The cost is worth it for a business that otherwise would have to retrofit its power systems.Supply shortages are an inherent part of the electrical business, Vaughn says."It's directed by the manufacturers themselves," he says. "They put out a product line and sell it with a planned obsolescence program behind it."_____Follow Joyce Rosenberg at www.twitter.com/JoyceMRosenberg .

MORRIS: Taking time to smell the roses - Evening News and Tribune

NEW ALBANY — Lana Aebersold got a taste of retirement last month, even though it wasn't planned.In bed with the flu, she was unable to work at her usual spot inside Aebersold Florist leading up to Valentine's Day for the first time in more than five decades. The busiest two or three days in a floral designer's year, and she was at home, trying to get back on her feet."I was miserable," she said. "I would have rather been here. I was just too sick to worry about it."But in 11 days, she will be taking a permanent break from the business. At 71, and with more things to accomplish, Lana is retiring. Although she will still help out if needed since she lives within an earshot of the business.Lana has worked at Aebersold Florist for 55 of the 110 years the business has been open. She met David Aebersold when she was 16, the two started dating, and she asked his mother for a job."She said if you break up you can't leave," Lana said.The two married four years later and she has never strayed too fa... http://www.newsandtribune.com/opinion/morris-taking-time-to-smell-the-roses/article_eda3c98e-1fe9-11e8-90bc-bf7ffe7847ca.html

Gardening: Flower shows offer spring in deep winter - The Providence Journal

Rooted in Maine.” There will be 14 display gardens, 115 exhibits of plants, hardscape, arbor and garden supplies, and many workshops and seminars.A show I only recently heard about is near Albany in Troy, New York. In its 31st year, it is called the Capital District Garden and Flower Show and will be held March 23 to 25 at Hudson Valley Community College. I hope to go. From their photos and write-up, I imagine it will be similar in size and scope to the Vermont Flower Show — which is now an every-other year show, and is not occurring this year.Bangor, Maine, has an annual flower show, though I’ve never attended. This year it will be held in the Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine, on April 20 to 22. If you go, please contact me so I’ll learn more about it.Last year I crossed one more item off my “Bucket List”. My partner Cindy Heath and I flew to London and attended the Chelsea Flower Show. It is in a league by itself, both in size and scope. Mostly outdoors, it includes displays with full-sized trees planted for the week. Under a big tent are displays of flowers of every ilk: hellebores, alliums, iris, narcissus, tulips, vegetables, carnivorous plants and much, much more. To see my article about the show and see a dozen photos, go to dailyuv.com/feed/905682.The Chelsea Show is held this year May 22 to 26. If you plan to go, join the Royal Horticulture Society to get reduced prices and access before the rest of the world (the first two days are just for RHS members). One member can bring in three guests. The Brits love their flowers, and know how to celebrate them. Bring a flowered dress or vest and bowtie, and walk around drinking champagne if you wish — many people do.I called my friend Jill Nooney of Bedrock Gardens in Lee, New Hampshire, to talk about the flower shows. Jill has exhibited at the Boston Show seven times, winning many awards for her garden designs. I asked her, why go to the flower shows? “Nobody can resist the smell of humid mulch-filled air in the middle of March,” she said. I agree. We all need that taste of spring before all the snow has gone.— Henry Homeyer’s blog appears twice a week at dailyuv.com/gardeningguy. Write to him at P.O. Box 364, Cornish Flat, NH 03746.

Red-tail Land Conservancy's Wildflower Celebration - Kokomo Perspective

Dutchman’s breeches, spring beauties, mayapples, bloodroot, trillium, and wild ginger, the names are as interesting as the plants themselves.    In the early 1900’s, most of Indiana’s forests had been cut down. Trees were used to build homes, provide heat, and as a source of income. The rich wetlands were drained and the soil was farmed. Cows and hogs grazed or trash was dumped in the remaining forested acres. Many local woods are still filled with rolls of farm fencing or trash.    In the last 125 years, the landscape in Indiana has changed. The number of acres of forest has grown dramatically. High-quality woodlands are not created overnight. They are the product of many, many, many, decades of growth, care, and protection. Forests provide critical habitat for endangered wildlife including birds, bats, and salamanders.    They provide vital habitat for humans also. Forests clean air by absorbing carbon and producing oxygen. They store and filter rainwater. They help to regulate temperature by cooling in the summer and providing windbreaks in winter. Woodlands can provide homes, jobs, and recreation. This time of year it is their beauty that I appreciate most.    Join me for Red-tail Land Conservancy’s Wildflower Celebration this Sunday, April 30. Wildflower tours will be given throughout Phyllis and Frank Yuhas Woods, an exceptionally preserved woodland,  from 2-5 PM. Red-tail members will receive a free wildflower tote bag, thanks to our sponsor, Old National Wealth Management. The event is the only time the preserve is open to the public.    At 2 PM Woody Statler from Jack’s Camera Shop will teach a wildflower photography session. Submit your favorite springtime photo for the photography contest. Jack’s Camera Shop will enlarge and print the winning photograph. Gordy’s Fine Art and Framing will frame the winning photograph.    Yuhas Woods is located at 5970 W 400 S, Farmland, IN 47340. Additional information can be found at http://www.fortheland.org/event/spring-wildflower-celebration/.    Julie Borgmann is the executive director for Red-tail Land Conservancy. Her passion is connecting people to nature for conservation and well-being. http://kokomoperspective.com/politics/indiana/red-tail-land-conservancy-s-wildflower-celebration/article_aabc8fa1-a302-5a2f-a494-6aa2ecbbdce1.html

Alicia Vikander wanted to become a florist - Cleveland American

I said that I wanted to be an actress. I actually had no clue I wanted to do that."The Swedish actress was a huge fan of adventure movies, such as 'The Mummy' and the 'Indiana Jones' franchise, during her younger years.And Alicia, 29 - who is married to fellow Hollywood star Michael Fassbender - has admitted that Bruce Willis was her "first crush".Quizzed about her obsession with movies from the 1980s and 1990s, Alicia told CNET.com: "Bruce Willis was my first crush. I was like 11 [laughs]. I love that kind of film."And adventure films - 'Indiana Jones'. I was a big fan of 'The Mummy' series in my early teens as well."Consequently, Alicia jumped at the chance to star as English archaeologist Lara Croft in the new 'Tomb Raider' movie, having played the popular video games as a child.She said: "When they asked me to be part of an adventure like this, it was just a thrill. Like I said, I [was attracted] to those kinds of computer games when I was a kid."... http://www.theclevelandamerican.com/lifestyles/entertainment/alicia-vikander-wanted-to-become-a-florist/article_2303a68f-6cbb-5cb1-bec9-25d51a379264.html
