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.

Subject: Report from CEO
On April 22, 2008, a bit over six months ago, Stratfor implemented a
program to redefine its direction. Part of that redefinition was a painful
reduction of costs. Since 75 percent of Stratfor's costs are connected to
salaries that meant letting go a great many people. That was painful but,
as I explained at the time, it was not so much about some people losing
their jobs as allowing the majority of employees keep theirs. After six
months I'm confident that we've done that.
Prior to April 22, we had set the following goals:
1: To reduce costs below known and predictable revenue.
2: To pay off all outstanding arrears.
3: To shift the focus of the company to publishing and away from CIS or GV
4: To preserve the core of Stratfor, its intellectual and creative
We have achieved those goals.
By the end of May, the company was showing a small profit. The cuts we
made and Don Kuykendall's and Jeff Stevens' rigorous implementation of
those cuts bought us from the brink of insolvency to profitability in
thirty days. Cash flow issues-which are different than profit and loss
issues-were bought under control by July. That meant that we could pay
salaries and bills without concern. In October, we paid off the rest of
our arrears. The rapidity with which we solved our financial problems is
an indicator of the underlying strength of Stratfor
There are a lot of numbers we can look at, but this is the most striking.
Sales of new, individual memberships increased 2.35 times between the end
of May to the end of October. Aaric's team has excelled at this.
Renewals-the bread and butter of the business, have also been sustained.
Our institutional customers renew at over a 90 percent rate. Our
individual subscribers renew at over a 70 percent rate, the amount of cash
generated through upsells actually is at between 80 and 90 percent
depending on the month. These are astounding rates in publishing and
credit goes to Deborah Wright in institutional and to John Gibbons and his
team for achieving them. We also owe a debt to Darryl O'Connor, whose
ability to analyze the data allows us to know where we are.
We are, at the same time, carefully and systematically reducing our
dependence on non-publishing business. We are servicing existing customers
and we will consider any offers of business based on whether it is in line
with our focus and whether it is extremely profitable. Remember that each
additional membership sold, corporate or individual, costs us almost
nothing. Each CIS or GV contract can be very costly to fulfill. The size
of the contract has nothing to do with profitability.
So we are not soliciting new CIS business, we are fulfilling existing
contracts and we will consider (with skepticism) any new business. One
exception to this is Public Policy, where Bart Mongoven is leading his
team in defining a way for increasing Public Policies as a self-contained
unit. But other than that, the focus is on publishing. The Briefers are
doing a great job in serving our existing customers-and they will now have
the additional burden of slowly transiting into roles in publishing, where
their existing knowledge is badly needed. Fred is going to be working to
align security with publishing and we will be meeting and planning this
this week.
Aaric and his team are looking for new ways to increase individual
revenues. He is particularly focused now on site optimization-all the
things that make signing up for the free list and buying Stratfor more
attractive. In the meantime we are going to be focusing heavily on
increasing new institutional sales. Don Kuykendall is going to be shifting
his focus to that.
The single most important achievement is in the intelligence group, led by
Walt Howerton and Peter, Mike and now Jenna. The reason our customers
renew as they do is because our writing is intellectually valuable. Toyota
thought that to sell a great car you needed to build a great car. GM
thought that to sell a great car marketing should convince the buyer that
a shitty car was great. You can't sell a product without marketing, and
in the end, marketing can't sell a bad product.
Having preserved the intellectual heart of the company, the issue now
facing us where we go from here. For the first time in a long time, we
know what industry we are in, and that's publishing. And we know that
publishing is undergoing what Joseph Schumpeter called "Creative
destruction." Publishing companies are reeling. Publishing will be here
for a long time. Stratfor's task is to define what role it will play in
the future of publishing.
As you know, there is a systematic planning process underway that will set
new strategy. One part of that is the Strategic Planning Group that
several of you are part of. Another study is being carried out by Aaric's
group. These and other options will be presented to what I call a Council
of Elders on December 10-12. That Council consists of Steve Feldhaus (a
member of our board who is chairing it), Colin Chapman, Ron Duchin, Don
Kuykendall, Meredith Friedman, Aaric Eisenstein and me. With this group we
have 30-40 years each of experience in law and business, military and
federal, banking and radio, intelligence and public relations,
entrepreneurship (Aaric, but not 30-40 years) and however you classify
me. When you look at this group, you will see that it's pretty impressive
and we are lucky to have people who know Stratfor intimately but have
large amounts of experience outside Stratfor. Rest assured that before
any strategy is implemented, everyone in the company will have a chance to
get their licks in.
We also need to be very careful with increasing expenses. The recession
appears to be having no impact on our publishing revenues but is hitting
our CIS revenues a bit. We need to be cautious. Even without the
recession, we need to be very careful on the expense side. We are hiring
new people but will do that slowly and with care. In the meantime we will
rigorously control other expenses. We are profitable, cash flow positive
and growing. Getting careless with expenses can sink us. So we will be
The single most dangerous expense, you might be interested in knowing, is
travel. 4 trips can easily hit $20 thousand a month. That's nearly a
quarter million a year. If we want to build our staff, we must conserve
where we can and the one place we can be hurt badly is in travel. We need
to make certain that every trip is worth taking. You've seen us take a
step to controlling travel costs with the new travel forms. Similar forms
now exist for hiring people, including interns. These processes may seem
bureaucratic but they are the only way to make sure that we spend money
where we need to. This goes across the board. Cost controls are essential
and Jeff is in charge of that. If you can't get what you want, blame him.
Not me.
We will have the annual Stratfor Christmas Party and hangover on December
13, at the conclusion of the Elders' meeting. It will give everyone in
Austin a chance to meets some of these people who are so important to
Stratfor. We will also be celebrating what Stratfor has become and what it
will be. You've all done a great job and I thank you.

The Tattoo Manicure by Valley Nails
I'd like to call my first nail art experience a success. I changed my mind so many times. The nail technician, Karen, was very patient. (It's not my fault that they have 50 different shades of green glitter.) Deciding against exotic fruit nails, I went with black gels—I'll explain what gel nails are in a second—with green ombré glitter and tattoo art.
Points for creativity, I hope? In my opinion, that's what the nail art game is all about. The crazier the better. Lately I've seen everything from fast food-inspired to Comme Des Garcons "play" nails. The nail game is AWN and Valley Nails on Elizabeth Street is the place to get it did. I haven't seen a beauty craze like this since the body glitter phenomenon of '01.
This chick Karen is basically a genius with a really tiny brush. That tattoo art you see has been PAINTED on my nails. Stencils are for sissies. They don't call it art for nothing. These ladies are true artists and nails are their medium. The gel nail technique uses what I like to call a magical drying machine and a super special nail paint. After each coat is applied (quite expertly, Karen is crazy good with a polish brush) you stick your hand in the magic machine and your nails dry instantly. That way the next coat can be applied immediately. It's a pretty awesome way to make sure yours nails don't smudge. No one likes smudginess.
Maybe we'll all look back and wonder what we were thinking, but right now nail art is the thing to do. I'm almost upset that I got the gel nails—they last for three weeks—because my weird little brain is already dreaming up new ideas for my next Valley manicure. Wu Tang symbols? Outer space? Karen can do ANYTHING. For real. Who wants to come with me to my next appointment? I don't shut up and Karen is too focused to talk while she works.
NAIL ART IS THE BEST. Call 212-274-8985 to book an appointment.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Gatineau' tag.
Just a brief and idle speculation today – what if the English-speaking world actually listened to foreign-language music as much as the rest of the world listens to English-speaking music? Before moving to Québec, I never gave much thought to the hegemony of the English language, and especially not in the realm of music. But now I realize that English created a rather airless vacuum between me and the outside world, cutting me off from amazing musicians like Malajube, Karka, Stefie Shock, Arianne Moffatt, Gatineau, I could go on and on. I resent it. I have no idea why radio stations from coast to coast will play Nickelback but they won't play Malajube. Do English-speakers really get that freaked out by the sound of a language they might not understand?
With Michael Jackson obviously established as a global phenomenon, it raises the question, when will Manu Chao become a truly global phenomenon?

Chief Buster Bingham recently told the Cleveland Board of Aldermen that both departments have been looking into getting new Global Positioning Systems and in two weeks or more, they are set to receive them.
"We are just putting GPS on the vehicles. It is not a matter of us using an old or new system, we had GPS in our cars once before but it had gotten to be a little expensive," said Bingham.
"We found a company that was a little less expensive and we have decided to go with them," he added.
Bingham did not release the name of the system and all of its specifics because the system will be used for security purposes and by authorized personnel only.
"This system will also allow us to have the ability to determine the speed of other motorists and tell us more than just the location of a vehicle. It will also give us other features that can be inputted," continued Bingham.
"It will allow us to be able to determine the exact location of our employees. This is an important feature because sometimes individuals are places where they should not be," said Bingham.
"It will record direction of travel and give us a record of where the vehicle has been – this will help us in the event that we have a complaint against or about an employee, we can find out whether or not the vehicle was in that area. It is just going to be a good system all around good tool for us to be able to use," he added.
GPS is designed to help agencies efficiently pinpoint location, allocate resources, and direct emergency response and recovery personnel.
"The director of Public Works and other authorized personnel would be able to access this information through a secured Web site. This person will be given a username and password in order to access this information," said Bingham.
"As of now, I am not certain when the new systems will be installed. The company that I am dealing with said that there was contingency regarding the new system but I was able to verify what they wanted to know.
"There is still a little more paperwork that must be completed and I am hoping within the next two to three weeks, we will begin to install the systems. I do not know the total cost for this project because it all depends on the number of vehicles that we plan to use," he continued.
Ray Bell, director of Cleveland Public Works, said the new system will be highly beneficial to him because some of his employees tend to travel to unauthorized locations and the system will help him to keep track of them.
GPS is a U.S.-owned utility that provides users with positioning, navigation and timing services.
This system consists of three segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment.
The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments.
GPS satellites provide service to citizens and military users. The civilian service is freely available to all users on a continuous, worldwide basis.
Police departments use GPS to help find criminals and to respond to emergencies promptly.

How many bubblers would u put on a 10 ft by 18 inch step? It's an entry step. (The 2nd step is a 5'6"x10' sun shelf just to give you a better picture.) For that matter how many deck jets on a 22' length of pool? I know this is a personal preference thing...just looking for ideas/opinions please.... |

Two or three bubblers- but it depends on the look you want. If you're going for Bellagio Las Vegas style water works, go for more. :-) Zero deck jets. Love my bubblers, the deck jets were a waste of money. Too loud and annoying. We have 4 deck jets on the back wall of our 44 foot long pool. Question: Why the bubblers on the first step? If I'm envisioning correctly, the step runs the length of your sun shelf. If you're sitting on your sun shelf with the bubblers behind you, it's going to be loud. Not roaring, but just enough to have to raise your voices when speaking. And the jets on your feet as you're sitting on the shelf feels so nice. We have 2, on our 6x10 shelf.. It's pretty and sounds nice but after a while I shut them off because they're difficult to talk over. And we've got them on low. I think if you're going to use more then 2, and they're directly behind your seating area you'll not use them often. |

Love your post!! It's exactly what I had in mind! Unfortunately, I felt I had to make a decision (bf i saw it) and my plans were sealed earlier today! To make any changes will cost $550 bf anything so prob not going to bother....I ended up going with 2 deck jets (My kids will probably enjoy them for about 5 min but whatever!) and two bubblers. The reason I put the bubblers on the first step and not on the sun shelf is bc my pb said bubblers wouldn't work on the second step (sun shelf) bc too deep...is he mistaken? He's just a sales guy so it's totally possible that he's wrong...once again I mainly got them for the kids so not end of the world but I sorta liked your jets at your feet idea so if it would've been doable its a little sad...would love to hear back!! |

No, your pool builder is correct. Bubblers on the second step/sunshelf won't work - the bubbling action would just break the surface. Our shelf is the first step so the bubblers are only under 6 - 8" of water. You can always sit on your coping and put your feet over a bubbler - it feels so good. We had little kids in the pool yesterday and they love the deck jets so I think you done good by putting in two. I wish we could shut 2 of our 4 off so they wouldn't be so loud. I don't think our pump is built like that, tho. Hmmm. I'll have to call my pool builder. That's really my only prob with the jets. I have to say, having them on when somebody first comes into the yard makes a statement! Enjoy your build! When do you start? |

Learn how to bounce in-and-out like a REAL BOXER!

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 Sweetie!
Facts about Sweetie
- Breed: African Grey
- Color: Gray
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- ID#: www.lilysanctuary.org
Sweetie's Info...
I am in need of an experienced adopter, not good with kids, and not good with birds.
Sweetie at the Lily Sanctuary is an African grey parrot who's original owner passed away and she went to several homes through us but it has unfortunately been discovered she will only bond with men. She has attacked women and that is why the previous 2 adoptions did not work out. She is in perfect feather and her vocabulary is not large, but she makes all kinds of whistles and noises. Sweetie will make a wonderful companion for a gentleman seeking a sweet parrot to love. Adopters must live within a 60 mile radius of Westminster, CA and be willing to submit to home checks and bonding visits before any parrot is adopted. Please check our website for all the details.
Other Pets at Lily Sanctuary Parrot Rescue and Retreat
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sweetie, a Fountain Valley African Grey was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a African Grey for sale in Fountain Valley, or seeking a African Grey from a breeder in Fountain Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fountain Valley 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 Fountain Valley 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 African Grey breeders who help with African Grey rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fountain Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Last week I hyped up the return of Rob Gronkowski thinking that those owners who drafted him would no longer have to suffer. Unfortunately, myself and many others were wrong when Gronk was a no show against the Falcons. While there is mention that the Patriots are targeting a Week 6 return, Gronkowski told the Boston Globe he's still "not sure yet" when he'll resume playing. Looks like those owners who drafted him in the hopes that he'd make a quick return from a back injury will have to wait, hopefully, for a couple more weeks. There is no question the Patriots need him back badly because the tight end position is a mess in New England.
On to other news from around the NFL:
C.J. Spiller Better Start Producing
Were you one of the many owners who drafted Spiller with your first round pick? I did. And it was a high one. Week 2 looked like the start of a colossal season when Spiller racked up 117 total yards against the Panthers. But since then, it's been injuries and Fred Jackson who has us owners troubled. Spiller is currently questionable for Thursday night's game against the Browns. You won't find him in my starting lineup even if he does play. An injured player against a strong front seven is a recipe for disaster. If Spiller doesn't get it together and start producing, don't be surprised to see him on the trade block in several leagues. He's just one of many running backs who have let us down this year.
Hey Big Surprise. Darren McFadden Is Injured…….Again
As a McFadden owner from several years ago, I wasn't falling into that trap again. Yeah DMC's 2013 looked promising with a new offensive scheme, but the guy can't stay healthy. Period. This will mark the 6th year that McFadden hasn't played a full 16-game season. Which is basically all his career. The fact that he suffered a hamstring injury could put him out for awhile. DMC isn't known as a fast healer. Marcel Reece is also out due to a knee injury, so it looks like sluggo Rashad Jennings is the guy this week. He was a big waiver wire pickup. But after analyzing the stats, I don't know if Jennings' 2012 season was crap because of the Jaguars or if he is just that bad. Still, owners will have to hope Jennings breaks through and gives them a reason to start him. He was the best waiver option of the week, which doesn't say a lot about the other players out there.
And last but not least
The Rams Have Turned Their Backfield Into A Mess
Daryl Richardson sent out a tweet yesterday saying he was told he wasn't starting against the Jaguars. He later retracted the statement and said he was then told there will be competition. Which in laments terms means "Bye Bye Richardson." He's had 98 rushes so far, but has only averaged a little under 30 yards a game and has a putrid 2.7 ypc average. With Richardson's role decreasing, who knows by how much, the question now is who is the guy to own in the Rams backfield? Isaiah Pead, who Jeff Fisher slobbered over all offseason, could get the start. But you also have Benny Cunningham, one of Phil's sleeper options and Zac Stacy. Needless to say if you don't have to start anyone in the Rams backfield, DON'T!!!! Let this sort itself out (If it does) after Week 5. Although I get this sneaking suspicion that we'll still be questioning the backfield again come next week.

We bought a house that came with a stand of bamboo, which we now want to get rid of. (We don't want to do the recurring maintenance to keep it from spreading beyond its barrier like it's starting to.) I read that it's easier to remove clumping bamboo than running bamboo. But before we start trying to remove it ourselves, can anyone help us identify whether what we have is clumping or running? Below are two photos: You can click on the images to see larger photos on Flickr. |

Those are running bamboos. It looks quite small so removal should be easy. Kt |
It's rather lovely. If it's running beyond the barrier, then the barrier was not installed properly. I'd put some energy into a proper barrier install rather than a bamboo removal. Maintaining bamboo is not a big deal; don't get spooked by all of the urban horror stories.... |
Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' is the name of that species. It is a runner. It is beautiful and it easy to remove, but please don't. Leave it in the ground and let it trap (sequester) carbon. Bamboo sequesters a lot of carbon from the air and produces a third more oxygen than trees. If you insist on removal, let it go to someone who will cut it out of the ground and replant it. Your fellow earth inhabitants really appreciate it. |
Arthaey, to each his own! :) I understand if you want to get rid of it. We're trying to keep ours but want to contain it better (well, we'll start with containing it AT ALL, and hopefully move to containing it well), can you share how the barrier is failing you in hopes that we can install ours better and prevent failure? Thanks. |
Thanks, everyone, for the identification and the opinion that it may be easier to remove than some of the horror stories we've read about! Jonjfarr: I love how bamboo looks and I understand how it is a beneficial plant to the environment. However, I'm not okay with it spreading all over our small urban backyard, and I'm realistically just not going to do the recurring work to keep it contained. And I'm not too excited about spending $2,500 dollars that the bamboo-removal-company bid for taking it out and replanting it elsewhere. MiaOKC: The bamboo is sending up new shoots crowded right up against the barrier, including poking *through* the barrier in two places already. |
If someone is quoting you $2500 to take out that bamboo, you're getting ripped off. That's a day's work for one person with the right equipment (a bamboo shovel). And then they will have a nice supply of free bamboo which will net them a couple of more thousand. The reason it's shooting up right next to the barrier is because the barrier is working. If anything is coming through the barrier, it likely was installed damaged. I'd like to see a picture of these breaks. There are a lot of urban horror stories about bamboo which cause people to unnecessarily panic. I don't see that you have a problem, or how it threatens to take over your yard. I grow about 60 kinds of bamboo -- many without barriers -- and my maintenance is limited to a couple of days a year. But you have to figure out what works for you.... |
I contacted 3 local businesses. One didn't specialize in bamboo and said they didn't have the right tools for the job. One didn't get back to me. The third quoted $2,500. I don't know what other businesses to contact. But yeah, my husband and I felt that $2,500 was WAY more than we were willing to pay someone for what isn't THAT much bamboo. Thus me posting to this forum asking about how to remove the bamboo ourselves. ;) You can see where the bamboo came through the barrier in the 2nd photo. We cut through the bamboo (in a failed attempt to try pulling it back through the hole it had made, but it wouldn't budge). You can see the cut end of 2 shoots where the barrier meets the ground, just about dead center vertically in the 2nd photo. |
Arthaey- I see what you are talking about, but I suspect it came through a hole that was made in damaged barrier. If it were me, I'd take a root pruning saw and cut the rhizome off on the inside of the barrier. Then I would slide a piece of spare barrier down inside to cover the hole. And by the way, you don't need barrier to be that high: where I have barrier, I've cut it with a knife to be an inch or two above ground level. It looks a lot better that way, and you can still easily see any stray rhizomes that want to jump over, and prune them off. On the other hand, if you are determined to get rid of it and don't want to spend a fortune, there are two options: 1) Advertise free bamboo. There are people who will be more than happy to get their hands on high quality bamboo and will dig it for free. I've been part of several digging parties that cleared nice bamboo out of the yards of people who let it go wild without barriers. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bamboo spade
Sorry you're being offered such high rates to remove. If you lived near me, I would do it for free. It's too bad that people don't understand that removing bamboo is much easier than removing small trees or bushes. I have removed a lot of bamboo roots with just a sawzall and the knowledge gained from watching a 3 minute video on youtube on bamboo removal. I agree with Kudzu on this one. Advertise on Craigslist that you have free Spectabilis Bamboo for the "Digging". It's a desirable species with a value. What I have, I got for free on Craigslist. The picture above are Buddha Belly Bamboo with roots, that are thick and burly. I removed that entire clump in one hour solo, and a sawzall. Just let the saw do the work. |

If you have any that have escaped the barrier and run into the lawn, then you may want to have a steel broad fork which is also very good for aerating gardens, but it's excellent in extracting stray rhizomes as the blades get as deep as 16 inches, well deeper than bamboo rhizomes. Bypass loppers should be enough to get rid of the stuff on the inside of the barrier, but you may still need the bamboo spade in order to get out the thicker stuff so you can replace it with flowers or whatever you would intend to have instead. |
Here is a link that might be useful: steel broad fork
I agree with the original poster and feel giving this person a tough time for not wanting to contain or replant the bamboo is unjustified. I bought a house recently with two patches of clumping bamboo. While it is contained nicely, I will be removing it. The reason is I do not want the maintenance to upkeep the bamboo clusters. It grows faster than a weed and I have been pruning 50-60% of each clump about every 2 months. It grows back just as full and tall in those two months between pruning. The maintainence to keep it at a good size takes me about 1/2 a day every couple months. I have better uses of my time. That 1/2 day time involves chopping down taller stakes, thinning it out and then cutting up the clippings small enough to fit in my curb-side yard debris bin (which it more then fills, leaving me room for nothing else that needs to go in there also). It is because of this high maintenance that I will dig it out soon. If you live near Portland, OR and want some clumping bamboo, please message me and you can have it when I dig it up. :) |
OregonEd- If you are having to prune back your plants every two months only to have them grow back just as full....you don't have bamboo. Bamboo typically only sends up new growth once a year, and never replaces something that has been pruned off. I live in the PNW, too, and none of my bamboo grow like you describe. There are several plants, such as Japanese knotweed or certain large grasses, that people sometimes confuse with bamboo. Please post a picture here and maybe we can figure out what you have that's such a big job to maintain. |
kudzu9. Its clumping bamboo. I'll get you a picture later on. New shoots don't come from the ground too often, but the shoots already there grow several feet a month (in all but winter) and thicken out with leaves. The taller ones are the ones I cut back to near the ground, next the shorter ones grow taller, its a cycle. I did a major prune back last weekend (Nov 2). The last time before was maybe mid-July. So maybe it is every 3-4 months I need to trim them. I have lived in the house 9 months and had three major pruning sessions :) |
OregonEd- Ok...now I definitely want to see it. I have a number of clumping bamboos at my current location and have never had to prune any of them back in the 8 years I've lived here. Some people would love to have your problem! |
- Posted by kentuck_8b __ (My Page) on Tue, Nov 5, 13 at 20:14
That does not sound like a clumping bamboo at all, but I also would like to see a picture of it. How tall is it? |
kudzu9 and Kentuck- Attached is the only picture available, from Jan last year before I moved in. Bamboo is on the right - this is one of two clumps. I can get more detailed pictures on the weekend. It is too dark now after work. It grows from 10-15' tall, give or take. Tall enough to flop over some and shade out more area than I like. Thanks -Ed |
This post was edited by OregonEd on Tue, Nov 5, 13 at 21:33
OregonEd- Thanks for posting the picture. Ok...that picture is good enough to convince me you have bamboo, although I can't tell what species...maybe a Fargesia or a Bambusa. I see you have a tight space there, so I can understand your concern about flopping over. It would be easy to keep it erect by just passing a piece of twine or fishing line around the front and attaching it to the fence. But, if you are also concerned about too much shading, then pruning is the only solution. Well, you know the old saying: a weed is just a plant growing in the wrong location. If you are getting rid of it, you should have no problems finding someone to take a beautiful, healthy clumper off your hands. |
Thanks! The tight space is misleading because of the odd camera angle. You are seeing part of the smaller clump. This picture was taken during the home inspection to show the general side area looking back along a patio wall. 180 degrees around and it is more open. The second, larger clump is much bigger and has more area around it. I will post something on Craigslist when I dig it up later. I'm just not a fan of the way it looks, plus having to trim it. Also it tends to shed leaves a lot, which may or may not be normal. I'm sure the previous owners liked the bamboo though. I'd rather have some evergreen shrubs or small trees in that location. I will probably end up putting a couple of pineapple guavas there. Thanks for the postings and replies :-) |
If I lived closer, I'd dig it out for you! |
- Posted by kentuck_8b __ (My Page) on Tue, Nov 5, 13 at 22:30
Kind of looks like one of the Bambusas. I would do as Kudzu said, either tie a string around the front and then to the fence, or just wrap all the culms together with a strong string or rope. It is an evergreen and looks really nice for Oregon climate. Are you in southern Oregon, close to the California border? |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Nov 6, 13 at 19:10
Indeed, you could remove it yourself with help from the great bamboo growers on this forum, and then just sell it on eBay, or give it away on craigslist. I'd choose eBay. After all, buyer pays shipping too. It's just too beautiful to kill it... |
As the culms look dark and it has a tendency to bend over into the way it is probably Phyllostachys nigra. This is a running bamboo, like many of the other running bamboos tending to be more diffuse - and in this case eventually much taller - than clumping bamboos that are grown in this region. Whether it is P. nigra (very likely) or another species it is definitely a Phyllostachys and not a Fargesia or other clumping bamboo. |
Bamboo lovers here will be glad to know both clumps of bamboo now have new homes. One clump was about 50 lbs and the second maybe 200 lbs. I spent several weekends with a shovel, pick and recip saw removing them. Of course the previous owners who planted it did not put in root barriers. Runners had spend under the fence to my neighbors yard. I had to install a barrier to prevent it from coming back. Overall, it was a ton of work I never want to do again, but glad it is gone and being replanted where someone will enjoy it. |

[719] DNA Methyltransferases 1, 3a and 3b Overexpression and Clinical Significance in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
ZR Qian, MM Rahman, EL Wang, M Nakasono, T Hayashi, R Haba, M Ishida, H Okabe, T Sano. Institute of Health Biosciences, University of Tokushima Graduate School, Tokushima, Japan; Tsurugi Municipal Handa-Hospital, Tokushima, Japan; Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University, Kagawa, Japan; Shiga University of Medical Science, Shiga, Japan
Background: Alteration of DNA methylation is one of the most consistent epigenetic changes in human cancers. Three genes, namely DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1, 3a, and 3b, coding for DNMTs that affect promoter methylation status are thought to play an important role in the development of cancers and may be good anticancer therapy targets. Methylation of tumor suppressor genes has been reported in gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs); however, there are no studies about DNMTs protein expression and their clinical significance in GEP NETs.
Design: In this work, using immunohistochemistry the expression of DNMT1, 3a and 3b were studied in 63 GEP NETs included well-differentiated NET (WNET, of either benign or uncertain behavior; n = 31), well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (WNEC; n = 16), and poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (PNEC; n = 16).
Results: Expression of DNMT1, 3a and 3b was frequently detected in GEP NETs (87%, 81%, 75%, respectively). DNMT3a expression level was significantly higher in poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas than well-differentiated NETs or well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma s (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, respectively). Expression of DNMT1, 3a and 3b showed significantly higher levels in stage IV tumors than stage I and II tumors. In addition, expression of DNMT1, 3a and 3b was positively correlated with MIB-1 labeling index in GEP NETs (R = 0.293, P = 0.019; R = 0.457, P = 0.001; R = 0.249, P = 0.049; respectively). In addition, expression levels and frequencies of positive immunostaining of DNMT3a and 3b were significantly lower in midgut NETs than foregut and hindgut NETs.
Conclusions: These results suggest that DNMTs may have important roles in tumorigenesis and development of GEP NETs and epigenetic therapy directed against DNMTs may be a considerable therapeutic approach.

Poster Session II # 84, Monday Afternoon

In 1986 I was diagnosed with diverticulosis and was told to have stool samples done each year and be certain I had a sigmoidiscope every 3 years to check for cancer. Since moving to another province they don't do the stool samples as former ones always showed blood, so they feel that would always be the case. They also refuse to do the sigmoidoscope as they say it is too dangerous. They will do a barium enema but only if I insist. The last one of those, many years ago, showed that the condition is severe. I'm a bit leery of doing the barium tests as I have a problem passing stools as it is, and I'm afraid that I might have a great deal of trouble trying to get rid of the barium. Is it possible that a cat scan or an ultrasound would give the same results? I had a flare up 2 weeks ago and am still not back to normal. I have never had a flare up last this long. I have also turned against so many foods. I have a fairly new Dr. and do not completely feel at ease with him
Thanks for any info ivamae |

The answer to your question is within the question you asked. "I have a fairly new Dr. and do not completely feel at ease with him." If that is the case, then you need to find another new doctor. You also have to determine if you are not a full ease with this new doc because he is just new or is giving different advise than you've had in the past. You don't say if this doc is your primary care doc or a gastroenterologist. You should be followed by a GI doc, though, not just a primary care doc. As for the stool samples, the reasoning sounds reasonable to me. If it always showed blood, then what was the point of having them done in the first place? Not sure if CT Scans or ultrasound would lean the same results, but I do know that to have either one you need a full cleaning of the bowel for anything to be seen. I'd be a little concerned with the barium as well, but there may be something that you can be given to help you get rid of the barium. In any case, being that you are not comfortable with this doc, I would find another and be sure he/she is a GI doc. Good luck and let us know how you are doing. |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Fri, Mar 16, 07 at 10:28
The usual thing after a barium enema or swallow used to be a BIG dose of castor oil. Perhaps they have something different now, but getting rid of the barium will be no problem. You don't say how old you are, perhaps your age is why they are reluctant to do a sigmoindoscope. However, I think it's important to find a physician that you are comfortable with if your medical plan allows you to change. |
Thanks for your replies. I like this DR. in some ways and not in others. It makes no diference, as we are extrememly fortunate if we have a Dr. We cnnot switch around like used to be the case, years ago. I am 76 and the reason for them saying that the sigmoidoscope is too dnagerous, is because he is concerned that they could puncture one of the pockets and then he has told me it would be an immediate colostomy. I have had several barium enemas and I have never ever been given anything to get rid of the barium afterwards. I would have nothing against taking castor oil for that. I'm not supposed to do any straining and I rememebr the straining that was necessary after the barium before. He is my G.P. but if I decide if I want to have the barium test he will refer me to a Gastro Dr. He told me I had to make the decision - he wouldn't. I've never had a Dr. tell me that before. They always told me what THEY recomended and then we went from there. ivamae |
It sounds like you have Diverticulitus. Diverticulosis is what you have when it has not become infected. There should be no blood in the first case. My DH's uncle had diverticulitis, and passed blood. I have diverticulosis, and so far have had no problems, although it was several years ago that I had the colonoscopy that detected it.(I am now 74.) I try to avoid food with small seeds.They can get in the pouches and cause infection. I hope you can get help for your problem. |
Thanks marian. I have had bleeding show in the stool samples all the time, when there was no known infection present. It is still giving problems off and on and I am sill passing visable blood at times. I'm so weak and not getting my strength back as I feel I should. I am getting concerned whether blood is escaping into the body cavity as well. I am going to make another appointment and I have decided to ask him to refer me to someone who will schedule a baium test. I feel I have to, if only to satisfy myself. I don't like to always be complaining. My kids have so many health problems, they do not need Mom to have some too. I'll keep you posted. Thanks |
