Volvo S60 — This car has been an awesome car, I treat my cars rather harsh and this car handles all I throw at it! I travel up to 70,000km a year, the breaks are astounding with great handling! The only problem I have had is a bolt came loose on the tappet cover (random) which then covered the top of the motor with engine oi in the process cracking all 5 coils, I replaced said coils with new ones ($120 each) myself and since have had no more problems over the 4 years of ownership and can not wait to buy another! The only over cars I would consider to replace this car would be a S40, S80,Volvo's or a Citroen C6. Primary Use: Family transportation |

This Year And Model Is A Real Gamble. — We bought this car at 135k less than a year ago, and we've now spent as much on repairs as we did on the purchase, including AAMCO transmission, radiator ($670). brake booster ($657) and spare key ($171). Now facing air bag ($800) and emission (100's) problems. This car seems to be falling apart mechanically. It had a clean CarFax report. We've owned earlier generation Volvos for years and have had an excellent experience. I assumed initial repairs would stabilize the car, but new problems keep surfacing. Maybe this isn't a 200,000 + mile car like the older ones... We aren't even addressing the engine mount problem that makes it handle roughly and noisily, because that doesn't relate to the mechanical integrity. Primary Use: Family transportation |

The Challenge of Global Change
The state of our planet's environment at any given instant is defined by a global system made up of many interacting components that are constantly changing. Some changes take place over days, months or years, others on time scales of centuries and eons. Some occur over small areas of the earth's surface, while others affect large regions or the whole planet.
For most of the earth's history, the principal components of this global system were the air, water, land, and ice that comprise the physical environment of our planet and the plants, animals, and humans living in that environment. Over the last century, however, human activities have had an increasingly important role in global environmental change.
Human impacts on the environment have increased enormously as the world's population has grown and the scale of human activities such as industry, agriculture, and extraction of natural resources has increased. Industrial emissions into the atmosphere can influence climate. Changes in land use, such as clearing forests for agricultural production, can disrupt natural ecosystems and affect the chemistry of the atmosphere.
Human activities affect the environment, and human life and society are affected in many important ways by changes in the global environmental system. Droughts cause crop failures, food shortages, malnutrition and starvation. Persistent drought can turn fertile agricultural land into desert. Shifts in ocean circulation and temperature affect the productivity of fisheries. Melting of polar ice could raise ocean levels enough to threaten coastal cities. Climate variability may bring more severe storms and increased loss of lives and property to some regions and more benign weather to others.
Global environmental change is one of the greatest challenges that humanity faces today. Those who make policy and decisions for our society need better tools to help them face this challenge. Those tools must be forged through improved understanding of the behavior of the global system that defines the environment of our planet and the options that are available for responding to changes in this complex system.

Changes for 2014
2013: Strong growth across digital channels
Dec 30, 2013
There's a lot to celebrate at The Atlas Society this year, including the fact that our digital channels performance met, and in some cases greatly exceeded expectations. We want to thank you, our supporters, for making this possible.
Load time and page speed metrics (which are directly related to viewership results) indicate we edged out direct and indirect competitors—even other Drupal sites known industry-wide for their speed, like The Economist and big-budget sites like CNN.com. As we were collecting and analyzing these site performance metrics, we were busy implementing three new technologies to boost site speed further. When it comes to online delivery of content, as with all businesses, there is no "arriving"—instead, there's a need for continual improvement and adaptation.
When we switched to Drupal in 2010 as our content management system, we knew it had a great track record in facilitating the best possible results in search engine optimization. Prior to the site launch in 2010, an SEO strategy was devised and implemented. That strategy ranged from the choice of Drupal, down to specific modules, and coding on thousands of pages of content. Some of that coding is static, some is added every time a piece of content in developed. And we're constantly scanning the industry for the best tools, strategies, and tactics, to further boost the visibility and performance of our online initiatives. So, while we can't share our "secret sauce," the recipe continues to yield strong results, and the ingredients are always changing. This is all in service of the "main dish" of course: the content.
So what exciting things are ahead in 2014? If you haven't received our Annual Report or the latest member letter from our intrepid CEO Aaron Day, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you'd like to contact Aaron directly to discuss organization intitiatives planned for the new year, you can reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As always, we're grateful and inspired by the partnership that we hold with you, our supporters. You actions in supporting TAS financially, as well as sharing TAS content, emailing articles to friends, posting reviews of our books on Amazon.com, rating our content pages, or commenting on the pages of this site, all contribute to and are key to our success.

Countdown for matching campaign by Aaron Day
"Our donors have been so impressed with our progress that they have committed to match up to $200K in donations if we raise $200K new or increased donations from a broad public campaign to increase general donor support and engagement. I'm writing to ask for your support to help us achieve an even wider impact. A gift of $500 would be worth $1000 if received December 31."
The Atlas Society at Libertopia 2013
Speaker James Peron, in his talk "The Culture of Liberty," reflected on Hayek's desire for a culture which embraced change courageously, warning that conservatives and timid people alike would use the government to prevent change. In "Misogyny, Homophobia, and Empire," Angela Keaton argued that abusive power structures in society mirrored a larger structure of state abuse against citizenry. Other key presenters included Jennifer Grossman, CEO of Jag TV; Matt Amberson of DeadEasyLife.com; Michael Badnarik, author of Good To Be King: The Foundation of our Constitutional Freedom; Jeff Berwick of The Dollar Vigilante; and Jayant Bhandari, entrepreneur and investment advisor.
In addition to the talent and diversity of the speakers, there was an interesting make-up of attendees. If mainstream libetarianism is already a fringe movement, then the Libertopia crowd is the fringe of the fringe. Here were the intellectual suits and the pressed linen of the West coast entrepreneurs, as expected, but also rugged rural anarchists and sweet California star-children, drawn to libertarianism as much for its "peace and love" as for its economic feasibility.
Introducing searchable video
Feb 22, 2013
by Sherrie Gossett
Videos have famously lagged far behind text when it comes to searchability. Apart from the textual data associated with videos, it's been largely impossible to benefit from the many types of search engine optimization available for text
I was intrigued when MIT announced in 2007 that it had developed a video search capability by using speech recognition software to create a transcript and then applying textual search. The technology was available to students wishing to search certain MIT video lectures. Since then multiple iterations of this approach have been developed, some better than others. Two years ago MIT Technology Review reported on TalkMiner, a tool that scans lecture videos for words used in presentation slides, (The tool was developed by the Fuji Xerox Palo Alto Laboratory in California.)
"It gives you a good shot at finding something that wasn't mentioned in the title or abstract but is buried deep inside the video," Larry Rowe, president of FXPAL, told the magazine.
The need for good video search capabilities is clear: who wants to wade through an hour or more of video just to find that passage that you remember and want to revisit? Even forwarding and rewinding through 15 minutes of video can be frustrating. Add to this the explosion in popularity of video on the internet and it's clear why so many smart minds have been focused on a breakthrough in this area. (This is the year that video will account for nearly 90% of all consumer IP traffic according to Cisco Visual Networking Index.)
So we're excited to make video search available on the Atlas Society site now, thanks to the brainiacs over at Wistia.com, in partnership with 3Play Media, What you get: a simple, intuitive interface which allows you to search and interact with video content. Examples are here, here and here.
So what the heck can you do with this?
Take a look at our Atlas University video on "Appreciating reason." As you play the video the transcript scrolls along in real time. If you want to disable the scroll function, just click on the blue icon at top right.
Print a transcript
Right next to the blue lock icon is a printer icon. Click on that to open the transcript in a printer-friendly mode, click print, and you're good to go.
Searching inside the video
You can search the transcript without interrupting video playback.
Once you enter a search term, the total number of instances of that term will be displayed graphically as white vertical lines above the search box. In the example at left, you can see that in this video lecture there are 5 instances of the term "religion." You can click on any of the white lines to jump to that instance in the transcript and the video will jump to that place. Or you can scroll down the transcript and view your term highlighted. Click on any highlighted term (or any word for that matter) and the video will jump to that point.
Wistia first grabbed my attention when I heard about their superior metrics, which include heat maps! (Yes, heat maps!) That led to us using Wistia's hosting services.
So if your liberty-based organization is looking for a way to up your video impact you might want to check out the Wistia value proposition.
And just to tantalize you, here's an image of one of their heat maps:

TAS, Students Converge in Washington
Feb 22, 2013
This weekend, more than 1,400 students and alumni gathered in Washington for the sixth annual International Students For Liberty Conference, and The Atlas Society was there in force to spread our open Objectivist message and connect with students from around the country and around the world.
Atlas Society staff members gave six talks, several of them to packed breakout rooms. Edward Hudgins' presentation on "Republicans, Libertarians, and What Is Really Possible in Politics" drew the attention of Red Alert Politics, too. David Kelley's talk contrasted Ayn Rand with another advocate of liberty popular among students, Friedrich Hayek; Alexander R. Cohen connected Rand to John Locke in his talk on "Atheism, Human Nature, and the Philosophy of the Declaration of Independence."
In his talk, Aaron Day, himself a resident of New Hampshire, explored whether initiatives such as the Free State Project are actually creating real-life Galt's Gulches. Day, a serial entrepreneur, also participated in a panel on entrepreneurship organized by Alumni For Liberty. William R Thomas addressed popular "Myths about Ayn Rand and Objectivism." And in a second talk, Cohen explored whether rights principles apply to how universities—which generally don't use force—govern student life.
Through our partnership with Students For Liberty, The Atlas Society obtained a prominent table outside the conference's main hall. There, we gave out material on our ideas and the opportunities we offer students—and we got about 10 percent of conference attendees to sign up for more information. Some also signed up for Objectivist activism kits from TAS. We exhausted our supply of "Who Is John Galt?" stickers and gave out hundreds of copies of Thomas's book Radical for Capitalism and a new collection, Myths about Ayn Rand, featuring essays by Kelley, Thomas, Cohen, and Laurie Rice.
During the conference, Aaron Rainwater interviewed students about the influence Ayn Rand has had on their intellectual and political lives.
From a roundtable of a dozen individuals six years ago, Students For Liberty has grown to a network of 900 student groups, including some dedicated to Objectivism. The "International" in the name of its flagship conference is no hyperbole: SFL is active in Europe, Africa, and Latin America as well as the United States. SFL is led by an Objectivist graduate student in philosophy, Alexander McCobin, and with the assistance of The Atlas Society, it has recently launched an Objectivism initiative.
Through and beyond our work with SFL, The Atlas Society continues to prioritize outreach to students. We are making staff members available to speak at SFL regional conferences and on individual campuses. We are producing activism materials for campus clubs. And this year, our Atlas Summit will begin with a special day for students, featuring a systematic introduction to the Objectivist philosophy.
The Atlas Society at Students For Liberty Regional Conferences
Oct 29, 2012
UDATE: Attention SFL Regional Conference Directors! The Atlas Society has SPEAKERS available for SFL Regional Conferences in 2014! See our staff list. Contact Laurie Rice at email@example.com for details.
Students For Liberty, with their boundless energy and persistent success, are easily compared to a force of nature—and their annual regional conferences are no exception. The conference season begins like a single leaf turning yellow on a tree or the first migratory bird crossing the sky: someone mentions that he'll be in a particular college town for a conference, someone else comments on looking forward to a popular liberty speaker. Then, one day, the excitement is in full color and volume, due to the strategic planning and internet savvy of SFL's staff. Once the regional conference dates are set in mid-July, online channels are surged with announcements—emails, Web site posts, Twitter feeds, shared pictures, Facebook cover banners, status updates, and memes—all toward the good of a nation-wide (and increasingly world-wide), months-long rally of liberty in the fall. SFL will have hosted a total of 15 regional conferences across the U.S. (and five European conferences) by the end of the rush on November 17.
As part of The Atlas Society's ongoing alliance with Students For Liberty, and in our mission to promote Open Objectivism, TAS has dispatched staff members to a number of SFL's conferences. On October 13, TAS Founder David Kelley was the keynote at the regional conference in Dallas, Texas, where he spoke about the primacy of the individual as the basis for liberty. Dr. Kelley's keynote speech was so appreciated that he received a standing ovation from the audience. Alexander Cohen, Managing editor of TAS's Business Rights Center, attended Regional Conferences in Tempe, Arizona, on October 20 and in New York City on October 27; Cohen and TAS Director of Advocacy Ed Hudgins will attend the Philadelphia Conference on November 10; and Assistant to the COO Aaron Rainwater will be at the Northwestern conference on November 3 and at the Denver, Colorado conference on November 10. Will Thomas, TAS Director of Programs, will attend the Boston conference on November 3, where he will host a table and give a talk on "Objectivism in Liberty."
I attended the conference in Gainesville, Florida on October 13, where I represented TAS, expanded our network, discussed the ideas of Objectivism and Ayn Rand with other attendees, gave away all my Atlas Shrugged Part 2 T-shirts, and offered resources and information to students. Speakers at the Florida conference included Sharon Harris of Advocates for Self-Government, Professor Harold Orndoff of the Institute for Humane Studies speaker series, and Professor Sam Staley of Florida State University. Professor Nikolai Wenzel, also of the IHS speaker series, gave a lively talk about the nature of a free market in contrast to the government regulations which caused the economic crisis. Opening and closing keynote speakers were Lawrence W. Reed, President of the Foundation for Economic Education, who spoke about "The Unsung Heroes of Liberty," and Tom Palmer, VP of the Atlas Network and Cato Senior Fellow, who spoke on the message of his new book, After The Welfare State. (Followers of TAS may remember David Kelley's essay, "Ayn Rand and Capitalism: The Moral Revolution" in The Morality of Capitalism, a similar joint project of the Atlas Network and Students For Liberty.) A student panel with Colin Harris, David Deerson, Zac Corbett, Michael Zeman, and Kate Franzese featured best practices to promote liberty and strategies for the success of student groups. To that end, The Atlas Society has also hosted efforts with Students For Liberty to provide Objectivist resources to student groups, including the availability of TAS staff as speakers and student scholarships to TAS's annual conference, The Atlas Summit.
I would highly recommend that TAS readers attend a regional conference by Students For Liberty—everyone is welcome (not just students), the events feature quality speakers, they are well-organized, the topics are important and of immediate relevance, the attendees are bright and engaging, the cost is little to nothing, and the energy is irresistable. Check to see if there is an upcoming conference in your area. I and my colleagues at The Atlas Society look forward to our ongoing work with the Students For Liberty and to The Atlas Society's presence at the 2013 International Students For Liberty Conference in Washington, D.C., February 15-17.
UPDATE: November 12, 2012. The Students For Liberty Philadelphia Regional Conference was covered by Michelle Ma in The Daily Pennsylvanian. Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged are mentioned and Ed Hudgins' speech, "Fighting For Freedom Against Re-Elected Obama" is cited extensively. Read the article at The Daily Pennsylvanian.
UPDATE: Our condolences go out to the friends, family, and community of Andrew Kaluza, who died in July of 2014. He is pictured above with Ken Stanford and TAS's founder David Kelley at the 2012 Dallas Regional Conference.
Getting Ayn Rand Right
"Ayn Rand defended individual freedom" is the newest in exasperated articles calling out mainstream journalists for their misrepresentation of Ayn Rand and her ideas. The item is by Amanda Carey and Justin Lesniewski and it appears at
DoubleThink Online, a magazine of America's Future Foundation. TAS readers may remember Justin Lesniewski as the intern on the set of Atlas Shrugged Part 2 who gained his position at the movie by way of an essay contest.
In the context of Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as a vice-presidential running mate, The Atlas Society's release of an audio of Paul Ryan at a 2005 celebration of Ayn Rand, and other Rand-positive remarks by Ryan, the flood of media surrounding the Ryan-Rand connection has made numerous errors in representing Rand's ideas.
Carey and Lesniewski have written a confrontation for journalists and a perspective piece for "anyone who admires, appreciates, or respects the ideas of philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand." For those Rand-enthusiasts, it's a relatable description of each disappointing encounter with yet another "short-sighted straw [man] and underdeveloped ad [hominem]." The article highlights innacuracies in publications such as The Huffington Post, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The New Yorker. Carey and Lesniewski explain:
We want to clear the air. Nowhere does Rand say that every rich person is good and every poor person is evil, that money should be stockpiled by any means possible, or that people should be treated like objects. We can only conclude that those who state otherwise are willfully trying to distort and misrepresent her ideas.
Similarly, The Atlas Society works to "clear the air" and hold journalists accountable. In our Myths About Ayn Rand section, we debunk common misconceptions about Rand and her works (including two of the myths mentioned above: Ayn Rand Was Simply Pro-Wealthy and Pro-Business and Ayn Rand Was For Dog-Eat-Dog Selfishness.) Alongside writers such as Carey and Lesniewski, The Atlas Society and our members can help to hold the media accountable for the portrayal of Rand's ideas. Ultimately, we seek to educate people about Ayn Rand and the ideas of Objectivism. Journalists looking to write correctly about Rand's ideas should start here. We also welcome questions about Objectivism here.

Students, Scholars Discuss Foundations of Ethics at Graduate Seminar
What can science teach us about the choice to think and how to strengthen our ability to focus? What should Objectivists make of claims that humans have desires wired into us by evolution? And just what is the choice to live, and is there a basis for saying that anyone who does not make that choice is wrong? These were some of the questions students and scholars investigated at the Atlas Society Graduate Seminar on the foundations of morality last week.
Student-led sessions included a workshop on a forthcoming paper on whether life or happiness is the ultimate value and a presentation by psychiatrist Ray Raad on scientific research into free will. Raad later commented: "Putting together a presentation, in particular, helped me to learn about one area of Objectivism in more depth and to understand how it relates to recent empirical studies. I came away with a deeper appreciation of Ayn Rand's many insights and the connections among the many principles in the Objectivist system of thought."

The Graduate Seminar's longstanding lead faculty, TAS founder David Kelley and Director of Programs William R Thomas, were joined this year by two TAS staff members who were teaching the GradSem for the first time and two outside scholars: University of Oklahoma Professor Emerita and George Mason University Senior Fellow Neera K. Badhwar, Rockford College Assistant Professor Shawn Klein, Business Rights Center Managing Editor Alexander R. Cohen, and Director of Advocacy Edward Hudgins.
Curiosity on Mars!
Today NASA's Curiosity Rover landed on Mars.
Its advanced instruments should bring humanity closer to knowing whether life exists on the Red Planet. I discussed the "Spiritual Significance of Mars" during that planet's closest approach to Earth in human history.
I believe that private companies will lead the way to humans landing on Mars. SpaceX founder Elon Musk has said Mars is his ultimate target. In "SpaceX's Entrepreneurial Triumph," you can read my reflections on the recent successful berthing of that company's Dragon capsule with the International Station.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY - Investigators say two people with high-powered rifles and dressed in camouflage opened fire on a group of illegal border crossers.
The suspects are still at large.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada says it happened early Friday morning up Peck Canyon, just west of Rio Rico.
He says, "the suspects opened fire on them. The people who crossed the border spread, they scattered. Four of the seven people were able to make it up to the Rio Rico area and one of them had been shot."
Sheriff Estrada says the gun shot wound to the person's forearm is non-life threatening.
Estrada says the suspects were probably after drugs. But he fears the shooters might have been United States citizens. "They may be individuals who may be hunting illegal border crossers. That's really a big concern for us," he says.
He also says this same group of crossers found skeletal remains of a man from Mexico. "We don't know if that individual died of the terrain, some health problems he had or he might have been a victim. This is what happens up those valleys and canyons," Estrada says.
He says he hopes the investigation will determine if U.S. citizens are shooting at people crossing the border but says, "I hate to think that is what we're looking at but we're not going to dismiss any possibilities."
The group of illegal border crossers were turned over to the Border Patrol and are suspected of transporting drugs or people.

MANY AUDI CLUB GOLDEN GATE members got a special treat at the Audi Club Tech Clinic event hosted by Audi Stevens Creek in San Jose, CA. A 1982 ur quattro pulled into the dealer parking lot. Immediately, club members turned their attention to the legendary ur quattro.
AUTO RACING AFICIONADOS CAN typically be broken down into two camps: road racing and oval racing. Series like Le Mans, Formula 1, and the many races by organizations like SCCA, PCA, and BMW CCA come to mind when thinking of road courses. Ovals are primarily associated with NASCAR, Indy Racing League, and many variants of dirt tracks.
As experienced drivers, there are so many things we automatically do when driving a car. However, unless you have recently instructed a teen driver of your own on how to drive, it's hard to remember how clueless we all were when we started driving. On a hot Saturday at the end of July in Northern Virginia, the Potomac Chesapeake Chapter (PCC) of the Audi Club ran its first teen driving school in recent history to help educate our newest drivers.
The 1st Annual Autobahn Night for the Concours d'Elegance of America was held at St John's in Plymouth, MI, Friday, July 25th. This was a fabulous evening to view all German makes from street performance to racing, old to new. There was attendance by not only ACNA, but also MBCA and BMWCCA. Well over 130 German vehicles parked right in from the St John's Inn hosting the Concours d'Elegance.
For fellow club members, "Driving durch (through) Deutschland" the ACNA European Summer Breeze Driving Experience was to be one of the highlights of the 2014 summer. It began on a balmy late June evening in the Schwabing district of München. All gathered for a quick intro, a glass of the bubbly then off in taxis to the Spatenhaus on der Oper restaurant for a traditional and hearty German Abendessen (evening meal).
It was an excellent turnout Sunday, March 23rd for Audi Club Northwest's season opening Son of Quattrofest high-performance driving event (HPDE) at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA. Everyone had a fantastic day of lapping filled with the spirit of learning as led by our experienced instructor crew and excellent board members. The weather even produced an unseasonably dry track all day and warm sunshine in the afternoon. And as an extra surprise, our special guests Eric Weidle and Steve Kohn from Audi of America (AoA), brought along the all-new 2015 Audi A3.
FOR 18 YEARS, AUDI CLUB GOLDEN GATE has been hosting Marin Drive. While the drive has had a variety of routes and lunch spots over the years, it always takes advantage of the winding roads that travel through the picturesque Marin and Sonoma valleys.
COMBINE THE BEAUTIFUL ARIZONA landscape with Audi's R8 supercar and you have the makings of a spectacular drive event. The Arizona Chapter's R8 exclusive "Drive to Dine" was held this past October under beautiful blue skies and perfect driving conditions, for one of the most exciting chapter events of the year. This was the first of a planned trifecta of annual R8 events, gathering the chapter's R8 owners to share their cars and friendship on a fabulous drive.
LOOKING AT SOME OF THE BEST known auto racing dynasties where the motoring passion is passed down from one generation to the next, one can't but ask if the talent is inherited or developed. Names like Andretti, Fittipaldi, Earnhardt, Allison, and Bell come to mind when fathers, sons, and often grandsons enter and excel in the field of motorsports. And one can't help but wonder if Dee Ann Andretti, Mario's wife and Marco's mother had ever wished that her son had chosen a somewhat safer profession.

Sydney, Australia.
Title reads 'New Building Method Helps Pedestrians'.
Several long shots of new office blocks in Sydney, Australia. Various shots showing how the large buildings are supported by several "gathered columns" - four columns gathered to one base. The columns give more room at pavement level for pedestrians and also widen out at the top to support these large buildings.

I hope you can help. How to handle having to rake up fallen leaves on new baby grass? We have a ton of oak/maple trees that lose all their leaves between October and December. You can't imagine how much raking we do in the Fall. We just moved in last year. Well, we need to plant grass seed for the front/side yard.
So we plan to plant grass seeds early September, so that really only gives us 1month before the leaves fall. My plan is to remove weeds, aerate, put down topsoil/compost, seed, water, and baby the new grass. But what am I to do when the leaves fall? I can't leave them there, because they'll block out sunlight (yes, we have a lot of leaves).
Would love your advice per your experience, etc. thank you very much,

Would a leaf blower work? It might be easier on your new grass than a rake. |
wiley_gardener said: Would a leaf blower work? It might be easier on your new grass than a rake. That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe you could blow the leaves off of that area, and onto an area that you could walk on/mow to collect them. |

Yup, that's what I did in October 2005, used a leaf blower. |

blow them to one spot where you can turn leaves into compost. |

I am considering a Catalpa for my Salt Lake City yard. Please talk me into the Catalpa - it's so darn pretty! Do the long, cigar shaped fruits drive you crazy? Have you ever had one snap in a microburst? Feel free to talk me out of the Catalpa if you hate yours...but please suggest a different tree if you don't like the Catalpa. :) Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The huge bean/seedpods are interesting to me. Don't have any reason to drive me crazy. As far as litter, both my Catalpas are located in large berm area with wood chips not grass so the pods blend right in. I had a large branch snap off in a microburst, but I don't find them especially brittle/break-prone compared to other fast growing trees. We lost the top and large section of a Locust tree, Ash, and Chitalpa in that same microburst. They look pretty bad in the fall as the leaves get the first frost and look like wilted lettuce. I understand they are prone to a certain gigantic catalpa caterpillar infestation (a giant Sphinx moth). Fisherman prize these worms for bate. The trees recover quickly from what have heard and I think they would be kind of cool to show the kids, but I have not been so fortunate as to have had them. As far as talking you into the tree, I just think they are very beautiful form if you have the room. They are usually non-symetrical but very balanced and graceful even when gigantic! They send a wonderful smell through the yard when in bloom. Just like a huge lovely lady. I don't know of anything that looks so tropical in our climate except maybe the Empress tree. I have associated them with Pioneer buildings in the area. Seems they planted quite a few of these that are going on 100 years or older and just look more magnificent with age. Unlike Cottonwood where you get large sections dying off or growing out of control, this (relatively) shortlived tree seems dignified right up till the end. |
I second delray's comments! I purchased two bareroot Catalpa's 8 years ago. They're at about 10" across the trunk now...fast growing. Drought tolerant. Seed pods end up in mulched areas. When they explode in the fall...that's cool. Almost like a cattail. Love the tropical looking large leaves (may get hail damage) and fragrant large blooms at the end of June. Wish I could get those cool caterpillars! |
- Posted by Cluelessgardener z5 UT (My Page) on Sat, Jun 11, 05 at 13:46
Where did you purchase your Catalpas? A local nursery? A catalog? Thanks. |
I got one of mine at Linden nursery (10 ft tall 2" caliper) for about $70 and the other "Purple Catalpa" ( 8' tall 1" caliper) $20 at Vineyard Nursery in Provo Cooks (Linden) Wasatch Shadows (Sandy) and Glover nursery (West Jordan) had them as probably most larger nurseries do. |
I got mine in bare root form from the City of Denver during their annual "Denver Digs Trees" program every spring. You may also try the arbor foundation. |
I love my catalpa but have looked all over to find out how to proagate another from the seeds of my tree anyone know how? or where I might get that info? |
Hi Suze, Perhaps in the fall when seeds explode from the pods. I've had a few new tree sprouts in my mulched bed beneath my tree. |
Hi all, it has been a long time since I have been able to check out the list. I wanted to chime in on the Catalpa. It is a beautiful tree and I can even grow it in the hot So Ca. desert, I am excited to see that I will be able to grow it in my new location in zone 4-5 of Wy. You can grow these trees very easily from seed, I had 5 in gal pots and sent 2 off to my daughter for her home in zone 8-9, they took off like crazy, the other 3 are waiting to be transplanted in there new home. So save some of those beans, open them up and you will have tones of seeds. HTH, galynn |

There another option: Coppice, or stool, the young tree and it will grow to a large shrub size, and will not bloom. It is very attractive done this way, the leaves are much larger than usual, and the efect is rather tropical. mkp |

My uncle has two of these trees on his farm in a valley in Middle TN. I don't know if they grew there naturally or were planted. They get swarmed with worms every year since I was a kid. You can shake a limb and they will fall out of the tree or you can pick them off leaves by hand. There isn't a leaf on the tree that doesn't have two or three of these. They're harmless. By the time the worms or caterpillars are done the trees are bare. But they live every year and do well like a cycle and have done so for twenty or so years. Anyway we loved to fish with them. The catfish and other smaller panfish really like them. My uncle has even frozen them in containers to use throughtout the season. yuck. |
My grandpa and Aunt bot have Catalpa trees in their yards. They are beautiful trees and hold great sentemental value for me. However...they drop ALOT! I would advise anyone who is considering to plant this tree to not plant it near a sidewalk, driveway or patio. When the flowers and leaves drop they are messy and slippery. Kids love to play with the long pods like swords. The flowers smell wonderful! |
There was a large Catalpa already growing in the yard of the house I bought about 15 years ago. I have a feeling it was a volunteer, but who knows? It is growing right next to the house in the backyared - I mean like inches away from the rear wall - definitely not an ideal location, so I can't imagine that anyone planted it there deliberately. Someday I may have to have it removed, before it damages the foundation. It is a very pretty tree, the leaves give wonderful shade for the patio area I put in. It has never had the catapillar infestation mentioned in several posts; the adult moth must not live in this area. I must say I have a love-hate relationship with this tree. It is very messy with the dropping of the flowers and pods all over and I grumble every year about the clean up - again, this is due to the less than ideal area where it was allowed to grow - but it also has lovely leaves, the flowers are pretty, and the resultant pods hanging from the tree are very interesting looking. And when the weather gets cold enough, the leaves drop all at once so you only have to rake them up once, which is a plus! The pods stay on for most of the winter and because of them and the nice contorted branches of the tree, the Catalpa has good winter interest, too. Holly |
The catalpas are blooming everywhere (but my backyard!) right now, and I'm starting to fall in love with this native tree. The folks around here seem to think of it as a "trash tree", but I was wondering about digging up a smaller one and moving it into my large, sun-drenched yard so the dogs can have some shade. I live in east Tennessee (Greeneville). Any thoughts about how to make this operation more likely to be a success? I figure if I can get a 3-6 year old tree, I'm that much further ahead than planting a seed or getting some bare-root tree that's not really from around here. |

We planted 4 of these in our front yard as our street trees (spaced every 20 feet between the sidewalk and street). I think they were about 3-4 in diameter when we planted them 3 years ago, and they're growing nicely. I don't mind the seed pods, and kids love them. I'm not sure if they'll bother me more when the trees get bigger and there are more. My MIL said they had one at one of their houses and she thought it was ugly, but DH has fond memories of "sword fighting" with his brother with the seed pods. The only drawback IMO is that they leaf out relatively late and their leaves are the first to turn yellow, then quickly brown and dead in the fall. But they do have some winter interest with the seed pods. |
I have a request by a customer of mine to make an all natural soap that smells like Catalpa Blossoms. To my knowledge I have never smelled them. Would someone kindly describe the scent to me or tell me what they smell similar to (for example: a lemony sweet floral or a peppery warm rose)? Thanks so much! |

The GBPUSD pushed back above the 1.6183 level where the 200 hour MA was found and the move triggered stops and a move to new day highs. The trendline that held this morning was broken at 1.6194. Stay above area (to 1.6190) and the bulls remain in control. Move below and the failure of the break puts into question the buyers conviction.
Above the next target is the 100 hour MA at the 1.6222 level currently.

[731] CDX2 Expression as a Potential Surrogate Marker for CpG Island Methylator Phenotype in Colorectal Cancers.
Inti Zlobec, Michel Bihl, Anja Foerster, Alex Rufle, Alessandro Lugli. University Hospital Basel, Switzerland
Background: CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) is currently being investigated for its role in colorectal cancer pathogenesis and impact on clinical outcome. However, the assessment of CIMP in routine diagnostic pathology is complicated by the technical challenge and costs associated with its assessment. The aim of this study was to identify a protein marker capable of predicting CIMP status from a panel of 50 potential candidates.
Design: 404 patients were included in this study. MSI-H was defined as instability in ≥2 Bethesda-panel markers. CIMP-high was defined as methylation in ≥4/5 loci including CACNA1G, CDKN2A, CRABP1, MLH1, and Neurog1. Using tissue microarrays, 50 tumor and immune cell markers were investigated by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Only 7/50 markers were associated with CIMP-high including increased numbers of granzyme B+ (p=0.002; AUC:0.65), and CD8+ (p<0.001; AUC:0.66) cells, increased tumor cell expression of nuclear MST1 (p=0.012; AUC:0.67), and loss of cytoplasmic RKIP (p=0.007; AUC: 0.64), membranous/cytoplasmic EphB2 (p=0.007; AUC:0.7), and cytoplasmic CK20 (p=0.002; AUC:0.67). However, loss of cytoplasmic CDX2 was the strongest predictor of CIMP-high (p<0.001; AUC: 0.81). Of the 206 tumors with diffuse CDX2 staining, 202 (98%) were CIMP-negative/low. Similarly, of the 23 CIMP-high cases, 19 (82.6%) showed a loss of CDX2 expression.
Conclusions: CIMP-high colorectal cancers show a considerable loss of CDX2 expression. Since loss of CDX2 has previously been associated with BRAF mutation and MSI-H, two features closely related to CIMP, these preliminary results suggest that CDX2 may be useful as a possible surrogate marker for the determination of CIMP status.

London The Car Man Old Vic. ; 44-207/369-1722. Matthew Bourne's Tony-winning Swan Lake caused a sensation in 1998 by casting only men to play the swans. Here, Bourne takes the opera Carmen ("Car Man," get it?), sets it in an auto-repair shop, and beefs up the plot with elements of film noir and 1960's French new-wave cinema.
The Mikado Savoy Theatre, through Jan. 13; 44-207/836-8888. In Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular operetta, the Japanese setting is merely a smoke screen for a witty parody of English mores. Nanki-Poo, the Mikado's son, agrees to be beheaded if he can be married to Yum-Yum for one month. The new production marks the operetta's return to the Savoy, where it premiered in 1885.
My Zinc Bed Royal Court Jerwood Theatre, through Oct. 28; 44-207/565-5000. David Hare directs the premiere of his own play in which a young poet, hired by an entrepreneur, pushes his luck by falling in love with his new boss's wife, played by Julia Ormond.
Napoleon Shaftesbury theatre, opens Oct. 17; 44-207/379-5399. The diminutive leader's life gets the song-and-dance treatment – from his first waltz with a young Josephine to the battle of Waterloo. Directed by the iconoclastic–and often controversial–Francesca Zambello.
New York The Seussical Richard Rodgers Theatre, opens Nov. 9; 212/307-4107. A musical based on the books of Dr. Seuss, with songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, whose Ragtime score earned them a 1998 Tony.
The Last of the Thorntons Signature Theatre Co., Dec. 3–31; 212/244-7529.

Denver Tantalus Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Oct. 21–Dec. 2; 303/893-4100. Named for the Greek figure who betrayed the gods and was punished with eternal hunger and thirst, this 10-play cycle retraces the events of the Trojan War. The production is directed by Sir Peter Hall (of the Royal Shakespeare Company), who gives a surprisingly contemporary twist to ancient myths. Tantalus's fate hangs over the entire play, as mortals like him (and us) wrestle with what remains just out of reach.

Hitting the High Notes When the Palais Garnier opened in Paris in 1875, it stood as a glittering monument to the Second Empire. The Beaux-Arts theater took 14 years to build and cost a staggering 35 million francs. Today, the Garnier is in the midst of an ambitious restoration project. The façade is once again bright and shiny, the loggia all colored marble and mosaics.

New York Fidelio Metropolitan Opera, Oct. 13–Jan. 11; 212/362-6000.

The Met makes good with a new production of the 19th-century composer's ode to revolutionary ideals.
The Love for Three Oranges New York City Opera, Oct. 17–Nov. 5; 212/870-5570.

John List
The officers made their way through the empty dining room and into the pantry, where they noticed dark stains on the walls. In the kitchen, the checkerboard floor was stained with dark streaks. So was the hallway beyond, and they noticed that a terrible smell was getting stronger from down that direction. They knew that something terrible had happened. It appeared as if someone had tried unsuccessfully to clean up blood. They followed the stains down the hallway toward the ballroom. In one area near the fireplace, there appeared to be mounds of clothing stacked up, and the odor in there was heavy. When their eyes adjusted to the dark, they looked at four corpses placed side by side on Boy Scout sleeping bags. There were rags over their faces. Trails of blood up to where they lay indicated that they had been dragged there from other rooms. The drama coach immediately identified them as Helen List and her three children.
The three children lay side by side, and Helen was placed at a T angle beyond their heads. Clearly they had been there for some time.
The officers checked the rest of the house while the eerie organ music continued to play, and soon found John List's mother, Alma, murdered in the attic. She had been closed into a storage hall off the kitchen, and a dishtowel was placed on her face. Her body had been oddly positioned on her back, knees spread and her calves under her, as if she had fallen to her knees and then gone over backwards. They lifted the towel and saw an expression of horror on her face. She had been shot above the left eye.
More police arrived and lights were brought in to reveal the killer's MO. Helen had been shot in the left side of the head in the kitchen and dragged by the feet down the hall to the ballroom. Her arms were heavily streaked with blood. The killer had left her with her nightgown ridden up, exposing her thighs. Her stomach was badly distended.
Patty lay on her left side. She was wearing a coat, as if she had just come in. She too had been shot in the head and then dragged to where she lay. Fred was on his stomach, also wearing a jacket. There was a pool of blood under his head. Brother and sister appeared to be merely asleep.
John Jr. was another matter. His winter jacket was unzipped, showing that he had been shot repeatedly, in the chest and face, an attack more savage than the others had suffered.
The house was searched to determine the killing pattern. Walls and floors were streaked with blood and efforts had been made to clean up. Blood-soaked towels and newspapers, now hardened, were found in paper bags in the ballroom and kitchen. It looked as if the killer had expected to take them out with the rest of the trash. Bullet holes in several walls indicated that many shots were fired.
It was Westfield's first murder in eight years, and it was a slaughter.

Maybell resident advocates to overturn the ban against Moffat County pot shops
Friday, February 7, 2014
When Colorado voters approved the sale of recreational marijuana, Maybell resident Kris Brannan was looking forward to growing the product and opening a retail pot shop and dispensary.
It would be a far more profitable way to use her 300 acres than just growing alfalfa, she said.
"There's a huge economic benefit for us now in the marijuana industry. I get ten cents a pound on my hay out here in May, or I can make $4,000 a pound selling marijuana," she said. "To me, as a farmer, I feel this is a huge economic advantage for all of us."
Brannan, got her cost estimates from the price recreational marijuana was going for in Denver, and cutting that in half to be conservative.
Brannan was disappointed when she realized Moffat County Commissioners had banned grow-ops and recreational shops within county limits. She was already in the process of opening her marijuana business, Nisbeth Gardens, when she learned about the ban.
"I have no idea what their reasoning is. I think it's a great money-maker," she said. "There's a lot of land out here that I could make marijuana on. I could get out of debt really quick."
Moffat County Commissioner Tom Mathers said the board was acting on behalf on the voters when they passed a year-long moratorium banning grow-ops and recreational sales of marijuana.
"We're going off a legal vote. The majority said they didn't want it. We put a one-year moratorium on it," he said. "When that year's up and we see how places are doing it."
But, Brannan said that puts her at a disadvantage. So, she put together a petition to press commissioners to overturn their ban or to put the ban on the November ballot: giving county voters the opportunity to overturn it.
"Since it's been legal in Steamboat (Springs) for recreational purposes there haven't been any incidents," she said. "So we will all be prepared for it to go to the voters. The economics are there. The jobs are there. We need help with our schools."
Mathers reiterated the board's decision was based on how the county voted on Amendment 64, the law that legalized recreational marijuana.
"She's got the right to run that petition. I don't know if the petition is going to make that much of a difference," he said. "If it passes then, we'll follow suit and do what our people tell us to do."
Shaun Hadley, owner of Craig's one medical marijuana dispensary, the Craig Apothecary, has one of Brannan's petitions at his business.
Hadley has faced frustrations with Craig City Council and the county. The city enacted a ban of their own against the sale of recreational marijuana in August, meaning that his business had to stick to selling medical marijuana.
"The council and commissioners are making decisions based on prejudice," he said.
Brannan expects the people of Moffat County will turn over the ban, she said.
"I don't think the voters will turn it down. I think they will pass this," she said.

By all means, put it to a vote -- perhaps Moffat County is a little less retrograde than it was a year ago. People will still use cannabis, grow it, and sell it. If it is important to you to keep burdening the criminal justice system with cases brought because people want to use cannabis in Moffat County and to keep making felons of them, then keep the ban on regulated sales -- pure stupidity!
Allen Hischke 11 months, 3 weeks ago
The only thing that is stupid is the government creating a new generation of stoners.
Sam Relaford 11 months ago
I agree! People used pot long before anyone every decided to make it legal. So whats going to stop them now? I think pot isn't any more different than achohol. You just need to use it responsibly , just like booze. Heck I used pot for a long time after my back was hurt in a auto accident ,and it helped me through the pain so I could sleep at night . I never wanted to start using stronger more dangerous drugs.I stopped using about 13 years ago and have no adverse side effects. So stop plugging up our courts with this and start focusing on the crimes that really hurt people. If you dont agree with smoking weed, then don't do it! Nobdy makes you smoke cigarettes or drink booze do they? How is this any different?
Ray Cartwright 10 months, 2 weeks ago
So I read this and got a picture in my mind of a truck load of Marijuana bales strapped on a semi headed to the barn. 300 acres of pot would be a lot of high. Makes me wonder if you measure yield like farmers do. Bushels/acre or joints/acre.

Gentle Readers & Clients,
Just a reminder that the 2005 Personal Income Tax Organizer is available for download. All 2004 tax and business clients should have received the organizer via email.
The Tax Organizer is a fill-in .PDF form that opens in Adobe Reader. Most everybody has that program these days but if not it's available for download here for free.
As Ever,
