|Hi all! I'm in Mesa and we need to plant one tree in our front yard (north exposure) and two in our backyard. I went to the nursery and got some non-committal answers about what would be best to plant. We decided on a Brazilian Pepper for the front (north) yard and a Sissoo and Chinese Tallow for the back (south) yard. I'm reading some concerning things about the Chinese Tallow in other parts of the country (it's very invasive) but I'm not reading anything about local issues. The chinese tallow was attractive to us because of the size and brilliant fall foliage.
I'm just wondering if these are the best options? I have lots of room and am wanting a lot of shade for the back yard and more contained for the front yard. The trees would be on a drip system and very close to the grass which has a sprinkler system so they will get plenty of water.
We have children and a dog if that makes any difference.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts!

|Ok, the trees are in - we switched the Chinese Tallow for a Chinese Pistache.
But, now my question is that the trees have been taped to a stake. All my neighbors who had trees planted had two states next to the trees with a ring in the middle (looks like garden hose) around the trunk with room for the trunk to move and grow. Is this right?
- Posted by quirkyquercus z0..as in xero rain (My Page) on Fri, Dec 7, 07 at 12:32
|All of those trees are extremely problematic in other parts of the country. I repeat, all of them.
Try to find a different garden center.
If these plants come from a large national grower and they become popular in one place, even if they are not invasive there, they'll get shipped out to other places where they are a problem.

To Allah We Belong and to Him We Return: The Passing of Sh. 'Abdul Hamid al-Azhari [ra]
We are saddened to announce the passing of one of our, myself and Abul Hussien's, teachers: Sh. Abdul Hamid al-Azhari.
We ask Allah to grant him forgiveness, stability and the highest rewards.

Amin. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioun.

'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to ignorant as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray. (Sahih Muslim)

May Allah have mercy on the shayk, forgive him and bless him with a high station in paradise

text: Interesting note from Pro Football Weekly: "Besides adding much-needed defensive-line depth, we hear another reason why the Jets were so active in bolstering their D-line right before the season is that they are uncomfortable with the progress Dewayne Robertson has made at nose tackle. In fact, Jets observers believe that the acquisitions of veteran DL Bobby Hamilton and young DT C.J. Mosley via trade and the signing of free-agent DT Rashad Moore are a clear sign that the team realizes Robertson, who is undersized and more effective using his quickness to rush upfield, was miscast as a 3-4 nose tackle. Word is that since Robertson is not the intense, hardworking kind of player that coach Eric Mangini prefers and he struggled mightily in the preseason, he could see his role shrink and eventually get traded, though more likely following the season. The 24-year-old has four years remaining on his rookie deal and will earn $4,669,994 in base salary this season. The Jets would incur a cap hit of $9,466,664 if he were cut." So from the 2003 draft, BB snookered the Jets into jumping ahead of the Pats to grab Robertson. The Pats end up getting what was looked at as the consolation prize, Ty Warren, among the DLs from that draft after the Rams took Kennedy. Hindsight shows that only Kevin Williams has been as good or better than Warren, and we've also got one of the other top DLs in Johnathan Sullivan (who shows signs he may be able to be a player in the Pats' environment). Makes me feel even better about arming BB/SP with an extra #1 pick in a reportedly strong draft. http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The Way We Hear It/default.htm?mode=afceast

Julia Roberts' Liz leaves behind flaky husband Billy Crudup and "Yonkers yogi" boy-toy James Franco to embark on a year-long solo walkabout, with stops in Italy, India, and Bali. Writer/director Ryan Murphy keeps emotional currents bubbling on the surface, serving up near-constant catharsis but hardly any arcthe title is a spoiler in three parts. As vicarious travelogue, EPL stumbles by flattening its loaded locations into (beautifully photographed) set dressing.
Politics and economics hardly exist; each place is populated chiefly by wise exotics who talk funny (including Richard Jenkins's Texan in the ashram) and exist solely to spout slogans and tell stories that make Liz's problems seem small: "Believe in love again!" "Americans know entertainment, but not pleasure!" "It won't last forevernothing does!" Liz's happily-ever-after hookup with hunky divorcée Javier Bardem should be EPL's glorious guilty-pleasure crescendo; instead, it's a rushed foregone conclusion.
Though targeted at the same female filmgoers who flocked to the self-realization via food porn of Julie and Julia, EPL is a comparative downer, offering the rush of self-improvement without having to do any of the work. I cried. Mission accomplished?

Omaha loving Peyton Manning
|Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) huddles with teammates against the San Diego Chargers in the third quarter of an NFL AFC division playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014, in Denver. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey)
OMAHA, Neb. — Peyton Manning can't stop shouting about Nebraska's largest city.
The Denver Broncos quarterback used the word "Omaha" loudly and often during Sunday's National League Football playoff victory over the San Diego Chargers.
According to an NFL.com video montage, Manning barked "Omaha" before the ball was snapped 44 times during the game.
The reason for the word choice, if there is one, is known only to Manning and the Broncos. But it provided some unexpected publicity for the city of 427,000, perhaps best known as the home of both billionaire Warren Buffett and the Fortune 500 insurance company Mutual of Omaha (sponsor of the old TV show "Wild Kingdom").
Omaha, in fact, was a trending topic on Twitter during the game, and the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau jumped aboard, tweeting: "We certainly appreciate all the love from Peyton Manning :)"
Bureau President and CEO David Brown said he was watching the game, and he wondered how his agency could capitalize. Brown said he wants to explore the possibility of hiring Manning, one of the sporting world's top pitchmen, to shoot a promotional ad for Omaha.
"We'd be foolish not to," Brown said, adding that he realizes Manning would command a fee that likely exceeds his agency's budget.
If anything, Omaha once conjured an image of a cow town on the banks of the Missouri River. But Doug Parrott, executive vice president for the Nebraska-based Bailey Lauerman public relations and advertising firm, said that has changed over the years because of the prominence of Buffett and national media coverage of events such as the College World Series and U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.
Brown said the chamber of commerce has worked hard to woo corporations to locate to "the Big O," as locals call it. Omaha is home to five Fortune 500 companies, including Union Pacific Railroad, and sells itself on, among other things, a reasonable cost of living and dependable workforce.
A chamber-commissioned
See MANNING, Page 10B
study last year found that 100 million people had been exposed to the "Omaha message" in the past decade and that the city is generally viewed positively," Brown said..
"But when people are asked why they feel that way, though, they can't bring it to a single message," he said.
Quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots has been known to say "Omaha" during games and so has Peyton's brother, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. "Sally," "Alpha," and "Kentucky" are among the many words that amount to gibberish to the typical fan, and sometimes they truly mean nothing. But the words often are a signal to the rest of the offense to change a play or scheme — and defenses sometimes try to crack the code.
It was apparent that the Chargers associated "Omaha" with Manning's snap count on Sunday because he lured five different San Diego players to jump offsides, an unusually high number of penalties for the same infraction.
For the city of Omaha, the value of Manning's shout-outs is impossible to calculate, Parrott said.
Parrott noted, however, that air time for a 30-second Super Bowl ad is $4 million this year. If Manning leads the Broncos to the Super Bowl and yells "Omaha" as many times as he did Sunday, well, that's lots of free exposure for this old cow town.
"Commercials cost money to make, and you have to come up with the idea and hire a production company to make it. It could cost $4 million just for the production, and we get it for free," Parrott said. "Everybody in Omaha really needs to root for Peyton to take down Tom Brady and the Patriots so we can hear `Omaha' in the Super Bowl."
AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver and AP Sports Writer Mike Marot in Indianapolis contributed to this report.

I'm pregnant with my first child. My mom wants to buy me a baby walker, like I had when I was little. But I'm worried about the safety of these devices. Are walkers a hazard or am I just being a paranoid first-time mom?
- Jessica
Looks like your mother's intuition has already kicked in. Walkers — devices with wheeled frames and suspended seats that allow babies to move around using their feet — are a big no-no nowadays. Health experts strongly discourage the use of walkers.
While infant walkers were very popular years ago, doctors have increasingly found them to be a leading cause of serious injuries in babies. While in walkers, babies can roll into hot stoves, heaters, and pools. They also can fall over objects or down a flight of stairs. In fact, falling down stairs is one of the most common injuries from walkers. Babies who fall can suffer broken bones and traumatic brain injuries. Even gates at the top of stairs or adult supervision often fail to prevent falls.
And walkers let babies reach higher than normal, so they're more likely to grab dangerous objects (like hot coffee cups and kitchen knives) or touch stovetops, which can lead to burns and other injuries.
Research shows that walkers do not provide any advantage to a child's development. They do not teach infants to walk or help them walk sooner than they would without one. Walkers also may deny babies the necessary opportunities for pulling up, creeping, and crawling.
To provide a safe play area for your baby, choose an activity center or bouncy seat, stationary rocker, swing, or play yard instead. And be sure that everyone who cares for your child knows about the dangers of walkers.

Chevron Reports Third Quarter Net Income Of $5.3 Billion, Compared To $7.8 Billion In Third Quarter 2011
Watson noted that, while investing for long-term production growth, the company remained focused on providing near-term shareholder returns as well. The company purchased $1.25 billion of its common stock in the third quarter 2012 under its share repurchase program.
Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 2.52 million barrels per day in the third quarter 2012, down from 2.60 million barrels per day in the 2011 third quarter. Production increases from project ramp-ups in Thailand, Nigeria and the United States were more than offset by the effects of planned maintenance-related downtime, normal field declines, continued shut-in of the Frade Field in Brazil, dispositions and storm-related shut-ins in the Gulf of Mexico. The company expects increased production in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to the current quarter, reflecting the completion of planned turnarounds and restoration of shut-in production in the Gulf of Mexico.

Niels Bohrn: Came up with a model of atomic orbitals, where electrons revolved around the nucleus. However, this only proved for hydrogen atom, which had only one electron, but not for other atoms. The answer is John Dalton layed the foundation for atomic theory

All quotes tagged Sanity
(92 quotes found)
"not being driven nuts by a significant other always helps one's sanity
and attitude. Trust me, of this I know what I speak."
"What this means is a return to sanity. There has been so much hype and so many promises made and promises broken."
"Society cannot be insane, only the individual can. Because sanity is a label dictated by society's ruling class."
"None of us are sane; none of us know sanity. We only have the audacity, to think that we are sane. Real beasts are sane. They have chosen to see the World for what it really is; a World filled with predators and hypocrites; hypocrites posing as civilized prey. Wolves in sheep's clothing, if you ask me. Wolves in sheep's clothing; only posing as civilized prey."
"The sanity of the average banquet speaker lasts about two and a half months; at the end of that time he begins to mutter to himself, and calls out in his sleep."

Re:For us non-US folk... (272 comments)
According to Wikipedia (and its cited sources), the 4G spec was finalized in 2008, and would require the ability for sustained data rates of 100Mbps. Current networks don't meet that, but LTE-Advanced could, and is only a firmware upgrade removed from current LTE systems.

Just Wondering...
- 0Aug 8, '09 by dh07RNJust wondering why allnurses.com and allnurses-central.com isn't just one website?
- 3Aug 8, '09 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideThe 'attacks' go both ways. Neither "side" is innocent here.
For the record: Allnurses.com is not a political website. It is a NURSING website whose founder has graciously provided members with a place to discuss political and philosophical topics. As such, Allnurses does not endorse any political party or take a stand on candidates, politicians, or issues.
- 0Aug 9, '09 by TweetyQuote from dhammo01allnurses-central.com appears to be more left-winged Pro Obama website than allnurses.com. Maybe it's just me, but people get attacked pretty viciously for being against Obama's healthcare reform on that site.
There are dozens of forums at allnurses central why judge the entire website as being "left-winged Pro-Obama" based on one issue that might be skewed one way. That nurses are pro-Universal Health Care shouldn't be a surprise, because the ANA for one has been advocating it for many years.
I don't see people getting attacked "pretty viciously", but that might be just me and how I look at things. However, if you feel that way, and you're entitled to your opinion, enjoy the many other forums here at Allnurses Central!
- 6Aug 9, '09 by Joe V AdminQuote from dhammo01it's merely a separation of subject matter...Just wondering why allnurses.com and allnurses-central.com isn't just one website?
allnurses.com - is all things nursing; it's a knowledge base of nursing material available to all professionals of all levels
allnurses-Central.com - is a safe place where nurses and friends can interact, share, and discuss off-topic (non-nursing) subjects;Last edit by Joe V on Aug 9, '09

Hi Julien
I see what you mean, and it would be an elegant way of overcoming my
handedness, having a separate keyboard routed with a bit of velocity
compression on the one for the right hand.
Alas, I do have two midi controller keyboards and whilst one is an
88-key, semi-weighted affair, the other is a synth-action keyboard which
now seems to have a few dodgy keys. Intermittent keys aside, a synth
action is no good for playing piano on, there just isn't the feedback
and it goes from nearly right to the top velocity layer with barely a
difference in touch, but that probably says more about my skills than
anything else.
Thanks again

Griffo endorsed by Independence Party
New York State Independence Party Vice-Chair John Dote and Lewis County Chairman and member of the New York State Independence Executive Committee Joe Baruth announced that the reform-oriented Senator Joe Griffo has received the endorsement of the Independence Party.
Griffo, who has made changing the culture and strengthening the ethical standards of Albany a priority in his tenure in the State Senate, was endorsed by the Independence Party during his 2008 re-election campaign.
"I am very pleased to receive this endorsement because the principles I stand for are very much in line with those of the Independence Party," Griffo said. "I am standing up for my region, for reform, for results and for tax relief that can bring an economic and community revival to our region. I know that the Independence Party wants to bring change to Albany and bring greatness to New York State. I am pleased to partner with the party to make this happen."
"Joe Griffo has shown that he can make a difference in Albany," Dote said. "The Independence party believes New York needs reform, and we stand behind one of Albany's most active reformers, Joe Griffo, in his efforts to change the system. Senator Griffo has been a leading advocate for our region, and has stood tall in seeking reforms. The Senator's advocacy policies and programs to reduce government spending make him an effective legislator who needs to be re-elected."
"I have worked in Albany to replace the dysfunctional, decaying system of Albany's archaic political system with a responsive, open, reformed way of governing," Griffo said. "My success in advancing reform legislation is Albany comes from the knowledge that I am working on behalf of the people of my district. I believe that the debacle of these past years has created a new climate for change, and I want to be a leader to take advantage of this opportunity. I am optimistic that the support I am receiving will help secure compete passage of my initiatives to reduce authorities, restrict spending, require term limits and direct elections to fill statewide vacancies, and create a Reform constitutional convention to build a new system of governing out of Albany's ruins and chaos."
Joe Baruth added, "This election is a pivotal point in the future of Upstate and Northern New York. We are all paying the cost of the tax increases jammed down our throats from the secrecy that Senator Griffo has so consistently opposed. We need an advocate who will continue to fight for change so that we can control spending and create effective government in Albany. Senator Griffo has the record and the commitment to show he can bring about that change."

The Gold Coast's patients are soon to see a new class of mental health unit design for themselves. Iron beds in dorms, which are like prison, being long and dark, are a world away from the design.
It has been found that the unit would bring with it the latest European trends in treatment. The unit at the Gold Coast University Hospital has been bragging colourful interiors, with open-plan and living spaces, which highlights a patient's independence.
The report said that the new unit is a long way from the grim 'madhouse'-like room, to which patients of mental health problems were committed back only decades. Recently, the same was announced as one of the world's best new-fangled mental health facilities at the ninth yearly Design and Health International Academy Awards.
Ron Bridgefoot, project director principal, avowed that a research had proved that natural surroundings and gardens could help anxious and disturbed patients, while easing depression. The same was used to develop the concept.
Mr. Bridgefoot has been into the field for years since the 1980s. "Today's approach is a lot different, a lot more humanistic, and that is coming across in the way we are building mental health facilities", affirmed he.

This year's 28th annual Gallup Poll of American attitudes toward public schools found that 66 percent of parents gave ''high honors'' to the public schools their children attended.
''High honors'' meant that parents bestowed either an A or B grade. Newspaper editorial boards, elected officials and union leaders rejoiced.It's true that this approval rating was down almost 10 percent from 1990, when 72 percent of parents were happy, but Gallup - everyone agreed - showed once again that public education was not in trouble.
Far from taking comfort in these Gallup results, however, public school supporters should be sobered. First, the proportion of disappointed parents (34 percent) is huge. One-third of all public school parents equals some 14 million families. To this number should be added the 3.5 million families using private schools, who have expressed their opinions with their feet. In other words, the parents of 30 million students are happy with what they are getting in public schools, and those of 21 million other students are not.
Second, these discontented parents are almost surely disproportionately minority and poor. Commentary on the report assumed that the malcontents were uniformly distributed, as if one-third of parents were unhappy in every school across the country.
But the suburbs are full of families that moved out of cities, often reluctantly, because of the schools. It's the families left behind - in deeply troubled schools overseen by deeply troubled districts, disproportionately in non-white neighborhoods - that are the most unhappy. Third, public school supporters should be further sobered by the reality of standardized test results. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly half of the country's 17-year-olds in 1992 could not recognize geometric figures, solve simple equations or compute with fractions, decimals and percentages. Reading skills were similarly deplorable.
In other words, a large proportion of parents giving their children's schools an A or B have children who are not doing A or B level work. What are we to make of all of this?
Clearly, the traditional American faith in public education is crashing on the shoals of ever weaker schools. And it's crashing even as public education consumes a hefty bite of the gross national product (some 7 percent). After years of trying all sorts of tricks and panaceas, we should face facts. The only way to promote a good and common education for all is to introduce choice in all its forms - charter schools, vouchers, tax credits - to public education. Remove the restrictions on the education marketplace and let all schools compete.
We know that competition, even when it takes the form of government-funded vouchers and loans, works in education. Indeed, it has been flourishing in higher education since World War II. Colleges and universities compete in an aggressive marketplace in which some fail and others open their doors for the first time. Both private dollars via tuition and tax dollars via government loans and scholarships move with students to their chosen colleges.
This is the opposite of the funding system for public elementary and high schools, under which government funds the schools, not the students.
For years, public school educators simply denied the existence of inadequate public schools.
Now that evidence of mediocre public education is unavoidable, we need a system, modeled on higher education, that would fund students directly and permit them to take assigned education dollars to a freely chosen school.
Under the current system, poor parents are captive markets. They have little economic ability to choose their housing, and their housing determines where their kids attend school.
Those who attack choice argue that it will worsen exactly the situation it's trying to improve by permitting the most aggressive and ambitious parents to transfer their children into the best schools. Those schools will quickly close their doors to new admissions, the critics argue, leaving the poorest students behind in the poorest schools.
But this argument also is based on the assumption, which many public school advocates now push, that no new schools will be permitted to compete within this system.
Rather, school choice will work best in an open system in which all schools are allowed to compete and in which successful principals and teachers are allowed to replicate their successes by opening new schools.
The presumption behind so much public education policy is that the schools would never be able to hold people by choice, and therefore they must be held through coercion.
How can this tax-financed disdain for the American promise of freedom and equality be justified?
