Oakley Dominates At The Fontana City National
At The Fontana City National, the start of the National mountain bike racing season, Oakley athletes dominated, winning a total of 8 medals. The Fontana race is known for its "urban singletrack" and normally exciting atmosphere as all the best racers amass to kick off the new season.
In the Pro Men division Oakley sweeped the podiom with Todd Wells winning, Geoff Kabush taking second, Max Plaxton in third, Sid Taberlay in fourth and Sam Schultz in fifth. In the Pro Women Oakley's Lene Byberg outperformed the field and took the win while Oakley's Willow Koerber placed third and Oakley's Alison Mann took fifth.
In the men's race off the line Oakley's Todd Wells seemed determined to make amends for his broken chain from Fontana last season.
Throughout the race the leaders shuffled their positions, but no one could break free into the stiff head winds.
Finally in the last lap Wells emerged leading with Kabush locked on his back wheel.
Todd Wells took the win three-tenths of a second in front of Kabush. Plaxton crossed the line a few seconds later.
In the women's Oakley's Lene Byberg entered the race as the favorite due to her second place in the World Championships and she did not disappoint.
After the first lap Byberg broke free of her counterparts and in the end she won by over a minute.

I'm impressed! The last time I saw photos of Jesus, he had long flowing locks. Damn hippie! Tonight I came home to this circular:
Almost trendy! At least it's not a mullet!
Jesus has really cleaned up his act. A goatee would be better, but hey, this is 2013 and full facial hair is in again. Plus, it's nicely trimmed, if full.
I remember reading somewhere, Jesus didn't really have the Tiny Tim hair style anyway. Something about, being a carpenter, the long hair was in danger of getting caught in his band saw or power drill and then he would need to miracle himself.
Not sure of his ethnicity - Alsatian maybe?
Well, at least everyone is smiling. They all have nice white teeth, too! Another of Jesus miracles, detailed in the book of Crest.
Then there's the 6-pack abs. How did he get those? Must be the fishing. Hard work hauling in those nets. I haven't had abs like those since I was 33.
Probably not the response the mysterious visitors wanted. I wish they were here so I could discuss "Brad Pitt Jesus" with them. He's much sexier than he was before his make-over.
Maybe next time. I always think of the best thing to say hours, even days, later anyway.
You have to ask them if their god had/has testicles, and DNA that is compatible with human DNA. I mean...I have wondered for years where a "ghost" got ANY chromosomes at all, and if Jesus was the result of actual parthenogenesis, totally derived from one of Mary's ova, then he would have to have been a female.
God would have to have testicles. He made Adam in his image, and adam had'em too.
Yeah, but what did he use them for? Maybe he played a lot of pocket pool.
We're talking xtians here. If they buy the bible, they buy the jesus pics that look like Eric Clapton, HA!
These are great comments - very funny - Love to come here and read them.
I was thinking he looked a little like Robert Redford.
In reading the first page of this Aryan Brother Pamphlet, all I could think of was the questions.
WHO IS THIS MAN? I give up. Who? Is the question multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank? Am I supposed to recognize him from a picture on the wall in the Post Office, next to that of Manny Gambini, a/k/a "Manny the Enforcer"?
HOW DOES HIS DEATH HELP US? Lets see. Oh yeah, I got it. Because he's dead, he's not going door-to-door on Sunday morning and interrupting my sex life!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER HIM? Because when he came out of his cave, he saw his shadow, which means we have 6 more weeks of winter.
Not 6 more weeks of winter!!!!!!! Dammit jesus!!!!!

I made the one for the 2013 recruits and it was running for a while I just havent really added anything to it since Randle went to the darkside. List looks great so far and I havent heard to much in regards to who we are after, at this point everyone is after everyone. I have read that Grayson Allen wants to go to Duke, however he does go to the same school that Patric Young went to.
2014 Mock Class: C - Trayvon Reed 6'11 200lb Rivals #59 PF - Malik Price-Martin 6'8 190lb Rivals #45 SG - Grayson Allen 6'4" 185lb Rivals #32 SG - D'Angelo Russell 6'4" 185 Rivals #22 PG - Mitchell Wilbekin 6'1 165lb UR Walk-On Don't even have to leave the state of Florida. Need to replace four SRs, plus NBA jumps and possible transfers. I think 4 is a minimum for this class.
Reed's from Georgia. Russell has no interest in UF. Hope we can get Allen. Looks like we'll be going after three and four year players. We're either not recruiting five star prospects this cycle or they're just not interested in UF.
Why would you imagine this guy would walk on at UF???? According to this over a year old article: http://blog.northstarbball.com/2012/02/03/three-standing-out-for-sophomore-mitchell-wilbekin.aspx he has offers from Baylor and UTx. If so, I suspect he is not walking on at UF.
This site has a lot of great (free) info. Only site I've seen that actually calls up gator hoops recruits and gets quotes from them. www.gatorhoopsrecruits.com
Great stuff. I used to do a thread like that, but I've just gotten too busy. That kind of info is very helpful, and I know how much work it takes to compile, so thanks.
I read somewhere that Russel was still waiting on an offer from UF. So he was at least mentioning Florida as one of his possible choices... if we were to offer.
What? I gave him a bit of a hard time about listing M. Wilbekin as a possible walkon. But other than that he just tossed out a mock class of all kids from Florida. That spurred on more conversation ON UF BASKETBALL RECRUITING. I for one favor that.
Glad I read that. Stanley Johnson out of CA looks like a terrific SG/SF prospect. Kevin Looney from Milwaukee is another five star SF that has the Gators on his list, ditto Justise Winslow from Houston. Wings seem to be the focus of the recruiting efforts so far, but I do see one big man with UF high on his list, Trey Lisles from Indianapolis. Looks like Kentucky's the leader, but it's interesting that Indiana isn't on his list at all. I'm all for getting the best in-state kids, but an all Florida class would not be very good.
We have no shot at Russel, and some of those other players aren't high on our board. And no way Wilbekin walks on
Zagoria is saying that we are a potential transfer destination for Eli Carter: http://zagsblog.com/articles/duke-florida-among-those-reaching-out-for-eli-carter/ He put up 31 points against us in the Rutgers game last season.
Great find. Thanks. He is sort of a mirror image of Rosario, in many respects or even Mark Lyons of Xavier/Zona. Confident, aggressive volume scorer who competes and can play either guard spot. Not the idea point guard for our system, but he could do if Hill were to leave and we had no one else in place.
Possibly an adequate replacement for Wilbekin if Hill stays. He can spell spell Hill and rotate with Frazier who will probably get more time at the three after Prather is gone. There's always room for an experience collegiate player who can create his own shot. Was very impressed with him when he torched the Gators.
Grayson Allen has committed to Duke, he was waiting for the offer. He received it and is now committed.
Rutgers guard Eli Carter is considering six schools for his next stop. "The schools that I am considering are Maryland, Florida, Memphis, Creighton, Buffalo & Pittsburgh !!" he Tweeted. Carter met Tuesday with Florida and Pitt and was slated to meet with Maryland on Wednesday. "Right now his dad wants to talk to a few coaches and see what their plans are for him and where they see him fitting into their program," Sports U coach Brian Coleman previously told SNY.tv. "He's kind of open, he's looking for the best fit where he can get a chance to showcase himself." The 6-foot-2 Carter averaged 14.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists before fracturing his right fibula in mid-February against DePaul. He would have two years of eligibility remaining and could apply for a waiver to play immediately given the extenuating circumstances surrounding Mike Rice's firing. Carter's former teammate, junior wing Mike Poole, announced plans to transfer to Iona on Tuesday.
If we get him, I'd rather see him sit out. He'll be more of a need the two years following next season.

6 Scenes We Love From 'The Naked Gun'
Features By Christopher Campbell on December 1, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThis week was the third anniversary of Leslie Nielsen's death, which also marked the definite end of the most brilliant eras in movie spoof history. The period didn't begin with his induction into the genre, and he certainly helped usher in a wave of weak entries (he even starred in the first movie written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer), but he is still the actor most associated with these kinds of comedies, mainly due to his collaborations with the trio of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker. Following his scene-stealing work in their classic Airplane!, they cast him as the lead on a short-lived TV series called Police Squad!. After it was quickly canceled, Nielsen spent time with serious parts in films and TV series before being brought back for the movie spin-off, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. Tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of the movie's theatrical release, when it opened at #1 before going on to be among the top-ten grossers that debuted in 1988 (about half its take came following the new year). The success of this action movie parody led to sequels of diminishing quality, but the brand is in its entirety still one of the more celebrated comedy franchises. And this initial installment is still considered one of the top three favorite spoof movies of all time. To adequately honor all its hilarity would be difficult here, as the gags and jokes in The Naked Gun are so abundant, not […]

And the Oscar goes to…
This article is part of our Oscar Week Series, where you will find breakdowns and predictions for all of the major categories. As you may know, Robert Ebert is promising $100,000 to anyone who can predict every single Oscar win this year. Going 24 for 24 is an impressive feat, unless you have an ethically questionable friend that works at PricewaterhouseCoopers. But, if you have that, why would you be wasting your time on a measly $100,000? Exactly. I don't have that friend, but I have a graphing calculator and a lot of free time, so I came up with the predictions that I'll be submitting to Ebert's contest. I'd better not get a subscription to Red Book or something for sharing my email information with him. Check out who I think will win the awards on Sunday (written in bold), tell me why I'm dead wrong, and put your money where your mouth is by entering the contest yourself.

Normally I have had a bit of damage on a large bottle brush in my yard but this time the entire plant took a real beating.This is 10 degrees cooler than I have ever seen. All of the leaves are now more brownish than green. I am temped to prune it to the ground but I don't whether you can do this to bottle brush without killing it. Anyone know?? Thanks

many plants have dormant buds.. which can help recover the plant ... even though you might lose bloom for the year ... if you cut everything off too soon.. you will never know if those buds are still viable ... my vote is to give it a month or two.. and see how it reacts ... i have had plants lose every leaf on them due to the following: winter damage etc ... give them some time.. to see how the plant reacts.. and THEN YOU REACT .... or.. if you have more than one.. do one now.. and the other later.. and report back as to which option worked better ... ken |

Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge
Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge.

In 2012, we helped the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expand the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge by nearly 270 acres. Surrounded by refuge lands on three sides, the newly protected tract is significant as a demonstration site for longleaf pine ecosystem restoration. It also provides habitat for many of the same species found on the refuge, including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, bob-white quail, Eastern fox squirrel and forest-dwelling migratory birds.
The Fund purchased the property from Timberland Investment Resources, LLC, a timber investment management organization, and held it until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could gather funding to acquire it.
Longleaf Pine Restoration At Sandhills
The Carolina Sandhills NWR is one of only two refuges in the Southeast Region designated as a demonstration refuge for longleaf pine restoration and management. The newly-acquired parcel is currently forested in loblolly pine, an off-site pine species for the Sandhills region. The service will work with conservation partners to restore the site to longleaf pine. Restoring these lands to native longleaf habitat and associated groundcover will provide a unique opportunity to demonstrate the restoration process to private landowners.
Longleaf pine, with its extensive tap root and ability to tolerate frequent fires, is the naturally occurring dominant species on the deep, sandy soils characteristic of the Sandhills. The refuge, which includes 46,000 acres of longleaf forest, contains one of the largest remaining tracts of longleaf pine in its range. At one time, there was more than 92 million acres of longleaf pine from southern Virginia south to Florida and west to eastern Texas. Today, longleaf pine occurs on approximately three million acres, less than three percent of its former range.
"What makes this acquisition even more exciting is that not only are we adding lands to the conservation landscape, but we will involve more partners and surrounding landowners in its restoration and management," said Jason Johnson, South Carolina Director of the Fund.

IBM has reported a 2% drop in its revenue generated during the second quarter of 2014 to $24.4bn, mainly due to sluggish software sales.
During the quarter, the company's net income rose 28% to $4.1bn compared to $3.2bn generated during the corresponding quarter last year.
IBM chairman, president and CEO, Ginni Rometty, said: "In the second quarter, we made further progress on our transformation. We performed well in our strategic imperatives around cloud, big data and analytics, security and mobile.
"We will continue to extend and leverage our unique strengths to address the emerging trends in enterprise IT and transform our business, positioning ourselves for growth over the long term."
Revenue from IBM's growth markets dropped 7%, while its revenue in the BRIC countries dropped by 2%.
The company's Systems and Technology segment reported an 11% drop in revenue to $3.3bn, while its software segment dropped 1% to $6.5bn.
The US tech firm has been working to restructure its business to target high-end products such as cloud, mobile security and big data, which it expects will be responsible for half of its profits by 2015.
Recently, IBM revealed plans to invest $3bn over the next five years in research semiconductor programmes focused on creating chips that push the limits of silicon technology to 7nm and below.

Girls Only. The trouble with Girls Only, a two-woman evening of conversation, skits, singing, improvisation and audience participation, is that it's so relentlessly nice. Creator-performers Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein have worked together for many years; at some point, they read their early diaries to each other and were transfixed by the similarities and differences they found in them, as well as the insights they gained into their own psyches and the travails of puberty. This theater piece was developed from that material — but not all of that material. "I purposely don't read every diary entry in the show, because it turns out I was kind of mean, and I don't want to be mean," Klein told an interviewer. But mean is funny, and when you cut it out entirely, what do you have to joke about? Girly pink bedrooms, purses, bras, skinny models in glossy magazines. Every time they tell a story with the tiniest bite to it, Gehring and Klein — both talented and appealing stage performers — move instantly to reassure us that they don't mean it. At one point Klein relates an interesting tale about how she came to possess the badly taxidermied body of an electrocuted squirrel as a child; the minute she's completed this funny, freaky moment in an otherwise highly predictable evening, she gives a pouty, don't-get-me-wrong grin and sweetly caresses the squirrel's head. There's enough good material here for a tight, funny, one-hour-long show, but this one stretches on and on, as if Klein and Gehring had been determined to throw every single joke and piece of shtick that occurred to them in the script.

The Glass Menagerie. Nostalgia is at the heart of this Tennessee Williams play, which reveals the stifling and claustrophobic life of a onetime Southern belle and her two grown children, as remembered by son Tom. Amanda once chose a telephone man with a seductive grin over countless other suitors, and he deserted the family. Now she spends her time alternately succumbing to romantic memories and scheming with tooth-gritted determination for the welfare of her family. Tom works in a warehouse, longs to be a poet, and finds his life stunted by the dependence of his small family. Sister Laura, emotionally and physically crippled and so painfully shy she's unable to maintain any kind of outside life, spends her time with a collection of glass animals. Into this hothouse atmosphere comes a gentleman caller: Jim, a friend from work whom Tom, at his mother's urging, has invited to dinner. All of the casting is very strong, and director Warren Sherrill is not afraid of pauses — and the pauses resonate. The pleasing lines of David Lafont's set suggest a homey apartment, but true to the theme of memory, all detail has been erased: The frame supposedly holding a photograph of the absent telephone man is empty, Laura's glass animals purely imaginary. This emphasis on the play's long-ago, preserved-in-amber quality brings depth and clarity. But sometimes the production feels a little too measured, too like those golden, honey-dripping summer days that first create a sense of trance, then slowly lull you into sleep.

Glengarry Glen Ross. Although David Mamet wrote Glengarry Glen Ross more than twenty years ago, this study of unscrupulous salesmen pitching worthless plots in Florida is still relevant. These salesmen spend their time jockeying for ascendance. They're desperate, but their desperation hasn't humanized them or increased their ability to empathize either with their victims or with a colleague who's losing his footing. As for that colleague, his teeth are as sharp as anyone else's. The only blameless figure is James Lingk, the mark of one of the salesmen, but he's a wuss, entirely dependent on orders from his wife. The action is tightly constructed, and the evening fizzes along swiftly, buoyed by strong, fast gusts of rage and incessant bubbles of profanity. Three vignettes, which take place in the red vinyl booths of a Chinese restaurant, serve as prologue. By the second scene, we're in the office, a robbery has been committed, and a cop is on the premises. Under his questioning eye, the men begin to fall to pieces. The play won a Pulitzer in 1984, and much of its genius lies in Mamet's language; despite a plethora of "fuck"s, the dialogue is musical, rhythmic, penetrating. And this first-rate cast does it justice with a sizzling production.

The Hound of the Baskervilles. The performers at Heritage Square Music Hall has invented a form of theater entirely their own — a mix of scripted and improvised lines, audience interactions, clever jokes, silly jokes that are funny because they happen every time and we'd be disappointed if they didn't. What would be the point of a performance without Annie Dwyer attacking some guy in the audience, T.J. Mullin revealing his unexpectedly melodious tenor, Rory Pierce swaying on in a skirt, showing off unexpectedly shapely legs? Audiences like the fact that the cast can be so hokey and so talented at the same time. The spoofiness level of the company's offerings varies: Some shows are just joyous, anything-goes-for-a-laugh evenings, others are a bit more serious or represent a genuine homage. The Hound of the Baskervilles leans toward the latter. You get straightforward acting, and then there are the wildly anachronistic moments only Heritage can provide. Mullin plays Sherlock Holmes fairly straight, and Pierce does the same for Dr. Watson, though his bemused reactions are frequently hilarious. And because the cast knows you expect some singing in this music hall, they oblige with a brief, all-stops-out, sunshiny interlude after the show, a tribute to movie musicals.

He only had one battle...
I don't get how Leavanny has only 6 votes :/
Especially when weaklings like Snivy have 19.
Snivy is far from weak. I do think that Leavanny is stronger at the moment, but Snivy is far from being Ash's weakest Pokémon. That distinction would go to either Scraggy or Oshawott in my opinion. As for who is strongest, currently, I would say that Krookodile is the strongest. Unfeazant, Boldore (despite me voting for him before the Roxie battle), and Spoiler:- SPOILER:
are not in the top three with their recent showing against Roxie. In addition, for Pignite Spoiler:- SPOILER:
also makes him not look nearly as strong as before.
Team Rocket will pay for their crimes.
Everybody who says Fast Flying Pidgeon Wings, Rocky Road and BossToad is weak because of the Roxie is too stubborn, does not think outside the box that Roxie was overpowered and is completely wrong. She is a second gym leader yet the writers made her an Elite Four strength.
People don't think that they CLEARY HYPED HER UP and the writers made these Pokemon fall quickly to show kids how strong she is without putting any effort into.
Veggie bug had a type disadvantage but did well in every battle.
This was Bosstoad's only bad battle yet people jump to conclusion that he is a weakling because he has has not appeared much. He is a powerhouse and they used him to make Garbodor seem strong with putting power on Garbodor.
Fast Flying Pidgeon Wings has seen some better days but the poison was cuttinh her defenses and health in half.
Rocky Road's reasons are the same as BossToad's.
OH and for Roasted Pork PLOT ARMOR was with Trip's Salad Snake to make kids think he will defeat Alder when in reality he was weak.
Judging them by their loses and not how well they have done in battles is wrong.
If you count fluke wins as a means for someone to be strong than Oshawott is a powerhouse for beating Pansage.
If losses are way to belittle a Pokemon, Iris's Dragonite is the weakest member in her team because he lost to Krookodile but Axew, Ecxadrill and Emolga have wins.

Yeah..... I changed my signature....
Maybe if Palpitoad shows his strength in an upcoming battle, my opinion, and that of others, will change. As it is right now, though, we have to rely on his current body of work, which was not bad up until he was shown to be practically useless against Roxie, and make our judgements based on that. If something comes up later that shows Palpitoad being strong, great, but beating a Pokémon from Burgundy, who is now known to be a joke having not won a single battle on screen, and a Pokémon that has a big type disadvantage against him is not all that impressive, especially given what we saw from him against Roxie. At least Unfeazant and Boldore had some good showings before losing badly to Roxie. And still, from what I saw I believe that if Leavanny had been the first Pokémon out, he would have still been able to beat Koffing.
Team Rocket will pay for their crimes.
Snivy sure is moving up a few slots now. Tha **** just destroyed cincinno.
I think that Krookodile is the stronger member of the team. Although i said countless times that Krookodile isn't strongest than Dragonite but I think that Krookodile is the strongest pokemon. Why? Because has some merit defeating that such powerful pokemon. But if I think about the strongest pokemon in nAsh's team is Pikachu.
Pikacu has appeared in 5 Gym Battles. Except in the first, Pikachu has win battles in four. And is the star of 2 gyms that Ash otherwise lost if isn't because Pikachu arrives. Is his signature pokemon.
I think that if the level of Ash's team is around 50, Pikachu level right now is about 55-60. (Isn't strictly levels). Although I think that Pikachu went down from like level 65-70 in the Sinnoh League to around level 20-25 in the start of BW, Pikachu has "more level" than the rest of his pokemon. I put levels more to a refernce of strength rather that a numerical number).
For me, it's those pokemon:
1) Pikachu
2) Krookodile
3) Pignite
4) Leavanny
5) Snivy
6) Palpitoad
7) Oshawott
8) Boldore
9) Unfezant
10) Scraggy
Does it really matter all that much to you, Mr. Cyndaquil?
I'm about to type up a research paper that will disprove your thesis.
Also, looking at the mother thread, I can safely say that Krookodile is overrated. He's only won half his battles; it seems to me that people only put him at the top because he defeated Dragonite. I think even Boldore has won more battles than Krookodile (not counting Krookodile's battles while it was wild, of course).

PAWTUCKET — This was Anthony Ranaudo's finest performance in Triple-A.
Making his fourth start for the PawSox, Ranaudo limited Buffalo to three hits over 62/3 innings in Pawtucket's 1-0 victory over Buffalo. The PawSox have won nine of their last 10 to establish a slim lead in the International League wildcard race.
Ranaudo's first three starts were similar — he would start rockily before settling in. On Tuesday, however, the right-hander was sharp from the second batter on.
Ranaudo faced only one batter over the minimum, because of his ability to keep the ball on the ground (and with the help of his defense).
"I felt good tonight," said Ranaudo. "I had pretty good command of my pitches and made pitches when I needed to."
The PawSox turned five double plays, including four behind Ranaudo. Second baseman Heiker Meneses made a pair of terrific plays, one on a double-play turn and another on a feed. Catcher Ryan Lavarnway caught another runner stealing. Outfielders Jeremy Hazelbaker and Jackie Bradley Jr. each made catches at the wall to assist Ranaudo, as well.
"The double plays were huge," manager Gary DiSarcina said. "He's got to make the pitches to induce them."
It was the first time with the PawSox that Ranaudo pitched into the seventh. He's done it six times on the season overall.
Ranaudo has a 1.93 ERA in four starts for Pawtucket. His performance on Tuesday made a two-out RBI single from Drew Sutton in the fourth stand up. Sutton's bloop to shallow left-center brought home Brock Holt.
Meneses had two hits and a stolen base. He's 6-for-11 in his last four games.
Pawtucket now trails the Red Wings by just one for the division lead, and it has pushed its lead over the Tides for the wildcard to two.
Splitting time
With Lavarnway back from Boston, the PawSox will go back to splitting time behind the plate between Lavarnway and Dan Butler.
DiSarcina said Lavarnway will catch four games a week and Butler three. Each will serve as the designated hitter whenever he isn't catching.
"We only have two weeks left. They're going to play every day," DiSarcina said. "They need their at-bats."
Butler, who has been hot at the plate ever since he started playing every day behind it, said he'd try to get used to DHing again.
"Let's be honest: I'm a catcher at heart. I enjoy catching more. That's my job," he said. "DHing is always fun, too. As long as you get some playing time, that's all you can ask for."
With authority
The most impressive part of Butler's months-long hot streak has been his power. The catcher has 12 homers and a .632 slugging percentage in his last 42 games entering Tuesday. For context, David Ortiz slugged .636 when he hit 54 homers in 2006.
Watching Butler, though, every homer seems like his first. That's because he sprints around the bases like a Little Leaguer.
"I think I had him timed at eight seconds," DiSarcina joked about Butler's spring on Monday night. "I can't even get into position to give him a high five before he's running by me."
"I just want to beat Billy Hamilton around the bases one time," Butler said with a smile, alluding to the minors' fastest player.
His manager approves of the attitude.
"It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?" DiSarcina said.
Mortensen impresses
The first time Clayton Mortensen started for the PawSox, it was supposed to be a bullpen game. Instead, he went four scoreless innings — something Pawtucket needed in a game it eventually lost in 15.
Mortensen has stayed in the rotation ever since, becoming Pawtucket's most reliable starter.
"It's a little bit of a hidden gem," DiSarcina said. "When you throw your fastball for strikes and command as he does, whether it's at 87 or 95, it's a tough at-bat. The progression has just been trending upwards and upwards ever since he's been in the starting rotation."
Mortensen has a 1.35 ERA in four starts after tossing six innings of one-hit ball on Monday night. His return to starting — he was a starter throughout his career before 2012 — has been seamless.
"More or less the only thing that was different was just the routine before the game," Mortensen said. "I'm not trying to throw everything as hard as I can or as nasty as I possibly can all the time. You pitch a little bit more. You set stuff up. A little more relaxing, I'd say."

Dodge Neon Squeaks, Rattles and Noises
Posts: 2
I have a 2004 neon sxt, 4 banger, and there is a loud humming noise coming from front, I bought 4 new tires thinking that would solve it and to no avail it still does it. when I turn the wheel to the right it gets louder, and when I turn to the left the sound dull"s a bit if anything the radio covers the noise really well, but any ideas as to what is going on would be great
papabear2565 Posts: 2I have a 2002 Dodge Neon SXT with 111,000 miles. Fuel consumption is about 22mpg or 225 miles on one tank. A couple of months ago I began hearing a tapping noise coming from the head when I started it up in the mornings. I'm almost certain it is a valve or "lifter". I noticed a fluid in my intake manifold while servicing the air filter. My exhaust does not have visible emissions. During acceleration I lose power. The car also idles loud and at 650RPM, sometimes it will putter. Any suggestions???
I'm afraid it's a head and timing issue... timing I don't mind, but replacing the head is questionable. Love the car would like to resolve this issue in an affordable manner.
Thanks -

teenneon Posts: 1Hey I am 18 years old and I think I may know your problem. I love my neon it is candy apple red I keep it nice and clean all the time. I recently heard a tapping noise at start up and when i would turn it off and also when it was running and could not figure it out. I finally opened the hood to see that one of the spark plugs was loose and not torqued down. Not long after that the aprk plug popped out on me and i had to have it towed. The problem is fixed now and the car is quite again. I am not sure this is your problem but it sounds somewhat like mine so i thought id give my input.
normb1 Posts: 1Hello, I have 1995 Plymouth Neon 78K miles has been very well taken care of. The problem is when I first start the car in the morning after a few seconds I can hear a tapping noise, after about 20 seconds the noise fades away and will not come back until the next morning it seems to be coming from under the engine area. The longer the car sets say 2-3 days the noise will be louder but will go away after 20-25 seconds. The engine oil I can drink it is so clean. Any help at all would be great.
jeepboy08 Posts: 49My 2005 Dodge Neon (Metallic Blue with chrome accents) did that to me earlier this year. I could not find out what the problem was, even though I am great with cars. I decided that I need to have the FRONT brakes looked at, as they were getting to be a little weak. Maybe that could be your problem, but then again, I am not completely sure. It shouldn't hurt to get them checked out.
fuze59 Posts: 4normb1.. I have a 2001 with 147k on it.. I have the exact same problem! When i start it up i get an engine tapping noise.. if i dont start for 3 days the tapping noise is quite a bit louder.. on cold mornigs its quite bad too..goes away when warmed up..
Hoping its not an engine knock!!!! as i just got the car last week..
I remember on my motorbike (kawasaki) i had the same thing. mechanic told me cos the piston and cylinder were made out of different materials they expand at different rates.. when its cold thast the slap of the piston..once it warms up and metals expand that fraction of a millimeter it will go.. hope this is not the problem cos it only gets worst..
any suggestions would be great.. -
bmulder Posts: 198 dodge neon electrical system is dead, car will crank and battery is charged. I have no lights of any kind, radio. Prior to this my radio would go dead and come back on, the headlights at night would go bright than return to normal. I am thinking alternator/voltage regulator or computer. Battery id not going dead just absolutely nothing electrical works car will not run.
mikesimm24 Posts: 1I have a 2004 Dodge neon and lately I started hearig a loud rattleing noise comming from the engine area whenever the car is in drive. I had reasontly changed the top and lower right engine mount but that did'nt solve the problem. This sound only happens when in drive not neutral, not reverse and it has started to get louder. I suspect wheel bearings but cant afford to keep guessing. Not only is the noise loud but it also vibrate through the gas peddle. Any idea what this could be?

I have some trouble with squirrels and/or chipmunks (I have both but don't know who's to blame) digging in my perennial beds. In some cases there are actual holes, so I tend to blame the chipmunks. If I put it down, they'll dig it up. Buggers. Anyway, I found that sprinkling a bit of blood meal on top of the mulch (shredded cedar mulch) will keep them from rooting around in it. But how much blood meal is too much? I am growing flowering perennials and cherry tomatoes in the areas in question. |

Blood meal is about 13% nitrogen. I would suggest that you not put out more blood meal than you would a 13-0-0 fertilizer. |
Well, I wouldn't know a 13-0-0 fertilizer if it bit me in the behind. Nor would I know when and when not to apply it. I garden only with compost, GCM, Soybean meal, some bone meal, and a little blood meal, with excellent results. I've never been quite sure about how much nitrogen is okay around flowing plants, since I believe it encourages foliage? Is there any sort of eyeball method or rule of thumb when using blood meal? |
There is no really good way to know how much Nitrogen is too much because it depends on how active a Soil Food Web you have, the soils moisture level, and how available the Nitrogen is, and the N in blood meal is very available. Sprinkling a very little, just enough to make the area smell, blood meal over your mulches may mean something less than you spread around would be available to the plants, bacteria in that mulch would use it to digest the mulch, but that too depends on how much moisture is put down after application since a little too much could wash that blood meal into the soil. A little too much Nitrogen in the soil, available to the plants,would cause lush, green growth that is much more attractive to many insect pests. Probably a much better way to keep the rabits put of the planting beds is to put good, tight fences in place. While the initial expense is higher than some blood meal over time those fences are much less expensive long term, and more effective. |
I'm not sure there is a fence built that'll keep out a squirrel or chipmunk (the animals in question here). Maybe an electrified one. Ohhh, now there's an idea! Zap those little buggers! I can't see me putting a fence around my perennial beds. Which is where I keep the cherry tomato. It looks good, trust me :) Thanks for the info, though. I will just try to keep the blood meal to a minimum and not when rain is forecast. |

In your situation, I wouldn't worry about how much is too much. To deter critters, you want to keep a light dusting on the garden all the time. Reapply after rain of course. Other things like heavy dew might affect it also. You will have to learn by experience how often to reapply to maintain the scent animals find offensive. You would never put a lot on at one time knowing that it has short term effectiveness on varmints. Small amounts sprinkled on very often should not have much effect on garden plants. I'd also keep it sealed in an airtight bag just on the chance it might lose some of the smell over time. Hope it works for you. |

I hesitate to mention this because some folks may be put off but I've found a great predator urine that is free and very effective: human. You can just collect it in a jar and then sprinkle it around the borders of your beds. It's help keep away most pests: rabbits, squirrels, etc. I even ran a ground hog off by pouring it into his/her hole for several days. Cheap and works for me. |
On the same line as the above poster, fox urine used in a small amount may be of benefit. Some predator urines can be purchased at most sporting goods stores... Blutranes |
Predator urine may help, provided those predators are native to the area and the squirrels and chipmonks recognoze that urine as being from a predator. If these wee buggers do not know that that urine is from a predator they will pay not more attention to it than they do dog urine. Around here foxes and coyoytes are not, and have not been, native for many generations so the urine from either one would have no affect on the target critters. |
Now there's a fine way to make a living: Collecting fox pee. No wonder it's expensive. I'm not sure if human pee would keep the squirrels out. They thumb their noses at me on a regular basis, why would the smell of humans bother them? Well, the bloodmeal works, so I'll use a pinch of that around new plantings (the sort they like to dig up the best) and on patches of fresh mulch. |
- Posted by nygardener z6 New York (My Page) on Sat, Jul 28, 07 at 10:06
If you lay it on mulch you should have no problem. The blood meal will help the mulch decompose more quickly, turning the mulch into compost over time. |

Perez Hilton Feuding With Lily Allen
by Missy at . CommentsOh Boy! One of our favorite gossip bloggers, Perez Hilton, is having a war of words with singer Lily Allen. The exchange of bitter remarks started on the social network site Twitter.
Here's the lo-down: Perez posted photos on his website of Lily dancing and said something to the effect that she resembling an "awkward cow". Not taking too kindly to the remark, Allen shot back saying, "I'm sorry, we've already cast the jealous and bitter lonely old queen role. Next time eh?"
Hilton shot back with, "Jealous of who? David Beckham, maybe. And if I wanted to be a f**ed up Brit, I'd rather be Amy Winehouse - whose (sic) got talent."
Not one to back down, Perez kept it going with, "Congrats on your album doing well in America, though. It's REALLY HARD to sell copies when you discount it to $3.99. Desperate!" Allen's comment? "It's also number one everywhere else in the world, douchebag. Go away you little parasite...God, you're like so obsessed with me it's embarrassing."
More on the feud here.

This man is disgusting and detestable. The stuff I scraped off the bottom of my shoe yesterday has more redeeming qualities than he does. I wish people would stop giving attention whores like him the attention they crave. Maybe then they would go away and find real lives and possible seek therapy.
Perez Hilton, and other little gossip writers/bloggers/whatever, should go get real jobs/lives.
this dude is crazy

I posted this in the appliance forum too but wanted to get others feedback from this forum. My KA French door refrigerator was installed yesterday and later in the day I noticed a small dent on the left door. I called Sears & spoke with the sales man who I worked with and a new refrigerator is scheduled to be delivered later this week. Question - is it possible to just replace the door with the dent? If so, would you do it? The reason I'm asking is it was a PIA to get this refrigerator inside the house and maneuvered into the kitchen. Now Sears will have to remove this refrigerator and bring in another w/o scratching up my new kitchen. It makes me nervous something will happen to my new cabinets. Any opinions are welcomed...thanks!! |

I checked out getting new doors for two clients and the new doors on their own were really expensive, compared to the overall price of the new fridge. If Sears replaces the fridge they can sell that one as scratch and dent, but they can't do anything with a single door. |
That's what I was thinking too, palimpsest, about a damaged door. It would just be less stress on me. Hopefully the Sears guys are professional and it will be a cinch for them to move out the damaged frig & get the new one in w/o damaging anything. |
Why don't you ask them when they get there if they'll just swap the doors? |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 11:47
Perhaps they can just replace the ss skin. My fridge was damaged when being delivered. They thought they ordered new skins, however doors arrived. Then they got the part number right and the skins showed up. The doors and skins came to a total of about $3k. (It was a 48" Thermador fridge). We didn't pay for any of it, they did. AND, they didn't take the doors back--they didn't know what to do with them. |

You're lucky ... when I discovered a big scratch on my KA door right after the installers left, I was told by my retailer that I signed for it so I would have to deal with it through the service department. It took two months for the new door to arrive ... with a dent. I am now waiting for a second door to be delivered. Estimated delivery time ... two months. Here's something interesting ... the new door looks perfect up close. If you examine it from top to bottom while standing right in front of the refrigerator, it looks flawless. But if I stand back and look at the refrigerator from a distance, a nice size dent is clearly visible. The dent must be very shallow, but there is obviously a dent. In fact, the installer (to his credit) pointed it out to me. He was standing on one side of the room and could see it, while I was standing right next the fridge and couldn't. Removing and reinstalling the door took all of about 5 minutes, but my guess is that your installers will not want to simply switch doors when they arrive because that is not what their service order instructs them to do. If you want to exchange the door only, you should try to set that up with the service department ahead of time. When you get your new refrigerator, examine it very carefully while the installers are still there. Move around the room and look at it from different angles and under different lighting (turn the lights on and off). That KA clear coat finish can be tricky! |
I had a similar experience about 5 months ago when I had a new Samsung French Door delivered from Lowe's. I had ordered a model without water & ice in the door, and the day before delivery I got a call saying that the model had been backordered. They offered me a free upgrade to the model with water & ice in the door. I didn't really want that, but said ok since they couldn't give me an ETA on when the model would be delivered. I didn't notice the dent until after the installers left. I called my local store where I purchased the fridge, talked to the guy that I had delt with the day before and later that day the delivery guys came back with a new door, replaced it in about 5 minutes, and I was a happy camper. I know my experience may not be typical of dealing with a big box store, but I got a great deal on the fridge ($1250 for a 25 cf model) and was very happy with the way they handled both problems. |
I called my sales guy @ Sears to see about replacing the door. Hope to hear back soon. It would make my life easier - I'd like to start using the new frig instead of having to walk out to the garage every time I need something. :) |
- Posted by TorontoTim (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 19:38
Take lots of pics immediately before and after (and during) the removal/replacement. Even better, set up a video camera and record the entire event. Call me paranoid :) |
Sears called me back & they can't replace the door. Said it has to do w/ the warranty & integrity of the seal. Glad I inquired. I will check the refrigerator over before it even comes into my house. Keeping fingers crossed this one is perfect. Someone's going to get an awesome deal @ the Sears Outlet center on the one they're removing from my kitchen if they don't mind a small dent right in the middle of the door. |
Jellytoast, when DH and I were at the appliance showroom we noticed a kichen aid fridge with a noticeable dent. When we walked up to the fridge the dent was barely noticeable and when we felt where the dent was it wasn't at all noticeable by touch. This really freaked me out and it took me forever to chose the stainless because of this. My mind and my practical side wanted to go with black floating glass but my heart and aesthetic side finally won out. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 20:29
Holly-kay, that's just how mine is ... you can't feel the dent at all, but stand back at a distance and there it is. kgolby, that comment by Sears kind of concerns me now, since I am waiting on a replacement door. Did they elaborate at all about what they meant by "the integrity of the seal"? |
Jellytoast, No, he didn't. He left me a voicemail & just said replacing the door isn't an option. Not sure if this matters but I have the style w/ the water/ice dispenser in the door. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 23:20
Thanks, kgolby. Mine is the style without the dispenser, and maybe that makes a difference. The new dented door that they put on seems to seal just fine. |
My situation may be different because my refrigerator is a side-by-side, but my Kenmore Elite came with a small dent on the door with the water dispenser. When they came to replace it they asked if I wanted a new refrigerator or just the door replaced. I had them replace the door which only took a few minutes. The guys were great and even spent time explaining some of the features to me. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 1:33
Maybe kgolby's sales guy's comment about warranty issues have to do with taking a door off of one refrigerator and putting it on another ... I can see why maybe they'd be reluctant to do that. Or mabye he means that she'd have to go through the warranty department to get a new door, while Sears could authorize changing the entire refrigerator. Regardless, I don't think the comment about the integrity of the seal makes sense. |

Hi. Does anyone know if blue bean fruit requires a pollinator? I have one, and thought it was self fertile, but all the things I thought were developing fruits have fallen. Well, I think they were young fruits since they stuck around after what I think were the female flowers fell off and pictures on Dave's Garden show them growing in threes. Here's a picture of them:
Anyone know how this species works? I've been waiting a while to try them and now that it has flowered the fruits are almost all gone. Thanks. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Forming blue bean fruits?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Loki!
Facts about Loki
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Loki's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Loki was dropped off at the pound with his 3 brothers and sister when they were only 4 weeks old. Unfortunately, his sister and a brother passed away from failure to thrive and parvo. Loki is now 9 weeks old and will be ready for his forever home after he is neutered. He will also be up to date on shots, de-wormed, vet checked and microchipped.
Other Pets at Ruff Road Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Loki, a Nashua Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Nashua, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Nashua.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Nashua already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Nashua breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Nashua paves the way for another one to be saved.

Survey Shows Luxury Spending Returning
Posted: June 25, 2009
page 2 of 2
"[However], despite these positive indications, more than 40% of all the affluents surveyed said they plan to cut their spending on luxuries in the next 12 months," said Danziger. "So we are seeing a long, slow crawl to higher levels of affluent consumer confidence. At the same time, there continues to be trouble ahead for luxury marketers, as the affluents are holding back on their expectations about spending more on luxuries for the remainder of the year."
"We remain cautious about the luxury market's prospects after the recession," said Tom Bodenberg, chief economist, Unity Marketing. "It is likely that there will be an uptick in luxury consumer spending once the recession has played its course, as some affluents will relieve pent-up demand for luxury goods as a vehicle of lifestyle aspiration and expression. At the same time the media's focus on 'recession chic'—personal expression that deliberately excludes luxury goods—may leave a lingering distaste for conspicuous consumption and parading luxury labels."
The full report is available from Unity Marketing.

Gene Counts: Law-abiding citizens are punished
Tuesday, April 9, 2013
I was disappointed with the letter to the editor that Charlie Brown wrote in the Craig Daily Press on April 3. He is my friend, and I have known him for years. I just don't know why he is so fired up on enforcing the letter of the so-called gun law, which is designed only to help the politicians and to punish law-abiding citizens. We also have a Constitution to uphold.
Hundreds of thousands of American soldiers gave their lives to keep this country free. To let some governor sign it all away with a stroke of a pen is ridiculous. We should recall Hickenlooper.

Reshoots are just about done on the New Zealand set of ''Lord of the Rings: Return of the King'' (in theaters Dec. 17), but the buzz is already well underway. Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins) tells MTV.com that director Peter Jackson has promised this final installment in the trilogy will be ''the most massive war movie ever shown on film.'' Costar Ian McKellan (Gandalf) has warned bloodthirsty fans had also better bring their hankies to opening day, stating '''Return of the King' will be part-weepy'' on his official website.
But until Christmas rolls around, hobbit lovers will have plenty of other ''LOTR'' goodies to amuse themselves with. The first DVD for ''Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers'' will be released Aug. 26, to be followed by an extended edition in November, which promises 43 minutes of never-before-seen footage. Here are a few of the goodies to look for on the summer release:
-a short film by Sean Astin (who plays Samwise Gamgee) called ''The Long and Short of It.'' A Sundance 2003 film fest entry, it's the guest talent that really stands out: Peter Jackson plays a bus driver (he's also the executive producer); Wood served as an assistant director.
-a video for ''Gollum's Song'' by Emiliana Torrini. The fledgling singer has been a frequent opening act for Moby and Sting, and once turned down an invitation to join the Sneaker Pimps.
-a 10-minute behind-the-scenes preview of ''Return of the King.'' No word on what we'll see, but keep your fingers crossed for a peek at Shelob, a monstrous spider who has it in for Frodo and friends, as well as the bloody Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Down the Procurement Pub with the rain in Dubai, the PAC, economists and Royal Blood
- November 22, 2013 10:30 AMAfter a fortnight of rushing around, with conferences, speeches and the like, this week was much quieter, hence the Hobgoblin at home in the picture. A few postponed meetings made it even less eventful than planned, but I have been working on the preparations for our "Transforming Procurement" Real World Sourcing session next week – with an exciting transformation quiz for delegates as well. (Preparing that has taken me about as long as writing the core material, to be honest…) Meanwhile, Guy Allen was out in Dubai delivering another Real World Sourcing event session there for Tejari, the BravoSolution jv in the region. I got a very grumpy email from him yesterday – it was raining! In Dubai!
I've watched about half of the Public Accounts Committee hearing with senior people from Capita, Serco, G4S and Atos – that's related to the NAO reports we featured here. I'll cover it more fully next week but the best moment in what I've seen so far came when the Chair, Margaret Hodge, asked the four execs whether they'd paid for people to "prep" them in advance of the session. (Obviously something she felt shouldn't be happening). "Why are you asking"? said Alistair Lyons of Serco. "Do you think we should have"? Very witty.
Those of you whose organisations work to the calendar year may well be into the final stages of the budgeting and forecasting phase for 2014 now. I'd love to help but… I'm more confused than ever about the outlook for inflation in particular. You can read one economist warning that pumping money into the economy as governments have been doing will inevitably lead to inflation – or take the record prices paid for works of art by Warhol and Bacon (£89 million!) over the last few weeks. Is that indicative of too much cash sloshing around the system?
But then I read other learned economists suggesting deflation in Europe (a la the Japanese "lost decade") is the bigger threat. US manufacturing is up and down; I've seen predictions of a minor recession for late 2014; and others for a real boom. Economists – dontcha just love 'em!
I was looking at the Supply Management blog last night (it's not really a blog, more a succession of guest articles, raging through the good, the bad and the marketing pitch ugly . And Joe, why aren't you writing a guest piece for us?) Anyway, I noticed that they do not appear to have had a single "comment" for 16 days. Now you may draw your own conclusions, but I can't help wonder if it is broken? I made a comment anyway so we'll see what happens. And Supply Management types reading this, you might want to look at your system…
Finally, there's not much new music around as we approach Christmas and acts / labels save the new stuff for the New Year. But here is Royal Blood,one of the hottest new bands in the UK and this demonstrates why – catchy, tough, and danceable… great stuff, a tip for the top in 2014 without a doubt. And we'll have more of those predictions next month.

Karl Litten was no stranger to golf design in Egypt having already laid out the 27-hole Dreamland golf complex a decade earlier when he set out the course at Stella Di Mare in 2006.
Indeed, ten years before Dreamland opened, the architect had supervised the construction of the Emirates (Majlis) course in Dubai so he was well versed in the art of desert golf design when he took on this Red Sea project.
Considering the experience that Litten had gained during his previous ventures in North Africa and the Middle East, its easy to see that he was the ideal person to lead the New Wave of Egyptian golf course development in the 21st century.
Stella Di Mare is far from a typical holiday resort course it can be stretched to 7,150 yards from the back markers and its capable of testing the very best of players so visiting golfers are advised to be very careful in their choice of tees.
After an easy introduction to the round on the opening two par fours, the toughest hole on the front nine arrives at the 592-yard par five 3rd, where the hole doglegs from tee to green with sand to the left and water to the right of the fairway.

I am wondering if there is any kind of orange tree that is hardy to zone 8A? |

- Posted by gene_washdc z7 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 17, 07 at 7:53
Are you using "orange" generically to mean any citrus, or do you mean specifically a sweet orange that one eats out of hand? There are a few options for ornamentals or citrus to use in cooking (i.e. zest, juice). Check out this site: http://mckenzie-farms.com/index.htm |
- Posted by dave_in_nova VA zone 7a (My Page) on Wed, Jan 17, 07 at 7:55
I believe there are some trifoliate hybrids that would do well in your area. Are you in New Mexico? You might do some research on Citranges, Citrandarins, Citrumelos, as well as some of the hardier Tangerine varieties (10-degree tangerine, Keraji Mandarin, Changsha, etc.) Have you noticed any other citrus in your area? |
- Posted by oregon_veg 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 17, 07 at 11:36
carlsmx_z8a_nm, I am in zone 8. I am growing Satsuma mandarin, lemon, and grapefruit. They are in containers and during this recent cold snap I brought them into the greenhouse for a couple of days. I have put them in the garage before. So, I would be cautious about growing in the ground in zone 8. There are a few people downtown where it's protected that are growing mandarins outside and they are doing great! I bought mine from Four Winds. they have a hardiness chart on their web site. Tom |
- Posted by steve_nc_7b 7b NC (My Page) on Thu, Jan 18, 07 at 1:36
I'm in NC 7b ... about 10 miles from 8a. I planted a Satsuma Kimbough this past spring and after a 17 F night, it's doing fine. I have many other citrus and hybrids in my greenhouse that I will plant out this spring. |
I'm in Washington State... have had a Changsha and Meyer Lemon outside for about 4 years. The Meyer gets hit pretty hard in the winter, but the Changsha seems to be a real winner. Been down to 14f this winter and it's still looking good (my Valencia seems to have bought the farm though). |

Hi, i don't know if i live in zone 8A or just zone 8, but oranges do well over here. it does get really cold some winters and the frosts seem to damage the oranges depending on how bad the temperature is. I know people have orange trees everywhere around here and despite a little die back on the new growth, the trees seem to be fine. We had about 4 days that droped down around 26and 27 and alot of plants died , but i havn't seen any dead citrus trees. My neighbors on both sides have citrus and they are fine, one of my neighbors tree, still has a bunch of oranges on it. They sure are good! |
I'd recommend growing a satsuma on flying dragon rootstock protected as follows: Satsuma is the best tasting cold hardy citrus, seedless too. |
