Dividing hostas in the fall?
Anything special i need to do if i want to divide my hostas in a couple weeks or later in the fall?
I imagine they're more suceptible to frost heave. Any fungal problems?
My problem with spring division is two fold.
1 I forget to do it until they are completely leafed out. Darn day job.
2 My plants end up crescent shaped for the rest of the year. Perhaps that will be less pronounced with division now
There seems to be a different theory about when to divide and conquer!I think it all boils down to how bad your winters get.I think in Z-6 you can move them when ever is convenient for you. I live in Z-3 and I won't move anything until the ground thaws in the spring.In the fall the roots don't have time to get established in the new garden area,so happy gardening!
When you divide you probably will leave some soil on the roots. Then your dividing is not different than buying a potted plant on sale right now and planting it while spreading out its roots. I have done that even until the end of September and had not lost any plants over the winter in my zone 5a. The ground will not freeze until December permitting roots to grow though the leaves are zapped.
heave is the big issue....
but it all depends how you define divide ...
it would be a fools errand to divide to single divisions .... as you would find.. in our zone.. them all out of the ground in spring.. heaved right out ...
most likely irrelevant in warmer zones ..
if you are going to cut a big clump in half... and each will weigh a few pounds ... then they arent going to heave ... ALL THE WAY out ...
if you find rocks heaved out of the soil in spring.. you know about how big they are .... so just make your clump a little heavier ... i guess that presume you have soil with rocks in it..
i am not sure that last post is correct.. as there is sap in the roots .. and if you sever them.. i dont see why you might not transfer the goo between plants ...
i am not aware of any studies in this regard ... just going on gut reaction ...
Ken, check Dr. Lockhart's latest research on the AHS website. It's been mentioned several times on the forum since the convention in June when Dr. Lockhart presented his findings.
Though not specifically tested, he reported that he had a 0% transmission rate for attempts made after flowering.
According to the highlights I read of a recent address by the doctor that researched HVX, the virus was less likely to spread later in season as the plant was approaching dormancy. Also, he found that HVX wasn't spread by a contaminated knife when dividing crowns- a truly head scratching bit of info there. Seems like a lot more research needs to be done.
well i didnt go to the convention.. go figure on that ...
though your key words are: Though not specifically tested
lets put it this way .... i will let you all experiment.. and in a few years.. i will try to recall if you are having problems ...
Now is a great time to divide hostas. If you are removing pie shaped wedges you will have a crescent shaped plant so divide in halves. I never have a problem with any winter heaving here in Zone 5a and I plant clumps and singles as late as the end of September. The roots have time to grow and that is what they are working on now.
Because so much is still unknown about HVX it is best to just take extra precautions regardless of who says what. Not much is very definitive on the subject yet so just get yourself into good habits now regardless of what time of the year it is. Things I used to do, I no longer do even if I end up with some ragged looking leaves and a bunch of bare half dead scapes.
I have been dividing all week. Today I dug up a big Montana Aereomarginata, split it into 4 big chunks, put them in pots, for dividing into multiple smaller pieces next fall, to sell in a garage sale the following spring (2012).That is if I don't give them all away to friends, first. Hostas I divided into single eye divisions in early July have roots showing out of the bottom of 1 gallon pots already. Monday I divided up several Gold standard I have around a gazebo to make a larger drift of hostas around it. They are many single eye plants. When the ground freezes I will cover them with shredded pine bark mulch for the winter to avoid heaving. One reason I like drifts of the same hosta ,other than it looks fantastic, is if one or two don't make it , it still looks great. Now is also a great time to move them around your garden. Hostas are FUN!
I divide in the spring and fall. In the fall, I try to leave as much soil on as possible and I replant an inch or two deeper or I mulch. I will divide until about four weeks before a hard frost. That means that I have maybe one month left.
I've never had fungal or HVX problems.
Hi there-
I find this time of year- warm-ish days and cool evenings to be the BEST time to divide my hosta.
I tend to do many of all sizes in preparation for a spring sale. I like this time of year to do this as I can see where the hosta are at this time of year instead of searching wet soil and leaves for tiny eyes, and the next seasons plants look great! My spring and summer divided plants too, seem to show signs of disfigurement until they have a winter to "compose" themselves.
When I am able to- on medium to small clumps, I do tend to remove the dirt to preserve as much root as possible. I will lift the clump- separate and actually place back in the hole at the same depth I lifted them from and mark well. Cover with soil and water. Next early spring- I can usually lift with my fingers and pot up individual plants while still very tight eyes.
I will try to do this with the HUGE clumps as well- although I will lift them and let them dry out a few days before dividing. Don't gasp- Remember the "Driveway Rule" of hosta care. The roots will shrink a bit making it so much easier to separate the large clump into smaller sections WITH great intact roots. Just be sure to water well a couple of times on warmer days before winter freeze.
I have well draining sandy soil which may make all the difference in allowing me to do this to my hosta late in the season for Z4- and not show winter rot- heaving or any setback to the plants.
When I have planted Hosta eyes below the surface of the ground- Or have heavily mulched I usually for get to lift again or remove the excess mulch which result in "lost" hosta that reappear as one eyes next year or two. I dug one up this year that had been "lost " for 2 years. Black Hills planted as a nice one eye got burried alive as it seems. It set up a stolen to the surface which grew roots and eyes. So this plant had 2 sets of roots- one clump much lower in the ground with roots and stolen- and one nearer the surface which grew leaves and roots.
Many bulbs will do this- but they will actually "pull" themselves up when planted too deeply. But who knew hosta would try that trick!
Lucky for us these plants really want to make more of themselves!

Beer League (2006)
86 min – Comedy | Sport – 15 September 2006 (USA)
An unemployed slacker (Lange) inspires his softball teammates to improve their game so they won't get kicked out of the local league.
Beer, broads and baseball: a group of misfits whose weekly softball games seem to have a lot more to do with getting into fights for macho dominance than hitting home runs. Artie is an unemployed and unmotivated drunk that is predictably still living with his mother. He is on a losing softball team, and he and his teammates are facing the end of softball as they know it if they can't pull it together.
Stars: Artie Lange, Ralph Macchio, Anthony DeSando

As I predicted, I lost a considerable portion of my life this weekend wading through classic Nurse's Ball videos (and while I wouldn't consider last year's ball a "classic", I did spend a tremendous amount of time watching Brenda throw a dinner roll at Carly. As I have said many times in the past, my standards for entertainment are incredibly low, which makes daytime's failure to entertain me quite concerning) and purchasing Greek yogurt (FUN FACT: the cashier at Stop and Shop commented on the quantity of Greek yogurt and English muffins I was buying, which wasn't actually that many, but apparently enough to raise an eyebrow. In my defense, the limited edition cinnamon vanilla English muffins are amazing and it was worth the heaps of scorn I brought on myself. Go buy a package. I'll wait.). I did not, however, recap General Hospital. I thought about General Hospital, clearly, and I even talked about it a lot (and not just sending swoony "Remember Robin?!" texts as I finished watching clips. Like, I texted about modern day General Hospital. It was mostly complaining about the grade school love triangle, but still, it happened), but writing did not happen. Can I make it up to you with a recap?
Toast yourself an English muffin (or grab a spoon and a container of yogurt)* and away we go!

***Best idea ever.
We open on butts--the male butts of Magic Milo and the Magic Wands that ended Friday's show. Epiphany is in her glory, cat-calling the handsome men of Port Charles ("Lose those drawers!"). Olivia looks uncomfortable, ostensibly because she is still reeling from the disturbing and, I guess, heartbreaking news that Sonny cheated on her, but she could also be upset by Michael's inclusion in this performance--he looks 14! It's just weird. Over her shoulder, from another table, Sonny just watches her and he looks more like a villain in a slasher movie than he ever has.
While Lucy babbles about Richard Simmons, Olivia gets up and Sonny immediately follows her. Like, he's in her personal space at the speed of light. "Olivia, can you talk to me?" "No, you are gross". "I know you're angry, but isn't this a little much? If you don't take me back, kiss ever having a storyline again goodbye". He says he needs to talk to her and they should go somewhere else, and I am reminded of Jack Donaghy warning Liz Lemon never to go with a hippie to a second location. I am not exactly sure what Sonny's end game is here--is he planning to just whine until Olivia forgives him/his eye is caught by another attractive woman and he realizes he doesn't need her? He asks her for another chance and petulantly ends with "Can you do that?". It's douchey.
Lulu and Maxie hug.
Brad is horrified by Lucas and Felix stripping together and asks Britt, who looks like an eight foot tall glamazon, if the night could get any worse. IRONY BECAUSE IT CAN AND WILL!
Like, in a matter of seconds. Nik and Spencer arrive and immediately run into Liz, Ric, Cam, and Emma.
The "Whose Life Is Sadder?" competition Britt and Brad are embroiled in continues and Britt urges Brad to do something about it. With a swig of liquid courage, he goes to do just that.
Lucy sprints onstage to introduce a special surprise--one of Port Charles's favorite sons, on the road to stardom, stint in jail...Blackie Parrish. I will admit to having a moment, or several, of absolute terror at that introduction. Since it pretty clearly wasn't going to be John Stamos (more's the pity! The world needs more John Stamos. I feel that, since I am among friends, I can share that I had a big crush on him before I knew what a crush even was. I was in, like, kindergarten and I used to turn on VH1 in hopes that the Kokomo video would be on and I could catch a glimpse of him playing the drums. Even the mullet didn't bother me. I won't go so far as to say that I liked it, but I guess I took my Stamos however I could get it. I can still picture that pink tank top he wore whenever I hear "Kokomo", which is very rarely, but still. I eventually moved on to Christian Bale and ended my elementary school career hopelessly in love with Tim Daly. I was a little weirdo), I worried that it would just be some rando extra with a black wig or, more horrifyingly, Ronn Moss as a recast Blackie which would be so much of a CAN NOT moment that I'd probably spontaneously develop asthma and need an inhaler. It was quite the relief when Lucy said something about a scheduling conflict and ran around semi-hysterically trying to fix her show.

With CVS Caremark's announcement yesterday that they will no longer sell tobacco products, including cigarettes, at all CVS/pharmacy locations, the company took a bold step. This, I'm proud to say, is a great moment in the fight against tobacco.
Spoof or not, e-cigarettes are no laughing matter. Neither are their largely unknown health consequences.
Rather than hiding, CVS publicly stood up and declared its decision for the world to see. The company should be respected for being transparent. Whether or not they will be rewarded for the decision remains to be seen.
My cousin won't get the chance to tell his story but the U.S. Department of Justice, Kids Free Action Fund and the four major tobacco companies have the opportunity to make sure his message is heard.
Without stronger laws to protect people, the door is left wide open for the tobacco industry to take advantage. Cigarette manufacturers have bought companies that make e-cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco products to grow their empire, increase profits and maintain power over our youth.
Distrusted, disengaged, lonely -- it is what you would expect from a society increasingly going it alone.
As Phillip Morris said in their Virginia Slims ad, attempting to attract female smokers by tapping into the women's liberation movement, "You've come a long way, baby." But the truth is tobacco remains a formidable problem, baby.
The emergence of wearable sensors and digital tools that measure heart rate or the number of steps taken provides one part of the solution -- but not always enough to deliver the change required.
The electronic cigarette has been on the scene for only a couple of years, but its proponents are already creating a vibrant culture of their own. The...
So with what we know today, we could have saved Mr. Disney, and many of the other celebrities. More importantly, you can save your own life by recognizing the problem of smoking addiction and committing yourself to improvement.
Given the conclusive evidence that smoking imagery portrayed across entertainment media impacts youth and young adult smoking initiation, positive portrayals of tobacco use threaten to reverse the critical progress the U.S. has made over the past five decades in reducing smoking.
The AMA recognizes the need to tackle some of today's most troubling chronic health conditions -- cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2 -- to which smoking can be linked.
Still the most feared of all diseases, cancer now has some good news. But the responsibility is yours to make sure you are one of the good statistics, not one of the bad ones.
As we consider and celebrate these victories, we must also remember how far we have to go. Today, while the rate of smoking has dropped, it remains the leading cause of preventable death, claiming the lives of 440,000 Americans each year.
The clearest way to reduce smoking risks with vaping is to stop smoking. If needed, trying different vaping products can help smokers identify which are most helpful in getting them to end smoking. For cigarettes, no matter the method -- best to cut out, not just cut down.
LGBT people smoke cigarettes at rates that are 68 percent higher than the general population; that means smoking affects more of us than any other single health problem. Luckily there is a cure for smoking, and even minutes after you stop your health starts to improve.

S. speciosa in hydroculture
I just posted pix in my shiny new(ish) Photobucket album. I have two grocery store specisosas growing in hydroton, and they're thriving! What you can't see is that the smaller of the two is loaded with buds; you bet I'll post more pix when it blooms!!
Here is a link that might be useful:
Hi Irina. Have I mentioned lately how gorgeous your Streps are? Well, they are.
I took my tubers out of their pots and washed them well, removing most of the roots in the process. I figured, being tubers they could deal. Oh, and anything green on top came off as well, as it would just die anyway while the plant recovered from the shock.
Hey, quick question; Sinningias -- acid, neutral, or alkaline?
Well, this is good, since I've been giving them 7.0 water. They haven't objected, but you never know, they could suddenly explode all their leaves or something.
I have to say, my S. speciosas weren't too happy with me when they were in soil; they were always either too wet or too dry -- now I just refill the saucer when it gets dry.
Gotta go catch a bus.

I would be visiting Garmisch Partenkirchen with my Wife and daughter (2 years old) in couple of days.
My trip schedule is for 2 half days and 1 complete day
Day 1 (Half Day): Visit Fusion, Neuschwanstein castle. My interest is to see the castle just from outside since I feel that there would not be enough of time left that day
Day 2 (Complete Day) : Complete day trip to Zugspitze. How long it takes for go up to Zugspitze and back to Garmisch Partenkirchen? Though I am very much interested to visit Alpspitze and Partnach Gorge as well, but I don't think I would have enough of time to visit at least 2 of them in a single day. If I were to choose one between Zugspitze, Alpspitze and Partnach Gorge, which one would be most memorable and scenic among them?
Day 3 (Half day) : Would drive to Innsbruck (or Wattens). Spend half a day in Innsbruck.
I have heard that it is a beautiful town but not aware what to visit in Innsbruck
Requesting your suggestions for a better experience of the Garmish Alps. I don;t mind if this would requires canceling the visits to Neuschwanstein castle and Innsbruck.

Are you heading somewhere after your stay in Garmisch via Innsbruck? If not, I'd skip Innsbruck. If your interest in Wattens is Swarovski, I'd skip this too. Big dissappointment for us.
If your interest is to view Neuschwanstein, go for it. It's not that far. If Neuschwanstein is crowded, there's a chance you could get a tour of Hohenschwangau castle ("next door" so to speak), where Ludwig spent his early years. I found this tour much less crowded and more informative of Ludwig's family and early life.
If interested, "Mad" King Ludwig's Linderhof palace is closer to Garmisch and the interior more elaborate.
We went to the top of the Zugspitze. Well worth the cost. We spent about 2 hours at the top. We did it from Ehrwald, Austria, so I'm not familiar with time frame from Garmisch.

Hi Paul
thanks for this information. Reading your experience, I plan to skip Innsburk and Wattens trip. I would be directly heading to Garmish Zugpitze.
The second day - Since i would not be going to Innsburk and wattens, I plan to visit stubaier glacier (i still have to choose between Stubaier Glacier and Partnach Gorge)
The third day - I would visit Neuschwanstein castel and depending upon the crowd, would try Hohenschwangau castle.
I would be starting my trip tomorrow, so this plans is almost frozen . Just hoping that i see some snow caps over Zugpitze mountains or atleast in Stubaier Glacier.

If you want snow you are more likely to find it at Stubai (permanent glacier). But I suggest to look at the weather; if the weather is good high mountains (Stubai or Zugspitze) are attractive, but if the weather is not good better stick to cities, and Innsbruck IMHO is not as bad as it was described. Wattens is a loss of time anyway.
Report Abuse
thanks asps, now it gives me more of an interest to visit stubai
Report Abuse
Actually, there is no longer year-round snow cover at Zugspitze, so you probably won't see any snow. Or, at most, a few patches.
That's one of the effects of global climate change, and one reason I discourage folks from driving in this beautiful area. Scientists have said that in 30 years, all of the glaciers in Bavaria will be gone.

Abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, no appetite?
For about 2 months now, I have been having severe abdominal pain that occurs usually a few minutes after I eat anything. It feels like a very sharp pain, which gradually goes away and then feels like menstrual cramps. I've also been having diarrhea for the past 2 months. I go maybe about 7 times a day and they are very loose stools. There's no blood that I can see. And within the last week or so, I've just started to feel pain in my upper right side, slightly below my ribs. I've lost about 8 pounds and haven't been able to eat for the last couple of days. Could anybody help me on what this could be?
Answer by Jen
It could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome or something similar to that. I would go to the doctor and he can refer you to a gastrointestenal doctor to run some tests.

A brilliant collection of motifs and ideas which are perfect for crafters looking for images which encapsulate traditional images of fairyland.
On offer are seasonal fairies, trolls & ogres, pixies, animal fairies, manga fairies, floral fairies, sprites and elves, party fairies to name but a few.
There are loads of ideas which people can copy or use as a basis for their own concepts. Easily traceable, the motifs are clearly drawn and can be used in as much or as little detail as you want.
Also included is an illustrated guide to using the motifs in a variety of ways on cards, gifts, needlework, ceramic plates and glassware.
Some of the ideas are quite unusual such as the technique of reversing out which can be done by hand or by computer. This is a book which will make a wonderful present for anyone keen on drawing or craftwork.
Inventive, imaginative and creative; it is not to be missed.

Not too far away, Southern Vermont is nonetheless a world apart. Its small towns offer easy access to skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. On the other hand, sitting by a fire, eating freshly baked muffins may be all the entertainment you want.
But don't spend the whole day eating. Get over to Adams Farm, a working sixth-generation farm. As long as there's snow on the ground, you can take a sleigh ride, but there's plenty to do after the snow melts. The Indoor Livestock Barn is open through mid-June; kids have a chance to meet goats and gather eggs. Once the warmer weather arrives, there are pony rides and wagon rides. Harlow's Sugar House starts boiling sap on weekends in March, the 'sugaring' season, and allows visitors to watch. The smell is intoxicating! In summer, you can pick blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, and in the fall, you can pick apples and watch the cider mill press.
The Bennington Museum includes the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse, which has an interactive family center. Kids can dress up, make a Grandma Moses painting, host a tea party, and play in a 19th-century schoolhouse and a country store. After learning about Grandma Moses, they might want to see her actual folk art, which is displayed in the museum. There is also a nature trail where you are welcome to picnic. Learn more about the region's iconic covered bridges at the Vermont Covered Bridge Museum. You can build and test your own bridges on one computer, and on another, you can plan a trip to tour the five covered bridges nearby. The museum also has a working model railroad that travels through railroad bridges. At Historic Park-McCullough, a doghouse has been remade into a playhouse, complete with miniature furniture. The Carriage Barn features horse-drawn carriages, buggies, sleighs and fire-fighting equipment.
Where to Stay: Many of the adorable B & Bs that dot the small towns forbid kids, or only take those who are 8 and up. At The Snow Goose Inn, in West Dover, "well-behaved children and pets are welcome and kids under 5 are free." I'm not sure what it says about them, though, that a child between ages 5 and 17, or a dog, costs an extra $25 a night. www.snowgooseinn.com.Where to Eat: The Maple Leaf Malt & Brewing Co., in Wilmington, has a variety of fresh beer made on site, but also a good selection of family-friendly food. 802-464-9900. Have breakfast or lunch at Izabella's Eatery in Bennington. The café touts fresh, local and seasonal organic ingredients. www.izabellaseatery.com.For More Info:• Adams Farm, Wilmington. The indoor livestock barn is open Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm. $6.95, $5.95 ages 2-12, free under 2. www.adamsfamilyfarm.com.• Harlow's Sugar House, Putney. www.vermontsugar.com.• Bennington Museum is open Thursday-Tuesday, 10am-5pm. $9, $8 students/seniors, free under 18. www.benningtonmuseum.org.• Vermont Covered Bridge Museum is part of the Bennington Center for the Arts.

Major League Baseball to investigate Randy Levine for tampering as a result of Mike Trout comment
Dec 13, 2013, 4:58 PM EDT
This seems pretty dumb: Major League Baseball plans to investigate Yankees president Randy Levine's comments about Mike Trout today to see if they constitute tampering.
In case you missed it, Levine said this earlier today when asked about why the Yankees were unwilling to give Robinson Cano a ten-year contract:
"If Mike Trout was here, I would recommend a 10-year contract. But for people over 30, I don't believe it makes sense. I don't think Hal thinks it makes sense. We were very clear about that."
I know you're not supposed to talk about other teams' players, but this seems like a pretty big overreaction to an off-the-cuff comment. Levine was obviously not trying to signal to Trout and his agents that, hey, if you can only hold out four more years or so, the Yankees will hook you up! He was making up some hypothetical about a young star, and like a lot of people, Mike Trout is the first young star that came to mind.
But I suppose rules are rules. And, of course, no man can say that Major League Baseball does not pursue its investigations with great zeal.
- uscthom78 - Dec 14, 2013 at 12:57 PM
Yankees and tampering? That's old news.
- theskinsman - Dec 14, 2013 at 2:56 PM
Nail him! I won't hold my breath.
- eatitfanboy - Dec 14, 2013 at 3:18 PM
That's really stupid. He was making a point about the type of player that would warrant a 10 year contract. I'm quite certain this is not what the tampering rule is meant to deal with.
- yahmule - Dec 14, 2013 at 8:53 PM
Why have rules if people are going to get all squeamish about enforcing them? This man knows damn well he shouldn't be discussing another team's players – especially in the context of what kind of contract he pay him – so what the hell was he doing? He could have easily made the his point in generic terms.
I hope they lean Draconian to set an example.
- mazblast - Dec 14, 2013 at 11:53 PM
Randy Levine should be fired by the Yankees or at least muzzled, but this is thin stuff.
What is his exact function, again? What is it that a team "President" does?
- desal2ds - Dec 15, 2013 at 8:13 AM
Randy Levine is such a tool. I'm a Yankee fan and despise that incompetent fool
- jamesweltyms - Dec 25, 2013 at 10:01 PM
A consensus building here (http://the-mike-trout-sign-o-meter.com/) is that Trout will sign with the Yankees for 10 years and $320MM+. The Angels will find a way to not sign him.

The monolithic structures might merely look like a thing of beauty if you go around Mamallapuram without much knowledge of its history. But a well-informed tour guide can tell you what went into the creation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In an attempt to teach history and etiquette to those interested in making a career in tourism and to create quality jobs for people from villages, the Department of Tourism proposes to conduct a tour-guide training programme shortly. The programme will familiarise the participants with details of places of tourist interest across the State, Tourism Commissioner A.C.Mohan Das said. "We conducted a similar programme two years ago. It was a major hit, with nearly 300 people learning the art of storytelling to impress tourists," he said.
The applications for this year's programme will be scrutinised based on the candidates' qualification and aptitude in understanding history. "The popularity of the training programme is high among people of various age groups. We had retired government employees taking up the programme last time," he added.
Referring to the training imparted to 20 guides, who have been recruited on a contract basis for the Hop-on Hop-off tour, he said such training would improve not only the knowledge but also the confidence level of the participants. At the end of the two-month training programme, the participants will be given licences as tour guides. "A government-issued license can offer a lot of job opportunities for the unemployed," Mr. Das said.
Tour guides with a good knowledge of foreign languages, especially Spanish, French and German are more in demand in the State. "The freelance guides are in good demand when we organise package tours. The training programme would also help freelance guides. There are experienced guides who are earning as much as Rs.45,000 a month."
The residential programme will also feature classes on etiquette, communication skills, Indian culture and history. The Tourist Guides Federation of South India secretary Sudhakar S. Selwyn observed that only 10 per cent of the participants of such training programmes opt to become full time tour guides as there is intense competition in the field. "The main attraction of the programme is the issue of license. Many rural youngsters who have aspirations of becoming tourist guides undergo such trainings but fail to make an impact in the tourism industry."

Wow – Ron Paul on Chris Kyle's death – 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.'
This really surprises me from Ron Paul. He follows the constitution, unlike 99.9% of current US politicians. But his statement about Chris Kyle's death of 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword' is as disgusting as it is surprising. Ron Paul isn't some hippie liberal who's never served his country in the military, Paul served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force from 1963 to 1965 and then in the United States Air National Guard from 1965 to 1968.

Arlington man surrenders to police after barricading himself in his home
A southwest Arlington man surrendered to police at about noon Saturday after barricading himself in his home for about three hours.
Police responded to the home in the 5900 block of Melstone Drive, near Lake Arlington, at about 9 a.m. after receiving a 911 call from the man's wife, who had escaped the home, Sgt. Jeffrey Houston, a police spokesman, said in an email.
No injuries were reported. The man was taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation after surrendering to officers, Houston said.

No. 2 San Jose vs. No. 3 Detroit
(Series ties 3-3)
Game 1: Sharks 2, Red Wings 1 (OT)

Game 3: Sharks 4, Red Wings 3
Game 4: Red Wings 4, Sharks 3
Game 5: Red Wings 4, Sharks 3
Game 6: Red Wings 3, Sharks 1
Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula scored less than two minutes apart in the third period to lead the Red Wings to yet another come from behind victory and force a decisive Game 7 in a series that looked all but over after San Jose took the first three games. After failing to put the puck into the back of the net for more that 50 minutes of ice time, Zetterberg finally broke through with the tying tally with 9 minutes 22 seconds left and Filppula gave the Red Wings their first lead at 7:28. Darren Helm added an empty netter to seal a furious rally for the home team in a raucus Joe Louis Arena. It was the second straight game in which Detroit rallied from a deep deficit with a late surge — the Red Wings trailed 3-1 in Game 5 in San Jose before scoring the final three goals of the contest to avoid elimination. Detroit outshot San Jose 45-25 on the night and 32-13 over the final two periods. The Red Wings are the second team to rally from a 3-0 series deficit to force a seventh game this season — Chicago did it against Vancouver — and will try to become just the fourth team to win a series after trailing 3-0 on Thursday in San Jose.
Quote of the night: "They lost three in a row and their confidence didn't suffer. Ours won't suffer, either. You work 82 games to get home ice for Game 7. Now, we've just got to make it work." — Sharks captain Joe Thornton on blowing a 3-0 series lead

Little Rock, AR -- Many inspectors are now in the field verifying damages to homes and businesses caused by the ice storms that began Dec. 12.
Disaster recovery officials advise applicants to ask for identification from anyone saying they are damage inspectors. All inspectors carry official photo identification. If an inspector is not wearing an identification card or badge, ask to see it.
Individuals who have applied for disaster assistance can expect to hear from several different inspectors within the coming weeks.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) inspectors generally will schedule an inspection within a week to 10 days to review damaged property and obtain more information about losses. The American Red Cross also may send inspectors to meet with disaster victims, and local building and safety inspectors may come to see if damaged structures are safe. The U.S. Small Business Administration will send loss verifiers to inspect damaged property of those who have submitted disaster loan applications.
If an inspector asking for access to your home cannot show you a photo ID, call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
The Presidential declaration makes available a wide range of federal disaster assistance programs. Financial assistance for those temporarily displaced by the ice storms could include low-interest loans to repair and replace real or personal property and grants to help meet essential disaster-related needs not covered by other assistance programs.
Individuals and business owners who believe they have suffered losses in the ice storms are urged to call FEMA's toll-free registration line at 800-462-9029 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. every day. The registration number for speech- and hearing-impaired individuals is 800-462-7585 (TTY).

"Rice an Unlikely Global Warming Culprit"
"Asian rice farmers typically do not fly around the world on holidays or own big-engine cars but scientists say they have an important role to play in helping cut the world's output of greenhouse gases."
Jump to navigation
"Asian rice farmers typically do not fly around the world on holidays or own big-engine cars but scientists say they have an important role to play in helping cut the world's output of greenhouse gases."
"The largest and most important U.N. climate change conference in history opened Monday, with organizers warning diplomats from 192 nations that this could be the best, last chance for a deal to protect the world from calamitous global warming."
"Germany's top climate researcher says he hopes he and his fellow scientists around the world have got it all wrong about global warming. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, head of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, told Reuters he gets no pleasure at all in being a prophet of doom and hopes he and his colleagues have overlooked effects that could still arrest climate change."
"The release of toxics once bound within glaciers may be a little-anticipated consequence of climate change. Adverse effects are likely occurring, or could occur, on almost every continent."
Sandstorms reminiscent of the 1930s dustbowl are becoming more common in Navajo country -- and climate change seems to be a culprit.
"Two environmental groups petitioned U.S. EPA today to set national limits for greenhouse gases using the Clean Air Act."
"The heads of the world's largest international financial institutions today called for a comprehensive agreement to combat climate change at this month's United Nations conference in Copenhagen and agreed to further coordinate their own efforts to help achieve the meeting's ambitious goals."
Non-profit media, online media, freelancers, student journalists, and even some mainstream media are having trouble getting credentials to cover the climate treaty talks in Copenhagen Dec. 7-18, 2009. While one root of the problem may be capacity of the building, a key issue is whether non-profits, bloggers, and freelancers are truly legitimate media.
"If the evidence is overwhelming that man-made climate change is already upon us and set to wreak planetary havoc, why do so many people refuse to believe it?" Psychologists say denial of reality is a common human reaction to unpleasant truth.
"Most world leaders plan to attend a climate summit in Copenhagen this month, boosting chances that a new U.N. deal to fight climate change will be reached, host Denmark said on Tuesday."

The Rut Ultramarathon: One Foot in front of the other
Imagine running a marathon that takes you up, around, and over the top of scree-encrusted Lone Peak, gaining and losing approximately 10,000 feet in elevation. Now tack on about 5 more miles. That in a nutshell is The Rut 50K-an ultra-marathon on the brink of becoming the biggest deal in Sky Running in the United States and, at least to some extent, the world.
To clarify, an ultra-race is any race longer than marathon length, or 26.2 miles. The shortest established ultrarace is 50 kilometers, or approximately 31 miles, but many ultra-marathons are 100 miles or more. Sky running, in its simplest definition, is running distance plus vertical, or long runs over mountainous terrain. The Rut, organized by The Runners Edge in Missoula, began in 2013 as the brainchild of race directors and international mountain runners, Mike Foote and Mike Wolfe. "The two Mikes" as they are known throughout the circuit, are both members of the North Face Ultra Running Team. Inspired by the steeper, more technical courses they've competed in throughout the European Alps, they wanted to bring that level of world-class racing to the U.S. and more specifically, to their Montana backyard.
On September 14, 2013, when the inaugural Rut 50K and 12K went off like a ski boot at 4:00am at Big Sky Resort, it got the attention of the International Skyrunning Federation. They chose The Rut 50K as the site of the 2014 Skyrunner World Series (SWS) Ultra Final. The SWS is a group of races taking place in the mountains of Spain, Italy, Switzerland, France, and now the United States. As race organizer Mike Foote explains, "You don't have to run all the races [in the SWS], but since The Rut 50K is the final, you get double the points, so most of the serious competitors will be here. We're expecting a bunch of international elite trail running athletes." One of those much anticipated athletes is Sky Runner Kilian Jornet, whom National Geographic named the 2014
People's Choice Adventurer of the Year.
"The course is one of the biggest draws of the event," says Foote. "The 50K is extremely technical. There's runnable
single track, but there's also lots of knife-edged ridgelines." The most attention-grabbing section takes runners up and over Lone Peak via Bone Crusher Ridge. The climb gains 2,000 feet in elevation in about a mile and a half of highly exposed terrain, to the iconic 11,166 ft. summit.
"It's just unbelievable up there," says Foote. "That part of the course is more than a race. It's an adventure."
The question The Rut asks us all, on some level, is do I have it in me? Do I have that kind of mental game? To put one foot in front of the other, over rocky, mountainous terrain, for 31 miles?

Big Sky Summer: Putt-putt, Brews, Wine, and Dumpstaphunk
In most cities there's a wide range of special events and activities, which often lead to debilitating decision-making. But in small towns like Big Sky the entire community comes out for almost every event.
One of the first events of the summer was the Big Sky Wide Open on Saturday, June 8. The third annual putt-putt tournament Ophir School fundraiser took place from shop to shop around Big Sky's Town Center the second Saturday in June. Raising funds for our public schools couldn't be more fun. With holes designed around snowboards, slack lines, movie theater cut-outs, taxidermy Grizzly Bears, and old skee ball machines each par was more unique than the next. If only we could raise school funds more than once a summer...
Another great summer event I'm excited for is Brewfest on July 12. Big Sky Resort's Brewfest is in its 9th year and promises to be the largest beer festival in Montana. My favorite part is being outside, enjoying great beers with friends, and the live music. Roadkill Ghost Choir, who played The Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year, will perform at Brewfest alongside Hollow Wood.
Although I spend my fair share of time fly fishing in solitude, I love the annual Big Sky Fly Fishing Festival on July 26-27 because it combines one of my favorite hobbies with my love of socializing. I'll spend two days tackling the difficulties of fly fishing while sharing in the camaraderie. This festival makes for a fantastic way to enjoy food from the Gallatin Riverhouse, watch fly fishing films at Lone Peak Cinema, and, of course, catch some fish.
New this summer is Vine and Dine Festival. If there's one thing I like it's food and wine and someone telling me how to pair that food and wine. In particular I'm looking forward to the Big Sky Mountain Village Stroll because I'll have the chance to try a wide variety of wines from dozens of vineyards (including Green and Red Vineyards in Chiles Valley) as well as socialize with friends and wine reps. I intend to ask a lot of questions to learn everything I can about the ins and outs of wine tasting. With only a handful of other tastings under my belt, I'm looking forward to increasing my knowledge of wine and finding new appreciation for the art of wine tasting. Vine and Dine Festival is August 14-17 at Big Sky Resort.
Big Moon Rising Music Festival replaces Spruce Moose this year with its debut over Labor Day Weekend (August 29-30). I have not had a chance to see any of this year's bands live before and I cannot wait for the funk of New Orleans' Dumpstaphunk. Check out "Gas Man" performed by Dumpstaphunk in San Francisco.
Lastly, The Rut. In only its second year, it is now the International Skyrunner Federation's World Series Final, The Rut Vertical K, 12K and 50K promises to be even more impressive than the last. National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Kilian Jornet will make an appearance, and is sure to set a fast pace, in this ultramarathon of ultramarathons. Running is not my sport of choice, but I plan to cheer each runner on, cowbell in hand, and enjoy the Saturday afternoon BBQ, beer in hand. The Rut is one of those events unlike anything I have ever seen. It's too simplistic to say that it is impressive, it's a feat of physical fortitude, but more than that it is a feat of human spirit.
These are just a few of my favorite summer events around Big Sky. More info on these and other events can be found at bigskyresort.com/events
Gift Ideas for the Outdoor Dad
Father's Day is that special time of year devoted to dads. The one thing I know about my dad is he loves Big Sky. As a Great Falls, Montana, resident, my dad finds his fair share of fishing on the Missouri, golfing at various courses in town, and biking the hills of the high plains, but he is beckoned by the rushing fishable waters of the Gallatin River, the views of the Big Sky area golf courses, and the cross-country mountain biking. Thus, I've created this list of Father's Day gifts my dad will love. Now how will I decide which one to give him?
Flies & Fishes- Nymphs for now, Salmon flies for July, and grasshoppers for August, I'm thinking about setting my dad up with a fly-fishing variety pack. With the world-class blue ribbon fly-fishing found on the Gallatin, I know he'll need extra flies all summer long.
Hike, Bike, BBQ- This is a gift my dad would love because it also means quality time together. Hike, Bike, BBQ at Big Sky Resort begins July 1 and goes through August 26. Eating delicious BBQ after hiking and biking around Lone Mountain is right up my dad's alley, and also appeals to me.
Firecracker Open or Big Sky Open- Golf is a passion, an obsession, and a little bit frustrating from time to time. However, golf is one of my dad's obsessions and he's already asked me about the summer tournaments at Big Sky Resort Golf Course. All the tournaments are listed online, but with a dad like mine I still had to send him a list via email ("The IT Department," as he calls me, has at least helped him move beyond snail mail). Since he is eager to participate I thought I would pay his entry fee in a tournament or buy him golf balls that include a free entry into a tournament.
The great thing about having two other siblings is that, when in doubt, we can all go in together for the best gift possible. Father's Day is June 15 so I still have a couple days to decide, but either way I hope to share some fun days on the river, in the mountains, and on the golf course with my dad this summer.

Montana Summer Lovin'
I have been a ski instructor at Big Sky Resort for eight seasons and guests always ask me "but what do you do in Big Sky during the summer?" My answer: "winter in Montana is wonderful but summers are something really special." Unlike summers in the east, summer sun in the west is warm on your skin and humidity is low. The average temperature in July is a comfortable 83 degrees making weather in Montana perfect for enjoying all kinds of outdoor activities. I certainly don't miss those hot, muggy summer days of the Midwest.
In the summer I love to hike nearby peaks that yield 360 degree vistas. Imagine snow-capped mountain peaks against a sapphire blue sky or high mountain lakes surrounded by a wide jagged cirque. Hiking is not for everyone. Many of my friends prefer exploring the area on horseback, and my husband enjoys mountain biking in the Porcupine Wilderness area or along the Gallatin River. The Gallatin River sits near Lone Mountain and is one of our favorite rivers in the country to fish. The movie "A River Runs Through It" was filmed on the Gallatin River near Castle Rock introducing Americans to fly-fishing and immediately increasing the popularity of our river. Skilled kayakers love the Gallatin's raging white water during spring run-off. It is fun to watch but I prefer a gentle raft trip down the Gallatin during the summer season when the water is much calmer.
A couple of times a week, I can be found golfing at Big Sky Resort. My favorite hole is nine because of the unique perspective of Lone Peak looming majestically in the distance. The view never ceases to impress me, and even though the views from every hole are spectacular this one in particular stops me in my golf-spiked tracks.
I also love summers in Big Sky as hibernation ends for human and animal alike. Maybe it is because the sun doesn't set until 10:30 at the peak of summer nights or because the sun provides us with our much missed Vitamin D.
Almost each Wednesday and Thursday of the summer I check out the Town Center Farmer's Market and Music in the Mountains, respectively. We take a bottle of wine to Music in the Mountains and enjoy the company of friends and free music as the sun sets over Lone Peak. I love coming to a place where I will see everyone I know.
It is a far better thing to spend summers in Montana than anywhere else. Where the biggest problem of Big Sky summers is there are too many things to do and not enough time to do them all. What a place to call home.
Spoiler Alert: Big Sky Golf Course, Amazing
I'm spoiled, best to embrace it than deny it. I moved to Big Sky May 2013 and immediately secured a condo off the 18th tee box of Big Sky Resort's Golf Course. Not only do I have the Biggest Skiing in America in my backyard, 7 miles to be exact, but an amazing public golf course right off my deck. Oh, I've played my share of business trip golf scrambles and about 2 years ago, I decided it was time to play my own ball for 18 holes.
The Big Sky Resort Golf Course is an Arnold Palmer designed, 18 hole, 72 par, course winding along the banks of the West Fork of the scenic Gallatin River. Yes, the same Gallatin River the movie, A River Runs Through It was filmed starring Brad Pitt and directed by Robert Redford (swoon). The spectacular views of Lone Peak and the rest of the Madison Range surround this golf course. It's hard to imagine back in the early 1900s cattle grazed where I'm about to tee off at 6,300 feet above sea level. Honestly, I can't help but think my driving game has improved; the ball just flies farther at elevation.
The first tee is right outside the Pro Shop and Bunker Bar and Grill and by the time you've sunk your putt on the first green, the Mountain-Meadow style course becomes a wildlife refuge. Golf is a game of patience and here it is also patience with the animals. By the second hole we kindly wait for a flock of Canadian Geese to move along the river's edge. Fowl and water hazards have to be taken into consideration on this hole.
As we play on, I have to remind my companions to watch my drive, as I'm trying to keep my head down and they are gazing at Lone Peak in their own daydreams. The PGA Head Professional for the golf course, Mark Wehrman, told me I needed keep my head down during my previous week's Ladies Tuesday Night golf clinic (which are an affordable, fun way to improve your game and meet other women who enjoy the sport, after all, it is Man-tana).
The long Montana days allow me to golf into the 9 o'clock hour coming back around to the Bunker to sit on the deck, surrounded by mountains, the sun just starting to go down, and finish off a perfect day with the best burger in town and an ice cold beer (it's worth passing by my condo). Did I mention I'm spoiled?

Ofer Shmucher during one of darkest periods of my life. Ofer instilled confidence I would prevail over to a brighter future.
From the initial phone call Ofer's optimism, enthusiasm & guidance with a feasible solution changed my perspective. He clearly explained my options and recommended the best possible solution.
Personalized service combined with his sincere concern for my well being was continuous demonstrated throughout the entire process. I have never dealt with a member of the legal community in South Florida that established such the true meaning of integrity.
Previously meeting with two attorneys, which were highly recommended, were professional & knowledgeable but lacked compassion. What was extremely prevalent was their inflated fees. Leaving their offices I was overcome with the viewpoint I was completely defenseless over my financial future. Wages garnished, I could not cover my mortgage, just modified, and I did not have enough money to cover much anything else.
Even after my Chapter 13 was finalized he further was committed to assisting me when I was in needed legal advice.
Would I recommend Ofer Shmucher Esq.? YES I WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!
I contacted ofer to filed my bankrupcy my experience was awesome. He is an excellent professional and more importantly he is very knowlegable. Definitely he is deserves a 5 stars! Quick, agile, professional, and effective. I am very please with his performance!
He made this whole process very easy, he was very informative and easy on my pocket. I had to fax some papers twice but other than that it went extremely smooth. We filed in West Palm Beach and he came all the way up here for "my meeting of debtors"
Attorney Shmucher is the best Bankruptcy Attorney in South Florida. I was in a financial mess and wanted to apply for bankruptcy Ch-7 and met several bankruptcy attorneys in Miami. Each one told me different things, different rates for filing, timeline, etc.. Though most of the attornies gave information about how the bankruptcy thing works, nobody gave me exact details of the proceedings, what I can expect, how things work etc. Also other attorneys didn't tell me exact rates they would charge, it was anywhere between $2100 to $3200. I wanted to file ASAP, for which one attorney said they can do it in premium processing for which he will charge an additional $500 !! But when I saw attorney Ofer Shmucher's website, he had specified the rates for the petition in website itself and also several details about how things work, which impressed me to visit him for a free consultation. I met him in his Ft.Lauderdale office, and the he explained me the in & out's of the procedure. I was so worried about filing and the implications, but his explanation gave confidence & courage and he told he will help me file at the earliest as long as I get him all the paperwork required. I paid about $1550 and submitted all the documents he asked me and in about 4 days he filed my petition in Miami court, and got me a 341meeting date in 38 days. Before 341 meeting date, I met him again, and he explained what questions I will be asked, and what to answer. Believe it or not, I was asked the same questions, and he was also present with me in that meeting which finished in less than 3 minutes !! I was given a form and sent back. I had to take an online course, and that't it.. In about 79 days, I received a mail from court that my case has been discharged !!!! If not for Ofer, it would have been difficult for me as I wanted to file sooner, cheaper and effectively. He said he don't charge as much as others as he doesn't have overhead cost like others, which is true. I have seen him working on his laptop, and he does finishes things right in front of you, and gets the work done. During this painful financial period, I have had very good experience working with an attorney like him who has helped me to discharge my debts. I would highly recommend Ofer for whoever want to file bankrupcy. First meet this person, and you will realise by yourself how straight he and his work is, no beating around the bush, direct answers and effective work. I wish attorney Ofer Shmucher the very best in his career, and I hope he will continue his good work and help the needy. Thanks Ofer !!
