Protection from winter
In spite of a prolonged and beautiful autumn winter beckons and some panickers have applied the white protection gear well in advance. It seems such an inexact science when hardy shrubs are gift wrapped and small trees still in leaf are wound up in hessian. Would it be simpler if we just planted stuff that can cope with the conditions of where we live?
what fun would it be if you didn't take chances in life ?
then again, I live in zonal denial and plant tropicals in barely a subtropical climate. ...
..... and I'm already wrapping up my noggin on our chilly winter nights with none other than the sock monkey hat.
From Profile Photos
warm as toast.
Cute hat!
I agree that wrapped shrubs, especially hardy evergreens (!), look silly wrapped for winter. It's still a bit early for that here so I haven't seen many wrapped ones yet.
We do put the white plastic spiral tree-protectors on the young trees to deter the rabbits. DH put those on a couple of weeks ago just because it's easy to do before the rest of fall garden chores - and we were already seeing more rabbits than usual... I'm sure that, at this point, there is still enough green things for them to eat so they aren't likely to be chewing on bark at this time of year - but DH prefers to play it safe (and was afraid he'd forget to do it if he left it too late!)
I suppose that pushing the garden zone is a lot like managing your investment portfolio - it depends a lot on how much disposable income and tolerance for risk you have. It really comes down to personal style...
People who are practical will only grow native or proven plants. Gamblers will attempt something two zones above their own, betting that this will be the year that winter doesn't get cold. And the unadventurous will wear a belt and suspenders at the same time while wrapping their hardy bushes with burlap.
Sock monkeys rule!
It doesn't seem quite so impossible when the danger zone temperatures only come once every ten to twenty years, and seldom last more than a few hours or at most, a few nights. In my garden, the most anxious period comes between Christmas and New Years Eve. I don't typically have to do anymore than throw a sheet over a few things, or move potted plants out of the winter rains,as opposed to building structure tires, wrapping shrubs or stringing Christmas lights. It wouldn't be the same if I had to look at such measures all winter long. Mostly I just live in denial, and bet that it won't get below 27f, and it usually never gets below 29f. One of the benefits of living within a half mile of the bay, truly cold weather seldom arrives.
It's not solely for winter. I do see the random rose cones in my travels - much simpler than tipping all those prized hybrid teas... for those who are wont to do such things.
I put a tree protector on a really nice self seeded maple sapling - just happened to appear in a gap on the property line where something was needed. Grew like gang busters this season and finally showed it's fall color - crayola red. The rabbits can have the spirea; saves me from doing a hard pruning in the spring and they seem to come back all the better for it.
I will burlap some arborvitae and my yew hedge. Not against the cold but to spare them the heavy deer browse we get when things turn snowy and frigid and their usual food source is scarce.
For everything else I rely on a good insulating snow cover. It's the best protection against sustained periods of 30 below days and windchills to minus 50.
No doubt it would be simpler, but it would leave me feeling like I didn't have the full range of colors to paint with. In our local conditions, it isn't so much a case of winter hardiness, because in fact a Mediterranean climate zone's growing season actually starts in November and may finish up with summer dormancy as early as June. Limits to plant selection are more linked to a plant's ability to survive up to six months with no rain. If one were to strictly observe nature around here, one wouldn't try to keep plants growing and flowering in midsummer through early fall, and live with dried out foliage during our warmest weather. Instead, most California gardeners choose to select interesting plants from around the world that will look good year round without running up the summer water bill. We're fortunate that so many staples of Mediterranean climate gardens, even though they come from subtropical summer rainfall climates, perform well with limited summer irrigation. Bougainvillea, bird of Paradise and Jacarandas are a few that come to mind, as well as the wealth of succulents from summer rainfall parts of Mexico and South Africa.
A garden is an artificial construct in the first place, even if it only uses the immediately adjacent Flora. As a creative endeavor and a connection to the natural world, who is to say that one approach is more legitimate than another? On the other hand, I couldn't begin to contemplate willingly choosing to garden with tender plants that would all need protection/being dug up and stored for the winter/or moved into a greenhouse. I've seen a few such gardens in England and the USA's Midwest, but wouldn't care to work that hard to fight the environment. Thankfully I garden and design gardens for a 365 day growing season, if one is willing to apply some additional water in summer. Knowing that such irrigation comes with a price to wild environment, it pays to use water sparingly and wisely.
Here, I'm not seeing so much winter protection as early spring protection from sun - examples of plants being rhododendrons and exotic conifers. My mom wraps her rhodies and the sight is not pretty - it's precisely the time of year when there's not much to see other than evergreens. If one must grow rhodies, I wish there was a more aesthetically pleasing wrapper option!
In my own garden, I've been limiting my choices, mostly planting evergreens that stay close to the ground: these are easy to cover with snow, spruce branches, or fallen leaves.
Behold The Figloo.
If you're going to wrap your frost tender plants for the winter why not make the wrapping attractive as they do in some gardens of Japan. From October 31, 2011
Totally agree Michelle. When you consider that here the seasons are almost 50/50 and you will be looking at horrible scenes like terrene shows for almost as long as the unwrapped version aesthetics demands something better. Although I have to say that after your first picture I thought these were your arms and legs (tee hee).
I'm with Kim on this one, and if the money weren't so tight I'd have made that trip to Palm Springs along with the Southern California Palm Society in a hot minute! The first photos of the two gardens on the tour look amazing, and I'd love to be able to mingle amongst such dramatic palms as the silver Bismarckia nobilis and Brahea armata's. For anyone else wanting a photo fix of desert sun and palms, check out the WWW.ips.org / International Palm Society's website/discussion forum. Probably not advised for those who think palms are threatening outerspace triffid invaders...
The closest we can come to that look here in the San Francisco bay area is the desert plantings and aloes/agaves at the Ruth Bancroft garden, which also has a fabulous pictorial web site and is currently also buttoned up for the winter rains and cold with protective rain structures for those plants unable to take what our relatively mild but non-desert winter weather can bring. Some of the agaves need protective huts the size of a decent tool shed, and can resemble recent Wall Street protest encampments...
Thanks for providing the visual terrene, that is exactly what I am talking about, is that fugly or what?
In terrene's first photo, I see burlap snowmen, some with punk hairdos.
In the second photo, a convocation of zoo animals; I think they're muffled in blankets, disguised to facilitate their escape from captivity....
I might go to the trouble to plant something that needed protection in my own garden, but I would never design it for somebody else. The needed protection would never get done. That goes for plants needing a garage for the winter and anything that needs special pruning or spray, much less ugly wrapping.
I speak from experience.
I do like the Japanese wrapping and the colorful tree sock though. One is a bit of work and the other a bit of whimsey.
I'm surprised they even need to wrap plants in Japan, how cold does it get? but nice wrappings, could pass for a christmas ornament if you added a red ribbon here and there.
Something new in my town this year - a public Japanese garden, freshly built and planted with lots of rhodies - I should go and check how they're getting prepared for winter!
The Japanese islands cover a lot of different climatic zones, ranging from subtropical to very cold and snowy at the northern end. Being next to a continental land mass of China/ Russia, it can get very cold even in relatively mild Tokyo.
Oh, I so want a pair just like those !!!
You made my day !
laughing all the way to the yarn shop.
... will have to ask my boyfriend though.... do those sock monkey pants make my butt look big ?
possible answer : butt your crack'en such a big smile.
Sock monkeys rule.
I don't protect anything from cold--but many of my JM's have little cages around their trunks to protect 'em from the Evil Deer and Dastardly Rabbits. Deer would rack them, rabbits peel the bark.
I take that back. Last spring the weatherman was predicting a hard freeze after a prolonged period of warm weather. Temps were supposed to get to the mid-twenties for several hours at night. My JM's had all started to leaf out. And my Nikko Blue hydrangeas were leafed out as well. I covered everything with remay (tobacco bed covers). My yard looked like it was full of little ghosties for two nights in a row:
but this is the impressive one:
My Orange Dream Maple on March 20, 2001:
Same tree a week later as a "ghostie":
That tree is WAY taller than I am. Took a ladder, a husband, and a wee bit of insanity to cover it. But it was worth it. Everything escaped unscathed.
When I was taking some pictures today for another thread, I took this one that shows the effects of the wrapping of cedars that a neighbour continued to do long after there was any possible reason to do it! He's likely going to have to replace this hedge or it will always look funny.

One mining specialist is questioning whether a proposed iron mine in the Penokee range has enough social support to go forward.
John Coleman is an environmental section leader at Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission, a group that helps enforce tribal treaty rights in Wisconsin. Coleman has worked primarily on mining issues since 1994, when a mine proposed near Crandon faced tribal opposition.
Coleman thinks state regulators aren't as tough as they were in the nineties.
Today marks 10 years since two Native tribes purchased land that was once slated for a copper and zinc mine near the Mole Lake Sokaogon Reservation.
That tribe and Forest County Potawatomi bought the land for more than 16 million dollars.

Spanish King Juan Carlos, who announced on Monday his plan to abdicate and pass on the crown to son Prince Felipe, may have started a possible "word war" with his British counterparts.
His public statement in a TV address that "the younger generation deserves to step into the front line, with new energies," may have surely been welcomed by his 46-year-old son, but his alleged statement to the chief of the royal household may anger Queen Elizabeth.
The Telegraph quoted the king's remarks to Rafael Spottorno, as reported by El Mundo on Sunday, "I do not want my son to wither waiting like Prince Charles."
Sporttorno was quoted as saying, "He saw, above all, that his son was in his prime and didn't want to see him like Prince Charles who will be 66 years old in November."
That is one year past the compulsory retirement age of 65 of civil servants in many countries and Prince Charles have yet to have a hint when would he wear the British crown.
The Zarzuela Palace declined to comment on the article that appeared on El Mundo.
A survey by another Spanish daily found that 62 per cent of Spaniards want to hold a referendum of Spain should continue to have a monarchy, and if the referendum were to be held, 49 per cent would prefer to retain the monarchy with Felipe as king, while 36 per cent would favour a republic. However, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has rejected calls for a referendum.
The crown prince is expected to become King Felipe VI on June 19 after the Spanish Parliament approved the abdication. With the current king's statement, many Europeans would be interested to know if Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles would attend the coronation rites.

A Building Block Approach to Network Control
Adding a network interface to a microprocessor-controlled product significantly complicates the product design. This paper describes a method of minimizing this added complexity by encapsulating the network interface in its own processor and providing a simple, standard internal communications interface between the network processor and the host processor. This approach significantly eases product design and reduces development time, component count, and cost.

trying to figure out whats draining battery,light behind messaging center stays on & key halo light ring stays on does this have a timer on it.

1992 Dodge D150 Question: battery drain
Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, February 09, 2011, 22:21Master
That sounds like your truck "thinks" a door is open. Does the interior light stay on?
It may be a bad battery or parasitic draw on the battery. You may have some sort of battery draw that needs to be isolated and illuminated. You would need an amp meter disconnect one cable of the battery put your Amp meter in series with the battery cable that has been removed. Note the draw say for example 15 Amps, with the keys out of the ignition, doors closed driver's window down, start removing the fuse links and fuses one at a time until the voltage draw goes away to zero (or near zero about .02 to .05 Amps is about normal for a modern vehicle with a clock, stereo and other things that need "keep alive memory"). It is that circuit that is causing the electrical draw, then look at a wiring diagram, see what consumers are on that circuit and start to isolate each circuit to see which is the culprit. Modern cars have lots of computers and electronics that need constant battery even with the key off so parasitic draw of .2 Amps may be normal sometimes things stay "live for a minute or two after the door is closed so wait and look at the draw after a minute or two.
For decent wiring diagrams there are two companies that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You can get a one week subscription or year subscription very cheap. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores and much cheaper than the factory manual try Alldata which is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online or Mitchell on line http://bit.ly/Mitchell1_Online_Repair_Manuals and get an online repair manual subscription.

Utilities need to change to promote renewable energy
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Utilities play a key role in developing the markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency, Ron Binz, senior policy adviser for Colorado's Center for the New Energy Economy, told a conference in Charlotte, N.C., last week.
Binz -- formerly chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission -- was keynote speaker at the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association conference.
The Center for the New Energy Economy, based at Colorado State University, is headed by former Gov. Bill Ritter.
Binz told the conference that utilities must adopt a new business model and governments must adopt a new regulatory model, and that those must recognize the new market.
He said utilities face the prospect of losing sales "rooftop by rooftop" as solar power costs continue to decline. With decreasing cost for renewable energy and greater potential for energy efficiency, the current model of increasing profits by increasing sales will be seriously undermined.

Brand asks for five minutes of attention in exchange.
Fast-food chain Burger King is handing out free Whoppers to DirecTV viewers so desperate for a beefy fix that they're willing to stare at a spinning sandwich on their TVs for five minutes. What's more, those prepared to endure 15 or 30 minutes of the gyrating foodstuff will be rewarded with two or three Whoppers, respectively, for their troubles.
The campaign is intended to preserve the value of the Whopper - the chain's flagship product - by asking users to earn their free food, rather than giving it away cheaply in return for simple social media actions, for example.
"It's amazing how easily brands give away their products on platforms such Facebook. I understand wanting to attract 'likes'… but there's ways to interact with consumers without gutting the value of your product," explained Matt O'Rourke, Interactive Group Creative Director at Burger King's agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky. "People are willing to do a lot to get their hands on whopper," he added.
The innovative campaign, dubbed Whopper Lust, will likely be the last CP+B conducts for the fast-food brand after the pair announced they were parting ways earlier this year. "We're getting close to the end," O'Rourke said of the relationship.
In the meantime, DirecTV users can tune to channel 111 to view footage of the spinning Whopper, and are required to press buttons on their remote on command to prove they're giving their undivided attention. After the first five minutes, players can either request to have their coupon mailed to them, or choose to continue to watch for either 15 or 30 minutes to earn two or three whoppers instead.
According to CP+B, Americans have stared at the sandwich for over 300,000 cumulative minutes since Monday morning, but that total will reach over 810,000 minutes, or 13,500 hours, by the campaign's end on Friday if viewers continue to tune in at their current rate. "It's blowing up. It's doing very, very well," O'Rourke said, adding that the number of burgers originally allocated for the entire week had already been claimed in the first four hours after the campaign went live.
In terms of driving viewers to the channel, O'Rourke said the agency has done very little in the way of paid advertising, relying primarily on word of mouth to let the campaign spread organically.
On the back-end, DirecTV is providing the agency with metrics on how many households claimed the free burger, and how many each household claimed. So far, the number of users watching for 15 minutes to earn two sandwiches isn't far behind those claiming just one. O'Rourke said the agency "felt sure people wouldn't sit through 30 minutes," but added that the number choosing to do so "isn't far behind those going for two."

Jets recall Patrice Cormier from IceCaps
Jim Slater is down with an injury, Patrice Cormier is up from St. John's and Alex Burmistrov is fighting to get back into the lineup.
That, in a nutshell, sums up the developments Wednesday with the Winnipeg Jets, who gathered at MTS Iceplex following Tuesday's dominating 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs and with the New York Rangers in town for Thursday's tilt (7 p.m. TSNJets/TSN 1290).
Slater, the veteran centre, apparently broke his hand blocking a shot Tuesday night and according to coach Claude Noel, will be gone "week-to-week." The Jets recalled the 22-year-old Cormier from the IceCaps to fill his spot in the lineup, although Noel said his insertion will be a game-time decision.
Originally drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2008 NHL entry draft, Cormier has 11 points (7G, 4A) in 32 games with the IceCaps this season and has been their best player in the last month.
"The reports I got [indicate] he's been playing quite well," said Noel of Cormier. "He's been very aggressive and been one of their better players. We get game reports every game and he's done well. He brings energy, he's a strong guy, good on face-offs and he's played very well. I think he'll be enthused to get back up here."
As for Burmistrov – who was a healthy scratch from the lineup Tuesday – he wasn't saying much about Noel's decision. And the coach was just as mum.
"That's a coach's decision. I guess I'm not playing that good," Burmistrov said. "I will just stick with working hard in practice and trying to get back."
"It was just a coach's decision... which is one I don't want to share with you," added Noel. "Alexander and I have a good relationship and I've always been open with him and spoke to him. And I've spoken to him all the way along. I spoke to him again today. For me, it's something between him and I that we need to work out."
The Jets play host to the Rangers Thursday and then are in Toronto and Ottawa Saturday and Sunday before returning home for four in a row at MTS Centre against Boston, back-to back with Washington and then Tampa Bay.

Aux Armes Citoyens!
Yesterday, France elected Francois Hollande as its next president. As I discussed last week, I believe that this is a good thing for France and for the European economy. The incumbent, Nicholas Sarkozy, was far too committed to following German Chancellor Angela Merkel's austerity programs within the Eurozone, and austerity programs never work unless paired with growth policies. Hollande's victory, combined with the still murky results of elections in Greece, should help Europe move away from the policies that were doomed to fail.

I have been tearing through books recently, due to my snazzy iPad Mini. I did a review a couple weeks ago, and I like that type of post, so here goes another one, this time 4 (5?) books and not three. I will review the first three here, and then do the last two – […]

The Struggle for Hong Kong
September 10, 2012
Here in Chengdu, people have been asking me: "Hey, did you hear what they did in Hong Kong? They stood up to the government." There is no mention of winning or losing. Only the fact the HK citizens have the courage to stand up to the government, something Chinese, in general, feel they lack. One […]

A True Belief
December 30, 2011
Tom from Seeing Red in China pointed out some China Quarterly essays and one of them is the inspiration for this essay … Few of China's problems seem so intractable as the issue of the Chinese soul and what morals are available to guide it in the 21st century. The whole concept of a soul […]

China-US Cold War and what we can do about it
December 27, 2011
Can it be denied that the US is actively engaging China's border nations in an attempt to contain and control China? It seems pretty clear to most observers that such was the case years ago – Kissinger commented on the idea of containment back in 2005 – but with the recent moves in Myanmar and […]

A few weeks ago I told you about Sesame Street's goal of hitting one billion views on YouTube to put them in the same pantheon as the likes of PSY's "Gangnam Style," Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber.

One killed, two injured in Hurst gunfight
A man is dead and two others were wounded in a gunfight that erupted Thursday night, Hurst police said.
About 8:15 p.m., Hurst police responded to the 200 block of Norwood Drive for a shots fired call and an armed robbery incident.
Police said details were "sketchy," but they believe a Hurst resident in the 100 block of Charlene Drive noticed a vehicle with two men inside parked at the dead end of the street. The resident saw a man exit the vehicle and walk into a dark open field bordered by a residential fence line, assistant chief Richard Winstanley said in a news release.
Thinking something might be up, the resident armed himself and kept watch from his backyard, Winstanley said.
Police believe the man walked through the field toward the 200 block of Norwood Drive and later entered a convenience store on the corner where he held a customer and the clerk at gunpoint and demanded money, Winstanley said.
When the man fled the store and went back across the field to the vehicle that was waiting, the resident "challenged" either one or both of the men and a gun fight erupted, Winstanley said.
He said the gun fight continued as the vehicle attempted to flee and the man suspected of armed robbery and another man in the vehicle escaped.
As Hurst officers were responding, Euless police also responded to a shots fired or gunshot victim call in the 3000 block of Sycamore Circle, five minutes away.
When Euless police arrived they learned one of the men who had escaped in the vehicle had asked a resident for help with his gunshot wounds. He was later transported to a hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, Winstanley said.
The other man suspected in the incident was found fatally shot in the vehicle, he said.
The Hurst resident was transported by a friend to an area hospital with at least one gunshot wound that was not believed to be life-threatening.
Hurst and Euless police are still investigating the incident.

GOP primary hopefuls are attacking Newt Gingrich, but online efforts from the Democrats still target Romney.
Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, and Michele Bachmann have slammed surging former House Speaker Gingrich in recent web videos and television ads. However, the Democratic National Committee appears to view Romney - considered by observers to be among the more palatable among primary candidates to general election voters - as the bigger threat.
An onslaught of more than 20 produced videos disseminated on YouTube by the DNC since October have Romney in their crosshairs, portraying the former Massachusetts governor as a flip-flopping career politician who's out of touch with the average American.
In that time period, the DNC's Rapid Response channel on YouTube - home to the majority of the party's attack videos - has featured just one anti-Gingrich video.
Recent Democratic Party videos paint Romney as "out of touch" and "extreme on immigration," and poke fun at how long he has been in politics. A humorous December 8 video incorporates a Twitter hashtag in the hopes of generating buzz. The "#YoungerThanMittsPoliticalCareer" video presents a parade of things that have been around longer than Romney's life in politics, including "Tickle Me Elmo," teen drama "Dawson's Creek," and Google. The attempt at creating a Twitter meme fell flat, though. A search today for the Mitt-mocking hashtag on Twitter turns up just three tweets.
The DNC's video attack on Gingrich, entitled, "The Original Tea Partier" and posted on December 10 - has attracted far more views than any of the channel's anti-Romney videos in recent months: more than 57,000. Only one video attacking Romney that has been posted to the DemRapidResponse channel in the past few months that comes close is a video calling Romney "Absolutely wrong for women." It has around 47,000 views.
In December, the DNC has posted 10 produced videos targeting Romney. That steady web video drumbeat is indicative of the Democrats' 2012 strategy, which at this stage appears aimed at attacking Romney almost exclusively. It suggests that the Democrats not only still believe Romney will win the GOP nomination; he's potentially the greatest threat to a second Obama term among all the other Republican hopefuls if he makes it to the general election.
An ABC poll reported today shows an Obama-Romney general election is neck-and-neck among registered voters.
The DNC's rapid response team's video strategy also reflects that of the broader party organization, which has posted a handful of television ads opposing Romney to the main Democratic Party channel on YouTube.
Even Priorities USA Action, the big Obama-backing Super PAC, is pushing an anti-Romney message online. The group's homepage highlights a video portraying Romney as a tea partier who aligns with corporate interests and has the best chance of beating Obama in the general election.
Meanwhile, the President's official reelection campaign organization, Obama For America (OFA), is focused squarely on reminding base supporters why they voted for him in the first place. Since the 2012 campaign launched, OFA has interspersed strategy updates and recruitment-oriented videos with glossy web clips covering specific issues and aimed at key voting blocs with titles like, "How Wall Street reform is working for you," "President Obama repeals 'Don't Ask Don't Tell,'" "Ending the War in Iraq: A Promise Kept," and most recently, "Faces of Change: Emily's Health Care Story."
Online ad messaging from OFA is intended to generate campaign signups for fundraising and volunteering. Even the first TV ad from OFA focused on building the supporter contact list.

Hairy Vetch
gemfire(z9/10 AZ)July 4, 2009
Was just reading about Hair Vetch because I saw an article where it was planted over the garden area and then in the spring mowed and left as mulch. I noticed that it said it got a tap root of 1 to 3 feet and was wondering if anyone as tried using it to break up the hard caliche we have here. I wanted to try doing that with Alfalfa because I was told it worked. How hard is Hairy vetch to kill out when you're done with it. Maybe I'll try small section of each in my yard to see which works best. Any comments would be appreciated.

Reader's view: Don't let PolyMet repeat Reserve Mining's mistakes
In 1976, I sent a special-delivery letter to the president of the United States, Gerald Ford. I had just returned home, cold and disillusioned, carrying a container of drinking water from a spigot on the side of the village hall in Proctor. Other folks were getting their water from a spring out on Highway 2 and other places. The reason?

Video: Traffic stop turns into dramatic pursuit, gunfight
During a traffic stop the suspect seems compliant until he fired at the officer
By Kyle Feldshcer
Ann Arbor.com
NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Northville Township police Thursday released a video showing the incidents before this week's fatal police shooting in Washtenaw County, including an exchange of gunfire during a traffic stop and a high-speed chase.
Gabriel Stevenson was shot and killed by a Michigan State Police trooper early Tuesday morning after he lunged at police with a knife, according to investigators. The video — recorded on a Northville Township patrol car camera — ends before that final confrontation is shown.
John Werth, Northville Township public safety director, said Thursday that Stevenson was stopped by police after attempting to start a fire at the home of an 18-year-old man who he previously targeted twice.
