the Royal Ontario Museum.
As chair of the ROM's board of trustees, Sal Badali has worked closely with Stymiest and describes her as always having done her homework, smart and ready with insightful questions.
She helps the museum with its financial planning, he said.
Regarding the rumours that RIM might name her as its first independent chair, Badali responded, "wouldn't that be wonderful for RIM and for shareholders of RIM, too."
A report on RIM's corporate governance – which is expected to determine who will take the helm of the board – is scheduled to be released by Jan. 31. The company has been under pressure to split the CEO and chair roles, currently occupied by Balsillie and Lazaridis. The company underwent a brutal 2011, with share prices plunging from $59.88 in January 2011 to $14.80 by December 31, amid a series of public relations issues and ongoing product development delays.

NETWORKING I 2011/2012 Extra Credit FOURTH 9 WEEKS EXTRA CREDIT #2 Earth Day! http://hosted.ap.org/specials/interactives/wdc/earthday_astronauts/ Pay tribute to the Earth on Earth Day, April 22 and beyond…. This video from Associated Press presents stunning views of the earth from space, and narration from many astronauts who have been privileged to view it from outer space. Hear from John Glenn, Wally Schirra, two of the earliest American astronauts, as well as those who have flown on the space shuttles, and lived in the space station. The video, 3 minutes and 33 seconds long, shows images from the Gemini missions, Apollo missions, and the space shuttle. It puts into perspective the relative size of the earth in relation to the vast infinity of space, and reemphasizes our need to be good stewards of our planet. After watching the video, write a few paragraphs on your feelings about our planet, and why we have to consider things like pollution, recycling, renewable resources, and being good stewards of the planet we call, "Earth." DEADLINE - Friday, 5/4/2012 For more on our planet, see below: Credit: NASA / JPL This excerpt from A Pale Blue Dot was inspired by an image taken, at Sagan's suggestion, by Voyager 1 on February 14, 1990. As the spacecraft left our planetary neighborhood for the fringes of the solar system, engineers turned it around for one last look at its home planet. Voyager 1 was about 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) away, and approximately 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane, when it captured this portrait of our world. Caught in the center of scattered light rays (a result of taking the picture so close to the Sun), Earth appears as a tiny point of light, a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size. Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. -- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994 EXTRA CREDIT #1 Technology is Everywhere!

Below is a recent article from ABC News regarding the recent decision of Twitter to now censor Tweets in some countries, where the governments object, in order not to "go around local laws." After reading the article and researching others online that are related, write a brief, typed essay of one page or more regarding the controversy of actions by companies such as Twitter and the U.S. Government to ban Internet use through laws such as SOPA and PIPA. DEADLINE - Friday, 2/10/2012 Twitter to Censor Tweets Country-by-Country Twitter's logo. Loic Venance/AFP/Getty Images ABC News' Kevin Dolak and Ned Potter Report: Twitter has announced a new plan that will allow it to censor users' tweets on a country-by-country basis if governments object to them. It says the policy is an attempt to keep doing business in countries, such as China, that do not welcome all expression. On the company's blog Twitter said it will now withhold offending content within the specific country that censors the language, while leaving it unaltered for the rest of the world. It will also post a censorship notice whenever a tweet is removed. "Until now, the only way we could take account of those countries' limits was to remove content globally. Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country — while keeping it available in the rest of the world," the company said. "If and when we are required to withhold a tweet in a specific country, we will attempt to let the user know, and we will clearly mark when the content has been withheld," said the company. "One of our core values as a company is to defend and respect each user's voice. We try to keep content up wherever and whenever we can, and we will be transparent with users when we can't." A censored post, the company said, would be labeled "Tweet withheld. This Tweet from @Username has been withheld in: Country." There would be a link to an explanation of the policy. Twitter and other Internet companies are trying to strike a difficult balance. The Internet is by nature global — and companies want to reach as many countries as they can — but they cannot go around local laws. "Twitter has been very thoughtful in trying to operate in a way that allows them to operate despite these limits," said Cynthia Wong, director of the Global Internet Freedom Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington. "At least they're trying to limit the harm to free expression." Having grown to 100 million users in six years, Twitter has been used as a tool for social uprisings around the world in the past year, from the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Arab Spring protests across the Middle East. "As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression," said Twitter's blog post. Twitter's new policy was met with objections via — what else? — Twitter posts. A group called Demand Progress posted a petition to the company: "We need you to keep fighting for and enabling freedom of expression — not rationalize away totalitarianism as a legitimate 'different idea.'" But the First Amendment in the U.S. is not widely matched around the world. Twitter pointed out that France and Germany ban pro-Nazi comments as hate speech. And its new censorship policy could also apply to South Korea's 2010 ban on North Korea's Twitter account. South Korea's Communications Standards Commission said it contained "illegal information." Twitter is currently blocked in China, where in 2010 Google had a highly publicized face-off with the country's government. Google finally stopped censoring online searches in China and directed users to its servers in Hong Kong, where the rules are looser. "It's understandable that users will be upset" with Twitter's new policy, said Wong, "but there's only so much a company can do to push back against governments." SECOND 9 WEEKS EXTRA CREDIT #4 Research the growing area of Blogging. Then go to our class website Blog and write a paragraph on blogging and / or respond to the other students that have posted there. Your post should be relevant, interesting and at least three well written sentences long. DEADLINE - Wednesday, 1/18/2012 Blog From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A blog (a blend of the term web log)[1] is a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Blogs are usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often are themed on a single subject. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users. (Previously a knowledge of such technologies as HTML and FTP had been required to publish content on the Web.) Although not a must, most good quality blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via GUI widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2] In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking. Indeed, bloggers do not only produce content to post on their blogs but also build social relations with their readers and other bloggers.[3] Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; yet still others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging or vlogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts. As of 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence.

DEADLINE - Friday, 12/9/2011 http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/ http://www.lookstoogoodtobetrue.com/ http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/tec h/tec09.shtm Facts for Consumers From The Federal Trade Commission http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/tech/tec09.shtm Dot Cons Dot com. Dot gov. Dot net. Dot org. Dot edu. Dot mil. Dot tv. The Internet has spawned a whole new lexicon and brought the world to your living room, 24/7/365. And while the opportunities online for consumers are almost endless, there are some challenges, too. As in dot con. Dot con? Dot con. Con artists have gone high-tech, using the Internet to defraud consumers in a variety of clever ways. Whether they're using the excitement of an Internet auction to entice consumers into parting with their money, applying new technology to peddle traditional business opportunity scams, using email to reach vast numbers of people with false promises about earnings through day trading, or hijacking consumers' modems and cramming hefty long-distance charges onto their phone bills, scam artists are just a click away. Fortunately, law enforcement is on the cyber-case. Using complaints to Consumer Sentinel, a consumer fraud database, as their guide, law enforcement officials have identified the top 10 dot cons facing consumers who surf the Internet, as well as many of the fraudsters behind them. In addition to putting many online con artists out of business, the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's chief consumer protection agency, wants consumers to know how not to get caught in their web. According to the FTC, here's what online consumers are complaining about most: Internet Auctions The Bait: Shop in a "virtual marketplace" that offers a huge selection of products at great deals. The Catch: After sending their money, consumers say they've received an item that is less valuable than promised, or, worse yet, nothing at all. The Safety Net: When bidding through an Internet auction, particularly for a valuable item, check out the seller and insist on paying with a credit card or using an escrow service. Internet Access Services The Bait: Free money, simply for cashing a check. The Catch: Consumers say they've been "trapped" into long-term contracts for Internet access or another web service, with big penalties for cancellation or early termination. The Safety Net: If a check arrives at your home or business, read both sides carefully and look inside the envelope to find the conditions you're agreeing to if you cash the check. Read your phone bill carefully for unexpected or unauthorized charges. Credit Card Fraud The Bait: Surf the Internet and view adult images online for free, just for sharing your credit card number to prove you're over 18. The Catch: Consumers say that fraudulent promoters have used their credit card numbers to run up charges on their cards. The Safety Net: Share credit card information only when buying from a company you trust. Dispute unauthorized charges on your credit card bill by complaining to the bank that issued the card. Federal law limits your liability to $50 in charges if your card is misused. International Modem Dialing The Bait: Get free access to adult material and pornography by downloading a "viewer" or "dialer" computer program. The Catch: Consumers complained about exorbitant long-distance charges on their phone bill. Through the program, their modem is disconnected, then reconnected to the Internet through an international long-distance number. The Safety Net: Don't download any program to access a so-called "free" service without reading all the disclosures carefully for cost information. Just as important, read your phone bill carefully and challenge any charges you didn't authorize or don't understand. Web Cramming The Bait: Get a free custom-designed website for a 30-day trial period, with no obligation to continue. The Catch: Consumers say they've been charged on their telephone bills or received a separate invoice, even if they never accepted the offer or agreed to continue the service after the trial period. The Safety Net: Review your telephone bills and challenge any charges you don't recognize. Multilevel Marketing Plans/ Pyramids The Bait: Make money through the products and services you sell as well as those sold by the people you recruit into the program. The Catch: Consumers say that they've bought into plans and programs, but their customers are other distributors, not the general public. Some multi-level marketing programs are actually illegal pyramid schemes. When products or services are sold only to distributors like yourself, there's no way to make money. The Safety Net: Avoid plans that require you to recruit distributors, buy expensive inventory or commit to a minimum sales volume. Travel and Vacation The Bait: Get a luxurious trip with lots of "extras" at a bargain-basement price. The Catch: Consumers say some companies deliver lower-quality accommodations and services than they've advertised or no trip at all. Others have been hit with hidden charges or additional requirements after they've paid. The Safety Net: Get references on any travel company you're planning to do business with. Then, get details of the trip in writing, including the cancellation policy, before signing on. Business Opportunities The Bait: Be your own boss and earn big bucks. The Catch: Taken in by promises about potential earnings, many consumers have invested in a "biz op" that turned out to be a "biz flop." There was no evidence to back up the earnings claims. The Safety Net: Talk to other people who started businesses through the same company, get all the promises in writing, and study the proposed contract carefully before signing. Get an attorney or an accountant to take a look at it, too. Investments The Bait: Make an initial investment in a day trading system or service and you'll quickly realize huge returns. The Catch: Big profits always mean big risk. Consumers have lost money to programs that claim to be able to predict the market with 100 percent accuracy. The Safety Net: Check out the promoter with state and federal securities and commodities regulators, and talk to other people who invested through the program to find out what level of risk you're assuming. Health Care Products/Services The Bait: Items not sold through traditional suppliers are "proven" to cure serious and even fatal health problems. The Catch: Claims for "miracle" products and treatments convince consumers that their health problems can be cured. But people with serious illnesses who put their hopes in these offers might delay getting the health care they need. The Safety Net: Consult a health care professional before buying any "cure-all" that claims to treat a wide range of ailments or offers quick cures and easy solutions to serious illnesses. Can you avoid getting caught by a scam artist working the web? Not always. But prudence pays. The FTC offers these tips to help you avoid getting caught by an offer that just may not click: Be wary of extravagant claims about performance or earnings potential. Get all promises in writing and review them carefully before making a payment or signing a contract. Read the fine print and all relevant links. Fraudulent promoters sometimes bury the disclosures they're not anxious to share by putting them in teeny-tiny type or in a place where you're unlikely see them. Look for a privacy policy. If you don't see one - or if you can't understand it - consider taking your business elsewhere. Be skeptical of any company that doesn't clearly state its name, street address and telephone number. Check it out with the local Better Business Bureau, consumer protection office or state Attorney General. The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1- 877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Watch a video, How to File a Complaint, at ftc.gov/video to learn more. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

EXTRA CREDIT #1 Read the article below, and research about the different results that are produced by various search engines. Then write a one page informational paper on your findings. DEADLINE - Thursday, 9/22/2011 How to Decipher Search Engine Results By Bruce Clay and Susan Esparza A search engine results page displays a lot of different information; in fact, you may not even be aware of all the different types of results you get. From vertical search engine results to related news stories to suggested spellings (if yours is a little rusty), the results page offers all sorts of ways for you to dig deeper into a subject. Say Mother's Day is coming up, and you want to buy your mother a nice bouquet of roses. (Good for you! No wonder Mom always liked you best.) After going to Google and typing your roses search query into the box, you're presented with a results page. The results page contains many different listings containing the keyword, or search word, roses, sorted according to what Google thinks is most relevant to you. The following figure shows a Google results page for the query roses. A results page for a typical Google search The following descriptions give you more information about the labeled parts in the figure. (This example uses a Google results page because they get the lion's share of traffic. Plus, there isn't much difference between their results-page layout and those of Yahoo! and Microsoft Live Search.) Search Box: The box where you type your search query. In this case, it's roses. Search Verticals: Links to the vertical search engines, the specialized ones that narrow your search into a specific type of result, such as news or images. Clicking one of these links takes you to a results page with only news or only images. Page Count: The number of Web pages Google found that match your search query in some way. In this case, it's a lot. Time Search Took: How long the search engine took to retrieve your results. Related Searches: Other topics that contain your query or other searches Google thinks might be relevant. Images: Picture files that match your query. This comes from Google's Images vertical engine. Clicking the link would take you to the vertical search results — in this case, a page containing only images of roses. News Results: Any news results pertaining to your query or containing a keyword. These come from the vertical news engine. Clicking the link would take you to the news page. Sponsored Links: The paid ads. Note how some of them relate to a specific geographic location near you. This is thanks to the local vertical search engine. Organic Results: The listing results from a general search of Google's index, with algorithms applied to determine relevance. Pagination: Links to the additional pages of results. Disambiguation: (not pictured) The "Did you mean . . . ?" suggestions that usually display after a misspelled search query or search queries that turned up very few results. It's Google trying to guess what you actually wanted. Because roses was spelled correctly, no disambiguation appears in the figure. You can test this feature for yourself by searching for rozes in Google. DEADLINE - Thursday, 9/22/2011

English Folk-Carols/Wassail Song
Cecil Sharp's note[edit]
The first six stanzas in the text are those that Mr. Bayliss gave me; they are printed without any alteration. The last three stanzas are from a variant sung to me by Mr. Isaac Bennett of Little Sodbury (Gloucestershire). The words are very similar to, but not identical with, those of "The Gloucestershire Wassailer's Song" quoted by Bell (Ballads and Songs of the Peasantry of England, p. 183).
Three Somerset variants of the Wassail Song are published in Folk-Songs from Somerset (Nos. 128-30) with explanatory notes, to which the reader is referred. The Gloucestershire Wassail song, of which Mr. Bayliss's version is I think a typical example, materially differs from that of Somerset and, I believe, from that of other counties as well.[2]
This work was published before January 1, 1923, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

working on last 2 minis for guild
Well, I'd hoped to finish my last 2 minis today, but I only got one top made. Making HSTs with scraps is time consuming! Lots of trimming, sewing, squaring, etc.
Anyway, this top is 12" square. Each eccentric star block is 3", so the HSTs are 1" square. That's about as mini as I want to go!
Donna I think your mini is beautiful and I like how you used a large print pattern for the border. I have not made a mini quilt yet but is on my future quilting to do list, I think it might be a fun project to make for a Barbie doll quilt for my great-niece to play with. TFS!
Best to you,
Lois, we have a silent auction of the minis at our quilt show, which is coming up next Feb. Our show is 2 days, and they would like to have 100 to auction each day, so the lady in charge of the silent auction challenged guild members to make one mini a month this year. These are my last 2! :)

Nice wristbands
These wristbands really work if you want to "wipe your brow" without carrying a towel around on the court. Of course they are great for keeping the sweat from running down your arm onto your hands.
Just what I wanted
I was looking for a wide sweatband for my wrist and this was perfect.
Decent Big Sweatbands
I like to use these for tennis. The only downfall, but would also be the case for any sweatband, is that they get very heavy when wet. I try to change it after each set. The definitely help your hand stay dry and are great for drying your brow.
