I think it is great that you can turn raw native material into finished stock. The first time I actually witnessed this type of manufacturing was with Rob at a arborist show a few years back. Very interesting and noisy, head phones were really helpful. I suppose the biggest problem is dealing with foreign objects in the raw stock, however metal detectors seem to lessen the chance of damage or injury. I look forward to more finished items in the future

How quickly can you turn the finished material into saleable material or finished product, like to make furniture or cabinets?.

Do you have standing orders for either ATM? The results look good from here.

I believe that having the ability to seek work for a period of Two weeks before your funds run out is totally unrealistic. Anything can and will happen, especially when it comes to sudden needs for funds that are unplanned for. If your living at home and have zero out of pocket expenses, other than personal expenses, I would still recommend having at least 6 months reserve funds available at a bare minimum. Considering the shear number of students that have completed various training courses through out the UK, at times it seems to me that the market place would be flooded with entry level positions. Take care.

FYI, the 40+ persons that came into Florida alone were women that were infected from various parts of the Caribbean and central, south america. Now these people will become in all likelihood wards of the state along with their off spring. 12 cases of the Zika virus have now been confirmed in the Miami area. This is not media hype this is actual fact and shows that the virus is mutating and will continue to with many new host to spread it. I find it difficult to believe that the virus has been around for 40 years only now spreading into North America, at least known reported cases in the US. Take care of your self, you may want to have a blood test done before you return, just in case your carrying the virus and are not aware of it.

I meant the opening ceremony sorry.

 

As Mark said there isnt a lot they can do about the Zika virus apart from maybe stop the games which I doubt the athletes want least of all.

The last time the Olympics were canceled was during WW II. If medical science honestly knew in advance 1/2 of what is presently known about this virus and how it is presently being transmitted would common sense prevail and have the games canceled for health reasons to keep the spread from blanketing the balance of the world weather it be through sexual contact or blood transfusion or mother to child?. Since this virus continues to mutate and with so many different new host willing to carry the virus to the four corners of the planet it's only a matter of time for the governments of the world to continue to be reactive in stead of proactive.

If the athletes are really that selfish and stupid than they already know the consequences for their actions or inactions going forward. It's a shame the balance of the planet could very well also suffer the same consequences as well.

How was London a better olympics? Rio has only just started!

Was there a murder just outside the Olympic village on the opening day of the London Olympics?. Was the International Olympic committee struggling with weather or not to cancel an international sporting event due to a pandemic on it's doorstep. How about the extronary measures some countries are taking to attempt to protect their team members from something that really can not be controlled by the hosting country much less any other country participating in this sporting event?. Yes the London games were much better for many good reasons. So far I have not found one reason why the current games in Brazil should have ever started, much less how the country could afford to host the games with all the other current problems known and otherwise.

London was a better Olympics. Reality can be depressing or enlighting. How one deals with the facts depends on their point of view. Many athletes train for their entire lives for a single shot at the chance of a life time. Just not worth becoming sick and spreading a virus for money, greed or politics IMHO.

10 Bears, You are correct. I also forgot to mention the flesh eating bacteria existing in the waters where the boating competitions will be taking place!.

At least the American Basketball team has it all sorted out by having all of its players living on a cruse ships off shore until their games are to be played!.

I am sure the players will not be bitten by any Zika carrying mosquitoes once on land!.

Steve, I believe at this point you have done all that you can. When you agreed to enter into the purchasing agreement with the seller, eBay you were supposed to be aware of your specific rights, the sellers. If you have a genuine claim against the seller and eBay agrees with you I believe this company will do its best to resolve the matter. At least that has been my experience from a customer service standpoint.

It is sad that these olympics will be the first in modern history that should have been canceled due to health concerns. Instead hundreds if not thousands of people will be infected by the zika virus. All for the sake of greed and politics. At least the russian team was whittled down a little in size. They may be mad for not being able to compete due to failure to pass drug testing, however at least they won't help spread a highly contagious virus.

Here in Florida I have watched the number of reported cases increase daily and as the virus continues to mutate and infect more people this is one micro pandemic that should of and could of been avoided.

Your girlfriend needs to add a non cancellation fee to cover her cost. Otherwise no refund.

Like any other class or course a refund is not normal or customary here in the states.

Poland became a free country 12 years before it joined the eu in 2004. I was visiting my family when Solidarity Kicked the Communist to the curb and last visited 2 years ago.

The changes to the overall infrastructure of the country have been astonishing to say the least. Many people believe that most of this effort was due to eu membership, however the polish people had 12 years on their own before the eu. Maybe the nearest hard wear was sold out of orange netting or safety tape?. I believe it will be up to the people that voted to be out of the eu to hold the government accountable. The people spoke once now they have to continue to follow through and keep the government in line.

Dismissing all negativity. "Give up" is not helpful to me, or anyone else reading these threads.

I found this video interesting. The leaf curl looks a lot like my tree.

Calcium deficiency? But then I'm not seeing why it would strike one tree and not the other four nearby, which I've already said several times are healthy, thriving, and doing great.

 

 

There is a product called "Ironite", which is a mineral supplement I'm suspecting may be helpful here- however the gamble would be that it isn't any kind of contagious issue. Its complicated by the fact that as he said in the video, the original curly leaves would not straighten out with the fertilizer so it would take quite a bit longer to see if this makes a difference.

Ironite is liquid iron. It will green up your lawn and other plant material. It will also stain your driveways sidewalks and anything else the color of rust if used carelessly. YOUR HIBISCUS BUSH IS NOT HARBORING ANYTHING THAT IS CONTAGIOUS. Nutritional and micro nutritional requirements vary according to species. The available nutrients available in the soil feeding the trees are three times the size of the canopy, your nutritional concern is unfounded.

With out taking a soil sample and having it tested anything else your willing to try is a shot in the dark, at best. I suspect your from North America?. If so you don't have to take my advise, however you can contact your local cooperative extension agency and ask about any tips about Hibiscus care.

A master gardener typically is on staff as a volunteer at these agencies as well.

But do hibiscus trees self seed and grow in your yard?

Typically hibiscus is propagated from cuttings of existing material. I do not believe the flowers produce seeds per say. I once had a customer that could grow them by simply placing the leaf stems in potting soil carport and gradually move into larger containers or give as gifts within a few months of growth.

easy-lift guy

I should add that these are all hybrid Hibiscus trees and they are zone 5 cold hardy. They were planted last fall. I don't have any tropicals though I know those do have more showy flowers.

 

Can flies affect all the tips of all the branches? Every one of them the leaves are small and curled like that.

I'm afraid this is something contagious..... I will have to pull this tree out if I can't find an answer I can't afford to have the rest get whatever this is. Too bad its so dang diffcult to match even with that nice reference page Hidden Valley Hibsicus provided.

 

As far as getting them into the sun, just not an option. I have large white pines that would cost $1200- $2000 to remove and the neighbors have extremely tall locust trees, so there is a canopy.

I know its not ideal, but I have no choice. When you have a postage stamp yard, its a Vote for Hillary situation. Personally I would like to have hibiscus trees as opposed to never having them.

Luckily the other four are doing quite well and flowering also.

1. You actually have a Hibiscus bush surrounded by other plant material directly competing for food, water and sun light.

2. Thrips can cause the leafs of your bushes to curl as can aphid activity, however I do not see this present in the photos you have taken.

If your postage stamp yard already has hibiscus growing and blooming perhaps the single bush you was never grafted correctly and that can account for your results. Just from the pictures you have posted under the circumstances your bush pretty much looks normal, excluding no blooms.

Based on where you live and what your attempting to grow I believe your hibiscus bush will continue to struggle and never achieve what ever your expecting.

Your trying to grow a tropical plant in a non tropical environment. I could do the same thing here in Florida by attempting to grow tulips or a cherry tree. Not going to happen.

Moving material from one size pot to another is common. I have given the best professional advise I would give anyone, particularly considering what your attempting to accomplished and where and with what species of material. The rest is up to you.

easy-lift guy

Seriously, did you think I was kidding about the location and competition from other types of plant material for food, water and sun lite?. Move the Hibiscus away from the Ivey, and in full sun into its own container so it will at least have a fighting chance of surriving. Osmocoat is a good slow release fertilizer that will work well with this plant in a container with proper potting soil and drainage in the bottom of the pot.

For the OP, I believe redefining the phrase patience and understanding would fall into this encounter. Sadly this mental midget will continue to seek victims and only the weak will fall under his spell. One day he will piss off the wrong person at the wrong time and the place really won't matter.

If your using clorinated water that may also contribute to the appearance. Move the saplings into their own container so their not competing for food, water, and space.

You should watch Newswatch on Saturday morning on the BBC.

They explain and are often brought to task about scheduling and priorities.

There's plenty of other news agencies Al Jazeera and Russia Today on your tv and on the Internet for example who will give you a different slant on events.

Just saying "we get fed what the Man wants" is nonsense.

Understood, that's why I referenced the phrase masses of asses.
