November 28, 2014
Summer seemed to vanish in an instant over the weekend... as cold air and clouds infiltrated Northern Nevada.
The Sierra saw it's first accumulations of snow overnight... making for a messy morning commute.
For several hours this morning... a heavy wet snow fell in the Truckee area. The National Weather Service recieving reports of as much as six inches in the higher elevations. Trees dusted and covered white... made for a beautiful sight. Area roads coated with a slick slush... at times made for trecherous travel.
But for Marilyn and Bob Trounson... a welcome change from the heat down south.
"We came up from So Cal, said Southern California resident Bob Trounson. " It was hot down there when we left. It's wonderful up here." "You like this" "Oh yeah! It's Great!"
Not enough to ride on yet... but this mornings snow provided a thin blanket at Boreal Resort. Just enough to make die hard skiers salivate at the upcoming season.
For others it was just a day at the beach, albeit snow covered. Jet skis sat idle, boats still on the ball. In hopes that at least one more weekend of sun and warmth awaits them. Not everyone's ready to give up on summer just yet.

The Star Wars Art of Ken KellySeptember 18, 2014 at 12:01 am | Posted in Art, Comic Books, Dark Horse, Star Wars, The Roqoo Depot Galleria | Leave a comment
Tags: ken kelly
There are many Star Wars artists who have contributed to the franchise. From movie posters to concept artists, and of course, comics. One comic artist who caught my attention is Ken Kelly. Ken is reknown for his fantasy paintings. Studying under Frank Frazetta, Ken's style is reminiscent of that same style of painting. Throughout his career, he's done artwork for magazines, book covers, record albums, toy manufacturers, and comics.
For Dark Horse, he did the covers for Star Wars: Republic: Prelude to Rebellion, Outlander, and Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire. With those 18 covers, he left his mark by portraying Ki-Adi-Mundi, Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett and Darth Vader.
To showcase his wonderful artwork, the Roqoo Depot Galleria present the Star Wars art of Ken Kelly. Continue Reading The Star Wars Art of Ken Kelly…

Why isn't there a Thumbs down button to go with the Thumbs up?
doesn't it seem reasonable that sometimes an answer needs a thumbs down? seems like a benefit to consumers to see that someone has X number of thumbs down responses. or to be able to provide one. It wouldn't be any more abused that thumbs up. Seems like there should be both options to me.

It's a long time in coming—Erykah Badu
is finally releasing Amerykah, Part Two (Return of the Ankh)
tomorrow. The album is a followup to the 2008's totally underappreciated
release, New Amerykah, Part One (4th World War). Some of her
best, most unexpected music is on that album. So I'm excited about the
release, to
say the least. (more after the jump)
Alex Chilton, vocalist and founder of Big Star, died last week.
Big Star hardly sold any records during it's brief 3 album stint, but is now recognized as one of the most influential and certainly under appreciated bands of the 1970s. Big Star was crucial in the emergence of alternative and indie rock in the 80's and 90's, and a key influence of pioneering bands like the Bangles and the Replacements.
South by Southwest had a tribute concert for Alex Chilton, which featured almost exclusively male rockers. That's a shame, since Big Star's music has been covered and wonderfully re-arranged by a huge array of musicians.
Here's a broader sampling of Big Star's legacy from BitchTapes...full track list after the fold.

Wilko Johnson: 'Once, I'd have been whizzing – but not now'
He rocks, paints, writes, even acts. So what's up with the former Dr Feelgood writer, wonders Ian Burrell
Ian Burrell
Ian Burrell is Assistant Editor and Media Editor of The Independent.
Sunday 03 June 2012
Like a zoo animal patrolling the perimeter of its cage, Wilko Johnson is padding round and round in circles, having leapt from his leather armchair and vaulted the wooden steps to the raised level of his living room. At the age of 64, he still has nervous energy to burn.
"One habit I've got, which I exercise all the time, is that I pace about. I walk about, see, I go like this ..." he says. "And it's always in an anti-clockwise direction, right? I've even checked this out in Australia, right? And I still go in an anti-clockwise direction, and so I think I must have one leg shorter than the other. I've tried pacing in a clockwise direction but as soon as my mind drifts, oh it's not right."
Wilko – the machine-gunning guitar hero who sent shockwaves of energy through the pretentious 1970s British rock scene and inspired a generation of punks – is demonstrating how he prepares for his inimitable live performances. "So, about half an hour before we go on stage, that starts and I start walking about."
It is 35 years since Wilko's falling out with his bandmates in Dr Feelgood signalled the end of the most intense and creatively rich period of his career, but he is suddenly back in the spotlight. Julien Temple's 2009 documentary Oil City Confidential told Dr Feelgood's story through the prism of the Shell Haven oil refinery that overshadows the band's hometown of Canvey Island. The film, which drew parallels between the mudflats of the "Thames Delta" and the Mississippi swamps of their musical roots, renewed interest in the original Feelgoods (Dr Feelgood still tour, though with none of the original members). EMI has released a box set of classic material and Wilko has produced an autobiography with writer Zoe Howe, Looking Back at Me. He has even popped up in the fantasy TV drama Game of Thrones.
During the summer he will take to the festival circuit with the Wilko Johnson band and, even though a bald pate has replaced the trademark pudding basin haircut, his performance retains the wild gesturing and frantic strumming, a feature he mimics repeatedly in conversation. He still doesn't use a plectrum and his hand bears a recent scar. "I did that somehow on an upstroke – the E-string cut through my thumb."
As ever, he's wearing a black shirt, black trousers and black ankle boots. At the end of the room is a guitar in the Wilko colours of red and black. "It's anarchy you see, the red and black flag of anarchy." On the way into his suburban Essex house I had noticed the anarchy symbol, a circled "A" painted on his garden wall alongside the slogan "Venceremos" ("We shall overcome"). "That's my bourgeois revolutionism, see? I have written my slogans on the wall, but nobody can see them, only me, because I've written them on the inside," he says, with a rapid-fire laugh.
In the classic Wilko pose on stage, his eyes are popping and he is pointing his Fender Telecaster at the audience like a Sten gun, gliding to and fro on the end of his red guitar lead. "The way you were looking at people, you were doing that because that was what people want," he says, making his hand into the shape of a gun. "When you're kids playing cops and robbers you're using your fingers as your gun and you know you are just playing but ... don't it feel like a gun? You really, really do it! And it's exactly the same on stage! It's no machine gun, man, it's a Telecaster!"
The audience understood that and, despite the aggression in songs such as "Riot In Cell Block #9", there was rarely trouble at Feelgood shows. Wilko mentions an exception when the band's late singer Lee Brilleaux jumped into the crowd to confront a man with a knife who had started a brawl. "Lee took the knife off him without interrupting the show – which shows quite a bit of class, I think."
It was a bitter personality clash between Brilleaux – who died of cancer in 1994 at the age of 41 – and Johnson that caused the break up of the original Dr Feelgood in 1977. Wilko now sings lead vocals with his band, and when he speaks of Brilleaux, it is with admiration. He admits to an emotional moment when watching Oil City Confidential, a recollection that makes him twiddle his fingers. "There was this sequence and it was just me and Lee Brilleaux on stage together and suddenly I got this powerful flash and I remembered what it was like to be on stage with him. It was fantastic. I always think that he really was the wellspring of Dr Feelgood."
Wilko was the band's songwriter, coming up with enduring classics such as "Roxette", "She Does it Right" and "Back in the Night". Brilleaux wanted to be like Howlin' Wolf, only in a dirty white suit, and fired up on a few drinks and a Canvey Island attitude. When Wilko wrote, it was with him in mind. "You're upsetting me now," he says, welling up a little.
After the split, Wilko was such a distinctive figure in rock that he had plenty of offers. "I was really hot – you would not believe the people that were pursuing me and offering me I don't know how many millions." But he didn't capitalise on that interest, and although he enjoyed some good times playing with Ian Dury and the Blockheads, his career meandered along "the line of least resistance".
The death of his wife and childhood sweetheart Irene, from cancer eight years ago, hit Wilko hard. The opportunity to gig gives him only partial respite from that sadness, so he looks on his latest successes with a certain detachment. "Once upon a time I would have been whizzing about, really pleased with everything, but now I don't have any hopes or ambitions – that's absurd," he says. "I take a benign and avuncular interest in it."
Looking Back at Me also reveals the myriad cultural touchstones of a working-class rock'n'roller and deeply complex man. Wilko once had ambitions to be a painter and a poet, and the publication of the book is the first time that his artwork has been seen outside his home. On the roof of his house is a dome with a large periscope where he spends hours studying the stars. On the table in front of him are a chess set, a copy of Private Eye and a book on the Aztecs. At university he studied the Icelandic sagas and he still likes to read Anglo Saxon poetry. As an answer to the Anglo Saxon text The Battle of Maldon, which records an ancient Viking victory, Wilko once wrote some verses on the great moment in Canvey history that was the Battle of Benfleet in AD894. "I thought 'This great victory needs a poem, so I will write it in alliterative verse style, pseudo Anglo Saxon'. Christ, how embarrassing."
But Johnson the poet is never far from the conversation. He is a mine of Shakespeare quotes (he was a schoolteacher before he joined Dr Feelgood), and, in his Estuary accent, draws on the Elizabethan Sir Philip Sydney when he talks about the way his fellow band members regard his torments as a song-writer: "They don't see all the 'Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite,/ "Fool," said my muse to me," Look in thy heart and write" ...'."
What next for Wilko Johnson? More acting, perhaps – he played a mute executioner in Game of Thrones and so enjoyed the experience that he would love a belated career as an actor. "I have all this Shakespeare lodged with me and useless ... perhaps I could play Romeo?" he ponders, and judders out his machine-gun laugh.
Wilko Johnson's autobiography 'Looking Back at Me', co-written with Zoe Howe, is published by Cadiz Music tomorrow. He tours the UK from 11 Oct. Tickets: www.thegigcartel.com.

Manchester police pursuit ends in arrest
The incident began about 5 p.m. when Officer Thomas Donovan noticed a blue Chevrolet Impala without a front license plate leaving the area of Pigeon's Market on Wilson Street.
Donovan turned on his blue lights to try and pull over the driver who, police said, sped up and headed south on Wilson Street. The car abruptly turned west onto Somerville Street and then, reaching speeds of 50 mph, sped through several stops signs between Lincoln and Union Streets, before heading north on Union Street.
The chase was called off and police lost sight of the Impala. About 15 minutes later, however, Officer Din Jenkins located the car in the driveway of 165 Taylor St.
The driver, identified by police as Terrance Sleweon, 28, of 493 Maple St., was found in an adjacent yard and briefly struggled with Detective Aaron Brown who attempted to handcuff him, police said.
He was arrested on charges of reckless conduct, a felony; disobeying a police officer; resisting arrest, and driving after license suspension/revocation.
Police said Sleweon also is wanted on a U.S. Marshal warrant on an unrelated charge.
A year ago, Sleweon was arrested on an escape charge after he failed to report to a federal halfway house. He originally was sentenced to two years in federal prison after being convicted of distributing cocaine.
Police said Sleweon was on probation for the drug charge and he had $4,800, which was seized. It was seized because a K-9 hit on traces of drugs on the cash, said Sgt. Brian N. O'Keefe.
At his arraignment Friday morning in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, Sleweon could enter no plea to the felony charge, so a probable cause hearing was set for March 25. Trial on the remaining charges was set for April 10.
Bail was set at $10,000 cash/surety, but there is a no-bail federal detainer on Sleweon in connection with the escape charge.

The Urban League's proposed charter school for youth of color has been at the forefront of the local education conversation in recent weeks. But Madison Prep isn't the only school in town making plans for a launch. Much more quietly, on the second floor of a nondescript west-side office building, another new Madison high school is looking to serve students struggling with dyslexia.
If all goes according to plan, the Wisconsin Institute for Learning Disabilities/Dyslexia Inc. (WILDD), a Madison-based nonprofit that specializes in academic therapy for dyslexic individuals, will open a nontraditional high school next fall. Called the Wisconsin Institute for Learning, or WIL, the private high school will become the first in Wisconsin to offer a curriculum specifically developed for students with reading-based learning disabilities. And with as many as 15% of the American population affected by dyslexia, WILDD executive director Ervin Carpenter feels this is an educational option whose time has come.
"The treatment of dyslexia isn't just about making accommodations," he says. "With proper interventions you can actually remediate it. This high school will be a natural outgrowth of everything we've learned about teaching people with learning disabilities and dyslexia for over 30 years."
For Carpenter and his wife, Kim, the Institute's cofounder, the Wisconsin Institute for Learning is a personal as well as professional calling. Ervin himself was diagnosed with dyslexia in 1982 at the age of 32. And three of their four children, as well as three of their grandchildren, struggle with the disability. This familial experience, coupled with extensive careers as special education teachers in the Dodgeville school system, taught the couple that traditional learning environments often can't meet the needs of dyslexic students. And this realization led them to open WILDD's first independent learning center in Madison in 2005.
The organization has grown significantly since then, including the opening of an additional location in West Allis in 2010. Between the two centers, the institute now employs over 60 people and has assisted over 300 clients, including many veterans. The Carpenters attribute their success to the proprietary multi-sensory teaching program they've developed, based on the Orton-Gillingham method.
"Many children learn to read by generalizing," says Kim. "For example, they will see the word 'cow' spelled out under a photograph of a Holstein in a picture book.... Eventually, when they are developmentally able, these kids will recognize that most other 'ow' words are going to sound the same."
But according to WILDD literature, individuals with dyslexia must approach reading phonetically, focusing first on the structure of language. They learn that letters make sounds, that sounds make words and syllables, and that words make sentences. Students see and write each letter as they say and hear each sound. This is the teaching model that the Carpenters and their staff plan to introduce to WIL's inaugural class of ninth-graders next fall.
"Our class sizes will be small, eight to 10 students at most," says Ervin. "Many of these kids will have felt very isolated in traditional learning environments. Being a poor reader can have a devastating effect on a child's self-esteem. But WIL will allow young adults with dyslexia to learn at their own speed in a group environment." Regularly scheduled one-on-one instructional sessions will take place as well.
Audrey Trainor, associate professor of special education at UW-Madison and an expert on adolescents with learning disabilities, believes there can be academic benefits to attending schools like the Wisconsin Institute for Learning, especially for students at risk of dropping out. But she believes the decision to attend one must be weighed carefully.
"In my research I've spoken to adolescents who don't like the label associated with going to a specialized school for kids with learning disabilities," says Trainor. "They also miss out on the enrichment opportunities a bigger environment can offer, things like playing in the band or participating in sports. Parents need to ask lots of questions regarding the costs, social as well as financial, of making the move."
The new school will be located inside WILDD's current west-side Madison learning center, 6400 Enterprise Lane. Many of the teaching positions will be staffed by the center's current instructors, but it is likely a couple more, who will be trained by the Carpenters, may be added next spring and summer. Applications are currently being accepted for enrollment in the program, and while tuition will be set on an individual basis, it is likely to be on the high side for area private schools due to the one-on-one therapy students will receive.
WIL's instructors will all have four-year college degrees and be certified in WILDD's instructional methods. This certification involves 45 hours of classroom instruction, 100 practicum hours, and 10 hours of mentorship in addition to continuing education and professional development coursework.
"Our teachers aren't just extremely well trained," says Kim Carpenter, "but also passionate about helping students overcome their difficulties to become independent learners."
The school plans to add a new class of freshmen each academic year until it reaches full capacity. A full academic curriculum that adheres to Wisconsin state standards and Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction curriculum guidelines is in the works. But WIL staff will try to be creative in how certain requirements are met.
"For physical education, for instance," says Kim, "we'll try to offer tai chi or yoga. We believe these kinds of centering activities can have a profoundly positive effect on kids' attention."
"The ultimate goal is for our high school program to act as a catalyst to overcome learning differences," says Ervin Carpenter. "We want our students to move on to post-secondary educational opportunities."

If there is an excuse for not working out and eating healthy, I have used it: I don't have time. I'm too tired. I'll start tomorrow. I'm no good at this, I give up. I don't know where to start. Yes, I have used all of these and more.
At almost a year old, my kids are in the blissful stage of life where they'll eat nearly anything that I put in front of them (at least as long as it doesn't require much in the way of molar action).
My family recently went through something that we have not experienced in over eight years. We have become a household that no longer harbors a crib or a changing table.
"There really is no wrong way to do it." That's how Madeline, age 13, describes creating artwork. She and her classmates at Prairie View Middle School in Sun Prairie are honing their artistic skills by participating in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art's Art on Tour program.
I'm having trouble enjoying the season, because I can't keep myself from thinking about the miserable weather that's sure to be following close on the heels of the crisp, pleasant fall we've been having. I am not at all emotionally prepared to be the parent of two toddlers during a Wisconsin winter.
I've always been a supporter of companies that empower women and girls, and when the creator of such a company is a fellow Wisconsinite, I get even more excited. When Melissa Wardy of Janesville got fed up with stereotypes found in clothing for girls, she started her own company.
Do you have a little reader or an aspiring teenaged writer in your house? If so, you may want to venture to the Wisconsin Book Festival this weekend, to whet their appetite for wonderful words as well as your own.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, my husband and I had two names picked out. Upon her arrival we had not yet come to a conclusion on what that name would be. Everyone told us that when we saw her we would just know. We didn't.
At age 10 months, my kids have seen the zoo a lot already. I was a zoology major in college, and I have something of a zoo addiction still, so the twins (and their dad) are more or less condemned to a future rife with zoo visits.
Home-schooling can be a lonely proposition. Even as a college professor, Juliana Hunt remembers struggling to find support to home-school her now-grown daughter. "I was always hoping to find like-minded people who were in the same position as me," she says. "I know that children learn best through a give-and-take, question-and-answer process of teaching and learning, but where do you find mentors who can make that happen?"
After sleep patterns, I think the next biggest parenting concern I have and hear about revolves around the topic of food. How can I make sure my kids are eating enough vegetables? Did I pack them a lunch that is healthy enough? What can I feed them after school that doesn't come from a box? How many gripes am I going to get about the dinner I'm about to prepare?
As far as places to embark on Baby's First Air Travel go, Dane County Regional Airport is a pretty sound choice, especially at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. My biggest fear was that my nine-month-old son would start screaming in the airport; my second biggest fear was that my son would start screaming and some of my former Epic colleagues would be around to hear it.
The recent shift in the weather is just another sign that autumn is fast approaching. That means one of my favorite activities is just around the corner -- apple picking. My husband and I have been picking apples every fall since before our kids were born.
I have a lot of questions about what to put on my eight-month-olds' plates -- and, if I'm honest, a deep and abiding fear of putting the wrong thing there. Did I start them on solid foods at the right time? What's the deal with baby-led weaning -- how much self-feeding should they be doing? At what age should I give them potential allergens like shellfish or nut products?
Lily the potbellied pig arrived at Heartland Farm Sanctuary blind, lethargic and too overweight to walk. The children of Heartland's summer day camp program took it upon themselves to put the curl back in her tail.
Is it just me or does each summer seem to go by quicker than the last? The end of summer is upon us and for many families this means the start of a new school year.
This past week, on the way to the grocery store, my daughter asked what I believed she thought would be a innocuous question, "Mom, when are we going back-to-school shopping?"
Volunteering with the Young Writers Summer Camp this past week really helped me to remember how utterly creative kids can be when encouraged to come up with their own ideas and use their own words.
This past week I gleefully accepted an offer for new job on the UW-Madison campus. My kids are getting are older and I guess I've felt for a while now that it was time to figure out what would be next for me on the professional front.
"Kids spend so much time in and around school, it's the only place where some have a chance to develop an appreciation for a healthy lifestyle," says Katie Hensel, founder and executive director of Tri 4 Schools.

Q&A: Paying for the phone in their pocket
Anyone carrying a cell phone for the practice deserves to be compensated, says Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member Dr. Karl Salzsieder, JD, owner of Salzsieder Consulting and Legal Services in Longview, Wash. There are a few ways you could do this. You could pay them $5 to $10 per day for carrying the phone, or you could pay them a bonus for every hour they work when called in. This might mean paying them a minimum of two or four hours, even if they're only needed for one hour.
Another approach is to pay on-call technicians time-and-a-half when they're called in, though this is not required by law. "Labor budget control is very important these days," Dr. Salzsieder says. "But I like the idea of giving them some benefit for carrying the phone and being on call."

Coach Danny Hope wasn't on the Big Ten teleconference. His replacement, co-defensive coordinator Donn Landolm, didn't offer any specifics on Marve.
"Most of us were out (Monday) on the recruiting trail, and we're scheduled to have a meeting later this afternoon as we have practice and find out," Landholm said about 1:15 p.m. "We do think it's serious and as soon as we know something, obviously, we'll release it. We're waiting on the results of the MRI as well."
Hope is supposed to be available for interviews after the team's practice at about 6 p.m.

Frommer&s Japan says to allow at least 3 hours to see Meiji Mura; I think four hours is more realistic. It was definitely a worthwhile excursion!

Sat next to a guy on the ltd express to Nagoya and he noticed how wet I was and asked "Suzuka"? We laughed a little and tried to have a conversation.

To me, this was the best one yet. Not as big as the ones we had seen before and had enough going on in terms of videos and demonstrations. We could experience going on the new MagLev train on a simulator at 500 Km/h. The wheels retract after a few seconds ...

Philippine court suspends birth control law
MANILA, March 19, 2013 – The Philippines' highest court suspended on Tuesday a controversial birth control law that had met fierce opposition from the powerful Catholic Church.
Voting 10-5, the Supreme Court issued a four-month freeze against the law, which requires government health centres to hand out free condoms and schools to teach sex education, court spokesman Theodore Te said.
The order "stops implementation of the reproductive health law for 120 days," Te said, after a closed door session of the justices.
Te did not comment on the merits of the case, saying only the court had issued the suspension to allow petitioners against the law time to present their oral arguments on June 18.
President Benigno Aquino's office said the government respected the high court's order, but stressed it was optimistic the Supreme Court would eventually ratify the law.
"We will observe the… resolution issued by the Supreme Court and we are confident that the government will be able to defend the merits of the Responsible Parenthood Law," Aquino's spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, told reporters.
The Catholic Church and pro-life groups were however quick to welcome the decision, saying they interpreted the court's decision as backing the merits of their argument.
"We deem it as a victory, but not a final victory yet," Eric Manalang, president of Pro-Life Philippines, told AFP, describing the law as "evil".
After more than a decade of opposition by the influential Catholic Church, legislators passed the measure late last year and it formally took effect in January.
Church-backed religious groups had lodged at least six petitions with the Supreme Court seeking to overturn the law, arguing it was immoral and openly promoted promiscuity by mandating sex education be taught in schools.
The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has since called for a "morality vote" in the May mid-term elections against legislators who voted for the passage of the law.
More than 80 percent of the country's 100 million population are Catholics, making it Asia's bulwark of the faith.

Hello Rain, I watch the swifts as the midges rise off the fields they feed well around here.We had sea fret which cleared early then the sun dried everything up so two lawns got cut, too late for the green waste though.I have my feet up now, the casserole is in the oven with potato's on top a one dish meal ready in an hour or so so a laze after a busy day.
Hello Chris, foot has been OK for a while and even the knee is bearing up, I would think all those years of being very active are the main cause, self inflicted wounds as we called them in the army. Many top athletes end up with some form of arthritis as with all things you go with it.Started the big clean up Pam will be back from Cyprus late Saturday night and you bet she will be round here on her broomstick to check on me. She may want lunch Sunday and I have not been to my local butchers yet. Tonight is chicken casserole and my trick is to add chorizo when frying it off, it adds that spicy touch to the leeks and celery.Weather still a constant drizzle no heavy rain as predicted, the green waste have collected all my bags, not much left of the Autumn clean up apart from the lawns.
Anything that has bolted is past its best, leeks need to be firm inside so any softness means past it to me. I use leeks in all the cooking and often braise them in stock for one of the veg dishes.In the North East of England where I live, leek growing becomes a thing of mystery even best mates will not tell each other how they grow them. Wives become leek widows as husbands sleep with their leeks, the shows gave good money and prizes for the biggest leeks, I think it is losing its appeal these days and I much prefer the small leeks for a better taste.Still we got plenty of leek and bacon puddings during the season as the weaklings were weeded out and only the best left to mature.
Alfy was tapping on my bedroom door at seven wanting his breakfast then to go out, he ran up the garden sniffed around realised it was a sea fret, wet and cold, so rushed back in, well head first into a towel to dry off, he thinks that one big game.He watched from the kitchen as I put out all the green waste bags and the bins, one wetting was enough for him.The box says heavy rain for Stockton but this is North Sea weather, grey cloud although high and the sea fret that can wet you through although seemingly light, so the lawns did not get cut.
Hello Adam I have the picture now and see you would want a rounded tree with some colour and blossom, not too fussy about its position.Malus or crab apple are low growing well rounded with a little judicious pruning and come in many leaf colours. Many come well grown in containers and vary in growth so as I am not up with some of the more modern names it would be best to google Malus.Prunus flowering cherry come in many colours have rounded tops and some are quite low growing.Acer or Maple come in small medium and large so you would need check that out with the nursery.Or my choice was a small Conifer, I too live in a bungalow but not overlooked.Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Lanei a golden fir and slow growing which can be topped trimmed and kept in shape as required, it glows in sunlight, my other is a dark green Conifer Chamaecyparis Green pillar which sets of the gold beautifullyThose are some I have grown and know they do root well and creep so near a wall you may need to put down a couple of slabs to divert the roots, though it will take years for them to cause damage. I dug down a few years ago and cropped the roots on the wall side it has worked.Check out the container grown trees and ask questions about size and pruning, they will have them at various stages of growth obviously the bigger the more they cost, the nursery will have re-potted them over several years, the smaller ones will do the job in time, you have the choice.good luck.
Adam, How big is your garden? You do realise trees put out roots a long way underground and can undermine walls etc, also trees do not grow to a set height then stop they also spread as well as grow up. They will also suck your garden dry of water so nothing much will grow in their area. If we are talking a large field and not a normal sized garden then it is possible.How much privacy are we talking about and could it be done in a much easier way say a canopy or summer house? A slightly raised fence near the house?Right, Carpinus or Hornbeam can grow to 80 feet high and 70 feet spread, they need sun well drained soil and spread winged seeds all over.Crataegus or Hawthorn are the hedge rows you see on country roads, it can grow 25 feet high and spread even more. White flowers in may loses its leaves in Autumn.Magnolia a lovely shrub slow growing and often used on walls can grow to in time to 15 feet and spread the same, frost can damage the early blooms.Sorbus grow to 20 feet with a spread of 15 feet produce white flowers in spring and berries in Autumn.Ligustrum is for hedging and can grow to 6-10 feet high with 6 feet spread.Pyrus is a pear tree and can be contained with pruning it is deciduous, (loses its leaves in winter but you will get fruit in time.I am not trying to rain on your parade but a tree is for life and if not contained can cause damage or problems with shade in a neighbours garden, they do move on and problems do arise with new neighbours. That is the reason I ask apart from most normal gardens will only have room for one or two trees, hedges need a lot of care and maintenance and roots from time to time need to be cropped if near property.Hope this will help.
Rhubarb crowns (bought) go into a well prepared bed in March and any flowers taken off then, you are looking to the following year for the stems.From seed they will take a lot longer to harvest stems and I would put them in now.We used plenty of manure or good compost and bone meal as well, they are hungry plants. A bit of shelter is good say near a wall or fence, they want to be around three feet apart.We had long rows of the plants so forced some each year by putting straw round the crown and a bucket over the top, it was usually the first garden fruit we had hence the many rhubarb recipes and the annual glut of rhubarb and custard with school meals, I loved it a lot did not.
Dmball, the compost heap will be up to ten degrees warmer at the surface than the surrounding air, try a melon on it next year, we had success doing that.The person manning the box got on their feet and looked out of the window, sunny and clear it says sunny and clear it is. A slightly cool breeze coming in the window although no sign of the frost forecast this morning.Alfy laid out after his walk and breakfast but will be up and ready as soon as I get the car keys, he thinks he is King of the Road.
In one of my books it tells me your area is four weeks ahead of us for planting most things so it will go for the let down too. We do seem to be running into Autumn much quicker this year, I can usually only grow small bush Tomato's outside in a very sheltered and sunny spot, they were over before the end of August and not much of a crop. The green house Tomato's were about half the normal yield at least I had no disease. Peppers were shrivelled and other things slow so as we gardeners do I got what I could and made plans for next year.Tonight the weather forecast says some frost possible, being near the coast that will probably not be us but again it is early.
Lucky you posh, I hung the washing out under clear blue sky jumped in the car down the back lane and crash, wipers on fast as down it came, too late to go back.Back to perfect weather and clothes sodden, back in the spin and out again but now in airing cupboard still damp. Any one looking into my car would wonder why it was full of blue air?Got rid of the Crocosmia that had run rampant yesterday and found plants I did not know I had, the bushes, that is the none winter flowering ones got a hair cut and the lawns will get one tomorrow or Thursday.The green house is now clear as the few tomato's left would not ripen on the vine but will still be used. Time for those bulbs to go in and now plenty of room for them.
