Green zen for sale8/1/2023 ![]() The Green Cascade Japanese Maple is especially lovely and for an upright, red-leaved tree, the Sherwood Flame Japanese Maple is a knockout. Weeping forms are perfect for a sloping area, or planted in a large pot so that they can cascade down. In a shady garden green foliage will show better – in sun red leaves will not only look stunning but be brighter-colored too. Put simply, the main choices are between red or green leaves and between weeping or upright habits. These have already been the subject of an earlier blog – The World of Japanese Maples – and that will tell you everything you need to know to make the perfect choice. This is the quintessential tree for an eastern garden and a wide range is available. The key thing is not to use too many plants – space is important so each plant is seen more or less alone. There are a number of traditional plants used in Japan, some are suitable for American gardens and some are not. Some inexpensive split-bamboo fencing can easily be attached to an existing wall or fence and will immediately set the right tone for a background.Įastern-themed Plants For Japanese Gardens A large Chinese pot will also set the theme or any other item with an Eastern flavor will work well too. ![]() If your budget can stretch to a stone lantern that will instantly give the perfect look, but it is not an absolute necessity. Place your rocks around the area in an interesting arrangement – look at some pictures on-line to get the idea. ![]() If they look a bit raw, spray them with some milk a few times and this will encourage mosses and lichens to grow on them. So one, two, three, five or seven stones, depending on the size of your area, is all you need. The Japanese gardeners always work in odd numbers, except for two. Nice and big and just a few is all you need. Perhaps you can find some in nearby woods and bring them home, or some garden centers and suppliers sell them. The second important element is a few nice, large rocks, natural and interesting in shape. For the rest of us, a smooth surface is fine. Finer gravels and sand can be raked into those patterns often seen in pictures, if you have the time to spend and can make a coarse rake out of a flat piece of wood with notches cut in it. This can be laid a couple of inches deep over some landscape fabric, to keep it from filling with soil and to stop weeds growing. Second choice would be gravel or very coarse sand, something around the size of a pea or a bean is usually perfect. In Japan, moss is a popular surface for the ground, but Japan has a lot of rainfall in summer and for most people in the US, dry summers make moss-gardens an unrealistic option. So what elements do you need to give your garden that Zen flavor? In fact there are a number of different styles of Japanese Gardens, but for most of us, the most instantly recognizable is one built around gravel, attractive stones and simple plantings. Just a few simple elements, stone and the right plants, can give you all that, and we can help you make the right choices to bring it all together. You don’t need a lot of materials or plants to get that air of calmness and relaxation going, where the permanence of nature will bring balance to your life and sooth your body, mind and soul. Creating such a space is actually simple and one of the easiest garden projects you can undertake. Imagine coming home from a stress-filled, busy day and stepping into a tranquil retreat of calm, green light and shade – a place where you can unwind, relax, even meditate and re-charge your inner batteries before returning to your life. Oriental themes are always popular in garden design and make excellent styles for a modern, low-maintenance approach to gardening, in larger yards, but especially if you have a small garden, courtyard or even just a deck or terrace to work with.

Tuck everlasting movie rating8/1/2023 Jonathan Jackson, who I only know from a small part in 'Insomnia', is a good choice for Jesse. ![]() Although you sometimes see the Rory Gilmore of 'The Gilmore Girls' Bledel does a nice job with her Winnie Foster. They are sweet together, have some nice scenes. Another reason you don't want to ask questions is Alexis Bledel together with Jonathan Jackson. Although that is not a good thing in most movies it works perfectly here. It does not really focus on the reason of immortality, it does not really focus on the relationship between Jesse and Winnie and it does not really focus on the outsiders like Winnie's parents and the Kingsley-character. First of all it is a good thing the movie keeps the attention in the middle of everything. There a couple of reasons we don't really want to ask too many questions. You can probably understand how many flaws a movie like this must have. He knows how the Tucks have found their immortality and has plans for himself. A man in a yellow suit (Ben Kingsley) is actually looking for the Tuck family but thinks he will find the girl with them as well. In the mean while we have Winnie's parents (played by Amy Irving and Victor Garber) looking for her. Winnie becomes a new member of the family. Although at first the family thinks Winnie needs to be killed, things change when Jesse Tuck and Winnie start to have feeling for one another. The young teenager who is taken by the family so she can not reveal their secret is Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel). The immortal family exists out of father Angus Tuck (William Hurt), mother Mae (Sissy Spacek) and two sons named Miles (Scott Bairstow) and Jesse (Jonathan Jackson). The story about an immortal family and a young teenager that comes into their lives is probably a well known story for some audiences, but I didn't know it. You could ask question after question but I did not find a reason to do so. 'Tuck Everlasting' is one of those sweet movies with a lot of flaws you don't care about. This failed at the box office but it really should be rediscovered. This is beautiful-well-directed and acted with a sweeping music score. And Elisabeth Shue narrates and does an excellent job. But Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Amy Irving and Scott Bairstrow also turn in very good acting. This is also a rare film where virtually every performance is good-especially Bledel and Jackson. They don't overdo the sentimentality (as they could have) and make the story quite moving and engrossing. Disney made a quiet, beautiful, charming fantasy film. I never saw the 1980 version of this and when I heard Disney was going to redo it I expected the worst. I love it! I thought it was just incredible. I read this book in college as part of a Children's Literature class. ![]() The problem is that he's part of a family that are immortal.

Closest town: McKenzie Bridge and Sisters Another tomorrow resale7/31/2023 ![]() The ability to both improve the initial design process, and take responsibility for its products, are a big part of resale’s appeal for Eileen Fisher, which launched its resale programme Renew in 2009, the first from a major fashion brand. “The production of new apparel has real environmental impacts, and while we are working tirelessly to reduce these impacts through material and supply chain innovation, we know the best thing we can do is make less new,” says Asha Agrawal, managing director of Tin Shed Ventures and Corporate Development at Patagonia, Inc. Patagonia offers a possible exception to that, saying it is “absolutely” a goal for its resale platform Worn Wear to replace future production of new products and that it’s aligning the organisation and resale growth targets with that goal in mind. The latter might be the single biggest metric for determining the environmental benefits of resale, but that’s not something anyone tracks at industry level and, if there are brands that do track it internally, they don’t share it readily. In addition to all the variables that contribute to a garment’s individual footprint, such as how far it was shipped or how much cleaning it needed, whether consumers treat resale shopping as a direct replacement for purchases of new clothes, or the extent to which brands plan to make fewer new products if their resale channel grows strongly enough, is not readily available information. However, calculating the overall sustainability impacts of a resale programme is nearly impossible. “If you have something that's going to take years, if not decades, in terms of looking at the production side versus something that you can do today, resale is a no-brainer.” ![]() “When you think about the fact that about 70 per cent of emissions come from creating and consuming an item, and then layer on how complicated it is to reinvent supply chains, resale is a proven ready-to-go, scalable solution to mitigate fashion’s footprint,” says Sommer of The RealReal. When consumers shop resale instead of new, the immediate benefits are clear. “For me, it has to be: are brands changing behaviour? And, I unfortunately think we're just a little too early for it to be strategic,” says Bassett. Joel embiid stats vs brooklyn nets7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Look, he’s keeping his dribble alive longer into his drives! Look, he’s using his body to shield potential shot-blockers. He’s diversified his finishing package with real success, and every game he shows you something you’ve been waiting to see. But he’s shown a willingness to fire pull-up threes, all of a sudden. How have you seen him grow, and what matchups is he best against? Where is he susceptible to struggles?įirst, let me just say that Mikal Bridges’ growth has been tremendous, and it’s not just a result of expanded opportunity, although he’s had this mid-range pull-up game for a while. Mikal Bridges has become this team’s primary scorer the last couple months. If they don’t force turnovers, or if Dinwiddie has an off night, scoring becomes a gargantuan challenge. They create havoc and rely on Dinwiddie to set the table. But when Brooklyn lets up, things look especially bleak.īottom line: This team lives in the mud. Let’s face it: No team can go balls-to-the-wall 100 percent of the time, nor will defensive communication always be pristine. Blocks and steals lead to the only easy buckets this group sees, but that’s a demanding way to play in the regular season. As the pundits predicted post-deadline, these wings do fly around and create havoc, switching and rotating and covering for each other, supported by Nic Claxton’s other-worldly rim-protection. Thus, they need to get out in transition, and they frequently do. ![]() They just don’t have a lot of guys that can make stuff happen too many of their (many) three-point attempts are hoisted despite the ball never touching the paint. That can be on him, always a boom-or-bust decision-maker, as well as the general roster construction. He’s averaging 9.1 assists per game to just 2.1 turnovers in his second stint in Brooklyn, but there are too many Nets possessions that see him dribble most of the shot-clock out with not much else going on. Spencer Dinwiddie has done an admirable job as the captain of the offense, despite being clearly overburdened, deciding how just about every possession goes. That materialized in the ways you’d expect this team goes through brutal droughts, usually as a result of minimal rim pressure. In the aftermath of the KD/Kyrie teardown, this roster appeared light on ball-handling and general offensive creation, and heavy on rangy wings. Whenever something unexpected occurs in the NBA, you hear many variations of “See! Nobody really knows anything, we’re all just guessing!” These Nets should serve as a modest reminder that, sometimes, what’s on paper translates to the court. He was gracious enough to lend his time and answer an array of questions to shine a light on the Nets.Īfter the trades that sent out Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, what was the identity of this Nets team, as well as its strengths and weaknesses?

The songs, except for "Woodstock", were recorded as individual sessions by each member, with each contributing whatever was needed that could be agreed upon. Stephen Stills estimates that the album took around 800 hours of studio time to record this figure may be exaggerated, even though the individual tracks display meticulous attention to detail. It was produced by all four members of the band. The album was recorded between July 1969 and January 1970 at Wally Heider's Studio C in San Francisco, and Wally Heider's Studio 3 in Hollywood.
