East Coast: Last-Minute Snow, Ice Removal Info From Consumer Reports
"The first flakes ahead of a potentially historic blizzard began swirling through New York City on Monday morning, with forecasters predicting up to 3 feet (90cm) of snow in the coming day and millions of people facing snarled transportation.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a blizzard warning for New York City and surrounding areas beginning 1 p.m. EST on Monday, and warned of two days of winter storms across the East Coast, from Pennsylvania to Maine.
Airlines have canceled more than 2,000 flights so far…"
-Reuters.com, January 26, 2015
Considering the ongoing warnings of severe winter weather for the East Coast, I thought I'd get the following last-minute information regarding snow and ice removal out to Survival And Prosperity readers in that area of the country. I hope a number of you find it useful. From the Consumer Reports website:

On the topic of ice melts, while I've got a bag in my arsenal, lately I've been using sand instead so as to minimize damage to the newer concrete driveway and older sidewalks at my house in the Chicago suburbs. QUIKRETE All-Purpose Sand (bought a 50-lb. bag last week for a little under $3 at the nearby Home Depot) is the brand I went with- and it works really good as traction is concerned. Just be sure to keep the stuff away from drains.
Good luck out there in the eastern United States, stay warm, and stay safe.

Chicago Reader: Did Rahm Emanuel Deliver On Public Safety Campaign Promises?
The Chicago Reader has done a terrific job lately of keeping a tab on public safety in Chicago. And yesterday, the Reader website ran an article entitled "Did Rahm live up to his campaign promises on public safety?" Mick Dumke wrote:
During his first campaign for mayor four years ago, Rahm Emanuel kept talking about police.
He noted as often as he could that his uncle had been a cop on Chicago's north side. He boasted of his role in crafting the Clinton administration's 1994 crime bill that funded the hiring of 100,000 police officers nationwide.
And, as the centerpiece of his public safety plan, he vowed to find the money to add 1,000 more officers to Chicago's force. He said this would prevent crime and improve relationships with the community.
"Police officers will become a presence in the neighborhood rather than only available in response to emergency," he said.
But within weeks of taking office, Emanuel stopped talking about hiring cops. Instead, over the course of his first term, the number of officers on the force dropped from about 10,900 to 10,600. And the mayor responded to violent crime not by investing in community policing but by calling for stricter gun laws and blaming legislators who balked.
The result after four years: crime totals have fallen, as they have across the country. But Chicago still has more violent crime per capita than New York or Los Angeles, with an average of seven people shot every day…

Signs Of The Time, Part 79
Not really surprised to hear of the following coming out of the "Big Apple." Larry Celona, Shawn Cohen, and Bruce Golding reported over on the New York Post website last night:
It's not a slowdown — it's a virtual work stoppage.
NYPD traffic tickets and summonses for minor offenses have dropped off by a staggering 94 percent following the execution of two cops — as officers feel betrayed by the mayor and fear for their safety, The Post has learned…
Angry union leaders have ordered drastic measures for their members since the Dec. 20 assassination of two NYPD cops in a patrol car, including that two units respond to every call.
It has helped contribute to a nose dive in low-level policing, with overall arrests down 66 percent for the week starting Dec. 22 compared with the same period in 2013, stats show…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
A number of observers claim Bill de Blasio ran his campaign for Mayor of New York City on an anti-police platform.
And he was subsequently elected.
It's also been pointed out that anti-cop sentiment could be found among/around de Blasio staffers. Chuck Ross reported on the Daily Caller website on December 23:
Kicy Motley, the director of the Brooklyn community affairs unit working for New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, has a history of making anti-cop statements, and Rachel Noerdlinger, the former chief of staff to de Blasio's wife, lived with a convicted killer who has expressed a deep dislike for police officers…
I guess it could be argued that the New York Police Department is merely providing the kind of policing a number of de Blasio supporters and residents have been asking for- in a sense.
The thing is, I'm pretty sure the majority of New Yorkers don't support the cop haters (it's one thing to peacefully protest against perceived police brutality- it's another to foster, promote, and carry out violence against law enforcement officers).
In the case of NYC, I think it's a matter of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Although New York's Finest might emphasize a different saying with respect to the ongoing work slowdown:
"Elections have consequences."
Indeed they do.
Should make for an interesting New Year's Eve at Times Square. Hope the bad guys/terrorists don't take advantage of the situation though…

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Blasts Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Bill de Blasio For Anti-Police Sentiment In U.S.
Last night, I happened to catch the Fox News Channel show Justice with Judge Jeanine. The discussion was about the Saturday murders of two New York Police Departments cops- Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos- by career criminal Ismaaiyl Brinsley. African-American law enforcement officer and Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., who first grabbed national headlines with a memorable PSA he recorded for Milwaukee County residents near the beginning of 2013 (blogged about here), appeared on the show and shared his thoughts about the killings. From the exchange between Judge Pirro and Sheriff Clarke:
PIRRO: You've got an African-American in the White House. And he wasn't elected by just blacks. He was elected by whites. And yet he seems to be, along with his attorney general, the men who are creating this perception that cops are your enemy, and that you have to protect your kids from them. Why is that? Why are they doing this?
CLARKE: Because it was politically advantageous for both President Obama and Eric Holder to do that- and for Mayor de Blasio as well. And I found their statements that they came out with after the announcement of the death of these officers- I found them to be hollow, I don't want anything to do with it. They can have it back. The only reason they're saying what they're saying today is because it is politically advantageous for them to say that today. They had a chance, Judge, to extol the virtue of our nation's law enforcement officers early on in these tragic incidents. And instead, they chose divisive politics. And they benefitted from that divisive politics. But now the law enforcement community, our law enforcement officers, and our neighborhoods are suffering as a result of these divisive politics.
This stuff needs to stop from these individuals.

Another Quote For The Week
"We've had four months of propaganda starting with the President that everybody should hate the police. I don't care how you want to describe it- that's what the protests are all about. The protests are being embraced, the protests are being encouraged. The protests, even the ones that don't lead to violence- and a lot of them lead to violence- all lead to a conclusion:
The police are bad, the police are racist. That is completely wrong.
Actually, the people who do the most for the black community in America are the police- New York City and elsewhere. They are the ones, not the Al Sharptons, they are the ones putting their lives on the line to save black children."

Chicago, New York City Cops Talk 'De-Policing,' 'Blue Flu'
"In Oklahoma City, after the terrible bombing, Americans were wearing a T-shirt- I've got a copy of it here that was given to me- and I'd never seen this before. But this T-shirt shows all the different things that federal law enforcement officials do and mentions all the different agencies and has the following quote on it:
A society that makes war against its police had better learn to make friends with criminals.
That's a fact."
-Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, in a July 20, 1995, meeting with federal law enforcement
I've been following the protests, riots, and other activity related to the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. And considering the anti-police sentiment that's arisen and being stoked by certain politicians, the mainstream media, anarchists, and other agenda-driven parties, I was wondering how long it would take before someone in law enforcement uttered the following. From the popular Chicago police blog Second City Cop early Sunday morning:
We're about to see a nationwide "de-policing" shortly.
De-policing. A situation where law enforcement activities are unofficially curtailed.
Comments on that Sunday post lent support to such action:
"De-Policing", hey, I'm all for it! Give the people/folks what they want, maybe then they will be happy!
Essentially de-policing is the solution to all of this nonsense but it must be a concerted effort by all the police and not just one municipality. That will wake bitch slap the media and politicians into realizing what the consequences are of falsely accusing the police of these stupid excessive force accusations. NYPD did it right by telling the jack-off mayor he is persona non grata. For starters that should be done to mayor tiny dancer, libtard Dick Durbin, jack-off soon to be out of a job Holder and a host of others.
Why are we waiting for de-policing to happen? Start right now, answer all calls and do paper. No more rushing to a man with a gun, burglary in progress, person shot. Take your time and get there safely, take down all information. When the detectives get there they can suspend the case until the offender turns himself in and proceed with paper work. Not charged unless they confess, don't bother calling the useless Felony Review or asa Office. Sorry, take it slowly, no more racing around for me on jobs. Gotta go, I feel the flu coming on. Take care of those that mean the most to you!
There was also talk of law enforcement officers coming down with the "blue flu" on that Second City Cop post. In New York City, the flu is also known as a "sick out"- which is what a number of cops out in the "Big Apple" are calling for as the anti-police protests carry on. From Thee RANT Forums ("New York City Cops speaking their minds") website, under "Sick out New Years Eve":
It's been said many times now it has to be done! Bratton sold you all out and the Mayor hates your guts. How many Captains and above on the job 700? let them work the detail on New Years. If everyone goes sick this city will be at a fughing standstill! It needs to be done folks to give everyone a much needed reality check. I'm sure the job has a contingency plan in place where everyone who goes sick will have to report to the Police Academy. How many Surgeons do we have? What could they do? It needs to be done! It will cost 2 days pay perhaps but would be well worth it.
Again, commenters lent support to such activity:
The city and the public need a reality check. Can u imagine what would happen in Manhattan alone. A lot of robbed beat up white-boys.
"De-policing," "Blue flu," "Sick out." Personally, I don't see any of this happening on a large scale just yet. The present animosity being directed at the police isn't coming from the majority of citizens (despite what the MSM would like you to think), and I believe most LEOs realize this.
However, as America's finances continue to deteriorate going forward, I can see such work slowdowns and stoppages occurring with law enforcement. Disputes over wages, pensions, working conditions are likely flashpoints.
If the coming financial crash ever gets as ugly as what's happened in the once-prospering South American country of Argentina, then perhaps we might see incidents like what took place there last year around this time. From the BBC website on December 10, 2013:
At least five people have been killed as looting spreads through Argentina.
Hundreds have been injured as people took advantage of a police strike to rob shops and homes.
Police have refused to go on patrol until their demands for a salary rise are met.
Their move follows a police walkout in Cordoba province last week which also led to lootings, and which was settled after the governor almost doubled officers' pay…

On the third-ever day of this blog (November 24, 2010), I shared the following with readers (not sure I had any at that time though). I think it bears repeating here. I wrote:
This last thought about the individual being ultimately responsible for their own personal protection is hammered home by John S. Farnam, a long-time defensive firearms instructor and deputy sheriff (training officer) in the Park County, Colorado, Sheriff's Office. In The Farnam Method of Defensive Shotgun and Rifle Shooting, the founder and president of Defense Training International wrote:
It is said by enlightened social scientists, "If it rained twenty-dollar bills every Monday morning, there would still be people begging for their dinner ever Monday evening!" The same is true with criminals. No matter how "civilized" or indulgent our society becomes, there will always be criminals. And, the more foolishly dependent we all become upon governmental institutions as the only means of preserving civil order, the more dubious our continued existence becomes, and the more quickly order will disintegrate when our societal underpinnings are crippled or even imperiled. When citizens become additively dependent on an eleemosynary and paternal government to do for them what they could be, and, of right, ought to be, doing for themselves, that civilization's days are surely numbered. Never forget, regardless of how politically incorrect it may sound to the uninformed, your personal security is always your responsibility, and yours alone!

Islamic State May Now Have A Dirty Bomb, But What About A Nuke?
"Militants in Iraq have taken hold of nuclear materials at university science facilities near the northern city of Mosul, the Iraqi government has said in a letter to the United Nations.
But two U.S. officials told CNN on Wednesday that the small amounts of uranium aren't enriched or weapons-grade, prompting only minimal concern…"
-CNN website, July 10, 2014
I remember reading about the Islamic State getting their hands on that nuclear material near Mosul this summer. And I also remember the American response to it happening- which was basically "who cares?"
Now, I distinctly recall what I was thinking when I heard the news:
The caliphate is going to build themselves some dirty bombs.
From the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission website:
A "dirty bomb" is one type of a radiological dispersal device (RDD) that combines conventional explosives, such as dynamite, with radioactive material. The terms dirty bomb and RDD are often used interchangeably in the media. Most RDDs would not release enough radiation to kill people or cause severe illness – the conventional explosive itself would be more harmful to individuals than the radioactive material. However, depending on the situation, an RDD explosion could create fear and panic, contaminate property, and require potentially costly cleanup… A dirty bomb is not a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" but a "Weapon of Mass Disruption," where contamination and anxiety are the terrorists' major objectives
A "weapon of mass disruption." Cute.
On Saturday, the Daily Mirror- a British tabloid- ran the following:
Islamic State fanatics have built a dirty bomb, it has been claimed.
The fighters are said to have made a device using radioactive uranium stolen from Iraq's Mosul University after seizing control of the city last June.
And this week they were boasting of the damage it would cause if blown up in London, although sources insist security measures would make it almost impossible to transport here…
If the bomb does exist, militants are far more likely to use it in Syria or Iraq, rather than trying to smuggle it into a Western country.
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"Although sources insist security measures would make it almost impossible to transport here."
"Militants are far more likely to use it in Syria or Iraq, rather than trying to smuggle it into a Western country."
Not sure I agree with those statements. First off, you don't need to "transport" the components required to construct a dirty bomb. There's a good chance the bad guys would be able to source that locally in the U.K.
Second, going back to that NRC statement about dirty bombs being "weapons of mass disruption" rather than "destruction"- it's my understanding that Iraq and Syria are way past being "disrupted." Why would the Muslim extremists waste such fear-inducing devices there? New York City makes more sense as a potential dirty bomb target. Think Wall Street during the business week or Times Square on New Year's Eve. That's what I'd be trying to prevent if I were still in government and in the counter-terrorism field.
So the caliphate may have a dirty bomb. Not shock there if this turned out to be true considering the relative ease of constructing one. More of a concern should be the Islamic State getting their hands on a nuclear weapon. Why's that? Because these guys have proven themselves to be hard-chargers and probably wouldn't hesitate to detonate the damn thing among their enemies. Joe Cirincione, an expert on nuclear proliferation, penned on the Huffington Post website on November 28:
It is impossible now for ISIS to build a nuclear bomb from scratch. Doing so would require large, industrial facilities to enrich uranium, billions of dollars and gigawatts of energy. But if they could get the highly-enriched uranium — about 100 pounds would do, about the size of a soccer ball — it is possible that they could assemble the equipment and small technical team to build the bomb.
Jeffrey Lewis described in the superb documentary, Countdown to Zero, how few people are actually required to do this and how little it would cost. But it does require a sophisticated operation. ISIS has the capabilities required.
We have never encountered a terrorist group like ISIS. Their demonstrated brutality and willingness to kill large numbers of innocents is shocking, but is now the kind of terrorism that we have become familiar with over the past 20 years. ISIS adds three capabilities that catapult the threat beyond anything seen before: control of large, urban territories, huge amounts of cash (perhaps as much as $2 billion), and a global network of recruits.
With these assets they could illicitly acquire the nuclear material for a bomb from vulnerable storage sites in Russia or Pakistan, and possibly nuclear expertise as well…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Remember that phrase "if you build it, they will come" from the 1989 film Field of Dreams?
It's seems like "if they build it, they will blow s**t up" as it concerns these particular jihadists.

Trust The Ebola 'Pollyannas' At Your Own Peril
"Calm down- America is officially Ebola-free"
-Public Radio International web article headline, November 10, 2014
"America all clear of Ebola- for now"
-Yahoo! News web article headline, November 11, 2014
"Ebola In US Cured, Craig Spencer Released From Hospital, America All Clear"
-Inquisitr.com web article headline, November 12, 2014
One might think reading the above "Pollyannish" headlines that the threat to the United States from the Ebola virus is over. I, for one, remain skeptical. Why's that? Consider the following from Martha Mendoza on the Associated Press website November 1:
Top medical experts studying the spread of Ebola say the public should expect more cases to emerge in the United States by year's end as infected people arrive here from West Africa, including American doctors and nurses returning from the hot zone and people fleeing from the deadly disease.
But how many cases?
No one knows for sure how many infections will emerge in the U.S. or anywhere else, but scientists have made educated guesses based on data models that weigh hundreds of variables, including daily new infections in West Africa, airline traffic worldwide and transmission possibilities.
This week, several top infectious disease experts ran simulations for The Associated Press that predicted as few as one or two additional infections by the end of 2014 to a worst-case scenario of 130…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"As few as one or two additional infections by the end of 2014 to a worst-case scenario of 130."
A number of high-profile preppers with medical backgrounds have weighed-in on the danger posed by Ebola. First, there's Joe Alton, M.D.- aka "Dr. Bones" of Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy-fame. Sharon Churcher wrote on the Daily Mail (UK) website back on Halloween:
Florida surgeon Joe Alton, who believes the US government is deluding American citizens over the risk of infectious disease, says: 'Members of the preparedness community are not crazy. What is crazy is not to be prepared for disasters – preppers are the normal people.
'The US government has a website Ready.gov that says people should always be prepared for natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes and tornadoes and floods. It does not make sense not to also prepare for infectious diseases.'
He says: 'This is a virus that has a 70 percent mortality rate and the experience we've had with the cases in Dallas and New York and with President Obama making 'fairness' a priority over public health and safety has made preppers – including doctors like me — suspicious of the notion that we can rely on the authorities to protect us…
'I think it is highly unlikely that entire communities will be overwhelmed in this country by an epidemic but the situation in Dallas showed that our hospitals are not prepared.'
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
No Ebola epidemic. But likely inside the United States by the sound of it.
Readers may recall that back in August I also talked about Dr. Alton and Nurse and their take on Ebola. From that post:
Joe Alton, M.D.- aka "Dr. Bones" of Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy/The Survival Medicine Handbook-fame- just wrote on the Doom and Bloom website on July 30 in "Ebola Update":
I recommend stocking up on masks, gowns, eye protection, and gloves, and learn about how to have an effective survival sick room.
He added later in the comment section:
The best masks are N95 or N100, the N95 are more readily available and somewhat more breathable. Masks by themselves are not enough, though, some kind of eye protection and coveralls would be useful additions to your medical storage for pandemics.
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Churcher also talked about Tess Pennington, publisher of the Ready Nutrition website and author of The Prepper's Blueprint: The Step-By-Step Guide To Help You Through Any Disaster. From the piece:
Former American Red Cross staffer and mother of three Tess Pennington says: 'I was working at the Dallas chapter of the Red Cross on September 11, and having been through that and a Houston hurricane, 'I firmly believe that every family should be prepared for disasters.
'When Ebola started migrating to America, I bulked up on N100 respirator masks, which block out more particles than N95s, and also on latex gloves, which are the best for bodily fluids because they are non permeable.
'I also have purchased DuPont Tychem suits – twelve suits for each of us: my husband, our 12 year old boy and our 10 year old and 9 year old girls.'
Things may be quiet right now in the U.S. as far as Ebola is concerned. But I suspect that's only temporary based on the above projections.
It's probably only a matter of time before the next Ebola case is discovered on our shores.
If readers were planning to prep for the virus, this lull in the action might be a good time to take care of that. Otherwise, should more cases start popping up in the U.S. again, you may have a hard time getting what you need.

Hacker 'Guccifer': Chicago Targeted For Nuclear Attack In 2015
The recently-apprehended hacker known as "Guccifer" (Marcel-Lehel Lazar, an unemployed 43-year-old Romanian) is in the news today for something he told The New York Times while meeting with them. Andrew Higgins reported on the Times website yesterday:
Before agreeing to answer questions from The New York Times in prison, where he shares a cell with four others, including two convicted murderers, he read out a lengthy handwritten statement that he said explained the purpose of his hacking.
A potpourri of conspiracy theories about the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the 1997 death of Princess Diana and alleged plans for a nuclear attack in Chicago in 2015, it said: "This world is run by a group of conspirators called the Council of Illuminati, very rich people, noble families, bankers and industrialists from the 19th and 20th century."
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
The Times article didn't elaborate on the supposed nuclear strike. And as far as I can tell there's been no mention of it elsewhere out in cyberspace.
Assuming "Guccifer" isn't spinning this tale in an attempt to save his hide, some are already jumping to the conclusion that such an attack would be a "false flag" event perpetrated by this Illuminati.
But what if Mr. Lazar discovered the plans within the e-mails of those powerful individuals whose accounts he was known to hack? In other words, they had intelligence about the coming nuke attack in their possession (it's conceivable having such power/prestige might afford them that privilege) but the event wouldn't be of their doing.
If not them, then who?
Consider what I blogged back on June 1:
WBBM (Chicago) Political Editor Craig Dellimore recently interviewed Robert Holley, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation office in Chicago, for the WBBM Newsradio show At Issue. From their exchange that was uploaded on the show's web page today:
DELLIMORE: With all the headlines about street gangs, shootings, and corruption in and around Chicago, I think people can sometimes forget that terrorism is still a threat here, and is a major focus of what the FBI has to do. We haven't had a major attack here- though there have been some plots thwarted. How real is the threat of terrorism these days?
HOLLEY: I would say, Craig, that the threat that we face now is probably more so than right after 9/11. Al-Qaeda Central has been thwarted in many of the attacks that they have been trying to conduct here in the West and against our allied partners overseas. Through Osama bin Laden being killed, and other leaders within core Al-Qaeda- the core leadership within Al-Qaeda- over the last several years, their ability to plan and conduct operations has been limited. What happened is, it is diffused to other groups. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula- we call them AQAP. Al-Qaeda in Islamic Magreb- AQIM. Al Nusra in Syria. So these are all significant threats- terrorism threats. Although they are headquartered overseas, they have an intent to strike here in the West. And they are actively plotting, recruiting, and training to conduct attacks here in the United States.
DELLIMORE: Is some of this theoretical, or do investigators uncover more concrete signs that Chicago could be a target, at least more so than we average folks might realize?
HOLLEY: I would never describe it as being theoretical. It is an actual threat. And there is no community in the United States that is immune from an attack on their communities. We saw what happened in Boston by two homegrown violent extremists. There have been multiple disruptions through different JTTF (unintelligible word) throughout the FBI in the United States over the last several years. You can look at Lubbock, Texas. Not a large metropolitan area, but had a significant attempt to conduct a terrorist attack there…
"The threat that we face now is probably more so than right after 9/11."
Something for Chicago-area readers to chew on.
Personally, I suspect that if the bad guys got their hands on a nuke, New York City and Lower Manhattan in particular (Wall Street, One World Trade Center) would be in their crosshairs because of its economic and symbolic value. Washington, D.C., would be a close second due to its political importance.
As for Chicago? Well, some would argue Muslim extremists can't do much more damage to the city than "The Machine" hasn't already done.

Are you kidding me? My god. What do they have? Does this building duck? What are they thinking? Who's the corporate sponsor, Target?
-Comedian Chris Rock, on Saturday Night Live this past weekend
One World Trade Center (its legal name/street address, but also called Freedom Tower) is now officially open in Lower Manhattan, New York City:

As much as I hate to say it, there's no doubt in my mind that the tallest skyscraper in the Western hemisphere (standing 1,776 feet) is a tempting target for terrorists. That being said, concern should really set in once the structure is fully-occupied, terrorism naysayers are trotting out "if it hasn't been attacked by now it never will be," and the weather/skies above Lower Manhattan are terrific- so As-Sahab (Al-Qaeda's media wing) can get clear camera footage of the event.
But's it's not an assault directed solely against One World Trade Center that keeps me up at night. Rather, it's the detonation of a nuclear device above/in Lower Manhattan that's of grave concern.
If the bad guys can build it, I think there's a pretty good chance they will use it.
All I can say is, I really hope the American intelligence and anti-terrorism communities can rise to the challenge before/when the time of attack comes.

Chicago Preparing For Potential 9/11 Anniversary Terrorism?
I'm back. And just in time for the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
While I haven't come across anything (yet?) from the feds about any specific terrorist threats related to tomorrow, I see New York City is ramping up "intelligence gathering and visibility."
Good for them. I've come to believe NYC (in particular, One World Trade Center aka Freedom Tower) and Washington, D.C., are primary targets for the Muslim extremists.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago is a target as well. After all, Al-Qaeda has reportedly mentioned the city as being one. I blogged back on May 6, 2011:
After receiving today's marching orders at their place of employment, a number of Chicagoans are settling down at their desks this morning and reading on the Chicago Tribune website:
Some of the first information gleaned from Osama bin Laden's compound indicates al-Qaida considered attacking U.S. trains on the upcoming anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. But counterterrorism officials say they believe the planning never got beyond the initial phase and have no recent intelligence pointing to an active plot for such an attack.
As of February 2010, the terror organization was considering plans to attack the U.S. on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. CNN reports that al-Qaida was particularly interested in striking Washington, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Sounds like Chicago's Al-Qaeda's kind of town, right?
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
I've heard an Al-Qaeda expert or two say the group is big on "celebrating" anniversaries. Along with that purported Islamic State Twitter post with a photo of the Old Republic Building at 307 North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, one might think the City of Chicago, like New York City, would take precautions around 9/11/14.
If they are, major local news outlets aren't reporting it from what I can tell. I just visited a number of MSM news websites a short time ago and didn't see a thing. No news releases from the City of Chicago or its Office of Emergency Management and Communications either.
Now, that's not to say the "Windy City" isn't preparing for a potential terror attack. I'd like to think the City of Chicago and Chicago Police Department are taking a page out of the New York Police Department's playbook when it comes to 9/11 anniversaries. Collen Long of the Associated Press reported yesterday:
New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said the department is prepared.
"We will, as always, ramp up intelligence gathering and visibility," Bratton said. That means thousands of officers in specialized teams, bomb-sniffing dogs who can detect not only the scent of a bomb but the vapors of a moving target, undercover officers and teams of police using radioactive detection devices and other high-tech tools.
Intelligence officers around the globe will be reporting in regularly and monitoring events around the world. If something happens in Gaza, it's instantly felt in New York because of the large Jewish and Palestinian populations.
"Things ricochet real quick here," said intelligence chief Thomas Galati…
Too much to hope for considering the current state of affairs in the CPD?
I understand a new Gallup poll is out showing Americans still aren't concerned about terrorism these days despite the recent emergence of the Islamic State and what looks to be a competition between it and Al-Qaeda to see who can land a major blow against the American homeland first.
I cringe to think such indifference runs rampant among Chicagoans and their leaders too.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke's Advice To Chicago
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., recently spoke at the National Rifle Association's annual convention. Sheriff Clarke, who first grabbed national headlines with a memorable Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office PSA he recorded around the beginning of 2013 (blogged about here), was interviewed right after his speech by Guns.com and had this to say about Chicago's ongoing violence and its police superintendent, Garry McCarthy:
I've been at this for 35 years. I know what works. I know what doesn't work. When it comes to policing, the first thing you have to do is establish a relationship with the community you serve in- because the people have got to be on your side. The overwhelming majority of people in these neighborhoods that are under siege by the criminal element- they are good, law-abiding people. I'm talking like 95 percent of them. They may be poor, they may be uneducated, they may be unemployed- but they're good, law-abiding citizens that want to help and they just want to live in peace and they want safe neighborhoods for them and their families. So you create that relationship- they will help you identify the bad guys. Then you arrest the bad guys and you put together cases that will stand up in court. And after that you need a judiciary- judges at the state level- and you need prosecutors that are on the same page with the police that don't undo the work and send those criminal right back out that revolving door and you keep them locked up for the longest period of time allowable by law. They did it in New York and you saw historic drops in crime and violence in New York. This is the model they used – it's kind of the quality of life, broken windows theory. That stuff works. But everybody's got to be on the same page.
My advice to the city of Chicago would be to get a new police chief. Because he doesn't appear to get it. Just blame the gun stuff, blame the gun, blame the gun. The gun's not the problem. It's the person behind the gun, and that's usually the career criminal that keeps being shown leniency, gets put back into circulation in the neighborhood, re-arms himself, and goes on to kill and maim, and rape and rob good law-abiding citizens. That would be my advice to them.

Forbes: Chicago 'Bringing Up The Rear' In Job Growth
The other day I came across an article on the Forbes website entitled "The Best Cities For Jobs 2014."
I always hope to find Chicago high up on any of these "best" lists.
That wasn't the case here, however.
Joel Kotkin and Michael Shires wrote on April 28:
Bringing Up The Rear
Many large cities continue to lag. Philadelphia, despite being close to New York and its considerable urban amenities, ranks 51st, with paltry 0.9% job growth since 2008. Not much better off, despite its connections to the Obama White House, is Chicago, which places 47th. Not only is the Windy City not adding many jobs (0.5% growth since 2008) but every county in the area, according to recent Census numbers, is losing migrants to other parts of the country…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"0.5% growth since 2008"
Perhaps I should just be happy to hear there was any growth at all.
Still, I'm curious as to what "kinds" of jobs were added.
If they mirror what took place nationally, then they weren't the high-paying positions that were lost during the Great Recession.
And as I've said before on this blog- I can't see any meaningful economic recovery being sustained on the backs of burger-flippers.
(Editor's note: No disrespect intended to burger-flippers. I respect their hard work and savor their end product)

May 30, 2007 California Energy Commission 1516 Ninth Street, MS-25 Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn.: Mr. Payam Bozorgchami: Re: Cool Roof Costs Dear Mr. Bozorgchami, My name is Domenic Morelli. I am the Executive Vice President of Thermo Manufacturing. Thermo has been in the Roofing and primarily the Cool Roof market since 1948. I have personally been privileged and blessed to be in the roofing industry since 1979. Thermo has extensive knowledge and information regarding cool roofs, saving energy, and assisting building owners with a variety of roofing products and systems. I would like to outline a few different systems to show you the costs associated with cool roof benefits, both short term and long term. The information below has been collected from Thermo Manufacturing, several California Contractors, Representatives and Distributors that we presently work with in the State of California. Firstly, I would like to mention that these are normal installed prices for many buildings in the state of California. Some buildings and areas, costs will naturally be higher on any roof system due to access of the building, height of the building, location of the building, existing roof conditions, or owners' needs and desires. Job Example: The Ontario Convention Center. The existing roof in the Convention Center was a 2 Ply SBS Modified Bitumen application with a granule surface. This roof was only 8 years old but had experienced problems in several areas where the modified cap sheet was loose from the modified base sheet. Blisters and flashings were allowing water to penetrate the assembly and cause leaks into the building. The original application was questionable, and the heat in the Ontario area was causing havoc on the roof surface and naturally raising the cost of electricity. A National Roofing Contractor based in Santa Ana, CA installed the new Thermo Cool Roof which included repairs and restorations with Modified Bitumen, SEBS Modified Emulsion and Polyester, Flashing Grade products for all penetrations, sealing and coating all the existing HVAC duct work and then a Thermo Title 24 compliant Cool Roof coating at the rate of 3 gallons per 100 sq. ft. with a minimum mil thickness of 24 mils. This system carries a 10 year renewable warranty from Thermo and the contractor. The installed cost was less than 2.00 per sq. ft. The owner also received a rebate from So Cal Edison for installing a Cool Roof. Since then they have noticed reductions in their monthly energy consumption. This National Contractor gave me a list of their budget costs for owners for the following cool roof applications: White Single Ply Cool Roof installations over existing roof systems: $2.00 to 2.50 a sq. ft. installed. BUR Cap Sheet Roofs with Cool Roof Coating: $2.25 to 2.75 a sq. ft. installed Asphalt Emulsion, Polyester and Cool Roof Coating: $1.75 to 2.25 a sq. ft installed Thermo has seen huge savings and extended life cycle costs for many BUR Roofs and Modified Roofs that we have promoted and installed for customers over the years. Another example was an installation in Oklahoma. The initial installation was a BUR Roof installed by Standard Roofing in the late 1950's. This roof was surfaced with a Thermo Cool Roof coating system. In the late 90's the owner added an addition to the building and called their local contractor who installed the original roof on their facility. To their surprise, he was still in the roofing business and had the same phone number. The father had retired, but his son found the original file, and called the Thermo 800 line. Thermo was pleased to supply Standard Roofing the BUR products and a Thermo Cool Roof surfacing for the new addition of the building. Today the original roof is almost 50 years old and performing beautifully. The life cycle cost for this roof was excellent, with minor maintenance over the life of the roof. There are many different roof systems and assemblies that involve Single Ply, BUR, Mod Bit, Cold Process, Foam, Coatings, and more. Owners have many options available to them depending on their needs and desires for their buildings and roofs. We have determined to install a cool roof on any existing building can be cost effective with a variety of different roof systems and applications in any area of California. The keys to roofing success start with a good design, quality products, application, and then a consistent maintenance program that keep drains clear and handle normal roof maintenance will keep any roof lasting longer and performing well for many years. Thermo has kept roofs maintained and performing for over 50 years. We have a list of projects in CA and the Southwest with schools, universities, governmental projects, and private owners. The Housing Authority of Las Vegas examined Thermo Cool Roof installations in 1975 that were installed by Robert's Roof and Floor Company in 1955. The roof cuts of the 20 year old roof revealed that the bitumen flood coat, asphalt inter ply moppings, and membrane to be soft and pliable with no sign of deterioration. An inexpensive re-coat was recommended and performed which will enhance the appearance and extend the life expectancy another twenty years. Thermo has documentation from Testing Engineers, Inc. of San Diego, CA dated August 12, 1966 that identifies Federal Standard Testing Reflectance of 85.5. We have a letter from TRW based in El Segundo, CA dated March 5, 1984 that states the Thermo Cool Roof that was installed decreased their energy consumption approximately 18% over the previous 6 months, at a critical time to reduce overhead costs. They expect a payback of this roof in energy savings in less than 2 years. Cool Roofs are beneficial and cost saving, for owners, building occupants, installers of the roofing systems, and the surrounding communities. We will be pleased to supply more documentation if requested that outlines how Cool Roofs are excellent short term and long term solutions for energy savings, and beneficial to people, communities, natural resources, and landfills. Respectfully, Domenic Morelli Executive Vice President Thermo Manufacturing 301 Walnut Springs Rd. Lindale, TX 75771 800-882-7007 www.thermomfg.com email@example.com

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Show Reviews (2)
Quite unlike most sitcoms
Based on David Nobbs comic novels, Leonard Rossiter stars as the middle-aged, middle-class, middle manager Reginald Perrin, who longs for a life that is just out of his reach. Despite his best efforts to break free from the conformity that he sees all around him, he never quite succeeds. Gradually his brain parts company with normality, and madness takes over. Reggie soon fakes his own death, attends his own funeral, and falls in love with his wife again.
A fine and funny cast making up friends, family and enemies surrounds Perrin. Outstanding writing and hilarious acting make this one of the greats.
Great Stuff
"1, 2 , 3, 4 make them wait outside the door 5, 6, 7, 8 It always pays to make them wait 9, 10 COME!" The perfect phrase for dealing with bosses and employees that came from this fantastic show. I used it everyday at work, it's perfect! I watched this show on PBS on the weekends when they replay comedies from the BBC like Monty Python, The Goodies, Good Neighbors and Reginald Perrin. This is one show that deserves a DVD set because I will certainly be a customer. The show followed Reginald from employee to super powerful Executive millionaire and back down to nothing then on the rise again. The characters were hilarious and it actually made me want some of that Potato wine his son in law makes.moreless

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Multi-millionaire singer Linda Ronstadt came out last week to say that she has Parkinson's disease, and can no longer sing. The 67-year-old singer, with a dynamic vocal range, says she began experiencing symptoms around eight years ago.

Published in Music
Keywords: Linda Ronstadt, Parkinson's disease, singer, career, symptoms
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Ronstadt discussed her disease with AARP magazine in an interview. The 11-time Grammy Award winner's memoir, "Simple Dreams," will be published next month.
Diagnosed about eight months ago, Ronstadt said she began experiencing symptoms eight years ago, such as hand tremors and trouble controlling the muscles that allowed her to sing. "No one can sing with Parkinson's disease," Ronstadt said. "No matter how hard you try."
She formerly attributed the ailments to a tick bite until she was finally properly diagnosed by a neurologist.
"I couldn't sing," she told AARP music reporter Alanna Nash, "and I couldn't figure out why. I knew it was mechanical. I knew it had to do with the muscles, but I thought it might have also had something to do with the tick disease that I had. And it didn't occur to me to go to a neurologist."
She also says that she had undergone a shoulder operation, believed to be the culprit for her trembling hands.
"Parkinson's is very hard to diagnose, so when I finally went to a neurologist and he said, 'Oh, you have Parkinson's disease,' I was completely shocked," she said. "I wouldn't have suspected that in a million, billion years."
Throughout her career, which began when she was just 14 years old singing with her siblings, Ronstadt accumulated 11 Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, a Tony Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her role in "The Pirates of Penzance." She released her first studio album in 1969 ("Hand Sown . Home Grown") and her most recent in 2006 ("Adieu False Heart").
Ronstadt turned out chart-scaling hits during the 1970s and '80s, including "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," "You're No Good" and "Just One Look." Ronstadt now uses poles to assist her when walking on uneven ground and travels with a wheelchair.
The 11-time Grammy winner's last album was released in 2006.

Superior bad discard and survival of the fittest Business management, Superior bad discard and survival of the fittest Business management, Superior bad discard and survival of the fittest People often says, market competition is superior bad discard. But think carefully, what is " actor " , what is " bad " ? This appears very bright the question answers hard really. In Zhang Xizhen (insanity) go up by the side of the Xiaolu of home town, growing a kind of everybody calls it " dogskin gathers up child " careless (what does formal name call, insanity still does not know) , this kind of grass is in " the car grinds a person to step on Ma Fu to step (the line of Zhang Xihua of my eldest brother) " on alley edge, always become piece into piece tenacious growth is worn, and often embezzlement arrives in the center of not quite wide path come. Some day of insanity and friend Jiang Hongliang break out crank: In why arriving home this kind of soddy transplanting, a small lawn is built in the home! Two people say to work, scoop in alley edge a soddy transplant arrives on a clearing in Home Jiang Hongliang, jiang Hongliang often still waters it fertilization. But after period of time, the problem came out. Be in what all of one suit goes up by the side of Xiaolu originally " dogskin gathers up child " in sod, grew a lot of fireweed now. At the beginning Jiang Hongliang still thinks through pulling out artificially the method of fireweed maintains this lawn " pure " , can be fireweed is long too fast, unplug do not unplug, be forced to abandon finally disregard. After half an year, insanity sees this to Home Jiang Hongliang again " lawn " , had been " 100 careless garden " , cannot find what think vitality is the strongest so actually among them " dogskin gathers up child " . Why to fall in the sort of harsh environment side Xiaolu, "Dogskin gathers up child " what can grow is very good, and transplant is excellent in, water it fertilization, caress meticulously to it, didn't it live to go down instead however? Insanity and friend discuss a long time, realize eventually understood, this " dogskin gathers up child " special competence, can be able to bear or endure particularly namely " trample " , get ceaselessly in alley edge " trample " in the environment, other fireweed cannot bear, cannot live, became instead " dogskin gathers up child " " heaven " . And change a relatively superior environment, the limitative element that other weeds grows was done not have, and " dogskin gathers up child " the nature is to sticking the ground to grow, cannot compete with other fireweed " headroom " sunshine bounty, be enclothed by fireweed gradually, lost those who live " influence " . This can make remember " black tornado " meet " in billow white " scene, "Advantage " play does not come out in appropriate environment. Still listen to Ai Feng to make a speech once, ai Feng asks authority, "The tiger is fierce or mice is fierce " , ai Feng says, "Mice is fiercer than the tiger " , everybody laughs. What actually Ai Feng says is reasonable, from the point of individual doughty sex, mice cannot be compared with tiger photograph of course, but, in the environmental change process that in human development the activity brings, the tiger is fed Source of goods and materials decreases gradually, the tiger also is in chronic hunger drop off, became finally " protective animal " . The word that uses Ai Feng says, "The tiger is very pitiful " . And Where is mice? Although people is in every day,try to eliminate them, but they can keep away from the mice medicine of people and bludgeon, find many food natural resources, ceaseless multiply haunt. Who " actor " who " bad " , who most " fierce " , so easy still answer? Advantage and inferior position, contact with ambient conditions photograph so. In ecology, have " zoology " concept, the definition that the biologist gives out is: "Zoology the interval limits that is the change of different environment factor that shows biology suits to live in the environment. " (Yang Dong just wait, 2004) this definition very " learning " , insanity gives change common nonstandard view: "Zoology " be the harmony that points to species and environment and unified, be species and environment " agree " . The specific time place that every biology species has to suit oneself to live most in long-term struggle for existence, space position and functional position. Species is taller to the fitness of resource and environment, criterion the pressure that its live is less. Look so, darwinism is alleged " superior bad discard " it is a fuzzy concept really, extortionary cover this concept, can be only " get the better of " person regard " actor " , " be defeated " person regard " bad " , what be equal to to also did not say actually. The enterprise is in the life of higher administrative levels to exist than organism as, also should imitate is natural, comprehend a few enterprises from which live the path of development. The understanding of insanity is, not " superior bad discard " act according to to criterion, darwinism is actually medium at the back of this back-to-back word " survival of the fittest " just be withstand test " the truth " . Place of positive-appearing image the ancients says: Courser can adventure, agrarian cropland is inferior to an ox; Firm car can carring capacity, cross a river to be inferior to a boat; Abandon long with short, wisdom person be a hard job to seek; Raw material is expensive applicable, careful do not make excessive demands more. Management enterprise, want above all " understanding yourself " , find oneself advantage gene, him avoid weak force gene, be in like Collins " from outstanding to outstanding " in tell in that way, find oneself " hedgehog concept " . Next, should as far as possible avoid to happen with other company " zoology jackknife " , do not think oneself are a certain domain " superior " person, without any consideration the zoology domain of the person that enter inferior position be regardinged as by oneself, be careful " dragon defect decharge gets shrimp play, the tiger falls level land meets with canine bully " ; Cannot enter blindly more " strong " person feudal, become big fish dauntlessly to take the victim of small fish. Although won't complete escape competes, but as long as likely, have to keep away from of the competitor restrict, Avoid bilateral and meaningless contention, use the resource that still has no adversary competition, build oneself not to produce jackknife with other company " zoology " , or be in what overlap lesser as far as possible " zoology " in live development. The 3rd, after the advantage gene that uses oneself forms his characteristic, should match in him oneself characteristic and environmental element photograph, agree " zoology " in become " the most comfortable " person, expand oneself special capacity ceaselessly, become the dominant position that other company cannot compete to it, say like father place, "The husband is not contended for only, criterion the world not is contended for to it " . Find the environment that fits most, do the business that fits most, just be management highest wisdom. The work that Heermanximeng did not cause how many person that to take seriously in him " invisible champion -- the whole world 500 beautiful are anonymous the successful line of the company " final summary says: "Invisible champion company is the route that takes his development " .

I was just wondering some hidden potential in a device I own, and after thinking a while, came up with this:
If an email is sent to "firstname.lastname@example.com" (this would be specific to the device) from a specific sender, with a part of the body of the message containing a link, can I make a PHP script that accesses said account via POP3, detect emails sent to the address via a specific sender, and then download the file (link) in the email with string "http://www.domain.com/redirect.html?_encoding=" to a directory on my server?
Basically this:
specified sender emails "email@example.com" with an email that contains a link specified above. PHP script (being called by a web browser) uses POP3 to download the link in the email from the specified sender, saves it to "C:\directory\filename.suffix" automatically?
Even better, is it possible without a PHP script, something that would automatically download the link when the email is received and save it to a directory on the local computer?
Thanks, I'm just trying to find if it is even possible and not waste my time.

7.EE Guess My Number
Laila tells Julius to pick a number between one and ten. "Add three to your number and multiply the sum by five," she tells him. Next she says, "Now take that number and subtract seven from it and tell me the new number." "Twenty-three," Julius exclaims.
- Write an expression that records the operations that Julius used.
- What was Julius' original number?
- In the next round Leila is supposed to pick a number between 1 and 10 and follow the same instructions. She gives her final result as 108. Julius immediately replies: "Hey, you cheated!" What might he mean?
IM Commentary
This problem asks the students to represent a sequence of operations using an expression and then to write and solve simple equations. The problem is posed as a game and allows the students to visualize mathematical operations. It would make sense to actually play a similar game in pairs first and then ask the students to record the operations to figure out each other's numbers.
Some students will write $$(x+4) \cdot 5-7$$ Many students translate word problems literally and place numbers in the problem as they appear in the sentences/paragraph. This provides a good opportunity to talk about the properties of operations and how they can be used to write the same expression in different ways.
The last part of the task in particular is meant to generate classroom discussion, and isn't meant for e.g. high-stakes assessment situations.
The unknown variable here is Julius' original number. Let $n$ be Julius' original number. We know from Laila's directions that first, Julius added three to his number:$$ n+3 $$
She then told him to multiply this sum by five:$$ 5(n+3) $$
Finally, she told him to subtract seven from this number:$$ 5(n+3)-7 $$
This is the expression that records the operations that Julius used.
Julius exclaims that his new number after performing Laila's instructions is twenty-three. So we set our expression from part (a) equal to 23 and solve for $n$, Julius' original number.$$ 5(n+3)-7 = 23 $$ $$ 5n + 15 = 30 $$ $$ 5n = 15 $$ $$ n=3 $$
Thus, Julius' original number was three.
To find Laila's number we solve$$ 5(n + 3) − 7 = 108. $$
We find $n = 20$. So Laila did not follow the instructions of using a number between 1 and 10.

Whether you operate a brick and mortar shop or run an on-line information product business that is strictly. Convincing your customers that your revenue offer is worth buy vine comments can often be a problem. Client resistance can be greatly reduced by you enhance your conversion rates although by the addition of video into your advertising approach. The reason being video supplies a sound, visible, personal and physical demonstration of precisely what they are going to get if they end up buying from you.
Listed below are quite a few edges of video promotion over marketing with articles:
Video is entertaining- a large most men and women would prefer to view a movie in regards to a topic than read a novel. This clarifies why the movie market is not so unsuccessful and why YouTube has billions of video views per day. Obviously, anything entertaining markets better therefore utilising movie to advertise your services and products is a wise choice.
Video enables you to showcase service and your merchandise in a to the point and amusing style when compared with text in great detail. Just picture how intense it will be for an auto supplier to make an effort to explain the latest Honda version he has compared to his competitor, who shot a video of the automobile that is real. As their video pictures alone help to offer the item, physical merchandise work nicely with marketing that is video. Really some movies do not even need a voice over if you know how to sensibly showcase the physical features of an item.
Movie additionally gives a quicker strategy to speak to folks. A brief and well produced 2-minute video can talk more than 1000-word article that takes 10 minutes to read.
Movie h-AS less distractions- frequently once people begin seeing a video, it will be watched by them to the end. With text their train of thought cans break. Video provides a method to get your advertising message across consistent.
Movies are not more difficult to make than articles for many people. Many company owners and individuals generally interruption could earnestly agree to to carry a camera and shoot on a video, although when requested to write articles. With all the advent of smartphone cameras and simple to use digital camera models, just about anybody can shoot a buy vine likes making it a low-cost, rapid and easy option to any business owner.

Erodium chamaedryoides ' Bishops Form'
Hi all -
Never been to this forum before, but I have a question for you knowledgable Geranium folk. I just purchased Erodium chamaedryoides ' Bishops Form' and know next to nothing about it. I found some info on Erodiums in general, that they are in the Geranium family, and of course, that they are hardy. I'm hoping hardy to Zone 6, which is where I live. What I'm really wondering is if this will grow in light shade. I have a great deal of shade in my back yard, and the tag says it will grow in part shade. What light I do have might not be what is considered 'part shade', but I do have an area that might get dappled sun for perhaps a total of two hours max. Would this grow there? Remember, I live in the South, which can get pretty darn hot in the summer! Thanks so much - hoping someone out there grows this and can give me a little info. I didn't really know what it was when I bought it, but it looked special, so now it's my new baby!
I have an Erodium, but not the one you mentioned. Mine grows in NH and gets bright shade with dappled sun. My guess is that the spot you mentioned may work fine. What are your other options? I just looked it up, mine is E. chrysanthum.
Best of luck with yours.
Update: My little Erodium seems to be happy. It's flowered nicely - not busting out with blooms, but it's doing pretty well! The little spot it's in gets a nice shaft of light for a couple of hours and then bright shade after that. It gets pretty darn hot here in the summer, so I'm thinking it will do all right there. We shall see. I just hope that it comes back. Someone else told me on the Oklahoma forum that theirs didn't come back. But - I think I live in a microclimate and have a chance. I have a couple of things that come back for me quite well that aren't supposed to! My other options are to make more flowerbeds LOL! Got to convince hubby!
I just got one of these and am hoping that it spreads. Doesn't look as if it does, though, from the plant descriptions I've read. ChlorophyllJill should be able to tell me, though. So if you still get messages from the gardenweb, let me know, please, if yours ever spread beyond its 1-2' stated size. Thanks! Carol
E. chrysanthum is a very hardy erodium and is even hardy here in zone 4, but the 'Bishop's Form' is more like zone 8 or 9 and I have to bring them indoors in the winter. I grow them in my sunny rockery, but perhaps shaded areas would be best in the south. Both chamaedryoides and 'Bishops's Form' are both OLD NAMES. The plant is now known as Erodium reichardii 'William Bishop'.

Polygamist Parents Must Learn "Evils of Polygamy"
Polygamist Parents Must Learn "Evils of Polygamy"
Chaotic custody hearings for the children removed from a polygamist compound began yesterday and will continue for three weeks. Texas' Child Protective Services (CPS) has come up with a vague plan for what to do with the 460 children removed from the polygamous compound: return as many children to the FLDS parents as possible.
If all the children were to remain in the most basic level of foster care next year, it would cost the state $21 million. While the details are still being worked out, CPS has articulated some of the conditions for custody. To see what they are, read more.
Parents who want their children to return will have to: live independently and off the compound, find a job, and attend counseling and parent classes. A lawyer for one of the eight-year-old girls told NPR that the state wants the parents to understand the "evils of polygamy."
Currently, polygamous parents are traveling across vast Texas to take advantage of the hour visitation time granted for each child each week. Do you think they will be wiling to meet the state's custody preconditions? Would it be better to try to place as many children as possible with relatives outside of the FLDS?
Does the framework, which seems to dictate a lifestyle that does not include communal living, offend your notion of individual freedom? What about freedom of religion or a parent's right to raise their children? Have the parents sacrificed these rights by subjecting their children to crimes like abuse and rape?
