A so-called friendly match turned ugly Thursday in Italy.
On its winter break (which ends with a Serie A match Sunday against Siena) Milan traveled to Busto Arsizio in Lombardy for what was supposed to be an exhibition of soccer against Pro Patria, a lower-division club.
Instead the match was abandoned with few than 30 minutes played to protest the racist chanting by home fans of a club whose name translates to "For the Fatherland."
After announcements over the stadium's public-address system failed to quell the chants coming from the stands, Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng, dribbling on the far touchline, picked up the ball and kicked it into the stands in what the club described as a hail of racist epithets. He ripped off his jersey and began to walk off the field, followed by his teammates. Video is here:
On its Web site, Milan said: "Milan left the pitch following racist insults on the part of a minority of the Pro Patria fans directed at (Kevin-Prince) Boateng, M'Baye Niang, (Urby) Emanuelson and (Sulley) Muntari."
Massimo Ambrosini, the club's captain added:
"It is disappointing for everybody who was at the stadium, but it was necessary to give a strong signal. Milan will attempt to return to Busto Arsizio, especially for the children and those who had nothing to do with racism. However, it was important to send out a clear signal."
Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri said:
"These racist episodes have to end. Walking off was the correct decision to make after the racist chants. We are sorry these events have happened, more so for the other supporters – the families and children who had come here to spend a pleasant afternoon. We have promised Pro Patria that we will come back for these people here. We are also sorry for the Pro Patria players and the club but we had to give a strong signal against these episodes. I hope it helps set an example from the top leagues down. We had no other option but to walk off, which I hope will have repercussions. I sincerely hope these uncivilized acts do not occur again."
The incident comes after a cascade of similar incidents across the European continent in recent years.
Umberto Gandini, the club's director said on Twitter "no racism, no stupidty!":
Very proud of the Milan players who decided to walk off the pitch today for racist abuse from few idiots! No racism, no stupidity!
Was this an isolated incident perpetrated by a small slice of one team's fans, or another example of embedded racism that has haunted European soccer recently? Do sanctions, suspensions, etc., have any effect? Is there a solution?

I was was a Brooks Brother customer for decades and that firm trained me to be fairly casual when ordering clothes. They had their own way of doing things and one need only choose a cloth, specify single or double breasted and wait until the garment was complete.
That casualness ended on Savile Row. My first tailor there was another of those institutions that had own their way of doing things, accompanied by an unfortunate tendency to make single breasted suits when they had been asked for double. And the reverse. Needless to say, their casual approach brought my casual approach to a quick end.
And though considerable time has passed the need for specificity is still with us. Take covert coats, for example. Coverts have been around for a century or more and most men would assume that that their design is standardized. Just specify the collar and be done with it would seem reasonable, but that is so untrue. For example, the rows of stitching along the hem and sleeve ends that were designed to keep the coat from fraying when riding through brush. Order a covert expecting authenticity and one is likely to find that the stitching has become purely decorative, and invisible from a few feet away.
Coverts are also known for their interior game pocket, a space inside the left side lining that is perfect for storing a scarf (who among us has not lost scarves that were stuffed into a sleeve at a coat check?). But leave the pocket unsaid and it is likely to be left unmade. There may be more, but two complaints should suffice.
Now one cannot blame one's tailor for a failure to read the customer's mind. And the cost of imperfect communication is only the couple of months that it takes to return a garment to the shop for changes. But that delay does mean that an item is likely to be delivered at the end of its intended season, relegating it to storage for half a year before it can be enjoyed.
And that is a very good reason to always be specific.

Always Be Specific

Sound advice, of course. One wonders somewhat why you strive so much for authenticity with your particular example of a covert coat if said article of clothing is not going to find itself atop a hunter at covert side, subsequently to be dragged through a hedge in vain pursuit of a fox. Forgive me if indeed you are wont to do such things, and I do agree with your general point, but I wonder what authenticity is left when form is bereft of function (I refer to the stitching, not the scarf). My musings on doings at covert (which surely people do not know how to pronounce anymore) might interest your readers, and I thusly direct them to the first part: beingmanly: hunting attitude. The second in the series can be found easily enough thereafter.

While this is true Will, the fact is that many people particularly those getting bespoke or MTM clothing for the first time are not as aware of all the nuances as you are. I'm certainly not and I've been having stuff made for years. I've found you have to get your tailor to talk about style and pocket options in a questioning way. Most of them are happy to talk about it even if sometimes they have a house spin.

I had a beautiful covert coat with tonal collar made by Alan Flusser. The pocket is there, and I love it, we decided to leave the stitching off.

"I had a beautiful covert coat with tonal collar made by Alan Flusser."
.....Would that be by any chance the one with the brown velvet collar they had pictured on their website for years which looked great......I used the pic as a ref when I had one made over there (but with stitching) - March 15, 2010 at 9:37:00 AM PDT

I don't know, but I suppose adhering to such reasoning about form and function might end up with one not seeking a good pair of brogue shoes because they do not have functional brogueing to drain off water and such after a slog through a bog.

"Order a covert expecting authenticity and one is likely to find that the stitching has become purely decorative, and invisible from a few feet away."
Why would you expect anything else? Esp. if the stitching is to prevent fraying, you would not want it to be visible (in a contrasting seam colour, say).
I bought a beautiful covert from Charles Tyrwhitt recently, and was pleased to find the stitching was all there - but no specific game pocket alas (unless the smaller inside pocket on the left counts). - March 16, 2010 at 6:00:00 AM PDT

A three-alarm fire erupted at the South Street Seaport on Pier 17 in Manhattan, New York City. Multiple marine companies as well as land units teamed up to battle this blaze.
Marc Santora, New York Times
The three-alarm fire began shortly before 4 p.m. and was concentrated around the pier, according to the police and fire officials. It seemed to be under control by 5 p.m. and there were no immediate reports of injuries, the officials said.
James Long, a Fire Department spokesman, said in a telephone call with reporters that 33 units and 140 firefighters responded to a call at 3:52 p.m. reporting a fire at Pier 17. It took about two hours to bring the fire fully under control, he said.
The department used water hoses stretched from trucks, and department vessels streaming water from the East River to fight the flames.

WINNIPEG -- A breakaway goal may have put him in the highlight reels, but Evander Kane was happy with his tap-in overtime winner on Sunday.
Kane's goal handed the Jets a 5-4 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday as Winnipeg won its third straight game.
Kane's goal at 1:59 of overtime came off a rebound from a long Olli Jokinen shot and sealed a win that seem out of reach when the Jets were down 4-2 midway through the third period.
"I knew Olli had (the puck) and there was nobody in my way and I was actually looking for the breakaway, but Olli kept it," said Kane, who also had an assist. "I knew he would shoot it when I saw the big windup.
"He has a really hard shot."
Goals 65 seconds apart by Dustin Byfuglien and Alexander Burmistrov set up the extra period for Winnipeg (3-1-1). Alexei Ponikarovsky and Bryan Little also scored.
Kane thought Jokinen would bury the shot behind Islanders (2-2-1) goalie Evgeni Nabokov, but the puck rolled along the goal line and he poked it over.
The goal was reviewed, but Kane had no doubt it counted.
"It was just like watching a football game. It just has to break the plane," he said.
Byfuglien's goal on the power play at 12:59 of the third period marked the first time this season the Islanders had let in a power-play goal in 17 short-handed situations.
John Tavares had a goal and two assists for the Islanders. David Ullstrom, Matt Moulson and Mark Streit also scored and Frans Nielsen had a pair of assists.
Jets backup goalie Al Montoya got his first start of the season against his former Islanders teammates and stopped 21 shots. He signed as a free agent with Winnipeg last July.
He played two seasons with the Islanders, but got into only 31 games last season because of a concussion suffered after a December hit by now-teammate Kane.
Nabokov faced 35 shots.
"No, it wasn't a Picasso, that's for sure," Jets head coach Claude Noel said of his team's play. "But, you know, you're going to have those nights and I think what you have to do is you kind of have to try to get a grip on things.
"It wasn't ideally what we would have liked, but I did like that we had some time left in the game and we didn't sit and dwell on the negative and sit and beat ourselves up."
The game was tied 1-1 after the first period and 2-1 for Winnipeg after two before New York scored three straight goals.
Islanders head coach Jack Capuano knew the Jets weren't out of it after Winnipeg went down 2-0 in the first period against Pittsburgh last Friday and pulled out a 4-2 win.
"After watching the Pittsburgh game, we knew they were going to come," Capuano said. "They got good speed, they got really good transition with their (defence), and they beat us up the ice in the first period.
"We could have been down a lot more than a goal. "
A turnover by the Jets led to New York's first goal, a wrist shot Ullstrom put past Montoya at 2:34 of the opening period. Ullstrom is on a four-game points streak with two goals and a pair of assists.
"He played well tonight," Ullstrom said of Montoya. "He's a good goalie and good guy."
Winnipeg was 1 for 4 on the power play through regulation and the Islanders were 1 for 2.

- "Bevin" name changed to "Hood" as provided by dragossh (the name was kept short to fit all text fields). But as D'Lanor pointed out only new neighborhoods will get the name "Hood".
I don't know what to say. After trying to press this issue for over four (?!) years now, one of the most notable pieces of restoration era history has been reclaimed. Bevin... the first D'ni neighborhood to be restored by the DRC, the first accessible area in Uru... is finally a name that has meaning again.
It's a little difficult to definitively call this a victory. The Nexus is still full of hundreds of 'bevins,' and this late in the game it seems unlikely that people are going to be producing very many 'neighborhoods' to replace them. But at the same time, the fact that the problem has been ACKNOWLEDGED and ACTED UPON is HUGE.
I'm simply overwhelmed. I feel like an impossible hope has finally been realized. In the context of someone who never knew Uru outside of MOUL, this may not seem like a big deal. But for someone like me who religiously followed the old DRC site, taking in every detail of information like it was a morsel of the finest steak, every single day WISHING that I could be in this mysterious "Bevin" neighborhood that they were talking about? This is incredible.
Thank you, everyone.
Not just the people who fixed the code, and not just Cyan who finally found the time to push the fix out, but to everyone. Every explorer who rallied behind this cause and stood with me on the Great Stair, every ResEng who put the corrected information into their orientations, every historian who made the effort to dig up even more details about the original Bevin, Seret, and other neighborhoods. Even every single person who simple threw up their hands and said "Language evolves!" or "Who cares, it's just a name!" - You guys kept me riled up and ready to fight, even pulling me back in when I had pretty much accepted defeat and was ready to walk away.
And now... I feel like I'm done.
I spent years hoping to see the Great Zero lit... and even longer dreaming of a day when the lake would begin to show signs of life. After both of these things came to be, I felt like the last 'restoration project' that I could really hope to be a part of would be the education of people regarding the true meaning of 'Bevin'... and now, that too has been restored. Most of the people I spent my time in D'ni with have moved on to other things, and a new guard has taken their place, working to make the cavern into a home. I've been quiet for a long while myself, but I've still been here... watching and waiting for things to change. But I think it's my time to drift away as well. Maybe someday I'll feel 'the call' again, but for now... it's time to focus elsewhere.
However... to all of you open source people... if someone screws up history again, I hope you're prepared for me to be breathing down your neck for years.
People of Earth. I must go now. My planet needs me.

Kia updates the Soul and the Rio for 2012
Just two years after its launch, Kia is updating the Soul for 2012 with performance and technology improvements. The Rio gets a makeover, too.
A new 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injection engine powers the 2012 Kia Soul and produces 135 hp, up 11 percent from the 2011 model. A new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine is available too, making 160 hp, and it's paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The Soul delivers up to 34 mpg on the highway.
"With gas prices on the rise, this mid-cycle refresh adds even more style and fun-to-drive performance to the vehicle that started our design-led transformation while also improving fuel economy by 10 percent," said Michael Sprague, vice president of marketing and communications for Kia Motors America.
On the outside, the Soul comes in two new colors and now has bulged LED daytime running lights, a redesigned hood and front and rear bumpers and a streamlined silhouette. Technology is upgraded inside with a Microsoft-powered hands-free communication and infotainment system, and audiophiles will be pleased with the option of an Infinity audio system.
The 2012 Rio, with its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 138 hp, maintains its 40 mpg highway fuel rating. It makes further fuel savings with technology that turns off the engine when the car is not in motion and restarts automatically when the driver releases the brake. An all-new platform brings a longer, wider and lower stance, and on the inside, hood and dash insulators have been added for 2012 to reduce noise vibration.
"This triple threat lineup is designed for young customers looking to turn up the dial," Sprague said of the new Soul, Rio and Rio 5.
"World-class design is not just limited to the top of our lineup," said Tom Loveless, Kia's vice president of sales.
Kia also said Thursday that the 2012 Optima will join the Sorrento as Kia vehicles built in West Point, Ga.

The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flow charts and diagrams. Cloud Computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet.
Services? What Services?
The services are broadly devided into three catagories:
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS):
Infrastructure as a Service involves Infrastructures, like PC, Laptop, Mobile, Notebook, Mini Note etc..
This involves Plateforms like Remote Server or Database or Remote Desktop.
SaaS is most important service. It is an application hosted on a remote server and accessed through the Internet. A simple and concrete example of SaaS are the free email systems offered on the internet such as Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo Mail etc. Each program meets the basic criteria of an SaaS application:
•vendor hosts (Microsoft, Google, Yahoo) all of the programs, logic and data in a central location and provides end users access to this data and the software which is run and used over the world-wide-web (WWW).
Profits of Cloud Computing
A cloud service has three distinct characterstics that differentiate it from the traditional hosting.
• It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour.
• It is elastic – a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time.
• The Service is fully managed by the provides and the consumer offer nothing but a personal computer or a mobile and Internet access.

Eagles' Andrews challenges Panthers' Peppers to a little 'beasting'
PHILADELPHIA — Slimmer and more rested, his attitude and his back adjusted, his sense of humor familiar and his opportunity fresh, Shawn Andrews is ready to be a football player again.
Unavailable to the Eagles since the second game of last season, and more of a rumor than an asset throughout training camp and the preseason, the slimmer, 330-pound right tackle with the Pro Bowl pedigree worked up two things at an abbreviated practice Monday in the NovaCare Complex.
A wicked sweat.
And a challenge.
Though he hasn't played tackle since he was at the University of Arkansas and while he is about to go facemask-to-facemask with dangerous Panther Julius Peppers Sunday in Charlotte, the Birds' former All-Pro guard clearly announced his re-arrival.
"He's a beast," Andrews said. "But so am I. So let the beasting begin."
The Eagles won't have to be asked twice.
Developing as one of the more powerful guards in Eagles history, Andrews missed training camp last season with personal issues, then injured his back early in the season, requiring a surgery that grew complicated.
"Well," he said, "football is football. I'm athletic. And the big thing is just being fundamentally, technically sound and the rest of it will take care of itself."
Whether or not it proves that simple will be high among the most anticipated Week 1 revelations about the Birds, who spent the offseason refitting their offensive line to make Andrews comfortable. After signing his brother, Stacey Andrews, as a free agent, they traded for his former high school teammate, left tackle Jason Peters. Continued...
Peters and Shawn Andrews, then, will be manning the positions long held by the departed Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan, meaning that either that configuration —- or Donovan McNabb's physical therapists — must be ready, and ready soon.
The Birds' practice closed Monday to the press, it was left to the eyewitnesses to gauge Andrews' readiness.
"He'll be in there (Sunday)," center Jamaal Jackson said. "He practiced last week and got a chance to get out and move around a little bit and get hit a little bit. I think that's good for him, as far as his back and everything.
"He looks good. I mean, he is a lot more vocal this year, just because he has a lot more responsibility playing tackle. I just hope everything works out for him."
For his part, Andrews seemed underwhelmed by that new task.
"Now, I get to start the line, so it gives me a little more responsibility," he said. "I'm kind of grown up on this thing now. I get to make a call. Woo for me."
If Andrews makes the proper calls, no one will woo ... or make a similarly sounding noise. But should the Birds' new line buckle, he knows where the blame will land.
"You know what, man?" he said. "You are always under the microscope. Of course, if there is a mistake, it will be, 'Oh, he should have been in training camp.' It is what it is. But I know what I have to do. And I am putting in the extra time with coach Juan Castillo, our offensive line coach, and taking extra pass sets to get in tip-top game shape. So if there is a mistake, it's not because, 'He wasn't there in the preseason.'"
Andrews claims to be pain-free, and his weight is where he wants it to be for his tackle chore, which is between 330 and 335 pounds.
"I'm going to see what I can do, man," Andrews said. "I've got to get this tackle thing back first, then all the fun stuff will come."

National park
A national park is a park, in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of wild nature for posterity and as a symbol of national pride.[1] Furthermore, an international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas. While ideas for this type of national park had been suggested previously, the United States established the first such one, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. The largest national park in the world meeting the IUCN definition is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974. According to the IUCN, there were 6,555 national parks worldwide in 2006 that meet its criteria.[2]
Contents |
In 1969 the IUCN declared a national park to be a relatively large area the following defining characteristics:[4]
- One or several ecosystems not materially altered by human exploitation and occupation, where plant and animal species, geomorphological sites and habitats are of special scientific, educative, and recreative interest or which contain a natural landscape of great beauty;
- Highest competent authority of the country has taken steps to prevent or eliminate exploitation or occupation as soon as possible in the whole area and to effectively enforce the respect of ecological, geomorphological, or aesthetic features which have led to its establishment; and
- Visitors are allowed to enter, under special conditions, for inspirational, educative, cultural, and recreative purposes.
In 1971 these criteria were further expanded upon leading to more clear and defined benchmarks to evaluate a national park. These include:
- Minimum size of 1,000 hectares within zones in which protection of nature takes precedence
- Statutory legal protection
- Budget and staff sufficient to provide sufficient effective protection
- Prohibition of exploitation of natural resources (including the development of dams) qualified by such activities as sport, fishing, the need for management, facilities, etc.
While national parks are generally understood to be administered by national governments (hence the name), in Australia national parks are run by state governments and predate the Federation of Australia; similarly, national parks in the Netherlands are administered by the provinces.[5] In many countries, including Indonesia, the Netherlands, and the UK, national parks do not adhere to the IUCN definition, while some areas which adhere to the IUCN definition are not designated as national parks.[5]
In 1835, the English poet William Wordsworth described the Lake District as a[6]
sort of national property, in which every man has a right and interest who has an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy.
The painter George Catlin, in his travels through the American West, wrote during the 1830s that the Native Americans in the United States might be preserved[7]
(by some great protecting policy of government) ...in a magnificent park ...A nation's Park, containing man and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature's beauty!
The first effort by any government to set aside such protected lands was in the United States, on April 20, 1832, when President Andrew Jackson signed legislation that the 22nd United States Congress had enacted to set aside four sections of land around what is now Hot Springs, Arkansas, to protect the natural, thermal springs and adjoining mountainsides for the future disposal of the U.S. government.[8][9] It was known as Hot Springs Reservation. However no legal authority was established and federal control of the area was not clearly established until 1877.[8]
The next effort by any government to set aside such protected lands was, again, in the United States, when President Abraham Lincoln signed an Act of Congress on June 30, 1864, ceding the Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias (later becoming Yosemite National Park) to the state of California:[10]
.... the said State shall accept this grant upon the express conditions that the premises shall be held for public use, resort, and recreation; shall be inalienable for all time; .... — 38th United States Congress, Session 1, 1864
In 1872, Yellowstone National Park was established as the world's first truly national park.[11] When news of the natural wonders of the Yellowstone were first promulgated, the land was part of a federally governed territory. Unlike Yosemite, there was no state government that could assume stewardship of the land, so the federal government took on direct responsibility for the park, the official first national park of the United States. It took the combined effort and interest of conservationists, politicians and especially businesses—namely, the Northern Pacific Railroad, whose route through Montana would greatly benefit by the creation of this new tourist attraction—to ensure the passage of that landmark enabling legislation by the United States Congress to create Yellowstone National Park. Theodore Roosevelt, already an active campaigner and so influential as good stump speakers were highly necessary in the pre-telecommunications era, was highly influential in convincing fellow Republicans and big business to back the bill.
American Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wallace Stegner wrote:[12]
National parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst.
Even with the creation of Yellowstone, Yosemite, and nearly 37 other national parks and monuments, another 44 years passed before an agency was created in the United States to administer these units in a comprehensive way — the U.S. National Park Service (NPS). Businessman Stephen Mather and his journalist partner Robert Sterling Yard pushed hardest for the creation of the NPS, writing then-Secretary of the Interior Franklin Knight Lane about such a need and spearheading a large publicity campaign for their movement. Lane invited Mather to come to Washington, DC to work with him to draft and see passage of the National Park Service Organic Act, which the 64th United States Congress enacted and which President Woodrow Wilson signed into law on August 25, 1916. Of the 401 sites managed by the National Park Service of the United States, only 59 carry the designation of National Park.
Following the idea established in Yellowstone there soon followed parks in other nations. In Australia, the Royal National Park was established just south of Sydney in 1879, becoming the world's second official national park. Rocky Mountain National Park became Canada's first national park in 1885. New Zealand established Tongariro National Park in 1887. In Europe the first national parks were a set of nine parks in Sweden in 1909; Europe has some 359 national parks as of 2010.[citation needed] Africa's first national park was established in 1925 when Albert I of Belgium designated an area of what is now Democratic Republic of Congo centred around the Virunga Mountains as the Albert National Park (since renamed Virunga National Park). In 1973, Mount Kilimanjaro was classified as a National Park and was opened to public access in 1977.[13] In 1926, the government of South Africa designated Kruger National Park as the nation's first national park, although it was an expansion of the earlier Sabie Game Reserve established in 1898 by President Paul Kruger of the old South African Republic, after whom the park was named. After World War II, national parks were founded all over the world. The Vanoise National Park in the Alps was the first French national park, created in 1963 after public mobilization against a touristic project.
The world's first national park service was established May 19, 1911, in Canada.[14] The Dominion Forest Reserves and Parks Act placed the dominion parks under the administration of Dominion Park Branch (now Parks Canada). The branch was established to "protect sites of natural wonder" to provide a recreational experience, centred around the idea of the natural world providing rest and spiritual renewal from the urban setting.[15] Canada now has the most protected area in the world with 377,000 km^2 of national park space.[16] In 1989, the Qomolangma National Nature Preserve (QNNP) was created to protect 3.381 million hectares on the north slope of Mount Everest in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. This national park is the first major global park to have no separate warden and protection staff—all of its management being done through existing local authorities, allowing a lower cost basis and a larger geographical coverage (in 1989 when created, it was the largest protected area in Asia). It includes four of the six highest mountains Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. The QNNP is contiguous to four Nepali national parks, creating a transborder conservation area equal in size to Switzerland.[17]

North Carolina Map And Climate Information
North Carolina Map of Regions
One of the highlights of choosing North Carolina as your best place to live is the varied climate and weather throughout the state.
North Carolina is made up of three geographic regions:
Coastal Plain
Piedmont Plateau
Each region in North Carolina definitely has it's own unique characteristics.
In each of the three NC regions, there are four distinct seasons, with precipitation spread throughout the year.
Overall, summer is the wettest season, with July as the wettest month, and autumn is the driest season, with November as the driest month.
Elevation has a great effect on temperatures and precipitation.
Yearly temperatures in North Carolina range from average highs above ninety in the summer to lows bottoming out around twenty degrees, in the winter.
Most of North Carolina experiences an average swing of twenty degrees in a day, while at locations closer to the coast, the temperature range shrinks to only about ten or fifteen degrees in a day.
The highest recorded temperature in North Carolina is 110 degrees, which was recorded in Fayetteville on August 21, 1983.
The lowest recorded temperature was -34 degrees, which was recorded on the top of Mt. Mitchell on January 21, 1985.
North Carolina's geographic location and physical make-up are key factors in creating the hospitable climate it is known for.
The great mountains in the west of North Carolina limit the severity of storms that pass from inland sources into NC, as well as keeping temperatures up.
The Gulf Stream that passes along the Outer Banks of NC serves as a weather moderator also, keeping temperatures higher during the winter. The Gulf Stream is also responsible for some of the storms that North Carolina and states to the north experience.
When the southern end of the cold Labrador Current meets the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, storms and rough weather are the result.
Cities and towns along the North Carolina coast are the most effected by the Gulf Stream.
North Carolina Climate by Regions
North Carolina Coastal Plain
The North Carolina Coastal Plain makes up almost half of North Carolina and can be broken up into two parts:
- the immediate coast and tidewater area
- interior section that connects with the Piedmont Plateau
Read More about the North Carolina Coastal Plain
North Carolina Piedmont Plateau
The Piedmont Plateau comprises about one-third of North Carolina and is bordered to the east by the state capital of Raleigh, and to the west by Forest City.
The Piedmont Plateau or region comprises the middle of North Carolina.

Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl. |
Sequoia sempervirens /sɨˈkɔɪ.ə sɛmpərˈvaɪərənz/[1] is the sole living species of the genus Sequoia in the cypress family Cupressaceae (formerly treated in Taxodiaceae). Common names include coast redwood, California redwood, and giant redwood. It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living 1200–1800 years or more.[2] This species includes the tallest trees living now on Earth, reaching up to 379 feet (115.5 m) in height (without the roots) and up to 26 feet (7.9 m) in diameter at breast height. Before commercial logging and clearing began by the 1850s, this massive tree occurred naturally in an estimated 2,100,000 acres (8,500 km2) along much of coastal California (excluding southern California where rainfall is not sufficient) and the southwestern corner of coastal Oregon within the United States. An estimated 95% or more of the original old-growth redwood forest has been cut down,[3] due to its excellent properties for use as lumber in construction.
The name sequoia sometimes refers to the subfamily Sequoioideae, which includes S. sempervirens along with Sequoiadendron (giant sequoia) and Metasequoia (dawn redwood). On its own, the term redwood usually refers to the coast redwood, which is covered in this article, and not to the other two species.

The coast redwood has a conical crown, with horizontal to slightly drooping branches. The bark is very thick, up to 30 cm (12 in), and quite soft and fibrous, with a bright red-brown color when freshly exposed (hence the name redwood), weathering darker. The root system is composed of shallow, wide-spreading lateral roots.
The leaves are variable, being 15–25 mm (0.59–0.98 in) long and flat on young trees and shaded shoots in the lower crown of old trees, and scale-like, 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) long on shoots in full sun in the upper crown of older trees, with a full range of transition between the two extremes. They are dark green above, and with two blue-white stomatal bands below. Leaf arrangement is spiral, but the larger shade leaves are twisted at the base to lie in a flat plane for maximum light capture.
The species is monoecious, with pollen and seed cones on the same plant. The seed cones are ovoid, 15–32 millimetres (0.59–1.3 in) long, with 15–25 spirally arranged scales; pollination is in late winter with maturation about 8–9 months after. Each cone scale bears three to seven seeds, each seed 3–4 millimetres (0.12–0.16 in) long and 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) broad, with two wings 1 millimetre (0.039 in) wide. The seeds are released when the cone scales dry out and open at maturity. The pollen cones are oval, 4–6 millimetres (0.16–0.24 in) long.
Its genetic makeup is unusual among conifers, being a hexaploid (6n) and possibly allopolyploid (AAAABB).[4] The mitochondrial genome of the redwood is paternally inherited (unlike that of other conifers).[5]
Range and ecology[edit]
Coast redwoods occupy a narrow strip of land approximately 750 km (470 mi) in length and 8–75 km (5–47 mi) in width along the Pacific coast of North America; the most southerly grove is in Monterey County, California, and the most northerly groves are in extreme southwestern Oregon. The elevation range is mostly from 30–750 metres (98–2,460 ft) above sea level, occasionally down to 0 and up to 920 m (about 3,000 feet).[6] They usually grow in the mountains where precipitation from the incoming moisture off the ocean is greater. The tallest and oldest trees are found in deep valleys and gullies, where year-round streams can flow, and fog drip is regular. It was also much harder to get equipment down in these gullies to log them, saving some of the larger specimens. The trees above the fog layer, above about 700 metres (2,300 ft), are shorter and smaller due to the drier, windier, and colder conditions. In addition, tanoak, pine and Douglas-fir often crowd out redwoods at these elevations. Few redwoods grow close to the ocean, due to intense salt spray, sand and wind. Coalescence of coastal fog accounts for a considerable part of the trees' water needs.[7]
The northern boundary of its range is marked by two groves on the Chetco River on the western fringe of the Klamath Mountains, 25 km (15 mi) north of the California-Oregon border. The largest (and tallest) populations are in Redwood National and State Parks (Del Norte and Humboldt Counties) and Humboldt Redwoods State Park (Humboldt County, California), with the majority located in the much larger Humboldt County. The southern boundary of its range is the Los Padres National Forest's Silver Peak Wilderness in the Santa Lucia Mountains of the Big Sur area of Monterey County, California. The southernmost grove is in the Southern Redwood Botanical Area, just north of the national forest's Salmon Creek trailhead.[8]
This native area provides a unique environment with heavy seasonal rains (2,500 millimetres (98 in) annually). Cool coastal air and fog drip keep this forest consistently damp year round. Several factors, including the heavy rainfall, create a soil with fewer nutrients than the trees need, causing them to depend heavily on the entire biotic community of the forest, and complete recycling of the trees when dead. This forest community includes coast Douglas-fir, western hemlock, tanoak, Pacific madrone, and other trees, along with a wide variety of ferns, redwood sorrel, mosses and mushrooms. Redwood forests provide habitat for a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Old-growth redwood stands provide habitat for the federally threatened spotted owl and the California-endangered marbled murrelet.
The thick, tannin-rich bark, combined with foliage starting high above the ground provides good protection from both fire and insect damage, contributing to the coast redwood's longevity. The oldest known specimen is about 2,200 years old;[9] many others in the wild exceed 600 years. The numerous claims of older trees are incorrect.[9] Because of their seemingly timeless lifespans, coast redwoods were deemed the "everlasting redwood" at the turn of the century; in Latin, "sempervirens" means "ever green" or "everlasting". Redwood must endure fire to attain such great ages, so this species has many fire-resistant characteristics. In addition, fires appear to actually benefit redwoods by causing substantial mortality in competing species while having only minor effects on redwood. One recent study, the first to compare postwildfire survival and regeneration of redwood and associated species, concluded fires of all severity increase the relative abundance of redwood and higher-severity fires provide the greatest benefit.[10]
The prehistoric fossil range of the genus is considerably greater, with a subcosmopolitan distribution including Europe and Asia until about 5 million years ago.
Coast redwood reproduces both sexually by seed and asexually by sprouting of buds, layering, or lignotubers. Seed production begins at 10–15 years of age, and large seed crops occur frequently, but viability of the seed is low, typically well below 15%.[11] The low viability may discourage seed predators, which do not want to waste time sorting chaff (empty seeds) from edible seeds. The winged seeds are small and light, weighing 3.3–5.0 mg (200-300 seeds/g; 5,600-8,500/ounce). The wings are not effective for wide dispersal, and seeds are dispersed by wind an average of only 60–120 m (200–400 ft) from the parent tree. Growth of seedlings is very fast, with young trees known to reach 20 m (65 ft) tall in 20 years.
Coast redwoods can also reproduce asexually by layering or sprouting from the root crown, stump, or even fallen branches; if a tree falls over, it will regenerate a row of new trees along the trunk, so many trees naturally grow in a straight line. Sprouts originate from dormant or adventitious buds at or under the surface of the bark. The dormant sprouts are stimulated when the main adult stem gets damaged or starts to die. Many sprouts spontaneously erupt and develop around the circumference of the tree trunk. Within a short period after sprouting, each sprout will develop its own root system, with the dominant sprouts forming a ring of trees around the parent root crown or stump. This ring of trees is called a "fairy ring". Sprouts can achieve heights of 2.3 m (8 ft) in a single growing season.
Redwoods may also reproduce using burls. A burl is a woody lignotuber that commonly appears on a redwood tree below the soil line, though usually within 3 metres (9.8 ft) in depth from the soil surface. Burls are capable of sprouting into new trees when detached from the parent tree, though exactly how this happens is yet to be studied. Shoot clones commonly sprout from burls and are often turned into decorative hedges when found in suburbia.
The species is very tolerant of flooding and flood deposits, the roots rapidly growing into thick silt deposits after floods.
Cultivation and uses[edit]
Coast redwood is one of the most valuable timber species in the lumbering industry. In California, 899,000 acres (3,640 km2) of redwood forest are in production, virtually all of it second growth.[12] Though many entities have existed in the production and management of redwoods, perhaps none have had a more storied role than the Pacific Lumber Company (1863-2008) of Humboldt County, California, where it owned and managed over 200,000 acres (810 km2) of forests, primarily redwood. Coast redwood lumber is highly valued for its beauty, light weight, and resistance to decay. Its lack of resin makes it resistant to fire.
P. H. Shaughnessy, Chief Engineer of the San Francisco Fire Department wrote:
- "In the recent great fire of San Francisco, that began April 18th, 1906, we succeeded in finally stopping it in nearly all directions where the unburned buildings were almost entirely of frame construction and if the exterior finish of these buildings had not been of redwood lumber, I am satisfied that the area of the burned district would have been greatly extended."
Because of its impressive resistance to decay, redwood was extensively used for railroad ties and trestles throughout California. Many of the old ties have been recycled for use in gardens as borders, steps, house beams, etc. Redwood burls are used in the production of table tops, veneers, and turned goods.
The coast redwood is locally naturalized in New Zealand, notably at Whakarewarewa Forest, Rotorua.[13] Redwood has been grown in New Zealand plantations for over 100 years, and those planted in New Zealand have higher growth rates than those in California, mainly due to even rainfall distribution through the year.[14] Other areas of successful cultivation outside of the native range include Great Britain, Italy, Portugal,[15] the Queen Charlotte Islands, middle elevations of Hawaii, Hogsback in South Africa, a small area in central Mexico (Jilotepec) and the southeastern United States from East Texas to Maryland. Coast redwood trees were used in a display at Rockefeller Center and then given to Longhouse Reserve in East Hampton, Long Island, New York and these have now been living there for over 17 years (2010) and survived 2°F (-17°C).[16]
This fast-growing tree can be grown as an ornamental specimen in those large parks and gardens which can accommodate its massive size. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[17]
Trees over 200 feet (61 m) are common, and many are over 300 feet (91 m). The current tallest tree is Hyperion, measuring at 379.3 feet (115.6 m).[9] The tree was discovered in Redwood National Park during the summer of 2006 by Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor, and has been measured as the world's tallest living organism. The previous record holder was the Stratosphere Giant in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, at 370.18 feet (112.83 m), last measured in 2004 (was 368.57 feet (112.34 m) in Aug 2000 and 369.29 feet (112.56 m) in 2002). Until it fell in March 1991, the "Dyerville Giant" was the record holder. It, too, stood in Humboldt Redwoods State Park; it was 372.05 ft (113.40 m) high and estimated to be 1,600 years old.
Forty-one measured living trees are more than 360 ft (110 m) tall,[18] and 178 are more than 350 ft (107 m) tall.[18] Preliminary LiDAR data indicate hundreds of additional trees are in excess of 347.8 ft (106.0 m), which were previously unknown.[19]
A tree claimed to be 380.12 ft (115.86 m) was cut down in 1914.[20] A tree claimed to be 424.08 ft (129.26 m) was felled in November 1886 by the Elk River Mill and Lumber Co. at the south fork of Elk River in Humboldt County, yielding 79,736 marketable board feet from 21 cuts.[21][22][23]
Although coast redwoods are currently the world's tallest trees, the Australian mountain ash and Douglas-fir trees possibly were taller—exceeding 400 feet (120 m)—before the commercial logging of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, fairly solid evidence indicates coast redwoods were the world's largest trees before logging, with specimens measured at over 55,000 cu ft (1,600 m3).[24]
The theoretical maximum potential height of coast redwoods is limited to between 122 and 130 m (400 and 427 ft), due to gravity and the friction between water and the conduits through which it flows.[25]
The largest coast redwood is the "Lost Monarch", with an estimated volume of 42,500 cubic feet (1,203 m3); it is 320 ft (98 m) tall, with a diameter of 26 ft (7.9 m) at breast high. It is located in the Grove of Titans. Among current living trees, only six known giant sequoias are larger; these are shorter, but have thicker trunks overall, giving the largest giant sequoia, General Sherman, a volume of 1,487 m3 (52,513 cu ft), making it the world's largest known tree. A redwood cut down in 1926 had a claimed volume of 1,794 m3 (63,355 cu ft), but this was not verified.
About 50 albino redwoods (mutant individuals that cannot manufacture chlorophyll) are known to exist, reaching heights of up to 20 m (66 ft).[26] These trees survive as parasites, obtaining food by grafting their root systems with those of normal trees, an ability unique to redwoods. While similar mutations occur sporadically in other conifers, no cases are known of such individuals surviving to maturity in any other conifer species.

10 | Bull Creek Giant | HRSP | 882 | 31,144 | 102.7 | 339 | 6.79 | 22.3 |
The order of largest and tallest can change at any time due to new discoveries, loss of stem and foliage, growth, and new measurements. One of the better known internet databases for large conifers is the Gymnosperm Database,[9] but its data can be different from other resources due to differences in standards.

Chili is THE ultimate comfort food. It's hot, filling, savoury, fatty, and it sticks to your bones. Generally when I make a pot of chili I just freehand the ingredients and fix it as I go. In the end it ALWAYS ends up tasting great. For your sake I've made a recipe you can follow for it, but feel free to use less or more of ingredients like cayenne, chilies, or really anything. Oh, and do yourself a favour and make a double recipe and freeze some of it up so you can use it later when you need that comfort food fix.
Oops. Just noticed you can see me in the spoon. Oh well.
Spicy Chili
yields approx 4 litres
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1/4 lb ground pork
3 Tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne Pepper
5-10 crushed small dried chillies
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon all spice
Basil to taste
Thyme to taste
Ketchup to taste
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Salt to taste
Olive oil
Sweat your onions and garlic with olive oil and salt in a large thick bottomed pot. Add spices, herbs, and peppers and cook out for a couple minutes. Add tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, ketchup, and worcestershire sauce. Add ground meat and water and mix together. Cover and let simmer for 1 hour. Top with grated cheese (I like to use Asiago cheese) and sour cream. Sit down on the couch with your chili and some crackers and enjoy.

I occasionally upload stuff, when I do it is usually something I find lulzy, or in some way related to something I enjoy.
I mostly reblog lulzy things, stuff I find esthetically pleasing, opinions I agree with, or stuff I just generally like.
Not much to say about me really. My favorite movie is Pulp Fiction, I listen to Bloodhound Gang, and I play vidya. I'm pretty much a no-lifer that lives on the internet.Captain America is my home boy, they never mentioned it in any of the camix or movies, but it's true, just so you know.
