bed development ..... eye strain hazard
i dont know how you guys hijacked my gifting post with bed development .... but whatever ...
you guys are having problems.. because you are trying to build a bed to plant in today ...
for the rest of the season.. you should be preparing NEXT YEARS BEDS ... NOW!!!! ... so you will have solved all the problems you are struggling with now ...
you spend a month killing the grass ... i use generic roundup ... spraying every 10 days or so.. until you kill most of it ...
then you add irrigation ....
then you add mulch.. or not...
then next year.. the soil will be mostly weed free .. or if you mulch or lasagna... fluffy and ready to dig ...
yeah it take planning ....
it also forces you to buy no more than you have immediate space for ...
so get to work on NEXT YEARS BEDS ....
here are 3 differing sets of pix of how it can be done ... i dont leave my pix up forever.. so study them.. take notes.. there will be a quiz ...
here the grass was previously killed.. waiting for tree guys to come offer some chips ... obviously a conifer bed site ...
here is fixing a stupid prior design.. lol
next set .... one of the most important things to take into account.. is how the lawn is mowed.. how you tools will be used in the design ... i recall once spending two days making a perfect 90 degree grass elbow .... took less than one week to discover the darned lawnmower could not make a 90 degree turn ... carp ... note the use of the hoses for the edge.. you then put the sprayer nozzle on the hose.. and shoot the roundup INTO the bed .... and if you scroll back up.. you can see perfect interface lines between grass and dead grass ... the front line of hose is just extra.. not part of the plan ...
and perhaps a repeat of fixing the stupid design
the curves are made by lowering the mower deck.. and cutting an arc the mower can easily handle.. then moving in the hose ...
here is a pic from the WAY BACK MACHINE.... that bed just kept getting bigger and bigger..
and finally.. little grass ... under the giant oak ... but here we are adding drip irrigation ... this is the liberty bed you have seen quite often ... it took 3 years to kill all the poison ivy and 1.5 caliper cherries in this bed.. before i ever got to this point ...
Hi Ken, that's a very helpful set of photos, I am particularly interested in the irrigation.
what do you use/where do you get it/how much does it cost
Can drip irrigation like this be set up so that one can drag a garden hose over to the irrigated area and hook it up to the "system"? That's what I would need to do.
Since you are a conifer guy, as well, maybe you can offer some insight as to whether this area I have under my old Norway pines (finally identified this spring on conifer forum!) could be planted with hostas and watered with irrigation similar to your set up?
Basically, I want to create a nice woodland walk, there are a lot of deciduous trees/shrubs on the north side of this pine row, so the garden would go much deeper than just this pine row. I can also place hostas on the south side of the row, where you see the trees throwing their shadows on the grass.
It's very difficult to dig under these trees and it's quite dry under there. I'm thinking I might want to take a year or two to fluff it up somehow, but I'm pretty sure I can't use a lasagne/method or deep mulch, as it could harm the trees, right? What about roundup for the scrub plants that grow under them right now, can I use round-up under the trees?
Any thoughts on how I might prepare a bed under there? Having some hostas under them is my first choice, but if it isn't going to work easily enough, I could put the hostas north and south of the pine row and mostly plant masses of other medium directly below the pines where it's hard to dig...epimedium, geranium macrorrhizum...things that like dry shade.
I sure would appreciate your thoughts on how you might handle this area.
I like the lasagne method myself. Guess I'm too much into instant gratification. But if I could stand to wait, I'd sure do it like Ken does!
One thing I like about the lasagne method (newspaper and mulch) is how quickly the soil underneath improves. Everywhere I've dug into a lasagne bed to plant more plants (in future years) the soil has been beautiful. Much finer then it was to begin with.
I'm getting more and more patient as I get older...it seems like it's easier to do the job "right". Plus, since I can hardly keep up with the weeding in my current beds, I'm in no hurry to create a nightmare that I can't keep up with!
Ken, do you think that a layer of newspaper and some mulch would be enough under my pines to get it going...and if I stayed, say, under 5" total, perhaps it wouldn't hurt the pines?
I know you use drip irrigation. How do get the water to these beds? It looks like many of the beds you are creating are island beds and they appear to be quite far away from the house/water source. I can see you are laying out 1/2 inch tubing in the beds. Do you just use 1/2 inch or do you use 1/4 inch extensions in beds also? Thanks for the education.
hey steve ...
hosta need constant water.. and are under irrigation ...
conifers.. once established after about 2 years.. need no water other than what God gives them .. ergo.. no irrigation ...
however ... i did add what i call cemetery spigots all over the yard ... in the first few pix. look for circle beds with a stake coming up.. holding the spigot ... way out of focus.. but use your imagination ...
and you will see one in the hose pix .... a 3 foot garden stake with a spigot ...
with a 500 x 500 foot yard.. i have a spigot within about 50 feet of any bed ... best upfront money i ever spent ..
spent the first year dragging 500 feet of hose with a single rainbird around the hosta ... the first watered was dry before i was 1/8 of the way thru the beds.. hence the drip lines ...
I do agree with Ken about spigot placement.
When we installed our lawn sprinkler system, we had them run a spigot to the middle of our back property line. Our yard is 100 feet wide, so this affords us being able to spot water almost anywhere in the yard with a 50' hose.
You have quite a set up there Ken. Some thought went into it, for sure, before you began.
All your ideas are and should be quite beneficial to those who are wanting there own garden but don't know where to start.
Not quite sure who the original hose guy was..no pun intended. I guess it really doesn't matter.
bumping this one up ...
and answering bk's question a bit late.. lol ...
i would think lasagna is more of mulch.. which break down into the soil below .. so i bet.. not sure.. that it wouldnt be a 'build up' issue ...
Ken, by "next year" are you meaning 2013?
I am printing out this whole thread, before the rest of your pics are taken down.
We don't have space requiring a riding mower, so our dimensions are for a push mower. We will be adding some irrigation pipe also. I do not remember reading if you put the irrigation as an addition to the spigot in the bed or not, like leaving soaker hoses circling the beds?
I had soaker hoses which the heat here decomposed, they turned into strips of fibrous rubber, and they were beneath the 4 inches of bark mulch. I don't think it will get that bad where I plan on locating the hosta, beneath the pecan trees and behind the Teahouse where they will have morning sun, broken shade in the midmorn/early aft, and shade in the later afternoon. Always hot though, high humidity.
My hauler is a farmer who will be delivering top soil/manure cut with bark. Should I add some sand or something to aerate the soil? How high should I raise the beds above the natural garden level? Any advice appreciated.
I have a cement driveway which sometimes gets hot enough to fry eggs, but won't be setting my plants anywhere near that.
hey soft shoe ... moccasin ...
first any pic can be reloaded if you wish ...
i am saying.. that if you have hosta coming in may .. [me in MI] ... its a little late.. trying to build the bed in april [in MI] ...
the point is to build next years bed.. this year ... so if you are getting a delivery for this years bed.. consider making next years also .. the guy is coming anyway ...
and yes.. i obviously work on a scale different with where i came from.. suburbia.. but the process is easily scaled down to such ..
the bed being developed in this post is a conifer bed.. NO IRRIGATION ... my lot is 500 by 500 ... which means i would need about 1000 feet of hose from the spigot at the house ... so.. similar to a cemetery.. i put spigots all around the yard ... so i never need more than a 75 foot hose ...
but with the mineral sand .. and hosta spread over about 3 acres of space ..... hosta need drip irrigation .. i just could NOT drag hose all over the area.. and the pressure needed to run one rainbird.. did not cover enough area .. when with the same pressure i can water 500 hosta.. as compared to 50 ... and this is engineered drip tape.. not recycled tire hose.. which is useless IMHO ...
as to this, i suggest you start your own post.. so replies will be sent to you ... and for no other reason .. why bury it here :

I am like Phil ken. A little old to be tackling as big a project. But the older I have become the more patient. You would think the opposite would be true, as in the don't buy green bananas approach. lol. When I moved here from AR I didn't have time to do what you have done. I had less than a year to move a ton of hostas with no bed prepared to put them in. So I had to dig a small hole for each and stomp them in (my version of your driveway theorum). It does work - if needed. It is better than nothing but has its price. I have started three beds since then and each I have worked on over a year before planting hostas. You are absolutely right. Regardless of which method you use, the best ingredient is forethought and patience.
Just what "the doctor ordered"- patients. lol
But the doctors teach another lesson. After years in their profession, they still consider their business "pradtice". Now THAT is scary. As you get older you will learn how to use the caps key.
And one last thought: it is always more rewarding to do something, even if it is wrong, than do nothing at all! At least when it applies to growing hostas.
Ken, I have always been afraid to spray "Roundup" around my trees thinking it could weaken or kill them. After reading your method I checked the Monsanto website and they say that it is harmless as long as it doesn't get on the foliage or in a wound. They do say that late summer or Autumn is optimal and they do caution that young trees with green bark will absorb the glyphosate as will suckers on mature trees.
I do appreciate the tip which will make my life a lot easier. Thanks,
Here is a link that might be useful: Monsanto
i would presume.. that green bark.. means the green cambian layer.. which is the vascular system of the plant.. is right there just under very thin bark ..
when we go to kill a stump.. all you need hit with round up.. is that green line right inside the trunk ...
so yes.. stay away from that tree ...
but otherwise.. frankly.. bark is dead tissue .. on an older tree .. and it does not have the capability to 'suck' in the bad stuff ...
all that said.. there really isnt much reason to be spraying that close to a tree .. most weeds.. react to killer.. w/o spraying the whole ... just spray the part further away from the tree..
and dont forget low pressure to avoid drift
Ken...how does the drip tape hold up for you? Have you had any problems with emitters clogging or root intrusion?
We use a Netafim hose in both the yard and vineyard, which is flexible but with thicker walls and emitters every 18 inches (yard) or 42 inches (vineyard). It can be quite the puzzle laying it out at 18 inch hose spacing in odd sized/shaped garden beds! We had to replace the original hose after 12 years because of...clogging and root intrusion, but overall it works very well and is a very efficient way to irrigate.
Do you have any update pictures of your carefully prepared beds?
I find I don't plant in rows so is very difficult to design a water system like yours . We have very hard water from our well and it plugs up lines very quickly . We did get a softener in the house but would take too much for the system for outdoors too. I also tried to prepare beds in advance and all of a sudden they too have been loaded with hosta, fern and other perennials I seem to buy. I do dig all the sod out first so the grass is no problem but it was loads of work too. I want instant gratification because I have to catch up to all you experienced growers.
I love it someone starts of a conversation with "We". It almost invariably is intended to try and intimidate the person you are talking to by infering you, the individual, represent a vast overwhelming concensus of everyone else in the world.
Well, I realize that Roundup / glyphosate acts through the leaves of a plant interrupting plant enzymes (only) and is deactivated when it comes in contact with any soil. Once it has dried it is safe for children or pets.
You may prefer not to use glyphosate and prefer to save up newspapers and spread them to kill weeds. Fine with me, it is your choice and in a small area it is fine. I find it takes far more effort and can take far longer than desired for the newspapers to decompose. I prefer to simply spray glyphosate because it is far quicker and more convenient; especially since I have large areas to cover.
Now, JonnyB, your conclusion is not appropriate here. Intimidation is not something I found in either post. Put that chip into your mulch pile, honey.
I (or WE if referring to me and my DH and the dogs and the parrots) have two neighbors who grace us with their newspapers. When I prepared to lay the groundwork for the Hosta Sanctuary late this fall, I took all of the newspaper and spread it across the area most difficult to kill the weeds. It also served to help level it. Then I laid the landscaping fabric, then the mulch over that, then the cement pavers, yadayadayada, and voila it is now looking pretty classy.
I do not have large areas to cover, relatively speaking. Our lot is something like 140 deep by almost 90 wide. But the back forty is 25 x 100.
What I want to know is, can I spray glyphosate on the evergreen camphor suckers off a stump, close to my dormant Blue Angel hosta? I know Ken says low pressure will work, just what if it gets in the soil?
Well, I may be jumping to conclusions. If you were simply expressing a partnersip situation then I apologize hmac. It is a very sore spot based on a recent incident where the "We" tactic was attempted to be used on me.
I expressed my objection to a fence being put around an iconic whaling statue and the response started out with "We" were against whaling and went on to describe how horrific it was to slaughter such a noble animal, etc., etc., etc. I calmly explained that I was not trying to bring back whaling and I simply didn't like the fence. I did add that "We" are against child bullying, torture and a few other things to make my point.
So, maybe I over reacted.
Glyphosate enters through growing leaves only. It is impossible for it to enter into the DORMANT Blue Angel plants. It does not enter through roots and does not enter tree trunks except of they are young and green and have not grown protective bark or have a scrape on the bark. It would work on any growing hosta through any spray on the leaves.
Ken and others,
Nice winter day here in the mountains of SW Virginia, 63 degrees outside with nice gentle rain.
My outbound work flight was cancelled due to bad weather in Atlanta, so came home and dragged all the tropicals outside for a gentle day soak. Only about 50 plants nowadays, I am slacking off a bit.Used to bring 150-200 plants in for the winter.
Nice to see brugmansias still blooming and variegated albutilons with blooms, hibiscus buds opening etc. Still have some geraniums and rex begonias in pots blooming as well.
Potted up last three pots of hosta roots I had laying around in bags for a couple of months, since digging and cleaning out any rot from them when I rebuild the beds. Put them in pots and winter over in the basement. Crystal Fountain, Gigantea, Sieb. Elegans, Invincible and Galaxy.
Made a deal with a nearby horse farm for both well rotted manure and fresh. About 2 miles away, will need a bunch of plastic bins which they will fill and set aside for my pickup and return.
Plan to spread about 4-6 inches of well rotted horse manure on a couple of 10 year old beds, work the soil and then replant next Spring. Soil prep is the key to great hosta beds when you don't have Illinois soil or Delaware mushroom soil.

Monkeys Made Smarter With Prosthetic Device 102
from the brain-damaged-coke-monkeys dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The feed back device didn't improve the monkey's intelligence, it simply undid some of the damage the crack did to them.
Really? Not even going to RTFS?
According to the study findings, the MIMO device was exceedingly effective in restoring the cocaine-impaired decision-making ability to an improved level of 10 percent above normal, even when the drug was still present and active.'"
Emphasis mine. Your other points may be valid, but this technique certainly did more than just undo the effects of the drug.

Seattle finally picks, gets Colorado's Richardson
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The belief was that if Seattle decided to address adding a wide receiver in the NFL draft that size and height might outweigh all other factors.
Instead, the Seahawks chose speed over size.
After twice trading down, the Seahawks picked Colorado wide receiver Paul Richardson with the No. 45 overall pick in the second round of the draft on Friday, pairing one of the fastest players in the draft with an offense that will have its first full season with Percy Harvin healthy.
Seattle later added Missouri offensive lineman Justin Britt with the final pick of the second round and immediately threw him in the competition for the Seahawks' open spot at right tackle following the departure of Breno Giacomini in free agency.
Seattle was originally scheduled to pick at No. 40 before making a second draft trade, this time with Detroit. By moving back five spots, the Seahawks were still able to get a speedy receiver to add to their roster and help make up for the loss of Golden Tate in free agency.
"I really think he's the guy with the best quickness in and out of the breaks and the explosive downfield (strike)," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "He's an exciting guy to bring to camp to add to our team and I think the guys will take to him."
Richardson was timed at 4.4 in the 40-yard dash at the combine, good for the eighth-fastest time of all participants. Richardson said his fastest 40 time ever was a 4.28 earlier this year and was disappointed with what he ran at the combine.
That speed in college helped to make up for a lack of weight. Richardson said he played collegiately around 160 pounds, but has added about 20 pounds since the end of last season. Despite his lack of weight, Seattle scout Matt Berry said Richardson had no problem separating from physical defensive backs at the line of scrimmage.
"How big is Doug (Baldwin)? How big is Percy? He's just like our guys," Carroll said. "I know there is some concern about that but we love the way our guys play."
Carroll remembered Richardson, a Los Angeles native, being on his radar when he was the coach at Southern California before taking the Seahawks job.
"I think I'm just a playmaker. A guy that likes to stretch the defense and likes to make plays underneath and over the top and do it consistently," Richardson said.
Richardson missed the 2012 season with a knee injury. His rebound in 2013 was outstanding. Despite playing with a young quarterback, Richardson had a standout senior season with 83 catches for 1,343 yards and 10 touchdown catches. Three times he had at least 10 catches in a game, even as the Buffaloes were struggling through a 4-8 season.
"My knee hasn't been an issue since I got my brace off," Richardson said. "I've been blessed to bounce back from my injury fast."
Britt's selection addressed Seattle's need for depth on the offensive line after the departures of Giacomini and Paul McQuistan in free agency. While he played left and right tackle at Missouri, the Seahawks intend on giving him the first look at right tackle competing with Michael Bowie.

I moved to Jefferson City on October 8th. Phone/Cable/Internet was installed that day. I haven't had any problems with my cable, however techs had to come out on Friday because I'll make a call, hang up, then not have a dial tone even though I wait 10 or 15 seconds to make the next call so the modem can reset. Of course, I lose internet at the same time. The techs had to go up on a ladder outside and readjust wiring, and removed a splitter since I only use one tv and one phone. They told me the signal should be twice as good and tested the phone line while here. It's Saturday, and early this afternoon I returned from the festival and my phone wasn't working. Usually I unplug the modem and replug and it will reset and work fine(for a while, anyway), but only a couple lights came on this time. I unplugged and replugged, unplugged and replugged. It came back on, I made a call to my parents, and I was disconnected. I unplugged and replugged, and had to call Mediacom, threatening with a BBB complaint, although the tech woman was very nice and credited my account for the time it would take for another tech to come out on Tuesday. It's up and running again, but I feel like I'm checking the lights on the modem every couple minutes to see if all are on, and I try not to use the laptop or phone much. I personally don't think it's a modem problem or connections on the inside of the apartment.....they'll have to check the outside wiring again as I was told by the tech that there was some out of range connection problems.
Well, the techs have been out 6 times in a 3 week period, one came this morning. As usual, the phone/internet went out around 1030am and probably won't go back on until 4pm or 5pm. I'm at the library typing this.
Techs came out twice on thursday, the first switching modems, saying that he was giving me a modem designed for wireless which I should have had with my order in the first place. Within a 1/2 hour, the phone/internet weren't working.
Three vans pulled up around 5pm later that day, replacing the modem again with a brand new modem. I lost two calls that evening, and phone and internet service went out from around 10am on Friday until 4pm.
Because the phone/internet were working this morning, the tech this morning couldn't do much except check the outside, and it seemed ok. He also told me that because the modem had been switched out, there was little history on it, and i was best waiting a week until they could see the history of when i was losing signals, etc. UGGGGGGGGGGG.
Tech support is saying that a possible area wide signal which should be around 0, is at 12 percent or greater, and another signal that should be around 30 or better is in the 20's.
My case has been escalated at least twice, and now maintenance is supposed to come out and other Mediacom personnel are supposed to look into whatever it will take to resolve the signal problems.
In the meantime, my NEW SERVICE WITH CENTURY LINK will be installed on Wednesday, and Direct TV is coming out Tuesday to install the dish.
The Better Business Bureau of NY has informed me that my complaint has been sent to Mediacom Headquarters and a response is pending. From what I've heard, they sometimes don't ever respond to BBB complaints. They're not even registered with the BBB, and for good reason, as they'd have a lousy rating.
My landlord emailed me this morning telling me he had warned me not to go with Mediacom, and I responded that I didn't realize that their customer service was THAT bad.

I completely understand your frustration with the issues you have had thus far. I will be more than happy to look into them from here. Can you send me an IM with your account or phone number?

Re: Service
(personal info removed-tmpchaos)
In addition to the problems I'm already having, there was an area outage today, and my phone was down most of the day, and I think there was one earlier this week
I've reported Mediacom to the Better Business Bureau in NY, and have not only asked for the 90 day money back guarantee of the 129.00 I paid, but an additional 100.00 for pain and suffering in missed important business calls, losing minutes on my cell phone that I had to use when the landline was down, etc.....and I've asked that the refund not take 4-6 weeks as promised, but that I receive it a lot sooner for my trouble
I was told by a tech that my area has had problems for at least the 2 years that he's worked for the company and it's gotten worse in the past three weeks. He states that lines coming into my apartment are fine, that it's a neighborhood issue, and that maintenance workers are being called in from another city to work on it because Jefferson City doesn't have enough. I was told by a supervisor that there is no time frame of when this issue will be resolved.
I feel I've given Mediacom every opportunity to resolve this problem, and I can not continue not having phone service on a daily basis, and therefore called Direct TV this morning --from my cell I might add, since I didn't have service.
Mediacom has a C+ rating from the BBB site and most complaints revolve around service issues. Numerous poor reviews are posted on the Middletown NY Corporate Headquarters site
I WOULD URGE ANYONE LIVING IN THE JEFFERSON CITY MISSOURI AREA NOT TO USE MEDIACOM until they hurry up and get maintenance out to look at all the wires in the entire city to explore where their signal problems are coming from.
Mediacom should be upfront with their prospective customers and tell them ahead of time that they've experienced problems in various neighborhoods of the city. Even the Attorney General's office phone's were down less than a week ago and personnel there were highly aggravated and Mediacom made it a priority to get them fixed, according to the tech who visited my home. Too bad Mediacom isn't making it a priority to fix my phone service or the customers in my area to that degree.
Well, I was editing this review,, but, of course my internet gave out on me this morning, one hour after the tech left, so I'm at the library using a computer.
Techs have been out 6 times now in a three week period. Two came out on Thursday. The first replaced the modem with a used one, saying that I had been using a modem not designed for wireless, like I had signed up for. Since I lost phone service and internet within 1/2 hour of him leaving, they sent three vans out around 5pm and delivered a brand new modem. Within an hour, I could hear my Mom on the other end of the phone saying to my stepfather, "This is ridiculous, he lost phone service again", as we were disconnected. And another call was dropped, this time with a Mediacom rep. I had service overnight and lost it around 10am the following morning, as I usually do. So, I was set up with another tech visit this morning(Saturday). Of course the modem lights were working the way they should, and he checked outside and it appeared OK, so he left without being able to do anything---OR WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING that he may have been able to do.
He also told me that because the modem was brand new, that there was only a two day history on it, so I should wait about a week, and if having problems, he would be able to see a pattern on it at that time. Made me feel like I should have kept the old modem so they would have a two week history on that one.
Tech support keeps telling me that a signal that should be around 0, is up to 12 percent or more, and another one that should be around 30 or better is in the 20's.
People at Mediacom are starting to know me on a first name basis, and probably don't have to pull up my address anymore. My Mom thinks i should charge techs rent for them to live with me to be around when the phone doesn't work.
I emailed my landlord and asked him where he wanted the satellite dish for Direct TV, since i told him I was switching to Centurylink/Direct TV this coming week. He responded that he had warned me not to go with Mediacom. I responded that I didn't realize that Mediacom service was THAT bad. I told him that they gave me next month free for my trouble, and I had been trying to work with them to resolve the issue, but at this point it didn't matter if they gave me a zillion credits on my account, I'm not going to tolerate losing phone/internet service on a daily basis, especially since it seems to occur between the hours of 10am and 4pm. This morning i told the rep, "I know it's going to go out as soon as you leave, probably around 10am"......i checked the clock when it did and it was at 1030am on the button. Hopefully, when i get home this evening around 4 or 5, it will be back on.
My case has been escalated, of course,,,twice i believe. Maintenance is supposed to look into this. The tech told me that hopefully maintenance will be out before Wednesday, and you can stick with Mediacom. With the stress that Mediacom has put me through, that's not going to happen. I'll never be able to trust Mediacom service again, even if they say it's permanently fixed. I'll always wonder, while I'm away from the apartment, if a caller will get "the line's been temporarily disconnected", or whether they'll get my answering machine to pickup.
Good riddance Mediacom.

Re: Service
I definitely do not like to hear a customer is having so many issues and don't want to see you switch to another provider. If there is anything you would like me to look into then just private message me on here. In order to do so you'll have to register with the site.
2013-Oct-26 2:11 pm: ·
They will refund any service and installation fees but that's about it. There is no way to expedite the process or that's what I was told a while ago. Area upstream SNR issues are not easy to pinpoint and fix...
I speak for myself, not my employer.

Re: Service
well, i'll see what happens....I know customer service will only authorize a refund, but now that the BBB complaint has been submitted to the business, they may respond more favorably than with just a refund.......the NY BBB called me yesterday and said if they don't respond at all, it will take their rating down to a D or F.......so either way I'll be happy,,,I either get what I'm asking for or they get the D or F that they deserve
Area supervisors were supposed to come to my home yesterday--making Mediacom's visits to my home at number 7......I called Mediacom tech support this morning just to see what they accomplished and the supervisor said they couldn't find anything wrong.
She wanted to schedule an 8th visit tomorrow---actually one's scheduled----I told her I had told Mediacom about a week ago that I had been planning to switch to Centurylink this week, so they had some time to get the problem fixed. She understood my frustration and said she'd try to get them out today during the hours that my phone's usually down and call me back..........of course she hasn't called back.
Thanks for the good customer service, Mediacom-----NOT!

Re: Service
I responded to you and thanks for the response,,,,as you know I've messaged you privately.
Centurylink and Direct TV are working great and couldn't ask for better service.
I called on November 1st to disconnect all Mediacom services. They told me it would take a WEEK to disconnect...Never heard of that before. You would think if I wanted the service gone instantly, it would be done instantly.
Anyway, it's November 7th, and I called my old number from my Centurylink new number, just to see what the message says, to see if it indicated disconnection. It states that the number is temporarily out of service. LOL. Tells me that if I still had Mediacom phone and internet, neither would be working at the time of the call. I actually called it twice today, and it said the same thing.
I called customer service to make sure my account had been closed and that my number is being disconnected today--I was thinking to myself NOW YOU CAN"T GET RID OF THEM, like a fly that hangs on you, hoping that you won't leave them for another company.
Customer service says the account was closed today, but a tech has to come out and disconnect the signal coming into my apartment. That should be easy, because there is no signal into my apartment. Fortunately, I don't have to be here, like the other 8 times they had to send out a tech.
I don't understand why people would pay about 98.00 including taxes for lousy service with Mediacom, getting a limited amount of stations, and having to have a modem for each phone, when they can switch to Direct TV/Century link for about 85.00/mo including taxes the first year, for over 300 channels, and since I've got two phone jacks running into the apartment, I can make use of both phones without needing two modems, and I still get fast internet.
Makes you think, doesn't it?

Reveal! High end cook's kitchen. Cherry, Miele, maple
Hi friends. Firstly forgive me if you have been through my photos before, or have followed my threads elsewhere. It was suggested to me that I get my pics together and make a high impact picture heavy thread with appropriately sized images so you can see our kitchen remodel start to finish.
If you really want to see the entire catalog of nearly 300 pictures feel free to go to my site:
Kitchen Stadium
Our kitchen was 13 years old. While it looked nice, it was not a cook's kitchen, nor did it allow for a good flow during big parties which we have frequently. The fireplace and island were too close as seen in a pic below. Here are a series of before pictures to show you the situation. We also redid the living room as well since it was one big space.
This post was edited by will2kz on Tue, Jul 23, 13 at 9:41
Instead of becoming too verbose here, check out my other threads below. But of course ask any questions you want.
Stadium Thread
Blind corner
Butcher block prep island
Stages sink
Walk in pantry
If anyone knows how to post direct links to GW webpages let me know, they are getting redirected away for now. Sorry.

A few of my favorite things…. (in case you asked)
My granite has emerald greens and sapphire blues with pure blacks and whites. It's a schist called Orion, and its unlikely you will find something like this anywhere, very unique rock.
The wet bar is infinitely more functional. The utility runs to this spot were incredible. That's a Hoshizaki C-100BAE cubelet ice machine. Makes ice like that found at Sonic fast food stores…. Also Miele coffee system (craigslist splurge), Thermador dishwasher and wine tower.
Everything I need for the steam, speed, and regular oven are all within arms reach. (All Miele)
Did this tile myself, love how it came out. It's a mix of frosted, clear, and blue/black glass tiles. Wanted it to pull out colors in granite and complement the glass in the light fixtures.
Designed this too. The blind end of the island actually rolls away and contains all of our forma china and platters. The wood top is meant to be a functional serving top if we need a side table.
Spice rack, professionally modeled for you. Its right next to area I use it most. So easy to access and find everything. No more digging!
Yup, another proud idea. You can see this in the above post for my thoughts and how this works. Kohler Karbon faucet (splurge).
This took some imagination and careful measuring to fit as the drainboard to the right "shouldn't" technically fit above a dishwasher…. Kohler Stages 45 sink
128,000 btu and 1200 cfm…. Capital Culinarian rangetop and Ventahood.
Legrade Adorne undercabinet lighting and plug molds. Keeps switchplates out of tile. iPad holder for recipes (when I follow one).
Popup plug, very convenient, but I wish it were flush mount to counter. Maybe my only style regret, but ridiculously functional.
Two identical counter height tables from Kincaid. With tables expanded we have room for 12. With them shrunk 8 chairs at table, four at island. We have no formal dining, so ability to move chairs from island to table was goal. So far we love this idea.
Will be sending this to finished kitchen blog in future. Feel free to asks questions.
The wet bar and spice pull out are FREAKING AWESOME.
BTW You should x post this in Appliance Forum.
This ain't a GE Café type kitchen, I am sure some of the AF guys that rarely come here would love to see it.

wowza! so many inspired ideas!
your fridge/pantry area is brilliant!
can you share more info on your ipad holder? i would love to have one of those!
also where did you get those metal spice rack holders?
i apologize if it is in one of your threads. i haven't had a chance to look through all the links you provided yet. thank you!
Honestly one of the best kitchens ever!
It takes something to take a perfectly good kitchen and transform it into a perfect kitchen and makes the rest of the space work so well.
Love the fridge/pantry, of course the bar area; but the cool under island roll out!! Thank you thank you! I've been trying to get a similar idea across to my DH and cabinet maker and they weren't getting my drawings. Now I can show them your awesome kitchen and say SEE!!
Really great job - I want to come to one of your parties.
The iPad holder is part of theLegrand Adorne collection. They have all sorts of accessories, but pricey.
The spice racks within the rack came from The Container Store. They fit perfectly, but that was pure luck. Each lid has a clear sticker label on the lid. Yes those are 95% full...
If you look at the blueprints its obvious we used a designer. I paid $800 to get 4 rough mock ups done, then we chose one and he cleaned up our choice. Then I modified it another 30-40% and added the wet bar, designed the living room, the pantry, etc. All I needed was someone to sort out "how" the space could be better used and took it from there. $800 was a drop in the bucket on this kitchen budget.
THANK YOU for all of the great comments. Besides bragging and trying to inflate my ego. The key to getting all this "crazy" stuff included was having a flexible builder, and knowing how to a) design and b) actually build these items. Yes, knowing electrical, and plumbing codes, etc goes with years of tinkering, but research, reading, flipping through GW and Houzz, these are the inspiration. I would be a complete failure had I not shared back.
If anyone in the Twin Cities wants a tour, I'd consider the request. Shoot me a message.
OMG I would totally love to have this kitchen. Incredible. Love, love, love the wet bar area. Digging the ice maker. Is that that cup warming drawer under the Miele coffee machine?
Wow, the whole thing is incredible. Function AND Form in a lovely package. You will enjoy for years and years to come. Congratulations.
Love the kitchen and the wet bar. We have a Sonic close by and even though I have an ice maker, I still sometimes drive thru and pick up a bag of their ice! So jealous. What color did you paint the walls?
Side note, the company I work for makes the Cork Cage in the picture. I have the same one as you and it's full too!
I wouldn't say the prior kitchen was perfectly good. It was newer sure. But it was designed to look nice, not function nice, except for the minimal "reheat" takeout cook. The house is a large "entertaining" house and needed a kitchen to match. Well, maybe I went overboard, but my wife made the mistake of saying "get what you want so I don't have to listen to regrets later....."
famous last words.
We love the cork cages! My mother in law recycles them as stylized plant bedding around her pool. Of course, the day of the "cork" is limited with nicer and nicer screw tops coming along.
The paint is a greyish blue, its from a company locally called Hirschfields so I don't know how to translate that to something you could see locally. My wife was hesistant to go with a primary color instead of some earth tone, but this is not a loud blue in my mind. Cool, modern, pulls the colors from the tile and granite. I don't think we are stuck with blue forever, I could get away with a green in the future too....
Thanks again for the complements. My builder is lurking here, and is enjoying the press too!
Your counters are neat. i am glad people are still going for bold look granite. As much as the mellow stone thing is hip right now, there is nothing like a unique granite!!!
Mr. Caples in earth science 8th grade. Hooked me to geology, haven't given it up since. I like to look "into" a piece of granite, and large pieces of quartz in this offer that. I like to be surprised the more you look. I like to break up monotony. Mankind did not create stone, I'm not choosing to use stone to decorate, its insulting. I chose the stone and decorated around it! It's art and science and forever, so don't be dull in this choice I say! To be honest, I looked at most of the granite yards in our large metro area, to find this. Of course it was in our closest yard.... go figure.
>> Hoshizaki C-100BAE cubelet ice machine. Makes ice like that found at Sonic fast food stores….
Best type of ice!
How is its noise level?
I had to move the u-Line ice maker into the laundry room adjacent to the pantry because it just made too much noise during the cycle.
What a wonderful entertaining space you have created, congrats! Love the granite, very envious of your Kohler Stages 45. How do you like the Kohler Karbon? I'd like to see another picture of your prep sink with board and strainer out - that looks interesting. What does sonic ice look like? That was the used icemaker you found and fixed, right? Fabulous pantry! My favorite part is how you've incorporated so many great appliances into the space.
So I did a post of the butcher block prep island with pics and instructions, but my link up above is a dud. So here is a separate post using the embedded link poster.
Here is a link that might be useful: butcher block link
Regarding getting the stages on top of the dishwasher, see the link below for a discussion. It requires very careful measurement, a dremmel, and high cabinets. My dish washer is a tall tub model, so it is dropped to the floor.
Regarding the Kohler Karbon it is very nice. Definitely a splurge. I wanted something I could fold down into a small item as I didn't want a bar faucet here, but didn't want a monster faucet towering over the smallish cutting board. I suppose a spray handle alone would've worked, but then you don't get two free hands. As a prep faucet you can point it right at the vegees getting washed and just leave it on, or leave a gentle arc to wash off potatoes etc into the main sink. I leave the upper bowl in all the time. It comes with a non-strainer bowl that I use to scramble eggs....
Here is a link that might be useful: Stages Sink post
Sonic ice is "nugget ice." Those in the Southern states (turns out an outdoor burger joint is not a great business model in Minnesota), have come to know that the little nuggets of ice in their drinks get 44 ounces of cherry limeade cold very fast, it doesn't impede straw movement, and is fun to crunch.....
We in the science world use nugget ice because it is easier to scoop and molds around the vessel you are keeping cold.
I love this ice. It is made by extruding ice along a chilled shaft until it hits the top and breaks off. Much like squirting play-doh through one of those spaghetti makers as a kid. Hoshizaki is the only company that makes a residential nugget unit, but they are NOT cheap. I bought mine used on Ebay, replaced about $250 worth of parts, and still got a deal. I suspect they are reliable given their commercial heritage, the guts are hardcore having seen them myself. As hoshizaki is a major commercial ice machine maker, service is not hard to come by if you don't like to tinker like me.
Oh, and it is the loudest appliance in my kitchen, but that is true for all ice makers. I find it to be 200% better than the Summit ice maker in my bar downstairs. It doesn't run as much, and is quieter than most. You can turn it off if bugging you during a party.
Sonic ice is perfect sore throat ice. You can crunch it without feeling like you are destroying your teeth. (you still probably are ;-) It's a soft crunch.
We had all sorts of ideas about how to surround the ice maker with sound deadening enclosure and keep it in the kitchen.
Eventually we just moved it beyond the pantry into the laundry room AND weather stripped the bottom of laundry room door since the noise still crept through the bottom of the door.
All I can say is WOW. You really thought out every inch and how you would use it. So many great things...where to begin....that dual fridge/pantry combo is wonderful, the granite is awesome (funny - I used that same argument about choosing my granite...I can see THROUGH it), the pull out under that corner is genius. I could go on and on, but I am wasting time when I could be planning the GW roadtrip to the Twin Cities.
Thanks again for all the praise. We are very proud of our kitchen. While this is a way to brag, I really intend to show everyone what is possible with research and an imagination. Don't settle for that architect's kitchen (it's what I had, good on paper, not for function), but don't just focus on the triangle. I know how I cook. My triangle is too big, my aisles are maybe too small, but it WORKS. Rules are made to satisfy the masses, but push your vision. Make cardboard mock-ups and walk around them. I made a chandelier out of dowel rods and three balloons to visualize placement and scope before I ordered those lights. I thought about the types of dishes I cook (meat prep, vegee prep, baking, measuring), where hot pans will go off stove or out of oven, where I will dump boiling water, where produce will go when coming out of fridge, where I will dump trash and load the dishwasher, how will I unload the dishwasher..... Think of every task you do now and how it will work in your design.
Wet bar thoughts:
The second dishwasher holds only drinking glasses, or spill over for parties. All the glasses are kept in the bar, and all the drinks in the bar fridge or bottom of the wine cabinet. I did this specifically to keep people out of my "cooking loop" as drinks are the "self-service" item people are most likely to come into the work area to get. It was a luxury my space offered, but it required a lot of planning to get all that plumbing and electrical into that wet bar area as it was mostly a china cabinet before.
Keep the questions coming, there are no bad ones.
How did I miss this post earlier? What a beautiful kitchen!
I have installed legrand Adorne products in my kitchen. I and my electrician decided to do this. I did skip the pop up and used a standard outlet on the two level island. Maybe my architect will do this now for other jobs now that he sees it finished. He wanted standard outlets. I live in a small farming community and I am the first to use this in the area. The sales rep from the company and the dealer came several times to insure that everything was right. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Visit Teepee Town
Native Writings After The Detours
Reviewed by
Gabrielle Shaw
Visit Teepee Town presents an ecclectic and beguiling compilation of such varied genres as poetry, personal journalism, tribal oral tradition and academic essay. Additionally, these various forms of writing are from a generous selection of indiginous people ranging from the Arctic Circle to southern Mexico, from the East Coast to the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific.
We hear from Gerald Vizenor who's thoughts on the origin of anthropologists are amusingly relevant. Lise McCloud's powerful writing in Mixed American Pak, blends the themes of forced residential Indian schooling and the National American Holiday of July Fourth with the poetic names of Chinese Fire Works. From her top ten list of fireworks he would like to see in beadwork: 1. Opening Flower with Happy Bird; 8. Sunflower Spinner; 10. Sword Orchid Fountain.
Sherman Alexie, Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, Linda Hogan, Wendy Rose, James Luna, Carolyn Lei-lanilau and Barbara Tedlock are just a few of the many writers who collaborate in a work that utilizes a comple entymology and quick wordplay.
It's focus in parts is broad and readily available to most readers, but in others as narrow as to be understood only by speakers of a specific endangered tongue. This book is a welcome addition to Native literature.

social media watch
Posted by Amy Edel-Vaughn on June 15, 2012 06:04 PM
"April 10, the ash cloud took over" declared Anna Ketting, head of social media for Air France KLM, at The Corporate Social Media Summit 2012 in New York this week. From the havoc an Icelandic volcano created for airlines in 2010 came the genesis of the brand's social media strategy.
Throughout the panel discussions during #CSMNY, the wide-ranging conversations shared a common theme — responsiveness. Whether discussing gamification, marketing synergy, impact or big data, it is clear brands are feeling the pressure to prove social can be a successful commercial enterprise. But what also became clear from the summit is that responsiveness in social media creates opportunities for strong return on investment.Continue reading...

The Corporate Social Media Summit 2011 has wrapped up its two-day conference in New York, today featuring a whirlwind of expert speakers from companies such as Coca-Cola, American Express OPEN, Kodak, Marriott, AT&T, WWE, Aflac, and Cisco.
Discussion was consistent with the major talking points about brands and social media: ROI, customer engagement, strategy, and case studies galore from various campaigns. However, the big question remained, what's next?
Andrew Warden, head of Strategy & Communications for Emerging Markets Services at Cisco Systems, has an idea of what the next wave of social media will be — internal brand engagement by getting more social within company ranks.Continue reading...

Last week I was honored to moderate two panels at the Corporate Social Media conference in New York, which included--unexpectedly--a lesson in how not to engage what you perceive as a target audience.
That came during my first session, a day two kick-off that featured Heather Oldani, head of corporate communications for McDonald's in the U.S., who oversees the chain's social media outreach including courting so-called mommy bloggers; and Bill Tolany, who runs integrated marketing including social media for Whole Foods, who talked about how the company amplifies its presence and engages customers on its blog, Facebook page and multi-pronged Twitter accounts. Oddly, particularly with all the talk of ambush marketing right now, an attempt by PETA to hijack the panel fell flat, judging by tweets from befuddled marketers in the audience.Continue reading...

Norton GreenLyte SG ceramic aluminum oxide discs have a chip-clearing coating to help eject debris, which results in fewer disc changes and more productivity than traditional aluminum oxide discs. These discs are used for high-performance grinding and finishing on carbon steel, mild steel, cast iron, and welds.
Coated abrasives have individual abrasive grains spaced at a predetermined distance from one another. This is a closed-coat disc. A closed coat covers 100 percent of the surface with abrasive grains, for more stiffness and better surface finish than an equivalent open coat, where abrasive grit covers 50 to 70 percent of the surface. The fiber backing is more durable, stiffer, harder, and thicker than other backings, for a more aggressive action that is often intended for heavy material removal applications. This disc features a resin bond. Resin bonds have good moisture resistance, are harder and less flexible than glue bonds, and have good heat resistance and grain retention. Resin bonds are useful for abrasive operations with high operating speeds, impact, and sudden loading, as the resin bond is strong and can withstand rough treatment. repels chips and debris to minimize loading and the heat of operation, for longer life than an uncoated disc wile remaining free cutting. This disc is suitable for use with a die grinder. Use with molded-rubber back up pads. Use a hard pad for aggressive cutting, a medium pad for general-purpose applications, or a soft pad for contours and fine finishing work.
Ceramic aluminum oxide is tougher than aluminum oxide, and is self-sharpening. It is formed in a process where alumina gel is dried and then crushed. These engineered crystals fracture and refracture at fine levels, to form a smooth, self-sharpening abrasive material. Ceramic aluminum oxide is most commonly used for medium-to-high material removal on metals.
Abrasives are used for a variety of applications from shaping a part to fine finishing, depending on the grit size. Low grit numbers like 40 are coarse and are used for removing excess material and shaping a part. High grit numbers like 400 are fine and help to create a smooth surface finish.
Norton Abrasives manufactures a wide variety of sanding, grinding, and polishing abrasives, and has been located in the United States since 1885. In 1990, Saint-Gobain purchased Norton, keeping its manufacturing facilities and offices in the same location. Norton/Saint-Gobain has been recognized as a Global 100 Sustainable Company, as well as earning ISO 9000 and 14001 certification for quality and environmental management standards.

Shock Doctrine in Japan: Shinzo Abe's Rightward Shift to Militarism, Secrecy in Fukushima's Wake
Democracy Now! is broadcasting from Tokyo, Japan, today in the first of three special broadcasts. At a critical time for Japan and the region, we begin our coverage looking at the country's rightward political shift under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was re-elected just over a year ago. As head of the Liberal Democratic Party, Abe is known as a conservative hawk who has pushed nationalistic and pro-nuclear policies. In December, he visited the controversial Yasukuni war shrine, which honors Japanese soldiers who died in battle, including several war criminals who were tried by the International Military Tribunal after World War II. The visit sparked outrage from China and South Korea, who consider the shrine a symbol of Japanese militarism and its refusal to atone for atrocities committed in the first half of the 20th century. We speak about Japan's increasingly pro-nuclear, nationalistic stance with Koichi Nakano, professor at Sophia University in Tokyo and director of the Institute of Global Concern.
From Atomic Bombings to Fukushima, Japan Pursues a Nuclear Future Despite a Devastating Past
Japan is getting ready to mark the third anniversary of one of the world's worst atomic disasters. It was March 11, 2011, when a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami that struck Japan's northeast coast. The twin disasters triggered a meltdown at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. The radiation that spewed from the plant stranded more than 315,000 evacuees. In the years following the Fukushima disaster, tens of thousands of Japanese have taken to the streets to march in opposition to nuclear power. In the nearly three years since the disaster, the Fukushima cleanup and decommissioning efforts have been complicated by leaks of highly radioactive water. The effort has also suffered from a lack of oversight and a shortage of workers, which Reuters reports has led to Japan's homeless population being easy prey for recruiters. Following the disaster, Japan halted nearly all nuclear-related projects. However, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party reversed its campaign pledge to move Japan away from nuclear power just one week after coming into power in December 2012. Today, Japan's trade ministry said it would approve a revival plan for the utility responsible for the Fukushima nuclear disaster: Tokyo Electric Power Company. This will be the second attempt to restore the utility's depleted finances. We speak with David McNeill, a longtime foreign correspondent based in Japan who writes for The Independent of London, The Chronicle of Higher Education and other publications. McNeill is co-author of the book, "Strong in the Rain: Surviving Japan's Earthquake, Tsunami, and Fukushima Nuclear Disaster."
For Fukushima's Displaced, a Struggle to Recover Lives Torn Apart by Nuclear Disaster
We continue to look at the fallout from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant crisis in 2011 with a documentary about the former residents of Futaba, where the facility is located. "Nuclear Nation: The Fukushima Refugees Story" follows them in the first year after the disaster as they live communally in an abandoned school near Tokyo. Many mourn the loss of family members and their homes, and worry about the impact of radiation exposure on their health. We play excerpts from the film and are joined by director Atsushi Funahashi.

ArcelorMittal Foundation gives hope to families in Trinidad and Tobago
|Anita and her family receiving the key to their new home
Since becoming a partner of Habitat for Humanity, the ArcelorMittal Foundation has supported globally more than 700 families to have a safe, healthy and decent place to live.
In Trinidad and Tobago, Habitat for Humanity started working in 2011 in the city Valencia. This community is home to more than 700 residents. Many houses were built without observing safety standards. According to the Red Cross Trinidad&Tobago, more than 30 percent of them are in an inadequate condition. One of the main aims of the partnership between the ArcelorMittal Foundation and Habitat is to solve poverty housing within such communities.
Last year, Habitat Trinidad and Tobago launched a new project in the Eastern Corridor of Trinidad, working with a rural community which has traditionally depended on agriculture as its main source of income. Habitat's aim is to support 16 families with better housing and 32 families through training on their basic construction skills. Many low-income families applied; among them was Anita McPherson's family.
Anita, who is 70 years old, has lived for the past 33 years of her life in a ramshackle, two-room house with no electricity, rotted boards and a leaking roof. She shared it with her daughter Annalyn, 29 years old, and three grown sons. Anita is also helping to look after five grandchildren. Because of the unhealthy living conditions, her three-year old granddaughter was hospitalized with pneumonia. "This house will change my life," says Anita, referring to her new Habitat home. She recounts her grandchildren's frequent visits to the hospital and the illnesses of her close family members.
In March 2012, the ArcelorMittal Foundation organized the Solidarity Holidays, which brought 11 employees from around the world to join forces with 80 volunteers from the local branch of ArcelorMittal to work on the construction of two homes. One of the houses was finished by the end of the week, painted and handed over to Anita McPherson and her family in time to celebrate Mother's Day. The local ArcelorMittal also arranged a Health Fair for the community. The Family Planning Association was invited there to provide professional health services.
Throughout the year, the ArcelorMittal Foundation funded two new bases, three sanitation units, seven house completions, two repairs and two new houses in Trinidad and Tobago.

Manufacturer: Kuda
Model: Leather Flex Trail
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I purchased my saddle through PFL, a Kuda saddle dealer, in May 2010. My model with a suede patch seat cost $1230.
Likes: The Leather Flex Trail saddle does not have a hard tree, instead it has a tree made of leather and foam. It gives close contact and the soft seat comfort of a treeless saddle but you do not sit on the horse's spine. Also, your legs are not spread as wide as a treeless. The saddle is very secure as you sit in a pocket behind a rise to the pommel. The pommel is rigid and a great handle. I purchased the narrow pommel because I ride Paso Fino's but they come in three widths.
Dislikes: I am short and had the fenders cut shorter.
Quality: Beautiful, thick leather, well designed and has stainless hardware. I get many compliments on this saddle.
Summary: I have owned many brands and styles of saddle but this is my favorite by far! I sold other saddles to purchase a second Kuda Flex-Tree in the endurance style.

Need ideas for small-medium fragrant shrub
michelesullivanMarch 30, 2005
I am looking for 2 small-medium fragrant shrubs to plant in a sunny, well-drained location. They should be fairly compact in habit, not exceed 5 feet (or tolerate being trimmed to stay at that height) and hopefully be pretty or at least interesting in the fall and/or winter.
Any ideas?
