Gardener topped my 20ft skyrocket juniper
Hi there, My gardener thought he was doing me a favor by "trimming" really topping my 20-25ft Juniper skyrocket trees(3). I was curious to find out if my Skyrocket juniper tree will come back from being topped? Or what will happen to them now that they are about 10 feet tall?
Go top one of his trees and see what he thinks. After all turnabout is fair play! ;-)
Now your Skyrocket's will continually need to be maintained at their 10' current height or you will need to remove them and start again. Plus now they are opened up for the entrance and spread of disease. Not a good story, I wish I had a better one for you.
"Require him to replace them with 3 new ones the same size as yours were before, at his own expense."
Good luck...In this day and age nobody is held accountable for their misdeeds. Anybody stupid enough to top a Skyrocket has both shoes on the wrong feet. This guy calls himself a Gardner??? Three guesses where he came from... Better replace him with a real Gardner.
To be specific, if you let them gain height again it will be by growing secondary leaders but those will never be as strong or reliable as the original. Their shape will also likely be affected.
Seems to me there is a question of survival for the relationship as well as for the trees. Taking 10 feet off a 20' tree is not a case of a well-intentioned snip gone sideways. How did he come to think this might constitute a "favour?" Perhaps it is time to assess just how you provide instructions, or clarify the parameters of the job. If it's "general maintenance" then there is a lot left for interpretation, especially if the trees are in hedge-like format, and you can't entirely blame him. If you don't fire (which I'm not advocating, as I believe in people's capacity to learn, and it is right before Christmas!), it seems time to lay out the assigned tasks more clearly.
To help keep a cool head, keep in mind that these plants are neither rare nor that expensive...
Hey Karin, Just imagine the guy was trying to do himself a favour by acquiring a few cheap Xmas trees .Or worse,imagine him selling the tops on a street corner to make a few $$$...Now THAT would be a reason to get peaced off,even at Xmas time! T.
Many people working in landscape maintenance operations have little, if any horticultural training.
Well to say the least the guy has been let go. I am not expecting to receive any compensation, so I will just have to move on. Thanks for all the advice.
Now on my new problem, how deep is the root system on these types of trees? Will it be difficult to remove? It has only been a day but I have a feeling seeing the topped trees will bug me everytime I pull up to my house, so easiest way is to remove them and replace them with either the same thing or something similar. Any suggestions?
I agree the best thing is to remove the plants and start over. I have used Reciprocal Saws in the past to do this. Use the longest blade possible and go slowly around the plant. If need be you can dig down about 10" with a spade and then start the saw action holding the saw at an angle so that the tip of the blade will eventually reach the middle of the root ball. Once completely around you should be able to remove the plant with ease. The saw is a very fast way of digging. Works real well with hostas. You are able to cut through hostas leaving 1/4 to 1/2 of the plant in the ground and still in tacked.
Hi. I have used a heavy-duty trolley-jack to remove tree stumps.Dig a sloping hole at the base of the tree as far under the stem as is possible.Put a sturdy plank in the hole and slide the trolley-jack underneath the stump.Jack up and 'Bob's your uncle'.Usually the stump comes out with most of the roots still attached.Most important,especially if you're in an area where Bootlace fungus (Armillaria something) is lurking. T.
need to know the width to space two of them - thinking of 18-20 inches on my front corner cause i see 2-3 ft wide? up to 6 feet? but nothing on how far from foundation is it invasive? one site said ok near close to foundation but how close is close? another showed to transplant remove 3 feet of root - i have an elevated bed with a dwarf alberta spruce i want to move out back about 2-3 ft off corner then i have a coral bark japanese maple at 6-7 or so - please help if u can much appreciated - Corey in NY - whats the closest i can get it and how far are the roots out?
hey cpalm...
i am glad you used the search function.. but you should have started your post.. mostly so this reply would come to your mailbox ... instead to a 4 year old post... i often wonder if the poster ever comes back and reads the reply ...
your babes should be 3 to 5 feet from your foundation ... if not 5 to 8 .... if you wish to enjoy them for a few decades .. technically.. you should plant so they NEVER touch the house .. AND.. you can walk behind them.. to maintain the house ...... size estimates are at 10 years.. at 20 .. they will be TWICE AS BIG ... 30 years... 3 times
DAS can be had small for 5 bucks.. i dont know why you would invest substantial time and effort in moving an old large one ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Inn at Pasatiempo Santa Cruz
Horrible motel
This is a dirty roadside motel. Our sheets and blankets were filthy, there was trash in the room and the hotel's restaurant was owned by two of the rudest men on earth. They were so rude and the food so bad we had to drive to a fast food place just to get something.
We also attended a wedding which unfortunatly was catered by the Peachwood's restaurant mentioned above. The food was inedible and once again the charming duo from the restaurant were there serving and we just ended up leaving early because it was so awful.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here if you have a choice. The room was $165 and really should have been around $30 for what it is.
Overpriced Motel 6!
We checked into this $175 golf reort "motel" to find a disgusting room not even worthy of a $19.99 special. The room was musty. The bedsheets were stained and dirty. The paint was peeling off the walls. The bathroom was stained. The windows and screens were broken and rusty. And when we [had the nerve?] to complan we were treated very nasty by the front desk.
If you want to play golf at Pasatiempo stay at the Hampton Inn down the street. You'll e glad you did!
Three strikes! You're out!!!
Even though our stay last summer included the resident spider and a loud party next door ("local rate" they offer no doubt encourages use by locals for a cheap party venue) we opted to try it again this winter. This time we encountered a stuck bathroom door which almost trapped my wife for the nite. After the cheerful nite manager moved us, the new bathroom had a shower head which leaked/sprayed water directly on the electric hair drier mounted closeby. This was fixed by the cheerful maintenance man. We stole the remote from the first room to make up for the fact that the new room lacked one. Admittedly, we arrived somewhat late, but according to the schedule, the restaurant was still serving. I had to get a little firm with the bar manager to get her to find a waitress. After shuffling rooms (both ours and that of a friend who was to have an adjoining accommodation) we had an OK week's stay (except for the all night party Saturday) and I slept fairly well despite the mattress which had a very pronounced sag.
All of the above would not have been enough to make me write this review. It was the checkout experience the morning of 3/10/05 which left me in shock. Our friend and I were each paying for our own rooms so we went together to check out. I was explaining which rooms we had because there had been so much room switching on check-in. The room clerk literally jumped down my throat, told me that she was not some stupid retard, and in general took a very bad attitude. She mocked the hand gestures I had made and behaved in a very aggressive fashon. It made me very angry and I told her why I felt it was necessary to explain the room situation to her. She threatened to have me removed from the property by the police and I just left the room keys and went. Our friend, who was a witness to all of this was in shock. She couldn't understand the woman's attitude and told her that she had better improve her people skills or she would risk loosing more business than just ours. I've been put in my place before, and can tell when I deserve it. This time I didn't. We will not be back.
. It is a home away from home.
We are glad we found the Inn. It was a home away from home. The staff there was great. We will come back to the Inn if ever in the area. We would much rather stay at the Inn than a fancy over priced place that does not always make you feel welcomed.We loved our stay.
Not A Place To Stay
The room was badly in need of updating. The furniture was old. The carpet was stained. The shower fixtures were chipped and cracked. There was no air-conditioning and the room was hot. The sprinkler system - which was extraordinarily loud - came on at 4:00AM and woke me up. The front desk staff was cordial, but restricted by old computer equipment, and an even older telephone system.
Spiders in the bed, hot room, no working A.C., windows not secure enough to leave open at night, dimly lit, year-old beer at the bar (born-on date proved me right)...peachwoods (hotel restaurant) was good but overpriced...wouldn't stay there again unless major improvements made...e-mailed the hotel and haven't heard back from them...
Away from it all but close to everything
my husband and i stayed at the inn at pasatiempo in september 2003 and we thougth it was great the hotel isn't in the hussle and bussle of santa cruz there situated off of hwy 17 nestled in the woods, there only about 3 minutes tops of freeway driving to santa cruz. The rooms were very country and had a homey feel, the staff was wonderful to. the whole experience was great.
This weekend in Santa Cruz
Some cont. breakfast: 4-oz. can of juice, and doughnuts. The only other occupide room on my side of the whole building was exactly next door. I believe their TV was facing my bed, through the wall! Nice people at check-in, but what was it the 2nd night with the piano 2 doors down on my 2nd night? Quiet? Well, could have been worse...but could've been better, too. I'd like some modern soundproofing, and better amenities.
I've had worse places, ergo I'll go back there. But they could try a bit harder. If staying there, eat in S. Cruz at O'Mei or at the Pearl East restaruants for dinner.
Very disappointed in Pasatiempo
Stayed there for a wedding. Grounds needed help as well as the shabby rooms. It appeared it had not been updated since the early 70's. Rooms were clean, but carpet and upholstry faded and stained. Thought room rates too high for the condition of the Inn as a whole.
It was ok
The Inn was nice and quite but it was very hot with no air conditioner, had a ceiling fan, a very quite it one, that was just perfect for the kind of weather in the room. Continental breakfast too early, at 7:00am, end it too soon, by 9:00am, they just had can orange juice. Well we had an ok time, the people working there were nice. Thank you.

After we were sunned out we strolled down the boardwalk again and Dan had seen a 'Dipping Dots' stand and had to get some. Basically dipping dots is ice cream in, well, the size of dots! He had it 18yrs ago when he was in America so had to have it again.

I stopped at the Chateau St. Jean winery, mainly because there was a really pretty mansion on the brochure I found in the hotel. ...
The Gifts of My Chosen Family
... immense kindness of a stranger giving me her home, the happiness and beauty of a bride, laughing in the silliness of a video game amusement park in SF, and the affection of old friends being themselves.
These faces that have changed through the decade with wrinkles forming, gray hairs emerging, and a history of a queer family falling in love with one another. Overwhelmed with how lucky I am to continue on this journey with the laughs, smiles, tears, and words sketched within.

We have the same problem, it starts some times, but once we had to tow to the mechanic and then next morning it started fine for him, we had the 4th gear component in the engine, which got stuck, fixed, which is a great relief, but when I got the car home and it was running just fine, the next morning it wouldn't start. this is an intermittent problem and only happened once for the mechanic and they thought they identified a loose wire which they secured and it started fine afterwords.
Still looking in to if it is ignition switch.

Media is made whipping boy by all sections while the other pillars of democracy -- Legislature, Judiciary and Executive – got away enjoying all privileges, observed the Editor of Andhra Bhoomi Telugu daily newspaper M.V.R. Sastry here on Monday.
Addressing a 'Meet-the-Editor' programme organised by Vizag Journalists' Forum's Press Club, he pointed out that the judiciary could take action under contempt of court and the legislature through privilege motion could jail a journalist.
"But we don't have even Constitutional rights and we are covered only by the right to freedom of speech. While we will be fired -- newspapers also get closed and TV channels shut down -- the members of the legislature continue to enjoy a full term of five years without any recall," he noted.
Mr. Sastry, a firebrand editor, explained that never did any ruling party win 50 per cent of the votes polled which again did not reflect the entire population of the country, but still managed to rule reducing democracy to misnomer.
There was talk even of a former Chief Justice of India -- of the apex court -- involved in scams. But, everyone was quick to blame the media for everything making it the whipping boy, he lamented.
Replying to questions, he said journalists could function holding the head high and do their bit for public cause.
It is the latter that should react in time and make everyone accountable, he felt. "We are watchdogs of democracy and therefore bark. It is up to the people, our masters, to respond. For, it is they who can make and unmake things in a democracy," he stated.
VJF president M. Yugandhar Reddy and secretary Gantla Sreenu Babu spoke.

I have been taking my cats to Bayshore for 9 years. I have probably seen every doctor and tech, and have found the staff always to be caring. Yesterday I took my almost 17 yr old girl, "Sis" in because she is close the "needing the shot", but I just can't bring myself to do it (never had a problem with any other pet). Dr. dePunzio was so supportive, telling me Sis might have a few more weeks and that she is not suffering, so Sis and I went home to fight again another day. I am so grateful for any extra moments with her and thank Dr. dePunzio and staff for that.

You've got to feel for poor old Bahrain. It can't get in the press for any of the right reasons lately. Not only is there the ongoing political strife, but this week there have been two separate stories of prominent Bahrainis lamenting the moral state of the tiny nation.
First, Mohammed Al Mizal, standing for election with Al Wefaq, proclaimed that his people are ashamed at the fact that alcohol can be bought openly in the country. Calling the practice un-Islamic, Al Mizal said: "Many Bahrainis are ashamed that their country is serving alcohol. This is not something that we are proud of and we hope that it will come to an end in the coming parliament sessions."
According to Al Mizal, the ban on alcohol in dry countries such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia does not have any negative effects and both countries are still able to maintain a stable and strong economy.
"If this is about copying the Western style of living, why don't just we sell drugs to everyone?" he said. "There are countries which allow citizens to use certain kinds of drugs, or even allow homosexuals to get married. This is also legal now in some places."
Then, Manama Municipal Council member Abdulmajeed Al Sebea'a angrily accused the police and tourism officials of turning a blind eye to prostitution. Al Sebea'a said that over the Eid weekend, "gangs of prostitutes in skimpy clothes stood plying their trade."
"The biggest disaster is that GCC families were feeling uncomfortable walking in and out of hotels and furnished apartments and even on the streets," he said.
And all this on top of recent news that Bahrain has the fattest women in the world
Al Mizal is right, stricter laws haven't held Saudi back, but then they have a much bigger domestic market to offer potential investors. Even Kuwait's population is several times that of Bahrain. Maybe Bahrain has to turn a blind eye to these things if it wants to attract foreign investment. Maybe it will end up like Dubai, turning a blind eye to most indiscretions in return for a growing economy and status. Although judging from Al Mazil and Al Sebea'a, that won't happen without a fight.
Do you feel sorry for the people of Bahrain? Or is this the price they pay for developing the economy and attracting foreign investment? And if so, is it a price worth paying?

People who enjoy prostitutes will continue to have the enjoyment regardless of the availability widely or secretly. Even in Saudi there are more cases than any other for the illegal alcohol selling. I heard some certain nationalities are expert over there to make booze at home. Govt. close their eyes or not, these things will happen as long as the givers and takers are there!
You are absolutely right. Home made alcohol is freely available in bottles as cheap as SR 50 to SR 60. They are called Siddique.
Coming to Bahrain, alcohol is being sold in MMI's and A&E's openly for decades. It's a late wake-up (!) call from Mr Al Mizal. So feeling ashamed all of a sudden doesnt make any sense. Before comparing the situation with KSA or Kuwait, Mr Mizal has to very well understand that they have the black gold which runs the party. In Bahrain, people are running parties (mujhras and likes) to make money out of it!!
Prostitutes, less said the better. Be it Bahrain or Dubai, they are in plenty. In these places, it is not possible for a common man / expatriate to sponsor or bring women who are not immediate blood relatives. How do they come inside and stay for months/ years? Its a known secret that the ruling elite are allowing these things knowingly and prostitutes have become a part of the economy itself.

I am looking for .................................
enjoyingspringApril 4, 2010
I am looking for a crochet childrens moccasin slipper with a knitted cuff. I have seached the internet but can't quite find what I am looking for. The main part of the slipper is crochet but the turn down cuff is knitted. Any help would be appreciated.
Mom always chained the length of the foot plus a couple, sc in both loops so it's a smooth stitch, not ridged, until it went around the foot. Stitch up the back of the heel, st the top of the foot from where the front of the ankle would be to the toe, and gather the toe shut. You could do that, then pick up stitches around the ankle and knit the cuff.
Sorry, no real pattern.

Little Snowman with Birdhouse Box
A little box I painted for a friend. I put Christmas eggnog taffys in it. I forgot to take a pic of the back but it has a snowman cutout backed by rusty metal. Looks pretty cool. Hope you like it. I think this is a Renee Mullins design, but I don't know what stack my book got stuck into at the moment. ha ~Anj
Anj, such a cute project! Bet your friend loved it. I so need to stay on top of your projects and miss all of you.
Remember when....hmmmmm
Don't want to shock you but I actually painted several things the last two days. I think it has been at least a year since I've had the desire
to pick up a brush. DD ask if I would paint something for one of our employees for her birthday in Feb. and that's all it took to get me going again.
I can honestly say I loved painting again.

The Golden Belt Community Foundation invites proposals for its upcoming competitive grant cycle. Applications now are being accepted from qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and public institutions, including schools, government entities, and clubs and civic/community organizations in Barton, Pawnee, Rush, and Stafford counties.

You may have noticed farmers in their fields applying anhydrous ammonia and other fertilizers or herbicides getting ready to plant wheat. Economists speak of inputs as land, labor, capital, and management. Farmers and ranchers are all too aware of and concerned about the increasing cost of the inputs necessary to produce food, fiber, and fuel. They are even more aware of the consequences of not obtaining the proper inputs and input combinations in agricultural production. One of those isn't often thought of when considering the resources necessary for production in agriculture but in many ways it matters most – management ...
Last year nearly 12 million Americans fell victim to identity thieves. The bad credit ratings that those victims were left with could potentially harm them for years to come. Identity theft can be costly and may be a nightmare to contend with. Consumers are not, however, powerless in their efforts to thwart scammers out to swipe their identities. There is a simple, effective way to decrease the odds that you will be among those who are hit by these scammers: shredding sensitive documents before discarding them.

Clutter/Cogl Running On Wayland Master
Published on 16 December 2011 08:21 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
27 Comments
The Clutter tool-kit and Cogl (Clutter's OpenGL component) have been updated to work against the latest Wayland Display Server code-base.
Various Intel developers have been working on Wayland and now Clutter/Cogl will work against the current Wayland Git master state.
Rob Bradford says
in a blog post
, "The Clutter client side support is basically complete so i've now moved onto working on GTK and MX – watch this space for updates!"
Below is a video demo of Clutter working successfully under Wayland.
Qt 4.8 was just released
with its platform abstraction support that should allow good Wayland support in Qt 5.0. Enlightenment developers have
also been working on Wayland support
. 2012 should be interesting for the Wayland project.

Daihatsu Copen convertible to reach Oz roads this year
By Mike Hanlon
Daihatsu has announced that the sleek Copen convertible will be available in Australia in Spring 2003.
Originally introduced to the world as a concept car at the 1999 Tokyo International Motor Show and seen last year in Melbourne as a concept car, the confirmation of Copen's arrival in Australia as a road-going concern was announced by Wayne Gabriel, Manager Daihatsu, at the opening of the 2003 Melbourne Motor Show.
Last year Copen went into production for the local Japanese market where more than 5000 orders were taken in the first month. Only 1200 will be made available each year for worldwide export.
The distinctive teardrop styling merges sports dynamics with small car intimacy. The Copen's low profile and sleek symmetrical shape built into such compact package give it a futuristic, chic, boldness whether electrically operated metal roof is up or down.
Copen's compact 660cc four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve turbo engine tuned to produce linear torque in direct response to the accelerator produces a handy 47kW@6000rpm with 110Nm of torque @3200rpm. A total weight of just 830kg made possible by aluminium roof, boot and panels helps make its power to weight combination a spritely proposition. The turbocharger, designed exclusively for Copen, uses a new seal design, which raises efficiency. Emissions are below LEV (low emission vehicle) limits which means Copen also points the way environmentally. The drive is by a five-speed transmission.
Power Steering, 15" alloy wheels, central locking, power windows, CD player, dual airbags, ventilated front disc brakes, electric aluminium hardtop, sports seats, electric mirrors and engine immobiliser will be standard equipment.
The Copen is expected to wear price tag of around the low $30's.Share

Love them
These table and stools are perfect for what we wanted. At our church, we have a coffee corner and put these in there. Low cost, great look and not bad quality for the money! They look better and are more sturdy than the picture portrays!Read More
Not for daily use
Bought this set simply to put in my kitchen for staging purposes while the house was for sale. Very lightweight set. Looked good in the pictures, but very uncomfortable to sit on for any extended period of time. Might be good in a game room or college apartment.Read More
Positive Review
I love it. It was easy to assemble and it arrived quicker that I thoughtRead More
Great pub table
We entertain frequently and have three of these table sets. The tables assemble quickly and are very sturdy. They look perfect just as they are for work well covering in table cloths for a fancier party.Read More
Don't buy this!
I have owned this set for approximately one month. It did not go together well. The screws didn't seem to fit in correctly. I got it together as best I could. Only one month later, the table is broken beyond repair from someone leaning on it. DO NOT BUY THIS!!Read More
GREAT SET! so far so good
it looks awesome. if you are 5'6' it comes up just about above your belly button. it looks great. great price. there were a few scratches. it arrived earlier than expected. its not too heavy. assembly wasnt too bad, you can do it by yourself it took me like less than 30mins. its a perfect size for little corners.Read More
Nice Bar Table Set
I use this table set everyday just because I like to sit high and rest my feet on the metal ring of the chair/table. Assembly took a while - I did it myself, but would be helpful to have an extra pair of hands to hold the chair/table legs in place while putting the screws in. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Fair quality for the price (the cheapest bar table set I can find...)Read More
looks great
Ordered for my home office. Wanted to order a stand up desk to use my laptop on, but they were too expensive. So, I found this and it's the correct height, right at 42" for table. Couldn't be happier with product and the price.Read More
get good quality for price
the product is nice. you get what you pay for. Not the best quality but very nice for the price.Read More

The nature of our business is simple; the more people we successfully help to improve their retirement income plan the better our business. Through this work we have come to intimately understand that nearly everyone has very similar concerns over their asset protection strategies, is seeking different types of investments, and wants help navigating how to implement a solution that will improve their long term outlook. We understand and implement such solutions everyday but there is always one significant obstacle, alternatives are different.Read More
One of the things that we try hard to do is help our readers and those that come to our seminars think differently. Most have a schema in their mind about what personal wealth management should look like, and rarely even seek to validate that perspective or challenge it. We see it differently, and want to face down the status quo. Not because the status quo is bad, but because looking beyond the status quo is so much better.Read More
Tags: new perspective
This post summaries our 6 part series covering the four most common concerns over asset protection, why they exist, their impact on retirement income planning, and how to address them. Ultimately the objective of our content is to educate and to offer a different perspective over long term financal planning. Financial decision making today is under served due to a lack of objectivity and the difficulty for the average person to simply get their questions answered without enduring a sales pitch. While we are never shy about selling our solutions we work diligently to ensure that the perspective we share doesn't sell but rather helps answer our clients' and prospective clients' questions. Our goal is to help people shift their focus from maximizing returns and instead work to eliminate loss.Read More

Nearly every client and prospective client that we have worked with has one of four concerns over their asset protection strategies, the solutions to address these concerns are surprisingly simple. Personal wealth management should not be an intimidating exercise, nor should it create unreasonable levels of anxiety. While there are complexities that can arise when developing long term savings strategies , the foundation of any approach to address concerns over how to develop and use them should ultimately be grounded in simplicity.Read More

Because most Americans are sold on prioritizing accumulation for the long run above any other approach they are placing themselves on a path that will lead to a frugal retirement. The reason for this lies in the nature of wealth management today and more specifically a personal finance industry that places importance not on asset protection strategies but on maximizing returns associated with accepting high levels of risk. An accumulation only focus, however, restricts retirement income options for those who employ such a strategy, and ultimately leads many to a forced frugal retirement.Read More
This is part 3 in a series covering the explanation of why most Americans share the same concerns over their personal wealth management. Part one covered the history of the 401k and the fact that it was never intended to be the sole source of an individual's retirement income. Part two covered the typical focus of the personal finance industry on accumulation. Also be sure to read the post on the four most common concerns of asset protection strategies.
The accumulation focus of today's personal finance industry minimizes the opportunity for most consumers to properly factor the impact of income taxes during retirement. Most know at least one person in their lives who are currently in retirement and are now paying a tax bill that has been assured by their participation in qualified (tax deferred) plans. Across the board there is a single sentiment about this situation, dislike.Read More
This is part 2 in a series covering the explanation of why most Americans share the same concerns over their personal wealth management. Part one covered the history of the 401k and the fact that it was never intended to be the sole source of an individual's retirement income. Read the post on the four most common concerns of asset protection strategies.
Since 1980 personal wealth management by accumulation has increased. The 401k has been massively successful, but more for the financial services industry than the average investor concerned over their personal wealth management. By exploiting tax code to make it easy for employees to capitalize on their employers' deferred income incentive the financial services industry has grown from just 4.9% of GDP in 1980 to over 8% of GDP in 2011. This number continues to climb every year, and examining the source of this increasingly large portion of the United States economy we find that the largest growth has been associated with fees accumulated in exchange for these servicesRead More
The news that the NFL fined San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick $10,000 for wearing Beats by Dre headphones in violation of an NFL contract with Beats competitor Bose, is a curious analogy of the ridiculousness that wealth advisors engage in on a nearly daily basis. The NFL, Bose, and Beats by Dre (which is now owned by Apple) are not exactly small businesses. Each multi-billion dollar entity has the cash flow, strength and influence to make significant impacts on not only consumer preferences but also culture itself. So it is amusing when such large entities run into situations that transcend their influence.Read More
Last week we wrote a post that covered the most common concerns over asset protection strategies. Today we start a three part series on the reasons why most personal wealth management concerns are seemingly so similar. First I want to encourage you to read the post linked above, but in the interest of convenience here is a quick summary. Those that we educate at our seminars almost always have one of the following concerns over protecting their hard earned accumulated assets:Read More

Author has written 54 stories for Rat Patrol, and Hogan's Heroes.
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
About me
I grew up in the sixties and my dad was a WWII vet, so it's maybe no surprise that I love sixties WWII shows.
I love to read, and I deeply appreciate well-written stories that are heart-warming and have a sense of humor. I like historical references, and I am intrigued when fictional stories are tied to historical events, but I also enjoy reading stories that venture out into "what if" situations, as long as those situations have a degree of plausibility.
I don't like torture scenes at all, especially if they are gratuitous and don't advance the story line.
As a rule, I enjoy stories that stay close to the spirit and the character of the source material. Stray too far from that, and you've lost me.
As for me, I try to write the kind of stories that I like to read. If others enjoy them too, that's the icing on the cake!
Papa Bear Awards 2011 update:
I'm so proud to be the recipient of the Gold Award for most unique story for "The Unsung Hero", and a co-recipient of the Silver Award for best portrayal of a canon character for Hochstetter in "The Unsung Hero". I dedicate these awards to the late great Howard Caine, whose delightfully demented performance of Major Wolfgang Hochstetter was the inspiration for the Unsung Hero.
Papa Bear Awards 2012 update:
I'm just overwhelmed and honored that my stories have been chosen for awards this year. A special thank you goes to dust on the wind, who suggested the idea for "Return of the Informer".
Papa Bear Awards 2013 update:
Again I have been honored to have my stories chosen for awards this year. I am in such great company, too, with all the talented authors on this site. This is such a wonderful community!
Papa Bear Awards 2014 update:
I'm tickled pink to receive the Gold awards for Best Story Based on an Episode and Best Short General Story. Nice work by everyone this year!
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my stories! I hope you have enjoyed them.
