Conduit 2 - Launch Trailer
Check out the launch trailer for the sci-fi action-shooter, Conduit 2.

where is the f&*k is the reveiw!!! :[
The voice acting is HORRIBLE
To all the people talking about wanting the review Tom McShea said it will be up on Monday.
@fundai ur right. conduit was never suppost to be the best shooter out there. it is just a compent FPS with a decent online DM. Thats what they wanted to do. I am going to get C2 just because i miss quake 2 or Unreal 2004. this is what conduit is support to be like. but on Wii. Not as good as KZ3...but that doesnt mean its terrible.
@MEDzZ3RO I agree; Wii needs lots more Quality FPS's But Do they all have to be serious? I Like that this game seems to not take itself as serious as the first did, tryes to mantain an easy going dialogue. Yes most of the best shooters are the serious ones, but maybe this one doesn't have to be?!
@Fundai I disagree, where Wii is concerned it could actually do with more good shooters. I can only think of The Conduit 2, Red Steel 2, Goldeneye 007, Medal Of Honor and Call Of Duty as being standout fps titles on the system.
wheres the review already?
where is the review for crying out loud?
where is the review for crying out loud?
The campaign looks pretty good but I'm still concerned about the multiplayer. Man, when are we gonna see the Gamespot review?
They keep any of the voice actors from the last games? Lame.
So.......1 Critic say's its actually better than Goldeneye....
uhhh... I dont know what to say... The treailer has stereotypical epic music but it looks comical. Which is good, cuz we dont need another serious FPS out there.

This new academic paper claims Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier are well-along on a path to "strategic destruction".
To sum up, outsourcing to Asian companies is bad because one day they will become stronger than the Western companies that now employ them and we will all become their slaves.
Or something like that.
The DEW Line detects a slight bent towards industrial xenophobia in this paper, but perhaps it's just being frighteningly rational. Your thoughts?

How to Change a Bicycle Tire
If you own a bicycle, at some point you will probably have to change the tires. Worn down or cracked bicycle tires can be very dangerous because the tube inside is exposed and may suddenly blow out if you ride over a sharp object. Another reason to change your bicycle tires is if you plan to ride on different types of terrain. You will need a tire with more traction if you switch from cycling on paved roads to cycling off-road, while tires that are narrower are more efficient on smooth, paved roads and trails. When it comes to safety, tires are one of the most important bicycle parts and accessories to consider.

The first Arbor Day took place in Nebraska City, Nebraska, on April 10, 1872. It is estimated that one million trees were planted that day.

Congress Moves to Withhold Detainee Abuse Photos
May 26, 2009 - 6:00 PMCongress is moving to stop a federal court order that would disclose government information to the public - this time the photos of terrorist detainee abuse that President Barack Obama no longer wants to release.
Just days after Obama reversed his position on the photos, Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., backed him up by adding a rider late Thursday to the Senate's version of a $91.3 billion supplemental appropriation covering the costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
In a 5-year-old lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union, a physicians organization and two veterans groups, a U.S. District Court in New York and the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled that 21 of the photos should be released under the Freedom of Information Act.
Earlier this month, Obama said he had reversed his position and would continue to fight the release in court after military commanders persuaded him that the graphic images could stoke anti-American sentiment and endanger U.S. soldiers.
The Lieberman-Graham provision would allow the defense secretary to certify to the president that release of photos or video taken between Sept. 11, 2001, and Jan. 22, 2009, of people captured by U.S. forces outside the United States would endanger lives. In such cases, the release could be prohibited for at least three years.
The House version of the supplemental appropriation bill has no such provision, and the two chambers must still agree on whether to include it in the final bill before it becomes law. Democratic aides say the White House backs the provision.
Freedom of Information groups were not vocally condemning the measure, however, because it also contains another provision, sponsored by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., which they have long sought: Requiring that bills that exempt government data from the Freedom of Information Act explicitly say so in the future. FOIA advocates have complained that such exemptions have been slipped into bills and have been hard for them and the public to track.
This is at least the third time Congress has moved to overturn specific FOIA court rulings involving a limited set of government records.
In 1981, after losing in the district and appeals courts repeatedly, the government was ordered to turn over to tax researcher Sue Long the results of the Internal Revenue Service's taxpayer compliance measurement program audits. These are the most intense audits the government conducts of taxpayers and are used to set numerical standards for selecting which tax returns to audit.
Late at night, Reagan administration Deputy Attorney General Ed Schmults persuaded Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., to include a provision in the Economic Tax Recovery Act of 1981 to prevent release of any information related to audit standards that the Treasury secretary concludes could impair tax enforcement.
Long, now co-director of the Transactional Records Access Center at Syracuse University, said in an interview the provision was submitted under a closed rule that required members to vote against the entire bill if they opposed that provision.
"It's sad to say but that's how the game is played," Long said. "It would be better to have it done more democratically, rather than in a hushed way without debate."
More recently, Congress inserted into an appropriations bill a provision overturning a 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that would have disclosed information from the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives database on firearm traces.
Also, in a more widely applicable 1974 amendment to FOIA itself, Congress overturned a 1973 Supreme Court ruling that said federal judges couldn't review executive branch classification decisions.

Hook, Line, and Bullseye
It's been nearly three years in the making, so it's hard to believe that the day is finally here that we can
share our longest-stretching side-gig to date. We've been designing a collection of products… and a bunch of them are now being sold exclusively at Target (!!!). Cue the sound effect of a cat sprinting out of a bag.
We designed three or four dozen pieces before the final mix was chosen – and those designs, which are an assortment of wall storage and hooks, are available right now at Target.com and will be on endcaps in most US stores starting March 31st.
You'll be able to find them in the Home Improvement section where they'll be hanging out for 14 weeks. Did I mention that we're freaking out like Clara next to a furry mascot that she "just wants to hug and squeeze"?
To say we never thought something like this would ever happen to us might be the biggest understatement of our blogging careers. And even when this process started rolling waaaaay back in July of 2011, we never expected that it would end up here.
When you look at the collection you'll notice that we've adapted a lot of things that we love – from bees and old skeleton keys to a certain ridiculously handsome chihuahua. And everything's priced at $14.99 or less.
We even included a bit of DIY customization in the mix, thanks to these raw wood hook rails (one with a picture ledge on top, and one without) that you can personalize with paint, stain, wallpaper, decoupage, or whatever else you have on hand. Then you can choose any of the four hardware styles in either oil-rubbed bronze or white and screw them into the predrilled rail holes.
But let's rewind back to July of 2011, when this whole thing started. At that time, a company called Liberty Hardware was a sidebar blog sponsor of ours and they asked to come interview us for some research they were doing about the do-it-yourself trend. A few months later, that research turned into an invitation to explore the possibility of designing some products with them. When we said yes there was no part of us that ever envisioned them ending up in a store like Target.
The next two years were an exciting and sometimes intense process of design and development. Never again will we underestimate the work that goes into making those everyday products that we see on store shelves. We were primarily responsible for the creative direction, which involved providing everything from rough sketches to color/finish input along with design tweaks and feedback at every step of the design process. Liberty's team was great to work with, and had things like manufacturing feasibility and sales analysis covered – which was a huge necessity to taking our ideas from paper (and visions in our heads) to real-life objects.
The development process was hugely interesting to us because it was like nothing we had ever seen. From the drawings & images that we provided, the Liberty design team would illustrate some options, the best of which then got modeled either on a computer or in clay by hand (sometimes both). Those then became 3D printed models that could get cast to become real production prototypes and eventually the final product was born. There was feedback, tweaking, and even a few "back to the drawing board" moments at each step in the process. Questions of scale, symmetry, functionality, finish, price, etc. were always being considered – as well as how everything would fit together as a collection. Heck, there was even a focus group held at one point! So all-in-all we probably designed forty or fifty pieces before they got narrowed down to the current mix.
While lots of the design work happened virtually (through email and conference calls), The Liberty team – which is primarily headquartered about 3.5 hours from us in Winston-Salem, NC – traveled to Richmond on several occasions. We also found ourselves traveling to see them in North Carolina, meeting with their design team in Chicago (that's Adam pictured, who has been bringing our ideas to life from day one of the project), and even flying out to the Target headquarters in Minneapolis at one point. Despite that meeting happening in late April of last year, we still happened to catch a major snowstorm. We're not sure how you Minnesotans do it.
That trip in Minneapolis was especially surreal, since it happened just a few months after we had been there for our book tour. It was weird to be secretly traveling there after so freely Instagramming our previous tour travels. We actually got recognized a couple of times while standing outside of the Target offices, so we were pretty freaked out that our cover was blown (to the folks who said hi to us, we can now apologize for being SO INSANELY AWKWARD). Secrets are no fun.
We shot the images you see in this post (and that appear on the packaging) in our house last November. It felt a lot like our book shoots when we were trying to create a diverse mix of backdrops in a house with very few painted walls, so we had to get a little creative. You can see in this photo that we used a remnant piece of grasscloth wallpaper to spice things up behind the Burger hook. And that's our brother-in-law/pro-photographer Todd who did all of the shooting. Nothing like keeping it in the family.
Once it was cropped, you'd never know there was painters tape and blue trim lurking just out of frame.
After all those months, all those trips and meetings, all those designs and redesigns, and all of the shooting/writing for the packaging, it still feels completely unreal that this project is out in the world now. And we're even more excited to hopefully roll out more products as the year goes on. Yup, we're actively pitching new designs that go beyond wall hooks and storage (Target prefers the idea of tight collections, so we're working on different home/DIY themes that could be switched out seasonally).
We owe a huge thanks to all of the people who've been a part of this, especially those who have put up with our silly questions or nit-picky changes. So a big virtual hug goes out to everyone who saw something in our ideas, and helped bring them to life.
And of course we have an insane amount of love for you guys for sharing this crazy journey with us (and for putting up with our "secret project" for so long – we really wished we could have told you, oh, 32 months ago). Never in our wildest dreams did we think that first post back in 2007 would lead us here. Oops, I think the orchestra is playing me out, but picture me waving my chihuahua hook in the air while Sherry gracefully trips over her gown on the way down the steps. She's the J. Law to my J. Leto (I just have to work on my flowing man-mane).
You can browse and buy everything now over on Target.com, and then it'll be in most stores beginning March 31st. Fingers crossed that the sight doesn't send Sherry into labor!

I did finish listening - the story was not boring. But the dialog was rather clunky and awkward to listen to, especially between Mary and Ponter. Lines from Gone With The Wind, ET, and The Wizard of Oz were shamelessly borrowed. The ending, even for SciFI, stretches credibility to the breaking point and I'm happy to leave the story at its end, though there is a sequel, which is previewed and advertised at the end of this recording.
The narrators were good, though my usual criticism of males affecting female voices applies here - the females sound pretty much like, well, men trying to sound like women.
The names of the Neanderthals didn't seem to have any rhyme or reason - did they all have surnames and if so, how were they derived? I didn't look up the characters to see their names in writing, but I enjoyed hearing them as I imagined them - Ponter's daughters, Jasmine, Jazz-bo, Jazmo or Jazno, and Meg-a-Meg, and many whose names I just couldn't figure out at all.
I was annoyed at the continued put-down of human history/society and the elevation of the noble (and brilliant!) Neanderthal society. Of course there are things in human history that merit our shame, but I don't understand the purpose of the comparison in this book and its creation of a fictional "perfect" sentient species.

Health Reform: An undercover operation disclosed on Wednesday shows just how easy it is to defraud ObamaCare. This is your health care on government.
To test administration claims that it had strict controls in place to verify eligibility and subsidy amounts for ObamaCare applicants, the Government Accountability Office sent a dozen people out to try enrolling with made-up identities.
All but one of the 12 succeeded in enrolling in a subsidized ObamaCare plan. Even for government, a 92% failure rate is awfully bad. In cases where the testers couldn't get past the identity check using an online application, they were still able to enroll over the phone.
Three "applicants" didn't bother to submit any supporting documentation about income or citizenship and still got into the program. The government even sent notices to two of the undercover agents, saying their citizenship information had been verified.
At the time the report was put together, all 11 of the undercover operatives were still technically enrolled in ObamaCare plans, which would cost taxpayers a total of $30,000 in subsidies this year.
Health and Human Services officials told the GAO they had no evidence of fraud. How could they when, as the GAO learned, the HHS contractor hired to verify applicant information "is not in a position to know if fraud is being attempted"?
The scale of the problem is potentially massive. According to the GAO, 4.3 million ObamaCare applications have known "inconsistencies" — most of which involve questions about citizenship or income. Only 650,000 of these — or 15% — have been cleared.
The GAO also tried to determine if ObamaCare "navigators" were encouraging applicants to lie about their income to get bigger subsidies. It didn't, but only because five of the six undercover agents couldn't find anyone who would help them. So much for the $67 million in federal "navigator" grants.
More disturbing, the Obama administration can't verify that its subsidy payments to insurers go only for those enrolled. Obama officials told the GAO "they are thus far unable to identify individuals who have made premiums payments" and so must "rely on health insurance issuers to self-report enrollment data."
This casts more doubt on Obama's claim that 8 million signed up. And it practically invites insurers to inflate their enrollment numbers.
For an administration that exemplifies incompetence, this is a new low. But its callous disregard of taxpayer money amounts to criminal negligence.
Milestone: Monday marked the fifth anniversary of ObamaCare, and, naturally, backers used the occasion to extol its many alleged successes. But in doing so, they engaged in some daring feats of legerdemain.Here are some of the biggest exaggerations, shall we say, told about ObamaCare this week, ...
Health Reform: The Obama administration says more than 16 million have gained insurance, thanks to ObamaCare. But a closer look at the numbers shows they're once again playing fast and loose with the data.A two-page report from the Dept. of Health and Human Services claims the uninsured rate fell ...
Health Reform: The Obama administration is touting the "fact" that nearly 12 million people either signed up or re-enrolled for ObamaCare this year. Why on Earth should anyone believe this? First off, we already know that this ObamaCare number is inflated because it counts anyone who picked a plan ...
Health Care: ObamaCare was supposed to be a gift to the uninsured. Maybe someone should have checked with them first. A new poll finds the uninsured hate ObamaCare more than any other group.The Economist/YouGov poll asked the public a series of questions about ObamaCare, and then broke down the ...
Health Reform: If the Supreme Court upholds ObamaCare in King v. Burwell, it will be because Justice Kennedy thinks doing otherwise would cause too much turmoil. But ObamaCare itself has already done that. For those who haven't followed the news, the case centers on the question of whether ...

I count over 100 buds on two brugs. Is this good or bad. Bad because I will not be here to see them bloom. Steve in Baltimore County.
I think I did not cut mine back properly before putting them in the basement. They have only had three blooms up to this point. One is Charles Grimaldi from Gardengramma at 06 swap and the other one a yellow from a cutting at same swap. Steve in Baltimore County.
Mine came on late this season. I also had the varieties that normally bloom late in the season (doubles and variegated varieties) blooming first and the ones that are normally early flowering were late. It's just been a very strange year for my plants in general. For the most part my tropical and sub-tropical plants have not bloomed as well as they usually do. I think it's because they weren't put outside until almost a month later then normal due to our cold spring. Too bad you won't be around to see the nice flush. There's always next year. BTW did you ever make it down to the seller you mentioned near the beach? I always ended up driving to or from the beach at night this summer so I didn't get to go : (
Early flushes were light here this year - maybe a dozen blooms per plant. But yes, the next flush is going to be dazzling. Just noticed a Charles Grimaldi last night that must have 40 buds on it. Not quite in Oscar's league :)
Will the ginger ever bloom? One bud so far.
I thought I lost my brugmansia this year so ordered a couple from Karchesky, they are doing beautifully and just y'd in the past few weeks, I'm not holding my breath tho. On the bright side, I kept watering the dead one and was finally rewarded with growth! The original wood is dead but it sprouted a new plant for me, no Y but at least I have what was my first brug!
I got a little carried away with my brugs last fall. Instead of just dragging them into the basement I had to buy one of those fancy garden wagons I had been lusting for but had no excuse. And no I did not buy the $54 one. I shot the works on the $96 job. Nothings too good for Mr. Oscar right? Then when no early bloom I wondered for just a moment if I was really worth it and of course the answer was yes. Any way I am going to have 2 brugs to give away because I won't be able to care for them next year. Long vacation. Steve in Baltimore County.
Dgs9r, I'm not Karyn but will answer your question. Size doesn't matter! The stem needs to form a 'y' and the blooms will come from those branches. They will bloom first year but need lots of sun, lots of water, lots of fertilizer. Keep watching and you will probably see buds soon.
Oscar, I stood there like an idiot this morning counting buds on the largest (most y'd???) Brug, which is a CG. OVER 100 buds, I couldn't believe it. But all at different stages so looks like 3 flushes there and it won't be bloom-city all at once here.
My light pink unnamed is finishing up it's third flush, the white one has continuous blooms most of the summer (it's old and needs repotting), but it's the CGs that I live for. The scent is unbelievable. For the CGs I don't carry over the parent. Just take a bunch of big stem cuttings and stick them in watering cans in the GH for the winter. Even with the biggest pots (3 feet) they get rootbound after one season if left in pots. But that reminds me that root cuttings work too. And those can be left fairly dry in peat moss for the winter in a dark cool place.
My brugs had a sub-par summer, too. The ones in the sun really struggled in the heat (and weren't helped by my not repotting them), but are coming on like gangbusters now that the nights are a bit cooler. The ones in half-shade did better in the dog days, but don't seem to be rebounding as nicely now.
If any one would like a Charles Grimaldi, I have an extra one that's about 3 ft tall and has a good number of buds, free to good home (although I do want to keep the pot it's in). Great plant--just feed and water liberally and it'll bloom till frost.
I'm in Hyattsville, about 2 miles from Univ. of MD. Email is sfmiller AT umd DOT edu .
If we don't have an early frost I should have some great flushes. I've counted well over 50 buds with more developing on several of my brugs and many others have a decent number of buds. It figures that they'd peak just about the same time it's time to take them in for the winter : (
Deepti you can also tell when Y has developed by looking at the base of the leaf. Once a Y has formed the base will be unequal. Normally the wide part of the leaf comes together evenly at the leaf stem. The foliage after a Y is at least a quarter inch lower on one side of the base of the leaf.
Night photo - after all who has time to look at their gardens during the day. Mostly buds at this point...but still a happy thing :)
Mine did very well this year. Many flushes, but they were all pretty mature (3 years or better). Water every day for those in pots and every other one for those in the ground. And fetilize with tree fertilizer sticks and occasional foilage fertilization after a flush. I got a white double and two others and they were rooted hard wood when I got them (expensive)and they are just now beginning to bloom but 3 or 4 at a time, no great big flushes but beautiful blooms. Next year, I'll put everything in the ground, otherwise in this hot and dry weather you kill yourself watering. I love them though, and they'll have flush after flush for the rest of the season.
Beautiful brug gardengranma. I only had a few with big flushes early in the season, most had only a few blooms. I have several loaded with buds almost ready to open and a number of varieties getting their first blooms. I can't wait to see what I end up with from some crosses I did 2 years ago. They usually end up single white but I've had a couple that were colors and/or doubles. I agree it's easier growing them inground but too much trouble to dig up. I haven't had any luck wintering them over in the ground here. I have about 10 in the yard that I'll just take cuttings from and my container brugs will go in the unheated GH or garage. Maybe we'll have a really mild winter. If last Feb hadn't been so damn cold some might have made it.
I don't think they'll overwinter in the ground. I tried planting pots with holes in the sides and some wonderful person planted most of them in the ground at the spring swap. When I dig these up, I'll see how many roots actually grew out the holes. Other's remained in the pots, but were not repotted. That makes them very dry in this heat. Right now I have a beautiful pink flush, even better than Charles Grimaldi. My Herrenhauser Garten had one bud but got dry -- so no luck there yet. We'll see what next year brings. Last year, I only liked my CG (they were the oldest too) and the pink were diappointing. This year the pinks have caught up, even the white ones are doing better. The double has bloomed, but not profusely yet. So we'll see what happens next year. But I am encouraged that with enough water and fertilizer and cool roots they are all fabulous. The ones in the pots in full sun are beginning to do ok, but were awful during the summer. The ones that had 1/2 day or so sun did much better, and I think that was the combinating of a cold spring and a very hot summer plus the drought, as others have mentioned. Sorry that i'll miss the fall swap, I think. Anyway, if anyone wants cuttings now or later, I will have good above the "Y" hardwood cuttings, and they do best.
Mine look just like the photos, flush after flush, they love hot dry days and cool nights. My Charles Grimaldi's are still my favorites, though Dr. Seuss seems to smell good too. I can't wait till frosty pink, Dr. Seuss, and my double pinks and whites get to be about three years old (like the Charles Grimaldi's), they will be heavenly. The pink versi colors did great too, but my wonderful helper planted them (under my directions) too close, and I have a brugmansia forest. Next year, I'll spread then further apart, and all in the ground. They don't mind being dug up and replanted, they are just like Bonsai trees, as long as you fertilize and water, water, water. They are about the only thing that is blooming now, except my roses (they are coming back nicely,) my butterfly bushes, some yellow tall thing, and my blue salvia, plus the usual annuals that reseed. Even the crape myrtles didn't like the hot and dry summer, and that's a first.
I have about 60 brugs and this year was the worst in a long time for flowers. They were very late coming on and many had very few blooms per flush. Even my CG which is usually my most prolific brug didn't bloom until late in the season. The cooler temps have made them happy and they are at peak now but I have an unusually high number of deformed blooms. BTW ywo of my crosses actually produced a very pretty light pink bloom, so much nicer then the white that I often end up with. Cynthia your garden is just beautiful.
My Brug has been blooming for about two weeks I think. It is spectacular! The blooms start out yellow, with a salmon edge, and then the whole bloom opens up and becomes salmony. The size of the blooms and the color is AMAZING! Even my husband, the total non-gardener, was moved to comment on their beauty!
Karyn -- thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I do have some questions. Next year, I'd like to grow it in the ground; I think it would grow quicker, and much larger. Maybe it might take a little less watering too?
Is there any advantage to digging it out of the ground to store it for the winter -- as opposed to taking a cutting and letting the mother plant stay in the ground and take its chances with the cold?
This year it's in a pot. Should I take a cutting for next year, or cut it back and store it in the pot? What's the advantage of one over the other?
When are you all going to take cuttings, or cut back, or dig them up?
Thanks so much!
I'm glad that it finally bloomed for you. They are great plants and so easy to grow. They are much easier to care for inground, at least for me. Not nearly as much watering. I've had to water my potted brugs sometimes 2x/day and the ones inground maybe 2x/wk at the most, even in the drought. I seriously doubt that the roots will survive the winter inground. I've never had any luck even planting them in a protected area and mulching well. What you might want to do is sink the pot inground next spring and lift it in the fall. I seal the bottom drainage holes and cut new holes on the sides of the pot before sinking them. That way you can just slice off the roots that have grown outside the pot with a spade when you lift it in the fall. If you want to make more plants you can cut it back this year or just allow it to go dormant as is. I usually cut my plants back to about 10-12" because of space though I don't cut my doubles back and I keep my variegated brugs growing throughout the winter. I'll probably start cutting my brugs back in about 2 weeks.
If you sink the pot in ground, even with side holes, does the plant get much bigger by season's end than if it was started from a cutting?
Of course, the advantage is that you start the season with a mature plant.
What size pot do you sink in the ground, and then dig back up to store in the garage? Do you have to increase pot size the second year?
How large are the side holes?
Sorry for so many questions, and thanks so much for sharing your experience!
Actually, you don't have to carry the plant over at all. Most of my brugs are from cuttings taken in fall. I just cut the plants down and put cuttings in a watering can or old cat litter pails for the winter with 4 to 6 inches of water. Then dig them into the pots in spring. If you don't have a gh or sun porch to put the watering can in, take root cuttings and put them in a paper bag with slightly damp peat for the winter and store in cool spot (attic or cellar). Then pot them up in spring.
Cynthia and Karyn,
I just found the brug forum and read about the Brugs-in-bucket system. what an amazing forum!
Cynthia, why do you need to put the cuttings in a sunny area? According to the B-o-B method, they don't really need light to go through the winter; they just need to form roots?
thanks again
I find that plants that are two or better yet, three years old, do much better re blooming than brand new plants from cuttings (even if the cuttings are from more mature, woodsy plants.) I also find that I have problems with bugs late in the season if I do the bucket thing. So I repot and haul them in before frost and out again in the spring. I will experiment with cuttings later in the winter, but only after I use a systemic spray and 6 weeks away from putting them again outside. I guess I'll need a really good mask so I don't inhale the spray (this is your all organic gardener except for brugs).
My older brugs do bloom better even though I cut them way back in the fall. I get many more blooms per flush on mature plants but I still get blooms on most that have been grown from cuttings. I get caterpillars eating my brugs this time of year but not early in the season. I don't mind sharing and I remove the foliage from the cuttings before rooting them anyway. I keep cuttings in buckets of water with an air stone all through the winter and pot them in the spring. The reason for planting them in the ground is that I don't have to water them as much. I had to water my container plants sometimes 2x/day during the summer and they are in 30 gallon pots. I'm still having to water them daily. The inground plants got watered once a week at the most even though we haven't had any rain to speak of. Most of the plants that were sunk inground were in 15"-20" pots. I planted a number directly inground this year and am not going to bother digging them up. I'll just take cuttings from the ones I like. I've tried wintering them over inground with a heavy mulch but never had any luck. I'm going to severely prune the roots of all my big brugs before I bring them in. They've outgrown the 30 gallon pots and I can't go any bigger. Supposedly they do well with having more then half their roots cut away. I guess I'll find out soon enough. lol
I thinbk you can cut them back very severly (the roots thatis) and the tops and have a great plant the following year. I tried putting them in pots with holes, and found they did not send that many roots out, and it wasn't worth the trouble. next year they go in the ground with good soil, and lots of fertilizer and water (with good drainage, and with some shade from the afternoon sun. The ones I put into big pots in full sun, do not do as well, it just idn't worth the effort. I think the roots get too hot, and the plant says, no thank you. I just potted most of the up, the rest I'll do on Saturday, then I'll spray them with systemic insecticide (yes, in my greenhouse they do get mites or whatever and the leaves shrivel. Then every six weeks they get a dose of granular systemic, and come spring they go to the front porch and then into the ground. That way I can just put the sprinkler on and don't need to water them twice a day or even every day. I experimented this year with all possibilities, and that looks best to me.

Built-in beds with storage?
I'm slowly trying to finish an upstairs guest room, which will have a full/queen bed, two built-in bunks, a baby crib, and a fainting couch which converts to a twin bed (family heirloom--needs to stay). When finished, the room could accommodate a young family, a group of young adults, or a grandkid's sleepover guests. I recently recessed two small chests of drawers in wall space, and I have plans to add another bank of small drawers, left over from my old kitchen. One of the chests rolls out on casters, to reveal a small under-eaves storage area. There will be two other under-eaves storage areas, probably for things my kids want to store. (Easier for them to crawl around in, lol--I'll store my stuff in full-height closets.) This is the room that has finished bookcases and a folding table on one wall. The full size bed will be in this area:
At this time I have no plans to sell the house, but I'd like to cover all my bases. The house has a master bedroom and bathroom downstairs, but all the other bedrooms are upstairs. In addition to the unfinished guest room, there are three small bedrooms (one with built-in twin bunks), a wide hallway/study area, and a half bath. I will not be adding onto the half bath, nor adding another bath upstairs.
If someone with very young children wanted to buy the house, the guest room could be used as a temporary master bedroom, until the parents felt comfortable moving downstairs to the master BR. Even though there will be plenty of built-in drawer space, the area reserved for the fainting couch/twin bed could be used for a dresser, instead. (Without a mirror--the knee wall is 5'.) I had planned to build the low bunks on one wall, similar to this pic from houzz, but with open storage underneath:
Traditional Kids design by New York Interior Designer Pierce Allen
But then I found a neat idea on a blog, for a fold-up bed that looks like a dresser:
The advantage of the fold-up beds would be more floor space when the beds aren't in use. They would be only about 6" deep when folded against the wall (DIY 4" foam mattresses), so there would be room in front of them for real dressers. They could be easily removed if new owners didn't need the extra beds. OTOH, I had planned to have space under the bunks to store suitcases, shoes, etc. I also had plans to build the bunks in such a way that they could easily be converted to closets, with poles for hanging clothes. Keep in mind that my house is old--there are no walk-in closets, but the downstairs master BR has one wall of full-height closets, added in the early 1980s, and I have 14' of full height closets with shelves, in the play room. Anyone considering buying this house would have to embrace the quirkiness.
So, my question is: If you were buying my house and had a young family, would you consider using the guest room as a temporary master BR? And if you did, which style of built-in bed would your prefer--bunks with potential closet space/less floor space, or folding beds with more floor space, and which could be easily removed?
Here is a pic of the rough space--the built-in bunks (or faux dressers) would be along the 4' knee wall with the blue tarp. The wall with the finished bookcases is opposite the tarp, out of camera range. Thank you very much!
The closest I ever came was when we bought a house with a split master. Dd#1 was two, and the master was on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms were at the other end, separated by living and kitchen. It did make me nervous at first, but dd did fine.
If I were buying your house, I'd still be in the master downstairs with the kids upstairs. I've known a couple of young families who had just that situation and although I never asked, I assume they kept the baby in the downstairs bedroom for awhile and then moved them to an upstairs bedroom when the baby was big enough. I don't know how they addressed the issue of the stairs though.
Actually, if it were me, and I had kids that young, or was planning on having kids, I wouldn't buy a house that had master on bottom and others upstairs.
I like your original plan for the built in bunks with storage underneath. The ability to change it into closets would be a big plus for a buyer.
Thanks, marti, I'm still leaning toward the bunks, too, especially for the extra closet space. I liked the challenge of designing another convertible space, but I also had the idea to make the fronts of the 'dressers' into a chalkboard, a dry-erase board, and/or a magnetic board for displaying kids' art.
When we bought the house our kids were the perfect ages (10, 8, and 4), to be upstairs, and the door to the master BR is only a few steps from the bottom of the stairs. Actually my middle child, now 26, is coveting the guest room for her own. Lol, I'm afraid she would then have no incentive to move out. :[
Here is a modern idea, but takes up the room of one bed and offers room for 3. With your creativity I can see you coming up with a design and looks which are more comfortable, but perhaps the same concept.

Mamagoose,I know your feelings on this. I have gone back and forth so many times in our guest room space. I love the storage under the futon in there and would loose that on a Murphy bead. I do sit or even nap on the futon some times. I leave it as a couch. Just some times I want peace and quiet. I suppose I could go to our room for that too but I tend to go into the guest room. I really love that tiny room.
I really would like to make some sort of built in under our master bed. Right now I keep Christmas things,that I never use any more but want to keep, and pictures and some other things in vintage suitcases under the bed. I can pull them out like drawers and things in them stay clean. so maybe this is my storage bed system.
I know many do not like things under their beds because of the dust that can gather. I think the drawer system eliminates that.
You have so many good ideas I say go with your gut feelings on this one.
Those are cute technicolor. I wonder how high the ceiling is in that room? There are so many cute bunk ideas I see but I bet they need more than my 8'.
OT, but the Pinterest reminded me. There was a story last night on the news about legal troubles for Pinterest users and copyright law. They likened it to Napster and suggest people protect themselves now by deleting anything pinned that they didn't personally photograph. Have any of you heard that?
It's two years later, and my room is finally finished. I'm posting this update in case anyone is searching for ideas for built-in storage for attic rooms. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help--you can send me an email via my Member page.
Here is a link that might be useful: Finished room on GW
Mamagoose, the fold up bed which becomes a dresser is similar to the ones we saw in Ireland in the castle and museum near Shannon.
It is like the shaker pegs up high that they would hang chairs from, or even small chests hung on the wall from the "chair rail" and the wainscoting rail which was even higher up the wall. The shakers did not waste an inch of space. And it was flexible for use in different ways.
I was thinking of the 4 captain's chairs (Windsor wooden) that my DH wants to keep, but which have no place in the house. I'm planning a high wooden board with good pegs spread on it, in my Teahouse, up high above the cement blocks where the wood framing for the end gables and the roofline begins. I'll hang those four chairs up there to preserve them.
Also, if you think about it, a huge table can host a mattress. My former neighbor had a raised captain's bed built with draw curtains and a huge assortment of drawers beneath. Her grandson now has her house, she lives with his parents. Her home thus is staying in the family. The house was a small post WWII construction that my friend bought for her retirement. But it is back to serving a younger generation.
