The centuries-old discipline of anthropology has long struggled with a negative image among minority groups. Many say colonists and societies have used discoveries in the field as justification for mistreating Africans, indigenous people and other ethnic minorities.
Arizona State University officials said they believe that anthropology's reputation can improve with help from its new School of Human Evolution & Social Change, formerly the Department of Anthropology, which opened earlier this month. It is designed to teach students how to use anthropology with other social sciences to solve modern problems, said Sander van der Leeuw, director of the school.
Anthropology is an academic discipline with roots in the 17th century. The study emerged during the "Age of Enlightenment" — a period in which Europeans began to study human behavior. It also was a time in which colonists were moving into the Western Hemisphere, challenging native inhabitants for their land and resources.
The field makes comparisons between cultures, detailing the different physical traits and origins of various peoples. Van der Leeuw said it's time to start focusing the study on helping society solve current scientific problems.
"Anthropology should and can overcome the image of it as a tool (of racism) that it had during colonialism," van der Leeuw said. "It can contribute to today's society." For example, he said, students could study how pollution affects the spread of disease and the Earth by examining illnesses of ancient times.
Students at the school will take courses in several social sciences to broaden their skills, so they will graduate with an anthropology degree rooted in several fields.
Van der Leeuw plans to accept more students into the program, which currently has nearly 220 anthropolog y majors and 140 graduate students. He also hopes to attract more minority students.
Anthropology and several other social sciences are dominated by white students — a trend that some anthropologists have blamed on the discipline's racial reputation. Nearly 82 percent of the 6,777 social-science doctorates issued nationwide in the 2002-03 school year were obtained by whites, while only 7 percent were obtained by blacks, 6 percent by Hispanics, 5 percent by Asians, and less than 1 percent by American Indians and native Alaskans.
However, social science departments are making progress, said the American Anthropological Association. Anthropology departments have reported a surge in enrollment and degrees.
ASU's new school also has the new Center for Bioarchaelogical Research, which studies the history of tuberculosis, a disease that has affected a range of species, from elephants to humans, for thousands of years.

Young film director Lee Rielly has a script for success
Last updated at 21:05, Thursday, 26 July 2012
A Great Broughton teenager is directing his first feature film.
- VIDEO CLIP: Greenwood Manor
Lee Rielly, 16, of Coldgill Avenue, has created Greenwood Manor, based on a boy called James who loses his parents in a car crash.
It tells how he goes to stay at his aunt and uncle's house, where strange things happen.
The thriller is being filmed at Tallentire Hall, in Tallentire, near Cockermouth.
Written by Lee, it stars Calum MacGregor, of Cockermouth, and Jessie Cassidy, of Carlisle.
Lee, a media production student at Carlisle College, said: "I started writing the script in early May as a short film and it developed from there.
"After winning an award for my short film Goodbye Dad, I realised I could make better films and decided to develop Greenwood Manor into a longer feature film.
"The idea of the boy being alone in the house with strange things happening was sparked by the film Paranormal Activity."
Lee, who went to Cockermouth School and has written several short films, added: "A friend's family own Tallentire Hall so I'm lucky to be able to film there.
"I've always loved films and draw a lot of inspiration from directors like Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino."
He started filming Greenwood Manor on July 14 and will finish by August 7. He is looking for a venue to hold a screening in September.
The 80-minute film has been funded by Lee and his family.
Lee won a Royal Television Society award for best drama earlier this year for his three-minute film Goodbye Dad, which was filmed along the River Derwent near Great Broughton.
He said: "I'm directing and will be editing but I have a great cast and crew, mainly friends from my course, who have helped make the film possible.
"I really want to be a famous director so I will continue to make feature films and hopefully I will make more and more contacts."

The 16-year-old daughter of a superstar who was killed years ago in a plane crash, Marnie refuses to take part in her oppressive boarding-school community. She would rather burrow away in the dark, comforting world of her favorite Internet adventure game--especially now that she has started chatting online with another player, an intriguing rogue who calls himself the Elf. But closing herself off from the people around her doesn't mean she's safe, as Marnie soon discovers. Kidnapped, locked inside an empty basement cell, Marnie is forced to confront painful truths about herself and her famous mother, as she desperately tries to escape her jailer. Oh, how little her cyber-adventure game has prepared her for this real-life dungeon! And how she longs for just one more battle of wits with her mischievous Elf!
Marnie's RPG role turns real after she is kidnapped and she must use her RPG skills to escape.

3-Brain Centers Healing
Transcending Duality and 3 Brain Centers ~ Talk
24 Aphorisms for 3 Brain Centers
24 Aphorisms with Subliminal
3 Aspects of Surrendered Trust to Live from the Deep Peace of the Inner Sanctum
There are two sigils in the pdf that act in much the same way as power wheels. Look at them often and intend to enter into the mindlessness of deep peace.
Dispelling the Primary Illusions of the 8 Extraordinary Meridians
This week we begin to explore clearing of illusions of the 8 extraordinary meridians, through a meditation that leads you into the Black Waters of the Haaraknit (behind the navel, though not a place), and then to make a change in life from the compressed perspective of the High Heart–the portal of Oneness with the Infinite. As the High Heart activates, inner and outer realities merge as one, causing the dissolution of enslaving programs of belief systems. We will be working more deeply with the 8 extraordinary meridians next week as well.
Contemplative Talks
Beyond Memory and Stories: To support releasing and transcending emotionality, we must understand the illusion of memory and the past. This is a fundamental step in moving into a life of no reference points.
Magical Life Practices:
Meditation by Almine
Fluidity is mastery
UM1-6 Fluidity is Mastery mp3
Eternal realness…your home is the Infinite. HH oils on k-1 points and HH…Lotus on 671 pt and rose on forehead.
Omni-sensory perception
Heart opens to hold all within….earth in heart…opulent nature…senses hold us hostage in their separatism…Feel colors, hear them, feel all melt, taste all of nature….This is how a young child experiences because the senses are not yet separated. This is how impressions go so deeply in the child and how it can learn so quickly…because the child is an omnisensory being. This is the innocence that reawakens in surrendered trust. Awaken the childlike wonderment you once had, frolicking in the fields of nature`s delight. This will lead you to seeing the poetry of life, to creating your life as a work of art, engaging all without and within, to awaken the heart's song of joyful existence.
]]>Elaboration of Merkaba process given in Toronto
Quick Process with Blue Ball
Blink Process
First is my favorite meditation–the Crystal Throne (Ohio 2013)
Second is about activating the God Merkaba, and then contracting inner space through the High Heart and it expanding through outer space…as inner and outer merge, we live the resurrected reality..(Shamanic Retreat 2014) The meditation starts at about 33 minutes into the recording (other part is great too!)
Elaboration of Merkaba process
Quick Process with Blue Ball
]]>audio meditation by Almine–one of my favorites! I AM the Door of Everything mp3
I will elaborate on these wheels at some point, but for now use the wheels for contemplation and/or to establish a sacred circle. One process is to feel into how you are holding life, a project, a condition/situation, etc, place the wheels around you (start with wheel 1 where your head will be when lying down, and place clockwise in a circle around you). Lie down in the circle, and have the Wheels of Hope table at hand.
Enter into deep meditation, feel the 'issue'…how you are holding it, your feelings about it, your engagement with it, feel into assumptions, etc. Then take the sheet with all 16 wheels and read each one. Feel into the nuance of hope that the wheel represents, and sense how living that would impact on the situation. Look at the small image and intend that the wheel move up through your body, from feet to Lahun chakra, as you continue to feel what living that aspect of hope will bring. Do this for each of the 16 wheels.
When complete, feel the whole issue again, and see it playing out at a higher order, buoyed by a powerful field of hope, held in your heart. Envision highest pathways forward (without attachment and holding lightly to detail), and feel your hope as a pebble dropping in the pond of the heart and causing ripples to spread throughout your life and environment.
Thank the Infinite and Almine for the wonderful power wheels, and then dismantle the sacred circle, counterclockwise.
This program was developed to support everyone, no matter where you are on your healing and awakening journey!
In this program, you learn about the power of accessing alpha, theta, and delta brainwave states and have access to entrainment audios that will help you to reach those states quickly, in about 20 mins. Our brainwave patterns are an incredible healing and awakening technology that is barely tapped into by most people! Practice daily and master the mind for profound healing and awakening to inner genius.
The program describes the effects of cultivating each more consciously on healing, emotional equanimity, mental acuity and clarity, and deeper intuition, and provides you with state-of-the-art technology based on rhythms that uphold the golden mean ratio which holds the creative impulse of the universe and upon which our bodies are created. The program includes a detailed manual with very 'new' information and five entrainment audios, including one that attunes you to the pulsation of the planet. Aligning to the planet's pulsation has a deep regenerative and harmonizing effect on the body.
With a practice from 16-25 minutes of meditation per day, you will be able to reach deep meditative states that will reorder your being and your life.
Audio Meditations in the Program
First 3 audios take you to alpha, theta, and one to deep delta. These come with a guided process to activate each of the three centers of Intelligence that relate to the brainwave states. Head, Heart, and Gut center activation correspond to alpha, theta, and delta states.
The 4th audio gets you into a deep meditative state in under 7 minutes. The effect will be enhanced as you master the deeper brainwave states over time.
And the 5th is a powerful audio to get you to harmonize with the pulse of the planet. This one is perfect for those who cannot easily be out in nature or are exposed to many disruptive influences.
Three-Centers activation and Oneness Pulsation of the Planet (Schumann frequency)
This meditation leads you to activation in the three centers of Intelligence of Head, Heart, and Gut, and uses the Schumann frequency to entrain you to a deep alpha state that matches the pulse of the planet. The ancient mystics used techniques to reach alpha states of awareness where their brain activity would be in perfect harmony with the pulse of the planet, which is a deeply healing and life giving resonance. The 45-minute track will take you from waking consciousness into a deep alpha state that enhances healing, reprogramming, manifestation, harmony on all levels, and grounding in the body. Good for homeostasis and regeneration. Even good to fall asleep to.
To purchase this powerful audio program and get instant access to entrainment audios, use the purchase button below.
The special introductory price of $37 ends April 30th at midnight. (The product is normally priced at $47.)
Also as a special bonus until April 30th, you will receive a 6th audio of powerful affirmations to embody principles of health.
The Tool works through body codings and activations, making you a vibrational match to your desires in their fulfilled state. Your ability to tap into the power of attraction is optimized in this manner.
The Affirmation Enhancer Tool works by magnetic resonance to ensure that what you are radiating is in ever greater synchrony with your true desires and your highest good. The AET will act as a magnetic tracking device once you've set your creations in motion, calculating the optimal pathway to your desires fulfilled and guiding you to it.
But understand that with desires based in fear (i.e. that come from neediness), as you work to manifest them, the AET will support clearing of the fears so that you can manifest what is truly for your highest good. It is not 'designer healing' as so many are seeking, as that only increases the attachment to the material realm and furthers separation and pain.
The Tool comes with a powerful process and audio to clear lack mentality and transform all lack into healthy desire. The AET supports this process, but doing it consciously as well will accelerate change.
The best way to learn more about the Affirmation Enhancer: Listen to the audio links below:
Click Here to listen to an audio introduction to the Affirmation Enhancer Tool
(approximately fifteen minutes long)
The primary goal of the Affirmation Enhancer Tool is to support a return to the Self, so you can feel your true identity and true desires. The Tool will help you to fulfill your right and responsibility toward becoming self-sovereign, whole, and aligned to your Higher Self, thus magnetizing you to all that is in your highest good.
The Tool does extensive "body level" coding to ensure that you become a more powerful vibrational match to your true desires, and release all that may be limiting or suppressing you from striving for ever-greater things in life. The electromagnetic shifts strengthen your connection to Self, support clarity and higher guidance, and accelerate the manifestation of all true desires. Your clarity in life and connection to Self is the beginning of your empowerment to change your life.
The AET body level coding is done within a structured sequence of steps that stimulate your energy bodies to ensure that you are increasingly restored to wholeness and moving toward ever-greater embodiment of your desires in their fulfilled state.
After years of unhealthy relationships, the man of her dreams shows up within 4 weeks of using the AET. "Anita used the AET on me to open up to attracting the man of my dreams, I've had only unhealthy relationships and have been alone for many years. Within 4 weeks of this work, the guy showed up! I then had to work on allowing it and trusting that it was for real. Life feels so different without the drama, hurt, and anxiety over love that I was used to. I am respected and cherished and it's feeling more wonderful every day." Renee M., Moncton, NB. |
The effects will be subtle at first; but in time you will notice many changes, such as:
- Old behaviors and limiting patterns simply fall away
- Your thinking and emotional state become more positive
- Increased self-assurance and self-acceptance
- Sense of inner guidance and intuition about purposeful action
- Greater ease in life
- Enhanced vitality and passion for life
- Freedom to express and pursue your desires
- Physical and emotional healing
- Latent capacities begin to feel accessible
- Greater compassion and understanding of others
- People treat you with more respect and interest
- Greater happiness and joy
- Sense of personal power
The more you use the Tool, the more you will feel it as a supportive and loving presence in your life, and all who come into contact with you will sense the aura emanating from the Tool and receive benefits from it.
Consciousness is the Creator of Your Life
Your entire life takes place within your bodies, and outer life is a reflection of what is within your consciousness. When you attune and shift within to a higher order of being, this will be outpictured in your life as greater harmony and opportunity.
Your consciousness held within your bodies is like the movie maker/producer, and external life is the projector and the screen upon which you view the movie. The source of the movie you are watching is your consciousness embodied. So change elements that go into the production, and you change the movie you are watching. Similarly, change the depth of awareness of your consciousness, and you change your life. The deeper you go within and bring awareness to the subconscious mind, the more profound will be the changes in life.
In actual fact, your Higher Self is the consciousness that projects your life to you, but it must do so based on the vibratory patterns that you emit through thinking, feeling, and willing. The Higher Self is bound to express the lower vibrational patterns of your beliefs, with the result being that its own consciousness is dimmed in this realm. As you learn to engage life with the understanding that it is mirroring your own beliefs and as you seek spiritual revelation and illumination of your distortions through all that appears in your life, you raise your vibration and allow your Higher Self to create according to its nature to an increasing degree.
In effect, as you do this more and more, you plunge to the infinite depth within being and move into ever higher vibratory states, greater understanding and wisdom, greater freedom and power, and wholeness of being. In vibrating in sync with your Higher Self, your being and life begin the joyous dance-in-step that expands creation. When your vibratory patterns match your Higher Self's, you become the lucid dreamer of your life.
The Affirmation Enhancer Tool taps into the infinite intelligence of the human being and will do the particular body coding , to change your life in the manner you desire, so long as it is aligned to your highest good. |
The AET is an intelligence that works with your Higher Self and has access to the complete picture of your being. In general, AET codes focus on optimizing the body as a vehicle of manifestation, in such a manner that you are a vibrational match to your specific desires as well as the goals of your Higher Self. This is like continually optimizing film footage to produce the most joyful of stories.
Fundamentally the Affirmation Enhancer Tool changes your magnetism – the body codes are magnetic, and these determine what you consistently draw into and repel from your life. Magnetism is instantaneous and its power can potentially be infinite. It has as lower limit the speed of light, and has no upper limit. There is no limit to the power within the body.
The body is the most sublime technology in all of creation, because it is designed to evolve into a vehicle of God-consciousness. The AET helps you translate true desires of the soul into into the infinite power of the body to achieve your goals. However, the Tool is not a panacea and does not operate on its own. It operates within your evolving consciousness, and your effort at clarifying desires and deepening within are also key. The AET package has a lot of information and exercises to support you toward this end.
Receive the guidance and support to make permanent changes in your life today!
Comparing affirmations with and without AET is like comparing a Mazeratti to a VW bug!
"When Anita gave me affirmations to go with an issue I was working on at the time, I could actually feel the power and strength they had! I added a few of my own to Anita's list and when I would say them I could feel the difference between the affirmations she gave me using the Affirmation Enhancer Tool and mine which had not been enhanced. It felt like the difference between a Mazeratti and a VW bug! Unbelievable! So needless to say, now I use the Affirmation Enhancer every time I say affirmations. And I can feel the shifts almost every time I say them in a meditative state! I've released and healed so much in my life with it! Thanks for this wonderful tool!" Pat M. St Andrews NB |
Upon purchase of the AET, you will automatically receive the attunement to the Tool. This attunement links you etherically with the AET consciousness or 'light codes', which will then execute at your command. The etheric connection is yours for life, and you will automatically receive all upgrades to the Tool via this connection.

In addition to supporting numerous life-transforming changes towards greater power, connection to Source, and overall enlightenment as to your role in creation, the AET ensures that you are also shifted in specific ways to enable the accelerated manifestation of your true desires.
The AET may be used on affirmations, which state your desired creations verbally, or on your imaginations of what you desire, which may be something completely new, or a transformation of some unwanted limiting condition. It may be used on physical issues, conditions and circumstances, to improve relationships, to manifest the grandest of dreams, etc.
Whether verbal affirmations or imaged desires, the AET will execute a set of seven key steps that will ensure, increasingly with each step, that you are becoming a VIBRATIONAL MATCH TO YOUR DESIRES at ever deeper levels, so that manifestation is assured as your power to wield the law of Attraction is increased. With each step, your energy is cleared of all blocking influences, and all frequencies needed to align more deeply to your desires are infused and integrated into your body.
These steps, which are described in greater detail in the manual, are summarized in the table below.
AET Manifestation Steps |

Without freedom, we do not have a strong foundation to be able to move into Heart chakra consciousness. Only in freedom and wholeness are we incorruptible. When in freedom from attachment and neediness of things external to us, we will increasingly allow the deeper dimensions of our being to emerge in life, and will know ourselves as being in this world but not of it. We then are masters over the realm of the material. Clearing lack mentality will clear the distortions of the Root chakra primarily. This is part of a series of audio modules, From Fear to Freedom, that support a move out of the consciousness of the lower three chakras and into Heart chakra consciousness, which is the evolutionary path open to humanity at the present time.
Lack mentality is most devastating to our freedom, and will drag us down as the energies intensify in the coming years. This module will support you to flowing energetically all that you believed you were lacking. As you flow the essence of what you are missing out into the world from true Source, your being and life will shift from lack to infinite abundance.
The solution to lack is not to focus on manifesting this thing or that thing; rather it is on outpouring deeper self into the world, so that you show up for it in a whole new way: fully available to have life meet your deeper self that is emerging! In this manner, you engage the whole universe from increasing wholeness.
This work emerged from a process of vertical-awaring that I teach in the Remote Healing Sessions Program, and the audio meditation engages the three dantien centers of Intelligence to shift from lack to healthy desire. So as part of this product, you will also automatically receive activation of these three centers.

]]>Or you may read the article below.
Everyone can benefit from improvement in their relationships to loved ones. Most of us believe that improved relationships will come from others changing, or from us making compromises and turning a blind eye to things that bother us. But if you really understand that your life emerges from you and for you, the manner in which your relationships appear to you in life is determined by the lessons and blessings you are attracting.
When you judge another as needing to change, you place your limited perceptions on the situation, which influence the outcomes you can connect with. Moreover, you deny your own power to impact on your reality, which will emerge as you embrace oneness of being by deepening within. Nothing external to you has power over you, and so long as you believe it does are you refusing to take responsibility and step into your true power to shape reality.
At any point in time, there are infinite potential realities to experience, and you choose the one to be experienced by your thoughts and intentions. This may not be instantaneous (though it can be); but with consistency born of faith in the power granted you in life, you will witness others changing around you. So when you judge, you choose the outcome in which the person will remain as they are—in other words, you choose the reality in which the 'unwanted' object of your judgment is locked in.
Have you ever felt judged? Typically, the reaction to judgment is defensiveness and resentment. And what a person defends will naturally persist. In your judgment, you encourage others to persist in what you don't like. Moreover, what you react to in judgment is what you have not made peace with and resolved in yourself. Furthermore, judgment separates you from life as it seeks to control, and control chokes off life from the flows of wisdom that underlie it. Whenever you judge, you are in disharmony with the wisdom-will or the intelligent substance into which are built-in the divine universal laws, and in disharmony you attract struggle. In the Course in Miracles, judgment is presented as the only sin.
When you need another person to change, you place your empowerment on something outside of you, where it is not. The fact is that nothing on the outside is cause, but rather the effect of your emerging consciousness. Effects cannot harm or diminish you, nor can they interfere with your power to direct and shape your life. What interferes is your perceived powerlessness. Feeling that another must change in order for you to be happy or in order to have the freedom to do certain things in life is choosing disempowerment. And finally, compromise is a lose–lose situation. In compromise, we negotiate our rights and we lose integrity. We become enmeshed in unspoken 'contracts' that bind all involved in unconscious ways.
The solution is innocent perception. In Love Without End (by Glenda Green) is stated that innocence belongs to the Holy Father, to the sacred center of each person's Heart. Through Innocent Perception, all misconceptions may be exposed and released from one's life. How you perceive another determines which version of the other you are entering in relationship with. There are no objective observers in life—your perception is co-creating the experience with the other person. If the other person exercises Innocent Perception, they will influence you to change your mind. But if you recognize your judgment, be the first the act.
Love is a power far greater than judgment. And when you act from Innocent Perception, the situation changes in favor of a higher order reality. Innocent perception does not mean you ignore what you see. It means that you perceive it without placing guilt on another. In innocence, you can see the wounds, fear or ignorance out of which the other is acting and nothing is taken personally. Your reality is not threatened in any way. In innocence are revealed insights and understandings that are not accessible outside of the heart. Moreover, in innocence, you bring the heart of God to bear on the situation, and thus open yourself to miracles. And as you see this clearly in another, so will you clearly see the wounds of your own parts that have been reactive until now.
In Innocent Perception, rather than allowing yourself to be triggered, you see the wounds or misconceptions out of which others are reacting and you flow compassion and understanding to them. When you bear witness to deeper reality from the power of love, everything is reordered and wounds begin to dissolve for all involved.
You might be asking, "What if someone is verbally attacking me, do I just take it?!!" Well you don't have to take the attack in (i.e. you don't have to let the violence tear you apart), but how has engaging in defense and counter-attack ever served you? Surrender the defensiveness, know that the other person's reaction is not personal, still your mind and open your heart, feel your love of God, and be still. When you no longer engage in reactions with the lower ego of others, you weaken your own lower ego…you surrender its patterns. When you surrender the lower patterns, higher ones become established, and these emerge from a deeper part of you.
What you will notice in time is that you move outside of being in the thoughts and emotions. You become the observer consciousness that has thoughts and feelings going on but is not identified in them. That is how you become inwardly free.
When you engage with the lower ego, you weave a 'vibrational fabric' with others made up of dysfunctional dynamics. This creates a dense, tangled, enmeshment wherein all players are stuck in their unresolved past and not present to the moment where the light of spirit dwells. You bind yourself and others to this lower level that is outside of reality. Think of becoming still in mind and opening your heart to seeing with innocence as loosening the tight weave and eventually allowing the threads to unravel. You will work your way out of the enmeshment and rise to a higher level of being wherein you engage, inwardly with presence, in whatever the moment stirs up. As you withhold reaction and acknowledge and hold that part in you with compassion, and do likewise for others, you change the vibrational fabric you weave into and release everyone from the bondage of illusion.
In this state of higher love that orders the world, you can ask yourself what you'd like to experience with this other person and what energies you must engage to feel that experience honestly. By moving into the energies of the experience you desire, you are informing the intelligent creative substance out of which all things emerge, which reality you want to weave yourself into. The process leads you to personal growth and a greater sense of empowerment, as well as greater happiness.
Below is a set of trigger affirmations that can help you heal and improve relationships and move you into innocent perception. Use the ones that speak to you the most, and state and feel into them for at least seven days for best effect.

Members of the United Auto Workers union protested in Detroit yesterday against the two-tiered wage system that dominates American automotive plants. The Detroit News reports the protestors called the system unfair, and claimed it "erodes the middle class."
The UAW is currently renegotiating contracts with Detroit's Big Three automakers, Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors. The protestors want the new deal to put an end to the two-tiered wage system that was first introduced in 2007. Under the system, new workers in American factories are typically paid $14 to $16 per hour, while veteran line workers can earn $28 per hour or more.
According to the News, the two-tier plan helped the Big Three better compete with foreign automakers, which generally pay their assembly-line workers less than UAW factories. The protestors in Detroit claimed that this could "pave the way" for lower wages for all employees, and that doing so would "erode the middle class" of auto workers.
UAW President Bob King, however, says his union won't make any more concessions in its current round of negotiations. Indeed, King said it's reasonable for the union to demand higher wages. However, King has also cautioned that wage increases could slow the recovery of American automakers. He instead advocates profit-sharing programs, wherein automakers supplement workers' paychecks when times are good. Finally, the UAW will attempt to spread its influence to the factories of foreign automakers in other parts of the U.S. over the coming months and years.
The UAW currently represents about 112,000 hourly employees with Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors. The union's current contract is set to expire September 14.

While I know it does not boil down to ABFPRS or ABPS alone, I would like to know which might be the better indicator in choosing a facelift surgeon. The problem is I don't know anyone personally who has had a facelift, so I need to use other criteria in making my selection.
For a Facelift, is an ABFPRS or ABPS Surgeon Preferred?
Doctor Answers (14)
A facial plastic surgeon is an ENT with additional training in facial plastic surgery. A plastic surgeon has been trained in this as a part of plastic surgery residency and/or fellowship. There are some plastic surgeons who have been further trained in aesthetic facial surgery. Training at multiple top level institutions is a good indicator.
Both ABPS (requires the longest training) and ABFPRS are a start and important in choosing the best plastic surgeon. The most critical decision to be made in achieving the best plastic surgical result is picking the most experienced and talented, that is the best, plastic surgeon possible. Too often, patients choose a physician based on a catchy ad, the brand name of a technique, the basis of one or two before and after photos, or their web site's search engine ranking. These criteria will not find the most experienced and talented plastic surgeon.
My Background
Dr. Larry Nichter
I have been a practicing plastic surgeon for more than 25 years, having trained scores of plastic surgeons as a tenured professor of plastic surgery at USC, and I have had a private practice in Orange County since 1993. Speaking from all this experience, here is my advice and the criteria I would use to find the best plastic surgeon in Orange County, Los Angeles, California, or anywhere in the United States. These are the criteria I would use to select a plastic surgeon for my friends, my family, or myself.
First, I want to stress some general observations I have found to be true over the years.
Caveat Emptor: Buyer Beware
The longer a surgeon trains at his craft, the finer his skills and the better his judgment become. Board certification in Plastic Surgery (see below) is a bare minimum. Board certification in an additional surgical field recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, or for that matter "triple-board certified," attests to a doctor's advanced training and skill and judgment. It also means that they have attained Chief Resident Status in more than one field during their training which means they essentially ran a large departmental service and had senior decision-making and independent operating responsibilities. It is this step that is most maturing for a surgeon.
The institution where the surgeon trained is also important. More renowned schools usually attract the best faculty.
You can use the internet to research the background of a prospective plastic surgeon quickly. Please do this prior to making an appointment. "Just because you wear a baseball cap it doesn't mean you are a good ball player." The same applies to anyone wearing a white coat—it doesn't make you a plastic surgeon, much less a great one.
Caveat Emptor in Latin means "Buyer Beware." In most states, including California, any physician with a medical school diploma and state license is viewed as a doctor and a surgeon—even without any formal surgical training. In some cases even doctors who have completed only the minimal requirements (medical school, licensing examination, and a one-year internship that need not include surgical training) are touting themselves as "cosmetic surgical experts." They make these claims of expertise despite the fact that they are only formally trained as family practitioners, OB/Gyns, emergency physicians, dermatologists, or ear-nose-throat specialists. Even physician assistants and nurses have made such claims.
7-Step Process for Finding the Best Plastic Surgeon
The following are my screening guidelines and criteria for picking the best plastic/cosmetic surgeon.
1. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
The American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only certifying board in Plastic Surgery that is a member of the American Board of Medical Specialties. Use these links to look up a prospective surgeon's status.
To become a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery requires a minimum of five years of surgical training with a minimum of two years of training specifically in plastic surgery. Then the applicant must also pass a comprehensive written board exam. If successful, the candidate must present his/her clinical cases for critical review by board examiners (I was one such board examiner) and if accepted will take a series of oral examinations.
Since the 1990s, the American Board of Plastic Surgery Certification is only valid for ten years. To retain your board certified status, a plastic surgeon must complete a Maintenance of Certification including written testing and case review. This means that all who pass are trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures including facial procedures, breast, and body; essentially all cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
If a Plastic Surgeon is additionally board certified by another surgical specialty recognized the American Board of Medical Specialties, then this also marks additional expertise and training at the highest level. The American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery (ABFRS) is not a licensing body nor an educational institution and the certificates it issues are not legal licenses to practice facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The ABFRS is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (although it does note additional specialty training/interest in facial aesthetic surgery).
Likewise, beware of physicians armed only with certification from other non-ABMS recognized boards or special society memberships other than those I have recommended (eg. "Cosmetic Surgery Board," "Lipoplasty Society of North America," etc.).
2. Fellow of the American College of Surgeons: FACS
The American College of Surgeons is dedicated to improving the care of the patient and to safeguarding standards of care in an optimal and ethical practice environment. Members of the American College of Surgeons are referred to as "Fellows." The letters FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) after a surgeon's name mean that the surgeon's education and training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct have passed a rigorous evaluation, and have been found to be consistent with the high standards established and demanded by the College.
To be a member you have to:
be board certified in a surgical specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties
be in practice in one location for a number of years, with a background check, nomination, and interviews which verify that you are an ethical and safe surgeon among other criteria.
Hint: Look for the "FACS" (or "FRCS," see below) after the "MD" in a doctor's title or in his/her Curriculum Vitae to see if he/she is a "real surgeon."
Note for patients in Canada: The equivalent of FACS in Canada is the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, FRCS.
3. Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is the largest organization of plastic surgeons in the United States and one of the largest in the world. ASPS members are uniquely qualified because of the society's membership requirements:
Members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons must be Board Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery complete at least 5 years of surgical training with a minimum of 2 years of training specifically in plastic surgery. The more years of Plastic Surgical Training the better – this includes fellowships in a plastic surgical field.
American Society of Plastic Surgeons members are required to adhere to a strict code of ethics and must fulfill rigorous Continuing Medical Education (CME) requirements including patient safety issues.
Lastly, ASPS members are required to operate at accredited surgical facilities certified by one of the following USA organizations: American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, Inc., Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc., or the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.
Beware of physicians without this membership but belonging only to similar-sounding societies as their claim to excellence eg. "American Society of Cosmetic Surgery," "Lipoplasty Society of North America," etc.
4. Member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
This is the most elite society in the United States and perhaps the world for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To be a member means that your career is focused in cosmetic surgery at the highest level. Among the requirements for invitation and election to ASAPS membership, a plastic surgeon must:
Be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (or in plastic surgery by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada);
Be in at least the third year of active practice following board certification;
Participate in accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) to stay current with developments in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery and patient safety;
Document the performance of a significant number and variety of cosmetic surgical cases to demonstrate wide experience;
Be sponsored by two ASAPS-member plastic surgeons to help ensure that the applicant's professional reputation meets the high standards required by ASAPS;
Adhere to current ethical standards for professional conduct as outlined in the Code of Ethics observed by all ASAPS-member surgeons;
Operate in accredited surgical facilities; and
Be elected by at least 80% of the Active Membership.
Find an ASPS member online.
5. Hospital privileges to perform the same type of surgery
Hospitals often examine qualifications of doctors applying for hospital staff privileges and restrict privileges to only surgeons best trained and qualified to do certain procedures. For example, in order for surgeons to be granted plastic surgery privileges in most hospitals in Orange County, California, that surgeon must have completed plastic surgery residency training and must be board-eligible or -certified in plastic surgery to be allowed to perform plastic surgical operations in that hospital.
Non-surgeons and other physicians that are not plastic surgeons circumvent this process by performing surgery in their offices or in outpatient surgery centers where the credentialing process is less rigorous or nonexistent. In these settings non-plastic surgeons perform procedures in which they have no formal residency training.
I am not warning against use of outpatient surgery centers or in-office procedures. I am only recommending that you check that your physician has hospital privileges for these same procedures.
6. Surgical Experience in the procedure you are having
Few patients ask how long doctors have been doing a certain procedure or how many they have performed. When you consult with a plastic surgeon:
Ask to see typical "before and after" photos;
discuss the details of the procedure in a manner that is clear to you;
review benefits and potential complications;
get full answers to your questions.
7. Evidence of Excellence, Experience and Commitment to the field of Plastic Surgery
Here are some additional criteria to look for in your plastic surgeon.
Surgical Board Certification in more than one field
Plastic Surgical Fellowships in addition to Plastic Surgical Residency.
Number of years practicing.
Peer Review Honors in their own board certification from groups such as Best Doctors, Top Doctors, Super Doctors.
Current or Prior position denoting excellence in the field or high regard by their peers such as:
Prior or present Professor or Faculty affiliation with a University Plastic surgical program (the higher the rank the better)
Chairman of a Department of plastic surgery at a regional hospital
Honors from surgical societies of which they are members such as Board Examiner, etc.
Published Plastic Surgical papers in peer review journals are also a good sign that they are committed to being on top of their field.
Feel Comfortable with your choice
It is very important that after you have done this screening and met with your potential surgeon that you feel confident in your choice.
Complications are not common in cosmetic surgery, but if one did occur are you confident that this surgeon would take charge and handle just about any problem?
Do you feel that he listens to you and communicates well by answering your questions completely, doesn't rush you in to a decision but rather makes you part of the decision-making process? You should truly feel that it is a combined effort.
Does the surgeon's office run smoothly? Do the staff take good care of you? If you answered in the affirmative and have gotten this far in your screening guidelines then I think you have found your "Dr. Right."
—Larry S. Nichter, MD, FACS

Both specialities have training in performing facelifts. An ABPS trained surgeon has more comprehensive training in all aspects of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery for the face and body, whereas an ABFPRS trained surgeon is trained in ear, nose, and throat surgery with additional training in facial cosmetic surgery. If you don't personally know someone who has had a facelift, then ask a doctor you trust for some recommendations or get names from the referral services of both organizations. Then schedule a consultation with several doctors, explaining your concerns and goals, and listen to what each has to say. Ask to see photos of results and see if you connect with one doctor. You want to choose a surgeon with whom you feel comfortable, someone who seems to understand what you are looking for, and who has experience and an artistic sense of beauty.

Both boards are acceptable board requirements for facial plastic and plastic surgeons. More importantly, it is best to look for a surgeon who has extensive experience in facial surgery, dedicates their practice to facial cosmetic surgery, performing an extensive amount of facelifts. It is also important to make sure that the surgeon performs the procedure in a certified ambulatory surgery center and that the anesthesia is performed by a board certified physician anesthesiologist. Also, look for before and after photographs with a very natural and refreshing result rather than the pulled and wind tunneled look. This will give a good indication of the surgeons work and competency.
Web reference: http://seattlefacial.com/photogallery/facelift_photos28.html#
Both are trained to perform facelifts. You should choose your facelift surgeon according to his ability to understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally more youthful and attractive face. Experience performing faclifts is simply not enough.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com/PalmerCelebrityLift.html
Plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery are comprehensively trained in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and body; facial plastic surgeons have training in ear nosse & throat surgery followed by fellowship training in facial plastic surgery. So both are equally trained and capable, depending on the focus of their specific practice. Plastic surgeons don't have less training in facial surgery, just additional training in procedures for other parts of the body.
You are not alone in wondering who to select as your surgeon. It is not easy. As you already know, choosing a plastic surgeon who is a member of either society is a good first step. However, just as you would do in choosing a builder or an architect, you need to look at their work. If you can find 10 before and after photos of results that you personally would find satisfactory, that is a good sign. I call this the "rule of 10." The photos should be patients that had surgery performed by your surgeon of course (and the after photos should not be embellished with makeup, jewelry and big smiles). You also need to become educated about the difference in techniques (all facelifts are not created equal and some are of questionable benefit, particularly "minilifts"). The single most important decision in getting a good result is your choice of surgeon. If you wish to read more about facelifts, you can visit my website. I've attached a link.
Web reference: http://www.swansoncenter.com/content/ideal-facelift/introduction/what-is-a-facelift.asp
It seems to me that you would like to select a surgeon who is well trained, has lots of experience in facelift procedurees, and with whom you feel comfortable. Please don't forget about oculo-facial plastic surgeons (certified by ASOPRS) who are among the most excellent and qualified of all doctors who do facelift procedures.
Web reference: http://www.kassmd.com
The ABFPRS certifies facial plastic surgeons and the ABPS plastic surgeons. Both are trained in facelifts. That certification alone does not mean the doctor is a good facelift surgeon. Look at before and afters (make sure they are from your surgeon). Find out what percentage of their practice is faces vs. body surgery such as breast surgery and lipo.
Web reference: http://www.mdface.com/Choosing.html
There are very experienced and skilled surgeons that practice under both. The key is not which board certified them, it is how experienced the surgeon is in performing the procedure that you are interested in, in your case a facelift. Spend time with the surgeon and look at before and after pictures and do more than one consultation. These steps will help you feel more comfortable with your decision.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Beautiful. Great that you had the camera handy too. LindaB/CA |
You have an artist's eye. That is a very pretty design. |
I think that would make a lovely 'stained glass' pillow. Well, a striking quilt, too; but I'm on pillows at the moment... planned to make one for a friend but didn't find a 'stained glass' pattern I liked and now I've run out of time... for a present for this year. |
very pretty. (I love the snow too!) |
very nice thanks for sharing |

Great expectations led to a greater letdown
*This is the first part of my season recap and review for the Sabres. In the coming days and weeks I will have further reviews of the team and season, player-by-player grades and offer some thoughts on Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier. I will provide a full schedule of posts coming soon.*
The bottom line with regard to this season is that the Sabres didn't meet their goal. Ignore the goodwill created by their late push or even the 10-5 start they enjoyed in the fall. Of course, that means you need to ignore the mid-season slump as well. Lump it all together and accept the failure to make the playoffs. Sure, you can review and discuss the different portions of this schizophrenic season, but just understand that everything adds up to the end result.
Obviously there were plenty of factors that conspired to keep the Sabres from the postseason. Injuries played a part, along with the arguments of a mentally fragile team, coaching issues and under-performing players. There wasn't one single factor that stood out to me as the primary reason the Sabres struggled so mightily. However, some stand out more than others.
There is no ignoring the Milan Lucic incident as the tipping point for this year. Lucic isn't the reason the Sabres missed the playoffs, but his actions certainly started the snowball down the mountain. First off, the injury that Ryan Miller suffered set him back nearly three months. His play was strong early in the year, regressed some in late October and didn't fully recover until late January. Not having Miller for all of November and December had a terrible effect on the roster.
Looking at Miller individually, his numbers suffered so much in that span that his stellar play late in the year only brought him back to the pack, rather that elevating him to an elite level. Jerry Sullivan would have you believe that Miller let the team down and was sub-par this season. That is to be expected from a guy who probably wasn't at more than a handful of games all year.
What truly cost the Sabres this season was the inability of their core players to show up when it mattered. Whether that was the loss to Philadelphia or the woes they suffered through in November and December. Too few players contributed on a regular basis while others coasted by and did little.
This is where the crux of the injury excuse lies and where I say to ignore that argument. Yes injuries took away key players for key periods of time. Most of those players were defensemen and that likely changed the approach for Lindy Ruff. However, Derek Roy, Drew Stafford, Ville Leino and Brad Boyes weren't on the shelf that entire time – Boyes and Leino did miss some time with injury. Those players were held silent for nearly the entire year while Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek did a majority of the scoring. The ineffective play of forwards who were expected to contribute was a much bigger issue than those who were injured.
Now, some of the blame probably lies with the coaching staff and some lies with the players. Exactly who should be more responsible is a mystery. There is no way to quantify who needed to do more. What you can say is that both parties failed to do their jobs properly and need to answer for it.
Give credit to Lindy Ruff for managing to find chemistry with Tyler Ennis, Drew Stafford and Marcus Foligno. Putting Andrej Sekera with Robyn Regehr was a stroke of genius for a long period of time. However, Ruff also ran Miller into the ground (yet again), failed to ever find more than one consistent scoring line and badly misused a number of his forwards.
Add in that the Sabres managed to waste away a number of points with blown leads at various points of the season. The loss to Colorado stands out the most with the tying goal being scored with just seconds left. But failing to hold the lead against Philly and Boston earlier in the year and soft efforts in games where they lost narrow efforts could have easily been enough to put the Sabres in the playoffs.
Another nice piece of reporting done by Jerry Sullivan said that Ruff and Regier were responsible for trying to jigsaw Leino and Boyes in as centers. Only Leino was expected to play center. Boyes was brought here as a winger and was only moved to center because of injuries (last year) and his linemates (this year). Brad Boyes was never sold as a center by the Sabres; he was put there out of necessity.
Boyes was, however, poorly used for a majority of his tenure. A scoring winger, he lit things up for a while upon arriving here. Of course the goals dried up and he was very average for nearly this entire season. However, lay blame with Ruff for stuffing him on the fourth line alongside Matt Ellis, Pat Kaleta, Cody McCormick and others. There is no excuse for Boyes' regression, but he certainly wasn't given much of a chance to succeed. Leino has less forgiveness because he did play with talented forwards. However, he spent a majority of his first three months bouncing around the roster and struggled to develop chemistry with anyone. He found success here and there but never settled in. It was a lost season for a player with a huge cap hit and big expectations.
There needs to be some serious evaluations done at all levels by the Sabres in order to take the next step forward in Terry Pegula's goal of winning the Stanley Cup. Whether the players or management are the group to be broken apart remains to be seen; either way it should be a busy summer.

This is an article that i would like to read in BN. Good, pertinent analysis, refreshing point of view. Bravo!
MaryMcL permalinkApril 11, 2012 6:51 pm
Agreed – the BN is tiresomely predictable. Some of those columns must write themselves by now, they've been grinding the same axes for so long
Re Leino – remember the game in Vancouver – he was on a line with Tropp & Kaleta (I think) but the point is that line had nine or ten scoring chances and only gave up one. Something to think about. I think it's too soon to give up on Leino – and honestly I don't get why so many people in Buffalo thought he was some kind of power forward like John Leclair. He reminds me of Esa Tikkanen – in the sense that he's the kind of player who ramps it up bigtime during the playoffs. That said, he hasn't had a gooyear but I don't think he's the collossal disappointment he's been called in the bigtime media. Happily he seems to have a pretty thick skin, he strikes me as a basically happy go lucky man and for what it's worth I think this locker room could use a healthy dose of that – too many moody guys in a brown funk at the same time.
Looking forward to you and 3MI doing a podcast/wake sometime soon, yes?

Charity shops and the environment
- Charity shops provide a second life for an increasing range of items, including books (with more specialist charity bookshops opening every year), CDs, DVDs, toys, furniture, bric-a-brac and electrical items (where these can be tested first).
- In 2013, our members told us that 96% of materials donated to their shops were recycled or sold on for reuse. Only 4% of materials donated to charity shops end up in landfill (1).
- Each charity shop diverts an average of 34 tonnes p.a. of textiles from landfill, by a) selling them in the shop, or b) passing them on to textile merchants for recycling or reuse.
- Over 347,000 tonnes of textiles are sent on for reuse and recycling by charity shops every year(2).
- Reuse of clothing saves 29kg CO2e per kg of clothing compared to recycling and 33kg CO2e compared to disposal(3).
- Based on 2013-14 landfill tax value at £72 per tonne, the value of textiles reused or passed for recycling by charity shops in terms of savings in landfill tax is £25,053,000 p.a.
- UK charity shops' reuse activity alone helps reduce CO2 emissions by about 7.3m tonnes p.a.

text: Oppositional Defiant Disorder, a manifestation of Conduct Disorder, is characterized by a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior towards authority figures that seriously interferes with the youngster's day to day functioning. All children are oppositional from time to time, and oppositional behavior is often a normal part of development for two-to-three year olds and early adolescents. However, a diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder is considered when the behavior is so frequent and consistent that it stands out when compared with other children of the same age and developmental level and when it affects the child's social, family, and academic life.

NetLogic Microsystems, into intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, has announced the industry's first open–source Xen hypervisor for high-performance multi-core MIPS64 processors. The new XEN hypervisor enables highly efficient virtualization for next-generation communications, networking and server platforms using the industry's XLP and XLP II multi-core, multi-threaded processors.
The Xen hypervisor is a fast and secure infrastructure virtualization solution that enables multiple instances of the same or different operating systems (OS) on a single processor. Each OS will not only run completely independently, but also securely so that the software running on one operating system is protected from that on another operating system. So, multiple applications can run on a single processor, but operate completely independently from each other.
This enables developers create compact, multi-function systems solutions that take full advantage of multi-core processors while minimizing power consumption. For example, a base station can be designed to provide both 3G and LTE services with a single processor, ultimately reducing the cost and complexity of the hardware, while enhancing the flexibility and capability of the system solution.
NetLogic's XLP and XLP II multi-core, multi-threaded processors are the industry's highest performance communications processors that feature an innovative quad-issue, quad-threaded and superscalar architecture with out-of-order execution capabilities. This architecture makes the XLP and XLP II processor families suited for the virtualization of multiple applications and multiple operating systems on each of the high-performance cores. The flagship XLP processor family in 40nm operates at up to 2GHz and delivers cache-coherent scalability of up to 128 NXCPUs, while the next-generation XLP II processor family is designed for up to 2.5GHz and scalability up to 640 NXCPUs in the state-of-the-art 28nm process.
The Xen hypervisor is a thin software layer that resides between the operating system and the processor, thus providing an abstraction layer that allows each processor to run as multiple virtualized processors. As a unique open-source technology, the Xen hypervisor is developed collaboratively by a broad community comprising leading system original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), software and application providers, and semiconductor vendors. The Xen hypervisor from NetLogic Microsystems is freely accessible through the Xen open-source community.
"Our embedded multi-core processors are designed to deliver the highest performance per core, they lend themselves particularly well to virtualization techniques by our leading customer base," said Chris O'Reilly, vice president of marketing at NetLogic Microsystems. NetLogic Microsystems' Xen hypervisor will be submitted to the open source community in the first quarter of 2012.

A few days ago I noticed that my echinacea were looking a bit wilty. I had watered well, yet I don't think I over watered either...it looked like it might have been getting choked out a bit by a bushy rudbeckia, so I decided to move it, being it's still technically spring. I also decided a different bushy rudbeckia ought to be moved too, as to give it more room sine it was pushing itself out against a boxwood.
So the day before yesterday I got up early, about 7 am, so it would be nice and cool when I moved my babies around. I gave them some water, and expected some major pouting from them. I've experienced this before, and usually within a week divisions seem to perk back up to normal. But I didn't divide these, just re-plunked 'em. Uh oh. Here it is two days later and they are still REALLY pouting. Darn near wilted to the ground actually. They seem to perk up in the morning when it's cooler, but the transplant and this heat just don't seem to be giving them a chance to recover. Do you think I might still get blooms this year? Or will they be too busy trying to stand up straight that I'll have to wait until next year? Or do you think they could be gonners altogether? |

This late in the year really isn't a good time for transplanting echinaceas. The heat is just too much for them. They're probably still in 'shock' as we call it, from transplanting. I doubt you'll get blooms this year because blooming is the last thing that this plant is thinking about doing right now. Right now it's just trying to get its root system established, but don't worry. Given time, the plant should perk back up and it should be fine. |
I'm curious about this as well, especially the wilting part. My echinaceas (several established clumps) were looking extremely droopy. We've had about a week of rainy, drizzly overcast weather. Even though we have extremely well draining soil, I thought maybe some root rot had gotten a hold of them so I dug up the clumps and the roots looked good -- healthy colored. The soil around was moist but not wet. They seem to perk up during the cooler parts of the day and then droop again during midday even with temps only in the mid to high 70s. Wondering what's going to happen when temps reach the 80s and higher later in the summer. |
- Posted by quilt_mommy (My Page) on Sun, Jun 14, 09 at 16:49
dorothyz6 - that was my feeling too, is that our temps are only in the 70's so I didn't think they'd droop so much. *fingers crossed for both of us* |
quilt_mommy -- I'll keep my fingers crossed as well. What perplexes me in my case is that none of my clumps had been moved. And I thought with all the rain, drizzle and dampness we've been having they shouldn't be underwatered, which was why I suspected root rot from too much moisture. But the roots looked fine and they perked back up. I assume once root rot gets a hold, the plant won't survive. So, I'm still perplexed. :) Hopefully, come the heat of summer, both ours will be happy! |

I am not saying names but some country girl one time when first in gardening split plants in august plunked some also. It was up in the upper 90's. LOL water throughly and be patient. I promise you it will be just fine and I think that country girl had blooms that year also. Not like I would know from my own risky chance taking or anything lol. I would never do anything like that, heck I know you only split in spring and fall, roflol. |
It really is too warm (even in the 60's) to expect taller plants like this to transplant well. I'm known far and wide for use of numerous baby pools all year long...lol. They hold my plants awaiting relocation or new plants. If you want blooms this year? Take them out and stick them in 6" of water in some sort of container. Wait about a week or maybe a bit more depending upon the weather and then replant. They should be fine then as they've started new root growth and gotten over the shock. I also do this with large shrubs of all types...works like a dream! I just took out a 6' tall Diablo Ninebark that needed more sun 10-12 days ago and it's about ready to go back in the ground. I put it in water in the shade for a week making sure it wasn't droopy then this week started giving it morning sun only. I'll move it into full sun for a few days and if it doesn't droop, it's ready to be planted. Pools also take the pressure off doing it NOW or worrying about stuff if you're away. For just a few plants, pails, serving bowls "etc" work fine. |

countrycarolyn - LOL*** You are funny :) I think next year I'll do that spring/fall thing! Thanks for easing my worry a little! :) |
Half of my echinacea are doing terribly. The plants are wilting and most of the stems just come loose and break off in my hand. The plants are down to 1 or 2 stems. I guess it is root rot. We are having the rainiest June on record. Is there anything I can do at this point to save them? |
- Posted by quilt_mommy (My Page) on Fri, Jun 26, 09 at 16:26
Just a little update - my ech's were very upset with me for moving them so late and in such hot weather...but I staked them up, along with the rud's and they are both budding. I removed some of the yellowed/brown leaves that were close to the bottom of the plants too. They aren't lush and healthy, but I think they'll make it through the season and I wouldn't be surprised if they come back as if nothing happened next year. :) Just thought I'd share! |
