First year planting palm trees(queen palms to be exact) and the winter is approaching. I was just wondering if they continue to grow during the winter. I live in the desert area and temperatures are usually between 70-80 during the day.
Plus any other tips during the winter would also be helpful. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Queen palms probably grow all year round, but their rate of growth slows the colder it gets. Same goes for most palms. |
Palms basically are never dormant,if you want to know how much it grows and can reach the spear......... try marking it with a permanent marker on the spear and oldest leaf you can connect it with. |
- Posted by brooklyngreg 7a NYC coastal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Sep 27, 10 at 14:51
Cooler weather = slower growth, during warm spells(70s, 80s) they will grow faster. Fertilze and water if 3 consecutive warm days are coming up. Watering with warm water promotes growth fast. Do not water on cool or cold days. |
I'm kind of curious too. I have Mexican Fan Palms. Where I live it gets up over 100 deg for 2-3 months in summer. During winter we get below freezing overnight for about 2 months. I have two palms in my front yard that have grown tremendously this summer (up to 10 ft tall now). I fertilized them once in spring. Should I stop watering all together this winter? Should I fertilize at all before it freezes? When should I prune, only when the leaves start to turn brown, or droop down? |
Only dead material should be removed from palms so it doesn't matter when it's removed. It's fine to fertilize now but it's better to keep fertilizer at optimum levels though out the year. If the plants need water, water them. |
But how do you know if the palm needs water? Just check to see if the soil is dry? How often are you supposed to water the mexican palms? I'm a newb with palms...but I've watered about once a week and they seem to be doing okay. Continue that water schedule through the winter then? |
JORDANZ, Where do u live in the mojave desert? i live in the high desert & it gets really cold in the winter as should you cuz am basically in the mojave desert to. i dont water at all durning winter and my mexican fan palms do very well & plus we get all are rain durning winter anyways. durning warm months 1 or 2 times a week does fine. |
I am in the valley, which is very much like the desert. It is also very hot here! I hadn't looked too much on the growth of queens, washy's, date pams, CIDP, etc during winter. However, I am very sure I have seen them all grow a few fronds during winter. Here winter day time highs on average are in the 50f's and lows are in the 40f's. You won't need to water at all during winter. In summer you will need to water queens often, unlike washy's and date palms. Good luck! |
- Posted by theyardman 6AB SE Michigan (My Page) on Tue, Oct 5, 10 at 10:23
I have a Chinese Fan Palm and a Saw Palmetto. Last couple of years I have been shocked that my palms have actually grown new fronds during our cold winters here in Michigan. I do mulch over the palms with fallen leaves, and then cover with a waterproof tarp. This is all we need to keep the alive and still growing, even in wintertime. Very interesting, eh? Albeit, my 4 year old Chinese Fan Palm is still only 3 feet tall. |
I live by Edwards AFB...it gets up to 115 in the summer for about 2 weeks, and down below freezing for about 2 months total in the winter. Normal winters are 50's in the day and 30's at night. So I probably won't water at all, since we do get a little precip from Dec-March. |

What should I do?
0Sep 25, '12 by newnurse_12I've just graduated and passed NCLEX! I've been applying for jobs, but I'm receiving no call backs! No hospitals are hiring LPNs right now! It's either nursing homes or doctor's offices! I worry that if I get into doctor's office that I'll lose my skills and nursing home isn't really where I want to be. A lot of places that I have applied have agency nurses come in to do all the skilled work and all I would do is pass meds and put on bandaids till the "real nurse" got there! Then there are facilities that are only 2 out of 5 stars with Medicare evaluations with really bad client reviews! Also, not very well thought of in the community! I have even heard to work at these places will put my license at risk! Also, most of the 3-5 star facilities are only hiring for graveyard and I know I'm not a graveyard kinda a person! I did it in my 20s and was so screwed for the 6 mos I worked on nights on a job that was menial. I worry that if I do this that I may put patients at risk! I want to give my best to my patients and a sleep deprived me would not be the best! Should I just try and suck it up to get my foot in the door or just keep waiting for some great job that may never materialize? Any advice would be appreciated!!!
1Sep 25, '12 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorThere's a wise Brazilian proverb: "He who wants everything, ends up with nothing."
You might be waiting for more than one year if you hold out for the job that best meets your needs (schedule, skill set, environment, etc.). Beggars cannot be choosers.
The current economic climate is not good, and nursing jobs have been affected. If you refuse to work the jobs in clinics, doctors' offices, or nursing homes, there's probably 100+ unemployed new grads in the Tampa area who will gladly work those same jobs with no questions asked. Contrary to what you have probably heard, there is no nursing shortage at the present time.
I have worked at one-star and two-star nursing homes on and off for nearly 6 years, and they are not really that bad. A moody state surveyor could have given the facility low marks when it is totally undeserved. BTW, the 'losing my license' fear is very overrated among new grads. Most nurses lose their licenses over drug diversion, addiction, or impairment.
It is important to start accruing experience now, wherever you can. Good luck to you!Meriwhen likes this. -
0Sep 25, '12 by newnurse_12Thank you, for your input! I live in a smaller town than Tampa with less options! It is great to get some inside info about nursing homes. I thought if it had 1 or 2 stars that it had to be a horrible place to work! Yes, I know you're probably right about a moody state surveyor. I worked in pharmacy for years and have been in facilities that the state loved and ones that it seems no matter what they did to improve, they were badly rated! Thanks again, for opening my eyes!
1Sep 25, '12 by BrandonLPNPeople really make LTC out to be much worse than it actually is. All the talk about "you'll lose your license!" is based more in melodrama than reality. Too many new nurses give up too quick in nursing homes. Of course it is overwhelming at first. How could it *not* be? Holding out and waiting for that "perfect" job rarely works for anyone. Unless of course you're independently wealthy and can afford to be super choosey. But if that were the case, I kinda doubt you'd have went to nursing school in the first place. At any rate, good luck to you.Meriwhen likes this.
0Oct 23, '12 by kindlyliliNewnurse12
How did you find the LTC job? Through the Internet? I had a trouble to find a LTC job because I even do not know how to search for their jobs. It seems these facilities do not put their jobs posts online.
Thx -
1Oct 25, '12 by mizzmichelle21I could not find any positions in LTC online either. I went in person to 2 facilities in my neighborhood and filled out applications there. I would say your best bet is to go in person and see if they are hiring. By the way I'm in NYC.newnurse_12 likes this.
1Oct 26, '12 by CaptScrubs13Don't limit yourself to posted openings - I eventually just sent my r�sum� and cover letter to facilities - I got 2 call backs in a week on this practice - neither had posted openings and neither responded to the "online job inquiry" contact sheet. I did get a boost from a family members friend, who works at a SNF and gave my r�sum� a look and gave me a job - that opening was ALSO not posted anywhere! Just crank out resumes on nice paper with a cover letter - it's better than confining yourself to only the select postings you may be seeing!newnurse_12 likes this.
0Oct 26, '12 by soxgirl2008I would apply to nursing homes and doctors offices in the meantime. If you hold out for a hospital job you could be waiting awhile. Around here hospitals don't really hire LPNs anymore except in the clinic setting.

Stay Away!
I bought this product specifically for onions. If I was mad at an onion & just wanted to beat the $#!@ out of it then this product would be great. But if you are a cook like me & actually need to have your onion chopped into pieces, stay away from the OXO!!!
takes effort
Chopping cilantro is never easy, this chopper makes it a bit easier. You have to really wham the top down, and do it for longer than you'd expect, but it does eventually get stuff chopped enough. It is much easier than chopping herbs with a knife, though!
I recommend this product. -
Solid and Useful
Well designed and works well. Designers thought of everything. Can chop into the measurings marked container, then cap it and put it in the fridge. The attached spoon is a little silly! The whole thing is dishwasher safe which makes a big difference compared to other choppers.
I recommend this product.

SEATTLE – Attorney General Rob McKenna today encouraged Washington residents to support disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina but also cautioned them to be on the lookout for charity scams, including bogus solicitations by e-mail and phone.
"Washington residents should not let cons exploit their generosity," McKenna said. "I encourage people to do what they can to support victims of Hurricane Katrina by donating directly to familiar charities."
"As despicable as it sounds, crooks will try to take advantage of tragic situations," he continued. "We've already heard of swindlers using a ploy called 'phishing,' sending e-mails that appear to come from respected companies but are actually attempts to misdirect donations or steal personal data that can later be used in identity theft. The e-mails have links embedded in them that will take you to a fake Web site that looks like the Red Cross, for example."
Consumers should be suspicious of such e-mails and calls from solicitors, especially from unfamiliar groups.
Here are some tips to assure avoid scams and assure your donations make a difference:
The Attorney General's Office provides tips on charitable giving on the Consumer Protection section of its Web site at www.atg.wa.gov.
Consumers who believe they may be a victim of charity fraud should contact the Attorney General's Office at (800) 551-4636 or file a complaint online at www.atg.wa.gov.
Following is a list of charities that are assisting with the relief effort:
American Red Cross 1-800-HELP NOW (435-7669) English, 1-800-257-7575 Spanish;

Ectopic ADH secretion
Ectopic ADH secretion
Ectopic ADH secretion is the release of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or vasopressin, from an abnormal place in the body. ADH is a substance produced naturally by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. This hormone controls the amount of water your body removes.
Ectopic means "out of place."
Alternative Names
SIADH; Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The most common cause of ectopic ADH secretion is cancer. Certain lung cancers, as well as some head and neck tumors, are the most common cancers that cause this problem. In rare cases, many other tumors may cause ectopic ADH secretion.
See also:
The abnormal release of ADH makes it harder for the body to remove water. Fluid builds up in the body. Low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia) can occur.
Often, there are no symptoms from low sodium levels. However, changes in mental status and even seizures may occur.
Treatment is aimed at removing the cause of the problem (for example, surgery to remove a tumor producing ADH).
Limiting fluid intake is another common treatment. This helps prevent excess water from building up in the body.
Patients in the hospital with ectopic ADH that does not respond to other treatments may be given tolvaptan by mouth (orally) and conivaptan through a vein (intravenous). These treatments block the effects of ADH.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Roo!
Facts about Roo
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Roo's Info...
I am good with kids and good with cats.
Roo and his sister Nahla were found outside, and we assume they were dumped or abandonned on the street. They are extremely close with each other, and just like to stay connected, so we would like them to go to a home together. Roo purrs like a motor, and is a very affectionate youngster. He will play, sleep, sleep and then play. He is a very social, loving, devilishly handsome, rugged and athletic and a special snuggler. Roo and his sister Nahla are a bonded pair.
Other Pets at Cat Busters Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roo, a Toronto Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Toronto, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Toronto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Toronto already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Toronto breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Toronto paves the way for another one to be saved.

ADVICE: HOW-TO... Learn About U.S. IMMIGRATION & NATURALIZATION PROCESSES Cook County, Illinois ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information contributed for use in Cook County ILGenWeb (from Cook-Co-L mail-list) with permission from original submitter by Cook County ILGenWeb Coordinator(s), July 1999 WHAT WERE THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESS FOR NATURALIZATION FOR IMMIGRANTS TO THE U.S. ? ----------------------------------------------------- 1790 - Citizenship required a 2 year residency in the US and must be preformed in a court of record. 1795 - Added: 3 yr residency to file a declaration of intent, 5 yr residency to file final papers. This also provided citizenship to wives and minor children. (But remember women did not have the right to vote so there was no great motive for a women to become a citizen) 1804 - Widows and children of an alien who died before filing final papers were granted citizenship. 1855 - An alien female who married a US citizen was automatically granted citizenship (this was repealed in 1922) 1862 - Aliens over 21 yrs who were in the military could become citizens after 1 yr of residence. 1891 - Office of Immigration was established. Polygamists and those convicted of certain crimes or who carried certain diseases were excluded from citizenship. 1906 - Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization was established. Alien registration was required. residency requirements were changed to 2 years to file intent and 5 years for final papers. Wives and minor children still came under the 1855 law. 1907 - A female citizen who married an alien lost her citizenship and took the nationality of her husband. This was later changed in 1922 but citizenship was not restored until 1936. 1918 - Aliens serving in the US armed forces during WWI could be naturalized without any residency requirements (But remember they still had to go to some court to become a citizen) 1921 - The 1st Immigration Act to establish quotas of immigrants based on national origin was enacted. 1922 - Women 21 yrs and over were entitled to citizenship (women no longer became citizens when their husbands did) (Most important-women now had the right to vote so there was an incentive to become a citizen on their own) 1940 - Alien Registration Act required registration and fingerprinting at a local post office within 30 days of arrival. 1952 - Immigration and Nationality Act Amendment abandoned the national origins system of setting quotas on ethnic groups.

Man dies in crash on Disney property
Henry Pierson Curtis
Sentinel Staff Writer
May 18, 2006, 4:00 PM EDT
One Disney employee died and another suffered serious injuries when their cars collided head-on along Walt Disney World's road network early today.
The survivor is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Phillip Stitzer, 24, of Orlando, lost control of his westbound vehicle about 12:30 a.m. on Vista Drive and struck Kuang Wu's westbound vehicle, FHP said.
Wu's car rolled onto its roof and the 60-year-old Orlando resident was pronounced dead at the scene near the World Drive intersection by Reedy Creek Fire District paramedics, FHP said.
Stitzer was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition at this afternoon, said a hospital spokesman.
Criminal charges are pending the outcome of a traffic homicide investigation. Troopers at the crash scene ordered blood to be drawn from Stitzer for drug and alcohol testing after detecting signs of drinking, said FHP spokeswoman Kim Miller.
It could not be learned where and how long Wu and Stitzer had worked at Walt Disney World.

Support classes serve mainly as medics, but their ability to equip assault rifles, throw smoke grenades, and run further than any other class make them valuable fighters as well.
The abilities you choose greatly determine whether your Support class will focus more on healing or defending. This is why we used two of them in our squad.
Smoke Grenade: Deploy a smoke grenade once per mission. The smoke confers +20 defense to all units, not just allies, and lasts through the enemy turn.
Sprinter: Allows the
Support to move 3 additional tiles.
Covering Fire: Allows
reaction shots to trigger on enemy attacks, not just movement.
Field Medic: Allows
medkits to be used 3 times per battle instead of once.
Smoke and Mirrors: Allows 1
additional use of Smoke Grenade each mission.
Revive: Allows
medkits to revive critically wounded soldiers at 33% of max health, instead of
just stabilizing them.
Rifle Suppression: Fire a
barrage that pins down a target, granting reaction fire against it and imposing
a 30 penalty to aim.
Dense Smoke: Smoke
Grenades have increased area of effect and further increase units' Defense by
Combat Drugs: Smoke
Grenades now contain powerful stimulants that grant +20 Will and +10 critical
chance for all units in the cloud.
Deep Pockets: Confers an additional item slot in inventory.
Savior: Medkits
restore 4 more health per use.
Sentinel: Allows two
reaction shots during Overwatch, instead of only one.
