Basically I'd like to know if I can use weed/grass killer -- or ground clear/vegetation killer -- to keep grass from encroaching near a walkway and drive way. I've trimmed back my grass from my walkway and drive way. From the walkway -- it's only about a 1/2 inch back -- like a normal edger would trim it back (it's MAYBE an inch in some places) From my drive way it's trimmed back about an inch and a-half to two inches. Now that it's trimmed back...can I use a spray stream of weed/grass killer sprayed along the edge of the driveway and walkway -- to keep the grass from growing back into that area. I do NOT want to kill any more grass back from where it is. I just don't want it to grow into where I've trimmed it from. If I'm careful not to get any spray on the grass blades can I do this -- use the grass/weed killer? I don't know how long grass roots are...I wont' kill any of the grass I want to keep will I?This message has been edited. Last edited by: clbselah, | |||
All of those poisons need to be sprayed on plant material. None work unless they contact plants so if the space has been cleared of vegetation it would be a waste of your money to spray that area now as well as detrimental to the environment. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Because it is such a narrow band of soil you are dealing with, it may be very hard to keep any spray compressed to just that area. Careful spraying with some sort of board or barrier that can be moved along the path of spray would be helpful. Putting a mechanical barrier like an L shaped plastic retainer might possibly be a better option. The issue with the grass and weed killer is often it still allows other weeds to germinate in the area. There is also a soil sterilizer (works for 6-9 months at an application) We have used it in concrete cracks and under/next to fencing where we did not want to trim. Again careful application on a windless day is necessary. | ||||
And if some of the roots that are in the cleared area get hit by the vegetation killer, it will travel & kill the grass it's attached to. Could go in a few more inches. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
I DO have the black rubber edging right against the drive way. (The kind that has little side tabs that you stake down, not the kind that goes straight down) And I'm trying to keep my grass -- especially my crabgrass back from that edging about an inch. Slowly but surely, it just keeps encroaching back. So one option is another row of some kind of edging to keep the grass away from my......edging Any other ideas about how to keep it at bay?This message has been edited.

Pre-emergent will keep the crabgrass from germinating if you apply it in the early spring, and depending on your zone, again during the summer. | ||||
As Mgt has mentioned, liquid weed killers travel to nearby roots; you cant possibly control the way the liquid would move through the soil. Why not use the weed whacker by turning it ov4r and cut a line sharply. Grass that is growing too near the walkway, use your hands to pull it out. The weed whacker can make a very defined space between the grass and the walk and used in this way you can look back with admiration of how it cuts so well. | ||||
I've been using a manual -- foot edger -- the kind with the tall handle with a full-sized foot peddle that you step on like a scooter and rock like a half moon as you step along. But then you have to go back and pull out and pick up the inch strip you've cut back. Maybe now that I've really trimmed it back good...my landscaper can KEEP it there. I have to admit, the last time i truly CUT BACK that edge was two years ago. My landcscpaer TRIMS it with a string edger -- but that doesn't stop the grass from eventually encroaching back into the area. | ||||
If you have Quack Grass that will send its Rhizomes down 10 inches, maybe more, to get under any barrier you might put in place, so you need something that will go that deep into the soil. Spraying poisons repeatedly to control unwanted plant growth is extremely harmful to our environment. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
I've got tall fescue -- oh yeah -- and crabgrass like you wouldn't believe. While I'm asking - what's the best most aggressive crabgrass protocol you'd recommend....spring THROUGH summer. I have a yard service that does my weed preventer and fertilizer work....5 treatments early spring preventers, then a spring treatment...a summer, late summer and fall... But I declare every year about this time -- actually by about early sept -- I've got crabgrass like crazy. Sometimes I think if it weren't for crabgrass I'd have no grass at all. Obviously it's not LITERALLY that bad, and when the lawn is mowed you can't see it. But every year after my aeration and seeding...you can see that the aeration exposed just how MUCH crabgrass I have....yikes | ||||
This is going to sound strange, perhaps, but are you over fertilizing? I can't imagine any lawn needing to be fertilized more than perhaps twice a year, and even then you'd be applying only half the recommended amount at each application. Say, if you need 10 pounds a year for the size of your yard, you'd only apply 5 pounds at the time so as to not overfertilize. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
You can purchase just the crab grass preventer (pre-emergent) without the fertilizer too. Note: Every time the soil is disturbed by aeration, raking, digging, heavy weed whacking...anything that disturbs the soil skin layer...the potentially dormant crabgrass seeds can then germinate. | ||||
Most all commercial lawn services apply far too much fertilizer because what they use does not stay in the soil but washes out and into the ground water where it pollutes your drinking water. Most all turf grasses need about 2 pounds of Nitrogen per year to maintain good, healthy growth. Mulch mowing, putting the grass clippings right back into that turf can supply up to 1/2 of that need, cutting the amount of fertilizer needed even more. Lawns that are fertilized 5 times a growing season are lawns on drugs, unhealthy. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
I'll talk to them about exactly what my treatments are and report back here. | ||||

SALISBURY >> John Fitch lived through flying a P-51 fighter plane in World War II and a post-war career in automobile racing to die peacefully in his bed at age 95 at 1:20 a.m. Wednesday. He was surrounded by family and friends at the end, at home in Lime Rock only a stone's throw from Lime Rock Park race track.
Mr. Fitch was a lion in the automotive world, recognized for his on-track performances during an 18-year racing career that saw him score wins in races such as the 1951 Argentine Grand Prix, the 1955 Mille Miglia (production car class) and the Dunrod Tourist Trophy and Sebring endurance race. He is also known for his contributions to highway safety. An engineering graduate of Lehigh University, he developed the portable impact-absorbing barriers used on race tracks and highways.
He advocated for increased safety on racetracks and was a consultant to numerous research and governmental organizations on the subject of vehicle handling and dynamics.
Mr. Fitch served as the first manager for Chevrolet's Corvette racing team, and the first general manager of the Lime Rock Park race track.
"John is obviously considered part and parcel of Lime Rock race track," said Rich Roso, spokesman for the track. "He was here at the beginning and to the very end of his life. He was with us for the Historic Festival Labor Day Weekend. He will be remembered as a gentleman and a genius, an entrepreneur and a businessman."
Mr. Roso said that Mr. Fitch's final days had brought him a visit from one of the racing world's most illustrious veterans. Sir Stirling Moss, whose name is synonymous with speed, set aside decades of competitive tension to visit with the failing genius during the Labor day event.
"There had always been a tension between them since the catastrophic 1955 accident that killed 83 spectators during that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans motor race," Mr. Roso recalled. "Driver Pierre Levegh was also killed when the Mercedes Benz he was driving crashed, causing large pieces of racing car debris to fly into the crowd. Appalled by the carnage, Mr. Fitch, a member of the team, called Mercedes Benz and persuaded the firm to withdraw the rest of its drivers as a sign of respect. Mr. Moss, driving a Mercedes, was positioned to win at the time the team was called in."
As recently as Labor Day Weekend, Sir Stirling characterized Mr. Fitch's action as "stupid."
But that was set aside when Sir Stirling and his wife, Susie, were escorted to the Fitch home for a private interview. "We arranged for them to meet privately, without any press following them," said Mr. Roso. "John really liked Susie. I sat outside while they visited in his bedroom. There were just the three voices until John just fell asleep."
Mr. Roso said he was told by someone who was present when the automotive legend died that Mr. Fitch peacefully "left this world with no angst and no pain." Continued...
Automotive journalist Don Klein wrote an obituary for Mr. Fitch that appeared on the Lime Rock park Web site. He said in part, "We lost more than just one of our own early Wednesday. We lost a national treasure. At age 95, American John Cooper Fitch—the first Sports Car Club of America national champion and a star in European sports car racing in the 1950s and '60s—died … from Merkel carcinoma, a rare skin cancer, at his home surrounded by family in Lime Rock."
Mr. Fitch was introduced to motor sports by his stepfather, an executive of Stutz company. His first passion was airplanes, however, so when World War II broke out, he volunteered to become a pilot. He volunteered for the Army Air Corps in 1941 and attained the rank of captain, serving in northern Africa before entering the battle in Europe.
When Mr. Fitch returned to the U.S., he switched to road racing, catching the eye of Briggs Cunningham, who encouraged Mr. Fitch to enter the 1951 Grand Prix of Argentina, where he drove to victory a borrowed Allard that had been wrecked in a previous race.
Mr. Fitch scored a number of victories in the early '50s in Cunninghams and in 1952, and he set the fastest lap in his C-4R roadster. Mr. Fitch soon switched to Mercedes and 1952 was invited to Mexico City to pilot one of team's roadsters. He didn't win the race, but was eventually invited to join the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss and Karl Kling to race for Mercedes-Benz in that fateful 1955.
"But Fitch's racing career didn't end with Le Mans. At the end of 1955, Chevrolet's Chief Engineer, Ed Cole suggested that he help develop the Corvette into a world-class race car," Mr. Klein writes. "The two hit it off, and in early 1956, Cole asked Fitch to develop and manage a team of Corvettes he planned to enter at Sebring, just six weeks hence. … Four cars were entered, but different engines put them in two different classes: B and C Production. Against overwhelming odds, the team won both classes, giving them the team prize as well. Years later, Corvette Racing's present-day manager Doug Fehan led his drivers in a standing ovation for Fitch, remarking that he had almost single-handedly achieved in six weeks what today would take an entire dedicated organization years to accomplish."
Mr. Fitch received numerous awards, including induction into the Corvette, SCCA (inaugural class), Sebring, New England Racer, and Motorsports of America Halls of Fame. In June 2012, he was inducted into the Bloomington Gold Great Hall.

Old, nearly blind deer 'stolen' from Aichi zoo
News On Japan via Yomiuri -- Sep 24
An old and nearly blind female sika deer that has disappeared from a zoo in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, is believed to have been stolen, the zoo has said.
A zookeeper at the Higashi Park Zoological Gardens noticed the doe was missing from a cage at about 7:30 a.m. Saturday. The zoo concluded the animal had been stolen because it was unlikely it had escaped by itself.
According to the zoo, the doe, which weighs about 30 kilograms, is at least 15 years old. It was kept in an enclosed space within the cage with two other deer.
The door of the space was locked and no alarms went off, according to zoo officials.

Pointer Mate - Acupoint Locator
Whenever any organ of the body undergoes pathological changes its corresponding meridian and points show changes and certain relatively specific pathological reaction points such as auriculo-acupuncture points, meridian points appear on the skin surface. The electric resistance of the reactive points is further lowered than in normal conditions.
It can be readily located by means of an instrument which is sensitive to resistance changes.When the probe head touches a low electric resistance point, the loudspeaker gives a sound signal. Its pitch rises with the lowering of the electric resistance of the skin.
When meridian points, auriculo-acupuncture points and reactive points are more accurately located, more efficient therapeutical results can be obtained while needling these points.
With this instrument and method of detection, acupuncture of the points thus located usually produce a strong needling sensation and satisfactory therapeutical results.
The use of this instrument makes it easier to locate points, especially for the beginners. The detecting of auriculo-acupuncture points may also serve as an aid to diagnosis.

Mitt Romney just can't win.
When people say Mitt Romney is out of touch, it goes so much further than the man being rich, or having an elevator in his garage, or making a $10,000 bet with Rick Perry. It goes much further than Romney not understanding the problems of the middle class and making derisive comments directed at 47% of the population.
No, it's deeper than that. And the evidence is sort of writ large on the internet.
Consider that Mitt Romney probably "won" the first presidential debate. I wasn't surprised that Romney was declared the winner (I actually said he would by default). I was, however, surprised how flat Obama was. I don't fully believe he threw the debate-- but if I were in Obama's strategic circle and you told me he threw the debate, I'd believe you. He certainly didn't look and act and sound like the orator we expect.
That leaves pretty much two things: either Obama really was rusty and unprepared for Mitt's hard, fast run at the middle (wherein he more-or-less changed his position on the political spectrum in front of our eyes), or he purposefully wanted to give the appearance that he was treading water.
And, though I don't want to weigh in on this too heavily—because there's really no evidence he threw the debate—there are strategic reasons and upsides to doing such a thing. The first is that, the more Mitt talks, the more people perceive him wedging his foot into his mouth next to his silver spoon; and one could see how it might be effective to just let that happen and accumulate fodder for the campaign trail (more on this later).
The second is that, for Obama, any performance you give in debates two and three naturally shift the focus and momentum back in your favor. You drive the narrative. It's almost inevitable that the media will discuss how "the real Barack Obama" showed up in the second debate, provided he simply go over the very low bar he set for himself Wednesday. Any momentum Romney had in debate one is negated in debate two, and we're that much closer to the election.
So, there are reasons to do such a thing. I'm not saying he did it, and I'm not apologizing for his performance. But it's silly to dismiss it as though there isn't any strategy behind such an idea.
And that brings us back to Mitt putting his foot in his mouth, and being out of touch.
What I don't think Mitt Romney understands—and what Barack Obama didn't understand at the beginning of his term—is that you can have a 90-minute debate where you impress people with your parries, jousts, and pivots. You can drop all the zingers and stretched facts and policy details about the tax code you want. You can drop numbers and buzzwords and economic statistics.
You can do all that, but all some people are going to hear after the debate is over is: "He wants to kill Big Bird."
All they'll take away from the whole thing is, "I don't understand that other crap. But I know Big Bird. I'm going to look smart by walking around my office water cooler and saying, 'Did you hear about how Romney wants to do away with Sesame Street?'"
There was absolutely no reason for Romney to attack PBS and the debate moderator (and PBS employee), Jim Lehrer. It was a move where the upside was a dog-whistle to conservatives about cutting funding for public television, and the downside was a strategic catastrophe. Showing the country what it looks and sounds like when you fire someone—and allowing people to make the connection that, in the same stroke, you're also going to put down Mr. Snuffleupagus – has way more downside than up. Even people who do care, and do understand, all the policy details Mitt dropped are going to have a good time with the internet meme that "Romney the Grouch" is against Ernie and Bert.
Two full days after the debate, and Big Bird is still a top trend on twitter. On social networking sites, doctored pictures of a foul-mouthed Elmo wielding a switchblade directed at Mitt are everywhere. People are going to trade memes and jokes on this for a week. The conversation, a mere 48 hours after the debate, is Sesame Street—not Mitt Romney's plans for America. Debates are often remembered for that one, succinct moment or soundbite. Mitt has to understand that.
So, yes, Mitt Romney won the debate, but only to the people who are interested in the art of debating and politics. History shows us that debates are won and lost not by scorecards and pundits, but by perception; and if one of the few concrete things people walk away talking about is that Mitt Romney went after their childhood icons, that is a tainted win he cannot afford.

And as far as Big Bird goes, I believe he can stand on his own two feet.... http://www.examiner.com/article/big-bird-s-a-one-percenter-inside-sesame-street-s-tax-return

I don't care if Mitt kills Big Bird. I also hope someone kills the unnecessary trips to Mars until we get our financial house in order. What drives me nuts about Mitt is that he's constantly changes his mind about who he wants to work for. He's the perfect polititian... he'll be whatever the room wants him to be at any given moment (insert video of him singing "who let the dogs out" at an all black townhall meeting). There's no way for Obama to prepare to debate a man that changes his position right before your eyes. It's a shame too because I'm ready for Obama's time to end but I'm also not dumb enough to replace him with a worse candidate. :(

lyn; FYI the news you watch is controlled by 6 mega-corporations. It used to be 50. Maybe there was a time when there was a liberal media but that misnomer only exists in the minds of right-wing nuts.
"Do you think that anyone in the mainstream news would actually tell you that the Federal Reserve is bad for America or that we are facing a horrific derivatives bubble that could destroy the entire world financial system? Do you think that anyone in the mainstream media would actually tell you the truth about the deindustrialization of America or the truth about the voracious greed of Goldman Sachs?
Sure there are a few courageous reporters in the mainstream media that manage to slip a few stories past their corporate bosses from time to time, but in general there is a very clear understanding that there are simply certain things that you just do not say in the mainstream news."

I think that NPR is the MAIN reason these Republinazis want to end funding for PBS. They don't like all the"socialist" radio commentary! Big Bird will end up beating the guy that ties his dog to the roof of the car and hides his tax returns. Everyone with brains knows that Romney is a vulture and a shyster!

Keith Best-
Why don't you write your own blogs, and use whatever pictures you'd like on them, rather than adding pro-Romney campaign fodder to mine? It might assist in your credibility, instead of making you look like a juvenile hack who has to deface the work of others like an immature, internet troll.
Of course, if dignity is not your strong suit, I can just continue making requests to Patch editors to remove them. At least until they get so tired of doing so they take the matter into their own hands.

Please, tell us -- how does it feel to be so darned uneducated? You, James, Tom & Brian can draw straws to see who goes first.

To quote Monty Python,
Big Bird is, in fact, a "forcefull, bitter, yet zany Marxist Tycoon". Reminds me of Michael Moore.

Pat, what Is the point of your post ? You make a few gratuitous insults against Romney yet make no serious defense of tax payer funding of NPR/PBS. I find what you regularly write interestng at times but this latest post is pointless. FYI PBS & NPR generate hundreds a million of dollars in merchandise revenue each year.

Thank you for being respectful in the way you asked your question. That's a dying art around here.
This blog is more to analyze the strategy and lasting effects of the debate, and less to do with NPR/PBS's funding, It's been almost a week now, and people seem to remember three specific things: 1) Mitt Romney won the debate, and/or 2) Obama badly lost the debate, and 3) Romney tried to "kill Big Bird."
Romney needs undecideds. He needs independents. He needs to convince people of his vision and plans for this country. And if we're almost a week after a major debate win for Romney, but no one can remember what those specific visions and plans are because we're still talking about Big Bird, that is not a long-term strategy to get him to 270 from where he is.
For example: he opened the debate with a five step plan for America. Without looking on the internet, can you name it? Probably not. In order to win, Romney needs to make his long-term, specific case, and he instead fed Obama a two week talking point. His plan faded from memory. The Big Bird soundbite stuck.
Romney got a bounce in the national polls, but still has the much harder road to 270. And immediately after it, Obama got the jobs news back in his favor. That's why "won" is in quotes. It doesn't matter to the people on this comment board who performed better-- we've already decided. He needs to impress the non-political. He needs to win again and be more specific to do that.

You Know, I think I want the next President of The United States to be comfortable with the idea of firing unelected bureaurocrats who have usurped the power to reign over the American people for the last umpteen years. Frankly, Big Bird Flambe with a dash of Hot Sauce would be OK by me.

I, for one, think Big Bird ought to publish his tax returns for the last 10 years. We would all see that he is part of the 1% (millions in merchandise sales) and part of the 47% who pay no taxes.

Big Bird is self-supporting and does not receive federal funding.

James Thomas

if they're 'SELF-SUPPORTING" then they don't have a problem with de-funding NPR or PBS do they? But they are screaming their heads off aren't they with you in the chorus.
11:24 am on Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Both debaters exaggerated,
but Obama is conveniently only pointing out Romneys statements because he has little else to put forth. For some reason, the Rep do not want to use this strategy - maybe they think its not good strategy to just be negative. And, if you watched the Sunday programs, even the Dem strategists said this could hurt Obama and make him look small, the more he does it.
These "false" accusations and statements by both are largely due to repeating only part of the opponents statements or by stating the extreme results found in a range that have been given in studies. Such as, if you say something may hit between 50 to 100, one might zero in on the 50 number to support their position, while the other will use the 100 number.

This PBS comment was the only bit of actual substance that we got from Romney out of the debate, that wasn't previously discussed. For finally giving this little bit of detail on on at least one entity he has as his target, we should be happy to have at least that bit of information. But what I think is more damning about this was the glee and frivolity with which he discussed it. When he is basically saying that he plans to "fire" childhood icons, for generations and even the moderator, he didn't present this with the level of respect that it deserves. Instead, he pretty delivered it exactly as most Americans perceive how he conducted himself while cutting people's jobs. This is what ties back to confirm his comments about liking to be able to fire people. From that bit in the debate about cutting funding to PBS, it looked like he was completely in his element and that he is actually overjoyed and willing to joke about those who he is targeting for cutting. It was nothing short of perverse, that joy that he seemed to have at that moment in the debate.

It amazes me that so many so-called conservatives want to nix PBS. (Then again, it wouldn't be an issue if not for Fox "News" and the talking heads.). Real conservatives can recognize a bargain. The overall return on investment with regards to PBS is ridiculously high. PBS is an educational supplement (ask any early education teacher), generates lots of jobs nationally, and encourages math and science to students (areas where the rest of the world is kicking our American asses). And let's be honest, Big Bird has spent plenty of time keeping your kids occupied while you did things that YOU wanted to do. Face it, unless you can afford nannies and private tutors like Romney can, you WANT PBS in your home. The extra $8 a year you pay in taxes pays for itself in spades. And, despite Rush's rhetoric, cutting PBS isn't going to make even the tiniest of dents in fixing the deficit.

Have you heard about Obama's "Regional Redistribution Plan"?? Those living in the suburbs will have they're property taxes "redistributed" to urban areas. This plan will was apparently very close to passing in Columbus Ohio. This is on his Agenda for a second term. Research it for details and verification. Do you want to support the takers in urban areas with your hard earned tax dollars? Know what your voting for this November!
11:18 am on Thursday, October 11, 2012
"Do you want to support the takers in urban areas with your hard earned tax dollars?" - More of the dog whistle racism of the extreme right. Yes, go research it and you will find this conspiracy connection being made, all tracking back to a number of article written by (or using as their point of reference) Stanley Kurtz, who is a famous within conservative circles for his 2008 harping on Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. Also know for his anti-gay articles.
So yes, if you research this, you will find it, but never stop at researching to find something, continue through to research the source of what you are finding. And realize that TheGrapeHoax is using the old "urban" code to tap into the darkest side of our society, trying to use racism to create fear.
Always beware of anybody trying to get your vote by using fear and paranoia.
11:44 am on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Welcome back, Watts. LOL
I haven't researched this, so please don't challenge me on that.
But, just reading what both of you have written, couldn't one simply be against their own community's property taxes, which in Ohio go to your own city, subsidizing other cities without it being a racial issue? I mean, keeping the tax dollars within ones own city where the real property is taxed and located. Each city has its own separate and individual rates and votes for certain levies for that community. So, I don't think this necessarily has to be a Rep or Dem, or white or black issue. Just one where I vote YES for a tax increase on my property and want those taxes to remain in my city.
12:25 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Watts, since you have clearly researched the "dog whistle racism" issue, perhaps you could provide a list of words or phrases that should be considered racist. It seems to change all the time and I have a tough time keeping up. Since I cannot hear the dog whistle and rarely if ever consider someones race I would have missed that using the word "urban" was some type of code word.
If you could help me out, I am sure it would be a great public service for anyone reading the patch. Thanks in advance!
12:44 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
I should hope that "urban" wouldn't be too hard to recognize. This has been so widely used to identify predominantly African American communities that it even had mainstream acceptance for years as Billboard Magazine famously had the "Urban Chart." In the UK, they still use "urban charts" to identify releases predominately released by black artists. Actually, this is barely dog whistle.
Nothing wrong with that belief, as long as you understand that the connection of this that ThGrapeHoax was making, is fictitious. And as somebody who has dabbled with some fiction writing yourself, you should be able to pick this out pretty easily ;-)
1:22 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Watts, Thanks for your response but I still have many questions.
How about the words "Chicago" or "apartment"? Chris Matthews recently claimed that both of these words are racist/dog whistles. Can I refer to my son as my "boy" or is that a dog whistle?
If the previous quote that you mentioned had just said "Do you want to support the takers with you hard earned tax dollars" would it have still been a dog whistle?
So many questions, so little time.
1:23 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Not sure if you are reading between the lines or I should be reading between the lines.
But, going with what I said, if you want to take from my community, in the suburbs, and give this city's tax dollars to another city who has less - that will usually be an urban community. So, just because you use THAT word I don't think makes it a racial argument. Just that I want to keep my city's tax dollars here.
I never knew urban was a "bad" word. I always thought you used the words rural, suburbs and urban to describe the area. Can't it also just merely be that, or do you think I'm being to naive.
1:29 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
And, regarding this idea of "redistribution" of property taxes that people have been kicking around.
Where I live, we are voting on a school bond issue which would add to our real estate taxes - it would cost homeowners $95 a year for every $100,000 in home valuation.
Now, how many people do you think would vote for this if they knew some of their property taxes would go out of our city?
1:48 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
@ MX and lyn
1) I am not Matthews, so don't expect me to speak to what he says, but I am prone not to believe what you have posted here, as it is stated, as it either sounds like fiction or so completely out of context, that it is misrepresenting what he actually said. You can provide a link if you want me to comment on that.
2) I am really not sure if the two of you are playing dumb for rhetorical purposes or if this really is such a mind blowing concept for you. The words Urban, boy, apartment, Chicago, etc., in and of themselves, have nothing wrong with them. Urban is the how regions of certain density population are defined. I took an "Urban Planning" class and that was about street grids, etc. It is all about the context, within which they are used. That GrapeHoax post was crafted in a way to elicit the connection between traditionally African American communities and "takers." Similar to "foodstamp" president. Both the profile of urban areas and the recipients of foodstamps have changed dramatically, but for the base that these messages are targeting, these are coded to elicit the old "black versus white," "us versus them," dichotomy. And the reality is that urban areas generally are now far more diverse with multiple ethnicities and a huge influx of white America moving to the cities. But these current realities haven't disseminated to most suburban or the vast majority of rural Americans. That is who is being targeted with these messages.
1:58 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Aren't more white people on foodstamps then black people? Couldn't the reference to the foodstamp president simply be that there are more people (of all colors) on foodstamps then ever before? Why does race have to be read into everything?
Is it your belief that the vast majority of rural Americans are racist? If so, why do you beleive that? If not, why would the dog whistle matter?
1:59 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Maybe more credit should be given to the masses . Maybe most people are smart enough to come to their own conclusions. You make it sound like because someone might have a hidden agenda that most of us will fall in line and be brainwashed into anothers thinking. I didn't feel any racial undertones when the word "urban" was used. Rather, I thought of a place like Cleveland,a large city nearby, which has people living there that are NOT just black. I think sometimes people try to be overly politically correct. Sometimes I have no idea what I was suppose to be offended by because I don't think people always have an ulterior motive.
2:04 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
And when someone says Foodstamp President, I NEVER thought it meant just 1race. Just merely that he might be responsible for more people receiving foodstamps - all colors! I remember standing behind many white people with food stamps years ago - and that is who mainly resided in my community. So, why would I now or before think only 1 race is on them?
3:02 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Didn't you actually read (or comprehend) what I just wrote? Your questions are answered in the post that you are asking them about. Yes, as I said, the profile of foodstamp recipients has changed. But for the target audience, visiting cities or googling foodstamp statistics isn't part of their lives. For the target audience, these words are meant to draw from a history of popular culture to envision who these people are in the cities and/or receiving foodstamps and depending on the target person's age or life experiences those could be anything from Good Times to NWA. But the reality is that most suburbanites certainly not the vast majority of rural residents do not spend much time exploring these changing realities; first hand or otherwise. Hence, why they are the often successful targets of this type of racial coding.
3:14 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
I agree, let them make their own decisions. But, part of that decision making should include when somebody points out these messages being first and formost; fiction. Let's not get too far down this path of the race coding in the terminology, but let's get back to the fact that the whole premise of that post was factually false. And secondly, then we get into the use of these terms to determine who the target audience is. It is really targeting lower educated, more hillbilly type voters. People who have dug their heals into the sand and absolutely distance themselves from change. This post by GrapeHoax wasn't selling Romney, it was using fiction and racially coded word to elicit social dichotomy, to instill fear into people that their worlds are being stolen out from under them by this "other" that dwells in the cities that they rarely (or never) visit.
"And when someone says Foodstamp President, I NEVER thought it meant just 1race" All that means is that you were not the target audience for that. Neither am I, but it doesn't make me ignorant of what the implications are when using this terminology. If you don't think that every single one of these terms that you hear repeated hasn't been tested and determined by renegade thinktakers to elicit some feeling to distance people from voting for a black president, then you have your head buried in the sand about how the process actually works.
3:24 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
I'm sorry, but I don't want to live in your world where everything means something else and where I need to look for more than one meaning in what someone says.
What you say might apply to some, but I think the vast majority have a purer heart.
3:27 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
And not just tested by one side and not the other. Of course, the same is done on the left. But, when it comes down to racism, Republicans have a lock on that market. Just so this doesn't sound like I am calling Republicans racists (and this should also clarify things for MZ and his questions about rural Americans). Try to think back to the old logic circles that you had in high school. First of all, you have this massive circle of 55 million+ Republicans (and because of its relevance to the race discussion this circle will include Tea Party Libertarians). Now the circle of racists (anybody who beliefs that certain social characteristics are inherently tied to race) is far smaller, but exists almost exclusively within the larger Republican bubble. Not entirely, but by far enough to look at them as a subset of the base. Now similarly, you can create the smaller (based on individuals and not geographic space) bubble of rural Americans and they also fall as a subset of the Republican base. And those two smaller bubbles, each predominantly coexisting inside the larger Republican bubble, also significantly overlap.
3:39 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
And these realities are not simply going to be ignored by the party. Because there is yet another way of looking at the bubbles and that is changing "Republicans" to "Conservatives" and that is their potential voter base. Now with that expansion, also comes the expansion of the bubble of racists and rural residents. Now we introduce another bubble to this and that is the lower educated. These are people who statistically attain lower levels of education and/or have lower IQs. These are also statistically part of the red base areas. But these are not very motivated voters. So you can't motivate them without creating a "fear" from which they feel they will be threatened if they don't vote. So now you have three subset circles, all with significant overlap and each with outliers, as well. Now between all of these, you have a far more significant part of the potential conservative voter base, who understand and are motivated more from fear of the "other," than they ever would be with a direct argument for a Republican candidate. That is the target audience for that GrapeHoax post.
7:55 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Watts, I would have to politely disagree with you. At least from my observations the democrat side seems to pay way more attention to race than does the republican side. My anecdotal evidence consists of having worked around union members for over a decade. These were blue collar workers who voted democrat and were some of the most racist people I have ever met. These weren't isolated incidents or from a single union or location. It was quite widespread. They were roughly evenly split between urban and rural settings.
In Avon Lake (certainly not urban) I am amazed by the racist comments that come from my well educated liberal friends mouths. They vote a strait democrat ticket year after year including for Obama and still openly utter racist terms, not dog whistles but flat out racist.
Conversely, most business owners that I know (and there are many) couldn't care less about the color of ones skin. Can he or she do the job and help make profits is all that matters.
I think most Americans, certainly not all, judge based on character, not color. We all carry stero-types, it is only natural. But I think most are deaf to dog whistles.
4:02 pm on Saturday, October 13, 2012
Here are some urban lefties that appear by the article to be flat out racists under the guise of helping the kids. A school board voting to have different standards based on race. Your thoughts?
3:52 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to live in your world where everything means something else and where I need to look for more than one meaning in what someone says."
Unless you are posting on here from another planet, you are living in this world. You may want to ignore it and that is exactly what these message makers are hoping for, but it doesn't change what is actually happening.
3:55 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Although I avoid race discussions on public forums for fear of being misunderstood in what I say or offending someone, I will try a couple of "thoughts" in response to your comments.
Why would you say that racism prevails mainly in the Rep party. I know there are people who will not vote for Obama because he is half black. But, isn't the number around 90% of the black population will vote for him, and the main reaon for many is because of skin color?
Also, why do you speak of fear among white people. If they have not been subject to discrimination, then why should this color of people, white, fear? They do not have any long built in hatred or resentment of past mistreatments. Isn't that what would cause one to be more racist?
I'd like to think I'm openminded on this subject. But, I do know that we all bring our own inner feelings that we may not even be aware of. I hope I treat everyone the same - regardless of color. And, that may mean I may not like someone either, regardless of color.
4:16 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
"If they have not been subject to discrimination, then why should this color of people, white, fear? They do not have any long built in hatred or resentment of past mistreatments. Isn't that what would cause one to be more racist?"
Wow...I don't even know what to say to this post. You should take some social anthropology classes or something in regards to the issue of race relations. I dont expect most people to have taken such classes, but hopefully most people still wouldn't be this oblivious on the subject to be asking these types of questions. On one side, they are almost profound, in that if these were answerable, then there would be no racism. But the fact that you are asking them here...like this...makes me believe that this is all coming from a truly naive point of knowledge on the subject. "Out of the louth of babes."
4:16 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
As I assume you DO live in California, and I live in Ohio - how much of that accounts for our differences and experiences from which we draw?
And, as Ohio is a crucial state for this election, as you eluded to in a recent post ("with Ohio always being looked at as defining the true barometer of the nations final vote"), I assume that is why so many out of state posters have an interest in posting on this areas Patch. But maybe the comments people are posting from out of the area who do not know this area actually are not as relevant to our discussion as you think - other than to try and sway people.
Well, its been more pleasant this time around.
Have to go.
Almost dinner in this part of the country.
5:02 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
If I were you, I would be less concerned about what I am posting here over what and why somebody like GrapeHoax is posting what they posted first. When somebody first posts something fictitious, they are depending on a complete lack of critical thinking on the part of the audience. Then, if it is racially coded, then they presume an audience that is also going to react to that (if even at a subconscious level). At least when I post something, I am not spinning some conspiracy theory, I usually try to pick the most objective and trusted sources that I can and very frequently, I can actually find what I want on traditionally conservative sites and I still hear people saying blah, blah blah because they don't even take the time to look. Why do you think that I got in your face in that other thread, when you started down that path of falsehoods against me? It wasn't just that it was being intellectually lazy on your part not to have been able to substantiate anything that you said, but because it was wholly disingenuous to me and to others on your local patch who previously thought that they could probably at least trust what you say. Now I think that you probably realize how wrong you were and that I am always up for legitimate discussions. And nicer discussion or not, guess what...I am still waiting for that apology.
7:28 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
I don't know why I bothered with you today. I thought just maybe this fellow might be interested in an intellectual exchange. But I see you would rather put down someone.
I should have known you would once again continue down this road.
For the last time, as I'm not going to try on any topic again with you because you seem to like to leave your "opponent" a lesser person than they may truly be,...
I say I'm sorry when appropriate - not on the demands of someone who is tearing me apart and making a mountain out of a molehill. I said some peoples posts have been deleted and this is a fact. And I did not know if any of yours had or had not been - so I'm not saying I'm sorry about that! And if you think I'm lazy because I'm for not researching why those posts were deleted, go ahead and think that. If you want to know why they were, YOU look it up. I really don't care - some repeated posts across the country have been deleted so therefore, logic prevails that editors felt TOS were violated.
8:45 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Your first post directed toward me as a response to a very credible and unbiased statistical analysis from Nate Silver:
"... keep your uninformed and misleading comments to your own states Patch."
Your next post to me:
"Go back to your own local Patch, at least your own state. I wouldn't mind if you had an interest in this area. But I have a problem with all of you spreading your garbage on other Patch networks just to promote you agendas, for free and going unchecked."
Then you started down your path of multiple posts grouping me in with some subset that you defined in your own mind, along with "policies" that also existed in your own mind:
"I have seen many times that a posters comments have gone from say 20 different Patch to maybe 12, which means 8 editors did the ethical and proper thing - deleted them."
Then continuing your insults to me: "Problem is, you don't want to "engage", but rather you bring your own brand of "ignorance" attached to your uninformed comments."
- all of which I think that you now personally know isn't true, but if you had spent even two seconds to look at my post history you could have known that wasn't true.
So please tell me at what point do you feel compelled to be a decent human being and apologize? Is it only after you start to insult my family members and tell people that I worship at the alter of satan? What lines do you have to cross before you feel that an apology is due? Again, your audience awaits.
4:06 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
I don't agree Watts. Republicans hated Clinton too.
4:41 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Sorry, I don't know what that comment means. Was that a joke because some people jokingly refer to Clinton as our first "black" president?
4:22 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2012
I hope that you don't expect me to be able to completely answer what makes people racists. In a nutshell, it usually comes from ignorance. That ignorance isn't always education based, but can come from lack of life experience, which is also why we see it disproportionally higher in areas of both lower education and rural displacement. My girlfriends grandmother had never in her life left a rural part of Northern MN, until one day when she had to go to Minneapolis and that was the first time that she saw a black person in real life. She wasn't a bad person by nature, but all she knew about African Americans, was what she had seen on TV. And through her life, those depictions were far from favorable. So her understanding was that black people were substantially different than white. Without question, her beliefs would be considered racist, yet the ignorance from which these beliefs came, originated from her lack of life experience of interacting in an integrated society.
Also, the last line of that last post was supposed to be the famous phrase "out of the mouth of babes," but the post is pending approval, so I can't fix it.

'For a Good Time Call'
★★1/2 stars
There's one nice thing for certain about the success of last year's raunch-empowered "Bridesmaid" — its boffo box office has cleared the way for no-holds-barred woman-centric comedies in theaters and on TV.
Though it remains to be seen whether female performers, writers and producers will find a way to use this opportunity to create films by women/for women to honestly reflect the feminine point of view — as opposed to merely emulating the current strain of rude-crude comedies made by guys/for guys. Especially those that go low to meet current marketplace expectations instead of addressing real issues between people without all the old, artificially imposed constraints that lingered, like a bad hangover, from the self-censoring Motion Picture Production Code of 1930.
"For a Good Time Call" seems to be trying to have it both ways, though its hard-core raunchiness and its ideas about love and friendship from the woman's point of view come across as equally formulaic. It works reasonably well, though, within limits, because of the chemistry between its female leads.
Lauren and Katie (Lauren Powell and Ari Graynor) are old college best-enemies-forever, who haven't seen each other since that fateful evening in which Lauren ejected Katie from her car in a scary neighborhood after an unfortunate incident in which drunken Katie's attempt to relieve herself in a fast-food drink cup went disastrously awry. Now in their 20s in New York, they are brought together again when organized and somewhat dull Lauren is given the heave-ho by her obnoxious boyfriend and free-spirited, artistic, yet clueless Katie learns she's about to be evicted from her grandmother's fabulous (but no-longer-rent-controlled) apartment — and mutual best gay-guy-friend Jesse (Justin Long) sees only one way to keep them both off the street.
There's plenty of polite hatred when Katie and Lauren finally move in togethee — especially when Lauren realizes that one of Katie's many part-time jobs involves delivering dollar-a-minute phone-sex to an exploitive company that keeps four dollars for itself. But when Lauren loses her job and her dream job at a top publisher seems to evaporate, she proposes launching an indie phone-sex service with herself as manager and Katie as star — and that, as Bogart says in "Casablanca," is the start of a beautiful friendship.
"For a Good Time Call" pretty much evenly divides its time from that point between Katie's skeevy on-the-phone antics and increasingly accelerated bonding between the new gal pals, involving much squealing, buying of gifts, fake-orgasm tutorials, mutual admiration of undies and the ever-growing sense that the two former enemies are falling in love. Especially after Lauren signs on as another phone-sex provider, after learning that the business has bagged $12,000 in three weeks.
Admittedly, I'm 25-years-too old and gender-disqualified, perhaps, but I found most of the comedy in "For a Good Time Call" — especially the occasional interludes involving special-guest celebrity callers such as Seth Rogen perving on the other end of the line — more embarrassing than funny. And my marginal interest in what seemed to be the unlikely love story between previously straight Katie and Lauren given the flip-flop treatment near the finale, with potential boyfriends always on the horizon, and never really resolved the question one way or another. Will they be lovers, or merely lesbi-gal-pals forever?
In the end, it's hard to care either way.

Bin Laden thriller 'Zero Dark Thirty' courts controversy — and acclaim
FILM There was hella hoopla over Kathryn Bigelow being the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Director, for 2010's The Hurt Locker. It's a good possibility she'll soon be the first woman to win two directing Oscars, if Zero Dark Thirty's remarkable haul of critical kudos continues into statuette season.
But even if Zero (more on that below) doesn't claim cinema's top prize, Bigelow will probably win another Best Directing Oscar before another woman anyway. She's just about the only female director making films that work Oscar's magic formula: critically praised, culturally significant, headline-grabbing, and popularly loved (with box-office hauls to match). Women may be making inroads on the screenwriting end of things (and you'll find lauded female names among documentary, foreign-language, and film-producing credits), but the most successful post-millennial female directors — Sofia Coppola (a Best Original Screenplay winner for 2003's Lost in Translation), Catherine Hardwicke, Andrea Arnold, Debra Granick, Lisa Cholodenko, Lynn Shelton, Kelly Reichardt, and Sarah Polley, to name a few — haven't been able to tick enough of those golden boxes.
Whether or not a film wins an Oscar is hardly a measure of its true worth. But hoisting a Best Directing Oscar does count for something important, particularly in an industry that largely runs on male power. Bigelow's success is particularly notable because she does not make so-called "women's pictures," whatever that may mean (she did make a vampire flick long before Hardwicke, though, as fans of 1987's Near Dark will recall). With the exception of 2000's little-seen The Weight of Water and 1989's Blue Steel (would anyone remember that movie, if not for Derek Zoolander?) — with honorable mention for Angela Bassett's formidable supporting turn in 1995's Strange Days — Bigelow's films tend to be, uh, "men's pictures."
The surfing, skydiving, bank-robbin' three-punch of Point Break (1991) allowed Keanu Reeves to set a course for action-hero superstardom (without it, he'd never have been cast in 1994's Speed); though the film features a traditional romantic subplot, it's mostly about the bromance between Reeves' undercover FBI agent and Patrick Swayze's New Age macho man. K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) was Bigelow's first foray into a military milieu; its tale of trouble aboard a Soviet nuclear submarine, circa 1961, was couched in a $100 million production that neither earned back its budget nor convinced anyone of Harrison Ford's ability to do a Russian accent. (Interestingly, the film's Rotten Tomatoes summary foreshadows the reception to date of Zero Dark Thirty: "A gripping drama even though the filmmakers have taken liberties with the facts.")
Bigelow rebounded with The Hurt Locker (2008) — scooping up her accolades in front of ex-husband and former film-production partner James Cameron, whose 2008 Avatar grossed billions but didn't win over Academy voters. Set during the Iraq War, The Hurt Locker follows the high-stakes, high-tension routine of a three-man bomb disposal team. It launched actor Jeremy Renner to stardom, and earned a screenwriting Oscar for Mark Boal, a journalist who'd been embedded with a US Army bomb squad. Along with the 2008 HBO mini-series Generation Kill (based on a book written by a journalist embedded with the Marines at almost the same time as Boal), The Hurt Locker — a tense, gritty thriller shot using hand-held cameras — was one of the first large-scale docu-dramas based on the months immediately following the 2003 invasion.
Can't wait to see if Dianne Feinstein has a point or is just hysterical about being next door neighbors with the Zero Dark Thirty producer and sole financier Megan Ellison, daughter to the third richest man in America.
For anyone thinking about leaks. That is.
Plus trying to figure out does this mean Larry Ellison and family are, or are not, campaign contributors. Sixth richest man in the world.
