Show us your gardens - a photo thread - October 2012
This is a place to post photos, and to discuss, what is in your garden. This is the thread for October 2012. All garden photos are welcome. As we enter the Fall, we expect to see more photos of foliage, berries, and visual interest. If it is a photo taken in your garden, it is fair game to post it here.
Here is the link for theOctober 2011 thread.

The south edge of the yard, where it borders a neighbor's yard, is left mostly to itself except that I try to keep it presentable and pleasing to him. He has a large patch of white wood asters by the road.
I planted some variegated miscanthus, sedums and yucca there over the years, and goldenrod and white wood asters have moved in. They play together nicely.
Blushing Knockout rose is a highlight in the fall, particularly where it abuts the winterberry wall which still has leaves along with the berries.
Rose 'Zepherine Drouhin' is sporadically blooming next to a miscanthus.
and the big old Osmanthus has started to bloom.
I know this is not a contest (is it?) and I'm not trying to out shine anyone, but did anyone else get Jack O'Lantern mushrooms on Oct. 1st? How lucky can a girl get?
Here is a link that might be useful: Missouri Dept. of Conservation - Fungi
Well I don't have anything as cool as Jack O Lantern fungi, but the light was good this morning so I took a few photos.
A shot of the new mixed border garden that I created in the Spring. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Yes, the grasses are blooming their heads off right now. Here's Misacanthus sinensus 'Little Zebra'
This is Misacanthus sinensus 'Variegata'
Cornus sericea 'Silver and Gold'
Not a grass. This is Papyrus from the container I made earlier in the year.
This mum won't die. Third year in my garden.
Eupatorium 'Chocolate' in the white garden
Seedhead from Echinacea 'Sunset'
Pennisetum 'Redhead' collecting the morning dew.
No glow-in-the dark toxic mushrooms here either, Jane. I'd never even heard of them.
Steve: Your new mixed border is off to a fine start - are you going to grow vines up that nice arbor? That Pennisetum 'Redhead' is wonderful; it looks like it has purple wooly bear caterpillars climbing all over it.
Thanks Claire. I'm growing Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Moonlight' and a few clematis on it, but it's going to take some time to fully cover it. In the meantime I use a shade sail. Probably could use another.
wow, Claire, Osmanthus is hardy in our area? I am actually looking for an Osmanthus as HOUSE PLANT, it brings me back to my childhood. never thought it would be hardy in zone 6. Do you know any nursery carry Osmanthus?
Sorry I do not have pictures of my garden but a question - I do not even have a garden - still dealing with my foundation plants. :(
Greendale: Osmanthus heterophyllus is hardy in zone 6 if protected from winter winds. Osmanthus fragrans is probably not. My big osmanthus was planted about fifty years ago by my parents who thought it was a holly. I grew up knowing it as "the holly" so it was a shock when I discovered its true identity. I've since planted several other osmanthus cultivars, Goshiki is a nice variegated one, and they all are doing well although none of the Goshikis have flowered yet.
Mahoney's sometimes has Goshikis, but a surprising and unreliable source is Home Depot in the holiday season. For the last few years I've seen Goshikis at Home Depot in with the holiday holly pots with ambiguous labeling. I suspect that's how my parents got the first one years ago. It was sold as a holly.
The best check is to look at the arrangement of the leaves on the stem. Osmanthus has opposite leaves while hollies are alternate.
You can buy varius osmanthus cultivars online from Forest Farm although they say Osmanthus heterophyllus is zone 7.
I'll post some photos later today.
Osmanthus 'Goshiki' next to the big old O. heterophyllus in bloom. When I planted Goshiki I left plenty of room (I thought) between the two shrubs, but the old one kept spreading. I don't have the heart to prune its branches back - I spent too many years nursing it back to health.
I tried to photograph the shrub overall, but it doesn't photograph well. Small leaves and small flowers don't read well in the big picture, at least in my hands. It doesn't help that the osmanthus is crowded in with the winterberry and other shrubs. I'll keep trying.
Zepherine Drouhin rose continues to bloom sporadically.
I've been busy filling in and extending my bluestone paver path, so that's the most interesting thing in my yard in my eyes. Ornamental grasses and roses line the path in this season.
I've mostly finished the front yard path and I'm giving the body a rest before I start on the side alley.
Claire - those paths are amazing. I'm even more amazed that you have done it by yourself. I'll second Jane - I write checks!
Spent yesterday and a bit of time this morning doing garden clean ups - in preparation for the "hard freeze" predicted for tonight. All these photos were taken before I tore everything out!
Marigolds had taken over the veggie beds. It's been weeks since I've harvested any veggies - but the marigolds continued to outperform the veggies!
After bring dormant for most of July and August, the Gerbera Daisies started a second show througout September and in to October.
Stella D'Oro Daylilly is also putting on an autumn show!
Zinnias and Rudbeckia continue to impress. Both were WS this year.
Tithonia continues to put on a show. I'm disappointed to find out that this is an annual. I transplanted a couple echinaceas that were being crowded out by the tithonia - all to find out that the tithonia won't be in that same planter next year.
I love the pink centers of this Aster
The Blue Rug Junipers are putting out lots of berries.
And lastly - these mushrooms. The day these mushrooms appeared in the garden - as I walked my daughter to the bus stop, I noticed that they had appeared in everyones gardens on our street.
Claire, oh - I love your Osmanthus trees. That old osmanthus must be awesome - 50 years old. Is osmanthus heterophyllus fragrant too? I will to do more research on those cultivars. Thanks for the Home Depor tips too, guess I will visit HD more often looking for opposite leaf "Holly" from now on. :)
Last weekends frost really did a number on my gardens. Pretty much killed off anything flowering. Yet I'm not getting the pretty autumn foliage yet.
I seem to have skipped the pink step of my Hydrangea Paniculata Tardiva. The frost made all the blossoms turn brown.
This gailardia is totally flopping over, but at least it is continuing to bloom! I collected seed heads - so hopefully I will have more of these plants in years to come. This has been blooming since July.
No frost here by the coast yet. The temps hovered near freezing but couldn't make that last commitment.
I have a few house plants still outside setting buds and I covered them with several layers of frost blanket with a few jugs of warm water underneath to keep them warmish. I would have brought them in but the long range forecast showed several more weeks of decent fall temperatures. I'm just hoping the Christmas cacti won't drop all those buds when they finally get into the warm house.
I didn't deadhead my Carefree Beauty rose this summer because I like the hips it puts out. It still flowers late even without deadheading.
Pinus strobus 'Nivea' has lots of pine cones as well as lots of dead pine needles to drop. This is normal for this season. Pine needles are suddenly dropping all over the yard. Oak leaves will come next.
Aster 'Fanny' is just starting to bloom. This is always the last aster in my yard to flower. Note the pine needles on the aster. I love that free mulch.
Still no frost, but the oaks and cherries have finally started dropping their leaves.
Itea 'Henry's Garnet' leaves are turning.
And one of my five Zepherine Drouhin roses has suddenly bloomed. I don't think I've ever had this many ZD blooms on one rose in October, usually there will only be one or two blooms. The other four ZD roses are doing nothing.
Those aren't giant miscanthus plumes towering over the rose. The grass and the rose are about 15 ft apart, but I looked out my kitchen window and saw the rose through the grass so I went out and took the same photo a little closer because I loved the combination.
Sedums have gotten much darker now.
Back from visiting with my new grandson in France, where the flowers in town parks, along the streets and in window boxes are still blooming even with all the rain they've had. This afternoon I checked out my gardens and they desperately need weeding and cutting back. But a few things are hanging on.
Oneothera Siskyou is like a weed. You can't get rid of it.
Gaillaridia 'Oranges & Lemons' hiding underneath a huge grass
My newest Coreopsis, 'Galaxy'--- I hope it comes back!
We planted a beautiful Cinnamon Bark Maple from Broken Arrow Nursery. The red leaves aren't much this first fall, but the peeling bark is beautiful.
Had to say "hello" to Etienne. He looks pretty happy, for a gargoyle, sitting in the middle of Veronica 'Waterperry' and Oneothera 'Fireworks', which both get red leaves in the fall.
Found these two underneath a juniper --- a mushroom and a tiny Hellebore, Pine Knot Strain, which reseeds all over the place. I know, I know --- blurry shot--- but I'm too tired to go out again. Takes days for me to get back to 'normal' after a long plane flight.
Steve, we live about 30 minutes from Broken Arrow. It's a wonderful garden center located deep in the woods in the mountains between Hamden and Cheshire. They Propagate & grow their own stock in fields. I've worked in a well-known CT garden center where much of the stock was purchased, balled & potted, from various wholesalers, but I prefer the quality at Broken Arrow. They also have a great staff; however, being small, their stock sells out quickly.
Etienne acquired his "French" after my daughter, who lives near Paris, and I went to to Notre Dame. The gargoyles there are wonderful, especially those up on the observation balcony that overlooks Paris. Like the ND gargoyles, Etienne has a job --- listening for anyone/thing that might sneak up on us and cause harm.
Molie, welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful time with your daughter and new grandson!
Bon jour to Etienne. Il est tres effrayant et grotesque!
But your maple most definitely is not, lol - il est tres beau! Or would that be belle? And therefore elle? Is a maple masculine or feminine, lol? Either way, it's wonderful! Here - l'arbre est magnifique. I think that is sufficiently gender neutral and will cover all bases, lol. Besides, that is the extent of my high-school French!
I live fairly close to Broken Arrow as well, and usually take a trip this time of year just to see the view from the back greenhouse! I haven't been there in some time, though. Perhaps time for a visit to check out that maple...
I hope this isn't a repeat, but I thought I posted this earlier this morning but I didn't see it, so...here it goes again....
Love all the grasses and the last of the roses.
Pixie Lou, I had the same trouble with Hydrangea blossoms that are already brown. We haven't had a freeze yet, but mine turned brown early when it was really dry.
Claire, great work on the bluestone pathways...big job! Love your evergreen shrubs, I'll have to look for that Osmanthus.
We have only had one night that was as low as 31 degrees and nothing has died back yet. I took these this morning...
Dee, I'll have to ask my daughter about the maple tree! My high-school French is from so long ago that it's hardly any help while I'm there. Ironically, I can understand French much better than I can speak it. Plus, my daughter and son-in-law want their children to be bi-lingual so I speak only English with her.
Enjoy Broken Arrow! As I said, we aren't that far away so that anyone who visits them and wants to stop at our place is more than welcome. We love sharing our gardens and swapping plants/techniques--- plus there's nothing like a west-facing deck at sunset, wine in hand, of course!
Ah, Paris and a new grandbaby - what a lovely way to avoid fall cleanup, Molie! and Etienne is perfect for a garden.
PM2: Your garden is showing all the wonderful colors and textures of fall. Those first two pics in particular are a scene you just can't imagine happening in the spring (or at least I can't). Spring is so orderly and a little sparse - fall is just stuffed with foliage and flowers and contrasting texture. It's hard to believe that a hard freeze will end it and eventually spring will come back.
Thanks to all for the compliments on my bluestone paths. I'm really on the cusp of check-writing too, but I decided to take the chance because I get so much satisfaction out of working with the stones. I'm still not sure whether I'll be able to finish the whole pallet of stones before self-destructing, but so far the body is holding out.
Plan B is leaving artfully placed piles of pavers around the yard and calling them cairns, pretending I always meant to construct cairns rather than paths.
View from a side kitchen window yesterday morning:
The sumac is a volunteer that snuck in under a pokeweed. I planned to remove it, but then it turned this lovely color. I'm not sure now what I'll do with it.
Thanks Claire, I love the Fall almost as much as the Spring. Unfortunately, a lot of my garden looks tired by the Fall due to dry weather that always takes it's toll. This small sun garden is easy to keep going though and I've put a lot of fall plants in. But, I really am almost relieved when the freeze kills off everything and then the snow covers any messes to wait for a fresh start in the spring.
Your garden seems to have a mind of it's own, Claire and I like the way you always manage that. I like the Fall look of that. Pokeweeds and Sumac seem to go well together. Not so sure about the how they look the rest of the season, or whether they are invasive? That is a very vibrant red color!
Moving those stones around is great for the bones. :-) And cheaper than a gym membership. You'll finish it, I'm sure.
I'm late to the party this month, but I'd thought I'd post some pics of my yard anyway.
Claire---your yard is so pretty, beautiful pics once again. Nice work on the path.....how thick are stones and what are the dimensions? what are you setting them in? I have a sad little path that runs across my yard; I used the thinner, irregular slate. It looked pretty after I first laid it, but now it is over run with grass. I need to fix it before I can't do that kind of work anymore.
Steve---I love all those 'frosty' photos from your garden!
Prairiemoon---your fall garden is gorgeous!
Molie----that cinnamon bark maple is so pretty; it makes me wish I hadn't planted a coral bark...maybe I can squeeze one in somewhere.
PixieLou---I like your raised veggie beds. What size are they?
I've still got some stuff going on in my yard.....I am still harvesting vegetables; I can hardly believe it. I've had a few tropicals that I've waiting on to bloom, and they've just started.
I love this little aster, it's fluffier than my other blue ones and the color is a vivid periwinkle:
The morning glories are still putting on a show, but that will end this weekend, I'm sure:
All my sunflowers have died off, except this Lemon Queen:
This butterfly bush started blooming late, so it's still going:
Blue Bedder salvia seems to like the cool, dry weather. It's still blooming it's head off around all the withered zinnias:
Teresa: That's a pretty little aster, do you know its name? It looks like a double version of the single aster 'Fanny' that I have and that's blooming now.
The tumbled bluestone pavers are about 2 inches thick and I'm setting them on a 3 inch bed of coarse sand, so I excavate 5 inches, throw in sand, and set the pavers so they're flush with the ground. For the joints I add sand or sand plus gravel or sand plus little stones from the excavation. The heavy pavers are very stable once they're set, but they are heavy, I repeat, heavy!
The pallet is a collection of different sizes and shapes so you have to work with what you get and fit them together somehow. The first pallet I bought several years ago was mostly irregular pavers of medium size and I expected the same for this new batch. They just had a partial pallet on view so I didn't see the total content, I was mostly looking to see the quality.
I used a different landscape supply company this time (the other one went out of business) and I was surprised that this batch was mostly pavers 12 inch by 18 inch, with a fair share of smaller ones. This made it tricky since I was trying to fill in the earlier path with different shapes.
It's easier where I'm heading off into new territory and don't have to match a different set. If you do use tumbled bluestone you probably should ask to see the actual pallet so you know what you're getting.
Piles of pavers of different sizes and shapes, but all of roughly the same thickness. I've already used most of the 12 inch by 18 inch pavers. The finished path under the piles is made from irregular shaped pavers, some old, some new.
The finished path here is almost all made of the original pavers - they're a different shape and are nicely weathered.
This area in my alley is half done and the stones are all from the new rectangular batch. The ones on the right are set and the ones on the left are laid out waiting for me to get there. It will probably take me several days to finish (did I mention those things are heavy?). This will be a work/storage area.
I put a little landing at the bottom of my granite steps (that's a wet footprint on one paver).
My original path also got overrun with grass. I had tried to set it with pavers alternating with grass; carefully spaced to match my stride. That didn't work - I mostly ignored the spacing and stepped wherever was most convenient. The grass also kept trying to swallow the pavers. This time I'm filling in all of the original grassy spaces and expanding until I run out of stones or my body quits, whichever comes first.
This may be much more information than you wanted, but you did ask.
This is my favorite time of year so I've been drooling over all your photos.
Claire, the path is incredible. What a lot of work but what a payoff you'll have. Nice job. I noticed the sumac this year had incredible color! I like the roses in front of the winterberry. And I'm a huge fan of grasses and you have such a nice batch of them punctuating your pathways.
Steve, your new mixed border already looks so mature. Love that pergola. What is the tree in the right corner with the orange berries? Mountain Ash?
How lucky that cute mum won't die. She's a beauty. Just how tall is 'Redhead'. Looks like a good option for a spot I've been thinking about grasses. Do you have multiple chocolate Joe plants? Or is that only one? Mine don't get all that huge and one tends to flop. Do you have to stake yours at all?
Pixie Lou, those marigolds must be on steroids! Holy cow! I've just recently dived into vegetable gardening. What is the plant in the first picture that the marigold appears to be climbing up?
Molie, does 'Oranges and Lemons' come back each year for you? I've tried it multiple times and it never comes back. I love that one.
PM2, what nice color. You've done a great job packing in a lot of fall plants to extend your flowering season. Looks great! Is that orange mum next to the euphorbia in a pot, or does it come back each year for you? It's gorgeous.
Girlcat, Is that scarlet runner bean? The one I never plant but always "think about" planting each year? That mum is very cute! You have nice calyxes on the Seven Son tree. Mine never really get going all that well. The tree flowers well, but never finishes up with a bang like it should. I was just recently at the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden and coudn't believe their Seven Son flower in their entry garden. It looked like sedum heads all over the tree it was that full. I'll keep hoping for that some day!
I'm late to the party but here are some shots from a couple weeks ago.
Quintessential fall garden, thyme2dig! The last hurrah of the garden before winter sets in.
Is that a beautyberry (Callicarpa) in the third photo from the bottom next to your great stone stairs? It looks like it belongs there - not easy for such a distinctive out-of-the-ordinary shrub.
I've been busy putting the gardens to bed for the year, but finally reaching a point where I can take a breather.
Claire, your bluestone walkway is lovely. Like others I am in awe of your energy and ambition to undertake such an enormous task. I'm totally impressed!
I've been doing battle with pine branches and blackberry brambles to add on to our walking path through our woods, but it pales in comparison to the work of Claire's walkway. I'll have to take some pictures later when it is finished.
thyme2dig, your fall photos of your garden and yard are beautiful. I especially love the view through the white birch trees. This was a pretty autumn, despite the lack of red in the sugar maples (probably due to the lack of a good hard frost to bring them out), at least in my area of Vermont.
Pixielou, I love your photos from earlier in Oct of your vegetable garden with all the marigolds. Also I hope you plant another tithonia in the same planter next year so we can all watch it grow and flourish.
I have nothing to offer. All my flowers are done for the year, and leaves off of the trees. I did take some nice photos of the fall foliage earlier, but they were taken 30 miles or so away from my home and gardens, so I won't post them here.
Claire, yep, that's a beautyberry. Bit of a funny story about that shrub. My MIL gave it to me and I planted it on top of the wall on the right-hand side of the steps. The next season it was sooooo late in the spring and it was deader than a doornail. So I literally grabbed it from the top and ripped it out w/o using a shovel. Poor thing. Then to really rub it in, I threw it over to the other side of the wall to the left-hand side of the steps to get it out of the way since I already had the ninebark to replace it with. After the ninebark was planted, I went over to collect the beautyberry to throw it in the woods. Well, there were broken branches and THEY WERE GREEN! LOL!! Classic learning experience about how late beautyberrys really are to leaf out in the spring! I though about where I was standing and said "well, this is as good a spot as any!" The planting of the beautyberry on that side of the steps was complete luck because of my lack of knowledge of the plant. It was quite serendipitous as I think that side really does work better than the right-hand side would have. It's one of my favorite shrubs.
Pixie Lou, thanks. I had half been wondering if it was an eggplant. I did grow some this year but they didn't get that tall. I did have to stake them a bit when the fruits weighed them down. Next year I will use a cage. That leaf color is really nice. I'll have to find it.
Thyme2dig, I really enjoy the Fall too and having as much color as I can as late as I can. The orange Mum has come back every year for the last four years. It was just a Fall Mum that I planted without a name. It looked the best it's looked this year, because I finally managed to trim it back twice over the early summer. I think that made a big difference.
You have obviously planted with the Fall in mind and it must be fun to see it all maturing so well. Gorgeous colors! Love photo # 4 especially. Are those Birch or Aspen? You have a great view! Photo #7 that Japanese Maple is a gorgeous color too!
Girlcat, I thought I posted in response to your great photos, and I know I started to one day, but I guess I got distracted and did not. You have a nice way of taking photos. I just love the one of the morning glories from below them with the blue sky above. Very pretty! Your aster is such a nice powder puff form, must be a double? Such a pretty blue!

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
I had to go to the bathroom but the knocking was insistent; seven quick raps, then a pause, and then seven more. It reminded me of something but I was too confused to remember what.
"All right," I called out.
I considered staying quiet until the unwanted visitor gave up and left. But what if it was a thief? Maybe he was knocking to see if there was anybody home. If I stayed quiet he might just break the two-dollar lock and come in on me. I'm a small man, so even if he was just your run-of-the-mill sneak thief he might have broken my neck before realizing that Paris Minton's Florence Avenue Book Shop didn't have any money in the cash box.
I slept in an illegal loft space above the bookstore. It was the only way my little business could stay in the black. Selling used books doesn't have a very high profit margin, except for the reading pleasure. Some days the only customers brought in books to sell or barter. Other days I was the only patron, reading Don Quixote, Their Eyes Were Watching God, or some other great novel from sunup to sundown.
Mostly I sold westerns and mysteries and romances. But I rarely read those books. The women's genre wasn't written for a man's sensibilities and popular men's books were too violent.
"Let me in there, Paris," a voice I knew better than any other called out.
"Yeah, man. Let me in."
I hesitated a moment and a moment more.
I opened the door and Fearless Jones strode in, wearing a green suit with a white shirt, no tie, no hat, and dark shoes. The tip of the baby finger on his left hand was missing, shot off in a gunfight that almost got us both killed, and he had the slightest limp from a knife wound he'd received saving my life in San Francisco many years before.
Fearless was tall and dark, thin and handsome, but mostly he was powerful. He was stronger than any man I'd ever known, and his will was indomitable. Fearless wasn't a smart man. A twelve-year-old might have been a better reader, but if he ever looked into your eyes he would know more about your character than any psychiatrist, detective, or priest.
"I'm in trouble, Paris," we said together.
Fearless grinned but I didn't.
"I got to go to the toilet," I said.
I walked back through one of the two aisles of bookshelves that made up my store. Fearless followed me into the toilet, unashamed and still talking while I relieved myself in the commode.
"It was a woman named Leora Hartman," he was saying. "She came up to me at the Soul Food Shack."
"Yeah?" I said. "What about her?"
"You know her?" Fearless asked.
"Oh," he said on a sigh, and I knew I was in deep trouble.
Fearless never hesitated unless he knew that he was going to cause problems for someone he cared for. And that someone was almost always me.
I was washing my hands by the time he said, "She's a good-lookin' woman-Leora. And that little boy was so cute."
"What little boy?"
"She said his name was Son. That's what she said. But come to think of it, that must'a been his name, because even though I think he was part of a tall tale, he was just a child and a child don't know how to lie about his name."
We walked back to the front room of the bookshop. The space up there was furnished with a card table that had three chairs and a sofa built for two. I sat in one of the wood chairs.
"Leora is a pretty woman," Fearless said, following in my wake like a bullet coming after a moth. "Talked like she had some education, you know? And she was refined."
"What you mean by that?" I asked. I had learned over the years that even though Fearless and I spoke the same tongue his limited use of language was often more subtle than my own.
"I don't know really," he said with a frown. "She looked like just a regular girl, but there was somethin' that set her apart too. That's why, that's why I didn't think it would hurt to help her out."
"Fearless, what are you talking about?"
"Leora come up to me with this cryin' three-year-old boy named Son. She told me that his father had left her and that her and Son was in the street on account'a he done taken all her savings with 'im."
"She picked you outta the blue?"
"She said that Son's father is a man named Kit Mitchell. Kit's a farmer from Wayne, Texas. I been workin' for him the last month or so."
"The Watermelon Man?"
"That's him."
Fearless and I received thirteen thousand dollars apiece after we were involved in the shootout that maimed his baby finger. With my money I bought and refurbished a building that had been a barber's shop. When I was through I had a new used book store. I also bought a used Ford sedan and put a few hundred dollars in the bank with a solid two percent interest rate.
Fearless got houses for his sister and mother at thirty-five hundred dollars a go, bought a fancy car, and spent the rest on a good time that lasted about three months. After that he sold his car to pay the rent and took on a job for a man selling counterfeit Texas watermelons. Counterfeit, inasmuch as they came from the seeds of the green-and-white-striped Texas variety of melon but they were grown in Oxnard on the leased farm of a man I only knew by the title of the Watermelon Man.
The Watermelon Man hired Fearless to harvest his melons and put them on trucks that he had fitted with Texas license plates. Then he would send his fleet of six trucks into Watts, where they would sell the giant fruit on street corners, telling everybody that they were getting genuine Texas melons. Texans believe that the best food in the world is from down home, and so they spent the extra nickel for this prime commodity.
"So the woman was the Watermelon Man's wife?" I asked.
"That's what she said. She was his wife and the boy was his son. The whole time we talked, Son was cryin' that he wanted his daddy. You know he cried so hard that it almost broke my heart."
"When did you meet her?" I asked.
"I just told you-the other day."
"You never saw her with this Kit?"
"Uh-uh. I didn't even know that he was married."
"So then how'd you know that she really was his wife?" I asked, wondering at the endless gullibility of the deadliest man in L.A.
"Why she wanna lie to me?" Fearless replied. "I didn't even know the lady."
"Maybe because she wanted to find Kit for some other reason," I suggested. "Maybe he owed somebody some money, maybe he's in a jam."
"Yeah." Fearless ducked his head. "Yeah, you right, Paris. Maybe so. But when I saw her and heard that boy cryin', I was just so sure that she was the one in trouble."
"And she wanted you to bring her man back?" I asked, worrying about what my deadly friend might have done.
"No," Fearless said. "All she wanted was to know if I knew where to find him."
"And did you?"
"No. That's why I believed her story."
That was when I should have stood up and shown Fearless the door. I should have said, No more, brother. I have to get back to sleep. That's because I knew whatever it was he saw in her story was going to bite me on the backside before we were through.
"Why?" I asked beyond all reason.
"Because Kit hadn't shown up to work at the gardens on Monday. He wasn't there Tuesday neither. His drivers all came but he never showed. I wasn't surprised. The last couple'a days out there he kept talkin' about some big deal he had and how he was gonna make a whole room full'a money."
"Doing what?"
Fearless shook his head.
"Did anybody call him after he didn't show up?" I asked.
"Nobody knew his number. And we really didn't need him. You know I was the one loaded the trucks anyway. And I never liked the fact that he was pawnin' off those melons like they was real Texas. When he didn't come in on Wednesday I called it quits."
"And when did Leora come to you?"
"Day before yesterday."
It was Monday morning, so I asked, "Saturday?"
"No ... I mean yeah."
"You want some coffee, Fearless?"
He smiled then, because coffee was the signal that meant I was going to hear him out.

MOUSE IS DEAD. Those words had gone through my mind every morning for three months. Mouse is dead because of me.
When I sat up, Bonnie rolled her shoulder and sighed in her sleep. The sky through our bedroom window was just beginning to brighten.
The image of Raymond, his eyes open and unseeing, lying stockstill on EttaMae's front lawn, was still in my mind. I lurched out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom. My feet hurt every morning, too, as if I had spent all night walking, searching for EttaMae, to ask her where she'd taken Ray after carrying him out of the hospital.
So he was still alive? I asked a nurse who had been on duty that evening. No, she said flatly. His pulse was gone. The head nurse had just called the doctor to pronounce him dead when that crazy woman hit Arnold in the head with a suture tray and took Mr. Alexander's body over her shoulder.
I wandered into the living room and pulled the sash to open the drapes. Red sunlight glinted through the ragged palms at the end of our block. I had never wept over Raymond's demise, but that tattered light reflected a pain deep in my mind.
IT TOOK ME over half an hour to get dressed. No two socks matched and every shirt seemed to be the wrong color. While I was tying my shoes Bonnie woke up.
"What are you doing, Easy?" she asked. She had been born in British Guyana but her father was from Martinique, so there was the music of the French language in her English accent. "Gettin' dressed," I said. "Where are you going?"
"Where you think I'ma be goin' at this time'a day? To work." I was feeling mean because of that red light in the far-off sky. "But it's Saturday, baby." "What?"
Bonnie climbed out of the bed and hugged me. Her naked skin was firm and warm.
I pulled away from her. "You want some breakfast?" I asked. "Maybe a little later," she said. "I didn't get in from Idlewild until two this morning. And I have to go back out again today." "Then you go to bed," I said. "You sure? I mean... did you need to talk?" "Naw. Nuthin's wrong. Just stupid is all. Thinkin' Saturday's a workday. Damn."
"Are you going to be okay?" she asked. "Yeah. Sure I am." Bonnie had a fine figure. And she was not ashamed to be seen naked. Looking at her pulling on those covers reminded me of why I fell for her. If I hadn't been so sad, I would have followed her back under those blankets.
FEATHER'S LITTLE YELLOW DOG, Frenchie, was hiding somewhere, snarling at me while I made sausages and eggs. He was the love of my little girl's life, so I accepted his hatred. He blamed me for the death of Idabell Turner, his first owner; I blamed myself for the death of my best friend.
I WAS SITTING at breakfast, smoking a Chesterfield and wondering if EttaMae had moved back down to Houston. I still had friends down there in the Fifth Ward. Maybe if I wrote to Lenora Circel and just dropped a line about Etta — say hi to Etta for me or give Etta my love. Then when she wrote back I might learn something. "Hi, Dad."
My hand twitched, flicking two inches of cigarette ash on the eggs. Jesus was standing there in front of me. "I told you not to sneak up on me like that, boy." "I said hi," he explained.
The eggs were ruined but I wasn't hungry. And I couldn't stay mad at Jesus, anyway. I might have taken him in when he was a child, but the truth was that he had adopted me. Jesus worked hard at making our home run smoothly, and his love for me was stronger than blood.
"What you doin' today?" I asked him. "Nuthin'. Messin' around." "Sit down," I said.
Jesus didn't move the chair as he sat, because there was enough room for him to slide in under the table. He never wasted a movement — or a word. "I wanna drop out of high school," he said. "Say what?"
His dark eyes stared into mine. He had the smooth, eggshellbrown skin and the straight black hair of people who had lived in the Southwest for thousands of years. "It's only a year and a half till you graduate," I said. "A diploma will help you get a job. And if you keep up with track, you could get a scholarship to UCLA."
He looked down at my hands. "Why?" I asked. "I don't know," he said. "I just don't wanna be there. I don't wanna be there all the time." "You think I like goin' to work?" "You like it enough," he said. " 'Cause if you didn't like it, you'd quit."
I could see that he'd made up his mind, that he'd thought about this decision for a long time. He probably had the papers for me to sign under his bed.
I was about to tell him no, that he'd have to stick out the year at least. But then the phone rang. It was a loud ringer, especially at sixthirty in the morning.
While I limped to the counter Jesus left on silent bare feet.
"Hello?" "Easy?" It was a man's voice. "John? Is that you?"
"I'm in trouble and I need you to do me a favor," John said all in a rush. He'd been practicing just like Jesus. My heart quickened. The little yellow dog stuck his nose out from under the kitchen cabinet.
I don't know if it was an old friend's voice or the worry in his tone that got to me. But all of a sudden I wasn't miserable or sad. "What you need, John?"
"Why'ont you come over to the lots, Easy? I wanna look you in the eye when I tell ya what we want." "Oh," I said, thinking about we and the fact that whatever John had to say was too serious to be discussed over the phone. "Sure. As soon as I can make it."
I hung up with a giddy feeling running around my gut. I could feel the grin on my lips. "Who was that?" Bonnie asked. She was standing at the door to our bedroom, half wrapped in a terry-cloth robe. She was more beautiful than any man could possibly deserve.
"John." "The bartender?" "Do you have to leave today?" I asked. "Sorry. But after this trip I'll have a whole week off." "I can't wait that long," I said. I gathered her up in my arms and carried her back into the bedroom. "Easy, what are you doing?" I tossed her on the bed and then closed the door to the kitchen. I took off my pants and stood over her.
"Easy, what's got into you?"
The look on my face was answer enough for any arguments she might have had about the children or her need for sleep.
I couldn't have explained my sudden passion. All I knew was the smell of that woman, her taste and texture on my skin and tongue, was something I had never known before in my life. It was as if I discovered sex for the first time that morning.

Stage and cinema star Don Cheadle is an actor audiences seldom forget. His performances in 'Boogie Nights' and 'Traffic' leave an indelible impression, while his Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Sammy Davis, Jr. on HBO's 'The Rat Pack' was more than well deserved. His training as a classical actor comes to the fore in his energetic, suspense filled reading of the latest Fearless Jones adventure. Listeners are transported to 1950s California - Los Angeles to be exact where Fearless enlists the help of Watts resident and bookstore owner Paris Minton. A good looking woman (of course) wants Fearless to locate her husband, and he wants Paris to join in the hunt. In true Mosley style it's not too long before Paris finds himself at odds with one of the richest black women in L.A. He's at a loss to know from whom to hide as danger closes in on him from all directions. The plot is complex as he careens from mishap to close call to almost-gotcha. Here's a first rate detective story spun by a master.

In 1955 Los Angeles, Leora Hartman hires Fearless Jones to find Kit Mitchell, the father of her son, who simply vanished. Though the case seems quite simple, finding someone who appears to have just moved on, Fearless quickly concludes he needs some intellectual help and who better than a book lover would suffice? So he enlists his friend, book seller Paris Minton to help him.<P> However, the easy queries that his mousy friend makes soon prove perilous as everyone including the client lie and are willing to use, even perhaps kill, Fearless and Paris. Others have vanished too with the sleuthing duo learning they, including Kit, are probably all dead. The dynamic pair (at least one dynamo and one passive) soon finds themselves as part of the focus of a war between local VIPs, a cosmetics queen and a developer, which also makes Fearless and Paris important to LAPD.<P> Have no fear, FEAR ITSELF is a great historical mystery that not only brings to life pre- Dodger LA, but does so inside an exciting who-done-it. Though perhaps the novel has too much subterfuge (and consequently subplots), the keys to this terrific tale are the lead detectives. Fearless lives up to his name, as he is somewhat like many of the genre¿s hard boiled types. However, Paris brings freshness by not being a superhero preparing to break steel with his teeth. Instead he is an intelligent individual so frightened with the threats to his well being and from what he has learned about the affluent, fans including those in Brooklyn, will feel at home with him even if the Padres is winning the subway series a continent away.<P> Harriet Klausner

I love the writing of Walter Mosely. I feel in love with the Fearless Jones series and am hoping that he will write another two or three books in this series.
I have read all of the Easy Rawlins books and I highly recommend all of these books! Easy Rawlins and Fearless Jones.

I'm a big fan the Author and have read just about all of his books. "Always Out Numbered, Always Out Gunned" is in my top 20 books. This book was good but not as good as his others.

Walter Mosley is a poet. His characters, scenes, plots, and language are beautifully sculpted. This is worth reading a few times over as you will surely pick up something extra each time through.

I read the first Fearless Jones novel and enjoyed it. I listened to the 2nd Fearless Jones novel on Audio and I can't say enough about Don Cheadle's rendition. It was like seeing a movie in my head, just wonderful. I listened to that book at least five times in my car. The plot and the characterizations were wonderful. I read Walter Mosely's novels like other people read text books. I use a yellow marker, so I can highlight and remember those little gems of information on Black life he scatters through his novels. Walter Mosely and Don Cheadle are an unbeatable combination.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Congratulations to the 2013 Bulldog 100!
This past Saturday, the UGA Alumni Association and more than 700 alumni and friends celebrated the fourth annual Bulldog 100 at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta. This signature event recognizes the 100 fastest growing alumni-owned or -operated businesses around the globe. This year's class once again set the bar extremely high with more than 50 industries represented.
Several notable alumni graced the crowd with their presence at the event. Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Jere Morehead (JD '80) provided attendees with an update on the University. There were quite a few "wows" from the crowd when he shared that the current freshman class had an average GPA higher than 3.8 when they applied to UGA. Provost Morehead was followed by Brunswick native A.D. "Pete" Correll (BBA '63), the chairman of Atlanta Equity Investors and chairman emeritus of Georgia-Pacific Corporation. Correll's keynote address was filled with humorous stories from his time in Athens and memories of Georgia-Pacific's challenges throughout the years.
Gifford, Hillegass & Ingwersen (GH&I) coordinated the ranking of the businesses this year. Before the final rankings were announced, GH&I representative John Shurley (BBA '77) educated the crowd about the incredible growth these businesses have seen over the past few years. The average compound annual growth rate for the class was 39 percent while the top 10 saw an astounding 111 percent. Those are staggering figures, especially considering the sluggish economy in which the the Bulldog 100 have been operating.
The Student Alumni Council then took the stage and began counting down the final rankings. The top 10 honorees for 2013 were:
- Hitson Land and Timber Management, Inc. – Greg Hitson (BSFR '94)
- Mom Corps – Allison O'Kelly (BBA '94)
- Sovereign Systems – George Barkley (BBA '94), Matt Cadogan (BBA '96), Michael Hunsucker (BBA '91)
- The Leaders Lyceum – Keith Eigel (MS '95, PHD '98)
- jobTopia – Anthony Moore (BBA '93)
- EvoShield – Bob Pinckney (BBA '82)
- Athens Fitness & MMA – Rory Singer (BSBE '99), Adam Singer (BSBE '98, MS '07)
- Stadion Money Management, Inc. – Tim Chapman (matriculate '82)
- Social and Dish Boutiques – Laura Lanier (BA '00)
- Needle Solutions – Joshua Needle (BBA '99)
To view the complete list, please click here.
The Bulldog 100 is one of the UGA Alumni Association's largest events of the year. I want to thank all of the individuals who made this event a success – everyone from our Alumni Association staff members, to the administration, the Student Alumni Council, and of course, the alumni who run these companies. The night was an amazing display of the caliber of UGA graduates working around the world. I am already looking forward to next year's event. Nominations have opened online, so go ahead and start thinking about who should be considered for next year's Bulldog 100!

Alumnae Work to Save our Hearing
Athens, a town where music flourishes, is packed with venues and sold-out shows. However, two of Athens' biggest music-goers, alumnae Katie Carmody (BSED '08) and Caroline DeCelles (BSED '08, MED '10), realized that most people were unaware of the long-term, damaging effects concerts can have on hearing.
Inspired by their undergraduate studies in music business and communication sciences and disorders and by their passion for music, the two graduates started We're hEAR for You, a non-profit organization that raises awareness for hearing conservation. We're hEAR for You supplies free earbuds in music venues all over Athens as well as communities across the nation.
Earbuds provided by We're hEAR for You
In an interview with the Red & Black, Carmody and DeCelles shared their passion for hearing protection.
"We're trying to break the stigma of hearing protection. People think that hearing protection will decrease the quality of a show, but it actually filters out damaging frequencies. We're hEAR for You focuses on education. Once people understand the science on why they need to protect their hearing, they are so much more likely to use hearing protection," said Carmody.
We're hEAR for You has established chapters in Atlanta, Nashville, Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins, but the group's largest chapter is in the Classic City.
Locally, the organization's major effort is to supply music venues, bars and other music related operations in the Athens area, such as Nuci's Space, with free ear buds and hearing protection resources. The public takes full advantage of the earbuds which have to be restocked quite frequently.
DeCelles and Carmody are in collaboration with the UGA Huge Hodges School of Music and strongly encourage students to get involved in advocating hearing protection. The organization takes part in the annual International Hearing Awareness Day on campus as well.
As the organization continues to grow, they work with musicians nationwide to promote hearing conservation. Currently, We're hEAR for You has 25 bands that carry their earbuds on tour. Carmody operates as a liaison with these artists and makes sure the bands stay stocked. The organization even coordinates with music festivals to provide the earbuds to fellow music lovers.

UGA is hosting its 3rd Annual TEDxUGA event in Tate Grand Hall on Friday, March 27 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. What is TEDx? TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxUGA, where x = independently organized TED event. At the TEDxUGA event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. Several UGA alumni will present at this year's TEDxUGA event:
- Lemuel LaRoche (BSW '02, MSW '03)
- Michelle Blue (BBA '13)
- Julie Rushmore (PHD '13, DVM '17)
- Chris Dixon (ABJ '89, MMC '95)
- Lisa Taylor (JD '01)
Won't be in Athens or missed out on tickets for the event? TEDxUGA will be livestreamed begining at 2:00 p.m. on Friday. This will be a great opportunity for alumni and friends to participate and engage from across the country. You can also interact with the event on Twitter.

Salary Equity Software - HR Equator
Salary Equity Software
HR Equator is the most comprehensive and advanced salary equity software tool on the market. This proprietary software program enables a company to identify potential pay equity problems in its organization and, in turn, can assist in making salary adjustments if necessary. The software was developed with human resources professionals in mind. Basically, the software enables the non-technical HR professional to conduct advanced statistical analyses without being a statistician. HR Equator utilizes the most advanced statistical analyses that are accepted by the courts, EEOC, and the OFCCP, and the reports can be used to conduct comprehensive proactive or reactive analyses as part of an OFCCP or EEOC investigation. This software tool has been recognized as exactly what employers need to avoid costly compensation settlements and ensure non-discrimination in their pay practices.
Mirroring the methodologies employed by both the EEOC and the OFCCP, and recognized by the courts, these analyses and features include:
- Multiple Regression Analysis
- Program to Help Create Pay Analysis Groups
- Generation of Item 11 Report and Excel file
- Statistical Significance Tests (t-tests, Fisher's exact test)
- Analyses Comparing Race/Ethnicity Sub-Groups as well as Minority-Nonminority Comparisons
- Factor Pattern Analysis
- Correlation Analysis
- Cohort Analysis (small group and large group)
- Back Pay Calculator
- Descriptive Statistics and Frequencies
Proposed Rulemaking for Revisions to Sex Discrimination Guidelines Released
On January, 28, 2015, OFCCP released the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for the long awaited revisions to the Sex Discrimination Guidelines (RIN 1250-AA05).

In accordance with the revised Section 503 regulations, Federal contractors are now collecting voluntary self-identifications of disability status from employees and applicants and including these figures in their affirmative action plans. This information is voluntary, so contractors may not compel employees or applicants to complete and turn in the form. Therefore, 100% participation of employees or applicants in the voluntary invitation is not likely.
Given this, DCI clients have raised concerns about low participation rates in this voluntary invitation and the impact that this will have on the disability goals and other analytics. Therefore, we have put together a short survey for Federal contractors to share their self-identification participation rates to establish an industry benchmark for contractor awareness.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
It's not just homesteaders, hipsters and foodies getting into the hands-on pursuit. The butter-churning craze is part of a larger, do-it-yourself food movement that includes everything from canning, to making homemade bitters, a food writer says.
Making butter? I pictured him sitting on an Amish stool churning away in the shade of his porch. And since I've always thought of butter-making as the sole province of women, I pictured him in a dairy maid's bonnet that matched both his eyes and his rugby shirt. I was a bit jealous of both his crushing amount of free time and the fact that he had thought of making butter before I did. I asked him where he picked up the churn.
"I don't have a churn, Michael. I'm doing it in my Kitchen Aid."

Philosophy not really relevant here IMO. It must be a giant
non-classical information wave. Random micro-quantum waves are pure
noise, consciousness is obviously a coherent signal with enormous
information capacity. Only the robust giant local <g|b(x)|g>
macro-coherent quantum information wave can serve as the physical field
for conscious mind. It is ready made for the job. "The Lord is Subtle
but not malicious." (Einstein). The Bohm quantum potential made from
<g|b(x)|g> is to cite Basil Hiley, "non-mechanical", "form-dependent",
"intensity-independent", and in a certain sense "nonlocal" in the same
way that an unentangled micro-quantum wave for a single particle,
though a local complex function in ordinary space has a nonlocal
quantum potential.
The dynamical equation for the giant wave "condensate" <g|b(x)|g> is
not the linear micro-quantum Schrodinger equation but the nonlinear
Landau-Ginzburg equation. Bohm's "hydrodynamics" is now more
complicated from the new nonlinear "Hartree-Fock" self-consistent field
terms nonlinear in the ODLRO c-number field <g|b(x)|g>. The normal
fluid fluctuations into and out of <g|b(x)|g> still obey the linear
Schrodinger evolution however.

No, because one can prove that single boson micro-quantum states have
signal locality. Also which of the what 10^18 random qubits (in
microtubule model) in the body will take over. How can a state worth a
few qubits control 10^18 at least qubits? It makes no sense. Also,
random noise is random noise. The stream of inner consciousness is a
stable coherent signal. This requires "generalized phase rigidity" the
essence of macro-quantum theory. If you read the quotation from PW

This idea may become clearer? BTW we are not thermal equilibrium
systems. We are pumped open systems and the metabolic power is like an
effective inverse temperature (H. Frohlich, biomembrane model)
analogous to a pumped laser above threshold making a coherent
<g|b(x)|g> real photon radiation field.

How can a single boson state, i.e. b*|0> "view"? What is the
operational meaning of your remark?
|0> is the boson vacuum, and b* is the second quantized creation
operator for the boson field.
In order for the "mind" to "view" anything, it must have an "input"
from the "body".
That is precisely the macro-quantum BIT FROM IT Landau-Ginzburg
equation. This is only an ODLRO "more is different" collective
emergence bottom --> up process.
The "mind" must also be able to "move" the "body".
That is precisely the deBroglie-Bohm IT FROM BIT "guidance equation"
also found on the micro-quantum level where it is a sub-quantal random
Brownian type process (J. P. Vigier) with a random ensemble of micro
BIT pilot waves buffeting their IT particles. One only gets coherent
volition AKA "will power" in the macro-quantum open systems with signal
nonlocality (presponse).
The micro-quantum BIT mind field has no direct sources from its IT. The
IT is a test particle, therefore, it follows with mathematical logic,
that a "single boson", as you put it, cannot "view" anything at all! In
contrast, <g|b(x)|g> does "view" the outside world via its
Landau-Ginzburg BIT FROM IT nonlinear partial differential equation in
ordinary space since the latter is minimally coupled to the
electromagnetic field (both near and far) from the electric charges of
the electric diple quantum dots in the microtubule model, for example,
where b(x) is a collective boson Frohlich mode from the 10^10 dots.

I am not so constrained. But "presponse" is only one very essential
part of a Big Picture that is beginning now to make a lot of sense
since the discovery of dark matter and dark energy especially since Feb
11, 2003 - a watershed date.
IMHO "presponse" is properly understood as "macro-quantum signal
nonlocality" in a <g|b(x)|g>

would require? Note that the "loop" in Igor Novikov's "The River of
Time" is actually movement of matter around a closed timelike
worldline" on the purely IT level. What you are seeing is analogous but
with non-classical information transfer from signal nonlocality in the
unified macro-quantum IT<-> BIT condensate field not in sub-quantal
Remember my conclusions in the NOVA paper now in press is entirely data
1. Superfluid coherence
2. Regge trajectories of hadronic resonances
3. Electrons do not explode from their electrical self energy
4. Presponse mind-brain data (also PEAR, SRI RV)
5. Dark energy and dark matter as 96% of all the stuff of the universe
especially since WMAP and Type Ia supernovae data.
6. Finally, last but not least, the more controversial "flying saucer"
data as distilled by USG intelligence pros from NIDS, French Military,
Rockefeller Report and a few other reliable sources after the large
amount of New Age Cargo Cult noise has been filtered out.
