... which must be taken with food? Some of my meds indicate that if they cause nausea, they should be taken with food. Will the coating action of Pepto make it improbable that the meds will be absorbed?
Pepto-Bismol - If Pepto coats the stomach against acid, would it also inhibit the absorption of meds

No, medicines can still be absorbed in the presence of Pepto-Bismol.
The following drugs can interact with bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol)
Tell your doctor if you are using any of these:
a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin);
insulin or diabetes medications you take by mouth;
medications to treat gout, such as probenecid (Benemid) or sulfinpyrazone (Anturane);
medication used to prevent blood clots, such as alteplase (Activase), streptokinase (Kabikinase, Streptase), and urokinase (Abbokinase);
salicylates such as aspirin, Novasal, Doan's Extra Strength, Salflex, Tricosal, and others; or
a tetracycline antibiotic, including doxycycline (Adoxa, Doryx, Oracea, Vibramycin), minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn, Vectrin), and others.

How do you know for sure that Medications will absorb after taking Pepto- Bismol, except for the Medications that you mentioned? Where's the evidence? Over the past several years I have read from many different sources, that any Antacid including Pepto-Bismol must be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after any Medications. I know from my own experience that this is true.

So I met up with some friends I do some business with at a beach in Chicago and I rode down there. Well the beached closed so I headed home and passed some of the local hooligans and ne'er-do-wells who were labeling passers by with nicknames and such based on their appearance.
I was called "Lance Armstrong". Granted not my first choice but it was better than "fat guy on a little bike" which I have not so lovingly gotten before.
I should have offered to race them (they ALL had some nice bikes for being in their teens..... ) bike for bike but didn't think of it till after I was on my way. Maybe next time I will and end up with a nice single speed or other road bike.

Annie Schwemmer, Renovation Design Group
We recently heard a statement from a woman who was planning a new custom home, and something she said resonated with us: "The kitchen to me is the life of the family." We think this is true for so many families. The kitchen is the command center, the heart of the home for the residents and entertainment central where guests congregate during parties of all sorts. People flock to the kitchen even when it isn't built for more than the cook.
This woman made an excellent point. She spent some time and effort to analyze how she really uses her current kitchen, where it was lacking, and how she could make it function better. She is a working mom with six young children, an avid cook who enjoys entertaining for friends, families and business clients.
One thing she noticed was that many traditional kitchen plans were not built for her real life. "Reality is that when I cook a meal I am going to have three of my six little ones under foot," she said. So for her, the flow of the kitchen was important. She needed the pathways and walkways to allow for some traffic. "I needed an efficient, real kitchen. I needed it laid out in such a way that I don't have to hurdle over the children but have space to just step around them," she says.
She wanted her kitchen to cook like an industrial kitchen but not look like one. The appliances and overall flow, efficiency and functionality of the kitchen were all high on the priority list. It is refreshing to hear someone who understands the value of great design built with a lifestyle in mind. That is our pride and joy; that is what we do every day.
So many of our clients come to us knowing that their home doesn't quite fit, that something is awry but they can't quite put a finger on it. Sometimes it takes a new set of eyes — professionally trained eyes — to review your current house and pinpoint where it is lacking and not meshing well with your lifestyle. This is the client that doesn't know what he or she is missing. They don't know their home's potential.
Our target subject knew what she was missing. Her existing kitchen was minuscule with a stove that her mother's era cooked on. The plan for the new house includes upgraded appliances and allocates 200 square feet to provide plenty of cook/prep space with an organized traffic flow designed to keep little ones out from under foot.
People love island counters in a kitchen for several reasons. One is that it provides informal seating when you don't have time to sit at the dining table. Another is the ample square footage of counter space available, either for food preparation, serving space for buffet dining, or used as general space for the creation of great art or science fair projects. Finally, a well-placed island provides a gentle barrier between the hard-core cooking area and the guests who may congregate in the general vicinity. They will tend to sit or gather on the outer side of the island because they still have close contact with the "action" but aren't as apt to intrude into the true working space of the kitchen.
Many older kitchens from the '60s, '70s, and '80s have a peninsula rather than an island, and often they have cabinets hanging above them, which narrows the opening into the space to a few feet just above waist height. This type of layout creates a "dead end" that traps everyone who is attracted to the kitchen and becomes a nightmare for the mother or hostess who is trying to complete a meal.

After serving 21-years in the U.S. Air Force as a pilot, staff officer and commander, I retired. I then studied in the eminent IOWA Writers' Workshop/in the famed Expository Writing Program, earned the masters degree in writing. Since, four novels--in six editions--have been published. There are, as well, four co-authored screenplays in Hollywood. Patrick Hoeft and I are Co-Authors, and our favorite is "The Ironmen," starring Legendary Nile Kinnick, Heisman Trophy Winner, and the outstanding 1939 IOWA football team; This "IOWA Screenplay" is presently with six producers, or their agents: "It may become a major motion picture..."Friendly reminder: Anything you post here is public and can be viewed by anyone (even your mother!)

Oklahoma State positions primed to have co-starters in 2012
The running back duo of Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith is Oklahoma State's prime example of a 1A and 1B combo. But that's not the only position where the Cowboys are likely to, essentially, have co-starters in 2012.
Sure, one guy will technically top the depth chart and the other will be the backup. Both will see an almost equal amount of playing time, however, and who starts could depend on who had the better week of practice, the specific offensive play called or one player's strengths in a certain defensive package.
Things can change during a long season, of course. But here's a breakdown of the Cowboys' other 1A/1B tandems heading into the season.
Defensive end: Cooper Bassett and Nigel Nicholas
This is the only starting position that has the infamous "or" on the preseason depth chart. Call these guys the Cowboys' utility players. Bassett has played tight end, defensive tackle and defensive end at OSU, while Nicholas began his career as an undersized tackle before moving back out to his natural position of end this spring.
Strong safety: Lavocheya Cooper and Shamiel Gary
This position battle was detailed in my story for Monday's paper. Not only will Cooper and Gary both play about 60 snaps per game, they'll often be on the field at the same time.
Wide receiver: Isaiah Anderson and Charlie Moore
Perhaps Moore, who has followed up his breakout spring performance with a strong fall camp, has pushed Anderson to elevate his game in his senior season. Rave reports from teammates and coaches have come out about Anderson in recent days, noting that the he's using his speed to find open space and is catching the ball with his hands, rather than his body, better than ever.
Middle linebacker: Caleb Lavey and Ryan Simmons
Lavey was a dependable force in the middle for the Cowboys last season, ranking third on the team with 74 tackles. But Simmons is perhaps the most talented of a stout group of second-team linebackers, which will automatically demand playing time.

"Russia's number one bathing resort" Top 5 Page for this destination Sochi by Pavlik_NL
Sochi Travel Guide: 98 reviews and 316 photos
Sochi, deep down the South of Russia's Black Sea coast, is by far the most popular bathing resort for this huge country and the only remaining hotspot within the countries borders (the popular Krym-area and Odessa surroundings, are now situated in the Ukraine). Sochi stretches out between Adler on the Georgian border and Tuapse vicinity. Until the third decade of the 19th century, this area was Turkish (Osman) territory, but slowly the Kozak army of the tsars conquered Southwards until the mountains of the Kaukasus. These mountains create a beautiful coastline along Sochi's long spread territory. On one side the blue waters of the Black Sea and on the other side the green mountaintops rising until 1.500 meters heigth. Further land inward tops exceed over 4.000 meters to reach the highest European peak on the Elbrus, 5.642 meters!
The shape of Sochi-territory is strange, very strange. It stretches out over 270 kilometers close against the coast and concists of several towns and villages, that are connected by a coastal road and a railway. One can regard to Sochi as one district, but longest city of Europe is maybe a little overdone. Lazerovskoe is the most Northern outskirt of greater Sochi, to follow over many other little villages (such as Loo and Dagomys) to "Central Sochi". South of this true Sochi that I will show in this page are several townparts (or actually quite independant looking towns) again: Khosta and Adler.
Still, Central Sochi is very much worth your attention and I will show you some delights in this summer resort of Russia. True, it is actually from and for Russians and you will hardly find any foreign tourists in this place. This is on one hand a shame, on the other hand, Russian tourism is hardly inviting foreigners with necessary flexibility (lingual skills, foreign ways for booking holidays and international flights to and from Sochi-Adler). If these things would change, Sochi can very well be a popular holiday resort for Europeans and people from other continents. Temperatures are in summertime very hot and the sea water temperatures even reaches an outrageous 28 degrees Celsius. Besides this beachfun, the area offers a wide variation in interesting cultural, historical and entertainment attractions, such as mountain villages, traditional Russian items, caves, castles, museums, dolfinarium, waterfalls, hiking traisl through amazing nature and more. Check out also my Dagomys, Adler and Krasnaya Polyana page to get a full image on the Sochi territory.

Thanx for your page, Paul! I just have to go there.....
I am planning to go to Sochi for one week with my wife and 11-year-old daughter around end of March. Your comments are valuable for me. Did you encounter any safety issues in the city? how was the prices for accommodation, transport and food?
I enjoyed your Sochi pages very much. Thanks! Brian
Great page...just read about Sochi bidding for the 2014 Winter Olympics, so I was curious to find out more :@P
Wonderful pages about Sochi! I hope I'll visit it one day... would you suggest it to a group of 25-year-old boys looking for a bathing resort and nightlife fun?? I've already been to Estonia & Latvia and I speak a little Russian. Greetz Marco.

Recently Martin Katz came on a first visit to Japan. He brought to exhibit in Tokyo a collection of diamond jewelry valued at 10 billion yen. The collection included many pieces worn by Hollywood stars at the red-carpeted award ceremonies of the Oscars. Martin is widely known as the jeweler to whom Hollywood's top-flight celebrities turn when they want the most shimmering necklaces, the most sparkling rings, the most glittering bracelets to wear at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Emmy award shows. He is appreciative of the luster given him as jeweler to the stars, but the value to him is in the advertisement. For the shows, the stars borrow his jewelry. His clients are the very rich. "The celebrities and models are my showcase," he said. "I would like to be known as jeweler to the industrial rich."
For a man still in his 40s, smart, self-made and living a life of glamour, Martin in person is remarkably low-key and unassuming. The fourth of five children born to a father in the business of industrial dry cleaning, Martin grew up in Indiana. He said: "My mother loved jewelry. We used to visit my aunt who worked in a jeweler's shop in Chicago. My sister pointed out a showcased diamond there and hissed at me, 'Look, that's 4 carats.' I had no idea what she meant, but I was mesmerized. I was 10."
He certainly knew what he was about when he entered Indiana University in Bloomington, as he chose fittingly to study psychology and business. "When I was a sophomore I wanted something I could sell to female students in their dorms," he said. "I thought of silver trinkets with turquoise, about $4 each."
After graduation, "with $300 to my name, I packed my car and drove to California. I felt I could spend a year at the coast and have some fun," he said. "I took a job in a jewelry store. It was strictly a business, but something else seemed to catch me and led me to find my artistic way." He moved up to managing the firm's branch in San Francisco. "After about eight years, I felt stuck," he said. "I quit and began my own business."
In Los Angeles he worked from a dining-room table in his one-bedroom apartment. From the beginning he built personal relationships as foundations for his business. He sought out his clients by taking his jewelry to them, practices that he still often continues. When he reached the attention of Hollywood, he was selective in the stars and stylists he accepted to work with, and would not proceed unless trust was established.
Martin searched for his stones at estate sales and auctions, many of them in Europe. He bought vintage pieces that no longer fit their owners' tastes. He developed his principles. A dealer, he says, should be very particular about style and quality. He should establish a strict buying philosophy leading to unfaltering integrity. He should build an inventory that speaks of him and his taste, which will become as recognizable as a signature.
Martin's original designs, he says, project a youthful attitude, "contemporary pieces with an old soul." All his pieces are signed and numbered. He said: "To this day, diamonds attract me more than any other stone. They are scintillating, hypnotic, spiritual. They are the absolute in discrimination, elegance and charm. I am drawn to their colors — rare blue, pink and green and yellow. My passion is for the cream of the cream."
Martin has a retail salon in Beverly Hills, and a New York salon on Madison Avenue. He likes to fly airplanes, and says collecting art pieces is a passion of his. He has a Picasso and a Hockney in his collection.
Customers who go to him in his Beverly Hills penthouse studio sit at a jewel bar. They discuss their gowns, makeup and hair styles, and the jewelry that will go with them. His jewelry has to fit personalities as well as gowns, he says. Relativity comes into it too. Not for Martin is the old adage that diamonds should be worn only after 5 p.m. "Relativity and design determine the daily wearability of my diamonds. Important pieces can be versatile and fun, and be understated and worn casually," he said.
Now that he has adorned more than 200 Hollywood stars with his jewelry, he believes that success comes with "a consistent, meticulous approach to quality, design, craftsmanship and jewelry philosophies." He says he has always endeavored to stay true to his own artistic voice. His advice to others is, "Find your voice and speak out."

Hey all, Kathy here. Thanks for stopping by for my very first blog post. I intend to give you a little glimpse into my life as an avid follower of the Paleo diet and all the health benefits it has afforded me over the last year.
During my time as a mother, I have treated my body very, very poorly. I ate a bunch of horrible processed junk food. I drank a lot of alcohol and smoked cigarettes on a regular basis. By my fortieth birthday I felt horrible. My weight was out of control. My skin was dry and itchy. My hair was thinning out and I had absolutely no energy.
I knew that I needed to do something, but I wasn't so sure what exactly I should pursue. I started by simply reducing the volume that I ate and running a little bit. While I certainly saw some results, they were far from what I was hoping for. I was especially looking forward to increased energy levels, but they did not come on as strongly as I had hoped for.
I tried various health supplements and products and boy, was that a big mistake. It honestly was the worst. I got a bunch of zits and felt extra hormonal. I wanted to be fit, not a teenage girl! At this point, I honestly started to feel a little discouraged about the whole thing and started to get worried that I wouldn't be able to meet my personal wellness goals.
But lucky for me, a friend at school turned me on to the whole Paleo diet thing. He learned in his evolutionary science class that our bodies have developed over time to function best on the types of food that were available to our ancestors when they first emerged on the scene millions of years ago.
I was a little skeptical at first, mostly due to the types of things I could eat (grains, dairy, sugar), but at this point I was willing to give it a try. What I found was that when combined with exercise, this Paleo thing really worked for me. Not only did I look better, but I felt better too!
Though I enjoyed seeing the results of the Paleo diet, actually eating Paleo got pretty old pretty quickly. I found myself eating a lot of raw fruits and vegetables since I was in college and meat is expensive. I didn't know if I could stick to this 'bland' diet that I thought Paleo was.
Fortunately, I found Paleo Leap – The Paleo recipe book and all the incredible recipes that it has. This is a great little ebook that helped me stick it out with the Paleo diet and get to where I am today! One of my biggestest regrets during this season in my life is not having found a Paleo cook book like this from the start. It's made an incredible positive inpact on my culinary life and I know it will blow your mind too!


text: This is my second season playing and I feel pretty comfortable with the sport. A couple of my teammates recommended I get the Crux10 head or complete stick or even just the Crux, but a worker at a lacrosse store said to wait a couple of years before I try a Crux. Opinions or advice?

Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune believes it's unlikely the Bears will trade running back Matt Forte, but he also doesn't believe it can be completely ruled out either.
As Pompei points out, the problem with trading Forte is that the Bears would still need to sign him to the long-term deal that he desires and they don't want to pay him. But if a team was willing to make the Bears an offer they couldn't refuse, it could happen.
In the end, the best move for the Bears would be to trade him away for in order to receive some type of compensation in return for him.Follow PFZ on Twitter @ProFootballZone

Japanese Kid Plays Soccer Like A Ninja
Awesome skills! Don't miss his goal at 2:53.
If there's anything this kid should learn, is that soccer is a teamwork game. A lot of the time it seems he depended on himself entirely to get a goal. If he keeps on doing that, his other teammates will slowly drift away and sit at the bench.

Alternate cuts
Many typefaces designed with a pen on paper (especially those from the 20th century) were licensed by different foundries, and were later independently digitized by them. Some special characters such as @ or the euro sign, were independently added later. Those "alternate cuts" are different digital versions of basically the same typeface design. They often vary in character set, letter proportions and kerning. Some are published under different names.

text: Posted June 17, 2013 Perception: the courts are biased against fathers, who almost never get custody. Fact: Though it is true that women are far more likely to be awarded custody, they are also far more likely to ask for it in the first place. To establish bias, one must show (at the very minimum) that equally qualified fathers who request custody are denied more than half of the time, and here the data prove inconvenient. Courts can't be expected to award what they're not asked to. It turns out that fathers who ask for custody (and don't give up) are very likely to get either sole or joint custody: From a state of Massachusetts study of custody awards at the state and national level come these studies of cases where fathers requested custody: Study 1: MASS 2100 cases where fathers sought custody (100%) 5 year duration 29% of fathers got primary custody 65% of fathers got joint custody 7% of mothers got primary custody Study 2: MASS 700 cases. In 57, (8.14%) father sought custody 6 years 67% of fathers got primary custody 23% of mothers got primary custody Study 3: MASS 500 cases. In 8% of these cases, father sought custody 6 years 41% of fathers got sole custody 38% of fathers got joint custody 15% of mothers got sole custody Study 4: Los Angeles63% of fathers who sought sole custody were successful Study 5: US appellate custody cases51% of fathers who sought custody were successful (not clear from wording whether this includes just sole or sole/joint custody) The study concluded: The high success rate of fathers does not by itself establish gender bias against women. Additional evidence, however, indicates that women may be less able to afford the lawyers and experts needed in contested custody cases (see "Family Law Overview") and that, in contested cases, different and stricter standards are applied to mothers. More on fathers and custody: Through most of Anglo-American legal history, there was little custody litigation because there was nothing to fight over. Dad always got the kids. Under English and early American common law, children were regarded as paternal property. In the mid-1800s, the Industrial Revolution swept fathers out of jobs at or near home and into factories and businesses, prompting the courts to reverse course on custody. Under the "tender years" doctrine, eventually adopted in every state, the mother was presumed to be the proper custodian, especially for young children. In the 1970s, this doctrine was replaced by the ostensibly gender-neutral "best interest of the child" standard. Today, only five states—Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee—have some form of maternal preference in custody statutes or case law, says Jeffrey Atkinson, author of Modern Child Custody Practice, 2d ed., and professor at DePaul University College of Law in Chicago. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled on maternal preferences, Atkinson believes these holdout states are on shaky constitutional ground. "A presumption that women are inherently better able to care for children than men is not a legitimate, accurate method for determining custody," he says. Old stereotypes die hard, though, and fathers' rights advocates say neutral statutory language has done little to change the courts' pro-mother leanings. Moms are granted custody in 85 percent of all cases, notes Dianna Thompson, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based American Coalition for Fathers and Children. She says the expense of litigation and likelihood of losing discourages many dads from even fighting for custody. However, statistics on custody awards can be deceiving, since most custody orders are uncontested or negotiated by the parties. A 1992 study of California cases showed that fathers were awarded primary or joint custody in about half of contested custody matters. Some lawyers believe the gender gap in custody awards reflects a preference for the status quo, rather than bias against fathers. "Family law is a case-by-case, judge-by-judge affair," says Joel Bigatel, a family lawyer in Narberth, Pa. "If there's a bias in awarding custody, it's in favor of primary caretakers. If dad is the working parent, and mom is the stay-at-home, she generally has a leg up." Working fathers have the best shot at being named primary caretakers if they have flexible schedules, or if the mother is also working and the children are already in day care or school, says Bigatel.

The Federal Trade Commission has granted the request of the state of Maine for an exemption from certain provisions of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). A discussion of the FTC's decision is published in the Dec. 27 Federal Register, and the effective date will be March 26, 1996.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, enforced primarily by the FTC, prohibits debt collectors from using false or misleading statements, harassing or abusive conduct or any unfair methods to collect debts. Among other things, debt collectors are prohibited from making false threats to coerce payment; using deceptive collection notices that falsely appear to be from an attorney or a court; and engaging in any sort of harassment, such as threatening violence, using profanity and obscenities, or making continuous telephone calls. Under the FDCPA, states can apply for an exemption if they have existing laws that cover the same debt collection practices covered by the federal law. To obtain an exemption, the state laws must provide an overall level of protection to the consumer that is substantially similar to that provided by the federal FDCPA, and the state must demonstrate that there is adequate provision for enforcement.
Maine is the first state to seek an exemption from the FDCPA. In its May 1994 petition, Maine stated that provisions of its Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and related statutes provide substantially similar or greater protection for consumers than similar provisions of the federal FDCPA. Maine's request was placed on the public record for comments for 90 days. Two comments were received.
After evaluating the request and the comments received, the Commission has granted Maine an exemption from Sections 803-812 of the FDCPA for various classes of debt collection practices conducted within the State of Maine. The exemption includes all intrastate written and oral debt collection communications which are deceptive, unfair or abusive under the Maine law.
The exemption will remain in effect as long as the Maine law continues to afford substantially equivalent protection to that of the FDCPA. Maine is required, however, to provide a report to the Commission no later than two years after the date this exemption becomes effective, and every two years thereafter, concerning the manner in which the State has enforced its law.
The Commission vote to grant the state of Maine's request for exemption from provisions of the FDCPA was 5-0.
Copies of Federal Register notice and of the original petition for exemption are available from the FTC's Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 202-326-2222; TTY for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261. To find out the latest FTC news as it is announced, call the FTC's NewsPhone recording at 202-326-2710. FTC news releases and other materials also are available on the Internet at the FTC's World Wide Web Site at: http://www.ftc.gov

I really wanted to give this CG a higher rating. The owner was very nice and accommodating. Even though the park has a lot of perm residents it's pretty nice and landscaped well. The pool area is very relaxing. The issue is the ants. At first I thought our site was on an anthill, we had thousands of small ants throughout our coach and we had to throw a lot of food away. The owner let us move but every other site had a similar issue. Maybe it's the area. Take the ants away and this is a very nice park and I would stay here again. - Way2Roll

This is a park designed for long term residents with only a few sites for overnighters or short-termers so reservations would probably be a must especially during the busy summer season. We were in the area to see family so the limited number of sites was OK for us, as we were not there to use their facilities. They are gated so at night, one has to use a key card to get access to their site. Staff is friendly and we will stay here again. Sites could use a little leveling but we made out OK, and they are suitable for class A homes. No tent camping is allowed. - leciel19
Dec 2013 - $49.00
This is not really a campground for transient rv's that want to stay a night, a week, or a couple of weeks. There are a lot of sites, maybe a hundred or more but they are set up on a permanent basis with underpinnings and porches attached. They only have a few sites for people like us but they are level. The girl in the office is extremely helpful and friendly and if you stay 6 nights, the 7th is free. It's about 9 miles from Morehead City and about 9 miles to Emerald Isle and an hour from New Bern and/or Jacksonville, NC. We have family here so we are always searching for a full service campground but there is obviously not a lot of demand in this area. We are staying 2 weeks; the first week, we were the ONLY motorhome in the whole permanent park(most of travel trailers or 5th wheels set up permanently) but on Christmas Eve 2 other motorhomes showed up. A 5th wheel was here in a temporary site when we got here but no occupants have been there. Have not used any of the facilities. We are right off Hwy 24 so there is a gate that is locked at night and accessible only by a code, which is good. There is a doggy area with plenty of dog poop bags but we have seen evidence that not everyone avails themselves of the bags nor do they scoop when their dog poops. There are not many residents here this time of year but the ones that are here have been very cordial. We would stay here again but if coming in warmer weather would need to plan ahead to make sure one of these very limited sites are available. - leciel19

Woodworking Safety: The Ultimate Guide
Woodworking is an inherently dangerous craft.
It's a sobering message, but here's the safety notice that we print in every issue of Fine Woodworking magazine:
"Using hand or power tools improperly or ignoring standard safety practices can lead to permanent injury or even death. Don't perform operations you see here (or elsewhere) until you're certain they are safe for you. If something about an operation doesn't feel right, find another way. We want you to enjoy the craft, so please keep safety foremost in your mind."
Below is a list of references to help you stay safe using a variety of tools or when woodworking in general.

In backyards, side plots and meticulously tended beds, local self-made horticulturists are showing off their green thumbs.
From the earliest daffodil blooms to the final burst of mums in the fall, they work hard to ensure their home gardens provide color and beauty to any yard.
Some are prim with carefully planned arrangements and tending. Others are more wild and free-flowing, an organized version of Indiana's meadows and forests.
All over Johnson County, gardeners have spent the spring crafting impeccable plots, coaxing the most radiant blooms from the soil and keeping their gardens healthy. Now, in the thick of summer, they can enjoy the aesthetic beauty of what they've done.
Some are even competing to prove it.
Restore Old Town Greenwood, a nonprofit civic organization working to maintain the city's central neighborhoods, is sponsoring a best yard contest. People are encouraged to show off their landscaping, green grass and unique garden plots, organizer John Jones said.
He's partnered with local homeowners, as well as with Gary Ward, owner of McCammon's Irish Market, to help promote those who take special care of their properties.
Ward has offered a 10 percent discount on flowers or other products to anyone signed up for the contest. He also has provided tips on how to improve specific spaces.
With the contest in full swing, and landscapers all over the county showing off their yards, the Daily Journal has spoken with some of Johnson County's most skilled gardeners.
Take a tour of their flowers, plants, shrubs and trees, and possibly get some ideas about starting a garden of your own.
379 W. Broadway St.,
Chuck and Carolyn Landon
Notable features
A variety of hostas and lilies, towering maple and tulip trees, native Indiana perennials.
Underneath towering maple and tulip trees, a whimsical English garden has popped up in Old Town Greenwood.
Stone pathways weave through big-leafed hostas. Flowers such as foxglove and lilies poke up toward the dappled sunlight.
Chuck and Carolyn Landon knew they wanted to create a special space in their yard. Working with the conditions their property presents, they've cultivated a soothing area where they can relax.
"We wanted it to look like a place in Brown County. And if you're sitting in our backyard, that's what it feels like," Carolyn Landon said. "You can hear the birds all around you, see the squirrels. We love it."
The Landons started working on their garden when they moved to Old Town Greenwood 25 years ago. At the time, the yard was almost entirely grass, with only a few plants growing along the house.
Slowly, they began to transform it.
Because their yard is shaded for most of the day, the Landons had to choose perennial species that could thrive without much sunlight. Their property is also one of the lowest in the neighborhood, meaning that water often pools in their yard.
"Ours is more natural. We can't do a lot of annuals because they can't handle the wet or the shade," Chuck Landon said.
Near the front corner of the property, the Landons had planted a butterfly garden. But the combination of shade and tall growth of some of the plants forced them to reconsider how to arrange it with more perennials.
Crabapple, magnolia and dogwood trees grow underneath the big hardwoods, adding midlevel shade to the garden.
Each has favorite aspects of the garden. Chuck Landon is partial to the different varieties of ferns, while Carolyn Landon likes the new lavender wisteria that they planted this year. Its pale purple blooms have just started to branch out along their front fence.
"But it'll overtake the whole thing," Carolyn Landon said.
They have one special plant, an elephant ear hosta, that grows massive flat leaves.
"I think it's the most beautiful plant," Chuck Landon said. "We put a lot of love into this yard."

Doris Roemer
Notable features
Backyard waterfall surrounded by Japanese maple, daylilies and salvia.
In the hot early summer sun, an oasis has emerged in the Center Grove area.
Doris Roemer has carved out a shady corner of her yard to create a soothing escape from the heat. A gurgling waterfall trickles in the back, among Japanese maple and tulip trees.
Through the stone garden, a stream passes daylilies and salvia.
The feature is the centerpiece of Roemer's landscaping work, which she puts hours into every day to keep tidy and in bloom.
"It's a pastime. It's always something I've done, even when I was younger. My parents always had a garden," she said. "You have to think when you plant when these things will bloom and what's going to look good all summer long."
The opportunity for her waterfall garden was created by a freak windstorm.
The back border of her yard, just above a small stream, had been planted with sycamore trees. Though they provided shade, they limited what she could do in terms of landscaping, Roemer said.
During a storm, straight-line winds knocked all of the trees over.
"So I put the waterfall up here to cover up the stumps," she said.
When Roemer moved into her home in the Center Grove area 30 years ago, the yard was in disarray.
Families that had lived there previously hadn't done much work with the gardens, and Roemer had to all but tear everything out and start over.
The only thing she kept were a series of bushes at the front of the house.
"I bonsai-ed them because they were so hard to dig up. Everything else had to go," she said. "It's a lot of work to keep it up, but I like doing it as long as I can."
688 Brook Drive, Greenwood
Ruth Hemeier
Notable features
Pink and white mandevillas, Gerber daisies and a variety of lilies
When it comes to caring for the yard and garden, Ruth Hemeier doesn't rely on anyone else for help.
The 85-year-old Greenwood resident mows the grass, trims along all of her garden beds and sweeps up any grass clippings. She plants all of the flowers and sculpts the bushes and trees into immaculate shapes.
Her husband, Earl Hemeier, offers to help. But Ruth Hemeier prefers to do the work herself.
"I won't let him do it," she said, laughing.
Gardening and yard work have been part of Hemeier's life since she was 7, when she started mowing the lawn to help her mother. When the blade of the hand-driven mower got stuck, she accidentally cut off the end of a toe.
But that didn't discourage her.
"It's good exercise, and it's a pleasure after you finish to look back and see the accomplishment of what you've done," Ruth Hemeier said.
It takes Ruth Hemeier about two hours to mow, trim and sweep up around the yard. If the weather is nice, she tries to mow every other day.
She hand-clips around every bush and garden bed.
Those gardens have also been meticulously cared for.
About 150 begonias encircle an island-type garden in her side yard. Pink and white mandevillas climb up small trellises and lamp posts.A purple group of clematis adds a tropical feel to her deck.
Gerber daisies form a border around her birdbath. Beautiful lilies in pink and fiery scarlet adorn the side of the house.
"I enjoy it. I enjoy mowing my yard, I enjoy tending to my flowers, and I have at every place I've lived at," Ruth Hemeier said.
Cardinal Point Farm, 3034 S. County Road 625W,
Anne and Steve Young
Notable features
Fruit trees and bushes, native Indiana plants, a rain garden and dozens of varieties of flowers
In most cases, gardeners spend hours planting, digging, weeding and watering to beautify their homes.
But Anne and Steve Young have another goal in mind — to educate.
On their property, Cardinal Point Farms, they have common plants such as peony, lily of the valley and daffodils.
They also have unusual species such as northern pecan trees, seaberrys and American bladderwart. Fruit trees and native bushes are planted in every available plot.
And each one is labeled.
"We want people to come and learn about plants they've never seen before," Anne Young said. "For a gardener, it's heaven because we have a lot of unusual things."
The Youngs started their garden 40 years ago, when they brought one of their rose plants with them from Kentucky when they moved to Indiana. They started Cardinal Point Farm to raise heritage livestock, vegetables and fruit.
Most of her plantings are perennials, such as 40 varieties of daylilies and seven types of clematis.
"It is low maintenance. We try to make sure that anything we plant doesn't need anything — not sprays, not pruning, not anything," Anne Young said.
Almost every plant has a tag, which tells the plant, the variety and when it was planted.
"That's what people usually want to know — if it was planted a certain time and how it's grown since then," Anne Young said.
Fruit trees line their small pond, as do native Indiana shrubs. A rain garden helps filter and hold rain running from their pasture to the pond.
An arch, made up entirely of edible plants such as honeyberries, horseradish and hardy kiwi, serves as a gateway into the backyard.
"It's basically what you want to see and how much you want to take away," Anne Young said. "We can talk to people about what they're looking for and then go find it."
525 Carefree Lane,
Linda Long
Notable features
Garden path through perennials and annuals, pergola and swing set among climbing vines
Like a kaleidoscope shifting shapes and colors, Linda Long's garden is designed to change every couple of weeks.
Among the daylilies, poppies and foxglove, she has packed in dozens of varieties of garden plants. Spring-blooming flowers are besides plants that flower in the summer or the autumn. It ensures that no two visits to her home will be the same.
"Every two weeks, if you come to see my garden, it looks different. There's something that's stopped blooming and something else is starting to bloom," she said. "I planted things for long enough, I can plan it to bloom at different times."
For the past 20 years, Long has been gardening and beautifying her yard.
"In February and March, it's so ugly out there. Everything is so dead. There's nothing out there. It's so brown," Long said. "Then, when you start getting into March, things start popping out of the ground. It's amazing the things that come out of the ground, and it gets fuller and fuller."
Many of the plants have simply spread on their own. She controls the outward reach of these plants but lets the garden itself grow in a natural way.
"I did not plant all of those plants. They just kind of did their own thing," Long said. "A lot of them, I've had for a long time, and they'll come up."
One of those surprise additions is her bee balm plant, a summer-blooming plant that looks like the tendrils of a Fourth of July fireworks blast.
Long's has deep purple and burgundy blooms. When it popped up this year, she had no idea that it was there.
"I must have planted it last year and just forgot about it. It's so tall, and I never remembered having one there. So it's fun when things like that happen," she said.
But she's conscious about keeping a hardy stock of annuals in her yard. Tucked within the gardens around her patio and pool are blooms that will stay out throughout the warmer months.
It ensures bright color when perennials such as black-eyed Susans and butterfly bushes have lost their flowers.
"It's a staple. If you have that, you know it will be there the whole summer," she said.

Because nothing screams romance like the prospect of intercourse on a Wisconsin nudist beach.
In 2012, Wisconsin authorities closed the public forest around the Madison-area Mazo nudie beach in hopes it'd curtail people from going in the woods and getting it on. But it didn't do the trick, and so earlier this year, they closed the beach on weekdays.
SEE ALSO: Wisconsin man arrested for humping discarded curbside couch
Unfortunately for authorities, that hasn't worked either. In other words, it appears there's no stopping Weird Wisconsin beach sex. All haters can do is hope to contain it.
From a Winona Daily News report:
The Department of Natural Resources issued 13 citations at the beach between June and early October this year. All were for sex, and 11 were issued on weekends. Those numbers are down from 2012's totals, but wardens said the problem is far more prevalent than the numbers suggest. All the citations were issued during just seven days of surveillance and some people seen having sex ran off before wardens could cite them.
Nathan Kroeplin, DNR law enforcement supervisor for the county encompassing Mazo Beach, told the Daily News, "There's definitely frustration." (He wasn't referring to sexual frustration, of course.)
"Some of the stuff we cited people for was fairly discreet," Kroeplin continued, "but there was other stuff out in the wide open and never once did I see somebody come up and say, 'stop that.'"
But don't fret, nudists of the upper Midwest. Even though authorities are pretty much out of ideas when it comes to stopping people from bumping uglies on and around the beach, Kroeplin told the Daily News officers aren't yet considering closing the beach entirely.
"That would be a pretty big step and I don't know if we're ready to go there yet," he said.
