I found a rhizome at Whole Foods that didn't look too bad. Tossed it in a pot and waited a few weeks - had to get warm first. Now it has a few green shoots, a couple of inches tall. The rhizome was only an inch long to begin with. Once it gets a little bigger, I would be happy to divide it. I live in Stuart, little over an hour north of Hollywood, but occasionally drive south for various reasons. |
If you have an Indian or a Thai/Asian market nearby check them out. The Indian Market should have fresh turmeric. The Asian markets frequently also have fresh Galangal rhizomes. I am growing both |

DeKalb Commission to Make Tough Budget Decisions
DeKalb County Commissioners will face tough choices as they begin weighing how to balance the 2013 budget Tuesday.
As a result of declining property tax revenue and the incorporation of the city of Brookhaven, commissioners will have to consider spending cuts or a potential property tax rate increase proposed by DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis. The 1.9 percent millage rate increase would cost almost $49 more per year for owners of a $200,000 home. But Commissioner Jeff Rader is hoping to avoid that increase.
"I certainly am skeptical of a millage rate increase, and it is not my first choice. I think the budget needs to be amended to reduce or eliminate the need for a millage rate increase."
Instead, Rader says the county needs to look at ways to further reduce the cost of government.
"We need to get our head count down in DeKalb County across the board. We need to look at fully realizing cost reductions associated with the incorporations of new cities in DeKalb County, reduce our fleets and forces that formerly served those areas, and be able to reduce the cost of that service delivery associated with the smaller service areas we now have in an unincorporated DeKalb."
In December, Ellis proposed a more than $562 million budget. In addition to a potential millage rate increase, the budget calls for a 3 percent cost of living adjustment for DeKalb County's lowest paid workers, 25 additional police officers and maintaining $30 million in reserve funding. Commissioners will have until the end of February to adopt the budget.

The romance of the fire.
Warm memories are stirred
by the smell of the fireplace
coming alive
with wood burning.
I find myself sitting by the fire
and gazing at the flames
of dreams come true
and yet to be. (Linda L Johnson)
The romance of a fire – after reading Linda's poem, can't you see yourself and others enjoying watching a fire start as a small flame, then become a warm fire? Can't you just smell the smell of oak or cedar wood? Can't you just feel the tension melt away as you stare at the flames?
The romance of a fire – the romantic holiday called Valentine's Day is coming soon. Do you have that wood burning fireplace where you and someone else can sit and gaze at the flames?
It's not too late! You can have that fireplace installed. The cost varies depending on what materials you choose and the type of house you have. If you have a tall house, the chimney will need to be taller and that will add to the cost.
You want a reputable company to install your fireplace. Ask them about their warranty – you want to be sure they will do a good job & will cover you if anything goes wrong down the line.
Look around your house and decide if you want that romance of a fire. Then contact a reputable company today.

With colder weather coming fast and more holiday vacations in sight, it's always great to think about activites you can do indoors with young children. One easy and economical idea is creating your own at-home storytimes. I've gotten some great ideas from Pam Schiller and the library has many of her books and CDs available for check-out.

My plants which were grown from seed last winter have just begun to flower. Is this about average for seed grown plants here in zone 7? I'm really enjoying their bicolor blue flowers and they seem quite happy among a row of tall pink zinnias. |

I thought that the flowers on macrophylla were all blue, dont recall them being bicolor, I sowed seeds off the macrophylla purple leaf in January and it has been flowering for months now, probably doesnt answer your question though as I am in a different zone, different species flower earlier than later than others, some within 2 months here and some I have to wait a year to see flowers, Perverse things these salvias that is what makes them unique:) |
The flowers are actually only slightly bi-colored,the lower lip is darker but this fades as the flower ages. Their lateness is likely my fault. There was so much to plant this spring that they got into the ground some three weeks late. I agree that salvias can be perverse, although that is something that the gardener can use to his advantage. Here in New Jersey our summers a really variable, some really hot and dry like this one and others where it seems to rain all the time. But no matter what the weather some of the sages are going to be really pleased and it doesn't hurt that they aren't the same ones every year. |

Possible Damage to Vehicles
8:59 am
Fri July 27, 2012
Keokuk Alderman Wants Trees Trimmed
One member of the Keokuk City Council wants residents to address a growing nuisance.
City code requires residents to trim their trees so they do not block sidewalks or extend out over city streets. The excessive limbs can damage larger vehicles like fire engines and garbage trucks.
1st Ward Alderman Mike O'Connor says there are too many properties, throughout Keokuk, where the trees are out of control.
He wants to put the entire city "on notice" to deal with these overgrown trees.
Keokuk would have to send out actual notices, though, to warn residents about their trees before the city could take action and force residents to pay for the work.
O'Connor says he would like to see the city help with the tree trimming or the removal of the limbs if at all possible.
City staff says it will look into the issue and see what options are available. It is expected to come down to money and staffing levels.
O'Connor wants to continue the discussion next week.

Rosario Dawson Joins 'Daredevil' in "Critical" Role — Does it Rhyme with Shmelektra?
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on June 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIf it seemed like the Netflix Daredevil series had been missing something that you couldn't quite put your finger on up until now, it should all make sense when you hear that, according to Variety, Rosario Dawson is joining the show in a "critical" female role. That's it, everything is good, proceed with production now. Dawson will join the already-announced Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Kingpin) in the series, which is hitting the streaming site in 2015. Though her role hasn't been exactly spelled out yet, she'll be playing, according to Marvel, a young woman who crosses paths with Matt Murdock/Daredevil in her valiant attempts to help the citizens of Hell's Kitchen and heal the broken cracks of her fair city. Her presence in Daredevil's life "forever alters" the way in which he tackles the injustices of the city, as well. "Rosario Dawson is one the most charismatic, talented and powerful actresses in Hollywood, so she was always at the top of our list for 'Marvel's Daredevil,'" said Jeph Loeb, the head of Marvel TV to Variety. "Her role in the series is absolutely critical to Matt Murdock's journey to become the hero we know as Daredevil."
Forget All That 'Ant-Man' Hooplah, Marvel Just Cast the Perfect Kingpin
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on June 10, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's been a bad couple of weeks for Marvel. Ideally, we should all be salivating to the thought of a raccoon and a tree becoming space-besties while a chorus of men softly Ooga Chaka in the background. Instead we've spent that time suffering through Edgar Wright withdrawal as Marvel asked out and was roundly rejected by a string of comedy directors before settling for Peyton Reed. Hey, he's not my first choice, but he'll do. That's all in the past now. Because while Ant-Man is slated for a 2015 release, people seem to forget that Daredevil is set to hit Netflix the same year. And while Daredevil (or Marvel's Daredevil, as it's being referred to in the official literature) is still in the casting phases, it's not nearly as disappointing as Ant-Man has suddenly become. Case in point: Vincent D'Onofrio is now the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Kingpin.
'Chlorine' Review: Shallow Indie Tropes Lost in the Deep End of the Pool
Movie Reviews By Emily Estep on February 28, 2014 | Comments (1)The recent popularity of independent films in popular cinema has led to an unbearable reliance on certain indie "tropes," in which the same characters, themes, and especially music genres, seem to be used again and again. While viewers once may have sought out indie films precisely because they avoid the cliches and common themes of mainstream films, the indie genre itself has become so pervasive that it now has its own hackneyed patterns. This reliance can be evidenced in Jay Alaimo's Chlorine. Vincent D'Onofrio and Kyra Sedgwick star as a New England husband and wife who are struggling to define themselves and fit in with their upper-class friends and neighbors. Desperation and the desire to provide for their two children who they are slowly losing pushes the couple into a bad real estate deal, intermingling them with a supporting cast of shady characters. Chlorine opens with teenaged Cynthia at a swim meet getting her period for the first time, an introduction that practically screams, "this is a coming-of-age story." The life guard sees blood and panics. The transparency here adequately represents the rest of the film. Carried by stereotypical characters and driven by overt stylization, Chlorine is like an indie caricature that doesn't realize it's just a wonky drawing.
Casting Couch: Dave Bautista Official For 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' Rose Byrne Has Lots of Options, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 15, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? A bunch of casting news, all in one place. Today we've got more news about that YA adaptation, Divergent, as well as a possibility for what the king of YA adaptations, Robert Pattinson, may be doing next. And there's other stuff too. You don't have to be a young adult to keep reading. There's been a lot of casting talk regarding Guardians of the Galaxy lately, but strangely enough, it's all been about the same character—Drax the Destroyer. First Jason Momoa was said to have been offered the role, then there was said to be quibbles over money, then someone got wind that Dave Bautista was being looked at as a backup, and now THR is reporting that Bautista has officially signed. All of the hullabaloo kind of makes you wonder if they've even started to think about casting any of the other roles. But, anyway, Bautista is a huge ex-pro wrestler, he's something of a charmer, and while he's not as cool as Jason Momoa, surely he'll make a fine Destroyer of Thanos.
See Ethan Hawke Get Tortured in 'Sinister' Before Any of Your Friends Do
Movie News By Jack Giroux on August 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf you're looking forward to Scott Derrickson's Sinister, then you may want to get in on this chance to catch his restrained horror film sooner rather than later. The movie had its "surprise" premiere at SXSW this year and, after receiving some positive buzz there, Summit Entertainment is continuing to show promise in the project. Today the studio has launched "See Sinister First," offering audiences the opportunity to attend an early screening of the film. You can join a screening which is already live or even request a showing for your hometown, and, for the latter option, use Tugg. The chance to make a screening close by you happen only lasts a week, so move fast. So far there are only showings scheduled in California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and one in Washington D.C. that Film School Rejects happens to be co-hosting. The screenings that reach full attendance will receive a collectible poster for Sinister, as well as possible Q & A from the filmmakers. All in all, a pretty snazzy deal.
First 'Sinister' Trailer Creeps Under Your Skin with Nightmarish Ease
Movie Trailers By Jack Giroux on June 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentOne of the worst kept secrets at SXSW this year was the "surprise" screening of director Scott Derrickson's Sinister, thanks to The Hollywood Reporter leaking the news before the screening. However, the movie itself still managed to deliver with some surprises. For one, this isn't a found-footage movie, but, as Kate Erbland describes it in her positive review, "the found footage conceit is instead used as a source of information and scares, a clever little bit of storytelling that delivers the creeps with ease." That's a suitable way of describing Sinister. The movie has its scares, but many of them only hit you after the credits roll. This first trailer does almost too good a job of selling Derrickson's restrained horror story, considering it gives away a handful of Sinister's finest moments. If you want to go into Sinister unspoiled, stop watching this at the 1:15 mark. Check out the trailer below.
Meet Edgar in This Scene We Love from 'Men in Black'
Features By Neil Miller on May 27, 2012 | Comments (1)It's Sunday afternoon, time to celebrate another scene we love in our weekly column, Scenes We Love. With the release of Men in Black III – a threequel that turned out to be far more fun than anyone expected — we thought it appropriate to take a look back at the franchise from whence it has come. But as we watched Men in Black II, we didn't exactly find any scenes worth sharing. Lets all just agree that the second film was no good and skip right back to the beginning, to the birth of the series' first (and still most entertaining) villain, Edgar. In what is, in the opinion of this writer, his most odd but entrancing contemporary performance, Vincent D'Onofrio shows up as the domestically abusive country bumpkin who is sucked into a whole by a big alien bug and spit out anew nothing but a hilarious meat suit. He became the heartbeat of Barry Sonnenfeld's tooney 1997 film, a performance amplified by Rick Baker and David Leroy Anderson's Academy Award winning make-up effects. Also, I've got a humor sweet spot for the way Siobhan Fallon says "Egger"…
Amy Ryan, Vincent D'Onofrio, Vinnie Jones, and 50 Cent All Circling Stallone and Schwarzenegger's Team-Up Movie 'The Tomb'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 5, 2012 | Comments (1)Before it had even filled out a single supporting role, the upcoming prison break actioner The Tomb was already blowing my mind with its casting, because it managed to become the movie that finally fulfilled my childhood fantasy of having Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up as a duo of badasses. The film intrigued further, however, when it cast Jim Caviezel, an actor with some serious chops, as the evil prison warden that Sly and Arnie would be running afoul of. Maybe this movie would have even more to offer than just the chance to watch the two most preeminent ass-kickers of the 80s do their thing in tandem? Well now a big casting update from Variety all but confirms that this one has more than one trick up its sleeve. Four new names have been added to, or are in talks to join the cast, and whether it's because of talent, notoriety, or a combination of the two, each name is rather newsworthy in their own right. Perhaps the most exciting of the bunch is Amy Ryan, who has signed on to play the Stallone character's business partner and potential love interest. Whether it's performing comedy on something like The Office, or doing drama in something like The Wire, Ryan has proven that she's a great hand whatever the situation, so her inclusion should go a long way in classing this big, dumb action movie up.
For Some Reason Vincent D'Onofrio Directed a Horror Musical, and Now It Has a Trailer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 17, 2011 | Comments (1)And that trailer wants to kill you with a sledgehammer. For some reason, actor's actor Vincent D'Onofrio went out and directed a horror musical. From the look of the trailer, it's not exactly a musical in the same way we normally think of – the lyrics singing the internal feelings and external goings on of the plot. Instead, it takes its cue from the concept of a band heading out on a camping trip to write their next album. Don't Go In the Woods seems to lack the acting impetus that you might think D'Onofrio would go for. However, after speaking with him a while back about his personal fears, it's good to see him go traditional without at all going traditional. Plus, who would have thought Private Pyle would direct a slasher flick? Check it out for yourself:
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with Viva Riva! writer/director Djo Tunda Wa Munga and veteran actor Vincent D'Onofrio.

Burnt Money and Unsolved Murder: Watch This Clip From the 'Kill the Irishman' Special Features Documentary
Features By Scott Beggs on June 6, 2011 | Comments (2)As you might know, Kill the Irishman is based on a lot of true stories. It's also based on what little can be known about those true stories. Starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Val Kilmer, Linda Cardellini, and Christopher Walken, the film focuses on Danny Greene, a brutal man in league with the mob during the rough and tumble times of 1970s Cleveland. Fortunately, Cleveland looks exactly the same, so setting it in the 1970s wasn't a big deal. The movie is out on DVD this week, and included in the special features is a documentary about the real-life story. This clip is a little bit sad, a little bit grotesque, and it's a stirring reminder of the violence that men do.
Car bombs dominate the cinematic landscape in Kill the Irishman. They do so literally, as there's practically a new explosion every ten minutes, and psychologically, as the fear of the bomb, the pervasive threat of a sudden and spectacular death, powerfully informs the lives of the gangsters in filmmaker Jonathan Hensleigh's true portrait of the mob wars that rocked 1970s Cleveland. The thick, persistent tension which comes with the understanding that it could all be over at any second cuts through the familiar mob movie tropes. Despite the presence of standards such as clandestine meetings in dark restaurants and thickly-accented spaghetti-inhaling goombas, Hensleigh's film — which he co-wrote with Jeremy Walters (based on a book by Rick Porrello, an Ohio police chief) — hews closer in tone to a war picture than Goodfellas. Thus, with notable visceral force, the film conveys organized crime's sheer futility, the pervasive notion that it's comprised of grown men with outsized egos engaged in deadly battles for scraps of nothing.
Watch: Linda Cardellini Picks Up Ray Stevenson In This 'Kill The Irishman' Clip
Movie News By Scott Beggs on February 15, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's still unclear what to expect from Jonathan Hensleigh's Kill the Irishman, but Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer and Linda Cardellini are involved, so it hardly matters. The plot focuses on a man the mob just can't kill. Also, Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer are in a movie together, in case you didn't hear before. In this clip, Linda Cardellini plays a brazen barmaid who gives Ray Stevenson's character a smile and pick up line that would melt steel.

Hello! My name is Amanda, I am just now getting into gardening. I've read some posts on this forum by many of you to get an idea of where to start. But there seems to be so many obstacles that go into starting a garden, and I do want to get it right. I am going to plant a garden in a flower bed thats already existing that is 15.5in wide x 10 feet long, it currently has your mix of dead leaves, and grass currently growing in it. I have began using Round up to kill off the grass and then plan on using a roto-tiller to mix in some compost and fertilizer for the plants. The flower bed is facing south, and gets about 6 hours of sunlight per day. I am interested in planting (Based on recommendations read in the forum) Cockscomb Celosia; Hardy Ice plant as a ground cover; and Guara (so far this is what I have picked out) my question is, are these 3 a good fit to be planted in the same bed together? Secondly, as a beginner to get things to actually grow instead of die is it easier to start off with seeds versus buying already grown plant/flower from a nursery? Any tips, tricks you can provide to a newbie I would be so grateful! Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
Welcome Amanda! Yea! I get to be the first (for a change!) to say that! Now the down-side to my "welcome"....I don't know a lot about the plants you're proposing...but I can tell you to STOP using the Round Up!!! Considering you are planning to till in some Amendments...that's good. We are a hearty bunch of veggie growers here, but several of us also grow ornamentals. I'm sure that someone with much more knowledge about that than me will come along and advise you. I think you're on the right path.... Paula |
Welcome, Amanda. Read the label on your Round-up Bottle and see how long you have to wait to plant into that soil. I think it usually is 10-14 days if you used the regular formula but could be much longer if you use some of the newer formulas that say you won't get regrowth for months. Cockscomb celosia from seed is simple and you can direct sow it. I just scatter a handful of seed on top of the prepared bed and water very lightly with a watering can so I don't wash the seed away. It is very heat-tolerant and can be sown anytime in the spring or summer after the average last frost date (generally sometime in April depending on where you live in Oklahoma) has passed. I haven't raised ice plant from seed so cannot comment on it. If I were going to grow it, I'd just buy plants at the nursery, and the same is true of gaura. They should grow fine together. Just do your research on each one and make sure you give them the proper spacing so they don't crowd one another. There are different guaras available and some get larger than others, so be sure you know the name of the gaura you buy so you can check online and verify its' mature size and proper spacing. Good luck with your new garden bed, Dawn |
Hi, Amanda as Paula and Dawn say, careful with the Round-Up. The label will tell you when it is safe to plant. Wow! What a great size flower bed. You will have plenty of room for a variety of flowers. Size, color and leaf texture should guide you as to what to plant. If you are wanting a structured, formal look, plant tall in the back of the bed, medium in the middle of the bed and short in the front of the bed. If you are wanting an English cottage garden look, plant at random your favorite flowers. I suggest you plant as many perennials (come back every year) as possible. The Whirling Butterflies, a perennial, (Gaura) should be planted toward the back, if taller variety. The Cockscomb, an annual (freezes out in Winter), Celosia, different varieties, should be planted toward the front. Iceplant toward the front. The bed is so wide, 15.5', you might begin by putting in a row of evergreen shrubs or, perhaps, dwarf Crape Myrtles, Weigela, Abelia, etc. , and then plant the flowers in descending heights toward the front of bed. The South side of the house will support such sun-loving perennials as Russian Sage (Perovskia), Daylilies (Hemerocallis), Gaura, Gayfeather (Liatris), Coneflowers (Echinacea), Tickseed, different varieties, (Coreopsis), Phlox, Salvia, Shasta Daisies, etc., etc. These plants would be easiest to startpurchased at the nursery. Annuals are easily started from seed. The best time to start shrubs and perennials is in the Fall or early Spring, when the heat and lack of rain won't be so damaging to new transplants. You can buy a plant book or look on tbe Internet for info on these and other plants. You might be able to find neighbors or relatives willing to share some of these plants by divisions from their old, established plants to avoid the expense at the nurseries. Good luck, and have fun! Jeanie |
I like the three you've chosen! They should be pretty. Also, Zinnias are easy from seed and there is plenty of time to grow them. I see Jeanie mentioned Shasta Daisies. My favorite is "Becky". I'm not sure if I've seen them recently, but they seem to grow better for me. I second the nomination for daylilies. Purple coneflower should grow there was well. The trick to a good garden is to tend it! It needs plants, water, and weeding. If you give it those three, it will do fine. Lisa |

Welcome! A note on Gauras- they cover a big space when mature & can shade out things planted too close. You can shear them back about halfway midsummer or so for another round of blooms. It takes a couple of years to reach their full beauty. And-they do not like to be moved! I really like them, have 3. They will look gorgeous with cockscomb. |

Yes, how about a green home? That's what I'm going for.
And you're invited to accompany me on this exciting journey.
This is the story, step-by-step and dollar-by-dollar - mistakes and all -
of how I went
from this
to this
Much better, but not quite done: still needs landscaping, as you can see.
By creating this website, my goal was to share with you how I am transforming this little house from a
typical energy-guzzling '50s building into the comfortable, energy
efficient and resource conserving modern home that I love living in now.
In these pages, you can follow my green home project - both in text and in photos - as it continues to take shape.
As each stage develops, it is being documented - warts and all! - in
words and pictures, in order to "feed" this site, so that repeat
visitors will always find something new - something useful, hopefully.
But to keep abreast, you may want to subscribe to the Green Home Blog,
a sort of journal that is accessible via RSS feed (see the RSS box,
left). That way, when a new page has been added, or a previous page
updated with the most recent happenings, or when some news or
announcement has been posted, you will be the first to know!
Hopefully, following these adventures will encourage you to undertake your own green renovation project.
As well, this site aims to become a resource for you if you think that going green at home is the right thing to do.
You may not realize it, but you're already going green at home, even if all you're trying to do is save money.
For instance, you don't like to see your precious heat escape, so you find out how to insulate a house. That's as green as can be, because as you save money, you are conserving energy!
You want to protect your green home against moisture, so you install a moisture barrier.
Is that green? You bet! Not only will your house last longer (replacing
it uses up a lot of energy), but it will also be more energy efficient.
Do your reuse materials? Have a rain gutter system? Carefully caulk your doors and windows? Green, green, green!
But if you want to go all the way and become self-sufficient in electricity by equipping your house with solar panels, I cover that too.
And if you want to go organic in your garden, I offer expert help on that topic as well.
Digging a well? I did that, and you can follow the process step-by-step, all the way to installing the submersible pump and connecting the whole system.
And so on...
And if you have a green home question, contact me and I will answer it to the best of my ability and experience. Or check the Q&A section to see if it's been answered there. If not, there's a contact form at the bottom of that page.
We know that living green is much more than the "3Rs" now - it's a whole new way of thinking.
That's why, as well as documenting my green building project, I have
tried to cover other subjects that have to do with taking care of our
home environment, planet Earth.
This site -- like my little house -- is a work in progress, so come back
often, bookmark us, subscribe to the RSS feed... I'm looking forward to
your visits and your comments!

A few years ago, I bought this fixer-upper for $10,000.
It had been vacant for six years, had no water supply, needed a new
roof, and was likely to conceal an unsuspected number of nasty flaws.
Don't believe me? See these "Before" pictures.
My intention was to turn it into as "green" as home as I could, within my
physical, financial, and geographical limits – and to share this
adventure with you, step-by-step and dollar-by-dollar.
I'm not quite finished, but I do have a few "After" pictures to show.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor.

With U.S president Obama's upcoming Asia visits, before which intense
diplomatic efforts aimed at reshape Asia-Pacific nations' loss of faith
in U.S commitment in the region have been carried out, and evolving
strategic architecture of East Asia Summit (EAS), regional security
issue surrounding South China Sea have largely dominated regional
dynamic lately. What promoted the dynamic was the increasing
assertiveness of China in the disputed water in the South China Sea,
where tension heightened since early this year with claimant countries
such Vietnam and Philippines. The extensive diplomatic campaign not only
comes from clamant countries actively attempting to bring up the issue
into multilateral mechanism, but also interested parties renewed their
involvement in the regional affairs through the access of heightened
territorial disputes in the South China Sea, for their respective
strategic interests. Given the U.S intention to create a U.S-led
Asia-Pacific institution for shaping its strategic agendas, the EAS this
year serves a test for U.S to demonstrate commitment in the regional
security affairs. Is it a test for the US or more of a gauge/measure to
see how much they would even want to? Test makes it seem like the US
really wants to but the Asian nations are playing hard to get, my
impression is that it's the other way around. Meanwhile, relevant
parties are actively seeking to seize the opportunity for gaining
political capital and greater voice. (what type of political capital and
how are they going to do this?)
By all means, China perceives the inclusion of U.S in the East Asia
Summit and Washington's intention to gradually shape a U.S-led regional
bloc as an attempt to undermine its long-built role in the region, and
counter to its sphere of influence. In particular, with the expectation
that South China Sea to be incorporated as agenda for this year's EAS,
and Obama's speech that anticipate to mention U.S interests in South
China Sea as part to fructify its reengaging plan (I'd reword this
part), Beijing is perceiving its South China Sea strategy as facing
serious challenge. The high-profile U.S reengagement brings new power
balance complicated with intense game and negotiations to the regional
security dynamic in the long term, while at the same time it poses test
to Beijing's maneuver of its long-standing South China Sea strategy, as
well as its relations with periphery countries. I got the same concept
from each of these sentences, maybe we can trim this down?
In the past two decades, Beijing's delicate diplomatic strategies in the
Southeast Asia and rapid expanding economic influence have enabled China
to form a relatively easing periphery for it to exercise greater
influence and gradually shaped a leading role in the region. So ... why
now? Was China trying to be subtle and they just weren't tiptoeing
softly enough which is why we've been noticing it and which may have
triggered this to be a theme for EAS, or was the EAS just scheduled a
while beforehand and this it's coincidence that this is an issue? What
would China have to do to be subtle enough to control the South China
Sea without activating the sensitivities of the US or is that even
possible? Feel free to bonk me over the head with obvious answers or
links, I imagine you've answered these questions before. =)
Beijing's strategy in Southeast Asia largely rested on economic
cooperation through increased regional connectivity. This was
demonstrated through the influx of Chinese investment and aids to the
individual countries, as well as the dramatically rising trade
independence, both through bilateral arrangement and regional mechanism.
In particular, the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area came into effect in 2010,
which represents the most extensive set of trade and investment
agreements between the two, is emblematic of the economic inroads China
has made in the region. As one of the few regions that remains posing
trade surplus in bilateral trade with China, Beijing attempted to
convince its ASEAN neighbors that they could be mutually benefit from
China's economic growth. Meanwhile, Beijing's charm offensive <- I love
this phrase and the adhere to "non-interference" policies also help
gaining trust from a number of Southeast Asia countries, which enabled
Beijing to portray itself as an reliable regional player, and gain space
for its strategic maneuver. For this reason, Southeast Asia has long
been perceived by Beijing as a test ground for its soft power diplomacy,
and it was considered as an important sphere of influence of its own. or
Southeast Asia operates on the premise that it is an independent actor
whereas China sees it as malleable within its realm of soft power
Beijing's economic influence also comes with its progress to build
political and security influence in the region, which was facilitated by
Washington's relative neglect in the past decade. Its security
interactions were demonstrated through high-level military visits and
expanding arms sales as part of its charm offensive diplomacy. Strong
ties and its Southeast Asia strategy have enabled Beijing's territorial
claim and presence in the South China Sea, the regional security
epicenter, at relatively acceptable level among other claimant
countries. Beijing also attempted to manage the disputes under more
China-favored settings of behaviors - negotiation and exploration
through bilateral arrangement, and opposing the involvement of third
party. Meanwhile, through raising leading profile in the regional
security architectures such as East Asian Summit and ASEAN-Defense
Minister Meetings and cultivate relations with non-claimant countries,
Beijing successfully prevented maritime disputes from getting prominence
in the regional blocs.
Nonetheless, such norm was gradually shifted in the past three to four
years highlighted by Beijing's increasing willingness to flex military
muscle and dominate of regional maritime security, following years of
rapid military modernization and blue water strategy. This led to
growing tensions between China and other claimant countries such as
Vietnam and Philippines, and also caused great disquiet among its
Southeast Asia neighbors with the perception of growing military clout
by China. In particular, tensions in the South China Sea beginning early
this year have greatly promoted regional interactions to counter
Beijing's dominance in the South China Sea, and further justified the
entrance of outside powers to counter its sea lane denial strategy, in
light of Washington's renewed commitment in Asia.
From Beijing's perceptive, with Washington's determination to reshape
regional perception of its security commitment this year and extensive
interactions between both claimant countries and interested parties to
shape regional dynamic, the upcoming East Asian Summit represents
considerable uncertainties to its Southeast Asia strategies. Do we have
specific examples here of US's leaning closer to the region other than
the US wanting to talk about this issue in this forum? The US wants to
talk abotu a lot of issues in a lot of places. What evidence do we have
of Washington's determination in terms of specific moves on the
geopolitical chess board? In particular, as discussion of maritime
security is highly anticipated, Beijing perceives the forum will
officially institutionalize the multilateral mechanism in addressing the
South China Sea issue, as opposed to its bilateral stance. With the
perception that dynamic in the South China Sea would shape toward a more
united stance in countering China's strategic sphere in the long term,
Beijing may see the need to accommodate its Southeast Asia strategy into
the regional dynamic.
China has been gradually shaping perception to acknowledge U.S as super
power in the Asia-Pacific, and that Beijing has little interest to
directly confront U.S which not only at the expense of domestic
situation but also the regional stability. Why? How is this in their
interest? So they can make the US seem like the more likely threat? For
China to pursue its interest in the region, it has looked for several
ways to deal with rising U.S presence in the Asia-Pacific. In fact,
despite the new developments, Beijing sees South China Sea is mostly an
entrance for the U.S to counterbalance China's rising influence in the
region, and facilitate its presence through the concept of free
navigation. I'm not convinced by this. If the US starts up a presence in
the SCS and offers "free navigation," free navigation can still be cut
off at any point should political conflicts heighten, and if the
economic realm dips into the military one this would not be a fun place
for China to have the US. However, with much interaction between U.S
and China on other international issues and economic connection, the
need for cooperation much surpassed direct confrontation in the South
China Sea. Perhaps reword this because this sentence makes it sound no
longer important, in which case why would we write about it?
Meanwhile, Beijing needs to adopt more pre-empt diplomatic effort to
occupy a more pro-active position. This means Beijing will not only
enhance traditional economic ties with individual countries and through
ASEAN, but may also indicate Beijing's intention to move China would be
more willing to accept some China-led discussion form or ASEAN-led
regional forum for negotiating regional security issue such as South
China Sea, with some meaningful gestures, so to prevent the involvement
of third party. I think this is a key point - the way in which China
might try to neutralize or parallel the role of the US in the
conference. For Southeast Asia claimant countries, as their economic
future is inextricably linked to China, there remains strong need to
maintain economic ties with China and avoid directly being hostage in
the U.S-China competition in the region.
China will likely to continue supporting ASEAN as leadership role in the
regional blocs amid U.S intention to shape a more U.S-led regional
security architecture in the long term. Through the development of ASEAN
related regional blocs, China managed not to overrule ASEAN's leadership
role. With U.S intention to lead the EAS, China's support to ASEAN
leadership will likely to accommodate ASEAN's interest. Meanwhile, it
will actively participate in the agenda shaping, avoid itself being the
mere acceptance.
There remains question if Washington's reengaging plan (of if any actual
moves are made to match their rhetoric) could bring any meaningful
balance of power to shift the regional equilibrium. Nonetheless, the
enlarge of EAS membership and the increasing complicated power balance
in the region with U.S long-term engaging plan will require much more
constructive engagement from China to maintain its role in the region.

Life With Google Chromebook: Mac/Windows Killer
And by "there" I mean on all your Google Chrome PC devices. There is no longer any need to lug that laptop from home to the office and back. Everything is instantly replicated across all machines, so you can have a Chromebook on every table, office, and home -- and you can just pick up where you left off.
Yes, I know Microsoft and Apple are now trying to narrow this gap with Office 365 and iCloud. But they're still not on par with Google in terms of how elegantly and seamlessly this works. Maybe some day, that will change -- but now Google remains way ahead in the way its cloud infrastructure interfaces with its Chrome and Android devices.
In the meantime, Google Chrome laptops are $200 to $450 and falling. Microsoft Windows 8 touchscreen PCs start at $500 and MacBooks start at $1,000. You can buy a few extra Chromebooks for the same price.
Google is sitting on a gold mine here. They need to expand the Chrome OS device portfolio with even better hardware: Better battery life, bigger and better screens, and so forth -- even tablets and smartphones. Take a look at the best Windows Ultrabooks and the MacBook Air, and offer consumers premium Chromebooks.
For example, people are now buying a few $200 to $250 Chromebooks, giving them to their children and elderly family members, ensuring that they don't have to spend any time on tech support, ever. Going forward, they'll be willing to spend more than $250 to $450 on premium Chrome OS hardware. Perhaps they'd pay $500 to $600 for truly awesome 13-to-14 inch Chromebooks with 10-plus hours of battery life. Larry Page says battery life sucks now, so they had better take a hint from the boss. Back to the central point, where I began this article: Having the best PC tech support is the second best thing on Earth. The only thing that's better is not needing any tech support to begin with. And that's Chrome OS in a nutshell. Google is sitting in the catbird seat for this great new paradigm in computing: Trouble-free PCs. Will it be able to exploit this opening in the competitive landscape? At the time of publication, the author was long GOOG and AAPL and short MSFT.
