Overclocking issues ASUS P5N32-E SLI
I having no luck overclocking with this board.i have read through the guides,disabled spread spectrums,linkboost,gpu ex and i run my ram in unlinked mode. Whatever i do 300fsb plus ends in a BSOD and a reboot when running a game or 3dmark.As i understand no vcore voltage adjustments should be needed until you pass 3ghz but i cannot pass 2.7 without problems.
@1192 fsb ive run orthos and super pi 10 hours plus with acceptable temps(idle cpu 35 c system 28 with the aid of a 3200rpm chipset fan on the nb heatsink,load 47c and 34c) ,my ram passes memt32 allthough i havent run that for more than one hour .Im stuck atm and have no clue what to do or try next,i know my ram isnt highend ,could that be holding me back ? Or perhaps the psu ?
Just guessing here and ive tried raising the vcore voltage slightly with the same results,also 4 different bios-updates.Dont know what to look for,wich part i need to change for upping my chances to reach 3ghz.Hope some of you can assist somewhat,thanks in advance.

Sydney Opera House
Issued Tuesday, 7 February 2006
Set within an eight-metre square cage, the performance and projections take place on the walls, ceiling and floor. A daring and provocative work, Honour Bound, which takes its title from the words written above the gates at Guantanamo Bay, is about some of the most important issues we face as a society: law and order, hatred and love, humanity, and human beings pushed beyond their limits.
Nigel Jamieson has been Artistic Director of some of the world's most enthralling large-scale productions creating spectacular moments such as 400 Cambodian monks chanting in Angkor Wat, the unforgettable Tin Symphony during the Opening Ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympics and the closing ceremony of the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games. Honour Bound develops and further extends techniques Jamieson began exploring in such previous productions as All of Me and Homelands for Legs on the Wall. With this work, he has sought to develop an intense physical and aerial language, integrating live performance with projected film and imagery to explore issues like family dynamics (All Of Me) and the experience of migrants and refugees, transposed on to a 100 metre vertical wall (Homelands).
Garry Stewart, Artistic Director of Australian Dance Theatre, is renowned for the intense physicality of his work and exploration of bodies pushed to their physical and emotional extremities. This makes him the perfect collaborator for Nigel Jamieson on Honour Bound.
Honour Bound has its world premiere at Sydney Opera House on August 2, 2006 and opens at the Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne on 15 September.

But really, who out there has the resources to create such? I'm sure the processing power to do all that would be insane. It'd sound awesome, but just wouldn't be feasible as the market for such is so small there would probably be no income after one considers operational expenses.
Oh well.
Er...not really. Effects functions are so computationally small that the hardware needed would be extremely inexpensive to design. Hell, try to add a reverb filter to a 10 second clip in soundforge, watch how long it takes for even the most complex reverb functions. A fraction of a second. Now imagine trying to do it with even smaller segments of audio, in lengths best measured in single miliseconds. Now imagine doing it with a processor that has sinusoidal functions built into the silicone which require even fewer clock cycles to perform than your CPU even. You could easily handle more simultaneous sound effects than EAX 5 even accepts on some pretty cheap hardware.
The main reason nobody else does this is because creative has essentially become a patent clearing house. Look what happened with aureal. Even though aureal won the lawsuit against creative, the legal costs drove them out of business. This is why nobody wants to challenge creatives patents. Look at the sh*t that John Carmack had to go through just to get D3 out the door because he was "stepping on" creatives patents. Creative is mostly just a patent clearing house these days.

Their tech has been used in just about every game made since... Forever!
It is better, namely because the latency is guaranteed to be lower if done in software.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Doug Gorman
Just a month ago, the jury was still out when it came to figuring out how successful the Eagle's Landing Christian boys basketball team was going to be in 2010-11.
The squad was still awaiting the arrival of nine football players who in were in the middle of the team's best season in school history, a 12-1 record and a trip to the quarterfinals of the Class A playoffs.
It's unmatched football success was a joyous occasion for the school community, but deepened the mystery of just how quickly those missing players could switch out of their football mode into a basketball mentality.
Add to the equation new coach Jay Covington was still trying to put into place his new up-tempo game plan, and there were plenty of questions surrounding the basketball version of the Chargers.
In the first game after the football players returned, the Chargers blew a 12-point lead to Union Grove and lost to the Wolverines 79-72. It was a clear sign the two-sport athletes weren't in basketball shape.
ELCA also lost 68-61 to Henry County.
Now things look much brighter for the Chargers.
ELCA is off to a 9-2 start. Victories include a 73-70 win over Starr's Mill.
The team received a huge confidence boost when it won the Oneonta Holiday Classic in Alabama just days after Christmas, putting together four straight wins against teams from all over the South.
"You kind of saw football shape and basketball shape were two different things," Covington said. "We like that up-tempo game and it has taken us a little while to come together, but that is why that tournament was so important to us. It got us out of our element and away from outside distractions. It was a great team building time."
Senior Scott Barlow loves the new coach's style of play.
"We all adjusted to it quickly," he said. "We love that style of play."
Alex Williams, one of the football players who returned to the basketball team after the school's successful season on the gridiron, said the tournament showed him a couple of things.
"It was great to win it, but it also really helped us come together and bond," he said. "We really didn't know how everybody played. That tournament made us realize what everybody could do. We started out slow, but now things are starting to pick up."
The Chargers returned from the Christmas break with a one-point win on Tuesday, beating Locust Grove 59-58.
ELCA has now won eight of its last nine games and six in a row.
The last month is a sign ELCA is starting to buy into Covington's fast paced brand of basketball--bring the ball up court quickly and get back on defense, force turnovers and start the process all over again.
So far, it's working. The Chargers are outscoring opponents 65 to 53 through their first 11 games.
Covington took over for long-time coach Buck Hunter and the transition has been smooth. Hunter was not a full-time employee of ELCA and the school decided to go in a different direction.
Hunter now serves as an assistant coach on Curt Miller's staff at Ola.
One of the reasons might be Covington was already part of the school community.
The math teacher served as an assistant football coach when he first came to the school, and all the players knew him.
"It's been exciting," said senior shooting guard Taylor Echols. "He knows basketball. He loves basketball. The expectations are definitely high for us right now."
Senior Matt Rochell, who is expected to head to the Air Force Academy, knows his future is in football, but he's excited to help contribute to the team's basketball success.
"It was great that we could go out there and win all four games, it was great to see the football and basketball guys come together," Rochell said.
Covington grew up around basketball and brought coaching experience to the job. However, he had been away from the game for a couple of seasons.
Now he is glad to be back.
"I didn't realize until I had those first few practices how much I missed being around the game," he said.
Friday night the Chargers play at Strong Rock Christian. The Patriots are in just the first year of GHSA competition, but the private school in Locust Grove could become ELCA's biggest rival in a few years.
"We look forward to playing them. You never know what will happen," Covington said. "We think is will be a really good rivalry down the road."

Cooking Competition Will Decide Delta's Next Chef
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Yesterday, The New York Times announced that Delta Air Lines and Food & Wine "have joined forces" to host a cooking contest entitled "Cabin Pressure Cook-Off," which will determine the next chef who will join the airline's culinary advisory crew.
Chefs competing in the competition are all members of Food & Wine's best annual chef program and include Atlanta chefs Hugh Acheson and Linton Hopkins, Kelly English (who owns restaurants in Memphis and St. Louis), and George Mendes from New York.
The chef competition will happen in three parts that are sent to be filmed in New York in late July and early August, and will be promoted later this fall by both Delta and Food & Wine on their respective websites and social media outlets.
The winning chef will join Delta's existing culinary team that currently includes chef Michelle Bernstein of Miami, Michael Chiarello (who has restaurants in both Napa Valley and San Francisco), and master sommelier Andrea Robinson. The winning chef will consult with Delta on menus for flights departing Atlanta.

Hafkey Chosen First Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University rower Kara Hafkey (So., Mesa, AZ/Glencoe HS, OR) has been named First Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VIII on the College Division women's at-large team, as selected by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Hilary Andrus (Jr., Chimacum, WA/Chimacum HS) was selected for the Second Team. Hafkey and Andrus were two of 23 athletes in a variety of sports who were chosen for the Academic All-District Team.
Athletes named First Team All-District are eligible for the ESPN The Magazine College Division Academic All-America Team. The list of All-America selections is scheduled to be released on June 11.
Hafkey competed as the stroke on Willamette's varsity lightweight eight+ and was 2-seat on the second varsity eight+. The WL8+ was ranked 18th in the nation on May 20 based on points in the U.S. Rowing Poll for all three NCAA Divisions and club teams. Hafkey is majoring in Spanish and Psychology and owns a 3.95 cumulative grade point average.
Andrus, the co-captain of the Bearcat women's rowing team, recently was named First Team All-America by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA). She is majoring in Mathematics and has a 3.61 GPA.
This summer, Andrus will participate in two U.S. Rowing Women's National Team Pre-Elite Camps in Indiana. She was named All-Northwest Collegiate Rowing Conference this season after helping the Bearcats tie for second place in the women's team standings at the NCRC Championships.
Willamette's WV8+ concluded the regular season with a #9 national ranking in the NCAA Division III Poll conducted by the CRCA. The WV8+ also was selected for the NCAA Championship Regatta and took third place in the Petite Qualifier, before placing fifth in the Petite Final to finish 11th overall.
CoSIDA District VIII includes colleges and universities in the western United States. Players nominated for the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team were starters or key reserves with cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher (4.0 scale). Each athlete was at her current college or university for at least one academic year.
The College Division includes athletes in NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and the NAIA. Willamette is a member of NCAA Division III and competes in the Northwest Conference. Athletes were eligible for the women's at-large team if they competed in bowling, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, rowing, skiing, swimming, tennis or water polo.

Eye-eye skipper, you're in the Top Ten!
Posted: February 19, 2013|
The octopus has topped a poll of favourite species at Torquay's Living Coasts, and the eye-popping mudskipper is a hit as well!
Staff and volunteers voted for their Living Coasts top ten - and the results make interesting reading.
Alongside the obvious crowd-pleasers like the penguins and seals, staff have highlighted the variety of unusual species at Torquay's coastal zoo and aquarium. Spokesman Phil Knowling said: "It might surprise people who think Living Coasts is just about birds, because the top ten is made up of four marine species, three bird species, two mammals and a reptile!"
After the octopus came macaroni penguin and fur seal. African penguin and bank cormorants were the only other birds on the final list. Otter and leopard gecko featured, as did puffer fish, upside down jellyfish and mudskippers. Just outside the top ten were four-eyed fish, Inca terns and seahorses.
"A total of 99 votes were cast. We had votes for 22 different species, including 8 marine species and 11 sorts of bird," said Mr Knowling.
Living Coasts keeper Lee Mach explained two of his choices: "Octopus are beautiful and smart with great personalities – they're mischievous as well as mysterious."
Lee also voted for seahorses: "It's amazing how such an elegant and fragile creature can survive in the sea."
Educator Mark Hancock added: "I voted for upside down jellyfish because there is a great story to tell about them – the symbiotic relationship between the jellyfish and the algae that live within. And bank cormorants, because of the great conservation message, their great displays - and they are fun when they come to the penguin feed!"
Living Coasts is marking its tenth birthday with a series of events themed around the number ten. Visitors will be able to vote for their own top ten Living Coasts animals during February half term.

Tar Heel icon to preach persistence at Sanford Small Business Banquet
Anyone who wants to support local businesses while also brushing shoulders with one of the most famous point guards to ever dribble a basketball will have the chance Thursday night.
The annual Small Business Banquet, hosted by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, will begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center, featuring food, entertainment and guest of honor Phil Ford.
Ford starred at UNC in the 1970s running Dean Smith's famous "Four Corners" offense, won an Olympic gold medal while a sophomore and held the school's scoring record for decades until Tyler Hansbrough overtook him in 2008. He was the second overall pick in the NBA draft and was the league's Rookie of the Year in 1979.
He later served as an assistant coach for NBA teams as well as the Tar Heels, winning a National Championship with his old school in 1993.
Ford doesn't have experience as a business leader, but Chamber of Commerce President Bob Joyce said he still will have a meaningful message to deliver.
"We certainly want to honor him for his basketball skills, but I think he has a lot to say to the entrepreneurs in our community about persistence and stick-to-it-ness," Joyce said. "... I remember his freshman year, he had some disastrous games. And people forget he was just an 18-year-old kid playing among giants. But he persisted and become a star, an All-American, under Dean Smith."
Persistence is what the local business scene needs right now, Joyce said. Small businesses employ half of Americans and produce half of the country's economic output, he said, but they haven't rebounded from the recession quite as well as larger corporations.
"The next few years in Sanford are going to be good because of where we're located and what's going on around us ... but I think we've got maybe a few more months of really tough work," Joyce said. "And I think that's the message that Phil will bring: When the sky's dark, how do you get up and go at it?"
To buy tickets to the Thursday's banquet, visit the Chamber of Commerce office at 211 S. Steele St. or call (919) 775-7341. Tickets are $20 each.

Finally got around to starting the write up for my quadcopter :)
bought most of the parts from hobbyking:
the frame:
The motors:
The ESC's:
Camera tx/rx:
Decided to make my own electronics. A small 4 layer board for the quadcopter, with accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, GPS, pwm drivers etc. I also made a board with a small LCD touchscreen attached for use in the controller. This also has GPS, accelerometer, and compass.
The Quadcopter uses the same ARM chips I have used before,
The quadcopter has dual front cameras, I was vaugely thinking to make a program to use the oculus rift for 3D fpv, but i'm not sure I will ever get around to it :) I was also thinking I could include the head tracking feature of the rift to move the cameras :)
The controller:
Cool, I wasn't able to dig
Cool, I wasn't able to dig up much on bIDE but I recomment getting an STlink JTAG debugger for $25 (at least thats what they used to cost) and getting up and running with hardware debugging, its bliss to have once you're debugging a large project.
Wow, you've packed a lot of
Wow, you've packed a lot of cool stuff in this project. Have you flown it yet?
What kind of packets do you send with the XBee? How many channels and how many bits per channel? How frequently are packets sent?
I have a couple of robot remote projects and one uses a XBee for communication. Even thought the joysticks are read with a 12-bit ADC, I'm only sending 8-bit position data. But I haven't used my either of my DIY remotes to control anything flying (except a small RC helicopter controlled with a Wii Nunchuck).
I'm curious about your long antenna. Do you have a coaxial cable inside leading up to a short antenna at the very top? One thing I've noticed with many 2.4GHz systems is the antenna size is almost always the same. If a transmitter has a long antenna, it really means there's a wire running up to the short antenna. Have you done any tests to compare your long version against a short antenna?
If/when you get the 3D cameras working, you might want to try increasing the distance between the cameras. Our depth perception is really limited to about 30 feet since object farther away than 30 pretty much look the same with either eye. If you increase the distance between the cameras, you'll increase the depth perception but at the expense of the scene looking real. With increased separation between the cameras, the observed seen will like like it's a miniaturized version (but it should still look really cool).
Interesting project, cool to see you made a zigbee controller for it. I'm curious if you're going to run something like FreeRTOS on the STM32 (I'm assuming STM3420 is a typo).
Hope to find out more about it :)
Some things I hope to see (in case you're interested):
- current state of the project
- software architecture and code (ideally via online repository)
- what tools/IDE you're using for development (I'v mostly used CooCox w/ an STlink-v2 for JTAG)
- and of course a video of it tearing around

Bryan police are investigating a report of human remains at a vacant property.
According to police, they received a tip late last week about human remains buried in the 600 block of East 24th Street. Bones were located there.
The tip was that the remains had been buried at the location since the late 1960s.
It has yet to be determined whether the remains are human. Authorities will now work to figure out if a crime has taken place.

University of New Mexico
Game Notes Vs. New Mexico State
Oct. 5, 2013
The Lobos scored first for the second straight game and the fourth time in five games this season on Kasey Carrier's 1-yard run in the first quarter.
The Lobos rushed for 541 yards, the fourth highest total in school history. They surpassed the 300-yard mark for the third time in five games this season and for the 13th time in Davie's 18-game tenure at UNM.
New Mexico also had 608 yards of total offense, the 15th best day in its history. The yardage was the most since UNM had 633 yards at Utah in 2003 and the most at home since a 620-yard output vs. Air Force in 2001.
New Mexico's 66 points against New Mexico State were the most in the rivalry since it scored 66 in 1982 (a 66-14 UNM win over NMSU). The 66 points also tied the most in the Bob Davie era (66 in the season opener last year vs. Southern).
UNM's 42 first-half points were a season high and seven points short of the school record (49 vs. San Diego State in 2008).
Davie is the first Lobo coach to win his first two games against New Mexico State since Joe Lee Dunn (1983-84).
Five different UNM players rushed for touchdowns.
RB Kasey Carrier scored three touchdown runs in the first quarter (1, 1 and 11 yards), which gave him a team-leading eight TDs on the season. He recorded his 10th career 100-yard rushing game, finishing with 126 on 14 carries.
QB Cole Gautsche had his third 100-yard rushing day of the season and threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to WR Carlos Wiggins in the third quarter, for his career-high third TD pass of the season. Gautsche had a team-high 127 rushing yards. He threw for and ran for a TD in for the second straight game.
WR Carlos Wiggins scored on a 33-yard pass reception in the third quarter, his fifth TD scored in his past two games. He had 217 all-purpose yards (127 return, 57 rushing, 33 receiving).
WR Ridge Jones' 15-yard reception in the second quarter was a career long.
RB Demarcus Rogers scored on a 16-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, his first rushing TD since last season vs. Texas Tech on Sept. 15.
RB Crusoe Gongbay's 1-yard scoring run in the second quarter was his second rushing TD this season.
RB Teriyon Gipson had a career-high five rushes for 27 yards.
QB David Vega played in his first career game and had an 18-yard run.
RB Jhurell Pressley scored his first rushing of the season on a 29-yard run in the fourth quarter.
RB David Anaya had a career-long 51-yard run in the fourth quarter.
OLB Tevin Newman made his first career start and made his first career interception in the first quarter, returning the ball 26 yards to the NMSU 11.
DE Brett Bowers had three first-half sacks to give him five on the season. The three sacks were one short of the school record. He also forced a fumble in the third quarter that teammate SaQwan Edwards recovered at the NMSU 15.
CB SaQwan Edwards' fumble recovery was his third this season. He also recorded his first career interception in the fourth quarter, stopping an Aggies red-zone possession.
SS David Guthrie had a career high eight tackles to lead the Lobos.
LB David Orvick tackled NMSU RB Brandon Betancourt for a 1-yard loss in the first quarter for his first career TFL.
Special Teams
KR Carlos Wiggins' 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown – the first of his career – was the team's first since Chase Clayton's 98-yard return for a score vs. Texas Tech on Sept. 15, 2012. It was UNM's first 100-yard return since Myles Daughtry's 100-yard return vs. UTEP on Oct. 2, 2010.
K Justus Adams converted nine more extra points to extend his school record to 65 in a row. His 33-yard field goal in the third quarter was a season long.
P Ben Skaer recorded a 53-yard punt in the third quarter, his fifth of 50 yards or more this season and 41st of his career.

May 24 2011
I've grown roses off and on for awhile, and between Black Spot and the other maladies that kept creeping in and causing me rose-related angst–not to mention the fact that the males in my family killed a couple of my favorite rosebushes by peeing off the porch one spring a few years ago (never mind)–I had all but decided that what time I had to devote to growing things on our homestead, I would rather spend growing food. Preferably in an area nowhere near our porch.
Sorry to say pee and food in the same sentence. It happens sometimes.
Enter: Knockout Roses. They're brilliant. What you're seeing here are buds getting ready to burst open with the most brilliant blooms imaginable…and they'll continue busting out all over from spring to fall. They're prolific, they're drought tolerant (more so than normal roses), they're disease resistant (I haven't lost one leaf of any of my Knockout bushes to disease. Not one.) and they're happy.
The downside is that there isn't much of a color variety to choose from. For this standard Knockout Rose, you're pretty much bound to this bright reddish-magenta color, though when your plants are wigging out with blooms, it really doesn't matter what color it is. At that moment, you're just glad you live on a planet where such a rose exists.
(I believe there are newer varieties of the Knockout Rose–possibly a pink and a yellow choice–but I haven't veered from this original yet.)
I won't be going back to regular roses anytime soon. While I'd love to have a rose garden with varieties of bloom size and color, these babies do the trick and free me up to tend to my vegetables instead of fighting to protect my roses from disease.
Check 'em out at your local garden center or nursery! It's a pretty foolproof way to enter the rose growing world.
And now.
Asparagus. See you in a couple years!
Potatoes. See you in a few weeks!

I have the yellow knock outs- and love them.. they turn a pale white as the start to die off..
CheyAnne On Saturday, June 18 at 10:45 pm
I do too, have the yellow one and I just love it. The yellow is just this buttery, lemony, sweet smelling spot of sunshine. I still have it in it's store pot (I know; bad, bad girl) just so I can enjoy it out my front door. We live in construction right now and I really want this one where I can enjoy it the most. I even did a little watercolor painting of mine and posted about it on my NewMexicoMtnGirl weblog http://newmexicomtngirl.com/2011/06/12/more-painting-less-surfing/ with a pretty sweet photo of this rose as well.
I really want the pink one now too.
peace n abundance,
Tracee On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:14 pm
I know – I know!! I planted my asparagus this year and never in my life have I wanted time to fly by to go out and pick my very own asparagus and plenty of it! And oh for those cream peas and potatoes this early summer ! Can't wait. Wonderful looking burgers also
Meryl On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:15 pm
I keep thinking of planting a hedge of these. I can tell you from experience that the yellow is lovely–have you tried growing them in the shade though?
Kim in MD On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:19 pm
Meryl- the yellow Knock Outs are gorgeous! Roses need at least 6 hours of sun a day, so I don't think they would be happy in the shade. They like well drained soil and lots of sun!
Lana On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:23 pm
Mine only get about 2 hours of sun and are doin quite well.
Teri On Wednesday, June 1 at 1:46 pm
Meryl – Mine are only in morning sun and have abundant amounts of flowers! I'm in Zone 7.
Cary On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:16 pm
THey do come in red, pink, blush, white, double pink, and double red. There is a gorgeous apricot-y looking color that is in the works…can't wait until it is available as well!
Kim in MD On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:17 pm
I love Knock Out roses! They really are the only way to go for no maintainence roses! I have them in hot pink and yellow! They are gorgeous!
Homeschool on the Croft On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:18 pm
I wouldn't have known asparagas… ever. Does it take a couple of years to grow then? Does that mean it'd have to be left out over the winter?
The flowers look lovely, though sadly there's not much chance of them surviving here
They are lovely though, and brighten your day, I reckon
Kitten with a Whisk On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:19 pm

Megan C. On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:19 pm

We already have tomatoes on our plants.
Grandma Cindy On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:57 pm
So do we! I'm hoping we'll be able to wait for them to ripen… and not pick them green and fry them up.
Love the roses! I did know the asparagus plant but not the potato. My grandmother used to plant asparagus in the back of her flower bed. The "ferns" are quite lovely when they're big. Of course you have to cut the plant down to the ground to get them to produce. We love asparagus!
Barefeet In The Kitchen On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:22 pm
I'm thinking that I need to just plant some knockout roses. Ours started strong and are looking mighty sad these days. YAY for asparagus! It takes forever, but how exciting to finally harvest it. We are thinking about planting some next time.
carolinaheartstrings On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:23 pm
These roses are a little more expensive, but so worth the money. I love mine. I keep adding them as I can. Great plant.
Pam D On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:27 pm
So funny… I was doing a photoshoot last night at a home, and they had masses of roses. The gentleman informed me that they were knockout roses; I had never even heard of them before. Today, you do a post on them. Isn't that a little crazy? They really are lovely…
Jane Duncan Murray On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:27 pm
I have 2 Knock Out bushes. Or lets say, did have. The caterpillars ate one completely up. It was gone 2 days after I noticed a few caterpillars around my garage door. It was kinda pale pink. SO, I'm on the look out for yellow. Hard to come by in my neck of the woods.
Teri On Wednesday, June 1 at 1:49 pm
Jane – I planted knockouts last summer, so this is my first spring with them. I don't even have trees near the bushes, and caterpillars got to them too! I'm not too keen on using insecticides, but I had to do something, i was watching them steadily chomp all my buds! I bought Seven powder, and it worked! Use it sparingly, and only when you see the caterpillars start. I don't use regularly as directed.
Megan On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:28 pm
Wow, I guessed correctly! I was too worried my guesses were way off to comment yesterday.
On the roses note… the house we're renting came with a very well-established rose plant. Right now it is going bonkers!
ChristyLouLou On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:35 pm
The knock outs are so pretty. My grandmother used to grow them on the ranch. She would always cut the full blooms to set on the table for dinner and then place the petals under my grandfathers pillow at night. She said it helped him sleep. Once they moved to town after the ranch sold due to my grandfather's accident (drunk driver hit him coming into town over 40 years ago), she never grew again. I had forgotten about that type of rose until now. Thanks Ree for jogging such a wonderful memory of my grandparents. I may have to plant some roses in her honor….if it isn't too late in the season.
Alan @ it's not work, it's gardening! On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:40 am
The Knock Out roses were only introduced in 2000. Your grandmother must have been growing something that looks similar but it wasn't in the Knock Out family.
The only problem with the Knock Outs and many other modern varieties is lack of fragrance — unless some of the newer members of that family have some.
There are many other roses that are very low-maintenance — Knock Outs aren't the only option!
Lisa Power On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:36 pm
Instead of throwing out over-ripe banana's (unless you're making banana bread), place them at the base of your rose bushes. It gives them much needed potassium. I didn't know that until about a year ago when my neighbor, who has beautiful roses, told me about it. After a season of bananas, my rose bush is very purdy. :0)
Theresa in Alberta On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:12 pm
Silly question, but with or without the peel???
I am going to try it!
AmandaC On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:16 pm
As if! Ree's got a banana phobia.
I have 10 of the original knock out rose bushes. I love them – it's a reliable splash of color that needs no attention, which is wonderful for me b/c I'm already sick of gardening by mid-June. I left one alone, never gave it any attention and it was 6'x7′ before I cut it back (finally) this spring. I also love that they don't drop their leaves in the winter (at least not here in WV).
Krystal On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:38 pm
You should look into David Austin roses. They are very, very hardy and they have lots to choose from. I have owned many and love them. As it turns out I like the way they look much better then tea roses and they are a lot easier to care for.
Sherrie Ann On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:39 pm
That asparagus plant looks a lot like the chile pequin pepper plants we have down here in S. TX!
Sue L. On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:41 pm
THANK YOU for the tip on the knockout roses. I've wanted to try them again, but have not found any hardy enough to withstand Michigan weather. We'll see if they do the trick.
Totally fooled me on the potatoes. I had not seen the variety with a pinkish flower on it. The ones we grew always had white flowers.
Barb On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:31 am
Sue, these are great and carefree. I have one in mid-Michigan growing out in an unprotected spot and it does great. I think they thrive on lack of attention. I never do anything to protect it, just prune out a little in spring.
Cheryl @ The Farmer's Daughter On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:42 pm
I adore Knockout roses. Not only are they pretty but so low maintenance that even I can grow them. Love the newer double Knockouts. I have four new ones to plant as soon as this crazy weather in Missouri allows me to. Hope everyone stays safe that is in severe weather zones for this afternoon and tonight!
Kirsten is Comfortably Domestic On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:03 pm
Amen to staying safe. I seem to have a knack for killing everything that I plant, but I've been thinking of trying these roses. Glad to hear that they do so well.
Liz On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:42 pm
I got my first KnockOut for Mother's Day and I love it! The blooms were a very pale pink and have since died off. I can't wait to see what they look like once they bloom in full again!
collette On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:43 pm
I had no idea it took so long for asparagus to mature. No wonder it costs so much! Maybe they will come up with a knock-out asparagus that will grow faster and reduce the price?? Maybe we can get more asparagus then! I like to think outside of the box!
Pam On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:43 pm
Knock Out roses are gorgeous! I've had trouble the last couple years with curculio bugs munching the buds before they open. Hopefully, heavy spraying this year will keep them at bay.
Danielle G On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50 pm
I love roses! I recently grabbed a Sunny Knockout Rose. It's yellow (my favorite) and apparently the only fragrant Knockout Rose. It smells wonderful. It's definitely my favorite plant purchase this year.
LinhC On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:30 pm
I was just about to say that the only downside to Knockout roses is that they don't have a smell. I'll have to see if my local nurseries have the Sunny knockout roses. Thanks!
Colleen On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:54 pm
Love Knockout Roses! We have light pink in our front yard, but I have some rebel blooms that come out hot pink My only enemy is Japanese beetles, but I'm hoping to not wage that battle this summer. We've found that cutting them back in late fall, early winter helps and they look beautiful every spring.

I just dead-headed my knockouts this morning. They do great even here in our "just north of Houston" heat and humidity.
Thank you and Amen.
NanaBread On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:56 pm
Dang it! I tried to be bold and guess dill and black-eyed peas, and I was WRONG! Oh, well. At least I have my gorgeous hot pink knock-out roses as a consolation prize. Oh, and I'm growing a pineapple! Seriously… my 6 year-old pineapple plant has sprouted a 6″ baby pineapple this summer. And I have banana trees and a lime tree. So all is not lost.
Tammi On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:58 pm
I have 5 double knock-outs in my front landscaping and I love them! Definitely give the doubles a try! The yellow ones are really pretty, too.

We planted a couple of the red-pink ones in the back last year and heck yea, even I haven't killed 'em. A few days ago, I bought the new 'double pink' Susan B. Komen variety. They're more a light pink. I hope they bloom as well as the red-pink ones do (and survive my poor horticultural skills!) I'll let y'all know how it goes!
Nancy Hooper On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:11 pm
Does anyone know if pesky deer will stay away from Knockouts?
Tammi On Wednesday, May 25 at 5:49 pm
Usually. My grandmother has several knockouts and many deer and, so far, they haven't bothered them.
Giovanna On Thursday, June 9 at 1:10 pm
When I lived in Georgia, the deer never bothered my knock-outs but would always "mow down" my hostas. Love knock-out roses. Around late summer, sometimes, they would get eaten up by beetles but a little always Seven cured that.

We've had Knock Out Roses since they first became available to the public. Love em! They bloom year round in our area. We had some problems with aphids last year but a purchase of a batch of ladybugs took care of that! No other problems at all!
Sally On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:22 pm
I agree, Knock-Out Roses are wonderful. They grow here in Southern Illinois and are not bothered by the excessive humidity, or any other weather problem we might have. Mine are now in full bloom and will continue to bloom until November. They are just amazing.
Claudia from Idiot's Kitchen On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:24 pm
Knock Out Roses will even grow in the Tropics of Florida. They require no pruning unless they get out of control (like they do in the Tropics of Florida). When that happens you can just whack them back and they'll burst forth with new growth in no time. Whoever invented them should be a medal.
Lana On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:25 pm
I found you can make them quite sick if you mulch with pine bark. Removed the mulch and they started looking better in only a few days.
Lisa On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:26 pm
Knockout roses are beautiful, but have no rose scent. The are recently developed and not all horticulturalists even consider them real roses.
I Live in an Antbed On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:36 pm
We are trying to keep several pink Knock-Outs going until they can become established. We are in the middle of a catastrophic drought combined with scorching winds and so many of our plantings are suffering. We were able to get one of the Knock Outs established last year and it is doing well now. If these can live long enough to become established, they should be okay, too. Praying for rain!!!!! There is a big fire just west of us right now and the winds are horrific.
Natalie V2 On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:47 pm
I love the hope and confidence that must come when planting asparagus… I am not there yet, but some day I will settle down and plant those beauties… those long-term commitment lovers!

Wait, so it's a pretty plant that I don't need to babysit? Excellent!
Theresa in Alberta On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:13 pm
I will stick with my Hardy roses here in cold northern Alberta….but those a very pretty.
Lindie On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:14 pm
oops! It's been about 20 years since I grew potatoes! But I did recognize the asparagus and that's been about 20 years too!
nancypants On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:27 pm
We just planted our first asparagus this year! So far we've planted rhubarb, asparagus, 3 tomato varieties, basil, kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, red and green bell pepper, cilantro, dill, 3 cucumber varieties, zucchini…. and blueberries. And there is more on the way! You'll have to have a "show off your garden post" sometime where we can send pictures of our gardens (before and after?!) We are making a pretty major transformation here. It's so fun!
Kim H On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:32 pm
I have about 35 rose bushes in my back yard, mostly David Austin English roses, but a few Knockout roses also. The Knockouts are the only ones that NEVER get black spot. Unfortunately, we are starting to have a problem with Japanese beetles in this area (Joplin, Mo) and they absolutely love the Knockouts! They didn't leave a leaf or a bud untouched last year. The beetles are only here a few weeks and the roses recover really quickly, they really are an amazing plant!
NancyH On Wednesday, May 25 at 10:21 am
Kim, if you are in Joplin, my thoughts and prayers are with you! Hope you are safe and sound!
Tiffany On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:34 pm
I just planted a knock out rose, so it's good to know they grow well. My favorite rose is a climber called New Dawn. Recommended by Southern Living, they said you couldn't kill it with anything. It grew down a picket fence, 20 ft or more. It was full of blooms in the spring and again in the fall, light pink fading to white. Gorgeous. Unfortunately, we left it at our old house.
Caseybumpinalong On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:35 pm
I had never heard of knock-out roses until this year, and now I'm seeing them everywhere, all over town, and they are gorgeous! We got our first ones here on the farm a few weeks ago – can't wait for the blooms! Glad to hear they've worked so well for you. I'm excited!
Kim L On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:56 pm
I have several of the yellow knockout roses and I love them!! They smell wonderful, the scent is more pronounced then the pink ones to me.
Eileen On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:07 pm
I have a ton of Knockouts — red, double-red, pink, and yellow.
Another great one of the same type of hardy bush rose is Carefree Wonder. It's GLORIOUS! Swoonworthy!
Shim Farm On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:10 pm
LOL…those were my guesses! I have 3 well-established asparagus beds on my farm, and they're worth the wait. I planted potatoes for the first time last year, from seed no less, and this year I'm hoping the tiny baby potatoes I planted will hopefully give me a decent crop.
The roses are gorgeous, but I'm not there yet! Still trying to rip out over-grown junk and maintain what I have before I'm at the planting stage…one day, one day, I keep telling myself!
Susan in MO On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:15 pm
Lovelovelove my knockout rose. And you can abuse the heck out them with pruning and they bloom all the more.
MaryBeth On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:23 pm
I have the light pink and yellow Knockout roses and I love them! They take wind, heat, and neglect.
Jennie On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:25 pm
About 20 years ago my husband and I ran into my high school sweetheart and his wife. We were living in the country then and my husband told them he'd always wanted to live somewhere he could pee off the back porch. ~sigh~ It felt a little like the When Harry Met Sally Surry With The Fringe on Top scene…
Jodi On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:29 pm
Thank you for the information! I have not had good luck with roses since we bought our home 5 years ago. The lady who lived here before me had no problem with roses. I will have to look into getting some of these. Love the magenta color!!
tiffv in kc On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:40 pm
I love my knockout rose bush- was sure I'd kill it off with my non green thumb but I ignore it and it does it's thing…beautifully!!! I'm gonna search for a yellow one now!
Kara On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:50 pm
Knock-Outs are part of a group of roses called Earth Kind Roses. Google Earth Kind Roses and you will get a site from Texas A&M and you can browse through the varieties. They are all drought & pest tolerant. They are easy, EASY, to grow. I have a "Climbing Pinkie", a "Fairy" and a "Seafoam".
I'd say, branch out Ree! Plant a whole rose garden filled with Earth Kinds!
Mawcee On Wednesday, May 25 at 3:41 pm
I would say, at least in my yard here in zone 7, Georgia, that Knock-outs are not resistant to Japanese Beatles. I dread these bugs/insects.
On another note, —before the beatles come and the knock-outs are forming their buds, try snipping off every other bud. They flourish all at once and fall off all at once. By snipping, you have blossoms all the time !
Mawcee On Wednesday, May 25 at 3:48 pm
Beetles not Beatles—as in Listen—Do you want to know a secret? !!
Sandie On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:51 pm
I have knock our roses and love them. HOWEVER Japanese Beetles also love them. Which I didnt know. I never had these beetles before I planted them. Now I can't get rid of them. Anyone have any ideas?
mary beth On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:54 pm
I have longed for a rose garden all my adult life, and we just planted some KnockOut roses this year and I'm loving them already. I think you may have to go to a big nursery rather than the box stores to find the yellow ones, I am on the lookout for them too. The world is a prettier place since they made their debut!
tina sappington On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:00 pm
I have an apartment balcony. Last year, my hubby and I went to the farmer's market to pick out plants for container gardening. When we were told that asparagus can take 2-3 years before you get stalks worthy of eating, I did not want to buy them. My hubby said, "baby, it is not always about instant gratification. We covered the plant thru the winter. I was for sure it was dead when I uncovered it, but I noticed the fresh green sprouts a couple of weeks ago! I'm so glad hubby made me get the plant.
City Girl to Country Girl On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:05 pm
I cant wait to see what the asparagus plant looks like in a few months! It looks so small! lol

Linnie On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:11 pm
We accidentally stumbled across the Knock-Out roses several years ago, and I love them. You just can't kill them and they're sooooo gorgeous!
Katie B On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:14 pm
There are also double knock out roses that look a lot like tea roses and are just as hardy as the regular knockouts. I have worked at a garden center for 8 years and there are very few complaints or dead returns on knockouts.
Julie On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:31 pm
I have to admit–I've been avoiding the Knock-Outs. I have no idea why, because as much as I love my roses–they look great for a month or two, and then the SC heat and humidity bring on the nasties…black spot, especially. Roses have always been a sentimental thing for me–my mom used to give me rose bushes, which I dug up and moved with me–and since she passed away in August, I'm so thankful to have those roses.
Still…I have seen those yellow Knock-Outs, and I'm thinking I might be off to the nursery to use my Mother's Day gift certificate for some yellow Knock-Outs! A girl can change her mind, right?!
Juli B On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:32 pm
I live in Indiana and our local Lowe's is carrying the yellow variety right now. They just got them in this week.
Phyllis On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:55 pm
I love knockout roses! Have you tried the double knockouts! The blooms are a lot fuller. We have them everywhere.
Bee D. On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:06 pm
What is it with men and peeing off a porch in the country? I have the same problem!
Susan H On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:18 pm
I too am in North Houston, but have had no time to dead head my roses. My knockouts are the double knockout reds. They go from a deep pink to red and are just so hardy. I have spent thousands of dollars over the last 30 years trying to get something to grow along the side of the garage – very shaded most of the day – I think I have found the solution. Three years ago I planted the knockouts and they are just thriving. They get whatever rain God gives them and whatever overspray from the sprinkler system on the grass and seem to do just fine. What a blessing – if you love azaleas as much as I do – you might look into the Encore azaleas – they bloom 4 times a year rather than once and are equally pretty.
Melanie Broderick On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:26 pm
I work at a nursery and you can have roses. I have a wonderful pesticide you attach to your hose. It's so much fun to spray. It's called Bayer Advanced, insect, disease and mite control. For use on trees, shrubs, and roses and flowers. One Quart covers up to 192 roses. Also cures and prevents diseases..highly effective against mites. It cost's around $23.00. It's awsome! Please let me know how this work's on your new colorfull Roses.
With love for the Rose,

i received 3 for mothers day for my east facing front flowerbed. it is so hot and dry here that i have been watering every other day…so far so good.
EG On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:54 pm
My KO rose looks fantastic right now! It's SO hearty, and you can prune the crap out of it and it'll come back strong. You can literally use hedge-trimmers. Brilliant!
Carol Davis On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:55 pm
Thank you for posting the pix of the potatos! My kids planted some and I had no idea what to look for when they grow, lol!
Lisa S. On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:17 pm
Flowers on your potato plants mean you can sneak new potatoes soon – mmmm…new potatoes!
From my spot in cold, dreary, unusually wet and rainy Montana where I am months away from the wonderful taste of new potatoes, I have to admit to a twinge of envy. But not too much.
Mama Jess On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:20 pm
We had placed an order last week for some knockout's, four bunches of each of their four colors offered, for our new house and got a call today…
The nursery we ordered from is in Joplin and our order will be delayed at least a week, to which I responded "my flowers should be the least of your worries and I'm not in that big of a hurry!"
I can't wait to see them in my new raised beds (thanks for the instructions PW)!!!
Hope On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:21 pm
I totally agree…love, love, love my knock-out roses but agree about he color choices. My first bloom of the year was today. Tons of buds on the horizon!

Bratfink On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:19 pm
I laughed so hard at the "the males in my family killed a couple of my favorite rosebushes by peeing off the porch one spring." This reminded me that when I was around 11 or 12 (over 40 years ago, OMG) a male dog from up the street (Rusty, a male German shepherd) killed a bunch of my mom's rose bushes she had planted alongside one side of our house. Otherwise, Rusty was a nice dog. When I was even younger and we lived in a different house, we had two ducks (Noah 1 and Noah 2, named by my brother) that ATE our neighbors roses, causing my parents to get rid of the ducks to keep the peace with the old people. Roses sure have a lot of enemies! Thanks for the laughs…. and the memories.
Vonda On Tuesday, May 24 at 11:03 pm
Love them too! I even hedged them like bushes this year and they are still amazing!
Linda T On Tuesday, May 24 at 11:34 pm
Wow! They really are a knockout! Love those roses.
YEA! I was RIGHT! Telephone man and I argued about the mystery plants. He said dill and sweet peas…nana-nana-naaa-na. Hope you and family have escaped those nasty storms the past few days. Nothing like watching mass destruction live on TV…
Pam S On Wednesday, May 25 at 12:29 am
Isn't that how men potty train their boys???? LOL I still complain about the loss of my rose bushes. Need to try KO roses, they sell them in this area but I am wondering if they will survive the middle of SD winter???? Oh and I started asparagus 2 years ago, and this year we are eating them, OMG!!!!!
WendyBee On Wednesday, May 25 at 12:46 am
I have a friend who is an experienced gardener; I always ask her advice. The only way to rid your roses from black spot, a common problem in the Pacific Northwest, is to buy strains of black spot resistant roses.
SarahLouWho On Wednesday, May 25 at 1:54 am
I LOVE our knockout roses! Other than one diseased one we're dealing with, they're pretty easy to maintain. And they make beautiful pictures! lol
Pleasanthome On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:01 am
I just wanted to mention that my knockout roses make BEAUTIFUL rose petal jam! Nothing like eating a bit of summer on your toast in the middle of a Minnesota snowstorm!
Urban Wife On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:23 am
So glad you found roses that are hardy! My mom had a lovely rose garden when we were growing up and I use to love going in and clipping blooms to put them in a bouquet. One time, I accidentally dropped the pruning shears on my foot and no, I didn't have shoes on. Let's just say, 15 years later I still have a scar and if I stretch my foot a certain, it still hurts. I don't know why I brought that up – sorry! Just a vivid association I have with roses, I guess. Good luck with the asparagus and potatoes!
karol miles On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:41 am
Knockout roses grow prolifically here in Savannah, I recently ( like 2 days ago recently) had my son-in-law to be someday in the future, pull my uglyshrubbery from the front of my house and we/he planted me 6 hot pink and 2 light pink knockout rosebushes…..at the nursery they even had some white ones….though a rose to my mind should be red or pink…..I am very accomplished at killing plants in my garden…so time will tell how hardy they actually are!!! Heres to roses!
yvonne On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:46 am
I planted 3 Knockout rose bushes last year and they have gone crazy this year! Big and beautiful! I hope they stay that way.
Skuba On Wednesday, May 25 at 7:12 am
I was just reading a brochure from our extension service that said that they no longer recommend that you wait two years to harvest your asparagus. It doesn't effect the yeald infact it will help the second year of harvests growth because it will put more growth buds on producing a heaver crop. It does mention that the harvest season would be shorter the first year you harvest. So you could be seeing that asparagus next year. Check out the link yourself http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1603.html
Kris On Wednesday, May 25 at 7:20 am
Knockout roses are the BEST! I've had them for several years, and they never disappoint! I cut them WAYYYY back in the fall, and they come back bigger and more beautiful every spring!
Boulder Locavore On Wednesday, May 25 at 7:32 am
Potatoes! Who knew? Well you did clearly. I had no idea they blossomed. Thanks for the lesson.
Tanya On Wednesday, May 25 at 7:41 am
Knock-outs are great! We have several and they're thriving. Another thought on roses….check out your local rose society. In our town, our rose society has an annual rose sale and a majority of the roses are cuttings from "antique" roses or the type that grow wild in your area. They require minimal work and the members can often give you a little history about the rose. We have one we've nicknamed "Teddy" because I was told that if you ever see a picture of Teddy Roosevelt with a rose in his lapel, this was the variety he used (it has a great scent).
We don't spray any of our roses and only fertilize and water (and of course cut the blooms for vases) and all of them are doing great!!
Lyn Pool On Wednesday, May 25 at 7:49 am
Another great variety that doesn't have any disease problems is "Old Blush". A trailing rose that smells heavenly. Georgeous pink color and hundreds of blooms at the same time. I'm sure you'd be able to grow it where you live as I live just north of Austin, TX.
Jan On Wednesday, May 25 at 7:54 am
Girl, I love the beauty of knock-out roses, but they just don't have enough frangrance for me! I like the ones that you get a whiff of when you walk past an open window!
Katie On Wednesday, May 25 at 8:24 am
K-O roses are my new favorite too! I landscape for my family and close friends…just for fun. I almost always include these beauties because of their hardiness and stunning color! And they bloom so long! Amazing!
Tressa On Wednesday, May 25 at 8:26 am
Another great rose that doesn't take any real care and lives through, well, most anything is the Fairy rose. I don't know if they come in other colors but mine is a light pink. I don't do anything to it or for it quite frankly, except to weed around it sometimes (sometimes those weeds get quite tall before the weeding happens lol). We raised a horse in our yard (whole 'nother story) one year and she decided to prune it back…….in a big way. It really went insane with growth and blooms the next year. The soil it is in is not good and I haven't done anything to improve it. The flowers are not big huge roses, they are clusters of smaller roses. If you look up Fairy Rose on the internet, you can see pictures. My mom's goats got in the yard and ate hers to the ground and it is coming back.
Monica On Wednesday, May 25 at 8:33 am
I killed my knock out roses. I don't know how but they are dead. Maybe I will try again this year.
Judy@In His Grip On Wednesday, May 25 at 8:42 am

Sarah McCaslin On Wednesday, May 25 at 9:06 am
We have 5 Knockout roses in our flower beds (SW Oklahoma) One of them is 4 feet tall and at least 5 feet across. We have to prune it like crazy every year or it will take over our entire porch. We originally bought them because of the name. When I was a kid my daddy told me stories about going to a little one room school house in the 1930's and it was called knockout. Makes me think of him everytime I see those roses in bloom!
G Wilson On Wednesday, May 25 at 9:07 am
What a fun coincidence – we just planted three of the yellow Knockout rosebushes this weekend! It's our first time trying them, and I can already sense that they'll be a big hit in our landscape.
Kristi On Wednesday, May 25 at 9:25 am
We live in TX and while most roses seem to do fine the Knockouts really, really thrive. Our one bush is just plain huge and keeps coming back bigger and better every year. Can't beat that! Think we need to try the yellow ones too

Plan II Honors Alum, Zach Heinzerling ('06), Nominated for an Academy Award
Winner of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival "Best Director Award"
Posted: January 30, 2014
Plan II alum, Zach Heinzerling (Plan II Honors and Philosophy, 2006), directed the documentary, Cutie and the Boxer, which is a nominee for the Academy Award in the Documentary category.
Heinzerling won the 2013 Sundance Film Festival "Best Director Award" for directing Cutie and the Boxer. The committee cited: "It's rare to see a film so beautifully crafted in all aspects. It captures the complex nature of love and art in a mesmerizing and deeply human way." The film was nominated for Grand Jury Prize for the film during the same festival.
Zachary Heinzerling's remarkable debut is an indelible portrait of art, companionship, and the 40-year love story between Ushio and Noriko Shinohara, two Japanese artists who meet and marry in New York in the early 1970s. Surviving decades of hardship, resentment, financial anxiety, thwarted aspirations, and Ushio's chronic alcoholism, they are a study in artistic symbiosis.
Now 80 years old and finally sober, Ushio is preparing a joint exhibit with Noriko, yet he still treats her as a de facto assistant. Ushio's mixed-media sculptures and "boxing" paintings, infused with chaotic energy, have brought notoriety—but rarely income. Meanwhile, Noriko, emerging from her husband's shadow, creates intimate comic-styled watercolor and ink drawings that tell the story—a muted empowerment fantasy—of their alter egos, Cutie and Bullie.
Skillfully photographed and crafted, Cutie and the Boxer moves fluidly between past and present, employing a vérité aesthetic, archival footage, and beautifully animated sequences of Noriko's drawings. Heinzerling seamlessly inhabits their space, observing its rhythms and textures, their complex dynamic, and the creative vitality that fuels their lives.same festival. from the Sundance Institute web site (http://filmguide.sundance.org/film/13063/cutie_and_the_boxer)

I'm about to head off to day 3 at the Stitches and Craft show, it's a beautiful sunny day and my stall has an incredible view over the racecourse to the city. I've been so busy over the last few days meeting so many people, crafters and bloggers. Thanks for saying hi, I love meeting people face to face after making acquaintance online.
The incubator section of the show (on level 4) is full to the brim of independent designers and it's been fabulous for me to spend time amongst them all. If you're in Sydney, do come in and say hello, there are so many interesting people and goodies around. I've taken a few pics and will upload them when I'm back in Melbourne next week.
Have a great day!
