Winter King Hawthorn vs. Amelanchier 'Autumn Brilliance'
They both sound like beautiful trees and both fit the bill as far as size and culture requirements are concerned. I think it's a personal issue thing, but am looking for opinions.
Seems to me that the Hawthorn has more seasons of interest with the exfoliating bark, good fall color and persistent fruit.
What are your two cents?
I really don't have experience with 'Winter King' except that we planted two at the school and I can't say that they have done well ... however, who knows what has been done to them? It's at an elementary school.
However, we also planted two 'Autumn Brilliance' and they have done very well - but they are multi-stem and I imagine that if kids were messing with one or the other, they'd pick the single trunk tree.
I will say that if you're interested in them for wildlife (berries) then the Serviceberry is way more popular with birds. It also has very nice fall color and I haven't heard that about hawthorns in general.
I prefer the serviceberry due to the fall color and bird attraction but that's a personal opinion. Bird song goes under the "asset" category in my book. I'm just doing a new landscape and have 2 serviceberry cultivar and 3 Hawthorn, including winter king, on my list, but the hawthorn is on the "if there is room and I happen to run across one in a nursery" list.
Went shopping this weekend for s. Autumn Brilliance and could not find it anywhere but John Deer Landscaping. Theirs were quite large, $129 each, which is more than I can spend on a single plant considering how much I need. I bought 7 viburnums, more shrubs, two other trees, yada yada that day and haven made a dent in my wish list. Very nice specimens though. I'm going to try a few more places this week, travel further, if I find any I will post.

Conscience Night — A GameCell Recap
In which our GameCell crew meets in my house to discuss God, life, games, and how you keep a clean conscience. Then we play some hilarious videogames.
Tyler, Tim, and Greg snuck into my house a half-hour early to co-conspire: who does what? Tyler took Questioning. Tim opted for Text Master (Bible Reader). Greg took Game-Questioning. Alex Carter showed up and got the Introducer/Closer role (the guy who welcomes and prays over our time).
Garrett loves the Game Master role (the one who researches the games so everybody has an idea of what they're getting into). So he secured that same role. I set expectations. Vince showed up with snack. Everybody knew their place. Go time. Alex Carter kicked us off.
"Why don't you share your name and what season of life your'e in?" Alex asked.
Alex silently asked this question as he led by example: "Hi I'm Alex, I'm about to go into my final term in the Art Institute of York for graphic design." Vince, Greg, Tyler, Tim, Garrett and I shared where we're at in our schooling and careers just as Alex Hively showed up. Then Tyler dove into the first discussion question.
"Remember what we did last time?" Tyler asked.
Roberto and Vince were left in the dust. Greg and Garrett brought them up to speed: we called it "Filter Night" and talked about how to discern what's good or bad — but we focused most on how to find what is good. The standout hit game of the evening was Life Is Strange: Episode One. This was sort of a setup for the follow-up question:
"How did you feel about the F-bombs in the game, Life is Strange?" Tyler asked.
Greg, Tim, and Alex Carter responded with "It's not a big deal." Tyler confirmed that he felt it's just how some people talk. Since F-bombs are more of a common thing in videogame culture and online play, a lot of us mentioned how we kind of tune it out.
Roberto elaborated, "I wasn't there obviously. But for me, f-bombs in games come down to context. Like, I'm not gonna talk like that, but it doesn't bother me if it fits the character of the person talking, especially since most games are about people who aren't committed to a godly lifestyle"
"Do you try to keep a clear conscience when faced with messed-up stuff in games? If so, How?" Tyler asked.
Vince chimed in after a little silence. He talked about how having kids has affected how he thinks about what comics he gets and keeps on his shelf. But that he also thinks a lot about the overall theme and message of things. Vince's big thing was not to take media on as a part of him. It's a lot less a part of him and more of something he actively sorts out.
Tim went into Text Master mode:
"The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith." -1 Tim 1:5, NLT
I shared about how surprised I was that the Bible emphasized this value of keeping a clear conscience.
"Do you think God wants you to feel guilty?" Tyler asked.
Garrett gave a ton of great input on this. He made some points about how it's important to know when you do something wrong and guilt is part of the human experience to some degree. Alex Carter said that it's definitely something that would be bad if we didn't have when we do something wrong.
"Is guilt helpful for your conscience?" Tyler followed-up.
Vince backed up a bit and expressed that he's sure God doesn't want us to be trapped in guilt. Roberto unpacked that a bit with some personal experience of struggling to forgive himself. He emphasized how if he wallowed in guilt and didn't trust Jesus' grace and forgiveness, he could still be stuck back there. Vince agreed with this example and related.
Alex prayed over our time. Then we had snack.
Vince busted out a surprise birthday cookie for me. I wanted to take a picture. But our crew is a bunch of food-monsters. So it was mostly gone by the time we took the photo above.
Game time.
Roberto picked the first game as our esteemed New Guy. He picked Hardlander.
Roberto, Greg, Tyler, and Tim launched their little stubby rocket ships, only to quickly explode. Simple awkward physics-based controls ensured everybody crashed with a BANG! This high-failure rate made our crew laugh like hyenas.
Tyler's face turned beet red with a giant smile — and a few laughter-induced tears. Tim couldn't stop giggling. Roberto, the hardcore fighting game guy, never stopped smiling. Every time he flew his rocket ship, it resulted in him or somebody else exploding in a hot pile of wreckage. We commonly heard, "Whoa, no no no no no! BOOM!," followed by everybody busting up.
Nobody kept track of who won, because it barely mattered who was the last man standing. It was too funny to see each other crash while trying to maintain balance and control.
Our crew loved the Laser Tag level. Everybody launches with a giant death-laser on their ship's nose that triggers as they thrust. My favorite level was Sumo, where all players have to launch off a launch pad before it drops and everybody's left in a giant circle so nobody can play it safe by not launching.
Greg threw-out the conversation-linking question: "How does this game hit your conscience?" To which, our crew responded, "It was hilarious." Nobody expressed that it felt wrong in any way. They just loved the pure comedy of it.
Hardlander was an A+ couch multiplayer game for our crew despite only being an early and incomplete alpha on Desura.
Vince got picked as the next game-picker. He chose Mama Lynx Simulator, Shelter 2.
Vince immediately ran into a few game-bugs, frame rate issues, and weak controller support. But as we got those issues ironed out, he took to being a pregnant lynx right away. He took off running away from a pack of wolves and followed a maternal calling to a den. There he gave birth to a litter of lynx cubs. We named them as a group:
Vince got the the cubs settled and ventured out to hunt for lynx baby food: rabbits. Alex Hively noticed some bunnies out in the distance. And our crew worked with Vince to encourage him in the rabbit-chasing. Soon, he snagged a bunny and it went limp in his momma-lynx mouth. He brought it back to the cubs. They excitedly munched the bunny carcass and got the blood all over their little baby kitten paws. Aww!
We told Vince that the game had a lot to do with the pain of losing the babies. And he didn't want to risk losing Snake, Mr. T, Chewie, or Fart. So we changed games.
Greg asked "What's your gut/spiritual reaction to this game?" to link it to our discussion earlier. Somebody said that the game was a neat depiction of nature. And somebody else mentioned how all the killing was specifically about feeding your young, which was good.
Shelter 2 was a B+ game to watch Vince play, despite any technical issues.
Tim got next pick and wanted some crazy four-player mania. He picked the free Broforce /Expendables 3 tie-in, Expendabros.
Tim picked three co-op partners and soon found that four dudes on a highly-destructible map made it easy for them to lose a place to put their feet — especially if somebody was the bro with a grenade launcher. All the crazy fire power of these bros usually destroyed the bad guys the second they came on the screen. But quick one-hit deaths made our team of four need to work together and stay alive.
Garrett said he really loved the Jason Statham bro who rained knives on the enemies. And it was hilarious when Tim raised the American flag at the end of the level and Roberto jumped onto the helicopter while the whole level spontaneously exploded.
Lesson of the evening: explosions are funny.
Greg's question of "How does this hit your conscience?" led to answers that focused on the hilarity of cartoon death and accidentally killing your team mates by blowing them up with a mis-placed grenade.
Expendabros was an A+ four-player co-op game that's free on Steam.
With another fifteen minutes to spare, Roberto brought out Teken Tag Tournament 2. So we popped it in the PS3. But it seemed primed for a half-hour install.
Roberto saw it as an investment on next time.
I had a back-up bonus game from our last GameCell get-together: Paperbound.
We played a handful of rounds of this by-now classic couch brawler. And then we called it a night. As always, it was a super rich night of Kingdom exploration, videogames, and growing friendships.

West Bromwich Albion defender Jonas Olsson says he will treat the pre-season tour to the USA just like he does a Premier League season.
The Baggies are in action against MLS outfit San Jose Earthquakes in California tonight and the Swede says he will be up for the match as if it is a meeting in England's top flight.
"I always hear that the results aren't too important in pre-season. But everyone here, when they play a game, wants to win," he told Express & Star.
"If you ask the physical team and the medical team, they'll say it's about getting fitness. If you ask the gaffer, it's about getting the tactical things right.
"It is a training game so it's about getting all of those things – but you want a result as well. You always want a result.
"Personally, I don't think I can approach games or training in any other way than giving it my best and giving all I have.
"I don't think I have it in me to do it any other way."

Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign last night reported spending more than he raised over the past three months, and his campaign has less money available than some lower-tier Republican candidates.
Mr. McCain reported raising $11.6 million and spending $13.1 million between April 1 and June 30, and had $3.2 million cash on hand but was $1.8 million in debt. That places him far below the resources of the top two candidates, former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and even below Rep. Ron Paul, Texas Republican, whose campaign raised $2.4 million and has $2.4 million cash on hand without any debt.
Other than Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Romney and Mr. Paul, the rest of the Republican field suffered a rough quarter, with most exceeding or coming close to spending more than they raised during the period. That indicates they will have a difficult time remaining competitive in a long-haul campaign that still has six months before the first convention delegate is won.
Reports for the period from April through June were due to the Federal Election Commission by midnight.
Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy G. Thompson each reported spending more than they raised during the second quarter, with Mr. Thompson's campaign falling into the red when his debt is matched against his available cash. Faring better is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose income slightly exceeded his spending.
Former Virginia Gov. James S. Gilmore III, a Republican, also spent more than he raised, ending more than $60,000 in the red. Mr. Gilmore dropped out of the race Saturday, a day before he filed his report.
That suggests an opening for former Sen. Fred Thompson, who is flirting with a campaign. Polls show he would instantly join former Mr. Romney and Mr. Giuliani at the top of the Republican pack.
On the Democratic side, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's fundraising and frugal spending continue to push him into the second tier, along with former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. With more than $7 million raised last quarter, Mr. Richardson put distance between himself and others such as Sen. Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut and Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, two candidates with long resumes similar to his.
"This is more proof that the governor's focus on grass-roots campaigning — shaking hands, attending house parties and community events, working tirelessly to meet voters — is working," said Amanda Cooper, Mr. Richardson's deputy campaign manager.
Mr. Richardson said he does not think he will need to raise as much money as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York or Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, both Democrats and the two top fundraisers among either party, who have topped $20 million per quarter both times this year.
Both Mr. Biden and Mr. Dodd spent more than they raised, though Mr. Biden still has $2.8 million cash on hand and Mr. Dodd has $6.4 million to spend.
Mr. Edwards raised $9.1 million during the period, and reported $13.3 million cash on hand, nearly $3 million more than his last report three months ago. That means Mr. Edwards also is raising money faster than he is spending it, putting him in solid shape for the next six months.

I've been using 80 column terminals as well as setting the text width/wrapping in vim to 80 for years. Is this this still a good default or should I bump it up when writing new Ruby code?
Ruby sources seems to stick to 80 with a few exceptions. However, it seems most gems are beyond 80.
What do you guys prefer? Is there a standard that should be followed, like the two-space indentations.

Tonight's honoree demonstrates each of these core principals every single day through his leadership of JHM Hotels, his service to the industry and his continued dedication to the school," said Johnson, noting Rama completed the MMH program in 1996 and remains involved with the school via the Leland C. and Mary M. Pillsbury Institute for Hospitality Entrepreneurship and as president of the Cornell Hotel Society of South Carolina.
Rama, whose family entered the hospitality industry in the 1970s, said the "award represents the realization of the American dream and the ability to reach higher levels through aspiration and education….At Cornell, my aim was to learn and absorb as much as I could, like a sponge, because I aspired to take our company, JHM Hotels, to the highest level."
JHM Hotels currently has 42 hotels in its portfolio representing some 7,000 rooms with product from Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide, Hyatt and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc.

"Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys bring new life to bluegrass. Outstanding vocals along with exceptional musical chops will keep you wanting more." — Dave Bruzza of Greensky Bluegrass
"Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys are a fresh new voice in modern bluegrass, with driving instrumentals and a straight-from-the-still quality to Lindsay's voice...If you're a fan of broad-based bluegrass with a strong infusion of creativity and intelligence, Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys is a band you definitely need to check out." — Bluegrass Unlimited
"Lindsay & the Flatbellys were AWESOME. I had so much fun last night. Next time they are in town or passing through PLEASE let me know. I love their sound loved their show just simply WOW." — Michelle Lee, On The Bluegrass Borderline
"Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys and I (as well as 40,00 listeners) had a splendid afternoon on KPFA yesterday. What an amazing singer - bluesy, blowsy, provocative, a rich smoky alto. I can't say enough about her totally unique and entertaining style." — Ray Edlund, KPFA
"Sometimes, the vocalist's prowess is enough to elevate a band from the ranks of their contemporaries. But it's not just Lindsay Lou's vocals that will make Release Your Shrouds the latest addition to your music collection. The tight-knit lyrics and infectious joy in The Flatbellys' songs will make you stop whatever you're doing and cock an ear. The band's skill is breath-taking, and it's obvious through their playing that there is nothing they'd rather do more than come together and make music." — Rachel, Adobe and Teardrops
"This is a very unique band, part of the leading edge of the revival and revolution in acoustic music..Imagine hearing Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs for the first time after years and years of clawhammer banjo at barn dances. In come these two guys in hats and ties and set the barn on fire. You fall backwards off the hay bale and can barely breathe... Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys are kinda' like that the first time you hear them." — John Hart, New Folk Radio
"Lindsay really puts her heart into what she sings and how! She sings the way you would want to if'n you could. Phrasing, tone, emotion, it's all there. Effortless seemingly. Simply mesmerizing. Riveting! Don't miss the musical force that is Lindsay Lou." — David Grier
"Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys - an intersection of sparkly new songs and robust instrumental licks, with a nod to the roots of tradition. Great music from great people! Go see them as soon as possible." — Jeff Rose, Detour Bluegrass
"Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys are an ideal festival band. They can rock the stages with their heartfelt, rootsy sound and offer wonderful workshops as well as invigorate campground and campfire song circles. At the Earthwork Harvest Gathering this year, they were a favorite of the attendees because of their fantastic performances, and they were also a favorite of the festival organizers because they pitched in with volunteer work and spread music and good cheer the whole time they were here." — Seth Bernard, Earthwork Music
"Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys have jumped into the forefront of today's progressive roots music movement." — Devon Leger, Prescription Bluegrass
"The tight-knit lyrics and infectious joy in the Flatbellys' songs will make you stop whatever you're doing and cock an ear." — Adobe and Teardrops music blog
"...pretty much irresistible, and while that's partly because of the high-spirited virtuosity of the pickers, most of the credit goes to the irrepressible Lindsay Rilko, whose singing manages to be simultaneously gentle and vivacious, rootsy and swinging. Bluegrass is the touchstone genre here, but Rilko and her cohorts veer off cheerfully into swing and rockabilly as well. This one is guaranteed to leave a smile on your face." — CD Hotlist
Words can barely describe how very impressed and thoroughly entertained we all were! Had a really good turnout and they had us riveted to our seats." — Betty Trowbridge, Black Hawk Folk Society
Lindsay Lou && the Flatbellys' "music, whilst steeped in American roots has a contemporary twist that brings brightness and originality to their sound. Familiar threads of swing jazz, pre-war American music and progressive bluegrass are at the core but with this they bring a sophistication to their arrangements that make them so ear catching." — Folk Rado UK
"If you are looking for ancient and soulful tones with a modern rootsy twist, that is exactly what you'll find when listening to Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys. Putting on their CD it reminds me of listening to an old 45 RPM. Each song is unique, entertaining, and flows easily into the listener's ears. Lindsay and the boys will surely win your heart!" — Caroline Colie, Acoustic Trail
"Lindsay Lou, backed by the Flatbellys, dishes up a style of Americana with a powerful vocal style that recalls Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday." — The Lansing City Pulse
"As a vocalist, Lindsay falls into an elite category - those who can sing anything you throw their way. I've known and have been fortunate to have worked with a few of these individuals over the years: Charlie Waller, Keith Whitley, Linda Williams & Moondi Klein, to name a few and attribute that association to my having developed into a more well-rounded player. Lindsay will have that effect on the players around her as well, while she is honing her already sharp vocal skills and recording new material which should please any 'well-rounded listener'. Check her out and you'll hear for yourself what I'm saying!" — Jimmy Gaudreau
"Once in awhile you hear a record and think 'This couldn't be new. It sounds timeless.' When I hear Lindsay Lou sing and the Flatbellys play, I am transported to another time. Lindsay's voice is among the most beautiful, authentic, and classic sounding you will ever hear." — John Bommarito, WQKL
On their new album, Ionia, blazing hot Michigan roots ensemble Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys rest on the cusp of change, poised at that moment where everything shifts into high gear and time rushes forward. As a tight-as-hardwood stringband, these ace players know how to sustain this moment expertly, relishing the tension between the past, which keeps pulling them backwards, and the future they're about to rush into. You can hear this tension musically on their new album, especially on the leading song Hot Hands, which rabbits playfully between off meters, rapid-fire picking, stop-and-go bass lines, and steamy vocals that surge back and forth. There's incredible kinetic motion in this music, a sense of movement so exacting and precise that it's almost architectural.
Over the course of four days during a Michigan autumn, Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys holed up in their home to record their new album. Gathered in a circle, aound one microphone, forcing them to lean closer and closer, blending vocals and instruments organically, and to listen with the kind of musical precision that's all too rare these days. "We didn't leave the house for those four days except to walk around the block and get some air", Lindsay explains. "Fall in Michigan is something to behold. Some of our favorite moments were standing on the big wrap around porch (pictured on the album cover) and watching the rain come down in sheets taking gusts of orange and yellow leaves with it." Holed up against the elements, Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys turned to each other for support, and this closeness is easily evident in the uncommon depth and sensitivity of their ensemble playing.
Listen to the new album from Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys and you'll hear a band at the very top of its game. A band uncommonly attuned to each other, the product of near-constant touring and live shows made legend by their infectious, high-energy performances. Performing live, the Flatbellys delight in swapping instruments back and forth, and this is preserved on the album as well, with each band member taking turns on each other's instruments. There's a great sense of play and warmth in their music as well — just listen to the fantastically sarcastic Criminal Style or the lovely housewarming song House Together — no doubt bolstered by long car rides and a strong camaraderie between the band members. But much of the power of this interplay comes from the impressive mastery each member shows over their instruments. Mandolinist Joshua Rilko picks with a careful precision that turns surprising when he slams into speedy power chords, dobro player Mark Lavengood is remarkably deft at matching melody lines with quick responses, and bassist PJ George creates bass lines cleverly crafted to uphold the whole structure of the songs. Leading the group, Lindsay Lou has the kind of voice you can get lost in. One part jazz singer, effortlessly transitioning octaves, one part blues shouter, soaring over the band like a clarion call, and one part folk singer, rousing them all together in song.
The instruments and the bedrock of the band may come from bluegrass, but the music that Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys present on their new album Ionia can best be described as Americana. This is music that's caught between the pull of the past and the push of the beckoning future, ready to leap forward bursting with new ideas and youthful energy.

Tuberous begonias, fall care
I know from skimming your posts that you guys on this forum are used to more exotic begonias, but maybe you can point me to a FAQ somewhere.
I have Non-stop Begonias in containers outside. Do I lift them after a killing frost? How do I store them? They were very slow to sprout and bloom. I think when I planted them it was too cold outside (May?). I think it was more than a month until I got sprouts, so now they have not been blooming for that long. I assume this kind needs a dormant period, so there would be no advantage to bring the pots inside for winter? I don't have room for all, would have to pick and choose.
Assuming the tubers make it through the winter, how to I start them next spring to get faster bloom? I have very little indoor window space. Can they be started in something small (like a peat pot) then tranplanted into the outdoor containers?
Thanks for your help!
It's been too many years since I lived in a climate where I could grow tuberous begonias, but since you've gone this long without an answer I'll try. If you can bring yours in to a brightly lighted area you could probably get bloom for awhile yet, especially since they started late. It would be best, I think, to let them die down naturally (which isn't very decorative!) rather than let the frost do it. Then you can shake off the soil and store them cool in dry peat moss. In the spring, a month or so before it's time to put them out, pot them up, (small pots are fine) and put them in a warm place. I used to start them on top of the refrigerator--light isn't necessary until they sprout. Even back in the dark ages when I was growing them, I put them under fluorescent lights if I didn't have any more window space. Now with the bulbs that can be screwed into any fixture it's much easier to light an unusued corner. If pot growers can use closets, why can't we?!
My tuberous begonias are in hanging pots. This is their first year and they are lovely. Took a while for them to bloom but even though its October they are flourishing. Do I have to remove the tubers to 'winter' them or can I just take the foliage off when it dies back and leave the tubers in the pots in a cool place indoors? Thanks
This is what I do:
Dig the tuber out before a hard frost, brush off most of the dirt and lay the tuber on a piece of newspaper in the basement for a week or so to let it dry off.
Then I put them in a covered box in a cool dark dry corner of the basement for the winter.
By February you will see little pink sprouts. Those that are really light in weight probably didn't make it. In March I pot them up in pots and put them in a sunny warm place.
By mid May you can transplant them to their summer locations (depending on your spring).
I have a unfinished basement,so I just take down my begonias,and hang them on a nail that I pounded into side of rafter(the 2x8 that suspends the floor of upstairs),let them dry down on their own,in dark area,with no windows.then in spring about April I bring them up,water and place in full sunny spot(.they never leave the pots)if we're still having night frost,I will bring them in overnight then take out to sunny spot again in morning......very seldom do I loose a plant,some I have over wintered for 5 years or more.....good luck,.........sunset
I do...almost..the same as Aphrodite....I've removed them now...frost had visited...but not too hard a frost, just enough to wilt the foliage.
Lifted, cleaned of soil with fingers, dried for a day or so in the garage, then down into my coldcellar until February.
But then, I put them into a covered seed pot, and place them (4 in each pot) ontop of the refrigerator for about 6 weeks. At that time, having roots formed, they go into 4" pots until transferred to a clay pot out of doors in late May.
I've found this routine my most successful way of obtaining good returns.
Diane, what's a seed pot? Is that just a very small pot? I'm a little confused. I assumed you meant small until I read, "4 in each pot"! And on top of the refrigerator is because of the warmth? Mine started so slow this year! If that gives them a boost I'll try it. Do you water them too or wait to see growth?
Linnea, I just knew I was going to be asked that..I was hoping a reader would know what I was talking about.
Its the long plastic container that is for starting seeds in....you know, has a plastic clear cover so light can penetrate.
That's what I use....4 tubers in each of two I use.
The refrigerator is a good place to start bulbs and seeds since the heat given off is just perfect for their initial start. anyway, for 5 or 6 weeks I leave them there and they develop roots ....slow but sure.
Then into 4" pots where they go into a south-west facing window where they stay until they go outsiee into a 8" clay pot.
I keep them watered as needed. Its worked for the past two years and I get marvellous bloom....albeit late in the season.
Jan, sorry about the time interval, I've just been lazy about returning to the site. Right now, in my living room window I have two fibrous begonias saved from a window box...and its now been about 6 weeks they have lasted there......in bloom.
I don't expect them to continue for very long in the bloom stage. Whether they can be "saved" as I do my geraniums and tuberous begonia has yet to be proved. Last year I did the same thing and when I went to retrieve my others in February, the fibrous did not come back as I had hoped.
I have seen reference to the fibrous being saved as I have NOW...in a western exposure window....but I haven't seen anybody suggesting they will act the same as geranium.
One plant that is supposed to act the same is "coleus".
With the new colorful versions of coleus available this is the one plant I think many will try to winter over...either in flower or otherwise.
If you have a cool place to store the plant....possibly in the pot, maybe you will have better luck. I always use the "what if" approach. It ties up space in my coldcellar sometimes I think could be better used for something else.....but what the hey....
Yes you are too late. Don't force tuberous begonias to go dormant now. I have started my begonias, it's Spring! My guess is that you should refresh their soil gently if needed. Old soil breaks down to fine particles and doesn't drain well. Fertilize them when it's warm enough for them to grow. Mine are under lights and getting light feedings when I water. When it is time to pot them up I will use a time release fertilizer in the soil. If you're an organic guy, blood and bone meal instead.
Going dormant is an advantage for plant and gardener to take a break. Dormancy allows a plant to make it through the dry or cold season. I think they will bloom this summer and you can get on schedule with allowing dormancy next fall.
You should start your own post instead of using this old post. You're are likely to hear form more people.

We were completely satisfied with our accommodation and would use it again if Jeff and Simon would have us.
Jeff was super understanding when I told him that I need one more room for another employee that was coming to London. Everything was sorted super quick, i was given a reply immediately, my colleague was happy with her stay, and we both want to thank Jeff!
We would definitely book with him again and would highly recommend Jeff's place to anyone who wants a place to central London and super nice host!
Thank you Jeff
Second year in a row that I have stayed with Jeff and Simon. Just like last year, the visit could not have gone better.
Their place is beautiful and they are very gracious hosts. The house is located near the Tube with several quite good restaurant options nearby.
Do yourself a favor and quit looking at other options. This is the place to stay.
I could not asked for better hosts. It was my first time to London and I needed all the help and assistance that they provided. The place is really first class. I felt like I was in an upscale Hotel.
Jeff and Simon are so nice and welcoming. Their house is amazing, I appreciate every detail :) The detailed help they give could not be better! They truly made my stay better. You do have to walk everywhere in London and they are close to the London Eye and Southbank, which is awesome. Highly recommended :)
Hosts were very helpful and friendly. The room was just as in the pictures- Large, clean and comfortable. Great bathroom.
House is in a convenient location with easy access to several lines of public transportation. Would definitely stay here again.

Umbilical HerniaSome babies have a weakness or small opening in the abdominal wall muscles around the belly button that lets a bit of the intestinal tissue protrude when they cry or cough.
Peak age: Often present at birth but may not become apparent until later -- coughing or straining may cause it to stick out more. More common in premature, low-birth-weight, female, and African-American babies.
What to do: Most cases that appear before 6 months heal on their own by 12 to 18 months. No special home care is needed -- the folklore treatment of binding the infant's abdomen won't help heal the hernia and could be harmful if it's done too tightly. But call the doctor if your baby seems to have severe abdominal pain; surgery may be needed, especially if the hernia is getting bigger at 1 to 2 years old, says Regina Milteer, M.D., a pediatrician at Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children, in Falls Church, Virginia.

Running out of space can destroy hours of labor. Yes, you should lay out all the components before ordering the box, but sometimes you have last minute additions. Maybe you have limits on wall space to mount the enclosure. Larger enclosures cost more, even if you have the space.

The merger of Kraft and Heinz could pave the way for future food mergers, but dealmaking will likely dip in the near term, analysts tell CNBC.» Read More
Earnings from Kellogg and Colgate-Palmolive show a slowdown in consumer spending and what one CEO called a "deflationary environment."
Traders as well as Fast Money friends have revealed some of their top trading ideas for the second half of 2010.
Here are the stocks they are buying now.
But it's the source of the money that matters to stocks, Cramer says.
Now that the S&P closed below 1040, a former level of support, are we looking at a sharp drop?
Kellogg is voluntarily recalling about 28 million boxes of Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks cereals because an unusual smell and flavor from the packages' liners could make people ill, the company said Friday.
Most bank stocks were higher on Friday after Congress reached a deal on financial reform. Nick Kalivas, vice president of financial research at MF Global and Jim Meyer, CIO and co-founder of Tower Bridge Advisors offered their insights—and 14 favorite stocks.
But is that what Cramer thinks? Read on to find out.

The Bell Block man who quite righty is forcing a referendum on a Maori ward in New Plymouth has chosen Waitangi Day 2015 as the deadline for signing his petition. Hugh Johnson has already gathered 3895 signatures to force a public vote on New Plymouth District's Maori ward ambitions for the 2016 and 2019 elections. He needed just 2749 signatures and could present the petition to the council now, but wants to reach 4500 before handing it in. Well Done Hugh.
Maori Ward Petition deadline has been set
Road Changes for Emergency Services attending Call Outs in Bell Block
Since Thursday 15th January 2015, the layout at the Waiwhakaiho intersection was changed in a bid to minimise delays for emergency services attending callouts north of the bridge. The new route allows emergency services to use the existing right hand turn lane on Devon Street East to access SH3. The turning lane is now closed to non-emergency vehicles, the traffic island reshaped and new line markings and flexible posts put in until additional changes are added to create the final layout.As we reported last week Queens Rd has also been closed, between State Highway 3 and the railway line, and will be reopened when the new Waiwhakaiho bridge is installed in June 2015. Night work at the Mangorei Rd intersection is also planned from now until April 2015.
Bell Block Motorist's face delays for next 12 months
Bell Block Motorists driving through the Waiwhakaiho road works in New Plymouth have been hit with some delays as road changes took effect from Monday 12 January 2015. The first day went very smoothly with just the one crash,a car crossing the centre line and hitting another another vehicle at 5am Monday morning. While everyone involved walked away uninjured, both cars were moderately damaged. The layout alteration is one of three changes brought into effect in the past week as work progresses on the multimillion-dollar Vickers to City project due to be completed in early 2016.

Bell Block Anglican's see Christmas arrive at Taranaki Cathedral
A 95% full Taranaki Cathedral, which is New Zealand's Oldest Stone Church, saw many Bell Block people come along to Christmas Eve's Midnight Mass to re-enforce the true meaning of Christmas. Held in what could only be called very warm and unusually humid weather conditions. We thought about the loss of Christ from Christmas and we experienced sadness at "happy holiday" cards replacing Christmas cards, and songs about Santa and reindeer replacing songs and carols about the birth of Jesus, angels and shepherds."We too often get caught in the paraphernalia of peripheral things – of food, drink and presents – and forget that the heart of the matter is the birth of Jesus." "In all the Christmas rush, we tend to forget the one present that is the original reason for all the present giving – the present of Jesus, called the Christ."
Christmas Service for Bell Block's Catholics
Christmas Mass for Bell Block's followers of the Catholic faith is at 10.30am Christmas Day 25th December 2014 at the Bell Block Catholic Centre, 138 Parklands Avenue, Bell Block.

Bell Block Library miss's the Axe
Last night, Tuesday 16th December 2014, the New Plymouth District Council voted line-by-line on a list of 23 services that had to be axed to cap rate rises at 3 per cent for the next decade. Murray Chong who was suffering from wearing his neck-tie too tight also argued in favour of closing the Bell Block Library. In one comment he showed a total brain fade as he said Bell Block now had a Warehouse where people could buy books, or they could travel to New Plymouth and use the town library. Many things, like community funding, were deemed to be luxuries. "We can't afford to give away money," councillor Grant Coward said. "We are not a charity." Next minute the New Plymouth District Councilors turned around and voted 8-5 in favor of the Lyn Lye Centre being kept as admission free. For the record the Multi- Purpose and very busy Bell Block Library will remain open in North Taranaki's fastest growing Community.
Justice of the Peace Service now operates in Bell Block

Albany, NY – As we peruse the drug store for a Mother's Day card that will convey just the right mix of humor, thoughtfulness, and sap, it's easy to loose sight of why we celebrate Mother's Day in the first place.
Today, essayist Hedi McKinley reminds us to honor our mothers this Sunday and every day of the year.
