In addition to being named to the Capital One Academic District 7 first team, Cranston is a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award.
Nov. 8, 2012
2012 Capital One Academic All-District Teams | Senior CLASS Award voting
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—For the third consecutive season, Colorado State volleyball senior Dana Cranston has been named a 2012 Capital One Academic All-District member. On Thursday for the first time, however, she has been named to the first team.
Cranston, a business administration major who holds a 3.89 cumulative grade point average, was selected to the District 7 first team. District 7 encompasses all Division-I schools from the states of Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. Seven student-athletes were named to the District 7 first team, while an additional six were included on the second team.
Cranston, a native of Fort St. John, B.C., is one of six Mountain West student-athletes to be selected, joining: Marissa Brand, Fresno State; Allison Davis, UNLV (second team); Andrea Hannasch, San Diego State; Alyesha Hein, Air Force; and Madeline Westman, UNLV (second team).
In 2011, Cranston earned Capitol One Academic District 7 second-team honors, while in 2010, she was also a second-team selection for the award, which at the time was sponsored by ESPN/CoSIDA.
The award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. To be nominated, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically and be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA. Nominated student-athletes were then selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
As a first-team selection, Cranston will now be included on the Capital One Academic All-America ballot. Angela Knopf (2000 third team, 2001 second team) is the only student-athlete in program history to be named an Academic All-American.
Cranston, a three-time Academic All-Mountain West selection and three-time Mountain West Scholar-Athlete, enters Thursday's match vs. UNLV second in the Mountain West in kills (3.74 per set), service aces (0.32) and points (4.47). She was a 2011 All-Mountain West selection and was picked in August as a 2012 Preseason Co-Player of the Year.
Additionally, Cranston is currently one of 10 finalists competing for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award, which honors senior student-athletes who excel on the court, in the classroom, in the community and have high character. The winner will be partially decided by a fan vote. Fans are encouraged to vote for Cranston daily through Nov. 26 at www.SeniorCLASSAward.com.

@ DJ Anubis No not twitter, I met with him at an album signing of "Patience" in New York City and we were talking about it. I happened to have it with me and gave him a copy. HE actually teared up listening and I jokingly said, is it that bad? He said no your voice is so smooth. He said too bad it wasn't recorded professionally and he liked how I took an original sample and put the beats from a Public Enemy track on it. Imagine,.......George Michael tearing up at my voice? insane but true. He's a great guy.

Field reports: Pike netting continues on Pend Oreille River
FISHING – More than 5,200 northern pike have been gillnetted out of the Pend Oreille River downstream from Newport this spring. But anglers may still hook fish from the 10-15 percent of the former pike population remaining in Box Canyon Reservoir, says Jason Connor, Kalispel Tribe biologist.
"We are still grinding away at the netting," he said Thursday, describing the project with the state to curtail numbers of the non-native predators.
"Catch has been down, but consistent. We are now catching far more juvenile fish aged 1-2.
"We haven't seen a lot of anglers out on the water lately. The river is still really high – elevation 2,040 feet, which is 9 feet above base flows. Water is still relatively cold."
Bass angling should be affected little by the pike netting, he said. Meantime, pike can still be caught in the riverside sloughs.
"As the water warms and elevation drops in June, anglers should target the weed beds in the main channel in the central part of the reservoir.
"If I were headed out, I would fish Boundary Reservoir launching at Metaline Park and heading upstream. The side channels and backwaters between there and around Selkirk School surely have fish in them."
Pike fishing derbies with fun events and prizes are planned for June 29-July 1 and Aug. 3-5. Info: kalispeltribe.com/northern-pike.
Sea lions show up above Bonneville
FISHERIES – California sea lions are leaving their original saltwater hunting areas to chase fish inland as they go up the Columbia River.
About four of the big marine mammals this year have managed to find their way up the Columbia 146 miles from the Pacific Ocean to cross above Bonneville Dam.
Sea lions have in recent years increased their presence in the waters below Bonneville Dam, feeding on salmon and steelhead spawners staging to climb over the dam.
More recently they've been seen at The Dalles Dam, which is another 45 miles upstream from Bonneville.
Tribal spokesman say the sea lions have been raising hell at tribal gillnets in the area.
Oregon divvies $82K for wolf prevention
PREDATORS – The Oregon Agriculture Department says eight eastern Oregon counties are dividing more than $82,000 for wolf damage to livestock and prevention efforts.
Department spokesman Bruce Pokarney says Wallowa, Union, Baker and Umatilla counties are receiving 86 percent of the money appropriated by the Legislature.
Wallowa is the only one of the eight counties to experience actual livestock deaths or injuries due to wolves. It has been awarded more than $13,000 to compensate ranchers. Pokarney says Wallowa County also received $25,000 for prevention.
In all, $66,500 from the block grant program will pay for non-lethal efforts, including such things as attaching flags to fences to keep wolves away from livestock.
Other counties receiving money include Malheur, Grant, Jefferson and Crook. State biologists say Oregon has 28 known gray wolves in four packs.
$6M critter crossing planned at Redmond
WILDLIFE – King County plans to spend about $6 million building an overpass just for wildlife near Redmond, Wash.
Planners hope deer, elk, coyotes and cougars will use the overpass to cross Novelty Hill Road to avoid vehicle collisions. Most of the funding comes from a Federal Highway Administration grant.

Home heater blowing warm but not hot air.
We are renting a condo, and the weather has gotten very cold this past week. The central electric heater in the condo blows out warm air (feels like room temperature, or a little warmer), but not hot. Is there anything we can check before we call our landlord?
We have the thermostat set to 65 during the winter, to save on energy costs. Excuse my ignorance, but does the temperature you set the thermostat at determine the temperature of the air blown out, or does it just determine when the system cuts on and off?
Further to my original post...
I turned the thermostat up to 70 degrees (or what appeared to be), and put a thermometer right in front of one of the vents. The temperature of the air blowing out peaked at 78.6 degrees, and usually stayed just under 78. That seems low, doesn't it?
Thanks for checking in. We are renting a condo which is 1200-1300 sq. ft. We are on the second floor. The outdoor temperature right now during the day is in the 50s, and low 30s at night.
The unit in the condo appears to be a Goodman (model awb30-05c). I don't know much more than that. It is a pretty small unit. It sits on a shelf in the utility closet, and the water heater takes the other half of the closet on the ground.
Let me know if that helps, or if you need more info.
mckev - The thermostst setting is the target temperature - not the temperature of the air coming out. The typical heat pump doesn't have what you would call a gas pedal, but instead is working at full capacity as long as it is running. Your unit is 2 1/2 ton, which is suitable for the room. It may/may not have a small problem, but you can switch to "emergency heat" on the thermostat if necessary.
Thanks. That was my understanding about the thermostat, also, but I had several people tell me to turn up the thermostat 5 extra degrees, to see if that made the air any warmer. I guess they were thinking that something might not be set properly in the unit, and the heating elements aren't kicking on at a lower temperature setting.
Anywho, what do you mean by "emergency heat"? FYI, I called the landlord, and he is having a tech come out tomorrow.
Emergency heat is used when your unit will lose ground and auxiliary heat is not working or been 'instructed' to come on. Emergency heat is enabled on command.
BTW: I assume you have electrical strip heat. Going to emergency (all electric) is expensive.

We are live on Twitch right now, streaming some gamedev. Come join us and have a look at what we're doing!
You can also ask us anything using #midoraqa on Twitter, or you can post on our facebook page.
There is currently no ETA on when everything will be resolved but we will do our best to keep you informed on the situation and tell you when Early Access should pop up. If you would like to play on PC as soon as possible, we will be emailing links to download the DRM-Free version on the Humble Store as soon as the game is fixed. Each account will then receive a steam key once the game has been approved by Valve.
We hope you understand the situation and trust we are doing our best to bring you something to play as soon as possible.
Merry christmas!
..what? Is it too early? Our hero's name is Snow, so it's never too early! We have a bunch of important news and infos to share, so please read very carefully.
If you have yet to confirm your primary game copy, we unfortunately cannot leave the page up forever. We cannot guess what copy of the game you want (platform or console), so we are adding a deadline for that. Anyone that fails to take 30 seconds to complete the rewards form on our page before December 10 will be marked as receiving a Steam copy of the game.
If you have confirmed your game copy and add-ons, then you are in our database! This means that every single time a reward is available for you, you will be emailed to know how exactly to receive that reward. It's that simple.
We cannot tell you exactly when you will get X or Y reward, but we can tell you our current plan:
Posters should be sent sometime around January, perhaps February. We are still working with printing companies and running some tests to see what's best for the poster. Once that's done, and just like for every other reward, you will be emailed to give us your shipping address. Why not tell us now? Because we're busy with a lot of things, because it would be a mess to keep the information and because you might move shortly after! By completing our form inside the email you will receive, you will be able to tell us exactly where we should ship the poster and/or if we should wait before we do so.
Books? Same as above, only the Book of Knowledge will come out around the same time as the game. We don't want to spoil you!
Custom NPCs? Shortly after Early Access! We will do them all at once, and you will be emailed with, once again, a special form to submit your picture(s).
Monsters, quests, items, dungeon and all other special perks? We honestly don't know, but most certainly in 2015. All of these are to be implemented while we are working on the game. Fear not, you will be emailed to give us your input in time!
Yes, we are answering that question again right here. Even if you didn't ask, make sure you read carefully, because some of you are still confused as to what we're doing! There is also a slight issue with the team announcing a short delay on the release and more confusion around that. We'll explain once and for all:
The kickstarter campaign was funded. That means the game was funded. What does that mean? That means the game will happen. When? Still around Summer 2015 (which is anywhere between June 21 and September 23. We can continue working on this game full time thanks to all of you. But full time should never mean non-stop, which is what some of us have been doing for 20 months and more. Are we exhausted? Absolutely. Do we deserve a break? We believe we do.
Following the game getting greenlit on Steam, we have decided to try and release Midora on Early Access so that you can all play it while we're working on it and give us your feedback. We've been working on that shortly after the campaign and we aren't even done. There is a certain level of expectation and a few rules/guidelines to follow before attempting to release anything in Early Access. We know you really want to play the game, but you can trust us when we tell you it's not worth it just yet.
Who gets Early Access? All backers who picked a Steam or DRM-Free copy of the game. Remember that you get both a Steam key and a direct download, if you picked Steam or DRM-Free when confirming your rewards (you're welcome). The Early Access version is the full game but without all the content. That means the game will update itself, even the Steam-less version.
The Early Access version of the game is also a way for us to start selling the actual game, just like you bought it during the kickstarter campaign. We don't need the money to make the game happen but we do need more money to make it happen faster. More money means another artist, perhaps another developer as well. More money also means more polish, making everything better. More money could even mean making ports happen faster as well. This is exactly what we meant by "it needs to do well, though" in Devlog #3. We meant zero harm but probably failed to deliver the right message. We're sorry. Don't worry.
So when do we take that break? Just like we've announced in Devlog #3, our exhaustion is the reason why we're late, but us being dedicated to give you a taste of the game before Christmas is why we are delaying Early Access just a little bit. We'll take our break after Early Access. We want to be able to relax for Christmas with our families and enjoy what has to be enjoyed. We'll get back to work on the first day of 2015.
Do you still have questions? Ask away!
We're delaying Early Access to December 10. Here's Devlog #3 with the whole update inside. See you soon on Early Access!

Aside from the surreal garden walk at Chateau Chaumont this year, there are, as always, the dozens of acres of outdoor sculpture--not to mention the exposition of world famous painters and photographers inside the Castle that Sugar Built.
The loss of Lady Mary Soames, Winston Churchill's youngest daughter and last surviving child, who died on May 31 at the age of 91, deprives the world of its finest direct Churchillian link. For me, it also draws to a close a very sweet friendship.
Urban gardening often seems like an activity only reserved for the particularly ambitious among us. Without space, how can anything grow?
Something my garden constantly reminds me to do is to be generous, which is an admittedly easier thing to do when it offers me more vegetables than I could eat on my own.
There's a common misconception that if you don't have a green thumb, you cannot grow your own food. And that's 100 percent wrong.
Always, always, it comes back to what a garden means to me. A garden offers structure and reliable cycles. There's the renewal that's visible with each plant and tree, each blossom or new leaf.
Written by Roberta Lane "The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May." -- Edwin Way Teale, American naturalist and w...
Although every season is magnificent in Yellowstone, in late spring the wildflowers begin to bloom in bright hues, from pink and purple to green. America's first national park is home to more than 1,350 species of vascular plants.
My husband teases me that I grow potpourri and he has a point. While I'm mad about gardens, I have been known to starve them. The other day I notice...
It takes me less than two days to save enough water to grow more vegetables than I can eat using only simple, inexpensive items and without making any significant changes to my behavior. I find that to be an incredibly powerful and empowering idea.
There are many different types of gardens, but perhaps the most beloved of all are public gardens, which highlight all types of horticulture and serve as low-cost attractions that provide fun activities for visitors of all ages.
Located in the town of Port-Marly, directly west of Paris, just under 12 miles away from the capital, the Château de Monte-Cristo property now hosts musical and theatrical events, and draws tourists and painting aficionados.
Even in our highly unnatural cities, the very human desire to connect with nature has also given rise to countless parks and gardens. When we think of green space in New York City, where I live and work, our mind goes first to Central Park and the New York Botanical Gardens.
For many fruits and vegetables, the sun can be too harsh, drying soil too quickly, burning leaves, soaring too high for pollination. In Florida, where I grow, I'm all too familiar with the sun and its downside.
"So plastic is mind, so receptive, that the slightest thought makes an impression upon it. People who think many kinds of thought must expect to recei...

Smoke Coming Out of New Floodlights
Our electrician (who wired our new house - and is by far the most reputable in the area)installed new floodlights today along the eaves of our house. He installed doubles on each end of the house, and a single in the middle. They tested them earlier today, with no apparent problems. We turned them on tonight for about an hour, and went inside. We had company, and as they were leaving, we noticed smoke coming out of both of the double floodlights (but we didn't think smoke was coming out of the one in the middle). I immediately turned off the floodlights and the smoking stopped. I checked in the attic and there is no fire. Tried to call the electrician, but his phone is turned off (it was about 9:00 p.m.). There is no more smoke. When we first turned the lights off they were hot around the outside. They are now cool (about an hour later). Of course, I won't turn the lights back on, and of course, I'll be calling the electrician first thing in the morning. But what could have caused it? And should I call the fire department tonight to have it checked out even though there's no more smoke?
I'm going with:
1- moisture. the "smoke" you saw was steam.
2- dust. the floodlights sat on a shelf for a while, and had dust on them. the heat from the lamps is causing the dust to burn off.
3- cheap paint on the lampholders.
Neither of the 3 is a huge issue.

By John LeBoutillier
It is exactly one year before the 2008 Presidential and congressional elections Nov. 4, 2008.
On another Nov. 4, 28 years ago, so-called students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held our diplomats and Marines for 444 days.
That single incident cost Jimmy Carter his presidency, launched the Reagan Revolution, and began a war against fundamentalist islam.
This past weekend Pakistan imposed a state of emergency following a recent spate of violence and several assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf, whose dismissal of the chief justice of the Supreme Court smacks of the extra-legal act of a dictator (which he is).
Could it be that this action, exactly one year before the crucial 2008 American election, will have the same impact on our 2008 elections as the seizure of our embassy did 28 years ago?
Let's examine some issues:
All of this makes it clear that Pakistan is the epicenter of the world's ongoing difficulties.
Here are a few key issues that might influence our 2008 election:
In these question may lie the key to the U.S. elections in exactly one year.

The Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) has come under flak for promoting the sale of sites through General Power of Attorney (GPA), which has been declared illegal by the Supreme Court.
In a release, P.M. Bhat of the Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP) pointed out that MUDA placed advertisements in local newspapers announcing the sale of MUDA-allotted sites through GPA.
"The advertisements state that if no objections are received within 15 days, MUDA will transfer the site to the buyer," Mr. Bhat said.
However, a Supreme Court ruling of October 11, 2010 outlawed such sales by urban development authorities. "As the Supreme Court observed in its judgment, the purpose of GPA sales is to avoid stamp duty and registration charges, avoid payment of capital gains, invest black money, avoid any public record of transactions, enable persons to hold any number of properties without disclosing them as assets held, and avoid payment of 'unearned increases' due to development authorities on transfer," said Mr. Bhat.
Further quoting the court's observations, the release claimed GPA sales adversely affect the economy, civil society, and law and order.
The sale of immovable property through GPA was illegal even before the Supreme Court pronouncement; the court had only reiterated what was already law, said the MGP member.
The Supreme Court ruling was welcomed by the Federation of Tax Payers Association, the release added.
H.V.S. Murthy, advocate and member of the association, told The Hindu , "The Supreme Court has understood the malpractice involved in GPA sales and its impact on the economy. The transfer of property rights through GPA cannot be done anymore and this will help regulate transactions related to immovable property to a large extent. Some persons may be affected, but this ruling is to be welcomed [as it] will benefit genuine buyers of property," he said.

Product Details
AKA: Take
Featuring: Ango; Anna Wise (of Sonnymoon); Deniro Farrar; Doc Illingsworth; Pat Parra; Self Says; Vikter Duplaix
Producer: Sweatson Klank (aka Take)
Tags: Beats; Broken Beats; Hip Hop
SummaryFrom its opening notes 'You, Me, Temporary' announces itself as music from the soul reaching for the soul. The album recounts a modern day love story through the musical eyes of its protagonist, Sweatson Klank. It's a story of love in the fast lane that touches on the good - innocence, romance, lust, sex - and the bad - drugs, debauchery, loss of self, despair - before closing with the peaceful beauty that comes with total acceptance of what is. 'You, Me, Temporary' is Sweatson Klank's third full-length album in 10 years, and it shows just how extensive the Los Angeles native's artistic growth has been. The music tight ropes between electronic, hip hop and futuristic R&B, sidestepping obvious boxes while finding its own effortlessly. 'You, Me, Temporary' transcends genres, balancing the vulnerable and sensual with the rough and jagged. The album has an emotive and sometimes pressing quality, in direct opposition to today's disposable music mania. The hypnotic interplay of chords, melodies and rhythms draws you in and is equally effective in headphones as it is on the dancefloor. The warmth of analogue equipment flirts with expert sampling and chops that evoke the playful soul of '90s R&B and the heartfelt angst of classic hip hop while remaining forward thinking.
A wide cast of vocal guests help recount the different tales and stages of this story: Vikter Duplaix, Ango, Selfsays, Doc Illingsworth, Deniro Farrar, Anna Wise of Sonnymoon and Pat Parra. Upbeat and energetic songs sit next to hypnotic ballads, the sort most conducive to 'baby making' you might even say. The music is often elating, sexy and at times dreamy but also progresses to show melancholy and despondency in the sincerest way. Sometimes playful, sometimes serious the vocal tracks add a human dimension to the story that 'You, Me, Temporary' tells, completing its message and taking the album to that proverbial next level.
With this third album Sweatson Klank puts aside self-indulgence for simple honesty and the maturity that only comes with being a seasoned artist. 'You, Me, Temporary' tells a timeless story in a compelling way, and while its title hints at the trials and tribulations behind relationships, the overt concept lies in the impermanence of everything around us.

Shiny green?
jan_on zone 5bJuly 31, 2012
Can you recommend a medium(ish) shiny plain green hosta? 'Devon Green' looks good to me. Others?
Candy Dish, Garnet Prince, and Invincible.
Ludi _PA_7a
Leather Sheen . . . very similar to Devon Green but slightly different growth pattern.
Another one I can recommend is Irish Luck. It gets larger than medium. But still a nice shiney dark green leaf with some pie crusting and semi upright.
Mine is new this month but still a general idea. :)
Here is the link to the other thread about the darks.

i have just had my new car a couple of

2004 Ford Taurus Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
For those of you interested in the Ford
Taurus SE, I would highly recommend the
5-Passenger with SE Value Package.
After test driving the 6-Passenger
Seating version, I realized the front
center seating would never be practical
for any adult. Also, the 6-disc CD
changer is mounted in the rear trunk
which would not be convenient for long
road trips. However, I was impressed
with the 5-Pass version w/ floor
mounted shifter and 6-disc CD changer
in the center console. Not only is it
easy changing CDs, but also adds some
extra storage next to
the CD player. Now I don't have to
worry about hitting the CD changer when
I throw my golf clubs in the trunk.

This Taurus is the best one yet. The

I regret very much about Ford's decision
to discontinue with the Taurus for next
year, I think it's a big mistake!!
The Ford Futura looks very ugly!
Doesn't have the classic looks of the
Ford Taurus!
Also by the way, driving from Colorado
to Arizona this past summer, I could
not believe my eyes, about the number
of Ford Tauruses on the road from here
to Arizona.Very popular auto indeed!

So far, we have been to the shop close
to a dozen times. The car would
sputter when idle at traffic stops,
etc. The dealership couldn't figure
out what was wrong the first 4 times I
visited. Then they determined it was
a bad wire. Finally, the car stalled,
and they identified the fuel pump as
needing to be replaced. Now, the car
is sputtering again. I think i'm
going to buy another car.

I just bought my car and I love it. My
2 boys have plenty of room in the back
seat. The trunk us huge and with 2

Very good car if you have kids.

Duds of the year---share YOURS, too!
Looking over my hosta garden under the tree (the tree finally kicked the bucket entirely a couple weeks ago, thank you lack of co-op maintenance) and the Neighbor's Plot, I have been very happy with the performance of Rainbow's End, Remember Me, Paradise Island, Rainforest Sunrise, Gypsy Rose, Blue Cadet, Undulatus mediopicta, Sparkler, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Raspberry Sundae, Little Treasure (my personal fav), and one or two others I cannot remember at this moment.
First Mate grew a little better this year than last year, but I would not call it a fast-growing hosta. Major disappointments were Cracker Crumbs (it formed 2 more eyes this year, but still not exactly a mound of growth) and Yellow Eyes (ditto). Maui Buttercups got a little scorched, possibly because the stupid purple plum tree died.
How did everyone else's hostas perform? What were your DUDS?
I dont have the massive collection of many hostaholics - but I have had a very good season with the 80 odd that I do have. All have perfomed well with only one exception.
This past spring I finally decided to try one of the Lakesides - it was my first and so far only Mary Chastain introducton. For reasons unknown to me, the Lakeside Paisley Print that I acquired did not grow at all and the leaf tips looked scorched all season. I'll give it a chance in spring to redeem itself but I am disappointed in it.
The scorched look was frustrating given that it was planted in a shadyspot, the summer was not hot and had regular rainfall plus I run a sprinkler system.
The vagaries of hosta growing!
Lakeside Paisley Print has been a VERY SLOW grower for me too. Mine is probably 4 or 5 years old and is still quite small.
My English Sunrise was the worse. It hasn't died but hasn't progressed at all from this picture (bottom right) that was taken at the beginning of the season. The top left shot was what it looked like in 2012 when I first purchased it. A friend suggested it might have been planted too deeply so it has been raised and is still struggling. I guess 2014 will tell.
My 'Rainforest Sunrise' is shrinking, it seems. My 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa and 'Irish Luck'' died.
Other than that, I've been pretty fortunate.
Don B.
I just tossed 4 due to foliar nematodes but have had a good hosta year other than these other three:
My only real dud was a 'Raspberry Sorbet', but I got 2 so I'm okay to wait and see how it does next spring.
'Sparkler' kind of turned to toast once I planted it; thinking I need to move it beneath a large hosta for protection.
And I got 'Humpback Whale' that came as a tiny baby, much to my disappointment. Now waiting on it to grow up before I decide.
Cracker Crumbs isn't doing much. Purchased in 2010 and placed in ground. Thought I had pretty much lost it at the beginning of this year so decided to place it in a more controlled environment in a pot to see what it would do. A couple of new leaves over the season, better than disappearing altogether. We'll see what it does next year.
There are a few other hosta that have not thrived for me, but due to my placement. (Loyalist, Twilight, Paul's Glory) I planted them under a hemlock and spruce, ground thick with roots. I really wanted hosta there, and hoped against logic that they would grow. Well, no luck. They dwindled. I dug them up and relocated them and they are all doing better. So I have learned, if a hosta isn't doing well, move it.
I also have 3 Minuteman and a single Singing in the Rain that are very ragged, edges all sawtoothed. Size is OK, leaves are ugly. Not sure but wondering if they got cold damage early in the season. These I haven't moved, plan to see what they do next year.
Other than that, I've been lucky and all seem to be doing well.
My biggest dud this year was 'Hoosier Harmony'. It grew ok, but there is no other hosta in my 100+ hostas that looks so raggedy as this one. Even though I put out plenty of slug bait & bug killer, it appears that every bug in the neighborhood managed to take a nibble anyway. It must be so tasty that bugs and slugs will risk certain death just to get a bite. Maybe I should try it in a salad instead of in the ground. Lol

My duds are the same plants that have limped along for years. I haven't needed the space, but some are getting the axe next year. There's a Liberty that has four scrawny leaves after 4 years. I put a new one next to it, and that one has doubled over the summer, so Liberty #1 is going. Minuteman is five years old and hardly bigger than when planted, Twilight was beautiful until moved and now has ratty edges that get worse all season. Jim Mathews' only eye turned solid green. Barbara Ann also has disintegrating edges. Singing in the Rain was burnt out until the rabbits ate it to the ground. It and a scruffy St. Elmo's Fire were covered by Daffodil leaves this spring and got off to a bad start, so they're getting another chance.
Hate to get rid of Jim Mathews - it was fairly expensive. It's not bad looking in solid green. Maybe I'll just call it "Robbing Hood".
That sounds like a bad year, but almost everything thrived. It's just the same old bad apples.
BTW, Lakeside Paisley Print has done well for me. Not a fast grower, but getting bigger and developing corregation. The Humpback Whale I got this spring was a decent size for a new introduction. No new leaves, but the roots have grown fast. Time to get it in the ground and hope for good things next spring.
Are you sure Jim Matthews didn't show some misting in the spring? It does turn all green... markings disappear fairly early in summer - but I've also had it throw all green eyes as well.
Just wouldn't want somebody to put one in and then think it had gone bad on them when it went green and dispose of it before seeing the spring color...
Jim Matthews had a tiny bit of lighter color down the middle when it finally came up, but each leaf got greener. It didn't look a bit like it did when planted last year. Disappointing, since it was such a beautiful hosta. I'm not going to pull it out, still hoping against all odds. Besides, it doesn't make a bad green hosta. Thanks for warning me, though.
Two that are on the fading quick list are Pandora's Box and Pure Heart. I guess I'm going to stop buying the minis and dwarfs, and go no smaller than small. The smalls are doing fine in a group bowl, but the minis cannot take being repeatedly dug up by the squirrels. I am facing some difficult choices, and either I focus on the fragrant hosta and get those and the small/minis that are related to fragrance or excellent flowers in some fashion, --or I wind up with puny hosta that don't thrive in my zone. It's tough being a wee hosta here, since containers dry out quicker or they are susceptible to heat or else they go heat dormant more quickly and I just THINK they are dead. Until they either reflush now or emerge next spring, I'm not getting another mini.
One that I was disappointed in was Sparkler. It is barely there....think a big fat worm chewed on it.
Lakeside Black Satin #1 from 2012 doesn't look like much. But #2 from another nursery is still small but doing much better. The leaves are a really dark silky velvety green, like Miz Scarlett's velvet draperies made into a gown. I hope both of them prevail.
Stargate is a fragrant that I plan to feature at the entrance to my hosta garden, first thing you see when you enter through the Star Gate, and take the Moonwalk for an evening stroll. However, it is a sweet sadness that dear Stargate is sterile. BUT, I believe the jury is still out on that one. Perhaps it needs a longer growing season such as the one I can offer it. If it can produce pollen, and another set the pod, I'd be exctremely pleased. It (Stargate) is supposed to be streaked, and perhaps it will be later on. Mine is just new. However, it is still the choice for entry to my garden.
BTW, I'm still reading the book THE EVENING GARDEN. Fascinating book, since it gives multiple evening blooming plants which can be companions to my fragrant hosta.
But I digress.
