Title: Transplanting large Silverado Sage bushes from Mesa AZ
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We just bought a condo with three Silverado Sage, each one is 6-8 ft tall, trained to grow as "trees" with bare branches for the bottom 4 feet or so, and beautiful flowering branches on top. They are probably 15-20 yrs old according to the neighbors.But we need to move them because they are about 5 feet from our back yard wall, taking up the only usable space for a table, chairs, etc. in our very tiny back yard. Can we move them back 5 feet without killing them? We want them to stay TALL because they currently provide lovely privacy from adjoining condos. They just need to be against the wall instead of the middle of our "backyard".
Silverado Sage is a trade name for Leucophyllum frutescens (Cenizo). Sometimes they are called Texas Sage or Barometer Bush, and most are selections of those plants for better color or longer blooming. According to this USDA Plant Profile Map, it hasn't even been reported as growing anywhere but in Texas, but obviously it grows in Maricopa County, AZ. If you follow our plant link (above) to our webpage on this plant, you will find these growing conditions:
"Growing Conditions
Water Use: Low
Light Requirement: Sun , Part Shade
Soil Moisture: Dry
Cold Tolerant: yes
Heat Tolerant: yes
Soil Description: Rocky, well-drained soils. Limestone-based, Sandy, Sandy Loam, Medium Loam, Clay Loam, Clay, Caliche type
Conditions Comments: According to legend, cenizo tends to bloom in conjunction with rainfall. Cenizo is easy to grow so long as it has good drainage. Though this species is the most irrigation-tolerant of the genus, it is susceptible to cotton root rot if soil does not have good drainage and remains moist. Humidity and high night temperatures are lethal. Cenizos should not be fertilized or over-watered. Drought- and heat-tolerant. During very cold winters, may lose a few leaves."
It can bloom year-round, depending on the rains. We have actually never seen one pruned up into tree shape; most gardeners in Austin apparently prefer to leave them unpruned for the sake of the gorgeous blossoms. However, it sounds like it has been properly treated and pruned and is a wonderful idea for a privacy screen.
However (you knew there was a "however" coming, didn't you) we really would hate to see you mess with such lovely trees, with the danger of losiing them outright. Some suggestions:
1. Don't even consider moving it before cooler weather, like November to January. That would almost guarantee transplant shock and quick death.
2. Read this article from Clemson University Cooperative Extension on Transplanting Established Trees and Shrubs.
3. Now read this one from Popular Mechanics on having it done professionally. This might be easier on your back, maybe even easier on the tree, but it will be expensive and, frankly, we are not sure the type of equipment necessary will even go into your small yard.
4. Finally, IF the shrub survives, have you considered how the roots and the wall you mentioned are going to affect each other?

(AP) – Yoko Ono turned 80 years old Monday February 18, 2013. Known for being married to John Lennon, Ono is still going strong working as an avant-garde artist. She married Lennon in 1969 and was widely claimed to have created the breakup of the Beatles in 1970. Paul McCartney defended her recently and said she had nothing to do with it and was an inspiration for John.
Reflecting on her life so far, Ono told reporters recently in Germany that she didn't feel like she is turning 80. Ono says, "I can't believe it. I mean I just don't think that's possible. Because I feel that I haven't done enough. I mean enough for an 80 year old person."

|No. 15 Pirates looking very young at linebacker
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 18 September 2008 08:46
Wide-eyed stares.
Hudson, East Carolina's defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, is trying to take three players with only special teams experience this year and have them ready to step in after starter Quentin Cotton went down with a knee injury. The 15th-ranked Pirates had played only four linebackers all season, meaning sophomore Melvin Patterson and redshirt freshmen Cliff Perryman and Steve Spence - who have combined for one tackle this year - will have to play as reserves when they travel to North Carolina State on Saturday.
``We call them 'The Shock Troops' because they're in shock when we put them in the game,'' Hudson said. ``They're at the edge of the cliff. They're like a young bird, and I'm going to push them in.
``They're going in. Whether they like it or not, they're going in the game.''
for the Pirates (3-0) considering they have plenty of experience in starters Pierre Bell, Jeremy Chambliss and newly elevated Nick Johnson. But for a team that has held opponents to about 270 yards per game and shut down West Virginia's offense, Cotton's season-ending injury in the second quarter of last weekend's win at Tulane has left them precariously thin at the heart of the defense.
Bell (28 career starts) is still around to anchor the middle, while Chambliss has started all three games at outside linebacker this year. Johnson had played all three positions and will replace Cotton in the lineup.
Behind them, Patterson had 20 tackles at safety last year, but his only tackle this year came on special teams against the Mountaineers. Perryman and Spence have yet to tally a hit.
Are they ready?
``We're going to find out,'' Chambliss said. ``We're giving them a lot of tutoring. We're pulling them off to the side after each snap and we're trying to tell them to do this or line up like this. We're doing a lot of coaching to them as if we're (Hudson).''
Patterson, for one, doesn't sound too worried.
``I feel like I have a great grasp on the system,'' he said. ``Coach is letting us know we have to step up, so I'm preparing myself on the field and off by watching extra film. I'm not worrying about going out and playing to Quentin's level, but just going out there and making plays.
finitely happy that I was put in this position and I'm looking to take it.''
Still, the situation is enough to make the coaches a little antsy. Earlier this week, coach Skip Holtz admitted that young players can be scary because their inexperience could lead to game-changing mistakes. But the Pirates don't have many options, either.
Hudson, who has been with Holtz in Greenville since his arrival four seasons ago, figures it's not all on his linebackers. He is quick to point out that he's every bit as responsible for how they perform, though he also says it's impossible to know exactly how they'll react to playing in front of a game day crowd.
``They've got a lot of energy, and they don't have many bumps and bruises on them,'' Hudson said. ``They're fresh and aggressive. We've got to put them in position where they don't fail. That's my job. If I get a guy out of position, we'll pay the consequences and inevitably that's my fault.''

Not sure what I should do. Any suggestions?
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 3:15am
Seems like quite the guy to be complaining to his wife's mother about her daughter! LOL! I would tell my SIL straight-out that I don't appreciate the things he was saying and that's why I wasn't giving him rides any more!
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 10:23am
Yeah - I have to agree with Sadie. He sounds like a real piece of work. Just wondering - are they making an effort to get some other type of transportation? Do they only have that one vehicle or is there another one that your daughter drives? If so, why isn't she getting up at those early hours to drive him to work?
I would definitely let him know that no matter what he has to say about his wife - she is still your daughter and that you will not tolerate it. Most people respect that boundary.
It sounds like you should recommend they get into marriage counseling. Out of curisoity, does your daughter complain about him?
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 11:11am
This isn't the 1st time he's done this. No I haven't told dd. She would get upset & either start WWIII with him & move in with us {and we don't have room for her & MIss Lu} or she would get physical & kill him. That's why I haven't told her. My dh told me to just ignore him, he young {33} & doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut & just forget about it. He has told me, that my dd is a lesibian {really? wow why did you marry her then?} if he's opening his mouth like this to xh, no wonder xh doesn't like sil. They have 2 jeeps, both are broken down. SIL is a good kid, he has worked for UPS for 9 yrs, {he works in the supply warehouse, so not union job, but paided well} he works his butt off. He just can't seem to manage their money very well {dd is a much better money manager} SIL is the youngest of 8 or 9 kids, his folks are both gone {xh,dh & I are the only grandparents} he gets ticked off at dd & wants a divorce & wants custody of Miss Lu & wants to go back to Montana where he's from {WA state won't allow either of them to leave state with her, I know this~sil doesn't }
He's mad that dd isn't work 40+ hours, that we are trying to start a Brownie/Jr girl scout troop at Miss Lu school {got the same crap from xh too by the way} that dd doesn't do things the way HE demands. Yes I did want to pop him in the head with my cast iron skittet. Would of that been so wrong? LOL yea I know it would of.
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 11:14am
We have offered to help pay for the repairs, but sil wants to do the work himself {with our tools by the way,his got stolen out of jeep}a cording to sil, by this Thursday he should have it repaired {he's been telling us that for almost a month now}
|Wed, 09-12-2012 - 5:54pm
Bus, I'm sorry but I'm completely confused.
Why in the world would you listen to someone trash talk your dd if you didn't want to??????
Honestly, why can't you simply say, "Listen, I know you are frustrated, but I'm not the person to talk to about this. Maybe you guys need some martial counseling or something. But please stop talking THIS MINUTE because I don't want to hear it.'?
And, yeah, drop him off on the side of the road if he doesn't learn to control his tongue (or if you aren't willing to do this, simply don't show up the next time he's expecting a ride from you).
This just seems like an easy thing to control to me. Give him one clearn warning, and then just stop driving him anywhere if he can't learn to shut up around you.
|Tue, 09-25-2012 - 11:22am
If this is the only time you have seen such behavior out of him, it might have just been a horrible horrible day and he felt he could trust you by telling you all this.
But...do you see other signs of abuse? If so, you might want to quietly approach her and ask her if she needs help, and maybe give her a pamphlet on abusive relationships.
Another thing to remember is, divorce does not always fix abusive relationships, especially when children are involved. And if the son in law finds out that you said much, things could get worse.
|Tue, 09-25-2012 - 2:05pm
This isn't the 1st time & I'm sure it won't be the last. I told my dh that I don't want to help him anymore. I just don't want to be around him right now. We aren't thank when we help them. I think he just expects we will help him out. {And the only reason I do is because of dd & odgd}

Depression: The Elephant In The Room
I've dealt with depression for years.┬Ā Actually, since I was 12, although I wasn't diagnosed till I was 27.┬Ā When I worked for this little company where everyone thought of everyone else as family, and I came in every day and cried at my desk from 8am to 5pm, then went home and tried to be normal for my daughter, my "family" made me go to the doctor.┬Ā Thank you guys!┬Ā They give you this little quiz to see if you are depressed, and if you score a 7 or higher you are.┬Ā I scored a 27. ┬ĀHA!┬Ā I've always been an overachiever.
Some days, it's a struggle to get out of bed.┬Ā It's a struggle to remember to feed myself, or do laundry, or to give a flying sh*t that cat litter needs changing.┬Ā Some days, it's a struggle to not open a pocket knife and open a vein and watch the pain flow out.
Don't totally freak out.┬Ā I haven't actively tried suicide since I was a teenager.┬Ā But that doesn't mean I can't hear the siren song of peace, that I don't struggle with suicidal ideation or that I don't know exactly how wonderful it would be to give up. ┬ĀLuckily for me, I'm genetically incapable of giving up.┬Ā I am stubborn personified.
Living with depression is like watching all the colors bleed out of the world.┬Ā You remember them, you can name them.. you even know where they go.┬Ā But you can't see them, or smell them, or hear them (yes, colors have sounds, silly non artistic person).
I have chronic depression, so that means I'm going to struggle with this the rest of my life.┬Ā I've done years of anti-depressant drugs, and therapy.┬Ā You know what those drugs do for you? They take the edge off, they let you see glimpses of color.┬Ā Technically, they balance the chemicals in your brain so that the lows are not quite so low and the highs are not quite so high.┬Ā They also stifled the creativity.┬Ā┬Ā Most fun I ever had was telling my therapist that I couldn't hear the voices when I took the meds.┬Ā I MEANT my muse, the voice that writes my poetry or helps me draw or sculpt.┬Ā She thought I meant actual auditory hallucinations.┬Ā That was a fun day in therapy.
Therapy does something entirely different for a person with depression.┬Ā Therapy gives you a safe place to talk about the events that triggered the depression, a compassionate place to talk about the feelings of worthlessness and anger and bleakness, someone to watch out for your suicidal days, and most importantly, therapy teaches you coping skills.
Coping skills are things that help you to know a depression cycle is coming on.┬Ā You learn your triggers, or the things that should signal to someone outside watching that you are in trouble.┬Ā Coping skills can be little things, like when the colors start leaching out, reach out to someone and let them know.┬Ā I say little, but honestly, reaching out is one of the hardest things to do.
Some people are blessed by the heavens because they never feel depression.┬Ā Some people are lucky, because they have one bout of depression and get over it.┬Ā Some of us are challenged because we will fight this demon in our own minds every day of our lives.
But the biggest challenge for a person suffering from depression doesn't come from inside.┬Ā It comes from outside.┬Ā It comes from "the rest of you."
Depression is an invisible disease.┬Ā Unless you are a cutter, it doesn't leave marks anyone can see.┬Ā Now, anyone living with a person with depression can tell you it leaves scars, deep permanent scars.┬Ā But you can't see them. And unless I'm sitting around crying or screaming (yeah, sometimes depression isn't sad, it's FURIOUS), or refusing to get out of bed, other people forget I'm struggling.┬Ā They think "it's over," or "she's well," or "she's normal."
Well meaning friends say things like "get over it" or "life isn't fair" or "you know, you never seem happy."┬Ā My personal favorite lately has been, "aren't you always depressed? What's new?"
Here's a clue for the rest of you.┬Ā We know what a burden it is to deal with our depression, and we HATE putting that on you.┬Ā So we hide it.┬Ā And we pretend we are fine.┬Ā And we pretend we are strong until we break.┬Ā Just to make it more comfortable for those around us.
No one likes to talk about depression, not even the person going through it.┬Ā Do you really think telling someone I care about that I want to fade away until I can't see myself is fun for me?┬Ā But not talking about it creates that elephant in the room.┬Ā It's a big, heavy, unmovable "secret" we all know about but we are trying to pretend doesn't exist.┬Ā Because pretending is more comfortable.
My therapist used to kid me that it was awfully hard to know that I was depressed because I smiled all the time.┬Ā I laughed at everything.┬Ā I told her it was more acceptable to laugh than cry, and I was afraid if I started crying, I wouldn't stop.
Why, as a society, do we do this to each other?┬Ā We don't ask people with schizophrenia not to see their visions.┬Ā We don't ask people with OCD to get over being germaphobes.┬Ā You wouldn't tell a man with a compound fracture to his leg to just "walk it off."
Why do we demand that people with depression make us all more comfortable ŌĆō especially when we know that putting that kind of pressure on someone makes them more fragile?

Nikki and Katie are the kind of girls I always wanted to party with. They are such crazy sluts that you know the second the party starts and the camera is on, they will go wild and beyond.
Uh Oh! Bunch of punky babes were over at our party, getting buckwild in the hot tub. Started with some wet T shirt titties, then an orgy broke out in the living room. Before you could say "skank," these babes were getting their tight asses pounded.
If you put four amateur sluts in a hotel room with a camcorder, it won't take long before you get them flashing out a window, and making nasty footage like what they sent to us. Two of these teens met up with dudes after to get their pussies pounded.

The car barely pulled out going to Vegas when these skanks were slobbering on my boi's knob. The three of em were DTF in the hotel too, and we started our trip off right with a little fuckathon. No gamble here, gettin with these hos was an easy bet!
We were having a Halloween party and invited every amateur slut we knew. It got a little crazy when the chicks started comparing tits, and soon the college sluts were getting fucked! We screwed them hard and then gave them a nice taste of warm jizz!

Feastday: March 21
Birth: 1791
Death: 1858
Beatified By: 10 May 1987 by Pope John Paul II
Canonized By: 19 May 2002 by Pope John Paul II at Rome, Italy
Benedetta recieved the jewel of good christian formation from her devout parents. Always a devoted youngster, she received the gift of a profound mystical experience at age twenty, which left her with the desire to pursue a vocation as a religious. However, her parents preferred strongly that she marry, and in filial piety, Benedetta bowed to their wishes, and married Giovanni Frassinello, in 1816. They lived together for two years as man and wife. In 1818, the couple agreed to live together chastely, dedicated to God. At this same time, they took Benedetta's younger sister Martha into their home to nurse her through her final fight with Cancer. When Martha died, in 1825, the two entered religious orders, Benedetta joining the Ursiline Congregation, and Giovanni the order founded by St Jerome Emiliani.
Benedetta was forced to return home because of failing health only a year later, but obtained a miraculous cure through the intercession of Saint Jerome Emiliani. Now she felt called to undertake a new work of devoting herself to the education of young girls. She obtained her bishop's approval, and the bishop also requested that Giovanni leave the seminary in order to assist Benedetta with the work, because of the scope of the task. The two took a vow of perfect chastity into the hands of their bishop, and set out on their joint task.
Benedetta perservered in following God's will through a very unusual set of circumstances. Her courage and conviction helped to transform women's education in the region. Although after first setting out, Giovanni and Benedetta had to endure gossip and calumny that could have destroyed their work, Benedetta was wise enought to withdraw and place her beginnings in the hands of the bishop to prevent this, leaving to live as a nun in Ronco Scrivia.
Eventually, Bendetta was able to found the Congregation of the Benedictine Sisters of Providence. The guiding charism of her order is their focus on the education of young girls and confidence in and abandonment to God in the living out of their vows.
After correctly predicting the time of her death, Benedicta died peacefully in Ronco Scrivia at her motherhouse, on March 21 1858.

I dig Rousey but that is some stupid shit right there. Also, was I imagining things, or does she not train with Diaz? Or at least has some sort of personal interactions with him? It's not too surprising that her opinion would run this way. Mind you, that makes me more forgiving in a way… of course she's going to align herself with her friends as well she should.
Ronda Rousey: Georges St. Pierre Is Boring, Needs To Step Aside
Ronda Rousey is a girl with attitude, a girl that speaks her mind. When asked how she felt about Nick Diaz possible fighting Georges St. Pierre someday:
I think that fighters that just try to win by points and come away with a win are actually bad for the sport. If you never saw MMA before, and you walked in and you saw GSP and Koscheck, and all this jabbing out the whole time, it looks like a boring boxing match. And I don't think you gain any fans with a fight like that.
And so I really hope that Nick Diaz beats the crap out of him, because Nick Diaz is entertaining, and he's an entertaining character in general. He might not be popular but I mean I can't but watch every video he puts out youtube. I think it's funny as Hell. And every single one of his fights is a brawl. It's not like a pitter pat match where afterwards he goes "Were friends, were all friends" and then okay let's go home. I think that's boring.
GSP was good for the sport for a while. He brought in some big sponsors like Gatorade and UnderArmor. But I think he's done everything he can in a positive way and he needs to step aside and let Nick Diaz kick his ass.
GSP is a legend in the sport, but do you think Ronda has a valid point?
Now that Brock Lesnar is retired, GSP is the biggest PPV draw in the sport. I doubt he will be looking to hang up the gloves anytime soon.

Ronda is friends with Nick, but they don't train at the same gym. I agree with what Ronda said, this is a professional sport, you have to entertain the fans. GSP takes no chances in his fights, which makes him boring. Go Ronda!
Agree. Finally somebody put in words what all of these other PC fighters are afraid to say.
she's a tough chick but it's pretty easy to talk about people that you're never going to fight. how about beating Miesha Tate first. at least Chael Sonnen talks about the people he's actually going to have to see across from him in the cage.
I think she is an idiot with a pretty face
I agree.
she's getting too big of a head now. somebody should just beat GSP then. nobody has in a long time. make him fight a different game. i think Rousey is good for woman's mma but she needs to slow down a minute. if she gets her ass kicked, she'll be one and done and all her talking didn't mean a damn thing.
the worst part is that he's a female chael sonnen. meaning that as much as she runs her mouth and acts like an ass. she has the athleticism to back it up.
you mean she dumbass
thank you for filling in a letter mistake. uh, i'm going to go f**k your mother now.

DescriptionUsed to describe any game where the main setting of gameplay involves the player character moving from one side of the playfield to the other horizontally for a length of time. The screen may scroll to the opposite direction continuously, or just when the player character reaches the edge of the screen, enlarging the area or opening a new one. Side-scrolling perspective is often entirely two-dimensional; however, some side-scrolling games (particularly beat-'em-ups) may allow limited movement into the depth of the screen. Side-scrolling perspective is common for most 2D platformers, as well as many 2D shooters and action games in general.

I'm trying to design a cross-browser web app build automation using TeamCity that would do something like this:
- Take the sources from the VCS
- Build the web app
- Deploy the app to a test server
- Run tests on several VMs/Build agent with appropriate browser (versions) installed
- Deploy to a staging server (for human testing) if everything went fine
I'm a bit confused about the step 4. It's far from trivial, and I already figured out that there are going to be separate build configurations, so each can run on a separate build agent, but that's where I lose it.
Is it possible to build such a config, or do I have to schedule Test Build configurations that run on different Build Agents separately?
Another question is - how do I get a Build configuration to copy something that's been built with another configuration to the Agent running the build?
I mean - so far I only used build agents to actually build something and optionally run unit tests against something that's just been built, but this introduces another dimension, and I'm not sure if it's possible at all.
Thanks v.
