It's Raining Flowers
By Happy Camper
from Denver, CO
I started putting them on the fence and could hardly believe this, but, I had a couple of bees fly over to them. I did put a couple of coats of clear coat on them, so they wouldn't fade out. The hooks on the back had to be bent to hook onto my fence, worked great. I'm very happy with them.
By Dan the man
from Elkhorn, WI
They're a little pricey for the quality. I brought 1 set for my fence. It looked lost so I brought 2 more that were back ordered. By the time I received the next two, about two weeks later the first set had faded compared to the new sets. They are cute.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Fades in Sunlight
By Flower Power
from Kansas City
I really like the product, but it faded in a month. Since they are in good shape and pretty, I am going to try and re-paint them with better, non-fading paint.

I saw where others had sprayed them with a clear coat so they wouldn't fade, and I put 3 to 4 coats on them.

Very charming
By SC sunkist
from Greenville, SC
These are the cutest outdoor metal Coneflower art that I have seen and they decorate a fence or porch or just about anything that you can think of to hang them. They do fade some in the sun but with a quick spray of some outdoor paint and they look good as new. I liked them so much that I bought another set just to hang on a fence in my back yard.
flowers do grow on trees
By blond gardener
from Detroit, MI
I hung the flowers on a very large tree by our road, used the butterflies I also purchased to decorate the space in front of the tree along with some spinners I also purchased last year, looks great

Silk Road Recap

One month out, commentators are still digesting the conviction of Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. The case raises questions about the government's investigations tactics, the lawyers' trial strategies, and the broader implications for privacy, the internet, and the public.

Summertime Creamed Corn
David Waltuck
Staffmeals from Chanterelle
Published by Workman
There's no point in making creamed corn unless you use fresh corn—frozen kernels are just not worth the effort. Standard creamed-corn recipes simply use cream or half-and-half, but mine uses a luxurious Bechamel Sauce that enhances the corn's fresh-picked sweetness without overwhelming any of its natural good taste. Fried chicken is our staff 's favorite main dish, but when I make it I always struggle to decide whether to serve it with creamed corn or Creamed Spinach. Each side has its champions.
Double-Cutting Corn:
With this technique, corn kernels are removed from the cob in two steps. Holding an ear of corn upright, use a sharp knife to slice down the ear, cutting the kernels in half. Do this around the entire ear. Then slice down the ear a second time, being careful not to cut into the cob, to remove the rest of the kernels and to scrape the milk from the cob. Each ear of corn will yield 1/3 to ½ cup of kernels.

Taste and Texturecreamy, rich, savory, sweet
Type of Dishvegetable
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons grated onion
- 2 small cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (6 to 8 ears; see Notes)
- 2 cups Béchamel Sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- A few gratings of nutmeg
- Pinch of dried thyme leaves
- Coarse (kosher) salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Heat the oil in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sweat, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the corn, béchamel, bay leaves, cayenne, nutmeg, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until everything is nice and creamy, about 30 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Add a squeeze or two of lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.

I'd have to have a pretty sharp palate to tell the difference between fresh-from-the-field corn and the really good corn that is flash-frozen at the time of harvest these days. I think the convenience of good frozen corn, either on the cob or a bag of kernels, is a fine substitute for fresh corn. The main drawback with frozen cot is a loss of "milk," which can be compensated by using a little cornstarch and water, or milk cream, or even a roux of flour and butter. Any of these substitutes will give you a nice thick syrup or thickened liquid that will work fine with frozen corn. With modern technology, frozen food doesn't have to be considered "low class" stuff like from the 50s. Unless your taste buds are made of gold, there won't be a noticeable difference in the final product.

Which Swansea players do you want for Liverpool?
I guess it's a gentleman's agreement rather than anything legally binding. Is it between the clubs or Swansea and Rogers?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It is a gentleman's agreement between Rogers and Swansea and even if it's not binding I think he will respect the agreement as he seems to be a gentleman. On the other hand he will most probably get Sigurdsson. The player hasn't yet signed for Swansea yet and I don't think he will refuse the opportunity to re-unite with his former boss and more so at a famous club - which can only be good for his international exposure.

Could turn out to be a real bargain...
The player isn't signed by Swansea so therefore is open to offers from any club... so he wouldn't be breaking his agreement with Swansea..

Skip to comments.Video shows bikini brawl in PCB Burger King
Posted on 03/24/2011 11:57:33 AM PDT by txlurker
Panama City Beach -- A cell phone camera captured the action in the Panama City Beach Burger King on Front Beach Road Saturday, as a crowd of tourists nearly rioted at the restaurant.
(Excerpt) Read more at wjhg.com ...
Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Herman Cain and Clarence Thomas are, unfortunately, the outliers in the universe of Eric Holder's "people".
See post #26 and consider the state of affairs in Africa, notably what's happened to South Africa since the "transformation".
Obama voters
Coming to a BK soon near you. Just wait until budget constraints limit handouts and these people have to go to work. They will not be happy campers.
My daughter works as a check out person in a meat store. She is appalled at the folks who stroll in, buy a cart full of stuff, and then pull the card out from between their breasts to pay for it.
She comes home so mad....
She was pretty conservative as a teenager, but she is about as conservative now as she will ever be. Good incentive to stay in school.
Nasty, sleazy You Tube trash. I hope they throw the book at this cheesy rabble.
That is someone's business. This trash should be made to pay.
Incidentally I do the same if it is a bunch rowdy whites or Hispanics and I am white. Sometimes ya gotta listen to your gut feelings.
My hubby said the same. He works hard for a meager existence..but he has to buy his own food.
BK bump
The county had to put bullet proof glass in the Compton courthouse. It was funny as the judges offices had windows and the Amish were shooting at them.
"My parents took me to Panama City Beach every summer and we would rent a little house ob the beach about a 1.4 mile from the Miracle strip. The biggest thing was to walk to the carnival and ride the rides, watch the muscle guys work out on the beach, play the arcade games then walk home. We would swim in the ocean most of the day and in the evenings we would play in the sand dunes. Such wonderful memories. Panama City Beach will never get its charm back. Drunkn, rowdy bad mannered high school and college kids can really ruin true beauty."
Did those in that video really look like drunken "college" kids? You're too kind
In my humble opinion this is only going to get worse and worse until we finally take steps to stop this kind of thing the old school way that worked for thousands of years.
Take this b*tch out behind the courthouse, strap her between two supports and give her 5 hard lashes. When they are done they post it on YouTube for everyone to see, then look her in the eyes and tell her deadfaced that the next time she is brought in and found guilty of a similar crime it will be 20 lashes.
It's the only thing I can think of that will work with some people, they don't seem to fear any other punishment in use anymore.
All in the way (or not) people are brought up by their parents. Too many in the minority community had little to no supervision or guidance (not that their parents could provide either even if both were around).
Too many of these morons have been "brought up" by the government, proof positive that government needs to be reduced in size and responsibility.
In Asian cultures, as in many others, family connection is very strong and teaches to put others, particularly elders, before oneself. Sometimes that connection can be too strong. My cousin has been called back to Shanghai from Chicago by her mother, recovering from hip sugery, despite the fact her brother lives only five minutes away. Her mom claims my cousin is a bad daughter yet gives her little credit for sending her thousands of dollars each year.
It would be interesting to see the education level of these people. Do blacks act this way all the time?
They probably wouldn't take her EBT card charge....
What you be talking about "landscape mode?" That some kind of racisist code yo? Some kinda code word? I ain't no kinda landscape now, that's messicans. Yall dissin' me yo. Ah get mah posse to go flash mob on yo azz, what I'm talkin' 'bout. Huuh.
I have one: animals.
Let's get an expert opinion.................
Based upon my personal experience, the so-called "trailer trash" (often phrased as "white trash") really aren't like the out-of-control blacks. Many of these folks are poor but proud, descendants of a Scots-Irish heritage (and pro-American). I've been out in the "hollers" of Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee but never felt the fear or experienced the brazen outrage that characterizes the urban yute culture.
In short, the tale told by "Deliverance" doesn't square with the reality I've seen. But the incident that spurred this thread is, sadly, far too typical and is the norm for that "culture".
Same exact way in MN.
I'll have to put this delicately,
but the scene reminded me of another type of brawl I saw somewhere...
there was lots of screaming, baring of teeth, chest pounding, and throwing things.
If there is such a crime as swimsuit abuse, this woman is facing two counts
I was sitting in Court, and there was a bleach blond mother with her about 15 year old daughter, who looked kind of emo and kind of goth.
The mother said to the girl, "Watch your mouth - you're really starting to piss me off!"
Oh those crazy Amish.
I'd be banned for writing my thoughts here. So just movin on...
LOLILM (Laughing out loud in landscape mode).
Did those in that video really look like drunken college kids? Youre too kind
LOL. You know, I watched a Panama City spring break thing on TV last night or night before. Anyway, I was so heartsick, it just spewed out when I started to comment and I went way off. When I realized it, I didn't care - sorry - I was in the moment;) And, you right, I would have been too kind.
In Detroit many blacks are fleeing for a pretty interesting reason, at least to me, but a majority refuse to admit it.
Most of it boils down to getting away from the younger generations that they have brought up themselves, wild animals like this girl here.
Imagine how bad it will be in a few more generations.
If you want to avoid these incidents go to McDonalds. I've noticed many years ago that certain groups prefer Burger King.
Are you describing a scene in a certain very influential science-fiction movie that came out in 1968?
That's evidenced in even the little things, the small acts of courtesy that constitute a civilized society.
As a case in point, the express checkout at a local grocery store has a 15 item limit to expedite customer flow. It's all too typical to see blacks and Mexicans load up with 50 or more items and abuse it. We white folks (sadly including me) just accept this misbehavior and tolerate it in seething silence. Our fear of confrontation inhibits us from even vocalizing our thoughts with a simple "excuse me?"
After all, to say anything in that circumstance would be construed as racist. Being pinned with the the scarlet letter of 'R' is now considered the worst of all disgraces.
Don't insult animals.
I went through Navy flight training in Pensacola 1968-1969, before moving to advanced training. Pensy is just down the road from Panama City. It was a quiet, well-behaved, beautiful area, if a bit poor. Something like this was unthinkable just 40 years ago. How the Dems/Libs have changed everything.
I was thinking more of a certain zoological enclosure,
but that scene in that movie was based on the very behavior that I was thinking of.
Plus a bunch of very tall condos, hotels, or whatever...forever ruined one of the most beautiful places in the US!
You are so right. At least I have memories of when the beach and water were pristine and summer cottages dotted the coast and we would bob up and down in the turquoise water on blown up innertubes all day long. My, My, I could go on and on! The one of the most beautiful places in the US, indeed!
You're not the only one.
"fear of confrontation" is more about an innate sense of civility.
The left has come to depend on this behavior on our part to accomplish their goals unopposed. But, as a I heard a former leftist say recently, they have no plan B for when we DO oppose them. So, do it!
Better account here.......
I wonder what the drive-by window looks like? I mean the drive-UP window...
One of the comments following that article made me laugh pretty hard. I don't know how long any of them will last. The comments, I mean.
I think that was back when many (but not all) of Denny's were called Sambo's or Jolly Tiger or No Place Like Sam's
Sounds like there have been plenty pulled already....
I suspect this was a intended as a diversion to allow a quick rifling of the till.

Dirrell: Floyd Mayweather Will Pick Cotto Apart Like Gatti
By Chris Robinson
Have a conversation with super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell and you can instantly spot the immense respect he has towards his friend and fellow prizefighter Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Originally from Flint, Michigan but a longtime staple of Las Vegas when it comes to his training camps, Dirrell has been spotted at the Mayweather Boxing Club this week. From sparring himself, mingling with the sea of spectators in the building, and checking out Mayweather's intense training as he readies for a May 5th challenge of Miguel Cotto, Dirrell seems right at home amidst the ambience.
Cotto, the reigning WBA junior middleweight champion, represents another interesting test for the undefeated Mayweather but Dirrell is quick to give his compatriot the edge.
"Exactly, I see it being another Arturo Gatti, god rest his soul," stated Dirrell of the late former champion. "Another Arturo Gatti-Floyd Mayweather fight."
Dirrell is referring to Mayweather's June 2005 dissection of the beloved Gatti inside of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City in June of 2005. It was a virtuoso performance from Mayweather, as he battered the all-action Gatti from head to toe over six one-sided and punishing rounds.
It was some of the best Mayweather to behold, as Floyd stayed in the pocket and picked Gatti off with piercing shots as opposed to boxing circles around him or trying to dictate the fight with his generalship.
A fan-favorite because of his blood and guts style, Gatti would suffer a bizarre death in Brazil four years later that has left lingering question marks to this day but he will forever be cherished by those in the sport because of the great battles he was involved in.
Cotto may be far more polished than a brawler like Gatti, but it makes no difference, says Dirrell.
"He's technically too fast, too skilled, too precise," Dirrell said of Mayweather. "Miguel can be hit. He gets bloodied, he's right there for you to hit, he's slow, and Floyd is just too precise. He's going to pick him apart."

Floyd looks how he looks depending on the opponents style. If you have no defense, yes, Mayweather will pick you apart. Cotto has no defense but he won't lose like Gatti, he'll lose like Cotto. He's gonna get Cotto'd.Comment by The MiZ on 03-30-2012

"Sanya - the end of the world" Top 5 Page for this destination Sanya by mke1963
Sanya Travel Guide: 101 reviews and 342 photos
The tourism authorities in Sanya haven't been to Hawaii. If they had, they wouldn't ram the mantra "it's just like Hawaii" down your throats constantly. It's not like Hawaii. It never has been, and it never will be.
Sanya is pleasant. It is warm. The people are friendly. There is a lot to see and do. But Hawaii? I don't think so.
Hyperbole and exaggeration are the name of the game in Sanya, China's southernmost city, and the authorities run the risk of alienating visitors with promising far more than can be realised. I like Sanya, I like the countryside there, and I want to go back, but not for any of the vapid reasons that the weedy, hapless marketing brochures suggest.
Sanya is developing fast and furiously, and with seemingly little concern or a master plan for how it will eventually turn out. This is a city of neon, plazas, sidewalks and rather sterile seafronts. Increasingly the little businesses - good old Mr Wang with his beachside barbecue grill and a refrigerator full of beer - are being squeezed out by featureless, characterless new buildings where the rent is too high (and so they remain empty).
Urban Sanya and the beachfront in every direction are filling with high-rise apartment blocks, huddled together mercilessly. The buyers are mainly the Shanghai and Beijing upper middle classes who believe that what is in the marketing brochure is what they will get when the builders move out. The succession of sorry, concrete festooned, decaying towers everywhere suggest they may be in for an unpleasant surprise.
Sanya is not quite such a new place as you might imagine. An earlier settlement here was called Yazhou, and its remains can be visited - in fact, it's in Yacheng about 40km east of Sanya. Along those 40km, Sanya is plugging every natural gap of fields and greenery with new temples, theme parks, hotels, karaoke bars, apartments, villas and other miscellaneous 'touristic facilities' or 'cultural' parks to satisfy the danwei tour groups that pile down here en masse from Friday night to Sunday evening. The upside is that Sanya is a happening place, with good entertainment nightly, plenty of action sports, loads for the kids, and dining focused on groups of 50. This is Benidorm-on-the-South-China-Sea: the beer is flowing, the drunks are wheeling, and sunburn the ubiquitous souvenir. Yet in among this frenzy of commercial exploitation is a city that is interesting, that feels real, and that can provide at least of week of lapping up the sun, swimming off sandy beaches and seeing a fascinating part of China.
The city is well linked by air to most big cities in China, and also to Hong Kong. When the Haikou train-ferry becomes fully operational, the city will also be more acessible to the hard-class tourists of Guangzhou and further afield. For now, its just you, a lot of Russians, big-money from Hong Kong, and the east coast nouveau riche flashing their fake brands and Hawaiian shirts. Follow that flag and catch a load of that touristic facility!

This is second time I stay at Green Country Inn. The room is small but very clean. The bed is comfortable and service is good. The price is reasonable.
clean, comfortable, relax, and good price.
friendly staff
no elevater - difficult for seniors
The beds were wonderful, much better than the Super 8 we stayed in the night before in NM.
Comfortable and clean rooms. The beds were very comfortable! The breakfast was nice every morning too. We only used the pool once but the big open area is very inviting and I wish I would have had more time to relax and enjoy.
Nothing, it was very nice for a small town hotel.
The proximity to the destination I was visiting.
Over priced for the amount of sound and the fact that the exterior wall was paper thin. There is a bar located on the property and there was fighting at all hours of the night. At 5:30am we heard every person exiting their room/starting their cars.
Price, cleanliness and comfort
Small bathroom
Shower tub very very slow draining. No hair conditioner or lotion. Only one coffee packet. Did not maintenance room only replaced towels.
It had bed bugs
Room had refrigerator and microwave nice tv and good size bed, allowed us to check in early
Dead bugs on the floor, air conditioning did not work well. No one came to clean the room. Sheets were horrible. We were all bit up not sure if it was bed bugs, fleas or something else. No one seemed to know the wifi password
Pillows, pool, and breakfast
Bed was a bit to firm, can hear the guest in the hall at all hours
The staff was very friendly in person. The hotel is pet friendly for a small $10 fee.
The room smelled musty, the air conditioner/heater wasn't working properly, very outdated (Sheets had holes, bedding cover had holes that had been obviously repaired), no bathtub (Shower only) and the breakfast was horrible. Wouldn't stay here again.
Clean room and friendly staff, but the mattress was a bit too hard. The breakfast area was clean and the breakfast items were surprisingly quite good.
The mattress was too hard. I had a hard time getting to sleep because of it.
Staff was friendly and helpful
Room was not maintained, felt dirty, came close to leaving and going down the street to the Holiday Inn, which by the way, had a lower star rating, which is why I chose the Days Inn instead. Would not stay here again in the future. Needs to be rated a 1 star hotel, if that.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

- Much appreciated the free Wifi service. - The common laundry area right near the elevator on the lobby level was not the optimal placement - too much noise and traffic for this area. - Hotel was very quiet for being full of kids so this was great. - This hotel was ok for just me as this was a business trip but I would not bring my family here as it just did not show well.

Myriophyllum spicatum
Myriophyllum spicatum (Spiked Water-milfoil or Eurasian water milfoil) is a species of Myriophyllum native to Europe, Asia, and north Africa. It is a submerged aquatic plant, and grows in still or slow-moving water.
Eurasian has slender stems up to 3 m long. The leaves are borne in whorls of four, bipinnate, with the numerous leaflets thread-like, 4-13 mm long. The flowers are produced in the leaf axils on a spike 5-15 cm long held vertically above the water surface, each flower inconspicuous, orange-red, 4-6 mm long. Eurasian water milfoil has 12- 21 pairs of leaflets while North American watermilfoil only has 5-9 pairs.
Myriophyllum spicatum as been recorded from several sites in Eglinton Canal, Co. Galway, Galway.[1]
Introduced areas
It has been introduced to North America between the 1950s and 1980s where it has become an invasive species in some areas. As of 2003 Eurasian watermilfoil was found in every state of the contiguous US save for Wyoming and Montana, with Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington state having the largest areas of infestation. It is commonly believed that people who brought the Eurasian Milfoil to North America in the 1950s were the first to introduce this invasive species.
In lakes or other aquatic areas where native aquatic plants are not well established, the Eurasian plant can quickly spread. It has been known to crowd out native plants and create dense mats that interfere with recreational activity. Eurasian watermilfoil can grow from broken off stems which increases the rate in which the plant can spread and grow. In some areas, the Eurasian Watermilfoil is an Aquatic Nuisance Species.
The aquatic moth Acentria ephemerella, the water veneer moth, feeds upon and damages this watermilfoil. It has been used as an agent of biological pest control against the plant in North America. The milfoil weevil (Euhrychiopsis lecontei) has also been used as biocontrol.
Since roughly 2000, hand-harvesting of invasive milfoils has shown much success as a management technique. Several organizations in the New England states have undertaken large scale, lake-wide hand-harvesting management programs with extremely successful results. Acknowledgment had to be made that it is impossible to completely eradicate the species once it is established. As a result, maintenance must be done once an infestation has been reduced to afford-ably controlled levels. Well trained divers with proper techniques have been able to effectively control and then maintain many lakes, especially in the Adirondack Park in Northern New York where chemicals, mechanical harvesters, and other disruptive and largely unsuccessful management techniques are banned. The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) of Paul Smiths College is one organization whose research has shown time and again the effectiveness of hand-harvesting techniques. Two past employees of the Institute formed a private company called Aquatic Invasive Management, LLC (AIM)) which has taken the productivity of past hand-harvesting techniques to new heights with private innovation. It is becoming apparent that hand-harvesting is minimally disruptive to the ecology, highly effective per dollar spent, economically beneficial in the form of good paying job creation and universally applicable.

"RE: what to do"
We have a few things in common. I started with digital after years of inactivity, and having used a A1 for decades. You have a distinct advantage over most who get their first DSLR, namely, knowing about the fundamentals of all photography; light, time and color which were learned from using manual focus film cameras. Most newcomers to DSLR modern cameras are trying to work out what is exposure is or what DOF is and why is it important. So you will progress very quickly, having that head start.But the D7000 is a complex camera, there are many user adjustable parameters, any one of them can cause unexpected results. There are some terms that will be unfamiliar but all the basics are just as you would expect from using the A1. There is only one disadvantage moving from film to the D7000, manual focus is much less accurate using the viewfinder because digital cameras do not have the microprism or split screen focusing screens. MF on good film cameras was a joy, fast and accurate. The D7000 however has an answer, the LiveView that allows the rear monitor to zoom in on details for manual focus. It is used most effectively on a tripod instead of handheld.What to do in the winter? Get gloves and scarf? Actually, indoor shooting will be more effective than you are used to with ASA 100 and 400 film. You have decent dynamic range at an equivalent ASA 6400!But as with film, low ISO is where the camera really shines. The manual is probably enough to get you up and running. Experiment with some of the features one at a time. The camera will become productive for you almost immediately but the second half of photography with digital is that you have to post process your files , something that most people left to developing labs in the color film days. Learning post processing can be a steep learning curve, particularly is you choose to use very comprehensive programs like Adobe PhotoShop CS6. It is as complex and powerful as you make it. Luckily there are probably 50 good books and video courses on learning to use it.If you run into some problem that is not explained in the manual, just as on the forum. There is a lot of accumulated knowledge about the D7000 on this forum.StanSt Petersburg Russia
