|I have seeds for these 3 species and was thinking of sprinkling them onto the mulch of a no dig garden patch...the patch will be created this fall. A helpful person in another garden web forum told me I should wait 'til spring to sow the seeds but she suggested I come to this forum for confirmation. Could someone give me the pros/cons of sowing the seeds this fall vs next spring? If you have experience w/sowing and germinating these seeds...what was your method? I am trying to avoid having to grow the plants indoors then transplanting because I will not be home to take care of the plants over the winter AND I simply haven't the space.

|Thanks so much for the help, silverkelt. Your flowers are so beautiful! I will give winter sowing a go this winter...I just have to overcome my phobia of killing everything while trying to transplant in the spring. I have grown seedlings indoors over the winter in the past but I usually kill 'em all w/my clumsy transplanting techniques :(
I am in the process of creating a no-dig "patch". My land is very rough and I do not plan to do much in the way of landscaping. I live in a forested area, w/disturbed weedy patches of invasives. These are the patches I'm working on...I had just planned to throw seeds on top of the cardboard and mulch layers but after reading your post I will be putting out winter sown seedlings instead!

|Wintersowing seedlings are much hardier then their indoor cousins and do not nearly suffer the transplant shocks.
My area is all converted woodlands, Ive cut down over 300 trees now and have hauled in about 40 truckloads of compost and horse manure.
Below start of the creation of the gardens..
What it looks like today
and this...
Start of one of my seedling beds.. 3 years ago..
today ..
Every year I get a # of compost and manure loads for the trucks.. without it the gardens are pretty worthless..
Some of my many woodpiles.. these are easy part.. its the darn brush thats hard..
Some wintersown containers hanging out.. to be transported outside..
|Very nice silverkelt! I have read through Trudi's FAQ's and I have a question for you. I will probably use gal. containers similar to yours in the last picture. How many seeds (approx) would you sow per container...seeds the size of asclepias, chelone, lobelia etc.?
- Posted by silverkelt Z5b/Southern Maine (My Page) on Wed, Aug 8, 12 at 15:27
|25-50 seeds if they are smaller, I really oversow each container. I use the plunk method and also plant very close together, I prefer tighter looking gardens.
Lasagna gardening (layering effect) works as well, many people do that here, Ive done it on the past, start on it now and you will have garden beds in the spring.
Depenending on your sight, you may still want to take some trees down though, if you can. Trees are my worst weeds I tell my wife... well that and ferns, darn ferns.
|Plunk method? That sounds like something I could handle what exactly is that? I am starting my lasagna-type patch this fall BUT we moved here (Appalachian mts VA) to be in the forest. We have paw paw patches, hickories, redbuds, tulip poplars and spicebushes everywhere! I am in heaven! What I am trying to do is replace some weedy disturbed areas w/native flowers. There are millions of butterfies going for the bull thistle...I'd like to give them something else to think about :)
- Posted by silverkelt Z5b/Southern Maine (My Page) on Thu, Aug 9, 12 at 5:35
|Instead of seperating seedlings one by one, you take chunks and plant them in a small area, the hardiest will survive or you can remove the week ones, it forms clumps of flowers that way..
examples of plunking...
Rondo Penstemon
and Lupine Tutti Frutti, I DIDNT even break the clump on these, just plunked it into the ground..
Some of my butterfly magnets here.. Coerpsis Mayfield Giant..
Knautia Melton Pastels..
Of course they love other things too, but these always seems to attract things when they are in bloom. Lobelia is great as its a later bloom.
|Love those butterflies! We actually got a monarch yesterday...just one though...most of them are swallowtails around here. How long does it take to get blooms after you plant your seedlings out? A couple of years?
A thought I had about your lobelia...seems that most of your flowers are ornamental...i.e. horticultural varieties able to w/stand full sun. However, the lobelia is a native woodland plant and even though most sources will say moderate to full sun I bet it would prefer patchy shade and LOTS of water?

|Adidas, I too had reservations about wintersowing, had absolutely zero success transplanting seedlings started inside but decided to try after haunting this site last winter. I can tell you from experience the wintersown seedlings transplanted better than any local nursery or mail order seedlings--I've even had a couple of perenials bloom from transplants from this spring. I will certainly be doing it again this winter, created several new beds already in preparation.
Silverkelt, your garden looks amazing. That's an enormous change in only 3 years, inspiring!

| Lizin,
Thanks so much for your input! So you wintersowed, transplanted in spring and had flowers the same summer? Wow! That would be incredible! What plants did you grow?
I am working on a lasagna garden...I've got plenty of "carbon" material but I am nitrogen deficient :( Now I'm crossing my fingers that the deer and bears don't smell the rotten fruit/veggies and walk across the paper! YIKES!
|Love the bumble bee in your penstamon pic!

|Sorry, I've been working 12 hours shifts and haven't been back on in a while! The ones that flowered this year were anise hyssop, laceleaf coreopsis and Rocky Mountain penstemon. I wintersowed several types of penstemon, bellflowers, agastache, rose campion and hardy hibiscus; all of which are doing incredibly better than the ones I mail-ordered but haven't bloomed yet. I've been collecting containers all summer; I'm so ready to get started on a much bigger variety this winter!
|Silverkelt, your work turning woodlands into flower beds is awesome in that I hold you in awe for all that you have done and your resulting lovely flowers. Wish I had your energy, I seem to be running out of energy these days. I am starting a new lasagna bed this fall and have one ready to plant that was started last fall. The ideas and the intention are there, now to get them done.
I have cardinal flower in full sun in a very dry bed next to my mailbox. (My hose doesn't quite reach that far). It flowers better there than in an area in shade with moist soil.
|Silverkelt your daylily seedlings are beautiful!! I can only hope the seedlings I've sown this year and last will be so nice. I've gotten seeds from a SASBE and also from the Lily Auction, and none of them have bloomed yet, not even last year's seedlings, due to limited sun.
Adidas, I have wintersown Lobelia cardinalis and many species of Asclepias - as I have a certified Monarch Waystation and raise Monarch butterflies each year. In fact, I am just winding down from a very busy Monarch season, and coming back to the forums to check out what's going on.
Winter sowing works well for both, although most of my Lobelia cardinalis seedlings sow themselves out in the garden paths and in bare spots. I transplant them to a new spot, and a new patch is started!
Asclepias is a fussy genus - but winter- or spring-sowing works well. They will also reseed sometimes. In my experience they don't need much cold stratification, and the seedlings are easy to transplant. After that, I have mixed success! Asclepias curassavica ends up being the best and prettiest winter-sown species - and it makes a great host plant for the Monarchs.

UW-Eau Claire Safety Campaign
Focuses on Child Passengers
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: August 25, 1998
EAU CLAIRE The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Office of Public Safety is among the Wisconsin law enforcement agencies participating in an August safety campaign.
As many as 175,000 infants across the country are improperly restrained while riding in vehicles, putting them at serious risk of injury or death, according to a recent study by the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign. To help curb this deadly practice, UW-Eau Claire has joined with 79 other law enforcement agencies in a statewide Safe and Sober Campaign focusing law enforcement efforts on child passenger safety.
"Infants should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger air bag," said David Backstrom, director of Public Safety. "Air bags are currently designed to protect only adults and deploy with a force that can be extremely dangerous and sometimes deadly for children."
Some 11 percent of parents who own vehicles with passenger side air bags continue to place their babies directly in front of the air bag, said John Evans, director of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Safety.
"It is imperative we take extra precaution to make sure child passengers are not only properly buckled up but seated away from air bags and out of harm's way," Evans said.
Campaign Safe and Sober is a federally funded traffic safety program that involves law enforcement agencies across the state. Evans said his agency provides the program funding, which local agencies may use at their own discretion as long as the program's focus is identified traffic safety problems.
For additional information, call Backstrom at (715) 836-2222.

Restore the Promise of Equal Pay for Equal Work, says Rep. George Miller
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), the senior Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee, issued the following statement today on Equal Pay Day. Each year, National Equal Pay Day reflects how far into the current year women must work to match what men earned in the previous year. Today, the typical American woman working full time is paid only 77 cents for every dollar paid to her male counterpart, according to U.S. Census data. This earnings gap translates to $11,084 in less pay per year for women.

Our Grand Despair at the UWM's Turkish Film Series.
#5: Turkish Film Series at UW-Milwaukee's Union Theatre.
Why? Because Turkey is turning out some of the most interesting and acclaimed films of recent years, with several awards and nominations at international festivals to their credit—if you haven't yet seen 2011's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, that should seal the deal. This weekend-long festival includes a new documentary by one of the leading lights of Turkish cinema, Fatih Akin (Polluting Paradise) and Our Grand Despair, the last film by the acclaimed young director Seyfi Teoman, who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in May. All screenings are free.
#4: Theresa Caputo at the Riverside Theatre.
Why? Because we couldn't resisthttp: a shout out to TLC's Long Island Medium. For it is certainly serendipitous that she appears shortly after the Hurricane Sandy altered her native landscape. Or is it??!! Judging from the two nearly sold out Riverside shows, folks are eager to glimpse the future through Theresa's clairvoyant eyes. And she'll certainly talk about that "funny feeling" she got a few months ago when she was looking out into the Atlantic: "Oh my Gawwdd. I think something is going to happen."
#3: The Klezmatics at UW-Milwaukee's Zelazo Center.
Why? Oy! Need you ask? This New York-based sextet has been bringing Klezmer music to the masses for over 25 years. And in the process, it has blended the music's singular sound with everything from jazz to funk to the heartland folk of Woody Guthrie (the 2006 Guthrie album, Wonder Wheel, won the Grammy for Contemporary World Music). The group's recordings are celebrated, its imagination is wide-ranging, but there is nothing like a Klezmatics concert, which will certainly have the usually reserved audiences at the Zelazo Center dancing the Hora in the aisles. One of UW-Milwaukee's Peck School's "Year of the Arts" events that celebrates the school's 50th anniversary.
#2: Day of the Dead Celebration at Latino Arts.
Why? Because El Dia de Muertos is upon us. And if your recent Halloween was all about Kit Kat Bars and slutty nurse costumes, you might extend your celebration into traditions that reflect on the bridge between this life and the next with a little more gravitas. Latino Arts gives you two ways to do it. The Mexican folk band, A Flor de Piel, led by multi-Grammy nominee Renato Cerón plays a concert of traditional music from Cuba, Mexica, Puerto Rico and elsewhere on Friday night. And before the concert, stroll down the hall to the opening of Latino Arts' annual exhibit of Ofrendas, altars constructed to commemorate those who have recently died.
#1: Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra at the Marcus Center.
Why? Because the young British conductor Michael Francis has been making a habit of around the world of "filling in" for conductors who didn't show up. In recent months, he's stepped in for Valery Gergiev, John Adams, Andre Previn and Jeffrey Kahane. But this show is all his own, a program that features Cesar Franck's late Romantic symphony, and Hindemith's more modern symphony Mathis der Maler. It's also a chance to hear one of the MSO's most talented soloists, Todd Levy playing the sunny bright Clarinet Concerto of Carl Maria von Weber.

Samuel L. Jackson Covers Taylor Swift
I am super fan of Samuel L. Jackson! Especially after recently seeing "Django Unchained". During a radio interview about the movie, Mr. Jackson was asked if he could do his interpretation of the smash hit "We Are Never Getting Back Together" from the very relationship challenged Taylor Swift. Being the hilarious guy that he is he definitely did the song in true Samuel L. Jackson fashion. Complete with the signature "'I'm sick of this sh*%t" phrase.
This got me thinking though. What other hit songs would be awesome for a Samuel L. Jackson: Sings The Hits compilation album and these would be my picks:
Alex Clare – Too Close (lyrics are perfect)
Alicia Keys – Girl On Fire (just think it'd be funny to hear him scream "This girl is on fire!"
Hunter Hayes – Wanted (I can hear him saying "I just wanna make you feel wanted DAMMIT! LET ME MUTHAF%&KIN MAKE YOU FEEL WANTED!"
And it wouldn't be complete without Will.I.Am -Scream and Shout:
What songs would you add to the list?

Definitions for malapropismˈmæl ə prɒpˌɪz əm
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word malapropism
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
mal•a•prop•ismˈmæl ə prɒpˌɪz əm(n.)
a confused use of words in which an appropriate word is replaced by one with similar sound but ludicrously inappropriate meaning.
Category: Literature
an instance of this, as in "Lead the way and we'll precede."
Category: Literature
Origin of malapropism:
1840–50; after Mrs. Malaprop, a character in Sheridan's The Rivals (1775)
Princeton's WordNet
malapropism, malaprop(noun)
the unintentional misuse of a word by confusion with one that sounds similar
The blundering use of an absurdly inappropriate word or expression in place of a similar sounding one.
An instance of this; malaprop.
Origin: From the name of Mrs. Malaprop, a character in the play The Rivals (1775) by Richard Brinsley Sheridan + -ism. As dramatic characters in English comic plays of this time often had allusive names, it is likely that Sheridan fashioned the name from malapropos. Mrs. Malaprop is perhaps the best-known example of a familiar comedic character archetype who unintentionally substitutes inappropriate but like-sounding words that take on a ludicrous meaning when used incorrectly.
Webster Dictionary
a grotesque misuse of a word; a word so used
A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in a nonsensical, often humorous utterance. An example is Yogi Berra's statement: "Texas has a lot of electrical votes," rather than "electoral votes". The word malapropism comes ultimately from the French mal à propos meaning "inappropriate" via "Mrs. Malaprop", a character in the Richard Brinsley Sheridan comedy The Rivals as who habitually misused her words. Dogberryism comes from "Officer Dogberry", the name of a character in William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. These are the two best-known fictional characters who made this kind of error—there are many other examples. Malapropisms also occur as errors in natural speech. Malapropisms are often the subject of media attention, especially when made by politicians or other prominent individuals. The philosopher Donald Davidson has noted that malapropisms show how complex the process is by which the brain translates thoughts into language.

Last Week
Last week I had a story to tell. I knew who I was and I couldn't wait to get it down. Last week I was going to tell you that on March 13, 1998 I took 95 aspirin and lay down to die. I grew up with severe depression, but when I attempted to take my life, I found my purpose. I spent eight days at the hospital and realized I could make a difference. Old ladies that wouldn't get dressed, would, after I talked to them. It seems minor, but the seed of helping people in my future was planted in my mind.
Last week, I thought that's where it began. After my suicide attempt people came into my life and turned me around. They taught me how to love my life. So in 2008, when I found myself miserable, I knew I could change it. I quit my job, went to Africa, and began a new path. I started a fair-trade company with a friend, and began a non-profit to inspire, educate and empower women around the world. Last week, I was on the right path. I knew where I was going and I was excited about my future and the future of others whose lives I would touch.
This week, someone stole that from me.
In November 2009 I got an email from a friend in Manitoba, Canada, telling me he had colon cancer and was moving to my area to be close to better hospitals. I invited him to stay in my home. In March, he moved in and we became close friends. It was nice to come home and have someone to talk to. I was no longer an isolated single mother. I had an amazing friend who bent over backwards for me all the time.
This week I got a call that he'd been hit by a truck. I went to the hospital with his friend and that's when my life was turned upside down. As we talked the web of lies he'd been feeding us began to unravel. For two years, he's been stalking me. He did not have cancer. He never had a fiancé and daughter that were killed in an accident. His house did not burn down. The police tell us that they think he was preparing to molest our daughters. They are now considering him a person of interest in my cousin's death. He has warrants out for his arrest. I had this monster in my home.
This week I don't recognize myself. I don't want to help or trust anyone ever again. I look around at my friends and I don't know who any of them are. I see his face everywhere. I can't stop shaking. I'm watching myself build a wall around me and I can't stop it. All I can do is use my voice and share my story, even as I'm lost in the turmoil of this disaster. He can't take my voice from me.
Hi there - wow, I am so sorry
Hi there - wow, I am so sorry to hear this but it takes courage to put it down here for us to read. Thank you for sharing and please don't build that wall up around you. Please don't cut yourself off from wanting to help people...
'Harlem: A Dream Deferred' - Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?

Keep soaring
Hi. I am sad about your story but am also inspired at how you are making a difference in the lives of others through the fair trade company. Take courage and be strong. I believe there are more people who are true. And you are so right, no one can take your voice from you . Keep soaring friend ...
Your Voices is Strong
Dear Valerie,
Despite the horror of your story, your voices comes through strong and clear. You may feel like the world is spinning out of control, as would anyone in your situation, but you sound dedicated to making yourself heard.
Your willingness to help others might sometimes be taken advantage of and I am so sorry to hear about your experience with this person, but I am heartened to see you writing about it here. Don't forget that you do bring joy to yourself and others when you extend a helping hand. This person should not ruin that for you, although I am sure it shakes you to your core.
Sending you thoughts of strength!
"In every human heart there are a few passions that last a lifetime. They're with us from the moment we're born, and nothing can dilute their intensity." Rob Brezny
I'm almost speechless after reading you post, however, I have this faith that you will stand up again for good and to help those who really desperately need your help, if 95 aspirin can't take your true purpose of life from you, one person can definitely not! Shine out!
I too don't know what to
I too don't know what to say...
Hi Laugh! Monsters are everywhere ... and the sad fact is that they can look like angels. They thrive on our weaknesses and feed on our pains and desires. But you see, they can't succeed. Monsters are there because when they fall they become your stepboards for a stronger leap. We don't get bruised unless we need it. At one point in our lives, we all go through a very shattering experience - but that's all it is, experience. Life is much much bigger.... as you may have realized right now....
Emie Zozobrado
That's an amazing story.
That's an amazing story. There are some really terrible people out there, and unfortunately you had the goodness to allow one of them to enter your home. I can only imagine how scared you feel at the moment, and it's normal that you have lost some of your faith in people. I have read some of your posts and you are a fighter. I am sure that in time you will find the wall you have put around yourself getting shorter and shorter, and you will find the goodness in people again. It is just too bad that your fear might cloud their goodness. Be strong and let people back in your life when you are ready. There are many many wonderful people in this world also who have a lot of great things to offer.
I fell your pain more than I could express in words. I understand you more than I wish I did.
You are all powerful. You must be now. For your daughter, you MUST stay alive, let down the walls, dream freely and BIG, and let her see your tears so she can know your joy when they pass. She will learn the largest lessons in her life, from you and how you deal with these experiences. If you continue to build this wall she will hide behind it for her lifetime too.
Do whatever you have to, dig as deeply as you must, to find the bravest part of you and blow that out of your heart for all to see. That bravery will feed itself and you and your lovely child... and you will repel those men as they are COWARDS looking for the weakest. They will know you are a mother, a protector, a lover and, if need be, a killer of man who would kill your child.
You will be the greatest when you are the bravest...
I dont know you... but i love you.
Be good to you.
Thank you for Sharing
This is a powerful story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I hope that through sharing on this forum it has made you stronger. I hope that as you read the feedback you will find your purpose again. In life there will always be adversity, deception and evil. There is a saying that these things are in our life to make us stronger.
I hope that as you reflect on the events in your life you will go back to that place when you found your purpose and you will be strenghtened to continue doing the great work you were doing.
The great Chinese philosopher Confuscius once said: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall". I was moved by your story and as you meet other people and share with them they will be inspired by your strength and courage.
I send you positive vibrations and wish for you only the best. Be Strong. Thank you.

What strength!
Hi laughterlove,
I'm so sorry this happened to you - it sounds so intrusive, terrifying, and unsettling. I understand why everything looks strange and you want to withdraw. But look at what you have done instead! You have told your story eloquently and gotten support from a lot of caring women. I hope that is taking at least a little of your pain and confusion away. For the rest of us it is a clear demonstration of how important it is not to be isolated with terrible stories. Thank you.
Thank you for such fierce honesty
It was moving and overwhelming to read the progression of your story. I was so touched by your honesty and willingness to lay it all on the line - everything you were/are feeling. Because, as you said, that is how your voice is never taken. My thoughts and support are with you.

A Scary New Web Paradigm for B-to-B
Advertisers want to be the only voice.
Anyone who has worked in b-to-b publishing during the last decade could surely be forgiven for thinking that they have—without a doubt—lived through the most disruptive period our industry has ever seen.
But while the arrival of the Internet, and the need to migrate traditional print publishing models to online businesses, is certainly a non-trivial and ongoing battle, I am afraid I'm the bearer of bad news: The shift from print to Web is not going to be nearly as disruptive or potentially damaging as the next big mega-trend just beginning to hit b-to-b publishing (no, it's not Twitter).Â
I'm talking about the rapidly growing movement for major advertisers (kingmaker accounts with seven- and eight-figure marketing budgets) to build their own sites and stock them with quasi authoritative information rather than placing ads with the "traditional" sites run by independent publishers to cover vertical industries.
Deep Pockets, Rich Content
This is a logical extension of the blogging phenomenon that took off like a kitten taped to a rocket in 2004. The big difference is that blogging was a grassroots, consumer-driven trend—part of the new "information entitlement," where regular folks not only felt entitled to their opinions, but also to self-publish for free to the entire universe. And of course, the value of most consumer blogs is figuratively and literally zero.
In contrast, when mega-corps like Pfizer and Microsoft start self-publishing, we're talking about big business, big buckets of content, and big bucks. Early examples are popping up with increasing frequency: In the pharmaceuticals industry, check out Merck's univadis.com (which cost more than $100 million, according to industry scuttlebutt); in automotive look at thefordstory.com; in the communications visit blogs.sun.com/jonathan—a blog by Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz; or in energy/greentech look at PG&E's next100.com or GE's ge.ecomagination.com.
Why are advertisers increasingly unwilling to do what they've done in the past and pay good money to run their ads in rotation with those of their competitors on third-party sites? Face it: Running advertisements next to those of your competitors in print was counter-intuitive to winning over customers. But that was the way it worked (blame Gutenberg). Carrying over that same model to the Web makes no sense at all.
Advertisers don't just want "share of voice"; when it comes to their core messaging (and customer reach) they want to be the only voice—and the Web provides them with the freedom to put up their own exclusive sites.
A Golden Opportunity for Publishers
Until recently most advertisers have had two choices when it comes to self-publishing: They can do it in house (Pros: relatively cheap. Cons: acts as a distraction to core business and results in a site stocked with rubbish content); or they can hire an agency to do it for them (Pros: less distracting, better looking. Cons: costs a fortune).
But now door number three has appeared, as incumbent publishers begin to offer the requisite suite of marketing services to help advertisers build their sites. And these publishers have one HUGE unique selling point over the agencies and the advertisers themselves: They are still the only ones who can provide the independent, authoritative analysis that gives self-published sites credibility and keeps Web users coming back.
One of my clients, United Business Media, has grown its marketing services business from 5 percent of its annual revenues 10 years ago to 25 percent today. My guess is that the percentage will be over 50 within a few years. Money will come from products like internetevolution.com—an experimental b-to-b social network supported exclusively by IBM.
For b-to-b publishers, this self-publishing trend could represent a potential gold mine (two, in fact, since it allows them to tap both advertising and corporate marketing budgets with their clients)—but only if they are prepared to continue investing in generating proprietary content, and learn the new skill set required to offer fully integrated marketing services. For those that are not, it's the end of the information superhighway.

One of the most important aspects of your bo's performance will be the finish. The finish is basically how the wood feels when you slide your hands along the surface. A finish that fits your style will allow you to manipulate the weapon with ease, while an unsatisfactory finish will leave you frustrated.
The funny thing about finish is that it boils down to a matter of taste. There are right and wrong ways to go about it, but in the end you'll find yourself gravitating toward one style or another. Let's examine now the differences between stained and naturally finished wood.
A stained bo will have a very glossy and often attractive sheen to it. To the touch it feels smooth, glassy, and non-porous. Many people like a stained finished for it's consistency and for it's ability to help protect the wood against sweat, blood, and anything else that comes along.
Some bo come stained not unlike flooring, while others are oiled. Two of the best choices for oiling a bo include pre-bioled linseed oil and tung oil.
One problem with stained bos, especially ones that are stained with inappropriate paints and finishes, is that they can cause the hands to stick and skid as you try to slide across them. The sweat from the hand is not absorbed into the finish and therefore makes handling the weapon more difficult.
Natural finish on a bo basically means that the wood is sanded down to maximum smoothness but not coated in anything (or very lightly coated in an unobtrusive oil). Natural finish demonstrates the color and texture of the wood without being hidden or altered in any significant way.
One great thing about an unfinished bo is that it interacts with the hands better than a stained bo. It will absorb sweat and keep the hands in prime condition for sliding and manipulating the weapon, not to mention there is less of a skidding sensation along the surface.
The only major problem with the natural finish is susceptibility to outside moisture, and a higher likelihood of the grain opening and closing as the bo is exposed to different temperatures and moisture conditions. This makes routine maintenance more importance and reduces the possible longevity of the weapon.
Ultimately it's up to you to decide which sounds more appealing. Assess your physical attributes (for example, are you a big hand sweater?) and try out a few different styles to find the one perfect for you.

Infinity Scarf Tutorial
This is a chiffon fabric and perfect for warmer weather. It is 60" wide and just over a yard at 40" or so.
I laid the whole piece on my work table and folded it in half lengthwise as shown. Doesn't matter if it's right side or wrong side, since we are just cutting it in half at this point.
Put that second piece aside and use it for another scarf. Fold your one length in half again lengthwise right sides together and stitch it along that long side ONLY. I used my serger.
Now reach through one end and grab the other end and pull it through so it's right side out.
Find your seams at each end.
Here are some other angles so you can see how it should look at this stage. This is from the front. See both tubes to either side of where it's pinned?
Now take it to the sewing machine and start stitching at that first pin.
And this is what it looks like at this point.
Feel free to ask questions if I haven't made anything clear.
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Saturday.

Great tutorial! I'm so going to use that! I'd love to see you link up with us at the Inspire Us Thursdays! link party at www.theinspiredwren.com.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Ren. I just went over and linked up. Please share pics when you make your own. I'd love to see it. Thank you for stopping by!Delete
My Goodness! I wish I saw your tutorial before I made one of those scarf last fall. After much fumbling, ripping seams and folding the fabric in any possible way to try to figure out how to do it, I did it exactly the way you did. It seems my method was not so bad after all! ;-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I did the same thing France. So I thought I'd share it so no one else had to struggle the way we did. I ripped many a seam too! Would love to see yours. Thanks for stopping by.Delete
I'll have my photographer (my spouse!) take a picture this weekend if the weather is not too grey or next weekend!ReplyDelete
I'm researching how to do this so that I can teach some little girls this summer. I really appreciate how easy-to-follow yours is! Did you see this one posted awhile back by Rett? https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=7X07g6H-qp8 It's a good one, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, JJ. I did. I liked how that one had the twist in it. I thought it would go unnoticed in this pattern though, so I just made it straight. This will be a perfect project for the girls. You should also try the earbud case. http://www.erinerickson.com/2011/11/circle-zip-earbud-pouch-tutorial/. I just made one, and it's really easy. I didn't use batting. I used craftfuse on the focus fabric pieces instead. It was less bulky. I would also make the circle a bit larger. My earbuds don't fit in the case without really wrapping them really tight around my fingers. Then they get all tangled when taken out of the case. Plus if you have an i-Phone, you need that special attachment for earbuds, and it takes up more room.Delete
Thanks for the link!! I've got my projects lined up for this summer, but I'm already assuming everyone will have a WONDERFUL time and that I'll need some new ideas for next summer! ;)Delete
Great tutorial! I have a Craft Gossip post scheduled for later this morning that links to your tutorial:ReplyDelete

Thank you so much. I am happy to share when something works well for me! lol Thank you for stopping by.Delete
Angela- when you first fold the fabric in half lengthwise, just before stitching the long end, is it right sides together or wrong sides. Hard to telReplyDeleteReplies
They are right sides together. I will go back and edit this post to include that. So sorry. :)Delete
I'm going to have to make one step by step with your tutorial... What is confusing at first glance is trying to see what part of the fabric is the right side and wrong side.ReplyDeleteReplies
Michele, I will go back and edit the post to make that notation. I didn't realize I hadn't said it. Thank you and njerzgal for letting me know. They are right sides together.Delete

Editor's note: Matthew Segal is the co-founder and president of OurTime.org, an advocacy organization for young Americans, and the host of "OurTime with Matthew Segal" on SiriusXM POTUS, a new series produced by and for millennial listeners. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the writer.
(CNN) -- There is a Washington adage that if you don't help write the menu, you might end up on it. And make no mistake: The classes of 2014 that walked across graduation stages recently just provided more young people available to be served for lunch.
Despite positive news about America's reduced 6.3% unemployment rate in April, it turns out the jobless rate for 18- to 29-year-olds is 9.1%. If you include "discouraged workers," or those who have given up looking for work, unemployment for 18- to 29-year-olds is 15.5%. The unemployment rate for young African-Americans is even worse: 16.6%, and if you add discouraged workers, it's a whopping 23.3%.
With job opportunities scarce, employers feel little pressure to raise wages. Unpaid internships are pervasive, and the allure of "experience" in their chosen field is enough to entice eager young people to work for free, unless their parents can't afford to subsidize them. Those young people must either accumulate additional debt while working unpaid internships or look toward minimum wage positions, which are becoming more the norm, and less the teenage avocation to score some extra cash.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, 88% of workers making the minimum wage are 20 years old or more, and about 4 in 10 are college graduates or have some level of college education. The system is unfortunately stacked against these low earners, because without savings, the ability to buy goods that can appreciate in wealth -- such as a house -- are negligible. According to the Census Bureau, about 1 in 3 Americans under 35 own homes, dropping by 4.2% from 2007 to 2013.
As James Hauser, a 28-year-old college graduate who works in Washington, told me: "I am debating for my next paycheck whether to make a credit card payment or replace my current pair of shoes. I take public transit for most things, so I walk a lot."
Hauser, like many people his age, feels stunted without assets: "My parents were already in a house with three children when they were my age," he said.
Of all the economic trends holding back America's young people, perhaps the most disturbing is the soaring cost of a post-high school diploma. So many young people have been sold the imperative nature of a higher education. "I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training," President Obama said in February 2009. "This can be community college or a four-year school, vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma."
Although the President's goal is a noble one, the cost of a college degree has risen by 1,120% since 1978 -- far outpacing increases in food, health care and housing prices. As a result, we have more than $1.1 trillion in student loan debt, and 7 million Americans are in default on their student loans, meaning they are more than 270 days late on a payment.
"With almost a fourth of borrowers in default, we are creating a generation with nothing left to lose," said Natalia Abrams, executive director of Student Debt Crisis, a national advocacy organization.
Hauser also struggles with debt. "It's hard to think about, especially with the hundreds of dollars of interest that accumulates each month." To make matters worse, there are few protections for student borrowers under U.S. bankruptcy law, which is not true for credit card debt, mortgage debt or even gambling debt.
To file for bankruptcy you must prove "undue hardship," which, in essence, translates to being severely disabled. College students who had taken out loans graduate with an average $25,000 debt because of rising tuition costs. And the government is profiting tens of billions of dollars from federal student loan interest rates, which are projected to climb even more (up to 10.5% for graduate students) over the next five years.
Not surprisingly, faith in government is vanishing. According to a recent Harvard Institute of Politics survey, only 1 in 5 young people trust the federal government, and most pernicious of all, only 23% of young people are positive they will vote in November. "There's an erosion of trust in the individuals and institutions that make government work," said John Della Volpe, the Harvard pollster. "Now we see the lowest level of interest in any election we've measured since 2000."
While it is easy to empathize with young people's frustration in government, abstaining from the political process is arguably the worst move to make. Because politicians assume that young people don't vote, funding for job creation, national service and education is on the chopping block. The class of 2014 must confront this reality: discounting Washington as tone deaf and ineffective seems fair enough, but it will only get worse if we sit on the sidelines.

Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse. August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. "Wonder is the best kids' book of the year," said Emily Bazelon, senior editor at Slate.com and author of Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out. Join the conversation: #thewonderofwonderFrom the Hardcover edition. Amazon.com ReviewAmazon Best Books of the Month for Kids, February 2012: Wonder is a rare gem of a novel--beautifully written and populated by characters who linger in your memory and heart. August Pullman is a 10-year-old boy who likes Star Wars and Xbox, ordinary except for his jarring facial anomalies. Homeschooled all his life, August heads to public school for fifth grade and he is not the only one changed by the experience--something we learn about first-hand through the narratives of those who orbit his world. August's internal dialogue and interactions with students and family ring true, and though remarkably courageous he comes across as a sweet, funny boy who wants the same things others want: friendship, understanding, and the freedom to be himself.

Cross Country: Marist seniors capture regional races
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media October 20, 2012 10:40PM
Marist's Kyle Hauser and James Durkin, of Brother Rice, lead the pack half way through the 2.98 mile run for the Sandburg Cross Country regionals, Saturday, October 20th, 2012 in Midlothian, IL. | Gary Middendorf~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: November 22, 2012 6:40AM
Though their races were different, the results were the same for Marist seniors Maggie O'Loughlin and Kyle Hauser.
Competing at the Sandburg Regional on Saturday at Midlothian Meadows, O'Loughlin breezed to the girls title with a time of 18 minutes, 13 seconds, while Hauser needed to scrap for the boys crown, winning in 15:21.
O'Loughlin led the pack from start to finish and never appeared in danger. She beat out Shepard senior Lauren Loomis (18:28) and teammate Moira McDermott (18:38) for her third straight regional crown.
"I kept trying to push because that's what my coach (Patrick Quinn) told me to do," O'Loughlin said. "I tried to keep strong. My coach said I had a good straightaway, so I was happy."
Marist's girls finished first with 27 points.
Sandburg, led by fourth-place finisher Maggie Sobolewski, took second with 54.
For Hauser, it was a clash for first with Brother Rice junior James Durkin. The duo emerged neck-and-neck from the start, remaining that way until the closing minute. Hauser managed to kick on the burners over the final turn, sailing past the finish line with a comfortable six-second win over Durkin (15:27).
"We train on this course a lot, so I kind of knew where I should kick and where I usually get tired in workouts, so I gauged that," Hauser said. "I was really looking forward to this race and the good competition in it and I'm glad (Durkin) delivered."
Shepard's Josh Maier (15:39) and Abel Hernandez (15:40) took third and fourth, respectively, propelling Shepard (43 points) to the program's first regional championship.
"Our team's been working really hard," Maier said. "To win the first regional in school history is amazing."
Sandburg, resting some key members, took second with 59. Rice was third at 85.

FIGURE 12.1. Normal PA (A) and Lateral (B) Radiographs of the Chest.
FIGURE 12.2. Lateral Decubitus Film for the Detection of Pleural Effusion. An upright radiograph (A) in a patient recovering from pulmonary edema shows blunting of both lateral costophrenic sulci. A left lateral decubitus film (B) demonstrates free-flowing effusion laterally on the down side (solid arrows) and within the lateral aspect of an incomplete oblique fissure (open arrows). Note the clearing of fluid from the right lateral costophrenic sulcus with the patient in the opposite decubitus position, with fluid layering medially along the mediastinal pleural surface.

The right paratracheal stripe (open arrows) is composed of the right lateral tracheal wall, a small amount of mediastinal fat, paratracheal lymph nodes, and the visceral and parietal pleural layers of the right upper lobe. B. Left lateral chest film shows the anterior (open arrow) and posterior (short solid arrow) walls of the trachea. The posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius (long solid arrow) is readily visible on lateral radiographs as it crosses the end-on view of the left upper lobe bronchus. Because these structures are central, their relationship tends to remain even on rotated films. This is easily seen on CT (see Fig. 12.5B, image 3).
FIGURE 12.5. Tracheobronchial and Hilar Anatomy. A. Three-dimensional volume-rendered virtual bronchographic view of the bronchial tree. Tr, trachea; RM, right main bronchus; LM, left main bronchus; RUL, right upper lobe; RML, right middle lobe; LUL, left upper lobe; BI, bronchus intermedius; BT, basal trunk. B.

FIGURE 12.6. Normal Lobar and Fissural Anatomy. A. Frontal view. B. Lateral view. RUL, right upper lobe; LUL, left upper lobe; RML, right middle lobe; RLL, right lower lobe; LLL, left lower lobe; ULs, upper lobes; LLs, lower lobes.
FIGURE 12.7. Fissural Anatomy on HRCT. The oblique fissures appear as thin curvilinear lines (solid arrows) concave anteriorly in the upper thorax (A), flat lines in the midthorax (B), and convex anterior lines in the lower chest (C). The apex of the domed minor fissure is seen as an avascular zone in the midthorax (open arrow in B).
FIGURE 12.8. Inferior Pulmonary and Pericardiophrenic Ligaments. A CT scan just above the diaphragm demonstrates a thin line (small solid arrow) extending posterolaterally at the level of the esophagus that represents the sublobar septum extending to the inferior pulmonary ligament. On the right, a curvilinear line (large solid arrow) extending from just lateral to the inferior vena cava represents the right pericardiophrenic ligament containing branches of the phrenic nerve and pericardiophrenic vessels. More anteriorly, a thin line (open arrow) is seen just above the apex of the right hemidiaphragm (H), which represents fat within the inferior aspect of the major fissure.
FIGURE 12.9. Prevailing Pattern of Segmental Arteries and Venous Returns. Three-dimensional volume-rendered images of the pulmonary arterial system in different views depict the most usual arterial anatomy. The branches of the right and left pulmonary arteries accompany and divide in parallel with the corresponding bronchi. A. Left and right pulmonary arteries, (1) anterior view; (2) posterior view. B. Right pulmonary artery, (1) anterior view; (2) posterior view. C. Left pulmonary artery, (1) anterior view; (2) posterior view. TrSup, truncus superior; A1, apical (upper lobe); A2, posterior (upper lobe); A3, anterior (upper lobe); A4, lateral (middle lobe) and superior (lingula); A5, medial (middle lobe) and inferior (lingula); A6, superior (lower lobe); A7, medial basal (lower lobe); A8, anterior basal (lower lobe); A9, lateral basal (lower lobe); A10, posterior basal (lower lobe). Note that the right upper lobe receives an accessory branch from the proximal right interlobar pulmonary artery (Aas). D. Left atrium and venous returns, (1) anterior view; (2) posterior view. Three-dimensional volume-rendered images of the left atrium and venous returns depict the most usual venous return anatomy. Significantly more variation exists than in the bronchial/arterial systems. Although only the main returns are depicted here, the reader will find an extensive discussion in Yamashita (11). RSup, Right superior venous return; LSup, left superior venous return; RInf, right inferior venous return; LInf, left inferior venous return. Several branches can join the left atrium separate from their lobar venous return. The most common ones are RSup (RML), right middle lobe branch of the RSup; LInf(SupSeg) and RInf(SupSeg), branches from the superior segments of the lower lobes. Lapp, Left atrial appendage; MV, mitral valve plane.
FIGURE 12.10. Diagram of the Pulmonary Interstitium.
FIGURE 12.11. Radiolucent Spaces on Lateral Chest Radiographs. The retrosternal space is demarcated anteriorly by the posterior margin of the sternum (small arrows) and the heart and ascending aorta posteriorly and accounts for the anterior junction line seen on frontal radiographs. The retrotracheal triangle is marginated by the posterior wall of the trachea anteriorly (open triangle), the spine posteriorly (broken triangle), and the aortic arch inferiorly (solid triangle). The retrocardiac space is demarcated anteriorly by the posterior cardiac margin (upper open arrow) and the inferior vena cava (I, lower open arrow).
FIGURE 12.12. Anterior and Posterior Junction Lines. A. A posteroanterior chest film shows both anterior (solid arrows) and posterior (open arrows) junction lines. B. CT through the upper thorax in another patient shows the anterior junction line in the retrosternal space, while the posterior junction line lies in the retrotracheal space.
FIGURE 12.13. Lung–Lung Interfaces on a Frontal Radiograph. Coned down view of a PA film shows the right paraesophageal interface (solid arrows). The azygos arch (open arrows) separates the supra-azygos lung from the infra-azygos lung, which creates the azygoesophageal recess interface (solid triangles). The retrocardiac left lung creates the preaortic recess interface (open triangles).
TABLE 12.4 Anterior and Posterior Junction Lines
TABLE 12.5 Normal Lung–Mediastinal Interfaces
FIGURE 12.14. Lung–Mediastinal Interfaces, Left Side. Posteroanterior chest radiograph shows the normal contours along the left mediastinum (from superior to inferior): left subclavian artery (long straight white arrow), aortic knob (curved white arrow), aortopulmonary window (straight black arrow), main pulmonary artery (curved open white arrow), left atrial appendage (open black arrow), and left ventricle (solid white arrow).
FIGURE 12.15. Aortic Nipple. The contour of the "aortic nipple" is formed by the left superior intercostal vein (white arrowheads). The small black arrows denote the contour of the aortic knob.
FIGURE 12.16. Mediastinal Compartments as Defined on Lateral View. A, Anterior mediastinum; M, middle mediastinum; P, posterior mediastinum.
TABLE 12.6 Contents of the Thoracic Inlet and Mediastinum
FIGURE 12.17. Normal Mediastinal Anatomy on CT. A. Thoracic inlet. Tr, trachea; t, thyroid; e, esophagus; j, internal jugular vein; c, common carotid artery; a, anterior scalene muscle; m, middle scalene muscle. B. Supra-aortic level. CT scan demonstrates the triangular appearance of the fatty thymus (arrows) occupying the anterior mediastinum. lb, Left brachiocephalic vein; rb, right brachiocephalic vein; B, brachiocephalic artery; C, common carotid artery; Sa, left subclavian artery. C. Aortic arch level. Four main structures are identified at this level: A, aortic arch; S, superior vena cava; Tr, trachea; E, esophagus. Normal-sized lymph nodes are seen in the retrocaval, pretracheal space (open arrow). D. Aortopulmonary window level. The aortopulmonary window contains fat and small lymph nodes (large open arrow). The retro-aortic portion of the superior pericardial recess is seen as a crescent-shaped fluid-filled structure (small open arrow). As, ascending aorta; De, descending aorta; S, superior vena cava; Ca, tracheal carina; a, azygos vein; E, esophagus. E. Main and left pulmonary artery level. As, ascending aorta; S, superior vena cava; De, descending aorta, M, main pulmonary artery; L, left pulmonary artery; TA, truncus anterior branch of right pulmonary artery. F. Right pulmonary artery and azygoesophageal recess level. M, main pulmonary artery; R, right pulmonary artery; As, ascending aorta; De, descending aorta; S, superior vena cava; rv, right superior pulmonary veins; lv, left superior pulmonary veins; Ld, left descending pulmonary artery; AER, azygoesophageal recess. G. Right ventricular outflow tract/atrial appendages. RVOT, Right ventricular outflow tract; RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium; rv, right superior pulmonary vein; As, ascending aorta; De, descending aorta. H. Ventricles and intraventricular septum. RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle.
FIGURE 12.18. Posterior Mediastinal Anatomy. A CT scan shows a contrast-filled esophagus (curved arrow) anteromedial to the proximal descending aorta (De). Also visible within the posterior mediastinum are the azygos vein (a), hemiazygos vein (long arrow), and thoracic duct (short arrow).
FIGURE 12.19. Normal Frontal and Lateral Hilar Anatomy. A. Cone-down frontal view. Right hilum: Short white arrows, border of the interlobar artery; small black arrowheads, right superior pulmonary vein; small white arrowheads, truncus anterior. The lucency between these (long black arrow) is from the apical segmental bronchus. Left hilum: Large white arrowhead, left pulmonary artery; short black arrows, border of the left descending pulmonary artery; black dots, left superior pulmonary vein; white dots, left upper lobe artery; long white arrow, apicoposterior segmental bronchus. The asterisk is in the AP window. B. Using two-dimensional imaging techniques, one can gain adequate insight of the complex lateral hilar anatomy. This view shows a 50-mm average sagittal projection over the hila of a contrast CT with 3-mm collimation reconstructed at 2-mm. (1) The left hilum. Small white arrows outline the left upper lobe bronchus; small black arrowheads border the left lower lobe bronchus; long black arrows delineate the left descending artery; AP window (asterisk) lies between the inferior border of the aorta (lined with small black dots) and the left pulmonary artery (white arrowheads). (2) The right hilum. Note the relationship between the right upper lobe bronchus (small white arrows) and the right pulmonary artery (black dots). Black arrowheads indicate the posterior border of the bronchus intermedius; small white arrowheads line the middle lobe bronchus; large white arrowheads outline the right lower lobe bronchus; white dots line the right lower venous return; black arrows delineate the superior vena cava (SVC). The differential density is the result of the heavier contrast layering along the posterior aspect of the vessel in a supine acquisition. (3) Two-dimensional average merge of (1) and (2). Using the data from (1) and (2), note the relationship between the different structures described above.
FIGURE 12.20. HRCT of the Pleura. HRCT scan through the lung bases demonstrates normal intercostal stripes (solid arrows) that are separated from the intercostal muscles by a layer of fat. An intercostal vein (small open arrow) is seen in the paravertebral region. Anteriorly, the transverse thoracic muscles (large open arrows) line the parasternal pleural surface.
FIGURE 12.21. Normal Pleural and Chest Wall Anatomy. The visceral pleura is 0.1 to 0.2 mm thick and is composed of a single layer of mesothelial cells and its associated fibroelastic fascia, called the subpleural interstitium, that is part of the peripheral interstitial network. The parietal pleura is 0.1 mm thick and is composed of a single layer of mesothelial cells lining a loose connective tissue layer containing systemic capillaries, lymphatic vessels, and sensory nerves. Outside the parietal pleura is the fibroelastic endothoracic fascia, which is separated from the pleura by a thin layer of extrapleural fat. The endothoracic fascia lines the ribs and intercostal muscles.
FIGURE 12.22. Normal Chest Wall Anatomy on CT. A. Level of the thoracic inlet. PM, pectoralis major muscle; Tr, trapezius muscle; L, levator scapulae muscle; Sc, scalene muscle; Scm, sternocleidomastoid muscle; H, humeral head; G, glenoid; C, distal clavicle; T1, first thoracic vertebral body.

Ld, Latissimus dorsi muscle; Sa, serratus anterior muscle. F. Level of the xiphoid process. Ld, latissimus dorsi muscle; Sa, serratus anterior muscle; X, xiphoid process of the sternum.
FIGURE 12.23. Normal Anatomy of the Diaphragm on CT. A. A scan through the upper abdomen demonstrates the crura of the diaphragm posteriorly (small open arrows), the costal origins of the diaphragm laterally (large open arrows), and the costal cartilaginous origins anterolaterally (solid arrows). B. More inferiorly, the esophageal hiatus is seen between the crura (open arrows).
TABLE 12.7 Patterns of Parenchymal Opacity
TABLE 12.8 Radiographic Characteristics of Airspace Disease
FIGURE 12.24. Air Bronchograms in Airspace Disease. Cone-down view of the right upper lobe in a patient with pneumococcal pneumonia shows homogeneous lobar airspace disease delineated inferiorly by the minor fissure. Note the presence of air bronchograms (arrows) within the opacified lobe.
TABLE 12.9 Diffuse Confluent Airspace Opacities: Differential Diagnosis
TABLE 12.10 Types of Pulmonary Atelectasis
FIGURE 12.25. Lobar Atelectasis. Upright frontal chest radiograph in a postoperative patient with right lower lobe atelectasis shows a homogeneous triangular opacity in the right lower lung that partially obscures the right hemidiaphragm. The upper margin of the collapsed lobe is marginated by the inferiorly displaced major fissure (arrows). Bronchoscopy retrieved a mucous plug from the right lower lobe bronchus, and the lobe subsequently re-expanded.
TABLE 12.11 Radiographic Signs in Lobar Atelectasis
FIGURE 12.26. Subsegmental (Platelike) Atelectasis. A. Frontal chest radiograph in a woman 1 day following a cholecystectomy shows diminished lung volumes and numerous bilateral middle and lower zone linear opacities coursing perpendicular to the costal pleura, representing areas of subsegmental atelectasis. B. The opacities resolved within several days.
FIGURE 12.27. Round Atelectasis. Prone CT scan through the lung bases in a patient with asbestos-related pleural disease and rounded atelectasis shows a triangular opacity in the posteromedial right lower lobe associated with pleural thickening. Note the bronchus at the apex of the triangle (curved arrow). Bilateral pleural plaques are also evident (straight arrows).
FIGURE 12.28. Lobar Atelectasis, PA, Lateral, and Schematic Representations. A. Right upper lobe. Black arrowheads outline the elevated and bowed minor fissure; black arrows outline the right major fissure, as in diagram ii. Note the elevated right hilum, with the white arrows showing the interlobar artery, and the silhouetting of the normal contours of the SVC and upper hilum (white question mark). The significant density is caused by mucus retention within the atelectatic lobe (courtesy of Dr. Louise Samson). B. Left upper lobe (LUL). Large black arrowheads outline the major fissure, as in diagram iii, reaching down to the slightly elevated left hemidiaphragm (small black arrowheads). The nondisplaced right minor fissure demonstrates this is a left-sided process. On the posteroanterior view, we note the diffuse opacity of the LUL. Note that the contours of the aortic knob and anteroposterior window are silhouetted (black question mark) and that the LUL bronchus is retracted superiorly (white arrowheads). The black broken line outlines the manubrium, not to be mistaken for the aortic knob. The small black arrows outline the descending aorta, which remains visible in LUL atelectasis. The congruent white double arrows (pair "a" and pair "b") show the narrowing of the rib cage from the volume loss. C. Right middle lobe. On the lateral view, the black arrowheads outline the upper and lower edges of the minor fissure, as in diagram iv. On the posteroanterior view, we note that the mid-cardiac of the right mediastinal contour (small black arrows) is silhouetted (black question marks). D. Right and left middle lobes. Both lower lobes collapse in a similar fashion. In this example of left lower lobe atelectasis with effusions (black arrows), note how the major fissure (large black arrowheads) outlines the atelectatic lobe (asterisk), as depicted on diagram iii. The contour of the left hemidiaphragm is lost (question mark). The inferior displacement of the hilum demonstrates volume loss: note the vertical migration of the left mainstem bronchus (small black arrows), and the contour of the left descending pulmonary artery (white arrowheads).

TABLE 12.13 Causes of Pulmonary Lucency
FIGURE 12.30. Focal Lucent Pulmonary Lesions.
FIGURE 12.31. Anterior Mediastinal Mass Resulting From Seminoma. Frontal (A) and lateral (B) chest radiographs in a 35-year-old man with a history of cough and fatigue demonstrate a lobulated mass (arrows) in the right anterior mediastinum. A CT-guided biopsy showed seminoma.
FIGURE 12.32. Hilar Lymph Node Enlargement. A. A posteroanterior radiograph in a 49-year-old woman with metastatic renal cell carcinoma demonstrates a lobulated enlargement and increased density of the right hilum (solid arrows) with concomitant paratracheal lymph node enlargement (open arrow). B. A CT scan through the hila shows the lobulated soft tissue mass (short arrows) within the right hilum surrounding the bronchus intermedius (curved arrow).
FIGURE 12.33. Hilar Mass Within the Inferior Hilar Window. A. A cone-down view of a lateral radiograph in a patient subsequently found to have a plasmacytoma of the left hilum shows a mass (large arrows) within the inferior hilar window obliterating the anterior wall of the left lower lobe bronchus (small arrows). B. A CT scan through the lower hila confirms the presence of a left hilar mass (asterisk).
FIGURE 12.34. Enlarged Hilar Nodes on CT. Enhanced CT in a patient with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis demonstrates bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement (arrows).
FIGURE 12.35. Pleural Effusion on Chest Radiographs. Posteroanterior (A) and lateral (B) chest radiographs demonstrate the typical meniscoid appearance (arrows) in a patient with a left pleural effusion resulting from mediastinal Hodgkin lymphoma.
FIGURE 12.36. Subpulmonic Pleural Effusion on CT. A. A CT scan through the lower chest shows fluid surrounding an enhancing broad curvilinear structure (asterisks). The fluid creates an ill-defined interface with the liver (arrows). B. A scan 1 cm more cephalad shows that the curvilinear density represents the tip of an atelectatic right lower lobe containing air bronchograms (arrows). C. More inferiorly, the crus of the diaphragm (dotted structure) is displaced laterally by posteromedial pleural fluid.
FIGURE 12.37. Bilateral Subpulmonic Pleural Effusions. A. An upright posteroanterior radiograph in a 41-year-old woman with ascites demonstrates apparent elevation of both hemidiaphragms. Right (B) and left (C) decubitus films demonstrate dependent layering of the subpulmonic pleural fluid (arrows).
FIGURE 12.38. The Visceral Pleural Line in Pneumothorax. A cone-down view of an upright posteroanterior radiograph in a patient with a spontaneous pneumothorax demonstrates a curvilinear visceral pleural line (solid arrows) separating the lung medially from the chest wall laterally. Note the presence of thin-walled cysts (open arrows) from Coccidioides infection, which are most likely responsible for the pneumothorax.
FIGURE 12.39. Deep Sulcus Sign in Supine Patient With Pneumothorax. A. A supine chest film obtained following placement of a left internal jugular central venous catheter shows a deep sulcus sign at the left base (arrows), representative of a pneumothorax. B. Film obtained after placement of a left thoracostomy tube shows that the deep sulcus sign has resolved.
