Today I received these from Forest Farm in very good condition:
1 Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) 1 Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) 1 Gray Birch (Betula populifolia) 1 Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) I potted each one in about 12 inch wide pots Because they are Not dormant and they have leafed out and we are currently in a unusual extreme drought, also because I think they would adjust better to our soil if I plant them in the ground a little later after they grow a larger root system in the pots. I'm reading conflicting information on the internet and I want everybody else's idea of how well the Coast Redwood and Giant Sequoia will do here in the Southeast. Our climate is humid subtropical which mainly has cool rainy winters (average winter lows: 30F, extreme low: 0F) And Humid, pretty hot, scattered showery summers (Average summer highs: 90F, extreme high: 100F) (creek hollows are cooler). Some sites say the Redwood is not suited to the southeastern United States and some say they grow fine here.
What my current thinking is that the Giant Sequoia might be able to grow on the upland site as a yard tree OK, right? Because I've read they have some drought tolerance? And the Coast Redwoods would struggle on the upland because of occasional moisture stress but would do well in the moist lowland site in a deep hollow that is highly sheltered from wind, lightning, and extreme heat. Someday I would like to establish several Coast Redwoods and Giant Sequoias in the moist sheltered hollow so seeds can be produced since they are both dioecious (Having male and female flowers on separate trees). So if anybody has any ideas on what they can and can't withstand and/or growing conditions please let me know. (Also if anybody has info on how well Gray birch or Quaking Aspen does here let me know also).
Thanks very much. |

I'm in the PacNW and can only give you observations from these trees, planted December 2005 and since, in my yard. Coast redwoods are finicky. They burn easily in cold and heat. They are tempermental. They want to be misted and watered frequently but don't want to be standing in a pool. So far my best luck has been with tiny seedlings of aptos blue from forest farm. Sequoiadendrons -- less finicky but get winter burn in cold wind and temps and demand lots of water but not standing pools. They don't like heat above 80 degrees. Also like to be sprayed with water every morning early before the sun can burn them. Quaking Aspen -- the first year they sort of just sat here but this spring they're growing and happy. One interesting thing, last spring after they were planted that winter each aspen tree got one huge deep green leaf but all others were small. It was as if advertising what it was capable of. This spring all leaves medium and no huge leaf. Redwoods and sequoias don't like drought or heat and certainly when getting established demand a lot of coddling, misting, watering, monitoring, and praying. I've lost quite a few and it's very frustrating, especially since they're supposed to grow really well here. However, I'm seeing a lot of dead and dying sequoias while driving around Portland. And not many nurseries even bother carrying coast redwoods here since they just aren't doing well anymore. We've had a definite climate change ... more extremes and much longer hotter drier burny scorching relentless sun with no rain for months. |

Three years ago I bought ten giant sequoias seedlings and gave three of them to some friends. I planted them in very large planters and they did great that spring and even doubled in size. But then the summer came and all ten died. I've heard since that they don't do well in the deep south. I was living one mile from the beach and my friends were 20 miles inland. Biloxi area. Now I'm trying coastal redwoods. I've heard they have a chance here. |

Thanks everybody, I think when we buy more Coast Redwoods and Giant Sequoias to plant in our lowland sites, they should thrive. I'm planning on planting the Giant Sequoia in the yard or close to the Coast Redwood at the edge of the woods so they can receive extra soil moisture. |

I'm in northern GA and growing a quaking aspen. I would plant it asap. They don't do well in one gallon containers. Not to be rude but your climate sounds miserable. Normally it doesn't get into the 90's that often here, usually in Aug. Last year was an unusaly heat and drought wave but even still upper 90's and 100's were not common. And we don't get as humid as you for as long. We've been stuck in 20-30% relative humidity. I think those trees are going to struggle in extreme heat and humidity but please keep us all informed. Or at least me. I'd like to know how they do. |

I was thinking in the hollow area is should be almost like the CA home mountains with plenty of moisture from streams around ,rich soil, and in the hollow 80 to 85 is the max all summer and don't the trees normally live in humid summers with fog etc. in CA but just not the heat? |
- Posted by quirkyquercus Twilight (My Page) on Thu, May 31, 07 at 11:21
I suspect the humid coastal climates on the west coast are cooool. Go to wunderground.com and type in redwood in the search box. The nat'l park comes up. Then check the "weather history" for last july and august and you'll see it doesn't get out of the 50's. For other areas in CA where coast redwoods are grown, I suspect dry, low humidity and while there may be high- high temps, the night time lows are probably quite cool. This should be interesting to see. I tried a Douglas fir last year but it didn't make it. |

I'm just a beginner but I've already made big mistakes and I can tell you: an irrigation system is a must if you plant water-needing trees. Considering it takes 3 years to establish a tree in general, and then the weather is bonkers and there's drought which requires supplemental watering, it is more feasible financially to invest in a top-notch irrigation system when putting in landscaping than spending untold man-hours trying to coax these trees to survive for years. I tried to get an irrigation system but every plumber etc I called in said it was too difficult because there's a fire hydrant on the property, the codes have become too stringent blah blah blah -- I should have insisted. I mourn that I only have a bit of 1/4 acre but actually I can't keep up with what I have. Map out where you want to plant what and get that irrigation system installed! Redwoods and sequoias demand attention and water, just so, not too much or too little. |
Hi QQ, It does get hot in coastal Calif for a period in the late summer and early autumn when there is more of a trend towards hot, dry easterly winds ('Diablo winds', 'Santa Ana winds'), keeping the fog and cool weather offshore. When I was in Humboldt Redwoods SP in mid September, it was very hot (about 30° to 33°), with clear blue sky and no fog, and the ground was very dry. These hot dry conditions result in Coast Redwood being more drought and heat tolerant than one might expect from its cool conditions in the rest of the year. Of Sequoiadendron, one point not mentioned yet on this thread is its susceptibility to fungal diseases in the combination of heat and humidity in the southeastern US. It can cope with dry heat, and cool humidity, but not the combination of heat and humidity together. Unfortunately, I reckon Treeguy will run into this problem fairly soon in Alabama. Resin |

Ok, I did some searching and this is what I came up with on the Coast Redwoods: Redwood occurs in a maritime Mediterranean climate, where the winters are cool and rainy, and the summers are dry. The mean precipitation is 70 inches, with 90 percent falling between October and May. Annual precipitation ranges from 25 to over 100 inches and most rain falls in winter months. (I guess the trees in the area with less rain live by a creek) (Yearly rain amount here is about 50 to 55 inches). Conclusions on Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens): 1. Rain and/or streams here in the southeast summers make up for fog needed by the trees in the Dry summers of CA. 2. They do best in mild, humid climates that have summer temps between 60F and 80F but can take some rare 90s in the natural range. They have been known to take some 100s if the humidity is low and I assume if they have plenty of moisture. 3. Light is Full sun to dappled shade. 4. Redwood needs moist, well drained soil and it is a relatively drought-sensitive species that grows poor in heavy clay soil but grows good in deep, moist soils. It grows good in Loam and clay-loam soils with the potential for good moisture storage. Typical soils are Inceptisol and Ultisol soil orders. The common parent materials are greywacke sandstones, shales, and conglomerates. Also and the soils in such forested areas can be expected to have a pH of approximately 6.0 — 6.5. I'm going to look into Giant Sequoia later today this evening. |
Not sure how I missed this thread earlier . . . "What my current thinking is that the Giant Sequoia might be able to grow on the upland site as a yard tree OK, right? Because I've read they have some drought tolerance? And the Coast Redwoods would struggle on the upland because of occasional moisture stress but would do well in the moist lowland site in a deep hollow that is highly sheltered from wind, lightning, and extreme heat." Yes, I'd agree with that, though whether the conditions will differ from the regional general conditions enough to allow them to survive, is not certain. For Giant Sequoia, heat/humidity is as commented above the killer, while for Coast Redwood, the main risk will be severe winters; it is generally very marginal in zone 7, suffering bad frost burn below about -15 to -20°C, and killed below about -20 to -23°C.

I started to explain how a warm humid night with heavily irragated plant in a protected shady spot could have problems with diseases just like with the turfgrass and birches I experiment with but I deleted it because I figured the poster already was well aware of this based on his other posts that have demonstrated he knows a thing or two about arboriculture. I have a new policy and that's I plant the tree (or whatever) out in full sun in the compacted ground and water it a few times and either it lives or it doesn't. If it lives then hooray it's wonderful and if it dies then it sucks and whatever climate the tree came from can keep it. Isn't that what we're trying to prove??? that something can grow here with only a reasonable amount of maintenance equivalent to that required by proven species? If they can get a Ginkgo Biloba to grow at Disney World in clay loam shipped in from Oregon while a full time employee fans the thing down all day in the summer then a fork lift hauls the tree into a freezer in January so it can get its chilling requirement then that doesn't exactly count. That's cheating in fact. Plant the tree in the best spot you can to give it a fighting chance but catering to it's every whim and trying to simulate the Redwood National Forest is not demonstrating something will grow in the SE, it's suspended animation. |
"I have a new policy and that's I plant the tree (or whatever) out in full sun in the compacted ground and water it a few times and either it lives or it doesn't" In that case we'd all be restricting ourselves to Alnus cordata ;-) Resin |

Thanks for the help everybody. Quirkyquercus, why do Quaking Aspens not like growing in pots? Is it because of fast root growth? Here is what I have found on the Giant sequoia: Giant sequoia is found in a humid climate characterized by dry summers. Mean annual precipitation varies from 35 to 55 inches. Most precipitation comes in the form of snow between October and Conclusions on Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum): 1. Rain and/or streams here in the southeast winters make up for snowfall needed by the trees in of CA and moist ground or streams here during the summer mimic the natural areas in CA. 2. They do best in mild or warm climates that have summer temps between 75F and 85F but can take some unusual 90s in the natural range. I assume they do Not do good in high humidity combined with heat just like the Coast Redwood but could possibly handle it a little better maybe (correct me if I'm wrong)? 3. Light is Full sun to dappled shade. Seedlings and young saplings do best in partial shade. 4. They do best in a moderately moist fertile, deep, well drained sandy loam soils but they are also found associated with a variety of different soils. They seem to have a little more drought tolerance than Coast Redwood but would still need good moisture most of the time. Sometime vigorous individuals do grow in shallow and rocky soils when underground water is available. A large majority of giant sequoia groves are on granitic-based residual and alluvial soils. Some groves are on glacial outwash from granite. Other common parent materials include schistose, dioritic and andesitic rocks. |

Both these burn in hot sun and cold temps and wind. When young they both need dappled shade, probably for the 1st 20 years. I live near their natural climate and it's very hard to get them to survive here. Especially the coast redwoods -- very finicky. The one I have that has finally "taken" is watered and misted DAILY and is mulched with primo worm castings, and he goes through periods frequently that are alarming but has pulled through so far. As sheltered, cool, even and moist as you can get would be wise. |
- Posted by quirkyquercus Twilight (My Page) on Fri, Jun 1, 07 at 7:57
Treeguy123.... Yes that is the reason Resin.... I was perhaps exaggerating a little but I think you catch my drift. |
Such a shame that these wonderful trees are so tricky to grow outside of their small native range. Good luck! |
There are Redwoods growing all over Cal. Every little town I passed thru 2 weeks ago had them planted there. Visalia, Sacramento, Mariposa, Tulare, NAPA valley, etc. I had the impression that the redwood was a tougher tree than the Sequoia as it was planted and growing in so many different places in Cal. Will be interesting to see how your trees turn out. My bet will be on the redwood to succeed over the sequoia. Just thankful their cousin, the bald cypress does well in Tx. |

The climatic parameters of a species' native range tell us something about the species' tolerances, but nothing about its potential in other zones. That is basically something to be determined by test plantings. Of course I don't mean a tropical species is likely to survive in permafrost country -- but within reasonable limits. As for redwood and giant sequoia -- Placerville, where I live in California gets an average of 39 inches of precip a year, virtually none of it from snow and none between June and September. Summers almost always have a spate of days with temps exceeding 90 F. Winters always have frost, sometimes down to 25 F. In general this is a reasonably mild Mediterranean foothill climate. Both species are commonly planted here, and both have reached sizes of about 60 in. dbh and over 100 ft tall. So giant sequoia doesn't need a cold snowy climate, nor redwood a moist one, at least not for survival of planted trees. The climatic parameters of their native ranges may be more determined by their reproductive-system needs in the context of their native ecosystems than by brute survival capabilities of established trees. Thus it is a fallacy to think you can reliably predict a species' performance in a climate that differs from its home range in the absence of empirical evidence. |
Treeguy123, Based on experience with the Coast Redwood and Giant Sequoia in GA, the redwood does great. Mine grows 2-3 feet per year. I watered it the first couple of years, but it appears to be fairly drought tolerant now. Giant Sequoia - probably won't make it through the summer. Somebody mentioned on a thread about a year ago that the high night time temperatures in summer in the Southeast do it in. |

I found this posting on a different thread: eric_9b z9b Orlando (My Page) on Wed, Jan 10, 07 at 8:34 There is a Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Hazel Smith' growing in the US National Arboretum. It is near the Metasequoia grove and about 30' tall. I don't remember seeing a Sequoia sempervirens there. Here at Leu Gardens in Orlando,FL we have a Sequoia sempervirens 'Majestic Beauty' growing well. We have tried S. giganteum and several cultivars but none have survived. |

I have a Giant Sequoia 'Glaucum' from Wayside Gardens. I bought and planted 2 in April 1998. One struggled, and I took it out. The other one is around 10 feet tall now, it was 2.5 feet tall when I planted it. It has survived extreme cold, our October Surprise storm and setting out new growth. It appears healthy. I am curious of what fertilizer is best for Giant Sequoias? There is a "mature" sequoia gigantium my town of Hamburg, NY that is approximately 70 - 80 feet tall. I am planning to stop sometime and ask the owners about the history of this tree. |
"I am curious of what fertilizer is best for Giant Sequoias?" By and large, they don't need any, unless a soil test shows a very severe deficiency in anything. Resin |
Giant sequoias do not do well when their environment changes. Expect the needles to brown out and appear dead. Take care of the tree as if still alive and it may start growing new needles the next year close to the trunk of the tree and near the base of some of the larger branches. If you grow them from seed in their permanent location they will do much better, even in full sun or partial shade. I dont know why this is but the slightest changes, if not very gradual, puts a great deal of sress on the Giant Sequoia. |
Many plant species can and have been grown well outside of the parameters implied by climate conditions in their native ranges. One point to keep in mind is that in most (all?) instances the wild population of a plant is growing where it has been able to survive for a very long time. We have cultivated coast redwoods here in western Washington over 100' tall. However, in the 1990 winter there was a general browning of redwood trees, showing that it is too cold up here for them to live for thousands of years. On the outer coast Sitka spruce replaces coast redwood north of California as the signature tree. |
Interesting to add to that, of the two in Britain, Sequoiadendron grows the larger (to 54m vs 48m) and is more tolerant of wind burn), but Sequoia sempervirens is the one where natural regeneration by seed has been observed the more often (I'm not actually aware of any cases of Sequoiadendron regeneration here) Resin |

About the pots, they can be problamatic with soil compaction, drainage, and heating/cooling issues. Regular dirt or top soil turns gets real hard in pots around here so I have to use potting soil which is an odd mix compared to dirt in the yard. Drainage is kinda self explanitory. No natural moisture, no water table, 100% dependant on guessing when it needs watered. In the sun dark and even light colored pots get warm and so does the soil in them. My guess is some trees care more about warm roots than others. Same for short cold snaps. While the ground is slower to change temps with every passing storm. I've read this can be fixed by partially burying the pots. |
I would not have bumped an old thread myself, but while it's up, I should correct an inadequacy of it. Nobody mentions (that I noticed) there are large old Sequoia semprevirens in Abbeville, SC, Williamsburg, VA, and Swarthmore, PA. BBoy may well have observed some browning in the PNW freeze of 1990, where temperatures were generally above 0F, but I saw the 2 Williamsburg trees after 0F in 1994 and there was absolutely no evidence of injury. Those trees were planted in 1955 or so. The greatest threat to them in the SE, provided they have a soil environment that suits them, is the high winds and lightning that they do not experience in their native habitat. In fact a large section of one of the Williamsburg trees fell in hurricane Isabel in 2003 but before that the trees were almost 100' tall. Don't plant one next to your house! The Swarthmore tree must be a particularly hardy clone, hopefully someone will market it. I have reason to believe that tree might have been planted as early as the 1930s and would have withstood a number of excursions well below 0F. Camellia Forest had a plant of this clone but lost it in the drought of 2007 when water resources were very scarce and had to be allocated to saving the nursery stock. (they had to use water from a mineral rich pond and all their camellias have iridescent leaves as a result) I'm not sure theirs ever got big enough to take cuttings from it, because I don't remember seeing it in any of their catalogs. |

They are both used a bit for landscaping in Canberra, but the climate there is a bit dry, especially for Sequoiadendron. They do OK if carefully situated, but don't like hot, dry periods. |

There are Giant Sequoias growing all over the planet in all kinds of climates. From what I have gathered they can be extremely drought intolerant for the first five to ten years, depending on soil and drainage. The other hazard that seems persistant is fungus for trees below 200 meters in altitude. Check out a pair of thriving Giant Sequoia trees in Watkinsville, Georgia (east of Atlanta / South of Athens). http://www.giant-sequoia.com/gallery/usa/georgia/ |

Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the country. With majestic peaks in every direction, wildlife roaming the valleys and some of the most incredible outdoor adventures on the planet, it is no wonder more than three million people flock to the park each year.
Within the boundaries of Rocky Mountain National Park, more than 100 peaks rise above 11,000 feet in altitude, including Longs Peak at 14,259 feet. These amazing mountains cradle the Estes Valley, providing residents and guests with incredible beauty and inspiration. Many of the taller peaks make up the Continental Divide, where snowmelt runs either west to the Pacific Ocean or east to the Atlantic. The park's vistas are accessible by horseback, on foot, or by car - the most notable vehicle route being Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuously paved highway in North America. No matter your level of interest, adventure awaits you while viewing, exploring and appreciating this breathtaking collection of mountains.
While it is possible to travel through Rocky Mountain National Park and not catch sight of any wildlife, we venture to say that is an unlikely experience. From everyday sightings of chipmunks and mule deer to the moving experience of viewing elk in rut (the mating season), the animals in the park let you know that you are part of something truly wild. Some of these critters are harder to spot than others - they might camouflage themselves in the trees or hide in the underbrush - but look closely and you may have an encounter unlike any other.
The outdoor adventurer remains busy throughout the year in Rocky Mountain National Park. Open 365 days a year, there are activities and sports throughout the summer/fall and winter/spring seasons. Whether looking for a new route to an adrenaline rush, or simply enjoying a favorite pastime, Rocky Mountain National Park's unique and varied landscapes offer something fun.
In addition to its natural wonders, Rocky Mountain National Park provides services and amenities to make your experience special and stress-free. Look through the visitor information and stop by a visitor center to gather all the tidbits you need to know, such as where you're going, what to do and how to prepare.

very tired apartments
my friend recommened it for my first time in benidorm it was great value for the money i would stay there again
little bit noisey where our room was not unbearable but i did ask for a low level room so got what i requested we was on the first floor
As a group of friends we have stayed at the Vistamar several times and not once have we been let down. Value for money, clean rooms and excellent amenities nearby (Titanic bar for good food).
good location clean and value for money bars and restaurants all nearby and supermarket on doorstep not over priced would use apartments again but not in high season as they attract a lot of younger people then
The location was brill,very friendly staff.
Our room wasn't very good I booked 2 rooms and the other room was fine,but my room had defective light which we reported and the cupboard door was rotten and dropped off,the 2 of us who were in the beds both had bug bites over our legs
walking distance for every thing we need. great for the price we paid
the price of spirit`s at the bar.
A fair distance and quite a few steps involved getting to the pool area - I am disabled and found it just too far away from the actual building otherwise an excellent stay .
Not much balcony was big
Not very clean If you wanted shower you had to wait at least an hour for warm water again after sombody had been in To much noise Pool was a fair walk from apartmemts not how it looks on website
very noisy with stag and hen nights, not a place for a family hoiday.
Apartment was clean and staff helpful, location good.
Reception staff were very helpful. Asked for an early morning call which they did (came all the way up to our room and rang the bell). Have stayed in 4-star hotels where we requested this and they couldn't be bothered. I didn't expect a lot because it was reasonably priced but was pleasantly surprised. If people want more luxurious accommodation then you have to be prepared to pay the price.
Too far back for us old pensioners!
Apartment was in a really good location not too far away from the main clubs n bars or the beach. Good customer service really friendly and also sent out some of my personal belongings i had left there within 5 working days.
The pool area was fine just could do with maybe a bar or something to get drinks or snacks from rather than walking back through the hotel or outside. And air con in are rooms found it got really hot of a nighttime when getting ready.
Good welsh bar next door serving breakfast from 8.15
In season expensive for very basic accommodation. Very noisy at night lasting till 4.30am.
car park under apartment good size pool super market next door bar-food 2mins away plenty of room for 4 people [well us anyway] away from the noisey clubs when you get to bed,although had a great time in the club bars
long treck to the beach .. all up hill
good location, good kitchen facilities, good size room for 4, great balcony
bathroom shower wasnt great, not enough hot water for 4 showers, nowhere to get showered as night flight and had to be out by 10am, couldnt get a late check out either. had to leave 50euros per person for deposit then had to wait half an hour after check out to get it back!
Excellent location close to bars etc. We had a top floor apartment with great views.
Expect other guests to be lively, especially groups.
Basic but spacious and clean apartments.
Would of preferred clean towels more often.every other day would of been ample
Friendly and helpful staff, clean pool and excellent location. I have stayed here before and I am likely to stay here again if I choose to visit Benidrom again.

Updated 12/04/2013
David and Catherine Gardner, expat Scots, have created this lively, brightly colored restaurant down the street from the church of Santa Croce. From its humble beginnings as a pizzeria, it has evolved into something more. It's a happy thing that pizza is still on the menu, but now it shares billing with sophisticated primi and secondi. The menu changes monthly, and has such treats as filetto di manzo alla Bernaise (filet mignon with light béarnaise sauce). Baldovino
also serves pasta dishes and grilled meat until the wee hours.

I'll be in NY in June, arriving on the morning of the 5th, spending one night in the city, and then going to visit the wife's fam in the Newburgh and Mahopac areas, I think staying in the Newburgh area. I'm actually looking for a place to go watch the UK/USA World Cup game on June 12th that is English-friendly if anyone has any suggestions. I'm curious what brew-pubs of interest there may be in any of the area's I'll be staying, and of course if anyone would like to come join me for a drink at one of them, that'd be cool too
Well I live in the area and there isn't much along the way of brew puns here two of the top of my head are Hyde park brewery nothing spectacular or the Gilded Otter in New Paltz good beers meh food . There are several sports bars but I don't know how popular Soccer will be. PM me we can get together for a cold one at my place just on the other side of the river from Newburgh
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'- Ronald Reagan
Where is their farm ?
If you're willing to drive a bit, I've got a Buffalo Wild Wings in West Nyack at the Palisades mall. We'll be opening at 9am for World Cup games and while we mostly sell BMC, I've got 6 NY craft beers on tap you may not have seen before.
I am sure your Aunt will tell you too but Front Street in Newburgh is great with several good places to eat . I like the Havana 59 nice open patio with outdoor bar and they have motorcycle parking which is always a plus.

Confess! Whats the craziest force of habit you've done in the "Real World" - page 11

1Sep 4, '10 by robby5313Quote from aeonflux40I admire veins in public
I have signed RN after my name many times [possibly bc of the fact that I am so proud of my job]
I critique CPR I see on TV/in movies [has anyone seen "Misery"?]
While watching an old South Park episode recently, the doctor said he needed sodium pentathol and potassium chloride-2 ingredients used during lethal injection. I'm sure they meant to be silly, but I still pointed this out to my friends.
When asking my friends for something urgent, I say "STAT" instead of ASAP
Also, while watching TV/movies, when they mention a particular drug, I say out loud, "Oh, that's used for blah blah blah." which can really annoy some ppl.
I always critique medical shows and it drives my husband crazy! I also "diagnose" people in the store! (although not to them!)twinkletoes53 likes this. -

I hear beeps in the night and wake up looking for the IV pump
My Dad told me to not talk during HOUSE today b/c I was trying to diagnose the prob with House & team. So I stopped verbalizing it & just had the conversation with them in my head.
I'm sure House & Co could have benefited from my input! -

I always ask the nurses to warm my right arm before they stick me or draw lab., because my veins collapse easily. Many of them refuse to do this simple thing. I wonder why? Warming vasodilates veins. I always warm the extremity I'm going to stick prior to starting a difficult IV.twinkletoes53 likes this. -

The pen light in my purse is handy for finding loose change.
I don't see what's wrong with talking about BM's over dinner..

Fans would pay good money just to see one of the many artists that took the stage during Saturday night's (Nov. 17) Jimi Hendrix tribute concert at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Wash. Amongst the dozen or so guitarists, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready left the biggest impression, according to reviews and confirmed in the below video of him playing 'Voodoo Child' with former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan.
The Isle of Wight festival is well on its way to being one of the concert events of 2012, with Pearl Jam following Tom Petty in delivering a memorable set.
Tom Petty and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder have been following each other around Europe, so they decided to team up on Sunday night in Amsterdam. After headlining separate sets at the isle of Wight Festival, the pair ended up on the same stage and sang two Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers hits together.
By the end of next week, Pink Floyd fans will really be 'Comfortably Numb.'
From Sept. 26-30, Jimmy Fallon will pay tribute to the legendary British band on his NBC show. Among those scheduled to drop by are Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and Dierks Bentley, plus Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason.
Pearl Jam opened its extensive video vaults for 'Pearl Jam Twenty,' and the band has done the same with its audio collection for the documentary's soundtrack.
Not only will it contain 14 concert, TV and radio performances that are connected with the forthcoming film, the 'Pearl Jam Twenty' soundtrack also comes with a second disc of demos and other live recordings that covers PJ's two decade history.
Pearl Jam front-man Eddie Vedder will release a new album consisting entirely of tunes played on the ukulele later this year, music blogs report, and the first song is out today.
It's a fresh recording of Vedder's "LongingTo Belong," which the singer has played at solo shows throughout the last couple of years. Listen to the new recording after the jump.
Twenty years ago, a band called Pearl Jam released its first album, Ten.

It's just a bit more than a week until the "official" day of the Woodward Dream Cruise on Saturday, Aug. 16. The rumble of engines, squeal of tires and cheers of car fans already echo around Woodward Avenue as enthusiasts "pregame," you could say, for the big event.
The southwest corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road is Mopar or No Car Central in the days leading up to the Dream Cruise. With the Dodge brand celebrating its 100th anniversary this year,...

Cool cars lead to a hot jobby Dale Jewett

On a warm week day in early June, the minds of middle and high school students tend to be fixed on the countdown to the start of summer vacation, not their future careers. But fill a school parking lot with more than two dozen brightly colored cars, trucks and concept vehicles and it plants seeds that may sprout years later. That's the fuel for the "Where Innovation Meets Design" car show at the Utica Community Schools district in Southeast Michigan, which is now in its ninth year. Chrysler Group has... |

text: I have been committed to IP since August 1. I don't cheat, I eat everything I am supposed to, and I walk several times each week. Since November, my weight loss has come to a painfully slow halt. For the first 4 months, I was averaging over 3.5lbs each week. Since November, my average loss has fallen to about 1lb per week. I am devastated! Anyone else in this boat? Any suggestions on how to get things moving again? Thanks!
