Beth Gilthvedt writes about a patient who had "God Owns It All" on his personal checks.
God Owns It All
Several years ago I had a patient who had the line "God Owns It All" printed on his personal checks above his name and address. This patient was a member of a local non-denominational congregation. He told me about some of the mission activities he participated in, within and outside of his congregation, such as traveling to a homeless shelter to help families at Thanksgiving.
His family had an adopted biracial son who needed glasses. It was through the examination of the child that I met the father and saw his personal check when he paid for the glasses.
Unfortunately for me, the father, despite all his good ideas and works, was impatient and unhappy after his son's glasses broke twice from a manufacturer's defect. While we offered to extend the warranty on the child's eye wear and replace them at no charge, the father became angry and demanded a refund, which we gave him, and proceeded to go to another eye care provider. I have always regretted that I did not have further opportunity to get to know this person and discuss the top line on his checks.
I think that if I had the line "God Owns It All" printed at the top of my checks it might influence my thinking each time I wrote a check and therefore influence the management of the money represented by the checks. But I haven't remembered to have the statement printed on my checks when I have reordered them!

#solarpower #solarenergy #cleantech
As climate negotiators meet in Lima to discuss a new global climate deal that could limit warming to two degrees or less, we look at each of the issues in turn.
Here, we take a look at where the two degree target came from, and how it has ended up guiding international climate policy.

April 17th was the opening of the Senior Art Show in the Radford art studio. A good turn out for a Friday night with a start time of 5:30 pm. Show goers took in the work of the eight graduating seniors for the academic year of 2015. Congratulations to the senior on a show well done.
Movie posters and Graphic Design II
The latest set of movie posters are ready for publication. Each student in the ARTS 270 Graphic Design II class of Spring 2015 designed a poster. The posters were created entirely in Photoshop using their own images wherever possible.
Altered Reality with Photoshop – ARTS 170 Graphic Design I Fall 2014
The fall Graphic Design I class has completed their Photoshop "Altered Reality" Project. All start with the same set of images and combine five or more images to create a new "real" image. Enjoy.
A studio department gathering on a warm October evening
Students and faculty gathered for a a dinner at the picnic grounds—home of Duncan and Jane Martin—high above the Mississippi River on the bluffs for a picnic dinner. A warm breeze kept the ghosts in the trees moving and kept the fires glowing. Hot dogs, soup, chips and bread followed with cupcakes and smores. A great evening with a crescent moon looking over it all.

Either way, it was clear that Reagan was appalled at the impact of the Ford interview, in which the former president hinted strongly at his willingness to run with Reagan. Suddenly the convention was abuzz with excitement. Delegates waved seemingly homemade "Reagan-Ford" signs on national television.
Allen claims Reagan was upset over demands by Ford advisers that Henry Kissinger be guaranteed the role of secretary of state and Alan Greenspan, treasury secretary. Allen writes that he was with Reagan as he expressed horror over a "co-presidency" with anyone, but especially Ford. He initially recoiled at the prospect of selecting Bush as his running mate, whom he had been campaigning against just months earlier and had labeled a Republican "liberal."
Meese insists Bush had already been selected, but that the Ford interview forced Reagan to make a surprise trip to the convention hall that night to announce Bush as his running mate. Meese said Reagan did so to avoid delegates becoming disappointed over Ford not being on the ticket should that expectation continue past that night.
My best guess, knowing how this party has traditionally operated, is that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I don't doubt Meese when he says there was already an orderly process of evaluating potential VP candidates underway, and that Bush was toward the top. But I also believe Allen when he says Bush wasn't initially Reagan's first choice and that the Ford interview forced him to make a swift and perhaps different decision.
Either way, the story illustrates that Gerald Ford, from his service as a Republican member of the Warren Commission to his healing manner in the wake of Watergate, was a far more powerful force than most observers ever recognized.

The commentators should be embarrassed. Seriously. One of the worst commentated games I've ever heard.
I thought it was the St Louise Cardinals that played the Los Angeles Rams in Arizona yesterday.
They were horrible. It was frustrating the way the game was going and their bumbling of the names just made it worse...

If products manufactured in China are cheaper than comparable ones made in the United States, then we need to talk about what this means. Does it simply mean that we are part of a global economy and that we now have access to products from around the globe? Does it mean that American manufacturing of apparel has declined to the point that uniforms for an American team in an international event are more sensibly purchased elsewhere? If so, why? Are new industries coming along to replace the manufacturing of clothing in the U.S.? These are worthwhile questions and more germane to the core issue than charges that people are unpatriotic because they buy based on—of all things—price.
One suspectsthat Senator Reid's choler over the uniforms is more intense that it might ordinarily be, given that Democrats are striving to portray Mitt Romney as an outsourcer of jobs. Various independent sources have refuted the charge against Romney. But what is so wrong with a company, hard pressed by economic policies at home, hiring more affordable labor abroad? Democrats like to call these companies "Benedict Arnold Companies," as if they have committed treason. The better name might be "Charles Darwin Companies," because they seek to be fit enough to survive. If a company survives, it will continue to employ workers and provide profits for shareholders.
If the government were to adopt a territorial system of taxing companies that do business abroad, these companies might bring more of their operations home to the U.S.
But if hiring abroad is what it currently takes to keep U.S. companies afloat, policymakers should be trying to understand why that is and make changes so that employers have other options.
Government can't--and shouldn't try to-- prevent all job loss. Sometimes, painful as it is in human terms, economic sectors fail and go out of business. The answer for Democrats is being angry, blaming entrepreneurs and employers for recognizing economy reality, and propping up the politically-connected among these moribund industries. Some wag noted that, if President Obama had been around in the 1860s, we would still be subsidizing the Pony Express.
This faux outrage over the Olympic uniforms may play well in the Rust Belt, where manufacturing has been hard hit and which includes several must-carry states for President Barack Obama. But it is still dishonest. If we have to discuss these unattractive Olympic uniforms, let's discuss the government policies that make doing business abroad so attractive. Until then, I commend the U.S. Olympic donors for getting the best price they could—not easy when purchasing products from Obama financial backer Ralph Lauren!
But that's another story.

DETROIT — Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez gave Frankie Montas a not-so-pleasant introduction to being a major-league starter Wednesday at Comerica Park.
Four batters into Montas' first big-league start, Martinez cracked a two-run homer to right, and the rookie's day didn't get much better from there in the White Sox's 7-4 loss to the Tigers.
Montas gave up six earned runs on six hits with two walks and three strikeouts over three innings, a short outing because his first five appearances with the Sox were out of the bullpen.
"It's a tough lineup, an experienced group, and if you're not going to locate, you can get hurt by it," Sox manager Robin...

in response to MrBliss
The Sony RX-100 should be supported by Aperture 3.4.3 - it has been introduced with Raw Compatibility update 4.01 for Lion and Mt. Lion, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
In what way are the raw files not recognized? Can you not import them or not open files that you already imported? is it only aperture that cannot open the files, or also iPhoto?
Did the insatllation of the Compatibility Updates 4.01 really succeed and is your profile signature "Mac OS X (10.7.5)" correct? On some Macs this update failed to instll, because the system had the wrong build number, then it helped to patch the build number: see Re: digital camera raw compatibility update
MrBliss Jan 13, 2013 12:45 PM
in response to léonie
Thanks, Léonie, for trying to help.
The already imported files don't open.
Didn't open, I have to say: Now I see, I have to click on every single file and wait until it is transformed.
I am probably too impatient and Aperture is too slow. (As a professional photographer I would become crazy at that speed....)
Thanks anyway. It was good to learn that somebody cares in that community!

What is Radiology?
Radiology is a specialty of medicine that just about everybody in their life uses at some point. If you have ever broken a bone, had a baby, found a lump that has been investigated for cancerous cells or your child as swallowed something horrible you will have used radiological related equipment and expertise.
Radiology has been used for medical purposes for over a century and remains a cornerstone of medicine. It can be used for not only diagnostic but also therapeutic purposes. Physicians use the information gained through radiological imaging to diagnose, treat and monitor injuries and diseases.
Radiology is critical to advancements in medicine and therefore ultimately the care which hospitals can provide you, their patients.
Twenty-five years on the aims of the Trust remain steadfast in providing critical funding to such an important specialty of medicine. Demand for funding remains high and the Trust remains committed to supporting some of the most exciting research in the field.

Nice Guys Finish Last!
Mike Calder was fed up with women--that is, women who took him to the cleaners and then ran away with their ex-husbands. Vowing never to be left at the altar again, he made up a list of what he wanted in a woman. And this time, he damn well intended to follow it.
Single mom Angelina Winters knew the fun had just begun when her daughter, Lily, insisted on having a dog. Especially when she met the local veterinarian, rugged Dr. Mike Calder. For a while, Angelina thought she and Mike had a good thing going.... Until she saw his list and realized she scored a perfect zero!

I loved the little cat, but really didn't like the color,a greyish color. So I spray-painted it red. It looks GREAT in my garden, by my deck steps, welcoming visitors. It's small, so you'll want to place it among smaller plants for it to be in scale with them. I really, really like it, and will order more lawn ornaments in future. Since its symbols are carved-in, they still show with the new coat of paint.Read More
Cute statue, inaccurate size description
Nice looking little statue even though mine seems to be rather miniature in size compared with the description ( 10.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 /. the box it came in was about the size described, but not the statue itself ).

Hi Will,
The Adjustments Inspector shows you all of the currently applied adjustments. There may be other Adjustment Bricks showing -- the ones with a checkmark in the box at the upper-left are applied.
You can toggle any adjustment on/off by checking/unchecking this checkbox.
LR users are usually befuddled that there is no "history". What you see is the current state of the Image. All the adjustments you've made are contained in the Adjustment Bricks (whether they are being applied or not). The order in which the adjustments are applied is fixed. (It is because the order is fixed that a history of when _you_ applied each adjustment is meaningless.)
If you have used a Brush to create an adjustment mask, you will have to bring up the Brush HUD to show the mask. Click the Action Menu (a/k/a "the gear") icon and select from any of the selections that show you the adjustment mask.
In addition to toggling the application of an adjustment on/off, you can reset the adjustment to its default state, and you can remove the adjustment from the Image. Click the little curved arrow on the upper-right of the Adjustment Brick to return the settings to their defaults. Select the Brick, and press and release the "{delete}" key to remove the adjustment from the Image.
HTH. Recommend you read the first seven chapters of the User Manual -- they provide a thorough introduction to Aperture's UI.

In Lightroom, there's just one local adjustment tool, and I can click it and see all the little "dots" on the photo indicating where I've brushed on an adjustment. Is there a way to do something similar in Aperture?
To illustrate what Kirby said (I don't want to waste my screenshot ): - you can show overlays to outline the pixels where the adjustment has been applied - press the gear icon in the HUD to select an overlay type:
Here is the "Edge Sharpen" Adjustment and the corresponding mask:

in response to Kirby Krieger
Thank you for the quick reply Kirby, I really appreciate it. Trying to get some photos to a client this afternoon and was wondering about this issue.
Your answer makes sense and I do understand that Aperture ≠ Lightroom and vive la difference. I never made much use of the history feature in Lightroom, so I don't miss it.
Three follow-up questions.
First, it looks like there's just one brush per type of adjustment. For example, in Lightroom, I can use one adjustment brush to increase exposure on the bride's white gown and a second brush to decrease exposure in the groom's black suit. In Aperture, it looks like that sort of specificity isn't supported. Not a big deal: I'm also using the Nik plug-ins with Aperture and I can do that very selective sort of editing in the Nik apps. But I'm just asking if I'm missing something.
Second, with the retouch adjustment "brick": Looks like it counts the adjustments that have been made but doesn't allow me to edit them individually after the fact. In other words, say I've retouched 7 spots, then I decide I don't like what I did with #4, it looks like I can't just select #4 and delete it. I'd have to undo 7, and 6, and 5 and 4, then redo all of them. Am I right or wrong? Again, not a big deal. I love the Repair tool in Aperture!
p.s. What user manual? I have the digital download edition and I see online help but not a "manual" per se. I have Scoppetuolo's book on Aperture 3 (the first edition) and have gone through most of it. But I find most of Aperture very easy to understand so when reading I am afraid I've skimmed over some details that I should have read more attentively....

in response to léonie
Danke, Léonie!
My question, however, isn't really about seeing where a particular, single adjustment is applied. It's about how find one adjustment or another.
So in Lightroom, if I select the "local adjustment brush", it's a single tool which has a bunch of adjustment options applied to it, and when it's selected, I can see these little dots for all of the adjustments I've applied so far. I don't know what those adjustments are until I click on each one's dot (which would probably be frustrating to an Aperture user moving to Lightroom!) but I can at least quickly see where I've made local adjustments with the brush tool. For example, I might see a dot on the bride's dress, another dot on the groom's suit jacket, a third dot on the bride's bouquet, and a fourth dot on the groom's eye. From those dots I can usually guess that I lightened the dress, darkened the suit (or perhaps decreased contrast), increased saturation in the bouquet, and lightened the groom's eye wells (or perhaps sharpened them). In Aperture, I think I need to learn how better to interpret those adjustment "bricks".
I'm not trying to get Aperture to be Lightroom, just trying to understand how Aperture works in this regard!
Is there a keyboard shortcut for showing an overlay? That would be really helpful....
William Lloyd Jun 20, 2013 11:26 AM
in response to William Porter Solved
There's no way I know of to see all the brushes on the photo. Aperture brushes are different; they're per-adjustment brick and not all centralized in one area. Also, brushes have ONE adjustment; you can't apply 10 effects to the same brush.
There is no keyboard shortcut to switch between brush overlays, like the 'o' key in Lightroom. I sorely miss that. I would suggest you use Aperture's "send feedback" mechanism to suggest that. The more the merrier :-)
léonie Jun 20, 2013 11:59 AM

Hi Will,
Kirby explained, what is possible:
The Adjustments Inspector shows you all of the currently applied adjustments. There may be other Adjustment Bricks showing -- the ones with a checkmark in the box at the upper-left are applied.
You can toggle any adjustment on/off by checking/unchecking this checkbox.
You see the adjustments listed a bricks in the adjustment panel -and if you toggle them on an off by clicking on the checkmark, you see what they are doing and where they are applied, if you have multiple instances of the same adjustment.
You can create a kind of adjustment history by creating version stacks. If you prefer, Aperture can create new versions automatically, if you apply adjustments and stack the images, so that you only see the last version, but can browse earlier versions as well. You could change the version name to indicate the adjustment you added.

Thank you to Kirby, Léonie and William L. for your generous help. I just joined this forum today and, after spending some time perusing the online help for Aperture, I'll be coming back here to learn.
I've used Lightroom since the beta of version 1 and know it very well. I bought Aperture 3 some time last year when Apple dropped the price to an irresistible $75. My first many attempts to use Aperture ended in frustration because, well, because, although it resembles Lightroom, ultimately they work quite differently and I didn't "get" Aperture. About a month ago, somewhat accidentally, I decided I needed to figure Aperture out. And when I did (well, mostly) I discovered that I really like it. I wish it had even more keyboard shortcuts, but overall, I like it so much that, for the moment, I've decided not to upgrade to Lightroom 5 and instead to start doing my work in Aperture.
I hope Apple is serious about future development of Aperture. These days, we all kind of need regular updates to be reassured that the product hasn't been abandoned. But I can wait a little while longer since, for me, Aperture 3.4 is kind of a new product.
And William, I will take your suggestion to start sending feedback.
Thanks again to all of you for your help!

I checked Automator and AppleScript reference -- there is nothing there that (afaict) allows one any access to either the Brush HUD or any of the commands available from the Brush HUD. I also tried to get the commands by recording my actions with Keyboard Maestro -- nothing but the location of the click relative to the program window. Agree with William: "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
That said, one of the _brilliant_ aspects of Aperture (imho ) is the constant and judicious subordination of possibility under what seems to me to be this rigorous test: does this lead directly to _useful_ feedback? Aperture is almost always and almost everywhere consistently image-centric. It is not about using a computer, or about what you can do -- it does not give you digital wings that allow for intellectual flights of fancy. (A "soft" example: a preponderance amount of the controls in Photoshop are dedicated to making and refining selections, which must be done prior to acting on the selection. Aperture's selection tools are, in comparison, either radically reduced or irresponsibly under-developed. I go with radically -- intelligently, deftly, logically -- reduced to those that work for a photographer developing digital photographs to be seen by human viewers. I _love_ that human/humanist core. It is not a scientific tool -- it is an artistic one. {When I do science, I use Photoshop.}) I do not want to see this pointed purposefulness undercut by features which crowd the user with secondary information.
The hierarchy in this case is that using/disabling an already-made adjustment (via the checkbox on the Brick) is more important, and closer to the user than examining the shape and depths of the adjustment mask. The question the user is supposed to ask is -- again, strictly imho, from years spent working with this software -- "How does the Image look?" (and not, "What's the adjustment mask cover, not cover, look like, etc.). It is conceivable -- and important to realize -- that one could make the most of the adjustment brushes without _ever_ seeing any of the brush masks.
OK. Turning off my own mic now.

But -- NB! -- you can have as many individual Adjustment Bricks as you want. The user is limited to one brush per brick, but can use 17, 65, 130 bricks, even all of the same kind of adjustment, on any one Image.
Beginners also should know that the brush mask has a variable depth as well as an area: the brush mask is simply a visual representation of the command: apply this adjustment _at this strength_ to these pixels.

Your questions have been answered (I think) but since I've dusted up the place I thought I should present the answers all together here:
First, it looks like there's just one brush per type of adjustment.
Correct-ish. One brush per brick, but you can have multiple bricks of the same adjustment type.
Second, with the retouch adjustment "brick": Looks like it counts the adjustments that have been made but doesn't allow me to edit them individually after the fact.
Correct. This would be useful, but it would have to come with a hierarchical outline of which retouches retouch previous retouches. Note that you _cannot_ have multiple instances of the Retouch Brick, and you _cannot_ show an overlay for retouches.
p.s. What user manual?
See my response elsewhere in this thread.

I agree with your praise of Aperture and with the principle that underlies it, although I think the same could be said to a great degree about Lightroom, in fact, with Lightroom's amazing number of keyboard shortcuts, I can do a lot of work on an image without having to look at a lot of tools at all. Lightroom has a "solo" mode for the tool palette or sidebar (whatever you call it) that collapses all tools except for the one you're currently using. Another one of the small number of Lightroom behaviors that I would like to see Aperture adopt. I have to do a lot of extra clicking in Aperture to collapse/minimize those "bricks" when I'm done using 'em.
Still, the thing about a keyboard shortcut for showing or hiding the overlay is that it would serve the very end you praise. I dislike the fact that this is so, but when I'm working with brushes, I do want to take a quick look to see what I brushed. If the adjustment is subtle, I can't always tell on screen if I've been precise enough, and I dislike having the print come out of the printer and see that I slopped the blur brush into the bride's hair. Being able to do something like tap the "o" key (the Lightroom shortcut for this) and toggle the overlay on and off would eliminate the need for me to go to the HUD for that, and, in my opinion, allow me to stay focused on the image rather than the app.
Anyway, I'll be sending Apple a bunch of little suggestions soon!
Thanks again,

Spigelia marilandica
Aconitum krylovii An outstanding monkshood with numerous sprikes covered with creamy white flowers that rise above large, deep green leaves. Blooms mid to late summer. After flowering, the mounded foliage continues to look spectacular. Rare. Native to the Altai Mountains of Russia. Zone 3.
Anemone nemorosa A welcome harbinger of spring that blooms in April/May with masses of starry flowers floating just above low growing, deeply-cut foliage. At 4" tall, it's perfect for underplanting spring-blooming shrubs or taller bulbs such as daffodils. Given dappled shade and rich soil, they will multiply happily, but mark their spot, as they tend to go dormant in summer. Native throughout much of Europe and into Eastern Asia. Zones 5-9.
Anemone nemorosa 'Alba Plena' The white, double-flowered form of this charming, easy to grow and reliable woodland species. 6-8" tall, spreading by rhizomes. For shade with rich, moist but well drained soil. Zone 4.
Anemonella thalictroides (Rue Anemone) One to five upward-facing white to light pink flowers over fine fern-like foliage, 6-9" high. Will form tidy clumps and self-sow to form sizable colonies that will carpet the woodland garden with charming white blooms for many weeks in spring. Grow in part to full shade in reasonably fertile as well as moist soil. Zone 4..
Anemonella thalictroides 'Betty Blake' This Anemonella is sporting a brand new designer color! Fully double, light-green little pom-poms create an eyecatching stirr in the shady border. These haute couture beauties will appeal even to those gardeners withholding judgement on the merit of green flowers, especially since they hold their bloom for up to 4 weeks. 10" high. For shade with rich, evenly moist but well-drained soil. Zone 4.
Anemonella thalictroides 'Cameo' Fully double light pink flowers that slowly fade to white. They can last from 4 to 8 weeks in April-June. This is one of the easiest to grow, it tends to multiply faster than most of the other double forms. Zones 4-8. 12 in. Moist well-drained soil. Shade to part shade. We are offering flowering size plants from divisions.
Anemonella thalictroides 'Lloyd's Big Bloomers' This exceptionally large and robust form of the Rue Anemone is very long blooming, (up to two months), creating a very satisfying floral display. The upward-facing, white flowers appear over delicate, fern-like foliage. Forms a nice clump and self-sows once it settles in. Zone 4.
Anemonopsis macrophylla One of the Japanese aristocrats. This hard to find woodlander forms clumps of cimicifuga-like foliage topped with nodding, waxy lilac flowers in late summer. Likes a cool moist position. Zones 4-7. 3 ft. Shade to part shade, moist rich soil.
Arisaema candidissima A beautiful species of cobra lily from China with large, glossy leaves and a showy, pink striped flower. It comes up late in the spring and blooms late, not opening till late June. Increases readily and quickly forms attractive clumps. Zone 5.
Arisaema fargessi (Chinese Cobra Lily) A Chinese species, this plant has very large tripartite leaves and large maroon striped flowers that look like a cobra's head. It comes up late and blooms in late June to July. Will offset quite freely, forming a nice clump. Zone 5.
Arisaema sikokianum Best known of the Japanese cobra lilies, with white golfball-sized spadix inside a purple spathe. Mid-spring bloom. Cold hardy but needs good winter drainage. Zone 4. 20ins. tall. Part to full shade.
Arisaema urashima This species has broad, multi-divided leaves and a dark brown, whip-like spadix that snakes out of the maroon and white striped spathe. An easy plant to grow that will offset freely. Blooms in mid- May . Zone 5.
Asarum canadense (Wild Ginger) Bright green, geart-shaped leaves over unusual brown flowers at the base of the plant. One of our best native groundcovers, it is carefree and surprisingly drought tolerant. Also an alternative food source for the Pipevine Swallowtail. Zone 2.
Asarum europeum (European Ginger) See under perennials.
Astilboides (Rodgersia) tabularis Amazing, large, rounded, dark green leaves up to 3' across! Very architectural and fanciful. Creamy white, astilbe-like flower plumes are carried above the leaves in June-July but the eye-catching feature of this plant is the foliage. Grows 3' high and wide. Requires rich, organic soil that's evenly moist but not soggy. Part to heavier shade is where they're usually sited but sun is ok as long as the soil remains consistently moist. An excellent choice for pond or stream side planting. Always dramatic and attention-getting and very effective combined with plants of contrasting texture such as Variegated Solomon's Seal, burgundy leaved Cimicifuga, and Japanese Silver Painted Ferns. Zones 5-7.
Caltha palustris (Marsh Marigold) An early spring flowering native with large, bright yellow flowers above shiny, deep green leaves. Frequents wet places but will adapt to rich, reasonably moist garden soil. Grows well in full sun if ample moist is present, otherwise, part shade is best. Zone 3..
Cimicifuga japonica (Cheju Island form) This superior form comes from Darrell Probst and offers compact foliage and prolific flowering. In early spring, the foliage often emerges with a purple hue before turning green. In late summer, a single mature plant can produce 12-15 graceful white flowers spikes of, 4-5ft. tall. Very resistant to leaf spot. Zone 4.
Cimicifuga racemosa 5-7' spires of white flowers bloom July-Aug. A statuesque and elegant woodland native that delivers late summer color to the woodland garden. Light, all-day shade or morning sun and afternoon shade yields more attractive, sturdily upright plants. Soil should be rich and reasonably moist. zone 3.
Cimicifuga rubifolia A very appealing native Bugbane, more compact growing, with large, maple-like leaves and characteristic showy white, mildly fragrant flowers carried on shorter spikes, only 2-3' tall. Blooms in late summer. Grow in part to heavier shade, in rich, moist soil. Zone 4.

We're selling large, blooming size Cypripedium
Cypripedium 'Aki' This hybd. has very large flowers with light pink pouches and burgundy and cream streaked petals and sepals. Flower size and color does vary somewhat. It's the first lady-slipper to bloom out here in western Massachusetts with C. 'Gisla' coming in just behind it. Up to 2' tall. Zone 3.
Cypripedium 'Cleo Pinkepank' A cross between C. kentuckiense and C. hotei that yields beautiful, medium to dark pink blooms with dark pink hoods and tendrils. Bloom color can be temperature dependant: darker in cold weather, lighter in warmer weather. 20" tall. Best in rich, evenly moist but well-drained soil with a neutral pH.
Cypripedium kentuckiense x candidum The pouch is a glossy white on the outside with burgundy streaks along the inside ridges. The hood and tendrils are a dark burgundy, almost brown. The bloom size is about halfway between the two parents, making it close to the same size as a C. pubescens. 12-16 in. Light shade, cool, moist, rich well-drained soil. Zones 4-7.
Cypripedium "mix" This Lady-Slipper mix offers the chance to obtain this choice woodland plant at a significant saving. They're younger, by a year or two, than the mature, blooming specimens that we offer, and they are only slightly smaller. They may bloom this year or they may wait until next year to bestow their sumptuous blooms on the shade garden. They're a mix of named varieties.
Cypripedium reginae (Showy Lady-Slipper) Elegant rose-pink and white flowers in late May into June, often blooming for up to four weeks. Not the easiest of the lady-slippers to grow but really not that difficult if given the right placement: high open shade, constantly moist (but not wet) soil, with a neutral pH. Once established it can form large clumps and persist for years. Eastern U.S. Zones 3-8. 16-24 in. Part sun, moist rich neutral soil that does not dry out.
Cypripedium 'Victoria' (C. plubescens x C. fasciolatum) A striking yellow flowered Lady-Slipper with flowers that are larger than those of C. pubescens and more creamy-yellow in color. Long, pendant-like, burgundy tendrils contrast beautifully with the creamy-yellow pouches,12"-16" tall. For light shade with rich, moist, but well-drained soil. When purchasing a Lady-Slipper, ask for one of our handouts on Cypridedium culture.
Delphinium tricome New (Dwarf Larkspur) A lovely spring ephemeral that grows from a small corm and blooms with striking dark purple flowers in May. It's shorter and blooms earlier than other native delphinium as it has adapted to a woodland environment. Eastern US native. Average to moist soil, light dappled shade. Blooms in mid-spring, 6"-18" tall. Zone 4 -8.
Diphylleia cymosa (Umbrella Leaf) A bold, large-leaved, shade lover grown for its foliage effect, flowers and berries. Tightly folded, reddish-brown domes emerge in spring and unfold into broad, deeply toothed, dark green, nicely textured leaves. In May, arching flower stems appear above the leaves carrying flattened, upright disks of creamy white flowers that later become dark blue, pea-sized berries displayed on bright red pedicels for an eye-catching contrast. Under favorable conditions plants will form large, stately clumps, 30-60" high. The bold foliage and exceptional berry/pedicel display make these plants effective companions for other large, shade loving perennials and shrubs. Also very impressive in drifts. Grow in shade, in rich, evenly moist soil. Zone 4.
Disporum flavum (Korean Fairy Bells) A rarely seen but easy-to-grow shade loving plant that, when happy, forms sizable clumps of tall, 30" stems carrying large, dangling, yellow bells in spring followed by pea-sized, blue berries in the fall. Makes a choice addition to any woodland garden. Zone 3.
Disporum maculatum New (Nodding Mandarin) The most ornamental of our North American disporums, with two-inch nodding purple-spotted, cream flowers. The spring blooms have a sweet scent and the leaves add a nice textural element throughout the season. For part shade with rich, evenly moist soil,18"-30" tall, zone 4.
Dodecatheon (mixed colors) (Shooting Star) Charming cyclamen-like flowers in white, pink, and red carried on slender stems well above flat rosettes. Goes dormant late summer. Zones 3-8. 16-24 in. Full shade to sun, moist humus soil.
Erythronium dens-canis (Trout Lily) Early spring blooming ephemeral with lilac to soft-pink, six-petaled, reflexed flowers that bloom on 8in. stems over a pair of narrow, elongated blue-green leaves. Plants go dormant by early June and return The following year. A treasure in any woodland garden.
Gaultheria procumbens 'Very Berry' An especially heavy fruiting strain of this favorite native woodlander. Grows 6" high by up to 2' wide after several years, forming attractive, low mats of glossy, evergreen leaves that turn burgundy in winter. Small white flowers bloom in summer and, though small, they have an irresistible charm as they nestled amongst the dense, glossy leaves. Flowers are followed in late fall and winter by pea-sized, bright red berries. If not eaten by critters, berries often persist into spring. For part to full shade with organic, evenly moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Can be grouped for attractive, small-scale groundcover, or used as specimens at the front of the shady border where their four season garden appeal can be fully appreciated. Good wildlife plant. Zone 3.
Geranium maculatum (Wild Geranium) Native from Maine to the Carolinas, a spritely woodlander around 1'-1½' tall with pink/lavender flowers carried on branched stems, above the foliage, April-June. In the garden, we prefer to let plants make their own way through self seeding, which they do to perfection, never failing to find just the right spot to highlight their understated charm. Long-lived and dependable in part to full shade with moist loam,(think woodland). Attracts butterflies, deer resistant. Zone 3.
Gillenia (Porteranthus) stipulata (American Ipecac) Large numbers of one-inch star-shaped white flowers on wiry red branches. Blooms freely late May through June with flowers generously distributed throughout, looking as though they'd been sprinkled down from above and gently come to rest on the branches without actually being attached. The effect is light and airy and unforgetable. Visitors unfamiliar with the plant never fail to exclaim over its special appeal. Habit is upright, vase-shaped, 3-4'. For part to heavier shade with average, reasonably moist soil. Established plants are quite tolerant. Eastern U.S. native. Zones 4-8.
Gillenia (Porteranthus) trifoliata (Bowman's Root) Large numbers of one-inch star-shaped white flowers on wiry red branches . Blooms freely late May through June. Plants have a sturdy, upright habit with a shrub-like appearance. When in bloom, the glistening white flowers resemble white moths flitting through the branches. This under-used plant not only adds shape and texture, but it also thrives in dry, shady sites. Eastern U.S. native. Zones 4-8. 2-3 ft. Part shade, garden soil.
Gillenia (Proteranthus) trifoliata 'Pink Profusion' Clear pink, star-like flowers bloom late spring and early summer over deep red stems carrying reddish leaves. Flowers are delicately held, appearing barely attached to the stems and at risk of taking flight on the first breeze. Plants seem almost shrub-like, with an attractive upright, vase-shaped, intricate network of slender but strong branches. For shade with moderately moist, organic soil. Both in and out of bloom, plants lend an eye-catching vertical accent to those often overlooked shaded areas. Zone 4.
Glaucidium palmatum A rare Japanese woodlander with large silky, purple-pink flowers over full, dense clumps of maple-like leaves. Blooms for up to three weeks in spring. From Hillside Nursery which has developed a particularly strong growing form. Begins blooming at a young age but the plants that we're selling will take a year or two to reach their full, bodacious, mature size, 2' high by 2' wide. For cool shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil. Very special, a completely arresting sight in the shade border. Zone 3.
Hepatica acutiloba (Sharped-Leaved Hepatica) One of our prettiest flowering native plants forming dense clumps of attractive floiage 6" tall by 10" wide. In early spring, March-April, charming white to blue flowers rise 2-4" above the foliage in profuse quantities. Full to part shade, moist well-drained soil. Eastern US native. Zones 4.
Hepatica nobilis (blue flowered form) This is the European form of Hepatica with deep blue flowers that emerge in early spring, followed by tri-lobed leaves. Hepaticas are among the loveliest of early spring blooming, woodland plants. Without peers in the charm department! Grow in light to full shade in rich, moist but drained soil with a neutral or higher pH. Zone 4.
Hepatica transylvanica Blue Form New From the Slavic region of southeastern Europe, this early-flowering hepatica is a true harbinger of spring with its noticeably larger blue flowers and sizable, almost leathery, leaves. It's fast growing and offsets freely. This is one of the largest hepatica species and the only one that has a spreading habit. Does best in shade/part shade, with moist, well-drained, less-acid, (higher pH) soil.
Hylomecon japonicum New (Japanese Wood Lily) Rich yellow-orange flowers over pinnate foliage, blooming April through May. Can form large colonies but is not invasive. Native to the mountains of Japan, Korea, and northeastern China. 8"-10" high, full to part shade. Zone 5.
Iris cristata See under Perennials.
versicolor 'Kermesina' (Blue Flag Iris) This is the violet-red form of the Blue Flag Iris. Native, most often found growing in wet places, where it blooms in spring with violet-red flowers. Slightly lower growing than the species 2-3ft high. Adapts well to garden conditions but best suited to the woodland or naturalized garden. Zone 4.
Jeffersonia diphylla Twinleaf White flowers in May followed by interesting pipe-shaped seed pods over large, twin, kidney-shaped dusty blue-green leaves. Forms nice clumps and is useful both as a specimen plant and planted in mass. Best in a moist site, but tolerant of both drought and root competition once established. Eastern U.S. native. Zones 3-8. 10-12 in. Full or dappled shade, moist humus soil.
Jeffersonia dubia Asian Twinleaf Older plants can have up to 50 upward-facing blooms of a blue to lavender-blue that can be seen from hundreds of feet away. It's one of the first plants to bloom here every year. The leaves form after the plant has flowered. Easy in the garden, this highly-sought-after plant is suitable for even the beginning gardener. Native to Japan, China, and Korea. Zones 4-7. 10-16 in. Shade to part shade, garden soil.
Mertensia virginica VIRGINIA BLUEBELLS Shoots rise in early spring as the ground thaws. Flowers start as clusters of pink buds, then open up to bright blue bells. After blooming for several weeks, seeds ripen, and the plant begins to fade, going dormant in early July. Native to eastern woodlands. Zones 3-8. 12 in. Part shade, moist humus soil.
Paeonia japonica (Japanese Woodland Peony) I'm pleased to have this rare peony for the shade garden back on the list. It is a strong growing plant with gray-green foliage and single white flowers with yellow stamens. It blooms in May followed in late summer by bright red seed heads with dark blue seeds. These are 3 and 4-year-old plants. Zones 4-8. 18-24 in. Part sun to light shade, good rich soil.
Paeonia obovata var. Willmottiae (Asian Woodland Poppy) A robust plant with large, single, white flowers with yellow or dark maroon stamens. Blooms later in May than P. japonica and develops the same beautiful seed pods that open to reveal a satiny red cushion nestling dark blue, bead-like seeds. The seed pods of both this variety and P. japonica rival their flowers for beauty. 30-40" tall. Grow in part shade in rich, moist but well drained soil.
Peltoboykinia wantanabei (previously, Boykinia), A rare and choice plant from Japan with huge,10" wide. rounded, slightly divided leaves on longish petioles. Dainty creamy yellow flowers rise above the foliage on 20in. stems. Plants require rich, moist soil in shade. They will tolerate boggy conditions and look especially nice at stream or pond side. Zone 5.
Pinellia tripartita (Green Dragon) This is the better-behaved Pinellia. It will not invade the garden but, instead, it will offset and reproduce via seeds in quantities sufficient to maintain a presence. The green jack-in-the-pulpit like flower with long slender spandix comes up between three-part leaves and can persist for up to two months. 10-15" high. Zone 5.
Podophyllum hexandrum 'Majus HIMALAYAN MAYAPPLE A clump-forming mayapple with pink upward-facing cup-shaped flowers in early spring, before the brown, marbled leaves are fully developed. Followed by four-inch egg-shaped seed pods. Zones 4-8. 16-20 in. Part shade, moist rich soil.
Podophyllum peltatum Mayapple Large white flowers under umbrella-like leaves. Spreads vigorously. Blooms in May. Eastern U.S. Zones 3-8. 12-15 in. Full or part shade, moist rich soil.
Polygonatum humile (Dwarf Solomon's Seal) A very appealing miniature Solomon's Seal that makes a great ground cover, especially under other Solomon's Seals. Petite, arching stems with paired leaves and dangling white bell-shaped flowers followed by blue berries. Grows only 8-10" high, blooms in spring. Tolerates dry conditions in late summer. Native to northeast Asia. Zone 4.
Polygonatum 'New Yorker' New This is a stunning solomon's seal. It tends to send up two tall shoots at every root tip making for a very full clump. It also tends not to run very far from year to year, again allowing for a nice full clump. One other distinct characteristic is that all the stems arch in different directions making for a 'bouquet effect'. Could be either a Polygonatum hybridum or some sort of tetraploid. we're not sure. Part sun to shade, moist to moderately dry soil. 2'-3' tall, zones 5.
Polygonatum commutatum (Giant Solomon's Seal) The majestic arcs of P. commutatum grace the shade garden, and feature white bell-shaped flowers followed by attractive blue berries. Blooms in spring. A large natural tetraploid form. Eastern U.S. Zones 3-8. 4-6 ft. at maturity. Full or part shade, good loam.
Polygonatum lasianthum A very attractive Asian Solomon's seal from South Korea and Northern Japan. The small woolly flowers stand out almost horizontally on long stems, the better to be seen through the narrow lance-shaped leaves. Slow spreading rhizomes will form a large clump over time. 14-20" high. Zone 4.
Polygonatum odoratum 'Byakko' (White Tiger Solomon's Seal) An exceptional Solomon's Seal with a striking variegation pattern. The tip of the leaf is green, while the midsection towards the stem is white. The name 'Byakko' means "white tiger", as plants often have a striped appearance. Tjhe color is better on larger plants, and best when grown in light shade with morning sun. Native to Japan. 1'-2' high.
Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum' VARIEGATED SOLOMON'S SEAL This plant has arching stems with paired leaves, white bell-shaped flowers followed by blue berries. Blooms in spring. The white and cream striping on this strong-growing form are what makes this one so popular. Native of Europe. Zones 3-8. 20 in. Full or part shade, good loam.
Rodgersia tabularis Amazing, large, rounded, dark green leaves up to 3' across! Very architectural and fanciful. Creamy white, astilbe-like flower plumes are carried above the leaves in June-July but the eye-catching feature of this plant is the foliage. Grows 3' high and wide. Requires rich, organic soil that's evenly moist but not soggy. Part to heavier shade is where they're usually sited but sun is ok as long as the soil remains consistently moist. An excellent choice for pond or stream side planting. Always dramatic and attention-getting and very effective combined with plants of contrasting texture such as Variegated Solomon's Seal, burgundy leaved Cimicifuga, and Japanese Silver Painted Ferns. Zones 5-7.
Sanguinaria canadense In early spring, pure white, 1½" wide, rayed flowers appear, last for a few days, and then are gone. Though one wishes they held longer, the flowers possess such delicate beauty that it's enough to enjoy even a fleeting glimpse. After bloom is finished, attractive round, gray/green, leaves increase, sometimes up to 10ins, across, forming tight, gradually spreading colonies suitable as modest woodland ground covers. 9-12ins. high. Grow in shade, in moist but well drained soil. Evenly moist soil becomes more important when plants are expected to perform as groundcovers through the season. Zone 3.
Sanguinaria canadense 'Multiplex' (Double Bloodroot) Double, pristine white, rayed flowers 1½" across in early spring. Flowers open bulging with petals, looking like small Gardenias. Their stay in the garden is brief, several days depending on the weather, but their exceptional beauty makes a lasting impression and leaves the gardener looking ahead to their reappearance next spring. The leaves are large, round, blue-green in color, forming attractive, dense colonies that are suitalble as shady groundcovers. 8-10" high. Grow in shade with moist but well drained soil. Zone 4.
Saruma henryi A ginger relative with downy heart-shaped leaves and bright, lemon- yellow flowers most heavily produced in spring and then intermittently through summer, 2ft. tall. Grow in shade with reasonable moisture. Easy to grow and a willing self-seeder. Zone 5.
Smilacina racemosa (False Solomon's Seal) Bold, easy to grow woodland plants with graceful, arching stems similar to true Solomon's Seal. Stems are lined with large, deeply veined, light green leaves and topped with showy creamy-white flower plumes in spring. Flowers are followed by equally showy, large clusters of berries that begin white and eventually mature to red. The 3' tall stems spread moderately slowly and do not present a maintenance problem. Extras are easily removed. Grows in moist, acid soil in part to full shade, native. Zone 3.
Spigelia marilandica Long, narrow crimson buds peel back to reveal bright yellow interiors,(also cream and chartreuse). One of natures fireworks displays, stunning. Blooms in July from bushy clumps 12-16ins. tall and wide. Grow in moist, light shade. Very late to emerge in spring. Be patient, it's worth the wait. Zone 4.
Stylophorum diphyllum (Wood Poppy) Mounds of deeply cut leaves. Two-inch yellow flowers, late spring. Very popular and easy to grow plant, great with Virginia Bluebells. Eastern U.S. Zones 4-8. 24-30 in. Full to part shade, moist humus soil.
Syneilesis aconitifolia Shredded Umbrella Plant Large, umbrella-like leaves, incised to a fare thee well with lobes reaching back to the petiole. Interesting from the minute they poke up in spring looking like mushrooms. As plants continue to grow, the closely folded leaves flare out to reveal their fascinating shredded form. About 2' high. Easy to grow in part to full shade with evenly moist, rich soil. Zone 3.
Trillium grandiflorum multiplex (Double-Flowered White Trillium) This is the rarely offered, fully double-flowered form. Its exquisite blooms have multiple rows of white overlapping petals. It will offset freely, once established. Blooming-sized divisions. Zones 3-8. 12-14 in. Plant in light to quite deep shade, in moist, rich, well -drained neutral soil. A yearly dusting of lime is beneficial.
Trillium luteum (Yellow Toadshade Trillium) Stalkless yellow flowers nestled atop a set of leaves beautifully mottled with silver, mildly fragrant. 10-18" tall. Requires full/dappled shade and moist, humus-rich soil with a neutral pH. Clump forming. One of the easiest trillium to grow when favorable conditions are provided. Zone 4.
Trillium recurvatum (PrairieTrillium) This is a long blooming form with dark maroon flowers. It has very erect stems and thin mottled leaves. It gets its name from the strongly recurved sepals that curve back against the stem. The form we're offering is taller than most and forms larger clumps once established. 12-14" tall. Light shade with moist to wet soil. Zone 4.
Trillium sulcatum (Southern Red Trillium) One of the most beautiful and easy to grow trilliums. A stately upright plant with broad leaves and erect flowers in spring, most of which will bloom red but a few might be white or pink. Native to southeastern U.S. 10"-14" tall. For shade, with neutral to acid leaning soil. Zone 5.
Triosteum himalayanum Though shrub-like in appearance, it is nevertheless an herbaceous member of the honeysuckle family. The large, rounded, fuzzy leaves provide a soft backdrop for the eye-catching clusters of gumball-sized red fruits that hold from late summer into autumn. 24" tall. Native to China. Grow in shade in garden soil of even moisture. Zone 5.
Uvularia grandiflora Soft yellow, elongated, bell-shaped flowers dangle from the upper portion of tightly clumped, gently arching stems. Blooms in spring, fragrant. Leaves are long and narrow, blue-green in season turning yellow in autumn. 16" high. Adapted to part and full shade with moist, neutral soil. A no-fuss, choice woodland gem that delights with charming, fragrant flowers in spring and then continues to catch the eye with its attractive habit and foliage. The overall appearance is reminiscent of the smaller Solomon's Seals. Zone 4.
Uvularia sessilifolia 'Blizzard' A gem of a plant for the shade garden with leaves that are mostly creamy yellow with specks of green scattered over the leaf surface. Only 4-8" high and does best in average, reasonably moist. Zone 3.
Viola pedata Bird-Foot Violet A native violet with deeply divided leaves that resemble birds' feet. Sweet, smallish flowers are variable in color, usually some form of bicolor, starting with a base purple/lavender with appearances of white, pink or reddish purple. Blooms March-June or longer. Requires acid, organic but gritty and well-drained soil. A chance sighting in nature is a reward for living a good life. Very special. Though challenging in gardens, it's worth the effort. Zone 4.

Saw this Amazon review for the SW-8:
Quote :Bought this sub (SW-8) over a month ago and returned the first one for having a hum, even when nothing was plugged in to it. The second one had about the same hum and I worked with four different people at Pioneer to see about returning again or getting a small adjustment on the price for a defective product. I was finally advised by a tech support person that the hum was NORMAL on this model sub woofer. In all fairness to pioneer support, they did finally agree to a full refund if I so desired. Truth of the matter is, this is a great sounding woofer (if you don't mind a hum in quiet times}. One thing I did to make it better was to position on a side wall so that the port on front was not facing me. This helped a lot. It still hums but it doesn't bother me now. Also worth noting is that it runs pretty warm to the touch, even in standby mode. Another reason I kept it was that I bought this as a package with a center and four surounds. I would rate it four stars if it had no hum. Would still take off one star for the heat the amp makes in standby.
