The End of the Helsinki Times
On 9 May 2007 Finland's first English-language weekly newspaper was published. The idea was to fill a demand for news about Finland in English. Finland has always been an open nation, but in 2007 a fundamental change was happening. There was a surge of immigrants who needed news in an international language. Native Finns were more outward-looking than ever. There was interest in Finland around the world, thanks to success in business and sport and social issues. All of this contributed to a need for English-language news from Finland.
Helsinki Times issue 1 had articles about the Finnish band HIM, the national hockey team, new Nokia mobile phone models and the economics of hosting Eurovision. I wrote the Eurovision story. Since that time I have either had a column or news story in every single issue. It didn't matter if I was sick or on vacation or had writer's block: for more than seven years I never missed an issue. Over 390 issues I wrote about economics, investing, politics, social welfare and business.
Now the Times has applied for bankruptcy. There were interested potential buyers, but the owners of the newspaper were afraid of it being used for propaganda purposes by foreign owners and decided to shut it down instead.
I was only a freelancer, so can't claim to have any real inside knowledge about the happenings inside the Helsinki Times offices. But I do know what has been occurring in the publishing business. Around the world newspapers are shutting down or cutting staff. The digitisation of the industry makes it hard enough on traditional newspapers, but the ongoing economic slump makes it worse. Sometimes I'm not surprised that the Helsinki Times had to fold, but that it lasted as long as it did.
There are other English-language sources for news in Finland. The national broadcaster YLE has several services in English and Finlandtimes is a new online publisher, for instance. There are also many specialised publishers, some of which I write for, like Good News From Finland and thisisFINLAND. In this day and age many people probably get their English-language news about Finland from social media. Yet none of these sources try to cover the same ground of traditional news reporting like Helsinki Times did. The demise of Helsinki Times will leave a hole which will not be filled, and we are all the worse off for it.
Writing for Helsinki Times has been good for me. It allowed me to go on and write books for major publishers. If I hadn't written for the Times I wouldn't have gotten to write my first book, Mohamed 2.0. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have written my next books. I probably wouldn't be in such demand to write articles about Finland. All of this is directly due to writing for Helsinki Times.
Alexis Kouros, the main owner and editor in chief, has been particularly good to me. Writing books and articles for other publishers took my time away from his paper, but instead of discouraging me he has freely given me advice and support, proofread my work, gave me his opinions and wrote letters of introduction. I can't say enough how grateful I am for Alexis. He is a class act through-and-through.
Helsinki Times was a small, specialised operation, but I am continually surprised at how many people read it. I have received letters and emails from people around the world. I can't count the number of times I've met someone who knew who I was from my columns. Once I was even recognised by a person in Chicago's O'Hare airport.
Helsinki Times may have been small, but it did have its share of successes. It reported about racism and social injustices, particularly those wrongs committed on the immigrant population. This will probably be its legacy.
The paper had some traditional investigative reporting triumphs, too. I was part of one scoop where we reported that Nordea Bank took emergency funding from the Federal Reserve during the height of the financial crisis. No, it wasn't of the same calibre as the Watergate scandal or Edward Snowden revelations, but the activities of Scandinavia's largest bank during the crisis were certainly newsworthy and in the public interest. A scrappy little newspaper on a shoe-string budget pulled it off while the big publishers missed it entirely. I'm proud of what we achieved over the past seven years.
Talk at the Helsinki Book Fair
Come to the Helsinki Book Fair on Friday, 24 October where I will be interviewed about my book The Decline and Fall of Nokia at 12.30.
It is at Messukeskus, the Expo and Convention Centre. You can find a program for the entire event here. If you have never been there before, here is a helpful map from Google Maps.
Jennifer Lawrence's boobs, Ebola and Dead Romans
The actress Jennifer Lawrence has breasts. This may not seem to be particularly newsworthy, but we, as a society, are more interested in her boobs than anything else right now.
I like to know what is going on in the world. To do this, I consume a lot of news – probably twenty different sources a day. I read Hufvudstadsbladet, watch the BBC, follow Bloomberg's website, and I also use some other methods, like seeing what is trending on Google and Twitter. This does not only tell me what editors think is news, but also what people are interested in. And what we are interested in is Jennifer Lawrence's boobs.
The hacking and distribution of celebrities' private pictures has taken precedence over all other stories. We are twenty-five times more likely to search for Jennifer Lawrence than Ukraine on Google. We are seventeen times more interested in naked celebrities than the Ebola outbreak. This makes sense, in a way: people in the West are likely to have seen Kate Upton in Sports Illustrated or watched McKayla Maroney at the Olympics. We don't have much experience with epidemics like the Ebola outbreak.
There were occasional scares over SARS or swine flu, but the last real threat that touched the West was HIV / AIDS. The fear of HIV has declined over time because of advances in medicine, so the younger generations don't even have that same cold terror I felt in my youth when a blood transfusion or one night stand could kill me.
We tend to think that the threat of epidemics has declined in the developed world. We have innovative medicines and new equipment and the best procedures. While all this is true, sooner or later we will have another outbreak. It might be flu or Ebola or maybe something that hasn't been identified yet. When it does happen Western society will hopefully reevaluate its priorities.
I wrote Dead Romans with this in mind. In my novel three characters have to deal with a plague outbreak in the city of Ephesus during the height of the Roman Empire. The characters are directly impacted by the plague and have to deal with its wider effects upon society. What happens if so many people die that it disrupts food supplies? I wrote about it in my book and unsurprisingly the exact same thing is happening right now in Sierra Leone because of Ebola.
It is newsworthy when a celebrity gets hacked and her private, intimate pictures are posted online, I guess. But I find it hard to believe this should be a priority. What happened to you is dreadful, Jennifer, but I just don't think it is that important in the grand scheme of things.
James Thompson (1964-2014)
I don't remember how I first met Jim Thompson. I believe it was around the time his book Jerusalemin veri was published but before he burst upon the world scene with the first of his Inspector Kari Vaara novels, Snow Angels.
Jim and I weren't buddies, but we were friendly. We had a lot in common. He was from Kentucky; I was from Indiana. We both had moved to Finland for love. We both were professional writers who had started with local Finnish publishers before getting international deals. It is odd how many of the same boxes were checked on our respective histories.
Help and bad reviews.
We were in touch with each other at regular intervals, like before our books were published or during various literary events. He would help promote my books and I would try to push his. He did a lot more for me, too. Jim was successful and experienced and spent hours giving me advice about the business of publishing. Sometimes I contacted him with a simple yes-or-no question and he wanted to spend an hour explaining his view of the situation. I would feel bad that he was wasting so much time on me.
'That's enough, Jim,' I would say. 'You have been a huge help and I really appreciate it. Please don't waste all this time on me.'
'It's okay, Dave,' he would reply. He always called me Dave. 'It is not a problem. I want to help all I can.'
I wanted to help him, too. Jim was a rough and gruff and rude guy sometimes, but he was also surprisingly sensitive. Bad reviews ate at him. Once he was extremely nervous at a book fair because he was going to be interviewed in Finnish. He often got nervous in front of crowds anyway, and having to speak in Finnish made it much worse. When it was over Jim was visibly trembling.
'That was great!' I told him. 'I understood every word, and I was standing way in the back. You did fine.'
'Really?' he kept asking, as if he was so insecure he couldn't believe me. 'Really, Dave?'
Finland in fiction
Jim became famous worldwide because of his Kari Vaara novels, in which he explored violence, racism, right-wing extremism and government corruption in Finland. Some Finns are touchy about how Finland is portrayed and they were not happy with Jim at all.
One woman in particular was a thorn in his side. She followed him everywhere he went online, posting terrible reviews and complaining about inaccuracies in how he depicted Finland. I thought the whole thing was ludicrous. Jim was writing novels, not travel brochures. Any person who complains about there being fiction in fiction is obviously out of touch with both reality and literature.
Jim saw it that way too, but for some reason this woman especially bothered him. Once he somehow got the idea that this woman had talked to me and he immediately gave me a call. He wanted to know what mischief she was doing now. I had never had any interaction with her and told Jim that she was doing nothing that I knew of and that he had nothing to worry about. He was relieved, but he wanted to keep talking about her. I spent the next hour listening to him and continually reassuring him. It was as if he needed to hear it again and again.
A screwed up book signing
Although I tried to help him out, one time I got him in trouble. We were at the Helsinki Book Fair and I snatched Jim away from his publisher's booth for a quiet talk in a secluded corner. Unbeknownst to either of us he had been scheduled to do a book signing and there were about a hundred people waiting impatiently for him to appear.
Someone from the publisher was sprinting around the cavernous hall and finally found us.
'You can talk later!' he yelled, giving me a particularly dirty look and literally dragging Jim away.
I felt terrible for getting him in trouble and for causing all his fans to wait. I called Jim the next day and profusely apologised.
'It was no problem, Dave!' Jim laughed. 'We were having a good conversation. It was too bad they found us!'
Helsinki Noir
One of the last things Jim was working on was Helsinki Noir, a collection of short crime stories by Finnish writers. He had this grand idea on how to promote it and he wanted my help. The plan was to get three fantastic crime writers – Jim, Tapani Bagge and Leena Lehtolainen – in a room together. I would have the honour of interviewing all three of them at the same time and writing about their interaction.
Unfortunately it didn't quite work out. Leena was stuck on a book tour in central Europe somewhere and Jim came down with one of his frequent illnesses. In the end I only got to interview Tapani in person and had to do Leena and Jim via email.
Jim's agent, Penn Whaling of the Ann Rittenberg Literary Agency, told me that Jim passed away before he was able to complete Helsinki Dead, the last Kari Vaara book. That means Helsinki Noir will probably be his last piece unless there are other unpublished manuscripts yet to see the light of day. I'm glad I was able to experience his excitement and enthusiasm for what will probably be his last book.
Semi-coherent outrage
Sometimes Jim and I didn't agree. He frowned over my writing style a time or two, and once conclusively declared 'you need commas.' For my part, I loved his prose which was as lean as a Victoria's Secret model but sometimes scratched my head over awkward plot stumbles in his books.
If I was his editor I might have mentioned those plot stumbles, but I can imagine what his reaction would have been. Once I edited something for him and recommended a piece be cut. When I emailed him my suggestion I received in return a vehement, emotional, stream of consciousness text defending that passage. I remember the subject line in the email was a shout of semi-coherent outrage in all-caps. I had a good reason to recommend that passage be cut, but Jim was so passionate about including it that I backed down. Immediately he was conciliatory and tried to convince me that this was the right decision.
'It is much better with this included, Dave,' he said. 'This was the right choice.'
Thanks again, Jim.
The last time I tried to contact Jim was a couple of weeks ago. Over time I was becoming uncomfortable with some of the things I was seeing and hearing so I wanted to see how he was doing. He never replied.
In a way I'm happy he didn't. The very last time I heard from him was several months ago. I had a new book coming out and Jim remembered that he wanted to do something to help me but couldn't remember if he had done so yet.
'Yes, Jim, you already did that,' I told him. 'I really appreciate all your help. Thanks for everything.'
I'm glad that this was my last conversation with him.
Thanks again, Jim. Thanks for everything. May your books be read for a thousand years.

Breaking News
Bernie Madoff accountant pleads guilty
- From: AAP
- June 25, 2014
PAUL Konigsberg, an accountant for some of Bernie Madoff's biggest investors, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and falsifying records, but says he was unaware of Madoff's "horrific and evil Ponzi scheme".
HE pleaded guilty in a deal that calls on him to co-operate with continuing government investigations.Konigsberg, 78, was the 15th person either convicted or to have pleaded guilty in a Madoff-related case, and the only remaining charged defendant whose case had not been resolved. His co-operation agreement indicates others may still face legal jeopardy. In his plea, Konigsberg - whose accounting firm had 300 clients with Madoff accounts - admitted that he knew some investors were getting altered account statements from Madoff, and that he used the altered statements to file their taxes. But he insisted he didn't know the whole business was a fraud. "I was not aware of Madoff's horrific and evil Ponzi scheme, which has brought great suffering," said Konigsberg on Tuesday in a courtroom filled with rows of well-heeled family and friends. He faces up to 30 years in prison and forfeiture of $US4.4 million ($A4.76 million) in addition to fines and restitution. But he could escape prison time altogether based on his cooperation. Prosecutors did not detail Konigsberg's co-operation. But in a release, they noted that he gave Madoff tax advice in 1995 on how to structure a taxable gift to two unnamed co-conspirators as a tax-free loan. The day before Madoff's arrest in 2008, they said, he called Konigsberg to discuss changing that 1995 transaction. Madoff is serving a 150-year federal prison sentence.

Blasphemy as a National Security Threat
Spain has begun deportation proceedings against Imran Firasat, a Christian refugee from Pakistan, for making a documentary about Mohammed and thereby threatening the national security of Spain. If Firasat is deported back to Pakistan, he will face the death penalty proving that it's a short step from the Spanish Inquisition to the Pakistani Inquisition.
But it's not really about the deaths, if it were then the United States wouldn't be senselessly squandering the lives of American soldiers in Afghanistan to avoid offending the natives. It's not the death of men that our leaders are worried about, but the death of stability.
Knowing that a hundred men will die today in car accidents does not alarm anyone, but knowing that somewhere a dozen men might die in a bomb explosion, anywhere and at any time, can bring a nations to its knees. That is the difference between predictable and unpredictable death. Predictable death makes it possible for most everyone to go about doing what they normally do. Unpredictable death however erodes daily order.
Blasphemy makes terrorism seem predictable. It delivers that false sense of control that is at the root of Stockholm Syndrome, the seductive illusion that the thug can be reasoned with and that we can restore control over our perilous environment by accepting responsibility for the enemy's violence. If we meet a set of conditions then we will have peace. And what kind of lunatic wouldn't want peace? The kind who needs to be deported or locked up in the name of peace.
When an entire country goes Stockholm then it is no longer interested in winning the war, only in surviving the peace. In a Stockholm country, national security consists of locking up anyone who can be blamed for sabotaging the peacemaking. The less peace there is, the more the peacemakers go on the hunt for "extremists" who are to blame for the lack of it. The more their vision of a better world fails, the more stern measures they must take against their own people. Peace is always one more denunciation of extremism away.
The same countries whose leaders have spent a century and a half blathering incessantly about a truly progressive order under international law have shown no ability to cope with the old-fashioned kind of war. They can quote verbatim the laws of war, but understand poorly that war makes its own laws. War's simplest law is that you pick a pretext, any popular pretext, make your demands and then go on the attack. If the other side is foolish enough to meet your demands, then it has shown its weakness and must be attacked again and again.
Muslims have restored blasphemy prosecutions to the United States and Europe through violence. Like Khrushchev banging his shoe on the United Nations delegate desk, they did their best to convince the rest of the world that they were violently irrational and liable to do all sorts of things if their demands weren't met. And their demands were met. Rather than going medieval on their asses, the civilized world instead went medieval on anyone who offended the medieval cult of Islam.

the americans and the rest of the world, instead of fearing the arabs for talking smack about muhamed, they should fear Hashem the G-d of all peoples when they promote gay marrage and immorality. Hes the one that is pounding america with violent storms and dissabling the "most powerful country on earth" all because of their sick ways. the arabs kill homosexuals and blasphimers. israel should do the same.
"proposed to burn a Koran,".
The guy who wanted to burn the Koran — and did — is a nutcase named Terry Jones. He wanted to burn a Talmud, too — because according to Jones we Jews were responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
"Muslims have restored blasphemy prosecutions to the United States and Europe through violence."
There hasn't been a blasphemy prosecution anywhere in the US since the 1920s, and in the 1950s the US Supreme Court ruled such laws unconstitutional.
I thought that the JP had higher standards for factual content.

Funny how the areas in NYC most devastated by hurricane Sandy included most of the areas that vote Republican in national elections.

He's saying that we are effectively using such laws now, even if we don't call it blasphemy persecution.
He brings no evidence for such. Although frankly I think Jones should be confined in a mental institution.
"The United States has a man sitting in prison for making another blasphemous movie, which the government spent weeks blaming for worldwide attacks on American embassies. And he isn't the first man persecuted or prosecuted for offending Islam.""When Bubba the Love Sponge, a Tampa DJ, proposed to burn a Koran, the commander of the Afghanistan war contacted his girlfriend (who would later be stalked by Petraeus' girlfriend) to contact the Mayor of Tampa to keep Bubba from burning a Koran. Instead of explaining how the American system works to the Lebanese temptress and her four-star general, the mayor wrote back that the city was working on it."
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/19/bubba_the_love_sponge He's talking about a different person. And people should be able to say they want to burn the Talmud or the Koran. And if they want to, the government should not stop them from doing so.
When a country is at war — and remember we are still in the GWOT — liberties are restricted when expressing those liberties damages the war effort.
Were we in the middle of WW1 or WW2, we would not be having this discussion.
Sure we restrict freedoms. This makes sense to the extent of wiretapping suspected terrorists, for instance, but that often gets liberals up in arms. I do not think they punished Americans for anti-German speech in WWI or II (in fact, there were attacks in the first-which I am not justifying.) There is no reason our freedom should be restricted in order to appease those who threaten us, and the author's point is that the illusion that this will work is dangerous. Furthermore, where does it end? At WWI and II, it was clear when we won; the war on terrorism is ongoing, and we cannot just say we will live indefinitely in fear of offending Islam. If we do, they've won.
" wiretapping suspected terrorists, for instance, but that often gets liberals up in arms"
Never got me up in arms. There has been provision for this in the law for over 30 years:
"At WWI and II, it was clear when we won; the war on terrorism is ongoing"

Great property, and Ken was incredibly accommodating! Amazing stay!
Wonderful house and neiborhood! Ken is so nice that he prepared everything in detail and notified us in advance of our trip: we easily found the keys, daily necessaries. The decorations of the rooms are very elegant. It feels so warm when you see the pictures of the family on the wall. The entire house can accommodate at least 6 persons and even more if you use the coach bed. We are very glad to have stayed in such a beautiful house for three days.
We were very happy with our stay. The place was as described, very clean and orderly. Ken provided clear instructions and expectations for our stay. We liked the neighborhood and the proximity to the Orange line. Overall, I would rate the stay very highly.
Ken was a great host. His home is just as he has it listed...beautiful. very clean and peaceful. The two cats were also very friendly and the majority of the time we didn't realize they were there. The house is located in a great spot not too far from anything in Boston. I'd recommend Ken as a host to anyone looking for a house to rent in the greater Boston area. He was always available for any questions or concerns I may have had. Unfortunately we did not meet but the communication was never lacking. Thanks Ken!
My friends and I had an excellent time at Ken's place. His home is beautiful and spacious. The description was accurate and the neighborhood was quiet. His cats were friendly and nonintrusive. We had an amazing time and would certainly stay here again.
The house had everything we needed and Ken had given us detailed instructions of how to access the property and use everything. We didn't see much of the cats but they were very friendly when they did stop by. Thanks for letting us stay.
We stayed at Ken's house for 3 days. Everything was well communicated and organised. The house was so clean and great with a lot of spaces (exactly as the photos show). None of us has any experience of caring a pet but the two cats essentially looked after themselves. All we needed to do was adding the waters for them in the morning. We could feel Ken's family's good taste of the life and had a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.
Wow, what a great deal!
Great house. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Cool cats :)
great communication from Ken... Went perfect!
Highly recommended
The home was perfect for our needs. Very comfortable and attractive in a great location. Host provided helpful information not only about the home but about the neighborhood. Our whole family enjoyed the visit and we would stay here again.
We had a great time in this very comfortable home. The listing describes the home nicely. We used the T to go downtown, which is the only way to go, and is not far from this location. We appreciated the great communication provided by our host regarding all details. All of this made our first airbnb experience a very positive one indeed.
Wonderful guests! Respectful, discrete & neat, Ken & his lovely family were a pleasure to host. Would gladly have hem back. Totally recommend!
Ken, Christina & Nathaniel were a pleasure to have in my home. Extremely respectful and appreciative, they were also great to chat with (fellow Airbnb hosts!)
Little Nathaniel is a bundle of joy for them, that is obvious, and he brought sunshine into my weekend as well.
Welcome back anytime...and I do hope to see them again.
Thanks Dawn! We loved meeting you and being in your great space. Our guests were great. Not overly communicative but left our house in greta shape. Hope you are well until we see you again!
It was a pleasure to host Ken and his family. They kept the condo very clean and observed every rule. It was very easy to communicate with Ken throughout all his stay. I will highly recommend him as a guest and I hope to welcome him and his family back soon.
Ken, his family and friends are warm, easy going, fun loving family people. They are easy to communicate with. Getting away is important to their busy lifestyle with sports, good food, and quiet times. I thoroughly enjoy their energy, look forward to their return and recommend them to another host's property with high regard.
Ken and Christina were wonderful guests. They were interactive without ever being intrusive, they explored the property, enjoyed the area and left the Bunkhouse close to as tidy as when they arrived. Could not ask for more!
#1 Favorites- Ken and his Wife Christina; These two were absolutely terrific guest's. Two people I hope come back the next time they are back in Seattle. Edit that- Two guest's and one baby :) Ken was so full of positive energy, and his wife was very sweet as well. They are host on AirBnB Boston. They had many ideas, stories and knowledge to share with me on being a good host, and what has worked for them. They left the place cleaner than I left it to them, and some treats for the next guest, which made my day( of course). Thank you Ken, Christina and Baby:). You guys are the best! To anyone that host's, and receives an inquiry to host Ken and Christina, SAY YES!
Ken and Cristina were wonderful guests! Being our first guests, I did not know what to expect exactly and was quite happy to meet them. Ken communicated their arrival and departure times which was excellent. They left the apartment in the same way as when they came as if they were not even here. Again, very courteous and thoughtful people whom I hope come to stay here again.
See you soon. Jeff
Ken is very easy and quick to communicate with. He and his guests are a fun outdoor or indoor type of group, prepared for any type of weather; or local attractions. They are gracious, easy going and clean. I gladly look forward to their return to my property anytime.
Ken and his wife stayed at "Sanctuary near Cathedral," our apartment in Washington, DC, in January 2013. They stayed just one night on a whirlwind visit to Washington, so we hope they return...we would welcome them back anytime. Great guests.
Ken and his wife Kristina were friendly, appreciative and clean guests. They were wonderful to have!

A very cool annual or maybe perennial.....
if you're in a warmer climate. Cardoon or Cynara cardunculus.
This is actually a very poor specimen compared to what they can look like. Mine are growing in the worst possible soil in a Blvd garden. A few weeks ago they were trampled to death by a dog, but are rebounding. I recently saw some of these used as accent plants in a public planting and they were magnificent - easily 3 feet across and a couple of feet tall.
To make them even more appealing, they're edible because they're related to artichokes. In this case, you eat the leaf ribs when they get large enough.
So, has anyone tried these? Next year I'll work them into my perennial beds for sure.
hey kevin..
i have bird strewn thistle all over my 5 acres.. and the thought that somehow.. you are going to 'work them in' .. cracks me up no end ...
good luck with all that .. lol ...
ps: and that is the curse of large acreage.. you just cant hold up the personal promise.. to deadhead them.. before the finches get to them ... or perhaps.. there are sterile ones????
Here is a link that might be useful: link
I love Cardoons. On the link is a pic of some I cooked and a recipe.

Fence ideas?
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this, but I would love some suggestions on a fence problem.
My husband would like to fence our entire yard, since my neighbor on one side is installing a white vinyl privacy fence(ugh). My husband wants to fence the opposite side of the yard as well since we have a dog and there are a lot of coyotes in the immediate area. The problem is that on the side opposite the vinyl fence I have a stone wall that I really love. Husband would prefer to remove the stone wall and put up stockade. I am pretty much against that, and like the look of the stone wall. Five feet beyond the stone wall is a hedge of what I believe are cedar trees. There is also a huge opening in between those trees because I took down a huge Japanese honeysuckle shrub and a multiflora rose that were strangely growing on a huge mound of loam. We had planned to put arborviteas in the gap and have already planted one.
I love my stone wall and just cannot see a stockade fence a few feet behind it. I am open to any suggestions.
I am also looking for suggestions on how to make the neighbor's white vinyl fence disappear, since it really isn't my style. My neighbor had her lot surveyed and unfortunately the property line goes right through my flower bed on that side as well as cutting diagnolly across what we all(neighbor included) thought was our yard! We had no idea!
I prefer a more naturalized setting over a yard with four walls of fencing.
Here is a picture of the stone wall side of the yard, part sun(north side of property), there is a fence running perpendicular at the front, and a stockade fence at the rear where we have an enclosed garden/entertaining area:
A close up:
And here is a picture of the property line where the vinyl fence is going in, it is in a sunny area(south side of property). The fence will cut diagnolly across the rear of my yard. I am looking for plantings that will attract birds predominantly, as well as detract from the fence:
It's a good thing the property line was surveyed; I had planned to put a small greenhouse right where the surveyor's stake is at the rear of the yard.
Thanks for any input!
The fence will be mainly to keep the dog in(and coyotes out maybe); but I would like some plantings to provide the privacy.
The honeysuckle shrub I took out made it very private, but it had to go.
Unfortunately honeysuckles were planted on three sides of the property; and I am currently removing them one by one. I think my removing the honeysuckle is what prompted my neighbor on the other side to plan to install a vinyl fence.
I'm not sure painting a vinyl fence is an option. And it would be a heck of a lot of fence to paint. She's putting in almost 200 feet of fence, running it from the very back of her property up to the street. We both have long narrow lots.
Here's a photo of a fence we did a couple years ago that integrates a rock wall and a solid wood fence together.
Your rock wall is a dry lay and already in place so you might think about setting the fence posts behind the rock wall and then build up your fence behind the wall - you also might consider starting the bottom rail of the fence at the top of the wall . From decks + fences
If a solid wood panel fence is not for you , you could consider using lattice or stockade wire - I'll post a photo of what those look like ( lattice panel fence in the foreground, stockade wire fence in the background) :
From decks + fences
Not much you can do about the neighbour's white vinyl fence except plant a new shrubbery bed in front of it as a disguise. My sympathy for you but, on the upside, it might create a new micro-climate there for you. You look like a gardener's gardener anyways...
And, if you really object to the idea of a "stockade" fence or other, more attractive design options, have you considered an enclosed dog kennel accessed directly from the house through a doggie door? There simply will be times when you won't be able to be outside with your pup, monitoring her safety. Because, unless you also electrify that fence, there is still absolutely no guarantee that the coyotes shall not either clamber over it or dig under it.
I've always been lucky living in the country, where there are better menu choices for them besides my beloved pets. Although I have had problems with wolves killing my livestock in pasture or bears foraging around my cabin in the past. What a wild world it is, eh?
I hope your husband doesn't get his way with regards to removing the beautiful stone wall. I think the suggestion to create a dog run type of area is a better idea to protect your dog when you're not outside than fencing your entire yard (assuming the coyotes in your area have a history of bothering pets in your neighborhood).
It looks like you have a lot of privacy as it is with your plantings, so you don't really need a fence for privacy. Even with the gap, there looks to be enough distance between your seating area and your closest neighbor. As far as the white vinyl fence, I agree that it clashes with the more naturalized look you prefer, but hopefully it will fade into the background if you plant a nice wide mixed shrub border in front of it.
Our neighbors across the street installed a white vinyl fence around their yard years ago, and I remember many of the neighbors hating it, some even starting a petition to try and get them to remove it. Privacy fences (mostly cedar pickets) are the norm in our neighborhood where our houses are spaced much more closely than yours, so I don't mind the "stockade fence" look myself, but I don't think I'd want one in your situation. If you do wind up building one, if you allow it to turn silver/grey instead of staining it, I think it would fade into the background pretty easily. Good luck!
Thank you for all your suggestions.
I think the dog run is out, as there is no good way to put a dog run near our back doors. Our side door has a deck and then raised vegetable beds, plus hubby's boat(another eyesore I must contend with):
And this is the view from our back door, also opens on to a small deck:
Beyond the shed at the rear of the yard, I have stockade which I am trying to naturalize:
And here is a view of the property line before I took out the honeysuckle and multiflora rose; it was quite private:
Here is view of the fence style we have at the front of the property; it is a bit different than the stockade at the rear:
About the stone wall; it is dry stack(not a very good job) and I lugged every fieldstone to my property in my car and built it myself, so I'd hate to dismantle it!!!! Out of all the suggestions, I like the lattice screen best.
One other thing I forgot to mention, I am battling loathesome English ivy on that property line. It's been alosing battle so far. Perhaps I could use the ivy to my advantage and put up a 5 ft wood and wire fence, and the ivy would would quickly cover it I'm sure? Yes, I know it probably wouldn't keep out any coyotes that really want to get it, but it would keep the dog in line. Does anyone have such a fence?
The dog, by the way, is an 11 year old black lab that has survived thus far without being fenced. He is not a wanderer at all and prefers to stick close by us, but when he sees other dogs he goes crazy. So perhaps screening his vision is more important than actually containing him now that I think about it.
Also worth mentioning; I am on a budget and my husband and I(mostly me) do our own work in the yard.
As for the vinyl fence, I will think of it as a challenge. I love a good garden challenge.
Love your garden, even that rustic stone wall! When your neighbour's erected that vinyl fence (how high will it be?), could you from your side use it to screw on wooden lattice panels and grow light climbers/clematis or such? Maybe not the Eng Ivy, but I'm sure others will have an opinion on that one!
I would be very leery about doing anything to "your" side of your neighbor's expensive new fence. Assuming that it is placed a few inches inside her property line you have no right to be painting or screwing things into it.
I am very surprised that you never had a survey done yourself!
Thanks for your replies!
We really love the 'naturalized' look of our yard.
Looking out onto the backyard from the house, the white vinyl fence will be to the LEFT just beyond the boat in the picture. I'm pretty sure we cannot attach anything to the fence because it is vinyl and it is not our fence. We mostly hang out in the RIGHT side of our yard where the stone wall is. I guess I can pretend the white fence isn't there. Maybe.....
On the RIGHT side of our backyard is the stone wall, and we spend most of our time on the deck overlooking that side of the yard.
I guess I am more concerned about losing the aesthetics of the stone wall than I am about the vinyl fence.
I have done some Googling and I think maybe I am looking for wire fence...welded wire...and it comes in green or black, I think. It looks fairly inexpensive and DIY friendly, and would hopefully blend away into the plantings on the property line.
Some pics I found:
It could be something very basic(but not very pretty), such as these:
Or something a little bit fancier(but without a gate, of course):
I'm never going to win the battle of the English ivy that is running rampant behind that stone wall, anyway. I might as well put it to use as a screen.
I have owned this house for 15 years, and no, I never have had a survey. When I moved in I was a struggling single mother and did not recieve child support. I worked day and night to make ends meet. A survey was totally out of my budget!
I remarried two years ago, but due to chronic medical problems I work only sporadically. So even now a survey isn't in our budget. My neighbor paid 900.00 just to get that one side of her property surveyed!
What is the small, multi-trunk tree that shows up in the 4th and 5th of your recent batch of photos?
From a distance, your "stone wall" looks OK, but closer--to me--it looks like a fresh pile of stone delivered to a construction site. (I'm not talking about the surroundings!) It also looks like a fantastic resource and opportunity. If I had all that sitting in my yard, I would blast right out and build 10 or a dozen stone columns (it looks like you have enough to make that many). It would be a more attractive and much more efficient use of the stone. If you wanted the stone to go farther, you could add another material like brick to it (think stone base/brick shaft.) In between the stone columns could be panels of lattice or stockade wire mesh or whatever you like that suits your purpose. The possibilities are numerous. Building stone fence columns is certainly within the realm of the DIY-capable person and easier than most people think. Once the short learning curve is accomplished, it's fun and satisfying, too! The hard part--getting the stone delivered to your site--is already finished. (Amazing that, too... in your car! Obviously, you have the dedication sufficient for a serious project.) The cost of masonry tools probably less than $30 or 40 if you already have a decent wheelbarrow and a hoe. The main cost would be a pile of sand and bags of cement for an end product worth $$$$.
If you used wire fence panels, you cold train the English ivy on it and take advantage of it. With mesh not too large, it will grow into it by itself if you just get it started. I would not let it grow on wood lattice.
Too much "hedge" in front of a wall (which a fence is) seems redundant. Breaking up a long expanse of fence with groups of small trees (such as the one I asked about above & other types) where their trunks are silhouetted against the fence, combined with other schemes, seems more interesting. But one should have the comprehensive view of what runs along the fence. Your pictures don't convey that well enough. It think it's a better strategy to try to make much of the fence more interesting than it is trying to obliterate the view of it. Putting much of it in shade will help a lot.
Making any alteration to the back side of the neighbor's fence would seem about as friendly as... window peeping.
The small tree in the pictures is a young honey locust that hasn't leafed out yet.
Yes, I agree, it isn't the nicest stone wall! It doesn't look that bad to me, though, because I live in New England and these types of stones walls are everywhere. In fact, many people in this area prefer this 'unstudied' stone wall look. I grew up with them all over my parents yard. I guess that's why I want one in my own yard.
I hadn't considered columns made out of stone; that's something to think about, too!
I'm thinking wire mesh will be the way to go and let the ivy take over, although keeping it out my yard and off the trees it is trying to strangle.
It's just a matter of deciding how the wire mesh will be supported now.
As far as the vinyl fence on the other side of the yard, the first half of it coming from the street will be in shade, so it will be easy to decide on plant groupings. The half that is in the back part of my yard will require more thought. I will probably post pics after it is actually installed and get some advice from you all then.
The rules for fencing around here are that they have to be a couple feet into one's own yard.
You added more pics before I pushed "submit." The small tree I'm asking about is the multi-trunk one to the left of this table and chairs... with the white blooms:
I am NOT saying that your "fence" looks bad. I'm saying that it looks a mere 20% of the greatness it could look.
I appreciate and covet the look of your New England stone wall, but then again I come from generations of highly skilled stone masons who did most of their work in the Boston region after settling there from Ireland.
It is nice to hear that you enjoyed the process of building a dry lay stone wall.
I find it to be a kind of meditation at times, especially when in the zone of fitting the rocks together.
Building columns is a completely different kind of masonry skill and mindset. As someone who has been building with stone for a long time, I would say it is not a beginner DIY project.
I fully understand your frustration with battlling the invasive ivy. It's a non-stop war that really can wear a person out.
I think you are onto a pretty good idea of erecting an inexpensive wire fence and directing the existing ivy to grow on it as a privacy screen.
As you have first hand experience, the ivy can become very aggressive and heavy so when installing your fence posts I would make sure that they are very strudy and secure.
It will become another 'maintenance' chore to contend with, but it might be worth the work if you are killing two birds with one stone by enclosing the yard and creating a green wall, albeit a moderately high maintenance one in order to keep it in check.
I did enjoy building my stone walls very much. it was indeed meditative!
I have been contemplating the columns and I think they may have too much of a formal look for my yard, which has a rustic, definately un-manicured feel.
I think an inexpensive wire fence a few feet beyond the stone wall is the way to go, aesthetically and budget-wise.
I hate grubbing ivy!!!!! It is insanely difficult to control in this area.
A couple hours of pulling ivy totally wears me out, whereas I could build stone walls all day long!
Thank you everyone for all your input!
found this old project in the archives. The property composes several acres which are fenced in with a simple round 6 " diameter pressure treated post at 8 feet on center with galvanized wildlife wire ( the pattern at the bottom is 2x2 and it opens up to a wider pattern at the top )
It was very affordable and disappears into the landscape.
From Sonoma - Freudbrgr
There is a potato vine planted on it but we are going to replant some Lady Banksia roses this fall,
Thank you, DD; I really like that! Plus it gives me something to show hubby who just can't seem to wrap his brain around 'wood and wire'. He thinks if it's a wire fence it MUST have metal posts.
Meanwhile, I just learned that I have three weeks to move an entire garden border, a purple beech, a trash barrel shed, etc, etc...to make way for the shiny new vinyl privacy fence. It coming further into my plantings than my neighbor initially said it would. I'm going to be extremely busy!
Made my own fibreglass wall in 8 off, 6 foot long sections by 4 foot high by 4 inch thick. really strong and lightweight and will last a lifetime. Took old wood panels out and put fibreglass ones in. Managed to do all on my own. Looks great and confuses all the builders! Dont know if you can get things like this in USA

AES E-Library
A New Approach to Detecting Auditory Onsets within a Binaural Stream
A number of problems have recently come to light whilst attempting to perform perceptually relevant computational analysis of binaural recordings made within enclosed spaces. In particular, it is not possible to extract reliable information for auditory source width or listener envelopment without accounting for the time-domain properties of the stimulus. A new method for performing computational spatial analysis entails computing the running interaural cross-correlation of the binaural signal whilst employing an adaptive filter to perform basic dereverberation, hence gaining an amplitude characteristic of the source stream. Early experimental results indicate that this new technique yields an indication of auditory spatial attributes which is more reliable than that attainable previously.

Facials what should I know?
I have been wanting to get a facial but never having had one, I am wondering what constitutes a good facial.
Someone told me that buffing is good, and steaming is not.
Is that true?
How long should it take and what should I expect afterwards in terms of
how the skin would look.
Can you share your own experinces with me? the good and the bad.
Any info appreciated..
I am going for a facial in a few hours; I find that even with daily cleansing and toning and moisturizing, I need deep cleaning, exfoliating and extracting done by an aesthetician to keep my skin more healthy looking; they have this algomask that I really like. I usually have a facial a few times a year; I find extractions painful so I'd rather go more often and have them do a little at a time.
Aestheticians will usually try to sell you their products or special creams for special problems; I don't like buying extra products aside from basic cleansing . I like the cleanser and toner that my aesthetician sells and it's average priced so I get them from her.
I'd rather go for a full facial more often rather than buy all kinds of masks, etc... that I don't end up using.
I don't like aestheticians who talk too much during the process; it should be relaxing and calm.
I once had a facial in a spa and when I went to the counter to pay afterwards, she had 6 products lined up next to my bill that she thought I needed and should buy; I had mentioned I needed a day cream, so I got that only. She had included a special serum because I have broken vessels, no thanks I don't think any serum is going to cure that !!
Once you find a salon and person that you like, having a good facial at every season change should be enough.
buffing and steaming are both good for you- in moderation, and in gentle hands. then again, both are things you can do at home, as well. ditto mud packs and facials....
the first thing they should do is go over your skin regimen, requirements, and goals... is your skin dry or oily, flakey patches or irritations? outbreaks? wrinkles? sensitive skin? your tech needs to know all of this- especially if it's your first time (it's good if she' taking notes. it's better if she's taking notes on a proper client sheet. but I know several good ones who don't need to- and will remember you without them)
cleansing comes first- can be any thing from a quick wipe with a toner to a creamy emulsion that she will let sit for several minutes. this ought to be followed by a quick toner. she'll then discuss what she's going to do next- and this can vary wildly. in my case, it's steam my nose and chin, extract the ick that's built up there, then eyepads, a facial massage as she applies a creamy masque that sits for 7 minutes, removal, she always tweezes me - I've got a patch under my chin that's hard for me to see, some girls do eyebrows at this point.
now- I'm cheating, my best friend's a certified aesthetician, and I've had everything from a papaya back treatment (with real mashed papaya) to aromatherapy oil facials to apple cider, seaweed and clay masks over the years...
i love having facials here in the Philippines. i always go to the Belo Medical Group to have it done. My favorite is the full facial which i do once a month. it's like a european facial with thorough cleaning plus face and shoulder massage and a mask to tighen the skin. lovely! and it's super affordable. Php 2800 or roughly 61 USD only. You can check them out at www.belomed.com.
I feel really lucky. I hate places that try and sell you on their products and am very surprised that the place I go to now doesn't do that. It's an Aveda salon and I'd think they'd push their products like crazy. Or maybe it's just this particular aesthetician - she's wonderful! After my first facial with her I jokingly asked her to marry me, it was that wonderful! I've had facials in all kinds of places over the years - some are very business-like and get you in, get you out. Some are merely a tool to talk about all the things you are doing wrong and what you should buy - hate that. I think a good facial rejuvinates the skin and the spirit - if it's not doing that, find a new place.
I'm in the same boat as the OP but some of the comments here are not specific enough for me. What does "a european facial with thorough cleaning plus face"
mean? I can cleanse my face. Even thoroughly I guess.
What is extraction?
I'm 50 but have large pores.
extractions would be removal of black or white heads; for me a thorough cleansing involves an exfoliation of some kind so that the dead skin layer is removed properly. You can do all those things yourself but a professional facial is very relaxing also, specially if there is a massage of neck and back involved.
The place I go to has a very comfortable table with a heated pad, and you are cocooned in a fleece blanket; I like to schedule a facial at the end of the day, and go straight home after.
