[0001] Reference is made to commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 6,606,411, entitled �Method for Automatically Classifying Images into Events� and issued 12 Aug. 2003 in the names of Alexander C. Loui and Eric S. Pavie, and commonly-assigned copending U.S. Ser. No. 10/413,673, entitled �A Method for Automatically Classifying Images into Events� and filed 15 Apr. 2003 in the names of Alexander C. Loui and Eric S. Pavie, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The invention relates generally to the field of image processing having image understanding that automatically classifies pictures by events and the like and, more particularly, to such automatic classification of pictures by block-based analysis which selectively compares blocks of the images with each other.
[0003] Pictorial images are often classified by the particular event, subject or the like for convenience of retrieving, reviewing, and albuming of the images. Typically, this has been achieved by manually segmenting the images, or by the below-described automated method. The automated method includes grouping by color, shape or texture of the images for partitioning the images into groups of similar image characteristics.
[0004] Although the presently known and utilized methods for partitioning images are satisfactory, there are drawbacks. The manual classification is obviously time consuming, and the automated process, although theoretically classifying the images into events, is susceptible to miss-classification due to the inherent inaccuracies involved with classification by color, shape or texture.
[0005] Consequently, a need exists for overcoming the above-described drawbacks. However, in many cases, chronological data such as date and time is not available. The need therefore is to develop an intelligent algorithm to automatically classify and sort images from sets/rolls of pictures into separate events based on image content only. Moreover, such an algorithm should be fully automatic, work on all consumer pictures of different sizes without needing date or time information, and be adaptable to different parameters.
[0006] The present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above. Briefly summarized, according to one aspect of the present invention, the invention resides in a method for obtaining and automatically classifying images into events comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a group of images from a digital source, wherein the images are in chronological order; (b) transferring the group of images to a computer system; said computer system (c) clustering the images into smaller groups based on chronological image similarity of nearby images by computing histograms of the images and comparing histogram intersection values obtained therefrom with one or more thresholds, whereby the clustering based on chronological image similarity is done in at least one stage by comparing each image with its direct neighboring images; and (d) evaluating the clustered images against a final condition related to at least one of a predetermined group maximum for the number of smaller groups and a predetermined maximum number of isolated pictures, whereby the smaller groups are classified as events if the final condition is met.
[0007] These and other aspects, objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood and appreciated from a review of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and appended claims, and by reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0008] The present invention has the advantage of improved classification of images, notwithstanding the lack of both date and time information, by utilizing a block-based comparison that checks for similarity of subject and background in the images.

[0026] In the following description, the present invention will be described in the preferred embodiment as a software program. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the equivalent of such software may also be constructed in hardware.
[0027] Still further, as used herein, computer readable storage medium may comprise, for example; magnetic storage media such as a magnetic disk (such as a floppy disk) or magnetic tape; optical storage media such as an optical disc, optical tape, or machine readable bar code; solid state electronic storage devices such as random access memory (RAM), or read only memory (ROM); or any other physical device or medium employed to store a computer program.
[0028] In addition, the term �event� is defined herein as a significant occurrence or happening as perceived by the subjective intent of the user of the image capture device.
[0029] Before describing the present invention, it facilitates understanding to note that the present invention is preferably utilized on any well-known computer system, such a personal computer. Consequently, the computer system will not be discussed in detail herein. It is also instructive to note that the images are either directly input into the computer system (for example by a digital camera) or digitized before input into the computer system (for example by scanning).
[0030] Referring to now FIG. 1, there is illustrated a flow diagram illustrating an overview of a method for automatically classifying images into events, as shown in the related U.S. Pat. No. 6,606,411 and copending U.S. Ser. No. 10/413,673. Digitized images are input into the computer system where a software program will classify them into distinct categories. The images will first be ranked S10 in chronological order by analyzing the time and date of capture of each image. The date and/or time of capture of each picture may be extracted, for example, from the encoded information on the film strip of the Advanced Photo System (APS) images, or from information available from some digital cameras. The representations of the images will then be placed S20 into one of a plurality of distinct events by a date and time clustering analysis that is described below. Within each event, the contents of the images are analyzed S20 for determining whether images closest in time to an adjacent event should be maintained in the event as defined by the clustering analysis, or the adjacent events merged together. After the images are defined into events, a further sub-classification (grouping) within each event is performed. In this regard, the images within each event will then be analyzed by content S30 for grouping images of similar content together, and then the date and time S30 for further refining the grouping.
[0031] The event segmentation S20 using the date and time information is by a k-means clustering technique, as will be described in detail below, which groups the images into events or segments. A boundary check is then performed on the segments S20 for verifying that the boundary images should actually be grouped into the segment identified by the clustering, as will also be described below.
[0032] These groups of images are then sent to a block-based histogram correlator S30 for analyzing the content. For each event or segment sent to the correlator, a content or subject grouping S30 is performed thereon for further sub-classifying the images by subject within the particular event segment. For example, within one event, several different subjects may appear, and these subject groupings define these particular subjects. The subject grouping is based primarily on image content, which is performed by a block-based histogram correlation technique. This correlation compares portions of two images with each other, as will also be described in detail below. The result of the ranking is the classification of images of each segment into distinct subject groupings. The date and time of all the images within each subject grouping are then compared to check whether any two or more subject grouping can be merged into a single subject grouping S30.
[0033] A refinement and subject re-arrangement analysis S40 will further improve the overall classification and the subject grouping by rearranging certain images within a subject group.
[0034] Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown an exploded block diagram illustrating the date and time clustering technique S20. First, the time interval between adjacent pictures (time difference) is computed S20 a. A histogram of the time differences is then computed S20 b, an example of which is shown in block 10. The abscissa of the histogram is preferably the time in minutes, and the ordinate of the histogram is the number of pictures having the specified time difference. The histogram is then mapped S20 c to a scaled histogram using a time difference scaling function, which is shown in FIG. 3. This mapping is to take the pictures with small time difference and substantially maintain its time difference, and to take pictures with a large time difference and compress their time difference.
[0035] A 2-means clustering is then performed S20 d on the mapped time-difference histogram for separating the mapped histogram 10 into two clusters based on the time difference; the dashed line represents the separation point for the two clusters. For further details of 2-means clustering, Introduction to Statistical Pattern Recognition, 2nd edition by Keinosuke Fukunaga 1990 may be consulted, and therefore, the process of 2-means clustering will not be discussed in detail herein. Referring briefly to FIG. 4, the result of 2-means clustering is the segmentation of the histogram into two portions 10 a and 10 b. Normally, events are separated by large time differences. The 2-means clustering, therefore, is to define where these large time differences actually exist. In this regard, the right portion 10 b of the 2-means clustering output defines the large time differences that correspond to the event boundaries.
[0036] Referring to FIG. 5, there is illustrated an example of boundary checking between events. For two consecutive events i and j, a plurality of block-based, histogram comparisons are made to check if the pictures at the border of one event are different from the pictures at the border of the other event. If the comparison of content is similar, the two segments are merged into one segment. Otherwise, the segments are not merged. Preferably, the comparisons are performed on the three border images of each event (i3, i4, i5 with j1, j2, j3), as illustrated in the drawing. For example, image i5 is compared with image j1 and etc. This block-based histogram comparison technique will be described in detail hereinbelow.
[0037] Referring to FIG. 6, there is illustrated an overview of subject (content) grouping for each segmented event. Within each segmented event i, adjacent pictures are compared (as illustrated by the arrows) with each other using the below-described, block-based histogram technique. For example, the block-based histogram technique may produce five subject groupings (for example groups 1-5) from the one event i, as illustrated in the drawing. The arrangement of the subject grouping is stored for future retrieval during the subject arrangement step s40. In particular, the subject grouping having a single image is stored (for example groups 2, 3, and 5).
[0038] Referring to FIG. 7, after the grouping by content, a time and date ordering is performed on the groupings for merging groups together based on a time and date analysis. A histogram of the time difference between adjacent images in the event is computed, similar to FIG. 4. A predetermined number of the largest time differences (for example boundary a12) are compared with the boundaries (for example boundaries b12, b23, b34, b45) of the subject grouping determined by the block-based analysis. The predetermined number of largest time differences are determined by dividing the total number of images within an event by the average number of picture per group (four is used in the present embodiment). If the boundary of the subject grouping matches the boundary based on the chosen time differences, the subject groupings will not be merged. If there is not a match between the two boundaries, the subject groupings having a boundary not having a matched time difference in the histogram will be merged into a single subject grouping (for example groups b1, bb, b3 merged into resulting group c1).
[0039] Referring to FIG. 8, there is illustrated a diagram of image re-arrangement within each group. The arrangement of the initial subject groupings is retrieved for identifying subject groupings that contain single images (for example the groups with a single image of FIG. 6�groups 2, 3, and 5 that are re-illustrated as groups 2, 3, and 5 in FIG. 8). Any single images from the same subject grouping that are merged as identified by the merged subject grouping (for example, groups c1 and c2 of FIG. 7) are compared with all other images in the merged subject grouping, as illustrated by the arrows. This comparison is based on block-based histogram analysis. If the comparisons are similar, these images will be re-arranged so that the similar images are located adjacent each other, for example groups d1 and d2.
[0040] Further refinement is done by comparing any group that still contains a single image after the above procedure, with all the images in the event. This is to check if these single image groups can be better arranged within the event grouping. This comparison is similar to the subject re-arrangement step of FIG. 8.
[0041] Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, there is illustrated a flowchart of the block-based histogram correlation used in the above analyses. First, a histogram of the entire image of both images is computed S50, a global histogram. A comparison of the two histograms is performed by histogram intersection value S60 illustrated the following equation:
[0042] where R is the histogram of the reference image, C is the histogram of the candidate image, and n is the number of bins in the histogram. If the intersection is under a threshold S65, preferably 0.34, although other thresholds may be used, the images are different. If the threshold is met or exceeded S65, then a block-based histogram correlation will be performed S70. In this regard, each image will be divided into blocks of a given size, preferably 32�32 pixels in the present embodiment. It is instructive to note that those skilled in the art may vary the block size depending on the resolution of the image. For each block, a color histogram is computed. Referring to FIG. 10, if one image is considered a reference image and one image a candidate image, the images are compared in the following way. Each block 20 of the reference image is compared to the corresponding block 30 of the candidate image and to the adjacent blocks 40, e.g., 8 blocks in the present embodiment.
[0043] Referring to FIG. 9A, the block histograms between the reference image and the candidate image are compared using the histogram intersection equation defined above S80. The average intersection value is derived by computing the average of the best intersection values from each of the block comparisons S90. This average intersection value will be compared to a low threshold (preferably 0.355), and a high threshold (preferably 0.557). If the average intersection value is below the low threshold S95, the two images are considered different. If the average intersection value is above the high threshold S96, then the two images are considered similar. If the average intersection value is between these two thresholds, further analysis will be performed as described below (3-segment average intersection map S100).
[0044] Referring to both FIGS. 9B and 11, a 3-segment analysis will be performed to determine if the two images may contain a similar subject. This is performed by first forming a map 60 which contains the average of the two highest intersection values of each of the block comparisons; for example, 9 comparisons were performed in the illustration of FIG. 10, the average of the highest two will be used for map 60. FIG. 11 illustrates, for example, a 9�6 block although it should be understood that the map size depends on the size of the image. This map is divided into three parts: the left portion 70 a, the center portion 70 b, and the right portion 70 c. If the average intersection value of the center portion 70 b is higher than a threshold (preferably 0.38) S105, the two images may contain a very similar subject in the center portion 70 b of the image, and the two images may be considered to be similar by subject. In addition, the comparisons of the histogram will be performed with the reference and candidate images reversed. If the two images are similar both methods should give substantially similar correlation; obviously if they are different, the results will not be similar. The images are then checked S110 to determine if there is a high intersection value in one of the directions, right, left, up, and down.
[0045] Referring to FIGS. 9B and 12, shift detection is used to determine the case when the two images 90 and 100 (of two different sizes in the drawing) have very similar subject that appears in different locations of the image. For example, the main subject may be situated in the center of one image and to the left-hand side of the other image. Such a shift can be determined by recording both the best intersection values of the reference blocks, as well as the coordinates of the corresponding candidate blocks. This is achieved by comparing the intersection values of the blocks in four directions (right, left, up, and down). The entire image will be shifted by one block (as illustrated by the arrows) in one of the directions (right in the drawing) where the best intersection value is the highest. The above analysis and the shift can be repeated S120to check for similarity.
[0046] Turning now to FIG. 13, an alternative method is shown for automatically classifying images into events according to the present invention. The event clustering algorithm used by this alternative method is partly based on the event-clustering algorithm shown in FIG. 1, which uses date and time information. Nevertheless, the two algorithms differ in a number of ways:
[0047] No date or time information is utilized in the algorithm shown in FIG. 13; thus, the output of the event-clustering algorithm without date and time will be close to a �subject grouping� kind of classification. Typically, when date/time information is present, a classification in two levels is possible, i.e., classification into event and sub-event levels. Without date or time information, only one level of classification is feasible; thus, there will be no distinction between events and sub-events.
[0048] Image correlation based on the block-based color histogram technique described in commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 6,351,556 will be used. This is the same image similarity technique as used for the algorithm with date and time shown in FIG. 1.
[0049] The overall method of the algorithm shown in FIG. 13 retains the same architecture as the method shown in FIG. 1�but is simpler. The output of the event-clustering algorithm without date and time will effectively contain one event divided into a number of sub-events, i.e., effectively one level. The date/time clustering and boundary checking functions performed in connection with step S20 of FIG. 1 have been removed because these functions were using date and time information. The group merging step is merged with the subject grouping step. The refinement step S40 has been removed because it is useful only when there is a classification in two levels (events plus sub-events). Finally the subject grouping function is completely changed (the previous function was using date and time information).
[0050]FIG. 13 shows an overview of a method employing an event-clustering algorithm for images without date and time information. The images may be input from a variety of digital sources, including such digital sources as a digital camera, a film scanner for scanning a photographic film, a CD ROM (such as Kodak Picture CD), image files in a user hard disk, and the like. A group of images are input S200 in chronological order to a groups creation step S210, where the images are divided into smaller groups based on image similarity. Classification of the smaller groups is then carried out in a subject grouping step S220. The groups creation step S210 in FIG. 13 is similar to the step S30 used in FIG. 1 for the event-clustering algorithm with date and time information. Chronological comparisons are performed using a block-based histogram algorithm to divide the set of images into smaller groups based on image similarity. (Note that �chronological� as here used merely refers to a consecutive capture sequence, i.e., the �next� image is always later in time than the �previous� image, and not to date and time information.) Consequently, the set will be chronologically segmented into similar image groups. This step could be merged with the next step S220 as will be seen later on, but keeping this step separate allows both algorithms (with and without date and time) to be used in the same system.
[0051]FIG. 14 illustrates a group of images divided into smaller groups according to the group creation step S210 shown in the method of FIG. 13, based on block-based image histograms obtained from the set of images. There are two main image similarity thresholds used in this step, a low threshold and a high threshold. A comparison of the block-based histogram data is performed by calculating a histogram intersection value, as described hereinbefore in connection with FIGS. 9A and 9B. When the histogram intersection value is less than the low threshold (0.34), the pictures are considered to be different and a group separation will occur. When the histogram intersection value is more than the low threshold, the pictures are considered to be similar enough to be in the same group. The high threshold (0.64) is used within the block-based histogram technique at different stages.
[0052] The subject grouping step S220 forms the core of the algorithm, as this is where the classification is actually carried out. The subject grouping step S220 is divided into three parts, as shown in the overall workflow diagram of FIG. 15, namely, a simple direct chronological step S230, a memory of 1 chronological comparison step S240, and a memory of 2 chronological comparison step S250. This workflow diagram shows that at the end of each step S220, S230 and S240 the current classification will be checked against specific final conditions in order to decide if an acceptable clustering has been reached. Two main final conditions have to be satisfied: the classification cannot have a number of groups above a predetermined group maximum, and the maximum number of isolated pictures allowed, i.e., pictures that do not fall within a group (or are in a �group of 1�) is fixed at a predetermined isolated picture maximum. In the preferred embodiment, the classification cannot have a number of groups above the group maximum ((number of pictures)/3), and the maximum number of isolated pictures allowed is (number of pictures)/8.
[0053] The simple direct chronological comparisons step S230 corresponds exactly to the group creation step S210 shown in FIG. 13. This step is nonetheless present in the subject grouping step S220 to accommodate the case where the group creation step S210 has not been performed previously. If the group creation step S210 did not give an acceptable solution, i.e., there were too many of the smaller groups, there are at least two alternatives for improving the classification results. One alternative is to decrease the image similarity threshold values which will result in more similar pictures, i.e., fewer of the smaller groups, but at the cost of the quality of the grouping. A better alternative is to make more comparisons, i.e., not constraining the comparisons to adjacent pictures but including the neighboring pictures as well, since the goal is generally to keep the image similarity thresholds as high as possible.
[0054] The latter alternative has been adopted in the memory of 1 chronological comparisons step S240, which is shown in the workflow diagram of FIG. 15 and graphically illustrated in FIG. 16. In this step S240, each picture is compared to its direct neighbor pictures (right and left) with a low threshold of 0.34 and to its second neighbor pictures, if necessary, with a low threshold of 0.46. The image similarity thresholds are higher when the pictures are not adjacent because there is greater need for extra security since the probabilty of the pictures being in the same group is less than when the pictures are adjacent. When two images are found to be similar they will be grouped together as well as every picture that is between them (i.e., 0 or 1 pictures in this case).
[0055] The memory of 2 chronological comparisons step S250 is similar to the memory of 1 chronological comparisons step S240 except that a jump of two images is now allowed when doing the comparisons instead of a jump of one image only. Each picture will be compared, if necessary, to its two direct adjacent neighbors with a low threshold of 0.34, its second neighbors with a low threshold of 0.46 and its third neighbors (three pictures away) with a low threshold of 0.48. A graphical illustration of the approach of the memory of 2 chronological comparisons step S250 is illustrated in FIG. 17.
[0056] If at the end of the first iteration through the memory of 2 chronological comparisons step S250 in FIG. 15, the classification does not satisfy the final conditions, we are faced with the same problem that we faced previously, i.e., should there be more comparisons between pictures or is it better to decrease the threshold values? Since the probability of finding two similar pictures that are separated by more than two images is very small, it was determined to decrease the image similarity thresholds. More specifically, once it is determined that the memory of 2 chronological comparisons step S250 cannot meet the final conditions, the method loops in a further iteration step S260 until convergence is reached by lowering the thresholds. At each iteration of the memory of 2 chronological comparisons step S250 the thresholds will be changed according to the following equation, where the current threshold value Ti(N) is computed as:
[0057] and Ti is the initial threshold with i the number of pictures between the two images, and N is the Nth iteration of the memory of 2 chronological comparisons step S250. Thus, T0=0.34, T1=0.46 and T2=0.48.
[0058] The value 0.015 is a decrement factor, and it is chosen in a way that it is not too �small�, which would have increased the number of iterations needed to achieve the desire classification, but not too �large� so as to miss the ideal classification. Our experience during the testing of the algorithm led us to this value for the decrement factor; it should be clearly understood that other values may prove workable. The factor (i+1) represents the fact that different rates for decrements are used depending on �how far� the two pictures are from each other. It is more likely that the closer the pictures are the better chance they will be similar. Thus, the thresholds will decrease faster for the comparisons with adjacent pictures than for pictures separated by one or two images. In the preferred embodiment, the number of iterations is limited to N=9, which gives T0(9)=0.205. Usually when the thresholds have to go so low it indicates a problem with the number of isolated pictures. The ideal would be to keep the thresholds as high as possible −0.30 and above, so the classification remains on �good� decisions.
[0059] The invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. However, it will be appreciated that variations and modifications can be effected by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.

Fabrice and his family were there to greet us with hors-d'ouevres and were extremely welcoming even considering that we were late on arrival. They left us with goodies for the start of our stay as well as suggestions for things to see and do with children in the viscinity.
We were a group of 4 adults and 3 children and the house was a perfect size for our needs. The four bedrooms and large home provided enough privacy to all members of the group to keep everyone in good spirits. The house is spread over three levels, with the kitchen on the lower level. Each floor had its own washroom as well. The large backyard (complete with trampoline) and huge selection of kids toys was perfect for the kids in our group ages 3 and 4. They were never bored.
The home is extremely well situated between two transporation lines, the #2 tram and Transilien train L and U. It provided a fantastic base for exploring Paris and the surrounding area. Versailles was about 30 minutes away by train. All the major Paris' attractions were less than 1 hour away by public transporation. We only used public transportation for the duration of our 2.5 week stay.
The centre of Suresnes is a 5 minute walk from the house, where there are restaurants, two grocery stores, pharmacy, etc. Suresnes itself is a lovely quiet suburb, where we felt extremely safe at all times of the day. Even taking public transportation past midnight, we felt at ease.
The Parc du Mont-Valerien is also worth a trek up the hill (about 10-15 minutes) to get lovely views of Paris.
Fabrice et ses amis ont laisse l appartement en bon état :-)
Par ailleurs heure de départ et arrivée ont été suivies comme prévu. Aucun problème donc!
Fabrice and family were lovely guests and we were happy to be able to host them.
Fabrice and his family stayed on our Farm in our Yurt for one night, they left a night early as they were unable to lock the door and were frightened. We would have attended to this problem had we known, they tried to contact us, I am not sure why they were not able to find us as we were here on the farm almost the entire time they were. We have three phone numbers listed in the Yurt in case of any problems and my husband told them as we tell all of our guests please let us know if there are any problems. Oh well. Best wishes to you Fabrice!
Fabrice et sa famille ont été des hôtes très sympathiques. Nous les accueillerons de nouveau avec plaisir!
Very nice family. I had to interrupt their stay with a memorial gathering ok Sunday afternoon and they were extremely accommodating. And understanding.
I would have them back anytime

Genuine people-centred reforms and greater respect for human rights and civil liberties in Malaysia remain an illusion. Instead what we see are publicity stunts, slogans and spin, says Martin Jalleh as he takes us...

Its chief wanted Malaysians to believe that the anti-corruption body is "independent, transparent and professional". Yet, so far, the MACC has failed to convince a highly sceptical public, observes Martin Jalleh.
Martin Jalleh highlights the 'performance' of the police force in recent times and in the process shows the reasons for the failure of the government's professed intention of improving the level of public confidence...
Wong Chin Huat reviews Francis Loh's book 'Old vs New Politics in Malaysia'.
The Attorney General has been reduced to a caricature of absurdity, his double standards evident to many, writes Martin Jalleh.
The concept of justice must be grounded on the basic principles of equality, fairness, and rule of law. Has the Attorney General upheld these principles? Martin Jalleh looks at his record.
The worsening crisis of parliamentary democracy has reduced the Prime Minister's much vaunted promise of real change to sheer hype, writes Martin Jalleh.

Cubs crush four homers against former ace
Soler, Castro, Coghlan and Rizzo go deep in battle with Samardzija
MESA, Ariz. -- Jeff Samardzija got a rude welcome by his former teammates on Friday.
Jorge Soler and Chris Coghlan each belted two-run homers, and Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro added solo shots to power the Cubs to a 6-3 victory over the White Sox and their former teammate at Sloan Park. Samardzija, who struck out nine, was the Cubs' Opening Day starter last year, and he will begin this season for the White Sox.

Greenberg said the Dallas-Fort Worth area is a great one for baseball and he's convinced it will strongly back a winner. It's a big reason why he is working toward finalizing his purchase of the club. "I think it's clear there's a tremendous amount of pent-up enthusiasm for the Rangers that I think is waiting to explode," Greenberg said. "While there may not be a history ...

Great Campsite. Campground is very well maintained and clean. Staff is very friendly. Beach area is very good . This campground is used by allot of boaters as it is a reservoir so some sites are large enough for a big trailer and a boat. Sites are lined up but with distance between them. Roads and trails are all paved. Would definitely go back We camped at Little Bow Provincial Park in a Tent Trailer.Undo

WANTED: Spring 2014 Raleigh Swap
Reposting from John on our fall swap thread:
Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on
Fri, Mar 7, 14 at 14:13
Hey everybody! Hate to hijack on old thread but for some reason I can't start a new post and I can only sometimes respond to other people's posts. Not sure what I did to piss somebody off....
Anyway, the Spring 2014 Raleigh Swap is in the same location as always on Saturday, April 19th (Easter Weekend) from 2 to 4. All the other weekends were booked and more than likely the shelter will be booked before our swap so come prepared.
Hopefully winter will be OVER by then.
Can't wait to see everyone.
Yay! Its seems to want to work today!!!
The Raleigh Spring Swap will be held Saturday, April 19th, 2014 at White Deer Park (Pine Shelter) in Garner. The shelter is reserved from 2pm til 4pm. Swapping will begin around 3 depending on how soon we can get into the shelter (its booked before us).
We have three activities going on at the same time - the general swap, special trades, and the picnic. You are free to join in on any of them. The general swap is done in a modified Round Robin style where I ding a bell and you get to grab a limited number of plants and then stash them in your special hiding spot away from the shelter. After a few rounds all heck breaks loose and we just grab all the left over plants. The special trade swaps are off to the side and are where you exchange plants one-on-one with someone you have arranged a trade with. There will be a Special Trades thread started here on the Carolina Garden Web Exchange subforum to handle all the details. The only rule is that you need to keep your special trades away from the main shelter or else someone may take them during the general swap. The picnic is after the swapping. A Swap Food List thread will also show up where people can announce what they will be bringing. There are a few grocery stores nearby so that items can be picked up on your way to the park if you don't want to cook.
As in the past we have no rules, you are free to haul anything gardening related to the swap and give it away - this includes live plants, seeds and bulbs, cuttings, pottery, tools and equipment. One thing that sets our swap apart from others is that we do not require you to even bring plants to participate. We always have way more plants than people. If you feel guilty taking something for nothing you can always bring food for the potluck picnic.
Here's the town of Garner's web page about the park:
http://www.garnernc.gov/Departments/Parks and Recreation/Parks.aspx?ID=25
An easy way to get there is to take the Beltline to exit #299 and turn South (away from downtown Raleigh). The road you are on is Hammond or Person (it has two names). Stay on this same road as it crosses Hwy 70, by now it has changed names to Timber Drive. Take Timber Drive all the way to Aversboro Street and turn Right (this intersection has a Wallgreens, a CVS and a Lowe's Foods). There is a small city sign showing how to get to White Deer or Lake Benson Park. White Deer Park is on the right side of the road. There is a church on the opposite side of the street. If you see a big wooden sign for Lake Benson you have gone one short block too far.
Once you enter the park take the first turn to the left and drive until you see the big parking lot. I think the parking lot is one way. Our shelter is after the turn and right up against the parking lot. Look for the small sign that says "Pine" up on the eave of the building. There is a map on the park website above.
The parks address is: White Deer Park 2400 Aversboro Street Garner NC 27529
Last fall I divided a bunch of stuff and potted them up and stored them in the greenhouse for the winter - things like bananas, elephant ears, etc. Everything looks almost dead, even though the greenhouse stayed above freezing all winter sooooo if I show up with pots of sad looking plants don't be afraid, I haven't lost my mind, its just been a hard winter.
Sabji - I have enough to bring for the both of us! Don't worry about it - it is more important that people show up regardless of what they have to trade.
I'll still fight tHis year for some of your elephant ears and such....no matter how sad.!
I'm hoping this rain and a little warm weather will bring everything back to life this week so I can start dividing and potting my extras.. Perhaps a little sad looking as well!
By mistake, I've got the Special Trades for the Swap listed under Discussions. I don't know how to move it to the Exchange Page. I will be listing more plants by the end of the week for Special Trades.
Lisianthuslover - I'd like to get 3 of the junipers from you. Please take a look at my Special Trade List.

Lisianthuslover - I'd like to get 3 of the junipers from you. Please take a look at my Special Trade List.
I'm just checking to see, how many people are planning on coming to the swap this year? My neighbor and I are making the drive from Winston-Salem. Usually, by this time, there are plenty of special trades listed. Looking forward to seeing everybody.
I am coming, but don't think I have much to bring. my swap list is not current because I lost a lot of things over the winter. I may bring some daffodils - they won't be the usual yellow ones. And I have lots of the grape hyacinths to share. LOL!
This is a repeat of what I just posted on the regular Carolina page. Sorry!
I have several plants that are running rampant in my yard. (Be forewarned.) Please let me know if you want me to bring any of them:
lemon balm, Melissa officinalis
lambs' ears, Stachys byzantina
Ajuga reptans, both the green type and the one with purple leaves
Chinese chives (garlic chives), Allium tuberosum
butterfly bush, Buddleia davidii
Virginia creeper, Parthenocissus quinquefolia
thornless blackberry
I also have some well-behaved plants:
thyme - name unknown - it stays low and makes a nice mat
Confederate jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides - I have successfully rooted this many times - I will bring cuttings in soil if anyone wants to try - I don't currently have any rooted to bring.
Mahonia - not sure which one - I have some tiny seedlings.
Japanese maple - volunteer seedlings - these are not the very finely cut leaf. The leaves have 5 to 7 lobes and are reddish.
speedwell, Veronica spicata
variegated Aucuba japonica - looks like 'Gold dust' - I don't have any rooted but can bring cuttings in soil. It's easy. Great for deep shade.
purple coneflower, Echinacea purpurea - if they come up in time for me to find and pot them.
Special Trades
1 partridge berry, Mitchella repens
1 Solomon's seal, Polygonatum biflorum
1 Carolina jasmine, Gelsemium sempervirens
looking for:
swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata
little Joe-Pyeweed, Eupatorium 'Little Joe'
coral honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens
or something interesting
OK. Special trades list...
Juniper blue pacific-6
Pink Sheffield chrysanthemum-2
Reddish orange crocosmia-2
Deep purple bearded irises-2
Grand parade bee balm-2
Pink sundrops-2
Native/red with pale yellow columbine-2
Euonymus japonicus aureo marginatus-2
Indoor- lavender African trailing violet-1
Purple butterfly bush-1
Deep purple verbena-3
Deep purple viola(edible)-4
Lamb's ear-1
Coreopsis nana-3
Red hot poker-2
Lorabell- I have 11 empty egg cartons for you. I hope you find something you like out of my list.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the swap on Saturday! I will bring more coral bark japanese maples, red cascade rose and dwarf nandina. Is anyone interested in mint?
I have babied my lovely coleus from the fall swap (thanks CountryGirl!) and dear hubby is happy to have them out of our south-facing bathtub! Would love to get a daphe odora, mexican orange, alstromeria or vegetable seedlings.
As we fill up our available garden space, we are forced to narrow our trades to very specific plants. At this time we are looking for:
Cissus antarctica or Cissus rhombifolia
Cyperus giganteus - Mexican papyrus
Cyrtomium falcatum - Japanese holly fern
Euphorbia 'Black Bird'
Fragaria chiloensis - beach/Chilean strawberry
Heuchera micrantha 'Palace Purple'
Oenanthe javanica - water celery, water parsley
Osmunda regalis - royal fern
Pleioblastus distichus 'Mini' - dwarf bamboo
Polystichum polyblepharum - Japanese tassel fern
Sedum 'Purple Emperor'
While we won't be able to consider open-ended "lookups" from someone's trade list, we would still be interested to consider reliable 'steppable' ground covers for full sun/wet or full sun/dry areas, other than sedums, of which we have a number already.
For exchange, we have limited numbers of the following rooted (6-12 mo.) cuttings, layers, or seedlings:
Colocasia gigantea 'Thai Giant'
Cynara cardunculus - cardoon, wild ornamental form related to the cultivated artichoke
Daphne odora - fragrant flowers in February
Forsythia viridissima var. koreana 'Kumson' - variegated with pale veins, more shade tolerant than the species
Jasminum officinalis 'Frojas' - chartreuse/golden variety, more cold-tolerant than the species, deciduous in Zone 7/8
Ricinus communis 'New Zealand Purple' - rapidly growing, poisonous
Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Madison' - more cold-tolerant than the species
In the absence of suitable trades, we may still bring some of them for the common swap pool, without any guarantees of availability.
We also have a growing seed collection of hardy exotics and houseplants (see trade list on our Member Page).
We will be making more cuttings during the year, including also the following, so it would be helpful to hear about interest in them ahead of the fall swap.
Choisya ternata 'Sundance' - Mexican orange, flowers smell like citrus
Illicium parviflorum 'Florida Sunshine' - slower growing chartreuse variety, very shade tolerant
Laurus nobilis - rated Zone 8a, perennial after Zone 7 frost damage, suitable as a houseplant
Nerium oleander 'Hardy Red' - rated Zone 8a, perennial after Zone 7 frost damage, suitable as a houseplant, poisonous
Rubus pentalobus - ground cover creeping raspberry
Attention Gardeners! The weather is going to flat out suck tomorrow. I doubt I can change the date with the park service soooooo I will be there at the scheduled time but for those of you driving a great distance I would rather not be the reason you are on the road. I will try and get a new date in May, or maybe June just to be safe - maybe winter will be over by then!!!
I will be at the shelter and I will bring some plants but I wasn't hoping to take anything home (famous last words) so if you want to come splash around in the puddles feel free to spend the afternoon in Garner.
Hi folks,
Sorry for not being active on the forum. I will talk about it at the meet. Thanks John!. I am not sure what I will bring as I am still out of sorts. it has been a long cold season and I was too hasty posting on warm weather !!!!
I will be coming. My cuttings did not survive the winter too. I had kept them in the garage ( no greenhouse yet). I am cutting down my veggie garden too this year.
Will post on food in the food thread. I am all excited to see you all again.
I second that, country girl. What wonderful plants were shared, I'm absolutely thrilled and floored by the generosity of those at this exchange. Spent the evening researching the goodies, drawing up plans, etc. 5am I'm up with my leaf cuttings getting my florescent
lights together.....a little rain today is perfect for getting out to gardens! Thanks again John, and happy Easter all.
John - Many thanks for organizing a wonderful swap.
I have been non-stop at reserching and trying to get all of my goodies in the ground today. Still have a bunch to plant.
Thanks to all, for sharing your plants. What wonderful additions, they are to my garden.

"Presumes a damaged childhood"
While this might make a list of recommended books, it would not be among the first on the list.
I believe the content is sound, and based on years of training and experience. I have no doubt that what is presented is accurate and has insight.
I might. The material in this book is somewhat dry. Ms. Hart's voice is sometimes too soothing - I wouldn't recommend this book while driving!
Perhaps, but it was the wrong book for my particular needs.
This book assumes a person has problems with that stem from bad parenting. In listening to it, I found myself being thankful for my parents who were not abusive, inattentive, manipulative, narcissistic, hyper-critical, etc.
If that is your story, then I believe this book to be quite useful (and I wish you a succesful journey from such a dark place). If you have feelings of inadequacy that are not directly related to your relationship with your parents, this is NOT the book for you.

Applied online to the job posting. One week later I received a call with basic questions regarding availability, citizenship status and other similar questions. A week after that I received another call to schedule the interview. It was a two-part behavioral interview with two different managers for each part. A small test was performed to check my understanding of some of the basic functions of the position: GD&T tests with conflicting tolerances (trick question, but very simple).
It was my first interview. I think my answers were relatively good (maybe missing the WOW! factor). It was my first time using the STAR system used by many employers today for the interview process. It could have gone better.Interview Questions

This past March, we received an invitation to attend a Beam Global event in Philadelphia called Spirits Confidential. At this event, we were given the opportunity to sample products from Beam Global's entire portfolio, e.g. Maker's Mark, Laphroiag, Cruzan Rum, Sauza Tequila, Knob Creek, etc..
About a week or so prior to the event, I read a brief review of the Knob Creek Rye on BourbonBlog. Knob Creek and I go back a long way, so when I read about this new Rye whiskey, I knew that I just had to try it. Thankfully, their Rye whiskey was available for tasting at the Spirits Confidential event, so we were lucky enough to get a quick preview at that time. I definitely enjoyed what I tasted, but given the circumstances, i.e. a wide variety of spirits and not a lot of time to truly taste everything, I didn't have the chance to really evaluate it.
A day or two after the event, I sent an email to Beam Global and asked for some samples so that we could review it. After about a month of waiting, a full bottle finally arrived.
Here is a bit more information about the Knob Creek Rye Whiskey from Beam Global: Continue reading

OG from seed! Photos and Questions
chestnutpatrick(7)June 3, 2007
I have included photos of OG grown from seed. I believe the growth has slowed a bit due to warm weather but do you all think that these seedlings need to be potted up? I believe they are deschampsia and they have been planted for about 5 to 6 weeks.
Each cell contains two clumps. Shoud I separate them into individual clumps or plant the entire cell?
Let me know what you think.
PS- Hope my photo postign works.
