Great people to work with and for. I really enjoyed my work. Lots of opportunity to excel and shine ans an employee.
Strict adherence to a scheduling system that needs a MASSIVE update. I didn't get enough room in my schedule to work with school.
Change the scheduling system. Give more leeway and have a little understanding for each employee.

I worked at Caesars Entertainment full-time (more than a year)Pros
Very easy way to earn an income doing nothing at all. Keep your mouth shut and you will coast for many years, earning a better than average salary because after all, if you aren't doing much of anything aren't you getting paid for nothing? Don't complain, it could be worse. Enjoy it while you can and collect the check.Cons
You will lose more skills working at Caesars within the IT group than not. Management has great ideas (through discussions) that never seem to materialize. Instead, you are filled with false promises that can never become reality. Education is lacking and non-technical managers and directors are leading the organization into a downward spiral. Management cares more about feedback and reviews regarding their performance than anything else. Anyone who joins the team, with any intelligence at all, will not stick around. These problems exist because of the existing executive management within the IT Organization. Nepotism is a huge problem at Caesars especially within the IT department. What is sad is the person at the top bringing in the talent doesn't realize the talent is mediocre at best. The following people need toAdvice to ManagementAdvice
Fire the dead weight and hire real talent that will perform, but more importantly, will be allowed to perform. That starts at the top and works it's way down into the trenches. Build down, not up because building it the other way has historically failed you. Look at how many great people have walked out of your company over the past year.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

|Recchi: Claude's not going anywhere
|02.04.10 at 11:26 pm ET
Even in good times, Mark Recchi has been around long enough to know that no hockey coach has security – let alone when you've lost nine straight and are falling out of the playoff picture.
Still, the veteran Bruins forward doesn't think Claude Julien is going anywhere and he made that clear following Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to Montreal at TD Garden.
Recchi pointed to the Carolina Hurricanes that got hot at the end of last season, a team that eliminated the Bruins in the second round of the playoffs in seven games.
He also used last year's Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins as an example, noting they went on a tear after they let their coach go. But he quickly realized what he said and clarified himself.
"Claude ain't going anywhere," Recchi said. "He's a great coach. But it's there and we're right there and if we keep playing like this, then that could happen. We could get on a big run."
|With a lack of offense, Julien gets defensive
|02.04.10 at 10:55 pm ET
Claude Julien just watched his team take 47 shots on net and score twice in 65 minutes, including a 4-on-3 power play in overtime and a scoreless shootout. All of this on top of 42 shots on Tuesday night that resulted in just one goal in a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
The Bruins coach was had seen enough. And when he was asked whether three goals in 89 shots and nine straight losses means his team was no better than average, Julien responded.
"We believe we have a better-than-average hockey team," Julien said. "I think our team was pretty good tonight. I'm not going to stand here and say we're a bad team. Absolutely not."
Click here to hear Julien's response in Thursday's postgame presser following a 3-2 shootout loss to Montreal.
|Slumping Bruins: 'We have to win sooner or later'
|02.03.10 at 3:04 pm ET
Three of the most prominent leaders on the Bruins are sounding the same theme ' wins are right around the corner.
The problem is the Bruins have to turn the corner first. On Wednesday, they got back to practice in Belmont and the business of pounding the pavement ' or ice ' and looking for the positive street signs ahead.
But Zdeno Chara, Marc Savard and Tim Thomas all believe in their hearts that their current eight-game skid ' the team's longest in 54 seasons ' will soon be a thing of the past.
'We always can get going and find a way to motivate ourselves," said Chara, who has been playing with a dislocated left pinkie finger that will likely need surgery in the offseason, according to ESPN. "We have to put this one behind us and there's a new day tomorrow. We just have to get ready for the next game and keep trying. We have to win sooner or later.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Julien: 'We deserved the win if we scored the goals'
|02.02.10 at 10:54 pm ET
It seemed very innocent and obvious when Bruins coach Claude Julien gave his team credit for battling the hottest and best team in the NHL to a 1-1 draw after two periods. After watching his team surrender three in the third, it became nothing more than another in a string of eight straight losses, 4-1 to Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
In short, Julien said they deserved the win on Tuesday night "if we had scored some goals." Julien believed his team could have been up, 4-1, after two instead of tied.
And of course, deserving the win and earning the win is a bridge these struggling Bruins have yet to cross.
Here is what Julien had to say for his troops following Tuesday's setback, an eighth straight loss that gave them their longest losing skid in 54 seasons.
|B's need to be two-timers
|01.31.10 at 2:35 am ET
BOSTON — Patrice Bergeron stood before reporters with a very somber face in front of his locker following Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings at TD Garden.
Good reason.
His Bruins, despite getting back the services of Marco Sturm and Steve Begin, still couldn't find a way to hold a 2-1 third period lead and fell in a shootout. Yes, the Bruins captured one point but as Bergeron pointed out afterward, when you've now lost seven in a row and six straight at home for the first time in 85 years, that one point seems of extremely little consolation.
"Tonight was a good effort but we've got to find a way to get those two points," Bergeron said. "We kept having some chances. We scored a goal, on the power play. I don't think they were all over us with that 2-1 but they found a way to come back and tie it."
Bergeron's take on the 3-2 shootout which still leaves the Bruins on the outside looking in at the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said the team is coming around.
Marco Sturm talked afterward about his first outing in seven games as he returned from a leg injury.
|Thornton, Sobotka make way for Sturm, Begin
|01.30.10 at 7:49 pm ET
BOSTON — The Bruins welcomed their leading goal scorer back to action on Saturday night when Marco Sturm strode onto the TD Garden ice against the Los Angeles Kings.
He missed the last six games with a leg injury, taking his 15 goals with him.
Steve Begin also returned after missing the last five games with a lower body injury. Shawn Thornton and Vladimir Sobotka were healthy scratches to make room on the 20-man game roster.
Thornton, with just one goal in 50 games, and Sobotka (4g, 3a in 43 games) have been very disappointing in their production as forwards and the Bruins are in desperate need of a jump-start to their offense. Entering Saturday, they had an NHL-low 128 goals.
But some of the focus before the game was on those injured Bruins who recently returned – namely Patrice Bergeron and Marc Savard.
"Patrice has been good for us all year," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "It hasn't been an issue at all with him. He's been our most reliable player from day one."
To Julien's point, the Bruins are 15-5-3 when Bergeron scores or records an assist. Bergeron entered Saturday with 21 assists, second on the team to Zdeno Chara's 25.
Savard returned on Friday after missing eight games with a knee injury. He had an assist in the 2-1 loss at Buffalo. The team is 11-3-1 when he records a point in a game. Read the rest of this entry »
|Bruins got shafted but…
|01.22.10 at 11:13 am ET
The Bruins had all the reason in the world to feel they got shafted on Thursday night.
And that shaft belonged to one Anton Stralman, who clipped his teammate Derick Brassard with his stick. But, as everyone knows by now – including the officials – it was Milan Lucic who was incorrectly penalized with a four-minute high-sticking call.
The subsequent power play led to R.J. Umberger re-directing Stralman's shot past Tuukka Rask for the deciding goal in a 3-2 heart-breaking loss to Columbus.
But after Bruins coach Claude Julien and his staff were given an apology by supervisor of officials Mick McGeough following the game, there was a sense that the officials' error could have been easily mitigated if only the Bruins could somehow put away a last-place team on their home ice.
That was the focus of several players – including Lucic afterward.
Here's what they had to say:
Lucic said the third-period must be a time to put away the competition and the Bruins aren't.
Blake Wheeler said solving the third-period dilemma must be a priority.
Patrice Bergeron said it's simple – Bruins need to bury their chances when they get them.
Julien pointed to David Krejci missing an open net early in the third period as a turning point.
After getting an apology from referee supervisor, Julien said it was just human error that led to Lucic call.
Julien was asked if instant replay, like in the NFL, would have helped the Bruins.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHui Qiao Hotel Beijing
This place is alright I guess. I've stayed here twice now only because the company I work for, Teach and Travel China (TTC) paid for it. I would not stay here if I had to pay for it. They have free internet in the rooms but that's about the only good thing about this place. They advertise an in-door pool but that's not true and I thought it had a bad smell about the place. I woke up with a headache everyday.

It worked out cheaper for us to get a transit visa for maximum of 72 hours (which is why we went to Seoul) but our flight times were were 25 minutes over this.

NBA Season Preview: Indiana Pacers
Dec 15, 2011, 10:35 AM EDT
2010-11 record: 37-45
Head Coach: Frank Vogel
Key Departures: Josh McRoberts, T.J. Ford, Mike Dunleavy Jr.
Key Additions: David West, George Hill
Best case scenario: The Pacers build on their spirited 1st round performance against the Bulls, seamlessly integrate David West and George Hill into their frontcourt and backcourt, they run a lot of pick-and-pop with those two and ride the momentum Indy began to accumulate at the end of last season into at least one playoff series win.
Danny Granger reminds everyone why he was once thought of as one of the NBA's best pure scorers and most underrated players.
More likely scenario: The Pacers do their best and win more games than they lose in the regular season, but end up not quite having enough talent or enough defensive chemistry to get past teams like the Celtics, the Heat, the Bulls, or even the Knicks or Magic in the first round, and lose a heartbreaking 1st-round series in 6 or 7 games. Then Larry Bird retires.
Prediction: 35-38 wins
- djanarchy757 - Dec 15, 2011 at 10:49 AM
Looking a little brighter for the Pacers this season but the Mayo trade would have made it a little brighter….Go Pacers!!!
- edmazeing1 - Dec 15, 2011 at 12:41 PM
I would trade T.J Ford & a second round pick to get Hill back with the Spurs, this man came with heart evertime he steped on the court!!!
- travisatisu - Dec 15, 2011 at 1:13 PM
man, TJ Ford AND a 2nd rounder?! What an offer!
- edmazeing1 - Dec 15, 2011 at 5:48 PM
Sure why not!!!
- dirksimmons - Dec 16, 2011 at 2:16 AM
Dude George Hill is the real deal. The Pacers are looking better and better this year. And David West is a beast if he can stay healthy. I think these moves potentially move them up to the 5th seed, behind Chicago, Miami, Boston, and New York.

Its only debt based money that is the problem.
Submitted by yoshinator on Tue, 05/01/2012 - 16:24. Permalink
Look at the phenomenon of Bitcoin. It doesn't even exist as a physical thing but people are using as a means of exchange and right now a bitcoin is worth over 5 USDs. I think Gold money is much better than what we have now which is debt based money however, I don't think that we have to be so harsh on Bill Still. He does make very valid points and his documentaries are very informative. As a matter of fact The Money Masters was what first introduced to Ron Paul. I watched the money masters and then I said what the hell is this Federal Reserve thing and who opposes it. And I ended up with Ron Paul as my man of choice for president and leader of this country.

Delta Volanis Anomalies crashing
A couple days ago I started experiencing crashes when doing the Anomolies in the Delta Volanis sector. Sometimes it crashes as it's loading the anomaly, and sometimes it loads fine but crashes when trying to beam down to a planet within the anomaly. I say sometimes because I've succeeded in finishing 2 anomalies out of maybe 10 attempts. Trying to get the 3rd one to finish the mission.. lol.
Every time it does crash the launcher scans the game files.

Sacramento City Council faces another arena vote
The Sacramento City Council tonight faces another key vote on the funding of a $391 million downtown sports arena. This decision, however, comes with a new layer of uncertainty, and a rising level of frustration among council members.
So what happens tonight?
City staffers are asking to move forward with crucial pre-development tasks for the arena, some of which are scheduled to start Wednesday morning.
What's the uncertainty and frustration about?
According to a nonbinding term sheet, the city is supposed to commit $6.5 million for pre-development work, the Kings $3.2 million, and arena operator AEG another $3.2 million. The Kings balked, saying they never agreed to contribute to the pre-development work.
To keep the process moving, NBA Commissioner David Stern stepped in to front $200,000 of the Kings' share. That $200,000 is all that would be spent over the next two weeks. The council is not being asked to kick in city money until the dispute is settled.
What if the council doesn't like that arrangement?
Any "no" vote by the council at this point likely derails the arena project. Insiders at City Hall still think tonight's vote will pass, but not without some pointed comments aimed at the Maloofs.
Speaking of the Maloofs, why is the family that owns the Kings balking?
The Maloofs have pledged $73 million toward arena construction. But co-owner George Maloof said last week none of the team's money should go toward pre-development costs, because the team is a tenant, not the building's owner and developer. His family also opposes a requirement that it reimburse AEG its $3.2 million in pre-development expenses if the deal falls through for any reason other than the fault of AEG.
Are the Kings trying to back out of the deal?
Maloof said the family is still committed to getting an arena built. The dispute, however, has fueled concerns at City Hall about whether the Maloofs will have the financial capacity and willingness to see the project through to the end. It's started to conjure up memories of the failed sales tax Measures Q and R of 2006, when the Maloofs backed out of an arena financing plan.
Why has the NBA stepped in?
Despite past failed attempts, Stern says he wants a new arena in Sacramento that allows the Kings to stay. He was personally involved in the negotiations over the project's financial plan in Orlando, Fla., in February, when he helped seal the deal by saying the league was prepared to assist in the arena financing process. The fact that he quickly stepped in last week with the league's checkbook has eased some fears at City Hall.
How does this situation get resolved?
It's unclear, but next week will be interesting. Stern said he will take the matter up with the league owners at their annual meeting in New York. Will he ask owners for permission to cover the Maloofs' share of the pre-development costs? Will he solicit other owners' help in arm-twisting the Maloofs?
Stern's representatives aren't talking. City officials say they don't know what Stern has in mind.
Is it time for the mayor to reconnect with Ron Burkle, the billionaire who said he'd be willing to buy the team if the Maloofs want out?
The mayor continues to say he is trying to make a deal work now with the Maloofs, who have repeatedly said they are not interested in selling.
What are the next steps for the city?
Consultants are scheduled to gather in Sacramento on Wednesday for a tour of the railyard, then launch into engineering, design and environmental studies. The city also has an upcoming meeting with transit officials to discuss integrating the arena with a planned transit center on the railyard site.
All that assumes a council go-ahead tonight.

The Post-Midterms Game Plan for Progressives
Election 2010 will be known as a "shellacking," the president's characteristically tempered term for what might better be called a rage-fueled bloodletting. Democrats lost more than sixty seats in the House, the worst rout in postwar history, as well as six Senate seats and key statehouses and governorships.
Republicans framed these results as a repudiation of liberalism. The "unmistakable message," said incoming House Speaker John Boehner, was "change course." Blue Dog Democrats, after suffering the loss of half of their caucus, called for a turn to "incrementalism," in the words of Representative Heath Shuler, who suggested that Nancy Pelosi should be displaced as the party's leader in the House. (Thankfully, the lady is not for turning.) Washington pundits argued that Obama's mistake was trying to do too much, catering to his liberal base, and they advised him to imitate Bill Clinton after 1994 by trimming his sails and tacking to the center.
Before this conventional wisdom hardens into received truth, progressives need to take a tough, lucid look at what really happened. With the country beleaguered at home and abroad and the push for reform frustrated, it is vital that we lay out a clear strategy going forward.
It's Still the Economy
With unemployment near 10 percent, the economy was the overriding issue. Exit polls showed that 40 percent of voters said that their financial situation had gotten worse since two years ago, and two-thirds of them went for Republicans. Voters don't hold Obama responsible for the mess—Bush and Wall Street are sensibly given most of the blame. But not surprisingly, they hold Obama and the Democrats responsible for failing to fix it.
Obama's problem wasn't that he did too much or was too liberal. It was that he did too little and wasn't radical enough. The recovery plan stopped the economic free fall that Obama inherited, but it wasn't enough to get the economy going. Weakened by unified Republican obstruction and wrongheaded Blue Dog opposition, public spending was barely enough to counter budget cuts at the state and local level.
Given the scope of the financial bust—Americans lost nearly $11 trillion in the value of their savings and homes—any recovery would have been predictably slow and difficult. That made winning the larger battle of ideas and discrediting the failed conservative policies that drove the economy off the cliff a crucial long-term strategy. But here the president was largely absent without leave. Hoping for bipartisan cooperation, Obama chose not to level a searing critique of conservatism, as Reagan had of liberalism when he took office. His economic advisers Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers were particularly hapless, for they were implicated in the crisis and still espoused much of the neoliberal gospel. Confident that the Recovery Act would work, the White House presented it as the solution, not as the first step in an ongoing drive to build a new economy.
This folly was exacerbated by the decision to continue the Paulson-Bernanke-Geithner policy of rescuing the banks without reorganizing them or at least forcing heads to roll. Taking a cue from the Tea Party, Republicans conflated the recovery plan with Bush's bank bailout. The administration was charged with running up deficits to bail out Wall Street without creating jobs on Main Street. Without revising their failed mantra, Republicans presented themselves to voters as populist tribunes (while peddling themselves to Wall Street as their protectors). The ploy worked: exit polls showed that a plurality of voters (35 percent) blamed Wall Street for the economic mess, but these same voters chose Republicans over Democrats by a 56 to 42 percent margin. This is the full measure of the White House's political malpractice.
Progressives bear some blame for the failure too. Buoyed by the emerging majority that carried Obama into office, progressives poured resources into building coalitions to drive the reform agenda on energy, healthcare, immigration and financial regulation. These efforts had some positive effects: healthcare would not have passed without progressive mobilization, and financial regulation got stronger because of a scrappy citizen coalition. But with the exception of labor, there was no large movement calling for action on jobs until the One Nation march in October. Until too late in the game, progressives were reluctant to challenge the limits of the economic debate, to push independently for change and to censure the White House and Congress for pandering to the big banks and failing to move on jobs. The weakness of independent progressive mobilization made it easier for the right to tap into the populist temper.
Passion Attracts
Many establishment pundits have focused on the swing of independent voters, whose support for Democrats dropped from 52 percent in 2008 to just 39 percent in 2010. Conservative Democratic strategists argue that this decline illustrates the dangers of trying to rouse the party's base in the run-up to the election. This is, in a word, bull.
The voters who turned out in 2010 would likely have elected John McCain in 2008. They were older, whiter and more conservative than the voters who put Obama in office. Turnout was at 40 percent this year, about average for an off-year election. But self-described conservatives represented 42 percent of the vote, up from 34 percent in 2008, and they gave Republicans a higher share of their votes (86 percent, up from 78 percent in 2008). There is no question that the Tea Party mobilization, the torrent of corporate-funded attack ads and the Fox News echo chamber got conservatives to the polls in large numbers. Seniors over 65 represented a striking 23 percent of the vote, and they went for Republicans by a margin of 58 to 40 percent, up from 2008. Here, the dishonest barrage of ads describing healthcare reform as cutting $500 billion from Medicare probably had some effect.
This increase in the conservative vote was mirrored by the falloff in Obama's base. Young people, minorities and single women—the rising demographics that gave Obama his majority in 2008—shrank from 46 percent of the electorate to 40 percent, and they gave Democrats a lower percentage of their vote than they did in 2008. Young people under 29 represented 11 percent of the vote, down from 18 percent, and they chose Democrats over Republicans 57 to 40 percent, as opposed to 66 to 32 percent in 2008.
Conservatives were aroused; liberals were discouraged. This "enthusiasm gap" affects more than the turnout of the base. An aroused base takes the case to the uninvolved, the disengaged. A discouraged base, like conservatives in the latter Bush years, is tongue-tied, confused, defensive. Far more than the purported turn against liberal policies, it's this trickle-down enthusiasm effect (or lack thereof) that helps explain why independent voters swung to Republicans in 2010. Independents are not a stable group of voters with fixed opinions equidistant between two parties. Rather, independents tend to be voters who are paying less attention to politics, and with less information, than partisans. Most tend to favor one party over another. A fired-up base brings out the independents that lean to that party and may also help persuade true independents.
The argument that Obama should tack to the prevailing conservative winds is simply wrongheaded. That surely wasn't the way the Republican Party came back from its defeats in 2006 and 2008. Passion attracts while cautious positioning too often alienates the partisans the president needs to re-engage. As Marshall Ganz has argued, the president went from being a transformational candidate to being a transactional president; the candidate who empowered his supporters became the president who demobilized them—and Democrats paid the price.
No Conservative Mandate
Despite the Democrats' "shellacking," voters provided no mandate for conservative ideas. Republicans did not gain popularity; Democrats lost it. The GOP strategy was to attack, not to advocate. To the extent Republicans advocated anything, few Americans heard it. And when the extremist agenda of Tea Party candidates like Sharron Angle and Joe Miller, who called for privatizing Social Security, was highlighted, voters rejected it.
In fact, voters remain skeptical about the conservative agenda. Exit polls showed a majority favored repealing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy or repealing them altogether, as opposed to just 39 percent who wanted keep them entirely. An election-night Campaign for America's Future/Democracy Corps poll asked voters what they worried about more: the failure to make necessary investments to create jobs and strengthen the economy or increasing government spending so much that taxes will have to be raised. Voters virtually split evenly between the two. Asked to choose between an agenda drawn from the Republican "Pledge to America" (reducing the deficit by cutting spending, extending the tax cuts, offering a 20 percent tax cut to small business) and an investment agenda that creates jobs by spending on infrastructure, science and technology while extending tax cuts for the middle class, the electorate favored the investment agenda 52 to 42 percent. In other words, even the conservative-tilting electorate remains open to progressive ideas to fix the economy.

I'm having difficulties in reading a particular cell value from Excel in xlrd. Whatever value I'm reading (date value) is getting converted to a number. I know there are solutions to convert it into a python date format, but can I read directly the string value in xlrd?
xlrd does NOT convert dates to float. Excel stores dates as floats.
Quoting from the xlrd documentation (scroll down a page):
See also the section on the Cell class, and the various Sheet methods which extract the type of a cell (text, number, date, boolean, etc).
Also read the tutorial that you can access from www.python-excel.org
well, as you say:
FOR THIS EXAMPLE THE XLS is:
sheet 1:listing
sheet 2:colors
Excel stores dates as numbers both internally and in .xls files and then formats them accordingly when displaying. Thus, if you read them naively with xlrd, you will get either numbers or strings. What you should do is check what the type of a cell is and then convert the number yourself. Either using xlrd's built-in functions, such as

Homeless rate steady in latest government estimate
A vigorous effort to house the homeless has been countered somewhat by a sluggish economy. The federal government and local communities have greatly increased the number of beds available to the homeless over the last four years, either through emergency shelters or through government-subsidized apartments and houses. But the struggling economy contributed to the number of homeless people in the United States remaining stable between January 2011 and January 2012.

Philadelphia's own Vedge restaurant was named one of the 12 best restaurants of 2013 by GQ Magazine. (Photo by Jason Varney)
More major accolades for Center City's critically acclaimed vegan restaurant Vedge.
In the March 2013 issue of GQ, restaurant scribe Alan Richman called out the 12 Most Outstanding Restaurants of 2013 in the country. Vedge came in at #3.
Impressive, yes — but as you know, accolades are nothing new for Vedge, the vegan restaurant that opened in Washington Square West a little more than a year ago. Among its impressive haul of praise in its first year: a three-bell review from Craig LaBan in the Philadelphia Inquirer; being ranked #3 on Philly Mag's list of the Top 50 restaurants in the city; and being named "Restaurant of the Year" by VegNews Magazine a few months back.
Richman added to the praise for Vedge.
"The food and service traveled to a dimension in the culinary world where veganism has never been and where vegetables in general rarely go."
This appears to be an ongoing theme with Vedge: Vedge has taken what many restaurant and food enthusiasts would perceive to be a potential weakness for a serious restaurant — serving only vegan cuisine — and turned people's perceptions on their head.
Not exactly an easy accomplishment.
And people are starting to take have taken notice. It's probably time you should too. (Hint, hint.)

Fall pereniel planting
We have a weekend house perched on the side of a mountain in zone 6 a. I have learned not to plant evergreens in the fall, because winters are sometimes so cold and windy that they do not do well. I am wondering about perennials. I want to add dianthus, hardy geraniums, and some more Japanese forest grass. If you have similar conditions, I would love to know what you think of fall planting perennials.
i plant a lot of conifers in fall ...
if they are zone appropriate.. i dont know what a cold winter could be..
but i insure.. they remain moist.. deep into fall ... with my high drainage sand ... none of this. put the hose away at first frost stuff ...
i would suspect.. that your problem is improper watering at a weekend house.. rather than winter ...
wind of course.. burns tissue... on plants that are already lacking water ...
expanding all that to perennials.. simply means.. water deeply.. and mulch heavily... and insure they dont go into winter bone dry..
I second what Ken said on the proper watering & care. As for the perennials you mentioned - I would not recommend fall planting of the japanese forest grass. Grasses are one group of plants that do better planted in the spring in areas with cold winters. A technique I've used successfully to improve odds of survival is, in addition to mulching, put a large pot over a plant at the beginning of winter and leave it there until spring. I weight it down with brick or stone to keep the pot from blowing away.
I stopped planting perennials in fall because of our freeze/thaw/heave patterns of weather, especially with no snow cover some years. I found that the plants don't have enough time to really root themselves into the ground. I spend time pushing them back into the soil when they heave.
If I mulch them, it invites all those tunneling rodents over winter that snack on the plants under that toasty cover of mulch.
I've lost too many plants this way so I stick to spring planting.

Sorry about the misspelling of perennials... Should have put on my glasses.
Thanks felisa, for the tip about grasses. Also thanks to Ken for the reminders about fall watering. As you guessed, we are not always there to water at the right times.
We get more rain in the spring, which is good, but often the soil is too wet to work in when we happen to be there.
That's why I thought of planting in the fall. I would need to order online in the next few weeks most likely, as dianthus and geraniums will not be available in my local area in the fall.
I guess I could just lossen the soil and add compost now and wait until spring to plant.
I've had good luck with fall planting as long as I plant early enough for them to root well, and in general I have better success since there is less work competing for my attention in the fall, and the autumn soil is still warm while the air is cooling so the plants are less stressed. We also tend to have good fall and spring rain most years. I find that by the time my garden has warmed up and dried out enough to plant in spring, the air is getting hot; we have a short grace period between mud season and high summer here. I don't find much difference with the voles between mulched and unmulched gardens in winter since we get enough snow that the voles tunnel under the snow regardless of mulch.
If you have good snowcover and some autumn rains most years, I would plant in fall, but if not, I'd be more likely to plant in spring, but give the new plants some temporary shade after planting.
It would help the advice givers if we had some idea of where you are, so what the usual temperature/precipitation patterns are.
Where I am is similar to NHbabs in that fall rains are usually plentiful and the ground is warm enough that most plants establish well. I've had quite good luck with surprisingly small things planted surprisingly late in the year. Watering is a non-issue if you live in a place where it rains, and most things I plant get a watering in at first, but nothing after that.
To get to specifics, I wouldn't plant dianthus late because it can have trouble overwintering because of excess moisture. Geraniums are pretty idiot proof no matter when they get planted or moved. If the grass is Hakonechloa, I have a terrible time getting it established, though now I have a couple of large clumps of the plain green that I'm willing to abuse because I've got so much of it.
I don't usually plant perennials in the fall anymore. I used to order Bluestone's tiny packs and had big losses. Root systems just did have time to develop. Sometimes I buy much bigger plants on sale in the fall: that improves their chance of success, but not if they are rootbound or been poorly maintained. otoh, if I find a perennial for a few bucks it may be worth a try.But I hold my expectations loosely, as the saying goes.
I'll join the chorus (from zone 5a-6) about fall planting for woodies. I've had very good luck with planting shrubs and trees in autumn, even as late as October. I probably learned from Ken about the diligent watering, soil temps, roots growing long into the season. The only tree I lost recently was a fall planted (2012) Taylor's Sunburst conifer that survived winter, being planted too deeply, root girldling surgery.....and it died during or after a week of 90-100 degree heat, even though I watered deeply and faithfully. (I bet the compromised root system had something to do with it) I suspect heat kills more newly planted woodies than cold.
To suggest the obvious, do you ever spend a week at the house? You could get a good start then, including setting up a do-it-yourself soaker hose system with a timer. I really like Gardener's Supply "snip and drip". It is easy, but takes some hours. Much easier with two people.
I am in the NC mountains. We get an average of 20 inches of snow, but will not have frequent snow cover. Our temps fluctuate, greatly, often 20 to 30 degrees bteween day and night. High winds are a given. Voles are a big problem and thick mulch is a welcome mat for them. Fall can be dry, but I can easily water for a week and use a soaker hose on a timer. I have read the above posts and really appreciate the benefit of other"s experience. I will hold off on the grasses, dianthus, oak leaf hydrangea, and phlox until spring or early summer, whenever the ground dries up enough to plant.
I am planning to divide the walker"s low catmint and some ferns this weekend.
I have built a low stone wall to support a new morning sun only planting area in view of the kitchen windows. I had hoped to plant it this fall, but realize that I will have to wait for spring for some things.
I move plants and add plants in the spring and fall and any time that the temperatures and cloudy weather give me the best opportunity. I can't remember the last plant I lost. Some years if I wait too long to get a few pots in the ground, I've sunk them into the raised vegetable beds, cover them with a thick layer of chopped leaves and keep my fingers crossed. I'm always pleasantly surprised to see most of them make it.
I live in SW Va mts in zone 6A, about 3 miles from NC. I often plant perennials in the fall. They need at least 6 weeks to grow roots before the ground freezes. For us, that's usually around Thanksgiving. I haven't planted conifers in the fall though. I suspect it's the wind and lack of water. Usually Sept and Oct are fairly dry and the fall rains begin in Nov but who knows what is "normal" now!

Hello Clay Creators
I just read all the posts, and looked through the Gallery of Greatness.
Feeling like I need to get up for a run around the house, cause that took a long time !!---too cold here to go outside!!
When I first saw the post go out for anyone interested in this type of forum, I chimed in. I stated that I had some clay, a blade and other goodies I had bought at Joann's and that they were still in the sack. It has been a year. True confessions are embarrassing and painful !!
Anyway--they are still there !!
I am glad you gave ideas to the newbies. I feel I will enjoy doing SOMETHING with the clay.
I will be lurking and complementing as time goes by. Maybe I will get DH to bring home some hex nuts and washers from work and make someting I can put on a string !!
Sculpey Smiles and Fimo Farewells,
Cece from GA
hi Cece, jump on in! Just whip up something and bake it! Depending on how big the project is or how much fun you're having ;--) you can have something finished in 30 minutes!
I think one of the greatest things about PC is that it will patiently wait until you're ready for it!
One day I'll get a pic of my very first Fimo creation. My mom, sister and I all sat around playing with this stuff (oh, about 10 or more years ago...) and all we had was translucent. I made a funny little swan (or duck or goose?) with an oversized head. Also a man-in-the-moon who can sit on his own. I have them in a big shadow box with other mini collectables. :--)
Beads are always great.... Just play. And see what happens!
CeCe- follow Rosie's link to Polyzine magazine and look through the letters to the editor- there is a good one in there that sounds like you. Everybody gets the case of "poly fear" where you have all the stuff but it seems that everyone else knows so much and you are in the dark. The great thing about poly is it is as easy as playing with play dough. Now if you could have fun like that when you were a wee one, you can do it now.
I am an amateur myself and my mind boggles at what others can do. Just have fun like Lia said, play with it an get the feel of it. Save all your scraps and use that scrap clay as a base for beads & other things. I have learned a lot from every mistake I make and I don't care if I can't do it all- I just have fun with it.
Well---- I can't believe it has been almost a year and my post is still on here !!
I can't believe my sack of clay supplies is STILL in the Jo Ann's sack.
I WILL do something with them during the month of January 2003.
I have been looking at all your posts, and have been VERY inspired to "play" !!
Happy New Year to one and all,
Cece in Georgia
Yes, Cece, get that clay out and get busy! LOL! Tell us what kind of supplies you have... Do you have any books? I've been cruising the items on eBay that have to do with polymer clay. Just put those two words in the search bar and see what turns up. Very inspiring. I've been seeing jewelry made with miniature foods. :-D
Well, since I can be totally honest and not have to worry about you hitting me over the head with a wet string of fimo---- I have no idea what supplies I bought.
I am not even sure where my sack is !!
I know I bought several packs of clay, and some little molds.
Does a beginner really need a pasta machine, and if yes---where is the best and the least expensive?
I am not an artist, so I know that shaping things would try my patience.
Therefore, I think I could do stamping or embossing.
I took some expanded metal and some embossed metal (the kind that looks like diamond patterns you see on fancy pick up trucks)from my DH's work. I figured I could bake and design on them.
Do the majority of you use a small counter top oven for your baking?
Well, about PJ time.
Glad I dropped off to say Hi !!
Hi Cece -- I teach online clay classes and most of my students are true beginners. We start our new classes on January 7th. Our projects are geared towards people who don't lots of accessories - and most are done without a pasta machine. You might look for a rolling pin or brayer (used in printing) if you don't want to invest in a pasta machine just yet.
Cece -- once you get started claying -- you won't stop -- so I don't know if you should open that bag of goodies or not!!! -- oh yes I do -- go open it and start playing and claying....
LIA -- I think many of us are bidding against each other on eBay - there's been a huge surge in looking for clay and accessories on eBay. I tried for weeks to get the Series 2 PearlEx powders, only to have to ask Santa for them :0) -- Michele
Hi Michele,
Thanks for your letter of encouragement.
I am anxious to give it a try, and will do so soon.
I think it all looks so much fun, and to know I have you and the others to come to for help, makes me feel a little more secure in investing time and money for supplies.
Happy Days,
Michele, where are these online classes???
I seldom use my pasta machine. I have a clay dedicated rolling pin and seldom use it either!
LOL about eBay. It isn't me bidding! Although I am looking for a book... It's funny, I always feel like I'm being rude if I bid against someone. But then I'm afraid I'll get really cut throat if I was there first and someone outbids me! LOL!
I finally got the new PearlEx w/ a coupon even though I had to settle for a leaking jar of green. I'm not sure I'm happy with them though, are you?
Hiya Cece!
Does a beginner really need a pasta machine, and if yes---where is the best and the least expensive?
Personally I got one right away. It saves so much time for getting clay conditioned, doing blends, & making uniform sheets. I only wish mine had more settings.
I took some expanded metal and some embossed metal (the kind that looks like diamond patterns you see on fancy pick up trucks)from my DH's work. I figured I could bake and design on them. great idea!
Do the majority of you use a small counter top oven for your baking?
I use a toaster oven for small things and my oven for larger & quantities of items.
I find the machine to be invaluable. It is clamped on to my work table in this room. Handle laying close by.....never know when you need to kneed some clay. Long time ago, I tried getting the clay warm and conditioning it by hand....whew!! Not for me. Have heard they are on eBay sometimes but have never seen one. My Mom got it for me for Christmas. Really a great device. Keep us posted on your endeavor. There is plenty of help on this forum so be sure and ask any questions.

How to remove stain in pan from cooking beans
I soaked beans overnight in my stainless steel/aluminum pan and then cooked it for hours in that pan. Now the bottom of the pan is covered with bean marks and I am not able to scrub it off. Tried soaking with soda and still doesn't come off. Any suggestions?
1. Bar Keepers Friend
2. Wash the pot, dry it and use it for spaghetti sauce or some other tomato-based recipe. The acidity will dissolve the stain, which is mostly minerals from the beans. You'll get back a little nutrition and won't need to scour. :)
Another BKF fanboy here! Love the stuff, it's nothing like Comet because it actually works! HA! I am 48 years old and I just tried it for the first time a few months ago...BKF where have you been all my life! It was just invented in, I believe, the 1800's...HEEHEE!
I cook beans a lot and BKF always quickly cleans the stain off. It's the best stuff to clean up almost anything in the kitchen, and no fumes! Leave it to CFers to pretty much know what's good for kitchen chores. A can lasts such a long time for me. It doesn't take much. Use the stainless steel, it doesn't release chemicals we don't know that much about, at least I don't and still don't trust what I know.
I even use it to clean my porcelain sink. It works much better than Bon Ami. But I've also used BKF for my stainless, as others have, and it shines them right up. I don't like the smell of it, but that doesn't last.
