Almost 20 years after they made their NHL debut, there is a chance the Burger King jerseys could find their way back on to the ice during a professional hockey game.
Some time in January 2014, the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, will hold a Los Angeles Kings Night and to help honor their parent club, the team will wear jerseys once worn by the 2012 Stanley Cup champions. Check out Option B:
On the Monarchs website, fans can vote for one of the three options and the winning choice will be worn by the team in January. Afterward, the game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off to benefit the Monarchs Care Foundation.
The winner will be announced on Thursday.
You will obviously click that link and vote B because there is no reason why they shouldn't see the light of day once again. The Burger King look has been kept alive thanks to The Royal Half's effort to organize an appreciation night during a Kings game each season, but to see them back on the ice in 2013 is something we must come together and make happen.

Robyn Greenspan | September 15, 2004 | Comments
Marketers are optimistic about 2005 budget increases and they areexpecting to spend more on the Web.
An online advertising recovery is underway, according to Millward Brown's Marketing & Media Snapshot: 2004. The new findings echo those of other researchers, such as those in a recent report by JupiterResearch, a division of this site's parent company.
More than half (56 percent) of the marketers Millward Brown surveyed indicated that their total marketing and media budgets increased in 2004 over 2003, and 60 percent expect the upward trend to continue through 2005. Optimism about budgets swelled, with 81 percent of marketers with budgets above $400 million expecting increases, compared to 44 percent of marketers with budgets under $25 million.
But the news gets even better for online marketing. It is expected to be the chief recipient of the budget increases. The report found that total online spend is expected to increase more than allocations for television, magazines, newspaper, radio, outdoor, and direct mail.
More than half (54 percent) of marketers expected to increase spending for online advertising in 2005, with cable television trailing at 36 percent. Spending on direct mail was expected to increase for 34 percent of marketers, followed by network television at 31 percent.
"When we asked which budgets are going up online was the most but TV was next," said Mary Ann Packo, chief client and marketing officer, Millward Brown, NA. "There is something emotional about TV. It keeps people there even when other logical attributes or elements say otherwise, said Packo, referring to one participant's comment that "TV is the only medium that can make you cry."
Packo also noted that television is still the best medium for creative.
Looking forward, the largest portion (28.2 percent) of survey participants named Web advertising as the online marketing application that would grow the most over the next five years. E-mail marketing was a strong second with 19.2 percent expecting the most growth, followed by search (16.3 percent), online promotions (13.9 percent), and affiliate marketing (9.8 percent).
"It feels like things are moving forward again, especially for the traditional marketer," said Packo. "They all saw and rated the different online marketing applications as very effective."
The Internet scored high marks in its capability to acquire and retain customers, offer efficiency, provide measurable ROI, and ability to reach a targeted audience. Online fell slightly behind network and cable TV and magazines for its effectiveness in contributing to brand equity.
"On the media effectiveness portion, I was kind of surprised at the high scores of effectiveness for online. At least 60 percent said online was 'extremely' or 'very effective' – it rated very highly," said Packo.
The study, sponsored by Advertising.com and iMedia, was conducted in two phases, reaching across industries, budgets and marketing tenure. Technology and financial services had the highest representation; 27 percent had budgets above $400 million; and 25 percent of the respondents had 20 or more years experience in marketing.
"We did background research on what had already been done and then we did some in-depth qualitative one-on-one," said Packo, adding that the survey portion included 292 respondents. "The sample wasn't big enough to drill down by industry but the people were qualified marketing decision-makers who needed to be responsible for the marketing media budget for their company and their brand."

Blitz The Ambassador - DIKEMBE!
Artist: Blitz The Ambassador
Producer: Optiks
Album: The Warm Up EP
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 5 votes )
After unleashing his Native Sun LP (featuring the Booth-approved Dear Africa) back in 2011, Blitz the Ambassador took a hiatus from recording to tour Europe and South America with his live band, The Embassy Ensemble. Two years and change later, the Ghanaian-American emcee announces his return from his travels with the release of DIKEMBE!, the lead single off his forthcoming EP. Inspired, of course, by Dikembe Mutombo and his signature finger-wag, this joint finds Blitz channeling the legendary shot-blocker's showmanship and bravado as he laces Optiks' swaggering, rock-infused production with globally-minded braggadocio. Lichthof Ehrenfeld directs the official visuals, shot on location in Rabat, Morocco. The official prelude to the late-2013 arrival of junior full-length Afropolitan Dreams, The Warm Up EP has yet to receive a solid drop date. Keep it locked for further release details, as well as all the latest tunes.

Best Practices: Employee Retention
A Changing Work Force and Workplace
Fundamental changes are taking place in the work force and the workplace that promise to radically alter the way companies relate to their employees. Hiring and retaining good employees have become the chief concerns of nearly every company in every industry. Companies that understand what their employees want and need in the workplace and make a strategic decision to proactively fulfill those needs will become the dominant players in their respective markets. The fierce competition for qualified workers results from a number of workplace trends, including:
- *A robust economy
*Shift in how people view their careers
*Changes in the unspoken "contract" between employer and employee
*Corporate cocooning
*A new generation of workers
*Baby boomers striking out on their own after hitting corporate ceilings
*Changes in social mores
*Life balance
- *Family orientation
*Sense of community
*Quality of life issues
*Flexibility and nonconformity
Five Strategies for Retaining Employees :
Retaining employees and developing a stable work force involves a two-step process -- understanding why employees leave in the first place, and developing and implementing strategies to get them to stay.
Employees leave jobs for five main reasons:
- Poor working conditions
Lack of appreciation
Lack of support
Lack of opportunity for advancement
Inadequate compensation
- *Environmental strategies create and maintain a workplace that attracts, retains and nourishes good people.
*Relationship strategies focus on how you treat your people and how they treat each other.
*Support strategies involve giving people the tools, equipment and information to get the job done.
*Growth strategies deal with personal and professional growth.
*Compensation strategies cover the broad spectrum of total compensation, not just base pay and salary.
Top Tips for Retaining Employees
To retain their employees, companies should implement the following best practices:
- *Hire right to begin with.
*Engage in longer orientations with new employees.
*Live the values.
*Use creative rewards and recognition.
*Create annual personal growth plans for each employee.
*Consider non-compete agreements.
*Recruiter-proof your company.
*Make it easy for people to get their jobs done.
*Do corporate succession planning.
*Conduct exit interviews with employees who resign.
By focusing on key players who truly make or break your business, you can get the most leverage from your employee retention efforts. Retaining key employees requires a five-step process:
- '.Identify key employees and positions.
'.Know what motivates your key employees on an individual level.
'.Provide a deferred compensation plan.
'.Monitor and manage key employee performance.
'.Review key employees annually.
I found that a Jenny asked same question in this forum 1 month ago.
Please use search box at the top of site to find this question.
Apart from that, you also ref more information at: Employee retention books
Until recently, loyalty was the cornerstone of that relationship. Employers promised work security and a steady progress up the hierarchy in return for employees fitting in, accepting lower wages, performing in prescribed ways and sticking around. Longevity was a sign of employer-employee relations; turnover was a sign of dysfunction. None of these assumptions apply today. Organizations can no longer guarantee work and careers, even if they want to. Senior managements paralyzed themselves with an attachment to "success brings success' rather than "success brings failure' and are now forced to break the implied contract with their employees – a contract nurtured by management that the future can be controlled.
Jettisoned employees are finding that their hard won knowledge, skills and capabilities earned while being loyal are no longer valuable in the employment market place.
What kind of a contract can employers and employees make with each other?
The central idea is both simple and powerful: the job or position is a shared situation. Employers and employees face market and financial conditions together, and the longevity of the partnership depends on how well the for-profit or not-for-profit continues to meet the needs of customers and constituencies. Neither employer nor employee has a future obligation to the other. Organizations train people. Employees develop the kind of security they really need – skills, knowledge and capabilities that enhance future employability. The partnership can be dissolved without either party considering the other a traitor.
Let there be light!

WANTED: Possible swap for Denton County
I posted this in the discussion area also!
I have had a few people that were highly interested in the Fort Worth Plant Swap tell me that I should do something like that up here in my neck of the woods.
Not that I would forsake all you Fort Worthers. Heavens to Betsy NO! You guys are my buddies now:-) But I have a few people that are interested in a plant swap that is closer to our local and I thought that other people would be interested in it as well.
I wouldn't mind setting something up for springtime. I would love to hear from anybody that is interested in coming! Chime in and give me your vote if you live in the Denton County area and would be interested in attending.
Sylvia, if I do something like this could I enlist your help? You did a really great job on pulling the Fort Worth swap together and I would probably have some questions for you along the way.
Please drop your comments here!
Sounds wonderful!
Carrie, I do not have a site in mind. If you have a suggestion for me that would be a big help!
My e-mail is rebecca150 at gmail dot com. Please feel free to send me an e-mail and I would be happy to start up a list for future annoucements.
I might be interested in coming. I live in Parker county, but moved from Denton county (and miss my old stomping grounds). I would think Denton would be a good place as it is more central county. North Lakes Park (up by the soccer fields) is a pretty good place to go. They have lots of room and 2 different play grounds (to entertain any kids that come). Another fairly big park would be off Teasley (don't remember the name, but it has big wooden castle looking playground equip)
Hi all!
I have officially survived the Christmas season! My husband and I lost our minds and decided to paint the house before our annual Christmas party, so we have been BUSY.
Carrie, I am still here and I am still wanting to do this! I knew I would have to put any major planning on hold until after the holidays. But I haven't forgotten about it and have been spreading the word.
I need to choose the location and the date. I will be looking into the locations mentioned above.
I'm thinking of a Saturday in April. Sylvia, do you have a date in mind for the Fort Worth plant swap? I don't want any conflicting dates!
Every feel free to chime in with suggestions for dates.
My e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com
If you would please email me with the subject line of plant swap if you are interested in attending. This way I can keep up with how many are attending and also send out e-mails with swap information and updates.
Sylvia, when you get the time, would you let me know what sorts of things you put in the gardeners survival kit? That was the coolest thing! I'd like to make one for a door prize:-)
I hope everyone had a happy holiday!
I'm interested in either swap, MOSTLY to be on the receiving end. My swap-material is 2004 vintage, and I received all that from someone who suggested I check y'all out this year. I have a FEW things that have done well in the past few years volunteering themselves (cantelope and cucumbers mostly) which might be rearing their cute little heads in time to bring to the meet as plantlings. I'm pretty new at all this, so my successes are few and far between.
Here is a link that might be useful: Who Knew?
sorry, I haven't checked here lately.
Any time you want to contact me directly, just email me:
(Many times the gardenweb email system doesn't deliver.)
seems like the Gardener's Survival doo-dah had
hydrogen peroxide
baking soda (for stings)
vinegar for burns & sunburn
soap to scratch under your fingernails & lotion for your hands before you start work
(makes it easier to clean your hands afterwords)
sharpies & plastic tags or maybe popsicle sticks, & clear craft fixative (like spray paint)
ziplock bags
trash bag ties
seems like I got the container at Dollar Tree;
got a bright color that would be easy to see.
(probably not remembering it accurately, definitely not remembering *everything*, but you get the idea)
April 12 looks like the best one.
The Ft Worth Botanic Gardens Spring Calender shows:
April 5 & 6 Spring Festival at the Japanese Gardens
That's an all-day excursion in itself!
April 12 Ft Worth Iris Society show
indoors, stroll around looking at pretty flowers.
April 19 FWBG Annual Spring Plant Sale
Need I say that this involves getting there early, bringing your cart or wagon, & loading your vehicle to the roof?
I'm thinking the 12th:
It's mid-month, so more likely to have nice weather, & the Iris show is a wonderful treat that doesn't involve packing the car with more plants than we have room for (the Iris Society saves that for their autumn sale!
April 12 it is (pending weather & construction in the park!)
Allrighty folks. I'm excited already:-) I'll be attending the Fort Worth Swap on April 12th.
I think Saturday April 26th would be a good date for the Denton Plant Swap. Last frost Date *I Believe* is March 25 for this area. That gives our gardens and plants plenty of time to rub their sleepy eyes and wake up in time for trading. It is also two weeks after the Fort Worth Swap which should be good for anybody planning to attend both. Gives us a weekend of rest in between.
I still have to pick the location. I have been very busy and will be over the next week and a half. I'll have the location picked out before the end of this month.
But for now, mark your calendars and get ready! We'll plan on Saturday April 26 starting at 10:00 am. Promise I'll let you know where :-) LoL
LOL! I'll take restrooms into consideration! :-)
There are a couple that were suggested to me, I'm going to go check them out on Monday (take a look around for space, shelters and the almighty potty thrones) and then call and ask about reservation policies on Tuesday. I've also sent an email to Denton County Master gardeners association to see if they have any really good site suggestions.
Ideally, I want some place really easy to find so I will keep that in mind when I'm checking places out. If I can find it, then anyone can find. I am severely geographically challenged LoL!
Oh, and I'm going to see if DCMGA will send a volunteer to answer plant and gardening q's and bring materials about their projects and events. They do alot of groovy stuff in this area. They also have a speaker's bureau and if we could have one little speech doodad about gardening, then I think we would all enjoy that. Dunno if they'll do it, but it sure didn't kill me to ask!
I'm getting all excited 'bout this! Just need a place!
oh! so Denton's closer! yippee!!!! I can bring tomato starts, veggie seeds, maybe even some veggie starts if i have enough pots/cups/containers, and if ppl are interested i can bring bag bags (hang on doorknob and stuff plastic grocery bags in for recycling). yippee!!!
Hi all. I've always wanted to get to one of the plant swaps, but seems life is always getting in the way. (busy time of year) A swap in Denton would be close by and I would most certainly just HAVE to make it!!
My question is, what exactly is all swapped?? plants, I know, but any other garden stuff?? Are there rules? Any certain Do's or Don'ts?? Any info would be appreciated. I will put this on my calandar and, oh, I"m getting excited already!
I've been thinking I need to write up a little doo-dad about plant swapping. For now, Sylvia (the wonderful gal that coordinates the Fort Worth Swap) already wrote up a fun little post. I'm going to point you over to her swap wisdom to give you a starting point.
The only DO is to do have fun and the only DON'T is don't break the park rules!
I will post some general curtesy guidelines but as far as trades go....Well, that's between two traders. You can definetly bring things other than plants.....You can bring things that aren't strictly garden related....If you think someone else might really like to trade a plant for it, then bring it. If your not sure, then you can alway's make a little post on this thread like "Hey, I have Dog bed, anybody need one?" If someone wants the dog bed, they'll be happy to give you plants in trade.
Definetly put us down on your calendar! Keep checking back here on the exchage pages frequently. It won't be long before people start popping up with "Hey, I noticed my Mum's are spreading like crazy, anybody want some?".
Here is a link that might be useful: Sylvia's words of wisdom 'bout swappin!
That was me Sylvia!!!!
I use coupons and I get free pet food with them. I have dogs, BUT I have to keep them on the same food. I can't switch it around a lot or they get sick to their stomachs.
I got some free carver's treats the other day ;-) I'm saving 'em for ya Sylvia!
See, doesn't have to be plants! LOL
I thank you, Rebecca, & the dogs thank you!
I just talked to my new friend Phyllis (she's the one I met at the Dollar Store when we were both piling our baskets up with the 90%-off summer gardening stuff), & she's excited about the FW Swap-
she's going to try to root some rosemary, & she said she probably can bring some salvias;
both plants are wonderful for full-sun, dryish garden areas.
Alright guys, this sounds like soooo much fun. I'm going to start finding things for this swap. I also know several "green thumbs" from my church in Denton who might possibly find this as exciting as I do!!
Oh, in reading past posts, I see there is a spring plant sale on April 19 at "FWBG". Is that the Ft Worth BOtanical Gardens?? Has anyone ever been to it? Are plants expensive or reasonable at that sale?? I have such a hard time forking over big bucks for my love of gardening... Actually, I'm a real cheapskate........
Hey, Mary, hope to see you & all your green-thumb friends!
The Ft Worth Botanical Gardens (FWBG) plant sales are twice-yearly events, & there are some good deals & some "reg'lar" kinds of prices.
The main thing that attracts me is that the plants are grown right there on the premises, so they're pretty sure to thrive here, & they aren't the typical big-box store plants.
The prevailing advice seems to be to get there early, bring your cart, & grab what you want the first time through, 'cause it won't be there by the time you make your return trip!
Some of the neat things I can recall from previous FWBG sales are white Lady Banks Rose (that my neighbor unfortunately stomped), leatherleaf mahonia, & evergreen wisteria.
They also have had Lily of the Nile, various irises & daylilies, & seems like wood ferns, salvias, & trees, including gingko.
It's a fun thing, definitely worth going to;
just get there early or you'll have to park in Timbuktu!
Hi! me again... just wanted to put out there what i plan on bringing so far. seeds- tons of them- everything i have on my trade list. tomato seedlings (which types are to be determined in about another week or two). hot pepper seedlings- hopefully, if i can get them to germinate. they've been soaking for the past 4 days. maybe some notepads. any one interested in those 2 year pocket calanders? bag bags? and if anyone is interested in lemon grass or loquat seedlings. both of those are at my mommy's house in California, i'll be taking a trip there mid march and if anyone is interested, i'll bring some back and hope i don't kill em before the swap. I myself would love some bulbs, corms, tubers. also looking for plumeria, lemons, orange or tangerine treelings (is that a word?!). would love to give lily of the valley another shot. gingers, tuberose, jasmines (the good smelling kind, not the stinky ones), gardenia's, hibiscus. and i think thats about it for now. lmk if anyone is interested. thanks! jenn
I'd love to have a loquat or two;
I fell in love with a beautiful one that I walked past every day when I lived in Oak Cliff.
The ice storm seemed to have killed it;
it looked like a goner all summer, & it hurt me to look at it.
but it leafed out the following September & kept on a'goin'.
I was smitten.
See if there's something on my list that you'd like;
even if you don't find anything right now, I'll likely have more things to add as things emerge.
I finally got a chance to go check out North Lakes Park here in Denton. It's a nice park but it is very busy and I'm not sure that there will be enough parking. Actually, I'm pretty darn sure there won't be enough parking! The shelter area with the tables and playground, is surrounded by soccer fields! And other various sport complexes. The parking lot yesterday was almost packed. I'm pretty sure if it was that busy on a Sunday late afternoon in February, then it will be crazy on a Saturday morning in April. The last thing I want is everyone wearing themselves out lugging all their plants a half a mile!
So I have to go check out South Lakes Park. My husband will likely have the car all day today. I'm not sure when I'll get to go. Hopefully this park will have adequate parking, shade and a close bathroom! I'll see if I can get a shelter reserved ahead of time too.
Also I haven't heard back from the Denton Master Gardeners. Will try again!
I don't know if this is where carrie is talking about, but there is a state park on 380 heading out towards Mckinney. It is the end of the green belt trail (or beginning I guess, depending on which way you go) and not much in the way of amenities. I think that there are some picnic areas (not sure of the bathrooms though--something to think about I know), but most people just park and head up the trail (or get out of their canoes there) so there should be lots of room for milling about and trading. Plus, if I remember correctly, there were quite a few trees.
I'll look into that if South Lake is a bust, Carrie!
Alison, I think I know what you are talking about. I believe your talking about Ray Roberts State Park. They have a park just off of 380. We drove down there once to check it out when we moved here. I think we were looking for campground areas. We wanted to go walk the trails and have a picnic down there last year but it was flooded out. I don't remember bathrooms though. Of course, my memory isn't all that sharp these days! LOL:-) I know they don't have a playground though....
I'm hoping I have a chance to go for a drive and check some places out today. Keep your fingers crosses for me!
Well, I gotta go get some chores done. Blech! You all will hear from me soon.
Rebecca, it is part of ray roberts state park. There are 3 of them on the green belt. Isle du bois state park itself (there is one above the dam where you have to go through the gates and all the camping and beach etc, and one below the dam where canoers put in), one in aubrey off of fm 428 (or whatever that road that goes past the water park turns into) and then by 380. I don't remember if there were any playgrounds at them. I've been to all of them, but we were riding bikes with kids, so we weren't looking for playgrounds. I don't really remember seeing any.
I don't know where south lakes is. Is that the one on teasley? There is a big park there.
I went there once when oldest was a baby. It seemed nice, but I had a baby and didn't need the playground. I don't remember too much about it. I think it seemed that the kids were having a great time though. I don't remember bathrooms, but I'm sure they're there. It was about 6 years ago that I went.
Hello Ladies, I am new to this site, I would love to offer my help if you are planning a swap, I live in Sanger so Fort Worth is a little far but I can help with Denton's, I just starting with my garden and I would love to learn from experts, let me know how I can help and when the even will be, my personal email firstname.lastname@example.com, Warm Regards, Yasmin
Thanks, I will keep the info, Have you ladies visited Ray Roberts Lake the gateway entrance were I go in, is between Pilot Point and Sanger, living in Sanger makes it close to me, but not sure it might be far for some of you. But I love the area they have two playgrounds one for big kids and one for little kids, several picnic tables, they charge 5.00 per car, but being a community event, I am sure they will help out, I love the area we go to talk on the trails and have several picnics through out the year! Really Love the area! Just thought to put my 2cents in..... Rebecca please let me know how I can help. I can help with food, etc........ Sincerely, Yasmin
Goodness Gracious.
I have no idea what happened to my post.
The date of Saturday April 26 at 10:00 am is firmed up. Also, I checked out South Lakes Park and it is quite suitable. Lots of trees, a bathroom building close by, two covered pavilions and plenty of parking. The playground area is AWESOME and it's entirely fenced in with only one entrance. They also seemed to have an abundance of picnic tables. I would still encourage people to bring tables if they have them, but they did have quite a few.
So if there are no major objections to the location, South Lakes Park it is.
I'll include a link showing a map of where it is at....
Here is a link that might be useful: Location of SouthLakes Park
Ray Roberts is $5 per person over the age of 12. I used to live in Pilot Point and loved that park (I used to babysit the superintendant's kids). Now that I live near Mineral Wells, I realize how lucky I was to have such a great park so close to me. You don't miss something until it's gone :(
South lakes seems like a good place to go.
I'm working on a list. I sort of have one on the fort worth exchange post. I'll have to see what happens with the first exchange and my winter sowing. I was going crazy last night trying to plan some beds when I don't even know what I'll have to plant (not all the seeds I was wanting look like they're going to make it).
Yay! ok, i've finally started my tomato seeds 2/29/08. they are- black cherry, yellow pear, anana's noire, hillbilly, black from tula, aunt ruby's german green, lime green salad, campari, cherokee chocolate and mortgage lifter. I will have 5 of each of those. i will also be bringing pepper plants, provided my family don't kill them while i go out of town in a couple of weeks. so far in the pepper dept. i have- 6-7 yellow mushroom, 2 fish, 2 black pearl, and 2 peter pepper. And hopefully more different types will sprout soon. anyways, if anyone is interested in those, pls give me a heads up to reserve them for you. thanks! see you all soon! jenn
I would love a black pearl pepper plant.
I got one last fall at the ft wth swap but it didn't make it through the winter in the house.
hillbilly, campari tomatoes
I won't have a full list due to the Ft Wth swap but will have plenty to swap with.
If anyone is planning on coming either to the Denton or Ft Wth swap & you have a Vick's plant I sure would like some. I have someone trying to revive me a start
Thanks for bumping Carrie.
We are one month out! Shall we plan on a pot luck? I'm sure we will all get very hungry. I can bring drinks, cutlery and a dish.
In looking at my garden I think I will have a couple each of mint, greggs mistflower, nigella, and coopers iceplant. Those are the ones I am for sure of. I can take white butterfly bush cuttings. Also have lots of seeds.
Yes, I believe the location is South Lakes. Rebecca gave us a map in a previous post. Right now, I think those that are planning to attend should post as soon as possible so we can pre-trade if we want. If you are planning to attend ---- please post soon.
I'm planning on attending - but won't know what I'm bringing until after the Ft Wth swap.
Anyone that isn't going to make it to the ft Wth swap & would like to trade for a name tag look on the WANTED: Ft Worth Swap April 12, Part Deux! I have samples to choose from.
Carrie, I'd guess that a lot of people are absorbed with the FW swap, since it's coming up before this one;
once that's over, I'll bet you'll see a lot more activity on this thread.
Also, remember that the FW swap has been going on for a number of years, building up each year, *and* that we had a great story in the Dallas News...
You might check with the News & see if there's time to get your swap included in the Friday garden section calendar.
but I'm wondering where's Rebecca too.
anybody heard from her?
Hi, I missed my swap in Houston and hoped that I could make it to yours. Unfortunately, I think I have to work the night before, which would make it hard to get there. How long of a drive would it be to Denton?
Does anyone know where I could find a whiskey barrel? I would trade my eye teeth!!!!! Or something of more value. Christy
I'm in but we just moved and I don't have anything to trade yet. I started 4 coral honeysuckle cuttings. Maybe they will be ready by the swap. Of course I will take all your unwanted plants and give them good homes. I could sure use some more natives. Maybe some members of npsot will show up.
I'm here folks. My husband has been having health problems. Landed himself in the hospital with heart problems. Thankfully all the tests so far have shown that he has had no damage or blockages, but we can't figure out why his heart keeps speeding up and beating irregurally. Keep us in your thoughts. It's been a tough and scary few weeks :-(
How did everbody do with the storms? We had no damage in our area, just a lot of rain. I see though that lots of people weren't so lucky.
I hope to see a lot of people at the swap on April 26th at 10:00 at South Lakes. I'm off to check my e-mail. I haven't been checking it much lately so if anybody would like to contact me, the best way would be my phone. 362-9838 are code 469.
Hope everyone is okay from the storms.
oh Rebecca, i'll be praying for you and your hubby. As for the storm, we were lucky not to have sustained any damage at all. Just a sleepless night. Anywho, i do still plan on attending the swap. Unfortunately, my seedlings (tomato and peppers) aren't doing as well as i anticipated. Only a few have developed their true leaves so far. I will bring what i can, but i have to warn everyone, they're pretty small! I don't expect anything in return for them though. I'm just wanting to share.
Sylvia, i do have some loquats that i brought back from my moms house in California. Dug them out the morning i was leaving and soon as i got home i planted them in containers. However, they are not looking so hot. Their leaves are really crispy. I'm not sure how healthy they are, but i will bring them with me. Maybe you'll have some luck with them.
Debbiedo, the black pearl pepper and campari tomato are ok looking, but like i mentioned above, pretty small. I think the Hillbilly are even smaller :-( .
Anyways, like i said, i don't expect anything in exchange for my pitiful little plants, just want to share and meet fellow gardners. See you all soon! oh and i will be bringing a friend. Have a good one all!
Thank you all. We have one more cardiologist appt and one complete physical coming up. So far, they haven't found anything bad.
I'll be bringing plates and cutlery and a couple dishes. If anybody wants to pitch in a covered dish for a potluck that would be really nice.
Thanks to a new friend I have heard of this plant swap. I asked what I could do with about 100 or so bronze ajuga and she told me about this site. Would love to contribute at your denton plant swap if anyone is interested in the ajuga. I may also have some tomatoes, sweet peppers, cilantro, lemon mint, spearmint (they are potted in plastic garden pots and growing although still small) and a few moon flower seeds. I also have lots of the variegated yellow grass and the big green mondo grass (gets the size of pumpkins).
I live in Parker county and went to the Fort Worth swap and still haven't had time to plant a single thing yet. But being the obsessive/compulsive type, I might like to come to the Denton swap too. If it's OK Rebecca, I would like to give you a call and try to get some directions. I don't go up to Denton too often, but after 27 years in the service, I'll go just about anywhere for some free food and free plants. By the 26th, I'll have a lot more things up and blooming than I had for the last swap too. I traded/gave away all the seeds I had left over from last fall, but I have shasta daisies out the wazoo. I also might be able to part with a couple of my roses. Cheryl
Tessa, dessert sounds good.
Evette, I hope your reading this... The e-mail I sent you bounced back and I couldn't get through on the number you called me at. I'll keep trying to get a hold of you again!
Seamommy, please feel free to call. I'm including a link for directions to South Lakes Park. Hopefully that will help.
Here is a link that might be useful: Location of Denton Plant Swap
Hey everyone. I JUST found this site. I am sooo excited. My grandmother use to swap. I would hear her talk about it or would show me plants and tell me they came from a friends cutting. Now I wish I would have paid more attention and asked more questions. I am completely green when it comes to swamp meets. Can someone take a moment and explain it to me? Sorry...
Also, what types of stuff do you swap? I have never done cuttings or anything like that but would love to learn.
I do have some gourd seeds, morning glory seeds and 3 year old lilies that I guess can be divided.
Hey guys! I wasn't going to come to this one - figured the Ft. Worth swap would be enough for me - but what can I say, I'm an addict. I'm a bit cleaned out from the first one, but if anyone's interested in some of this stuff I'll bring it up:
I have lots and LOTS of lirope. Big huge mounds. Any takers?
Sweet violets (wild type)
asian jasmine
algerian ivy
balsam seedlings (they are little)
I might could find some post oak seedlings. There's a great big wild area next to us, undeveloped commercial land, with heeeeuge old post oaks. There are always little seedlings that come up then don't make it because hello, there's no light.
coreopsis (yellow, fringe-type leaves)
I've taken cuttings of double purple rose of sharon and bridal wreath spirea. They haven't rooted yet but I could bring a few if someone's interested in babying them.
As far as things I need ... I always need things for shade because I have so much, and blue, purple or white stuff for brutal full sun. Also looking for cool yard art stuff, like pots, birdhouses, wall hangings and the like. I also need two big columnar evergreens, like junipers or sky pencil hollies - a long shot that anyone would have them, but I won't know until I ask, right?
Does anyone need a big dog crate? We had to find our dog another home recently when she bit my toddler. She was a 35 pound Spaniel mix. The crate's in good condition, solid shell-type thing with a locking heavy duty wire front so it can be used as an airline carrier too. I was going to sell it for $50 or so, but figured I'd put it on here and see if someone had something cool garden-related to trade!
Rebecca, do you like columbine?
GINA OF McKINNEY ! I'm from McKinney also! Can't wait to meet ya! I would love to take some of those lilies off your hands if you have any to spare. I'll have some tomato and hot pepper seedlings to share if you're interested. Will also have lots of different types of veggie seeds if your doing any veg's this year. This will be my very first swap ever, so maybe someone with more experience can answer you about what types of stuff you can swap.
Also folks, i have a few (3) packages of that soil moist stuff. they're those crystal looking thingies that swell up when wet.
have a great evening!
I would be interested in some of your crystal water beads.
Ya know you can also make a tube of fabric, put a few beads in the tube. Sew it up & add ties, soak it in water & tie it around your neck to stay cool in the garden while working in the hot summer. I had one before that I bought & used to wear.
I was planning on coming to this swap, but now I'm not sure. The storms on thursday night (when they say baseball sized hail, they weren't kidding) wiped quite a bit of my stuff out. I don't really know that I have anything left to trade (I have a call to insurance about the roof, and apparently plants and landscaping can be part of a claim). I'm waiting to see how things recover, but I suspect that the stuff I was going to trade is going to be needed as replacements. I lost quite a bit that night, including stuff from the ft worth swap. I am very sad about the whole thing. But, it could have been worse. At least my family is safe and sound.
you might be surprised by how fast and wonderful your landscaping recovers from a hail storm. Several years ago my yard was totally shredded, every single leaf on every plant and tree was totally destroyed. Including all the newly placed bedding plants. I was so crushed it took me days to start the clean up. But with in 2 weeks you'd never know it had happened! The fence and the roof however didn't recover. The roof was replaced, the fence still has 'scars' all over it. :)
Let us know what plants you think need replacing.
Ally, so sorry about the damage. We were spared here in Copper Canyon this go round. I, too, am a little light on plants after the Ft. Worth swap, but will try to get some more plants dug up. I am not really looking for a plant for plant swap --- I still do not have all my last swaps plants in the ground as yet. I am really looking forward to meeting all you happy gardeners, and visiting with the ones I already know.
OMG!!!! I might not be able to make it after all :-(
Arghhhh!!! I have a friend who is in financial trouble and she and her husband need to go to San Antonio for some kind of job thingie ma jiggie and i might need to babysit her kids that weekend. If i bring them, i won't have room to bring the stuff i want to bring! Oh the delima!
Debbiedo, so far i have for you- black pearl pepper, hillbilly tom, campari tom, and a pack of water crystals.
Sylviatex, i have one lonely loquat survivor. Its just barely hanging in there, but it does have one healthy leaf. the rest of the leaves are crunchy.
If i don't get to go to the swap, i might be able to find a proxy. If i can't we'll figure something else out. I know i can mail the crystals but the plants wont make it. will keep updating. :-(
Alley, so sorry to hear about your home and garden. Don't worry about not bringing things to trade, it can't be helped that mother nature decided to play ball in your back yard.
Ginae, you can swap just about anything. As long as the person your swapping with is agreeable, then you are good to go! Feel free to bring those seeds and divided plants.
Melvalena, thanks for volunteering for the ice!
Julie, I do like columbine. I got some last year from my neighbor. It's blooming right now but it was a suprise, it's not the yellow kind that I thought it would be but the cute puff ball kind. I'm hoping it spawns off lotsa little seedlings for the fall.
I'm not looking to be on the receiving end for a lot of stuff. I haven't had time this spring to do very much bed prep and such. But I can't wait to get together with you all. I was thinking of a whole bunch of questions about gardening that I want to ask, I just hope I can remember some of them.
Sigh, mommy brain is mixed blessing.
I have to go for now, the kids are just NOT leaving me alon@!
Pop on over to the head count thread if you definetly plan to attend.
I do not have a cell phone, would someone be willing to volunteer for the position of contact person(for the day of the swap)? Just in case anyone has difficulty finding the location?
469-362-9838(home number)
Here is a link that might be useful: Head Count!
Well, my friend decided to have her kid's birthday party that day. Her son is my son's friend as well, so we have to go. -_- Didn't she think to plan around my schedule?
Ah well - I didn't have much to bring anyway. I hope I get to see you guys before the fall swaps! Especially you, Rebecca! Good luck with the Denton swap Saturday!
Rebecca you mentioned in an earlier post haing butterfly bush clippings. if you have any left could i please get one from you at the swap? i have some things to share if you look at my list and tell me.
Also, does anyone know the best time to dig and seperate Daylilies. it seems this year my day lilly patch is quadrupled in size probably 150 plus. i thought i read to wait until they bloom but not sure. Lynda
Hi Lynda,
I did not get a chance to take clippings this year. All I had were the few wintersown things that survived our windy storms and two kids birthday partys and a couple things that decided to roam and root enough for me to pot. I got a lot of nice plants last year, but they sure do grow at their own sweet pace.
I can still take some clippings, powder 'em and stick 'em in dirt if anybody wants them. Are you wanting them for the butterfly effect? Because I also have a packet or two of butterfly weed seeds.
Bring the kids on with ya. Shoot I stuff plants around my grands if needed & you surely have some trunk space.
How old are the kids?
Does the park have a playground?
I'm sure at least one of the girls will probably go with me - Melody is 11 & Brianna is 8, she will be the one coming for sure & I'm sure she'd help with some little ones.
Are we doing potluck?
Donna is going to bring some butterfly bush with her.
I seperated some of my Stella de'oro & some were putting up blooms. I got some irises that were already blooming & they continued to bloom. If your up to it what types of daylilies do you have? Iam getting into daylilies & right now have yellow Stella de'oro & orange ditch lilies
Mommyfox I'll sure miss ya this time
The park has a really wicked awesome playground. Big, wooden, monstrous, large, fenced in thing. Did I mention it was big?
Potluck it is. I'm bringing egg salad sandwiches and macaroni salad. And Drinks. And all the necessary things like plates, cutlery etc.
I also have some token stuff for a drawing.
Gawsh! Five minutes! I'm on the pc FIVE minutes and my son floods my bathroom.
I'll trade him for a texas sage or dessert willow. He's really cute, he has freckles. Any takers.
Sounds like y'all will have a great swap! I'm really sorry I'll be missing this one too - I had hoped to come but need to take my Greyhound foster dogs to the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas' monthly event at the Orvis in Arlington (the only venue this side of DFW).
Kinky is mad, he wants us to go to the swap, instead he will be left behind!
My list of what I'm bringing:
1. 3 potted rootbeer plants http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/530/
2. some orange ditch daylillies
3. lots and lots of tall red canna rhizomes
4. several rooted brug cuttings-
these are white and pink cherub
Some are unmarked
about 1/2 of them or of a variety I don't know the name,
but Carrie does. :)
They are pink and the blooms are huge.. big enough I can just about put my face into them.
Wow, Thanks everyone. Okay, debbiedo my daylillies are a bright orange like pumpkins and i believe they hae a smattering of "freckles" on the inside. They were here when we bout the house. They are in shade and put out quite a few. I can dig some up for you. carrie a flame acanthus would be really nice. Rebea, I am wanting anything that will draw butterflies and hummingbirds to my yard. Husband wants a kind of lush tropical feel in the back yard so I am trying to accomodate. Not good with names of plants yet, but love all kinds of plants. the more unusual the better so anything you want to share I will take good care of it. I can't wait to meet all of you lovely ladies. Oh and rebecca. i hae a texas sage (small rooted from last summer),only about 4 inches tall or so, I'll bring you. You can keep the cute kid, i already hae 4 cuties myself!!!
Lynda, are you sure you don't wanna make it five cuties? LOL The sage would be wonderful. And I have a plant for you that butterflies like. I also have a packet or two of butterfly weed seeds.
I mentioned on the head count thread that I won't be posting anymore until later tonight. My daughter has a solo piece in her school choir tonight. I'll be back though!
So I just joined the forum today because I had a few questions, and I find you're all getting together about five minutes from me. As it is such short notice I don't have much to bring, but maybe I can interest someone in a few red cherry tomato seedlings (I filled a bed yesterday and have two pots, of five seedlings each, left over) in exchange for an artemisia Powys Castle and some mint. Would that be okay?
I'm sorry you didn't get to make it today.
I'll send you mail
It was a wonderful day, I met new Garden friends & saw some old friends too.

Today the Masai Mara National Reserve announced that an American couple (names withheld to provide anonymity-initials NP and HR) on Safari discovered a new breed of jungle cat. It is a cross between the more common leopard and the lion. It new cat appears to have traits similar to both breeds. It congregates in a "pride" like the lion, but much smaller groups of only 7-8 (the lion prides can exceed 30 members). Yet, like the leopard it hunts in a solitary fashion. The new cat is genetically unable to bear fur or hair, similar to Sphynx breed (scientifically bread for cat lovers allergic to pet hair). The most unique feature of this new cat is that it has traits like a Chameleon, with skin tone changing to blend with its environment. Due to the lack of fur to maintain a stable body temperature the cat seldom ventures from its habitat in the dense vegetation. It is speculated that more open environs would dehydrate the cat and cause substantial burning if subject to the sunlight. Like the Rhinoceros that remains predominantly in water while in the open the new cat says close to areas of sand when in the open. If the heat becomes to intense the new breed buries itself in the sandy for shelter and cooling. As of latest reports, due to the unique traits of this beast, it appears it will officially be named the "Buffoon". Because the cat was discovered by the two prominent Americans the Masai Mara National Reserve Public Relations office is requesting a special occasion to donate two more of these Buffoons to the White House. I'll keep you updated as more news comes in.

Baltimore County Public Schools in Maryland will cut elementary-school technology-teacher positions and school computer labs in favor of moving technology into the classrooms with laptops and tablets embedded in instruction. The district also will create professional-development positions to train teachers to integrate technology. "We want all teachers to become fluent users in the technology as part of their instruction instead of students [going] to a computer lab once a week," Assistant Superintendent Billy Burke said.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the differences in game performance between winning and losing European teams, with special emphasis on a comparative analysis of shooting situations. The sample of games comprised 1111 scenes (losing team scenes: 559, winning team scenes: 552) played between the European women's national team and the data were processed using Fisher's exact test and the Mann-Whitney U test. The main results were as follows: 1) Total attack efficiency and shot efficiency were significantly lower for the losing teams, but there was no difference in the occurrence rate of technical faults. 2) The occurrence rate of fast breaks and shot efficiency in organized attacks were significantly lower for losing teams compared to winning teams. 3) The occurrence rate and efficiency of 6-m shots were significantly lower for losing teams compared to winning teams. 4) The efficiency for in-contact shots was significantly lower for losing teams compared to winning teams.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between perceptions of self-efficacy and collective efficacy at the family/community level and mental health status among the families of Special Olympics athletes. The study participants were 96 parents of people with intellectual disabilities. Volunteer coaches in the sports program distributed the questionnaires to parents (who had provided consent) either during the program or after the program ended. The survey results showed that the fathers' perceived efficacies at the family level were significantly higher than the mothers'. For the fathers, self-efficacy and collective efficacy at the community level was significantly related to current mental health status. In comparison, perceptions for all four efficacies (especially collective efficacy at the community level) were significantly related to mental health among the mothers. In conclusion, it may be important to enhance the sense of self-efficacy and collective efficacy of Special Olympics families towards their community related to improve their mental health. Furthermore, development of a Special Olympics sports program that considers the mental health of the family is recommended.

When infielders field a ground ball, decreasing the interval from catching to releasing the ball (release time) increases the probability of outing a batter or runner. The present study examines the relationship between lower extremity kinematics and release time. Right-handed fourteen infielders caught a ground ball that was rolled towards them from a distance of 5 m and then they threw the ball as quickly as possible towards a net located 20 m in front. The interval between the catch to the left-foot lift-off (foot off phase), and the stride-foot contacting the ground after the step motion (stride phase) significantly correlated with release time. We assessed relationships between these phases and lower extremity movement. The angular variation of the joints of the right lower extremity from the catch to the right foot lift off significantly correlated with the foot off phase. Forward mid-hip and left foot variation significantly correlated with the stride phase. Velocity data did not significantly correlate with these phases, indicating that the size, rather than the speed of the fielding motion has a greater effect on release time.

Purpose: The present study determined the effects of the timing of carbohydrate gel ingestion before exercise on metabolic responses and exercise performance during prolonged exercise. Methods: Seven male triathletes completed 4 different trials in a randomized order. Subjects ingested placebo immediately before the exercise (P0), or carbohydrate gel (180 kcal) immediately before exercise (C0), 45 min before exercise (C45) or 120 min before exercise (C120). Time-course changes in metabolic, hormone and subjective fatigue during 80 min of exercise (80-60% of maximal oxygen uptake) were compared among 4 trials. A 40 s maximal pedaling test was conducted immediately after 80 min of exercise. Results: Serum insulin concentrations immediately before exercise were significantly higher in the C45 trial than in the other trials (P<0.05). Blood glucose concentrations were significantly lower in the C45 trial than in the P0 and the C0 trials during the initial part of the exercise (P<0.05). During exercise, the C0 trial showed highest glucose concentration (P<0.05 vs. the other trials). The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) at 40-80 min during the exercise was significantly lower in the C0 and C120 trials than in the P0 trial (P<0.05), with no significant difference between the P0 and C45 trials. Power output during 40 s of maximal pedaling was not significantly different among the trials. Conclusions: Carbohydrate ingestion immediately before prolonged exercise resulted in higher glucose concentrations and lower subjective fatigue, especially during the last 40 min of the exercise period. However, peak and average power output during 40 s maximal pedaling immediately after the 80 min of exercise did not differ significantly among the trials.

This prospective cohort study examined the associations of shoulder dislocations, instability or rotator cuff injuries in collegiate rugby union players with potential risk factors recognized in preseason medical screening examinations. The study subjects were 69 elite rugby players from one university rugby club. Basic demographics, injury experience and current physical findings were assessed, and shoulder injuries sustained during two playing seasons were recorded. Risk factors for shoulder injuries were determined using a logistic regression model. Fifteen players sustained shoulder injuries during the two seasons. A history of injury (OR, 6.56; 95%CI, 2.04-20.98; p=0.00), a positive result in the load and shift (LAS) test (OR, 2.55; 95%CI, 0.92-7.06; p=0.07) and the internal/external rotational (IR/ER) muscle strength ratio (OR, 1.39; 95%CI, 1.08-1.77; p=0.00) were associated with shoulder injuries. A history of injury, a positive LAS test result, and the IR/ER muscle strength ratio are important risk factors for injury in collegiate rugby players.

We investigated the influence of cycling cadence (60, 80 and 100 rpm) on the gross efficiency (GE), net efficiency (NE), work efficiency (WE) and apparent efficiency (AE) with different cycle exercise work rates standardized by ventilatory threshold (VT). Firstly, the participants (6 male young adults) performed 3 ramp exercise tests to determine ventilatory threshold (VO2@VT) and AE at each cycling cadence. They then carried out 9 steady state tests (the combination of each work rate (50%VO2@VT, 75%VO2@VT and 100%VO2@VT) and cycling cadence). There were no significant differences among the cycling speeds in AE during the ramp exercise. The oxygen uptake values during unloaded cycling exercise significantly increased related to the increments of cycling cadence (p<0.01). In all steady work rates, GE, NE and WE were decreased associated with the increase of cycling cadence (p<0.05). In all cycling cadence, each efficiency was heightened related to the magnitude of work rate below VT (p<0.05). These results rearranged in terms of relative value to VT would provide significant basis for light exercise treatment like in active recovery.

This paper inquires into the possibility to connect athletes from the sense of empathy that athletes could have for each other. For this purpose, the potentiality of empathy has been interpreted from the notion of 'pure experience' which Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945) developed. Empathy is considered as a bodily and interactive communication between the self and the other, and means we are to assume an event has occurred on the other (object) as well as on the self (subject). But this framework to understand empathy formally as the relation between subject and object seems to have some methodological limitations. Nishida attempts to overcome this theoretical difficulty in western thought by introducing 'pure experience' into the issue of identifying subject with object. According to Nishida, while a person remains within his/her individual experience, he/she would be still a subject in relation to an object, i.e. he/she cannot transcend the limitation of western dualism. But we can recognize the potentiality of perceiving the other at the physical level, i.e. empathy, according to Nishida's notion of 'pure experience' as transcendental conception. In this paper individual athletics and interpersonal athletics have been set as examples. For example, a Judoka is required to react to the opponent's attack as swiftly as possible. In that moment he/she could perceive the opponent's state at the corporeal level regardless of his/her (moral) consciousness. We could find the possibility of understanding others and solidarity in sport by inquiring about the role empathy plays in such situations.

The purpose of this study was to uncover the characteristics of zanshin (spirit that remains after striking an opponent) of kendo practitioners. Kendo practitioners and non-kendo practitioners were compared from a unique perspective: the relationship between their eye blink control and the duration of their contingent negative variation (CNV). The CNV is related to continuation of expectancy or attention. The participants were divided into kendo and non-kendo groups. The participants performed discriminative stimulus tasks (Go and No-go button press tasks). The following were measured in these tasks: the area of the CNV plotted on a graph between 1800 and 2000 ms after the first light stimulus (S1); duration of the CNV after the second light stimulus (S2) (CNV resolution time); button-press reaction time in response to S2; and the timing of the first eye blink between 1000 and 2000 ms after S2. Data analysis showed no significant differences in reaction time and the CNV area between the two groups. The CNV ended significantly later for the kendo group than for the non-kendo group in the Go task. Also, the kendo group blinked their eyes after S2 significantly later than the non-kendo group. There was therefore a significant positive correlation between the CNV resolution time and the timing of eye blinking. The study uncovered one of the characteristics of zanshin by indicating that the kendo group sustained their attention during internal information processing even after completion of the task.

Discussions on "collective efficacy" (CE; Bandura, 1986; 1997) in recent research have provided important knowledge about group functions. However, suitable CE scale for the field of sports coaching has not yet been developed. The purpose of present study was to develop a more general and versatile measure, by reconstructing the Collective Efficacy Scale for Basketball developed by Ikeda and Uchiyama (2012), and to verify its validity and reliability. Moreover, we investigated relationships among CE and gender, performance level. Factor analysis revealed that the Collective Efficacy Scale for Basketball Offense (CESBO) comprised 21 items within the following subscales of "Tactics", "Characteristics" and "Adjustments", and its construct validity was certified. With a Cronbach's alpha and an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the CESBO was confirmed to have high reliability. Regarding concurrent validity, the Japanese versions of Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) and Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports (CEQS) was used as an external criterion. The results supported our hypotheses (p< .05). Also, the result of a two-tailed unpaired t-test indicated that no difference in CESBO was found between female and male athletes (n. s.). Furthermore, one-way ANOVA showed that higher performance level group had a significantly higher CE score (p< .05). According to analysis of effect size, it was suggested that the influence of CE on the collective performance is differed by competition categories. These findings of present study establish support for usefulness of the CESBO.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 011758 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 1258 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2015 .UPDATE: Issued at 1051 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2015 Made a few tweaks to the forecast this afternoon into the evening hours. MCV over northeast Oklahoma is drifting northeast into Missouri. Showers and a few storms are ongoing over over southwest Missouri at this time, and it looks possible that they could spread into parts of central Missouri by late this afternoon. Most short range guidance does overspread some rain from the southwest into the CWFA, so have bumped up PoPs to chance/slight chance category generally along and south of I-70 in Missouri. Carney && .SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 354 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2015 An upper ridge axis will pass overhead today. At the surface, a boundary which was located near the MO/AR border last night will be drawn northeastward as a warm front during the day in response to a developing low pressure system over the northern plains. The thermal ridge axis will be over central MO and good mixing conditions are forecast. Based on these factors, people in MO/IL can expect another day of unseasonably warm temperatures with afternoon highs reaching the mid to upper 70s. Attention then turns to fire wx. Although winds will be rather breezy at times due to the tightening pressure gradient, increasing dew points throughout the day will probably keep RH values too high to meet Red Flag Warning criteria but low enough to meet criteria for Heightened Fire Danger. This will be mentioned in the Fire Weather Forecast (FWF) and Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO) products. Kanofsky .LONG TERM: (Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 354 AM CDT Wed Apr 1 2015 One area of convection is possible late this afternoon and early tonight near the eastern Ozarks where instability will be a bit higher compared to farther north. Another area of convection is expected to develop tonight near a cold front which will stretch from KS through NEB into IA. As decaying upstream convection moves southeastward, precipitation chances across the LSX CWA will increase overnight, especially after midnight and especially across northeast MO/west central IL. PW values are forecast to be around 0.8-1" tonight, which is near the 75th percentile for April in this part of the country. The cold front will sag southward on Thu, eventually becoming oriented W-E. Ahead of the front, PW values rise to around 1.3" by 18z, which is at +2SD for April. Despite the cloud cover which will inhibit diurnal destabilization, an increasingly moist air mass will be spreading northeastward ahead of the cold front. Any breaks in the clouds will add to the instability. Another round of thunderstorms is expected to develop on Thursday afternoon, especially south of I-70. Some of the storms could be strong to severe based on forecasts of 40-60 kts of 0-6km bulk shear. The shear vectors are forecast to be oriented nearly parallel to the approaching cold front. The cold front`s southward progress on Thu night may be delayed by a new surface low which develops on the tail end of the front in KS in response to an approaching shortwave. The surface low then rides along the boundary on Thu night and Fri, and the cold front finally sinks south of the area late Thu night or early Fri morning. Compared to the late spring warmth of the last few days, Fri`s highs in the 50s and Fri night`s lows in the mid-30s will seem like a blast of winter. Temperatures will begin to rebound slightly over the weekend after a surface high pressure center shifts southeast of the area and low-level flow becomes southwesterly around the back side of the high. The area remains beneath northwest flow aloft this weekend. Another low pressure system could bring precipitation to parts of MO/IL early next week. Kanofsky && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Thursday Afternoon) Issued at 1242 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2015 Area of showers with embedded thunderstorms over southwest Missouri will continue moving northeast this afternoon. Not sure what the coverage will be as it gets into our forecast area, but scattered seems likely. Flight conditions should remain VFR except under heavier rain/thunderstorms. Rain should dissipate slowly through mid to late evening as it continues moving northeast. Still expecting LLWS conditions tonight as the low level jet increases ahead of an approaching cold front. Thunderstorms are expected to develop tonight over Nebraska and move southeast ahead of the front and should push into northeast Missouri between 10-12Z. Storms should be weakening as the move into our area, but will likely still be strong enough to produce MVFR and possibly brief IFR conditions. As the storms continue to move east into eastern Missouri and southwest Illinois they will continue to weaken until there will be little if any thunder left by 14-16Z. Another round of strong storms is expected ahead of the front Thursday afternoon. Specifics for KSTL: Area of showers with embedded thunderstorms over southwest Missouri will continue moving northeast this afternoon. Believe the rain will be dissipating as it moves toward the STL Metro area this evening, but several pieces of guidance do show thunderstorms in the vicinity of the terminal for a short time this evening. Flight conditions should remain VFR unless a thunderstorm hits the terminal directly. Still expecting LLWS conditions tonight as the low level jet increases ahead of an approaching cold front. Thunderstorms are expected to develop tonight over Nebraska and move southeast ahead of the the front. By the time the storms reach Lambert around 14Z they should be weakening. Another round of strong storms is expected ahead of the front Thursday afternoon. Carney && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES: MO...NONE. IL...NONE. && $$ WFO LSX
