what seeds do you direct sow in fall?
Morning everyone,
I was just wondering what kinds of flowers you all sow in the ground in fall. I have a bunch of hollyhock seeds that I had left over from the seed exchange last year, and I'm giving it a try and hoping for the best. thanks!
I hope you get a LOT of answers to this question, because I'd like to know if there is anyting I shoud be doing, too!
I have cosmos sulphureum aka 'Bright Lights' and moss roses, Feverfew and Cleome. I don't direct sow, it's just that once you have these 4, they will naturally go to seed and come up in the spring.
The thing is, I'm not sure I should recommend sowing in fall with these. I have always* let a these go to seed and they come up, but not by the millions. I always have just enough. I would think that I would have millions and millions of plants based on the sheer numbers, but I don't, which leads me to think I get about 10-15% germination from them? I imagine some seeds are eaten, but I'm not sure what happens to the others.
It's like those darn poppies! They are impossible for me to get going. I have tried off and on for 20 years, but I expect once I get them in my garden, they will come up on their own. It's probably the diffeence between the 100 seeds in a pack and the 1000s they will self sow.
Lime - I have the toughest time with poppies too. I thought it had something to do with the quality of the seeds I bought. But now I have something growing in those pots (that I planted in February)...and I hope they're not weeds! :) In the spring I planted violas - and much to my surprise found that I was growing pokeweed (after having it identified here). lol...
Spartan - today I'm trying sweet autumn clematis - I have some seeds left over of that one too. But I planted some delphiniums (not too sure about those).. and some pink peony poppies.
campanula.bellflower .....B
clarkia elegans
chinese Forget-Me-Not
Jupiter's Beard ....P
malva sylvestris.........P
mullein ...giant weed
nemophila - Baby-Blue-Eyes
Rose campion..........P
salvia hominum
opium poppies
Shirley poppy
Sweet Pea
sweet alyssum
Those are some of the self seeders in my garden. I always wonder while I'm weeding which seeds I'm stirring around. Are they from this year or perhaps they've been in the soil a number of years? After a few years you can recognize the seedlings and can move them around while tiny.
Some of next year's flowers are growing already. eg :Foxgloves, cornflowers, salvia etc. Most will seed around the 'mother' plant but I'm never sure where something might pop up.
I'd love to see everyone's answer to this, too, because I've just gotten into the online trading, so I've got lots and lots of seeds to sow! ;o) I'm thinking of starting Hollyhocks in pots, because the bed I want them in isn't quite ready, yet. I've got zinnias and marigolds ready to go, and also Belamcanda. I think I'll go ahead with my Monarda and datura, too.
Great list, Libby. I think I'll just use it as my wishlist as-is. This is one of the first times I've seen wallflower mentioned -- do most of you CGer's grow it?
Does anybody grow Agrostemma -- corn cockle? That's one I would like to add to Libby's list and I think it is one of those early-ealry spring sowers.
These are just a few, Hollyhocks,lupines,foxglove,Kiss me over garden gate, peony poppies, Black eye susans, Birds planted lot of Queen Anne's lace. Some of the very small seeds like poppies -just press into soil. I protect ever green branchs so birds don't get seeds
Poppies have always been tricky for me too, but this spring I had my first success with them! I received some white California poppies from the seed swap last year, and they did great. Thanks to whomever sent them. :-)
Are there varieties of poppies that are hardier than others or maybe the weather conditions were just right for successfully growing them ???? I'm not sure why this spring was different but it was a real victory for me.
Good to see you posting again! In addition to poppies and sweet peas (which I direct sow in the fall) some wildflower seeds need to be sown during the fall as well. I don't really need to sow too much in the fall because I have a lot of self-seeders.
Thanks to everyone for the info! Libby, thanks so much for that list - I can't wait to get out there today! :)
Marilyn, thanks! It's good to be back. I sold my house and moved and was up to my eyeballs in boxes. (Moving from a 1500 sq. ft. house to a 720 sq ft. house). But I have a fresh slate here at the new house.
thanks again, everyone!

Thumb Arcade
The brief:
Say hello to Thumb Arcade, a new and exciting mobile games developer! This project required some rather fun illustration, branding and site design! The brief was simple, create a bright, exciting and somewhat bonkers new brand and site design for this fresh new mobile games development company. Just the kind of brief I love. And when they said they wanted all of it to be cartoon illustrated, my eyes lit up!
The solution:
With a name like Thumb Arcade, it didn't take all that long to visualise the character for this...a thumb...stood at an arcade, what more could you ask for? Needless to say the character came together really well and its one that both the guys at Thumb Arcade and myself are really pleased with! When we moved onto the site, it simply became an extension of the character, creating a fully illustrated site that the character could reside in. Great fun. Why not pop over to the site and see what they're up to.
Cocos 2D
Creating the brand for Cocos 2D was great fun and it was great to give something back to the company that gives so much to the industry!

How much is too much sun
My plants get nearly all day sun and are in 7 gallon containers. My plants are now budding, blooming and setting fruit. We are about to enter a 10 day window with high 80 to mid 90 degree temps and little to no clouds predicted. Should I let the peppers be or should I move them to an area of less sun exposure? They are just getting going good on setting fruit and I don't want to have them stall out due to blossom drop or heat stress. I dont want to go through the shade cloth thing but you all down south deal with situations like this all summer. What do you recommend? Just leave them soak up the sun or move them until the heat/sun pattern breaks?
here in texas at those temps are pretty cool. it is 105-110 today. i would move them under a patio or some shade with a little breeze, they will take off. it will lower the temps by about 10 degrees. ghost peppers are a little more finicky. i would leave them out in full sun.
In MD we had 90-98 with high humidity made the index 100-107, I found that if I watered the previous evening they would be stressed and wilted by the time I got home from work, but if I watered in the early am before work the temp did not phase them. Full sun from the am to about 7pm then the house shades them. Because my pots drain quickly I had to water daily for those real hot days, now that it cooled down back to 3-4 days or more before watering. I think your plants should do fine. In the extreme heat my Hab may have dropped a dozen or less flowers not bad at all and some pods still set in the heat.
This weekend 97-100 forecasted.
Heh, that would be cool around here right now, we're hovering around or above 100 for the next week.
Long story short, the peppers will be absolutely fine in that. Just watch for if they need extra watering than you're used to up till now (if the leaves are droopy at dusk, they need some water).
When in doubt, screen door mesh from the local hardware store makes excellent cheap shade cloth.
Atlanta doesn't have the blazing heat of W. Texas, but we can get pretty warm and (pace the Gulf coast) somewhat more humid. My current growing location gets full sun from dawn till 3-4PM. I let them have all the sun they can get.
'Course, I'm not growing anything "exotic" like those S. Asiam radioactive peppers. So YMMV.
Bruce, should be just fine, 80-90F is not a problem with all day sun. Worst you get is a bit of sunburn on the fruit if they are far enough along. If it goes over 90, you may have some fruit set issues, but the plants will be fine. If you have fruit, try to arrange leaves to shade the fruit if possible to avoid sunburn.
It gets warm/hot here later in the Summer and into the fall and have never had any probs with the temps you mentioned. No idea on the ghost though---first time this year :) .
The only instances of sunscald I've ever noticed were on my colored bells(thinner foliage, large fruit).
Old white sheets make excellent, cheap sunshades. You still get "some" sun and cools the plants also --- rather than fully shading them under a patio or awning(no sun).
Thanks guys. They have had 4 or 5 days of 90+ with full sun and are looking good. They are blooming and still setting nearly every bloom. I have two pods on my Red Tree Habanero and both of them are sun burned but I really don't think that really hurts them, does it? We have 10 more straight 90+ degree days in the forecast so I hope it doesn't get any hotter.
I had to smile on this thread, because I too was starting to worry about high heat and my pepper plants. But, after reading thru all the HIGH temperatures some of you mentioned, our high eighties and low nineties are a cake walk!
A couple of weeks ago my peppers were struggling with all the rain we were receiving, but they are looking great now! I upped the fertilizer and mother nature has laid off the rain...so the peppers are happy.
Bruce--my bells are blooming and starting to set....are yours?
naturemitch: No, not even buds on my bell. I snipped the first couple fruits a long time ago along with the other plants but the bell hasn't put out any more buds or blooms as yet. I doubt I will be able to carry any that do develop to full term. The plant continues to grow however.
naturemitch, it is very interesting to hear you complain about too much rain. Down south of you just a little ways, we are bone dry. We haven't had even an inch in the last month plus. It is getting critical down here. But I know how we it was up there. I was camping just south of Black River Falls last weekend and was astonished at how high the river was. But just an hour or so south, we are under DNR burning bans and the towns around here are all cancelling fireworks for the 4th.
Hey Bruce,
I'll add something here. Your question is "How much is too much sun?", but the conversation is focused on temperatures. I submit that temperature and sun intensity are not necessarily directly related.
If the question was "How hot is too hot?", I would say at that point where pollination is adversly affected - which is a function of temperature and humidity rather than sun intensity.
Now, as for "..too much sun". I would say that this is more a function of your latitude than your temperature. I'll give you an example. It may be 100+ where you are, and 85 where I am, but the sun's intensity will be FAR GREATER here than there. Too much direct summer sun for me might be 2 hours, where too much direct summer sun for you might be 6 hours - even though your temps are much higher.
Exactly Bruce...LOL. Gardening is a site specific science..lol ;)
I went to a meeting of the walnut council in Kansas a few years ago. We had a field trip to a pecan grove and it happened to be 107 degrees that day. When it came time to introduce ourselves, I told my name and that I was from Alabama and I had come up to Kansas to enjoy their nice cool weather. It got a good laugh.
90 degrees is nothing for peppers or tomatoes IF they have plenty of water. 100 degrees is manageable, just give them plenty of water and make sure the sides of any black containers are covered. Otherwise, the roots may overheat from solar absorption by the black plastic.
Just last week our town was flooded, once it had started to rain....it wouldn't stop! Now the last week we haven't had any rain, looks like we will be back to watering again!
That sucks that you guys are that dry. My mom and sister were hurting quite a bit for rain, they are the same distance north, but further east. It is amazing what 1 1/2 hours drive in a direction can do.
Hope you guys get some rain, it is never good to be that dry. I work in Oneida County, on their lakes, and we are finally seeing some increase in lake levels:) Hope all the your peppers do well, sorry about the bells....they are difficult those little buggers.
Thanks naturemitch. My peppers seem to be happy with the weather as long as I water them. But my yard is well, fried. Oh well, I can't eat the grass anyway.
Even as far south as Neillsville (Marshfield) they have had 9" of rain in the last few weeks. Roads washed out and everything. But yes, 80 or 90 miles is night and day.
Rhinelander areas is awful nice in the summer time.
Good thread! I was worried about mine since we have been breaking all time records with 105*+ the last few days. Luckily today it is only supposed to get up to 104* :)
They do better if i water them in the morning rather than wait until after work though.
if your not into shade. some things that work for me is planting peppers closer were the leaves are touching. the taller the plants get they will act as a shade for the blooms at the bottom of the bush and lower the temps. people may think i plant too close but i get better success by growing closer before summer kicks in.less sunscald. i have only had aphids on my bell peppers knock on wood. i did try the shade cloth this year on some of my pepper plants. but the shade cloth caused me to get a case of powdery mildew.

An improved video tape cartridge having a housing formed in two sections that are pinned together at two hinged knuckle joints by means of removable hinge pins. Each knuckle joint is defined by knuckle members formed on each housing section. Each hinge pin is shaped with a long bent end portion that is directed through one of the knuckle members to be journaled in an aperture in the other of the knuckle members, and an opposite end portion that is held in place by a rib near such other knuckle member.
1. A video tape cartridge that includes a housing for a pair of spaced apart reels in a parallel relationship to one another, which housing is formed of a first housing section and a second housing section that are connected together by at least one knuckle joint comprising:
a male knuckle member that has an open center and protrudes from the sidewall of one of said housing sections;
a channel shaped female knuckle member formed in a sidewall of the other of said housing sections to receive said male knuckle member, said female knuckle member having two sidewalls that each include an aperture therethrough;
an abutment spaced apart from said female knuckle member in a position adjacent one of its sidewalls with at least a portion of said abutment offset from the apertures in the sidewalls of said female knuckle member;
a hinge pin having one terminal end portion extending through the open center of said male knuckle member and journaled in the apertures of said female knuckle member and an opposite terminal end portion lodged against the offset portion of said abutment in such fashion that said pin is maintained under tension in a partially bent condition to securely hold said pin in position connecting said knuckle members together.
2. A tape cartridge as recited in claim 1 wherein said opposite terminal end portion is bent and hooked about said abutment.
3. A tape cartridge as recited in claim 1 wherein the apertures of said female knuckle member sidewalls include a V-shaped notch in each sidewall and a port at the base of one of said notches, and said one terminal end portion of said hinge pin extends through said port.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to video tape cartridges, and more specifically to such cartridges having housings formed in two hinged sections.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known in the art to provide video tape cartridges having housings formed from two hinged sections as described in U.S. Patent to Dolby, No. 3,756,329. The Dolby patent discloses the connection of the two hinged sections together by a U-shaped clip that coacts with knuckle portions formed on the housing sections. The U-shaped clip is bent at its end to form hooks that fit about shoulders by one of the knuckle portions to maintain the clip in proper position. Although the Dolby clip apparently is satisfactory in holding the housing together in this fashion, it is relatively difficult to install and makes assembly and disassembly awkward and highly inconvenient. Accordingly, a need exists for a tape cartridge housing that can be easily and readily assembled.
The present invention provides a video tape cartridge for housing a pair of tape reels and is formed of two housing sections connected together by at least one knuckle joint that includes an open center male knuckle member protruding from a sidewall of one of said housing sections, a channel shaped female knuckle member formed in the other of said housing section, an abutment rib disposed near one side of said female knuckle member and a resilient hinge pin that connects said knuckle members together. Two sidewalls define the channel shape of the female knuckle member and are each formed with an aperture therethrough. The hinge pin includes a long bent end portion journaled in the apertures of said female knuckle member and the open center of said male knuckle member, and an opposite end portion that is lodged against the abutment rib and is maintained under tension in a partially bent condition to securely hold the pin in a hinge connecting position in the cartridge.
In a preferred embodiment, two knuckle joints are employed and the opposite ends of each of the hinge pins have short bent end portions that are parallel to the long bent end portions but are bent in the opposite direction. Such short bent end portions of the pins are adapted to hook around the end of the abutment ribs to aid in insuring that the pins will be semi-permanently held in the cartridge.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a cartridge of the present invention with the two sections of the cartridge housing separated from one another and with only one of two reels of the cartridge shown;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of one of the knuckle joints that hold the two sections of the cartridge housing together, which knuckle joint is formed from male and female knuckle members, an abutment rib and a hinge pin that is shown secured in its normal position in the housing; and
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of the knuckle joint of FIG. 2, but with the lower end portion of the hinge pin dislodged from a secured position.
Referring now to the drawings and with reference first to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of an improved video tape cartridge 10 of the present invention is shown. The cartridge 10 includes a plastic molded housing that is adapted to store two tape reels 12 (only one of which is shown for purposes of clarity) in a side-by-side, parallel relationship. The housing is formed from substantially two equally sized rectangularly shaped sections 13 and 14 that are hingedly connected together. The cartridge 10 resembles the cartridge described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,329, issued Sept. 4, 1973, incorporated herein by reference. The major difference between the cartridge of the present invention and that described in the aforementioned patent is the manner in which the two housing sections 13 and 14 are hinged together, and such difference will become more apparent from the following description.
The housing sections 13 and 14 each respectively include a back wall 17 and a back wall 18. The back wall 17 of the section 13 has two female knuckle members 19, and the back wall 18 of the section 14 has two male knuckle members 20, which knuckle members are held together by resilient hinge pins 21 to form knuckle joints. Each male knuckle member 20 is in the form of a U-shaped lobe having an open center 22 and each is positioned at the edge of the back wall 18 to protrude therefrom. Each female knuckle member 19 is formed in the shape of an outwardly facing channel for receiving a corresponding knuckle member 20. Sidewalls 23 and 24 define the members 20 and have V-shaped notches 25 in which the hinge pins 21 are adapted to be positioned. Although the V-shape of the notches 25 is preferable, such shape is not essential to the present invention and other types of apertures having different notch shapes or in the form of holes may be employed in substitution. As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a port 26 is also formed in the sidewall 23 at the base of the notch 25 therein for a purpose to be described below.
The hinge pins 21, as shown in FIG. 3, normally have a straight body portion 27 and end portions that are bent in opposite directions to form a long bent end portion 28 and a short bent end portion 29. Only the long bent end portions 28 serve to pivotally fasten the two knuckle members 19 and 20 together. The remainder of each pin 21 is employed to semi-permanently secure the pins 21 in proper position in the cartridge 10. Such securement is accomplished by the use of two ribs 30 that are equally spaced from the midpoint of the housing back wall 17 to lie near one side of and spaced apart from each of the knuckle members 19. The ribs 30 serve as abutment means against which the short bent end portions 29 of the pins 21 are lodged and hooked around, as shown in FIG. 2.
To insert one of the pins 21 into the cartridge 10, first the two housing sections 13 and 14 are brought adjacent to one another, with the knuckle members 20 positioned into the knuckle members 19. Then the long bent end portion 28 of one of the pins 21 is directed through the V-shaped notch 25 in the sidewall 24 of one of the knuckle members 19 and through the center 22 of the corresponding member 20 to extend into the V-shaped notch in the corresponding sidewall 23 and the port 26 formed therein. Such insertion places the pin 21 in the position shown in FIG. 3. Next, the short bent end portion 29 of the inserted pin 21 is lodged against the adjacent rib 30 by exerting sufficient pressure on the lower bent end portion 29 of the inserted pin 21 to bend its body portion 27 toward the adjacent knuckle member 19 until the bent end portion 29 hooks around the lower end of the adjacent rib 30.
Once the short bent end 29 is lodged against the end of the rib 30 in the above fashion, bending pressure on the pin 21 may be released and the resiliency of the pin 21 causes the pin to attempt to return to its normal shape. However, the rib 30 on which the pin 21 is lodged prevents the pin 21 from fully returning to its normal shape to thereby maintain the pin under tension in a partially bent condition. Both of the pins 21 may be readily positioned into place in this manner and once in place they are semi-permanently held therein to form reliable solid connections between the two housing sections 13 and 14. Furthermore, such connections between the two housing sections 13 and 14 have the capability of flexing while maintaining a close fit of the housing sections along the hinged edge.
Although the pins 21 have been shown and described as having a short bent end portion 29, such shape is not essential to the present invention. Instead, the pins 21 may terminate in a straight end that is lodged against the ribs 30. However, the use of bent end portions 29 that hook around the ribs 30 is highly preferable, as the bent end portions 29 insure that the pins 21 will not unintentionally become dislodged from the ribs 30.

Private Room (Geffen)
Anyhow, Philadelphia's Musiq and Cleveland's Avant plow the middle ground between these two sensibilities: Each carries around a bag of exhausted romantic platitudes big enough to hide Ruben Studdard inside, but each knows that vibe alone is not enough to convince Ms. Thing over for a night of whatever. Like R. Kelly, R&B's great schism-straddler (get your mind out of the gutter!), these guys write songs rooted in soul's fake book, get people to produce them with mild modernist panache, then sing them as though listeners can only take so much vocal frippery -- which is true.
Musiq is the "ambitious" one: The grooves on Soulstar, his third album, come with orchestral stabs and hip-hop grime. In "Womanopoly" he uses those elements to enhance a gratifyingly humanist yarn about a lady with bills and a shitty boyfriend and probably a great smile. His superfluous remake of the Rolling Stones' "Miss You" is less inspiring, but the Fender Rhodes truly delivers.
Avant is humbler on Private Room, also his third album; though genial, his yarns forgo Musiq's occasional specificity, and his efficient grooves never say more than he does. Except in "Have Some Fun," an earnest, dizzily key-changing entreaty to get loose for just a minute; the tune's sped-up piano hook and stutter-stepped beat provide a jolt that Avant's neutrality throws into sweet relief.

War Memorial
This isn't a tourist destination as such but it's still a place that one should visit. Dedicated to the solider from Pearl Harbour and onward. This cemetary is tranquile and serene with it fountains, columns of trees and rows after rows of white head stones.
Hike the rain forests overlooking Waikiki
The guide was soliciting his tour, Hawaii Rainforest Foundation, at the top of Diamond Head. The flyer mentioned that it was a 3 hour tour that included transfers to a rain forest where one can view waterfalls and petroglyphs. The flyer also mentions that 'transportation and guided hike are provided complimentary, and that there is no obligation'.
However, at the end of the tour, the guide said that he would need to collect $20 per person. I don't mind paying for a tour, as long as I know that I'm paying in advance.
The tour was about 30 passengers, when really it should be only half that because with so many people on the trail, it becomes difficult to hear the guide's commentary.
If you have a rental car, I recommend getting to the rain forests on your own.Related to:

Fire Alarm & Leaf Mold
GGardens(8)May 4, 2013
My brand new (3 wks old) Fire Alarm seems to be infected with some kind of leaf mold spore -- dark spots appear on the top side of the leaf and green mold spores on the under side, then the leaf dies. Should I remove the plant so that my other huechera don't get infected--any treatment recommended, any hope to save the plant? New leaves are appearing consistently.

Holiday Inn Monterrey Centro
Convenient Downtown Location
Everything in this hotel is a little compact by big U.S. city standards (lobby, rooms, etc). But it is very clean and well maintained.
In the lobby there are two computers with internet access available to use for free.
I was told the hotel is going to be totally overhauled by about the end of 2005. It should be great by then
Unique Quality: This hotel may very well win the prize for cheapest valet parking for a major city hotel- only $2.50 US a day!
There is a pool and tennis/basketball court.
The breakfast buffet is extensive and has many Mexican specialities that you should try.
Directions: About 3 blocks W of Macro Plaza.
Hotel Rio ( A DoubleTree Hotel...
Hotel Rio ( A DoubleTree Hotel ) 241 rooms in two large towers.
With taxes, expect to pay well over $100 per night.
Unique Quality: Large hotel with excellent service. Close to the pedestrian only 'zona rosa' of Monterrey. There is underground, secure parking. The breakfast buffet is really good, but somewhat pricey. Heated pool, sauna, etc.
Directions: Padre Mier & Garibaldi streets ( Center of Monterrey)

I could see the pain in your eyes. I wish I could prove this truth absolute. I want to heal you. It is me. I am sorry. Sister of mercy to free me, trace my past beyond what I see. Your God promised to save me. God forgot. Needle puncturing skin, tell the tales of where I have been. Please love, trace my soul never to let my memory go. Murder in every world, there has got to be someone who understands me. I was looking for myself. Asking everyone except myself the questions which I and only I could answer. Reflections in the skin, release the flowing stream. The agony we call living. The bloodletting I call me. I will never fall down

Grammy-nominated bluegrass singer Rhonda Vincent, who was deemed the "new queen of bluegrass" by The Wall Street Journal in 2000, shared in a recent interview how she stood up to an atheist who made a mockery of her gospel music.
The 52-year-old Vincent sat down for an interview with The Blaze over the weekend and shared a time when she and her band were touring in Canada and her faith and integrity were put to the test by a trying atheist who obnoxiously made a mockery of a gospel song that she was singing, a song that she had held so sacred in her heart.
"The most challenging time that I ever had with my faith, we played up in Canada at a folk festival, I think it was the Calgary Folk Festival or Edmonton Folk Festival. They put us on a stage on a Sunday morning with four other artists and we would alternate. To me, it was a Sunday morning service. I did a gospel song, then the next group did one, and the next group did one." Vincent explained. "Then a guy came up and he was an atheist. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. He started making fun of us." more >>
Just days after Katy Perry's stupendous Super Bowl Halftime show, the singer's guest performer Missy Elliott revealed how the pair organized the acclaimed concert.
Perry, who was raised in a Christian household with minister parents, cited God when approaching Elliott to appear alongside her during the Super Bowl XLIX halftime event. During an interview on "Sway In The Morning" on Friday, Elliott revealed the conversation with the pop star.
"She said she was a fan of mine, and that meant a lot," the 43-year-old hip hop star recalled of Perry. "I thought I was going to come out and do the record we did together, and she said I want you to do your records. I said, 'Wow.' She said 'God got you here for a reason,' and I am getting emotional… I'm humbly grateful. I'm so humbled I can't even tell you, I've cried and cried and cried, tears of joy, but I've cried." more >>
Carrie Underwood's co-writer on the song "Something in the Water" recently opened up about the faith-filled track, including its impact on listeners across the world.
The hit song has proved to be one of Underwood's most successful tracks since "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and is lending a positive message to audiences with its Christian themes of conversion and baptism. "Something in the Water" was written by Underwood and two of Nashville's best songwriters, Chris DeStefano and Brett James, and according to DeStefano, the track has exceeded all expectations.
"It's very humbling to be a part of it," the songwriter told Taste of Country. "One of the things that's been really exciting for me, I know it sounds crazy, is just reading tweets, and seeing how it's affecting people directly. You're able to really see people's emotions as they're writing on Twitter. It's incredible that it's having such a powerful effect on people. As a songwriter, that is all you can hope for, it to affect people and touch people, and make a difference in their lives, in small ways and big ways." more >>
WASHINGTON — A prominent evangelical leader who attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington Thursday believes President Barack Obama's speech championing religious freedom needs to be put into practice by his administration to end religious intolerance in the United States and abroad.
Obama's speech to the crowd of 3,600 that included the Dalai Lama focused on religious freedom and the need to combat evil actions carried out by militants in the name of religion across the world.
Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference who attended the prayer breakfast, told The Christian Post that he respects Obama's spiritual convictions, but nevertheless is a critic of the administration's actions that undermine religious freedom in the U.S. more >>
The presidents from three leading American faith-based universities convened Wednesday to discuss the role of faith-based colleges in an increasingly secular society and agreed that faith-based schools, more so than secular schools, stress the importance of living lives filled with morals, ethics and responsibility to others.
John Garvey of Catholic University of America and Richard Joel of the the New York-based and Jewish Yeshiva University participated in a Wednesday night discussion on the state of higher education and the calling of faith-based universities, which was moderated and hosted by Baylor University President and Chancellor Ken Starr at the National Press Club.
Although all the presidents agreed that that it is imperative for colleges to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in a career, what is equally as important and often overlooked by state and secular schools in today's secular environment, is making sure that students are prepared to make tough moral and ethical choices when they are faced with many of life's tough dilemmas. more >>
Multi-platinum band Third Day debuted the lyric video for the song "Victorious" on Tuesday, just weeks before the release of the group's new album.
"Victorious" is the second track off Third Day's forthcoming album, "Lead Us Back," to be released next month. The new song features acoustic guitar, haunting piano rifts and powerful vocals by the group's Mac Powell. The lead vocalist told The Christian Post that "Victorious" was among his favorite songs due to a personal experience with it.
"There is a song on the album called 'Victorious' - I heard a sermon about God being victorious in battle, whether on the field in the Old Testament times or in ourselves with feelings, emotion, and sin and more of a mental thing," Powell said. "God is victorious and helps us become victorious. So that song for me helps me as a believer, that idea carried on onto that song and on the album, and I love singing it." more >>

Suite setup: Tired of the 50-yard line? If you've got the bucks, here's an alternative for Ravens games
- Jack Lambert
- Digital Producer- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
From the end of summer through the end of the year, every member of the Baltimore Ravens, from linebackers to ticket takers, wants to shine on Sunday afternoons. But game-day success is usually the byproduct of an offseason of hard work, especially when it comes to the sale of luxury suites.
The Ravens have sold out their 125 luxury boxes at M&T Bank Stadium for nine consecutive years, even as the organization has added 15 suites since 2004. The Ravens still average a renewal rate on luxury suites of about 95 percent, one of the top rates in professional football, according to industry experts.
Luxury suites give businesses a chance to network with potential new clients or even reward current employees and associates. The Ravens are undoubtedly the hottest ticket in town, with luxury boxes averaging $140,000 a year. But luxury boxes at Ravens games attract the top clients and can lead to new business, said Jerry Wit, a senior vice president at St. John Properties Inc.
"It's so our tenants and brokers can meet those people and come away from that experience saying … 'I met the following interesting people,'" Wit said.
St. John pays close to $200,000 a year for its third-level suite on the 50-yard line, Wit said. The company picked up the box about four years ago when the previous owner declined to renew its lease.
About four suite holders decline to renew each year, said Theresa Abato, director of corporate sales and suites management for the Ravens. That gives the Ravens a chance to find new suite holders each year, a process the franchise starts in early November.
"We try to renew everything," Abato said. "If we can't, we are always prospecting for new business."
Finding the right companies is important, said Edward A. Burchell, vice president of regional partnerships and sales for the Ravens. Businesses sign a letter of intent with the team and put down a $5,000 refundable deposit when they sign up for a luxury suite. They also must indicate how much the company is willing to spend on a box.
"It's a first-come, first-served kind of thing," Burchell said. "It's not who wines and dines the most."
The Ravens occasionally pair businesses together as suite-holders in order to help companies manage the cost, Burchell said. Teams started doing that with the recession in 2008, said Bill Dorsey, chairman of The Association of Luxury Suite Directors in Cincinnati. When industries like banks and media companies cut back on luxury boxes, it forced teams to get creative with suite sales.
"You want to look at businesses that have relationships with clients and have a lot of intellectual property," Dorsey said.
Sports teams have also better catered to companies' needs for luxury boxes since 2008, Dorsey said. The Ravens allow suite holders to redecorate and customize their boxes to help bring in business.
When St. John Properties took over about four years ago, the Baltimore-based real estate firm put a map of its properties and personalized memorabilia on the walls. The company also replaced the suite's leather chairs and small coffee table with cafe-style tables and high chairs. The changes helped encourage mingling among clients, Wit said.
"They are like in a sports bar atmosphere," Wit said. "It is a business networking party with a football game in the background."
Not all companies, though, use their boxes for networking. Scott Dorsey, CEO of Merritt Properties LLC, said Merritt mostly uses its 48 tickets for its two suites at M&T Bank Stadium to reward current clients.
Tickets to Ravens games are one of the few things companies can agree on when it comes to corporate negotiations, Dorsey said.
"When you invite somebody into a skybox, you want it to be special for them," he said. "The Ravens are an organization that everybody is proud to be their partner."

Gwen's Take
Getting On With It
March 26, 2015
Shortly after Robin's shocking death at age 54, her husband and her alma mater realized that there were journalism prizes that honored investigative reporting, wartime bravado and presidential and congressional coverage – but none that prized the kind of smart political reporting at which Robin excelled. The Robin Toner Prize now fills that void. Happily, this year's recipient was Dan Balz, the chief correspondent for The Washington Post.

My keezer will be in my garage. I live in Alabama, so of course the humidity reaches apocolyptic numbers. The garage wont be as humid as outside, but still higher than Id like.
I plan on staining and polying the outer wood of my keezer...but what about the frame? I have some spar varnish and Im debating on putting this on the frame members to protect it from warping.
Anyone do something similar?
I'd poly it. It's amazing how much moisture will find it's way inside a keezer. Even one that's pretty well sealed. I've spent hours trying to seal mine, but come July/August there's water everywhere.
Another option is to wrap the frame/insulation of the keezer with aluminum flashing and used silicon to seal off any seams. It does a pretty good job of keeping the moisture off of the internal frame.
Im thinking about adding a dehumidifier in there too. That should help a lot, but when the garage door opens, then its right back to 90%.

Got to shop for my favorite toys today!
Happy Mother's Day to all moms out there! I got to go to my local nursery and buy a couple of clematis (among other toys lol).
I bought Jackmani and Comtesse de Bouchard. I planted them both in my whiskey barrel. (Hope they don't mind in the planter lol) The pink and purple will look awesome together! I had to replace my Madame Julia Correvon that didn't make it through winter because I was a lazy buthead and didn't protect it.
I never protect my clems in zone 5. I do sometimes lose some of them, but I'm pretty sure it's from something else, not cold. In fact, I thought I'd killed my Madame from not enough sun last year, but this spring, she popped up again! I love that about clems.
I have a Jackmani that has been in a 1/2 barrel for probably 8 years and does wonderful. I live in middle Tn zone 7 a or b or something like that and mine seen temp's below several time this past winter and today its probably close to 10 feet tall and going strong.
I usually attribute losses to not enough sunlight during the summer. I seem to lose those that are in marginal areas. That being said, last winter was brutal for me - my 10' tall climbing roses are starting over from the ground, and I did lose 2 clems, both of which were pretty new to me, but others are going gangbusters, both new and old. I didn't think it was the cold, but I wonder whether, since yours were in a whiskey barrel, they got much colder than they would have in the ground. Didn't you also have a brutal winter this year?
ophelia, how did you prune out your climbing roses that you lost to the ground? I only ask because I had a Westerland rose that I also lost to ground level this year and wondered how you deal with pruning those? Prune to the ground? I am lucky in that Westerland was an own root rose so should come back after a long season or two.
A general rule of thumb for plants in above-ground containers is that they should be a couple of zones hardier than normal for your zone. Brushwood rates Madame Julia Correvon as zone 3 hardy, but if your winter included the abnormal cold that much of the midwest and Great Lakes states received, she may have gotten too cold for an unprotected pot.
Comtesse de Bouchard and Jackmanii are only zone 4 hardy so they may need more protection in your whiskey barrel than Madame Julia did.
I haven't pruned my climbing roses yet because I can't bear to think that they really are dead down to the ground. I keep looking for some sign of growth higher up, but there's nothing. Pretty soon, I'll have to, as they say, "put on my big girl panties" and go out there and start chopping. Denial is a powerful thing. I also have a beautiful, 6' tall Ispahan rose that seems to be coming back about 12" high. It's a once-bloomer that I'm pretty sure won't bloom this year at all. I find it painful to contemplate how many years it may take before these roses are back to their former glory. I'm hoping that with good root systems they'll take less time regaining their height than they took to make it in the first place.
