Roses at Sickles
diane_nj 6b/7aMarch 16, 2006
Hey rosarians, I just noticed that Sickles in Little Silver has placed their list of available roses online at Sickles Rose List. I don't work there, I don't get anything from this. I volunteer on their Rose Day, which is scheduled for May 6th this year.
If you are looking for a particular rose (especially the Knock Outs, they go fast), call and reserve them. Also call for pricing.

Piece of C---
You really do get what you pay for- and unfortunately sites like Overstock.com that sell these products perpetuate poorly made cheap furniture. I shopped around- considered buying the original Eames table, but opted for this one since it was less costly and the description made it sound like it was pretty solid. In the less than 3 months we have had this table- the base is cracked and the table top, which deems itself 'chip resistant' is well, chipped. I am really really disappointed that Overstock sold this item to me- but I understand they are here ti make money off of naive customers like me. Buyer beware. I wish Overstock would be more conscious of protecting it's consumers- but that will remain a wish.Read More
From distance
Table arrived incredibly packaged. We could make several wedding gowns with the bubble wrap. So, It arrived in good shape, unfortunately it left the factory with some bubbles in the surface, but there is no way to return it because it is heavy and it took a lot of energy to unwrap and set up. A placemat will cover it up. I love the shape of this classic table, but I wish I had ordered the 47 ". Actually I thought I had, but it was only 40" and you can seat 4 at that, but it is tight.Read More

Shopping Guides
Choosing Dining Tables
Choosing from among the many different types of dining tables can be a fun and thrilling shopping experience. There's a perfect dining table for your room whether you're redecorating your dining room or furnishing your new home. Just like any other piece of furniture, there are certain characteristics you'll need to be aware of when purchasing a dining table. If you're well informed, you'll pick the perfect table the first time around. Here is a list of tips to remember when choosing dining tables.
Popular Styles of Dining Tables
Dining rooms are only as good as the dining tables used to decorate them. It doesn't matter if you're completely remodeling or you merely want to upgrade your dining area; dining tables are one of the most important pieces of furniture for your kitchen or dining room. Your dining room is more than just a place to eat. It's a place where wonderful memories are made, whether with friends or family, during weekly dinners or over the holidays. Investing in a dining table set instantly upgrades the atmosphere and appearance of your dining room. However, you need to know what kind of dining room table to purchase in order to show off your house at its fullest potential. Not all dining tables fit all styles. Keep reading to find out which are the most popular styles of dining tables so you can pick the one that best fits your personality and your home's decor.
Dining Tables Buying Guide
Selecting a dining table seems simple enough, but since it gets a great deal of use, you want to make sure you choose the right one. Your dining room table can serve as a daily meeting place for family, the place where loved ones gather to celebrate holidays and milestones, or a staging area for big projects; all that adds up to one significant piece of furniture. To find your ideal dining room table, consider these features: size, capacity, shape, and style.
Bistro Tables for Outdoor Dining
Sharing a meal with family or friends outdoors is a refreshing change from sitting around the dining room table. Bistro tables add elegance and charm to any outdoor patio, balcony, porch or garden area when entertaining. When set for two, a cozy bistro set encourages conversation in close proximity. Whether you're sharing a meal with an intimate date or having brunch with a few friends, bistro tables make the experience quaint and enjoyable.
How to Set Round Dining Tables
If you are planning a formal dinner or a holiday party, setting one or more round dining tables is a smart way to design your occasion. With round dining tables, everyone can see each other and socialize easily. When setting round dining tables with formal dinnerware, there are few simple rules of dining etiquette to follow to make sure everyone gets their proper tableware. If you are throwing a formal dinner or holiday party, a well-set table creates a formal ambiance or a festive vibe for your guests to enjoy.
Best Table Shape for the Kitchen or Dining Room
A kitchen or dining room table is often the centerpiece of the room. Chances are you are going to have the same table for many years, so when you are picking out the right table for your room, you are going to want to find a perfect fit. Most tables come in a few main shapes, so be sure to choose the one that is perfect for your family and kitchen or dining room over a long period of time.
How to Get Sticky Spills off of Dining Room Tables
The last thing you want on dining room tables is a sticky spill. Not only is sticky residue unsightly on dining room tables, it can also brush up against your clothes, stick to plates or other items and just be a general hassle. Don't tolerate sticky messes on your dining table. In fact, the sooner you clean it up, the easier the process will be. Plus, leaving messes too long can damage the surface or appearance of your kitchen table. Chances are you'll want your dining set to last as long as possible. Here are a few tips to cleaning up sticky residue and keeping your dining table set in prime condition.
How to Decorate Your Dining Room with Round Area Rugs
Add color and warmth to your dining room by laying area rugs atop hardwood or tiled floors. Round area rugs are a perfect fit for dining rooms with circular tables. Whether it's the main dining table, a decorative accessory table or simply a floor lamp with a spherical lamp shade, round area rugs are the perfect accent piece. They can also be used to freshen the look of worn or stained carpet in a well-used dining room.
FAQs about Butterfly Leaf Tables
Also known as expandable tables, butterfly leaf tables are a helpful solution for solving space problems in a small dining room. Traditional dining room tables take up more space, and not everyone has that kind of space. Rather than settling for a smaller table that can't accommodate guests on special occasions, you can use a table that can be extended to allow for more seating when you need it. Here are the answers some of the most frequently asked questions about butterfly leaf tables.
How to Organize Clutter on a Dining Room Table
All too often, kitchen and dining room tables become a catchall for things, often because of a lack of organization and storage options. When children come home from school, the jackets and backpacks land on the kitchen table as kids head to the refrigerator. After doing several loads of laundry, clean clothes can end up on the dining room table. Mail, bills, books, phone chargers and accessories seem to migrate to this location over time. Cleaning off the dining room table can give your family back a space to come together and socialize without the presence of a TV.
Top 5 Drop-leaf Table Styles for Small Spaces
When space is scarce, a drop-leaf dining table is an efficient solution for seating guests. If you frequently entertain but your kitchen or dining room is small, then this is the perfect table for you. Drop-leaf tables come in many different styles, each of which is compact and functional in addition to being beautiful. Here are the top five types to consider when you are shopping for a drop-leaf dining table.
How to Measure for a Dining Table
A beautiful dining table is not only the centerpiece of any dining room; it is often the heart of the home as well. Many people choose the largest dining table they can, but it's important to ensure that you have adequate space not only for the table but also for the chairs and the people who will be sitting in them. Measuring your dining area for a perfect fit isn't complicated and will guarantee a comfortable dining experience for years to come.
How to Set a Dining Table
The ability to set a proper dining table is a vanishing art. It's often a miracle if the dinnerware gets used at all on a busy schedule, but it doesn't have to be that way: Learning how to set a dining table is easy and can be done in short order. By following this simple process, you will impress dinner guests with a classy and personalized dining table. Note that these instructions detail how to complete one proper setting. Simply repeat the process for each setting needed.
Tips on Dining Table Settings
A well-set dining table is nearly as crucial to a great meal as the food. Don't underestimate the importance of your formal table setting; properly prepared dining table sets enhance the leisurely enjoyment of a meal, while a sloppily prepared dinner table can diminish the appeal. Read on for a variety of helpful table setting ideas and tips on creating dining table settings.
How to Choose a Dining Table
For most families, the dining table is the heart of the home. Whether it's a place to gather with your children for casual dinners or a formal table at which you and your spouse host elaborate dinner parties, the dining table is an important and substantial piece of furniture. In many families, the dining room table has been well taken care of and handed down from generation to generation. Carefully consider how and where you will be using your table before you choose to purchase one.
How to Decorate a Dining Room Table
For most people, the days are gone where you reserve the dining room table for special occasions like Thanksgiving dinner. The dining table once stayed in a room of its own, closed off from the rest of the house. These days, the dining table serves as an essential focal point in many homes, particularly those with open floor plans that afford views of the dining area from the living room, kitchen or entryway. Keep your look fresh and sophisticated by decorating your dining room table with functional and stylish pieces.
How to Set a Dining Table for 12
Hosting a dinner party is a lot of fun, whether you are just having friends over for a small celebration or family over to share a holiday meal. You likely already own most of the dinnerware, glasses and kitchen linens you need, and setting a dining table is a golden opportunity to use your fine kitchen linens and formal dinnerware that may have been collecting dust in your closet. While setting a table for 12 can be a bit intimidating, it is not a difficult or lengthy process, and your guests will be impressed by your hosting talents and knowledge of conventional etiquette.
FAQs about Dining Table Chairs
Choosing the right dining table chairs can make or break the look of your dining room. If you've already chosen a table, and most people have by the time they're looking for chairs, then you know that dining room and bar furniture is available in a stunning array of choices. Before purchasing dining table chairs, ask yourself some key questions so you're sure to get the furniture that's right for you.
Dining Chairs Buying Guide
Your dining table is the focus of your dining room and ties all of your dining room furniture together. Although your dining chairs will not be the main attraction of your room, they will be the key to a successful dining experience. If your dining room chairs are uncomfortable, your dinner parties may be, also. Your chairs will need to complement your other dining room furniture while creating just the right seating for every holiday party. Let us help you buy dining chairs that will fit your room, your table and your lifestyle while still being comfortable and stylish.
How to Remove Scratches from a Wooden Table
Scratches on wooden dining tables not only present an unsightly appearance; they leave the wood unprotected and open to staining and moisture. Scratches can be slight or deep, and removing each type requires a different method of repair. The finish of your wooden table also plays a part in how to remove the scratches, especially if the scratch is deep.

I pretty much worked out of the nickle and dime defensive packages the whole game. Right before the snap, you quickly adjust my defensive line close together and nudge them an inch forward then you pick on of the two in the center and have them take a step back. When the ball is snapped, their offensive linesmen will block yours, but the one that is suppose to block the one you control will block someone else. The double-teamed defensive tackle gets plowed out of the way leaving a nice hole for you to run through and sack the QB. There were a few run plays that could counter this, but the computer rarely called them. In season mode, my record for sacks by a single player is 136 by Bruce Smith. I don't know how many his teammates had, but it had to be similar.
Another one of my favorite SNES games with broken logic was NHL Stanley Cup.
#85 of the Oilers scored 473 goals in one season with only 917 shots on goal. (The counter rolled over somewhere around 250)
Most goals by a team in a game: Oilers 30 out of 51 shots on goal
Most goals in a game by a single player: #16 St. Louis - 17 out of 24 shots.
The trick was to get a break-away with a fast skater, come up along the boards and angle towards the net at the dots, then when you get to the dots - coast. This draws the goalie away from the net and towards you. When you see him advance, you skate around him to the front of an empty net. Some goalies are quick enough to recover, but you should still be able to sneak in a few goals a game against the best.
Another game, Super Tennis, the easy way to beat Don J. is to lob to one of the back corners then run to the middle of the baseline. Don J. always smashes back up the middle. You use his hard smash against him by returning it up the opposite side of the court.

No Political Front, Nair-Ezhava unity in one month, says Vellappally Natesan
15/07/2012 23:54:27 Courtesy:www.kaumudi.com
MUNNAR: The SNDP Yogam General Secretary Vellappally Natesan said on Sunday that the Yogam would reach a compromise with Nair Service Society (NSS), would co-operate with them and would materialize the Nair-Ezhava unity within one month. He said he would hold talks with NSS General Secretary G. Sukumaran Nair. He also said that the unity is not against Christians or Muslims.
The new found unity of the two influential units, which for long have been at divergent poles on caste-based reservation, is based on their contention that the genuine interests of the 'majority community' have been trampled on under the Congress-led UDF government in which Indian Union Muslim League and Christian-dominated Kerala Congress (M) are key partners and handle vital portfolios like Finance and Education.
The leadership meeting of SNDP at Munnar in Idukki in the last two days had authorised its general secretary Vellappally Natesan to take decision to cement the unity with NSS. The majority of union members demanded in the meeting that SNDP should form a political party. But the leadership concluded that the Yogam would not form party directly and that any member who is interested is free to form it.
SNDP is keen to expand the unity plank by enlisting the support of all non-political Hindu outfits representing communities from Dalits to Brahmins.
The director board of NSS, which met at its headquarters at Perunna in Kottayam on Saturday, reciprocated the SNDP move by entrusting its general secretary G Sukumaran Nair to go ahead with plans to create a joint platform of the two communities, who together constitute a majority of the Hindu fold.

No good track record
I would suggest Hindu's to be cautions with this move and both Vellappally & Sukumaran Nair have no good track record. They have proved by their past acts that they can be brought. The idea to unite all non-political hindu outfits itself is a clear signal that their aim is to weaken Sangh & BJP.

Hindu Front
Start a Hindu front and BJP may part of this front. So candidates can contest elections under this front. BJP may on its own symbol and others can select their own symbol. This front should stand for the Hindu interest.
Venugopal Kaikulath
17/07/2012 09:17:26
Split of Hindu votes avoided.
The decision not to form a new political party is a wise one because it could have led to a split in Hindu votes. Now the BJP can campaign more confidently to garner the votes of a newly awakened Hindu constituency.
16/07/2012 09:47:15
Road Blocks
Dewaswom Board and reservation, these are the two issues which never allow these two groups to unify. Unless they resolve these issues or reach an understanding on future policies, irrespective of government intervention (UDF may try to create split) survival or even take off of this unity is doubtful. If it takes off they should arrange a combined rally in Trivandrum. The success of rally will certainly open the minority's government in Kerala.
The doctrines inculcated by Jesus and his apostles are quite different from those human inventions which the missionaries are persuaded to profess.

James P. Aylward
James P. Aylward (1885-1982) was a Missouri attorney and Democratic party leader, strongly influencing democratic politics in Missouri for much of the first half of the century.
Brief Biography[edit]
James P. Aylward was born in Peoria, Illinois on September 10, 1885[1] to Irish immigrants. When he was about six months old, his family relocated to Kansas City, Missouri where his 12 brothers and sisters were born. His left school after fifth grade and began to take on a variety of jobs: newspaper carrier, Western Union delivery boy, office boy. In 1899, he came to work for a prominent Kansas City Attorney, Frank P. Walsh. Walsh inspired Brother Aylward's interest in both the law and in Democratic Missouri politics.[2]
He began the study of law in that law office, and eventually went to night school at the Kansas City School of Law which is now the University of Missouri at Kansas City where he was initiated into the Benton Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. He was admitted to the Missouri Bar in 1908, and became partners with longtime mentor Frank Walsh. He continued his involvement in Missouri politics as well as on the Phi Alpha Delta National Scene, and added "Adjunct Professor" to his resume, lecturing on insurance law at the Kansas City School of Law.
By this time, Brother Aylward's political involvement in Missouri had begun to consume his time. From 1918 to 1936, he served as Jackson County Democratic Committee Chairman. In 1934, he persuaded Harry S. Truman to run for the United States Senate and served as his Campaign Manager. Success on the Truman campaign, helped Brother Aylward take over as State Chair of the Missouri Democratic Party from 1934 to 1938 and serve as a member of Democratic National Committee for Missouri from 1934-1942. In 1936, he had the honor of seconding the nomination for Franklin D. Roosevelt as Democratic Candidate for the Presidency of the United States.[2]

How much Does BM Advance yellow ??
Any info on this topic is pretty hard to find. At least for me.
BM Advance is a water based alkyd and so it has been said that it may/could/does yellow. especially using white.
I'm thinking of using this paint (white) on my Kitch cabs as it seems to level the best. However I'm concerned about touch ups and a difference in color over time.
Funny thing (to me) is, BM has a sort of tutorial on their site for repainting kitch cabs and they use white advance. Maybe they don't know it yellows.
Or, is this whole "yellowing" thing so negligent that it doesn't matter? Is it like a 30 year thing or a 5 year thing?
Has anyone had experience with this "yellowing" of Advance?
It's talked about by BM.
Substitute it is the simple, easy answer.
Advance has a 16 hour dry time. That's a production killer.
There are other cabinet paints that will provide identical service and won't yellow or take all summer to dry.
Cabinet Coat
Ace Cabinet Paint
Here is a link that might be useful: Yellowing of alkyd paints
Thanks brushworks.
"Substitute, it is the simple, easy answer."
That's usually the case I guess. Actually, Advance was going to be the substitute.:)
I've tried the CC. don't like the high sheen. If I use it, I would have to topcoat with water poly to get the right sheen. I guess that's an option though. Argh....
Do you happen to know if the 'Ace' version is as shiny as CC. Also, I'm trying to use a BM color (simply white).
I wonder if BM sells a flattening agent.. Hmm..
Thanks for the BM link. Funny, they recommend Impervo (water) as they have another "tutorial" on their site showing best kitchen cab paint to be Advance (white). Here:
Anyway, your link refers to Alkyds yellowing. Hence my original question about Advance yellowing as it's not really a true alkyd. At least as far as I understand it. That said, It's probably too new of a product for anyone to really know it's degree of yellowing possibilities.
I've found that Impervo (water) goes on like pancake batter and doesn't level at all. Maybe with half a jug of floetrol it might work.
Target coatings tinted 6500 lacquer is pretty nice but they can't get the color right.
So, I'm back to Advance. Actually, now I'm thinking of just top coating Bins Primer.
Ok, I'm off to BM to see if they can tint the CC.
More friggin samples I guess......
Sorry if this post is a little incongruent. My brain is fried from all this. It's pretty much the color and sheen that is the problem.
I have only had one experience so far with Advance, and I did not notice that it dried any slower than Impervo. I was able to do a second coat on the trim the next day, which is what one expects. It's never a great idea to double-up on paint coats, though I've done it under pressure. (and for slimy acrylic semi-gloss it's the only way to get a second coat to adhere...)
The trim paint was a yellowy-cream, so no yellowing concerns there. I was happy with my Advance experience, and will try it again. It's nicer to work with than my old go-to which is Dulamel. Kills fewer brain cells, too.

Hardy hib, should I prune?
I have several hibiscus that I've just let grow tall each year. There are enough stalks coming up this year, that I could cut some back to bush out and leave some to grow tall. will they do that? Can I take cuttings? Cut back to a leaf node? Any help is appreciated : )
This is one, maybe disco Bell? it has big pink flowers with dark center... should I cut it back now? it's about 18 or 20 inches tall.
I have to admit, I've never though much about pruning the hardy hibiscus to encourage branching for some reason, but do of course especially for certain types of flowers. Some seem to do a fair amount of branching on their own while others may just produce a single stem with terminal blossoms. I'd think if you encourage extra branching you'd get much smaller flowers however, as more of the plants energy would go into numerous extra blossoms, and for larger flowers on many plants, most folks remove extra branches and keep to a single stem so all the energy can go into a few large blooms. I have noticed the ones with more branches do seem to have overall smaller flowers than the ones with no or very few branches. I've never heard of starting them from cuttings, but it's possible that's just not the easiest method, and I believe most cultivars are propagated by dividing the clumps in early spring , once the plants have had several years to increase the size of the clumps. The variety pictured doesn't look like DiscoBelle to me since it seems mine has very regular oval type leaves without the divided look some of yours show, but it's possible some of them can vary in leaf type. It's possible that I don't even have Disco Belle , but Southern Belle instead since it was years ago that I bought the seeds, and both varieties were offered in the catalog. My memory isn't what it used to be, and it's been almost 18 years since I planted mine. Do you have the red (Lord Baltimore) since those leaves remind me of pictures I've seen of Lord Baltimore or one of the other varieties. I couldn't name the specific ones!! Seeds are also the second most popular way of growing the hardy hibiscus though they may not "come true" from seeds. From my red Disco Belles I got almost white seedlings with pink shading around the outsides of the petals, but those are very pretty as well. I sometimes wonder however, if the "unplaned" pink ones , which just showed up in my garden , since I hadn't planted the seeds, could have been from a stray seed that had been mixed in with some other flower seeds by accident. I didn't plant the seeds , but left them where they came up as "volunteers" to see how they'd turn out. If I hadn't had them show up , I most likely would have ordered some varieties that were that color anyway.
I believe your hibiscus is Disco Belle. They do not grow as tall as Southern Belle. If your plant is not too large, you could lift it out of the ground, take a sharp knife and slice down through it making 2 or 3 pieces or in other words just divide it. They have bulbs similar to a sweet potato. If you water it well, I believe it will be fine. I like Disco Belle because they do not grow so large. It is better to divide it as it comes up. They are not difficult to raise. Your picture has the disco belle leaves---they are notched and are a little different than the Southern Belle foliage.
I never thought to prune my Hibiscus 'Kopper King' because the winter does that for me--it kills ALL the above-ground growth. Then it looks like it's gone forever until one day I see ONE small leaf, and the next day the plant just EXPLODES in growth.
I did it, wacked a few stalks back some and they have branched out. All the new branches are way smaller than the stalks that come from the ground. I'm guessing they will have smaller flowers? While I wasn't looking, the tall stalks arched over, I shoulda staked them. The one I pruned is the Lord Baltimore, big red flowers. The one in the picture, I left alone. Last year I got a red Texas Star and this year I bought a white hardy (didn't get a name) and a cocinia (don't know if I spelled that right) as a pond plant. Yehaw, just luv the hibs, are they addictive?
I tried to take a pic of the prune and branching but it just looked like a bunch of green.
Last year I, not knowing any better, followed the advice of someone that told me to cut the whole plant down to ground level (it only had one "trunk" coming up out of the ground about 2 1/2 inches across). Well - later on I figured I just killed it. This spring it came back with a purpose - it now has 4-5 "trunks" growing from the ground out around the original "trunk" and it is much taller and bushier looking than the first year growth. It hasn't bloomed yet but has lots of buds. Next spring it has to be moved - I planted it in the wrong spot. I guess if it can survive being "beheaded" it should survive a move in the spring.
Yes, you can pinch out the top growth and the hibiscus will branch out and grow new stems as well. I did this with my Texas Star, and the flowers are no smaller at all. The hib in your picture looks like the foliage on my 'Fantasia'. The foliage of the disco series is pretty plain, but some of the new hybrids are descendants of 'Texas Star' or coccinia, and have the "maple leaf" foliage. The foliage doesn't look dark enough to be 'Kopper King'. I have that, too.
Hi there - Because hibiscus are rapid growers, If you want a fuller looking plant, height-control measures are a must to avoid "legginess." Removing the terminal bud when plants are small makes plants bushier with stronger branches. Pinch before stems elongate and when internode length is less than 3 inches. Pinching at this stage creates more vegetative breaks - and the flowers are no smaller.
If you want to use chemical growth regulators, try a 5 parts per million drench with Bonzi or a combination of Cycocel/B-Nine 500/5,000 ppm. If your plant is already well established, make the first Bonzi application after pinching, breaks are then 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. A second application, if necessary, can be made at bud set to stop vertical growth and prevent the "stretching" that typically occurs just before flowers open.
I have both hybrids as well as wild varieties that grow here in the swamps of Ohio.
Since I like "big" flowers, I have my hardy hibiscus planted with cannas ( which I also collect ) mid and late season daylilies ( another collection ) and an assortment of sunflowers and cleomes.
Maybe I can attract a "Big Foot" to nest there :)
While my website, listed below, is about archaeology, anthropology and history - I do have a decent gardening section included.
Here is a link that might be useful: archaeolink.com
Do hibiscus really really like water?
With my water loving plants, I use a small section of pond liner and plant it about 18 inches down in the soil, right under the plant--this keeps that area more moist than the surrounding areas and the elephant ears, cannas, ligularia
grow to beat the band.
If you visit the Fleming Nursury website, they recommend cutting them back when yhey are about a foot tall, to about six inches. Who would know more about hardy hibiscus then the Fleming Bros? they developed Kopper King, Ol' yeller, fireball, and many more of the hardiest hibiscus on the planet.

Please Provide HVAC/Geothermal Primer!
We just started a renovation/addition on our 1960s home in the Washington, DC metro region. We are considering installing a geothermal system (e.g., Climate Master Tranquility 27 unit/s). I am looking to get up to speed so I can ask intelligent questions as we consider various HVAC options and costs - particularly related to this type of geothermal system. As we go to bid, would you please help me know what I should be looking for from each bidder/installer?
I want to get this right, and have time to do a lot of research, etc.
Thanks in advance!
Attached is a link to a "shopper's list" for geothermal heat pumps that may be of some use to you. I am in the researching/cost evaluation phase of replacing my HVAC system as well, and am considering geothermal as one option.

Landon defends city vs. Panera
Date: January 9, 2013
by: Megan Hoye | Staff Writer
Panera Bread won't be opening a second location in Palm Coast, but that's not the city's fault, Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon said Tuesday at a workshop for the Palm Coast City Council.
"That was a difficult project (that) had a lot of problems," Landon said, referring to the construction of Panera Bread's first location on State Road 100. "They had a very dysfunctional design team."
Josh Jeppesen, a project manager for Schmid Construction, the company that headed the restaurant's vertical construction, said building in Palm Coast was complicated and lengthy. Contractors and developers in the area have criticized the city, calling it unfriendly to businesses and growth.
But Landon said he believes the only reason the Panera Bread project ever finished was because the city made special allowances for the company. One of those allowances was allowing concurrent review of site plans for the restaurant in effort to expedite the permitting process — but Panera Bread submitted two different designs for review, Landon said.
So when construction began, problems arose because contractors were working from two plans. The problem, Landon said, was of faulty design.
Other issues that arose, Landon said, were that a contractor on site was caught doing work he was not licensed to do, among other complications.
The city will always ensure that building codes are upheld and proper permits are obtained for all work, Landon said, even if that's considered "business unfriendly." "Any time in the regulatory arena, there are going to be conflicts," Landon said. "It's the nature of the beast when you have a regulatory agency telling someone what they need to do."
Still, Landon agreed that there are problems within the city's development process that need to be addressed. His solution is the same as the one many critics of the city offer: improving communication between all parties involved on a project.
He also suggested bringing in an outside consultant that could assess the city's developing processes independently and suggest areas for improvement.
"I think it's time that we take a look at our whole process — not from a builder's standpoint or from a developer's standpoint, but from the private sector or business sector," Landon said, "so we can see if there's something we can do better."

- First, I would like to say, the government is not here to hinder anything, but to facilitate the development of the community. The service they provide is customer service based. In any business that is successful; the customer is always right approach will lead to success.
I lost total respect for Jim Landon the night he met with the "L" section residents and citizens. When you enter a potential hostile situation and you make a joke out of our complaints, this renders you as a totally disrespectful for the people who pay your salary (which is large). To continue to hear stuff like this is not surprising, but is actually expected from the two dealings I have personally seen.
I live in this community, I like this community, what I don't like about this community is the City of Palm Coast and they way they treat business and residents. I hear first hands accounts of the way they handle business and I myself have dealt with the city over something that would be simple, yet turns complicated because of attitudes.
This is a business that creates jobs here in Palm Coast. This is a tax bearing business that will boost the economy. I would be extremely grateful they have considered our community for a second location! I would do everything possible to ensure this goes through; not changing the way I deal with every other business. Meaning, I would help every single business that would like to expand in this community and facilitate them, not impede in their processes!
Jim, you are arrogant, irresponsible, and reckless in your behavior. Your damaging this community! Your attitude and demeanor outside of your job is the same way. You and the City of Palm Coast City Council are not better than the average citizen!
Mayor Netts during the Christmas Parade showed his true colors! His staff and he attempted to move kids from the parade area to accommodate the "elected officials." Stuff like this makes the "elected officials" irrelevant to me and other citizens who watched this debacle occur. Also, Netts, you need to walk, your getting big. It will not hurt you to walk instead of using the fire department's golf cart to lug you around! You're not better than the citizens!
Do you see how this is attacking. This is how you treat us citizens. It is not polite. Treat others as you expect to be treated and good things will happen! I am appalled at you Mr. Landon for your inability to facilitate Panera Bread. Do you think they only have one location in Palm Coast, FL? No, they have tons of business across the United States! The funny thing is, do you hear on the news of any problems with how they set up business? Nope. When you point one finger, you go three pointing right back at you! I don't have to read any other articles to know you "screwed the pooch" on this. You owe them an apology and get this fixed. This is what your paid to do! Make things happen, not go away!
Your not always right, lower your arrogance to the normal citizen, and talk to people as equal, not down to them.

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 241923 AFDSGF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 223 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2015 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight) Issued at 141 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2015 In the near term severe weather chances are the obvious concern. Sfc low over just north of KEQA in se KS as of 18z will progress east with a trailing dry line/sfc trough moving into the eastern cwfa by 21z. Cap in place now, but a combo of daytime warming, mid level cooling with increased lift and a narrow corridor of low level moisture advection is expected to weaken the cap over the next couple of hours allowing sfc convergence near the boundary to initiate storms. Latest high res guidance (HRRR, among others) have been consistent with developing convection by 21z-22z close to the se KS/sw Mo state line. While model dew points may be a bit bullish, still looks like a good bet with a corridor/broken line of convection moving quickly w-e through the cwfa late this afternoon and early this evening. ML CAPE values of 1000-2000 j/kg indicated by the HRRR in a narrow corridor along the sfc trough coupled with more than adequate deep level 0-6 km bulk shear of around 40-50 kts and 0-3 km helicity of 200-300 m2/s2 will allow rotating updrafts to develop with stronger convection. With somewhat limited low level moisture/higher cloud bases, the main storm hazard will be hail given steep mid level lapse rates. Localized severe winds also a possibility. The tornado risk would appear low (but not zero), again given the lack of deeper low level moisture and a veered low level sfc wind profile along the sfc trough. The severe window should be small time-wise. Storms should quickly move east through the cwfa this evening, weakening late with more limited instability. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Tuesday) Issued at 215 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2015 A second shortwave, more positively tilted, will make it`s way through the region Wed with a cold frontal passage expected. Weather hazards may include some severe wx and a risk of excessive rainfall over the southeast half of the cwfa. Storms are expected to re-initiate in the afternoon gradually coalescing into line segments, potentially training, over parts of southern mo late in the afternoon and evening. Again the main storm concerns will be during the initialization phase with hail and winds with MLCAPE values of 1000-2000 j/kg over far southern MO with abundant deep layer shear. With the potential for training storms in the evening, some guidance is hitting rainfall amounts hard (particularly the 12z ECMWF, NAM, GFS) in south central MO where recent heavy rain and flooding occurred. Will be looking at a possible flood watch for portions of the area, but still ironing out the details. Unseasonable cold is expected late in the week as a deep upper level trough develops over much of the eastern CONUS. Nighttime temperatures will drop below freezing late in the week. Small scale shortwaves moving se through the region may kick off some light/brief periods of rain/snow at times. A modest warming trend develops late in the extended period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 121 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2015 Pilots flying in and out of the southwest Missouri airports need to monitor radar closely late this afternoon and this evening. Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop near the Kansas and the Missouri state line, and move east through much of southern and central Missouri. Large hail appears to be the main severe weather risk with these storms. By 8 or 9pm, this activity will shift east of the southwest Missouri airports, allowing for VFR conditions the rest of the night. Look for surface winds to become light and variable by mid evening. Safe Travels. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...DSA LONG TERM...DSA AVIATION...Cramer

K9 Proves Vital For La Crosse PD
Over the last couple weeks the La Crosse Police Department's Investigative Bureau has executed several search warrants and made multiple, high profile drug arrests. These large cases can overshadow the excellent work being done by the front line officers. The front line uniformed police officers are the "back bone" of our police department. We would like to highlight a recent night of activity from Officer LeQue and his new K-9 partner Ralph. Officer LeQue is assigned to second shift patrol and recently took over the handling of K-9 Ralph from Officer Fitzgerald who was promoted to an Investigator.
On March 2nd the newly formed K-9/Handler relationship took a big step forward with a highly productive night. Officer LeQue deployed K9 Ralph on 4 separate traffic stops resulting in the arrest of 6 people, the recovery of over 36 grams of marijuana, and 3 drug smoking pipes. One of these deployments led to the arrest of a suspect wanted for a heroin related charge; a drug that has repeatedly proven to be dangerous to our community. Assistant Chief Abraham stated: "Our K-9 units have proven to be a tremendous asset to the Department and the community. The message to drug dealers is clear, keep out of La Crosse" The La Crosse Police would like to thank the community for their continued support of men, women and K-9's that work extremely hard to keep our community safe and drug free.
Feehan To Run For 32nd Senate District
Bill Feehan officially announced his candidacy for the 32nd state Senate district at an announcement event on Monday. The County board supervisor and chairman of the La Crosse County Republican Party said his experience as a business owner and elected official give him a unique perspective on how to grow the economy and create jobs. "People in Western Wisconsin are hurting. Many people are unemployed and have given up looking for work. Others have accepted lower paying jobs," Feehan said. "We must grow our economy and create jobs," he added, citing a proposal in northwestern Wisconsin an opportunity to create thousands of high quality new jobs and generate new tax revenue. "We will see if our elected officials vote to grow our economy and create jobs or pander to environmental interests." Feehan said we need to move beyond the current political climate. "Recalls are bad government, he said. "It's time to set aside the bitterness and to start working together to create a better future for Wisconsin." Feehan owns three local businesses with his wife, Sue Kolve-Feehan, who also spoke at Monday's event. Feehan has also worked at Unilever Food Solutions for 16 years, where most recently he's been responsible for managing business with regional food service chains.
Two Repeat Drunk Drivers Charged In La Crosse
A couple of repeat drunk driving suspects appeared before a La Crosse judge on Monday...
Whitney Zemple is facing his fourth drunk driving arrest. Zemple's blood alcohol was measured at .17. He's also accused of trying to escape and fight with a cop.
Another driver, Sean Iverson of La Crosse, could be convicted of O-W-I for the sixth time. Iverson had beers in his car when an officer stopped him for a broken light. While his .14 was lower than the level for Zemple, Iverson is not supposed to have blood alcohol above .02 because of his past arrests.
Shilling Responds To First Senate Challenger
Senator Jennifer Shilling has released a statement in response to the news that a Republican challenger has announced his candidacy for the 32nd Senate District. She says "There will be ample time to debate political differences, but with less than two weeks left in the current legislative session, I remain focused on working with my colleagues in the Senate to address the serious economic challenges that are impacting families in our state. Shilling says she continues to hear from residents who are frustrated with the direction that our state is headed under the current Republican policies, and she looks forward to the ongoing discussions about how to move our state forward.
