Its signature foliage, usually gray-green, is highly decorative, and the plants require almost no care once they are established. Today, various members of the large thyme tribe are used in herb gardens, of course, but also as ornamentals in flower gardens and as ground covers. Today, the essential oil from thyme is still commonly used-its a major ingredient in Listerine! Best of all, of course, is Thymes heavenly fragrance. ![]() Its been claimed to be everything from a trance-inducing drug to an aphrodisiac. Romans loved the fragrance and planted it all over Europe. 49.99 Add to Cart Stay Protected with Plant Sentry Details Grow an amazingly versatile groundcover just like an aromatic carpet Creeping Thyme (Thymus praecox 'Coccineus') is an adaptable and hardworking accent plant that is aromatic from top to bottom (all 3-4 inches of its height anyway). The deep, lavender-red blooms are a welcome sight in the summer garden. Thyme is one of the most historic plants on earth. Red Creeping Thyme is a creeping perennial that makes a beautiful ground cover. Many gardeners who grow it even use it in areas where it gets light foot traffic! And it goes right on being beautiful and green, with wonderful flowers every year.Ĭreeping Thyme must have a fast-draining location, since this plant, like lavender, is a dry land species, making it extremely drought-tolerant. The flowers arrive in late spring into early summer, and cover the plant totally, almost obscuring the foliage.įor something so attractive, creeping thyme is as durable and tough as most lawn grasses. Its famous for cascading down over retaining walls and rocks. This amazing plant forms a mat of tough, attractive fragrant greenery that's perfect for rock gardens, areas around walks or steps, and between stepping stones.

Usually there are people around but it was surprisingly quiet that day (too cold outside?)īelow: Take a few more steps towards Metropolitan United and then turn around. In this case, the setting adds to the grace and beauty of the building. Even if you aren’t religious, there is something inspiring about the architecture. ![]() ![]() Plus, it was a nice day for a walk.īelow: Looking north up Church Street from Richmond.īelow: Metropolitan United Church is on the NW corner of Queen and Church. I had come across King Street because the streetcars tend to be faster on King these days. I was there a few minutes early so of course I took a few pictures while I was waiting. I was meeting a friend at Queen and Church for walkies and coffee last Monday. The mural was part of the STEPS Initiative Program and it also involved StART (StreetARToronto), the owners of the residence, and a number of other partners. The colours are reflections from the mural. These were painted by local artists before Okudart finished the piece.īelow: The church across the street does not have stained glass windows. The background of the mural consists of large rainbow coloured stripes on top and black on the bottom. Is that a man on the left?īelow: Under the globe another female figure with a blue nose. One blue eye in the Atlantic Ocean and one orange eye in Asia. A black and white globe with a mouth in Africa. A blue conical beak and feathery wings on a female human like figure who is sitting on three large heads.īelow: Just a bit lower on the mural – more beaks but this time they look like carrots. The artist, Okudart, has already signed the piece.īelow: The very top portion. No one was painting when I walked past this afternoon.

Not just a new mural but also a new landmark.īelow: It’s painted on the side of the Parkside student residence (once the Primrose Hotel) on the SW corner of Jarvis and Carlton streets. The flora and fauna is in good company, as the conservatory is also home to turtles, birds, fish and more.Equilibrium, by Okuda San Miguel, aka Okudartīelow: As seen from Sherbourne street. Separated into two greenhouses - a tropical house and an arid house - it's fit to house everything from agave to orchids. Its lone greenhouse mimics the cool, moist conditions of a rainforest and houses tree ferns, palms, cacti and a waterfall.Ĭentennial Park Conservatory This Etobicoke conservatory is an expansive 12,000 foot green space. It also hosts flower shows every season, if you're looking to discover flowers outside the permanent collection.Ĭloud Gardens Cloud Gardens Conservatory, located in the heart of the Financial District, offers a much needed retreat from office towers and traffic-filled streets of downtown Toronto. Open 365 days a year, this conservatory allows you to experience the joys of greenery even on the dreariest days. Inside are six greenhouses, each suited to the plants within - from tropical flowers to cacti. Here are my picks for the top indoor gardens in and around Toronto.Īllan Gardens Built in 1910, Allan Gardens has established itself as a landmark in the city. These foliage filled havens offer a much needed contrast to the snowy streets of the city in the winter, but can still be enjoyed when the temperature rises above zero. Indoor gardens in and around Toronto are a welcome respite from the cold weather. There's almost always room to bulldoze half a city, pass a bond measure, and start over. Learning through failure is a frustration SimCity gets away with by allowing for failure. Sims sometimes do dumb things, or have unexpected complaints, and identifying and solving these behaviors takes time. Even after nearly 100 hours, I'm still discovering new quirks and features of the simulation. The only way to learn how to plan for and balance all this is trial and error. Getting a handle on such minutiae becomes overwhelming when I try to expand too fast. And because service vehicles like fire trucks have to actually drive to where they're needed, seemingly minor details like whether they're more likely to make right or left turns out of their garages really do matter. Bigger cities also need more water, more power, more sewage treatment, and more garbage trucks, as well as police, fire, and health coverage, public transportation, parks, and schools.īuildings can be upgraded, but even upgrades such as extra water pumps and fire truck garages need space. As houses become towers, too many intersections and not enough high-capacity avenues will cause traffic gridlocks, and density won't increase at all without enough space. The early game is all about anticipating the midgame. Big decisions like this happen at every stage of a city's development, and my choices often influence how I feel about my city more than my city itself. ![]() The type of power plant I choose first will influence the whole narrative of my city, not because I can't switch at any time, but because I refuse to be an inconsistent mayor. Clean energy solutions-wind and solar plants-also pump power into the city, but require swaths of valuable land to keep the lights on. In the beginning, demand for services is low, and how you choose to provide power to your city is the most important decision early in the game.Ĭoal and oil plants cough out pollution and require resources from mines or the Global Market, an online feature that functions as a commodities exchange enabling players to buy and sell resources. ![]() At the macro scale, beautiful data overlays show me subterranean concentrations of water, as well as resources like ore, coal, and oil, which I can exploit when my city is ready for heavy industry. ![]() The conditions for victory vary depending on the map, including conquest of all enemies and towns, collection of a certain amount of a resource, or finding the grail artifact. The hero will progress in experience by engaging in combat with enemy heroes and monsters. The player creates an army by spending resources at one of the eight town types in the game. The gameplay is divided into two parts, tactical overland exploration and a turn-based combat system. The gameplay is very similar to its predecessors in that the player controls a number of heroes that command an army of creatures inspired by myth and legend. ![]() The player can choose to play through six different campaigns telling the story, or play in a scenario against computer or human opponents. ![]() The game's story is first referenced throughout Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven and takes place before Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor. It is the third installment of the Heroes of Might and Magic series. In 2000, the Dreamcast port was cancelled. An Apple Macintosh port was released by 3DO, and a Linux port was released by Loki Software, both later that year.

I also love Young Living oils but if you are looking for a one-time purchase, this is the way to go. This is the brand I use (affiliate link) from Plant Therapy. Many are diluted with additional oils, additives and chemicals and if you are going to ingest them or put them on your body they need to be pure. That’s why I recommend purchasing yours from a reliable source. What about peppermint oil? Aren’t they all the same? Specific to the mint family is a compound called Rosmarinic Acid which helps reduce symptoms of allergies like runny nose, itchy eyes and even asthma. Peppermint oil has been shown to fight E.coli and Staphylococcus–a bacteria that causes some cases of pneumonia. Typically more from the oil than the tea, breathing in the smell of mint can help put a little pep in your drowsy step. Peppermint has been shown to support energy levels throughout the day. Keep in mind that peppermint oil does have side effects, so make sure it’s okay with your doctor to use the oil before you pick any up and dilute it heavily with a carrier oil before applying it to children–and never on babies younger than 3 months old. Need proof? Check out this study where over 2,000 children used peppermint to manage abdominal pain. Sipping on a freshly brewed tea is a great option (recipe to follow) but the essential oil applied to the abdomen is also helpful. Nausea, bloating, diarrhea, and indigestion may all be eased with a bit of peppermint. Peppermint is often my own first line of support for headaches here at home. ![]() In one study, 35 people who used peppermint oil had reduced pain after two hours compared to a placebo oil. ![]() When used in the essential oil form, peppermint has been shown to relax muscles and the tingling sensation reduces pain. When the plant itself is utilized–whether fresh, dried or even in a concentrated high quality essential oil, its benefits come full circle. There’s power in the plant! Jump to RecipeĪ blend of spearmint and water mint, peppermint is made for much more than your convenience store chewing gum. Feeling a little nauseated? Need an afternoon pick me up? Skip the caffeine and reach for this power-packed affordable herb. The benefits of peppermint have been known for centuries and it’s not out of style now. Hopefully, Scola will be another piece of the puzzle that the Rockets are attempting to build so they can regain their elite championship stats from the 1990s.ĭespite losing Yao Ming to a season-ending foot injury last season, the Rockets still won ten games in their 22-game win streak last season without him. Scola has brought some much needed rebounding and inside presence that the Rockets desperately showed a lack of in their 2006 NBA Playoffs loss to the Utah Jazz, and he came at a very small price as the Rockets traded away seldom-used Vassilis Spanoulis for him. Artest brings offensive scoring to the team, and strengthens the already strong Rockets defense. There is no question that he will start at SG, unless he is injured.Īrtest reunites with coach Rick Adelman, as he played under Adelman in Sacramento for half a year. His eleven years of experience bring knowledge and leadership to the table. If Francis is not 100% coming into the season, I would give the edge to Rafer Alston, who has been in the league just as long as Francis. Still, when he is healthy, Francis is a beast. Steve Francis, who has been a starting point guard for many years, has been plagued by knee injuries the past two seasons. The starting point guard position is difficult to pick and/or predict. Here is my projected starting lineup for the Rockets: There is also a calming presence of leadership to a relatively young team in some aspects. This roster is simply put, loaded with talent. Speaking of which, let's get right to analyzing the Rockets' current roster. In 2002, Aldelman led the Sacramento Kings to the 2002 Western Conference Finals, where they eventually were beat out by the eventual champions, the Lakers.Īs you can see, Aldelman brings great coaching experience and knowledge to this already loaded roster. In the 1991 Western Conference Finals, the Blazers were eliminated by the Magic Johnson led Los Angeles Lakers, and in '92, the Blazers made it to the NBA Finals again, before losing to the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls. In 1990, the Blazers advanced to the NBA Finals where they were knocked off by the Isiah Thomas led Detroit Pistons. When coaching in Portland, he helped lead the Blazers to three straight Western Conference Finals appearances from 1990-1992. Record vs.Aldelman has coached the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, and Golden State Warriors. Roster 2009–10 Houston Rockets roster Players July 8 – The free agency period started.June 25 – The 2009 NBA draft took place in New York City.Despite losing two All-Stars, the Rockets finished 42–40, but did not clinch a playoff spot. Mid-season, All-Star Tracy McGrady, who was working his way back from knee surgery that kept him out of last season, was traded to the New York Knicks. This injury would soon be considered career-threatening. The news broke in the off-season when center Yao Ming would miss the upcoming season due to foot surgery. The 2009–10 Houston Rockets season was the 43rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). ![]() NBA professional basketball team season 2009–10 Houston Rockets season custom options parsing allows for per-sheet options.zM, which does row-wise expansion of iterables in a column (very useful with nested data).the "i" family of commands to add an increment column.more visibility for long values, with "v" to toggle multi-line rows and and z+hjkl to adjust cell offset.Here's curated list of highlights, the ones that seemed like people would be interested to know about: It may not seem like much now, but I predict that this becomes a sleeper hit. The fancy chooser (now the default for choosing aggregators or jointypes) uses this split window, and I have many other ideas for it as well. One panel contains the current/top sheet, the other panel contains the sheet "under" the top sheet. ![]() Press Shift+Z to split the terminal window into a top panel and bottom panel. Of course they all look the same in VisiData so I can go back and forth without any friction. json file and used that for a few months, and now I've been using it in an sqlite database. I've been using it to manage my mp3 collection and my personal contacts database, which was a tsv file until I wanted to add a multiline "notes" field, so I saved it as a. This means vd can work quite naturally as an interactive file manager, or as a sqlite database editor. These changes are colorized on the screen and can be saved as data (or not saved, in the case of deletes) with save-sheet (Ctrl+S), even if they haven't been committed back to the original source with commit-sheet. Deferred modificationsĬertain sheets which know how to incrementally update their source-notably, the DirSheet and SqliteSheet- defer changes made to them, requiring an explicit save/commit step with commit-sheet (z Ctrl+S). If you upgrade to 2.0 and learn nothing else about it, your life will be better for knowing Shift+U (undo) and Shift+R (redo). This is a "game changer" according to and redo, along with the new guard-sheet command, make it much easier to rely on VisiData for data cleaning and data entry. It still needs a bit more polish, but the meat and bones are there. Take a look at the actual API, at /docs/api. (We don't intend to strictly adhere to "semver", but it's still important to try to maintain backwards compatibility within a major version number.) So now, we have an API spec with over 200 functions, which will be of interest if you want to customize VisiData, or create a plugin for it, or just to know more about its internal components. I knew I wanted to go through every function and decide whether I wanted to include it in the 2.0 API to be supported for the rest of the 2.x lifecycle, which might be years. ![]() To be honest, this is what held off the 2.0 release for so long. The last released version of vdtui.py under MIT was 1.5.2 if anyone wants to use that. It's now just the visidata module as a whole, which I'm releasing under GP元. Approximately no one showed interest in that though, and it became unwieldy to maintain, so over the course of developing VisiData 2.0, the vdtui library was thoroughly dismantled. Previously, there was a core vdtui single-file library that I licensed as MIT, as I thought it might be a platform for a variety of apps like VisiData. And, most importantly, an API specification for plugins. It's got several major improvements, a bunch of new loaders, and tons of new features and quality of life improvements. After almost 2 years of development, version 2.0 of VisiData is finally released. ![]() If CitEc recognized a bibliographic reference but did not link an item in RePEc to it, you can help with this form.

Through May 2023, an equally weighted portfolio of these 20 stocks mentioned above would have underperformed VYM by about 6%, largely due to the market volatility in the Banking sector. The goal of my high yield watchlist is to discover companies to add to my dividend growth portfolio in an attempt to consistently exceed the market return of the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF ( VYM). CompanyĪmerican Electric Power Company Inc ( AEP) The difference is 72 basis points or approximately 22%, suggesting the stock could be undervalued. An example below is American Electric Power Company, Inc.: the current yield is 3.99% while its five-year average is 3.27%. This simple idea suggests a company's yield should revert to the mean over time. I use dividend yield theory to determine if a stock is potentially undervalued or overvalued and consequently worthy of further research. Lastly, a company must be able to maintain a growing dividend for me to consider investing in it, so a trailing twelve-month payout ratio of less than 100% is used as the final filter. In addition to the 3% yield, a 10-year dividend growth rate of at least 5% is the next filter used in hopes to at least keep up with, if not outpace, inflation. While there could be some debate as to what qualifies a company as "high yield," 3% is sufficient for me. Next, the current annual dividend yield of the companies on this watchlist is at least 3%. Each of the companies on my watchlist is a large-cap stock, which equates to a market cap of at least $10 billion. ![]() The companies listed on this watchlist are stable, with a track record of paying and raising their dividends consistently.
