Valentine's Mittens
My city is frigid in February, so when Valentine's Day rolls around I don't want to be left out in the cold--not without something bright and cheerful to snuggle up in. That was the impetus behind this hat and mitten set, and I've loved it ever since! The hat keeps my ears from freezing and the flip top mittens solve the problem of swiping my subway card without having to take them off.
You can change the colors and motif if pink hearts aren't your thing. Customize by adding tassels or pom-poms to the hat or a long I-cord to the mittens for when just flipping the tops off isn't enough. Enjoy, and stay warm!

Will a rising federal funds rate hurt the economy?
Amid all the speculation about when the Federal Reserve will begin tapering back from its stimulative, low-interest-rate measures is a persistent subtext: the question of whether the economy has become overly dependent on unnaturally low interest rates.Certainly, the stock market has acted jittery whenever the Fed signals that it may soon raise rates. However, since raising rates is predicated on the economy showing signs of strength, should people really be so fearful of higher rates?To get an historical perspective on this question, MoneyRates.com looked at economic growth and stock market performance during periods when the federal funds rate was rising or falling. The numbers suggest that the economy need not fear rising rates, but that stock market investors perhaps should.Rising interest rates and the economyOver the past 50 years, real GDP growth has averaged 3.11 percent a year. That growth rate has been stronger in times of a rising federal funds rate than in times when the rate has fallen.In calendar years when the federal funds rate has increased, real GDP growth has averaged 4.08 percent. In years when that rate has decreased, real GDP growth has averaged just 2.14 percent. The severity of the decrease also seems linked to the strength of....

Below you will find my in-depth online broker comparison chart. I know that with all of the brokers out there, it can be hard to find which one will fit your needs best. That is why I created this chart. I included everything I thought most people look for when deciding a place to invest their money. I have done personal reviews of many of these sites, and you can click on the 'Read My Review' button within the online broker comparison chart to be taken to my experience with the broker in question. Below the table is a chart with current sign up promotions.
A few notes about the online broker comparison chart:
- While it looks like every option is a stronger choice over Betterment, don't dismiss Betterment so quickly. They are the next generation of online brokers where they do everything for you. All you have to do is set up an account and you are basically done. I highly encourage you to consider them first, then look into the other choices. I personally have an account with Betterment and can't stop singing their praise.
- The rating you see is based on a scale of 1 to 10. I took the information listed in the chart as well as my experience into account. The rating is not based off of each other. So Scottrade doesn't get a 9.0 because it is better than the others. It gets it ranking because of all of its own features and benefits. This is why Betterment score a 9.0 even though you see a lot of red x's.
- If you are looking for an account for stock trading, I would suggest Scottrade above all the others, hands down. I have nothing against the other choices, but Scottrade just makes it so easy and effortless. Plus the fact that their customer service is top-notch doesn't hurt.
- Let me know if you think I need to add anything else to this chart to help you make an informed decision. I want to help you be a successful investor and finding an online broker is the first step. I intentionally kept the list of brokers small because I feel the ones I have listed are "best of breed".
- Lastly, do yourself a favor and open up a free Personal Capital account as well. Doing this will help to confirm you are diversified and that you are not overpaying with regards to management fees.

Current Promotions
Below you will find all of the current promotions for the discount brokers. Note that in many cases, you need to open an account with a certain dollar amount. When you click through, you can read all of the fine print. (Disclosure, some of these links are referral links, meaning that I will get a kickback if you sign up. Thank you in advance to all that sign up through my links.)

Jordan Obita opened the scoring in Saturday's dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton and the on-loan Reading winger is fit to feature once again having departed early with cramp.
Injury-time goal hero Matt Smith and club captain Dean Furman could push for starts following their positive contributions from the bench, and Philliskirk's desire to freshen up his XI may also bring veteran defender Cliff Byrne into contention.
Left-sided midfield duo Youssouf M'Changama and Cristian Montano remain sidelined with respective knee and thigh injuries.
Latics are unbeaten in two outings under Philliskirk, having beaten MK Dons 3-1 in their last league encounter.

Generic Name: amiloride (a-MILL-oh-ride)
Brand Name: Midamor
Amiloride may cause high blood potassium levels that can be fatal if not corrected. High blood potassium levels occur more commonly in patients with kidney problems, diabetes, elderly patients, those who are severely ill, or patients who are not taking an agent used to increase excretion of potassium. If you develop muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat, notify your doctor immediately.
Amiloride is used for:
Preventing development of low blood potassium or helping to restore normal blood potassium in patients with high blood pressure or heart failure. It is usually used with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Amiloride is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by making the kidneys eliminate sodium (salt) and water from the body while retaining potassium.
Do NOT use amiloride if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in amiloride
- you are taking potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, aldosterone, triamterene)
- you are unable to urinate
- you have high blood potassium levels or kidney problems due to diabetes or other severe kidney disease
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using amiloride:
Some medical conditions may interact with amiloride. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have heart problems, diabetes, kidney damage caused by diabetes, liver or kidney problems, low blood sodium levels, or a high acidity of body fluids, or you are dehydrated
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with amiloride. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), angiotensin II receptor antagonists (eg, valsartan), cyclosporine, other potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, aldosterone, triamterene) or potassium supplements because high blood potassium levels may occur and cause listlessness, confusion, abnormal skin sensations of the arms and legs, heaviness of the limbs, slow or irregular heartbeat, or stopping of the heart
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, indomethacin) because they may decrease amiloride's effectiveness and increase the risk of kidney problems and high blood potassium levels
- Lithium or quinidine because the risk of their side effects and toxicity may be increased by amiloride
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if amiloride may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use amiloride:
Use amiloride as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take amiloride by mouth with food.
- Amiloride may increase the amount of urine or cause you to urinate more often when you first start taking it. To keep this from disturbing your sleep, try to take your dose before 6 pm.
- If you miss a dose of amiloride, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use amiloride.
Important safety information:
- Amiloride may cause drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use amiloride with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Check with your doctor before you use a salt substitute or a product that has potassium in it.
- Lab tests, including electrolyte levels and blood pressure monitoring, may be performed while you use amiloride. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use amiloride with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Amiloride should not be used in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using amiloride while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking amiloride.
Possible side effects of amiloride:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Diarrhea; headache; loss of appetite; nausea; weakness.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); dry mouth; excessive thirst; slowed heart rate; unusual muscle weakness; unusual tiredness; vomiting.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:

It's not easy sweeping a team. The Brewers found that out last night against the Cardinals, dropping the third game in the series 7-3. The Cardinals took the season series 8-7. It's been eight years since the Brew took a season series against the red birds.
With last night's loss, the Brewers remain two games behind the Cubs with four games left in the regular season. The Brew had a golden opportunity to climb to within one game with the Cubs losing another game to the pesky Marlins.
Can the Crew make up two games on the Cubs with four games left? I think so. That said, last night was a little disconcerting......to say the least.
How can Ned Yost beam Pujols on purpose, putting a runner on base down 3-2 in the 8th inning? Completely moronic! Why bother trying to send Jerk Larussa a message? Yes, "Drunk" Larussa threw at Prince earlier in the game. It was wrong and it is important for players to know that their manager has their back and will do what he can to protect his players.
But was it appropriate to retaliate at such an important time in the game? I think not! Send a message by winning a very important game, Ned. If you want to get into a pissing match with Larussa, meet him outside the clubhouse after the game.
I wouldn't have had a problem sending a message in a 7-1 game. Don't give a team a base when losing by one run late in the game. Inexcuseable!!
And now..........this Derrick Turnbow re-occuring problem. First, why would you bring in Turnbow with a runner on base? How often has that worked out for the Crew? Second, why would you leave Turnbow in the game when he just walked his second straight batter.....loading the bases? Do Ned and company actually think that Derrick can turn things around on the mound when he is struggling with his control? How many times do they have to be proved wrong? Obviously, far too many!
Why not bring in Cordero to get the last out in the 8th? Hmmmmmmmmmm. Seems like a reasonable question to me.
People often ask me......Hey, Brickyard. Why are you so hard on Yost? Isn't it obvious? He gets out managed far too often. I just hope the Brewer brass comes to their senses and makes this Ned's last year as manger. I think that he is a horrible game manager. I can't comment on how he handles his players and what he's like in the clubhouse. For all I know he very well might be doing a good job getting his players ready to play and might be a good fit for this young club. These are important attributes of a good manager. As a field general, Yost is grossly lacking.
Hey, Brewer fans........ This season if far from over. The Crew still has a shot. They have to take care of business against the Padres and need some help from the Marlins and Reds. Good things can still happen, folks.
Get out to Miller Park this weekend and help your Milwaukee Brewers beat up on the Padres. Good luck on the Playoff run, Brew!!
What say you?
Milwaukee Brewers fans share their views, Brewers tickets, news, and baseball notes.

The Brewers Take Series 2-1 Against Cards; Lose Final Game With Controversial Plunk
1 comment:
- Majr Scales said...
I'm a cardinal fan but was ready to root for the Brewers to make the playoffs over the Cubs. But your manager hurt your team's chances of making the playoffs with deliberately hitting Pujols. I won't defend LaRussa but I guarantee that if the roles were reversed he would have made WINNING the game more important than getting even. Retaliation is a part of the game (even Albert knew it was coming) however sometimes you have to wait until the next season sometimes. Bad move Ned, hope you don't miss the playoffs by one game . . .

Rangers earn medals in 11 entries
Forest Lake placed fourth at a highly competitive state synchronized swimming meet last Thursday and Friday at the University of Minnesota.
"During the meet I was thinking the whole time that we could get anywhere from second to fifth," said coach Laura Davison. "There was a lot of talent and I don't think that second through fifth place has ever been that close."
The meet was Wayzata's time to shine, as the Trojans won by over 100 points. Stillwater placed second with 50 points, while Edina had 43 and Forest Lake 37. St. Louis Park took fifth with 34. The Rangers placed third in 2010 and 2011.
Eleven Ranger entries medaled by placing in the top seven. The top finish came from the long trio of Stephanie Brenk, Lindsey Crohn and Andrea Dunrud. They placed second with a score of 61.4.
Dunrud, an eighth-grader, also was fourth in the long figures competition, sixth in extended figures and took third for her long solo (64.0).
Forest Lake's top extended team placed third with 65.3 points. Members include Dunrud, Crohn, Katherine Anderson, Resa Brockman, Rachel Chatwin, Brooke Ewert, Kirsten Sewall and Morgan Sperry.
The team posted three fourth-place finishes: the long duet by Chatwin and Ewert scored 62.4, the extended duet by Anderson and Sperry scored 65.1, and the extended trio of Brockman, Ewert and Sperry scored 64.2.
The long team of Alexis Cogar, Jessica Dison, Bear Dreher, Haley Schoonover, Jordan Templeton, Stephanie Vos, Catherine Ziegelski placed fifth with a score of 58.7.
Anderson placed seventh for her extended solo (63.6), while Ewert took seventh in long figures.
Davison expects improvement next season because the short division competitors will be more experienced, but she will lose this class of seven seniors. They are: Anderson, Brockman, Ewert, Sewall, Sperry, Lauren Cooley and Alissa Ralph.
"It will be very, very hard to see them go," Davison said. "Five of them are on the extended team and have been for three years now. It's definitely a big loss."

This week Bert shows us how to create a pattern brush that will be used to make a gold tassel for a theater curtain.
He begins by using the Pen tool to draw a bent line, which he then duplicates and shifts up to make a strand within the braid. Next, he duplicates that form, flips it vertically, and lays it over the first strand to create the braid. To give the stands dimension, he adds a bevel and emboss.
The next step is to get the top strand to wrap over the lower strand on the right side, creating the twist, so he masks out just that section and adds some additional shadows. The center portion of the design will become the pattern so Bert selects just that area and chooses "define pattern" to create the brush he'll use to make the tassel in next week's video.
Watch this week's video to get started on your design, and be sure to check back next week for another installment of Pixel Playground, in which Bert will take us through the second stage of creating a rising curtain in a theater.

Andrew Carleton, a professor of geography and a climatologist at Penn State University, warned of smaller, more concentrated zones of elevated temperatures called urban heat islands that contain threats all their own.
"[U]rban areas are becoming places where increasing numbers of people are moving to. The areas are getting bigger, creating an urban heat island effect," he told CBS Houston. "The buildings and streets trap heat, which contributes to heat waves in urban areas. Mortality rates could particularly increase in [those] areas."
|Let the bodies hit the floor...
Wait, we're just talking about a metaphor, an urban area as an island. Since "urban" is synonymous with minority and Black in American lexicon, anytime meteorologists start predicting heat waves for cities with vibrant, diverse populations like New York City, Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Memphis, Milwaukee, or Philadelphia, the great fear is that the risk of a "crime wave" rises with each uptick in the Fahrenheit temperature.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on June 20 that the rise in temperature will be accompanied with an increase in crime:
The heat is back, and so are concerns about violent crime in the region's urban neighborhoods.Wait a second: weren't all those "urban riots" of the 1960s just Black people engaging in a low-level civil war, demanding that their list of grievances be met or else they'd burn cities like Detroit, Watts, Newark, Washington D.C., Cleveland, etc., to the ground?
From the minute it arrives officially at 7:09 p.m. Wednesday, summer will be cooking - flaring up with record-threatening heat the next few days, maybe making a run at 100 on Thursday.
Summer may be vacation time for most people, but for police in high-crime areas, it's the hot time.
Research in recent years has affirmed that the connection between heat and violent crime is more than lore. Even screening out other factors such as economic conditions, age, and education levels, heat, in itself, has been shown to be a significant contributor to explosive behavior.
In the tinderbox neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Camden, and Chester, where the summer sun soaks into the streets and sidewalks - and the human body - intense heat can be the match that lights the fuse.
At least one study warns that the trend toward hotter summers could brew trouble in the nation's urban areas.
"The discomfort caused by the heat is the best explanation for summer increases in violence," said Craig A. Anderson, psychologist at Iowa State University.
The correlation between increasing temperatures and crimes of aggression is remarkably clean, said Scott Sheridan, a Kent State University researcher who led a major study of crime in Cleveland. "You end up with an almost perfect line," he said.
Based on an Inquirer analysis of national FBI Uniform Crime Statistics, summer is the busiest season for violent crimes, with rates almost 20 percent higher than in winter.
All the urban rioting of the 1960s, including in Philadelphia, occurred in summer.
Wasn't Detroit, once turned over to Black people (and their viceroy of destruction, Coleman Young) in 1973, and basically set on "pre-heat" -- considering that 21,000 people have been murdered there since?
Is there a link between violent crime rising and temperature increases? Perhaps. But is there a study that looks at increases in only the Black crime rate and violent crime (once the heat gets turned up to "bake" in these Urban Heat Islands?), considering that in "urban" areas the violent crime tends to be primarily monopolized by Black people? Or, in the case of Chicago and New York City, Hispanics too.
All things in life are relative: what would happen if you switched the population of Portland (the only people committing crimes there tend to be the less than 10 percent of the city that checks "African America" on U.S. Census form) with Philadelphia's? Would the Philadelphia Inquirer be publishing stories warning about the fear of violent crime rising with the heat? Or would the paper lament that in this thought-experiment, Philadelphia was "in a changing, Philly remains overwhelmingly white."
Kinda like Austin, Minneapolis, Seattle, or Denver; all boasting populations that are less than 10 percent Black (though in the case of Minneapolis and Denver, those Black populations do their best to monopolize all the crime, cold or warm weather be damned).
Wired Magazine and The Atlantic have both published stories discussing the link between violent crime rates rising with rises in the temperature (perhaps this is the reason so many Disingenuous White Liberals fear Global Warming -- the reality of racial differences in impulse control will become to obvious and frequent to censor with the ice caps melting...), but the simple answer is this: it depends on what city and which population within that city you are talking about.
Violent crime committed by Black people in Philadelphia, Chicago, Newark, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Washington D.C., and Baltimore might increase, but it's already at astronomically high rates (compared to the white population) that it's hard to notice a difference.
But cities that are "overwhelmingly" white (does any newspaper ever say Detroit is "suffocatingly" Black... because they should) don't have the same problem with increases in temperature.
It's just an excuse to go outside, play some corn hole and dredge up the ol' Slip 'N" Slide or hit the pool and show off your latest jump from the diving board.
Urban Heat Islands are only a threat when the urban area is occupied by The Blacks, who help perpetuate the very stereotypes that keep white people from moving into the city and gentrifying it (thereby bringing back businesses, safe parks, and quality schools in the process).

I'm hard pressed to find a justification for this EP re-issue of the shock tart pop outfit from Portland, Oregon, All Girl Summer Fun Band. Whereas some band's back catalogue's shed light on the evolution of their sound or perhaps help us rediscover a treasure unfairly lost in the perpetual band flood, this re-issue only serves to undermine AGSFB's current efforts.
I love indie pop, though I frequently waver on just how cute I like it to be. The paint bucket production of this EP brings a glaring light onto the weaknesses of this musical style. Whereas AGSFB songs like "Later Operator" have given me several moments of sucker in mouth fun, the tracks on this EP dissolve my teeth with vocals so cutesy that they actually sound like women infantalizing themselves rather than just women with fey, sweet, broken harmonies. Garage twee? With the production more bedroom four track than their other two full lengths, the bad car stereo sing along range painfully tears through note after note, the sonic equivalent of missing every other stair. It's so hard to stomach at times that I have to restrain my inner Simon Cowell, using instead my wincing, phoney-smiled inner Paula Abdul. She has little to say here.
All Girl Summer Fun Band
Summer of '98 EP
(Magic Marker)
US: 17 Jun 2003
UK: Available as import
The album's cover art portrays the band members as cartoons, in varying forms of hipster catholic reformatory school girl dress, barrettes strategically placed for maximum junior highing. "Charm Bracelet" actually sounds like it's made by 12-year-olds, with vocals distorted by what could be a Jem karaoke machine, and lyrics that celebrate the joys of, you guessed it, charm bracelets. "Grass Skirt" is about a grass skirt, which makes their songwriting style somewhere along the lines of riding in a cart pointing at stuff and then building a few lyrics around the mantra of the object. They've since thankfully surpassed this creative dearth, but it is sorely over-represented on this outing. Passed around in Algebra, these songs might carry some cache of cool that escapes me, but here they just create this awkward moment of childishness that I don't know what to do with. I feel like Martin Bashir with Michael Jackson trying to get me to climb a tree during his documentary interview. The fact is that while these sound like children's songs, they aren't for children or even celebrating spontaneous flashes of freedom that we seek out as adults to preserve the positive aspects of our child minds. These songs are just a bunch of adult women sounding like children. Make of that what you will.
It's very possible that I should just take this for what it is and dislike it outright without uncharitable speculations or further diminishments that aren't necessary to giving you an idea of what the record is like. After all, they obviously want to make this sort of sugary, coy, dimples and lip gloss pop music and they certainly make no claims or pretensions to be doing otherwise. Still, even on their own terms I can't help but believe they look back and shudder at their first forays into making the album equivalent of Fun Dip. It's understandable to want to reclaim the simple pleasures of being younger, where kissing boys and collecting stickers seemed like the sum total of existence, but as an aesthetic choice taken too far, it treads treacherously close to novelty band territory. All Girl Summer Fun Band have done a lot better than this, matured their sound, and written quite a few happy little nugs that don't cave in your cheekbones from saccharine excess. I would definitely recommend checking out their most recent albums and resisting the urge, assuming that you have it, to be a completist.

This latest member in the exceptional Bloomerang series of fragrant, reblooming Lilacs is a taller shrub (up to 6' tall), with lar...ge flower clusters arrayed luxuriantly on dense branches. Deep purple buds and lavender-blue florets create a striking spring color show followed by intermittent late summer displays. Plant this one in full sun near a porch, deck, or walkway to best enjoy the perfume. A Proven Winners/Color Choice variety. 'SMSJBP7' PP 26,549 Bloomerang forms a bushy plant with small leaves. Its bloodline includes four different Lilac species (it's a hybrid of Syringa patula x macrophylla x meyeri x juliana). Plants bloom heavily in the spring, take a resting period, and then start up again in mid-summer and continue until cold weather. The second period of bloom is not as full as that in the spring, but still showy. Plants are best pruned right after the spring bloom, as this creates a fuller shrub with more branches and thus more flowers. Every stem can produce flowers in summer. Bloomerang is mildew resistant, too. Lilacs are among the best-known, classic spring-flowering shrubs. For generations of reliable bloom and sweet fragrance, generally before Memorial Day, these sturdy shrubs are in a class by themselves. Most Lilacs prefer full sun and neutral to slightly alkaline soil.Hardiness Zone:4,5,6,7,7S,7W,8,8W Blooms In:August July June May September Spacing:4-7' Height:6' Ships as:ONE GALLON POT read more
This magnificent variety produces a mound of very dark foliage, which serves as a dramatic backdrop for its eye-catching blooms. T...he soft pink flowers are quite large, up to 8″ across, and have contrasting red eyes. Plant this hummingbird magnet in a special spot where you can appreciate the blossoms up close. Plants are deer resistant, too. PP 27,901 Hibiscus is a huge genus of more than 200 species, practically all native to tropical areas. If you're the type who goes for minuscule flowers, then this is not a genus for you. The plants produce big bright flowers that appear endlessly starting in high summer. Give them moist, well-drained soil and plenty of heat and sun. Stems will die down to the ground over winter in colder climates.

The flower buds on this colorful selection explode into 12–15″ panicles of flowers that open creamy white but gradually darken to ...pink before becoming a rich red in fall with the cooler night temperatures. These compact, award-winning plants have sturdy, reddish brown stems that make them ideal for cut flower arrangements. Showstopping in the mixed border or as a specimen planting. A First Editions variety. 'Rendia' PP 24,667 Because Panicle Hydrangeas bloom on new growth, they typically flower normally even if the twigs have been killed back by frost. Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot; some early afternoon shade is beneficial in hot southern regions. Prune in late winter or early spring. Hydrangea is a valuable genus of some 100 species of shrubs and vines grown for their large and very showy flower heads. Hydrangeas are at their best in summer and fall—a quiet time for most woody plants—and are worth having for that reason alone. For more information on Hydrangea care, click Growing Guide.Hardiness Zone:4,5,6,7,8,8S,8W Blooms In:August July September Spacing:3-4' Height:4-5' Ships as:ONE GALLON POT read more
Here are 3 Peonies whose beauty is matched by their perfume. Not all Peonies are fragrant, but these have heady scents that will c...atch your attention across the border or across the room. 'Festiva Maxima' is a classic, with big, blowsy blooms that are white with crimson flecks, and a powerful scent. 'Eden's Perfume' produces delightfully fragrant, double, bright pink flowers up to 7″ across. 'Raspberry Sundae' has cream petals suffused with a raspberry shade, and a sweet perfume. All 3 varieties are low maintenance, high performance plants. One of each, bareroot, labeled. There isn't a more rewarding garden flower than the herbaceous Peony, and a garden without these plants is a sorry thing indeed. The flowers range from exquisitely delicate singles to large and lush doubles and come in shades ranging from pure white to the deepest, darkest red. This extravagant display is produced in early June, regardless of weather. Peonies have no natural enemies, no exacting cultural requirements beyond full sun and neutral to slightly sweet soil, and they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Finally, Peonies make superior cut flowers, lasting more than a week if cut in full bud. We ship large roots with 3–5 eyes that are fresh from the growing fields. While a newly planted Peony seldom makes a first-class show in its first season, these vigorous plants will reach the top of their form in their second or third year. Southern gardeners should seek out our early bloomers and provide afternoon shade. For information on the growing and care of Peonies, click Growing Guide.Hardiness Zone:3,4,5,6,7,7S,7W,8,8W Blooms In:June Spacing:24" Height:2-3' Ships as:BAREROOT read more
Light up your spring landscape with some of the world's best Daffodils. This exclusive mix includes 25 top-size bulbs of White Flo...wer Farm's The Works, a superb blend of Daffodils designed to provide a remarkable range of colors, fragrance, and bloom times. In addition, there are 5 bulbs each of 5 different Daffodil varieties widely considered to be the very best: 'Marieke,' a classic yellow Trumpet; 'Tahiti,' a soft yellow Double with orange accents; 'Thalia,' a pure white Triandrus heirloom; Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus, a fragrant Pheasant's Eye Daffodil; and 'Pink Charm,' a Large-cup with pink coronas. These rugged, carefree bulbs are never touched by deer and will multiply over the years, producing an abundance of cheerful blooms. For color, performance, and variety, you cannot ask for a more stunning show. 50 bulbs total, not labeled. Large, bright Narcissus blooms are for many gardeners the first visible signs of spring. These vigorous, long-lived bulbs thrive joyously in sunny, well-drained places, are shunned by hungry deer and voles, and will thrive and multiply with little care on your part, creating a glorious horticultural legacy.

Remember the guy who illegally took a tax break on a house in DC? He's the one who had a slew of young men registered to vote at his home address… again, illegally! It's so excited to see a US congressman fall, um, in love.
Rep. Patrick McHenry: Engaged!
"POLITICO has learned that there's some love in the House: Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) got engaged.
The 33-year-old congressman got engaged to Giulia Cangiano over the weekend in the tiny, cute and romantic spot of St. Michaels. Cangiano, who has been dating McHenry for seven months, is a senior economist at the Government Accountability Office, and the two met through mutual friends, McHenry's spokesman said.
Ironically, Cangiano grew up in Massachusetts and was a constituent of McHenry nemesis Rep. Barney Frank. Naturally, the two will live in North Carolina.
'Patrick and Giulia could not be happier and thank everyone for their well wishes,' McHenry's spokesman said."
Hey Pat… Congratulations! And you too, Giulia!!!

Ask The Headhunter: How (not) to use a resume
Nick Corcodilos started headhunting in Silicon Valley in 1979, and has answered over 30,000 questions from the Ask The Headhunter community over the past decade.
In this special Making Sense edition of Ask The Headhunter, Nick shares insider advice and contrarian methods about winning and keeping the right job, on one condition: that you, dear Making Sense reader, send Nick your questions about your personal challenges with job hunting, interviewing, networking, resumes, job boards, or salary negotiations. No guarantees — just a promise to do his best to offer useful advice.
Question: I need a template for a two-page resume that will help me get in the door at a company I want to approach. Can you help?
Nick Corcodilos: Resumes are a weak, passive way to get in the door (or to represent yourself). Using a template or any kind of boilerplate to demonstrate your value to a company is the worst thing you can do to yourself when job hunting.
You're supposed to be uniquely qualified so the company will choose you instead of some cookie-cutter drone — right? Do you really want a "template?" Do you really want a new job by reciting old history? (See "Don't lead with your past.")
But you asked, so if you insist on distracting yourself with resumes, I'm going to offer you my suggestions. If you're going to use a resume, here are two things to think about. Understanding these points might help you see the distinction between the resume itself and what's behind a truly effective resume. (In the end, this distinction should reveal to you why you don't really need a resume at all.)
Talk First
First, have a substantive discussion with the person you plan to give your resume to. That is, the manager must already know you and you must know the specific needs of the manager. So, the person you give the resume to should be the hiring authority in the company you want to work for — not someone in HR and not some unknown contact. Your initial personal contact with the manager prepares you to produce a relevant resume. (Does that sound backwards? It's not. Read on.)
Ask The Headhunter: How to Walk out of an Abusive Job Interview
Tailor to Fit
Second, the resume should accomplish one thing: Show how you're going to solve that manager's problems. That's a tall order. I'll bet you've never seen a resume that does that. Few managers have, either. That's why most of the hires they make don't come from resumes but from truly substantive personal contacts.
The resume needs to be tailored to the specific employer and job. That's why job hunting isn't easy — and it's why contact with the employer is so important. Obviously, we're no longer talking about resumes as a "marketing tool" but as a tool to prove you can do a specific job. This essentially voids your question and puts us into a different ball game. I never said I'd support the mindless use of a resume, just that I'd give you my suggestions.
Now that we're done with the two things you must take into account about using resumes, let's take the step that changes everything.
Tailor to Fit Exactly
When you write the resume, sit down and describe as best you can how you're going to help the specific employer, and do your best to provide proof that you can pull it off. That's hard to do in writing. There is no boilerplate (or template) that's good enough because every person and every employer and every job is unique. Writing such a resume is hard work, and there's no way around it. If it were easy, every resume would produce an interview, but we know that doesn't happen.
(Have I talked you out of it yet? Maybe I've talked you into a whole new way of looking at job hunting without resumes. What I'm describing is not a resume about you. It's a business plan for a specific job!)
A resume can't answer questions (especially if it's muffled under the weight of 5,000 other resumes sitting on top of it). And a smart manager will be full of questions. This is why I don't like resumes as a job hunting tool. (See The truth about resumes.) I'd rather go straight to the hiring manager and have a talk with him — but only after I've done my research so I can demonstrate how I'm going to bring profit to his bottom line.
Next week, we'll discuss how writing a business plan can make a resume totally unnecessary.
Readers: Do you always use a resume to get in the door? Give us some examples of other ways you get an employer's attention!
