Help! Tropical Plants in Texas?
I'm new to Garden Web so here goes...
We are seriously considering relocating from Northwest Oregon to Texas, most likely around Corpus Christi or Victoria. I've been dreaming about growing tropicals/subtropicals in my own (future) backyard, but all of the info on coastal Texas paints a pretty bleak picture! I expected to find exotic plants galore, but most of the websites "highly" recommended things like oaks, maples, pines, and other "northern" trees. HOW BORING! The shrub and flower recommendations weren't much better. We can grow more than that here in the Willamette Valley! I also found that the majority of the palm species suggested for the gulf coast were ones that we grow here!
So, my question is this. Does gulf coast Texas get so cold that tropicals are just out of the question? Or are these sites just not a real representation of what gardeners actually grow?
I hope that my comments will help a little. First, yes you can grow a tropical garden, but it will take lots of work and maybe more water than you want to use.
Texas is a really big state. We go from zone 6 all the way to zone 10, so it depends on where you are living. Victoria is not on the coast, but about 40 minutes away from the water. They are only about 1 1/2 hour NE of Corpus Christi, but because they are not on the water, their temperatures get much colder in the winter. Corpus Christi is on the Corpus Christi Bay and sees less freezing weather. I live between the two on a salt water bay in zone 9a, but actually with the water, it should be a zone 9b. With the exception of the Rio Grande Valley which is zone 10, the rest of the coast is zone 9. However, there is a big difference in those zones. The upper coast gets a lot more cold than we do down here even though we are all zone 9.
OK, I don't know what you have been reading, but I can guarantee you that in south Texas, you will not find an reputable gardener recommend the planting of "northern" trees. Trees and plants that will grow up in the north, will not grow down here. It is just too hot and humid. If you haven't lived here, you have no idea what you are getting into regarding the combined high temperature and high humidity. Can you imagine stepping out your front door in the morning to find the temperature at 90 and the humidity at 100%? Well it happens more often than not. Living without A/C down here is darn near impossible if you want to sleep at night without sweating. And who needs a sauna in south Texas? Just step outside if you want to sweat.
Regarding planting tropicals, yes most of them will grow here. Maybe every 7 years or so, we might get a freeze which will kill the tropicals or at least burn them. Generally they will come back. However, I will tell you that "gardeners" down here prefer the "native plants and trees" for many reasons. One is that they cooperate with wildlife, and two they tend to use less water, and three they are better resistant to insects and diseases.
Some suggested palm trees for here on the Texas Coastal Bend are the two Texas native palms, i.e. Sabal texana or S. mexicana and Sabal minor. Some other palms are the Queen Palm Trees Syagrus romanzoffiana and Pindo Palms Butia capitata. The Mexican Fan Palm Washingtonia robusta is not recommended although it grows much faster and taller and is very invasive.
I recommend that you go to several websites for more information: TAMU, Texas Native Plant Society, and Texas Master Gardeners.
Also remember that there are some areas where you cannot just go in and cut down trees without permission from the city, and if you do so without permission a fine can be imposed.
So can you grow tropicals? Yes, you can. Just know what you are planting, know the growing conditions and make sure that they are not invasive plants.
And the weather? Can you handle it? I happen to love it very much even though by August, I'm ready for some relief from the heat, but that won't come for a month or so. More often than not, on Thanksgiving we eat outside, and many times we eat outside on Christmas. Generally January, February and into mid-March are very cold, windy and rainy months where you won't want to go outside.
I hope this helps you a little. Texas is a great place to live, and I love it, and wouldn't live anywhere else.
Thanks for the help. It seems so strange to me that it could possibly get that cold there, with Texas being so close to the tropic of cancer. I'm assuming that your cold weather comes off the Great Plains?
Yes, we are prepared to deal with the heat. That is one of the reasons we chose Texas. We are originally from San Jose, California, but have spent a little time in Mississippi and Nicaragua, and so are familiar with a "sauna climate". Around here we have wet, cold weather most of the year. November through March it rains almost constantly with 33-36 degree rain. Not cold enough to snow, but cold enough to be miserable. We don't start having reliably "warm" days (over 78 degrees) until mid-May. Having Thanksgiving dinner outside sound great. Can't wait to get there.
I don't live in Corpus but my brother does and we've shared dozens of "tropicals". I've grubbed him for plumeria cuttings and I've given him dozens of different gingers and bananas which have done well. The main problem he's encountered, at least the part of Corpus he lives in is that the soil is alkaline. Most tropicals want acidic soil and he's had to amend the soil. Both the orange and white bird of paradise do great there as do all Hawaiian Ti plants. He has grown and bloomed Heliconia Rostrata (Hanging Lobster Claw) in the ground in a protected location. I gave him his first plant. He grows other smaller heliconia in containers and moves them around for protection during the winter. In fact, you can grow a lot of container tropicals if you don't mind moving them around during the winter. Many winters, he never has to dig up his plumeria; he just throws a blanket over them. The downside to that region of Texas is that, while most would think it is semi tropical, it is really more arid. Rain is usually scarce during the summer; except this summer. So watering is sometimes a problem in CC; especially if Lake CC is low, so you might have water rationing for your lawn. It's a great place though and you'll enjoy it a lot.
I'm in Galveston. I don't grow anything BUT tropical and subtropical stuff. I can't imagine anyone telling you to plant those "northern" trees. They'll just curl up & die. We don't even have any big trees on the coast, too many storms knocking them down.
One thing about our heat, it lasts for MONTHS. While other people claim they have heat, they don't have heat like we do. It is not unusual for the heat index to be above 100 at 2 am, and along the coast we cool off even less than places like Houston. So if it's 99 at noon with a heat index of 114, it will probably cool off to 90 or 95 with a heat index of 100 in the middle of the night. AND then you have 90++% humidity almost year around. Don't buy leather.
Go to the Texas forum to see what we all grow.
Tally HO!
Me: bananas, plumeria, palms, cupheas, amorphophallus, crinum, hibiscus, fig tree, pecan tree, peach tree, persimmon tree, avocado tree, gingers, tacca, allamanda, brugmansia, canna, pineapple lilies, bromeliads, orchids, agaves, aloes, cacti, crown of thorns, pregnant onion, "lucky bean" tree, jatrophas, clerodendrums, camelia, gardenia, crape myrtle, firespike, piper, easter lilies, scheffelera, ti plants, draceneas, evergreen wisteria, althea, coral vine, passionflowers, dutchman pipe vines, pride of barbados, chinese silk plant, ipomeas, citrus, LA iris, dietes, etc. etc. etc. All outside, no winter protection as a rule.
Tally, what is the secret to growing a gardenia at the coast, I have planted more than 5 beautiful plants, and all have died. Last time, I bought a 5 gallon healthy plant, dug a hugh hole and replaced all the soil with 3 hugh bags of miracle grow potting soil, even bought a bag of ironite. I planted it in the morning sun, and it still died. I have given up. I have planted in the shade, sun, and morning sun, it doesn't seen to like my yard. Do you have any suggestions, my husband really wants one. Barbra,
It could be a matter of drainage, Barbra. If you dug a hole in our soil, (clay) you would just be making a bowl to drown the gardenia in.
We grow all kinds of stuff down here in South Texas. Victoria is the closest "Big" town to us, and we are ALL ALWAYS looking for something different, something exotic. AND.....we usually find it.
This was my garden in August. There is a pond behind the foliage.
There is a lot more, I am a collector. I don't think there is a cure for that, but there always seems to be something different for us to grow, to try, to look at that makes us happy.
I grow what Tally grows for the most part. They are fairly typical for real gardeners here. (Garden nuts, really, but don't tell Tally I said that. LOL)
We planted most of this a year or so ago. Not very old.
Mostly it is so happy that we had so much rain this year. It really went crazy!
I like the tropical look. It keeps me from having to cut the grass.
LOL, my DH has a 26hp, 42" cut riding mower, and I have ripped almost all the grass from our yard. He has forbidden me to expand anymore.
Grass is a 'guy' thing, I think.
Janie, you missed a great plant sale. I got a pink banana, cuban pea vine, 7 ft. orchid tree, 10ft jacaranda tree, another plant( I cannot remember the name), maybe Ruth can help, she got one too. Also herbs, and alot of good advise. The hidden garden tour was great, I never knew gardens like that existed in Rockport, these folks are serious gardeners. Barbra
Hi Barbra - Thank so much for helping me nab the plants I wanted - and some I didn't know I wanted until you told me I did. LOL. The plant we both got is a Jatropha - that's one you told me I needed and I really do like it. Thanks too for helping us plant some. I got home about 2 hours ago - stayed another day to get more done although my SIL and Dan (the guy that helped us that you met) planted EVERYTHING yesterday. We also went to Lowe's and bought more. Yes, more. 6 or 7 plumbagos to go along the fence, another Chinese Fan palm, and a Hibiscus, oh yes and another orchid I saw I couldn't (didn't try too hard) to resist. We worked until we literally dropped. Don't forget too that fun garage sale across the street from the garden sale. I bought 2 books, a silver colored crab tray and a neat nest of baskets. Fun day! Thanks again for helping and I really enjoyed meeting Jim and seeing Linda again. Oh, and the large cluster of Pygmy palms look great. It rained a little before I left this morning and everything looks happy and not in too much shock. Will go back in a couple of weeks and check on everything. Let me know when you're going again too. Ruth
Ruth, I am so glad to hear from you. I was so worried. I knew what you had in store. I was more than happy to help you get started. I bet everything looks great. I did not know about clay soil and posted, and we did everything right as far as I can tell. I am sorry I was so bossy( she said I sounded like at teacher), but I had to get back and plant my plants, I did not leave until 10:30 Sunday, this is the latest I have ever left. I planted my jacaranda tree, and tulip tree on Sunday before came home. I took the cuban pea vine home, I was just too tired. I bet you are sore today, but I bet your place looks great. I will be going down the last weekend in October, hope to see you then. Barbra,
Looks as if this thread was hijacked! Now, back to Oregontejano's question: no one has mentioned the humidity which is a shock to newcomers---50 per cent is a fairly low-normal, or the black gumbo clay you will find in Corpus (where I lived for 6 years). Also,the landscape is very flat, but the gulf is a plus, and fishing. I grew all kinds of citrus, hibiscus & gingers, but had to really amend the soil. Also the wind blows (thank goodness it does)stronger than you would be used to. And not very often, but still you should remember that we have hurricanes on the Gulf Coast. Some trees that I had were Australian pine, retama, cottonwood & crape myrtle. It will be an enormous change for you. Maybe you should take a vacation here, first? Good luck.
I'm not wanting to start an argument, but I wonder if you read the entire thread. You state . . .Looks as if this thread was hijacked! Now, back to Oregontejano's question: no one has mentioned the humidity. . . .
I guess you didn't read my first post where I went into detail about living conditions on the Texas Coastal Bend. In my post one of the first things I mentioned was: If you haven't lived here, you have no idea what you are getting into regarding the combined high temperature and high humidity. Can you imagine stepping out your front door in the morning to find the temperature at 90° and the humidity at 100%?
I have lived on the Gulf Coast for 40+ years, and am a Master Gardener, co-founder of the Rockport Herb & Rose Study Group and on the board of the South Texas Botanical Gardens. So I really am interested in giving people, wanting to move here to garden, information about gardening along with websites to check out. Since I teach growing herbs to both newbies to the coast and the ones that live here year round, I always mention the combined high heat-high humidity factor. That is one reason lots of herbs can't grow here on the coast. Regarding plants that grow well here, I provided the TAMU websites which gives lots of great information on gardening.
And your suggestion It will be an enormous change for you. Maybe you should take a vacation here, first? Good luck., well, . . . in the third post oregontejano responded We are originally from San Jose, California, but have spent a little time in Mississippi and Nicaragua, and so are familiar with a "sauna climate".
Linda - I'm glad you clarified some points for Oregontejano to consider as she and her family move to the great state of Texas. Anyone moving from climate extremes accross the country is bound to have adjustments to make, but I so want her and her family to anticipate the fun they will have in establishing a tropical garden on the Texas coast.
I live in San Antonio and have a beach house in Rockport and am having the time of my life planting palms and plants (that I have to protect in S.A. in the winter) in Rockport, or actually I'm on Salt Lake too. So far, so good although a few plumbagos look a little sad - not sure if it's the wind off the water or if they have been watered too much.
Anyway, welcome Oregontejano! Maybe we'll cross paths someday.
There is al ot of things we can grow here that people don't know about.
Here is a list of things I am growing in Katy:
In the ground:
White Sapote
Sugar Apple
A lot of citrus
Dragon Fruit
In Containers:
Miracle Fruit
Strawberry tree or panama berry
Sugar Apple
Ed Self
Katy, Texas
This is focused more on palms but there are some noted large tropical trees in some of the pictures.
Also, primarily focused on the upper tx coast (galveston)
I moved to Houston from the Boston area.
Yes, you can grow tropicals here I grow many. It is much drier than you think down here. Which is probably your biggest limit on what you can grow.
I have a blog with photos and notes and a photo album - link on blog that you might find interesting. It may give you some ideas. The photo section also has sections from botanical gardens and travels around the state.
Dani and Pat, your gardens are gorgeous!
I have to giggle about the humidity comments, here in Bozeman when I tell people I am moving back to Texas they all moan about the humidity in the South (even if they've never been!). But really, I think about my brittle skin and chapped lips and just crave the sauna that is Houston!
It is a shock though! Like living in a greenhouse.
Welcome oregontejano,
I have lived in Texas most of my life and I LOVE the coast here. You can grow many tropicals on the Lower Coast (from Corpus Christi southward), even coconut palms from North Padre Island southward, and they are becoming quite popular in the Brownsville/South Padre area. I would suggest that you move to the Corpus area or southward, because this area is Zone 9B/10A, and there are so many neat things you can grow in this region, and the fishing and snorkeling/scuba diving is pretty good too, especially in the summer and early fall. Last July, while snorkeling at the jetty at South Padre Island, I saw 10 sea turtles in an hour and a half!
Anyway, for palms (my specialty), you can grow queen palms, Medjool date palms, Canary Island date palms, pygmy date palms, Senegal date palms, pindo palms, Mexican fan palms, California fan palms, Texas palm (native to the Rio Grande Valley), the dwarf palm (native to East Texas and the Upper Coast), Mediterranean fan palm, Chinese fan palm, lady palm, various Chamaderea palms, and I am sure several others that I forgot to mention. You can also grow my two favorites from North Padre Island southward to the Rio Grande Valley, and those are the coconut palm, especially the Mexican Tall (the coconuts of which wash up on our beaches from spring to the fall, and yes they will sprout), and the royal palm, though the royal does better with some protection from salt spray. The coconut however, loves salt spray.
As far as flowers, try: hibiscus, bougainvillea, mandevilla, oleander, ixora, bird of paradise, etc.
The croton does well here too, especially with some protection from winter winds.
For flowering trees, the ordchid tree does well here.
If you move to the Rio Grande Valley, you can grow large beautiful royal poiciana trees, and they produce a lot of beautiful red blooms in the summer, and even seed there.
For fruits, you can grow: sea grapes (close to the coast), mangoes, avocadoes, papayas, pineapples, guavas, pineapple guavas, coconuts (the coconut palm will produce coconuts in the Brownsville/South Padre Island area), lemons, limes, oranges, tangelos, grapefruit, etc.
Welcome to our own little tropical paradise. Just be advised that every 10-15 years the area gets hit with a really hard freeze, but some tropicals will recover afterwards, and the others grow so fast, that all you have to do is replant the following spring! And remember to be willing to provide extra water, since as it was stated above the area is semi-arid. But other than the occasional hurricane (the Lower Texas Coast has the least incidents of hurricanes of any part of the Gulf Coast!), it is a really great place to live and much more reasonable cost of living wise than many coastal areas of the U.S.
If you have any questions, just email me at: email@example.com
We've been living down here for years. Kingsville, about 50 miles southwest of c.c. The last freeze we had was in 1983. Don't let the tv stations lie to you. However, we do get down to 28 to 29 degrees, which means the soil temp gets cold but not freezing. It only stays there 1 to 2 hrs at most. Now for the real information, it is not the temperature that gets the plants, it is the shock of the cold wind and dryness. Many times I have seen tender plants that have been wisely planted up against a protective wall have no problems. Yet, another hardier plant die the death, when a cold wind blows through.
When you see a picture depicting the surrounding, very carefully examined it, you will see what I mean.

text: First you'd have to define what you mean by "creative", which is not a synonym for "complicated" Fundamentally we're discussing a matter of taste here. You don't have to like it, or not like it. It's just aesthetic taste. Microsoft's branding team are, I suppose, banking on more people liking than not liking it, and since I don't imagine they work for cheap, I wouldn't necessarily bet on them being wrong.And whether or not you could have "done it in Paint" is irrelevant to whether it looks good for the purpose it's used for. You can do a Mondrian in Paint too I bet most corporate logo reworking over the past few decades has gone i n the direction of "simpler". But I'm too lazy to check that hypothesis.Incidentally, I just thought a little more about 'why' I like it. In comparing to the previous version, it's the improved logotype font that primarily attracts me. The symbol is an improvement, too, since it doesn't have that cheesy 3D look, but fundamentally, it's the typeface that does it.Opinions:»mashable.com/2012/08/23/microsof ··· mentary/»blogs.computerworld.com/windows/ ··· s-itbwcw

Untangling the Web, a search guide published for the National Security Agency.
The National Security Agency just released "Untangling the Web," an unclassified how-to guide to Internet search. It's a sprawling document, clocking in at over 650 pages, and is the product of many years of research and updating by a NSA information specialist whose name is redacted on the official release, but who is identified as Robyn Winder of the Center for Digital Content on the Freedom of Information Act request that led to its release.
It' is a droll document on many levels. First and foremost, it's funny to think of officials who control some of the most sophisticated supercomputers and satellites ever invented turning to a .pdf file for tricks on how to track down domain name system information on an enemy website. But "Untangling the Web" isn't for code-breakers or wire-tappers. The target audience seems to be staffers looking for basic factual information, like the preferred spelling of Kazakhstan, or telephonic prefix information for East Timor.
Untangling the Web
Still, the author seems unable to resist frequent allusions to the cloak-and-dagger work of the NSA in the screen grabs she uses as illustrations. A demo of how to uses Windows Live Search features a request for information on Uranium-235. A how-to on the use of video aggregator Blinkx is keyed to a search for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The domain-lookup function of the WHOIS database is explained with a look at the DNS information of security firm Kaspersky Labs. Instructions on a complicated Google feature that allows users to view pages returned in searches stripped of any images is based on a search for DPRK.
Perhaps by using this technique, an NSA searcher could get info from the North Korean government website without tell-tale pings to the host network. But it seems unlikely that the puzzle-masters and cryptographers at NSA would find themselves in that sort of predicament.
It was last updated in February 2007, and the six year lag gives "Untangling the Web" the feel of an unearthed time capsule. In 2007, before the financial crisis, there was a mini-boom in specialized search, and this is reflected in the many now-defunct search services that are listed in the guide. The author, clearly a seasoned web searcher, has strong opinions about the utility and futility of certain techniques, and goes out of her way to tsk-tsk the "mess" that was Yahoo's front page at the time.
The document contains some very useful information on searching the semantic or deep web – the disjointed mass of information and documents buried in databases that typically don't show up in Internet searches, and these are worth a read for people interested in snooping for spreadsheets, slide decks, and documents that businesses, governments, and large institutions may have made available online inadvertently.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
What's the difference between whole wheat and white bread? This new video from the Lexicon of Sustainability's Douglas Gayeton explores the differences between breads, their nutrients and varying origins.
The Marina gets a taste of France with the opening of the new Le Marais Bakery. See what Stephanie Rosenbaum thinks about their croissants, and find out the sweet plans that owner Patrick Ascaso, baker Justin Brown, and pastry chef Phil Ogiela have in store.
It's been well over two years now since the hungry writers at Bay Area Bites mentioned Big Sur Bakery. I figured it was time. Now, I can't quite pin down the exact moment I became obsessed with Big Sur Bakery. It was well before the recent Bon Appetit mention and even before the stunning My Nepenthe cookbook came out. I feel like it's always been this legend-like place that I've been trying to get past relationships, friends, and family to tag along and try. But most folks always have the same reaction:
You want to drive 5 hours round-trip to go to a bakery? In one day?
After months and months of driving slowly down 4th Street to access the evolving storefront, Arizmendi San Rafael is finally open and already drawing in crowds and attracting a new set of faithful customers. I explored the new location one morning to see what they were doing differently in San Rafael. You'll see many favorites, from the Cherry Corn Scone to the Wolverine Rolls–and, of course, that pizza. San Francisco and East Bay Arizmendi fans would approve. This is the real deal.
Hide out from the rain at Cibo in Sausalito, one of few spots to serve Blue Bottle Coffee in Marin. Cibo's pastry chef, Tara Ancona, delights with homemade pop-tarts, donut muffins, sticky buns, and perfect french macarons.
With summer fast waning and the autumn fruits making their way to market, it's time to turn to one of my favorite holidays. The Mid-Autumn Festival or, as many of us call it, the Harvest Moon Festival, celebrates the brightest and fullest moon of the year. It was once a time for families to relax and enjoy finally the fruits of their summer labor. Nowadays, in that peculiar way modernization and urbanization has of thinning out traditions, people might simply exchange moon cakes or go out to eat at their favorite Chinese restaurant. A few purists will try to hike up a hill for a midnight picnic with hot tea. Or, if you're Andrea Nguyen, you spend days making your own moon cakes from scratch.
I stupidly made our reservation for 7:15pm, not even considering the fact that we might have wanted to see the magnificent Big Sur sunset from our perch at Nepenthe. (Sunset is currently at 7:27pm). I know, I know, kind of a cliché Big Sur "thing to do" but it was my husband's very first trip […]

My second pair of ride rites. First pair was installed on a 99 F250 and went on easy. The 2015 F250 has several lines (tank vent and others) that are attached on the inside of the frame channel on the drivers side. These must be released from their attaching points and re routed and protected from rubbing on the top ride rite mount...that took the longest to do to ensure no damage to the lines was done during install and after from chaffing and rubbing on top mount.

Recent Sweetwater Club Reviews
excellently kept place
Stayed for 10 days to house hunt in the Orlando area. Place was clean, roomy and all the stuff worked well. Easy in and out and working with Ken was a pleasure. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a well kept, safe and well located place for a reasonable price.
Great Place to Stay
As a family we have stayed at Sweetwater for many years and have stayed in many different condo's, but this one is something very different, spotlessly clean high quality furniture everything you need for a great vacation, we cannot recommend to highly and the owners are a joy to deal with.
This Condo is much better than the pictures indicate! Much larger, roomier than I expected! A great place for a family! I would definitely recommend (and already have) this to ANYONE staying in the area! A real home away from home!

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
UWM's vice chancellor for student affairs let go
Helen Mamarchev has been let go as vice chancellor of student affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for undisclosed reasons, a university official said.
Mamarchev left her position at the university on Thursday after Chancellor Carlos Santiago decided it was in the best interest of the university not to renew her contract, UWM spokesman Tom Luljak said.
The news was first reported by the Panther Talk blog.
Luljak would not comment further on the reason for Mamarchev's departure, saying it is against the university's policy to comment on personnel matters.
Mamarchev could not be reached for comment Monday.
UWM Dean of Students Jim Hill stepped in Friday as interim vice chancellor, Luljak said. No decision has been made on a timetable for finding a permanent replacement for Mamarchev.
Mamarchev came to UWM in March 2007 from Illinois State University, where she served as vice president of student affairs for six and a half years. Before that, she was associate vice president for student affairs at the University of Florida for 17 years, according to news reports.
At UWM, Mamarchev earned a salary of $146,449, Luljak said.

- Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden
- Context
Since its founding, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden has enjoyed the status of one of the most unusual cultural and scientific establishments in the world. Erected by Wilhelm Kreis in 1930 on the occasionof the IInd International Hygiene Exhibition, the building is a cultural monument and contemporary witnessto the outgoing First German Republic and age of modernity. Its peculiarity lies primarily in its cubature andthe symmetrical layout of its rooms.
Guidance system
Signposts and location confirmations comprise the alignment of the information in German, English and French. Without the use of backing material, the inscriptions are applied directly to the walls following the course of the rooms themselves. The lightness and red colour are a reaction to the architectural severity.

Specially developed pictograms reinforce this form of intervention, serving to highlight the conceptualisationof the institution as a "museum of the people".

Sunday night disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy appeared on a podcast hosted by Celtics bloggers Nick Gelso and Brandon Paul on BlogTalkRadio.com.
During his two-hour guest appearance, Donaghy was asked the following:
One of the referees I've been annoyed with over the years is Bill Kennedy, every time he has a Celtics game I almost know that we're not getting calls. Is his relationships with Doc Rivers or the Celtics organization as a whole something you know about.
Donaghy's response to the question was unexpected, to say the least.
That's a difficult question for me to answer because I certainly don't want to offend anybody. I'm just gonna come out and say it like it is. It's no secret on the staff that Bill Kennedy is a homosexual.
I don't have any ill will towards gays or lesbians, but it was no secret that he's a homosexual.
It was known around the league, it was obvious during a game Doc Rivers questioned his sexual orientation and I think that has stuck with Kennedy over the years and he has no love for Doc Rivers and the Boston Celtics.
You can listen to Donaghy's comment by scrolling to the 67:00 mark of the interview:
"The technical on which I got thrown out was the most unprofessional technical by a ref I've ever had. He stood there and goaded me and goaded me and stared at me."
Look at the film. I actually walked away. He asked me, 'Where do you want the ball?' And I said, 'Ask them,' talking about my players. That's my right to say that, and he walked away.
"He stood there and stared me down and stared me down and goaded me until I turned around and said, 'What?' That's when I got thrown out of the game. In a [5-point] game? Think about that."
In an extraordinary move, the NBA also announced at the time that the league had fined Kennedy for his role in the situation that led to the coach's postgame outburst.
(Kennedy-Celtics conflict not lost on C's supporter Simmons)
After Kennedy's fine was announced, Rivers said, "In some ways I know I was right, because of the [Kennedy] fine. I wish it didn't happen."
Does Donaghy lack credibility? Yes.
Did Donaghy cross the line of decency with his comment about Kennedy? Yes.
In the history of pro sports, is there a reasonable chance that this sort of conflict has played out before between player and/or coach and official?
In my opinion, yes.
As Donaghy is a former NBA official and his claim, however spurious it may seem, could've had a material impact on past and possibly future NBA games, his comment is newsworthy.

Almost Complete Set List for Guitar Hero II 52

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
the cover band has some seriously good players in it though. Drist's guitarist, Marcus Henderson, provided lead guitar on 20 of the game's 30 cover tracks.
But from what I've played of the first GH game, the vocalist on "Take Me Out" [wikipedia.org] sounded very little like Alexander Kapranos, the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand [wikipedia.org].
there's no instant gratification without years of practice
Not true at all. I'm a guitarist (on both cllasical and electric guitar) and I'd bet that, if all the folks who were in the same music school where I was would spend as much time playing guitar as they did playing games, they'd be playing quite well after two months AT MOST. There are many simple songs, and improvements usually come from one day to another, with periods of
Bullshit. Nobody is going to be nailing Dimebag Darrell or Randy Rhoads or Stevie Ray Vaughn solos after 2 months of guitar practice. And anyway, you're talking about music school kids, but guess what, Guitar Hero is for everybody!

I do hope that they will at least include a grading system into the game. I still prefer Konami's Guitar Freaks over Guitar Hero, mainly just because it has a grading system that makes it a bit more rewarding than just having a hit or miss timing to the notes.
Yeah, a percentage on hit notes, but there isn't a timing to the hits you receive - say, rather than getting a hit or miss on a note, your hit is graded according to how accurately you hit it. Just like in DDR you have Perfects and Greats.
I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly, I just know my ear wasn't doing it for the guitar.
But Guitar Hero is a game. It's not a guitar but it certainly makes me want to pick one u
Still, I'm pissed at the distinct lack of any Dream Theater. Some of Petrucci's riffs would be fucking awesome for extremely advanced modes.
It's hard to think of you as the end result of millions of years of evolution.
