Essays were my weakest subjects at school.
Essays were not my best subjects at school i could never seem to feel the way i ought to have be, but i done one in 2007 for the internet,i had to choose any subject that took my fancy, so i chose Michael Schumacher, so i started to me it was a walk in the park you could say, has i have followed/supported him since 1991 and had plenty of research to back me up, i was so excited to win a glass trophy and came in 1st prize after so many entries on him. the councillor of our local authority had choosen mine, it might be because she has been a Michael Schumacher since 2004, but for whatever reason i was very proud of myself with great support with encouragement from my son and my husband.I love entering competitions like that, i feel more at home with a subject i have studied for such a long time.I am begining to feel what i write, as if the mind was a computer data and it is logged in my throughts,no more straining with writers block it seems like the words flow through my mind and getting it just right on writing paper, as before i had think back on certain times to re-call a certain year or certain race Michael Schumacher was in.You never know one day i might decide on writing my autobiography and that certainly will be a big step forward in my career. i could quite a few chapters already if a competition went my way about my childhood days.One thing i would really love to see if a film company could turn my book into a feature film starring of course Michael Schumacher and Jean Todt.

effect on Japanese history
The notion that expansion through military conquest would solve Japan's economic problems gained currency during the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was argued that the rapid growth of Japan's population—which stood at close to 65 million in 1930—necessitated large food imports. To sustain such imports, Japan had to be able to export. Western tariffs limited exports, while...nature of pastoral nomads
The militarism of herding societies has played a major role in history. As wealthy agricultural civilizations developed in the Fertile Crescent of the ancient Middle East, in the Indus River Valley, and at the middle bend of the Huang Ho in China, they became easy prey for nomads. Indeed, it is likely that urbanization was stimulated for defensive reasons because of the dangers posed by nomads....theory of war

FULLERTON – A misunderstood joke between a teenage boy and girl left the mother of a 7-year-old boy in shock when she learned that several condolence pages had been created on Facebook claiming her only child was killed in a car accident, police said.
Patricia Quintana started getting phone calls and text messages Sunday from family and friends offering condolences for the death of her son, Javier Ramirez, a second-grader at Raymond Elementary School in Fullerton.
Quintana, who doesn't own a computer, went to a friend's house and saw there were eight pages created for "R.I.P Liddo Honest," which included pictures and a video of her son dancing. Quintana said the pictures were taken at his old school in Anaheim, but she doesn't know who took them.
"I'm not sure where the name Liddo Honest came from," Quintana, 33, said in Spanish. "The pictures were his but the name wasn't."
One page has more than 8,000 "likes."
"It was a big shock for me and my son," Quintana said. "I don't know if it was a hoax or to gain money, but I don't think people should play with that."
After receiving a police report Monday, investigators learned that the condolence page had been created after a Facebook conversation between a 14-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy who used to be in the same day care with the 7-year-old.
The 13-year-old boy had asked the girl if she knew how the 7-year-old was doing, and she jokingly replied that he had been killed in a car accident, Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said.
The 13-year-old boy "took it upon himself" to create the memorial page, Stuart said. When the girl saw the page, she attempted to message the boy to take it down, Stuart said, but he didn't respond.
"We are working with Facebook to get those pages removed," Stuart said. "In the meantime, it doesn't look like there was any criminal intent."
Quintana said the experience has left her son shaken and scared.
"My son has no idea why they did this," Quintana said. "He was sad, and he asked me if something was going to happen to him," she said.
Police say the mix-up illustrates the need for parents to monitor the online activity of their children.
"They really need to be diligent about their kids' activities on computers," Stuart said.

Hobby Lobby argues case before federal judges
Alisa Klein, a Justice Department attorney representing the federal government, argued that the idea that corporations are separate from their shareholders is bedrock of American corporate law.
She argued that if the court grants Hobby Lobby the same rights of religious freedom as individuals, it would harm its employees' rights to access preventive health measures guaranteed to millions of workers under the Affordable Care Act.
"If you make an exemption for the employer it is at the detriment of the employees," Klein said.
Hobby Lobby's case is one of several legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act's mandate on emergency contraceptives pending in federal court, but the first of its kind to be heard by a full slate of appellate court judges instead of the usual board of three judges.
The company hopes to have a ruling from the court on the matter before July 1 that will exempt the company from the health care law while its court case is pending.
The company says it will be subject to fines of up to $1.3 million each day it fails to provide emergency contraceptive coverage for employees, beginning in July, if does not comply with the law. Hobby Lobby has about 13,000 employees at more than 500 stores in the United States.
Duncan said he was encouraged by the questions the judges asked during the hearing.
"We expected these questions, and I think we answered them," Duncan said after the hearing.

PTSD and Physical Health Problems - Overview
When you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you may have physical symptoms that have no obvious cause. PTSD also may raise your risk of having other medical conditions.1
Having other conditions like depression or anxiety with PTSD also may result in having more physical symptoms.1
A Conversation With a Columbine Survivor
Marjorie Lindholm is a survivor of the 1999 school shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. Lindholm, who wrote a book titled A Columbine Survivor's Story, spoke with WebMD about her experiences and shares her advice for school shooting survivors and their loved ones.
Read the A Conversation With a Columbine Survivor article > >
Physical health problems and mental illness can occur together in a number of ways:
- Medicine used to treat a health problem may lead to a mental illness, such as depression, or make it worse. For example, depression can be a side effect of some drugs.
- Health problems and mental illness may have a common cause, such as stress.
- Health problems and mental illness can bring a sense of loss. You may feel that your life isn't the same as it was before you got sick.
- Health problems can change the quality of your life. You may go through changes at work or at home. For example, a sickness may cause you to lose your job, which can cause stress. This added stress could make your PTSD symptoms worse.
- Mental health problems can cause physical health problems and vice versa.
When you have a physical illness and a mental illness, it can be much harder to cope. Being sick can impact every area of your life. It can change how you think and feel about yourself and your relationships. It may affect your ability to work and enjoy life.
It's possible that your mental illness and health problems aren't related. If you have PTSD and also get sick, this doesn't always mean PTSD is the cause of your sickness.
Getting the right treatments for PTSD and other health conditions is the best thing you can do. Talk with your doctor and your family about how you can cope with your health problems.

This is absolute hands down the most gorgeous rug I have ever seen! Simply incredible. After reading the other reviews I expected it to be pretty but I had no idea. It has finally given my front room the look I have been wanting. I have tall 16' ceilings and lots of windows but little light due to so many trees. I wanted to brighten up and soften up the cave-like room. The color are true. I read the other reviews and people said it shed. They must have fixed the problem because I haven't even got one small piece of lint off of it. I also moved my furniture around and scooted it across the rug - no problems at all. Maybe I got lucky. I love the carving. They give it depth and dimension. I just can't say enough. I also received it in 2 days! It still says shipment "pending" on my confirmation. This is my first experience with overstock and I have already started surfing to try to find more great stuff. I just ordered an abstract painting to go with the rug. Do not hesitate on ordering this. You truly will not be sorry.
This rug looks awesome!!! our house is very contemporary house and this rug fits perfect in the modern environment. Quality is great, colors are exactly the same as on the picture. i saw exactly the same rug and size on the other website it was $599 price for this rug. Overstock delivered it very quickly too. i absolutely love it!!!!
I love this rug. It was my first choice and i am so happy with it. I wish I had ordered two! It is thick and seems fairly well made. Arrived quickly and compliments my room very nicely. Easy to clean would definitely recommend this product.
this rug is lovely. the colors are pretty brighten up my living room. it is definitely an interesting. Because it was such a good price and I love the rug so I hope that it will last few good years!!!
This product is thick doesn't need underneath rug holder. The color is great its actually darker dirty white though but because of the orange accent it makes it attractive.
This rug is very high quality. It's a great value for the money. If the gray can work with your decor, it's a home run

I don't teach my Civil War sections today, but I've passed a number of my students in the hallways. Just about all of them mentioned that Sarah Palin referenced "McClellan" as the commander in charge of American forces in Afghanistan in the debate last night. I am so proud.
I caught that too Kevin. I thought about it last night but I'm sure others here could weigh in with some interesting suggestions as to how the war against terrorism might be different if "Little Mac" were in charge. Glad your students watched the debate.
Maybe it is because you teach at a school where students do not "pass" a course with a D… Of course, this is a sexist remark and I realize that.
What would McClellan call the surge? A gentle push? A nudge?
I wonder if McClellan was ever on TV?
Gen McClellan wanted a surge, of course, while Lincoln denied him the troops he wanted.
Did she call him a copperhead?

Thank you for the depth of this series Sir, it's been enlightening.
Yep, my mistake.
Nice video. I look forward to Dzindzi's response. By the way, it is pronounced "Peerts", not "Purk". (I don't mean to be a knowitall, but since you're doing an entire series about it...)
@Deathbycross that would have to be one magical queen to move from d1 to e5 in one move.
looks good
Although I never play the Pirc I thought I'd watch it anyway because I believe to continue for me to grow as a chess player, I should view material to which I'm not familiar and see if I spot any new ideas or strategies that appeal to me, great job on the lesson!
Molner, thanks for the video, but , why do you say that white should take the d4 knight after 10 .., Nd4 ? How about not taking it?
Excellent insight into pirc
Thank you Mac for your lectures on the Perk I really learned some new ideas. Pirc, Perk, Peerz whatever.
Thanks Mac! Simple and clear explanations. You make the Pirc look easy my friend.
Dzindzi is always right!
Good lecture, but please correct the pronunciation of Pirc - it is "peerz" not "peerk" (it's the same for other slovenian players like Planinc :P )
Good job. Play a game with Dzindzi:)
di GM Mackenzie Molner
There's nothing to fear but fear itself! IM Mackenzie Molner takes his life in his hands by challenging the Dzindzinator's recommendation for a white advantage (parts 1 and 2 of this very series), when he claims good counter-play and rough equality for black with his own recommended system against white's 5.h3 variation. His creative ideas behind the a6-pawn advance are highly interesting and worth taking notes on...

Location | India, Uttaranchal |
Central coordinates | 79o 58.00' East 30o 21.05' North |
IBA criteria | A1, A2 |
Area | 62,462 ha |
Altitude | 2,100 - 7,817m |
Year of IBA assessment | 2004 |
Site description The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is situated in the Kumaon and Garhwal regions of Western Himalayas, in the districts of Chamoli, Pithoragarh and Almora. It covers an area of 586,069 ha, with two core zones, the Nanda Devi National Park (62,462 ha) and Valley of Flowers National Park (8800 ha), and an outer buffer zone of 514,857 ha. Here we consider only the Nanda Devi NP as an IBA. The Valley of Flowers NP has been considered as a separate IBA. The Sanctuary is one of the most spectacular wilderness areas in the Himalayas. Nanda Devi (7,817 m), a natural monument, and India's second highest peak, stands high above the basin of the Rishi Ganga river, which has cut for itself one of the finest gorges in the world. Unlike many other Himalayan areas, it is largely free from human settlement and has remained unspoiled due to its inaccessibility, particularly the forests of the lower Rishi Valley. Nanda Devi National Park meets Criteria (iii) and (iv) of the World Heritage Convention, based on its exceptional natural beauty and populations of rare and threatened mammals (IUCN Technical Evaluation). Access to Nanda Devi National Park is very difficult, due to a series of high ridges with peaks such as Lata, Jhandidhar, Dunagiri, Kalanka, Rishiparvat, Nanda Devi East, Nanda Khata and Trishul, which also form the boundary of the core zone. Thus, not only is Nanda Devi protected by law, but its geographic features act as an effective obstacle to human and livestock entry.
Key Biodiversity
AVIFAUNA: A total of 112 bird species has been recorded from Nanda Devi, 83 within the Biosphere Reserve and 29 around Joshimath and the oak forest at Auli (Sankaran 1995). Sankaran (1995) found that species richness was highest in temperate forests with 47 species (37%), 24 of which were seen only in this habitat dominated by oak, fir, birch and rhododendron. The species richness of this habitat is likely to be much higher, as this was the least surveyed of all habitat types. Sub-alpine forest ranked next in species richness with 43 species recorded by Sankaran (1995), 18 of which were seen only in this habitat type. Nine species (8%), from a total of 32 recorded, were exclusive to the alpine pastures. Only 20 species (8 exclusively) were recorded in degraded forest and agricultural land. This indicates that the majority of species found in this Park are specialists requiring primary forest cover (Sankaran 1995). Almost all species of avifauna in the Himalaya show altitudinal migration, ascending to subalpine and alpine areas in summer to breed, and descending to temperate and tropical areas in the winter. Three species of pheasants are reported from this Park: Cheer Pheasant Catreus wallichii, Himalayan Monal Lophophorus impejanus and Koklass Pheasant Pucrasia macrolopha. While the former is globally threatened, and considered Vulnerable by BirdLife International (2001), the latter two are still common in the Western Himalayas. Other Galliformes include Snow Partridge Lerwa lerwa and Himalayan Snowcock Tetraogallus himalayensis (Sankaran 1995). Sankaran (1995) did not find Cheer Pheasant during his survey of the higher reaches of Nanda Devi, but it is reported from slopes near Reni village. Nanda Devi NP lies in the Western Himalayas (Endemic Bird Area 128) (Stattersfield et al. 1998). In this EBA, a suit of 11 species has been listed, of which only two species could be found here. However, as Sankaran (1995) has pointed out, further studies are required to provide a comprehensive bird list for this interesting site. This site has been designated an IBA on the basis of A1 and A2 criteria, but it could qualify under A3 (biome-restricted assemblage) also.
OTHER KEY FAUNA: The most important mammal is the Snow Leopard Uncia uncia, which occurs in the alpine and subalpine zones. Its main natural prey is Blue Sheep Pseudois nayaur, Musk Deer Moschus chrysogarter and Himalayan Tahr Hemitragus jemlahicus. Tak and Kumar (1987) and Sathyakumar (1993) have described general wildlife, especially mammals.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: WINNER OF THE 2014 SAMUEL ELIOT MORISON AWARD FOR NAVAL LITERATURE In 1968, a small, dilapidated American spy ship set out on a dangerous mission: to pinpoint military radar stations along the coast of North Korea. Packed with advanced electronic-surveillance equipment and classified intelligence documents, the USS Pueblo was poorly armed and lacked backup by air or sea. Its crew, led by a charismatic, hard-drinking exsubmarine officer named Pete Bucher, was made up mostly of untested sailors in their teens and twenties. On a frigid January morning while eavesdropping near the port of Wonsan, the Pueblo was challenged by a North Korean gunboat. When Bucher tried to escape, his ship was quickly surrounded by more patrol boats, shelled and machine-gunned, and forced to surrender. One American was killed and ten wounded, and Bucher and his young crew were taken prisoner by one of the worlds most aggressive and erratic totalitarian regimes. Less than forty-eight hours before the Pueblos capture, North Korean commandos had nearly succeeded in assassinating South Koreas president in downtown Seoul. Together, the two explosive incidents pushed Cold War tensions toward a flashpoint as both North and South Korea girded for war—with fifty thousand American soldiers caught between them. President Lyndon Johnson rushed U.S. combat ships and aircraft to reinforce South Korea, while secretly trying to negotiate a peaceful solution to the crisis. Act of War tells the riveting saga of Bucher and his men as they struggled to survive merciless torture and horrendous living conditions in North Korean prisons. Based on extensive interviews and numerous government documents released through the Freedom of Information Act, this book also reveals new details of Johnsons high-risk gambit to prevent war from erupting on the Korean peninsula while his negotiators desperately tried to save the sailors from possible execution. A dramatic tale of human endurance against the backdrop of an international diplomatic poker game, Act of War offers lessons on the perils of covert intelligence operations as America finds itself confronting a host of twenty-first-century enemies. Synopsis:"Passionate, cantankerous, and fascinating. Rather like Korea itself."--Nicholas D. Kristof,
Synopsis:'\"Passionate, cantankerous, and fascinating. Rather like Korea itself.\" \"Nicholas D. Kristof, New York TimesBook Review\n
' Synopsis:In his immensely illuminating and accessible history (Kirkus Reviews), Bruce Cumings delivers a memorable narrative of Korea's fractured modern history. Beginning with an overview of the cultural and political traditions of this accomplished civilization, Cumings dwells on Korea's long twentieth century, a period of colonial exploitation by Japan, war, and national division. His chapters on the Korean War show clearly just how close the world came to a nuclear holocaust. He then explores the economic resurgence and political turmoil that keep Korea in the headlines. Finally, he traces the significance of the Korean migration to the United States.
A leading American authority on modern Korea... catches the excitement of a country that has been at the peaks and troughs of East Asian history in the twentieth century. — Economist -- An elegantly informative account of Korea's convulsive transformation ... into a nation. — Kirkus Monthly Synopsis:Korea has endured a "fractured, shattered twentieth century," and this updated edition brings Bruce Cumings's leading history of the modern era into the present. The small country, overshadowed in the imperial era, crammed against great powers during the Cold War, and divided and decimated by the Korean War, has recently seen the first real hints of reunification. But positive movements forward are tempered by frustrating steps backward. In the late 1990s South Korea survived its most severe economic crisis since the Korean War, forcing a successful restructuring of its political economy. Suffering through floods, droughts, and a famine that cost the lives of millions of people, North Korea has been labeled part of an "axis of evil" by the George W. Bush administration and has renewed its nuclear threats. On both sides Korea seems poised to continue its fractured existence on into the new century, with potential ramifications for the rest of the world.
About the AuthorBruce Cumings is chairman of the history department at the University of Chicago and the author of Korea's Place in the Sun. He divides his time between Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Chicago.

Bistable phase-conjugate reflectivity controlled by a forward pump beam
JOSA B, Vol. 14, Issue 10, pp. 2664-2669 (1997)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (212 KB)
One of the typical methods to generate the phase-conjugate beam is four-wave mixing with a photorefractive crystal. It is known that the phase-conjugate reflectivity shows the bistability in some cases. Analyzing the temporal property of four-wave mixing, we offer a new method to control the bistable phase-conjugate reflectivity, and we perform an experiment of the bistability control by the method. An equation to obtain the threshold value of the coupling strength for showing the bistability is derived by a steady-state analysis of four-wave mixing, and the temporal property of four-wave mixing is studied with two different initial conditions that are used for letting the phase-conjugate reflectivity

Wii U Sells 40,000 Units During UK Launch
Wii U 0 Comments
It's been reported that there were approximately 40,000 Wii U systems sold during the console's launch weekend in the UK, making it near enough a sellout.It was initially suggested that Nintendo would only allow 25,000 unitsu to be sold during the UK launch, but this was raised to just above 40,000. Outside of the initial shipment, it's been stated that stock is only expected to trickle" in for the remainder of the year.
This seems to be a popular strategy for Nintendo, as previous consoles have also struggled to meet demand. Analysts have suggested that had Nintendo made more consoles available for launch, they probably would have sold more. However, this would lead to less talk of the console being a sellout, and would create less demand for the platform.
Aside from the 40,000 console sales, it's estimated that there is a software attachment rate of more than 2 games per system and that's without taking consideration any purchases from Nintendo's Wii U eShop.

Those photos were taken at Leu Gardens about a month or so after the 12/89 freeze. I wasn't working here then. I found these in the old slide collection, the only photos documenting the freeze damage.
I've seen these before. Either those aren't mostly pure revoluta or they saw colder than 19f. That's for sure. Of course that queen kicked the bucket it's a baby and in an open location, plus the pictures indicate below 19f.
Posted 27 July 2010 - 06:21 AM
It couldn't been much below 19-20F as tropicals that survived would have been killed. We have large specimens of Ceiba speciosa, Bischofia javanica and Kigelia africana that survived. They were killed back to the stump but regrew quickly and are large mature trees again. Also had an Arenga pinnata and an Attalea rostrata actually survive these freezes. Also, Arenga engleri only suffered moderate burn and Arenga ryukyuensis wasn't damaged. Any lower and they would have been killed back or damaged, same with Rhapis humilis.

Cycas revoluta all ove town were defoliated. They weren't in '83 and '85. It may have been the rapid drop and having frozen rain on them for awhile.
There is clearly something unique about that storm. Those palms are what I call "flash frozen" and look the way plants up here do sometimes, if they are marginal. This was a nearly instant death. You can tell how crispy they are after a month. This should taken much longer to look this bad. Still very telling.

Same thing here in Northwest Houston, most of the queens defoiliated, but survived, after a low of 17ºF. Sagos did fine.Regarding the queen palm debate, all I know is that most of the queen palms around San Antonio did NOT, repeat not, die from 16F this past winter. In fact my area may have got as low as 14 or 15 and a large majority survived. I would guess about anywhere from 75-90% of the trunking queens, and maybe 50%-70% of the juveniles survived. Some died, but far less than I expected. All defoliated, some did not push spears until late May or early June, but most recovered. The day after we hit 16, it was bright and sunny and warmed above freezing fairly rapidly, so maybe we lucked out in that aspect.

I think its a Jamaican Talls-- older ones I had a friend in Jupiter Farms ( western Northern Palm Beach county --- he had planted the newer Malayan --- This was 84 --- the 85 freezes killed bothe. There was a big older Jamaican tall down the street (only one in Neighbor hood. THis place was far enough out in the boonies (at the time) so that it didnt get affected by lethal yellowing. He moved in to bigger digs in the 90's and the tree was still there.
Ray--- I remember the 81 freeze -- it got down to 14F here in Jax. It didnt kill much tho-- I had a bunch of friends that lost engine blocks ( never used anti freeze) There was a pymgmy date palm in front of library down town that wasnt bothered. No winds or gale forces like 83 and 85---
The high winds in 83 along with the 11F killed every thing like Pygmies and Paurotis here in Jax.

They grow durian on Hainan, so I don't think anything near freezing has ever been recorded on Hainan, at least at sea level.Any info on the survivability of coconut types other than malayan? I'm testing out as many varieties as I can to find which is the hardiest. Pretty soon I should be getting a type from New Delhi, where the winters are almost identical to Central Florida. Coconuts from Hainan island in China are also supposed to withstand freezes and frost, but they seem to be harder to get. Has anyone ever tried one of those? Once I am older and have enough money to take a trip over there, I will make sure to bring back some sprouts.
Just my 2 cents,

Supposedly they get some pretty nasty cold fronts that come in and bring temps below freezing. That's just what I've read. I think the coconuts from north inland India may be the better of the 2, but I haven't found any studies comparing them

I was in 7th grade at that time. i remember a freeze around that time but it must have not been too severe. I remember our hibiscus and crotons freezing back and selloum leaves getting damaged but they grew back. The only tender palms I was growing or that was in our yard then was a big clump of Dypsis lutescens by the pool and an Archontophoenix alexandrae in the back yard and neither must have been too much bothered as they were alive and got whopped/killed 2 1/2 years later in Dec. 1983. It must have been a brief dip as other tropical palms/trees around town also didn't seem much damaged until '83. A hotel that was down the street had a huge Pandanus utilis which got killed in '83. I always rode my bike over to look at it and some tall Archontophoenix cunninghamiana and Ptychosperma elegans in some neighbors yards.
I will have to see if I can dig up the low for Orlando then.

I have been told that many of the queens that used to be planted, at least in FL, prior to the killing freezes of the 1980's were more tender types from the warmer parts of its native habitat. Since then a lot of seed were collected off the survivors and that is what a lot of post 1989 plantings have been grown from. There were some survivors after 12/89 around here and a few that were not even damaged. They were always the bulkier, thick trunked specimens.
Disney had planted a few dozen of the Santa Catarina types after the 1/85 freeze and these were the only survivors following the 12/89 freeze. So they grew others from these seeds.
So does that mean, I'm off to Sea World to collect some coconuts...? Oh, BTW, the two cocos by the fishbones restaurant, the one furthest from the building croaked but the other survived.

The lowest low (27.36 F) was recorded on January 12th, the last day of the 12-day streak. Also, there were three days in this period where the daytime highs never got out of the 40s! Only once in 12 years has my daytime temperature not got out of the 40s, and that was back in January of 2001, I think around the 5th, when I recorded my all-time low of 22 degrees during a radiational freeze.
This past January, even many zone 10+ palms and shrubs (mainly coconuts and adonidias), etc., around the lakes were cold damaged. Normally, during a 1-2 night shot of arctic air under almost always radiational cooling condtitions, the zone 10+ palm around the lakes are undamaged.
However, the protracted cold spell finally reduced the lake water temperatures down to a point where there was little nighttime heat to give off to the surrounding areas.
While the lakes are probably the best locations (except for extreme high ground locations) during radiational cooling events here in deep inland central Florida, they don't have the thermal inertia as the Atlantic and Gulf.
There are two older coconut palms up in town (150 feet above sea level) that I always check after each freeze event. I've been doing that for 12 years now. Only once before (not counting this past January) have I seen these palms cold/frost damaged.
This past January they were cold damaged and are now growing back new, but stunted fronds. But I believe these palms will eventually grow normally again.
In my travels throughout my county I've noted lots of damaged mature coconut palms, but also many dead ones. Most of the dead coconut palms were growing in nice microclimate locations and were normally not hurt during 1-2 night radiational cooling events. However, again, I think they ultimately succumbed to 12 straight days of abnormally low temperatures.
I have a very small coconut palm. It has maybe 3 feet of trunk. I don't know the variety of this coconut, but it's smaller in stature than most. Also, IMO, it's been a slow grower.
In any event, my coconut palm survived the 12 straight days of cold. The crown (all the fronds) were completely fried. However, I protected the trunk and growth bud by wrapping them with EasyHeat flexible heating cables, and then wrapping a mover's quilted blanket around the trunk to hold in the heat given off by the heating cables.
I also did this with my mature adonidia palm and bottle palm. The fronds got fried but the trunk and growth bud incurred no cold trauma. Supplemental heat and insulation around the trunk is the key to preventing freeze death of a coconut, adonidia, etc., palm. While the fronds may be killed, the trunk and root system goes undamaged, and there's enough food/starch storage in the trunk and root system to rapidly start regeneration a new crown come spring.
The above photo shows two coconut palms in town (at 150 elevation above sea level) showing cold damage on the lowest, oldest fronds. But as the days went by more and more leaves turned brown. This protracted cold spell has hurt these palms more than any other single-night freeze event ever did.
The above photo shows the same two coconut palms as they look now (after more extensive cold damage), recovering from the cold. I noted the newer fronds are somewhat stunted, indicating cold damage to the growth bud.
The above photo shows my small coconut palm after the freezes. While there is still green in some of the fronds, as the days went by most of the green tissue died and turned brown. Note the heating cables wrapped around trunk.
The above photo shows my small coconut palm now. So far it has only re grown four fronds (with a nice healthy spear coming out). However, the new fronds are not stunted, obviously because the palm didn't receive direct cold trauma to the growth bud and trunk, due to the heating cables and insulation that protected it.
The bay trees that were once in back and to the right side of my coconut palm (shown in preceeding photo) died of laurel wilt disease that is ravaging Florida right now. I cut them down since last January.

Looking good Walt. I have seen an odd mix of damage around here. Some were damaged like yours, where all the leaves were burned, but the emerging fronds weren't stunted, and some had zero foliar damage, but the fronds that emerged after the cold were severely stunted, and of course the ones with 100% foliar damage and emerging stunted fronds. I've also seen a handful of coconuts that show no signs of a winter (zero foliar damaged and perfect emerging fronds). Those are much less common though, but it's a nice treat to find them! (what's even cooler is seeing one of these undamaged ones next to one killed outright by the freeze, then you know that the one tree must have had great genetics)
Yes, there sure was an odd mixture of cold damage. I have some Archontophoenix cunninghamiana palms with basically undamaged older fronds (that went through the 12-day cold spell, yet the new fronds ere stunted and ragged. I think the prolonged cold just affected the meristem. This is the opposite of what Dr. Tim Brochat of U. of Fla. told me in a lecture I attended some months ago. He said foilage was more cold tender than the meristem. I sure plan to apprise him of this contradiction the next time I get to talk to him.
I also think the prolonged cold affected the below coconut palm (at a residence in town). Note the date stamp of 01/11/2010. This was the 11th day of the cold period, and that night (the 12th) was the coldest night of that period. Note the palm appears unscathed (so far).
Above: Small coconut palm in town the day before the coldest night of the 12-day cold event. Note green fronds.
The same coconut palm on July 28, 2010. Note lots of still green foliage.
Close up of same coconut palm. I'm not sure if the top most fronds have been cut off, rotted off, or what. In any event, it doesn't look good. I doubt if this palm survives.

Walt, that coconut with the stunted leaves is suffereing from Manganese deficiency, "frizzletop". Often in coconuts its caused by cold weather as the roots shut down and it is unable to uptake nutrients.Those leaves were the ones forming during the cold event. It should grow out of it. That palm would probably benefit from a good, balanced fertilizing.
Eric: Yes, I've read in numerous palm books that palms, especially zone 10+, due to winter (cold) soil temperatures, can't adequately take up minerals, and that's why I see lots of potassium deficiency in species like Dypsis lutescens.
But with regard to manganese deficiency to the coconut palm in town, what is left unexplained is why my small coconut palm doesn't exhibit manganese nor potassium deficiencies, and my soil was presumably just as cold!
The only variable (to my knowledge) between the coconut palm in town and mine, was that I protected my coconut's trunk and meristem with supplemental heat and insulation. So, I would presume there's some kind of correlation here, i.e., my palm, not incurring cold trauma to the trunk and meristem, must have been able to draw more efficiently the stored minerals in the trunk and root system and direct it to the meristem and new frond production.
In any event, I'm convinced now (after many winters of experimentation) that protecting the a palm's trunk and meristem (even if one can't protect the fronds) all but guarantees that the palm will survive. On caveat, though, when employing the use of heating cables one must use discretion and caution, as the cables, if used excessively (too many lineal feet of cable on the palm's trunk) and for too long, can heat damage the palm.

However, you can have success growing them almost anywhere in Florida if you follow these tips:
- DAILY summertime irrigation is a must, as these guys do not like dry soil at all.
- Liquid copper fungicide is also a must, as regular treatments will make them more cold tolerant and less succeptable to fungus, brown spots, skeletonizers, and the hundred other things in Florida that will eat away at the leaves of these things if you do not treat them.
- Soil temperature MUST and I mean MUST be kept above 50 F most of the time, and never be allowed to drop below 40 F....the most common thing I see that wipes out most of the inland coconut palms here in the Tampa Bay Area is that we get repeated cold fronts and the soil becomes too wet and cold. So the coconuts will immediately show signs of frond rot/rust, until the whole tree just whithers away within a week or two. Unless you live in coastal Miami or south, you MUST run an outdoor-certified heat cable around the top of the rootball of the palm from December to March, which will not only heat the soil but keep it from getting waterlogged in the winter time. Most of them have a sensor that will automatically kick them in if the soil temp drops below 75 or 80 degrees F...it would be helpful to purchase good ones that have a thermostat so you can set the sensor to 65, you will recoup the higher cost of the better cables on your electric bill within a couple of months, because here in Central FL they will be running 24x7 for 2-3 months if they are set to 80
- You MUST take measures to properly protect them from ALL freezes or temps below 40 F, exposure to a single freeze will effectively kill the palm.
This is what I do, and have never lost a coconut (and have actually been able to keep mine looking pretty good despite the 2010 cold):
For young palms smaller than 10' tall:
In early December, I treat the whole palm thoroughly with a liquid copper fungicide, install an outdoor heat coil around the base of the palm about 1" below the soil, and set the thermostat so that the coils will kick on whenever the soil temperature gets below 65 degrees. At this time, I also build a PVC frame around the whole tree, and wrap the trunk, heart, and lower part of the canopy with C4 Christmas Lights. It won't be an attractive sight for a few months, but trust me, it is the only way you will keep these suckers alive around here. Any night that it is forecast to get below 40 degrees outside, I turn on the C4 Christmas Lights and drape a big frost cloth over the whole PVC frame that was built, being sure to steak all edges of the frost cloth to the ground with metal steaks so the wind does not penetrate the structure. This combination of stuff usually keeps the coconut about 10-15 degrees warmer than the air temperature, I have actually observed this with temperature sensors...even if it gets down to 30 degrees outside, the palm is still only exposed to around 40-45 degree temps in its little microclimate that we built, even warmer around the heart of the palm if you wrap it really good with the warm light bulbs. Be sure to uncover the palm from the frost cloth in the morning as soon as the air temperature gets back into the 50's. The outer part of the fronds (the parts closer to or touching the edges of the microclimate) will usually take a bit of cold damage during a hard freeze, but keeping the heart of the palm and the roots warm with the combination of soil heating cable and C4's with frost cloth is the key to successfully overwintering a coconut. If the palm has taken some damage from the cold, be sure to immediately treat it with another treatment of liquid copper fungicide. That stuff is like CPR for cold-damaged palms, I have seen them virtually come back from the dead after being treated with it.
For bigger palms that are well established:
These are a lot more work, because the palms are too big to be able to build a complete microclimate over top of them. I do the same magic with the heating coils and liquid copper in December, which in itself gives coconuts a MUCH better chance of making it through the winter. I also install the C4 Christmas Lights over the trunk, heart, and lower canopy of the palm as before (only I usually need a big ladder to get up there with taller trees, very time consuming). Every time it is forecast to get below 40 degrees, I turn on the C4's, wrap the whole trunk with a few layers of Burlap, tie the canopy fronds up with padded rope (NOT STRING!) and drape a frost cloth over the canopy of the palm. I then secure the bottom of the frost cloth around the trunk of the palm on top of the burlap. Not quite as efficient as the microclimate that I build for smaller palms, but will at least protect the most important part of the coconut (the heart and lower canopy and the roots). Despite the efforts above, they will still usually take some cold damage, but will almost always recover unless it stays rediculously cold for several consecutive days like it did in 2010. Again, be sure to immediately treat any cold damage with liquid copper fungicide. You will need to uncover the palms every morning and re-cover them every night that it is cold. Do not get lazy with this, if you leave it exposed to near-freezing temps for even a single night it will likely fry the palm.
With bigger coconuts, protecting them like I do gets very time consuming and is a lot of work, just depends on how badly you want to successfully grow one outside of their natural habitat. You could probably grow a coconut as far north as Jacksonville if you are willing to invest the time to protect it from the cold like I do. But you have to be willing to get out there and spend an hour or more wrapping them up on every single cold night, which can be many consecutive nights for many months if you live in the northern part of the state. If you are not willing to protect them, then don't even waste your time trying to grow one, stick with something a little more cold tolerant like a Queen Palm or cold-hardy King Palm.
One thing I should mention though, if coconuts are exposed to repeated cold temperatures, they will typically either refuse to bear fruit, or the fruit will not have time to completely ripen before they sccumb to the cold. So while you can keep the tree itself looking good, you will typically not be able to use them for a reliable source of coconuts anywhere north of Miami.
Hope this helps,

Yeah I can't speak much for the East Coast because I live on the West. I know I have seem them up in Coco Beach, but from what I have heard those ones have been frequently replanted. They order up mature ones from nurseries in and around Miami that already have several feet of solid trunk on them. The only ones I can personally speak of are in Stuart. They took a real beating in early 2010 and looked like telephone poles. A few of them started coming back that summer, but the subsequent freezes that same December finished them off...they ended up dying from the fungus and disease that inevitably resulted from the cold damage, and the people I know that live there never bothered replanting them. They replaced them all with mature Cuban Royals.
Here in the Bay area we have lots of them right at the beach in and around Clearwater and further South. The warmer Gulf keeps the surface air (and more importantly, the soil) moderate enough to survive. We used to have them North as well all the way up to Tarpon Springs, but most of those bit the dust in the 80's and 90's and were never replanted, and what was left (even the very mature ones) bit the dust in 2010. The city now goes with hardier and less-maintenance palms like Sylvester Dates and that sort of thing. Most cocos you find in Tampa Proper now are in the backyards of people like me that protect them and better understand their nutritional needs, because they don't last very long unprotected. After the 2010 event, the only ones I know of that are inland, unprotected, and still doing reasonably well here are on Main St. in Dunedin, close to the Mease Hospital. They are planted right outside of a self-serve car wash that stays pretty busy all year, so the combination of the warm blowers and water from the garage on one side, and the traffic from the busy road on the other keeps them going. I have some in the Westchase area, but even here I have to do a lot of extra work to protect them. They have never fruited, because they always spend the whole summer recovering from damaged fronds from the previous winter. By the time they regenerate their whole canopy and start to look healthy again, it is time for more cold fronts. When they get big, it becomes very difficult economically to protect more than just the rootball and terminal bud. Further inland they are nonexistent, because the temperature during the cold fronts seems to drop 5 more degrees for every 10 miles North and/or East of here you get. Even within the city itself, you get a significant variance...there are times where my house will be in the high 30's and my colleagues up in Lutz or Temple Terrace will be hovering around freezing temps and have frost. It is not uncommon for Tampa to be 40 degrees and Cirtus County, only 30-40 miles North of here, will be in the low 20's or teens. You can drive from Zone 10 (Bradenton/St. Pete) to Zone 8b/9a in an less than an hour. So to sum it up, generally speaking where you live in the Tampa Bay area plays a very significant role in how successful you can be with any sort of tropical landscaping. The climate here is very unique, and can be very frustrating. The cold fronts land most of the city in Zone 9 on the hardiness chart, but as a whole the heat and humidity the other 95% of the year makes us a subtropical climate that is otherwise considered very much Zone 10. So the choices of landscaping are somewhat limited....pure Zone-8b/9 stuff doesn't do well here, because it is too hot and humid most of the year, and we don't get enough chill hours to make anything grow or bloom properly. On the other hand, the purely tropical stuff that loves our spring/summer/fall heat and humidity here will not tolerate any frost. So you have to keep a lot of spare sheets, frost cloth, the old non-LED style Christmas Lights around

I'm pretty much on the northern edge for winter survival of coconuts. I'm near the coast but not actually on the Gulf. They can survive a bit further north near saltwater, i.e., Matlacha, Pine Island. But they are few to none from northern Cape Coral and up. They also aren't found much further east of me, i.e., east Fort Myers & Lehigh Acres, which has a 9b climate.

Northern Virginia |
Piedmont |

Southwest |
Tidewater |
The Valley
Virginia's Piedmont is the gently rolling land between the mountains and the Tidewater. As its name implies, it begins at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and extends eastward, becoming less undulating the closer it comes to the fall line. It contains one city, Fredericksburg, and one large market town, Charlottesville. Although its eastern and northern boundaries increasingly form part of Richmond and Washington's suburban sprawl, the Piedmont is largely rural, known for its horse and cattle farms, and for the production of much of the state's corn and wheat. Nevertheless, it is also known as the site of many of Virginia's notable historic events.
Governor Spotswood and the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe began their expedition in 1716 from Germanna Forge in Orange County, where they had procured a large quantity of iron horseshoes necessary for the mountainous terrain. At Cuckoo Tavern in Louisa County, Jack Jouett began his ride to warn Governor Thomas Jefferson and the Virginia legislature, temporarily meeting in Charlottesville, of the approach of Colonel Tarleton and his dragoons. From Fredericksburg to the Blue Ridge many Civil War skirmishes and battles were fought to a bloody conclusion, including the Wilderness Campaign and the Battle of Brandy Station, the largest cavalry battle ever fought in North America. The Piedmont also contains many historic homes displaying the evolution of American architecture and decorative arts in the South and generating tourist interest. Between historic sites, agribusiness, and premier humanities and science research facilities such as Monticello, the University of Virginia, and Mary Washington University, the Piedmont continues to serve in the heart of the Commonwealth.

is it better than blender???
i pretty much like playing a heap of games i love downloading mods and mapping i do 3D modeling and most of my stuff is low poly so i prefer modeling for the older engines or for hand helds
is it better than blender???
i don't use MSN or Skype for development mainly because of time zone differences
bit hard when you live in Australia and there's a massive time difference in America
so i email or i use forums
over 9000 thousand became internet famous by vegita the character from DBZ
its a quote he yells out
Youtube it
your working with blender aye
bloody good for your first map
hey guys if you want some tricks on how to make some really good terrain
look at halo solitude they have a few videos demonstrating there map creation and as you probably no they are also using the quake engine
don't no what editor they use though
how are you going with the lighting
yeah its really more for the multi tasking bit with a game your really only running at most 2 programs (the game and steam or X fire)
so you know where the exe is ???
hope baker comes back soon
are you guys gonna sell it or is it gonna become a free indie
Killing floor was an unfinished ut2004 mod/free indie and now its on steam for $20
i really dont mind if you guys are keeping it free or selling over steam
this is so weird
i remember finding an old CD that my brother made when he was younger it contained Duke Nukem 3D and a catalog. there was a file named "PREY" this was like 1 year before PREY was released and the cd was made well before i found it but this file held screen shots of this exact game
i remember prey was going to be an amazing game in 1997 but was never released
could someone plz explain???
i think commuication is really easy now that we have google translate
i received an email from vugame and it was in a different language
i figured it out straight away
just getting your point across can be hard with out the pitch and expresion
hope im not annoying you ut how many people are uasally online
looks pretty good but allot of the games i download turn out to have empty servers
this is so weird you look at HL2 and it has decent graphics and ya look and doom3 it also has decent graphics
you look at ut2004 its **** yet they were made all in the same year
and is it really all about quality and graphics what about game play and enjoyment
i used to love playing it with my friend this game rocks XD
LOL it all started in a small garage and turned out to be a very powerful engine
sorry i have to agree with Calmon
none the less it is 3D just has no textures
Hey wheres australia
Yes we survive XD
this is a great simple game i really enjoy playing it
would have been a great game looking at the pictures
with the quake engine will you beable to release map packs
that would be awsome
thats very creative i love it
where da get doom 2 from
(need a download link ID wont give it to me (well its 20 bucks)and ya cant get it in stores no more)

The following release is from Motorsports Vision...MCE INSURANCE BRITISH SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP
Four times World Superbike Champion Carl Fogarty will be reunited with the manufacturer with which he achieved his greatest success by taking to the track at Oulton Park onboard a Ducati 848 race bike during this weekend's MCE British Superbike Championship finale.
Carl will take part in a track demonstration around the majestic 2.69 miles parkland circuit to promote the Ducati 848 Challenge which, following its inaugural year, will expand to include selected BSB Championship events in 2011.
Carl, whose racing career was abruptly and prematurely curtailed in an accident in Philip Island, Australia, last rode for Ducati in 2000 after clinching four world titles and 55 of his 59 WSB race wins for the famous Italian marque, and few will forget the halcyon days of Carl onboard a Ducati in front of 120,000 adoring fans year after year at Brands Hatch.
Oulton Park also figured prominently in Carl's British Championship career as the circuit most local to his native Blackburn home, and he is honoured permanently at the Cheshire venue with the naming of the Fogarty Moss Centre, which serves as the venue's administration and hospitality facility.
The new Ducati 848 Evo twin cylinder Supersport machine has received rave reviews, being described by Motorcycle News as "an exquisite machine" and "there's nothing the Evo can't do". Further details of the 2011 Ducati 848 Challenge will be announced during this weekend's title deciding final round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park.
Carl Fogarty will take to the track at 14.45 on Sunday 10 October.
