That was quick! Rough Linen here
Tuesday evening I ordered the summer bed from Rough Linen. When I got back to my shop after doing my weekly banking today, there was a large package for me. I couldn't believe that it could be my linens already but it was.
The pillow slips, sheet, and summer cover were simply wrapped in white tissue paper and tied with a lovely chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon and they smelled heavenly thanks to the lavender bag that was included.
I couldn't wait til they were washed and dried. I had to put them on the bed right away. The sheet is huge and the pillow slips have an envelope closure that so many don't. The summer cover has a wonderful border on all four sides. The only problem is my mattress is quite heavy so it was a bit difficult to get them tucked well.
I can't wait to go to bed!
Have you ever ordered from Zappos? The second you hang up the phone with them, or hit the submit button if ordering on line, the doorbell rings, and there's your stuff. I'm convinced there is a Zappos guy on every corner in America with their entire inventory.
Sounds like it's going to be tough for you to get out of bed in the morning, HK. I do believe that bedding is one thing, out of very few, worth spending $ on.
I was going to wait for him to lay his pumpkin head on it before I ordered one for him. He is at a steam show and will be home tomorrow night but I think I'm going to go ahead and order it. Nice bedding and pillows doesn't mean a thing to him but I just think I need the pair.
Aaaaahhh. I know I need to go ahead and order, but I just paid thousands to the dentist(ugh-not in the least as satisfying as purchasing those sheets!) and feel as though I should wait. Then, I wonder why I don't treat myself once in a while.
Cannot wait to hear how wonderfully you sleep tonight! :)
Cyn, I went with the smooth strong white, It is just a beautiful creamy white. I sent for samples months ago and they changed the smooth white to be closer in color to the Orkney. The Orkney white was a warmer white and now so is the smooth white. I do want to get the pillow shams for my back pillows.
Happy to report that I had a heavenly night's sleep. I adore my new linens. They feel so wonderful, even more splendid than I imagined. The summer cover was just the perfect weight, substantial yet not heavy or confining.
I am sure that not everyone would like the feel of linen but this is the textural experience that I longed for. Better even than the wonderful sheets I slept on as a youngster.
If you are in the market for new bedding this is surely the way to go.
Tib, too funny! :)
So, Holly-kay, guess I will be ordering today! Remember FoxesPad's thread on buying dining room tables? I just realized that it isn't just chairs I can't resist. I am always buying linens for the beds or tables. Sigh. Silly, I suppose.
Cyn, do you know what you are ordering yet? The lavender sachet that was sent along was tied up in the natural Orkney and I didn't care for it. I will be anxious to see what you pick,
Too funny on being a chair addict. My DD and I are constantly scouring our consignment shop for chairs.
My passions are china, table and bed linens, old silver, and desks for some crazy reason. I gave oldest DD my secretary desk and my youngest DD has dibs on my other beautiful desk. I can't wait to shop for a replacement.
holly-kay- how did your bed linens sleep? I had first seen the Rough Linen line on Allison's Atticmag site and wondered about them. I also would like to know if you find the sheet and pillow slips hot at all. I am very interested in ordering as well. Spent money on Peacock Alley bedding only to have it draw up considerably, so will not be going that route again. Can't wait to get your feedback. And your room looks beautiful by the way.
Sis, the linen has a superb hand, the finish is lovely, and it doesn't sleep hot at all. I am especially intolerant of heat so the fact that they felt so wonderfully cool was a pleasure.
I was especially surprised that there was no wrinkling although that could be because I slept so soundly. Rough Linens will be the only linens I purchase from here on out.
They aren't fancy sheets they are just so simply elegant. I always dress my bed in the morning with a coverlet and shams but honestly the linen is so good looking I could skip that and just have the linens.
Cyn, I think you would be happy either way. I will be using my summer cover in lieu of a top sheet this winter.
The summer cover in queen size is 105 X 100 and the queen flat is 96 X 118. I debated also about which way I should go and I don't think you can go wrong either way. The two sheets would be a bit less expensive than going the summer bed route. I just went to the site and two queen sheets and two queen pillowslips would be $402 compared to $464 for the summer bed. I plan on eventually buying another set and I will go with two flats and the pillowslips.
I do like the lovely deep hem the whole way around the summer cover but I don't think that makes it worth the extra money..
It was the color of it. When I fist looked at the sheets I was considering natural but when I bought my quilt I knew white was the way to go.
The Orkney definitely has a coarser appearance and feel so I am glad I went with the smooth white. I'm sure the Orkney would also be a beautiful choice.
So happy for you Sis, you will love the summer bed. I am glad that's what I got. Since I have one summer cover next time I will get two flats and the pillowslips.
You will also love how quickly you receive your order. I wasn't expecting mine until mid to late next week.
No worries akl and music. I have been a saver and very thrifty all my life. I turned 60 last year and figured if I don't enjoy what I have worked, invested, and saved for all my life now I never will. This is a month early birthday present to me from me! :)
May, according to the instructions cold machine wash with mild detergent. Preferably line dry which I can't do because I don't have a wash line and two our property is heavily wooded and the birds would have a field day bombing my fresh wash. Dry on medium, no over drying or over crowding.
Sis and Cyn, I sent for the rough linen sample card and chose from that. The Orkney seems to be looser as in more space between threads. IMO, the Smooth Signature strong white seems like it would be warmer because the weave is tighter but it certainly doesn't sleep hot.
The Orkney is described as having a homespun texture. I like the strong white from the sample and from sleeping on it but I can't realistically compare the two. Maybe you should send for a sample? The card has a sample of the Orkney in natural, white, and black. The St Bart's in blue white and natural, and the Smooth Signature in natural and white.
Cyn, I knew we were kindred spirits when you posted the beautiful Kinzig lamps from Artful Home. They must be closing out their inventory of Kinzig lamps because when they had a sale this summer there were only a few models listed.
Oh no! Maybe I had better not wait until Christmas. Yes, that is when I knew, too! I was so glad when you got your lamp!
Oh and another idea for the linens-I wash our sheets in Mrs. Meyer's lavender laundry soap. I am not sure I can really smell the lavender when I go to bed, but I love the idea and imagine I can. It is a little pricey, but I only use it for sheets, so the 68 load bottle for $16 lasts me a year or more.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lavender soap
Holly Kay
I'm glad you are enjoying your new linens. Your room is just so pretty. My linens came in 2 days also and I am on the East Coast. The package was like a Xmas present the way it was wrapped. I had called Trish since for some reason I couldn't get checkout to work and I was glad I spoke with her. The sheet I bought last year was from a different vendor and the strong white she has now is more of a creamy off white. She made sure I had the correct white for the pillow slips.
I bought the summer blanket in the St Barts in the pale blue. It's more blue green and I use it as a bedspread. I think it is a little heavier than the sheet. I used the sheet all last summer as a blanket
So , Cyn, yes you can use the sheet as a blanket. When you order go ahead and call in your order and talk with Trish. She is as lovely as her linens.
Trbbix LOL about Zappos. I have the same experience with shoes.com , you order and when you check your mail for confirmation, they are already shipped.
as you know, I LOVE my linen sheets. I'll never, ever go back to cotton -- linen is just the very nicest to sleep in. Cool, comforting, such a wonderful texture.
I have them both from RH and Rough Linen. The flat sheet I bought from Rough Linen is fantastic -- no more messing with the stupid elastic on the fitted sheets. And Ms. Rose is so nice to deal with.
Congratulations on your new purchase. I think my next will the summer cover from Rough Linen.
Denali, yes the new linen is creamier than the sample on the card but I knew it would be because Tricia had that on her website. I'm glad as the creamier version works better in my room.
Isn't the St Barts lovely? I love the SB blue but my coverlet is a much different shade of blue. I do want to get sham covers also. Maybe I could use the SB during the summer as the top cover.
Violet, I was thinking of you when I ordered my sheets because I found RL on a thread where we were looking for crisp sheets and you commented on how lovely your linen sheets are. Then Cyn posted again about the linen sheets and that made be finalize my purchase. Thank you and I love them.
I ordered the summer cover in white Orkney. When I was on her website, she did say the Orkney was heavier which is why I chose that and the fact I like the homespun appearance.
Do you recommend washing the cover before using it? I plan to wash the pillow slips and sheet but wasn't sure about the cover. Thanks!
Sis2, I always wash bedding before using except this time. I wanted to use it right away and when you see how gorgeous it looks and how good it smells, well decide for yourself.....I also saw on her website how others used it right away too.
I am so anxious to see how you like the Orkney. I am thinking that when I order a second set I may order the Orkney also.
denali- I can't wait for my linens to come. Bedding is one of my weaknesses I'm afraid, but hoping that this will cure me. I love simple styling and good quality.
hollykay- If the bedding doesn't need washing in order to soften it, I'll probably do what you did and put it right on. Do you use the cover by itself or do you use a top sheet? I am actually excited about getting rid of my top sheet to simplify things. However, I don't want to have to wash my cover weekly either or the duvet cover should I get one of those. Would love to hear what others do as well that have this bedding.
How about that! I am in Virginia, too! I placed my order today, also, and added a tablecloth and runner. I am so hopeless. I expect I will want those sheets for every bed in the house!
I suspect mine will take more than two days, though, because I chose regular shipping rather than two-day. Silly, but I saved a little!
Thanks to all you enablers here! I truly appreciate your support. ;)
Lol! I'm sure there has been a run on linens this week!
Sis, I am using the summer cover as my top sheet as they are basically the same material. The difference is size and the deep hem that runs the whole way around the summer cover. I'm not sure that I will order another flat sheet I will probably just use the summer cover all winter and buy a Summer Bed in Orkney this spring. Bedding is my weakness too but RL is the cure!
Cyn, I love the shams with the shell buttons so I want to order them and I just have to order the pinafore in black. It will be the perfect apron for me. Cyn, you Will want them for every room. I don't even like the thought of putting my percale sheets back on after experiencing these. I may need to order by Orkney Summer Bed early.
Holly, I'm glad you are enjoying the bedding. You will love the pinafore too. That was my first purchase -- something I was sure I would use and enjoy and a way to check out the fabric. I'm planning on getting the new apron style in black for my husband. I made the mistake of ordering a tea towel with my bedding and want more -- and placemats. I guess what I'm telling you is what you've already discovered -- it's easy to keep going back for more!
Cyn, what did you order? I have the natural Orkney cover and the smooth white sheet and pillow slips. I have two black dogs, so the white cover didn't seem like a good option. St. Bart's blue didn't go with the blue we already have in the room, and I just liked the homespun look too. I was concerned that the Orkney could be a bit rough for bedding, but the pinafore helped convince me to try it. We love it. It wasn't rough in the beginning (despite the name) and it keeps getting softer. Hope you have yours soon and enjoy them.
Lascatx, I ordered the pinafore and another flat sheet today. After sleeping on the linen I wanted at least one more flat sheet so I always have a fresh one while the other is being washed. I am anxious for the pinafore. I am sure I will use it often and it will be very handy when I gather eggs.
Cyn, I also just ordered the Mrs Meyers lavender detergent because I wanted a mild soap for my new sheets, It will be here Thursday so my first washing will be Friday evening.
Oh, we are such a good team!
Lascatx, I ordered the Orkney white summer bed (white Orkney summer cover, smooth white sheet and pillowcases), a white Orkney tablecloth and a natural Orkney runner. I debated about the Orkney natural for the summer bed, but was worried that I might not love it with the blue in the bedroom. Our guest bedroom downstairs may end up with the white set if I decide to order another in the natural Orkney. Downstairs, the bed is just a metal frame with the mattress and box springs, so I will probably NEED to order the bed skirt (both rooms on the main level have high antique beds) AND we are having about 30 neighbors over on the 30th for an "Say Good-bye to Summer and Hello to New Neighbors" party. Thinking the pinafore would look adorable. ;). Of corse, so would 30+ linen napkins from Tricia! That isn't going to happen. :(
Holly, yes, I like those shams, too. A set for the guest room would be so nice.
Yep, give a moose a muffin...
holly-kay- if you have a Target nearby, they sell the Mrs. Meyers soap. I use the dish liquid and I love it! If and when I recover from my first order I want to get another bed sheet for the same reason you stated. Oh I can't wait for my linens and the lavender!
Thanks Sis! I will look for it at our Target. I have Amazon Prime so I didn't have to pay for shipping but holy cow that stuff is expensive.
I am so excited for you to get your linens also. I know you will love them. Next summer I am not even going to put my coverlet on my bed. The linen is beautiful enough to stand on it's own.
I like how the lavender sachet makes the bedding smell so good. It's a nice touch.
Holly-kay, I have the bedding and pinafore, but I am jealous of the chickens. I would love to have some, but they aren't allowed here. Even if they were, I'd have a coupe of dogs who would likely think they were fair game. But yes, the pinafore will be great.
Amazon Prime is more expensive for some tings -- like liquids that are heavier to ship. The Mrs. Meyers is in a group by itself in our Target -- near, but not together with, the other laundry soaps.
Cyn, the pinafore would be adorable. I think a group of 30+ guests qualifies for the good stuff, but it would be the Vanity Fair or similar paper napkins for me. ;)
Yes -- moose a muffin or mouse a cookie club forming here! LOL
Lascatx and everyone in the Give a Moose...Club, I have a question on the pinafores-they are basically one size (up to size 14) it seems. I am about 5'3-4" and a size 4 when clothes run true to size (cut large, I am a 2, cut small, a 6). Will the pinafore swim on me do you think? I wonder how big the girls' size 8-10 is. Maybe I should call and ask, but thought I would run it past you (and anyone else who bought one) first.
Lascatx, if your city council ever gives permission to keep chickens I would highly recommend it. Our girls are sweeties. The one I call Sweetie Girl will hop onto my lap if we sit outside. They all would gladly come inside if we allowed it. We get the most gorgeous eggs from them and they are easy to care for.
Stella, if you buy from RL once you will be a convert for life. The linen is heavenly. I have spent so much money trying to replicate the feel of sheets when I was a youngster. Rough Linens, are all that, and more.
Violet, I love the bolsters too. I never thought about how much more comfortable that could make a bed. I do want the pillow shams. They are so pretty!
Cyn, order the pinafore in petite. I am only 5'2" and unfortunately a size 10 or 12 and that's what I ordered. It will fit you more loosely than on me. I will probably look like I am busting out all over but I needed the petite or it would be down mid calf. Better yet call Tricia and see what she thinks.
StellaM, I'm sorry. I'm not a good judge on the size for you. I had the opposite problem, I'm 5'12" and sent mine back to have them put longer straps on it. I wore mine when working on costumes for the high school musical. The big pockets and wide straps, no ties make it so easy to put on, take off, work in and adapt to different uses. I may have to get one in black too.
Holly-kay -- where did you live as a child and how did you experience linen bedding? I'd never heard of linen for bedding before reading about Rough Linen online maybe 2-3 years ago.
Lascatx, I am from PA and have always lived in this area. The sheets I was trying to duplicate were certainly not linen. I was trying to duplicate the lovely crispness of the sheets my DM washed and line dried. There was nothing more heavenly than crawling into bed between those crispy, crinkly sheets and inhaling the beautiful outdoor scent. They must have been percale but the percale sheets I just bought didn't have the body or crispness of what I remember.
Oh. I misunderstood. The only people I have heard of sleeping on linen sheets have been in Europe or the sheets have been. I remember hanging laundry on the line as a child helping my mom. I wonder if the birds ever left calling cards on the laundry. I don't remember it if they did, but I feel certain they would here. But we aren't allowed to have outdoor clotheslines either.
No problem Lascatx. When I re-read my post it did sound like I had slept on linen.
I have been searching for years to duplicate the great feel of my childhood sheets and have failed miserably. I have eight sets of sheets and only the percale set that I bought last month is close. I am giving my DDs every set but the percale. Now that I have tried the RL I really don't have to keep looking. They are more cost effective in the long run.
I have been checking in all day to see if Cyn and Sis received their linens yet. I so hope they are delighted with them.
Holly, I just received an email saying mine had shipped, so maybe I will have them by the beginning of the week-remember, I didn't opt for 2-day shipping! I have been checking here, too. Hope Sis gets hers before then. I think she ordered before I did.
Mine just shipped today as well so I'm guessing they won't be here until Monday. Will let you know as soon as I get them. Moving my youngest child into college on Saturday which is hard for me so my sheets will be a nice pick me up the first of the week. Don't think the empty nest is for me, lol!
Yippee! I received mine today. Hope you did, too, Sis.
Oh my Holly, you were not exaggerating about the wonderful lavender scent! I took out the tablecloth and runner and closed the box. I am going to change sheets tomorrow, so I will wake up Monday (first day back to school-ugh) feeling pampered and rested! I cannot wait!
Oh, and I have been thinking about the difference in our moms' percale sheets and ours today. I wonder if the fact that they were line dried is the difference. I didn't put my Thomas Lee sheets in the dryer last week and they are much crisper and more like what I remember than they are when I dry them in the machine. Hmmm...
Anyway, thanks for the push! I am over the moon!
Cyn, when the temp hits 40 degrees, I only line dry my sheets (I also have Thomas Lee sheets, btw), and it makes SUCH a huge difference in the feel and smell of the sheets. I love line-dried sheets. If it's sunny on turnover days, I line dry them as well in order to treat my tenants to line-dried sheets. The sun also dries them so quickly! And of course, the energy savings are great, as is the effect on the electric bill. In addition, they actually wrinkle a lot less when line dried.
One suggestion for your first night, at least, with your new Rough Linen sheets: take a shower just before getting into bed. There is nothing like climbing into fresh sheets with a fresh, clean bod!
Holly-Kay - I'm sure you've washed these at least a few times. My fear - with a California king sized mattress - is always shrinkage. What have you seen / what can you tell us about that?
One of my happiest memories is DMIL #1's wonderful starched sheets. I tried for years to replicate them and never mind ironing and starching sheets. Unfortunately, DH#2 - who never complains about anything - loves the flannels sheets so much. We have (sigh) made it through the summer with them still on (and me going through menopause).
Boy oh boy would I love to sneak these sheets on and triple up on his comforter, on his side of the bed..... :)
OB the sheets wash wonderfully. I used Mrs Meyers lavender aroma therapy laundry detergent and it is grand. The pillow slip shrunk just a smidgen, and as they were a tad bit large at first they now fit perfectly.
I didn't notice any shrinkage in the sheet but the sheets are huge! I honestly can't imagine them not being perfect for your bed as far as size. The rough linen website gives dimensions of each size.
Cyn I received my package with the pinnie and another sheet on Friday morning when I got the mail at my shop. That means they actually arrived Thursday, amazing considering they ship from CA. My pinnie (adult petite) is too short for my liking so I am going to gift it to my DD and order the adult large. I love the crisscrossed strap design of it and can't wait to get the longer length. You are taller and more slender than I am so maybe you don't want the petite as it is definitely petite as far as length goes.
I do think line drying is the way to go and I agree that line drying adds to the crispness. I wish we didn't have so many trees. I would love to hang my sheets out.
Oldbat2be, I haven't noticed any shrinkage either and Holly-kay isn't kidding about the sheets being HUGE. They tuck deeply and firmly under our mattress with room to spare. I just measured and the mattress is 12" thick and the sheet easily has another 12" tucked under on the end I pulled out. My husband didn't think he would like an unfitted bottom sheet, but as soon as we put them on, he was sold. He quickly found out they stay on better than the elastic bottom sheets.
I am so glad everyone is happy with their sheets. Now here is another product to make things more comfortable. My mattress pad is from Snugfleece Woolens.. It's just another player in a comfortable bed. There are several places that sell it and you can do a google search for them. I always thought wool would be too hot, but it is not at all.
I began several years ago building my dream bed and putting it together piece by piece. First was my iron bed from Brass Beds of VA, then came my latex mattress, next up was the snugfleece mattress pad, then the latex pillows. After that I got one Rough Linen sheet to use as a top sheet, then this year I bought the Summer Bed. I am in heaven at night.
Here is a link that might be useful: mattress pad
Denali, I have been building my dream bed also. The first was my Cloud Luxe mattress, then Tib suggested my wonderful latex pillows. I just bought a cotton mattress pad as a temporary fix as my pad that is currently on it creases and drives me nutso. It is so uncomfortable. I still want to find the perfect mattress pad and the one you linked may be the solution. I originally wanted to go with wool but read that there is often a sheepy smell. Did you find that to be the case?
Tib, I agree about the flat sheet being so easy to fold. I won't be going back to fitted sheets again.
Denali, Do you have the cotton backed or a polyester backed version. I would like for it to be washable because I don't want to inhale dry cleaning odors but I would rather have a cotton backing.
Which model did you choose and would you go with the same one again?
Now. Just. Stop! Yikes, Denali! I am not going to click on that link...not today anyway. ;)
Tib, the bed is made and ready. The white Orkney cover is such a lovely creamy white shade and I love the way the bed and room look with the summer cover! I cannot wait to crawl into those sheets. I am thinking of taking my shower and going to bed around 5pm. Hehheh.
Holly, why thank you! No one has ever called me 'taller' at 5'3" or so (shrinking a little maybe). I used to be slender, skinny even, but now, not so much. Menopause is not a pretty sight, I am afraid. Just can't seem to lose the 10-15 pounds. In truth, it should be 20-25 pounds, but I have given up on that at this point.
I hope Sis got her package and is as happy as we are.
Cyn- I received mine yesterday too! Plan on putting mine on Monday after I wash the sheet and pillowslips. They look really nice and I love the texture of the bed cover which has a nice nubby look which I like. I think I'm going to order the Myriad curtains next. My stark white curtains don't look good with the off white linen. Yes- the saying about giving a mouse of cookie is so true!
Well Sis, it may as well been me saying it because I am past that stage also. I used to be 5'2" but now 5'1" and I found that 25 lbs that Cyn is trying to lose. Maybe if I was put on a rack and stretched the pounds would look better on me.
Honestly a whole day in my bed would be a small glimpse of heaven but my darn pupsters refuse to cooperate. To them 7:15 IS sleeping in. I do find myself getting ready for bed earlier though.
Lascatx I have heard that wool is great at keeping temperatures normal and wicks away moisture but I also can't imagine wool in the summer so I will read reviews before deciding.
At 62, I am just going to relax. I have a friend who says women began to gain weight as they aged way back in the caveman days because we couldn't out-compete young women for food, so we needed to carry extra fat to avoid starvation. She says we are genetically predisposed to weight gain. Ha. Sounds good to me. ;)
Now, if only we became taller as we gained. That would be cool!
I put my bedding on today and didn't wash anything except the pillowslips. I just love the linen! I had a small glitch however. When I went to put the bedcover on, I noticed about 4 purplish stains on it, almost like smudges of some kind. I sprayed them with oxiclean and dabbed them with a warm wet cloth and they did come out thank goodness! I was dreading having to send it back and wait for a replacement.
Excited about sleeping with the new bedding tonight. If anyone is thinking about this bedding, it really is good quality.
Sis, I am so glad that the spots came out! I imagine you felt a bit heartsick when you saw them. The sheet and bedcover looked so pristine and smelled so heavenly from the sachet.
Sleeping on the linen just seems to get better. I can barely wait to get into bed in the evenings.

The Royal Danish Navy is going to sea with applications developed on Linux but running on the Linux-compatible, real-time LynxOS from LynuxWorks (lynuxworks.com). "The Linux interfaces are becoming the real-world definition of open systems", said Dr. Inder Singh, LynuxWorks' CEO.
"LynxOS is very unique in being a hard real-time operating system that is ABI-compatible with Linux", he added. The Royal Danish Navy doesn't even need to recompile to move applications from Linux-based development systems onshore to the LynxOS platform on ship.
LynxOS has been on the market for more than a decade and was designed into Space Station Freedom before the project was re-organized as the International Space Station. It is also used in Airbus jets. On the ground, LynxOS is also used on HP LaserJet printers and Xerox copiers.
"Requirements for certification are pretty strenuous", Singh said. Extensive documentation is required, and no Linux-based system has yet been certified for real-time space or military use. "There have been many attempts, but no one has been able to get one certified", Singh said.
Observers of Linux's inexorable progress add, "Yet".

The entertainment industry's war with technology goes back a long way. In 1984, MPAA Chairman Jack Valenti said, "The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public what the Boston Strangler is to a woman home alone." But we can trace the current system of fears and balances back to 1908, when music publishers claimed player piano rolls violated music copyrights. That case lost in the Supreme Court, but the industry prevailed on Congress to establish the "mechanical license", which established the right to reproduce published music in return for a regulated royalty. In 1931 some music composers claimed that a hotel's radio station violated copyrights by playing their music. The composers lost that one. In the 1960s, book publishers failed in their suit against photocopiers, but the Supreme Court ruling on the case allowed "fair use" of published works. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, broadcasters took on Community Antenna Television or CATV. (The movie industry was also involved, forcing theater employees to wear buttons that said "Fight Pay TV".) Supreme Court rulings on two cases opened the way for the cable TV systems we have today. So it's clear we're still in this fight for the very long haul.
But at least we can pause to observe two current victories for technology over those who would control it: the launch of Creative Commons and the Librarian of Congress' rejection of CARP's (Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel) recommendations for imposing stiff requirements and performance use fees on internet radio stations.
Creative Commons (www.creativecommons.org) was launched at the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference in Santa Clara, California, on May 16, ending months of quiet development. It is led by Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law professor and author of two highly influential works (Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace and The Future of Ideas), both of which argue against the entertainment industry's constant campaign to bend copyright law in their favor and to replace the Internet's commons with a highly regulated system for the supply-controlled distribution of "content".
The project lives at Stanford University, where it is highly involved with the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society. It also receives what it calls "generous support" from the Center for the Public Domain (formerly the Red Hat Center), which is headquartered at Duke University and chaired by Red Hat founder Bob Young.
Rather than simply lobbying against the entertainment industry, Creative Commons offers concrete solutions to the first sources of creative goods: the artists themselves. In his speech to the conference Lessig said,
This content that the law says is mine, I should be able to make available on my own terms. We need machine-readable expressions of the author's intentions about the nature of the content. The world should not be divided between those who believe in control and those who believe in access. Those who want both, on an individual level, should be able to compromise.
While Creative Commons was in development, internet radio, which includes thousands of stations (many of them making resourceful use of Linux and other open-source software), was under severe threat by the CARP's recommendations, which were issued in February 2002 and widely expected to knock most stations off the air. If adopted, the CARP recommendations would have become regulatory fact on May 22, 2002. But on May 21, the Librarian of Congress issued an "order rejecting the panel's determination", which would become final one month later. Stations and advocacy groups like SaveInternetRadio.org breathed a public sigh of relief.
But the issue is far from resolved. CARP is a creature spawned by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which is still in force. More importantly, the whole idea of the Commons is still not well understood—especially on Capitol Hill, where the influence of the entertainment industry remains enormous.
In his speech Larry Lessig said, "We will never succeed in advocating the importance of this space until ordinary people get it. And they won't until technologists begin to express to politicians how important these values that they built into technology are to freedom and creativity."

Hi guys, don't know what happened, put in title and post closed with nothing in the body, I am considering getting a DAB Radio but know nothing about them, if I program a local radio station in, ie BBC local radio Tees, I live in the Tees area, and happen to be in another part of the country, ie visiting my son in Glasgow, can I still get that station, this may appear to be a silly question but as I say I know nothing about them, all help and advice appreciated.

Probably not, but we need someone from Glasgow to confirm that. Wikepedia says: BBC Tees is available on DAB in Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire and online via the station's website. So, if you can't live without Radio Tees, have you considered an internet radio?

DAB probably has a less generous distribution than the equivalent FM signal. So can you receive Radio Tees on FM in Glasgow?
Probably the best way to receive local stations in a distant location is to use an Internet Radio - you could then receive Radio Tees in Australia! You would need access to the Internet at your distant location to do this (I use WiFi to connect our Internet Radios to my Router and can receive all BBC Local radio stations in my home). I also like to listen to stations broadcasting in The USA.

thanks onionskin & dms-05, I just wondered if it was something like a freeview signal, I have both freeview and freesat, prefer the latter but virgin offered me a deal which included freeview for less than I was paying them, strangest thing, I can get lots of radio stations on these channels but not local radio, anyway, again many thanks for your advice, I appreciate your time.

Georgia got a commitment from Grayson defensive lineman Justin Young on Saturday, pushing the Bulldogs' commitment list to six for the class of 2015.
New defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt seems to be making a splash in the recruiting department as four of the six current commits are defensive players — all four defenders committed after Pruitt was hired in mid-January.
Young is considered a three-star prospect and the No. 44 defensive tackle in the country by Scout.com
What a difference a day makes – at least for Dominick Sanders.Dominick Sanders wasn't so sure he would visit Georgia on Sunday. By Monday? He was committed to Georgia.
Terry Godwin didn't know what sort of reaction his commitment to Georgia would get Saturday morning, but the one he got wasn't what he expected.
"They were speechless," Godwin said of John Lilly and head coach Mark Richt.
Godwin, a 2015 athlete, helped Callaway to a 12-2 record and a spot in the AAA state semifinals, and his commitment will continue serious momentum going into the new recruiting cycle.
The move to Jeremy Pruitt is paying off for Georgia the recruiting world already.
Nashville, Tenn., defensive back Rico McGraw committed to Pruitt and the Bulldogs Thursday night.
"Officially committed to the University of Georgia! Thank everyone who's been involved and supporting me," he tweeted Thursday night.
McGraw is considered the top 2015 prospect in Tennessee and one of the top 100 players in the country, according to Scout.com. McGraw got the offer from the Bulldogs on Wednesday.
ATLANTA — Some of the top prospects in the state fought for state championships on Friday and Saturday — many showed just why they are being so heavily recruited in the first place.
Aquinas won its first football state title in school history with a 27-7 win over Calvary Day in the championship of the Class A Private School on Friday. The Irish were powered by 2015 athlete Ruben Garnett, who is considering Duke, Georgia Tech and Georgia; he finished the game with 111 yards and a touchdown.
Fingernails are a little short this time of year for college coaches out recruiting — and they will be even shorter over the next two months.
Georgia will focus on closing out its top-10 ranked recruiting class, but will have to reverse the trend of a difficult last few days on the recruiting front in order to do so.
The Bulldogs lost out on Gallatin (Tenn.) receiver Josh Malone to Tennessee on Thursday. Meanwhile, Carrollton defensive tackle Dontavious Russell decommitted from the Bulldogs to open up his recruiting.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Georgia men's basketball season has gotten off to a disappointing start.
The Bulldogs lost 94-82 to Davidson Thursday night in the first round of the Charleston Classic. Georgia now has a losing record (1-2) as a result and the Wildcats (1-3) earned their first win of the season.
Georgia's season gets no easier as the Bulldogs will face another challenge when they are pitted against the Clemson-Temple loser today at 7 p.m.
"We could not defend them without sending them to the free throw line," coach Mark Fox said after the game.
A day before a slew of major recruits show up for Georgia's game with LSU, the Bulldogs got their first commitment in seven weeks.
Keyon Brown (6-foot-3, 240), a four-star defensive end from Hardee High School in Wauchula, Fla., picked Georgia over Clemson, Florida State, Tennessee and Miami. The commitment gives the Bulldogs their 17th verbal commitment of the 2014 recruiting cycle.
A commitment from Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College defensive back Shattle Fenteng has Georgia on the cusp of having the No. 1 recruiting class in the country.
Fenteng (6-foot-2, 184 pounds) picked Georgia over Ole Miss and West Virginia Friday night. He is rated as a three-star prospect by Fox Sports NEXT.
"I played at Grayson High School, so I will only be about an hour away from home now. My parents were very happy when Georgia offered me and they are very happy to have me close to home again," Fenteng told Fox Sports NEXT.
Georgia added to its impressive recruiting pull Saturday with the commitment of defensive tackle Lamont Gaillard of Pine Forest High in Fayetteville, N.C.
Gaillard (6-foot-3, 315 pounds), considered a four-star prospect by Fox Sports NEXT and the No. 3 overall defensive tackle in the country, picked the Bulldogs over Clemson, Alabama, Florida, among others.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Minnesota Wild's Run To The Playoffs
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 11:01 AM ET
Comments (1)
from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune,
Back on Jan. 27, the Wild was buried in 12th place and 16 points behind the Chicago Blackhawks. This morning, at least for one day, the Wild kicked the Blackhawks into a wild-card spot, leapfrogged the star-studded rival for third-place in the Central Division and put itself in terrific mathematical position to make the playoffs for a third consecutive season.
With six games left in the regular season, that is quite an achievement when one considers how down and out this team was before Dubnyk came to the rescue Jan. 14. In the past nine weeks, the Wild is an NHL-best 24-5-1 to become the toast of the NHL. It hasn't lost by more than a goal since Jan. 19, hasn't lost consecutive games since Jan. 19-20 or consecutive games in regulation in 34 starts by Dubnyk (26-6-2).
Under Dubnyk, the Wild has outscored its opponents 104-57 for a league-best (by far) plus-47 goal differential. To be clear: 57 goals allowed in 34 games from a team that allowed 58 in the 14 games before Dubnyk's acquisition.
"I don't remember having this many games in such a short period of time," captain Mikko Koivu said after he and linemate Nino Niederreiter each scored two goals against the Kings. "The last two months, it's been a lot of hockey. I think this break will be good for us.

Unsafe Hockey Helmets
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 09:46 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Steve Fainaru of ESPN,
More than a quarter of all helmets worn by hockey players, from the NHL to youth leagues, are unsafe, according to an independent study provided to "Outside the Lines" that ranked hockey helmets based on their ability to reduce concussion risk.
Out of 32 helmets in the marketplace that were tested by researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, nine failed to earn a single star on a five-star scale and were classified as "not recommended." Just one helmet, made by Warrior Sports, received three stars. The rest received one or two stars.
"In general, they're low performers," said Stefan Duma, the head of Virginia Tech's department of biomedical engineering and mechanics, which spent three years and $500,000 developing the ratings. The study did not receive funding from the helmet industry.
Hockey players wearing the "not recommended" helmets risk incurring at least six concussions per season, and in some cases more than eight, according to Virginia Tech.
"We don't think anybody should be playing in these helmets," Duma said of the non-recommended models.

Good Goal Or Bad Goal
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 09:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
via Dave Hodge of TSN,
Thumbs down to the ongoing confusion about what constitutes a "good goal" that is propelled into the net by a skate.
The first goal in yesterday's 4-2 win by the Boston Bruins over the New York Rangers was a deliberate attempt by Boston's Milan Lucic to score a goal that way. He slid his right skate to make contact with the puck, thus, changing its direction, and sending it into the net. "No goal" was the call on the ice. Video review changed the call and the Bruins were ahead 1-0.
The ref's opinion was easily supported, but so was the decision to award the goal. If that sounds crazy, it fully explains the problem the NHL has dealt with for what seems forever. And there is only one solution, which is to allow all goals scored directly from skates.
You hear it said that players, especially goalies, would be in danger if kicking at pucks became legal, but kicking at pucks is legal. You just can't kick them into the net. It doesn't mean players don't use their skates to try to control pucks, to free them from scrums. What players don't do is kick wildly with their skates, near the crease or anywhere else on the ice. They wouldn't start doing that if a rule said they could score goals with their skates in any fashion. As it is, they try to score goals with their skates and hope they get the benefit of the rule that nobody really understands.
You can review the goal here...

The Great Connor McDavid
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 08:50 AM ET

from Matt Higgins of the New York Times,
For Connor McDavid, an 18-year-old center for the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League and the most anticipated N.H.L. prospect in decades, compliments accrue as steadily as goals and assists.
The Otters' assistant coach Jay McKee, who played 13 seasons as an N.H.L. defenseman, has been known to pull out his phone on the bench during games to record a clip of McDavid's dazzling play.
Tim Murray, general manager of the Buffalo Sabres, a self-described "glass-half-empty guy" not given to giddy appraisals, said he has not seen a better junior player. "I watch him too much and I think too much about him," said Murray, who has been scouting teenage N.H.L. prospects for 23 seasons. "I wish I could help myself."
Sherry Bassin, the Otters' 75-year-old owner who possesses a lifetime of hockey memories and a voice like an old record, scratchy and faint, recalled that the Hockey Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk, who coaches the O.H.L. rival Barrie Colts, said of McDavid: "He skates like Bobby Orr. He has the vision of Wayne Gretzky. And he handles the puck like Mario Lemieux."

Prepare For A Long Playoff Run In Tampa
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 08:42 AM ET
Comments (2)
from Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times,
Tampa Bay will be in the playoffs. The biggest question that remains is how far it can go once it gets there.
In one word: deep.
This team is noticeably better — and more playoff-ready — than the one that got swept in the first round by the Canadiens last April.
"It's night and day," coach Jon Cooper.
The difference starts in net. Had Ben Bishop, a Vezina Trophy finalist last year, not dislocated an elbow shortly before last year's playoffs, Tampa Bay might have had a different fate. Sure, Bishop doesn't have playoff experience, but with him and touted rookie Andrei Vasilevskiy as his backup, Cooper feels like he has two No. 1s.
There's also better depth. Tampa Bay, the league's highest-scoring team, can wear teams down by rolling four lines. The "Triplets" — Ondrej Palat, Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov — form one of the most productive, dynamic lines in the league. Steven Stamkos has 40 goals. Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said the Lighting's third line is like a first line. And fourth-line center Brian Boyle has 15 goals. Usually in the playoffs secondary scoring is vital, and few teams have more of it than Tampa Bay. Every forward is a threat and responsible defensively.

The Play Of Jimmy Howard And A Dougie Hamilton Offer Sheet?
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 08:36 AM ET
Comments (3)
from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe,
- Cam Ward, Mike Smith, Kari Lehtonen, and Antti Niemi are examples of well-paid goalies who are not doing enough to earn their salaries. At his current pace, Jimmy Howard may join that group. The ex-Maine Black Bear, under contract with the Red Wings through 2019 at nearly $5.3 million annually, is not up to his previous standard of play following a groin injury. Howard missed most of January and part of February. He's been struggling to catch up. On Thursday, Howard was pulled after letting in three goals on 10 shots to San Jose. Petr Mrazek, who relieved Howard, could be the starter in the playoffs at this rate. Detroit is a good team. But below-average goaltending will sink anybody in the playoffs.
- Dougie Hamilton has missed four games because of an undisclosed injury suffered March 21 against Florida. The Bruins remain optimistic that Hamilton will return before the end of the regular season. They could use his three-zone presence. This has been a strong third NHL season for Hamilton (10-32—42, 21:20 of ice time per game). Hamilton's growth only increases the odds that a desperate team such as Edmonton will sign him to an offer sheet. The Bruins will match at any price, but an offer sheet of $6 million annually would throw off the Bruins' budget. They'd prefer to sign him to a second contract more in line with what Minnesota gave Jonas Brodin ($4,166,667 per season over six years). This may be wishful thinking.

More Goals Needed
by Paul on 03/29/15 at 08:30 AM ET

from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
So, how to bring back the scoring? Cutting down the size of goalie equipment would be the place to start, but that has become a fool's discussion. The league has talked about it for nearly 20 years, the goalies have pushed back, and tiny nips and tucks have led to status quo offensive stifling. The goalies won't give up their pads and the Lords of the Boards don't have the temerity or common sense to stand up to the puck-stopping brotherhood who have taken the game's offense hostage. Sad, really.
I see two ways out of this:
1. Maintain the icing standard throughout the game. If a team must kill a penalty, it gets no relief — it must play the puck just as if the sides had equal manpower. No question it will result in more power-play goals. The team that committed the penalty will suffer the consequences. How novel. As of late last week, 22 of the league's 30 teams failed to score on more than 80 percent of their power plays.
2. Borrow from lacrosse's rulebook a bit and prohibit clubs from skating five players in their defensive end during five-on-five play. In this scenario, the team that advances the puck into the attacking zone will have five skaters battling against four skaters and one goalie. That sounds like even strength to me. Truth is, under current rules, all clubs are really shorthanded in the attack zone during five-on-five, with five skaters opposed by five skaters and one goalie (who wears the pads of nearly two skaters). We call that an even deal?
For a game that often appears to be in a state of mayhem, with players darting around faster than ever before, there rarely is much mayhem around the net. Passing and shooting lanes are typically sealed up, and goalies, overpadded and too influential in the game's outcome, too easily prevent fat rebounds. The two changes suggested here would bring on the mayhem.

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
- There is one way to avoid the sad spectacle of dumping teams playing dump games at this time of the year, and that is to freeze the standings relating to lottery seeding at the trade deadline.
- The more numbers and the more information the better, but I will allot more value to the points-per-60-minutes stat when players begin to play 60 minutes a game.
- Sidney Crosby is an outstanding player, but is anyone honestly trying to suggest he is having a better season than Ryan Getzlaf? Stop. Just stop.
- Boy, that Tom Wilson of the Caps has sure made a splash in the NHL, hasn't he?

On Al Arbour and his St. Louis legacy
by George Malik on 03/29/15 at 12:57 AM ET
Comments (0)
These kinds of articles are so superb that you can only begin at the beginning, and this one from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Dan O'Neill is a helluva read:
The way Scotty Bowman sees it, three components turned the St. Louis Blues into Stanley Cup finalists during their first three seasons. One was goaltender Glenn Hall. One was a trade to acquire Red Berenson and Barclay Plager.
And one was Al Arbour.
"He was the toughest competitor, most courageous player I ever coached," Bowman said. "He was the guy all the young players looked up to."
Alger Arbour now leans on every bit of that resilience and fortitude. He is being treated for Parkinson's disease and dementia near his home in Sarasota, Fla. He has difficulty with balance, with recollection and with words. He is in hospice care. The prognosis is dire.
But you can count on one thing. Arbour will battle, as he did as a defenseman for the Blues, as he did throughout a career in which he has been with teams that won the Stanley Cup eight times, representing four cities. The fact one of those locations isn't St. Louis is a pockmark on a franchise that is without a championship 48 seasons into its existence.

how old is your oldest outdoor tufa project??
i'm new to tufa, and interested in hearing from any of you about the lifespan of tufa. how old, and how is it holding up, especially in parts of the country with frreze/thaw cycles?? thanks, donna
Hi Donna
You have to ask very specific questions about what type of planter and it's location.
I have yet to see even ONE picture of a tufa planter sitting on the ground in winter filled with snow.
You will see pictures of little pots on decks and mushrooms out in the snow. But if you are thinking of large tufa planters that will remain filled with soil, be covered in snow or touch the ground all winter you may be out of luck.
I have never found a single Tufa planter that has lasted on the ground in a Z5. I believe they are like urban legends. Everyone knows someone who has one but when you try to find proof of it's longevity it's impossible to come by.
But if you think you have it tough I'm in a z3 where 8 inch thick concrete walls get destroyed by ice.:)
My one and only tufa planter I made is app. 15" x 8" and the sides are only 5" high. It has hens and chicks planted in it. It's lasted 3 years in Michigan zone 5 winters, it has always sat on mulch, never direct contact with ground. It was made with a Portland cement, sand and peatmoss combo.
I suspect small shallow troughs filled with desert type plantings should beat most freeze thaw situations.
But a bigger trough is going to require careful placement and possibly some protection to survive a winter under the snow. Especially in areas where freeze/thaw is a frequent occurance. Protecting it from freezing to the ground is very important. Drain rock, or possibly a treated wood frame under the trough would help protect it from frost heaves.
thank you everyone, for the responses. how then, do people make fountains, etc? they must drag them inside over winter? would reinforcing with wire frames or rebar help with freeze/thaw stability or is that just for strength? what about the tufa on a cement block wall? wouldn't the different textures freeze/thaw at diiferent rates, and then crack the tufa? donna
"how then, do people make fountains, etc? they must drag them inside over winter?"
I wouldn't even be tempted to invest the energy and materials to make a fountain out of tufa, a product with a finite lifespan. Yes, people do it, but I visualize a real mess when it starts to fall apart. WHEN, not IF.
People who make concrete outdoor fountains drain them (and make sure they STAY drained) before the first freeze hits. And if the concrete wasn't made with care and attention to details, it may not last long, either.
I have the feeling that local climate has a lot to do with the lifespan of hypertufa. Here in the PNW, we get a lot of rain, then sudden freezes. If some water has migrated into the concrete, and then expands when freezing temps hit, the concrete is going to deteriorate. But there are probably places that are dry when the cold temps hit, and there may not be much moisture within the concrete piece itself, and that may promote less cracking and less damage. But that's just my theory.
Someone in CA once said: "You can argue with the laws of physics all you want, but you're going to lose." And that's really the bottom line.
I've had 'tufa and concrete troughs left outside for 3 years now, left them planted and sitting on the ground. It gets down to -60 here in the winter and no damage, plus the sedums always continue growing in the spring.
I flip my fountain over before the snows come and then set it up again after the snow melts in the spring.
Hi Donna
Most folks in my area cover their birdbaths and fountains with plastic.
It's funny though I have concrete pedestal planter about a foot in diameter with thin 1.5 inch walls that has been outside filled with dirt for as long as I can remember. At least 25 years. I got it 10 years ago.
I plant it with annuals like petunias so it is usually dead and bone dry before the snow flies.
My old inground concrete ponds are crack free after ten years as well. They are drained but still fill with snow and ice every winter. They are in a z5. But they were made extremely strong on a rebar basket.
Tufa on a block wall might survive if in a very dry area where the ground doesn't freeze and heave. The blocks will move, the tufa will not. If you can keep the tufa area dry enough in winter it has a chance.
I always tell my customers to empty and turn their tufa pots upside down in the winter, and they can leave them out. It is fine. When they are spending that kind of money for a piece, it better last. I am in z5 and I keep my containers out all winter. I made one oval pot out of tufa and I made a "sister" pot out of portland and sand. Same thickness, and wintered them over together in the same conditions. The portland and sand pot got a crack, the tufa did not.

My Hazledean roses
Started blooming and are just beautiful. I think they are the hardiest yellow roses I have ever had.
My Hazeldean came from Dieter Martin Greenhouse Langham, SK and has been blooming beautifully this spring. It is, reputably, very hard to start and he is the only one I know of to do it for commercial production.
Paul Olsen from Edmonton has been talking of moving to the Rainy River area and staring a rose nursery there. I am sure you could get a Hazeldean from him if has got it going yet.
Yes I get mine from Dieter Martin as well. They are very hardy. -40 a couple years and still leaf out right to the top. I don't know any one else who sells them. If you google Dieter martin Nursery you can get his phone #, Doesn't really have a web site but very helpful to deal with.It's almost in full bloom now so will post another picture soon.
I don't think i've ever seen Hazeldean for sale anywhere. I'd love to have a beautiful yellow rose like that!
Rainy River, eh? That's only a couple of hours away....
Hi I went online and had a hard time trying to find a web site for Dieter greenhouse and yes they only have a phone number. Marcia paul doesn't have anything showen in Rainy river .
Does Dieter ship to Ontario? Can't get thro on the phone-will have to try again. One of these roses was at our hort. plant auction a few years agobut don't know where it came from. Will keep looking. Lois

I think many of the libertarians...
of Rockwell's age and level of participation in the movement in one way or another have probably been disenchanted with politics for some time.
They've tried to inform the public for years while most of us - including myself - have been sitting in an ignorant bliss with the wool firmly held over our eyes. Over that time, few political battles have ever been won. However, Rockwell and others have had more success through educational writing. I believe they are sticking to what they've had the most success with in the past.
In some ways, the strategy Lew Rockwell and others like him have taken are necessary. Enough people must be educated before a big enough ground swell can develop to influence politics. It's difficult to compete with the big money. The Establishment is entrenched and has deep roots. There is a critical amount of people to be reached at which the politicians must pay attention. Let's hope that number of pissed off people don't have to resort to a violent revolution.
I think the we are reaching a turning point. I just hope we can avoid economic calamity and widespread civil unrest. Sometimes I think the "leaders" of this world believe reality doesn't matter - that their clout and money can ultimately solve any problem - that they can wave a magic wand and make the problems go away that they have created - that an 80% disapproval rating of Congress is no big deal.
They will learn one day. Reality could care less about their fanciful illusions. People eventually reap what they sow - or reap what was sown by those they emulate that came before them. Some of them were lucky enough to die before it came time to pay the piper. That day is coming though - sooner than they may think.

Convicted briber Basim Sabri is back at City Hall, but this time he's adopted the mantle of civic reformer.
Sabri is a key figure behind a passel of charter amendments, including several to rein in the City Council and Planning Commission, that land at City Hall this week.
Sabri spent 19 months in federal prison camps in 2005-2007 after his conviction on three counts of bribery involving Council Member Brian Herron, who also did time.
Officially, the amendments are submitted by Power By The People, which labels itself a political action committee. It filed an election registraiton statement on Tuesday. Sabri admitted that the chairperson, Luna Al Qutob, is a relative after a reporter noticed that they share office addresses. Her driver license lists Sabri's Shorewood address but Sabri said she's since moved to Minneapolis.
Here's what the group proposes:
• Cutting the number of council members from 13 to 5, and electing them and the mayor to no more than two two-year terms.
• Electing the police chief, city attorney, and city coordinator.
• Electing the Planning Commission, with two representatives from each of the five wards limited to two two-year terms, and stripping it of the county, park and school board representatives who sit on it now.
The ideas of reducing the size of the council and returning to the two-year terms that voters lengthened to four years in 1984 get kicked around periodically by some populists. But electing city department heads and the planning commission are less-traveled ideas.
Sabri said the ideas seek to capitalize on dissatisfaction on how the city is run. "I think the system allows for corruption in office," said Sabri, who speaks from experience. "You get people in there, and they get more power and abuse it."
Sabri has had several disagreements with City Hall over development proposals in the Lake Street area and has taken city officials to court over development issues. The proposal doesn't take aim at the four-year terms for Park Board or Board of Estimate and Taxation, with which Sabri has not clashed.
Sabri said that it's not just his proposal, but said his 21-year-old relative, whose precise relationship he wouldn't disclose, stepped forward because other committee members weren't ready to go public.
The commission will examine the proposal at its 4 p.m. Wednesday meeting in City Hall's council chambers. It can make suggestions regarding the format before backers attempt to begin collecting the more than 7,000 signatures needed to place the measure on the city ballot next year.

Unknown, beautiful bush of some sort!
What is this plant? It fell back over the winter but didn't die and as soon as it started warming up, it exploded! I water it a lot and it's on the North side of the house. It doesn't get much sun except for mornings and afternoons but it still very bright.
Also, want to do something with the flower bed. There are 4 rose bushes along the end but I want to maybe add some ground cover there.. Something hardy that will tolerate hot weather but not necessarily full sun.
Either way, would love to know more about this fantastic bush!
No way we can suggest something without knowing where you live/or zone you're in. The shrub could be Punica granatum "State Fair" or similar Cv.

Thanks for the responses.
I updated my zone, sorry. I'm in zone 9.
Also, we are renting right now and it was here when we moved in. It never died and we never moved it.
Any tips on what I could do to help it if it needs it? I wasn't sure what it was so I didn't know how to care for it.

Moscow picked to host 2014 3×3 basketball world championships
Apr 23, 2013, 1:01 PM EDT
We're all getting a little closer to the dream of seeing 3-on-3 basketball in the Olympics – possibly as soon as Rio in 2016 – so the sport's governing body, FIBA, announced Tuesday that they've picked Moscow to host the 2014 world championships.
"We support FIBA's efforts to make 3×3 an Olympic discipline," Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said regarding the announcement.
Moscow was apparently picked due to the country's rich basketball tradition according to FIBA Secretary General and IOC member Patrick Baumann, who forgot the sport was created in the States (admittedly by a Canadian with a losing career record) and that the NBA is kind of a big deal here. Maybe Rucker Park was unavailable.
The half-court event will be a five-day tournament next June, when FIBA will bring in 24 men's teams and 24 women's teams from around the world. Serbia won the men's championship last year in Athens, the U.S. took home the women's gold, and France earned the title in the mixed team event.
Here's a highlight of the men's 2012 gold medal game:

It has ever been the dream of any fan to see 3 on 3 at the Olympics. That's a fine event for the playground or as a sideshow during the NBA All-Star weekend, but as the main event? Yeah, not so much.
