The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Sanaa on June 5
Editor's Note: The following is an internal STRATFOR document produced
to provide high-level guidance to our analysts. This document is not a
forecast, but rather a series of guidelines for understanding and
evaluating events, as well as suggestions on areas for focus.
New Guidance
1. Yemen: President Ali Abdullah Saleh is in Riyadh, where he is
receiving medical treatment following a well-planned attack on his
presidential palace. Saleh's removal from the political scene is crucial
to Saudi Arabia and the United States' attempts to prevent civil war in
Yemen, but can the Saudi royals force a power transition when Saleh's
son and nephews appear willing to fight on behalf of the president? The
onus is on Riyadh to manage this crisis - we need to figure out how
exactly it intends to do so. We need to watch for follow-up attacks
against Saleh's closest relatives and keep an especially close eye on
Maj. Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's next moves as he positions himself to
fill a power vacuum in Sanaa.
2. Israel/Palestinian Territories: Palestinian-related violence has
again spiked, this time in both the West Bank and the Golan Heights. Are
these limited to the anniversaries that sparked them, or are they
symptomatic of a renewed spate of unrest that will be more persistent?
Also, the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been closed - just
after Cairo promised to open it permanently. We need to keep an eye on
the Egyptian regime's handling of the Palestinian situation and its
ability to balance popular sympathy and security concerns.
Also, is there any real shift in U.S. policy toward Israel now or in the
near future? What are Fatah's next steps in trying to maintain
legitimacy vis-a-vis Hamas? To what extent are the surrounding political
dynamics threatening Hamas' internal unity? What is the status of
negotiations for Hamas' moving its offices out of Damascus?
3. Libya: Defections from the camp of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi have
continued. Do these represent opportunistic moves at the periphery of
his power structure, or are these signs that those close to him are
beginning to abandon him and position themselves for a post-Gadhafi
Libya? Is the European Union pushing for acceptance of a de facto
partition of Libya? Can Europe accept a stalemate? What does it do next?
4. Afghanistan: There continues to be every indication that the United
States intends to continue to see through the current
counterinsurgency-focused strategy in Afghanistan, with only modest
withdrawals set to begin in July. But the architect of that strategy,
Gen. David Petraeus, is being moved to the CIA and thus removed from the
equation. With Osama bin Laden dead, the White House is at least
broadening its flexibility in Afghanistan, and we need to be on the
lookout for more subtle adjustments that might signal U.S. intentions
moving forward.
5. Russia/NATO: Ballistic missile defense will be a key topic at the
June 9 NATO-Russia Council meeting of defense ministers in Brussels. But
the meeting may also provide some indications of the status of
U.S.-Russian relations. Russian efforts to divide the alliance over
contentious issues will certainly continue. We need to monitor this
situation closely, especially as the council meeting is the first
significant meeting since the announcement of the formation of a
battlegroup under Polish command by the Visegrad Group: Poland, the
Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
Existing Guidance
1. Syria: The Syrian regime continues to try to put down widespread
demonstrations. We need to continue to watch for cracks in Alawite and
army unity as the regime resorts to more crackdowns akin to those used
in the city of Hama. Watch Turkey's moves as it tries to control the
regime's actions while trying to develop viable alternatives to the
regime of President Bashar al Assad.
2. U.S./Pakistan: What is the status of the balance among Pakistan's
civilian leadership, the military and the intelligence apparatus? What
is the impact on already strained U.S.-Pakistani relations? How far is
Washington willing to push Islamabad, and how much of the talk in
Washington will really have an impact?
3. Iran: What is the status of the power struggle between Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? We need to
understand how far Ahmadinejad is willing to push matters. Also, will
the dispute affect Iran's moves in the intelligence sphere and in its
foreign policy? Even if there is a compromise, we will need to monitor
this dynamic, because it has the potential to redefine the balance of
power within the Islamic republic.
4. Iraq: Attempts to extend the United States' military presence in Iraq
beyond the countries' 2011 deadline for withdrawal have thus far
foundered. Can U.S. overtures succeed? Can Baghdad accept a residual
U.S. military presence beyond 2011? The decision must be made well ahead
of the end-of-the-year deadline, so this quarter and next will be
critical for the United States, Iraq and the region. How do Iran's
interests come to play in the coming months in terms of consolidating
its position in Iraq? How aggressively does it intend to push its

Roacutane vs Holistic approach
I am writing this to try to pass on a bit of knowledge that may help someone suffering from acne as I did in my teens and early twenties. I am now a father of two girls aged 15 and 17, both of which have inherited my predominance for bad skin. As I wrote in this post, I was prescribed Roacutane at the age of 21 or so to deal with the acne on my back and neck – my facial spots had died down by this stage. It worked well but was pretty horrible for the six months I took it as described in the side effects post below. I could easily live with that were it not for the lasting effects that I still have 30 years later. I have an irritating patch of eczema under my left eye, permanently dry skin, itchy inner ears and an itchy scalp.
Not wanting my daughters to suffer the same problems, I looked for an alternative and found the program by Mike Waldon. When I was a youngster I tried clearasil cleanser, scrubbing my back and neck, topical creams etc, none of which made a difference. Both Sally and Julia have been using Mike Waldon's "Acne No More" holistic approach now for about 3 months and the improvement is remarkable to say the least. I am absolutely thrilled, particularly for Sally as she tends to get her spots in the same places I did.
Roacutane is so aggressive that I was desperate not to allow my girls to poison themselves with it and I hope that this short blog may convince some of you not to do so either.
Having said all that, if you really do suffer badly there really is only one thing for it – take the drug!! I did a bit of shopping around as I think Julia may well have to take it in the long run, and I found a reliable and good valued online retailer for the generic isotretinoin here.
Roacutane side effects
Roacutane has nasty side effects that you should be very aware of before considering taking this medicine. The list below lists all the ones I suffered from.
- Dry or fragile skin
- Dry or cracked lips
- Dry mouth
- Dry nose
- Itching
- Joint pains
- Nosebleed
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Peeling palms or soles
- Rash – continuing years later
- Skin infections
- Sunburn-sensitive skin
For a full description of the side effects and dangers look here.
Do not use Roacutane unless you really have to!
Like most teenagers I got spots. My cheeks were fine, I would tend to get them on my forehead, nose and neck and back. Of course I was terribly embarrassed, particularly about the sheer size of them. They were often large and painful! So I struggled through being prescribed antibiotics by my doctor – all versions of tetracycline and all completely useless. I tried every product on the market to no avail.
I assumed that once I hit twenty, they would go away by themselves. How wrong I was!! So I finally end up living somewhere else and see a dermatologist, who prescribed me Roacutane. The treatment lasted 6 months during which time I suffered from dry cracked lips and flaking itchy skin. It did actually work though and I became virtually acne free for the first time in 8 years.
The trouble was (and still is thirty-odd years later) that I am still suffering from dry skin, eczema and dandruff, which I have discovered are all side effects of Roacutane. I have a red, sore patch on my face, just under my left eye, that drives me crazy. No dermatologist can seem to cure it and they all agree it is due to the Roacutane treatment.
I have also since discovered that it is particularly dangerous for women, even before pregnancy as you are effectively being poisoned with Vitamin A!!
Having said all that, roacutane really does work on even the worst acne.
What is Roacutane?
Roacutane is a medicine that effectively dries out the skin by reducing the production of the skin's natural oil – sebum. The active ingredient is Isotretonin, which belongs to the group of medicines called retinoids derived from Vitamin A.
In the teenage years, the production of sebum increases, blocking pores which leads to spots and acne. (Have a look at this page for more info on the causes of acne).
Obviously the reduction of sebum means less blocked pores and hence less spots.

Marvin Booker's family upset at delay in lawsuit against city, deputies they say caused his death
Justice for the family of Marvin Booker may have to wait. On Monday, Booker's brother, sister-in-law and cousins stood in front of the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. in City Park and expressed their disappointment that the civil lawsuit they filed against the city and the sheriff's deputies whose actions they say led to Booker's death at the Denver jail in July 2010 will now be delayed. The trial was supposed to start today.Marvin Booker.
"We know for a fact that it was a murder that night," said Booker's brother, Spencer Booker, a preacher in Kansas City. "They need to face us."
On July 9, 2010, the 56-year-old Booker was brought to the Van-Cise Simonet Detention Center after he was arrested for failing to appear in court for a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. He spent several hours in the jail's processing area, mostly sleeping. At some point, he took off his shoes "for comfort," according to the lawsuit.Melanie Asmar Attorney Darold Killmer, flanked by Booker's family, speaks on Monday.
Attorneys for Booker and the city differ on what happened next. In the civil lawsuit Booker's family filed in October 2011 against the city, four law enforcement officers, Denver Health and two nurses, attorney Darold Killmer recounts the events like this: When Booker's name was finally called, he began walking toward the booking desk -- without his shoes. When he realized he didn't have them, he told the deputy who'd called his name that he needed to retrieve them from underneath his chair.
The deputy told him not to, but Booker didn't listen. The deputy then "pursued Mr. Booker and grabbed his arm in an attempt to restrain him," Killmer wrote. "In what may fairly be described as a massive over-reaction, four other deputies then rushed in, violently restraining each of Mr. Booker's limbs and wrestling him" to the floor. One deputy put him in a "sleeper hold," while others attempted to subdue him with nunchucks, handcuffs and a Taser. They then carried his "limp, lifeless" body to a holding cell and left him until someone realized he wasn't breathing and called for help.
Continue for more on Booker's case.

I'm indifferent both to leather and leatherette clothes. Becides, despite all my experience I've never worked with such material. But when I saw this faux leather, I couldn't leave the shop without it and all my doubts about my skills flew away in a moment:-)
I bought a special sewing machine needle for work with leather; a teflon foot ( I only bought a low part of it for 5 hryvnyas ( 50 cents ) and fixed it to the one of the usual feet which I'd never used and saved a lot because such firm foot costs here starting with $ 5.5 ); the special glue for leather isn't available here ( at least I didn't find it) so I bought a two-sided tape to fix the seam allowances. Besides, when I bought zippers, a salesman was so kind that shortened them himself to the right length :-) And here it is. Not only the result but the work brought a lot of enjoyment.
My only change – I refused from pockets' flaps because didn't want to have them on the waist.
The jacket is wel-fitted really and I got a lot of compliments today at work; a couple of my colleagues were going to visit the shop to buy the same faux leather ( didn't want disappoint them but I purchased it last spring:-))
Faux leather for the jacket and viscose for lining.

Phillips chief curator Eliza Rathbone led a committee that selected the works, which represent just a tiny fraction of the treasures owned by the Washington, D.C.-based museum. Denver was selected as a stop on the show's tour because of the longtime friendship between Phillips director Jay Gates and the DAM's Lewis Sharp.
There are so many things I like about the show that I hardly know where to begin. There are those fabulous paintings, of course, along with a handful of elegant sculptures, all of which are done by a who's who of European artists. Then there's the installation, which is laudably chronological, though not strictly so, and allows the topic of the show -- the way the Spanish old masters were a source for the birth of modernism in France -- to appear covertly and be absorbed simply by osmosis. It really works well.
Hiding the art history was no accident. Focus groups and marketing studies demonstrate that most people yawn when they hear the term "art history," so the DAM and other stops on the tour have downplayed this aspect when hawking the show. In fact, the catalogue is called Art Beyond Isms, which demonstrates how anti-art-history it is. However, by arranging the material chronologically, the art history gets put in invisibly.
This date-order approach is also an easy way to add information about stylistic development, an idea I've championed for years but had begun to believe that the town's curators were ignoring. El Greco to Picasso, laid out by DAM head curator Timothy Standring and his team, works so well, it proves I was right all along. Casual viewers will hardly notice the annoying intelligence that underlies the show, and I guarantee it won't get in their way. But if you want to look more carefully and interpret what you see, the message is completely clear. In a more or less straight line, through one coming of age after the next, the show reveals how realism gave way to impressionism, which led to post-impressionism and then to cubism and, finally, to the various kinds of modern abstraction that blossomed in the early twentieth century.
The exhibition begins in an entry gallery with only two paintings, both hanging on the wall directly in front of us. To the right is "The Repentant St. Peter," a gorgeous oil on canvas that's unmistakably El Greco. Dating to the early seventeenth century, the painting is shockingly modern in appearance, as are so many El Grecos. There's that expressionistic handling of the paint and the almost surrealist handling of the forms. The praying St. Peter is bathed in light and stands out boldly from the dark background.
Somewhat newer but still pretty old, having been completed in the 1820s, is "The Repentant St. Peter," Goya's painting of the same subject, which is also incredibly forward-looking. Goya renders the praying St. Peter confidently, in a naturalistic style, an approach that would soon be embraced by French artists in the mid- nineteenth century.
The pairing of the El Greco and the Goya is a re-creation of a configuration that was first laid out in the 1930s by the Phillips Collection's founding collector, curator and director, Duncan Phillips. It was at that time that he added the Goya to his collection, in which the El Greco was already ensconced.
Phillips was born in 1886 to a wealthy family in Pittsburgh; they moved to the nation's capital when he was still a child. As a student at Yale, he became interested in art and in writing about art. Phillips found his early fame as a critic, attacking modern art as vulgar -- an irony, given his later interests. In a review of the epoch-making Armory Show of 1913, which was filled with European modernism, Phillips took aim at exactly the same artists he would collect only a decade later, including Gauguin, Cézanne and Matisse. Later he explained himself in writing: "Consistency from youth to middle age is at best a stiff-necked virtue."
The collection began in earnest in 1916, when Phillips asked his father to provide a yearly stipend for art acquisitions. Then, in 1920, he and his mother founded the Phillips Memorial Art Gallery in two rooms of the family mansion. The following year, the Phillips quietly opened to the public, becoming the first museum in America to focus on modern art. Over the decades, the Phillips Memorial would consume the entire house as well as several additions constructed just for the gallery. In fact, the museum, now called the Phillips Collection, is currently undergoing an expansion and a renovation, which is why the paintings in El Greco to Picasso have gone on tour.

This is a place to post photos, and to discuss, what is in your garden. This is thread for December 2011.
For the Fall and Winter months, this thread should be used to post current photos of your gardens, not necessarily what is blooming. Photos of the foliage, berries, branches. Since it is December, we can also post photos of our holiday greenery and yard decor. We often talk about "visual interest" for winter. This is the place to show it off. To see previous months:
Follow-Up Postings:
No photos but two of my small pink dianthus plants (that I cut back weeks ago) are blooming! And my daylilies (also cut back down to the ground) are sending out bright new leaves! They think it's Spring. What's up with this crazy weather? Molie |
No photos - not really much to show here except a few snapdragons, alyssum, and some very stubborn bacopa (I think) that just refuses to stop blooming. Claire, your roses are lovely. I truly think my roses would be in bloom if not for that October snowstorm. That really took down a lot of things, but since then the weather has been unusually wonderful, and if the snow didn't do in so much, I can only imagine how nice the garden would have been this fall. My perennial herbs look fantastic, parsley is still going strong, but unfortunately my garlic is growing! It's an earlier variety that is supposed to planted in October, and even though I planted it in the third week of November, I guess it's just been too warm. I guess I'll be buying my garlic from the local farmer next year! My plan for next spring is to work on some shrubs, including evergreens, to give more structure to the garden - some of my beds are just too empty and dull right now! Dee P.S. Oh! How could I forget? I did plant a little ilex Winter Red in September, which is really going to town with its berries, small as it is, so I am enjoying that and looking forward to the display next year. I've been wanting this for awhile and thanks to the snow storm, I had some "new" space to plant in! |
Here is one of the few flowers actually blooming, some autumn crocus that I planted a bit late:
I tried to get photos of the wetland area along the road which sparkles when the morning sun hits the frost outlining the branches and weeds. I am not sure that I was too successful, but it is a lovely way to start my morning commute.
Foliage contrast helps to keep things interesting until the snow covers the gray.
and the same area from farther away, including the background hemlocks and a magnolia.
Rododendrons Olga Mezitt and PJM have lovely foliage in cold weather, though when it gets really cold the leaves roll up.
PJM along with a gold arborvitae (Sunkist, if I remember correctly) and dianthus.

The vegetable garden ready for spring with the garlic already planted.
I also want to thank PixieLou for maintaining the monthly show us your gardens threads. Seeing everyone else's gardens has been a real treat. I don't always add to them due my pokie connection speed, but I have taken more garden photos this year than any other due to her gentle prompting each month. |
Lovely, nhbabs! I'll second the thanks to pixie_lou, particularly the change to "Show us Your Gardens" for the fall and winter months rather than "What is Blooming in Your Garden". This is bringing out a whole new look at the landscape. It's so nice to see the lasting beauty that can be (and is being) achieved using foliage and structure rather than just flowers. January and February may actually be worth looking at here (I won't mention March). Claire |
Oops, I meant to say "Lovely, franeli and nhbabs!" but I got distracted by editing my thanks to pixie_lou. Claire |
Very nice photos,folks. We're going to have a white Christmas for sure this year! Good thing since we live in ski country. Happy Holidays! |
And Happy Holidays to you, franeli, and to all of the New England Gardening forum folks! May the Garden Watching Season (rather than Garden Action Season) be joyous and fruitful. Claire |
Claire - have you ever had roses in December before? At this rate, you may even have roses in January! I lost my camera. I think I left it at the theatre when I brought my daughter to rehearsal on Tuesday. I seriously doubt it will still be there when we get there for tonights performance. Oh well. I *know* there is a new camera for me under our tree right now, but I'm being good and leaving it there! I need to set a good example for our small child! |
pixie_lou: I just checked some of my photo files, and November is the latest for roses. I didn't dig too deep, but I doubt that I ever had roses blooming in December - certainly not this late. I do remember that Carefree Delight loses its pink color late in the season. It's mostly white now, while it's decidedly pink in July. Sorry about the camera, but you can probably hold out until Sunday (unless you tell the small child that you had to open the present early so you could take pictures of her...). Claire |
That grayish green really seems to fit in with the early winter colors. I usually think of hollies and conifers which are darker greens, but the lavenders and heaths and heathers are all lighter and muted. Interesting new thought for winter (new for me, anyway, not new for more experienced gardeners). Good luck with the lavender - our cold, wet winters can be brutal on plants that like dry soil. Claire |

I also love the look of lavender foliage in winter, although I have to admit that all mine are sprawling monsters, not nice neat clumps like Pixie Lou's. This is the first year in long time that my Christmas roses (not a rose at all, but Helleborus niger) are in bloom for their eponymous season. Just a few blooms, but they're such a glowing white at this time of year, hard to say if it's as nice - or nicer than - later in the season, when they fade to pink, and then, sometimes, burgundy. The stinking hellebores (H. foetidus) have also started, sending up their interesting (if not quite beautiful) flower spikes. The winter heath is almost in full bloom now - its season lasts many months and the purples, muted pinks and whites all lovely. I have some by the door, where the light on the porch lets me see them when I get home from work in the dark. Last, the winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) is flowering now, starting earlier than usual. Mine is in fairly deep shade in summer, and although it flowers sparsely, it will keep blooming all winter. I don't think there's any plant that is more cheerful in the dead of winter. Photos to follow, and although none of these make especially good pictures, they are certainly appreciated as I wander around the garden thinking about how far away spring is. |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Tue, Dec 27, 11 at 10:55
DTD, I don't know if you saw these, but I had posted a couple of weeks ago. Winter Jasmine has never been this colorful at this time of year. A few flowers here and there are usual throughout winter, but no as many as this year! |
I think I need my own plant of Claire's Carefree Delight rose, since between the late flowers and the bright hips it makes a nice addition to the late fall garden. I'm all for those plants that extend the blooming season, not just the season of interest in the garden. Does it have any scent? (Though I'd grow it despite a lack of scent since it has so much else of interest.) I am finally having lavender survive the winter finally after many, many years of winter killed plants. I don't trim it at all in the fall, and it is planted in an area with fine, sandy soil at the top of a long and relatively steep southwest-facing slope, so there is never water standing around the crown or roots, even during mud season. Any snow that melts immediately runs away down the slope, but when we have good snow cover, it is protected. It doesn't seem troubled by heaving. |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Tue, Dec 27, 11 at 11:52
Hard to believe we still have things in bloom on December 27th. These pics were taken today. OK, I cheated. This next one is indoors. Steve |
nhbabs: There's a descendant of Carefree Delight, called Carefree Spirit that is supposedly even better in habit and disease resistance. Whether it will bloom as long is not stated. Bill and Steve: My eyes are now attuned to muted winter colors - your photos are blinding me with their brightness!. Claire |
Steve, I have that lacy kale you included (the first one) - it's gorgeous! It seems to get better as the weather gets cooler. I've never seen it before and when I saw it in the garden center this fall I snapped up a few of them. Do you know what kind it is? Sure wish there was a bit more color today - awfully dreary out there right now... Dee |
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a 5b/6a N CT (My Page) on Tue, Dec 27, 11 at 16:40
The kale and cabbage are stunning! Wow, wow, wow--what amazing colors. I was thinking the same as Claire--they almost hurt my eyes! Dee - I hear you. It's awfully dull and drab out there today even though I'm noticing quite a few perennials keep their green foliage this late. |
nhbabs: I forgot to say that Carefree Delight has no detectible scent (to my allery-challenged nose). DtD's report of hellebores blooming reminded me to check my hellebores that usually bloom in late winter. Sure enough, H. Green Heron has buds ready to go! These will probably stay in suspended animation for the next few months, but it's a nice harbinger of spring to come. Claire |
- Posted by diggingthedirt CapeCod Zone7ish (My Page) on Wed, Dec 28, 11 at 13:47
Wow, Bill, that jasmine is amazing - mine is really sparse by comparison. Claire, is that a hybrid with some Corsican hellebore parentage? I have some like that, but not yet budded up. The foetidus normally bloom first, then the niger, the orientalis (hybridus), and anything with Corsican genes usually flowers last. Exposure really plays a role, too, but the line-up doesn't vary much. It's a really long season of bloom, taken all together! |
I just went out and checked my Hellebores. I bought 2 Grape Galaxy this fall. But I don't see any buds on them. SteveMass - you have inspired me to give ornamental kale a try. I'm probably so turned off because of the time my mother tried to feed me kale as a child! Do you plant it in the ground, or just leave it in the pots it comes in? I've always left my chrysanthemums in the nursery pots. |
DtD: I bought the Green Heron from Plant Delights which says that it's a hybrid of H. niger and H. argutifoliius (Corsican). It seems to have inherited the niger early blooming. I've only had it a couple of years but it's been a joy. I don't think any other of my hellebores has buds, but I'll have to look closer at the ones lurking behind the Itea. I've always been leery of niger because of the reports that it hates acid soil, which I have in abundance. Actually, I should have my soil tested again since I've been amending it heavily with compost and the pH may have drifted up. Claire |
pixie_lou: I just googled Hellebore Grape Galaxy. That is one gorgeous flower! and you have two plants! That's also the first time I ever saw a video devoted to a plant. Claire |
Thanks for that video link Claire. I had no idea I bought such a special plant. I saw all the photos of Hellebores people had posted last spring when I started the monthly photo spreads. So I bought the plants. I had no idea whether they were "special" hellebores, or regular old run of the mill hellebores! Though after watching that video, I'm a bit concerned - it shows that they are drought tolerant. And my shade garden can be pretty wet. I hope the plants don't drown! |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Thu, Dec 29, 11 at 10:24
Dee, I don't know the name of that lacy Kale. I too saw it at HD and just picked it up. I wish I had grabbed a few more. You are correct that it seems to get brighter and brighter. Pixie_lou, some people use these in the ground in place of annuals. They can last most of the winter sometimes. I pull the annuals out of our containers and replace them with these in late fall. Steve |
I just took an end of the year survey of my garden. The growing/blooming season is finally over! No more roses blooming, they've all gone to sleep. And the below-freezing temperatures of the last few weeks ripened the winterberries, to the delight of the cedar waxwings and robins. They've been feasting all this week. I can't believe they ate the whole thing! Well, now I can see the osmanthus again. On to next year! The garden sleeps, I think I'll go watch some birds for a few months. Happy New Year, all! |

General Zoning Issues
The ultimate future of the land in the residential red zones
Q: What decisions have been made on the ultimate future of the land in the residential red zones?
A: No decisions have been made on the final future of the land in the residential red zones
The land in the residential red zone is not likely to be suitable for continued residential living for a long time. It generally suffers from thin crust issues and/or lateral (sideways) spreading which makes the land too weak or unstable to support houses, without major area-wide land repairs which would take years to design and put in place and involve massive costs and disruption. This means permanent repairs to the infrastructure (such as roading, power and water supplies) in these areas can also not go ahead.
The council will not be installing new services in the residential red zone.
If only a few people remain in a street and/or area, the council and other providers may decide that it is no longer affordable or practical to keep services to the homes that are left.
Insurers may cancel or refuse to renew insurance policies for properties in the residential red zones.
CERA does have the power under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 to require you to sell your property to CERA for its market value at that time. It is important to note that if CERA decides in the future to use these powers to purchase your property, the market value could be much less than the amount that you would have received under the Crown's offer.
This information has been adapted from CERA's website.

My Russian Sage is looking dead. The wintered stems are dry and brittle. Will it come up from the roots? This is a new plant for me. I covered its base with leaves to protect it from winter temps and there seems to be some green near the base as I uncover it. Should I go ahead and pull away the leaves now, or is it too soon? |

i would cut it back by about 2/3rds the overall height. this helps force new growth and keeps it dense looking. you should be showing some new growth along the stems soon. try scratching the branches in a few places on the lower portion of the plant with your thumbnail to see if its greenish looking inside...which is good. but if its white or grayish then its probably not going to make it. go ahead and clear out the leaves if you like. make sure your russian sage is planted in full sun or it wont do well. alot of sun plants can handle part shade but not russian sage. |
- Posted by Michigoose Z6CT (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 05 at 14:18
I know I don't live in OH yet, but I can tell you that I have had poor experiences here because it needs good drainage. I have very clayey soil, and even though I plant it a steep hillside, I have yet to have it winter over. I also think my friends have told me it can be late to break dormancy. Hope it helps. |
I think we're a little early with this plant. If it's still looking that way in a few weeks, then worry... Mine isn't doing anything yet either. I've had it for a few years in a raaised bed and it has been trouble-free. I do absolutely nothing to it other than give it a small amt of fertilizer yearly and prune it back in early spring if it became too spindly the year before. |
I uncovered and removed old growth on mine about a week ago when I first saw green growing from the base. They are growing like gangbusters now. So I would say if you see green then it is ready. Lyn in South Central Ohio |

This is a very good, fragrance-free sunscreen for normal to dry skin not prone to breakouts. Broad-spectrum sun protection is provided by zinc oxide as well as a synthetic sunscreen active ingredient (octinoxate). If this were a pure zinc oxide sunscreen it would be a better bet for those with rosacea or extra-sensitive skin, but as is we recommend proceeding with caution if you struggle with sensitive, reactive skin. Otherwise, this is highly recommended for its sun protection and antioxidant-rich formula.
Despite being described as "light," this sunscreen has a creamy, somewhat thick texture. Note that the inactive ingredients are listed in alphabetical order rather than in descending order of content. This is permissible because in the United States sunscreens are regulated as over-the-counter drugs. Many companies selling sunscreens do list their ingredients in descending order of content to make their ingredient lists more helpful to the consumer, something Topix could have easily done, too.
The micronized zinc oxide this contains does not leave a strong white cast, but, as with any mineral-infused sunscreen, it should be blended thoroughly.
Citrix Antioxidant Sunscreen has been specially formulated with micronized zinc oxide to provide the highest level of broad spectrum protection in combination with a rich blend of free radical quenching antioxidants consisting of liposomal vitamin A,C,E, green tea extract and co-Q10. Formulation is light, oil-free and fast absorbing while providing SPF 30 protection.
Active Ingredients: Octinoxate 7.5%, Zinc Oxide 7.0%. Other Ingredients: Ascorbyl Glucosamine, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ceresin, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Coenzyme Q10, Cyclomethicone, Diazolidinyl Urea, Green Tea Extract, Laureth-7, Laurylmethicone Copolyol, Methylparaben, Phospholipids, Polyacrylamide, Propylparaben, Purified Water, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium Chloride, Superoxide Dismutase, Tocopheryl Acetate.
Topix is best known for its two chief skin-care brands, Replenix and Citrix. Of the two, we're asked most often about the Replenix collection; the Citrix line is smaller and focused on anti-aging products with vitamin C. The Replenix products contain a broader range of anti-aging ingredients, such as retinol, green tea, and grape-derived resveratrol, and the claims are broader, too—so little surprise that the Replenix products appeal to more people concerned with signs of aging. Both Replenix and Citrix offer fragrance-free formulas, albeit at fairly high prices, which is typical of most physician-dispensed lines.
A chief selling point of Topix is its physician-dispensed angle, which gives the products a medical élan; in truth, however, not a single ingredient in these products is "medicinal," prescription, or exclusive to physician-sold products. That is, you don't need to see a doctor to be "prescribed" Topix products; rather, they can be obtained from several websites, no appointment necessary. The big question is whether or not you should add any Topix products to your shopping cart—and the answer is "it depends."
Within the Replenix line, the most interesting products include the serums and moisturizers. Although none of them are superior to the best options available, most of them do offer good (though pricey) formulas that treat skin to a range of beneficial ingredients.
If you're keen on retinol (and it's a great anti-aging ingredient), Replenix has you covered with several serums offering different strengths of retinol. The various strengths allow you to "step up" to stronger retinol products once your skin has acclimated to the lower strengths. Although that sounds intriguing, it's not really necessary. As we explain in the reviews, more retinol is not necessarily better, and some may find the higher-strength retinol products too sensitizing, so caution is warranted. Indeed, some people cannot tolerate any amount of retinol!
The Citrix products aren't all that exciting unless you want vitamin C in every product. Although there's nothing wrong with vitamin C, it's a mistaken notion to focus on one hero ingredient because skin requires a variety of beneficial ingredients to look and act younger. Topix also adds growth factors to their Citrix serums, but these growth-factor ingredients are unproven for topical use and may present risks (we explain why in the reviews). In short, Citrix isn't all that exciting, and several of these products fall short in one way or another.
Our research revealed that Topix has some intriguing products, but, with few exceptions, there is nothing that you cannot find elsewhere for less money. It's important to let go of the notion that skin-care products sold at a doctor's office are superior to those sold elsewhere. The truth is: There are good and bad products in every retail outlet—knowing what you're buying is more important than where you're buying it or who's selling it!

The Cosmetics Cop Review was spot on with what I experienced when using this product. I found it a little too heavy for summer use in humid weather, but it was great for all other seasons. Having switched from a chemical sunscreen to this sunscreen with zinc oxide, I thought it offered much better protection and staying power. It is thick and somewhat difficult to spread, but after letting it sink into my skin for a few minutes, it was easy to apply foundation and/or powder on top. I found great deals on this product on Amazon.com.

Through the vision of Thomas B. Bond, MD, planning for the Moncrief Cancer Center began soon after World War II. With the help of several key associations and prominent local citizens, a non-profit organization was created to facilitate the new center - The Radiation and Medical Research Foundation of the Southwest. This Foundation was actually a pioneer of the concept of a true community radiation therapy center and was the first such facility in the Southwest.
The Cancer Center, then known as the Radiation Center, began treating patients in August 1958. In 1966, a generous contribution by Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Moncrief and a matching federal grant funded an expansion of the facility.
Within a decade, the center became one of the top radiation facilities in the Southwest. An additional donation of $2.5 million by Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moncrief led to another major expansion in 1979. Based on the continued generosity and guidance from the Moncrief family, the new Center was dedicated as the Moncrief Radiation Center in 1980.
In 1995, administration of the Center was given to the University of Texas System's MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. In 1999, administration was transferred to UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
The combined strength of Moncrief Cancer Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center allows for continued growth, while insuring we maintain our commitment and dedication to cancer patients. In 2006, Moncrief Cancer Center changed its direction from radiation treatment to expand its patient support services. Now in operation as Moncrief Cancer Institute, we will continue to provide the best possible patient support services available.
To provide Tarrant County and surrounding communities with the foremost science, resources and programs to reduce the threat and impact of cancer.
To further the humanitarian mission of the UT Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute organization, we will be a leader in our community's efforts to fight cancer and reduce its burden throughout the continuum of care utilizing:

MI Top Dog Dumpster Rental Lansing MI
May 20th, 2014Numerous do it yourselfers in Lansing, Michigan who are budget aware and also time conscious will often wonder where they should go to locate. Should they make numerous small loads to the local dump? On the subject of the big constuction pieces that the dump will not take, what ought to be done? Where can they go to discover reliable service and decent prices for their household projects?
Dumpster rental is a viable substitute for making many and repeated trips to the local landfill. With the new EPA guidelines, in fact, the amount of debris and kinds of debris permitted into a landfill is quite restricted. Most do not know this until it is too late and they have to pay massive fees for removal as well as disposal or they are left with a pile of construction rubble that they cannot get rid of.
For many homeowners in the Lansing, Michigan area, roll off containers are an excellent option. These containers are delivered via flatbed truck, offloaded onto the residence, then when the project is finished, or the dumpster filled, the trucks will return to remove, and effectively dispose of, the rubble.
Of the numerous Lansing dumpster, Top Dog Dumpster Rental Lansing MI (517-292-2146) appears to be one of the best due to their convenience to numerous local areas and their availability. They won't put a dent in the construction budget and they present rapid delivery to several of the Lansing areas, and areas surrounding Lansing, Michigan. A lot of dumpster companies will not eliminate collapsible demolition bags purchased at large home improvement stores, so this is an incredible question to inquire about before committing to any company.
Before you choose a dumpster company, you need to ask if they deliver and take away a dumpster. Will there be any extra costs for disposal? What if the homeowner will need the dumpster for a lengthier period of time since they have underestimated the time it will take to complete their job? Lastly, how soon can the dumpster be delivered to the work site?
As many organizations are not locally owned, but they are national brokers, you should make certain that the dumpster that is rented for bulk trash removal be close to the Lansing, Michigan area, like Top Dog Dumpster Rental Lansing MI. These national brokers advertise in the local area, but don't have their home offices there. Bargain experts will show you because of this, the dumpsters' prices might be driven up by more than 20%. This also tends to make coordination and scheduling of times for dumpster delivery a headache since they have to go through a routing system in their home offices, which could be several states away. With these bigger companies, quality control can be a problem too.
Top Dog Dumpster Rental Lansing MI (517-292-2146) makes it uncomplicated to obtain the right dumpster for the do it yourselfer, the construction foreman, and those who wish to locate someone that is reliable in the Lansing, Michigan area. Businesses such as this ensure it is easy to schedule a consultation, delivery and get the project underway especially as they are locally managed and based in the area.
What You Should Look Out For About Dumpster Rental Tips
There are lots of items to take into consideration when small and large companies need to rent a dumpster for their trash removal needs. Take Lansing MI into consideration simply how much trash is accumulated by employees every day or every week. On the subject of renting a dumpster, you'll want to research the different sizes which can be obtained. While many different dumpster rental companies are out there, it is essential to select a trustworthy company whenever you rent a dumpster.
Companies who do plenty of construction work will have lots of garbage to throw away. They have to choose which size dumpster they want to rent. If they do not locate a sufficient dumpster, they will be calling the trash company repeatedly throughout the week to empty the dumpster. This could end up costing you lots of money if companies have to come to the work site and keep up with the trash frequently in the week. For most construction jobs, a 40-yard dumpster will do the trick.
Homeowners will often need to rent a dumpster, and for the kind of project they have, they might not know what size of dumpster they require. It can unquestionably be difficult to gauge simply how much trash is thrown away and how swiftly the dumpster will fill up. For cleaning out a small basement or for a landscaping project, renting a 10-yard dumpster is a great guideline.
Renting a 15-yard dumpster will be fine for people who are moving out of their house. This is the ideal size to throw old furniture and other items away. It will lighten the load that the movers will have to carry, and the moving bill will surely cost less. For smaller businesses that are moving out of an office complex, this size dumpster will also be good.
A 20-yard dumpster could also be used by homeowners that are rebuilding or removing a deck for their house. This will hold trash as well as wood when constructing or destructing large decks. Contractors remodeling a room in homes also typically rent a 20-yard dumpster.
A 30-yard dumpster might be used by large jobs, like putting a new roof on a house. This will take care of all the old shingles which were on the roof, and any old wood that requires replacing. To discard debris and other materials, medium construction jobs will use a 30-yard dumpster. The can help reduce the amount of injuries that people will receive because the employees will not be tripping or climbing over garbage.
When they need to rent a dumpster, homeowners as well as small to large business owners will now know several tips. The right size can handle any size job or project. People need to make sure their dumpster rental is large enough so they are not calling the company to empty the dumpster twice a week.

I'm new to this forum but have been reading about this same pest. I've found many (about 10 or so) of these creepy things on the top soil layer of my potted kaffir lime tree. I have tried the following sprays but none seem to work:
The creatures curl up for a couple minutes then unwind and simply crawl back around. Can anyone help identify what these creatures are and also how to get rid of them? I've shared a link below. Thanks for any tips! :) |
Image link: Are these millipedes and how do I get rid of them? (54 k)
Follow-Up Postings:
Why do you think you need to "get rid" of millepedes? For the most part millepedes are not harmful in the garden and are really quite beneficial since they help convert organic matter into plant food to help your plants grow. |
Here is a link that might be useful: About Millepedes
cenesia, while what kimmsr says might be true of your garden, it is not desirable to have a population of millipedes in your containers. They will end up being interested in the roots of your plant. If that were my plant, I would repot it in some new medium. You may wish to visit the Citrus Forum for some ideas on good mixes for citrus. Anyway, while repotting, I'd add some diatomaceous earth (DE) to the mix and on the surface of the soil once you've repotted. DE can be found in the gardening section of almost any retail outlet. Be sure that you use horticultural/grade and not the DE that is sold for pool filters. |
Thanks rhizo_1, I'll try the DE substance you suggested! Hopefully that'll do it. |

I have tried the following sprays but none seem to work: - Orchard Insect Killer (active ingr: lambda cyhalothrin 0.002%); - Spinosad 0.001%; - Insecticidal soap 1% ===>>> you are a toxic danger .... they are in the soil .. change the soil.. and be done with it.. why do you need more chemicals.. or organics .. crimminey ... the easiest.. SAFEST solution is staring you in the face ... and you want to go spray/dust more things around ... ken PS: the DE is on the surface.. they live under the surface.. if you have drainage holes.. they will use those.. DE is NOT going to solve the problem ... though it might slow them down ... rhiz said change the soil FIRST ... then try DE .... |
I also said to add the DE to the mix. |
Since Millepedes live on decaying organic matter, and need a pretty moist environment, their presence in containers, pots, may be because the growing medium is too moist, too wet, and needs to be allowed to dry more between waterings. Some people have a fear of any "bug" and think drastic measures are needed to control each and every one whereas most often simple measures, such as allowing a plants soil to dry more, is all that is needed. The single most common cause of a plants, especially a potted plant, failure is overwatering. |
In a peat based medium, simple NORMAL moisture is just fine for millipedes. As a matter of fact, one would need to dry the potting soil to the point of dessication of the plant in order for a little population of these arthropods to evacuate. Drier soil conditions is one of the things that would encourage them to begin feeding on plant roots in earnest. Millipedes in containers is a simple case of plants being in the wrong place at the right time. They can be brought home from the garden center where storage and maintenance might be an issue, or from the growers who may not practice proper housekeeping in keeping the benches or floors swept. Millipedes can find their way to container plants when they (the plants) are put outside for the summer under a shady tree. A common contaminant is the potting medium, itself. If even a pinhole tear occurs in the plastic bag as it sits in a big pile on the floor of the garden section, millipedes will find their way to that habitat. And, if you've ever been in the back of one of the big delivery trucks direct from the grower in Florida (or wherever) you'll know why you end up with all kinds of 6,8, and zillion-legged creatures in the plants you buy. |
If you can see the creatures, pick them out with a gloved hand and either kill them or throw in another part of the garden. I never spray an insect i can catch. But of course I like insects. And some are too fast like the Four-lined bug. That is my enemy and I must squirt them with insecticidal soap. |
- Posted by RadiantPoppy 7b (My Page) on Wed, Mar 28, 12 at 19:51
Agree with kimmsr. I have had populations of bugs in potted plants that have not done the plants any harm. From what I have seen millipedes are amongst the most harmless of bugs next to pillbugs. I would just leave them alone. If they aren't eating the plant then there isn't a problem. |
- Posted by anniehall77 none (My Page) on Thu, Mar 7, 13 at 15:17
I believe I have either centipede or millepieds that may or may not have arrived with 2 large dracena palm-like plants. Is it possible for either of these bugs to live in the floorboards of an NYC aparment on their own, or would they definitely originate in a plant? I read in earlier posts in this conversation that they may appear due to overwatering? But, that also changing the soil and cleaning roots could work? Should I also clean all of the palm-like leaves? I'm aftraid that cleaning the leaves (or doing anything indoors as we don't have an outdoor space) will allow the bugs to drop or hatch....advice??? |
Neither Millipedes nor Centipedes are pests that need to be gotten rid of, unless they live in the pot of a house plant. If that is what you have then allowing the potting soil to get dryer then normal, or repotting is the best solution. |

hey annie it was said.. a bit above: Since Millepedes live on decaying organic matter then you asked: Is it possible for either of these bugs to live in the floorboards of an NYC aparment on their own, or would they definitely originate in a plant? ==>>> can you answer your own question??? .. are your floorboards decaying ??? .. they came with the plant ... ken |

Many people volunteer through a number of organizations, such as churches, hospitals and civic groups. There are many ways that you can volunteer. Michelle Collins-Robinson lends her talents wherever she can get involved.
Whether it's the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia (CHSV), First Baptist Church of Centralia, raising funds for American Civil War Sesquicentennial or being appointed to Gov. McDonnell's Department of Medical Assistant Services committee, Ms. Collins-Robinson offers her time where she can lead the parade to big things.
Recently, Collins-Robinson, lent her talent to help organize a section of the Richmond Symphony to perform at the First Baptist Church of Centralia. You may also know her for organizing Tavern Talk at Howlett's Restaurant and Tavern. With guests such as former Sen. George Allen, candidate for the Senate; Terry McCullough; Tim and Daphne Reid; and a forum of newspaper editors – Collins-Robinson, through CHSV, added culture to the village of Chester.
Born in Norfolk, Collins-Robinson made her way to Chester via Philadelphia, Cleveland, Virginia Beach and a number of other locations. She said she found Chester to be extremely lacking in cultural activities. She says, it's one reason she began to volunteer here.
"I was sitting reading the 'New York SD [Social Diary,] the Washington edition, and came upon a section about different forums that were going on in the city and I said that would be very neat for this area."
"I try to stay busy," Collins-Robinson said. She says she spends her time volunteering and consulting.
Collins-Robinson is currently working to raise money for a monument that will overlook the Dutch Gap Canal that was built by African-American soldiers during the Civil War for the Union troops.
The memorial monument is tentatively named "U.S. Colored Troops Memorial."
"The Henricus Foundation did approve it." Charles Grant, director of Henricus Historical Park said. "But they will not be paying for it. The money will be raised by an independent group." He said the project will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000. Grant said he thinks the project is still a year away.
First Baptist Church of Centralia is working to bring more culture to the area and Collins-Robinson is a big part of that effort. She says the Richmond Symphony concert was one of their first attempts to do so. She also said she would like to get more involved with the Chesterfield Center for the Arts Foundation, which when completed, will be a focal point for arts and culture in the Chester area.
Her work with the CHSV is primarily devoted to recognizing African-American history, which is so much a part of Chesterfield's past, although she does hold a position on the board.
"We've just been glad to have her as a valued member of the board," said Therese "Tra" Wagenknecht, president of the CHSV. Mrs. Wagenknecht said she has been very helpful with fundraising.
"It seems like most people focus on black history during Black history month," Collins-Robinson said. "But I would like to see black history recognized all year round." She thinks that there are many blacks and black families who people need to know about including Marguerite Christian, the Friend family and Magnolia Patron, who are just a few of the black population in Chesterfield who have done good things.
Just prior to the Village News interview, Collins-Robinson had just returned from the Virginia Union 35th annual leadership breakfast. She said, "The leadership breakfast brings together not only political leaders but volunteers for the nonprofit organizations. It's also a chance for the nonprofits to get in front of the political leaders." She was nominated for the Department of Medical Assistant Services Board position by someone she says she doesn't know. "You know, you can nominate anyone for one of the governors committees. Whenever a new person comes in they can nominate anyone to any of the boards." She said she wondered how people end up being nominated for these boards. How does someone in a little cubbyhole somewhere end up on one of the governor's boards. She looked into it finding that it's just a matter of someone to fill out a form to nominate you.
Collins-Robinson is very much involved in state politics. She said she will be working for Terry McAuliffe during his run for Virginia Governor. Collins-Robinson is a force to be reckoned with and will be seen more as time goes on volunteering to make our home a better place.

Makes about 1/2 cup
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms
- 1/2 cup boiling-hot water
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
Finely chop garlic. In a small bowl soak porcini in boiling-hot water 20 minutes. Remove porcini, squeezing out excess liquid, and reserve soaking liquid. Rinse porcini to remove any grit and finely chop. Line a sieve set over a small saucepan with a dampened paper towel and pour reserved soaking liquid through it. Add porcini and garlic to saucepan and simmer mixture until liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon, about 3 minutes. Cool mixture.
In a bowl with a fork mash together butter, porcini mixture, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well. Transfer butter to a sheet of wax paper and roll into a 6-inch log. Butter may be kept, covered and chilled, 2 days or frozen, wrapped in foil, 1 month. Bring butter to room temperature before using.
Here are a few compound butters we find particularly versatile. Using the basic technique of mashing together butter and flavoring in the recipe above, and with a little imagination, you can create your own favorites.
Beurre maître d'hôtel: 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
Truffle butter: 1 small black winter truffle or 2 small black summer truffles, chopped fine
Roquefort butter: 3 tablespoons crumbled Roquefort (only 1/2 stick butter needed for this variation)

Don't know what I'm getting my self into here :(
I wont try explaining why I want to do the following because you would probably be much too confused by it and I am too lazy to type it al out anyway. However, just to confuse you a teeny bit I will say that it has something to do with the simultaneous representation of two alternate realities.
To put it simply I want to On condition "projectile hits kActor" -> action "get the position of that kActor" -> action "get velocity of that kActor" -> action "spawn a duplicate of that kActor in the previously obtained position and with the previously obtained velocity -> action "set collision to only collide with static objects and other duplicate kActors that have been spawned in such a manner" note: spawned kActors may also have a traslucent material by which you can tell them apart Of course I havent figured out how I could get this to work. So if anyone has tips or suggestions or if anyone recons its doomed to fail for any particular reason, please let me hear it. I'll keep posting here if I have any success. |
