Repotting golden barrel cactus
I recently repotted a golden barrel cactus in some cactus mix, but now that I read the ingredients (I know, should have done that before I bought it), I see that it's mostly peat humus which I think from reading posts in this forum is not good for the cactus.
I'm wondering if I should repot it with some other materials mixed into the soil, but I'm worried it will traumatize the cactus if I do that since it was just repotted. So which is worse- soil that retains too much water, or repotting it so soon?
If the soil mix is really that bad I would repot it. I grow mine in a very gritty, mineral based mix...perlite, pumice, turface, some potting soil, and a little charcoal. Peat is just asking for trouble with these plants of ours...it is really hard to re wet it once it really dries out.
That's what I would do.
I had a similar question about a different plant - a Christmas cactus. I, too, repotted, but after reading a thread on the subject found that I had used the wrong type of soil. I didn't get the old peat off the roots, either. (Boy, I really did a lousy job!)
So - fixing the soil trumps disturbing the plant again so soon?
* Note to Self - Read and research BEFORE doing something!
It takes a while for succulent plants to settle it's roots in to any soil even if that soil is the best of soils For both you could fix it as soon as possible or ready the new soil ingredients for an ASAP time later.
Usually not ideal to disturb while growing but as accidents can happen ( POT TIPPING ECT ) most would re pot at the earliest time possible. If you know something is wrong a sooner fix is better than later, or to late to fix.
Still, Golden Barrels are incredibly tolerant of all sorts of soil types, and peat is not the end of the world. I would not go out of my way to get soil with peat in it, but I would not fret over it should it have some in it (unless it was the bulk of the soil ingredients) in a pot with something like that. But repotting it will do very little if any stress to your cactus at all, as the roots have had no chance to adapt to their new soil anyway. I have used soils with peat in them now and then and for the most part have not regretted it.
It looks like peat humus makes up 50% of the soil composition, so I think I should repot it.
Another question- I repotted it 2 weeks ago, and it looks like I won't have time to repot it again for another 2 weeks because of travel. I also haven't watered it in ages- it had been a month when I repotted it, and I was waiting to let it settle/acclimate before I watered it again. So should I just leave it dry until I repot it? That will make it 2 months without water/fertilizer. Plus wait time after repotting it again?
Thanks for all the advice, it's very much appreciated!

By Alexander Clauss
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iOS. It provides many unique and useful features you won't find in other iPhone browsers.
iCab Mobile can upload any files on web pages, like uploading photos on flickr.com or Facebook.com. Due to limitations of the iOS this does not everywhere, but it works fine on many web sites.
iCab Mobile comes with several default search engines you can choose from. You can easily add new search engines. Search suggestions from google and yahoo can be activated on the iPad. It's also possible to search within a web page.
iCab Mobile can save web forms and restore the form content later (manually or automatically). The saved forms data can be password protected.
There's a built-in and customizable URL-based filter. The default filters block many advertising banners. You can edit, add or remove filters. It's possible to switch off images to save bandwidth.
iCab Mobile supports Tabs, so you can open multiple web pages at the same time. Links can be opened in Tabs (in the foreground or background) manually or automatically. iCab can save the tabs when quitting so these can be loaded even when being offline, the next time the App is launched.
Bookmarks can be organized in folders. You can import/export the bookmarks from/to your PC/Mac browser. Bookmarks can be also saved as "Offline Bookmarks" which can be even opened without an internet connection.
iCab Mobile provides a fullscreen mode where the whole screen is used to display the web page. No screen space is wasted for toolbars.
iCab Mobile has a built-in Download Manager so you can download almost all files from the internet. The downloads can be easily transfered to a Mac/PC/Linux computer but also to other Apps on the device which can open these files
You can create multiple user accounts, each user has its own private bookmarks, filters, settings, etc.

- Today Widget: You can add web sites to the "Today" section of the notification center. This can be helpful to show important information of web sites directly in the notification center, without the need unlock the device and launch the App. The web page you add to the notification center is loaded offline, so it does not need an internet connection. Also because of limited ways to interact with "today" widgets, you should zoom and scroll the page before adding it to the notification center, because this is not possible within the notification center.

- Fixes an issue with OAuth authentication requests from web sites.
Customer Reviews
Great app and excellent developer support
I've been using iCab as my primary browser for about 6 months now and have to admit, it's my favorite. There have very few instances where I've had to go back to Safari. iCab works well with openvpn and has almost all features you would want for a full function browser. The only draw back might be the products best feature, flexibility. The good news is most options can be ignored with little impact. In other words new users should not worry about the products comprehensive feature until they are comfortable using its basic features.
Excellent support. Almost all questions have been answered within 24 hours.
Keep up the great work!
Started to work again
It recently started to work again, but here's my review for when it didn't. It had to be force quit a few more times before it started working as expected.
I upgraded and now it's totally unusable. I had macrumors, slashdot, and google finances open and now every time it launches, slashdot gets to 1/2 loaded and then the app freezes and then crashes. I can feel my iPad Air 2 is heating up. I can't interact with the app to kill the tabs so it's totally hosed at this point. Sigh.
This is like the biggest hidden gem of the app store. I call it the FireFox of iOS. As customizable as it can get. Closest experience to desktop browsing, even 1password plugin works!
I paid for this once like back in 2010, I still get free upgrades!

Penn National Proposes Springfield Casino
A second major casino company has unveiled plans for a project in downtown Springfield Massachusetts. WAMC's Paul Tuthill reports.
Penn National Gaming is proposing an $807 million dollar resort casino off Interstate 91 in Springfield. Spokesman Eric Schippers said the proposal is for a Hollywood branded casino, up to a 500 guest room hotel, and a parking structure for 4000 cars. The plan also calls for a housing and retail development along the Connecticut River, relocating the Republican newspaper's printing plant, and renovating the historic Paramount Theater.
Penn will be competing with MGM Resorts, which has a project proposed in another part of Downtown Springfield. Ameristar Casinos has purchased a former industrial site on the city's east side.

...the world's biggest SodaStream. Anyone for plankton-flavoured pop?
Show us the code, Skype.
Open source it, if you have the balls. In the meantime, folks, have a read of this Register article from some years ago:
I bought my first Double
Crossed Play Blu-ray film today (The Inbetweeners, if you must know). The label proclaims that you get a second disc with a "digital" copy (who knew Blu-ray was analogue?). It says you can use this on any device you want but all is not what it seems.
The second disc (DVD) says it contains versions compatible with iTunes and Windows so the first thing I did was to slot it into a drive on a Linux machine just for laughs.
That quite obviously didn't work so it was then placed in a Windows machine. There was the usual autorun crap that wanted to run a programme called digitalcopy.exe, which I'm guessing is some kind of DRM infection. The "digital" copies were .wmv and an Apple format file of some kind, both around 1.3GB in size. Neither would play in any software player at hand. Even Microsoft's own Windows Media Player didn't want to know.
Searching hasn't really given any clues other so I wondered if the collective genius of El Reg had managed to solve this problem.
this is a remarkably ignorant comment
Did someone piss on your cornflakes this morning? Funnily enough I'm neither a malware expert or nuclear facilities engineer but I think I'm allowed to voice my worries here.
And if I was considering the likelihood of some country making a nuke and using it I think I'd be looking at the countries that have built one and tested it first although no one seems too bothered about those countries.
Until someone fucks up and a nuke plant goes bang. It seems hard enough to securely operate a nuke plant (Fukushima, etc) without some morons from elsewhere deliberately screwing around with control systems. Jesus H.
<-- Too obvious?
< a href="URL goes here" >Link text goes here< /a >
And lose the spaces between the a's and the < >
That about 50 badly designed pages these days.
"just two files were accessed"
It doesn't matter if it was two or 2,000. If it was just one file that had all the data they'd still be screwed.
See my earlier post. Mozilla have been doing address bar search for years. This could be fun.
Address bar search in Firefox has been a feature for years.
I seem to recall it was even a feature in later versions of the Netscape browser although I could be wrong about that.
Man, you mustn't travel very often
At the risk of sounding like the song "I've been everywhere", I've done several decades of organising temporary and permanent multimedia installations for companies around the globe. The last time I counted I had been to over 60 countries on five continents. One example: I did a six year contract with one of the world's leading airlines that meant I traveled quite a bit with them. I also fly between Aus and the UK regularly for non-biz reasons. I can fill an extended 48 page, 10 year UK passport before it expires. I guess that means I know nothing about air travel.
And Qantas really are crap.
...I'd rather walk across Australia than fly with Qantas. World's worst airline.
The trouble with US TV content is that it all looks and sounds the same. Audiences here in Aus seem to like US crime dramas based on the same tired formulae so that's exactly what they get. Endlessly. Repeatedly. Relentlessly. Then it's repackaged as CSI This and CSI That.
As for "overlapping dialogue and sound effects", that's just fancy packaging of thin content to distract pretentious reviewers. Good drama is based on a good story, not tinsel.
Worst of all is that US accents annoy the fuck out of me.
Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple: Privacy-invading, commercial scumbags.
Mozilla: Trying to do the decent thing.

Spot on. Base camp is where the horizontal bumps into the vertical. The lady is basically taking a long country stroll.

Are you channeling the spirit of Alan, otherwise I'm wondering how you can make pronouncements on his behalf.
Quite obviously not but do you don't have to be a medium to have a good guess that he'd not be a great supporter of his ideas being used to suppress people. Who would?
Yes, it's great that Turing could be openly gay in UK 2012 but what about the countries that still oppress gay & other minority groups and monitor their communications? Turing would be appalled that people used his inventions at risk of imprisonment or worse.
Why does that look like a license key?
What is a license key?
If Turing and his colleagues had foreseen that their legacy had been turned from defeating the enemy overseas to mass surveillance of UK citizens I bet they'd have been none too pleased.
We don't have a licence fee here in Aus and guess what? The TV here is utter shit. The only decent stuff is BBC/C4 imports and the Euro films on SBS. I've given up on watching TV in the conventional sense.
At least use the "send corrections" button instead of "comment". Sheesh.
I was opening the door for someone more witty than me to continue the light-hearted banter. It looks like someone didn't see the door, let alone walk through it.

UKBA's McGregor agreed, adding that "serious criminals are making increasing use of a more sophisticated internet" adding that said crooks were also using "smartphone techniques".
So they are requesting more power over the citizenry with the only reasons being utter bollocks. Shameful.
You don't get to decide what is "good humour" or "bad humour"
Spot on. There may be different subjective meanings that can be applied by a reader but the only true meaning is the one chosen by the writer. Hang on a sec, let me check with a local linguistic expert to confirm that:
"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
Google are to be congratulated for taking a stand.
Google aren't taking a stand. They are marketing themselves. It's a pity that most people seem unable to spot the difference.
Stay smart online? You couldn't make this up.
Yes, indeed. An email client has really simple requirements. Compose and send, receive and read. I think these were taken care of years ago.
Mine's a Spitfire, thanks.
A company builds a product, in this case a very good mail client, and adds a features over the following years.
Then the usual software problem arrives: the product does what it was supposed to do, plus the aforementioned bells and whistles, so where does it go from there? Do you add more features, in which case it stops being a mail client and becomes yet another Swiss Army software product that does lots of things but none of them particularly well or spend the next few iterations doing cosmetic nonsense like Microsoft? When the biggest improvement to the next version is a new interface then you know things are getting a bit desperate.
It's not easy to innovate in email when most of the issues were solved years ago. Mozilla's current product problem is easy to solve as all the core functionality is there and anything else can be done with extensions.
Bargain bin or landfill?
Excuse the pedantry but QUAD's marketing strapline was "The closest approach to the original sound".
I was under the impression that the principle behind these loudspeakers was invented at EMI's Central Research Labs at Hayes or was that an earlier incarnation?
Whatever your view on Google they're one of the more creative corporations of the last decade
What's your definition of creative? It looks to me like they just bought shitloads of existing companies and ideas.
The Labour Party site uses googleapis, Google+ and Google Analytics. Maybe Harman should get her own house in order before gobbing off.
It's a matter of public perception. I wanted to look at some vids of people using BlackBerrys to compare them with iPhones and Androids so I typed "rim" into a video search engine...

Just fine, thanks. Installing openSUSE on various desktops and netbooks here has had zero impact on my PS3.
...and saved $40 per machine.
Don't send in the crappi.est/applications
Chrome is the Justin Beiber of browsers: pretty, young, heavily advertised, loved by the gullible but best avoided at all costs.
Google, however, does give a rather large fuck about Google.
An example from Down Under: Top Gear is shown here on a commercial channel. In the UK each episode runs for a full hour and often a few minutes over. The Aussie broadcaster hacks it down to 35 minutes of content and fills the other 25 minutes with commercials (usually the same ones repeated every ten minutes*).
Given the choice of watching that or a dodgy download of the full fat BBC version it'd be a fool that chooses the former.
* This should be added to the torture section of the Geneva Conventions.

The Space
The property is located in a quiet residential area in Costa Rei, named as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world by the Lonely Planet.
Costa Rei is a small paradise if you want to enjoy a perfect holiday by the sea, lying on the white sand and jumping into the blue crystalline water when you feel too hot.
The property is a one bedroom top floor flat comprising a spacious double bedroom with a built in wardrobe, a separate fully tiled bathroom with shower, a large open plan fully fitted kitchen/reception room with wooden sliding doors leading out to a fantastic private terrace, which offer an amazing panorama (see photo) and the opportunity of a romantic dinner or an extraordinary barbecue with your friends or family.
The apartment is fully furnished with a television, barbecue, reservoir, iron and board, freezer, fridge and oven and has a private car park.
The flat is absolutely perfect for a couple or for a group of three friends or a family with a child (a part from the double bedroom there is a sofa bed for one person in the reception room). Ideally located within easy walking distance from the centre of the village, transport, beach and local amenities, so that is the right place also for a stay without a car.
From May to October this touristic village offer all kind of facilities including: shops, a little amusement park for your children, pizzeria and restaurants where you can taste delicious fresh fish and seafood and enjoy a superb aperitif while listening to music in one of the small squares; twice a week markets take place with stalls of typical local food and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Costa Rei offer various kinds of exciting things to do, such as excursions by boat to very small islands, protect areas, where you can have a unique and rare chance to see dauphins and huge sea tortoises and admire a wonderful flora, a variety of water sports and horseback excursions.
Costa Rei is well connected to the main town, Cagliari, and to the other villages through an efficient bus service during Summer time, meanwhile during winter time is better to rent a car or take advantage of our guidance.
My family owns two houses in Costa Rei, and was one of the first family to build in this location more than 40 years ago. We know really well the area and the locals and we can give you excellent advises about the best beaches, restaurants, places to visit and activities to do, in order to have the best unforgettable experience in Sardinia.
From this location you can also have the opportunity to go trekking in the nearest mountains of the Seven brothers, visit some of our archaeological sites close to Cagliari in a journey trip or enjoy local food and wine in the country festivals organized by the neighboured villages.
I speak Italian, English and Spanish and I will be eager to help you in everything you need and to introduce to the Sardinian hospitality and amusements.
The payment of all local services as provided or booked (final cleaning, safety deposit, and other extras, and other entries) peremptory on arrival. Only after the payment will give the keys of the house and the invoices for each paid service.
Pagamento servizi in loco: è tassativo il pagamento in loco, all'arrivo, di tutti i costi obbligatori - pulizia finale, servizi extra richiesti, deposito cauzionale e quant'altro previsto - nessuno escluso. Ad avvenuto pagamento, verranno consegnate all'inquilino le chiavi dell'immobile e le ricevute relative a ciascun servizio pagato.
Der Aufenthalt in David's Ferienwohnung war sehr angenehm, da wirklich alles vorhanden war, was man benötigt. Die Aussicht ist toll und ein sehr schöner Strand in 10 Min Fußweg zu erreichen. Für 3 Personen (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kind) ist der Platz ausreichend.
David und sein Bruder waren sehr zuvorkommend und haben schon im vornherein alle wichtigen Informationen übermittelt. In der Wohnung erwartete uns ein Präsentkorb mit leckerem Wein und anderen Aufmerksamkeiten.
Was man wissen sollte ist, dass es sich um eine Feriensiedlung handelt. Wer ursprüngliches sardisches Leben sucht, ist hier also an der falschen Adresse. Für diejenigen, die hauptsächlich Strandurlaub machen möchten und sich unter anderen Touristen wohlfühlen, ist dies aber eine sehr gute Wahl.
Davide hat alles sehr schön vorbereitet. Es war sogar ein kleines Gastgeber Geschenk vorhanden. Was wir in diesen Tagen sehr genüsslich gegessen und getrunken haben. Davide hat sich stetig bei mir gemeldet um die Anreise zu erleichtern. Es hat uns sehr gefallen. Diese Aussicht aufs Meer war einfach Fantastisch. Der Ort sehr schön gelegen und man möchte schon gar nicht mehr nach Hause gehen. Davide hat alles super organisiert und ist ein sehr zuvorkommender Gastgeber.
We had a great time at the place of Davide. He was a perfect host and the flat was absolutely as good as described. It is fully equipped with all the stuff that you need for a daily life. Even a boogie board was there.
Davide answered every e-Mail quick and very informative, so that we were very well informed before starting our holiday.
Davide was a great host, he gave us much informations for having a good stay. The flat was very lovely and we missed there nothing. The great view from the balcony was amazing. All in all: we had a great stay at davides flat, thanks!
Davide is very available and flexible to meet your needs at arrival. He is very nice and helpul to make everything easy. He even leave an arrival gift.
The description of the appartment is exactly what you find. The location in the heights is great and the view amazing. The house is clean and the terrace a real pleasure. Whe had a wonderful time in Costa Rei. The beaches and sea are so beautiful. You absolutely need to experience a day on a sailing boat and a morning with Georgio on a sea kayak tour (cf leaflets in the house).
La casa di Davide è stata perfetta per noi.
Il particolare più bello è senza dubbio la terrazza e la magnifica vista sul mare di Costa Rei. Sempre ventilata, mai calda e ben fornita. Bellissimo fare il barbeque in terrazza.
Anche la posizione è strategica. In pochi minuti si arriva alle spiagge più belle.
Unico neo: il letto matrimoniale un po' scomodo, ma per una settimana è sopportabile.
Non abbiamo avuto modo di conoscere Davide, ma ci ha accolto suo fratello ed è stato molto gentile e disponibile a fornirci tutte le informazioni importanti sulla casa e sulla zona e per qualsiasi richiesta era raggiungibile telefonicamente.
We stayed in the apartment with two children. For us it was a bit small, but for 2-3 people enough space is available. The apartment is well furnished. View from the balcony is a wonderful. The balcony is some hot in the morning and very comfortable in the afternoon and evening. Davide good host. He met us, gave guides to the apartment and Costa Rei. During the stay we had a problem with gas cooker which was solved for a couple of hours by him. Thanks for a great holiday in Sardegna. Pavel
My name's Davide.I' m from Sardinia.I lived several years abroad in Spain (Barcelona,Madrid) and in UK (London).I was a travel agent. I love spend my time playng the bass.
I'm .very kind and helpful

The Knights were just rulers and Rodos continued to prosper as they encouraged trade, built naval ships and the Citadel at the high point of the city.

This book is so silly and has so many errors in it, it's even funny. But it's a nice and short description of the language... a very short one. I doubt that anyone could really learn Hindi with it, though.

Need help with sunflower sprouts
I am very new to gardening and made a really big mistake when tilling a new bed in my yard. We decided to put it in an area where we used to have bird feeders. We tilled down several inches and then mulched. Two days later we planted several shrubs and perennials in the new bed. It looked fabulous until the next morning when we found dozens of sprouts coming up throughout the bed. We pulled them but just hours later dozens more came up. Upon some research online, they look to be sunflower sprouts. Is there anyway to stop them from coming up without digging up everything and starting from scratch? I really don't want to risk losing hundreds of dollars worth of plants but also don't want to either spend weeks pulling up sprouts every day or ending up with sunflowers growing all over my manicured bed. HELP!
Use a pre-emergent like corn gluten meal or Preen. These prevent seeds either from germinating or developing a root system if they do germinate but have no effect on established plants like your shrubs or perennials. Mulching will help also but IME, you need a pretty thick mulch to deter sunflower seedlings.

An Open Door to Extraordinary Worlds Opens Wider
The 92 Street Y in New York has just launched an amazing online resource, 92Y On Demand, with recordings from their massive catalog of some of the interviews and performances that have occurred there going back to 1949. Some of the many speakers include Kurt Vonnegut, Chinua Achebe, Sherman Alexie and Sapphire, Dylan Thomas, Maria Bamford, Lou Reed, Dan Savage, Junot Díaz and Jamacica Kincaid, Maurice Sendak, Ruth Reichl with Ann Patchett, David Rakoff, and Leonard Lopate, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
So it goes.
Kurt Vonnegut went to Biafra shortly before its fall in 1970 (Biafra previously). This is what he had to say about it.
"Crossroads possess a certain dangerous potency."
How Things Fell Apart, By Chinua Achebe - 'In an excerpt from his long-awaited memoir, the inventor of the post-colonial African novel in English discusses his origins as a writer and the seeds of revolt against the British Empire.'
I can say that my whole artistic career was probably sparked by this tension between the Christian religion of my parents, which we followed in our home, and the retreating, older religion of my ancestors, which fortunately for me was still active outside my home. I still had access to a number of relatives who had not converted to Christianity and were called heathens by the new converts. When my parents were not watching I would often sneak off in the evenings to visit some of these relatives.[more inside]
"Once upon a time there was an elephant who did nothing all day." - E. E. Cummings
Did you know James Joyce wrote a children's book (sort of)? Patricia Highsmith wrote one too. So did James Baldwin (not to be confused with James Baldwin the children's book author). Eugène Ionesco wrote four stories for young kids. Graham Greene also wrote at the very least four children's books (and possibly more). Other unlikely children's book authors are Aldous Huxley, E. E. Cummings, Chinua Achebe (2, 3, 4), Eleanor Roosevelt and Gertrude Stein. Author Ariel S. Winter has written about all these books on his excellent blog We Too Were Children, Mr. Barrie. On his Flickr page you can look at scans from these books, sometimes even the whole book.
BBC World Service Documentaries
BBC World Service has over 500 audio documentaries you can download. The subject matter is incredibly wide ranging, for example, internet cafés, the influence of Islamic art on William Morris, South African female AIDS activist Thembi Ngubane, Yiddish, the importance of cows, novelist Chinua Achebe, financial risk management, Obama as an intellectual, the physical and emotional effects of a car crash and many, many more. If the quantity and variety are overwhelming, you can subscribe to a podcast, which delivers a new documentary to you every single day.
Beyond 40 acres and a mule
Many Americans' understanding of the idea of reparations for African slavery in the U.S. stems from Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's field order that slaves made refugees by his march through the South be given parcels of Charleston's former sea island plantations and one of a surplus of Army mules. [more inside]
Literary Interviews from The Atlantic Monthly
The Atlantic Monthly has helpfully indexed literary interviews from its archives. These include, among others, Alice Munro, Chinua Achebe, Dennis Lehane, Zadie Smith, Charles Simic, Salman Rushdie, Susan Sontag and John Irving.
Even a caveman wouldn't say it
86 the Stone Age. And don't say Primitive or Tribal on the BBC. It might be OK to say "changed little since the Stone Age." Or maybe Stone Age is a fine euphemism for uncivilized. Perhaps the west needs more than 30 years to rethink it's own tribal superstitions.

So now that the worst winter in years is done how did everyone fare? My pots were devastated by the multiple teens and zero days this winter. All killed outright on to the ground. Most in ground also killed to ground except-Bloomstruck,Lady in Red,Twist and Shout(all related )Veitchi Lilicina and oddly Ayesha and a bi-color lace cap that name escapes me were all fine. All the Nikko,ES,Merritts,Penny Mac and Redstar etc. were flattened.Gardienas also mostly gone and Camillas untouched. How did everyone else do?
Only hydrangea showing signs of life at this point is Leuchtfeuer, budding all along the canes & pushing new growth in full leaf from beneath the soil. This in just the last few days as the soil is warming. Hopefully, the dormant flower buds formed last year are still viable - can't distinguish leaf from flower buds on the old canes as yet.
Endless Summer, Penny Mac, Mini Penny, Sandy Summer & Midnight Salsa still appear lifeless. But where deer nibbled a bit, see live cane, so maybe they'll pull through. Gardenias & Sky Pencil holly freeze-burned & browned out, but their stems still alive.
Tough Winter, not so much for the low temps but the extended cold without milder patches of relief. Just have to wait & see how it all turns out when Spring manages full steam ahead. Plants have surprised me before by rising again past a full year later...
Anybody in the Chicago area or similar climate areas seeing any signs of life on their Pinky Winky, Glowing Ember, Incrediball or Moonlight? Some of my hydrangeas like Forever and Ever and Endless Summers are slowing shooting out. But my Pinky Winky, Glowing Ember, Incrediball, and Moonlight look so hopeless right now. I'm assuming that my Glowing Ember is done for since I forgot to cover it over the winter. But I really hope the rest will somehow come to life soon.
My paniculatas are all starting to show signs of life. Of my Macs and Serratas, only Blue Billow is showing green. It has green from the base and up and down the canes. I'm pretty impressed. We even had nights in the mid 20's this week and Blue Billow appears to be unharmed. If it blooms, I'll really be impressed. As for the rest, mostly rebloomers, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they survived. Still too early to tell. Hope we don't have another winter like this in a long time.
Oakleafs woke up early and managed to skirt a freeze when the freeze warning did not materialize. I thought the leaves would have been goners if it happened. Many macs appear to have "lost" some stems and are getting new growth from the base. Probably not due to that freeze but unusually low temps we had earlier. I have an Annabelle that has not awakened and is starting to concern me. Camellias are "finishing up" on the bloomage I should have seen in January. Wisteria is is also finishing up. Roses are either blooming or getting ready to bloom.
Spring still hasn't settled in here, very late this year. Dogwoods & early azaleas just beginning to bloom, everything in slow motion, thunderstorms today. Surprised to read this nursery near Atlanta reporting 80% of their gallon macrophyllas were killed to the root over Winter. Guess I'll just need to be patient with mine...
Here is a link that might be useful: Winter damage Atlanta nursery

Oh wow! At least it would not be a total loss. And the rebloomers -if any- might still command good prices if they "look" good.
I still remember Atlanta getting hit one year with a long thaw, followed by a freeze that killed a large number of trees because the thaw tricked them into leafing out too early! I do not remember how hydrangeas/azaleas/etc fared but remember that it killed a lot of tree$$$.
Thanks for the link!
Good morning. I haven't been on here in ages. I was searching for info on how to tell if my hydrangeas are still alive or not and re-found this site. What a hellish winter! I have dozens of hydrangeas and the only ones that have any green starting are the Lady In Reds (both semi-protected at the corners of my house) and 2 of the Oak Leafs - Alice - and I'm not sure what the other one is. I am so disappointed. I have these in the entire border around my house. I have spent 13 years planting and nurturing these plants. They are my favorites. Do you think I should leave them be for the year and see what happens? I sure can't afford to replace them all at this point. It's been years of collecting a few at a time. Thanks for your help:(
I only have one - an es. Quite a few years old. I was really worried it might not come back just from the leaf spot it had last year alone. It completely defoliated the poor plant until finally it was just bare canes a month or so before my growing season ended. It had given up for the year, and I was afraid it gave up for good.
I've seen new growth starting two weeks ago! But I've already picked off two leaves with a spot on them. I feel like this plague is going to continue. :(
As of today, on all outdoor specimens:
50+ macrophylla - nothing green above 3" off the ground on anything. Not to say the buds are dead, but they look brown and soggy, even though the stems are still alive. It looks like I may have lost one, an ES, that had "tree trunk" syndrome where the crown was above ground. No nothing from that plant.
Grayswood, Preziosa and Tuff Stuff - same as macs for now
Quercifolia Alice - deer ate 90% of buds as usual, even though I used liquid fence on dormant plants all winter.
3 H. arborescens are far ahead, with leaves coming out along the 2' tall stems (I keep mine trimmed to that height).
10 H. paniculata are fine. All pruned and ready to go. Buds leafing out. Grandiflora is always last.

BROWNINGTON ŌĆō Want to learn about timber framing? Then make your way to the Old Stone House this week where volunteers are building a barn.
The barn will resemble one that stood on the property just after the Old Stone House was built, until 1924 when the Orleans County Historical Society purchased the building.
Directors at the time thought the barn was unsightly.
TodayŌĆÖs members donŌĆÖt know who purchased the wood or where it went. They do know they need a barn to house an exhibit that tells the history of Farming in Orleans County.
NEWPORT CITY ŌĆō The Newport City Docks are expanding to meet demand. Twelve transient ŌĆ£slipsŌĆØ for boats to dock for day use or up to one week will be added this summer, said Andrew Cappello, the cityŌĆÖs recreation department director.
An approximate 130-foot addition will be added to the current transient location, with a completion date estimated at July 1.
The new addition will not only help meet demand but also help boats dock safely in the event of a storm and will encourage more visitors to Newport, Cappello said.

The place is a paradise. You have a beach for yourself, and the facilities of Terra Nossa are very clean and nice. The best is the staff. Mike, Mary and Silvi are great and fun people. The breakfast is really good and abundant, and the food is brilliant. I will come back to this place soon. Is a place to disconnect of the rest of the world and enjoy the beauty of life.

Worst experience of my life.We arrived at the hostel to,supposedly, occupy our "single bedroom with shared bathroom"and the staff presented us hammocks!In the middle of the beach with only a roof as cover! Apparently,while making the reservation,we needed to move the mouse over some thing or another to see that instead of a single bedroom we were reserving a hammock. Since the owner didn't want to take responsability,we were lucky enough that another staff member booked us for another hostel.

I would recommed everyone to skip Itacare town and go directly to Terra Nossa; My girlfriend and I went to Itacare for only one night and we didnt like it so we decided to try Terra Nossa and we loved it. The place is amazing, just on the beach, full of palm trees and a desert beach for ourself. Mary and Mike we helpful and welcoming, ask Mary to select the coconuts ( Mike thinks he know the best ones but he doesnt). Thanks!

The convenience of the restaurants
Many kids constantly running every where day and Nite....very noisy
love the pool and workout area
a lot of walking to parking lot, but not that it was bad weather so it didn't really bother us.
The drive up to the grand (old) building was impressive. The guest room was larger than we expected, and the hotel was pretty quiet. The complimentary 'continental' breakfast was considerably above average.
The room had not been cleaned carefully (We saw a sock under the TV closet). The arm of the desk chair was broken. There was no 'privacy' sign in the room; an employee (?) unlocked it while we were in it, without even knocking!
Beautiful building, gorgeous interior and very friendly staff.
Sound proofing in rooms needs serious work. This hotel does many outside events and I could hear said events from my room, as well as every person walking outside my room. Water pressure in shower was no more than a trickle and tv reception kept going in and out. All in all just not what expects from a Hyatt.
I really liked the room, amenities, staff, atrium
The architecture of the floor. Who was the numbnuts who created only one elevator area???
Mostly pleasant.
First room was dirty. Used towels hung in bathroom. Dirty shower mat on floor. Pillows thrown about. Was quickly moved to a clean room. Staff quite apologetic. Still disappointing.
The cleanliness and friendliness.
It had no microwave or refrigerator.
Nice room, had everything I needed, a fridge, shower, bed, and wifi. I have no real complaints. The room was clean and had fresh towels/linnens when I arrived. I was never disturbed during my stay.
Wifi was a bit slow.
It was absolutely disgusting. Toilet and tub both clogged twice. They actually refunded the whole room
Because of our complaints. Do not stay there. It is t worth it. You will feel dirty.
Everything. Great staff. Grey location.
Health facility could be bigger
The ambiance was wonderful. There was jazz playing in the lobby with a view of a fire pit in the lounge. The food at the restaurant was exceptional.
I didn't like being lied to. I may never stay here ever. I confirmed, 3 days prior and 24 hrs prior to arrival. At check in, told suite is unavailable. Then asking for different suite being lied to about actually not a suite but reg. Rm., then said they would check other hotels...b.s. On my own had to find alternative location.
Location was questionable
I was very pleased with the customer service of the hotel. Staff was very friendly as well as very helpful. The price of the stay was very good for the hotel and breakfast was included. I will definetly recommend this very nice hotel..
Mattresses are not that comfortable.
So big and nice the lobby and elevators.
Bathroom wasn't so clean.
Covered Parking, Free Internet, Price of the room was reasonable.
The facility never seems to improve. They have been working on the building for a long time and most of the improvements seem superficial. The rooms are dated, the elevator lights were out, carpets dirty. Same ole, Same Ole.
Rooms were very clean
Only one elevator
Here's why:

Ajai Sreevatsan
Too much focus on individual achievement, says activist
CHENNAI: The charter of human rights is too important not to be taught at the school level since issues of justice and development are firmly intertwined with individual rights.
That was the view conveyed by teachers and academicians who participated in a worldwide live video conference on 'The rights of children' organised by the United Nations recently.
"The ultimate aim is to bring the world, with its immense diversity and complexity, into the classroom," said Wayne Jacoby, Director of Global Education Motivators, from the UN conference room in New York. "But any change has to start with teachers." Since most school-going children step into the classroom from extremely unequal and exploitative societies, experts say that the integration of human rights into the curriculum is essential.
V. Vasanthi Devi, Chairperson of the Institute of Human Rights, says "Though human rights are universal, most violations are contextual. They happen in communities and in the school's neighbourhood. Awareness of one's rights can be empowering, especially for underprivileged children."
The Institute runs a programme on human rights in 370 Adi Dravida welfare schools in the State. While a broad outline on rights is given in class VI, specific focus is given to child rights in class VII. Pointing to the trend of most children being programmed to compete by the time they reach class VIII, Ms.Devi says that too much focus is given to individual achievement and cognitive development, at the expense of other facets of intelligence.
"The rest of the world does not exist for children because no attention is given to emotive or psycho motor skills."
Calling on schools to provide an enabling environment to pursue social education along with academic education, P.Krishnamoorthy, Deputy Head (Development Support), CRY, says "Children should know that 50 per cent of girls suffering from malnutrition are in India. They must be provided intellectual space in schools so that they may influence stakeholders. Even things like the ban on corporal punishment must be monitored by student collectives."
He added that only if children get to know about their rights will they stand up for the rights of others.
Bhavanishankar Subramanian, principal of the Omega International School, one of the schools that took part in the live video conference, said "In emerging multi-cultural settings, students have to be taught to move from tolerance to acceptance. They must learn to resolve issues through dialogue, not debate."
He added that as a result of integrating human rights into the curriculum, problems such as bullying and peer conflict are getting easily resolved. A teacher from a New York school said during the virtual discussion session, "Respect for the other is the starting point. We move forward by seeking similarities in our differences."

Convenia for Cat with skin/iching issues
One of our cats (~ 4 years old) has had skin issues since we adopted her-2 years ago. Bad itching all around the head (face, under chin, in and behind ears). No ear mites, no fleas although she was infested when going to the shelter (where she stayed for 8 months). Sometimes she scratches so hard that she creates scabs. We have been trying to get to the source of the problem since we adopted her. It gets a little better for a while, then it comes back.
Also she has a bald area on her belly by the tail since we've had her. As soon as her hair seems to grow back, she licks again!
At the end of December, a self-inflicted wound developed on the inside of her hind leg. The vet cleaned it up, gave her an injection of vetalog and antibiotics for a week. It got better for a while, but reappeared again.
We now have a new vet who has given her 3 injections of convenia (one every 2 weeks). Things are pretty much the same, although no new lesions on the face. We have another follow up visit this Monday.
Is it safe to have that many injections of convenia?
Our cat has not had any signs of side effects, but .. considering there is no MARKED improvement, do we need to continue? (our vet says it can take up to 8 weeks to clear..)
What else could it be?
She has had several skin crapes, but nothing.
Food allergy? we tried to switch her diet, but she never went for it--plus not easy with 3 other cats.
On our last visit, new vet took some skin/hair sample to test for fungal problem. We should get the results soon.
By the way, besides this skin issue, she is perfectly happy & healthy!!!
Thanks for any input,
Cats can be allergic to many things besides fleas and food. She may be allergic to pollens, molds, fungi, dust mites, or pretty much anything in the environment over which you have little or no control.
It can take several weeks to heal a deep skin infection. But the problem is that your kitty is still itching, which is making healing at all very difficult. Scratched skin doesn't heal well, and it easily gets reinfected.
Some things I might try are switching to a non-prescription novel protein diet that all the cats can eat. I personally like Natural Balance foods which are available in most pet stores. Choose a protein source your cat has never had before.
Keep all the cats on monthly flea control. For allergic cats, you only need 1 flea bite and they end up itching all over with secondary infections again.
Change all food and water bowls to stainless steel and wash them every day with soap and hot water. Ceramic and especially plastic bowls collect bacteria and molds, creating contact allergies.
Ask your vet about Allederm Spot On to help rebuild her injured skin. Use according to label directions
(prescription only).
Try a skin biopsy to make sure there aren't any other causes for her problem. I've had negative skin scrapes on pets and done a biopsy and the lab has found mites in a couple of cases.
While immunotherapy seems to work less in cats than in dogs, if all else fails it may be worth going through allergy testing and shots. It worked very well for one of my dogs, but he still needed occasional short term steroids to keep under control, in addition to diet change, ripping all carpet out of the house, and dust mite fabric on his bedding. He was VERY allergic to dust mites.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
I am sorry it has taken me so long to thank you Mazer and Meghane for your input--that was almost 2 weeks ago! I apologize.. I was waiting for the results of the fungal culture test.
A quick update.
1. Vet agreed that a 4th convenia injection was probably not going to make any difference. She gave me some tresaderm to apply to the hind leg lesion for a week, twice a day. The lesion is 'dry' right now. No hair yet, of course. In the past, when it looked it had healed (hair grown back) she would start picking at it again, re-opening it, so I won't cry 'victory'.. yet.
2. I mentioned Allerderm (thank you, Meghane) to the vet-at her last visit a week ago, and she did not know anything about it, but said it was worth trying, so she ordered some. It just came in. Might wait to see if leg improvement persists first before applying.
3. Fungal test just came in.. and it is NEGATIVE.. Great!
So I am not sure where we'll go from there. The scratching around face is not as bad right now. So I guess it will be wait and see. It's very hard to get her to play these days, so I would not mind a couple of weeks without meds... I still think the scratching around the face (for 2 years now) and the hind leg lesion (6 months ago) are not connected. I think this might have been a spider bite (or flea? all our cats are indoors..yes, I know, that does not mean anything, but we have never seen any signs of fleas on any of them) that she keeps biting on..
Meghane, all our cats'bowls are either china or glass. After your message, I started rinsing them all with boiling water.. One of our cats always puts his paw in the water bowl so .. I am cleaning these twice a day now..
Carpet? yes, I have thought about that, too (a big change from the shelter), but we only added some areas rugs 6 months after adoption because their running around was destroying our hard wood floors.. We 've always known her with this issue. That's of course might be our next step..
Mazer, we do have a holistic vet an hour away (who did treat one of my 'angels'). However, this cat is traumatised by a car ride, so ... Really wished we had a holistic vet here!! All our vets are very, very "conventional" and more tuned in to dogs than cats.. but I like our current one.
Things are not too bad right now, so hopefully.. they'll stay that way, although I have no great illusions..
Meghane, thanks for taking the time to answer. Your input is always so appreciated!
Thanks again,

SWR officials are delaying giving data about when the track was last checked, who used to monitor the railway tracks in the Anekal area, SK Mittal said.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the budget would check the pace of Indian Railway as there were no new trains and projects.
The government has raised the planned outlay for the next financial year that begins in April by 52 percent to 1.1 trillion rupees, Prabhu said today.
"The review will be completed soon so that we can announce new trains and increase frequency in this session," Prabhu said in his maiden rail budget speech.
Prabhu said the Railways can become an engine of growth in the coming years and contribute 2.5 to 3 per cent in the GDP with an improved infrastructure.
Railways has earned Rs 1,14,656.13 crore during April-December 2014, registering an increase of 12.57 per cent.
