Where to get understock JM for grafting
I have a couple of beautiful JM in my garden and want to try grafting. Where can I get the understock JM for grafting? Thanks
Summer grafting is 100 times easier and you'll also be able to purchase seedlings at a reasonable price early spring. Right now, you'll get hit hard looking for potted seedlings. Unfortunatley this time of year if the root system is not established in a pot, you cannot graft to the seedling.
Spring delivery (I buy from Heritage Seedlings which is by far the best quality on the net) requires a purchase of 100 seedlings (about 100 bucks). Buy small plugs (1/8" calliper) and they go into pots (April/May delivery). Mid July through Mid August is prime time to graft.
Clip off the leaves on the scion/cutting but leave a 1/2" petiole where each leaf was. Remove the bottom leaves on your seedling rootstock so you have room to do the work. Use a rubber band or bud strip to secure the scion to the seedling understock and place a white plastic trash bag over the scion and understock tying it at the top and toss in the bag a wadded up damp paper towel. Then, place the plants/bags under a large shade tree (filtered light is best). The grafts knit in about 10-20 days. A successful graft will show new buds that pushed from under the petioles which you saved on the scion. If all is successful, you will have a plant that looks like this:
The petioles will turn black and fall off to expose the new bud that pushes below. This is a good thing. Ginkgo may be grafted the same way during the same time frame.
Here's a Ginkgo summer graft:
Your seedling understock -- I chop them to about a foot tall and you don't need many leaves on it. In fact no leaves are fine.
If you're desperate for seedlings and cannot wait, you'll pay a premium price for seedlings right now. Sooner Plant Farms is the only place I happen to know about. And winter grafting is not at all like summer grafting. Wax is needed among other various conditions being present within a greenhouse.
Best of luck/skill!
Thank you very much for such a detailed answer!!!! Looks like you are a professional!
What should I use as seedling understock - Acer palmatum or some other species? And one more unrelated question. I know that JM grown from a seed very often will not be identical to it's parent, so why growing JM from seed is so popular and who and why buy such a trees?
Thank you so much in advance.
The anwser to your seed question is three part ... #1 unknowing buyers and direputable sellers ( selling named cultivar seeds which is BUNK) amd #2 some folks just like to grow seeds and don't mind waiting for 3-4 years to see what it will actually look like and don't care that 99% of what survives will be unremarksable in every way...and #3 some grow them for root stock only. David
Seedling of cultivars (from a garden full of cultivars) brings plants just as good as cultivars. I have tons of seedlings from a mother plant 'Seiryu' that have sharply dissected purple foliage. It's just goes on and on. I don't buy them though... don't have the stock trees either. They're from a friend. You'd be silly to assume that cultivars are the only way to do business. JUST As with dwarf conifers. Seed derived from these by a guy named Sidney Waxman introduced some of the best dwarf conifers on the market today.
I can wait 5 years.
Schmoo, the wax is necessary for winter for all deciduous. Never heard differently. Plain old paraphin in a box or a can at your local hardware store for 4 bucks is all you need. It's best that a person uses an alternative heat source than their kitchen though (such as a portable camping stove). Cut one bar in half and add it to large pot of water and bring it up to 180F and then let it cool to 160F and give the scion only a quick dip but you have to work fast or the wax will cool. To reuse the wax the next day, punch a hole in the wax that hardened at the top of the water, remove old water and add new, start fresh...
Grafting requires high humidity that's why conifers are tented, i.e., and that's why deciduous trees/shrubs are hit with the wax. The scion must not dry up and in 6 to 8 weeks and the deciduous grafts are simply left in the greenhouse but not tented. A simple recipe really.
Dax I don't disagree with anything you said...I just feel advertising "cultivar" seeds to unknowing buyers ( and you and I both know most folks really don't know) at 10 seeds for $4.95...that have ,as you know, NOT anyway near 100% , often less than 50% germination rate no matter how expert the grower is ...is not only direputable but in my mind fraud. I see it no differnt than selling a seed grown Seiryu as a true Seiryu with NO qualification for 50$ or more. For folks like us we can ignore it, grause ( like me) laugh or whatever.... but in reality it is not right in any way ... Of course there is nothing wrong with seed grown "geeneric cultivars" just like there is nothing wrong with a fake Rolex it may be a perfect time piece that last foerever but to sell it as the real thing is fraudulent ...IMHO David
People probably don't know what they're selling. A true plantsman would advertise that "these seeds will not produce a parent plant." Then again, the public in general has a hang-up with growing trees from seeds. Unfortunately if they only knew it isn't any more difficult than a petunia! But I wholehartedly agree with everything you say David except for one word: "Generic" --- the eye of the beholder here says much differently! :)
I know, I know.... not what you meant exactly!
Take care, have a good one.
Later on,
Have you ever played with the stuff "parafilm"(believe thats the name) on maples & other deciduous grafts? Sort of like a waxy-saran wrap. Have seen it used on maples at union (instead of a grafting strip) and even a bit more applied to sort of "tent" the graft (really only works best on smaller scions).
In propagation, every nursery is fairly unique...what works for you may not work for someone else generally speaking. While waxing is a tried and true method, there are way to many people...at least in Orygun...that found it is not the only way and stopped waxing years ago. Some have played and found there is more than one way to skin an avocado (sorry...I have cats).....

I live in the red hills of east central Mississippi with my beautiful wife and one very old dog and we all spend a lot of time in the Smoky Mountains where we have vacation cabins for rent. We would love to have you visit the mountains and promise to make your trip fun and easy.
Waterfalls, whitewater rafting, hiking or just relaxing in a rocker on the covered porch...however you choose to spend your days you'll love The Cabins at Long Branch. This is the real Smoky Mountains not something built for the tourists. Mountain biking, ziplines and good restaurants are only minutes away, but we prefer hiking the many trails and fishing a rushing mountain stream. Our cabins are secluded on 40 acres of mountain wilderness, so you have plenty of privacy...however they are also close to lots of fun things to do. Many of our visitors return again and again.
I'd love to hear from you.

Historical Traveler Reviews Renaissance Chicago O'Hare Suites Hotel
This Renaissance is the One!!
I recently ended up stranded in Chicago because of bad weather and after a long day of travelling, I was not pleased until I ended up at the Renaissance O'Hare! What a beautiful hotel this is, I was really impressed considering I chose this hotel at random, I wasn't looking for anything fancy. The front desk clerk upgraded me to a corner deluxe room and it was HUGE! The bed was the most comfortable I've slept in a while and I had a great dinner at the restaurant. Thanks to the bartender for the laughs, especially after the long day I've had and if you've ever been to O'Hare Airport, you'd know what I mean!
I do agree with the other reviews about the hotel shuttle though, but I can't blame the hotel for that, the traffic is always slow in Chi-town!! Enjoy.....
Excellent staff, clean large rooms
I stayed here three nights on business and I was very impressed with the hotel and especially the staff. The hotel really goes out of the way to accomadate you and make you feel welcome.
We held a meeting in the hotel, I can't say enough about the facilities or the staff, who were always available if any issues arised. We had to reschedule a business dinner at the last moment, and one of the staff members made reservations and arranged transport to a nearby restaurant at the last minute. The restaurant turned out to be a perfect pick for a nice business dinner, too, with great food. The hotel really deserves credit for making out meeting so succesful.
The rooms are large and well equipped, with very reasonable rates for high speed internet usage, especially for a business hotel. I'm so sick of hotels that try and gauge business travellers. Very nice bar, again with reasonable prices. The breakfast buffet was great. Had lunch in the rest. also, but was not impressed by that.
One bad thing--the shuttle is indeed terrible. I waited 45 minutes at Ohare after a long flight. :-(
Easy access to the el-train, though a 40 minute or so ride to Michigan Ave.
Highly recommended.
Great stay at the Renaissance O'Hare
My family (me, my wife, and nine-year old son), stayed here for seven nights. Overall, this was a great hotel.
1. The price was fantastic for the Chicago area in the summertime - $109 per night, which included a great breakfast buffet for all three of us, plus $15 per night for parking in the garage connected to the hotel.
2. The location was equally fantastic - virtually next to Cumberland L station, and just off I-90.
3. The room was huge - a full suite, with two very comfortable double beds in the bedroom; sofa, easy chair, and work desk with chair in the living room, and a very nice bathroom. Closets in both rooms.
4. 27 inch TVs in both rooms.
5. Very nice decor in the room as well as the entire hotel.
6. Excellent service from the front desk personnel as well as the housekeeping staff.
7. Breakfast buffet was great - cooked to order omelettes, pancakes, waffles, as well as fresh fruits and pastries, bacon, sausage, hot oatmeal, cereals, etc. Make sure the rate you are quoted includes the breakfast buffet - if not, the buffet is $15 per person.
Great Airport Hotel / Bad Shuttle
This is a great airport hotel. The rooms are very nice and big. The bed and bathroom are clean, modern and comfortable. The concierge lounge is excellent. The shuttle however with pickups from O'Hare can be 30 minutes during the afternoon and evening with traffic.
Quiet and clean!
What a wonderful hotel. Hidden from a busy area, this hotel was clean and quiet considering its' proximity to the airport. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were large. There is also a nice fitness room and pool. We will be back!!
Good business hotel.
Stayed there early june for a conference. The hotel was new and the rooms are actually suites! Large and very comfortable room, but needs an in room refrigerator. The hotel is really stuck out in nowhere with not much else to do but work and exercise(equipment and pool are great). The hotel only has one restaurant or you can order room service.
Fortunately the hotel is close to the rail line and fare to downtown chicago is $1.75(one way) and it takes about 45 minutes one way.
The staff was great and the hotel food is okay, but there are no good restaurants nearby, although there is a Dominick's super market about a 10 minute walk away.
The hotel is great for a short business stay if the meeting is there or nearby.
For a vacation, I'd probably stay in the city.
I'd give the hotel a 3-31/2 star.
Wonderful Stay at the Renaissance!
We stayed at this hotel during Memorial Weekend. Here is our review:
Location: The hotel was in a great location as it is located conveniently off of Interstate 90. It is also within walking distance to the train which you can take to downtown for $1.75 each way. The hotel is located within a business district. However, you can see the hotel, but the actual road to get to it can be a little tricky to find.
Rooms: The rooms were nicely decorated. The rooms still had signs of newness as the hotel opened in Feb. 05. The living room featured 2 chairs and a love seat. There was a minibar which featured a coffee pot and a safe. There was also a work desk with a web-tv key board. The bedroom featured a very comfortable bed that had 7 down pillows and a down comforter. The sheets were new and very soft. There is also a closet in the room which houses an ironing board and a nice iron. The bathroom was the best part of the entire room. It featured an oversized glass shower which could hold at least 4 people. It also had a massaging showerhead. The countertop was black marble with a chrome faucet and matching accessories. Another plus was the Bath and Body Works products that were provided for guest use. There were ample towels provided. The room was very clean.
The hotel: The parking was free during our stay as the hotel has not yet implemented a parking fee. A parking garage is conveniently adjacent to the hotel. The lobby was nicely decorated. There was a nice fish bowl display. The elevators were plentiful and fast. The hallways were nice and very wide. A sign in the lobby indicated that Starbucks will be coming on site in the Fall of 2005.
The staff: The staff was very friendly and accomodating.
This is a wonderful place to stay.
Great Airport Hotel
The Renaissance Chicago O'Hare Hotel is presumably the nicest property in the vicinty of the Chicago O'Hare Airport. With shuttle service to/from the hotel every 15 minutes, guests aren't burdened with having to wait in line for a taxi. The guestroom are very spacious with wonderful beds including pillowtop and down comforters. The bathroom is very large with a beautiful glass shower. Families who are stuck due to a cancalled flight will find plenty to do including spending time at the large indoor pool facility.
OK for business - not ready for a banquet reception yet
The hotel is made up of suites. Great for the business traveler;
nice desk and working area and also couch for relaxing and watching TV.
The alarm clock is some new fancy CD clock radio and we had no idea
how to set it. We dialed "2" on the phone to get a wake up call and that
did not work either. Finally called the front desk and was able to place
a wake-up. (Which they did do on time in the morning)
2 TV's..one in the living room area and the other in the bedroom area.
We were not there on business but stayed due to a banquet we were
attending on a Sat. night. The appetizer's all had the same bottom bread type base which was gross. The shrimp was fishy.
They had 2 bartenders set up. One was a little" more experienced than the other. In this day what bartender
does not know what a "Cosmo" or Cosmopolitan is. After he put ice
cubes in a high ball glass I quickly understood he did not know how to
make it. I did see him pour some vodka but then he said he did not know if they had any grapefruit juice. WHAT? I then told him how I thought it should be made. He still served the drink WITH the ice cubes.
Next drink I went to the other bartender. We ordered 2 cosmo's. Both
were made a different way. But they were served like martini's..no ice.
Being a fairly new hotel I do not think they had many banquets previously. The dance floor was extremely slick. Two ladies fell while dancing with in the first couple of songs. And another elderly woman fell on the carpet.. it was very plush but the pile is cut in a way is was also slippery.
Our waitress during the dinner was very attentive. I wish I could remember her name. She did not live in the area but was brought in to help with the banquet. During the meal we were served a salad that had some sort of slices of bacon. My tooth broke eating it. The rest of the dinner was fair...not outstanding.
After the dinner we went back to the room to sleep. The pillows were "hard". Funny as they looked so plush and plump. The decor of the room is very modern with 2 shades rather than drapes.
I can see that they will be having problems with the darkening shades
as it was getting stuck as I was trying to pull it down.
For business travelers there is a LARGE safe in the room that would fit
a laptop. Nice touch.
The hotel is also very close to O'hare which makes it conveinent.
I did notice that they did have a shuttle to the airport also.
The girl at the front desk was VERY professional as was the reservation
girl (at the hotel) when we made our reservation.
Give this place a try for business. I would give it some time for any
type of social banquet.
Great new hotel
This hotel opened in late February 2005. I spent one night in March and it was outstanding. The hotel is a little hard to find - I drove and the street changes names and the hotel is accessible on one side and is located on the edge of a business complex so it was a little hard to find. The exterior doors have darkened windows giving the hotel the appearance of being closed (I arrived at night). The lobby and rooms are very modern and tastefully furnished. The rooms are suites. There's a sofa, chair, modern work desk and comfortable desk chair in the living room, along with a small bar and a tv. The bedroom has an exceptionally comfortable bed, dresser, small closet, and a tv. The bathrooom features a glass oversized shower. Everyone on the staff I encountered was extremely helpful. The restaurant food was delicious - the night I ate there they were featuring tapas with a European style salad bar. There's plenty of free parking in the covered parking lot adjacent to the hotel, and there's a complimentary hotel shuttle. Great introductory room rates, too.

An Auspicious Start
... telling the guy in front of us that the "engine generator" (sounds important) has failed and we have to go back to Chicago. But we can't land with a full tank of fuel (duh), so we have to fly around Michigan for a while. Eventually we do land back at O Hare around 10, the flight gets cancelled, and we're told to stand in line to rebook for tomorrow. So we call United and reschedule and finally leave the airport around 11 ...

Merlin is a wonderful 12-year-old male Citron Cockatoo who was surrendered to FFSR because of his previous owner's health. Merlin requires a lot of attention and can be quite needy at times, but he is truly a great parrot once you get to know him. Merlin likes animal crackers, walnuts, fruits, vegetables, and cinnamon Teddy Grahams! He loves to be petted and he will often return the favor by preening you. Merlin has never been around small children, but he has shared a home with other species of parrots. Merlin is a great parrot who will make a faithful, enduring companion for the right person, so please call FFSR to make an appointment to meet Merlin!
We don't profit from placing birds and have no paid staff — everyone associated with Feathered Friends Sanctuary & Rescue is a devoted volunteer. However, in order to maintain our programs and our high standard of avian care, we must require reasonable fees from adopters. Many birds will need our care indefinitely — some for the rest of their lives. Every dollar that Feathered Friends Sanctuary & Rescue brings in is used to promote our mission and provide for birds in need. The adoption fee varies depending on species and is due in full at the time of adoption.
Parrots have become increasingly popular as pets in recent years, and too many of the people who are drawn to their beauty are unaware of the challenges of keeping an animal only a generation or two removed from the wild. Birds are messy, and some can be very loud. Unless purchased from a reputable breeder or bird shop that understands the importance of good health, socialization and proper handling after purchase, problems such as biting can pop up. Birds are also given up when a bird owner marries, or when children arrive, or sometimes because the owner can no longer handle the work involved in keeping such a high-maintenance pet. The long lives of parrots can also leave them vulnerable – with life spans measured in decades, some birds outlive their owners. For all these reasons and many more, too many parrots end up going from home to home before ending up in a place like Feathered Friends Sanctuary & Rescue if they're lucky or facing euthanasia if they're not. Few community shelters and humane groups are equipped to handle birds, which makes parrot sanctuaries even more important.

Major Pothole ArchivedNewnan Crossing Blvd E Newnan, Georgia - Newnan
There is a major pothole on the right side of the road in the northbound lane. It's evident that this intersection has a chronic issue with potholes given the number of patches that can be seen. I've personally reported issues with this part of the road in the past. When is the city going to fix the underlying cause as opposed to continuing to put a band-aid on the issue. My car would appreciate it.

One of the Buddha's most central ideas is the importance of transcending "either/or" thinking to avoid the trap of extremist views. In Beyond the Self Thich Nhat Hanh suggests that we can find tranquility by embracing all aspects of life, instead of focusing on what we like and dislike. The book contains Nhat Hanh's original translation of the Sutra on the Middle Way, as well as his commentary on how we can use this teaching to better understand how to navigate our difficulties and find peace of mind. By changing how we see the world, Beyond the Self helps us transform ourselves.

Shopping for fire trucks at Denver International Airport
Saturday, August 24, 2013 | 2 years ago
Ever dreamed of owning your own fire engine? On August 23, Denver International Airport and the Colorado Department of Transportation partnered up to sell off surplus airport equipment, with representatives from airports around the state coming to purchase vehicles and gear at an 80 percent discount. The equipment on sale was straight out of a little boy's toy box: fire engines, snowplows, dump trucks, and more. All photos by Nate Hemmert.

"Just in Time" Donor Recognition
Donor Recognition is the most powerful communication tool a fundraiser has. Yet, why is it that Donor Recognition plaques and displays seem to be ordered ONLY at the last minute?

Stewardship: Picture-perfect
A picture is worth 1000 words….done well, like this University has, a single picture is worth $1000s!
Years ago my firm worked closely with Columbus State University (GA) to establish a recognition program brand: a signature for philanthropy on their campus.
They have remained committed and true to that brand. They consistently present their philanthropy brand as a sort of "visual byte" throughout fundraising collateral, give-aways and campus recognition.
I urge you to establish your own visual signature and then work to integrate it throughout all that is fund-raising.

Insights for Successful Campaigns from Barrett Carson
Barrett Carson, now Vice President of Development at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), was the speaker at this week's Atlanta AFP Breakfast meeting . Having led many campaigns in his tenure at higher education institutions, he has had particular success at Georgia Tech (GT). He was asked to share some insights with those gathered there.
I took notes and they follow here. I present them here as he did, as "food for thought". His experience is palpable so he just shared the keys he seemed to think would be most helpful to the rest of us. Am sure everyone took away pieces and parts they found useful and so I share my notes here.
Since joining GT in 1997, his first campaign was set for $300 million but ended with $715 million. Currently having exceeded $1.5 billion for this state university, he expressed his dismay that their fundraising organization is now ranked 53 in the world!
- Define the campaign's scope: Comprehensive or just Capital needs. For him, Comprehensive refers to wall-to-wall needs. It's the type of effort he has focused on while at Georgia Tech.
- Establish metrics that make sense for the organization from the outset to track progress
- Diligence, discipline and reporting are easy words to list but key to achieving success
- A campaign, by definition, elevates the sights of an institution. To that end he urged the audience to make the commitment never to revert to the staff or energy levels found during pre-campaign status
- Specifically, don't gear up just to lay-off.
- He is careful annually throughout the life of a campaign to add staff positions, which had been taken on for campaign purposes, to become part of his annual budget. The idea is that by end of campaign those extra dollars allotted to new staff are by then part of his annual budget, allowing all new hires to be permanent members of the team. He never wants to step back to pre-campaign thinking or performance
- When choosing staff choose who can be self-sustaining. Pay more to get better folks and then expect more of them. And demand that they do so without close supervision
- Hire for collegiality not for rainmaking. Think long-term relationships with staff as well as donors. Their average tenure of staff at GT Development is 15 years
- Define the Case for Support based on your organization's aspirations. Temper each with reality and then set priorities and goals accordingly
- Be diligent about accounting. Use accepted methodologies such as those set forth by CASE or CAE; make your own decisions as to how to "count" different gift types, like planned gifts, and then stick to it. Report each accordingly. Don't deviate from your methodology
- Outside fundraising counsel can be extremely valuable to leadership as an external source of legitimacy. As he explained it, his counsel often functioned as a sounding board for leadership's new ideas. But be sure to hire the person, not the firm. You'll be working with the person, not the firm.
- Perhaps the most useful, not-to-be-overlooked statement to fundraisers was his view that Development is not to be evaluated for its cost center to an organization, but rather they are to be viewed as a Revenue Center. If management agrees, the organization will succeed because the fundraisers are then seen as respected, well-paid achievers/revenue producers

Single Stem Tomatoes?
eastpenna(6b)June 19, 2013
When I planted my tomatoes I did one every other square, now they are growing good but I was wondering if I should leave them single stem? Or allow one sucker on each plant to grow? How many tomatoes can I expect from one single stem Early Girl Plant? Will allowing one sucker double it's production?
Thanks, Dave
I let mine get more than one stem. It's difficult to predict how much of a crop you will get from a plant because so many variables are involved - fertilizer, temperature, etc.
That being said, you definitely will get more tomatoes from two stems than one. I have heard that you will get larger tomatoes from a single-stemmed plant, but I can't speak from personal experience.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tomatoes on SFG trellis

15 Most Underrated People In New Media
With the campaign getting a bit surreal, I thought I might highlight some people you should know. Today I got inspired when Marc Lamont Hill published a piece at the Huffington Post entitled "The 15 Most Overrated White People." So, then local radio show host Michael Berry on NewsTalk 750am , decided to take calls to list the "15 Most Overrated Black People."
It was all so pathetic, I thought I needed to go positive, so I decided to give you this. Many on this list may be pretty well known, but they are still underrated because they should be stars.
15 Most Underrated People In New Media : (In no particular order)
David Burge at IowaHawk is one of the funniest writers on the net. If you don't follow him on twitter you missing a daily laugh.
Jim Hoft at: GateWayPundit breaks stories way before the networks, and even before twitter. He breaks stories the MSM ignore. Every story you want to read about. He has it with details no one else has, and with video and pictures.
Emily Zanotti at Naked DC. It just doesn't get any funnier. Smart and hilarious.
Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters. Not only does he break stories on media bias, but his analysis is always right on. He does amazing work.
SmartGirlPolitics. This site is run by many conservative women, including my good buddy who co-founded it, Teri Christophe. This organization is not your Mom's Republican Women's Club. Oh no, there are no quaint teas here. It's gun toting, hard working, sexy confident conservative chicks. They modernized the conservative woman's movement.
Ben Domench and Brad Jackson of Coffee and Markets. They are pretty well known, I know, but no one does a : better more informed podcast with great guests, and you should be listening.
SooperMexican calls himself : a businessman, wise Latino, and cartoonist. He gives his conservative "mexy" take on everything, and he's just good.
DaTechGuy has to be the hardworking guy in New Media. Every event I go to I see him in the corner working away, and when the rest of us are partying at a bar, there he is again in the corner working hard. The hard work pays off with great content.
Jimmie Bise Jr at The Sundries Shack. His writings are great, but his podcasts just cover everything with great people in new media, and it's always entertaining.
Thomas LaDuke, Fingers Malloy, and all the people who broadcast on FTR Radio. They are at every convention, every conservative: event, everywhere anything good is going on. It's amazing radio.
Jim Geraghty at National Review. Yes, Jim is a distinguished well known writer at National Review, but he is truly involved in new Media, and his "Morning Jolt" is an absolute must to get sent to your inbox each morning. He is also hilarious. Even though is a star, he is still underreated. You must follow him on twitter. : @jimgeraghty
Michelle Malkin. Yes, she is already a conservative star, but she is underrated by not having her own show on a network or cable news. No one works harder. No one has done more for New Media than this woman. She was a pioneer with her own blog and her HotAir blog. She showed us all how to do it.
Andrew Kaczynski at Buzzfeed. Andrew kept this list from being "conservative people in New Media." He's not conservative, he is just about the best new media guy out there. He makes Buzzfeed funny, and keeps it from being nothing more than the mutant child of Huffington Post and Politico. He researches things no one else does. He is unique and funny.
You might have noticed that many of these people I have described as funny. I like funny. I think it helps GREATLY in politics. When you can make a great point AND make me laugh, you have my love forever. Being funny is underrated in politics.
So, go enjoy these great people. I know I do.

Plant for Pot
I need a plant for a 14 inch pot on my front porch. It is mostly in the shade, but does get about 2 hours of hot sun in the afternoon. I am tired of begonias and impatiens. I had a Heuchera and it was doing well until now. I seem to have trouble with this kind of partial sun and shade. Not enough sun for sun plants.
Thanks for writing. In your area, you'll need to make sure you choose plants that can stand up to the heat. The problem you're experiencing with your heuchera may be more related to heat than direct sun. (Without seeing it, I can't be positive, however.)
So consider plants such as coleus, torenia (wishbone flower), browallia, ornamental grasses, and sedums. This kind of situation sounds ideal for many types of houseplants, as well, including bananas, philodendrons, and dieffenbachias. (Note: If you purchase houseplants from a store, acclimate them by keeping them in full shade for a week or two, then let them experience direct sun. Otherwise their leaves will become sunburned.)

Digital government
Citizens are increasingly using government websites as a portal to federal services, and dissatisfaction with the performance and functionality of those sites is leading to a drop in overall satisfaction with the federal government, according to a recent survey.
Americans are more satisfied with the customer service they receive from airlines and mobile-phone companies than from the federal government, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index survey of 1,448 consumers. The federal government satisfaction score, based on ASCI's benchmarking of survey answers, was 66. Only Internet service providers ranked below feds, at 65.
According to the survey, about 35 percent of people most frequently access government services online, compared to 19 percent who list the phone as their primary channel for government interactions and 11 percent who prefer in-person visits.
"On the one hand, e-government offers an efficient means of delivering public services," said Claes Fornell, ACSI chairman and a professor at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. "On the other, burgeoning user demand now makes it more challenging for the federal government to maintain a satisfactory level of service."
The troubled launch of HealthCare.gov contributed to the drop in satisfaction, but the Department of Health and Human Services' score of 66 did not make it the bottom-ranked agency. That honor went to the departments of Treasury (58) and Homeland Security (61), which brought up the rear in terms of customer satisfaction.
However, consumers were pleased with some online government services, such as electronic tax filing, the online federal student aid application hosted by the Education Department and the interface for the National Cemetery Administration at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Furthermore, the ASCI survey revealed a gap between trust in government agencies and trust in the government as a whole. In terms of trust, agencies received a score of 67 on the ASCI scale in 2013, down from 71 in 2012. However, the score for government as a whole -- which includes Congress, the president and the federal courts -- plummeted to 35 in 2013, down from 43 the year before.
"While citizens have minimal trust in the federal government in the aggregate, they still have reasonably high trust in the specific agencies with which they interact," the report states.

So you want a better website interface between the govt and the public? This really isn't a problem. All it takes is more budget for govt agencies to do the design/programming, and more civil serrvants to define requirements. It's really that simple. The main problem the federal govt has in websites is they don't apply many resources to it. No one likes IT because it always costs money, yet everyone loves IT because it is so efficient and convenient. When the president blamed the IT community for the botched rollout of healthcare.gov, he didn't say anything about applying more resources to make it work well. And that is the problem. The blame lies with the administration's lack of vision and advocacy for funds to complete it right, not just fast. Why shouldn't the average citizen not trust the govt when they do such obviously stupid things whilst spending money like a drunken sailor, just not on IT.

We need to also have them have time limit on there terms.
