Why Mitt Romney is losingBy Reihan Salam, CNN ContributorUpdated 11:22 AM ET, Fri August 10, 2012Mitt Romney visits a cornfield in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday as his campaign struggles to gain momentum..Story highlightsReihan Salam: The scars of the GOP primaries are dragging Mitt Romney's candidacy downHe says Romney moved to the right to win over conservatives, now lacks centrist appealA variety of innovative ideas could have broadened his appeal, Salam writesSalam: Taking on big banks and cutting energy subsidies would be smart policies for RomneyMitt Romney spent weeks battling Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich for the Republican presidential nomination, and he faced blistering attacks from Rick Perry and other GOP rivals along the way. And now he is paying the price. CNN Poll: Obama holds 7-point lead over RomneyRomney's failure to surpass Barack Obama this summer stems in no small part from his reluctance to make any bold moves on policy, and this reluctance is a direct product of the beating he's taken from conservative critics for much of the last year. The basic rap on Romney -- who represented, let us not forget, the conservative alternative to John McCain during the 2008 race for the Republican presidential nomination -- was that he wasn't sufficiently conservative. To reassure conservative primary voters, Romney embraced positions on a wide range of issues, from immigration to taxes, that are more popular among reliable Republicans than among swing voters. Opinion: Reid's Romney smears an insult to votersAs the political analyst Sean Trende, author of "The Lost Majority," has argued, the central dilemma facing the Romney campaign is that it has essentially secured all of the low-to-medium hanging fruit for a Republican presidential candidate by condemning Obama's economic record. Yet this hasn't been enough to give Romney a lead over the incumbent president. Reihan SalamIndeed, there is at least some reason to believe that the Romney campaign is losing ground. This strongly suggests that the GOP needs a more positive message with crossover appeal. The trouble, of course, is that Romney's efforts to inoculate himself against charges of squishiness have made it very difficult for him to pivot to the center. What might a more daring Romney campaign have looked like? A more populist Romney campaign would spend time and money bashing the big banks. While Romney has called for repealing the Dodd-Frank Act, the centerpiece of Obama's fitful efforts to reform Wall Street, he hasn't provided much in the way of detail regarding how he'd address the too-big-to-fail problem. Given that anger against taxpayer-funded bank bailouts helped fuel the rise of the tea party movement, and in turn the Republican congressional victories of 2010, this constitutes a serious strategic mistake.

This is the kind of argument that might resonate among voters reconsidering their 2008 vote for Barack Obama. Yet this argument would need to be connected to a clear policy narrative about what a Republican president would do to take on the power of the big banks. A number of conservative and libertarian thinkers -- including James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute; Thomas Hoenig, former Fed governor and FDIC director; and Luigi Zingales of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business -- have called for breaking them up by implementing a modernized version of the Glass-Steagall Act, the Depression-era law that created a strict wall of separation between commercial and investment banking. Sebastian Mallaby of the Council of Foreign Relations, a market-friendly centrist perhaps best known for his exhaustive history of the hedge fund industry, "More Money Than God," has even argued that investors might welcome a bank break-up. Opinion: Will Obamacare raise the price of your pizza?Leaving aside the substantive merits of this and other proposals designed to curb the too-big-to-fail phenomenon, this is an accessible idea that would help Romney play against type. So it has come as a disappointment to many on the right that the Romney campaign has been dismissive of the idea. This could reflect a conviction on the part of the candidate that Wall Street is not in need of a radical overhaul. Or, more cynically, the Romney campaign might be reluctant to alienate influential Republican donors in the financial services industry. Yet the decision to tread lightly on financial malfeasance might cost Romney the election.Romney's evolution on tax policy is also telling.During the 1996 New Hampshire GOP primary, Romney, a private citizen at the time, paid for an advertisement criticizing Steve Forbes' signature flat tax on the grounds that it was a giveaway to the ultra-rich. And his original 2012 tax proposal was a fairly modest one, which called for extending the Bush-era tax cuts while also eliminating taxes on capital gains, dividends and interest for married couples earning less than $200,000.The idea was that this would be a prelude to a larger tax code overhaul. But when Romney feared that Rick Santorum might defeat him in Michigan's crucial Republican primary, he released a far more ambitious, and far more expensive, tax cut proposal that is being criticized as pie-in-the-sky. Rather than campaign on a deep tax cut that would benefit high-earners, the Romney campaign might have instead championed a revenue-neutral tax reform that cut taxes dramatically on families with children while effectively raising them on childless high-earners. In effect, this would recognize that parents are making a significant investment in America's economic future and that this investment should be treated favorably. This idea has been championed by conservative policy entrepreneurs such as Ramesh Ponnuru of National Review and Robert Stein, a veteran of George W. Bush's Treasury Department, yet it has met with fierce resistance from The Wall Street Journal editorial board, which sees it as an unjustifiable tax giveaway that is an unhelpful distraction from the need to cut marginal tax rates. In choosing to embrace the Journal's view, Romney may have sacrificed an opportunity to connect with cash-strapped middle class parents, including many independents and Democrats. Recently, Eli Lehrer of the pro-market R Street Institute made another suggestion: Instead of simply attacking federal loan guarantees for clean-tech firms such as Solyndra, the federal government should get out of the business of subsidizing the energy sector entirely. Clean-tech subsidies would go, but so would subsidies in the tax code that benefit the oil and gas industries. It is an idea that could in theory appeal to environmentalists, and it would demonstrate that Romney's criticisms of Solyndra aren't just political posturing. Right now, the Romney campaign seems to believe that it can defeat Obama by running a conventional and cautious campaign. But as the weeks go by and the president's lead remains frozen in place, this is starting to look like a bad bet.

Has anyone heard any mini-camp reports about him? I've heard about Sanders, but nothing about G Scott. Is he going to be a player?
Didn't hear much except he is being looked at closely..two years two injuries is NOT good news..I think he's being looked at to be part of the safety mix..Heard better things on Sanders...
I watched Gus Scott play against PK Sam in the Gators/Fsu game, and he was in on every play and easily the most active guy on the field. He hit hard, got his hands on balls, forced fumbles. I was so pumped about him two years ago. If this guy ever overcomes injury and actually gets up to speed, he could be a playa, I still haven't totally written him off because if he clings on as a back-up and gets back in shape, he might be an unsung veteran who starts later on down the road. Or he'll get cut in training camp.....
Only thing I remember reading is that he was, at some point, coming in as the nickel CB, which surprised me a little.
Accoring to KC Joyner, Scott was picked on frequently and allowed too many deep passes during his college days in Florida. With the Pats, he looked Dexter Reid awful and it seemed everytime he tried to make a tacke, he'd limp off the field. I'm guessing he's going to be cut this summer.
Scott looked a lot better than Reid .. considering Reid got playing time with Rodney and SCott didnt..preseason he was good..then he got pushed into starting role with Eugene..and no1 did well till Hawkins got some leadership
I had been interested to see how he would do. As I recall, there were a bunch of safeties still on the board who ranked higher by the amorphous "consensus." So I thought this would be a useful test case of either a player who fit particularly well in BB's system, or a case of BB evaluating better than others, or a case of a BB overreach.
He also completely blew the play on the winning Touchdown PK caught, but yes overall he was a very underrated college player IMO.
He's been injured most of the time here. Rodney's not getting any younger, no matter how well he recovers. The Pats need safeties for the future and I don't see why they wouldn't want to develop Scott and Sanders. I'm sure they'll give them every opportunity to show what they've got.
Sanders has had a full season and was a reasonable nickel back last year, beating out Poteat. bb likes to use backup safeties as nickels. Sanders was a solid pick as is part of the future. Guss Scott has shown flashes of good play, but mostly has been injured. He will need win a position on special teams, for which he is well-qualified. He has Jones and Mitchell ahead of him. He also could beat out Hawkins as the primary backup safety, but I doubt it. He also could be the #11 db beating out one of the linebackers special teamers. Note that I expect to keep six safeties and four corners.
I didn't think that Gus Scott rolled over to allow a 60 yard completion to Pk Sam. He came over and got his hands on the ball and almost forced the ball out, and he was not the primary cover guy on that play, I think he was simply coming in from deep safety and the cornerback totally lost coverage. He came as close as possible to grabbing out the ball without actually succeeding. I didn't rewatch the play or anything, and that is the only time I saw him play. My overall impression was that he was the most active defender in the game, and that he couldn't save the corner's blown coverage. I could be wrong, and I don't really care if he gets cut or not.

Hi guys, Sorry for the high traffic caused by the automated messages. They were supposed to stay enabled just for a couple of days, but I suddenly had to become AFK and forgot to disable them :/. I hope to get the new script working fine (it still needs some work on the update-* rules) on Sat/Sun, when this exceptionally busy week ends :). I'll then disable the debug messages and post them only on failures. Anyway, feel free to change the script if necessary (e.g. add/remove debug post recipients).

friendly | naive | idealistic | eager to please | prone to early burnouts | follower | gullible | emotional | impressionable | sensitive | devoted | self-conscious | avoids social conflict | lacks initiative
Madoka has always been a friendly person who sees life through rose-coloured glasses, making him a naive, idealistic person. He tends to get along with people easily as he prefers to accommodate to other people's needs before his own. He is a people pleaser, and puts 100% into any tasks entrusted to him by others - however this means he is prone to early burn outs as he isn't good at pacing himself. He works best when given instructions, which makes him much more of a follower rather than a leader, also meaning he tends to rely heavily on others. He has a lack of self-control, and is easy to fool as he tends to be forgetful.
Madoka is a rather emotional, impressionable and empathetic boy. He gets attached easily, is sensitive and is an over-thinker; however because he has an active mind, he remembers (and cares for) small details quite easily. He takes promises very seriously, and is afraid of hurting people, especially those he is closest to. He is faithful to a fault, and devoted to his friends and his pursuits. He is self-conscious, quick to blame himself before others, and gets depressed and lonely easily because of this. He also tends to avoid social confrontations until the last possible minute, and will rarely be seen jumping into the thick of social conflicts. As much as he hates it, he is a coward when it comes to his personal relationships, and thus lacks initiative.
✔ video games
✔BL shhhhhh
✔ competing/working in teams
✔ sweet pastries, seafood, chocolate milk, M&Ms, any bento boxes made for him, salty snacks
✔ visiting people's homes
✔ clothes with animal ear hoods
✔ vending machines
✔ snow
✔ texting his friends
✔ fortune telling
✔ small animals
✔ Minoru, Michi & Mamoru
✗ pork (it makes him feel sick)
✗ tight clothing
✗ closed in spaces
✗ alarm clocks
✗ gore and horror (he is particularly squeamish when it comes to eye horror)
✗ people touching his ears
✗ having to lie/hide things
✗ his sisters' snooping habits
✗ social conflict/fights
✗ waiting for new releases
Madoka was born into an ordinary family, and lives with his mother, father and twin sisters who are in elementary school. It's safe to say his early school life was extra ordinary, and it passed by without much occurrence. As he grew, he passed his time with art clubs and the like, only joining because his friends did, and it was only later that he realised he lacked a certain passion that everyone else had.
It was when he entered junior high that he met Minoru, and the two became fast friends. It was he who introduced Madoka to volleyball, and much like before, he entered the school's volleyball program with his friend, keen to have fun above all else. He ended up taking the sport less seriously than others, and he enjoyed it because he made several friends with whom he became very close.
Towards the end of junior high, Madoka came to the realisation that he and his friends would all be attending different high schools, meaning their group would be split until the end of high school. This naturally devastated Madoka, who had found joy in playing volleyball with his friends. Hence he and his friends made a promise to play volleyball even if they were on different teams, so they could meet on the court once more.
✩ He takes volleyball much more seriously now that he is in high school, and trains more often than he used to. Due to his lack of training previously, he lacks strength and stamina in particular.
✩ Likes solving disputes with rock-paper-scissors. Disclaimer; he always uses scissors.
✩ Has a pet hamster named Donut (Donatsu).
✩ Prefers to buy clothes a few sizes bigger than he actually needs.
✩ Wants to learn English fluently, but is terrible at it.
✩ His friendship bracelet was made by Michi. It has a purple band and blue flower beads (he'll specifically say they are forget-me-nots).
✩ He has developed several nervous habits which include - yet are not limited to - biting his nails, biting his lips and plucking his eyelashes.
✩ Tends to stay up very late. Usually not studying.
✩ Has a bike but prefers to walk to school.

HYDE PARK—I was very glad to read that Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, at the opening session of the golden anniversary convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said that "prejudice remains, discrimination exists, but it is on its way out in New York State."
Then he proceeded to announce that he would ask the legislature for the same laws on housing on a statewide basis that now exist in New York City.
It is particularly good that the government has taken a forthright stand. Now I also hope we will have a law to prevent job discrimination. Far too often a Negro is the last to be hired and the first to be fired.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota has formally entered the race for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, and he is the first to do so.
Like other possible Democratic nominees, Senator Humphrey most probably is going to have a hard time to match the money that will be available to the Republican nominee. Actually, very little money will have to be spent by the Republicans in the preconvention campaign, since they have but two probable candidates, Vice-President Nixon and Governor Rockefeller.
The Republican nomination will certainly be arranged by the party solons after conference with these gentlemen, and there will be no need for entering primaries or spending any money at all. So, their money can be saved for the actual campaign and any Republican nominee will have all he needs.
On the Democratic side, there will undoubtedly be a number of nominees beforehand, so the calls for individual help will be many. Therefore, there will not be as much available after one man is nominated and the campaign begins against the Republican opponent.
I wish we would all give more thought to our method of financing political campaigns. I will concede that almost any change would be more important to the Democrats than to the Republicans, because the Democrats traditionally have less money to spend. But in the long run it would be an advantage to all.
Why not ask radio and television authorities to allot the same amount of time to each party without charge? Each party could then use that time in any way it chooses. Of course, the allocations of time would be comparable, so that the audiences would be as great for both parties.
And I think the taxpayers would ultimately benefit if out of their taxes the government gave each of the opposing parties similar sums to be used for travel and for literature or in any other way the parties decided was important for information and advertising. This would put our whole campaign on a higher basis. There would not be the usual mad scramble for money. A man could run on his merits and not because he could lay his hands on more money.
It would require careful planning and the value of volunteer work in campaigns would be enhanced. People who really cared to work for the candidate of their party could volunteer their services without remuneration, and this would put a contribution of this kind on a much higher plane.
I suppose writing about this hopefully is just a pipe dream, but I wish more people would think about it and try to make it come about.

We hear a lot about adult venues striving to make their environment more "kid-friendly"… but really, shouldn't kid-oriented spots return the favor by attempting to be more adult-friendly? Enough with Despicable Me, would it kill the pediatrician's office to air an episode of "Orange is the New Black" in the waiting room every once in a while? Clearly this evolution would take time… but the obvious, and quickest solution to this injustice would be to add an open bar to some of the most brutal wonderful kid-oriented venues. More

Think giving your kids taste of alcohol will lead to a more sensible approach to booze in their teen years? Think again. According to a new conducted by The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, teenagers who were allowed to sample their mom's gin and tonic as a kid actually ended up drinking more, not less. More

As much as I'm a huge fan of alcohol, I'm a huge practitioner of never, ever driving after I have consumed alcohol. I won't even look at a photograph of a car after I have had a drink. Drunk driving is stupid and awful and extremely dangerous and if there is one thing I can get all sanctimommy-d up about, it's drunk driving. Which brings us to the case of Cathy Sanchez, a 28-year-old mother of three who was recently busted in Minnesota for failing a series of sobriety tests and registered a .136 blood alcohol content during a Breathalyzer test, when cops noticed her driving erratically down highway 10 at two in the morning and pulled her over More

I can't handle walking down to the park in this heat and humidity and arriving all sweaty and soggy with my makeup running and my feet sore from sandals. Yeah, I could drive, but parking for these types of events is worse than Ikea on a Saturday afternoon. I hate sitting outside, unless I'm in close proximity to air conditioning or a cute little table where I can order refreshing alcoholic beverages and stay for a limited amount of time.

A week ago, we brought word that Telltale Games, the folks behind Sam & Max, were looking for a Xbox 360 programmer for an unnamed project. Well, the position is still up in the air and what's more, they're talking about it.
Eurogamer caught up with Telltale to ask about the ominous job listing and while they don't come right out and spill the beans (naturally), they do point out that it has to do with episodic content and Xbox Live Arcade.
Aside from us clawing at our keyboards and screaming like cheerleaders when it comes to Sam & Max, this raises a few questions concerning Xbox Live Arcade. The main one being, Is episodic content even possible in its current state? If Microsoft is just getting by with the skin of their teeth every release, could ongoing content really be delivered in a timely manner?

Getting a ficus elastica to produce arial roots?
I heard somewhere that in high humidity conditions ficus elastica produces arial roots.
Could this be stimulated? If I where to attach a wet sponge around the bottom 2" of the ficus' trunk would this produce arial roots?
High humidity, warmth, adequate fertility, and some age on the plant will stimulate aerial roots to form on many Ficus species. I try to keep humidity in my grow area between 55-60%, and that's not enough.
Try a search using the search words bonsai ficus stimulate aerial roots and you'll probably come up with a number of innovative ideas from bonsai growers enamoured of prop roots.
A lot of Ficus produce aerial roots but mostly it's from branches. Will also happen from a significantly leaning trunk. Vertical trunks don't seem to do it much. But they require high humidity and warmth. A plant growing poorly will be encouraged to develop aerial roots, as a supplemental or alternative nutrient supply. I have a lot of Ficus with aerial roots, but they're full sized trees. They really look great, but some visitors only see them as problems. A friend plaited some aerial roots like hair. and as they grew they retained the pattern. Today they're really large. Totally different scale to what you're wanting, but here's some photos.
i had to bag ficus salicifolia and put it on a water wick elevated over a tub of water, since i was away for over 3 weeks in the heat of august. the room was over 75F and the bag must have been at 80F or more. totally in shade but very bright. when i came back there were aerial roots all over the trunk about 4" long. but as soon as i removed the bag they darkened and became britle. i broke them off since it was not really looking good. if you want to do that - you might need to keep a plastic cover over it for a year.
i also root cacti and orchids and other things in barely moistened 'deer moss' - it's lichen that is brittle when dry, but sprayed is soft and airy, roots love it. but they grow INTO it, so you'll have to be very careful removing it. just spray it, mound around the trunk where you want roots to grow and wait. it's have to be bagged. you might try to use 'air-layering' technique and then when roots are longer, elevate plastic cups with deer moss, so that roots continue extending down.
red mangroves develop aerial roots that become stanchions. that usually happens when they are suspended over and in the water, but not touching the sand. then they thicken and harden. you might google that.

to add: i looked thru my ficus bonsai book. it says: hi humidity. you can wrap long strands of sphagnum moss from where you want the roots to appear, along the trunk to soil area. mist regularly. if you want lower area base: wrap the bottom trunk area and loosely cover with plastic. for hi roots that already started take a plastic straw, cut lengthwise and put the root into it, stand up so it is at the soil level : to route the root. for long roots train them into sep pot that stands on top of 'mama' and they will grow in and thicken much faster. then you pull them out and dig them into the soil where you want them.
it does say that it's mature trees that produce aerials readily.
I did that search and came up with grafting techniques, which, well,.. that's a whole other post, but definately something worth looking into to add some branches in future (maybe 1 or 2 years down the road minimum).
Makes sense that horizontal branches would grow more arial roots. This aside, I have an elastica that came with tons of arial roots at the bottom. Maybe 20+ roots, but I do notice that they've started to dry up and while they are not falling off after a year, they haven't grown even an inch since either.
What I see in that pic I'd like a 5' version of, and with Al's search it seems that grafting is a way to do this.
I like that story. I'm trying to mimic that by tying a wet sponge to the last 3" of th bottom of the trunk and just making sure to keep it moist. Its worth a try, right? Also, maybe that plastic bag over it might do the trick too but for now the spong is keeping moist so I'll stick with this and see what happens.
I like that straw idea. Maybe to get the arial roots started then lead them into a straw an eventually into the soil and hopefully once rooted in the soild they will stay healthy and hydrated without the need of extra moisture.
This is a great place to start. Lots of info here. I'll take a picture tomorrow of the sponge (need sunlight for a better pic).

i think it's too tight. AND they might pierce the sponge - you won't be able to take it off without breaking them. just make a skirt with plastic bag , drop the bottom on the soil, tie the top loosely and squirt some water inside with a mister. it's also better to see what's going on inside. some loose sphagnum inside would be even better. sphagnum is very easy to remove.
if you insist on a sponge : make sev vertical cuts, but don't cut all the way, then stand 'the cylinder' around the trunk, moist, but not touching the trunk. then do the plastic bag around , tie on top. this way the hi humidity inside is guaranteed and roots will be shooting towards the sponge but hopefully not into it.
Thank you so much for all your help!
For now I'm going to do the clear plastic bag over the ficus as you said in my other post (the one about to do with repotting the lime) as these are the same plants. So right now I'm just going to do that, and mist frequently, and besides that I'm basically leave the poor thing alone. I've been working myself up with alot of anxiety over this and I just wanna try to calm down and not get too worked up.
I bought some supposedly 'clear' garbage bags. At least that's what the package said, but they are not fully clear and that concerns me. The bag to the left is fully clear and the others are not. Do you think they'll be okay? They would be in the full sun.
Yes, that heater below is on, and no I don't want to turn it off. It keeps the house warm. I have a piece of wood to go over it but its too big and needs to be cut down. It'll be at least a week before that happens.
So for now the plants were super misted to complete wetness, the bag put over them, and then the bag/plants misted with bag over and the plastic tucked under.
I'm just wondering about air. How often to let them breath? How does that work? Thanx
* EDIT - Add more info *
This morning after having bagged the plants and them sitting through they night, they felt more rigid and happy then ever! This works like a charm!

A) Take the bags off & allow the foliage dry asap (fungi require a specific incubation period under wet conditions, and you're providing it).
B) Cover the plants with bags large enough that you can keep the bag from contacting the foliage. If you don't, the foliage will, rot where it touches the bag. You may have to do some engineering by poking some sticks or wires into the soil to keep the bag from contacting foliage.
C) No full sun. You have created a passive solar collector, and your plants will quickly overheat and succumb to high temps.
D) Make sure ambient temps are above 55*
E) Snip off a corner of the bag or poke a few small holes in the bag to vent it. Humidity will still remain well above what it takes to support aerial root growth.
I made this tent thing for all 3 plants. There are vent places at the top where I ran out of tape. As well, I'm not sure if there is a good or bad thing but because I ran out of tape There are several places at the bottom that are raised an inch or so. A few places leaves touch but without that tape they must be sacrificed. It's so frustrating to do this kind of thing when you don't have the tools for it.
The temps will be about 15C or more.
I will now take the plants out and let them dry. The sun will not be directly o n the plants as this tent is back far enough that the rays to not hit it.
Thank you Al for giving me this info. It's now time for me to clear my mind and try to relax.

bedtime, i thought you knew how to bag! bagged plants should always be out of direct sunlight and with holes in the bag for ventilation. and not on the heater! i bag mine in dry-cleaners - large bags with lots of air and large vent on top. they should not be so damp as to steam up.
when i read your post, i thought it would be too late, and they would be cooked already!.but ficus is tropical and can take a lot of warmth and humidity, so should be ok.
just make sure the floor underneath is covered in plastic too or you'll get floor damage. 15C is a bit low, if it's only at nite, that's ok, since inside the bag it will be higher, may be 18C. for tropicals you'll need at least 22C(72F) for good growth, so do you have 18-19C during the day? for root development it's the soil temp that matters most: for tropicals you need at least 65F in the middle of the pot(18C). i use an electronic kitchen probe to check the soil temps.
if it's too cold and wet - you'll get mold/mildew and rot.
hot and moist(not damp) for tropicals is not a problem, provided there is enough air circulation and light is bright and diffused (no direct sun light).
usually if your room temps are low or in cool greenhouse people have propagators or heat mats to provide bottom heat to the roots . you effectively set up a propagator but without the heat.
the heat radiator is too hot for that purpose and too close to the window. IF you would close the blinds on that window or put sheers to cover the window, it would be ok to move the rig a bit closer to heat source. i can't see from the pic what's on the window.
yeh, it's a lot, but you decided to repot too early, it's less complicated when it's 18C at nite and 25C during the day.
The heat shouldn't be a problem. It's actually warmer then I thought. Around 15 - 20C inside the house. The current temp is 25C in the terrarium right now during the day so I think the night temp would likely not dip below 18C.
I moved the terrarium right up near the heater and I'll be monitoring the temperature and the sun. As far as the forecast goes it'll be cloudy for the rest of the week and has been cloudy all day. If the sun comes out I could easily put something over the window.
I don't mind doing all this. I've learned so much from you guys. Particularly you and Al with your long responses, lol. But without them who knows what I'd have done. Probably lost some plants! They don't stand a chance without you! You guys are like angels sent to save my plants!
* EDIT - Add picture + additional info *
I found out that the area where I keep my plants was worse then I thought. It had 25% humidity with 25C temperature. That's without sun. Meanwhile in the terrarium its 65% - 80% at 25C.
I took the single elastica out and tied a pole to it to straighten it and keep it straight, as I wont be looking at it much while its in the terrarium anyways. The picture is without the pole of course. Looks pretty healthy.

This thread cracked me up!
Bedtime, you are awesome. One suggestion and boom - it's done. Someone says no, no - bag it -- and boom, it's done. Literally! Another says "OMG you're killing your plant!" and boom -- a wonderful makeshift greenhouse. So cute!
Only if everyone was as efficient... :-) Best of luck, bedtime! If it doesn't work, you can always buy more and combine, then take cuttings to put into your "greenhouse". They root pretty easily at leaf nodes and other than coleus or jasmine, might be my third favorite thing to root.
Yeah, I've been doing more net searching lately. Its just that sometimes it's not easy to find specific info but you're right.
Thanx. The plants are actually doing very well. Through all that they've been through not one leaf has dropped. Not one leaf has changed colour or made any indication of poor health. I'm quite impressed.
I have several cuttings in the terrarium. Some in water, some in soil, and they are doing well too.
Only issue seems to be that the plant is not as rigid as it was before when I first got it, but it's getting there. I can see improvements every few days. The ficus elastica tineke actually looks like its colours have became more vivid and no longer so washed out looking, if that is possible. Maybe it's just my imagination.
As well, the plants seem to be stabilizing more within their pots. So that tells me the roots must be stretching out a little and the soil must be settling. I'm hoping for a full recovery a few weeks before outdoor temps raise enough to put them out, so I can slowly transition them to outside. In a few days I might post progress pics but there really isn't much changed about the plants anyways.
Just to give you an idea of the environment they like, last night here the minimum temp was 25c and humidity stayed at 95% all night. Yesterday the humidity dropped a little below 90% for only 2 hours. Just now, midday today, the temp is 28C and humidity 94%, and it's raining. F. elastica wallow in that, just like pigs in .........mud, LOL.
Lately the humidity in the terrarium has been about 24C+ with 70-82% humidity. I try to air it out a little when it gets over 80% to avoid mold and such.
The big burgundy ficus elastica has made several new leaves and arial roots near the bottom. The single ficus elastica (both burgundy and varigated) have started to sprout new leaves on the cut off trunks, which I immediately snipped. The soil elastica cuttings have rooted (checked with pull method) and look to be actually starting to make new leaves, somehow. The water elastica cuttings have developed white blob root things and have also started to all sprout new leaves where they where cut at the top of their trunk.
The persian lime tree has made a few new roots as can be felt when I dig my finger in the soil but otherwise this is absolutely no new growth whatsoever since I bough it. Seems like its dorment or something. Not a flower, not a bud, not a sign of any new leaf growth at all. All leaves in fine shape and just 'there', as if frozen in time! o.o
Today I watered them all and aired out the terrarium and put them back in. Soon I think it'll be time to make the slow transition out of the terrarium and into the apartment and then eventually onto the balcony when weather allows.
Al, so far so good with your mix buddy. It looks as if it works great in this terrarium but the real test comes when I try to take it out, which kinda frightens me a little. But these plants cannot hide in that terrarium all their lives. Just like a child cannot crawl forever. They must eventually be without the intensive care I am now providing. In any event I don't like looking at a giant piece of plastic in my living room. : /
Just thought I'd update. Sorry no pics. Just imagine the same plants with a new leaf here and there. Really not much of a difference visually.
you'll have to transition out of terrarium slowly. like in the beginning let them be outside terrarium for quarter/half a day, out of the direct sun. then back in - for a few days, or a week. then out for a full day, for nite back in. then finally out. but not into the full sun indoors yet - again slowly . most of your plants, except lime do not need full sun, they actually prefer dappled moving sun or diffused sunlight thru sheers or blinds. when you blast the room with hot sun it gets very dry: at 25% humidity you'll start getting brown margins on ficus leaves. if you don't have blinds, you'll have to keep ficuses way away from the hot window, like 2-3 meters away. early morning or late western sun is ok though. once you have many plants grouped together, the humidity will rise. you need to get it at least to 50%, 40% at the absolute minimum. running a humidifier helps.
Instead of letting them out of the terrarium and shocking them with location, light, and humidity change what if I just opened the terrarium and allowed outside air in so the humidity drops? I could open the terrarium more and more over the course of 2 weeks leading up to regular humidity levels and then work on transferring them out and into progressively more light. How does that sound? I don't mean to oppose your advice but I am just wondering.
As far as dry air is concerned my old ficus' doesn't seem to mind (about 1'1/2 tall). Even as low as 25%. Not a single brown tip, and though it will not grow arial roots, it has kept the ones that it came with when I bought it over a year ago. Thing is it's dormant. Hasn't grown an inch in maybe 6 months or more so I definitely see where you're coming from that they cannot thrive in low humidity conditions.
This brings me to thinking, is it worth it to have plants that will not grow or only grow in the summer? The answer is no. Eventually I'll put the ficus in the corner of the room away from the heater and about 2-3meters from the south window and see what happens, but if they don't fare well its bye bye to them. It's just too depressing for me to see them unhappy or in a state of stagnancy.
In contrast I have a lemon tree, schefflera amate, and two heartleaf philodendron's that are thriving and they make me happy.
Once again a pic for you guys to see. If you look at ficus burgundy you can see a new leaf. There are 2 more but cannot be seen in this picture, as well as one that seems to be in the works:
A lot of plants that live in high humidity environments will root readily from the stems. It seems to be built into the plants that when light is low they grow long and then fall. Once leaning they put down roots and repeat the process until they end up in better conditions (law of the jungle sort of thing for survival). High humidity also aids in producing extra roots from stems which then buttress them and strengthen them to get higher into light. It can be upwards and sidewards.
what you want to do to vent the terrarium - it'll have exact same results, but less hassle. it's fine, it's the same thing, may be even more gradual, then fully taking them out.
if your ficus is not growing much, but still looks good - it's fine. it's a slow grower anyway (indoors), why toss it? when you have more larger plants it'll raise the humidity eventually.
i have 3 ficus lyrata that go dormant in winter - and i have 60% humidity. usually i watered them once a week , not too much. this jan i was away for a month! so i put them on ceramic spikes: not much water but steady and they produced sev. leaves! i was very surprised. if growth=steady if small supply of water, then may be it's the way to make them grow even in winter. one of my ficuses was funnelling water to such an extent - it was dumping water in the saucer!
it got flooded! i was quite concerned, but instead it started throwing new leaves all over. may be it thought the wet season started?!
so now i don't really know why they say to water them less in winter. though the new leaves are smaller then in summer, 'cause there's less light - by it's ok by me.
That's basically what I'm trying to do but on a larger scale with this plastic terrarium.
I've read this before and have wondered if tipping the tree on it's side might promote arial root growth. Would look silly for a while though, but once the roots got started they might be able to be trained into the soil.
I've been thinking about just throwing them in a corner of the room but I measured the humidity level and its only 30% in that corner. Better then the 25% that is near the window where the heater is but still quite low. It might just be possible to group them all together in that corner (the one away from the window) and hang my heart leaf philo above them or even drape around somehow and maybe that would raise the humidity to an acceptable level. Would have to try to find out though.
For the past 2-3 days the terrarium has been at 55% humidity and 26C. The leaves do not feel as resilient as when it was at 65%-80% but it'll have to do.
well, just get yourself a hot vapor humidifier - not the cold vapor ones. it's good for plants, it's very good for you. it's also good for wood furniture :), it helps to settle dust and mites hate higher humidity. they are quite cheap. you only need to run it during the heating season and if you're lazy to fill it every day - every other day is better then nothing. they shut off when out of water.
I have a 2L steam humidifier and I've used it before. I don't like it's appearance and also I pay for electricity which could add up. 600W is alot of power to have going much of the day. The plant would be in the living room which is decent sized and there is no way that humidifier could raise the rooms humidity by over 5%. It would have to be right near the plants and it's just not my thing.
I'm just thinking of ease and enjoyment. You saw my other thread on the umbrella plant. It thrives on 25-40% humidity. Not a brown tip on it. That's the kinda plants I want.
It IS really important to grow the type of plants that suit you, your lifestyle and personality. Right now, working from home, I have the luxury and extra time to accommodate as much as I want, but if ever I go back to onsite work -- I don't have time to make gardening my part time job. Haha. Spending considerable and valuable time to recreate (and maintain!) an environment doesn't offer naturally is prohibitive. Also, plants that do not react in a way where it feels rewarding to the grower becomes a waste of time because it feels unrewarding.
As is the case with anything, if it isn't fun, it becomes a chore.
That said, speaking of humidity, I have saucers with pebbles an water EVERYWHERE, and behind some planters, I have pots full of just plain water. Generally, each water pot is surrounded by other plants and almost invisible -- and like Petrushka mentioned, this ups the humidity even more by containing it to one area. They're taking up valuable real estate here, so I did as much as I could -- and then bought some humidity thermometers to keep tabs. Generally, this plus often opening windows has maintained 56-60% humidity indoors. Apparently it still wasn't enough for my maidenhair fern so she, along with a Dracaena I now actually despise lol, got tossed outside; they wanted war, and now they have it, just not with me -- and Mother Nature is not as kind. But the rest? This amount of effort seems to work nicely for them. And running around pouring more water to the rims once a week is not a chore. I can do that.
I agree with you both: I have lots and lots of plants (120 and counting) that most of the time I just look at - no work at all. the thing is when they have what they need - it's a breeze.
I have a pretty hi-tone living quarters without a mess or unsightly gadgets. low maint. is a must too.
there are tricks to conceal things: behind furniture/ in long boxes/behind other plants. you won't see my water containers or tubs,etc - it's all pretty-pretty ready for a pic.
besides that you crack me up, bedtime: talking about ease and enjoyment, while you've been fussing for weeks lately over a leaf here or an angle there ...LOL

This is just me musing .......
"As is the case with anything, if it isn't fun, it becomes a chore."
That's true, but a better understanding of what is today's chore often turns that chore into tomorrow's joy. We have a new puppy that's proving to be much more of a challenge to train than other dogs I've known, but I'll keep after it until he's well-trained and a joy to be around.
I think that some plants are particularly difficult for some growers because their growing habits are such that the cultural conditions they provide are at or near the limits of what the plant is programmed to tolerate. This leaves them able to grow the species more tolerant of the grower's habits, but not those that are slightly more demanding.
I've found that once you've really found the sweet spot, it's actually very large and allows you to grow almost anything you try with ease and minimal gnashing of teeth. I can grow impatiens in the same pot as a jade or ficus if I want to ..... and my biggest concern would be the differing light preferences, not the fact that one plant is purported to be intolerant of the other's preference for soil moisture levels.
Don't be too quick to give up on a plant that's a chore. Keep learning all you can, and soon you'll discover there are very few plants that challenge your patience or ability. Experience runs a distant second to knowledge when it comes to being able to keep your plants happy. If you rely on your practical experience to validate what you've learned, you'll move forward much faster than others fumbling around in the dark learning by trial and error - essentially relying on getting bit on the butt by their mistakes as their primary learning impetus.
I'm not willing to do water trays or humidifiers. I just don't like the look of it. My goal is a simple easy and elegant system. Once I start doing all this then the house starts to look trashy. I do open the window just a crack when it's below zero and more when temperatures allow for it.
In my house it is extremely challenging to hide things as I have no furniture and that's how I like it. Any yeah, I do worry far to much. It's just a thing with me.
I don't seem to have as much patience as you. I took down the terrarium and just put the plants out as they were before. I just can't stand having a giant plastic bag and 4 huge rubbermaid bins sitting right in the middle of my living room. It's been 3 weeks and I'm tired of it. It's too much.
I really hope these plants adapt or they'll be going in the garbage bin, sorry to say. They have 30-40% humidity to work with and that's all they're getting. No tricks. Even right now the place looks unsightly as I have several herbs waiting to go outside as well as the lemon tree and lime bush. Plants are supposed to improve the look of a house and so far for the past 4 months they've made it look MUCH worse. I've invested hundreds of dollars into this, I'm broke, and my house still looks like disaster zone, sigh.
Anyways, sorry to rant. I appreciate the help you all give me. I'm just depressed. * hugs *
whuch yah blaming ME for??? he's the one threatening to dump all into a garbage bin AFTER spending the money AND complaining that he is broke!
AND us sitting here for WEEKs trying to help?
I've about had it...you are free to continue the good works...:)))) wah-wah-wah!
Incidentally, Al -- re: your great post above, I concur. Which is why I tell you that you have made gardening fun again. :-) I used to breed working German Shepherds and helped people train their dogs. It was always a joy to see the light come on when you help them understand the DOG rather than "learn training". I guess you probably feel the same about people "getting" plants when they begin to understand soil and the likes.
But after a combined 15 years of killing gardenias, I'm about to call it quits on that one if I don't whip my current ones into shape LOL. I have earned it and the entire species will appreciate it! Haha.
Actually - I was wondering why the dog cracks were necessary - where they even came from??
Seeing that 'light' come on is very gratifying to anyone trying to teach someone else something. I give a lot of talks to gardening groups about various aspects of growing, and I get to see that light whenever I explain how water behaves in soils, about the importance of root maintenance to long term plant health, about fertilizers ....
There are knucklehead dogs and knucklehead people. Fortunately, you can usually ignore the knuckleheads you're not related to, but you can't ignore your knucklehead dog. The point was, the stick to it attitude when it comes to the dog makes the difference between a dog's lifetime of frustration and teeth gnashing (by the owner) vs a companion that rarely tries your patience and loves you without reservation. It takes effort to raise a dog right, and it takes an effort to grow well. It doesn't come naturally, it has to be learned.
Your gardenias shouldn't be all that tough. You're already most of the way there.

Last weekend My Girl and I stopped at a local coffee shop with "old school" decor. While we waited for my coffee, we happened to sit next to the same phone my Granny had in her home (when I was a child)! I had to show My Girl how to dial out, which actually took me a second to remember. Man have times changed! (Wait...Did I really just say that??)

A future dancer???
My baby girl was watching big Sissy in dance class tonight! As we peeked around the corner of the dance studio, I quickly realized I would have to hold her tight to keep her from running inside. We held hands as she danced to the beat and tapped her foot like the older girls.
It wasn't long after that I had to snatch her up and hide out in a close by dressing room. I'm sure the teacher was not so pleased with the "cute little distraction" we were making at the door!

Don't forget the beer!
I'm way behind on groceries, so had a ton of items on my list today! After at least an hour of shopping, hubby sends me a text that says, "Pls get beer and trail mix". Really? All these groceries and all you want is beer??? smh
I'm pleased to say he redeemed himself by helping put up ALL the food AND barbecuing the crab legs I bought on the grill!

Holding On...
It amazes me what My Girl sometimes associates with her birth Father since she has no actual memory of him. Today I was cleaning out her dresser and found a shirt with tags still on it. I threw it into the pile to give away, and she snatched it back immediately. As she was hugging it tightly, I guess she noticed my obvious look of confusion. This prompted her to explain she had to keep it because it was a Christmas gift from her Dad. Even though she'd never wear it, she didn't have the heart to part with it.
It hurts my heart that all she has to hold on to of her Father is a $15 shirt from Gymboree.

Silly Veggies!
My boy LOVES to help make dinner, so I'm always giving him little jobs to keep him busy. Last night I asked him to place the cauliflower we were baking onto the cookie sheet after I cut it up. Easy job I know, but it was all I could think of!
I love how creative he can be and always makes cooking dinner fun. I never would have thought to make a smiley face with our veggies. See picture below. :) Of course I had to mess up his silly face when I seasoned it for cooking, but I did that after he wandered off into the other room. LOL
I had "Pinned" this recipe I wanted to try, but could not find it on my Pinterest page for some reason. I decided to "wing it" and add my favorite ingredients. After tossing the cauliflower in olive oil, I added a little garlic powder, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, fresh basil from our garden and lot's of fresh parmesan cheese my boy shredded for me. I cooked it at 425 degrees for 20 minutes and it was delicious! I highly recommend some parchment paper though. What a mess to clean up!

I miss him, Mom.
We are painting the inside of our home and are just now starting my girls' room. I saved their room for last as I knew there would be a ton of "stuff" hidden behind their bunk bed, dresser and in the closet. As I picked up a handful of items, a picture fell out onto the floor. It was a picture of Reese's Dad. Even though she doesn't remember him from when she was a baby, she has seen many pictures and recognized him instantly. She said, "Look Mom, it's a picture of my Dad." I confirmed and prepared for the many questions to follow. "Will I ever get to see him again?" "Does he still look like this?" "Does he live with his Parents still?" "How far away does he live?"
It's funny to me the thoughts that pop into her head about a man she only knows from past conversations. After answering her questions to the best of my ability, she ended our awkward chat with "I miss him, Mom." What do you say to that?
We put his picture back in her Daddy Box and continued cleaning up their room.

This is a great story with interesting, but predictable results.
Unfortunately such actions are no doubt considered un AmeriKan by those who's task is the relentless dumbing down of our citizens, but it proves by 'pulling the plug' so to speak that there can be renewed intellectual growth post living in the ravages of an electronic 'wasteland'.
I've limited my time on the web to 23 hours per day as opposed to 24 and feel a hell of alot better. I'm now taking an 'air banjo' course at the local community college… : ))

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - An economist and environmentalist is causing a cat fight in his home country. He suggested that to save birds, cats need to be eliminated.
Gareth Morgan said he would like to see New Zealand free of cats. Morgan called on his countrymen Tuesday to make their current cat their last in order to save the nation's unique native birds.
He doesn't suggest people kill their cats, but rather neuter them and not replace them when they die. His ideas are not sitting well in a country with one of the highest cat ownership rates in the world. Cat lovers say they don't want to be deprived of the companionship a cat brings. According to Yahoo, a 2011 survey by the New Zealand Companion Animal Council found that 48 per cent of New Zealand households owned at least one cat, significantly higher than in other developed nations.

A "zero-sum game" is a reasonably well understood phrase, though often incorrectly used as "zero sum gain." The opposite of this is a "non-zero–sum game," which I find rather unwieldy. Is there a better phase than "non-zero–sum game?"
In addition to zero sum games, there are also positive sum games and negative sum games. See this discussion. Apparently, these are related, but different from win-win games. |
I wouldn't be too sure a zero sum game is that well-known... But putting aside the more "academic" overtones of the above definition, I suppose when it's used in common parlance the focus is on the fact that there's no collective gain. So the opposite is a... Win-win game (or more often, Win-win negotiation) |
I'm not a gamer, so game theory is all new to me. Clearly positive-sum and negative-sum are not what you are looking for either. I came here seeking that apparently illusive opposite as well. In my context the win/win vs. win/lose concept are close but too vague for my liking. After reading this thread I have chosen to coin (or unconsciously plagiarize) the phrase "Infinite-Sum game. |
virtuous circle or virtuous cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuous_circle_and_vicious_circle context of abundance rather than shortage - authentic collaboration rather than extractive 'teamwork' |
The term I learned in college economics is "zero sum gain". It was before so-called game theory and it is the better of the terms for the condition. |

7 Suggestions For Refreshing Iced Tea
June is National Iced Tea month and with the warm weather and long, lazy days, there's no better time for a thirst-quenching glass of iced tea. While making iced tea can be as simple as pouring fresh brewed tea over a tall pitcher of ice, there are hundreds of more complex varieties. I've scoured the Internet for the most innovative recipes. Here you'll find seven of my favorites; these are the iced teas I plan on sipping all Summer long.

These do sound awesome. Being pregnant I can't indulge on much and have to drink plenty of fluids. So I've been making suntea by the gallons, some of these will be great to try.

Mmmmmm, these sounds delish!
I just don't like iced tea too sweet, I love these ideas for sweetness and different flavours.

Physics Pioneer Higgs Says He Didn't Expect Particle in Lifetime
Peter Higgs, the physicist whose paper in 1964 sparked the search for the theoretical particle named after him, said he didn't expect it to be found in his lifetime.
Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, working on the origins of matter said this week they discovered a particle that may support the Higgs theory of physics. They now need to look at the structure of the particle to see what it's made of, Higgs said.
"At the beginning I had no idea a discovery would be made in my lifetime," Higgs, 83, said at a press conference in the Old College at the University of Edinburgh, where he worked from 1960 until his retirement in 1996. "It's very nice to be right sometimes."
The particle is the final piece of the jigsaw in the Standard Model, a theory explaining how the universe is built, and its existence would help scientists gain a better understanding of how galaxies hold together. The observed particle is the heaviest boson ever found, said Joe Incandela, spokesman for one of the experiments at CERN, at a seminar at its Geneva headquarters on July 4.
Stephen Hawking, a British theoretical physicist who thought the Higgs boson wouldn't be found, has said Higgs should get a Nobel Prize. Higgs said the awarding committee would have to change its rules to allow more people to share the prize because five of the six theorists are still alive. The Nobel Foundation's statutes say the prizes can't be divided among more than three people.
Research Center
Scientists will next look at whether the newly discovered boson is an elemental one or a composite of others, said Richard Kenway, professor of mathematical physics in Edinburgh. The university today announced a new Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics with an initial budget of 750,000 pounds ($1.2 million) for academic staff and research programs.
Higgs said there was "lots more to do." His advice to scientists taking on the next challenges was to "keep at it."
Particle physics is the study of the elemental building blocks that make up matter. These particles, with names such as quark, fermion, lepton and boson, can't be subdivided. They exist and interact within several unseen "fields" that permeate the universe.
Scientists are trying to prove the existence of the Higgs field by displaying a physical effect for the Higgs boson, a particle that lives for less than a trillionth of a second and is an excitation, or force, within the Higgs field.
The data presented in Geneva this week were the latest from the $10.5 billion Large Hadron Collider, a 27-kilometer (17- mile) circumference particle accelerator buried on the border of France and Switzerland. CERN has 10,000 scientists working on the project, in which billions of subatomic particles are hurled at each other at velocities approaching the speed of light.
The collider will provide more data later this year, giving scientists a more complete picture of the observed new particle.
