Does anyone have proof that Will Ella Hardeman was a daughter of William Polk "Gotch" Hardeman? I have found postings showing her as his daughter, but have not found her on the 1870 census with Wm. Hardeman and his other younger children. Will Ella was b. 29 April 1863, TX., married William Francis Searight. William Polk Hardeman's second wife was Sarah Hamilton (who may have first married a Read/Reade...... can anyone confirm this first marriage?). Sarah d. 1869 and apparently when Wm. P. Hardeman m. for the third time in 1874, the children (at some point) went to live with Sarah Hamilton Hardeman's sister (Mary Etta, who m. Thomas W. Folts) in Austin, Travis Co., TX. In the Folt's household in 1880 are: W. E. Hardeman, age 17 (this could be Will Ella, but where was she in 1870?); T. L., age 14, who appears to be Tallie (or Tullie) L. Hardeman (said child I have not been able to trace); and William, age 10, who would be William Hardeman. Hardemans are my kin via the Polks. Thanks for any info, Bill Polk, Kansas City, MO.

Wash. Legislature approves $100M land purchase
Budget writers in both parties believe the plan will help create 30,000 to 40,000 jobs. The most prominent item in the package is the start of a long-term effort to help manage water in the Yakima River Basin — a plan that stakeholders have been considering for years and is eventually projected to cost up to $5 billion in the coming decades.
"It's been a 30-year effort to get this accomplished," said Rep. Judy Warnick, R-Moses Lake.
The land purchase is for about 50,000 acres in upper Kittitas County and is valued at about $100 million. Warnick said the land is at the headwaters of the Yakima River Basin and was the perfect opportunity to begin working on water issues in the region.
Democratic Rep. Hans Dunshee said he was also pleased that the construction aspects of the budget would begin focusing on buildings that are designed to have low cost of operations. He said much of the cost of a building is in the years it operates, so it's important for officials to shift their focus to take into account that long-term cost.
Republican Sen. Jim Honeyford touted the education projects in the bill. It includes building renovations at the University of Washington, $30 million for a clean technology laboratory at Washington State University and more than $60 million for a science building at Central Washington University.
"It's full of all kinds of good projects," Honeyford said.
The budget includes millions for camera systems in state prisons. Lawmakers said that was partially in response to the 2011 strangling death of prison guard Jayme Biendl, who was killed in a prison chapel.
In order to help balance the state's operating budget, lawmakers had swept a large chunk of money out of an account that aids public works projects. The capital budget refills some of that money.
The Senate approved the capital budget unanimously, while the measure received just four "no" votes in the House.

Golden tablecloths bloom with vases of cut flowers as petal-like fans whir overhead. Their regal hue symbolizes one of Zaroka Bar & Restaurant's guiding principles: that guests are akin to royalty. Inside the dining room, traditional Indian meals unfold amid ornately carved picture frames, vibrant music, and colorful conversations. To explore India's nooks and crannies, chefs craft dishes from far-flung regions such as Punjab, Gujarat, and Bengal. House specialties range from spiced chicken kebabs baked in a clay oven to curried shrimp simmered in a coconut pot. The kitchen also prepares an array of vegetarian dishes, such as savory garlic naan and three types of lentil dal. An ideal dessert or palate cleanser, the rosewater lassi teems with sweet, floral hints, like a game of charades with a potpourri sachet.
Glowing sconces line the crimson and cream walls inside Namaste India, where traditional Indian dishes adorn linen-topped tables and fill the air with spiced aromas. Marinated lamb, chicken, and seafood slumber inside a clay tandoor oven until they're mildly smoky and tender throughout, while other proteins and vegetables steep in rich curry sauces, aptly scooped up with fresh-baked naan bread or ladled over delicate basmati rice. Patrons can wash down meals with sweet, salted, or mango-flavored lassi drinks, or snatch a classic dessert such as gulab jamun—deep-fried milk dumplings that are soaked in syrup and delivered to tables via an air gun.
The chefs at Masala rain Indian and Nepali seasonings down upon succulent meats slow-cooked inside a tandoor clay oven and simmered veggies flooded with sauce. Divided into two, Masala's menu features Indian favorites such as curries, skewered lamb cubes, and 13 types of Indian bread, including hand-stretched garlic naan, as well as Nepali dishes such as mo-mo cha steamed dumplings filled with veggies or chicken. Within the eatery's yellow-hued walls, a full bar cohabitates with a daily lunch buffet, which arranges tasty eats in a row, like a police lineup of the California Raisins.
The chefs at Saffron Place take spices seriously. Drawing on shelves of cumin, curry, fresh ginger, and garlic, they craft each dish individually to account for each person's preferred level of spiciness, be it mild to smoking hot. The individual preparation of each order ensures that their traditional north Indian and Bengali dishes arrive at tables still steaming from the stove or easily startled dragons. Servers carry goat curry, chicken tikka masala, and vegetarian platters to tables or customers waiting for takeout orders.
India Kitchen?deemed Hartford County's Best Indian Restaurant in 2011 by readers of Connecticut Magazine?piles family-style offerings from North and South India onto its menu, concocting entrees with imported ingredients and an authentic tandoor oven. Patrons can play games of solitaire with 11 types of traditional breads, such as the raisin- and nut-filled khandari kulcha ($3.95). Jumbo shrimp slip into robes of lemon juice, yogurt, and spices before sizzling in the clay oven, only to emerge as tandoori shrimp ($15.95) or, in rare cases, a single giant shrimp with crime-fighting ambitions and mastery over fire. The chicken chutney wala surrounds poultry morsels with tangy pools of curried mango and mint sauce ($12.95), whereas cashew-and-almond sauce varnishes vegetable-and-cheese dumplings in the vegetarian malai kofta ($11.95).
In addition to its classic menu offerings, India Kitchen hosts a daily all-you-can-eat lunch buffet seven days a week as well as a Wednesday and Sunday night dinner buffet. Featuring a catering menu for larger groups, the restaurant's chefs portion out party-sized servings from a limited menu that includes naan ($32+) and vegetable biryani ($40+). For heartier mealtimes, they also simmer orders of lamb or fish curry ($90) that can either feed 30?40 people or one insatiable garbage disposal.
After the chefs cook lamb and chicken kebabs in a clay pot, they send them to diners? table in a grand fashion: The morsels of meat sizzle and hiss atop hot iron plates right before guests' eyes. Bangalore Restaurant & Bar treats guests to classic Indian dishes, including nearly two dozen vegetarian options and the chef?s special lobster simmered in a creamy onion cashew sauce. A daily buffet bestows diners with an array of marinated chicken and lamb chops.

Determine Whether or Not You Need to Take a Planning Trip
Once you've settled on the perfect destination, you'll have to determine how well you know the destination, and whether or not you feel you should go there in person to be sure that you are happy with the venue, vendors. facillities, and service providers. There is nothing like face-to-face communication to put your mind at ease.
If you are paying attention to details, and/or planning a wedding attended by a large group of people, you will probably need to make a planning trip. A planning trip lets you meet the service providers you want to hire, and negotiate the contracts in person. You'll feel more confident about your decisions and choices, and you'll begin to forge professional relationships with your service providers.

Houston Rockets center Yao Ming retired today, making the announcement in his native country, China. The 7-foot-6 Yao averaged 19 points and 9.2 rebounds and shot 52.4% from the field for his career and is a cult hero in China.
But he played only five games last season with ankle injuries. He did not play at all in the 2009-10 season. Yao, 30, was the No. 1 overall pick in 2002 by the Rockets.

During the weekend of September 29, 2012, the Ocean City Police Department as well as other area law enforcement agencies in Worcester County participated in the bi-annual Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) "Drug-Take-Back" program as part of the Fall National Drug Take Back Day.
The bi-annual event, which last took place in the spring 2012, is a federal program which unites the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) with state and local law enforcement to encourage citizens to properly dispose of their prescription drugs.
In the spring of 2011, "Operation Medicine Drop" yielded 26.5-pounds of medicine at the Ocean City location. Last week, Ocean City citizens deposited over 14-pounds of assorted unwanted prescription drugs in the Ocean City Police"Prescription Medicine Drop Box." Together with other Worcester County agencies over 174-pounds of prescription drugs were recovered for disposal.
The late September event has resulted in Worcester County's "Operation Medicine Drop" partner agencies and groups recovering approximately 379-pounds of unwanted, expired or unused prescription medications. Disposing of medication properly prevents the medication from entering our waterways and landfills.
The OCPD would like to thank everyone who participated in helping to properly dispose of the unwanted and/or unused drugs.
If anyone would like additional information regarding the safe and secure disposal of unwanted prescription medication, please contact the OCPD Public Affairs Office at: 410-723-6665. Citizens who wish to dispose of their unwanted medications can deposit the items at the OCPD drop box located in the lobby of the Public Safety Building, 6501 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, Maryland.

The Fault Line of Fear – a Tectonic Response
September 8, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Samia Moustapha Bahsoun and Brenda Naomi Rosenberg
Our world is in emotional HIGH RED ALERT with fear as our compass. Headlines read: Are terrorist masterminding another Sept 11? If the Palestinian authority gets formal UN recognition does it mean no peace treaty with Israel and another war? Will more Muslims immigrants result in Sharia being the law of the land? Is the Arab Spring a venue for Islamic fundamentalists to take over the world? Today the world is afraid of Muslims and their motives. Sixty years ago, Hitler used fear to rally half a continent against Jews engineering their total elimination. "Fear continues to be the weapon of choice in small and large conflicts worldwide used to manipulate and control"1 as leaders play on our physiological responses to these fears – fight or flight.
Originally discovered by the great Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon, this physiological response is hard-wired into our brains – and represents a genetic wisdom designed to protect us from bodily harm2. We have been indoctrinated to believe that these are the only responses to fear. In fact, such conditioning is so prevalent that it is rarely questioned when leaders use fear-mongering for their own personal ambitions, acting as protectors for their constituents. The fight or flight response fuels the tension and fear generated by mistrust, lack of respect, unmet expectations, denial of identity, and targeted aggression. This tension cannot be eradicated but can be addressed in a new way.
We are proposing a third and new response to fear – a Tectonic response to fear- one that connects not separates, one that engages the other and does not alienate, one that empathizes and does not destroy – one that distinguishes us from the animals who are limited to fight or flight. Using earth plate tectonics as a metaphor, we recognize that human interactions in situations of conflict are like fault lines between tectonic plates; plates interacting and building friction at their boundaries, causing earthquakes to occur when the natural elasticity of surrounding rocks has been exceeded. Human interactions can similarly create fault lines. When the pressure generated by tension and fear becomes unbearable, the energy released is tsunami-like, creating mass hysteria, inciting hate and fear, separating nations, destroying businesses and communities, oppressing people, and instigating wars. To give the rocks back their elasticity, we must move beyond the fight or flight model and use the tension as an opportunity to inform ourselves of the deepest fear, pains, and trans-generational wounds that separate people in conflict, and plague our world, build trust and create a new discourse. To construct this new relational architecture that can sustain seismic events inherent to our civilization, we are proposing a less 1 "Fear and Argentina's Dirty War" published in July 2010 by Crystina Wyler for course work at NOVA Southeastern University.
2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response
instinctive and more evolved paradoxical and Tectonic response to fear, one that goes beyond ("para") our common sense ("doxa").
We developed this Tectonic response to fear by utilizing the tension in our own relationship – a relationship defined by our separate national, professional, religious, cultural, and political identities – Samia Moustapha Bahsoun, an American Arab of Muslim descent, telecom executive, pro-Palestinian activist, and Brenda Naomi Rosenberg, an American Jewish Zionist, pro-Israel, global fashion executive. Together, we tackled the hot topics that separate our communities – Zionism, Holocaust, Gaza, Lebanon War, Jerusalem, occupation, settlements, suicide bombing, right of return, flotilla, the Cordoba Center at ground zero – and used the tension surrounding these elements of conflict to deepen our understanding of the other. We expanded the holocaust story to include both our narratives without changing our core beliefs, connecting without comparing the death of 70 year old Holocaust victim Dora Shklyan, who died at Teofipol in the Ukraine to the death of Samia's 70 year old grand-mother Mariam Bahsoun, who died in 1982 under Israeli raids on Southern Lebanon.
As we used tension as an opportunity to face our realities and deepen our understanding of each other and not as an obstacle in partnering, we learned that being committed and disciplined to care equally about self and other is essential to building trust, transforming conflict, and sustaining our relationship.
The September U.N. Conferences on Palestinian Statehood and Durban III give us an opportunity to apply a Tectonic approach to conflict transformation.
Leaders responding to the upcoming conferences are falling into the "fight or flight" trap. In the upcoming UN vote on Palestinian Statehood, the Palestinians are presenting it as a "fight" for their denied identity, the Israeli are "fighting" against it as a threat to their security; both parties are "fleeing" from the peace process. Their respective allies are not responding any differently; a veto by the United States is a "flight" response to the fear of alienating its ally in the region, broadening the divide. Reactions to the upcoming Durban III UN conference are no different. Australia, Canada, the United States, Israel, the Czech Republic, Italy and the Netherlands have announced that they will boycott Durban III, charging that the Durban process has been used to promote racism, intolerance, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, and to erode freedom of speech and Israel's right to exist. Such boycott unfortunately does not address the tension surrounding these issues, broadening once again the divide. Both are "fighting" for what they believe to be right, both are "fleeing " to the comfort of those who share the same point of view instead of addressing the fear and real issues that are creating the tension with the people whose views are different.
Under the Tectonic response model, leaders on all sides of conflict can instead use the tension that separates Israelis and Palestinians and their respective allies to articulate the real needs of both people, common to both; need for a national identity, safety, equality, and freedom. To transform conflict and give peace a chance, we must move beyond the fight or flight model to a tectonic response to fear – one that brings tension to the negotiating table instead of seeing tension as the enemy, using it as an opportunity to reveal the unspoken barriers to peace, addressing the deep trans-generational wounding, the cultural, sociological and motivational differences of both people.
Samia Moustapha Bahsoun and Brenda Naomi Rosenberg are co-founders of the Tectonic Leadership Center for Conflict Transformation and Cross Cultural Communication. The center trains leaders on opposite side of conflicts to take joint ownership in using tension to transform conflict. For more information, please visit www.tectonicleadership.org.

Marwa Al-Sherbini
July 20, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
A thirty-one year-old Egyptian Muslim pharmacist plaintiff — four months pregnant with her second child — while wearing her traditional Hijab, was viciously stabbed eighteen times, and died in a Dresden courtroom on July 1st — by an alleged naturalized German attacker. Previously, he had accused her of being a "Terrorist" because of her Islamic dress, and ripping her hijab off her head. Unfortunately, such Islamaphobia is only too common in Europe even though Germany, with its horrendous history of instigating the Holocaust against the Jews and other minorities during World II, has some of the most stringent hate-crime laws in the world.
Her husband, who tried to intervene, was, also, stabbed by the attacker and, then, shot in the leg by a security officer who "mistook" him for the attacker. Al-Sherbini, who was not only pregnant, but was, also, cruelly murdered in front of her three-year old son!
She was about to testify against her impending murderer when this vicious assault took place. The prosecutor at the proceedings had just described the accused as having a deep hatred against Muslims.
Your reporter is a regular listener to Deutche Velle, but they and most of the German privately owned media there largely ignored or played down the incident. The BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) gave suitable examination of the episode as did the Islamic press and media.
In a press release from The Muslim Council of Great Britain (MCB), they "…urged political leaders and opinion formers to end their muted response to the recent wave of anti-Muslim violence…"
The Middle Eastern Institute's Editor's Blog noted that the case "…has been little noted in the Western media [especially in the U.S.]…the crime itself has outraged the Egyptian[s]…her body was met at [the] Cairo airport; thousands…turned out for her funeral in Alexandria……the opposition forces … [are]…particularly incensed [especially the Muslim Brotherhood who have called her the head-scarf martyr]…the official media as well…these popular…outcries… [have become a]…backfire on the unpopular [Mubarak] Regime…"
The Tehran Times described the unofficial response to the martyred Mother's death in Saxony with spontaneous demonstrations on the Streets of the Iranian capital which included protests in front of Deutschland's Persian Embassy, and a funeral in replication of hers in Alexandria both in protest and to honor to her soul. Officially, "….The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the German ambassador…to protest…the murder…of the woman. Iran criticized the German government for its slow response…and…that Germany is responsible for… insuring the security of minorities…including Muslims…"
In April 2007 I was privileged to attend a conference organized by Hatem Baziam of U.C. Berkeley on Islamaphobia. Your scribe has never had a chance to comment about the perceptions expressed there on the European version of the phenomenon which are different than the American practice in that, because of the former European form of Colonialism over Muslims lands– which for the most part the Americans did not follow – the social class on the other side of the Atlantic include more individuals – with the right to emigrate — in competition with the traditional nationalities of their new countries for working class jobs. This does not follow in the Sherbini case because they were professionals, but that in itself might been the issue that shot off her attacker to violence in a society where its brutal former right-wing is once again reasserting itself.
The Western scholar on Islam, Peter Gottscalk, noted that "Islamophobia is the making of Muslims into enemies." He talked about the Danish cartoon which so outraged the Islamic ummah by portraying the followers of Mohammed (PBUH) with hedonism in contrast to Occidental secularism. Political cartons, such as that are powerful negative weapons. This one was applied against Islamic immigrants. A cartoon's symbolism can caricaturize and stereotype another people. Fundamentalist Christians often associate Muslims with their (the "Christian's") simplistic theological concept of "Satan." Modern Islamophobia has re-manipulated the female into an oppressed one, too. This makes the violence done to Marwa totally illogical even in the relation to Islam-bashing, and, furthermore, it became no more than gratuitous aggression. Thus, on the whole, it is felt that Islam is an "… omnipresent…posing a threat;" therefore, "…violent
actions against…Muslims… [are made]…more palpable."
A Mohammed Tamigid pointed out that both Islamaphobia and Islamaphillia are both elements of the West's [neo-]Imperialism, and are part of a systemic racism. The cultural economy of the hate/love relationship here in the West have encouraged a carrot and stick methodology within contemporary Imperialism. This (trade) Imperialism (which includes Globalism and neo-liberalism) has been expanding about the planet. Even to Saxon province, where the former European Colonials are free to settle, to the resentment of the traditional citizens of the Nineteenth Century nation-state of that and other in other European regions, and with this crumbling worldwide economy can only lead to resentment, and to simplistic racist / sectarian blame – especially amongst the lower classes of the guest nations. Islam has had differences with Europe from the beginning – both in religion and imperialistic structures. Islamaphobia and Islamaphillia are two sides of the same coin. "Islamaphobia only gives reasons for the powerlessness" of the Metropoles (Centers of the Empire).

245 Evatt to Bailey and Makin
Cablegram [UNY]404 CANBERRA, 25 November 1946
Your UN.781. [1]
1. Berendsen has adopted correct approach [2] which should be fol-
low[ed] by Australian Delegation which should have strongly supported New Zealand. Reference your paragraph 12 vote on draft as a whole should be in Assembly.
2. Please convey following message to Berendsen:-
'I have seen report by our Delegation of your reply at fifth meeting of Trusteeship Sub-Committee One. You have put the position clearly and directly and I have instructed the Australian Delegation to give you complete support.
In my view any weakness or concession now would be a mistake and we should all stand firm and stand jointly on texts as submitted.
Dulles might be encouraged in his suggestion that in the event of disagreement drafts as they stand should go to Assembly to be voted on as a whole but I do not think that Australia will run the risk of Assembly defeat provided timely support is requested.
Drafts of all mandatory powers would stand or fall together.
In my judgment New Zealand has no cause to consider proposals put forward as you have already gone some way I personally think too far to meet objections and in your reply you need merely stand firm on draft after making points once again so well made by you last Friday. Regards.'
3. But Dulles' own attitude in filing modifications to Australia's draft is indefensible especially in view of messages received through Bailey that he approved our general approach. Fact is clear that administering authority must be trusted in order to become a trustee. Australia's record in New Guinea was outstanding and has never been questioned except by a few trouble makers at present conference. It needs no apology. What is now needed is strong counter attack. It is not much use talking of stone age and pleading or suggesting that we are willing to modify long established policy on trade or migration which would have converted New Guinea into a sphere of Japanese influence. All this I pointed out frankly at San Francisco. Berendsen's attitude is direct, courageous and sound.

What you miss here is the staff at CNA were awarded a 12.5% cost of living raise due to the expense of living there. The PC government then gave them 6% and held back the rest as their "severance" payment,which is required under Qatar law. In effect, the government is trying to "cheap out" and use a cost of living raise, take it from the employee, and use it to satisfy local legal requirements. They have lost every challenge in Qatar Court, yet continue to try and justify their immoral conduct. Classless.

I want to try repotting my holiday cacti in bark, which I am given to understand they not only prefer but likewise thrive in. I will be repotting and potting up a TG cactus, repotting only an EC and some CC cuttings I received from a GW member. With the exception of the TG cactus potted in nursery soil, the rest are potted in gritty mix. Will the bark below (used in gritty mix) work? Should I presoak it to ensure it will hold moisture? On average, how often should I then water (only when all the bark is dry, only when the top inch is dry, etc)?
Jeni |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Jeni - Josh likes all bark or lots of bark for his. I have 3 starts in the gritty mix and they're doing well, but I would defer to Josh because I think he has considerably more experience with the plant and is a good observer. I think your bark is a little on the large side, but still prolly ok for the gritty mix, especially for the cacti. Can you screen through a 1/2" screen? I'd water them like you would your other tropicals except in the fall & winter when keeping them on the dry side will help stimulate blooming. |

:-) Hey, Al! Yeah, screen out the large pieces, and it should be just fine. Pre-soaking is a good idea. As far as watering...in this particular case, it depends on container size, mostly. Don't be ashamed to use a kabob skewer to determine if there's moisture in the bottom of

If it wasn't for Josh, ALL my CC and TC would not look as well as they do. They are doing better than ever before! Do have have Hoya's? They too thrive in this. Thanks Josh!:-) Mike |
Thanks for the quick replies, Al, Josh & Mike! Unfortunately, all I have is a kitchen strainer so I can't sift anything larger out. I do have a hammer... Maybe I can judiciously smash and resift to remove the too fine pieces and powder? I don't have any hoyas either, though I am really optimistic to see how well the CC/EC/TG cacti take to an all bark mix. I may, just for comparative/curiosity's sake, keep a smaller EC in the gritty mix to compare against at a later date. I do have to say how much I love this bark mulch...it took awhile to find, but it's been a hands down win for me in my gritty mix. Thanks again :) Jeni |
I hope Jeni won't mind if i ask a question about bark: I have some composted pine bark fines. The bark is small, and I wonder if it's OK to use. It is abt.1/8". Since it's so fine, what should I mix it with (if anything-I have floor dry & can get Turface too) - I have hoya & some TC (or EC or CC). Also, would it be good for orchids? I think Canadian nickel is same size as US... Thank you. Rina |
If you screen it over insect screen, it should be ok in the gritty mix, or use it by mixing it into the 5:1:1 mix. If it's well composted, I think I might consider using it as a slightly smaller fraction of the gritty mix. For instance maybe a 2:2:1 bark or a 3:3:2 bark. Take care. Al, who for tonight is the sore back insomniac. ;-) |
Al Thank you, that's what I was hoping for since I have a lot of it...It smells so nice, it's like being in the forrest. Noticed time you answered - take care of your back. Rina |
Thanks. It's not really that bad. I had to help unload a very large insulating glass unit at the shop yesterday because all the guys were gone, and ended up pulling a little something or other. It was mildly uncomfortable, but I think it was the T-storm that woke me. Once up, I took a quick spin around the forums before heading back to bed & promptly falling back asleep. Too bad my alarm is as regular as clockwork, hmm? ;-) Two of my favorite fragrances I associate with working on plants are the smell of fresh conifer bark and rosemary. I LOVE working on the rosemary bonsai because of their fresh scent. .... begging a pardon for the cross talk, Jeni. Al |
Jeni I used all kinds of things to sift at the beggining: I even cut-up the large bark with pruners to get correct size. Hope it's working out for you, let us know. Rina |
Some of the things used to screen bark-turface-floor dry before I found proper size hardware cloth (some better than others): 1:this is used for pizza-holes are 5/16" Rina |

Jeni, That is soooo my DH with the hammer idea. He was such a good guy to offer to smash the larger bark pieces for me if I couldn't find the finer size. I guess great minds really do think alike. Thank goodness, I thought DH was a loner on this idea! Good luck. I love all the colors of cc and the intensity of the ec. |
Here I am, back from introducing the hammer to the bark. To be honest, I'm not even sure there's a difference in the size. Before hammering away, I did try to find a screen that would work - while I found the 1/2" hardware cloth, I couldn't bring myself to spend the $12 to get it. So this is the post-hammer product which hasn't been rescreened. Is it now okay to use? Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help thus far! Jeni |
J - If you used screened Turface or DE and an appropriate size grit as the other 2/3 of your mix, the bark should work, even if the bark size isn't ideal. This is another illustration of how/why our soils will essentially take on the physical properties of the combination of ingredients that are closest in size. In your case, the Turface or DE + the grit, together, will be the larger and finer fraction of the soil. They will tend to surround the bark particles, rendering the bark's presence in the soil far less significant in its effect on drainage and aeration. Can you picture the smaller particles surrounding the bark? If you had 2 fractions of the soil that were larger than optimal, the effect on aeration and drainage would be more dramatic. In this case, since we don't worry about those properties in a well-made gritty mix, our concern would be having enough water retention because of the out sized bark, but as we have just seen, it shouldn't be an issue. Even though the gritty mix is great at providing a healthy root environment, it's not immune to the effects of changes in particle size. For example, if you were to replace the bark fraction with an equal volume of peat, it would essentially undo the benefits the soil was intended to provide; so much so that it would be difficult to make a case for valuing it (with the peat fraction included) above any other soil you could buy off the shelf. This also illustrates why screening the fine particles out is so important to our realizing full benefit from the soil. The idea that because your bark is larger than ideal it won't have a significant effect on drainage/aeration parallels what happens when we try to amend peaty soils or other soils based on fine particles with bark and perlite. Essentially, you can't change the gritty mix much by adding the large bark particles to 2 equal portions of finer ingredients, just as you can't significantly change aeration/drainage of other large fractions of fine ingredients by adding lesser fractions of bark or perlite. If you start with a large fraction of fine ingredients, you aren't going to significantly change their collective properties by amending with a smaller fraction of large particles. Al |
Al, This particular batch is going to be bark only, though the rest that I have yet to sift will be for my gritty mix. I am glad to know it will work for it though, and thank you for taking the time to explain things. It's always appreciated! Jeni |
Success? I'm not sure if it's 1/2" screened or not, but I used a modified piece of plastic canvas (size 7, with four holes cut to make one large hole). Also, it seems they're more "chip" than "chunk"... Will that be an issue for the bark only mix? Jeni |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 13, 12 at 11:38
Hey, Jeni, I would say soak some bark, fill a container, and see how the bark settles and approximately how long it takes to dry out. If the bark seems especially compact in the pot, perhaps a portion of Perlite would be in order to displace some moisture and to hold the medium open.
Josh |
Josh, Thank you yet again for your help... :) I've filled a small terra cotta pot with the screened bark. It seems really fluffy...at one point I had enough water going into it that the bark actually rose. I think I'd be concerned that the medium wouldn't provide enough anchorage to keep the plant potted. If a picture would help, I'll grab a better camera and snap one., but for now, what would I be looking for in an ideal scenario? Jeni |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 13, 12 at 20:55
Oh, the roots will anchor and hold that bark together just fine. If the bark begins to rise, slow the water flow until the excess drains. Watering slowly is best for saturation. Josh |
Fantastic! Thanks again! Jeni |

PROVIDENCE — Simone Melo of Rehoboth, Mass., was among the many thousands who gathered Sunday morning at the Rhode Island Convention Center for the start of the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraising walk.
Melo's mother, Elisabete Peixinho, is a nearly four-year survivor of the disease.
"I do it for my mom. See, now you're going to make me cry," said Melo, a hairdresser at the family business, Peixinho Barber Salon in East Providence.
Joining the women on "Team Peixinho" was Melo's friend, Laura Amaral and her husband, George, and son Colin, of Blackstone, Mass.
"There's a threat of some showers, but I think we're all prepared for it," said Amaral. "If we get a little wet, it's all good."
Preparations included water for the grownups and cookies and apple juice for Colin, who also had the comfort of a stroller — a requirement for a 4-year-old on a three-mile walk.
"We've walked in snow before," said Melo. "Doesn't matter. We have umbrellas. We're good to go. We are prepared!"
The 9 o'clock hour came.
"All right," said Melo.
She and the Amarals headed off to join the rest of their team, which numbered 32, including the children — and including Melo's mother, who goes by Liz. They blended into a crowd of walkers wearing pink, the color of the breast-cancer education, research and treatment cause. Formerly held at Roger Williams Park, this year's event was moved to downtown Providence for the 16,000 or so anticipated participants.
Team Peixinho raised an estimated $1,200 for the American Cancer Society, Melo said. Nationally, more than $460 million has been raised in Strides events since 1993, according to the society. On its website, the society says that money is used for:
"Helping people stay well by educating and empowering women to live healthy lives and reduce their risk for breast cancer."
"Helping people facing breast cancer get well by providing information, day-to-day help and emotional support to guide them through every step of their breast cancer experience."
Investing in and conducting research that could lead to cures.
Lobbying elected officials to support the cause.
After the walk, Team Peixinho gathered for brunch in Rehoboth. Liz Peixinho's husband, John, picked up the tab, as usual. This was the family's fourth Strides event, said Liz, 67, when reached by phone.
"Every year we have a good team," she said, noting that she was diagnosed four years ago this December.
But now, she said, "I'm doing great."
Will she back next year?
"Absolutely," she said.

"This is a great base, but based on other's suggestions, I decided to modify it a bit and throw in some onion, garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken stock, pea pods, carrot, and some dumplings I hade on hand. It was really quite good."
"Great recipe, but because of the low protein content it's not Atkins friendly. Unfortunately, I'm just going to have to give it up. I've found, though, that if I take water and place it in a glass, add a scoop of protein powder, and stir, that it becomes Atkins approved. Would this work as a substitution in this recipe?"

Up to 4 more inches of snow could fall Wednesday
BY ART GOLAB Staff email@example.com February 27, 2013 7:36AM
Article Extras
Updated: February 27, 2013 9:45AM
The remnants of the winter storm that dropped a foot of snow near the Wisconsin border — but less than 2 inches in Northwest Indiana — could bring several more inches to the area Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Much like Tuesday's storm, the highest accumulation will be to the North and Northwest, in Lake and McHenry counties, which could see an additional 4 inches, said Mark Ratzer, a meteorologist for the weather service based in Romeoville.
"The northern suburbs will get the most," Ratzer said. "But we'll see some variable intensity (across) the area."
Will, DuPage and southern Cook counties will see between 1 and 2 inches of snow throughout the day. Snowfall is expected to stop about 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to the weather service.
Much like Tuesday, there's a strong chance any accumulation will turn to slushy "heart attack" snow with daily high temperatures expected to climb to 36, well above the freezing point. The predicted low for the day is 29, according to the weather service.
By early Wednesday, about 12 inches of snow had fallen in north suburban Beach Park, the storm's highest total so far, according to the weather service.
West suburban Downers Grove reported 5 inches, while Schererville, in Northwest Indiana, reported only 1.7 inches.
Airlines canceled more than 510 flights at O'Hare and 170 flights at Midway as of late Tuesday night, according to the Department of Aviation. Delays were averaging 60 to 90 minutes at O'Hare and at least 30 minutes at Midway.
Six state basketball tournament regional games being hosted by Chicago Public Schools were canceled, while many other school systems closed early or canceled after-school activities and evening classes.
The snowfall and warm temperatures made for a slushy Wednesday morning commute.
If the snow tapers off, Chicago's arterial streets should be mostly clear by the Wednesday morning rush, and plows will begin tackling side streets in the morning. "We'll work on the main roads until the snow subsides, then turn to the residential streets," said Streets and Sanitation spokeswoman Anne Sheahan.
The department's Snow Command full fleet of 284 snowplows hit the streets, while the Illinois Tollway mobilized all of its 182 snowplows and canceled all temporary lane closures through 7 a.m. Thursday.
The Weather Service urged people to take it easy when shoveling the "heart attack" snow: "Due to the weight of the snow, caution should be exercised to not overexert oneself during shoveling," an advisory stated.

Machinima Project in Need of a Model Rigger
My name is BallisticGE0RGE and I'm looking for a talented model rigger to help ready models for animation in UDK.
I'm currently a member of Team Epic Gamers, an Epic Games community team, and a proud director at Machinima.com, the largest independent youtube channel. I've made several machinimas and video series including Out of Service, a series that's reached over one million views in it's time on Machinima.com. I'm used to working in-game to make Machinima, but have finally taken the plunge into UDK. It's been a rough learning curve but I'm finally ready to start animating full episodes... However I need a modeler to rig up premade models from other games into UDK. If you think you are up to the task, drop a post in this thread! |

During times of economic stress, pressures on IT can become seemingly insurmountable. Requirements to "Ensure business services" and "Optimize availability" - challenging enough when budgets were more open, become extremely challenging. Spending freezes or significant reductions in capital infrastructure are common. However, just because the hardware or software acquisition budgets have been shrunk or frozen, doesn't mean the requirement to ensure business service uptime, availability and performance lessens. These challenges make the ability to business justify Capacity Management more critical than ever. Whether one has formalized processes - and the tools to accompany them, or one simply recognize the need to "Get started" with Capacity Management, it is critical that one be able to optimize the delivery of Capacity Management within the organization.
