In the author's note following Anne Rice's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, the first in a projected three- to four-volume ''autobiography'' of Jesus, Rice tells readers that she was ''ready to risk everything,'' including ''violence'' to her career, to ''consecrate...the book to Christ.'' She explains that ''nothing else mattered,'' describes the special challenge she faced (''to write about the Jesus of the Gospels, of course!''), targets her readership (''all Christians''), and even acknowledges that ''sometimes I thought I was walking through the valley of the shadow of Death'' during research. (Well, what writer hasn't?)
If I dwell on this intense attempt at self-justification rather than on the heartfelt and extremely dull novel that precedes it, I do so only because trashing the book itself is an exercise in futility in every way except as a lesson in how to generate unpleasant mail. The many readers for whom, in this case, subject trumps style probably aren't all that interested in hearing about what's wrong with Christ the Lord. For the rest of you, the problem is not the artistic arrogance or creative ambition of trying to find a voice to portray Jesus' childhood, with special emphasis on his Jewish upbringing. Artistic arrogance and creative ambition don't ensure success, but their absence guarantees failure. Artists who have dared to imagine Jesus from the inside range from Nikos Kazantzakis and Shusaku Endo to Martin Scorsese and Mel Gibson. Why not Rice?
Perhaps more arrogance would have helped, because Rice's Christ reads like a bland young-adult novel, written in language that's supposed to be unadorned and poignantly simple but is instead as flat and leeched of poetry as the Good News Bible. So intent is Rice on cracking the mystery of who Jesus was that she forgets the attraction of mysteries that can't be solved, of the ineffable and contradictory. And whatever you think of her other writing, from vampires to porn, her decision to comb any linguistic energy out of this book seems an act of contrition, not creativity. ''I had to know who Jesus was,'' Rice says of her goal for the novel. The only response is the obvious one: Easier said than done.

I finally got around to putting my Recesky together. That was an adventure as I my instructions were in Chinese, which I don't read. Once finished, I was so excited to use it that I headed out immediately. It was a cold day and I couldn't seem to focus hardly any of the shots. I promise I will give it another chance, as I love the weird perspective on some of these.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won a significant victory in New Hampshire Tuesday, earning 38 percent of the vote in the state's Republican primary.
Romney is the first non-incumbent Republican to win Iowa and New Hampshire in more than three decades.
"We made history," Romney told supporters Tuesday evening.
"Our president looks across America and says it could be worse. It could be worse? That's not what it means to be an American," Romney later added. "What defines us as Americans is we know it will be better - and it must be better."
Romney was expected to win New Hampshire. Does this mean he's well on his way to becoming the GOP nominee? What's next for Santorum and Gingrich, who both had a poor showing Tuesday?
Click play for analysis from CBN News Chief Political Correspondent David Brody and Senior Editor John Waage.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul finished second with a fairly strong showing at 23 percent.
Jon Huntsman, who skipped the Iowa caucuses to focus on New Hampshire, took third with 17 percent.
Meanwhile former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum battled for fourth place, both earning 10 percent of the vote.
Despite their poor results Tuesday, Santorum and Gingrich assured supporters that they would remain in the race.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished last with less than 1 percent of voters' support.
Candidates now set their eyes on South Carolina, which holds its primary Jan. 21.

According to the Life Events Stress Test, experiencing marital separation is ranked as the third most stressful life event.
Death of spouse or child is #1. Divorce is #2.
Interestingly, 'detention in jail or other institution' is #4.
Honestly, I think going to jail would be way more stressful for me than separation. But I'm kind of sensitive to the idea of getting knifed in the shower and wearing the same outfit every day.
But to each her own, I guess.
Anyway, there appears to be a consent amongst some family members that I should not be discussing the personal details of my recent marital separation in my blog.
I tried to explain that I'm not sharing specific details of the separation, per say, I'm simply sharing my specific perceptions and feelings about the separation. I have no interest in holding a he-said/she-said conversation on the internet, particularly when the 'he-said' part of the equation isn't interested in sharing his thoughts with all of you folks.
Which is completely understandable, yo.
(Although he's totally missing out, because you folks are amazing.)
So, I had to ask myself a couple of questions:
1) Do I continue to be comfortable with what I have written? Do I feel it was truthful and respectful to myself, my marriage, my children, and my family and friends?
2) If yes, am I prepared to deal with the consequences if family and/or friends are unable to understand or respect why I've chosen to write my thoughts and feelings about such a personal topic on a blog?
I'm not going to lie; much thinking occurred. Many discussions with my close friends. Multiple emails were exchanged with some fellow bloggers.
I've decided that at this point, I'm not ashamed of my posts about the separation, and I don't intend to remove them.
When I consulted a very good friend and fellow blogger about this very topic, she said, "Tara, if you're not a blogger or an avid reader of blogs, then this blogging thing probably seems puzzling and unimportant. Its a phenomenon that you either 'get' and embrace as a valuable interest and talent, or you don't."
She has a point.
It's unfair to expect everyone to get this whole blogging thing. I mean, it's kind of a new concept for many people.
But because they don't get it doesn't mean I'm wrong for doing it.
So, I'm going to keep blogging. And I plan to find the funny. And when I can't find the funny, I hope I can at least write something interesting and relatable. And if I can't write something funny, interesting, or relatable, then you should totally stop reading this blog.
(Let's start with the next post, okay? This one doesn't count.)
Although I'm going to continue to blog, I don't feel it's necessary to use my real last name or my husband's real first name. I think it's time to shield my husband and his family from the attention that this successful-ish blog is starting to get.
So, I'm renaming the husband. Who will likely have a more limited role on this blog, seeing as how we spend limited time together these days. But he is the dad, and a good one at that, so on occasion he may do a mini-cameo. After all, I don't want the kids to grow up and wonder if they imagined all the "inane conversations with Daddy" portion of their lives. Or think that he didn't attend their birthday party or something.
So, some minor changes are coming . . . stay tuned.

Prayer Video: Will You Pray?
We've created a one-minute video you can use to promote the Table's Prayer Wall to your church. It's a top-notch video dramatizing how powerful it is to know that people are praying for you.
We're now making this video available publicly and there are several ways you can share it with your congregation:
1) Show It On Sunday Morning
Download the video and show it to your congregation during your worship services. It's a short video and powerfully communicates how the Table can impact lives.
You could go a step further and follow up the video with some personal stories of how the Table is impacting your church. We hear lots of stories about the Prayer Wall so there are surely some in your church as well.
2) Share It
Share the video through all your online communication channels. Either download it and create a custom version to share or use the generic version we've uploaded (see details below). Embed the video on your website, share it on Facebook, feature it on YouTube, talk it up on Twitter, plug it in your email newsletter. This is the kind of video people will share, so it's an opportunity to spread the word about your church and the power of prayer.
Here's some sample text you can use to spread the word:
Long form text:
Version 1:
You get that dreaded phone call and you're off to the hospital. While you sit in uncomfortable chairs waiting for more bad news, you feel so alone. But your phone chimes and you've got email—people are praying for you. On the way to the hospital you posted a quick request on the Table's Prayer Wall. You're not alone. That's the power of prayer. Watch this video to see how it works with the Table: [link/embed video]
Version 2:
Prayer changes lives and can deepen and strengthen our community. Will you pray? When you post a simple prayer request to the Table, emails are automatically sent to people in our church who are waiting to pray for you. When they click that 'Pray Now' button, an email comes back to you—instant encouragement when you need it most. Watch this video to see it in action: [link/embed video]
Version 3:
The Bible tells us to be devoted to prayer, that our prayers are powerful and effective, to pray without end. Jesus asked his disciples to pray with him in his most desperate hour. The Bible tells us that God is attentive to our prayers.
So let's pray! When you post a prayer request to the Prayer Wall on the Table, it closes the loop on the old school prayer chain. People willing to pray are instantly notified, and when they pray you're notified as well, giving you the encouragement you need. Watch this video to see it in action: [link/embed video]
Short form text:
Version 1:
How can we pray for you? Post your needs to the Table. Here's what that kind of encouragement can look like: [link/embed video]
Version 2:
Will you pray? We have requests on the Table that need prayer. Watch this video & see how prayer can impact lives: [link/embed video]
Version 3:
The Table's Prayer Wall is an amazing way we can support and encourage one another. Watch this video to see it in action: [link/embed video]
Get the Video
We've made two versions of the video available.
1) Generic Table Version: This version is meant to be used as is and closes by pointing people to the tableproject.org. If you want to share this video immediately, this is the one to use. You can download the video and then upload it yourself, or just share or embed the versions we've uploaded to several video sites. Notice that this version won't point people specifically to your church's Table, so you might want to add your church's Table url (yourchurch.tableproject.org) to any description or comment text when you share it.
Download: Generic Prayer Video (ZIP, 70 MB)
YouTube / Vimeo / Facebook
2) Customizable Version: This version is meant to be customized by adding your church's logo and Table url at the end. This will require some video editing skills, but the bonus here is that the video can point people directly to your church. If you have the time and skills, we strongly recommend going this route as it will drive people to your church (and that's really the point, right?).

Every year on Easter millions of people will gather at churches all over the world to celebrate on a day that they think commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And yet, if you were to ask many of them why Jesus Christ was resurrected, I have a feeling you'd get quite a variety of responses.
Many people today believe that man has an immortal soul and that the soul never dies—that it goes right on living forever. And of course if that were true, there certainly wouldn't be so much in the Bible about a resurrection from the dead—a resurrection from the grave.

We made an offer on a house today. Wish me luck! We sold our house last fall when we moved to Seattle for DH's work. It was a house we lived in for over 25 years, and it was the only house we ever owned. So buying a house now is very much like buying for the first time. It's all new and scary for us!
According to our buyer's agent, we are just about the only people in the market for a house who are NOT trying to stick it to the sellers. We are not going after short sales, trying to capitalize on others' misfortunes. We are not even asking for any special perks like buyer's bonuses or for them to pay our closing costs. It is nicer than the house we left behind, and has a pretty, fenced level back yard with some already established flower beds. So keep your fingers crossed for me! |

Yes, do let us know how it goes. Sounds exciting. All the best. :O) |
Thanks for the good wishes! They made a counteroffer, and we accepted. Now we have to fill out paperwork, and the closing is scheduled for mid-August. We are thrilled! I will be doing lots of winter sowing this winter! |
Wonderful! Congratulations :-) Linda |

Yay!!! This is SO exciting!! Got pics so we can all start planning your gardens?? LOL! |
Boy, this home buying and selling is all a piece of work isnt it? You list a home for MORE than you really want for it(because you know they're going to offer less) and then you make an offer that's LESS than you want to pay because yoU KNOW they're going to counter ...... and so ong anyhow, "Now we have to fill out paperwork" Oh boy, you are not done even after you fill out the paperwork, You also have to: Gather Winter Sowing Containers :) |
Thanks for the good wishes, again! I think I will wait until the house is actually ours and post pictures then. I can't wait to get started on the garden, I have so many plans (but of course I don't mind help). There are already a few beds, with some trees and shrubs and perennials, so it has good bones already. But there's lots of mulched open spaces between all that. Lots of room to fill up with WSed perennials and annuals, so I can give it a real cottage garden look. |

"lots of mulched open spaces". You are making me drool. That would be a paradise for me. :O) Glad to hear you have some bones and are not really starting from scratch in that case. Sounds great!! Oh, and do remember what Doris says. One must keep the priority of winter sowing. Check my seed list this coming winter and pick some goodies. I'd love to help out! |
Tiffy, thanks so much for offering seeds from your garden. YOUR pictures, with all those wonderful stone walls, always make ME drool! Especially your poppies and your astilbes (hint....). I've tried WSing astilbes and it never works, I don't know why. Doris, I just came from lblack's Ferry Morse sale thread. So I've got "buy some seeds" covered. I already have five shoeboxes full! Do I need more? No (yes, in a small voice) LOL I brought some seeds that I collected from my old garden, but there are a few things in the garden of this rental house we're living in that I'm going to try to gather -- some chocolate joe-pye weed, a couple of nice dark heucheras, and lots of lavender. So I'll be gathering seeds too! (I know, it's a sickness!) |

If it's any consolation, you are not alone, there are many other seed sickies running around out there, including me. I can't even walk by Norway Maple seeds without picking some up off the ground. I don't even WANT Norway Maples, they're not a good tree for this area, but do you think that registers in my brain? Of course not, a seed is a seed and I want them all, so into my pocket...LOL Mary |

Hey, Girl, you didn't e-mail me that you got the house. You sure are going to be WS this coming winter. Watch out, cause I've been holding seeds for you for next year and will be sending plenty of goodies too. Congrats, my "long last WS partner", now we got to figure out how we do this long distance. HMM, didn't you say something about coming east in the fall? are you flying or driving? Watch out if it's driving, I'll fill the car up with seedlings for you. Fran |
Fran, I sent you an email a couple of days ago, is it maybe in your spam? It looks like I will be flying back east in mid-August, and possibly in late October as well. We are still waiting for a signed acceptance from the seller, we have a verbal one. You have plants for me? I guess I could mail them back to myself.... Token, I've seen pictures of your cool brick house. You are doing wonders with the garden, but the house is cool too. LOL Mary. Here in the back yard of the rental house I have bigleaf maples. They are currently full of seeds waiting to fall. I don't even remember if there were bigleaf maples in the back yard of the new house, but I'm considering trying to grow them when the seeds fall here. |
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 29, 09 at 3:29
Dawiff, Oops, I found the e-mail and just answered it. Don't think sending back plants to yourself in August is a good idea. I'd worry that they wouldn't survive the trip in the summer heat, but Oct. will do it. I'll have all kinds of stuff for you though, but at the rate the weather is going, you may need an Ark to get around here. It is still raining and cool, but getting muggy and nothing is growing but the weeds. Oh, the lawn is too, what there is of it. Thinking of getting a herd of goats to take care of the lawn, a sickle isn't going to do it. Fran |
Woo Hoo! We finally got a signed acceptance from the seller today. We had a verbal acceptance, but we had to wait for a signed acceptance to schedule the home inspection and to get started on the financial stuff. So I am dancing in my chair right now! DH has started the ball rolling at the bank, locking in an interest rate, etc. I can't wait to get into this house and get started working on the garden. |
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 1, 09 at 0:43
Yeah, Yeah, Dawiff got a new house, and a new garden spread, and lots and lots and lots of land to fill up. Don't forget to save containers, get those deco paint pens, need those tags, and OH, yeah, seeds, i'll fill your beds for you with plenty of fresh seeds. Just one catch, though. You got to send us back east, some sun and some warm weather. Fran |
- Posted by tiffy_z5_6_can 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 2, 09 at 18:02
Fran, "... sun and warm weather." Oooh, that's a tall order. Hmmm, what are those anyway? :O) Dawiff, I'll save you seeds from the Astilbes. Got a really nice white one and some colours too. Great time to buy since I would assume interest rates would be low in the states too. Hope the inspection goes well!! |
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Thu, Jul 2, 09 at 21:38
Tiffy, tis true, it's a tll order, but can't hurt to ask can it? How about if we just get some dry weather and an occasional sighting of the sun for, maybe a total of 3 hours per day? We got to dry out soon before all we get to grow and harvest are mushrooms Fran |
Fran and Tiffy, I wish I could send you guys some sun and dry weather. It sure does seem like you got our rain. We have had an unusually dry June here, from what I hear the constant drizzle doesn't usually stop until some time in July. Oh, my, thanks so much for the offer of seeds from both of you. I need to go through my seeds and maybe throw out some from 2004.... |
Congrats on the house...are you Seattle/Tacoma area? I moved back to MA 7 yrs ago. from Lakewood WA( McChord AFB) You are gonna love gardening there. |

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi carbuyer159. this car has a spread of around $2,900 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Add to that the $2,000 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of it and you have around $4,900 to play with in your negotiations. The $4,800 discount that you mentioned that you are looking for is definitely possible...whether you will be able to find a dealer in your area that is willing to do it is a different story.

CANBERRA - Australia's Muslim lawmaker Ed Husic has been appointed as Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, becoming the first Muslim sworn into a federal government frontbench in the multicultural country.
This is a wonderful day for multiculturalism, and everything it stands for in our country, Governor-General Quentin Bryce told Husic as she swore him in and 24 of his Labor colleagues at a ceremony in Canberra, AAP news agency reported on Monday, July 1.
I wish you all the best as you serve our country as parliamentary secretary. She added to roars of Hear Hear! from his Labor colleagues.
Australia Gets First Muslim Woman MP Australia Honors Muslim Professor Kind, Generous Aussie Muslims Clear Image |
Husic, of Bosnian origin, is the first Muslim to be appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister and Parliamentary Secretary to the deputy Prime Minister in his capacity as the Minister for Broadband.
He was raised in western Sydney and attended Blacktown South Public School and Mitchell High School.
He has completed a BA (applied communications) in the first wave of students to graduate from the University of Western Sydney.
After his appointment, he said his parents, who came to Australia in 1966, and his wife Bridget were over the moon.
Husic also made history in 2010 when he was elected a member of parliament for western Sydney.
He took the oath with his hand put on a copy of the Noble Qur'an.
Another Muslim, Mehreen Faruqi of Pakistani-origin, also made history after being appointed in April 2013 as the first Muslim woman in the Australian parliament.
Community Help
A key supporter of the newly elected Australian PM, Husic vowed to connect people demands to the highest positions in the country.
I have supported Kevin Rudd from the start but never expected the appointments, Husic told Blacktown Sun newspaper.
It will allow me to pass on the views from people in my electorate to the two men holding the highest positions in Australia, he said.
Residents are worried their children can't do well in schools and parents of children with a disability are afraid they will lose out if Tony Abbott wins government,'' he said.
They also support the installation of broadband in western Sydney.''
Muslims, who have been in Australia for more than 200 years, make up 1.7 percent of its 20-million population.
Islam is the country's second largest religion after Christianity.

Friendly faces in the frozen north
Let's pretend for a moment that we could bring back any lore character for Wrath of the Lich King. Blizzard just walks up to you and says, "Hey, who do you want to see in Wrath?" They can be dead or alive, a major character or a minor NPC, whatever you want. If you could do that, who would it be?
My choice would be Justinius the Harbinger. Bring him to Northrend to kick in the Wrath Gate guarding Icecrown with his tauren friend Melgromm Highmountain. If you don't know who Justinius is, he's the super-awesome Draenei Paladin fighting the Burning Legion at the Stairs of Destiny, just beyond the Dark Portal. He looks quite awesome in his Judgement Armor, plus he's an all around cool guy. Just go watch him in action for a few minutes. He doesn't take crap from any demon.

I went to a talk a couple of weeks ago by David Francko, author of "Palms won't grow here", a book about pushing the hardiness envelope and growing "tropical" plants like palms, bananas, and oleanders in the ground even in the north (OK, he was talking about zone 6). I am not sure I am going to change my garden right away, but I am interested in growing a few of these.
And when I was at Goldner Walsh (a good local nursery) for their auction and plant sale yesterday, I could not pass up a good bushy "Nerium oleander, hardy yellow" for less than half price. It will stay in the greenhouse over the winter of course, I wouldn't plant it now. But I wonder who has experience with these outside in zone 6, maybe even zone 5? Are they hard to grow as container plants? Long blooming? Tell me about your oleanders, please. I'd love to see some pictures. |

Here they start do die when the temp get below -10C, so I have to protect them.. My Neriums have flowered from july and they're still flowering after a night with -0.9C . They flower the hole summer, but they're as you know very toxic. |
Oleanders will not live outside in my zone 5b - I bring them indoors at the end of October, where they promptly lose all their leaves, but that's ok, because they start re-leafing in March. |
- Posted by Wilmington_Islander 9A/Sunset 28 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 18, 04 at 9:26
For in ground, unprotected plants I would say it has to be at least a solid zone 8A...they are huge and everywhere in zone 8b. The leaves apparently get defoliated by the cold at 18-19 degrees and the plant begins to die @15 degrees. I have seen many that have taken repeated hard frosts in the low 20's with no damage whatsoever. |
I would agree with Wilmington Islander's rough estimates of hardiness. They are often seen thriving in California's central valley, which in the far northern reaches as you approach Oregon can get considerable cold in winter. They are most definitely a risk to plant if you regularly drop below 20F in winter, but may come back from the roots from 15F if they are mature plants. Here in California, they tend to show freeze damage at 25F or lower, although this may be a function of not having fully hardened off in fall as we often stay warm until the first killing frost in more inland locations. I wouldn't advise this as a good safe landscape plant below USDA zone 8b. They are very easy to grow as container plants, and if you can greenhouse them in winter and give them the full sun and heat they prefer in summer, they ought to do well as container plants. I would suggest that some of the dwarf cultivars, a pink and deep red are the two most common here in California, might be better choices to save space in the greenhouse. Maybe you should be thankful that they will never get 20 feet tall as they can here. You will also find that they are very subject to Oleander aphids(usually bright orange in color), which also attack Asclepiads/Butterfly Plants. |

My oleanders of common variety, sold in Home Depot-like stores, were badly damaged at -4oC during several nights(leaves mostly, even in sheltered spot). Had to pot them and bring them inside a week ago. |
- Posted by Mike_Marietta_SC_z8a z8a upstate SC (My Page) on Tue, Nov 23, 04 at 20:09
Some oleander cultivars are more cold tolerant than others. In the southeast US climate, "hardy pink", "hardy red", and "double yellow" appear to be the most cold tolerant. I'm growing "hardy pink" and "double yellow" here, where they have taken 11F with almost no leaf damage. Compared with the typical less cold hardy cultivars, the cold hardy cultivars tend to be shorter and more broader in their growth habit. The flowers of "double yellow" are fragrant. |
Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina carries many "tropical" plants that are relatively hardy. They've collected oleanders, palms and the like that have survived the most severe winters in the zones 7 & 8 of the South. Check them out. Not cheap, but they do have what you are looking for. |
- Posted by Las_Palmas_Norte Zone8 (My Page) on Sat, Jan 22, 05 at 21:57
No matter how hardy the variety you can get, they are brutal with snow loads. The crushing weight of the snow severely deforms their stature. A common problem with evergreens. Cheers, Barrie. |
I purchased a bright deep red oleander a few years ago at Wal-Mart. It is beautiful but I don't want to take a chance of it dying even in my area. It does well outside until Christmas in south Virginia. But then I bring it into an unheated porch until April. |
the double yellow variety is called Mathile Ferrier ..it only blloms one time in the early spring time .. another hardy one if you can find it ,is an orange variety called " FDR " check out the international oleander society site in Galveston Texas http://www.oleander.org/ and enough of the poisonous thing about them ,,, there are many plants that are also poisonous ... don't eat them |
I grew 'Double yellow in New York which survived 4 degree temps with some damage. I found an oleander from Wal-Mart in a New york yard that was planted on the north side of a house. it was untouched after a mild winter with a low of about 11 or 12 degrees! The variety was not listed on the tag. I may try oleanders again in my 7b climate in lower Cape May County, New Jersey. Good luck! Palmfan p.s Yes! I grow palms here! |
- Posted by Las_Palmas_Norte Zone8 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 15, 05 at 2:51
You may find some Nerium oleander that is suitably hardy for your garden, HOWEVER, these a plants are terrible with snow loads. They will lay over and stay that way long after the snow is gone. An overhead canopy would solve that problem. Cheers, Barrie. |
- Posted by diggerdane z6 MI (My Page) on Tue, Feb 15, 05 at 17:58
Zone 6 in SW Michigan, have wintered over yellow oleander from Plant Delights. No protection, dies back to ground, regrows weakly early summer, has never bloomed. I'm beginning to wonder ... what's the point? |
the double yellow oleander ,. Mathile Ferrier,,is the hardiest ,,however it only blooms once early in the season and the buds are formed the previous summer ,,should it ever bloom for you ,,it is the most fragrant of all ,,, oleanders are related to plumerias |
I have successfully overwintered mine with regular lows of 25-30 degrees and not much higher in the day. Under these cold/dry conditions (I don't water them over winter, well, maybe once on a mild day) they hold all foliage and get right back into geer once they go out (mid March, depending on the weather). I take them in some time in early December (before hard freezes). The only problem I have is that mine is too big and cannot be put into larger pot! For those in a similar position, yes you can take cutting. I take cutting in July or August and put them in moist sand (they'll root). |

My Oleander has come back this year, but of course we had a very warm winter this year. We will have to see what happens as far as blooming and all. |
My one oleander, an impulse buy on a trip to Sacramento, didn't survive record snows (although not record low temperatures that year) in 2004. There are enough other plants for me to fool with that I haven't gotten around to killing oleander a second or a third time. |
Old thread but I tried a home depot pink (exact variety ownknown) here in z7. It held up fine to an exceptionally heavy snowload but started browning in February. By spring it was completely dead. |
I've tried one in my garden here in relatively mild coastal Delaware (zone 8a), but it didn't make it this winter. However, 3 miles away in Rehoboth Beach there is a specimen out front of a B&B that has been there a few years. It gets more sun than my spot and is up close against the porch. I'll give it a try again this year with a similar, more protected spot in front of my porch. |
I have an unamed double pink in a pot which has been thorugh 3 winters outside with temps down to -5C on rare occasions. However, my problem is that the summer isn't hot enough for it to open its flowers fully. |

I bought a red one and planted it in the ground. I protected it with some x-mas lights and a frost cloth with a plastic trash bin and it survived with no damage. Now I think its starting to get ready to bloom again for the year, or at least make some new growth! They are pretty hardy plants, Mine went down to around 20F. |
Here in northern italy, in the alps oleanders seem to grow fine. I've seen oleanders growing in a town near here where the sun doesn't come out from November to January because of the mountains. Temperatures very often fall below -15C there. I have Oleanders in containers that have overwintered fine every year with temps below -10C. Maybe the plants here are more used to the cold. |

Here in Wichita Kansas I use Oleanders for summer color in my clients pots. They are fantasic, because they aren't truly tropical I usually put the ones I have overwinterred in unheated garages out long before true tropicals like Hibiscus can be brought out, often as early as late March, and always before the end of April. They don't start growing and blooming till the heat of summer sets in, but at least there is something attractive in their pots quite early in the season. I always try to leave them outdoors until the latest possible date as well. Often until early or mid December. This eases them into a semi dormant state. They still have ( and keep ) all of their leaves. I usually just move the pots into an unheated garage or outbuilding. As long as the temperature in the garage remains above 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and BELOW 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit the plants need little if any attention. I do however water the pots about once every 2-3 weeks. Just enough to keep the soil from completely drying out. Not too much, or you may encourage a break from dormancy. I have done this for many people, over the twenty or so years I have been a professional gardener, and have had minimal losses. ( no losses whatsoever as long as they aren't too dry ) Some of these plants have become HUGE. One client has two white treeform Oleanders that are almost 10 years old and approximately 3.5" in diameter. I have also, on rare ocassion had some of these plants overwinter in their pots outdoors. One particularly mild winter I had a large pink Oleander that I decided was too big to move indoors overwinter in a half whiskey barrel unscathed. It was as green in February as the ones in a clients heated greenhouse. Yes, some do go into greenhouses where they bloom all winter, and are covered with yellow aphids. As yet I haven't tried planting in the ground, but with careful siting and a mild first winter I am sure I could coax them to survive outdoors in Wichita. |

I live mid Vancouver Island Canada, I have 6 Oleanders 3 red and 3 white bought at Rona. The red ones began to look lose all the leaves mid november so I brought them inside and over the winter they became covered with crabby looking bugs..it seemed as tho the bark opened up and the bugs came out..then the rest of the leaves died.I put them out in MArch and the leaves came back and they flowered..so not sure what that infestation was. I want to plant them so will take the persons advice to put Christmas lights around them. Wondering if the Italian Alpine variety have a genus and perhaps I can find some of those.The scent is intoxicating and I think that is worth the babying:) |
well I just planted my oleander on the east, out side, I'm going to rap them with new paper and plastic, mulch and a big box on top. wish me luck see you next spring |
Wow...talk about an old thread. No oleander is truly hardier than about 7b at the very best, in the most sheltered spots; really it's more like 8a. And that's only for the hardiest cultivars. Even as far south as Virginia Beach they get killed to the ground about every 10-20 years. I think this winter would have severely damaged any non-hardy cultivars there, but they are seldom cultivated in borderline areas. The tender ones are so much nicer - larger, more fragrant flowers, longer blooming, etc. If you just want to grow one in a container, skip 'Hardy Pink' et al. BTW The areas in the Italian Alps with oleanders do not go below -15C regularly, they are in fact zn 8 or even zn 9 or 10 near or on the lakes. (Isola di Brissago has a mature norfolk island pine!) |
And btw it was funny around Lago Maggiore, in typical residential gardens I saw the rather boring hardier oleanders. Probably because the Italian nursery industry produces them in large quantities for the whole north of the country, like Milan and the Po Valley, which are generally zn 8. However all of the famous area gardens had HUGE examples of the tender, double, fragrant more tropical seeming oleanders...proving the overall mildness of the climate. (the gardeners of Isola Madre told me the typical winter low is -3C) |

Virginia "Faye" Hickman, beloved mother of Renee and Paul Bicknell, of Linthicum, Md., and devoted grandmother to Paul David, Sarah Elizabeth and Kieth Ulmer Bicknell, passed away suddenly in Baltimore on Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013.
She was born in Cleveland on July 4, 1928, to the late Fred and Clemmie Murray Hickman.
She will be missed by numerous family members in Cleveland including Danah and Donald Hindman, Darryl, Dickie and Don Jackson and special niece, Libby Faye.
She attended Bradley Central High School and worked in the atomic bomb plant in Oak Ridge before leaving for Baltimore in the '40s. She became an award winning multimillion dollar real estate agent for Long & Foster, after 40 years of working for the famous Haussner's Restaurant in Baltimore.
She loved traveling with her daughter and loved The Lord. She was blessed to have visited the Holy Land, the Vatican and the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal.
Services for her Catholic burial were at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Baltimore. She was interred at Oaklawn Cemetery next to her loving sister, Doris Ainslee. Though her body may rest in Baltimore, Faye's heart was always in Tennessee.
You are encouraged to share a memory of Faye and/or your personal condolences with her family here locally by visiting her memorial Web page at www.companionfunerals.com.
This obituary is submitted as a courtesy to the family by Companion Funeral Home and the Cody family.

Forty-three men have held the highest office in the United States, making up an exclusive club of statesmen and sinners, grinds and slackers, winners and losers, Boy Scouts and rogues. They are profiled in incisive and entertaining commentaries written by Vanity Fair contributors Judy Bachrach, David Friend, David Kamp, Todd S. Purdum, and Jim Windolf that tell of their deeds, plumb their characters, and dispense the essential dish about their personal lives. Portraits newly drawn by the acclaimed artist Mark Summers illuminate each of them as vivid individuals. Also included: revealing remarks-in the presidents' own words-showing what each really thought about the man who had preceded him in the Oval Office, an introduction by Graydon Carter, and a foreword by Washington insider Todd S. Purdum.
From George Washington to Barack Obama, here is a memorable chronicle of America's, and the world's, most powerful men, combining history, biography, art, politics, and gossip--and covering international affairs, domestic affairs, and . . . affairs of the heart--in one small, indispensable volume.

Congrats to Courtney Hennagir *I am a part of the Finish Power & Free Alliance of Moms and have been compensated by Finish® for these posts/promotions. All opinions are my own During the summer, I don't really like to spend a lot of my time cooking, in a hot kitchen. We do a lot of grilling outside, Slow Cooker meals, ordering out and stuff like that. I also enjoy finding good, EASY recipes to make that won't require a lot of time in the kitchen, over the stove for hours, type of meals. I found one and had to try it out. I am sure you have all heard of the 'One Pot Meal'? It was plastered all over Facebook about a month or so ago. Of course I had to try it out the day I saw it. It looked so simple to make and only required a few ingredients. I could totally make that, I thought! I was right. It turned out AMAZINGLY delicious! I think this recipe originated from Martha Stewart. I added my own personal touch, by adding more ingredients like the olives, green onions, … [Read more...]
My Family's Favorite Go-To Meals #CleanItForward #FinishMoms
*I am a part of the Finish Power & Free Alliance of Moms and have been compensated by Finish® for these posts/promotions. All opinions are my own. Does your family have a favorite go-to meal that is healthy and everyone loves? We do! We actually have a couple of go-to easy, healthy meals that we love to devour on a regular basis. The first one is Papa Murphy's Pizza. I love that you can go pick one up, watch them make it and it is fresh! We get healthy toppings like olives, tomatoes, chicken, artichoke, etc. Our second go-to meal is Balmi. Balmi is super delicious and the whole family enjoys it, even the next day. We always make a huge pot of it and man is it good! The Balmi is great because I can sneak in veggies like snow peas and celery. There is also pork in it which the kids love too. It is an easy meal and one that we make often! We try to buy our veggies locally during the summer. We buy our fruits at the local fruit stands and make awesome smoothies when it is … [Read more...]

Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta Recipe (Review)
During the summer I tend to keep cooking to a minimum around here. We have, however, been super lucky with our weather being that it has been sooo rainy, overcast and quite chilly! Our summer has not even started yet and it is July now! I get irritated, but then I look at all you lovelies that live elsewhere in the country, and I think, maybe I should not complain about our weather after all. Those temps scare me!!!! Anyways, getting back to the no cooking during the summer months... I try to make things that are easy and require little or no cooking. Ya, I am a bit lazy during the Summer :) I have tried (many times mind you all..) Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast and it is a regular ingredient in my pastas, salads and other dishes. Why? Because it is already cooked/prepared and I can then just add it to my meals!! See, no cooking and a yummy meal is born :) One dish that I ABSOLUTELY love (and yes, my mouth is watering as I type this) is my easy pasta dish. Oh my … [Read more...]

It's Never Good to Have Two Girlfriends on Valentine's Day
It's Valentine's Day around the world. It is a day when people shower their loved one with flowers, candy and jewelry. It's also a day of reflection when people look back at previous Valentine's days and remember the gifts they gave and the people who received them. I remember my first Valentine's Day in school in New York State.

Backyard Composting
Why compost? Because it's easy, natural, helps save money, improves the environment and saves space at the Central Landfill.
What is Composting?
Composting is the decomposition of organic material that occurs constantly in nature. It is a natural way to recycle yard trimmings and some food scraps that would otherwise be buried in the landfill. Composting changes these materials to produce a beneficial product that you can use on your lawn or in your flowerbeds and vegetable gardens. About 25-30 percent of the waste created in the home and garden is compostable material.
How Do I Get Started?
Click on our composting guides to the left, or contact the URI Master Composter/Master Recycler program to start your backyard composting experience!
Compost Bins Available for Sale
Backyard compost bins are available for purchase at our Administrative Offices (Building A), Monday through Friday, from 8:30-4:00. Our bins hold 11.5 cubic feet of material and are made from recycled content plastic. The bins are easily constructed, needing no tools, and only require approximately three feet of backyard space. They are $45 each, and we accept cash, checks or money orders made out to RIRRC.

In memoriam
The British Science Association remembers the following individuals:
Frank Ellis
1948 - 2008
It is with great sadness that we note here the death after a short illness of Dr Frank Ellis, Schools Liaison Manager at GlaxoSmithKline in Stevenage.
Frank was a tremendous enthusiast for the enrichment of school science and made huge contributions to the work of the British Science Association. He was particularly involved with the CREST Star Investigators scheme, helping with the funding proposal, the development of the project and the evaluation. In addition to CREST Star Investigators, Frank supported the regional and national science fairs, acting as a judge for the CREST awards. He will be sadly missed.
G Leslie Macdonald
1924 – 2007
Brought up in Glasgow, he loved telling of the time in secondary school when he went to his Headmaster and said that he wanted to do science, only to be patted on the head (at least metaphorically) and told to carry on with his Latin and Greek, and do science at university. He did so, but struggled to catch up with those who had already done science at school.
During the War, he worked for the Admiralty on the Clyde, and told of experimental homing torpedoes ending up in the gardens of those who lived on the banks of the river.
After the War he was still required to spend a period on 'work of national importance', but took the opportunity to find a post as a lab assistant at the Cavendish lab in Cambridge, which he was surprised to find was considered to qualify as being 'of national importance'. He learned X-ray crystallography and found it a hugely stimulating experience to be working for eminent physicists such as Lawrence Bragg and John Kendrew. At the end of this time, he was offered the opportunity to take a Cambridge science degree, which he took up enthusiastically.
From there he went on to work for the Mullard Company, which later became part of Philips, where he worked as an analyst, becoming an expert at electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray spectrometry, and related techniques. He would bring home electron micrographs of butterfly's wings and other wonders, which, along with his enthusiasm, readily stimulated an interest in science in both me and my sister.
