Advice on Minis?
I am posting here instead of the mini rose forum because I thought y'all would be more knowledgable regarding cut flowers.
I currently have more than 4 dozen minis, but never seem to have enough pink blends for vases. I have decided I want to put in a small mini bed that will be specifically dedicated for extra cuttings.
My wants: good cut flower, good repeat bloom, and preferably, traditional "hybrid tea" form.
Good resistance to black spot and fragrance are "nice to haves". (we occaisonally get a extra wet spring that causes blackspot issues down here). Also, this bed will be in direct sun, so the roses must be able to perform well in heat, at least to mid '90s (no, I don't expect blooms in August!).
Due to the location of the future bed, I can fit probably 6 to 8 minis depending on the size. (If I could get some indication about bush size, that would also help. I have noticed that with our heat, minis generally get bigger than "catalog" size).
Here is the current list of possibles I am looking at:
Bees Knees
Bingo Queeen
Minnie Pearl
Overnight Scentsation
Tiffany Lynn
Ultimate Pleasure
Can you give me some opinions on which of these would work, in your opinion? thanx!
I can comment on a few on your list. Arcanum has beautiful blooms of white with coral edges, but it doesn't bloom all that much. Bees Knees is a great rose, but it is more yellow than pink. Chattooga appears to be pure deep pink. Giggles is pure coral pink and the bush will get enormous. I have seen it routinely reach 4 ft. in weather that isn't as warm as yours. Minnie Pearl has very pretty pink blend blooms, but the blooms are fairly small. Overnight Scentsation has very large blooms that don't hold much form. Tiffany Lynn is very pretty, but the plant will get a little large. X-Rated is very productive, with blooms that are mostly white with a pink blush.
Others you might consider include Soroptimist International, great blooms on a plant that is fairly large and wide, Jilly Jewel is on the lavender side of pink, but very productive and nice, and the new Leading Lady looks good.


text: LOVED IT!!! I want to plan another solo trip. Even the rain disn't dampen my fun. I also went to a few TS meals and I was a bit nervous at first but after awhile I realized that I wasn't standing out and had an awesome time. I am totally hooked on solo trips!

Experience with Vermont Plank flooring
I am in Houston and looking at instaling select solid oak flooring on screeds, in random width and length. I came across Vermont Plank online and have been impressed with them to this point. Does anyone have experience with them? Thanks.
Here is a link that might be useful: VT Plank website
What did you end up selecting? I was also recently looking at Vermont Plank Flooring for a 3/4" engineered white oak flooring, however, there is now a negative review for this company on the BBB, so I'm looking elsewhere. Graf Bros. looks like a surer bet for solid and engineered floors manufactured in the U.S. They are wholesale to the trade only and only sell engineered flooring as unfinished, but they do offer two excellent looking 3/4" thick engineered options.
Here is a link that might be useful: BBB Complaint Details on Vermont Plank Flooring
I am considering Vermont Plank for my flooring provider. The BBB website said there had been 0 complaints against them in the last three years. Can you resend me the link to the complaint you found? Also, did you end up going with them? And if so what was your experience like? Anyone else out there have experience with Vermont Plank? Thanks.
Just wanted to send a post in response to the above comment about the BBB.
We have had 0 complaints with BBB in last 3 years - since we joined.
We are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for Responsible Forestry as well.
Thanks for allowing us to clarify this.

1066 and all thattags: British history, history curriculum, Michael Gove, The Economist
FEW school subjects are so divisive. When Michael Gove, Britain's education secretary, released draft changes to the country's national curriculum in February it was his plan for history that created headlines. Mr Gove's proposal called for history to be studied "as a coherent, chronological narrative", beginning with the early Britons and ending with the cold war. Opponents said the syllabus overstressed the deeds of "posh white blokes" and underplayed those of minorities. "Unteachable, unlearnable and un-British" blasted a campaign group on April 10th. Rival camps of historians have published petitions and rowed on television. That shoot-out will last beyond the official consultation period, which closes next week.
Politicians with an axe to grind have often twisted history books, lionising characters they admire and tainting ones they do not. In March Dmitry Livanov, Russia's education minister, promised a new textbook to replace the 80 or so in use. That looks like an effort by Vladimir Putin's government to commandeer Russian history and partially sanitise Stalin (though Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago" is also taught in schools). But the rumpus in Britain reflects a deeper and more subtle argument dividing school staff rooms around the world—one with broader consequences. As well as tussling over the content of courses, parents, teachers and politicians are now discussing the techniques by which history is taught, and debating what the discipline is for....

Deirdre McCloskey: "It's Good to be a Don if You're Going to Be a Deirdre: Gender Crossing in Academia"
It's Rainbow Week in Trinity. This year there has been a particular focus from the LGBT Society on issues affecting trans* people and the debate in the Hist is on the motion, "THB the Interests of the Transgender Community are Best Served Under the LGBT Banner". Because of their very small numbers, the social and legal obstacles they face do not get much focus.
This brought to mind on of the those whose work I've read in the past year for my thesis. Deirdre McCloskey is Distinguished Professor of Economics, History, English, and Communication at University of Illinois at Chicago and Professor of Economic History,Gothenburg University, Sweden, and has started a six-volume work on the history of bourgeois thought.
In this talk to the Oxford Libertarian Society, she talks here of how she knew at 11 that she wanted to be a girl, but didn't transition until age 53. Talking of the social difficulties, she says it was was much easier in her particular profession than it would be in wider society, but also of how the world is becoming more open in these matter. As she says early on in this piece, "It's a matter of a free choice in a free society; there's nothing else involved".
Deirdre McCloskey – "It's Good to be a Don if You're Going to Be a Deirdre: Gender Crossing in Academia" from oxford libertarian on Vimeo.
She really is fascinating to read or listen to, whether discussing economics, history of intellectual thought, or gender in today's society.
On the subject, I also came across this manual of style this morning, a useful guide to understanding trans* people better.

Hear Little Big League's Blazing, Flannel-Flying 'Tropical Jinx'
Philadelphia's Little Big League — a foursome featuring former members of Strand of Oaks, Titus Andronicus, and rough-edged power-pop outfit Post Post — will release their second album this fall. Dubbed Tropical Jinx, the upcoming 10-track LP blends emotive indie-punk with post-rock haze, and is due out October 14 through Boston label Run For Cover Records. The band has shared the record's jangly title track, which is driven by singer Michelle Zauner's dynamic vocals. Enveloped with a canopy of resonant harmonies, "Tropical Jinx" pulls off dulcet flannel-rock comparable to that of Speedy Ortiz, in just under two minutes. Stream the track below.
7 Albums to Stream: Robert Plant, Death From Above 1979, Ryan Adams, and More
The Summer of Ass has come and gone, but there's still plenty to look forward to this year — specifically new albums from Robert Plant, Ryan Adams, Death From Above 1979, and Tricky. Stream all of those and more by following the links below.1) Robert Plant, Lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar. "Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar is an expression of many kinds of rich, autumnal love: of the English countryside to which Plant recently returned after several years living and working in Nashville and Texas; of the musical diaspora he's been exploring since Led Zeppelin first connected its American-inspired blues to North Africa in 'Kashmir'; of the Celtic and Romantic literary lines he's always favored; and of a woman, whom the songs' narrator treasures but, for reasons upon which at least half of the album dwells, leaves behind." (via NPR)2) Death From Above 1979, The Physical World.
Rusko and Pusher Weave Funky Electro on 'I Wanna Mingle'
Rusko, the British producer who taught the United States a lesson in Dubstep 101, has taken a turn in recent years. His most recent single, "I Wanna Mingle" features Pusher and favors experimental, funk-laden electro rather than his once-characteristic, wobble-heavy brostep. In July, Rusko released his ! EP, showcasing sonic exploration into genres such as soulful glitch, tropical trap, and acid jazz. Now the production O.G. furthers his voyage into melodic future-bass on the new track off of the ! Volume 2 EP slated for September 16 through Universal/FMLY Records. Combining bouncy arpeggios and glittering glissandos, "I Wanna Mingle" creates a lush sonic landscape that shows appreciation for melody. Listen below.
7 Albums to Stream: Interpol, Jeezy, Blonde Redhead, and More
Cure your end-of-the-summer blues by streaming new albums from Interpol, the recently arrested (again) Jeezy, Rubblebucket, and more.1) Interpol, El Pintor. "The gloomy New York City indie-rock OGs are streaming their fifth album, El Pintor, on NPR right now ahead its September 9 release. It's a fine return to form for the 'Anywhere' musicians, whose Joy Division-inspired post-punk has become more well-rounded and accessible with age, 12 full years after the release of their debut album, Turn On the Bright Lights. Interpol members Paul Banks, Sam Fogarino, and Daniel Kessler are all on hand for the 10-track disc, which includes moody single 'Ancient Ways.'" — SPIN (via NPR)2) Jeezy, Seen It All. "Atlanta drug-rap motivational speaker Jeezy has now made five proper studio albums, as well as a neverending string of mixtapes.
The Drums Wax Existential With a Goldfish in 'I Can't Pretend' Lyric Video
The Drums recently followed their skull-rattling "Magic Mountain" single with the glistening but bummed-out "I Can't Pretend." Now, they've shared a lyric video for the track, which consists of a goldfish swimming around in a tiny tank in a dark room as song lyrics splash across the screen. Here's what the Drums' Jonny Pierce had to say about "I Can't Pretend": "The moment we take our first breath, we become slaves to this life and to it's pointlessness — and there really is no out. If that seems heavy-handed, well that's because our shared reality is... a heavy one. I've never had much of a drive to build an empire or much less a retirement fund, simply because it's a lot of shuffling about for nothing... in the end it's all for nothing. Some days this hopelessness chains me to my bed.
Watch the Barr Brothers' Pulsating Hi-Def Video 'Half Crazy'
Exploring the outskirts of blues, the Barr Brothers utilize accentuated guitar bends and soulful vocal strains to deliver their newest track, "Half Crazy." The song's ultra hi-def, performance-focused video, meanwhile, gets intimate with the Montreal natives, documenting their rich use of classical strings and expressive drums. The black-and-white beauty follows the vibration of every harp string while lead singer Brad Barr delivers warm folk-inspired vocals. Check out the polished campfire gathering above, and look out for the Barr Brothers' upcoming Sleeping Operator LP, out October 7 through Secret City Records.
Pop Heroine Lowell Inspires Daydreams With 'Summertime'
Dream-pop sensation Lowell demanded recognition with her first EP, I Killed Sarah V., which featured such sing-along bombshells as February's "88." Now the Canadian songstress delivers an empowering pop ballad, "Summertime," with conviction. Offering layers of endearing vocal harmonies, powerful grand piano gestures, and anthemic percussion, Lowell actualizes high-spirited pop that Haim and Grimes could commend. This latest triumph will appear on her upcoming LP We Loved Her Dearly, out September 16 via Arts & Crafts, but you can listen to it now by clicking that play button below.
Nude Beach Bare Details of Upcoming Double Album '77'
Nude Beach will return just as summer comes to an end. The garage-pop enthusiasts have announced that their sophomore album, 77, will arrive on October 21. On the way via Don Giovanni Records, the follow-up to 2012's II will be a double LP that drummer Ryan Naideau describes thusly: "77 is a collection of stuff we've been working on for the past couple of years. We recorded the whole thing ourselves in a basement studio on Long Island and in bedrooms in Brooklyn and are psyched to share this record with everyone."The record's hard-hitting lead single, "I Can't Keep the Tears From Falling," highlights the trio's affection for pre-iPhone, pre-iAnything garage-rock sound.
Watch the Away Days' Dazzling, Smoky 'Paris' Video
Turkish dream-pop troupe the Away Days rep for their hometown of Istanbul in the video for "Paris," the shoegazing quartet's new self-released single. As seen above, the outfit occupies an Instagram-worthy scene — a sunset in the woods — and performs for an audience of zero. Lit up by smoky colored flares, the Away Days project a shimmering, head-swaying spell with lax energy, punchy drums, and lead singer Oguz Can Ozen's affected, distant vocals. Watch the enchanting video above.
Radiator Hospital Render Sprightly Punk on 'Cut Your Bangs'
The power-pop outfit Radiator Hospital have a knack for melodramatic melancholy. Want proof? Stream "Cut Your Bangs," a new track from the Philadelphia quartet that will not only grace their next album but also appears on a recently released charity compilation. The perfectly sad sonnet trades in ironically upbeat lo-fi guitars and plainspoken lyrics that coolly break your heart: "You say you'll cut your bangs, I'm calling your bluff / When you lie to me it's in the small stuff."Listen to "Cut Your Bangs" below, and find the anti-love ballad on The Big Comp II, which features 85 tracks by 85 different artists, including Into It. Over It., the Menzingers, and the Hotelier. All proceeds from the comp will be donated all to 1BlueString and The Nature Conservancy.

Your Paris food guru
Everyone should have a friend who knows the ins and outs of shopping for food in Paris, keeps a private list of secret neighborhood bistros and can let you in on mysterious French traditions such as why Parisians never buy croissants in the afternoon. Now you can too, thanks to my small team of Edible Paris food gurus. These English-speaking restaurant critics, food writers and professional cooks spend their spare time sniffing out the very best food shops and restaurants, in the knowledge that nothing can ever be taken for granted.
The food gurus
Each one of these experts has lived in Paris for 15 years or more. Because all our food gurus have many projects on the go at any given time, it's always advisable to book early.
Stephen Mudge
A restaurant critic, correspondent for Opera News, former opera singer and occasional sheep farmer who runs his own bed and breakfast in Devon during the summer, Stephen is one of the most entertaining people I know. Stephen has been leading tours for Edible Paris for the past several years and everyone has appreciated his theatrical approach and easy wit. If you're a fan of opera or simply a bit of a hedonist when it comes to food, you're sure to enjoy having Stephen as your guru. Try to book well ahead, as his many pursuits often take him out of town.
Claude Cabri
I first met Claude, otherwise known as "Miss Lunch," when I attended one of her clandestine lunches in her artist's loft near the place d'Aligre market. A multi-faceted artist, cook and food stylist whose paintings are all about food, she can claim roots in Belgium, English speaking Canada, South Africa, Egypt and the island of Pantelleria between Sicily and Tunisia. She can whip up baklava, squid-ink pasta or French baguette in the blink of an eye and knows all her market vendors by name. If you love art or want to learn more about the fascinating blend of cultures in eastern Paris, Claude is the guru for you.
Rosa Jackson
The founder of Edible Paris, I am probably the hardest of the gurus to pin down since I divide my time between Paris and the south of France. Having designed hundreds of written itineraries, edited six Paris restaurant guides, led countless food tours and written for many magazines and guidebooks, I am something of a human database when it comes to Paris restaurants and food shops. I've eaten in just about all the best restaurants as part of my job but, when it comes down to it, there is nothing I enjoy more than a good bistro meal in a cheerful setting. I should also confess that I have an incorrigible sweet tooth and consider it my duty to re-test the best pastry shops and chocolatiers at least once a month. If you can't see the point of doing anything other than eating while you're in Paris, I'm probably the right guru.
Edible Paris private food tours
During this three-hour guided food tour for up to six people, we'll take you behind the scenes at some of our favorite Paris food shops and guide you through the best local markets. Like the itineraries, the guided food tours are personalized according to your preferences. Depending on your tastes, a tour might include:
- A visit to a world-renowned boulangerie where you might meet the baker and learn about the French art of breadbaking;
- A glimpse at the life of a dedicated chocolatier who trained with the very best before opening his own boutique;
- A tour of a cheese cellar beneath one of the city's true fromageries (shops that age cheeses on the premises before selling them in peak condition);
- A sampling of Provençal olive oils.
During the tour you can also take advantage of our expertise as a longtime Paris food experts to ask for recommendations. If you would like to have lunch or dinner together, the price of the meal will be added on to the cost of the tour.
Private tour for 1-2 people: 300 euros
3 people: 350 euros
4 people: 400 euros
5 people: 450 euros
6 people: 500 euros
For a full price list of food guru services, please contact us.
"Dear Rosa,
I just had to write and let you know how much my friends and I enjoyed the Edible Paris tour. You were very generous with your suggestions and we made it to almost all of them over the 2 days. As you suggested, we found Bread and Roses, just down from our hotel, and ate breakfast there both mornings. The first morning, they were putting out lunch as we were leaving and it looked so delicious that we went back late that afternoon and picked up a smorgasbord of what was left and look it back to the Villa Madame. Franck brought us wine to the terrace, as well as plates, silverware, and napkins, and we had a leisurely dinner. It was total relaxation which was perfect since we were really tired from walking all day. Edible Paris was the highlight of our time in Paris. Thanks so much."
Chris Jones, USA

What's your favorite perennial/small shrub?
I'm looking for easy, inexpensive, and beautiful plants for an ornamental border outside our community garden. My personal favorite is catmint. What's yours?
You should look at the ieta little henry shrub -- it only gets about 2'and gets pretty white spiral flowers and leaves change color in the spring. I've been able to find them at home depot.
- Purple Smoke Bush - Cotinus coggygria
- Carpet rose bush
- Sambucus Black Beauty & Black Lace
- Peony although they only flower in the Spring they are low maintenance and the leaves are a pretty small bush.
- Clematis Rooguchi - This grows as bush and blooms all summer.
I like colorful bushes that give color vs flowers because they are fleeting.
Helleborus, all of them. Thousands of cultivars, all of them my favorites even though I only have 6. Along with being deer proof, you have an ideal plant for the Mid-Atlantic.
Hamamelis vernalis. The fragrant ones will blow your mind. Sweet smelling small yellow flowers in February. A fragrance you can smell a hundred feet away.
Callicarpa americana. Not as showy as its Asian cousin (C. dichotoma), but so dainty it more than makes up for it. Also, the purple on the berries lasts long after the ones on dichotoma have faded.
I have also developed a fondness for Viburnum triloba. A fairly coarse shrub, the panicles of white flowers appear very different when viewed by moonlight. (Those who have it should make a trip outdoors to see it by the light of the moon). The edible red berries hang on just about all winter because they have to ferment or something for the birds to eat them. The red leaves in the fall are not bad either. Humans can eat the berries, (mom made "cranberry" sauce at T-giving with them) you need lots of sugar, and don't smell your hands after you pick them.
Sedum are great plants for low care, full sun gardens.
No need to fertilize, the tall ones cut down at the end of the year, does not require too much water once established
So many to pick from - Sedum Angelina is a good pick.
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Perennial
Fothergilla gardenii for it's 3 season interest of lovely bottlebrush flowers in spring, good looking foliage all summer, and blazing fall colors
Hydrangea quercifolia ditto but add winter peeling bark - best 4 season plant

Will you share a picture of your home?
I'm thoroughly enjoying the previous thread of "how long have you lived in your home" and loved seeing my3dogs house. Here is a picture of the tract home we are about to move into (minus the tree decor above the garage). Single level, 3bed/2bath, 1700 s.f. Care to share yours?
It's hard to get a good shot of mine, so I'll offer a few. The first two are the approach up the drive, and a closer view of the front by the carport. The second is from the side yard. Sorry they're holiday pics, that's all I've got at hand. 2,000 sq. ft MCM, 4/1.5, built in 1978 from 1960s Better Homes & Gardens plans. Birmingham, Alabama area.

Love your houses.....Natesgram...is yours in California....looks similar to the ones I grew up with. Jak---love this style so much...love contemporary.
How about if we also say where...no...not address (lol)...but at least state?
I will take a pick of mine when I get home and post...
Natesgram best wishes in our new home! Love those deep overhangs. Jakabedy I've always loved your home and your kitchen is one of my faves. Boop I bet with the trees filled in you have a gorgeous backdrop!
Here's mine, a 1936 center entrance colonial, northern Chicago burb. It's been through a few incarnations - we've been here since 1990, started with a 3/1.5, added onto the back and made a 4/2.5 with a great room-family room-kitchen thing.
Northern California MCM
I'll try to take some pictures of the front of ours to post later. It'll be hard because our front yard has so many trees and bushes that you almost don't see the house except for the garage.
The front walkway winds through the plantings to get to the courtyard gate. Then one goes past the koi pond to get to the front door:
Even the back is kind of hard to see. The living room windows are behind the lemon and lime trees in this picture. My husband has pruned the trees back a bit but I don't have a newer picture right now:
It's a sprawling one story that hides its size because one never sees all of it at the same time. There is another house a few doors down that is more deceptive in its street view. It looks like it is one story with a high roof from the street. There is a door in the kitchen that opens to reveal a stairway to an upstairs hall with closets on the street side of the hall and rooms on the other side of the hall. From the front and even from the inside if you don't open the stair door and don't go into the back yard you wouldn't know that there was a 2nd floor.
schoolhouse, I'm soooo jealous. It has always been my dream to live in a converted house.
Here is my zero lot line home. Hoping to redo the exterior to make it a modern style.
Forget to say I'm in Texas.

1890 Victorian Bungalow in East AL. We renovated the attic to add sq ft in 2002. House was 2700 sq ft downstairs with 2 master suites and 2 1/2 baths. We added 1300 sq ft in the attic conversion ....2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. It still feels cozy to us and we use all of it. Have lots of folks that come to visit. Family and friends both. Love the Spring here ...
Love the pool...behind the wall you see on the right side of house. Most folks have no idea we have a pool..our secret garden :)
And DH has his little play house out back ...he keeps it as his music studio...we moved it over in the garden and raised it and added the porch when we did the kitchen 7 yrs ago. He loves to sit out there and think. c
LOVE seeing all the homes...these are one of my favorite threads. c
Pretty houses.
It would be interesting to know if the pics change your mental image of the poster. I don't post often enough to have a mental image, but I really like the homes posted so far.
Retirement home version 1.0. (DH is retired and I'm still working, at home, upstairs part time). Before we bought and after.
I've been meaning to post a picture and thank the board members for helping me choose the replacement sconces at the front door. The new ones are a lot larger overall, but they're mostly seeded glass. I like them a lot. I take all the credit/blame for the color scheme myself.
Northern Indiana - future home of the farthest-out Chicago suburb. :)

MrsMM - love seeing the exterior, what amazing progress you've made. And as to raising the roof (we're going through this right now), as my architect said, easy-peasy :) (And as everyone else has pointed out, easy for him to say....).
We're north of Boston, in MA. Love seeing the pictures! I started looking for pictures of our house... such a pleasant trip down memory lane. Here's our house in the snow, back in 2005.
Then, typical Spring picture in 2006 (obviously before the deer got to the tulips)....
We started remodeling in 2010... here is new front of the house:
And just this month, we've continued with the back of the house (family room, raising ceiling, new picture window). Drywallers come tomorrow, yay:). Please ignore dreadful looking lawn; dead crabgrass (double yay, but look for that in the lawn forum...).
oldbat2be-we'll be doing this ourselves. Right now, we only have one giant bedroom upstairs and one giant landing, then a tiny 4 ft door out of the bedroom that leads to an attic room with a 7 ft ceiling in the center 4 ft that tapers down to 3 ft on either side. The upstairs bedroom and landing have a little more height, but not much wall space and very little room for windows. Ideally, we would about double our sq. ft. with the addition, but trying to save up enough to do it, while fixing everything that needs to be fixed to hold the added weight is proving difficult. Dh thinks he could get the shell done in a very short time, but I've heard that before lol!
Love this thread! So inspirational in so many ways! Just gorgeous and seeing our GW Members homes really gives me a fix of "I wonder what he/she looks like, is like etc....."
The exteriors of your homes are of great interest to me as we began a major porch rebuild this week.
5yrs ago we had just begun minor cosmetic work on our home:
And then our home was hit by a car and stayed in this condition for 5yrs while people fought over it and then the recession hit.
Can't wait to post 'After' pictures in 6wks or so!
I want to move to Seattle and move into lovestowalk's house. So charming!!
I don't have a pic of our "real" house but here's a pic of our summer place (which we try to visit year round) in RI. Funny how it would never occur to me to take a picture of our full time house, but we're always taking pics of our part time house! Maybe because we basically re-built it 3 years ago. It was a very small Cape style house with a second floor that had been cheaply added on years ago, and the upstairs bedrooms were incredibly claustrophobic and ugly. We bought the house for its location on a double corner lot overlooking the water. From the second floor now, we can see the ocean from all four bedrooms.
Our regular house is a very typical medium-sized Boston area center entrance colonial. Brick on the bottom, shingles on top. It's far more boring than the house I'd fantasized about spending most of my life in! But we love our neighborhood.
I love this thread! Seeing all the different styles of houses is just so interesting. Some of these make me want to rethink the decision to downsize. I'll post one to represent the modest. We moved into our 1920 colonial in March from a 1990 typical suburban home. There is an addition on the back, so it is about 2100 square feet, 3 beds 2 1/2 baths and is the perfect size for just the two of us (despite what I said earlier). This is before we moved in. It is still desperately in need of landscaping and grass.
As usual I am floored by the breadth of style and individuality of our homes. There is, literally, everything here, from East to West, North to South, all types of architecture and building materials and all wonderful! We are in rural Georgia.
This was taken last December, after the new roof:
Long drive over a bridge to get to house:

So many pretty homes!
oldbat2be - I love your house now, but really loved the before! It reminds me of my grandparents step-down house in Connecticut. They had a drive like KSWL and large boulders were spread out on the property, along with the classic stone walls along the perimeter. Such good memories of visiting them. :)
I am waiting for my driveway to be sealed before taking a photo of my house. We have the before and after. My potted plants and so forth are spread to kingdom come. The driveway man cleaned it and then it's been a week and he has yet to come seal.
I am trying to embed a picture for the first time...I think it worked....yipee!
My humble abode....a 1984 tract colonial in the Maryland suburbs of DC. Have been here 29 years...and have struggled that long to like this house but am beginning to appreciate the galley kitchen, separate spaces and the fact that it is not huge--all banes of my existence for years. It's where we raised the kids, so sentimental for us in that regard and hopefully for the kids too. All woods in the back. We will definitely retire and move away within 5 years or so.
Ours is a 1955 ranch with a walkout basement. Very typical in Atlanta. The previous owners enclosed the carport, and while I love the extra space, I really don't like the competing doors. The main level has 2500 square feet with 3BR and 2 BA. (We added a master suite a couple of years ago.) The lower level/basement/terrace level is 1900 square feet (900 of that is finished and 1000 is unfinished storage/workshop space.) and has a 4th BR and BA.
This morning I was able to take some shots of the exterior.
Entering the front walk -
Two boulders guard the entry path:
In the courtyard - you can see through the house to the backyard:
The picture of the back isn't very good. At this time of year the shade makes the house cooler but difficult to photograph. When the umbrellas come down for fall and some of the trees lose their leaves, I could get a better picture:
Cloud-swift....love your house...so calm and soothing.
Porkandham....I know you didnt ask but since you mentioned it bugs you....if you paint that car port door and trim the same color as the brick it would be less noticeable. You could also paint your front door red, yellow, etc...and that would draw the eye over there and away from the car port entrance.
Am loving seeing everyone's homes---so much style and character!
Gosh don't even know where to start. All of your homes are so cool. They're all so different and all with their own unique charms ( probably foibles as well!).
Beagles and kswl (and maybe Annie - not sure) I really like your more rural settings. Just so peaceful looking.
Beekeeperswife - so nice to see the outside of your house. i know what your kitchen looks like!
Lovestowalk - I've been to Seattle a few times (I'm in Vancouver, B.C.) and as soon as I saw your house I thought - that looks like Seattle. Such a pretty house with the rock wall.
fivefootzero and sueb20 and everyone else with porches and verandas - I envy you.
schoolhouse- very cool to live in a house with some history to it.
jakabedy - I love MCM construction. The clean lines of the construction and large windows just speak to me. I live in a 1972 post-and-beam which I like to think is a cousin of the MCM construction. Same idea of construction - very strong linear look with lots of windows.
Thefoxespad - Hit by a car?! That's just bad luck. Looking forward to seeing finished pics.
I love looking at all the colonial homes as we don't have that design where I live. All of your homes are so pretty, regardless of the setting or style of construction.
Interesting that with all the different homes that we live in we all wind up here needing decorating help of some sort and at some time.
Utterly gorgeous homes, so many locations, so many styles of living, so much work you all have put into them!
I want to steal so many ideas you all have had and put into execution here. I have lived here about 8 weeks now, spouse has been here since March. We are planning and plotting. We have had a fence put around our back yard and are putting a door into the breezeway which will open up a tiny patio area between the house and the garage. That will be it for this year. The door has been ordered and we are lining up the contractors even as I type this. I will work on decorating inside this winter, and landscaping in the spring.
This house is small, around 1000 feet and typical of the small houses around here built just after WWII. There must be at least 500 variations on this theme here in this small town. But this one is ours! I love living less than 2 blocks from Lake Huron. This picture was given to us by the previous owners, it is a listing photo from May of 2012.
We are in Greenlake. We just moved here from Oklahoma in December 2012. We totally renovated the house which was built in 1927. We moved to Seattle to be closer to kids and grandkids and absolutely love this neighborhood. We are very close to Zoka, Mighty-O Donuts, etc.
Also, thanks so much to Sueb20 and blfenton for the nice comments.

Beautiful homes all! How about one from NE Kansas? See, Kansas is not flat! We built our home 19 years ago, still love it! The meadow in front is native, it has never been plowed. The wildflowers change weekly, an impressive show by Mother Nature!
Spring -

Thanks for enjoying Kansas with me!
Loves to walk....you are in the right spot if you love to walk! Greenlake area is very beautiful & fun. We are on Queen Anne, but lived east of Greenlake for about 30 plus years before moving over to Queen Anne. Can you believe the summer we've been having? I will try to post our house....
Such pretty homes. I love putting houses with names.
We're in central Alabama and live on acreage. It's a gated community and everyone has 3 acres or more. We have almost 5. We've built/moved in 8 years ago next month. Doesn't seem that long! I love so much about our house, but one thing is that you can't see it all when standing anywhere. People are always surprised when they come inside, or see the back. The lower level is open on three side and has the best views of the water.
Doggie corral in the front. Guest driveway and parking.
Stone carriage house garage.
Front veranda
Many that see this picture think all the arches are more garage doors. But that's the lower veranda. Upper back veranda above the arches. Part of it is screened. The large, dark squares on the right bottom and top are large windows. Taken right after we moved in and the silt fence was still up.
Our house is in the woods, on the left. This was taken from other side of dam at my parent's lakehouse.
DD2 took this one from the dam the first of April. Our house looks down the lake and has water on three sides. I love it here!
I hope this shows up...been a while since I posted a photo here. Plus I had to go steal this one from my website.
I live near Fort Worth, Texas...our land used to be cattle pasture...dh and I have planted every stick and blade you see in this photo. Taken on ds's wedding day four years ago...they got married in our backyard...very fun and pretty.
Edited to add. 2400 sq. ft. including a bonus room over the garage...weird space that needs to be overhauled.

All wonderful homes and so many areas of the country are represented.
We are in the greater San Diego area in Southern California. We built in 2006-2007, been in 6 years this summer. These first two pictures were professionally taken for a fund raising tour the house was on 3 years ago. I had forgotten that I changed the cushions and umbrellas after the promo photos were taken and before the event..... The house is more the color in the picture of the back.....but they sure got that sunny California thing goin' on in the photo of the front.
So many beautiful houses. I'm a bit envious of the dramatic presence that a two story can have compared to our low one story.
I've never lived in a two story house (not counting apartments because the building was multistory but the apartment was one level). Ranches were the dominant house type in the LA suburbs when I grew up.
Allison, that stone patio looks like a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the view.
Here's mine from a couple of years ago. We didn't get to much gardening this year...weeds galore! But I loved how it looked this year.
We've been here for 23 years. DH cut down every tree, we built the house and slowly finished rooms as best we could. We've done a few upgrades here and there, but not as many as we'd like. DH would like to downsize, and maybe once the kids are out of college and settled we will. But then Grandchildren would love the yard and the pool. It's an awful lot to take care of though, we have two acres.
Beth P.
This has been so enjoyable! I love seeing everyone's homes. :)
Ours is 10 yrs old, on a very quiet cul-de-sac of 10 homes on 1/2 to 1 acre lots. We have a beautiful view of city lights at night. We aren't planning to stay here, I'll miss it, and my neighbors.
I did all the plantings, it was new and bare when we moved in.
I've so enjoyed seeing everyone's homes. As a Realtor, I get to see the inside and outside of lots of homes...it just never gets old!
MizM I love the electric candles in your windows. Waving at you--I'm headed to west Fort Worth for an inspection for a client there. Is it just me or is it a more gentle paced life on the west side? Seems so to me.
Again, I love seeing the variety of styles in our homes. Fun. May everyone within them be blessed.
Hi, HappyinTexas! I agree with you .... I grew up in Arlington, but also lived in both Dallas and Ft Worth ... and do like the pace better here. I also love the history and culture of Ft Worth.
Thank you, re: the candle lights! I put them up one Christmas, and loved the look so much, decided to leave them there. We have an outlet near them, and they look so cozy at night.
Hope your inspection goes well!
What a great thread this is! Such pretty homes and yards. Allison, I'd like to swap homes with you. Love, love, love your front veranda!
We live in the mountains of New Mexico, in the Santa Fe-Albuquerque area of the state. Ours is a small development outside a wonderful, very quaint, very old village. Each of our homes is on about 3 acres. Because of all the pinon pine and juniper trees, it's pretty much impossible to get a view of our entire house. It's a one story, all adobe home . . . and it's shaped kind of like a boomerang. Not on purpose, but our architect/builder did this to maximize the views . . . which I have to say are awesome every day of the year.
I just took this first pic a couple of minutes ago from the front edge of our property, but it really only shows the right side of our home. That's where the main living part of the house is. The left (unseen) side consists of 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laundry room and garage
This is the view you see as you come down the walk from the guest parking area up to our front portal (porch/veranda).
I'm sure that everyone has see enough pics of our portal, which serves as our outdoor living and dining rooms from May thru mid-October. So here are two of the reasons we bought this land and built here. The views are wonderful from our front portal (and front of the house) :
. . . and from the back portal and back windows of our home:
This is a fun thread! I'm in a "village" in a section of our town that was a very prosperous mill town in the late 19th century. All around me are Victorian houses of every shape and size. Mine is a c. 1875 vernacular Gothic Revival workingman's cottage. It's a work in progress but at least I've removed the asbestos shingles and restored the original clapboards (and painted them Weston Flax).
This is why I love GW! I have a smile which reaches from ear to ear as I read through these.
sueb - simply dreadfully envious of your spectacular summer house!
egbar- your home is charming!
gooster - loved seeing your exterior, just a tad cranky that you're on the other side of the country....
beagles - your wonderful home/setting always reminds me of home (NC). How goes the remodeling in FL? I keep looking for updates :)
sandy1963, your driveway would make anyone smile!
allison0704 - I have always loved pictures of your kitchen. When I saw your exterior pix, first thought was: ok you win!
Then I saw lynneinnewmexicos (new winner, ding ding ding).
Being silly, it's so not a case of winning or losing, just lovely and satisfying to see a well loved home in a good location. Thanks all!
I think we are all listing junkies, no? I love the variety of houses here. From MCM to craftsman to horse properties and mediterranean. I also like seeing the homes of people I "know", from a different angle or a different view. Remember when they made fun of, was it McCain, for not knowing how many homes he had? If I had the beer fortune he has, I would buy homes every week. Any location, any style, any price point, I can find a home I love!
Most of you have seen my current home in CT before, but this is my favorite shot of it. It is take in our backyard from across our pond. In our backyard, you see nothing but green for 360 degrees, and have the illusion, as our landscaper once said, of owning 1,000 aces (instead of 9!).
I think I have also posted our lakehouse in NY state
And I think I may have posted our old house, too, in Northern NJ. This was our first house; we were married on the verandah and brought home all three babies from the hospital to this house. We had just put in 63 architecturally correct windows in this 1902 home when we fell in love with our CT house on a whim back in 2009! I didn't think we would ever want to sell it --- just goes to show you, be careful when you peruse listings if you are prone to house love.
Meanwhile, we have been bidding back and forth for about 5 days now on a beach house, and I am dying to post it but too superstitious! On pins and needles...
Wow mtnrd...with homes like that, it's easy to fall in love!
We did a "peer through the window" at the little wreck of a home on the knoll and decided it was too much of a wreck to get to fix up, esp at that price, and esp since the knoll is all rock ledge so very little opportunity to even add a desperately needed garage. But it will make a sweet space for someone....
No, the windows would not have been Palladian, the stilted arches filled with brick above the lower windows is a typical Adam style detail.
Often, though, it was done on the second floor, because the houses were set up with a piano nobile, or bel etage--the main formal rooms up a level from the street. This is the Russell House in Charleston
Pal is correct, of course!
Newhome, We had a history done on our NJ house. It was built by the same firm that did Saks in NYC, among other notables. We were so excited when the historian found some blueprints in the UT Austin library. We got them, rolled them out , and, in nearly 100 years, nothing had changed! No additions, no walls taken down or put up. The only change was a hall bath that became a captive bath! For an older home, it had wonderful flow even 100 years later; a testament to the architect, IMHO.
Annie, aww, too bad, I would love to see you apply your skills once again.
Pal is correct, of course!

We were so excited when the historian found some blueprints in the UT Austin library. We got them, rolled them out , and, in nearly 100 years, nothing had changed! No additions, no walls taken down or put up. The only change was a hall bath that became a captive bath! For an older home, it had wonderful flow even 100 years later; a testament to the architect, IMHO.
Annie, aww, too bad, I would love to see you apply your skills once again.
Here is ours, in a rare snow last winter! It hasn't snowed much here lately, and dd is trying to cobble together a snowman! We are pitiful here in the south. :) Our house is a new (well, 2 years old now) custom build in a neighborhood of 1/2 to 1 AC lots.
Here is our 1908 cottage in Old Town Longmont, Colorado. We downsized after the last kid moved out and love this house and the neighborhood. It has a two-story addition on the back which is really hard to see in this picture, so not as small as it appears from the front. Just the right size for us, with room to party with the whole family!
Thank you for the history lesson.
nini804 - Your house reminds me of this house that I have been bugging DH to buy. He says that he can't do steps much longer and there is no downstairs bedroom.
Here is a link that might be useful: White House
This is a low resolution aerial photo of the back of the house taken for the RE brochure that was printed when we bought the house. The front of the house is somewhat hidden from the street by a privet hedge. The style is sort of typical Contemporary Californian no-style with hints of Mediterranean and Modernist.
This is almost like 'meeting' all of you..so much fun to see where you live and the beautiful homes! We were building 17 years ago. Seems like just a few years ago. We have done most of the landscaping but I did hire some re-do last fall. Don't really have a great pic of the overall front because its hard to capture due to trees and I am not at home.
Can't upload but one at a time from my iPad.
I forgot to say, we're in the country outside of Huntsville, AL on 9 acres. About half wooded, but we had to cut a lot of old growth pines to build the house so we basically started with a lot of red dirt.
This is the back with a small fish pond.
Pamghatten, the colors in your pictures are stunning!
Mtnrdredux, that is a skylight and I hate it. It's over the middle of the kitchen and adds about 100 degrees of heat to the room. I've been exploring options to add a motorized solar shade that would filter out some of the sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. I can't put in a reflective shade because the build-up of heat could blow out the glass. I love your new beach house, BTW...gorgeous!!!
mtnrdredux, yes we believe the bay window was added in the late 1800's when the school was converted to a private residence. We are in the process right now of restoring the windows in the bay as they are original to the house. I do not have any recent pictures of the inside of the house on this computer. Will look and see if I have any on Photobucket.

Picked our appliances today
We picked all of our appliances today and the price we got locally is only $35.00 more than the best price I could get online! (Electrolux 30" Wavetouch oven, Bosch 800 series induction cooktop and dishwasher, Thermador built-in fridge, Sharp microwave drawer). Tomorrow I'll pick a slimline undercabinet hood and be done but for some mundane purchases like a garbage disposal. Measured for and tweaked cabinet layout today too. On our way!
Congratulations, that's a landmark event. We are getting the same oven and cooktop, so those must be brilliant options. How did you decide on Thermador for the fridge? I'm still struggling with fridge and hood. (I don't think DW will be too hard, and I don't care much about MW.) Would love to follow someone else's thought process.
Here's how I made each choice:
Oven - I coveted slide out racks, and the Electrolux' are brilliant - very smooth operation. There may be others in the next level up - Miele etc., but we weren't interested in spending that much.
Cooktop - we looked at all of them, again, a price level down from the top. My husband thought the trim on the a electrolux would be a crumb-catcher, and he preferred the ability to directly set power levels (Bosch over GE Profile).
Microwave - because of our layout, the microwave has to be in the island (rejected a micro-hood---- we have that now and don't like its looks or the functionality as a hood). We didn't think a door microwave made sense under-counter).
Fridge - we're doing this kitchen for ourselves but also for resale. In this market, high-end appliances are almost a given. We would have done the Sub-Zero but the Thermador is several thousand dollars less expensive. Frankly, I think the interior or the Thermador is more solid than the Sub-Zero too. Now I just hope I don't have problems with it!
Bosch dishwasher. We considered the Mieles. We liked the layout/capacity of the Mieles a little more than the Bosch but ours is an open kitchen, so quiet was even more important.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, that does help. I'm still stymied on the fridge because it's a tight spot, but I'm not concerned with resale, at least (hoping it is an issue for my heirs and they can't really complain!)
Sounds like you are not too concerned about finding just the right vent hood? Are you staying under 400 cfm and do you have to do makeup air where you are? I'm leaning toward a chimney-style, but could still switch back to under counter.
I'm going to be so relieved when I'm' at your point in the process. I hope so, anyway, will probably just move on to the next thing...
We're in a condo that was formerly an industrial building. Hood has to be recirculating (no venting to the outside). In addition there's a loft above the kitchen, so that wall of the kitchen is only 84" high (the ceiling is about 10-1/2'). We're kind of stuck with an under-cabinet hood. Hoping to find some reasonably effective and low profile.
sjhockeyfan, if your budget runs to it (and you're willing to forgo the cabinet over the range), check out the ARS series from Ventahood. I'd love one of these, but can't afford it. They are by the far the best recirculating hood, the only one that really does much:
Here is a link that might be useful: ventahood ARS
I will check them out (first question, though, what do they run? We want good, but not looking for the gold standard either!)
Next question - service plan. When we did our last kitchen (the house we sold last year), we bought our appliances at Lowe's -KitchenAid refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and wine fridge (I think it was KA), and some trash compactor - don't remember what brand. We also got a Viking cooktop elsewhere (another story - I hated that cooktop). We bought, very in expensively, a 4-year service plan that covered the fridge, oven, dishwasher and wine fridge. The compressor on the fridge went out in 8 months, so that was within the regular warranty period. The dishwasher had no less than 1,000 service calls (I exaggerate, but only slightly). The oven didn't have any service calls (wasn't a great oven, but at least it worked) and I think we had one call on the wine fridge (thermostat issue).
So here we are again, and the appliances are much ore expensive, and even more "sophisticated" (as far as electronics go). Consequently, the extended service plan is also much more expensive. It would run close to $900 for a 10-year service plan on all 5 major appliances, the fridge (dual compressor) of course being the most expensive. Just wondering what you think. It is for 10 years, so that's really only $90 per year, so maybe it's worth it?

Shakira is hosting a world baby shower for the impending birth of her second child with soccer star Gerard Piqué.
On Monday, the couple shared a maternity shot together and with their son Milan to announce the World Baby Shower, which benefits UNICEF.
"Now that we are about to be parents for the second time, we want to take it one step further: by making baby showers with a philanthropic bent accessible to everyone," she wrote on Monday. "Thanks to social media, celebrities are not the only ones who are able to make a real change. Now you can contribute so that baby showers that give to other children become a new global trend."

by Jonathan Blaustein
I've got a cousin named Jonathan Blaustein. I use the word "cousin" in the loosest sense of the term. I've never been able to understand the rules, with respect to cousin-hood.
What's the difference between a cousin-once-or-twice-removed, and a second or third cousin? Really, I have no idea. To me, they each mean people that are related to you tangentially, rather than meaningfully.
I'm really close with my first cousins on my mother's side. I've smoked more reefer, drank more booze, and done more stupid shit with them than with almost anyone else. (Ages ago, of course. Now, I'm a respectable Dad.) As for the younger ones, I view them as if I were an affable uncle: offering advice and support, and discouraging bad behavior.
On my Dad's side, though, it's a different story. My first cousin Jeff is a good guy, but we don't have much in common. His sister, Michelle, is a complete stranger to me. We shared food during Passover Seders, growing up, but that's about it. Haven't spoken to her in a decade.
C'est la vie.
Jonathan Blaustein, though, is now a High School student in Mahwah, New Jersey. His Dad was my father's first cousin's son, so what does that make him to me? Again, I haven't a clue. Jonathan's Dad died of a drug overdose a few years back, and I was genuinely sad to hear it. He was a good guy, taken down by his demons.
Names are funny things. We take them so personally, our names, but they're just meant to designate one human from another. If we were all named Numbers 1-7 Billion, it wouldn't make a spit of difference. The purpose would be the same.
(Hey, number 6,323,654, your farts smell like rotting tofu. Might be time to take one of those juice cleanses, and start drinking a little Kefir, OK?)
Where is this all coming from, this rant of mine? You came here to read about football, and a bad comedy routine broke out? Shame on me. Is there a point? As my regular readers at A Photo Editor can assure you: always. (It just might not be a good one.)
This is now my seventh column writing for 7amkickoff, my favorite Arsenal blog. (Sorry Arseblog. You're a solid second.) I feel like things are starting to come together, as evidenced by the strange co-incidences brewing in this month's submissions. Not to mention, the volume and quality this round was particularly high. (And I'm not, at the moment. Clean blood, I assure you.)
Our winner, the Matchday Photo of the Month, was submitted by Andrew Luck. What? The super-star quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts is an avid reader? And Arsenal fan? Holy Shit! How cool is that?
What? Did I look carefully at the submission? (Pause.) Oh. Wait. He lives in London, this Andrew Luck. So I guess he's just a regular dude. Not "The Andrew Luck."
No matter. The photo he sent in is badass. Not only that, it's an homage to a classic, old school image made at Highbury. And Andrew was nice enough to point out that Highbury is the stadium where Arsenal used to play. You know, because I'm an admitted new fan. (He wanted to make sure I wasn't a complete moron, but still, I applaud the consideration.)
He took this photo to counter claims that Emirates Stadium lacked charm. So not only is it a cool photo, that references a classic bit of Arsenal history, but it's also an FU to the haters out there. Andrew Luck, I wish you the best in the 2015-16 NFL season. I hope you have better "luck" against the Patriots next time around.
The runners up are really solid as well. This little triptych was sent in by Wojciech, who visited the stadium during the Stoke match. You know, the one where we beat the pants off those goons from up North. I'm really hoping that since I'm mocking the meatheads, some Stoke fan will write in the comments with typical use of horrifying-English-grammar-studded-with-spelling errors. Come on trolls, what have you got?
Oh yeah, and Wojciech? Is our now-second-string-keeper secretly reading the blog, and trying to get his pictures published on the Internet? I guess we'll never know…
Next, we have a solid offering from Steve, who took this one outside the stadium on Aston Villa matchday. Really gives you the flavor of the neighborhood, I'd say. Steve, are you lucky? That Villa game was the best we've played. Not to mention the total score of 8-0, home and away. We might have to consider you our new good-luck-charm. (Sorry Andrew, couldn't resist.)
Finally, yes finally, we have a new photograph from Karl Jende. Do you guys remember Karl? He's the Gooner from Minnesota, who wrote back to agree he's got the Absolute Perfect Name for a Minnesotan. You go, Karl. I hope you get yourself a nice, Scandanavian-American hottie one of these days.
In the meantime, Karl spent the horrid NLD matchday snowcat skiing just up the road from me in Keystone, CO. He sent us another shot, this time of his mates enjoying a group photo. If anything could wash the sour taste out of a Gooner's mouth, after a crap match like that, it's some champagne powder on a crisp winter day.
Keep 'em coming, Karl. And if any of you want a pic featured next month, don't be afraid to email me. I swear, I won't bite. As for the other Jonathan Blausteins out there, I make no such promises.
Submit your photos to firstname.lastname@example.com and let Jonathan Blaustein take a bite out of crime.

If you are looking for the weirdest injury in college football this season, you have to at least consider the one that transpired at Grand Valley State, a D-II school in the state of Michigan.The Lakers are expected to be without starting defensive lineman Isiah Dunning for four to six weeks after he was accidentally hit by a pickup truck driven by a teammate.The accident occurred after an early morning workout as team members headed to eat breakfast at a campus cafeteria."Isiah was walking along the grass, stepped out from the curb and Zach Jolly, one of our guys, struck him with a pickup truck," head coach Matt Mitchell said. "EMS was called and, it was kind of bad at the time, but after the X-rays and CAT scans, it was nothing life-threatening. But he will be out four to six weeks and that's very tough."Grand Valley Police Department Captain Brandon DeHaan said Jolly's pickup truck moved over as a vehicle approached the other direction on a service road. At that moment, Dunning stepped further into the road, he said.Jolly's vehicle was reportedly only traveling at a speed of about 5 mph before plowing Dunning over. The junior suffered a dislocated shoulder along with with neck pain and back spasms."It was just one of those things that happens out of nowhere; I was just hit and was falling toward the ground," Dunning said. "My face was falling toward the curb and I put my right arm out to break my fall and that's when my shoulder dislocated."Dunning said he holds no negative feelings toward his teammate and hopes to get back to the field as soon as possible.Dunning appeared in 11 games last season and recorded 14 tackles.Via mlive.com

Fair Board Kicks Off
Major Fund Drive
for Indoor Arena
The Burke County Fair has big plans!
Long cold winters make many outdoor activities like horseback riding difficult or at least not so much fun. The Burke County Fair Association hopes to make those activities a bit more bearable for area residents by adding an indoor riding arena.
The arena would provide great space for fair events during inclement weather in a venue that could have many uses throughout the year.
Some potential uses might be 4-H activities like archery and livestock judging; and bull sales, auction sales, indoor rodeo events, car shows, community events like school reunions and many others.
Although no contracts have been signed and plans are subject to change, the current plans are for a 120� x 200� canvas hoop building.
These buildings are common in the oil patch, on farms and ranches throughout the state.
The natural lighting and ventilation is a big plus for riding arenas, livestock show barns, many other uses.

Slices of Life
By: Jill Pertler
�Does technology free us or trap us?�
This question came across my inbox the other day and caused me to pause. At first I thought it was a fairly straightforward and simple query � albeit one without a real answer.
It�s like asking: Does clothing free us or trap us? Do seat belts free us or trap us? Bike helmets? Deadbolt locks? Dietary restrictions? Zippers? Mortgage payments? Children? Spouses?
The answer has to do with perception and approach. Most things in life aren�t black and white. Shades of gray existed long before the best-selling book. And the technology debate contains layers and layers of gray. It�s like opening a can of worms � with an electric can opener or with a rock depending on which side of the technology conundrum you live.
When I originally read the question in question, I envisioned smartphones and computers � newly invented modern techy gizmos. Turns out the T-word is much more all-encompassing.
Technology doesn�t always involve megahertz and motherboards; it is anything (anything!) created to produce useful items, to solve problems, make life easier or � in the case of Candy Crush Saga � make it more interesting. According to Wiki (a technological manifesto in and of itself) technology includes simple tools like a crowbar and fork as well as more complex inventions such as a space station, satellite and the emoji app.
The convenience of having hundreds of icons to express oneself within a text message may be handy, but not everyone is pro-emoji. There are actual movements � organized groups � that organize for the purpose of scrutinizing technology. These opponents say big-T harms the environment, causes nuclear waste, global warming, ozone depletion, extinction of species and modern weapons. Furthermore, they say technology alienates people and will eventually lead to social collapse.
I�m not sure I could say technology alienates me. I do have 459 friends on Facebook, after all. That�s at least 458 beyond isolated.
On the flip side (not to be confused with flip phone, which is so 2008) there is a conflicting opinion, which causes complete technology discord. Another group in another camp views technological progress as beneficial to society and believes technology has the potential to improve the human condition to the point that eventually people may be able to live indefinitely.
That�s a long time - maybe too long. I don�t think I�d want to live to be 200; not unless they find a technological cure for wrinkles.
Lame humor aside, both camps would probably agree that technology is laden with complex issues that have yet to be sorted. Genetic engineering, drones and nanotechnology all create ethical and philosophical dialogues and dilemmas too big to tackle � or even joke about � here.
The idea of stepping back from technology and living a simple, self-sustaining, unplugged life has its appeal, but it would be difficult to completely turn one�s back on modern technology. Imagine washing clothes with one of those scrubbing boards or talking to your best friend on a phone attached to the kitchen wall via a 10 foot cord.
Computer monitors. Baby monitors. Smart TVs. Smartphones. Garage door openers. Can openers. Crowbars. Barcodes. They all have been or are a part of my everyday life.
The newest technology frees us from multiple cumbersome (old) technological devices like the common wristwatch, film camera, record player, flashlight, calculator, calendar, stopwatch, alarm clock and friend counter. It puts the weather forecast, ability to email, read the weekly grocery store ad and play video poker at our fingertips. And it boosts communication � at least at my house. I�m not sure how I�d ever connect with my teenagers if texting didn�t exist (*IMHO).
Back to our original question: Does technology free us or trap us? Until today, I naively didn�t realize the complexity of the issue. Now I do. And even though I�m uncertain which side of the debate I�m on, one thing�s for sure: I won�t look at my smartphone � or a crowbar � the same way ever again.
