Convergence Pharmaceuticals Announces Successful Interim Data From Ground-Breaking Phase II Trigeminal Neuralgia Study
TN currently affects approximately 50,000 people in the USA alone. The majority of people affected are over 50 years of age, however many cases have been reported in young adults. TN is more prevalent in women than men, and for most sufferers, the condition is progressive and worsens over time. TN is commonly misdiagnosed and to date there is no guaranteed cure for the condition. Current therapies are centred on sodium channel blockers such as carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine as first-line treatments. However, these agents although providing relief, are often poorly tolerated, and require lengthy dose escalation, resulting in sub-optimal efficacy.
Clive Dix, Chief Executive Officer of Convergence Pharmaceuticals, added: "These interim data are very encouraging. Based on its preclinical and clinical profile, CNV1014802 offers the potential as an effective treatment for neuropathic pain, with a potentially better tolerability profile and wider therapeutic index than currently available treatments. We look forward to reporting full clinical results by the end of 2013."
The need for new drug treatments for chronic pain
The Pain therapeutic area encompasses any disease where pain is a major symptom. The unmet medical need for patients in pain is enormous, with the greatest need being for a more effective therapy that is well tolerated and safe over a long period of time. Within the pain marketplace, current pain treatments are unsatisfactory; overall efficacy is poor (typically 1-2 point reductions on a 10 point scale) and satisfactory to less than 50% of patients. Whilst treatments, such as opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are available on the market, many patients obtain little or no relief from these existing analgesics and often such drugs are associated with adverse events, side effects and addiction concerns. This highlights the importance of Convergence Pharmaceuticals' goals to be a world leader in the development of novel, efficacious analgesics with improved pharmacology and safety profiles.

1. Grease your mixing bowl and a pyrex or glass bowl that can be used to melt marshmallows in the microwave.
2. Place 16 oz bag of marshmallows, 2 Tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of flavoring of your choice in pyrex/glass bowl coated with shortening and microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir. If all the marshmallows are not melted, return to microwave for approximately 30 seconds. Stir. Continue this procedure until all marshmallows are melted.
3. Sift one half of the 2 pound bag of confectioner's sugar in a mixing bowl which has also been greased with shortening. Make a well in the center of the confectioner's sugar and pour the melted marshmallows.
4. I use the paddle attachment for my KitchenAid mixer for this first part of the mixture. Mix until all the melted marshmallows are incorporated in the confectioner's sugar. Mixture will be thick but still a runny.

I just got in 2 types of raspberries and 2 types of blackberries (indianaberry, if it matters), and I got 2 plants of each...so a total of 8 plants. My plan was to put 1 of each plant in the ground, and 1 of each in a container. Here are my two questions: 1) What is the smallest container I can get away with? I've got some 14" diameter pots that are about 14" deep for now. I'm guessing it's way too small and the plant won't do well, but will I straight up kill the plant doing this? 2) What is the best way to contain plants in the ground? I'm renting property with a big backyard for the next 2-3 years (hence why I want to keep some in containers). I've got permission to tear up the yard a bit and plant a garden, but I don't think the landlord wants brambles for the next 20 years after I leave. Does anyone have good tricks to keep berries contained? As an aside, I know not to expect berries this year, since there are no canes yet. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Judging from the dimensions that you listed, your pots are just under 10 gallons in size and should be perfectly fine for raspberries and blackberries. I have healthy raspberries in pots as small as 4 gallons, and I have a bunch of newly planted raspberries and blackberries that I intend to grow long term in 7-10 gallon pots. Of course, the larger the pot, the larger the potential fruit yield, but you can grow happy and healthy plants even in small pots as long as you provide the proper conditions (see the linked thread below for some good tips on growing plants in containers). |

As dollar sinks, Thais struggle to keep economy afloat
Thailand boomed on exports to the US. Now it's looking at populist incentives to stimulate growth.
Pornchai Kittiwongsakul/AFP/Getty Images
Bangkok, Thailand
Frozen shrimp, computer parts, cosmetics, and cheap plastic goods are just a few of this country's exports to America that have helped fuel an economic boom here. But the threat of a recession in the United States – its No. 1 customer – has the government scrambling to find other ways to stimulate the domestic economy.
High oil prices and the falling dollar are likely to slow exports throughout Asia and especially in Thailand, Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. Here, export growth could sink to the single digits for the first time since 2002.
Now, this looming downturn has effectively sidelined a long-running internal debate here over the populist policies first espoused by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup by generals claiming his economic measures were fiscally irresponsible.
Now most economists and political parties have expressed support for those policies, which include cheap village loans and a debt moratorium for farmers, to keep the economy afloat.
"In this environment, when external demand is likely to go down, what Thailand and other Asian countries are going to do is look to stimulate domestic demand to offset any slowdown in external demand," says Ussara Wiraipitch, a senior economist at Standard Chartered Bank. "Fiscal stimulus and monetary policy will be key for Thailand to help manage the country's economic growth and offset any drop in US demand."
Earlier this month, the government passed tax cuts worth 40 billion baht ($1.26 billion), or 0.45 percent of Thailand's gross domestic product (GDP), to stimulate the property sector and boost consumption.

Apple & AT&T sued over iPhone
The law firms of Folkenflik & McGerity and Hoffman & Lazear have filed a $1.2 billion class action suit on behalf of iPhone owners against Apple and AT&T Mobility (AT&T's cellular unit) in US District Court. The case, Paul Holman and Lucy Rivello v. Apple, Inc., AT&T Mobility, LLC., claims that the companies' agreements to restrict iPhone users to using only the AT&T cellular network for voice and data, and to restrict users to using only applications from Apple, run afoul of Federal antitrust laws, California antitrust laws, and California unfair trade practice laws. The suit goes on to say that Apple and AT&T are liable for "computer trespass", based on the recent 1.1.1 iPhone software release, which disabled many SIM unlocks, third-party software, and left some users' phones inoperable. The suit claims these changes were not technically required for the new features Apple was offering in the update.
"There is little question that Apple and AT&T have misused Apple's programs to improperly coerce consumers to buy only AT&T voice and data services and only Apple programs. That is unlawful under both Federal and state laws, and any terms in Apple's and AT&T's contracts to the contrary are also unlawful and unenforceable," said Max Folkenflik, one of the attorneys on the case. "Apple and AT&T have no more right or technological justification for forcing iPhone users to use only AT&T service and Apple applications than Ford would to force car owners to use only Ford batteries or tires, or than the maker of your television has to force you to watch only Fox or CBS."
The suit calls for compensatory damages of $200 million, which are trebled according to law to $600 million, as well as for punitive damages of $600 million, and for injunctions prohibiting the alleged unlawful conduct and voiding the unlawful contract terms. More information, including a complete copy of the class action complaint, is available on the lawsuit's website, appleclassaction.net.

OK, This is re-God-damn-diculous! What a bunch of whining mewling losers! I am sorry, but this is the most frivolous of frivolous lawsuits. Why not sue Verizon for neutering every phone they have on their roster? Puh-lease. I hope Apple countersues and takes them for every cent they and their families have—I mean, I want their grandkids paying their salaries to Apple.

I am humbled to bear witness to such an historic landmark "computer trespass" case. In a day when Guantanamo and interrogation techniques are questioned, when gun availability allows our children to wound teachers in school, when embryo stem cells wins hearts and minds here and abroad in Korea, when lead paint find their way into our Chinese made toys, when Africans cope with scarcity of water, and domestically our homeless were criminalized, there are such brave and courageous souls as Paul Holman and Lucy Rivello who would stand up for all of us with disposable incomes to throw away on $700 devices. Who but the most sincere and unselfish law firms would take up this case against the looming tyrant of a corporate hegemony that is Apple.
I am sad not because this is a litigious society. I am sad because Paul and Lucy, and their attorneys especially are not governed by laws of nature. Since their stupidity would require they be admitted to the Darwin Awards post haste or at least become a chewy snack to some predators (hopefully with long serrated teeth).

Give me a break. Phones are tied to providers all the time—remember the Motorola Razr when it first came out? Hot as all get out, but only ONE provider. And cracking in to the inner workings of the iPhone to hack it to other networks? Sheesh ... every warranty out there states that doing that on any product voids the agreement, so Apple is more than in the clear when it updates software that winds up disabling these illegally hacked phones. And now some shyster law firm thinks it has a billion-dollar class action suit?? Again, give me a break.
Posted by jlanderson on October 12, 2007 at 7:59 AM (CDT)
Fanboys, cry me a river!
Other cell phone operators have "gotten away" with locking because they subsidize the phone. I don't particularly have a problem with that - get a free phone but sign a contract for a year or two. It's my choice. AT&T does not subsidize the phone at all, so why should I be locked to their network. And worse still, if I buy the device and Apple maliciously releases software to limit my fair use of the device, they should be punished.
And Apple is not the only company being sued over this. T-Mobile is in a lawsuit over locking and early termination also.
If these lawsuits win, it can only be good for the consumer.
Posted by kokketiel on October 12, 2007 at 8:13 AM (CDT)
Kokketiel, Apple is not limiting the fair use of the device at all, and certainly not in a malicious manner. They are releasing software updates that will improve the iPhones that have been purchased, activated, and used in accordance with the product's warranty and terms of use. Consumers are not restricted and can hack or unlock as they deem fit but Apple cannot bear and should not bear any responsibility for ensuing problems that the user of an unlocked iPhone suffers.
Our free market society doesn't allow us to simply buy toasters and turn them into space heaters. All products have reasonable uses and manufacturers, in order to limit their liability, generally provide warranty coverage and other services only to those who adhere to such uses. Sony will not cover your electronics if you open them up to tamper with or modify them. Nissan will not cover and faultless damages to my car's audio system because it is an after-market unit. The principle is the same here, and it is not fanboyism that controls this reply but common sense.
This suit is NOT good for the consumer if it discourages innovation or hamstrings corporations that provide good products. Your argument is pure fallacy. Consumers have abundant freedom of choice with regard to phones and services, and yet when Apple engages in conduct no different from that of LG or Samsung or Verizon or Sprint, they are the ones being haled into court. Fundamentally and philosophically, this smacks of our society's me-first and me-now ideology, and it is embarrassingly telling.

Computer trespass? What a crock!
You warned me that the update might create a problem. I then chose to apply it to my phone. I even clicked again to Accept your terms. It bricked my phone like you said it might. It's obviously your fault and you altered my phone without my permission!
I'm not an Apple fan. I like my iPod but I'm not blind to the fact that there are better priced players and more feature laden ones. And the complaints related to quality control of late and sloppy standards are justified. But this suit just points out how much of a joke the American legal system has become.

It's not like the other mobile companies didn't have their chance…. Apple courted all the mobile phone companies, and AT&T, then Cingular was the only one willing to chomp at the bit. No one else wanted to take a chance on an uncertainty. Don't blame Apple that the iPhone isn't on Verizon or T-Mobile, they passed on the opportunity to have this phone work on their networks.
Posted by Hayes on October 12, 2007 at 9:32 AM (CDT)
Whoever sues over this is a lunatic. Why didn't they sue the manufacturer of the last device they used prior to the iPhone????... That was locked down too!.. nobody had a gun to their's or anyone's head to BUY the iPhone and they knew damn well it was AT&T! I FULLY SUPPORT APPLE IN THIS.. it's their device, and they have the right to lock it down. BOO F*(#&$(* HOO!

Be an early adopter and pay the price (AT&T lock) or wait a year or two and get a better iPhone, for less money, that you can use on any compatible carrier's network. Don't buy one now and bitch.
It's not all marketing either. VZWs minority CDMA network (USA) made them a very dark horse for iPhone exclusivity anyway. GSM, especially true 3G GSM is the world platform and iPhone is intended to play in that market.
Posted by Elcoholic in So Cal on October 12, 2007 at 5:20 PM (CDT)
B#tch that is. The big disappointment is that Apple didn't bust the Carrier's strangle-hold on hand-sets they've used to lock consumers into contracts with since day one. If anybody was positioned to do that, it was Apple.
Posted by Elcoholic in So Cal on October 12, 2007 at 5:28 PM (CDT)
Apple should counter sue for 2.4 billion because this is a waster of time. What is wrong with you people? If you don't like Apple, don't buy it. If you don't like AT&T, don't buy it. Sometimes in America, I think we have too much freedom.
Posted by Chief on October 12, 2007 at 6:41 PM (CDT)
Wow all the fan bois in here. I think the lawsuit has merit. And you can't compare this to Verizon and having a certain phone on their network, because if it is an exclusive its only for a month. Also you can't compare CDMA to GSM. GSM has always been open source to say. CDMA has always been closed although there are lawsuits right now to change that and make it more like GSM. I for one would like to have an iphone but alas i can't because we have awful service in our area. When I had ATT it was always one bar within a 5 mile radius of where I live and i live in the city so to speak…but anyway back on topic i hope this goes through then i could use Cincinnati Bell a subsidy of ATT on which i had terrific service and an unlimited plan to boot. Before you try to flame me don't bother cause normally after i post i don't check back. But n e way Verizon or any other CDMA provider can't be compared to ATT which is GSM which has always been open source. And no Apple could not sue people for hacking the phone because Apple no longer owns the phone.

Posted by Flippy Hambone on October 12, 2007 at 10:39 PM (CDT)
The only reason people are complaining is that the iPhone is the new shiny gadget of the year that everyone has to have.
Why would anyone unlock their iPhone only to be able to choose only one other carrier along with the risk of bricking it.
I'd admit it was rather shady of Apple to have a price break on the iPhone being on the shelf for only 10 weeks. There's a reason why you shouldn't buy new technology at launch.
Oh yeah, the lawsuit isn't going anywhere because it lacks..any thought at all.
Posted by Brian Draghi on October 13, 2007 at 2:02 AM (CDT)
oh darn, E is never, ever going to check this thread. The next letter in the alphabet is F, which is the first letter of the word I'd use to describe E!
How is it that people who think this lawsuit is a joke, (rational people) are suddenly fan bois? A company shouldn't be required to waste 1 minute tailoring their software for unauthorized hack compatibility.

text: When I got the call to photograph a new set of corporate head shots for Edelman Canada in Calgary, I always make a point of visiting the space first just in case something changes on the day of the shoot. And in my case the office that I was shooting in was having a major renovation so instead I made two site visits just to be on the safe side. The photoshoot took place on my birthday which was really fun and the day consisted of photographing 13 people individually on seamless white in a room that was maybe 10 feet by 8 feet. It was tight to say the least, however like all photoshoots you are given what you are given, you make it work, and you have fun with it as it forces you to adapt on the fly. The lighting itself was a four light set-up; two strip lights hitting the backdrop to create the perfect white, 47″ Octabank (Camera left) for the main, and a 24″x36″" Soft box (Camera right) for a little fill. Also on set I had the very talented Karen Malcolm for hair and make-up – www.karenmalcolm.ca and my trusty assistant Elsbeth whom I call Urban Sherpa.

Interesting Health Care Poll Numbers
It appears as the public becomes more aware of what Congress is planning with this health care monstrosity they're calling reform, the more reason they find to like the present system.
Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters nationwide now rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. That marks a steady increase from 44% at the beginning of October, 35% in May and 29% a year-and-a-half ago.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 27% now say the U.S. health care system is poor.
It is interesting to note that confidence in the system has improved as the debate over health care reform has moved to center stage. The latest polling shows that only 38% favor the health care legislation currently working its way through Congress.
It also shows a marked decrease in those favoring the legislation – not that such polling will stop the Democrats from continuing to ram something through. Even Howard Dean finds the current legislation troubling and declares it does nothing to control costs – one of the supposed central tenets of reform.
I've been saying for months that the Democrats are going to pass something called "health care reform". They have too. Otherwise Obama's domestic legislative agenda will be declared a failure and, ultimately, his presidency. Now I'm not so sure, given the fact that the legislation is under fire from all sides, that passage of "something" is necessarily assured. Meanwhile the latest atrocity in a government run health care system to ponder.
Time to turn up the heat and pressure to drop this awful mess. It is nothing more than a government power grab based in generational theft that does nothing to make health care better. To quote Nancy Reagan, it's time to "just say no".

Poll Says Public Beginning to Blame Democrats For Recession
It was inevitable (the party in power always gets blamed – eventually), but that doesn't mean I don't like the fact that this perfect storm may crest precisely at the 2010 midterms (although you shouldn"t count out the possibility of Republicans completely blowing the opportunity):
Nearly two years into the recession, opinion about which political party is responsible for the severe economic downturn is shifting, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday morning indicates that 38 percent of the public blames Republicans for the country's current economic problems. That's down 15 points from May, when 53 percent blamed the GOP. According to the poll 27 percent now blame the Democrats for the recession, up 6 points from May. Twenty-seven percent now say both parties are responsible for the economic mess.
"The bad news for the Democrats is that the number of Americans who hold the GOP exclusively responsible for the recession has been steadily falling by about two to three points per month," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "At that rate, only a handful of voters will blame the economy on the Republicans by the time next year's midterm elections roll around."
I'll say it again – gridlock is good. It has a tendency to weed out all the extremist garbage and narrows the focus of legislation greatly. It also limits the power of the President, as it should be. So I'm quite pleased with this turn of events. And as you might imagine, the "current economic problems" is code language for "jobs". No jobs, no peace, and a tough re-election campaign from Democrats next year.
Guess who the Congress is mad at?
It's the economy, stupid.
As an aside, speaking of tough re-elections next year, John McCain is in a statistical dead heat with a GOP primary opponent next year.

Is The Locomotive Of "Chavismo" Losing Steam In Venezuela?
Gallup's latest poll says it is:
President Hugo Chavez's popularity among Venezuelans has waned in recent years. Less than half of Venezuelans (47%) in August 2009 said they approved of Chavez' job performance — down from 61% in late 2006 when he was elected to a second six-year term.
That's not a good sign for a dictator "president for life". And what's even worse is his inability to do much about what is causing that decline but attempt to distract attention by stirring up an existential threat (Colombia).
The reasons for this decline in popularity aren't hard to figure out. Again, Gallup:
This year, 30% of Venezuelans said economic conditions in their city or area are improving, down from 47% in 2008 and 63% in 2007. Electricity and water shortages have become frequent, and violent crime is rampant in much of the country. This year, 23% of Venezuelans said they feel safe walking alone in their areas at night, the second-lowest figure among the 67 countries in which Gallup asked the question.
Politicians, whether socialist or capitalist, are held responsible for their country's ability to provide the basics in life – especially when in the past those basics were cheap and plentiful. And, politicians are also held responsible for providing basic security. In all areas the socialist "Bolivarian revolution" is failing. And, because of actions by Chavez over the years to nationalize many industries, Venezuelans who supported Chavez are now beginning to see his government as more of a threat to them:
Conversely, concern about the heavy hand Chavez has demonstrated in the recent wave of nationalizations may be growing. The proportion of Venezuelans who said people in the country can feel very confident their private property will be respected by the government has dropped to 40% this year, from 52% in 2007. And 44% of Venezuelans currently agree that life is very hard for those who oppose the government, up from 36% in 2008.
As Megan McArdle points out, Chavez was able to paper over much of this when the price of oil was high and revenue plentiful, but at the present price and faced with the fact that because he diverted money from the state run oil company PDVSA to fund social programs, his golden goose is on life support. And Chavez has been forced to impose some unpopular restrictions:
President Hugo Chávez has been facing a public outcry in recent weeks over power failures that, after six nationwide blackouts in the last two years, are cutting electricity for hours each day in rural areas and in industrial cities like Valencia and Ciudad Guayana. Now, water rationing has been introduced here in the capital.
The deterioration of services is perplexing to many here, especially because the country had grown used to cheap, plentiful electricity and water in recent decades. But even as the oil boom was enriching his government and Mr. Chávez asserted greater control over utilities and other industries in this decade, public services seemed only to decay, adding to residents' frustrations.
With oil revenues declining and the economy slowing, the shortages may have no quick fixes in sight. The government announced some emergency measures this week, including limits on imports of air-conditioning systems, rate increases for consumers of large amounts of power and the building of new gas-fired power plants, which would not be completed until the middle of the next decade.
Combine that with growing food shortages and rampant inflation and the picture is not pretty for our boy Hugo. And while his popularity remains slightly north of the critical 50% mark, his job approval rating of 46% portends a fall for that as well. Chavez, like all socialists, is finding out the hard way that they call them the laws of economics for a reason. You just wonder if we'll learn something from his inevitable decline.

So How Are The Special Elections Shaping Up?
Right now, if you believe the final Public Policy Polling surveys in New Jersey and New York's 23rd Congressional district, it looks like wins for the right side of the ideological curve.
In NY-23, PPP has Hoffman at 51%, Owens at 34% and Scozzafava – the GOP's favored nominee – at 11%. So the insurgent conservative candidate who the GOP is now quite happy to claim, is pulling a majority in the district. Head to head, PPP has Hoffman at 51% and Owens at 38%. The former GOP candidate has chosen to act as conservatives thought she would – she's endorsed the candidate which most closely matches her politics – the Democrat. Joe Biden will be in the district today to try and push Owen's numbers up.
"Polling the race was a little haphazard in a weekend with many twists and turns but Hoffman showed a similar lead at all junctures… The bottom line though is that Hoffman led by double digits during every segment of the poll, an indication that he may have been headed for a definitive victory regardless of Scozzafava's actions over the course of the weekend."
We'll see.
In the NJ governor's race, PPP has Christie at 47%, Corzine at 41% and Daggett at 11%.
PPP points out that in NJ, the difference is independents going over to Christie's side in a big way:
"Christie's advantage is due largely to his support from independents and because he has Republicans more unified around him than the Democrats are around Corzine. Christie leads Corzine 52-29 with indies, as Daggett's support with that group has declined to 16%. Christie is getting 82% of Republicans to Corzine's 72% of Democrats."
Of course this is NJ we're talking about and 6% would seem to be a pretty significant lead, but there are factions at work which will most likely do whatever is necessary to overcome that. But the defection of independents to the Republican candidate has to worry Democrats.
And I'd guess that what is happening in the VA Governor's race is much the same as what is being seen in NJ – McDonald leads Deeds mostly because of a more unified Republican base and the defection of Independents.
Should all 3 go to the Republicans, it will be very interesting to see the spin – from both sides. Democrats will most likely downplay the significance while privately being very concerned with 2010 right around the corner. And Republicans will most likely misread the results as some sort of mandate for them and their "big tent" compromising ways.
Suffice it to say these are 3 specials that I'll actually be interested in following tomorrow, if for no other reason than to hear the establishment party types on both sides explain what happened.

WaPo Tries To Spin Poll On Health Care
The Washington Post has a new poll out in which they declare that two of the most controversial aspects of the health care reform legislation working its way through Congress now enjoy majority approval. Those are the public option and the insurance mandate that requires everyone get insurance.
But I have a sneaking suspicion that much of the support for the public option is based more on a fantasy than reality. I think that a majority, if there truly is one, have bought into the talking points of "choice and competition." Neither will exist once the public option, as envisioned by Congress, is actually in place. What leads me to believe that's the case is this sentence later in the WaPo story:
Independents and senior citizens, two groups crucial to the debate, have warmed to the idea of a public option, and are particularly supportive if it would be administered by the states and limited to those without access to affordable private coverage.
Essentially what that describes is Medicaid – not a public option. Medicaid is administered by the states. Of course removing restrictions which prohibit insurance companies from selling across state lines and removing state mandates which drive up the overall cost of a policy would most likely provide "affordable private coverage". But as usual those provisions have been rejected by Democrats writing the legislation even though they've been brought up repeatedly by Republicans.
Now I don't equate Medicaid with the "public option" that I've heard politicians talk about.
Interestingly, deeper in the story and after trumpeting a "majority" now backing the public option, the Post says:
Overall, 45 percent of Americans favor the broad outlines of the proposals now moving in Congress, while 48 percent are opposed, about the same division that existed in August, at the height of angry town hall meetings over health-care reform. Seven in 10 Democrats back the plan, while almost nine in 10 Republicans oppose it. Independents divide 52 percent against, 42 percent in favor of the legislation.
In other words, the headline could have just as easily been "Majority still opposes health care reform" and/or "Majority of Independents Not In Favor Of Health Care Legislation".
Instead we get "Public Option Gains Support". That's really irrelevant if the total bill is seen as unacceptable not to mention the numbers of opposed vs. those in favor haven't changed since August.
But then, it all depends on how you want to spin something, doesn't it?

This Is Why Obama's Health Care Support Continues To Erode
Along with his credibility. When the House bill on health care (H 3200) came out, anyone who read the bill, to include Republicans, noted that it planned to pay for much of what was offered through Medicare cuts. And, in speeches and talks following that, President Obama said that he wanted to "end subsidies" to Medicare Advantage, a Medicare supplemental program very popular with those using Medicare (because it covers what Medicare doesn't).
Even the CBO has come out, as noted yesterday, and said what President Obama is talking about when it comes to Medicare will cut the level of benefits for Medicare users.
Be that as it may, and as he has in many things, he claims everyone else is wrong, he's right and those disagreeing with him are simply doing it for political purposes. In talking points distributed by the White House today, they say:
Talking Points: Republicans' Disingenuous Scare Tactics on Medicare
• Recently, as part of an ongoing effort to revive their political fortunes by killing health insurance reform, many Republicans have been attempting to scare America's seniors with false myths about what reform would mean for Medicare.
• These distortions and outright falsehoods would be offensive under any circumstances, but they're especially disingenuous coming from a group who has a long history of opposing Medicare and who very recently tried to kill the program as we know it.
• Just this past April, nearly four-fifths of Republican House members voted to end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher program that provides a fixed sum of money to buy private insurance.
• And this most recent assault on Medicare is just the latest in a war Republicans have been waging on the program for decades.
They also attempt to spin away the CBO finding that benefits will indeed be cut and they further attempt to justify the Medicare Advantage cuts.
But this just isn't selling to those at whom it's aimed.
Gallup reports that seniors 65 and older are the demographic with the largest percentage against the reform being offered. By a margin of 10% (42% to 32%) they oppose it.
I think it is pretty safe to say that seniors, at this point, don't trust the Democrats and certainly aren't now going to buy into the old "Republicans are using scare tactics" canard. Nor are seniors going to be mollified by claims that Medicare Advantage "overcharges" and therefore should be eliminated.
I've talked about the erosion of independent support for the administration and Democrats in general. If the Democrats want to ensure a minority in the Congress in 2010, continue to alienate the seniors as they are presently doing and they'll get their desire. And that might also mean 2012 won't be looking so hot for them either.
This is a demographic which knows their issues (especially health care) and votes them. Screw with this program (and yeah it's ironic that we're talking about leaving a government program alone, but again, since they don't have a choice, that says nothing about its quality or efficiency) and you can almost bet the house (pun intended) that 2010 will find a new majority in one of the chambers of Congress.

And The Polls Say …
That there was no bounce from the president's speech and a majority of Americans still oppose the health care reform being offered by the Democrats:
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That's the highest level of opposition yet measured and includes 44% who are Strongly Opposed.
Just 43% now favor the proposal, including 24% who Strongly Favor it.
Of course that being said, it is still not precisely clear what all the Democrats are offering. However if it is a collection of what they've offered in the 4 bills now circulating, they need to start over. When you have 44% "strongly opposed", then politically it is time to start rethinking what's going on.
In fact, what is being offered by Democrats is so bad that a plurality would rather keep what they have than have what is being offered imposed on them per a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics Poll:
More Americans would rather Congress do nothing than pass Obama's plan: 46 percent to 37 percent of people polled say they prefer the current health care system to the one the president has proposed.
Similarly, more people oppose — 48 percent — the health care reform legislation being considered right now than favor it — 38 percent. While most Democrats — 65 percent — favor the reforms, majorities of Republicans — 79 percent — and independents (55 percent) oppose them.
That tracks very well with the Rasmussen poll cited above. Additionally, the response to this question was telling:
By more than three-to-one, Americans say if they were sick they would rather be covered by a privately-run health insurance plan (62 percent) than a government-run plan (20 percent).
It should be clear by now, even to Democrats, that the majority of Americans do not want a government run monstrosity. Although they do believe that health care needs some reforms, they obviously don't agree those being proffered are the ones needed.
Time to drop the present mess and start over, looking at reforms which actually do introduce real choice and competition. Neither of those will be found in any choices which increase government control and intrusion. That is the message these polls are sending.

Surprise: Jimmy Carter Plays The Race Card (Update)
Racialist Jimmy Carter plays the race card:
"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man," Carter said. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that share the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African Americans."
Carter continued, "And that racism inclination still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of the belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply."
Notice the key words – "I think..". Not really. If he did his first inclination wouldn't be to consider the opposition to the government takeover of health care as "animosity toward President Barack Obama". If he really thought about it, he'd have to factor in the trillions of dollars that have been poured into banks, financial institutions and car companies – something a majority of the nation was strongly against. If he actually did think about it he'd have to consider the 9 trillion dollars in budget deficits conservatively promised and a trillion dollar "stimulus" bill that isn't working. And cap-and-trade that will increase the cost of energy for everyone, not to mention a pork laden 700 billion spending bill passed by Congress and signed by the president.
If Carter actually did think about things instead of taking the easy way out and playing the race card, he'd have to confront the real reasons for much of the anger and animosity and recognize they have nothing to do with the race or color of the president, but instead with the direction of the country. If Carter's thesis is true then he will be able to easily explain why the independents, the primary group which elected Barack Obama, have been deserting the Democrats in droves.
Did they suddenly develop racist "inclinations"? Or is it possible they feel that hope-and-change was really just bait-and-switch?
UPDATE: How well is the race card playing? About as well as you might expect:
Twelve percent (12%) of voters nationwide believe that most opponents of President Obama's health care reform plan are racist. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 67% of voters disagree, and 21% are not sure.
When every set back or bit of opposition is blamed on race, pretty soon it becomes another in a long line of excuses for failure instead of a real reason to be concerned.

About That Claim That Doctors Support Obamacare
The Democrats have made the claim that the AMA, doctors and nurses all support the Obama plan for health care reform. But if a new IBD/TIPP poll is to believed, it is possible a large number of doctors would leave their practice if the present version of health care reform was passed:
Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.
And, like most Americans, a majority of doctors polled found the administration claims to be unbelievable:
72% of the doctors polled disagree with the administration's claim that the government can cover 47 million more people with better-quality care at lower cost.
Two-thirds, or 65%, of doctors say they oppose the proposed government expansion plan. This contradicts the administration's claims that doctors are part of an "unprecedented coalition" supporting a medical overhaul.
Another fact that should be taken into consideration when the administration claims that the AMA supports their plan, presently the AMA only represents 18% of American physicians.
Four of nine doctors, or 45%, said they "would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement" if Congress passes the plan the Democratic majority and White House have in mind.
In 2006, there were 800,000 doctors practicing in the US. A 45% reduction would leave 440,000 doctors to treat the present insured population plus the 40 million more the administration plans to add.
I'll leave it to you to do the math, but if you can figure out how fewer physicians and more patients equals less cost, better care and no changes in the health care you enjoy today, I'd be interested to hear it.
If the answer is "rationing care", I believe we've been saying that for quite some time, haven't we?

Two Reasons Americans Don't Want Obamacare
While the rest of the nation ponders whether Kanye West is a "jackass" and President Obama was correct in calling him that, I've been thinking about why the Democrats and Obama are having such a tough time selling their health care proposals.
Obviously part of the push back by the people has been because of the recession. Common sense says you don't exacerbate a bad financial situation by adding debt. Nothing anyone has claimed about the "health care savings" reform would bring has resonated with the public. That's because people don't believe or trust the rosy estimates that Democrats have used. And of course it hasn't helped that the CBO has shot down just about every one of their claims as well.
In fact it looks a lot like 1993 all over again according to an ABC/Washington Post poll released today:
Sixteen percent of the respondents to the most recent poll say their health care would improve if the proposed changes are enacted, and 32 percent say their health care will be worse if that happens.
By comparison, the same poll in late September of 1993 found 19 percent saying their health care would improve and 31 percent saying it would get worse.
Even deploying Obama to use his vaunted oratorical skills to turn the tide hasn't worked according to another poll:
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken after the president's dramatic address to a joint session of Congress last week shows Americans almost evenly divided over passing a health care bill and inclined to think it would make some of the system's vexing problems worse, not better.
Six in 10 say Obama's proposal, if enacted, would not achieve his goals of expanding coverage to nearly all Americans without raising taxes on the middle class or lowering the quality of health care. For the first time, a majority disapprove of the way he's handling health care policy.
So what's the problem? Why does public opinion seem so dead set against what Democrats feel is beneficial legislation for all?
Well, what Obama and the Democrats are running up against is the same problem Bill Clinton et. al experienced. People, for the most part, are quite satisfied with the insurance they have and don't want to chance government messing that up. And they understand that the chance of government messing it up, given how government does most things, is very high.
Although polls have consistently shown that just over half of Americans think the health-care system is in need of reform, a substantial majority say they are satisfied with their own insurance and care. Any hope of change will require their support, according to experts and advocates across the ideological spectrum.
"They are critical," said Drew E. Altman, president and chief executive of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health research organization. "This debate will turn on people like this trying to answer the question 'Will this benefit my family?' "
Most are concluding it won't benefit their family and, in fact, may end up being detrimental to them.
Democrats seem to be missing the point that while health care reform is popular, their version of health care reform isn't. I guess health care reform somewhat resembles porn – the people will know it when they see it. But they're not seeing it in the proposals the Democrats are offering right now – and that is why there's this massive push back.
The majority of those opposed do not believe the claims that nothing will change pertaining to their health care. It simply doesn't makes sense to them that the scope and goals of the change being discussed won't effect their coverage.
One of President Obama's biggest challenges this fall will be persuading seniors to accept his healthcare proposals. Many elderly voters are deeply worried about "Obama-care" because they fear that his plans will reduce their coverage and increase their costs. Seniors, in fact, are more opposed to Obama's healthcare ideas than any other age group.
Of course the irony, as pointed out any number of times, is that most seniors are on a government program. Rarely pointed out is the fact that they have no choice in the matter. Consequently those who love to point this out and crow about how seniors "like" their government insurance never follow that up with the fact that seniors are forced into a system which may or may not have been their first choice.
But that aside, seniors don't like change. And, they're smart people who understand that they are the demographic that spends the most on health care. Given that understanding, when the goal of "cutting costs" is put forward as a primary goal of the reform being discussed, they know where those cuts are most likely to be made.
But they have developed a deep skepticism toward Obama's agenda of expanding the reach and power of Washington. They basically agree with the conservative attack that he is a liberal zealot who wants to inject the government into every nook and cranny of American life—including everyday decisions about the choice of doctors and medical plans, pollsters say. Some seniors specifically fear that the healthcare overhaul will take money away from their cherished Medicare program, and they don't want to take that risk.
Only 35 percent of people 65 and older approve of Obama's handling of healthcare, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll in August …
Their defense of a government medical insurance program for themselves and their skepticism of further government intrusion into our lives isn't quite as contradictory (or ironic) once you understand the whys and wherefores of the mandatory nature of Medicare. Seniors aren't interested in more government or the chance that the only insurance available to them will be cut to meet a savings goal.
Those are how the planets are lining up in the health care reform universe. Obama and the Dems aren't succeeding in convincing the skeptics with their arguments. In fact, as it drags on, more skeptics are being born than believers.
The answer, devoid of politics, seems clear. Stop the process right now, reset the debate and actually have one. Find out what "reform" means to the public and act on that consensus. It may end up merely insuring those without insurance. It may be that and tort reform plus opening up the intra-state private insurance markets and eliminating mandates. Or more. Or less. But what should be clear to both the Democrats and Obama at this point is it is not what they're offering.
The danger to them (electorally) and to us (reduction of liberty) is they'll disregard that in the name of politics and ram through something we'll all regret but find difficult get rid of once passed.
That's what I fear and it appears that's what some on the left are prepared to do. They have waited too long and have too much invested politically to back off now.

Short Film of Death: 'M is for Macho' Makes a Play For Zombie Dominance
Features By Scott Beggs on November 4, 2013 | Comments (3)Why Watch? To celebrate The ABCs of Death 2's search for the second 26th director, we're posting 13 contest entries for 13 days. All of which start with M is for. Today's is Macho from Jose Pedro Lopes. Twisting the zombie genre isn't an easy thing to do, not only because of its long history but also because of its massive presence in pop culture right now. This short laughs at that challenge, dribbles around it and dunks in its face. Sweetened with some gender politics and the edge of survivalism, it has fun with the trope (partially because its characters look as unimpressed by the presence of zombies as we are) and manages a nice dismemberment plan. Long story short, I'd love to see the feature-length version.

Firefighters battle an early-morning blaze in Washington County.
Crews responded to a barn fire near Highway 31 and County Road 38 around 4 a.m. Thursday.
Because the fire was in a remote location, several water tankers were called in to help put it out.
Crews from at least three departments helped extinguish the blaze.
There have been no reports of injuries.
The cause of the fire is unclear at this time.

Hi folks,
This is my second time to own a hydrangea. I didn't get to see my first one after winter since we move to a different house. So I wasn't sure if it made it or not. All I remember was that it was droopy even if it was planted in the eastern side. However, this new one I bought yesterday have firm branches. But I'm not sure if I did the right thing and that is buying them at the wrong time of year for my zone, 5a. Right now, it's 30F. I'm sure, half or 1 inch of the soil is frozen. On Wednesday, weather.com says that it's suppose to go 45F. But again, I'm not sure if it's fine because I read that in order to make it successful, the root has to grow. Anyways, the 3 pots are in the garage now. When I bought them, there was already a new leaf coming out. Not sure if it's a leaf. Can I overwinter them in the garage? Do I water them once a month? Do I blanket them but not cover? Here are they. Thanks! |

If the garage remains unheated but stays above freezing (35-40F is right about ideal), you can overwinter them as is. Check the soil moisture occasionally and water lightly if excessively dry. If the garage temperature dips below freezing, you might want to consider more elaborate protection, like wrapping the pots and to the tip of the shrubs with bubblewrap or burlap. If you use burlap, you might want to stuff inside the wrap with dry leaves. Once planted out into your garden in spring, you will need to practice winter protection for following years. |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5, Northern IL (My Page) on Sun, Nov 16, 08 at 13:11
Awesome! I've got some bubble wraps here. What about in my basement which stays between 45F to 55F? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 16, 08 at 21:46
That's too warm and won't allow for proper dormancy. The garage would be better, with some protection should it get very cold. |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5, Northern IL (My Page) on Sun, Nov 16, 08 at 21:56
Thanks! :) So looks like any plant hardy to zone 6, I can plant in a pot and have it overwinter in my garage. Correct? |

If you have room in your garage, it's fun to try. : ) Everyone's garage is different, depending on windows, which way it's facing and where you live of course. Mine has a big window on the west side and another window on the east, so it gets a little TOO warm sometimes in late winter. The garage door is on the north and a lot of cold air comes in around that if it's windy but we keep 2 liters out there and it's unusual for them to freeze up if I keep them on the side closest to the house. This year I'm overwintering some salvias that aren't quite hardy for me and some fuchsia. There's no harm in trying to overwinter plants that would otherwise be annual for you. Since you have more than one Cityline Paris and a guarantee, you might want to try one outside and one in your garage or if you don't mind the extra trouble, you could move them from your garage to your basement just on the nights when you know it's going to get really really cold. |

My garage is facing east with no windows but with glass panels on top. I'm thinking of buying a temperature reader so I can compare it with outside temp. Anyways, I covered them yesterday. I also placed a bottled water beside it so I'll know if it's freezing. I do have access to the side so I can water them once every 2 weeks. |

So looks like any plant hardy to zone 6, I can plant in a pot and have it overwinter in my garage. Correct? In theory, yes :-)) Providing some sort of indoor/undercover winter protection is pretty common for a lot of gardeners that grow tender perennials or otherwise borderline hardy plants, but everyone has their preferences on how to best accomplish this. And in some plant cases, it is just simply not worth the effort because of the amount of fussing involved, the temperment of the plant or its abilty to propagate so easily that additional protection is unnecessary. A couple of issues, Neil: the need for watering will be at a minimum during this period. You only want to keep the soil barely moist. Unless your garage is excessively warm and dry, evaporation will be virtually nonexistant so I'd check about once a month or so. And the plants need to be able to breath. You want the bubble wrap or newspaper to act as a sleeve, wrapping around the pot and the topgrowth but not engulfing the entire plant. Stuffing loosely inside the sleeve with dried leaves, straw or moss will provide some additional insulation but allow oxygen exchange. |

Just an update. The big puddle beside our lot is frozen. Yesterday, it was 14F. The bottled water in the garage(beside by hydrangea) which has been sitting for many days is still in perfect liquid form. That means, the temp in the garage is above 32F. :) |

Found this link. Can I do this with my Cityline in spring? |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5, Northern IL (My Page) on Sat, Nov 22, 08 at 14:21
LOL. I'm so sorry, I forgot to mention what I really wanted to do. I want to divide my Cityline in spring. So yeah, can I divide my Cityline in spring? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 23, 08 at 8:36
I wouldn't. First, hydrangeas are shrubs and do not have the same growth habit as herbaceous perennials with multiple stems emerging from the root crown. Perennials often need division to clean out older, non-vigorous growth and to recharge flowering potential. Woody shrubs do not need similar attention. And while many hydrangeas ARE suckering shrubs, producing rooted stems away from the primary rooted stem or mother plan, this often does not occur until the plants are well established in the landscape. Attempting to separate the roots or divide a new, non-established plant would put it at unnecessary risk. Propagation of hydrangeas is better accomplished by cuttings or layering. |
Here is a link that might be useful: dividing shrubs
- Posted by hayseedman z5/6 Ct. (My Page) on Sun, Nov 23, 08 at 12:25
I divide Hydrangea Macrophyllas all the time. I've got a yard full of Deutzia 'Pride of Rochester' and Spiraea Nipponica that I once got on a kick dividing. These are six and twelve foot plants that I hacked in to two pieces and planted. I did this maybe 15 years ago and now they're very large and completely healthy from the begining. The Macrophylla do have a crown like structure (as does the Deutsia and the Spiraea Nipponica) to them in somewhat the same way that a lot of our perennials do and you will be able to divide them in much the same way as you might a hosta. My very first Macrophylla is now about 25 years old and all the canes come out of a very tight base that's no wider than a little over two feet. This works very well for plants you might want to keep in pots. When they get so large that they're too big, then just cut them in half. Hay |

I recently attended a lecture on hydrangeas and the person was from the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and told us that the 'Cityline' series of hydrangeas is NOT winter hardy and should be over wintered in an unheated garage. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 31, 08 at 11:45
In zone 7, pretty much any type of bigleaf hydrangea is winter hardy and the Cityline series would be no exception. There is nothing in these plants' genetic make up that would make them significantly any less hardy, just more compact. However, zone 5 is borderline for most most H. macrophyllas and winter protection is advised to ensure no bud damage and loss of flowers. But winter protection can be adequately provided in the ground if one follows the proper steps - there is no need to move into a garage or similar place unless they are grown permanently in containers. |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sat, Jan 3, 09 at 1:42
jazzmom516, I'm so glad that my Cityline hydrangea in my unheated garage is still doing well. Most of the leaves(same as my picture above) are still green. The bubble wrap/newspaper is doing a great job in insulating it. I'm sure that my garage have seen temps below 28F since water bottles are frozen. Oh, just an fyi. I water it every 2 weeks. :) |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Fri, Mar 6, 09 at 15:56
Here is an update folks. I'm so glad that my hydrangea did pretty well in our unheated garage. Our temps even reached -35F I think mid January although that was outside. Anyways, I planted them outside an hour ago. I don't think our temp will reach below 20F anymore. So I'm hoping they'll be safe. |
What was the rush to do it in early March? Should of wait for much safer time in mid April. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 7, 09 at 9:45
I agree with George, I would have waited.......there is still a very real possibility of bud and stem damage at this time of year in your zone. |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sat, Mar 7, 09 at 9:57
oh my god, I should have waited then. I'll look for some hay to cover them. Thanks. |
I did the same thing with the first rush of warm weather with my roses - they're already uncovered. Oops. I have to say I'm quite envious of your pictures - the hydrangeas have so many stems. I purchased my first Annabelle's last year, bought two, and they're literally just one stem each. I ordered online, but don't remember where from off the top of my head. Hopefully they'll spread fast. Is that cardinal dogwood behind the hydrangea? We have ours planted in a location with little sunlight, and the twigs have very little redness to them, but I think the variety we chose is poor for color anyway. You live and you learn, right! Good luck with your hydrangea. I'd love to see pics when in bloom. I'm in Wisconsin, zone 5 so like you, my choices with Hydrangea are limited. |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Thu, Mar 12, 09 at 22:43
Behind the hydrangea is Red Twig Dogwood. I'm also experimenting on the cuttings. Hopefully, they'll make it. I didn't want to spend money on the hay anymore or other materials to cover them. It's still exposed. We've already hit teens lately. Yesterday, weather.com said it was -1F due to wind chill factor. Right now, they're saying 13F. It's ok since I got those hydrangeas for $2 each. They're still looking good. I have not seen any signs of stress. Hopefully, the buds aren't damaged. We will find out when it doesn't bloom. Oh, the dogwood and hydrangea are planted in the north side. It only gets morning sun. I will keep you posted. :) |
- Posted by hokierustywilliamsbu (My Page) on Tue, Mar 24, 09 at 14:18
how r your citylines doing??? Left mine outside in a pot and we got down to 15--so do not know what they will do--I would have waited 4-6 more weeks in your area.... |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Fri, Mar 27, 09 at 2:47
Most of the greens are gone. :P I only see a few as compared before. However, I saw new buds at the bottom and they're color red. I'm not sure if that's a good sign. I'll look closely tomorrow. |
Hi - I have been told by our local nursery experts in z5a-5, to wait 'til 'Mom's Day' to peel off Winter Coats from tender bloomers ... seems too long of a wait, particularly when Mama Nature teases us with gorgeous, sunny days of 60s-70s in Mar! I've had several bloomless seasons & keeping in mind the famous saying ... "come in like a lamb & leave like a lion" plus those blizzards & hard freezes in late Apr! If you have saved some of your huge nursery pots, turn them over your Cityline beauties secured with bricks for added protection incase those wicked winds blow away your piled hay ... just a few more weeks. Good luck ... 'love to see photos perhaps in June!!! |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Tue, Apr 14, 09 at 18:32
Here are some updates folks. What are those buds? Are those only for the leaves? I'm seeing many of them again. :) |
- Posted by bobmark226 5 Woodstock, NY (My Page) on Wed, Apr 15, 09 at 14:43
"I recently attended a lecture on hydrangeas and the person was from the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and told us that the 'Cityline' series of hydrangeas is NOT winter hardy and should be over wintered in an unheated garage." Really? I have Cityline Paris and Venice, I don't even protect them. They're through their second Winter now and are not only budding, they've even got leaves already! Bob |
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Wed, Apr 15, 09 at 23:00
That gives me a lot of hope Bob. :) Looking at my latest pics, looks like they're going to perform well. I'll post more pics in the future. |
Hi v1rtu0s1ty - Congratulations!!! 'looks like we're going to see beautiful photos of your CL beauties in a little while! I'm still raking up remnants of Winter (winds) collected by my collection of sorts - biding my time as I resist the daily temptations to uncover all the tender-bloomers amongst the reliables ... the H paniculata leaflets, bursting out of their cocoons (so to speak!) ... just thrilled that perhaps SPRING has really sprung!!! |
There is a fellow in the Rochester NY area who has done a LOT of experimentation with bigleaf hydrangeas. I think he recommends cutting them back to about 12" in SEPTEMBER, then mulching heavily when the ground freezes. I just bought a very samll Citiline from a reliable source, and they rated it zone 5. I guess time will tell! Those buds down in the center will be your most promising flowering stems. |
