Black Root Rot: Black root rot is caused by the fungus Thielaviopsis basicola. This fungus primarily affects the root system and reduces plant vigor. Aboveground symptoms may include stunting of terminal growth, shortening of internodes and interveinal chlorosis. Infected roots are dark brown to black, usually starting at the root tips. Plants with extensive root rot damage will usually decline and die during dry periods.

Prevention & Treatment: The fungus has the ability to persist in the soil for many years, even in the absence of susceptible plants. High soil moisture and low soil temperatures favor development of black root rot. Fungicide drenches are not generally recommended for landscape use since infected plants cannot be cured. Remove infected plants and replace with other shrubs or resistant holly species, such as Chinese holly (Ilex cornuta). Yaupon holly (I. vomitoria) and American holly (I. opaca) are moderately resistant, while Japanese hollies (I. crenata) are very susceptible to black root rot. Use raised beds in landscape plantings to provide good drainage.
Phytophthora Root Rot: The water mold fungus, Phytophthora cinnamomi, causes root rot on hollies growing in very poorly drained sites or wet areas. Planting too deeply and overmulching may also contribute to disease development. The symptoms of this disease and black root rot are similar. Typically, yellowing of the leaves (particularly at the shoot tips), early leaf drop, slowed plant growth and twig dieback are seen at early stages of the disease. Later, one or more limbs may wilt and die back to the main trunk and a brown to black streak of dead tissue may extend from one area of rotted roots to the damaged limb. Often, the root system will continue to disintegrate until the plant dies.
Prevention & Treatment: Hollies grown under stress are much more sensitive to root rot disease than are well-maintained, vigorous plants. Always select hollies that are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions. Root rot pathogens are often introduced into the landscape on diseased container plants. To avoid introducing these pathogens, purchase hollies with healthy roots and good foliage color. Good cultural practices, such as proper fertilization, control of soil moisture and providing good drainage (raised beds) will reduce the disease. Japanese hollies (I. cenata) are very intolerant of poorly drained soils and are especially prone to root rot.
The fungus thrives in areas with poor drainage and warm soils. Always choose locations that have good drainage for planting. The drainage of existing areas can be improved by using raised beds. Fungicides can be effective on a preventative basis only, and repeat applications are required. Fungicides containing etridiazole (Banrot 8G or Truban 5G) and mefenoxam (Subdue GR) can be applied in the home landscape, but will not cure an infected plant. Due to product cost and for accurate application, homeowners may want to hire a licensed landscaper to apply products containing these fungicides. Apply all chemicals according to directions on the label.
Tar Spot: This disease is caused by the fungus Phacidium curtisii. Yellow spots appear on the leaves of American and English hollies in May. These turn reddish-brown and finally black by fall. In years of heavy rainfall berries as well as leaves are spotted.
Prevention & Treatment: Remove and destroy badly spotted leaves, prune to improve air circulation and overcrowding, and clean up and destroy fallen leaves.
Nematodes: Root-knot (Meloidogyne), ring (Criconemoides), stunt (Tylenchorhynchus), sting (Belonolaimus) and spiral (Helicotylenchus) nematodes are seldom seen due to their microscopic size. They live in organic matter in the soil or on roots and other parts of living plants. Most parasitic nematodes feed by a stylet, sucking juices from plant cells. They injure plants by direct feeding or wounding tissue, making an entrance for other disease organisms. Plant decline is often the only symptom, followed by gradual stunting, chlorosis, and leaf drop.
Prevention & Treatment: Presently there are no effective chemicals registered for control of nematodes in existing landscape plants. Remove infected plant material and surrounding soil. Plant resistant varieties into nematode-free soils. Chinese holly cultivar 'Burford' and Yaupon holly cultivar 'Nana' are tolerant to root-knot, stunt and ring nematodes.
Southern Red Mite: Southern red mite (Oligonychus ilicis) is an important pest of hollies, especially I. crenata 'Convexa', a Japanese holly. Mites are not insects, but are more closely related to spiders. Southern red mite adults are reddish brown and less than 1/50 inch long. Using sucking mouthparts, they feed on the undersides of leaves, where fine webbing is often seen. Symptoms of feeding include light yellow speckling on leaves. Leaves may turn a bronze color and then drop. With severe infestations, webs may cover both leaf surfaces and branch tips. Populations of southern red mites usually peak in spring and fall. They are almost inactive during the heat of midsummer. Check for mites by looking at the undersurface of leaves in early spring or by shaking a branch over white paper.

John A. Weidhass, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, www.forestyimages.org
Control: Naturally occurring predators of mites include various predatory mites, ladybird beetles and other insects. Mites can be removed with a strong spray of water, if applied on a regular basis. Insecticidal soap sprays can provide control when applied before population numbers get too high. The following pesticides are labeled for use by homeowners against southern red mite: horticultural oil (such as Green Light Horticultural Oil Spray, SunSpray Horticultural Oil, Bonide All Seasons Spray Oil, and Southern Ag Parafine Horticultural Oil), bifenthrin (Ortho Bug-B-Gon MAX Lawn & Garden Insect Killer, and Hi-Yield Bug Blaster II), and acephate (Ortho Japanese Beetle Killer). These products should be applied when mites are present and again in seven to 10 days. Horticulture oil may be sprayed when temperatures are between 40 and 85 degrees. As with all pesticides, read and follow all label instructions and precautions.
Leafminers: Leafminers (Phytomyza species) are common pests of hollies. In South Carolina, the native holly leafminer (Phytomyza ilicicola) is the most common. Leafminers are the larvae (immature forms) of small (about 1/8-inch in length) black and gray flies. The larvae are about 1/16 inch long. The adult female inserts eggs into young leaves through puncture wounds made by her ovipositor. The presence of many punctures can result in deformed leaves. The eggs hatch in about four days. The larvae then tunnel through the leaf between the upper and lower surfaces. The paths they follow turn yellowish brown and typically broaden into a blotch. Their presence inside the leaf protects them from many insecticides. Parasitic wasps and birds are natural predators of these pests. American holly (I. opaca) cultivars are particularly susceptible to leafminer damage.

Daniel Herms, The Ohio State University, www.forestryimages.org
Control: With a light infestation, homeowners can handpick and destroy infested leaves. Foliar insecticides labeled for use by the homeowner include systemic insecticides, such as acephate (Ortho Japanese Beetle Killer) for larvae in mines in May. As an alternative, a soil application of dinotefuran (Green Light Tree & Shrub Insect Control) or imidacloprid (Bayer Advanced Garden Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate, Ferti-lome Tree & Shrub Systemic Insect Drench, and Bonide Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Systemaxx) is effective in controlling the larvae within the leaves. Treat shrubs with dinotefuran or imidacloprid in the early spring for season-long protection. Dinotefuran may move into shrubs more quickly than imidacloprid for faster pest control. Horticulture oil may be sprayed when temperatures are between 40 and 85 degrees. Read and follow all label instructions and precautions.
Scale: Many scale species are pests of holly, especially Chinese holly cultivars (I. cornuta). Scales are unusual insects in appearance. They are small and immobile, with no visible legs. Scales vary in appearance depending on age, sex and species. They feed on sap by piercing the leaf or stem with their mouthparts and sucking. They are typically found on the undersurfaces of leaves and look like small brownish or grayish bumps. Some species may be found on the branches as well. Adults are relatively protected from insecticides by their waxy covering. Their immature forms, called crawlers, are susceptible, however.
Control: Light infestations of scale can be scraped off by hand. For heavier infestations, spray with a horticultural oil (Bonide All Season Spray Oil, Ferti-lome Scalecide, Green Light Horticultural Oil Spray, or Ortho Volck Oil Spray) in the early spring to kill adults. Oil should be applied before new growth begins to kill adults and eggs.

United States National Collection of Scale Insects Photographs Archive, USDA Agricultural Research Service, www.forestryimages.org
Monitor the crawler emergence with sticky cards, double-faced tape wrapped around a branch, or by putting an infested shoot or leaf into a baggie and watching for crawler movement. Crawler activity often coincides with the flush of new plant growth in the spring. However, some scale species may have overlapping generations with an extended crawler emergence period, such as along the coast. Spray with horticultural oil in the spring after the plants have begun growing and the danger of cold weather has passed. Repeat this application after 10 days to better control the crawlers, adults and eggs by smothering them. Horticulture oil may be sprayed when temperatures are between 40 and 85 degrees.
Avoid using insecticides unless the plant is very valuable and in serious danger from scale. Insecticides will often kill the naturally occurring predators of scale. If insecticides are going to be used, spray when crawlers are observed. Insecticides labeled for homeowner use against scale crawlers include acephate (Ortho Japanese Beetle Killer), malathion (such as Bonide Malathion, Southern Ag Malathion, Spectracide Malathion Insect Spray, or Ortho Malathion Insect Spray), cyfluthrin (Bayer Advanced Garden Power Force Multi-Insect Killer), permethrin (Bonide Eight Insect Control Vegetable Fruit & Flower Concentrate), bifenthrin (Ortho Bug-B-Gon MAX Lawn & Garden Insect Killer or Hi-Yield Bug Blaster II), and carbaryl (Garden Tech Sevin or Ferti-lome Liquid Carbaryl Spray). As with all pesticides, read and follow all label instructions and precautions.
Purple Leaf Scorch: The most common leaf discoloration is a purplish blotch due to the environment rather than a fungus. This leaf scorching is caused by the presence of water or ice on the leaves at the time the sun is shining brightly. This causes a scalding, followed by invasion of secondary organisms and finally by scorching.
Spine Spot: Small, gray spots with purple halos are caused by the puncturing of the leaves by the spines of adjacent holly leaves. This "spine spot" is often confused with the slits made by the holly leafminer. The latter have neither a gray center nor a purple halo.
Winter Damage: Symptoms of winter damage may be browning of leaves, marginal leaf scorch, defoliation, twig and limb death, and death of entire plants.
Drought Damage: Holly leaves often turn yellow or brown during a sudden drought period. Japanese hollies, particularly 'Helleri', are not very tolerant to low soil moisture, particularly for the first several years after planting. Keep plants watered during periods of drought.

Change In Supply
Definition of 'Change In Supply'
A term used in economics to describe when the suppliers of a given good or service have altered their production or output. A change in supply can be brought on by new technologies, making production more efficient and less expensive, or by a change in the number of competitors in the market.
Investopedia explains 'Change In Supply'
A change in supply will lead to a shift in the supply curve, which will cause an imbalance in the market that is corrected by changing prices and demand. If the change in supply increases supply, you will see the supply curve shift to the right, while a decrease in supply from a change in supply will shift the supply curve left.
For example, if there is a new technology that makes the production of DVD players a lot cheaper, according to the law of supply, there will be an increase in the output of DVD players. With more outputs in the market, the price of DVD players will likely fall, creating greater demand in the marketplace and more overall sales of DVD players.

Franks ankle gets broken, and the guys are given a chance to play for their freedom...
"It'll be something really horrible, they wont want to risk him 'succeeding'." Said Ray angrily. Gerard stared at the stairs as if something was there.
"They wont hurt him will they Ray?" He asked, not moving his gaze. Ray licked his lips and glanced at us. It was clear what the answer was.
"Well..." Ray stopped.
"Its okay. You dont have to tell me" Said Gerard, catching the hint. We were silent after that. Waiting and listening for any sound of what was going on but we couldnt hear anything. Somehow, the silence made everything worse. "He'll be okay Gee. He's tough" Said Mikey.
"Yeah..." Mumbled Gerard. I sighed and let my head fall back on the wall. This whole thing was insane and I couldnt stand it. After a while I fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of the door being opened and we all looked up to see Frank being shoved down the stairs, he didnt get far before his ankle gave way and he tumbled down to the bottom. Star laughed cruelly and shut the door. "FRANKIE!" Cried Gerard, he ran over to Franks sobbing form and picked him up, gently hugging him. "Shh, its okay. Its okay I;ve got you" He soothed. Gerard walked back over to us and sat down, cuddling Frank in his lap. We all wanted to ask what had happened, but Frank was crying so hard it was clear now wasnt the time. Soon his crying calmed and he wiped his eyes. "Sorry..." He mumbled.
"What for?" Asked Gerard.
"For crying like that" Frank whispered. Gerard smiled and cuddled Frank closer, kissing his wet cheeks.
"Thats nothing to be sorry about." He said. Frank gave a weak smile.
"What happened Frankie?" Asked Mikey. Frank looked sadly at the floor.
"I failed. I wont be allowed to go." He said.
"What did you have to do?" I asked. He looked up at us and sighed.
"I was tied up and blindfolded and they just left me there for ages and then they told me I could go if I slept with them." He paused as we allowed this information to sink in. It left us all feeling sick and he continued. "I said no so they kicked me over and over and told me I was gay and they kept throwing insults at me but I didnt care and then they said I had to be punished for failing and they got my bad ankle and..." Fresh tears leaked down his face and he took a deep breath before carrying on. "And they broke it and then they told me that I could still go if I shot Gee and I said no so they brought me back here." Frank was instantly hugged by all of us at once.
"Let me check your ankle." Said Gerard and he gently pulled up the bottom of Franks jeans. His ankle was a purpley blue colour and you could see the bone had almost broke through the skin. Frank bit his lip to stop himself crying and I looked away, unable to stand the sight of his ankle. "Those bitches." Snarled Mikey. The door re - opened and our heads snapped to see who it was. Kat. "Okay. Next person. I think we'll have..." She looked at us all. "Hmm...Gerard. Why dont you come up here honey?" She cooed. Gerard didnt move, the murderous look on his face said it all. Kat pointed her gun at Frank. "Come with me or I'll kill your preciouse boyfriend." She snarled. Gerard reluctantly moved Frank off his lap and got to his feet. Frank whimpered and Gerard gently kissed his lips before walking across the basement and up the stairs. Kat smiled and waited until he had gone through the door before slamming it shut. Leaving us in darkness once again.
A/N: Whats gonna happen to Gee. Will he fail? Will he succeed? I'll try to update very soon! :)

"Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand- and melting like a snowflake." -Francis Bacon Sr.
The inspiration for this blog came from my favorite poem when I was little, The Butterfly Jar by Jeff Moss:
"We had a jar with a butterfly.
We opened the lid and it flew to the sky.
And there are things inside my head
Waiting to be thought or said;
Dreams and jokes and wonderings are
Locked inside, like a butterfly jar.
But then, when you are here with me,
I can open the lid and set them free."

Welll...Buffy fucked up the world again. Good job! Now we have invulnerable sun-resistant vampires by default. Good job! Dawn came back but is quite...weird. The First Vampire is dead Simone is dead Severin is dead. Illyria is dead. Oh and Giles's Vampyr book is now COMPLETELY EMPTY??? Oh and by the way, Dawn might hate Xander now...or Dawn might not really be Dawn.
"not darker than season six" my ass.
Still not okay that Declan(despite now having actual storyline) while buttface Aiden survived(despite ruining the show). Jack now had everyone around him die, even his own fucking dog.
Oh well, at least S3 sounds better and better right now and they earned MAJOR bonus points by doing the promo in same style and Damages Season Five promo was done.
Also apparantly there are rumours that Emily kills Conrad in the premiere by poisoning his drink or whatever.
Oh well, still seeing a darker Emily, off-the-rails Nolan and the return to the classic Revenge style far outweighs the possibility of Buttface still living(although I am betting he will be the one to kill Emily).
I am reading all the laubo comments and can't stop laughing. THey make it sound like second coming of jesus christ.
The mermaids had fangs and ate the sailors basically, after luring them off the boats with singing
although they added a bit of sirens iwth that bit, its quite accurate.
The mythological mermaids did not "lure men"(that would be sirens), but instead would distract sailors with their voices(and their appearances), causing the ships to crash and drowning the survivors by dragging them down to the depths. Other tales have mermen/mermaids dragging the unaware humans, who were walking down the shore, to their deaths
Finnish/norse mermaids/mermen were tricksters who would offer deals, brew potions, lift and place curses, etc and in most of Finnish mythos, mermaids/mermen are neutral chaotic figures who offer some kind of a deal, with certain conditions to not be broken, which, if broken, can cause destruction of whole cities, as repercussion. AT the same time, they are also known to warn sailors of storms and dangers, protecting their ships, foretelling the future to them and warning them of impending deaths.

fun prank idea: go to starbucks and tell the cashier your name is "Dad." then when the barista starts calling...
Dear Hamish and Andy's Euro Gap Year,
The only thing you should be apologising for is:
From your friend,
Someone has some instore appearances coming up!
And in a special coup for this Tumblr, I can reveal that Zoe Von Dingus Foster the Eighth's bestselling beauty book, Amazing Face, is going into Sportsgirl stores nationally this week!
Which means when you go in to "browse" and not accidentally buy two singlets, some blue sandals, a fetching little summer scarf, a tan clutch and some peachy lipgloss, you can also buy what The Queen calls, "a book" … AMAZING FACE! What a win.
To celebrate this joyous news, I will be appearing instore at the following times and dates to do some beauty workshops and chat about some fun beauty trends and answer your questions and sign your books. There will even be makeup artists there to help you look even more enchanting than you usually do. Imagine that!
Obviously you should come down and play, if not to say hi, or get some new makeup, or play with some new trends, or try on some coral-coloured jeans, but to buy four (signed) copies of the book for all of your sisters and girlfriends for Christmas.
And, before the WA, SA, Qld girls start throwing things: I am terribly sorry I'm only doing Sydney and Melbourne. For now. You never know what 2012 holds! Unless you're the Mayans, in which case it's the apocalypse.
Sportsgirl, Bourke St Mall, Melbourne
Friday, 4th of November, 12pm - 1.30pm.
Sportsgirl, Pitt St Mall, Sydney
Thursday, 10th of November, 5pm - 6.30pm.
I look forward to seeing you there, and whatever you do, DON'T FORGET THE CODEWORD WHEN YOU SEE ME. ("Aubergine.")
From your friend,

Mitsubishi got its start making machines designed to kill Americans. Some things never change.
If you want an electric car you can live with, save up for a Tesla S.
Mitsubishi took deposits on one price, then gobbled up the deposits and more with a price increase. The word and honor of Mitsubishi is not worthy of urination.
The looks of these definitely needs to change. Tesla is on the right track but prices still need to come down. Prices will come down though and people will slowly convert. Plenty of people who will buy simply to be different and as prices go down the everyday consumer will jump into the mkt.
Tesla appears to be suffering from reliability issues. Tesla supplied two vehicles to Top Gear and both eventually became inoperable. Even Edmunds.com lists one of the cons for the Tesla S as unknown reliability. According to Top Gear the Roadster's true range is only around 55 miles per charge. That is less than the i-MiEV's 60 to 70 mile range. I'd also like to see the NHTSA crash-test data for the 2012 model.
Electric vehicles are no longer new. Time to start giving them big-boy names.
They don't call the Chevy Suburban "The Guzzler," (well I do, but that's not official in any way) and car companies shouldn't feel compeled to brand their electric vehicles with names like "Volt." Yeah, great, a unit of measurement. How exciting.
My feeling is that for electric-only cars, marketing a car at about $19,999 seems most likely a good entry point. Anything more and people are comparing the extra cost of payments per month versus how much is being saved by going to electric vs gas, as well as the range. For Hybrids like the Volt, I don't see widespread adoption until the post-instant-rebate (assuming that legislation passes), means the bottom-line price is something along the lines of $24,999. RIght now a Volt is $41k with a $7.5k tax-time credit. No wonder its not flying off the shelves.
Wow, unbelievable stupidity on parade. First, all vehicles sold in the US must meet the SAME safety standards. NHTSA decides which vehicles to test and they set the timetable — therefore, many limited volume (under 20,000/year) vehicles are just not RETESTED by NHTSA themselves. The OEMs must test and provide results to NHTSA, otherwise they are not allowed to sell.
Second, $10,00 mark-up? Just how stupid are you? All EVs from REAL OEMs (not the startups that will disappear once their lack of durability is shown — bye. bye Fisker!) are losing money on each of these vehicles — anyone with understanding of the Automotive industry knows the piece of low volume components knows these vehicles are underpriced.
EVs make sense if you are intelligent enough to understand cost accounting and are looking for a low cost method of personal transportation. If you need more, check your ego — EVs are not for you. Personally, I'd like to see the price of Ferraris drop to $19,999……
I enjoy not buying and burning gasoline into the air. I like keeping my money to buy things I want and not gasoline. My Volt is worth $40K. It's so fun to drive and own. No gas car drives like a Volt.
Why do some feel that they are entitled be able to buy a cheap EV? Keep buying gas if you feel that is cheaper.
The Volt is $40K. get over it.
"begin with a price most people would be willing to pay, then tack on $10,000″ seems kind of an odd comment. Nobody's "tacking on" anything – they're struggling to keep their losses down on these low-volume products with their expensive battery packs, hoping to seed the market and kick off a virtuous cycle to build economies of scale. I find the U.S.-spec i-MiEV a pleasure to drive in a way that nothing else quite matches for the money (the Leaf is great, but about $8K more if you insist on a Level 3 charger, which I do, albeit loaded with wonderful toys and amenities for those who want them, which I don't). How "nice" does a car have to be when its mission is limited to shorter commutes and quick errands around town, which is all EVs are good for at this point? I don't accept "crude" (the i's road manners are quite refined compared to many much larger compacts), but a "bare bones egg" is fair enough – and that's the form best suited to the constraints of current battery technology.
This is an auto review article? I've read pamphlets with more information than this. The author should be fired from whatever job he actually has. What an imbecile. The cost of the iMIEV is NOT $31,125, or X + $10,000 as the author, tounge in cheek, mocks. When one considers the base price of the iMIEV and then subtracts the various federal tax credits, the net cost of the base model actually starts at $21,625. And for that one gets a vehicle with power windows, a/c, a radio, seating for four, and a fold down back seat for extra storage. Basic, safe, purely electric transportation that doesn't need a drop of gasoline. Pay a bit more and add some options including a D/C level 3 quick charge port to fill it up in less than a half hour. For $21k this is actually the value leader of all electric cars now sold. The reporter should take two minutes to do his research the next time he pretends to report on a vehicle. And, oh, yeah, really drive the thing,
This is a nice post.It has a good tips here. Thank you for sharing.

Hear, Hear, Robin...I say the same thing to myself about black. I tried "switching" to blue a couple of years ago, just to be different, but nothing makes my heart race like black and white!ReplyDelete
Margy, I was looking at EmmaOneSock last night and I saw a few that made me say, "that is so Margy!"
You have been an inspiration to me to just stick with what works. You look so great in black and white!
It sounds like you area really on a roll, Robin! That is great that you are discovering your personal style and what works.ReplyDelete
Yes, I think I am on a roll! Fast and easy sewing is great.Delete
There are so many people who just know their style, and colours and they just ALWAYS look fantastic - I guess we should just have courage in our own convictions.
p/s I think you met up with Sigrid when she visited NYC?? We have met twice now in Holland and are planning a 3rd meet in June - lovely lady.
Lucky you and Sigrid! Yes, I enjoyed meeting her in NYC.Delete
Ooo, I saw the overshirt and it reminded me of a few patterns in Burda 2011/6. I remember blogging about it a while ago. There's a few similar tops toward the bottom, including a long button-up.
Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but it may be a place to start in that pile of patterns!
Heather you are right - the shirt styled as a beach cover-up is just what I am looking for. I found one in the May 2008 issue (I had stopped my subscription before June 2011, so I don't have that one)ReplyDelete
I do love the silhouette with the longer shirt and capri pants. Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
Black - YES YES!ReplyDelete
The sheer overshirt is great with capris. Looking forward to your interpretation. I'm with you - I'm not quitting black.ReplyDelete
Wow, anyone who can sew three pairs of pants in one day is a goddess in my eyes! I was just rummaging around your other posts too. So much goodness! I am a new disciple. I often wear black but hope that when I do people see the colour underneath the mere fabric!! Tee hee.ReplyDelete
Black no I never wear it, but grey and mottled and navy and anything but. I love oversized shirts with straight legs pants - good look!ReplyDelete
This pattern would also be a cute swim coverup.ReplyDelete
I was thinking the same thing. Double-duty.Delete
Thanks for visiting my blog and Happy Sewing, xo

Tell Stories With Interactive Timelines from Dipity
Timelines, much like calendars, can be used to show changes over time in a straightforward way. When you have a bunch of events that occurred at certain times, mark them on a timeline, and you quickly get a sense of what's going on. Take the timeline of 10 largest data breaches for example. You see breaches get more dense as time goes by.
Wrap this idea into web application form, and you get Dippity. There have been similar timeline applications, but Dippity does it a bit better with a primary focus on telling stories with timelines and a good interface. Zoom in, zoom out, drag, and get alternative views as flipbook, list, and map.
Below is a little bit of context to my gas price chart. Check out the full version for a better idea of what Dippity offers.
[Thanks, Canna]

Am I the only one that feels this has a bit too much clutter? The timelines from circaVie or Simile are easier to scan through.
hmm, it's a little cluttered initially, but you can zoom in and out, which takes care of that for the most part.

good quality and design
December 20, 2009
light weight but still enough room to sleep comfortably and stash some gear. I tie a small piece of chord from loops and attach to tree branch or tripod to allow better ventilation and have had no condensation issues.
Not waterproof
July 05, 2010
In the past, we have had good experience with Outdoor Research products. This is not the case with this bivy. During my husband's camping, he found the bivy not waterproof and not breathable. Disappointing.
Pricey, but invaluable
August 11, 2010
the OR aurora bivy is a bit pricey but stands up to expectations. used it hiking on the appalachian trail and certainly wasnt disappointed. i would recommend it to anyone looking for moderate coverage with very minimal weight.
Great for any kind of sleeping bag!
August 19, 2008
well built, warm and totally water proof that you can enjoy the camping under any weather condition.

AUBURN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – While police were arresting a man on child pornography charges Thursday, they found evidence of a meth lab in his home.
Derek A. Ransom, 30, of Auburn, was arraigned Friday on two counts of child pornography. Arrest warrants were issued for manufacture and possession of a class B drug (methamphetamine), officials say.
While arresting Ransom, police found a bucket filled with chemicals similar to what would be used to manufacture methamphetamine. Police found additional drug evidence after searching his home.
The child porn charges came from an investigation by the State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, officials say.
If Ransom posts bail, he was ordered to discontinue his use of the Internet, computer monitors and images. He was also ordered to stay away from children under the age of 18.
He was held on held on $20,000 cash bail and his case was continued to Feb. 21.

Will Non-Profits Try To Stop Their Workers From Unionizing?

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
When employees of Larkin Street Youth Services in San Francisco began talking about unionizing earlier this spring, their concerns centered on issues familiar to workers of all stripes: understaffed departments, increased workloads, benefit cuts, high turnover. Although an attempt to unionize in October 2010 was unsuccessful, most employees at the homeless services nonprofit believed that the effort would end differently this time around.
The workers engaged in a full-throated unionization drive, complete with outreach to supervisors in San Francisco City Hall and meetings with community-based organizations and political entities to garner widespread support. Nearly all the nonprofit's staff participated in the election, and when the vote was counted on June 6, the outcome was clear: By a margin of 67 to 17, Larkin Street workers voted to unionize with representation through SEIU 1021, a labor organization that represents employees of local governments, health care organizations, and school districts throughout Northern California. The Larkin Street workers joined the Lusty Lady, the Exploratorium, La Clinica de le Raza, and scores of others as rare beasts in the US economic order: unionized nonprofits.
Larkin Street's move to unionize has implications that reverberate beyond its home in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. The growth of nonprofits nationwide is coinciding with the decline of union membership, so nonprofits could become a new battleground in the labor movement, particularly since nonprofits are now filling gaps in the economy that were once occupied by government agencies that employed union workers. And the battle could start in the Bay Area, which has the third-highest number of nonprofit organizations of any metropolitan area in the country (behind only New York City and Washington, DC), and has a unionization rate that is 6 percent higher than the national average.
Nationwide, organized labor has been in a serious decline for decades. In 1983, the union membership rate across all industries was 20.1 percent, covering 17.7 million union workers. Today, that figure stands at 11.3 percent, covering 14.4 million workers.
The nonprofit sector, on the other hand, is large and expanding. In fact, it's the third-largest industry in the United States behind retail and manufacturing. There are more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States, holding more than a trillion dollars in assets, and providing services ranging from low-cost health care to river cleanup. According to a 2012 report by the Center for Civil Society Studies at Johns Hopkins University, nonprofit employment represented 10.1 percent of total employment in the United States in 2010, with total workforce numbering 10.7 million.
The nonprofit sector has also continued to grow even while the rest of the US economy was contracting. Shrinking state and local tax revenues during the recession from 2007 to 2009 resulted in vital services like low-cost health care and affordable housing being cut from government budgets — a trend that often resulted in nonprofits filling in the holes. During the recession, the nonprofit sector gained jobs at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year, while the private sector lost jobs at a rate of 3.7 percent annually.
Moreover, services once provided by a workplace segment enjoying the highest unionization rates in the country — more than 50 percent of public sector employees are unionized — are in many cases now provided by a sector with one of the lowest rates of unionization — less than 6 percent of nonprofit employees are unionized.
It also seems apparent that a growing number of people will have their needs met in the years to come by nonprofits. And according to union proponents, it isn't just employees who will bear the consequences. Sue Englander, who is a retired educator and member of AFT 2121, the American Federation of Teachers, said that, in her experience, many nonprofit managers apply pressure on workers to accept low wages and unreasonable workloads, and that increased stress for workers negatively impacts the services that the nonprofits provide. "By devaluing themselves, and allowing themselves to put up with poor working conditions, it's their clients who are suffering," said Englander of nonprofit employees.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Three more Jefferson County high schools are asking for students to be allowed to use their cell phones and smart devices in the classroom.
On Monday, Jan. 13, the public school board will meet and according to the agenda Doss, Moore and Pleasure Ridge Park will ask for the waiver that's already been granted to eight other schools.
Phone use is allowed under the condition that phones and devices are used appropriately and at teacher discretion.

Finding relief to the traffic problems in Green Hills is one of the most challenging projects for the Metro Planning Department.
Another community discussion took place Wednesday in the wake of a newly released revised plan to address the issue.
"It's a very built-up area lot of congestion; a lot of traffic through there. It's also one of the most in-demand areas in the city in terms of development, so those are all factors that affect the situation," said Craig Owensby with the planning department.
An average 30,000 cars pass through the heart of Green Hills, down Hillsboro Pike, on any given day, with the busiest areas being around the mall.
One of the proposals in the revised plan is to extend Abbott Martin, which runs just south of the mall, across Hillsboro Pike. The road extension would curve by Fox's Donut Den, through the current parking lot of Hillsboro High School, and connect to Hillmont Drive behind the school.
Owensby says either you can reduce the number of cars that come through the area, or provide alternate routes.
"That whole area is built on the old style layout of curved roads—a lot of cul-de-sacs, which makes it tough to get travel through there, but if some more streets are built and it's more of a grid, you have a lot better traffic flow," he explained.
The plan has been whittled down from 132 pages in 2011 to just 69 pages now.
And what was left out of the latest version was a proposed interchange from Interstate 440 onto Granny White, a huge deal for residents in the area.
Many have signs in their yards that read "No Exit Granny White." They remain even though the proposal was cut from the latest plans.
"I think we won. We're very proud of that, proud of the young neighbors that have gone to bat for it," said Patti Gregory, who lives near I-440.
The whole area is still a work in progress, but the main hope is to make Green Hills much more pedestrian and bicycle friendly, ultimately cutting down on all the traffic.

Readers should be aware that The Pilgrim's Progress is a specifically Christian work. At times the doctrines proclaimed here may lead to what some modern readers might think of as antisocial behavior. For example, Christian leaves his wife and four children to pursue the lonely path to salvation since their hearts have become hardened to him and they think his enterprise is a waste of time. Modern readers might question whether people should follow so uncompromisingly what they believe is right.
The Christianity presented may seem very severe by modem standards, but it is not arbitrarily Puritanical. One will not find this a disputatious or overly doctrinal work. Even though the Calvinist doctrine of the universal depravity of humanity may provide a basic underpinning for most of what occurs in The Pilgrim's Progress, it is never stated as such. What gives the work its life is Bunyan's vivid...

I have a 70 pally tank (Alibi of Anetheron US), and the guide is pretty much right on. I am currently tanking all level 70 instances (have been tanking instances since lvl 68), and have tanked Heroic instances also (Ramparts, Slave Pens, Mechinar). The only real problem I've encountered is that though Seal of the Crusader is useful, it really cuts down on your threat generation initially, seeing as a great deal of threat is generated by judging Righteousness on your target, instead of judging Crusader and then waiting for the cooldown to judge Righteousness. The other issue I have just has to do with gear for pally tanking. This is probably more of a complaint of drop rates, as I've run Steamvaults so many times but have not seen, the Devilshark Cape or the Righteous Breastplate. Same with my frustration of the Righteous Shoulders in Botannica. None the less, it's a blast and I really enjoy tanking, but if you're looking to have any more utility than just tanking an instance without respecing, good luck.

Here is a picture of me and my sister. I'm the tri-colored one; she is the black one. I'm smaller, but she lets me be the boss. My mom and dad let me be the boss, too.
My sister had a big sister, but she got sick and passed away. My mom and dad and sister cried and cried, and my sister wouldn't even get out of her bed. So my mom and dad bought me when I was 5 1/2 months old.
I weighed a whole 3 pounds, 2 ounces. I'm a big boy -- or so I think. My sister gives lots of love and kisses. I'm bossy and growl a lot, as if I weigh 200 pounds. They ignore me!
They really love us both a lot, and we love them. Mom bought us a pool. I like it, but my sis doesn't.
We sleep with Mom and Dad. Actually, we hog the bed!
Well, it is bedtime, so I better wash up. Thanks for reading my letter. I told you I growl a lot, and I guess I talk a lot, too!
We have a great life. My mom's and dad's names are Tony and Leilani Grumadas, and we live in East Moline.

J. Lo's Orgasmic Pregnancy
Among the many improbable things that arise in J. Lo's new flick, "The Back-Up Plan" (a comedy about the misadventures of single motherhood), is the totally silly premise that pregnancy makes you more orgasmic.
During a 30-second make-out session with her new beau, J. Lo's character has a spontaneous and intense orgasm. Her girlfriend explains to her as she's on the elliptical machine (because, of course, pregnant ladies have enough energy to simultaneously do a serious workout and carry on a titillating conversation) that pregnant women are more orgasmic because of all the extra blood flow to the body.
And here I thought that all that extra blood flow simply gave us kankles. What do you know: It also makes us orgasm on the bus!
In case you haven't gotten wind of "The Back-Up Plan" yet, J. Lo plays a single working girl who decides to go it alone and get pregnant via artificial insemination -- only to later fall for Mr. Right and find that everything turns out just dandy. (This is Hollywood, after all, where no attractive, successful woman would really want to end up a single mother.)
In my totally unscientific study of one (yours truly), I found that pregnancy was not exactly a recipe for amazing sex. Let's start with the whole problem of the first trimester, when you'd rather hurl than do just about anything. I don't know about you, but the combination of crippling nausea and overwhelming fatigue didn't exactly make me feel frisky.
I could, however, buy it in the second trimester, when your energy's back, you don't feel like a beached whale and all that "glow" makes you look kind of lovely. But I wouldn't say it made for multiple orgasms. It just made for a few months of normal sex again.
And the third trimester? Forget it. Nothing like not being able to tie your own shoes to really put a damper on your mobility between the sheets. But go, J.Lo, for promoting the hot-mama myth!
What about you, ladies? Did pregnancy improve your sex life -- or just prepare you for the sexless early days of mommyhood?
First pregnancy- yes it was more intense but sadly after my son was born it went away completely and nothing feels the same at all…not even close. Sometimes I have to think "did I"? because it is so mild. Boo. I am pregnant again and nothing has returned, again sadly. ;(
With all 3 pregnancies, really intense and frequent o's. Maybe there is something to the extra blood flow explanation…
It sucked, everytime I had an orgasm while pregnant I puked 5 hours straight after….And it's been 4 months since birth & I still can't have sex- it huts because of the 4- 4th degree tears I had…. so yeah no sex here… poor hubby…he's good about it though, thank goodness!
With my first no, he ended up being a boy. With my second yes, she ended up being a girl and with my last one no he ended up being a boy. Ironically I was SO extremely sexual with my pregnancy with my daughter. Very weird but a true story. I guess my boys want me all to themselves, back off dad! Also there is a proper way to stand when your not pregnant to get extra blood flow down there….I told my man not to tell me. I don't need to be any more out of control than I already am. ^_^
Not during my pregencies but after the birth of my 1st, all of my orgasms came easier and with better intensty. Bonus, I also started having multiple orgasms as well. It been 10 yrs since having both my kids and it still is that way. WHOO HOO!
I've been preg 2x, one baby and lost the other. but both preganacies i was BEYOND ready for sex. So much so my hubby told me "didnt we jus have sex 3 hours ago??" I was always in the mood and O'd soooo much! lol
If I would of had Jennifer's body it probably would of enriched my sex life, but I was in the middle of a divorce, so I never had the extra pleasures, but I do know that everything was sensitive, and I mean everything. Going on bumpy rides was nice!

A private investigator thinks he knows who killed a Paris couple in 1986.
Bill Clutter sent an affidavit to Gov. Pat Quinn, encouraging him to sign a clemency petition for Herb Whitlock and Randy Steidl.
Whitlock and Steidl were originally convicted of the murders and spent nearly two decades behind bars. In the 14 page document, Clutter lays out evidence that he says shows that Texas death row inmate Tommy Lynn Sells was the one killed Dyke and Karen Rhoades and then set the house on fire.
Clutter says Sells was a drifter who checked into a nearby hotel just hours before the murders. He also wrote Clutter a letter, where he appeared to know more about the murders than he let on.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York state lawmaker says he will appeal an ethics committee's finding that he sexually harassed staff members.
A spokesman for Assemblyman Micah Kellner said Tuesday that Kellner does not accept the sanctions imposed by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. The spokesman said a public hearing must be held in accordance with the Assembly's sexual harassment policy.
The Assembly ethics committee said Monday its investigation showed Kellner violated the Assembly's sexual harassment policy by making inappropriate comments to staff members in 2009 and 2011.
Silver said Kellner would be removed from his post as chairman of the committee on libraries.
Silver said Kellner also would not be permitted to have interns working in his office.
Kellner, a Manhattan Democrat, denies the accusations against him.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – A Lansing-based homeless shelter that was shut down by the city on Tuesday due to multiple violations will reopen on Monday.According to Mark Bozzo of the Lansing City Outreach, his shelter now has the permit it needs to feed and clothe the homeless at its Larch Street location. Officials with the Lansing Department of Planning and Neighborhood Development said the shelter was cited because it allowed people to sleep in the building without having the proper permits to do so. The shelter also had minor electrical and plumbing problems. Bozzo said he worked with contractors to fix the issues, and met with city officials on Friday who he said will allow the shelter to take in the homeless during the daytime hours. We're able to serve the homeless. We'll be able to get them off the street, be able to have a place where they can come and sit now outside of the cold during the day," said Bozzo. "And it's legal, and it's up to code, and it'll be everything we need."Bozzo said the shelter will be able to hold up to 49 people, and once adjustments are made to one of the exits, the capacity will triple.Emerald Morrow is a reporter with WLNS-TV.

I was thinking more along the lines of certain artifacts, when you complete them, will start a quest and the dude who collects all those monthly artifacts will accept them and he'll trade you something in return. Not like the monthly profession-boosting/ticket quests (I assume that's what you're referring to).
Great idea ^_^. Just handing in 15 fossil artifacts each month is kinda boring, when there's so much that could be done with archy and DMF. Perhaps have a look through the list of greys you can find, see which ones would fit into DMF, make them white (so they don't auto-sell) and let us turn them into the archy guy in DMF for rep/tickets.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (WHBL) - The Milwaukee Brewers won their second straight game at San Francisco Wednesday night, 6-1. But it came with a price, as second baseman Rickie Weeks left in the eighth inning with a strained left hamstring suffered when he grounded out. Manager Ron Roenicke said Weeks might be headed for the disabled list. The Brewers were down 1-0 in the eighth when they scored four runs, capped off by a two-run single from Norichika Aoki. Milwaukee added two more in the ninth, including a solo homer from Khris Davis. Alfredo Figaro pitched two innings of relief to get the win. He's 2-3. Marco Estrada threw five shutout innings in his first start for Milwaukee since June third. Estrada gave up just one hit, with no walks and six strikeouts. Madison Bumgarner gave up four runs in seven-plus frames for the loss. He's 11-7, and he ended a streak of nine starts in which he gave up two runs or less. The Giants broke a scoreless tie in the seventh when Buster Posey hit a sacrifice liner to left, and Davis made a diving catch to prevent a second run from scoring. San Francisco only had three hits on the night in losing their fourth game in their last five. The Brewers and Giants will close out their four-game series this afternoon. Right-hander Donovan Hand starts against Giants' veteran right-hander Tim Lincecum. Pregame coverage on WHBL begins at 2:10.
