The Brazilian defender was carried off on a stretcher during the surprise 1-0 defeat and is due to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury.
But in the meantime Lyon boss Alain Perrin is said to be a big admirer of Heinze, who is desperate to leave Old Trafford and is a target for Liverpool.
With United manager Sir Alex Ferguson having underlined he does not want to let the Argentina international join one their arch rivals, the case will be heard by a Premier League arbitration panel next week.

But the recent deaths of two well-known figures served as a reminder that the entertainment industry's youth-is-king rule, like all rules, occasionally does get broken.
On Saturday, character actress Kathryn Joosten — best known as the ever-faithful Mrs. Landingham on "The West Wing" and the cranky yet sympathetic Karen McCluskey on "Desperate Housewives" — died of lung cancer at the age of 72; the next day, "Family Feud" host Richard Dawson died of esophageal cancer at age 79.
Career-wise, the two traveled different paths, but they shared one thing in common: The successes that made them famous didn't come their way until both were over 40.
Dawson was a known actor and personality in his 20s and 30s, thanks to stints on "Hogan's Heroes" and "Laugh-In," as well as "Match Game." But the gig that ultimately defined him was as the smooth, smoochy host of "Family Feud," a job that began in 1976, when he was 43.
Joosten's case, as many of her obituaries noted, was even more striking; she was 42 when she left her profession as a psychiatric nurse and started acting full-time. She moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream at the age of 55. Ten years later, at 65, she won the first of her two Emmy Awards.
That's an inspiring narrative. But what's even more inspiring is that Joosten is not alone in her industry, even if all those Demi Lovato magazine covers and OMG-peppered celebrity blogosphere comments often make us forget that. Many accomplished actors and artists didn't make it big, or even get their start, until they were at or near what we typically think of as midlife.
John Mahoney, the man who occupied memorable roles in "Moonstruck," "Say Anything..." and on TV's "Frasier"? He left a career as a medical journalist to become an actor when he was almost 40.
Susan Boyle sang famously about "dreaming a dream" on "Britain's Got Talent" a few days after her 48th birthday. Now, at 51, she's a multi-millionaire who recently performed during the queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant.
Although many knew who Jon Stewart was before he landed on "The Daily Show," he didn't achieve household-name status until, at age 37, he became America's premier political satirist.
Oh, and George Clooney? You've probably heard of him. He didn't break out big until he started treating patients on "E.R." at the age of 33, and, arguably, didn't become a bona fide movie star until he appeared in Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" when he was 37.
Yes, dewy faces and legs devoid of varicose veins are still the norm in celebrity-land. That's the circle of pop culture life, the one that keeps the rising-star-osphere spinning and allows preteens to continue rolling their eyes at their parents for not knowing who Carly Rae Jepsen is. (Pssst... she sings "Call Me Maybe," that pop confection that has already permanently implanted itself in your brain and will remain there for the entire summer.)
But Joosten, Dawson and others prove that it is still possible after a "certain" age to figure out what your signature something is and go do it. Is it rare? Yes. But it is possible. In a culture that, for better and worse, is often led by celebrity example, that's reassuring to know.
After all, if people have managed to do it in Hollywood, the land where the repair of broken dreams usually involves a few hits of Botox, it can be done anywhere.

In the beginning there was Tim Vets' autocutup-patch. His patch is based on the literary cut-up technique popularized by William S. Burroughs.
Autocutup analyses an audio-file and makes slices - which means it makes several parts out of the audio by detecting attacks. Then the slices will be played back in random order.
Making slices is a common method in music making. You can seperate different parts of a drum-sample to make new rhythmical structures out of it.
I try to work with slices in a combination of audio and video.
I started to add video to Tim Vets' original autocutup-patch.
To have more control over the slices i added MIDIMusical Instruments Digital Interface see also →OSC to the patch, so that the slices can be played with a keyboard for example. I decided to use AbletonLive to send rhythmical strucutres to the patch to make it more musical.
The next step was to work with live-video-material recorded by a webcam. So now I can record myself and the slices will be played back in realtime.
For the presentation i decided to have a prepared track in AbletonLive with beats and harmonics. So there is a kind of rhythmical preset wich triggers the slices. I can trigger the start of a recording-phrase (automatically 4sec of recording time) wich prepares the patch with new material to make new slices.
... but better: watch. :)
This lecture was called "In Sync". When you watch the documentation-video you might notice that not all is in sync, or that often it is not really clear if the audio and video are really synchronised. There could be many reasons:
I recorded the live-video of myself with a HD-camera. The sliced material is recorded with a HD-webcam. The sliced result is recorded with a epiphan frame-grabber to another computer. The sliced audio is recorded with QuickTime on the second computer. All record-buttons had not been pressed at the same time. So the documentation-technique was not the best. It was kind of hard to put the several formats together after recording. To resync a desynced synchronised formation is not the best way to make it.
Other "normal" problems are for example the resolution of video (framerate) compared to audio (samplerate).
And I will solve the problems with the click-sounds you sometimes here when a slice is triggered.
I would like make the Patch independent from Ableton Live. I would like to have more control and possibilities to work more freely with the slices.
I would like to have the audiovideocutuppatch for performance, for more theatrical use. I would like to play with language. And I am looking for a stronger content within the patch or the usage of using sliced video and sound.

Here's what I did:
I pulled apart the C441 connector at the tank to see if I could electrically test my sending resistor. When I started the job, I may have mistakenly put my meter's ohm tester in the connector that goes back to the engine area, instead of testing the wires that go into the tank. The electrical diagram shows that the wires from the fuel pump are connected to the inertia switch, the fuel pump relay, and the EEC (Electronic Engine Control Module). It's possible that I sent + or - 9 volts back to the EEC. Anyway, after I ran the tests with my meter, the engine wouldn't start, despite a strong sound from the fuel pump.
Could the ohmmeter connection back to the front of the engine have damaged the EEC, or something else, and now be the cause of the failure-to-start? I'm now stranded!

IQALUIT -- B.C. lead Anita Cochrane would have preferred to be on the ice instead of in the stands when we played her team at the Arnaitok Arena in Iqaluit at the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship on Wednesday night.
The fact that she is here competing at this event at all, however, is truly inspiring.
Cochrane has incurable cancer, but was determined not to miss out on her first national curling championship.
"It was never an option for me not to come here," said Cochrane, 37, who is joined in Iqaluit by her parents, who flew in all the way from Australia.
Cochrane adjusted her chemotherapy schedule before coming, taking an extra week off so she would have enough energy to compete. She played in seven of B.C.'s first nine games.
Shortly after Cochrane married her husband Michael in May of 2001, the couple shaved their heads and embarked on a cross-Canada bike trip for their honeymoon. Part of their journey was to raise money for cancer research, as the disease had claimed Michael's mother and a sister of Anita's maid-of-honour. They raised $1,200. At their final stop in St. John's, N.L., four months later, Cochrane discovered a lump, and in May of 2002, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Over the past five years, her women's curling team has raised almost $160,000 and donated it to the Weekend to End Breast Cancer foundation.
"I have always loved life," she said. "That's one thing that hasn't changed."
As the weather is heating up here in Iqaluit, so is the action at the Arnaitok Arena as round-robin play heads into the home stretch.
Our team booked a ticket for tomorrow's championship game in Iqaluit after beating Saskatchewan's Darrell McKee 9-6 in a first-place showdown here last night to improve to 9-1. Trailing 6-5 after seven ends in what was a see-saw battle, we broke things open with a decisive four-ender in the eighth. Saskatchewan will finish the round-robin in second place at 9-2, and will play either Ontario's Wayne Tuck (8-3) or Nova Scotia's Mark Dacey (7-3) in tonight's semi-final. Dacey needs to beat New Brunswick this morning to force a tie-breaker with Ontario. We play our final round-robin game this morning against P.E.I.
We have had no trouble finding excellent food here. Contrary to what some may think, we have not been surviving on a diet of seal, caribou and walrus.
Buffets are offered to us every day for lunch, and the menus are not much different from what we would see back home. We will, though, get a chance to sample more of the traditional Inuit food at the athletic club today.
It warmed up to -8 C here on Wednesday, and for the first time we felt comfortable walking around. There are a lot of hills and snow here, but you will not find a single tree. Iqaluit is on the south coast of Baffin Island.

Gallery: Daikoku PA, the world's wildest car meet?
Top Gear's whistle-stop tour of one of the car world's most fascinating locations...
Wait a minute, haven't you already reviewed the new Golf GTI?
We have indeed, observant internetist, but that was the Golf GTI with the optional Performance Pack. In a first for the Golf GTI, the MkVII is available in two flavours: hot (217bhp), or, thanks to some software tweakery, extra-hot (227bhp). We first tested extra-hot, so now it's time to give the standard GTI a go.
So what's different?
Well, the MkVII Golf GTI is lighter, more economical and a lot techier than the outgoing model. It's powered by a turbocharged, direct injection 2.0-litre petrol engine attached to either a six-speed manual, or six-speed DSG 'box. In normal spec that means 217bhp and 258lb ft of torque - which is 51 more torques than the old model and the same as the Golf R.
But what's different about this one compared to the Performance Pack?
Not a huge amount. You get the same amount of torque but ten fewer horsepowers, slightly smaller brakes and an electronic 'XDS+' differential lock instead of the PP's full-on differential - or 'E-diff' in VW speak.
See more pics of the new Golf GTI
No proper diff? Does that mean that I'm going to understeer into a hedge at the first sniff of a corner?
No, because XDS+ is mighty effective. It applies the brakes to the inside wheel, and when you're corning hard, you can feel it biting away at each axle trying to tame your exuberance and stop you branding the front number plate in the nearest rock.
217bhp sounds a bit tame besides the 276bhp Astra VXR.
True, the stock Golf GTI is some way behind the high-horsepower marker laid down by the VXR, Megane RS and Focus ST. But the Golf by no means feels sluggish, just more… composed in the way it gathers speed. Think of the VXR as a hobnail-booted hooligan, and the GTI is as a businessman in a tailored, tartan-lined, suit. With, er, a pair of running spikes in his briefcase. It's a lot easier to extract the Golf's performance, which means you can cover ground quicker and with more confidence - especially with the DSG 'box.
But I want a manual.
You do indeed, especially as the GTI's gearknob is pitted like a golf ball in homage to the MKI Golf. It feels a bit odd at first, like you're rummaging around Happy Gilmore's pocket, but once you've used it, the analogue box is a proper peach.
The steering is great too, thanks to VW's new 'progressive steering', which is standard on all GTIs and constantly alters the gearing of the steering depending upon the driver's inputs. Sounds like a gimmick, but it means lock-to-lock takes just two turns, allowing you to keep your hands in the same place on the wheel when driving on tight, twisty roads.
So how do I tell the difference between the stock GTI and the Performance Pack?
The only visual clue is the lack of lettering on the brake calipers. You still get all the GTI elements: the badges, bigger bumpers, a roof spoiler, twin exhausts and red line on the radiator grille that now continues into the standard bi-xenon headlights in a very glam-rock-eyeliner way. Inside, the cloth tartan interior wraps around a cabin that includes a flat-bottomed steering wheel, red ambient lighting and GTI trim strips.
See more pics of the new Golf GTI
Sounds very… predictable.
Maybe, but the Golf GTI has always been the useable, compact performance car. And this one remains a genuine all-rounder, especially with the optional £800 adaptive chassis that alters the cars dynamics to suit your mood. You can choose from comfort, normal and sport… or set up your own throttle sensitivity, engine responsiveness, steering weight and suspension combo to suit you. Which means you can be softly cruising down the motorway, see some nice twisty roads, so you hit 'sport' and at the touch of a button everything's sharp, stiff and hot-hatchy for a more focused drive.
So, come on then. Base GTI or Performance Pack?
With GTI prices starting at a weighty £25,845, you may be hesitant about forking out £980 for the Performance Pack. But we'd recommend opting for the extra power, as it turns out to actually be a bit of a bargain. It's the same price as a set of 19-inch alloys, and though the additional 10bhp is broadly insignificant, the bigger brakes and electronic limited-slip diff are worth the extra cash. Though the standard car's electronic differential isn't bad, the ability of the E-diff to shove 100 per cent of torque to the front wheel in need is truly impressive. The Performance Pack enhances the GTI's rep as a fast, compact, useable car for everyday. But even if you don't tick that box, the standard model is a great bit of kit.
How about an alternative?

Penn State Berks is a commonwealth campus of Pennsylvania State University located in Spring Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.[1]
First known as Wyomissing Polytechnic Institute, Penn State Berks became part of the Penn State system in 1958. The Berks campus has experienced many changes since then. WPI occupied the original Sacred Heart Church building on Hill Road, where the McDonald's Restaurant now stands, from 1930 to 1958. Its facilities were offered to Penn State to establish Penn State Wyomissing Center. It moved to its present Spring Township location in 1972. Dormitories were first added in 1990 with additional dorms in 2001, which made Berks a commuter as well as a residential campus.[2]
Student enrollment at Penn State Berks has increased steadily since 1972, when approximately 500 students attended. Today, there are an estimated 2,800 students enrolled. The campus currently has 15 buildings on 241 acres (1 km²) of land. There are 100 full-time and 70 part-time faculty members.[3]
While being a commonwealth campus of the state land-grant university, since 1997 it has offered baccalaureate degrees independently from The Pennsylvania State University University Park campus in partnership with a neighboring campus under the title of Berks and Lehigh Valley College. Under a university-ordered reconstruction, Penn State Berks and Penn State Lehigh Valley were split in 2005. Penn State Berks became a stand-alone college in the Penn State system and Penn State Lehigh Valley became a part of the University College system.

As with any Penn State Commonwealth Campus, a student can start their undergraduate degree here and "transfer" to the University Park Campus or any other Commonwealth Campus to complete their degree, usually after two years of study.
Student life[edit]
Penn State Berks has over 50 active clubs.[4] All student organizations are overseen by the Student Government Association, which requires that all clubs complete 24 hours of community service per semester in return for providing funds.
Student Government Association[edit]
The Student Government Association (SGA) consists of two groups: The General Assembly, which is composed of a representative of each active club, as well as several Representative Senators, who each represent 300 students, and the Staff. The Staff is broken into two groups. The Executive Staff consists of the President, Vice-President, Financial Manager (elected positions) Chief of Staff, and Secretary(appointed).
The rest of staff consists of Directors and the Chairs and Co-Chairs of different committees; directors do not have committees. Every committee has a Chair and Co-Chair or two Co-Chairs. Members of the Staff do not get to vote on legislation brought to the General Assembly; the President may pass or veto the legislation, however, a veto can be overturned by a 3/4 vote of the General Assembly. General Assembly members are required to be an active member of at least one committee. Members of the Executive Staff, Staff, and General Assembly regularly attend the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments at the University Park Campus.

By Chelsea Karnash and Elizabeth Hur
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Police say they believe a serial bank robber is off the streets.
The inner and outer lanes of the Roosevelt Boulevard were gridlocked on Tuesday evening due to a police investigation into a bank robbery.
The suspect reportedly robbed the Wells Fargo at Welsh Road and the Boulevard then tried to hop on a SEPTA bus and make a getaway.
"For some reason, he felt the need to – after robbing the bank – get on a SEPTA bus as his getaway vehicle," explains Chief Inspector Scott Small, of the Philadelphia Police Department.
Odd, as a SEPTA bus makes frequent stops. But that's not all.
Police were able to track and stop the suspect using a tracker placed in the stolen money.
"Bank employees gave up the money but also put a tracking device in the money," Inspector Small says.
With the tracking device on him, police say the suspect made a run for it around 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Officers were able to locate the tracking device about a mile away at Cottman and the Boulevard.
"When police entered the SEPTA bus, they found the suspect…who matched the description of the bank robber. When they stopped this individual on the bus, they not only found the money stolen from the bank, they also found the tracking device," Small says.
Police say the bank teller was brought to the scene where the bus was stopped and that teller was able to identify the suspect.
In the latest case, police say the suspect used a demand note threatening he had a gun. Thankfully, police say he was not armed and the 15 passengers on the bus were not hurt.
Investigators are now looking into the possibility that the same suspect is responsible for a total of four recent bank robberies in Northeast Philadelphia.

Letter: Visitor impressed by businesses, people
I visited your fair city recently and instaneously fell in love with it. Stopping first at the Hy-Vee, I have yet to see a store nicer than this one. It was large, neat, and clean as a pin. Brian, one of the managers, was quick to give me permission to take pictures of some of the departments and people therein. I did and was overwhelmed by the kind reception I received. They were nice to me even though they knew in an instant I was an "Iowegian." Amazingly, we spoke the same language.
Later, I toured the city briefly and found it picture perfect. Then, I went over to Jim Klinkenborg's motorcycle shop. Jim was there and was his usual cordial self. I was impressed with the shop, the variety of cycles therein, and especially the personnel. Jim remembered me as one of his former teachers. I know him and many of his relatives in Rock Rapids, Iowa. They are all nice people.
I left thinking to myself that this is a place in which I could easily live and thrive. I do not know what you are doing, but it appears to me that you are doing a lot of things right! Keep it up.
The Globe has long been one of my favorite papers. Jill Callison, a former employee of yours, is a long-time acquaintance and friend of mine. She now writes for the Argus Leader.
I will be back! Of that you can be sure.
Respectfully and enthusiastically yours,

James Cameron's "Aliens" is, in my humble opinion, the definitive Humans vs. Aliens movie. As far as I'm concern, every film that has come after "Aliens" are inferior clones. Even the animated "Final Fantasy", for all of its cinematic breakthroughs, was nothing more than a rich man's "Aliens." It's no surprise then that "Aliens" is the film by which I measure all Humans vs. Aliens movies.
What makes "Aliens" a classic is how it brilliantly lulls you into its world with a sense of security before assaulting your senses with a barrage of American firepower, acid-spewing aliens, and claustrophobic tension. In fact, the movie doesn't even kick into high gear until well after the 50-minute mark, but as soon as that happens, the film never relents. The way the film manages to sustain its high-octane power, while never compromising on its quiet, personal moments, is just incredible.
"Aliens" is James Cameron's sequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 "Alien", a cerebral experience that attempted to scare with atmosphere and paranoia. "Aliens," on the other hand, is content to thrill with firepower. The film brings back Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the only survivor from the first film, who has been frozen in cryo sleep for the last half century or so. Awaken into a new world she is ill-prepared for, Ripley is informed that the alien planet where the alien creature that terrorized her commercial vessel (from the first film) came from has since been colonized by humans. Oh, and it just so happens that said colony has gone off the radar, and the colonists are believed…in trouble.
Ripley is asked to return to the alien planet as a guide to check up on the colonists. She is hesitant at first, but eventually agrees out of a need to resolve unfinished business (of the personal and alien-killing variety, natch). The bulk of the rescue crew consists of Marines, including the easygoing Hicks (Michael Biehn), the loudmouth Hudson (Bill Paxton), and the inexperienced commander, Gorman (William Hope). No sooner does the crew land on the planet that it becomes apparent things have gone terribly wrong. In fact the colonists are either all dead, fed on, or are being used as breeding apparatus by the aliens!
"Aliens" is the perfect title for this movie. Whereas part one was called "Alien", properly denoting the single alien creature in that movie, "Aliens" is literally crawling with the alien creatures. They are everywhere — on the ceiling, along the walls, and in the shadows. Under Cameron's direction, the aliens are frighteningly real, physical, and in your face. They move with the speed of snakes and kills with the ferocity of tigers, but what really makes them a formidable foe is their cunning. These bastards are smart, has mastered organization, and there are a lot of them.
Once the first mini-gun opens fire, "Aliens" shifts into action mode. At nearly two hours and 20 minutes, the movie lives up to the original film and, in my opinion, surpasses it. This is no cerebral experience, this is full-tilt action at its finest. Best of all, Cameron and his crew has the cast and the budget to pull off everything they wanted. Even more impressive is that this is only Cameron's second movie, the first being "The Terminator". (Cameron actually shot, edited, and released "The Terminator" and "Aliens" back-to-back. He was also the writer of 1986's "First Blood," the first "Rambo" movie. How's that for a banner year?)
Besides making a star out of Sigourney Weaver as one of the first woman in cinematic history to kick ass and take names on an epic scale, the film features perhaps the finest and most memorable character to sci-fi fans everywhere. Bill Paxton ("Frailty") is Hudson, the loudmouth who utters some of the most memorable lines in all of sci-fi, including but not limited to his mantra of, "Game over, man! Game over!" after the alien army has all but destroyed his unit.
"Aliens" is good stuff. No, let me rephrase that. "Aliens" is great stuff.

CAST: Sigourney Weaver …. Ripley
Michael Biehn …. Hicks
Paul Reiser …. Burke
Lance Henriksen …. Bishop

Nokia 208 Philippines – Old School but Still Cool
The Nokia 208 Malaysia is the modern day bar phone from the smartphone brand that has paved the way for the industry to become what it is today. This phone is a basic phone that can do all the communication tasks that you need to do, minus the internet. Simple phone and text feature is the main purpose of this phone with a little fun on the side.
Great Audio Quality
This basic phone from Nokia has a polished audio quality that's 20% louder than its predecessor. Despite a noisy environment, the Nokia 208 can give you crisp and clear call quality. Its phone speakers for calling can even be heard 1 feet away at a maximum volume, that is without being placed on loud speakers. On the other hand, the phone also has a speaker at the back for multimedia purposes like mp3 or radio. It can also pretty much do the job to satisfy your need for audio music experience without having to use an earphone.
Basic Features
This phone comes with the basic utility tools such as the flashlight, Calculator, Calendar, and to do apps. And, the phone runs on Nokia's classic Symbian OS. The phone is powered by an 800mAh battery and sports a 1.40-inch display that holds a resolution of 128x128 pixels. It has 2 pre-installed games which are Bubble Bash 2 and Snake Xenzia. However, there are four other games that you could buy and download into the phone from Gameloft.
Durability a Standard Feature
One of the best things that we could never take away from Nokia Lumia 208 Malaysia and basic phones like this one from Nokia is the durability that comes with it. You are guaranteed that the phone could stand heavy falls or resist splashes of water thanks to its durable build. It's no surprise since Nokia has been well-known for its phones' unmatched durability.
Long Lasting Battery Life
Small things make a huge difference. For one, the phone's tiny features give way for more battery life. The Nokia Lumia 208 Malaysia is equipped with only 800mAh, but the phone's specs could barely consume its entirety in a day. This phone is best kept with you when you're on an outdoor adventure, and will serve as a perfect emergency phone that could keep you connected with your loved ones for days with just a single charge.

comparing a few bikes
So I was looking at a few bikes (relatively new to biking and all the parts and stuff leave me generally clueless to quality) and they all seem similar to me with my basic research I've attempted on my own...but I'm not really sure! Is there any sort of ranking or anything or is one of these things not like the other? Money is an object! So I would probably lean away from the Treck and towards one of the others if all else is essentially equal. Of course there is also testing them by riding them once I figure this out!
Fuji ABSOLUTE 2.1 - STEP OVER - $479
Treck - 7.2 FX - $549.99
Cannondale- QUICK 6 - $510
Giant- ESCAPE 2 - $500
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
My first post ever, how thrilling.
Welcome to the Forums.
Now down to business. Since we kinda have an idea of your budget, how about your intended use for the bike? Fitness, transportation, fun? Going to be riding on roads only or wanting to do a little dirt/gravel riding as well?
Basically fitness and fun. I will be mainly on roads, but possibly slight gravel on a bike path. As far as a little dirt I'm not sure exactly what that means unless its equal to the little gravel then maybe if theres dirt on the road! Haha, but nothing like mountain biking or anything of that nature.
Sorry for the delay I was walking my dog. :)
On paper, I really like the Giant Escape line. However, the geometry is just a bit 'off' for me, which I discovered after getting my hands on one at the LBS.
If all of the bikes that you listed are available locally to you, I'd suggest taking each for a test spin. That should help you narrow down the list a bit. You might also want to poke around in the Hybrid forum, as most of these models are talked about quite frequently.
Thank you for your opinion and help!
^ Yup. Ride as many candidates as you can. The one that feels most comfortable to you - and the one where the bike shop takes the time to listen, adjust things, and help - that's probably the one to get. These are all pretty close pricewise.
I've only seen the Giant Escape in person, while at a shop on other business (waiting) and I commented to the bike store how well equipped it was at its price point. I just recommended it to a friend for his college graduate daughter to try.
Buy from the dealer you like the best or is the closest those are a 6 of one half a dozen of the other. The shop that clicks with you gets the sale IMHO
You got local Dealers for all those ?. go do some test rides..
+1) shop for the Dealer you like, then select a bike they sell..
|All times are GMT -6. The time now is 11:21 PM.

I can't remember the exact website. But I think it's seedealercost.com. I used it this fall when purchasing my 13 LSV. It breaks down msrp vs invoice. I think it's fairly accurate. Good luck!

I can't remember the exact website. But I think it's seedealercost.com. I used it this fall when purchasing my 13 LSV. It breaks down msrp vs invoice. I think it's fairly accurate. Good luck!
just remember boat dealers don't sell that many boats in a month, so they have to make more per sale when compared to a new car dealer
Hey just go pull the trigger, when I bought my 13 LSV I was just going to my local dealer to buy some pop up cleats for my 06 outback, by the time I got back home I had the pop up cleats I went for, just so happen they were on the new boat I talked myself into buying
2013 Moomba LSV
It's like buying gas. 5-10% more isn't worth driving across town. Get to know your local dealer and ask about ordering a boat. They might not want to order an OBV without a presale but might love having yours sitting there for a few months while it's cold out. They might sell 5 boats off yours. Be a good guy and let 'em store it in the showroom.
I love the ski wake of my OBV; at my speed and length it's almost as good as that of my Outback DD, and I'd have to say there is no chance that a VTX has a better slalom wake.
If you are going to buy an OBV order exactly what you want, or buy used. I don't see much sense in settling for a dealer lot new boat when you can order.
unless you are a competition skier, the differences in the obv and vtx will be negligible. just like the obv/dd, the vtx is a response hull but it was not designed differently to ride better with 1000lbs of engine hanging on the butt end. I would give the edge on paper to the obv with it's 200lb weight advantage. either one will produce a good slalom wake but if you are looking for a response-style wake, buy a response.
at the end of the day both boats will be very close in performance, ask yourself:
-do I want the perceived 'bu fit/finish and malivue but in a used boat with no warranty and someone elses break-in or
-do I want a new boat, ordered my way, warranty, solid construction and one of the best values in a new boat(not to mention support from the best forum on the web).
both boats should cost roughly the same and resale at the 5year mark will be comparable on a 5 y.o. obv and a now 7-8 y.o. vtx but I would bet the overall cost of maintenance and should any repairs need to be made, advantage will fall to the obv.
no brainer for me as the obv would be in the garage. I will disagree with Ian in that if you can find a leftover '13 with everything you want, price on that will give an even bigger advantage to the moomba choice. they are out there and-hearing 3rd hand from someone on another forum comparing obv to a different 20ft boat-some '13's are being closed out with prices that start in the mid40's new.
Good points, and I'll be seeing what is around our area. A used Moomba is a rare thing around here since they really just started selling them here a couple years ago and don't seem to be selling many. The used market has far more Malibus, since that seems to be the brand of choice in our area - you see a couple MC's and almost never see a Nautique or Centurian.
I do like a comp ski boat, but will settle for the v-drive in the name of space. While I might put my boat through the course a couple times just to try it out, I'm normally behind an LXI or Prostar for that.
FWIW, I wound up buying a 2012 VTX with the Diamond Hull yesterday. Thanks for the info that was provided.

" Genre: Fighting / Published by: Capcom "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Having played and loved Power Stone on the Dreamcast I was keen to enjoy it once more on the small screen. I remember it being so frantic, but really great fun with all my game playing mates.
On the PSP you can chose to play what is referred to as the original version, or a revamped version. The graphics are wonderful, as is the sound and the action is replicated so well that I thought I was on my Dreamcast again. The controls are spot on too, picking up those power-ups and blasting your enemies. You could compare it to Super Smash Bros but with a real manga flair to it. The weapons are really great and picking up the zapper gun is a way to do some real damage.
The only thing that lets this down is there is no multiplayer fun. One player only, no link modes, so the memory of laughing with my mates was not brought to the PSP... shame.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. — The NPD Group has expanded its coverage of the U.S. prestige beauty market through its new BeautyTrends Direct service, which tracks direct-to-consumer sales of fragrance, makeup and skin care products sold on department store websites, in key online-only beauty retailers and through TV/home-shopping retailers.
"We are excited to share a more well-rounded analysis of the beauty market with this new tracking service," stated Diane Nicholson, president of U.S. Softlines, The NPD Group. "This is an opportunity for our business partners to get insights into this competitive landscape and understand the unique dynamics of this beauty channel."
NPD BeautyTrends Direct reveals the direct-to-consumer beauty sales increased 18% in 2012 to $1.96 billion compared with 2011. Skin care represented more than half of those sales, followed by makeup, with almost a third of annual dollars.
"At nearly 20% of the U.S. prestige beauty market, the direct-to-consumer channel is increasing and playing a larger role in shaping leading market trends," stated Karen Grant, VP and senior global industry analyst for The NPD Group. "Growing ever more connected, consumers will continue to take advantage of and benefit from the competitive and specialized offerings made available to them through this convenient channel."

Very nice work!

Cool looking draw!!
Oooooooooooooooooooo Very lovely!!! You are sooo talented! 5h!!
Wow I- I don't even how to describe this, maybe I'll try using with one one word: unique. :D The scene reminds me of underwater for some reason, maybe because of the plants and tiny bubbles in the corner. xD I love the mesmerising eyes. :) 5/5 hearts
I like it, though I think it would make it look a little better if the shadows on the face were more blurred. I think their sharpness make them stand out from the foreground a little too much. Nonetheless, very nice. 5/5

SMART529 Matching Grant Program has expanded and is now open to all eligible families, including families who have a SMART529 college savings account already, according to a news release from the State Treasurer's office.
Families may be eligible to receive a savings match of up to $500 a year and up to $2,500 lifetime per child if the family qualifies. Officials said the funds may be used for higher education expenses at eligible institutions.
To qualify for the program, the beneficiary must be a W.Va. resident and must be 12 years of age or younger; the account holder must have filed a state income tax return as a W.Va. resident in the year prior to opening a SMART529 account; the family must meet income requirements; and the account holder must be able to claim the beneficiary as a dependent for income tax purposes, according to the news release.
"We are very excited that this program will now benefit all eligible students no matter if they are currently in the SMART529 program or still considering joining it," said State Treasurer John Perdue. "A college education is the best possible way to start your child off on the right track; however, paying for a college education today can be challenging. The matching grant program will help those with the biggest challenge jump start their college savings plan."
The U.S. Department of Labor indicates that college graduates earn nearly twice as much as high school graduates. In addition, "90 percent of the fastest growing jobs of the future will require some post-secondary education or training," Perdue said.

Hi Jeannie: As a Catholic, I can relate to the sore knees. I also have some trouble just balancing when it's time to stand. I tend to alternate sitting and standing and it helps, and I reserve the kneeling for only specific parts of the Mass.
Yes, thinking back to my grade school years, I remember little things like my finger and thumb muscles getting really sore just holding into something. And, I've gotten toe/leg cramps off and on for years. My neurologist asked me if I had "always been klutzy" (nothing like being blunt, eh??) and the answer is, yes. Guess that's why I always hated P.E. and any sports. The pieces fit, that's for sure.

Under yesterday's lampshades, which were once covered with dusted fabric, lies an element that calls for a change in perspective: the O'Wire clock.
Time is on your Zeit!
Made of a lampshade's frame, it not only tells time, but also simultaneously serves as a spacial sculpture.
As pictured, the twelve wires of the frame reach into the room while also aligning with the clock's hands at just the right times, creating connected, sleek lines.
njustudio products meet the need for more than bare function: They are food for thought on issues of our post-modern life – they create links to individual experiences and memories.

Buying First Big Boy Bike.....
Hi all,
I am a recent college graduate now into my professional career and I am looking for a quality bike with a reasonable price point. I will use this bike to 95% commute during the winter and 65/35 commute during the other seasons. My commute isn't quite as long, but the many errands I will be running on this bike make it worth the extra cost to have something versatile, durable and fun. Just to throw in, I will be riding rail trails and compacted dirt trails in the summer months.
So, about me: I am rookie cyclist (as you will soon find out), but I am tired of owning box store bikes that weigh 50 lbs and that improperly shift in the most inconvenient times. I am a bit of a bigger guy (I mean, I could drop 20-30 lbs, so we aren't talking hundreds here...) and I absolutely require being in a somewhat upright position.
I have spoken to some bike shops and I am about 90% certain that I want either the Specialized Crossroads Sport or Specialized Crossroads Elite model. The shop is offering me 10% off either with an all cash purchase, Making the Bikes around 460 or 594. (links to the bikes at the bottom of the post). But before I buy, I have several questions:
1)Is the Elite model really worth the extra $134? Why?
2)What are the benefits of having a 9 speed cassette compared to an 8 speed?
3)Are there any other bikes within a $650 or below (new only) price range, in similar or better quality from other brands I should check out?
You need two bikes.
1) the nice one (big boy bike) for recreational and fun day rides
2) the craigslist beater / not as nice bike for your running errands & commuting. If your $1400 bike gets stolen while you're in the grocery store you're going to be much more pissed than if it was the bike you got for $150 on craigslist. which by the way doesn't need to be garbage, just a cheaper used bike that is not a huge deal if it gets run over by a car on the way, or stolen.
1) The Elite has an aluminum fork. This will be lighter, but won't absorb bumps as well as steel. It also has upgraded components and a different crankset (48/36/26 vs 48/38/28). Fewer teeth up front means you'll be able to tackle some bigger hills, but to put things in perspective, I'm running a 48/38/28 and have never needed to drop to the lowest gear, even on the bigger hills in my area. Finally, the tires are upgraded to "Armadillo" which I assume means it has some sort of puncture protection. Depending on the level of broken glass and gravel on your routes, this may or may not be worth it.
2) More gears means you're more likely to find one to match your situation. I'm running a 7 speed cassette right now, and there are times when I wish I had gears in between.
3) Maybe something in Trek's DS line or Giant's Roam line? Most bicycle manufacturers have lines that will fit your usage and budget. At that level, they're pretty much all equal, so pick the one you like the best.
And for your "good" bike I would highly recommend a Trek FX 7.1 or 7.2 depending on your price. (based on the two bikes you posted above)
For what it is worth, my bike will be stored indoors both at home and work...and I never mentioned anything about a $1400 bike.
either way I still recommend the Trek FX 7.1
I'd also look at the Giant Escape 3, and the Specialized Sirrus.
if you want a specialized that's good for commuting and other things, but don't want a road bike, look at the hybrid type bike like the Sirrus http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/fitness/sirrus
the Trek and the Giant i recommended are the same kind of bike. hybrids that offer the best of both MTBs and road bikes, and are built for urban street errands and commuting but can also ride some light gravel trails as well.
these are higher level bikes of their product lines for each company so they have slightly better components that the lower models.
all of these fit at or below your $650 budget as well.
Gotcha. What do you think about the crosstrail models?
I agree with Sci Guy for the most part. Horses for courses. Heck people have different vehicles for different kinds of activities. I don't, however, think Craigslist is the best source for a beater bike. Unless its hot, there is usually a hidden reason the seller wants to get rid of it. Some choice , stolen property or compromised in some way. Maybe its me, but I'd rather get gouged by a local co-op or LBS that does a consignment trade or refurbishes trade ins. I haggled a full $100 off the asking price for a very nice vintage Team U.S.A. that was built up by an LBS. On Craigslist similar bikes have all kinds of substitutions of components from the stock ones and a 'newbie' won't spot them. Even if you can't get the price down you can usually make up some of the difference between what you paid, and what you should have paid, in after-sale service. Try doing that with the Craigslist guy who insisted on meeting you in a park somewhere..."no names, ok, it's better that way...". FWIW.
If you're planning to commute regularly, without regard to weather, you'll want to make sure you can fit decent fenders on the bike. I couldn't tell from Specialized's site if there are attachment points on the back -- you usually want one down near the bottom bracket, and one up around the brake bridge.
For running errands, you'll want a rack. Dump stuff into panniers, lash big stuff on top, etc. Looks like these models lack rack mount points.
Touring bikes aren't fashionable, but they have everything you need. Just saying...
Bend is a Ski town , Now. it's in the high ground, long ways from the coast.
I'd seriously consider checking out what your local bike shops have to offer, especially in the way of used bikes. A good used bike - particularly one that is well maintained by your LBS - could offer you a lot more value for the money, and as others have said, you won't be heartbroken if it gets damaged or stolen.
A new bike shop in my town specializes in urban bicycles for commuting and just general riding, and they have a several, older Raleighs, etc. that they repair, restore, and clean up for resale. These never last too long. They are classic bikes, ride great, and because they don't look like the latest or greatest, are not as obvious targets for bike theft.
Unless you plan on moving up to "hardcore" riding or racing, my personal opinion is to not buy more bike than you think you can handle. I'm no mechanic, but I used to maintain my cheap, big box road bike when I was a kid. A pain, but easy to do. Since then, I've gotten more bikes, including a fat bike with "modern" components: thumb shifters, disc brakes, aluminum frame, etc. But technology creep can be deceptive, and the latest and greatest doesn't necessary benefit the ordinary person in normal riding conditions. And under most riding conditions, the difference between say, 8 gears and 9 gears, is pretty insignificant. But I like my Rivendell bikes - nice and simple technology, clean lines, easy to maintain. And don't be fooled: some of the older bikes can go pretty bloody fast too! Your mileage might vary, of course.
Good luck with your decision!
I like the sci guy's recommendations. If you do buy a new bike, you can hardly go wrong with Specialized. I'm not one to steer people towards or away from any particular brand, but I really like the lineup of Specialized bikes. Dumb name, though.
Trek is the biggest bike company, and their bikes are good, though I'm sure I can find a few of their models that are either boring or dumb. (Do I have to specify that this is merely opinion of one insignificant person?)
Cannondale Bad Boy 9
The only thing I don't like about it is the tires.
so bike shops actually sell used bikes near you? I have a couple of bike shops here but I have never seen them selling used bikes...
The Elite has a RED STRIPE. That's scientifically proven to make it go faster. Also it has a black stem (which I think looks uglier). Armadillo tires, as noted above, will be more flat-resistant, so that's useful for an all-rounder. Also, looking at the drivetrain, not only is it 9-speed, it's a step or two up the ladder in the Shimano mtn hierarchy from Altus (or below) to Acera. May perform a little better, although nowadays even the lower tiers perform pretty decently. 9sp vs 8 doesn't make much difference; both have a rear tooth range of 11-32, as noted above the 48-26 in the front gives you a hair more on the low end for hills. That 9th speed just gives you one more in the back so at one point you get a closer shift. Some people get annoyed if their is a perceptible 'wide gap' and they can't be in the perfect gear for their cadence.
Of course, the shop will certainly let you try both of them out. Leave your wallet or drivers license or something, and take them each on the same course around a few blocks. If the cheaper one seems to shift poorly, or the slightly closer gear step on the elite makes you happy, then you know which is the right one to buy.

Louis Grachos Leaving the Albright-Knox
by Geoff Kelly - posted 11:00 am, June 14, 2012
Louis Grachos, director of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, is leaving for a new post in Austin, Texas. Here's the press release from the AKAG:
The Albright-Knox Art Gallery announced today that Director Louis Grachos has accepted the position of Executive Director at AMOA-Arthouse, a new organization formed by the merger of two long-standing arts organizations in Austin, Texas, effective January 2013. He will be leaving Buffalo and the Albright- Knox after a decade of outstanding leadership, which saw significant growth and change for the institution.
In announcing Grachos's departure, Leslie H. Zemsky, President of The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, the Gallery's governing body, said, "Louis has done incredible work at the Gallery. He has dedicated himself to continuing to build a vibrant, vital art museum and positioning it for future development as part of the fabric of a strong arts community in Western New York. His work here has energized and engaged the entire region of Buffalo Niagara and beyond. Today, the Gallery is set for a period of unprecedented growth as a result of his tenure. We will continue his great work. We are forming a committee to initiate a national search for our next director, and we will be working closely with Louis to ensure a smooth transition. On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I extend our sincere thanks to Louis for his dedication and commitment to the Gallery, and for his leadership in placing this museum at the vanguard of contemporary and modern art. It has truly been a pleasure to work with him on so many important projects."
Speaking about his new appointment and his transition, Grachos said, "I am looking forward to working to build a world-class contemporary program in Austin. It is an exciting and unique opportunity. The merger of the Austin Museum of Art and Arthouse at the Jones Center presents endless possibilities to create a new model for an organization that will creatively integrate contemporary and modern art into the entire Austin community.
1 of 3I look forward to working with the BFAA's Board of Directors to ensure a smooth transition for the Albright-Knox. I will miss the strong, talented management team we have here, and I want to thank them for their support. We still have a lot to do over the next six months, as we continue to celebrate our landmark 150th anniversary with a variety of exhibitions, programs, and events for the whole community. I want to thank our outstanding Board of Directors, who have steadfastly supported me over the past ten years. It has been an honor to work with such wonderful people at one of the world's great contemporary and modern art museums. I am proud, too, of being part of our region's growth as a world- class art and architecture destination. I will continue to champion the great work of the Albright-Knox."
Grachos has been director of the Albright-Knox since December 2002. During his tenure, he has implemented a strong, dynamic exhibitions program, which featured the landmark exhibition Extreme Abstraction in 2005, as well as the Remix and Artists in Depth series of exhibitions that mined and deeply explored the Gallery's Collection in new ways, frequently inviting leading local, national, and international artists to engage with the Gallery and become involved in selecting and installing exhibitions in the museum's spaces. He also initiated a host of innovative and important projects, programs, and community collaborations, which include Art'scool, Gusto at the Gallery, and M&T FIRST FRIDAYS @ THE GALLERY. Grachos has applied his strong vision to the Gallery's vibrant acquisitions program, adding many significant, key works to the Collection over the past ten years and ensuring its growth for the future. The exhibition DECADE: Contemporary Collecting 2002– 2012, which the Gallery will present this fall in concert with a weekend of programming and events as part of the continuing celebration of the Gallery's 150th anniversary, will show, for the first time, many works that have entered the Collection during Grachos's tenure.
Establishing strong ties between the Gallery and the broader community has also been a priority for Grachos during his directorship. The ambitious Beyond/In Western New York exhibitions, presented at venues throughout the Buffalo Niagara region in 2005, 2007, and 2010, shone a spotlight on the vibrant and thriving art scene in Western New York, and helped establish the region as an important arts destination.
Michael (Mickey) Klein, chairman of the AMOA-Arthouse Board of Trustees, said of Grachos's appointment, "We are thrilled to have Louis Grachos on board to lead the museum during this very important time in its history. He comes with an outstanding reputation in the art world and extensive relationships with artists, collectors, and museum colleagues. He has a wealth of knowledge and a history of creating exciting exhibitions and programs. I know Louis will be a great asset to the Austin arts community."
AMOA-Arthouse provides rich environments for a wide range of audiences to investigate and experience excellence in modern and contemporary art. The museum accomplishes this through innovative programs and direct access to the creative process. Laguna Gloria, the museum's ancestral home, which includes the restored, 1916 Italianate-style Driscoll villa, has been declared a national treasure
2 of 3
and is listed on City of Austin, State of Texas, and national registries of historic places. The 12-acre site perfectly complements the museum's award-winning and architecturally significant downtown space, The Jones Center. A renowned example of adaptive reuse, the recently renovated facility, designed by architects Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis, was once an early-1900s movie palace, and later a department store, before becoming the museum's downtown site.For more information, please visit the museum's online home at amoa-arthouse.org.

Experts on religious freedom in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada will be meeting for a symposium in Mexico City next month to help bolster their international efforts.
The symposium "Voices: The Lay State and Religious Liberty" will meet at Mexico City's El Hotel Presidente InterContinental from September 25 to 26. There, religious liberty experts will analyze the right to religious liberty as defined in international human rights law and discuss how the right is exercised in Mexico and other countries of the Americas.
According to a press release from organizers, the symposium aims to inspire "nascent voices of religious liberty," particularly in Mexico, and to encourage collaboration between academics and cultural and opinion leaders.
Patrick Kelly, Vice President for Public Policy and spokesman for the Knights of Columbus, said the symposium will create a new network of experts on religious liberty in the Americas.
"We will become, in effect, the Facebook of religious liberty for the Americas," he claimed.
Kevin "Seamus" Hasson, founder and chairman of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said that religious freedom is the "cornerstone of any healthy democracy."
Speakers at the symposium include Supreme Knight Carl Anderson of the Knights of Columbus, and Mary Ann Glendon, a Harvard professor who is a former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See.
The symposium is organized by the Becket Fund under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Mexico. It is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and is free and open to the general public.
The symposium's web site is at http://www.voices-symposium.org

I have heard people using blank planchets of a particular coin, or cardboard cutouts that they labelled, or an extra coin (sometimes with the reverse showing). I would buy a pack of hole-fillers that included various sizes and labels to put in my dansco if they were available. Probably not enough of a market for something like that, but would be kinda of nice to have.

The NYT's Weird Haqqani Silver Lining Story
Today comes the news that "Taliban Fighters Appear Quieted in Afghanistan," which sounds like a major victory. But in order to receive the information in context, you have to know that the US media throw around the word "Taliban" willy-nilly, referring to any insurgent group in Afghanistan with that moniker. Specifically, this article talks about the Haqqani network, which has not conducted any attack in Kabul in several months. So what sounds like a generic headline, "Taliban Fighters Appear Quieted in Afghanistan," actually refers to one Taliban in one part of the country.
The Haqqani network is considered one of the more formidable Taliban operating in Afghanistan, and the Administration doesn't want to trumpet success against them publicly for fear of jinxing the positive news. And there are possible alternative answers – Karzai is paying them not to attack, the Pakistani ISI told them to stand down to get a foothold in future negotiations – other than military force vanquishing the Haqqanis. But if you venture elsewhere in the east, you can tell a story about Taliban infiltration and strengthening. In fact, the same paper touting the Haqqani victory wrote that story yesterday. And the east is where the Haqqani network is thought to have their strongest base.
The point is that, when you have such a disparate network of enemies, you could literally tell a positive or negative story about Afghanistan and the Taliban every day. Kept down to the local level, you can say that ties between the NATO-led ISAF force and the vilagers are growing and the insurgency stalled. Or, you can say that some other strategically insignificant piece of land has proven difficult to leave without consigning the area to Taliban control.
Telling the story in a series of anecdotes is how Vietnam could look like a victory on the reporting sheets of the commanders on the ground without never approaching that. You have to get a bigger picture. And for every Haqqani victory – so tenuous that the military refuses to even call it a victory, and has come up with dozens of alternative explanations for their lack of major attacks in Kabul – there are scores of replacements willing to die to oust the occupiers. And there's no sense that the Haqqanis even want to hold Kabul – their goal is to sustain a presence in their own land. Why would you even consider the import of a small, lonely victory, in that environment? Why would you consider it a victory over a network that can still do this?
On Dec. 19, Haqqani-linked insurgents armed with AK-47s and grenades opened fire on a bus carrying Afghan army trainers. One attacker ran into the bus and blew himself up, killing five officers and wounding nine others.

Attention Republican men and women in Arizona and across America. Change is in the air… and it's great news for our country and the world. Last week the Republican National Committee acted with overwhelming unity to change our party rules to help us take back the White House in 2016. The new rules will give Republican voters more chances than ever before to participate in the nomination process from the the grass roots up.
While Democrats attempt to ordain their nominee Republicans are providing a level playing field for viable candidates to win our nomination. Unlike the democrats, rank and file voters, delegates, state parties and the national party have taken back the process from the liberal media (determined to undermine a GOP nominee) as well as from the political consultancy class.
Friends, the responsibility of the Republican National Committee is not just to nominate a presidential candidate every four years but to actually elect a Republican to the presidency. The historic action taken by Republican leaders last week representing every state and territory may critical to our success in the next election.

I planted a new daylily garden this spring using bareroot daylilies for the first time. I just planted Bubbly last week and today it has developed 4 scapes. I was told that I most likely wouldn't get blooms until next year after the plants establish themselves. Do you think these 4 scapes will actually bloom so quickly after planting, or will they most likely be "duds"?
Could it really be true?
I took a walk around and noticed I have 1 scape forming on each of Eagles on High and Paper Butterfly as well (both planted a couple of weeks ago). Wow, how exciting!
Yes, they'll bloom. I've got some scapes on a few newly planted daylilies too. You got lucky, some plants won't bloom the first year but many do. Some people cut them off so the plant will concentrate on putting down roots instead of blooming. But I've never been able to do that and my plants have done fine.
i dont cut of scapes either and mine have done just fine. Enjoy your blooms.BFG
I don't think I can bring myself to cut the scapes either. I'm really looking forward to seeing the blooms. It seems that the other plants I planted the week or two before are definetly putting down roots as new leaf growth is already happening.
If you let them bloom the first year you can tell if you got the right plant or not!
That's true caitlinsgarden. I've had plants that took 2 years to bloom. That's a long time to wait to see if you have the right plant. So if a new plant is going to bloom, I'm gonna let it.
I have several new ones from Blueridge (Bob Selman) that are putting up healthy scapes. I get to at least see what the flower looks like. Hurray!
One of my orders this year came with all the scapes cut off. Unless they rebloom, I probably won't see them bloom until next year now. I just hate that!
May I ask did you get these by mail order and from where? They look like nice plants!
Sue G
I ordered about 30 different plants (in 2 separate orders) from Robin Cauldron of Early Bird Daylilies. All of her plants were huge, healthy and in great shape. The picture of Bubbly is actually one of the smaller ones since it's more of a minature daylily. I will definitely order from her again at my first choice (if I decide to squeeze more plants in).
I have had many plants come with the scapes cut and it does not bother me. It is hard to ship daylilies with scapes. However, it is nice to get them with scapes or plant them and then have them bloom the first year. I consider that a bonus.
I guess I just wish they would have sent them before they got the scapes.
I don't cut the scapes either, but that seems to be recommended. I will get to see Edna Selman from Bob Selman bloom. None of my established daylilies has scapes yet. So I will get an early bloom!
As a good compromise, some people let the scape bloom one or two flowers and then cut it off. That lets them enjoy their new purchase and (hopefully) find out that they have the correct plant. If you do decide to cut them off, sometimes you can still get blooms out of the cut scape if you put it in water. That depends on how developed the buds were on the scape when it was cut (or broken which is how I know that can work.)
Robin sends great plants, I have ordered from her in the past.
If it is a spring planting, I don't usually cut the scapes off unless it looks like it is struggling. Believe it or not I have some pretty puny plants try to put up scapes.
If it is a fall planting, I cut them off as soon as I find them, so the plant will put it's energy into a stronger root system before winter.
You cannot 'judge' a plant by it's first year blooms, the size, height, color, ect can be very different from what you will get after the plant matures.
Thanks everyone. All of this has been very helpful since I'm new at this.
