Hello, I come to you from Columbus Mississippi which is in northern MS. many people are asking me how I got into bees. Well truth be told, my wife and I eat so much honey I just woke up one day and said lets keep bees. So in janurary I ordered two hive and 2 sets of bees along with gear. I've got one hive built and the other is still in the box. My Bees will be here 11 May which is later than I want but I'm okay with it.
I have many hobbies and this just added to it. I have 3 cats, a great dane, a 75 gallon reef aqurium, and now bees. I am currently working as a T-6 flight simulator technician and am going to school full time working on my MBA. Life is busy but I am so excited about beekeeping and nervous at the same time. Now I just have to figure where to put my hives and wait till May!! Wish me luck!!

saw this on ebay ddnt have any moolah for it though
I would venture a guess that its a Don Post Deluxe going by the shortened visor area and overall look. Not 100% sure though.
I believe you're right about the DPD.
did seem to have a steep slope from the back to the front of the dome..
I wonder if Chris (TK409) knows that guy is using his images in his auction. I some how doubt it.
That one other pic near the bottom right is one of Steve the Swede's buckets on SW Helmets. Kinda sketchy posting all those pics mixed in with other folks stuff. Unless those helmets were made from that guys moulds, then its just not right.
I noticed the Bounty Hunter text is FP avitar...But the bucket looks like DP, except the steve swede pic....weird

It was nice to receive a mailing from the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD), announcing an informational meeting to discuss their new school bond proposal, scheduled for 7/31/12. Except that it arrived the day of the meeting, so that by the time I was reading it after getting home from work, the meeting was already half over.
Or perhaps they didn't really want too many of the public to attend, other than supporters who would have been notified via other mechanisms, such as announcements made to teachers and other SRVUSD employees. I'm probably being too cynical...
The information provided in the flyer on the purposes for the bond money was fairly vague, but the district web site has the following proposed/draft project list:
Web Link
Lots of big-ticket items. Many of the items seem quite necessary, such as classroom additions and a new school for the Dougherty Valley area (due to increased students, etc.), as well as some items related to seismic retrofitting, and fire and intrusion alarm systems. But there are also lots of "modernization" items.
No mention was made of additional solar projects, which are a clever way of "converting" bond money into operational savings. But perhaps these fall under some of the "standard modernization for entire campus" projects.

NHL playoffs: Bruins blow past Rangers 5-2 to grab 2-0 series advantage
After a nailbiter of a Game 1 that ended in overtime, Game 2 between the Bruins and Rangers on Sunday was significantly more one-sided. Boston broke the game open in the second period and coasted to a 5-2 victory, taking a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals in the process.
Here are some thoughts and observations from Game 2:
• Just when the Bruins' defense is bruised and battered, Boston is getting a fabulous infusion of talent from Torey Krug. The 22-year-old undrafted defenseman made a play that was similar to the one he made in Game 1, only better. Krug scored his first NHL goal in Game 1, pinching in on the play and stepping into a shot to beat Henrik Lundqvist. On Sunday, he picked up his second goal, this time taking a pass in virtually the same spot on the ice, but at his feet. Staying calm, Krug moved the puck between his skates to settle it onto his stick, then fired a shot past the block of Girardi that beat Lundqvist between the pads.
GAME 2: Recap | Boxscore | Highlights | Complete postseason schedule
• What a pleasant surprise the Bruins have gotten from their young defense of Krug, Matt Bartkowski, and Dougie Hamilton, who were pressed into service because of the absence of veterans Dennis Seidenberg, Wade Redden and Andrew Ference. "It's exciting for our guys to come in and play the way they have," coach Claude Julien said after the game. "It's always easier when you're home and you can put them in the right situations." The best part for Julien: he was able to lower captain Zdeno Chara's minutes from 38 in Game 1 (albeit with some overtime included) to 27:22 in the second game. When the veterans are all back and healthy, will he still play them or keep one or two of the youngsters in the lineup?
• Julien has encouraged his defensemen to join the rush and create plays, effectively breaking down the backchecking schemes of both the Maple Leafs and Rangers. Though the move is creating chances, it is also creating mistakes. Boston was listed with 16 turnovers in the game compared to just one for New York.
• Leave it to Rangers coach John Tortorella to break out the subtlety when talking about his players. Asked on an off-day why Carl Hagelin hasn't seen time on the team's struggling power play, which was 2-for-31 entering Game 2, Tortorella tossed the speedy forward under the proverbial bus. "Because he stinks on the power play," he said. "I don't know why. I wish I could play him on the power play. Every time I put him on, he stinks." Gee, coach, how do you really feel? Tortorella went on to amplify his remarks, often reusing the stink description: "I think he's too quick. He's a jitterbug and he screws it up. But the power play stinks. It's true. That's why he may get an opportunity." Hagelin ended up getting a whiff of the power play, being used once for 46 seconds, and 17:02 of total ice time during the balance of the game. And in the end, New York failed in five man-advantage chances on Sunday.
• The Rangers alternately experimented with splitting their top defense pair of Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh. The two have played together for most of the season, but Tortorella separated them for Game 1. They were back together intermittently on Sunday. New York also tried putting struggling forward Brad Richards at the point on the power play, as well as moving him back to the wing for some shifts. Richards is a seasoned vet, but he looks especially slow during the playoffs. With just one point in nine postseason games, it may be time to sit him.
[si_cvp_video id="video_16E0B678-6AC8-A7F7-F4A5-BED9687AC597"]
• Rangers captain Ryan Callahan scored a fantastic goal to tie the game 1-1, knocking a pass from Boston's Brad Marchand out of midair at New York's blueline and heading in the opposite direction. Along the left boards, Callahan outskated Hamilton and made a swift outside-in move on Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, beating him for the score.
• Callahan also made a good play at Marchand's expense to produce a goal, but their roles were reversed on the marker that gave Boston a 3-2 lead at 12:08 of the second period. With the teams skating 4-on-4, Marchand scooted up the right side of the ice and spun towards the boards, away from Callahan, who failed to switch quickly enough to pick up the trailing Johnny Boychuk once the play went to the net. As a result, Boychuk had ample time to step into a shot that beat Lundqvist as Patrice Bergeron screened him in front.
• Bruins veteran Jaromir Jagr has now gone 18 consecutive playoffs games without a goal, the longest span of his career.
• New York managed three two-on-one breaks in the early part of the second period. The third one finally produced a goal for struggling forward Rick Nash, who poked the puck around Chara at his own blueline, then outraced the Bruins' captain up the ice. Nash went from backhand to forehand and flipped the puck past Rask. It was his first playoff goal of the year and his second career postseason strike. His other tally came on April 23, 2009, when he was a Columbus Blue Jacket. • The Bruins went up 4-2 only 26 seconds into the third period on a goal that we've seen before. Remember when Bergeron sent a pass from the right corner to Marchand, who knocked it in from the goalmouth to win Game 1 in overtime? Hit the replay button for Boston's fourth goal on Sunday. This time, Marchand notched the conversion with Girardi trying to front him. It was a clever shift from Marchand to cut from in back of Girardi to a step in front of him while Girardi wasn't aware of it. The goal sent the Bruins' crowd into a serenade of "Lundqvist, Lundqvist." It was the first time in his career that the Rangers' ace goalie had surrendered four against the Bruins. Lundqvist did not allow five during any of his regular season starts. In fact, the last time a team thumped him for five was on March 9, 2011 when the Ducks did the dishonors. That was a run of 152 regular season and playoff games for Lundqvist.

First, we'll dispense with the unalterable statistics, without which no auto maker would be able to function: for the year 2013, according to the goodcarbadcar.net auto stats Web site, Toyota, the midsize sales leader, sold 408,484 Camrys (should this be spelled Camries?). Honda moved 366,678 Accords; and Nissan saw sales of 320,723 Altimas. For the same time period, VW sold 109,652 Passats.
The lesson, then, may be that if you want to be distinctive – stand out from the crowd a bit – buy a Passat. Unlike Camry and Accord, you won't see a Passat on every corner. (If you really want to be the only kid on your block with a different car, buy a Mitsubishi Galant – the big Japanese industrial conglomerate managed to sell only 1,441 Galants in the U.S. last year, placing it dead last on the goodcarbadcar 2013 midsize car sales list.
All this statistical blather aside, what do we have for a car here? Actually, we have a quite comfortable, well-appointed peppy four-door sedan that is distinctively German – this being another reason to buy it. There are car buyers out there who simply don't want Asian cars or American cars. They're wedded to the big three German auto makers – VW (which also makes Audi), Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Some of it is a status thing.
This year, VW replaced the five-cylinder engine in the Passat with a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-banger that puts out 170 horsepower and drives through either a six-speed automatic or a five-speed manual. (We had the automatic.) The EPA mileage figures for our SEL Premium are 24/34 mpg, city/highway and on the digital readout when we got into the car, which had a full tank of fuel, it told us our range was an astounding 530 miles to empty, which is a lot these days. Moreover, VW also makes available in the Passat the TDI turbodiesel, which gets 30/40 mpg (six-speed automatic) or 31/43 mpg (manual); and a 280-horsepower V6 (20/28 mpg.)
Passat prices start at $20,995 and our SEL Premium had a sticker price of $31,715. Of course, that included a wealth of extras and there were no extra-price options. The car came with sunroof, navigation, rear-view camera (it lagged a bit on its response and spent up to eight seconds showing me what was behind the car while it was moving forward in Drive, before switching off), leather, power seats, Bluetooth and a souped-up stereo. None of this is unusual and the price is right in the ballpark of its midsize competitors. (It is also within $100 of the average price Americans are now paying for a new car. After a house, a new car is usually the most expensive consumer item anyone buys, unless, of course, they are habitués of Tiffany or Cartier and regularly walk out with new baubles on their wrists.)
On the road, the Passat acquits itself well. There's enough power to get it safely by that lumbering pickup on a back road in New England, and at freeway speeds it is predictably quiet. You still know it's a four-cylinder engine, with that typical four-banger semi-roughness to it, but it's certainly not annoying and it's no worse than any of the other makers' versions of the same car. The seats are comfortable and there's enough room in the back for passengers to endure a 300-mile trip without complaining, unless they're six-feet, seven inches tall, in which case they should be in a long-wheelbase Benz or Lexus. But that's a wee more expensive than this Passat.
What I liked about the Passat was its, well, distinctive German-ness. Things are bit more crisp than they are in other countries' plain-Jane sedans. The numbers in the instrument panel seem more stark, even fresh. The feel of the leather – it's a bit more firm. This is not anything to which you point specifically, but more an overall impression.
The end story, then, is that VW, which, after all, was the firm that introduced American buyers to mass-market small cars back in the 1950s, still knows how to make them. The question, given the Passat's sluggish sales figures in the midsize segment, is whether VW still knows how to sell them.

Safety data can be found at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Reliability information can be seen in the dependability studies conducted by J.D. Power; and at Consumer Reports.

For trivia lovers: the sticker you see on the window of every new car for sale in the United States is known in the auto industry as the "Monroney." It is named for U.S. Senator Almer Stilwell (Mike) Monroney, the Oklahoma Democrat who sponsored the Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958, which required all new cars to have labels that detail the price of the car and its options.

Suzanne Whitton, Delaware Trail Elementary School teacher was named Indiana's 2012 Teacher of the Year at a surprise school assembly on September 28, 2012. Whitton teaches Visual Arts in grades K through 5 and is the school's Kindergarten Language Arts Intervention Teacher.
"Ms. Whitton's knowledge, skills and personality make it possible for her to successfully teach students of all ages," said Dr. Jim Snapp, Superintendent of Brownsburg Community School Corporation. "She enjoys a positive rapport with her students while maintaining exceptionally high standards. Furthermore, she incorporates her students' artwork into ongoing service learning projects, many of which have been funded as a result of her success in pursuing grant funding. She is an exemplary teacher, a caring and informed colleague and a wonderful person."
Whitton says her most important accomplishments have been those achieved by her students, from regional and national scholastic art and community service awards to college scholarships. She believes her students' successes are a reflection of her teaching philosophy, which includes nourishing students' artistic talent and showing them they can make a difference in the world.
Whitton also says educators from her past inspired her to learn, achieve, create and ultimately become a dedicated teacher herself. She hopes to follow in the footsteps of her mentors and inspire others to commit their lives to helping students achieve success and to spark their students' passion for fine arts.
Whitton received undergraduate degrees in Art Education and Fine Arts, as well as a Masters of Art Education, from the Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. In addition to her current position at Delaware Trail, Whitton has also taught Visual Arts to students in grades 6 to 8 at Brownsburg West Middle School, serving as the school's Related Arts and Visual Arts Department Head. She has held a variety of leadership positions focused on student activities and interests, service-learning, technology and mentoring new teachers.
An Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) committee comprised of past Teacher of the Year honorees, external community and education leaders and IDOE personnel selected Whitton as the Teacher of the Year after interviewing and visiting the classrooms of ten finalists. Whitton will be Indiana's nominee for the 2013 National Teacher of the Year honor. All 46 Indiana Teacher of the Year candidates will be recognized at a banquet in Indianapolis on October 12, 2012.
The Indiana Teacher of the Year Program is sponsored by the IDOE, and CSO Architects. Special thanks to our Teacher of the Year Clothing Sponsors, Cache and Enza's Boutique.

Web Extra: "56 Up"
On last week's show, we aired Brooke's interview with Michael Apted and Tony Walker, director and star of the "Up Series." Brooke had no shortage of questions for Michael and Tony: even though the edited interview ran a whopping 17 minutes, many interesting tidbits of conversation ended up on the cutting room floor. We've salvaged some of those outtakes, and present them here for your enjoyment.
If you're in a mood to read rather than listen, scroll down to the transcript.
Tony on his dreams of being a jockey
BG: When you saw yourself in these films at various stages of your life, did you recognize yourself?
TW: Absolutely I recognized myself. My dreams are evaporatin' there before me. ... My mum and dad are very fore — right in my focus all the time. When I became a jockey I was — my mum and dad were very proud of me. And um, even now I get quite emotional watching it, knowin' that my mom are not here anymore. And it was the proudest day of their lives for me to don my silks and walk out the way ... at Kempton Park to have my first race. Great days.
BG: And then, it didn't work out?
TW: No, but I had three years of trying to become a jockey, and it was the greatest — best days of my life. And even now I look back, y'know, I got me family now, and me grandchildren of course, but on a career basis, despite I never made the grade, it was great, great opportunity for me to be a part of the scene at that particular time. Great memories for me.
Tony on being asked for his autograph
BG: In the US, the "Up Series" is known, it's admired, but it's not a cultural icon the way I believe it is in the UK. Tony, you said you've been asked for your autograph on the street.
TW: I get more than that. … I get people now — they get in my taxi — I tell this story all the time, that they often say rather than me telling my wife who I had in the back of the cab today, cuz I had Johnny Depp last year and I had ... Robert Downy Jr., big Hollywood film stars, the punters of the cab riders, they tend to say "have a guess who picked me up in the taxi." And they reverse the role, and … you know, i'm quite excited about that. Even in Australia, I went to a cricket match, and I'm at the Sydney Cricket Grand, and people comin' up to me askin' for my autograph, which I don't mind the attention, … but to feel the tentacles of fame goes from here to Australia, America, and it goes all around, and I'm very approachable, and they come up to me and y'know, I start talking, and I — I'm quite happy with it.
Michael on whether he would volunteer his children as documentary subjects
BG: Michael, would you elect your kids for a project like this?
MA: Uh, It's a tough question. I mean, depends who was doing it, I think — what the auspices were, you know, how serious it was or if it was exploitative. I couldn't refuse it if I felt it was [a] responsible piece of work done by responsible people, but you know, with the existence of a lot of reality television, some of which is very good, some of it is very exploitative, I'd be very wary of that, because you know I know what goes on, and so I think it would be a case-by-case thing.
Michael on the underrepresentation of women in the "Up Series"
BG: I know you've expressed regrets that only four of the fourteen [original subjects] were girls and yet —
MA: Well, yeah.
BG: — a lot of your films have had women as central protagonists, y'know, "Coal Miner's Daughter" prominent among them.
MA: Yeah, "Nell," "Gorillas in the Mist," lots of them. I mean, this was one film in 1964, and this was a snapshot of England, and the idea that a woman would be prime minister about 15 years later was unthinkable. And of course the ethnic balance of the film is absurd too, but that's what England was like in 1964, and I couldn't change it. But I think I have compensated in my movie work about the woman thing, because I've always felt that the biggest social revolution I've lived through is the changing role of women in society, particularly in the United Kingdom, and to a great extent here. … [Y]ou know, I always find the women's stories the most interesting ones, and so that's been clear in my choice of material, but I — I never really recovered from the fact that I missed the story.
Michael on the "bogusness" of documentary and art
MA: So I'm not looking for drama in the cheesy sense of the word. I'm … looking for the way life changes, and the adjustments. You know, It's like a sort of great novel, a great Victorian novel: you know, the people move half an inch a year, and that becomes dramatic. It's the real drama of life, not bogus drama.
BG: You say there's nothing purer about documentary than there is about entertainment films, and in fact you say there's something bogus about everything, including art. Which seems rather cynical. [Laughs.]
MA: Oh, thank you very much. Well, perhaps I'd better explain it. Well how can I begin? There's nothing pure about documentary because every edit I make is a judgement call. I mean, I had a bad time with one of the subjects seven years ago, saying … that I edited the performance and chose what I wanted and I shaped it — well of course I did. Everybody who's ever made a film does that. Films don't magically, suddenly appear. You know of course it's ridiculous to say, as this film does, well here's someone's life in fifteen minutes. You can't do that. But this is my snapshot of their lives every seven years when I meet them, and again, it's my view of it, my vision of it, and it's not in any remote sense a complete picture of their lives. How could it be? But nonetheless I think there is a truthfulness in it, there is something really interesting and powerful about watching people grow up, watching people change, even if it doesn't represent anything like the full scale of their life. There's a lot goes on in their life that I don't know about, that I don't deal with and whatever. But I don't think that sort of diminishes the project. But that's what i mean by saying things are bogus. Art is about vision; art is about an artist. It isn't some objective thing, here's some great cloud of truth out there that ... you're just simply going to capture and transfer into some form. This is someone's view of the world, and all art is that.


text: Hey everyone! I haven't been on here much lately, but I figured I'd post up today since I crashed my Avalanche yesterday. I got distracted by a spider that was on my windshield and didn't pay attention for 1-2 seconds. In that time, the Jeep Grand Cherokee in front of me stopped. I didn't even see it coming. The Jeep had fairly minimal damage compared to my truck. Fortunately there were no major injuries and I only have a sprained ankle and a sore neck. Since I only have liability insurance and no collision coverage for my truck, I'll be taking the Avalanche to a repair shop on Monday to see how much it will cost to have the bit of frame damage that there is on the front repaired. If that will be a reasonable cost, I will pick up a parts truck once the frame is good, swap over everything else myself and then have the hood and fenders repainted to match. If the frame repair will be too expensive, then I guess I will have to try to make some money back by parting it out and then replace it. Anyways, here are the pictures:

Who here is from Mi?
Who would be interested in getting a group together once a month or so?
Maybe more often in the winter months to build equipment in prep for the upcoming season?

I'm from Michigan, not too far from you actually. I do most of my prep work at odd times when I'm not brewing or remodeling. What did you have in mind?
I'm in MI as well, and have family that lives in Greenville, so I'm often somewhere pretty near you. My schedule is such that I am regularly called out of state for work and have little notice. I suspect my attendance would be spotty, but i am interested.
I have a small "shop" that I build most of my woodenware in the winter months. Maybe get together on a Sat. when the snow is knee deep. Build, prime, paint, whatever.
I have a pretty decent sized shop at my place also (it was set up to work on tractors originally). I build everything myself, but I don't paint, I wax dip.
I've still got some nucs to build and dip yet but there's nothing pressing. I'm waiting till it warms up to do dipping, since it takes a lot more propane when it's cold outside. I do need to make a bunch more frames yet also I guess.
I wouldn't mind getting together sometime either even if it's just to shoot the breeze and swap ideas. If anyone wants to PM me I can send along my email address and we can see what works out. I've got Spring break coming up soon (teacher) and plan on spending most of it in the shop and getting the garden ready for Spring.

Sounds like we have a good start so far.
everyone is to far away from me. curious how many colonies do you guys have?
Mr C What do you brew?
I get over your way a few tiems every year. I do all of my salmon fishing out of Manistee. I'm usually over that way 4 or 5 times a year. he northern part of West michigan is a pretty area!
I'm starting with two Langs and about a dozen swarm traps spread out over a couple hundred miles. We'll see where this ends up
Last edited by KPeacock; 03-13-2013 at 06:15 AM. Reason: forgot to answer the dang question :)
I found this on craigs list
You really dont have to spread your traps out that far. I hang 15 to 20 all within 10 miles of my farm. My catch success is very high. 9 out of 10 will take a swarm
I have half a dozen that were still going last week. I lost a couple late fall to mites and did some combines with swarms I catpured here and there last year. I'm headed to Iowa in June to pick up 6 Russian colonies to try them out this year. Hopefully I'll get a few more swarm and cutout calls this year again to beef up numbers. I will probably stick with the 10-20 range for now, too many irons in the fire to do more currently.
The wife and I brew anything tasty, but just beer currently. We've been doing partial mash, but have the equipment for all grain, which we will probably start doing over Spring break when it warms up. So far we've done, amber, honey ale, stout, dunkelweizen, a founders dirty ba*&^%d clone, a roggenbier (german rye), and a belgian blonde. Only the first 3 ready so far, but I've got supplies for oatmeal stout and another honey ale as soon as I can free up another carboy (or buy another one, we're a little obsessed right now and sound like alcoholics). We prefer diversity over quantity, but we're going to have to start kegging soon, washing that many bottles is getting ridiculous.
I've got a buddy up in Ludington, it is a hike though, a solid hour/hour and a quarter from my place.
I haven't had any luck with my traps thus far, I put out 10 or so last year and nada. Not that I'm not trying again though =).
I went into winter with 70 colonies. I have lost 3 that I could get to. I have 2 yards with 20 each that I have not checked this year yet. Snow has been to deep and they are to far off the road. I try to add a new yard each year with 20 colonies.
I brew all grain ales. We have a brew club and this past weekend we refilled our bourbon barrel with Scottish Strong. Every couple of months we have a competition. The winner gets a revolving trophy. The last style was a brown ale and I took 1st with a nut brown. Next one is going to be a Alt.
I too am from MI - Paw Paw to be exact. I'm new to this with only one hive, but as of last week it's still going strong. It needs to stop snowing!
Yeah, if you were getting a big group together and the timing worked out, I could probably swing out that way. I wouldn't want to do anything too regularly, because it's a bit of a haul, but every now and then could be fun. I'm still pretty new to this wonderful mess, so seeing how other folks do things would be nice. Shoot me a message if you get something together.
I will try to pick a date, time and location for all to meet. I'm thinking in a month or so. This should give people some time to schedule it in perhaps.
I'm from the Dorr area and a member of the Holland Bee Club, I would be interested in some type of get together. We are in our third year of beekeeping and currently have 4 hives which are still going well, I'll be heading to Georgia next month to pick up some small cell bees to try. With the 3 small cells and some splits & swarms we are looking to get into the 15-20 hive range. I've been building all my equipment except frames, only doing the assembly on those.
Mr. C- I'm very interested in the wax dipping process and would like to set up to give that a try, I'd be interested in learning from your set-up. Also a few guys from the Holland club are interested in getting some Russian genetics, I'll shoot you a PM. Thanks.
It's like many things a work in progress still, but I certainly don't mind sharing what I can. It's always funny how small the world is. I drive over to Dorr every year to pick up irrigation supplies from Shields. Once I figure out when I'm dipping again I'll let people know, otherwise it's just a big black tank sitting in my yard. Then you can see how much fun it is to scrape off little black chunks if you're silly enough to paint the inside of the tank like someone I know. A couple more runthroughs and I'll have that junk cleaned out hopefully.

Acquitted: A Kenyan journalist struggles to report freely
A court in Kisumu, western Kenya, recently acquitted journalist Bernard Okebe, at left, of graft charges after a two and a half year case against him. While the case is finally over, Okebe is still dealing with the fallout of being accused of blackmail.
In December 2008, the police chief of Nyamira, a town in western Kenya, accused Okebe of bribing him. Police Chief Lawrence Njoroge alleged that Okebe had demanded 15,000 Kenyan shillings (US$175) to stop him from publishing a damaging article against him.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
My guess is that only the OP has gotten it to work reliably.
I'd suggest you look into peristaltic pumps. The "water pump dosing" might work as well, a bit cheaper, with the added benefit of agitation of the solution.
Check out my signature link for various autodosing methods.
Hello, I am looking for a good 2 part dosing system that's cheap and I don't mind if it's a relatively simple DIY project. I found this using Google. Does anyone know if they have gotten this fairly well ironed out or is there still significant issues with this design?
I'm having to dose a fairly significant amount of calcium. Approximately 2 - 3 cups per day of calcium chloride to keep it at 400. Alk remains stable with around 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda per day. If I ever go out of town I'll need to auto dose alk also in a dissolved solution. That's in addition to 1.5 gallons per day of top off kalkwater!
In a 125g tank with 30 gallon sump.
I read most of the posts and some say it works, some say it doesn't. I'm not looking for overly accurate, just something that would keep up with my alk and ca depletion on a weekly basis.
|hmm, still cheacking doses... still averaging 10 ml on a supposed 15ml dose. Its going down!
|I'm saying that it works fine while testing by blowing through the tube, but when you hook it up to an airpump for a minute then additional unwanted liquid enters the coil from the fill hole making it difficult to get an accurate dose.
I really dont know WHAT YOU JUST SAID...
But it worked with a very small hole in the T. I noticed that this hole was the most important, as it really effected how fast it doses and how fast or slow it fills. Still working on the tubing refill cause it filler 15ml twice in an hour, then it filled 7.5ml once, then 12ish the third time. As long as it at least doses 11 average over a week of tri-weekly dosing, hmm I dont care as long as it doses something. Welcome to my world!
IF ITS GONNA GROW, ITS GONNA GROW! IDK anymore
But Id guss this really doesnt matter since im changing water weekly!
I built one too. I didn't understand the issues by just reading..
I haven't been able to avoid a venturi effect on the 'fill hole' at the bottom of the coil. This becomes a problem when you're using a timer that has a minimum of a 1 - 15 minute cycle. Unfortunately I think the venturi is more 'random' that reproducible, and I'm not sure if it can be calibrated with the venturi issue.. I tried adding valves/etc on the fill hole to adjust the venturi, and to keep it away from the coil, but it didn't help..
Instead, I dug out a bunch of the $1 automatic plant watering machines "Green Genius" that I bought at big lots on clearance. They're battery powered, but they have a dial to specify frequency of dosing (i'm using 2 days) and quantity in ml...
Prior to that I did some testing on water pumps, and dug out and calibrated a bunch of 4$ Cascade filters they had on clearance at Petsmart. Used epoxy putty to attach 1/8" hose to the outlet. Consistently within about 5% accuracy over the course of a minute..
It works great! Here are my photos...
All it took was a little patience, 2 liters of spilled cool-aid, a broken t, and 65" of my tubing... Iv got a digi timer so Im gonna try it
The one negative I saw with the Eheim liquid doser is the amounts it can handle.
Keep in mind this is a hobby... time spent tinkering with things is something that I don't consider lost, and don't want to do without. Of course, if you apply your hourly wage to the time playing with tubing, you might be better off just to order the Liquidoser.
Another dealbreaker (for me) is that it has to sit on the tank rim, unless you have a sump. I like to cover my tanks as completely as possible, and use a slim canopy that just so fits some T5 bulbs with reflectors. Don't wanna have anything stick out.
|The one negative I saw with the Eheim liquid doser is the amounts it can handle. You can do a max of 1ml, 8 times a day (providing I am reading the literature right). In my case, that is not enough to handle my trace supplementation. You should be able to mix all your macros at a concentration that would work with but it would not be enough for me for traces.
Looks like great idea.
All in all after the time spent shopping and fabricating, why not just get one of these?
Im not being critical; I want to set up something like this and am looking at the pros and cons of each option.
Walmart has Brinks brand digital timers for $8.73. They only have one on-off setting but they work in minute intervals so its perfect. The price is right also. I've done a lot of playing with the concept for the original topic to this thread, as well as magic's AirDoser and Wasserpest's powerhead method.
I'll start a new thread of my own for further updates.
I think this would work perfectly fine if a minute timer can be found cheaply. Because large coils of tubing do not seem to work well it seems adequate to dose only in the 5-10ml range for short periods. I may be able to adjust that by playing around with large "chambers" in the solution bottle. Also, a cheap timer capable of minute intervals would make magicmagani's doser a good solution for toping off a little also. I'll hit Walmart or Target tomorrow and see if there is anything under $10. I would need two doser setups so it seems that going the "cheap" route is only worth it to me if I can do the whole thing for under $30 bucks and with some degree of reliability. Otherwise, if I cannot find suitable timers and need the $25 intermatics, I might as well spend a little more and get the accuracy of peristaltic pumps that will dose the right amount in 30 minutes and use cheapy timers.
Thanks for the help so far.
You could also go with Wasserpests water pump dosing which doses consistently, and you can play with the concentration of the solution to dose the right ppm's. All you need is a little water pump, they can be had for $10-15, or maybe you have a spare one sitting in your stand anyway.
Let us know if you figure out a way to get this cheap liquidoser to work... it has a lot of potential. One of these days I will start poking holes into airtubing again.
I dose Flourish and Fe gluconate at 1ml per gallon per week. Yup, its a lot but the growth is good and I have no fish or inverts issues. So, since it has to happen daily, 60ml total for 7 days is 8.6ml daily for micros. Macros I could mix to get the dose right but I was hoping for a fool proof, easy to use and accurate- oh and really cheap- method of autodosing.
My current test setup in the laundry room seems to give about 47ml per 1/2hour cycle. This may change a little if it is moved to the tank if hose length or head heights change. This also uses 18" of airline tubing in the bottom of my container for the initial dose, which is about 7ml if the tubing is full. I've tried all manner of hole sizes and check valve configurations, all yield similar situations, an eventual venturi that spits. I may try modifying the timer I have so that the actuator is narrower, thereby letting the power be on for a shorter period of time. I am sure I could get it down to only 5-10 minutes of run time this way.
The next option is something like magicmagnani's air doser but I don't like the variation in dose size over time, nor have I been able to control it to dose less than several hundred ml in 1 minute.
Thanks for the tip on cheap timers. I remember seeing some digital ones at Walmart but did not look closely at the time. Now I just need an excuse to go back there.
Look for deals on digital timers, Target and WM have them for less than $10, sometimes quite a bit less. I picked up a few that were discontinued models in WM for less than $5, once in a while RiteAid (of all places) has some for free or almost free after rebate.
10cc not enough for you? Wow. My 100gal is (under?)dosed with 4cc daily.
Congrats and have fun on your honeymoon!

The 2011-2012 Elite Clubs National League season has begun and teams from the Colorado Rush and Virginia Rush are again looking to be crowned as ECNL Champions.
The new season will feature even more regional competition as the league had now split into eight conferences divided up across the country. U14-U18 teams will compete in the ECNL this season, the most age groups to play in the three years of the ECNL.
Virginia Rush will compete in the Southeast conference and take on Birmingham United, GSA, Concorde Fire, Atlanta Fire, CESA Premier, Charlotte SA and CASL in league play. Virginia Rush finished the 2010-2011 season ranked as the 49th club (of 52) in the National Standings. The U17 (now U18) Nike girls finished in 8th place in the ECNL 'B' Flight and will look for another strong showing this season. VA Rush takes to the fields this upcoming weekend when they travel to Birmingham United and GSA.
Colorado Rush will play their league games against Sereno, SC Del Sol, Las Vegas Heat FC, Las Vegas Premier, Real Colorado, Colorado Storm and Utah Avalanche. Colorado Rush finished as the 13th team in the final 52 team standings last season led by a 10th place finish by the then U16 Nike. The 2011-2012 campaign started two weekends ago for Colorado Rush as the U14-U18 teams took on Las Vegas Premier and Heat FC and went a combined 8-1-1 (W, L, T). The U15's – 18's will travel to Phoenix this weekend for conference games against Sereno and SC Del Sol.
Good luck to all ECNL participants this weekend and throughout the season.

Accommodation summary
|SOY Street, Mong Kok, 香港
The modern apartment features 2 double bedrooms and a living room with a sofa bed. There is a cosy kitchenette with a hotplate, fridge, and rice cooker. The tiled bathroom contains a shower and a washing machine.
Mong Kok MTR (rapid transit) Station is just 600 metres away. From there, reach Disneyland within 30 minutes' journey. Victoria Harbour is just a 20-minute journey by bus.
Experience the hustle of Hong Kong in among the huge variety of shopping and dining options in Mong Kok. Conveniently, the A21 Cityflyer Airport Bus also services the area.
|Check-in before
The flat is very well situated, close to MTR, shops and restaurants. However, the kitchen was dirty and falling to pieces and the bathroom was in need of a thorough clean. It was the worst equipped flat we have rented with no cups, only 3 mismatched glasses, no cutlery and only a few bowls. The washing machine , however, was the best we have encountered in our travels.
One of the mattresses was rock hard and we could only sleep on it after piling on all the available extra bedding we could find. It is our opinion that this apartment is not suitable to rent to European travellers.
The location of the apartment is excellent, very convenient. Restaurants, shops, market stalls, MRT, buses all nearby. Right on Ladies Market, could be a little noisy at night due to night stalls and singing below but that didn't bother us, the singing stops at 10pm. One negative was, the apartment could be kept a little cleaner.
I stayed in the appartement in Soy street for a week with my wife and 4 daughters. The appartment was good and King Lee is a helpful person. The Wifi was good. We missed only plates, forks, spoons and knives, but we are Europeans.
Location is near to Ladies Street and lots of food nearby. If you want cheapest food go for take away chicken rice/pork rice or any mixture for HK $26 and eat at d apartment, its one block away corner shop from Pizza Hut (which is just next to entrance of this apartment. Two blocks from Mongkok station to others attractions, bus to n from airport is easy as breeze, stop at Sino Center. Go opposite road back airport. Souvenirs easily available. Cost saving for 4 people as compared to hotel. All basis stuff is there n air con is very cold. Night time filled wt songs from street but dies off before midnight. We covered top ten attractions of HK except Ocean Park due to raining n Tsim ShanTsui Promenade.
Good Points - King was a very good host & helpful. Apartment spacious and in good central location in Mongkok.
Bad Points - Kitchen in need of refurbishment (personally, would not use it). No curtains in the lounge. No towels, even though advertised as provided. Had to go out and buy some.
Mr. King is a very nice man and very helpfull. The apartment that me and my family stayed is indeed a very comfortable place and it is near to everything... cinema, restaurant, ladies market, langham place and many many more... MTR is very near by......If you stay with King, you will never regret it......
Apartment very comfortable and close to shopping . He is very friendly
เป็นอพาร์ทเม้นท์ ที่น่าพักค่ะ ใกล้แหล่งช้อปปิ้ง และมีร้านอาหารให้เลือกหลายอย่าง ห้องพักมีบริเวณให้ได้นั่งเล่นและเก็บของได้ และราคาไม่แพงจนเกินไป เหมาะสำหรับไปกันหลายคน เป็นอีกทางเลือกสำหรับคนที่ไม่อยากพักพัก hostel
King is a really great host as we were late at first and couldn't find the apartment but he was patient and gave us clear directions and arranged to meet us elsewhere so locating him was really easy. The apartment was very clean and tidy when we entered which gives a welcoming feeling and with this apartment being in the centre of MK getting to know your way around is very easy. There was one morning where the whole building water was turned off but this only lasted around 10 minutes so everything was fine. Places to eat and shop as soon as you go downstairs and ATM machines a short walk away definitely recommend to friends and family.
King is a great host, we had a problem with a washing machine, he stayed all day waiting for 3 mechanics to come to fix it. He make sure we had toothbrushes, shower gels, and other supplies. He keeps the place clean, My parents were very excited as they could cook. Its a strategic area, one block from Ladies Market, its near Langham Place (shopping mall) and a lots of restaurants.

Ah, the wedding gown.
One of the most expensive, beautiful, and criticized pieces of finery we'll every wear. At best, its life is short and worn in full for at most 6-8 hours; in that time it will be cried on, admired, danced in, hugged, and otherwise well loved. The train will drag on the floor for the pre-ceremony events and through to the time when the new husband and wife are introduced to the reception; and the bride will quickly realize the her precious gown is being stepped on, getting dirty, and making it hard for her to get around.
This is where the bustle comes in! The gown will spend more of its short life being bustled up, so it's important that the bustle is not only functional but appropriate for the style and fabric of the gown itself. The bustle is an opportunity for a bride to make another fashion statement, and can either enhance the look of the gown, completely change it, or just look like a pile of fabric getting the train off the floor.
When considering a bustle, start by deciding your alterations budget. Some bustles can be as inexpensive as $20.00, others may run $200 or more. The more intricate a bustle is, the more it will cost. Other cost factors include the length of the train, and the fabric being used. A cathedral train will prove more difficult to bustle securly, as will delicate fabrics such as lace or silk organza that can tear easily.
Create an inspiration board with several bustles that catch your eye, and make sure to show it to your seamstress at your first gown fitting. She will use pins to pull the train up for you as it would look with a particular bustle. Don't be afraid to ask for changes or to try something that you don't think you will like!
There are several types of bustles.
(Photo credits:www.theknot.com, google images, other. Please PM me if one is yours.)
One-Point Overbustle
The most simple and inexpensive is the overbustle, usually secured by one point at the base of the bodice. This bustle is very full, and works well for brides on a budget with gowns created from lighter fabrics. The one-point overbustle is notorious for breaking during the reception, so it is not recommended for long trains or gowns made of heavy satin.
Three Point Over-Bustle
A three point overbustle is more secure than the one-point version, and also helps to spread the train so it stays open. This is a great option for gowns with heavier fabric, and also for the famous Alfred Angelo Dream in Color line.
The Ballroom Bustle
The ballroom bustle is a statement for girls who don't like the look of traditional bustles; if they are done well they make the gown look like there was no train at all. They are a great option for ball gowns with longer trains, and tend to be very secure. A ballroom bustle is an overbustle created by several points across the bottom of the bodice which spread the train out and create the look of a normal skirt.
One-Point Under Bustle
Under bustles work by ribbon ties placed inside the dress. The ties are completely hidden and tend to be more secure than over bustles.
The French Bustle
Like the under-bustle, the french bustle is created by a series of ribbons inside the gown. The train is lifted up and bridesmaids tie together ribbons that are either numbered or color coded to create this elegant, secure look. This is a great bustle for full gowns and gowns made with heavy or delicate fabrics. They can be placed low or high and have anywhere from 2 - 25 points in them.

The Double and Triple French Bustle
Also known as 'whipped cream bustles', the double or triple french bustle is achieved much like the single french by a series of ties under the skirt.
(PW Bride GoingtobeGoff)
The Austrian Bustle
The Austrian bustle is gaining in popularity. It is a secure bustle created by the use of a loop and pull system similiar to that of a window shade. A string is pulled and it bunches the train up.
The Sash Gown Bustle
& other bustles for gowns with unique trains.
Creating further problems for brides is a gown with a large sash or other embellishments. Some brides choose to remove the sash, others tie it up into a loopy bow.
(PW Bride MountainBride)
There are so many other fun and unique ways to bustle your gown. Ask your seamstress about combining bustle types such as a french and an overbustle, or doing a multi point overbustle with lots of points on it. Remember that your gown will be bustled for a longer period of time than un-bustled, so make sure that it is not only a great fashion statement, but secure and comfortable to move in!
Happy Planning!

"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
DeAngelo Hall was about to get Debo-ed by Dez Bryant on Thanksgiving.
Spin that Webb young Davis
Harooni and him are buds. Wonder if he could get any insight.
Im not a Hall defender though. Every game he's literally getting into it with players or refs. I mean it looks really bad sometimes but somehow he never gets a personal foul penalty. Im always screaming for him to shutup or stop fighting for they throw a flag. I can just imagine this one after all the talk. Im betting anyhing he will get into a fight with one of your receievers. Not an ejection type fight but just alot of jawing & pushing on multiple plays
He's stupid. He's trying to say they blew the coverage without saying that they blew the coverage.What, just because a mistake was made Eli shouldn't take advantage of it?
DeAngelo needs to shut up and play. He was not involved with the Cruz touchdown. That was Josh Wilson and Madieu Williams who got torched.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated January 13th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Why doesn't love and compassion prevail in Twitter and Facebook? Let us our brothers and sisters launch such a thing. There is something weird about this. People should teach love to each other, they should teach endearment to each other, they should teach each other friendship, teach each other beauty and benevolence, right? Hatred is incredibly widespread. I mean, aren't there anyone who is loved? Let them send terms of love to each other, let them send terms of endearment, of friendship to each other. It doesn't matter if they are from different parties, from different thoughts. We are the sons of this country, let everyone love each other, let everyone approach each other friendly and brotherly. I for instance do love people from CHP (Republican Public Party), I do love people from MHP (Nationalist Movement Party), I do love the people from BBP (Great Unity Party), I do love the people from AKP (Justice and Development Party) I love the people from Felicity Party. They all are radiant people, they are the people of our country. I love people holding other types of ideas as well. Furthermore let us say the man is a communist; he is a communist but if he doesn't persecute anyone, I feel compassion for that person as well. Ahmet Altan, Mehmet Altan they are leftist people, yet I do respect them, they are people I value and hold in esteem insha'Allah. I would never use hateful words for them and I never did. The most I would do is to criticize. That hateful style is really horrible. One is from another party, let us say, and he says incredible things about the leader of the other party, he uses such incredible insults. Or for instance one is from a certain religious community, from another group and he makes incredible insults. Such a hateful structure would ruin a person, may Allah forbid. That is very wrong. It would be very wrong to have such a structuring especially among our people. Let our brothers and sisters enjoy a structuring that takes fervent love, endearment, friendship as a basis and let them use their will power. They should respond every bad word with a beautiful reply; let them respond nicely to all bad words. That is also mentioned in the verses. In the verse Allah tells us to; [I seek refuge with Allah from the satan] "Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend." But of course if there is no change in one's manners despite of all these warnings, if that person continues to use such an intense language, then the other side would have to defend himself with law and justice system.

High-Rise Showcases How to Be Both 'Green' and Safe
A local installing systems contractor provides a 1,200-device fire/life-safety system for a 32-story complex in downtown New Haven, Conn., the state's first LEED Platinum residential project. Integrating the fire alarm system with building automation results in a digital audio network for transmitting…
Ashley Willis May 19, 2011
As construction began on 360 State Street in New Haven, Conn., it was clear from the outset this would not be a run-of-the-mill apartment building. Developed by Fairfield, Conn.-based Becker and Becker, the 32-story, 700,000-square-foot structure comprises 500 upscale units and is the second-tallest edifice in the city.
Located three blocks away from Yale University, the $180 million complex is noted as the state's first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum residential project. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) also recognized the structure, which opened for business in July 2010, for its sustainable building and construction designs. Among its environmentally friendly features, the complex utilizes a 400-kilowatt fuel cell to provide renewable power, heat and hot water to meet the majority of the residents' needs.
Just as the developers wished to erect a state-of-the-art "green" property, equal emphasis was given to safeguarding the lives of its residents and staff.
"We have about 300 people living here full time," says 360 State Street General Manager Lauren Lenox. "With such a large community, we need multiple layers of a fire/life-safety system."
Becker and Becker relied on Cosentini Associates, an engineering consulting company, to help with construction on the project. In turn, Cosentini called its go-to systems integrator, locally based Firetech Engineered Systems, to design and install a fire/life-safety solution for the structure.
By planning and working closely with building contractors and local authorities, Firetech provided a 1,200-device fire/life-safety system to the new development.
Planning Ahead Eases Installation
Since 1989, Firetech has provided solutions for commercial, government and military clients throughout the state of Connecticut. Roughly 70 percent of Firetech's business comes from recurring services, including fire alarm inspection, testing, systems maintenance, and monitoring provided by its own central station.
"We work directly with electrical contractors [ECs]," says Firetech Vice President of Engineering Adam Querker. "We often design and engineer the system and install the main components. Then we guide the ECs through the installation process."
Although the 360 State Street project started in early 2009, Querker and his team did not arrive on site to install the solution until early 2010. That's not to suggest Firetech rested on its laurels until it was time to put the system in place. On the contrary, the integrator spent months designing the solution.
The Firetech team used the engineers' drawings in the design and selection of the system to be installed in the multiuse building.
"They came up with a conceptual design of where they wanted the devices," Querker says. "The ECs and building contractors were constantly modifying the building and taking things out. The initial drawing of putting it together took a couple of months because we had to apply the system to the environment. We developed our drawings based on the system we chose and how we wanted it wired."
Realizing that installed devices would require easy removal for troubleshooting, Firetech decided to use System Sensor products for the project.
"The System Sensor speaker strobes feature a back plate," explains Querker. "When you're troubleshooting, it's a matter of just removing one screw, popping off the back plate and test things out. In the past, we've used other devices that have given us a headache."
In all, the integrator installed 840 speakers and speaker strobes, 370 intelligent smoke detectors, 250 monitor modules, 80 relays and 15 duct smoke detectors.
A Large, Multifaceted Job
Firetech also had to bridge the gaps between the building's automated system and the fire/life-safety system while meeting National Electric Code (NEC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements. Therefore, it was necessary for technicians to coordinate with local authorities to be sure the solution was being installed per their requests.
To ensure the highest level of protection, Querker installed a fire panel with corresponding notification devices on each level of the building. By doing this, the system was able to go live one level at a time before the integrator had to troubleshoot the next level.
"On the back end, this plays into easy servicing, knowing exactly where the fault occurs," Querker explains.

McNeese State head football coach Matt Viator. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 9:46 PM
By Alex Hickey / American PressIf Santa Claus and the circus rolled into town on the same day, they'd call it National Signing Day.
To wit: one of this year's top national recruits at linebacker, Reuben Foster, has switched commitments from Auburn to Alabama despite already getting an Auburn logo tattooed on his forearm.
And that's just one of the things that happened pre-signing day.
The real fun comes today when entire fan bases wait with baited breath for an 18-year-old to put ink to paper and send it through a fax machine.
"It's not a regular day. The anticipation is certainly there," said McNeese State head coach Matt Viator. "You never know. We're very excited about what we think we're getting. We'll have to wait in the morning for the faxes. It really is exciting."
Even though McNeese isn't expected to have its hat pulled out of the bag by any of the top 50 national recruits being shown live on ESPNU, Viator understands why fans get so excited about this day.
"It's the anticipation of kind of seeing the future," Viator said. "People understand more now the importance of recruiting. The difference now is recruiting is year-round. You have dead periods, but you're already recruiting guys that are juniors. Even in the years I've been here it has progressed to the point it is year-round."
Recruiting has become its own industry on the Internet, further fueling the beast.
"You can read about recruiting at any time, Viator said. "Kids are speaking by Facebook, Twitter, that's different as well. The public is more informed than they've ever been."
Whether the Internet has made the recruiting game easier or more difficult is a matter of perspective. With everything readily available, coaches aren't likely to stumble upon a diamond in the rough.
"No longer is there a player going unnoticed," Viator said. "Whether you're from a big city or small city everything is out there. That's kind of changed."
Though the Internet may have leveled the playing field with regards to scouting, it still takes the personal touch to sell a program.
"The core is the same," Viator said. "It's about building relationships in schools, having a presence with your staff."

Title: Signing Day
McNeese Athletics---Pay the price for a noted quality coach and we can be excited about signing day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Passing Notes
Passing Notes, Inc., Oakland, California, 2005
As our ways of communication become more distant and less personal, we crave things that reconnect us in some small way with each other. To receive something that has been made by hand gives the piece a sense of value and intimacy. While growing up, passing notes with friends is often the first form of communication in the printed medium. It is a collection of memories and stories quietly captured in a personal token made permanent on paper. Passing Notes is about rediscovering and embracing the thrill of that first folded note, to instill the joy of design that touches the heart. Design that has meaning—that is felt as well as read, touched as well as heard. Appropriately, the stationery became the name of the company itself. When folded, it is the same size as a standard business card; when opened, it shares a personal note from the designer.
Juror Notes
Couldn't stop picking it up!
Makes you want to unfold it and touch it.
Relatively simply produced; elegant typography.
The folded piece in the shape of the heart is memorable.
Makes total sense for the business.
Looks as great folded as it does unfolded.

Justin Newcombe says you, too, could have a garden worthy of royalty.
Queen's Birthday is a celebration of Elizabeth II, Queen of England. I know there's a lot of to-ing and fro-ing over whether Her Majesty is an institution worthy of our celebration but whatever your view, the British royal family is one of the most significant dynasties of recent times. Theirs is a rich history (written by themselves, of course) handed down in fable, song, text, painting, sculpture - well everything, really. From gunshot to gumdrops there's the royal this, that and the other. Gardens have played a big part in what could be described now as a giant brand.
The British, particularly the English, have always valued an independence from continental Europe and the resulting insulation incubated many cultural idiosyncrasies.
One of these is the baroque garden of Hampton Court. The golden age of Hampton Court was during the reign of King William and his wife Mary from 1689. They created this homage to their wealth and power with the help of Christopher Wren. Open lawns with a strong "imposed" geography set the tone but many fountains and wide, pebbled paths also featured.
Shady alleys were introduced and an old orchard was transformed into a "wilderness area", a forerunner to the archetypal English landscape garden, which would echo through time, around the world, hand in hand with Britain's domination of more than half the planet.
You may never have a pleasure garden on this scale, but the basic premise is still the same: a balancing act between control (human) and the natural world. A garden designed in this way is a kind of battleground. Depending on the influence of the time, different elements come to the fore. English baroque style was designed to describe man's conquest over nature. Gardens designed 200 years later in the height of romanticism had an altogether different emphasis. This was a more outward-looking period, where science was asking some important questions and the old order was under attack from natural order. Sometimes romantic gardens had minimal lawns, with the most radical having the landscape garden approaching the house - as seen in the rise of the English cottage garden.
So what does that mean for you this weekend as you don the wellies and shuffle out into winter's frigid clasp? No matter what kind of garden you want to establish, the basic tenets haven't changed much. Control and domination rule the street front and the natural order rules the back. The rest is just a gradient from one to the other. If you follow that rather simplified recipe you'll end up with a high-impact front garden with minimal plant varieties, strong lines and a robust sense of design.
As you move through the property this tight control can slowly unwind into a more casual living area: patio, pool, lawn and so on. These areas usually don't have the municipal impact of the street front but are typically more interesting, with the back part of the garden becoming what used to be referred to as the landscape garden.
This basic recipe has established and re-established itself through time with the modern emphasis being on privacy. It will work well if you've got a postage stamp or you want somewhere larger to take the corgies for a trot.
