Nancy and Ned both work for a botanical garden. The botanical garden is adding a number of floral designs around its grounds. Nancy, who has more experience, can plant the flower and make the design by herself in 3 hours. It takes Ned 5 hours working by himself to make the same design. If Nancy and Ned are assigned to work together, how long will it take them to make the design?
Not sure how to set it up?
Nancy can do a full job in 3 hours, so her rate of work is "1 job per 3 hours". Or since she can to 1/3 of the job in one hour, we could say her rate is 1/3 job per hour. Likewise, Ned's rate is 1/5 job per hour. Let t be the number of hours working at the job. Then after t time, Nacy can do (1/3)t of the job and Ned can do (1/5)t. We want to add these together to add up to 1 (for "1 job", which means the whole project. So our equation is:
(1/3)t + (1/5)t = 1
You can multiply both sides of this by 15 to cancel out the fractions, then solve for t.
Reply:To set this one up, think about how much of the design each person can make in one hour. Since Nancy takes 3 hours, in one hour she will have finished 1/3 of the float. Likewise, Ned will have finished 1/5 of the float in one hour. So both of them working together can finish 1/3+1/5 of the float in one hour. You should be able to figure out the rest from here. =) If you need more help, just let me know.
Reply:There is a simple formula you can use: Together/Separate + Together/Separate = 1.
Let Nancy represent the first T/S and Ned represent the second T/S. We know the Separate times of each are 3 and 5 respectively. We are trying to find the time it Together takes them to do the one job.
Hence, set it up at x/3 + x/5 = 1. Find Least Common Denominator of 15.
Thus, 5x/15 + 3x/15 = 15/15. Since the x's are on top, you can basically ignore the denominator 15s for actually solving the problem.
5x + 3x = 15, means 8x = 15. So, x = 15/8 which is a little less than 2 hours. If you desire it to be in minutes, it is 7 and 1/2 minutes under 2 hours; ie, 1 hour and 52 and 1/2 minutes for them to do together.

There's a light pole on the street, always birds are sitting on top. No matter when you drive by. Why?
It's close to the zoo, a tunnel with a bike path, a busy intersection, a large water fountain, rose garden and there's a botanical garden across the street.
There's a light pole on the street, always birds are sitting on top. No matter when you drive by. Why?
well, its easier for a person to sit in a chair than to sit on the floor because it's closer to their butt, I would assume that a light pole is closer to where the birds fly, so they chose to land there instead of the ground
Reply:they are waiting to crap on your car
Reply:probably the spot where their favorite tree used to grow
Reply:perhaps they're all shagged out after a really good squawk. or they're pining for the fjords.
they're certainly not dead. if you were to open the cage, VOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
Reply:Because its something to rest on...duh
Reply:The birds most likely sit upon light poles to get a good veiw of their surroundings. When it comes to predators they need to keep a good eye out for them. Seriously, only and idiotic bird would want to perch in lower places where predators can come within reach of them. Especially when it comes to cars, they've learned to stay out of the vehicles' way.

Minimizing total cost?
A landscape architect plans to enclose a 1500 square foot rectangular region in a botanical garden. She will use shrubs costing $25 per foot along three sides and fencing costing $10 per foot along the north side.
If x is the length of fencing used, write a formula for the total cost in terms of x only.
(b) Find the length of fence that will minimize the total cost.
x =
Minimizing total cost?
(a) 35x + 75000/x = total cost
(b) is hard to show on the computer without writing scripting language and yahoo will not allow that in answers.

I have personally photographed different varities of petrified wood and ALL are without growth rings. WHY?
Very true, and I will post photos some day.
Does this support Flood Geology and display the earth was once Adam's botanical garden, or arboretum?
I have personally photographed different varities of petrified wood and ALL are without growth rings. WHY?
Many observed phenomena are explained better by the flood than by the evolutionism of "science". I thought many petrified woods DID have rings, but I don't have any here to check.

It took me all of 30 seconds to find hundreds of pictures of growth rings in petrified wood from certified geologists.
At some point, Christians should ask themselves why they rely on lies and mis information to support their belief?
If you really do have pictures of petrified wood without Growth rings please give us a link and send them to scientists who may be able to help you.
Claiming that ALL are without growth rings is a bit misleading....
Hope this helps.
Reply:I've also seen many petrified, whole, trees and the growth rings are indeed still there. I've also seen pieces of petrified trees and there, depending on the part of the tree, the growth rings are not visable. Perhaps what you've photographed were not whole trees.
Sorry but the Flood Geology associated the biblical story of Noah is bogus and wthout any merit.
Reply:You might have to look a bit closer to determine the rings. Try pour water on where the rings are supposed to be, and they will usually appear.
Reply:I've seen petrified wood and they do have rings. Without evidence, I'll have to choose to believe my own experience.
Regardless, you're kidding, right? Wood without rings support a world wide flood? Occam's razor my dear.
Reply:EDIT: Seriously, if these pieces you refer to are whole cross-sections, how you be sure you are looking at wood and not a large petrified plant? I can understand looking for proof of the Great Flood in the growth rings of trees that would have existed about that time on Earth. It's ingenious. Carbon dating would be able to prove it's lifeline. Do you have a 360 page? I would very much like to examine at least one of these photos. Not that I doubt you of course, I like to learn and keeping an open mind is a big help. Right now, my mind is open.
Reply:I have never personally seen petrified wood without growth rings. It would be kind if you were to post the pictures ... perhaps to your 360 if you have one?
Reply:The process of petrification involves the tree being buried (cut of from oxygen so that normal decomposition does not occur) and also to be in an area where the material in which it is buried contains soluble silicates, or aluminates--actually a variety of materials. Much like a photograph that can be under or over developed the detail of rings can be lost in the petrification process. The local conditions simply did not develop enough resolution. In very mineral rich strata such as in greece, in parts of arizona--the annual growth rings are highly developed and highly visible. (One can even see seasons that were drier or wetter much like in living trees today). So the resolution of growth rings in petrified wood is dependant on the petrification conditions-but there are literally hundreds of thousands of samples (google petrified wood) with highly distinct growth rings.
Reply:I have petrified wood with growth rings I picked up in Utah. They're quite visible.
~EDIT~ See second link for better description.
Reply:It is my understanding that petrified wood is not wood at all but mineral deposits that replace the organic compounds and solidify over time. As such color variations could not be reproduced, only the shape of the wood. It does seem logical that some striations appear as a result of the variations in wood density due to growth rings but not all rings are signifigant enough to produce said striations. I think it best to follow the suggestion that we study up on the petrification process.
Edit - someone asked me to explain what I meant by signifigant variations in wood density causing some striations. I've harvested. milled, dried and worked with wood over the years. As a cross section of a tree dries out it there may be different degrees of shrinking due to wood density and moisture content leaving an uneven surface grain on the cross-section. It stands to reason that if some rings are more signifigantly recessed than others they would be replicated in the petrification process.as sort of a bas relief. Sort of like an inconsistent Ruffles potato chip if the ridges were concentric.

Reply:I've personally photographed different varieties of petrified wood which had growth rings.
Tropical wood often has barely visible tree rings, though if there are pronounced wet/dry seasons you will get them as well.
Fully anchored chronologies which extend back more than 10,000 years exist for river oak trees from South Germany (from the Main and Rhine rivers). A fully anchored chronology which extends back 8500 years exists for the bristlecone pine in the southwest US (White Mountains of California).
Isn't the flood suppposed to have occured less than 10 000 years ago?
But if you made a significant scientific discovery, you surely published it in a peer reviewed journal. Can you please post the citation?

Atlanta officiant for a wedding?
Does anyone know of any judges or justices of the peace that will perform wedding at venues? I'm getting married at Atlanta Botanical Garden and I need someone to perform the ceremony.
Please, do not use this opportunity to say dumb things like "go to a courthouse" or the likes...and under no circumstances do I want someone ordained to officiate. I know what I'm looking for, and I believe that I've quite plainly stated it.
Atlanta officiant for a wedding?
This is not a terribly uncommon thing so some must do it. To find which ones
1. Call the Botanical Garden and ask which JP)s or judges have done weddings there in the last 2-3 years.
2. Call a few justices of the peace and ask what their fees are for performng a wedding at such a venue. The reason for asking it that way is because even if they haven't done that before there is no reason they couldn't and wording it that way will overcome some of the negativeness that ppl tend to have when confronted with a new idea. If you just ask does she/he do it if they haven't done weddings there the automatic answer is no but if you ask the cost you may well get a more positive response.

That's a pretty long list, but I'll tell you what I know from experience. Any cafe should have reasonable prices and decent food.
Fremont Hotel (junk food there)- Go across the street to California Hotel and there is a Snack Shop downstairs on the opposite corner of the front desk. They have some pretty good food. Everything is cooked to order and reasonable. They have things like Japanese food (tempura, teriyaki), Chili (from Zippy's in Hawaii), sandwiches, etc.
Ethel M. Chocolate Factory - If you go to any station casino, a few nearby, they have a food court type area with pizza, new york deli, panda express, ice cream place, quiznos, and a cafe.
There is also a mall nearby (Galleria at Sunset) that is really good (good prices and sales) and has a food court and some restaurants.
We also have L%26amp;L on Stephanie and Sunset near Target, which sells Hawaiian style foods like shrimp curry, chicken katsu, hamburger steak, mahi, etc.
Hoover Dam - They have a small snack shop. There is nothing really close by.
Luxor - At the Luxor, they have a food court where they have McDonald's, some sandwich places, etc.
Caesar's Palace - I've stayed there and I don't remember any small places to eat, but they do have a mall where you can probably go to.
New York, New York has a lot of little places to eat.
Aladdin - The cafe (Zanzibar, I think), has good tasting food and wide variety. The eggs benedict is really good. I ate that for dinner a lot.
Reply:that's a WILD list! OK, I have the same problem, LOL! But I know that lots of the new fancy-schmancy hotels have great places to eat - we just have to choose wisely. I do also know that there are big shopping malls in hotels like the Aladdin %26amp; Caeser's, so therefore, should be lots of choices. All I'm sure about is IN-N-OUT Burger the day after, LOL!

Reply:The best places to eat in LV are at the buffets. The best buffet we found for the money was at Circus Circus. At the same time, if you want CHEAP, there are plenty of Fast Food places on the strip as well.
NO ONE does lunch better than the Westward Ho. The "HO" is a great little casino with a hometown feel. Their restaurant is inexpensive by most standards and the portions are HUGE. We discovered it only becausae our package included lunch there. BUT we went back again and again. Great food, nice atmosphere and good price.
In the past (when I lived in Nevada) the buffets were a way to get people into the casinos. They were cheap and the food was plentiful. These days expect high prices at most of the big buffets (Luxor is the highest we found) so take your time and explor the nearby restaurants when it's NOT meal time. It's hard to be objective when you're hungry, so checking out the restaurants when you're NOT hungry is the best way to find a great deal. REad all teh signs, and check the time. Some buffets have lower prices on lunch - but lunch lasts until 4 pm. So if you get in the door at 3:55, you pay LUNCH prices. (The true secret of the early bird special....)

By each of these sites in Las Vegas, where are good, inexpensive places to eat or snack?
That's a pretty long list, but I'll tell you what I know from experience. Any cafe should have reasonable prices and decent food.
Fremont Hotel (junk food there)- Go across the street to California Hotel and there is a Snack Shop downstairs on the opposite corner of the front desk. They have some pretty good food. Everything is cooked to order and reasonable. They have things like Japanese food (tempura, teriyaki), Chili (from Zippy's in Hawaii), sandwiches, etc.
Ethel M. Chocolate Factory - If you go to any station casino, a few nearby, they have a food court type area with pizza, new york deli, panda express, ice cream place, quiznos, and a cafe.
There is also a mall nearby (Galleria at Sunset) that is really good (good prices and sales) and has a food court and some restaurants.
We also have L%26amp;L on Stephanie and Sunset near Target, which sells Hawaiian style foods like shrimp curry, chicken katsu, hamburger steak, mahi, etc.
Hoover Dam - They have a small snack shop. There is nothing really close by.
Luxor - At the Luxor, they have a food court where they have McDonald's, some sandwich places, etc.
Caesar's Palace - I've stayed there and I don't remember any small places to eat, but they do have a mall where you can probably go to.

I want to know about a TREE. It is called as butea fondosa. It has bunch of 3 leaves. I want to buy it ?
The leaves of butea fondosa are green. The leaves are naturally three in number attached to the branch. I live in California,USA. I want to know where I can get its leaves. Which nursery or botanical garden might have it here.

Do you mean butea frondosa? There are some vendors who are located outside of California who sell either plants or seeds for this species. You could try the University of California Botanical Gardens.

Flower/plant from the philippines?
I was at the Atlanta Botanical garden a couple of days ago and saw this beautiful plant from the Philippines. It was hot pink and had hot pink berries that eventually bloom into white and pink flowers. It was in the orchid section, I remember the guy said the name started with an m, but it wasn't the common name for them.
Any help on what it was would be greatly appreciated.
Flower/plant from the philippines?
Best advice I can give you is to contact the Atlanta Botanical garden and ask them - they should have a Plant Info Desk with that kind of information. Otherwise we would just be "dancing in the dark".

Botanical name? 5-6' tall, leaves like celery or lovage, yellow daisy 1" bloom Aug. zone 5-6, part shade
I think this is considered to be an old fashioned plant. Never seen it in a nursery. Although tall it doesn't need staking. Can't find it in any of my perennial references. Leaves get progressively smaller farther up the plant. Color is more like butter than a lemon.Both botanical and common names would be appreciated. Got it at a garden club plant sale years ago, unnamed.
Botanical name? 5-6' tall, leaves like celery or lovage, yellow daisy 1" bloom Aug. zone 5-6, part shade
Wish I could help, sounds pretty. Good luck.

Any fun places to visit in Pittsburgh,PA?
You can ride the incline across from Station Square to Mt.
Washington and look out over the city. There is the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History in Oakland. Sandcastles is a water
park in Homestead. They have water slides and go carts and
swimming for adults and little kids. The Aviary on the north
side, if you are interested in seeing birds. North and South
parks have a bike trail, picnicing, pony rides on weekends,
and a childrens playground. Take in a ball game at PNC
Park. See the fountain at PPG Place downtown. Sorry,
that is all I can think of.
Reply:You should definitely not miss the National Aviary. It's very cheap to get in and something you won't forget. There are birds literally everywhere. You'll be walking along and a 2 1/2ft. tall emperor pigeon will be right in the middle of your path. I love it myself and my nieces and nephew go crazy for the place.
The science center is also excellent for the family. Here's a link so you can check out what's going on there.
http://www.carnegiesciencecenter.org/def...
If you want a tour, theres no better tour around than a Just Ducky Tour. It's literally a boat with wheels. You'll take it through the city as well as on to the river. Here's the link:
http://www.justduckytours.com/
If you want a taste of the nightlife, the two biggest places are Carson St. on the South Side (particularly from about 10th through 30th st's.), and Station Square. They both have plenty of bars, stores, clubs, restaurants, you name it.
Reply:The folks above gave you some good suggestions. Outside the City, if you're interested in traveling around the region a little, there's also Fort Necessity %26amp; Friendship Hill National Historic Sites (Fayette County), the Trolley Museum (Washington County), and lots of state parks and small towns to visit. - - - Enjoy!

Can anyone help with this maths question?
a 5m(cubed) load of concrete is used to put a path around the outside of a square lawn at a botanical garden. The path is 10cm thick and 1m wide. Find the dimensions of the lawn.
Thank you so much
Can anyone help with this maths question?
Need to find the dimensions of the square.
Since path is 10cm = 0.1m thick and 1m wide then for each metre in length we use 0.1m^3 of concrete (1 x 1x 0.1)
5m^3/0.1 m^3 = 50 so that means the length around the lawn is 50m. i.e the perimeter of the lawn is 50m.
Since the lawn is square each side length is the same and is equal to 50/4= 12.5m.
Hence the lawn has side lengths of 12.5m.
Reply:I think the answer is 50m because all you have to do is times 5mx10mx1m=50m.......
Reply:Okay.
The path uses 5m^3 of concrete, which is equal to the length of the path times the width of the path times the thinkness of the concrete.
L x 1m x .1m = 5m^3
.1L =5 m^3
L= 50 m
This is the perimeter of the path. The path goes around a square, so the length of each side of the path is 50/4 or 12.5m.
But if you draw a picture of the lawn with the path around it, you will see that the overall perimeter of the path is greater than the perimeter of the lawn by 8 meters or 2 meters per side.
So, the dimensions of the lawn are 10.5 m by 10.5 m.
Reply:let x be the length of square lawn
then according to given condition
(2(2x + 2) + 2x )(0.1)(1) = 5
(4x + 4) (0.1) = 5
0.4x + 0.4 = 5
0.4x = 4.6
x = 11.5
so dimension of lawn is 11.5m x 11.5m
David your working is also ok but at the end
you need to reduce 1 meter from each side instead of 2 because it will replicate the reduction of sides.
So, the dimensions of the lawn are 11.5 m by 11.5 m.

Looking for a teacher metaphor a teacher is like?
i was thinking botanical garden because botonists individualize their care for the different plants in their garden but thats all I have!!
Looking for a teacher metaphor a teacher is like?
When I was in graduate school I had to write a teaching metaphor paper. I wrote about "A Teacher is Like a Musician." A teacher works to get her students all "in tune." Practice is essential. In the end, the class can be a wonderful piece of which he/she can be proud. The music created lasts a lifetime (because the students have knowledge they will keep with them forever) and the students can greatly affect others, just as music does. I can't remember all of the details I used, but they were pretty easy to think of...then again, I am a pianist, so it may have just been up my alley. If you are a musician or music lover, this may be a good start for you...and if not, I suggest thinking of one of your talents/interests and going from there because you will be able to think of more about that topic and how it relates.
Best of luck to you! :o)
Reply:A gardener is an excellent metaaphor for a teacher. A gardener much nurture her plants for her garden to grow. And she must adapt her care to best suit each individual plant. Then the plants grow, blossom, and bear fruit. It's an excellent metaphor!
Reply:A teacher is like
Santa Clause... Because we know when they are sleeping, we know when they're wake, We know if they've been bad or good. and want them to "Be good for goodness sake!"
a cow boy... we have to round them up, herd them in, and brand them with knowledge. (And sometimes wish we could "hogtie" 'em to a chair)
Sherlock Holmes - We search for clues that will helps us unlock the mysteries of each child. After all "It's elementary, Dear Waston"
a construction worker -we use every tool in our belt to build structure in our classroom, create shelters from the harsh world they might live in, establish frameworks for behavior and learning, help them nail down concepts, and build a foundation for growth.
the military - We push them to "be all that you can be". Run drills, teach survival skills, and arm them for the real world.

Noble the trade of the teacher:

Placing the vessels on the waves,
And out they sail to the open sea.
Lovely the trade of the teacher:

From sunshine to harvest.

After the departure of her family,
Over the threshold and far away.

How to make coca cola?
does anyone have any idea of how to make coca cola? I mean the original one made in the 1800, I have a botanical garden, so I already have coca leaves and cola nuts, now what?
How to make coca cola?
good luck with this. Coca Cola has their formulas (including the old ones and it was late 1800s when it came about as a medical treatment. The drug cocaine was used) locked away in a vault guarded by military security cameras. Not even the CEO or the board of directors knows how to make it. Their are many different individuals that only know key portions of the formula.
Recently two people were arrested and sent to five years of federal prison for trying to obtain partial formula secrets when they attempted to sell it to Pepsi Co. Pepsi actually alerted Coke employees on the matter.
Reply:Mix 2,400 grams of sugar with just enough water to dissolve (high-fructose corn
syrup may be substituted for half the sugar). Add 37 grams of caramel, 3.1
grams of caffeine, and 11 grams of phosphoric acid. Extract the cocaine from
1.1 grams of coca leaf (Truxillo growth of coca preferred) with toluol; discard
the cocaine extract. Soak the coca leaves and kola nuts (both finely powdered;
0.37 gram of kola nuts) in 22 grams of 20 percent alcohol. California white
wine fortified to 20 percent strength was used as the soaking solution circa
1909, but Coca-Cola may have switched to a simple water/alcohol mixture. After
soaking, discard the coca and the kola and add the liquid to the syrup. Add 30
grams of lime juice (a former ingredient, evidently, that Coca-Cola now denies)
or a substitute such as a water solution of citric acid and sodium citrate at
lime-juice strength. Mix together 0.88 gram of lemon oil, 0.47 gram of orange
oil, 0.27 gram of lime oil, 0.20 gram of cassia (Chinese cinnamon) oil, 0.07
gram of nutmeg oil, and if desired, traces of coriander, lavender, and neroli
oils, and add to 4.9 grams of 95 percent alcohol. Shake. Add 2.7 grams of
water to the alcohol/oil mixture and let stand for twenty-four hours at about 60
degrees Fahrenheit. A cloudy layer will separate. Take off the clear part of
the liquid only and add to the syrup. Add 19 grams of glycerin (from vegetable
sources, not hog fat, so the drink can be sold to Orthodox Jews and Moslems) and
1.5 grams of vanilla extract. Add water (treated with chlorine) to make 1
gallon of syrup.
Yield (used to flavor carbonated water): 128 6.5-ounce bottles.

Reply:I lived in St Louis 30 years before I moved so I hope I can give you a few ideas. There is a huge Humane Society which is fun to go to as it is full of dogs and cats waiting for adoption, Creve Coeur park is fun as you can have a picnic, go for a boat ride, or take a nice hike, rollerblade or bike the trails. Lone Elk Park in Valley Park where you can see animals roaming free outside, once a moose stood right in front of my car and I read they can sometimes run at your car and cause damage etc so we both just sat there and starred each other down for awhile. Six Flaggs at Eureka. Powder Valley for a nature center and natural trails, Sioux Passage Park near Jamestown Mall. Climbin wall at the west county mall. Hope that helps out some and Union Station has boats you can paddle around in in the summer.

Hmm, starting to think about what flowers to do for my wedding?
I'm getting married in July at the New York Botanical Gardens, and just ordered my dress today, which will take six weeks to come in. My six bridesmaids are going to be wearing the same style dresses, just in two different colours. Three will wear lilac, and three will wear light yellow. What kinds of flowers should I use for centerpieces and the bridesmaids bouquets... and what colours would look nice with the dresses?
Hmm, starting to think about what flowers to do for my wedding?
Orchids would be nice... especially in the bright purple, some of them have yellow stamens. Um... Purple Iris' they would look GREAT. hydranga are great fillers, and available in yellows. daisys are very old school and classic (often overlooked in bridal flowers but SO pretty)....
i think either dark or light shades of purple and yellow would be bring out your colors. Perhaps allow the girls were purple dresses to have bouquets that are mostly yellow, and the yellow ones have mostly purple.
Reply:What about something like the one attached.
You could use the purple ones for the girls with the yellow dresses and then have ones done up in the yellow for the girls with the purple dress. Because they are contrasting colors they would look good together.
Reply:The knot.com has the best online gallery of flowers. There are two galleries, one is their own gallery and the other is "real weddings". You do have to register, but this is really the only website I've found to be helpful.
Reply:Wow you dress is only taking 6 weeks?!?! Mines going to take 4-6 months.
You should go interview florist and see what ideas they have. I had ideas before I went to interviewed some florist and then I was looking through one of the florist portfolio and threw most of my ideas out the window because I feel in love with the ideas she had.
Reply:Do you like Daisies!!!
Our daughter-in-law used daisies and long ribbons. The ribbons for the bridesmaids could have the colour of their dresses and yours could be white.
She also used daisies to decorate the pews. They had white toille draped from pew to pew up the aisle with white twinkle lithts and daisies in them. It is very effective and not expensive.
It is a good idea to have low, small centrepieces; maybe a pillar candle on a mirror with daisies around or some small flower. There are many wholesale flower dealers around. Just check online in your area.
Daisies are more reasonably priced than just about any other flower and they last through the entire day. They will look great with the colours of their dresses. You may like to have white tablecloths over lilac table skirts.
Hope these ideas are a help.
Reply:Gorgeous colors! I think you'd be able to get the same bouquets for all of them. I'm thinking lavendar and yellow roses http://www.windsorflower.com/catalog/ima...
, or purple callas and yellow roses, or vice versa. You can get yellow and purple lillies.Freesia comes in many colors including purples (all shades) and yellow. I would offset everything with some touches of white or ivory.
For centerpieces, have you considered maybe a bowl of lemons or yellow apples, with purple flowers, like this but different flowers:

You could float waterlillies in bowls of water with tea lights around it.
Depending on what you plan to do for favors you could plant yellow and purple pansies in colorful pots to decorate the table with and act as your favors as well.

How is "Boulevard St-Joseph Est" in Montreal?
Looking to rent a apartment for 3 days vacation located at
Boulevard St-Joseph Est and 5th AVE.
Anyone know how the location is. I know it is near the botanical gardens and olympic stadium. What else is near the area?
how far away is metro?
Is it Dangerous at night around there?

Dangerous at night?
Why do you ask?
Are you a vampire or something, lol?
All joking aside, that address you gave seems to be just off of the Plateau Mont-Royal, I think.
It's pretty nice around there actually; a few parks and greens areas and everything.
Here are a few links for more info!

Menu for a reception: What do you think? Can I make it better?
This is all a last minute plan because we have decided to go for an outdoor wedding at a local botanical garden. Afterwards we will have the reception at a friend's apartment complex (this is money saving, but it is a nice clubhouse with a deck and we will put some tables outside What do you think about this idea?)
Now as for the menu I have never been good at putting together the right flavors. So far I am planning to serve skewered sesame beef, skewered salmon, and maybe skewered chicken satay or shrimp cocktail as hors doerves. (These skewers have one large bite of meat not a whole skewer). Also mini croissants, fruit/cream platter, veggies/cheese/crackers platter. For the entree: bourbon pecan chicken or chicken marsala(no pasta) (are these too rich to serve?), green bean medley, and red roasted rosemary/garlic potatoes. This is for about 30-35 people is this too much food? What would be a better entree? Should I serve pasta instead of chicken as the entree like tortellini etc
Menu for a reception: What do you think? Can I make it better?
Your menu sounds great!
I would do the chicken marsala (lighter than the pecan chicken) and then do a pasta entree, as well. Pasta is cheap, and you always want to be sure to have a vegetarian option. Vegetable lasagna might be a nice addition, or penne primavera with lots of vegetables. Other than that, it sounds perfect. I love satay!
Reply:Your menu sounds great. Chicken Marsala (fav. food of mine) is perfect. I've been to a lot of wedding where chicken marsala has been served and there was no whining by guests.
In addition, your hor d'oeuvres are very classy. I worked in a country club and we use to serve chicken satay at fancy wedding and bar/bat mitzah (these parties were 100K+) too. They always flew off the serving trays.
One thing I would do is offer a pasta dish. I would go w/ penne ala vodka. It's classic and tasty.
Great Menu!!!
Reply:It actually sounds REALLY good! You might think about adding a green salad of some type. And if there are children being invited pb%26amp;j sandwiches cut into heart shapes!
Reply:It sounds just lovely! You might want to add several salads - maybe a choice of garden salad or Caesar.
Reply:Your menu sounds fabulous. I agree with everyone else who said add a vegetarian pasta dish in addition to a chicken dish. If you don't want to do a vegetarian pasta maybe try eggplant parmesan.
Reply:Hi,
Looks good!
Do the pecan chicken...marsala's a little too common. Also, add one green salad.
If you are doing skewered items, be sure to have somewhere for the skewers to go when people are finished.
Don't do the pasta unless you can do something very special. It's just too everyday.
Have a great reception!
Reply:Your menu sounds lovely.
Reply:While i like your concept, here's a few changes I would make:
For the appetizers:
You are having beef, chicken, salmon and/or shrimp. I'd cut it down to 2 - the beef and the shrimp. Since you are planning on chicken for the main course, you want a little variety. The choices appeal to a wider variety of tastes. I like the fruit, veggies and cheese platters, but instead of the mini croissants, get loaves of small Italian bread and have it sliced in thicker chunks. It will be a more one bite size, and can easily be eaten with any of your choices.
You are getting suggestions for a green salad and I agree. Why not take it a step further and make a nice Chicken-Pecan Caesar salad? This way you have a 'lighter' dish, and the vegetarians can easily remove the chicken too.
Main Course:
If you would want to serve Salmon as a choice, here's your chance. The rosemary potatoes and green beans are a nice accompaniment. The chicken marsala would appeal to the masses more, but how about a nice choice of pork medallions? They too would work well with the rest of it.
Skip the pasta. Many people are trying to be carb conscious these days and your potatoes will strike the right chord.
You have made some excellent choices - I'm just giving you more ideas :)
Good Luck!
Reply:I think you should add a vegetarian dish to the actual dinner because it seemed there is only meat there. It would make it seem like a better choice for people who dont want to eat meat as much.
Reply:everything sounds greatm you have the right stuff, no pasta you are perfect
Reply:WOW this sounds like a delicious meal. I would love to be a guest. Definitely add a salad as others have suggested. I like the idea of a tossed salad and a caeser salad for 2 choices. I would also follow the suggestion to limit the hors doerves to the salmon and beef and maybe the shrimp, skip the chicken skewers since chicken is your main entree. I wouldn't bother with a pasta if you are going to do a salad option, but I agree maybe add a rice pilaf. Your choices are excellent.
Reply:I think your guests are going to really enjoy this meal!
If everyone on your guest list eats chicken, then I'd stick with that as your main course. Either one sounds tasty. I'd probably pick the bourbon pecan chicken over the chicken marsala, but that's because I'm intrigued by the idea of nuts and chicken together, where I've had a lot of chicken marsala over the years. Your mileage may vary.
Whichever you decide on, this is going to be a tasty meal that most people can easily enjoy. Even my disgustingly picky eater of a husband wouldn't go home hungry, and that's a sure-fire sign you've chosen something most people can enjoy.
Now if we could just angle for an invitation. ; )
Reply:The reception site sounds fine, as long as there's enough space and you decorate it nicely.
The food sounds good but it would be nice to offer a big bowl of salad greens. As for being too rich, it depends on the timing. It might be heavy for a hot afternoon, but dinner would be good. I'd skip the pasta Better to have too much food than too little. You can also add a big batch of rice just as a filler.
Reply:It sounds GREAT, I am starving now!
Its better to have too much food than not enough. You can always pack it up and eat it the next day. As long as the apartment will seat people and you have a cover over the deck or a back up plan in case it rains then it sounds great.
Reply:I think it sounds good too... especially for a nice an outdoor deck setting. However, I would probably add some sort of pasta meal as well as a salad.

For the entree: bourbon pecan chicken or chicken marsala(no pasta) (are these too rich to serve?), green bean medley, and red roasted rosemary/garlic potatoes. This is for about 30-35 people is this too much food? What would be a better entree? Should I serve pasta instead of chicken as the entree like tortellini etc
Menu for a reception: What do you think? Can I make it better?
Your menu sounds great!
I would do the chicken marsala (lighter than the pecan chicken) and then do a pasta entree, as well. Pasta is cheap, and you always want to be sure to have a vegetarian option. Vegetable lasagna might be a nice addition, or penne primavera with lots of vegetables. Other than that, it sounds perfect. I love satay!
Reply:Your menu sounds great. Chicken Marsala (fav. food of mine) is perfect. I've been to a lot of wedding where chicken marsala has been served and there was no whining by guests.
In addition, your hor d'oeuvres are very classy. I worked in a country club and we use to serve chicken satay at fancy wedding and bar/bat mitzah (these parties were 100K+) too. They always flew off the serving trays.
One thing I would do is offer a pasta dish. I would go w/ penne ala vodka. It's classic and tasty.
Great Menu!!!
Reply:It actually sounds REALLY good! You might think about adding a green salad of some type. And if there are children being invited pb%26amp;j sandwiches cut into heart shapes!
Reply:It sounds just lovely! You might want to add several salads - maybe a choice of garden salad or Caesar.
Reply:Your menu sounds fabulous. I agree with everyone else who said add a vegetarian pasta dish in addition to a chicken dish. If you don't want to do a vegetarian pasta maybe try eggplant parmesan.
Reply:Hi,
Looks good!
Do the pecan chicken...marsala's a little too common. Also, add one green salad.
If you are doing skewered items, be sure to have somewhere for the skewers to go when people are finished.
Don't do the pasta unless you can do something very special. It's just too everyday.
Have a great reception!
Reply:Your menu sounds lovely.
Reply:While i like your concept, here's a few changes I would make:
For the appetizers:
You are having beef, chicken, salmon and/or shrimp. I'd cut it down to 2 - the beef and the shrimp. Since you are planning on chicken for the main course, you want a little variety. The choices appeal to a wider variety of tastes. I like the fruit, veggies and cheese platters, but instead of the mini croissants, get loaves of small Italian bread and have it sliced in thicker chunks. It will be a more one bite size, and can easily be eaten with any of your choices.
You are getting suggestions for a green salad and I agree. Why not take it a step further and make a nice Chicken-Pecan Caesar salad? This way you have a 'lighter' dish, and the vegetarians can easily remove the chicken too.
Main Course:
If you would want to serve Salmon as a choice, here's your chance. The rosemary potatoes and green beans are a nice accompaniment. The chicken marsala would appeal to the masses more, but how about a nice choice of pork medallions? They too would work well with the rest of it.
Skip the pasta. Many people are trying to be carb conscious these days and your potatoes will strike the right chord.
You have made some excellent choices - I'm just giving you more ideas :)
Good Luck!
Reply:I think you should add a vegetarian dish to the actual dinner because it seemed there is only meat there. It would make it seem like a better choice for people who dont want to eat meat as much.
Reply:everything sounds greatm you have the right stuff, no pasta you are perfect
Reply:WOW this sounds like a delicious meal. I would love to be a guest. Definitely add a salad as others have suggested. I like the idea of a tossed salad and a caeser salad for 2 choices. I would also follow the suggestion to limit the hors doerves to the salmon and beef and maybe the shrimp, skip the chicken skewers since chicken is your main entree. I wouldn't bother with a pasta if you are going to do a salad option, but I agree maybe add a rice pilaf. Your choices are excellent.
Reply:I think your guests are going to really enjoy this meal!
If everyone on your guest list eats chicken, then I'd stick with that as your main course. Either one sounds tasty. I'd probably pick the bourbon pecan chicken over the chicken marsala, but that's because I'm intrigued by the idea of nuts and chicken together, where I've had a lot of chicken marsala over the years. Your mileage may vary.
Whichever you decide on, this is going to be a tasty meal that most people can easily enjoy. Even my disgustingly picky eater of a husband wouldn't go home hungry, and that's a sure-fire sign you've chosen something most people can enjoy.
Now if we could just angle for an invitation. ; )
Reply:The reception site sounds fine, as long as there's enough space and you decorate it nicely.
The food sounds good but it would be nice to offer a big bowl of salad greens. As for being too rich, it depends on the timing. It might be heavy for a hot afternoon, but dinner would be good. I'd skip the pasta Better to have too much food than too little. You can also add a big batch of rice just as a filler.
Reply:It sounds GREAT, I am starving now!
Its better to have too much food than not enough. You can always pack it up and eat it the next day. As long as the apartment will seat people and you have a cover over the deck or a back up plan in case it rains then it sounds great.
Reply:I think it sounds good too... especially for a nice an outdoor deck setting. However, I would probably add some sort of pasta meal as well as a salad.

Golden ball cactus question?
I have a golden ball cactus. I did something to it that made it go brown near the top. It was a pretty big brown mark and I'm pretty sure that that part is dead. It's about 1 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inches tall. It is also near the top of the cactus. Now, at the top, there are all of this white fluffy stuff and it could be a flower. Will this mark affect how the cactus grows andis the cactus dead even though most of it is green with the small yellow spike things. Just in case, I got this at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix and live in the Western suberbs of Chicago.
Golden ball cactus question?
Two things come to mind. You may have watered it during the winter months, which it can't stand, and rotted the top. Or you watered it and left it to frost, which could have done the same. If you let it go, cacti have tremendous healing power. It will probably always be scarred, but will heal itself and grow beyond it. I would put it in a garage or in the house during the winter,and don't water during this time.

What is the name of this rose?
I saw this rose in the Birmingham (Alabama) Botanical Gardens and fell in love with it. But I can't find another one anywhere, and I can't get back to that garden any time soon. Anyone know what type of rose this is and what it's name (common and latin) is? It is to be the centerpiece of my wedding.

MY SEATTLE TRIP: Please help organize my itinerary?
Hello,
Thanks for reading and responding. I've been planning a trip to Seattle, but I need help organizing it. My interests are outdoor activities %26amp; sights----including hiking, biking, and kayaking; seeing cool neighborhoods; hanging out at coffee houses/bookstores/jazz clubs.
So here's a list of activities and sights I am interested in so far for my nine day stay in Seattle (Sept. 2 - 11). I'm trying to organize all these activities and sights into a feasible itinerary, one in which I economize my time and energy. Please, while I understand that much of how it could be organized depends on many factors, such as my preferences, I could use your guidance! By the way, I will have a car. And on a couple of these days, I'll be hiking with a friend, a long-term resident of Seattle. I would appreciate your suggestions as to how I might make the most of my time and do as many of these as possible. How might you organize the following? Here's my very rough itinerary so far, all of which can be altered, including the particular day I do certain activities:
Starting Sunday, Sept. 2; final day, Mon., Sept. 10:
Day 1, Sun, Sept. 2: Bumbershoot Festival (I arrive from Korea on this day, early morning----not sure if I'll be too tired to get out. I hope not!)
Day 2, Mon., Sept. 3: Bumbershoot Festival (?) I'm not sure if I'm going to do two days of this festival. Maybe just one. Are two days worth it or is one day enough?
Day 3 %26amp; 4, Tues., Sept. 4 %26amp; Wed, Sept 5: I'd like to get an overview of the city by renting a bike and doing the Burke-Gilman Trail. If it helps me get around better than a car, I'd consider renting a bike for two days. While I want to see as much as possible, I'd like to stop and do things along the way.
I realize that I can't do all of these in one day. But here are sctivities/sights I'd like to do, at some point, whether on this day of biking or on some other day:
Neighborhoods:
I like cool neighborhoods with interesting architecture and/or quaint stores/coffee shops
* Fremont
* University District
* Capitol Hill
* Queen Ann
* Ballard Locks
*West Seattle (? not sure---is it worth it?)
* Green Lake (? not sure---is it worth it?)
*Pike's Place Market (I know, not a neighborhood, but a place I could bike to on one of these days?)
CITY PARKS:
There seem to be so many good ones----for amazing views %26amp; beauty----that I'm confused. Which are really worth going to? It seems that most people agree on:
Kerry Park (at night?),
Olympic Sculpture Park,
Volunteer, and
Golden Gardens. Do you agree? I'm not sure about Carkeek or Gas Works though. Are these "duplicates experiences" of other parks?
GARDENS/NATURE CENTERS:
I don't need to see ALL gardens/nature centers of Seattle, just the most significant/beautiful. If they all are worth it, however, then let me know. Which ones? It seems:
* Washington Park Arboretum
* Kubota Garden
* Woodland Park Rose Garden (? "duplicate"?)
* Univ. of Washington Botanical Gardens (? again, "duplicate" of others?)
Day 5, Thursday, Sept. 6: I must take do some shopping for an upcoming backpacking trip. Any suggestions for a good outdoors/backpacking store?
Day 6, Friday, Sept. 7: Kayaking-----on Lake Union? Lake Washington? Also, on this day, the Bainbridge ferry to Bremerton----unless this is a day unto itself.
Day 7, Saturday, Sept. 8: hiking----Mt. St. Helen's
Day 8, Sunday, Sept. 9: hiking----Mt. Rainier (or some place my friend knows)
Day 9, Monday, Sept. 10: A museum (any "musts-sees"?) Relax at some coffee shops? Definitely see a Mariners game that night.
As you can see, I want to stay ACTIVE, but don't get me wrong: I want to have some down time along the way, such as enjoying a meal, hanging out at some cool cafes, coffee houses, and jazz club, not to mention parks.
"Must-visit" Coffee Houses that are COMFORTABLE and w/ATMOSPHERE:
* It seems people are saying: Uptown Espresso, Vivace, Coffee Messiah. Agree?
"Must-visit" restaurants, especially seafood:
* Only got one so far: Ray's
"Must-visit" jazz clubs, especially for "After-hours lounge jazz":
* depends on schedule, I know, but people are talking about The Triple Door.
Notice I'm leaving out many tourist attractions, like the Space Needle and the zoo. These don't seem to be important compared to my priorities. Am I wrong? Have I missed anything?
Thanks so much for any information and/or suggestions which might help me better define my itinerary.
Cheers
MY SEATTLE TRIP: Please help organize my itinerary?
Skip the 2nd day of Bumbershoot, unless there's some band you absolutely want to see. It's do-able in one day.
The Burke-Gilman trail is pretty but won't give you an "overview of the city". It's really more rural. If you want to rent a bike for a day you can get one at Play It Again Sports on Stewart St. downtown. Green Lake is fun to ride around but, you know, it's really just a big lake. Nothing too exciting there.
Fremont is a very cool neighborhood and you could check out stores / coffee houses / restaurants there. Don't miss the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Ave bridge.
Nothing special about the University District, unless you are interested in checking out the campus. I would skip that. Ditto for Queen Anne.
The Ballard Locks are neat and you could do that on the same day you see Fremont. It's fun to watch the locks in action. Check out the salmon ladder too, although there may not be many fish in it this time of year. The locks have a beautiful park that would be nice for a picnic.
If you like the beach head to Alki Beach in West Seattle, otherwise I'd skip West Seattle. Ditto for Golden Gardens (although it's very close to the locks, so you could go there afterwards if you want to).
You absolutely must see Pike Place Market. You could spend a whole day there. I would do that and the Seattle Art Museum on the same day, then have dinner at Wild Ginger. Best restaurant in town. You could also add Olympic Sculpture Garden on the same day.
I think the WA Park Arboretum and Univ of WA Botanical Garden are the same thing. Beautiful place...I got married there! It's pretty big and you probably want to save 1/2 day for that. Great place for bike-riding.
Kubota Gardens are incredible. I take all my out-of-town guests there.
The Triple Door is great; also check out Jazz Alley if they have any live shows while you're here.
Skip the zoo. A zoo is a zoo is a zoo.
I agree with the previous poster that said REI is the place to get your backpacking gear. It's on the corner of Eastlake and Stewart, just a couple of blocks from the place where I said to rent a bike.
As far as the coffee houses, I'd go to Uptown Espresso on Westlake. Or really, any place downtown. I know it's the biggest chain in the universe but I really do like Starbucks. They're consistent, friendly, and you don't have to walk more than 2 feet in this town to find one. :-) Don't go to Vivace...they're total snobs and unless you like a bad attitude with your coffee, I'd never set foot in that place.
So, blah, blah, blah, here's what I would do if I were you:
Day 1: Bumbershoot
Day 2: Fremont, Ballard Locks, maybe Golden Gardens beach.
Day 3: Olympic Sculpture Garden, Pike Place Market (have lunch there too), Seattle Art Museum, dinner at Wild Ginger.
Day 4: REI, then rent a bike and ride up to Capitol Hill and the arboretum. Dinner on Broadway in Capitol Hill (whatever restaurant strikes your fancy). I'd try to stay out of downtown Seattle on the bike.
Day 5: Take the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge then check out Fort Ward State Park. Neat place. Take a bike instead of driving and you'll save a bunch of money. Bainbride is very bike friendly.
Day 6: Relax, see Pioneer Square, spend an afternoon in Elliot Bay Bookstore. Go see some jazz music that night.
Day 7-8: Hiking w/ your friend.
Day 9: Open for anything you want to do. Mariners game at night. Buy snacks outside the stadium and bring them in with you to save a bunch of money.
Hope that helps! Have fun in our BEAUTIFUL city!!!
Reply:Great suggestions by other posters, so won't duplicate. I second the notion that 1 day of bumbershoot is enough. Pick one day where the bands you want to see are playing.
Gas Works Park is right on the Burke-Gilman on the north side of Lake Union, so that can be park of a bicycle trip.
Greenlake is also a great place to ride bikes and hang out, as long as the weather is still good.
SAM is good, but might want to visit the Boeing Museum of Flight, it's unique to this area and is quite fun. That is south of downtown just off the 5.
MOHAI (Museum of History and Industry) is near the UW campus. It only takes an hour or so. You could also rent a canoe at UW to paddle around the arboretum and under the 520.
Pike Place Market also has some good bookstores, especially down on the second floor. Mister E books is one of my faves. Don't miss the flying fish right out front and right across from it is a great bakery, i always get a wonderful creampuff and canoli there.
M's game, be sure to go the 300 level on the 3rd base side to lookout landing. Great view of the Sound and the city, and great sunsets in the summer
Reply:Wow, you are so detailed on your question. That is great!! I would find a guidebook on seattle to help you locate some of those details.
Yes the locks are a nice place to see and likewise also the pike place market. you Must go to REI- the downtown flagship store. I would see if you could go maybe withyour friend up to snoqualmie Falls, its about 45 mins north of seattle(need a car to get there). It is spectacular. Have a great time.
Reply:Ok I tried to get a detailed answer but I got bogged down.
There is no way you'll be able to do this all. So my suggestion is to get here, see what sounds good and don't worry whether you have seen "the best" or "the most" - if you enjoy yourself and have a good trip, then who cares?
Now some of the specifics:
REI is where you want to buy your backpacking gear www.rei.com
There are too many coffee shops to count in this town. Everyone has their favorite. If you want to try one of those that have been recommend as "good" that's fine. But you are likely to find a comfortable coffee shop with atmosphere just about every block in the commercial areas of the neighborhoods you are talking about visiting.
Yes, the Triple Door and Dmitriou's Jazz Alley are the places to catch some Jazz.
"Must Visit Restaurants" for seafood include Rays, but by all means are not limited to it. Here are some others to consider:
Palisades
Flying Fish
Eliott's on Lake Union
Ponti Grill
Wild Ginger (more than just seafood)
Any of the McCormick and Schmick restaurants
All of these are upscale seafood restaurants where you would have a great seafood meal. I'm in the seafood business, and I've entertained customers at all of these restaurants. And if you are interested in sushi, we have some fantastic sushi restaurants as well.
Have a great trip!
Thanks for reading and responding. I've been planning a trip to Seattle, but I need help organizing it. My interests are outdoor activities %26amp; sights----including hiking, biking, and kayaking; seeing cool neighborhoods; hanging out at coffee houses/bookstores/jazz clubs.
So here's a list of activities and sights I am interested in so far for my nine day stay in Seattle (Sept. 2 - 11). I'm trying to organize all these activities and sights into a feasible itinerary, one in which I economize my time and energy. Please, while I understand that much of how it could be organized depends on many factors, such as my preferences, I could use your guidance! By the way, I will have a car. And on a couple of these days, I'll be hiking with a friend, a long-term resident of Seattle. I would appreciate your suggestions as to how I might make the most of my time and do as many of these as possible. How might you organize the following? Here's my very rough itinerary so far, all of which can be altered, including the particular day I do certain activities:
Starting Sunday, Sept. 2; final day, Mon., Sept. 10:
Day 1, Sun, Sept. 2: Bumbershoot Festival (I arrive from Korea on this day, early morning----not sure if I'll be too tired to get out. I hope not!)
Day 2, Mon., Sept. 3: Bumbershoot Festival (?) I'm not sure if I'm going to do two days of this festival. Maybe just one. Are two days worth it or is one day enough?
Day 3 %26amp; 4, Tues., Sept. 4 %26amp; Wed, Sept 5: I'd like to get an overview of the city by renting a bike and doing the Burke-Gilman Trail. If it helps me get around better than a car, I'd consider renting a bike for two days. While I want to see as much as possible, I'd like to stop and do things along the way.
I realize that I can't do all of these in one day. But here are sctivities/sights I'd like to do, at some point, whether on this day of biking or on some other day:
Neighborhoods:
I like cool neighborhoods with interesting architecture and/or quaint stores/coffee shops
* Fremont
* University District
* Capitol Hill
* Queen Ann
* Ballard Locks
*West Seattle (? not sure---is it worth it?)
* Green Lake (? not sure---is it worth it?)
*Pike's Place Market (I know, not a neighborhood, but a place I could bike to on one of these days?)
CITY PARKS:
There seem to be so many good ones----for amazing views %26amp; beauty----that I'm confused. Which are really worth going to? It seems that most people agree on:
Kerry Park (at night?),
Olympic Sculpture Park,
Volunteer, and
Golden Gardens. Do you agree? I'm not sure about Carkeek or Gas Works though. Are these "duplicates experiences" of other parks?
GARDENS/NATURE CENTERS:
I don't need to see ALL gardens/nature centers of Seattle, just the most significant/beautiful. If they all are worth it, however, then let me know. Which ones? It seems:
* Washington Park Arboretum
* Kubota Garden
* Woodland Park Rose Garden (? "duplicate"?)
* Univ. of Washington Botanical Gardens (? again, "duplicate" of others?)
Day 5, Thursday, Sept. 6: I must take do some shopping for an upcoming backpacking trip. Any suggestions for a good outdoors/backpacking store?
Day 6, Friday, Sept. 7: Kayaking-----on Lake Union? Lake Washington? Also, on this day, the Bainbridge ferry to Bremerton----unless this is a day unto itself.
Day 7, Saturday, Sept. 8: hiking----Mt. St. Helen's
Day 8, Sunday, Sept. 9: hiking----Mt. Rainier (or some place my friend knows)
Day 9, Monday, Sept. 10: A museum (any "musts-sees"?) Relax at some coffee shops? Definitely see a Mariners game that night.
As you can see, I want to stay ACTIVE, but don't get me wrong: I want to have some down time along the way, such as enjoying a meal, hanging out at some cool cafes, coffee houses, and jazz club, not to mention parks.
"Must-visit" Coffee Houses that are COMFORTABLE and w/ATMOSPHERE:
* It seems people are saying: Uptown Espresso, Vivace, Coffee Messiah. Agree?
"Must-visit" restaurants, especially seafood:
* Only got one so far: Ray's
"Must-visit" jazz clubs, especially for "After-hours lounge jazz":
* depends on schedule, I know, but people are talking about The Triple Door.
Notice I'm leaving out many tourist attractions, like the Space Needle and the zoo. These don't seem to be important compared to my priorities. Am I wrong? Have I missed anything?
Thanks so much for any information and/or suggestions which might help me better define my itinerary.
Cheers
MY SEATTLE TRIP: Please help organize my itinerary?
Skip the 2nd day of Bumbershoot, unless there's some band you absolutely want to see. It's do-able in one day.
The Burke-Gilman trail is pretty but won't give you an "overview of the city". It's really more rural. If you want to rent a bike for a day you can get one at Play It Again Sports on Stewart St. downtown. Green Lake is fun to ride around but, you know, it's really just a big lake. Nothing too exciting there.
Fremont is a very cool neighborhood and you could check out stores / coffee houses / restaurants there. Don't miss the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Ave bridge.
Nothing special about the University District, unless you are interested in checking out the campus. I would skip that. Ditto for Queen Anne.
The Ballard Locks are neat and you could do that on the same day you see Fremont. It's fun to watch the locks in action. Check out the salmon ladder too, although there may not be many fish in it this time of year. The locks have a beautiful park that would be nice for a picnic.
If you like the beach head to Alki Beach in West Seattle, otherwise I'd skip West Seattle. Ditto for Golden Gardens (although it's very close to the locks, so you could go there afterwards if you want to).
You absolutely must see Pike Place Market. You could spend a whole day there. I would do that and the Seattle Art Museum on the same day, then have dinner at Wild Ginger. Best restaurant in town. You could also add Olympic Sculpture Garden on the same day.
I think the WA Park Arboretum and Univ of WA Botanical Garden are the same thing. Beautiful place...I got married there! It's pretty big and you probably want to save 1/2 day for that. Great place for bike-riding.
Kubota Gardens are incredible. I take all my out-of-town guests there.
The Triple Door is great; also check out Jazz Alley if they have any live shows while you're here.
Skip the zoo. A zoo is a zoo is a zoo.
I agree with the previous poster that said REI is the place to get your backpacking gear. It's on the corner of Eastlake and Stewart, just a couple of blocks from the place where I said to rent a bike.
As far as the coffee houses, I'd go to Uptown Espresso on Westlake. Or really, any place downtown. I know it's the biggest chain in the universe but I really do like Starbucks. They're consistent, friendly, and you don't have to walk more than 2 feet in this town to find one. :-) Don't go to Vivace...they're total snobs and unless you like a bad attitude with your coffee, I'd never set foot in that place.
So, blah, blah, blah, here's what I would do if I were you:
Day 1: Bumbershoot
Day 2: Fremont, Ballard Locks, maybe Golden Gardens beach.
Day 3: Olympic Sculpture Garden, Pike Place Market (have lunch there too), Seattle Art Museum, dinner at Wild Ginger.
Day 4: REI, then rent a bike and ride up to Capitol Hill and the arboretum. Dinner on Broadway in Capitol Hill (whatever restaurant strikes your fancy). I'd try to stay out of downtown Seattle on the bike.
Day 5: Take the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge then check out Fort Ward State Park. Neat place. Take a bike instead of driving and you'll save a bunch of money. Bainbride is very bike friendly.
Day 6: Relax, see Pioneer Square, spend an afternoon in Elliot Bay Bookstore. Go see some jazz music that night.
Day 7-8: Hiking w/ your friend.
Day 9: Open for anything you want to do. Mariners game at night. Buy snacks outside the stadium and bring them in with you to save a bunch of money.
Hope that helps! Have fun in our BEAUTIFUL city!!!
Reply:Great suggestions by other posters, so won't duplicate. I second the notion that 1 day of bumbershoot is enough. Pick one day where the bands you want to see are playing.
Gas Works Park is right on the Burke-Gilman on the north side of Lake Union, so that can be park of a bicycle trip.
Greenlake is also a great place to ride bikes and hang out, as long as the weather is still good.
SAM is good, but might want to visit the Boeing Museum of Flight, it's unique to this area and is quite fun. That is south of downtown just off the 5.
MOHAI (Museum of History and Industry) is near the UW campus. It only takes an hour or so. You could also rent a canoe at UW to paddle around the arboretum and under the 520.
Pike Place Market also has some good bookstores, especially down on the second floor. Mister E books is one of my faves. Don't miss the flying fish right out front and right across from it is a great bakery, i always get a wonderful creampuff and canoli there.
M's game, be sure to go the 300 level on the 3rd base side to lookout landing. Great view of the Sound and the city, and great sunsets in the summer
Reply:Wow, you are so detailed on your question. That is great!! I would find a guidebook on seattle to help you locate some of those details.
Yes the locks are a nice place to see and likewise also the pike place market. you Must go to REI- the downtown flagship store. I would see if you could go maybe withyour friend up to snoqualmie Falls, its about 45 mins north of seattle(need a car to get there). It is spectacular. Have a great time.
Reply:Ok I tried to get a detailed answer but I got bogged down.
There is no way you'll be able to do this all. So my suggestion is to get here, see what sounds good and don't worry whether you have seen "the best" or "the most" - if you enjoy yourself and have a good trip, then who cares?
Now some of the specifics:
REI is where you want to buy your backpacking gear www.rei.com
There are too many coffee shops to count in this town. Everyone has their favorite. If you want to try one of those that have been recommend as "good" that's fine. But you are likely to find a comfortable coffee shop with atmosphere just about every block in the commercial areas of the neighborhoods you are talking about visiting.
Yes, the Triple Door and Dmitriou's Jazz Alley are the places to catch some Jazz.
"Must Visit Restaurants" for seafood include Rays, but by all means are not limited to it. Here are some others to consider:
Palisades
Flying Fish
Eliott's on Lake Union
Ponti Grill
Wild Ginger (more than just seafood)
Any of the McCormick and Schmick restaurants
All of these are upscale seafood restaurants where you would have a great seafood meal. I'm in the seafood business, and I've entertained customers at all of these restaurants. And if you are interested in sushi, we have some fantastic sushi restaurants as well.
Have a great trip!
Is it really easier for "Illegal Aliens" to enter into the USA by boat through the Florida stretch ?
The Mexican destination of Cozumel, the country's largest inhabited island and, according to Mayan legends, the home to Goddess Ixchel, has become a stronghold for multidestination, due to the unique wealth of the Mexican Caribbean region.
According to history, the islanders built temples to honor Ixchel, the goddess of love and fertility, and she, in return, sent the swallow - her favorite bird - as a gesture of gratitude, thus the name of "The Island of the Swallows".
Cozumel, which lies 19 kilometers of the coast of Yucatan, benefits from the existence of many white-sanded beaches of crystal-clear waters, which are an invitation to diving enthusiasts.
In the western part of the island, Chankanaab Lagoon offers divers beautiful limestone caverns, in addition to the Archeological Park, which features jungle trails, replicas of Mexican regions and even a typical Maya village.
There is also an excellent Botanical Garden, featuring more than 300 species from 22 countries.

Cuban immigrants who land in Florida are given asylum. Thus they are not illegal. However, those caught at sea are returned to Cuba.
Reply:No... that would be a hellofa boat ride... the Cubans have problems and they're only 90 miles away. Nice travel loge but it has absolutely nothing to do with your question.
Reply:I think you meant to but this in the "travel agent" category. Nice attempt though.
Reply:ok, well if its so fabulous and beautiful then all the illegals that are here, can go and live there. In about a year it will be a slum.
Reply:Yes, but the most common places are houston, texas and phoenix, arizona. We encountered them everyday.

How did you/will you do the table settings at the reception?
I am doing everything for my reception myself with the help of my family and friends. Its at the New York Botanical Garden, and in May, but I do not want to over do it in regards to decorations yet I do not want it to look cheap and tacky. Any ideas?
How did you/will you do the table settings at the reception?
Keep it simple. That is such a lovely place already it doesn't need a whole lot done to it.
http://www.surroundings.com/order.cgi?ca...
I would think about using some of the centerpieces that they sell on this website. You don't have to buy the supplies from here, it's pretty basic. But you can get some ideas.
You could be surprised how much candles and some nice rose petals can look. Also, if you wanted to go with the floating candles, look into floralytes. You can drop them in there and they look beautiful...here are a few pics

Reply:You'll probably want to lay low with flowers, considering the setting. Candle centerpieces are nice, but make sure they're unscented candles, as no one finds candle wax particularly palatable.
Does the reception hall have their own linens, etc? If not, choose something subtle and neutral to contrast with the wild colors of the flowers outdoors. Some other good ideas:
A basket of digital disposable cameras at each table so everyone can help take pictures (people REALLY seem to enjoy this!).
Wine glass markers - the small kind that go around the bottom of the wine stem, so people have a tasteful way to tell which drink is theirs. Usually they are metal rings with charms such as a bunch of grapes or wine bottles etc.
Personalized place markers always make people feel special.
And everyone loves a "goody-bag" - what you put in it can be personalized, if you have that kind of time, or it can be a simple selection of gourmet candies, something engraved with the bride/groom name/initials and date, and some birdseed packages made of lightly gathered colored netting tied with a ribbon to throw later.
Reply:candles are great. i've also seen picture frames. just flowers are good. you could use lanterns. you could do camera's. personally i wouldn't consider it but some people like it. the problem with them though is that you get a bunch of pictures with people putting their hands over their faces or turning around, or pictures of the ground. In the end you end up having to pay the money to get every camera developed. My cousin did this. after she forked over the money to get more than 30 cameras developed, she had 3 pictures that were worth keeping.
Reply:If it's outside (%26amp; at night), don't underestimate the power of white Christmas lights. Other than that, just go with basic centerpieces on the tables. Since it's at a place like the Botanical Garden, you could use tropical looking flowers.
Reply:a nice candle floral arrangement would look nice. colors to match the wedding party.
Reply:ours were very simple. orchids, 4 votive candles, table card, carafe of water, water glasses, napkins tied with coordinating ribbon, silverware
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h149/l...
The total cost per table was less than $20 to decorate.
Reply:Candles, candles, candles....they are inexpensive and add a great ambiance. The great thing about gardens is they really need very little additional decor.
Reply:Congratulations. My table setting was just a cream color - wanted it to look classy. The centerpiece was a round mirror and on top of the mirror were glass bowls filled with simple floating flowers and around the bowls were small cream candles. It was really nice.
Have fun!

Things to do for kids age 4 and 3 in atlanta?
I am trying to decide a city to take a another vacation in this summer. We've already done Destin, Florida which was great and beautiful. I'm am considering Atlanta, but it doesn't seem real kid friendly. I know taking in a Braves game and the Children's Museum of Atlanta (Imagine It!) would be some good options but other than that, they would get bored if we were to go to the CNN, World of Coke, or the Botanical Gardens. I have read reviews of the Zoo which they said was like any ordinary zoo (small) and the aquarium which they said was to expensive and crowded for what you see.
Things to do for kids age 4 and 3 in atlanta?
The new aquarium!!!! It's great, new, huge and kids will love it. You too.
choose roller blades

What are some neat/fun things to do around the phoenix and mesa area? .?
My 6 month old son and I will be visiting the area to see my brother. So obviously it will have to be baby friendly. We have already been to the zoo and botanical garden out there.. so we wondered what else might be fun to do!?
What are some neat/fun things to do around the phoenix and mesa area? .?
You could try the Mesa Museum for Youth, it is an interactive children's museum with a special area just for kids 4 %26amp; under, located in downtown Mesa. The World Wildlife Zoo is a lot of fun but in far West Phoenix. Depending what time of the year you are in town, maybe a trip out to Schnepf's Farm in Queen Creek. Is he crawling yet? If so, he might enjoy Toy Town miniature village in Tempe. You might enjoy the AZ Science Center in downtown Phoenix, more for adults and older kids but it is designed as a hands on place for kids so no one is going to complain if the baby makes noise. If your brother has older kids, you could do Makatu's Island in Ahwatukee. The older kids will be on their own with fully controlled access for saftey, then there is a smaller area just for the little ones with mini-slides and soft blocks. Jeepers in Mesa also has an area good for the little ones to play while the older ones go on the larger rides. I would recommend having your brother pick up a copy of the free monthly magazine Arizona Parenting from a local library for other seasonal or daily events.
Reply:Try the World Wildlife Zoo and around Reems and Northern you can feed the giraffes
Also, we love the McCormick Train Park on Scottsdale Rd.
Depending when you're visiting, try taking the little one to the fountains at Desert Ridge (Tatum and Loop 101) to play in.

I am looking for the botanical name for a (australian?) Cryptogam (or lichin) commonly called old man's beard.
It looks like think tangled grey/green hair, and hangs from branches in the bush and rainforest.
sometimes it is seen hanging in garden shops, but never for sale.
It MAY be a form of what some people call "reindeer moss"..
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
