Chevy S10 - GMC S15 and Sonoma Brake Problems
dickaloo Posts: 2as I slow down and am braking everything is OK until I get to about 5 mph then there is a vibration in the brake pedal and the truck pulls to the left. As I get close to stopping completely, it then stops and normal braking resumes. I pulled the ABS fuse and now it doesn't do it but I guess I don't have ABS now. I am guessing a sensor or the motor on the ABS...not really sure. Any Ideas out there? Bob

Some times when I go to hit the breaks. The Pedal will not go down, I have to jam it in or release and reapply to get them to work. It does not have a pattern when it does it. It has happened when im stopping in traffic or as I'm hitting the breaks and hit a bump or as I'm stopping at a light. Some time it feels like it pulls to the left and there is a vibration in the upper left of my dash you can hear it, sounds like where the booster is. AS it is happening I feel it grabbing a little and grinding but it just doesn't want to go down like it is being held up. I have replaced both calipers already. Any thoughts? -
pbaranello Posts: 36The vibration or rattle noise is the ABS unit and on this truck if it is working properly you should not feel it or hear it.
The other problem where the pedal is hard to push down is the Master Cylinder.
I do not remember if both the ABS and Master are the same unit but if you have not solved this problem Get It Done ASAP.
Soon you will find that the pedal will go from hard to push to going right to the floor which means no brakes.......................... -
pgibson354 Posts: 1I am new to forum but need some help. I am working on a 94 sonoma that has been setting for about 3 yrs. When you push the brake pedal it goes to to its normal stopping point then slowly goes to the floor. I bled the brakes, put on a new master cylinder with no change. There are no leaks and no loss of fluid. If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate the help.
life_ Posts: 1i have the same problem as some above mentioned only it grinds and pushes pedal back at me when i come to stop only, which results in a little roll instead of stopping but does stop. i can slow down with no problems unless im jamming the breaks to come to a sudden stop. i have changed the front brake pads and also checked the rear drums, all is good, only thing i can think of is ABS going out, im going to try to pull the fuse and see if the problem persists. Any other advice is always welcome.

deathdif Posts: 2wrong post, sorry. easiest way i found was get a piece of wood just long enough to hold the brake pedal down after you pump it. they do however make hand held devices that claim to do the bleeding system all from the caliper. i have never personally used them however so i couldn't tell you how good/bad they are.
bluebandit_s10 Posts: 1im having a problem when i start to break...the first 15-20 mins of driving when i start to slow down it feels like its "jumpy" the steering wheel starts to shake i dont have trouble stopping but this was a concern to me after driving for a while it doesnt do it..i noticed i had y ac or heat on and when i turned it off it helped...another problem im having is that my enginge feels "heavy kinda" like when im stopped it wont even roll back on a hill like it usually does and it stops if im trying to move forward a little bit..if this doesnt make a whole lot of sense i can try and explain it better
shopdog97 Posts: 159I have a friend who has a '99 S-10 2.2 engine 2WD / auto trans. He says his ABS light is always on now and wonders if it might be a sensor issue. Where would this/these sensors be located? He told me in church Sunday that he knows the ABS unit is working as he had to make a hard stop as someone cut him off the other day and he felt the brake pedal pulse as it does when the unit is working correctly. Any help you can give us on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

This year's Urban Encounters symposium looks at the visual manifestations and effects of movement, mobility and migration on the historic and contemporary city. Over two days, an international line up of artists, academics, and researchers reflect on the nature of flow and flux through and between city spaces with a variety of topics including economic mobility, labour movements, borders, and the migration of things and people.
In addition to a series of panels and presentations, this year's symposium features half a day of workshops, seminars and walks, led by speakers and organisers. Participants will be contacted closer to the event to select from these activities.
The series of panels focuses on the experiences of people and communities, built and architectural environments, urban landscapes, performativity and how material cultures reflect the possibilities and challenges that redefine how we understand the changing faces of everyday urban life. The workshops, seminars and walks provide a more intimate context through which to directly explore and discuss the ideas and themes of the symposium.
This symposium is of particular interest to photographers, artists, film-makers, architects, sociologists, geographers and social researchers whose work addresses notions of social change and the decentring of urban life within an age of expanding globalisation and changing geographic boundaries.
Participants include Bradley Garrett, Paul Halliday, Prof Bill Marshall, Jennifer Bajorek, Paul Goodwin, Adam Kaasa, Xavier Ribas, Lia Chavez, David Kendall, Charlotte Cullinan and Jeanine Richards, as well as a keynote address on Friday by internationally renowned photographer, artist and director Nadav Kander.
Urban Encounters is part of Urban Photo Fest and is organised in partnership with the Centre for Urban and Community Research (CUCR), Goldsmiths, University of London; Kingston University, Oxford University and Openvizor.

Used Honda Accord Reviews
Even though it is mostly commonly sold as a 4-door sedan, used Honda Accords can be found in other styles, including coupes, wagons, and hybrid versions. Within a few years of its launch in the United States in the mid-1970s, Honda Accord became the best-selling import car, since it had the fuel economy buyers wanted after the oil crunch. By 1990, the Accord had grown in size and quality into the mid-sized class. Since 2008 it is now considered full size. Since 2010, there is even the four-wheel drive crossover, the Accord Crosstour. Even though its size has increased, the Accord has bettered its fuel efficiency ratings over time, for a nearly unbeatable combination of style, practicality, and low cost of ownership. Some folks call that value.
With over 10 million units sold, some of the major redesigns that have taken place over the last 37 years have included parting ways with the original 2-speed automatic transmission, and a considerable increase in size, with a 15 inch growth of its wheelbase. Improvements were made to the Accord's stability and handling with a double wishbone system, and a new focus has been placed on security with the addition of anti-lock brakes and other important features, as well as the development of a revolutionary Plug-In Hybrid($39,780 MSRP)—for sale only in California and New York for now.
For 2014, the Honda Accord offers six different styles, including the LX ($21,955 MSRP), Sport ($23,715 MSRP), EX (24,880 MSRP), EX-L ($28,270 MSRP), EX-L V-6 ($30,345 MSRP), and Touring ($33,480 MSRP).
If you want to the latest in technology to make driving easier, safer, and connected, the Touring trim for 2014 includes these features:
- Adaptive cruise control that lets you set a speed to hold steady but also can slow the car to stay a certain distance from the car in front of you.
- Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with Voice Recognition and
- Honda´s LaneWatch technology will activate a live camera on the passenger side whenever you use the right turn signal to display video that covers four times the area shown in the side-view mirror.
- A Forward Collision Warning system uses radar to tell when you are at risk of a front collision, activating an audio and visual warning.
- A touchscreen audio system that lets you easily access music whether that means using Bluetooth to stream audio or just play the radio.
These features make for an easier, more relaxed drive. Even with the base model, the Honda Accord's traditional dependability and sturdy construction make it a great family car or daily commuter's dream.
The Honda Accord is safety-oriented with many safety-related features as standard equipment, including anti-lock brakes, electronic brake distribution, tire pressure monitoring, daytime running lights, as well as dual and side curtain airbags. Because of its sturdy construction, the 2014 Honda Accord 4-door sedan has received a "Good" rating in crash tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in areas such as moderate overlap frontal offset, small overlap frontal offset, side impact, and roof strength.
- The Honda Accord is a favorite of those who are conscious of the environment, and because of the brand's focus on this aspect it has been named "Green Car of the Year" for 2014 by Green Car Journal.
- Car and Driver magazine has kept it on its Best 10 Cars list every year since 1998.
- The Accord Plug-in Hybrid has created great expectations surrounding its efficiency and it is expected to exceed 100 miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent, making it not only reliable, but one of the most efficient vehicles in its class on the market today.
- As part of the improved safety features of the vehicle, all variants of the Honda Accord now include an 8-inch LCD screen single angle backup camera, designed to help prevent accidents, as well as make parking easier and faster.
- All in all, the Honda Accord is a great option for young families, or anyone who wants a well-built, reliable car.

Cartoon Summary:
After mass, the family gathered at Grandma and Grandpa's house, as they did every Sunday. With everyone talking at once, it sounded like a family of crows cawing while perched on hydro lines. The town factory has closed its doors and, naturally, the adults can't stop fretting about their money problems. On this particular Sunday, one of the village boys places a coin on the train tracks. Imagine his astonishment when, picking up the coin after a train has run over it, he discovers some amazing changes. Sunday, young filmmaker Patrick Doyon's first film, is a magical tale that imparts important lessons about life as seen through the eyes of a child.

Keep an eye on your startup file with StartupEye
Monitor changes to your registry as they happen with this compact freeware.
Your PC takes longer and longer to boot up, and unfamiliar icons appear in your system tray. You open System Configuration, click Startup, and see the reason: programs register themselves to start when Windows starts, whether you need them or want them to. You can uncheck them and reboot, but wouldn't it be better to prevent them from setting up shop in the first place? With StartupEye, you can. This small, free tool runs unobtrusively in the background, popping up with a warning any time a program tries to modify your registry. You can then allow or deny the changes, delete files, view their properties, open target folders, and even open keys directly in Registry Editor.
We admit that when StartupEye opened the first time with its own registry values and file location displayed, it was tempting to click Delete to see if anything interesting happened. StartupEye is designed to prevent surprises, not cause them, but the display serves as a fine first glimpse of what this simple but useful tool does. It displayed the current key, the date and time of the change, the specific registry value, and the file's location in Windows. Clicking tiny icons opened regedit, Explorer, or a given file's properties sheet. Other than OK and Delete buttons, the only other feature is a Scan File button that uploads a tool called Virus Total, an online security scanner and MD5 file checker. StartupEye's only options are to run at startup and play an audible alarm; we accessed them through the program's system tray icon, which also links to the developer's Web site.
StartupEye is a great idea and a great way to keep unwanted and unneeded programs from crowding your startup menu. While it's not exactly for beginners, tweaker, overclockers, gamers, and other advanced users will find it quite useful, especially for keeping Windows slim and trim to boot from an ultrafast SSD. Even as SSD capacities grow, keeping junk data out in the first place will make your drive last longer and perform better. If you like the idea of knowing about changes to your registry before they happen, try StartupEye.

Thankyou Deb for a job well done. We have the greatest group of gardners anywhere around. The food wa great and the desserts were sinful. The only thing that did not turn out too well was the temperatures. It was beastly hot. Looking forward to seeing you all next year. Happy Gardening. |
Yes, thanks to Deb and everyone else who came to the plant swap today! Despite the heat, it was a lot of fun. |
Hi all, You guys are awesome! I think the swap was a wonderful success. I again want to thank you all so much for everything. The food and plants were both topnotch, plus it was so nice to meet you all. My sister had a great time and will have a big headstart on her new garden because of your generousity.

Deb - I couldn't find you when we were leaving to say thank you for a great job today, and to everyone else who contributed to another successful swap. We would have stayed longer, but the heat was just too overwhelming :-( It was great to see you all from last year again and to meet new garden friends. Now the real work begins...... Thanks again, Carol |

Oh Ladies what I hoot! So much fun.....and the loot I got to bring home is just phenomenal. Thank you so much for coming and bringing such wonderful stuff......I'm pretty sure I've got something from each and every one of you all! I'm glad I could do the postings and keep the swap going this year, and I definitely want to be involved again next year......I'm already planning on things I will be able to bring and share....isn't that funny?? You were all so nice to my boys too, and they surprisingly held up really well even in the extruciating heat, and I thank you for that as well. Next year we'll take two cars....the kids can leave with dad when they've had enough and I can have more room in the truck for plants!!! I couldn't stay to the very end because the kids were at their breaking point, but I hope that each and every plant found a home. Happy planting! ~Deb |

I also have to add my thanks to Deb and everyone else for making this year's swap a great success. Since I arrived a bit late, I didn't have a chance to meet all of you, but I enjoyed those of you I did talk with, and hope to "re-meet" you all at next year's exchange! Hopefully the weather will cooperate next June and will not be so amazingly hot and muggy, but instead will be a beautiful, mild, sunny but not hot day, right??? Thanks to all of you whose plants will soon have a new home in my gardens (as soon as the heat and humidity leave us, that is!). You're an awesome group of people, and I'm glad to be a part of the GW plant lovers community!! adkmountaingirl |
Thanks again, Deb! Nice job!!! Thanks to everyone else for the wonderful plants also. I had planned on planting out Sunday but it was just as hot as Saturday and I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I was able to get my Japanese 'floppy' into the ground, Kareen! Such a neat plant!!! I think it's going to be very happy with all of this rain. At least the rain has cooled things off a bit. It was also very nice to meet the new girls and your families! Offtrackbetty - I've already gotten a bag of that corn gluten for my weeds! Thanks for the tip and all the wonderful plants. I think half your garden is at my house now LOL! Flowerchild - my order for the "Bug Off Spritzer" has already been delivered! It's an all-natural bug repellent made from rosemary, eucalptus, geranium, citronella, witch hazel, and vitamin E. If anyone wants the website it's: www.sunfeather.com. It smells good and should help keep the skeeters at bay. I really appreciate those that took some extras because my car was really loaded going home!!! I had to stack things on top of each other! Anne Marie and Ladybug hung in there to the very end in that heat to help me pack back up. My leftovers are going out on Freecycle so there will be another happy gardener in our area! |

See if you can access the BIOS as a guest, and I believe you can delete the password from there.
You can also read the link below and see if that method works.
You can also try this which I copied and pasted from another post...
The 6930p should have basically the same BIOS structure as an 8530p which is not much more than a 6930p with a 15.6" screen and an HDMI out port.
Hi all
with regards to accessing the bios on this HP laptop 6930p elitebook I too had the same trouble
after trying every avenue on multiple posts across the world I decided to try my own method
here is how I was able to finally gain access
the laptop I was repairing was running windows vista but was completely locked out I couldn't even boot into windows as the password for the so and for protect tools was unknown
I did the following
1. Remove the laptop hdd and wipe it using a PC ( install it to the shut down PC, turn on, boot in, the os will ask you to either format the hdd before it can be used or you will have to locate it in disk management)
2. Remove all hard drives that might contain info or windows installs from the said PC leaving just the laptop hard drive in
3. Start the install process of windows 7 on the PC
4. Once the installation process of windows 7 has expanded all files to the laptop hdd and wants the first restart let it shut down the PC, turn off the power completely (for safety reason ofc) and remove the laptop hdd from the PC and replace it back into the laptop
5. Turn the laptop on and quickly insert the win 7 install disc into the laptop DVD rom drive
6. Now this is the good part, because you have installed the os to the first restart no drivers have been installed to the hdd tying it to the PC you started the process off on so the laptop will just resume the installation of windows 7 to the laptop
7. Once all system drivers have been installed go to the HP website and download all the protect tools in the security section on the downloads page and install them, once installed you will be able to set a new bios password
be warned though, removal of the original bios administrator password will still not be possible but you will have full access to the bios
on restarting the laptop if (F10) is pressed to access the bios you will see the new operator as well as the old administrator, select the new one, enter the password you set in protect tools and your in!!!

So if you're thinking that with all the logistics you're managing, there's no time for an add-on strategy about building your daughter's self-esteem, don't worry. You can make a difference in the way your daughter sees herself with a few well-placed words, spoken from the heart.
Far from being one more task that there is no hope of completing, enhancing your children's self-esteem can happen continuously just from your style of interacting with them. In other words, putting a little twist on the conversations you're already having can build your children's confidence in themselves.
Here are three powerful ways you can do it — in as little as 90 seconds:
1. Be curious. "Mom," twelve-year-old Haley announces happily, "I got a B+ on my science test!" "Wow, that's a big change, Haley! How'd you do that?" asks Nancy, with genuine curiosity. "I met with Mr. Riley during lunch last week and he told me some ways to study. I made flashcards while I read the chapter and then practiced with them fifteen minutes every day. The test was easy!" Haley and her brother buckle their seat belts, and Nancy climbs in and starts the car. "You really took control of that situation! You asked Mr. Riley for help and then taught yourself the chapter and practiced it. That's awesome, Haley!"
Nancy didn't say, "That's good, sweetie." She didn't say, "What can you do to get an "A" next time?" She didn't say, "That's what happens when you study!" Instead, she gave Haley an opportunity to say aloud the specific actions she had taken on her own to earn a B+ — and then she reflected those back. Haley now sees herself as just a little more effective and capable. She feels empowered, seen, appreciated.
2. Validate. "Heyyyyyyy, Rachel," Ann says softly, as she walks over to the sofa where her daughter is angrily crouched. "What's up?" "Nothing!" Rachel says, angrily. "It's not nothing," Ann answers gently. "Tell me — " "Some kids were talking during math, so Ms. Stafford gave the whole class an extra twenty-five problems to do tonight! It's mean! I wasn't even talking!" "It seems very unfair to punish the whole class," Ann says quietly. "It's not fair! I am soooo mad!" Rachel is sitting up now, facing her mom. "I think I would be, too, Rachel. That's a lot of extra work." "I know, Mom. What am I going to do???" Rachel's anger has subsided. "Well… why don't we go fix a snack and try to figure that out?"
Again, the key lies as much in what Ann doesn't do as in what she does. She does not call out a correction about Rachel's noisy entrance. She doesn't address the forbidden television viewing; the rules are reinforced by her mere presence. She does not defend the teacher, and she doesn't demand that Rachel settle down!
Instead, she simply validates Rachel's feelings. Even though she is undoubtedly still upset with her teacher, Rachel now feels understood and accepted by her mom. That translates into the belief that "My feelings are understandable and I am acceptable." And that is the foundation of self-esteem.
3. Understand her.
Paula, her mom, is all ears. "Tell us!" she says, smiling.
"I'm going to work with people who have ebola," says Elizabeth, seriously.
Paula swallows hard. Her mind swirls in scenarios that all have bad endings. She is tempted to say whatever she can to shut this idea down.
But she resists. Instead, she says, "That's an amazing idea, Elizabeth. Tell me what has gotten you interested in ebola."
"These people need help, Mom, and most everyone is afraid to even be around them. I might be afraid, but I think I can do it!"
"That takes tremendous courage, Elizabeth," her mom says with sincerity. "How do you think you might want to help?"
This conversation, like the other two, could have gone a very different way. But Paula's genuine responses leave Elizabeth feeling understood and respected. She tucks away in that growing database of "self," the seed of a belief that "I am courageous." Nothing has to be decided today. There is plenty of time in the future for her to consider and weigh many career choices.
A virtuous circle. Your words can transform the way your daughter sees herself. As her self-esteem grows, you'll find yourself noticing that she becomes more independent and needs fewer corrections and reminders. Not only does that save energy and open up more time, it also quietly builds the trust and bond between you. It's a virtuous circle: your affirming responses increase her belief in herself. This, in turn, empowers her to become more independent. That builds your trust, you respond with genuine recognition and appreciation — and around and around it beautifully goes.
]]>Totally unexpectedly, five-year-old Lia led me to a new way to take a breather.
There's something wondrous about providing your total focus to small children — creating a kind of Zen all its own. I love this, because it shapes a space for them to say and be all that is within them – and to feel fully heard and understood. A sacred trust is formed in that space – and the foundation for them to have a strong and reliable sense of identity and self-worth is strengthened. To me, this is fabulous magic.
That's what was on my mind when I sat down at the table with Lia. What I didn't anticipate was the additional gift that the experience would provide for me.
Lia wanted to color. Like thousands of other little girls right now, she is enthralled with the hit movie Frozen. Stories provide powerful opportunities to learn values and courage, to try on new behaviors, to imagine oneself in totally new ways — this is true for both adults and kids — and the characters in Frozen totally captivated Lia.
So on this day Lia opened up a Frozen coloring book. She chose her page and then made a quick assessment of what picture she could spare for me, landing on one with more detail than her little fingers could cope with. "You can have this one. It's too much work," she said, matter-of-factly and with no remorse. And so we colored.
My page showed Elsa in a long gown, its fabric full of delicate swirls and panels. Because the dress was gathered and did not hang straight, the swirls varied in size and shape. I did my limited best to choose colors that were pleasing together, and then I began to fill in the outline, bringing it to life. Lia was busily doing the same, leaving my mind free to float, magic carpet style, here, there and everywhere, while gently focused on the softly flowing patterns in front of me. Only when Lia's voice rang out unexpectedly, calling that it was time to move on, did I realize the calm trip I'd been on.
Zen. A peaceful, meditative place where my intuition was free to take my thoughts to wherever I needed to go. Coloring could take me to this place?
Determined to repeat this experience as needed, I went shopping for my own coloring book and markers. I debated about color-by-numbers and symmetric designs like mandalas, but realized after a couple of false starts that this created a driven quality to the experience, with a focus on completion – a loss of the chance to follow an intuitive path. My next purchases were two books of detailed outlines, the first of scenes of Paris (too demanding — I'll never get the colors right) and the second of the natural world — full of delightfully wiggly salamanders and frogs — perfect!
We adults need, in our own unique ways, the interruption of play – to have this experience for the mind to expand in its own direction, often so different from the myriad wild goose chases of everyday life – like the rowdy game of Hide & Seek that followed this interlude of solitude –
I'd love to know what takes you to that place. If you're willing to share, please post your favorites on my Facebook Page for others to enjoy!

For my part, I disintegrate rapidly into disgraceful remarks when forced to shop; I did not have a dress until three weeks before The Day. This needlessly worried the groom [read: "prepared him for The Future : )"].
If you have a four-year-old in your life, you know that these little sprites are not all that predictable [not at all predictable], which surely adds a charming bit of suspense to a carefully choreographed processional. A rehearsal, we felt, was definitely in order.
So, on the sunny Sunday before the wedding, we assembled at the park — Belle, her mommy and daddy, the bride and groom and friends. A seat was found for Mommy, doctor's orders as Belle's baby sister, not due for another month, was rushing the clock. That left Daddy to manage the dry run (a prescient term if ever there was one).
Three Keys to Helping an Anxious Child
Key #1: Reflect, don't deflect, feelings.
Key #2: Tune into the whole picture, not only the feelings that are most prominent.
Key #3: Use actions as well as words to reflect a deep understanding of your child's inner experience.
Here's what my son-in-law fully understood about Belle. Everything he did came from being tuned into these traits, feelings and strengths:
Helping Belle tackle this challenge would require him to reflect these feelings back to her through both his words and his actions, that is, to be a Mirror. Further he would need to stabilize her as her fears threatened to take over, and model for her what to do. Mirror, Anchor, Mentor.
Here's how it looked.
The Rehearsal
Act I – Overwhelm
Take 1 – Refusal
Belle hides behind Mommy and refuses to come out.
Take 2 – "Peek-a-Boo"
Daddy tunes into her fears as well as to her desire to do what she has set out to do. He changes direction completely and begins a gentle game of peek-a-boo with her. Belle emerges from behind the chair and allows herself to be taken by the hand.
Take 3 – "Follow the Leader"
Daddy walks the path that Belle will walk, scattering dried leaves from a basket as he goes. He invites Belle to follow him. Belle watches carefully and begins to walk, carrying her own basket.
Take 4 – Belle Makes No Promises
Little notice is taken of Belle as she exits the path we've plotted and begins cantering along the grassy risers of the amphitheater. From afar, we chuckle, and I think of her Aunt Elise making a nice hit in T-Ball and then skipping around the bases, beginning with third.
My son-in-law knows her avoidance is not refusal; her sidetracks are not shows of defiance. All of this goes on in unpressured slow motion, as if we were settling in for an all-day picnic.
Soon, he offhandedly calls her back, and they begin again. He provides positive information "That's good, Belle," and feedback – "Remember to scatter your leaves" — with no evidence of frustration – sort of like a game of "Marco – Polo" — letting her know whether she's on target or straying. Each run-through is an engineered success. In each he adds a new element in a very offhand, laid-back way.
Act II – Committed
Scene 1: Belle on her own
Belle, now confident that she can do what is being requested, walks gaily along the route, scattering her leaves as she goes.
Scene 2: Belle and Mimi – not a dry eye
Belle leads the way and I follow, just as we will next week. It is a moment – a gem – as we walk the path under a blue sky, Belle scattering leaves for Mimi.
Scene 3: Belle cleans up the mess
The run-through is a victory. Belle, who has organizational skills that many adults would envy, begins at the beginning of the path and carefully picks up the leaves and replaces them in her basket. The grown-ups look on with amusement and hearts overflowing for this bundle of love called Belle.
What could have happened
You can learn a lot from what is absent in an interaction – but you have to think about it, because, by definition, what is missing is silent.
Nobody yelled, "NO, Belle!"
Nobody tried to evoke guilt: "Belle, Mimi is counting on you. Come on –"
No one told Belle she was wrong for withdrawing: "Belle – don't hide behind mommy. Come out and say 'hi'."
Nobody pressured her: "Belle – everybody's waiting –"
Nobody made her wrong for picking up the leaves: "Belle – NO! Don't clean them up!"
In fact, Belle was never "made wrong" for anything she felt or did. If any of these things had happened, the result would have been a meltdown, completely unlike the peaceful scene that actually played out.
Empathic Mobilization– an abbreviation (action rather than words) of a complex process
You may have noticed that very little verbal interaction happened here. This is a sort of abbreviation: rather than reflect her feelings verbally, Belle's father reflects them within his choice of actions. So – he does not say, "You're anxious about getting it right." Instead, he surrounds her with support and engineers success after success. This works very well with younger children who do not yet have the vocabulary or capacity to process things verbally.
Although her fears may be more prominent in the moment, her PRIMARY DRIVER is the desire to be Mimi's Flower Girl – and he knows and trusts this. At the same time, he is aware of her discomfort with mistakes; aware that she was stressed. Knowing all of this guides his actions:
His actions effectively communicate to Belle that she is understood and that her feelings are both acceptable to and accepted by him.
The Flower Girl's Triumph
That beautiful day practicing in the park was such a gift! The day of our wedding, the blue turned to gray and the skies opened up in a massive downpour. And you know what? It was perfect. We quickly set up the chairs in Wildflower House, Belle's daddy created a masking tape line for her to follow in these new surroundings – and Belle, now full of confidence and delight in her role, dropped rose petals all along the way.
And – she didn't pick them back up : ).
One long-ago wintry afternoon, the cover of a magazine left on the sofa caught my eye. In enticing contrast to the grayness outside, here was a photo of the most magnificent morning glories – along with the directions for creating an indoor window trellis, a veritable curtain of morning glories — right there in the middle of November. I could create spring – in my living room — now.
Ten years and one house later, I found the time to act on that idea. This time, I had a garden window — perfect! Nothing more needed than to grab a couple of terracotta pots and some potting soil, drop in the seeds – and watch them grow.
Which they did – fantastically. Before long at all, the vines had blooms on them, and they climbed gently up the window toward the sun. Their name is no accident, I learned — the blooms greeted me for morning coffee and folded up by dusk. Nothing going wrong there – it's in their DNA; they're morning people (see #2 below).
To state it gently, I'm not a reliable waterer of plants. Animals and children I am careful to keep hydrated, but plants I have always expected would adjust to my rhythm. This works well with, say, philodendrons and pothos. (I left one of those in the garage for two months after we moved to House #3 – and it did better there than when I was taking care of it. Which maybe is not a good character reference…)
Anyway, morning glories do not flex to the preferences of their caregivers. Three times or more, I started the seeds (easy) and then … relaxed… on the watering, and three times the blooming vines turned up their toes and opted for becoming compost.
Despite these sad results, the mental image of a window alive with blooms persisted, and when I set out to transform the eat-in kitchen in House #3 into a French bistro complete with twinkle lights, the plants in wrought iron hangers on the walls were joined by a soon-to-be beautiful pot of morning glories in the window. And – they grew right away. At least the vines did. The blooms, which took months to appear rather than weeks in this east-facing window, were few and far between. When I was sick for a few days and neglected them, the whole thing went all autumn on me and died. The next time around, the absolute jungle of vines that grew had only one bloom, and once again, perhaps over-watered this time, suddenly expired.
But I'm not quitting. Morning glories – Take 8. Taking it from the top –
I share this with you because the Morning Glory Experiments provide a metaphor that offers some solid principles for raising girls. For example:
Do you sometimes lament the fading of your girls' infant and toddler days, of their gap-toothed elementary school pictures; the passage from the innocence of childhood to the complex world of adolescence? A close friend of mine experiences this very differently. "I am so excited to see who they will grow up to be!" he says. He really means this, and he watches for what is developing with his girls and champions it; he waits with fascination to learn who they are becoming.
Girls are an unpredictable mix of mathematicians, scientists, artisans, athletes, writers, and gymnasts… They range from neat & tidy to laissez-faire; tone deaf to musical; serious to whimsical, each a seed of potential with infinite possible permutations. That is why it is such a sacred pursuit to experiment, with first tries and next tries, to create the environment that will uniquely nurture each of your girls and allow them to bloom in ways you cannot now imagine.
Last year's Fourth of July was my three-year-old granddaughter Belle's first introduction to colors streaming across the sky and their powerful boom!
Although my daughter Kate willfully bypassed Girl Scouts, she is definitely aligned with the "Be prepared" motto. Accordingly, the fireworks were explained to Belle well in advance – everything she could expect, from the dark of night to the beautiful colors that would paint the sky to the thundering racket she would hear.
She practiced at home with a sound-blocking headset – a way to cope "in case," she explained to me reassuringly, as we sat in lawn chairs that night, waiting for the show to begin.
"Just in case" swiftly became "for real". The first boom had Belle plastered in her mama's arms, as if held by centrifugal force, all bravado having fled, and, with a few whimpers, taking full advantage of the headset her parents had anticipated her with.
Having regained her sense of control, relief visibly spread through her, and she relaxed with mommy and began to enjoy the celebration. After a few minutes, she remarked – clearly having given the matter some thought — "I like the noise." From then on, it was pure pleasure.
(I've just realized that my two favorite holidays take place in the dark – Halloween and the Fourth of July. There's something about darkness, the way sound travels, the intimacy that it provides, that brings people close in a way that is rare –)
Traffic was at a standstill leaving the park. This is part of the ritual, this island of unpressured time after the fireworks, and soon we were enveloped by the sound of Kate singing in the dark as we sat in traffic. She invited Belle to sing along.
"It's my best song," Belle told me, a little shyly now, and she kept her song inside herself as her mother came to the final bar.
"Maybe sometime you will feel like singing it to me," I answered.
"I didn't sing it tonight," she said, a statement of fact, laced with the slightest tinge of regret.
"You didn't feel like it," I interpreted for her.
"I didn't feel like it" she said contemplatively. Softly, as though she were trying it on.
When the traffic subsided and we finally began to move along again, Belle called out the green lights. "Green light, GO!" came her strong little voice from the car seat.
"She understands 'yield' and 'caution,' too," my son-in-law Mark said, with a combination of contained admiration and pride.
"Sometimes she tells Mark to slow down," said my daughter. I could hear the smile of pleasure in her voice that her child is empowered to ask for what she needs — and knows it.
"I say, 'Slow down, daddy,'" Belle's voice sang out in the darkened car.
My son-in-law, who is the polar opposite of a Type A driver and is a thousand times more likely to be found meandering under the speed limit than rocketing above it, showed not an ounce of discomfiture. Far from feeling offended or disrespected, he would want to know if his tiny girl was afraid in the car, and he would want her to say so. Perhaps he was thinking, as I was, that someday if she is in a car with a boy who is putting her at risk, she will not trade away her safety for silence out of the belief that speaking her needs will cost her the relationship. She will be certain, because of the way her daddy responds to her now, at the age of three, that boys are responsible to respect her feelings and her needs, even if they disagree; even if their pride is a little bruised. Mark's innate wisdom in this – the intuition that in order for children to be assertive with their peers, it has to have been consistently safe and free of repercussions for them to be assertive with their parents – earns him my deepest gratitude and respect. My granddaughter is in good hands with these two – and her example of a man is a strong, wise and gentle papa bear (who also happens to do great voices for her stuffed animals : )).
The fireworks so vivid in the inky sky were secondary to the joy of hearing a child's fearless voice ring out clear as a crystal bell, such a perfect manifestation of freedom on that magical night.
I have listened to this song again and again all week long. I have listened again today.
It's not the ideas — in the first verse — of forgetting to look around us – forgetting to "look for the helpers", as Mr. Rogers said — that mattered so much to me. It's not the gentle reprimand about being so caught up inside ourselves that we take when we should give.
It's this:
Tonight we pray for what we know can be
and on this day we hope for what we still can't see.
To pray for "what we know can be;" to hope for "what we still can't see" — how deeply comforting to validate the significance of the wish even when we have no vision of the means to manifest it.
The music of Christmas helps my heart. I think it reaches a universal place in the soul, and in doing that, it is able to span even beyond its tremendous religious significance. This song, on the album, was followed by "The First Noel" — which I have always associated with an image of a lone evergreen on a snowy hill with a bright star in a navy velvet sky — though I suppose it was nothing like that at all, of course — but the picture embodies peace in the purity of the snow, in the sacred bond of mother and infant, in the light of truth and love in the sky, in its innocence, so lovingly conveyed in "The Little Drummer Boy," as well. Not least, the music of Christmas brings back to me, poignantly, even in the midst of tragedy, our potential for joy.
So this is the hope, this is the star to fervently pray for, even though we cannot begin to see the path to purifying our planet with its light of truth. We don't know how, but it is in our hearts, nonetheless. We are human. We are limited. We can only lay this long-stretching path one brick at a time; that is inherent in being human and perhaps not a deficit at all.
But it is also this message that comforts me, that affirms where I am right now: the message that what has happened — and our raw awareness of what can happen in the future — this is too big for us not to cry today.
Look beyond ourselves; there's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say, I'll cry tomorrow.
Each of us must find our truth;
It's so long overdue.
I am so shaken, my heart is so heavy. But there is real value in my holding in my heart that vision of a world that is carpeted by a fresh covering of jubilant wildflowers reaching for the sky – implicit their innate purity of spirit and the beauty of being free to bloom; the preciousness of each blossom celebrated and protected, a world swathed in love and care — even if there is no path in sight. In that connection of hearts and hopes, we are no longer powerless.
I suppose the answer lies in our teaching our children well; they are the fresh covering that can choke out the hatred. I believe that my part, what I can contribute, is to free, in some small way, within each person whom I touch, the power of their essence and to provide the nurturance for that seed to grow — because it is in ordinary genius, it is within the essence of the human core, whatever visible covering chances to surround it, if it is not silenced, if it is amplified and allowed to heard, that our solutions will appear, and in which, perhaps, they already exist.
Even with our differences, there is a place we're all connected.
Each of us can find each other's love.
So for tonight we pray for what we know can be
and on this day we hope for what we still can't seeIt's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more
There's so much to be thankful for.
The world is no stranger to terrible things; its sorrows began before us and will almost certainly extend after. Oh, how we wish our children did not have to ever know! But that's not our job. Our job is to be there when they find out, to help them have the resilience to cope with what they know and still remain optimistic about life. It is our job, through our own courage, to show them that although hearts break, they also heal.
If we cannot fix the world for them, what then? I hope you will find in this final treasure, as I have, compassion for our limitations in what we can do, indeed in what we can even envision:
"It is not incumbent upon you to complete the work,
but neither are you at liberty to desist from it."[(Avot 2:21) attributed to Rabbi Tarfon.]
For me, that means to do what I can do to make the world a better place — for one person at a time.
Wishing you comfort and joy, as well,
Fran Hendrick
"If the path before you is clear," said Joseph Campbell, "you're probably on someone else's."
Whether the next steps you're struggling with have to do with your classes, your major, your parents or a significant relationship, you may not be able to see beyond the very next brick in the path. Life can't come with a map because each life, each person is different. This article is about helping you as you choose each step on your own path. It's about having the courage to celebrate your own unique journey.
So, let's get started.
In the first place, I've got a bone to pick with Hollywood. There's nothing like movie heroes to make you feel insecure. The message is: life is predictable and even when it's not, you should be competent to handle it. It's all a great adventure, you're the hero, and heroes can resolve their challenges in an hour or so.
Well, thanks a heap. Because propaganda like that makes you feel like you're doing something wrong when your life takes an unexpected turn. It makes you feel incompetent when you haven't got a clue about what to do in the circumstances.
"Real lives are made up of a series of challenges, problems," a mentor once told me. And guess what – she should have added. There's constantly a new circumstance that you've never faced before, and you don't have the experience or the knowledge to simply know what to do and do it.
Real lives are made up of complications like these:
Well, you can relax on one score: there's nothing wrong or even unusual about you if something crazy has happened and you're completely stumped about what to do with the problems you're currently facing.
Here's what another great thinker, Andrea Lee, has to say: "Learning is what happens when you (really, really, really) don't know what to do."
The temptation is to look for a road map to tell you what to do next and next and next.
But what's so fantastic about life – and so scary – is that you get to create your path. You don't get to choose all the circumstances, that's for sure. But you do have a lot of wiggle room to choose how to handle them. And that's what makes you come alive! Following someone else's map, doing what someone else did, isn't you living your life! It's you living someone else's life!
Let me share with you a longer version of the quote from Joseph Campbell that this article began with:
"If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path."
Do you remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? They often come to mind for me as an analogy. Each book consists of a non-linear set of very short chapters. At the end of each chapter, the reader has to choose between two or three alternatives of what to do next. Based on that choice, she's directed to a subsequent chapter. Each reader has a different experience.
But even in those books, the alternatives are limited and provided by someone else. In your life, you get to invent the alternatives for responding to each set of circumstances – completely!
Now that's an amazing opportunity.
]]>Often people feel that seeking help with their lives means that they are somehow less,when what it really signifies is their courage. My clients are, truly without exception, wonderful, amazing people, and many of them have had in common one thing: Someone in their life has dealt them a heavy blow; someone has injured them, and they need relief from the pain and healing of the injury. So sadly, the injury is often compounded by the belief that somehow they are to blame for it. They should have prevented it, should have interrupted it, should have found the right words, should have turned right instead of left — surely there is something they should have done that would reassure them that they had control of the situation. That belief may reduce their fear for the future, but it comes with the price of ongoing depression and anxiety, a feeling of always being at fault.
In fact, being on the receiving end of another person's bad behavior does not mean that you are less or that you are to blame. It means that you were simply living your life and found yourself in the middle of someone else's drama. Often that's an entirely random occurrence; other times it's because people who have a need to control and destroy others — flower stompers, I call them, and there are both women and men who fit this description — have radar for women who trust and see the best in everyone they meet, or who do not see themselves deserving of being valued. In fact, when emotional, physical or sexual mistreatment happen to an unsuspecting child, it's not unusual for the patterns of behavior she learns in order to survive and the expectations she develops about relationships to result in her being victimized again as an adult.
Not. Her. Fault. Not your fault.
I often find myself in awe of the great courage my clients summon up in order to extricate themselves from relationships and situations in which they or their children are being victimized — courage that their luckier friends may never have to seek within themselves and therefore cannot fully appreciate. Is finding a way out of trauma, out of depression — and into a vibrant life being less? No, no, no! It is game spirit at its best.
The painful situation you are in, the fear and anxiety and depression you may feel; all hold the clues for finding your way out. Don't hesitate for a moment in getting help to surface those clues and understand them. It's hard, it can be painful — and it's also exciting, rewarding and will fill your heart. This is your journey, the one that you create by taking yourself out of the way of the flower-stomper, healing your wounds, and growing stronger and even more luminous as a result.
What has suddenly become obvious to me, partly from talking with girls and partly because some very wise moms have recognized the warning signs in their daughters, is that learning to recognize and reject emotional abuse needs to start at a very young age. It starts with moms refusing to accept abuse, and with both moms and dads teaching their daughters that they do not owe their well-being to anyone — and that anyone who would compromise it is not "one of the good guys".
The frequency that the issue of relationship abuse is part of my day suddenly hit critical mass and triggered me to really search the internet for resources to educate women and girls, and to empower them to walk proudly away from those who do not have their best interest at heart. While the tips, quizzes and information here were created for adolescents, they are equally valid for adults. Read them with both yourself and your daughters in mind. You'll find those resources below — beginning with the promised 10 warning signs that you — or your teen — may be in an abusive relationship.
Resource List
A High School Student's Nightmare — story from People magazine
www.dosomething.org– this is a really interesting organization that allows high school students to connect with some amazing causes and be a part of the work.
Book list of novels where dating abuse is a central theme
As time allows, browse these websites. They're full of supportive information; I've only pulled out some of the highlights.
The raison d'etre for my work with clients can be found in the credo, Your Voice, Your Self. I strive to create a place where each woman and girl — so that you — can know, with utter certainty that:
You are a separate, defined entity in spirit and in body;
you exist as such and belong to yourself alone.
No one can have any legitimate claim on your identity or your physical self;
you can not owe to anyone the debt of being other than who you are.
You can create your niche in this world.
That is the potential that lies within you.

For example. It's 5:00, and the Arsenic Hour is in full swing. The baby's crying, your kindergartner is racing across the house in her beloved, but muddy rubber frog boots, and dinner is burning. Maternal bliss is nothing but a pipe dream; in fact, bliss seems far more probable on an desert island.
"Never mind, Mary, the kids are fine! Isn't it great that you can be with them full time?" says your mother through the phone.
But it doesn't feel great. You feel trapped and tired — and now, on top of the misery, you feel ungrateful, as well. Because how many moms would give their eye teeth for the opportunity that you have?
Your husband looks at the mud-streaked carpet and says, "It's no big deal. Don't be mad at her." But it feels like a huge deal — and you are mad. And tired. Resentful, even. In fact, the more he and your mom spout Pollyanna platitudes, the worse you feel.
Why? Because in their efforts to reassure you, what they have conveyed to you is that your actual feelings are not the feelings that they want you to have. And now you are even more upset, because it seems that you aren't being who you should be. You know — calm, serene, philosophical about small children and filthy carpet — and happy.
When you're in a bad situation and sinking fast, comments like: "It's really okay;" "Don't cry," or "Things are not so bad," while usually well-intended, widen the gap between how you really are and how you're being told you should be. Your sense of self is divided between your real feelings and required façade of should be's. The wider that gap gets, the lower your self-esteem dips and the more depression and disconnection grow. That well-intended reassurance has backfired big time.
But what if your mom had said, "Gosh, you're having a bad day. Sometimes you just wish you could escape the madness," and your husband had given you a knowing hug, grabbed the muddy boots before another step could be taken and said, "Hard day?"
When your feelings are fully understood, reflected and accepted, the gap disappears as the "What I should be" and "What I am" slide back together.
You feel accepted and acceptable — angry, ungrateful feelings and all. Immediately, your self-esteem and self-worth begin to bubble back. Depression dissipates. Your energy is freed up, resilience and resourcefulness kick in, and you begin to have the strength to solve the problem.
The reassurance that really can help is the certainty that whatever you are feeling, it's okay. Because it really is.
And, by the way, this is all true for your kids, too.

Those are aphids on your milkweed are not eggs. If you look close at them you will see they have legs and move. |
Thank you for pointing that out, the white ones I agree, I have never seen yellow aphids. I usually use soap and water and hose them away. But want to be sure if those yellow material are eggs or not eggs?? |
They're aphids, blast away. |

Donate to Haiti! See a hockey game! For only 10 bucks....what? So the Lightning will be the real leaders in the donations race in the NHL right? The management can barely afford their own team, oh wait they can't?
Enemy blog: There really are so many. Check out my favorites:
- Eyebleaf's blog Sports and the City for all things Toronto
- Pension Plan Puppets
- Down Goes Brown for the funniest blog written
With all the changes in the Lightning these days, it seems like the circus is back to town. The Lightning just picked up center Nate Thompson off of waivers from the NY Islanders. Cristodero says there is a corresponding move coming, so does that mean Wright is going down?
Hedman will be benched tonight because of his poor play, with Hale and Walker drawing in to the lineup. Then you ask yourself, what the hell? 1 guy scratched, 2 D in, math just doesn't add up. That's because Foster will be playing as a forward. Like I said, it seems like the circus is back to town. Oh and that Paul Ranger coming back soon thing, seems like a myth.
The Lightning have split the last two meeting with the Leafs, the next time we play them will be on March 11th. After embarrassing massacres, the Lightning really need to win a game.
I'm having a hockey high today, two games on deck (Lightning/Leafs, Canucks/Stars) that I can actually see on my TV in my living room....last year it seemed the Lightning were always invading TSN...now it's been a rare occurrence. As always, I'm excited for the quiz and James Duthie.
Line-up Notes:
- Hedman is benched
- Brandon Bochenski is benched
- Niitymaki to start in net, Mike Smith still out
- Kurtis Foster will play as a forward
- David Hale and Matt Walker will be on D
no comments
The second Lightning player Antero Niittymaki is now up at the Olympic Hockey Blog, do check it out. He sucks right now, but he was lights out at the 2006 Olympics.
no commentsYou will have noticed to the right of your screen, I now have the Bloguin Olympic penguin up and a list new posts on the Olympic Hockey Blog. Check out the site for all of your bloggy Olympic Hockey needs, it is ridiculously good and really will only get better.
For your Lightning fix, the player profile on Andrej Meszaros written by yours truly is up and can be found here. I'll post links for Lightning related posts as they get posted.
no commentsSo new rumour drama again regarding the Lightning ownership...
- The blog of Bruce MacLeod of the Macomb Daily has some interesting stuff on the loan to the Lightning from Palace Sports and Entertainment. MacLeod writes that the Lightning have defaulted on the loan, which is not surprising to hear, since the owners are OK Hockeyt. Wasn't there some deadline of ownership buyout? That deadline has long since passed with no news. Another source of MacLeod's says that the NHL is setting a Feb 15 deadline for new ownership. Ok so that's right at the start of the Olympics, but then you gotta ask yourself, who would really want to buy the team?
- The Lightning are last in the list of teams with regards to the number of man-games lost, what I'm saying in English, is that out of all the 30 NHL teams, we have the fewest man-games lost at 47. Edmonton leads the league with 270. Ouch. And the Lightning have 1 point less than the number of games played....errr...
- The Lightning are teaming up with the American Red Cross to donate money to Haiti. For the next 8 games, the team is pricing certain seats at $65 for lower level seats and $10 for upper level seats. The Lightning will then donate $15 for each lower level seat, and $5 for each upper level seat to the Red Cross. So do the math, you go to the game, pay 5 bucks for a ticket and donate 5 bucks to charity, it really is win-win here. You can go to a hockey game and feel like you did something nice. For more info, see here
- Cristodero is thinking that Hedman will most likely be benched for the game against the Leafs
- Although Smith practiced for third consecutive day, it is unlikely he'll play tomorrow against the Leafs, so instead we should see Niittymaki again
This is pretty much what Versus vierwers got to see last night...over and over and over again.
Did I say in the game preview that the Rangers were having trouble scoring? Yeah, I think they fixed that problem. By the time I had gotten to my dinner location, where they were conveniently playing this game, it was already an embarrassing 6-2. And Tokarski then was in net. And the Lightning played very very very bad. Final score was 8-2. Puke.
The only thing that was kinda hot about the game?
Malone fightning. YES.
The video of the fight is tucked away after the jump.
no commentsThe Rangers can't score until yesterday, the Lightning can't win until yesterday, and both Tortorella and Tocchet love to juggle their lines (still the same)...
Enemy blog: Check out Scotty Hockey for your opposition blog
The Rangers (23-19-7) stomped all over the Canadiens yesterday with Wade Redden getting into a fight! OMFG. And Avery had a tussle with Josh Gorges. After having trouble scoring goals over the past few games, the Rangers came back in the 2nd and 3rd period against the Habs with 6 unanswered goals. Will this continue?
The Lighting won over the Hurricanes last night, with goals from Malone, Lecavalier and Downie (!). The Lightning are still without Mike Smith as he is back home in Tampa getting treatment for his neck strain (there only so many times I can call it a cervical strain, far too much giggling every time I do), so in net Niitymaki will mostly likely by starting in net with Toka backing him up.
Tonight's game will be broadcasted nationally on Versus in the US, with TSN2 picking up the Versus feed for Canada. Joy. Enjoy the game kiddos.
Line-up Notes:
- To be updated
no comments
After those two losses against the Panthers I was beginning to wonder if we would ever win against a team in the SE Division again.
- Malone started the scoring with a goal halfway through the 1st period for his 20th of the season
- Lecavalier gets a PP goal at the end of the 2nd period. He's had 9 points in the last 8 games.
- And Downie continues to net goals by getting his 11th of the season
- The Lightning (32) had more shots on net than Carolina (22), but unlike when we played the Panthers
Tommorrow night we're going to MSG, Niitymaki will most likely be in net again, because no coach in their right mind would start Tokarski in net for his first start at MSG right? Right?
There were some rumours of the Rangers inquiring with the Lightning about Lecavalier's services, but Lawton quickly nixed the rumour today saying that they are "completely false".
"It's complete B.S. and nobody ever calls me or even asks me,'' Lawton said. "I haven't talked to Glen Sather in weeks, so that is completely false that he contacted me to inquire about that. It absolutely did not happen.' -TBO Sports
Like I've said before, if we end up seeing a Vinny trade, it will most likely in the off season at the request of the captain.
And this TMI article was pointed out by Cassie and TB_hockey_fan during tonight's game thread on Raw Charge. Seriously boys that was a bit too much info about your roommate habits, and Cristodero, you thought that quote was something you wanted to print?

So I have this Adenium 'Blackberry' hybrid that I think is finally rooted. I haven't gotten any new growth on the top, yet. As you can see from the photo, it is very tall and leggy and I don't like it this way; I want a branching head. What is everyone's opinion about whacking it about 2/3 of the way down the plant trunk with the hope it will branch and grow a nice head????? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Howard. If you are sure that it has developed a good root system I'd go ahead and cut it back. You'll likely never get much of a caudex as cuttings don't develop enlarged caudexes but it should branch. You could also graft it onto a seed grown plant if you want an enlarged caudex as well as branching. |
- Posted by loveplants2 8b Virginia Beach, (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 11:47
Hi Bikerdoc, Im with Karen..if you know you have a good root system, then i would cut. I would even go more than 2/3's but that is just me. I would seal the cut after an hour and then let it rest foor a few days then bring it back into full sunshine. I think it could be a pretty looking tree. Good luck!! Laura |
- Posted by greenclaws UKzone8a (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 18:27
Hello Howard, hope you are well! Wow, that sure is a long lean specimen you have there isn't it? I would also risk a drastic chop if it were mine as I personally don't like it's appearance either and if left to it's own devices, it stands little chance of improving....go for it!!! Let us know what you decide to do? Regards, Gill from the UK. |
bikerdoc.... Search this forum for Braiding/Pleaching/Twisting Adenium and take a look at what can be done with plants like yours. Just another alternative besides a stem-chop. Frank |

I'm trying to create a standalone deployment package for Ultimate 2013 and I get an error while the package is being made. The error tells me that the following problems prevent the deployment configuration from completing: The copy functions cannot be used.
I'm saving the deployment on a server and creating the package from a Windows 7 x64 PC with full rights to the server folder. I've seen post that say to use a Windows XP 32 bit machine to make the deployment but I don't have any Windows XP computers.
Check your server to make sure you aren't running out of disk space on the network share.
I had a comparable problem with the BDS Ultimate. What I found was that the downloaded files where corrupt or not complete. I started the download again but this time with autodesks download manager. Everything worked fine after that.
Best regards
The server has over 2TB free.
The version of software I am using comes on a flash drive straight from Autodesk.
Next thing to try would be to copy everything from the USB drive to a folder on your local hard drive then try creating the deployment from there instead of from the USB drive.
If that fails then you will probably need to post the install logs.

This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr grabs his camcorder and tries to find the biggest all-night party in Pasadena, filled with slutty, dancing high school girls who looks amazingly like they're in their early twenties. Of course, he never finds that because this sort of 15-year-old wet dream fantasy doesn't exist. So he sets his sights on finding something far more realistic than any of the events that take place in Project X: the short, hairy peanut with a mustache and Danny DeVito's voice known as The Lorax.
