    Japanese Maple

    Good Morning, I have the green version of this same tree in my yard. While not a professional landscaper, I have developed what seems like a satisfying and productive way to keep its shape. In mid-winter, I run my hands down through the branches, starting at the top center. That method seems...

    Metal Detector for Logs

    Hello, My TB site searches for metal-detector opinions brought up only a couple of hits. So, I'm wondering perhaps if anyone has any recent (or ongoing) experiences in using a metal detector to inspect questionable logs before cutting. Have you discovered a reliable brand that's worth the...

    Repurposing Wood after Beech Leaf Disease

    Because I have a property full of American Beech trees (most appearing to slowly succumb to Beech Leaf Disease), I'm looking ahead to milling the trees into lumber (I picked up a used band saw for the process). My concerns are: - Will the lumber contain/spread the nematodes, or are they just on...

    Beech Leaf Disease

    Thanks, Greg, My trees are just starting to open up--and so far everything looks normal (except that very few of them held their old leaves over the winter, as they usually do). I'll report back in a few weeks on how things are going in SE Massachusetts. John

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    Well, it's happened again: I'm bailing out of this childish conversation for about the third time in as many years. That means that the haters have won, 3 to 0. Congratulations, your petrified brains remain intact! But I am confident that I've done my best to break through the wall of ignorance...

    Try Again. "Neo-Nazism comprises the post–World War II militant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and racial supremacy (often white supremacy), attack racial and ethnic minorities (often...

    Yes, you're absolutely right: If folks disagree with my underlying premise--that having a closed mind is harmful, that ignoring reams of documented facts is myopic, and that doing what is right for the Country (education, health care, clean water, social-support systems) should be the ultimate...

    The real question is how much evidence would YOU need to convict him, if not for this then for all of his other crimes. It seems to me that he really could shoot someone in Times Square and you'd all be OK with it.

    And I would add the crime of election interference as he did all this to hide his behavior immediately before an election. Anybody remember Gary Hart?

    The true measures of intelligence, maturity, and patriotism are the abilities to admit to yourself that you are mistaken, and to adjust your thinking to the evidence at hand--all of which states that trump is not worthy of your rabid defenses of him, or of ever holding public office again (he...

    Climbers for Christ

    You make a valid point: It's absolutely just and worthwhile for believers to share and enjoy this Climbers for Christ forum, and the rest of us should respect your reasons and rights to do so. I think it becomes difficult for some of us (and thus becomes much harder for us to ignore) when we...

    Climbers for Christ

    Why do believers subject themselves to this unending belittlement and subservience? Meanwhile, the Christian Nationalists can't wait to bloody the rest of us in the name of their god. For me, those contradictions are an unhealthy mish-mash of self-deprecation, self-aggrandizement, pompous...

    ISA Climber's Edge newsletter

    "He spent hours reviewing how different equipment is supposed to be used, how it's not supposed to be used, what equipment it's compatible with and what are the appropriate ropes for the equipment." I'm glad someone is able to make sense of all those little pictographs that come with climbing...

    Fatal Towing Accident

    I hear you but many people lack the insight, wisdom, and experience to foresee the dangerous mechanics in such situations--especially if they grew up in a city apartment rather than in the suburbs or on a farm. At 16 years old, I recall towing our broken-down cars across the city with little...

    Left-handed saw?

    Hi, I once found treatment for my tennis elbow quite by accident. I was sitting in a dining-room chair, and smacked the back of my elbow into the end of the chair's arm (right in that soft, muscular area where everything attaches to the elbow). Damn, that hurt, so I started rubbing that area...
