What can you say about 'cameo' ... what precisely does it mean? Do you use this term?
Soren O
Sure, it's a pretty common term. It refers to relief carvings where the sculpted image (like a head or face) is cut in a layer that contrasts with the background layer - i.e. a different colour.
It's also used to mean a small role played by a famous actor in a play or movie.

storing canna bulbs?
i need to dig my canna's and am wondering how to bust them up. will i need to divide along a central root? will pieces with just a few roots be viable? pictures of divided canna's would be great, if any one can sent.
hey jean
think potato .... how would you store them for 4 months ...cool.. dry .... dark ...
we used to put them under the basement stairs ... on the cement floor .... and dad would water them once or twice a winter.... just to offset the furnace dryness ...
we used to take a wooden bushel basket .... link it with something natural.. like some newspaper.. and lay the cleaned bulbs in there.. with some dryish [damp but NOT wet] compost.. shredded leaves.. or peat .... not too deep or they will start to crush each other .... and then loosely cover with a few more sheets of print ...
bulbs were dug in z5 a few weeks before halloween... [because i used the stalks for decoration] .. and left on the ground to dry ... then they are cut up.. one eye per cut and again left to scab or dry ..
ALL THE RATTY ONES WERE COMPOSTED .... its just not worth trying to save a couple extra... yet have them rot and destroy the whole bunch .... again .... think bag of potatoes.... you have to get rid of the bad one.. or it will ruin the whole bag ...
you are z6.. gotta be about the same ....
be brutal in what you save ... plant one.. get about 6... 6 next year and you get 36... pretty soon... you will be throwing them away by the car load ... stay with clean.. healthy A+ stock.. and your job will be much easier ....
check them once a month.. and if they look like they are starting to shrivel.. add A LITTLE WATER to the basket ....
i NEVER HAD LUCK INTRODUCING PLASTIC into the equation at any level .... lack of proper ventilation can cause molds.. mildews.. rots.. etc .... cardboard boxes are another alternative..
good luck
I never had much luck storing cannas after digging them. Some would make it, but a lot would rot.
Finally, I changed my method. Grow them right in large pots, when fall comes, I just let them dry out a few days, cut off the foliage, and store them pot and all in the basement.
Works great. They thrive.
the potted ones which i grow in water urns- i store as is in my 60 degree cellar. the others- i cut down the foliage, dig up, let air dry a few days, and store in brown paper bags in the same cellar. i divide them in the spring if needed. no muss no fuss. never had any shrivel, myself. tough little devils!
I am storing my cannas this year a new way - in a canna grave outside.
Janet Macunovich recommends in zone 5 (she is in Michigan and I'm in Chicago) that you can create a pit outdoors at least 18 inches to 24 inches in depth and store cannas that way after they've been allowed to dry and scab over first.
I've taken half my stash, stored a portion of it the way I always do in a cardboard box after drying out in the garage for a week and put in the basement. The other half I stashed in my canna grave (I dug down 18 inches) and covered with a couple inches of shredded leaves. Hopefully this will work and that will cut down on the amount of stuff I have to store in my basement. I've already got another box filled with geraniums and citronella.

Charlie Strong becomes First Black men's head coach of Texas Longhorns
The Texas Longhorns introduced Charlie Strong as the school's new head football coach Monday. School president Bill Powers pronounced it a "historic day for the University of Texas." Clayborn, the former NFL Pro Bowler who was one of eight black UT players in 1973 called it "a very big deal."
Strong is the first black men's head coach in school history. When asked how he feels about the historical accomplishment, Strong didn't want to think of it that way. "I'm a coach and that's how I want to be treated," he said.
"Texas is one of those places that is always on your radar and a program anyone would dream of being a part of because you have a chance to compete on a national level every year," said Strong, who will be formally introduced at a news conference Monday. "It's special because it has such great history, pride, tradition and passion for football."
Strong compiled a 37-15 record in four years at Louisville, including a 23-3 mark over his last two seasons. He reportedly has a five-year, $25 million deal and will take over for Mack Brown, who won the 2005 national title and finished as the school's second-winningest coach in his 16 years.
Strong talked to Brown on Sunday and told him, "You're a man of integrity and character. What you've built here, I want to build on it." Strong added that Brown will "always be welcome" in the program, but added, "You ran your program, I have to run mine. Coach Brown left this program in great condition. It's still about recruiting, building on tradition."The bricks are there. I just need to put another brick on top of it."
"This is a wonderful day for the University of Texas," UT president Bill Powers said. "We wanted a coach who can win, and Charlie's done that, and we wanted a coach who can win with integrity.
Strong's hiring also symbolizes a historic milestone for Texas by making him the first black head coach of any men's team in school history. But Strong's appointment will be largely symbolic if it is not paired with real changes at the university, such as recruiting more African American non-student athletes, said Ben Carrington, a Texas sociology professor and member of the Men's Athletic Council.
"This marks a significant shift taking place at the university and in the state of Texas," Carrington said. "It's just a shame it took four decades to take place."
At the press conference, Strong said he will recruit hard within Texas' borders and instill a culture of mental and physical toughness into his players – all within the rules of the game.
"At end of the day, it's all about winning," Strong said. "It's about developing young people, and it's about doing it the right way."

Quite by chance the New York Times had an article today about American firearms used in crimes in Mexico. So far 60,000 weapons have been traced to American gun dealers who operate in the four border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
President Obama is trying to set up a commission that will require gun dealers in these four states to report to the ATF purchases of multiple weapons, but no approval has been forthcoming. It was stalled in the Justice Department and now stalled by the ATF because of complaints by gun lobbies that to keep these records would be illegal and might threaten the Second Amendment. Would it?
The administration promises it will set up this commission, despite the objections. Mexico is begging that we investigate the people who are buying the arms and smuggling them into their country. The murder toll from the drug wars last year was 30,000 for all the country. From what I've read many of the cartel members are Mexican teenagers who are high on drugs when they murder. There seems to be no rhyme or reason who they murder. They have murdered teens at parties, people in drug treatment clinics several times, Americans, many law enforcement officers, prosecutors. Some police chiefs don't make 24 hours from the time they are first appointed to the time they are killed.
This is a crisis sure to have consequences for us.
Others can comment with specifics, but I believe that number is inflated. There is the number of firearms seized versus the number that can be shown to be traced back to specific points of sale. The latter number is very small.
Ponder this: Mexico has very strict gun-control laws: NO ONE may own a firearm. Yet it is one of the deadliest nations on earth.
The ATF does not have the authority to mandate that a certain number of sales per unit of time to one individual must require the seller to register (essentially) the serial numbers with the individual. That runs against state and national laws. This amounts to legislation by bureaucratic fiat and is illegal.
Lets build the friggin fence already!! Stop the flow of crap in both directions!! It seems they try to distract us with this or that, when to me, the most important thing we can do is to just plain "SECURE THE BORDER!!!!"
Fences, big fences, with razor wire, lots of razor wire, with guys, big guys with guns, big guns, in towers, big towers,with little signs, in english, that say US SOIL NO TRESPASSING, USE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson
I have had a CCW Permit issued under six different sheriffs here in eastern Iowa dating back to 1968. The very word "permit" implies "government granting permission" to do something. Iowa is one of several states that do not have a '2nd Amendment' written into their state constitutions, so I have never had a serious objection to the procedure as long as I was not denied.
Last year saw a successful effort in our state legislature to make Iowa a "Shall Issue" state, whereas before 99 sheriffs in 99 separate counties had 99 diverse permitting procedures resulting in a 'may issue' environment, which could not be recognized by many other states for reciprocity.
In writing the law, our legislators also made it open/concealed carry optional. Most people and the left-wingbat media do not understand that the purpose was to prevent revocation of the permit and confiscation of the firearm from permitees who accidentally allowed their weapon to "peek" out from the place of concealment and were reported by some nervous Nellie to law enforcement. Consequently, last fall before the law's January 1, 2011 effective date, bleating sheep in the public and media were crying and wringing their hands with predictions of people openly carrying shotguns and pistols in public, followed by a spate of O K Corral-type shootouts. Of course, none of this has or will happen.
Those of us who have had to qualify on the range for permits in the past, and who understand that in a life and death scenario you are only HALF AS GOOD as on your BEST day at the range, are also somewhat nervous about the new law's lack of a range qualification requirement. It's all about the mindset of the individual, his recognition of his responsibility for what happens when he turns a round loose and the importance of hitting that at which you are aiming.
New initiatives in our legislature this session to fine tune the law and to propose a Constitutional amendment to protect our right to keep and bear arms are in the works. At the same time, municipalities statewide are considering ordinances to restrict our right to carry on public property, and a state Attorney General's opinion states that business owners can ask you to leave (subject to being arrested for trespassing if you refuse) if you are carrying on their private property. To these people, all guns are bad unless they are in the hands of government and law enforcement. That is the position of government and must be resisted and reversed through education. It is similar to hanging a sign on your front door that reads, "GUN FREE ZONE". Criminals don't care about laws or postings, or private rights.
The mindset of the carrier of weapons to which I referred earlier has to fall into one of three categories: (1) Sheep, (2) Wolf, (3) Sheepdog. A Sheep doesn't want to have anything to do with guns and have a victim mindset. The Wolf is always around to take advantage of the Sheep's mindset - even kill them. The sheepdog recognizes the presence of Wolves and an obligation to protect the Sheep by carrying a gun. By denying the Sheepdog his right to carry a weapon near them, the Sheep give the Wolves the advantage.
We will see if common sense will prevail in Iowa and elsewhere.

Tag:Fiesta Bowl
Posted on: January 2, 2011 9:02 pm
A Major Announcement By BuccinGator
Today, I mourn the death of my long time avatar of Big Game Boob Stoops and his epic losses in BCS bowl games. As a blind squirrel occasionally plays UCONN in football instead of basketball finds an acorn, his team put up an epic beatdown in the Fiesta Bowl last night which led to my decision to permanently retire my long time avi. Helping ease the pain is my new avi of Bucs rookie receiver Mike Williams who should get some consideration for rookie of the year, especially if Bradford falls on his face tonight. I have a feeling that my new avi of his leaping catch in today's game against the Saints will proudly serve me for just as long, if not longer than my favorite college football whipping post other than anything to do with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. In all seriousness, what an unexpectantly exciting year for the Buccaneers and their young football team. They have laid the foundation for many great years to come, and Josh Freeman appears to be a true stud. Instead of a sophomore slump, he led a very young team to a 10-6 record while throwing TWENTY FIVE touchdowns versus only 6 picks. For those of you stumbling by here via title or tag that grabbed your attention, I am running a blogoff of the Worst Song Ever. We are down to the Sour 16 and heading for the Earbleeding 8.

10 Things I learned the week of Jan. 5th
I'm a little under the weather and under the gun this week, so I'm only doing a half dose. Update: Now that I'm feeling better, and over my celebratory hangover from Thursday night (Go Gators!!!), I'm expanding this week's installment back to 10. There were other things I definitely wanted to hit on. I considered doing part 2 of this week under next week's entry, but decided instead to finish it, and just post a link next week back to this one.
1) Just exactly how good is the Big 12 Conference - A strange thought entered my head during the Fiesta Bowl in the final moments before Ohio State's defensive coordinator suffered a mental lapse of epic proportions. Had Ohio State held on to that game, the Big 12 conference would have been 3-3 going into the BCS Championship game. The real funny thing would have been, though, that all three wins would have come from teams in the north, which was the inferior division this year. Now while these games have no bearing on the title game and the better team should win, it makes me question just how strong the "strongest" conference was this year. Update: I think the answer to this question is now clearly a resounding, "Not as strong as everybody (including myself) thought they were!" Still doesn't change the fact that they were the best conference this year (or that the SEC had a down year despite 6-2), but sheesh!
2) Could Mack Brown and Pete Carroll please STFU - Oh my god!!!! Are these two coaches clueless. Hey Mack, there's no way that IMPRESSIVE victory on THE LAST PLAY over a tOSU team you were SUPPOSED to destroy is going to convince voters in the AP to vote Texas number 1. In fact, they might be lucky to be voted number 4 behind the winner of the title game, Utah, and USC. When you say there will be a split title come Friday, that may be, but it won't be the Longhorns splitting it, genius. Now, on to Carroll, who's team might get some first place votes. You come out and say "Nobody can beat this USC team"? Not, I think this team is the best in the country? Not, nobody's playing better right now than we are? Guess what. Somebody DID beat this USC team, which is why they were playing in the ROSE BOWL. You might have remembered them. They were called Oregon State. Honestly, if there is a split title on Friday (doubt it, especially if Florida wins since they are already number 1 in that poll), the team with the best case is Utah. Afterall, they are the only undefeated team in all of the FBS.
3) My Predictions are going south - I don't want to look at what my bowl record is, and my NFL predictions were 1-3 after amazingly 2 home teams won (and not the one I picked to do so, sorry Yo) despite all 4 road teams being favored. Honestly, the most suprising was San Diego over Indy (and Jay Cutler, please come on down for your dose of STFU). Honestly, if it wasn't for the Chargers mistakes, Indy wouldn't have even been in that game. Just goes to show that the any given Sunday rule applies even to the playoffs. Since I picked all four home teams this round anyway, I won't bother repicking (since they should {hopefully} win).
4) The forgotten third team - I'm surprised by all the OU and UF fans who think this game will be a blowout, with their team reaching potentially the 60's in scoring. I just don't see it. I see it being a close game with both teams in the thirties (for a total in the sixties). First off, I'm tired of UF and OU fans defending thier team/conference by using the "Big 12 plays no defense" and "The SEC has no offense" lines. Simply put, OU will be the best offense that UF will play this year, and UF will be the best defense OU will play this year, and anybody not accepting this is just refusing to take off their homer glasses. But if my predicition is correct of it being a close, potentially lower scoring game, then special teams could play a huge role, and this is where UF has a clear advantage and will hopefully cash in big time. People tend to easily overlook it, but special teams can put up huge hidden numbers. With all they're great returns and punt blocks, how many times did the Gators have a short field this year? Not only does starting from the 50+ greatly increase your chances of a TD, but it's hard to rack up huge offensive numbers when you do so 25% of the time. The only way OU is likely to operate on a short field is if they force turnovers, something they are very good at doing, but UF is very good at avoiding. Now maybe this won't be a factor in the game, and maybe OU wins anyway, but I feel this will lead to ...
5) BuccinGator's BCS Championship Game Prediction - UF 37 OU 31
6) Geaux LSU - Wow, I did not see that beat down coming on Dec. 31st. In fact, to my embarassment, I had it completely the other way. After watching Georgia Tech just manhandle Miami and Georgia, getting something like 400+ yards rushing in EACH GAME, I thought LSU would be completely overmatched, especially since they struggled defensively this year. This, and I felt Georgia Tech was the best team in the ACC (guess it really was Virginia Tech. By the way, is there a conference that is stronger in the middle but weaker at the top than the ACC? Simply put, no). Well, I'll happily eat my crow on this one. Part of the problem is I used cyclical logic on this one, which I should know better than to do. I figured since GT destroyed Georgia, and Georgia destroyed LSU ... well you see where that went. It's the same logic that most year's will allow you do say that a FCS school should be national champs (because they beat team W that beat team X that beat team Y that beat team Z that beat the national champs). Ugh.
7) Utes in (and display some) good hands at Allstate Sugar Bowl - What a great game for Utah. I think Alabama was surprised by the speed and tenacity that Utah displayed. Alabama did show some guts in cutting it from 21-0 to 21-17 in the second half, but honestly, the only time Bama was really close in that game was the opening coin toss. To some degree, this was caused by Utah realizing that this game was their Super Bowl. With as good as the Mountain West was this year, maybe next year Utah and/or TCU will start off high enough in the polls that they will have a legitimate shot at Pasadena next year. The rest of this might have been caused by ...
8) Andre the Giant Mistake - Where the heck was this kid's head? Talking to an agent BEFORE he plays his final game? I think he was a senior (Bamaman, feel free to add a comment and correct me if I'm wrong), which means he won't be in the Senior Bowl, either. Now while he has the talent where he'll still be a first rounder, this didn't help him at all. More over, it hurt his team, big time. You can't do anything this blatantly silly, especially right before a major bowl game. Way to go, Smith!
9) Rebeling against the Raiders - What a game put in by Ole Miss (Arkansas fans ... again, you wanted Petrino over Nutt? I'm going to keep hammering this until it sinks in. Not only is Nutt a better coach, but Petrino is a certifiable TRAITOR. You'll learn the hard way soon enough when he realizes the SEC is over his head, just like the NFL was). I had this game as being much closer than most people thought, and the Rebs did not disappoint. I was telling everyone who would listen (SEC fans {especially Georgia fans}, Big 12 fans {especially Texas Tech fans}, and Big 10 fans {especially Iowa fans, because I wanted to see them here in Tampa}) that Ole Miss was the third best team in the SEC this year, and they went out and proved it on the field. Jevan Sneed will be a stud. In a down year for SEC QB play, he was a bright spot.
10) Matt Ryan will be a great QB, but don't crown him yet - There was talk about the midway point of the NFL season of considering Matt Ryan for NFL MVP. I quickly pointed out on a thread that such talk was ridiculous and WAY too early, but he was a deserving offensive ROY (although I told people then not to forget about Forte. I had Ryan winning it back then, be he was CLEARLY deserving after the season). The point here, though, maybe Michael Turner was more worthy of MVP talk. After all, in the games where I saw him get shut down (the first Panthers and Buccaneers games for ATL), Matt Ryan looked VERY MUCH like a lost rookie. HUGE kudos to the Arizona Cardinals for doing the same thing and getting the same result.

In the past 20 years, no single sport has exploded more than mixed martial arts. It has gone from being banished in almost every state, and even from television, to being one of today's most popular sporting tickets. The kingpin of all MMA organizations is the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Since it's inception, the UFC has been the home of some of the biggest fights and most badass fighters. And when you have badass dudes trying to punch through the faces of their opponents, things are bound to get messy. Here are some of the bloodiest fights in UFC history.
In his hometown of Montreal, Georges St. Pierre defended his Welterweight Title against what many experts thought was his most dangerous challenge to-date in veteran fighter Carlos Condit. However, GSP made it look easy as he bloodied and beat Condit for five rounds and won a decisive victory via judges decision. St. Pierre won every single round.
Long after the spotlight of an arena full of fans has faded, retired athletes move on to all kinds of other careers and journeys in life.
While Miami Heat small forward Lebron James has established himself as the game's best player the past five or so years, the question that has been posed by many is, "who can challenge or dethrone him?" King James poses many
We've all seen their smiling faces, lit up by the white hot spotlight of a press conference, shaking hands with an owner/GM as they agree to the "big contract.
If every NBA General Manger had a crystal ball, bad contracts would not exist. No one would be overpaid. Fans wouldn't have to watch a player collect a large paycheck by sitting on the bench every night.
Switzerland's Roger Federer and Spain's Rafael Nadal have spun together one of the most compelling rivalries in the history of sports. Certain matches between the two have aided in shaping this rivalry and sparking all the questions that are still being asked today. Here are the 11 best moments in the sometimes-friendly-sometimes-not rivalry between two of the game's greatest players.
Let's make this clear, the #1 most fascinating aspect of NCAA March Madness is the upsets. We count down ten of the best and most shocking upsets from the history of the tournament.
There was a mountain of money tossed around during the Major League Baseball off-season. General managers were literally climbing all over themselves to sign big-ticket free agents in a bid to bolster their championship fortunes.
The silly season is nearly upon the NHL. The March 2nd trade deadline is but five days away and over-analyzed movement has already begun.
The winter sweeps are over and many a major league baseball team re-tooled, either to improve their lot in life, or make the playoffs. But, there were teams asleep at the switch and their season's might derail because of inactivity, or wrong activity in the free agent and trade markets.
The NBA All-Star weekend is filled with superstar players, amazing performances, thrilling drunks and almost zero defense. We count down our eight favourite things in All-Star Game history, including memorable Dunk Contest moments.
The MLB off-season is just about over and through trades and free agency, some teams got measurably better. Maybe not world championship better, but certainly miles ahead of 2014.
Check out our ten favourite memes that the internet came up with during (and after) this year's edition of the Super Bowl. Katy Perry. Halftime sharks. Richard Sherman. Deflategate. No one was safe.
As the fight for Champions League supremacy rages on in Europe, teams are more willing to splurge for bigger names and better players than ever before. Foreign owners with deep pockets have contributed to driving prices up, up, and up some more. Here are the most pricey player purchases of all time.
Super Bowl Sunday is almost upon us, thank goodness. The media circus gives way to an actual football game, where many different scenarios could play out. We have five things to look for come game day.
Wardrobe malfunctions. Amazing comebacks. Stadium-wide blackouts. Sometimes things happen in the Super Bowl that no one could have predicted. This year we try to get ahead of the craziness and make a few ridiculous predictions of our own.
Commercials are as much a part of the Super Bowl as suds and chicken wings. And, in some cases, more interesting than the game. The all-time funny ones are classic and here for viewing enjoyment, again.
As Beast Mode prepares to play in his second straight Super Bowl, we took a look back at the most memorable moments of his career. Everything from amazing plays and huge fines to crotch grabbing and non-interviews make the list.
No one likes to be on the receiving end of a lopsided score, especially at a Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl has given us five decades of unforgettable moments. From amazing plays to horrible blunders, check out our picks for the nine best moments in Super Bowl history.

Gun Show! Sounds interesting..would like to have a visit,can someone tell me which gun show is the best?
I don't see any guns on your tables, must be a lame gun show, with no guns. Lol
No I see their "Guns" clearly... They just aren't the right "caliber" for me ( Sry just joking please don't smack me mods....)
Guns? We don need no stinking guns! I/k..
The best gun show in Florida would be the Orlando show because of sheer size and variety. Second would be Miami because of the competition down there. Third would be the Lauderdale show. The rest around the State are kinda the same. Also, any Show where we are is a good idea becasue of the quality of our product. See below
Dam I still miss some things about Miami

Senate Holds First Hearing On Solitary Confinement
Originally published on Tue June 19, 2012 6:31 pm
Advocates for prisoners rights say too many inmates spend years in solitary confinement — in violation of the constitutional bar against cruel and unusual punishment. Today, they persuaded the U.S. Senate to hold the first hearing on the issue, as state and federal prison systems fend off new lawsuits over the practice.

Support inquiry
I would like to ask for the same ...
LG G2 32 GB from HK , today made update by LG PC Suite to software ver D80220B, after restart I stocked with PIN/ Password to decrypt inquiry ...
What to do ? I have followed your suggestions but it doesn't work ..
Frankly speaking I have only tried with D80220A ver , to downgrade the phone
But after switching to LG Mobile , it still downloading the newest version again - the effect after restart was the same , inquiry for PIN/ Password .
I have noticed that after switching language and location from Poland to Korean Republic - it showed in LG mobile support tool , two options ... one of them was to get your PIN - but unfortunately I need to register and www was in Korean ..
Any ideas , hints - I will appreciate your kind support

Do aphids harm milkweed plants?
I was under the impression that the oleander aphids aren't good for milkweed plants, that they suck the juices out of them. Is that true? Could they kill a plant? Or is it okay to leave them on the plant, and maybe the only harm they do to the plant is to make it unsightly due to the honeydew?
I learned some time back on here that ladybugs eat the aphids. I haven't seen many ladybugs this year. Has anyone else? Despite my not seeing many now, I'm sure before too long we'll have tons of the Asian ones here at our place. I used to like ladybugs when all that we had were native ladybugs, but after someone dragged the Asian ones over here, we've been getting swarms of them here in the fall and we can barely stand to walk outside (they bite). For probably about the past ten years the ladybugs have become a real nuisance in the house here in the winter (they get in by the thousands). It might not be a problem for someone who owns a fairly new house, but our house is very old.
From what I see on my milkweed plants, it would appear that the ladybugs aren't doing their job. I have tons of aphids. Do you think a person shouldn't kill the aphids because of the supposedly lower ladybug population (if we kill them, it could be detrimental to the ladybugs)? Just what would be the cause of the lower ladybug population this year? Maybe I shouldn't have killed so many oleander aphids last year, but there were thousands and thousands of them.
Cathy ~ for what it's worth (since I'm fairly new at butterfly raisin',) I used to have about 10 large milkweed plants (A. curassavica) which were infested with the yellow aphids most of the time. This was when I lived in S. California. I found that when I let the aphids go wild and do their thing, that invariably, lacewings would come and lay multitudes of their eggs in bunches of long stalks on the leaves of the milkweeds. Then their larvae would wander around and eat up most of the aphids, and so make alot more lacewings, which would control the aphids in my entire yard. In short, I was raising lacewings in abundance! Yes, there were more ladybugs there too, enjoying the feast. Now, maybe the cheese done fell outa my sandwich, but I think that if you want the beneficial insects around, you have to have some plants that support large populations of aphids as food for them. After all, the "oleander" aphids didn't infest any other plants in my yard, so the milkweed/aphid combination turned out to be a great thing for me and my butterfly nursery.
Cathy, I do think that eventually they affect the overall vitality of the plant, but I am kind of inclined to agree Mlle. Buttefnly in that if you have food for the beneficials they will come, e.g. ladybugs and their larva, lacewings, and others I'm sure. T kind of take a "wait and see" approach. If the infestation gets so bad that the aphids are creating that black sooty mold on the foliage, particularly the new growth, I wash them down good with the hose, not really getting rid of all of them, but a good number.
If I can see a number of beneficials and their eggs around the yard, I will do nothing because they will have a meal ready for them when they hatch. So, it's kind of like using my own judgment about what, when, and how, or even if. I got so tired of squishing milkweed beetles this year - gross! They were my worst enemy on my milkweeds.
Those aren't 'red aphids' but are 'baby' Milkweed Bugs. ;P
I hose down the Oleander Aphids. The Lacewings are everywhere in my garden and their larvae have plenty to munch on even after I've hosed off the Aphids. I have Aphids I leave on my other plants so there is never any problems with the 'extra' food. Ladybugs are also reproducing in my garden as well so I don't think that my efforts in trying to control the Oleander Aphid population by my human methods has caused any harm in the insect world. In fact, for my school bug club I simply go out and wander around in my garden on any given day and can find the necessary life-cycle step of a ladybug which is quite cool! The kids have been able to watch ladybugs grow from egg and have seen each step all in one fell swoop.
I have seen what the aphids have done to MY Milkweed and am NOT fond of these little things. Period.
As for the little red MW bugs? Squish. I'm certain the bug police will be on me soon...
My milkweed becomes infested with these little yellow bugs. It is
the milkweed bug, but they do look like aphids. I do not spray
or hose them off because I have baby monarch cats on them. I
was almost going to give up and get rid of my butterfly weed
because of this infestation. What I do now is I inspect my plants,
usually when it starts blooming, every day to see if any of the
adult milkweed bugs are there. They don't come all at once. They
are very easy to spot, being bright orange and black. I get a plastic
cup, add water with a little dishwashing soap. Put the cup under the
bug and throw them in the cup with a stick. A few may get away
but you can get them the next day. This works for me and you
get way less aphids. My goal this summer is to get every adult I
see. My sister saw me doing this last summer and she wished she
had done it because her milkweed was so infested you could hardly
see the stem.
Are these the little bugs your talking about?
First of all, everyone answering on this page apparently does not know that the little yellow specks on the Milkweed pods are Oleander Aphids and not baby Milkweed Bugs. Baby Milkweed Bugs are bright orange and never yellow. Second, the Ladybugs from Asia are called Asian Lady Beetles and are mistaken for the American Ladybugs all the time. So, what is in someone's house that they are calling Ladybugs may in fact be Asian Lady Beetles, which are very similar and the same size. The Asian Lady Beetle has an M right behind the head. They can also be red, orange or even yellow.
As for the Oleander Aphids, they feed on the pods at the end of the season and are not a problem unless you have an extreme amount of them and they become a nuisance. Typically, other insects like the Green Lacewing, American Ladybugs, Ambush Bugs, Harvestmen (Daddy long-legs) and other species keep down the aphid population. I have many Milkweed plants and see the aphids every year with the Milkweed Bugs and other insects. My plants bloom every year and new plants come up every Spring. I have no problem. Also, Milkweed Bugs only feed on the seeds of the pods. They don't feed on the rest of the plant and don't feed on other plants at all. Milkweed Bugs are harmless. Don't worry about them. Never use pesticides for any reason. These chemicals kill many insects and other species. If you think you have too many aphids and they are not being eaten then blast the pods they are on with the jet setting on the hose. If you are not using the seeds or dried pods then you can also remove the pods with the aphids to get rid of them. None of the common insects seen on Milkweed plants will kill the plant or effect other plants in the yard.
I am new to milkweed cultivation for Monarchs . I just noticed in the last week a large colony of the yellow aphids (looked at one with a dissecting microscope and they are bright yellow with 2 black horns coming out of their backs). I sprayed them off but I am sure that I did not get them all. My questions are: 1) Will it deter butterflies if I spray the aphids with a very weak solution of dishsoap? 2) They seem to prefer the seed stalks, should I cut them off? By the way I saw a single ladybug on the infested plant make a quick U-turn when it ran into the aphids, I thought it would be a feast. Thanks, great site for gardening.
The fact that only Milkweeds get Oleander Aphids is a mixed blessing, and one that can be used to one's advantage. Milkweeds are tough plants and I have seen them support seemingly large populations of these bugs without problems.
Only plants grown in too much shade or are otherwise stressed out will succumb.
That being said, large Aphid populations do attract beneficial insects which keep their numbers in check. Aphid wasps, lacewings, hoverflies and ladybugs all benefit from these aphid blooms. When they run out of Oleander Aphids, they clean up the rest of the garden, eating aphids, mites, whitefly and scale.The only caveat: Be vigilant for ELFs and eggs. Eggs and early instars will be consumed as well.
A Monarch generally won't choose a plant with too many aphids for this reason.
Thank you to all of you who have replied to this thread that I started. I have no idea how I missed the answers but I saw them now that seven11 joined the forum and dredged the thread up. :) By the way, welcome to this family of butterfly nuts. Ha.
Every year I have tons of aphids show up here. I despise their method of reproduction because it's much too efficient for them to greatly increase their numbers and make me a lot of work to squish them. I spent so much time doing that last year it grew old in a hurry. After spending several hours a day for weeks smashing them, I thought what a waste of my time! It was really hard to keep up with them and I wasn't getting other things done that I wanted to do.
I've never tried the hose blasting method that I've read about on here that some other people do. I could be wrong but my thoughts on that are wouldn't they just survive the blast, fall to the ground and crawl right back up the plants later that day and they're there the next day to blast at again? That's why I've been squishing them (my daughter gets disgusted by the way they make my fingers a different color and just the idea of doing it with my bare hands). It is very time consuming though and I really am leaning towards blasting them this year.
I have milkweed bugs, but they never really get too bad, so I basically ignore them. Sometimes I'm torn between letting the tussock moth cats live or killing them. I think that they're cute and fuzzy, but yet the more that they eat it leaves less for the Monarchs. If I get as many cats as I did last year though (zero), I guess it wouldn't really matter, but then again, I can't predict if the Monarchs will show up here or not.
I have a few swamp milkweed plants and lots of tropical milkweed that I started. The SMW does little to help Monarchs here because it gets ugly black blotches all over the plants, making them basically inedible for the cats. The TMW do great here, and I'm aware of the controversy surrounding planting them vs. not. I start them with seeds by wintersowing and by taking cuttings late in the season and bringing them in the house over the winter. I won't let them spread by seed again because I had thousands of them come up last year. Previous years I also let them go to seed but only had a few plants come up from seeds. It does make me wonder if they could have the possibility of becoming invasive, but there are other kinds of plants here that I'm more worried about in that way. I have all kinds of weeds that creep from the lawn into the flower gardens and beds; once they're in there they run rampant because I just can't keep up with it all. Creeping Charlie is the most annoying for me. I didn't have time to weed in my upper garden at all last year, and you should see how it has spread in there! Between the weeds and the Oleander aphids here every year, it sure keeps me busy! I love the butterflies though.
On that note, I'll post that I released my first Black Swallowtail butterfly of the year on Tuesday, May 13 that had overwintered out in the tool shed, and we released (my husband did, actually) two today. I still have more BST to come out and also Pipevine Swallowtails and Giant Swallowtails. I'm so ready to get butterfly cats to raise! I've been seeing Cabbage Whites, Wild Indigo Duskywings, Black Swallowtails, and Eastern Tiger Swallowtails so far this year flying around outside. I'm crossing my fingers for me and others to see more butterflies this year than last year because I know it wasn't a very good year for a lot of us. I'm especially hoping for some Monarch(s) to show up here and lay eggs.
You know, I've done a little of both - squishing and water... but you know what has worked the best for me? Leaving them alone. Because along come predators and they will clean my milkweed up in a just a few days. Lady bug larvae and that little greenish flat fly larvae - and lacewing larvae. Those guys will clean up my milkweed so fast it's amazing. I'll still wash or squish if it's a TERRIBLE infestation, but once I get the lacewings going, I pretty much leave 'em alone.
Waited for predators to eat the many aphids but now I notice that there is a shiny film on many of the leaves that does not look very good. So I deadheaded all of the seed pods (not the flowers) and carefully sprayed the entire plant with water, removing about 98% of the aphids.
Whatever you do to control aphids, early intervention is the key. We haven't had an infestation since 2011, but I'm not sure if that's necessarily a good thing. Whatever's eating all the aphids is probably getting monarch eggs and cats too!
Below are 7 ideas to stop aphids from taking over your milkweed. Good luck, Tony

The mayor of Irving, Texas, claims that the first known Islamic Tribunal court in the United States won't have legal authority to impose Shariah law in the state.
In a statement posted on her Facebook page Friday, Irving Mayor Beth van Duyne denied that the Islamic Tribunal at the Islamic Center of Irving has garnered legal power.
"Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the city of Irving has somehow condoned, approved or enacted the implementation of a Shariah law court in our city," wrote van Duyne. more >>
Pope Francis has sent out a letter to the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church declaring that sex abusers have no place in the ecclesiastical body.
In the official letter sent out Monday the pontiff mentioned a July meeting he had with individuals who were sexually abused by Catholic priests. "At my meeting in July with persons who had suffered sexual abuse by priests, I was deeply moved by their witness to the depth of their sufferings and the strength of their faith," wrote Francis.
"This experience reaffirmed my conviction that everything possible must be done to rid the Church of the scourge of the sexual abuse of minors and to open pathways of reconciliation and healing for those who were abused." more >>

As children move though the teen years they desire to pole vault into independence. This, mixed with a bubbling set of hormones and an ever-expanding understanding of society, can make fathering teens one of the hardest, emotionally charged tasks for God's man.
Yet, it's critical to "lean into" these years versus withdraw and not allow the pace of life or teenage attitudes to create detachment. Here's why: this is when your children are in the "red zone" of identity and it is your responsibility to bring them into the end zone of adulthood.
Unfortunately, reading between the lines of the following news reports, many teens suffer from a lack of fathers leaning in and taking their roles seriously resulting in unintended but very real suffering. Check out these national headlines from the last year, along with "My between the lines" take: more >>

When a whale dies in the ocean, its body sinks to the sea floor. It becomes a huge source of food for the animals that live there.
A whale's body can provide food for 100 years or more!
Three groups of animals feed on the whale's body, each in turn:
- Animals that can swim easily arrive first. Among them are hagfishes and sleeper sharks. These animals eat most of the meat off of the whale's body. They are known as scavengers, which means they eat animals that are already dead.
- The next groups of animals are smaller and eat the bits of meat left over by the first group. They are marine worms, called polychaetes, and other invertebrates. There can be billions of individual animals on the whale in this stage.
- Bacteria make up the third group. They feed on the fat that remains in the whale's bones after all the meat is gone. This stage can last decades.
- In total, a whale's body can produce food for more than 100 years!

Can You Guess My Secret Weapon?
Hagfishes are one of the animals that feed on a whale's body. Sometimes the hagfishes are attacked by other animals.
How does the hagfish defend itself from these attacks?
It bites the attacking animal
It poisons the attacking animal
It suffocates the attacking animal

The Saguenay–Saint Lawrence Marine Park protects and presents the marine environment of a section of the St. Lawrence Estuary and the Saguenay Fjord. Five whale species inhabit the waters of the marine park, including the beluga (Delphinapterus leucas), which is a protected species. In all, more than 15 species of marine mammals have been reported—evidence of the marine park's ecological significance.
Protected natural areas (such as national parks and national marine conservation areas) provide the places where natural processes—such as decomposition of a whale on the ocean floor—keep occurring. These processes are important components of any ecosystem; many elements of the ecosystem and many species depend on them.

svirk Wrote at 9:10 AM "It is a indeed a powerful film. American propaganda is strong." It is really nice to read a Liberal's ramblings. They try to be so "cutting edge" cute in their snide remarks. I especially like his use of contrasts: "powerful film" vs, "strong propaganda". Careful review of svirk's comment will cause the reader to determine the following: 1. svirk was too much of a coward to serve in the US military. 2. svirk lives in his mother's basement. 3. svirk's only job is licking envelopes for the DNC. 4. svirk's college degree is in "advanced basket weaving". As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon."
In response to:
Good one, John!
In response to:
It sounds like you are "protesting" just a little too much, svirk. Either you are a Muslim and hiding the truth, or you are a typical Liberal who has drunk way too much koolaide. Both British and French politicians admitted to having "no-go zones" in their countries during the summer of 2013 and spring of 2014. Now both sets of politicians in both countries are feeling the heat and are "back-peddling".
The only way to win a war is to, "Kill them all and let God sort them out." War is killing and destruction. There is no other sane way to look at war.
Nice one Fishers!
But Webboss you appear to have some intelligence (except for your mis-spelling of the word "quiet"). Jimmy Carter is an idiot.
Jimmy Carter was the worst president in US history, up until Obama. He was an idiot during his term; and he continues to be an idiot now. (And after his "defeat" at the hands of a rabbit, the world discovered he had a yellow streak a mile wide.)
Canned Goods????????? So I guess after the "intruder" has killed the teacher and the students, he can pick up a few items and not have to go to the grocery store. And this is from Alabama. I thought better of the people in my neighboring state.

You are correct Alvin. (I also like your Sherlock Holmes reference in your analysis.)

Gee Buzzy, where would we get a "blue print" for our morality in the US if it wasn't for the Bible?
In response to:
"Why--and here I am truly puzzled--does mainstream Hollywood continue to glamorize such hard-core Stalinists?" Because most of the Hollywood elites are either Socialist or Communist. But their "pay back" is coming and coming sooner than they thought, if the 2014 elections are any indicator.

Best exercise moves in the least time
Abdominals -- I call these "Ab Finders." Sit on the floor leaning slightly back above your tailbone. Tilt your pelvic bone toward the ceiling and engage your abdominals through your back. Arms at your side. Legs bent slightly in front of you. Lower yourself down 2 to 3 inches and raise back up. Hold your lowered position for two counts if possible. Repeat. This exercise targets your obliques and midsection.
If you do these exercises two to three times a week, along with eating a healthy diet, you will feel and see results within a few weeks.
Remember that you and your body are important -- and the lawn will still be there to finish later.
