"Distressed by care of my gran on ward 22"
About: Heartlands Hospital / Older people's healthcare Heartlands Hospital Older people's healthcare B9 5SS
Posted by Sarahhjohn (as ),
The service received at the hospital by the staff members such as some nurses in particular were an absolutely disgrace in many ways which was experienced by me and my family members.
The Nurses were taking care of my beloved gran who was suffering terribly for 3 days and the care provided was absolutely disappointing and distressing in a few situations. After those 3 days unfortunately our lovely gran passed away. The Nurses were doing inhuman actions such as mocking gestures and other actions towards my gran while she was in great distress and suffering immensely.
Me and my family are extremely upset, full of anger and above all distressed. Also we are scarred from this event that has taken place because of some peoples actions; care providers actions!
I do not want a reply but I want the correct service at the hospital so this doesn't happen in the future. I don't want any family to go through what we went through. So please improve the service provided immediately. I don't want anyone to go to a hospital that provides this level of care which is a complete and utter disgrace.

An Army Long Service Medal to the Royal 22nd Regiment
An Army Long Service Medal to the Royal 22nd Regiment - GRVI with Canada Suspension (BAND-CPL. W.J. HALL RI.22e.R.). Naming is officially impressed. Original ribbon with safety pin attachment, light contact, extremely fine. Accompanied by his Statement of Service in the Canadian Armed Forces, his England General Registrar Office Certified Copy of an Entry of Death (number DXZ 067322), along with copies of his Attestation Papers, Service Records and Discharge Certificates. Footnote: William John Hall was born on February 17, 1879 in Fataghur, Bengal, India. He enlisted with the Imperial Forces as a "Boy" on July 31, 1890, at the age of 11 and later saw service with the Rifle Brigade in South Africa during the Boer War (1901-1902), earning him the Queen's South Africa Medal with the Transvaal Clasp. His initial service in the Imperial Forces totalled over fifteen years, from July 31, 1890 to November 4, 1904. In his personal life, he married Mary Ann Louise Dodd on July 25, 1901 in Southampton, England, and they were later to have one son, Victor Joseph Hall. His break in service from the Imperial Forces lasted all of five weeks, before he returned to active service on December 9, 1904. During the First World War, Hall served with the Royal Marines from June 19, 1916 to February 15, 1919, when he was discharged from active service. He was awarded the Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal on June 18, 1916, followed after the war by his award of the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. After the war, he moved to Canada and enlisted with the Permanent Force of Canada, signing his Attestation Paper on October 18, 1923 at Quebec City, Quebec, with the Royal 22nd Regiment (P-48460) of the Canadian Army (Permanent Force), stating that he had previous service with the Rifle Brigade and the Royal Marines, that he was Married and that his trade was that of Musician. He spent most of those sixteen years with the Royal 22nd Regiment at the Citadel in Quebec City, but did see short postings at times in Montreal, Toronto and Halifax. He was granted One Good Conduct Badge on March 8, 1926. Hall re-engaged for three years' additional service on four occasions (October 20, 1926, October 19, 1929, October 18, 1932, October 18, 1935). He was granted the unpaid acting rank of Corporal on March 9, 1937 and the unpaid acting rank of Sergeant on April 2, 1937, was promoted to Band Corporal on probation on January 11, 1939 and confirmed in that rank on April 1st. He was awarded the Coronation Medal 1937 on January 18, 1938. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, Hall enlisted with the Canadian Army Active Service Force, signing his Attestation Paper on September 1, 1939 in Quebec City, stating that he had previous service with the Rifle Brigade, the Royal Marines and the Royal 22nd Regiment, that he was Married and that his trade was that of Musician. Upon enlistment, he was posted to the Regimental Depot of the Royal 22nd Regiment, then was absorbed at District Depot, Military District No. 5 in Quebec City, on August 6, 1940. Hall was discharged four months later, on December 2, 1940, at District Depot, Military District No. 5 in Quebec City, by reason of being "Physically unfit for military service under existing standards", at the age of 61. Hall was awarded the Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal with Canada Suspension Bar by Government Order No. 349 (also known as the Canadian Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct (Military)). The award acknowledged his combined service of 19 years, 9 months, 12 days with the Royal Marines (2 years, 7 months, 27 days) and the Royal 22nd Regiment (17 years, 1 month, 15 days), and was published in the Canada Gazette on September 18, 1943, page 3840. Diagnosed with heart problems Hall moved back to England, where he died on March 31, 1944 in Southampton from "natural causes", attributed to "heart failure due to chronic pulmonary disease". His age at the time of death is listed as 67 on his death certificate but that conflicts with his stated birth date, which would have made him 65. His widow, Mary, took receipt of his War Medal 1939-1945.

Homemade Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting and Candied Pecans
This Homemade Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting and Candied Pecans recipe is made completely from scratch! There are no pre-packaged, pre-made ingredients in this cake recipe. So, if you're looking to really impress, this cake recipe will surely do the trick!
For the Chocolate Cake:
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
For the Salted Caramel Frosting:
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter ( 1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
For the Candied Pecans:
- 2 1/2 cups pecans
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
What you'll need:
- Two 9 inch cake pans (or two 9 inch springform pans)
- Electric mixer or hand mixer
- Cooking Spray
- Wax Paper
- Cake Stand
- Spatula
First, let's start with making the Homemade Chocolate Cake recipe…
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease (with cooking spray) and flour two 9 inch cake pans.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or in a separate large bowl if using a hand mixer), whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Then, add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix together with electric mixer for 3 minutes.
Next, stir in the boiling water by hand and mix well. Pour the cake mixture evenly into the greased pans.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen cake, then turn over to remove cake onto a separate surface to cool completely to room temperature.
Meanwhile, let's make the Salted Caramel Frosting recipe…
In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, briefly stir in the granulated white sugar and water. Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture turns a dark amber in color, approximately 6-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and slowly add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is completely smooth. Set mixture aside until cool to the touch, approximately 25-30 minutes.
Next, combine the butter and salt in a bowl of our electric mixer, and beat on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add powdered sugar and mix until completely incorporated. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Then, add caramel mixture and beat on medium-high speed for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until frosting becomes thoroughly mixed and airy. Cover frosting and refrigerate until stiffened before using, approximately 45 minutes.
Next, let's make the Candied Pecans recipe…
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place pecans on a shallow baking pan and heat in oven for 10 minutes, or until warmed. Grease a separate baking pan with 1 tablespoon butter, and set aside.
Meanwhile, grease the sides of a saucepan with the remaining butter over medium low heat. Add the sugar, water, salt, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium, and cook mixture until it reaches a boil. Cover and cook an additional 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar crystals.
Remove mixture from heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir in the warm pecans, ensuring to coat them evenly.
Spread the coated pecans onto the greased baking pan. Bake in the oven at 250 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and spoon the pecans on a waxed-paper lined baking sheet to cool.
Finally, let's assemble the Cake…
Place the first cake layer on a cake stand. With a spatula, spread frosting on the top of that that first cake layer, followed by topping with some of the candied pecans. Then place the second cake layer on top of it. Spread the frosting generously on the top of the second cake layer first, then evenly along the sides of the entire cake. Top the cake with the remaining candied pecans.
Enjoy this Homemade Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting and Candied Pecans recipe!
Make sure that you allow the cake to cool completely before icing to prevent the icing from melting.

Was the explosion that took the lives of Sarah Russell's parents an act of murder?
Her teenage daughter thinks so and is determined to seek answers in the sleepy small town where Sarah grew up. Sarah fears the teen will uncover a secret she's not ready to share: everyone, including Sarah's daughter, believes the girl is Sarah's kid sister. Even the child's father doesn't know the truth. But as Sarah reunites with Nick Tyler to look into the mysterious deaths, she knows she'll have to tell him — and their daughter — the truth. Yet someone wants to ensure that no one uncovers any long-buried secrets.

I have been CRAVING spaghetti and meatballs lately – not the spaghetti and meatballs that you get in a restaurant but my mom's spaghetti and meatballs. Basically, the best spaghetti and meatballs EVAH!
My mom is one hell of a cook. A lot of my classic recipes on here are ones that I grew up with and come straight from her, usually by way of a phone call requesting her to sit down and read me the ENTIRE recipe, often repeating lines and ingredients, while I jot it down.
I was pretty spoiled having the mom I did growing up. My parents owned a business together and my mom did all the accounting from home so that meant we always had a homemade dinner on the dinner table at 6pm sharp. Very rarely did my mom heat something up, we seriously thought TV dinners were a special occasion. For your birthday you always got whatever your favorite meal was for dinner – mine was almost always chicken enchiladas (I usually asked for them for breakfast the next day too!).
Oh and breakfast, my mom killed that one too. We had to be at school at 8am and had a 20 minute drive to school (we lived in the mountains of Colorado) but we still had a hot breakfast most every morning. Whether it was muffins, breakfast burritos, omelets… we never went to school without a killer breakfast. Occasionally we would do cereal or a toaster strudel, but that was rare.
Now, my mom's baked goods are a whole different story. I seriously don't know where my love of baking came from, I've had it for as long as I remember, but it wasn't from watching my mom bake. She's famous for her hockey puck cookies that are flatter than the cookie sheet they were baked on. Although she makes the best damn pie crust, but that's it.
Her meatball recipe is incredibly simple, they always seem to come out perfect, and have tons of flavor. The marinara recipe is mine that I use for everything, I just love it so much. And I used bucatini pasta as my noodles because they have those fabulous little holes down the middle, perfect for getting all that delicious marinara everywhere. Seriously, this is the best spaghetti and meatballs you'll have. EVAH!
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage*
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 pound bucatini noodles, cooked according to package
- marinara sauce
- grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, egg, parsley and breadcrumbs.
- With your hands, mix all the ingredients together, making sure that everything is combined well and all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout.
- Form mixture into meatballs. I used a ¼ cup measuring cup and formed 14 meatballs, rolling them into balls.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, place meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally until the meatballs have browned on all sides.
- Reduce heat to medium low and cover skillet. Let cook 10-15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked throughout. The best way to tell is to cut one in half and make sure the middles are not pink.
- While meatballs are cooking, prepare noodles.
- To serve, add marinara to spaghetti noodles and toss to combine. Top with meatballs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!

Serves 6
for the salmon cakes
- 1 1/4 pounds fresh salmon, cut into 1/4" cubes
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 1/4" cubes
- 1 lemon zested, divided
- 2 slices bread
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon whole grain dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped capers
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko, for coating salmon cakes
- 2-3 tablespoons canola or olive oil for frying
for the lemon dill aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- half of the lemon zest (you already zested)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- few dashes of hot sauce (optional)
- n a bowl, combine the diced salmon and half of the lemon zest. Reserve the other half of the zest for the aioli -- set aside.
- Place the bread and parsley leaves in a small food processor and pulse to make parsley bread crumbs.
- Transfer bread crumbs to the salmon and lightly fold the breadcrumbs and lemon zest into the salmon to evenly distribute.
- In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, capers, kosher salt and black pepper and stir well.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture and egg to the salmon and fold in well to combine. Chill the salmon for 30 minutes to an hour before continuing.
- Meanwhile prepare the aioli. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, garlic, the other half of the lemon zest, dill, lemon juice and hot sauce. Stir to combine and refrigerate.
- Divide the salmon into six equal parts and form patties out of each.
- Place panko in a shallow bowl and place a salmon cake on top, lightly pressing so the panko sticks to the salmon. Flip the salmon cake over and press panko into the other side.
- Place a skillet over medium heat to preheat the pan. (I used a cast iron skillet, but non-stick and regular fry pans work too.) Add a tablespoon of oil - oil should slick across the surface of the pan and moire. Work with no more than 2 salmon cakes at a time. Fry on one side for 2-3 minutes. Place one hand on top of the salmon cake and carefully edge a spatula under the cake. Gently turn the cakes over and continue to fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set cakes on a tray lined with paper towels. Continue with the other cakes.
- Serve salmon cakes with lemon wedges and top with aioli.

You might remember my short post on piononos, the popular jelly-roll cake filled with, often, savory ingredients. Back on day one in pastry class when we covered this particular gem, along with ladyfingers and basic sponge cakes, I asked about making it savory instead of sweet, a question that was greeted with a momentarily puzzled look, followed by, "it's our tastes, we like that sweet and savory combination, yes, I suppose you could do it, but we don't."
Among the things that I wanted to practice for next week's exam is the pionono, so, here it is…
I'm going to assume that you don't need to see more pictures of whipping eggs and such. The process for the pionono is almost the same as that for the vainillas that I posted a few days ago. The ingredients are only slightly different – 5 eggs, 50 grams sugar, 60 grams cake flour, 1 tablespoon honey and a few drops of vanilla. The major difference in the process is that the eggs are separated and the whites are beaten first, then the sugar added and the beating finished (essentially a "French merengue"), then the yolks, vanilla and honey are beaten in, followed by folding in the flour. A 12″ x 24″ sheet pan is lined with buttered or oiled wax paper (makes it easier to remove later), and the batter is spread out evenly in the pan. (I made a 3/5 batch here as I don't have sheet pans that big and the size of mine just fit about 3/5 of the specified size)
Because it's such a thin layer of batter it takes very little time to cook. I probably went just about a minute too long and it browned a little more than it should have.
After letting it cool, it is filled with whatever it is you care to. In this case, I covered the inside with a spreadable goat's milk cheese, then put in kanikama, or surimi – fake crab sticks you know – along with chopped frisee and piquillo peppers. I rolled it up and coated it liberally with… salsa golf.
An end shot closeup.
And, after letting it chill and set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, we sliced and served it. You know what? It's really quite good!

I started going on dates this girl a 3 weeks ago, when should I inform her? some people say don't for a few months until it gets serious because she will have secrets from me I won't know for awhile and some say do it early just tell her 3 or 4 dates in?
How long should I date a girl before I tell her I have MS?

how bad is it? If its not that bad why mention it at all unless its brought up?00|00|0
Probably within a month or so. If you want a girl to be serious about you, it's going to have a big role in your relationship at some point. If she can't handle it, wouldn't you rather know before you get too invested in her?00|00|0

Web Services + Information Repository
Web services are poised to revolutionize the way content sites get their goods to the folks who want them. Businessweek writes,this is a major change –It was thought of Web services as something that could only make business transactions easier. Last year just 4% of Web-services-related spending went to information dissemination and retrieval, Now the biggest forces behind informational Web services are information sites themselves. Hundreds such as Technorati have begun publishing their application program interfaces (API). They're letting the programmers from other sites know the easiest way to link up their news feeds. The result is a community of interrelated programmers and Web sites. Since Flickr, a Web site through which people can share photos, made its APIs available last summer, more than 600 developers from other sites have made use of them, says co-founder Stewart Butterfield.

Few Reasons and Precautions to Acne
Acne is a common skin disease that affects the face, neck, chest and etc. it is inflammatory in nature. Our skin produces an owlish solution through the sebaceous gland that keeps the smooth known as sebum. Our skin hormones, bacteria and that sebum go into interaction and cause this acne over the skin. There are few typical symptoms to acne like pimples, pustules and sometimes cyst that is a lump of flesh over the skin. Acne is mostly visible in both girls and boys during the time of their puberty. Puberty is such a time when the body goes under lot many hormonal changes. These hormonal changes lead to acne.
It is the severity of the acne of an individual on which the treatment of acne depends. If it is not much serious and mild in nature then it can managed by washing it by a scrub face wash or simple toilet soap. Sometimes drying agents like benzyl peroxide is also used. But severe acne most of the time needs oral treatments that affects the hormonal disorders that causes acne. There are more than almost half a dozen of categories of acnes. Its first stage mostly starts off with blackheads and scars. Acne is totally related to sebaceous glands that are found in that hair follicle. So the treatment of acne starts from the follicle. Blackhead is the most common form of acne. It is mostly visible on cheek, chin, nose and forehead. Too much use of scrubbing that stimulates the growth cells of the skin that can lock ducts can turn out to be harmful. So washing the face with a mild soap is a better option. Skin cells mostly swell in the hot and humid cells that increases the chances of blocked ducts, this why face steaming treatments are useless. Skin exposure to sun and fresh air can protect the skin from acne scars.
Acne scars are nothing but inflammations caused by the acne already present on the skin. This scar makes the individual looks older. This also takes the title of aging agent. Both acne and acne scars both definitely stress related. Due to busy and stressful life schedules people mostly suffer from skin problems like these. Pricking and squeezing of acne and acne scars should be avoided because that may put on a permanent mark on the skin. It is very much to improve all kind of acnes and sometimes get totally rid of it. But it is always very much important for a person suffering from severe acne to visit the dermatologist. And it is very important for an individual to keep in mind that she should not use any such product that would lead to blockage of the sebaceous glands.
Several acnes have origin from several wrong food habits. A diet with excessive starch, less vitamin can lead to acne. Wrong hours of fooding are also the reason sometimes. Not only food intact if the bowels do not clear out properly the waste material remain in the blood that makes it saturated. These wastes that remain unexcreted in the body give birth to acne.
Jessica Williams - About Author:
Nitai helps in getting rid of skin problems like skin acne and acne scars. These make your skin look dull and mark filled. Curing of acne is also a step to anti aging. Acne mostly starts appearing from teen age that is the time of puberty. Hormonal changes are prominent in puberty time of any man or woman. So it is better to take precaution when it is time that is before puberty. Even if one doesn't takes any kind of precaution treatment of acne and its cure is very much possible.

The first difference is the front grille and air intakes designs. The V10 comes with chromed cross lines grille versus the V8's black plastic straight lines. The air intakes in the V10 are also different with a more pronounced shiny black design. Another difference is the side metal slate which is apparent from the first two pictures above. The V10 version has a "bent outward" and bigger vents slate.
The second and most noticeable difference is in the rear of the car, the tailpipes. The V10 exhaust has two large, rounded and chromed tailpipes while the V8 has four (two each side) small pipes. Another difference in the back is the design of the rear bumper and around the license plate. The V10 comes with an all black shiny rear cover while the V8 comes in the car paint color. Stare at the two pictures above and you will become an expert.
The wheels in the R8 V10 are also more styled and look more masculine than the ones fitted on the V8 version.
Looking at the two pictures above, another difference can be seen. The two metal squares design pieces on the two sides of the engine window are silver on the V10 and black on the V8.
Last but definitely not least is the beef under the hood. The engine is what really makes the difference. The V10 has a Lamborghini Gallardo 5.2L 10 cylinder engine making 525 horsepower and the V8 has a 4.2L 8 cylinder engine making 420 horsepower. Moreover, the V10 not only makes more power, but also looks much more better and fills the engine compartment while the V8 looks tinny engine in comparison and creates large gaps in the compartment. The V10 also makes better and meaner sound than the V8. You can see it all in the video below.

As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Rust College online learning information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Rust College.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond consideration for Rust College distance learning, you may think about Sonoma State University ACT exam dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

A Fragment of Autobiography.
By Mary Lee Settle.
312 pp. New York:
W. W. Norton & Company. $24.95.
It is not hard to imagine Roger Williams, the champion of religious freedom who founded Rhode Island, as the hero of a novel. The crooked real estate broker who mentored Saul Bellow's Augie March would have diagnosed Williams the same way he did Augie: ''You've got opposition in you.'' Williams irritated Old England, whose high clergy chased him out of the country as a Puritan. And then he irritated New England, whose theocrats banished him from Massachusetts because he insisted on the land rights of Indians, demanded an open break with the Church of England and denied that civil authorities could enforce spiritual laws.
Surprisingly, Williams also had diplomatic tact in him. He was able to persuade the Narragansett Indians not to ally with the Pequots in their war on white settlers, and twice he wheedled a charter for Rhode Island from the English Parliament. He seems to have enjoyed confrontations between people who disagreed on fundamentals -- Indians and colonists, Anglicans and Puritans, himself and almost everyone he met -- and rather than paper over disputes, he negotiated by describing differences ever more carefully.
In writing a historical novel about Roger Williams, Mary Lee Settle begins with a hero who is promisingly ornery, self-aware, articulate and appreciative of detail. Settle -- best known for ''The Beulah Quintet,'' five historical novels about three centuries of Virginians -- has a keen appreciation of detail herself. She seems to love research. In one of her earlier novels, ''Blood Tie,'' a Turkish political dissident flees the police by crawling through the innards of a mountain, and from Settle's sensuous, exact description, it is easy to believe her claim to an interviewer that she researched the chapter by swimming through a cave herself with candles tied around her neck.
In ''I, Roger Williams,'' the showiest research is linguistic rather than speleological. As the title suggests, the novel is told in the first person, and Settle is enthusiastic about recreating a 17th-century voice (though she has abstained, mercifully, from 17th-century punctuation and spelling). Like the historical Roger Williams, Settle's Williams invokes the ''Father of Lights'' and denounces such idols of this world as ''God Land'' and ''God Protocol.'' He deplores his fellow Rhode Islanders' ''brabble'' over ''fribbling'' questions of real estate, and he listens to the ''maundering'' of old men. He also listens to their ''chaumping'' and ''maunching,'' when we would be more likely to say they were champing and munching, or decide that it wasn't polite to listen in the first place.
To write a whole book in a four-century-old style is a bold experiment. Unfortunately, from time to time one worries that the petri dishes are running the laboratory. Are Settle's words serving her, or she them? A few aren't in the Oxford English Dictionary. ''Scunning'' isn't, although it does appear in the English Dialect Dictionary with a meaning that doesn't quite match the way she uses it. Nor is ''scawmed,'' although the O.E.D does have a ''scaumed'' (scorched) and a ''scawed'' (spotted). Of course, Settle may have found words the O.E.D. hasn't.Continue reading the main story
Despite her research, in some places Settle seems to have blundered. She writes, ''What grace and meet there is to be alive in the early morning,'' but I don't think ''meet,'' in the sense of ''fitting,'' was ever a noun. ''Sprong'' is already a past tense of ''spring,'' so to write that a lamb ''spronged'' high in the air is like writing that Byron ''swammed'' the Hellespont.
But these are fribbling complaints. A graver problem is that ''I, Roger Williams'' feels less like a novel than a series of tableaus. The chapters are short, and all but a handful are introduced by Roger Williams doing something in the present tense -- strolling, recalling a dream, sitting in a sweat lodge, maundering -- that provokes a memory. The memories add up to the story of his life in roughly chronological order, but at the start of each chapter, the narrative halts while the remembering Williams tongues, for a page or so, the cud of reminiscence. For the reader, the experience is not unlike making love to a person who breaks off every 10 minutes to microwave a fresh mug of herbal tea. One begins to feel cheated of momentum.
In the past, Settle's penchant for static tableaus was balanced by a knack for putting emotions in a sequence that drew the reader forward. These sequences resemble myth more than plot. It isn't, for example, altogether logical for the Turkish dissident in ''Blood Tie'' to go through the mountain rather than around it. But to complete the sequence of emotions the novel has set in motion, the dissident has to go through the mountain, which represents past, tomb, mother and earth. And so he does, and it satisfies the reader's inner Jungian if not his inner travel agent.
The emotions in ''I, Roger Williams'' have to do with making peace with one's life. To arrive at peace, Williams must face what he wanted out of life and could not get, and here Settle has taken better advantage of Williams's diplomatic skill than of his contrariness. She imagines that her hero would have needed to come to terms with the memory of his surrogate father, Sir Edward Coke. A brilliant jurist, Coke codified English law and cornered King Charles I into accepting the Petition of Right. It was Coke who discovered Williams, first employing him as a clerk and then sponsoring his education.
Against expectation, most of ''I, Roger Williams'' takes place in England. (Williams does not reach America until Page 240, so that his best-known achievements and crises -- founding Providence, attacking the Puritan policy of religious persecution and warring against the Indians he befriended -- are compressed into the last 60 pages.) Coke's schemes to outwit the king, the king's lover and Francis Bacon are lively and compelling; the Duke of Buckingham is as dashing and evil as he ever was in a Dumas novel. The trouble is, these passages of court intrigue belong more to Coke's life than to Williams's. As Settle tells the story, the two never misunderstood or disappointed each other in any severe, lasting way. The older man had a legal mind, and the younger man a religious one, but there was no deep opposition between them to reconcile. Between a minister purer than Puritans and a lawyer who stood up to a king, that seems like a missed opportunity.Continue reading the main story

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Fabiano Vieira pulled over at a gas station on his way home from the Built Ford Tough Series event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, two weeks ago.
Vieira got out of his truck and told his wife, Jilian, that something was wrong with his right shoulder.
He was still feeling pain after pulling out of the Built Ford Tough Championship Round despite sitting in fourth place in the event average.
"My shoulder had come out," Vieira recalled. "I was in a lot of pain in Tulsa. I stopped at the gas station and put it back in."
Vieira then laughs.
"I told her this pain is not normal. So I just pulled on it."
Just like he did last season, Vieira is once again defying the odds with his unstable shoulder.
He went 4-for-5 (336.5 points) to win the Jack Daniel's Music City Knockout Ride Score Championship and he had ridden nine consecutive bulls before bucking off Sasquatch in the final round Saturday night.
Vieira – the only rider with four qualified rides in Nashville – doesn't know why or how he is continuing to ride impressively.
The nine consecutive rides are tied for the most in Vieira's career. The 33-year-old previously rode nine in a row in 2011.
In fact, Vieira's arms were shaking during his post-event interview inside Bridgestone Arena.
Vieira had attempted four bulls on Saturday night and said his arms began to shake after he rode Rusty for 87 points in Round 3.
"I was a little hurt today," he said. "My shoulder. He was a little strong and spun left. My arms hurt and were shaking after I fell off."
He previously rode Circle City for 79.5 points in the second round on Friday night and then put up 84.5 points on Hot & Juicy and 85.5 points on Strong Heart in the fourth and fifth rounds Saturday.
Vieira has been the second-hottest rider on the BFTS behind J.B. Mauney since the summer break concluded.
Vieira has used two second-place finishes and a sixth-place finish in Tulsa to earn a whopping 1,120 points toward the world standings. He has jumped from 13th to fifth in the world standings in three events by earning 46.86 percent of his world points in August.
After being a World Champion contender last season, Vieira has once again put himself back in the title race. He trails Joao Ricardo Vieira by 1,182.5 points heading into the WinStar World Casino and Resort Invitational in Thackerville, Oklahoma, on Sept. 4-5.
"I have been saying for a long time he is as good as there is," said nine-time World Champion and CBS Sports Network commentator Ty Murray. "His injuries have been the only thing that has held him back. Even now, he can still freaking ride pretty good with the injury. He has that wiry center (frame), is really strong pound for pound and is an athletic, quick guy."
There are five BFTS regular-season events remaining until the Built Ford Tough World Finals on Oct. 21.
PBR Director of Livestock Cody Lambert said that Mauney's left ankle injury may have opened a door of opportunity for Fabiano.
If Mauney misses any time or struggles to ride through his own injury, a consistent Vieira may be able to make a big move.
"Fabiano can out-ride Joao," Lambert said. "Fabiano can ride better than he can."
Fabiano has risen his riding percentage to 51.56 percent (33-for-64), which is the third highest on the BFTS, and his 33 qualified rides ranks second.
Once again, the biggest question will be how Vieira will fare with his bum shoulder.
He opted out of the championship round with an opportunity to win the event in Tulsa and his shoulder caught up to him by the end of the weekend in Nashville.
He aggravated the shoulder while riding Raven Flyer for 83 points in Tulsa. Vieira has competed in all 21 BFTS events this year.
All he did after Tulsa was go team roping and participate in some resistance band training to help strengthen the shoulder.
"I feel better (compared to last year)," he said. "I was using tape and holding my shoulder with a brace. This year is nothing."
Vieira said he is considering getting surgery after the World Finals. Last year, he was strongly opposed to any sort of operation because of his fear of needles.
He now believes he may need to undergo surgery if he hopes to continue his career into his mid-to-late 30s.
"I am going to look into surgery after Finals," he said. "I am still a little scared for surgery. It is a long time – six months to not ride bulls. I am 33. I am not young anymore."
Two-time World Champion Justin McBride brings up the question of how strong will Vieira's shoulder be at the World Finals in October?
Vieira went 1-for-5 in 2014 and finished the season fifth in the world standings.
"Don't get me wrong. I have always been a huge Fabiano fan," McBride said. "With this injury and the way he is able to ride, but you look at that last rank bull (Sasquatch). We saw it last year and I hope it is not the same this year, but I think Fabiano, with that injury, gets exposed again at the Finals. Just night after night of those really rank ones.
"I hope I am wrong. I am pulling for him. I love that he is that tough and that good and that he is even able to be in contention. With that shoulder, I just don't think he can."
Vieira doesn't know either.
When asked if he can make a genuine push for his first career gold buckle, Vieira pauses and eventually shrugs.
"I will try," he concluded. "It is a competition. I don't know. Last year, I had a chance to win it and I rode hurt and good. I think my shoulder has helped me ride better.
"In my head, I will ride for a world title."

Many allegations have been leveled against Caboodle Ranch and its founder, Craig Grant. Relevant information regarding those claims is listed below.
These claims have not been evaluated in a court of law. Caboodle Ranch Investigations makes no claims as to the veracity of these allegations or to the innocence or guilt of Craig Grant and Caboodle Ranch, Inc.
- Seriously ill or wounded cats did not receive adequate veterinary care.
- Caboodle Ranch failed to spay and neuter cats in their care.
- Craig Grant wiped cats' faces with toxic Clorox Wipes.
- Conditions at the Ranch were filthy.
- Dead cats were left where they lay.
- Cats roamed freely outside the confines of the Ranch.
- Craig Grant misappropriated nonprofit funds.
Seriously ill or wounded cats did not receive veterinary care.
Caboodle Ranch spokespersons acknowledge that there were sick and injured cats, but insist that these cats were all receiving treatment (although not necessarily by trained veterinary personnel). Accounts vary on the number of cats affected and the severity of their ailments. Caboodle Ranch acknowledges that healthy cats were permitted to freely mingle with sick, contagious cats.
Veterinary and bank records from the Ranch simply do not show adequate care and costs for a population of 700+ cats.
Veterinary and animal care evaluations in 2009 show extensive problems, recommend corrective actions, and state categorically that Caboodle Ranch was providing inadequate care for the cats. Recommendations for corrective actions were not taken, including halting intake of cats, immediate veterinary treatment for sick cats, creation of medical records for cats, photo identification of all cats, microchipping, and complete FeLV/FIV testing.
Caboodle Ranch defends its standards of care by presenting a March, 2011 Animal Control inspection report showing no legally actionable violations. However, Madison County Board of Commissioners minutes for January 18, 2012 disclose that 38 violations were found in Animal Control's 2012 inspection. By the date of the meeting, 13 violations had still not been resolved.
From its inception, Caboodle Ranch has steadfastly refused to provide humane euthanasia for terminally ill, critically injured, or irremediably suffering cats.
Lilly, one of the cats documented on the PeTA video, suffered from an infection that caused her iris to protrude through the cornea. After several months of painful degeneration documented from October 2011 until February 2012, Lilly finally passed away from her infection. Critics argue that even if Lilly was receiving veterinary care, her condition had degenerated so badly that putting her to sleep would have been the only humane choice.
"Based on the cats that we observed, it appeared that approximately 25% of cats were in outwardly healthy condition and in good flesh (Figure 1). More than half of cats appeared to have upper respiratory infections (Figure 2), approximately a quarter of cats were underweight (Figure 3), and approximately a quarter of the cats had substantial hair loss (figure 4). About 10% of cats that we observed were severely emaciated (Figure 5). Several cats had open wounds or abscesses (Figure 6). Diarrhea was commonly observed in the litter boxes and forest sand. For these reasons, it is my opinion that the sanctuary does not currently meet minimum guidelines for cat health and welfare."
"Said property is occupied by or under the control of a Craig Grant, owner of the Caboodle Ranch and there is now being kept in or about the property cat(s) which were residing within deplorable conditions with a high percentage of the cats suffering from an unknown respiratory illnesses with other illnesses and/or disorders. Mr. Grant has transported cats to the veterinary clinic for evaluation but refuses to follow the recommendations of humane euthanasia allowing the cats to suffer a possible painful death and/or infect the remainder of the cats when returned to the ranch."— Order to Show Care, Third Judicial Circuit, May 6th, 2009
"A lot of cats have upper respiratory disease, the type unknown, but they are sick. There are cats with open wounds and some with neurological issues. Overall conditions of some of the buildings are filthy, and pretty deplorable."— Tim Rickey, Senior Investigator, ASPCA
"In the silence rises an unmistakable chorus of wheezing and sneezing, of air attempting to pass through mucus, of cats with runny eyes and snotty noses. Grant's cat-topia isn't perfect. In fact, it may be a little sick."
"Also, Craig has been extremely busy this holiday season with round the clock care for several caboodles that have upper respiratory issues. He is working from dawn until the wee hours of the morning, sleeping in the sick ward on a blanket on the floor so that he can check on the 'kids' and hand feed them or give them medicines. It has been very stressful and exhausting, but the kitties are improving daily. We have had a few cold spells that brought on the colds."
"We were approached by a number of the cats and the majority appeared to be in poor health. Many appeared to be extremely thin; others had little hair on their body, others appeared weak and unable to move. As I looked further at the cats, many appeared to have respiratory issues and were having difficulty breathing. One cat was leaning its head over the rim of a plastic kiddie pool to drink water, but appeared to be too weak to lift its head when it was done."— Findings of Laura Bevin, HSUS Director, Apr. 24th, 2009
"We have our share of cats with colds, but this is normal when they're living outside. And like a child in daycare, when one catches a cold, it isn't long before another does. But they are all treated for this. The cats with more serious illnesses, such as Leukemia, are kept seperate from the others in their own large outdoor pens."
"In April of 2009 Dr. Levy brought her team in shortly after that visit and took samples from 20 of the sick cats found at the ranch. Her findings showed that all of the sick cats tested positive for multiple Gastrointestinal Pathogens. As a team we came together and drew up a 30 day order to show care that was witnessed and signed off on by a local judge. To our delight you responded in a positive manner when you received the order and immediately implemented most of the suggestions therein. Great improvement was seen during and after the 30 days was up. Dr. Lewis and I both visited the ranch during this period and we were impressed to see the amount of improvement to the overall health of the cats.
However it has recently been brought to my attention that things could be taking a turn for the worse…
I am concerned about the future of your program. I feel that you are taking on too much at one time and without the proper help you are unable to keep up with the demands that are vital to a properly run sanctuary. We addressed these issues in the order to show care and yet these issues still remain. At this point in time you are in direct violation of the court order."— Letter from Madison County Animal Control, Sept. 27th, 2010
"Animal/Mosquito Control Director Jamie Willoughby reported two animal sanctuaries, Caboodle Ranch and Goliath & BeBe's World, have made applications to the County for permits to comply with the Excess Animal Habitat (EAH) Ordinance, which took effect January 1st. Mr. Willoughby stated Caboodle Ranch was inspected and 38 violations were found. A follow-up inspection found all but 13 violations were corrected."— Madison County Board of Commissioners meeting minutes, Jan. 18, 2012
A brown cat rubbed against his leg and he saw what looked like a twig stuck to its side. He reached down to remove it and realized it was a rib; the cat had a compound fracture.
"This cat needs medical attention," Conley said he told Grant.
"He said, 'Why? It ain't bothering him,' " Conley recalled.
"Upon arriving at Madison Veterinary Clinic, the cat was examined by Dr. Lewis, who manually checked the cats back and legs for signs of injury. Dr. Lewis said he could not find any broken bones, but that the cat was in overall poor health. However, he then stated that the cat looked better than other cats brought to the clinic by Mr. Grant, and that there were problems with upper respiratory infection (URI) at the sanctuary. Dr. Lewis said he has tried to convince Mr. Grant to euthanize some of the very ill cats that he has brought to the clinic, but Mr. Grant had refused. Dr. Lewis then gave the cat an injection and we took the cat to Madison County Animal Control."— Findings of Laura Bevin, HSUS Director, Apr. 24th, 2009
"Unfortunately, there will be some sick cats at Caboodle Ranch, but I won't put them down. I don't have the right to take a life and won't. I won't paint a pretty picture. I care for the cats that people no longer care for. My business is mine and no one elses."— Craig Grant, Mar. 30, 2007
"I've had a number of sick cats over the years. Some in the sick ward had photos taken behind my back and put on the web. All these cats were being treated. I either take them to the vets or call to describe symptoms and am told what to do. I do not have the heart to put cats to sleep."— Craig Grant, Feb. 29, 2009
Caboodle Ranch failed to spay and neuter cats in their care.
Caboodle Ranch rules specify that cats must be spayed or neutered. However, there have been many incidents of litters born at the Ranch; one notable case is Wobbles, a cat with cerebellar hypoplasia who was impregnated by another unneutered cat and gave birth at the Ranch. Veterinary records show surprisingly few spay and neuter procedures.
This litter of kittens was discovered under a trailer at Caboodle Ranch.
"Wobbles is a wonderful little girl. She copes with her disabilities very well. Having neurological problems she walks all over the place and often falls but that doesn't stop her from running and playing. Wobbles became pregnant, which was amazing. She turned out to be the most amazing mama cat… She made her little nest and on the next morning, my birthday, she had four little ones!"— Caboodle Ranch Blog, Apr. 14th, 2008
ONE KITTEN SUFFERS FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE CEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA FROM BIRTH WITH INTENTION TREMORS PRESENT"— Veterinary records from Scott Mill Animal Hospital, Nov. 28th, 2006
"We observed several sexually intact tom cats…"
"The very people that are saying bad things about us, have never even been to the ranch and most likely do not even spay or neuter their cats."— Caboodle Ranch Blog, Mar. 21st, 2012
Craig Grant wiped cats' faces with toxic Clorox Wipes.
Multiple eyewitnesses testify that they saw Craig wiping cats' faces with Clorox Wipes. Until May 2012, Caboodle Ranch denied this, and stated that the frequent requests for Clorox Wipes were for sanitation and not for use on the cats. Photographic evidence was inconclusive.
However, in a hastily deleted blog post, a statement from Craig admitted the regular use of Clorox wipes on the faces of cats:
Yes, I used Clorox wipes always — keeping noses clean and my hand sanitized as I handled so many cats.— A Day At The Ranch [deleted], May 2nd, 2012
Earlier testimony from visitors to the Ranch corroborates this.
"As he makes his rounds, he pulls out a Clorox wipe and uses it over and over to wipe the eyes or noses of a dozen or so cats. In his pocket, he keeps a small bottle of antibiotics. Every now and then he pulls it out and shoots one dropperful into the mouth of a sick cat. He doesn't wipe it clean between cats."
"PETA's investigator had discovered a tiny white kitten all alone, with eyes so encrusted with dried discharge that they wouldn't open. The investigator took the kitten to Grant and pointed out the animal's obvious illness. Instead of providing the kitten with veterinary care, Grant rubbed a Clorox wipe across the kitten's eyes and rubbed and picked at them roughly with his hands. He told the investigator to put the kitten with a cat named Cali, who had given birth at Caboodle to kittens our investigator named Bronson, Felix, and Luna. Within a month, the little white kitten had died at Caboodle, apparently of an untreated upper respiratory infection."— Statement by PETA
Not for cleaning or sanitizing skin.
CAUTION: Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
FIRST AID IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center for treatment advice.— Cautionary label, Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
Conditions at the Ranch were filthy.
Undercover video shows rooms littered with debris, with wooden flooring stained with urine and feces. Caboodle Ranch states that this was the sick ward, and that video was taken before volunteers arrived to clean it that morning. It is questionable whether that amount of waste and dirt could accumulate in a 24-hour period; regardless, the porous flooring creates a serious health hazard that violates basic principles of shelter hygiene.
Additionally, a refrigerator was shown containing spoiled food and medicine, swarming with maggots. Caboodle Ranch states that the trailer was closed to cats, and that the massive infestation had developed due to "Florida climate and no electricity".
"In regards to the question about the sick bay, or infirmary; This is an old office trailer. It is a place that has a tendency to get dirtier than any other. Sick cats make the worst kind of messes… with diarrhea, vomiting, and even sneezing. There are a few sick cats in the infirmary that aren't in cages and create the usual messes of litter and shredding of papertowels and dumping of food. And because there's no grass at Caboodle Ranch, dirt is also tracked in continuously."
"We collected pharyngeal (throat) swabs from 11 cats with signs of upper respiratory disease for PCR testing. We also collected 11 diarrhea samples from litter boxes and the forest floor for fecal flotation analysis and PCR testing. The test results are below. As you can see, there is evidence for widespread transmission of multiple respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases among the cats. Each of these diseases has their own unique negative impact on quality of life in infected cats. Some of these infections are also a hazard (zoonotic) for people. Grain mites often indicate inappropriate food storage."
"A lot of Caboodle is outside so the smell wasn't that bad, but I won't be wearing Caboodle Cologne anytime soon."— John Fulton, host of "Must Love Cats"
Dead cats were left to rot where they lay.
Volunteers describe burying cats after Craig Grant refused to bury them. Caboodle Ranch acknowledged the deaths and the photos of the dead cats in 2010, attributing them to snakebites, coyotes, and illness; they do not address the issue of cats remaining unburied, other than to say that Craig did not want the cats to be touched.
Several skeletons and decomposing corpses were photographed aboveground, scattered on the property.
"This is a sensitive matter because this was one of Craig's original cats 'Tommy 2' and he does not want to touch the remains. He explained to Nanette years ago when he first showed it to her that it was 'sacred ground' to him."
Several cats were in dire need of medical treatment, and responders discovered a number of deceased cats on the property, in addition to burial sites. Forensic necropsies will be conducted on those remains to determine the causes of death and will be submitted to the Madison County Sheriff's Office to support its investigation.
Cats roamed freely outside the confines of the Ranch.
Cats venturing outside the confines of the Ranch were a frequent complaint of Caboodle Ranch's neighbors. Pictures show Caboodle Ranch cats roaming the roads outside the facility, and passing easily over the inadequate fencing.
"Prior to the fence, we had problems with coyote. Craig lost a couple of his favorites to coyote attacks. It has taken a while to put fencing around the entire length of 5 acres, but it was finally finished this weekend. Please remember that almost all of these cats are feral, and were living 'in the wild' before ever arriving at Caboodle Ranch. It's unrealistic to think this is not a safer place for them to be."
Craig Grant misappropriated nonprofit funds.
Accusations of fraud followed the announcement that charges against Craig Grant included a count of scheming to defraud the public.
Bank records reveal purchases that are clearly unrelated to the care of cats, including hundreds of dollars spent on entertainment such as tickets to "Disney on Ice" and the Daytona Speedway, hotel accommodations, and clothing. This conflicts with claims made on the Caboodle Ranch Blog, below.
"Every bit of money donated to Caboodle Ranch went to the care and well-being of the cats. It went to continual upgrades of buildings and fences, veterinary care, food and shelter. Craig slept on floors, drove a truck with 450,000 miles on it, and refused to spend a single dime on himself for much needed medical and dental care. He only paid himself $1000 a month for his own basic necessities."— Caboodle Ranch Blog, Mar. 3rd, 2012
"I want to note that all the beautiful and colorful decorations at the ranch, including the gingerbread houses, playhouses and small shelters, are all donated to the ranch. Caboodle ranch uses 100% of donations for the cats care, medical, food and support. It is important to us that folks know their donations are never used for anything but the cats."— Caboodle Ranch Blog, Aug. 7th, 2010
Less than 30 days after that blog post, Caboodle Ranch bank accounts show nonprofit funds used to pay for a trip to Las Vegas, including box office tickets and new clothing.
Contrary to statements made to the public, bank statements show dozens of purchases of decorations, souvenirs, children's toys, and entertainment drawn from Caboodle Ranch donations.

Get Rid of Scale the Ecofriendly Way
What is scale, and how can a person get rid of scale the ecofriendly way?
If you see small, hard or soft, round or oval bumps on stems, leaves, or fruit, you are probably looking at an adult female hiding under a hard shell and sucking the sap out of your plant.
It can be a soft scale or a hard (armored) scale, but regardless, unless you take steps to get rid of scale, your plant will wilt and die.
(Click on the pictures to better see the brown hard shell and the honeydew.)
The female scale lays its eggs under her, and when the eggs hatch, the crawling nymphs which have legs crawl away to establish themselves in another spot.
Pretty soon not only will the plant's leaves become yellowed and distorted but also you will notice clear, sticky honeydew (a byproduct of their feeding) on the leaves and even dripping off onto the ground (or floor).
Five Ecofriendly Ways to Get Rid of Scale:
Get Rid of Scale on Outdoor Plants:
1. Attract native parasites and predators such as lady beetles and parasitic wasps to get rid of scale for you.
2. Scrub scales gently from twigs with a soft brush and soapy water and rinse well
3. In order to avoid overwintering nymphs from becoming adults, spray with dormant oil in late spring before the trees begin opening their buds. All fruit trees should get this treatment in late spring to get rid of scale AND other overwintering insect eggs.
(If you want to know more about how to spray with dormant spray, check how to spray fruit trees step by step . If you want to get ideas on what to use as your spring spray, check fruit tree spray: natural, organic, or natural.)
4. Prune and DESTROY branches and twigs that have become significantly infected. (Do not put in compost).
5. In the summer, apply summer horticultural oil or the natural homemade spray identified in Number 2.
Get Rid of Scale on Indoor Plants:
1. If you have a small infectation, you can get rid of scale by scraping the scales off your plants with your fingernail.
2. Alternatively, you can get rid of a small infestation of scale by wiping down the leaves with a damp cloth.
3. Some people take a cotton swab or even a never-used small facial sponge, dip it in alcohol, and then dot each scale to get rid of the scale. Be sure to include the underside of the pot where some immature insect may be hiding.
4. Another way to get rid of scale is to mix 1 tsp of all purpose biodegradable chemical-free concentrated cleaner with 1 pint of water and spray the plant thoroughly. Be sure to spray both sides of the leaf.
5. Finally you can use this homemade oil spray solution to spray your plant thoroughly:
|First pour 125 ml of pure biodegradable liquid soap into a blender and add 250 ml of vegetable oil with it.
|Then mix both ingredients together well and store in a jar in your cupboard. If you put this mixture in a fridge, the oil might congeal.
|When you wish to spray, dilute 1 tablespoon of this mixture into 1 liter of water. (If you have chlorinated water, drain your water at least one hour before you make this mix, and let your water stand so that the chlorine can evaporate before you use it. )
|With this new mixture you can spray your plant to get rid of scale. Make sure you spray under the leaves too.
Now the fact that my plant was attacked by scale insects shows me that my plant is in dire need of nutrients and possibly sun since I was unable to put it out on the balcony all summer. Our balconies are being upgraded, and work has been going on since April 21.
However, it looks like the railings will probably be installed this week so by the end of this week the balconies should be fixed and available. Then before fall and winter sets in, I will put the plant out when it's sunny so that it can gather energy from the sun and replenish itself.
Hopefully that will put an end to major scale attacks.
Meanwhile, to save the plant, I tried this spray and it worked extremely well at killing the insects. As you can see on this picture, the scales covering the insects seem to have melted somewhat and are not dark brown anymore. The insects under the scale are dead. It is now an easy matter to simply wipe off the dead insects from the leaves if you want your plant to fully reflect that you were able to get rid of scale.
