Hardening Young Camellias for Winter
Hello All,
For background on this you could look at this thread:
I'm in New York City, zone 7b. I have a number of young camellias (sasanqua.. don't know the variety) which I started as cuttings in summer 2011 so this will be their third winter. The plants are 8 to 12 inches tall... so still pretty small and delicate. Most of them have leaf buds. Last winter they were all in pots which I burried and covered with plastic and micro foam. Last spring I put them in the ground in various locations and there they remain.
Last weekend (november 9) seeing that there was light frost in the forecast for this week I covered them, again with clear plastic and micro foam over an armature. Then this morning I was looking at the Ackerman book and saw that he says to let them harden off for couple weeks before covering but he doesn't specify what kind of temperatures they should be subject to. We've had some nights in the mid 30s. Tonight is forecast to be 30 degrees.
I took the cuttings from a mature plant very near my home so I'm pretty confident they will eventually be able to survive the winters unprotected.
So here are my questions...
How crucial is the hardening process? Is there clear evidence that it makes a difference?
Should I go ahead and uncover them now and if so at what point should they be covered? After a hard freeze (at or below 28)? Before?
How many years should I plan on protecting them in winter?
Also, it has been a really dry fall here so I watered before covering them. I can't undo this now but for future reference was this the right move?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
Well, I do not grow them from cuttings because they take so long compared to other shrubs but I would have interpreted Ackerman's comments as something to apply on the first winter only and I would do this by exposing them to temperatures near 32F and then let their genetic trait handle coler temperatures. Here are some temps to have in mind.. open blosoms are damaged below 26-28F on vaerage; buds below 10-15F. Sasanquas get damaged at much colder temps, below 0F. So none of those temps that you mentioned are even close to damaging the 8-12" plants that you have. I would keep them well mulched with 3-4" of mulch. And maybe water the night before temps go down from above to below freezing. That is to minimize dessication damage. But that would be all I would do.
The best way to prevent damage is to have a healthy plant. Depending on camellia tree size, you can cloak it with frost wrap or cloth sheets to provide some temporary insulation on the coldest nights. Then, once spring returns, keep the soil evenly moist and fertilize to encourage healthy new growth to replace any damaged tissues. But in Zone 7, it is not likely you would hit temps like that.

ADDISON COUNTY — Many drunk driving offenders will have the ability to get on the road quicker beginning next month if they install a state-approved ignition interlock system designed to ensure they are not operating under the influence.
The reason is Act 126, a new state law passed by the Legislature in 2010 that takes effect on July 1.

MIDDLEBURY — The Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History will be marching to a new tune at its biggest annual fund-raiser on June 30 in order to add a little musical variety while cranking up the financial return.
For the past 18 years, the Sheldon Museum Pops Concert, which is hosted in the week leading up to the Fourth of July, had featured the Vermont Symphony Orchestra (VSO) as lead performer during an evening culminating in fireworks. The concert has yielded an important piece of the nonprofit Sheldon's annual revenue stream.
VERGENNES — At Tuesday's city council meeting, Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel honored several members of the city police department, and he and City Manager Mel Hawley swore in the newest member of the Vergennes force.
With two dozen of their family members looking on, Merkel praised all of the department's officers for their willingness to work any hours and accept any duties he asked of them, and for their ability to create "peaceful resolutions" when faced with difficult situations.
VERGENNES — Aldermen at their regular meeting Tuesday adopted a budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal year and set a new tax rate; see story, page 1A.
In other business, the city council:
ADDISON COUNTY — A New England nonprofit opposed to nuclear proliferation on Monday warned a group of 40 Addison County residents and legislators about the imminent dangers surrounding the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant and its possible closure next year.
BRISTOL — Members of the Bristol selectboard set their top-five priorities for the year ahead.
At Monday's meeting, selectmen said those priorities are, in no particular order:
• Push forward the repair and replacement of three town bridges,
• Conduct a feasibility study for expanding the town's septic system.
MIDDLEBURY —The Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC) purchased a used Toyota Prius on March 24 with funds from its regular operating budget. Then, at the end of May, the planning commission went to a third-party provider in Boston called Hymotion to convert the car into a plug-in hybrid using federal stimulus funds.
Essentially, what Hymotion did was take out the spare tire in the trunk and replace it with a rechargeable 5-kWh battery pack. The car is now a hybrid with extra energy storage in the back that is charged using an outlet.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Lions Club at its annual awards night banquet Monday honored four club members and one community member with one of its highest tributes, and bestowed its Lion of the Year award on member Cleon Bigelow.
In a celebration of another year of service to the local and worldwide community, Lion Tom Broughton presented the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowships to Lions Cathy Anderson, Dave Nourse, Donald "Doc" Hunt and Cory Newton, as well as to Mark Perrin, owner of Green Peppers Restaurant.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Apportionment Board (VAB) has drafted a controversial new map that re-draws several Addison County House districts and even splits one local town — Monkton.
The new map, which will set the boundaries for House districts that will be contested in the 2012 election, must be endorsed by the Legislature before it becomes law.
MIDDLEBURY — After a year's hiatus, the Middlebury Area Community Garden has finally found a new home at Porter Medical Center.
A shake-up last spring at Otter Creek Brewing left the garden homeless — since its founding in the spring of 2009, it had been based on the brewery's property. It was April when the garden's steering committee discovered that the space would be unavailable, and by then it was too late to find and prepare another location before the growing season.

Very convenient tool for getting into tight spaces with little clearance. Great for getting fasteners off quickly without having to readjust the wrench like with the standard types. Most importantly, it's made in the USA which is a big deal to me.

Just added a standard and metric set to go along with the rest of my tools, since I didn't have any. Very nice, quality USA made tools!

Good item. Strong material, easy to use. I would suggest losing the smaller piece and adding a piece somwhere in the middle to decrease the number of gaps between sizes.
Marcus Hook, PA
via sears.com
this is one of two metric sets I could find at my local sears that was still made in the usa ! I liked the design of some of the newer type wrenches , but all made in china , so I stuck with the classic craftsman wrenches made in the usa . great tools. FOR LIFE. Did I say they are MADE IN THE USA . the quality of the metal is great , easy to switch from left to right . 5 wrenches - 10 sises.
Houston, TX
These are tough, U.S.-made ratchets (before they get outsourced) that will get the job done. The ratcheting is smooth. I also have the SAE set of these ratchets. The good thing is that each ratchet has two sizes, so you're actually buying 10 ratchets at a good price. The the angled heads can sometimes be a drawback. They don't always get to the hard to reach areas. Overall I'm happy with these ratchets.

I have always wanted a set of these but never felt like paying a lot of money for them. found these on sale and picked them up. They work great, now I have to go back and pick up the Standard set.

The most amazing Wrenches I have ever bought, I love thefact I never have to remove the wrench until the job is done. Sears and Craftsman put out a Great product this time. I am looking forward to the many projects I can do with these Great wrenches.

A very useful set of tools, that can aid in loosening and tightening bolts or nuts in hard to reach places. The construction is simple and durable and IF the product should break for any reason...hey, it's Craftsman....guaranteed for life!

Before ...and in the middle.
The wife and I retired and moved to Southern Oklahoma a couple of years back. We bought a small fixer-upper on the edge of town. The landscaping was a wreck. Parts of it are still a bit...mature.
Within a couple of weeks of completing our move, we had the front yard measured and plans drawn on a few sheets of graph paper. Then, as the work progressed, we began the planting diagrams. The project is going exactly according to plan, but we're about six months behind our original schedule.
The budget, however, involves lots of shoestrings, and we've done all of the work ourselves ...and by hand.
When complete, this will be a fully edible landscape, with every square foot of the garden in production - except for the paths, of course. We're just about half way there. We have approx $2,100 invested in amendments, edging, plants, compost, with landscape cloth and sand as a base layer under the gravel paths.
We have approx. another $1,500 budgeted for the project over the next year to a year and a half. Remaining work: 1.) Build boxes around the raised beds. 2.) Purchase and install the remaining permanent plants. 3.) Remove the sod and replace with edible ground covers. The latter task may be scheduled for three or four years from now, depending on how I feel about things. The sooner I get tired of mowing the grass, the sooner the edible ground covers go in.
First, the 'before.' pic...
Thank you, Alicia.
A little here, a little there, an hour here and fifteen minutes over there, with a couple full days tossed in, now and then.
Anyone can do it, if they have a plan and don't have to deal with a HOA or some such. The codes are fairily easy to get along with, here, too.
The first three or four moths the front yard looked like a royal mess. I was getting some pretty strange looks from people. What *they* saw was a skinny old man running around the front yard with a shovel and a piece of string, digging everything up. What I saw was something else entirely: Possibilities.
It didn't really start to shape up as planned until this spring. Now, it's *starting* to resemble the imagery I had in my mind's eye, all along.
Thank you, lnorigb. I do appreciate it.
One of my favorite vews of the garden is from a nice, comfy chair under the cedar tree...while drinking some ice tea.

K9 Proves Vital For La Crosse PD
Over the last couple weeks the La Crosse Police Department's Investigative Bureau has executed several search warrants and made multiple, high profile drug arrests. These large cases can overshadow the excellent work being done by the front line officers. The front line uniformed police officers are the "back bone" of our police department. We would like to highlight a recent night of activity from Officer LeQue and his new K-9 partner Ralph. Officer LeQue is assigned to second shift patrol and recently took over the handling of K-9 Ralph from Officer Fitzgerald who was promoted to an Investigator.
On March 2nd the newly formed K-9/Handler relationship took a big step forward with a highly productive night. Officer LeQue deployed K9 Ralph on 4 separate traffic stops resulting in the arrest of 6 people, the recovery of over 36 grams of marijuana, and 3 drug smoking pipes. One of these deployments led to the arrest of a suspect wanted for a heroin related charge; a drug that has repeatedly proven to be dangerous to our community. Assistant Chief Abraham stated: "Our K-9 units have proven to be a tremendous asset to the Department and the community. The message to drug dealers is clear, keep out of La Crosse" The La Crosse Police would like to thank the community for their continued support of men, women and K-9's that work extremely hard to keep our community safe and drug free.
Two Repeat Drunk Drivers Charged In La Crosse
A couple of repeat drunk driving suspects appeared before a La Crosse judge on Monday...
Whitney Zemple is facing his fourth drunk driving arrest. Zemple's blood alcohol was measured at .17. He's also accused of trying to escape and fight with a cop.
Another driver, Sean Iverson of La Crosse, could be convicted of O-W-I for the sixth time. Iverson had beers in his car when an officer stopped him for a broken light. While his .14 was lower than the level for Zemple, Iverson is not supposed to have blood alcohol above .02 because of his past arrests.
Shilling Responds To First Senate Challenger
Senator Jennifer Shilling has released a statement in response to the news that a Republican challenger has announced his candidacy for the 32nd Senate District. She says "There will be ample time to debate political differences, but with less than two weeks left in the current legislative session, I remain focused on working with my colleagues in the Senate to address the serious economic challenges that are impacting families in our state. Shilling says she continues to hear from residents who are frustrated with the direction that our state is headed under the current Republican policies, and she looks forward to the ongoing discussions about how to move our state forward.
Feehan To Run For 32nd Senate District
Bill Feehan officially announced his candidacy for the 32nd state Senate district at an announcement event on Monday. The County board supervisor and chairman of the La Crosse County Republican Party said his experience as a business owner and elected official give him a unique perspective on how to grow the economy and create jobs. "People in Western Wisconsin are hurting. Many people are unemployed and have given up looking for work. Others have accepted lower paying jobs," Feehan said. "We must grow our economy and create jobs," he added, citing a proposal in northwestern Wisconsin an opportunity to create thousands of high quality new jobs and generate new tax revenue. "We will see if our elected officials vote to grow our economy and create jobs or pander to environmental interests." Feehan said we need to move beyond the current political climate. "Recalls are bad government, he said. "It's time to set aside the bitterness and to start working together to create a better future for Wisconsin." Feehan owns three local businesses with his wife, Sue Kolve-Feehan, who also spoke at Monday's event. Feehan has also worked at Unilever Food Solutions for 16 years, where most recently he's been responsible for managing business with regional food service chains.
Divers Find Body In Wisconsin River
Stevens Point Search and Rescue teams have pulled a body from the Wisconsin River. But the body has not been identified. Search crews spent the morning looking for Eric Duffey, a UW Stevens Point student who hasn't been seen since early Saturday morning.Police say they were searching the Wisconsin River for a missing college student who may have accidently walked into the water. Assistant Chief Brian Kudronowich said firefighters were on boats today searching for 21-year-old Eric Duffey. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point student disappeared early Saturday morning after celebrating his 21st birthday. Since then, police and volunteers were scouring neighborhoods near downtown Stevens Point where Duffey was last seen. Kudronowicz says Duffey may have walked into the river. He says alcohol could be a factor.

These pictures are about as awful as they come. But I just had to document them because this is the most wonderful Charlotte tradition. All of the LDS (our faith) Stakes (a group of congregations) in the area come together to put on several different Nativity Festivals. Each Nativity Festival has hundreds of nativities that are shared by people in the congregations. The gym in the church is beautifully decorated and the nativities are on display for the public to come and see. We've invited several friends each year and it has really become an amazing experience for us. It was hard for Annie to keep her hands off of the nativities but she did a great job. It really helped drive home the idea of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. She really caught on to that this year. In one of the rooms was a collection that someone (not of our faith) had donated after being so touched by the festival last year. This woman had probably 100 nativities. It was something that I really admired. I would love to have my Christmas decor surrounding the savior. This is a favorite tradition and one I hope to carry with me if we ever leave this great city. I love my Charlotte family.
Uptown Christmas Tree Lighting
One of our favorite little traditions. Annie got to see Santa again and had no fear hopping right up there. We went with our friends the Campbells and met up with Dad for dinner after. It was a fun night Uptown with my little adventurer.
Thanksgiving in DC 2014
It was our year for Thanksgiving with the Barkers and we were so excited to get up to DC to be with them. A few moving parts led us to James' basketball game at 7 pm on Tuesday night where he had a blast playing with coworkers and Annie worked on her cheerleading skills, then we crazily hit the road at 7...for the 7 hour drive. I had a segment scheduled the next day at noon in DC and we wanted to allow James to work Tuesday. It was a tad insane. But somehow, it worked out for the best. A storm was rolling in the next morning and we narrowly missed it. We got in just in time for a few hours of shut eye before I headed out the next morning for my segment at Let's Talk Live (the abc affiliate) in DC. We talked last minute travel tips. Love this show.
On Thanksgiving morning I convinced Allison and Melissa to try out the new SoulCycle studio with me in downtown DC. We had to go to an early class as they didn't allow newbies in the Turkey burn, which was 90 minutes. It was another early morning. I loved every second! I've been waiting over a year to try out SoulCycle and it didn't disappoint. Though I must admit, I am still a Flywheel girl at heart. I was surprised by the differences in the feel of the class. SoulCycle is obviously much more dancy. We burned a few calories and were ready to dig into our Thanksgiving feast!
This might be one of my all time favorite family photos. I love Annie's giggly grin. It was just a good day. I am so lucky to be carrying this sweet baby boy Barker in my belly and felt especially thankful this holiday. A part of me wonders if I knew that so many trials were ahead. I had tears on that day thanking my Heavenly Father for my wonderful, wonderful life. SO many things have come together for James and I in the last year. Last holiday season was a bit rough as we had many questions as to what we wanted for our future. We've decided to stay in Charlotte for awhile longer and feel really great about our decision. James is happy here. I am happy here. And on this day I relished the feeling that for once in my life I wasn't yearning for the next step. I was finding happiness in my now. It was a feeling I remember relishing that day.
Ann made a beautiful, beyond beautiful Thanksgiving dinner. We had the Inuoeyes, Ryan, Tyler and the Behnke's over and had a great time laughing and being happy. I especially remember Lizzie being in such a wonderful place on that day. She was glowing. It would be our last holiday with our dear Lizzie and we are so thankful that it was one built around family, yummy food and good conversation. It was a little snowy and cold outside that morning but James, Tyler and Lizzie took Benji and Annie outside to play for a little bit and toss the football. I remember watching out the window as Lizzie tossed the football to our sweet Annie. Annie looks so much like her and radiates the same type of light Lizzie does. I am so thankful that she had that holiday with her.
While in DC we had Jim and Ann give Annie her presents for Christmas so that they could see her reaction when she opened them, specifically this one. I knew Ann had picked up this gorgeous Cinderella dress for Annie while in Paris and I really wanted her to see her face when she opened it. She was in heaven. Poppy went above and beyond this year as well. He went shopping all by himself to find her a darling duplo block set for girls. Annie was ecstatic and I think Poppy was even more excited! She sure is loved by her grandparents.
We got to spend quite a bit of time with Wess and Melissa, who were in town (from their new home in Cleveland) visiting the Fausts. It was such a treat. I am so glad to have a part of my STG family out east so that we can meet up on occasion. We adore these two. We went on a double date with them downtown to a yummy restaurant and then drove around to see a few of the monuments. We got out at the Jefferson to show them where we got engaged. It's by far our favorite monument, obviously. We were the only ones at the monument for about 15 minutes. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Then we hit up Shake Shack and headed back home. Good food, the best company and lots of good laughs.
I took this photo before we left for our drive back to Charlotte. I was quite emotional this trip. I am guessing it was due to pregnancy, but who knows. But I felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my wonderful second set of parents. Ann pretty much spent the whole weekend babysitting Annie. She adores her Nana Barker! Jim helped us make some decisions as we are looking into a bigger family car and was a great guiding force. I feel so fortunate that both James and I have parents that would do absolutely anything for us. I remember leaving this trip on a high, thinking how wonderful it was to have them in my life.
This trip is cemented in my mind forever as it would be the last time we would see our dear Lizzie. James and I have been overwhelmed by the thought that a huge reason we were supposed to stay in Charlotte longer than expected was so that we could have more time with Lizzie. It is likely we would not have gone to DC if were in California or somewhere else. We are so thankful for the extra time we have had with her during our time in Charlotte. This picture really gets me. Her eyes are so vibrant and so alive. I always loved how she'd curl up on that couch with Benji for a good visit. Lizzie was the first Barker that I knew, in our Alpine Village ward. She was the most beautiful, happy, smiley girl I have ever known. Even with all of her popularity at BYU, she was one of the kindest people I knew. She was always doing for others. She took me in as a sister while in Provo and showed me such love from the very start, just as she would with anyone. Despite all of the challenges she faced in this life, she did nothing but show unconditional love towards me. We had a special bond and many good conversations over the years. I especially remember her visiting for Annie's first birthday and how much that meant. She loved her niece Annie. James and I have had fun recounting our last visit to DC. We were able to go to the zoo with the family which wound up semi being a disaster because of the cold but Lizzie held Annie for most of the time and snapped lots of pictures with her. We went to dinner and after got locked out of a parking garage. It was quite comical as we tried to finagle our way into the garage. Things were always an adventure with Lizzie. At one point Lizzie, Allison and Ryan set up a little obstacle coarse for Annie at the Barkers house.. They'd bounce her on their knees and let her do airplane. Annie was a giggling machine! Our last memory was saying goodbye to her as she left to go home Saturday night. We were laughing about how concerned everyone was about Benji sleeping over with Lizzie and we gave her a giant hug as she left the house. It was such a happy goodbye. It was light hearted, giggly and perfect. What a wonderful Thanksgiving it was.
Barker Family Christmas Kickoff
Since we were traveling a lot for the holidays this year we decided to do our Barker Christmas Kickoff day one week before Thanksgiving, so we could enjoy the tree a little bit longer. Annie woke up to her old friend Buddy the elf (who I originally named Barnard, but James vetoed it). Buddy brought her Christmas jammies to wear for the season. She couldn't get over buddy and kept saying "oh - he's so cuuuute." We read her the book and watched the little Elf on the Shelf movie to try and help her understand not to touch Buddy (it wasn't all that successful).
That afternoon we went to the mall for a little Christmas paroozing and to meet Santa. It was perfect because there was no line for Santa before Thanksgiving. Annie wore my dress that I wore on Santa's lap 24 years ago. Everyone was GUSHING over her dress and I was happy to see it was still in style. She as the belle of the ball at Santa. The afternoon before we had done some Christmas crafting and painted a picture for Santa. Annie waltzed right up to Santa and gave him her painting. She told him she wanted a "crib for Baby Lulu and a choo choo train."
After the mall we came home for some snuggle time and a nap. Then it was off to pick out our tree at the traditional Charlotte Queens Road location, Simpsons Farm. This is where we got our tree last year and have loved making it a yearly tradition. We picked out the perfect little number with Annie's help. She loved watching it get tied to the top of the car and it all seemed so magical this year. We brought her in the house and got it all set up. Daddy helped us get some lights on the tree before heading to a movie with some friends while Annie and I spent the evening trimming the tree. Annie especially loved laying out all of the ornaments this year. She was truly in heaven. It was a simple tree but boy did it bring us a lot of joy this year. I felt a special excitement for the Christmas season as I was carrying a little boy. It was a magical start to our Christmas season.
Ballet at Covenant Presbyterian
Hillary and I signed the girls up for ballet at Covenant Presbyterian through Launch Your Kid, since we both worked or contracted with them in the past. The girls looked forward to Monday night and loved being with each other. In the beginning they got into a little trouble because they weren't listening too well. We had to give them pep talks each week and Hillary and I eventually had to go downstairs so they weren't further distracted by their Mamas. It was a hoot. I love these two mini pistol personalities together. I loved watching Annie learn her ballet positions and how to flex and point. She was a great little ballerina and really excelled in class. Classes ended in November with a parent watch day. Proud of my little pink ballerina!
October According to my iPhone
This is one HUGE dump. And some of these things really deserve their own post. But in an attempt to get caught up, I am running with it.
Halloween joy school. They loved "J is for Jack-o-Lantern" day.
After big fights over the crib, Annie slept her first night in her big girl bed. I could hardly believe she really did it and guessed she'd be in my bed all night. This transitions as so much easier than I expected. I think she was just ready. At first we kept her crib in her room and just let her sleep in the office/nursery on this bed. But after several weeks, we made the swap. She's never looked back since.
I started to show. But looking back at this now makes me laugh. I'd kill to look like my 18 week self again.
I ate this nearly every day of my second trimester.
We went to Meet the Mormon's with a bunch of friends. I loved every second of it. We topped it off with Pinkberry, which has since closed. Sad day! It was a perfect date night.
This is one of my favorite photos. Sister Eisenhower lived not to far from us and often needed help grocery shopping after a surgery. Annie and I had the blessing of helping her a few times and it was the first time I really got to teach Annie about "service." I loved hearing Annie talk about how service makes us feel good. We took her to church that morning and my heart nearly burst as she reached up to hold Sister Eisenhower's hand. 1 point for team Mom!
Swimming lessons continued with Miss Kristen at Charlotte Swim Academy. We miss her so much *(she changed jobs - but we still love CSA) and are so proud of Annie's progress in the pool. We are hopeful she will be able to jump in, do three strokes and flip to her back to breath before the summer. We still have a ways to go but are so proud of all she has accomplished so far.
Again, these photos make me laugh. I thought I was so huge. Sigh.
Annie got really excited for the trip when these shirts arrived! I have some fun videos of her in the bath saying that Papa was turning 2, so we were going to have a party. I am certain that age would make him feel really good.
Annie learned the beauty of falling asleep with a good book!
James was pretty swamped in September/October this year so we took full advantage of a beautiful fall day with Daddy home and visited Hodges Farm. Annie loves the animals there. She was especially excited to feed the miniature horse "salad" aka grass. That was until he semi bit her hand, which scared me quite a bit. We encouraged her to feed him again and she conquered her fears. It was one of those picture perfect days.
We had ballet class with Lily every Monday and Annie and I would often meet up with Rachel and Avery after for Chipotle or go to Crisp for dinner. I love my little buddy,
Flying into California. Annie did so great that trip! I was beyond proud of her! Even when Mom nearly lost her cookies several times on the flight. She was so pooped by the end of the day. It was almost 1 am her time by the time we got to the hotel. She was a trooper.
We had a blast playing with Kourtney and Jessie and Nate at Strands Beach.
We tried to practice trick or treating and even took her bucket for a ride around the neighborhood on a scooter. Annie was a hoot this day.
R is for Rainbow! I had most of this stuff on hand. It was a fun joy school day for me. I love this stage of motherhood.
I got this puzzle for $2 at a consignment sale and it has been the most played with toy in our home. Annie did this puzzle about 20 times a day for a few weeks. The "crab puzzle" is a hit.
I am certain that some of these may be from another month, but I am rolling with the punches. I had a "S is for Snow" joy school day at my house too. Kirby had her nephew with her so she brought them up to my place. It was quite the circus as we made snow out of baking soda and conditioner and it ended up all over my house. But the kids did love it.
We also made snowmen pizza. Annie's wound up looking a little like ET. You win some, you lose some.
Annie loved the changing and falling leaves and loved collecting them outside our house in her basket.
This girls weekend really deserves a post of it's own. My close friends Alli and Sarah came into Charlotte for a girls weekend and it was one for the books! We did lots of eating, shopping, more eating, more shopping and spent the night at the Ritz after seeing So You Think You Can Dance Uptown. James stayed with Annie and it was just what I needed. We even drove to Asheville for a tasty dinner. These girls are worth their weight in gold. Talking with them in the car for hours on end changed me and made me a better person. It made me miss my sweet Annie and cherish being a Mom. I talked so much that weekend that I COMPLETELY lost my voice. It was a hoot. Oh, and I tried fried pickles. Actually, quite delicious. But maybe it's just the pregnancy talking!
Charlotte in the fall is my very favorite. I could drive these streets allllll day and see the vibrant colors. I have really fallen for this city of ours. These colors make me yearn for the leaves to pop on the trees. I love this green, green place that we live!
One Saturday in October it was unseasonably cold for CLT. James was working so Annie and I trekked to Starbucks for a hot cocoa and steamer. I wound up spilling it all over myself and it ended up being quite hilarious. When we got home I wanted to take a little selfie to document but all Annie wanted was a selfie of her and Aurora, and then me and Aurora. These pictures are so embarrassing but I couldn't resist. I can just hear her now saying "say cheeeeese Mama."
I had the chance to do an achievement days activity on modesty. Those achievement days girls are truly the best! It made me realize how much I love fashion and really hope to teach Annie a good, healthy love for fashion and modesty. We had lots of starbursts and I ate my weight in them. It was a busy day as I then bustled off to a Charlotte Smarty Pants dinner. Thank goodness for a good babysitter that night.
And one last hysterical pregnancy photo. I think I must have been about 21 weeks here.
ANNNND that's October in a nutshell. Phew. On to November.

Typing skipping
mystic_2008May 15, 2014
I am working on a lap top with Windows 7 and am having a terrible time with the letters that I am typing jumping around on the page. If I don't look at the screen all the time then the letters that I have been writing is some place else. I had a computer geek in the other day, but he did not know what to make out of this. Has any one got any suggestions??? Grace

The Detroit Lions are struggling this season; with a 4-5 record they currently sit in the cellar of the brutal NFC North. All Pro wide receiver Calvin Johnson has only two touchdowns this year after a season in which he scored 16. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, after throwing 41 touchdowns in 2011, has only 11 so far this year. Lions fans, obviously disappointed after a year in which their team appeared to be a team on the rise, have let the team know in various ways how they feel, whether it's booing at home games or commenting on a social media outlet like Facebook or Twitter. For Lions wide receiver Titus Young, he isn't going to just stand aside while fans bash the Lions. Earlier today, he let Lions fans know what he thinks of those criticizing the team: Are fans really jumping off the Lions bandwagon? This season there certainly isn't one to jump off, but for those Lions fans who are loyal year-in and year-out, they are well within their right to criticize their team. It's not like a fan doesn't want their team to succeed, but when their team falls short of expectations, fans have every right to boo, criticize, or point out bad play. It doesn't mean they aren't fans anymore; it just means they care. If your fans stop caring enough to point out your bad play, Titus, then they really have jumped off your bandwagon!

Tomorrow Will Be Eleven Years
Tomorrow is Saturday October 27. On Saturday October 27 2001 I returned from morning grocery shopping with a terrible headache. I'd been having headaches since April, my doctor thought it was my inner ears and prescribed somerthing for dizziness and vertigo. Upon my return from shopping, I went in the bathroom with a full bladder. As I sat, I felt a sudden feeling of extreme dizziness come over me and I started to fall. I leaned away from the tub and lay down on a small carpet and fell asleep. Hours later my husband found me unconscious on the floor. He called the paramedics. My blood pressure was 200 over 125, I had had a hemmorragic stroke. Spent six weeks in 2 hospitals recovering. They found I had both high blood pressure and failing kidneys. Managed to return to work in early 2002 but couldn't really focus and I went out on disability within 3 years. Started hemo dialysis in August 2007, had a successful kidney transplant Friday January 13 2012. I consider myself to have three birthdays I celebrate-my original day in November when I came into this world, Oct 27 when I nearly died and January 13 when my life was saved by a miracle, an organ donor and a skilled surgeon.
You are certainly a miracle! Having come very close to dying myself, I know how that alters your outlook on life. I guess your mansion in Heaven isn't ready yet, or there's more for you to do here, for which we are thankful and hope to have you around for a long time.
I have missed updates on the latest surgery on your arm--was the third time the charm? And is everything still great from the transplant? Hugs!
Jannie, Happy Birthday x3! You are truly an inspiration. With all that you had been going through, you always managed to visit the KT and be a strong support for those in need. Hugs to you!
I see Dink post often on the cooking forum. I have been tempted to ask her there, but don't want to call her out. Sure miss her here.

The Ascent also features an internal collar and a drawcord at the hood to seal out any cold drafts, and a zippered stash pocket that's perfect for headlamps. It comes with a full-length zipper on either the right or left side, and a compression stuff sack for backpacking and a cotton storage sack to keep the bag prime for years.

Rab Hydrophobic Down
In the early days, Rab Carrington built his brand around down insulation, and we still see down manufacturing as a core part of the Rab brand today.
All of our down insulated products are filled with the highest quality Hydrophobic Down, developed in conjunction with Nikwax. The hydrophobic treatment is applied at source and is seen as the next step in our progression in down manufacturing.
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love this bag! Warm, packs down, good fit, hood fits snug. I'm tall so I bought the men's and the length is great! I slept outside at about 9,000 feet and was wind/moisture resistant. Also used it at about 10,000 ft and stayed warm on cold nights - but not too warm. It's tough and has continued to hold up well! Excited to get this out on many more adventures!

Climate networking in Budapest
I am in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, which currently holds the EU Presidency. An attractive city, these give a brief impression, taken during my coffee break.
The European Journalism Centre on behalf of the European Commission is holding a conference for journalists here. Today we were focusing on energy and climate and in particular the EU's new road map for "moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050″, which was released last week.
It's really interesting to meet and network here with so many journalists from eastern and central European countries and to hear their different perspectives on climate change and communicating it. Both informally on the sidelines and during the sessions, the huge differences in living standards and finances between some countries become available. One colleague said it was impossible to persuade poor farmers or other rural residents in Roumania to invest in insulating their houses to make them more "climate friendly" when they didn't even have the money to buy fuel to heat their homes in the first place.
So when it comes to the EU's proposed road map for reducing fuel consumption, clearly the views in different regions are going to be very different. So are the media and attitudes towards environmental issues in general.
Artur Runge-Metzger is the Director of the DG Climate Action for the European Commission. He presented the new plan, which he stresses is in no way binding, but designed to provoke debate.
It sets out ways key economic sectors could achieve an overall 80% reduction in the EU's emissions by 2050 (compared to 1990). The member states will be discussing and evaluating it between now and June.It will also be interesting to see how different industries and businesses react. The positive thing is, I find, it stresses that it is possible to be competitive while still reducing emissions (admittedly using some technologies not everybody would accept as safe and clean, more later)
WWF's Director of Global Energy Stephan Singer is also here. He welcomed the road map as a good start but (as you might expect) said it was "too timid". He sees it as positive that the EU has come out with a document like this at all and that it focuses on domestic measures to reduce emissions.
The EU's figures of course include nuclear and were published just before the Japanese reactor accidents. I had to ask the question of how the disaster is affecting the EU's approach. At fist Mr Runge-Metzger was reluctant to answer, saying the Commission respects the member states' individual policies on this. But later he told me of course the accident was putting a new spotlight on nuclear and might well influence some countries to change their minds. It clearly changes the situation.
In a talk with my colleague Pavel Antonov, a Bulgarian journalist now researching into climate change and the media, he drew my attention to a comment in the Guardian by George Monbiot. I was flabbergasted when I read it. He has changed tack and says he is now for nuclear because the side-effects of the disaster have not been too bad, considering. I find that unbelievable and I think it is too early to come out with that. Or are you just trying to provoke us George? The latest press release I just received from Greenpeace expresses deep concern about the radioactive contamination of Tokyo's drinking water and the official information policy surrounding the accident. These are very difficult times all round. More tomorrow. Tonight we have a discussion on covering climate change in the media and differences in different media, different countries, etc.

Chernobyl , Fukushima and "climate-friendly" energy
It's hard to concentrate on other things with a potentially major nuclear catastrophe on the horizon in Japan. I interviewed the head of a Greenpeace team of experts who were in Chernobyl looking into the lasting after-effects of the disaster 25 years ago when the news started to come in from Japan. She described the looks on people's faces as they heard it and says their expressions told her "we know what that area of Japan will look like in 25 years time." Deformed children, contaminated foodstuffs…
You would think this latest disaster would really put governments off nuclear power, which of course the pro-atomic lobby has been selling as "climate-friendly". Germany's current government had upturned the previous government's momentous decision to phase out nuclear power and extended the life of a lot of old reactors. Now Chancellor Merkel has had to partially abandon her policy, declaring a three-month moratorium on the extension… Sounds complicated? (More background on the dw website)There's a huge debate going on here on whether Germany should go it alone on abandoning nuclear. It reminds me of a conversation I had with Professor Carlos Duarte, a leading scientist involved in he EU\'s "Arctic Tipping Points" programme. (Listen to the story on how the Arctic is setting off alarm bells for the global climate on Living Planet.) When it comes to halting climate change, he told me the time for governments to wait and see who will make the first move is over, somebody needs to go ahead unilaterally and take the first steps. I\'d say the same applies to nuclear power. I wonder how some of the key figures who shifted from an anti- to a pro-nuclear stance because of the urgency of climate change are feeling now?
I hope this latest catastrophe will push support for renewables. But of course there is the danger that countries opting out of nuclear will burn more fossil fuels. We seem to be caught in a very vicious circle…

Nuclear catastrophe and the climate
I have been following with increasing concern the developments in Japan. In between trying to keep up with what's happening and interviewing experts, I went to the studio to record a story planned earlier for this week's Living Planet programme on how the Arctic can be seen as an early warning system for the global climate. Clearly, the risk of a huge radiation disaster is overshadowing everything else at the moment – including a worrying press release I received from the Alfred Wegener Institute for polar and marine research about a huge ozone hole over the Arctic.
I find myself wondering what effect events in Japan will have on the ever-pressing need to reduce emissions to try to slow down climate change. The engineeer working with me in the studio on the Arctic piece surprised me by saying "the disaster in Japan should make sure there is more attention put on these climate stories". I had been thinking to myself it would probably distract attention from the climate debate, although it could have one positive side-effect if it means more resources going into safe alternative sources of energy. Maybe I have been getting caught up too much in technical details. For the young man in the studio, climate change and a nuclear disaster have one thing in common: they pose a threat to the future of the planet. Good food for thought. Thanks PK4 this pm.

Global warming or climate change? Get the term right!
(Glacier covered to prevent melting in Switzerland, 2010)
I came across some interesting research results about how people's scepticism about climate change relates to what term is used to describe it.
A study conducted by the University of Michigan says a lot of Americans are sceptical about "global warming", but fewer of them are sceptical about "climate change". "Wording matters" is the message from the lead author Jonathon Schuldt from the UM Dept. of Psychology. The results indicate that 74% of people though the problem was real if asked about the world's temperature changing and a "phenomenon called climate change". But the percentage was reduced to 68 when it was referred to as "global warming".
This seems very plausible to me. A lot of people will make comments about a "lack of global warming" if you talk to them during an extremely cold period. But the more neutral expression "climate change" also describes cold spells or increased extreme weather events as a result of the overall changes to the planet.
The study also has some interesting conclusions about differences between Democrats and Republicans in terms of use of language and response to different terms. You can read the abstract for yourselves online in the Public Opinion Quarterly.
Let me just give you one encouraging conclusion.
"The good news is that Americans may not be as polarized on the issue as previously though. The extent of the partisan divide on this issues depends heavily on question wording", says one of the authors, Norbert Schwarz.

Seeds in transit: from Australia to Svalbard
Ice blog followers may remember my account of a visit to the Svalbard seed vault, which preserves a wide variety of seeds safe under the permafrost of an Arctic mountain for posterity. The story is also online at DW's environment website.
The idea is that saving a wide diversity of crop seeds could help humankind survive in the future in spite of any disasters occurring – or, for instance, to help agriculture cope with the challenges of a changing climate.
Well the vault has just celebrated its third birthday with a bumper delivery of seeds from different parts of the world. For the first time ever, seeds have been delivered from Australia, just about as far away as you can get from the Arctic. Australia is one of the areas of the world that are particularly vulerable to climate change. It has had to cope with an increasing number of extreme weather events, droughts and floods. The seeds brought to Svalbard were the furthest travelled of the more than 600,000 samples now stored at the vault.
Most of Australia's food crops come from outside the country, and so are dependent on global crop diversity.
There's more information on the website of the Global Crop Diversity Trust. See also "Wild Relatives can save our food supply" on why it's important to preserve crop seeds for posterity.

Once again, Muskego's senior taxi service will be able to finish the year in the black with the help of $5,000 from the city on top of thousands of dollars from local businesses and community groups and a subsidy by Waukesha County.
On Tuesday, Muskego approved the $5,000 contribution from funds left over from tax incremental finance districts that have met their goals and are now closed.
While the city has provided funding from closed TIFs almost every year since 2008, Alderman Dan Soltysiak called for the city to set up a separate fund that could be budgeted to meet such expenses if groups that provide community services get into a bind. By the time they come to the city they would likely find that every city dollar is already spoken for, he said.
That suggestion will be discussed soon during budget development for next year.

Gift Idea's - We barely know them
We are going to a wedding in several weeks.
It is my FIL's wife's daughter. We see them several times a year but don't really know them.
I'm looking for some interesting ideas that don't cost much. We are going with my SIL and BIL and together want to spent about $100.00
They do have a registry but all the cheaper items have been bought. I have never been to their home so I have no idea what their style is. I asked my FIL's wife but she tells me to look at the registry.
They are in their early thirties and have lived together for the past year.
We may just get them a gift certificate to Home Depot but I hate it when they know how much I spent.
Any ideas?
Or look at the registry and see what that tells you. What style of china did they pick? What colors? Maybe you can find a serving piece that would look nice w/ it.
I bought a plum-colored glass serving bowl for a friend who'd chosen a fruit-and-leaves type of modern-lined china.
I bought floral placemats to go w/ a sage green dinnerware w/ curvy tendrils on the edges.
I've always given a gorgeous mohair lap blanket for those occasions...perhaps a bit more than $100, but they do go on sale...and a good bottle of wine, a movie rental coupon, and they have a nice snuggly evening!
If they have a garden, then any number of tools and supplies would be great... a beautiful emboidered or traditional plain tablecloth and matching napkins is nice, as most people don't purchase that for themselves when they're starting out....and yes...I agree with both gals when they suggested to get 'ideas' from the registry. Match other useful items and goodness knows, just because they want that $300 queen sheet set, it doesn't mean they won't appreciate that $100 good quality white hotel-type set! A classic! Don't forget blankets! Give another in the colors of their room or a neutral...they'll need them for guests, too!

Our first official book selection! This book was suggested by Jo and we agreed at the last meeting that it would comprise the topic of one of the three book sessions to run in September. If you are interested in joining this discussion, please RSVP.
You Can't Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom, Nick Cohen
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Communism, and the advent of the Web which allowed for even the smallest voice to be heard, everywhere you turned you were told that we were living in an age of unparalleled freedom. You Can't Read This Book argues that this view is dangerously naive. From the revolution in Iran that wasn't, to the Great Firewall of China and the imposition of super-injunctions from the filthy rich protecting their privacy, the traditional opponents of freedom of speech - religious fanaticism, plutocratic power and dictatorial states - are thriving, and in many respects finding the world a more comfortable place in the early 21st century than they did in the late 20th.
You can purchase this book here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Cant-Read-This-Book/dp/0007308906/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344527338&sr=8-1 (also available in kindle format and cheaper from other book sellers if you click on "new" or "second hand" options)
Reminder: If you RSVP to this session and have any book suggestions for October, please post it on this page so that other attendees can have the chance to consider it in advance of this sessions.
Hi there,
If you have RSVP'd yes, could you please let me know if you can still make it, or if you cannot, please also let me know.

Hi all,
Nice to see a few people have signed up! I also received the book this week so looking forward to reading it.
I wanted to see if there were any suggestions for good, quiet, centrally-located venues that do good food (not a big ask, surely?) I really liked the look of the one Polly suggested but they do not open on a Sunday so if anyone has any ideas, let me know.
I know of a great pub in Stratford which doesn great food and is quiet, although a bit run down. With the Olympics, there are now good transport links into Stratford but it may be a bit out of your way. What do you think?
Any suggestions welcome!

On March 30, 2014, the Focus Group for Camera Basics voted to have meetings every other Sunday at 1 pm at the Attic.
We got about half way thru the presentation on "lens" and will pick up the 2nd half at the next meeting...April 13. Everything will remain pretty much the same, with the exception that this FG will meet every other week instead of once a month.
Camera Basics:
We're off to a great start...using the John Greengo Series, which consists of a multi-week video program. We will stretch this over several months and when we finish with the series, we'll see where we are as far as a group and what the needs are.
Videos last approximately an hour; then we'll open for Q&A. Don't be afraid to ask questions...
Camera Basics is not just for "newbies", but for anyone who feels they have never mastered the basics, or feel uncomfortable, or struggling with how much they know...
Sundaresh Ramanathan, who many of you know, will lead the discussion. The meetings will consist of both video and hands on.
Bring your camera and manual. Any type camera is ok. Between now/then, attempt to read and understand your manual best you can.
Sundaresh developed a Facebook website, "Camera Basics", just for members of this focus group" so you will have a project to work on after class.
Assignments, photos, discussions re this class only will be posted on this site so you can have everything you need in one location. (Please do continue to view our other sites, but this site will be specific to this focus group only.)
Below is the 2009 schedule Sundaresh had, and will be the one we'll use:
