I am a total beginner and I now know how to finish a project but I am not clear on how you add join new yarn in the middle of a project. The way I am doing it looks very messy and also the two ends want to come out of the crochet stich that I am joining the two yarns at. In particular, I am having trouble when joining in a double crochet.

gmwill....I have made the twist scarf pattern 2 times and it is very fast and easy. "do not turn..." means do not turn the work back on itself for the second row. After you make the cluster at the end, continue to work around the chain. The next stitches are worked on the opposite side of the chain. Let me know if you need anything else.

Letter: Climate change threat to community's health
Climate change not only will cause our extinction and the destruction of the Earth, it is a threat to our health here, now, in our communities.
As a health professional, I don't just make believe I love my kids and grandkids. I struggle for renewable fuels use only, as this is our, and their, only hope of existence. As any sane person would conclude, the magnitude of the threat requires bold national action.

Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin
Random House, Aug 31, 2011 - History - 544 pages
In the middle of Europe, in the middle of the twentieth century, the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow. In a twelve-year-period, in these killing fields - today's Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Western Russia and the eastern Baltic coast - an average of more than one million citizens were slaughtered every year, as a result of deliberate policies unrelated to combat.
In his revelatory book Timothy Snyder offers a ground-breaking investigation into the motives and methods of Stalin and Hitler and, using scholarly literature and primary sources, pays special attention to the testimony of the victims, including the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. The result is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative and original book that forces us to re-examine the greatest tragedy in European history and re-think our past.

Lover caught in tragedy or cold-blooded killer?
Bail hearing for double-amputee Olympian begins
PRETORIA, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius portrayed himself as a lover caught in tragedy, wielding a pistol and frightened as he stood only on his stumps, then killed his girlfriend after mistaking her for an intruder on Valentine's Day.
Prosecutors, however, said the double-amputee Olympian committed premeditated murder, planning the slaying, then firing at Reeva Steenkamp as she cowered behind his locked bathroom door with no hope of escape.
"She couldn't go anywhere," prosecutor Gerrie Nel told a packed courtroom Tuesday. "It must have been horrific."
Weeping uncontrollably, Pistorius listened as his words were read out in court by his lawyer during the opening of a two-day bail hearing, his first public account of the events surrounding the shooting death of Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model and reality TV star who had spoken out against violence against women.
"I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder, as I had no intention to kill my girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp," Pistorius said in the sworn affidavit. "I deny the aforesaid allegation in the strongest terms."
It was the first time the prosecution and Pistorius provided details of their radically divergent accounts of the killing, which has shocked South Africans and fans worldwide, who idolized the 26-year-old track star known as the Blade Runner for overcoming his disability to compete in last summer's London Olympics.
Nel said Pistorius committed premeditated murder when he rose from his bed after a fight with Steenkamp, pulled on his prosthetic legs and walked about six metres from his bedroom to the locked toilet door and pumped it with four bullets, three of which hit the model.
That contradicted the runner's statement, read aloud by defence lawyer Barry Roux, who described how the couple spent a quiet night together in the athlete's upscale home in a gated community in the capital of Pretoria, then went to sleep around 10 p.m.
Sometime before dawn, Pistorius said, he awoke and, walking only on his stumps, pulled a fan in from an open balcony and closed it. That's when he said he heard a noise and became alarmed because the bathroom window, which had no security bars, was open and workers had left ladders nearby.
"It filled me with horror and fear," Pistorius said in the statement.
"I am acutely aware of violent crime being committed by intruders entering homes," he said. "I have received death threats before. I have also been a victim of violence and of burglaries before. For that reason, I kept my firearm, a 9-mm Parabellum, underneath my bed when I went to bed at night."
Too frightened to turn on a light, Pistorius said, he pulled out his pistol and headed for the bathroom, believing Steenkamp was still asleep "in the pitch dark" of the bedroom.
"As I did not have my prosthetic legs on and felt extremely vulnerable, I knew I had to protect Reeva and myself," he said, adding he shouted to Steenkamp to call the police as he fired at the closed toilet door.
It was then, Pistorius said, he realized Steenkamp was not in bed.
He said he pulled on his prosthetic legs and tried to kick down the toilet door before finally giving up and bashing it in with a cricket bat. Inside, he said, he found Steenkamp, slumped over but still alive. He said he lifted her bloodied body and carried her downstairs to seek medical help.
But it was too late. "She died in my arms," Pistorius said.
"We were deeply in love and I could not be happier," the athlete said. "I know she felt the same way. She had given me a present for Valentine's Day but asked me only to open it the next day."
Pistorius broke down in sobs repeatedly as his account was read, prompting Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair to call a recess at one point.
"Maintain your composure," the magistrate said. "You need to apply your mind here."
"Yes, my lordship," Pistorius replied, his voice quivering.
Nair adjourned the case until today without ruling on whether Pistorius would be granted bail. However, he said the gravity of the charge -- which carries a mandatory life sentence -- meant the athlete's lawyers must offer "exceptional" reasons for bail to be granted, making his release unlikely.
Roux, the defence lawyer, said there was no evidence to substantiate a murder charge. "We submit it is not even murder. There is no concession this is a murder," he said.
The prosecutor disagreed.
"It is our respectful argument that 'pre-planning' or premeditation do not require months of planning," Nel said. "If... I ready myself and walk a distance with the intention to kill someone, it is premeditated."
Hundreds of kilometres from the Magistrate's Court, a memorial service was held for Steenkamp in the south coast city of Port Elizabeth. Six pallbearers carried her coffin, draped with a white cloth and covered in white flowers, into the church for the private service and cremation.
Relatives recalled how the model with a law degree had campaigned against domestic violence and had planned to don black for a "Black Friday" protest in honour of a 17-year-old girl who was recently gang-raped and mutilated.
South Africa has some of the world's worst rates of violence against women and the highest rate in the world of women killed by an intimate partner, according to a study by the Medical Research Council, which said at least three women are killed by a partner every day in the country of 50 million.
Since the shooting, several of Pistorius' sponsors have dropped him. On Tuesday, Clarins Group, which owns Thierry Mugler Perfumes, said it would withdraw all advertising featuring the Olympian. A cologne line with the company, called A(asterisk)Men, bears his image.

Undaunted Courage
Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West
By Stephen E. Ambrose
(Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9780684811079, 512pp.)
Publication Date: February 15, 1996

From the bestselling author of the definitive book on D-Day comes the definitive book on the most momentous expedition in American history and one of the great adventure stories of all time.
In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson selected his personal secretary, Captain Meriwether Lewis, to lead a voyage up the Missouri River to the Rockies, over the mountains, down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, and back. Lewis was the perfect choice. He endured incredible hardships and saw incredible sights, including vast herds of buffalo and Indian tribes that had had no previous contact with white men. He and his partner, Captain William Clark, made the first map of the trans-Mississippi West, provided invaluable scientific data on the flora and fauna of the Louisiana Purchase territory, and established the American claim to Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Ambrose has pieced together previously unknown information about weather, terrain, and medical knowledge at the time to provide a colorful and realistic backdrop for the expedition. Lewis saw the North American continent before any other white man; Ambrose describes in detail native peoples, weather, landscape, science, everything the expedition encountered along the way, through Lewis's eyes.
Lewis is supported by a rich variety of colorful characters, first of all Jefferson himself, whose interest in exploring and acquiring the American West went back thirty years. Next comes Clark, a rugged frontiersman whose love for Lewis matched Jefferson's. There are numerous Indian chiefs, and Sacagawea, the Indian girl who accompanied the expedition, along with the French-Indian hunter Drouillard, the great naturalists of Philadelphia, the French and Spanish fur traders of St. Louis, John Quincy Adams, and many more leading political, scientific, and military figures of the turn of the century.
This is a book about a hero. This is a book about national unity. But it is also a tragedy. When Lewis returned to Washington in the fall of 1806, he was a national hero. But for Lewis, the expedition was a failure. Jefferson had hoped to find an all-water route to the Pacific with a short hop over the Rockies-Lewis discovered there was no such passage. Jefferson hoped the Louisiana Purchase would provide endless land to support farming-but Lewis discovered that the Great Plains were too dry. Jefferson hoped there was a river flowing from Canada into the Missouri-but Lewis reported there was no such river, and thus no U.S. claim to the Canadian prairie. Lewis discovered the Plains Indians were hostile and would block settlement and trade up the Missouri. Lewis took to drink, engaged in land speculation, piled up debts he could not pay, made jealous political enemies, and suffered severe depression.
High adventure, high politics, suspense, drama, and diplomacy combine with high romance and personal tragedy to make this outstanding work of scholarship as readable as a novel.
Dr. Stephen Ambrose was a renowned historian and acclaimed author of more than thirty books. Among his New York Times bestsellers are Nothing Like It in the World, Citizen Soldiers, Band of Brothers, D-Day - June 6, 1944, and Undaunted Courage. Dr. Ambrose was a retired Boyd Professor of History at the University of New Orleans and a contributing editor for the Quarterly Journal of Military History. He also participated in numerous national television programs, including shows appearing on the History Channel and National Geographic.
"Stephen Ambrose is that rare breed: a historian with true passion for his subject. Here he takes one of the great, but also one of the most superficially considered, stories in American history and breathes fresh life into it. Lewis comes alive as we've never known him."
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS "Only Stephen Ambrose, with his love of the Northwest and his deep understanding of the American past, clould have written this luminous and lyrical book. Undaunted Courage is at once a tale of mythic proportions, a poignant human drama, and an essential piece of our history that allows the reader to be a silent and fascinated passenger on the fateful journey of Lewis and Clark."
DAYTON DUNCAN Author of Out West "Stephen Ambrose had combined his considerable taslents as an historian with his personal enthusiasm for the Lewis and Clark expedition to bring to life one of America's greatest-and most enigmatic-explorers. Undaunted Courage puts you in Meriwether Lewis's moccasins, all the way across the great American West."

Hup holland hup ! Laat de leeuw niet in zijn hempie staan !
I wonder how many years it will cost to have a built in After Effects kind of tool inside a smart phone, that will be even easier to use.
Going a bit off topic though, as you mentioned Ben, the technology moving at an exponential rate. Is this something anyone could see possible? I'm afraid i can.
felt_tips, in your opinion, what do you think is the future of VideoHive. I am talking from the authors perspective. With so many projects being uploaded at such a fast rate, do you think it will become easier or more harder to make money here?
In my opinion it will be way harder to expose yourself more to the masses. You have to focus more. Get it? (Mass Focus)?
No but seriously, original and big project files will be more rewarded in the end i think since for most of the big buyers here, you are selling TIME . All our templates are mostly time savers for many. So until time is not money , time savers will always sell in my opinion, until the end of time.
But then again like Felt mentioned; Stock is changing so anything is possible.
Hi, I have send a Lower thirds motion graphics and it was be rejected for the reason of "This file does not meet or quality standards" but I think and you can see my lower thirds are better than a another a can see on the site so wy and if not send me your feedback about it thanks. ;)¸
Hi Burny,
Don't worry, everyone gets their item rejected at some point. Just keep on working until it gets accepted. I am sure you can pull off something better
They have their reasons to reject files so nothing else to do than just try again.
Congratulations man, you worked hard to get it. Much deserved !
DanielKeller is a forumSuperrrstarrr ! Very nice help you provided man, thumbs up.
Hi m8,
We have a thread about this with suggestions and experiences from other users.
If you still cant get it to work your best option would be to contact support on this matter.
I know the frustration Good luck with it
Yo Ben, I agree a confirm button wouldn't hurt anyone and it would provide some buffer for these accidents.
Btw, i removed my own comment up there because some people were not pleased how i reacted.. or overreacted.. Couldn't help myself though, when i see outstanding work i kinda get emotional like that and words just flow out my fingers
Congrats Filips ! I must fairly admit i am envious… but hey who isn't ? Never the less you are the man for the job, happy reviewing ! (gotta love these new smileys lol)
Totally agree with you Ben. First impression is key in situations on Videohive, small mistakes like you mentioned are giving the impression that one might be slacking in presenting a file so they are automatically biassed about the work itself.

career in ad film making
hi im amrita..
im really interested in ad film making. im an advertising graduate
(with a 1st class) and also have taken trainning in filmmaking..
so where is the best place to start from.. an ad agency or production houses
.... im interested in ( creative)conceptualising....for the ad films..
15 comments
why did you think of production houses first?
from my experience the creative conceptualising she is looking for is mostly done on the agency side..
Yes but i think it would be better to build some strong technical skills and knowledge before going to the Agency creative side! my opinion is that she should acquire strong Technical skills about productions and be part of big productions before moving into an agency.

Hi Folks,
Could some help me out for my career in Ad films? Here are the current profile which I'm holding off.
Highest Qualification: B.tech - 2008 passed out.
Aspiration: To do work in Ad agencies.
IT Employee..
Bottom Line: could some one let me know is it possible for me to pursue career in Ad agencies? Does really require to hold Fine arts degree to get in to it as graduate? Is it possible for me to to PG from one of good institution in india? like MICA,FTII,any more other?
Please some one could reply on this. It would be really helpful for me if anyone do so.
I've work at an ad agency as a copywriter where I came up with TV ads, and I have interned at a post production facility and been accepted to a film school so I have some experience in both worlds. If you want to concept and come up with ideas for the commercial, that would be the ad agency side of things. A copywriter and art director work under a creative director to come up with ideas that must be sold to the client. Then you hire a director and production company to take it from there. If you want to direct commercials, which means you take the ad agency's idea and then figure out the best way to execute it, then you would want to work for a production company. A great director can take an ok idea and make it great, or make a great idea amazing, and if you are good at it you will be sought after and rewarded nicely. However, if you want to take that route I would suggest film school and work on your own narrative/commercial projects there. Directors need to have their own voice and unique way of seeing the world (take Michel Gondry for instance). If you want to come up with the ads I would suggest an ad school that will help you put together a portfolio to get you hired into an agency. You would also work on print, web and outdoor ads as well. The TV component has been shrinking lately so you will have to fight to get that. The ownership of the ideas really belongs to everyone involved, some more than others. It's all about collaboration. Both routes are hard (with film direction being more competitive because there are less spots). I would try to figure what part of the process you enjoy most-- the idea part or the execution part, though both routes require expertise in both. Hope that helps a little.

Police ID motorcyclist who died after running into parked truck
Police are investigating why a 58-year-old man on a motorcycle crashed into a parked truck in south Wichita Sunday night.
The rider, Kevin S. Newman, died later at Via Christi Hospital St. Francis, Lt. Joe Schroeder said. He was not wearing a helmet and was ejected from his 2005 Harley-Davidson by the collision.
The collision occurred at about 8:30 p.m. in the 2200 block of South Santa Fe. That's a residential neighborhood southeast of Broadway and Mount Vernon.
"At this point we don't know why" Newman hit the pickup, Schroeder said.
There were no other drivers involved in the incident and no obvious signs of impairment for Newman, he said. The pickup was legally parked.
Newman is the fourth person killed in a motorcycle crash this year in Wichita, statistics show. There have now been 26 collisions that have killed 29 people in Wichita in 2013, Schroeder said.
That compares to 21 deaths in 21 collisions by this point in 2012, including four motorcycle fatalities.

I need to make an online image resizing program that uses the Lanczo's Algorithm, which I hear is the best algorithm to reduce image size. How would I go about doing this? I have knowledge of PHP but I'm willing to learn other languages if I need to.
I understand that PHP does have it's own image resize function, but it's not very good compared to Lanczo's so would it be possible to change the PHP resize algorithm to Lanczo's?
If not, are there are other programming languages that make it easier to write an image resize tool in?

Catholic Prayer: Prayer in Honor of St.Louise de Marillac
O Gracious God, Saint Louise devoted her life to helping Saint Vincent de Paul serve the needs of the poor. She often taught: "Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them, as you would honor Christ Himself." I lift up to You the programs in my church and community that help the needy, and the people who do the work. Multiply the donations. Teach me how to think generously. Give me a heart that desires to care for the poor as if I were serving Jesus directly, and help me to see Jesus in each person that begs on the street corner or church door. Saint Louise, pray for us. Amen.Prayer Source: Prayers from Various Websites

Megan Fox's potty mouth cost her a major, major job.
When Fox, 25, left the mega-successful "Transformers" franchise last year -- replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" -- everyone involved with the project remained mum.
PHOTOS: Megan's amazing body over the years
But now, with the new flick set for theaters next month, some of the major players are speaking up to GQ about the fracas.
"She was there for rehearsals," Ehren Kruger, the series' screenwriter, tells of Fox. "But she seemed like an actress who didn't want to be a part of it. She was saying she wanted to, but she wasn't acting like it."
PHOTOS: Megan Fox vs. Angelina Jolie
Fox famously complained to British mag Wonderland that director Michael Bay "wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for."
Explains Bay: "She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused. And you know, the Hitler thing."
Even executive producer Steven Spielberg got wind of Fox's inflammatory comments. "Steven [Spielberg] said, 'Fire her right now,'" Bay reveals to GQ.
PHOTOS: Megan's sexy Transformers style
"Criticism is one thing," star Shia LaBeouf reasons. "Then there's public name-calling, which turns into high school bashing. Which you can't do. She started s***-talking our captain."
Bay insists he "wasn't hurt" by Fox's snipe. "Because I know that's just Megan. Megan loves to get a response. And she does it in kind of the wrong way. I'm sorry, Megan. I'm sorry I made you work twelve hours. I'm sorry that I'm making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy."
PHOTOS: Megan and other stars obsessed with Marilyn Monroe
Fox even sent her own white flag -- a text message -- to Bay three months ago, he says. "She said, 'I hope you're doing well.'...When you're days and months on a set, it's like a family. You say rude things and you make up."

It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.
Frank Zappa
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
Isaac Newton
I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.

Help support your MeetupChip in
Central Ohio Riders Meetup Group based in Columbus OH is for seasoned (at least one full season) MOTORCYCLE riders who are interested in riding the roads. We are well organized, sponsored, experienced and safe. Are you seeking a MOTORCYCLE riders' group with mature and safe motorcyclists? This group is for you. Do you want to avoid being part of a rolling road block? This group is for you. If you are a hot-dogger or thrill seeker (squid), we are not a group for you. Please be aware that Central Ohio Riders is a group for MOTORCYCLE riders that have at least 2,000 road miles and is NOT suitable for beginners.
Membership is capped at 200 riders. If you would like to join us, click the join button and your membership will stay in pending until an opening is available. Membership in this group will stay actively dynamic and will be culled. If a year goes by and you haven't participated in a Meetup, you will be removed to leave a space for another rider that wants to join and participate. We welcome you to re-join again when you want to participate, as long as there is an opening.
There are as many different styles of riding as there are bikes to ride, and so it's important to match your riding style with the right group. The Central Ohio Riders promotes safety above all else. We are not blowing through red lights, annoying other vehicles on the road, pulling wheelies or racing one another. However, this is NOT a group for beginners. On quiet county roads we sometimes let the horses run hard as we enjoy the curves and twisties. But, most importantly, we will be riding within our skill level to ensure our own safety and the safety of those around us. Some of our rides have a destination; some of our rides are the destination. We enjoy relaxed paced & spirited rides consisting of ½ day, full day, and weekend getaways. We're all serious riders here, many with several decades of experience. We are not bikers, we are RIDERS. Our goal is to ride, build friendships, and create great circle of riders that have fun!
We ask that you ride safe, respect your fellow riders and enjoy the company of others. We obey all traffic laws and never obstruct traffic by blocking intersections; this practice is against the law.
Alcohol use prior to or during ANY group ride is NOT PERMITTED. Any member found breaking this rule will be banned from Central Ohio Riders immediately.
You MUST have a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement (M). Members drivers licenses and proof of motorcycle insurance will be verified prior to their first ride with the group. While this may seen like an intrusion or a hassle, please understand that we are only doing this to be sure that everyone is safe. Would you want to ride 1 or 2 seconds in front of or behind someone who has not taken a basic test ? Or is not insured ? Once verified you will have an extra title added to your profile. This will ensure you are not asked again as well as letting other members know you have an endorsement and insurance.
When your Membership is approved, please read the COR Rules of the Road page so you know what is expected on our rides.
Please no scooters.

The Department of Energy has a program that is developing smaller-sized reactors capable of producing 300 megawatts, which are better suited for smaller communities or workplaces, according to Dan Ingersoll of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Small reactors could be built closer to their customers, reducing construction and transmission costs, or they could be operated as a group to serve more users.

Genetic evidence of Ranavirus in toe clips: an alternative to lethal sampling methods

Amphibian populations have been undergoing declines on a global scale. Among the many threats to these populations are emergent infectious diseases (EIDs). The Ranavirus in particular has been found within many declining amphibian populations. Although non-lethal sampling methods exist for some amphibian groups, such as salamanders, the anurans are traditionally tested using a lethal method. By comparing traditional liver samples and a new non-lethal method of toe clipping we prove that the Ranavirus can also be determined in frogs using a non-lethal method, a much needed tool in threatened populations. This method will allow for ranaviral detection without further impacting declining populations, and can further be used for other research questions.

What the heck is Phillips doing in the dugout. Cincy hair club for men? :O)
Chapman to the rotation!!!! Do it already!!!!
So Cueto is 3-0, and his temporary replacement is 3-0. Not too shabby.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
Cabrera and Renteria are so damn forgettable.
Also, if you don't remember it, I suggest going back and looking at Alex Gonzalez's 2007 stats. Imagine getting that kind of production out of the SS position today.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Reds not done tonight, runners now on second and third after that double by Choo.
Choo with a gapper. Hannahan to 3rd. Shin-Soo to 2nd. (feels weird to type "Shin-Soo" for his first name...not sure why)
Chapman to the rotation!!!! Do it already!!!!
Wow! Three-run blast from Cozart. Was not expecting that.

haven't watch game besides now but wind blowing out? looked like he just got it in air.
And now it sounds like something's medically wrong with the Cubs's pitcher. He's out of the game.

Fall vs. Spring JM Root Pruning Report
So last fall I repotted several large maples. Their roots were essentially braided into knots, they were so rootbound.
I had particularly good luck, which surprised me. I did accidently over-prune a lovely 3' Pink Lace, and I was correct that it wouldn't make it through the (mild) winter. I was sad. I also lost a lovely Hogyoku & Skeeter's Broom.
However, a 6' Karasugawa, a Green Lace, Oregon Sunset, Green Mist, Vitifolium, Red Crusader, Lozita, Wilson's Pink, Hupp's Dwarf, Kito No Ito, Nuresagi, Sanzanami, Red Pygmy, Beni schichihenge, Coral Bark (forget it's name) and several smaller maples did beautifully and are happy, some in the ground now, and some still in pots. A small, maybe 1' Krispa shot up at least another foot this spring.
As more heartily recommended, this spring I tried root pruning a very root bound Kashima, which was happy and looking healthy. It IMMEDIATELY died, although I wasn't aggressive. A Dissectum Nigra did just fine and is still putting out new leaves. For me, at 50/50, spring isn't the time. I'll be doing fall root pruning.
Over our very mild winter, an 8 year old Shania died back to the graft, but is putting out new growth above the graft. A Bloodgood is doing the same thing. Probalby heat stress, since they were in the ground for more than a few years, but we've had such a drought.
About 2 weeks ago, though, my happy, in-ground Karasugawa just died. Death ran up a central lead, all the leaves got soft, then death wandered up and down the external branches. I have no idea why. I was very sad. It was one of my very first trees.
I am also here to tell you that many JMs take far more sun than people want to think. Just like my Hellebores that have never had any shade. Can't keep them down!
I hesitate to plant again in the spot where my Karasugawa died, simply because I'm afraid something happened in the soil.
So here we go. I found using the soil recipes here, pine fines, pearlite, gypsum, etc., have given my trees a real boost in growth.
I discovered I was an idiot to plant hosta and/or Heuchera in the maples' pots with them, even though they were beautiful. Try getting those unknotted from JM roots. OMG.
I have also tested quite a few for full sun exposure, which after this summer will be put into the ground where I can keep them watered, but will have limited shade. Sherwood Flame, Aconitifolium (Oh, it's fall colors!), Japanese Spring, Berrima Bridge, Tana, Johin, Chitosaeyama and a few others
I have a lot of maples that have been in pots for several years, which are definitely overgrown. I'll attack those in the fall.
So there you have it!
I thought winter was the best time to do root pruning. While I haven't done that much, they grew well when growing season came... In my experiences, trees don't like it when you mess with their roots during growing season. I've had trees backfire on me after cutting roots off that escaped through the drainage holes into the ground if I let it happen too long.
New root growth occurs in spring when dormant stem buds open and send hormones to the root tips which prompt them to elongate. Roots pruned back in fall (or later) may be expected to more or less just sit there until spring, when they get the chemical signal from the buds. Existing, intact roots elongate in fall, after the winter buds are set. 60% of the annual increase in root length occurs at this time. This is one of the reasons fall is the best time to plant cold hardy stock. If you catch a particular specimen just before it produces the annual fall root push you can have it take hold of the ground on the new site quite nicely - as long as you did not have to correct any root deformities at planting.
