Comments (1)hi ralph .... i dont think anyone here is going to be excited with your reliance on the leylands ... the upside of fast.. simply has too many negatives ... but you could use some.. but dont plant them altogether ... no use spending 10 years to grow a screen.. only to have the whole die.. whereas between the thuja.. if one thing dies.. the others remain ... i would hope you could find something outside of the leyland family.. but also outside the thuja.. since you have a lot of those.. though they are rather bulletproof ... maybe another cyrpto or two ... the norway spruce is a telephone pole tree ... it will be a monster in a couple decades .... i would NOT plant one.. without at least an acre or two .... perhaps you wont be around to worry about it in 20 years.. whatever ... on this one: Cupressus nootkatensis .. look for the pendula ... and finally.. you said: I currently have a few eastern red cedars near 50' and would prefer that most trees don't tip out that high for posterity. ==>> as you are noting.. conifers are trees... and they really NEVER stop growing ... its all about annual growth.. and how fast they grow skywards.. per year ... nothing magically stops growing at some given height ... so something that grow 3 feet per year.. will be 30 feet in 10 years ... where as one foot per year.. 10 feet ... with screening.. its maddening.. because you want it screened yesterday .... but you dont want it 100 feet tomorrow.. what a wicked game we play ... see link for tutorial on growth rates.. and more ... good luck ken Here is a link that might be useful: also look for the link for coniferbase ... and figure out how that works.. to MAYBE get info on various cultivar names .......See MoreMy visit to Canyon Ranch...one item checked off bucket list
Comments (8)Do you usually go to Kripalu alone? I have travelled by myself a fair amount but I would much rather do a spa thing with friends or as a couple. I think "summer camp" is an apt corollary, and that's why friends make all the difference. You may want to try it again with a group; then you could spend your time making fun of the biatchy crowd which is much more satisfying then mumbling to yourself. Plus I think things like bracelet making would be more fun with friends, too....See MoreCheck out this cool listing---Time warp
Comments (34)I don't hate it the way I expected to. I actually like the chartreuse carpet in the dining room, foyer, and living room - interesting pattern - not that I would want to live with it. The paneled walls would be nicer if they had a bleached or pickled finish - they are an "off" color for me, but would be even worse if they were darker. I very much disagree with the agent that "it would be a shame to lose this look into the past." I would have no problem losing it, but I have seen a lot worse. I lived in San Francisco in the 1970s (until the end of 1984), and I do not remember seeing any of the horrendous 1970s designs there, except for the tacky furniture stores on Mission Street. Most people (not including the Mission District back then) who lived there when I did had different taste. I remember that there was a revival of Art Nouveau in the early 1970s, and a lot of people I knew decorated with Art Deco antiques and rugs (which weren't that old then) and textiles/drapes from the 1930s and 1940s. By the end of the 1970s, there was a revival of 1950s styles in San Francisco, and by the 1980s, contemporary Italian furniture and furnishings were popular. I think the 1970s browns with avocado green and burnt orange fit in with Victorian architecture, which may have been why it did not catch on there. Also, I believe that there was a disdain for the bourgeois styles associated with 1970s suburbia. I supposed that inner city styles have always been different from suburban styles, although I think that there is more overlapping now. There are a few recent horrendous decorating trends that will give people pause in the future, such as barn doors, raw shiplap on wall, words on walls, and other things that could be considered minor. I think that open floor plans are going to need to go through a transformation - perhaps when we have fewer helicopter parents. I've lived in quite a few places that had huge beautiful double pocket doors that allowed spaces to be transformed at will so that living areas could be made more intimate. So many of today's spaces lack intimacy. I have never considered kitchens to be entertaining or living spaces, and I like being able to close them off to everything else. Also, I don't like visitors in my kitchens, and I am very focused when I am cooking, so that I do not need distractions....See Moreterezosa / terriks

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoOne of my favorite hotels is a Four Seasons in Istanbul. It has wonderful rooftop views of the Hagia Sophia and the minarets of the Blue Mosque, which look like images from a fairy tale book.
It was formerly a prison.
I didn't give it much thought but, when I took DH there, he thought it was very bad karma. And I suppose so. Interestingly, on Wikipedia they downplay its past and make it seem almost like a waypoint with what seems to be a poorly translated sentence "...constructed in a contemporary concept considering the regulation of the daily life and relationship with the outside of inmates, who were awaiting trial or serving brief sentences." But later in the same entry they say "a prison reserved for writers, journalists, artists as intellectual dissidents. " That paints a different picture.
