RE: Hose sprinkler/Oscillating (Follow-Up #3)
posted by: HamsterHuey on 08.27.2013 at 01:41 pm in Lawn Care Forum I second what grass1950 said. I purchased 5 quick connect underground sprinklers a few months back and have been exceptionally happy with them. I would highly recommend that you follow the advice in this review: Amazon Review
It works out cheaper to just order the U shaped joints from the quicksnap website: QuickSnap Store - Parts And to buy the recommended K2 smartset sprinklers from HomeDepot. The recommended sprinklers in that review are superior to the default sprinkler that comes with the package as you can easily set both left and right stops without having to remove the sprinkler from the ground. This is really really handy and makes installation a breeze and gives you the flexibility to adjust spray coverage of the sprinklers when renovating sections of your lawn. The other reason I really like this product over the other ones is that it uses off-the-shelf sprinklers so you are not locked into any specific brand of overpriced sprinklers. More importantly, if you are renovating and planting seed on bare soil, these pop-up sprinklers have a much finer spray which does a great job of providing water to the seed without washing them away. Some of the other products have much coarser drops which aren't all that great for watering newly seeded beds. I am actually just in the process of renovating a 3000sq ft section of my backyard and I don't think I would have had remotely decent results without the help of these sprinklers. I still have to manually move the hose about from one sprinkler to the other, but with the aid of a digital timer and the quick-snap hose connectors, it really isn't that big a deal. Here is a picture of my quick-snap sprinkler in action in week 2 of my renovation: PS - Having said all of the above, Oscillating sprinklers (the ones that spray a roughly rectangular pattern) are also excellent sprinklers for growing grass and maintaining lawns. The rectangular spray shape makes it easier to use when watering most lawns. However, if you have a larger lawn where you would need to move the sprinkler a bunch of times, then the quicksnap sprinklers would be a much more attractive option. Once you figure out their coverage and set their spray extents correctly, watering your entire yard becomes really easy as you never have to fiddle with sprinkler location, orientation, etc. This post was edited by HamsterHuey on Tue, Aug 27, 13 at 13:47 NOTES: <none>

Christina Kim recorded nine birdies and shot a 7-under-par 65 Thursday to lead after the first round of the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship. Kim leads Grace Park by one stroke going into the second round. Park made seven birdies on her way to shooting a 6-under 66 to open the tournament at Eagle's Landing Country Club. Kim and Park were followed by Lorie Kane, Becky Morgan and Cristie Kerr, who all shot a 5-under 67. "This is a really good way to start what I call the big chunk of the season and with all that Chick-fil-A does for us here in Atlanta and Nancy (Lopez) having her name on the tournament, it sure is one that I would like to have," Kane said. "There is a lot of work ahead of me but to start off with the day I had, considering I made a double bogey, I'm pretty proud of myself." Kane was at 1-under going into the par 3 hole 6 but double bogeyed to go to even par. "I was proud of myself because I didn't lose my marbles; I was patient," Kane said. "If you make a mistake, you're going to make mistakes, but you just can't follow up a mistake with another one." Kane birdied holes 6 and 10 before recording an eagle at the par-5 hole 13. Kane hasn't won at the Chick-fil-A but finished as runner-up to Rachel Teske in a playoff in 1999. That season, Kane won her first career LPGA event and followed with three more wins in 2000 but she hasn't won since. "I'm very ready; I'm more than ready," she said. "But again, I have to be patient and I sometimes feel like I am that old Lorie that just is continuing to try to build, build, build and now I know one thing is that I'm not afraid to win and I think there was a time when I might have been." Defending champion Se Ri Pak finished round 1 with a 4-under par 68. She was 2-under par going into hole 18 but eagled the par 4 hole to go to 4-under for the day. "It was great for me today," she said. "I usually play well at this golf course and at this tournament. I had confidence; that helps me a lot with the golf course. I'm happy about the way I played today." Cartriona Matthew and Lorena Ochoa also finished at 4-under after the opening round. "I felt like I played pretty well," Matthew said. "Maybe could have hit my irons a little better...but made some up and downs on 9 and 12 that kept my round going and finished with a nice couple of birdies."More like this story

Title: Madonna
Caption: Madonna opened up the MTV European Awards in Portugal. She came out onto the stage after bursting out og a big silver disco ball. Then stood right in front of me for all of 5 seconds. I must admit that I had a clue that is how it was going to be, so, I stood in the same spot for about 8 hours waiting. Had I moved then one of the other 4 photographers who were also allowed to shoot the show could have moved into my spot. I am really pleased that I did stand there like a lunatic for that length of time, because this photo ended up being used all over the world and still is used today. I am told that is becoming one of those Iconic Madonna shots. Which is nice!!

Antibiotics often clear up a bacterial ear infection. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic often chosen for treating ear infections. It works well and costs less than other brands.
Doctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics to prevent infections in children who are prone to repeated ear infections (recurrent otitis media). But experts disagree on how helpful this is.
Antibiotics are effective in most cases of ear infections caused by bacteria. But only 1 out of 5 children with ear infections needs antibiotics to clear an ear infection. In 4 out of 5 children, ear infections clear on their own.1
A child with an ear infection should feel better within 48 hours after taking antibiotics. If your child doesn't feel better, call your doctor. Your child may need a different antibiotic.
Some doctors suggest antibiotics for children who don't have symptoms but are prone to repeat ear infections. Studies show that this preventive method doesn't always work.1 Taking antibiotics when they may not be needed can lead to new types of bacteria that can't be killed (antibiotic-resistant bacteria). This means that children may not respond to an antibiotic when they really need it, such as if they get pneumonia.
Antibiotics may help with fluid behind the eardrum that won't go away (chronic otitis media with effusion). But the fluid may return.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Antibiotics will not be effective if the ear infection is caused by a virus. Waiting before starting an antibiotic can keep your child from taking medicine that he or she doesn't need.
Use of antibiotics to treat ear infections increases the risk for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Here's our new thread for February, girls! Let's make it a great month! It may not feel like it but before we know it, spring will be here!
It's early so I haven't worked out yet today, but will be later.....will post then.....have a good Super Bowl Sunday! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Kathy! I've started the month off wrong as far as diet and exercise are concerned. I'm doing the usual Super Bowl routine. Sitting in front of the tv with chips, dip, etc. But tomorrow will be different! |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 2, 04 at 7:26
Don't feel bad MaryAnn...I didn't do much better! LOL I didn't eat too bad, but I never did get around to exercising. Today is my 1 week weigh-in & measurements since I started this new program. I lost 3.4 lbs, 1" off my chest (ribcage area), 2" from my waist & 1/2" from my hips. Considering I only exercised 4 days last week when it should have been 6, I am VERY happy with the results! Tonight I move to Phase 2 which is a tape called Ramp It Up (48 mins long). |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 2, 04 at 20:05
Did the Ramp It Up tape.....OMG, this tape kicked my butt! I can only imagine what this will do to me after my 6 sessions of it. Every time I wanted to stop, I just thought of shorts, tanks and bikinis! LOL |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 3, 04 at 20:14
Did the Ramp It Up tape again; that is the longest 48 minutes of my life, LOL!! I felt like I struggled with the last 10 mins more than last night. But I'm actually beginning to see some real definition in my arms so I know it's working. |
You are doing so good, Kathy!! I weighed this morning and have gained 3 pounds this week. I am definitely back on the program! These pounds are gonna be gone by next Wednesday and the other pounds that are still here are gonna be shaping up through exercise! |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 4, 04 at 21:54
I took tonight off; didn't feel well at work all day. Hopefully, tomorrow I will feel better! |
- Posted by Wanda_Illinois (My Page) on Fri, Feb 6, 04 at 8:19
Hi Girls! Just got access to a computer, so thought I would pop in to say hi. I see that you've started a new post! Great! Kathy, sounds like you are on a roll. I have walked twice since I got here at my mom's. I got here on Sunday morning. I probally won't be home until the 3rd week of february, so don't think that I have deserted you. I am really enjoying Sunny Florida. I heard that my hometown got snow the night before and schools were closed. So glad that I am not there, lol! Yes, spring will be here before we know it! Wanda |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 6, 04 at 19:25
Good to hear from you Wanda! I'm dying for warm weather!! Still not feeling great today, but did my Ramp It Up tape plus the abs tape. |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 9, 04 at 7:43
Weigh in was today. Between TOM and being sick, I didn't do as well as I could have, but did still show a loss. Lost .8 lb....so that's 4.2 lbs total for 2 weeks. Chest & waist were unchanged, but lost .5" from hips, .50" from upper thighs and .25" from upper arms. This week should be better! |
Sorry you've been feeling bad, Kathy. At least you went down at your weigh-in! That's always a good thing! I have started my exercise routine again, after having gained last week! I am feeling slimmer and yesterday went shopping and had to buy a size smaller jeans! I had't really been thinking about going down in pant size...I mainly wanted to get rid of this stomach! I guess I'm loosing a little all over. Anyway, I feel great, and I'm ready to start the week! My weigh-in is Wednesday and I know I'll be down this week!!! Has anyone heard from Vickey? I hope she's feeling better! I hope it's a great week for everyone! |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 9, 04 at 22:41
Congrats MaryAnn on the new, smaller jeans; that is such a great feeling! I tried to workout tonight, but my energy level is non-existent from being sick. Except for being so tired, I do feel better, so hopefully a good night's sleep will take care of that and tomorrow I can start again. Vickey, where are you?? |
Good Morning! Hope today is a better day for you Kathy! I didn't exercise yesterday, not sure why....I just forgot! I think it was because I was hungry and most of my thoughts were directed to figuring out what I could eat and still stall within my points for the day. I guess I should have exercised....that would have taken my mind off food! |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 10, 04 at 19:11
LOL MaryAnn - I swear the more I think about food and what to eat, the hungrier I get! Made it through about 25 mins of the 48 min tape, but then did the 10 min Ab tape. I'm very tired, but glad I did something tonight. |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 11, 04 at 21:46
Worked out for about 30 mins - a combination of treadmill and toning upper body with weights. |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 14, 04 at 9:36
Let's see, Thursday I only did about 15 mins of my tape and Friday I didn't workout at all. This morning I got up early and did 40 mins of tape and separate 10 min abs tape...felt like I got a good solid workout. How's everyone else doing? Where's Vickey?? |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 16, 04 at 7:56
Didn't workout yesterday, so last week wasn't so great and it shows on the scale. This morning was my weigh-in, I gained .6 from last week. But I did lose another 1/2" from my waist (so all those ab crunches are worth it) and 1/4" from my upper thighs. This week I need to do better with staying away from sweets; too much Valentine's chocolates at the office & home! |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 16, 04 at 21:59
Went on to the Phase 3 (final phase) of this program. It's 60 minutes long and at a much faster pace; only made it through 30 mins tonight. I'm supposed to do this tape for the next 3 weeks; it will take me that long to build up to doing the whole thing! LOL |
- Posted by Wanda_Illinois (My Page) on Tue, Feb 17, 04 at 9:24
Hi! I'm back! Kathy, you sure are doing great! You sound so motivated this time around, good for you! 60 min....... I can barely do 30,lol! I just got home yesterday,so you are going to have to give me til monday to get back into my groove, ok? I have tons of things to get done this week. I have to unpack, clean, write bills, go grocery shopping. I also need to visit my kids and grandkids. I have to make a trip down to see my dad in Missouri, as he has been ill. It will only be a overnight stay, and only a day visit if possible. He usely begs me to spend the night, but I would rather not,as his wife, I am not really fond of, but I can tolerate! LOL! I see that MaryAnn has been posting, but what happen to Vickey? Wish that we could get some others to join us. I know that there has got to be others on this forum that are working out. Maybe we should start a Daily Exercise Post for all, (instead of calling it Walk away the Pounds). What do you think? |
I think changing the post subject might bring a few more in, Wanda. Good idea. I'm still here, but the only exercise I've been getting is my fingers on this keyboard! LOL |
- Posted by Wanda_Illinois (My Page) on Tue, Feb 17, 04 at 16:28
Hi MaryAnn! I forgot to say also, congratulations to your new jean size. Glad your still here! I think getting a few more people posting might get us all motivated. I just got home from the grocery store with all my south beach diet food. I tried to stick to my diet while in Florida, but it kinda went down hill after a few days. I wasn't real bad, just bad,lol! |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 17, 04 at 21:07
Great idea Wanda! I started the new thread so don't post here anymore. Thanks!! |

The Suck It Up! Brand was created by the son of an American hero. Gene McManus was a B-24 bomber pilot in World War II, flying 22 missions over Germany before being shot down and held as a POW for 11 months. He left a full college football scholarship behind the day after Pearl Harbor and enlisted in the Army Air Corp, not knowing if he would ever make it home again. Yeah, you could say he sucked it up! Just like the rest of those men and women from the greatest generation of our time. They came together to fight for America's freedom and then built our country back to greatness.
The Suck It Up! brand represents the old school, the generation of people who had to suck it up their whole lives. It is an American movement to get us back to what made our country special, created in honor of the greatest generation of yesteryear and for the future of our children. The United States of America used to be known and respected as the greatest nation in the free world, filled with tough people who did whatever it took to make it good, no matter what. We have gotten too fat and happy. We have gotten lazy and full of excuses. Let's bring the old school back. Let's put aside our differences and throw away our stereotypes and come together as Americans! Let's stop the finger pointing and passing the buck. Let's teach our children about the real world. Get them ready for life! Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are being the best you can be. It doesn't matter if you are man or woman, young or old, black or white, rich or poor, we are all Americans! Let's do ourselves a favor and make it better. Let's suck it up and do it the right way, like we used to do. Let's get back to what our forefathers built this great country as, "One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
In business, in sports, and in life!
Failure is not an option!

Reading Guide
Slow Love
Dominique Browning
In 2007, House & Garden editor Dominique Browning became a casualty of the sudden dissolution of her magazine and she found herself out of a job she spent nearly thirteen years establishing. Violently divorced from her intense, high-pressure career, she soon struggled with a life promising nothing to do and little solace for what the future held.
Browning learns how challenging and rewarding it can be to decelerate one's life and discover what truly matters. Through this personal and touching memoir, Browning faces her life head on and reveals the hidden happiness and wisdom that can be found in the simpler facets of life.
Slow Love is a book about redefining oneself, about righting one's path after being knocked off course and learning that the journey may be just as important as the getting there.
Dominique Browning is a writer, editor, publishing consultant, and the author of two previous nonfiction books. A classically trained pianist and the mother of two sons, she lives in New York and Rhode Island.
- The beginning of the book finds the author struggling with the loss of her job after thirteen years working as an editor for House & Garden. How would you describe her initial reaction to this life change? What would your reaction be and how does it compare to Dominique's?
- The author enjoys a rich relationship with her sons Alex and Theo. How did her career affect her role as mother? How did her relationship with her children progress and what is your opinion of that progression?
- The author's friendships are also affected by the shift in her life. What role does friendship play in Dominique's situation? What is your opinion of the author's claim that friendships "take time?"
- One of the author's key relationships throughout the book is with "Stroller." How would you describe their dynamic as a couple? How do you feel about Stroller's role in the relationship and how would you have approached it?
- The author makes the difficult decision to sell her house. What impact does that have on her situation? What role do our homes play in these life-changing moments? Would you have sold your house? Why or why not?

The company recently expanded its family of vinyl extension cords to include Cool Colors. According to the company, the cords feature a unique gloss color that promotes safety and prevents job-site loss. The cords are constructed from durable vinyl (SJTW) in one of six glossy color options: pink, blue, silver, purple, green, and red. The vinyl jacket reportedly resists moisture, abrasion, and prolonged exposure to sunlight. The cords are available in 12 gauge and come standard in 25-, 50-, or 100-ft lengths.

Bishop Museum
Honolulu, Oahu, HI, 96817, United States
Probably the best museum complex in the world for everything Polynesian (as well as Melanesian and Micronesian), the Bishop is Hawaii's most famous museum—and worth the hassle of getting to its out-of-the-way location just off the H-1 interstate. The crown jewel of the complex, the Hawaiian Hall, is housed in a stunning 19th-century lava-rock Victorian-era building that recently underwent a $21 million renovation. The Polynesian Hall houses rare Pacific culture artifacts, and the Kahili Room is filled with royal memorabilia including the fragile feather standards used as flags in old Hawaii. In the Science Adventure Center you can walk through a huge model of an erupting volcano and learn about the islands' endemic and in many cases extinct flora and fauna.
Admission: $15.95. Open every day except Christmas.

Is Your Brain Already on Vacation? ADHD Tips and Strategies for All Summer Plans Have you caught yourself daydreaming about your upcoming vacation way too far in advance? It's pretty easy to fall into this trap, particularly for those who struggle with concentration and focus related to ADHD or other learning disorders. However, these thoughts can be distracting and detrimental to productivity at hand, possibly creating problems at school or work. To promote concentration, focus and attention span in adults and teens, try Focus ADDult™
To support concentration and attention, while promoting normal energy levels in children and adults, try Focus Formula™
Get Organized Establish a series of 3 lists to check off as you enter vacation countdown, beginning with to-do items for a month out, then 1 week before, then finally 1 day before departure (or whatever works for you).
For instance, on your month-in-advance list, be sure to note to order any remedies your child and/or you regularly take to make sure you receive uninterrupted dosage (see our side panel for more information), schedule a pet sitter or make arrangements for your pet to be boarded, etc. A week in advance, you may want to note to pay any upcoming bills, make arrangements to get to the airport or have your car checked, etc. A day in advance, note any last-minute tasks such as double-checking your suitcase and watering plants. Pass your list around to your family members or friends that will be traveling with you to ensure you didn't miss any important points and to notify them of responsibilities. For a homeopathic remedy to relieve forgetfulness and mental fatigue, plus improve brain functioning, try Triple Complex Brain Tonic™
Stay Focused In the weeks leading up to vacation, make sure you and your family follow a holistic approach to health by getting enough sleep, maintaining exercise routines, and eating a balanced, nutritious diet. If you tend to daydream the most towards the end of the work day, try to schedule the most critical tasks earlier on in the day when you are the most alert and focused. If you have school-aged children, help them stay on track by utilizing a planner and adding little notes of your own to them to ensure they are managing projects and staying on top of priorities. If kids are getting a little restless, encourage them to participate in an extra half hour of outdoor exercise, as this has been shown to discourage symptoms of ADHD and improve focus. Especially for ADHD children and adults who are accustomed to following a structured routine, the freedom of vacation can cause what are normally manageable symptoms to spiral out of control. Maintain Some Structure. As much as possible, particularly for younger children, try to uphold most of the same routines followed at home, such as usual bedtime, bath time, and mealtimes. These were likely quite difficult to initially establish, and vacation shouldn't undo all those efforts! When you do have to deviate from regular schedule, explain to your children the reasons why and reinforce that the next day will be back to normal. Keep Dosage Consistent. Ensure symptom control and remedy effectiveness when you return home by continuing to follow regular dosage instructions. Also, don't forget to have remedies on hand to help control common travel concerns such as flight anxiety, motion sickness, digestive upset, etc. Natural remedies offer safe, fast-acting solutions for travel health.

Anthony Hernandez American, Los Angeles, 1980 Gelatin silver print 12 13/16 x 18 9/16 in. 2005.35.16
This is not a static scene, despite the fact that the main subjects in it are simply waiting for the bus. The picture is filled with tension--of a visual kind. A newspaper vending machine and a man in a hat anchor the image's two lower corners, as diagonal lines forming the sidewalk's edges shoot out from them and meet in the distance. Elements that are either moving or at a diagonal angle to the horizon seem especially pronounced in relation to subjects that are visually still--like the man sitting on a bench with his legs and arms crossed as he eyes the photographer. This photograph is part of Anthony Hernandez's series, Public Transit Areas (1979-80), which focused on people waiting at bus stops in Los Angeles. The invasive, sensory elements of the city vie for attention with vulnerable looking individuals immersed in their own private worlds. Hernandez used relatively large photographic equipment--a five-by-seven-inch camera mounted on a tripod--to achieve sharp focus throughout his images. A consistent, formulaic approach to composition also heightens the visual tension. By centering his human subjects in the frame, the street's one-point perspective as it recedes into the distance is emphasized. Background details compete for attention because their specifics change from image to image, even as the placement of basic elements remains fixed.

This is essentially a PSA (public service announcement) aimed at teachers, parents, and students. If there was a story, it'd be whether or not this man decides to knife himself open. Did I like it? Yeah, it was pretty effective in its message.
The man's thoughts are given to us in third-person, perhaps meaning that Death is studying his actions. The man contemplates his future and we're emotionally gripped even though we don't know him at all.
So the text was very necessary and helpful.
Still- I'm not so sure what you think this film can do for you as a director, unless you want to make docs or more PSAs. Hollywood wants to see you tell a story, and not simply re-telling a story that's affected thousands of UK adults.
Sad yes, but remember- Hollywood is about making money!!
Still, very good job.

New research often will appear as a paper at a meeting before final publication in a scientific journal. Here is a recent meeting abstract: "Are emaraviruses mite viruses? The Rose rosette paradigm Authors: A. G. LANEY (2), E. W. Kitajima (1), I. E. Tzanetakis (2) Rose rosette (RR) is a devastating rose disease, first described in the 1940s. RR is prevalent east of the Mississippi River and is characterized by elongated stems, malformed flowers and leaves, excessive thorns and witchesďż˝ broom culminating in plant death in a few years. In the Midwest and the Southern United States, the main host is an invasive species, Rosa multiflora Thunb., though cultivated roses are also afflicted. RR has previously been shown to be transmitted by the eriophyid mite Phyllocoptes fructiphilus and has been proposed as a biological control agent for R. multiflora. Recently, a new member of the genus Emaravirus (family Bunyaviridae), named Rose rosette virus (RRV), has been found in close association with RR symptomatic roses. |

Kittymoonbeam, this season I completed a final phase down from about 1000 roses to about 60. http://www.rosebreeders.org/forum/read.php?2,46868,46967#msg-46950 I started growing roses and hybridizing in the early 70s. In the 70s I liked to use the old rose annuals to hunt down the after world war II rose gardens that many communities had set up. Now, the Columbus Park of Roses and the Wooster Rose Garden of Legend and Romance are about the only 2 left. Even the famous Ohio rose nurseries are gone. The 2 Toronto area rose nurseries are probably the closest. In northern Ohio it is probably safe to say that the Canadian, Poulson, and German roses were more useful than the standard American type roses (except for the Iowa State Buck roses). |
Here is a link that might be useful: final phase down from about 1000 roses to about 60.
Henry, Thank you for posting the articles. I learned something new today from the Paul Zimmerman article, in that he cuts an infected cane down at the base if none of the rest of the plant is infected. Now I have never had a case of RR, but as my rose garden grows it does make me nervous. My question to you is Do we know how long after a mite infects the plant the bad growth shows? Would the mites be long gone by the time the plant shows it has been infected? Would you agree with Paul Zimmerman and just cut off that cane and hope for the best, or would you get rid of it. I have hard clay soil, so it takes me forever just to plant one rose plant, I would be very nervous that others could get infected while I wait to see if that one plant survives. |
mzstich, the mites are not "long gone" until the rose plant is long dead. The mite population explodes on infected plants. The mites crawl from infected to uninfected canes and to neighboring plants that are touching. Some of them sail away on windborne threads. Keeping an infected plant in the garden is risky. Our resident expert Ann says that plants are usually not cured by removing a cane at the base. If you catch it early when only one cane shows symptoms, she recommends splitting an own-root plant's crown and throwing away half the root system along with half of the top growth. Movement of fluids within the rose's plumbing system is vertical rather than horizontal at first. If you try removing an infected cane, I would recommend spraying the plant and close neighbors--generously-- with 5% Wilt Pruf solution. This would kill the mites that are contacted by the spray. Whether it helps in the long run has not been established. I also spray infected plants before removing them and then bag all the plant parts. |

The following was stated by michaelg: "Our resident expert Ann says that plants are usually not cured by removing a cane at the base. If you catch it early when only one cane shows symptoms, she recommends splitting an own-root plant's crown and throwing away half the root system along with half of the top growth." H.Kuska comment: can you please supply a link for that statement so that it can be put into context? Does the above recommendation apply to all roses at all times in the growing season, or to only one (or a few types of roses such as climbers but not other types such as hybred teas, does it apply only to own root roses but not grafted roses, etc? An example of an actual quote that she has made recently: "Posted by anntn6b z6b TN (My Page) on Thu, Oct 11, 12 at 23:11 Henry, The next 2 are posts that you recently made concerning cutting off canes in one thread ( http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/roses/msg0920343630587.html ) : "Posted by michaelg z6B NC Mts (My Page) on Mon, Sep 3, 12 at 9:45 A cluster of shoots and with crumpled leaves ( different from equally young growth on the same variety), these are additional RRD symptoms. If you remove such suspicious growth with pruners, be sure to sterilize them and bag the trimmings. Also you should take the underlying cane down to grade immediately." KR, What I do if I have strong suspicion but am not fully convinced is to cut the plant down, removing most of the cane and all foliage, and see what grows back. I just dug a plant yesterday that came back funny. Another one that I cut back at the same time looks fine. The latter previously had probable RRD growth high on only one cane." --------------------------------------------- In Chapter 2 she states: "A single symptom does not make a confirmation of RRD. When the growth character of a cultivar is known, appearance of multiple RRD symptoms will alert the rose owner to possible danger. Some symptoms of RRD resemble herbicide damage; a thorough search of the area around the roses for signs of herbicide use must allow for long distance herbicide drift - especially in warm weather. A rose bush outgrows herbicide damage, RRD infections persist from year to year until the death. Roses likewise outgrow �blind shoots� but the blind shoot looking growth on a rose in Georgia became more symptomatic of RRD two months later (Fig. 6). Weather damage in spring or fall can also cause contorted new growth, but comparison with growth on other roses in the same garden can be used evaluate the problem. If the damage was weather caused, the rose will out grow it. Because ot the chance of false diagnosis, each rosarian needs to think about the problem and decide in advance a course of action. Then when RRD enters a garden, the hard decisions have already been made. If RRD has not been reported nearby, and there are symptoms that suggest it, you may choose to reduce the mite population that transmits the infection. Digging up and isolating the questionable rose should also be considered. In addition, I would (and have had to) spray the bush in question and the surrounding roses at ten day intervals with Cygon 2E (following label precautions) while waiting for confirmation of RRD. Cygon 2E is the only spray that will kill the eriophyte mites. They are different from spider mites. Most chemicals approved for treatment of spider mites are not effective for the mites that transmit RRD. At present (2007) Cygon 2E is not readily available. There have been no tests to see if other miticides kill P. fructiphilus. Avid is approved for general use against eriophyid mites, but its efficacy in fighting RRD vectors is unknown." H.Kuska comment: I interpret the above to suggest: "Digging up and isolating the questionable rose should also be considered." But that nothing was said about cane cutting. "'Peter Beales version of Parks Yellow Tea Scented China' spring 2005 Ann summarises in a FAQ: "FAQ - How do you treat an infected garden": The best course of action if you are convinced one of your roses is infected is to first spray the area with Cygon 2E, then rogue it out and burn it (or bag it and send it to the landfill), and keep a sharp lookout for additional symptoms on other plants, especially on plants adjacent to and downwind of the infected plant. If you have the option, remove any wild roses that might be a source of infection. If you have a rose that is "iffy", that is, it might be sick, but you really don't want to rogue it out, then you may want to place it in isolation. The isolation can be chemical (spray often to make sure no mites from it travel to other roses) or physical (dig it up and keep it away from other roses.). One way that we live with the threat of RRD is to space bushes far enough apart that we can see the individual canes and try to keep canes from one bush from contact with other plants. (This is just hypothetical in our old garden rose beds.) When in doubt, it�s better to dig up, isolate and closely observe a single infected plant. See Chapter 4 for more information." http://www.rosegeek.com/id32.htm --------------------------------------------- My web page information is at: |
Here is a link that might be useful: My rose rosette web page
I live near Fort Worth, Texas and it appears half of my large rose garden is infected with rose rosette. I started in the middle today and worked away from the roses that appear to still be healthy. The local garden center told me last year it might have just been round up poisoning, but new blooms this year show spreading and pictures resemble all I see on rose rosette. After 5 hours of cutting and bagging, I'm now reading to see if I can stop the spread. As far as I can tell (1) it is conveyed by mite that crawl from plant to plant or (2) mites that blow from infected rose to anohter rose. (3) The only killer of these varmits ais Cygon 2E which IS NOT available?? So, if Cygon is not available, is there another option? Last year I purchased and sprayed about 30 bottles of virus and MITE spray, which I now see would not have touched these little mites. If they are insects, would not something like Diatomaceous Earth work to kill them -- if I dusted the plants? I used animal grade product this summer to protect against spiders and other insects. I am just sick knowing it will take me days, if not weeks, to dispose of all the infected plants (Mermaids, David Austin Climbers and single red knockouts) and it still may travel to the other l/2 of my yard (knockouts). Has anybody tried Diatomaceous Earth? I feel like filling up the shop vac and nuking the rest of my garden with D Earth tomorrow as precaution....?? Or can we get Cygon2E by mail from someplace? Don't understand why, if it's the only thing that works, it's not available? Thanks!! HannahB |

BLT Book Club - The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
A tiny girl is abandoned on a ship headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone with nothing but a small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book—a beautiful volume of fairy tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty-first birthday, they tell her the truth, and with her sense of self shattered and very little to go on, "Nell" sets out to trace her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell's death that all the pieces of the puzzle are assembled.

Professional accountants have been urged to think globally and to understand the context in which businesses operate in order to be well-position to support government in the formulation of financial policies and the preparation of the national budget.
The Member of Parliament for Ketu North and Chairman of the Finance Committee of Parliament, Hon. James Klutsey Avedzi, who made the call, also reminded accountants of their responsibilities to investors, to society and to the highest standards of professional probity and competence.
Hon. Avedzi, therefore, stressed the need for all professional accountants to undertake their duties with professionalism, responsibility, accountability and ethics.
He said in performing their duties, accountants should be guided by the principles of good corporate governance, effective internal control, proper risk assessment and professional and business ethics.
He noted that anytime codes of ethics were breached in the performance of their duties as accountants, professional integrity suffered, thereby affecting individual and institutional reputation.
Hon. Avedzi was delivering the keynote address at the opening ceremony in Accra, yesterday, of an induction course for 250 newly-qualified accountants.
The three-day course forms part of activities marking the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana (ICAG).
He challenged the inductees to take keen interest in Continuous Professional Development Programmes (CPDPs) and specialised Diploma Courses offered by the ICAG in order to update their knowledge in current developments in the profession so as not to become stale, but to remain relevant to their organisations, the ICAG and the profession.
He also commended the ICAG for its efforts at ensuring― through the provision of quality accountancy training for prospective accountants― that the quality of accountancy education was not compromised in Ghana.
In an address, Mrs Angela Peassah, President of the ICAG, also reminded the inductees of the five fundamental principles of the IFAC Code of Ethics, which she outlined as integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Mrs Peassah, therefore, urged the inductees to be morally upright and work hard to resist temptation to engage in corrupt and fraudulent accounting practices.
In his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of the ICAG, Mr Frederick Nana Kweku Moore, noted that accounting was the language of business and that the strength of the ICAG and a strong membership body was paramount in enhancing the accounting profession in Ghana.
Mr Moore advised the inductees to work hard to reach their highest potential in the next ten years, adding that it was his expectation that out of every five organisations, at least four of them should be headed by a chartered accountant.

Mesa will require the Chicago Cubs to open a restaurant at the team's new spring training complex by the first day of spring training.
The deadline is one of several the team and Mesa have agreed on as they get closer to finalizing details of a 50-year lease on a $99 million baseball and entertainment complex.
Mesa will require the team to add at least 10,000 square feet of shops, hotels or restaurants every 18 months as the city pushes to develop a 6-acre entertainment complex. This Wrigleyville West area will be the gateway to the stadium and entered through a path, which Mesa sometimes calls a paseo.
"We'll push for urban densities up in the paseo area," said Scot Rigby, an economic development specialist. "We're thinking anywhere between three and six stories, if the development demands that."
Mesa is looking for a restaurant like the Captain Morgan Club at the Wrigley Stadium in Chicago, Rigby said. Mayor Scott Smith likened the space to the TGIFriday's at Chase Field, where patrons in the restaurant can see into the stadium.
The team would pay a $250,000 penalty if the restaurant isn't open for year-round use on opening day, which could be in 2013 or 2014. The penalty buys the team another 18 months to develop commercial space. After that, the city would be able to sell the space to another developer.
Mesa will offer other land for sale only as the Cubs build more amenities, Smith said. The team will have to give up the land if it doesn't open developments within 24 months of starting a project.
"If the development doesn't happen, we still control the land," Smith said.
At a Thursday briefing with the Mesa City Council, Rigby said the agreement should be finished in a few days. Other details of the emerging agreement:
• Mesa will lease the stadium to the Cubs at $9 per square foot.
• The Cubs have options to purchase up to 6 acres at $9 a square foot, a value negotiated after the team and the city performed independent studies on fair market value.
• Some deadlines and terms for the entertainment district are still under discussion.
• The Cubs cannot buy land and keep it vacant more than 18 months. After that period, the city gets the land back and can seek other buyers.
• The Cubs have naming rights on the stadium and collect parking fees on 2,500 spaces.
• The team has exclusive use of the stadium, with the city having options of up to 10 events a year.
• Mesa will get a 30-person suite.
• Contact writer: (480) 898-6548 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Hens have slowed down, so maybe I can catch up.
Made 4 Angel Food Cakes for the freezer, 2 plain, 1 cherry and 1 coconut. Second batch of egg noodles drying, that makes about 40# for the freezer. I'm going to pick the Christmas Limas tomorrow, I should have a lot to shell, and some for seed. Tryed leaving on the vines to dry, and they molded. Still blooming like mad tho, so all stages to pick. Little things give us enjoyment in our old age--LOl-Sitting on our deck on a cold morning, watching that huge compost pile getting smaller--and smoking like its on fire! Walking in the orchard just as the fog lifts--every tree has at least 4 huge spider webs, perfect, hanging from tree to tree, the mist still clinging to them. So grateful for a life spent on the farm. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, it is the little things that are so wonderful living in the country. I wish I had the nerve to try angel food cakes again to use my eggs....I made one once and it fell totally....never tried again. We are getting way too many eggs for us right now too. Do you have a special recipe you could share? |
This is what is so great about this forum. As written in the posts above your lives are and have been so very different than the life I have had. I love hearing about the very simple pleasures of life here in the Ozarks. About four years ago I retired from the navy after 23 years. So for the most part I moved every three years and most always lived in large cities or overseas. Now after a year of living in the country on a one acre wooded lot I don't get snaky every time I hear a rustle in the woods while I'm out gardening. Squirrels use to drive me crazy running about on the fallen leaves. And when a branch fell out of a tree…oh boy…..But still when it's quite and dark at night I have a hard time being comfortable sitting by myself on our enclosed back porch....so may sounds out in those woods. I have never been in a house longer than five years ...even as a kid. I find your stories of living on a farm fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Pam |
Pam, I love the early morning and night sounds best of all. We have been hearing a strange bird call for a few years in the woods across the road from us....finally identified it as the pileated woodpecker. I knew we had them because I have taken some pictures of them in the front yard. They are the neatest birds. Then,,,,there is the barking of the coyotes.....love that sound. We sleep with the bedroom window just cracked a bit and can hear the owls and coyotes and all other night critters. Never heard that panther call that some folks down in Wright County say they have heard....and that is OK by me! |

Ceresone - You sound content. We've had some wonderful weather lately and I much prefer fall to spring. I love to see new things coming up in the spring but most days are too windy. I like the stillness that we have in the fall. Gld - I've never seen a pileated woodpecker but want to. I know we have them around here, just not very common. Maybe I'm too close to town. My life would be boring compared to yours Pam. I've never been out of the country at all and have always lived in the same area with family and friends close-by. I bet I'm more scared of big city traffic than you are of rustling leaves. lol I guess a person can get used to either if you're around it enough. |
Pam, I traveled alot as a child/adult and lived in many big cities. When I would visit my grandmother whom lived in the country, she would sleep with her windows open at night, and I would be scared all night. In the city, you never left your windows open. It would be nice to open my windows now, but all I would hear would be loud trucks, lawn mowers and barking dogs. We spent three days camping in the national forest this summer and at every little noise I would jump. Even my city brave dogs stayed under the cars. |
Have you ever walked in the woods at night? To me owls are the scariest animals. |
Glenda, sorry, not a secret recipe--LOL--just Betty Crocker cookbook. But, they did turn out soo good. I had to borrow daughters Kitchen Aid, that I bought her 2 years ago. Two years ago in the fall, we saw a wonderful sight, a Pileated Woodpecker, flying south (real low, thru the timber) then another, then another--in all, there were 12 of them! We figured they were migrating? I knew where two nests were, so I guess it was a good hatch. I've seen Bobcats, up close, heard Panthers-but the scariest sound is a Screech Owl-And they'll follow you thru the woods at night. I grew up on a farm, not far from here, my brother was 5 years older so I guess you could say I was a child "of the woods" I'd leave home about daylight, and get home long after dark, usually horseback.Many times, I've been lost, and had to depend on the horse to get home! Can you imagine today's children having so much freedom? Much more than you wanted to know--LOL (should I tell you about the time I rode a horse to school, and sent him home?-or taking him into the schoolhouse, and the teacher sitting astride, teaching a class? Naw, I wont tell you.) |
Christie come on up to my neck of the woods....We have a pair that have nested in one of our old trees on the property. They are big and beautiful and such a sight to watch flying around from tree to tree. Every now and then they will get on my birdfeeder. Love the sound of them as I'm putzing out in my gardens. I'm just thankful they are not doing the woody wood pecker number on the side of the house. Pam |
ceresone, I love those stories of your childhood! Share as many as you like. I think you were very lucky to have had that kind of childhood. That is why we moved out to the country in 1976.....to raise the children. They used to take the horses and ride around the "block" and would be gone for a couple of hours or more. I wouldn't let the grandkids do that now! I checked and don't have the Betty Crocker just B H & G's. May do an online search. |

It's not too late to start writing down those childhood stories I guess. The older we get, the more interesting it sounds. I don't have any grandkids yet but I think it would be neat to write a few books for them someday and take them to a copy place to have them bound. Ceresone - Any kid would love a story about a horse in a schoolhouse. |

Retired from the Navy in '97. Living in the Sandhills of North Carolina amidst golf courses and horse farms.
Lived on the southern end of the Chesapeake and working for the Navy as a civilian in news media and public relations. Dog is a Chocolate Lab until late 2006.
Married nearly twenty years. Teen-aged son is becoming a discerning cook.
Grew up in the Great Lakes region in the 60's & 70's where my dining experience was maily meat and potatoes with little imagination. Joining the Navy and being thrust first into the cuisine of the American South, then exposed to the exotic foods of the Pacific Rim nations was a great benefit of serving Uncle Sam. Stationed in outback of Australia on the Indian Ocean introduced me to wonderful seafood. A three-year posting to Italy taught me what good pasta, sausages and cheese is all about (and fresh mozzarella, who knew?). A stateside tour in California found me with an avocado tree, orange, grapefruit and plum trees in my yard. Weekend trips into Mexico showed me the glory of fresh tortillas, peppers, grilled meats, cold cerveza and fish tacos! A civilian stint as a news director in Wyoming introduced me to the joys of farmed-raised vegetables, fish from cold mountain streams and good beef and wild game. Living on the Chesapeake landed me smack-dab in th middle of Blue Crab country. Now I'm rediscovering suthun' cookin' and serious North Carolina Q.
My favorite conventional cookbook is a tattered and grease-spattered Doubleday cookbook printed in the '70s. I bought it in San Diego when I moved off the ship and into an apartment overlooking Shelter Island. The front cover is missing and the back cover is scorched from sitting on a hot burner.
Also have three Frugal Gourmet cookbooks that I bought when I worked in Chicago in the mid-eighties. His TV show introduced me to a world of simple, international cooking that meshed well with my own gastonomical adventures around the world with the Navy.
Favorite cookbook of the new millenium has to be the internet. "Googling" dinner is a
Simple food, simply cooked with spectacular flavor.

Dan Garrett talks about past success, recruiting and expectations
The Tower's Eric Haftel sat down with football Coach Dan Garrett to talk about the success of last season and to find out how recruiting for next season has gone so far.
Eric Haftel: Last season was the best in the program's history. Your team won the New Jersey Athletic Conference title, earned the program's first trip to the NCAA playoffs, and also won a school record of ten games. What would you say was the highlight of last season?
Dan Garrett: "Football is a unique sport. It is the ultimate team sport and that was the most fun. Spending time with the guys that we had. Seeing this team mold together from last January through the end of November and December. Their chemistry and leadership, on top of their lack of egos, that's the most impressive thing for me to acknowledge about this team.
EH: You won Coach of the Year. What does that mean to you? What do you receive for winning that?
DG: "I think it means a lot because that award is nominated by your peers. When you get nominated by your peers that is a great sign of respect. I think it's the ultimate team award. It says coach of the year and it goes to me but I have 14 assistant coaches and 100 players that work tirelessly. It's a shame that it just says 'Coach of the Year,' meaning me, because it's about the team."
EH: You said you are the busiest after the season. Why is that?
DG: "We lost on Saturday. We had a meeting as a coaching staff on Sunday and then we had a team meeting with the players on Monday. Then we go right on the road recruiting. We hit about 232 high schools all in New Jersey and a few in Staten Island. It was usually three to four schools a day. So from Dec. 1, right up until Christmas, everyday from 8 in the morning until 4, I would go there. Then I would come up here and meet with every single player to have an end of the year evaluation. Then in January there is a national convention that we go to for four days. Then we come back and the kids are back on campus. So we have our spring meetings and weight room in the morning for three hours a day, plus recruiting. I also speak at different clinics including the Nike Coach of the Year clinic. Plus I spend five to eight hours a day watching highlights from our games and the players we are recruiting. These last three weeks, I have been at home less than at any point during the season."
EH: It sounds like Kean's program isn't a Division III but closer to a Division II or Division I.
DG: " I don't coach Kean like it's a Division III school. I make sure my coaches and players understand that. Our mindset and our mentality is we are going to run this like a Division I program minus the scholarships. We want to make Kean University the place that everyone sees as not only good students, good people in the community but a really, really good football program. We have a saying that we have used since the start of last summer. The old Kean football program, that's not around anymore. We have a new standard and our job is to uphold the standard. Our standard is to carry ourselves with class and humility and be the class of college football."
EH: How many recruits would you actually bring in?
DG: "Out of those, give or take, 800 students that we initially sat with, we are going to have 120 kids visit the campus. After that we are going to have 25-30 that we are going to say, we want you to be a part of us. We want good people, who want to go to college, that can play ball."
EH: I know that quarterback, Thomas D'Ambrisi and running back, Chris DiMicco are no longer playing for Kean. What other starters are done with their careers and do you know who will be the new starters?
DG: "At the end of the day we are going to play the best people, whether that's an incoming freshman or a guy who has been in the program. We won't promise anybody any playing time until they come here and compete for it. We are losing three offensive and defensive linemen, a tight end, safety Jamahl Williams, Tommy, Chris and a senior wide receiver. So we are losing a bunch. Six years ago I would be nervous, but then we just had a team. We have a football program now. We aren't in that rebuilding phase. We have guys who have been waiting a year, two years, three years, who have established themselves and are ready to play for us. Even though we are losing a lot, we have a lot in the tank."
EH: Are all coaches, including coach Mike Teel, going to be returning, and how big of an impact did coach Teel have?
DG: "Mike was a phenomenal addition to the staff. It's very hard to find good quarterback coaches who are smart football guys and Mike is a guy who has all those football smarts and didn't have to research it. He had a huge impact because we had a good quarterback and he made that very good quarterback, better. Mike's network is huge. It includes everyone he was coached by at Rutgers, the Seahawks, Bears and Patriots. Mike is going to be a phenomenal young coach and I don't know how long we are going to be able to keep him. He's going to have a huge amount of opportunities because of what he has been able to do."
EH: What do you expect from this upcoming season?
DG: "The expectations moving ahead are to have great expectations. We don't accept mediocrity."

You could call Charles Freeman "the Mistake Man," not because he's incompetent, but because it's his job to see that his New York City lending company, Commercial Capital Corp. (CCC), doesn't loan money to a business doomed to make lots of mistakes. Over the past five years, CCC, one of the most active SBA lenders in the United States, has shelled out $300 million in loans to entrepreneurs-which is why Freeman has a list of the most common start-up mistakes:
Asking to borrow too little money. "A lot of companies find themselves strapped in year two," says Freeman. "You need to ask for enough money so that you at least have a 20 to 30 percent cushion to help get you through those lean times."
Having a business plan that falls short. "If you don't have the answers for how you're going to accomplish your goals, nobody else will," Freeman explains.
Either not having enough experience in the field you're starting a business in, or not hiring somebody with enough experience to help you. Either way, says Freeman, experience "is not something you can skimp on."
Failing to keep up with technology. Need we say more?
Having bad personal credit. This is a biggie. "It's a business risk for us to take," Freeman reasons. "It demonstrates a lack of responsibility and ability to pay off debts and to keep their affairs under control. A credit card is an extension of their persona."

Ok so this could easily be seen as yet another assault on email marketers globally; but as we've seen in the past, there's always a silver lining when it comes to Google's sometimes unpredictable behavior.
Now, while the possibility does exist that certain people might not be as interested in your email marketing material as others; we have gone down this path before in terms of how you can make sure that your mails make it into the priority inbox. This time, however, it's a teeny bit different. While getting into the priority inbox for Gmail requires a lot of communication and some skill with regards to subject line construction; making sure you don't get 'unsubscribed' is a lot more straight-forward.
