|Heat know they need to snap trend of win 1, lose 1
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 15 June 2013 12:31
But for the last few weeks, putting together a winning streak of any length has been too daunting for the Miami Heat.
And if that doesn't change, the Heat won't be repeating as NBA champions.
The Heat won Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against Indiana, lost Game 2 of that series and the win-one, lose-one trend has continued now for 11 straight games. If that form holds, that means it's San Antonio's turn to win again when the NBA Finals resume with Game 5 on Sunday night.
The Heat say it's time to break that cycle.

Xbox One Will Do "Nothing" Without Mandatory Day One Update
Posted on Friday, November 8 @ 09:21:49 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One will require a mandatory update on day one. In fact, you won't be able to do much of anything on the console—yes, that includes playing disc-based games—without first connecting to the internet and updating the hardware.
Speaking to Engadget, senior director of product management Albert Penello confirmed that downloading a patch on launch day will be a requirement for Xbox One owners. As far as what can be done without the update? "Nothing. You need the day one update," Penello said.
"A lot of the apps come with the day one update because they wouldn't have even been done," he continued. "You're gonna need to take this update. It's not gonna be really an optional thing. Functionally, you will be able to do very little without taking the day one update."
It's a real shame consoles aren't the simple plug in and play machines of yesteryear. Oh well, that's just the price one must pay for evolving technology, I guess.

Remember 'Nigella Lights'?
Years ago Nigella Lights were the rage on Garden Junk. Nigella put glass light fixture shades in a small bowl or saucer, tucked in a candle and Nigella Lights were born. They lined dark walkways and lit garden areas.
They still work, they're still pretty in the dark. I've improved mine by filling a tuna can with sand, inserting a votive candle and then placing the bottom of the light shade in the sand a little way. Easy. Fun. Cheap. I have boxes of light shades bought at thrift stores over a number of years.
I kept in touch with Nigella for awhile after she left this forum. She lives about 50 miles from me and we had visited a couple of times.
I still miss her on this forum. I have a couple of plants I got from her in my garden. We had such a hard freeze this year I was afraid one would not come back--BUT it DID! Yea!!!!
Your lights are GREAT!!!!
Nona Cook, did you know that Nigella died in January? I decided to look for her after I started this thread, and came across the bad news.
I thought Margaret was such a talented person. She had turned to jewelry-making and her work was exquisite. I enjoyed visiting her ingenious greenhouse and her plants by way of Garden Web and am sorry now that I never ordered any of her Begonias. I found a picture the other day that I'd saved of a Christmas Cactus growing in an old teapot that was hers.

About Pook's Rise Spinoni

The puppies are raised in my home from the day they are born to the day they leave for your home. Hips / Eyes / Elbows have been tested in the parents. No Spinone in either background are from the known CA, SAS, or epilepsy lines. A great breeding with four different lines in their pedigrees. All lines are from Italy and are from breeders who hunt their Spinone. Many of my puppies are active hunting in the field - and several have become licensed therapy dogs. ....................................................................................................................................................... ..................... The next litter of puppies we are expecting will be sometime in the Summer of 2015 .

Submitted by: Giuseppe and Karen Iacono on Feb 28, 2014From wanting a dog to finally getting one is a fairly long road. And it better be. It does take time to prepare yourselves to welcome the new member of the family. And we were very lucky to find Maria to prep our family for such wonderful event. First, she made sure we were serious and committed about wanting a dog, and mostly she made sure we would be ready to welcome one of her puppies. Second, she made sure that one of her puppies would be the right fit for our family. We were very fortunate to receive her "green light." Today, we are the proud "parents' of Dante, a wonderful Spinone from Serafina's and Toby's 2013 litter. That little bundle stole our hearts from the first moment we saw him and his brother and sisters 4 weeks from birth. And from that moment we could not wait to welcome Dante into our home. Now, in a few days Dante will be 1 year old. The past year has been magnificent, and we owe much to the precious guidance from Maria. You must remember that one of her puppies might become your dog, but they will ALWAYS be her puppies. Through Maria , we share stories and experiences with fellow owners of Spinone offspring from her litters. We exchange emails with observations or questions. We relay stories of goofy behaviors or antics, complete with photos and sometimes a video. You become part of her expanded family. What a priviledge. We could not thank her enough for her guidance, and for how serious she is about the well-being of her puppies, and the purity of the breed. And all of this with an unique wit. Thank you Maria!!
Submitted by: beryl ann cowan on Feb 02, 2014I cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience of acquiring a gorgeous and delightful female spinoni from Pook's Rise. Before, during and after obtaining my puppy, Maria Holt was both informative and accessible to answer all my questions. She allowed me to visit her to get to know more about the breed, and her dogs before I made my final decision to enter the wonderful world of spinonis. Maria takes incredible care of her adult dogs, as well as her puppies. They are raised under clean and loving conditions. It all pays off. My puppy is a bright, healthy and happy girl. She is terrific with people of all ages, there have been no surprises. I am planning on training her to work alongside me as an assistant in my mental health practice. Maria and the families who obtain her dogs continue to be a network of shared fun and information. I can't imagine a better experience.
Submitted by: Charles on Jan 29, 2014We are the proud adopted parents of Juno, from Pook's Rise 2012 litter between Serafina and Toby. We also have another Spinone who is 7 years old. Juno displays wonderful characteristics of the breed. Her composition is only bested by her disposition. She is beautifully sweet and affectionate with our children, who are ages 21 months and 3 years, and has never been timid with other dogs. I highly recommend Pook's Rise Spinone. Maria is as knowledgable as any Spinone advocate I have encountered and she breeds exclusively to produce outstanding examples of the breed. If you are fortunate enough to make Maria's list, you will be in for many joyful years of Spinone companionship.
Submitted by: Chuck Park on Sep 11, 2013Donna and I first became interested in Spinoni Italiano about three years ago. We had an aging Old English Sheepdog at the time, and were thinking of bringing a new puppy into the family. I was interested in a dog with the personality and demeanor of the OES; with a hairy face and expressive eyes, like the OES; but with less maintenance required and good health ratings.
After much research into many different breeds, the Spinoni kept coming up at the top of our list. The next task was to locate a breeder within a reasonable distance from where we live in the greater NYC area. We found that there are just a few breeders nationwide, but were pleasantly surprised to find that Maria lives just down the street from Donna's best friend, Jill in Massachusetts. So on a subsequent visit to Jill's house, we called Maria and went over to her house to meet her and her brood of adult Spinoni.
Maria was very hospitable, friendly, outgoing and kind to our band of marauding strangers. She told us all about the breed in general, and in depth information on the members of her pack, Sire Toby, Dame Serafina, and companion Gus. The dogs were everything we had hoped they would be, and more. They were friendly, playful, affectionate, and intelligent. And not too excitable, which is a huge bonus. They are very relaxed and laidback. Maria went into great detail about the health of her dogs, and the screening process for congenital diseases and conditions. She goes to great lengths to insure that her bloodline stays true and disease-free.
That sealed the deal for us. We were completely sold on a Spinone from Maria as the next member of our family. But timing is everything, and our timing just wasn't right. We missed that year's batch of puppies by a few months. Maria breeds just one litter a year, and she explained that the puppies should be socialized with people and other dogs while they are still young, and the best way to insure that they get that socialization is to plan the breeding for an early Spring birthing so that the puppies will be ready to go to their new homes in late Spring/early Summer when the weather is more conducive for getting the puppies out of the house to go meet and greet other dogs and people.
Our timing was off the following year, as we would not be back from an extended trip in time to take delivery of a puppy. But, finally, this last Spring, everything fell into place and we got on the list for one of Maria's puppies. That puppy, Isabella, is now six months old, and the light of our lives. The reason she is such a joy is partly due to the general disposition of the breed, but mostly by how she was raised by Maria from birth to eight weeks-old. Unlike some other breeders that whelp and raise their puppies in outdoor kennels with a minimum of human contact, Maria's puppies are born and raised in her home with constant human attention, caring, and love. I think that makes all the difference in the world.

Submitted by: Lesliejohn and Jim Roche on Mar 02, 2013After raising and breeding Brittany's for many years as companions and hunting dogs we decided we wanted to research a different breed with hunting abilities and as my husband would say, I wanted a big fluffy dog. With research and many months of looking we found Pook's Rise Spinoni and Maria. From this point on Maria was extremely knowledgeable about the breed as well as personable and just a lovely individual. We set up a visit when her female Spinoni, (Serafina) was pregnant. As we approached her home and up the drive way four Spinoni's greeted us at our car. That was it; these dogs are just magnificent in every way. Well, it is hard to believe in a little over a week Maizy will be a year old. Time has gone by fast and everyday has been a joy with Maizy. She is a kind and loving soul, wants to please and a joy to have around whether she is lying by your feet or playing catch outside. She was great most the time in obedience's school other then she would decide when she just wanted to lay down and still get the treat. As a puppy Jim spent time everyday working with Maizy playing fetch, teaching her to come, going for long walks and introducing her to the field to bring out the hunting instincts. At every stage Maizy wanted to please and when hunting season came that was no exception. At seven months she proved to be a natural hunter in the field, both pointing birds and retrieving. She will only improve with time, and Jim can't wait until the season begins again, and I am sure Maizy feels the same.
Submitted by: Bill Wadsworth on Feb 28, 2013We purchased Roman from Maria's 2012 litter and he is absolutely the love of our household. He is a very affectionate, intelligent dog who would if possible, rather lay on you than next to you. He infatuates almost everyone that comes in contact with him either through his almost regal looks or the comical things that he seems to do. He is developing already into a very athletic hunting dog locking up on either Chucker or Pheasant and would even honor the other two Shorthairs points at probably 6 months. I have been a duck hunter with Labs for some 35 years so Roman and others are teaching me alot about upland bird hunting but he will alredy heal unleashed as we jump ducks off the creek and amuse everyone with his ability to walk in the creek with his head below the water searching for whatever. He is an absolute joy to have in our lives so whatever you have been doing with these dogs Maria, just keep doing it.
Submitted by: Nathan on Oct 13, 2012We have an excellent male from Maria's newest litter. She provided an ideal experience. We met the parents prior to the breeding and got a real chance to see what we were in for. Toby and Serafina are very strong examples of the standard with distinctly enjoyable personalities we absolutely loved. The puppies held true to form when whelped and Maria really went the extra mile to raise them with excellent socialization and fine veterinary care. The puppy we bought home is beautiful and healthy. He enjoys a little pseudo-birding around the property, but mostly likes romping with us in the yard and brisk hikes over and through the rolling hills of the surrounding area that have easy access to grassy meadows. Indoors, he's playful for a while, then loves settling in for a nap. He's really a wonderful companion. We highly recommend Maria and her spinonis if you are looking for truly home-raised puppies with great pedigrees and wonderful temperaments.
Submitted by: Kathy & Ted Parge on Sep 25, 2012Ms. Holt is a very knowledgeable and caring breeder of Spinonis. She has continued to be an excellent resource to us long after having picked up our puppy. Her puppies come from great breeding lines and are healthy both physically and emotionally. Great "Spins" from an exceptional breeder. I would highly recommend calling Pook's Rise first when looking for a Spinone!
Submitted by: Dolores Hughes on Sep 20, 2012After many years of research (reading about, meeting with Spinoni owners and their dogs, going to the Westminster Dog Show and talking with breeders there, etc.), we purchased a Spinone pup from Maria Holt 6 months ago, and he has lived up to all our expectations of the breed. Sweet-natured, smart, clownish, he loves our 14 yr. old son, (and would love to play with our 14 yr. old cat if the cat would allow it). He has low indoor energy, and he loves playing outside, he's goofy, and yes, he sorts and eats laundry too, and we love him!
Our experience with Maria has gone beyond our expectations. She truly cares about her pups, and about them having great homes too. She has been a valuable resource for us, answering any questions we've had and a few we hadn't thought of yet. Whether it's a reading suggestion or a place to stay nearby, she's been very helpful, and she's a lot of fun, too. She still stays in touch with Spinone updates or stories, and we look forward to hearing from her. We feel very fortunate to have found her, and highly recommend her and her pups.
Submitted by: Ingrid DiGregorio on Sep 17, 2012Maria is always there for you; upon first contacting her about the spinone breed, thru the time the pups are born and in selecting the right pup for you. She is intensely interested in how your pup is doing. She is also tons of fun; it is quite an experience to go to her lovely home in the Berkshires and "meet the parents" and members of her spinone family. Our dog Nellie, is an absolute goof ball, she is sweet, silly, naughty but is a lot of fun to take to pup school and beyond for more advanced training. She learns quickly and doesnt have a mean bone in her body.

The risk factors to cervical cancer are common in our environment. Objective: To determine the prevalence of cervical squamous cell abnormalities and the risk factors associated with the disease in Abakaliki, Nigeria. Methods: A 5 year retrospective study of cervical cytology at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki from 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2012, was undertaken. Results: The prevalence of cervical squamous cell abnormalities in this study was 11.2%. These cervical squamous cell abnormalities comprised ASC-US (0.6%), LSIL (3.9%) and HSIL (6.7%). Cervical squamous cell abnormalities were significantly commoner among clients who were smokers, live in rural areas, had high parity and history of vaginal discharge/itching. However, age at coitarche, educational qualification and use of hormonal contraceptives did not have any effect on cervical squamous cell abnormality in this study. Conclusion: There is high prevalence of cervical squamous cell abnormality in Abakaliki. So there is need for public sensitization about this problem and the various ways of stemming the tide.]]> Leonard Ogbonna Ajah, Paul Olisaemeka Ezeonu, Nelson Chukwudi Ozonu, Chukwuemeka Anthony Iyoke, Peter Onubiwe Nkwo, Monique Iheoma Ajah 2015-03-20 Science and Education Publishing 2015-03-20 2 3 23 26 10.12691/ajcp-3-2-1

> Going back to work - BF & Pumping ?'s
Ok, I feel like I am making this waaaay too hard. I am (obviously!) a rookie mom and bf'er. I am going to back to work in 2 weeks (DD will be 8 weeks old), and I have a Pump In Style Advance. I'm confused about what to do when I go back to work. Right now I'm feeding from one side only each time. What do I do when I go back to work?
Should I:
A) just pump on one side each time, at the time she would normally eat?
B) double pump at work and continue feeding her on the opposite side when I get home? (ie - If I feed on the left side before work, should I double pump at work and feed on the right side when I get home?)
Any suggestions? My plan for the next 2 weeks is to start feeding on one side and pumping the other during the hours she will be in daycare -- then I suppose I just continue that cycle by double pumping? I'm concerned about oversupply if I do that. Advice or suggestions?
I think your plan is good; I would agree with double pumping at work at the times when she normally eats, if you can. A little oversupply will be a blessing if you are trying to pump full time - you can keep adding to your freezer stash. More women have the opposite problem (insufficient stimulation from the pump leading to supply spirals). I think it would be difficult to create an oversupply by pumping alone. If it happens you can always reduce your pumping sessions.
Definitely double pump as it saves time and will help keep your supply up at work since the pump is not as good at stimulating supply as your baby. And you can probably nurse from either side when you get home, I know it makes little difference for me.
I do one side at a time, because 1) it feels more "natural" to me and 2) I like having a hand free to turn magazine pages (this is a very silly reason, but I like to do something distracting while pumping)
I only double pump when I am in a hurry. Doing one side at a time, the actual pumping takes 10-15 minutes. (add another 5 for set up and take down, which would be the same regardless of single or double pumping).
Anna Phor
I'm a uniboob nurser but a double pumper. I nurse right before I go to work (around 8.30, leave the house at 8.45) then I double pump at 11.30 and 4. At the 11.30 pump I usually get less milk from the nursed-on breast, at the 4pm pump I get about the same from each, roughly. When I first went back to work I was pumping 3x but I found I get the same amount of milk doing it only twice, and it's a time-suck otherwise.
The other thing that really helped me was buying the bigger horns for the pump. Pumping was more comfortable & I get more milk.
Double pump when you are not around baby. It will help in keeping your supply up, since the pump doesn't bring all of the milk out as efficiently as baby does. You can get a hands free bra or make one yourself, that way you can be double pumping yet have both hands free (the only way I survive EPing!!).
The optimal situation would be to pump just a bit more than she eats per day. You don't want true oversupply (it's not fun, believe me), but keeping up with her and just a bit more is helpful, of course.
Pump as often as she eats, if possible. If you can't, then pump as often as you can. Remember that more sessions vs. longer sessions are better. Meaning that if you can pump 3x a day for 20 min at a time, that is better than 2x a day for 30 min at a time.
Double pump with a special nursing bra. Get enough flanges, etc that you won't need to clean each time you pump. Bring home each night and put in dishwasher.
Good for you for planning ahead!! I'm sure you'll have a fine time of pumping and your babe is so lucky!

Motown Meets Gospel and Country at Art Museum
January 22, 2009
- The Knoxville Museum of Arts Alive After Five concert series presents the John Myers Band on Friday, January 30, from 5:30-8:00 pm.
John Myers is an extraordinary entertainer whose early career included stints with R&B groups The Five Pennies, The Four Pennies, and then The Hearts of Stone on the Motown label in the early 1970s. Now living in Knoxville and performing with some of its top Americana musicians, his career has taken a whole new turn. His repertoire still contains some soul songs from his Motown days, but he can just as easily pull out a song by Hank Williams, croon a number by Louie Armstrong or belt out an old-time banjo tune. Myers currently collaborates with his wife Pamela who is a prolific songwriter. He recently released a live album from the WDVX Blue Plate Special radio show which includes two of their original songs. He is currently working on a studio album as well.
For more information about John Myers, visit
. Admission to this performance of Alive After Five is $8 for non-members, and $4 for museum members and students. Alive After Five is sponsored by Cherokee Distributing Company, Knoxville News Sentinel, WVLT-TV8 and WDVX-89.9FM. For more information about the Alive After Five series, please contact Michael Gill at (865) 934-2039.

Home & Garden News: When pests make themselves at home
By Debra Levey Larson
Media/Communications Specialist, University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences
URBANA, Ill. — It is time for the annual pesky ladybug invasion. Every fall, it happens: as the weather turns cooler, there is another outbreak of critters that want to come inside where it's warm. Rhonda Ferree, horticulture educator with University of Illinois Extension, said to take time now while the weather is still amenable to prepare your home.
"Spiders, box elder bugs, Asian lady beetles, and mice would all like to share your home with you this winter," Ferree said. "Fall cleaning activities such as sweeping spider webs away from windows and corners and raking accumulated leaves and grass away from the foundations help eliminate hiding places, eggs and easy access to your house by the pests."
Ferree said the best way to keep critters out of your home is to prevent their entrance by caulking around windows and doors and at the top of the foundation.
"This will help keep out drafts, too," Ferree said. "Be sure weather seals at the bottoms of doors are tight. To keep mice from entering the house, cover all holes that are at least as big as the diameter of a lead pencil. Place one-quarter-inch wire mesh, smaller screening, or sheet metal around pipes and over ventilators or other holes."
Most pests that come indoors die in a few days, she said. However, box elder bugs, ladybugs, and spiders may live indoors all winter.
"After they've come inside, the simplest way to eliminate them is to vacuum them up, rather than spraying," Ferree said. "Try not to crush box elder bugs and ladybugs, as they leave a stain and odor. These insects do not feed or reproduce indoors, and are only seeking shelter. Spiders, on the other hand, will continue their normal habits, but only if they have insects on which they can live."
When dealing with mice, Ferree recommended trapping as the most effective method of eliminating small numbers of mice, but sanitation is equally important.
"Store food in tightly closing containers," she said. "Do the dishes daily, and always wipe up crumbs from tables and counter tops. Remove nesting sites in garages and around the home or other buildings."

Growing Hostas in the sun
If this topic has been addressed before, I apologize.
I'm more than a little devastated today. We don't have a huge back yard, but right in the middle of it is a 100 year old, GIGANTIC Maple. It shades our entire backyard. Because of this amazing tree, we've been lucky to plant a large variety of gorgeous Hostas. The Hostas border along all three sides of our privacy fence and along the back of our home.
We just found out that the tree is diseased and has to come down. It is the only tree we have. :((( Our Hostas will now be in full sun all day. The only Hostas that aren't directly shaded by that tree are the ones planted along the house. The house shades them all day.
How will our Hostas fare? Is there a way to care for them in order to keep them ? Is there ANYTHING we can do? The thought of losing them to the sun after 'collecting' them for 20 years is breaking my heart.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice !! Echo
How far north are you? Zone and latitude.
Firstly, they won't die, but likely the first year they will all burn mid-summer. They won't be used to the amount of sun they are getting.
Secondly, many on this forum grow Hosta in full sun (6 hours of direct sun or more). However, you have to be far enough North to do this. The link below is to Don_r's garden. He is in Michigan and grows a lot of his Hosta in full sun.
Thirdly, are you planning to replace the tree? If so I would recommend you buy the largest Oak you can afford. You may be surprised at how well your Hostas grow when released from the invasive tyranny of Maple roots.
Here is a link that might be useful: Don_r's Garden
Thanks so much, Steve. I am so worried that they'll die. We must be close to Don...we're in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I had to look up our latitude. 44.51.
Will watering them and keeping their 'feet' cool help in any way to keep them from burning ? Or should we just let nature run it's course and hope for the best ?
The tree is coming down today and we've asked them to do an extensive stump/root removal. We're hoping with the root removal, the Hostas will, in fact, grow better. Some stay quite small and we've always suspected that the trees roots were part of the problem. With that in mind (and because I don't have 40 years to wait for a tree to fully grow LOL) we're opting to not replace it. Just yet. We're going to live with the void for awhile before deciding on another tree or a fire pit in it's place. Our Arborist made the same recommendation you did...to go to a GOOD nursery and invest in the largest root ball Oak we can afford and have a cherry picker bring it in. We'll see...
Thanks again for reassuring me. I feel a little better. :D
Hi Chandla,
I grow about 200 varieties of hostas in full sun. I live about 30 miles south of Don R. The only one that won't grow for me in the sun is Sum of All. I took out a maple tree this winter since it's roots cause more problems than the sun.
When it's really hot, I spray mine with mists of water to keep them cool.
If you find that some of your hostas are really failing in the sun, dig them up and see if it's roots are tangled up with maple roots. If so, rinse the roots off and replant. You'll find the ones that are tangled with maple tree roots will require tons of water when the sun is shining on them.
I pulled out a very small Moonstruck last week. The amount of maple tree roots trangled up in it was larger than the entire hosta.
Since your tree will no longer be producing roots and sucking up the water, your larger hostas may not have to be de-rooted.
Give me the sun anyday over maple tree roots!
I moved about 25 hosta to full sun last spring.
This spring, they're all doing just fine.
I have another area that's full sun in midday, they're all fine.
HOWEVER, they definitely require more water.
If you take the tree down yet this year, the hostas will go crispy really fast and you'll probably think they're dead. They're not. They're shocked.
Next spring, they'll bounceback just fine.
I'm in the Twin Cities, just a bit south of you at 44.42.
If you want to minimize your crispiness, take the tree out after your hosta have gone dormant. Best yet... do it at the end of winter when the ground is still frozen and it's less likely that the tree dudes will damage anything planted around the maple.
There WILL be large branches dropped from tall heights.
THAT will pose the greatest damage to your garden.
Thanks for the great information, Melissa ! I wish we could have kept the tree up, but the trunk was badly split and we feared that any strong wind was going to bring it down and hurt someone. So...it's gone. I've been crying since yesterday. I'm a sap. LOL
I appreciate you're telling me that crispy leaves don't mean they're dead. That really made me feel SO much better about this. Here's a weird question: Should I just cut them back now instead of waiting for the sun to burn them up? Or would that be even MORE stressful for them? My husband thought that if we cut them back and covered them with mulch they might be better off...
How handy are you and/or your husband with a hammer (or hire a handyman). Here's an idea--see the link below. That guy built an arbor to provide shade for his hosta. You could build one on each side of the privacy fence. Doesn't need to cover the entire length of the fence, but would provide 3 specific areas where you could cluster your favorite hostas. (The hosta shadowed by the house can take care of themselves, I assume.) It can't take that long to build such an arbor, and I think it has a charming look in that posters hosta bed.
Well, it's an idea anyway. Good luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: Shade Arbor over hosta
Kate, my husband is a carpenter by trade, so building an arbor would be no problem. We're up against time, though. The tree came down yesterday morning and I was just outside walking the garden. It's VERY hot here today and full sun and some of the leaves are already burning. :(((
I'll ask my husband how fast we can throw one together. Thanks for the link. The arbor was gorgeous and the garden is amazing !!
You should sprinkle the hostas with water immediately.
You can somehow immediately put up blinds made out of 1x2s and fabric. I shaded new plants (also dwarf conifers) for the first year after planting in the past. New plants do not have the root system to take up enough water to survive in the heat. I used spun fabric, burlap or landscape fabric, whatever I had. I cut holes into the landscape fabric (black) and spray painted it white. Plants survived even when it did not look pretty.
Good luck!
A few poles and some shade cloth will work as an emergency measure. You can get polypropylene shade cloth with different densities, I have some white which is 50% shade, and some tan which is 70%, but it comes in many flavors over the internet.
Many years ago, I discovered a product called MetaPosts. I discovered it was then sold by Aubuchons Hardware up in New England, and I ordered some. They are spikes on the bottom, like 2 feet long, you put in the top a short piece of 4 x 4 and then wham it into the ground. Then you put your real 4 x 4 into the top of the Metapost, and proceed to build what you want. They can be backed out of the hole to be reused somewhere else.
Later on I found some at Home Depot, different name, but same sort of product. You can buy about 6 of them and put up a temporary shade structure or a shade sail which will work for this season.
Sorry about the loss of your big tree, but it might be a blessing in disguise. The oak is a fantastic idea. I'm looking out the window here at a live oak in the neighbor's yard, and it is easily 60 - 80 feet tall. Mostly the live oaks shed leaves quickly in the spring when the new leaves push the old ones off. So never a bare tree. And clean up is done quickly too with a leaf blower.
I have a shade structure built, but with all my busy days have yet to lay the shade cloth over it or lay the newspaper weed barrier and pine bark down before moving the hosta in containers back to this area. But, after it stops storming next week, that is top priority on my agenda. I only have 12 more hosta due to ship Monday (plus a "nice bonus plant they say) and then the garden here is set for the summer. Talk about sun, you stand a lot better chance with full sun than we do in zone 9a.
As long as it's green, it's sending energy to the roots.
Wait until they grow crispy or you will stunt their growth for next year.
Just remember to start watering NOW so that when the heat comes (as it already has here today, over 90 degrees), they're properly hydrated. Don't wait till the heat gets there, do it NOW!
Rather than plant one huge oak, you might consider planting several smaller trees. I planted some flowering cherries and an eastern redbud last year and they're growing quickly. And I have several dogwoods on my lot, but no huge trees, and still the only hosta that's burned badly for me was Frances Williams despite all the sun they get.
I'm sure your hostas will grow back fine next year, and probably better than ever.
I also will have to grow my hostas in the sun. I have to transplant them from the front of my house to the back to a new circular garden that is in the old pool space and it receives about 6 hrs of sunlight from about 11am to 4pm. I live in western NY. There are a row of pines along the south lot line belonging to the neighbor. I have read the above messages and they make me feel a bit better about the transplanting which I will do in the evening. Thank you for the above. Are there any ideas on what to put with them. I have to transplant all flowers among them day lilies and agapanthus and 3 roses bushes.
I just did the same thing with an above ground pool. I dismantled it and put a garden in it's place. I only put one Hosta there, however, because it's full sun from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Here's that Hosta.
It's doing well thus far despite the all day sun. I'm giving it a lot of water. I planted a small tree just to the right of the Hosta in the picture, but it's not providing really any shade at all yet. Eventually it will. You might want to include some small trees in your circular garden. I've got several conifers and a Stewartia pseudocamelia in mine.
hosta are ONLY shade TOLERANT ... they can do just fine in sun ... but need lots of water ...
they will actually grow faster and mature faster in sun ...
but they will be ugly as heck in later summer ... but they will grow huge roots ...
below is a pic of what i had to build for my white skinned redheaded freckled boy ... just some 4 x 6 posts ... and 2x 8 spans.. i think ..... and shade cloth ...
order shade cloth and the thingees to hold the cloth at amleo.com ... i think that is 60% shade cloth ...
your only real problem... is that the leaves there are not hardened off to full sun.. and will most likely crisp up pretty fast ... but the next flush.. will be fully acclimated to sun.. and then it will just be left to you to water them well
you are basically in the same boat as anyone who gets decimated by a bad hail storm ... such is life.. they are hosta.. they will not die
they just might not be as pretty as you would prefer ...
do you think he played in the shade ... nooooo
You all are brilliant !! I simply cannot thank you enough for your words of encouragement.
It's kind of a mixed bag in the backyard today. Along the fence line that gets the most sun, some of our Hostas are just fine, others have white burn marks on them and others are turning yellow and curling. Boy, that didn't take long, did it? It's HOT today...mid 90's, full on sun. Same for tomorrow.
I guess I have to take the mindset that "It is what it is". I am outside watering them 3 times a day. It's taking me about 40 minutes each time because I'm trying to really soak their roots. I'm misting their leaves with cool water and hoping for the best. I'm honestly encouraged to know that even if they look like crispy critters this year, it's not the end of the road for them. That they CAN and will be even better next year !!!
Floating row covers. Actually I am lazy so I would get some screen material and those green steaks and ty rap a shade cover over them till I can think of the long solution. I am sorry for the loss of your tree. I to have one that has to come down. It sometimes is my best friend.

Profoundly crimson. Like with the Casa Silva above, the first notable thing about the nose of this wine is its freshness. Scents of cedar, açai, blueberry and creosote draw in the taster.

Mid-depth bordeaux color. The vibrantly fresh nose of this wine sings of Carmenère! Soy, tomato leaf, spice cake and a whiff roasted green bell pepper meld together.
