Gardening newbie and just planted my first Rhododendrons. I was wondering about mulch. Currently I've been using compost as mulch (whatever I can find, but around here it's mostly decomposed sheep or cow manure) for all my plants, but since Rhodos like more acidic soil I've been reading suggestions to use conifer needles or bark.
Well, that is not always easy to find. Plus I like the uniform look of my garden beds with the nice black compost on top. So is it ok to keep using compost as my mulch? Or should I really be switching to a more acidic mulch? Thanks! |

Pine materials work best as mulch for rhodies. Go to the box store and buy a bag of "mini" pine bark nuggets. Your rhodie will thank you as will your wallet! |
What you have been reading is correct. Conifer needles or bark are the preferred material. Pine Bark comes in many sizes. I like the nuggets, but many use the mulch (small nuggets) since they compost faster. The mulch provides nutrients when it composes, but it serves to conserve moisture and keep the soil temperature stable protecting the roots from cold winter winds and and hot summer sun. Your plants will thank you. I like composted peat but it is a good soil amendment, not a mulch. The roots will grow into the compost, so it doesn't serve as a mulch. |
Thanks! I have a boxwood nearby...is it safe to use pine nuggets for that too, or will that make the soil too acidic? I am trying to keep each stretch of garden bed with consistent mulch type for more uniform appearance. Thanks again. |
Yes, the boxwood will do well with a pine nugget mulch. The conifer mulches only have a slight effect. The object is to not use a mulch that will have the wrong effect. We use pine bark nuggets on all of our ornamental beds. Besides rhododendrons and azaleas we have many different shrubs including boxwood as well as perennials, and annuals. If you need to modify the pH, use sulfur powder to increase acidity. It is very slow acting but is long lasting. |
Yikes! Pine nugget mulch here is about double the price of cedar mulches--about $5 per cubic foot vs $2.50 per cubic foot (and usually cheaper since the cedar ones are often on sale). Is the extra price justified? I used shredded cedar before and it seemed to work well but I was not happy with the look. |
Any conifer mulch is OK and cedar is a conifer. |
- Posted by akamainegrower none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 3, 12 at 5:38
There is a difference between conifer bark mulches and shredded pine,cedar, etc. sap wood mulches. The former lasts much longer and will not cause any nitogen problems due to rapid decomposition. Bagged material tends to be very expensive. See if you can find someplace nearby that sells real bark mulch by the yard. Such places can deliver and many allow you to load your own into bags, 5 gallon buckets, etc. |
Pine and cedar are conifers and their bark is a conifer bark mulch. You are correct that conifer bark mulches are preferred to conifer sawdust or shredded conifer wood. But reports of nitrogen deficiency are exaggerated. It is easily remediated with a little organic nitrogen fertilizer in the spring. A friend who is an avid hybridizer has been using maple sawdust for many years on his rhododendron seedlings with no problems. The Rhododendron Species Foundation used conifer sawdust to mulch it's plants for years with no problems. They did eventually get a problem when the oldest sawdust turned into a slime that held moisture and created disease problems. They had to replant everything. By this time the plants were quite large. It was a major project. |

A couple of points need some clarification here. Conifer bark or needles (or other acidic plant parts) used as a mulch have little impact on soil pH. There may be some minor leaching of the acidic properties onto the soil surface but nothing of significance and most soils tend to buffer against any overall pH change. And as the acidic organic matter decomposes, it approaches a relatively neutral pH anyway. Wood products - bark, sawdust, wood chips, etc. - used as a mulch have a minimal impact on nitrogen availability as well. Nitrogen tie-up tends to be a concern only when these products are incorporated into the soil. Both of these concepts are rather common horticultural myths that are often still expounded by nurseries and even some extension services but have been determined by soil scientists to be inaccurate assumptions. |
What is unique is that the roots of rhododendrons and azaleas many times prefer the mulch layer to the soil layer, so it is important that this layer be acidic. Their roots are very shallow and in these cases are more into the mulch than into the soil. I have seen transplanted rhododendrons and azaleas that were just picked up and the roots took the mulch with them. That is why it is important to replenish the mulch layer as it decomposes. A few years back, the Rhododendron Species Foundation had to transplant many of their very large plants, some over 10 feet tall. It was because the saw dust they were planted in and mulched with had turned into slime that was harming the plants. They replanted just about every plant. I saw them doing it and the root layer was just a couple inches thick layer sandwiched between two shipping pallets when they were being moved by a front end loader. It really brought home how shallow this root layer is. It also pointed out why bark chips are a much better mulch than sawdust. |
- Posted by akamainegrower none (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 5:26
In regard to gardengal48's comment about wood products used as mulch versus incorporation into the soil itself: earthworms and other soil fauna are remarkably diligent in mixing the mulch with the underlying soil. The idea that mulch remains largely seperate from the soil beneath is just not true. While the chances of nitrogen depletion are not great, it very definitely can happen. As rhodyman points out, rhododendrons are extremely shallow rooted. This means that the interface between mulch and soil is precisely where depletion can take place and have a detrimental effect on rhododendron growth. |
Nitrogen depletion sounds fine in theory, but in practice, I have never seen it. A friend who is a hybridizer and grows great many seedlings and cuttings mulches them with maple sawdust and chips from a wooden spoon factory. He never has signs of nitrogen deficiency on these small plants. I stopped using hardwood chips after I got a bad infestation of artillery fungus which shoots little "tar balls", actually spore cases, onto anything, especially thins that are white. All in all, pine bark chips are a lot more trouble free and are much better in the long hall. But, I don't place nitrogen deficiency as a major concern with wood chips. |
- Posted by akamainegrower none (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 11:30
I don't think nitrogen deficiency happens very frequently, but it is very easy to confuse with other things, such as pH imblance, chlorosis, etc. so it's not easy to say for sure. If a soil contains sufficient nitrogen on its own, the explosion of fauna that can result from an abundance of easily digested organic matter will not lead to nitrogen deficiency because there is no competition between plant needs and the soil fauna. This may well explain why the use of maple chips and sawdust doesn't create any problems. There's a very interesting study at www.ohioline.osu.edu.b894/pdf/b894.pdf which shows that the carbon/nitrogen ratio of mulching materials is the crucial factor and that nitogen deficiency does indeed show up in rhododendrons and other plants when that ratio is exceeded. |
I use woodchips as a mulch. It has a lot of varying size pieces that break down at different speeds. Sawdust, being a lot finer, breaks down relatively fast. Hence, goo. It needs body. You don't get the gradual breakdown necessary for good root development. Bark nuggets break down slowly, but don't do a good job of weed control unless applied rather thickly. (costs more) Here in the Pacific Northwest, we use a lot of fine ground Western Hemlock bark. It works pretty good, but can form an impermeable layer over time when continually applied, if conditions are right. I look at mulches as a temporary groundcover until the live ones take over. Then it's topdress time. I too believe the nitrogen deficiency is over exaggerated and easily overcome if it's an issue. Short story. I was in a bar in Montana a number of years ago and noticed they had rock salt in shakers on the bar instead of ordinary table salt. Some people like to add salt to their beer. More popular then, than now. I asked why they used rock salt. The bartender said table salt is like flash powder. You use it and the beer bubbles vigorously and you end up with salty, flat beer. Rock salt just slowly dissolves and doesn't leave your beer flat right away. |
Hi Mike, Given your location, I would guess that your wood chips are from conifers (softwood). Here in the east we have what is called triple shredded hardwood mulch. There is no guarantee that our hardwood mulch doesn't have walnut in it. All parts of walnut trees are toxic to rhododendrons and azaleas. If free of walnut, both can be used, but I would guess that your chips are a better choice for rhododendrons and azaleas than our hardwood mulch. |
I get a lot of Acer microphyllum and Alnus rubra. In the winter the chips come with no leaves. I like to use them for the trails. Yo're right though, in that most of the wood chips I get are from our large growing conifers, Doug Fir and Western Hemlock. Those are the ones most frequently removed because of their size. So far I've never had a Walnut load of chips delivered. I told my tree trimmer friend not to deliver any. At least I don't get ground up pallets and scrap wood. Mike |

I planted a Rhododendron maximum this spring, and the roots have spread 6 inches in all directions - This was a small, quart pot! I had mulched it with ground up bark from an Eastern hemlock that died last summer. Looks great, for around here! |

Is there a variety that you enjoy? I have no semi-shade climbers but some that I have read good reviews on in semi-shade are David Austin's - Graham Thomas, Gertrude Jekyll, Benjamin Britten, and one that I have ordered for spring myself is Golden Celebration. |

While the poster is from Canada with ready availability of conifer bark/nuggets and/or pine needles, to those who chimed in, you can't get much better than oak leaves should you have them. While we got hammered here with Sandy (at the Jersey shore) and with many of the leaves not falling into the gardens rather than being windblown away from them, I've taken to grabbing whatever leaves I can (from my neighbors curbside - whom I know do not treat their lawns - and at this late date, it's mostly just a blow off and still providing me with enough inventory to finish the job of mulching this winter). My neighbors think I'm a bit 'off', but I've found that I have nowhere near the amount of oak litter that I've had in prior years (though losing an 80' red oak and a 50' black oak the past 4 years hasn't helped - along with another large white oak during Sandy). I'll continue to dragging a 4-6 loads each day and supplementing the existing beds - especially since the most recent loss will have increased sun/heat exposure come July/August which is where I'm concentrating much of my augmentation (it is here that I have Rh. Barmstedt, Rh. Shamrock, Rh. Delp Orange, Rh. Calsap and Clethra Barbinervis. By the way, yesterday's nor'easter which had winds topping out at 74 mph down here did not displace hardly any of the leaves in my beds (either newly top dressed or existing). In closing, they're the right price as well. A Happy New Year to all of the gardeners who play in black earth and pray for it to all live again. |
The trick is to get oak leaves without any walnut parts. Most rhododendrons and azaleas are killed by juglone, the toxic agent in black walnut. I know that a couple rhododendrons and azaleas are not killed. They include: Rhododendron periclymenoides Fortunately walnut leaves aren't nearly as big a problem as the roots and hulls. Conversely, some rhododendrons will kill plants planted near them. That is one thing that is so insidious about R. ponticum in England. The ponticum runs rampant and kills nearby plants. This property of one plant to secrete a chemical that affects other plants to help it gain an edge in plant competition is called "allelopathy". |

Thanks RhodyMan. The only black walnut that I know of in the neighborhood is 5 houses away. I only use what I know to be either oak or hickory (never maple). Regards |

Joggling and Triathlon Juggling
When you combine running and juggling, you get joggling! Bob and Trish are two of the world's fastest jogglers. They started joggling together in July of 2010 and have participated in numerous races across the country (often finishing among the top runners). Bob and Trish hold the world records for the fastest 5K (3.1 miles) and 10K (6.2 miles) while juggling 3 objects. Trish has joggled a 5K in 19:46 and a 10K in 42:53. Bob has joggled a 5K in 16:34 and a 10K in 35:38.
In July of 2012, Bob and Trish became the first people to complete a triathlon (swim, bike, run) race while juggling 3 balls the whole way. Check out the video!

Can we tempt you with another next gen Xbox rumour? Oh go on.
This one's from Kotaku, according to whom Microsoft's next console will swap DVDs for Blu-ray discs, ship with Kinect's successor, and incorporate a system that rejects second hand games.
It's not clear how the latter feature would work, but the site speculates that it'll go further than linking copies of games to Xbox Live accounts, as this could be easily sidestepped by staying offline.
Such a system would be popular among publishers like Ubisoft and EA, who have adopted controversial Online Pass measures to deter or recoup 'lost' revenue from second-hand sales. We doubt you lot would be pleased, though.
The proposed move to Blu-ray isn't all that startling - DVD has served Xbox 360 faithfully, but premium next gen games are likely to require far more storage space than even the largest current gen offerings, like the multi-disc RAGE or Final Fantasy XIII. Blu-ray packs between 25 and 50 GB, compared to DVD's 9 GB.
The Kinect refresh isn't an off-the-wall suggestion either. Kotaku's sources say the device will include the on-board processor originally slated to appear in Kinect 1. We're also told to expect a smaller controller.
Earlier this week, IGN published a report claiming that the next Xbox would be six times as powerful as the Xbox 360. Components are apparently already in circulation, and devkits are down to appear by March at the earliest, August at the latest. Take everything with a pinch of salt, as ever.

last night we had a game of bg and the situation occured that 6 vipers were in space when the hangar deck was damaged.
shortly afterwards the human players used the ftl drive to jump. we put the vipers back to the reserves, but i think, that with a damaged hangar they have no place to land and should be destroyed.
this leads to another interesting question: when the hangar deck is damaged, what happens when a crisis card states that vipers should be deployed?
i found nothing in the rules to solve this problem, so maybe somebody of you can help me out...

This article was first published in the September China edition of Accounting and Business magazine.
For two days every June, I have the pleasure of chairing the CFO Innovation Forum in Singapore, an annual event attended by some 300 chief financial officers, financial controllers and other senior finance executives across Asia. It's a good opportunity to get a reading of how the region's businesses are doing – and how finance professionals are handling pain points and the various challenges confronting them.
This year everyone was focused on the economic slowdown in China and the impact on other Asian economies. Economist Rajiv Biswas, who discussed the macro-economic picture for 2013 and beyond, thinks China and Europe will likely cause short-term disruption, but he continues to believe that Asia's long-term story remains intact.
Some CFOs were sceptical. But as the finance chief of an emerging Asian multinational told me after Biswas's presentation, 'my job is to manage finance throughout the business cycle' – regardless of whether the economy is in recession or in growth mode, or just marking time, as Japan's has been doing for decades.
After all, the region's companies have survived the 1997 Asian financial crisis and various other disruptions, including the 2008 global financial crisis. It is the very poor finance function and CFO that fail to draw the right lessons from all these crises.
Two other topics resonated strongly with the CFOs at the conference. I noted heightened interest in Shared Services Centres (SSCs) and third-party BPO service providers, and in technologies that enhance the timeliness and accuracy of analytics, business intelligence and business planning.
Outsourcing is certainly not new in Asia. Many enterprises, particularly the regional arms of US and European multinational corporations, have transferred out transactional processes such as payables and receivables to intra-company SSCs and third-party business process outsourcing (BPO) service providers – primarily as a cost-cutting measure.
That's changing. What emerged from the discussions on and off the stage was that finance is beginning to look at SSCs and BPO partners not only in the context of expense reduction. CFOs are parcelling out processes to free up time and capabilities for higher value tasks, including the aforementioned analytics, BI and planning.
Gaining that space is just the first step. The freed-up finance department must then proceed to make sense of the reams of data, both digital and unstructured, that every business generates for clues as to how the enterprise should move forward.
This explains the interest at the conference in enterprise software that promises to do just that, and in platforms like cloud computing that promise to deliver those tools rapidly and cheaply.
Nobody underestimates the complexities, which is why those further in the journey, such as Vincent Liew, global CFO of design practice Aedas Group, were in high demand. After listening to Liew's presentation on how he and his team implemented a dashboard management solution, financial controller Helen Chan said she was 'inspired' to look into doing the same for her company, Nordic Maritime.
All that said, some cautioned against forgetting what finance is really about in the enthusiasm for technology and becoming a partner to the business. 'You have to start with the core,' said one finance professional, 'simple things like a global chart of accounts and having your processes aligned'. Analytics and data mining are fine, but core accounting is still what is important, he stressed.
If the buzz during the breaks is any indication, however, we will be hearing more about technology (including the desirability of ditching Excel) and the associated issues of security, cost and IT literacy in finance in future conferences.

Debate: Should We Save The Komodo Dragons
1. Why is this species important to the ecosystem?
Komodo Dragons are important to the ecosystem because they are the only carnivore on Komodo Island, where they live. They keep the other animals populations from becoming out of control.
2. What would happen to the ecosystem if it were removed?
Pro: The herbivores on the island would have a better chance of survival because there would be nothing to eat them.
Con: The island would overpopulate with the herbivores because nothing would be killing them off.
3. What other organisms do Komodo Dragons affect?
Pro: Komodo Dragons affect their prey. If they were to go extinct the prey could live without being eaten and have a better chance at survival.
Con: Komodo Dragons affect their prey. If they were to go extinct the prey would overpopulate, run out of food, and probably become extinct, too.
4. What is man's role in causing Komodo Dragons to go extinct?
Pro: Man has raised awareness about the Komodo Dragons and made laws to protect them.
Con: Man has captured Komodo Dragons for it's skin and teeth and to take to zoo's. Also, man visits Komodo National Park and causes the dragons distress and destroys their natural habitat.
5. What role do national governments play in this debate?
Pro: National governments have made Komodo Island a national park and made it illegal to kill the dragons.
Con: National governments encourage tourism and have used Komodo Island as a money-making decision instead of a decision to protect the dragons.
6. What should be done to save Komodo Dragons?
Pro: Governments should make it illegal to set foot on Komodo Island and relocate the people who live there because the dragons need to be saved, the whole ecosystem would be ruined without them.
Con: The government should just leave the Komodo Dragons alone and not do anything different. They should just let them go extinct because that is the ways of the world; species go extinct and new one's are found.

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Jo Anne Pierre Lifestyle Reporter from Metropolitan Home Magazine. After 2008 Kitchen Bath Industry show in Chicago we'll visit leading manufacturers of kitchen appliances, sink and lighting enhancements. You'll see the latest innovations in product design. The new products will offer you functional solutions and beautiful design for any kitchen space. We're going to see our friends now and you won't believe how little it cost to get a full kitchen with professional appliances $15000. I'm with (Woodman Berger?) and she's the senior product manager. You got something very new here the with First Professionals, tell us about this whole concept. Speaker 2: Well the First Professional Kitchen is a package of appliance, appliances package of five appliances that people can buy for around $15000 that includes oven, the cook top, the ventilation hood, the dish washer and the refrigerator. Luxury is cooking a great meal on great products. Speaker 1: This is a real focal point. Speaker 2: Yes, so what you can see here is a 36 inch gas cook top this one here has a stainless steel base. Has 5 burners in the middle (lock?) burner. It (cooks as fast?) as 60,000 (BTU?) and as you can see here it has (range?) that continues so your pot don't (slide?). This is a true cook top from professional kitchen. This is a 30 inch convection oven, as you can see here it's stainless steel and we put glass in front of the stainless steel. Why did we do that? Because stainless steel always shows finger prints than the glass they don't have that and it means less cleaning. The door has side hinges so that means it's really easy to get to your oven you don't have to bend over hot oven rack or a hot oven door you just have easy access to your oven. And this lane is integrated in the oven door so all the electronics everything is in the oven door when you open the door all you can see is the (quality?). (Gagena?) was the first one who brought the blue interior to the market and there are two reasons for it. One , they have a special coating it's a special enamel coating once coated 3 times. So it cooks (at most?) technology, put it in the oven and paint it blue because blue distracts the light in a certain way that you will see the real color of the food. This is a 6 inch bunk freezer and I just love the interior because it's all stainless steel. We use stainless steel interior because it's very hygienic and all the material that we are using are true high quality material like extra think (glass shelf?). We have aluminum door, drawers of our refrigerator are fully are extendable they come out all the way so you really have access to everything which is stored in your refrigerator. Speaker 1: You can use all the space. Speaker 2: Exactly and then we have light pillars at each side so you can see everything and all the food that you have stored in your refrigerator. Humidity is very important in your refrigerator so we created an air stream that brings the air out to those gaps and circulates the air to create a maintained certain level of humidity. Speaker 1: You got everything. Speaker 2: Yes. Let me show you one other feature that we have. The motorized shelf. When you push the button it moves the shelf up and down so that you don't have to take everything out and adjust the shelf. Speaker 1: Wonderful.

A DUI conviction in Mississippi can result in fines, jail time, mandatory participation in alcohol education programs and much more in a court case. As well the MS Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend the person's license for a period of time.
Once a person is convicted of driving under the influence in Mississippi, the Department of Public Safety requires proof of financial responsibility in the form of a SR-22 auto insurance policy. The SR-22 must be maintained for a period of 3 years.
Typically after the 3 year the DUI conviction is removed from the driver's record for insurance purposes. However, the DUI will remain on the person's driving history for 5 years for court and punishment purposes.

In 1769 the town of Stratford sought Garrick's help in dedicating and decorating their new town hall. In return for a grant of freedom of the town—presented in a mulberry wood chest—Garrick supplied a statue of Shakespeare for an exterior niche, and paintings of both Shakespeare and himself. But Garrick did not stop there. He planned, financed, and was master of ceremonies for a three-day grand Shakespeare Jubilee. Satirized and eulogized almost in equal measure, torrential rains and flooding marred a festival that was an expensive pilgrimage of pomp and worship marked by serenades and recitations, fireworks and balls, horse races, commemorative memorabilia... but not a single play performed. A tribute to the memory of the man rather than the writings and performance, the Jubilee is perhaps the most important cultural event in the history of Shakespeare's reputation. This event marked the creation of Shakespeare as England's national poet, and the beginning of an industry of "bardolatry" that continues to this day.

Hi folks! It seems that my Bonnie Burpless Hybrid Cucumbers just are happy as can be...in the last two weeks the plants have grown nearly 3 feet to 4 feet tall with side shoots, flowers galore and more tiny little cucumbers than I dare count. Problem is, they have reached the top of the 4-foot trellis I build and show no sign of stopping. I have reached a point where I need to do something. Option 1 - Cut the main stalk and halt growth upwards and let the cukes just flesh out. Option 2 - Let the cukes grow over the top of the trellis and straight down the other side (not sure how that would feel to the vine with the weight of the plant and eventual fruit hanging with nothing but lil tendrils for support). Option 3 - Build an extended angled trellis for the plants to sprawl outwards and gently sloping downwards. Sort of like this - with the same material I used for the trellis forming the web inside for the plant to lay across. I am thinking option 3 is the best choice but this is Mr. Slap-Dash, Learning on a Go Gardener here =) Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Plants draping back down a trellis is normal/common/standard practice. Done with many different vining plants with no problems. Cutting the main stalk doesn't stop upward growth anyway and only reduces production and since cukes can easily vine 10-12 feet tall or more there is no point to having a trellis so tall that you need a ladder to pick. Dave |
I like the trellis "picture' in your post-it would work just fine. |

The Mosquito Magnet Defender from American Biophysics Corp. utilizes the company's hot-surface igniter. The mini gas hot-surface igniter is specially applied in the mosquito catcher. By mimicking human breath, the mosquito catcher uses the biological characteristics of the mosquito or other biting insects to dehydrate and kill the insects within 24 hours. The device emits a plume of carbon dioxide, heat, moisture, and a special attractant to lure mosquitoes to the trap. Once drawn to the trap, mosquitoes are vacuumed into a net where they are dehydrated and die. The mosquito magnet disrupts breeding cycles by killing the egg-producing females, dramatically reducing the number of mosquitoes in the user's yard all season long.

Thom Yorke apparently has no idea where he's at right now. "Wassup," he intones after a lively rendition of "Morning Mr Magpie," a decidedly jittery track from King of Limbs. "Where are we? Where the fuck are we? We're on the ground somewhere, near the mountains somewhere." Continue reading Dave Herrera's Radiohead in Denver concert review.

"There was never any intent on my part to be trivializing, be flippant or cavalier in any way, shape or form in my reference to the heinous crime of rape," Koster told KVI-AM Radio. "In my tenure in the state Legislature, there's nobody harder on sex offenses than I was. As far as I'm concerned, we can put these guys away for life."
An activist working on behalf of liberal group FUSE Washington asked Koster questions during a Sunday fundraiser. Koster said he does not oppose abortion when the life of the mother is in danger but then explains he would oppose it when it involves rape or incest.
Koster twice uses the phrase "the rape thing" when describing his views, first saying that he knows a woman who was raped and gave up the child for adoption without any regrets.
"But on the rape thing, it's like, how does putting more violence onto a woman's body and taking the life of an innocent child that's a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?" Koster said in the exchange.
Koster is locked in a competitive House race against Democrat Suzan DelBene, who spoke out against Koster's comments Wednesday evening.
"I think his comments were offensive. They were extremely insensitive," DelBene said. "I think that women should have the right to make their own healthcare decisions between themselves and their doctors."
During Thursday's interview with KVI, Koster said the fuss over the comment was fueled by the media and those who oppose his position.
"In fact, some of these people who are hammering me now are the same people who think we can council and coddle these people into wellness and we give them too little jail time and we put them back into our communities," Koster said. "This is nothing more than a media assist throwing a life-line to DelBene because they spent $5.5 million and they still haven't put me away in this race, so they gotta sneak somebody in with a hidden microphone in a busy campaign event to capture something they might use."
Koster added had he said "rape issue" instead of "rape thing" there would never have been a problem.
"They're just grasping at straws trying to change the conversations about the issues our campaign has been about," Koster said.
Republicans have been beleaguered this year by comments about rape that some have deemed offensive. Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., who is challenging Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, said women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape."
More recently, Indiana GOP candidate Richard Mourdock has been criticized for saying that pregnancy resulting from rape is God's will.
Collin Jergens, a spokesman at the advocacy group FUSE Washington, said one of the group's activists went to the fundraiser to ask Koster about the issue of abortion. Democrats have been trying to portray Koster as out of touch with the district, which stretches from areas east of Seattle to the border with Canada, and they have focused particularly on his stance on social issues.
"I was kind of shocked by how dismissive and demeaning it was," said Aaron Ostrom of FUSE.
Sara Kiesler, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, said the Koster's remarks are proof that he shouldn't be involved in a woman's decision about her pregnancy.
"My gut reaction was that rape is violence, and that rape is a crime, and that his choice of words diminishes that violence," Kiesler said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

GSI Purpose

Just an old sheepdog of the Good Shepherd
Genesis 1:1
Communicating conclusions from 100's of PhD scholars (& children)
Supporting the authority of His Word & the consistency of His character
Human Rights? Slavery? - Animal Rights? Cruelty?
What about God's right to command compassion for all of His creatures?
PURPOSE? As an absent-minded professor, this personal website developed over the years simply as a place to store (remember/retrieve) my own devotional research, thoughts, gratitude, and awe for our Creator/Rescuer/Lord - Christ Jesus.
YOU? Possibly some of my rambling ruminations in this site might deepen and strenghten your own personal relationship with Him as you actively serve others His Way - for His Honor.
Reducing cruelty, restoring broken lives, exposing deception, helping seekers find the Truth (John 14:6) in an age of uncertainty, requires repairing the only foundational cornerstone on which to rebuild - His Way (Isaiah 53:6). The cornerstone must be the consistent character of our Creator, as He has revealed Himself to be - the Good Shepherd. For God has clearly made known that the fullness of His care extends to all of His "nephesh" creatures that He originally designed to live in peaceful harmony - all creatures great and small - both nephesh animals and especially people. (Lev 17:13-14; Pro 12:10)
God's priority repeated throughout His written Word (graphae) and seen most clearly through His only begotten Son, Jesus (John 1:1-5; John 1:18) is clear. It is His concern for the weak, vulnerable, and oppressed who suffer spiritually and physically at the hands of predatory people. This is the Good Shepherd's biblically-revealed priority, therefore consistent compassion is the only accurate reflection of His glory (Heb 1:1-3; Isaiah 1:23).
Organizations (Christian parachurch organizations, NGO's, etc) often become "one-issue" focused and so won't address certain significant subjects that might offend a percentage of their supporters. This is understandable if the desire is to avoid diluting their specific message, but when it's done to protect "funding" (i.e., for money), then something is wrong with both motive and method. Then it is the compromise of truth, causing confusion and doubt. Remember, "politically correct" can apply to all groups on various sides of an issue, since peer-pressure tempts everyone.
Privately, many leaders, pastors, theologians, and scientists have told me they agree, but either won't or can't address certain subjects publicly. Many are worried that they will lose support, position, or esteem if they share what they are convinced the evidence demonstrates to be the full truth. I'm ashamed to admit that I've given in to compromise in subtle ways many times in the past. Sadly, every compromise in belief led to consequential actions . . .
Actions are the fruit produced by root beliefs. History demonstrates that when a culture even unintentionally teaches a view of a cruel "Creator" its people will tolerate, practice, and eventually exalt cruelty. Never forget the root and fruit of predators like Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Saddam Hussein, homicide bombers, racists, et. al. Escalating oppression of the weak and vulnerable (tolerated by passive sheeple) is the inevitable result of a distorted image of the Creator and His Way. Beliefs have consequences.
"While the horrors of the Holocaust largely discredited eugenics, Mr Black [author of, War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race] warns that it was merely rebadged as 'human genetics' and 'genetic counseling', and that its ideas are still widespread. He is a political liberal, so he unfortunately fails to realize that the same pseudo-science of evolution that spawned both American and German eugenics is the one entrenched in the media and educational systems today." ("America's Evolutionists: Hitler's Inspiration, by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati)
"But here, Christianity provides a counterchallenge to remind them that they have not escaped the probe lm of contradiction. If evil exists, then one must assume that good exists in order to know the difference. If good exists, one must assume that a moral law exists by which to measure good and evil. But if a moral law exists, must one posit an ultimate source of moral law . . . . Why cannot evolution explain our moral sense? . . . . This is the latest approach . . . to explain good and evil apart from God. . . . Why do we need a designer? . . . The truth is that we cannot escape the existential rub by running from a moral law. Objective moral values exist only if God exists. Is it all right, for example, to mutilate babies for entertainment? Every reasonable person will say no. We know that objective moral values do exist. Therefore God must exist." (Dr. Ravi Zacharias, p. 108, JESUS AMONG OTHER GODS: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message)
[* Please note, once again Ravi clearly demonstrates the logical necessity of a moral God as the source - the first cause - for any claims of right or wrong. However, RZIM has recently chosen to avoid the crucial cornerstone connection between the Creator's character and the Way (when and how) of His creation. Only the full good news of Jesus Christ the Creator of both Old Eden and the promised New Earth can sufficiently answer these questions with intellectual and moral consistency.]
Research shows an inseparable connection between the rejection of our Creator's true character (the Good Shepherd / Protector / Provider / Rescuer / Restorer) and the increasingly predatory cruelty manifested today against both humans and nephesh animals. Studies have even demonstrated a clear connection between sociopathic violent criminals and a past childhood environment that tolerated and encouraged cruelty to animals. Such "training" sears the conscience, hardening the naturally selfish heart (Jeremiah 17:9-10). In contrast, our Creator designed and called us all to serve as both our brother's keepers and God's zoo (animal) keepers Gen 1:26; Gen 1:29-31; Gen 2:15; Gen 9:3-4; Gen 9:9-10). Remember, we humans are very social beings, a fact proven by the way yawning causes others to yawn. Similarly, cruelty and compassion are both culturally contagious. The choice is ours.
"The Scientific Link Between Childhood Animal Abuse and Later Adult Crimes: Although a number of philosophers and theologians have speculated over the years that humans who torture animals become hardened and cruel in their attitude and dealings with other humans, there has been, until recently, no scientific basis for this speculation. Now, several social science studies support the notion that cruelty to animals can be a predictor of later violent crimes against humans. Thus, if one regards the view of animals as merely chattels as outmoded and the view of them as creatures deserving of legal rights as insupportable, one may be persuaded that human interests and animal interests converge in both the prevention of animal abuse and the punishment and treatment of animal abusers. Animals can help society to identify people at risk of committing further violent acts, and counseling such individuals while they are still relatively young can reduce the overall level of violence in society." (Livingston, Margit, "Desecrating the Ark: Animal Abuse and the Law's Role in Prevention" . Iowa Law Review, Vol. 87, No. 1, October 2001).
"Nephesh", throughout the Hebrew Old Testament, especially in Genesis, is used in exactly the same grammatical form for both animals and humans - "nephesh chayah", yet translated as "living soul" or "living creature" by tradition, (Gen 1:20, 21, 24, 2:7). It means a being that can think and feel – therefore experience joy or suffering.
Human nephesh is unique (Gen 1:26-28; Gen 2:7) in that we can think and feel about God and so are responsible for our choices. We were created in God's image in a special way with a greater purpose. Animals were not designed to have the capacity to know God personally, so they cannot rebel against Him and are not accountable like humans. Therefore, instead of focusing on our rights as humans, the Good Shepherd expects us to focus on our responsibilities as humans to treat His creation and His creatures His Way (John 14:6).

- "The Fall: A Cosmic Catastrophe", Dr. Sarfati PhD
- "Cosmic & Universal Death: Exegesis of Romans 8", H. Smith
- "Romans 5: Paul's View of a Literal Adam", Lita Cosner
Christians and non-Christians, who sincerely care about suffering, often mistakenly address cruelty and abuse concerns in a fragmented way as if these issues are separate - mutually exclusive. Some focus on creation, many on education, others on counseling for the abused, and some only on the protection of animals.
Effectively dealing with this cancerous problem of cruelty requires that we begin with a consistent view of our CREATOR, the GOOD SHEPHERD who sacrifices self for the needs of others. He is never a Great Predator who would sacrifice others for selfish desires.
Churches (some) as well as some Christian organizations have become social clubs and entertainment centers, serving primarily the providentially privileged, while millions of children and women are being enslaved, abused, tortured, and murdered here and abroad. In a related way, many Christians mock those who are concerned about animal abuse. Even worse, many Christian hunters glory in how the suffering of animals doesn't bother them - ignoring the biblical mandate that hunters show reverential respect for the suffering and death of nephesh animals (Lev 17:13-14). Sadly, I and so many other Christians have at times dishonored the Good Shepherd by presenting the opposite image of His character.
Please pray as we refine and refocus GSI to more effectively and efficiently fit His priority. In order to serve those who are suffering the most, I'll be reworking the website, writing more, and when time allows traveling to educate and motivate others. Together those of us who agree about the cancer of cruelty can multiply practical assistance to those in the most desperate need.

"VERY easy. I had the roasted winter vegetables leftover from Thanksgiving. I did saute some celery, onions, clove garlic, and some dried thyme to add to the mix before putting it into the processor.

A friend (who also rents at the same complex as I)and I would like to get one of thoes fire pits/bowl.. who should we see, ask? |

Your local Fire Dept? We have one, I can't see them being permitted on an apartment balcony or patio. Open, high flame, close proximity to bldg, smoke drifting into neighbors' would be a big issue, all just a recipe for problems. Most municipalities have regulations about fires (open, pits, bonfires, etc.). If they are even permitted within city/town limits, often it's got so be xx feet from any nearby structures. But that's my experience, your mileage may vary. |
Check your lease first. My unit has a balcony and my lease clearly states that grills and anything else that has fire are not allowed. The state fire code also says that anything with a flame is not allowed. If your lease doesn't forbid a fire pit, check with your landlord. Be sure to have all the info in hand before you contact the landlord--where you will put the fire pit, any safety features the firepit has, what type of fire extinguisher you will have on hand. If you will be using the fire pit on the ground surrounding the building, exactly where you will be, how often and what precautions you will be taking so that others aren't hurt or inconvenienced by the fire pit. Be prepared for the landlord to say no. Fire is a hazard no matter how you look at it, and the landlord's insurance company may have the final say here. |

Before Killer Mike and El-P teamed up as the fearsome rap duo Run The Jewels last year, El produced all of Mike's great 2012 album R.A.P. Music. And today, for whatever reason, Mike has given us the video for the rumbling album track "Ghetto Gospel." In directors Trevor Kane and Carlos Haynes's clip, Mike dons his Sunday best and drives a pickup truck to a backwoods church before engaging in a few more illicit activities. Watch it below.
(via Pitchfork)
R.A.P. Music is out now on Williams Street. The '50s square uniform is a good look for Mike.

In this week's readers' Q&A session, Yvo de Boer, the man who led the UN into the Copenhagen climate talks and is now an advisor to KPMG, answers your questions.
On the final day of the Cancun climate talks, Yvo discusses the progress made towards a comprehensive global climate treaty, the (lack of) future for a global carbon tax, and how crucial emissions trading schemes are.
Next in the hotseat is Peter Voser, the chief executive of Shell, who will be answering your questions on this site next Friday, December 17th. Send in your questions for consideration by the end of today – Friday, December 10th – to firstname.lastname@example.com.
But for now, over to Yvo:
Global climate talks
For the past years, there has been an enormous investment of resources, time and political capital into global climate negotiations with few tangible results. As the prospect of a comprehensive global treaty vanishes, is there a point to carrying on with global climate talks? Should we not rather focus on smaller and more focused agreements, like REDD, or regional carbon markets in places like Europe and some US States?
Till Stenzel, COO, Nur Energie
Firstly, I would disagree on the 'few tangible results'. Bali saw the launch of a global action plan, and the Copenhagen Accord delivered broad agreement on a long-term goal. Secondly, the prospect of a comprehensive global treaty is not vanishing – on the contrary – countries have gathered in Cancun with renewed effort. But undeniably, the politics and economics of advancing are very complicated.
Finally, in a way, we are beginning to see regional approaches: Europe has an emissions trading scheme for example, and Norway has a partnership addressing deforestation. My hope is that these very good initiatives will find a home in a very good agreement.
UN process
How can the UN process be reformed to ensure an agreement to limit emissions emerges?
James Joyce
The process needs to distinguish much more clearly between issues of a technical, as opposed to political, nature. I also believe that the process would benefit from a much clearer understanding of what is supposed to be achieved at each individual meeting.
World leader support
What message does it send to the public at large if world leaders are not present at Cancun?
Jean Taillon, business development manager, Andritz-Carbona
The negotiations here in Cancun are of a much more technical nature and do not require Heads of States' presence to have success
It's good that world leaders were present in Copenhagen and succeeded in reaching some agreement there. The negotiations here in Cancun are of a much more technical nature and do not require Heads of States' presence to have success.
Carbon intensity vs emissions
Do you believe that the "targets & timetables" kind of approach to emissions cuts could be considered one reason why the international negotiations failed? If you could go back, would you insist on this or would you change approach, for example by focusing on carbon intensity rather than carbon emissions?
Carlo Stagnaro, director, Istituto Bruno Leoni
Carbon intensity still means setting a target, but in relative rather than absolute terms. The disadvantage there is that a relative target does not give the same clarity on the result to be achieved.
Cap and trade
Do you still support cap & trade, or would you say a carbon tax would be a more effective way to curb emissions, either regionally or globally?
Carlo Stagnaro
Personally I don't see a global carbon tax ever being agreed
Personally I don't see a global carbon tax ever being agreed, although one could argue that putting a price on carbon through national trading schemes amounts to pretty much the same thing. At the end of the day, to achieve comprehensive emission reduction goals, targets, taxation and standards will be needed for different parts of the economy.
Investment gap
We've heard from many experts in Cancun that we have the necessary technologies and private capital to reduce carbon pollution dramatically right away, yet most global investors are unwilling to put their money into these clean energy solutions at the scale that is needed. What can international institutions such as the United Nations do to help close this climate investment gap?
Christopher Fox, policy co-director at Ceres and the Investor Network on Climate Risk
What is critical is that the international financial institutes such as the World Bank develop effective finance models that blend public and private capital to greater effect. Often private sector investment is hampered by concerns over risk and the rate of return. Public-private partnerships can very effectively address barriers to investment.
Finance ideas
Of all the options for innovative finance proposed by the Advisory Group on Finance – such as such as international aviation and shipping instruments and fossil fuel subsidy reform – which one has the most potential to deliver on long-term climate needs?
Jim Footner, head of Greenpeace's climate and energy campaign
I believe that the most effective way to mobilise finance for international cooperation is through emissions trading schemes in industrialised countries, where a portion of the revenue generated is used to support developing countries.
Uncooperative parties
Who are the parties who really don't want a deal?
Fiona Harvey, FT environment correspondent
