Bonds of Beauty: Two gardens linked by love
This is the story of two terrific gardens with one connecting theme – the love, trust and respect of a mother and daughter for each other.
Ellen de Man is the mom. She came from Holland in the 1960s and has built a beautiful formal garden, composed mainly of hydrangeas, around her home in West Vancouver.
Monique Wilberg is Ellen's daughter and with her mom's help, she has built an equally beautiful garden, but with a more edgy, contemporary style, in North Vancouver.
It is, however, the invisible, third element that links these two beautiful landscapes and makes them special – the loving relationship of mutual trust and cooperation between mother and daughter that permits a free and creative exchange of ideas and generous sharing of knowledge.
When Wilberg came to build a garden around the sleek lines of her new home, designed by Vancouver architect Bill Fisher, in North Vancouver, she immediately looked to her mom for help and advice.
De Man came up with a plant list and Wilberg gave it her seal of approval on the spot.
For instance, de Man suggested growing Paul's Himalayan Musk, a vigorous rambling rose, into a tree, just as she had done in two places in her own garden, and Wilberg agreed.
De Man recommended confident use of clipped boxwood, as well as a closely planted row of laburnum trees under-scored with purple alliums as well as putting in large drifts of perennials. Wilberg loved the idea.
De Man pointed out the reliable characteristics of ornamental grasses, such as the golden Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola') and variegated Japanese sedge (Carex 'Ice Dance') and Wilberg used them in bold strokes around her garden.
And later this year, mother and daughter will fly to London to buy a unique sculptural silver water feature made by international designer David Harber.
De Man first saw it at the Chelsea Flower Show in May and thought it would look perfect in the small courtyard at the front of Wilberg's home.
A quick look at the piece on Harber's website and Wilberg loved it, too. Now they will travel together to pick it up which will be an adventure itself.
Perhaps it sounds as if Wilberg does whatever her mom tells her. But it's not like that. It is not mindless obedience, but a case of consideration and respect, trust and admiration that ultimately translates into creativity and success.
It's a beautiful thing to see in action, especially when the outcome of all this positive interaction is the development and evolution of a beautiful garden that somehow corresponds perfectly to the life and energy of the relationship that produced it.
What does Wilberg have to say about her mom's influence?
"The great thing about my Mom is that she gives me a slew of options and then lets me decide. She is extremely talented from a design point of view and that is something I can respect.
"She has had a profound influence on the structure of my garden in particular. She introduced me to top Dutch landscapers, such as Piet Oudolf, and she has always tilted me in the direction of using large gestures of perennials to give the garden a strong theme and solid anchor."
As for de Man, she describes her daughter's garden as "sensational" and "stunning", and adds that she was once standing alone, looking at it one day when the sun came out and "I got goosebumps, it was so beautiful."
She feels honoured to have been able to play a role in her daughter's garden decision-making, but she is equally aware that it has been a privilege, one that came from having earned her respect and trust over many years.
There is one feature in Wilberg's garden that neither she nor her mom planned.
To the left of the driveway, there are a dozen sticks with garden gloves on top. At first glance, it would be easy to mistake this for a quirky art installation, but no, it is actually the neighbourhood garden glove recovery station.
Wilberg's cat, Bert, an adventurous Siamese, goes out every night and steals garden gloves from neighbour's yards and porches.
It has become such a regular occurrence that Wilberg decided it was easier to place the gloves on the bamboo canes where neighbours can come at their convenience and reclaim them.
Nevertheless, the gloves-on-sticks are in a way strikingly pertinent art — a statement of loss and recovery on an environmental theme.
De Man has no glove-stealing cats in her garden, but she does have lots of hydrangeas – at least 36 different kinds, mostly whites and blues with the odd pink cultivar in a container.
As a girl growing up in The Hague in Holland, she remembers her mother telling her grandmother that she (grandma) needed to get rid of her hydrangeas. "They were considered funeral flowers at the time, but my grandmother refused to part with them. I think her influence has stayed with me."
From years of gardening, de Man has learned the value of repetitive planting as a way of creating natural rhythms of colour and texture. She has also succeeded at getting the right plant in the right place more often than not.
In fact, her garden is almost a textbook example of this basic garden principle with shrubs such as aucuba and sarcococca used along with brunnera, hostas and Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola) in the shade while spirea, rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart') viburnum and lilacs occupy sunnier spots.
She also (partly because of her Dutch background) loves neatly clipped hedges and shapely-pruned evergreens.
Stepping through her black wooden arbour-gate entrance into the front garden, two elegant circles of deftly trimmed boxwood immediately spring into view with lavender packed in the centres. These circles are separated by a charming slate path that curl around and leads to the front door.
In the back yard, this idea of a circle of low-clipped boxwood is repeated in a square of lawn. This circle is larger than the ones at the front and stuffed with billowy blue nepeta.
Elsewhere, there are crisply clipped rows of skimmia and hedges of bridal wreath spirea, as well as more boxwood (variegated and plain green) grown in containers and snipped into perfectly round balls or graceful cone-shapes.
Hydrangeas provide the key connecting agent through the garden. They flower at different times because of slight differences in their locations and they offering long-lasting summer colour as well as a pleasing foliage contrast to the dark, denser evergreens.
Bright flashes of blue and white are added by lush stands of monkshood and campanula while a Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' pumps a bright splash of yellow foliage to draw the eye to the bottom of the garden where two Viburnum mariesii shrubs are the stars of the show in spring producing spectacular layers of white flowers.
—- In a side border, coral bark maples complement the pink flowers of spirea in sunny spots while a lanky Japanese snowbell tree is a surprise find in a shady Italian "bosco-like" woodland patch.
Now in her 70s, de Man gets help four hours a week from Sally McDermott. De Man's husband, Jan, is also a constant worker in the garden, responsible for the terracing of a slope on east side of the garden with boulders found on the site.
At Wilberg's garden, a short drive away in North Vancouver, the plant selection is identical in parts with blocks of Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' and Stachys byzantina being used with curves of lavender and carpeting persicaria.
In a grouping of white containers, Carex 'Ice Dance' was another of her mom's recommendations, a grass de Man has combined impressively with variegated Brunnera 'Jack Frost' in her own garden.
In Wilberg's front yard, the straight lines of the attractive stone walls, designed by Tyler Mosher, of Whistler, have been softened by circles of clipped box, an inspired design by Ruth Olde, of Blasig Landscape Design, who incorporated all of de Man's plant suggestions into her plan.
An eye-catching grid-patterned installation of glass and stainless steel provides artistic relief being set against the row of laburnums. These trees are all under-planted with the large globes of Allium giganteum.
In the back yard, beyond the infinity swimming pool, the garden slips down into a series of terraces, all lavishly planted with red 'Vigorosa' roses, kniphofia, lavender, phlomis and spirea.
There is also a golden robinia here, just as there is in de Man's backyard.
Where there was once a jungle of blackberry, there is now a colourful six-layered terraced garden, with an arching satellite-like sculptural work by Chris Cooney at the top.
Next to the shimmering pool, a large black pot has been filled with miscanthus grass and surrounded by the silver foliage of lamb's ears and flanked by the bright yellow flowers of Jerusalem sage (Phlomis russeliana).
At the end of the day, both mother and daughter have succeeded in building two gardens of outstanding beauty.
But the creative collaboration between the two women is an achievement, too, and an example of how knowledge, wisdom and good taste can be passed from one generation to another when there is respect, flexibility and kindness … as well as a shared love for transcendent beauty in the form of a garden.

In-Progress At Talladega: Trackside On SPEED (7 PM)
Fans have been asking if they can comment on some of the happenings on the Trackside program on SPEED. This show has become a hit because of the interaction of host Steve Byrnes and his crew of Larry McReynolds, Jeff Hammond, and Elliott Sadler.

Trackside is my favorite show!! I LOVE Elliott Sadler and this happens to be the only time I get to see him on TV. The TV commentators and cameras vary rarely show him or interview him before the races, so I love the show. My favorite show was when they had Marcos Ambrose. Elliott and the guys were laughing so hard he had tears running down his face. It's great to see him happy and laughing. I was sad that he was not on the Richmond show, but I know he had tons of family and friends with him so I can totally understand his reason for not wanting to be on the show. I just hope that he returns to Trackside next year too!!!

This show is just plain FUN.
Folks who gripe they don't like this show should just SKIP IT!
I am sorry I missed the Ambrose show!
Elliott has really fit in well to the group compared to when he first came on.
And I like him better cleanly shaven. Course that's his business but it shows off his good looks better. and his personality is adorable. I love the whole gang on here.
I am glad I love most all the shows on SPEED.
On some boards they CHASTISE folks who watch extraneous shows and not just the races?!!? WTH?
I like to hear about everything and read as much as possible.
That's why I like this blog as John does his darndest to keep out the spoilsports.
Thanks JD for starting this site and opening it up more often.

I don't like Rutledge ... WHY was he even hired by SPEED??
I wish they would turn the stage around so that the show hosts & guests are facing the crowd (instead of having their backs to the crowd which is rude & dangerous, especially with the show outside the track) ... Plus, they need to dump the mic that's in the crowd as it makes it hard to hear the hosts & guests ...
I don't like Kvapil ... Why is he getting a 3rd shot at Cup?? He wrecked for Penske & drove Cal Wells out of busines and TIDE out of NASCAR ... He's only had success because of Mike Beam & the Mark Martin-raced trucks ...

I really love watching all the nascar shows on SPEED. You can go to Speedtv.com and always know what is going to be on and what times. I have one heck of a time trying to get the listings for ESPN, ABC, TNT, etc. Speed is the best. I really wish they could show all the practices & qualifying and just let ESPN2/TNT/ABC do the races (until the contract is up) then give it all to Speed. Haha Plus, they usually re-air practice & qualifying later. I love to watch and listen to Steve Byrnes & Rutledge. They are a hoot. I met them last year in Richmond (after Elliott's Barn Party) and this year in Chicago. They bring a fresh air to Nascar.
Last weeks Trackside was pretty hilarious too. Elliott had the raccoon hat on, then gave it to Larry Mac and they were just rolling with laughter. I was cracking up!!
Has anyone heard if Elliott and some other drivers went to the S.Carolina and Kentucky football game last night? I watched the whole thing and didn't see any of them. But Hermie said today that he was on the sidelines. Hmmm Maybe they'll mention it or show it tomorrow during the 'Countdown to Green'. I hope.
Oh yea, Wendy Venterini is pretty cool too!! I miss Krista Voda. She was pretty awesome too. Both of those gals know what they are talking about when they talk to the drivers. I don't get that when I watch the ESPN ladies.

usually I just find Rutledge silly but thought tonight he was fun with pronouncing peoples names. He had some good fan fodder. Besides, I hear Rutledge,the person is very nice when you meet him. But I understand his Race Day segments can be dragged out and silly.
I also wan't to know, WHY DON't the guys on the show FACE THE CROWD? I have never EVER heard the reasoning for that. If I wanted to see the gang and driver interviewed, who wants to look at their backs!?
AND they need to be better mic'd indeed with rowdy crowds at night. Sometimes I have to turn on the close captioning to hear. I know folks that go to the races love the SPEED SHOWS but the sound at home is bad. There have also been times the shows were so loud, I just turned it off. Good show, great idea, but needs 'sound and CROWD control'
Just once, I would like somebody to tell us why we have to watch the moving signs and folks jumping up and down in the background.

Think of the SPEED stage show's as "NASCAR Gameday" like ESPN's "College Gameday". I for one get a kick out of the signs and crowd "interaction" during both shows.
Agree that the talent audio situation needs to be resolved...Gameday seems to have it knocked down with the mics and processors they use. The Senheiser headsets (run from $250 to $400 depending on where you get them) do a great job of outside noise cancelling...but it's the mixing board-op's job to get the levels on any "crowd" mics they use...that would help a lot.
Think also the seperation from the stage for Gameday is much farther than what's used by SPEED. Then again, much less space to work with outside tracks for the SPEED crew than Gameday, which gets primo spots for their stuff.

I actually think the whole RaceDay show is way too dragged out. I say start the darn race earlier!! Besides, the other network overlaps Speed by an hour which really sucks. I don't know why Nascar would approve to have 2 shows on at the same time? Stupid call Nascar!!!
I am not sure why they decided to turn the backs on us during all the stage shows, but I'm assuming so the fans can be seen on TV. When I was at the Chicagoland Trackside this year, I couldn't hear hardly anything the guys were saying. Good thing I taped it so I could watch it when I got home. Hahaha I get so pissed off when I'm trying to listen to them talk and people from the crowd are screaming. Very rude. I find myself yelling at the TV telling the crowd to shut up. LOL I wonder if they turned the guys around so they didn't have to look at the signs and stuff?? Maybe it was too distracting for them as well?

Rutledge is a hoot. Leave him alone and let him do his thing. Nascar is too PC as it is. Rutledge is anti-PC.
I agree with the other posters about the audio. It sucks. Get some decent mics and somebody that knows how to operate the sound mix board. Put the guys on stage facing the crowd. I'm tired of seeing the drunk rednecks holding their beers up over the heads and shoulders of the panel and guests on stage.
All in all it's a fun show. Just need to put the guys on stage facing the audience and fix the poor audio.

Don't watch ESPN so don't know what "Gameday" is but glad OTHERS agree the mic and BACKGROUND NOISE is a huge issue. Also interesting to hear the sound is horrible in person.
HELLO SPEED, you never noticed the horrible audio. It does seem since they got those small headsets this year with the tiny black mics that look like like some BLACK GROWTH on a face, have things worsened?
Also VLane needs to address this issue. One time it was the helicopters taking off?!?! You mean they can't find a better broadcast spot than that?
What good is FUN if the distracting background takes away from the POINT OF THE SHOW.
and folks wonder why I love INC...it's inside and it's quiet...well, except when I used to hear the garbage truck come years ago but they blocked out that noise.
But yea, all the LIVE LOUD SPEED SHOWS could INVEST in better sound board operators.
Thanks for the feedback folks. I don't feel like such a curmudgeon now.

the show is called victory lane because they are in victory lane. Its not speed's fault that a helipad is right next to victory lane. if it is, well what do you want SPEED to do? Broadcast from the other side of the track? I want to see a show from Victory lane.

I completely disagree. The length of the show is fine how it is now. And now the fans have a CHOICE!! I can chose from a show on SPEED or ABC!! I want a choice.

It is interesting to note that even though Budweiser is a sponsor of Trackside, you cannot have an open container in the crowd...by that i mean it has to be in a coozie or concealed in some way...at least it was that way at LMS in Charlotte.

I know that at Michigan a couple of years ago, the show was impossible to hear from the crowd. That's why there's so much crowd noise. When you can't understand anything going on, but a camereas are nearby, what else is there do do but and mindlessly shout? And at MIS, no restrictions about open containers, which no doubt helps the enthusiasm. But at least back then, the unintelligable stage talent was facing us. I can't imagine watching a show where I couldn't hear or see the event. That's just stewpid.

Well I particularly don't like the crowd in the background and those signs they put up just drive me crazy! I enjoyed the interviews with Matt & Travis. Travis is a past champion of the truck series I actually think he should be staying in the trucks but he's given another chance at cup. Lucky him I guess.

Because, if they did, the crowd would be BEHIND the camera and you wouldn't see them. Think about any TV show using a host and audience--there's no way to see both their faces at the same time, and you only see the crowd when the camera is on them specifically.

Wow...so many sound experts in the audience. Man, if it wasn't for bloggers, how would any tv get done correctly. And let me tell you, whining on a blog gets results fast. If I was you, I'd ask for my money back from SPEED. It must be so frustrating watching tv you have to pay for and not getting the quality you want. Better yet, just keep whining and complaining on a blog to make yourself feel better. How's that working out for you? It is amazing how many audio mixing experts can be found on a blog....not actually doing it in the field. Might take time out of your day of watching and criticizing tv to actually learn about it. Hopefully, SPEED employees won't come to your place of work and tell you how to do your job...if you have one.

SPEED shows are not produced by NASCAR. That means:
1. Shortening or even doing away with RaceDay entirely would NOT cause the race to start any earlier. The race's start time is NASCAR's call. No matter when the race begins, RaceDay would just be backed-up to air ahead of it.
2. NASCAR does not "approve" SPEED's shows, so they have nothing to do with the fact the shows overlap. Not their "call."
I think it is a smart idea anyway, because I can watch SPEED until the Invocation instead of the poor-quality mess of a pre-race show ABC/ESPN is producing.

Nope. The consumer of a product or service does not have to do this. It is not the consumer's problem i the service provider doesn't do a good job.
The excuse you offer is the wrong one. When you get a bad meal at a restaurant, do you "take time out of your day of watching and criticizing" the restauarnt and "actually learn about it"?
No. You just want good service.
How about when you buy a defective product? Do you go to the plant and learn how it is made so you can have an appreciation of how hard it is to make that product?
No. You just want one that works.
Same here.
And SPEED is welcome to come to my TV station, because we don't let the staff use the excuse you offered up--that the job is hard--they're paid to do it right.
The audience expects a high quality product and they're right to complain if they don't feel thy're getting it.

I also enjoy Trackside. If memory serves, the panel with their backs to the audience came about under Chris Long. The explanation was something on the order of, he wanted the viewers to see the audience and feel the excitement of being at the track. It caused viewer complaints at the time and still does. I've always felt that a camera sweep of the audience going to break would serve just as well.
I also have the sound problem of having difficulty hearing the panel at times. Like Sophia, I am in low-tech TV land. :)

This is what I found about the Trackside stage being turned around ... Yes, it was a Chris Long bad call ...
Sorry John - Not sure how you feel about people quoted from other articles being placed on here ... This is part of an interview on the Speed website entitled "New Speed Channel VP of Studio Production Wastes No Time Getting to Work" ...
SPEED: You've already turned the stage around for SPEED's popular Friday night show Trackside - is that the limit to the changes going on to the at-track programs?
LONG: All of the shows from the track will see an enormous bump-up in production value. We turned the stage around because I wanted the television viewers to appreciate the live aspect of being at the track. We are hiring some new producers who have experience working on the fly. We just purchased Final Cut Pro 5, a powerful and precise editing software tool, to raise the production value of segments, vignettes and teases.
Ya know the funniest part of Trackside was awhile back when Dale Jr went over to the Budweiser SideBar and tried to pour a Bud from the tap ... Unfortunately, his skills were not very good and he wound up with more foam than beer in the mug (He didn't know the trick of slanting the mug at about a 75% angle to lessen the foaming) ...

North Fork bounty delivered to your door
The idea was simple: Bring the bounty of the North Fork's farms to home kitchens all over Long Island and New York City.
The execution: not so simple. To launch the website Farm2KitchenLongIsland.com, Kassata Bollman has had to marshal all her dedication, imagination and charm. She has tested her Internet savvy, her rush-hour driving and her upper-arm strength.
She's also had some explaining to do. Farm 2 Kitchen is a hybrid of farmers market and supermarket delivery service that's new to Long Island. Like a farmers market, it features the wares of many farms, dairies, bakeries and other local producers. Like supermarket delivery -- such as Fresh Direct or Peapod -- you peruse the merchandise online, then order whatever you like. There's a $40 minimum per order, and delivery charges range from $10.95 to $14.95, depending on where your home (or office) is.
On the morning of May 1, Bollman, 30, climbed into her SUV and made her first deliveries to 25 customers in Suffolk, Nassau, Queens and Manhattan. "We started even before the asparagus was up," she said. "That first week it was herbs, mesclun, spinach and pantry items like fresh milk from Goodale Farms and bread from Blue Duck Bakery."
The second week, she made 65 deliveries. On June 12, it was up to 82. Bollman is now selling more than 120 items. Her original plan was to make the deliveries herself; by week five, she had hired a local service to help deliver items to the five boroughs. When her mother announced her retirement last week, Bollman immediately put her to work.
Almost everything at Farm 2 Kitchen is grown or produced on the North Fork. Bollman spends Monday and Tuesday driving from East Marion to Calverton, making her purchases and hauling them into her SUV, a task she is reluctant to delegate. Talking to her vendors not only brings her closer to what she is selling, it sparks inspiration for new products.
In late May, Bollman stopped by The Giving Room yoga studio in Southold to discuss pricing the organic juices and cleanses from the studio's juice bar, The Giving Juice. Owner Paula DiDonato was making a batch of almond milk -- grinding the raw nuts in a blender, then pressing the slurry through a cheesecloth bag. Bollman had never tasted fresh-pressed almond milk and was duly impressed. Within minutes, she and DiDonato had agreed that Farm 2 Kitchen would offer The Giving Juice's almond milk, both plain and sweetened, for delivery the following week.
"This relationship gives me access to homes I'd never be in otherwise," DiDonato said. "A woman in Long Beach found my juice cleanse online. Without Kassata, I wouldn't be able to extend my reach beyond the North Fork."
Although Farm 2 Kitchen delivers locally to the North Fork, it's the customers west of Riverhead who are most enthusiastic. Lauren Emr of Huntington Bay has been ordering from Farm 2 Kitchen since May 22 and said, "It's just great to have access to all this great stuff from the North Fork. I get the pastured eggs," she said, "the North Fork bacon, the homemade root beer for my son, gluten-free baked goods for me." Because it's still early in the season, Emr's produce orders have been limited to asparagus, mint and, starting last week, early cherry tomatoes from Wickham's farm in Cutchogue, but "as more produce comes into season, I'll be ordering more."
Emr likes to support local agriculture, and she's also sold on the convenience of Farm 2 Kitchen. "I'm busy, I have work and I have kids. For $10, to have all this great stuff from the North Fork dropped off at my house, it's an incredible value."
The one exception to Bollman's hyperlocal rule is the beef that she gets from Slope Farms in the Catskills, which she sells ground and as steaks (for $8.75 to $10.95 a pound). "There's no beef raised on the North Fork," she said, "and from the beginning, it's been one of our best sellers." But ducks from Crescent in Aquebogue, turkeys and chickens from Miloski's in Calverton and fish from Southold Fish Market all hail proudly from area code 631.
Bollman developed a connection to the North Fork in a very short time; she moved to Southold in 2012, when she married Scott Bollman, a chef whose family has owned Bruce's Cheese Emporium in Greenport since 1974. Kassata graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson with a degree in communications in 2005 and went on to a string of on-air reporter assignments in Las Vegas, Reno, Fresno, Buffalo and Albany. "Wherever I went," she said, "I was always into the farmers markets. In Fresno, I did a story on raw milk, and the crew could barely drag me away."
Bollman's last broadcasting job was in Albany, where she learned about FarmieMarket, a self-described online farmers market that delivers the wares of about 40 farms to homes and offices in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. The idea stuck in her head, and, when she moved to the North Fork to start a life with her new husband, everything came together in Farm 2 Kitchen.
"I feel like I've found the job for the rest of my life," she said.
Bollman's weeks have taken on a cyclical relentlessness. Monday and Tuesday she gathers from vendors, bringing everything back to a garage equipped with freezers and refrigerators. On Monday nights, she looks over the orders and figures out the delivery routes for later in the week. On Tuesday nights, she starts packing the orders that will go out on Wednesday, placing the nonperishable items in special insulated bags. On Wednesday morning, she adds the fresh produce and dairy as well as cooler packs to the bags. Once they are sealed, the bags stay cold for hours.
Deliveries are made Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, depending on location. On Thursday night, Bollman sends a newsletter out to all registered customers, previewing that week's products. Over the weekend, she'll update the website and answer emails from customers; 10 p.m. Sunday is the cutoff for orders, and Monday morning, Bollman heads out to gather again.

For jilted bride and groom, government shutdown opens up new doors
Mike Cassesso's email Monday to a general inbox for the local staff of The Washington Post could have easily been ignored, buried beneath news releases sent daily to the paper's reporters. But Cassesso, a former staffer on two senatorial election campaigns, was pretty sure his message a complaint that the federal government's shutdown meant he couldn't get married Saturday at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial would easily tantalize.
He just didn't know by how much. In four days, the AARP legislative analyst's note to The Post led to stories on news sites around the world, and to appearances on NBC and CNN. As if that weren't enough ludicrous attention for Cassesso and his partner, MaiLien Le, the couple also participated in a two-part, 10-minute wedding ceremony Thursday night on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," featuring the actor Mandy Patinkin, who blessed them with a Hebrew prayer and, of course, pronounced the day and time when his CIA thriller "Homeland" airs on Showtime.
Cassesso and Le, who aren't Jewish and don't even watch "Homeland," weren't the only ordinary people this week leaping to shutdown stardom. There were all of those elderly veterans who "stormed" the National World War II Memorial. And there was the National Park Service ranger caught on viral video getting scolded by a Texas Republican congressman for denying access to those World War II veterans. (The anonymous ranger got an extra spin in the news cycle Thursday night after Vice President Biden's office tweeted that Biden had called the ranger, telling her, "I'm proud of you.")
For Cassesso and Le, however, the shutdown was easily the best thing that could have happened to their wedding.
"When The Post ran the original story, we assumed it was the high mark," Cassesso said Friday. "Then, we got the calls, the tweets and emails about doing stuff with local and national media, and we thought, 'Okay, this is the zenith.' Then 'Colbert' happened, and we couldn't believe it. We kept saying, 'How did we get here?' "
Cassesso, 29, and Le, 30, a project coordinator for an executive search firm, know something about politics and the media. He has worked for Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.. She has been a researcher for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign and worked on the reelection campaign for Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat .
Cassesso said it was his idea to write to The Post on Monday about the shutdown shutting down their wedding site. That day, he and Le had reached a boiling point: The National Park Service had confirmed that they could not get married on the west lawn of the Jefferson Memorial, even though they had paid for the $50 permit and were just days from the event, with friends and relatives already flying in. The shutdown meant any wedding any family trips, school tours could not take place at any of the country's 401 national parks. Cassesso and Le were among 24 couples scheduled to have weddings on the National Mall this month.
"I knew our story would have this human-interest angle and might be catchy and explain the unforeseen, unintended consequences of the shutdown," said Cassesso, taking a moment during his media-frenzied wedding week to further reflect on the frenzy. "I've done 'field' for them. I've done grass-roots organizing, door-to-door contact and phone calls," Cassesso said, adding this his media savvy has been shaped by his years working for politicians. "Messaging and communications is messaging and communications, whether it's face-to-face or on TV. You need to make sure people know where you're coming from."
After The Post story ran Tuesday, the couple's cellphones exploded with calls from reporters and producers nationwide.
In reaction, the Episcopal bishop of Washington said that all couples whose weddings were to be on federal property could get married instead in one of the gardens at the Washington National Cathedral. Others were less sympathetic. "WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE YOUNG DC OPERATORS TRYING TO HAVE 'A ROMANTIC WASHINGTON WEDDING?' " tweeted Julia Ioffe, a senior editor at the New Republic.
On Wednesday, while the couple were getting interviewed by a local television station near the Jefferson Memorial, they got a call from a "Colbert Report" producer. Le, a longtime fan of the show, said she was "silently screaming."
And finally, on Thursday night, with about 15 friends and relatives, they had their wedding, taped in New York before a live audience. Someone dressed up as Smokey Bear joined as a groomsman. (Smokey was available due to being furloughed, Colbert explained.) After Colbert pronounced Cassesso and Le husband and wife "by the power vested in me by the state of New York and the entire Viacom family of entertainment networks," Colbert introduced Audra McDonald, the Tony Award-winning singer, who serenaded them with Billy Idol's "White Wedding."
Now back in Washington, Cassesso and Le are basking in multiple Facebook likes and all the attention for their media attention. They are also trying to be ordinary again. They're still holding a (nontelevised) wedding on Saturday in Washington for 130 guests, but they asked The Post not to reveal the new location, fearing that the reporters whom they had courted all week will keep showing up, asking for more.
Sadly for them, their new wedding location hosts already broke the news.
"Excited to host the wkend wedding of this couple whose plans were disrupted by shutdown. @washingtonpost http://wapo.st/GBktFn," tweeted the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital in Southeast Washington on Thursday.

So yesterday I was at petsmart buying crickets for my daughters lizards and I saw this bottle of ammonia neutralizer in the fish section. I though, "hey let's try this...why not?"
I did my normal cold rinse, hot wash with detergent, cold rinse cold rinse. Then I did another hot wash with this ammonia neutralizer solution and let them soak for 30 minutes. Then I closed the
lid to my top loader and let the wash cycle run followed by two cold rinses.
My diapers have zero ammonia smell anymore! They smell like nothing, it's amazing. I've used them on my son and there hbe been no skin reactions or stink hiding in the diapers. It's like
brand new diapers! I have no idea what is in this bottle but it doesn't seem to have caused any buildup. Just though Id share! Here is what the bottle looks like:

Tinariwen To Appear On The Colbert Report November 29
The world renowned North African group TINARIWEN will bring their unique and hypnotic sound to the North American airwaves this November 29th when the band are featured guest on The Colbert Report.

Hailing from the war torn deserts of Saharan North Africa, TINARIWEN employ electric guitars and plaintive seductive rhythms to create a desert blues unlike anything else. On their groundbreaking new album Tassili, the band recorded in a protected region of the Algerian desert joined by Adebimpe and Malone of the TV On The Radio and later by guitarist Nels Cline of Wilco and the horns of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
"Let's get one thing straight: TINARIWEN is just about the best guitar-based rock band of the 21st century." - NPR

Welcome to Tuesday News Day! Every Tuesday, we'll share some of the week's top headlines.
Look for everything from the practical (airfares increase for the holidays) and the bizarre (they're adding mirrors to grocery carts) water-cooler fodder (did you know the tooth fairy is recession proof?) or any need-to-know story about the world of saving, shopping, and raising a family.
Here's what you need to know today:
1. Airfares are expected to increase this fall.
Supply and demand is all out of whack in the airline industry. Airlines are merging, which means fewer flights. In fact, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to stop the merger of American Airlines and US Airways. Regardless of the lawsuit's outcome, prices are expected to rise this holiday season. Check out the map to see which airports have seen the biggest increase or decrease in air traffic since 2003.

2. Tooth Fairy is paying big bucks.
The tooth fairy is 23% more generous this year, according to an annual survey from Visa. Kids get an average of $3.70 a tooth! About 6% of American children receive $20 or more, 2% receive a $50 bill, and kids in the Northeast received the most on average.
Source: cnbc.com
3. New way to pay for college.
Some college graduates are using crowdfunding to pay back their student debts or to pay for post-graduate studies. Borrowers can apply through crowdfunding firm, Upstart, and if they are eligible for funding they can get around $7,000 for every 1% of their income they pledge to pay back to their lender over five to ten years.

4. How to save on a new iPhone.Mobile phones are our prized possessions—until the new model comes out. Apple has expanded its trade-in program and now you can walk into their retail stores and exchange your old model for credit towards a new one. Non-water damaged phones will net you between $120 and $250.

5. Can a mirror change grocery store shopping habits?
Social scientists are examining different "nudges" to get shoppers to choose more fruits and vegetables. The most bizarre (and possibly effective) is putting a mirror on shopping carts. Shoppers have to quite literally face the facts before loading up carts with junk food. Another method divides shopping carts in half and advises customers to put produce in the front and everything else in the back.

"Mesmerizing" (NME) Chanteuse Begins Tour with Special Hometown Benefit
Acclaimed singer/songwriter Neko Case will take a break from recording in late August to embark on a North American tour that will find her performing at such high-profile festivals as Bumbershoot in Seattle and Austin City Limits.
The appearance probably closest to Neko's heart is the show that will kick off these tours on August 25th at the Rialto in Tucson AZ. The passionate animal enthusiast will donate the earnings from both ticket sales and show posters sales (by artist Kathleen Judge - http://www.judgeworks.com) to the Greyhound Adoption League of Tucson, AZ. Neko also hopes to get information out to the public about the efforts of the Tucson Dog Protection as well. The Greyhound Adoption League seeks to place retired racing greyhounds in permanent, loving homes, while the Tucson Dog Protection is both a non-profit organization and a ballot initiative to improve on the legal treatment of the city's dog population.
Another key event in the upcoming dates is the Stanley Park Singing Exhibition curated by Neko's other band, The New Pornographers. Neko and the Pornographers, Destroyer, Andrew Bird, Deerhoof, the 1900s and Visqueen, are among only some of the international bands that will perform over the two-day festival in Vancouver. Proceeds from the festival will benefit local organizations like the ALS Society of Canada for Lou Gehrig's disease (http://als.ca/) and the Urban Native Youth Association (http://www.unya.bc.ca/).
Neko is currently in the studio, recording her follow-up to 2006's lauded Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. Her new album is expected early in 2009.
Neko Case on tour: Aug 25 - Tucson AZ - the Rialto (Benefit for GAL + Tuscon Dog Protection) Aug 27 - Reno NV - Robert Hawkins Amphitheater Aug 28 - Salt Lake City UT - Gallivan Center (Twilight Concert Series) Aug 29 - Boise ID - Winery at Eagle Knoll Aug 30 - Seattle WA - Bumbershoot Festival Aug 31 - Vancouver BC - Stanley Park Singing Exhibition (Neko Case set) Sept 1 - Vancouver BC - Stanley Park (New Pornographers set) Sept 12 - Laytonville CA - Earthdance Festival @ Black Oak Ranch Sept 14 - Morrison CO - Monolith Festival Sept 15 - Omaha NE - Slow Bar Sept 16 - Des Moines IA - Hoyt Sherman Sept 18 - Minneapolis MN - First Avenue Sept 19 - Madison WI - the Orpheum Sept 20 - Chicago IL - Hideout Block Party Sept 21 - Chicago IL - Hideout Block Party - with New Pornographers Sept 23 - Cleveland OH - Beachland Ballroom Sept 24 - St Louis MO - the Pageant Sept 25 - Oxford MS - the Lyric Sept 26 - Oklahoma City OK - Diamond Ballroom Sept 27 - Dallas TX - Granada Theater Sept 28 - Austin TX - Austin City Limits festival

Post Grammy Mavis To Play Conan, NAACP Awards & More
After winning the first Grammy of her career earlier this month, Mavis Staples makes a triumphant return to LA next week for a Conan appearance on Wednesday March 2nd and a performance honoring former Secretary of State Colin Powell at the NAACP Image Awards on Friday March 4. Mavis is an NACCP Award-nominee for You Are Not Alone, which is up for Outstanding Gospel Album. The Awards will air live from the Shrine Auditorium on Fox at 8/7 Central.
In between her TV appearances, on Thursday, March 3, Mavis will stop by KCRW for a live on-air interview (10am PT) and that night she will be joined by her full band for an "insanely rare" (LA Times) performance at the Satellite (formerly Spaceland).
Staples, nominated alongside Robert Plant, Willie Nelson, Rosanne Cash and Los Lobos, took home the Grammy for Best Americana Album for You Are Not Alone. Produced by Jeff Tweedy, the album earned Mavis the highest Billboard chart debut of her 50+ year career along with universal critical acclaim. NPR enthused, "she turns a simple pop song into a lament that could move a listener to tears," while the Chicago Tribune called her "a voice of reassurance in troubled times."

text: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 Workplace Wellness Programs Not Netting Savings Workplace wellness programs may not save companies money in the short term, says an article by the Associated Press based on a 2-year study at a major St Louis hospital system. The new study provides an in-depth look at the experience of BJC HealthCare, a hospital system that in 2005 started a comprehensive program linked to insurance discounts. BJC employs 28,000 people and provides health insurance for about 40,000, including family members. The overwhelming majority participated in the wellness program. The program focused on 6 lifestyle-influenced conditions: high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung problems, serious respiratory infections, and stroke. Employees had to join the program in order to get the hospital's most generous level of health insurance, called the Gold Plan. For family coverage, for example, the hospital paid nearly $1,650 more of costs in the Gold Plan. Employees in the wellness program had to complete a health risk assessment that included height, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other measurements. They also signed a pledge to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Smokers had to get help to quit. Spouses also were required to sign the health pledge and, if they smoked, get help. The study tallied up BJC's medical costs before the wellness program and for 2 years after. It also compared those costs with expenses of 2 other big local employers that did not have wellness programs. Hospitalizations for employees and family members dropped dramatically, by 41% overall for the 6 major conditions. But increased outpatient costs erased those savings. When those costs were added to the cost of the wellness initiative itself, "it is unlikely that the program saved money," the authors concluded. Steven Noeldner, an expert with the Mercer benefits consulting firm says well-designed programs generally show a positive return of about 2% by the third year, the article says. BJC President Steven Lipstein said he doesn't dispute the conclusion, but he remains committed to the wellness program and would invite the researchers to take another look now. He added that encouraging employees to make healthy lifestyle decisions and rewarding those who do reflects corporate values, not just the bottom line. Economist Gautam Gowrisankaran, lead author of the study, notes that there could be other benefits not directly measured in the study, such as reduced employee absenteeism and higher productivity. Comments Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, MA has a greatly successful wellness program for their employees that has reduced costs and this year our insurance rates actually decreased. I am only an employee so I don't know the exact numbers but the hospital works hard to care for it's patients and the care is just as good for their employees :) Posted by Geanna Granger on 3/5/2013 7:12 PM Measuring health variables and signing an contract do not ensure participation. Regular re-evaluations and documentation of participation are the only ways to make sure employees are really receiving the benefits of any program. Posted by Mark Howard -> =GQ^C on 3/7/2013 1:34 PM As physical therapists, we need to advocate for a new approach to wellness screening that substitutes a physical fitness screen for blood screening that is costly and results in more prescriptions, rather than more physical activity. Posted by Rick Wickstrom on 3/8/2013 5:47 PM Did the participants in the study spend more on out-patient services during the study period? Or was the cost of the wellness program such that the combined out-paient cost + wellness program cost = hosptialization cost? Shouldn't a wellness program be the responsibility of the individual? That is to say wellness should be a PERSONAL value? Not that it hurts for the corporate culture to support a wellness value as they, too, have a vested interest (sick-time costs $$).

BOSTON -- Sales of the state's new $30 instant lottery ticket have brought in more than $259 million in four months, more than double the most conservative estimate.
"World Class Millions" is the lottery most expensive ticket and it has beat out nine other states that began offering $30 tickets this year.
So far, one of the four $15 million top prizes and 11 $1 million second-place prizes have been claimed.
The big jackpot went to the BWE Nominee Trust of Marblehead, which chose a lump sum payment of about $6.4 million after taxes. The trustees told lottery officials BWE stands for Best Week Ever.
The odds against winning the $15 million prize, the largest ever on an instant ticket in Massachusetts, are 6.3 million to 1.
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin introduced $30 tickets this year. Average weekly sales in Massachusetts hit $17.2 million, followed by Georgia with $11.5 million.
As lottery officials prepare to compete with casinos in Massachusetts, instant tickets continue to drive sales increases for the agency. Instant tickets saw a $22 million sales increase in July, compared to the same month last year, driven largely by new games released in mid-June.
"We are seeing a great bump this year, and we continue to retool the offerings, not only what they visually look like, but also the play mechanics and the prizes," said Lottery Executive Director Beth Bresnahan. "The $30 ticket certainly has helped."
Instant tickets account for almost 70 percent of the agency's overall sales.
Lottery profits are returned to cities and towns as unrestricted local aid, a fact that has weighed in to the debate over legalizing casino gaming. Voters in November will decide whether to repeal the state's casino gambling law, and candidates for statewide office have been debating both sides of that issue.
State lotteries looking for growth in instant ticket sales are putting major efforts behind higher priced games, according to Bresnahan. This past spring New Hampshire launched a $25 ticket, and Florida introduced two $25 games over the last two years. The Texas Lottery offered a $50 game in May 2007.
