Why Pollinators Need Our Help:
The Pollinator Crisis:
- Bee populations have declined by 30-50% in recent decades
- Monarch butterflies have decreased by 90% since the 1990s
- Habitat loss is the #1 threat to pollinator survival
- Pesticide use and climate change compound the problem
- One-third of our food supply depends on pollinators
Your Garden Makes a Difference:
- Provides vital nectar and pollen when wild spaces disappear
- Creates safe nesting and overwintering habitat
- Supports entire ecosystems (pollinators feed birds and other wildlife)
- Helps reverse dangerous population declines
- Connects fragmented habitats through "pollinator corridors"
Growing Your Wildflower Meadow:
Best Planting Methods:
- Direct sow outdoors in early spring after last frost or in fall
- Prepare soil by removing weeds and loosening top 2-3 inches
- Mix tiny seeds with sand for easier, more even distribution
- Broadcast seeds over prepared area
- Lightly rake to ensure seed-to-soil contact
- Keep moist until germination (usually 7-21 days)
- Thin if overcrowded once seedlings are 2-3 inches tall
Growing Tips:
- Most varieties prefer full sun (6+ hours daily)
- Well-drained soil, tolerates poor to average fertility
- Water regularly until established (4-6 weeks)
- Drought-tolerant once established
- No fertilizer needed (encourages lush leaves over flowers)
- USDA hardiness zones 1-12 (varies by individual species)
First Year Expectations:
- Annuals will bloom first season (6-8 weeks from sowing)
- Perennials focus on root development, may not bloom until year 2
- Don't be discouraged! Perennials are building strength for spectacular future shows
- Keep area watered and weed-free first season
- Height varies by variety (typically 12-36 inches)
Maintenance for Years of Beauty:
- Cut back once annually in late winter/early spring
- Leave seed heads for birds through winter
- Allow some plants to self-seed for continuous blooms
- Deadhead annuals to extend blooming period
- No fertilizing needed
- Water only during severe drought
Coverage:
- One packet typically covers 25-100 square feet (varies by seed count)
- For larger areas, calculate: 1 oz per 150-200 square feet
- Better to overseed than underseed for full, lush meadow
- Mix well with sand or sawdust for even distribution
Perfect Planting Locations:
- Sunny slopes and hillsides (helps prevent erosion)
- Edges of property or along fences
- Around mailboxes or lamp posts
- Replacing unused lawn areas
- Between vegetable garden rows
- School gardens and public spaces
- Alongside driveways and walkways
Wildlife Benefits Beyond Pollinators:
- Seed heads feed songbirds through winter

Shocking
Format: Paperback
An informative read that will make you sick as the hanging death of people becomes a spectator sport. I knew going in I was going to be really angry about this and I was so right. It has been more than a month since I finished it and the horrific cruelty and lawlesness still makes my blood boil.And many times the "supposed law" were guilty of opening the jail or were complicit in letting this happen. It will make you think.

A valuable book for non-lawyers and lawyers
Why would non-lawyers want to read a book on persuading judges? For several reasons actually. First, many of us are involved in work that requires persuading others to adopt our views. While legal argument is substantially more formal and rule-driven than what most of us do, learning how to construct a logical argument as if it were to be delivered to the court, that Is governed by deadlines, restrictions on length, the need to adhere to established fact (or to establish those facts) and to be neither groveling nor inflammatory can be applied to selling your widgets.
Perhaps more important is the fact that most people don't understand the impact of the court's decisions on our daily lives, our pocketbooks and our freedoms.
Nine people sit on the Supreme Court. They cannot be removed except for the most grievous crimes and then only if Congress were to agree. More than one Justice has demonstrated that you can be senile and sit on the nation's highest court. Going down the food chain, the same applies to the federal appellate and trial courts. It is unlikely that one person in a hundred can even name a local federal district court judge and probably not one in a thousand could name the nine Supreme Court justices.
Yet these men and women have tremendous impact on our lives, as do the thousands of state court justices.
I am not a lawyer, but I consult to them and am not a stranger to the courtroom, writing drafts for legal briefs, doing legal research and the like. I have seen a lot of judges in action and have learned, in general, to fear them. They can - and do - cause tremendous harm through ill-considered decisions, making decisions with insufficient facts, assuming they know more than they do and myriad other reasons. They are gods in their courtrooms and if your lawyer fails to persuade them of the justness of your cause, you lose.
Just how do these people reach their decisions?
While justice is supposed to be blind (fat chance!), the justices are human and thus persuadable.
Bryan Garner is a noted writer on legal writing. He is actually quite witty as he explains the use of the English language to lawyers who have had their understanding of words driven out of them in law school.
Antonin Scalia is a hero to many for the courageousness of his decisions and dissents, his belief that the Constitution is to be strictly interpreted and his generally brilliant writing style.
In 115, frequently witty, short chapters the two authors (who occasionally openly disagree) lay down their thoughts on how judges can be persuaded.
It is not all about legal writing; e.g, advice to not chew your fingernails and dressing appropriately for court. They advise on giving your oral argument, which a lot of sales and marketing people would do well to read, especially the guidance to "never speak over a judge". In a sales situation, I am surprised at how often the sales person displays his or her contempt for me by not only not listening to me, but presuming they understand the point I was going to make before they spoke over me. I don't know about you, but a lot of salespeople have lost business with me for doing that.
Some of the points the authors make are points of contention themselves: i.e., "swear off substantive footnotes - or not".
None of the material in this book is truly new. Law students get elements of it in their first year as do some college students. A lot can be found in books on to be a better salesperson: i.e., don't chew your fingernails, etc. And a lot of it is plain commonsense.
But that doesn't mean this book is unhelpful. First, it reveals in tiny part how Scalia evaluates the briefs he reads and arguments he hears, which in itself is a fascinating peek. The authors also put things many people may have forgotten through lack of use into perspective. Finally, they remind lawyers and non-lawyers alike that you often have only one shot at winning your argument so you had best put your best foot forward.
Scalia and Garner show you how to do it. Overall, this is a fun, informative and helpful read.
Jerry

Like Having an Expert Looking over Your Shoulder
I am a law professor who spent 25 years as a Plaintiff's lawyer before deciding to teach. I've been before the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal many times and state appellate courts a few times. One caveat to consider: I expect to be arguing before the United States Supreme Court in the future. I hesitate to be too ebullient, lest you think that I'm trying to curry favor. However, I think that this book is great.
Why do I recommend it? First, it is short. This book will accomplish much of what other books try to teach about advocacy, but in many fewer pages.
Secondly, it is practical. It teaches writing skills, speaking skills, and how to be persuasive with limited time.
Finally, it is not just for lawyers. Anyone trying to be persuasive can apply the same skills to other situations.
For those of you who are politically opposed to Justice Scalia (which, believe it or not, includes some law professors)this is a joint effort by Garner and Scalia, and they frequently disagree. Hearing both sides of the argument on how to write or speak persuasively will help you decide how you want to present your arguments.
How do my political opinions and Justice Scalia's opinions mesh? Can I be fair? I think so. He's a Federalist, I consider myself an Anti-Federalist. He as supporter of administrative delegation, I think delegation of congressional responsibilities to administrative agencies is congressional abdication. In short, I'm not recommending this book because Justice Scalia and I agree on policy, because on many policy matters we don't. I'm recommending it because I think it will help you.
You wont be disappointed with the book.
