Where to Eat Near Times Square (Our Updated Guide)
Two years ago we shared our picks for where to eat near Times Square, the focal point of New York's tourist economy and home to many a chain mega-restaurant. But amid the mammoth TGI Friday's and Guy Fieri's 500-seat restaurant, you'll find plenty of quality places for a quick bite, a casual lunch, or a full sit-down meal. This guide covers the picks from our original guide, plus our new favorite spots we've encountered since July 2011. More

Right on Point: Antique Diamond Ring
The allure of antique jewelry is difficult to measure but those who experience it can attest to its power. Here is an example of how an antique ring, in fact, a super centenarian has the magnetism to draw us into its mystery and beauty. The warmth of 18k yellow gold cannot be denied and it is as though the diamonds were created just for the purpose of resting within.
A lozenge shape takes on thirteen (13) chunky cushion cut old diamonds of an estimated total .86 carats (H-I color range; VS2-SI1 clarity with two smaller ones at SI2-I1). Surprisingly white and dazzling as diamonds of this time frame tend to be lower on the color scale. All set in 18k yellow gold with a modified crimped collet-like edge and scalloped under carriage. Lovely details appoint the shoulders.
Date: Circa 1890.
Measurements: 11/16 of an inch (2.0 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 3.9 grams (2.5 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-3/4 (UK N; Euro or Int. Circum. 53.8 mm; Int. Dia. 17.1 mm; Japan over 13) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 18.
Condition: Excellent; two diamond with edge chips visible with magnification.
Origin: English.
Note: Diamonds were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. Weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed.

Strava Suffer Score decoded
Suffer score is a good move for Strava. Strava's market segment is informal competition. Other web sites have logged how far people ride, and where, but Strava really locked into the demand for competition: competition via social networking. To date these rankings have been based primarily on speed over "segments": routes defined by users, for example on roads or trails, typically up climbs. They then added contests for volume: most miles ridden in a week and most feet climbed, for example. But with Suffer Score, they combine the two: a metric combining both quantity and quantity.
Why's this important? Of course not everyone can climb fast enough to compete for KOMs on popular climbs. But a heartrate-based metric levels the playing field to a large extent. Anyone who's been riding regularly for long enough can go out with the goal of generating an "epic" suffer score for the day.
Suffer score is an obvious correlary with the Coggan "training stress score" (TSS). TSS is an attempt to quantify the training stress of a ride: it's effect on fatigue and its stimulus for physiological adaptation. That both of these can be captured with the same simple metric is far from obvious, but TSS is a blunt instrument, and its popularity among hardcore power meter fans proves people find it useful.
But Strava's focus isn't on hard-core training junkies. It's on the typical Mission Cycling or SF2G rider: people who like to ride, and when they ride like to ride quickly, and as a consequence of this quick riding tend to acquire fitness. However, the goal of every ride is still the joy of the ride, not strictly to improve fitness. So "suffer score" is a "don't take me quite so seriously" number by which long-hard-rides can be compared. "Pain is good", it suggests, not only for it's "training stress".
The big question, however, is how Suffer Score is calculated? To test this, I used a Perl script to generate ride data at constant heartrate. My "rides" consoisted of perfect 1 km radius circules in the Bonneville Salt Flats ridden at a perfect 10 meters per second. Each ride had a different heart rate, perfectly constant, or a different duration.
First I tried using the GPX file format for this purpose, but Strava wouldn't digest the heartrate numbers. So I switched to TCX. This worked nicely.
Here's one of my rides:
From a few tests, I was able to guess the following formula was used for Suffer Score:
Suffer score = K1 t1 + K2 t2 + K3 t3 + K4 t4 + K5 t5
t1 = time in hours in zone 1
t2 = time in hours in zone 2
t3 = time in hours in zone 3
t4 = time in hours in zone 4
t5 = time in hours in zone 5
With coefficient roughly equal to the following (may be off by 1/hr):
K1 = 12/hr
K2 = 24/hr
K3 = 45/hr
K4 = 100/hr
K5 = 120/hr
I like this approach, although I'd be tempted to increase K5, for example to 200. Time in Z5 is very, very painful. Of course this depends on having a good number for maximum heart rate, which may not be the case. In fact a geometric progression would have worked well here: 12, 24, 48, 96, 192. I think this would have helped the criticism I've been reading that it's too endurance-focused.

Whoops -- I'll fix the blog (I don't know where "bias" came from -- doing too many semiconductor device simulations for the day job).
To be fair, then did mention TRIMP in the support forum. So they're not practicing active deception (benign neglect if anything). Not sure about the TSS descriptions.
I still need to check the formula against time gaps in the ride to see if they're doing any time averaging. So far I checked linearity only against rides of constant HR. Spent too much time debugging my ride data generation script.

Do you mind posting a link to your perl script that generates the TCX file?
I won't judge your coding, I just want to save myself time from doing fun experiments like these on my own with Strava.

Hi Andrew, this is Mark Shaw from Strava. You're absolutely right, we should make reference to TRIMP in our "What's this?" section, as it is correct to say we're using a modified TRIMP score. It wasn't our intention to hide this fact and it was an oversight not to mention it directly on the site. As Dan points out, our intention is to be open about this, as we do discuss it on support forums. We've been getting a lot of feedback from our users which we're using to help make adjustments to the score and the language around it. We'll add a mention of TRIMP to our site - thanks for the heads up.

- Péter I. Pápics said...
1st of all, very nice post, I was 100% sure that you would figure this formula out when I saw the SSS on the Strava website ;)
I completely agree with giving zone 5 a much higher score, and I like the idea of the geometric progression, so that's how I included it in my personal workout analyzer script:
k1...k5 is 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200
while the categories are
leisurely 0-49
moderate 50-99
tough 100-199
very hard 200-399
mind-blowing 400-
It is really a pity that there are basically no Strava users in Europe... :(
- August 10, 2011 at 9:44 PM
- Péter I. Pápics said...
Ps.: what I wrote earlier might be good to rate the toughness of the ride, but it should not be mixed with TSS values. I did not mean that. Now that you wrote about it I read a bit into these things, and I have found lots of interesting stuff, thanks again!

Great post. Since going premium I've been confused by the suffer score. I do a very, very hard race of 1.5hrs with almost all my time in Z4 but I get a greater SS on a 4 hr club ride spent in z2 & z3. The race caused a lot more "suffering"
Why can't Strava just give us a TSS and IF score. And ideally all the analysis you get in WKO+ for a "super premium" membership fee?
- April 9, 2012 at 3:55 AM
- djconnel said...
The terms "TSS" and "TSB", etc, are trademarked, so they can't be used without license. But I think Strava views its market as different: not focused on power meters, but more the average rider who just likes to ride hard without formal metrology. So it's intended to be a "fun" number. They've upgraded their metrology to include a "red zone" score, which is the component of "suffer score" from Z4-Z5. Actually, it would make a good API project to extract a TSS-like statistic from Strava data. I've got a bunch of projects on my plate but that wouldn't be too hard.
- April 9, 2012 at 5:40 AM
- thehomme said...
There's no doubt Strava is a broad mainstream product. I can understand that as a business strategy at start up and beyond but there's a huge gap in the market for a single cohesive system.
There's currently very little you get from Strava premium. Most people I know pay cos they think they should rather than for what Strava provides. If they want to drive premium membership then they need to be looking to add significant functionality for the growing numbers of club cyclists. To my mind these are the people who will pay...if you just enjoy riding your bike then why go premium?
My ideal product would be trainer road, something akin to WKO+ all integrated with Strava.
Its funny the comment about no one being on Strava in Europe. It seems to be hitting a tipping point here in the UK.
- April 9, 2012 at 9:03 AM
- djconnel said...
Yes -- they've made a big marketing push for Europe!
GoldenCheetah has some Strava integration. I've not followed it, but I suspect it does what you want. Try that out...
Strava has a simple API which makes it easy for apps to upload or download rides to Strava accounts. This makes it fairly easy to implement alternative front-ends. It will become simpler when version 3 of the API comes out within the next few months.
For example, I'd like to do an app to extract critical power curves from Strava rides. It's easy to do for one ride, harder if you want some sort of global curve. But GoldenCheetah already offers this capability.
- April 9, 2012 at 9:10 AM
- Sourceminer said...
Awesome Post Dan, thanks for the reas up. Recently I have been perplexed with the idea of renewing my subscription of Strava as I love the Golden Cheetah program. The Suffer score I am sorry to see only works with a heart rate, they dont include it in a power meter which I believe should be. I hope to see more meaningful updates to Strava for the people that pay for a subscription.
Thanks for the great write-up!
- September 27, 2012 at 4:32 PM
- djconnel said...
I fully agree: there's no reason they couldn't do a suffer score with power meter data. Perhaps they wish to limit the computational burden, since they're dealing with their exponential increase in users as their user base has expanded from it's previous focus in the San Francisco Bay area. In running they use pace for analysis.

Thanks for the INFO! Very few of us on STRAVA in Saigon, it helps with the motivation. I moved my max HR up by 2 beats, found that I am in much better shape, but get home from a 130km ride and I get a "tough".... would have been "extreme" (nearly 50 points more) for similar rides this time last year.
Any ideas about the Out and Back issues? I have emailed the company and there seems to be no fix in sight. Instead, people cut the course short and get outragous speeds. We really have about 80km or good riding in Ho Chi Minh City where we can really just let it out. So, this error is a bit of a shame!

Thanks, Tina! I have been to Saigon and really liked it. I didn't try cycling there, but other places in Vietnam, like De Lat 300 km to the north, seemed like excellent cycling locations.
On the out-and-back problem I have spoken to Strava in person about that and I expect it will be solved eventually. The problem is that the matching between the start and end point is relatively loose. So if you do an out-and-back, and match the start and finish (the same point), then if you have visited 80% of the points in between (80% of the route, cutting short 20%), then it might match you. What they need to do is to add in special checkpoints which must be matched in addition to the start and finish. For an out-and-back that would be the turn-around point. I had expected they would have done this by now but I think their priorities have been elsewhere, for example on handling the enormous number of new users.
I recently ran a 10 km race and it gave me credit for the 10 km race segment using only 8 km of my data: after 8 km I passed close to the finish line and it concluded I had matched the segment. So my time for that segment was extremely good... same problem.

Suffer score = K1 t1 + K2 t2 + K3 t3 + K4 t4 + K5 t5
t1 = time in hours in zone 1
t2 = time in hours in zone 2
t3 = time in hours in zone 3
t4 = time in hours in zone 4
t5 = time in hours in zone 5
With coefficient roughly equal to the following (may be off by 1/hr):
K1 = 12/hr
K2 = 24/hr
K3 = 45/hr
K4 = 100/hr
K5 = 120/hr
ok... but hr means the total of hours spent in the exercise??
- April 16, 2013 at 3:56 AM
- djconnel said...
Total hours during which HR was in those particular zones and data were recording. So if it jumps from zone-to-zone, they estimate time in each zone.
- April 16, 2013 at 4:06 AM
- Joao Frazao said...
I still not understand!
so if k1= 12/hr
and hr means the time spent in the zone and then i multiply for t1 that is time spent in zone 1... the in the final i have just 12+24+... because the hr cut t and just leave the score for each zone??
I know that some of my cal is not correct, but what??? pls give an example!
K1 t1 + K2 t2 + K3 t3 + K4 t4 + K5 t5
t1 = time in hours in zone 1
t2 = time in hours in zone 2
t3 = time in hours in zone 3
t4 = time in hours in zone 4
t5 = time in hours in zone 5
With coefficient roughly equal to the following (may be off by 1/hr):
K1 = 12/hr
K2 = 24/hr

No: (12/hr) is a factor with units per hour. So if you multiply (12/hr) by (2.5 hr) then the hours cancel, and you get 30. If you multiply (12/hr) by (250 minutes) you need to multiply by (1 hr / 60 minutes) and now the hr, minutes both cancel and you are left again with 30. You do this separately for each HR zone, counting the number of individual seconds spent in each, and you end up with total suffer score.

Nice analysis! Have you delved into how they calculate power at all?
- April 26, 2013 at 10:14 PM
- djconnel said...
I am not certain how power is calculated, but unless rider weight + bike weight on Strava = the weight of everything together, including water bottles, water, food, clothes, helmet, shoes, tools, etc, the power calculation will be biased low. The issue here is I suspect most users use their bare bike mass and their naked body mass, so power estimates tend to be too low.
- April 30, 2013 at 4:44 PM
- philgo20 said...
thanks for this!
I agree with thehomme and yourself: time spent in z2 should have less incidence on suffer score and time spent in z4 and z5 should be even higher.
Some fairly easy endurance long runs get higher SSS than tempo runs and hill repeats.
- May 1, 2013 at 4:18 PM
- Joao Frazao said...
very work to find this power (watts) algoritm
the results are very close to strava em endomondo
calories =(((2,706*total weight in kg*Velocity kph*%elevation)+(1,247*10^(-2)*Cda*(velocity kph+wind kph)^2*velocity kph)+(2,706*Crr*total weight in kg*velocity kph))/0,95)*3.90265912226099*time hrs *2
Watts = Callories* 1000 / 3600
crr for mtb = 0,0046
Cda = 1 * 0.0293 * (Height in mts ^ 0.725) * (Pweight kg ^ 0.425) + 0.0604 + 0.2645

Have you written about the other new Strava premium features when you have a power meter, such as the fitness score, training load and fatigue?
- May 22, 2013 at 11:04 PM
- djconnel said...
Not much, Franz. TIme is limited for these projects, unfortunately. Most of my blog writing is done on crowded Caltrain commutes.
But the training score, fitness, and fatigue are very similar to CTL, TSB, and ATL from TrainingPeaks. Those parameter names are trademarked. GoldenCheetah has similar metrics. The issue is you need to use a power meter every ride. I didn't use one during the Berkeley Hills Road Race, a considerable physical stress, and so that shows up as a total rest day in my metrics. It takes months to flush that omission from my scores.
At GoldenCheetah I proposed an algorithm that a regression could be done on distance and climbing of existing rides to estimate these scores for riders without power data. Strava could also use estimated power. Anything is better than assigning zero score to a ride without power meter data, assuming there's no data from car or train rides, for example, contaminating these.

Hi Dj,
I am confused. If T1 is equal to the number of hours in zone 1 and HR is equal to the number of hours in zone 1, then T1 = HR.
So, for axample (and examples are sorely needed), if I walk 30 minutes in zone 1 then T1 = .5 and K1 = 12/.5 so T1 * K1 = 12
- November 29, 2013 at 10:58 AM
- djconnel said...
"hr" is units "hours". So it's not a variable, but a unit constant.
- November 29, 2013 at 1:41 PM
- oscar said...
thanks for the quick reply, but HR hours in that particular zone and Tx hours in that particular zone?
- November 29, 2013 at 2:20 PM
- djconnel said...
t1 is the time in zone 1. I say "in hours" to be easier for people to understand, but really that's redundant. Time has units of "hours" but it can also have units of "minutes" or "seconds", etc. Suffer score has no units. So I need to multiply t1 by something which has units of 1/hours. Then the hours will cancel (one in numerator, one in denominator) and I'll be left with something with no units, which is what I want.
If I were to specify time in minutes instead of hours then I'd need to multiply by a unit conversion factor, for example (1 hour / 60 minutes).
This is common in physics. For example, if I have a velocity (units distance/time) and multiply it by a time (units time) the times cancel and I'm left with distance, which is what I want for riding a particular speed for a particular time. When I put the multiplier in units 1/hr, you're guaranteed to get the correct result.
It's always important to keep track of units. Suffer score, in order to be simple to understand, is presented without units: you can't say "my suffer score was 100 hours" or "my suffer score was just over 4 days" or "6000 minutes".... it's just 100.

The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The Secure Loop design may not be a perfect fit for every ear, but the Bowers & Wilkins C5 Series 2 sounds better than the original and is one top in-ear headphones for less than $200.
Despite great contrast and a market-busting price, the Vizio P series has too many picture quality flaws to claim the Holy Grail of 4K TV value.
While it should be reserved strictly for a mature audience, Bayonetta 2 is a masterful action game brimming with vibrant visuals and a larger-than-life presence.
Whether you listen to death metal or nature documentaries, the Bowers and Wilkins B&W 685 S2s are an astoundingly good set of speakers and an excellent deal at this price level.
Professionals who need a powerful storage device for data-intensive tasks will find that the G-Tech G-Speed Studio R Thunderbolt 2 is an excellent investment.
Excellent picture quality, well thought-out features and distinctive design make the Vizio M-Series seem like a much more expensive TV than it really is.
iDevices' iShower2 is a water-resistant speaker that lets you listen to music and answer (or ignore) calls without sacrificing your actual phone.
Pricing not available
An excellent entry point into the world of aerial photos and video, DJI's Phantom 2 Vision+ is worth the cost for its simple setup and use.
New fast processor, better cameras, Touch ID, and it's even thinner: see what makes this year's iPad even better than before, even if it feels like a familiar package.

Color:Chic yet simple, our Emmy Metallic Sandal is a warm-weather must-have. Made of shimmery leather with a small plaque featuring our iconic double-T logo, it's a versatile wear-anywhere style for day or evening — and a subtle way to add shine to any look.
Style Number: 50008672
In-Store Availability
Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Katie Nice at first, but poor quality I have a few pairs of Tory sandals and was excited about my metallic gold Emmy sandals. They are really comfortable and chic, however, after just a few wears, much of the metallic began wearing off, exposing a reddish-brown leather all over the top of the shoe. I purchased these last summer, wore them a few times, and can't even get more than half a season of wear out of them. I would not recommend these for the cost. The Thora and Miller sandals held up much better than the Emmy. June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keri Classic and Perfect These sandals are so cute and versatile; they can be styled with anything from shorts to Sunday best! They are true to size and very comfortable. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FLGIRL These Sandals are awesome I just picked up a pair of these sandals at the Outlet in Orlando and they are awesome. They are so comfortable it feels like you are walking on a sponge. This is my 1st pair of Tory and I have absoultely no regrets, it is well worth the money. September 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bluebird123 So cute and comfortable! Love love love these shoes! Wore them all summer...while pregnant!! Cushioned sole kept my feet happy, while the style kept them cool. Could wear with shorts, jeans, or dresses. Lots of compliments on them. Only downside is that the gold wears off over time so that they don't look so cute when they're not on your feet. Also, the metallic doesn't absorb much moisture, so your feet can feel sweaty. August 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michelle326 Best sandals These sandals are the most comfortable! I wore them on our California vacation. I wore them everyday, all day, and my feet never hurt. We even went to Disneyland, and my feet still didn't hurt! I have them in silver, and thinking about buying them in gold too. Highly recommend! August 7, 2012

The brightly colored table she designed complements the bright flavors of the menu she developed—the margaritas, Smoked Gouda and Caramelized Onion Quesadillas, sizzling Mexican Steak Salad, and Tres Leche Cake. She draped the table with a fringed linen tablecloth of coral, yellow, turquoise, and ecru. Dark wood service plates match the tone of the outdoor wicker furniture, setting off Lulu's turquoise-rimmed salad and dinner plates. A mix of sparkling margarita glasses ranges in style from clear modern forms to textured glass, contrasting nicely with water glasses that are embellished with patterns of gold stripes and chevrons. Fun touches include inexpensive cotton-and-bead bracelets repurposed to cinch white linen napkins with embroidered monograms.
"Instead of striving for a perfect, formal table, it's easier to take a naturally casual event and give it a little bit of sophistication," says Lulu. "A fiesta stimulates all senses with vibrancy, music, and wonderful spices. It's perfect for the laid-back attitude of summer."

Children's Health
Premature Birth Rate Is Dropping
July 9, 2010 -- The rate of premature births has dropped slightly for the second year in a row, according to a new federal report.
What is more, the rate of births to teens also has declined, the study shows.
The report, "America's Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2010," finds that in the period 2007-2008:
- The percentage of infants born preterm (before 37 weeks) dropped from 12.7% to 12.3%.
- Teen girls are having fewer babies. Births to adolescents dropped from 22.2 per 1,000 girls to 21.7.
- The rate of children 17 years and under covered by health insurance at some time during the year rose from 89% to 90%.
- The percentage of children 17 and under who are living with at least one parent employed full-time dropped from 77% to 75%.
- The percentage of children 17 and under living in "food insecure" homes rose from 17% to 22%, the highest prevalence since monitoring began. The report defines "food security" as having access at all times to enough food for all family members to lead active, healthy lives.
"The decline in preterm births is encouraging," Alan E. Guttmacher, MD, acting director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development, says in a news release. "Preterm infants are at higher risk for death in the first year of life, for serious illness in infancy, and in later life, for obesity and its associated complications."
Edward Sondik, PhD, director of the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, says in the same news release that the decline in births to teens is significant because it occurred after two years of increases.
Reading and Math Improvements
The report also shows improvements in children's education, including higher reading and math scores for eighth graders. In the period from 2007 to 2009:
- Eighth graders' average mathematics scores increased from 281 to 283 on one scale of measurement, while fourth graders' scores were flat after rising for a number of years.
- Eighth graders' average reading scores also increased, from 263 to 264, while scores of fourth graders did not change.
- From 2008 to 2009, the percentage of teens 16-19 who were neither enrolled in school nor working increased from 8% to 9%. Black and Hispanic young people were more likely to be in that situation than white teens.
Guttmacher said in a telephone news briefing that the federal report presents 40 indicators of child well-being, including family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health.
He says the drop in preterm births was mostly in later pregnancy -- those that occur at 34-36 weeks of gestation.
He says it's unclear why the rate of preterm births dropped, but that this matter is being investigated with a view toward further reducing the preterm birth rate.
Sondik says the decline in preterm births was seen in each of the three largest racial and ethnic groups, and that though small, "even a slight decrease in preterm birth is positive."
Despite improvements, however, he says about 136,000 babies were born to mothers 15-27 in 2008.

Saturday's 20-kilometer time trial at the Tour de Romandie looms large for Cadel Evans and Steve Morabito. The BMC Racing Team riders are among more than a dozen riders within a minute of the lead.
Challenging Time Trial
Evans slipped one spot in the overall standings after Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) won Friday's stage and a time bonus. Pavel Brutt (Katusha) still leads with Vinokourov second (at :32), Damiano Cunego third (at :38) Evans fourth (at :42) and Morabito sixth (at :50). "I'm getting better and better," Evans said. "It's been good so far, so I have every reason to believe I'm going into the time trial to do something on GC and even for the stage." Morabito said: "It will be a really hard time trial, particularly with some climbs at the start and then up-and-down after that. It's going to be hard to keep the speed high."

About Me Practical
This shirt is made of rough cotton, not at all soft to the touch. The color is a very bright, primary red. It shrinks a significant amount after washing. Very disappointing quality since it is from the official store.
Great shirt!

Master Gardeners plan plant sale and swap on May 4
By Sue Davis
Extension Master Gardener Volunteer
SALISBURY — Save the date, Saturday, May 4, for plant shopping. That is the day the Rowan County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers hold their annual Plant Sale and Swap. This event is a three in one opportunity to buy plants, swap plants that you are dividing for ones that others have brought from their gardens and to buy a gift for yourself, your garden or someone else at the Silent Auction. All three events are at the Rowan County Extension Office, 2727 Old Concord Road. The plant sale and silent auction begin at 8 a.m. The plant swap begins at 10 a.m..
Among the items you can bid on at the Silent Auction are an assortment of books, gift certificates, planters and yard art. All of the items are donated by the Rowan County businesses and garden enthusiasts in the community. Proceeds from the sales will be used to continue the work being done by the Extension Master Gardener Volunteers at the Extension Office and for their youth programs.
To participate in the Plant Swap, you can bring up to five plants to swap for five plants. Participation is $1 for the five plants. Plants you bring must be healthy. Forms will be available for you to identify the plants you bring. Master Gardeners will be on hand to help you with identification if you are not sure. Please be able to tell the color of any blossoms, and whether you have been raising it in sun or shade and wet or dry conditions. Forms will be available at the Extension Office or on the web page. This event will run until all the plants are gone. Once your five plants have been swapped, you are free to leave, perhaps shopping for plants or checking on your bid at the Silent Auction.
While you are waiting for the plant sale, think about where you need new plants. This is a good time to plant perennials, shrubs and small trees. Planting information and plant information is available for each plant being sold. Plants are healthy, have been provided by Extension Master Gardeners or from the plants propagated during the 2012 early summer propagation classes.
Many of the plants are propagated from plants around historic Salisbury. We have many camellias which have been generated from the lovely old camellias you see in Fulton Heights and throughout the historic district. There is a great selection of butterfly bushes, green leaf Daphne, gardenia and azaleas available. Deutzia is an easy shrub to grow, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. Slender Deutzia prefers moist, humus soil with a neutral pH, but is quite tolerant of dry and heavy soils with in a wide pH range. It blooms best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. They are hardy in our zone 7. Both the pink and white varieties are available.
Confederate jasmine has an intoxicating fragrance. It is a vine that is grown widely in the area. We have a large selection of plants. You can use it in many settings. In early spring and summer, Confederate jasmine produces clusters of small, white flowers that look like tiny pinwheels. Despite their diminutive size, the flowers pack a huge punch of sweet fragrance and can easily perfume an entire yard.
Confederate jasmine is a fast-growing, twining vine that can be grown on lamp posts, trellises or arbors. It will easily twine through chain link fences and makes a great, evergreen screen. It will not climb on masonry walls unless a support structure is added. You will also find a selection of coral honeysuckle and yellow honeysuckle to use as a screen.
The plants available at the plant sale are too numerous to mention here but you will find a complete list on our website http://www.rowanmastergardener.com by April 25. With every purchase you will receive information of how to use the plants you buy, how to care for them and where they will do best in your yard.
Hours for the Plant Sale May 4 are 9 a.m.-noon. There will also be a selection of BioMarkers to mark your plants in beds for sale at 18 for $25 or $1.50 each. These plant markers are made from recycled products and will withstand long periods outside. If you plant perennials which go dormant during winter, these plant tags work well to help you remember what plants are in your garden so you do not destroy them during spring weeding. There are also Cobrahead weeders and Atlas Gloves for sale.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JL Audio Slash v2 Series 1000/1v2 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Consistent power for performance you can count on JL Audio's Slash v2 amplifiers aren't just powerful, they're smart. As your battery voltage fluctuates while you drive, the Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply system maintains steady, consistent power at any impedance between 1.5 and 4 ohms and at any voltage between 11 and 14.4 volts. You'll get all the power, all the time, even with a wide range of speaker combinations. 1,000 watts of reliable power The 1000/1v2 mono amplifier puts out 1,000 watts RMS of clean power to your subwoofer system, and JL Audio's patented Class-D amp circuitry keeps a tight rein on cone movement. The cast aluminum heatsinks dissipate heat quickly, giving these amps long lifespans and reliable operation. You'll find all controls, inputs, and outputs on the front panel, for easy access and a neat installation. Minimize external noise JL Audio amps use "differential-balanced inputs" to isolate the signal's ground from the chassis ground, reducing noise and making Slash v2 amplifiers compatible with almost any system, including most factory radios. Fingertip control Tunable frequency filters and a parametric EQ bass boost give you precise control over your bass sound, and the optional RBC-1 wired remote lets you dial in the right amount of thump from the front seat.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Mono-Channel Subwoofer Amplifier: The JL Audio 1000/1v2 is a class D monoblock subwoofer amplifier that is rated at 1,000 Watts RMS x 1-channel in 1.5 to 4-ohm at 20 to 250Hz with a signal-to-noise-ratio of 95 dB and a total harmonic distortion of 0.05% while receiving 11 to 14.5 Volts. The JL Audio subwoofer amplifier's frequency response is limited to the range of 5-250Hz and is not designed for driving midrange speakers or tweeters. Every aspect of the amplifier's operation has been optimized for low-frequency amplification. R.I.P.S. (Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply): R.I.P.S. stands for "Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply" and is a central feature of the JL Audio's Slash v2 amplifier. The JL Audio R.I.P.S. System ensures consistent power delivery over a wide range of battery voltages and load impedances. This technology provides optimum power at any impedance level between 1.5 ohm to 4 ohm per channel and at any vehicle voltage level between 11V and 14.5V. Regulated Power Supply: "Regulated" means that the power supply adjusts its operation so as to maintain the amplifier's rated power output and low distortion operation over a wide range of vehicle voltages (11V-14.5 V). This allows the JL Audio Slash v2 amplifier's the rail voltage and clean power output to remain stable in real-world car-audio systems, resulting in superior fidelity and stability. Intelligent Power Supply: The "Intelligent" portion of the R.I.P.S. System is a circuit that actually monitors output current to optimize the amplifier's output power over a wide range of load impedances (1.5 ohm to 4 ohm per channel). The R.I.P.S. System detects the actual impedance being driven and adjusts output rail voltages to deliver optimum output. The entire process is seamless, automatic, and results in incredible dynamics for satellite channels and consistent power output for a wide range of subwoofer configurations. It also takes into account the real impedance of your car-audio system, rather than relying on often inaccurate assumptions based on a speaker's rated impedance. Monolithic RealSink Plus Advanced Heat Management: This Slash v2 amplifier features a real cast-aluminum heat sink with vertically-oriented fins that are highly effective at dissipating heat from the amplifier via convection and radiation. The design of this heat sink is achieved through extensive finite-element analysis, resulting in an amplifier that keeps cool under the most demanding conditions. If a Slash v2 amplifier should ever reach an unsafe temperature, our unique Advanced Rollback Protection circuit also adjusts power until the amplifier cools down, without ever shutting your music down. As an added cosmetic benefit, the cast-aluminum end-caps of the Slash v2 amplifier replicate one-half of a full heat sink fin so that when two or more amplifiers are mounted end-to-end, you get a totally seamless custom look. Class D Circuitry: This JL Audio Class D subwoofer amplifier utilizes a proprietary Class D circuit. JL Audio's Patented Class D output circuit utilizes a discrete control section and a unique feedback loop design that results in outstanding power regulation and a damping factor greater than 500 at 4 ohms (>250 at 2 ohms). This is vastly higher than other Class D designs and also higher than most Class A/B amplifiers. The benefit of this exclusive JL Audio technology is tight, clean bass reproduction with the efficiency advantage of Class D amplification. Differential-Balance Inputs: The JL Audio amplifier features differential-balanced input architecture to effectively control noise and ensure compatibility with a wide variety of source units, including many OEM systems. Without resorting to line output converters, you can directly connect most OEM source units to the JL Audio amplifier without creating any noise or compatibility issues. Unlike conventional single-ended inputs, the differential-balanced design does not connect one side of the audio signal to chassis ground. This eliminates any voltage sensitivity between one input terminal and ground and greatly reduces the incidence of alternator whine in a typical car audio installation. The Slash v2 amplifier provides range switching on each of its inputs via the "Input Voltage" switch. This permits connection to a wide range of source voltages while retaining excellent sensitivity setting precision. Note: You will need a speaker wire to RCA adaptor (136XDCLR2S, sold separately) to connect this amplifier to your headunit via speaker-level. Flexible Preamp Outputs: The Slash v2 amplifier features flexible preamp outputs that make interconnecting multiple amplifiers simple. The 500/1v2 subwoofer amplifier features fully-independent preamp output filters with independent frequency (40-200 Hz), mode (LP or HP) and slope-selection controls (12 or 24 dB). The preamp outputs can also be configured to track the amplifier's low-pass filter directly or as full-range outputs. Protection Circuitry With Status Indicator Lights: There are four status indicator lights on the top of the amplifier: Power (Green): This LED lights green to indicate that the amplifier is turned on and operating normally. Thermal (Red): This Red LED lights to indicate that the amplifier has exceeded its safe operating temperature, putting the amplifier into a shelf-protection mode, which reduces the power output of the amplifier. The red light will shut off and the amplifier will return to normal, full-power operating mode if the heat sink temperature drops back to a safe level. Low Ohm (Amber): This amber LED lights to indicate that the impedance of the speaker load connected to the amplifier is lower than the optimum impedance load range for the amplifier. When this light is on, a protection circuit engages and reduces the power output of the amplifier. The amber indicator will also light when a short-circuit is detected in the speaker wiring. Low V (Blue): This blue LED lights to indicate any dip in supply voltage below 8 volts. Note: There is only one condition that will shut down the 1000/1v2 completely and that is if the battery voltage of your vehicle drops below 10 volts. Controls Simplified Gain Setting: The amplifier's R.I.P.S. feature also allows for easy gain setup. Because the amplifier will always deliver the same amount of power within its operational range of impedances and supply voltages, the maximum, unclipped output is very predictable. This makes setting the gain level of the amplifier via the input sensitivity control very simple. All you need is Digital AC Voltmeter (142TK12V, sold separately) and a Test CD Disc (503CD104, sold separately) with a sine-wave test-tone recorded at 0 dB reference level in the frequency range to be amplified for that set of channels (50 Hz for subwoofer channels). Active Crossover: The Slash v2 amplifiers provide a comprehensive crossover network to fine tune your system effectively and accurately. The variable filter design employed in the Slash v2 amplifier crossover sections allow you to seamlessly switch slopes, easily change filter frequencies and address what frequencies the preamp outputs will pass. The 1000/1v2 offers the following crossover adjustments. Filter/Slope Mode: The amplifier features low-pass 12dB/octave Butterworth or 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley alignments allowing for more precise integration of subwoofer. You can also turn the amplifier's filter mode off. Variable Frequency: The amplifier offers fully-variable frequency selection from 40-200 Hz on subwoofer channel filters with a detented frequency selection potentiometer for precise adjustment by sight or feel. Bass Controls: The bass control functions on the JL Audio subwoofer amplifier include the following. Variable Bass Boost: The amplifier's variable bass boost features a single, parametric band of equalization with variable "Q" (0.5 - 4.3), center frequency (20 - 80 Hz), and boost (0 to +15dB). Infrasonic Filter: This filter is a defeatable, fully-variable 24dB/octave infrasonic filter with adjustable cutoff frequencies from 15-60 Hz. Ultra-low frequencies that cannot be reproduced by a subwoofer do not become sound but become unnecessary oscillations, which affect sound by causing distortion. These frequencies also waste amplifier power and can cause damage to speakers. Setting the Infrasonic filter switch between 15-60Hz cuts the frequencies below the respective frequency to improve the reproduction performance of the speakers by eliminating harmful distortion. Remote Bass Port: The amplifier is equipped with a connection for a wired Remote Bass Control (136RBC1, sold separately) that allows fully variable boost control from the front of your vehicle. Output Polarity Switch: Depending on the distance relationship of your mid-bass speakers and your subwoofers in your car audio system, it can be desirable to reverse the polarity of the subwoofer system in order to produce a better transition between subwoofer and mid-bass speaker output. The amplifier's Output Polarity switch allows you to perform this polarity inversion with a flip of a switch without removing any wires. Connections Power and Ground: The JL Audio amplifier's set-screw Power and Ground connections are designed to accept 4 AWG power wire. Remote Turn-On: The Slash v2 amplifier's set-screw turn-on lead will accept 18 to 8 AWG wire. Speaker Outputs: The 1000/1v2 amplifier's set-screw speaker terminals will accept 16 to 8 AWG speaker wire. Preamp Inputs: The amplifier features one set of differential-balanced RCA jack inputs. The amplifier's input level can be set to Low (200mV-2V RMS) when connecting the amplifier to a low-level preamp signal or set to High (800mV-8V RMS) when connecting the amplifier to a high-level speaker signal. Preamp Outputs: The amplifier also features one set of preamp outputs so you can send audio to another amplifier in your system. The preamp output is switchable and can be set to a Full-Range, Amp Filter or Out Filter. Note: All inputs, outputs and controls are located on the front side of the amplifier to make installation of the amplifier simple and neat.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Extremely high quality... Written By Beau, Nashville, TN on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 This amplifier is one of the best amps sold today... The raw power that this thing produces is astounding, and it has many settings which can shape bass better than just about any amplifer made. Besides being a JL Audio quality product, one reason this amp is under rated and in a high-class category is that it will maintain over 1000 watts RMS of clean output with any normal voltage & also into 1.5 - 4 ohm impedances. I have this amp driving the CS312RG-w1v2 JL Audio enclosure (three 8 ohm 12" w1v2 subs wired together in a sealed box at 2.7 ohms)...This impedance makes for a higher amplifier damping factor than a 1 or 2 ohm load. I have the amp's gain at the halfway mark and on certain songs I can barely stand to sit in my Explorer- i mean it HOUNDS ! Buy the bass boost knob for it- you'll see why this amp is definitely one to buy... When you merely remove this thing from its box & plastic and feel its weight you'll be proud of your purchase. It's simply JL Audio quality at its finest. 16 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 SOO MUCH POWER Written By kevin, Loudon Virginia on Monday, February 02, 2009 I got this amp and never looked back. It has so much power. I have it on a JL 10inch 3v3. the lights do dim but that is because there is so much power. the only thing was that it requires so much power that I had to get a more powerful alternator because it fried the old one. after that it is the best amp i have ever had and i have gone througt a lot of them. i also have the black one and it looks crazy. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 !!!LOUD AND CLEAN!!! Written By MIKE, augusta, ga on Friday, January 02, 2009 I have this on two alpine type r 12"s. and wow i never heard lows like this. i have a 5 frad cap. and it still dims my lights. this thing is really leanient with the power it needs to produce 1000 watts. my lights go crazy but the music keeps playing clean and loud. planning on putting an extra battery in soon, that should stop my lights from strobing like the cash cab. !!!no regrets!!! this things worth the money. 1000watts of clean power!!!!!! 11 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing Written By quisp, Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 This thing is just absolutely incredible. I originally got the 500/1 since I was unfamiliar with how powerful the JL Audio line might be. I have a single 12w7. The 500/1 is pretty outstanding to be sure and made my windows flex while giving me a back massage in the process. The only problem with the 500/1 was that at the very top when I really wanted more it would distort. Although happy with the 500/1 I decided to trade it in for the 1000/1. I have never heard anything in my life get that loud while remaining clear and undistorted. The power is absolutely fantastic, so much so I can not stand it in my car. Buy this amp and you will be happy. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 WHAT!!! Written By Bama Boi, Tuscaloosa, AL. on Sunday, September 28, 2008 I have this big boy installed in my Avalanche powering 2 12" JL Audio subs. I can say it's definitely putting out 1000 watts unlike some other brands that are putting out less than what it says it does. If you want quality I then go ahead and spend the money and get what it's worth out of this amplifier. Great job JL AUDIO. 18 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
