Buckingham Palace Gardens
Buckingham Palace Gardens
Ballantine Books, Hardcover, 9780345469311, 320pp.
Publication Date: March 25, 2008
Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries are perhaps the best loved of all her Victorian bestsellers, luring us into the multilayered richness of London, from the great mansions and secluded drawing rooms to the city's festering slums. Now, in her most mesmerizing novel yet, she invites us to a house-party at Buckingham Palace.
The Prince of Wales has asked four wealthy entrepreneurs and their wives to the palace to discuss a fantastic idea: the construction of a six-thousand-mile railroad that would stretch the full length of Africa. But, alas, the prince's gathering proves disastrous when the mutilated body of a prostitute hired for a late-night frolic (after the wives have retired to bed) turns up among the queen's monogrammed sheets in a palace linen closet.
With great haste, Thomas Pitt, brilliant mainstay of Special Services, is summoned to resolve the crisis. The Pitts' cockney maid, Gracie, is also recruited–to pose as a palace servant and listen in on the guests' conversations, scan their bedrooms, and scrutinize their troubled faces for clues to hidden rivalries and attachments that could have lead to murder. If Pitt and Gracie fail to find out who brutally murdered the young woman–as seems increasingly likely–Pitt's career will be over, and the scandal may just cause the monarchy to fall.
With a cast of wonderful characters, among them the gentle Princess of Wales, and a twisting plot that takes us into the hidden world of the royal family, Anne Perry probes deeply the hearts of men and women ensnared by their own emotions. Never has this distinguished novelist told a story with more truth and passion.
Anne Perry is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including Seven Dials and Long Spoon Lane, and the William Monk novels, most recently The Shifting Tide and Dark Assassin. She is also the author of the World War I novels No Graves As Yet, Shoulder the Sky, Angels in the Gloom, At Some Disputed Barricade, and We Shall Not Sleep, as well as the holiday novels A Christmas Journey, A Christmas Visitor, A Christmas Guest, A Christmas Secret, and A Christmas Beginning. Anne Perry lives in Scotland.
Praise for Anne Perry and her Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels
Long Spoon Lane
"Anne Perry has once again delivered the tasty concoction her readers have come to expect . . . and presents us with moral and political puzzles that are all too close to our own."
–Los Angeles Times Book Review
"The clear parallels [Perry] draws to current political issues are persuasive–and chilling."
–The New York Times Book Review
Seven Dials
"Terrific, vivid stuff . . . The alarmingly prolific Anne Perry [is] a master of the genre."
–The Seattle Times
"Perry's as good as it gets. . . . The final courtroom scene produces more victims and left me breathless."
–The Providence Journal

The Year of Habits
I've decided that this year is the year of forming habits. I turn 29 years old in four days so it seems fitting. I've been on the candida diet for 118 days now and I've been painting every day for the past 17 days. When #the100dayproject is over on July 27, what will I choose next? Actually blog?
I've learned a few things while trying to become a habitual badass and thought I'd share some advice:
- It gets better after day 12 (for me, at least).
- Have a close support system.
- Share! I created a Candida-specific Instagram account to learn, share and connect with others. I'm also sharing every painting I create during this 100 Day Project.
- Plan. I plan out my meals and I have food prepped constantly. I have my painting supplies out and ready for me to dive right in. Don't make it harder for yourself!
- Understand why you're doing it. I'm on this diet so I can live a fuller (less painful) life. I don't want to sabotage all the work I've put forth so I don't cheat! Someday I won't have to eat this way but right now I'm pushing through.
- Allow yourself to change (even if it's uncomfortable). While painting, I'll need to challenge myself or be okay with hating something I create. When I first started this diet, I HATED eggs. Now I love them. My tastes change. We evolve.
- If you love it, it's not difficult. I look forward to painting every. single. day. Sure, sometimes I have no idea what to paint but it's still fun.
Thoughts? Complaints? Just kidding, I don't give a crap about your complaints!
My (so far) cohesive review of buying glasses online
I wore glasses from ages seven through fourteen. Then I got to switch to contacts and I wore them up until last August. I have a degenerative issue called pinguecula. It's a slightly raised thickening of the conjunctiva on the white part of the eye, close to the edge of the cornea. I'm not sure why I got it, honestly. It could be genetic but triggered by UV rays or wind. Either way, wearing contacts can irritate it so I now wear glasses all the time!
After learning that I'd probably have to kiss contacts goodbye, I ordered way too many glasses. Like, 10-12 pairs. Don't worry, I returned most of them. But I figured I could start a series on my blog since I'll most likely to trying out new companies all the time. Keep in mind that I don't really care if any of these companies have virtual try-on because it just isn't the same for me. Virtual try-on never really seems to give me the confidence to spend $130+ so I didn't include that in any of my pros or cons.
So here we go:
1. Warby Parker
I had always ordered my glasses from Warby (before I wore them constantly) and so I obviously was going to try them out again. I've ordered Durand ($125), Reilly Sunglasses ($150), Chamberlain, and Beckett.
- Their frames start at around $95.
- They have multiple locations so you can try ALL the ones you want!
- They offer free home try-on. You can select 5 frames that will get sent directly to your house for you to try out (with clear, non-RX lenses).
- The home try-ons arrive quickly!
- Shipping and returns are free.
- You can return within 30 days of receiving. Their shipping process is very easy.
- This isn't a big deal but just so you know, if you have a RX like me (aka I'm pretty blind), then you will want to pay another $30 for 1.67 High Index Lenses so the lens isn't super thick.
- You can't choose rushed or expedited shipping. Their site says that it takes 7-10 days to process a single vision pair (progressive takes longer).
- Sometimes I can't remember which ones I've tried on at home. And then I worry I'm just constantly trying on the same pairs over and over and over.
- A lot of people use Warby for glasses so if you're looking for a pair of really unique glasses, maybe use one of the companies below!
2. Classic Specs
I found Classic Specs via Instagram and really love this company. Their Waverley frames are the ones that I wear every day and constantly get compliments! Here's a photo of me wearing them.
- Their frames start at around $89.
- They are retro inspired but to me they just seem timeless and classy.
- They offer free home try-on. You can select 6 frames that will get sent directly to your house for you to try out (with clear, non-RX lenses).
- They list all the frames you've tried on at home under your account settings. I often can't remember if I've already tried a pair on so this is very helpful.
- Free shipping and returns. I've never had to return a pair of glasses with Classic Specs so I can't speak to the return process!
- They aren't as mainstream as Warby which means there aren't any stand alone locations but there are some pop-up/in-store locations if you're nearby!
- This isn't a big deal but just so you know, if you have a RX like me (aka I'm pretty blind), then you will want to pay another $30 for 1.67 High Index Lenses so the lens isn't super thick.
- You can't choose rushed or expedited shipping. Their site says that it takes 5-7 days to process a single vision pair (progressive takes longer) and 3-5 days to ship.
3. Fetch Eyewear
I think I discovered Fetch eyewear on Instagram as well! I own a pair of their Tracy in Bittersweet frames and really love the color + style. Here's a photo of me wearing them.
- 100% of Profits to Animal Rescue !! I love this.
- They offer free home try-on. You can select 6 frames that will get sent directly to your house for you to try out (with clear, non-RX lenses).
- Fetch also lists all of the "home try-ons" you've ordered so you can see which ones you've tried, loved or didn't like.
- According to their website, you can contact them for rushed shipping (I have not done this). Their regular shipping is free.
- They offer a lot of pop-ups where you can try on some of their frames but they do note that they might not have the exact pair you're looking for so call ahead! They need to come to Ohio!
- I did have to return a pair of sunglasses to Fetch. It's not that it was difficult but every other company that I had to return glasses to felt a bit more professional. I believe I just packaged it up myself and included a note to them (I didn't have to request a return form or notify them) but returns are free.
- No easy way to choose rushed or expedited shipping. Prescription lenses take 7-12 days to fulfill and ship.
4. BonLook
I found out about BonLook from Diana! I have ordered many frames from BonLook (but unfortunately my RX was wrong so I've had to return them all). I do plan to order more in the future!
- They seem a bit higher quality than the first three companies above.
- Queen of the cat eye frame, BonLook also has a lot more personality. Their feminine lenses are to die for.
- Lenses start at around $99.
- Very responsive via email + updates about your order.
- Free shipping + 30-day returns for orders over $60.
- You can expedite or rush your order.
- They have a wishlist feature in your account settings which is AWESOME.
- They often have sales so keep your eye out!
- You can't try these on at home. unfortunately. It made me nervous but if you have the cash flow, order a few pairs and return the ones you don't want.
- No locations in the US (only Canada) but maybe that's a "pro" if you're in Canada!
5. Glasses.com
I specifically order glasses from Glasses.com when I need them fast or when they're having an amazing sale! Both of my RX sunglasses are from Glasses.com: Armani and Armani.
- Generally the prices are all over the place but you can find frames for $60-$75 (not including lenses).
- Glasses.com, however, does run sales for "free lenses" pretty regularly. That is when I order classes from them! It's so cheap and even the High Index Lens fee is void. Amazing.
- They offer free home try-on with your prescription lens for two weeks on some frames. This is great because you can actually try out a pair (and see out of them) for awhile. Either ship back or keep and get charged!
- It obviously depends on the brand but the quality is the best of any place I've ordered.
- They allow you to rush or expedite your frames (2-3 or 1-2 business days). Just remember that this is shipping (not processing). They will need to fulfill your order and then ship.
- Free shipping and returns.
- They accept insurance.
- They offer many, many designer brands.
- No traditional "home try-on."
- Generally their prices can be more expensive.
Phew, that's a lot! Hopefully it's helpful or maybe you'll discover a new eyeglasses brand to check out! I really love the flexibility, low pressure and variety. I tried getting a pair of RX sunglasses at Lenscrafters and it just doesn't compare. My options were limited and I'd end up paying $400+!
My next reviews will be for: Clearly, Black Optical, Oliver Peoples, EyeBuy Direct + any other requests you might have or want!
Products That I Use Daily
I've had this blog since 2009. It's transformed a lot. From a place where I started sharing my design work to a place where I introduced advertisers (that was the worst)…and I've simplified it yet again. I am designing + taking photos every single day and I needed to stretch another muscle: writing and sharing. Knowing me, I'll transform this place again someday where I share more personal artwork, design and photography. For now, thanks for reading my words!
I used to do a lot of "current favorites" or "good goods" posts back in the day. Since I'm trying to get into the habit of writing, I decided to simplify it with a simple list. Here are some products that I love and use daily:
- Aquaphor Lip Repair. I apply this religiously.
- Bite Beauty products. I'm allergic to petroleum based ingredients which means when I wear most lip products, it usually swells, becomes extremely chapped and then I develop a rash. So awesome, right? I can wear Bite Beauty lip products. They use a lot of food grade ingredients (including wine). You can't go wrong. Their new Amuse Bouche line feels, looks and smells amazing. I bought Gingersnap, Fig and Sorbet. Can't wait to swatch more in Sephora.
- La Croix. I probably drink 4-5 cans of La Croix everyday. When you can't have sugar (or fruit, grains, legumes, dairy, alcohol or caffeine), an orange La Croix is like God's gift to you…personally.
- Yes To Facial Wipes. I use the cucumber and the grapefruit wipes to take off all my makeup (and then I still use a facial cleanser and lotion). I don't know how people take their makeup off without a wipe. You amaze me, people.
- LL Bean Wicked Good Slippers. These slippers keep your feet so warm! It's insane. I got them for Christmas a few years ago and people always say I look like an Elf. Whatever. A very warm Elf.
Riveting blog post, I know. But sometimes it's the little things in life that make you smile.
The Balance of Confidence and Insecurity
I'm at the point in my career where I can charge a decent amount of money for the creative services that I provide. I'm usually the one generating proposals and quotes. I'm trying to figure out how to be profitable while still serving our perfect client (not corporations).
But I get bored really fast when it becomes a formula or when I'm working on "safe" design or photography work. I need a good balance of confidence and insecurity. I need to take on work that scares me and challenges me. When I do that, I actually end up challenging myself in the "safer" projects. It's like a cycle. A really good cycle.
I'm in that stage right now and it feels good in a "oh shit I hope I can do this" sort of way.
We're 60 days into 2016. For me, the year has been about creating and kicking habits. Doing things every day until it becomes second nature. Here are a few ways I've changed:
- I cook every meal at home since being on the candida diet. And yes! I am so anti-social! I need to start hosting more dinner parties I suppose.
- I seek out podcasts while I run errands in the car, clean our house or get ready. I don't mind listening to them a few minutes at a time.
- No more caffeine or alcohol. Oddly, I don't miss either.
Habits that I'm hoping to create this month:
- Go to sleep earlier. I'm typing this at 1am while watching Law & Order: SVU. Tomorrow is a new day. I need to figure out HOW to start falling asleep earlier. Slowly work towards it? Melatonin?
- Create something every day. Even if it's a sketch, a doodle, a painting or a vector in Illustrator or a client website.
*PS: If you are interested in the candida diet – I created an Instagram just to log meals, share tips or advice! Follow along.
A Client's Client
Adam and I have been working together, building The Wonder Jam for three years now. I freelanced full-time for the year prior. Since then I've probably worked with over 150 clients. We've aged a bit in the process but as I'm sitting here typing…I'm smiling. 2016 has brought about the most "work/life balance" yet.
Over the past four years, I've struggled with becoming a client's client. First of all, I always fully support our clients. Also, I will always try to experience my clients' services or products or space. When you become a client's client, lots of different scenarios can occur. 65% of our clients become our friends. 30% of our clients are still awesome but it stays professional. Everyone has that 5% where things just don't click.
Often times clients offer their service or product for free but I don't like to take advantage of that perk. If a client wants to invest thousands of dollars in collaborating with The Wonder Jam, then I can support them financially too! I just can't do that for everyone we work with. I'm left feeling bad or awkward or guilty.
I have a new policy for myself that while we work with someone, I don't become their client (or a member). I experience what they have to offer for researching purposes and then I choose to become their client after the project is over. I love supporting a past client because I genuinely have the time, the funds and the heart.
I still struggle with the fact that I can't always become every client's client. How do you handle supporting your own clients? Am I overlooking another option?
6 Weeks Without Caffeine
I have a vivid memory (and if you know me well then you know I don't remember anything). I'm lying on my parents' couch. My head is pounding. I'm supposed to go camping with my friends because we're finally seniors in high school but I can't sit up without feeling like I might faint. I could hear my mom making dinner. It seemed s o l o u d.
True story: I wasn't hungover. I just didn't drink coffee. That's what happens to me when I don't have any caffeine before 4pm. Well, not anymore. I haven't had coffee since February 8th. I'm starting my 6th week on the candida diet and so I've been without caffeine, refined sugar, legumes, grains, alcohol, fruit and dairy the entire time. More on that later.
So what was it like quitting caffeine? I'll tell you:
On Beauty
I listened to a TED Radio Hour podcast on Sunday while I was driving with my sister. It was about beauty and brought up the idea that maybe there are beautiful things in this world so we don't destroy it all. I can't stop thinking about it.
Interestingly enough, I feel like I avoid creating beautiful things because don't want to ruin a blank canvas with something subpar. I avoid immersing myself in the 50 amazing novels sitting on my bookshelf because I'm afraid that it will change me (in the best way).
Maybe beautiful things really can force us to keep our distance. I'm determined to push through.
You can listen to the podcast here.
Thank You, But I'll Pass
Two things sparked this post.
- A video of Lady Gaga talking about how she almost quit music two years ago. But she took a step back and decided to stop doing things she didn't want to do. Not more selling perfume. No more rubbing shoulders with people she didn't like. Creativity was getting the backseat while she felt overworked. You can watch it here.
- Paul Jarvis' tweet : "my answer to most requests: that sounds like an amazing opportunity, but I'm a hermit and am passing on it right now"
Both of these things soaked into my brain and I started following their lead. I started passing on things that our (very connected) society says are great opportunities. But are the opportunities really that great if you don't enjoy doing them? Probably not.
So this winter I've passed on being a mentor. That was difficult as I've participated as a mentor at both OSU and CCAD for the past few years.
I've passed on a lot of photography opportunities with amazing companies. Sadly, I've fallen out of love with photography. But I hope it doesn't last too much longer. I believe that passing on these shoots will actually help rekindle the flame.
I'm passing on sponsorship/brand relationships here in this space because it feels weird. I have never been paid money to post my opinion about anything on the internet. Free product? Yes. I like free things.
But it's not all about saying no. Like they say, for every no…there is a yes! (And vice versa.) Here's what I've been saying "yes" to:
- When Adam says, "Let's set up an area in the warehouse for you to start painting again!"
- When I get an idea or inspired to get people gifts (for no reason)
- When The Wonder Jam is asked to sponsor amazing events this winter
- When I have the chance to collaborate with my friend Kelli on UX
- When we have the chance to take more than two weeks off for the holidays and see our families!
- When the Columbus community wants to use our studio space to spread the love
So all-in-all, I totally dig passing on stuff that doesn't wake me up in the morning. Or passing on the things that make me say, "Hmmmm." Cause as my friend Val says to me…
It should be a "HELL YES!"
My Odd Fear of Intense or Interesting Fiction
I've had this weird fear lately. I fear movies, new tv shows, and fiction literature. I know, right? I told you it was weird. Most people assume it's because I think it's stupid, silly or a waste of time. I started to believe them! But that's false because I finally figured out it.
Like you read in my previous post, I'm in the market for some hobbies. The reality is is that I do have free time (most nights and weekends) but I fill it with shows and movies that I've already seen a million times. For example:
- Gilmore Girls: Not only have I watched that show in real time back in the early 2000's, but I've owned the DVDs as they got released and have since watched the entire series probably 20 times.
- Seinfeld: I bought the DVD set on Amazon two years ago and now that it's on Hulu, my DVDs just sit on a shelf. But damn I love that show.
- You've Got Mail: Why haven't I bought this movie yet? I always rent it on Amazon Prime. I rented it last weekend and watched it twice in 24 hours. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I am something really depressing, like a Baby Gap
- That Thing You Do: Again, I always rent it. I know the entire movie line by line.
- My Best Friend's Wedding: Cry every time. PS the only thing that repulses me about my husband is that he doesn't think Julia Roberts is beautiful.
- Arrested Development: Currently watching through the series, again. 100th time.
As you can see, this isn't riveting cinematography. Nothing dramatic. Nothing epic. Nothing new.
And that's why I think I love it. I know what's coming. I'm in control. It sounds messed up, but I actually fear losing control and getting sucked into an entire tv series or book. Or the opposite scares me. What if I go to a movie and I hate it? Two hours lost. I mean, c'mon Allie. GET A GRIP. THIS IS FOR FUN!
To be fair, I did watch the entire Game of Thrones series (so far) on HBO Go earlier this summer. Like, 50 episodes in three weeks. This is why I fear great storytelling. It's hard to have a life, see the light of day and work when you're consumed with a fictional world.
Perhaps I should be grateful that I can be swept up into these worlds. Books were my best friends in grade school. I sobbed when my mom finished reading the Little House on the Prairie novels. But I'm going to start embracing the gift. Being consumed by the art of storytelling is pretty awesome. No more resisting.
PS: I still won't watch shows like Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy. To me, there's a difference between a thrilling book and a show that causes excessive sweating and anxiety. I just can't do it.
Where do you like to live, fictionally? How has film + literature affected your adult life? Any movie or book recommendations?

Heymsfield carries a 3.75 cumulative GPA with a major in food and human nutrition. She was the Razorbacks' top national performer with a team high 55th-place finish in her career debut at the NCAA Championships. Throughout Arkansas' postseason run, Heymsfield was at or near the top of the team's scoring order. The Elkins, Ark., was a member of the All-SEC First Team and earned all-region honors.
Johnston carries a 3.97 cumulative GPA with a major in social work. At the NCAA Championships, she was Arkansas' third scorer with a 114th-place finish at the national meet. She finished in 15th place at the NCAA South Central Regional Championship and earned all-region honors. Johnston opened her championship season with a 29th-place finish at the conference meet.
Kamilos carries at 3.58 cumulative GPA with a major in kinesiology/P-12 physical education. Kamilos was an all-region performer with a 12th-place finish at the NCAA South Central Regional Championships. She was also part of the scoring lineup for the Razorbacks at the SEC Championships, crossing the line in 27th place overall and fourth among Arkansas runners.
Robison carries a 3.62 cumulative GPA with a major in food and human nutrition. She ran to a spot on the All-SEC Second Team with an 11th-place finish at the conference meet. Robison was the third runner in Arkansas' SEC scoring lineup. She also turned in a top-10 finish at the NCAA South Central Regional Championship and earned all-region recognition.
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have either earned USTFCCCA All-America status or finished in the NCAA region's top 15 (or top 10 percent) in 2012. To qualify as an All-Academic Team, the team must have had a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or better and have started at least five runners at their respective NCAA regional championship.
Arkansas will host the NCAA Indoor Championships (March 8-9) at the Randal Tyson Track Center for the 11th time in program history.

Appearing on a recent podcast for Empire Online, actress Saoirse Ronan has spoken a bit more about her audition for a key role in J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Wars" Episode VII".
The "Atonement" and "The Host" star wouldn't talk about the character she went in for, but did speak (albeit vaguely) about why she went in:
"Yeah, I did [audition for Star Wars Episode VII]… I don't know whether I should have said that now! I mean, everyone did. Everyone has auditioned for it.
So many people I know have gone in for the part I've gone in for, and guys who've gone in for a particular part, so I'd imagine J.J. is probably just scanning the earth to find the people that he needs.
But nobody has a clue what it's about, and nobody's read the script. So I've gone in and read for it, but I have to say, I think it's the only time I've ever thought, 'You know what? Even if I don't get it, I had so much fun auditioning, pretending to take out a lightsaber – out of a bag, kind of inspect it and not know what it is. That was… that was great. A lightsaber! Star Wars!"

I am not pleased to read the Oct. 25 Columbian story "Proposed settlement would broaden Medicare coverage," about the Vermont court settlement in which Medicare will no longer be able to deny nursing/therapy to patients whose conditions will not improve. Medicare has historically not been liable for nursing home costs. Will the system now have to pay for every expense that every elderly person will eventually rack up? It is well-known that the large majority of medical expense occurs in the last six months of life. President Obama tried to rein in these costs when pushing through Obamacare; the Republicans raised Cain about "death panels." If Medicare now is expected to pay for long-term nursing, all I can say about costs is, "Brother, you ain't seen nothin' yet!"
Health and Human Services Department spokeswoman Erin Britt said the "impact would be minimal." How so?
The lawsuit "challenged the government's practice of denying some coverage to patients whose condition was not improving." That covers anyone old and senile — basically, all of us who don't die from base jumping.
A civilized society cares for the young who have dreadful, incurable illnesses. A broke society tries to provide all services for all people at all stages of life.

- balloon catheter radiation
- listen (buh-LOON KA-theh-ter RAY-dee-AY-shun)
- A system used to deliver internal radiation therapy to breast cancer patients after surgery to remove their cancer. Balloon catheter radiation targets only the part of the breast where the cancer was found. After a patient has had a lumpectomy to remove the cancer, a small balloon on the end of a catheter (thin tube) is inserted into the empty space left by the surgery. The balloon is then filled with liquid and left in place. Using the catheter, radioactive seeds are put into the balloon twice a day for five days and removed each time. Once treatment has ended, the catheter and balloon are removed. Balloon catheter radiation is a type of intracavitary brachytherapy and partial breast irradiation therapy (PBRT). Also called MammoSite.

I'm hoping you guys can help me out with a few questions.
I just bought a late 80s italian road frame.
I would like it to be an 8-speed because that is what it was before.
I have a campy front and rear derailleur for it.
1) Do derailleurs function for any speed of bike or should I have a mechanic tell me what speed(s) it will work for?
2) I need to buy a wheelset. 700c. Ideally I'd like it to be an 8-speed bike. I'd like Mavic Ksyrium wheels but cannot find information on whether or not an 8-speed cassette is compatible with the wheels - would I have to get ones specialized for that?
3) Lastly, I'm looking to get a campy crankset. I see a lot advertised for 10-speeds. How do I know which cranks to get?
I've only built single speeds in the past and am new to the gear world. I apologize if these questions are too vague or asked often.
Any help would be wonderful!

While doing some riding i noticed that the rear darraileur can't stay in certain gears.
The problem is that i select one gear and often it keeps chanching between near gears.
I did some searching on what could be causing this but to no avail.
What do you think could be happening?
Thank you.

great in my zone 9 central valley location. took the over 100 heat in summer and survive the winter without wilt. Flowered continually through out the summer.
Flambe® Yellow Strawflower Chrysocephalum apiculatum
- Hardy Zones
- 9 - 10
- Exposure
- Sun
- Season
- Fall
- Mature Size
- 8 - 14 Inches
Tufted yellow flowers on silvery foliage; very heat and drought tolerant
Plant Needs
Use in planters or landscapes; great in informal drifts
Deadheading not necessary for continuous bloom. Plants will "bury their dead" (new flowers will quickly cover old flowers) so no deadheading necessary.
This is the perfect plant for almost all gardens. They don't just tolerate heat - they love it, yet they can withstand surprisingly cold temperatures also. One year mine were blooming right up until a December storm encased them in ice. The one thing they do not like is the soil staying too wet. They are quite drought tolerant though, what we call "an end of the hose plant," which simply means they will thrive even if you don't add additional water through the summer. If they start looking tired during the summer, a trim back can help them quickly bounce back into top form. In containers regular fertilization will be helpful, but in the landscape they will tolerate poor soils and low fertility. However, a dose of slow-release fertilizer or some compost added at the time of planting would be helpful.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
Flambé is one of Dr. Rick Schoellhorn's top ten favorites for Florida.
Are you looking for a plant for that hot dry part of your yard that never seems to get enough water? Flambé Chrysocephalum love heat and dry conditions and flower continuously through the summer. Small round golden orange flowers cover the plants. Give them air circulation and bright sun. they can be planted at any time of year except winter in north Florida.
"This was a pleasant surprise. I've used this plant [Chrysocephalum] and loved it, but it took a while before it became commercially available and landscapers understood its toughness. It [Flambé Yellow] was placed at an entrance as a groundcover beneath 'Stars and Stripes' pentas, a welcoming sight to our visitors. Plants were less than 6 inches tall, had wonderful insect and disease-proof gray-green foliage and were covered with bazillions of bright yellow flowers just above the foliage. Congratulations to Proven Winners and thank you for allowing us to trial this cultivar." - Dr. Allan Armitage, University of Georgia
Drought tolerant, Heat tolerant, sandy soil tolerant, frost
tolerant to 30F with minimal damage, so good for extending season both in spring and in fall. Somewhat salt tolerant.
Goes great with: Coleus Royal Glissade, Superbells Calibrachoa, any annuals or perennials where silver foliage can act as an accent. Best in bright full sun conditions!
Habit: Low mounding cultivars
Season: Spring through fall
Where does it come from: Tasmania and Australia
Tips: Like all Chrysocephalum and Helichrysum these plants love full hot sun and good air

Have grown this plant for two years in pots and in the ground ... excellent in both situations. Thrives in heat and drought but also does beautifully during rainy periods when it gets cooler as it does here. Wonderful as a cut flower, too!Lee WhiteMaineUnited States4 years ago
It is doing very well as an underplanting for miniature tree roses. It has been in bloom since I planted it. I cut some flowers and used them in a miniature arrangement for a flower show and won a blue ribbon!Sue SchairerCaliforniaUnited States4 years ago
One of the easiest and toughest. Started using in south MS and now have it in north MS over several years as a perenialJ. R. OwensMississippiUnited States4 years ago
Excellent plant for Florida sun & heat. Needs just a little water to survive and with average irrigation plant is beautiful.MikeFloridaUnited States4 years ago

Shot extensively in South Africa, Bengali blockbuster film "Chander Pahar (Mountain of the Moon)" has generated huge interest among travellers from West Bengal, said a South African tourism official.
Kamaleshwar Mukherjee's film, the most expensive Bengali celluloid outing till date, was filmed for 45 days in the 'Rainbow Nation'.
Based on author Bibhutibhushan Banerjee's novel, the movie was shot in locales like the Kruger National Park, Kalahari Desert, jungles of Mpumalanga, Elands River valley, Blyde River Canyon and the majestic Drakensberg Mountains.
Hanneli Slabber, country manager of South Africa Tourism told IANS: "We have received a lot of queries and there is a huge interest because of the movie."
The movie, which released December last year, has created a "tremendous" awareness about the variety the African country has to offer.
"We are working with Bengal tourism officials to help them put together various packages and options," Slabber said.
Among the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bangalore, the eastern metropolis ranks fourth in terms of number of tourists visiting South Africa.

(Damian Strohmeyer/SI)New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin rarely talks about himself and will generally do what he can to keep the conversation and focus on his team, but during the NFL meetings in Orlando earlier this week he briefly discussed his own legacy.While Coughlin admitted it doesn't dominate his thoughts, he did say that he believes he deserves some consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame."You want to be the very, very best you can be," Coughlin told Gary Myers of the New York Daily News. "If the highest point in recognition in our game is the Hall of Fame, then why not think about that? Do I think about it every day? No."Coughlin has captured two Super Bowl championships as head coach of the Giants (and one as an assistant) and thinks those titles put him in the conversation for the Hall of Fame."I think it merits consideration, yeah, but that's as far as I'm going. I don't think about it every day. I'd rather think about getting a group of players together that we can coach to win a game. That's where I am. Just one year, one game. Let's take care of today."MORE COVERAGE: 2014 NFL Mock Draft: Bortles goes No. 1 | 2014 NFL free agency gradesWhen you look at Coughlin's résumé, it is hard to deny that he deserves Hall of Fame consideration.Coughlin served as a longtime NFL assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and under Bill Parcells with the New York Giants, before heading to the college ranks and eventually returning to the pros as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Giants.He has racked up a 158–130 regular-season record and 12–7 postseason record during his coaching career. If Coughlin can lead the Giants on one final run before calling it a career, there is little doubt he will have his bust enshrined in Canton. Comments

I'm trying to install suntour command shifters (index only) on my mothers old Schwinn columbus steel touring bike. She likes the downtubes less and less as she gets older.
Its more difficult than I thought to find an indexing suntour rear derailler for the project that I'm working on. Anybody know how different the cable pull is on shimano vs suntour rear deraillers? Are accushift mtb deraillers different from accushift road deraillers? Do all shimano deraillers (old and new) have the same cable pull? Which shimano deraillers (vintage and discipline) have cable pull most similar to suntour deraillers?

Heard of some guys receiving tickets for their bike carrier blocking their rear plate.They had the hitch style rack.They just pay the fine and hope it doesn't happen again.Just thought I'd pass it along.
Heard of some guys receiving tickets for their bike carrier blocking their rear plate.They had the hitch style rack.They just pay the fine and hope it doesn't happen again.Just thought I'd pass it along.
So how would this be any different than pulling a trailer that blocks your plate? I think that could be beat in court very easily. I've carried bikes on my hitch carrier throughout many States and have never been pulled over for something like that.

2013 Giant Escape, 1987 Bianchi Strada LX, 2011 Schwinn Excursion
I once got pulled over for having my plate obscured by the bumper, even though everything was stock. After a pleasant chat, the trooper admitted that his real reason for pulling me over was because I was driving an old, beat-up pick-up in a high methamphetamine use/production area and such a vehicle fit the profile for such an "entrepreneur". I appreciated his honesty and courtesy. Besides, I had occasion to drive trucks and ride bikes on that stretch of roadway quite often and any trooper effort to get the drug-addled off the road before they run into me is a good thing in my book.
I don't put bikes on cars, it makes my bikes sad to travel that way. They barely tolerate the occasional train ride.

In any case, most US license plates are pretty illegible from more that about 20ft even when not obscured. Why don't we have plates which are legible from 25 yards at least, like the rest of the developed world. We might then have fewer unidentifiable hit and run drivers, for example. But I suppose getting money from decorating license plates with all kinds of rubbish is more important than safety.
I've known many rednecks over the years (including me) who obscure their plates with hitch mount carriers, equipment or other contrivances. Though it is possible to get a ticket for doing so, I don't recall anybody I knew ever getting a ticket. It's one of those things, like everybody driving 10mph (or more) over the limit. Yeah, you can get a ticket, but it happens so rarely nobody worries about it.
Of course, it always depends on the speed zone. In a 20 mile School Zone I always had a lot less tolerance than on a 70 mph expressway.
The Old Sarge
Perhaps I missed it, but the one thing missing in this discussion is the officer who gave the ticket. To me this is where the issue really lies. Why do it? What burr was under his saddle? On a person to person level, such an act is just mean spirited. I know, given my personality, I would most likely have asked, "So, you're having a bad day and I get to be the one that makes you feel better? This, of course, would not make the situation any better, but at least he or she would know that someone thinks their behavior is less that it should be.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. - S. Wright

Requirements for small utility trailer license plates vary by state. I don't think Wisconsin requires plates on small trailers. (don't know what the threashold is for exemption). There may be others.
They have alot of cameras in my area,so this could be a reason why they want the plates uncovered.

Update on AdiyasedMr. Adiyased, 50 years old, lives with his wife and two sons in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. He has been selling meat at an outdoor market for many years and also renders transportation service to local people using his minivan. His wife is a janitor at a private business entity.
He is requesting a loan of 7,000,000 MNT (Mongolian tugriks) to purchase building and insulation materials such as bricks, sand, shingles, fiberglass, foam and vacuum insulated windows. Using those materials, his hired house renovators will repair and insulate his house. As a result, the family will live in a comfortable and warm place where they don't need to burn lot of coal in order to heat the house. Reduction in coal consumption has a positive impact on the environment due to less pollutants being released into air. The borrower is a very hardworking individual who strives for a better future.
Previous Loan DetailsAdiyased, aged 48, is a businessman who runs two businesses together. He lives with his two sons and his wife in a house which is owned by one of his relatives. One of his businesses is as a meat seller at the bazaar and the other one is as a transportation driver using his minivan when he has no... More from Adiyased's previous loan »
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of Credit Mongol's green loan program, which helps clients to purchase products for improving their heating and ventilation systems, reducing pollution and health problems caused by burning coal in the winter.
About Credit MongolCredit Mongol is the largest non-banking financial institution (NBFI) in Mongolia. Its mission is to contribute to the prosperity of Mongolians by providing high-quality, affordable and varied financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It prioritizes serving remote, rural populations that have typically lacked access to credit and other financial services. Uniquely, it offers solar panel loans to nomadic herders, most of whom live without electricity.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

As many as 170 Israeli couples to take part in mass civil wedding in Cypriot port city Friday
Itamar Eichner
Published: 06.16.11, 14:23 / Israel Culture
Itamar Eichner
The southern Cypriot port city of Larnaca is about to host as many as 170 Israeli couple, who will take part in an unusual mass wedding on Friday.
Every year, some 1,500 Israeli couples marry in a civil marriage ceremony in the neighboring island. The proximity to Israel, the relatively low costs of flights and accommodation, the lack of bureaucratic difficulties and the fact that the Israeli Interior Ministry recognizes the Cypriot marriage certificate have all turned Cyprus into a particularly popular destination for those who can't or don't want to wed in a religious ceremony in Israel.
"Cyprus is the first or second destination Israelis prefer to go for a civil wedding, alongside Prague," says Deputy Israeli Ambassador Shani Cooper. "The couples arrive for a day or two to get married and combine it with a vacation."
"Most young couples that marry here are foreign, and many of them are Israeli," says the civil marriage officer of the Larnaca Municipality. "Only tomorrow I have eight weddings, five of them of couples from Lebanon."

For the next four weeks I'll be taking Holly Becker of decor8 Blogging Your Way course. I've been a long time admirer of Holly's work. She spends time thinking about what she says and posts simple, but obviously well thought out pictures. I am so excited to take a fresh look at my blog and they way and why I am doing it. My assignment for week 1 is to answer these questions.
I started thinking about some of the things I love in my home. Since I spend so much of my time here raising my family and creating my art as well. I find myself reflected in the things I surround myself with. This of course excludes the kids room, which is strewn with Legos and little boy imagination. The rest of the house has reminders to be thoughtful, intentional and inspired.
I started my blog with the intention to post pictures of my creative work. Several posts over the years have been personal, maybe too personal. I tend to not blog about my family much. I don't often blog about my process, maybe its the pressure to only post finished projects. The rate that I finish things is much slower than a professional DIY-er or artist. I've been trying to focus more on the artist part of my work.
While I've been thinking about these questions it's brought up questions of my own.
Why is it important to me to share what I create and how I feel about it?
(I could just make, enjoy and give things away…but I feel this desire to share it with others.)
Who even reads this blog? Does it matter if no one reads it?
(If you are reading this, bless you! Please, tell me why you think you read my blog when there are thousands to choose from.)
What would happen if I stopped blogging? What would happen if I spent more time on it?
What do I think about organizing my posts more? Could a sense of regularity help or hinder my blog?
How do I find more time? (Ha! How does anyone?!) A better question would be…
How do I organize my time better to make room for my need to share?
What do I want from this experience?
What do I want to share with others?
Why do you blog? Have you thought about it?

YOUNGSTOWN — Police are looking for two men who burglarized an occupied home, holding a gun to the head of a teenage boy.
According to police, the 17-year-old Rush Boulevard boy was lying on a couch Sunday evening at his South Side home when he heard a knock on the door. The boy said he recognized one of the men as a friend of his brother, but when he opened the door the man put a gun to his head and forced him to lay on a couch.
The teen told police a second man game into the home and stole a video game system and some games while he was being held at gunpoint. The boy's mother and father were upstairs in the home at the time of the robbery.
vindicator said recently that murders were down from last year, but the number of burglaries/robberies have to be way up, it's never-ending and i don't hear mayor williams or other leaders talking about it
"The boy said he recognized one of the men as a friend of his brother"
Thats cool. They requested and were given some games . This was simply a matter of friends helping friends .
If the boy recognized one of them as a friend of his brother, then they should mention his name.
Who gives a damn what color these people are. The problem is that crimes are being commited in all areas. It does not take a genius to figure out that the majority of the crimes that are being commited in the inner city of y-town involve Afr Amer., why is that you ask? It's b/c there are more Afr Amer living in this areas that are being affected.
But if you ask residents in Boardman, Hubbard, Poland, Austintown, and other nearby areas, you would be floored with the amount of crap that happens and unfortunately never makes it to the paper...hmm....doesn't that make you wonder.
Oldest scam in the book. The kid won't remember the "friends" name and send the police on a wild goose chase while his parents get him NEW game system on their insurance. The brother probably set the whole thing up so his buddies got the Xbox/ps3. Just a theory.
Back in the day when the mob ran Youngstown, there was a white mayor and a white police chief and there was white on white crime. i wonder did anyone call for the heads of the mayor and police chief because they were white? Crime is crime no matter what color the Mayor or Police Chief is.

Honda recalls 800,000 more vehicles for parking brake failure
This hasn't been a good past few months for the auto industry.

Honda is the latest to issue a recall, saying that 800,000 of their vehicles are at risk of rolling away due to a potential parking brake failure.

Good morning.........
I am in search of a really good sausage gravy. I have tried many but they don't seem to have enough flavor or really any flavor, just like eating white sauce with sausage in it !!
I know someone out there must love biscuits and gravy as much as we do. My boys used to think breakfast wasn't complete without biscuits and on SOS days.........well lets just say there was NEVER any leftovers. Of course they are all grown up and gone now but, I'm still searching for the perfect gravy for hubby.
Good morning.........
Replies to this discussion
When my Dad used to make sausage gravy, he always made the roux incorporating the caramelized bits of sausage left in the skillet. The gravy was more of an ivory color and very rich, he used whole milk and lots of sausage. I've never seen anyone else make the gravy this way. Frank @ KAF.
Thanks for the idea....I'll try this tomorrow morning.
While I love SOS, I've never really gotten into sausage gravy and biscuits, especially for breakfast.
But if you're looking to pep up the sauce, try making more of a blond or brown roux by cooking it longer, and then replace some of the milk with beef stock.
Great idea......using stock. I'll have to try this also !
I grew up with gravy made with the yummy bits in the pan whether it was fried hamburgers, chicken or just about anything my mama fried and had gravy with. Ohhhhh, the good old days of all that fried food. Lol
That is definitely the way to get the gravy richly flavored.
My mother always made gravy by pouring off most of the grease from sausage, fried chicken or chicken fried steak, then adding flour directly to the pan, scraping up the fond and browning the flour, then adding milk which in those days was whole milk.
A dash of worchestershire sauce and a pinch of cayanne pepper to your gravy for a flavor booster!
I absolutely agree with Frick's comment on pouring out the fat, saving the nearly-burnt bits in the pan, and adding flour. I like super-rich flavor with minimal fat, so my method could be called "(nearly) burn and return:" brown the sausage or whatever you're using (I prefer chicken giblets) until the bits stuck to the pan are very brown, remove nearly all the fat, add flour, stir and cook for a moment until the flour is brown, add liquid (preferably mushroom stock), stir, and reduce. This is NOT a speedy process, and trying to make it speedy will just make for white gravy!
One last trick is to add some mushrooms, either in the form of sliced fresh mushrooms (white buttons or cremini are fine), powdered dried mushrooms, and/or mushroom stock as the liquid. If you don't want obvious mushroom pieces, dried mushroom powder is fantastic to boost flavor without making overtly mushroomy gravy. If you can't buy powder, just whoosh a few asian dried mushrooms (any variety will do) in a spice blender until pulverized.
Hi All,
Where to begin.......so many great tips !!
Thank You all.......We are going to have biscuits and gravy for sunday breakfast.
Then I'm going to bake bread and cookies for g'kids.
I brown my sausage, drain off most of the grease and add the flour right on top of the sausage, just like the others. Stir in and add the milk. For more flavor, I use Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage and add a little garlic powder, as well. Yummm! Think I'll make some, soon.
I use this recipe at our soup kitchen. It makes a LOT!
Sausage Gravy for 150
150 servings, 4 ounces each.
20 pounds ground sausage, browned - reserve fat
3 pounds of unsalted butter
4.15 pounds of flour
4 gallons whole milk
1 gallon chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
8 tablespoons sage
Brown sausage (165 degrees).
Drain, reserving fat.
In same pan, melt butter and add back 2 cups fat. Scrape up fond. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour taste disappears - about 20 minutes.
Whisk in chicken stock and milk.
Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
Add back cooked sausage, adjust seasonings, serve over split buttermilk biscuit.
If I freeze this will it reheat well ?? I'm thinking that it should and you know It always comes in handy.
I have a few other recipes that came from a family member that worked in the school cafeteria and those are hugh quanities also.
I'm not sure if it will freeze or not - never tried it. I wouldn't be surprised if it separates a bit when frozen. Shouldn't hurt it though.
Sounds so good... I'm betting the mushrooms add umami, that "meaty flavor" the Japanese note along with sour, sweet, bitter, salty... Mushrooms are a great source of umami.
I like to use can milk in place of or in combination with regular milk. To me it gives it a richer flavor.

Ellie Black made a historic breakthrough with her ninth place finish in the women's individual all-around at the 2014 FIG World Championships, posting Canada's best-ever result in the event. At those worlds she also qualified for the beam final, making it the third straight major global event in which she had been in the top-eight on an individual apparatus. She had reached the floor exercise final at the 2013 Worlds and the vault final at the 2012 Olympic Games. Black made her Olympic debut in London just months after she had been a longshot just to make the Olympic team, but ended up as one of the squad's top performers (their leading scorer on vault and beam) en route to Canada's best-ever fifth place finish in the team event. Black ended a lengthy drought at the 2013 Universiade where she became the first Canadian female artistic gymnast to win a medal at the world student games since 1983. She was one of five athletes to win five medals at Toronto 2015, making her Canada's decorated athlete of those Pan Am Games. Her gold medal in the individual all-around was the first by a Canadian in the event since San Juan 1979 and the first by a non-American since Caracas 1983.
Family: Parents Thomas and Katharine Black… Older sister Karen… Younger brother William… Getting into the Sport: Started competitive gymnastics at age 9… Outside Interests: On hiatus from her kinesiology studies at Dalhousie University to focus on Toronto 2015 and Rio 2016… Odds and Ends: Favourite motto: Dream big, don't let anyone else set your limits…

The North Carolina Department of Transportation says replacing open turn lanes on the US-70 East business corridor with a median will increase driver safety, but business owners say the median will limit access to their shops.
A 2008 traffic study shows there were 39 crashes within 5 years along the mile stretch of highway. The DOT's median project is estimated to cost about $900,000. The current design shows the first median section starting by the McDonald's at the intersection of 58 South and Highway 70 and ending by the Hampton Inn on Highway 70 near 258. The plan calls for some turn lanes, but many business owners say if people can't make a left-hand turn into their parking lots, they might not come in at all.
"If they put these medians out there, it's just going to... this part of Highway 70 will die. It's just, we'll be dead. I just can't express that enough - it's just, we'll be dead," said Susie Jenkins with the Kinstonian Family Buffet.
The DOT is seeking public comments on the project. They're due March 10th. Once comments are received, Kinston leaders and Lenoir County Transportation Committee members will meet with DOT for a final project design.

I don't know what else to tell you guys for information. The only thing I ever changed was things with the move dive, and badge restrictions and adding new stones.
It certainly shouldn't be switches, I use custom switches all the time and I've never had this problem. What did you do to dive though? Did you change it completely. Did your new move require some scripts?

This Man Wants Jeter's Job
One goal drove Eduardo Nunez when he arrived at the track at 7:30 a.m. over the winter to run alongside Robinson Cano to begin 11 hours of daily workouts: He wants to be the man who succeeds Derek Jeter.
"I want to be the shortstop one day," Nunez said. "I think about that. I'm working for that."
That is a tall assignment, one that will require mental toughness in addition to on-field skill, and when that time draws nearer, other candidates will surely emerge. But Nunez, the Yankees' utility infielder, is on a multi-year campaign to show that the goal he envisions can become real.
"I want to show what I can do. It's different between what you think, and what you show," Nunez said.
"I don't work to be utility all my life, or to be an average player. No. I work to be the best in my position. When they give me my position one day, I'm going to be ready," he said.
Nunez, 24, is an intriguing combination of physical ability, smarts and talent, and he has a tremendously important role to play for the team, where he is much more involved than the average utility player.
With Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter in frequent need of days off, Nunez plays almost every day at shortstop, third base or, occasionally, in the outfield or at second base. He is also the primary pinch-runner off the bench when he doesn't start, and manager Joe Girardi said his role is vital to making this older Yankee team work.
"For this team to be successful I think he has to play well. I think he's a big part of it," Girardi said.
He hit .265 with five home runs and 22 steals in an encouraging rookie year last season, but there is a caveat—as much as the Yankees like Nunez and have long believed in his upside, he is very, very raw. Last year, he made 20 errors between his time at shortstop and third base, earning the pejorative nickname of Nun-E from some quarters.
Cano has taken Nunez under his wing, and wants to see his friend succeed. So this winter, Cano invited Nunez to train with him in his hometown in the Dominican Republic, which was a rude awakening for Nunez.
"We tried to get better in every aspect of the game," Cano said. "He's a guy that asks questions when he doesn't know something, but he's smart. He learns quick."
To Cano, that means workouts starting at dawn and ending at sundown. From Monday through Friday, Cano and Nunez would hit the track at 7:30 a.m., and run for over an hour. Then from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., it was time for baseball work—hitting, fielding, drills. Then lunch. After that, it was time to hit the weight room for anywhere from two to two-and-a-half hours. Nunez was stunned by the rigor.
"I didn't think big league guys worked like that," Nunez said. "I thought it's easy once they are there. But they work three times as much as in the minor leagues. Now I know why they're so good."
Nunez would try to beg off some of the workouts. Cano would put his foot down.
"I'd say, 'I'm tired man. Let's relax today,'" Nunez said. "And he'd say no. Come on. Let's go. He's very serious when he works."
Cano even hired a fielding instructor, former Yankee coach Rafael Jimenez, to help Nunez cut down on his throwing errors.
While Nunez has made one error so far this season, all have been impressed by his improved throwing, and his work ethic.
Jeter, in particular, has taken a liking to Nunez, and is impressed by his ability to be carefree and have fun while also being driven to improve.
Jeter is under contract for this season and next, with an option for 2014. It is not clear if he will sign another deal when that contract concludes. But Jeter does believe Nunez has the talent to be a Yankee regular someday, if the situation arises.
"I see no reason why not," Jeter said. "But you have to continue to work. That's the key. It's difficult to get here, but it's harder to stay. I think he's doing well in the job that he has now, and if he continues to work, he's only going to get better."
Nunez wants that, badly. So in the meantime, he's listening to Jeter and Cano, working hard, and dreaming of what could be someday.
"I know I'm not ready yet to compete with these guys. But soon, I think I will have the ability to help at this level," Nunez said.
Cano thinks Nunez can pull it off—and will someday be a star.
"I'd put my money on him," Cano said.
