Excellent value for price
I wanted a descent rug that didn't cost a fortune. That's exactly what I got. It came on time and the free shipping made it an even better deal. I liked it so much, I ordered another rug from Overstock. Very pleased so farRead More
Great Rug, Poor delivery
Love the carpet, and unfortunately in arrived unharmed...it was only wrapped in a thin plastic cover that had 6 major rips in it and too many to count smaller holes. I'm thankful it wasn't stained or torn. It looks great where it has been placed.Read More
Very disappointing
This rug is not like the picture. The "stripes" are very wide and the color is odd. The beige or tan color has a greenish tint that is really ugly.Read More
Fine for the man cave
I bought this for the man cave in the basement -- I didn't want to pay too much, but wanted the animal print look. The print itself is a nice style and the colors were true to the photos, maybe a little warmer. It was stretched out/warped on one side, but I just put that side under the couch. After a couple months now, it has flattened out. It is pretty cheap looking though. I think it is olefin. After this, I will only buy wool area rugs.Read More
The rug gave my living room the extra pop needed!
This was my first purchase from Overstock. I was a little skeptical about purchasing this item because I'd done price comparisons and no other department or online store compared to Overstock. So, my assumption was the rug was a reject and would probably be flawed. The rug's quality exceeded my expectations! Overstock exceeded my expectations as well. The rug arrive within 3 business days. In addition, I'd ordered the wrong size so I had to return and get the correct size. The return process was phenominal. I'm one of those folks that think if there's anything to go wrong, it would happen to me. The customer service rep talked me through the process and everything was like clock work. As for the rug, flawless and I love it. My living room is very neutral and the Watamu was the rug to add that bit of "punch" to jazz up my space. I will definitely order from Overstock again.Read More

However, if it's too big or too small, it may leave the impression of an unfinished or poorly decorated room. Before you start shopping for area rugs, you'll want to size the room. This guide will help you to select the right size rug in any room.

Soft-Baked White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies.
Perfectly soft and thick white chocolate cranberry cookies. One of my favorite flavor combinations ever!
Thanksgiving turkey is leaving me completely stuffed, but in my world… there is always room for another cookie. Especially a cookie that is so ultra soft, it tastes like a famous Mrs. Fields cookie or a Pepperidge Farm soft-baked cookie.
Overloaded with white chocolate chips and tangy dried cranberries, I'd like to say… come to mama you gorgeous softie!
A spin-off of my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, today's cookie stands the true cookie test: remaining ultra-soft, even the next day.
What's my secret? Cornstarch! Yes, cornstarch.
Making your baked cookies soft, thick, and chewy has never been easier. Add a touch of cornstarch to your cookie dough and prepared to be amazed. Think about it: often used as a thickening agent, cornstarch gives your gravy, pie fillings, soups, and glazes a more bodied and full texture. The same goes for your cookie dough – cornstarch will help your dough remain more compact during the baking process, leaving the cookies soft, thick, and puffy.
Look at how puffy it made my chocolate chip cookies!
Mixing cornstarch with all-purpose flour will give you cake flour; cake flour is a much softer flour than regular. The lack of high gluten content in cake flour makes the texture of your cakes and pastries much lighter.
While there is no cake flour in these cookies, you are getting the same soft-effect by mixing cornstarch with all-purpose flour. Moving along…
I adore white chocolate in cookies around the holidays. Well, I adore white chocolate cookies any time of year… but they are a favorite add-in when I'm doing my holiday baking. Dried cranberries give the cookies a bright festive color and provide a tart flavor burst in each bite. A soft cookie with a tangy punch of flavor. I like it!
White chocolate and dried cranberries are an impeccable combination, and these cookies are LOADED with both. Told ya, I am a sucker for super chunky cookies.
Most important about this cookie recipe is the baking time. You must watch the cookies closely – I didn't even leave the kitchen as they baked. Take the cookies out of the oven at a precise 8 or 9 minutes. The cookies will appear soft and undone in the centers, but will eventually firm up as they set. Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven.
Also important in this cookie recipe is the use of dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. I swear by dark brown sugar in my oatmeal cookies – it gives the cookies a more chewy texture, less crispy texture. Light vs dark brown sugar is mostly interchangeable in dessert recipes. But I find that dark brown sugar gave these cookies a rich aroma and unique depth of flavor.
I know I sound like a broken record, but I just love dark brown sugar in cookies!
Fresh out of the oven, these cookies are incredibly gooey – each bite will literally melt in your mouth. I brought them into work and they disappeared within 30 minutes. At 9am in the morning!
Trust me, these cookies are irresistible!
Soft-Baked White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Soft, thick, and puffy white chocolate chip cranberry cookies. The cornstarch is the secret!
Yield: 2 - 2.5 dozen
- 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks to 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (aka cornflour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (135g) white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup (105g) dried cranberries
In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in egg and vanilla on high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together until combined. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. The cookie dough will be quite thick. Add the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries mix on low for about 5-10 seconds until evenly disbursed. Cover dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Chilling is mandatory for this cookie dough.
Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes-- if the cookie dough chilled longer than 2 hours, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes the cookie dough easier to scoop and roll. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.
Once chilled, the dough will be slightly crumbly, but will come together if you work the dough with your hands as you roll into individual balls. Scoop and roll balls of dough, about 1 Tablespoon of dough each, into balls. Place 10 - 12 on each baking sheet. Bake in batches for 8-10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. They will look extremely soft when you remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. If the cookies are too puffy, try gently pressing down on them with the back of a spoon. They will slightly deflate as you let them cool. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Baked cookies freeze well - up to three months. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well - up to three months.
Additional Notes:
*Do not drop dough onto warm cookie sheets. Allow cookie sheets to cool completely between batches.

Can't wait to make these cookies for an exchange party! I've never baked cookies with dried cranberries before, but other recipes I browsed suggested rehydrating the berries in warm water for 10-15 minutes. Have you ever tried that? I'm just wondering what sort of difference it makes in taste/texture! Happy baking!!
Sally, these are so wonderful! They came out so soft and delicious. Thank you so much! I also made the cake batter cookie dough which I might roll into balls and freeze tonight and bake up later this week. I can't wait. Your blog is now my go-to for baking. It's tough deciding what to make next!
Oh. My. God. I don't usually comment, but these cookies are honestly the BEST cookies I have ever had. I made two batches the other night – one following the recipe, and the other, adding macadamia nuts (1/2c, cut chocolate chips and cranberries to 1/2c each). I still can't decide which I like better! The cornstarch really makes the cookie perfect. Truly amazing, and I can't wait to try some of your other recipes!!! This is now my go-to cookie recipe for special occasions, and also my go-to base recipe for other flavors! Thank you for sharing!
I've made something similar to these before but it called for a little orange extract/juice/peel. The bright citrus flavor added to the super sweet white chocolate and the tart cranberries made an amazing combination! Haven't tried this recipe yet but it looks amazing. I will be adding that orange though word of advise for the woman shipping them overseas: use real orange, not the extract. I made some for my brother while he was in Afghanistan and by the time they reached him they smelled like a cheap bottle of whiskey because of the high alcohol content in extracts. He was actually in trouble at first because his CO smelled alcohol from the closed box and thought I was smuggling liquor to him. When they discovered it was cookies he laughed, but they had to throw them away!
Hi! I just finished making these. (I haven't baked them yet). At the top you say " I recommend chilling, but do what your schedule allows" At the bottom you say that chilling is mandatory. Right now they are in fridge, but was wondering if they really need to be in there.
p.s. the dough tastes great
Hi Sally! I've made several of your recipes and, like a terrible person, I always forget to leave a comment about how they were. Maybe because they're always good and I'm busy stuffing my face for 5 hours after I make them.
Anyway, I have made this recipe a million times and every. single. time. I make them I get asked for the recipe and everyone who eats them absolutely loves them.
I'm definitely going to try to comment on all the recipes of yours that I make because I think it's important to recognize it and it's my tiny way of saying "thank you" for posting great recipes :).
Hi Sally! I wanted to say that these cookies are/were (being devoured right now) delicious. They did not spread very much at all and we're perfectly puffy, with just the right crispness on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My husband ate half a dozen in 15 minutes. I thought they were not going to turn out right, because I did not chill my dough. It did not seem to have an effect on the baking process at all. I even halved the sugars, replaced white with dark chocolate, used salted butter, omitted the added salt, used half whole wheat and they tasted amazing. Thank you for sharing this recipe. You satisfied this pregnant lady's donut craving with a semi healthy cookie. I look forward to trying your other recipes. Your addiction is my gain.
I definitely broke both your rules–I didn't refrigerate the dough nor did I wait for my cookie sheets to cool before putting in each batch. What can I say? I was in a hurry. Anyway, even despite my disregard for these warnings the cookies turned out amazingly, so thanks for the recipe. I'm wondering if they turned out so great because of the shot of rum that I added to them on a whim. (I also used 1 1/2 cups of fresh cranberries because they're in season. Everything else remained the same.) What do you think?
Hi Sally!
First of all, I'm a big fan of your cookies recipes, because like you, I have a fondness for soft fluffy cookies over crispy ones!
I'd like to make these for Christmas and I'd love to add some orange flavour. Instead of two tsp. vanilla, if I did one tsp. vanilla and one tsp. orange extract, do you think that would be enough orange flavour? Maybe with a little zest added in too? Or should I keep the two tsp. vanilla and just add a tsp. or two of orange?
Thanks for you input!
Hi Sally! I am an avid Christmas cookie and candy maker and I just made my first batch of your cookies. The cookies are delicious but a bit sweet — I was wondering if I should have just measured 3/4 cup dark brown sugar or should I have I packed 3/4 dark brown sugar. I don't recall every using brown sugar in a recipe when I didn't pack it but wanted to be sure I was adding to much sugar. Thanks!
The first time I made these cookies I followed your recipe exactly and they turned out magnificent!!!! However, today I made the same exact recipe, only instead of white chocolate and cranberries I used plain old chocolate chips and they never flattened out! They barely spread and got cracked on top. They still taste good but seem more cakey than chewy. Any ideas? I followed the recipe exactly just exchanged the chocolate chip type.
I was having a late night craving and was lucky enough to have all the ingredients to make these cookies. Honestly, I wasn't going to wait 2 hours for my dough to chill since I was craving them at that very moment and it was late at night. I didn't chill my dough at all and they still turned out fantastic. These cookies are delicious and the best I've ever made.
Love these cookies!! ❤❤❤
They are supposed to be doughy inside, right? It was still kind of doughy even after they had cooled for about 10+ minutes. Doughy is fine with me, just wondering if they are supposed to be like that.
Do you have any more cookie recipes that involve cornstarch?
I made this recipe yesterday and baked them today; they are amazing, nice and soft and absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe exactly as written, I didn't change a thing. I even bought new measuring cups and spoons to make sure I had the exact measurements. I left the dough in the refrigerator overnight; when I took it out this morning the dough was very stiff and crumbly. Not to worry; I broke off chunks and worked the dough in my hands like Sally says and formed a ball. I baked them for 9 minutes at 350 degrees and they were perfect. I did press them down a little, like Sally says, they can be a little puffy. This recipe is a definite keeper. I baked a different recipe for a white chocolate chip/cranberry cookie (not Sally's recipe) at Christmas and they were hard as a board, embarrassing. I thought it might be the high altitude (I'm above 6,000 ft.). I'm so pleased that I found this recipe, full of flavor and soft. Thank you Sally; I've bookmarked your website!!!

I originally bought this for beach swims in the Spring before the waters warm up...but I found it very useful in my job as a nanny, too. Since I care for children in the south, I need to swim with them in all kinds of situations and weather...this is absolutely comfortable, feels wonderful, allows ease of movement and looks kind of sporty. I would recommend this for all weather water sports.

Bought two for my daughters who are around water quite a bit and have lost phones to dropping in water. Updated phones so needed updated cases for protection. One has recently been tested by one daughter who actually went under the water with it while on vacation. Prefer it just be tested by accident but she sent me a video of her under water. Kept it clean from laying on the beach as well!

I carry all my swimming gear to and from the pool a few times a week. Cheaper versions of this type of bag do not hold up. This one is roomy and the seams are reinforced. I carry my kickboard, 3 types of paddles, fins and a pull buoy as well as a couple caps and 2 pairs of goggles, plenty of room and I can still cinch it tight!

By Swimmer/Runner Mom from Indiana on 3/7/2015
Lots of pockets, room for everything. My daughter has snorkel, kick board, fins, training paddles, and pull buoy...it all fits fine. Did have one issue, had the bag for approximately a month and a seam came apart. Called swimoutlet.com and they sent me a new one though. No problems with new one yet.

Excellent wetsuit, great price
By Matthew from San Diego, CA on 3/7/2015
I'm really happy with this purchase, I've been needing a new wet suit for a while now and this purchase was a good one. This suit is lightweight and flexible and comfortable in the water, nice and warm at 60 degree water temp. I ordered an XL because I weigh 250lbs and it's stretchy and fits well, not at all difficult to pull on.It dries quickly too, after washing it out at 6pm or so, the next morning it's been dry and ready to use again.For the price it's an outstanding wetsuit.
It is huge
By Busymommy4 from San Francisco CA on 3/6/2015
Good material and good handling. It is too big but I still will use it to store towels and others when we snorkel in Hawaii.Big is better than too small, I hope I have the medium size,please wtach for the size.but I don't want to return or pay shipping to buy another one.
Amazing bag. It can store everything. Love it.
By Lt from Cleveland, Ohio on 3/5/2015
This bag fits everything and is amazing. Super happy.
By Andrea M. from South Jordan, UT on 3/4/2015
Protects against chafing with fins and breaststroke fins. They are comfortable and feel sturdy. I have worn them 3 days/week for 2 months.

A Very Good Item
By Bill Martinez from Kissimmee, Fl. on 3/2/2015
Size: TOOSMALL
Sporti Neoprene Swim Socks are very well made The only problem is that the Size Large is too small it's more like a Small for a child Do they make larger sizes?
The Perfect Bag
By Aquamom from New Hampshire on 3/1/2015
I attend water aerobics 3 days a week and needed a backpack style bag that would make it easy to carry all my gear. I am able to fit ankle weights, wrist weights, water dumbells, my hip belt, water sneakers and a thick towel. It is a lot of weight in the bag, but having the backpack straps make it so much easier and comfortable to bring to the gym. The outside water bottle sleeve and pocket make it even better. I'm so glad I bought this bag!
Perfect Bag!!!
By Shelley from San Diego on 2/28/2015
This bag is perfect for my little girl. It fits her kickboard, fins and bouy with ease. Love the outside zipper pocket to quickly store her cap and goggles and a separate pocket to hold her water.
Swim Socks
By DAK from Belgrade, MT on 2/28/2015
The neoprene swim socks are great when wearing training fins. The fit is good as they are true to size. The seams feel a little abrasive on the inside, yet I feel they will soften over time. Would highly recommend!
Good Snorkel Kit
By Randall from Sioux Falls, SD on 2/28/2015
Only issue was description of sizing. My husband is a size 9 and so am I, so I got the Large for him and the Med for me, and his were way too big and mine were perfect. So we returned his for the Med size and that fit him fine. So I would say if you are a man or a woman with size 10 feet or smaller just get the Med size, they are very adjustable.Mask fit nice and didn't leak. Snorkel was good. Comes with bag that makes it easy to carry. Good product and a good price.

By Shelle from McIntosh, NM on 2/28/2015
satisfied, product wears well, thank you
Great purchase!
By Becky from Florida on 2/27/2015
These arrived in 2 days via Fedex. I ordered 5 pairs in various sizes and all fit the size feet they were supposed to. They are light and feel very comfortable. I was hesitant to order due to previous negative reviews, but the order lived up to my full expectations and arrived exactly when Swim Outlet said they would arrive..
By Deb from Las Vegas on 2/27/2015
The set is perfect. I love pink. I swim with the fins almost daily for exercise. Thank you for the great product.
Sporti Neoprene Swim Socks
By Sandy from Sandpoint, ID on 2/26/2015
So far, I'm very pleased with these water socks. I bought them to wear with fins; they help my fins fit just right. I'm also able to easily take off and put on the socks in the pool. A real plus for me. I wear a 9 to 91/2 shoe and the women's 9-11 fits well. I've also tried swimming just with the socks. Ok, just getting use to it. Also, they are a little slick in the pool, not a problem, just some caution. Plan to try them in the lake this summer. This is a recent purchase and have used them for 2-3 weeks, 3x's per week.
very good
By Sheri from dallas on 2/26/2015

By R Becker from Bay Area, CA on 2/25/2015
Great size for swim days. Fits all gear w/o being too big on pool deck. Seperate pouch for water & phone/keys/wallet are just perfect.

By GiGi from Salt Lake City, Utah on 2/22/2015
I love it! I got 2, one for me, one for my daughter. It works great underwater. Now my daughter's new thing is waking up, jumping in the lake and playing on her phone FOREVER. I love it, too. I like recording myself underwater, as well as calling people. I think that this product is a great and truly AWESOME accessory for the iPhone 6.
Fit great, looks great. Can't wait to use them
By M from ohio on 2/20/2015
Purchased 2 sets for 16 & 17 yoa boys to take on Western Caribbean Cruise in March. Fit well, look durable. They can't wait to get in the water and try them out!! They really liked the carry bag that came with them. I am only giving 4 stars because they haven't been used yet.

Used this for my 9 year old for the special Olympics polar plunge! Everyone jumped in the water screaming--she jumped in the water--went over to the ladder--got out and asked if she could jump again! It fit and worked perfectly!
Mares Avanti Fins
By cschil from milwaukee, wi on 2/11/2015
I tried these fins on before purcahsing them online. I normally wear a womens size 8.5 but i bought the size 6.5/7.5 fin and they fit perfect. I think these fins are based off mens shoe size, so it makes sense that my size was 6.5/7.5.They are a well constructed and pretty heavy duty. They are exactly what i was looking for. I have heard they are great for snorkeling or diving. I am going on a trip in a month and i will be trying them out for both activities. Based on what i know about fins, these are the best in the market for beginning snorkels and divers and they are a great price.
Snorkelings Best
By Grampa Dick from Cohasset, MN on 2/10/2015
I bought a set for both myself and my wife for our Caribbean Cruise. They were easy to adjust, fit well and worked beautifully. The purge valve was especially useful for my wife and the snorkel performed above expectations. Very Pleased.
Great wetsuit for the price.
By Morgan from San Jose, CA on 2/7/2015
Great wetsuit for the price. Very high quality, durable, warm and doesn't restrict movement when surfing. Should last me for years to come. I'm 5'9" and around 140 with normal build and the regular medium was just right! Thank you!
Happy feet & toes
By Y swimmer from Lebanon, PA on 2/4/2015
The swim socks have made swimming with fins an absolute match! No more sore toes and feet from the fins rubbing. I used them in an intense aqua class -- fins, kickboards, weighted balls etc -- 50 min workout. Sizing was spot on -- order a size down if your shoe size is in-between. I bought a pair for my husband too!

By Eran Kohen from Queens, NY on 2/3/2015
Good snorkel, easy breathing, very easy to clear, but you'll get some water every once and a while if you're coming fast and are short on air. Still, no regrets and I'd buy another one if I need it.

face mask is small
By new swimmer from Delaware on 2/2/2015
I purchased this product so I may have my own snorkel gear when I vacation. However, at the suggestion of my swimming instructor, I opened it early and it is a good thing the mask runs small.the great thing about it, the mask doesn't fog up under water.
Even on a big guy..
By Bert from NY on 2/2/2015
The quality of this suit is great. The warmth in cooler pools is a plus - no dive in shock. Just know you should buy a larger size than you would in clothing.
Very good mask and snorkel for the price
By EJones from Pineville on 2/2/2015
The mask worked well and the snorkel was OK but we did have some problems with water coming in through somewhere. The leak may have been from the gasket at the bottom, but we were not quit sure.
Functional and stylish
By MercerSandVolleyball from Macon, GA on 1/31/2015
Needed it to transport sand volleyball gear and the mesh is on point for eliminating the sand, as well as facilitating drying out of sweaty apparel. Perfect for our application.
Looks like quality

"I purchased these cards and added the extra review on them. I was a little worried it would take too long in order to receive them, but they were reviewed and shipped within 24 hours. I am 100% pleased with how they turned out. Beautiful!"
"Loved the design of this invitation. Easy to incorporate the baby carriage theme for the shower as well. Used the modified rectangular envelopes and ordered the solid color back."
"I have two nieces (sisters) that are expecting within a couple of months of the other, so decided for the benefit of the guests (90% would have been invited to both showers) to do a joint shower. I was worried that creating an invitation would be tricky, but this was perfect. Both Moms-to-be were thrilled! The envelope option was a bonus."
"Awesome invitations and I liked that I was able to change the fonts and wording a bit to fit our event. Very happy with the quality of the product and also with the customer service department when I called in. Will definitely recommend to family and friends."
"This invite (sample) surpassed my expectations. High quality paper, lovely illustration…. I will be ordering these for my daughters baby shower in November."

Administrator and Mid-level Administrator Salaries Increase
March 21, 2005
For the 2004-05 academic year, median salaries for college administrators and mid-level administrators rose by 3 percent and 3.3 percent respectively from 2003-04, according to an annual survey conducted by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR). Both increases outpaced inflation; the 2004 Consumer Price Index was 2.5 percent higher than at the same time in 2003.
Overall, salaries at independent institutions rose slightly more than those at public institutions. The highest-paid administrators are deans of medicine, with a median salary of $326,173, while the administrator job title with the lowest salary is assistant registrar at $37,359. For mid-level administrators, the highest median salary of $119,171 is that of staff physicians, while the lowest belongs to security guards at $24,317.

NY K-9 dies after collapsing during training
K-9 Axe had just completed training with his handler, Officer Michael McDonald, when he collapsed
By PoliceOne Staff
MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — A police K-9 died Tuesday after collapsing during a training exercise.
The Times Herald-Record reports K-9 Axe had just completed training with his handler, Officer Michael McDonald, when he collapsed.
Axe was rushed to a veterinary hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Both the K-9 and his trainer were due to graduate from the Orange County Sheriff's Office K-9 Training Center in July. Axe had never shown prior problems, according to the report.
"Many of you have been calling because you may have heard lights and sirens for miles this afternoon. It was our officers attempting to get our newest K9 member, Axe, to his vet during a medical emergency while training. We relay to you that the efforts to regain consciousness were not successful and Axe has passed away. We are deeply saddened by this loss and thank you for your support," Middletown police said in a Facebook post.

An analysis by The Augusta Chronicle of annual reports from the federal Department of Transportation found that natural gas leaks are common among the area's two main operators.
DALLAS - A big drop in customer complaints helped U.S. airlines post their best ratings ever even though more flights were late and more bags were mishandled, according to a report released Monday by university researchers.
Augusta-based businesses, institutions and people collected more than $400 million in federally-funded grants, payments, subsidies and salaries last year, an Augusta Chronicle analysis of federal spending data found.
Augusta's only nonstop flight faces an uncertain future as political and business leaders lobby for its continuation.
A fire aboard an empty 787 at Heathrow Airport spooked Boeing investors Friday, as they feared the re-emergence of battery problems that grounded the plane for months earlier this year.
A high-speed rail line up for public comment this week could pass through Augusta.
BILLINGS, Mont. - After a string of explosive accidents, federal officials said Thursday that oil being shipped by rail from the Northern Plains might be more flammable than traditional forms of oil.
HOMER, Ga. - A student was severely injured Friday when he shot himself inside a bathroom at Banks County High School, prompting authorities to lock down the school, officials said.
Airlines give many reasons for refusing to let you board, but none stir as much debate as this: How you're dressed.
Before the city of Augusta takes a giant leap forward with plans to revamp a main thoroughfare from downtown to south Augusta, leaders are asking residents to talk about their ideas.

The United States and Europe have a vital stake in curbing conflicts beyond our borders…We also have a moral stake in ending the suffering and atrocities endemic to these conflicts… These new challenges and responsibilities are the reason that UN peacekeeping needs European militaries more than ever.
- Ambassador Samantha Power
Today, this Council makes crystal clear that the use of chlorine as a chemical weapon is no less an evil than the use of any other chemical as a weapon. The Syrian regime's use of any toxic chemical as a weapon is prohibited by the Chemical Weapons Convention and constitutes a violation of resolution 2118.
- Ambassador Samantha Power
This Council's impact will increase only if member-states' positions change. And that will happen only if we recognize that there are children just like our own starving in Yarmouk, and mothers just like our own who die in childbirth in Aleppo…If this doesn't motivate us, literally nothing will.
- Ambassador Samantha Power
The United States strongly supports today's resolution, which is part of a comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL…. As a result of these and other efforts, ISIL is having a harder time generating new funds needed to carry out its operations. Today's resolution aims to make that effort even more challenging, by using sanctions and other punitive tools to target three ISIL income streams.

If it rattles on acceleration and blows black smoke this can be a faulty injector a problem with a knock sensor if used, I would do three things first, run a diagnostic scan and get the fuel rail pressure tested and check the spark plugs for excessive gaps and one or more that are very dirty, black and sooty looking, start here.

No question, I have fallen in love with dahlias thanks to the amazing variety of these wonderful flowers at my local botanical garden. This one is a great example of the qualities I love: delicate color gradations and graceful petal shapes. Of course the tiny drops of morning dew are a beautiful bonus.

The old Delphi 6 application works just fine.
Ideas anybody?? Thanks

THE CUCUMELON; New superfruits that taste like cucumber and melon.. but cost a crazy pounds 5 each.
THIS exotic new fruit tastes like a cross between a cucumber and a melon - and is set to become summer's healthy eating craze.
The vitamin-rich South American pepinos, dubbed cucumelons, are new to UK stores but are being snapped up despite costing pounds 5. London's Selfridges said: "Our stock sold out on the first day, as did a second delivery. We have a waiting list of customers eager to try it."

Has any in zone 5 left calla lily bulbs in the ground and had the
Okay, my goal this season was to work on the flower beds in the front yard. But thanks to the weather,some other issues and very bad twisted ankle. I got started today and the weeds were not happy. I still have to plant the calla lilies that I started from bulbs in April. So image my surprise when clearing away some weeds to find a calla lily in the one of spots that I planted some last year. I thought I dug them all up. There is a small amount of mulch over the spot but I can't figure out how it survived the winter. Any ideas?
I have always heard/read that they were only hardy to zone 7. What may have happened is that they may be in a microclimate where you have them planted...that is it is warmer there in the winter than in other parts of your property. Microclimates usually are the first areas to have the snow melt off in the winter/spring.
I have one patio dahlia, that is planted in a bed on the south side of the house, next to the brick wall. It has survived being left in the ground for probably 4 winters. I have never noticed before, but imagine it might be a small microclimate area.

So ive only been brewing for two months and i want to get away from extracts. From what ive read i dont know if i am ready yet.
i intended to brew a bohemian pilsner type beer today hopefully not having to use the back up DME i bought. (From the looks of it i will need to)
So after my reading im feeling like im not ready (dont fully understand mashing and have the proper equipment) So the big question is will my original plan work? or will it be a waste of grains??
So i am brewing a 5gal batch with 1 pack of wyeast bohemian pilsner activator
I have:
5lbs of crushed pilsner grains
1lb of crushed simpsons golden grains
3lbs light DME (as back up if i dont feel good about the grains)
Protein @ 125°F for 20min
Beta Conversion @ 140°F for 30min
Alpha Conversion @ 158°F for 30min
Will this schedule work? I dont know pH of my water or have pH testing strips...are these essential?
What equipment do you have? PH testing is definitely not required.
That schedule should be fine but I don't think all the rests are required and they definitely complicate things.
i do all this with two 5 gal pots and a straining bag. do you have a simpler schedule for me? perhaps just cut out one of these Beta Conversion @ 140°F for 30min Alpha Conversion @ 158°F for 30min?
After listening the the Malt Analysis brew strong show, I'm thinking the protein rest is unwarranted unless you're using wheat, to be honest. Even then, they only recommend 15 minutes.
I personally will probably never direct fire my mash, although many others do so with no problems.
I like your schedule too. Maybe even a single infusion step at 152-154°.
Boil for 90 minutes as Pilsner malt has a higher propensity for DMS.

They came out perfect with exceptional quality!!"

I have seen TV and internet ads for Quicklawn from Gardners Choice. Has anyone tried this, or know if and how well it works? It sounds too good to be true, which always makes me hesitant.
It may germinate more easily than regular grass seed, but after that it won't grow any better, and it is far more expensive than regular grass seed.
Are you thinking of using it for patching some small spots, or a larger project?
I am looking at a larger area. My soil is poor and it gets hot here in NC during the summer (watering restricted to once a week), so fescue is hard to establish, even when seeded in the fall. I may just move to zoysia or bermuda, but I hate how invasive they are.
I haven't used it, but, seed is seed. So, you can get the same results cheaper if you read up on how to seed, topdress and water correctly here.
Also, by reading up here and NTEP you can get a particular variety of seed that might suit your area better.
All in all, if you want a little more assurance and some extra convenience and don't mind paying some for it, go with it.
Go to your County Extension office or online to your state agricultural university web site. They will provide a list of recomended grass seed and instructions to follow. They use test plots to evaluate grass seed, time to plant and how to do it efficently.
Each extension office has volenteer Master Gardeners to help.
The green stuff is for Patching. Loews or Home Depot has good grass seed.
1. prepare the seed bed, Till top 4 inches. 2. Have a soil test completed 3. Amend the soil per recomendations. 4. spread the seed. 5. roll the seed bed 6. lightly cover the bed with straw.
Plant a great lawn the first time.
I have tried this product. Seeded my lawn exactly 2 weeks ago and I have excellent growth in bare spots that I have been trying to fill-in since march (Some of the spots grew so thickly.) I live in GA and it has been very hot down here and couldn't get centipede, bermuda grass nor even the Quick Grass to grow. Quick lawn worked very well for me.
I liked the sound of having a green lawn in the winter. However, it is difficult to get much information on this product. I was wondering if I can seed it now? What kind of grass is it exactly? I guess I will wait until the spring and try it on my problem areas.
If anyone else has tried this product since the last posts, I would love to hear more!
I am from Pennsylvania. I can't find any info about the climate/zone needed to grow this Quick Lawn. I don't mind spending the money if it works. Does it need a lot of care? The area I live in goes from one extreme to the next. Spring time is a lot of rain that that we get floods, but good for cool weather grass. Summer is hot and dry that the grass turns brown. Watering during the summer is not practical. I have over 5 acres. I can't seem to find a grass seed that can tolerate both extremes. What can you advise me?
P.S. The pros & cons of this forum is interesting.
Products like this sold over TV infomercials and such are mostly scams and should be avoided.
These products don't reveal what species are included in their mix which, in my findings is usually ryegrass because it germinates very quickly but in most of the US can be considered a seasonal annual. It is very thick and lush if you plant it in the fall, you will have a nice season of color. Then again, you can buy ryegrass in larger bags from your local home improvement store for a lot less money.
Nothing wrong with ryegrass if you don't mind overseeding each year and losing it to heat or drought. Plenty of people do this.
On the other hand, if what you want is a permanent lawn that will appear instantly, that's called sod. Look in the yellow pages under sod.
Related topics: "patch perfect"
I've never heard of Quick Lawn but that doesn't mean much. I would never buy seed without seeing the guaranteed analysis of the contents. It might be perfectly good, appropriate for your area, and might be high enough quality to justify the high price; but I would insist on seeing the guaranteed analysis first.
I realize this is an old thread, but I want to disagree slightly with my friend, rcnaylor. Seed is usually seed but it does not have to be seed. Orville Redenbacher demonstrated that with popcorn, and cranberry growers routinely use various techniques to get only the good ones. There are things you can do to select the best seeds out of a batch. They are an extension of separating the wheat from the chaff. Those extra steps justify a higher price. Whether the Quicklawn people are doing that, I don't know.
Quick Lawn shows all of the hallmarks of being mostly Annual Ryegrass. You know, the junk that serves as quick groundcover in "contractor mixes". It germinates in the same time as annual ryegrass, it dies out the way annual ryegrass dies out and looks like annual ryegrass (a friend bought it at a crazy markup price).
Quacking like a Duck, waddling like a Duck, feathers just like a Duck...
All we need is a little Orange sauce.
I have used this product and so far so good. I live in Richmond, VA area. The grass I planted in the fall (Oct) came up quickly, continued to grow until a few hard frosts, and has stayed green all winter in spite of lots of days and nights with temperatures in the teens and 20's. The heat tolerance claim is yet to be tested. It is very expensive BUT you can save 50% by purchasing from Carol Wright Gift's at a normal price of $9.99/1 Lb bag (500 sq. ft.)and it is currently on sale for 2 bags for $14.99. There is no annual seed in the mixture of Appalachian Kentucky Bluegrass, Boreal Creeping Red Fescue, and two types of Perennial Rye grasses. It is really designed for patching but I use also it to seed troublesome areas.
Here is a link that might be useful: Carol Wright Gifts Quicklawn
If it is an annual grass, although it stays green for four seasons... are they leaving out that you would have to replant it every year???
For most locations it does not stay green for an entire year.
If they neglected to mention that it's a temporary lawn, doesn't that kind of seem like an important detail to mention?
It's not like this stuff is cheap. A container with enough patch perfect to cover 500 SF is about $20.
This past year, lowes here was selling 50lb bags of gulf annual rye for $20.
I bought Quick Lawn from Carol Wright Gifts after seeing it on this forum. I order a lot of items from mail-order seed companies. I've had very good experiences with Springhill Nurseries and Gurneys Seed. But not with Gardeners' Choice. It was a nightmare. My order was lost, I didn't know if it was my fault or theirs, I was just trying to find it.The lady was very rude.Then she had me to call another # to see if my order was there.I did, and it wasn't.So then I tried to call back to reorder,they just kept hanging up on me.I would not recommend buying from Gardeners' Choice. Not a good way to do business. I sent my order to 2 other companies. That's how I got the Quick Lawn from Carol Wright Gifts and they shipped it promptly. Will let you know how the grass grows, and if it stays green all year. jena
How do you expect a kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass mixture to do in zone 8 of texas?
Do you think you're just going to plant that now with less than a month before you start to see 90 degree temperatures? Don't waste your money. Call to cancel your order before its too late.
Look at all these needless comments. I was looking to hear about any results like the first questioner, but there are just a butch of old ninnies on here giving scam advice. If you haven't used the product, don't comment. Yes we know it could be a scam, that's why we're looking for someone who's used the actual product!!
The only advice I'd give is to stay away from gardenerschoice.com site, or any other 3rd party site that redirects you to their site, to order QuickLawn. I have read only nightmare experiences from people who buy this product direct. I bought mine from Publisher's Clearing House and had no problem.
I didn't follow the instructions initially, I just sprinkled the seed on about 800 Sq.F of concrete-like bare dirt (aftermath of construction) and just watered it a little on the first day. Instructions say to keep moist, but I couldn't keep it from drying out while at work all day, and could only water in the evenings. On day 4 (it's supposed to sprout in 5 days) I thought all was lost but sprinkled some Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Soil over the seeds and continued to water once daily. It actually sprouted on day 7 against all odds! 3 weeks later, it's filling in very nicely. I sprinkled the remainder of the seed on a 40 Sq.F soft patch 4 days ago, this time following directions (rake soil, stamp into ground, keep moist) and also used the MG potting soil right away. It sprouted yesterday, day 3!
Do I care if it's 4 season green? No, I live in the Chicagoland area and we're under snow for 5 months of the year. Will it grow thick enough to choke out weeds as advertised? Time will tell. Did I spread it on 15% thicker than recommended? You betcha, and am glad I did or I would probably not be as happy with the results. For now, I can tell you my yard looks so much better than it did 4 weeks ago.
I want to buy more, so I'll have to check out Carol Wright as another poster suggested. I'm having a hard time finding a site that doesn't take me back to gardenerschoice.com. I think the problem is not the product, but the Gardener's Choice...and I'm quite sure the MG potting soil helped too :)
2 1/2 weeks after my last post and I am amazaed at how thick the grass has grown, it's filling in VERY nicely. Carol Wright no longer offers this item so I have purchased some on ebay. If you keep your mower at 3" to cut your grass, this stuff really does what it claims! I can't wait to overseed my lawn next spring with this stuff before the weeds start growing! Already my lawn is fading to yellow, but the Quicklawn is a deep green and stands out like a sore thumb! LOL, the only part of my lawn that looks decent. I can't wait until it takes over my entire lawn!!!
We are considering this...but like others want to hear first hand reports of how it works (or not).
While I am very suspicious of the things sold on infomercials...sometimes they are really good products. The problem is you never know for sure until you try it...or someone else does.
For those who have planted it, please keep updating the rest of us.
Bought it, haven't tried it yet. This is NOT the grass seed which has the integrated fertilizer/mulch wrapping the seed such as found in your local store. The scam part is that you pay $20 for the pound bag (plus $7 shipping), they send you second lb for "free" (plus $7 shipping) so you've paid $34 to get a single 2lb bag of grass seed (they combine the shipment). There are cheaper websites to obtain it though, I suspect you can go to www.gcspecials.com for cheaper pricing. Here is the label: 30% "kenblue" Kentucky bluegrass (germ85%), 30% "maxima 1 creeping red" Fescue (germ85%), 20% "pavilion 1" Perennial Ryegrass (germ90%), 20% "cruiser" Perennial Ryegrass (germ90%). Does anyone know about these particular sub-varieties?
