Hello everybody!
I'm new to this, and gardening in general, and need suggestions as to what I should do with my tulip bulbs. I bought them in October, meaning to put them in the fridge etc, but totally forgot. They sat in a dark drawer in a cabinet in my appartment. I got them out today, and they've developed little 'tails'- yellow pointy bits, 1/2 inch-1 inch long. Can I still put them in the fridge and do the whole forcing thing, or should I plant them straight away? Thank you for any help you can give me. |

All you can do now is plant them or throw them away. Your post gives no clue to your zone so we can't guess if you will enough chilling temperatures left for your tulips. They will not be any good if saved for next year without planting. Al |

Ok I have an idea for you. it would really help if I knew what zone you were in. Try planting them is some dirt in a cool spot. thats dark, if you plant them and put them is a sunny spot thats warm they will grow too quickly and not produce any roots, what you want is for them to produce at least some roots, then they should be fine. Try putting them in pots and put them in the fridge Away from fruits, you can also put them in a garage thats dark. With any luck they will develop enough roots to grow and even bloom!, calistoga is right, not planting them will likely result in the death of the tulips. I hope this help give you some ideas, if you need more information on this idea just ask! |

So if it's a snake, you jump — but if it's a bunny?
"Your brain says it's fine," she says. But since the brain is pretty sensitive when it comes to false-positives, it's better to jump even though it's a stick than not to jump. "And there's a lot of biologically relevant stimuli that would trigger reactions from snakes, spiders, certain kinds of movement," she adds.
But while some of our responses are encoded by nature, other threat-detection stereotypes are social constructs that we've learned. "Through years and years of TV shows, for example, that have given your brain unconscious signals that one group is like this and another group is like that," Ito points out. "Well, then, maybe when you're walking down the street, you just unconsciously orient to those kinds of folks more."
In threatening environments, the brain is constantly on the lookout for danger. This same response is activated by the shoot/don't-shoot scenarios, where a brain might react faster to a black man as a threat (i.e., holding a gun) than a white man, resulting in the skewed results. But the brain also has a "conflict-monitoring" stage of decision-making where it tries to resolve two seemingly incongruent images (black guy without a gun) in order to make the correct choice.
Ito hasn't had a chance to do brain scans of the police officers who've done the simulations, but she says she suspects the results would show that through training, the officers have better developed the process of separating an actual threat from their initial bias. "The subtle influences that we have growing up are so powerful. We're talking about decades of influence," she explains. "And in the case of race, everything around us is giving us messages about the way different racial groups are, whether we realize it or not."
She points to the tiny voltage measurements that show where the participants' brains seemed to be separating black targets from white targets.
Is this what a stereotype looks like?
The trainers are in red shirts, standing behind four twenty-something police recruits in bulletproof vests.
"Shoot 'em six times, real quick," says one trainer. "Ready! Go!"
The recruits snatch the guns from their holsters and fire a quick volley of bullets into the paper targets about ten feet away. The blasts reverberate through the bunker-like firing range near Invesco Field that the DPD uses for training exercises.
"Again. Go!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
"Excellent. Okay, let's do it one-handed now. Go!"
Sergeant Marek "Ribs" Rybkowski stands behind the recruits, carefully watching to see whose hand dips and who has the best trigger control. He's going to show me the correct way to fire a gun using the department's shooting simulator, which is much more technologically advanced than the CUSP lab's simulator.
"Being police officers, we're responsible for every round that leaves the muzzle of the gun," Rybkowski explains. "We have to make sure that if we make the decision to shoot, obviously the ramifications to the public and to ourselves is serious."
While the paper targets have the familiar silhouette of a human, they also include the image of a gun. "Everything we shoot at has to have a threat on it," Rybkowski says. "So all of our shoot targets have a gun or some other type of weapon. We don't shoot at anything that isn't armed." The DPD started using this target in 1998.
That was the same year the department bought its first training simulator, the Range 2000. The string of events leading to its purchase stretched back to the 1985 shooting death of Leonard Zuchel. One evening that August, the manager of a McDonald's near downtown called police after the 26-year-old Zuchel created a disturbance. Officer Frederick Spinharney and another partner responded to the scene and found Zuchel on the street, arguing with two teenagers. As the officers approached, Zuchel spun around and Spinharney shot him, mistaking a pair of nail clippers the young man was holding for a knife. Zuchel's parents filed a lawsuit charging that police training was inadequate and that the city lacked "live" drills that would provide practice on when to shoot or not to shoot. A court agreed that "a direct connection existed between the inadequacy and the shooting," and in 1993 the family was awarded $330,000. That case led to cities around the country adopting greater requirements in decisional shooting training.
The same year as that verdict, Spinharney shot and injured another man during a domestic-disturbance call. In 1996, after Spinharney fired into a car during a traffic stop, then-chief David Michaud kicked him off the force. Two years later, Officer Robert Schneider, an expert in firearms training, testified at a civil-service hearing on Spinharney's dismissal. He criticized the city's decisional training efforts since Zuchel's death and said that Spinharney had received no additional training of any kind after his three shooting incidents. (Schneider went on to file his own lawsuit against the city, claiming that he had been transferred as a trainer in the SWAT division as retaliation for his damning testimony. A jury awarded him $75,000 in damages.)
While Rybkowski acknowledges that high-profile shooting incidents prompted some of the alterations in DPD firearms training, he says the changes are more a reflection of the general evolution of police-training techniques nationwide. These days, the city is using an upgraded video simulator called the MILO Range. While the DPD has two other video simulators in buses that rotate between districts so that officers can complete their required regular training, the MILO is a live-fire simulator, with a twenty-by-twenty-foot screen and speakers. A video is projected onto the screen; behind it are infrared lights that show where bullets pass through the paper.

Hi all,
My son has poison ivy all over him. We got rid of it in our backyard over a year ago. He has been playing in the woods, but I guess I didn't realize you could get it before anything had leafed out. Have you heard of that happening? We're wondering if it overwintered on his hat, which hadn't been washed......or a pair of leather gloves. Poor kid. It's so uncomfortable! None of the rest of us have it. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry Cathy, but you can tell your son that he's way behind some of us. I had a rash in January! Of course, since you don't have as much warm weather and sweat during the winter it isn't as bad and seems to go away faster, but that's small comfort when you realize there is no "off season" for the stuff. And yes, the oil will stay on whatever it contacts until you wash it off, and sometimes it takes a few cycles to fully get rid of it. The rash I currently have around my neck and the right side of my face came from my cat, who sleeps there. I have gotten a rash from rubber boots, old flipflops (poison ivy between the toes!!! aarrgghh) and coveralls that hung in the closet all summer. It has come to be a pretty constant condition anymore, and time is really the only cure. Boy oh boy, once the weather really warms up and those pores stay open, watch out. Hope your son gets to feeling better fairly soon...a bad case of pi is no fun! |

If you have a brush pile somewhere with dead poison ivy in it, he could get it from that too. If he has it on his face, he might need a trip to the doctor, especially if it's around his eyes. I have a lovely looking place on my chin right now from poison ivy. It finds me even when I try to hide from it. |
- Posted by CatherineT z5 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 9, 05 at 13:35
Thanks Dirtgirl and Christie, A couple years ago both my kids got it horribly. They were really gun-shy with being in the woods for a long time, but got over it..........and this is what happens! I'm very lucky. I just don't get it.....or I'll get one little spot that doesn't bother me. Too bad they didn't inherit my immunity! My son and husband have been clearing out tons of of honesuckle and brush from our ice storm, so I guess he could have gotten it anywhere. Sometimes we wonder about the dog giving it to them too. I need to invent a good concoction to take care care of it. Right now, the best thing seems to be zinc oxide. Thanks again. |
You can get a rash from the bare stems as well as the leaves, so you can get poison ivy all year round - my folks were out hiking in the early spring once when they were first married, got to feeling amorous - and ended up with poison ivy in places I don't want to think about! All from the innocuous, unidentifiable brown stems. |
Saltwater is great for Poison Ivy. When I got my first and only case of it (and it was a bad one), I went to the ocean and dipped. Of course you inlanders don't have much of that around. You might try a salt water soak in the tub, that is if the blisters aren't too deep. I have also used alum in water. It is the stuff you get in the spice aisle. It is used to cure pickles. I heard about this from a burn nurse. They used it in the burn hospital with burn patients. It is a great way to dry up blisters. I agree with DG, there is little to do but wait. Sometimes the docs will put you on prednisone if it is a bad enough case or if it is near the eyes. |
- Posted by CatherineT z5 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 9, 05 at 22:45
Oh Jill.........your poor parents! Vonyon......maybe I'll tell him to try an epsom salt bath. Thanks for that suggestion! |
Yah, that might give him some relief or try the alum to dry it up. Either way it will dry itself up, but the interim can be torturous. I had it so bad that it was interupting my sleep. My forearm (which was the worst part of the rash) was covered and had blown up to double it's size. That is why the doc gave me prednisone because it could have resulted in cellulitis. I looked like Popeye! The reason I got it so bad was that I was ripping up roots, and one had scraped the top layer of skin. Of course I didn't realize the roots were poison ivy. Ordinarily, I'm not very sensitive to the stuff. I have also read that your body's reaction will be worse when you have recently had it, so he may want to stay clear of the stuff for the rest of the year. Good luck. |
Baths with colloidal oatmeal can also help the itching. You can buy it at a drugstore (CVS, Eckerd, etc.) |

Poison ivy rash is a royal pain! For post contact, brown laundry soap and hot water can help to remove the oil (urioshol - spelling?). For some rashes, Tecnu works well ( it's a special soap/cleanser (OTC) that removes the oil and dries the skin (it really does dry the skin- upper peninsula winter type of dry skin). The worst part about it is that PI has the ability to cause the rash the whole year round, the worst rashes come from pulling it out during the dormant season, roots/stems without leaves. The hairy vine that you pull off a tree is really nasty- it bites back with a PI rash (if you are sensitive to it (most of us are - my opinion based on personal/others experience). I wound up using a weed-killer on it (reluctantly, PI is good bird food), in my yard, and my neighbor's yards in a selective fashion to eliminate as much of it as I could (my son, neighbor's grandchildren, other neighbor's grandchildren, and other neighbor's children are all susceptible to the rash), Best advice brown soap/hot water, to remove the oil (pre rash); Tecnu and antihistamines (for mild-moderate cases); see a doctor for severe cases-swelling etc. |
I despise you immune folks!!! If you were to win free gas for a year I would not be more jealous! My husband, who is one of the luckies, decided he did not like the big PI vine near the garage so he simply took hold of it, planted his feet and PULLED with all his might. It started to come out of the ground, but then the bark just started peeling off and the whole mess got slippery and hard to hold. When he let go to get a better grip, his hands were literally shiny with the oil and he turned towards me with this AWFUL EVIL LOOK...like Nicholson in that "Heeeeeere's Johnny!" moment in the Shining. Yes, I did run away. He didn't go so far as to actually rub the stuff on me, but if ever he needed to get back at me for something serious, I suspect that would be the first thing he'd think of. |
DG: And he didn't get it? Wow!! When I was a kid, I wanted to know what all the hoopla was about, so I broke a leaf of it and rubbed it on the top of my hand. It caused a tiny bump and a little itch. Stupid, I know, but I had always been one of those "prove it" types. I have been known to be able to walk through it and things like that, but when I pulled on a root, that is when I got it good. Like I said, the stuff broke the skin, so my guess is that it got directly into the inner tissue. It was horrible and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. All your hubby would need is to get it once good to know why you react as you do. |
- Posted by CatherineT z5 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 12, 05 at 20:12
Dirtgirl, I hate to tell you this, but I never get it!! I'm sure I'm in contact with it, but it just never develops on me. Sometimes I get a few weird little bumps, but no itching. I wonder if they did a study of people with fibromyalgia, they would find they tended to have less reaction. Sometimes I think, as part of my fibromyalgia, my sympathethic system is on constant overdrive. Maybe that helps to keep the reaction to PI down? I believe I had it bad once on my back when I was little. My mother set a bottle of pop on the counter for me to stare at and look forward to, and then she scrubbed the area with a brush and fels naptha, and that was the end of it. It's probably too scared to ever come back again! |
Catherine: I think you have something there. All of the autoimmune diseases do seem to keep other things away. Not that that is any consolation though. |

DG, I envy your husband's immunity! Although I do (occassionally a get PI rash (it's not bad, it's an inconvenience), DW doesn't, but our son (and his friends do, the same for our neighbor's grandchildren). Kirkman's laundry soap helps prevent rash when used with hot water, within a half-day's exposure, Tecnu really helps to reduce the rash (and its spread)(but it really dries the skin), but, by accident (no less!) I also found that strong alkalies help to prevent the rash ( weeding (PI) followed by masonary work---not the best solution for everyone---uroshiols are acidic, mortar is alkaline--possible link?), Kirkman's soap is an old formula based on Lye/fatty acid (also alkaline in the final product). Dang, I envy your husband's immunity. |
He has had only the most minute rashes since I have known him...so small, in fact that we were undecided if it was ever even really due to ivy. In any case, he just sits back and laughs at me when I have it everywhere. A friend of mine gave me a homemade bar of the lye soap you mention, dadgardens, but it never really seemed to do much for the itch other than dry the skin. Now another friend gave me a bottle of locally made remedy-gel, and that stuff will burn the hair off you! BUT, it does kill the itch. The label says it contains ethanol, so I guess what I don't put on my neck and arm I could toss into the gas tank and get a few more mpg's of this wonderful 2.35 dollar gas we have here. ha ha |
Just a warning - I never got PI as a kid in New England - I used to delight in walking through the stuff to annoy people. We must have a different subspecies or something here in PA, because I get this stuff if I so much as look at it! I have gotten some horrible, supporating rashes since we moved here. But I still seem to be safe in New England. Weird. |

Did you guys know that you can get a vaccine every year for this? I guess they used to give it more often. My pediatrician told me about it. But since I'm a bit suspicious of vaccines, we haven't had it. |
Jill: Thanks for the warning. In case I ever leave New England, I'll avoid the stuff. Cath: I agree, that sounds like a lot of vaccines! |

I got PI at 62; never had it previously and I was always outside. I thought I could get rid of it in a week or two. Boy, was I wrong. If I ever get it again, I'll go to the doctor. I had it for a month, tried every remedy I could find, even bleach, to no avail. The only way I could sleep was to use very hot water on the area for as long as I could stand it. And I'm told once you have it, it's easier to get! Miserable weed! If its at all a big area, seek medical care ASAP! |

In "Moral Tales," a Tapestry of Faith program
This is a cooperative game that promotes risk-taking to help others, and allows the children to feel a small, safe amount of fear which they then try to overcome. The game is played by having all but one child begin as a runner. Invite one child to be the first chaser.
Tell the children:
All you runners are living in a dangerous place where there is a monster that can capture you and freeze you. The object of the game for the monster is to try to freeze all the other children by either making their bean bags fall, or grabbing the bean bags off of their heads. If the monster loses its bean bag, it just has to stop to put it back on again.
The only way to get unfrozen is for another child, who is not frozen, to put your bean bag back on your head for you. You may stay in the safety zone and be safe from the monster, but you must also try to rescue the people who have been frozen.
Here's another rule. If the monster goes to home base, everyone in the safety zone must leave the safety zone immediately.
The monster (chaser) wears a large bean bag on his/her head which stays on more easily than the runners' bean bags, which are small. The goal for the runners is to free each other from being frozen by coming out of the safety zone and putting the bean bags back on the frozen kids' heads at the risk of being frozen themselves.
As the children play, you will probably need to remind them of the rules.
Hopefully during this game all of the participants will have a chance to rescue others. If there do not seem to be enough children getting frozen, add more "monsters" to the mix — as many as you have large bean bags. If all of the runners become frozen, take away a monster and that person becomes a runner who can save people. You can also limit the time that each child can spend in the safety zone.

I live in Sana Ana, southern California and just planted this Fuji apple 3 weeks ago. Look like it has not been growing well since then. The leaves, starting from the bottom section of the tree has been turning into yellow and falling off looking like this . The green leaves also look a little bit withered. It almost did not rain much this time of the year so I don't know if it's over-watering related or some type of other thing. Any help would be great! Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is a root problem, possibly caused by poor drainage; did you dig a hole in clay then mix in compost in the backfill soil? Also, was this a potted tree when you planted it? If it had lots of organic material in the potting soil, it's rotting now that the oxygen is cut off, and rotting the roots with it. If the drainage is poor and you created a bucket in the clay by backfilling with composted dirt, the tree is not likely to live. |

My interpretation: It doesn't look that bad. Is it painted white? You need to dump a good 4 inch thick of wood chip mulch layer down there to stabilize the moisture level and keep the soil temp cooler around the roots. Otherwise the upper 3" of soil will be the same as the air temp. Generally not a good time to plant a tree. Too hot for any significant above ground growth. But not impossible, just means you need to keep an eye on it and the soil moisture. I started washing all container soil off of my roots this year and have been pleased with the results as container soil is for containers and sucks in the ground (drains too fast) and often has too much uncomposted material present. |
- Posted by Fascist_Nation USDA 9b, Sunset 13, (My Page) on Sat, Aug 3, 13 at 21:49
I should have added, put some western shade up. The container was likely getting some overhead shade at some point in the day at the nursery and now is out in the open(?). Put a old palate on its side and drive a couple of rebar rods inside to support it or put a couple 1/2" x 2 ft. rebar halfway into the ground, put a 1/2" x 10' PVC pipe over each rebar. Put the structure as close to the tree as possible to get the shade onto the tree ASAP in the afternoon...all the way until near sunset. Suspend a piece of shade cloth or burlap between them using a large binder clip (found at an office supply store like Staples) on each corner. Adjust the cloth up and down for optimal shading from about 3PM on until you get at least 8 hours of temps below 85F. You should only need the western shade this summer as it should acclimate next summer. |

Make certain the original rootball is moist. Likely it's more dry than you think. |
Thank all for your advices. I checked with a guy working for Home Depot Nursery. According to him. I used quite a lot of manure. When preparing the soil for planting, I mixed manure/soil from my garden at the ratio 1:1. He said the manure is salty and hot so it turned the leaves into yellow and made them falling down. He advised me to flush salt in the soil by spraying with a lot of water for several times (I did not need to dig out the soil) and I already sprayed the water. I will let you know how the tree comes out in a couple of weeks . Thanks again |

Here are some tips to be prepared:
- Keep backup batteries and a flashlight handy.
- Avoid the use of space heaters or candles near blankets, curtains or other flammable fabrics.
- Do not leave candles or space heaters unattended.
- Generators should be used only outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.
- Recharge phones and other electronics before the storm in case the power goes out. Use text messaging to preserve battery life.
Wilson Energy customers who experience an outage should call 252-399-2424 to report it.

For patients with colorectal cancer treated with curative intent, intensive follow up is associated with improved all-cause survival. However, from the randomised trials completed and reported to date, it is not clear what constitutes the optimal follow-up regimen.
There is little information available about the harms and costs associated with follow up in this setting.
Ongoing and proposed trials will address issues of quality of life, harms and costs, and clarify the optimum follow-up programme.
Consumer needs and concerns with respect to the value of follow up require further research.

Sacred Heart University is a Roman Catholic university located in suburban Fairfield, Connecticut, United States. Sacred Heart was founded in 1963 by the Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Sacred Heart University was the first Catholic university in the United States to be staffed by the laity.[2] Dr. John J. Petillo is the current President of the University.[3]
SHU is the second largest Catholic university in New England, behind Boston College,[4] and offers more than 40 degree programs to over 7,500 students at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels.
Sacred Heart is included in The Princeton Review's Best 371 Colleges 2010,[5] the Best 301 Business Schools 2010,[6] as well as U.S. News and World Report's Best Colleges.[5]
Sacred Heart University was founded in 1963 by the Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport. It was established to provide the community with an affordable, quality education at a local Catholic university. The University was to be led and staffed by the laity independent and locally oriented, serving the needs of the diocese and of southwestern Connecticut. Former American ambassador and Diplomat Thomas Patrick Melady served as President of the University from 1976 to 1986.
Enrollment has risen from the original class of 173 to over 6,000 full and part-time undergraduate and graduate students, and the faculty has increased from 9 to 237 full-time professors and over 350 adjunct professors since 1963.
The University has enhanced the undergraduate student experience in several notable ways. The first dorms, Scholars Commons (previously known as J-Hill), were built 1991, giving the university the ability to accept students who wanted the residential experience. It now has 10 residential buildings with 70% of the full-time undergraduates residing in university housing.
New degree programs and majors in relevant disciplines are regularly added to the curriculum. The University offers Division I athletics with 31 varsity teams. The $17.5 million William H. Pitt Health and Recreation Center is available to all students and to the community at large. The University campus is a wireless environment.
The University consists of five colleges: College of Arts & Sciences, John F. Welch College of Business, College of Health Professions, Isabelle Farrington College of Education and University College. The University College is committed to the adult learner, and its evening, weekend and accelerated courses earn praise for their diversity and relevance to changing lifestyles.
In the 1980s, former United States president George H.W. Bush received an honorary degree from Sacred Heart University.[7]
On January 25, 2006, Jack Welch gave a large sum of money and his name to Sacred Heart University's College of Business, which is now known as the "John F. Welch College of Business."[8]
On Sunday, September 27, 2009, Sacred Heart University opened its new chapel, dedicated to the Holy Spirit.
In 2012, the University opened a new Student Commons building (Dedicated as the Linda E. McMahon Student Commons) after McMahon donated approximately $5 million. The new Commons includes dining facilities, lounge space, meeting rooms, and several other amenities.[9]
In 2012 the University approved construction of two new buildings for the John F. Welch College of Business and the Isabelle Farrington School of Education. The two new buildings will be designed by the Watertown, MA firm of Sasaki & Associates (Who also designed The Chapel of the Holy Spirt and the Linda E. McMahon Student Commons). Construction and development is expected to begin in 2012 on a recently acquired parcel of land at the corner of Jefferson St and Park Ave in Fairfield.[10]
In 2013, Sacred Heart University opened their new Wellness Center. The two-story, colonial-style, 5,800-square-foot building, situated on Park Avenue across from the main campus, serves as a place for acute health and medical needs and will also offer students counseling and therapeutic services.
In the summer of 2014, Sacred Heart University broke ground for a planned new learning center, to be called the "Student Success Center" dedicated to helping SHU students and young students from the surrounding region achieve success in their educational pursuits.
The main campus is located in suburban Fairfield, 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City and 150 miles (240 km) south of Boston.

 This 7-year series chronicled the adventures of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists who were offered "impossible missions" (should they decide to accept them) by the unseen "Secretary". Although the cast varied over the years, the main characters included The Team Leader (Dan Briggs the first season, then Jim Phelps the other six), The Techno-Wizard (Barney Collier), The Strongman (Willy Armitage), The Master of Disguise (first Rollin Hand, then The Amazing Paris), and The Femme Fatale (Cinnamon Carter, Dana Lambert, Casey, Mimi Davis).''''The series is best known for its standard (but not invariable) opening mission contact (conducted by a pre-recorded message), the theme composed by Lalo Schifrin, the leader's selection of mission agents from a dossier, the opening briefing, the intricate use of disguises and a typical "mask pulloff" scene near the end of most episodes, and the relative lack of characterization of the characters.

WTIC-TV Those Magnificent Talkies Promo
- February 21st, 2014 at 8:00AM
- Local CT Promotional Spots
- 1 Comment
It's WTIC-TV Week! WTIC-TV signed on in September 1984, the second TV station in Connecticut to use those call letters. It was an independent station until October 1986, when it affiliated with the new Fox Broadcasting Company.
Here's a promotional spot from February 1985 for Those Magnificent Talkies, a weekday morning movie block on WTIC-TV featuring "silver screen classics from Hollywood" like Algiers, His Girl Friday, The Barretts of Wimpole Street.
1 Comment
Our local UHF station in Toronto, CITY-TV used to do this, and showed it's Great Movies movie block every afternoon, night, and late night (as well as a show of porn movies very late Friday and Saturday night called Baby Blue Movies until it was bought out by Rogers Media, which the company cancelled, probably because it was competition with Roger's pay-per-view business. We even had a ton of local programming, with shows like CityLine (hosted first by Dini Petty, then Marilyn Denis, and now Tracy Moore); magazine series such as The New Music, Toronto Rocks, Fashion Television, Life on Venus Ave. and Movie Television; and interactive series such as Speakers' Corner.

This picture of So Sweet just taken. Nov 11. This is my last man standing. It looks great. We have had multiple frosts. Everyone else is brown and crispy. They are calling for a little snow tomorrow so I figured I was running out of time. Is it typical of So Sweet to be so frost resistant? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine is one of the last holdouts, too. At first I thought So Sweet would be a lackluster addition to the group, but I have really been impressed with how fresh and vibrant it is. And fragrant...gotta love it! |
She's probably my favorite hosta. She grows quickly, comes up early, doesn't burn, stays compact, blooms prolifically and stays late. What more can you ask? (Well, she could be fertile.) Wonder who Aden stole her from? bk |
On second thought, I think Steve said she was a Florence Shaw plant, but I'm not sure. bk My So Sweet #1 |
- Posted by josephines67 5 ON (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 12:49
BK....every time I think of So Sweet, or look at her, my mind conjures up this beautiful photo you posted of the most beautiful So Sweet hosta I have had the pleasure of viewing! LuckyKat...mine is just new this year, still in pot....but it seems like she is quite hardy and was one of the very last to change colour....what a bonus. Yours looks pretty in your garden and is a nice size...had her long?? Jo |
- Posted by LuckyKat13 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 13, 13 at 5:47
Josephine, I have had her for 4 years but she has been unimpressive in previous years. Last October I dug her up and moved her to the current location to make room for a new front walk. She must like this spot because her size tripled this year. |
bkay - I have 'So Sweet' because of your recommendation. I had accumulated almost all of the HOTYs and inquired here if 'So Sweet' and "Fragrant Bouquet' were still considered top notch cultivars. You posted your photo, I bought one, you were right! I love 'Fragrant Bouquet' also. Jan |
Actually, I got her in 2009. I accidentally ordered three of her (one of my best hosta investments). I stuck them all in the same pot. It was beautiful almost immediately. That's when she became my favorite. I bought 3 more to put in the ground in 2011, but they didn't make it to the ground. Their "interim" pot became their home. These were skimpy divisions of a mature plant and reverted to juvenile leaves immediately. However, in 2012. she started to shine. This year was a dud, however, for most all my hosta growth. Next year, So Sweet #2 should be a really nice, full hosta again.. She needs to recover. She suffered quite a bit of spring damage this year. I would guess that most of my hosta lost at least a year's maturity this spring. It was a REALLY tough spring. bk So Sweet #2 in 2012 |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Wed, Nov 13, 13 at 23:18
It is good to add to So Sweet's resume that she is hardy to early frost. My two (I added a 2nd one from different nurseries) are only 2nd and 1st year growers here. BK, your #2 So Sweet is gorgeous in that last picture. But I've had Fragrant Bouquet since May of 2011 and she and a neighboring Squash Casserole of the same vintage managed to be the consistent good performers this year. They looked so good that I'm now trying to duplicate the conditions they shared which might lead others to perform so well next year. |
I finally bought a FB this year. It bought 2, so that I could have a large pot sooner. Thanks for reminding me of Squash Casserole. Your's is so beautiful and held up so well, that I decided I had to have that one, too. bk |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 10:27
Hey, BK, I know that feeling! I smile and am very pleased. I feel it is a miracle that all are doing "okay", and some are doing very well--or at least better than I'd hoped for. Maybe you and I will have our dream of a hosta garden after all! |

Hi, I had been growing various gesneriads for years. About 3 years ago, my few gloxinias, began to die. There leaves looked like they were a little sunburned, the plants became stunted, then died. My African violets began to die also. (it looked like root rot.) When I tried to start new plants, the leaves would not root. My columneas' leaves began to died also, and I lost a few plants. Finally my achimenes are stunted. Some of them have had the same sunburnt look to the leaves. My one strep is hanging on, but no blossoms for 2 years and the leaves tend to die Any ideas? I use new soil and I believe I clean the pots out well. Ed |

Ed, it is possible you have mites. From what you are describing with stunting and looking like sunburn it is a very good possibility. Did the violets and gloxinias show damage in the center of the plant and stunting? Also, are you finding the strep leaves are dying on the tips of the leaves and the leaf looking grayish? These are signs of mites. You can see them if you have a strong magnifying glass if you use a very bright light. They don't like bright light and will run. If this is the case, at this point I would discard any plants left. The insects will just go from one plant to another infecting the health plants. My best advise is to start over, toss any remaining plants. Irina usually is around. I would watch the responses to see what she thinks maybe going on. If you can give answers to my questions this will help Irina and anyone else who might have have any ideas. Dave |
Dave, Thanks for your help! Yes the centers did seem damaged and stunted. The strep and columnea leaves die first at the edges then the entire leave turns gray. Year ago I had a mite infestation and I treated it with systemic, a power that was mixed in the soil and poisoned the mites. Could that work again? Ed |
- Posted by davioletman 10 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Oct 7, 13 at 23:39
Yes, it could Ed. It will be a process though. You also run the risk of another infestation. If you do not have many plants I would opt to toss them all and start over. Dave |
I am thinking that Dave is correct. Toss the sickies, clean everything with Clorox solution - pots, shelves, windowsills - and give it some rest. There are 2 possible issues - mites and INSV virus. INSV - it hopeless - trash can is the only solution. It stunts the plants to the point that they succumb to the root rot etc. Signs - concentrated burn looking spots on the florist gloxinia leaves, distorted flowers, variations in color on AV leaves. I do not know about any anti-mite systemic that works through soil. I know several that work when you spray. If you are really into finding out what's wrong - you can check with your county extension office if they look at your plants under microscope for mites and can run a test for INSV. You can get rid of the mites relatively easily - the spray I would recommend is Forbid 4F, you can get a small amount from ebay 1/4 oz for $18.50. It is a systemic and will kill them off in one spraying. good luck |

Title: Project A+: Autism + Mathematics = Communication: Year 2
Autism is a complex, neurological disorder that affects as many as 1 in every 166 students. At present, there is no known cure for autism. However, most experts agree that early intervention plays an important role in positive prognosis. Despite the widespread adoption that early intervention is important, less information is available regarding the specific treatment strategies that should be incorporated into early intervention programs. With the advent of No Child Left Behind, there is an increasing need to identify educational strategies aimed at increasing academic functioning. The purpose of project A+ is to evaluate the effects of systematic instruction in mathematics on preschool-aged students with autism. This second year study will evaluate the effects of degree of autism symptom severity and social responsiveness on progress in mathematics. During the course of the project, students with autism and several of their integrated, typically developing peers, will receive 5 months of instruction in mathematics during their regular school day. Instruction will consist of both direct instruction and embedded instruction derived from the Project MIND curriculum (see appendix A). A control group will have no mathematics instruction incorporated into their classroom activities, other than what is part of the current curriculum. Comparisons of the groups' performance will reveal if students with autism show accelerated acquisition of mathematical skills following systematic instruction and the effects of autism symptomatology and social responsiveness on this performance. Comparing the rates of acquisition of math skills for students with autism to those without autism will reveal information about the specific learning abilities of students with autism. In addition to the valuable information gained from this study regarding autism, this study will serve as a continuing pilot project aimed at beginning a collaborative research relationship between faculty from three colleges within Nova Southeastern University.

The Public Safety Citizens' Academy is a free ten-week program designed to educate local residents about public safety operations. During previous classes, participants learned about the Columbus Police Department Bomb Squad, SWAT Team, Criminal Investigations, Narcotics/Vice Units and K-9 divisions. Participants will be provided presentations that feature the police dogs and their handlers in the K-9 unit
Last year, the participants got the chance to fire police weapons at the Police Department's firing range and use the Columbus Fire Department's equipment to cut open a wrecked vehicle in a mock extrication scenario and put out an actual fire using a fire extinguisher.
"The Citizens' Academy is a great way to connect with our residents and show them what we do and how we do it," Columbus Police Chief Jon Rohde said. "We let them have the same experiences as our City police officers and firefighters, from riding along on patrols to putting out fires."
About 760 local residents have completed the Citizens' Academy since it started in the mid-1990s. Police Lt. Matt Myers, one of the academy organizers, said last year's participants had some of the best attendance ever, asked in-depth questions and interacted well with each other and the presenters from the community's public safety agencies.
Two year ago, the Columbus Fire Department and other agencies joined the Columbus Police Department to broaden the scope of courses taught as part of the academy. The academy also featured involvement from more police officers and firefighters than in years past, largely due to the example set by former Chief Jason Maddix and Columbus Fire Chief Dave Allmon. The chiefs and all officers who present for the academy volunteered their time.
" Residents get the unique experience of gearing up as firefighters and performing some of the same duties we do every day," Chief Allmon said. "As firefighters, we also benefit from the Citizens' Academy by getting to build a stronger relationship with our community. We are already looking forward to participating in the 2014 academy."
The 2014 Public Safety Citizens' Academy will give more residents the chance to participate. Additional information on this year's academy, and application forms are available by going to the City of Columbus' website, columbus.in.gov. Click on police and go to CPD training.
The 2014 Public Safety Citizens' Academy is scheduled for August 21st through October 23rd. Classes will be held each Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m.

Rothamsted researcher honoured
16 June 2010
This week Professor John Pickett CBE, became the first recipient of the "Michael Elliott Distinguished Research Fellowship" at Rothamsted Research, an institute of the BBSRC. Professor Pickett was awarded this new fellowship in recognition of his distinguished career in Chemical Ecology.
This new fellowship is named after Michael Elliott, the scientist behind the discovery and development of pyrethroid insecticides, still the most important for controlling the majority of pests of public health and agricultural importance. The Fellowship will be awarded periodically to a Rothamsted scientist who has distinguished themselves in their research over an extended period and who has brought substantial recognition to Rothamsted Research, just as Professor Elliott did throughout his illustrious career. The first Michael Elliott Fellowship was awarded to Professor John Pickett in a ceremony at Rothamsted on Tuesday, 15 June, where invited guests and colleagues gathered to congratulate Professor Pickett. Professor Elliott's family were also in attendance.
Professor Wittko Francke, Department of Organic Chemistry, University of Hamburg presented the opening seminar entitled: "Some bizarre ideas on the evolution of semiochemicals - in honour of John Pickett, Michael Elliott Research Fellow". This was followed by the presentation of the Fellowship to Professor John A. Pickett, who is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society and a Fellow the Royal Society. He is the recipient of the International Society of Chemical Ecology Medal and received a CBE in 2004, in recognition of his services to Biological Chemistry.
Professor Pickett presented the Michael Elliott lecture celebrating his 35 years of chemical ecology at Rothamsted entitled: "From the love-life of insects to frightening plants", which covered his eminent career at Rothamsted and described future challenges and opportunities in the field of Chemical Ecology.
New Director and CEO of Rothamsted Research, Professor Maurice Moloney said, "We are proud that Professor John Pickett is the first recipient of the Michael Elliott Research Fellowship. John's scientific impact in the area of chemical ecology is unrivalled. His work also epitomises the values that we hold at Rothamsted for internationally acclaimed science and its translation into agricultural practice. His recent work on push-pull agriculture illustrates this point well. It is founded on major scientific discoveries and yet it has already been applied beneficially to agricultural systems in Africa."
Upon receipt of the award Professor Pickett said, "What a wonderful development for me both to honour my predecessor Michael Elliott and his invention of the synthetic pyrethroids, still the major intervention against malaria, and to enable me to continue making important contributions to the Rothamsted and BBSRC move towards increasing sustainable intensification of agricultural production."
Professor Moloney also announced a new John Pickett Travel Fellowship, which will be available to post-graduate students and recent post-doctoral fellows at Rothamsted for project travel to a collaborating laboratory outside of the UK.
