Made in the USA?
I'm not really up for another round of China bashing, but someone mentioned in the "favorite 3" thread that she managed to incorporate a lot of USA made products in her kitchen reno. I think a lot of us tried/are trying to do that. So to further that effort, could you please list the USA made reno items you used, and whether or not you're happy with them? I'll start:
- Cambria quartz island top
- Paperstone perimeter tops
- Starmark cabinets
- Capital Precision range
I'm generally very satisfied with these products!

Shiloh cabinets-very happy with them
(OT but yes part of my reno
Toastmaster waffle iron & toaster) I had to list these since I only had 1 US made kitchen product...
Here are 3 for me(besides the Cambria listed above)
Waterstone Faucet
Hubbardton Forge lights
Baldwin Brass hardware
Loving all of the above
Brookhaven cabinets - still TBD as I had a problem with one of them and still working out the final resolution.
I think one interesting thing about my kitchen - almost everything came from smaller shops (some family run) and very little from "box" stores.
Kitchen Aid mixers are made in USA, yay!
Also some made-to-measure rollout drawers, made in Arizona.
Hefele maple super Susans.
Aside from the Kitchen Aid which I love of course, the other two products aren't installed yet, so I can't comment on their function or durability. But I was psyched to find made-in-USA products!
- Schoolhouse Electric fixtures
- Chicago Faucets wall-mount faucet
- Horton Brass hinges
- Benjamin Moore paint (I think--this might be Canada, though!)
- Locally-made cabinetry
- I think the pencil tile that we used was American-made, though our subway tile was not
- Lots of reused vintage stuff!
We're happy with all of these things (and especially with the faucet; we had one issue with it a year in and had phenomenal customer service from Chicago Faucets, so would buy from them again in a heartbeat). Sadly we have a newish KitchenAid, so it's mostly made in China...if I'd known about the old ones, I would have hunted one down on eBay!
The parent company of Blum is in Austria, but they have a plant in North Carolina where they make the Tandem, Blumotion, and Metabox lines.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blum slides made in USA
Rangecraft hood
Wolf ovens
Capital Culinarian rangetop
KA fridge and WD
Sharp MW drawer
Local, custom cabs
Rejuvenation knobs
Blum glides
Local windows
Doors (well, one interior door was made only a few miles away in Canada I found out after the fact)
DW was recycled from old kitchen
Kwikset lied about being USA made, mainly Mexican
BM paint if it doesn't turn out to be Canadian
Very happy with my purchases.
Like A2, the huge majority of items came from small, local purveyors with the exception of my RH pulls. I still don't have bs or lighting so I may fall off my path with those items. While I would like to go USA on those items, I'm not sure it's probable given my aesthetic. My banquette will be locally made.
Side note to Mamadadapaige--what was the name of the book you wrote about during your reno about Chinese made items?

Capital Culinarian range.
Custom built cabs.
Waterstone faucets.
KA fridge.
Modernaire hood insert.
American white oak hardwood flooring.
Blissfully happy with all of them!!
Alberene soapstone, only soapstone quarry currently operating in the US. Also used a local cabinet maker and he was great. Local mill for tongue in groove beaded backsplash. Art by some great etsy artists, all in US. Very happy with everything.

Rejuvenation knobs and pulls (and some of their lower end fixtures) are from China, sad to say. (We have a lot of and love their hardware, but I was really bummed about that when it first arrived. We actually returned the wall sconces that came with a "made in China" sticker because I was irked that their website implies that all of their lighting is made domestically. I think our Rejuvenation pendants were made here, though.)
I forgot about our doors; screen door is from California and glass door is from who knows where, but rescued from local salvage yard so I'll count it. :) And we have Blumotion drawer slides, so sounds like those go on the list too!
I was somewhat disappointed that our Kohler sink was made in Mexico rather than the U.S., but since our rationale for wanting US-made was partly preservation of jobs/crafts and partly carbon footprint, that wasn't such a big deal given that we're in California.
Rachiele Sink
Capital Culinarian Range
Indpendent/Prizer Hood
Cambria Quartz CT
Armstrong Premium Lustre Commercial Laminate Flooring
Sharp Microwave Drawer
Insinkerator Garbage Disposal
Vitamix 750 Blender
Custom Cabinets.
So far happy with everything.
Have not used blender yet,as I just got it.
KitchenAid Stand mixers are "designed and assembled" in the USA not "made" in the USA anymore.
IKEA cabinets!!!! The doors are made in many locations, but the AKURUM boxes for the US are made in Danville VA. It makes economic sense for them to do this, because only the US uses non-metric boxes.
And if I had four times the budget, I'd STILL use IKEA cabinets.
Cambria counters
My Kindred sink was made in Canada.
My appliances and tap were European: Austria, Germany, Italy. At least I knew the workers had decent labour conditions and benefits, which was important to us.
Anderson window.
Wow, deeagaux, when I made my list, I had briefly considered whether my Sharp MW drawer had been made in the US. I figured it probably had not been.
I now see that Sharp makes some MWs in Memphis, TN. Do you know if the drawer is one of them, i.e., how do you know the MW drawer is made here?
This is FUN! I had to think about it:
- Kitchenaid Fridge
- Waste King Disposal (bought before the company moved manufacturing to China)
- cabinets by a local Chicago company called Builders Cabinet Supply
- All-Clad cookware
- Marvin window
- Custom sink made in Texas by Handcrafted Metal Inc. (awesome company!)
- Ventahood Hood
- Dexter-Russell knife (great knife, I'd buy more if I needed any more knives)
- Juno Lighting (company is headquartered in Illinois at least)
- A.O. Smith water heater
- Miscellaneous cookware and serveware from Fiestaware, Regalware, and Bennington Potters
- glass bowls by Anchor Hocking, and
- Pyrex of course

wow you guys are physic, I was stressing over main and prep sinks this morning and saw Rachiele for the first time in a post and told DH that might be the one, it's copper and made in USA! Then I see this post. Love it and for the things I'm still obsessing over I'm keeping this handy. Here are mine so far....
Wolf and SubZ
local cabinet maker
Insinkerator (had no idea but so happy!)
Rachiele copper apron front sink
Waterstone faucets
still have lots of decisions to make so there might be more.
Terri - if you are considering a custom sink, please also look at Handcrafted Metal, Inc., which I've mentioned in my post just before yours. They will do anything you want for your sink, with drainboards, hammered fronts (if you choose an apron style), the drain placed whereever you want, whatever size you need, you name it. If you decide on stainless, Handcrafted Metal uses 14 gauge stainless. Rachiele uses 16 gauge which is slightly thinner. I think Handcrafted Metal is a bit less costly than Rachiele.
Since you said you are interested in a copper sink, make sure to check out the copper and hammered copper on the link below.
(I am not affiliated with Handcrafted Metal in any way; I was so impressed by the sink they made for me, and how great they were to work with. Since Rachiele is mentioned on this forum, Handcrafted Metal should be too)
Gorgeous hoods if you're interested
This post was edited by akchicago on Sat, Jan 12, 13 at 19:42
Thank you akchicago for the links. I had them on my list to check out this evening. How long have you been using your sink? Is it holding up as you expected? Do you have any pictures posted? I searched and didn't find any, but I'm not usually really successful with searching lol.
And now tonight I'm second guessing myself, should I do Silgranite instead???? why do I make this harder than it should be :)
I apologize for taking this thread OT, so I will just answer Terri's questions, and then we can get back on topic.
Terri - I have had the sink for 6 years, and it has held up beautifully. Of course, it has the "patina" of stainless steel scratches, but that is the nature of stainless steel. The 14 gauge stainless makes the sink feel solid, and it is very quiet. I also really love that I have the drain offset in the corner in the exact location I specified. Once you have an offset drain, you never want a center drain again. Regarding Silgranit, I have posted before that I would have liked a Silgranit sink, cause I find stainless steel's water spots and dull film annoying. That is the nature of stainless, and has nothing to do with whether the sink is custom-made or not. However, I needed a custom size sink, and could not get that in Silgranit. You mentioned you want an apron-front sink (love them!), but there are no apron-front Silgranit sinks. Also, I worked with Handcrafted Metal, Inc. in Texas all long distance by phone and email, and they were great.
I don't know what book mamadadpaige referenced, but The Year Without Made in China by Sandra Bongioni is anecdotal, but interesting. For example, an American lampmaker in the book said that lamp harps are simply not made in America anymore. The screws in my new wall are made in Mexico --it goes on and on. You can buy American if you make an effort. But it is an effort (one well worth it imo)
We are very happy with the USA products we've incorporated:
- first and foremost- our Bluestar cooktop. Love.
- cabinetry (local cabinetmaker)
- backsplash (Crossville porcelain tile)
And kudos to our neighbors to the north for our Kalia faucet, made in Canada.
I'm not in kitchen remodel mode yet, only research, drooling, and living vicariously; however, Barker Cabinets are made in the USA using Blum hinges and slides, also made in the USA.
This website that I saved from someone else's post lists faucets that are really made in the USA versus those just assembled here. It gives the country of origin for a number of faucets with quality ratings - very helpful info.

Do you put your best seeds on your tradelist?
While my tradelist is hopelessly out of date I put almost everything that I have on it. I read early on in my trading here a post by another Newbie trader, who asked 'Why do I not get responses to my posts?". The answer was enlightening. If you are asking for a special, hard to find, or named variety of seed and all you have on your tradelist is very run of the mill seed then chances are the people who have those seeds will not respond. I took that persons advice to heart and put my best seeds out there and have had great success in trading ever since.
I have had very few people email me out of the blue with wanting seed and I would say that I have some fairly nice seeds on my list (mostly named varieties and commercial seeds)
I don't trade with those folks who don't have tradelists as I see that as an opportunity for someone to scam me. This has happened once or twice, where I have asked for a specific seed such as echinacea 'Vintage Wine' and on growing the seed found out that it was something far different such as gaillardia.
So do you or don't you? Do you trust your traders to be truthful with or without a tradelist? Does it make any difference at all? Wanting to here from you, Les
"Best Seeds" I think is highly opinionated. I do put seeds on my list that I have a lot of and won't mind trading. If I do want to trade something and I have what that person wants and its not on my trade list, I will email the person to work out the trade.
I am more inclined to trade with someone if they have a trade list. I do check the "Rate and Review," before most trades.
I would say my best seeds don't make it to my list for awhile.I believe everyone has their personal stash not listed.Its usually awhile before I add mine to my list.I do use them for seed bonus's and if someone is looking for something I'll use them then to.I do trade with people whom don't list seeds on their page if they offer something I would like.I don't always check the rate/review forum as there are lots of great traders not listed for some reason.Myself I don't have lots of reviews but I have been on GW since sometime in the 90's.Actually theres not many people here if any from when I first started trading on GW...Debbie
i started only putting seeds i grow on my list, because them i can vouch for, the others i can't, as i don't know what certain seeds look like yet, and i have gotten chaff in the mail. so now i only do my seeds. and i use the "trades" as bonuses, if i know it has seeds in it, and it comes from trustworthy traders.
i wish we did have a place on the forum where we could list people we thought were great traders. i know i'd have to add quite a few who i trade with when i'm on a roll!! LOL ***ding ding Idea****
Yes and no. -On the yes side, for trading purposes, I try to collect and list seeds from plants in my garden that I think people are going to really want to trade for, and some of them are quite rare. (Aren't I lucky to live 20 minutes from Annie's Annuals!) My 'secret seeds' are my personal sowing stash, and those come from trading, commercial sources or from limited quantities I've collected from friends' gardens. Those don't go on my trade list until I'm done sowing them.
Most of my trades this year have been either due to me responding to a post or from cold calls. The cold calls have fallen into 2 camps; either folks who are pretty certain they have something I really want or from people who smell funny. (I ignore the latter.)
I've had better trades this year than in previous years where I posted a "looking for post" on the exchange. -The last time I did that, I found the number of responses overwhelming, and I ended up trading for a number of things I didn't really want.
Hi Les,
I often see people looking for unusual seed and have a very nondescript seed list. I don't respond. Not everything needs to be listed, but offer something. I see the same thing on the Plant exchange. People want unusual named plants and offer items like yellow daylilies and purple coneflower for trade, lol.
I have a pretty long trade list of most everything I have. I do have special marked next to a few because I was having trouble with people wanting hard to obtain seed or expensive for their run of the mill seed. I do have things in small quantities that I don't list.
I like to save those items for when it is on someone's wish list(Everyone should make a wish list!) For example, I had a seed that Susanc listed on her wish list, and I didn't have enough for a whole trade, but enough for her to get a plant or two going. With my unusual tomatoes, some I only have one or two trades of so I don't post them. I want them to go to where they are really wanted. I think I have enough odd tomatoes listed that people would get the gist of my sentence to please ask if they are looking for a particular variety.
If someone is brand new, I can understand the no trade list.I try to help them out with it if I can. If they've been around awhile, I find it odd. Though a few traders do have lists that they email, but are not on their page, and they have been good traders.
I've also had great cold call trades, but like Susanc I am cautious of those traders. I find no harm in requesting they send first.
hey Remy!! my prim rose died :'(( i guess i dont know how to take care of it, to wet??
hi Susan!! you know even though the castor beans i got from ya floated they germinated just fine!! ummmm through the winter!! it was crazy!!! then one fateful cold day i forgot to water them and well ya know!! they died!!
BUT guess what?? i have so many things going!! its amazing!! i have no idea wht they are but they are going!! LOL ummmm the sun kinda faded all of my markings. LOL on the winter sowing jugs LOL but i am still a very happy camper!! i do know i'm gonna be asking someone for some canary bird vine seeds!! :'))
No, I don't list everything, as it would make my head spin listing my 'collections'...a lot like Remy's tomatoes. I will however offer up things from my 'personal stash' to those who have it on their wish list, or who are specifically posting for it.
Some things are just 'shared', maybe as 'extras' to other folks who especially appreciate and collect them. Some folks have 'shared' from their stash...say even just 2 of a special morning glory, which thrilled me, but that another member might see as a skimpy worthless trade.
Some might see 6 tomato seeds as a worthless skimpy trade, but to an addicted tomato collector/grower, it would be a great trade, as the member is likely just wanting a plant or 2 and not 20-25 of them.
A seed trade of 10, or 20 very special poppy seeds might be looked upon as 'nothing' to some, but to those of us who love and collect them, we are thrilled to just get a plant or 2 going...thus many future seeds.
In a nutshell, I'll just say I don't list my collections for trading, but will offer them up (likely in small quantities) to other collectors, or folks who have great interest in them.
Example...I shared numerous varieties of Cosmos with a member specifically looking for a variety of them. She was sp pleased.
I recently 'traded' a good many varieties of sweet peas with a member I got addicted to them...hopefully...and so the story goes. It is all about enabling others to become addicts...for our own personal gain. If I can get someone addicted, chances are sometime later they will have something new and special to send me in a trade.
Can anyone tell I have a tomato, poppy, sweet pea, poppy, cosmos addiction?...besides a few others I won't name here.
LOl Sue...if that member you are talking about is me,of course I am addicted! The SP's are a pleasure to grow and so very easy to get along with! :)
I do things similar to Sue and a couple others,the special seeds stay in my stash until I find someone that really wants them. I agree with Sue,a small amount of a seed I am really wanting is more than enough for me,I think once into trading alot of people feel that way.Who needs 50 seeds to get one plant?I figure if I want alot of something,I can do several trades for it or wait out the seed harvest,thats all part of the fun, right?
i put whatever i have extra on my list. im new to the GW n my list is small but that dont mean i dont have seeds, i have lots of seeds not listed. i dont list them cause i dont have enough for a good trade or cause im planting them in my own garden lol if i see someone wants what i dont have listed, ill let them know i have a few.
i had tons of seeds to trade before my dog n cat wars, hubs brought home a stray who went after the cats like crazy. lol she's getting use to them now, thank goodness!!! lol, i collected what i could off the table, floor n every were else. n will re-plant this year. theres also lots of cat hair mixed in them lol another reason not to trade them off, ill have a better list this fall:)
i also have tons of mg seeds but didnt put them on my list after reading the warning of the mg person LOL
i agree with the wish/wants list!! even if you dont have much on you have list a wish/want list is more helpful when tradeing. or sharing when tradeing:)
i wont answer a post that says HAVE such n such make me a offer..... n theres nothing on their list, how are we to know what all they have or dont have or want or dont want?
Well, I have a problem as I cant type for long at a time, so NO not even half of my seeds are on the list..and then I had them all come in all around the same time..so now that I am sowing some..the ones that are left overs I will have my daughter add to my list. If I see someone is posting for something, I will also look at their want list..and offer to make a larger trade, or just offer the seeds I have that are on their list.
I have a hard time keeping up with the list, so If someone has something I am looking for, I ask them to look at my list, and try and add some seeds in the email that I have on their want list.
A few months ago I sent out over 500 packs of seeds..I feel that if I get back just a few seeds of something I REALLY want..it is worth it.
I have had a lot of people tell me they keep a stash of seeds not listed, to use for trades they see they might really want..
I think if I have something, I am always willing to share..and I have always been careful not to ask for a rare group of seeds, and offer real common seeds back..if I know I dont have a good offer, Ill ask if they will accept plant tags, or something I think might be worth the more "rare" seed.
Not so wonderful, lol. They like it on the drier side. You may have killed them with kindness. We will try again on the next trade, ok : )
I've had my dogs do things to my seeds too! I never leave the seeds I'm getting together for a trade out anymore. I've had the dogs knock seeds off the table and chew on seed pkts. It is so embarrassing to have to write an email to someone telling them the dog chewed the seed. I once actually mailed the chewed pkt. as proof with a note, lol. I did send extra seeds to make up for it, and the trader was happy thankfully.
I think when people have a difficulty like you do, a little note at the top of the trade page helps. I've seen it before with people different medical conditions. Then people know you do have more than what is listed, and don't think you are a scammer.
I just checked your page, you have lots listed! That is way more than enough. I think we are more talking when people have a list of like 10 nondescript very basic seeds. I remember a trade list of someone that had a small basic list. Then on their wants they actually wrote they wanted named cultivars only. That cracked me up!
You said exactly what I was thinking when I asked the question. "I think we are more talking when people have a list of like 10 nondescript very basic seeds. I remember a trade list of someone that had a small basic list. Then on their wants they actually wrote they wanted named cultivars only. That cracked me up!"
I really do have all my seeds on my list when it is updated but I rarely update it because it is a pain to do so. I don't trade like I would like because I can't post or respond to a post because my list is not updated.
Through the responses here I think that I willupdate my list with Catagory headlines such as;
Heuchera 'several named varieties'
That would allow me to run out of one or two types and still have an up to date list. Thanks ever so much for all of your comments, Les
Hi Les, long time...hope you are doing well.
If I am actively trading, I do post all my seeds that I can although I have to say it is hard sometimes to keep up to date. Also if I only have a few of something I might not list. Right now I'm not actively trading due to having more seeds & plants than a sane person needs LOL and lots of time constraints, so my list is not updated.
I don't like to trade with people who don't have tradelists - I don't respond to those who have no trade list ... you are left open wondering what in the world to offer to them and feeling it won't be good enough.
yes, see i don't see why ya have to have a trade of like 20 seeds, never really understood that, but i was more than willing being a newbie, but now that i sowed a crapload of seeds, and all of them came up, i'm like WHAT?? do ya need 20 seeds for??? ok to trade with right?? LOL we are gonna have sooooo many seeds this year its too pathetic!! i'm so telling the truth, there is absolutely no way i'm gonna list all them babies!! that would take me forever! LOL at least that's my thoughts now.
LOL remy ive had seedpacks my dog chewed on n my cat too lol i got catnip from a swap last year n the cat tore open the envy n got the catnip seed pk. *crazy critters lol* i still have no idea why the dog was chewing on the pks, ive learned to put them up now lol
ive been making seed pks already. the sooner i can get them pk up the safer!
i think ill do the 25 seed pks n maybe some 10 or 5 seed pks , that way i could share or trade with the ones i have few of. i know theres a few seeds i'd be happy getting atleast just 10 or 5 of.

BOSTON – The Red Sox were swept in the day-night doubleheader Sunday at Fenway Park, losing the night cap, 5-4, in the 10th innings when Andrew Miller walked in the go-ahead run with two outs and the bases loaded on four pitches.
Right-hander Allen Webster, making his major league debut, started the second game and was greeted with a first-pitch double off the wall by Alex Gordon, who scored when the next batter, Alcides Escobar, hit an infield single. Shortstop Pedro Ciriaco threw the ball into the stands behind the Red Sox dugout, allowing Gordon to score. But Webster settled down, retiring the next three batters to end the inning.
Webster went six innings, giving up three runs (two earned), on five hits, including two home runs, and a walk with five strikeouts.
Mark Napoli went 3-for-4 with two RBI, and a run scored, falling a triple shy of the cycle for Boston.
The Red Sox got two runs in the second when Napoli led off against Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie with his third home run of the season. Jarrod Saltalamacchia followed with a walk and scored on Mike Carp's one-out double. They added a run in the third when Jacoby Ellsbury doubled and scored on Dustin Pedroia's single.
The Royals tied the score in the fifth on solo home runs by George Kottaras, his first hit of the season, and Alex Gordon, his first home run of the season.
But the Sox went ahead, 4-3, in the bottom of the inning. Napoli's third hit of the game, a single to center, drove in Nava, who walked and took second on Pedroia's single.
With two outs in the eight, Koji Uehara gave up a home run to Billy Butler, tying the score and ending Uehara's streak of scoreless innings a 18 1/3 and 22 appearances.
In the 10th, after striking out pinch-hitter Miguel Tejada, looking, Miller gave up a single to Alex Gordon then walked Alcides Escobar. Billy Butler struck out before Eric Hosmer singled to load the bases. Miller then walked Lorenzo Cain, giving the Royals the eventual game-winning run. Miller (0-1, 6.75 ERA) was charged with the loss.
Kelvin Herrera earned the win for Kansas City, going two scoreless innings giving up a hit and one intentional walk with three strikeouts. Greg Holland struck out the side in the 10th inning to earn his fourth save.
STAR OF THE GAME: Alex Gordon
Gordon went 3-for-5 with three runs scored, an RBI, a double, and his first home run of the sedason, rasiing his average to .342. With one out in the 10th, he singled and eventually scored the winning run.
HONORABLE MENTION: Mike Napoli
Napoli went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI, falling a triple shy of the cycle. It was his first three-hit game since Sept. 30, 2012, while with the Rangers against the Angels. The home run, a game-tying solo shot to lead off the second, was his third of the season. He leads the Sox with 20 RBI.
He has reached base safely in his last 13 games, batting .327, going 17-for-52 with eight doubles, a triple, two home runs, 17 RBI, and four walks in that span. It is tied for the third-longest on-base streak of his career, after two 16-game stretches.
GOAT OF THE GAME: Andrew Miller
Miller faced seven batters in the 10th inning. After striking out pinch-hitter Miguel Tejada, looking, Miller gave up a single to Alex Gordon then walked Alcides Escobar. Billy Butler struck out before Eric Hosmer singled to load the bases. Miller then walked Lorenzo Cain on four pitches, giving the Royals the eventual game-winning run. Miller (0-1, 6.75 ERA) was charged with the loss.
Miller's four-pitch walk to Lorenzo Cain with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th allowed what proved to be the game-winnign run to score.
The Sox were 3-for-14 with runners in scoring postion. They left nine runners on base.
"Got to be more aggressive in the strike zone. I'm not doing my job. I felt way better tonight than the other night. I felt good tonight. My stuff is there. Generally I was ahead of guys except for those two hitters. I walked a guy on four pitches. I have to work on it. I didn't execute and didn't do my job."
--Andrew Miller

Beaumont/Port Arthur
As part of its ongoing commitment to support education, The Beaumont Foundation recently selected 16 teachers from an impressive collection of nominations submitted by schools throughout Southeast Texas for the Wayne A. Reaud Excellence in Education Award. Each award recipient was honored at an awards gala and received a crystal obelisk, a portrait and $10,000.
When I was growing up in a lake community in rural Georgia, I was among the minority in my school classroom. Almost everyone I knew had a biological mother and father and maybe a brother or sister or two living in their family home. Mommy had married daddy, and they were all set to live happily every after, many of them in neat, white-framed or brick houses with perfectly matched picket fences and flower gardens.
The fourth annual "Paying It Forward Fishing With Kids" Bass Tournament will be held June 15 from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cassels-Boykin Park on Lake Sam Rayburn. Registration is open until June 13. The entry form, which includes the rules and requirements, is available on The Examiner's website.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's ShareLunker Program has come to an end for the 2013 season. The nearest lake to the Golden Triangle to give up a 13-pound-plus bass during this season's program is Toledo Bend. Feb. 15, Toledo Bend Reservoir gave up a 13.06-pound bass to Louisiana angler Casey Martin, who was fishing a tournament. Martin's fish, now Toyota ShareLunker 543, was 26 inches long and 21 inches in girth.

How to Grow Peaches by the Patio
If you want to cultivate fruit trees in a small yard, you have to think big and grow small.
The main reason gardeners give for not growing fruit trees in their yard is lack of space. Here are some cool tips for growing an orchard in your backyard, even if you don't have much room.
Modern fruit trees are usually grown on vigorous root stalks, so even dwarf and semi-dwarf trees often grow much faster and larger than gardeners expect. "The primary concern for gardeners with smaller lots should be to maintain the size of the tree for easier maintenance and earlier harvest," says fruit-growing expert Ed Laivo.
So just how big should a backyard fruit tree be? Laivo answers by putting his hands above his head. "If the tree is taller than your hands," he says, "it's too big. If it's the same height, it's just right." To really size up a tree, though, you have to look at its framework. "The trunk of the tree begins here," Laivo explains. "And the primary scaffolding of the tree is the primary limb that comes off of the trunk." Laivo recommends keeping the trunk knee-high. The reason for this is simple: the trunk houses the primary limbs, which house the secondary limbs, which bear fruit on most trees. The lower the limbs, the easier it is to pick the fruit. A smaller tree equals a smaller yield, and if you're feeding a family rather than an army, the yield produced should be ample. A 3- or4-foot tree such as the Santa Rosa plum will produce 150 to 300 pieces of fruit.
Cutting established trees down to size requires some pretty major pruning over several years. If you are unsure of the procedure, contact your local nursery or cooperative extension agent. If you're planting new fruit trees, why not try high-density planting? Planting several trees close together provides a bigger variety, extended season and easier maintenance.
High-density planting offers many benefits - that is, if the trees are kept small. Never allow any variety to dominate at one time; all trees have to grow at the same rate. If one tree is growing faster than the others, cut it back. By pruning now, the tree will have more secondary limbs next year as well as a bushier shape. If you plant bare-root trees, Laivo suggests cutting them off knee-high for low branching, which also creates stronger trees that mature earlier than tall trees.
Laivo also recommends high-density mulching. He layers wood-chip mulch several inches high around peach trees planted four to a large hole. The mulch nearly covers the entire trunk, which allows for less frequent irrigation because the mulch holds the moisture in the soil. "In this case, having the mulch right up against the tree doesn't matter because air penetration to the crown is just fine," Laivo says. A nice deep layer of mulch keeps the roots cool.
Remember that most fruit trees need at least eight hours of sunlight a day to develop sweet fruit, but adequate moisture is also important. If you cut back on the amount of water toward the end of the growing season, it stresses the tree, which increases the sugar content in the fruit.

Wisconsin Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53208 13 Tattler March, 2006 MDL 2006 in Milwaukee is just around the corner... Did you know that the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin and Tripoli Shrine is planning a Masonic Day Light event on April 29 at the West Allis Masonic Center at 7515 W National Avenue in West Allis? Has your Lodge started planning how to take advantage of it and bring new members in? Many of our older brethren seeing MDL events the last two years said it was some of the finest degree work they had seen. Don't let your Lodge miss out on the opportunity this year! Here's the highlights of the event: • "Masonic Day-Light 2006" is designed to identify men of quality who share our common values and through education and encouragement unveil the beauty of Freemasonry to them. • Masonic Day-Light 2006 will be co-hosted by the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin and each Shrine Temple (Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Madison), and will allow each candidate to experience the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason Degrees, the first steps in his life's journey in Freemasonry. • Working in conjunction with the Shrine Temples, the candidate will also have the option of con- tinuing his journey in Freemasonry by taking the first step in becoming a Shrine Mason on the same date. • April 22, 2006, is the absolute cut-off for candidates. There will be no walk-ins allowed on the day of the event on April 29. • All lodges must perform the standard petition, interview and ballot process as per the Masonic Code, although dispensation has been granted for special meetings for reading and balloting, as well as minimum time gaps. • A $15 fee for each candidate due from the host lodge to cover food expenses, which may or may not be passed on to the candidate and accompanying MDL registration form (with Mentor's name) are to be sent to Tripoli Shrine. • Unlike previous MDL events, Grand Lodge has determined that there will be no candidate packet for the lodge to pay for. Bibles and Leathern aprons should be presented to the new Master Masons in their home lodges at a later date. • Degree Ritual Coordinators will be asking many of you to take part in the presentation of the degrees, as well as contacting Lodges to arrange the qualifying of degree team members. • Tripoli Shrine will host a celebration at Tripoli Shrine afterwards for those new Master Masons and Shrine Masons. Get with your Lodge leaders today and start planning for MDL 2006! Call Tripoli Shrine at (414) 933-4700 with questions; your questions will be forwarded and answered.

And every night of each show they'll perform together onstage for a 30-minute Led Zeppelin tribute to close out each show.
The mighty Van Halen are getting back into action after Eddie Van Halen was sidelined by emergency surgery last year. According to front man David Lee Roth, the powerhouse rock group will perform a long string of dates in Europe toward the end of the year.
Bad Company has added nine tour stops to this year's previously announced co-headlining dates with Lynyrd Skynyrd. The 22 shows in the U.S. and Canada will round out the summer portion of their 40th Anniversary Tour.
In perhaps an attempt to teach the hipsters a thing or two about classic American songwriting, John Fogerty will perform at this year's SXSW. The concert will take place at the ACL Moody Theatre in Austin, Texas on Saturday, March 16.
A poster on Alice Cooper's official website seems to indicate the singer will be touring with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson this year. Details for two dates have even slipped out since fans and media noticed the artwork for a tour called the Masters of Madness: Shock Therapy Tour.
Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company are both celebrating 40 years in 2013, and they've teamed up to take a co-headling tour across America. The 40 Tour will begin on June 20 in Auburn, Wash. and travel east before wrapping up on July 27 in Bethel, N.Y.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have just announced the dates for their 2013 summer tour, and now Petty is discussing some of the group's plans for both those live performances and an upcoming album they plan to release later this year.

We have stayed at the Brighton Suites many times. WE go as a family and the rooms are just big enough. The pullout was comfortable, the room was clean. It rained one day and we were able to get a movie at the front desk.(the selection was pretty good, too). We like the complimentary Beach towels. They have beach chairs, which are small, and umbrellas, too.
Unfortunately the front desk service is inconsistent at best. Some days they put out fresh iced tea and cookies, in the afternoon, but not at a certain time, or even every day. this place is not cheap, but it is convenient and good for a beach stay. They have updated the bathrooms, but not much else.

Taking a serious view of several Keralites being arrested in terror-related cases, the Kerala government plans to form a dedicated anti-terror investigation squad in the police.
The squad would be imparted specialised training and would act in co-ordination with various investigating agencies, Governor R.S. Gavai said in his policy address to the State Assembly on Wednesday.
The formation of a dedicated anti-terrorist wing in the state police is significant since several Keralite youths have been arrested in the last few years in terrorism-related cases, including T. Nazeer, now in custody of Bangalore police.
With coastal security an area of special concern, the address noted that eight more coastal police stations would be set up soon across Kerala.
The State would actively co-operate with the National Investigation Agency while maintaining its commitment to the federal structure of the polity.

I 20/59 Scheduled to Reopen Saturday
By Alabama Public Radio
Birmingham, AL – The newly repaired Interstate 20/59 bridge in Birmingham is expected to open Saturday, almost a month ahead of schedule. Contractors The Morris Group and Brasfield and Gorrie expect to finish work Friday. That's 28 days ahead of their deadline and one day ahead of a record set in 2002 when they built a shorter, similar bridge on I-65. The contractors will split an incentive bonus of at least $1.3 million. Governor Riley is expected to officially open the roadway to traffic at 10 a.m. Saturday. Traffic analysts say about 245,000 vehicles travel through the state's busiest interchange every day.
