Proposed Shooting Range Worries Residents
Residents of a Canton neighborhood are worried about safety, noise, and traffic, if a shooting range is built in their community.
Many people living in the historic black community of Gibsontown signed a petition opposing the proposal to build a police shooting range in an old landfill off Dutch Cove Road. "We are strongly opposed to these plans and to this development," says Wanda Walker.
Some residents claim the neighborhood is being railroaded because of their race. "One of the council members said it was undesirable. He didn't say what was undesirable. We don't know if what he said meant the people or the land or what," says resident and NAACP member Lewis Oats.
Town leaders say race had nothing to do with the proposal. "None whatsoever. This was property that the town had owned," says Mayor Mike Ray.
The Mayor says Town Aldermen are simply looking at possible sites, and there's no racism involved. He says other options will be considered, including paying a fee to share firing ranges used by the Haywood County Sheriff's Office, and the Waynesville Police Department.
The Town of Canton will continue to explore options for a shooting range and says no decision will be made without the public's knowledge.

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I am facing the same challenge with my little son who is allergic to dairy, eggs, and wheat. I have tried a few cake mixes for vegan, gluten free brownies, but they were not really to my satisfaction. These brownies are so easy and quick to make and very tasty. I might try adding some real chocolate next time as the very dark chocolate usually is vegan, too. Will definitely make these over and over again!
I tried this recipe when I was in a pinch and I forgot I was supposed to bring brownies to the local soup kitchen! We eat gluten free at home and I don't keep flour in the house, so I was thankful to find this recipe. I also didn't have brown sugar, so I used agave nectar as a substitute. I will say that I didn't actually try these, but they looked fantastic and the pan was gone immediately, and I didn't see a single person bring theirs back uneaten (which actually happens fairly frequently with our guests there)! The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that I didn't actually taste them. :)
Maybe it was my choice of All Purpose Flour but the brownie batter came out so dry that I had to use 1/4 cup extra applesauce and coconut milk. Also, the texture was not cake like but dense and chewy...not moist and gooey. My son also felt that it gave him a sugar rush. Not a fan.

The city's at a crossroads. The next mayor will face serious challenges even before you consider the unexpected. The choice of whom we elect will largely determine whether the gains of the last couple decades are maintained or we reverse course. You've heard it all before. But that's because it's true.
These are uncertain times. When will Wall Street's recovery finally make its way to Main Street? How will roughly 150 new city union contracts be hammered out without either bankrupting the taxpayer or shortchanging the worker? Will violent crime begin to rise again? Will the next terrorist plot be successful? How can the schools be improved without leaving so many children behind?
Serious questions that call for a serious leader. And on the Democratic side of the aisle, we believe the best choice for the mayoral nomination is Bill Thompson. That measured demeanor, that quiet but strong personality? They're not an act. That's Thompson. And that's what New York needs.
Thompson has vast experience in public service, as well as a stint in the private sector that would help inform his decision-making if elected. He's always been a moderate, even a peacemaker. He was the youngest-ever deputy borough president in Brooklyn, and worked hard to restore racial harmony after the 1991 Crown Heights riots.
Shortly after that he was appointed to the old Board of Education, and, with the support of then-Mayor Giuliani, successfully ran for president of the board. In that post he worked to centralize administration of the school system, a needed move that helped set the stage for mayoral control — a worthy though imperfect change.
On that subject, one of Thompson's more impressive proposals is to reduce the number of mayoral appointees on the 13-member Panel for Educational Policy from eight to six. That would end the guaranteed majority that Mayor Bloomberg has wielded like a club to force his agenda through. But Thompson says that if he can't get one more person to agree to what he has to say, maybe there's something wrong with what he has to say. Quite a novel tack to take.
"Who gives up power like that?" rival candidate Anthony Weiner asked. Someone comfortable in his positions.
After leaving the school board, Thompson won two terms as city comptroller. During his tenure the city's pension fund investments achieved a 12.3 percent rate of return, 50 percent better than forecast. Not bad, not bad at all. And a promising sign of the financial acumen he would bring to the budget negotiation table.
On the crimefighting front, Thompson has backed stop and frisk but has since softened his support for it. He's running in a left-leaning primary, and we're confident he would take a moderate position if elected. The practice was already being reformed, and used much less, before a majority of the City Council and a federal judge decided to handcuff the Police Department.
A word about Thompson's major opponents:
Weiner also has some good ideas, and is dying to serve, but he's made himself unelectable because of his personal habits. Council Speaker Christine Quinn also plays a good moderate game, but she's too volatile and could get in trouble by shooting from the hip. Public Advocate Bill de Blasio knows where he would take the city but is simply too far to the left for us. Saddest of all for us is Comptroller John Liu, who could have made us proud as a son of Queens, but has been tainted by his campaign finance scandal.
Thompson's the one, and we're glad to endorse him in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary for mayor. See page 10 for our Republican choice.

Toyota Sequoia Interior
Reviewers agree that the 2014 Toyota Sequoia's interior is well-built, although some say that the design isn't that interesting or luxurious. They write that the 2014 Sequoia has plenty of room to seat eight people in comfort and lots of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat. They also think that most of the Sequoia's controls are user-friendly, though most complain that the stereo is hard for the driver to reach.
- "The design is somewhat bland and a couple notches below sinfully luxurious but, as would be expected of a Toyota, the assembly detail is without fault." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "As one would expect, the Sequoia's interior is vast, but clever touches make it quite versatile as well." -- Left Lane News
- "This SUV is built well, but its overall ambiance is more pickup durable than high-end opulent. That's OK in the base SR5, but not so much in the top-end Platinum." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
- "The Sequoia's passenger cabin offers abundant room for passengers, cargo or a combination of the two. Whether you opt for the eight- or seven-passenger variation, you'll find a more comfortable and versatile cabin than its rivals." -- Edmunds (2013)
The eight-seat 2014 Sequoia comes standard with cloth seats and a power-adjustable driver's seat. Optional features include leather upholstery and heated front- and second-row seats. Optional second-row captain's chairs can replace the standard bench seat, which reduces seating capacity to seven. Reviewers say the front seats have good legroom, but one says headroom is lacking. Automotive journalists write that the second row holds three adults comfortably, and one appreciates the second-row bench's individual reclining and sliding seats, which can adjust to allow for more legroom, or bring children closer to parents in the front seats. Several test drivers note that the third-row seats are adult-friendly, which is a rare compliment for the class.
- "The 2014 Toyota Sequoia is a true 8-seater, with a 3rd-row seat that really will accommodate adults and is easily reached, thanks to big rear doors and sliding 2nd-row seats." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "Legroom is great, but headroom is surprisingly stingy." -- Consumer Guide (2013 front seats)
- "The second-row seats in particular not only recline, but slide fore and aft for extra legroom: a rare feature among full-size SUVs. The center section of the 40/20/40-split second-row bench also slides forward to put little ones within easy reach of mom and dad." -- Edmunds (2013)
Interior Features
The Toyota Sequoia comes standard with tri-zone automatic climate control and Entune Audio Plus, which features a touch-screen interface, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, a USB port and HD Radio. Options include a JBL sound system, navigation and a rear-seat Blu-Ray entertainment system. The Sequoia also has several optional safety and driver assistance features, including front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.
Reviewers agree that most of the Sequoia's various interior features have user-friendly controls. However, many complain that the switchgear for the audio system is difficult for the driver to reach.
See the full 2014 Toyota Sequoia specs »
- "The controls are user-friendly for the most apart, although the sheer width of the SUV can make the audio controls difficult to reach for shorter drivers." -- Left Lane News
- "We accuse Tundra of having a somewhat haphazard control layout, and Sequoia takes that even further because it includes a number of functions its pickup sibling lacks, such as three-zone climate control and an air suspension. Many controls reside too far to the passenger side of the console, a long stretch from the driver's seat." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
- "Controls are generally easy to use, but those for the audio system require a long reach for the driver." -- Edmunds (2013)
The 2014 Toyota Sequoia has 18.9 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats, 66.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 120.1 cubic feet behind the first. The Sequoia's cargo space is excellent for the class, but still trails the cavernous Chevrolet Suburban's cargo room. However, the Sequoia's third-row seats fold into the floor, which critics like, and reviewers say the Sequoia's cabin is loaded with places to store small items. With the second- and third-row seats folded into the floor, the Sequoia has a flat loading area from the front-row seats back. A power liftgate is available on higher trims.
- "The Sequoia's interior is well set up for carrying stuff, too, with 66.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats." -- Edmunds (2013)
- "Cargo room behind the 3rd row is relatively limited, but there's a full-width bin below the rear floor section. The 2nd and 3rd rows fold easily and level with the floor to create a long, flat expanse. The cabin is rife with cupholders, bins, pouches, and pockets." -- Consumer Guide (2013)

Not the greatest. Friendly service but they really didn't know what they were talking about
Other than the lectures I've had to give sales staff who asked for my I.D. when I was buying powder or bullets and other than the huffy duds who work at the gun counter, I like them fine. I've had good service from a woman at the WSS gun counter and I've had good service from their mail order department. I'd rank Bass Pro ahead of them, tho. Cabelas is just as bad. I bought a rifle at Cabelas a few months ago and they took I.D. and wrote it in their book (registry?) and would not give it to me until we were physically outside the store. Nobody else in Alberta had that rifle or I'd have left it. That is the last time I will pay $1,000+ for something and leave feeling dirty. If they have a problem with guns or gun buyers, maybe they should sell groceries.

I'm not really surprised there was issues at the gun counter. Their the same set I've had troubles with. I've also just recently boughten a scope from there, same counter as the rifles. I never thought to really check the scope out until I was already about half hour away from the store, wish I did sooner. It was very obviously a display model or something. There was gouges in the batter compartments lid (has illuminated reticle), and the battery was missing. The mail order was great though, I will admit that. I'm thinking about giving them a third in store go and seeing how that goes.
I've had some limited but good dealings with Prophet River; they are up your way. Have heard lots of good things about them, too. You might want to give them a try? I spend a fair bit at Sportsman's Den in Red Deer; even though Dale is not the cheapest in the land his prices are close enough and he is supportive of gun owners. I don't see the same interest in our issues among the big box stores (although I've certainly spent a buck or two in them myself) and think we/I should remember more often who our friends are.
I've stuck my head in Prophet River two or three times, I haven't boughten anything from them, yet. But they never had that "if your not buying, get out" attitude. I'm sure my next buy will be from them, they've got a small but good selection. I was actually surprised when he told me they don't sell snap caps. As for any where outside of Lloyd minister and Edmonton, I haven't really looked at. I've also only been to Cabela's once, and that was to get my 770. I like to keep track of the smaller shops too, but I've only found on close to me. That's CJ's firearms, which is pretty much a mom and pop shop done out of their basement. He's a cool guy and will try and get what you're looking for if he doesn't have it. I do agree with knowing who is and isn't very friendly though.

I have ficus hedges all around my property. What is the easiest and most economical way to remove them so they don't grow back? |

A Bobcat |
chainsaw and commercial roundup |
Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure a bobcat would work as they are a few inches from the sidewalk (on 2 sides of a corner lot). For the chainsaw method, would I use roundup first and then chainsaw, or would I chainsaw and then paint the stumps with roundup? |
commercial round up on fresh cut stumps is the way to go for me |
- Posted by JerryatTreeZoo Z10 So Fla (My Page) on Sun, Dec 4, 05 at 12:24
Method #1: Move away and don't leave a forwrding address. Method #2: Use a tow strap or chain. Attach one end to the base of the bush, the other to your Ford F250. Pull in the direction parallel to or away from the sidewalk if they are very large. This can damage the transmissions of small light vehicles. Jerry |
You could contact Bonsai groups or Societies near you, they might be interested in coming out and digging them up for you. They remove the trees for free of charge and you don't have to do any work. Should be a win - win situation for both parties. |
Dig them out, don't leave the stumps or the roots. You can find day laborers all over the 3 counties for $10 an hour. Get three or four big guys, give 'em shovels and get out of the way. |
Stumps will easily remove in a few months without much work..I just removed a hedge of holly this way with great success..used comercial round up(50%) instructions |

Despite what all of the reports are saying, the economy is still in the crapper and folks are feeling it all over. People are relying on "Staycations" more than going too far from home, but according to a new survey by Choice Hotels, 90% of families taking trips this summer will DRIVE.
Hey, did you notice it's hot outside? Like, pretty freaking hot. Maybe you can't afford the luxury of air conditioning. Maybe it doesn't matter because you still have to go outside. Don't panic (and certainly don't run). Here's a GIF guide to surviving a summer heat wave.
Whether it's the good kind of adventure ("Welcome to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas") or the bad one ("This plane is being taken out of service."), flying the friendly skies these days always holds an element of risk.

Not sure about you, but nothing says Summer like a nice rack.........of ribs! Smoked, that is. You don't have to go to a specialty restaurant to get them either. You can make these right at home and enjoy a cold brew (or twelve) while you are doing it.
Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!

one usually digs trees.. when they are in dormancy.. rather than august ... so your first decision is when its the proper TIMING to do it ... [i am presuming you just did this.. since you provide very few facts .. other than they died ] then.. being trees.. you have to figure out.. what kind of potting MEDIA.. a tree would prefer.. and it is usually NEVER soil.. or mother earth ... what did you use ... i see you wannabe a bonsai peep.. so you should know about medias ... and then ... you need to learn how to keep it alive in a pot ... which means perfecting watering.. and fertilizing ... and the last thing.. is NEVER leave a black pot in the sun.. you can cook the roots ... one other thought.. i would have done one.. and when that failed.. i would still have had on to try again with ... on top of all that.. where are you .. and perhaps we can suggest a better time to try such ... ken |
A few months ago I dug up 7 loquat seedlings from under a friend's tree. Six of them are healthy and doing fine(putting out new leaves), one dropped it's leaves and looks dead. When I dug them up I tried to get as much root as possible, but that was difficult because some were growing right next to the mother tree's large roots. I also tried to loosen the ground down about 12" around each seedling, using a narrow shovel and even followed some of the roots with my fingers, trying to get as much as possible. I took them straight home and planted them in 1 gal black containers, using my favorite potting soil, Supersoil. I watered them well and made sure they were all placed in spots that were mostly shady. For the ones that got some sunlight (1-3 hrs max) I wrapped the black plastic containers with white plastic (strips cut from old potting soil bags), so the sun wouldn't be able to over heat the roots. The first two weeks or so I made sure I watered them a lot. I think the key is to keep them out of the hot sun, and not to let the roots dry out. You want the roots to grow, and in hot weather I think shade is conducive to this. When you see that they have survived the transplant and are putting out new leaves, then worry about how much sun you want them to have. I've had bad luck with loquat trees that get the hot afternoon sun. When they are young you need to find a way to protect them from the sun. Loquats are evergreen trees, so I don't worry too much about when I dig one up...although I think early spring is always going to be the best time. If you are in a hot summer climate, here's a link from Phoenix, Arizona...good information about growing loquats and other tropical/subtropical plants. phoenix(no space)tropicals(dot)com/loquat.html Sorry for the cryptic link, but Gardenweb seems to be disallowing any links that they think might be commercial. This is a really good free website for growing information and although I've seen one ad there, that hardly qualifies it as a commercial website. John |

Can I just patch this? Or do I need to cut out the drywall around the hole and add new drywall around the outlet? I plan on sealing the rest of the damaged drywall with Gardz and will be tiling over it. |

Spackle should work. |

For a deep patch like this I would use Ready Patch. It is available in a half pint. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ready Patch
At the big box stores they sell drywall hole patches - square in various sizes. Thin metal, fiberglass tape backing. Buy one and use tin snips to cut a portion of it off and stick over the crumbled hole. Mud over it. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 14 at 21:24
If you fill it with ready patch you can cover all of it with an oversized wall plate and avoid using multiple coats of compound, sanding and perhaps paint. The wall finish seems a bit strange. Maybe you plan to refinish all of it anyway. |

text: I spoke with my primary physician last week, and he recommended a name of a bariatric surgeon for me. Well, I got up the courage to call and make a consultation appointment this morning, and was able to get one for August 25! WOW!:) I didn't even think I would get in THAT soon--I was expecting maybe around October or so; it's hard to get an appointment with this particular doc! Anyway, I am supposed to get some general information packets in the mail; meanwhile I am staying on my 1500 calorie ADA-recommended diet. Might as well get a head start!:D

Yet the numbers also indicate a 30 percent drop in the mortality rate of CHD babies over the past decade. A great deal of the credit goes to dramatic medical advances over the past quarter-century that have greatly expanded prenatal detection and surgical options for a staggering array of heart defects; while many of the most complex heart problems can't be truly "cured," pediatric heart surgeons have increasingly refined techniques for re-engineering the system to get blood and oxygen where it's needed. Some of the earliest beneficiaries of these surgeries are now in their thirties and leading healthy lives, without a heart transplant — raising hopes for CHD families worldwide.
Those families may be playing a vital role themselves in the improving survival rate. Like the Holbrooks, many of them are deeply involved in just about every phase of their child's treatment. It's not unusual now for major pediatric cardiology centers such as Children's to connect pregnant women who've just learned that their fetus has a heart condition with parents of other CHD babies, so they can compare notes, confide fears and plan for the future.
"As we see these families communicate in social forums, we get a sense of what other centers are doing," says Stacey Lihn, president of Sisters by Heart, a national organization of mothers of children born with a rare condition known as hypoplastic left-heart syndrome. "We can hook up practitioners who are doing something different, compare and tweak medications, and so on. I believe we're educating the centers as to what's going on elsewhere. We're trying to bridge that gap between families and doctors."
Lihn's group has sent out more than 600 "care packages" to CHD families over the past three years, filled with items such as side-snap onesies that make it easier to dress a baby hooked up to wires and tubes. Lihn was a featured speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, praising the Affordable Care Act for providing a safety net for her own daughter, Zoe — who'd had two open-heart surgeries by the time she was four months old and was facing an insurance "lifetime cap" that would have deprived her of any future coverage. Her activism has been an inspiration to other moms, including Traci Holbrook.
"The culture of medicine is gradually changing, especially in pediatric medicine," says Lihn. "When you get this diagnosis, you feel so helpless. The one thing families can do is educate themselves and play some role in their child's care. That gives you some sense of control. You have to advocate for your child. You may not have an M.D. by your name, but you know your child best."
Since Jackson's birth, the Holbrooks have been through a crash course in cardiology — with additional lessons in patience, crisis management and adjusted expectations. While juggling a marriage, a job as a paralegal, and raising Jackson's older brother, Mason, Traci has learned more than she ever wanted to about pleural effusion, electrolytes and junctional heartbeats, and she's gotten to the point where she can reasonably gauge Jackson's oxygen saturation level by the degree of blue tinge in his complexion. ("Any day with pink toes is a good day," she says.) But she's also learned that there's a great deal she can't control, that comes down to the mysteries of medicine and prayer and the heart of a samurai.
"I hope he'll outlive me, but to be honest, I don't know," she says. "Right now I'm just trying to live and enjoy my children. I want the chaos of a normal life. That's all I want."
There are more than three dozen types of congenital heart defects. In the vast majority of cases, there's no known cause for the condition, no possible means of prevention or cure. Many families don't even find out their child has heart trouble until after delivery; increasingly, though, CHD is being detected before birth, leaving expectant parents facing a formidable decision.
Younoszai, Jackson's cardiologist, likens a parent's discovery of a fetus with CHD to the shock of the sudden passing of a loved one — it's the death of many dreams of "normal" family life, of what that child was supposed to become. "Nobody expects their child to have high medical needs," he notes. "One of the things I've learned is that it's a mourning process. Every time your life goes through that kind of change, where expectations and reality have completely split, there's a sense of loss, anger and denial."
Before Jackson came along, Chris and Traci Holbrook had other plans of their own. Both had come to Colorado looking for a fresh start, from opposite sides of the West. Clean and sober after youthful bouts with drugs and alcohol, Chris had followed some friends to Denver from Phoenix and found work as a technician for a lawn-service company. Traci had come from Montana in 1998 with her first husband and divorced a couple of years later. The couple met through an online dating service in 2003. Two years later, Chris popped the question during a gondola ride at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
"She thought I was going to say 'I love you' for the first time," he recalls. "But there was no doubt in my mind. I'm hesitant to commit, but once I decide, that's it."

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Authorities in Northern California say a light plane lost power and was forced to make a crash landing in a street.
The Fresno Bee reports the single-engine aircraft landed just south of a runway near the Sierra Sky Park in northwest Fresno Sunday morning.
No injuries were reported as the pilot was not hurt and no one on the ground was hit.
Fresno Fire Battalion Chief Rich Cabral says the pilot from Clovis flew to Madera and was returning to Fresno when his plane lost power, causing it to crash in the street near the privately-owned airport.
Fire officials have secured the area as the plane's wings and undercarriage were damaged.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board both have been notified of the crash.

Explore the remarkable impact of Australia's Muslim cameleers in transforming central Australia.
This exhibition reveals the remarkable contribution which Australia's first Muslim community, from Afghanistan and British India, made to the exploration and settlement of Australia's arid interior.
Cameleers assisted all major expeditions into Australia's uncharted interior starting with the Burke and Wills expedition in 1860 and have contributed significantly to Australia's economic and cultural development.
These Muslim pioneers provided the lifeblood for many inland settlements, isolated stations and mines, and forged communication routes through remote Australia.

Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The congressional conference committee charged with resolving the impasse over a payroll tax cut will meet for the first time on Jan. 24, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus said today.
The conference panel must decide whether and how to extend a 2 percentage point payroll tax cut for workers though 2012. Lawmakers agreed in December to extend the break through Feb. 29.
The biggest hurdle for the panel will be how to cover the estimated $100 billion cost of a full-year extension. Democrats want to pay for the bill by imposing a surtax on income over $1 million while Republicans want to freeze pay for government workers.

Is there a way to enjoy public transport on your daily commute?
Public transport couldn't be more exciting because it's the best platform for people watching.
There's no better way to get a real insight into local life than travelling alongside a monk on a ferry in Thailand, sitting next to a local family on a bus in Old Delhi or sharing a meal with locals aboard a sleeper train headed for Hanoi.
Getting from one place to another can often be a slow process at home, waiting in line for a bus, or queuing for a delayed train, but there is another form of slow travel that will have you jumping aboard the next slow departure, would you believe?
Laos is home to part of the mighty Mekong River and getting from place to place, when you have some time to kill which is a luxury, can be tough. I think there is only one way to travel: via slow boat. Cruising down the river for hours on end watching a traditional life pass you by and stopping to spend the night with a local family, what better way to travel? The scenery on the Mekong is incredibly picturesque and travelling with a small group makes it ideal, in case you do get a little bit fidgeting for an hour or two. We all moan about slow public transport, but this one, well, you'll have to see it to believe it.
On the bus to the airport for my first trip away, I asked myself, can public transport be enjoyable and so I went in search of the answer. And, it's a yes!
On my first night in Bangkok, I found myself sharing some Pad Thai with two local girls aboard the sleeper train towards Chiang Mai and although the language barrier was a problem, it was a fascinating, real life experience that I won't forget. Backpackers, locals, businessmen and families all huddled around small, shabby tables mixing together and I felt instantly part of the community. Not to mention the sleeping arrangements, which were by far the most exciting! Rows and rows of bunk beds lined the main carriages; there was definitely no room for animosity on this train!
I thought I had seen it all until I arrived in Old Delhi India, and took the local bus towards the spice market. A local family sat down to share a picnic on the bus floor with a child they had just met on the bus; I couldn't understand their conversation, but I knew I have witnessed something beautiful. There isn't much room to even breathe on these buses, but still I didn't moan. People come from all walks of life and getting to know them is half the fun.
So in my quest to discover the joys of public transport, I would think twice about the so-called 'daily grind' because at the end of the day, you are experiencing the joy of travel, no matter where you end up.

It sounds like a settling foundation issue. Depending on the actual construction, this could be a job for a foundation company or a general contractor. If it were me, I'd call several of each to take a look. Then see who makes the most sense and, hopefully, has the best price. A structural engineer might need to be involved, too. That cable business is for the birds. Your solution will probably involve something like jacking up the structure, placement of one or more beams underneath, and pouring of adequate new foundations to support posts for the beams. |

I planted a small Romneya in May. I have kept it watered in our hot dry clmate. It grew in the first weeks a little (no flowers) and has now stopped. There have been some yellow leaves at the base of the plant for the last few weeks. It looks OK to me in that the stems leaves are fine. Is this normal?. Does it lose its leaves in the winter? We probably won't have rain for another 4 weeks. I know they are difficult to get going as they don't like root disturbance......am I past the danger period? (early August) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Whether it remains evergreen or goes dormant mostly depends on how warm or cold you get in winter. Here in northern California most people cut them back to the ground in late fall because the old stems tend to look a bit tattered by then. It is normal for oldest foliage to yellow by late summer. I'd continue to keep it moist until it cools down in fall. It is probably well enough established after 4months that it will make it long term. In early spring, give it rich compost and/or time release fertilizer to encourage strong new growth, and watered at least every few weeks in winter if you don't get regular winter rainfall. By the third summer it should be able to grow without much hand watering at all, but will bloom and grow more vigorously with moister conditions in the dry summer months. |
They seldom do well in heavy clay soil, preferring a sand based soil that drains well. Al |
Al, they seem to do just fine in flat clay loam soil here in Berkeley. _? |
I got a 1-gallon container a few years ago and kept it watered, thinking I didn't want to let it dry out. The plant died (I thought) so I stopped watering but didn't get around to composting it -- just left it alone. After some time of ignoring it, I noticed new green growth. I planted it right away and it has flourished ever since. So I'm wondering if you might be overwatering? They are very drought-tolerant. I agree with both calistoga & bahia. Mine are doing well in clay loam (not a heavy clay) too. I think Matilijas *prefer* sand (ie, they run rampant!). They are better behaved and spread more slowly for me here than a few miles away in the coastal sand. It helps if I prune heavily in the fall; then my patch tends to spend its energy growing UP instead of OUT. |

Nada, I volunteer in a garden with a whole hillside of them. Here they bloom in May and June, but after that, the do look rather tattered. We usually cut them back at some point towards fall. As they spread by rhizome, you may not really know how well your plant has "taken" until next spring. It is often said that CA natives sleep the first year, creep the second year, and leap the third year. Good luck with your Matilija poppies! How did you find them there? |
Al, many folks are loath to leave this area so it must have been a good move for your slogal, too! |
I married a slogal back in 1947, a good move. Al How do you know it's going to last? ;^) I love those Romneyas. One of the most photogenic plants ever. Not something I would have in my garden, but they are wow flowers. |
Hoovb that is the best closeup of a Romneya bloom I have ever seen. I would love to have one in my garden here in the hills of the coast range, but have not been able to get one to live here for more than a few months. The next one I will plant in a large container, where I can choose the mix. My slogal is holding up, but slowing down. Al |
Thanks everyone for the very informed views. It is great to hear about what happens to them in California. It is doing fine and a couple of tiny new leaves are showing. It is in sandy/clay soil. Very well draining. I bought it in the UK and brought it back here. I have never seen them in Spain. I am nervous to prune it. By the way we have no rain for 5 months. It is however on a dripper system at the moment. |
Nada, In their native range, rain is rare from May to November so I don't anticipate that your summer drought will faze them in the least once they are established. We are fairly similar to the Mediterranean basin climatologically speaking. Ryan |
Absolutely, Southern California is considered a mediterranean climate zone. Your map shows exactly how it is. I have many californian natives, the best performer is Heteromeles arbutifolia (Toyon) I love it...and which does so well here. Don't have luck with Ceanothus though..3 have died on me. You should belong to the Mediterranean Garden Society,Google it...a world wide association with branches in So Cal. |
I have been a member in the past, and I still receive invitations to many events (and have gone to several) I allowed my membership to expire because they were reluctant to join the 21st century (I see that you can now pay online - it used to be snail mail by check or money order only). Unfortunately for you, Ceanothus species and cultivars from the north coast of the state are over-represented in the trade and this is probably exacerbated by the fact that I imagine most distribution to your neck of the woods is via Britain. Ryan |
Well, in 2014 I still haven't had a flower.What am I doing wrong???? |

nada, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. How about uploading a photo of your plant. Otherwise give a detailed description of it, of the frequency of watering, of how much sun it gets during the day-should be in full sun, the nature of your soil bed. That would be a good start. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Check this link for great info
I was up in the Portland Oregon area a few weeks ago and was surprised at how well they do there. I saw them in several different places and they looked great. Surprised they looked so happy. nada, yes, can you post a photo? it should have bloomed by now. does it get winter rain? if so, how much? It's in full sun, right? I think they need sufficient water to bloom. My neighbor has some on a rocky slope that gets no irrigation, and with the past two years of only 5" of rain per year, they have not bloomed and look quite stressed. |
Hello, thanks so much for your response to my question. The Romneya is in sandy/ chalky dry soil with a lot of dropped leaves which turn into mulch in time. We have had no rain here on the Costa Blanca in Spain since September 2103 (Its been really bad as we normally have some good rain in Feb and May to tide us over the summer.It is on a drip watering system. Other plants around it which do well are Hibiscus, Feijoa. Lentisk, Agave, Lonicera, It gets about 3-4 hours of direct sun a day but the area is well lit and light. I have not pruned it yet and I am wondering if I should do this (but when?) I would love to have this beautiful flower from Southern California blooming in my garden! |
It gets about 3-4 hours of direct sun a day I think that's your problem: not enough sun. 6 hrs + should get it growing more strongly and blooming. |
When and how should I prune it?? |
When they look really ratty, cut to the ground. Usually late summer/early fall, right before new stems emerge in the rainy season. Once they are established you can't get rid of them. I would not do the cutting until you are sure the plants are established, but since your plants have been in the spot for several years now, they are likely pretty established. |
What hoovb said, sun, sun, sun. This plant will take harsh conditions and love it. Given full sun it would quickly quintuple in size, then send out underground runners to expand its territory. |
Thanks everyone. This is all very helpful. I will give it much more sun by clearing some Pistacia lentiscus which overhangs it then prune it and see what happens!. |

"I ordered this style for my save the dates. I was very pleased with the outcome. Many of my guests emailed me to let me know how pretty they thought they were. The order came quickly, even before estimated time. My full name would not fit, the designers fit everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend this style to anyone."
"I thought these were beautiful and very cost effective. I should have looked at the measurements, because they were a little smaller than I was expecting, but overall I'm very happy!"
"My fiancé lives overseas and we were unable to have an engagement photo shoot. There were so many adorable save the date cards that had photo options but I didn't have any photos that fit well with them. This classic floral chalkboard postcard was the perfect fit for us! I changed the fonts a bit and added a cute message on the back. We definitely will order from wedding paper divas again!"
"So very happy with product, it has a fantastic finish was very easy to personalise. I will definitely be back looking for wedding invitations soon"
"I really like these save the dates that we used. It is a little on the small side (I did not pay attention to the dimensions when placing my order) so we ordered separate envelopes to mail them in. The colors are great and the quality of the print looks just as good as it does online. I highly recommend!"

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about milk. We've outlined six of the most prevalent misconceptions about conventional milk that you might be hearing.
To regulate the flow of traffic, road signs and stop lights are used for drivers to refer to. Regulation of traffic wouldn't be possible without road signs leading the way. In many cases, hormones and road signs play the same role. Hormones act as regulators for growth and metabolism in plants, animals and even humans. These chemical messengers are naturally occurring throughout all cell systems. Best Food Facts recently received a question regarding the level of hormones in food. We reached out to Dr. Ruth MacDonald and Dr. Ann Macrina for their expertise in hormones within food and livestock production.
There is conversation aplenty about GMOs. In fact, there is so much talk of GMOs and GM foods that you may find it surprising to know there are only nine GM crops commercially available in the United States.
The USDA approved commercial planting of a potato that resists browning and has fewer unsightly and wasteful bruises. It's called the Innate™ brand and could be coming to a supermarket near you in the not-too-distant future.
The herbicide 2,4-D has been around since the 1940s. So why is it currently causing so much controversy? We asked Dr. Wayne Parrott and Dr. William Vencill to explain more about the herbicide and its uses.
Lately, we have seen lots of consumer questions about glyphosate. Glyphosate, also referred to as "Roundup," is an herbicide used in agriculture to kill weeds. So what's all the buzz about glyphosate? Some resources link this herbicide to making crops more susceptible to disease, killing beneficial microorganisms, robbing plants of nutrients and more. We decided to reach out to Wayne Parrott, PhD, Professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia, and Tony Shelton, PhD, Professor of Entomology at Cornell University, to cut through conflicting information and to get the facts from university-based experts.
The non-government organization Center for Food Safety had three store-bought infant formulas tested for evidence of DNA from a GMO crop. The company used to conduct the test detected DNA from genetically engineered soy in some infant formula. Should parents be worried? We reached out to Dr. Kevin Folta, Professor and Chairman, Horticultural Sciences Department, Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Program and Plant Innovation Program at the University of Florida, to sort through what this finding means for parents.

Don Omar Challenges Enrique Santos To A Drag Race At DragMania Music Fest San Antonio, Texas

More than 500 tickets have been sold out in the Pre-Sales for the most awaited Music and Acceleration show in San Antonio, Texas on September 21st and 22nd.
The King DON OMAR, one of the brightest and successful singers that Universal Music Latin Entertainment (UMLE) has, will be crowned next month of September as the general producer of the most awaited event in all San Antonio.

For this edition, which will be recorded in history as the fifth celebration of the Festival, you can count with a special challenge of DON OMAR and the famous Univision radio broadcaster Enrique Santos. The Puerto Rican Singer developer of the concept "Danza Kuduro" and winner of multiple Billboard awards, never imagined that on this occasion he will have to go to San Antonio, Texas with a new personal challenge, both for himself and for his new vehicle developed by Mech Tech College "Mr. President".It's about the fast track duel that DON OMAR, only artist considered as the fastest in the world, proposed to the voice of the radio Enrique Santos. In the coming weeks, DON OMAR and Enrique Santos will star in the most daring, fast and dangerous challenge of their careers. DragMania Music Fest in San Antonio, Texas (September 21st and 22nd) will present among its main attractions for the enjoyment of the attendees a special production of DON OMAR V.S Enrique Santos, a competition that according to the Puerto Rican artista, only the best will win.
The relentless voice of Univision radio Enrique Santos on this morning, Wednesday August 28th accepted the challenge posed by DON OMAR, who was live via telephone in La Kalle 95.1 to present the anticipated event in San Antonio DragMania Music Fest. Both have decided to take a risk in a Drag Racing duel, but DON OMAR has begun to obtain point on his favor, since he is the only Singer in the world to hold the World Fastest Automatic Import record.
This popular two day Music and Acceleration Festival will feature some of the most famous cars and artists of the moment, in a competition for more than $25,000. In addition, there will be a live concert by DON OMAR, Natti Natasha, Syko "El Terror", Xavi "The Destroyer" and other great surprises.

Don't feel like paying the $30 asking price for a PlayStation Move Navigation Controller? There is a cheaper (albeit less comfortable) solution: just use the DualShock controller. At an E3 presentation about the Move, Anton Mikhailov confirmed that the two controllers are interchangeable.
This method of control was actually used at Tokyo Game Show last year, to demonstrate the newly implemented motion controls of Resident Evil 5. While using the DualShock may not be the most attractive way to play, it's certainly nice to know that you have an option to avoid the cost of entry.

Host of The Daily Show and much-loved US comic Jon Stewart has given his opinion on the US Supreme Court's decision to reject the California Violent Games Bill... in typically stinging fashion.
The bill, first signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger back in 2005, sought to make it illegal for games with violent content to be sold to anyone under 18, and for offending retailers to face prosecution .
Under US law, that would separate violent games from music, movies and literature - and put them in the same category as pornography. The games industry feared that the bill could leave certain games left unstocked by mainstream retailers, and require developers to release different edits of their software to suit each US State.
After the Supreme Court quashed the bill last week, Stewart went a little on the offensive - or at least, targeted what he saw as a wisp of hypocrisy.
Check out the clip below - but be warned: As the comic himself points out, there's some Mortal Kombat footage in there that ain't for kids.

I hope one of you can identify this weed. I don't remember seeing it in this spot last year.
The plant is shrublike, with long arcing woody stems, about 5 to 6 feet tall. The leaflets are in groups of five, and the "flowers" are little balls of stars. The stems have thorns which are more noticeable on the younger green stems. Older stems are woody looking. Any ideas? I would love to know what this is before I decide whether or not to remove it. |
Image link: five leaves, thorns, arcing stem (pic) (52 k)
Follow-Up Postings:
I believe that is a fiveleaf aralia! I have the same woody shrub/tree and went thru numerous books to identify it. (So, that said, there is a small possibility I am wrong.) I stumbled upon this on my small but semi wooded property and fell in love instantly. Last year, I took new, green cuttings and propigated four more with little effort. They seem to be very vigorous, and just this week I took several more cuttings. I don't know the size you have now, but the reference I have used claims they can be pruned for a more upright appearance. I myself prefer the arching effect. The established tree I have is in almost complete shade and does beautifully. If you would like more info, I could copy the pages from my book(Manual of Woody Landscape Plants) and send it to you,. I think they are beautiful! |
Hey Kathleen, I was just wondering if you could tell me more about where you found this shrub (Acanthopanax sieboldianus ). I also live and work in KY and have just this past week discovered this plant growing in two natural areas (Cumberland Falls and Pine Mountain State Park). Could you tell me more about where you found your shrub? County? |

Bird's Nest Spruce (Picea Abies "Nidiformis") - a slow growing flat topped dwarf well suited to rock gardens and hardiness zones 3-8. Be a nice compliment to the ball shaped shrub and the creeper. Mine seems to "expand" maybe a scant inch per year so one would never block your view out over the garden. It's a charming conifer. Is the old juniper stump going to be ground/dug out? |
yes it will and thanks for the advice... |
