FERGUSON, ROBERT, businessman, justice of the peace, judge, office holder, and militia officer; b. 17 April 1768 in Logierait, Scotland, son of Adam Ferguson and Marjory Connacher; m. 11 Dec. 1806 Mary Adams, the first English child born on the Restigouche River, N.B., and they had eight sons and three daughters; d. 10 Aug. 1851 in Campbellton, N.B.
Robert Ferguson came to the Restigouche area in 1796 as chief clerk for the mercantile firm established at Martin's Point (Campbellton) in 1794 by his brother Alexander. Upon Alexander's death in 1803 Robert took over the business. By 1805 he was the leading merchant and exporter of fish on the Restigouche and was shipping approximately 1,400 barrels of salmon a year. In later years this branch of the business declined slightly but it was still profitable and during the 1840s Ferguson continued to ship about 1,200 barrels per annum. In 1812 he purchased more than 2,000 acres of land, a sawmill, and several fishing lots from the widow of his former rival, Samuel Lee*, thus becoming the largest landowner in the region. Operating the only grist-mill and sawmill on the river, by the 1820s the firm was buying and exporting square timber.
About 1812, at the village now called Atholville, Ferguson had begun building his own ships to carry his fish and timber to market and, although there are few records of his activity in this sphere, it is known that he built at least three barques, a brig, and two schooners. During the War of 1812 two of his vessels were captured by American privateers and Ferguson, a passenger on one of them, spent some time as a prisoner in Salem, Mass. Shortly after his return, he built an impressive residence, Athol House, and a store which became the business centre of that part of the Restigouche.
In 1813 Ferguson was made a justice of the peace for Northumberland County and in 1827, on the advice of Hugh Munro*, the leading magistrate, he was appointed a justice of the peace as well as a justice of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas for the newly created county of Gloucester. He was to retain these posts until his death. In 1826 he had advertised for sale town lots which eventually formed part of the settlement of Campbellton. One of the founders of the Gloucester Agricultural and Emigrant Society in 1828, and of the Restigouche Agricultural Society in 1840, he served as president of both organizations for many years. In 1831 Ferguson was one of the commissioners charged with laying out the first highway between New Brunswick and Lower Canada. He was colonel of the 1st battalion, Restigouche Regiment, in the 1840s, and a member of the county's first board of health, which was established in 1840. A religious individual, he provided the land for the earliest Presbyterian church on the Restigouche.
Ferguson was a friend of Hugh Munro and the two men belonged to the old guard in the northern part of the province. This group was composed of loyalists and early Scottish settlers who controlled the trade and commerce of the region; they virtually ruled the Acadians in the period 1790–1830, and were also unpopular with the new immigrants, mostly Irish, who began to arrive after the Napoleonic Wars. Their authority was first seriously challenged when William End* assumed the position of county clerk in 1827. End became the champion of the Irish and the Acadians, and Ferguson and Munro tried to have him removed from office. In the Gloucester County elections of 1830, End ran successfully as county clerk against Munro. When End called a meeting of the Court of Quarter Sessions the following year, however, Ferguson (whom End had referred to as "a perjured old villain") and the other magistrates refused to attend. End then appointed new magistrates but Ferguson, Munro, and their colleagues persuaded the government to remove him from his post on the grounds that he was not a resident of the county. Their victory was short-lived; on 1 July 1831 Lord Goderich, the colonial secretary, ordered that he be reappointed. Goderich also directed End to move from Newcastle to Bathurst and to apologize to Ferguson and the other magistrates for having exceeded his authority in replacing them.
Conditions in the northern part of the province were changing in the 1830s and the pre-eminence of men such as Ferguson and Munro was coming to an end as immigration increased. To combat this decline, Ferguson began organizing meetings in 1836 to press for the creation of a new county, one in which he could retain his prominent position. Gloucester County was divided in 1837 and the new county of Restigouche was established. Ferguson continued to be an influential man there and during the 1840s he was known as "the founder and father of Restigouche." From his home, he operated one of the largest farms in the area and all visiting dignitaries, including Lieutenant Governor Sir William MacBean George Colebrooke*, were entertained there. Ferguson, the leader of the business community on the Restigouche from the first decade of the 19th century until his death in 1851, was to be followed by his sons who also occupied prominent positions in the region.

Caffeine, the widely consumed stimulant and igniter of sluggish mornings, has been found to temper taste buds temporarily, making food and drink seem less sweet, according to new Cornell University research.
Caffeine is a powerful antagonist of adenosine receptors, which promote relaxation and sleepiness. Suppressing the receptors awakens people but decreases their ability to taste sweetness -- which, ironically, may make them desire it more.
The research demonstrates taste modulation in the real world, said senior author Robin Dando, assistant professor of food science: "When you drink caffeinated coffee, it will change how you perceive taste -- for however long that effect lasts. So if you eat food directly after drinking a caffeinated coffee or other caffeinated drinks, you will likely perceive food differently."
Dando, along with lead authors Ezen Choo and Benjamin Picket published, "Caffeine May Reduce Perceived Sweet Taste in Humans, Supporting Evidence That Adenosine Receptors Modulate Taste," in the Journal of Food Science.
In the blind study, one group sampled decaffeinated coffee with 200 milligrams of caffeine added in a laboratory setting, making a strong cup of coffee. The stimulant was added to make that group's coffee consistent with real-life amounts of caffeine. The other group drank just decaffeinated coffee. Both groups had sugar added. Panelists who drank the caffeinated brew rated it as less sweet.
In a secondary part of the study, participants disclosed their level of alertness and estimated the amount of caffeine in their coffee. Further, panelists reported the same increase in alertness after drinking either the caffeinated or decaffeinated samples, all the while panelists could not predict if they had consumed the decaffeinated or the caffeinated version.
"We think there might be a placebo or a conditioning effect to the simple action of drinking coffee," said Dando. "Think Pavlov's dog. The act of drinking coffee -- with the aroma and taste -- is usually followed by alertness. So the panelists felt alert even if the caffeine was not there," said Dando.
"What seems to be important is the action of drinking that coffee," Dando said. "Just the action of thinking that you've done the things that make you feel more awake, makes you feel more awake."

The Toyota Camry is one of the most boring cars on the road. How do you unboring it? You make it into a rally car with throwback graphics, knobby tires, fog lights, and turbos under the hood. If this doesn't win Toyota's Dream Build Challenge, then I might start losing faith in car nuts everywhere.
Every year, Toyota gives cars to four teams of people before SEMA, and has them modify them however they see fit. This year there's an off-road Tundra, a 4-Runner for skiing, and something called a Crusher Corolla. Then there's this, the Camry Rally Car, or CamRally, for short. It is, by far, the best car produced in this year's Toyota Dream Build.
The car is the brainchild of NASCAR driver and possibly deranged obviously wonderful man Parker Kligerman. And yes, Parker is also a Jalopnik contributor, so perhaps you're thinking that makes us biased.
Well, maybe it does, but do you see what this is? It's a gosh darn Camry Rally Car. Think about that. It's a Camry, which is the Kenmore fridge of the car world, done up in full rally regalia and it's actually functional. I love when a milquetoast car is taken out of its element and modified into something that it was never meant to be, this Camry does that perfectly.
So what mods does it have? It's Toyota's V6 with some turbos on board and what seems to be an entirely custom exhaust (dig those dual center exits), custom Vogtland suspension, BF Goodrich rubber, rear deck wing, full roll cage, stripped interior, and custom graphics. All of this comes together to create a Camry better than basically any I've ever seen.
Voting is now open on for the Dream Build. A vote for Parker's CamRally is a vote for freedom. A vote for America. A vote for apple pie. A vote for puppies and love. A vote for happiness. But most of all, it proves that if the right person has the right vision and modifies a car, it doesn't matter what they start with, because what they end up with will be spectacular. I'm talking to you, will.i.am.
Vote for Parker's car here until November 4th. Do it.

Inmarsat: Marine, Land Mobile,and Aeronautical Satellite Services
|Inmarsat has
stood at the forefront of mobile satellite services for 30
years. As internationally recognised as pioneers in the field,
they continue to introduce new technologies that redefine the
standard for our industry. Their new Broadband Global Area
Network (BGAN) service, for example, is now enabling TV
broadcasters to beam breaking news 'live via videophone' into
millions of homes. And in future, when you make a mobile phone
call or send a text message from an aircraft, most likely it
will be transmitted via Inmarsat satellites to the ground.
Marine Antenna Systems | Marine Cellular Amplifiers | Satellite Television | Satellite TV Accessories
|Safety First!
For the maritime community, however, Inmarsat's communication and safety services are nothing new. Their lives and livelihoods have depended upon Inmarsat for more than a quarter of a century. Founded in 1979 to ensure that ships could stay in constant touch by telephone, by 1999, they became the first intergovernmental organisation to transform into a private company and, in 2005, were floated on the London Stock Exchange.
Inmarsat I-4's lead the way
The Inmarsat-4 (I-4) series of satellites are the most advanced commercial mobile communications spacecraft of their kind. The three satellites that make up the global I-4 constellation are part of an 11-strong fleet of spacecraft owned and operated by Inmarsat. All the Inmarsat satellites, including the Inmarsat-2 and Inmarsat-3 generations, fly in geosynchronous orbit 35,786km (22,240 statute miles) above the Earth.
Spot beams
Inmarsat's first wholly owned satellites, the Inmarsat-2s, were launched in the early 1990s, and the Inmarsat-3s - the first generation to use spot beam technology - followed later in the decade.
The I-4s set a new benchmark for mobile satellite communications in terms of their power, capacity and flexibility when they first went into orbit in 2005. One I-4 satellite is 60 times more powerful than an Inmarsat-3.
The I-4 series is expected to continue in commercial operation until about 2020.
In the meantime, Inmarsat has entered into agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to become the commercial operator of a new satellite called Alphasat.
The satellite is part of an ESA initiative to develop a new spacecraft platform capable of carrying a large communications payload.
Alphasat is scheduled for completion in 2012 and will supplement the existing I-4 satellites. It will provide service over Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Valencia, Spain: Holiday Exploits
The city of Valencia is the third-largest city in Spain. The city is spread across the Mediterranean coast south of Barcelona. This geographical privilege affords Valencia with beautiful and stunning beaches and coastal fronts and a good climate.
Aside from the pristine beaches, Valencia has everything that you can ask for a holiday destination. It has a rustic countryside lined with rugged mountains and populated by orange groves. And on the urban and modern side, the city is proud to showcase its urban landscape dotted by futuristic architecture. And it also has a colorful and bustling old town to contrast the modernity of the city.
Things to Do in Valencia
1. Soak up the Sun
Since Valencia is on the Mediterranean coast, the city is blessed with beautiful beaches and a nice climate conducive for sunbathing and other beach activities.
Top 5 Beaches in Valencia
- Playa de Malvarrosa
- Playa e Levante o de la arenas
- El Saler
- Devesa
- Puerto de Sagunto Beach
2. Hot Spring Dipping
If you're tired of the same old beaches, you can try hot springs. The hot spring is only 90km north of Valencia. This spot is still unknown to may tourists and travelers, so the place is still pristine and unspoiled. This is perfect if you want to avoid crowds of eager tourists. Or if you are adventurous, you can climb the cliff over the lagoon and jump directly into the bubbling hot spring below.
3. Do the Fallas
Fallas is a local festivity for their patron Saint, Saint Joseph the carpenter. Fallas were the combustible materials burnt during the eve of the festivity. In this festival, you can see huge paper mache models built by the locals, fireworks popping everywhere and lots of dancing and parades on the streets.
4. Shop 'till you Drop
If you love shopping, you can visit Valencia's Central Market, which is located at the Plaza del Mercado, opposite the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange). This market is one of the oldest in Europe and has an outstanding architecture. You can buy anything here from different produce to souvenirs.
Things to See in Valencia
1. City of Arts and Science
This is the famous and most beautiful landmark of the city. It's a mega complex designed by Valencia's own architect, Santiago Calatrava. This architectural wonder has an aquarium, which is the biggest in Europe, Science Museum, planetarium and an IMAX laser cinema.
2. Torres de Quart
Torres de Quart is a magnificent fortress which is part of the old fortification of the city. The walls here bore the scars of the Napoleon's canon balls.
3. Torres de Serranos
Torres de Serranos is one of Valencia's famous landmarks. It is an ancient gateway to the city constructed in Gothic style and it is the largest in Europe.
4. La Lonja de la Seja – Silk Exchange
This magnificent complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was constructed during the 15th century when Valencia was at the summit of its golden age.
5. Cathedral of Santa Maria de Valencia
This is a Gothic-style cathedral constructed between the 13th and 15th century. The Cathedral has in its possession some examples of rare Quattrocento paintings.
Trips to Valencia
Most visitors to the Valencia region stay by the beaches south of Valencia to enjoy a week or two in the Spanish sun. However, there is plenty of reason to schedule a city break to Valencia itself. Do the falls, explore the food or see the sights of the Valencia Capital. Of course, if you are staying in one of the sea side beach resorts south of Valencia on the Costa Blanca such as Denia, Gandia, Altea or maybe in a holiday rental in Javea, Calpe or Moraira – a day trip or weekend away from the beach to enjoy the wonders of Valencia during your vacation might be the perfect variation thats puts the icing on the cake and makes it your dream holiday in Spain

I'm sorry your account got stolen, and I'm glad you got it back and stuff was restored.
Now, If I can as one silly question, what leads you to believe your computer was "hacked" ? There's a rather significant difference between someone having their computer attacked by a computer hacker and some douche leeching logs from your keyboard with a virus you unfortunately didn't get rid of in time.
Thats coming from someone who has had his own wow account stolen in the past.
And that's not an attack on you, Darraxus, I'm just peeved by the "hacked" argument people use when they lose their wow accounts to keyloggers.

USE THT DAMN AUTHENTICATOR BRO!!!! I told you this like two months ago.

Hes not perfect. You arent either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isnt going to quote poetry, hes not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Dont hurt him, dont change him, and dont expect for more than he can give. Dont analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when hes not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys dont exist, but theres always one guy that is perfect for you.

Is Your Surname on the Map?
6 comments:
I took this baby for a spin and found, for the most part, what I already know: today's Jolletts are in New York, Maryland, and California. I was surprised AND disappointed not to find any in France. I guess they all left. Thanks for the link!ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you checked it out, Wendy. Actually, if I understand the fine print on that website correctly, it ought to be showing us what the current situation is...so what you already know should align with their data. At least that's a plus for the confidence level, even if it popped your bubble that there might be more Jolletts in France. So much for staying with family on your next trip to Paris, eh?Delete
My Surname, Harrigill did show up from your source, but only in places I already knew about. Still, a good tip. I will check out other surnames in my family tree. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
For those of us on top of the game of genealogical pursuits, I guess a program like that wouldn't find any way to surprise us. But it is a fun little device to play around with. Who knows--it may even come up with a surprise bit of data from time to time!Delete
That was a fun link..I have an unusual maiden name..and it was right on for the most part..other than the reference to Sweden that has me wondering?? It even picked up my cousins in Alaska..:)ReplyDeleteReplies
I have some really rare surnames in my father's line, so I'll have to see if I can stump the thing with names like that, too. Interesting that the Swedish link for your maiden name was unexpected. Any possibility of spelling variations?Delete

South Pole Telescope scientists have detected for the first time a subtle distortion in the oldest light in the universe, which may help reveal secrets about the earliest moments in the universe's formation.
The scientists observed twisting patterns in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background—light that last interacted with matter very early in the history of the universe, less than 400,000 years after the Big Bang.
These patterns, known as "B modes," are caused by gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when the trajectory of light is bent by massive objects, much like a lens focuses light. Last week, Physics World magazine heralded the result as one of the top 10 physics breakthroughs of 2013.
A multi-institutional collaboration of researchers led by John Carlstrom, the S. Chandrasekhar Distinguished Service Professor in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, made the discovery. They announced their findings in a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters—using the first data from SPTpol, a polarization-sensitive camera installed on the telescope in January 2012.
"The detection of B-mode polarization by South Pole Telescope is a major milestone, a technical achievement that indicates exciting physics to come," said Carlstrom, who also is deputy director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics.
The cosmic microwave background is a sea of photons (light particles) left over from the Big Bang that pervades all of space, at a temperature of minus 270 degrees Celsius—a mere 3 degrees above absolute zero. Measurements of this ancient light have already given physicists a wealth of knowledge about the properties of the universe. Tiny variations in temperature of the light have been painstakingly mapped across the sky by multiple experiments, and scientists are gleaning even more information from polarized light.
Light is polarized when its electromagnetic waves are preferentially oriented in a particular direction. Light from the cosmic microwave background is polarized mainly due to the scattering of photons off of electrons in the early universe, through the same process by which light is polarized as it reflects off the surface of a lake or the hood of a car. The polarization patterns that result are of a swirl-free type, known as "E modes," which have proven easier to detect than the fainter B modes, and were first measured a decade ago by a collaboration of researchers using the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer, another UChicago-led experiment.
Simple scattering can't generate B modes, which instead emerge through a more complex process—hence scientists' interest in measuring them. Gravitational lensing, it has long been predicted, can twist E modes into B modes as photons pass by galaxies and other massive objects on their way toward earth. This expectation has now been confirmed.
To tease out the B modes in their data, the scientists used a previously measured map of the distribution of mass in the universe to determine where the gravitational lensing should occur. They combined their measurement of E modes with the mass distribution to provide a template of the expected twisting into B modes. The scientists are currently working with another year of data to further refine their measurement of B modes.
The careful study of such B modes will help physicists better understand the universe. The patterns can be used to map out the distribution of mass, thereby more accurately defining cosmologically important properties like the masses of neutrinos, tiny elementary particles prevalent throughout the cosmos.
Similar, more elusive B modes would provide dramatic evidence of inflation, the theorized turbulent period in the moments after the Big Bang when the universe expanded extremely rapidly. Inflation is a well-regarded theory among cosmologists because its predictions agree with observations, but thus far there is not a definitive confirmation of the theory. Measuring B modes generated by inflation is a possible way to alleviate lingering doubt.
"The detection of a primordial B-mode polarization signal in the microwave background would amount to finding the first tremors of the Big Bang," said the study's lead author, Duncan Hanson, a postdoctoral scientist at McGill University in Canada.
B modes from inflation are caused by gravitational waves. These ripples in space-time are generated by intense gravitational turmoil, conditions that would have existed during inflation. These waves, stretching and squeezing the fabric of the universe, would give rise to the telltale twisted polarization patterns of B modes. Measuring the resulting polarization would not only confirm the theory of inflation—a huge scientific achievement in itself—but would also give scientists information about physics at very high energies—much higher than can be achieved with particle accelerators.
The measurement of B modes from gravitational lensing is an important first step in the quest to measure inflationary B modes. In inflationary B mode searches, lensing B modes show up as noise. "The new result shows that this noise can be accounted for and subtracted off so that scientists can search for and hopefully measure the inflationary B modes underneath," Hanson said. "The lensing signal itself can also be used by itself to learn about the distribution of mass in the universe."

What is a good concealed weapon for me?
Answering that question is like answering, "what's the best car for me?" There's just so many options – price range, size, shape, revolver, automatic, etc.
We only buy handguns that are great for concealed carry – be sure to check out our online gun store!
What is the difference between a CCW, CWP, and concealed carry permit?
Nothing. All of these names refer to a license to carry a concealed weapon. Here are some common names for a carry permit:
- Concealed carry permit
- Concealed carry license
- Concealed weapons permit
- Concealed weapons license
I want to get a conceal carry permit (CCW, CWP). How do I know if I am eligible or not?
Here is a full list of requirements to get a CCW in Florida.
The eligibility requirements to get a CCW (CWP) or concealed weapons permit are as follows:
- You must be 21 years of age or older.
- You must be able to demonstrate competency with a firearm.
- Unless you are serving overseas in the United States Armed Forces, you must currently reside in the United States (US) AND be a US citizen or deemed a lawful permanent resident alien by Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
Here's a test you can take to see if you are able to get a CCW permit.
Possible reasons you would be denied a CWP (concealed weapons permit:
- The physical inability to handle a firearm safely
- A felony conviction (unless civil and firearm rights have been restored by the convicting authority).
- Having adjudication withheld or sentence suspended on a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence unless three years have elapsed since probation or other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled.
- A conviction for a misdemeanor crime of violence in the last three years.
- A conviction for violation of controlled substance laws or multiple arrests for such offenses.
- A record of drug or alcohol abuse.
- Two or more DUI convictions within the previous three years.
- Being committed to a mental institution or adjudged incompetent or mentally defective.
- Failing to provide proof of proficiency with a firearm.
- Having been issued a domestic violence injunction or an injunction against repeat violence that is currently in force.
- Renouncement of U.S. citizenship.
- A dishonorable discharge from the armed forces.
- Being a fugitive from justice.
Where can I carry a concealed weapon?
You can carry a concealed weapon almost anywhere. Here are places you cannot carry a concealed firearm in Florida:
- Government buildings (post office, schools, courtrooms, etc)
- Bars (or establishments that sell mostly alcohol)
If a business has a sign on the door that prohibits firearms in their building, is it a crime for me to enter while I'm carrying concealed?
No. It is not a crime to enter the building.
A business cannot remove your right to the second amendment with a sign on their door, however, if someone notices your firearm and asks you to leave, you must leave the building immediately without being rude or causing a scene. If you fail to leave the building, you will be charged with trespassing – and if you trespass with a firearm, you're in pretty bad shape.
In every movie theater in Citrus County, there is a sign outside the door that states firearms and other concealed weapons are not allowed. I actively choose to ignore that sign – because I'd rather be" tried by 12 than carried by 6." What happened in Colorado isn't going to happen on my watch!
Which Concealed Carry Class Should I Take?
Hands down, our course is the best concealed carry class on the planet. We offer way more information than most classes.
Do I Need a Concealed Carry License to Have a Gun in My Vehicle?
No. Here in Florida, if you are lawfully allowed to own a handgun, you may have a concealed gun in your glove box or center console at any time. It can be loaded and there is no requirement to have your gun in a holster.

Both influenza and the common cold are viral respiratory infections (they affect the nose, throat, and lungs). Viruses are spread from person to person through airborne droplets that are sneezed out or coughed up by an infected person. In some cases, the viruses can be spread when a person touches an infected surface (e.g., doorknobs, countertops, telephones) and then touches his or her nose, mouth, or eyes. As such, these illnesses are most easily spread in crowded conditions such as schools.
Influenza is commonly referred to as "the flu." Each year, 10% to 20% of Canadians are stricken with influenza. Although most people recover fully, depending on the severity of the flu season, it can result in an average of 20,000 hospitalizations and approximately 4000 to 8000 deaths annually in Canada. Deaths due to the flu are found mostly among high-risk populations, such as those with other medical conditions (such as diabetes or cancer) or weakened immune systems, seniors, or very young children. There are 3 types of influenza viruses: A, B, and C. Type A influenza causes the most serious problems in humans.
There are over 200 different known cold viruses, but most colds (30% to 40%) are caused by rhinoviruses. In Canada, the peak times for colds are at the start of school in the fall, in mid-winter, and again in early spring. Children catch approximately 8 colds per year, adults catch roughly 4 per year, and seniors about 2 per year.
Many people confuse the flu with a bad cold. The following table highlights the differences between influenza and the common cold:
|Usually present, high (102°F to 104°F or 38°C to 41°C); lasts 3 to 4 days
|Very common (can be severe)
|Aches and pains
|Common and often severe
|Fatigue and weakness
|Starts early, can be severe, and can last up to 14 to 21 days
|Extreme exhaustion
|Very common at the start
|Stuffy nose
|Sore throat
|Chest discomfort, cough
|Mild to moderate, hacking cough
|Can lead to pneumonia or respiratory failure; can worsen a current chronic condition; can be life-threatening
|Can lead to sinus congestion or earache
People infected with an influenza or cold virus become contagious 24 hours after the virus enters the body (often before symptoms appear). Adults remain infectious (can spread the virus to others) for about 6 days, and children remain infectious for up to 10 days.

We've all witnessed how Mother Nature works in mysterious ways, but who knew she was a World Cup soccer fan?
Just three days prior to the Russian national soccer team's exciting quarterfinal match against Croatia in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Russian mining giant Alrosa discovered a diamond that looks amazingly like a soccer ball.
"Nature creates a variety of bizarre forms, but for the first time we've found a diamond in the shape of a soccer ball," Alrosa general director Sergey Ivanov said in a press release. "We hope that this is a good sign on the eve of the performance of the Russian national team in the quarterfinals."
Igor Orlov, the governor of the Arkhangelsk region where the diamond was mined, recommended that the diamond be named "Igor Akinfeev" to honor Russia's star goalkeeper, who saved two penalty kicks in Russia's overtime win against Spain.
"It is noteworthy that the diamond was discovered on the eve of the quarterfinals, where our team made its way thanks in part to the brilliant game of Igor Akinfeev," Orlov said.
The host Russian team nearly pulled off a stunning upset in the quarterfinals, but lost to Croatia in a penalty shootout.
The half-carat diamond — which displays a similar shape and black-and-white coloration of a standard soccer ball — was plucked from Alrosa's Karpinskaya-1 pipe in Russia's Arkhangelsk region on Wednesday, July 4.
With more than $5 billion in sales annually, Alrosa has maximized its exposure as one of the main sponsors of the FIFA World Cup 2018. Prior to the tournament, which will crown a victor this Sunday, the mining company introduced its "football" collection of 32 round polished diamonds. Each diamond weighs 0.3 carats and represents one of the teams of the international tournament. The collection will be sold at an auction in Moscow with the results being announced on July 30.
Headlining the football collection is a special unpolished stone weighing 76.53 carats. Alrosa encouraged fans to name the super-sized diamond via an online contest.
The French national team will challenge the winner of today's match between England and Croatia for the championship on Sunday.

Top GOP Ad-Maker Fired Via Email at Elsass' Firm | Shop Talk
A top Republican media consultant and two associates were suddenly terminated earlier this month from The Strategy Group for Media, a prominent GOP advertising firm.
Until recently, Nick Everhart was not just the president of the firm, he was one of the most prolific ad-makers in GOP politics. And now he is out at the SGM, a firm run by CEO Rex Elsass.
The Ohio-based company made television spots for Republicans all over the ballot, and Everhart was at the center of many of those productions. But that changed with a late-night email, according to a message Everhart sent to his GOP contacts and that was obtained by CQ Roll Call.
"After being forced to sign a non-compete 12 days earlier Rex fired myself, Matt Parker, & PJ Wenzel (the founders of the phone company Frontporch Strategies that we'd just bought) last Saturday night at 10:08PM via email from a lawyer," Everhart wrote, referring to the April 6 missive that ended his time at the SGM. "12 years of commitment, loyalty, & work just tossed aside."
Everhart declined to comment to CQ Roll Call, but his email to colleagues quickly spread around. Nearly every Republican operative CQ Roll Call contacted in Washington and elsewhere had either seen or heard about Everhart's email.
"He was fired with cause," SGM Chief Creative Officer Brian J. Berry said in an April 19 interview. "Just like any business in America, we have standards and rules. If those are violated, we take appropriate action."
Berry declined to discuss further the cause for termination. A request to interview Elsass was returned by Berry.
The SGM is a dominant force in Republican politics, counting many House and Senate members as clients. Last cycle, it aided seven freshmen and more than 20 incumbents with their victories, according to the firm's website.
"They are one of the major GOP firms now," a GOP strategist said of the SGM. "You look at any sort of measure of their client list and where they do races, and they're up there."
But Elsass has been a controversial figure before, and Republicans have registered several complaints against him. In a 2007 GOP House primary, Elsass used B-roll footage of a former client's commercial shoot in negative ads for another client.
Recently, Republicans griped over the firm's work for then-Rep. Todd Akin, who ran for Senate in Missouri in 2012. Akin's team failed to contain the political fallout from his infamous "legitimate rape" comment, and soon his candidacy became a contagion that hurt Republicans in other states and races.
Everhart's separation is sudden, especially given that Elsass elevated him to president of the firm 13 months ago. Elsass crowed about him in a March 16, 2012, news release still on the company website, writing that Everhart "earned his way to the top" of the SGM.
"I'm just stunned, given that he was just recently promoted," a competitor said.
This week, the SGM struck a different tone on Everhart.
"All I know is that if company rules and procedures are violated, then an employee forfeits their right to be on staff," Berry said. "No matter if they've been there one day or 19 years."
New Party Line in the Old Line
Maryland Republicans selected a new chairwoman, real estate agent Diana Waterman, on April 20 to finish the term of their former head, Alex Mooney.
Waterman and her executive director, David Ferguson, plan to implement a long-term strategy to rebuild the state party with an eye on 2020 — the cycle before the decennial redistricting process begins again.
Republicans remain furious about how Democrats redrew the state legislative and congressional boundaries in 2011. They hope that with more Republicans in the legislature, and possibly in the governor's mansion, Republicans can "reverse course" on the redistricting process, Ferguson said in an interview.
To accomplish this, the duo plans to focus on downballot races for the legislature and county offices in a reverse-coattails mission. The strategy will push local candidates to build bridges with voters that will help Republicans statewide and in the 6th District, which is a marginally competitive Democratic seat.
The beleaguered Maryland GOP boasts only one Republican member of Congress. Democrats have dominated state politics there for a generation.
Waterman lives on the Eastern Shore. She served as the interim chairwoman during the time between Mooney's resignation and the April 20 chairman elections.
Ray of Light
Ben Ray, former press secretary to Sen. Joe Donnelly of Indiana, is the new director of rapid response for the North Carolina Democratic Party.
A Kentucky native, Ray's new gig marks his third stint at a state party. Previously, he worked for the South Carolina and Indiana Democratic parties.
Stepping Stone-Ridge
The Stoneridge Group, a Republican firm in Georgia, hired Anthony Bonna as senior digital strategist.
Bonna will be based in Orlando, Fla. Previously, he was Harris Media's Florida director, working with Florida Republicans Rep. John L. Mica and former Rep. Allen B. West. In 2010, Bonna was a senior researcher for Republican Gov. Rick Scott's gubernatorial campaign.
Haley's Comet
Democratic spokeswoman Haley Morris joined Rep. Gary Peters' office last week as his new communications director. Peters is the top Michigan Democrat considering a bid for retiring Sen. Carl Levin's seat in 2014.
Most recently, Morris helped freshman Rep. Bill Enyart, D-Ill., set up his office on Capitol Hill. In 2012, she served as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Midwestern press secretary. Prior to that gig, she worked on campaigns in Ohio and Wisconsin and for Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.
How Sweeney It Is
Former Rhode Island GOP Executive Director Patrick Sweeney has joined Cranston Mayor Allan Fung's burgeoning GOP gubernatorial campaign, according to WPRI television affiliate.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee, an independent, is up for re-election in 2014. Former state Auditor General Ernie Almonte filed to run for the Democratic nomination nearly a year ago. State Treasurer Gina Raimondo is also mulling a Democratic bid.

Jogging, as probably everybody knows, is a form of running that takes a slower, more leisurely pace. Its intention is to enhance fitness without the higher-impact effects associated with all-out running. According to Wikipedia, there's no standard speed distinction that separates running from jogging, although one definition characterizes jogging as less than six miles per hour.
Paths for jogging are currently available at these parks:
Please contact or visit the park of your choice for additional information.

LLC, Business License, Incorporation
Nevada remains one of our most popular states for incorporation and LLC formation. With only the 35th largest population in the United States, Nevada has a thriving business community. Some of the largest U.S. companies, including Harrah's Entertainment, MGM Mirage, and Las Vegas Sands, maintain their headquarters in Nevada. This state also services many small businesses, particularly in major industries like tourism, mining, and manufacturing.
If you have decided that the protection of the corporate form is the right move for you and your company, there are myriad reasons and benefits to consider incorporating in Nevada. incorporate.com can help you through the often-complicated process of incorporation.
General Nevada Incorporation Information
Prior to incorporating in Nevada, business owners must have a business license. While most business licenses are city-, county-, or industry-based, Nevada is one of only five U.S. states that require such a license for business owners who intend to incorporate. incorporate.com can help business owners research the process of obtaining a business license. An LLC or Corporation in Nevada is also required to designate a Registered Agent. incorporate.com offers Nevada Registered Agent services to ensure that all official state and paperwork is forwarded to you.
Nevada Articles of Incorporation
Once a business license has been obtained, you will need to create articles of incorporation and corporate bylaws. incorporate.com can assist your business in writing these articles and bylaws, as well as in the process of selecting and registering a unique name for the corporation. In Nevada, if the name of a business is a natural person's name, the state requires that the business's name be followed by an entity indicator such as "Inc.," "LLC," "Limited," "Corporation," or any appropriate designation or its abbreviation.
Nevada Incorporation FAQs
Why Incorporate in Nevada?
Incorporating in the state of Nevada offers business owners significant benefits, such as no corporate income tax, no taxes on corporate shares and no annual franchise tax. Additionally, Nevada corporation law was based on the Delaware model to minimize the time, cost and risks of commercial litigation.
How to Incorporate in Nevada?
incorporate.com can help you through the often-complicated steps of forming a corporation in Nevada.
- Choosing a Corporation Name – Nevada has certain requirements when it comes to the name of your corporation. When setting up a Nevada corporation, it is important that the general public will not confuse your business name with any name of a currently owned limited liability company, business trust, corporation, or limited partnership. Restricted Designations – Certain words are restricted and cannot be used with your Nevada company formation unless approved by the state. incorporate.com currently holds a list of all restricted names and can help you avoid using any of these words or phrases by doing the research for you.
- Officers and Directors – The director of your corporation will need to be a minimum of eighteen years old at the time of incorporation.

Nevada is home to Las Vegas as well as to some of the world's largest businesses as well as a wide range of mid-size and small businesses. Regardless of your company's size, incorporate.com can help you through the process of forming an LLC in Nevada.
Advantages and Benefits of Forming a Nevada LLC
Forming a Nevada LLC has many benefits for the average business owner. Nevada does not impose a franchise tax on LLCs. and there are no fees on company shares. Additional Nevada LLC advantages include the fact that the state does not require business owners, shareholders, or members to be Nevada residents. Nevada also allows LLCs to have noneconomic members who do not own a portion of the company, but who still have the same voting rights.
One more benefit of forming Nevada LLC is that the state does not impose a personal income tax or franchise tax on limited liability companies in the state.
General Nevada LLC Formation Information
Plans for forming an LLC in Nevada begin with choosing a business name. This name must be different from other business entities in existence. In Nevada, a person cannot use their natural name as the name of their company, unless that name is appended with either "Limited" or "LLC."
Once a name has been selected and registered, LLC members must be appointed. Nevada law requires that LLCs have at least one member or manager and that all members are 18 years of age or older. Member and managers do not have to live in the state of Nevada; however, member names must be listed in the LLC's Articles of Organization.
incorporate.com can assist you in selecting a company name and performing the necessary research to ensure that name is not in use by another company. incorporate.com can help with the writing and filing the new Nevada LLC's articles of Organization.
Additional Nevada LLC Fees, Filings & Forms
After your Nevada LLC has been formed, an additional filing is required on or before the last day of the first month after filing your business's articles of organization. A list of LLC managers and members is due 30 days after an LLC has been formed in Nevada.
The state also calls for LLCs to submit an annual report each year. The fee to file this report in Nevada is $125.
Compare Nevada vs. Delaware LLC
Recently, Nevada has become one of the most popular states where businesses choose to form an LLC. For years, business owners considered Delaware the top choice, but this is changing.. Nevada has been working on duplicating Delaware's business-friendly attitude to encourage business owners to choose Nevada over Delaware.
Delaware has a strong business court system capable of handling complex legal matters. For this reason, Delaware is an attractive option for larger business entities, fast-growing companies, or start-up companies with potential for fast growth. However, if your LLC has little likelihood of fostering any complex legal issues in the future, then a Nevada LLC may be a good choice.
Both Nevada and Delaware allow for "series LLCs," a unique designation that allows companies to further divide and protect a variety of assets without having to form additional entities. A series LLC allows for multiple members or business lines to be grouped under a common banner. Additionally, a series LLC structure can provide businesses with reduced costs on filing fees, protection of assets, and multiple business purposes collected under a common business name.
If you've decided that a Nevada LLC registration and designation best fits your business needs, call incorporate.com to help you through the process of forming your new Nevada LLC. We can assist you with the required paperwork and filing in a timely manner.
Business License
Before you can legally open your business in Nevada, you will need a Nevada state business license. Whereas most licenses are county, city, or industry-based, Nevada is one of the few U.S. states that require a state-issued business license to incorporate, on top of any local or municipal business licenses that may be required.
Nevada Business Registration Information
Obtaining a business license in Nevada also requires an understanding of the state's tax registration requirements and any necessary permits. The type of license, permit – if any – and tax registration will depend on the type of business you plan to operate. incorporate.com can research this information for you. Our experts stay current on regulatory changes that may affect your business.
Nevada Business License Application Fee
In order to obtain a business license in Nevada, the state requires $200 at the time of application. The license must be renewed each year with an annual fee. Failure to submit this annual fee by the required due date will result in a $100 penalty on top of the past-due annual fee.
The Location of Your Business in NV
The location of your business in the state of Nevada may dictate different licensing needs.
Las Vegas Business License in Nevada State
For example, you may believe that you need a Las Vegas business license, but many Las Vegas mailing addresses actually fall within the Clark County jurisdiction.
incorporate.com can aid your research as to which jurisdictions apply to your business before you apply for your Nevada business license.
Reno Business License in Nevada State
Businesses in Reno, NV require an inspection in order to obtain a business license. This process will include dealing with the building department, the fire department, and possibly environmental control. The city collects a fee at the time your business license application is processed and an additional fee for the inspection process.
Nevada Business License Exemptions
Certain businesses, such as nonprofits and corporations sole, do not have to acquire a Nevada business license. However, certain other types of businesses may not need to obtain a Nevada state business license, but must still fill out the application (without accompanying fees) with information as to why they may be exempt.

After Beyoncé and Jay-Z were photographed vacationing in Cuba on their wedding anniversary earlier this week, government officials and activist groups are criticizing their judgement and asking that the naure of their trip be further investigated.
Two Republican lawmakers are asking a government agency to look into their trip. Florida Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart wrote a letter to the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. "Despite the clear prohibition against tourism in Cuba, numerous press reports described the couple's trip as tourism, and the Castro regime touted it as such in its propaganda," they wrote.
When Fidel Castro took power in Cuba in 1959, Americans were banned from traveling and spending money there.
The Obama administration lifted part of the restrictions on travel to Cuba in 2012. New guidelines require that vacationers follow strict itineraries and are limited to "people-to-people" travel with educational exchange.
Cuba Democracy Advocates in Washington, D.C., a group dedicated to promoting democracy in the Caribbean country, has also criticized the power couple for vacationing in the communist nation. Executive Director, Mauricio Claver-Carone, told TMZ, "There are women getting beaten on a daily basis, women who are being jailed for no reason … people are fighting for their freedom. It's extremely insensitive."
While visiting Havana, the Carters dined at top restaurants and visited local historical sites. The couple has not responded to the criticism.
Do you feel their visit to Cuba was politically insensitive? Tell us your thoughts below.

Three years, Three things blogging has taught me and Three gifts…
I hadn't planned to post about this occasion, but then I realized not doing so went against my strongly held belief that all birthdays are special and need to be celebrated. So after stopping to give myself a little pat on the back for posting at least 5 days a week for 3 years running (no vacation or sick days!), I stopped to consider what I've learned in my 3 years…
#1 Every gardener suffers from zone envy…or maybe more accurately plant envy. And I live in a pretty damn fine place to be a gardener. Californians yearn to grow Hostas and Spring blooming bulbs, Arizonians want to grow Gunneras, Texans desire Japanese Forest Grass, and Canadians lust after Agaves. Here in Portland I can grow all of these, plus I have a riches of fantastic nurseries to shop at and our weather is relatively good to gardeners (no drought, no single digit winter temperatures or regular triple digits in the summer). Of course you will still hear me complain about the weather here in Oregon on occasion, but blogging has helped me realize how good I've got it.
#2 You never know who's reading your blog and where those "introductions" might take you. Because of blogging I met my plant lust business partners Megan and Patricia, my friend JJ whom I'm going to San Francisco with, and Pam from Austin, TX who came to Portland last summer for a visit. Through our blogs I met Ryan, Derek and Scott with whom I've gone on two fun-filled horticultural adventures (and we're planning our third). I've met local plant and nursery celebrities and gotten to visit amazing private gardens. Blogging can open doors, I've had fun stepping through them to see what's on the other side.
#3 Always have your camera with you. You can never anticipate how your readers will react to a post. Blog for fun, if you're not enjoying it what's the point? Okay I cheated a little with three points for #3…oh well.
Now it's time for the best part of birthdays, the presents! (everyone loves presents right?) First one for me…I went back to Garden Fever and bought the 'Frosty Blue' Agave ovatifolia…after all I couldn't disappoint you guys!
And now presents for you…I've been the lucky recipient of more than one "swag bag" in recent months. While all of the contents are appreciated some just haven't been a great fit for me. Since I imagine are plenty of people out there who could be enjoying them I'm giving away one copy each of:
the naturescaping workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide for Bringing Nature to Your Backyard, by Beth O'Donnell Young and Karen Bussolini
My Garden, the City and Me: Rooftop Adventures in the Wilds of London, by Helen Babbs
Fruit Trees in Small Spaces: Abundant Harvests from Your Own Backyard, by Colby Eierman
Click on the title to be taken to the Timber Press website where you can read more about each book. To be entered in the drawing you must live in the continental United States (sorry!) and comment on this post with the name (or names) of the titles you would like to win. You can name one, two or all three…just let me know which drawing(s) you want to be a part of. If I draw a name that has already won one book in this contest I will discard that name and draw another, that way three different people will win. Drawing will be held on Friday the 16th, winners announced on Saturday the 17th.
Good luck and please keep coming back for more dangerous gardening adventures as year #4 kicks off tomorrow. I wouldn't still be blogging if not for you all!

Zone envy... that puts it perfectly! In my case, it might be a little worse because for most of my life I actually gardened just south of Portland. So happy blog-birthday. From your blog, it's clear you're making the most of your versatile zone :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I recently met a gardener who moved here from central California, she was so excited about all the things show could grow here now...made me think about all the times I've yearned for a California garden. It's good to be happy with what you've got.Delete
Yeah!!! Happy Danger Garden Birthday to you!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Lauren!Delete
I don't actually want any of the books you listed. I just wanted to say Happy Blog Birthday! I've met great people through blogging too. You've introduced me to some interesting plants that I never would have considered growing in my garden otherwise.ReplyDeleteReplies
That is a wonderful thing to hear (that you've discovered interesting plants through my blog), thanks Allison!Delete
Happy three years!ReplyDelete
Without your blog I'd not be ordering a bunch of Agaves this spring. Just documenting in case I become addicted to them. The Internet will always remember who got me hooked. :-)
(I'd be interested in the fruit tree book, but since I've already won a book from you it doesn't seem fair to include me in the drawing.)Replies
Nonsense! You're entered in the fruit tree book drawing. And I have no problem being the cause of an Agave addiction, in fact it makes me down right proud...Delete
Happy Anniversary! Also I will have you know that I have ZERO desire to grow Hostas and am insulted that you implied otherwise. =PReplyDeleteReplies
Hehehe, but you aren't TRULY a Californian are you? (transplant). As I've said before I love that you are so fully embracing your climate. Anyone who can be growing the plants you can should be!Delete
Congratulations!!! You mentioned the positive impact blogging has had on your own life. However, we--your readers--have benefited even more from your posts. Your blog has been a neverending source of inspiration for me--and yes, I do occasionally feel a twinge of envy at the things you can grow. But I've got it pretty good myself, so I'm not complaining.ReplyDelete
Keep up the excellent work! My life would be poorer if danger garden disappeared :-).
As for the drawing, I'd loved to be entered for "My Garden, the City and Me."

Thank you Gerhard! Coming someone who has such a varied and enviable plant collection, and the knowledge to back it up, the idea that I could at all inspire you is fabulous.Delete
Wooot!! Happy blog birthday Danger Garden, congrats on 3 amazing years! Looking forward to seeing what wonderful adventures await you this year! Cheers Julia xxReplyDelete
Congratulations on your third year anniversary of blogging! I always enjoy reading your posts and seeing all of the gardens and plants you feature, which are all fab!. Even better is that our climate and the types of plants you like are generally similar to ours so there is mutuality in that respect.ReplyDelete
Your blog is inspirational to say the least, and looking forward to what's ahead as you enter year four :) Keep up the good work!!Replies
Oh yes reading your blog I do feel that "hey if they can grow that so can I" connection. Of course then there are all of the amazing Schefflera that make me drool....Delete
Happy Birthday Danger Garden!! I always learn something about a unique plant when I visit here, not to mention all the gardens you have visited and shared with us. I do believe some of my favorite ones are the ones you photograph from the sidewalk....I would love to read the Rooftop Adventures book.ReplyDelete
Hi Loree,ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your fine blog and fun style! Three years...does it seem like it's been that long? To me, time is a funny thing. I can't remember NOT blogging. About that new gift: A.o.'Frosty Blue' is also on my short list of 'MOST WANTED' agaves. Looks awesome and you deserve it.
Yes, you do live in a wonderful place to garden.
Your friend,
David/:0) Tropical Texana/HoustonReplies
Time is funny, I agree. In some ways it seems like I've always had this blogging outlet and sometimes I am amazed at the fact I haven't run out of things to say. Hope you find your 'frosty blue' soon!Delete
Congratulations! What happens when the blog turns 20? You'll have to think of 20 things.ReplyDeleteReplies
Uhm...seeds! Agave seeds for my first twenty commenters! (one each of course)Delete
Congratulations on three blog years, Loree! As one who was lucky enough to discover your blog in its first year, I've enjoyed tagging along on a lot of your journey so far. You open my eyes to wonderful new plants, nurseries and gardens every year and your enthusiasm is totally contagious!ReplyDelete
I would love to win My Garden, The City and Me.Replies
I started this post thinking I'd thank the folks who have been here with me, commenting since the beginning, like you! Just to test my memory I went back and started reading some of the old comments. Then I started to get sad (okay not really sad...) that there were so many people who used to comment who don't anymore and I wondered what happened to them. You and Pam have been here since the early days...and although I didn't keep searching to find her first comment I know Ricki's been around for most of the trip too. Thank you Jane!Delete

I've only recently discovered your blog, but I'm quite enjoying your photos of plants too spiny for me (or my rambunctious dog). We may have almost opposite plant collection obsessions, which makes it all the more fun for me to see yours.ReplyDelete
For the giveaway, I'd love to enter for the Fruit Trees in Small Spaces- I have a copy out from the library and I'm sad that I'll have to give it back soon.Replies
I'm glad you can appreciate the opposites! Aren't library books the best, that is until you have to give them back.Delete
Happy 3rd Blogaversary Danger Garden! I am thrilled to see that you returned and spoiled yourself with a beautiful Agave 'Frosty Blue,' it deserves no better home! I willfully admit that few blogs that I read instill in me a severe case of zonal jealousy than yours, which in recent years has helped me to appreciate the great diversity that exists! Here's hoping we get another 30 years worth of posts!ReplyDeleteReplies
30 years!? God can you even imagine what the internet and our computers will be like in 30 years? I'll probably just have to think a blog post and it will appear! Oh and of course I'll just take photos with my eyes and magically upload them. Haha.Delete
Part of me is sorry to have caused zonal jealousy, part of me understands it's not an entirely bad thing...
Blogaversary..I love that! Yes, so happy you are holding strong as your blog is a breath of fresh yet dangerous air! I love your generousity with sharing photos and not being afraid to sneak around neighborhood gardens. You inspire me.ReplyDelete
I'd love to be entered into the drawing for 'Fruit Trees in Small Spaces'.Replies
I really didn't expect so many people to say that my blog inspires them. I so appreciate that!!!Delete
Five days a week for three years -- never mind the pat on the back, it's time for champagne! I so look forward to a daily dose of DG. No books, just congratulations!ReplyDeleteReplies
Champagne, why didn't I think of that! It would have gone so well with my raspberry, toast and veggie-sausage patty breakfast. Maybe next year...Delete
Happy Blogaversary to you and your great blog.ReplyDelete
Talk about being happy with the plants you can grow! Thank you for helping to open my eyes to the world of spiky plants that literally grow wild around here.
Please put me in for 'My Garden, The City, and Me'.Replies
Thanks Shirley, I'm so glad you've joined the blogging ranks!Delete
Happy Birthday Danger Garden! I think zonal envy is a lot like the "5 stages of grief", which are denial, anger, bargaining (e.g. building a heated miniature greenhouse over that ungrowable zone 10 plant), depression, and acceptance. I think I've gone through every stage, except for the last one!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh so true! And I'm with you on not yet making it to the acceptance stage.Delete
Wow! Happy Blogaversary and big Congrats on your dedication and creativity. I had no idea Danger Garden was about to be 3! You have definitely changed my mind on Yuccas and brought me into the world of possibility with Agaves. I definitely have 'Portland gardening envy' since that is where I started. But, I'm learning to make the most of every environment. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I'd love to read My Garden, The City, and Me or Fruit Trees in Small Spaces.Replies
I hope you find the right Yucca (or three) for your garden Andrea!Delete
Congratulations and fantastic achievement - I've only been blogging for a couple of months and know what a challenge it can be to find a topic sometimes! Love the new Agave! Having just come back from the deserts of southern California to a damp grey UK I am definitely missing the 'spikies'!ReplyDeleteReplies
I bet you are! I look forward to following you around the UK for the next few months...Delete
Hi there. As an agave maniac I discovered your blog a while ago and have been reading it ever since. Keep up the good work and Happy BB day.ReplyDelete
Please enter me in the fruit tree book drawing.Replies
Hi Ellen...thank you for reading! Us agave maniac's need to stick together...Delete
congrats on three years Loree! Your dedication and the quality of your posts is amazing! Blogging well is HARD! My wife and I would love the Naturescaping Workbook!ReplyDeleteReplies
Uhmmm...looks like it's going to be yours then! And thank you!Delete
I'll pass on the prizes, but must congratulate you on years well spent worming your way into all of our little green hearts.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you ricki!Delete
Congrats! I will take this opportunity to say that you TOTALLY ROCK and I look forward to reading many more years of Danger Garden wonderfulness.ReplyDeleteReplies
I look forward to reading your book! (so there!)...and thank you!Delete
Happy blogoversary! Your site is a gift.ReplyDeleteReplies
Congrats on turning 3!!!! I think zone and plant envy is strong!!!! But it for sure keeps things interesting. Ive got some serious envy going on here in Hawaii!ReplyDelete
I'm sooo happy you got frosty blue. He suits your gardenReplies
I hope you are taking A LOT of pictures!Delete
First of all congratulations. Though I don't comment on all your posts, I do read all of them. Despite Yorktown, we Virginians are genetically disposed to anglophilia, so put my name in the hat for My Garden the City and Me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Les, I too read all of your gorgeous posts but don't always comment.Delete
I'm woefully behind on blog reading these days, but I do get 'round to my favorites eventually, so here I am! Happy belated blogiversary! I agree wholeheartedly with all three of your points (and you do have it really good up in the Pacific NW), and I'm especially glad to have met you through your blog and then in person. Still waiting on an Austin visit from the Danger Gardener though. You're missing an incredible spring this year (tempt, tempt).ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Comment moderation is on (because you know: spam), I will approve and post your comment as soon as possible!
