I have followed the threads over the past year or so on growing JM's in Minnesota. I'm a zone pusher too but I don't think I would have the success that Mike and others have had in the cities. So I started looking for oriental looking plants that have the general idea of a JM for my conifer garden and stumbled on this sumac.It has a cutleaf foliage and I'm thinking you could prune it to look like a small tree. See what you think, I'd be interested in comments or other possible JM mimics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: rhus typhina 'Tiger Eyes
Follow-Up Postings:
We sell these at work, they're very cute. They're a little less orange in real life than in the picture though. I'm pretty sure you can prune it to look like a tree. |

Nettie, That sumac is beautiful! Great color and the leaf shape is very interesting. If only it would grow in shade, I'd get one for myself! Should make a vey good substitute for a JM. once its trained to grow like a little tree. If you go ahead with this, please keep us posted on your success. Good luck! |

I found one at a local nursery and got a one year replacement guarantee so I thought it was worth a try. Right now it is yellow and the tips of the leaves are starting to turn red. It has a weeping habit that I like and the stems are a pretty red color contrasting with the leaves. I'll keep you posted on what it grows into. |

Nettie, I would use Acer pseudosieboldianum, the Korean maple, instead of Acer palmatum, the Japanese maple, if you're concerned about hardiness. The Korean maple is hardy to probably zone 3b, with protection, and zone 4a without protection. Here is a picture of the leaves on my tree last fall, in fall color. This is a small-growing tree that should have no problems being pruned if, and when, it might become too large for your spot. I love the two-toned effect on some of the leaves. The leaves are very "Japanese Maple-like" in their look. Unfortunately, this tree does not have any red-leaved cultivars at this time. Since you are looking at the Tiger Eyes™ sumac, leaf color probably isn't an issue. Acer pseudosieboldianum - fall color, 2004 Mike |
- Posted by Nettiesgarden z4 MN (My Page) on Wed, Aug 10, 05 at 11:46
Thanks Mike, you are right- color doesn't concern me it's the form and effect that I was searching for. I'll look for the Korean Maple, thanks for the tip! |
Nettie, Also research the various types of elders, sambucus racemosa 'sutherland' (Sutherland cutleaf golden elder) sambucus nigra 'black beauty' and sambucus nigra 'lacinata' Glen |
I don't like to toss out these negatives but maybe you want to know....Sambucus 'Black Beauty' croaked for me- It didn't even try to show this spring or summer- and I have heard that the Tiger eyes can be fickle here also- I do love the looks of them! I found an annual that helps me with the wishin for a Japanese Maple- Look at Hibiscus Sabdariffa! I hope to grow this again and again and again! Julie |
- Posted by Nettiesgarden z4 MN (My Page) on Wed, Aug 10, 05 at 15:13
Thanks Glen and Julie. I'll check into the elders and the hibiscus- it's nice to have a variety of options anyway. |
I think possibly the hibiscus that Julie mentioned may have been the substitute for JM that was mentioned to a friend and I at Rice Creek Nursery. |

I planted both the Sutherland Elder and the Tiger Eye Sumac last year. I have been trying to train them both as a tree. Both plants are growing really good. I bought them because the foliage color is so pretty. This spring I thought the Tiger Eye didn't make it over the winter. It was just a little stem. But then it got real "furry" and started growing like mad. Tripled its size this year. I guess it was just a slow starter. My Southerland is a fast grower. I just wish I knew what I was doing training it on a standard. I figure the worst that can happen is I will let it become a bush again if it looks too bad. It has really pretty leaves, I guess it does look like a light green JM at that! |

I hesitantly bought a cutleaf sumac one year, after being convinced by the nursery owner that this particular one wouldn't be invasive. Next thing, sumac everywhere, even in my flower beds. jan |
- Posted by Nettiesgarden z4 MN (My Page) on Tue, Aug 16, 05 at 11:47
Interesting Mimi- you are one step ahead of me with both plants. Grandma Jan- that thing about invasiveness caused me to research a little farther and I found the following link about Tiger's Eye. I hope that the nursery is right and it isn't as bad as the one you got. |

Nettie: Tiger Eyes definitely suckers, no doubt about it, but I have found they are not difficult to keep up with, whether in a bed, or if they've moved out into the lawn. It needs full sun to really bring out the chartreuse color, so I wouldn't make any shade recommendations for this plant. The fall color can be spectacular, with shades of orange and fire engine red. I'm surprised at someones comment on it being fickle as far as winter hardiness - my experience has been that it is rock solid in zone 4. It is late to break bud, and patience is a necessary gardening virtue on this plant. It will ultimately reach that 5-6' height and spread - nice idea to be pruning it into more of a small tree form - good luck! PP |
Julie - are you growing Hibiscus sabdariffa as a winter hardy perennial? Or replanting each year? Have you found it to be readily available at nurseries? Thanks. Jan |
Hi Nettiesgarden, I realize this thread is a bit old, but thought I would jump in. I have wanted a JM forever, but in my hot summers and cold winters in z 5b KS, I know of no one who has ever grown one. I have been reading up on Rhus typhina 'Laciniata'. But the I am looking to plant a pretty side yard consisting of I will keep looking for a cheaper price for the laceleaf To satisfy my need for a JM in my landscape I did purchase Greenthumb, Friesfan1 |
Hmm... you haven't actually tried any Japanese maples yet? There's one in my family's garden out in the northwest suburbs, and it doesn't even die back from winter cold (with no protection). I'll grant that the cultivar is not something you'll find locally, but it would seem that the 'Emperor I' types and perhaps others should be about as hardy. I'd buy a small one at a reasonable price (this means you'll have to mail-order it), plant in the spring, and burlap it for the first few winters until you're more comfortable with it. There's no reason to completely deprive yourself of the experience! |
I am really glad to see someone with a Korean variety. I too have JM envy but would never think to plant one in my rural yard, death would be certain. I did see a Korean maple this summer at a nursery, with a price tag of $130 so I didn't jump on it. After seeing that gorgeous photo above I will now keep my eye out for that little darling to go on sale yet this fall...the nursery still has it at that price. |

I also have Acer palmatum Robinson's Red (RR) growing in my yard (a REAL Japanese maple). The tree was planted in 2002 or 2003 and has seen -25°F with NO damage. Robinson's Red is only available from Girard's Nursery, in Ohio, via mail order. RR is a seed-grown selection from a tree that Girard's imported from Holland in the 40's (I believe) and was the only tree to survive the -25°F temps. that the area sometimes experiences. My RR is planted in the most exposed location in my backyard and the only protection the tree receives is a 4' tall cylinder of chicken wire that is covered with burlap. I may not use the chicken wire/burlap to protect the tree this winter. I am sitll undecided. |

Nettiesgarden, At our last garden club meeting we had an assistant professor from the University of Minnesota, Department of Horticultural Science, as our guest speaker. Looking towards the future, he envisions a Japanese like maple hardy enough for the north! I'm sure this is still a few years away, but at least those folks are working on it. |
- Posted by Nettiesgarden z4 MN (My Page) on Tue, Sep 13, 05 at 9:32
Yes, (thanks for the recent replies)I am sure that I will eventually stop depriving myself and either try zone pushing or they will come up with a hardier variety. Part of the county that I reside in is actually zone 3b- about 20 miles away and I do see -35 temps in the winter so I might be just a little more cautious than others. |
I'd give Robinson's Red a try. I took shipment on 5 seedlings late last fall and healed them in - with my fingers crossed. All came through a typical z5a winter with no problem. They are however very variable - no real true red in my group but it is a JM. |
I bought my Korean maple approx 5 years ago at one foot high for $30 (2 gallon pot). Maybe I just lucked out on finding a good one, or maybe I have a good sheltered spot, but it's done well for me (zone 3, though sheltered city lot). It never developed much in the way of fall color until this year. I believe it's because it's in a shady spot (3 hours sun). Not as brilliant as Mike's photo, but it did get an orangy hue to it with some of the leaves on the branch ends reddish. Nice to see as most of my other plants get yellow fall color. As my tree gets taller however (6 feet tall) the top of the plant isn't as shaded by nearby buildings. My only complaint, and it's not a big deal, is that here the leaves seem to get frost bitten, then stick onto the plant, instead of falling off. It's just a minor complaint because now I have a tree with crispy leaves ready to fall off into my small pond nearby. According to some sources, this tree can get quite big, but I am happy that it is slow enough growing (at least here) and seems more shrub like than tree like. I also have a couple of Japanese maples, though smaller height ones. For winter I take a box, remove the bottom flaps, place around the tree and essentially fill in around the tree with peat moss, then leaves. Once it snows, mound lots of snow. They've come through 3 winters this way. I know they will never be huge, because any portion of the plant that I don't winter protect won't survive, but it's kind of neat to be able to grow at least a couple. I know they too can gain great size with age, but I sort of view these as miniature trees. Glen |
I second the staghorn sumac. It has beautiful red fall color. My sister has grown them for years and years - some in pots - in zone 5 in colorado. Lots of freeze/thaw where she is because the sun is SOOOO strong there. The ones in the ground are in dappled sun and barely grow above 5'. She gave me a couple that made it through last winter in pots on my deck - no protection. They grew quite a bit this past summer. Maybe more tropical than japanese, but very interesting cut leaves too. |
Hi, I know this is an OLD , OLD thread, but just bought a Tiger Eyes Sumac. I am wondering what plant combinations to plant with it for year around contrast? I also just bought a Russian Sage. But I think at maturity What would make a good plant combo with my Tiger Eyes Sumac? Thanks, |
- Posted by friesfan1 5b KS (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Jun 21, 07 at 15:04
I ended up planting "Black Lace" Sambucus in this bed with my Tiger Eye Sumac. With it I also added Morning Light miscanthus. Here is hoping that they all grow to maturity and my Mary |

He might not win them all, but Nathan Horton's season-long love affair with mitts hitting the ice and fists hitting faces has led to an interesting wrinkle in his history of violence.
Due to various injuries Horton missed a combined 25 games over the past two seasons while in Florida. So he's either watching Slap Shot on a continuous loop when he's not at the rink, or Horton decided to use his new-found ability to stay healthy this year to get in touch with his inner anger.
Over those last two seasons in the sunny south, Horton didn't receive a single fighting major. In fact, Horton's foray into fisticuffs this season–he's fought seven times–easily exceeds his total fighting majors over his last three seasons (four), and his previous career high of three in 2007-08.
Taking Horton's Karate Kid emulation one step further, his snot and possibly nose cartilage-dislodging bout with Ottawa's Zack Smith this afternoon achieved an impressive feat. With his seven majors this season, Horton has now eclipsed his six total fighting majors over the previous six years of his career. His 83 penalty minutes this year is also just short of his career-high of 89 with one game remaining on Boston's schedule.
That's some serious rage. We'd give Horton a stick or glove tap, but we're afraid he'd clock us straight in the beak.
Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves here, because this sudden spike in violence doesn't make Horton the next reincarnation of Dave Semenko. It does, however, confirm our suspicions of a potent anger-advancing agent being placed in the water at the TD Garden, as Horton's penchant for punch-ups comes after being signed from Florida last summer.
Like any male who breathes oxygen, I enjoy a good scrap. But the spontaneous bouts where the two combatants are unmistakably enraged are far more entertaining, and Horton's fights are usually perfect examples. Similar to Sidney Crosby in his rare fights, during those few moments of fighting when blinding anger engulfs the mind and body, it seems like the only thing that will satiate Horton's desire for mayhem is slamming his opponent through the glass repeatedly.
Horton's rugged play has been about more than just sheer rage. It's been the spark that ignited his stagnant scoring. Between mid-December and the beginning of February, Horton maintained a very average offensive output by his standards. He had scored 10 points over 26 games, a stretch that also included 11 pointless games.
Then on Feb. 9 Horton had six penalty minutes during that infamous slugfest against the Canadiens, and he also scored five points. In the 27 games since that night Horton has accumulated 40 penalty minutes–nearly half of his total–and 12 of his 26 goals.
See, sometimes it just feels good to let the anger out. Serenity now, insanity later.

Johnson said Georgia experienced a strong season last fall. He said prices remained strong on average and were better than anticipated.
Georgia Vegetable's Kennedy noted that prices fell in mid-April from as high as $20 from south Florida to $12.85.
"As more people are starting harvesting, and theirs is better availability, we will see prices lowering as more items start shipments," she said in mid-April. "We expect to have a good season in Georgia as prices in Florida have been high."
Georgia Vegetable plans to begin shipments May 15, on-time.
Volume runs through the end of June before transitioning to eastern Tennessee.
Jon Schwalls, director of operations for Southern Valley Fruit & Vegetable Inc., Moultrie, Ga., said he planned to begin harvesting beans May 15, about a week later than normal.
"The beans look well," he said in late April.
Schwalls said colder than normal temperatures and heavy rains caused lower than normal volumes last fall.

Version and / or Patch Used: 4.00
Developer Homepage: http://www.efdsoftware.com
Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
Benchmark: measures the performance
Info: shows detailed information
Health: checks the health status by using SMART
Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
Temperature display
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has been gaining popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
Starting out with read performance across the drive to get things off and running. The Patriot Pro SE 120GB has an average read speed across the drive of over 415MB/s. The minimum and maximum in this test are very close to the average speed, so there isn't a lot of variation when the drive is in a new state.
In the write test across the drive we achieved an average speed of just over 400MB/s. Once again the performance was smooth with the maximum and minimum speeds keeping very close to the average. This is important when running demanding applications that require a steady state of performance.

submachine gun
submachine gun
Lightweight automatic small-arms weapon chambered for relatively low-energy pistol cartridges and fired from the hip or shoulder. Submachine guns usually have box-type magazines that hold 10–50 cartridges, or occasionally drums holding more rounds. A short-range weapon, they are rarely effective at more than 200 yards (180 m). They can fire 650 or more rounds per minute and weigh 6–10 lbs (2.5–4.5 kg). Important types include the Thompson submachine gun, or tommy gun (patented 1920), the British Sten gun of World War II, and the later Israeli Uzi.

A group of 10 computer engineering and computer science students from CSULB is currently in Switzerland as part of an American contingent of students and professors participating in the Swiss Computer Science Summer Program.
Taking place from July 14-Aug. 1 at the School of Business and Engineering Vaud (HEIG-VD) in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, the program is aimed at providing an opportunity for international collaboration and cultural exchange between American and Swiss students and faculty.
Led by Alvaro Monge, professor of computer engineering and computer science, the CSULB group will include graduate students Audrey DiFiore, Meenu Gupta, Yanjun Hu and Naveen Roperia; seniors Tiffany Gee, Abel Gray, Paul Nguyen, Jun Takahashi and Mark Tokutomi; and junior Michael Neisius.
The three-week study abroad program will have students from CSULB, San Jose State University and Arizona State University joining Swiss classmates at HEIG-VD in attending courses taught in English by lecturers from all participating schools. Topics include computer networks, ubiquitous computing, Web technologies, bioinformatics, software engineering and artificial intelligence.
Activities may include trips to the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival, the Paléo Festival and a visit to either the UN office or the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva.
"I love Switzerland; it's a great country," said Monge, who led the first group of 10 CSULB students on the study abroad program in summer 2007. "The people there are just wonderful. The faculty who have organized this program are just amazing. This is the perfect opportunity for our students to get that experience of going abroad, getting an education and stepping into a culture they don't see all the time."
HEIG-VD and the local government of the Switzerland State of Vaud are funding each student with $2,000 to help with expenses for airfare, ground transportation in Switzerland and accommodations in a university dorm.
"I am interested in participating in this program to study computer science topics in Switzerland because it provides me with the opportunity to broaden my world view and my knowledge of computing topics, which are both essential to survival in this fast-paced and ever-changing field," explained Nguyen, a computer science major.
"This opportunity to go to Switzerland is amazing. This is a rare occasion where education, travel, and technology are merged together," Gee, a computer engineering major, added. "If given the chance, I will be expanding my knowledge in fields that I find intriguing."
HEIG-VD is a member of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO) network and participates actively in regional and national industry and business in all areas covered by its teaching. The school trains engineers and managers to meet the challenges of theoretical research as well as practical workplace tasks.

Questions from a recent grad - page 2
Hello everyone, As I mentioned in my 1st post, I'm a recent grad & newly licensed RN and I have a few questions about the next steps. 1) When is the best time to apply for my malpractice... Read More
0Jul 21, '11 by turnforthenurseRNQuote from grnteathis.about the insurance? if the hospital tells you they cover you, they might, but it's only a half-truth. if you make an error for which their insurance pays a judgment or settlement (not the hospital-- you don't think hospitals pay, do you? no, they have insurance for that) the insurance company is legally entitled to turn around and recover their loss from ...you. the hospital will not say, "oh, don't go after suzie q, she's such a nice girl," believe me.
also, if there is a lawsuit, the hospital attorney is just that, the hospital's attorney. trust me, he will not hesitate to throw you under the bus, because you are not his client. your malpractice insurance will pay for (and in many cases provide) an attorney to you, because it is in their interest to defend you.
this is all old news to us old people, but new grads need to know this. nso is a good company; there are others. ask the agent whether it covers you for actions only while the policy is active (while you are still paying the premiums) or whether it covers actions occurring in the time period when premium was being paid, whether or not the policy is still in force. makes a difference.
and to give you another example, say you're working at x hospital, you've been there for awhile; then you decide to leave for whatever reason. you get hired at y hospital. 3 years later you're still working at y hospital, but now you get called into court because of something that happened while you were at x hospital. if you do not have your own malpractice insurance, you will not be covered under x hospital or their attorney, and companies will do anything for their benefit, including throwing you under the bus if it benefits them.
in short, yes, purchasing malpractice insurance is strongly recommended, including hospital nurses. -
0Jul 21, '11 by CalixanQuote from AlisRNYou need BLS in order to get ACLS. So renew your BLS if it's expired and then do ACLS. I personally would work for a few months before doing ACLS, it kind of helps to have a few skills in place and glance and try to read some of the EKGs on your patients charts and learn the rythms. A lot of jobs don't require ACLS. Mainly ER, ICU, Surg, Etc. Usually just general med floors don't require it but if they do, they will usually pay for you to take the course. I would ask the company you are working for (are about to work for soon). Oh and you won't remember everything from nursing school, no worries. You will be fine!when renewing for your CPR, go for the ACLS instead of BLS.
And I'm also in MA - so try here... http://www.ehow.com/list_6643901_new...uirements.html -
0Jul 22, '11 by JaimeAnne,RNThank you for all of your replies & advice. I will certainly keep my eyes out for the BLS renewal course & will see if ACLS is needed for wherever I apply
0Jul 25, '11 by ckh23Quote from PMFB-RNHow so? How is someone going to know you have your own insurance unless you go broadcasting it to patients? If someone is going to sue, they are going to sue and you can't stop them. I for one would like to be represented by a lawyer that has my best interest in mind and I don't have to pay out the wazoo for.*** It is STRONGLY recommended that hospital nurses do not purchase malpractice insurance. Doing so just puts a huge "PLEASE SUE ME" signs on your back.
0Jul 25, '11 by ExpatHopefulI was told by a legal team that came to lecture us in nursing school that if you are sued for malpractice and are only covered by the insurance provided by your employer that they cannot go after your own own assets ($, home, etc). On the other hand if you purchased personal malpractice insurance they can and will which can lead to personal bankruptcy and misery. It sort of seemed like you're screwed either way though, because if you don't have personal coverage then you have the problems outlined above.
0Jul 25, '11 by dudette10Quote from JaimeAnne,RNBesides health and dental (yes, get dental too...it's cheap, and dentists are not), please consider participating in the retirement plan the facility or system offers. There is often a match, up to a certain percentage of your income per year.I'm not an expert on RN job benefits...what am I looking for?
Do this, even if you are young. Do it *because* you are young. Your retirement nest egg will be much bigger the younger you start, you may be able to withdraw with special tax treatment to buy a first home, and matching programs are essentially free money.
I think too many young people overlook how much they can save without missing it if they start out saving just a small percentage of their incomes (say, 5%) per month in a company-sponsored retirement plan.
This doesn't just apply to you--and it may not be as easy in this economy--but do consider the "fit" of the system for you with that first, second, third job. I hear on here about job-hopping, and what job-hoppers don't realize is that they could also lose out on free retirement money. Many systems require five years of continuous service before being vested in a pension plan, if one is offered. Job-hopping means that a nurse may *never* become vested.
I worked for a company for nine years before resigning. My pension benefit will be a little over $600 per month when I retire. My husband has worked for one for 20 years. His pension benefit will be nearly $3000 per month when he retires. You can have more than one pension, but you will never get one if you don't pay attention to the vesting requirements of your employer.

New Orleans High School Opens the Nation's First Full-Time Culinary Program
The curriculum is still being worked out, but the idea is that students will get early formal training, and not only have the chance to work in a restaurant, but to potentially own one in the future. At John McDonogh and other area schools, many students come from low-income families and have low average test scores, so the program offers the teens a path to success.
"A key result is that our alumni 10, 15 years from now will own restaurants and hotels," said Digger Phelps, a former Notre Dame basketball coach and culinary program supporter. "We will make John McDonogh the No. 1 culinary high school in the country."
What do you think about the culinary arts offering? Do you have anything like this at your school? Would you want to enroll in a chef-in-training program or is the restaurant business not your thing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love this more in person! I ordered these for a 50th anniversary party and they are lovely. I was concerned that the color would be yellow but it wasn't. It was more of a gold color, perfect for what I was purchasing for. I did cut edges and it turned out beautiful. The proof readers were awesome too. What a great feature to have. Turnaround time was fantastic too. I can't say enough!"
"We purchased the gold color for our reception. The photos do not do this justice at all - I highly recommend getting the free sample if you are on the fence...it will make your mind up for you! Impressive paper quality, excellent customization options. We were initially not going to do a menu, but we're all so glad that we did! Adds just a touch of subtle elegance to the table."
"We ordered the Bygone Bliss menu cards in watermelon to use as wine lists on each table at our wedding reception. The printing and customization were great and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out!"
"Personalizing this product was simple and the review team does a great job reformatting. I didn't have three courses and they did a great job re-spacing the entire menu. The menus arrived a couple days after I gave the final okay for them to be printed and they look exactly like what was shown on my iPad. The paper quality is great too, thick and sturdy. I've used both Wedding Paper Divas and Paper Style throughout my engagement and have to say I could NOT recommend Paper Style because of the paper they use. Way to thin and flimsy. Wedding Paper Divas has consistently provided me with a wonderful product. So far I've ordered our Save the Dates, one of our showers, invitations, and menu cards. Looking forward to the Thank You cards."

Bangladesh Council for Scientific & Industrial Research (BCSIR) is the core of scientific exploration of the country, especially in the industrial sector. Being part of a developing nation, BCSIR authority is investigating a new relationship between the public and the organisation. The existing approach to the BCSIR campus is from the popular shopping street of Dhaka City, not quite visible from the passing streetscape. Initiating a fresh new entryway is the first step for the reformation of public relations.
Oli Mahmud Architects have releases their proposal for a new gateway for the organisation to bridge a link with public domain. BCSIR has forwarded the proposal for further development to the executing authority last month. A simple rectilinear hanging box defines the entrance to the campus whilst the form resembles the immediate two research building behind the approach gate designed by renowned Architect Mazharul Islam.
A monitor-like glass façade punctures the solidity of the box to create dialogue with the greater urban context. Road parallel linearity provides maximum aperture to merge with the street dynamics and the ground level is designed for a gateway, guard post, and reception lounge with a miniature exhibition area. The floating box with its glass face will have commercial space to serve the organisation as well the adjacent commercial settings.

Whitcomb L. Judson was an American engineer from Chicago, Illinois, who invented the zipper. Judson patented his "clasp-locker'' on Aug. 29, 1893; later in 1893, he exhibited this new invention at the Chicago World's Fair. He and Lewis Walker founded the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture these fasteners. They never succeeded in selling Judson's new device. Judson died in 1909, before his device became commonly used and well known.
SundbachThe zipper was improved in 1913 by the Swedish-American engineer, Gideon Sundbach (a former employee of Judson). Sundbach was successful at selling his invention, which he called the "Hookless 2." He sold these fasteners to the US Army, who put zippers on soldiers' clothing and gear during World War I.

Disney Brass Get Two More 'No' Votes
Updated from Feb. 25
The movement against Disney (DIS - Get Report) CEO Michael Eisner has gained two high-profile supporters.
Investors welcomed the opposition, bidding up the stock 60 cents, or 2.3%, to $26.90 on the Instinet premarket session.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System -- the nation's largest public pension fund and one of Disney's 30 largest shareholders -- said Wednesday it would withhold votes for Eisner and three other company directors at Disney's shareholder meeting next week. CalPERS cited the company's "dismal performance" over the past five years, among other issues.
Separately, the proxy advisory firm Glass, Lewis & Co. recommend Wednesday that clients withhold votes for board chairman Eisner and director George Mitchell, who as presiding director is the lead independent director at Disney. The announcements add to the snowballing criticism of Eisner and the Disney board. Disgruntled former directors Roy Disney and Stanley Gold have been stoking this opposition since departing from the board last fall, and the discord promises to make for a tense annual meeting next week, when Disney shareholders gather in Philadelphia. "We have lost complete confidence in Mr. Eisner's strategic vision and leadership in creating shareholder value in the company," said Sean Harrigan, president of the CalPERS Board of Administration, in a statement Wednesday. "The company has lost more than 23 percent for the five-year period -- nearly five times more than the losses incurred by the S&P 500 index for the comparable period. We believe shareholders should send the message loudly and strongly that it is time for Disney to get a more focused strategy that will improve shareholders return on invested capital." CalPERS said it intended to withhold votes for directors Monica Lozano, Robert Matshllat and Leo J. O'Donovan -- the three board members who constitute the company's audit committee -- "because the committee has authorized the auditor to perform an unquantifiable amount of nonaudit services such as tax examination assistance and other services regarding internal controls," CalPERS said. "If we learned anything from recent corporate scandals, it is that audits must be beyond reproach," said Harrigan in the statement. "An auditing firm that receives money for other work beyond the audit just raises the risks for questionable audits." In its report, Glass, Lewis is critical of Eisner and the board. "In our view, Disney's board has come a long way, but not far enough," the firm writes. Glass, Lewis says shareholders should not forget Disney's many past indiscretions. "Here, those past faults are many. The Disney board has been notoriously insular, famously gullible and blindly loyal to Mr. Eisner. New blood on the board may finally be changing all that; we think, nevertheless, while the corporate world is watching carefully the fate of the Disney directors, investors should be heard to say in unison: we will hold directors' feet to the fire for present and past transgressions," Glass, Lewis says. In advising investors to withhold votes for Mitchell and another board member, Gary Wilson, Glass, Lewis alluded to recently released documents related to company litigation. Mitchell and Wilson, says Glass, Lewis, "failed to take any action (or apparently even notice) when Mr. Eisner brashly and near unilaterally hired and then fired an executive officer, costing the Company more than $140 million. In addition, Mr. Mitchell serves as the presiding director, a role we believe should be filled by a director of unquestionable independence. Mr. Mitchell is not that, and his decisions in that role reflect as much." Earlier this month, proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services advised withholding votes for Eisner. More recently, Disney raised concerns last week when Mitchell and Eisner -- on a conference call led by Glass, Lewis -- indicated that the board had expected an unsolicited takeover bid from cable giant Comcast (CMCSA - Get Report), and had scripted a rejection message that Eisner repeated to Comcast CEO Brian Roberts upon receiving an informal expression of interest from Roberts in early February. In a research note issued Tuesday, Fulcrum Global Partners analyst Richard Greenfield issued a note that also criticized Disney's tactics in rebuffing Comcast. "We find it curious that the Disney board would instruct Mr. Eisner to read a 'canned' rejection of Comcast's solicitation ... without the board at least entertaining a discussion with Comcast and understanding a potential deal's pricing, terms, synergy arguments, etc...."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ralph Alan Cohen on Blackfriars: "The Most Convenient Place"
Before it became synonymous with a theatre, The Blackfriars was a London precinct literally at the nexus of the City, the Church, and the Court. Ralph Alan Cohen, Director of Mission and Co-Founder of the American Shakespeare Center where he oversaw their building of a replica of the Blackfriars Playhouse, looks at how the place and the playhouse mirrored one another and made the Blackfriars the place to be and the place be seen.

David Schalkwyk and actors from Taffety Punk: Readings from The Roaring Girl
Actors from Washington's Taffety Punk Theatre Company present a staged dramatic reading of excerpts of The Roaring Girl, a bold, brilliant play by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker. The play was first produced in 1611 and was restaged famously in the 1980s by the Royal Shakespeare Company. David Schalkwyk, Folger's director of research, talks about why this "city comedy" reveals so much about Jacobean London.

Torsten Kerl to Perform Tannhäuser
Casting changes continue at the Bayreuth Festival, now only three months away.
This is a revised version of my review of the Sept 5th 1991American premiere of The Death of Klinghoffer, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The opera was first performed at Brussels' La Monnaie the previous spring.
"Although there are now more people on this planet than there have ever been before, there are fewer dramatic voices. Something is wrong with that equation. I thought there needs to be some sort of helping hand so that dramatic voices don't fall through the cracks in the system as they advance through their various stages of development."
Anna Prohaska sings Sister Constance in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites at the Royal Opera House. In the same month, she's also in London to sing a recital with Eric Schneider at the Wigmore Hall, and to sing Henze with Sir Simon Rattle at the Barbican Hall.
Garsington Opera celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Baritone Brandon Coleman's mother, Linda, knew that 3-year old Brandon would be a great singer when a stranger who had heard him, predicted it.
Professional opera returns to the Las Vegas Valley June 6th and 8th with performances of one of the best-known comic operas of all time, Gioachino Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia.
I met with the embattled artistic director of the Opéra et Orchestre National de Montepellier not to talk about his battles. I simply wanted to know the man who had cast and staged a truly extraordinary Mozart/DaPonte trilogy.
Maria Nockin interviews tenor Saimir Pirgu.
Italian conductor Claudio Abbado, former principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, has died aged 80
Matthew Polenzani reprises the role of the Chevalier des Grieux in Jules Massenet's Manon at the Royal Opera House. "I love coming back to London", he says, "It's a very good house and they take care of you as a singer. And the level of music making is unbelievably high".
On Saturday evening January 25, San Diego Opera opens its 2014 season with Ruggero Leoncavallo's verismo blockbuster Pagliacci (Clowns).
The Flying Dutchman is a transitional piece because Wagner was only beginning to establish his style. He took some aspects from Carl Maria von Weber and others from Italian composers like Vincenzo Bellini.
The Royal Opera House has its own DVD arm, Opus Arte, and is developing quite a global following with its cinema broadcasts.
On a personal level, I feel that Dolores is almost like Emmeline grown up. Their circumstances are not exactly parallel, but they are both women at very different points in their lives whose stories involve dilemmas with life-changing outcomes.
With the help of Andrew Welch, a London theatrical producer who had adapted several of King's works for the stage, including this one, I got the rights to both Dolores Claiborne and Misery.
On September 18, 2013, San Francisco Opera will present the world premiere of Tobias Picker's opera, Dolores Claiborne, which has a libretto by J. D. McClatchy based on Stephen King's novel of the same name.
Ermonela Jaho caused a sensation at Covent Garden in London five years ago, when she took over Violetta at short notice from Anna Netrebko.
What do you get if you cross Benjamin Britten, 'one-page scores', an innovative performing ensemble and 'Wigmore Learning' — the Wigmore Hall's imaginative outreach programme which aims to provide access to chamber music and song through innovative creative programmes, online resources and events?
Marseille woke up this past January 11 stunned to find itself number two on the New York Times list of 46 places you should visit in 2013 (Rio was number one, Paris just made the list at number 46).
Casting changes continue at the Bayreuth Festival, now only three months away.
Tenor Lars Clevemann, who sang the title role of Tannhäuser last year, has withdrawn from the role this year. "This was at his own request" explains Festival spokesman Peter Emmerich. He will be replaced by Torsten Kerl.
Kerl is not new to Bayreuth, having sung Balthasar Zorn in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg from 1996 to 2000 in the then-new production by Wolfgang Wagner and was in the cast of The Flying Dutchman in 1998 to 1999.
The controversial Tannhäuser production, by director Sebastian Baumgarten, was greeted by a chorus of boos at the opening last year. In a recent interview, Festival co-director Katharina Wagner acknowledged that the staging needs to be "further developed."

I am building a stand for my wife. It's actually a base for a large (36x36) lizard cage. She loves claw-foot legs, so I purchased these recently:
http://www.vandykes.com/images/products/02008576-lg.jpg I expect to use 2x4's or the like to make the sides of the base, somehow attaching them to the blocks on the legs. The finished exterior pieces will then be attached to the 2x4s, hiding the 2x4s and the blocks completely. (To hide these parts, I plan to mount the exterior trim by countersinking some screws through the trim and into the 2x4s, then glue some pre-made "gingerbread" trim which will hide the screws, then stain and varnish the whole thing. For structural integrity I'll also use a pair of 2x4's as crossmembers, notched in the middle. That part I'm not too worried about.) I'm looking for some input about how to go about attaching these base pieces running between the legs. Should I just put screws through the block and right into the ends of the 2x4s? That seems a little hamfisted and I'm afraid of cracking the wood. Things like "legs" and "blocks" are such generic terms that it's really difficult to search for anything here or on the web in general. As I noted in the subject, I'm a rank amature when it comes to woodworking. (I'm more comfortable up to my elbows in grease and adjusting valve-lash...) |

Doh. "Amateur." :) |
Legs like that are supposed to project into the room.....usually tenons would fit into the squared sections Your end-grain screws are Ham-fisted.....the screws will not hold...... Let me suggest an easier "kitchen-table/legs" approach......take a look......wooden tables generally have removable legs held in place with a bolt/nut thru a brace in each corner Start with a 36x36 inch piece of 3x4" plywood .....(or one sized to fit UNDER the cage) attach aprons on each side.....the aprons could be simply square stock ripped to the leg's top dimension......screwed thru the tabletop with 1 1/2" screws .......the cage will cover any screwheads........... The aprons would NOT touch each other but form a square "hole" sized to fit the purchased leg......The hanger bolt gets screwed diagonally into the inside corner of the leg a diagonal board with a Hole is fastened inside the corner......Or purchase a metal corner.......use hanger-bolt, washer and nut to mount the leg....... YMMV.......good luck |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rockler.......metal corner
- Posted by mcguirev10 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 14, 07 at 9:14
Yes, I know what you mean about the diagonal bolts. I originally considered that (based on how a couple tables I have are assembled) but I didn't know how they got the hanger bolt into the leg, and I definitely didn't know anybody made handy brackets like that -- thanks for the link. I was also kicking around a mortise and tenon arrangement, but my drill-press is currently MIA (we just moved) and in any case I was having some trouble imagining how I'd get that block stable and lined-up right with all the crazy protrusions on the rest of the leg. The corner-bolted setup looks like exactly what I need. Thanks again. |

Weekend Energy Saver: Save Energy With Ceiling Fans
16 Oct, 2009
[Approx. Read Time: 2 minutes]
Ceiling fans used in addition to your air conditioning can save energy by allowing a higher thermostat temperature setting. In the summer or warmer months, use the ceiling fan in the counterclockwise direction. While standing directly under the ceiling fan you should feel a cool breeze. Air movement from the fan evaporates moisture on the skin and makes a person feel cooler. Therefore, you can raise the thermostat and feel just as comfortable. For every degree you raise the air conditioning thermostat, you can save approximately 3 % – 5 % in cooling costs. There is no energy savings if you use a ceiling fan and forget to raise the thermostat.
To get the full effect of your ceiling fan, in the winter or cooler months, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan in the clockwise direction. This causes the warm air circulating near the ceiling to produces a gentle updraft, forcing the warm air down into the room without blowing any cool air.
How Much Energy Do Ceiling Fans Use?
(Here is some useful information on ceiling fans from Progress Energy)
Fans use no more electricity than light bulbs. Typical wattage for various ceiling fan sizes are:
- 36″ = 55 watts
- 48″ = 75 watts
- 52″ = 90 watts
- 56″ = 100 watts
For example, a 48″, 75-watt fan used 10 hours a day at half speed or less would cost $.50 to $.90 a month to operate. For a 1,500-square-foot house with air conditioning using two ceiling fans and raising the thermostat setting could save about $70 to $200 over a six-month cooling season.
Effort: Low if already have ceiling fans, Medium to High if installing Ceiling Fans
Time Required: 5 minutes if already have ceiling fans, 2 hours if installing ceiling fans
Materials Needed: Ceiling Fans (preferably Energy Star) and directions and materials that come with it
1) How to select a ceiling fan: Fan sizes typically range from 34″ to 56″ in diameter. The size of the fan depends of the room dimensions. Below gives a general idea of the size ceiling fan for the size room it is located in.
- 36″ fan for rooms that measure up to 9′ X 12′
- 48″ fan for rooms up to 12′ X 15′
- 56″ fan for rooms larger than 12′ X 15′
2) Installing a ceiling fan: Follow the directions that come with the fan. The following Do-it-Yourself website is also a helpful tool.
Helpful Reminder:
Adjust your thermostat when you have your ceiling fans running. For each degree you lower or raise your thermostat (depending on the season and which direction your fan is rotating), you'll reduce heating or cooling costs 3 % to 5 %.

Cold weather will push up vegetable prices
Phoenix -- This rare cold snap that put the state in the deep freeze will force Arizonans to shell out more for broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce.
The Yuma area supplies most of the nation's winter vegetable crops and the area felt the impacts of the big chill.
Phil Townsend is a pest control adviser in Yuma and said higher prices can be expected at stores for at least a couple of weeks.
"Crops could be delayed to maturity causing a possible decrease in the amount of lettuce and vegetables available on the market."
Last year winter lettuce prices were about $7 per carton. They're now at $25 per carton following the freeze.

Mary-Kate Olsen should know. Her highly publicized battle with an eating disorder culminated in a 2004 stint at an eating disorder clinic. Said Mary-Kate of her struggles: "I think the hardest part to get to is that point of asking for help or reaching out to other people and being honest with yourself. I do not want to go through my life with my eyes shut. And I don't want to go through it with a closed mind. I want to be aware of things. And I'd rather know than not know."

'I Give It A Year' Trailer: In the Grand Tradition of Brits Behaving Badly
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 26, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt's been awhile since we got a truly funny, delectably biting British rom-com shipped over America way. Where is this generation's Four Weddings and A Funeral? Wither a new Bridget Jones's Diary? We'd even accept the merry tears of Love, Actually at this point. And, apparently, the team over at Working Title Films is well aware of that, as the first trailer for their I Give It A Year proudly announces that it's from the same team as both Bridget Jones and Love, Actually within its first ten seconds. Giving the people what they want!
From writer and director (and Ali G alum) Dan Mazer, I Give It A Year follows the hilariously rocky trials and travails of Rose Byrne and Rafe Spall during their characters' first year of marriage. They have…a lot of problems. Give the trailer for I Give It A Year a look after the break, and start placing your bets on just how long this marriage will last.
I Give It A Year opens in the UK on February 8, 2013. We'll keep you posted on when it's set to hit our shores. [Yahoo! Movies UK, via Pajiba]

It's alright, we've all done it. You're rocking out to a song, and as you sing (what you think are) the lyrics at the top of your lungs, someone turns and says, "What did you just say?" Well don't worry, we're here to help! Here's our list of the Top 5 Most Misheard Lyrics.
1. Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bad Moon Rising What We Heard: There's a bathroom on the rightActual Lyric: There's a bad moon on the rise
This lyric is so often messed up that lead singer John Fogerty has actually slipped the "bathroom the right" version into his live performances occasionally.
2. Jimi Hendrix - Purple HazeWhat We Heard: 'Scuse me while I kiss this guyActual Lyric: 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
The chorus from "Purple Haze" became such a popular flub, there is actually an entire website of messed up lyrics entitled KissThisGuy.com.
3. Elton John - Tiny DancerWhat We Heard: Hold me closer, Tony DanzaActual Lyric: Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
It looks like, to us, Tony Danza's still the boss!
4. Pink Floyd - Comfortably NumbWhat We Heard: There is no pain, you are receiving a distant chipmunk on the horizonActual Lyric: There is no pain you are receding, a distant ship's smoke on the horizon
This one came as a disappointment, since we were sort of looking forward to receiving our chipmunk.
5. The Clash - Rock the CasbahWhat We Heard: The sheep don't like it, rockin' the cat boxActual Lyric: Shareef don't like it, rock the Casbah
Even though the lyrics to the song are in the actual title, people still seem to mess this one up! Must be the accent...
