Not As Pictured
I did not see from the picture that there is a prominent, large, floral print in the quilt, which seemed to give it a more dated style. Even though it is a great price, I disliked it so much that I immediately returned it.Read More
Love the vintage look of this quilt. Great colorsRead More
Great Buy
Great buy. Better than what I could find in local stores for the price.Read More
Beautiful Bedding
This is an absolutely lovely bedding set. The colors are rich and vibrant with the blues ranging from navy to periwinkle. There's olive and dark and light sage colors. One square even has a turquoise and brown stripe. It washes very nicely and looks spectacular with the periwinkle color I use on my bedroom walls. This is my first Overstock purchase but will not be my last.Read More
This quilt is brilliant in colors. Very pretty.
After reading some of the reviews on this I wasn't quite sure if I would be satisfied but I chanced it and it is just lovely. Won't be sending this back. Matter of fact, I have ordered over 4 bedding items from you and haven't any complaints on them whatsoever. Excellent qualtiy!!! Thank-you.Read More
So Pretty
This really brightens my guest room. It has many colors, including yellow, navy and green. My room has yellow walls and navy carpet. It is nicely made. For the price, you can't beat it. Another great Overstock.com purchase.Read More
love this set
This set is just what I was looking for- all cotton, not a fluffy quilt, nice colors and good for the summer months. It looks good with my white European shams and light turquoise curtains. The back is a plain brown/white/blue stripe, not as pretty as the front but you don't see it. It is comfy and a definite keeper! This was my first purchase on O and I am pleased with the quality for a good price.Read More
Nice but not high quality
The Quilt if pretty and I like the weight but it started falling apart after only a few washes. It also needed a few washes with a lot of fabric softener before it was soft enough to really use. Wouldn't make this purchase twice.Read More

Quilts Buying Guide
Whether a quilt is spread over your bed, folded at the end of your bed, hanging over a quilt rack or just stacked in your armoire with other quilts and blankets, it is a piece of bedding to be used and treasured. Quilts offer luxurious comfort for sleeping, add visual warmth to a room, have a timeless appeal and charm and sometimes lend a vintage, historical feeling to your home and bedding. This quilt buying guide has been created to help you make informed choices as you shop for that special quilt for your home.
How to Display a Quilt
Quilts are more than just bedding: They're also gorgeous pieces of art that can be used to decorate your home. A quilt makes a space seem warm and homey, and it's not hard to learn how to display quilts. By following these steps, you'll be showing off your quilts in no time.
Popular Types of Quilts
Out of all the bedding made, quilts may be the most diverse. Quilts are produced in all kinds of colors, patterns, sizes, styles and types. If you're looking for a quilt but don't know where to start, take a look at the popular types of quilts below to learn more about this beautiful kind of bedding. Amish quilts: These beautiful quilts reflect the Amish way of living and feature solid colors, deep hues, geometric patterns and very little embellishment. Amish quilts contain the highest quality of construction and stitching, and, sometimes, the wonderful stitch patterns (scrolls, feathers) contrast with the simple backgrounds of their quilts. Applique quilts: These quilts use a French needlework technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto another piece of material to create a design. Applique is used extensively in the quilting process and is not to be confused with patchwork. Patchwork pieces are joined together; applique is sewn on top of the whole piece. Baltimore album quilts: Baltimore album quilts came from Maryland in the early 1800s. Each block in the design of these quilts is appliqued differently, often in ornate floral patterns. Bangladeshi quilts: These quilts are made with layers of Saree cloth. Saree cloth is silk cloth used by women of India to wrap and fold around the body as a garment. The cloth is usually 40 to 60 inches wide by 6 yards long. These quilts are used as bedding or as decorative pieces. Bargello quilts: Bargello quilts are created with offset squares in an up-and-down geometric "V" pattern. The small squares of different fabrics and the colorful designs make these quilts true works of art. Hawaiian quilts: Hawaiian quilts are not pieced, and they usually showcase a large, symmetrical applique in the center of the quilt. Most often the background is white or another solid color. Patchwork quilts: Patchwork quilts are constructed of many small pieces of fabric which are put together in an improvised or irregular pattern. This is a well-known quilt style, and examples of historical patchwork quilts are found in many museums. Ralli quilts: Ralli quilts, sometimes known as rilli quilts, are traditional quilts made in India or Pakistan. There is an abundance of embroidery as well as applique on the patchwork patterns. Star quilts: Star quilts are created with a large star shape, or several star shapes, dominating the pattern. Wedding ring quilts: Wedding ring quilts are crafted in a design of interlocking rings. This pattern goes far back in history: in the fourth century it was used to decorate drinking cups in Rome. Wedding ring quilts are highly popular and make wonderful wedding gifts. If you're looking for a gift to please an engaged couple, you can't go wrong with a wedding quilt. Bedding always makes a significant gift for the bride and groom, and a quilt with coordinating Egyptian cotton sheets can be even better. View All Quilts Back to Guides Directory View All Quilts

Best Wall Ideas for Baby's Room
With the arrival of your new baby drawing closer, you'll want to do everything you can to prepare, including furnishing and decorating the baby nursery. A baby nursery that is filled with all the right touches will give your infant a bright and beautiful place to start life. The wall decor can set the mood for the entire room, so start with art and decorations that are fun, interesting, unique and special. Wall art appliques. Removable wall decor appliques and decals offer some of the best ideas for a baby's room. Printed plastic and vinyl wall decals come in a variety of colors and designs. Opt for a themed collection of wall art images and create your own mural, which you can easily rearrange or remove as your child grows and you want to change the room. There are also decals that display words or phrases, such as well-known lines from nursery rhymes, prayers or beloved children's books. These look especially precious when posted on the wall above a baby's crib or cradle and can set the theme for the whole room. Framed art. As in any room, framed art can be the best way to add interest and beauty to nursery walls. Art is always personal, so choose a piece or grouping that speaks to you and your family. A lovely print of a mother and child or a toddler with a stuffed toy might move you, or you may prefer something whimsical and bright. If you have not yet settled on a theme or color for your baby's room, the perfect piece of framed art could be your best inspiration. Quilts. You have probably contemplated in great detail, if not already selected, the bedding for your baby's room. What you might not have considered is using a pretty quilt to decorate the wall. Quilts make lovely wall hangings and, with elaborate patterns and multicolor pieces, they let you tie together several colors in the room. Find a large quilt that harmonizes with your nursery decor or arrange several smaller ones in a delightful wall grouping. Letters. It has long been popular to decorate a nursery with letters. Spell out your little one's name with lovely, polished silver letters hanging from ribbons above the crib or use bright, colorful letters to showcase the alphabet or your little one's initials. You can add letters to your child's nursery in a variety of ways, from hand-painting them right onto the wall to utilizing lovely lettered wallpaper.

Green Hammer expands to Ashland
- Christina Williams
- Sustainable Business Oregon editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Portland green building specialist Green Hammer is marking its first decade in business and expanding its Oregon footprint by opening an office in Ashland.
The office, which has two full-time employees now, will support the company's activities in the Rogue Valley, which will include consulting, design-build projects and other activities.
"It started out as a remote project in the area," said Stephen Aiguier, Green Hammer's founder and president.
Green Hammer is working on a residential home outside Ashland that was built using 100 percent Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood and will go for LEED Platinum certification. The home is also constructed with an eye toward Passive certification, but it falls short of the stringent standard.
"When we started working on it, we thought 'Maybe we won't find the right contractors,'" Aiguier said. "It was quite the opposite. There was a wealth of talented craftspeople."
He said Green Hammer is expanding to Ashland in an effort to help build the market for highly efficient green buildings in the region.
"There's a real opportunity there to work with the commercial and residential sector there to bring some of the local talent together," Aiguier said.
Formed 10 years ago as a one-man business, Green Hammer has grown to about 30 employees and expected revenues of $8 million in 2013.
The company specializes in ultra-green building projects including the growing Passive House standard and building with locally sourced sustainable wood.

Provo KOA (Closed)
Provo, Utah
Recent Rate: $37 10/2012

Longitude: -111.694651186508
These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: October, 2012 - $37.00
This is an older park but in a nice setting with trees, adjacent to a small stream, and next to a big playing field. After-hours check-in went smoothly. Bathroom was old with plywood walls but was clean and roomy. A few TV channels available by antenna. Several free Wi-Fi connections available but it was somewhat difficult to connect to. Park was too small for good dog walk so we used the adjacent playing field. Swimming pool was being worked on. All in all, a pleasant little oasis in an urban mess so I would stay again if in the area. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2012 - $31.00
Every conceivable construction was underway on I-15 and surrounding areas, and we still made it to the RV park okay with the directions provided. Check in was easy and the staff attempted everything to get me an additional night. Sites are pea gravel and sand and are quite level. Bathrooms and showers were clean and will be newly constructed next year. I recommend going to Bridal Falls and Timpanogos National Monument (Caves). Both are a short drive (20-30 min) from the park. I would stay here again: after construction ceases. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2012 - $32.00
We enjoyed our stay here. The present owners have owned the park about a year. They are making some major improvements. Rebuilding the "satellite " restroom and shower, re-doing the pool and many other things. This is an older park so some of the roads are tight. Our spot was perfectly level. Gravel sites, paved roads. Showers old but very clean. More than helpful at the front desk. The river is "right there", but it is only about six or seven feet across as they take most of the water to northern Utah and Southern Salt Lake Counties for their use. It is nice little park and it is getting better. We were here for three nights and would have readily stayed longer, but we had to get moving. We would definitely stay here again. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2012 - $35.00
Under new management, they are working to fix some broken/closed functions (laundry, pool, toilets in back section, etc.). There was no price break on the rate while work goes on. This is a plain KOA with lots of trees and narrow un-level sites. No picnic tables that we could see in our section. Since our site was very narrow I don't know where they would put one anyway. During the week, the office is open 8-10am and 5-7pm so plan arrivals accordingly. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: December, 2011 - $30.00
Great overnight KOA. Easy on, easy off (construction no longer a problem). Very friendly owners/managers. Long level (60+ ft) pull-thru site with all the hook-ups. Wi-fi worked well. Would definitely stay here again when passing thru. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2011 - $32.00
This is really a nice little campground, and I emphasize little. Even though there was a large diesel pusher parked near us I would not want to get a large rig through there. We only have a 25 ft fiver. A tree blocked us from opening the awning and sites are pretty close together. About 10 or 15 permanent residents, but, they were quiet and nice. River was very pleasant. Convenient for travel through the area. The lady at the desk was very nice and store had necessities. We will stay there again. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2011 - $33.00
The only good thing about this park is the enthusiasm & politeness of the new owners and employees, but they have a seemingly impossible task on their hands to get this park in shape. The sights are so narrow there's barely enough room to walk between rigs with the slideouts out. Even low conversations can be heard from your neighbors. Some freeway/train noise. WiFi is nearly non-existent. No cable, but we were able to pick up a few channels with the antenna. It is close to a paved bike/walk/jog path, and a beautiful park--when no one's there, we let the dog run free. Lot's of "cotton" from the cottonwood trees, so take your allergy pills. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2011 - $35.00
Didn't like this campground. Some full time residents, can hear the trains and freeway. Kind of run down. If you have a big rig, the sites are real close together. Under new management and they say they have a lot of new upgrades coming. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2011 - $30.00
This campground accepted our request for a 3-night stay after we had been evicted from a different park. The KOA graciously took us in and gave us a dry, clean site with all the needed facilities we requested. The park manager personally directed us to their last available site and made certain we were comfortable. We recommend this site to anyone who needs a hospitable, welcoming park. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2011 - $33.00
We stayed here on our first trip out with our travel trailer. First problem was that the sites are VERY small. You can whisper and your neighbor will hear you. There is no room to put your awning out. There are also an abundance of ducks. The camp store is only open limited hours and has very limited supplies. There are no fire pits. The pool is located in the "attached" trailer park and looked pretty nasty. There is a walking trail that has an entrance from the park but this also means the park isn't completely secure from passerby's. The back half of the small park is permanent residents and is a little scary. This is by far the worst KOA we have ever stayed at. The only reason I rated it a 2 was because I heard it just got new owners and I feel it has the potential to improve. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2010 - $33.00
This was our first KOA experience, and we weren't impressed. Not a good value for the money. We got in after hours and selected one of the "Pull-thru" sites. Access to the site was by a very narrow gravel road occupied by a lot of sleeping ducks. We had to get out and chase them away. When we got to the site, we weren't able to pull in due to low overhanging tree limbs. We went around the loop and ended up backing in. Barely enough room for the 5er and our truck. Probably wouldn't stay here again. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2010 - $29.00
We camped here as a quick overnight stopover. The campground is like no other KOA we've been to (no warm welcome or help with checking in, no activities or pool within view, LOTS of ducks hanging out near the office, kind of a dark 'foreboding' atmosphere). The owners were not present when we arrived at 6:00 pm, and the office is only open a couple of hours in the morning, and again in the afternoon. We 'guestimated' the cost and left a check in the self-registration slot in the office door. A campground resident was kind enough to drive my husband around the grounds to find a spot. Although relatively clean and comfortable, it definitely had the feel of a park for mostly permanent residents. We did feel safe. We did not hear any planes or trains and, this time of year, we were pretty bug-free. We do not plan to camp here again. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2010 - $30.00
I'd say the other reviews are pretty spot on accurate. Very bad fly and mosquito problem as well. Near airport so you will hear the planes spooling up for take-off. Tall trees, forget your satellite dish from working. Seems this park caters mostly to monthly rate residents. Kind of bizarre grounds and employees, but OK for a layover pull-through 50 AMP spot if you're in route someplace.

Date of Stay: August, 2010 - $43.00
It is a nice campsite with good hookups which serves as a mid-way point on a trip to Yellowstone. The campground was packed fairly full and the tent campers next to the RVs tend to get up early. The management left instructions taped to the door for a 8:45pm arrival. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Motorhome.Undo

The park is part of a permanent mobile home park. The pool and laundry facilities are shared with the mobile home park. At least 10 of the sites have permanent residents that have converted their trailers into mobile homes. The attendants did not escort or help you park in the extremely tight spots. The attendants never left the office unless they were out to smoke. One attendant had his KOA shirt unbuttoned to his navel with his chest exposed. It was definitely not like any other KOA I have experienced. We camped at Provo KOA (Closed) in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Speed up Afghan withdrawal
Well, that sounds like good news!
President Barack Obama and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan agreed after talks at the White House on Friday to slightly speed up the process that calls for American and other NATO forces to leave that war-torn country by late 2014.
Here is a link that might be useful: source
I'd love to see every NATO troop pulled out of that country NOW. They don't want us, and with that in mind, there's no reason for us to be there. That includes once we leave and the Taliban takes the country back over. I don't want to hear it when they ask for help. No Hablo.
Too late for those who lost everything in Afghanistan, but never too late to prevent more deaths, dismantled families, and a country (USA) on the brink of economic ruin.
The men and women sacrificed their all for?_______________________________________________ (fill in the blank)
That's what makes me sick, Brush.
I know a wonderful man that was there for several tours.
Those experiences contributed to his recent divorce and many problems.
And for what?
You'd think we would have learned with Vietnam.
If you're going to get in, know why, how committed you are, and when to get out.
The money is one thing, but the lives lost and ignored, is inexcusable.
ha bboy, I got it, ba-da-ch!
It's not really a funny subject, but what you said was.
The unfortunate thing is that the people who should have been listened to before we went in were ignored. There shouldn't be any regretting leaving, we should be regretting having gone in at all. Just like Vietnam.
Horsehockey. We never should've gone into Iraq, and diverted forces from Afghanistan, weakening our position there. We had every right to go into Afghanistan, and I STILL think we did the right thing to go in. But our mission there was completed with the dismantling of Al Queda, and it's time to go. Let those morons kill their own.
We had every right to go into Afghanistan, and I STILL think we did the right thing to go in. But our mission there was completed with the dismantling of Al Queda, and it's time to go. Let those morons kill their own.
My sentiments exactly, Bill.
Oh stop bill, you make me all hot when you get vehement like that.
But seriously, you and I are talking across each other. I am not talking about rights ... yes, we were sold on the idea that we could get OBL and Al Quaeda if we invaded Afghanistan, and so there was justice in our wanting to go after those who had attacked us, yes, we had "the right".
But it turns out, the people who said we should have been focusing moreover on Pakistan were the ones who were "right".
Look, this isn't "I told anyone so," I didn't. I thought Afghanistan was the place to be to get the effers too. But people who knew better were telling me "Pakistan" way back right after 9/11. I'd offer you proof, but I'm not sure how you can pull up old AOL message boards lol. I can admit when I am wrong, and evidently I was.
Fill me in, were we asked to invade Afghanistan? I don't remember.
If not, there goes "every right".
Suppose Afghanistan invaded Maine, thinking it had every right to do so. That'd be okay, because it was thought to be righteous by the invaders?
The Arabs that flew into the Manhattan towers had a god on their side.
Sickens me to hear Americans denigrate the people of countries they have spent ten years reducing to rubble to bring them the kind of 'democracy' that they are so scared of in their own country that they have to have guns under their beds . . .
To the Macedonians it was a defeat. To the British it was a defeat (twice). To the Russians it was a defeat. To the Americans it is 'Don't ask us us for any more help, morons.'
It's called 'cut and run'. Just another loss to another Third World, self-created enemy.
Fill me in, were we asked to invade Afghanistan? I don't remember.
Yes, we were. The president made an international statement that Al Queda was our enemy, and that we would hunt down those responsible for 9/11, and those who would harbor said criminals would also be considered as enemy combatants and treated as such. So yes, they DID invite us.
Suppose Afghanistan invaded Maine, thinking it had every right to do so. That'd be okay, because it was thought to be righteous by the invaders?
They say that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. From my point of view, they'd be mistaken.
But it turns out, the people who said we should have been focusing moreover on Pakistan were the ones who were "right".
We should've gone into Pakistan, TOO.
We should've gone into Pakistan, TOO.
No one in their right mind was suggesting that.
Pakistan, in its concern regarding all threats (real and imagined) from India, is sympathetic to the Taliban in that it is a counter-weight to India's influence in Afghanistan. There were, and still are, calls for a negotiated settlement of the disputes in Kashmir -- on Pakistan's eastern border with India. Certain Taliban groups are tolerated by Pakistan because they are operating in Kashmir against Indian influence. With a settlement of autonomy and other demands, destabilization lessens on Pakistan's eastern borders and tensions eased with its arch-enemy India.
That still leaves Pakistan with the problem of the Baloch secessionists.
"we should have gone into Pakistan TOO"
"Sickens me to hear Americans denigrate the people of countries they have spent ten years reducing to rubble to bring them the kind of 'democracy' that they are so scared of in their own country that they have to have guns under their beds . . ."
Can be confusing can't it Jon :)
From the beginning, my contention was that our real enemies were the Saudi Arabians (Wahhabism) and Pakistanis (supporting the Taliban). I supported the invasion of Afghanistan to destroy the al Qaeda movement and drive out the Taliban. I did not support the installation of such a corrupt system of cronyism and warlordism. We were too busy invading Iraq to pay attention and so have been propping up drug lords and other corrupt clans and critters.
I am embarrassed for my country.
"we should have gone into Pakistan TOO"
Bill, where have you been? We've been waging war in Pakistan for almost 4 years!
June 2012.
"We are fighting a war in the FATA, we are fighting a war against terrorism," said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Wednesday, referring to the tribal areas of Pakistan that the U.S. has spent three years bombing heavily. Was that so hard to admit?
For years, it has been. Neither the Bush nor Obama administration has been forthright about the starkest fact of the recent war on terrorism: most of it takes place in western Pakistan. As CIA director and now Pentagon chief, Panetta has been one of the key architects of the accelerated drone-and-commando war the U.S. wages there in what amounts to an open secret. In 2009, the critical year in that acceleration, Danger Room boss Noah Shachtman started pressing the Obama administration for disclosure about a war the U.S. waged in all but name.
Why didn't you know much about it, Bill? Here's the answer.
Second, itâÂÂs politically perilous to ask a war-weary public to get used to fighting whatâÂÂs effectively a third war in a decade, even if this one relies far more on remote controlled robots than ground troops. ThatâÂÂs suited the Pakistani government: itâÂÂs given the U.S. tacit support for the drone strikes and enough cynical public denunciation of them to ward off popular upheaval. ItâÂÂs unknown how many civilians die in the drone strikes, but itâÂÂs undeniable �" except, sometimes, by the White House �" that some do.
Who is going to view the movie Zero Dark Thirty? Why? Do you need to feel it? Be a part of the killing action? Does it make you "proud"?
The War on Terror. The lie that keeps on going, and going, and going.

Starting Bare Root Trees in containers
oh no! I came across this site and the 'gritty mix' discussions yesterday, AFTER potting Fuyu persimmon, Blenheim apricot, and sugar plum (prune), in 24" containers with peat based bagged soil, plus perlite, plus 3yo horse manure (I was running out of mix). Do I need to pull them all out and redo? They are still quite dormant...help please!
MadameMeow, the content of horse manure might be a problem on two counts.
- If it is not completely decomposed. A practical test is that if you can identify individual contents (bedding material, hay etc), then the mixture might be too "hot".
- How much of it is in the mix. Not more than 10% of well decomposed organic matter would be my recommendation.
My novice advice would be to first see if you can locate and easily purchase the ingredients for the gritty mix. Some people have difficulty finding them. If I could not locate and prepare the gritty mix anytime soon then I would go for the 5:1:1 mix which would still be better than peat based potting soil as far as aeration and drainage. The ingredients for the 5:1:1 are easier to get your hands on IMO so I would mix up a batch and gently replant. Since your plants are dormant I don't think this would be too stressful to them. That's just what I would do, hopefully some of the experts will chime in.
Thanks for your responses! I spent yesterday searching for the bark and rock. I found 2cu ft bagged bark, with a lot of fibrous stuff in at Home depot for $4.37, and, at OSH 8quart bag of pumice for $8 (yeow! no sale there!. The stone yard wanted $8/cu ft for any of the small lava rock, and for the small bark. Today, I'm going to the horse supply store to see a product called "Dry Stall" reported to be a volcanic expanded rock, at $11/40# bag (I have no idea the volume or texture)...cross fingers. And Monday, Horizon landscaping will be open, but I don't think they sell anything retail...
BTW- the horse manure/bedding is completely composted, you would never know what is was- it is 3 years old, my veg plants liked it last fall, and I needed something to cover the bare roots...
used to be gardening was cost effective- if you enjoyed the work, but it's clearly become an expensive hobby...
Gritty Mix will work well, but it'll be real heavy in that sized container.
I think you'd be well-served to mix up some 5-1-1 for these fruit trees.
I've done the very same thing, and I'll be doing so again for a peach I just purchased.
Here's the last peach that I potted for a season in 5-1-1, then planted in-ground.
Now it's in the ground. The new peach will go into this container.
WOW, Josh! Now, that's an inspiring pic! Not sure where you're located, but here in the castro valley, CA hills, it's something of a desert climate in summer- very little humidity, so I won't get my hopes up too much... haha! thanks for sharing,
I'll echo what greenman said about the weight of Al's gritty mix. It's HEAVY. I have two naval orange trees potted in gritty mix in 16" terra cotta pots, and moving them is extremely difficult. For that reason (and because, as you discovered, gritty mix can be quite expensive by comparison), I now use Al's 5-1-1 mix for all of my other potted fruits (blueberries, figs, pomegranates, apples, and pears). Of course, the 5-1-1 mix isn't all that light either, especially when it's wet. Because I have a lot of potted fruits and move them at least twice each year, I'm in the process of moving everything to 10-gallon fabric pots with handles.
OMG! ready to keel over now, I bought materials and mixed and replanted today. I was a bit confused, tho, when reading the recipes...the '5-1-1' read as 2-3 ft cubed of bark, 5 gallon peat, 5 gallon perlite. Actually that's more of a 3-1-1, since 2.5 feet cubed= 16 dry US gallons. Anyways, not to get hung up...for EACH tree I mixed (lord help me) 2.5 ft^3 bark from HD, 2.5 gallons peat based potting mix (as 'peat'), 2.5 gallon Turface MVP, and 5 gallon Dry Stall (a crushed pumice made for keeping horse stalls dry- NOT to be confused with 'stall-dry'), plus prilled dolomite lime and lilly miller 10-10-10 granular fertilizer. I sincerely hope my poor little trees will survive it- they're sleeping, so I think it's ok. BTW- the potting soil I had used on them (and turned out today onto a big tarp) was quite soggy- so I'm sure this new mix will warm up well at least...fingers crossed and back tired...

Created: 04/27/2014 10:36 PM
By: Jen Samp, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Family members and friends of a 19-year old woman killed last week by APD continue to visit the site where she died, but the city says that site has gone from a memorial to vandalized public property.
Amanda and her two friends say they see themselves as artists not vandals. Sunday, they visited the sight of their ex-roommate Mary Hawkes to add to her memorial.
"I try not to cry about it because I know that she is gone," Amanda said.
Amanda held back tears as she spray-paints over bullet holes on the wall.
"I see it as art and I see it as representing who we miss and who was always there for us no matter what," she said.
The city officials say they have been to this site before to paint over obscenities that were reported, but they are showing respect for the memorial by not painting over it.
"We try to respect memorial sites as much as possible. We understand that they are meaningful to the people who create them. But we respond to request from the public, when it impacts property our policy is to remediate within 24 hours," Jill Holbert Acting Director Solid Waste Management Department said in a statement.
"It's positive. We are not trying to hide what we are writing on the wall, we are here in the daylight-cars people are passing," Amanda said.
They say Hawkes was a graffiti artist herself and don't care if it's breaking the law.
"She did her art, she had a voice," she said. "They (police) hit up public property too as you can see the bullets, they didn't care why should we?"
They hope the art stays to help them heal.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 reached out to the owners of the wall - they also own the mobile home park on the other side of it - but they did not want to comment.
The city says they are walking a fine line. They will paint over any obscenities that they are called out there for.

The Kindle Fire devices are winning the Android tablet game, at least in the U.S. According to a study, Google Nexus 7 does not even come close to Kindle Fire as the most dominant Android tablet in the country.
Kindle Fire Beats Nexus 7 -- Amazon Tablet Winning the Small Android Tablet Game? (Image: Google)
Localytics used app installations to estimate market shares, collecting insights from 500 million unique devices.
"A full 59% of all Android tablets seen by apps with Localytics integrated are based in the US, and over half of those are Kindle Fires or Kindle Fire HDs," says the Localytics report.
The research also noted, "89% of Amazon's family of tablets live in America, with most of the rest in Great Britain. After those two, no other country has even one percent of worldwide Kindle Fires."
The Kindle Fire devices covered in the study are understood to be the Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
The Nexus 7 and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD are not very different in terms of price and specs. Both devices display a resolution of 1280×800 pixels (216 pixels per inch). Both also start at $199 price tag. But the small Kindle Fire HD is a bit heavier than Nexus 7 at 395 g vs 340 g.
The Nexus 7 has 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 and 1 GB RAM under its hood, while the small Kindle Fire HD has 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9. Users can choose between 16 GB and 32 GB storage space options for both gadgets. For early Android adopters, the Nexus 7 is more preferable for running on the more updated Android (4.2.1 Jelly Bean), as opposed to Kindle's Android 4.0.
VIDEO: Google Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD (MobileTechReview)
One of the main differentiators of these devices is the store associate to the device. Nexus users shop at Google Play Store, which is relatively a newbie against Amazon for Kindle.

Is Portland really that good?
Power rankings always are tricky -- here's how to really tell how good a team is
It's never easy to rank NBA teams, a task that our Marc Stein undertakes each week, but the most difficult time for evaluations might be this middle point of November. We're beyond the point where truly fluky outcomes like the Philadelphia 76ers' starting 3-0 are possible, but we're not yet far enough into the season that the standings have truly settled down. The biggest challenge for power rankings this week? The Portland Trail Blazers, who, after holding off the Toronto Raptors in a 118-110 overtime win, improved their record to 8-2 and own the third-best record in the league.
But is Portland really the third-best team in the league? Probably not. But figuring out exactly where to put the Trail Blazers (Stein ranked them seventh in his power rankings; The Hollinger Rankings have them eighth) is tricky. Here's how statistics can help.

Brilliant! Very professional, great communication and fantastic logos! I was expecting to have to go back and forth trying to find the right logo design for my company, however, with 5 designers on the case, they hit the nail on the head first time. I absolutely LOVE my logo and would highly recommend SpellBrand to anyone looking to get one. Looking forward to the website part now…

SpellBrand was very accommodating from the beginning of the design process even when we had distinct design ideas, being architect designers ourselves. Jeff responded with many preliminary style options based on our initial sketchy ideas, enabling us to zoom in on the specific feel we were looking for. From that point on, it was just refinement and the final logo was in our hands in a matter of days. We have used SpellBrand on other logos for my clients projects.

I am absolutely delighted with my Logo. At first I was a bit put off by all the questions, but now understand that the more the designer knows the better a job they can do. My logo looks very professional and is definitely what I was looking for to properly brand my company and take us to the next level. Found the system great to work with, allowing comments to be made and questions to be asked/answered with ease. Communication was excellent throughout. Overall a great experience and I will use your services again for my clients requiring new logos.

Mallorca Off-season
... some lovely areas to get different views of the island.
There were beaches to walk on, a lovely rock walkway along one side of the island, caves where you could hear the water crashing and disappearing into, and the water was sooo clear and turquoise!
We had a very restful time in Mallorca. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season thus far and look for our next post from Rome!
Leaving Mallorca
... D'or a few times to drive and explore other beaches and along the way we found a few castles and some caves. Usually when we came across caves or a castle, we could explore most of the site without paying because part of the attraction was free to the public.

But it was also really easy to go quite far out and be completely secluded and very peaceful - the ...

Which might not have been such a bad idea, as apparently various parts of the beach are for different "customers"... We were in a quite normal section although did get a few shocks when not concentrating or focussing properly! In the evening, we met with Lisa ...

Government of Peru Reopens Machu Picchu After 2 Month Closure
The citadel of Machu Picchu is seen during its reopening in Cuzco, Peru, Thursday, April 1, 2010. Peruvian officials celebrated the reopening of the Inca citadel after a two-month closure caused by flooding. AP Photo/Karel Navarro.
The famed Inca citadel of Machu Picchu reopened to tourists Thursday after a two-month closure due to floods that washed out the rail link to the mountaintop ruins.
Actress Susan Sarandon was on hand for an ancient ceremony asking for the blessing of mother Earth and other rituals, including the sounding of an Incan welcoming trumpet.
Sarandon posed for photos with young girls wearing traditional Andean dress, and sipped coca tea that many locals use to ward off the effects of altitude at nearly 8,000 feet (2,440 meters) above sea level.
Tourism Vice Minister Mara Seminario said hundreds of foreign visitors entered the ruins following the morning reopening, as an early downpour gave way to a brilliant sun.
Peru's No. 1 tourist site had been shut down since late January, when heavy rains disrupted the rail link from the city of Cuzco and trapped some 4,000 tourists, many of whom had to be rescued with helicopters.
Workers have now finished rehabilitating the last 17 miles (28 kilometers) of the tracks, though service has not been restored all the way to Cuzco.
Officials have said the entire route is not expected to reopen until June. Until then, tourists can travel by bus from Cuzco to Piscachuco and from there by train to Machu Picchu Pueblo at the base of the ruins.
The train is the only form of transportation to the fortress, though hardier tourists can also hike there along the steep Inca Trail.
Machu Picchu, nestled atop a verdant mountain in the Andes, averages 1,500 to 2,000 visitors a day.
