Home made trailers and baggers?
First off, the trailer.
The prices of the trailers out there are not appealing.
I already have the design to build a 4 foot long, 3 foot wide with 14 inch-ish high sides trailer and I'm only lacking the one sheet of 3/4 inch plywood it will take to build it, and a long day to fabricate.
Hauling any dirt, gravel, sand or any other landscaping items in the wheel barrel is no longer something I want to do.
Now, I got the Sears 24 hp DYS 4500 and the wimpy T2 Hydromatic (more about the dual bagger later) and would like to know how much it can pull on flat ground?
All the book tells me is to "Fallow the manufacturers recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment" but fails to be specific.
Now, about the bagger.
I have the 2 bag, soft side bagger and not only does it seem to focus on the left bag mainly and only overflow to the right one, it fill up so damn fast I need to get something bigger.
I can fill both bags in 2 minutes or less!
I was thinking of covering the trailer and making it be a trailer/bagger.
I have see some mowers pictured that had flexible tubing to go from the blades to the bagger, but don't know where they get it from!
I also figured that if I made a solid lid, I could install one of the flex bags on the top as a vent on the trailer/bagger.
If not, does someone know if there is there some kind of breathable fabric like the baggers are made out of that I can use to cover the top?
OH, also, does anyone have any links to trailer baggers and home made trailers for lawn equipment?
I was working one one for a while - ran into a dead engine which stalled the project.
I was going to use chicken wire - or some screen for the air release. (to fine a screen and it will just clog up).
I would imagine some decent lawn repair shops can get you the flex hose ... But I was looking at the black flexible plastic drain hose that is sold in lowes... use for moving water away from the house during a rain storm...
In that same area that had some neat parts which would have worked nicely for quick connect/disconnect purposes. As I wanted to disassemble mine at years end for storage purposes.
Good luck - and take pictures so I can see what you did...
I have seen some like I want to build called Lawn Vacuums but they had an additional motor and squirrel cage fan to suck and blow the clippings into the trailer.
They were also priced in the $1000 and up range!
If I had the K46 hydromatic transmission, I could have used a hydraulic pump mounted to a squirrel cage blower just like they show but powered it off the tractor!
Now I'm thinking of looking for a blower to mount my chain saw (modified to use bicycle style chain) or my compressor motor to!!!
As soon as you step up from the small "light duty" carts then the prices sure go up in a hurry! I was not really impressed with the way that the bigger carts were built,....not to mention the prices that they wanted for these so-called "heavy duty" units,so I decided to try and build one myself.
Here are a few pics of the end results: It's 54' long x 40' wide. The removable sides are 12.5 inches high. I admit it is overbuilt for a garden cart but then again.....I know it's gonna last me a long time!
archangel2003 : Regarding ...
If I had the K46 hydromatic transmission, I could have used a hydraulic pump mounted to a squirrel cage ...
How does a K-46 tranny factor into this ? Can you tap into them to power another device? Do they provide connects to do so ?
Take a look at the blower rig here on this machine:
you can see the hydraulic blower motor... Im thinking that something like this could could be modified to dump into a large collection cart rather nicely.
"the length of the draw bar on the cart seems......."
Yes!.....I did go a bit overboard on the draw bar length! The idea is that i wanted an extra long draw bar to make the cart easier to back-up. Any trailer (big or small) that has a short draw bar is much harder to back-up with: you have to over correct much faster. With a longer draw bar everything happens slowly,you have lots of time to get the trailer going in the direction you want it to go.
You may have noticed that there is a bolt that runs across the draw bar right in front of the pull pin that releases the dump body. I just have to take that bolt out to disconnect the draw bar from the cart itself...it makes the cart much easier to store in my shed.
Another advantage of having an extra long draw bar is that you can back the trailer in very soft or rough terrain while your tractor is still sitting on firm ground, that way you avoid a lot of traction issues.
***"and through the woods, so the length of that bar (in those tight conditions) would be a problem"*** With a little more "effort" and materials, one could devise a "telescoping" draw bar and add flexibilty to the concept. "tubing in tubing" for the "telescope" and lynch pins and a series of "pin holes" in the square (or round) tubing segments to lock at various lengths of draw bar extension.
***"If you were looking for a motor for the collecting cart; you could use one of those vacuum/leaf blowers"***
That idea and concept is "sound", but I don't know how "big" a vacuum/leaf blower you have in mind. All the ones I've seen would have "way too little" direct capacity to handle the volume of material presented to it from the deck discharge chute. There might be some way to mount the DISCHARGE tube from the leaf blower, into the larger tube leading to the cart, at a shallow angle to the large tube and thereby create a sort of "venturi effect" to help transport the material up the tube and into the cart.
Mownie :
"And the long draw bar (tongue)makes for a very stable tow on the interstates"
After almost 3 years of wheelhorse ownership, I still can't figure out how to engage the two stick transmission into double overdrive......so until then......I think it would be best if I would not go out on too many road trips and just stick around my yard. ha-ha!
nidpo :
"the length of that bar(in those tight conditions)would be a problem.."
Agree!...if you have a property that has a lot of obstacles then a setup like mine would be just a pain to get around with.
I can't get the search function to work for me right now, but there've been excellent threads on members building their own grass and leaf collection trailer/blower systems. Everything on what size and where to buy the hose/fittings, the blower, etc. to important time consuming stuff like how to design/position the baffle inside the cover so that it actually works correctly. Maybe someone else here remembers that thread. And maybe no-one cares....haha
***"If you were looking for a motor for the collecting cart; you could use one of those vacuum/leaf blowers"***
There was more thought into the suggestion than may appear, or no measurements only guesstimates.
A leaf blower pulls in a fairly large mass of leaves and discharges it as mulched leaves. The particulate is fairly concentrated in the discharge volume. The limitation is the volume of the bag.
The Discharge volume from a mower appears to be of the same concentration of particulate (grass clippings), but of about equal mass to that delivered from the leaf blower.
Based on picking up each.
As I remember the tubes on a grass collection trailer are about the same diameter of the leaf blower intake.
This is the specification on my Makita 4 cycle
* Max. Air Velocity: 145 mph.
* Max. Air Volume: 316 cfm.
Your Makita must be a much higher volume unit than my portable Stihl 2-stroke leaf blower/vacuum unit. Its ability to pick up my cottonwood leaves is pathetic. It's almost a leaf by leaf proposition, with some needing to be crushed just to enter the tube. It's easier to just bend over with the rake. It does do a great job of blowing leaves however.
rick315-8, There is no such thing as "over built"!
WOAH, that looks like one sturdy tractor!
Looks like it's built to plow the back 40?
If it's what it looks like, I like the horizontal crank motor!
They just seem more correct than the vertical crank engines.
How much HP?
Got it new?
If so, when and how much?
Back to the trailer.
That trailer is vary much like the 36" X 48" trailer I plan on building.
Is that the size of yours?
However, your axle and wheels seem a whole lot sturdier than the ones I have sitting around!
I also only plan on a having a 20 inch tow bar and my intent is to convert it for grass collection.
My wheels are just 12" "wheel barrel" wheels (I could swap in the 16" off the other dual wheeled barrel) on a 5/8 solid axle and I'm using a couple of salvaged bed frames for the angle (1-1/2" and 1-1/4" and about .100" thick) but there might not be enough to mount the brackets from the axle to the bed.
If I don't use angle for the vertical corner brackets for the permanently mounted sides I just might have enough.
How do you like the removable sides as far as loaded strength, like if it were loaded with gravel?
I wanted to use ¾ birch plywood (that stuff is the best!) but it goes for over $40 a sheet so I thought I might try the next step down in quality, the 23/32 pine (not the knotted face type) for about $20 or so a sheet.
OK, saw the size in the small space between the pictures.
It should be about 15.6 cu ft.
Mine should be 14.5 cu ft.
I wanted it to be no wider than the tractor without the mower deck just in case it became a garden tractor for hauling when we move to Vermont and there is a tight gate involved.
My tractor is a 2006 wheelhorse classic 315-8 mfg by toro....15hp with a 8 speed trans.
Having removable sides is nice because you can convert the cart to a simple flat bed to haul over-sized stuff. I don't have any strength issue with them either: I get pooped out from shoveling a load on long before the sides start to bend!!
The one piece of advice I would give you is to just take your time! Take your time making your plan, make sure you have everything figured out BEFORE you start cutting out the first piece of steel.
Good luck with your project!
***"A leaf blower pulls in a fairly large mass of leaves and discharges it as mulched leaves. The particulate is fairly concentrated in the discharge volume. The limitation is the volume of the bag."****
While the leaf blower/vacuum volume may be adequate for transporting leaves into the collection bag, you still have to accept a few facts. Leaves are fairly lightweight objects when dry, grass is heavy by comparison because is is water laden. The collection bag is often only a few inches from the blower impeller/chopper/shredder, so the leaf mulch only needs to be moved a few inches to the bag and then they fall out of the air stream. The trailer by comprison will have a long hose that runs up hill, and this means that the clippings will have to remain "airborne" in a weakening stream of air. The great distance of the hose will cause the air to lose velocity, and so the clippings will simply "drop out" and begin collecting along the length of the hose and quickly clog the hose. In order to carry that much weight of material, it will require much more power than is availed by a typical, handheld leaf blower/vac. The last thing to accept is the very slow rate at which a leak blower/vac actually collects the material. The leaf blower/vac normally picks up the leaves directly off the ground through the large diameter vacuum attachment tube. Think about how relatively slow the blower/vac moves in picking up leaves in an area of 100 square ft (10' X 10'). It pretty much will take someone around 15 to 20 minutes or more to vacuum 100 sq ft. Now consider how long it takes a lawn tractor with 46 inch cut deck to cover 100 sq ft. A 46 " deck only has to mow about 26 linear feet of lawn to reach the 100 square feet of area. A lawn tractor traveling at 1 MPH will mow 26 linear feet in about 1.5 SECONDS. Do you think that the leaf blower vac that typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to vacuum 100 sq ft.......will handle the material output of a machine that is producing a much heavier product from the same area in 1.5 seconds? The LIMITING factor is actually the rate at which the blower/vac can process the material and it cannot process fast enough to handle the volume that a lawn tracor can produce in 1.5 seconds.
mownie, I have two riding mowers with grass collection bagger systems, a 3-blade 48" JD ZTR with the fan-assisted power-flo unit, and a 38" 2-blade MTD tractor mower with a two bag non-fan assisted unit. What is amazing to me is that the non-fan assisted bagger system works so well. I mean, that two blade deck must be a powerful blower in itself, not only discharging the grass/leaves at a fairly high velocity, but also providing enough air needed to fluidize/suspend the whole mess and keep it moving up the tube to the far side bag first. And there are non-fan assisted 3-bag units as well that are supposed to work with wider decks. Just amazing to me what a blower/material mover that deck is.
My bagger tube is right about at where the pivot point I plan on having is located.
Also, I believe that the discharge point is high enough above the trailer deck that if I add a couple feet to the length pointing downward into the trailer, the cut grass should keep going the rest of the way down.
BTW, today I scored a 2 + foot long section of rail road rail, and I think I saw another piece about the same size near by deeper in the weeds!
It was near sundown and I need better light before I go digging deeper!
I almost failed lifting it over the side of the truck bed!
They are good anvil making materials, and look to be the right size for tractor traction end weights!
One for the front, one for the back.
I was using a 10 inch cube of steel but it was so pitted from rust I need to have it machined flat and surfaced hardened, and that is an outflow of cash I was unwilling to make.
If you're interested, here's the thread on that grass vac system I was talking about.
Here is a link that might be useful: Home-made grass vac trailer

Hato Mugi with Chopped Veggies
Whenever I find an oddball ingredient, I get excited. Especially if it's a hard-to-find oddity (at least in our cuisine). And if it's a gluten-free whole grain I've never tried before, well … that's the ultimate oddity. Enter Job's tears, or — as it's called in its native Asian lands — hato mugi. Sometimes it's called Chinese barley, but botanically, it has nothing to do with barley. The two just look a bit alike.
I first saw Job's tears in a Canadian gluten-free cookbook. Apparently it's somewhat common north of the border. In the States, though, it's more commonly found in jewelry-making circles than culinary ones. Unhulled Job's tears, it turns out, are used as beads. But unhulled grains are pretty much inedible, so resorting to trying to eat beads as grains wouldn't be a good idea.
I scoured natural-food stores and couldn't find the mysterious grain. I went online to my usual sources and couldn't find it. Finally, I found hato mugi listed on a website specializing in Japanese and Korean ingredients. (I had already looked in local Japanese grocery stores and couldn't find it, although looking for an ingredient you've only seen in pictures among packages only labeled in Japanese does make one prone to overlooking the target item. I might have better luck now that I've held Job's tears/hato mugi in my hand.)
The mysterious grain arrived on my front doorstep last week. Hooray! Nothing like questing and then finding the searched-for treasure. And yes, Job's tears look a lot like barley. They taste more earthy and less nutty than barley, though, but they do have that perfect-for-soup chewy texture.
For my first taste trial, I simmered a 1/2 cup of Job's tears in 1 cup of water for about 50 minutes — that's about when they felt tooth-tender to me. Then I simply tossed them with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and some chopped carrots, cucumbers, and pea sprouts. Next I'll add them to a hearty stew or Scotch broth. Then I might try adding the cooked grains to an Asian stir-fry or use them to make a faux barley salad. Bet they'd be good as porridge, too.
So many possibilities! I'm just glad I succeeded in my quest. Should you be lucky enough to stumble across a bag of Job's tears/hato mugi, you might like to try them, too.

About 1 hour west of the Swedish resort of Riksgransen lies Narvik, a hidden treasure in snowboard circles. With only 5 lifts and a summit that only just gets over 1000 metres, Narvik isn't your typical holiday resort: it's a small-town situated at the foot of a superb mountain, with lifts only opening in the afternoons on weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays. The busiest times are in February and Easter, but other than that, lift lines are practically non-existent and being located so far north, tour groups have never heard of this place.

The Natural Goodness of Yogi:
Yogi has been creating all-natural and organic teas for more than 30 years. Their philosophy is simple: they believe wholesome, unprocessed foods are the best way to enjoy essential health benefits complimented by intriguing, delightful flavors - qualities that make all of their products uniquely Yogi.
Yogi Principles:
- Tasting great is essential, but it isn't enough. If what they make doesn't taste great and leave you feeling great, they won't make it.
- They think before they blend or bake. How will their recipes work with body and mind?
- Health is found in nature. They work with what nature already offers rather than trying to concoct it. They don't have laboratories, they have kitchens.
- Creative combinations can optimize what nature has to offer. Ever added Goji Berry to Ginger? They work together to produce a remarkably fresh and innovative taste... and a remarkable level of energy.
- Whenever possible, they work with wholes, not parts. They don't add vitamin C. They add Indian Gooseberry, which is naturally rich in vitamin C.
Quality Testing:
To ensure consistency and quality, Yogi ingredients are meticulously reviewed and tested for insecticides, pesticides and heavy metals. Their ingredients are handled carefully, from the time they're harvested, through the manufacturing process in their organically certified facility. They strictly adhere to the prohibition of GMO ingredients as required by the National Organic Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by Quality Assurance International (QAI), their third party organic certifier.This process ensures Yogi teas are made to their own scrutinizing standards and ultimately deliver unsurpassed quality to you, their customer.
About Yogi Tea:
Their story begins in 1969 when Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring teacher of holistic living, started teaching yoga in America. He shared the wisdom and knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India with his students while serving a specially spiced tea, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. When blended and brewed, these delicious spices leave you feeling vibrant and alive, while boosting overall well-being. Intrigued by the complex flavor and inherent health benefits of this unique combination of spices, it wasn't long before several of the yogi's students were inspired to brew their own "Yogi Tea."
In 1984 this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the rough, dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. As demand increased, the spices were more finely ground, packaged and sealed into individual tea bags. By 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors.Yogi has continued to expand and evolve their tea offerings to address specific health needs by creating specialized herbal formulas, blended for both flavor and purpose. Today, Yogi has over 60 tea blends, many of which are created using the five original Yogi spices.The holistic teachings of Ayurveda and healthy living are the inspiration behind Yogi. These teachings continue to inform how they develop their products, and they honor and reflect them through the Yogi Principles.

We have been there before, love the atmosphere and the proximity to activities, both on premise and off.
The hotel staff were excellent as was the breakfast we were served. The room and bath were minimal, but overall adequate.
The location is convenient. The free breakfast is a plus.
It took a while for us to figure out the thermostat. In fact, we never really did figure it out but got heat to come on. Then it got pretty warm but I was afraid to turn the dial because I didn't want to turn off the heat.
the front desk person were very friendly and very helpful
Quite, Clean, Traditional Vermont Inn Experience. Service down home warm and friendly. Food is outstanding! Ben's Room is enormous with a king bed, TV, fireplace, and hottub.
Bathroom was pubpar...and also don't expect traditional bath amenities (soap, etc are in a wall dispenser - very eco).
Family friendly, good for kids. Pretty basic place, but has nice pool and hot tub, game room for the kids.
Hidden fees. Booked for 2 adults plus 2 children through bookings.com. At checkout, had to pay extra daily fee for the kids. They claim it was in fine print, though I have not been able to find it.
Continental Breakfast
Close to slopes
Friendly Staff
TV, mini fridge and microwave in room
We only stayed one night, we chose this after looking at reviews because it was the cheapest hotel that seemed decent.
Booked a room for my boyfriend and I, the room had 2 full beds instead of a queen. We decided to share one bed and it wasn't an issue.
The hotel looked nice & the staff was pleasant.
We arrived on a Friday & booked for 2 nights. We were there to attend a nearby wedding. About 10:00 PM bus loads of teenagers arrived. There was no supervision & they were totally out of control. They were above us & next to us. The extreme noise & throwing things went on all night long. We couldn't sleep at all. The front desk was called several times for security But no one arrived. We checked out & received a refund thanks to the help of Kayak. We were able to get another room where the wedding was being held & all is good.
The owners were nice.
Hotel looks better on Internet than in-person. I think it was overpriced for room and for season. Deceiving portrayal of hotel. Looks somwhat rundown inside and outside.
I like the hotel because 1) The owner is extremely nice and helpful. He helps us with trip planning, daily transportation, and even tiny requests like going to the pharmacy and dry my ski boots. He is extremely friendly and always thinks in customer shoes
beds are very comfortable. rooms are clean. staff was friendly
room was hot
Hotel was clean and appropriately apportioned. Staff was awesome, friendly and accommodating. Housekeeping staff helped me get into my room (when they confirmed it was my room) when my hands were full... All around great service.
Nothing was bad. They rocked.
Lovely bed and breakfast. Mike, Barb and their dog Burt were awesome hosts. They were very accommdating and wanted to make sure we were relaxed and had a good time.
Like other bed and breakfasts, there's a shared bathroom. But you only share with one other guest room since they only two suites at any given night. The other room was empty, so we actually had the bathroom to ourselves.
older place going through some updates Staff was very helpful close to end of RT4 Breakfast was included and not bad
The room was very over-priced; small; toilet leaked at floor seal; blanket was too small for the bed.
Great location, close to the slopes
Old hotel, old toilet, old shower, old carpet high price.
The location
The towels were very old and worn. Plastic cups were not replaced when the room was made up, very light breakfast, no pool, there was 4 inches of snow but the parking lot was not plowed.
Location easy check in
Loud people with dog above us. Made a big deal about signing no pets in our room but the one above us could? It seemed very illogical. For a ski place it seemed insane people would be loud at 1 am when lifts open early rhe next day
Everything! My son a and I had a wonderful time. Thank you, Staff!
It rained on the second day.

I've been admiring the mirad of photos of daylilies the last few weeks and there are so many beautiful cultivars. In fact so many I'm lost.
Is there anyway you kinds folks could share three cultivars you'd take with you to a new home if you where forced to so and why you'd chose those three cultivars?
I play this game in my mind all the time. Last Snowflake,
Indian Ripple, and Lone Star Wagon Wheel are my top three but I can't do only three. I would HAVE to take Shores of Time, Annie Armstrong, Linda Beck, Bela Lugosi and a few others. LOLOL
This post was edited by jkayd_il5 on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 14:57
I actually tried to pick 10, and couldn't evven do that. I'd just have to stay.
I will say Clown Parade, Black Fathom Depths, Salty Skipper, Rode F Kennedy, Philistine Champion Deliverer, Kansas City Kicker, Fernstone, Purple Honey Creeper, and Wild One would be included, but there are too many others I couldn't leave behind.
I just got Indian Ripple last week so we'll see next year if it's in my top 3.
For now, I have to choose:
Dabo Girl - such a beauty
Agamemnon - bright big yellow almost glows
Autumn Wood - long blooming season and perfect every time and great for front of border since it's short.
here's Dabo Girl - has diamond dusting too
Autumn Wood
but I also have to add Rainbow Radiance because even though it only blooms a short period of time the blooms are so special and perfect.
and Beautiful Edgings which I bought more this year to increase my clump
Three...??? Impossible, sorry.
I can name some current favorites. Some of these have always made my list, and others are new to it.
I will always love and keep MERINGUE MIRAGE, a double that's fragrant and with a beautiful, feminine blend of colors.
Also, BEYOND THE SKY (supposed to be a "clear crisp lavender" -- it's usually very, very pale pink here).
And a newer favorite, STARRY EYED PIRANHA (Kim McCutcheon 09) ,"Burgundy red with dark purple eye and edge with white teeth above sunny yellow throat"' this one is often almost brown here, and with purple teeth.
This year, I love TEDDY BEARS PICNIC (Moldovan 05), which usually really IS "light chocolate"! (Today, has sort of a dark raspberry look to it.)
I am astounded by CANDY APPLE VELVET (Kirchhoff-Schindler 11), which is a blazing red here.
COMET TRAIL and ROCKET BLAST, two Niswongers from 2001, both with screaming color.
MATCHLESS FIRE (Schindler 04), "red with orange eye." The database picture doesn't come close to showing how dramatic that orange on red is. Same Schindler, as above, BTW.
GREYWOODS GIDDY UP GIRL (Wilkinson 11), I love the richness of the color combo of "peach with a hot lilac mauve eye and lilac mauve ruffled border," It really is a "hot mauve" -- even better than the database image, I think.
WESTBOURNE LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT (Meadows 11) is a "caramel self above a bright yellow applique' throat." The colors in mine are much more intense than the database image.
TELLTALE HEART (Doorakian 06) is a "plum with purple red eye above green throat." Mine has an intensely vivid green throat and has generally had beautiful purples.
SONG OF MYSELF (Ball 09) is a gorgeous white.
HAKUNA MATATA (Schaben 07) looks just like the database image. It's that intense!
THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE (Bachman 09) has a wonderful scape. Plus, it's a late, and I want to create a bed just of lates and very lates.
JOLLY GOOD FELLOW (Herr 04) is a burgundy lavender self; here, it blooms with a lot of purple-y to it, and I like that. I also like its hefty branching and bud count.
PASTOR Z (Polston 11) it is PURPLE, and what an edge!
JOAN DERIFIELD (Hanson 00) do not make any judgments based on the database image! That doesn't do it justice!
And two yellows: TOPGUNS DRIPPING GOLD (Scott 04) because of the brilliant color and perfectly shaped blooms, and HIS SISTER PAM (Yost 09) lovely paler yellow with a fantastic scape. (Was slow to establish.)
I really could go on...! And yes, I am good at math. But like I said, three is impossible. ;)
And anyway, why three? That's not a collection...that's an impulse buy. ;)))
whaas, you should try to figure out what YOU like, and why. It might be certain colors; it might be certain shapes. It might be both.
You might also want to ask yourself why you want some dayliies: is it because you're an incipient addict on the cusp of a really dangerous new hobby? ;) Or, are you thinking about incorporating daylilies into an existing landscape and to go with your house?
Questions like those could help guide your choices.
Thanks, maximus! I so enjoy seeing other people's favorites. There is that downside, though -- a longer list, an addendum to the list, a new list, putting things back on the list, quickly browsing the lily auction just in case...you know what I mean. ;) I still don't have and want to get CLAUDINE'S CHARM, one of your favorites. Also, I love ones that look like DABO GIRL, one of njmomma's favs. Oddly enough, I don't have a single one.
Three favorites per color: I'm game!
Ask me any day of the week, and I'm sure my "top three" would change. It certainly does by years and weather conditions. But I'll play your game by the rules. I would have to take a good pink and a good purple, since those are my favorite colors. The purple would be I REMEMBER YOU because most years it has terrific branching and bud count, and it reblooms. I have a lot of pinks of love, but I would take SYMPHONY OF PRAISE not only because of it's beautiful bloom, but because of its value in hybridizing. It sets seed on the hottest days and has produced the greatest number of my keeper seedlings. The third would be RUBY LIPSTICK because of the beautiful bloom, great plant habits, and instant rebloom.
Actually it was sort of easy for me. I'm basing my decision on the 3 that have withstood the test of time for me. They all bloom well, are relatively colorfast/sunfast and have been winter hardy (in pots no less). Plus having seen many more since their first appearance, I still just plain like them. They go with me to the old age home-lol: First one is Coral Corduroy by Carpenter
Next is Yesterday Memories
Finally, usually one of my first to bloom Rose Masterpiece;
Everyone else has followed the rules. I know I should be embarrassed, but...;)
I have to add something about PASTOR Z. I'd commented on its color and edge, but I left out some other great attributes, which I double checked on this morning.
It's listed as an ML, but it's August 7 and mine is just getting going now. Of course, this whole season had been slow to start so its behavior may change next year.
Also, it's listed as a rebloomer, and yes, I have a rebloom scape.
Finally, it's registered as having 5 branches and 25 buds. The placement of the five branches one of the scapes here is so good - three very well spaced ones and two top ones forming a nice, wide V.
I don't have 25 buds - I have 35! Of the 35, I have, as of today, one bloom and four bud scars. So that tells you how late it is.
Obviously, this one will be on my list of best purples.
Maryl, I love ROSE MASTERPIECE! Beautiful color.
And Debra, my RUBY LIPSTICK's color looks more like the color on the sepals of yours. Maybe another year to settle in will do the trick. And now I want to try SYMPHONY OF PRAISE and I REMEMBER you!

They have an excellent training program that is very detailed for each job. They also have a very good system for tracking follow-up appointments. That is the 2 things that I really liked.Cons
The senior management needs to go and they need to be replaced with TRUE professionals. Due to poor management VCA has lost a lot of good physicians and staff in the last 2 years. Very sad that the people running this company just don't get it!!!!Advice to ManagementAdvice
Treat your employees with respect and they will work much harder for your company. Employees should not get in trouble for reporting issues to senior management.Doesn't Recommend

Masterpieces at the Poissy prison Bringing art into the prison system: a project born of a rich and innovative partnershipPublic outreach - Archives - January 1, 2011
In January 2011, life-sized reproductions of ten paintings from the Musée du Louvre were unveiled at the Poissy prison near Paris. The exhibition, entitled "Au-delà des murs" (Beyond the Walls), was staged by inmates in cooperation with the Louvre and presented by writer Luc Lang and scenographer Philippe Maffre.

"Au delà des murs", Projet inédit de la prison de Poissy
© Musée du Louvre
Since 2007, the Musée du Louvre has partnered with penitentiary authorities to lead workshops by museum staff. In 2009, further steps were taken with an ambitious and unprecedented project with the Poissy prison, which aimed to work with ten inmates to stage an exhibition of quality reproductions of Louvre masterpieces.
Writer Luc Lang, member of the Maison des écrivains et de la littérature, and architect-scenographer Philippe Maffre, who has already teamed with the Louvre, worked with a group of inmates, correctional counselors, probation officers and Louvre staff. The six-month initiative began with each of the ten inmates choosing a painting from the digital copies made for the traveling exhibition "Images of the Louvre". Using an artwork as a point of departure, the inmates then developed an artistic project – graphic design and text – and wrote the exhibition catalogue.
The exhibition was unveiled at a moving inauguration, held in the main Poissy prison courtyard, in the presence of inmates, project coordinators, Olivier Maurel, Director of the Maison Centrale de Poissy, Jean-Amédée Lathoud, Director of Penitentiary Administration, Henri Loyrette, Director of the Musée du Louvre, Claire Mérigonde, Director of Prison Rehabilitation and Probation Services (SPIP), representatives of the Louvre's Public Outreach and Artistic Education Department, Les éditions du Louvre, penitentiary technical services and journalists.
In the wake of such a rich and successful human and artistic experience, new cooperative projects are under consideration.
This achievement, a perfect illustration of the museum's desire to play a prominent role in civil society and share its collections with a wide audience, would not have been possible without the generous support of Frédéric Jousse, a loyal patron to whom the Musée du Louvre once again expresses its gratitude.
Corporate patrons will find all the projects in need of support on the dedicated mini-site: www.louvresponsorship.com

What will a late freeze completely kill?
What have you had killed by a late freeze in the past? (besides annuals or veggies you got in a hurry to plant)
I live near Chicago and my bleeding heart, which was ready to open it's blossom is frozen and splanned. Some other perennials that have come out early are curled. My hosta's are covered by compost and boxes and they are in great shape. But other early risers will have to get a haircut when it gets warm and start over. Some flowering shrubs are curling and forget my old varieties of hydrangeas that won't bloom this year. Sedums are not looking happy either. But that is Mother Nature. The cold will continue here for another week.
If your bleeding heart is the old fashioned kind (spectablis, not luxuriant) will be fine, even if the foliage looks wilted now. In fact, when this crazy winter weather finally breaks, you can go out and trim all the wilted stuff off, and it will send up fresh new foliage which will put out blooms without skipping a beat. Those guys are very hardy.
The sedum should be OK, too. The good news about perennials is that the really important part of the plant is NOT what shows above the ground - it's the roots - as long as the roots are healthy, the plant will almost certainly bounce back.
Your right Deb, the most important part is below ground level. I am not worried about anything because again it's Mother Nature doing her thing. But the old fashion bleeding hearts will be fine. The gold one I have had since it came on the market about 8 years ago..so it's a big beauty and was in a protected area. That's why it got its flowers early and looked lush. Not anymore. But we'll see what happens. The importance of that plant is foliage color anyway...the flowers are the bonus. It looks pretty sad right now. :(
Good science experience on early frost, one to put in the journal for future references.
My forsynthia is blooming- new variety fireworks? still seedling but doing good job. Some bleeding hearts and early anemones look wilted, in other locations they still perky and nice. I covered few lilies that came up so they are fine, uncovered today. Hellebores those that came up good look wilted too but they were covered with leaves and compost so am sure they will have more foliage to send and maybe even few flowers.
So far I have not seen anything that has been completely turn to mush.

Even though we ARE Nikon lovers,we are NOT affiliated with Nikon Corp. in any way.
Already have an account? Login
Hey, is there any good pens out there for signing photographs? We only have a Michaels craft store around here and Staples, and I like the one I got from staples, it's fine and doesn't run but I don't particularly like signing my lighter enlargements with black ink. So I went to our other store, and got a silver pen, but of course, it was like felt tip and was too thick..Any ideas? Also, a quick off the wall question, is it okay to have your photos in two different galleries? just wondering...
Hi Darlene.For signing glossy surfaces, I would recommend a Sharpie.You can get them in a few different colors.In fact, I just bought a silver metallic; though haven't tried it yet.Plus, you can get them in broad, medium or fine point.For signatures, try the fine point.Get one and try it out - they're not expensive.Terry.
OnTERRYo"The Nikon did the work; I just happened to be behind it at the time." TP
Don't know about pens but when I used to have my woodwork in galleries I sometimes ran into restrictions, especially when it was for sale and often as part of my contract with them, regarding the proximity of other galleries I could use. So, if photography is the same there is no problem with having one's work in several galleries absent restrictions required by the gallery owners. Ask!

Put Your Dancing Shoes On! This Will Be A Mighty Shindig!
The Crown Vics
The Lucky Strikes
Brauer House
1000 N Rohlwing Road #13
Lombard, IL, 60148
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Since 2003, the Chicago-based Crown Vics have been bringing audiences their intrepid blend of 1950's birth of Rock 'n' Roll and R&B showstoppers.
Steeped in the big beat rhythms of Bill Haley & the Comets, the screaming saxes of early honkers like Joe Houston and the frenetic energy of Freddie Bell and Jimmy Cavallo, the six piece Crown Vics recreate the vintage sounds, sights and vibe of an early 50's Alan Freed stage spectacular—one that has to be seen to be believed.
The Lucky Strikes
In the pantheon of Chicago rockabilly notables, Al Simon has blazed a trail and left a legacy matched by few. Beginning with the seminal roots rock outfit, The Rebel Rousers, followed by the art-rockabilly of The Git Gone Boys, Devil Dogs and continuing today with the iconoclastic The Lucky Strikes, Al continues to thrill patrons of dive bars across the Midwest.
Al Simon, lead singer and rhythm guitarist, was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. Son of local T.V. legend, "Smilin" Sam Simon, who hosted the popular local dance show, "Cotton Pickin' Hootenanny", Al had the opportunity to meet many of the famous rockers of the mid-fifties. Recalling those years back, Al says "those guys were real nice and always eager to show me a lick or two....except for Gene Vincent. he was kinda creepy and was always hittin' on my ma"!
Paul DiMatteo, lead guitarist and founding member of the Rebel Rousers, is truly a Chicago icon. Born of the mean streets of Northwest Chicago, his teenage years were spent as an apprentice musical assistant to the seminal 50's-60's Chicago greasa rock band, the Gargoyles. Paul's parents, concerned about his health and safety, sent him to live with his aunt in Memphis. It was there under the tutelage of several aged and retired former Sun Studio session guitarists that he honed his legendary rockin' style.
Wayne Harrison, aka "Clubfoot" Alfie, having been left on a door stoop as an infant and taken in by the most notorious Teddy Boy in East London, soon grew to be one of the most feared, pompadoured gangsters afoot. It was while recovering from a series of razor wounds collected at his latest rumble, that he discovered the healing elixir of rockabilly music. After wearing out his dad's Johnny Cash vinyl, he soon nicked his neighbor's tea chest and broom handle, strung it up and hasn't stopped slappin' since. A mad dash across the pond left him drying off in Chicago and in search of adventure in Yankeedom. After running into Al and Paul, they were finally able to discover ,through his booze riddled accent ,that he expressed a desire to play rockabilly. His wish was granted.
"Jumpin" Jeff McDermott, drums and backup vocals is the second half of the Rebel Rousers rhythm section. A classically trained percussionist with the Peoria symphony, Jeff came to rockabilly in an unusual manner. It was after a night of bad liquor and a woman of questionable repute, he wandered into the Death Delay Club, in the red light district of Peoria. There, he witnessed Danny Devil and the Delinquents, the primal rockabilly act of Southern Illinois. The spirit came within and he was never quite the same. Soon after, he hooked up as drummer for Hi Fi and the Roadburners, then ultimately with the Rebel Rousers. God bless his soul!

External drainage system! Please help!
Hi, I just joined this forum and I am hopping I can get some valuable advices and help with my drainage project. I purchased a house 3 years a go and my basement get damp every spring time for few months. I live in northen New Jersey. It is a finished basement and I decided to go with an external footer drainage system. the problem is mainly the water table rising during this time of the year. The problem is that this is a tri level house and the basement is not a full basement and one side of the house is a den next to the garage so I guess I won't be able to reach the footer on one side of the basement.
My question is this, If I install a footer drain on 3 side of the basement will this be sufficient to keep the water table below the basement slab and footer? My plan was to hire an excavator to do the digging for me then install Tuff N Dri waterproofing system and do the piping and the gravel myself... I would appreciate any professional opinion and any feedback or advice
Thank you in advance
Short of breaking up your garage floor and excavating the edge along the basement, you're stuck. Doing the three accessible sides might be enough. (Or not.)
From the Tuff-n-Dri website: "TUFF-N-DRI Basement Waterproofing System is installed only by Barrier Solutions Contractors. These contractors undergo training to ensure the highest quality application."

I just got some catalogues and Im wondering.....
Hello all, its Febuary and its that time of year that we start planning what we want to put in our gardens. I received 3 catalogues that include Rockwood Gardens, Spring Garden ect.
I really want to try Freedom Rose of Sharon, Blue Bird, perrenial hibiscus, and Spicy Cajun Louisiana Iris. All of these are listed as zone 4 but Im guessing the Rose of Sharons are more like zone 5. Has anyone in zone 3 or even better yet in Edmonton successfully overwintered and got flowers the following summer from any of these plants???
Would I be successful if I planted them in a nice microclimate, mulched well, and covered them with snow in the winter??? Ive been successful with 2 types of butterflybushes and I am hoping that they survived this winter. I hope Spring comes early to all of us who garden in this ICE BOX!!!
Don't order from them! They have a very poor reputation. I'm sure others here could fill you in more about them, and there's probably something about them in the Garden Watchdog (which you could google, i think - i don't have a link for it). Try more reliable places.
As far as zone-pushing goes, some people are very lucky with it. There are a lot of plants that don't realize they aren't hardy to zone 3. :) Good luck!
I have never heard of anyone being able to overwinter the Louisiana iris outside. The Louisiana irises are considered to be about a zone 6 plant....not so hardy in a zone 2 or 3.
Maybe there has been a breakthrough that makes this variety hardier????? Doubt it, but you never know.
I'm in Edmonton and I started two Rose of Sharon plants from seed (from southern Ontario). I got them through the first winter with heavy mulching. However, the plants are only a foot high. Also, they are slow to leaf out in the spring. If they survive this winter I'm going to plant them near the foundation on the south side of the house.
Thanks everyone. Brenda both "Black Gamecock" and "Spicy Cajun" Louisiana Iris are listed as zone 4 plants. I have checked other sources that say they are zone 4/5 plants. Im gonna go ahead and try them. Louisiana Iris's are one of the most beautiful in the world.
Ljpother- I hope your Rose of Sharon's survive and flower this summer. They are beautiful plants. I highly doubt that in Edmonton they will ever become a shrub, but if they behave like butterflybushes they will die to the snowline and flower regardless. I've been noticing that Edmonton area greenhouses are starting to bring more exotic plants. Last year I bought a "Blue Moon" wisteria I hope it survives and flowers this summer. Let us know what happens to your Rose of Sharons.

WASHINGTON — The Catholic vote is "too close to call," a survey from a Catholic research center at Georgetown University indicates.
"The vote of Catholics remains quite evenly split: 47% for President Obama and 45% for Gov. Romney," CARA (The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate) reported Sept. 17.
The statistically tied candidates have rarely topped 50% of the Catholic vote. The small percentage of Catholic registered voters will likely decide the winner of the Catholic vote in a country where one in four voters is Catholic.
CARA aggregated data from polls that surveyed a Catholic subgroup, including Pew, Gallup and TIPP.
Among Protestants, Romney leads the president by...READ MORE

Double Sunday (ダブルサンデー) is a double energy wave attack used by Raditz.
Raditz raises both of his arms up and charges two purple energy spheres. He then brings his hands forward and fires the energy spheres in the form of two energy waves at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.
Raditz uses this attack during his battle against Goku and Piccolo. Goku manages to dodge the blast while Piccolo loses his left arm to it, though he manages to regenerate it after the battle.
Appearances in games
The attack was named Double Sunday in the Budokai series, where its color is yellow. The attack is called Double Energy Wave (ダブルエネルギー波) in Dragon Ball Z: Super Gokuden: Kakusei-Hen, Full Power Energy Wave in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Fools Must Die! (愚か者には死あるのみだ!) in the Raging Blast games, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi and Dragon Ball Z For Kinect, 2x Energy Blast in Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, Death To You Fools! in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, and Two Hand Blaster in Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale. In Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, Raditz can not only use the attack, but also a more powerful version called Weekend.

Lawmakers in U.S. Congress have relaunched its anti-bullying caucus that first formed in 2012, but at least one lawmaker says legislation may not be the solution. The caucus originally formed to advocate for legislation aimed at curbing bullying, but Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., now says the solution may be to expect educators and others who spend significant amounts of time with students to not tolerate bullying.
