I declared Spring
I guess I'm a gambler, tired or navigating all the big pots outside the garage door, I drug them out and put them in the places for spring and summer. Have some things still in the greenhouse, but they are moving on out tomorrow.
Anyone else a gambler?
Cynthia, you are a brave woman, but I'm thinking very seriously in taking up your kind of gambling as a hobby; not that gardening isn't a gambling hobby already. However, I feel like betting against the odds. I'm thinking of taking my bougies out of the greenhouse. The only thing is like Carrie, someone (namely Bob) has to help me and there is no way he is going to rush around putting them back if there is a freeze predicted. But then they are not terribly tender and could take some light freezes ... decisions, decisions. I might wait a few more days until the 10 day forcast goes a couple of days into March and that won't be long.
You are my garden gurus and you are very wise indeed. I can still drag pots around. My bougies were hit hard by rats. Never happened before. they never touched them all last spring and summer. Still not sure why now, there is plenty of food in the bird feeders.
Anyway, they won't be hard to move on out. Going to haul out the big Brug and let him sit near the GH door. Then I'll be watching the weather like a hawk.
BTW my favorite local nursery didn't have anything out on their open air tables today. Guess they are not gamblers either.
You're brave! I have a 3-day weekend planned for March 8 to get going in earnest ... guess I'm a chicken gambler. I did side dress perennials this past weekend because I'm itching to do something!
My two favorite nurseries don't have much out yet either. Ruibal's at the Dallas Farmers Market is starting to come to life though.
Cynthia, I hope you are right. The 10 day doesn't have any freezing temps, but some are pretty close. I'll probably take the bet on the 1st of March if the 10 day still looks good. I used to wait till the 7th before making the call, but I think the first is relatively safe.
The link below from the TV show Central Texas Gardener has some helpful information about what is safe to plant now and what we should wait on. The article points out that even though the air temps are warm the soil has not had time to warm up. That's good to know. However, I think many of my plants in pots will appreciate being taken out of my rather shady over wintering house and into more light and warmth so that's what I'm doing. I was going to plant some things like esperanza, but after reading this I think I'll wait a bit before planting in the ground.
Here is a link that might be useful: What can I plant in late winter? Is it too early for summer plants?
Phoenix, I think your comments are smart - watch mesquites and pecans. Forecast tonight in DFW is low of 34. No freezing in forecast, but it's still on the edge of chilly. Hate those early March freezes! Thank goodness my big pots are on rolling caster plant stands so I can be a little flexible. I don't have a hunk-o-man at my house, so there's only so much I can move stuff back and forth into and out of shelter! :)
robyn, I have some of the rolling stands too. I drug mine off the stands to get more sun. I'll be clencing tomorrow night. I have protection from the house and a big fountain, but don't know how much of a gambler I'll be if the forecast goes to freezing.....c
Oh, and to anyone ready to invest in the rolling stands, a cheaper stand without a rim to help hold the big pot on it is not a bargain....deep sigh I learned the hard way
I have to agree with phoenix, although I go by the mesquite trees as the pecans tend to leaf out later. I was so excited to see the "mesquite trees" by the road in bud yesterday morning...until my mother in SA said that she'd closely examined the mesquite trees at our old house and they're not even thinking about putting out leaves. Guess I was mistaken in what I thought were mesquites!
I am looking at starting the vegetable garden this weekend, at least getting it ready to plant the tomatoes next weekend. It's a raised bed, so hopefully it'll warm up sooner than the ground.
It froze at my house last night, and will again tonight. Winter is not quite through with me as yet...........this is why I don't gamble with putting them outside early. I have nothing but a barbed wire fence between the north pole and my plants so perhaps I get more winter than a lot of you even though I am in "the area" !!
Some of my lantana did not even die this year, and the geraniums in pots that I didn't get into the greenhouse are still green and thriving! I also noticed my passionvine hardly died back at all, and is putting out new growth. I am in west Austin. I'm not bringing my citrus trees or bougainvilla out of the greenhouse just yet, though.
Something struck my funny bone about this thread ... everyone (including me!) is hoping it's warm enough to get about the business of getting 'maters in the ground, pulling out the bougies from the garage ... basically saying "hurry up - get warm!"
Alas, in a few short months we'll be wishing we could have just a hint of sweater weather again! :)
Cynthia, agree on the "cheapo" rolling plant stands. I've also learned to put little blocks on the wheels. Had a 8' ficus and a 10' citrus roll clear across my slightly sloped patio one windy day last year, and they both rolled right off a 3' drop into the beds below. Wiped out a small azalea ... and the the ficus was cranky for weeks afterwards!
Robyn, your cranky ficus comment cracked me up!
So Cynthia, are the babies all tucked in with their winter blankies? I remember so many times when I was in a hurry to take the plants out, then had to hustle the blankets and buckets over everything :-) Good times!
I use hubby's furniture dolly to wheel my stuff out... when he is not at home anyway. He is a huge help with heavy stuff and loves the garden as much as I do. I am a lucky woman.
I drug my Brug back into the greenhouse. Will roll the lemon tress with his first tiny buds back into the garage along with the kumquats. I guess the tropical hibiscus that can be rolled in will be. A sheet over the rubber tree. 30 degrees is a morning temp on Friday.....sigh nature wins
So sorry Cynthia. Since I'm south of you in San Antonio I have hopes that it won't freeze again in this locality. Bob has been busy on some landscape projects so I haven't asked him to help me take the bougies out of the green house, but the hard winds of the last few days has sure been hard on a few of the things I did take out; tearing leaves off Madagascar palm, breaking stems of the Iserine, etc.. Oh well, they'll grow back.

Courts have established that inmates who are insane – so out of touch with reality that they do not know right from wrong and cannot understand their punishment or the purpose of it – cannot be executed (Ford v. Wainwright). The Supreme Court has also held that a mentally retarded individual cannot be executed (Atkins v. Virginia).
The state of Georgia has executed Troy Davis, despite serious concerns that he was wrongly convicted in 1989 of killing a police officer. This case makes clear that the death penalty system in the United States is broken beyond repair. It is arbitrary, discriminatory and comes at an enormous cost to taxpayers, and it must be ended.
There are significant gaps in the legal protection accorded severely mentally ill defendants charged with or convicted of a capital crime. Most notably, this country still permits the execution of the severely mentally ill. The problem is not a small one. A leading mental health group, Mental Health America, estimates that five to ten percent of all death row inmates suffer from a severe mental illness.
Significant numbers of individuals with serious mental illnesses are housed in North Carolina jails and prisons today. This is so despite the accepted fact that people with severe and debilitating mental illness are considered to be less responsible for their actions than those without such impairments, even when those actions violate the basic tenets of civil society.
The American Civil Liberties Union believes the death penalty inherently violates the constitutional ban against cruel and unusual punishment and the guarantees of due process of law and of equal protection under the law. Furthermore, we hold that the state should not arrogate unto itself the right to kill human beings – especially when it kills with premeditation and ceremony, in the name of the law or in the name of its people, or when it does so in an arbitrary and discriminatory fashion.
Supreme Court cases considering whether death row inmates who have been found incompetent are entitled to a stay of their federal habeas corpus proceedings.

Another one bites the dust...what to do!
Well, we just had an ice storm last night and look what we woke up to:
This is one of my hosta beds! Half of my tree that shades it is a goner! Some of you may remember that I was planning to replace this tree over the next couple of years by planting a new one in it's place and slowly trimming back the old one (bradford pear that previous owner planted), then finally taking it down. Well, I just bought the replacement even, as you can see. A texas white redbud. I'm going to plant it right where you see it sitting.
What do I do, though, now that half my shade for my hostas is gone? This is in the very front of my house, so I can't very well erect a shelter or sunshade or anything like that. Can't grow anything that fast.
I will take a minute to say thank the Lord that it didn't do any damage whatsoever. Barely touching the gutter, missed the car and even my garden art! Nice work! I had just extended this bed for more hosta!
Looks like half of the tree is still there. If you look straight out my window, east is towards the blue van that is the farthest away. The half that is broken off is pointing north. The half that is still there may shade still somewhat from afternoon sun, which is good. I'm just not sure what to do further, though, if there is even anything that I can do! Any suggestions???? Help!
I would cut off the damaged limbs to the trunk,and try to save the Bradford Pear tree. They make terrific come backs. Even around here they are notorious for being a weak tree,due to many trunks,and are always being torn up by high winds. We have thousands of these in our area,and they are beautiful when they bloom in the spring,but always are a weak tree. I've seen these pruned back to ridiculous looking ,almost stumps,and they leaf out so you can hardly tell they were ever trimmed. Of course,it is your tree,and you can always do whatever you want to it. Phil
Thanks, Phil. I do want it to go eventually, but not until the redbud can take over the shading! I think that is my plan, to trim off the break and leave the rest--we'll see how it does. If it falls at some point, there is nothing for it to damage, so I'm not losing anything by trying. After the redbud gets some size, I'll take out the pear. I'll trim the remaining back a bit to help with weight while it's healing. I'd love to just take the pear out, but can't leave my hostas to fend for themselves!
Even taking this route, my hostas are exposed to way more sun than they were. I need to take a pic from outside so you guys can see how much of the tree top is left. I'm not sure if it is adequate coverage on it's own, now. I knew exactly how the shade moved before---now---, well, there is only half of the shade! It SEEMS to me like afternoon sun will be shaded, morning sun will be let through--it's the noon sun that I am worried about right now. A lot of the bed won't be blocked until afternoon. I'm gonna have to watch the shadows Thurs-Fri when we are supposed to be clear and 65-70 degrees. Of course, it will be different in July. Good grief...
try to save the Bradford Pear tree.
phil??? .... what are you adding to your morning coffee .. crikey.. and blimey.. all ROLLED into a ...WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ... its a pear tree that is famous for doing this .... and a carp tree...
you knew it was a problem... now its more of a problem... and you got ... really .. REALLY lucky ... there was no damage ....
there is no upside to 'saving' it.. nor 'working' with it .. GET RID OF IT ...
in the mean time.. dig out all the hosta.. and pot them.. and find some other plants for your new shade-less spot ...
i dont understand all your sun alignment words.. other than the van is east ... and i dont know how hot the sun is during the day ... but maybe you can move the pots in and out of the spot ...
you could also probably put another redbud in there.. [i dont understand why an eastcoaster is planting a TX redbud???? whats that all about????]
just GET RID OF IT .. its way past time...
ps: note the phrase capiltolized three time .. in case you missed it:
===>>>> GET RID OF IT PPS: do you know how to plant trees... see link ... ... no amending... get rid of the potting media to some extent .. untwine roots .. water deeply.. and infrequently.. letting it nearly dry in between ... etc ... and.. INSURE the rootflare is at soil level.. and i dont care if the dude who put it in the pot did otherwise ...
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Harry - That is actually what I was thinking about/asking opinions about, too. Planting more than one tree or just sticking with the redbud. It's hard to get all of the options/ideas in one or two posts, but I'm pondering all of the possibilities right now. I did lose the north side of the tree, that is correct.
Ken - Are you crazy, LOL! I am defin not turning this into a full sun bed, no way no how! I know you don't know the background and all of the rest of my .5 acre lot, but that is 75% of what I have now - full sun! Don't need anymore of that, need some shade and need to keep the shade that I have. The other shade that I do have is under Maples - aka no good for hosta growing OR there is already hosta beds in the existing areas. Not my choices on the maples, but the previous owners and not able to change that, at least not at this point in the game. If it was JUST a hosta bed, I might consider digging them up, but I have a lot of other shade plants in there too that don't want to be in pots--ferns, heucheras, tricyrtis, etc. Also, the tree shades the house, so going to full sun would not only be a very large pain in the #$$, but it would suck the life out of my energy efficiency. I really need to just recreate some shade here.
Oh, by the way, the Texas redbud actually does a bit better here with our heat/humidity than the Eastern Redbud (not to say the Eastern doesn't do well, but it does get a little limp/pitiful looking in the july/august heat, whereas the Texas redbud tends to stand up better to the onslaught, fyi). Did my research BEFORE the purchase, of course!

I'm from Texas and we don't plant Texas Redbud, at least not here in North Texas. We plant Oklahoma Redbud. Are you sure that's a good plant for your area?
Unlike Ken, I think I would try to keep the tree for it's shade value until I could get something else going. (Those Bradfords turn to carp after about 15 - 20 years) If you find you don't have enough shade for the hosta, then follow Ken's plan about pots and such.
I don't know about your area, but I've heard lots of recommendations for Little Gem Magnolia.
LOL, Texas Redbud in NC, Oklahoma Redbud in Texas--I'll bet they have Eastern Redbuds out in the west! We always want what we don't have...
Yep, I'm sure they do well here.
There are several references to it doing well here on the NC State Ag website, which is what we rely on around here for local info. Not to mention several other sources, if one were to google Texas redbud in the southeast.
I did find this link about Oklahoma vs. Texas redbuds from the Univ. of Texas that I thought was interesting:
Here is a link that might be useful: Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center Oklahoma vs. Texas, is there even a difference?
I know that Bradford Pears are weak,Ken,but around here they trim them back,almost brutally,and they come back really leafed out in no time. Yes,I know they are a bad tree,but any other tree would take forever to grow back there. Anyhow,they grow well in NC,and there are a lot of them here,just starting to bud out for the spring flowers. Just telling what I know about 'em! Funnthsun will do what she,or he wants! Phil
Funn, you could bite the bullet and buy a bigger redbud. Then plant both of them. Leave the pear tree as long as it gives some shade and take it out when the two redbuds take over.
Stupid ice storm dropped a pine on our power line. I'm always thankful for the rural electrification program.
I agree with Kathy. Redesign the bed. Dig the Hosta's put them in pots underneath your Maples out back to get them out of the way. Put the tree at the Southern point of that bed and then put back those Hosta that you can plant in the shade you have created. You could put them all back, but be prepared for burning especially in the first year they are exposed to the change in sunlight. They will get used to being in more sun, but some may still burn.
This is what I did with one of my beds. Granted it was in the back of my property. But I spend $500 on a good sized Magnolia Leonard Messel, and had it planted by a reputable nursery. It took 3 years, but it's over 20 feet tall now and gives enough shade. The pic below is when it was first installed. This is the Southern point of this bed.
Steve, I can't believe it grew that much in just 3 years!!! Got an "after" pic?
I think it's going to be OK, now that I have watched the new shade line move throughout the day. This isn't the peak of summer, but I think there is enough to still shade the bed once the tree leafs out. I'm going to stick with the original plan of planting the Texas redbud and then in a couple of years, taking out the pear completely. Whew, that was a near miss!
Unless you go big or do something else, it will take several years before there is shade.
I did some research on SHADE SAILS, which are professionally installed sculpted high-tension UV durable fabric covers that come with nice variety of poles or ground supports. It could even solve a shade problem as part of your driveway, and allow you to ACTUALLY GROW HOSTA ON YOUR DRIVEWAY. (I throw that in to pacify KEN)..... INstead of that, I've accumulated several patio umbrellas, which are moveable and fit with my pots.
In your case, I think the real McCoy is required. It will not be cheap to get a top-notch one, but it can be taken down in offseason, although I cannot say what it requires to do that.
Just look it up. You might be very pleased to use this as your redbuds etc grow to full glory.
There are several similar products to the one listed below, which is the original top of the line product I think coming from Australia where they are dealing with a rip in the ozone layer, so compare to this product and go from there. They are really beautiful things.

Scuba-Doo Underwater Motorcycle
By Mike Hanlon
Scuba (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) is an acronym we usually associate with face-masks, breathing tubes and back-mounted tanks, but the Scuba-Doo Motorised Scuba Bike opens a new dimension of underwater exploration by combining a fixed breathing dome that covers the head and shoulders with a highly-manoeuvrable, motorised underwater "motorcycle".
The obvious advantage of the ingenious design is the enclosed head area - the need for a mask or mouthpiece is eliminated by the constant replenishment of air into the clear dome that enables normal breathing.
There's also no need to wear weight-belts or an air tank as these are mounted on the Scuba Bike. Add the ability to cruise at a rate of 2.5 knots remain stationary while feeding the fish and you have a unique underwater experience open to a wider range of people than conventional diving - those who are not strong swimmers or who have minor disabilities can still ride the bike and you can wear your spectacles or contact lenses without difficulty.
Designed for operation in shallow water, Scuba-Doo can carry enough air in its tanks for approximately 1 hour, has a battery life of 1.5 hours and meets all licensing and safety requirements in Queensland.
The Scubadoo is currently only available to diving sites via a lease arrangement.
No price or date is yet confirmed for a general release.
If you're interested in trying Scuba-Doo for yourself, Great Adventures Pontoon in Cairns is currently the only site using the new device. Follow the links below to learn more.

Throughout its first three seasons, as it pushed the envelope on camping and vamping ever further, HBO's "True Blood" was a delightfully over-the-top guilty pleasure. Like many a jonesing fangbanger, I eagerly awaited Sunday night's fourth-season premiere. Unfortunately, the best thing about it was the music that rolled over the closing credits.
As earlier touted in numerous blogs, the show's consistently inventive music programmers tapped alt-country sweetheart Neko Case and the Bad Seeds' prince of darkness Nick Cave to do a new duet recording of first-wave Brit-poppers the Zombies' classic 1964 hit "She's Not There" for an episode with the same title.
"You always want to serve the show, but in the back of my mind I'm always thinking about the soundtrack," music supervisor Gary Calamar told Billboard. The script originally called for Santana's cover of the tune.

According to insiders, undefeated pound-for-pound superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants to meet Manny Pacquiao in the ring and supposedly, plans are already in play.
Always light-hearted, WBO welterweight titlist Manny Pacquiao further (and humorously) hints at Floyd Mayweather Jr. making a fight with him.
RingTV.com polled 30 experts for their picks regarding Saturday's welterweight title bout between Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri. Read on for more.
Manny Pacquiao says undefeated but unheralded challenger Chris Algieri has earned the right to face him on Nov. 22 in Macau, China. The Filipino legend says he is excited to fight so close to his home country and is confident that he'll hand Algieri his first loss.

The closer we get to fight night, the more confident Chris Algieri becomes. He faces WBO welterweight titlist Manny Pacquiao on Saturday in Macau, China.
In preparation for his upcoming bout with Manny Pacquiao this weekend, Chris Algieri employed the services of Zab Judah, a southpaw, as a sparring partner.

Enjoy!
Manny Pacquiao: "I weighed 138 when I knocked out Ricky Hatton, 142 when I stopped Oscar De La Hoya, and 144 when I scored a TKO of Miguel Cotto. Many people consider those fights some of my best, so why not go back down if that is where the bigger and better fights are going to be fought?"
Twenty-three RingTV.com insiders were asked their predictions for this weekend's Wladimir Klitschko-Kubrat Pulev heavyweight championship bout. Read on for more.
Referee Harvey Dock, who officiated Chris Algieri-Ruslan Provodnikov and Sadam Ali-Luis Carlos Abregu, provides RingTV.com with a unique, third-man perspective.

personally I'm not overly worried as I think my NM-1GE won't be impacted enough to cause issue.
Yes our engineering team is aware of firmware issues at this time and working to resolve them.
Just an FYI for those experiencing problems with this current firmware release.I just got an email from a tier 2 CSR in response to my open trouble ticket:Yes our engineering team is aware of firmware issues at this time and working to resolve them.
Well, after a reboot today, my modem downloaded a new configuration file, and the ARP packet flood is fixed!!The bad news is that my username/password to administer the SMC D3G is no longer working, nor is the default cusadmin/highspeed combination.
Thank you, NetFixer! I will call Comcast tonight, and have them reset my login credentials.
Ok...I reset my SMCD3G...my device downloaded the firmware rollback...the ARP storm is now gone...but I no longer have web interface modem access....just as reported.Does everyone have to call to regain modem access or will they stage yet another firmware update to fix that?

Three all time favorite garden shows?
Curious to know everyones' three favorite garden shows past or present? Also no fair to criticize shows or hosts, just which ones you like and why.
My three in order of preference:
A Gardener's Journal- excellent, informative and more suited to my climate.
Gardenener's Diary- also excellent, informative, more for warmer climates
Grow It-Nice, good feeling garden show, knowledgeable host
I used to love watching "In A Country Garden", because the hosts were an elderly couple who were just delightful. In one episode, they were having a pond put in, and their dogs wandered in to help. The Pekenese wasn't much of a problem, he just sort of wagged himself around here and there, and stayed out of the way, but the Labrador went right in to help lay the stone! I really miss that show.
That's about the only one I really liked. We don't get HGTV here, so the gardening programs available are really limited.

This truly is an "all-day" meat sauce, but it's almost work-free! The long, slow cooking makes even the leanest, toughest meat meltingly tender. If you prep the ingredients the night before and refrigerate, all you have to do is pop it into the crockpot in the morning and off you go!Submitted by JO_JO_BA
My variation on my mums recipe. Can either be cooked in a casserole dish in the oven or (as here) in a slow cooker, all day while you are away at work.

Mary-Claire and her husband were such lovely guests! It was really nice having them to stay. It was really great to come home and have a chat with them each day.
Great communication and wonderful guests. Left the house clean and tidy. Enjoy the rest of your wonderful adventure. It was fab to meet you both
thank you for being a nice guest; good luck in everything!
Mary-Claire and Paul were fantastic! Definitely some of our best Airbnb guests yet. We had so much in common with them that the four days they were here flew by. In fact, we had such a great time hanging out with them that we have planned to meet up next weekend in Goa, If you get the chance to host these two, do! They're a lot of fun and it's exciting to hear about their past and future adventures as they travel the world for almost a year.
Paul and Mary Clare are awesome guests, we had really nice time with them. Really respectful for the house rules and easygoing people. They are traveling around the world and they inspired us to do it one day. Actually after first day, we became friends and even after their stay we spent some more time. I am sure we will keep in touch somehow in the future. Have a nice journey.
Great guest. Good communication before and throughout the process. Respected the rules of the house including the other people and staff. I wasn't around much that week, but there were no issues. Perfect scores in each category!
Mary-Claire and Paul are the ideal hosts.Very cool and interesting people.
I had the pleasure to host them while they were on their world tour.Even if we didn't spend too much time together we had a good time.
I'm glad I met them and I hope I'll have the chance to see them again.
Mary-Claire and her husband are really nice couple, communication and arranging the details with them was smooth and easy. The apartment was left clean and in order, I would definitely host Marie-Claire again! :)
Mary-Claire and Paul are ideal guests: super tidy, friendly and nice to chat with. We wish them all the luck on their adventure!
I've had the pleasure of working and becoming great friends with Mary Claire over the last 3-4 years. She is an intelligent, responsible, warm, energetic, and caring person. We have worked together, been camp counselors and directors of extended day together for 2 years. Needless to say, I have spent many hours of the day with Mary Claire and I cannot say enough good things about her. I've also known her husband Paul for a number of years and they are both SO wonderful! I am so excited for their new adventure and hope anyone that has the opportunity to meet and get to know them during their travels is all the better for it and very blessed!

[1] We validate that changes of ground deformation recorded by GPS contain useful information for earthquake forecasting. A moving rate of variation filter is used to extract short-term signals from GPS time series in New Zealand, California, and Japan. The precursory information of these signals for large earthquakes is evaluated using Molchan's error diagram. The results suggest that the GPS signals provide a probability gain of 2–4 for forecasting large earthquakes against a Poisson model. Further tests show that the GPS signals are not triggered by large earthquakes, and that the probability gain is not derived from forecasting aftershocks. This demonstrates that noncatalog information, such as GPS data, can be used to augment probabilistic models based on seismic catalog data to improve forecasting of large earthquakes.

Study: Stop Being So Cynical, You Could Give Yourself Dementia 153
from the yeah-right-grandma dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Seems these people and the OP have already given themselves stupidity...
"What if cynicism is just an early warning sign of dementia?"
We used to call it a cranky old fart.
I'd guess that cynical or distrustful people end up with lesser social connections to other people, a factor which has already been linked [alz.org] to dementia.
A conversation, even online, is not a syllogism.
Conversation requires context and shared assumptions. Of course those are often not shared, not fully understood, there can be willful disagreement, misunderstandings, and simple sloppiness.
All of this activates the typical Slashdot amateur logicians and philosophers who set out to 'prove' the other person is ignorant, stupid, evil or all of those. A pointless exercise repeated ad nauseum.
Of course the statement you posted is 'stupid'. (technically it simply not a logically valid argument.) It is trivially 'stupid' because the word 'need', in a logical sense, allows any alternate possibility. (A stealth version of affirming the consequent.) We could reduce our dependence on foreign oil by killing 90% of the population. Oil dependence - problem solved. Oops! New problems.
TLDR: It's all in the assumptions. And yours are wrong.
Further reading: GEB, to see how even syllogisms fall apart or spiral out of control without SOME shared context and assumptions.
I'd guess that cynical or distrustful people end up with lesser social connections to other people, a factor which has already been linked [alz.org] to dementia.
I'd guess that the cynicism is an early manifestation of dementia in the people who manifest dementia!

darkness monday, my old friend.
ah, we meet again.
how was your weekend? do anything interesting?
I planned on just relaxing and doing nothing. And…I was very successful at that. Sunday was especially dreary and I swear the weather pressure messes with me, emotionally. I know, I know. I'm a grandma–"Oh the weather did it!" Guess if the shoes fits…
Luckily for my mood wings, this week will be slightly shorter (by a 1/2 day) because of Easter. It also means I'm going home to be with family for a bit, which is always uber refreshing–to just get out of the city and be in the comfort and quiet of Northern Wisconsin.
Plus, on an exciting note (like I mentioned last Friday), Ryan's home from New York today and we're hoping to go for a walk by the lake tonight (it's supposed to be 58º!), followed by…
…picking up the keys to our new apartment! Woohoo!
I'll probs do a bit of a snapchat (username: midwestlovefest, in case you wondered) video tour around the place since it will be my FIRST time ever seeing it.
Yes you read that right, first time ever visiting the apartment we are about to rent for a year. But, like I said before, Chicago real estate will do that to you. I also trust my husband a pretty crazy amount, so that helps too.
Hopefully, taking this next step forward–into leasing own apartment as a married couple–is just the start of other positive life changes (…and no, not kids). Because I could use a few happy change-ups.
Okay okay, enough of my blabbering. Just ignore my nonsense and enjoy these random links I found for you:
+this video made me cry. Some humans can be so mean, but other humans make life worth living.
+I've really been into healthy sandwiches recently and need to try this ASAP.
+THE CUTEST thing you will see all week.
+holy cow…this. Reminds me of WILD by Cheryl Strayed. More here.
+beautiful photo. #loveyobody
+too adorable. PS #onwisconsin
+one of my favorite talks by one of my favorite people. Never gets old (and NEED to get her book).
+let's never be so mature that we can't enjoy jumping on beds.
+for all you stress balls like me.
+missed SNL on Saturday, but this makes me wish I hadn't.

New MacDefender Defeats Apple Security Update 427
from the +1-or-better-update-to-hit dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Apple's security update include a new daily malware definitions update. So this is hardly the easy defeat that the description is hinting at. More like the beginning of a long drawn out war...
Hey retard, Mac Defender is the name of the malware, not Apple's counter to it, which I don't think has a name.
I have seen it attempt to get me to download it - I got hit by a google image search result where it showed me a "Finder" in Safari, with an almost convincing progress bar etc while it "scanned for viruses".
I didn't click the download button though.
So far, I'd disagree with that. The malware detection is built into the system, invisible, automatic, and self updating. So the user doesn't have to do X, Y, or even Z at all. We're still at "It just works."
Not saying that couldn't change in the future, but we're not there yet.
Not surprising at all. That's how Windows works too.
Google Image Search is EVIL
I was looking for a certain type of connector, so I google image'd it. While perusing results for something as totally bland as surface mount connectors, I suddenly got a UAC prompt. Even after canceling it, I got an icon in the taskbar. Thankfully the denied UAC kept it from getting its hooks in, and I promptly found and deleted the offending file.
Now, I won't even touch Google Image Search through a remote connection to a virtual machine running Chrome in a sandbox on someone else's network.
I was working at an ISP during that period. Before Win 95, we had to *license* Netscape, send out two floppies containing Netscape, Trumpet Winsock and a connection script on two floppies (or sell them in a box as our Internet Access Kit). When 95 came out, IE was free for the ISP, so only one floppy with a configuration script and IE. Later on, only the configuration script was needed. Since it was only one floppy and IE was free, it cost way less that way, and we saved one floppy. Besides, since everything was included in 95, it could even be done over the phone. That's what really killed Netscape IMO. Netscape 3.02 was a better browser than IE3 or IE4, but since IE was free and good enough, that's was people used, especially new costumers. Heck, I remember when we shipped Mosaic
Fuck Windows too. This is Slashdot. I have a four digit user ID. What operating system do you think I use, dipshit?
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.

A classic that will remainandreacdc98 | Feb. 9, 2015 | See all andreacdc98's reviews »
Counter Strike is one of the first FPS multiplayer shooter games, and it was a real success! This game is pretty old by now, but I assure you it still is one of the best and most fun games to play with your friends, even years after its release. The quality of the game is excellent for its age, but you can't compare it to today's technology. Anyway, I think this is still one of the best games that you can play and have fun with your friends or by yourself, playing with the bots! I recommend this to all the FPS gamers who like shooting games, such as Battlefield and Call Of Duty, because this will surely give them a good time!
A classic game that will stay forever.garocco | Feb. 7, 2015 | See all garocco's reviews »
Counter Strike is simple and lightweight, so it runs on any PC. His fame is so great that even now sells, even more than the latest version. The graphics for the time were very good, but today is already a bit outdated. The gameplay is extremely easy and certainly anyone can learn. In this game there is no campaign, only the goal of winning the war of Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists. CS was simply one of the games I played with more friends. A simple game, references to most FPSs, which until today is fame, both for fans and for beginners. Without a doubt I recommend this game to everyone, as well as being simple, easy to play and control.
A Very Good Game, Even Today!Theblas123 | Nov. 15, 2014 | See all Theblas123's reviews »
Counter-Strike, oh, Counter-Strike. Among gamer, whether they be hardcore or not, this game is a legend. Even for a quite older game, it is still being played at 1.6, even when it is at 1.8.
The graphics were quite good for the time, while today they look quite dated. With its ruff edges and low-quality textures, it's not considered the best-looking game of today. Back in the day, it was legendary what Valve did with the Quake engine and what modders did with Half-Life.
The gameplay is nothing short of frantic, strategic multiplayer fun. The multitude of guns at your disposal are very good and satisfying to shoot. The servers are filled with quickscopers wielding the AWP, so be wary.
The sounds are icons of the genre and any gamer can recognise the "Roger That" or the "I'm In Position" of your fellow teammates and the resonating gunshots of a firefight around the corner.
The game still holds up today and is an absolute blast to play and I would recommend this to any gamer.
Arguably the most popular multiplayer game ever madeGmen | Sept. 8, 2014 | See all Gmen's reviews »
This started off life as a mod for Half-Life years ago, and sees you choosing between various terrorist factions and special forces counter-terrorist groups from all over the world.
You have several maps to choose from and different game modes (like hostage rescue, bomb defusal, etc.), but the basic point of gameplay here is that you start off in one part of the map and complete various objectives in said map, all while eliminating the enemy. You also make money while you play, which you can then use in the buy zone to get new weapons and other items such as body armour. There is a time limit, so this carries on until the round has ended.
Most people will no doubt love this game for its multiplayer. There's a variety of different maps including environmental effects on the player (icy water will drain health, and snow will slow the player down so he can't run or walk as fast, and not to mention trudging through snow makes a lot of noise).
There is a single-player that you can be played with bots, and that will be challenge enough for some, but it's a game that doesn't, in my opinion, have a lot of replay-ability, particularly in single player mode. I often tire of playing it after several sessions.
Counter-Strike hasn't aged well graphically, and to be honest, there are other Counter-Strike games out there that are more modern, like CS: Source and Global Offensive. But if you want a classic multiplayer experience then Counter-Strike isn't a bad buy at all.
Old But Goldkiller92 | July 25, 2014 | See all killer92's reviews »
CS is one of the most popular FPS ever, and it's for a reason. If you haven't played CS you made one big mistake, my friend. CS is old school FPS, and that means no health recharging, no air support, no vehicles, it's just you and your gun...my friend.
This is a game of skills and little bit of luck, so the only one you can rely is you and your team. You can find a lot of mods for CS, skins and maps so you never get bored playing it.
If you don't mind a little bit older graphics this is game for you.

ABC News' Yunji de Nies reports: Senior administration officials say they are working to limit threats posed by North Korea, by focusing on better enforcement of existing sanctions, and close scrutiny of all financial transactions between the private sector and Pyongyang. "What we're trying to do is work with our partners around the world to prevent North Korea from misusing the international financial system to support its nuclear missile proliferation activities and its other criminal and illicit conduct it engages in," a senior administration official said. Speaking with reporters on background, the officials, who asked not to be named, said North Korea's recent "shocking defiance of the international community" has "galvanized very strong support." The officials said in the coming days Ambassador Phil Goldberg will lead an interagency team, which will organize various federal agencies, including the departments of State, Treasury, Commerce, and the National Security Council, to deal directly with the threats raised by North Korea. Goldberg will be focused strictly on sanctions implementation. The officials said the ambassador's team would follow the model of a similar group organized by then-Vice President Gore, headed by Leon Fuerth that dealt with sanctions on Serbia during the Balkan wars. Goldberg's team will also interact on an international level, starting with China, who has also created a similar team of its own. One official said that key regional players, including Japan, South Korea, China and Russia, are all in agreement that existing sanctions must be more effectively implemented. "There's a broad consensus about the need to have a focus and engaged effort to see that these sanctions are implemented, to make sure that each of the elements are implemented, and that we're sharing information with each other," the official said. Officials said that the efforts would not be limited to government, but that the private sector must play a key role. "There's a really important private sector component, which is that the private sector wants to protect itself from this illicit financial activity, they have a stake in the integrity of the system, and they have a stake in their own reputations," the official said. The officials would not comment on the possibility of another nuclear test by North Korea, saying only, "they have publicly threatened to do things, and so we're watching it very carefully." One official said that after North Korea's recent missile launches and nuclear test, there is a strong sense that the Chinese government is deeply concerned. "The sentiment that was expressed to me there was that a nuclear North Korea is at least as threatening and maybe more threatening to us than it is to you," the official said. "I think there is a real recognition that the consequences of North Korea going nuclear is not just a question of whether they're going to use a nuclear weapon against any one of us, but what it means for the whole security of the region. And the Chinese are profoundly aware of that. They know that an operational nuclear capability in North Korea changes the game in Northeast Asia in ways that they don't want to see." The officials said that the administration still believes that convincing North Korea to move away from pursuing nuclear weapons is "a realistic goal." They said that recognizing Pyongyang as a nuclear power is simply "off the table."

Asbestos found in plaster walls
I am under contract to purchase a home built in 1940 and we had an environmental guy come in and do some testing of lead and asbestos. He found asbestos in the plaster walls. I understand that this usually isn't a problem if the asbestos is left untouched. But what if we ever wanted to do a renovation in the home? What about adding recessed lighting? or simply hanging a picture by hitting a nail into the wall? What kind of risks, remediation, and cost would be required?
He said he would like to follow up with an air quality test to make sure the asbestos isn't getting into the home environment. Do you think this is required?
The man who is doing these tests is a distant family relative who is doing everything for me at just the cost of the lab work. So I trust his work and test results are legit.
sounds like you are getting a heck of a deal
just paying lab costs. do the air sampling, ask
him the questions you asked us.
and recessed lights are holes into hot dusty
attic. if you must use these make sure you
buy ICAT insulation contact air tight...
or you'll share air, insulation particles & voc's
from attic into the space where you live.
best of luck.
The questions are:
1 - What is the concentration of asbestos?
2 - What KIND of asbestos? (yes, there are different varieties)
The people at a high risk of asbestos-related lung cancer have the following characteristics ...
They are/were HEAVY smokers who worked in asbestos mining, worked in factories where asbestos products were made, or applied asbestos to ships and buildings before protective gear was mandatory.
they are working in the asbestos remediation industry and go from job to job ripping out that nasty crumbling asbestos pipe insulation.
Help! My asbestos plaster ceiling in my main living room collapsed last night. I sealed off the disaster area with plastic and duct tape, so that area of the house no longer poses a health hazard to my family. I need advise on how to minimize asbestos dust reaching rooms that are part of our new alternate living area through the air ducts as our central air unit continues to run regularly for this summer season. Would this be as simple as sealing off the intake ducts in the disaster area?
Oh wow! That must have been a shocker. My 1890s plaster bedroom ceiling did that to me when I was a child, Mom had the bridge club that day, so my sister and I were upstairs sitting at our table, coloring.
Mom heard a huge rumble and a bunch of thuds and NO NOISE from us as a cloud of plaster dust rolled down the stairs and out of the vents.. That really panicked her, so she and the bridge club thundered up the stairs and found us, frozen in terror, totally white with plaster dust, in a sea of plaster chunks.
The dust is more of a mechanical irritant than a long-term hazard - this is a 1-time exposure.
You fall in the area of "homeowner remediation" (the EPS finally came to their senses and realized that treating every speck of asbestos as if it were a WMD was silly.
Go to Home DEPOT and get some GOOD dust masks, rated for concrete and rock dust. (the cheap ones for lawn mowing don't block it enough). And some smallish but HEAVY DUTY trash bags.
Wear gloves and a long-sleeved snug shirt (or one of those paper painter's coveralls) ... stash clean clothes in the garage. Have shampoo and shower gel outside.
You are the "dirty" person. You stay in the dirty zone. Outside the debris field you need a "clean" person who can take clean objects to a clean area. If you start moving back and forth from dusty to clean, you'll drag all the dust with you.
1 - Seal off the air vents in the living room. Just close them and tape a sheet of plastic over them.
2 - Remove any really large pieces intact if you can. Bag them and hand them to the clean person.
3 - Working top to bottom in the debris field, pick up smaller pieces that are big enough to pick up and put them in trash bags. When one is getting bulgy, twist it shut, tie it, gooseneck the surplus and twist-tie it again. Give it to the clean person and start a new bag.
4 - When you are done with the larger stuff, start removing decor, again top to bottom, and wiping it down to get the dust off. Hand the clean things to the clean person.
You can use a vacuum cleaner for this, but start with a clean bag and change them often. The dust clogs the bags quickly and damages the motor. If you have a shop vac, put in a "drywall filter".
5 - when you are down to bare walls and large furniture, vacuum the walls, the shelves, the furniture and the floor.
Leave the plastic sheets until you have the repair done - drywall is a dirty, dusty job.
Personal cleanup:
Vacuum the worst of the dust off yourself periodically as you work, so you don't become a dust source.
6 - Go outside where the hose and soap is, strip to your undies and hose off, wash off, and wash your hair.

I wouldn't agree that one exposure to asbestos is not a big deal. When my dad was diagnosed with asbestosis he protested that he'd never used the stuff. It was months before a cousin remembered that he'd worked with my dad to remove some insulation, once, ten years before. It must have been asbestos. The risk might be low, but if you're the 1 in a 100 that gets cancer you don't care that it's low risk. One exposure is enough.
Unfortunately I now live in a old house that has an asbestos/cement garage roof. Suppose I need to check the walls too.
