The show, which gives viewers a look at the high-stakes world of New York's real estate market, follows returning real estate agents Ryan Serhant and Fredrik Eklund and series newcomer Luis D. Ortiz, a high-energy, up-and-coming agent from Puerto Rico who's looking to make his mark in Manhattan.
This season will show the agents dealing with the devastation of Hurricane Sandy and sabotaging each other's open houses. Meanwhile, the properties featured include $10 million townhomes, $15 million penthouses and building developments exceeding the $50 million mark.
And, judging by the trailer, there will be at least one fight, a wedding and a pig thrown into the mix for good measure.
Million Dollar Listing New York returns at 10 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, on Bravo.

We numerically study the mutual interaction between dark matter (DM) and Population III (Pop III) stellar systems in order to explore the possibility of Pop III dark stars within this physical scenario. We perform a cosmological simulation, initialized at z∼ 100, which follows the evolution of gas and DM. We analyse the formation of the first minihalo at z∼ 20 and the subsequent collapse of the gas to densities of 1012 cm−3. We then use this simulation to initialize a set of smaller scale 'cut-out' simulations in which we further refine the DM to have spatial resolution similar to that of the gas. We test multiple DM density profiles, and we employ the sink particle method to represent the accreting star-forming region. We find that, for a range of DM configurations, the motion of the Pop III star–disc system serves to separate the positions of the protostars with respect to the DM density peak, such that there is insufficient DM to influence the formation and evolution of the protostars for more than ∼5000 years. In addition, the star–disc system causes gravitational scattering of the central DM to lower densities, further decreasing the influence of DM over time. Any DM-powered phase of Pop III stars will thus be very short-lived for the typical multiple system, and DM will not serve to significantly prolong the life of Pop III stars.

Procurement Reform
A measure to increase the budget authority of federal CIOs and to change IT procurement was added as an amendment to the Defense authorization bill on June 14. The overall National Defense Authorization Act passed the House by a vote of 315 to 108.
The Federal IT Procurement Reform Act (FITARA), which was co-sponsored by Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) and passed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in March, was added to the Defense bill on a voice vote, along with a number of other bipartisan measures. FITARA updates the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, which itself was passed as a section of a Defense authorization bill.
FCW: FITARA in context: Procurement reform since Clinger-Cohen
FCW: Procurement reform bill passes committee
White House Policy Statement
FCW: Senate panel pushes budget authority for CIOs
However, the FITARA that is now heading toward become law has been amended in some significant ways since passing committee. Lawmakers removed language that appeared to tip the scales in favor of open source over proprietary software – a change sought by many in industry. The legislation also now calls for the federal IT Dashboard to track "steady state" or operations and maintenance spending, and clarifies that agency CIOs have hiring authority over deputies and associate CIOs at large bureaus and agency components.
The measure puts "real meaning behind the term 'chief information officer,'" Issa said in remarks on the House floor. "Never again will someone have that title and have no budget authority or responsibility. When a program goes right, the chief information officer is responsible. When a program goes awry, it's his or her job to make it right."
"There are more than 250 identified CIOs in the federal government, yet none possess the necessary authority to effectively manage IT investments," said Connolly in an e-mailed statement. "This has resulted in duplicative and wasteful IT spending, with taxpayers forced to foot the bill for massive IT program failures that ring up staggeringly high costs, but exhibit astonishingly poor performance."
'Never again will someone have that title [CIO] and have no budget authority or responsibility.' -- Rep. Darrell Issa
The bill also pushes the acceleration of cloud computing technology, and tries to reduce duplication in IT contracts by requiring the Office of Federal Procurement Policy to weigh in on the creation of new government-wide contract vehicles. It also adds new rigor to the calculation of savings from data center optimization.
The White House threatened to veto the $638 billion Defense bill in a June 11 policy statement, for reasons wholly unrelated to FITARA. The administration has yet to offer comment on FITARA, but back in January, federal CIO Steven VanRoekel told the House Oversight committee that he already has the authority under the law to accomplish many of the policy goals spelled out in the bill. The Senate has yet to hold hearings on the bill, but the issue of CIO authority was the subject of a recent hearing by the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

Publisher's Description
Throughout his career, Ravi Zacharias has faced some of the most difficult questions ever asked about the Christian faith. The most troublesome question of all, however, came from a Hindu friend. If this conversion is truly supernatural, he asked, why is it not more evident in the lives of so many Christians that I know? Beyond Opinion is Dr. Zachariass response.
In addition to his own contributions, Ravi Zacharias brings together the global team of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, including Alister McGrath and John Lennox, to suggest a new vision for Christian apologetics in this century. Their aim is an apologetic governed by human relationship and committed to winning people rather than arguments.Speaking from their experiences and expertise, the contributors offer guidance on a broad range of topics, including:
- Postmodern Challenges and the Bible
- Challenges from Atheism
- Challenges from Islam
- Conversational Apologetics
- Existential Challenges of Evil and Suffering

David ShawTecumseh, OK4 Stars Out Of 5February 4, 2011David ShawTecumseh, OKQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Beyond Opinion is a collection of writings by different authors that deal with a variety of apologetic issues of the Christian faith. These issues are divided into four general sections which make it easier to access for future reference. And I believe that is exactly what this book is, a reference book. This is a book that you could use to prepare conversations you may have with a Muslim, an atheist, someone who believes in science to prove existence and to aid in response to those who question how a loving God would allow evil and suffering in the world, just to name a few. This book is academic in nature and very heady. And that should be expected since defending our faith with unbelievers is mainly intellectual in nature. It is a book that could very easily be used in an apologetics class to facilitate discussion. In the last section Ravi writes that as well as being intellectual we must also live our faith. He gives a quote from a non-believer who questioned whether our new birth was truly a supernatural act. The question was this, "If this conversion is truly supernatural, why is it not more evident in the lives of so many Christians I know?" After reading this book you shouldn't need to have that question asked of you. Disclaimer - I received this resource free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their Book Sneeze book review blogger program. All that was required of me is that I review it, positively or negatively, on my site.

Scotty4 Stars Out Of 5"Beyond Opinion" is a must-read on apologeticsNovember 24, 2010ScottyQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4If you want a significant resource to help you better share and defend your Christian faith, "Beyond Opinion" is the book you need to add to your bookshelf.
When I first started reading the book, I didn't think that would be my final conclusion. But the book, compiled by distinguished Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias (who did some of the writing and was joined by noted members of his international ministry), is loaded with skill-building knowledge for the Christian who wants to win people rather than arguments.
Initially, I thought it rather arrogant of Zacharias to write in the introduction, "This may not be a 'read-through' book that can be absorbed in a single sitting. But I suggest to you it is a 'must-read' book for our times ..." but I soon discovered Zacharias was right on both counts (even if he did "say so" himself!).
Getting into the book is slow going. I found the early chapters to be so laden with foundational information it seemed as if the writer was cutting corners to contain the chapters. That made for a choppy read, almost as if the work was the result of a poor edit job.
However --- and fortunately for that "however" --- the remainder of the book smoothed out into a readable flow chalk full of great insights about sharing and defending the Christian faith. These insights do not make for light reading. The material Zacharias and his co-writers present is the real, heavy-duty content of apologetics ranging from how to help the non-believer who has genuine questions about Christianity, to defending against the "enemies" who try their best to destroy our faith.
It is precisely because "Beyond Opinion" (published by Thomas Nelson) is not just another light-weight book on apologetics that I highly recommend it. The writers pull out all the "big words" and intellectual terms in the material they present, yet manage to provide readers of various backgrounds knowledge and insights understandable for anyone ranging from the new Christian to the experienced church leader.
If you're serious about sharing your Christian, faith, this is a serious resource that can better help you do that.
Jonathan McPetersSouthern IndianaAge: 25-34Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Great reading...really makes you think!November 9, 2010Jonathan McPetersSouthern IndianaAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Beyond Opinion—Ravi Zacharias:
Alright, so Ravi Zacharias is the compiling editor, not the actual "author", but he did write a couple of the sections, and the other authors are on his staff at RZIM. Zacharias opens the book with an Introduction that effectively lays out the need for such a book. Beyond Opinion is a collection of articles on practical apologetics.
This is not the stuff that people go flocking to read, but rather the stuff that people prefer to defer to the experts. The point Zacharias makes in the introduction is that effective apologetics isn't just for the experts, but that the non-expert (i.e. the rest of us) instead needs "to connect with the questioner at a personal level." The stated purpose of the book is "to encourage and challenge the non-expert to feel comfortable talking about the Gospel without feeling the burden of needing a high level of philosophical training." He admits that it's not easy reading, but makes a compelling point that it is necessary reading given the times in which we live.

Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for Western Oregon
- The Future of Oregon Forestry
The BLM reaches out to local communities to help usher in a future of forestry that balances social, economic, and ecological values
"The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is in the process of revising the Resource Management Plans (RMP) for western Oregon. These 2.5 million acres have an important role to the social, economic, and ecological well being of western Oregon, as well as to the greater American public. Your engagement is important to us. We are striving for a whole different approach of engaging the public through outreach and community collaboration. We want to engage you in ways that are in your best interest and communicate where we're heading based on science, public inputs, regulations, and guidance.
There are a lot of important and complex issues that need to be addressed during this revision process. There are also very diverse and strong opinions on how these lands should be managed in the future. In an effort to try to change the dialogue, I want to focus our discussions around outcomes, not outputs. We realize we can't do this alone. Nor does the BLM have the sole 'solution.' Rather, we want to work together, across the board, to explore those solutions. Please join us in this exciting process of developing the RMPs for western Oregon to manage public lands for present and future generations."
— Jerome E. Perez, BLM State Director, Oregon/Washington
The Resource Management Plans (RMP) for Western Oregon will determine how the BLM-administered lands in western Oregon will be managed to further the recovery of threatened and endangered species, provide for clean water, restore fire-adapted ecosystems, produce a sustained yield of timber products, coordinate management of lands surrounding the Coquille Forest with the Coquille Tribe, and provide for recreation opportunities.
These lands provide forest products, fish and wildlife habitat, and countless recreation opportunities. Unlike national forests, BLM western Oregon public lands are generally not large contiguous blocks. A "checkerboard" pattern of public land is what makes up the federal lands.
A Resource Management Plan Evaluation was completed in 2011 and found a need to revise our plans to respond to emerging environmental, economic, and social changes on the landscape. Our current RMPs have become less and less useful as a guide for management actions because of many new BLM policies, laws, as well as important scientific advancements.
Following is a tentative timeline for the RMPs for Western Oregon planning process:

Accidental Calls To New York City's 911 Add Up
By editor
A report says in 2010, 38 percent of 911 calls in New York City were accidental calls lasting just seconds. Most, according to the New York Daily News, appear to be calls made from pockets or purses. There were actually more of these calls than calls that warranted a response by a police car.

Anyone have any crocheted snowflake or ball cover patterns?
New here. I've been at GW for a long time, but just got back into my crafting, so I've been looking around at THS and love it! Hate to come in asking for something, but I really need these patterns.
I know I had some, but I cannot for the life of me find them, and I'd love to make some this year. I have some old glass balls I want to spray paint in different metallic colors and put into ball covers.
bruggirl100, try freepatterns.com. I think that's the site. You have to register, but it is free. I used to have some in one of the crochet magazines, but I gave it away. I'm sure I saw some from the magazine I had on this site last year. Your idea sounds great! Welcome back to the crafting world!
Try this site.
There is a ton of free patterns here.
Linda from PA
I got all excited because I KNEW I'd seen some somewhere.
And I did find them again. There is a 6-pointed snowflake pattern near the top of the page. And several patterns for balls near the bottom.
Unfortunately, they are all knitted!
Can you be converted?
Here is a link that might be useful: knitted snowflake & ball covers
I have a cute little snowflake that I happened upon while playing with a border pattern (couldn't get the pattern to come out right but came up with the snowflake).
It's really simple. Just chain 5 and close to form a circle then chain 3 as a "turn" stitch. Using the "eye" of the circle (rather than one of the stitches) work 13 Trebel then 3sc turn. Now using the space between every second trebel stitch, work a pointed shell (3dc, 3sc, 3dc) until you work all the way back to the start.
Best Wishes
Yahoo Group you can join:
and the mother of all snowflake sites!
i've been trying to find all my old glass ball cover patterns, and i had the same magazine that had maybe 6-10 of them, but it's been gone for many moves.
did find these patterns for crochet ball covers:
(size 10 thread/size 7 steel hook)
(size 10 thread/size 9 steel hook)
(luster or knit-cro sheen/size E hook)
they're sorta like the ones i had. plan on giving them a try tonight.
good luck!

Microsoft sells over half of its $1 billion AOL patent portfolio to FacebookMicrosoft has signed a deal with Facebook to sell the social networking site $550 million worth of patents from the over $1 billion portfolio it recently acquired from AOL.
Facebook will get 650 patents and patent applications from Microsoft, and license the rights to use 275 other patents Microsoft is retaining in the deal, according to a report by Reuters. Microsoft will also retain the rights to use the patents it is selling to Facebook.
Microsoft bought the package of AOL patents, which cover technologies ranging from e-commerce to mobile devices and services to advertising, earlier this year in a deal that won out over competitive bids from Amazon and eBay.
Microsoft's general counsel Brad Smith, stated that the company's deal with Facebook enable it "to recoup over half of our costs while achieving our goals from the AOL auction."
The patents Microsoft acquired from AOL involved rights to inventions used by AOL's ICQ instant messaging and, in an odd twist of fate, the Netscape browser Microsoft worked hard to put out of business in the late 90s with its own Internet Explorer.
In 2007, Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook, and the two companies have since partnered on Bing web search and Skype video chat since. The deal was viewed as a defensive measure by Facebook to protect itself from patent litigation by Yahoo (which Microsoft has also partnered with in web search since 2009).
Facebook already owns a portfolio of 56 patents and 503 applications of its own, along with 750 patents it acquired from IBM last month.
The strategic race to acquire patents has recently blossomed to involve every major tech company. Last summer, Microsoft partnered with Apple and RIM to buy up Nortel's wireless patents for $4.5 billion, followed by Google's deal to buy all of Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.

Rep. Blake Farenthold (foreground) believes OPM's struggles to process retirement claims fast enough is a failure of IT modernization. (File photo)
The Office of Personnel Management is closing in on a July deadline for a pledge to reduce its backlog of retirement claims, and the agency may not make it.
OPM officials blame budget constraints and a surge in claims, but congressional overseers see shoddy IT systems as a critical concern.
Sequestration forced OPM to eliminate overtime hours for its employees working on retirement claims, Kenneth Zawodny, OPM's associate director of retirement services, told the House Oversight and Government Reform committee on May 9.
In addition, the number of retirement claims spiked well beyond OPM's expectations, with about 60,000 new applications between January and April of this year -- a 43 percent increase over the same period last year and 51 percent above OPM's own projections. The surge was driven in large part by U.S. Postal Service employees taking voluntary buyouts.
"It's too early to understand the impact" of the end to overtime on OPM's pledge to reduce backlog, Zawodny said at a May 9 hearing of the oversight committee's federal workforce subcommittee. The target for July is to ensure that 90 percent of claims are processed within 60 days or fewer.
Panel chairman Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), however, pointed to a different cause: OPM's failure to implement needed information technology upgrades to automate retirement claims processing. OPM is using "a COBOL system patched together with spreadsheets," Farenthold said, adding that "the federal government couldn't compute its way out of a paper bag."
OPM has a history of failed attempts at modernizing its retirement processing system, with several projects dating back to 1987 scrapped because of poor performance. The agency's most recent modernization plan was cancelled in 2011, and since then OPM has committed itself to phasing in incremental IT reforms, including improvements that allow federal retirees to access account information online. But according to a Government Accountability Office report prepared for the hearing, the current work "reflects a less ambitious goal for retirement processing timeliness and does not address improving or replacing the legacy systems that support retirement processing."
This year, OPM is slated to spend $85 million on IT systems, and is responsible for paying benefits to 2.5 million federal retirees. Zawodny said he fears that budget cuts will hinder the agency's progress in upgrading computer systems. "Without proper resources, the momentum we currently have processing claims and moving toward IT modernization will be in jeopardy," he said.
Also troubling to the committee was the $103.3 million in improper payments to deceased retirees in fiscal year 2012. OPM's rate of improper payment is low compared to most federal programs, OPM inspector general Patrick McFarland said, "when there are cost-effective steps that could prevent the loss of significant amounts of taxpayer dollars, those steps must be taken." Additionally, the work of group set up to develop methods of targeting possible instances of improper payments or fraud using analytics is stalled, McFarland said.

OPM and it's Office of Inspector General are among the three worst managed and relatively wasteful agencies in the federal govt. Senior officials of OPM and it's IG are grossly incompetent and have been duplitous through the years in commiting hiring fraud, subornation of fraud and perjury among it's employees, and abrogation of their legal mandate. Congress has failed to provide the most elementary oversight of this agency allowing it to foist a scam on the American taxpayer for the past 35 years. In particular, OPM's only presidentially appointed Inspector General is incompetent and has ignored all ethical tenets of management. IG Mcfarland has allowed to exist a cottege industry of waste, abuse, operational folly, and legal defiance of congressionally legislated mandates since his appointment in 1990. Mcfarland's This appointment to IG advanced him to senior executive management without having minimum levels of supervisory or management experience. Because of this fact, the Deputy Director of the Secret Service asked him to withdraw from his nomination to this IG position which Mcfarland refused to do. The activities he oversees in his present position are a travesty and a folly.

The company has amazing talent in the Delivery groups with respect to Project Managers, Delivery Managers, Quality Managers.
The company has a great future for professionals who work in BPO and KPO sector and who want to climb up the organizational-ladder fast.
Demand an astronomical hike (upto 75%) if you are pretty sure that you are having niche skills and if you have been badgered by the Hiring team on phone multiple times to join; maybe you would get lucky. But that's pretty much the start and end of your dream and your professional ambitions. If you are happy with the Money, then hang on there.
You might be quite surprised by a quick onsite project on a long-duration even. Dollars count, Isn't it?
The company has inherited its core strengths from its parent company, which assures them a continuous source of revenue for the next 10 years at-least.
The Bangalore office is located in the heart of the city; which is a blessing for native Bangloreans; maybe this factor doesn't matter much for aggressive and ambitious professionals, who are not frustrated by long-hours commuting.Cons
Vision, Mission and core values are not institutionalized. Lacks a true Visionary. The hunger and thirst of a struggling entrepreneur doesn't get reflected in the growth-ethos of the company.
Policies and guiding principles of the company which influence the delivery of KPO and IT Services projects are established and implemented as a result of outcome of client audits rather than as organic initiatives.
Severe lack of formalized and automated process in the Support functions often frustrate the employees and the employer.
Lack of employee welfare is reflected in the poor management of the company's facilities at Bangalore. Please don't mistake employee welfare with Birthday parties or company's annual celebrations.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Envision, Think, Plan, Blueprint, Implement, Grow and Communicate to the associates what Synowledge stands for and what it aspires for.
Make it a place where every associate would take pride in working and coming back everyday with a smiling face. This can't be done by salary revisions or onsite deputations.RecommendsPositive Outlook

MIPTV: Keshet Sells 'Rising Star' to Greece, Ukraine
Broadcasters in Greece and Ukraine are the latest to catch on to Rising Star, the hit Israeli singing competition format, with Greek network MEGA and Ukraine's 1+1 taking local adaptation rights to the show from Keshet International.
Rising Star, which ABC will air in the U.S., is billed as the first truly interactive talent show. Viewers at home can vote live for their favorite contestants. If a singer gets enough viewer votes, a wall of television screens with images of the viewers rises up, allowing the performer to complete their song in front of the live studio audience.
VIDEO: CBS' 'Amazing Race' Sneak Peek
Since premiering to hit ratings in Israeli last year, the show has been an international sales success story. Keshet has sold format rights to more than 25 territories following the show's launch at the MIPCOM TV market in Cannes last October. That makes Rising Star the fastest-selling talent show format of all time, according to research group The WIT.
Both the Greek and Ukrainian broadcasters plan to launch their local versions of Rising Star this fall. 1+1 in Ukraine has opted the format in a multi-season deal with an initial 15 episode order for the first season. MEGA, which also picked up Keshet's children's music talent show Master Class, commissioned an initial 14-episode first season for Rising Star.

The first international version of Rising Star will go out in primetime on Globo Brazil on April 6. ABC will bow the U.S. version of the show this summer.

Now Hear This
It's tragic how many families don't have health insurance, and hopefully the presidential campaign will make health care reform more of a national priority. But even parents who have insurance can face major medical costs. Insurance companies will often pay for some things, but not others—like crucial therapy for autism and, as I just learned, children's hearing aids. Children who are hearing-impaired need new hearing aids every few years, and they can cost several thousand dollars. Legislation called Grace's Law, is being considered in New Jersey; it would require insurers to cover up to $1000 towards hearing aids every 24 months. Kudos to other states who've passed similar mandates: Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, Kentucky, Lousiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island.
Tell us about other crucial health expenses for your child that your insurance company won't cover.

Oxford doesn't cover my son's epi-pen which he has because of a life-threatening allergy. It may not seem like a big deal, but he needs to have many of them (at school, at home, at his dad's house, at camp etc) and they cost $75 each. It angers me just on principle!! And I pay a lot of money for this insurance!

Somehow an 'insurance' system for illness has always seemed backwards to me, but then I'm a Brit was socialist medicine is taken for granted.

I guess we're lucky that we have Tricare which is the military (and government? I don't know) healthcare coverage and it's fantastic. As long as we're seen at a military medical center or a doc that takes Tricare, we never pay a copay. If we get our scripts filled on post, they're free. I haven't encountered anything negative about Tricare personally but I know of one family that has had issues with getting a wheelchair for their daughter who has cerebral palsy. She has to have it, she's completely immobile but has the use of one arm to wheel herself so her family and therapists want her to have a chair with a one-arm drive…Tricare says if she needs that she should have a power chair. Uh, this kid would take out half the town with a power chair, she's way silly. It irritates me when insurance companies try to tell people what they need.

Well, it's not crucial, but it would be awfully hard to deal with not having, but NB's insurance doesn't cover his ADHD visits. Not his medication OR visits with the doctor. And we don't get refills. So we go EVERY month. It gets spendy, but he is a completey changed kid now. He gets good grades and has FRIENDS.

My insurance called gestational diabetes a 'pre-existing condition' when I was neither pregnant nor diabetic when I enrolled. I just got a refund (almost two years later) with no explanation (read: the decision was reversed after someone got irritated enough to have the matter investigated by their state department of insurance resulting in refunds for all of us- thank you anonymous insurance consumer!)
Insurance is not federally regulated, but the consumer still has recourse. Contact your state's department of insurance if you feel you're being cheated by your insurer (health, home, or auto). Find your department of insurance here: http://www.naic.org/state_web_map.htm
I always hated that my former employer's health insurance would pay for Viagra for men but not birth control for women.

It all seems so arbitrary doesn't it? From a different perspective, my mom is a physical therapist with her own practice, so she has to bill tons of different companies—it's awful! If you think companies make patients jump through hoops, you should see the hoops practitioners have to jump through. (There's a reason there's a whole job for specialists in medical billing, it's so complex.) She doesn't blame her patients ever, but sometimes it takes her YEARS to get paid for visits.

3D-printable gunmaker licensed to manufacture and sell in U.S.
An online sharing community for 3D-printed firearm designs has been granted a U.S federal firearm license to manufacture and sell 3D-printed guns.
According to the Financial Post, Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson was granted the license Saturday.
Mr. Wilson still requires something referred to as Class 2 Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT) designation to manufacture parts for a wider range of firearms, including fully-automatic rifles.
3D printers have the ability to cheaply and quickly manufacture plastic objects, which include automatic and semi-automatic guns.
Defense Distributed's plastic gun parts are typically printed on more expensive professional printers.

Barley harvest finally kicks off
North Dakota and northwest Minnesota barley growers had wrapped up an excellent harvest by this time a year ago. This year, most producers are just beginning their harvest, two or three weeks later than usual, and early returns are mixed.
Brian Lacey, who raises barley in Wendell, Minn., on the southern edge of Minnesota's main barley-growing area, already has finished his barley.

Ask a gardener
Have you got any questions about Greenway garden, or would you like some advice about your own patch? Why not ask one of the garden team? They would be happy to help; just drop them an email.
Garden tours
Every day in the summer season there is a free tour of the garden which start outside the shop at 1.45pm and lasts for 40 minutes. Join one to find out what's in flower and the history of the gardens.
Garden highlights
The team re-instated viewing platforms above the Bird Pond and have cut grass paths through the meadow. You can now take in some unusual and rare plantings on the way down from the Top Border.
Hidden gems
Kwan Yin
A lovely little pond tucked away on the middle path and graced by this sculpture by Nicholas Dimbleby.
The views
Walk to the top garden for the best views over the river; from the battery, you can sometimes see seals.
The battery
Built as a Napoleonic defence in the 1790s, it's the perfect place to sit and watch the river.
What's looking good?
- The grass border which was planted this time last year is now well established
- In the Walled Garden the Chinese silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis), periwinkle (Vinca) and Japanese quince (Chaenomoles) all look great
- There is still lots of autumn colour to see on the main drive, including black gum trees (Nyssa sylvatica) and acers
- Look out for the dainty blooms of Camellia 'Cornish Snow' at the Kwan Yin pond and the path to the Top Border
- In the Nursery borders the flame red flowers of the salvia elegans are still going strong
- By Kwan Yin you can't miss the Dichroa febrifuga's (part of the hydrangea family) beautiful electric blue flowers
School allotment
Pupils from our local primary school tend this vegetable patch in the Walled Garden once a week; it's thriving under their care.
Walled gardens
The walled gardens are a perfect balance of industry and leisure, home to the peach house and vinery and the Galmpton School allotment, as well as soft borders and a large lawn to relax on. A must see.
Top garden
A stroll to the top garden rewards you with a gorgeous summer border. Highlights include late flowering clematis on the walls and the unusual beschorneria, a succulent with pink six-foot flower spikes.
Remodeled in the mid-19th century, this lush and secluded area surrounds a pool and fountain. The nearby pet cemetery is home to the graves of Agatha's family's much-loved dogs.

Southern Gardening: Flowering vines make great bedding annuals
Don't forget flowering annual vines this spring when you look for bedding plants at your favorite local garden center. These plants add interest and color as they spread across fences and arbors.
Annual vines are fascinating, as they complete their entire life cycle right before your eyes. In just one season, the seeds germinate, the plants grow and flower, and they set seed for the next generation before they die. This is a lot of living packed into one short season.

Kim Heard purchased this condo in 2012
After vacationing in many different places across the US and Mexico, we planned a trip to Panama City Beach. Our time vacationing in PCB was amazing. We started most mornings having coffee on the balcony taking in the sounds and smell of the ocean, days spending time playing on the beach or relaxing by the pool and evenings either staying in cooking a nice meal or venturing out to local attractions. After a long search and doing our homework, we chose Sterling Breeze. The sunset from the balcony is AMAZING!
The style and decor of Sterling Breeze, the amenities and location with over 25 dining and shopping choices, less than a half mile away, make it the perfect choice. One very unique feature is the Grill out on the private balcony.
Was extremely pleased with this condo! It was clean, very spacious, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Clint and Kim are very attentive and have covered every detail.
My family have been coming to Panama Beach for years and stayed at many condos, mostly Calyso. This is our time stay at Sterling Breeze and we couldn't have pick a better condo than this. The condo is very clean and up to date. The location is perfect. The condo came with 2 beach chairs, which save us $$$. Love the this condo, its has so many extras that other condos I stayed cannot compare. The owners, Kim and husband, are very thoughtful in details of this condo. We would definitely back!
This was the perfect getaway with the comforts of home plus more. Waking up to see such a beautiful view of the ocean, the patio and the location in walking distance to the pier, shopping and restaurants. We will definitely be back in the future!
I was completely impressed with our stay :) This place brought my family joy, and boy have we needed some joy. Kim was a total Jewel to talk to and work with. When walking into their family condo the first feeling was beautifully decorated and clean! The beds felt incredible to sleep on, I am the type that's up by 5:30am. But on vacation I slept till 7 every morning. Talk about comfy rest! Everything was top of the line even down to the patio furniture on the balcony. Kim goes above and beyond with what your family needs, it was effortless staying there. God Bless and anyone that stays in Kim's family Condo will have a wonderful family getaway!
This was a great condo and we enjoyed our time there.
We would certainly like to visit again.
Many thanks to the owners :):):)
This is a great condo! The amenities are excellent and a very comfortable unit. The owners have made so many homey details and made us feel so welcome. Great view and loved the beach service. Would highly recommend this condo. Got a chance to see another condo in this complex and this one is really so much nicer! I like the west end of the beach so this was good location. Kim was very helpful and definitely would rent again.
Walking distance to several local eateries. Dusties Seafood and Oyster Bar is less than one block away.
