We at the CMPD Animal Care & Control respond to hundreds of calls involving wildlife. As Charlotte grows and the wildlife habitat is destroyed conditions are perfect for more human and wild animal interactions as well as pet and wild animal interactions.
For more safety tips around wildlife, click here to get a downloadable pamphlet.
Regardless of the type of wildlife in your area, the following tips can help keep you and your pets safe.
Do Not Feed Your Pet Outside
Do Not Leave Your Pets Outdoors Unattended
Protect YourselfIf your pet comes in contact with or is injured by a wild animal, protect yourself first!
Finally, consider removing habitat that provides protective cover for wild animals or their prey. This will dissuade wildlife from using the space as part of their territory or home range and will reduce the likelihood of conflicts.

A leading University expert will feature in a hard-hitting BBC documentary exploring life for a young hip-hop star growing up with a parent suffering from mental illness.
Professor Nick Craddock from the School of Medicine is featured in the forthcoming BBC documentary: Tulisa: My Mum and Me.
The documentary, part of BBC Three's Adult Season, examines the story of N-Dubz singer, Tulisa Contostavlos and her personal account of what life is like growing up with a mother suffering from a schizo-affective disorder.
Speaking during her visit to the University, Tulisa said: "Mental illness is a part of society. It doesn't mean someone's mad, it means they have a problem. It is good to know that people are recognising this and trying to find ways to help."
In an attempt to explain the hereditary nature of mental illness the programme will feature Tulisa's visit to Cardiff and her discussions with Professor Craddock.
Professor Craddock leads a major study of the causes and triggers of mood and psychotic illnesses, including schizoaffective disorder.
Professor Nick Craddock said: "Youngsters living with a parent who suffers from a mental illness can have an extremely difficult time. Often the stigma can be overwhelming and the upheaval untold.
"By making such an honest and revealing documentary like this, Tulisa's fame can help reach a new and often untouched audience and help break the stigma that can prove so overwhelming for youngsters living with a parent who suffers from mental illness."
Tulisa is not the only celebrity to have visited the University to consult Professor Craddock. Actor, writer and University Fellow, Stephen Fry came to the School of Medicine in 2006 to discuss his life with bipolar disorder and support Professor Craddock's research.
Former Atomic Kitten star and I'm a Celebrity…winner Kerry Katona visited Professor Craddock in 2009. He and his team also advised Eastenders on character Stacey Slater's battle with bipolar.
Professor Craddock is leading a number of key studies and would like to hear from individuals who have experienced one or more episodes of high mood (called mania or hypomania) at any time during their life.
Volunteers will be visited at home by a researcher who will ask about their experiences and symptoms as well as taking a small blood sample. Any information given would be in strict confidence.
Further information, is available by visiting the The Bipolar Disorder Research Network: www.bdrn.org or Bipolar Disorder: Your Guide: www.bipinfo.org.
The documentary – Tulisa: My Mum and Me – will be shown on BBC Three on Tuesday August 10.

EPA Recognizes LG Electronics; Panasonic Installs Solar in Ontario
Expanding its participation in the EPA Green Power Partnership to an organization-wide level in the United States, LG is now using nearly two million kWh of green power annually, which is enough to meet 11 percent of the organization's annual electricity use, up from 1 percent in 2011. This includes 100-percent green power for its US headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
LG is buying utility green power products from AEP Energy and ConEdison Solutions, including a combination of wind, solar and biomass.
LG is now an organization-wide EPA Green Power Partner. In 2012 and 2013, the EPA named LG Electronics Energy Star Partner of the Year for manufacturing energy-efficient products and helping to educate millions of consumers about those products.
In other news from a consumer electronics company, Panasonic business unit Panasonic Eco Solutions Canada has been awarded the contract to design and build two solar PV systems representing 500 kW for Central Huron's REACH Centre and Central Huron Community Complex in Clinton, Ontario.
The projects will use a total of more than 2,000 Panasonic Ontario-made solar panels, and the system is expected to generate more than 800 MWh annually. Both solar PV systems are scheduled to be constructed by fall 2013.
Both solar PV systems will be designed in accordance with the respective Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) contracts associated with the two locations and the Ontario FIT Program. The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) developed the FIT Program to encourage and promote a greater use of renewable energy sources for electricity generation, including solar PV systems.
Recently, the province decided to replace the existing large project category of its FIT program with a competitive procurement process for renewable projects over 500 kW.
For the Central Huron solar portfolio, Panasonic is working with Evergreen Power. In addition to the solar panels, the installation includes Panasonic TV monitors in the lobbies of both buildings with direct links to a Central Huron branded solar portal. The monitors will provide educational information about solar, as well as display the amount of energy that the solar panels are generating on each site.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you've likely heard of the controversial (and best-selling) romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey, either through whispers from friends, the media debates about the novel's BDSM content, or by glimpsing the cover over and over in the hands of women looking for a little fantasy while taking the train to work.
Whether you're a hardcore fan, a frustrated foe, or simply ambivalent about the novel's writing and content, it's hard to deny the fact that certain sexual scenarios detailed in the book sound incredibly enthralling. For those of you interested in bringing the fantasies depicted in the book into reality with your partner, you can do so -- for a price.
Several Seattle and Portland hotels are trying to keep up with reader fantasies while capitalizing on the fact that the novel is set in the Pacific Northwest by offering luxury vacation packages centered upon locations and experiences in the book. Helicopter ride around Seattle? Check. A picnic and the male protagonist's favorite wine? Check. All yours for a mere two grand for two nights. And that doesn't even include the bondage gear.

World's Most Beautiful Museums
MAS Museum: Antwerp, Belgium
Architects Neutelings and Riedijk alternated between red sandstone from India and glass panes to give this riverfront museum a distinctive look that's modern even as it recalls the 16th-century storehouses used in Antwerp's old port. The connection to the city is in the details as well: if you look closely at the 203-foot-tall building, you'll see 3,185 silver hands, the symbol of Antwerp. The vertical "boulevard"—a series of elevators that follow the glass spiral of the building—provides sensational new views of the harbor and rooftop from every level and leads to the rooftop, open until midnight.

I before E, except after C, or when getting a tattoo and putting it on Instagram for everyone to see.
(via Bleacher Report)
Just when Brandon Knight thought it was safe to lay low and let things blow over, someone has to get DeAndre Jordan to gleefully recreate his dunk over a fake Brandon Knight. Worst year ever.
With the dust mostly settled on this offseason's player movement — and there was a whole lot of it this year — it's time to take stock of all the fascinating new faces in new places, as well as the more compelling stories of players who will face new challenges while sticking around. Over the course of the next few weeks, Andrew Unterberger will do a team-by-team look at the most interesting players going into next season — one new to the team, and one returning — as we all try to pass the dog days of NBA-less summer, dreaming of hoops-filled months to come. The series continues today with the teams in the Central Division: the Bulls, Cavaliers, Pistons, Pacers and Bucks.
Most Interesting New Player: Tony Snell
Not a ton to choose from here, obviously — it's Snell, fellow rookie Erik Murphy, and reserve sharp-shooter Mike Dunleavy, now about a team away from officially reaching journeyman status. Murphy seems unlikely to make a huge impact, Dunleavy's impact will be decent but predictable, but Snell intrigues me. From his play in Summer League, he looks a lot like budding Spurs star Kawhi Leonard, and I of course mean that in the most literal sense — with his dreads, tall but slight build, and expressionless demeanor, there's probably not a better physical comp in the league for Leonard than Snell. But he also looks like he could maybe provide a good poor man's facsimile of Leonard's skills: solid three-point stroke (39 percent his final season at UNM), long and athletic wing defender (6-foot-7 for a nominal shooting guard), toughness to spare. We'll see if it actually pans out as such, but from the little I saw, I was impressed.
In general, I was also impressed with the way the Bulls basically oriented their entire offseason around one simple strategy: improving their outside shooting. Maybe not all of Snell, Murphy and Dunleavy will end up being legit contributors to the team, but if two of them do, that's a simple dimension added to the Bulls' attack that simply wasn't there last season, when Jimmy Butler and the departed Nate Robinson were the only outside threats of any consistency. Nothing too sexy, but you never know when an outside shot or two could make the critical difference in an Eastern Conference playoff game, even a whole series. Definitely better to have than not have.
Most Interesting Returning Player: Derrick Rose
Would've loved to say Jimmy Butler here, since I'm fascinated to see if he can continue the improvement of his breakout season and become the near-All-Star contributor I feel he might could be, but c'mon. There'll be no bigger story the first month of the season — with the possible exception of Dwight's first games in Houston, but I can certainly tell you which of the two I'm more excited for — than D-Rose's return to the Bulls lineup after a full year's absence. I practically had heart palpitations when they announced that the first TNT game this year was going be the Rose-led Bulls against the two-time-defending Heat — there might not be a better opening night matchup possible than those two old foes squaring off with both sides finally back at full strength.
Can a fully healthy Derrick Rose lead the Bulls past the Heat in the East playoffs? For now, I'm still pretty skeptical, but to have one more legitimate challengers to the throne — in a season where there are already one or two other credible contenders on the far side of the map as well — should certainly make things more interesting (and less depressing), for the regular season and beyond. I can't wait.
Aside from the perennially underpaid and underappreciated Matt Barnes, and the usual brand of streaky offense from Jamal Crawford, the Clippers lacked sorely for production from the wing positions last season. This would have been their single biggest weakness if it wasn't for their complete absence of an offensive playbook. Caron Butler has declined to the point that he is scant little more than a spot-up shooter at this point, and despite finally adding three point range, Willie Green is much the same. Compounding the problem is the fact that, Barnes, seemingly the only player who knew how to cut and get open for the league's best passer, is an unrestricted free agent with mere non-Bird rights.
Without cap room and yet also without all that much wiggle room under the tax, the Clippers needed to rebuild this rotation. Their lack of wing quality was exposed against the Grizzlies, and notwithstanding the lack of a backup center (and the less-than-reliable nature of the starter), it was a priority on a roster entirely set at two positions. And in Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick, the Clippers have achieved exactly that in one fell swoop.
Dudley and Redick aren't athletic. They aren't dynamic, they aren't brilliant at any one thing (except perhaps Redick's shooting), and they aren't primary options you turn to on either end. But they're just … good. They get it. The two are high IQ players with no distinct holes in their game, who defend with guile rather than physical tools, and who fit every great-teammate, great-role-player cliché going. They move the ball, make few mistakes, and, along with Reggie Bullock, provide the spacing lost in Butler along with bringing more well-rounded games and better perimeter defense.
It cost them their two best assets to do it, but the Clippers improved their team in what was almost a financial wash. Moving Bledsoe for players who aren't and never will be stars may feel deflating to those with higher aspirations, yet the value of the returning duo must not be overlooked. The Clippers got what they needed. Without having a single star in it, L.A. has assembled a wing rotation with good depth and few holes, exactly the kind of thing you want to flank a superstar point guard with. If they can convince Matt Barnes to sign for far below his market value for the seventh straight season, even better. Combining this with the enormous coaching upgrade from Del Negro to Rivers, and the biggest news of all in getting Chris Paul to re-sign, has significantly improved the Clippers's fortunes for the foreseeable future. Now, they just need some depth.
I'm not going to lie to you — when I used "Giannis Antetokounmpo" in the title of this post, I copy-and-pasted it so that I didn't mess it up. And honestly, I did it again in that previous sentence. And to be even more honest, I'll probably keep doing that unless he becomes such a notable guy in the NBA that I accidentally memorize how to spell it whenever his name comes up.
And you know what? I don't feel bad about it, mostly because I know I'm in the same boat as the guy who just drafted him in to the NBA. From the Milwaukee Sports Journal:
It's a name difficult to pronounce, even for the man who drafted the newest Milwaukee Bucks player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
"After the draft, probably 11:30," Bucks General Manager John Hammond said, "I said to (Media Relations Director) Dan Smyczek, 'can you forward that pronunciation to me?' Yeah. So…we're doing our best."
For the record, Giannis Antetokounmpo is pronounced [YAHN-is anh-teh-toe-KUHN-po], but for now , simply "Giannis" will probably suffice when addressing Antetokounmpo.
A little digging shows that Giannis "CTRL-C, CTRL-V" Antetokounmpo, whenever he makes it to the NBA, may have the longest single last name (Chris Douglas-Roberts doesn't count) in the NBA since this guy messed around for the Cavaliers half a decade ago. So really, you can't blame John Hammond for not knowing the pronunciation, because it's basically impossible to keep all those vowels and consonants straight in the first place, let alone trying to figure out how they actually relate to each other. Plus, when you consider league officials didn't even know how to correctly spell his name until a month before the draft, I think this is a pretty forgivable offense.
The person I really feel bad for in all of this, however, is the equipment manager in charge of stitching the names on the backs of the Bucks' jerseys. Between Antetokounmpo, Mbah a Moute and Ilyasova, they've got their work cut out for them. And if Samuel Dalembert and Joel Przybilla somehow find their way back in to the fold? Yikes.
Click here for a full-sized version of this newspaper clipping from a 1972 recap of a game between the Bucks and SuperSonics, then please explain to me why Kareem-Abdul Jabbar didn't change his shorts at halftime. Even Kevin Seraphin isn't that silly.
(via Uni Watch)
If you've managed to catch any of the Bucks-Heat series thus far — and if so, hopefully you're turning every game off after three quarters — you've probably heard mention of something Milwaukee point guard Brandon Jennings said about the series a couple days before the playoffs started. The quote came from the Wisconsin Sports Awards ceremonies, where Jennings was presumably asked about the Bucks' upcoming first round series against the heavily favored Heat. His take on the series? "I'm real confident. I'm sure everybody is writing us off but but I see us winning the series in six."
After the Bucks lost the first two games of the series in Miami — by a combined 35 points, with Jennings shooting 31 percent — the over-confident point guard was given a chance to retract his initial prediction. He respectfully declined. "I still say six," he told Craig Sager. "I think we just showed so much [in Game Two]. We just let it slip towards the end … but as a team, we showed a whole lot of improvement." Brandon looked a little nervous while giving the interview, perhaps, and did allow that the Bucks' victory in six "might take a little longer," but for the most part, he held strong in his initial bold prediction.
Well, after last night's Heat victory in Milwaukee — which, like the first two contests, was a game for about three quarters, until the Heat hit the NOS and just sped away, as they are wont to do — Jennings' prediction is officially a bust. There's still a chance that the Bucks come back to take the next four games — though it's not a particularly big one, considering no team has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit in NBA postseason history, and if it ever does happen, it probably won't be a team as average as the Bucks doing it against a team as outstanding as the Heat — but no matter what happens from here, Bucks in Six is officially a no go.
So the question then becomes: Do we get to make fun of Brandon Jennings for this yet? His prediction was basically laughable from the get go, but there was always that tiny chance that he and the Bucks had been playing possum for the entire season, or that he knew of some secret weapon the Bucks were about to unleash on the Heat for the series (Drew Gooden?), or maybe just that he was going to hire someone to whack LeBron James in the back of the leg with a crowbar in the locker room before Game One and then say mean things to Chris Bosh on the way out. Now that three games have passed and none of those things appear to have been the case, it seems like a pretty good time to start pointing and laughing at No. 3 for Milwaukee.

Vote or shut up
I have done my civic duty. I have voted in Tuesday's election even though it is not yet Tuesday. I will be on a plane much of Tuesday so, thanks to absentee balloting, I have done my small but necessary part in the democratic process.
For the most part, I have voted in every election from the time I was eligible to cast a ballot. In 1972, I was near the end of my tour as a U. S. Marine and voted for Richard Nixon for President. In the aftermath of Nixon's scandals, I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976. I, like many people, was looking for a change. When the Carter years brought the wrong kind of change (in my opinion), I voted for Ronald Reagan. Over the years, I have decided that I am a conservative, pro-life, Independent. I vote those values, whoever is running.
It is estimated that less than 50 percent of registered voters will make their voices heard in the coming election. If so, that is a shame, whatever their political leanings.
Many years ago, I was in a group of men listening to a political discussion. One man was especially passionate about the ills of the country and how the powers that be were failing the citizens. One man asked the passionate individual, "So, who did you vote for?" The outspoken man replied that he had not voted in many years because it really didn't matter.
The man who posed the question said, "Well, h***, you don't have a d*** thing to say about it then," and turned and walked away. With that, the discussion was over and the group dissolved.
That's my thought about people who don't vote as well. If you don't vote, then just sit down and shut up. You had a chance to make a difference, however small, and you chose to ignore the opportunity.
It is the experience of most pastors with whom I am acquainted that the people who gripe and complain the loudest in church are usually those who have the least investment. Not always, of course, but usually.
Those who invest their time, their efforts, and their tithes are normally those who are eager to see the church succeed and are among the most positive about the ministry and the future.
Those who rarely attend, never volunteer, and padlock their checkbooks are often among those who attend annual business meetings and bemoan the fate of the church.
I suspect the same is true in politics. The people on both the left and on the right are passionate ... sometimes to the point of being obnoxious ... but at least they are engaged. They are doing something about what they perceive to be the problems. They are not sitting on the sidelines letting someone else always carry the ball and then griping when a player on the field fumbles.
In every election, we have an opportunity to have an influence. If we don't like the results, we have an opportunity to fire those in office and replace them with someone else the next time around. As has been said, "Elections do have consequences." We really do get who and what we asked for by electing people to office.
Or, we sit home and let someone else make those decisions for us. Those who vote have done their part. Those who don't just need to shut up.

I'm struggling with this one. Perhaps the Libertarian.
Too bad we don't have Herman Cain on the ballot. After his failed Senate race, I tried to get him to run for Lt Gov--which I truly blv he could have won easily, giving him a clear path to the Governorship. Oh yes, I voted for Deal. I blv he IS a fiscal conservative, even if he doesn't apply it to his personal life. And he knows he'll be under serious scrutiny.
What is a fiscal conservative? Reagan who put us in debt five trillion, or Bush, jr., who added another six trillion?
Deal voted for all republican spending bills! No democrat bills.
He mouths conservatism for votes, but is no better than any other "former" congressman in that area.
In Georgia, as governor, he will whack budgets (wrong items) and destroy more than Perdue has.
He will do nothing for Georgia's poor schools, nothing for our water problems, nothing about Atlanta and Fulton and Clayton County, and nothing about our crooked transportation outfit and Insurance regulations.
He will be gathering votes for "four more" as soon as elected. He also has to make some money someway!!!
I can't see why anyone would vote for this guy. In 8 yrs our Gov Sunny has only made himself wealthy & I for the life of me can't figure out why he isn't the subject of an investigation. AnyDeal is already obviously worser. I don't think Barnes's 4 yr record is that bad. He lost to Sunny because he po'd the teachers & he po'd the Confederate "Flagelets" (AND then Sunny stabbed them in the back). If you want to vote for the stay-at-home dad go ahead. I'm all for making maryjane legal & his other planks.
Vote for the DEM in the Attorney Gen's race. Guy is a prosecutor, all the major law enforcement supports him. His repub opponent is a politician of a record for wasting money...Check out the 2 jackasses he bought & saddeled Cobb Co with.
Do you investigate Govs for having multiple yrs of balanced budgets? Sure won't have to worry about that at the Fed level.
It is possible to run a deficit budget in GA? Whatever you or I think about Washington has little to do w/ this election. I guess if you want to look that way, how will AnyDeal govern at the state level after being part of multiple fed budgets that have fought a war w/ deficits? No offsets, only tax cuts for the wealthy during wartime.
You and observer and others who say no to both, will vote republican and you know it.
Just because you want another choice for a republican vote doesn't excuse you for voting for this guy! He is a shame to GA!
The Broom Handel would have been better than Sarah Palin, however.
Don't be so sure. I suspect there are several on this board that don't like either one. Like I said, I just might write in your moniker.
I'm sure!
I think that if you started to press the X by any other name than a republican, you would actually faint right there.
Duplicate post
Have to vote for the Libertarian, the other two are, well let's say "established".
Keep in mind who is really on the ballot.
Seven Obama lies in 2 minutes
But I think I'm going to write-in "Courthouse" for governor.
I have already voted. But not for me.
I voted for Steve Brown just in case he forgets to vote for himself. Isn't he a republican? Does he like the TEAS?
I also voted for 2 other republicans, several democrats, and no judges with no competition. Didn't know a one of the libertarians.
I wasn't sure about Mr. Deal. Isn't he likely to go to jail? Something about falsifying tax forms and going bankrupt when he wasn't?
He needs a better job than what a Governor makes....unless there are some land deals like Perdue found.
Not true. I can vote or not vote. No one's business.
All those who vote for the party and not the person spoil it anyway!
If I were to vote, say democratic, it wouldn't mean I like abortions---now would it?
If I vote Republican it wouldn't mean I don't think women have that choice, now would it?
My vote means, as an Independent voter, that I like mostly what one candidate espouses and has done, better than the other one---that is all.
That is why I hate primaries. If I like the candidate for one party and vote for him, I am forced to vote for that party in the election, even if my primary candidate didn't make it!! Stupid. Primaries are stupid.
As to tithes, Pastor, if a church has 300 members who average salaries of $50,000 dollars, then you take in $1,500,000 a year!
What do you do with all that money?
Please don't explain that each family is different and excused and many don't make that much, and some owe too many debts, and some are sinning, and, and, and. (I know a family is 3-4 people, but so is the 50K low).So is the 300!
Just what is the percentage in actuality?
My old church got 2.5% due to some rich ones for tax purposes buying bricks and mortar with their name on it.

I am thinking of getting a couple of Pink Turtleheads to plant in my front yard along with my Astilbe and Hydrangeas. Has anyone here had experience with this perennial? Does it flower well? Is it high maintenance? What are it's ups and downs? What other shade plants would you plant it with? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, I love turtlehead! The blossoms are so cute! It's very low maintenance - I planted one ten years ago and never touched it again until it finally diminished after about six years, so I planted a new one that's still going strong. I don't have mine in shade, though - it's in my very wet yard, and doesn't seem to mind wet feet at all. Maybe the wet is what lets it tolerate the full sun? I would definitely say if you have damp ground, it should do well. Mine is planted alongside astilbes (in part shade) and hostas, so if those do well in your yard, I'm thinking chelone will, too. |
- Posted by coolplantsguy z6 Ontario (My Page) on Tue, Apr 20, 10 at 16:12
I use to love mine as well -- one called C. lyonii 'Hot Lips', planted in with Hosta, ferns and Toad Lilies. It's not a "wow-plant" -- just a subtle beauty in the fall garden. And native too! |
Good! In my experience, it's been able to tolerate sun, shade, drought and even black walnut trees. I agree it's not a "wow," but it's a nice plant nonetheless. |
Not good, not bad - but excellent! I have "Hot Lips" and it performs really well for me. Foliage is neat and tidy all season, then about late August or so (sometimes a bit earlier) they cover themselves in those gorgeous rosy-pink blooms. Speads at a moderate pace if happy to form good-size colonies, but not invasively so. I have mine in partial shade, average soil. They will not perform well in soil that is too dry. |

Oh, this is making me so sad. Never had any luck with my C. oblique :-( In fact, I think it is dead, lol. CMK |
Well I have the hydrangeas which in my opinion are show stoppers and I need something to bloom in the fall so it seems that it will be an excelent choice. Thank you all for responding. |
I started some from seed years ago, and planted one of them just to see what they were like. I can't say we've ever had to do one thing to it. It just minds its business and comes back and blooms. I think the flowers are interesting and the foliage decent. Mine is in dry dappled sunlight planted under the snags of an old black locust tree in hard clay soil. |

Mine spread like mad - I would think twice before putting in a garden bed. The white flowered version behaves just fine, but the pink flowered one takes over. |
Gotta garden, were yours planting in sun or shade? What kind of soil? Thanks. |
- Posted by gottagarden z5 western NY (My Page) on Sun, Apr 25, 10 at 15:10
Mine are in full sun, rich garden soil. I am ripping it out by the bushelfull this spring. I put it in a "thug bed" with beebalm, obedient plant, the spreading yarrow, campanula punctata, coneflower, etc. Turtlehead won hands down. |
wow gottagarden, you were so daring to plant those thugs together to duke it out! i wish i had room enough for such an experiment! |
gottogarden - Bravo! Luv,luv,luv mine - originally planted 2 pots between 2 Quacking Aspens ... Chelone aka Hot Lips, won as well! 1 Q Aspen casualty of a tornado & the other of old age (20-lifespan)! Of the 2, Q Aspen is a pain ... 'am still dealing w/ wandering roots & suckers! €:( I'm w/ mxk3! €;) After 20+ years we just now, dug up 2'x3' for a friend's garden! (Whence found 3 huge roots of Q Aspen ... grrrr! &&& like dirtdiver's patch - tolerated all the above enumerated, but the Blk Walnuts, instead the old-age drooling of Q Aspen (sticky blackish sap!) ugh! I love bees ... bees love them ... & I love her name Chelone! What's more, Jack-in-a-Pulpit, found his way to preach in her midst & drunken bees listen!!! |
Wow! Ditas, you have completely convinced me that I made a good choice ordering three of these, haha. I love your enthusiasm. |
Thanks I think! - This gardening *enthusiasm* in my DH's Thesaurus is synonymous w/ *Glut for Punishments* - I have several beloved *invaders* as well as flowering *Divas* that I invited in our piece of soil & enslave to!!! If you were anywhere near you didn't have to send for 3 pots of lovely 'Chelone'! Make sure to allow room to stretch, OK? The kidney shaped bed I created eons ago ,was a mere 12'x4' (give or take). I planted a Forever & Ever Hydrangea at one end - a few yrs aft tornado claimed Q Aspen #1. 3 yrs ago was when we took the sap-drooling old 1 - sun didn't faze Hot Lips but Jack grew a small family & the yung-uns complained. So as soon as I'm certain Q Asp. does not show his shadow again - I've dug up & potted my Sweet Autumn, Clem & I plan to create a trellis for her in the vacant lot to climb on ... nothing fancy - just a tiny church/steeple for *Preacher Jack* & family!!! Have fun w/ the new tenants when they arrive! |
Ditas, oh boy did I have new tenants and even though I left plenty of space they moved into their neighbors properties, I found one trying to grow in the midst of my Annabelle. So.... Off with their heads! JK, I am moving them to the back yard along the back fence where it is somewhat shady. Hope the horses don't munch on them but it's them or my hydrangeas and well you can guess which one I prefer. They are lovely plants but they did reseed at an alarming rate and I like to minimize my work load in the garden not add to it. We will see how they do in their new location and I'll decide next year if I will keep them or not. |
Melaroma - Thanks for the follow-up on how this plant performed for you. I try to avoid planting voracious reseeders and I have considered this plant, so am interested in generally where you are so I can judge the relevance of your experience to my garden. Are you midwest, far west, or eastern? Or alternatively what soil type (clay, loam, or sandy, and acid, neutral, or more alkaline?) It is always fascinating to me how differing growing conditions affect the seeding and growth patterns of so many plants. |

I grew Chelone/white turtlehead from seed via winter sowing last year and it bloomed 1st year. I was a little surprised it bloomed since it only grew about 8-10 inches tall. This year it was up almost as soon as the snow melted. I also have it growing in dappled sun on a north slope and will be interested in seeing how it behaves. I gave it plenty of room until I know its habits. |
I am in zone 5 in UT with Loam soil and they are planted in half shade. I planted them last year and they came in a 1 gallon pot. Here are pictures of how they spread this year. Here is how they looked when planted: Here you can see how they have spread. In this last one you can see it growing in the middle of my tulips and border of my Jacob's ladder. If it spread like this on the first year I can't imagine how it will do next year! |
melaroma ~ it's a good thing you decided to move Chelone from the situation shown in your pix ~ she'll weave her way into every little inch of soil between your other treasures there. She'll fill the place in no time just like Threadleaf Coreopsis would! I thin my Chelone/Hotlips plantation as needed ~ even installed a wire fencing wall to keep the new citizens from moving into F&E's small territory at one end of this island. No kidding Chelone territory is a forest ~ a friend's DH dug up a third TG ~ but still love my Chelone country!!! |
You know... I kinda decided to leave it there after looking at it again. I know that I should move it but I really like this plant. If I just break off the unwanted volunteers will they come back? |
I started reading this thread last week, since I planted some chelone in a wet bed last fall. I just realized this morning, as I opened GW and clicked on this thread to read the new comments, with an incredibly sinking feeling, that I may have just yanked the plant last evening, thinking it was a weed because I didn't remember planting anything in that spot. Son of a gun! Sigh.... :( |
Melaroma ~ You still have time as your Cheloney lyonii population is still small & manageable. D'you know that I never considered self-sowing as a greater attribute for her aggressive spreadability as for her might at weaving her roots, very much like my July blooming Coreopsis that I have to discipline closely as well ~ you can see in this album I plucked from my file just for you. Also since this pix a good 4th of the 10ft C forest was dug up for a friend F&E is a lot happier since! Hi diggerdee ~ if only you are close by we could dig up clumps & create an instant li'l forest for you - honestly! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Chelone few years ago
Wow those pictures of your chelone are gorgeous! Maybe i sould move them to the back where there is more space. Ill have to tackle that tomorrow. I was also wondering if deadheading the plant at some point might help control the new tenants. Diggerdee, im sorry to hear that. We all make mistakes. Early this spring I was in a snipping frenzy when trying to tidy up my beds and accidentally snipped off a huge portion of my clematis! I had read somewhere that some can be pruned back and others recent it. I trimmed this one down pretty low and my heart sank when I realized what I did. Did you yank the whole thing out? |
Hi Melaroma ~ An update on Chelone Island ~ finally built the simple trellis/arbor (of plasti-coated posts & garden wire fencing) for Clem-Autumn Joy to climb over & eventually shade F&E/ES H. As I mentioned earlier I gave a friend 2ft-worth of Chelone ~ so far the wire barricade held her back w/ a bit of pulling & up rooting ones now & then ~ too bad Diggerdee is not close by! I'm potting some for a friend w/ disclaimers!!! LOL I'm also trying to control the other end to keep them in the center of the island ~ fingers crossed!!! You could try & let me know ~ however these guys are rhizomatous more than self sowing. |
I noticed that on Sunday when I was transplanting them. I ended up dividing mine and breaking off the new shoots that were coming from the sides and under. I do have to say that they are tough guys as I dug them up last Wednesday and was not able to put them in the ground until Sunday due to a week straight of pouring rain. They were a bit dry by Sunday though since Saturday was sunny and they were just sitting out (I know, I know). They look lush and happy now in their new yet temporary home as I do not have a bed where I can put them in yet. I guess I will just have to create a new bed just for them... Oh the sacrifice ;) I wonder what else I could plant there... heehee |
Melaroma, I yanked that sucker out roots and all, lol! But maybe after some of the comments here, I won't regret it - I didn't realize it was such a spreader! I haven't been back to this garden yet (it's a friend's garden) so I will have to check and see if it was indeed the chelone that I yanked. I'm still hoping it was not the chelone, but I now know to keep an eye on it if it's still there! Dee |
- Posted by hostaholic2 zone 4 MN (My Page) on Tue, May 24, 11 at 22:54
I have chelone "Hot Lips" growing in morning sun afternoon shade in rich clay loam and over a period of 10 years it has spread to form a nice clump. It has never shown any tendency to run.'Hot Lips' is a variety of chelone lyonii and seems to be well behaved. I haven't grown chelone obliqua or glabra (white) but from what I've read on various sites obliqua seems to be a vigorous spreader and seeder. |

WASHINGTON, September 2, 2013 — Since Adam and Eve, lines of Biblical authority have flowed through the men in the family. After they ate from the one forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden, Genesis 3:16 says of the woman Eve, "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
In verse 17, the ground is cursed because Adam listened to his wife and tried the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil at Eve's suggestion.
SEE RELATED: Secret knowledge: The basis of religion
The surety of death for both Adam and Eve is the culmination of the curse given in the end of verse 17.
Most Bible narratives support the idea that the authority in the family belongs to the family patriarch. The twelve tribes of Israel were named after the sons of Jacob, later named Israel. Daughters were less desired in the agrarian society of the Hebrews because they were not as fit for war or farming in an age when most combat was hand-to-hand, and most farming was brutally physical work.
This doesn't mean women didn't take part in the religious life of the Hebrews. This is made obvious in the beautiful story of Ruth in the Old Testament.
Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi had returned home from Moab after their husbands had both died. Naomi's other widowed daughter-in-law, Orpah, had stayed behind in Moab.
SEE RELATED: Khabar Lahariya: Women run, local language newspaper creates waves
When Ruth and Naomi returned to Israel, they hoped for a kinsman redeemer, a near relative to take them in and to marry one of them and provide a male son through them to extend their family name and lineage.
They were not expected to remain on their own or to be left homeless. Their male relatives were to take responsibility for the women in this case. The nearest male relative was required by Hebrew law to take them in and provide food and lodging until a male heir was born and raised to support the mother and the family.
The kinsman redeemer would assume responsibility for them and be given authority in their situation. Men were considered lawbreakers, or at least irresponsible, if they did not rise up an heir and provider for a widow of near kinship.
In the Bible, whenever someone takes responsibility for a person, object or situation, God gives them authority in that area. The inverse is also true. When Adam and Eve were not responsible in their charge from God to avoid the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they lost their position of authority over the garden of God.
SEE RELATED: Women are now top earners in 40 percent of families
The same principle holds true today. With God, authority follows responsibility.
Naomi's daughter-in-law Ruth was instrumental in finding both of them provision in Israel. As Ruth worked the fields, she found someone who would take responsibility for them as well as provide for them — Boaz, a wealthy kinsman farmer who fell in love with the young widow Ruth.
Another kinsman was first in line to take responsibility or redeem Ruth, but his estate was already settled, so he opted out and Boaz took his place. Authority had to be transferred by handing over a sandal as a symbol of the transfer.
This happened with the elders assembled at the city gates.
Ruth, a foreigner, married Boaz and became an extremely important part in the biblical narrative. From this union came the grandfather of Israel's King David, and later in the lineage, Jesus Christ himself.
There are numbers of cases where men in the Bible were irresponsible and women took over. When Moses ignored God's command to circumcise his son, an angel stood in the road waiting to kill Moses for disobeying.
Moses's wife, Ziporah, took responsibility and circumcised their son, and there was a special respect for her from then on out in the scripture.
Deborah appears in the Book of Judges in the Old Testament as a prophetess and a judge who "held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came to her to have their disputes decided (Judges 4:5 NIV)."
Wow! A woman was the chief judge over the whole country. That is some kind of authority! Deborah gave a prophetic pronouncement to Barak in her authoritative role as a prophetess, another position of authority, to go and attack Sisera, a Canaanite commander.
Barak wouldn't go unless Deborah agreed to go with him, even though he was obviously a recognized military commander of the Israelites.
Deborah's agreement to go along came with a condition: the honor for defeating Sisera would go to a woman. One would think that Deborah was speaking of herself, but she wasn't. Sisera's troops were defeated as Deborah had said, but Sisera fled to a friendly area and went into a friend's tent welcomed by the friend's wife, Jael.
When Sisera asked for water, Jael gave him milk and he fell asleep exhausted. The great Sisera's end came as he lay sleeping and exhausted as Jael drove a tent peg through his temple into the ground. Another woman bests a man and fulfills God's plan in the process.
The story of Abigail, an obviously submissive wife, is found in Samuel 25. The soon-to-be king, David, had been careful to take care of those within territory he had taken in battle. One farmer and landholder named Nabal had been under David's protection and David sent servants to ask for provisions from this man who summarily rejected them even though David had protected Nabal and all he had.
When Abigail found out about it, she gathered enough food for David's small army and headed toward his lines. He was coming to destroy Nabal and all that he had when Abigail met him. She took responsibility for the negligence of her husband and David spared her, her husband, and her property.
Nabal spent the night drunk and the next morning, Abigail told him what had happened and he immediately had a stroke and "became like a stone," dying about ten days later.
When David heard this, he took Abigail as a wife, obviously because of her character and wisdom.
She achieved position and saved her own life and estate because she took responsibility to make things right.
There are many other examples in scripture of women being given authority in God's plan because they were willing to take responsibility and be obedient to God's will and purpose.

On April 4, Easter morning, while many church members are dressing up in their Sunday best, nearly 5,000 pastors from different denominations across the country will be attending church shoeless to raise awareness for impoverished children without shoes.
The movement, called "Barefoot Sunday," is being led by Samaritan's Feet, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing shoes for the nearly 300 million children across the world who wake up every day without anything to wear on their feet. The pastors will ask their congregants to donate $10 each, which pays for a pair of shoes, with the goal of raising $1 million.
Among those participating in Barefoot Sunday are Martin Luther King III and Bernice King, who have partnered with Samaritan's Feet in honor of the 42nd anniversary of their father's assassination, which coincides with Easter on April 4. Many of the shoes raised by Barefoot Sunday will be distributed to 50 cities around the country on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2011.
"We are partnering with Samaritan's Feet because they serve the poor and demonstrate compassionate acts of service by washing the feet of shoe recipients," said Martin Luther King III. "My father stood for the impoverished and Samaritan's Feet embodies that every day. This fits the model that my father stood for and we are honored to continue his legacy."

Hi, I have several small terrariums I made about a week ago. They came out very nice, but they seem to be growing a filmy white mold in them already. I've taken the lids off to let them air out for a bit but what's the long term solution? I think the culprit is the ornamental sphagnum moss I used for a top layer. Do you think it would be OK to spray the moss carefully with a very dilute bleach solution, trying to keep off the plants as much as possible? What would have been a good way to disinfect the moss prior to placing it in the terrarium? I'm thinking that maybe moistening it and then microwaving it might have killed any mold spores.
Other lessons learned: Plants are a lot bigger in the terarrium than they look in the store. Gravel, charcoal, soil, and top layer take up a lot of the height of the container. Thanks |

Your terrariums are very nice!!! Remind me of the first ones I tried. Good job. On the fungus, it is probably something that came in with one of the plants and not the moss as sphagnum is acidic. You may want to wash off your plants before planting and wash off most of the original potting mix as well. While the general lesson on building a terrarium use a stratified layer of gravel-charcoal-soil mix this approach is really best with those in large aquariums in which some watering may be more regular than would be needed in a smaller setting, such as yours. I would forgo the gravel and the charcoal and only use enough mix for about a 2 inch covering when pressed down after planting your plants. Be sure the mix is moist but not wet when doing so. Then only mist enough to allow for condensation to collect on the lid of the terrarium. If no condensation collects mist. If condensation covers the sides and the lid then open up and let dry for a day and close and see what happens. Also keep in mind that you need a good pair of plant shears as you will have to trim them back if they grow great. The real challenge seems to be in finding the right plants that are really small growing plants and that offer good eye appeal. There are so many sites on the net that offer so-called mini plants but when you read the list you find that these are regular plants that can get big even in a greenhouse!! Here is a link to one place that offers a variety of tropical plants for terrariums. I recommend checking each plant that is interesting to you out by googling to make sure the plant is what you may want to use. http://www.glasshouseworks.com/terrariumplants.html Those that I would recommend are: |
Thanks so much for the advice, I will definitely keep that in mind for the next batch, I lost a lot of height with all the layers. I've ordered from glasshouseworks before and generally been happy, after a longish wait. I didn't know they had a special terrarium listing. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks. |

Well, the hoya bug bit me again and I'm trying to choose on which to get next. In two weeks, I'll be going to Lowe's and Home Depot again to look for hoyas. This time, I'm keeping my eyes open for a compacta. If I don't find one, then I'll either order it, fungii or motoskei from Gardino's. Wish me luck!
Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Brad, congrats on your decision to get another hoya, lots of luck finding the hoya you want. Just a word of caution about the Compacta, I've read and heard that they are a mealy bug magnet due to the many nooks and crannies that this variety has. I've since traded mine last year once I realized that they seem to be prone to it. Don't need any more plants that are a "magnet" to bugs if you know what I mean(I have enought to worry about with the other hoyas). I'm by no means suggesting you don't get it...just giving you a friendly "caution" so you are aware of it and can keep a real close eye if you decide to get it. Keep us posted on what you end up getting! You think you got the hoya bug now...wait till Spring,lol :o) |
Hi Pug, Mealies are the reason I didn't get a compacta in the first place, since I had that infestation on lacunosa. Now, I've changed my mind and decided I want one. I bought a bottle of Garden Safe Houseplant and Garden Spray to fight mealies with. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
- Posted by greenthumb z4a, Minnesota (My Page) on Thu, Feb 25, 10 at 15:26
The only real way to fight mealies on H. compacta is by using a systemic insecticide on the plant (BATS). With all of the nooks and crannies, you will never hit all of the bugs by spraying. I would use BATS systemic on the plant as soon as you get it. Good luck in your hoya hunt! I just looked through Ted Green's updated list and found $195.00 worth of cuttings I want to order. Now, mind you, I have no room for any more hoyas, but that's never stopped me before! (:o) Thank God it's too cold to place an order now. Maybe by the time the warmer weather gets here I will have come to my senses.(or, maybe not!) |
Mike, if you want cuttings from Ted, he said to order and pay for them now to get your name on his waiting list....those who order and pay late may be out of luck...sorta "first come, first serve". So, get that $195 in the mail today!! LOL Patrick |
Mike, so the hoya bug got to you too! LOL! Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

Hi Mike, nice to see you on this part of the forum...Welcome! So the Hoya bug got to you too? Its very addicting just so you're warned! But what a fun addiction it is. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 3, 10 at 14:35
Lol...I think I am beginning to feel the bug...:-) I am sure with all the people here, it will be a rearding experience..Now that I have two sylights! I actually have that stuff...lol. That is what I use on one of mine years ago, and that stuff does work I tell you. It has never had a mealey bug since then.. Mike |
Well, I won't be looking for compacta now. I'm getting three different hoyas from a trade: motoskei, obscura and pubicalyx 'Red Buttons'. Fungii is coming from a different person. Spring has cast it's spell on me! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

I went to Lowes yesterday and had to ask them to order some and the lady didnt know what they were so she looked it up in a houseplant book that was for sale and saw the hoya rope so I an hoping they should be in next week some time. The plants looked nice yesterday, you could tell they had just been cleaned up. I got one at Walmart though . Stacey |

please someone make this into a kickstarter project, I want one.
There is a guy doing this with fridge plastic, that makes chairs. He uses an old factory robot for the movement and a custom extruder and hopper.
I would almost forgive Exxon, Chevron, 3M, and Monsanto anything if they could build something like this.
This needs to be somebody's thesis project. No. This needs to be MANY peoples thesis project. After doing enough modeling, at certain point, it gets hard to even recycle the most basic of plastic goods. "This laundry detergent bottle has a nice finish, that could..." If I could make custom buttons for my thrift store jacket, or just replace the missing game pieces from boardgameX. Gotta make sure people don't try and make carabiners from milk cartons, but there's a thousand reasons to turn empty containers into objects at a home scale. Ventilation required.
It doesn't even need to be that complex. If a machine could just convert waste plastic into the thin plastic stock that is used in 3d printers, you'd have the closed circle you want.
Sums up what will no doubt be common place in future homes.
We want this nowww! Please make it happen!
This is genius
Saw this cartoon and had to comment! Check out this video (http://labcast.media.mit.edu/?p=213) and go to around 1:30. I am part of a research group called Mediated Matter out of the Media Lab and here is a prototype 3D printer that prints directly with used milk jugs.
Great cartoon, love it!
There's already a kickstarter underway for a plastic filament maker.
