LOS ANGELES, April 17, 2013 — Amid conflicting reports of an arrest in the Boston Marathon bombing, the FBI is still unable or unwilling to say whether this act of terrorism was domestic or foreign. The pair of bombs set off at the Boston Marathon killed three people and wounded over 170 more. President Obama called it an act of terrorism, but noting the lack of information at this time, did not specify who the terrorists were.
While Obama said that we should not jump to conclusions, within hours the internet was abuzz with conclusions blaming everyone from radical Islamists to radical tea partyers. Obama was the "good cop" to the "bad cops" in the liberal media, who were quick to speculate that this was a tax-day protest by tea party extremists. MSNBC and CNN happily offered wild speculation about people attending peaceful anti-tax day rallies across the country, and Hollywood intellectual Jay Mohr drew a link between the bombing and the Second Amendment, which he says "must go."
It would be as incorrect to assume that Islamists did it as to assume that tea partyers did, but if we were playing a game of odds and looking at their histories, which would be more likely? More to the point, why is it politically acceptable to speculate that this was an anti-tax protest and imply that right wingers did it, while the main-stream press are falling all over themselves to avoid unwarranted speculation about Islamist involvement? Is it, as Salon writer David Sirota claims, that white privilege comes into play, and the press is simply anxious to avoid defaming a group that isn't insulated by privilege, hence needs greater protection from free speech?
Consider the argument for assuming Islamic terrorism: Since 9/11, Islamists have been searching for an encore to Osama Bin Laden's 2001 horror show. While 9/11 gets significant attention, radical Islam has probably been responsible for more of the west's terrorist attacks since the 1970s than any other group. (There's some subjectivity there; some people would call Columbine and Newtown terrorist, and some terrorists get promoted to "freedom fighter.") Some would argue that virulent strains of Islam have existed over the entire 1,400 years that Islam itself has been around.
Most recent major terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe have been motivated by radical Islam, from Shoe Bomber Richard Reid to the Fort Hood shooter.
When liberals caution Americans against a "rush to judgment," what they seem to be saying is "don't blame Muslims." Sirota fervently hopes that the bomber is a white American, and would probably add "Christian," if asked. According to writer Tim Wise:
SEE RELATED: Boston bombings: In the face of tragedy, Americans can find goodness
"White privilege is knowing that even if the bomber turns out to be white, no one will call for your group to be profiled as terrorists as a result, subjected to special screening or threatened with deportation. … White privilege is knowing that if this bomber turns out to be white, the United States government will not bomb whatever corn field or mountain town or stale suburb from which said bomber came, just to ensure that others like him or her don't get any ideas."
According to Sirota,
"Because of these undeniable and pervasive double standards, the specific identity of the Boston Marathon bomber (or bombers) is not some minor detail — it will almost certainly dictate what kind of governmental, political and societal response we see in the coming weeks. That means regardless of your particular party affiliation, if you care about everything from stopping war to reducing the defense budget to protecting civil liberties to passing immigration reform, you should hope the bomber was a white domestic terrorist. Why? Because only in that case will privilege work to prevent the Boston attack from potentially undermining progress on those other issues."
If a Christian or right-wing extremist turns out to be the perpetrator, leftists will dance in the streets as Palestinians did on 9/11. Liberals don't just want the killer to be a conservative; it's essential for policy reasons that the killer be a conservative, white American.
SEE RELATED: Boston explosion eyewitness: It smelled like gunpowder
People like Sirota and the commentators at MSNBC need terrorists like Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh gives them cover. Because of men like McVeigh and the Unabomber, we can never assume that radical Islam is to blame for a terrorist attack. Islamists are not always guilty. They are only much more likely to be guilty than any other group you can think of.
This politicization of the way we look at terrorism delays news coverage, and it can even slow the gathering of information by those who have a political stake in the outcome. At its worst, it makes us blind to what we don't want to see, or makes us see what isn't there. The political preference that the bomber be an Islamist or an white American is a precursor to lynch mob mentality. Some people were quick to assume that a Saudi student tackled at the site was the perpetrator, and if the police had followed suit, they would have wasted resources and time focusing on a man who turns out not to be of interest. The same can happen in reverse; if we don't want the perpetrator or perpetrators to be Muslim, we might wast time looking everywhere else first.
Many of us seem to be operating on two standards of guilt here — beyond any doubt if the evidence points at Islamists, and a simple preponderance of evidence if it points at the tea party.
It is painful to issue retractions, and it makes editors upset. So we are instructed to be extremely careful with stories like this, and to blame no one without evidence. That memo has not been universally issued or received at all media outlets, though. Yet isn't speculating about radical Islam just as harmful as speculating about tea party killers? How is it in any way permissible that journalists would express a preference about who set the bomb?
It is not, unless you believe that it is more dangerous to speculate about one group than another. If you believe that it is more dangerous and less acceptable to speculate about Islam, you focus on right-wing extremists, and take a dig at the tea party in the process. Yet those blaming the tea party have zero evidence that there has been any tea party violence anywhere in the United States at any time. Crazies exist all over the spectrum, but not one person has committed an act of terror specifically due to tea party philosophy.
In spite of the arrest, we have no idea yet who is responsible for the Boston bombing. If we are going to speculate, then speculation about Islamic complicity is as reasonable as speculation about tea party complicity, and from a purely statistical perspective, probably more so. Perhaps the issue should be whether journalists should ever speculate at all. But we do, and always have, so why should we walk on egg shells when it comes to speculating about one possibility? Even if Islamists turn out to be innocent in the Boston Marathon bombing, is it not worth asking, "what if?"
The Obama Administration's ban on using the term "radical Islam" shows an unwillingness under any circumstances to consider the possibility that people who commit the most acts of terror have done it again. While the liberal media blame conservatives with reckless abandon and simultaneously preach caution, can we at least stop with the politically correct self-censorship?
Is there absolute, concrete proof at this moment that Islamists bombed the Boston Marathon? None that has been made public. Now that an arrest has been reported, we might expect to see some evidence one way or another soon. Yet should we, and most especially the police, still consider possible links to radical Islam? Of course.
The murders of four Americans at Benghazi were committed by radical Islamists. The Obama administration vowed swift justice, which never materialized, even when we knew what motivated those killers. Time went by, and many Americans lost interest.
That could happen again with Boston, especially if finding out the truth could cause harm to the beliefs of those at the top of the "investigation." For the sake of a swift and definitive conclusion to the investigation and punishment of this crime, the families of the Boston Marathon victims should hope a tea partyer or other conservative detonated the bombs. That way at least the American media and government will publicly ensure justice is carried out. This is what happens when justice is not only blind, but deaf and dumb as well.

I'm a happy camper: today Dr. Carolyn's 100 Heirloom Tomatoes book arrived, along with Lee Reich's Unusual Fruits and his Pruning Book, and a couple of books about pre-contact Native American agriculture, AND the Seed Savers Exchange catalog AND the Tomato Growers Supply catalog. It was a pretty chilly day today, so thoughts of winter (garden PLANNING season) have been going through my head....
I can afford to be happy, despite the fast-approaching end of the 2004 growing season, since I didn't actually grow anything in 2004 -- I only moved from apartment to house 2 months ago. I suppose I could have grown some things starting in August, but, well, I didn't. So there. I'm looking forward to killing off some grass over the winter so I'll have beds to work with next Spring! My favorite market farmer says he will keep showing up till Christmas. Wow! |

AND the Seed Savers Exchange catalog AND the Tomato Growers Supply catalog. And then in a few months you'll have to request the new 200 5 catalogs for both of those places to see the new stuff being offered. I know the public SSE seed catalog is being worked on right now b/c I'll be reviewing the tomato section in the next couple of days as soon as I receive the hard copy . And the TGS 2005 catalog usually comes out in mid to late Nov/early Dec. And of course their new 2005 websites will also be up near the same time the new catalogs are mailed. Will you be specializing in any particular heirloom vegetables or fruits? New houses and new gardens are just plain exciting. And will look forward to seeing you in the various specialty forums such as tomatoes, vegetables, etc, where specifics are discussed. Carolyn |
My main focus will be fruit, so the center of the (1/2-acre) yard will be mostly given over to trees and the larger shrubs. Veggies will take up most of the borders (gradually, over a few years), mixed in with some flowers and smaller fruiting shrubs or vines. I'm excited about apples, there are some nursery-orchards with literally hundreds of varieties to choose from. I will definitely try maybe 6 or a dozen tomatoes, a few different corn, some eggplant, beans, squash, melons, lettuces and other greens. I'd like parallel arbors on each side of the house where the front yard meets the back: grapes on one, kiwi on the other. I'm especially tickled about native foods, especially not-so-well-known ones, like pawpaws and juneberries, and I like the idea of being a part of preserving all the wild diversity of unpatented foodstuffs. It'll be little by little, though, as time permits between full-time work and grad school. But I can dream out the whole lush, thriving, bountiful thing already! |

I have a China Doll plant that I've had for a couple of years. Last year, I cut it down to the stump, and it grew into a lush, beautiful plant/tree. It's happy in a 12 inch pot sitting on top of a toilet at an east facing window (upstairs). My question is, should I have to cut it back, and if so, when and what time of year? Do I need to cut it back even though it looks pretty healthy? Thanks, TammyPie |

I have a china doll plant that I keep indoors. I bought it last year. I know that we are to keep it moist. A couple of weeks when I was not home it dried out . Now the leaves on the bottom have dried out . Is there anyway to get the leaves to come back? |
Tammy - you only need to cut it back to keep it within the bounds you've set for it as far as size is concerned, and to eliminate any branches that cross or are growing back toward the center of the tree. Summer is the best time to cut this plant back. For you, I'd say sometime between Father's Day and the end of June. That gives the plant the early summer to build energy reserves for the major work, and the rest of the summer to regain some reserve energy for the shorter days of winter. In SoCal, you can get away with a little more than in more northerly climes, but the best time is still as outlined. That holds true for repotting as well. Any time you intend to do major work on a houseplant or tropical tree, it just makes sense to undertake the work when the plant has high energy reserves. This facilitates the fastest recovery and leaves the plant far less vulnerable to insect predation and disease than if you undertook the work in late winter or spring when the plant is at it's lowest energy level of the entire growth cycle. We work on trees to keep them healthy, which is a significantly better strategy than to ignore them until they're in severe decline and then trying to fix things. Regular root pruning when repotting (repotting is a more involved process and much better for plants than simply potting up) and a change of soil is an oft overlooked part of keeping trees healthy over the long term. Tracy - keep the soil barely damp and the plant in good light but not direct sun ..... and wait. Often, leaf loss is the plant's drought response in action and a protective mechanism to keep the tree from losing all it's moisture through the leaves. Odds are good the tree will recover if it wasn't too dry for too long. Al |

Hi Al, Thanks for the advice! I will certainly cut my China Doll back in the early spring. Do you recommend a good fertilizer for my CD so the leaves get dark green? Other than that, my Rademachera Sinica is awesome looking! I throw in a small glass of water in the pot every 2-3 days just to keep the roots working for that moisture - once in a awhile I will add more water. TammyPie |
I recommended pruning in early summer - around Father's Day, but if the plant is healthy & growing well, you can prune earlier w/o a significant impact on recovery time. The two things that determine how fast a plant recovers from significant work, like major pruning and repotting, depends on how much energy the plant has stored and on it's potential for producing energy at the time of the work. For tropicals, waiting until Father's Day to repot (as opposed to potting up) and do hard pruning allows the plant to recover from low spring energy levels and to take advantage of the longest days (photoperiod) of the growth cycle. I heartily recommend Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 because it contains ALL the essential nutrients at the same ratio in which plants use them. This is a significant plus for the plant and the grower because it allows you to maintain fertility at the lowest possible level w/o nutritional deficiencies. This translates into conditions that make it easiest for the plant to take up water and nutrients. To the grower it means improved growth and a greater likelihood of unspoiled foliage. Foliage-Pro also derives 2/3 of its N from Nitrate sources, which helps to reduce legginess, keeping plants fuller and more compact. Al |

Thanks Al! Where can I get Foliage Pro 9-3-6? TammyPie |
Unless you live near a larger city, you'll probably have to order from an online source. A quick search using the search words Foliage-Pro and 9-3-6 should yield plenty of sources. Other soluble fertilizers in 3:1:2 ratios would be good second choices and probably more readily available. Look for a wide variety of brands of soluble granular fertilizers in 24-8-16 NPK %s, or Miracle-Gro 12-4-8 liquid. These are all 3:1:2 RATIO fertilizers. The 'ratio' of the nutrients to each other is more important than the NPK %s. Ask, if you don't understand and want a more complete explanation. Al |

Hi Al, I just purchased Dyna Gro FoliagePro 9-3-6 for my CD plant. What do you recommend the proper amount? Do you go by the directions or do you use less food? Thanks, TammyPie |
Many growers are all too happy to offer fertilizing directives with no understanding of what you're using for fertilizer (here, we do) or your watering habits and your soil type. Many would also have you believe that you shouldn't fertilize in winter. The subject is much too diverse to offer such blanket advice w/o information related to what I said above. For instance, if you're using a heavy soil that inherently invites the build-up of salts in the soil because you're forced to water in sips to avoid root rot, THEN the advice to avoid fertilizer in winter might be appropriate ...... to save you from yourself. The fact is, the plant still wants a full compliment of nutrients in the soil at a level high enough to prevent nutritional deficiencies, but not so high that it inhibits water uptake. The REAL reason the advice is so often repeated that you shouldn't fertilize in the winter has nothing to do with the plant's nutritional needs, and everything to do with preventing you from over-fertilizing - that is to say to prevent you from a practice that promotes a high level of salts in the soil, when plants most need a LOW level of salts in the soil, that being winter. To be sure, they DO want and need salts in the soil - just not too much. The advice is given because someone is trying to protect you from what they assume is a heavy soil you'll be watering in sips, but making an assumption and acting as though it applies across the board does not illustrate an understanding of soil science or plant nutrition. I said all that so I can say that even though you made an excellent choice of fertilizers, how you best apply it depends on your watering habits and soil type. I use FP 9-3-6 almost to the entire exclusion of all other fertilizers. In the summer, I DO fertilize by mixing the solution by hand in a large container & applying it with watering cans. The frequency is largely temperature dependent, but I use a heavy tablespoon in every 2-1/2 gallons about weekly. In winter, I fertilize every time I water, after adding just under 1/4 tsp per gallon of water. This strategy works extremely well for fast soils that can be properly watered at every watering w/o fear of root rot, but won't work well if you're using a heavy soil that requires you water in sips. Obviously, if no water is exiting the drain hole, fertilizer and tap water salts all remain in the soil to impair root function. The disadvantage of using heavy soils are several. They promote salt build-up because you can't flush them easily without a threat to root health/function. Because you can't effectively flush them at each watering, the RATIO of nutrients in the soil quickly becomes skewed. This means that if you're not regularly flushing the soil, you're absolutely guaranteed either excesses (toxicities) or deficiencies. I can easily explain this if required, but I'll skip it for now. Plant appearance and health are also affected to a large degree by water-retentive soils OR the salt build-up that accompanies them. If you give me an idea of what you're using for soil, I'll help you put together a strategy that will allow you to water properly and get the most out of your fertilizer. Also, how large is the pot your plant is in - is it easy to move about or cumbersome? Al |

Hi Al, I am currently using a potting mix (purchased from HD) but I'm not exactly sure, as I've had this plant for 2-3 years now without re-potting or changing the soil. That being said, I want to know if this spring, if it's OK and it won't harm my CD - if I remove it from the pot, take off all the old potting mix as I can (even trimming off some of the root ball) and re-potting in a new potting mix? And if so, what do you recommend as a potting mix? I also read that China Dolls don't like change or re-potting. Thank you, Tammy |
I think there are several ways to look at the thought that a particular plant might be described as not liking repotting, or even change. First, no plant really appreciates having a significant % of its (root) mass removed. Chop off 2/3 of a plant's roots & you can be assured of a reaction initially unfavorable. Some plants are more sensitive than others to having that particular dignity heaped on them, but lets look at the alternatives. As a plant becomes root bound to about the point where the root/soil mass can be lifted from the pot intact, growth and vitality begins to become negatively and permanently affected. Left to it's own devices and the root bound condition uncorrected through a full repot which includes root pruning, the plant starts a gradual decline that can only be reversed by correcting the root bound condition. These plants can never have the opportunity to grow to their genetic potential within the limits of other cultural factors potentially affecting growth. The plant that is root pruned and repotted at about the point where the planting reaches that stage where the root/soil mass remains intact if you depot, or soon after, is assured of the potential to grow to it's genetic potential within the limits of other cultural factors. As growers, we do best by our plants when we eliminate or reduce to the greatest degree possible, all limiting factors. Eventually, if you don't maintain a healthy root system, the compromised root system will become the most significant limiting factor, which means nothing you can do in the way of improving every other potential limitation can make a difference. You can find confirmation in what I said by looking to bonsai trees AND their companion plantings, both of which are often commonly grown houseplants. These plants, genetically indistinguishable from many houseplants, often enjoy life spans measured in centuries, where many hobby growers remain pleased with plant life spans measured in months, even though they often have the potential to flourish for periods hundreds of times longer. What I'm saying is that while you can initially expect the plant to react in a slightly negative way, it's best for the plant over the long run, the adverse effects are very short lived (usually only a week or two), and there is so much to gain. We prune plants above ground regularly, and often harshly; why would we logically expect we couldn't do the same to below ground parts, the roots? Spring is a good time to repot or transplant temperate perennials (trees are perennials too) because their dormant rest ensures that nearly all the energy they accumulated in the summer prior is still stored safely in roots and ready for conversion to growth. Houseplants, unless we supplement cultural conditions so they're much better than average, generally use more energy than they are able to produce during the winter months. This leaves the plants of a very high % of growers in weakened condition come spring. For that reason, it's better to wait until the plant has had some time to regain and store some energy before repotting. The plant will recover MUCH faster if it is worked on (repotting/heavy pruning) when it is bursting with energy, instead of just limping along after a winter of surviving on its energy reserves. There is little question that the potential for best growth and the margin for grower error in the areas of watering and fertilizing increases markedly as the amount of perched water soils support decreases. Think of perched water as the water you could wring out of a soil if you squeezed it - just as if you were squeezing a saturated sponge. Plants like a soil about as damp as a wrung out sponge best. They do NOT like soils that hold excessive volumes of water or significant amounts of perched water. IOW, they show their appreciation for soils that drain very freely and have lots of aeration. Soils like that need to start with a significant fraction of particles larger than those found in pear, compost, coir, sand (play/beach/builder), topsoil, manure ..... By adopting a soil based on larger particles, like pine bark or other inorganic mineral particles, you can expect it to be much easier to bring along healthy plants. These soils allow you to water properly at any time; they eliminate problems associated with gradual salt build-up (as long as you water correctly), and provide a much healthier root environment than their counterparts that remain soggy after watering correctly. You really can't effectively amend a soil comprised of nearly all fine particles - let's say one based on peat or finished compost. You can reduce water retention by adding ingredients that don't hold water but take up space (perlite, e.g.) but perlite has little impact on drainage (flow through rate), aeration, or the ht of the perched water table; and it's the perched water that kills roots. I suggest you make your own soils if you really want the best results with the least chance for problems. I can help you decide if you want to make your own, or I can help you with ways to get the most from a commercially prepared mix, but you can make a very high quality soil for much less than most commercially packaged soils. Let me know if you want more help. Al |

Yes, Al, if you can suggest what ingredients to make up a good quality potting mix I would appreciate it. Thank you for your informative, articulate advice. Tammy |
You're most welcome. The key to building a soil you can be sure will support best root health is in basing your soil on large, rather than small particles. Imagine a jar of sand. In your mind's eye, you can see there is very little air space, something extremely important to root health, between the sand particles. Now, increase the particle size and imagine a jar full of BBs. Can you see all the healthy air spaces between the BBs; and can you imagine how freely water would flow through the BBs? Now, how about if we mixed the sand & BBs, half & half? can you see that the sand would simply fill in the air spaces between the BBs so you'd essentially be left with the same amount of aeration as if the mix was ALL sand? The same thing happens when you try to add a little pine bark or perlite to peat/compost-based soils. The fine particles simply fill in around the larger particles, and you're left with the same drainage properties (flow through rate) and the same ht of the perched water table (PWT) - which is the most significant limiting factor re soils. The PWT is the water that completely saturates the bottom of containers after a thorough watering. It hangs around, inhibiting root function and causing problems, because the capillary attraction of the small particles is stronger than gravity - so the water stays in the pot. In order to trump the negative effects of the PWT, the lion's share of the particles that make up the soil need to be larger than peat/compost/coir/sand/topsoil .... By the 'lion's share', I mean at least 75-80%. There are two basic soils I use for everything I grow. One is a combination of pine bark fines, peat, and perlite at 5:1:1. The other, the 'gritty mix' the one I grow all my houseplants and long-term plantings in, is comprised of 1 part each of the following (by volume): Screened pine or fir bark: Screened Turface: crushed granite (Gran-I-Grit in grower size) or #2 cherrystone. Alternately, Fafard makes 3 mixes that are close to the 5:1:1 mix above. Their 'nursery mix, 3M mix, and 51L mix all contain a large fraction of pine bark. They are not always easy to find, and when you find an operation that uses/sells Fafard products, you'll likely need to talk them into including the product with a regular order. You can make the 5:1:1 mix yourself for about half the cost of buying Fafard's or other prepared mixes. If you're up for locating the ingredients for making your own soil let me know.

For Turface, do an online search to see if you have any Ewing Irrigation Stores near you (Anaheim, Garden Grove, Lake Forest, San Clemente, Santa Anna) - or John Deere Landscapes dealers. The Horizon Dealer in Orange (714) 279-8154 should have it, too. Ask for Turface 'MVP' or 'Allsport'. I'll check a thread over on the container gardening forum that's dedicated to helping growers find various ingredients. If you're lucky, maybe someone in your neighborhood already using the gritty mix will pitch in and help. You can substitute coarse perlite for the granite if you have to, or if you find a suitable sized pumice, we can make that work, too. Call around, for the bark (pine/fir/redwood), but I'll look for that, too. The size of the ingredients is important. It may initially be a pain to locate what you need, but if you're willing to do the legwork (with whatever help we can be), I'm sure you'll be well-pleased with the results. I gave a presentation after a pleasant luncheon this afternoon to a local chapter (Saginaw, MI) of a national organization (Women's Farm and Garden Association). I talked about many of the things I regularly share here (the topic was caring for houseplants) - the response was very enthusiastic - great audience participation and involvement, with the most questions asked being about soils - and particularly about how to make them. Though I never got to that part (ran out of time), a promise to provide recipes and instructions was extracted. It was a really great group - very friendly. I'm still excited about the positive response, but most of all I'm thrilled as a result of getting to see 'the light go on' over and over again as the ladies (and a few gentleman guests) sort of rearranged some of the pieces of the container gardening/houseplants puzzle and gained understanding in areas where there may have been some confusion or even a void. I'll never grow weary of seeing that 'AHA moment' - it's tremendously rewarding - I'm still pumped. ;-) Al |

Hi Al, Thank you for your information. I did call a John Deere store in Irvine, CA. They only sell 50 lb. bags of Turface, which is WAY too much for me. I will try Ewing Irrigation, the Lake Forest store is one town over tomorrow. Yes, I will do my research and look for exactly what you recommend (I trust YOU and your expertise), the crushed granite, pine bark, etc. I have a question tho - would aquarium gravel work? I have some (small, tiny rocks) that I used for my betta tank. Just thought I'd ask since I have them. Also, Amazon.com sells Bonsai potting mix, with exactly the ingredients you mentioned. Would that be an ideal potting mix for my house plants, including my CD plant? You're the best, Al! Tammy |

Hey, Tammy, those 50 lb. bags are typically what we purchase ;-) I actually purchase two bags at a time, for good measure. When the product is screened, the fine particles will be removed. Josh |
- Posted by tammypie 9 (email@example.com) on Wed, Jan 11, 12 at 23:26
Hey Greenman, I don't need a 50 lb. bag because I don't have too many houseplants that I need to repot. What do you do with the fine particles you screen, and what size screen do you use to screen Turface? |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, Jan 12, 12 at 9:47
I use a piece of aluminum window screen to remove the fine Turface particles. The squares in the window screen are 1/16 of an inch. The Turface fines are thrown into my garden plot or into flower beds, but Al has mentioned You'd be surprised how fast a 50 lb. bag will disappear! ;-)

Aquarium gravel will work if it's the right size. Commercially prepared bonsai potting soils are usually not very good for bonsai OR houseplants because they don't screen the fine particles out before mixing, but they ARE better than 99% of the peat-based commercial soils by virtue of their higher % of larger, grittier particles. In the end, it all comes down to a combination of particle size and uniformity. Al |

Hi Al, Well the year is progressing and I'm looking forward to Father's Day when I can finally cut down/repot my China Doll. My question is, what should I do first - cut her back first or vice versa? Should I trim the leaves, as I want to put her in a smaller (1 inch smaller) pot? Thanks, TammyPie |
How about a picture so I can get an idea of how healthy it is? Al |
- Posted by tammypie 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 5:48
Oh, it's pretty healthy. Some of the leaves turn yellow and die near the bottom, esp. when I don't water it. But the top is pretty healthy. |
I have a China Doll at work. It is ONLY under the floresent light, I water once a week., This plant is almost three feet high. I cannot believe how well this plant is doing. My fiance' bought the same size at the same time, he tryed his is different windows in his home, the poor thing wasn't growing> I took it and put it over on a shelf he has that he always leaves a regular light bulb on, it get only defused sunlight, yet this plant now is spouting. Everyone at work is amazed how well this plant is doing, as am I. My vines are doing great too, so if you want some 'green' at work that's my recommendation. |

text: I think if it hurts them it will be temporary. I feel like there are two very different breeds of people that go to Disney vs. Universal...I just dont see Universal as having the power to really hurt Disney, not in the long run at least. I have a feeling Disney is very aware of what is happening there, and the potential for the financial impact it could have, I wouldn't be shocked if Disney has big plans in mind for the coming years, plans outside of the ones happening in Fantasyland. Only time will tell!

Day care in bleach spraying probe seeks court action to stop 'vendetta'
Owner says windows shattered, staff tailed in cars
FRANKLIN, Ind. - The owner of a Franklin day care said he is planning court action against a fired employee who accused his staff of spraying bleach on her child, saying a "vendetta" by the fired worker is causing his staff to live in fear.
"Oh my gosh, I've been living a nightmare," said Prashith Srivastava, owner of Kid Company Day Care in Franklin.
The Call 6 Investigators reported earlier this month that two state agencies were launching investigations after an ex-employee complained that her child was sprayed with bleach by an angry teacher at the facility.
Investigators with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration and Child Protective Services arrived at the facility, but were unable to substantiate the claims.
"I am fighting back," Srivastava told the Call 6 Investigators this week. "It was not substantiated. There (was) nothing there, as we have been claiming all along."
In two separate reports filed with the Franklin Police Department, Srivastava said he has been getting threatening and racist text messages from the fired worker. He also told police she has been following day care workers in her van, causing workers to live in fear.
"I will not let this go. This has to stop. It has caused me heartache, it has caused me a lot of stress, it's caused my employees a lot of stress," he said.
He also told police that the same "vendetta" was behind windows being smashed out on his day care, forcing the business to close for one day.
Attorney Andy Baldwin said he is preparing a legal filing for this week to ask a judge to bar the fired worker from going near the day care or its employees.
"She had been terminated from her job, she was upset by that, and now it's turned into a campaign of trying to get back at Kid Co.," said Baldwin. "We're concerned about this thing, and a no contact order may help."
The former employee who originally lodged the bleach spraying complaint with the state, Sally Southard, told the Call 6 Investigators that she is not harassing anyone.
"Of course he's going to say that to try and cover his own butt," she said in an interview at her home on Wednesday.
She admitted to sending the pointed text messages to the day care owner, including messages containing racial slurs, but she said she was only attempting to collect her final paycheck.
"Other than that, I have not harassed him in no way," she said, adding that, "I got better things to do."
She denied having anything to do with the window smashing at the day care.
"I know that place has got cameras all around it. I would not be stupid enough to go there and bust windows out, knowing that they got cameras all around there," she said.
The surveillance video shows a person seeming to stay mostly out of the video camera's view, and then raising a bat and swinging it at a window.
Franklin Police now have a copy of that recording and Lt. Kerry Atwood said the case remains under investigation. He said his department also received a report of employees being harassed by the former employee, but he said there was not enough evidence that a crime had been committed.
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) and Child Protective Services both launched investigations into the bleach spraying allegations, and after inspecting the day care and interviewing employees, inspectors were unable to substantiate that the spraying incident had occurred.
Srivastava said their findings were a vindication for his staff.
He said his staff uses a bleach solution for cleaning surfaces in the day care, but he said the concentration of bleach is so slight that it could not possibly stain clothing.
Southard showed the Call 6 Investigators and state inspectors her son's shirt, which she said was discolored by bleach from the spraying episode.
Srivastava said it was impossible for his staff to have caused the damage, as evidenced by a citation from the FSSA for having bleach bottles that weren't strong enough.
"The irony here is… We got cited for not enough strength of bleach in the water," he said. "We are the victim, and we are fighting back and we take it very, very seriously."

Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM Chief of CorrespondentsDUBLIN, Ohio -- Jim Furyk is hoping for summer to return again on Saturday.
"But you never know," he said good-naturedly. Not in May. Not at Muirfield Village when the PGA TOUR's top stars come to play in the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance.

We want students to be engaged in the campus community; at Goucher, you can get involved in a variety of ways. There are opportunities for everyone, whether they are interested in:
- Working with incoming students
- Finding on-campus work
- Giving back to others
- Technology
- Social justice
- Peer education
- Athletics
- Programming
- Integrating faith and leadership
- Student government
- Running a club or organization.
Take a risk and try on some new roles that you may never have thought of before and play a role in making your community a better one. Contact the Office of Student Engagement to learn more.
Not sure where to start? Check out one of the following programs and discover what might work for you.
The Emerging Leaders Initiative is geared toward first-year students interested in exploring their leadership potential and making positive social change in their community, whether on campus or off. Participants begin exploring their own ideas and concepts around leadership and think about ways they want to become an involved leader during their four years at Goucher.
Participants will:
- Reflect on their goals and dreams. They will be challenged to think about: Why do I want to be a leader? What do I have to contribute? Why is it important that I be engaged in my community?
- Ponder their personal values and how that contributes to their leadership styles. They will conceptualize what is important to them and why those key values guide their lives.
- Learn leadership concepts and skills. Walk away with a personal definition of what it means to be a leader and a few new skills to help them be that leader.
- Network with other emerging leaders, current sophomore, junior, or senior class leaders, and staff who are interested in leadership.
The Emerging Leaders Initiative occurs in the fall semester. If you have any questions or are interested in participating, contact Stacy Patterson, director of student engagement.
Goucher Leadership Council (GLC) is a group of upper-class students who serve as peer leadership educators and think about ways to infuse leadership into the Goucher community. Since its creation in Fall 2005, GLC has assisted with the Emerging Leaders Initiative, created the Goucher Athletic Leadership (GOAL) Program, and planned events for the Goucher community. GLC members must apply to and interview for the program, hold a cumulative GPA of 2.5 for rising juniors and seniors, and have demonstrated excellent service and leadership to the Goucher community. Interested in learning more about what GLC does or could do for you? Contact Stacy Patterson with any questions.
The Goucher Leadership Scholars program encompasses all of the leadership programs and individual opportunities students participate in over their four years at Goucher. In the spring of their senior year, students have a unique opportunity to participate in workshops and discussions on leadership, reflect upon their individual experiences, and think critically on the topic of leadership. Students will have the chance to learn about theories of multicultural identity development as well as the concept of global citizenship.
Regardless of previous experience, any undergraduate senior is encouraged to apply for the Goucher Leadership Scholars program. To complete the program, students participate in dialogues about the concepts of leadership, global citizenship, and/or multicultural identity development. Additionally, they attend a Senior Capstone Experience retreat, where they are guided through activities to help them reflect on their individual experiences. Finally, students complete a presentation to a panel of faculty and staff. This presentation is reflective of the student's leadership and/or global experiences and speaks to how the student has achieved Goucher's leadership learning outcomes.
The timeline for 2014 is as follows:
- Application deadline- Tuesday, February 11
- Theory sessions (must attend 2 of 3)- weeks of February 17, 24, and March 3
- Senior Capstone Experience retreat- Sunday, March 9
- Participants will schedule individual appointments and presentations following the retreat.
If all components of the program are successfully completed, the Goucher Leadership Scholars designation is bestowed upon the participants at the annual Leadership Awards Reception in the spring semester. Additionally, all Leadership Scholars are presented a medallion to be worn at Commencement. Please contact Stacy Cooper Patterson in the Office of Student Engagement for more information.
The Senior Capstone Experience is one of the requirements for the Goucher Leadership Scholar designation. A day-long retreat for graduating seniors, this program allows participants to reflect upon their leadership experiences, consider how their values affect their leadership, and think about what they want to do as leaders post-Goucher. The retreat also encourages students to consider how they have achieved the leadership learning outcomes. Additionally, students have the opportunity to reflect on how their global pursuits have shaped their Goucher experience.
Following the Senior Capstone Experience retreat, all participants meet with the director of student engagement for follow-up conversations. In late March/early April, participants deliver presentations of their reflections to an audience of supporters. The accomplishment is celebrated at the Spring Leadership Awards Reception, where the students are awarded a medallion to be worn at graduation.
Connections Peer Facilitators work with instructors of the Connections (FYE 134) program to develop a learning community in this required first-semester course. Connections is designed to provide first-year students with the opportunity to reflect on the adjustments they are making to college life and to think about their choices and responsibilities as a member of a diverse learning community. Peer facilitators provide a peer perspective, serve as small-group facilitators, and help to plan gatherings for the students in their section of Connections.
For more information on the Connections Peer Facilitator position, contact Emily Perl, assistant vice president for student life.
Goucher's Orientation Committee works throughout the year to prepare for the incoming class's Summer Orientation and Fall Orientation programs. A group of about 20 students are selected annually to be a part of this prestigious group. Individuals help students in their transition to college and assist various campus departments and offices with the orientation programs. The group is advised by Christine Krieger, associate director of student engagement.
An educational program for positional leaders, Club Summit serves helps Goucher's student leaders develop practical skills and provides them with information regarding policies and procedures. Each organization is required to have at least one representative present at the event. Club Summit includes opportunities for student leaders to network and build relationships that hopefully will lead to programmatic collaboration and understanding of campus event planning policies.
The Baltimore Collegetown LeaderShape Program connects students across campuses and with their communities to make a better Baltimore. The LeaderShape experience is directed strongly toward civic-minded students - not only leaders and potential leaders, but also students who are passionate about service and engagement within the larger Baltimore community. Participants are given the rare opportunity to network and brainstorm ideas with Baltimore community leaders and college students from around the city over the course of this year-long experience.
The Academic Honor Board hears all cases involving actual and alleged violations of the Academic Honor Code. The board is made up of a chair, a secretary, four student representatives, and faculty members who serve at each hearing. The board is selected by the current chair of the board and the associate dean for undergraduate studies. The associate dean serves as the board coordinator. Anyone who has violated the honor code or has witnessed a violation is honor-bound to report the violation to the chair of the Academic Honor Board or to the coordinator. For more information, see the Academic Honor Code.
Class officers build class unity by organizing social activities, fundraisers, and meetings. Classes can collaborate with other classes, houses, or clubs to sponsor larger events. Senior class officers work with others at the college to coordinate the 100 Nights event, Senior Week, Baccalaureate, the senior class speaker, the class gift, and fundraising. Officers for each of the three returning classes are elected by their class in the spring elections. Officers for the entering class are elected by their class in the fall.
Every student in the Goucher community is a member of the Student Government Association (SGA). The administrative and legislative duties of the SGA are in the hands of the Executive Board and the Senate (legislative body), respectively. The Executive Board meets weekly and is the steering committee of SGA. The Senate is made up of elected house, class, commuter, and at-large senators. The SGA parliamentarian is selected by the Executive Board and confirmed by the Senate in the fall. The meetings of the Senate are open to the entire student body. Students are encouraged to attend, as well as to address their concerns to their elected SGA representatives. Student awareness of and participation in SGA activities are essential to ensuring the value and effectiveness of the organization. The SGA welcomes the interest and participation of the student body. Anyone who has questions or ideas or wants to volunteer for organization activities should refer to the listed officers or the SGA website. See the SGA Constitution for more information.
Goucher Student Ambassadors are students who give campus tours, host overnight guests, and assist with special events for the Admissions Office. In addition, ambassadors can act as Goucher Admissions liaisons to their high schools. The Admissions staff selects Executive Board members each year to head the organization in conjunction with the Admissions Office. Executive Board members assign tour times, arrange overnight stays, and help coordinate special events for Admissions. They are chosen for their enthusiasm, sense of responsibility, and ability to communicate with prospective students and their families about their personal experiences at Goucher.
Community assistants (CAs) are students hired, trained, and supervised by Office of Community Living staff. They live in residence halls, function as peer advisers, and are the initial contacts for students with problems and concerns. CAs are available to help students within the limits of their training, ability, and time. They also direct students to appropriate professional resources both on and off campus. Each CA is assigned to one house and organizes educational programming in the halls, works with roommates who experience conflicts, provides documentation of policy violations, and serves as liaison for Facilities Management Services and academic channels.
Goucher's Peer Listening Program is a network of trained students who provide a supplemental support system to students, specifically regarding, but not limited to, those who are or have been affected by sexual and dating violence. Peer listeners are available from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. each night.
This annual program is a paid opportunity for students to drive through select regions of the United States to attend sendoff events for the incoming class of students, to meet and learn from Goucher alumnae/i in a variety of settings, and to increase involvement and philanthropic support for the college. The Vagabonds blog their daily experiences back to the online community and document their journey with pictures and video.

Key, David M(cKendree)
Key, David M(cKendree)
biographical name(born Jan. 27, 1824, Greene county, Tenn., U.S.died Feb. 3, 1900, Chattanooga, Tenn.) U.S. politician. Admitted to the bar in 1850, he practiced law in Chattanooga and became active in Democratic Party politics. He opposed secession by the South but served in the Confederate army during the American Civil War, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war he worked to heal sectional grievances and restore the Union. He was appointed to the U.S. Senate (1875), succeeding former president Andrew Johnson, but two years later was defeated in a bid to retain the seat. When the disputed 1876 presidential election was turned over to a special Electoral Commission, the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes, secured the support of Southern Democrats by promising, among other things, to appoint a Southerner to his cabinet. Key was thus appointed postmaster general in 1877. From 1880 to 1894 Key was a U.S. district judge in Tennessee.

Thursday Horoscopes
- ARIES: March 21st - April 19th
You have two choices today. Either jump into the thick of the mess with both feet or stay out of it altogether. There are definitely two distinct camps setting up their arsenals for battle. Realize that there is also a soft, tender, harmonious aspect that just wants peace. It will be hard to ignore the fact that your usual warring nature is ready to do battle. - TAURUS: April 20th - May 20th
You may end up being the peaceful savior that calms everyone down today, Taurus. Use your artistic nature and love of beauty and harmony to inspire others to put away their differences and concentrate on the positive aspects. Generous acceptance of others is the only way to go, especially today, when people are riled up and ready to fight. Do your best to promote peace. - GEMINI: May 21st - June 21st
Your unique ability to communicate with many different groups and personalities will be extremely important today to maintaining a bridge between warring camps, Gemini. Keep things moving and try not to let the situation stagnate on any one issue. If the conversation turns to raging and ranting, it's in your best interests to stop it right away. Don't be afraid to step up and take a leadership role. - CANCER: June 22nd - July 22nd
You might feel like you're getting worked up from all angles today, Cancer. Find comfort in knowing that things will definitely improve by tomorrow. You might get the feeling that somehow you're all alone despite the circle of friends that surrounds and loves you. You may be called to action by a strong force. Try to stay abreast of information and developments around you so you can make the most informed decisions possible. - LEO: July 23rd - August 22nd
Try to rise above the potential tension and rough spots of the day, Leo. Do yourself a favor and don't feel like you have to stoop to another's level. Take pride in your actions and do things with confidence. Work with the negativity. The worst thing to do would be to ignore it. Approach problems squarely as soon as they arise. Don't dredge up the past. It's time to move forward. - VIRGO: August 23rd - September 22nd
You might want to escape the frenzy of the day by going shopping, Virgo. Align yourself with partners and allies who share your views. Try to keep the disagreements to a minimum. There is enough tension and war raging in the world around you today that you don't need to add to the negative force by contributing disputes and ailments to the situation. - LIBRA: September 23rd - October 22nd
Your mood should be quite good today, Libra, although there may be some strong forces at work trying to subvert this positive attitude. Try not to let other people's disagreements bring you down. Take the high ground and you will certainly prevail. A peaceful nature is extremely important in order to balance the anger and hostility that's present all around. Be the one to promote this harmony. - SCORPIO: October 23rd - November 21st
Today's arena is one in which you can find a great deal of material, Scorpio. There will be no shortage of energy to work with or opinions coming from you. Realize that your words have a greater potency about them as people become more intent on uncovering the truth. Apply yourself to peace and cooperation among groups. Help people work together toward a common goal. - SAGITTARIUS: November 22nd - December 21st
Peace and harmony are in the regularly scheduled program for the day, but there is a good chance that there could be a warring force with strong opinions and vindictive tendencies. Hold onto your hat, Sagittarius, and make sure you have your actions well aligned with your soul or else you could be thrown into a battle that has nothing to do with you. - CAPRICORN: December 22nd - January 19th
I told you so might be your motto of the day. Try not to rub this in other people's faces, Capricorn. Indeed, you have the foresight to witness an action and see the consequences right away. These consequences might rear their ugly heads on a day like this. Use your incredible perception and intuition to hone in on the best solution possible and work toward that goal before things get out of hand. - AQUARIUS: January 20th - February 18th
You may know exactly the right thing to do today, but for some reason, the action required may be a hard thing for you to implement, Aquarius. Take an active role to get involved. Say your peace, but don't get so attached to the results that you get upset and discouraged if things don't exactly work out according to plan. Independence is an important virtue to hold onto today. - PISCES: February 19th - March 20th
Make sure your opinion doesn't get lost in the frenzy of the day, Pisces. Your words may not quite fit with the things that people want to hear. Try not to take this personally. Realize that this isn't an indication that your words are any less important. You have an incredible gift of being able to see things that others can't. Cherish and nourish this ability instead of invalidating it.

The videos are split because Twitch decided to store them in this way. Clips and Highlights are created using the original 30 minute segments from the original broadcast. We provide the segments you will need to download and the time stamps for when the clip or highlight takes place. All of the files are stored in FLV format and are grabbed directly from Twitch. We do not host any of the video files. Twitch does delete videos, so you may run into video links that no longer exist. You can easily convert the FLV files using FFMpeg to a more usable extension such as MP4 or AVI (tutorial).
