Editor's Notebook,
by Bill Blauvelt
Most weeks topics for this notebook are drawn from my reading, conversations or activities. This week none of those traditional sources have worked.
Rita and I played hooky from work on Friday and went to Osborne to visit with our nephew and his family who were there visiting his grandparents.
Garrett is now a practicing large animal veterinarian. Since last seeing him, he has moved from the Boston area to a small community in Garrett County, Maryland, known as Accident. While I often have trouble remembering where people live, I have found it easy to remember his home county is now the same as his first name and who can forget an unusual name like Accident. Accident, Maryland has a ring I find easy to remember. Much like the name of a cousin's receptionist.
When a newspaper reporter asked my cousin who was establishing a practice in a new community the names of his staff members, he listed their names without incident until he came to the receptionist, Wylean Novickie. Now I don't have a clue how her name is spelled and would have asked to have it spelled but spelling didn't bother the reporter. Instead he repeatedly asked to have the name repeated until in desperation he said, "Don't you know the name of your receptionist? Is it Wylean or is it Vickie?
While we were outside with the children, ages 3 and 5, playing on a merry-go-round Garrett's grandfather had built with iron salvaged from a Baldwin combine, a text message was received reporting 4 inches of snow had fallen that day on Accident and school had been called off.
Garrett said he wasn't sorry to have missed this year's record breaking snowfall reported in the Boston area.
Art Linkletter wrote a book based on a popular segment of his House Party radio and television program where he interviewed youngsters. And Garrett had a suitable story for a similar book. While preparing for their trip to Kansas, one of his boys asked "Is the baby coming along?" The boys are aware their mother expects to add a baby sister to the family later this year but they apparently didn't understand whether or not Baby Sis came to Kansas was optional.
Saturday three of our newspaper associates went kayaking on Lovewell Reservoir. It was a beautiful day for such an adventure and I am looking forward to a similar trip with my canoe. After playing hookey Friday ,I was busy with catch up work and couldn't go to the lake.
The recent nice weather has given me garden fever but with the cold weather we've had mid-week, I'm glad I haven't had time to put a lot of seeds and plants out. Thanks to Rita's work Saturday afternoon our garden does contain a few broccoli plants and onion sets. Potatoes have been sliced and are now in the hardening stage awaiting planting.
Hopefully, I'll soon have time for some serious gardening for I've been making plans.
Tuesday's rain reminded me I also need to reset my rain gauge. While the weather service people were in my back yard earlier this winter, they suggested some modifications that would bring the placement of my gauge closer to the national standard. Tuesday I had 5 hundreds more than the official Superior gauge mounted in Rick Disney's yard. That was in line with what they told me to expect because of where mine was located.
I have two CoCoRahs gauges. I plan to conduct an experiment this summer. I'll leave my original gauge where it was last summer and set the second one according to weather bureau standards and see which one reads the nearest to the official gauge in Disney's yard. My gauge is currently mounted where it is easy to read at eye level. The weather service standard calls for the gauge to be mounted at four feet and farther from my house.
In the current location, on a summer day I can dash out in my barefeet and check the rainfall. Where they want it, I'll have to take time to first put on shoes. That doesn't sound like a big deal but my dream list includes a remote reading gauge that I can read while seated at my desk. Such devices are made but the weather service hasn't approved their design.
On a different note, this week's obituary column contains the notice of the death of Helen Sankey.
The notice reminded me of a time about 40 years ago when I was in Republic to take pictures of an event which included a greased pig contest. After the youngsters had taken their turns trying to catch the pigs, two women asked if I ever took pictures that didn't appear in the paper. They explained they wanted to try to catch the pigs but didn't want their picture in the paper and didn't want the entire community watching.
I've kept my word and never published the pictures but since I didn't have anything to write about this week, it was tempting to use those pictures to fill this space.
But their secret is probably safe. After all these years, I doubt I could find the pictures. Especially since I file negatives by the date the pictures appeared in the paper. Even when I want to, it is nearly impossible to find a picture that was never published.
A Different Slant, by Chuck Mittan
My wife's father, Bob Mulcahy, was featured recently in an
article that appeared both in the Omaha World-Herald's print edition
and their online edition. What did he do to deserve such an honor?
Nothing, but he's Irish, and the focus of the article was the
large Irish-American community in Omaha. The article was written
in preparation for St. Patrick's day.
In addition to showing the writer a lot of photos of his Irish ancestors, he was able to show him his grandfather's shillelagh (pronounced shuh-LAY-lee), which he explained his grandfather carried as a theft deterrent when making deliveries with the horse-drawn beer wagon. Which were the thieves after, the beer or the money? Apparently, it depended on the thief.
A shillelagh is a wooden walking stick carried by Irishmen. Maybe Irishwomen, too, but I can't confirm that. They're usually quite ornamentally carved and have a large knob or knot at the top. Lest you think a slender walking stick does not make much of a theft deterrent, you should know they are actually designed and intended as weapons as well as walking sticks.
Shillelaghs are traditionally made from either blackthorn wood (Prunus spinosa) or oak. Wood from the root was prized as it was less prone to cracking during use. The wood was smeared with butter or lard, and placed up a chimney to cure, giving the shillelaghs their typical black, shiny appearance. Shillelaghs were often hollowed at the heavy "hitting" end and filled with molten lead to increase the weight beyond the typical two pounds; this sort of shillelagh is known as a "loaded stick." They are commonly the length of a walking stick (distance from the floor to one's wrist with elbow slightly bent). Most also have a heavy knob for a handle which can be used for striking as well as parrying and disarming an opponent. Many shillelaghs also have a strap attached, similar to commercially made walking sticks, to place around the holder's wrist.
The name, an Anglophone corruption of the Irish "sail eille," appears to have become convolved with that of the village and barony of Shillelagh, County Wicklow. The shillelagh was originally used for settling disputes in a gentlemanly manner like pistols in colonial America, or the katana in Japan. Modern practitioners of "bataireacht" study the use of the shillelagh for self-defense and as a martial art.
I've watched videos of skilled shillelagh users in action on the internet, and there's no way I'm robbing a beer wagon if both driver and guard are armed with shillelaghs. Not even if the wagon is delivering Guinness.
Life, Beyond the Ranch, by Tonya R. Pohlman
I found myself watering six recently potted and desperately
thirsty starter houseplants at 3 a.m. The plants were lucky I
had trouble getting back to sleep and noticed them while making
a fresh cup of coffee (because who doesn't drink more coffee when
they can't sleep?). I knew this would happen. I tell myself
I'll try harder every time I scatter the dried remains of another
houseplant to the wind.
This is the curse I bear of the indoor houseplant brown thumb.
My outdoor plants and flowers are usually well nurtured. But outdoors is where I prefer to be in spring and summer. And caring for my outdoor plants is a good excuse for me to wander aimlessly in the backyard for hours looking purposeful but not really doing much.
If you see a healthy green plant indoors at our home, chances are it's fake, and I have no shame in admitting that.
Indoor plants are just too quiet and I forget they are there. When they genetically engineer houseplants that speak, or better yet, beat on the bathroom door when they want something or nothing, then the likelihood of live houseplant survival under my care will improve.
I'm not saying the only reason my children survived is because they were great at bathroom door beating (and at least one of them, now in her 20s, still is), but I do think their instincts to never leave me alone in the bathroom greatly increased the likelihood that I would not just lock myself in there and stay, until they graduated from high school.
We now have no human children as permanent residents in our home. They did in fact grow up, graduate high school and move on toward adulthood. One of them most likely has the bathroom to himself. The other one, my daughter, with a little one of her own, is learning the luxury of bathroom alone time. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't deter her from reverting to childhood instincts when she visits. After all these years, and a child of her own, she still does not seem to notice the distinctively sharp note of irritation in my voice when she persistently knocks on our bathroom door and I finally respond with, "What!?"
Aside from the occasional visit from my daughter and her family, and with Marty and I being the only human elements at home, one would think bathroom alone time would no longer be an issue. One would think.
Marty's dog, Ben, does not like closed doors. If you are behind a closed door and Ben notices, your chances of remaining alone behind that door are slim. Our smaller dog, Bear, usually doesn't care if we are behind closed doors without him, unless he thinks we have food and aren't sharing with him. As we normally do not take food into the bathroom, Bear usually doesn't bother us in there.
But let there be thunder...
Awakened by the roar of thunder with a rapidly approaching storm early Tuesday, I rolled over in bed, savoring the idea of a few more hours of sleep with the unusual and welcome treat of a rainy spring storm.
And then I felt the heavy-weighted steps and desperate nudging of a trembling and not-so-fierce Bear. I wouldn't have minded Bear's need for cuddling and reassurance, but the closer he wedged himself against me, the more he aimed his breathing directly at me, the less thrilled I was with morning dog breath. As we proceeded into our morning, Marty and I each took our turn entertaining Bear during our time in the bathroom. If Bear could have grabbed us around the ankles and held on, I am certain he would have. Luckily for Bear, the storm subsided. The moisture is left outside our home was needed and welcomed. Inside our home, the welfare and future of my fledgling starter houseplants remains to be seen.

Alex Gibney's film, Going Clear, documents the horror of disconnection and how it is used as a control mechanism in scientology. It is most dramatically demonstrated in his film with the story of Sara Goldberg. Her son Nick had a friend who was friends with me. Nick would not disconnect from his friend, so his mother was told to disconnect from her son. She was given an impossible choice -- if she didn't disconnect from him, she would be declared an SP and her daughter would be forced to disconnect from her. This is not a "personal choice" (as the church so often proclaims). Sara has the … [Read more...]
While a great deal of attention and interest has been focused on Alex Gibney's scientology documentary, let's not forget the rave reviews for Allen Barton's Disconnection. Every person I know who has attended absolutely raves about it. I was very bummed to discover that there was no performance on any of the nights I was in LA last week. I am hoping it is such a success that it gets a much deserved wider release. Here is a sampling of press reaction: Barton is a clever enough writer to keep his audience fiercely attentive… And he's fortunate in having a director, Joel Polis, … [Read more...]
Kirk Radandt
It is with a very heavy heart that I report the passing of our dear friend Kirk Radandt yesterday afternoon. To say this was untimely, unexpected and horribly premature would be to understate the sadness of it by a country mile. I have met few people on this earth who were as happy, friendly and just fun to spend time with as Kirk. His sense of humor was sharp and displayed itself often. His love of children made him a favorite of our sons and the 3 adorable daughters of his beloved Gayle's son Aaron (Tony Ortega covered Gayle and Aaron's story on his blog). I have long held a measuring … [Read more...]
Disconnection Redux — Who Qualifies To Be Declared
Another in the ongoing Sunday "Redux Series" reissuing earlier postings that still seem relevant. This one from 1 June 2013. The descent into madness has continued unabated since... It's crazier today than it was 18 months ago, and there are more and more people speaking out as a result. This is the second in a series of postings examining the subject of Scientology disconnection practices. See Disconnection -- Scientology's Nasty Secret. Who qualifies for disconnection? The simple answer is "anyone deemed an undesirable." It used to be true that one disconnected from … [Read more...]
Disconnection — The Play
2015 is kicking off in grand style. Allen Barton's new play opens on 24 January, the evening before the premiere of Alex Gibney's documentary at Sundance. Anyone who does not know Allen, he is a highly acclaimed playwright (I include at the end of this posting some of the many kudos for his last play). You may recognize his name from this story on Tony Ortega's blog about Mario Fenninger. Allen has translated his experience into a new play which promises to be a tour de force. This is what Allen has to say about it: DISCONNECTION was inspired directly by my experience … [Read more...]
Disconnection and Desegregation
Because I have other things planned this weekend, I am cheating a bit and reprinting an earlier blog posting. I feel it is important, perhaps there will be some who have not read it before, and in my estimation the message bears repeating. I may make this a regular feature as I look back and there have been a lot of material published over the last few years.... It also seems specially appropriate on this weekend of IAS celebrations where the sheeple have been regaled with tall stories of the magnificent human rights work of the IAS in "guaranteeing freedom for all" and the church has … [Read more...]
More Disconnection Hypocrisy
A Special Correspondent alerted me to this, and I happened to have additional information that made it even more interesting. He originally set forth the proposition: Wanting to stay connected to one's own parent, spouse or child can earn you an SP declare and expulsion from Scientology, but soliciting sex from a minor and going to prison will not, even if you're a former Sea Org Member. Great premise, based on the facts our Special Correspondent had. But there is more to this story that makes it even more noteworthy. Everyone knows there is a double standard for disconnection in … [Read more...]
"One Family Torn Apart Is Too Many"
This is filed under the category unabashed hypocrisy. Also known as the the gospel of the church of scientology. Tony Ortega had this in his Sunday Funnies column, but it was sort of buried among all the other nuttiness that is rounded up each week. It didn't get much comment, but given the level of hypocrisy, I felt it deserved a little more attention. These people are, with a straight face, jumping on a campaign with a catchphrase "one family torn apart by war is too many." How about they get on board a campaign "one family torn apart by scientology is too many"? They could … [Read more...]
Bob and Sharon Graham
My name is Robert (Bob) Graham and I was a public member, in good standing with the church of Scientology for over 35 years. I reached the level of OT5 and Class 5 auditor before I left the organization, permanently in 2010. I have not previously spoken about my experiences in the church because my daughter and her family are still "in." I thought that we could work things out and keep the family unit in place but since my wife I and left, my daughter and her family, including our grandchildren, have all disconnected from us. I believe it is in the best interest, to let everyone know that the … [Read more...]
Enforced Disconnection — More Proof
My name is Sydney Osborne. I got in Scientology at the Denver Org in 1989 and was on staff as a sup and Director of Training from 1990-2002. I was on Mace-Kingsley Family Center staff (Scn field group) from 2004-2008 starting in Div 2, and later becoming the OES. I've posted on this blog a few times as XclassVStaff. I've known and worked with a lot of wonderful people in Scientology. The Church of Scientology continues to deny practicing disconnection, states there is no pressure from the church, and that it's voluntary on the part of its parishioners. I'd like to share my own recent … [Read more...]

"Connection Failure: Unable to connect to the PVP.net server.
Information regarding what may have caused this error can be found here.

Yes, I followed the link. Yes, I read the sticky. Yes, I followed all instructions. No, I'm not re-connected.
My router has been going insane the past 2 weeks, and I've been frequently getting disconnects - this has scared me, as I have no leaves on my record and do not wish to incur any. I will be buying a new router soon in hopes to fix the problem, but in the meantime, I have to make do. In any case, I had a disconnect during my last game, and it took probably 20 minutes to fix. When I tried to re-login, I'm getting the above error.
I have no idea what to do, now. :| I fear that I will have a leave on my record (After ~1300+ games) that will not ever disappear. Slightly more of a minor issue, but the game I'm trying to reconnect to may still be in progress - I feel bad for all involved in that game, but there's nothing I seem to be able to do about it.
I know 1 leave isn't the end of the world, but it's still frustrating to someone who has attempted to have a perfect record in that area.
EDIT: I just managed to log in - sure enough the game ended, and I have a leave now.

Smell Leads Police To 9.5 Tons Of Stolen Garlic
Originally published on Thu June 28, 2012 12:34 pm
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer with a culinary misadventure. Even before Austrian police pulled over three trucks near the Hungarian border yesterday, they could sense something kinky - make that stinky. The trucks had foreign license plates, were way overloaded and police did not need sniffer dogs to know what kind of contraband they'd captured. More than nine tons of stolen Spanish garlic, presumably bound for goulash. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Bass players get a bad wrap. They're always the butt of the jokes and rarely see the spotlight. I heard a joke awhile back that proves the point. The joke goes like this: "If a women is sleeping with a bass player she's really not sleeping with anyone in the band." Unlike vocalists, guitar players and even drummers, bassists seem to get no respect.
As a kid and even today I love making paper airplanes. I've spent hours and hours folding the perfect glider out of a single sheet of paper. I like coming up with new designs for stunts, distance and speed. Okay, so I'm a dork, so what! I'm also a big gun guy, I don't care what kind or type I love them all. So when I saw this video of an automatic paper airplane machine gun I was beyond excited. I'm geeked out!
Homemade guns are nothing new or illegal. It's perfectly legal to make your own guns, provided you follow the rules of law. This new desktop CNC machine makes it incredibly easy.

What a crazy week it has been. Tons of internet gold out there, I came across these nuggets.
Seems these days just about everyone is trying to cash in on their 10 or 15 minutes of internet fame. Some make it, others don't. So what separates the winners from the losers? Certainly talent and luck plays a part, but more than that great sites, blogs and channels have consultants and are managed by people who really know what we the people want.
I've always believed that one day animals would revolt and attempt a hostile takeover against mankind. The animal conspiracy as it's known has proof the animals are becoming more and more organized and are teaming up in preparation for an all out war! Recent surveillance shows just how serious the situation is.

Pruned Fan Palm not recovering from Winter!
I've got 2 (California Fan I believe) Palm trees here in my backyard in Austin, TX.
They're a few years old now, and I've had them for just over 3 years myself. They were about 5' tall planted and now are about 7' tall in the ground, to the top of the trunk. I love these Palms and they really help me pull off my "backyard oasis" I've got going...
Anyways, my landscaper came and pruned the palms just before Winter. They had a bunch of dead and almost-dead fronds but he pruned them so badly that it was just 5 or 6 sticking straight up. They looked like onions or something.
So then Winter set in. We had a couple of freezing nights but nothing too crazy. These Palms are supposedly VERY hearty here for Central TX, anyways.
Well, after/during the Winter, they kind of stopped growing and browned up. All of my neighbors' Palms did the same so I think/thought nothing of it.
They kind of stopped growing even as we got into Spring here. My landscaper came back and trimmed up all the brown fronds leaving basically nothing but a few green stalks. He seemed to know what he was doing and I figure as long as there are healthy roots, it should be OK.
Now it has been about 5 more weeks and my one palm has grown all of its new fronds up (about 5 or 6) and they are straight up and just now fanning out. It looks like an onion again but on its way back to a full palm tree very soon.
The other palm, however, is not doing so good. I checked on the browned/clipped frond legs that had been green previously. I pulled two of them out - they kind of just came out actually, and connected to the bottom was this big ball of what looked like puss. It was light brown/tan in color and it looked very wet and sticky, like sap but not clear at all.
There is now just one remaining semi-upright frond leg, clipped, sticking up and out of the tree. No more have popped up and this one is clipped so it won't grow anymore I'm guessing.
I don't know what to do to save it, but I'm worried I need to intervene or else it is already too late.
Any ideas??
I will try to get a pic posted later on if that helps!
I know this is the only forum on the web that is remotely helpful for garden/pool type questions.. You're a great bunch and thanks in advance for helping!!
Pour some hydrogen peroxide into the crown where the spears come out. It will help clear out the puss, and is the best method for spear pull. Give the palm some time, and hopefully the damage isn't too bad it can't recover. I had a pindo come back last year, and have a windmill that I am treating right now.
Seriously? Hydrogen peroxide? Is the idea that this will kill any bacteria in there and the tree will continue to make new fan leaves once it is cleaned up a bit, provided the roots and trunk are in good shape (they are) and it is getting plenty of light and water (it is) - is this correct? I guess I might as well try it, not sure what else I can try.
Once I pour and let it soak in, should I scoop anythign out of there? Should I put the one last remaining clipped branch? I think if I give it a light tug it will just come out as it is already, not sure it is really well connected at this point, but don't want to cause more undue stress either, just want to create a healthy top for this thing to keep growing!! :(
You may also want to try trunk cutting to remove the infected/rotted portion. Using a saw, cut the trunk horizontally a little at a time until you see solid tissue and no more pussy mush. Essentially, you will be cutting the top off of the tree, down to live growth, and then pour the peroxide on the live tissue. You can also google that method. Basically, you need to remove the rot, or more rot will develop.
It may be to late but I agree,the trunk cutting is your only option on the puss tree.
You won't kill it doing this,just cut a few inches at a time
until(as mentioned)you(hopefully)find live tissue.
It may be the center growth bud(meristem)is dead and rotted out.
With the amount of damage you describe there is really no other option.
I prefer to cut mine-high to low-north to south-meaning,
face the cut edge sloping down to the south,the cut should be on
and angle,not flat,like this.
If I do the tree cut, I just keep trimming like an inch at a time, until I see no more rot? And then a little peroxide on top of the live growth, just in case? What will it look like if it recovers, I mean will it still have one trunk, or will it split, or will it look all funky at that spot later on when the trunk has grown more? Thanks all!!
For one thing you can trim it as far down as the stuff
you pulled out was long.
If it ends up flat (as above)you really won't need any peroxide/fungicide as all the rot will be removed and
it will be exposed to light/fresh air.
If it grows out it will begin to go something like this-
Keep in mind these pics are of a small Trachy and this was
an extreme cut.

Depending on how much you have to cut/IF it comes back(a Washy)in your climate could look "normal" before the end of the year-surely by next.
Good luck!
Ok well my landscaper is the one responsible for this (I think) so I will have HIM come back out and do the cutting. It should only have to be cut about 4 or 6 inches based on your comments and seeing how long the spears I pulled out were. I put the HP on it today, probably half a bottle so maybe like 12 ounces. It is still sitting in there ever so slowly seeping into the top of the tree. Hopefully it penetrates deep enough to kill the rot.
I was thinking if it does kill the rot, do I still need to cut it? Right now it just looks like a "hollowpoint" ammo round (bowl at top) with a bunch of older cut branches formed around it at the top. No spears sticking out anymore. It's about 4 inches deep but the rot is likely down to 6 or even 8 inches. There's no light down there so not sure if the rot gets killed if it will come back or not. Trimming it will clean up the top and give me assurance there is no rot left over. BUT will trimming it change how thick the tree will grow? Like the tree now is about 6 feet tall from the mulch and about 2' diameter to 6" diameter at the top. It's hard to tell from the above trimming pics if the trunk has changed in size or not now??
Thanks so much you all!! This is great info!!
I have never cut into one of mine but with your cali. growing thicker and not being hairy like a trachy it may show some scaring for a while. My trachy is starting to show signs of recovery. Here it is at Christmas.
Here it is today pushing up a new spear after 3 weeks of peroxide.
Good luck, in what ever you decide to do.
Wow, ok 3 weeks - what does that mean, like you put a few ounces in and waited 3 weeks or you put in a few tablespoons every day for 3 weeks?? What exactly? I'd LOVE to not HAVE TO cut my tree top off to get rid of the rot - but I WILL if I HAVE TO.. :\
Ok well I put in like 12 ounces and last night it still had an inch or so left which hadn't yet been absorbed. I think that should do it. I don't want to put more in because it might make it wet or non-breathable. So I'm going to let it dry out now (let the HP evaporate and/or soak in) and see what happens. But I'm ready to cut if I need to, I just don't know when I will decide and I hope I don't decide too late.. :(
If it has pulled as deep as you say,trunk cutting is the best way.
Does this palm have any leaves left?
I would not wait to long to do this,get a saw and do it yourself-stop when you see healthy tissue.
With the rot as deep as it is,the warm temps will accelerate the process/rot.
Most landscapers and southern palm growers are not familiar with this process and will probably tell you it will kill
the palm.
You can see by the above pics it will not unless you go past the meristem.
Sooner is better-
Your palm will grow out of this and the trunk will be fine,
one year later you can hardly tell my Trachys were trunk cut,
Washys grow faster.
This morning I looked again and the remaining HP is still sitting in there (maybe 4-6 ounces left) - it hasn't fully soaked in. I pulled one more speak out (it was a cut spear, kind of the edge/trunk). I pulled it out and it broke off and came out. The top was brown/black and in the middle there were white spots like fungus or something. The BOTTOM however was all brown like it should look, and it was all wet from the HP. So I think my rot is above my HP level at this point. This could be good in that the rot is away from the center meristem, but it could be down below in where the HP is too. So I think I have the HP covering the new growth part, so hopefully it continues to soak and kill the rot then dries and begins growing. Otherwise, I could fill it back up and the HP will get on the rot that is higher up, OR I could cut the top 5 inches off the tree and let it begin drying out... Thoughts??
Ok, so I got an electric chainsaw (been wanting one!!) [Homelite 14" 9amp and it is POWERFUL!!] and I lopped off the top ~8 inches of my palm. I did it 2" at a time until I saw no more rot. Now, it looks like white/greenish and moist so I would call it live tissue, yes... It looks clean but the very edges up against the older dead frond bark looks like they are still moist and darker brown in color. It looks like a little rot at the very edges there.
Should I keep cutting? Should I put HP on those parts? Should I just cross my fingers and wait?? :]
If the middle section is alive and your temps are
warm,you may/should see the center pop up in a day or two.
Leave it alone now.
You don't need to treat it or do anything now that it's opened up.
If the rot didn't go past the meristem it will pop out of it-wait and watch.
You think so? I'm nervous the top live tissue is littered with old dead rot/sog/puss stuff. It hasn't dried out but has not even been 24 hours yet. I dunno, I'm just nervous. I didn't see anything pop up yet but the whole top is/has been kinda pointy/fuzzy since the chainsaw slashed it...
glad you posted these pics. Please tell the landscaper not to trim these palms because he is over doing it and adding stress to the palm. Trim it yourself - its ez. Also, TX had record and highly unusual cold so this is not a surprise that palms have been damaged. During record events including freezing precip cover them. Yup cover the tops and you will not be troubled by having to watch the poor palm struggle to recover. The surgery looks deep, but it worked for Jim. If you can trim that, you certainly can handle triming the fronds. Let them get bushy first. Too many die back events and the palm tends to die.
I think it looks about the same as the above pic, but it's not growing yet. I noticed in the center on top there is a TINY little green leaflet. It has 2 leafs. It is about .5cm tall about about .5 cm wide. It is uber small but it is the only green thing among all the brown/white tissue.. It wasn't there 2 days ago...
Well, today it still looks the same. It's not clear to me what is happening but it looks like a whole lot of nothing. I see in the center of the tree where the cross-section cut is, I see the individual spears are combined to form the trunk. They are all bunched together like they are one but way down below. I'm confident this means I'm above the bud. Perhaps well above it. Anyways, I don't know if I should cut more to get rid of the last bits of rot on top or what. It looks mostly dried out but it just started drizzling here, so that won't help. Should I cover it with a plastic bag so it doesn't get wet? Should I cut it more or is 4 days of nothing not yet indicative, and I should keep waiting??? *sad*
If you do cut it again use a saw and cut high to the north side,
low to the south-so it is angled to face the south.
This will keep water from sitting on it and help the sun hit
it directly.
Maybe there is still rot and the chainsaw tore it up to much.
Try this(make sure you have whitish colored tissue on top
and no more rot),then just leave it for a few weeks.
It should recover pretty fast.
There's little pieces here and there which look like soggy rot. I'm guessing even a little is enough to mess with this tree's ability to recover. So I guess I will lop off another inch or so.
If I see main stalks/spears in the center defined as individuals, it means the bud is at least another 1-2 inches below, if not more, right?
Can't tell you exactly where the end of the growth point is
but if the rot is on the sides and the center is healthy
you don't need to cut it,it will get pushed away as the
center grows out.
Unless you have a lot o' rot,I would just make a better cut with
a saw so the area heals better and is less opened up
and pulverized by the chain saw.
If this palm is healthy it should be progressing in your temps
unless there is another problem.....
make another cut wait a few weeks for healthy recovery.
If not replace it,down your way you should be able to get a nice big one cheap!
Make another cut of an inch off or so and post a pic.
Ok Jim, I just did some more cutting, and I tell you, I'm glad I did.. Maybe I didn't go far enough last time, I guess I should have presumed it would go faster than my cut. But, anyways, I looked again today and took another inch off. It looked pretty bad on the sides. I took another 2" off and now I am down to the bud basically (I think). I can't go any further I'm pretty sure. There's a little rot on the rim but that's it. The rest (the core/bud) is live and healthy. So I don't know if there is so much rot on the edge it will still thwart it from growing, or what.. I thought about cutting the edges and basically carving it down around the core but not cutting the core anymore, but that is just way too complicated and I will likely mess it up worse...
There's also a few small mites running around on it.. I counted maybe 5 or 6 and a small worm looking thing too. I wiped it off real good and it looks OK in person but these pics make it look worse I think... Let me know what YOU think..
I could put some more Hydrogen Peroxide on it too, or maybe on the edges, I dunno, what do you all think?? Thanks!!!
Looks good-that's exactly what you want to see.
You can pour some hydrogen peroxide on if you wish but
it really should grow up and out of that very quickly
if your temps are warm right now.
If it does not there is either root damage or something else
going on with it.
If it is healthy you should see the center pop up in a couple days and really take off.
If it hasn't got some green leaves on it by June 1,you may
want to replace it with a healthy one that will have time
to establish itself.
Keep us updated,it will be interesting to watch how a Washy recovers!
Good luck!
I'm worry more HP will slock down/shock the bud though.. ??
Anyways, I will keep you posted - thanks again for all your help and guidance on this!! I'm confident I did the right thing and now see I really had no choice. Who knew it would be this bad. I just still don't get how it happened really. Shock from early pruning before winter, then some deep freezes?? My other palm recovered and just took off like a month ago or so, no problem and went from like 1 spear to now 6 about 3' long, now up and blooming out..
Ok so a week later and no real signs of growth, ALTHOUGH, this morning it looked like the center was maybe 1cm (yes a full cm) taller than the rest. Meaning it has come up, since I cut it all very smooth and flat. SO, we will see.. It all looks like the rot got in the wind/air and just browned everything though. Or maybe it just browned on its own because it is exposed tissue?
How do I know if the bud is intact? I just got back from FL and found my baby is still not recovering. The center maybe is up a half inch above the cut line, but it doesn't look promising. It looks all rotted and dark. I want to give up or at least just cut it again and see if I am not too far to lose the bud, whatever that means exactly... Thanks!
One of mine was mushy in center after being cut and starting to rot. Since there were two grown from seed I had to cut it down. I relocated the remaining palm. With our forecast this thing will never stay dry. It has put out 3 fronds hope I don't kill it)-:

Love this lipgloss! A staple for pale but not lifeless lips. Not sticky, and doesn't settle into cracks if your lips are a little dry. Works great on top of any pale pink or peachy lipstick.

This is an amazing color, serves the same purpose of muting lip color as peach petal used to, into a gorgeous milky peach. It's actually even better than peach petal, bc it's not TOO pale and no settling into the lines like pp. Seriously if you like pale glossy nude lips, then you NEED this color, all the attention will be on the eyes.

- nice texture: not sticky or gloopy
- beautiful packaging: I partially picked up this product just because of its gorgeous packaging. The squarish, quite simplistic packaging was a winner for me.
- pretty colour (though not for me)
- colour doesn't suit me: it really washes out my lips and in yellower lighting, makes my lips almost appear paler than my face (keeping in mind I'm quite fair-skinned)
- applicator: when I'd looked at pictures online, I thought that this had a doefoot applicator (which I'm a big fan of) but in reality it's much flatter and longer. When I was swatching in the store, I didn't really notice because I was only applying a tiny stripe on my hand but when I went to use it on my lips I found it really annoying.
- price: Revlon is always a bit expensive for me. Obviously for a lot of people it might be fine but seeing as I'm still in school and only have a part-time job to fund my makeup purchases, I don't often get to indulge in Revlon items. However, when they were having a 1/2 price of all makeup brands in Chemist Warehouse a few months ago, I jumped at the opportunity to pick up quite a few Revlon items - this being one of them. I got it for about $11AUD which was a HUGE bargain but because it normally retails for $21.95, I don't think I'll be getting many more of these.
Also, I can't decide whether this is a pro or a con but there is no scent or flavour. Personally I sometimes like lip products that smell or taste fruity or something else nice but I know that some people prefer fragrance and taste-free products so I don't really want to list this as a pro or a con.
In conclusion, I don't think I'll be repurchasing this product. Definitely not in this shade as it doesn't work for me at all (although some of the other shades such as 'Fire' look absolutely incredible) and unless there's another 1/2 price sale on soon, I think I'd rather stick to Rimmel and Maybelline.
This may seem weird but I just decided to apply this after writing the review and all of a sudden I seem to have decided that I like it? At least more than I thought I did.
My opinion on the applicator still hasn't changed but I think it looks a lot nicer on my lips than I remember it doing. Maybe it's because of the time of day or time of year or something but I'm liking it. I think it kind of brings out the natural slightly purple tone that hides behind my lips and although it sounds weird, it doesn't look bad. During the day the very slight purple might make my lips look a bit dead but at the moment it's not looking too bad.
Also, I've realised that there is a slight scent to it but it's barely noticeable for me. I only realised that there was in fact a scent when I actually held it up to my nose to sniff it. The scent that you get then reminds me of Play Dough, which I don't love the idea of having on my lips, but as I said, it's really not noticeable unless you go out of your way to smell it.
I've tried it again and I think the more I use this the more I like it, although I promise I had used it quite a few times over the couple of months that I'd had it prior to originally writing this review.
All I can say now is that the way it looks depends SO MUCH on the lighting you find yourself in. Feel free to disregard most of what I've said in this review because I've changed my mind so many times about this product that I don't even know how to sneakily edit the original review anymore.

I really like that this lip gloss isn't sticky, since that's the primary reason I'm not a huge fan of glosses.
I also like that it's a nice nude, but can also be applied over a lipstick with ease, making it quite versatile. I'm not a huge fan of nudes, and only own a few, but this is one that I'm glad I picked up.

I originally got this for prom to match my peach/nude coloured dress and now it is a staple in my makeup bag. It goes great with my fair skin and it is quite glossy, which I love. Wonderful shade for summer, I will be repurchasing it when I run out for sure!

I really like this lipgloss, both the colour & the texture.
The colour on me is milky, nude. I wouldnt say its extremely glossy but its definitely glossy as opposed to matte. Its very neutral, which can be used over your nude lipstick or alone.
Applies easily, with little fuss. Im not such a fan of the extra long wand purely because you have less control than the smaller/shorter wands, but practice makes perfect.
Texture is good, not gritty or drying.
I think this is a great product, highly recommended however my one gripe is the smell!!!

Beautiful color. Sheer peachy pink. I am not a fan of lip products cause they don't stay on, but this is nice, not sticky, and leaves a pretty hue on your lips. Very wearable for summer.

Love this color!!!! The gloss and staying power is amazing! It's so nice over pink lipsticks or any brighter shade that you want to make shinier and creamier looking. I love all revlon gloss......but one word Revlon.... Change the damn scent of these. It's awful. It wears off completely after a couple mins but ick, initially it's almost gag worthy.... But.....I LOVE me some Bellini lip gloss!

Such a pretty peach with gold shimmer, reminded me of Nars TD. It could've even replaced Revlon's peach petal for me which was too grey but sadly this isn't as opaque as the shorter super lustrous glosses. It goes on practically clear, not even MLBB, leaves a tint of gold. It works over lipstick/stains/concealer even but I bought it for the color not for the enhancement of another lippie. IMO this would work best for PPP, NC10-15 with the slightest pigmentation to lips.

Calling Doctor Roboto
Last week, the FDA approved the first self-navigating communications robot for use in hospitals. The RP-Vita which stands for remote presence virtual independent telemedicine assistant – was created by iRobot and In-Touch. The FDA sanction for the self-guided robot could mark a new era of robotic care in hospitals here in the United States. Joining us with more on how RP-Vita works is Marcio Macedo, Director of Product Management for iRobot's remote presence business unit.

Hosta Loss in Twin Cities - Strange Spring?
Hi all, I am so sad! I can't believe the amount of hostas I lost over this weird past winter here in the Twin Cities. I lost (get ready!)
2 huge Montana Clumps (5 year clumps)
5 Large (Unknown) Solid Green (13 year clumps)
1 September Sun
1 Kabitan (5 year clump)
At first I thought maybe a mole? Has anyone else lost hosta this year?
Moles don't eat Hosta, voles do. The only way to find out if it's voles is to dig one up and take a look at the roots and crown or what is left of it.
Others have lost Hosta, but not on that scale. Post a pic of the roots of one if you can.
Well, it was an incredibly dry fall here.
If you weren't supplementally watering before the hostas went dormant, they could have died from the drying winds.
Couple that with the wet spring we've had.... I had hostas that were completely underwater.... that can cause crown rot.
I live in Lakeville, and I have already seen montana coming up, even in deep shade. Kabitan and September Sun are also up.
I suggest you dig up what you've got. If the roots are mush, it's rot. If they're dry and brittle, it's lack of water last fall. If they're non existant, it's a critter.
Another thought.... might they have been hit by some weed killer?
Thanks for the follow up everyone! There are a couple things I can definitely rule out:
Weedkiller (I have a dog with cancer so don't use chemicals)
Water: Watered heavily last fall
I have 1 of the 3 Montanas that is fine (they were planted together
Kabitan; Little bits here & there
So I will dig the one area that I had the greatest loss and see if I can "see" what is happening.
A couple years ago I had a vole (not a mole like I incorrectly mentioned) and he ate my "Fried Green Tomatoes" hosta
PS. My Salutes, Frances Williams, Crossa Regals, Striptease (I am a hosta freak), Elvis Lives, Sum & Substance and all the 25+ others are doing great. Some seem a little thin and that could be the dry fall/winter. But all the ones I lost were in a good amount of shade, even after the leaves went down.
I am thinking to that since I can't use chemicals, my yard is probably a haven for underground critters!
Fortunately for me, we have a red tail hawk and a couple eagles (along with a red fox) that have taken out every rabbit in the area :)
I will let you know what I find when I dig (or don't find!) & thanks!

Art Bites
As hobbies go, urban sketching gives you a lot of bang for your buck. With nothing more than a piece of paper and a pencil, you are equipped to start drawing your city or village, the people who live there, and the things that are happening in it.
No extravagant tools or formal artistic training is needed to draw on location. Let your hand interpret what your eyes see, as you explore your city, making marks on paper.
The beauty of sketching is that, almost by definition, a sketch can be completed as simply and quickly as you like. It can involve making a fifteen-minute sketch of the view from your window or whipping out a collapsible sketching stool and spending an hour or two capturing the way the light hits that beautiful old church. In either case, sketching stops the clock and lets your mind turn off all the noise.
Images and text excerpted from The Art of Urban Sketching by
Coming this Fall: two new handbooks on urban sketching by Gabriel Campanario!

As my artist's statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.

So I've started building a single tier brewstand after brewing a little less than a year ago. I've got a few PM and AG batches under my belt and want to have more and better beer so here I am. I have the frame built for my sculpture and now have a bunch of questions. The plan for the sculpture is 3 kegs,single tier, RIMS, one pump, & disco's. Thats the basics. As of right now I have one of the 2 banjo burners tacked in place and it took about 7 gallons water from 100 to boiling in about 20 mins with no windscreen and it was about 35 degrees out. Is that about normal I have nothing to base it on? The regulator for the burners is a 0-30PSI bayou classic.Also I wasn't prepared for how hot the stands get. It got me thinking, do I want to mount my black pipe to the top of the stand like I had planned or do I not want the pipe to get hot? The next major thing is how to mount the RIMS tube. It is a little longer than my stand is wide so mounting it length wis is out, is vertical with a hanger a decent option? Either way pics would be good for me. I'll try to post pics of my progress later tonight after work
so here are some pics of my progress let's hear what you think
And thanks to Bobby_M for the keg polishing tips and the sight glasses for my BK and HLT

Exit ramps are snow covered and slippery and that is creating havoc for semitrailer trucks trying to navigate the turns.
Several have gotten stuck. One truck jackkniffed on the ramp from northbound 35W to westbound Hwy. 13.
The ramp from northbound Hwy. 100 to Glenwood Avenue is shut down as is the ramp from eastbound Crosstown to northbound Hwy. 100.
Look for a truck blocking the ramp from eastbound 94 to Maple Grove Pkwy.
Elsewhere, traffic continues to crawl on most major routes. Accidents are increasing. Look for mishaps on southbound 35W at University Avenue.
Drivers are reporting tricky conditions on the ramp from westbound 94 to westbound 394.
Travel times are still two and three times the normal.

Senate GOP's next move awaited in nominations spat
Senate historian Donald Ritchie said the minority party has retaliated in the past for recess appointments by holding up specific nominees. "I'm not aware of any situations where no nominations were accepted," he said. The normal practice is for the two party leaders to negotiate which nominations get votes.
During the break, Republicans forced the Senate to convene for usually less than a minute once every few days to argue that there was no recess and that Obama therefore couldn't bypass the Senate's authority to confirm top officials. The administration said this was a sham, and has released a Justice Department opinion backing up the legality of the appointments.
Obama considers the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau a signature achievement of his first term. Republicans have been vehemently opposed to the bureau's setup. They argued the agency needed a bipartisan board instead of a director and should have to justify its budget to Congress instead of drawing its funding from the independent Federal Reserve.
Cordray is expected to get several sharp questions from Republicans when he testifies Tuesday before a House Oversight and Government Reform panel.
The NLRB has been a target of Republicans and business groups. Last year, the agency accused Boeing of illegally retaliating against union workers who had struck its plants in Washington state by opening a new production line at its non-union plant in South Carolina. Boeing denied the charge and the case has since been settled, but Republican anger over it and a string of union-friendly decisions from the board last year hasn't abated.
