One of the biggest worries many people have when spring arrives, is knowing that it's time for the 'Spring Cleaning'. I personally know few people who become really anxious about it.
If you look at any corporation, the lowest paid workers are usually the no skilled workers where their job does not take any special schooling to do, and those jobs pay the least. Anyone can be taught mould removal home remedies a toilet:P The middle tier of workers usually require some sort of degree or a special skill set to do their jobs and those workers get paid more as a result. The top tier of any corporation are the people with the innovative ideas, leadership and communication skills to make it all happen. As a result, they get paid the most. Your Real Estate business is the exact same thing as any corporation, so treat it that way!
Clean your closet. Use your vacuum cleaner to get rid of collected dirt and dust. Make sure you use the crevice tool of the machine to clean the narrow areas of your closet. After cleaning, you can arrange your clothes neatly.
This is why organization how to remove carpet stains at home avoiding procrastination is so vitally important. Remaining on the example of your garage, getting rid of the things you don't use anymore on a constant basis is always better than doing it in those dreaded days in March.

This sherbet-hued ensemble is just one of the possible variations on the popular princess theme. Go online or head to your local costume store for a look that's truly fit for royalty.
Prefer a custom costume? Your pint-size princess can pull together her own unique look by wearing a long, flowing dress (pink, purple, peach, white, or silver are best), elegant elbow-length gloves (if the dress is short-sleeved), lots of fake jewels, and of course a glittering tiara. After all, no princess is ready to meet her adoring subjects without one!

- About Us
- New Patients
- Treatment
- Invisalign
- Locations
Thanks to today's advances in orthodontic technology, Turner Orthodontics can provide our patients more treatment options than ever before. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular along with removable appliances that can be used for mild cases of misaligned teeth.
Please see below or ask us to learn more about the types of braces we offer at our office. You need to speak with your orthodontist to determine which appliance is right for you.
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are smaller and more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Clear braces are made of materials that are less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, clear braces are typically placed on older teenagers and adult patients who have aesthetic concerns. Our Damon Clear braces offer faster, more comfortable treatment with great results.
Clear appliances, such as Invisalign, use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

A read quite a lot in June, and feel pleased that I'm making good progress through some books that have been untouched on my shelves for a while now. I'm also on a self imposed book buying ban until September, purely to encourage myself to read what I know will be great books I already have. It's actually quite liberating!
Katherine Hepburn by Barbara Leaming
I thought this was a solid biography of the legendary actress – although it was weighted rather interestingly. At least the first half of the book was about her ancestors, with a lot of focus on her mother and aunt who were big players in the Suffragette movement. I found all that really interesting, but it was a bit weird that we didn't really get into Katherine's life until much later on. I also would have liked to hear more about her life after Spencer Tracey's death. I agree with other reviews I've read that said this isn't really about Katherine Hepburn, we hardly get any insight into her life as a movie star, but more of a family saga. I have to say I didn't hate that. If you want to find out more about the golden age of Hollywood though, this isn't the book for you.
A Portrait of the Artists as a Young Man by James Joyce
I'm not really sure how to write about this book as such a large part of it went over my head. It is a classic written in stream of conscience style, dialogue, lectures and diary form. The blurb describes it has 'exuberantly inventive' but I found it rather confusing and disjointed. It tells the semi-autobiographical story of a young man growing up dealing with faith, sin, philosophy and human nature from school through to university life in Ireland. Sometimes the writing style really grabbed me and I flew along with the narrative. But I found the extended chunks of sermons or meandering conversations lost my interest and I had to concentrate so hard to follow them. I lost my way with it and then really lost interest. I found that nothing really happens, and I felt no sympathy for the main character, so the writing just wasn't enough for me. I finished the book not really sure why I'd started it, or what I'd gained from it. A bit of a lost read and not one I'd recommend, especially if you were new to classics.
The F word- Granta 2011
Granta is a literally magazine, published four times a year. This was their feminism issue from 2011 which I picked up from a charity shop. I've not got too much to say about this, it was made up of a series of short stories and poems, none of which really grabbed me. I couldn't really identify with the stories told, although there were a couple of more interesting ones.
Mr Darcy's Daughters by Elizabeth Aston
As you might be able to guess, this novel tells the story of Darcy and Elizabeth's 5 daughters. In Aston's book the 5 daughters are about to experience their first London season, away from their parents who are off travelling for Darcy's work. I picked this book up because I just wanted a lighthearted, fun read this month. Whilst in many ways it was that, I had so many problems with the way the author chose to tell this story that I couldn't get totally on board. As a Pride and Prejudice fan, I've read a few spin offs (the best being Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!) but this let me down. I could see the author was trying to show how the daughters were in a more progressive world (references to sex and homosexuality being the most obvious differences to Austen's novel) but this meant it had none of Austen's subtle humour. And the set up of the novel, that the Darcy's would actually leave their daughters in London in the hands of relatives just as they are coming out into society, was so unbelievable to what I felt about the original characters. The daughters themselves were also like faded carbon copies of Austen's characters – the fact that Camilla, the main POV, was meant to be like Elizabeth was so obvious it was almost painful.
The story itself was a good enough regency romp with plenty of scandalous characters, drama and gossip. I was also happy with the resolutions of each of the characters, and found myself eager to know how it would all turn out. So really, I think I would have enjoyed this more if it had been nothing to do with P&P because I couldn't quite overcome my issues there! It seemed odd to write an homage to the classic, but completely disregard what made it, and its characters, so brilliant.
Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII by David Starkey
I've written a full Tudor Tuesday about this, so I won't say too much more here other than – not my favourite Tudor noon-fiction, and not really recommended.
Revelation by CJ Sansom
This is the fourth book in Sansom's Matthew Shardlake books which I've mentioned before as I'm slowly making my way through them all to review as a series. They are murder mysteries set in Tudor times, with a hunchback Laywer as the main character. The series started off slow for me, but I really loved this one and gave it four stars on Goodreads. I love the way the books work through Tudor England, and how famous characters from history work their way into each one. But in this book the actual murder mystery was also excellent, I really didn't know who it was this time, and the set up of the serial killer's motives was chilling. It's hard to say too much, without giving the story away. But I would say if, like me, you found the first books lacking in writing style and story keep going as they really do get better!

HTC might not be faring well in the high-end smartphone market these days, but the company has released a handful of mid-range devices that are quite compelling. It's with these new smartphones that HTC hopes to capture 8 percent of India's mid-range smartphone sales in the next 6 months. With the recent launch of the mid-range One A9 and budget Desire 828 in India, HTC is kicking off an offensive that the company hopes will help sell millions of devices and improve HTC's overall market share in the country.
Sales of smartphones increase over 20 percent during the third quarter of this year, with 65 percent of sales falling within the mid-range to budget categories (Rs 8,000-15,000). HTC's high-end smartphones are well represented in India, but Chia-Lin Chang, HTC President of Global Sales, admits that HTC has not done a good job in the low-end and mid-range segments in India. "In India, 65 percent of smartphones sold are below the Rs 10,000 price point. Till now, we didn't participate in that market… If we can capture 2 percent of the budget phones sold in India, we will have a huge growth momentum in India taking our global revenues higher."
While HTC probably won't make much profit with these new devices, selling more devices helps them keep manufacturing and set costs in check, allowing them to pull in better profit margins on high-end smartphone sales in other regions.

Roll Tide everyone,
Just wanted to give you a brief recap from our 2009 Annual Kickoff meeting at the Houndstooth.
We had a about 30 people in attendance for the event and the night turned out to be a great success. We debuted the 2009 RollTideChicago T-shirt and they look great. Thanks again to Ben for such great work on that.
The food catered from Smoque was fantastic as well. Great job to the Houndstooth, Thomas in particular, for getting that done. We hope to work with Smoque again to cater a special game later in the year.
We are all looking forward to another great season this Fall at the Houdstooth.

Pop Along
By David Mackenzie
There's been an incredible response to Populus in the few months since it's inception. Our Facebook page has grown enormously, our events have been very well attended, and the comments we've received have been incredibly encouraging. There has been one small thing that has played on our minds though. An issue, a sentiment, which I want to make sure is not a part of this organisation. That is, that Populus is (for want of a better word) for loners.
As I've said in the past and as is our new motto, Populus means people and that's who it's for, for all of us. Let me be clear, it is for everyone, "loners" are included in that, but not only those who feel that isolated. It is not a pity party, it is not a depressed circle of people wallowing in their seclusion. It is a social group! It's to meet new people, to make friends. There is nothing negative about this organisation, it is simply to reduce loneliness.
If you want to meet new people and make new friends, come along! Everyone is welcome here. There is no mandate to be paralysed with loneliness, there is no requirement to be a loner. At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter. I don't want anyone to be put off because they misconstrue what we're about it who we're for. In a sense I don't care if they think it's not for them because they're not a "loner". I've never considered myself to be in that kind of category but I have definitely been very lonely.
What could be more positive than people making new relationships? In my mind, there is nothing negative there, nothing to be ashamed of.
If you're still in doubt, if you still think you're too cool to be lonely, then come along. Why not try it? What could you possibly have to lose?
Be brave, take the courageous step that others have and pop along for a cup of free hot chocolate and the chance to talk to someone new. I promise we don't bite.
Almost done…

Zombie Tupac is going on tour
If you thought Tupac coming back to life at Coachella was cool, you're in luck -- he might be coming to a city near you. Read on to find out how.
Tupac Shakur rose from the dead at Coachella last weekend -- and now the ghostly figure could be performing in a town near you.
According to the Wall Street Journal, plans are underway to bring the virtual Tupac tour nationwide.
"This is just the beginning," said Ed Ulbrich, chief creative officer of Digital Domain, the company that brought Tupac back to life. "Dre has a massive vision for this."
"To create a completely synthetic human being is the most complicated thing that can be done," he explained. "This is not found footage. This is not archival footage. This is an illusion."
A source close to the project told the Wall Street Journal that while plans are underway, the concerts are likely but not guaranteed and that it would take months of creative and technical planning. A couple of options being kicked around are an arena tour involving other artists like 50 Cent, Eminem and Wiz Khalifa, or a smaller operation featuring Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Remembering Tupac Shakur: His greatest hits >>
Despite the use of the term "hologram," Zombie Tupac was actually a 2-D image created using a projector, a reflective surface and a large piece of Mylar behind which Snoop Dogg performed, giving the appearance the two were side-by-side on stage.
Zombie Tupac performed "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," both of which are about being killed by guns -- just like he was in 1996.

The Buzz: Resurrected Tupac is going on tour
After Tupac's resurrection, via projection, rumors are flying that Tupac may go back on tour.

Japanese researchers found that eating yogurt and other drinks with lactic acid could help prevent gum disease. They looked at 900 people with the condition and tracked their dairy intakes.
Researchers found that people who consumed fewer lactic acid foods had more advanced gum disease. They suggest living microorganisms found in foods like yogurt may help prevent the condition. But they say more follow-up studies are needed to confirm their findings.
The study is published in the journal Periodontology.

Khloe Kardashian has canceled plans to embark on a promotional tour for her upcoming book so she can remain by ailing husband Lamar Odom's side.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians reality star was scheduled to hit the road to support the release of her self-help guide, Strong Looks Better Naked, on 3 November (15), but she has since pulled the plug on the trip, reports UsMagazine.com.
Khloe has been a constant presence by Lamar's bedside ever since he was hospitalized in Las Vegas on 13 October (15), after he was found unconscious at a brothel in nearby Crystal, Nevada. He woke up from a coma last week (ends16Oct15), and he has since been transferred to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for further treatment.
The former Los Angeles Lakers basketball player is said to be recovering after undergoing emergency surgery on Thursday (22Oct15) to treat issues reportedly related to a bout of pneumonia.
"Lamar is in a very fragile state," a source told People.com. "The infection, that is being aggressively treated with strong intravenous antibiotics, is unfortunately not getting better. There are many concerns about his health."
The latest health crisis occurred a day after the couple formally called off its divorce, after a Los Angeles judge granted the stars' request to dismiss their signed divorce papers.
Khloe had originally filed to end their four-year union in December, 2013, but they didn't move forward with the court action until this summer (15), when they both finally signed the documents. However, the papers had not been finalized by a judge, allowing them to pull the petition and reportedly give their marriage another chance.
Khloe details her split from Lamar in the new book.

If you're at all like me, then the party political broadcasts and manifesto launches have had you on the edge of your seat. If you're like me, you're probably also very sarcastic! That's not to say I haven't listened and watched with some degree of interest when I've been 'fortunate' enough to catch one of these informative broadcasts or news pieces. You've got to love their enthusiasm to make life better for us all and to seek to please every last one of us. The promises made; the hopes for a better future; the savings we're all going to make… it really will be something!
I was more than a little amused, when I heard one party outline all the taxes they were going to cut, while at the same time informing us how education, health, and living standards were all going to improve. Now, I reckon I destest the tax paying as much as the next person but, really, Mr Politician Man, how are you going to deliver all these wonderful changes if you're cutting all these taxes (sorry, I would be more precise but honestly, from where I'm sitting, I'm not really sure what they all are or what they all do, I just know that I get to 'donate' on a regular basis and if that's how it has to be, then I'll render to Caesar, just don't expect me to answer questions on said rendering!) at the same time? I am starting to believe that Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrats, to name but a few, are actually covering names for Gryffindor, Slytherin and other such houses in the great Hogwarts of the policitcal world; that big, old, building full of mystery and magic, Westminster! Yes, I now believe that if the future is really going to be as we are being promised then, our politicians must, in fact, be magicians!
It's hard to believe that I'm on my own in feeling that policiticians/magicians/wizards are actually people we can trust. They promise the earth but, at the end of the day, once they've got our votes/attention, how many of these amazing, life-improving promises will actually become reality? Forgive me for being cynical, but has past experience not left us all feeling a little that the political wizards are simply illusionists whose tricks lose their appeal when we realise that, actually, they're not that impressive after all? Apologies to any politicians (i jest… one, they are all way too busy at present and two, I very much doubt any of them would be reading this, much less caring what I think) / political supporters who feel I'm being harsh, it's simply the opinion of someone who, while admitting I would barely know a Hansard from a Hagrid, gets a bit frustrated and fed-up with the whole election 'show'!
In saying that though, if they have worked it all out and are able to account for savings and improvements, please oh please come and work through my finances with me! In fairness, working out numbers better than me wouldn't really be something to brag about – Maths never really was my strong point (hmmm, bit of an understatement here). However, I can recite Pythagoras' theorem… I kid you not. Mr Maths teacher, for about 22 years now, thanks to you, I can declare, 'The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.' And yes, that is stored up safely in a little file in my brain marked, 'Yes, I can remember that fabulously useful mathematical fact but struggle to remember how much I paid for the pack of 18 toilet rolls I bought in Asda the other day' – they were definitely a bargain though! and yes, I do recognise that my excitement at said purchase is very troubling.) Back to Pythagoras… I can talk the talk but, truthfully, I don't have a clue what to do with it- does anyone? Acutally, don't answer that! Is this an accidental politocal analogy also… I know, so cynical so young ;o)
The good old politicians and their manifestos did get me thinking and so, feeling inspired (?really??), I decided to create my own manifesto and, in the spirit of the mid-way point and the need to alliterate, ladies and gentlemen, I give you… My (not-for-votes-just-for-the-purposes-of-my-own-ponderings) Midweek Manifesto!!
This manifesto is a daily plan, one that considers each 24 hour block to be an opportunity to begin again, trying as far as possible to remember that each day is in fact a gift to be treasured and enjoyed. It is a promise to be thankful for the blessings contained in each and an aim to be patient and calm with all those living in my constituency (otherwise known as our house). I will try, as far as possible, to meet the needs of my constituents, admitting though, that I am far from perfect and will likely (not on purpose or to hurt but simply because I'm human) let each one down at some point, but will hopefully manage to provide food and clothing and allow time for fun each and every day. Working in partnership with my coalitionist (i.e. my other half), we will seek to do our best for our constituents, creating a place where each feels safe, secure, happy, fulfilled and free to express themselves. A place where each one knows they are valued, unique, special, fearfully and wonderfully made and created for a very particular purpose – their very own part to play in the world – a part no-one else could play, because there is no-one else out there who is just like them!
I promise to offer love and care but also a firm, disciplinary action when it is needed. I know that constituents do not always like time-out, but I trust, that in the future, they will recognise that this was in fact for their benefit and that we did it all for their own good. Yes, even the insistence on table manners, helping you recognise when to talk and when to chew and the aspiration that, one day, the dinner aftermath will not replicate a war zone! Trust me, no-one wants to see your dinner again after it leaves your plate – honest! I cannot guarantee that I will be a ray of sunshine every day, but I can guarantee that I will always have their best interests at heart.
It is an honour and a priviledge for me to be called your representative (parent) and I pray that you will seek the path in life that God has for you. That you will not be swayed by those around you but, that you will stand strong in your beliefs and that you will know true and real happiness and contentment. I do not wish exceptional wealth for you (although, you know, if that happens, hellooooo retirement plan ;o) ), but I do hope that you will understand value – not just in financial terms, but in all that this life has to offer. May you learn appreciation and thankfulness, knowing how much your very presence on this planet is appreciated and valued and, how truly thankful we are that you are here.
Constituents, there is so much more that I could say, assuring you that pizza will still be enjoyed, even though both sides of the coalition do not see the value of this fantastic invention (namely the Takeaway stuffed crust range we have so recently discovered – oh boy!), that your musical interludes and impromptu dramatic performances will be allowed to continue and yes, they will indeed remain tax free! That we will find time again for another cinema trip, for a visit to Fort Evergreen… because an opposing party (i.e. School) does not provide the opportunity for all constituents to attend in the near future although, it is unlikely we will be able to book a bus to accomodate the requirements of our constituency, (but the car should do fine, I hope!) The list could go on, but there simply isn't the time to outline every fine detail at this juncture and, quite frankly, most days, we just wing it (too much honesty for a manifesto??)
So, dear constituent, know that, as your very own coalition, we are very much united in wanting what is best for you and providing for your needs, even if that doesn't mean all your wants. We seek to see you all with smiles on your faces, a quietly confident nature and a spring in your step because your heart is happy.
I trust that on May 7th, you will have your voice, as you do every day… just not with your mouth full please! x

I didn't want to miss exploring the area while I was here, so earlier this week I drove the half-hour from Tofino to Ucleulet for the day to check out the small town, known locally as 'Ukee'. I hadn't explored the beaches at that point, so I took my time with the drive and made a stop on Long Beach. It's definitely worthwhile to plan to take some extra time there on your drive or at one of the other beaches on the west side of the highway for a little stroll or a picnic breakfast. If you leave early enough you could also watch the sun rise and the early morning surfers. As you continue along the highway, a sign at the corner of Highway 4, heading back over the mountains, gives due notice that you're headed towards a stress-free zone. The town certainly fits that bill, with the same laid-back vibe as Tofino.
I headed for the Ucluelet Aquarium as I'd heard it was quite unique, as a non-profit organization dedicated to ecologically sound practices. The really neat part? They catch and release all of the marine life in the displays, making it very environmentally friendly. The aquarium is small, but plan to spend a bit of time here gazing into the tanks, giving starfish belly rubs in the 'touch tanks' and relaxing in the library area reading about the Clayoquot Sound flora, fauna, and history.
After my visit and a short wander along the harbour, I drove south towards the end of the peninsula to hike the first leg of the the Wild Pacific Trail. This world-renowned hike has three sections, of which I hiked two over the course of about 3.5 hours. The Lighthouse Loop begins at the south end of town, and takes about 45 minutes at a brisk pace, with a couple of stops. As you might guess by the name, it ambles past the Amphitrite Lighthouse, a rather unspectacular lighthouse. The real treat are the views before and after, as you peek out of the temperate coastal rainforest onto the wild coast. The trail is well-maintained and marked. The second part of the trail starts near the Black Rock Resort in town and winds along the coast, again offering stunning views, which are easily seen along the 'artist's loop' which has a handful of lookout decks where you can rest and take it all in.
Though I personally wouldn't make this a destination in itself, it was definitely worth the trip from Tofino and offers a couple of different opportunities for getting out into the remote wilderness in your wellness travels. If you're smitten with Ucluelet, however, and want to spend a bit more time here, there are ample accommodations available in Ukee, as well as a number of restaurant and tour options.

2011 NBA Mock Draft: How Low Will Jimmer Fredette Go?May 3, 2011
2011 NBA Mock Draft: How Low Will Jimmer Fredette Go?
National Player of the Year Jimmer Fredette might be the most controversial prospect in the 2011 NBA Draft.
His transcendent college game is the topic of many a debate about whether or not he can succeed in the NBA with subpar size, quickness and athleticism.
One thing is for sure: every NBA team can use a dead-eye shooter with Jimmer's ridiculous range. The ability to stretch the floor with a great shooter gives point guards room to penetrate and bigs room to post.
Jimmer is one of few players in this draft who can provide a team with that.
As June's draft approaches, some prognosticators have Jimmer slipping in the first round. As unknown prospects get more exposure, Fredette, the known commodity, has begun to slip.
But how much of this is speculation and how much of it is credible? Will be surprised at how high Jimmer goes on draft day and, in hindsight, bashfully say, "Yeah, we knew he'd go there all along."
The answers are coming, but in the meantime, here's a new mock draft of all 30 first round picks.
30. Josh Selby, Kansas
The Jayhawk freshman was a top-three recruit in the class of 2010, but we never really saw what he can do. We heard that he is really good, but we didn't get to see that play out.
Selby is essentially Kyrie Irving without having proven himself.
Opinions are unanimous that Selby should return to Kansas to improve his game and the perception of it, but patience is not a virtue for today's college superstar.
He's ready to take his aggressive style and NBA body to where it will eventually end up anyway.
This pick represents Selby's floor. A team could surprise by taking a risk on his as high as the 25th pick.
29. JaJuan Johnson, Purdue
Purdue senior JaJuan Johnson is the virtual opposite of Josh Selby: the matured player who probably stayed in college longer than was necessary for NBA Draft success.
Johnson, at 6'10" and 221 pounds, excelled in his final season, notching 20.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.
He is still raw and has a developing body, but he projects nicely and could rise up draft boards with strong workouts leading up to the day.
28. Trey Thompkins, Georgia
The draft stock of the 6'10" senior from Georgia is stable. Trey Thompkins is an experienced and polished big man who has put together an effective inside-outside attack.
Even though his strength is playing in the post, he possesses NBA range that will challenge defenders. He loosely mirrors the game of Jeff Green in that way.
I have written before that Thompkins, who played three years in college, is among the most experienced players in the draft, and that a lack of hype is the only thing keeping him from flirting with the lottery.
Scarcity of big men is continual in the NBA, so Thompkins could go higher based on need and scarcity.
27. Travis Leslie, Georgia
Travis Leslie's athleticism is elite in this draft class, there is no question about that.
The questions surround a couple of his fundamental skills: shooting and ballhandling.
Leslie is an explosive dunker and strong finisher, but lacks consistency with his stroke. As a shooting guard in the NBA the threat of jumpshooting is necessary, otherwise he'll never have the opportunity to beat anyone to the basket.
Without the ability to shoot, his other strengths won't be as strong.
The 6'4", 205-pounder possesses enough strength, athleticism and potential to get his name called in the first round.
26. Nolan Smith, Duke
Nolan Smith is not an exciting prospect. He's not the flavor of the month. He doesn't possess explosive athleticism. He's a known commodity and his name and skills have lost their luster a bit.
Those skills, though, are advanced and stable. He is a player who may have hurt his draft stock by staying in school for another year after winning the title at Duke, but that doesn't mean he regressed.
He needs to practice his outside shot to become more consistent, but his all-around ability means that he could become a valuable player at either guard spot.
He is strong and quick to finish at the rim, yet handles and distributes like a point guard. His 6'2" size and tenacity make him an excellent defender, which is something not often said about NBA prospects.
His personal and professional maturity might be more attractive than his actual game, but that is good enough to get him into the first round.
25. Chris Singleton, Florida State
The biggest concern for Singleton is the broken foot he suffered late in the season.
He played his Seminoles into the Sweet 16, but there is doubt that he is fully recovered from it, or ever will be.
The 6'9 small forward's defining assets are great athleticism and lockdown defense. His 3.5 combined blocks and steals show his high level of defensive effort and versatility.
Singleton's offense needs work (he's never shot better than 43 percent in a season), but he can contribute immediately to a team on defense while his offense catches up.
24. Tyler Honeycutt, UCLA
Check out that form on Tyler Honeycutt's jumper. Yuck. This is one of the biggest reasons why he won't go high in the first round.
Scouts are concerned that Honeycutt is kissing away the opportunity to stay at UCLA another year to improve his offensive game and jumpshooting.
It becomes a lot harder to improve at shooting while transitioning from the college game to the NBA game.
Honeycutt and Chris Singleton are similar in that they both have defensive-minded, athletic styles of play. They both have good basketball smarts and can block shots from the perimeter. They both struggle shooting the ball from the outside.
Honeycutt will go around this point because of his incredible awareness and cerebral game. Once his skills catch up, he should be a nice NBA player.
23. Klay Thompson, Washington State
Klay Thompson was a late addition to the list of early entries, but he adds depth and offensive skill to the first round of the draft.
The junior is the antithesis of his hyper-athletic but raw colleagues. He will earn his draft position with highly-developed skills and smarts.
His dad is former No. 1 overall pick Mychal Thompson, so the son most certainly knows his way around the basketball court.
Thompson is considered one of the best shooters in the college game, which, at 6'6", is a great advantage heading into the NBA. It will be important for him to get his shot off quickly as bigger and longer players stretch to alter it.
The suspension he served for marijuana possession toward the end of the year seems like a minor blip on the radar for him and doesn't represent larger character issues. He should be a fine pick in the high teens or low twenties.
22. Lucas Nogueira, Brazil
The 18-year-old Brazilian center is shooting up draft boards as more and more information and video arrives.
The 6'11", 218-pounder possesses great athletic and shot-blocking ability down low, and complements those with lots of energy.
Think a taller and skinnier Anderson Varejao or a more fluid Hasheem Thabeet.
All that needs to happen for Nogueira to become valued contributor is adding weight to his frame. He'll get pushed around at just 218 pounds, but if he bulks up, he will be make it very hard for players to score on his team.
21. Markieff Morris, Kansas
The taller and bulkier Morris twin, Markieff is commonly thought of as the lesser player.
He is raw offensively and plays more like an interior big man than his brother does, though he is just as athletic and explosive.
His 13.6 points and 8.3 rebounds on 59 percent shooting are enough to convince scouts that his offense is adequate and will continue to improve.
He has Tyrus Thomas-type potential and could emerge as a solid pro if his offense matches his defensive ability.
20. Nikola Mirotic, Serbia
Nikola Mirotic, at just 20, has achieved a balanced game of a player five to 10 years his senior.
Everything you want from a big man comes easily to him, yet he plays the game like someone who is several inches shorter than he is.
The NBA especially loves his jumpshot (all the way past the three-point line), his IQ (great awareness and instincts) and his size (6'10" on the perimeter).
He doesn't have the athleticism that a lot of small forwards have, but his size and skills should make up for that.
He'll need to put on roughly 20 pounds, but upon doing so will be an imposing player on the wing that can do it all.
19. Tobias Harris, Tennessee
Though he'll be just 18 when selected in June, Harris has the smarts to play in the NBA with the more experienced.
He is said to be testing the waters to gauge his true draft stock, and might end up back in Knoxville for next season.
If he doesn't, an NBA team in the high teens will receive an unselfish forward who can play in multiple spots. He can shoot, though not well from three, and handles the ball admirably for someone who is 6'8".
Harris seems to be a power forward in a small forward's body, which is the knock on him: that he's not big enough to play power forward, but not athletic enough to play outside.
Are his skills and smarts good enough to cover the size and athletic holes he has?
18. Marcus Morris, Kansas
The smaller and more skilled Morris brother, Marcus finds himself a few spots higher than Markieff because of his versatility and scoring.
As opposed to his brother, Marcus is comfortable on the perimeter and plays more like a guard, even though they are only separated by an inch.
Though he spends more time outside, he's still a strong rebounder who puts in a lot of effort to make plays.
His lack of explosive athleticism is masked by his ability to shoot the ball as well as he puts it on the floor to attack.
Marcus' improvement has been steady through his time at Kansas, and there's no reason to think that won't continue when he dons the NBA logo.
17. Jimmer Fredette, BYU
And here's the man of the hour. Or at least this slideshow.
Jimmer's strengths and weaknesses are well-documented, but nobody really knows where he'll go. Some think that he's a mid-lottery pick, while others think he'll be outside the lottery or top 20 altogether.
I think his placement will be dependent on the player movement ahead of him. If some go unexpectedly high, Jimmer will fall. If the projections hold, Jimmer could go near the top 10. I think he'll go somewhere in the 13-18 range.
Fredette isn't an outstanding athlete, but I was wowed by plays he made several times over the course of the year, and not just for deep shots; he frequently broke down more athletic defenders with a quick first step and deathly crossover to finish over bigger players at the rim.
To call Jimmer's athleticism a weakness probably means that you haven't watched him play at all.
As noted in the intro slide, every team needs a great shooter. He doesn't have to do much else or be explosive. He just has to have that one bankable skill.
Jimmer showed that he has that and more on the college level. What will happen to him on the pro level?
16. Jordan Hamilton, Texas
Jordan Hamilton is only a sophomore, but, unlike many underclassmen, doesn't need any more time in college to prep for the jump.
His improvement over two years at Texas was excellent. As he transitioned into a primary scoring role, Hamilton ably doubled his scoring and rebounding output without sacrificing efficiency.
He showed that he can shoot the three (38 percent), use his size to grind out dirty plays and handle the ball.
The drawbacks that characterize his game are minor, which means that he shouldn't have to spend a lot of time shoring up negatives and can focus on making his strengths even better.
15. Reggie Jackson, Boston College
The freakish athletic exploits of the 6'4" junior point guard have won me over. I talk about Reggie Jackson's improving draft status every time I do a mock. I love his game and am curious how he'll be seen in the draft.
On April 4, I had Jackson going at 18.
On April 22, I had him going at 16.
I think the explosive point guard reaches his ceiling at 15. He does a lot of things well, such as see the court, rebound and catch-and-shoot, but there are concerns about his strength and his basketball intelligence.
The latter could be a real hang up for someone who's projecting as a point guard; teams can't waste high picks on point guards who can't make the decisions necessary to run the team.
Don't get me wrong: the fact that he's reached this high in the draft is a major win for him and a testament to his ability.
The sky is his limit athletically, but he needs to improve on some of the finer points of the game and learn discipline with shot selection before he truly makes the jump.
14. Kenneth Faried, Morehead State
I'll say it again: NBA teams can never accumulate too much talented size.
I don't care that Kenneth Faried played four years at Morehead State or that he's undersized to play in the post at 6'8".
The guy's motor and heart are unmatched, and his athleticism is certainly NBA-quality.
He's considered a work in progress offensively, though he scored 17.3 points on 62 percent shooting as a senior. Think of Faried as a more talented Ronny Turiaf.
13. Kawhi Leonard, San Diego State
If you're a lottery team looking for a safe prospect to develop slowly, don't pick Kawhi Leonard.
I say this because the 6'7" sophomore small forward from San Diego State was not a great scorer in the Mountain West Conference and never shot the ball well in spite of ridiculous athleticism and great length.
He plays hard and isn't afraid to get physical with his 225-pound frame, which will serve him well in the draft and in his career.
However, he will need to develop an outside shot because he's about to lose his ability to blow by, jump over and outmuscle other players.
12. Alec Burks, Colorado
The 6'6" Alec Burks has enough potential to overcome the many concerns about his developing game.
He's too thin at 195 pounds and has limited range on his three-pointer. Also, he doesn't play offense very well without the ball, which makes him easy to guard.
In spite of these things, Burks is coveted for his athleticism, length and scoring knack. He scores in many ways, but loves to slash into the lane and finish explosively.
There's debate on whether his game translates to the pro level, but it should remain intact in some form based on his athleticism and natural scoring tendencies. Think Jamal Crawford in that way.
11. Tristan Thompson, Texas
Tristan Thompson is as can't-miss a prospect as any freshman in this draft.
Scouts love the 6'8" Thompson for his relentlessness on the offensive glass and elsewhere, plus his 7'2" wingspan.
That kind of length allows him to change shots taken by bigger players and to get his own shots off.
He can hang with bigger guards and centers alike because of his unique mix of ballhandling, athleticism, rebounding and shotblocking.
A breakout March showed that the freshman possesses the maturity to continue the improvement he made in his year at Texas, which is a quality that NBA general managers need to see from a young player whose talent demands a lottery pick.
10. Bismack Biyombo, Spain
The 18-year-old Bismack Biyombo's meteoric rise to the top 10 of this draft says two things:
One, that this draft isn't that great.
Two, that again, quality players with size are at a premium.
The fact that a team will spend a top 10 pick on a teenager that they might have never seen in person before recently speaks to that fact.
The 6'9", 243-pound forward is known for being raw and green while possessing elite rebounding and shotblocking and a ridiculous 7'7" wingspan.
9. Terrence Jones, Kentucky
There is no doubt that Terrence Jones belongs in this year's crop of one-and-done freshmen. His positional versatility and do-it-all offensive skills make him a talent that NBA teams won't easily pass up.
Some will pass, though, because of questions about Jones' maturity. He seemed to give up or shrink when he struggled around midseason. The telling factor is not that he struggled, everyone does at certain times, but that he didn't respond by adjusting or persevering.
This is a personal quality that players at this level and draft position must possess. Many of these guys have succeeded at every juncture of their basketball career, but are about to experience struggles, if only for the first time.
Jones has experienced that and will be a better player by learning from it. He needs to become more consistent with his effort to maximize his immense skillset.
He's got so much talent that no amount immaturity will keep him out of the top 10.
8. Donatas Motiejunas, Lithuania
Though the book on the 7', 220-pound Donatas Motiejunas is thin, his skills won't be in the dark for much longer.
Aside from the fact that his 220 pounds aren't close to adequate for the rugged NBA front court, Motiejunas has few weaknesses.
Word is that he doesn't play enough to have great experience with his team in Italy and that his jumpshot is inconsistent. These are trivial in comparison to the potential strengths he has.
Nothing sticks out as superior to anything else in his game. He runs the floor, has insane court vision, scores aggressively, is smart and shoots from midrange.
I just had this thought and am fleshing out through my writing, so bear with me. Could this guy be a poor man's Kevin Durant? He has satisfactory athleticism and is rail-thin, but attacks the basket and shoots well.
Durant has a nose for scoring like nobody west of Carmelo Anthony, which Motiejunas can't rival. However, they both handle the ball well and shoot from midrange, but also get to the basket.
I don't know. I'm just trying to get my mind around a player nobody in America has seen, but will soon take the league by storm.
7. Jonas Valanciunas, Lithuania
Note: My apologies for sandwiching two confusing European names together. I hope you can remember/differentiate between them come draft time.
Jonas Valanciunas is another highly-skilled European forward. He is the top international player on many draft boards, though I think that he'll go behind Jan Vesely and Enes Kanter.
Valanciunas breaks the mold of the lanky international forward with his toughness and experience. He's only 18, but he's played with tenacity for Lietuvos Rytas in the Lithuanian league.
At 6'10", 230 pounds, Valanciunas boasts a polished inside game, which is where he spends most of his time. He has a soft touch offensively and rebounds and blocks well when defending.
He needs to improve his perimeter game with the midrange jumper, but there's no doubt he'll develop that with time. What he has now is enough to warrant a top five to eight pick.
6. Kemba Walker, Connecticut
I've already said what I want to say about National Champion point guard Kemba Walker, so I'll just pipe it in:
You've seen the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament play by now. You know about the incredible quickness and creativity around the basket. You know about the long-range shooting. You know how Walker put a very young team on his back and showed them how to compete and get better in-season.
What you couldn't know before the Big East and NCAA tournaments is that Kemba Walker was a competitor and a winner.
The 6'1" junior and his Huskies made history by winning five games in five days from the nine seed to win the Big East, then turned around and won six more to claim an improbable National Championship. Without Walker, they don't get out of the play-in round of the Big East.
Originally projected near the bottom of the lottery, Walker has shot up because of the maturity he displayed in the NCAAs. You know what you're getting with him, but that doesn't mean he's not worth the pick here at No. 6.
5. Jan Vesely, Czech Republic
At 6'11", 240 pounds, Jan Vesely has ridiculous size for a small forward.
He has ridiculous range and athleticism for a 6'11" player. He is an ideal combination of size, skill and toughness.
If you combined the desired skills of each spot on the NBA floor, you'd probably end up with something close to Vesely.
His best strengths are his jumping ability, which comes out in his ferocious dunks, and his relentless motor. He plays hard all the time and isn't afraid to play physical as many Europeans are.
NBA scouts are convinced of his maturity, which is why he's projected in the top five.
4. Brandon Knight, Kentucky
The 6'3" Brandon Knight struggled early in his freshman year before emerging late in the year. Most of his struggles are attributable to the fact that John Calipari had him out of position at the point.
In reality, Knight is better characterized as a combo guard. He has the intelligence and the handling to play the point, but he's a volume shooter and big athlete who can make his mark in the paint.
He's a good rebounder, so you don't want to send him back on defense if he could be playing his high-effort game on the offensive glass.
He does need to finish forming his game and shore up the inconsistency with his outside shooting, but the leadership and athletic potential that Knight showed in leading Kentucky to a surprise Final Four berth are a pleasant occurrence to unexpecting general managers.
3. Enes Kanter, Kentucky/Turkey
The 6'10" Enes Kanter hasn't played competitively in over a year due to an improper benefits suspension at Kentucky.
It doesn't matter for this extremely polished center, who is slotted third overall despite the fact that no scouts have seen him play lately.
The only criticism of Kanter is his lack of athleticism. Otherwise, he's got the post game of a five-year veteran All-Star at a tender 18 years of age.
He handles and passes very well for a big man and can shockingly hit his jumper all the way out to the three-point line.
He will make his living in the paint where he uses a physical body to his advantage and finishes creatively.
There is concern over his ability to transition from Europe to the NBA without a college buffer, but he's expected to make the jump smoothly because of his experience and maturity from playing pro overseas.
2. Kyrie Irving, Duke
Kyrie Irving's short 11-game college career is about the only weakness he has, and will be enough to keep him from the No. 1 pick.
Because of this, teams are uncertain what exactly he will be. Is he primed to be the next Derrick Rose, or just Aaron Brooks?
He certainly has the talent of Derrick Rose, though not the same class of athlete, and intelligence to develop as quickly.
Irving is a true point guard that has a good feel for the scoring/passing balance and excels at moving past his defender into the lane. From there, he deftly keeps his shooters and bigs in sight while maintaining a great handle on the ball. He can kick out, dump down or pull up for the short jumper.
Nobody really knows Irving's ceiling, but we do know that his floor is second overall.
1. Derrick Williams, Arizona
You saw him play. Is there anything you can find to criticize in Derrick Williams' game?
The only gripe that can be made about the Arizona sophomore is that he's undersized to play the NBA four. That's OK because he could make a fantastic small forward with elite athleticism, intelligence, power, outside shooting and active defender.
He has the physical/mental makeup and maturity to play in the NBA right away. He won't be a No. 1 scorer on either team he gets selected by, the Cavs or Timberwolves, so he could immediately contribute offensively while defenses pay attention to primary scorers.
Defensively, he can play a position above or below his natural one, which will allow him to stay on the court longer and improve through game experience.
His career trajectory is almost vertical right now and there's likely more to come from a player with Williams' work ethic. Look for him to make an All-Star team within four years.

Our house...
9 comments:
I loved looking at your house, it have a really nice layout, and I love all of your plants and books! I also like to see how & where other people live!ReplyDelete
sweet post love, so fun to see your adorable house!ReplyDelete
Thanks ladies! I am only sorry that everything looks so cluttered, but that is kind of how we live I guess... and I guess that is a good thing because it means we are always active and working on something... but still, sometimes I wish I could be a minimalist and have everything clean and tidy and fresh looking, he he!ReplyDelete
i am the same way so i'm so glad you showed your house because i love it! can i come over? lol your book shelf- gorgeous!ReplyDelete
i love the yellow! that shade... mustard yellow? is hat what yo'd call it? i love it. and the hanging baskets... your sitting buddha. everything. it's very much you.
sometimes i wish i was the mminimalist, but i'm not either. it's funny... part of my dream house is a loft... a white studio loft with barely anything but art.
but too boring. not for me. i'm very much a trinkets girl.
charming house from the outside in.
and *minimalist
geeze. i haven't finished my cup of coffee yet. ha
I can't believe I missed this post! I love your house! My fiance would go nuts over it, seriously, it's great! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
@micaela, your dream of a loft with white walls and only art on it is my dream too, but alas, I am also a trinkets girl... I have so many little things that I love and I am too sentimental to get rid of anything... I like knowing that everything I am discarding has somewhere to go and even better if I know and like the person. I don't want anything in the trash if I can help it.ReplyDelete
@cole, sometimes I miss posts too, but I am glad you like the pictures! The only thing I wish is that it didn't get so damp in the warmer weather... maybe our next house will be perfect, lol!
Oh, I love the garden (so green! Very much unlike mine at the moment!), and the bookshelves, and the doggie! What a lovely place you have. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks sorcha!ReplyDelete

Another salad recipe but I assure you it's worth it. This salad pairs perfectly with grilled tofu, fish, chicken, and burgers.
The ramps in my dressing recipe are only in season for a short time — so be sure to toss them into your basket before they're out of season in a few weeks. If you go beyond that — you can substitute them with scallions.
The ingredients are quite unique; I'm not going to lie. But don't let that deter you — this dish is a crowd-pleaser and a taste-bud-pleaser, too. It's a nice array of fresh fruit, quinoa, and veggies atop a delicate bed of Bibb lettuce — which I am loving lately. It's so dainty and soft… kind of like a big green cloud. If you can't find Bibb lettuce at your farmers market, I suggest using red leaf lettuce instead. But, search long and hard for the Bibb; it's worth the drive and the gas money looking for it.
This dish is one that I find myself going back for "just one more bite" after I've cleaned the table and washed the dishes. Somehow a fork magically gets pulled out of the drawer and I kind of pick out a few pieces and pop them into my mouth.
It's magic, I tell 'ya. Pure magic. Go ahead — watch it happen right in your very own kitchen. You may not be able to put down that fork.
See all quinoa recipes.
In a medium-sized saucepan, stir together the agave nectar and brewed green tea and bring to a boil. Then, add the rhubarb and ramps. Boil for 4 more minutes, stirring often. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the apple cider vinegar and cook until the liquid is reduced by ½ and the rhubarb is tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Transfer the rhubarb mixture to a food processor with the remaining dressing ingredients and pulse until smooth.
Assemble the first 8 salad ingredients in a large salad bowl. Serve the dressing warm or chilled atop the salad. Top with some of the pumpkin, strained tomato sauce, and pistachios. Enjoy.

Swan in the Wings, 20" x 16", Oil on Linen, 2013. My model for this painting is Rachel. She is wearing a costume from Houston Ballet's "Swan Lake." The subject is strongly backlit, giving the impression that this dancer is in the wings preparing for her time on stage by tying the satin ribbon of her point shoes into a tight knot. The elegant gesture of her arms and hands are meant to convey the grace of her profession. As Rachel held this pose, there materialized an ease in her expression and posture, and an intensity in the rigid muscles of her left arm and back. These factors create a pleasant tension-of-opposites that contribute to the visual story-telling of the life of a dancer. This painting was chosen as a finalist in the Raymar Art, Painting Competition (7th Annual Competition Month #6 - July 2013).
Location: Houston, Texas.Keywords: female (60), figurative (102), oil paintings (198), portrait (114).

Mini Laptops at Wholesale Prices
Mini laptops are becoming more and more popular in recent days. They come as the alternatives to the regularly sized laptops which are also more expensive to most people. People may prefer this kind of laptop considering that they cost less to purchase but they can already be used for working purposes as well as browsing the internet. Even better, they can also be purchased at wholesale prices.
Due to their popularities, this kind of laptop is being offered by manufacturers in a wide variety of features and low prices with the possibility of wholesale prices as mentioned earlier. The technology that supports the mini laptops is now much more reliable compared to that of the earlier models.
The company of ECS, or the Elitegroup Computer Systems, for example, is one of the computer manufacturers which is now also trying their lucks in the business of such kind of laptops while at the same time trying to offer the products at wholesale prices.
ECS is even now trying to offer customers this kind of laptops with the capability of 3G service that has already been built into the mini laptops. This kind of mini laptops are able to access the internet by taking advantage of the features which are called as the HSDPA and the HSUPA, which stand for High Speed Downlink Packet Access and High Speed Uplink Packet Access respectively.
The built-in 3G technology that is offered by ECS is an innovative one since the other brands which are currently available on the market will require an add-on card to make the use of 3G possible with such kind of laptops.
However, ECS was not able to hold the position of the only manufacturer which offers 3G in their product for a very long time. Asustek has also come with wholesale prices into the lines of such manufacturers. And there is a good chance that the products that are manufactured by Asustek are able to use the SIMM card from certain communication operators as well.
ECS as well as Asustek are not the only manufacturers that deal in the business of the mini laptops. There is the other manufacturer which is known as the FIC. This FIC does not want to miss the chance of manufacturing such mini laptops with 3G capability either. There is also a good chance that the FIC is giving out their products at wholesale prices.
If a customer feels interested and would like to buy mini laptops, it is also possible for them to obtain one such laptop from a manufacturer which is based in China and is known as Jinghong Industrial Co., Ltd. The customer may also be able to obtain one from another company which is also based on China, known as the Shenzen Huazu Electronics Co., Ltd. The latter requires a minimum order of as many as 300 pieces before the customers will be able to buy the products at wholesale prices.

LA CRESCENTA, Calif. --People out for a stroll in Santa Monica on Sunday night pulled out umbrellas as light rain began to fall on Southern California again.The weather system moving into the Los Angeles area is bringing steady downpours in some communities.
In other areas, it has been light enough to make the roadways slick, but not enough to make people run for cover.
"It's nice and breezy, kind of drizzling," said La Crescenta resident Knarik Nazaryan. "It's very unusual to see people are not shopping. Usually the shopping center is very busy."
Some people don't mind the rain at all.
"I turned off my sprinklers, save a little money on my water bill, the plants love it," said Charlotte Alanizi of La Canada.
Residents expressed concern that heavy rain could bring back the mudslides that created so much damage last year.
"I'm scared because we used to have flooding," said Siri Miller of La Crescenta. "Every year we've had some serious flooding here."

Spay/neuter programs yield huge returns for the investment, in reduced cost of animal control, in reduced number of dogs euthanized, and reduced population of stray dogs. Yet many animal control
administrators and agencies do not fully appreciate the magnitude of the benefits.
To achieve a no-kill society, we must understand and confront the forces that yield the current status of dog treatment. The issues are highly intertwined; economic, political, administrative, legislative, and cultural factors work to preserve the status quo.
In a recent article (Creative Budgeting for Preventive Animal Control, NACA NEWS, May/ June, 2013) the advantages of adding a strong preventive animal control element to traditional animal control were discussed and include cost benefits, enhancement of animal control's public image, personal job enrichment, and an increasingly humane operating environment.
The above article urges widespread collocation of LCSN clinics with public animal shelters and features a clinic of this type recently established in Sacramento County, California. One of the country's first collocated LCSN clinics was established in San Mateo County, California, forty years ago, and the number of homeless dogs and cats there has since plummeted, a direct result of the clinic and related educational efforts.
Change always is difficult, but positive change can occur if animal control directors will:
1. reflect on the above benefits and review the related references given here;
2. thoughtfully consider the quantitative analyses available in the Dog Population Model (DogSim)
3. carefully review the excellent Low-Cost Spay/Neuter clinic budgeting guide and spreadsheet templates that are available to facilitate development of a pro forma budget
(See LCSN Pro Forma Budgets).
4. pro-actively engage municipal staff up the ladder from the animal control department as to the advantages of 'collocating' an LCSN clinic with the Animal Shelter.

|My neighbor and I cleared a section of poison ivy and bramble filled woods between their shed and our fence. Anything's better than the mess it was before, but now it's just dirt. And since it's the first thing you see when coming up our shared driveway, it really needs help. We just can't seem to come up with a good solution. It's a relatively large area that's 2/3 theirs, 1/3 mine. But they're not garden people at all, so they'll probably go along with anything I suggest!
It's very dry, dense shade in zone 6, with just a few really big trees. We have deer and rabbits, so my idea of a big hosta garden wouldn't work. Plus more things to water is the last thing I need! My husband vetoed covering it in mulch (too expensive) or grass (too shady or too much mowing). So we're left with a big patch of dirt.
Ideas please!! Whatever it is has to choke out or prevent poison ivy from coming back (as best it can).
|Native plants are usually more deer and bunny resistant than other commonly grown plants so you might lean in that direction. Some suggestions include:
Sweet Woodruff (Galium odoratum) - 8" tall, zones 4-7; partial shade to full shade. Woodland ground cover spreads by rhizomes. Star shaped scented leaves encourage the deer to pass by. Small white flowers in spring. (critter resistant)
Dead Nettle (Lamium sp.) - 4-6" tall, zones 4-9, partial to full shade. Colorful
leaves and tolerance of ordinary soil make this a popular ground cover. Silver
leaves lined with green with white flowers in May-June. (critter resistant)
Epimedium x perralchicum 'Frohnleiten' is a sturdy, quick establishing, low maintenance groundcover for the shade. It performs well in moist, organic soils and even in difficult to handle, dry shade locations. For fast coverage, plant 3" pot-sized plants 6" to 8" apart. Plants spaced 12" apart will fill in more slowly as the plants produce runners. Cut back in the spring; use a lawnmower in large areas. Bright yellow flowers appear soon after, then the fresh green foliage with a red edge resumes growth and remains evergreen throughout the year.
A final suggestion is Pachysandra terminalis (Green Carpet Pachysandra). This is an evergreen, clump-forming ground cover with dark green leaves; variegated varieties have cream margins. It spreads, but not aggressively, by underground runners and thrives in full shade. 'Green Carpet' is more compact, with smaller, finely toothed leaves, to 3 inches long.
Hope one of these suggestions is just right for your landscape.
