Crispified JM
Unfortunately, our recent vacation corresponded with the hottest days of the summer, and we came home to find our potted JM a crispy critter. About 3/4 of the leaves in the upper canopy are all brown and dead, but there are signs of greenery in the lower quarter of this small (about 3') potted tree. Should I do anything at all to the tree (besides keep it watered)? Should I remove the crispy leaves or let 'em stay where they are? Any hope of a recovery this summer, or will I not see any new leaves until next spring?
If there are still viable leaves or green shoots showing, just keep the tree well watered. It is quite likely it will produce new growth still this season.
Something quite similar happened to one of my small, containerized maples -- got overlooked in its watering during a record breaking heat wave. The entire tree shriveled up. I thought it was a goner but it has sprouted fresh new growth on all but the outermost stems, which are indeed dead.
we have near 100 temp summers and my 4 potted JMs usually have crispy leaves around july-august each year. last year 2 of my smaller ones went into early hibernation and stayed leafless until this spring. one of the larger ones dropped its leaves in Sept and releafed later in Oct and then turned a nice fiery red in Jan.
your JMs should be fine. one sign of life would be to look at the joints/notches and look for full and firm buds.
heres the pic taken in mid Jan

Are there any advances on this or is just a more stable version waninkoko's first firmware?Sponsored Links
rogero runs fifa 11 without the need of lv2.pkg, waninkokos says devs should make use of the advantages of his cfw to make new versions of their programs. I used mednafen a lot, but now it gives an error and doesn't start. can't wait for a new version that works on this cfw!
I am at 3.41, can I just install the the new ver or do I have to got 3.55 first then install the new version?
running fine, tho it says PL3 in mm but i'm unsure its correct, everything seems to be fine. farenheit i think you can install but you can't run whatever you installed, afaik, haven't tried a lot but "psn" full game, and snesemu for 341 unsigned. installed but gives 80010009 error.
not sure about snes but all my installed psn "debug" games didn't work after i upgraded from 3.41 Hermes to 3.55.
Neither did comgenie's file manager but I reinstalled it and it works (signed 3.41) Cover manager doesn't work period. My installed xmb games still work fine, blu ray movies still work.
I'll try reinstalling the psn games and see if they work again.
well this sucks is it just me or we can't install psn games that use debug packages to make full? Example Magic Orbz worked find 3.41 went to this and it won't load. Even deleted and reinstalled.
Anyone able to install and run psn games converted from demo to full? I can install but i get an error not exactly sure but something like 8000019.
nicotine... I have the same model and it works fine. I had to run the fix permission pack though to make multiman load the games otherwise I kept getting a black screen.
This has all patches needed to run homebrew and backups built in where kmeaws doesn't.
This is about as stable as v1 of his cfw. I never had a problem with V1 and it looks like V2 is the same. Only crash I can still do is if a backup is loaded but not running then I try to sign into PSN it locks up. If I have a disc in the drive it doesn't always lock up, only without a disc.
I installed it direct from XMB over the top of V1 and its going fine. Some games run discless now. (GT5 is the only one I tried atm)

Peter and his team at Charleston Virtuosi were fantastic to deal with throughout all of our planning. We chose the gypsy jazz duo for our ceremony and dinner musicians, then a DJ (Jake, he was awesome!) for our reception. Everything went off without a hitch! Thank you, Peter!
The young lady that played guitar for our wedding was very talented and very sweet. She was dressed professionally and we were very pleased with the result.
I would love to give this group more than just 5s!
Charleston Virtuosi was fantastic! They played our ceremony music and cocktail hour. They are incredibly talented and extremely professional. Peter was our contact person during the entire planning process and he was very helpful, sweet, and responsive. We hired a violinist and guitarist as suggested by Peter because of our song choices. The duo was able to learn 4 songs for us which sounded beautiful during our ceremony. I wish parts of the ceremony weren't such a blur just for the sake of being able to recall how wonderful they sounded.
I would absolutely recommend the Charleston Virtuosi to any bride looking for beautiful ceremony music- they are also very reasonably priced!
We were recently married and had Charleston Virtuosi play music for our ceremony. We couldn't be happier with the job they did. They were able to learn a new song for us specifically and it was wonderful. All the guests raved about how amazing the music was. Definitely well worth the money and would highly recommend them!
Perfect score all around! If you want to elevate your party or event to the next level of awesomeness, HIRE THE Charleston Virtuosi & the Manny Band with their very unique electric violin performance. We found them on Google and hired them for our wedding ceremony and wedding reception. Peter and everyone else were a pleasure to work with, they were very accommodating when it came to special requests, and, of course, they rocked. Everyone was dancing like crazy until the end, which of course came too soon. We would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. In fact, I find myself trying to come up with an excuse to throw another party so we can have them back!
Despite inclement weather and trouble traveling through Charleston, our cellist made it on time. Our guests made a point to mention that they loved the ceremony music and that the cellist was exceptional.
We were extremly pleased with Curtis our wedding singer. Charelston Virtuosi did a amazing job and provided us with exactly what we wanted.. Made our wedding day even more special..
Charleston Virtuosi is a beautiful, talented, and professional ensemble in the Charleston area. I requested a trio for my wedding and had specific song requests. Not only did they learn the songs I requested but they also made my wedding less stressful by being so professional. All of my guests complimented the ceremony music for days! I highly recommend this ensemble for any special occasion!
We used Charleston Virtuosi for our Ceremony Music based on a recommendation from my wedding planner. We also booked Seth G. with through them for our cocktail hour immediately following the ceremony. They very accommodating and even agreed to learn a new song for the wedding march at the last minute! I could not have been more pleased!!! We had so many compliments on their music from my guests. Peter was great to work with and I would highly recommend for any occasion. Thank you again to the Charleston Virtuosi team!
The music provided by Charleston Virtuosi in our wedding was magical. We wanted our special day to be memorable for us and our guests and it was. Thanks Peter and Charleston Virtuosi for making this a dream come true!
Music is a huge part of everyone's wedding. Having a destination wedding, a friend recommended The Charleston Virtuosi, I could not of been more pleased. Peter Kiral made sure every detail of the pre ceremony music, ceremony music, and actually the music during dinner was perfect. It was exactly what we wanted. The Charleston Virtuosi made the Charleston atmosphere come to life. Thank you Peter and the whole group, it was amazing!
Charleston Virtuosi was the first vendor that we booked after getting our venue. We were so excited to have a string band at our wedding ceremony. We were beyond happy with the Charleston Virtuosi. They were professional, kind, and provided such a beautiful component to our wedding. Peter was wonderful with communication prior to the wedding. He was quick to answer all of my questions. We highly recommend Charleston Virtuosi to anyone having a wedding in the Charleston area.
Charleston Virtuosi was simply fantastic from the minute I contacted them to play at our ceremony and cocktail hour. They communicated in a timely fashion and could play every song I wanted at our wedding. They are a very talented group and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for musicians to play at their wedding. They added the perfect music to our perfect day!
Peter with charleston virtuosi was awesome. With some very last minute changes, Peter came through and was able to execute perfectly- helping decrease the stress and work with me and my request with absolute kindness, promptness and professionalism. He even added his personal attendance as our violinist to us for a very minimal cost, when we were wanting some classical songs played that needed more than simply an acoustic guitar. Simply, he made it happen. Both he and his guitarist were able to perform most of the non traditional songs that we requested and performed them with elegance and expertise. The music was beautiful and perfect for our beach side service, and the performance during the cocktail hour was praised by our guests. We would happily hire charleston virtuosi for any future event in charleston and we highly recommend them to any couples looking for the best and very reliable musicians for their wedding.
I highly recommend Charleston Virtuosi. Peter was so friendly and excellent with communication during the planning process. The musicians were all very professional and provided fabulous music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I felt they were very reasonably priced. They are willing to travel and very worth it!!
These guys did a great job. Always quick to respond to questions and concerns in emails and were on time and on point. We requested they play modern songs before the start of the ceremony and could not have been more pleased with how it turned out.

Woman uses daughter as human shield from police
The woman was reportedly driving drunk with children in her car
TULSA — A woman used her 8-year-old daughter as a human shield when police tried to arrest her, according to police.
According to a police report, 26-year-old Elizabeth Cox was drunk at the Canyon Creek Apartments on Saturday. Neighbors reported she was driving around the complex with children in the vehicle, and other reported that she caused a disturbance and assaulted people.
When they tried to arrest her for public intoxication, she forced her daughter between her and officers to prevent them from taking her into custody, the report says.

WANTED: Pineapple Sage
If anybody has pineapple sage to share at the swap I would love some. I am also dreaming of shrubs, clematis, hibiscus and just about any other plant lol. I have a very large umbrella plant, small pots of aloe, swedish ivy, better boy tomatoes, summer squash, salvia coral nymph seedlings, country iris, and a sum and substance hosta ready so far. I will also have an assortment of books. I will pot up some toad lillies if someone is interested. The swap is only days away. Weehoo! Rhonda
I would love some rooted cuttings. You are more than welcome to the swedish ivy but maybe I'm missing something because I have never smelled it. Anyhow I will put your name on it. I will be at the table with the homemade paper flower, teenagers and ten year old plant lover. See you there! Rhonda
Hi Rhonda,
I'd love to trade you for some of your toad lilies, sum and substance hosta ,and summer squash seedlings. I am bringing pond plants and some glad bulbs, mixed lilies and mixed cannas. Please let me know if you'd like to trade.(plus other plants as I dig and divide them.)
Marianne, I would love to trade with you. Do you still have zebra grass? I think pink futurity cannas would look great next to my pool. I like fragrant lilies if you have any. I will put your name on the sum and substance hosta, toad lilies and some squash. Whatever you come up with I am sure will be great. See you there very soon! Rhonda

1059 Tasting Notes
Thanks so much to the lovely teamore for this swap sample!
I'm a little leery of heavily floral teas, though a good jasmine green is one of my favorite things ever. This one does NOT taste like drinking perfume, LOL. It is delicate, feminine, sweet and totally drinkable! It is the kind of flavor I can get lost in…
I really want to try the Champagne Rose Cream now! ugh!!!!
The Champagne & Rose Cream is one of the teas I'm most proud of. I love how it came out. I definitely recommend giving it a try. :)
I'm hoping to place an order not next week but the week after. Fingers crossed for art fair monies! And fingers crossed you don't run out of carrot cake before then! :)
Stephanie-I would really doubt that we would run out of the carrot cake by then. We have enough for 3 large batches. I could always set aside an ounce for you to be sure though.
Oh man. Another to add to my wishlist for butiki. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Champagne & rose cream is already on there as well. Too many! Not enough mulah! :(
Stephanie-Ok. I will be announcing when we are getting low on it anyways.
BrewTEAlly Sweet-Glad to hear that our teas sound interesting! :)
I can vouch for the champagne and rose cream being exquisite, and am a huge, huge, huge fan of the rose violet calendula. It's almost too beautiful for me to drink. Almost.
STILL not awake! So I decided to try this swap sample from BrewTEAlly Sweet :)
I'm not really sure what to make of this flavor. It is very toasty/roasty from the roasted mate/coffee beans but I'm not getting much else. That's okay though. I am glad I got to try it but apparently I prefer my mate with a little something more to flavor it :)
I'm totally going to fall asleep during yoga class tonight, hahaha.
I bought this tisane locally last night in bulk. It has a lot of lemongrass, some lemon peel, ginger, and licorice root.
It was very inexpensive and is a really good bedtime tea when I'm not in the mood for a chamomile based blend.
I like me some lemongrass! And the ginger is nice and spicy :)
kimquat is awesome for sending me a serving of this. I loves it and I haven't had a chance to buy any yet! It is a perfect fall tea :)
I will be drinking cups of it all day while I work!
I'm sooooooo jealous. I've been trying to get my hands on some of this! I think I actually might have a swap containing this on its way already. I can't remember ha ha
I've been drinking this one all day. Very, very nice! I love a good creamy, vegetal oolong :)
Thanks again to kimquat for the wonderful Mandala swap package. I know exactly what I'm going to be ordering now! :D
Now I just have to wait a couple weeks for my big fall art fair so I have TEA MONIES! WOOT
Made a double strong pot of this tea for me and my husband and a batch of this chai mix http://www.food.com/recipe/awesome-and-economical-chai-concentrate-34713
So we are having some AWESOME decaf chai together this evening! :D

Albert Ganyushin is the Head of International Listings for NYSE Euronext. He is responsible for International Business Development and Client...
Image via Wikipedia
NYSE Euronext is hosting The NYSE Russia Business and Investment Summit aimed at increasing awareness of U.S. investors in the potential of Russian equities, attracting foreign investments into the Russian economy, promoting public offerings of Russian companies and boosting cross-border transaction activity.
This event offers the chance to meet the major players in the Russian business arena as well as key fund managers interested in Russian investment. The Summit will provide in-depth perspectives on the current state of the Russian economy while allowing its participants to discuss strategic opportunities with market leaders as well as U.S. and Russian government officials.
NYSE Euronext currently has 4 companies listed from Russia:
These 4 players have a total market capitalization of about $55 billion. The NYSE/Russia relationship dates back to the Vimpel-Communications IPO on November 15, 1996. The most recent Russian company to list on the NYSE Euronext was UC Rusal which raised $2.2 billion in its IPO on the NYSE Euronext Paris market in June 2010.
With President Dmitry Medvedev's initiative to launch Moscow as an International Financial Center (MIFC) underway, Russia recognizes the importance of advancing domestic capital markets to ensure transparency, technological capacity and credibility underpinned by a robust regulatory framework. Duncan Niederauer will be attending President Medvedev's Advisory Board on MFIC on 28 October.
Russia has an aggressive $50 billion privatization program of key state assets and a crowded pipeline of IPOs originating from within Russian borders, the international capital markets will continue to play a pivotal role for private issuers and government. This should come as no surprise given Russian issuers have raised $58 billion on international markets since 2006 in IPOs and follow-ons.
In these volatile times of 2011 seven attempted Russian GDR offerings have been canceled in Europe and of the six deals that have closed, most priced at the lower end of the initial pricing range. With increased regulatory burdens and scrutiny, at a time when capital is relatively scarce and investor appetite limited, Russian issuers should consider anchoring their IPOs to the US capital markets.
NYSE's large community of listed issuers benefit from access to the full depth of the world's largest and most active capital markets as well as providing access to a diverse trading community in the US. Using the robust regulatory regime of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation that brings real credibility, issuers are put on par with other comparable companies as they compete for international capital.
As the world's leading exchange operator of financial markets, connecting members to our community through our networks is at the core of what we do. We look forward to reaffirming our relationship with Russia's investment community and anticipate the event will bring together global thought leaders with a common interest in the region as NYSE Euronext hosts The NYSE Russia Business and Investment Summit 2011.

cloud computing
industry, there are a series of technologies you can use to run your web environments, from cloud to dedicated. Users can have a
environment at Rackspace by connecting
Cloud Servers
and dedicated servers via RackConnect™. Here is a fun illustration that highlights this technology in the simplest of terms.

Cannabis is safer[edit]
Return to top. See article: Cannabis is safer.
- Obama correctly said that cannabis is safer than alcohol. See: Cannabis is safer.
- He also said marijuana should be treated more as a public health issue than a criminal one.
- USA. 1 in 10 deaths of working-age adults are alcohol-related (disease, overdose, car crashes, falls, violence, etc). 87,798 per year, 2006 to 2010. [193][194][195][196][197].
See longer article: Cannabis is safer.
- Imagine if Mitt Romney had been elected President of the USA.
- Obama on marijuana legalization. [198]. "My suspicion is that you're gonna see other states start looking at this". The Washington Post. Jan. 22, 2015. Obama also said: "Last year you had the first time in 40 years where the crime rate and the incarceration rate went down at the same time."
- Holder's Legacy: Steering Away From the Drug War and Mass Incarceration. [199][200].
- U.S.: Attorney General Eric Holder Ends Incentive For Law Enforcement To Seize Property.
Drug war + Trickle-Down Economics[edit]
Return to top. See: U.S. Drug War. Republicans lead.
Ronald Reagan, 1980 campaign speech [201]: "Leading medical researchers are coming to the conclusion that marijuana, pot, grass, whatever you want to call it, is probably the most dangerous drug in the United States, and we haven't begun to find out all of the ill effects, but they are permanent ill effects. The loss of memory for example."
- See context, and above quote, at 1 minute 7 seconds into this video clip narrated by Woody Harrelson.
|Drug war + trickle-down Reaganomics = mass incarceration and mass control.
Cost of drug war[edit]
- See article: Cost of U.S. drug war. See: Drug war causes high U.S. incarceration rate. See also: Drug war charts and maps. See: cannabis arrests.
|Drug war cost charts, infographics, and links.
Click the infographics to enlarge them.
Obamacare is better than the old healthcare system. Drug rehab for harder drugs is now paid for by Obamacare. It is far cheaper than jail. But Obamacare does not cover everybody because of the incredible waste of health insurance companies. Single-payer covers everybody (including veterans, most of whom are only partially covered by Veterans Administration care). It is much easier to use (almost no paperwork for patients), is far cheaper per capita [210], and gets better overall health results. U.S. Healthcare Ranked Dead Last Compared To 10 Other Countries. June 16, 2014. Forbes: "Many continue to falsely assume that we pay more for healthcare because we get better health (or better health outcomes)." Why Do Other Rich Nations Spend So Much Less on Healthcare? The Atlantic. July 23, 2014. And 200 million claims were denied yearly before Obamacare. [211][212][213][214][215].
Health insurance companies suck money from their hosts, but provide no tangible service. Just like toll-road companies. See: Toll Roads Are A Bad Idea. Both just handle the money, and take a cut of the money. They build costly buildings to house the accounting staff, and claim deniers. Costly 16-lane toll plazas are built, often on expensive urban land.
|The majority of people incarcerated in prisons and jails in the USA are in due to drug-related offenses, crimes to get money for drugs, or drug-related parole or probation violations. Wikipedia: Drug-related crime. The number of inmates in the USA has increased almost 5 times over since 1980. The USA has the highest incarceration rate of any nation b c (except for the tiny country of the Seychelles). Compare incarceration rates worldwide. The cost of the U.S. drug war is at least 1.5 trillion dollars. Cannabis is safer! Share link.

Sorry Knootygurl!
This might not be the place to post this thread, but it needs to be said. I cannot read your PM nor can I send one because I'm new here I guess. When I go to read the PM a box appears explaining I do not have privileges to read or send PM's.
Sorry Knottygurl I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you guys because I'm not! I look forward to chatting with you and we hope to sail the same waters one day.
I thought of giving you my email address right here...but really not sure if that's a good idea?
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
I believe you need at least 10 posts to be able to check your PMs.
Either post a bunch of times on this thread or find the 'Song Chain' thread and rack up some posts there.
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
I thought she left? Does she still post?
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
I presume we are talking about "KnottyGurl" as there is no Knootygurl. KG has been here quite recently and posted only a couple of days back.
Caleb is correct .... you need ten posts to allow you to message other members. Its a spam thing.
Yes, places like the Song Chain are a good way to build up some posts but I do find it passing strange that a newcomer cannot find ten threads worthy of at least a question or comment.
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
Thanks for the info. and yes I mis-spelled the name!
10 posts is not a lot for a newbie or anyone I suppose...just was not aware that's what it took to read a PM.
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
And this one.
Re: Sorry Knootygurl!
And this one.
Get the idea?

Hickory Police stopped a purple Chevrolet Caprice after an alleged armed robbery at 11:45 a.m. Thursday.
The car was occupied by two males that were arrested after a traffic stop at about noon on Lenoir-Rhyne Boulevard for allegedly robbing a residence in the 200 block of 10th Avenue Southeast in Hickory.
Hickory Police Sgt. R. George said the suspects were somewhat cooperative during the arrest, and evidence was found in the car.
Hickory Police are investigating.
Police are searching for a suspect that allegedly stole money from a convenience store while purchasing an item.
At 5:42 a.m. Wednesday, a while male attempted to buy a drink and biscuit from the Little Market Basket, on N.C. 16 North in Conover. The man didn't have enough money to purchase the drink and biscuit, so he put one item back and gave the clerk money for the other.
The clerk said when the cash register opened to complete the sale, the man stuck his hand in the register and grabbed $36 from the drawer, according to an incident report.
Gail Hoyle Scronce, 64, of Newton, passed away Thursday, April 14, 2011, at Pallatiative CareCenter and Hospice of Catawba Valley. The Scronce family has entrusted funeral arrangements to Drum Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Conover.
Harold Eugene Braswell Jr., 43, of Maiden, passed away Thursday, April 14, 2011, at Catawba Valley Medical Center. A memorial service will be held Saturday, April 16, 2011, at 11 a.m. at Fairview Baptist Church in Lincolnton with the Rev. Dwayne Pearson officiating.
Community members are putting their best feet forward to help support ALFA to improve the lives of those infected with AIDS.
Saturday marks the second annual Hike for Hope, sponsored by Advancing Life Fighting AIDS, at the Catawba River Greenway in Morganton.
"The Greenway was an ideal setting in 2010," said Rodney Tucker, ALFA executive director. "The riverside location and mid-spring weather really furthered the atmosphere of hope. We're excited to bring people back this year to Burke County, which is one of ALFA's largest service areas."
A Conover man's lifelong dedication to the agriculture industry through leadership and participation led to state award.
Ira Cline, of Conover, was awarded the Hall of Fame award by the North Carolina Vegetable Growers' Association for his continued work, innovation and leadership to the vegetable industry.
Dick Tunnell, chairman of the board for the NCVGA, presented the award to Cline in December at the Southeast Vegetable and Fruit Expo in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
"When you get an award in front of all the people you've known for years, it's humbling," said Cline.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office SWAT team raided a residence on the Buffalo Shoals Road Thursday morning.
Lincoln County Sheriff's Sgt, Steven Grinnell received information that James Andrew Woods Jr. was wanted on a number of charges and was at the residence at 843 Buffalo Shoals Road in Lincolnton. Grinnell confirmed the information and contacted the SWAT team leader.
David Doolittle's passion for music started at a young age. Now, at 73, he still enjoys making music come alive.
"I enjoy hearing the notes jump off of the page and be pleasing to hear for the audience," said Doolittle, who is a member of the Newton-Conover Community Concert Band and Jazz Band.
Doolittle started in sixth grade playing the clarinet and advanced to the bass clarinet and tenor saxophone in high school. In college, he continued to perform in band and picked up the baritone saxophone, the instrument he plays in the community concert and jazz bands.
Five former coaches and athletes were announced as members of the 2011 Catawba County Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday.
Among the names in this year's class are NASCAR champion Dale Jarrett, youth sports coach William "Skip" Beatty, slow-pitch softball sponsor Richard Howard and Hickory High School stand outs Cathy Burgess Hitchcock and Charles Allen "Al" Young.
The quintet will be a part of the 10th class of the hall of fame.
Harold W. Miller, 90, of Conover, passed away Tuesday, April 12, 2011, at Palliative CareCenter and Hospice of Catawba Valley. The Miller family has entrusted funeral arrangements to Drum Funeral Home & Cremation in Conover.
Most people have never heard of a retreat called the Shelton Challenge, except Jade Stewart.
Stewart, a junior at Newton-Conover High School, has participated in this experience for two years and was accepted for a third year as a peer leader.
"The camper is the first stage of the camp and after you have been a camper you can apply to be a peer leader, which is like a camp counselor," said Stewart.
Stewart's was a camper her first year and became a peer leader her second year. She will hold the peer leader position her third year, too.

DiCaprio gets a restraining order against female attacker
By Molly McGonigle
Leonardo DiCaprio has taken out a restraining order against a Canadian woman who hit him in the face with a beer bottle. The woman has been ordered to stay away from DiCaprio by at least 500 yards. The restraining order also applies to two eyewitnesses.
The assault took place back in 2005 at a private Hollywood event and resulted in the "Inception" star receiving a dozen stitches in the face.
RELATED: See how much 'Inception' made in one weekend
The suspect, Aretha Wilson, fled to Canada after the attack, but was extradited back to Los Angeles.
Wilson had been on probation in Canada for a previous incident, which was also allegedly unprovoked and without a clear motive. Her bail has been raised from $50,000 to $60,000 based on a concern she won't appear in court next time.

This Week @ MHS
We start this week's installment of the events calendar by noting that the MHS is closed Thursday, 28 November - Saturday, 30 November, in observance of Thanksgiving. Normal hours resume on Monday, 2 December. But before that we have two public programs for you.
First, on Monday, 25 November, the Society hosts and author talk with Thomas Whalen of Boston University who will present "JFK & His Enemies: A Profile in Power, 1946-1963." At nearly every stage of his political career, Kennedy collected his fair share of enemies. Whalen will discuss the complex and strained relationships Kennedy had with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and how their mutual hostility inadvertently led to this assassination on 22 November 1963. This public program begins at 6:00PM with a pre-talk reception starting at 5:30PM. Please RSVP for this event.
On Tuesday, 26 November, is the latest in our Immigration and Urban History seminar series. Join us as David Hernández of Mount Holyoke College presents "A Place Reeking with Rottenness: The 'Corpus Christi Situation' (1933) and Legacies of Abusive Immigrant Detention." This talk examines an internal investigation of the Immigration Service in 1933 which exposed allegations of violence, sexual abuse, extortion, and coerced testimonies in a detention facility run by Julia and Olivia Valente. The event is part of a legacy of detainee abuse--from denial of legal rights and poor conditions of incarceration to violence, sexual abuse, and death that is widespread in immigrant facilities today. The case of the Valente Detention Home thus provides the operating terms for understanding contemporary detention practices, in particular, the use of private and non-federal facilities and management for detaining immigrants. Comment provided by Daniel Kanstroom of Boston College Law School. Seminars are free and open to the public; RSVP required. Talk begins at 5:15PM.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Many boomers are choosing to remain in their current homes as they age. Aging in Place means the ability to live in your own home comfortably and safely for as long as possible. As people remodel their homes, they're including Universal Design products—a design concept that meets the needs of people with varied abilities. It considers people with age-related problems, people who are tall or short, as well as those with various physical or mental impairments. It also acknowledges that abilities change over time.
It's spring fix-up time! The weather is getting warmer and motivated homeowners start tackling their spring to-do lists. Projects range from painting the house exterior to smaller, less daunting tasks such as cleaning, simple repairs or updates. If you're leaning toward the simpler, less expensive route, why not update your lighting? Replacing dated lighting adds pizazz to a space without breaking the bank!
Tankless water heaters provide an endless source of hot water and can cut energy costs up to 30 percent per year if usage remains consistent. Traditional tanks can develop rust and scale build-ups. A tankless unit does not store water so you'll have fresher, cleaner water. They're wall mounted and require less space too.
Kitchens are the heart of the home and used for so much more than preparing food. They're a gathering place and often an extension of the family living area. People today are staying in their homes longer and are remodeling to suit their taste and lifestyle and not just for resell value. Statistics show a kitchen remodel has the largest pay-back of any home remodel.
With the holiday season fast approaching, we are happy to offer 20% off on Anderson Teak and Anderson Chapman collections. Teak patio furniture is beautiful and long lasting. It is the choice wood for the finest yachts because of its natural warmth, fine grain, and durability against the harshest conditions.
Counter tops are the focal point of any kitchen. Everyone notices a nice or horrible counter top. A beautiful counter top can make cheap cabinets look better and expensive cabinets look sensational. Granite and marble have been constants in counter top options. Natural stone brings uniqueness because no two pieces are alike. While this may be something that draws consumers in, they are also looking for new low maintenance options. There are man-made slab options in the marketplace, but some come require some maintenance to keep them looking in pristine condition.
What will spring 2013 look like in terms of colour? While the colours are fresh and bright, they are not quite as bold as what we saw last year. The neutral tones are more subtle and almost fade into the background and there is a strong green influence for 2013. Greens are predicted to span all spectrums as we see undertones of blue, grey, and yellow in the top shades.
It's that time of year…the Niagara Wine Festival is on. Running through September 30, the region is focusing on the wineries and vineyards, tastings and events, all with a local flair. The odds are good that you will come home with a bottle or several based on new discoveries. For those who are passionate about their wine, stowing it on a shelf somewhere is not appropriate. And kitchen trends over the past couple years have seen a sharp decline in wine fridges. So where should your new vintages be stored prior to consumption? The wine cellar, naturally.

Using A Heating Cable For Potted Plants During Winter
Hey folks,
I want to plant a tall lilac bush and a tall service berry bush (looking for 10' tall or so). But, the area that it's going in is on top of my stone patio. So, I want to keep them in a large insulated container or build a raised bed with insulation. I live in MA though and fear they might die during the winter due to the roots freezing. I'm wondering if I put a soil heating cable into the soil of the insulated pot/raised bed if that would suffice to ensure they survive the winters? Maybe also a soil heating mat and some extra mulch on top for good measure?
What do you think?
Serviceberries are really hardy, all the way up to zone 3, so I think they would be fine. Snow cover would be beneficial because it would insulate the containers from temperature swings.
Wintering plants in containers or raised beds does expose the roots to bigger temperature swings than being in the ground - there's no way around that. But both these plants are tough and probably worth a shot.
I would not recommend the soil heating cables or mats because that would actually be quite warm and seems more likely to cause damage. Besides, do you really want to use that much energy? (~20 watts each x 24 hours a day x all winter long) Granted, it's not a huge use of energy but it seems a little gratuitous. Then again, I am more sensitive than most about energy use. :)
Anyway, I would try it without heat and if possible you can shovel snow over the pots to keep them insulated. That's what I do with my marginally hardy roses, which are handily planted right next to the sidewalk which needs frequent shoveling.
Oh - also make sure the containers are capable of handling the freeze-thaw. Definitely watch out for ceramic containers.
It's not that there isn't scientific inquiry into freeze tolerance of container trees. But this type of information can be obscurely located, difficult to access and probably won't be specifically about the plants you're interested in. And much in horticulture is not known. On top of that, there are micro-climate influences that can be significant variables in the success or failure of such an experiment. You will probably need to pay your money and take your chances.
Since freezing and staying frozen is probably much better for a plant than freeze-thaw-freeze-thaw, etc... a well insulated container sounds like a good idea. Not really trying to discourage your experimentation with the heat cable, but I doubt it will be an advantage more than choosing plants (which you've already done) whose roots are capable of tolerating freeze, since that's what happens in the ground where they live. In order to minimize freeze-thaw cycles, it would be good to keep the plant in a location where the sun does not hit it once it's frozen. Reporting back on the results of your experiment, with details, might be helpful for others in the future.
Ok, cool! I'll give it a shot without the the cables. Hope it works because the plants I'm buying are tall so they are between $130 and $195 each (ouch).
Do you guys have any other suggestions for tall shrubs (around 10' or greater) that could survive in a container/raised bed through winter? I've got a 6' fence that doesn't quite block out the neighbor's windows. I wanted to do trees, but I read such mixed things about the trees ability to survive under these conditions.
Have you ever grown trees in containers long term? It's not exactly a plant-and-forget proposition. Attention must be paid to watering and fertilizing - much more so than any inground plantings - and the trees will need to be lifted, root pruned and repotted with fresh medium from time to time. The bigger the tree, the more work that will be.
In general, the recommendation is to look for a plant at least two zones lower than your hardiness zone - if you are in zone 6, you should be looking at plants with a zone 4 hardiness rating. That is not always a guarantee the plant will survive - roots are the most vulnerable to cold of any woody plant part and container soils can freeze easily, as can those in a raised bed or any other elevated situation that lacks the insulating effect of a large soil mass.
FWIW, I think it would be easier to insulate a container than it would a raised bed. Bubble wrap is a good choice, but burlap (wrapped in layers) and newspapers work well also. I agree the heating cable may be excessive - you want the soil to stay cold but keep from freezing solid.
Personally, I would not risk the expense and the size of the trees you propose for this somewhat uncertain enterprise. I'd be much more inclined to experiment with something much smaller and cheaper first and see how it goes before committing to big plants and big bucks. btw, smaller plants initially generally fair better at this sort of activity anyway.
I did not know all of that regarding the maintenance. Thanks for the heads up. Yeah...I've got no interest in doing that, so trees are definitely out.
Would you agree that the lilacs and service berry's wouldn't be as sensitive as trees would be (or require pruning the roots, etc)?
Hmmm...Well, what's the root system like of lilacs and service berrys? Are they strong bark like structures, similar to trees? Or are they thinner and softer? Because I could plant them above the pvc pool pipes, I'm just afraid they'll damage the pipes as they grow. What do you think?
Serviceberries ARE trees, just smallish deciduous ones, but they will still have a large, spreading root systems. Ditto the lilacs. Lilacs are actually included in a classification known as suckering shrubs, which describes their habit of generating new stem growth from the base of the plant (root crown). Eventually they can form an impressively large colony. And either plant could be an issue when planted directly above shallow pool piping
Let's go back to the beginning. What exactly were you hoping to accomplish by these planted containers or raised beds? Privacy? Some softening greenery? Seasonal color? Cuz there are numerous ways of accomplishing these goals without having to go to extremes.
nullqwerty, as gardengal points out, it can be some doing to keep a large plant going in a container for the long haul. Still, it is done here and there with some success. You might consider showing the forum what the actual problem is in a photo. We might be able to suggest a workable solution that you have not yet thought of... maybe one that is easier, cheaper, or less risky.
To answer your question about what plants might survive a container through the winter, I have a vague recollection from my days in Illinois of Japanese Maple being one that did this with little or no complaining. It's too long ago so I can't speak to details of it. Making a guess, I'd bet that Burning Bush also could. As probably could the one's you've mentioned. Actually, the soil and roots freeze--in the ground and in the container--and plants that live in harsh winters are used to this. They're not used to repeated freezes & thaws. Depending on your container, you'd need insulation that cushions as the icy rootball can break the container if something doesn't give. A complete perimeter styrafoam lining of the container would be my first choice. I've seen it used this way. You might consider x-posting your question in a state forum with a large, cold city. I know that there are many container trees in Chicago. In places like that, people would know more about this subject.
@gardengal48 : Yep, for privacy. I've got a 6' fence, but right above it are neighbors windows that I was hoping to block out as best as I could. So, I need something tall. I'm just really out of ideas, since I can't plant anything due to the pool pipes, and not much else could fit there either (like no spot for a shed) since the fence is only 7-8 feet from the pool and runs parallel to it. Only other thing I was thinking of was maybe a trellis with climbing rose bushes or something.
@Yardvaark : Thanks for all tips. I'd post a pic, but just in case my neighbor comes across this in the future, I figure I better not. Again though, thanks for the help.
Seems like the general consensus is that most feel with a well insulated container or raised bed, a lilac or serviceberry should survive. So, I'll probably give that a shot.
Again, thanks everyone
OK, now that I've got an idea what you are going for.......:-)
FWIW, neither the lilac or serviceberry are very effective privacy plants. Better in summer than winter but not ideal even in the height of the season. Nice flowers.......crummy screening ability. One suggestion would be a raised bed with clumping bamboo. Bamboo is an excellent screening plant, as it is pretty much evergreen, will become quite dense in time, has a very narrow profile and can generate some pretty fast height. And because bamboo is just a big ornamental grass, it does not have a deep root system, like the trees/shrubs would. And clumping bamboo - is its name implies - does not develop a very widely spreading root system, either.
I'd look at the Fargesia selections. These are all extremely well-behaved clumpers and some of the most cold tolerant of any bamboo species (-20F, including root hardiness). If you can construct a reasonably deep raised bed (12-18" deep), you should be good to go with these :-)
I have been a bamboo lover for a long time. I've owned running bamboo but always liked the idea of clumping bamboo, thinking it sounded like a winning solution. But after moving to Florida and seeing what clumping bamboo really becomes, I've changed my opinion of it. I'm not saying don't get clumping bamboo, but know and understand what it is you're getting beforehand as clumpers can become monsters, too. A neighbor of mine has some that he would dearly love to get rid of but can't afford the expense as it would require a D-9 CAT. An army could not work its way through it. Also, bamboo tends to shed a lot. The site I've linked below has a lot of good information about bamboo.

Clumping bamboo in MA will not be the same as clumping bamboo in FL :-) Even in my pretty mild climate, clumping bamboo is an extremely manageable plant and I see no reason not assume a similar well-behaved habit in colder zones.
From a regional bamboo specialty nursery:
Overview of Clumping Bamboo
Clumping bamboo are defined as having a non-invasive rhizome structure (known as pachymorph rhizome) which differs from the better known �and sometimes feared�running bamboo (leptomorph rhizome). Clumpers form a tight cluster of gently arching culms extending from a relatively small root mass. Each underground bud pushes upward forming culms, and do not become long running rhizomes. Instead, clumping bamboos grow outward in a circular formation at a modest pace of 2 to 12 inches per year. Canopy growth is also relatively slow, usually gaining a couple feet of height and width annually. Height range at maturity is between 10 and 20 feet for most species. There are some exceptions; tropical and subtropical species can reach 50 feet or more in the US, given hot, southern climates.
We have a special affection for hardy clumping bamboos. We believe these plants will help overcome popular fears about bamboo, and pave the way to its acceptance as a significant addition to the landscape as well as its incorporation into our culture. Bamboo Garden is on the forefront of introducing new and exciting species of clumping bamboo into the United States and promoting their multitude of uses. Though many are new to cultivation, clumping bamboo are gaining recognition for their landscape value as low maintenance alternatives to the larger, more vigorous, running bamboos. Fargesia sp. �Rufa�, with plumes of feather-like foliage, provide a wonderful accent to the small urban garden. Larger species, such as F. robusta, create dense evergreen privacy screens to over 15 feet. The gracefully weeping culms of Borinda angustissima and F. sp. �Jiuzhaigou� support masses of tiny leaves with a delicate, airy texture. Outer culms can be topped to make the plant more compact and upright. New introduction, F. sp. �Scabrida�, has outstanding colors: purple culms outlined by rusty-red culm sheaths contrasting with dark green leaves. Some species, such as F. nitida, are among the most cold hardy bamboo, surviving temperatures as low as negative 20� Fahrenheit.
Most thrive in a partial shade environment, but there is enough variety to find a suitable clumping bamboo for just about any need. Our selection have special significance and unique qualities for the home garden or commercial landscape. We hope the pages of our website offer a new perspective of the possibilities and wonderful variety among clumping bamboo.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bamboo Gardens
Gardengal, re: the bamboo, it might be the regional difference or it might be that some of the clumps I've seen have been "let go" until they became unmanageable. I don't want to discourage anyone from liking or using bamboo. I'm just warning watch out, IN CASE it applies, though not sure it would here. Some of the clumping bamboos I've seen no light passes through. It's pitch black in there. I've even tried to cut some canes out of my neighbor's to build some things, but it's too much work. You can't even take the cane you want. You must take the most outside one and some of those are tough to yank out of the canopy. They're 50' tall, but the OP probably would use a shorter variety. Many variables here.
Biggest variable is going to be what survives. Given the cost of bamboo, I'd definitely ask in the Bamboo forum about people's experiences before getting in to this at all deep. Even the hardiest bamboo take a significant hit here when it gets cold, and those have the insulation benefit of being in the ground.

RECIPE: Frisch's Big Boy Sauce
Anyone know the recipe for the sauce that they use on Frisch's Big boy hamburgers(there are some in Ohio). I LOVE that stuff, and would love the recipe!
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but it sure sounds good!
Frisch's Big Boy Sauce
The sauce for Big Boy Hamburgers is a Tartar Sauce that is also used on fish sandwiches at Frisch's Big Boy in Cincinnati, Ohio.
2 cups mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons horseradish
2 tablespoons minced onion, scallions, or shallots
2 tablespoons minced red or green pepper, sweet or hot
1/4 cup minced dill pickle/gherkins/capers
1 clove garlic, minced
2 hard cooked eggs, yolks mashed, whites chopped
1 dash Tabasco Sauce
1/3 cup catsup
I know that the Kroger stores in Cincinnati carry Frisch's Big Boy sauce in a Jar. When we visit Cincinnati we always bring a jar or two home with us. The cost is under $3.00. Maybe you can get a friend or relative to send you a jar or call a store. We also bring home cans of Cincinnati Chili too.
Just to clarify.... I grew up in the Detroit area, home of Elias Bros. Big Boy Restaurants. It was my favorite hangout, back in the days when it was a Drive-In type restaruant. Throughout Michigan the Big Boy Hamburger uses a 1000 Island type sauce and on the Slim Jims and Fish Sandwich the sause is a tarter sauce.
In Ohio the Frisch's Big Boy uses the tarter sauce on there burgers and the 1000 Island sauce on their Slim Jims. When I lived in Ohio, I had to order the Big Boy with the sauce they usually put on a Slim Jim in order to have it seem right to me.
Glad I moved back to Michigan! Funny how how you have it first is the way it seems like it should be.
BTW, I made the recipe that Chase posted and it is pretty darned good. I made my burger just like a Big Boy. I've just never been able to figure out what kind of Mayo they use, that's they only way I know that one could get the exact same flavor..
I have figured out that the tarter sauce uses a dill sweet relish...... I think!
This is an interesting thread. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, CA and ate frequently at the original Bob's Big Boy in Burbank. I knew there were other "Big Boys" out there, so I was intrigued by the references to Elias & Frisch. Anyhow, I looked up the history and read the following article.
My big question: What is a Slim Jim? It sounds like some sort of sandwhich, but the only Slim Jim I've ever encountered here in CA is a long, thin, peppperoni-like snack food.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bob's Big Boy Restaurants
Shambo, I made my version of a "Slim Jim Sandwich" ala Big Boys last night. It a favorite also and has been on the menu of all the Big Boy Restaurants I have ever visited.
For each sandwich you need:
Bratwurst Bun or Hoagie type Roll
Sliced Ham (I usually get Tavern Ham sliced med. from the deli)
Swiss Cheese
Sliced tomato
Tarter Sauce
Grill the cut side of the buns (I spread with a little butter) do this in a large frying pan unless you have a panini type of grill. Remove to a plate. Place sliced swiss cheese on the bottom side of the bun. Spread top side of bun with tarter sauce and add a layer of lettuce, then tomato slices.
Lightly fry the ham in the same pan and place on top of the swiss cheese. Flip the bottom onto the top to make a sandwich with the bottom of the bun facing up. Place the sandwich (with top down) back into the frying pan. Weigh down the sandwich with another heavy pan (in the restaurants they use a heavy bacon press and this pressing is where they get the name, the sandwich starts out puffy and ends up slim). Grill for a couple of minutes them flip right side up, weigh down again and continue grilling until the bottom is browned a little and the swiss cheese is melted. I like to have the pan just on med. heat for this so that it doesn't brown to fast, it's best when the swiss cheese has time to fully melt and I love any swiss that might melt out of the bun and fry a little.
Frisch's Tartar Sauce
1 quart mayonaise (not miracle whip)
3 Tbs grated onion
6 Tbs dill relish, completly drained
Take mayo out of jar put in bowl add
other ingredients mix together and put back in jar
Let sit in refrig. for flavors to blend at least 4 hours
You'll be surprised that it tastes exactly like Ohio Frisch's tartar sauce, only better!
I just got this recipe last week from a friend. It's supposed to taste just like a Big Boy! Haven't tried it yet because I'm in TN and don't have the sauce.
 1 (one) BOBOLI Pizza Dough
 1/2 Jar (16 oz.) of FrischÂs Tartar Sauce
 About 20 Dill Pickles Chips (cover the entire top)
 1 pound Ground Beef or Ground Chuck (Browned & Drained)
 1/2 Bag Shredded Letuce
 1/2 Bag Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
 DIRECTIONS: Assemble in the above order on a round baking sheet and bake (YES, BAKE!) in an oven at 350-degrees for 20 minutes.
