The programs listed below demonstrate the Center's commitment to a wide range of approaches to the texts of the early modern period, with emphasis on, variously, historical context, critical theory, research skills, and interpretive models.
1986 Fall Semester Seminar
"Rhetoric and Discourse in Shakespeare"
Director: Patricia A. Parker (Victoria College, University of Toronto)
Denying the proposition that literature simply "reflects" the structure of the society in which it is produced, Dr. Laslett proposed some of the ways in which literature can be used as a resource for those seeking to reconstruct the past.

1997 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Peter Holland (Cambridge University) "Measuring Performance"
1998 Spring Seminar
"Shakespeare and Postmodernism" Director: Linda Charnes (Indiana University at Bloomington)
This seminar juxtaposed theory, method, film, and cultural studies to see what Shakespeare's plays can bring to a post-humanist, and perhaps even post-literary landscape, and vice versa. The seminar also explored early modern anticipations of postmodern political cultures in the Henriad and questioned the assumptions behind terms such as "modernity" and "postmodernity," working to formulate flexible and productively provisional definitions and applications of related terms such as "post-humanist," "post-liberal," and "posthistoricist" to the study of Shakespeare's texts.
1998 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Linda Charnes (Indiana University at Bloomington)
"The Hamlet Formerly Known as Prince"
1998-99 Mellon Weekend Seminars
"Shakespeare in an Age of Visual Culture"
Director: Bruce R. Smith (Georgetown University)
Visiting Faculty: Martin J. Irvine (Georgetown University), Stephen Orgel (Stanford University), Randall Nakayama (San Francisco State University), Lois Potter (University of Delaware), and Claire Farago (University of Colorado at Boulder).
This series of four weekend seminars, also supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, addressed the problems of interpretation that are met in the classroom when Shakespeare's texts are filtered through visual media that are defined by their own generic conventions and convey the values of cultural moments very different from Shakespeare's.
1999 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Harry Berger Jr. (University of California, Santa Cruz, emeritus) "Harrying the Stage: Theatre, Bad Conscience, and Other Skills of Offence in Henry V"
2000 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Margreta de Grazia (University of Pennsylvania) "The Latest Hamlet"
2001 Spring Seminar
"Shakespeare, Jewishness, and English Cultural Identity"
Director: James Shapiro (Columbia University)
With The Merchant of Venice as its focal point, this seminar explored the ways in which unresolved issues of conversion and intermarriage raised in Shakespeare's play recur in a range of early modern texts, challenging stable notions of English racial and national identity.
2001 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
James Shapiro (Columbia University) "Jessica's Daughters"
"Historicizing Shakespeare's Language: Social Discourse and Cultural Production"
Director: Lynne Magnusson (Queen's University)
Francis Meres' claimed that Shakespeare extended the resources and tapped the potential of the English language. This seminar explored the uses of that language and raised important questions about what a newly historicized engagement with the complex language of Shakespeare's plays and poetry would look like.
2002 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Katherine Duncan-Jones(University of Oxford) " Love and Death in Shakespeare's Poetry"
2003 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
John Guy (Cambridge University) "Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots"

This conference sought to answer the following questions: Under what conditions did Shakespeare's plays become an integral component of America's cultural literacy, its moral education, its civic formation? At what levels of instruction, for what socio-economic classes and ethnic groups, and playing what roles in American political, military, or social histories? What exemplary "Shakespeares" have American classrooms created, for what purposes, and at what cross-purposes? With what kinds of records may scholars tell what kinds of histories of the teaching of Shakespeare?
2007 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Barbara Mowat (Folger Shakespeare Library)
"The Founders and the Bard"
2008 Spring Seminar
"Shakespeare on Screen in Theory and Practice"
Directors: Katherine Rowe (Bryn Mawr) and Tom Cartelli (Muhlenberg College)
The seminar focused on several of the more cutting-edge developments in screen Shakespeare, welcoming a range of approaches to adaptation, exhibition, and reception. It sought opportunities to look back from this recent period of experimentation to the long history of Shakespeare on screen, inviting reflection on the place of audio-visual adaptations in academic and classroom practice.
2008 Annual Shakespeare's Birthday Lecture
Alan Stewart (Columbia University)
"How Shakespeare Made History"

This workshop, sponsored by the Center for Shakespeare Studies, was scheduled in conjunction with two Folger events: the production of The Famous History of the Life of King Henry VIII and the exhibition Vivat Rex! Commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the Accession of Henry VIII. Key themes of the workshop included important new work on the material culture of Henry's reign (especially artworks and dress), new perspectives on the Henrician Reformation, biographical studies of the king himself, and the impact on scholarship and teaching of modern media images of Henry and his royal court.

Gwen Reider and "The Situation"
This month's Race Profile provides a look at the Ski to Sea Race Team: The Situation (aka Team 254). Immediately after the race, Gwen Reider sent out this "news release" to fellow team members. Do you think they enjoyed the race?
"A Legendary Northwest Race Meets Eight Legendary Competitors"
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE---Bellingham, May 31, 2010 8pm
In a quintessential celebration of Memorial Day in the Pacific Northwest, eight intrepid adventurers embarked on a grueling, 90 mile journey, the Ski to Sea. This article chronicles The Situation, eight superfriends and their ride to top 405th status.
It all started some months ago, one winter night in Seattle when the ubiquitous red wine flowed. Canoe team member Erika "Blisters" Nohavec hatched a daring plan to take fellow local semi-celebrities and drop them into a Situation. Call it: Jersey Shores meets the Amazing Race. "Blisters" proudly unveiled the team's key to success, saying, "We were all definitely non-experts in our chosen fields." Preston "Mudpuddles" Tideman added, "We had a bold plan to avoid DQ'ing and to stick with one chip through the entire race."
After 4ish months of rigorous non-training, no-team-meetings, and zero preparation, these elitish eight traveled to Bellingham on a soggy Saturday afternoon. They may or may not have had hotel reservations for the correct dates.
The first and only team meeting ended with a definitive plan to get potato burritos and cadillac margaritas at Casa Que Pasa. It was a great plan. "I really think the potato burrito was the secret ingredient for our excellent 405th place finish," said runner Nicki "The Flash" Northcott.
The race day began with a leisurely 3:30am wake-up call for the Mountain Ladies and Malcolm "I just bought a bike last Saturday" Reider. With day light breaking, and "I just bought a bike last Saturday" dropped off at his anointed location, the Mountain Ladies arrived a Mt. Baker and put the truck firmly in park (this time). Cross country skier, Gwen "The Ringer" Reider, managed to stay mostly-upright long enough (despite the horrible strategy of starting behind people who had never skied before) to pass the chip off to Nicole "Uphill Slogger" Seaver with a respectable 200 somethingish place. Their transition awed other more "experienced" skiers who played human-dominoes with one another.
After a dry-heave, and surviving an uphill battle where others had to be given oxygen, "Uphill Slogger" cruised down the mountain for another sweet transition to "The Flash" who sped down 8 miles at record pace. "The Flash" handed off the chip to "I just bought a bike last Saturday," who enjoyed a pleasant ride through northwest forests and pastureland. He boldly passed nearly a dozen other competitors, most who had stopped to repair flat tires.
"Blisters" enthusiastically accepted the timing chip from "I just bought a bike last Saturday." She and Brian "Splash-Down" Northcott proceeded on a journey of self-discovery, the magic of downstream currents, and how to keep a canoe upright. This dynamic canoe duo successfully avoided underwater snags, whirlpools, and other river hazards to complete their downstream adventure without a dunking. This brother-sister team was greeted with love and Doritos by their teammates, but one: lonely Clint "The Anchor Man" Nohavec, who had at this point in time exhibited tremendous stamina, patiently parked in his kayak for five hours. They handed off the chip to "Mudpuddles" who got off to a clean start, launching himself headlong across rail road tracks and ankle deep mud. Mudpuddles comfortably cruised in to his transition to "The Anchor Man" three minutes ahead of the "early release" cut off.
"The Anchor Man" plunged head on into a sea that could best be described as angry. Not even Posidon himself could stop The Anchorman, full of the sheer grit and determination that encapsulated Team 254's resolve.
10 hours and 15 or so minutes later, the finish line bell was rung and Team 254 celebrated their PR with donuts and hugs and donuts. Truly, a legendary northwest race had met eight legendary competitors.

Figures - President Bush denies House GOP special session.
I doubt this will have any affect on the House GOP leaders who are continuing their efforts this week from the House floor, but it is somewhat disheartening. The White House claims that there is no point in calling Congress back into session for a bill that the Democrats won't allow an up-down vote on.
The White House is wrong.
The point would be to force televised debate on an issue and shine a light on Pelosi's roadblocking. The point would be to support conservatives in Congress when they need it most. The point would be to align this White House with conservatives and give a badly needed boost to sagging conservative confidence in the Republican Party. The point would be to gain momentum for drilling - just serious discussion about drilling has made oil prices drop slightly, putting us on the road to easing the deathgrip high gas prices have on the nation's economy.
We're fooling ourselves if we don't believe that gas prices have been one of the primary causes for economic worry. And as we enter hurricane season in full force, with tropical storms already aiming dead-on at platforms and refineries in the Gulf, we need to do everything possible to give relief before the worst befalls us once again.
Incidentally, John McCain supports bringing Congress back into session.
Best practices from Oregon. -Patrick
Rick Dancer, the Republican nominee for Oregon Secretary of State, has been chronicling his campaign travels across the state via web videos on his campaign site. As a down ballot race for an office most people have no clue about what they do, Dancer is using his web videos to tell people about Oregon, give them exposure to who he is, and weave in campaign issues.
Dancer is also playing to his strengths: He's a former, longtime news anchor/reporter from Eugene.
His opponent is a longtime Democratic politician, State Sen. Kate Brown, who is the Senate Majority Leader. As a blue state, most pundits and insiders think she has it locked up after winning a four-way Democratic primary. She seems to think this as well: she seems to be coasting, her website hasn't been updated since the Primary and Dancer has outraised her significantly since then.

WASHINGTON, July 30, 2008 - Today GOP Youth Convention.Org announced that Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and GOPAC Chair and former Md. Lt Governor Michael Steele will serve as Honorary Co-chairs of its campaign to bring young people to the GOP National Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"We are very excited that these outstanding leaders of the Republican Party will co-chair our campaign to bring a new generation of young leaders and volunteers to the GOP Convention in Minneapolis," said Namrata Idnani, a student co-chairman of the group.
In a special program over Labor Day weekend, GOP Youth Convention.Org will offer opportunities for young people from around the country to meet other young leaders, hear from and interact with elected officials, and learn how to be better grassroots organizers and political communicators. Other programs will extend throughout the week of the National Convention
"The new generation of leaders who join us in Minneapolis will experience a historic event: the nomination of John McCain for President of the United States," said Soren Dayton, Director of the GOP Youth Convention.
The group's education and training program will take place at Concordia University in Minneapolis, MN starting on Labor Day weekend and continuing throughout the week of the National Convention through Friday September 5th. An opening "welcome" party will take place at the Hard Rock cafe in Minneapolis during the evening on Friday, August 29. Other social events will continue throughout the Convention week.
Affordable accommodations are available for group participants.
For more information, interested individuals may call the group's office at (202) 544-7525, or visit our website at www.gopyouthconvention.org
Promoted and bumped. -Patrick
I've been involved with many facets of many different types of campaigns: local school board, city council, state legislature, statewide gubernatorial, congressional, ballot initiative, and in-state presidential organizations. When I occassionally speak at campaign management and organization seminars, I am often asked the question: what is the most important part of the campaign? That question is so hard to answer because (1) campaigns are short-term "fire-fighting" operations as much as they are long-term strategic organziations, and (2) each part of the campaign (or at least a good campaign) is interconnected.
Yes, most of the money that gets spent is on paid media, and some will say that because of this, fundraising is the most important facet. While I don't disagree, something that I focus a lot of my attention on is GOTV efforts, a low-cost and high-importance category that has to be planned from the very beginning of the campaign but is executed in the last 72 hours.
So here are a few items of interest that all deal with GOTV efforts:
Check out the pair on Gordon Smith. His campaign's new spot directly links him to Barack Obama in what is easily the most ballsy ad by a Senate incumbent so far this cycle. The ad fits neatly into the excellent air campaign Smith has been running and what's likely to be a wider trend among blue state Republicans of associating themselves with Obama or his message. Colorado GOP Senate nominee Bob Schaffer also joined in on the fun this week by parroting Obama's visuals and logo.
In response to convictions of former state legislators in Alaska, liberal organizations and labor unions have placed the "Clean Elections Act," Ballot Initiative #3, on the August 26th primary ballot, which would institute public funding for legislative campaigns. Taxpayers in Maine and Arizona, states which have recently approved public financing, are learning that their money, which could be going towards legitimate government priorities like infrastructure improvement and education, are instead financing partisan politics.
Public financing actually decreases competitiveness in elections, which decreases choice for voters in a democracy. Incumbents in Arizona were re-elected at a higher rate after public financing was enacted; the number of candidates fell from 247 to 195 according to the Goldwater Institute. Furthermore, public financing limits a challenger's ability to communicate with voters. By limiting the amount of money that can be spent in campaigns, it limits the amount of information that voters receive.
Voters in Oregon have a chance to prohibit public financing in November. Ballot Measure #25 would ban the use of public resources for political campaigns. Bill Sizemore, the initiative's sponsor, tried twice to pass similar measures within the last decade, only to be defeated by labor union money.
If voters want tackle corruption in government, they should look at South Dakota's Open and Clean Government Act, Initiated Measure #10. It would not only prohibit taxpayer funded campaigns and lobbying. It would also create "information on state contracts that would be available for review on a searchable website."
BOTTOM LINE: When it comes to solving corruption and lack of ethics in government, public financing of campaigns is the wrong answer; instead, the conservative movement should support policies that increase transparency in campaigns and in government.
Two days ago, I floated a theory about the awful string of special elections this spring. The specials in IL-14, LA-6, and MS-1 all followed Democratic primaries in those states, while the Democratic nominating contest was going on. Meanwhile, special elections in OH-5, MA-5, and IN-7, ending in mid-February, yielded results well within expectations with slight boomlets for the Republican candidates. All of these primaries occurred well before Democrats had been primed to vote in the Presidential primary in those states.
This theory is bolstered by this chart posted on Open Left a month back:
Forest, Meet Trees
"Over the past two hundred years, industrial civilization has been relentlessly undermining the Earth's chemistry, water cycles, atmosphere, soils, oceans and thermal balance. Plainly said, we have been shutting down the major life systems of our planet. Compounding the ecological crisis are decaying economies, ethnic and class conflict, and worldwide warfare."
--Bill Plotkin, The Wild Human," Shift Magazine, July-August 2008
Navel-gazing over which flavor of Republican is the authentic one, the correct one, or even the one most likely to win elections will not help the Republican cause, much less the nation or the world. I've read through a number of blog posts here and have yet to see one that addresses the actual challenges we face, both as a nation and a species. If Conservatism is to survive as a philosophy, the real question is how to apply basic Conservative principles to the multiple crises facing us, which are, at their root, environmental. Social, economic, and political structures can only exist in environments that support them. Any philosophy that cannot be applied to the business of living becomes a historical artifact.
Let's pick a random example: The approaching collapse of global fisheries. You may remember the collapse of the California salmon fishery a few months back. (Here in the Pacific Northwest, at least, it made headlines.) I mentioned it to a conservative of my acquaintance, and he blamed sea lions. Well, sea lions have been eating salmon for hundreds of thousands of years without destroying them, so let's take a look at the human side of the problem, the part documented by studies of the actual fisheries: ag and industrial runoff, dams, and overfishing. The standard Republican solution? Individual freedom and a free market, with plenty of competition. In other words, more of the same that created this crisis. Personal responsibility apparently applies only to individuals' sex lives, not their economic lives.
What would an principled conservative alternative to government regulation of fisheries, look like? Could it possibly have something to do with the conservative principle of self-restraint? After all, salmon fishermen would seem to have a vested interest in the preservation of salmon. Would a group composed of members of that industry be able to maintain and enforce limits? In such a group, would the interests of small fishermen be represented, or would it, like most industry groups, eventually become dominated by the biggest and best-connected?
This might be a useful topic of debate on this site, and could be applied to the issues of climate change, pollution, energy generation, anything. So far, the Republican response to environmental issues seems to vacillate between, "What problem?" and "It wouldn't be a problem if it was legal. Damn liberals."
A major reason that the public is turning away from the Republican Party is the perception that Republicans will always vote for short-term profits for corporate stakeholders with the risks outsourced to the general public. Then, for example, when cancer rates rise due to toxic waste from industry, conservatives demonize liberals for wanting to broaden access to health care. The current public perception of Republicans, particularly Bush-style Republicans, is that they will not vote for anything that would genuinely benefit all or most people, but only what benefits themselves and those who fill their campaign coffers. Increasing numbers of people are driven away by this "heads I win, tails you lose" approach to governance, as well they should. Could the concept of personal responsibility be applied to corporations? How would that work without the force of law behind it, particularly when dealing with corporations that are economically larger than small nations?
Or consider this postulate to the Conservative belief in the sanctity of life and the right to private property: Damage to the environment is, at its root, a public health issue, and a theft from individuals in the form of reduced earnings and increased expenses due to ill health and premature death.
Paul Hawkin, Amory Lovins, and Hunter Lovins, in their book Natural Capitalism, point out that natural systems (carbon/oxygen cycle, hydrologic cycle, etc.) operate free of charge. Damage to these systems is not factored into the cost of goods, meaning that normal accounting procedures ignore them while we all pay the price in diminished resource base, a degraded environment, and consequent ill health. This book-cooking is the basis of classical economics and makes the Enron scandal look like cheating on a third grade math test.
If Conservatism could remember it has a common root with Conservation, acknowledge that environmental problems do exist, and contribute something to the debate other than foot dragging and obfuscation, it just might survive.

USDOT Moves Forward on 'Multi-Modal' Vision
Yesterday, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Ray LaHood, announced the 51 projects—a mix of highways to boulevards projects, complete streets initiatives, streetcars and light-rail projects, and innovative highway funding—that will receive federal funding from the TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) program, which was funded by $1.5 billion included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). According to Sec. LaHood, awards went to "projects that create jobs, stimulate economic activity, and help develop livable communities."
USDOT continues to affirm its commitment to fund innovative transportation projects that focus on multi-modal transport, reducing greenhouse gases and creating livable communities; simultaneously addressing economic, environmental and travel issues.
In particular, the Chicago region is poised to benefit greatly from a $100 million investment into the CREATE (Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency) program.
CREATE's package of 78 projects, designed by the City of Chicago, IDOT, Metra, AMTRAK and the freight railroads serving Chicago, aim to unsnarl the bottlenecks in the region's railroad system—a major U.S. hub that handles nearly 1300 freight and passenger trains every day. Rail moves people and freight through the region with the least negative environmental impact, and hundreds of thousands of Chicago area jobs depend directly or indirectly on rail transportation.
The south suburban communities—Blue Island, Harvey, Dixmoor, Dolton, Riverdale—that CNT has been working with to redevelop by building homes, retail and office businesses around their rail assets will see the benefits of additional capacity and improved connections of the region's rail traffic. These include communities that are building homes, stores and offices around their train stations in transit oriented development (TOD), and communities revitalizing industrial parks with the added value of good access to freight rail in cargo oriented development (COD).
The types of projects through the TIGER program show that the USDOT has recognized the return from funding transit. CNT's second analysis of the jobs created from the ARRA shows that investments in public transportation projects have created almost twice as many jobs per dollar as investments in highways–and the advantage is growing. Through these TIGER grants, we are witnessing a Department of Transportation that not only considers how to move people and goods around, but how to create jobs, stimulate economic development, reduce environmental impact—with its sights set on innovation. This gives added meaning to 'multi-modal'!
CNT is also pleased that Tucson, Arizona is receiving TIGER funding for a modern streetcar line that will connect the city's major activity centers, a step toward lowering residents' household transportation costs. Our 2009 report on the "Housing + Transportation Affordability in the Tucson Metro Area" provided data the City of Tuscon and Pima County are utilizing to help plan future transit development and make the case for the economic benefits it would generate.

After school fight leads to arrests
Two teenage girls and the father of another teen were arrested Wednesday afternoon as police broke up a brawl that began when students from Gary New Tech High School alighted from their bus at 47th Avenue and Harrison Street.
Tonie Vance, 18, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement as she allegedly first interfered with police who tried to get the crowd under control.
Leticia Starks was arrested after patrolman James Sheets saw her grab another girl by the hair and try to hit her.
Joseph Hill, 34, arrived and stopped his car in the middle of the road. Lt. Samuel Roberts and Patrolman Calvin Taylor told him to move his car, but he said he was there to locate suspects who attacked his daughter.
When Hill did start driving, Roberts heard a threat from an occupant of the car and stopped Hill east of Harrison Street.
Hill moved from Illinois more than 60 days ago and had an expired driver's license. He became irate and argumentative and was arrested for driving without a license and three traffic violations.
Felon who ran from police arrested
A convicted felon who allegedly ran from police Wednesday was arrested when officers recovered a semiautomatic handgun dropped during the chase.
Deron Moten, 23, was standing in a group of men about 2:30 p.m. when Crime Suppression Unit Cpl. Javier Garza and Patrolman Justin Clark arrived to check reports of a possible fight involving weapons at Dorie Miller Housing Development.
One man saw officers and ran, prompting the officers to chase him.
Garza saw the man drop an item in a garbage can and recovered a loaded handgun. Moten has a prior conviction for possession of cocaine. He faces charges of resisting law enforcement and being a felon in possession of a handgun.

Saturday evening, our local parish hosted a panel discussion about religious liberty in the current crisis. Taking inspiration from Archbishop Chaput's book, Render Unto Caesar, three panelists addressed the question, then engaged the audience in a lively Q&A, which could have gone on much longer if time had allowed. Feel free to continue it in the comments below. It's hard to think of a more important and timely issue.
Click on the names below to listen to the audio.
Peter Colosi (left), Assistant Professor of Moral Theology at St. Charles Borromeo seminary
Mark Henrie (middle), Senior Vice President and Chief Academic Officer at Intercollegiate Studies Institute
Katie van Schaijik (right), Co-founder of the Personalist Project
Around 5'40", Colosi stated that pro-choice advocates reject moral absolutism. Though he later modified his comments to say that this is the former position of the abortion lobby, I don't think it accurately presents normative arguments, past or present, of people who favor legal access to abortion. They might, for instance believe either:
Now, if someone accepts the Catholic position that all human beings are equally precious and worthy of protection from the moment of conception to their natural deaths, then either of these positions becomes impossible to square withobjective/absolute morals. But, again, that presumes one accepts Catholic premises on this; almost definitionally, however, someone who is pro-choice does not.
I would be curious to hear Colosi address those -- like me -- who 1) Believe that an absolute morality exists, but dissent from the Catholic understanding on this particular issue and who 2) Beleive it is wrong for the government to force Catholics to pay for abortions or contraceptives.
#1 - Oct. 22 at 6:00pm | quote
Thanks for commenting, Tom.
As I read the Catholic position, it's not that all human beings are equally precious and worthy of protection; it's rather that all human beings are objectively precious and worthy of protection.
The distinction is important, because there are ways in which we can legitimately speak of one person being more precious than another. For instance, a close friend is more precious to me than a complete stranger. Also, one person who, through his own free choices acqurire great moral beauty is in one sense (not ontologically!), more precious than someone who become vicious and destructive.
#2 - Oct. 22 at 7:18pm | quote
I don't know how Colosi would respond, but to me it seems that absolute morality is grounded in the dignity of persons. Persons may never be used as mere means to an end. If that is the case, and if human beings are persons from conception on, then it follows (does it not?) that all abortions are wrong, and that the state should forbid them.
I know you don't agree with me. Is there something in the above that you think is false? If so, on what do you think absolute morality is grounded?
#3 - Oct. 22 at 11:05pm | quote
I hesitate to ask. Why is it that, so often, abortion is spoken of in terms of morality?
In affirming "abortion is immoral," I predicate the immorality of the act and indirectly of the person who performs the act.
I make an entirely new statement when I say (with the Church) "abortion is an injustice in the strict sense of the term."
A solitary immoral act - such as drunkenness or impurity - in the privacy of a closet, is immoral, but it is not an injustice towards another human person. It is a victimless act.
An abortion is never solitary, even in the privacy of a closet or WC. It has a victim. Significantly the Church systematically uses the word, "crime:" heinous crime, unspeakable crime. I just haven't found "immoral" predicated of abortion by Church documents.
What's the difference? Can we use force to impose morality? If so, the "privacy" of a closet or bedroom is no argument against the state. Can we use force to impose justice? If so, then the "privacy" of a closet, a bedroom or a free decision does not trump the right to life.
#4 - Oct. 23 at 4:56pm | quote
An abortion is never solitary, even in the privacy of a closet or WC. It has a victim. Significantly the Church systematically uses the word, "crime:" heinous crime, unspeakable crime. I just haven't found "immoral" predicated of abortion by Church documents.
Damian, I agree with your position, if I understand it rightly. I mean, I agree that the proper concern of the state is with justice.
But I am wondering whether you would agree that all acts of injustice are ipso facto also immoral? Or am I confused about something?
#5 - Oct. 24 at 3:05pm | quote
Katie van Schaijik, Oct. 24 at 3:05pm
I agree. But my point goes in a different direction which is indicated, if I am not msitaken, also by St. Thomas' position that "not all of morality [i.e., moral law] is to be legislated." What could be legislated were those things that hurt others, such as murder, theft, etc. This reference was used by Mario Cuomo to chide Catholics who wanted legislation against "sins" (abortion) they themselves were not able to avoid.
Because an injustice is ipso facto an immorality, it does not follow that every immorality is ipso facto an injustice against another human being. The reason murder is immoral is because it is first an injustice to others. Public drunkenness or private fornication are immoral before and part from any unjust consequences for others, namely, apart from any extrinsic "evil" effects of the act.
Keeping with the difference between the interior and exterior dimension of personal existence, the "external" implications of unjust acts allow for a use of force which the "internal" status of the moral quality precludes.

text: In 2000's The Dress Lodger, Holman was as seductive as a siren with her brutal, bleak tale of a desperate woman in 19th-century England. Here, Holman goes modern and folksy, although she's still following desperate women: Margaret, a struggling Virginia farm owner (and maker of the titular cheese); Polly, Margaret's rebellious teenage daughter; and their neighbor Manda, who, thanks to the wonders of fertility drugs, gives birth to 11 children. It basically adds up to things-can-get-tough-but-ain't-life-grand -- a disappointment from a writer too gifted to settle for merely warming our hearts. With Cheese, Holman has dulled her edges so that there's nothing to snag the reader.

Also in this section: Casco Viejo renovation project Landfill removal Mireya retains control, changes party name Panama News Briefs
Plaza Bolivar, with the San Francisco de Asis Church in the background. Photo by Eric Jackson
by Eric Jackson
On January 21 in the ornate upstairs salon at the Teatro Nacional the Office of the Casco Viejo unveiled the Torrijos administrations master plan for the capitals second colonial-era city center. The session was attended by three cabinet members and a deputy minister, the mayor, church, business and arts scene leaders, diplomats, the tourism police, urban planning experts, some suspicious local residents and representatives of the most of the nations news media. The presentation, however, was mainly given by architect Ariel Espino, who works for the Office of the Casco Viejo. Espino emphasized that this is not an idea, but an action plan. Really, its a fact, and its also a call for broad community participation that would result in a sustainable, irreversible recovery for the neighborhood. The architect noted that in the wake of Henry Morgans devastating raid on Panama Viejo, the new city was moved several miles to the west to a more easily defended point, and what had been a 50-hectare center where church and government institutions were located and the most wealthy and powerful families on the isthmus resided was squeezed into a 16-hectare redoubt. Thus the narrow streets and multi-story row houses. But almost none of the Casco Viejo buildings date back to colonial times. Thats because the neighborhoods first Spanish buildings were almost all made out of wood, and three devastating fires swept through the area in 1737, 1756 and 1781. The first of these great fires consumed almost the entire area, and major portions of what was rebuilt were again destroyed in the subsequent conflagrations. (One of the few surviving colonial-era houses, the Casa Gongora, is now owned by the city and used as a cultural center.) By the time that Panama declared its independence from Spain in 1821, the Casco Viejo was mostly deserted. Then, Espino explained, there was an urban revival, based upon the lot lines inherited from earlier times and at first featuring buildings with elements of the Spanish colonial but using more brick, stone and modern materials like wrought iron balcony grilles imported from New Orleans. (The interiors, however, still tended to be wooden.) As the 19th century progressed the area began to see neoclassical and neo-colonial architecture, and in the 20th century it acquired some art deco buildings. Meanwhile, after the old colonial wall was torn down the area began a slow transition down the economic scale, as rich people moved away to less crowded neighborhoods and the poor moved in. Now most of the people who live in the Casco Viejo are renters, and a fair number of residents are destitute, having been moved to government-owned buildings in the area by the Housing Ministry (MIVI) after the wooden slums where they had been living in Santa Ana or El Chorrillo burned down or collapsed. In the 2000 census San Felipe, the corregimiento that almost exactly corresponds to the Casco Viejo, was the only city ward to lose population, down to 6,928 residents from 10,282 in the 1990 census. Why the population loss? A lot of it came about after the Pérez Balladares administration passed a law to encourage the rehabilitation of the areas buildings, which made it easier for property owners to evict tenants in order to renovate the properties. What happened was that speculators threw the tenants out and did nothing to improve the properties, figuring that they would more easily get top dollar from theoretical urban gentrifiers for buildings without tenants. Some of these speculators went a few steps farther, gutting the building interiors to leave empty shells with for sale signs. Today, Espino said, six percent of the neighborhoods buildings have been restored, another three percent are in the process of being restored and nine percent are in ruins. This, despite generous tax breaks for restoration work. This is unacceptable, Espino said, warning that there are laws about the abandonment of urban properties and that the current administration will enforce them. Given that historical backdrop and warning of consequences that could come to certain individuals, he outlined the plan. First there will be infrastructure improvements. Already underway is the recovery of a parking lot next to the Teatro Nacional, which was originally designated for visitors to the area but over the years was taken over by the cars of people who work in government offices. That lot is being resurfaced and converted back to its original purpose. The citys public market will be relocated and the present structure razed to make way for some more parking spaces. The old electric plant site will also be converted into parking. There are studies underway about the feasibility of underground parking in the area, perhaps under the plazas. Vehicular access to and egress from the area is to be improved, first by measures to ease congestion on Avenida B and then by extending the Avenida de las Poetas into a traffic link between Amador and the Casco Viejo. There will also be studies about pedestrian and public transportation possibilities, including the possible revival of the old trolley cars. Despite being the locus of the presidential palace, Casco Viejos utility infrastructures are inferior to those of many other parts of the city. The Torrijos administration intends to modernize and augment the neighborhoods electrical grid, and put all the electrical, telephone, cable TV and Internet lines underground. There will be an increase in police presence, and talks are ongoing among the various law enforcement agencies (remember, because of the presidential palace there is already a major concentration of the Institutional Protection Service, or SPI, in the area), private security guard agencies and various establishments to evaluate special policing needs. One of the things thats being considered is specific police protection that would allow some of the areas ornate churches which now remain mostly locked for security reasons to be more frequently open to visitors. On the building rehabilitation front, there will not only be a continuation incentives for private investment and a crackdown on speculators abuses. MIVI has a schedule for fixing up the several properties it owns in the area, and work is already underway. Housing Minister Balbina Herrera was present and explained that people have to move out for the buildings to be fixed. This will be good news for some and bad news for others, because those who are moved out will not automatically get to move back in once the work is done. A lot of the people who were moved to the neighborhood after disasters claimed their old homes werent paying rent before they moved to the area and arent paying rent now, and Herrera said that those who cant pay rent will not get MIVI housing in the Casco Viejo. She explained that the rehabilitation plans call for a number of different apartments at various prices, and that among those who can demonstrate an ability to pay the rent families with children will get first priority and senior citizens who have lived in the Casco Viejo for a long time will be next on the list. The governments plan is also to attract non-profit organizations to add to its efforts to provide affordable housing for the area. There will be an effort to promote tourism, but as Espino put it, tourism that fits into a traditional neighborhood, not a dead backdrop for tourists. That will include the rehabilitation of the mostly ruined Convento Santo Domingo, including the restoration of its collapsed Flat Arch and its conversion into a space for open-air events, the construction of five artisans shops and a restaurant, and improvements to the Museum of Religious Art. The ruined Compañia de Jesus Church, which is also the site of Panamas first synagogue, will be converted into an orchid museum and a small museum dedicated to the history of the Jesuit order and the Jewish community in Panama. The Las Bovedas and Casa del Soldado area will get new and improved stores, restaurants and art galleries. The downstairs of the INAC building will be restored and opened to the public, and the Teatro Anita Villalaz will be refurbished. Government offices that take up much of this areas building space will be moved elsewhere. Maybe the most ambitious part of the plan to develop Casco Viejo tourism is an annual three-day festival, to take place every May. There will also be programs to train local residents as tour guides, new bilingual promotional materials and a makeover for the Casco Viejo website. The questions from the audience represented moods ranging from skepticism based on unkept promises by previous administrations to great enthusiasm. The answers from the various public officials on hand seemed to reassure most of the hard questioners. Tourism director Rubén Blades noted that the Avenida de las Poetas extension would create a tourism circuit along which Amador, the Barrio Chino and the Casco Viejo would be linked in a holistic effort to bring tourists in a way that benefits people and businesses in the affected neighborhoods. A representative of the Ministry of Government and Justice said that in addition to increased police patrols and coordination among agencies, some particularly sensitive parts of the Casco Viejo may be watched by remote video cameras. Balbina Herrera said shed be glad to meet with the San Felipe Residents Association, whose members fear that they could be displaced. As one urban designer in the audience pointed out, there have been efforts to revive the Casco Viejo, some mere talk, some which included legislation and specific works, since at least the early 1970s. But this time it all seems less theoretical (fewer presumptions about what market incentives might accomplish) and more pragmatic (more specific and less grandiose plans for government actions). If any substantial portion of the plan that the Office of the Casco Viejo outlined comes to pass, then the cultural scene that has been growing in the area would be greatly advanced.

Composition Studies, Heteronormativity, and Popular Culture
Introduction | Cultural Studies | Friends One | Friends Two | Will and Grace | Conclusion | Works Cited
While much progress has been made toward representation of glbtq people in composition and in popular culture, we still need to encourage our students to look beyond the traditional categories of straight and gay, male and female. A queer response would be to focus on the incoherence, constructed nature, and fluidity of gender identity itself. Such a response moves us toward interrogation and critical thinking. Of course, much of what I've discussed in this essay exists at the level of connotation, and connotation, writes D. A. Miller, is notoriously unstable: "To refuse the evidence for a merely connoted meaning is as simpleand as frequentas uttering the words 'But isn't it just . . . ?' before retorting the denotation" (118). And such is, of course, what many students, and many people in the field of composition and rhetoric, are likely to retort. This is the difficulty inherent in any discussion of lesbian and gay representation in popular culture. In a culture that still insists, in large part, that lesbians and gay men not identify themselves at risk of physical violence, much of lesbian and gay representation in popular culture will be coded to be recognized only by the marginalized group. Such coding can be demonstrated in this ad:
While nothing can prove inconclusively that the homoerotic subtext of Friends exists, it is also true that nothing can prove inconclusively the homoerotic subtext of the Abercrombie and Fitch advertisements. The producers of the ads deny it; what more is there to say?

Fable: The Chip TI Management Didn't Like
34 years ago an engineer at TI made a 256-bit MOS RAM.
TI management didn't like it.
TI management thought that thin-film memory was a better competitor to magnetic cores, and they didn't like MOS. TI was very much a bipolar house.
So the engineer who made the MOS memory founded a company which, in the late 70s achieved 85% market share in DRAM before being sold for $345 million in 1979.
Moral: Where there's a will there's a way.

Memories of Casa de Campo: Walking to Boca Chavon, Where the River Meets the Sea.
In this week's 'Memories of Casa de Campo' post Carol recalls the charming walk from Altos de Chavon to the sea, along paths and past sights little explored in Casa de Campo.
We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea. ~ Paul Tillich
Twenty years or so ago when I lived in Altos de Chavon, we often walked along the hidden unpaved roads from Altos de Chavon down to Punta Minitas and on to the beach where the Chavon river enters the sea.
It was a long walk, but an interesting one. From the heights of Chavon down to the mouth of the river one passes through all kinds of mini-landscapes: forests, plains, and coastal.
The path from Altos that we followed ended near a guard's post. Sometimes the guard asked us if we had brought him any cigarettes.
I used to tell him cigarettes were bad for his health, but he paid no attention.
Guard Post at the Minitas to Altos Road
From the end of the Punta Minitas road there was a little path that went down to Chavon beach.
Daisy on the path to Chavon Beach
We always paused to admire the thatched-roof villa hidden away at the east end of Calle Punta Minitas.
At the other end of the Chavon beach was the Chavon River, and across the river you could see the village of Boca Chavon.
Village of Boca Chavon – a house on the point
There were always many things going on across the river. People fished from the rocks on the point, and walked along the river path to the landing where boats would take them to the other side.

Fishermen in small boats were everywhere at this meeting point of river and sea.
The fishermen discarded extra fish on the sand at the point. Daisy loved this part of the walk because she liked to eat the little fish.

In this photo, beyond the fisherman throwing the net, there is a view of a popular restaurant where people from Casa de Campo sometimes had dinner.

Five recommendations from the first fanfiction challenge thread
It's been fascinating to read the responses. Many feature similar themes and ideas, but there is endless variation on the theme. As I did a few weeks ago with the forum at large, I've picked five of my favorite stories from the thread and listed them below. There are many more than these that deserve attention, but time is short and I am but one person. Please feel free to comment with some of your own favorites, as well!

(Boston, MA-September 9, 2010) - The Patrick-Murray Administration today introduced another online convenience that will make it easier for Massachusetts drivers to go online for MassDOT RMV services and avoid waiting in line at branches. Customers of www.massrmv.com can now pay by electronic check to renew their license, order a duplicate license or MA ID, order a driving record or crash report and pay for a road test exam.
"This newest feature on our website means a sizeable population of our customers will no longer be forced to visit a branch for these registry services because they don't have a credit card," said MassDOT Registrar Rachel Kaprielian. "The new payment option is secure and as easy as writing a check."
Customers will only need to enter their checking account and bank routing numbers to complete the e-check transaction on www.massrmv.com. The feature is expected to be especially useful for drivers who often wait until their license has expired and believe they have to go to a branch to renew. E-mail confirmations of online payments can also serve as proof they have renewed their license in case they are stopped for a motor vehicle violation.
Go Online Instead of Waiting in Line-Electronic checks is just one of more than a dozen new services added to the MassDOT RMV website in the last two years increasing customer transaction traffic by 40%. In addition to renewing a license or registration, customers can also complete all license paperwork online and make an appointment to complete the application in a branch as well as register to be an organ tissue donor, book a road test and sign up for a free reminder service.

It contains specific herbs and nutrients shown in studies to help the heart maintain its functional and structural integrity. Heart Cleanse is formulated with taurine, L-carnitine, hawthorn extract, red grape skin extract, gugulipid extract, coenzyme Q 10 and astaxanthin.
Heart Cleanse is the sixth of 8 products in the Total Body Cleanse System, which targets the colon, liver, blood, heart, adrenal, joint and prostate. Maintain optimum health with Heart Cleanse and the other Total Body Cleanses.
Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble nutrient that occurs naturally in the human body and is essential for helping to produce energy on the cellular level. The heart relies on CoQ10 to produce energy the heart utilizes more cellular energy than any other organ. Clinical studies have revealed CoQ10 deficiencies in the heart tissues of people with heart problems. In addition, CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals that damage cells. As the body ages, its ability to naturally produce CoQ10 decreases.
Guggulipid/guggul is a purified extract from the Indian medicinal plant Commiophora mukul. Studies have shown that guggul can help significantly lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides. Guggul works in the liver by increasing the metabolism of low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol).
Hawthorne Extract has been used in traditional medicine for irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pain, and other cardiovascular ailments. Studies have shown benefit with hawthorn to patients with heart failure, and in cases of angina. Hawthorne extract may be helpful in promoting healthy cholesterol levels and protecting against the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. In clinical studies, the flavonoids in hawthorn extract were shown to decrease the constriction of coronary vessels which may enhance the smooth flow of blood into the arteries.
L-Carnitine is known to assist in fat metabolism. L-carnitine regulates fatty build up in the arteries by promoting healthy fat and cholesterol levels in the blood. L-carnitine has been used for the treatment of various forms of cardiovascular disease.
Taurine is found in heart muscle, and this amino acid has been shown to help regulate the heartbeat as well as control cholesterol levels in the blood.
Red Grape Skin An excellent source of polyphenols (anthocyanins, leucoanthocyanins). Polyphenols form pigments of the deep red and blue in various fruits and wines. Studies have shown these polyphenols help promote cardiovascular health. Polyphenols in red grape skin protect the cardiovascular system and function as antioxidants. Their strong antioxidant properties inhibit oxidation of "bad" cholesterol called low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL may be largely responsible for the build-up of arterial plaque. Red grape skin polyhenols may exhibit stronger antioxidant activity in neutralizing free radicals in the body than beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E.
Supplement Facts:
As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules two times daily. Use one bottle every 3 months as part of your total body cleansing regimen. Store in a cool dry place.

'Veronica Mars' Featurette: A Long Time Ago, They Used to Be Friends
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on October 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIt's been ten years since Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) was the pluckiest crime-solver in Neptune, but that doesn't mean that the former teen detective can resist the allure of one more major case – especially when it involves her ex-love Logan Echolls.
A new featurette goes behind the scenes of Rob Thomas' infamously Kickstarted film, giving us the scoop on the important aspects of Veronica Mars, like who she should ultimately end up with: Logan (Jason Dohring) or Piz (Chris Lowell)? You would think that ten years later this debate would finally be over, especially when Veronica is shacked up with Piz in New York City, but things get weird when you visit your hometown.
Also, there's the little detail that Logan is accused of murder, Veronica's reason for getting back into the detective biz in the first place. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was framed, but maybe all of these very enthusiastic actors should step off the "I heart Logan + Veronica" bandwagon for just a bit while she gathers evidence. Check out the Veronica Mars: Love Triangle Featurette here:
There's no release date at this time, but expect more Veronica Mars in your life sometime in 2014.

Carol did this one with Nature Illusion, what did you think of the programme.
Follow-Up Postings:
Hazel that turned out beautiful. Here is one I just put together. Haven't really gotten the hang of it yet. It seems rather jumpy. But with the two times I worked with it I so far prefer Sqirlz. Maybe if I play around with it more. I still do not get why it won't play the .wav sound. It gives me the option and when I click on it to preview it is there. |
This is the one I did about a week ago. |
Hello Carol, if you have only used the programme twice, and produced such beautiful results, you have done really well. I think this programme is easier to use and produces better results. I have spoken to the company re: not being able to use the objects and music in Gif files, they inform me they are working on it. For the sound effects you need to use PCM format, they say you can use sound recorder to convert (whatever that is). I downloaded a free trial of the Switch converter programme, used it and it worked. Hazel |
Thank you Hazel. But don't you agree with the jumpiness? I must be doing something wrong. And what in the world is PCM format? Never heard of it. Carol |
Did you cull the frames to keep to a smaller size? when I do that I get the jumpiness. Glad to know I am not the only idiot on the planet, I haven't got a clue what PCM format is, all I know is, when I convert from wav to PCM, it works. Hazel |
No I didn't, in fact it gives you option of saving it as a small, med., or custom file. I saved it at the size of the jpeg. You don't have sound with the above do you? If so I can't hear it. Carol |

Hello again! So I have yet another leaf drop question for the forum, I think this brings the total to 100000 posts on the subject! This is more an observation than anything else. I recently moved my meyer )which I got as a christmas present this year) from an ESE facing window to one facing true south. About a month before that point I had purchased a 5000 lumen, full spectrum CFL and had it cranking about 6" above the plant. Very little leaf drop till I moved it to the south facing window. Now the leaves lowest and closest to the trunk are falling off. I'm not really concerned, there's actualy new growth and buds all over the tree and it seems happy in the 5-1-1 mix I have it sitting in, and i'm trickling in 1/4 tsp foliage pro every watering (about every 10 days right now, using a moisture meter AND the dowel method to confirm). I'm just not sure if its common for the lowest leaves by the trunk to be the most succeptable to WLD, or if its trying to tell me something else. Most of the leaves look fairly healthy when they drop, but I'm noticing the deep green, bigger leaves seem to be anchored on better. Only question for everyone here would be, do you think I should pull the CFL light now? I'm honestly not sure how much its doing for the plant, but I'm not seeing much harm in keeping it on the tree, unless it could be the culprit. My room hovers between 60 and 68 F (rarely gets above or below that). As always, thanks for the help, folks! |

Well, a photo is always helpful, but I suspect it is just a factor of moving the Meyer Lemon, which is rather sensitive to changes in light, good or bad. If you're seeing new flush at those nodes, or elsewhere, I wouldn't worry about it. Older leaves drop as a normal course of events for citrus trees. My only concern about the CFL lights is to make sure it is high enough above your tree so it doesn't burn the closest leaves. But, I'm not an indoor container expert by any stretch. Hopefully some of our more experienced indoor citrus folks will comment. Add some photos which will help to stimulate some feedback. Patty S. |

Hi Patty! Thanks, I've been digging out of 2+ feet of snow here :( I'll get some pictures posted once I get a few seconds. I did some research before getting the CFL, most experts on the "Growing Under Lights" forum say you need at least 5000 lumens to have any effect, but since mine is only supplimenting natural light, it seems pretty effective. Also, they spell out safe distance from the light, and most people say 6-12" is more than enough and its not very effective beyond that range. The leaves closest to the lamp actually seem to be doing the best. They're very full, deep green color and show little sign of stress. Then changing of the environment situation makes sense to me. It gets a good amount of light now that its on the south side of my house, although its still weak at this time of year. I'm using the gauge of new growth and buds as an indicator that overall it was the right decision, could it be shedding some leaves to divert energy to the growth? I can't wait for spring. This snow and short days are killing me. I'll get some pics soon. Thanks!!! |

Hello Again, Took some pictures of the tree. This picture shows where i have the CFL positioned relative to the tree. Tough to tell but there is about 6" between the closest leaves and the bulb. I'll post another follow-up with some other pictures. |

Here's the problem I'm seeing up close. 2 leaves right next to each other, one is deep green, the next closest to the trunk is developing chlorosis and will probably slough off in the next few days. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 19:19
I think your tree needs more fertilizer as the new upper leaves are stealing Nitrogen from your lower older leaves. You are keeping your trees in extreme growth mode with that much artificial and natural light with that kind of warmth which calls for more nutrients. I think your trees over all looks terrific and in fact nice and green! You are doing great with the 5.1.1 mix and the Foliage Pro... Great job and I am so happy to see such beautiful trees grown in just about the same fashion as I do. Just don't be afraid to up your fertilizer to about 1/2 teaspoon at every watering since you are only fertilizing once every other week since you said you only water once every two weeks. Mike |
- Posted by baconquest MA (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 19:46
Thanks Mike!! I was wondering that about the fertilization... I'll double up on my next few waterings to see how it reacts. These days I'm hardly watering it at all it seems, on account of the cool indoor conditions. My water is definitely basic. The Worcester water report shows an average pH of almost 8, so starting with my last feeding I threw a capful of vinegar into my watering can. I have to say its very encouraging hearing such kind words from someone who's trees look as good as yours!! I am a complete newbie when it comes to container gardening in general, so I'm just glad following the advice of yourself and the other experts on this forum is paying off. On a side note how did you make out in the storm? I got trapped in New Haven for the weekend waiting for the plows to come. Over 3' of snow there. It was incredible. Thanks!!!!! -Mike B |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 13 at 8:47
Mike.. You are very welcome and thanks for your comments! Yes, I did make it and now you would not even know it was that bad, right? The snow has melted so much since then but boy was I buried at that time! I could not get out of my house and had to shovel 4 feet off my flat roof. It's great to see you using vinegar. You should notice a remarkable difference in the over all vigor of your trees. Yes, I would say I can tell you are feeding yours well and that tree has much vivid green in it, what I look for in mine. Great job! When the spring is in full swing and the days longer, it will be looking for more nutrients than what you are already supplying, so be prepared for that. Mike:-) |
