Shame on Fiverr
I was a new seller on Fiverr, and I had a five star rating. Without warning, Fiverr deactivated my account. They said that I was trying to get two reviews for the same gig which was not true. I explained what happened, and I have not received a response from them. Hopefully, I will get the money they owe me for the assignments that I have completed.
Fiverr is not a scam
I worked on Fiverr.com and made some reasonable money.
The only problem that I found was how much some buyers expect for just $5!
Not a scam though. Just play by the rules and don't expect to get rich quick, and you'll'll be fine.
Really Easy To Use
I have loved working part time on Fiverr, but sometimes I get those people who just CANNOT read! It infuriates me when someone orders my gig, demands more than what my gig offers, then leaves a negative review or cancels the order, giving me a bad reputation when all I did was tell them I won't be able to do what they are asking.
Other than that, everything has been great! :) I always make sure to look through reviews and read the full title and description before ordering anything, just to be sure I know what I am buying. No problems there ... I've yet to run into a fraud seller this way!
The $1 commission for ever $5 is a little high but more than fair. Think about it ... Fiverr is giving you an store with no monthly fee or down payment! If you don't sell then you don't have to pay! Perfectly simple and a lot easier than setting up your own website, paying for domain names, certifications, etc, and renting out a spot on a server. Seriously, they even bring traffic through regular and efficient advertising! For a 20% fee that is awesome!
Censorship at work
I ordered a gig from alliemadison12, and she sent an inferior video with the audio and video parts of according to Youtube when I tried to post it. When I asked for her to fix it, she said it was fine "as you can see." I posted a negative review on Fiverr, and they censored it twice even though I told the truth and in proper language, so I am posting my review here. Fiverr has no integrity.
@peter In response to "Peter," This man, Peter Jensen whose Fiverr username is sandals4less, ordered a video from me. I delivered a great video that was perfectly in-sync. Peter then messaged me complaining that the audio and video did not match up, so I went out of my way to upload the video to other sites so he would be able to download it in-sync. He asked for a refund, which I found to be suspicious because I had contacted other people, sending the video, asking if it was in sync for them. I came across his youtube channgel, and sure enough, he was using my video which was perfectly in sync, that he demanded a refund for! I did some research on Peter Jensen and found multiple reports on businesses he has owned, such as sandals4less (a site in which he scams people into buying sandals, and never delivers and refunds.) He changes his phone numbers and website addresses monthly. He now has a limousine company in Standish Maine, and due to negative reviews, changes his website address constantly. He also is known to go to review sites to give his businesses positive reviews. Peter Jensen can not be trusted, and he is posting bad things about me all over the internet.
Complete Scammers Stolen My Money
i was the seller on fiverr.com and they blocked my account for no reason i was designing logos on this sites and completed over 29 orders, 6 delivered and 42 in queue pending!
they cancelled all the 42 + 6 delivered orders also disabled my account. I told them clearly that i haven't got paid for the work the copyrights of the work i have done is still mine and no buyer can use it untill i get paid for the work! But they didn't responded!
fiverr tells everyone about their terms but they don't follow it themselves and its piece of crap for users not for fiverr!
They are big scams they said to me i need to wait for 3 months to get paid! so if 3months are not over no buyer can use my logos as they copyrighted!
Fiverr support is even worse and don't provide any support at all.
Stay away from them they are complete scammers. They stole about $320 from me i am thinking of reporting them online for potential fraud and scam

2007 Zinfandel
February 13, 2011 — 1 comment
I'm tasting the 2007 Estate Zinfandel right now and thinking about how I'm going to miss this wine. We'll be releasing the 2008 vintage in March and the 2007 will be locked in the wine library. With all of its bright red fruit, pepper and chocolate notes, the 2007 Zin is one of my favorites. We should all buy a few more bottles before it goes away! http://shop.montelena.com/

SuperBowl Wrap-Up
February 7, 2011 — comment
SuperBowl weekend brings many things to the forefront of our lives: a great sporting event, fun finger foods, parties with friends and family and, of course, the newest commercials. Normally, we fast-forward through the commercials to get back to our regularly-scheduled programming, but the SuperBowl is different – the commercials are part of the main event! So this year, while enjoying unseasonably warm February weather (80 degrees!?), we sipped some Chateau Montelena Sauvignon Blanc with our spicy chicken wings (an unusual but tasty pairing!) and soaked up the best commercials from the 2011 SuperBowl. Our favorites, in no particular order:
What was your favorite commercial of SuperBowl 2011? And did you discover any unique food/wine pairings? We like those too.
Cover Crops: More than Mustard
February 5, 2011 — 1 comment
Every year around this time visitors to wine country will note wild mustard, fava beans and other cover crops growing in the rows between the vines. These are used by vineyard managers to help control pests, help with irrigation and to add nutrients to the soil. Here at Chateau Montelena, our Vineyard Manager Dave Vella has even planted turnip greens. Sounds like only edible foods are used, but that is not the case. We also use Triticale and barley, Zorro fescue, Bell beans, oats, and brassica. The mustard and other cover crops grow at a rapid rate, especially when we have periods of rain followed by days of sunshine. Watch the mustard grow before your eyes…
Tuesday Winemaker Tastings
February 3, 2011 — comment
Sit down with Winemaker Cameron Parry to sample a few of his favorite wines, hand-selected for this special tasting, and perhaps even a barrel sample or two. While these tastings are offered seasonally (Cameron is pre-occupied with harvest activities during the autumn months), this time of year tends to be ideal for visiting as it's a bit quieter in the tasting room and you'll have plenty of time to ask those burning questions about the winemaking process. These unique opportunities to sit down and taste wine with our Winemaker are available on on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. Click here for more information or to book your tasting.
Keep in mind that Napa Valley tends to be less crowded during the winter months of January, February and March, so you'll have no trouble getting that restaurant reservation. We hope that's all the motivation you need to come and see us soon.

It looked like eight angels had descended from heaven and landed in front of the Beauvallon, of all places. For a week, the eight-foot-tall Carrera marble sculptures gazed upon the fancy loft/retail project and all the traffic passing by on Lincoln Street, plucking their lyres and waiting for rapture. Meanwhile, members of the Beauvallon sales staff were just waiting to find out what the hell the statues were doing there. "I wish I knew," sighed one. "They just appeared on the lawn, like, nine days ago. People keep coming by and putting signs on them. One said, ŒI'm a tomato,' I guess because they're outside Wholly Tomato. Another woman came and put something up about commercialism -- I don't know, some radical stuff."
A call to the project developer, BCN Development, didn't illuminate the situation any further. On Monday, all a certain BCN employee named Yianni could offer Off Limits was this: "The reason they're out there is because the truck was too tall to fit in the garage. But they'll be gone tomorrow."
Gone where?
"Very far away."
Do they belong to someone in the building?
"I don't know any more than that."
So you know that they're leaving, but not how eight angels came to reside in front of your development?
"Are you going to use my name?"
Yes. Can you spell it for us?
"Are you going to make me look good or bad?"
We leave all judgments up to fallen angels.
On Tuesday, when the angels took off for points unknown, Yianni called back with an update. Turns out the statues are for sale, but they must go in sets of four. Sounds like a heavenly deal.
What's in a name? The same day it was reported that serial rapist Brent Brents had told police he'd committed as many as ten more sexual assaults in the Denver area, another brazen sexual assault was reportedly perpetrated by another unfortunately named suspect. On February 25, a 43-year-old male named Blakey Blake allegedly threatened a female acquaintance with a knife inside a house near Curtis Park. According to police records, Blake then raped and sodomized the victim, who fled after the assault. The victim did not report the crime until the next day; Blake, described as having a bald head and an unshaven face, remains at large.
Future parents, remember this tale of two perps when considering tagging your boy child with a redundant moniker. You might as well name the kid Rapist Rapist. Or Life Sentence.
Scene and herd: Last weekend's memorial to Hunter S. Thompson was private, but a squad of local fans will celebrate the good doctor's life very, very publicly this Saturday with a float in Denver's St. Patrick's Day Parade. The executive committee of the Fantastic Hosts promises "a mobile wake for an American icon, literary genius, outlaw journalist and a man who could outdrink Sinatra on a bad day. Our theme is Freak Power. Everybody on the Gonzo Express can get a little extra nutty in the good doctor's name, and nobody will dare challenge our tribute to this American legend." Certainly not us The greening of Denver commences on March 10, when Wazee Street is officially renamed Tooley Street, after late, great Denver district attorney Dale Tooley. But don't look for the City and County Buildingto follow suit. Although Heart Awareness Month -- which the city commemorated in February by changing all the bulbs on the tower -- is long past, the building remains the largest red-light district this side of Colfax.
On the Record
Mike Miles is back at his desk as assistant superintendent of schools in Fountain, while Ken Salazar, the man who defeated him in the Democratic primary last year, is now sitting at his desk in the U.S. Senate. But Miles -- or at least his cadre of ardent supporters -- has secured a belated victory. After orchestrating one of the only large-scale Democratic wins in the country, Chris Gates was ousted as Colorado Democratic Party chair last Saturday, losing by three votes to Miles supporter Pat Waak. Gates is going the full Gore, demanding a recount -- but in the meantime, Off Limits asked Miles to teach us a few things about Democratic upsets.
Q: What direction would you like to see the state party go under Pat Waak's leadership?
A: Toward the end of the last campaign cycle, there were a lot of groups that cropped up -- activist groups -- in Colorado and around the country, and we will either have duplication of effort or we'll have synergy. I'm hoping Pat Waak can tap the energy of these various groups and bring cohesion to the message. It may seem like there's more controversy or rancor for the moment, but if we step back and we look at political engagement by ordinary folks, it's definitely up. That's a good thing for democracy. As a former civics teacher, I sometimes wring my hands at the lack of political engagement. Even if it's going to cause some people to have heated discussions, it's not a bad thing.

The Golden State Warriors' past two home games have both been huge come-from-behind wins, rallying from a 27 and 18-point deficits to beat Toronto and Dallas, respectively.
But it's never a good strategy to dig a hole early on in the game, because big comeback wins don't come very often. The Warriors (13-11) learned that the hard way tonight, falling 116-112 to the Houston Rockets at Oracle Arena.
As was the case in their previous home games, the Warriors struggled mightily in the first half and found themselves down by 13 at one point. They began the fourth quarter down 82-73, but then went on a 16-7 run to start the quarter and tie the game. Marreese Speights, who had his best game of the season with 16 points and nine rebounds, scored 12 points in the fourth. His basket with 6:35 left in the game gave the Warriors a 91-90 lead.
But the Rockets (15-8) would take over from there. James Harden and Patrick Beverly caused nightmares for the Warriors down the stretch. Beverly essentially iced the game with two field goals down the stretch that gave the Rockets a 107-100 lead with under a minute to play.
Tale of the Tape
- Field Goals: 47.8% (43-90)
- 3-Pointers: 27.3% (6-22)
- Rebounds: 56
- Assists: 22
- Turnovers: 18
- Foul shooting: 83.3% (20-24)
- Field Goals: 49.4% (39-79)
- 3-Pointers: 41.4% (12-29)
- Rebounds: 32
- Assists: 20
- Turnovers: 15
- Foul shooting: 74.3% (26-35)
The "Clank" Brothers
The Warriors live and die on the three-pointer. More than often, they live on it, leading the league with a 41.8 percent average from behind the arc.
But tonight they died on it, and boy was it ugly. Golden State shot a measly 6-of-22 on threes, and the Splash Brothers — Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson — looked more like the "Clank" Brothers, combining to make just two of 14 attempts from three. Thompson struggled yet again from the field, and his only three-pointer came during garbage time. Curry finished with 20 points, but had an ugly plus-minus rating of -18.
Crashing the Glass
The Warriors had their way with the Rockets on the glass all night, out-rebounding them 56-22. In fact, that's the first time they have out-rebounded an opponent by 24 since 2001. Andrew Bogut had himself a fine game, scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 boards.
Good to Know
The Warriors have now lost 18 of their last 22 games against the Rockets, including both matchups this season.
Can you say, "Houston, we have a problem"?
Bottom Line
Considering how the Warriors were straight-up dominated in their previous matchup against Houston earlier this season, it is a little comforting to know that they were at least competitive tonight and could have come away with a win.
But "could have won" is in no way the same as a win, and any player will tell you that there's no such thing as a silver lining.
For whatever reason, the Warriors are developing an awful habit of starting games extremely lackadaisical and slow, then having to make a spirited comeback just to get themselves back in the game late. This type of play may thrill fans and make for exciting basketball, but it sure doesn't thrill Mark Jackson and his coaching staff.
Perhaps a few more losses like this will stimulate this team. Sure, they beat the Mavericks and Raptors with thrilling comebacks, but they also lost to the Bobcats and now the Rockets when their comeback fell short.
Bottom line: whatever they're doing, it's not a good formula for success moving forward.
What's on Tap
The Warriors will travel to Phoenix to play the Suns on Sunday. Yes, those Suns that have exceeded expectations and are ahead of the Warriors in the standings.
Oh, and by the way, if the playoffs started today, the Warriors wouldn't be in it.
Happy Friday.

Preach Love.
After about a year of trying to cope with the fact that I could not change this blog to my primary blog, I've finally given up and decided to start afresh. For that and some other reasons, I'm carrying Arrival Attempts elsewhere.
Please feel free to meet me there. I'll leave this up for the day. But by tomorrow I'll be saying goodbye…
The Zen Playground will soon be moving as well. Just letting you guys know. Until I get that process started, you can follow me here!
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.


text: Last weekend our Barony had its yearly demo at a local "art park". It's a lovely site, totally primitive, and people have been doing a good job of keeping the modern stuff out of the demo. pictures: http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f335/valkyr8/Caponi%202009/ The first four pictures are of the cooking setup and her spice identification board--my job was to stand behind the table and talk to people about medieval cookery and spices while Giovanna did things with food and fire. Oh, and I chopped onions and apples and herbs. Anyway, we did two bean recipes from Platina--the bean cake and the beans with onions and figs. We didn't have a mortar and pestle so I think the bean cake came out a lot chunkier than it should have--has anyone ever done that recipe that could comment? Margaret FitzWilliam

Arthritis Health Center
Product Recall: Please Return Your Hip
Feb. 26, 2001 (Washington) -- When 63-year-old Estelle Knowland got a Sulzer Orthopedics hip implant last March, she thought it would end 20 years of disabling arthritis. "My expectation was that following a period of recovery, I would be fine. I would be pain-free," Knowland tells WebMD.
However, the San Francisco-area resident was shocked when she got a call from her surgeon in December telling her the bad news -- some 17,000 of the devices were being recalled nationwide because of a manufacturing flaw. Specifically, an oily residue on the upper part of the implant, where the cup fits into the ball, could cause the prosthesis to loosen.
While Sulzer officials say the company "deeply regrets any effect this may have on patients," a number will have to have the implants removed. H.M. Reynolds, MD, the Oakland, Calif., orthopaedic surgeon who put in Knowland's device, estimates he'll have to replace 80 of the 250 Sulzer artificial hips he's implanted, according to his research assistant Jacob Keeperman, BS.
It's not clear yet whether Knowland will need a replacement, but her bone hasn't grown into the device as anticipated. She needs drugs to keep the pain in check, and those cause an allergic reaction.
Even though the company promises to pay all uncovered out-of-pocket costs for additional surgery, Knowland is dreading another trip to the operating room to remove a device she thought would last 30 years -- essentially, the rest of her life.
"Postsurgery, the first few days are monstrous," she says.
Ironically, Knowland says that while she was warned about the various risks of surgery -- including reactions to anesthesia, blood clots, and pain -- the doctor said virtually nothing about possible pitfalls of the implant.
Knowland's situation is not unique, according to a blue-ribbon panel that prepared a report last year on medical device performance for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"We heard from enough people to convince me that there are an awful lot of folks out there who aren't getting the kind of information that they need -- not just to decide whether or not to have the procedure, but to really know how to deal with it after they've had it," says Edward Brandt Jr., MD, PhD, panel chair and director of the Center for Health Policy at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City.
According to a spokesperson for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), about 1,000 medical devices are recalled annually. Many of the problems are minor, but some, like defective pacemaker leads, can be life threatening.
The public seems to have a different view of devices than they do of drugs, Brandt says, and believes that a drug or drug interaction is more likely to cause problems than a device would be. "I just don't think they think enough about the possibilities of similar things happening with devices," Brandt says.

Snazzy mini-documentary on the Question featuring Dennis O'Neil, Greg Rucka, and Jeffrey Combs!
…and Rick Burchett. I don't understand why this vid had so few notes. I know there's more than a handful of Question fans around here. So guys, watch it, reblog, spread the love. How many times have you seen Dennis O'Neil or Greg Rucka speak about a character they've written, redefined, and understand inside out?
Had no idea this was already out….
Montoya and Dee share a somewhat troubled moment.
Gotham Central #24
I'll be honest here, I like Renee and Daria, a lot more that Renee and Kate.
[Image description: A series of panels from the Birds of Prey fan comic by Valerie Renee and Krystal Beisick. Black Canary busts on to the scene, kicking a dude in a full page splash. Renee is stunned by how beautiful and attractive Dinah is, and pulls off her mask to get a better look.]
Dinah: Sorry I'm late, ladies. All these alleys start to look alike after a while.
Helena: [to Renee] Now's not the best time, Romeo.
Renee: [pulling her mask back on.] You and your damn secrets—
I mocked this up for fun. =D
hildebabble gave me the idea!
(EDIT: FFFFFFF! Fixed the spelling error… do do do…)
"Nice flowers, Renee! You do Poison Ivy a favor?"
[Detective Comics #747]
Reblogging this because I just realized:
1. This was before Renee came out
2. Considering that now, it makes the Poison Ivy comment 50x funnier to me.
3. Greg Rucka had to have been planning this all along.
That's why when people are like "Oh, but Renee was so straight for so long!" I invite them to read this and then come talk at me about how straight Renee was before Gotham Central.
Okay I'm a big fan of Renee Montoya. But realistically her character was probably was straight before Gotham Central. And only looking back you probably could make up a excuse for this, simply because there is so little evidence of her sexuality because she was a minor character. For history sake, during that time Gordon clashed with Mayor Krol, who had him replaced as Commissioner by Essen. Essen made Bock her assistant, much as Montoya had been Gordon's. Montoya kept in touch with James Gordon as he started his campaign as a third party candidate for mayorship ; at the same time she dated a male Coast Guard captain named Johnny.
In hindsight, the simplest No-Prize explanation might be that her close friend Johnny was gay, and that they decided to pretend to date each other in order to remain closeted given their gay-hostile work environments. Looking back, you could just say that it was misdirection to keep up the appearances since she uncharacteristically leaked this detail of her private life to the rest of the MCU.
Renee Montoya and Victoria Hand.
well gosh
things I didn't know I super want
I'm also going to assume the writer of this tale didn't know that she was a closeted lesbian. Since she is the only female cop in Gotham I can think of. It's taken from a page of Batman 80-Page Giant Vol 1 1 called Desires.
A video I just made. Tell me if you like it.

My friend Chris and I went to the Volta region this weekend to stay with his drum teacher in the village he grew up in and to go to a local funeral. After a long Tro-Tro ride we arrived late Friday night in a small compound of huts. Chris's teacher, Johnson, gave us each some fufu and a shot of local Gin, gave us two small mats and sent us to bed in a little hut next to his. In the morning over a breakfast of boiled yam and egg stew we asked him, "So what time is the funeral?" He just looked at us and said "I don't know, I wasn't invited to one. I am just sure somebody has is having a funeral, so we will go find one and ask if we can join in."
This alone was baffling to us seeing as in America you would never just walk in to somebodies funeral you didn't know. But we had no choice except to follow Johnson's lead.
After wandering around the village and listening to Johnson speak in a language we didn't understand a word of to pretty much every person we passed we found out there were three funerals happening in the local town that Saturday. We were going to go to each location and hope to find one that we would be invited to stay at. Chris and I were again, confused, constantly sharing eye contact mentally saying to each other "What the hell is going on??" But we had no choice except for to trust Johnson.
We arrived at the first location, and the funeral was already over. The second location, and they had already ended the festivities and begun the burial, finally we came to the third funeral location and thankfully they were still celebrating. At first we stood on the outskirts, Johnson said we had to wait to be invited inside. After about ten minutes an old man came over to us and invited us to sit with the elders. We watched as members of the community danced, sang, and played drums. It was hard to believe we were at a funeral because everyone seemed so full of joy. In Ghana, a traditional funeral is a big party- massively different from the ceremonies that take place in the Western World. At one point Chris turned to me and whispered "Its hard to believe somebody has died… someone here's friend or mother or brother or daughter had just passed away and I see not a single tear in this crowd of people."
All of a sudden I was grabbed by a group of women, before being able to ask what was going on I was dragged in to a hut near by, the women stripped off all my clothes and dressed me in vibrant African cloth- none of them spoke English, again, I had no choice but to just go with the flow- let whatever was happening, just happen. After they dressed me they pulled me in to the center of the dance floor which was a wide open dirt space filled with men and women dancing barefoot, everybody began dancing with me, expecting me to follow their traditional moves. I looked behind me and there was Chris, he had been dragged away as well and was now also dressed in a full Ghanian outfit.
When the dancing was over we were pulled in to a dark room filled with elders where they were praying for the person who died (I never learned this person's name, I am sure it was said, but it was all in a different language so I was pretty clueless as to what was going on) The chief performed a libation (a traditional way of communicating with the ancestors where you pour liquor on the ground for the spirits to drink, and then take a sip yourself.) Then, a bottle of gin was passed around and we were all expected to perform this same ritual.
After the funeral we left and went back to the compound where Johnson left. Chris and I were exhausted but both agreed the funeral was an unforgettable, life-changing experience.
The whole weekend was truly a test of my patience and willingness to accept whatever was thrown at me.
In acting class we are always told to say "Yes, And…" when thrown something unexpected on stage. This has always been a difficult concept for me to master. This weekend I learned to bring this same ideology to the table when experiencing daily life, when something is thrown at you that is strange, foreign, scary, and sometimes even uncomfortable the best approach is to always go with it to say, YES!…AND? What else!?
" I was lucky to be invited, with a few friends, to dinner at one of our visiting NYU professor's house. It was an absolutely lovely evening of great food, conversation and a game of Uno with her daughter…At one point during dinner she asked us what our favorite moment of this entire experience has been…"
Transportation to visit the Diviners in Tamale
"As one of the trips NYU Accra organizes, students helped with a construction project in a rural Ghanaian village (mixing and laying concrete for the floor of a new school) and spent the night with a host family…It's hard to believe that we were there less than 24 hours; it was such a condensed experience, one that is still unfolding and that I am still learning from."
During our Northern Ghana trip we visited a single women's weaving group in Bolgatanga. These women weave baskets to support themselves and stand up against harmful traditional practices in Ghana. They are truly inspirational and were excited to have us visit!

Give due honor and be blessed
In our society, we tend to honor those we like. If you are outside of one's the inner circle of friends, you will not be honored, though honor is due to you. It happens even in the church. Christians very often allows secular thoughts to cloud their judgment and not give true honor where it is due.

Her son, Charles Johnson, the older of her two sons, helped fill in the gaps when she, the day before her 105th birthday, was unable to remember a name, place, or incident. Her youngest son, Peter Johnson, lives in Newark, NJ where Charles lived for many years, too. Shaw was born in Bishopville, SC and moved to Tampa, FL as a young woman. Before becoming an evangelist, musician and pastor, she was an entrepreneur. Shaw was a cosmetologist and owned a beauty salon and restaurant in Tampa.

I have noticed that some of the accessories that list for CZ-75 also list for the EAA Witness. I recently purchased an EAA Witness but I don't like the basic front sight. I want a fiber optic sight but I've not had much luck. I've found a few that list for the EAA but not what I want. There is a wide veriety that list for the CZ but they don't have a compatible EAA listing. The CZ sight seems to be the same dovetailed, front slide in, with a set screw. I'd rather not spend the money unless I can be certain. If any of you have the answer I'd appreciate a reply.

Shelterbelts (or windbreaks) are single or multiple rows of trees or shrubs usually planted to protect or shelter nearby areas from wind.
Windbreaks are classified as "environmental buffers" and are planted in a variety of settings, such as on cropland, pasture, and rangeland, along roads, farmsteads, feedlots, and in urban areas
Information taken from "Agroforestry Practices" by Tim Snell. Available online here.
OFS foresters are available to help landowners plan their shelterbelt plantings. They can provide landowners with on-site recommendations, information and design.

Field Notes: Fall 2010
by Maura McDermott and Wylie Harris
It made for a great song line, but in the real Oklahoma, "when the wind comes sweepin' down the plain," folks don't always feel like singing.
That was never truer that in the Dust Bowl years, when the wind swept tons of priceless topsoil away with it at every gust - a painful loss for farmers at any time, made all the more so by the economic privations of the Great Depression.
As Franklin Roosevelt's New Dealers created program after program in efforts to revive the U.S. economy, they sought a way to help save the soil as well, and the "shelterbelt" program resulted.
According to Kurt Atkinson, Assistant Oklahoma State Forester, the federal shelterbelt program promoted conservation while also providing jobs through the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
While the lost topsoil is long gone, many Oklahoma farms still harbor living monuments to that human effort to hang on to as much of it as possible.
In the southwestern part of the state, one such farm holds special historical significance - its soil received the roots of the nation's "Number One Shelterbelt."
On March 18, 1935, County Agent W.J. "Bill" Beck planted an Austrian pine to start the very first shelterbelt in the United States, on the Horace E. Curtis farm near Willow, Oklahoma, in Greer County.
The shelterbelt program had its share of skeptics, and didn't exactly leap out of the starting gate. That same year saw only a total of 14 miles of shelterbelts planted in Oklahoma. Neighboring Kansas did little better, at 25 miles, and Texas managed just two.
Still, as the Depression and the Dust Bowl ground on, shelterbelts began to gain ground.
"The shelterbelt program was somewhat controversial when it began, but it accomplished what it was intended to do - reduce erosion to the benefit of everyone in areas where they were planted," Atkinson said. "From 1935 to 1942, the program saw about 20 million trees planted on 5,000 Oklahoma farms. That meant about 3,000 miles of shelterbelts planted in Oklahoma."
In Oklahoma, the original project counties were Beckham, Custer, Dewey, Ellis, Greer, Harmon, Harper, Jackson, Major, Roger Mills, Washita, Woods, and Woodward, but by 1939 the project added Beaver, Blaine, Caddo, Canadian, Comanche, Garfield, Kay, Kingfisher, and Noble.
"Our state forestry leadership was very progressive for the period and pursued this important conservation program aggressively," Atkinson said.
"Today we continue to see many producers and other landowners planting windbreaks, thanks to our Forest Regeneration Center in Goldsby and the efforts of state and federal conservation agencies."
In the Right Direction
Between 1982 and 2007, average soil erosion rates dropped from 7.3 to 4.8 tons per acre per year nationwide. In the Southern Plains region (Oklahoma and Texas), the fall was from 12.2 to 8.8 tons per acre per year, preserving the region's title as the highest-erosion area of the nation.
Seventy per cent of soil lost in the Southern Plains region is due to wind erosion, and that is where the improvements have been made – from 9.9 down to 6.2 tons per acre between 1982 and 2007. Water erosion in the region has remained almost constant, at 2.6 tons per acre, throughout the same period.
Despite the nationwide decline in soil erosion rates, 28% of all cropland is still eroding at rates higher than the soil loss tolerance rate (T) – in effect, losing soil faster than it can be replaced by the weathering of underlying rock. (The figure was 40% in 1982.)
As the Land Stewardship Project's Brian Devore points out, the 2007 data were gathered too early to reflect any effect on erosion rates that may have been caused by commodity grain price spikes in 2008, and increasing withdrawals of acreage from the Conservation Reserve Program.
These figures on soil erosion come from the USDA-NRCS National Resources Inventory (NRI), a statistical survey of land use and natural resource conditions and trends on U.S. non-Federal lands.
Planting Anew
Oklahoma Forestry Services (OFS), a division of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, sells over 30 varieties of trees and shrubs chosen for their ability to meet the challenges of Oklahoma's tough climate. These include many of the same species planted in the heyday of the shelterbelt program.
Species of improved Southern pines, evergreens, hardwoods, and shrubs are available.
Years of selecting from the best seed sources available for each species and careful growing practices have resulted in seedlings adaptable to a wide range of planting conditions.
Seedlings are distributed as bare-root, one or two years old and 6 to 16 inches in height. A limited number of species are also available as containerized seedlings. OFS grows the seedlings at the Forest Tree Improvement Center (FTIC) in Idabel, and the Albert Engstrom Forest Regeneration Center (FRC) in Goldsby.
The ordering period for seedlings normally begins in September, and seedlings are shipped January through March of each year.
(Bare-root seedlings are generally available from January through April and containerized seedlings are generally available in early March.)
All orders are on a first-come, first-served basis. Seedlings are typically sold in single species bundles of 50. The minimum order is 100 bare-root or 50 containerized seedlings.
In 2009-10, prices ranged from 4 to 65 cents per bare-root seedling, depending on quantity and whether seedlings were shipped or picked up. Containerized seedlings cost 90 cents each, with shipping charges ranging from $8 to $20 depending on quantity.
