My wife called out to me, "There's a turtle in the driveway."
"What new fangled kind of car is that," I wondered to myself. Then I realized she was talking about the four-legged kind with a shell.
I went to the upstairs window, and sure enough, there was a turtle in the driveway. It had apparently come down the street and made the right hand turn into the driveway. As we watched, it proceeded up the drive toward the house.
Working on being technologically savvy, I raced downstairs with my smartphone in hand and took a couple of photos to share with our daughters, niftily sending text messages with the picture attached. Isn't that what we do in the 21st century? (But don't look for it on Facebook, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. Like the turtle I am steady, but slow.)
After I went inside, the turtle continued its trek up the driveway and made the 90-degree left turn onto the sidewalk that leads to our front steps. He continued on the pavement to the first step and veered off into the front garden and then to the base of the house, where it stopped to rest.
We were getting ready for a luncheon meeting, and our friendly turtle was gone by the time we went back outside. There were lots of shady spots for him to go. He might have gone next door into the azalea patch. He might have burrowed under the fence and gone into our backyard. He might have made it to the wooded area behind our house.
A couple of hours later the four grandchildren were at the house. They scoured the side yard, the backyard and even the front yard but found no sign of the shelled one.
All this turtle activity got me wondering about box turtles. Why would he be wandering around? What would he be looking for? Was it a he? Where else would I go to find out such information than the Internet? It was off to ADW the Animal Diversity Web, a product of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology.
There I found that terrapene carolina can live for 100 years or more in the wild, lives in a radius of about 750 feet, is an omnivore with youngsters eating mostly meat and adults eating mostly vegetation. They typically are most active in the morning or after a rain and tend to find shelter when it is hottest.
Older turtles don't have predators because they are able to hide securely inside their hinged shells. For those who are thinking that man can be a predator with thoughts of turtle soup, the article from Michigan warned that these creatures sometimes eat poisonous mushrooms whose toxins can remain in the flesh of the turtle.
Sometimes I think that because we live in or near a city that humans are the only creatures around. It really doesn't take long to see the variety of wildlife that exists in our little corner of South Carolina. I regularly see squirrels and rabbits on my morning walk with the dogs. Deer come past our backyard fence, and we have seen their tracks in the front yard.
Around Aiken Golf Course, where I play golf (and golf usually wins), there are colonies of fox squirrels in addition to the gray squirrels which are more prevalent. Foxes, possums, raccoons and armadillos are also found in our area.
Then there are the birds that are too numerous for me to begin naming. From humming birds to wrens to robins to hawks to herons, they are in abundance and easily spotted if not easily identified by most of us.
The wonders of nature are special and often right in front of our noses. Sometimes it takes a turtle walking up the driveway and practically knocking at the door to make us realize what a magnificent place this planet of ours is.

The public-private partnership is aimed at increasing the height of the Howard St. Tunnel so two containers can be loaded onto intermodal cars, making it more efficient for traffic moving to and from the Port of Baltimore.
Trucking and intermodal carrier Swift Transportation grew net income 4.7 percent year-over-year to $38 million in third quarter 2016 on revenues that slipped 4.9 percent to $1.01 billion compared with the same 2015 period.
RoadOne IntermodaLogistics said it has acquired Milford, Conn.-based C & V Transportation in an effort to expand its operations in southern New England and the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Investments in new projects are slowing, and Neil Davidson, senior analyst in Drewry's ports and terminals practice, warned that a sudden rebound in demand could be a problem.
Aviation industry officials and governments are expected to finalize a global climate change agreement at the International Civil Aviation Organization's 39th Assembly in Montreal, which begins today, according to the Air Transport Action Group.
Assets related to the South Korean shipping company's services to the United States will be put up for sale as soon as tomorrow, multiple press reports said Thursday.

4/27 – Yankees at Tigers
How do you get to Comerica Park? If this were a bad joke, the answer would be 'practice.' But in my case, it involved a 3:45 a.m. wakeup call at the Copley Marriott, a shut-eye cab ride to Logan Airport, a flight with an interrupted stopover in Newark, N.J., and finally a knuckleball landing in the outskirts of Detroit Rock City.
Was it all bad? No. My hotel room has a view of the stadium from 66 stories above downtown Detroit and I must say, it's pretty cool to see the office from that height.
And they say this job isn't glamorous! Well, we all made it here as the Yankees and Tigers are underway at Comerica — which, as Tyler Kepner eloquently puts in on his blog, is one of the more underrated stadiums in the league. I don't know exactly what do do in Detroit when I'm not at Comerica, but they don't pay me for that anyway.
Brief notes on the lineups — Johnny Damon is in there for the Yankees and says he's not 100 percent with his left shoulder, but it's playable. They're not sending him for tests and Damon says that's fine, because he doesn't really want to know what's wrong anyway. Angel Berroa gets a day off after his two-error showing on Sunday at Fenway, and Joe Girardi is playing the hot hand in Melky Cabrera over Brett Gardner.
Without further delay, the lineups, brought to you by the 5-hour Energy shot I downed in the press box 20 minutes before first pitch:
Derek Jeter SS
Johnny Damon LF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Hideki Matsui DH
Robinson Cano 2B

1 more thing, who cares if you have 2 lefties back to back? Having the righty-lefty switch hasn't worked so far.
I was all for Girardi as coach as well. He can go to hell now. Any one of us can do an equivalent if not better job. He needs to change the lineup for starters.

I guess the word hasn't gotten out yet, There is a conspiracy going on in the AL, Every opposing pitcher will be able to pitch as if he were a Cy Young winner. They are testing our mettle to see how tough we are, Thus far we have been proven a soft touch. It doesn't matter who goes to the mound they will make the Yankees look anemic……………
.. All I see on this site is negativity. At the onset of the season there we all had great expectations, They are still there. We all share the same feelings and we're disappointed in the poor start. As I have said before.. If you are really a Yankee fan, then you have to stand by your team. This team CAN and WILL be a winner. (HUGHES WILL WIN TONIGHT) OK?
Joe, needs to pull these guys together, he needs to get them fired up, If he can't do that then get rid of him.. This team has all the tools necessary to win, if they are used correctly they will respond.. Let's not give up so early in the season.. WE CAN WIN!!
Send out an APB for Mel Stottlemyre. Best pitching coach the Yankees ever had. Further, when he was young in 1964, he threw the exact same pitches as Wang and could fix him. Highest ERA in the majors is disgusting. Pitching is the key and that comes through development not big money. Sabathia will be fine and so will Burnett. I'm very glad we signed Andy P. ——-Hughes or Kennedy need to be fifth starter, send Joba back to pen—–maybe he'll find his 95 Plus heater, and crazy as it sounds——-K. Igawa would be a better left hand specialist than Marte (he has a much better curve and that is what is needed against lefties).
Sure the blame goes to the top of the heap. Cashman made some major mistakes last season the first of which was hiring Girardi! Next no disrespect to CC but Santana is still probably the better and more consistant pitcher, however it only cost money (no players) for CC, so there is an argument as to why the Santana trade never materialized. Cashman got the wrong outfielder in the Nady deal, he isn't even close to being the ballplayer that Jason Bay is. It would be intresting to know how much more it would of taken to get Bay. Nady had never been anywhere near the year he was having with Pittsburg prior to the trade and his numbers after the trade dropped off when they should of gotten better considering the 2 batting lineups. That is all in the past and it's time to move forward. All players have ups and downs during the course of a season and this Yankee squad is no different. I am sure guys like Tex and CC will get back in the groove and be the players they were expected to be given the right circumstances. I still have to say that Girardi is the mistake that needs to be rectified and soon! He simply has no feel for the game given the players he has to work with. When he makes strategical mistakes during the course of a game like he did sooooo many times last year and already this year players lose confidence in their manager and this results in uninspired efforts and poor play regardless the amount of money a player is making. Joe Torre , when the Yanks were winning, had the knack of knowing when to pull a pitcher and when to let him keep going in a different game, Joe Girardi simply does the wrong thing most of the time which results in things like 9 runs or worse in an inning. You would of thought Girardi would of learnt from last years mistakes that there are times when you should sacrifice (instead of hitting into rally killing double plays), but still refuses to play smart. But it seems SMART is not in the present Yankee vocabulary, Girardi is still here even after last year and so far this year.
Please cease with the repeated Mark Texeira tirades. For one the Red Sox thought they could get Tex for $170m, that hardly makes the Yanks $180m a king's ransom. Secondly, in the 4 ALDS games for the Angels, sure Tex collected just one RBI, but he did hit .467 with a .550 OBP compare that to Youk .220, .300, Lowell was hitless then went down injured and Drew .286, .286. Only Bay had comparable stats. You can't judge Tex in the postseason on 4 bleedin' games! As for Juan Miranda, he won't be anything more than a bench player in the bigs.

Let's see how AJax looks in at least another month at AAA. 15 SOs in 53 ABs seems a little high to me!
Typical Yankees bad luck, Brian Taylor was a legitimate number one pick overall, but he gets into a bar fight and injures his shoulder! At least that's the way I remember it!

Posada the problem?
Fun with Small Sample Sizes: Catchers' ERA
By Benjamin Kabak
This supports your theory!
Duncan strikes again for Yanks (SWB)
Earlier someone posted that Joe Torre had the Dodgers hitting all cylinders and in first place…The Dodgers are not in first place in their division because of Joe Torre…The Dodgers are in first place because their owner and GM knew that their only chance to compete was to sign Manny Ramirez. McCourt understood that their lineup scared no one…that his young hitters gained knowledge and confidence last year by having Manny in the middle of their lineup…conversely our owners knew that this lineup hit .230 with runners in scoring position in 2008, thats with Alex Rodriguez, Giambi, and Abreu in the line up. They opted to sign Mark Texiera rather than give the talented Juan Miranda the opportunity to win 1st base…for a whole lot less money…and add much needed youth to this long in the tooth line up ….The Red Sox passed on paying Texiera a kings ransome because a) They knew first hand that he is not the caliber of player as Ramirez or his counterpart Albert Pujols (who earns much less)…see Angels vs. Red Sox in last years playoffs b) They have a slick fielding, power hitting first basemen named Lars Anderson in Pawtucket who will be coming to Fenway soon..Heck, Texiera is not as clutch as Youklis, Lowell, Drew, or Bey…yet, the Yankees sign him for 10 years and $ 180 million…Yup, by seasons end, Texiera will have good but empty numbers. The Yanks had every opportunity during the off season to strengthen their lineup by signing Manny…I guarantee he would have made the other hitters around him more productive, including A-Rod and just as importantly put some fire back in the Yankees. With Manny in the lineup, Rodriguez would not have to be rushed back into action before he is ready. Rodriguez is rushing back from serious injury waaaay to soon and will not be the offensive force that he could have been if he would take the requisite time to get the right surgery, heal and rehab. This is the time for the Yanks to be playing Austin Jackson in Centerfield…he has shown that he has speed and power…Twin combos missing from Gardeners and Cabrerra's repertoire.
And lastly, I don't for a minute believe Wang is somehow injured. I can't imagine anyone is. "Weakness in his hips"?? Really? If that's not the quintessential "bad back" I don't know what is. Let's call it something that cannot ever be dis-proved as a way to get him on the DL and open up a roster spot. LOL….

I don't care for Girardi's comments on Hughes' start tho. "Just throw strikes and put us in position to win the game…" That's what CC did and your offense didn't hold up it's end of the bargain?? Joe? Hello?
As for Girardi, I was one of the proponents of his hiring. I think everyone had a level of expectation that has not been met yet. And I'm not just talking about wins and losses. I think we were ALL expecting something of a different demeanor from Torre and we're not seeing it. I CERTAINLY can arm-chair manage with the best of them and I don't like what I see.
Ok. First, don't expect Jeter to all of a sudden find fire and brimstone. He's not that type of guy. He has been molded in the Joe Torre frame and learned what he knows now from him. For that he cannot be blamed. He's the type that goes out and plays his hardest every game, I believe that and leads by example. He's NEVER been the "HEY LOOK AT ME" type and he never will be so don't waste bandwidth hoping that he does.
Second, our bull pen. You're all kvetching over it. Let me remind you that our bullpen was NOT the problem last year. In fact, we had one of the better pens in the league if you'll all remember. And many if not most of those same arms are there again. What would you EXPECT a team to do? Let's see, we went thru a whole season with a good bullpen and have appeared to find a mix that works so LET'S DUMP THEM ALL AND GO IN ANOTHER DIRECTION!???? For crying out loud! If "finding a good bullpen" were that simple every freaking team would have one with a .69 era! Let's remember WHY pitchers are in the bullpen. They were neither good enough to START and WIN at the ML level consistently or they weren't DOMINANT enough to nail down saves consistently. Girardi was "given" one of the most talent-laden teams in the history of the league lead by at least 4 or 5 future HOF'ers in Jeter, CC, ARod, Tex and Mo. Going in to this season there wasn't ONE person here who thought PITCHING was going to be a problem, certainly not starting pitching.
April's almost over. We're about to turn a new month. ARod should be back. Wang should be back. I'm a pi$$ed as the next guy at our lackluster performance given that it comes while the Red Suchs are on a hot streak. But as far as I'm concerned, you can have all the hot streaks you want in April. September is still a LONG ways off.
I can't believe there are still some Girardi lovers out there. Yes you can put most of the blame on him. These guys are simply not prepared to win ballgames and it is his job to make sure they are. Girardi looks like a lost puppy in the dugout and has looked that way all last season too. Look at what the Blue Jays have done since Gaston took over last year and with virtually no talent.
So after 7 scoreless innings, Verlander's ERA went DOWN to 6.75… YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! CC put in a decent outing, great command of his pitches tonight (70 of 99 for strikes). This team is absolutely ridiculous. The Yankees won 3 in a row heading into the Boston series (6-2 the 8 games leading up to the Boston series) and now they look PITIFUL. No fire no nothing. These guys are ridiculous. Jeter needs to start riding people, Posada needs to start barking at people. These guys need to get their heads right and they need to start playing some baseball. 20 runners LOB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That is absolutely ridiculous, and something needs to happen NOW.
If I have said it once I have said it a 1000 times, the #1 problem with this squad is the GM Brian Crashman who has not got a clue on how to assemble a baseball team. Get rid of him and his minor league cronies and then the rebuilding will begin.
Has this team "wanted it" enough the last few years? Now, I will take a lot of flack for this but I do put some of the blame on the captain. Its not that I don't think he gives enough personally, but do I think he needs to start showing some of these newcomers rings and explaining what it takes to be not only a Yankee, but a WS champion Yankee. I am not asking him to be rah-rah. But sometimes Jeter disappears in his own canned comments. In fact, I think there is far too much "we feel good about ourselves in this locker room" or "it's still early" b.s. coming from the Yankees. No ungency+no fire= inconsistent, subpar play. The hated Red Sox aren't waiting around for anyone. Nobody is scared of this team anymore. Lax leadership at the top. In short, not enough people in the organization are ********** enough! So we keep getting this crap shoveled at us. Like I said earlier, I will always be a Yankee fan. Couldn't change if I wanted to. And this is a big crap sandwich and we are all being forced to eat it…AND I DON"T LIKE IT ONE ******* BIT!!!!!
"THIS IS THE WORST YANKEE TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED!!" After 19 games 09 Yankees 9-10, 08 Yankees 9-10, 07 Yankees 8-11, 06 Yankees 10-9, 05 Yankees 8-11, 04 Yankees 8-11. Funnily enough you do have a bit of a point 2003 Yanks 16-3, 2001 Yanks 11-8, 2000 Yanks 12-7, 1999 Yanks 13-6, 1998 Yanks 14-5, 1996 Yanks 10-9 …………………………………so this Yanks team aren't that bad compared to recent incarnations, but they look far from a Championship winning side
i'm starting to think the yankme owners are on a f#cking vacation!! WHAT IS GOING OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Next homestand boo the Yanks and cheer the other team and perhaps management will hear. Could be only empty seats will get their attention especially during a national broadcast game.
The ONLY player that RESPECTS Girardi is Swisher, THATS IT!!
IF they did you would see some EMOTION BUT NOOOOOO Just sit there on the bench with a BLANK STARE on you face GIRARDI – DUMBA S S
I tried NOT to POST all night BUT WTF !!!!
L@@K at the LAME TALENT they have, Ooops sorry BUT SCREW IT THET SUCK!!
FIRE GIRARDI-HIRE RANDOLPH, VALINTINE, HOW CARES we need a shake up NOW!!
Man I really really did not try to post tonight, S H I T !!!!!
Winning attitude is what all teams need to play in October. This team has not played with that attitude since the day Joe took over as manager. Its obvious nobody respects him as a manager nor do they view him as a real Yankee. He has really turned this team in to the Cubs as far as attitude goes. Next the fans will be chanting "Lets go Cubs".
Lack of clutch hitting is killing the Yanks. Some of it is due to Girardi's lack of imagination. His non aggressive management style is no bunt, no steal, no moving the runners, no small ball=no wins. He still thinks he's a player watching from the bench. This 'stat man' has to go–put him back up in the broadcast booth to keep score and talk mercilessly about everything but the game we're watching with the other blowhard Yankee tv broadcasters.
As much as I'm peeved by the slow starts, Texeira kept going on all winter about starting quickly and that he was preparing differently…he then was mashing the ball in Spring Training…and yet when it gets to April, he's useless.
The way Cano is hitting perhaps more Yankees should do more during the offseason to get in shape. I believe that accounts for players getting off to a slow start is being out of shape. That is one reason ARod is better then most is due to his condition when he begins the year. Too much money and too little work for some players.
At the start of the season we didn't have room for Giambi and Abreu, now yeah the'd be good bench players to have but at the start we had Nady, Swisher, Matsui, Cabrera, Gardner with no viable trade options. There's only so much space on the roster. You must appreciate that Pena is around for his ability to play the whole infield…could you imagine having to put Giambi at first, Tex 2nd and Cano at SS if Jeter went down? Or Abreu in the IF?
The Yankees playing pathetic.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
The Yankees are below .500. Cashman gave away a solid player in Bobby Abreu who gave them a .300 BA,
100 RBIs and 287 TB. He also released Jason Giambi,
who gave them power, 100 RBIs, and a slg pct .541.
He gutted the team so that recent injuries have the team looking pathetic without depth. The Yanks are playing Gartner, M. Cabrera, Molina, Pena. .250 hitters. who lack power. What is going on? You give up bonafide players for this? Cashman should have his bags packed. This is unacceptable.
— Isaac Zee
Valentine is a idiot who has a history of acting out. Willie would be a better candidate then him. How would anyone know whether Buck would return unless he is asked. After he built the Yankees they win the WS. Buck takes arizonia from scratch to the brink and they win the WS. Texas is the only team to not get turned around but nobody has been able to fix their problems.
What is this team's RISP? Do you figure they're waiting for ARod to return? Also, was Posada running into a headwind?
Buck would never come back. He is not really into the whole NY thing. Piniella is already coaching possibly a WS champ…Can we dig up Billy Martin? No? Ok, any arguments against Bobby V.?
Buck Showalter built the Yankee team that went to the playoffs in 95 before he was dumped for Torre. It seems to me he would be the best candidate to rebuild the team and get respect in the Manager's position. Change of a pitching coach is also in order as this bullpen is horrible.
I don't think it happens this year, but I do think he has been keeping the seat warm for Bobby Valentine next year. In my opinion, that is the guy we need to manage this team.
Boston win 3-1, Cleveland scored a run and got the go ahead run to the plate against Papelbon but that was it.
Girardi seemed to have a bit of an absent stare on him the few times the camera showed the dugout…maybe he senses the end
Jason Bay hit a 3-run homer in the ninth against the Indians to break a scoreless tie. Looks like the Yanks are going to have some serious catching-up to do
This game and the last few games begs the question: has this team quit on Girardi already? It sure seems like it.
Nope, usually the same lot most days. I think it's because the games not on any U.S tv stations and they're all sick of the Yanks after the sweep.
CC didn't walk anyone, yet gave up 4 runs on 6 hits. Polanco and Ordonez got the hits when it mattered. The Yanks never really looked like getting back into that one, probably why Detroit brought in Rodney who looked poor. Even without the Ordonez homer, you figure Zumaya pitches a scoreless ninth and that would be that. Other than Cano, you struggle to think of where the runs are going to come from
Candyrunts: I guess it's basically you and me tonight. Are the others only weekend commentators?
Have you ever seen a catcher run as slow as Posada? Man, he hits into a double play with two men on base and no outs. What a useless effort. Now one out and lights out! Again!
Where is everybody? Still recovering from the weekend? Gone to sleep? Given up? Talked out? How can you watch this lousy offence and not get upset?
How many long fly balls has this team hit recently? I get the feeling one day there just going to start slaughtering HR after HR. Probably back at the new stadium where I guess so will the Angels
Where are these high priced bats? They're not getting the job done and haven't all year except for Cano. The Yankees of old you could expect a rally in the late innings to win the game, but not with this bunch. Once they get down a few runs you might as well write off the game. There's no coming back! Something drastically missing here. Nothing's working. They can't even beat the lowly Tigers! It's going to be a long year. Jeter is not coming through in the clutch either. They're making Verlander look like Cy Young material after a 0-2 start. Man, this is hard to take. We must be sadists as Yankee fans to keep watching this stuff and waiting for something to happen. Nothing from the Steinbrenners, nothing from Crashman, nothing from Girardi. Old George would have been nailing their hide to the wall by now. How long is management going to let this go on until they do something? Are they waiting for the Savior, ARod, to come riding in on his white charger? Somehow, I don't think ARod is going to save this team this year. He didn't save them last year so why should we expect he's going to do it this year. We're falling farther and farther behind.
really? what about the 1990 team? Not that I was old enough to remember it but didn't someone lead the team in batting average with .285 or something and the Yanks wound up finishing last in the division?
for f#cks sake, quit taking s#it so damn literaly!!!!
This team is embarassing. In all aspects. I will root for them, I won't give up. But this team stinks really bad right now, especially pitching. Personally, I think it starts with management. It has become painfully obvious that the Girardi regime will never amount to much here in NY. It is also a very bitter pill to swallow that we will have to endure this crap all season long. It does not make any sense that players come here and fall apart. They are exceptional everywhere else but here. I think the whole thing about NY pressure is a media and fan made myth. Honestly, I kind of hope they fall all the way apart and into semi-obscurity (as much as the Yankees can). It seems that is when they are at their best. Other than that I can't think of any reason for the gross under-performance. It sickens me.
Well that was nice. CC turns a 1 run game into a 4 run game on 3 pitches. Very nicely done.
Hah, some things never change. I just read about the guy the Yanks blew their no1 draft pick on in 1991. Shocking.
really? what about the 1990 team? Not that I was old enough to remember it but didn't someone lead the team in batting average with .285 or something and the Yanks wound up finishing last in the division
This is EFFING disgusting!!!!!!!!!! It hurts to watch!! This has to be THE worst Yankee team EVERRRRRRRRRR put together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weird how Cy Young shows up to pitch against these bunch of losers EVERY game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sending Damon for tests and he is fine with that? Strange.
Verlander looks like he has good stuff today + with the anemic Yankees, 1 run could be enough for the Tigers.

Jeremy Michalek says the biggest electric vehicle subsidies are going to the wrong cars. After studying the life cycle of electrified cars -- from the first moment of raw material mining to the final day in the car's life -- Michalek and fellow researchers have concluded that hybrids with smaller batteries pollute less than pure EVs.
That, of course, flies in the face of everything we now believe. Today, cars with bigger lithium-ion batteries receive three times as much in federal subsidies than hybrids with smaller batteries. Those subsidies, however, are based on the idea that big-battery EVs pollute less, which may not necessarily be so, Michalek says.
"As the battery pack gets larger, the emissions associated with manufacturing can be quite significant," Michalek, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University, said in an interview. "You have to look at the entire supply chain. Some of the emissions come from the facility where the battery is assembled, but a portion of it is upstream. Some of it comes from the powerplants used to create the electricity that runs the equipment."
Michalek's conclusions were recently published in an article in Issues and Science and Technology, a publication of the National Academies. They were also unveiled in a separate study titled "Valuation of plug-in vehicle life-cycle air emissions and oil displacement benefits," in 2011. For both papers, Michalek teamed with researchers from Arizona State University and the Rand Corporation.
The gist of the studies' conclusions is that there's more to emissions than what comes out of the tailpipe. This is especially so when it comes to vehicles with big lithium-ion batteries. According to the studies, a battery-electric car with a 240 km (144 mile) range is responsible for between $4,000 and $5,000 worth of "social damages" over its lifetime. The figure is similar to conventional gas-burning vehicles, but higher than that of hybrids.
A plug-in hybrid with a 20 km (12 mile) all-electric range, for example, comes in at less than $4,000. In arriving at the numbers, researchers considered emissions caused by vehicle operation, as well as by electricity production, gasoline production, battery production, and vehicle production.
The bottom line of the study is that smaller battery size is important. Although the studies didn't mention any specific vehicle models, their findings indicate that a Prius PHV plug-in hybrid with a 4.4 kWh battery would emit less than a Chevy Volt with a 16 kWh battery. Similarly, a Volt would emit less than a pure electric car with a big battery.

Leave it to President Obama to cunningly distract the country from the scandals that plagued his administration for the past year with wanting to strike a sovereign country because its tyrannical leader has gassed his own people.
This would be the same man who opposed the Iraq war and former President Bush for going after another murderous tyrant who gassed thousands of Kurds. His excuse to invade Syria over the use of gas that killed 1,400 or more people is hypocritical at best.
To add insult to injury, Secretary of State John Kerry goes public with a great speech to invade another country, telling we the people that we should jump on board. This is the same man who went before Congress during the Vietnam War and charged that our military was committing atrocities in that country without providing evidence. He is the same man who was in that country for three months and put himself up for various medals and then when he returned to the U.S. turned protester against said war and had the audacity to throw his medals over the White House fence in protest. As a 100 percent disabled Marine Vietnam veteran, it's my opinion that Kerry is a disgrace and is the wrong person to tell the American people that we should get involved in another country's civil war.
As for President Obama, he has come out and placed blame on Congress and the world for making the red line. He said that he was simply relating to it as if his words had no consequences; nothing like accepting responsibility for your actions.

Thirteen years later, Nancy Mace can still be recalled as the first woman to graduate from The Citadel – an accomplishment that helped pave the way for more than 200 female graduates since then.
Mace has become a successful small businesswoman. Long interested in politics, Mace appeared at an Aiken County Republican Club luncheon on Thursday and, as expected, was asked: Does she anticipate a challenge to U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., during the primary in 2014?
That idea started surfacing in recent weeks, Mace said, and she has started receiving calls about possible support of her candidacy if it emerges.
"I recently thought about considering public office," she said. "That particular race was not on my radar."
She would have a lot of research to do before jumping into a major statewide campaign, but Mace has clear concerns about Graham unlike the state's Republican congressman
"He broke his tax pledge," she said, "saying that tax revenue should be on the budget plan. But taxes are not a way to attack the economy during these times."
In a broader view, Mace expressed frustration that too many Washington lawmakers of both parities are going behind closed doors. She's amazed what lawmakers and consultants can get away with. They have no idea what's going on away from Washington and are more focused on representing friends and special interests instead of their constituents.
"We should demand from our representatives that they need to walk the walk," Mace said. "In 2016, we need to look at ourselves and the factions within our party. We're at war with each other.'"
The message has to get out as effectively as the Democrats do it – relying on such techniques as social media, she said.
Following her address at the club meeting, Mace signed copies of her book, "In the Company of Men," based on her experiences at The Citadel. She was not the first woman to attend the college. A young woman named Shannon Faulkner was enrolled accidentally by the admissions office. A Supreme Court decision also led to admitting women to any university receiving state funding.
By all accounts, Faulkner was not prepared for the resulting anger from many graduates and others, as well as the media attention. She only managed to stay a week.
Mace seemed an unlikely person to take up the challenge. An older brother and sister had gone to West Point, but Mace dropped out of high school as a sophomore, unaware of Attention Deficit Disorder issues that had not been diagnosed.
She tried out jobs over the next two years before enrolling at Trident Tech in North Charleston. Courses she took there enabled her to get her diploma, and soon she started thinking about The Citadel. Her father had graduated from the college and had gone on to a successful military career.
Mace applied and was accepted, but finally had to tell her father. He kept his advice limited, but also said not to call him if she decided to leave.
"He told me to walk home, which was 25 miles away," Mace said to laughter from club members.
She was stunned to learn how demanding her first year at The Citadel would be, but she discovered that a sense of humor and patience were essential. Mace acknowledged she was there for what she considers selfish reasons – becoming successful and making her father proud.

Numerous people who registered for the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic may be victims of credit-card fraud, race officials said Thursday.
At least 20 people reported fraudulent activity since Sunday, said Gaige Sippy, race director for the event. Many more have come forward since news of the fraud was made public.
Race officials are unsure how widespread the problem is. They first learned of a possible problem Sunday, then received two more reports Monday and 15 reports Wednesday, Sippy said.
Race officials haven�t found any problems with their website and were working with third-party companies � including Mercury and Plug and Play � that handle credit-card processing to identify the cause of the breach.
Sippy said his own credit card had fraudulent activity, as did Ed Zink�s, co-founder of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. Some victims said the fraudulent activity occurred up to three weeks ago.
Sippy said he had �service� charges out of Florida, but other people reported charges to GameStop, Groupon, Micro Center, Lowe�s and the United States Postal Service, among others.
�It just seems random,� he said. �We still at this point do not know what the root cause is.�
The Durango Police Department is in the �infancy� of its investigation, said spokesman Lt. Ray Shupe.
It is possible breaches occurred at other businesses around town, Shupe said, but he was not immediately aware of which locations.
Investigators are working with banks to determine the scope of the problem, he said.
�We�re not sure yet what the common denominator is with all of it,� he said.
He recommended that anyone who used a credit card to register for the Iron Horse bike race should check their credit-card statements for fraudulent activity.
The citizen ride from Durango to Silverton sold out in 36 hours this year.
Sippy estimates 2,500 credit cards were used by people to register for the various cycling events to be held over Memorial Day weekend.
People who registered for any of the events are encouraged to call their credit-card companies and notify them of a possible breach and ask them to watch for suspicious activity.
A letter from Sippy acknowledging the thefts was posted Thursday on the website of the Durango Wheel Club � a local riding club � but nothing had been posted as of 5 p.m. on the Iron Horse website. Sippy did send an email to race registrants.
�All efforts are being made to identify what may have caused this to happen and get it resolved,� Sippy wrote in the email. �We apologize for the inconvenience.�

Not sure if there is any truth to this, wondering if anyone else heard anything...........found the link on Yardbarker

Clippers Planning to Cut Ties with JJ Redick?
JJ Redick is one of the NBA sharpest shooters, but his off the court misses may cost him his job with the Clips. Here's what our inside source tells us."I work in the front office at the LA Clippers. Let me just say JJ Redick prob won't be here next year. Because of the Abortion Contract that broke last year, Pro Lifers have been contacting the organization very upset and threatening to protest. There is a meeting right now about how to deal with JJ's scandal. Even more emails came out making him look like the man version of Paula Deen. It sucks to be JJ right now" said our insider. As long as Redick can shoot the lights out, he'll always find a job playing ball somewhere.-TO
I know he has been injured but damn, I really like the way he plays and those supposed emails seem ultra fishy to me............hope this is nothing more than some stupid writer.
This Always Happens! When a team has something good people put crap out there to make it seem bad. Nothing more the lies. Don't believe it
It originated with Terez Owens, enough said
Technically, trading him would be cutting ties with him.
Yeah, technically. But if Reddick has these supposed issues and its known. Why would another team want him. Wouldn't make sense for the Clippers. That Is why I believe this is all bull
Wonder what other issues it could be.
Why would pro-lifers want to protest now when the story is more than a year old?
Why would they even attempt to protest a liberal city like L.A. when a similar story broke more recently involving Paul George and they'd get MUCH more support in the more conservative midwest?
Why has no credible NBA reporter picked up on this?
Why would Donald bow to any political special-interest group? The only way you're guaranteed to lose fans over this debate is to take any one side over the other.
I call bullshit on the whole thing.
Yeah I highly doubt the validity of this. Doc Rivers would have to agree to trade Redick, who was pretty much the Clippers main target in free agency. Secondly what off court issue is there? I haven't heard of anything other than some mistress thing from last year.
Not to mention that whole abortion thing was from the beginning of his nba career. Ages ago. If this is the case, which I doubt, then wouldn't the pacers trade Paul George? He supposedly tried to Bribe a stripper to have an abortion. They aren't trading him
This is stupid. If this were true, why won't these people go to Indiana and bother Paul George and the Pacers organization.
A bunch of crap, I am iffy about his injuries. He's a great shooter, but ever since I can remember he's been injury prone. I really hope I get to see him healthy either towards the end of the season or next year, he's a good fit and he has proven that with this play at the beginning of the season.
Let them protest. There are already tons of judgmental, hypocritical christians holding up signs outside of Staples (And this is coming from a devoted Christian that attends 3-5 church events/bible studies per week) so what's it going to be to add a few more? They can have a lovely powwow out there. Can't make sports decisions based on crap like this, 70-90% of athletes are involved in something shady, should we cut everyone except like CP3, Crawford & Willie? Oh wait, cut Crawford because he had a baby in high school and he's still not married! haha go away with this stuff!
Don't buy it for a second and who cares what some nutjobs think?
I'm sure Sterling has done much worse.
I went with my son to watch them play the Knicks (Gift from his mom). We were in the nose bleeds, but it was still really appreciated. They tell the crowd to make some noise and you might get to come down courtside. My son and I go nuts and when the cheerleaders come sit close to us I tell my son to turn it up even though everyone else stopped yelling. They come up our way and next we are being escorted courtside (by the way so far my son has said this was the best day of his life, followed by the day he was recruited by his AAU coach). So we are enjoying the game sitting in the corner talking smack to some obnoxious Knick fans and heckling Carmelo and Bargnani.
During the game I notice some really hot girl sitting few rows up, one of those head turners that gets you looking more than once, and she's with two of her friends that aren't to far behind. These girls look like some high class Heidi Fleiss stuff, chilling with some old Armenian looking fella; but not giving him too much attention from what I could tell (they kept propping up in front of me between quarters).
So the game is over we win, and we are sitting courtside opposite the Clippers Bench, and these girls come stand in front and have a conversation of how they have to wait to talk to some man so they can meet him later. Who comes right after? None other than Don Sterling, in his very expensive suit and socks and sandles to top it off. These girls are all up on him and talking about where they are going after and they're setting up their crap, while I have to distract my son of the dealings that are most likely going on next to us. I have my son stand on the court and take some pics. If this is the kind of things Sterling does in public on the court (practically), I'd hate to see what this guy does behind closed doors. This JJ thing would only upset him if he was upset he didn't think of it before.
There could have been nothing really going on, but I doubt it. If it sounds like a duck!
Only other nut jobs. Senate, are you listening.
So not only can our front office not handle picketers, but they can't even hold their tongue about the situation???? They just HAD to blab to "Yardbarker"? LOL
C'mon guys if you believe this story you are just as silly as Pro Lifers.
sorry I'm not to informed on what's going on? what scandal are you guys talking about?
Compared to the House of Representatives, the Senate are actually the grown-ups!
A sad state of affairs, those affairs of state.
THIS? (note it is 7 years ago that is happened and the story is form last July):
In July 2013 MediaTakeOut.com broke the story that basketball star J.J. Redick had initiated an "abortion contract" with then girlfriend Vanessa Lopez to abort their baby.
The contract stated the couple would attempt to "maintain a social and/or dating relationship" for one year after the abortion, and if Redick reneged he would pay Lopez $25,000.
Redick and Lopez signed the abortion contract the morning of her abortion, September 13, 2007. Lopez was never to see Redick again, but she never attempted to collect the $25,000.
Paparazzi discovered the abortion contract in court documents. Neither Redick nor Lopez had anything to do with its release.
I'll never figure out why our society pays the most attention to the most obnoxious, outlandish and irrational voices in all matters of concern. Actually, that's a lie... it's because the news media is comprised of for-profit entities whose bottom lines balloon in times of conflict.
It'd be cool if we took all the crazies from both sides in every social/political/religious debate and made them fight to the death for our entertainment... that way, we get to see how much they truly "believe" in their cause, the media gets their cash-cow without turning people against each other, the sane people could have a civil debate about how best to run the country and the popcorn industry's growth would fix the economy in one fell swoop.
Instead, we elect them to lead us.
Seems to me like it's not so hard to live your life however you see fit, and keep your f*cking nose out of other people's business. Christians are not christians when they judge others as if they are god, and atheists are not atheists when they treat their own views like a religion.
Yeah buddy
We have such a good team that we're grasping for some thing to worry about. Good problem to have.
this is theeeeee dumbest thing I ever heard. If anything, it's a positive. Just shows he has at least half a brain. The only thing I'd have done differently in his shoes would be to have that contract signed prior to conception. Just keep a couple dozen copies with you on road trips and when you bring the "ladies" up to the room, they have to sign before entering the love den.
Slow news day
This topic probably shouldn't have even been made TBH. I haven't even heard of that website before.
I do remember a tweet JJ sent out like a few weeks ago saying that woman was lying, and he never had anything to do with her, I was like "WHAT???"
So how would this affect him as a clippers. Kobe ra_pe a girl and still playing in the Lakers.
You're right mate...meant to say the House of horrors, err House of Representatives.
Oh never knew about that. that is crazy. thanks for the post Ron
This is the negative aspect of the Internet. Rumors become news, character assassination becomes a way of life and, if you show any quirk that someone disagrees with, they skewer you. Hopefully, like any great athlete, JJ can rise above it all and perform at elite level.
It's a little worse actually but I still don't think it has any bearing on whether he should be a clipper:
http://m.newsbusters.org/blogs/jill-sta ... r-abortion
This Frack those hypocritical Christians. The most religious folks are often the most judgmental.
Good thing Redick is in LA not in Utah hahahaha.
BAck in the day,married James worthy got busted with a hooker in Texas
If you really are worried about this horrific crime that JJ did,look deeper and you find this "nice young lady" tried to shake down other NBA players too. So maybe JJ did something wrong,but this women is making a living out of it.
Allred said Lopez started dating O'Neal, 37, in 2004. She declined to address police reports linking her client to sexual relationships with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West in 2006 and Orlando Magic star J.J. Redick in 2007.
Allred was her attorney when she went after Shaq, then Allred dropped her as a client.
or this
http://www.tmz.com/2013/06/03/shaquille ... dismissed/
Well I doubt the signatures were forged...
interesting to see everyone quick to support anyone wearing a clipper jersey, regardless of circumstance. i'm not gonna take a stance on this one. staying away.
Total BS... Clippers are more concerned with his back, not an "abortion contract". That's why they designate things on-court and off-court issues.
Dude, he had an abortion. He didn't r*pe a girl or strike his girlfriend in the face like most athletes.
He's a wealthy young man with a bright future and people don't like to talk about it because it's a touchy subject, but that was an extremely smart thing he did, regardless of the fact that he is a Clipper and the woman is a known gold digger.
The article I linked to suggested he harangued the woman to prove she went through with it and he called her a racial derogatory term (the latter really not painting him in a good light more than the abortion thing)
Unless someone is a menace to other people, their personal life shouldn't really affect their standing on a roster. Plus this was years ago, who knows what he thinks now.
Classic Caps, I didn't think it was possible, LOL.
I'm sorry, this is the type of response i wanted to stay away from.
Isn't this all JJ's business, if he keep this off the court then live your life. I might not agree with it, but it's not my life. The truth is probably really difficult to get to in a case like this, and both parties probably have their faults. This isn't like smoking crack and expect that player to come out and play at a high level. It sounds like if this is real and she signed the contract then she was down with it at some point. This is between them, and should be kept between them.
We have dealt with Sterling for decades, so as long as JJ produces on the basketball court he will be one step ahead.
Let's vote,I say lock this thread and let's move onto the playoffs.
Ok, besides the fact that this thread might have been the worst I've ever seen on CTB...
"Armenian looking fella" ...? Really?
I am not even going to get to the other responses regarding abortion. GUYS LETS STICK TO BASKETBALL AND LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE OUT.
Agreed. My face was:
...throughout this entire thread.

This is the last of my "Postcards from Australia" posts for a while, although there are a couple of other souvenirs I will be featuring in the coming weeks. This card was sent by William Joseph Henry BATEMAN (of Port Melbourne, Victoria) to his sister (Dorothy) May BATEMAN in Sussex, England.
The picture is not particularly appealing to me, but it is a good example of cramming in almost every Australian stereotype you can imagine into one image, and it has the added novelty of a metal kangaroo attached to the front (if you look at the back you can see where the fastenings are).
The gold print didn't scan very well, so you can't read the writing on the leaf in the top-left corner, but it says:
"Good Cheer!" It comes from the Sunny South,
And is wafted far over the sea;
And it tells you that, under the Southern Cross,
Someone is thinking of thee.
As with some of the previous "Postcards from Australia" the message on the back is probably more interesting than the picture on front.
The message is dated the 7th May, but no year is given. The message is a little hard to read, and is short on punctuation, but it is basically wishing May a happy birthday and hoping everyone is well.
Just a few lines hoping you are quite well as I am pleased to say we are all pretty well over here at present and to Wish you many happy returns of the day. I am sorry we are a bit late but better late than never I hope you are still getting on nicely at your place. I suppose it will not have you much longer I hope Mum & Dad are both doing well and are in the best of health Annie myself and Children are all pretty well and are still jogging along I suppose you are having some nice weather now. I also hope the intended is in the best of health I suppose mother received Annies letter last week, so Good Bye, Love to all at home "Will"
There are a couple of dating clues in the message, if you know where to look. "Will" supposes her place "will not have you much longer" and enquires about the health of her intended. I assume this means that the message was written not long before May was due to be married, and would probably be leaving her place (where she worked) and moving in with her husband.
(Dorothy) May BATEMAN (my great-grandmother) married Henry John TROWER (my great-grandfather) on the 5th August 1911 at Christ Church, Sayers Common, Sussex, so that probably means that this card was sent earlier that year.

Garden gnomes were first inspired by European folklore in the middle of the nineteenth century. That first batch looked quite a bit different from the contemporary gnomes pictured here. These were inspired by you and your friends all decked out in the stands at the Texas Rangers game last year! If you look closely, you will be able to identify which one is you and then assign your buddies accordingly. Decked out in team-colored body and face paint and spelling out "Rangers" together, they are a detailed replica of you and your crew cheering in the stands. There were a few edits done to remove the more offensive behaviors you "gentlemen" exhibited to reduce your (and your family's) embarrassment. You're welcome!

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting and Removing Annuals When planting annuals, begin by preparing the soil. Rototill rotted compost, soil conditioner, pulverized bark, or even builders sand into the existing soil and rake it smooth. Annuals grow quickly, so space them as recommended on plant tags. Remove plants from their containers or packs gently, being sure to keep as much soil as you can around the root ball. If the rootball is tight, loosen it a bit by gently separating white, matted roots with your fingers or a pocket knife. Plant at the same depth they were in the containers. Gently fill in around the plants, providing support but not cutting off air to the roots. Water the plants well.
Through the season, be sure to fertilize for optimal performance. Take special care to cut back or completely remove any diseased plants, as soon as you see there is a problem. At the end of the season, be sure to remove all plants and their root balls. Rake the bed well to prepare it for the next season's planting. How-to : Pinching and Thinning Perennials Once you plant a perennial, it does not mean that you will enjoy years of maintenance-free gardening. Perennials need to be cared for just like any other plant. One thing that distinguishes perennials is that they tend to be active growers that have to be thinned out occasionally or they will loose vigor.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference. How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible,
eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps.
Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the
elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and
destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk
and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can
be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first! Fungi : Powdery Mildew Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Leaf Miners Leaf Miner is actually a term that applies to various larvae (of moths, beetles, and flies) that tunnel between upper and lower leaf surfaces, leaving a distinctive, squiggly pattern. A female adult can lay several hundred eggs inside the leaf which hatch and give rise to miners. Leaf miners attack ornamentals and vegetables.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and scout individual plants for tell-tale squiggles. Pick and destroy these leaves and take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps. Know the Growing Degree Days (GDD)* for your area to target insecticide sprays when most beneficial for controlling the specific leaf miner. Seek a professional recommendation and follow all label procedures to a tee. *GDD numbers should be available from your local Cooperative Extension office. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control. Fungi : Downy Mildew Downy Mildew, a fluffy white fungal growth that develops on the underside
of leaves, is most common during cool, humid conditions. Foliage often discolors
and is stunted.
Prevention and Control: Use disease free plants and space far enough
apart so that air circulation is good. Remove and discard infected leaves or even
entire plants. Use a recommended fungicide and always follow the directions on the label.
You will often
hear loam referred to as a sandy loam (having more sand, yet still plenty of
organic matter) or a clay loam (heavier on the clay, yet workable with good
drainage.) The addition of organic matter to either sand or clay will result
in a loamy soil. Still not sure if your soil is a sand, clay, or loam? Try
this simple test. Squeeze a handfull of slightly moist, not wet, soil in your
hand. If it forms a tight ball and does not fall apart when gently tapped
with a finger, your soil is more than likely clay. If soil does not form a
ball or crumbles before it is tapped, it is sand to very sandy loam. If soil forms a
ball, then crumbles readily when lightly tapped, it's a loam. Several quick, light
taps could mean a clay loam. Glossary : Drought Tolerant Very few plants, except for those naturally found in desert situations, can tolerate arid soils, but there are plants that seem to be more drought tolerant than others. Plants that are drought tolerant still require moisture, so don't think that they can go for extended period without any water. Drought tolerant plants are often deep rooted, have waxy or thick leaves that conserve water, or leaf structures that close to minimize transpiration. All plants in droughty situations benefit from an occasional deep watering and a 2-3 inch thick layer of mulch. Drought tolerant plants are the backbone of xeriphytic landscaping. Glossary : Fertilize Fertilize just before new growth begins with a complete fertilizer.

Happy New Year!
Thank you for sticking with me throughout my year-long challenge! If you'd like to see all of the recipes from 2008 in order, here they are.
If you'd like the Table of Contents for the entire site (there are over 600 recipes), here you go.
This is the 1st "Frequently Asked Question" post I've written. I've also written Part 2 and a Troubleshooting post.
How do I print out recipes?
At the bottom of each recipe there is a small "print recipe" button. Click on that, then choose your desired font size. You can decide to omit all of the pictures.
What happened to all the food?
We ate it, and shared with friends and family. We now have a very nicely stocked freezer.
What's up with the gluten free?
My youngest daughter has Celiac, and we have decided as a family to all eat gluten free while at home. If you are gluten free, please check all food labels yourself. Food manufacturers change ingredients often, and without warning. If you do not need to worry about gluten, ignore my notes and use the food brands you are comfortable with. You can read more about our gluten free story, here.
Do you travel with your slow cooker?
Yes. Bringing along a slow cooker when traveling ensures that your food is allergen-free and also saves a ton of money.
Did you save money this year?
No. We spent a lot on groceries this year because of the nature of the challenge. I cooked much more food than our family needed, and tried fancier ingredients/spices than I would have in a normal year. I figured this would happen and budgeted accordingly. Most people save a bunch of money by using the slow cooker, though. Here's an article on how to save money by using the slow cooker.
How much weight did you gain this year?
8 pounds. Thank you for asking.
Was your family annoyed at you?
No, not at all. My family is and always has been incredibly supportive of all my endeavors. This really turned into a family project. My kids, husband, parents, brother, grandparents, father-in-law, and friends have all given recipes or recipe ideas. They've also enjoyed eating the food!
How did you get on the Rachael Ray Show?
I emailed the show.
Why are the comments moderated? Did you get a nasty commenter?
Sort of. A reader got me on a bad day and I didn't like what he wrote (he said that my food looked like slimy green poop and that I should take a photography class). He was right---the photo was horrid, but it still hurt my feelings. I've had the moderation on since, and I'm happy with it because I need to actually read (more carefully than before) comments and respond to questions.
Do you have any resolutions for 2009?
Yes. I'd like to stop biting my nails, complete Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, get the side yard rocks moved to where they should go (or get Adam to do it), start and maintain a blog for Totally Together: Shortcuts to an Organized Life, begin a garden gnome collection, and not stress out so much.
I'm worried about the not stressing so much.
How do you come up with your recipes?
I have the best readers in the world, and they send me new recipes every day. I've got a ton bookmarked that I haven't been able to test out yet. I also read a bunch of food blogs through BlogHer and watch Food TV. I also make stuff up. Sometimes it doesn't work.
I need to cook something for a group of people and it needs to be super-easy.
Taco Soup. It's always a hit.
Will you keep the site up?
Yes. It will live on in cyberspace, and I'll update about once a week indefinitely.
What kind of slow cooker do you use?
updated 11/12: I now use the Ninja Cooking System full-time. Here is a write-up about the Ninja, and here are the other slow cookers I recommend.
Are you going to still use your slow cooker(s) a lot?
Yes. I will continue to use my slow cookers probably daily (maybe almost daily), because that's the only way I really know how to cook! My kids are looking forward to me making some of their favorites again (especially brown sugar chicken, fish chowder, and 5-layer brownies), and I have a bunch of other recipes saved I'm dying to test out.
I also woke up to this last week, and am desperate to crank it up:
The Crock-Pot Trio. Thank you, Santa!
Will there be a book?
Yes. Make it Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking will contain over 300 tried-and-true gluten free slow cooker recipes, and will be published by Hyperion. It will hit bookstores everywhere on October 13, 2009.
But that's not my question!
Email me. contact AT stephanieodea DOT com
Thank you. Thank you for helping me to make 2008 one of the best years of my life. I could not have persevered without the daily hand-holding from all of you. My eyes well with tears when I go through and read the heartfelt comments you've left----you are all truly amazing.
Thank you so much. Happy New Year. 2009 is going to rock. I promise.

In theory it ought to be quite easy to find the maiden name of my 4x great-grandmother Mary, the wife of Thomas WELLER. I actually have a pretty good idea of what it is (NEWNHAM), but I just want to make sure before I explore the NEWNHAM line too far.
The reason it should be easy is because Thomas and Mary WELLER had three children (out of a total of twelve) who were born after the start of civil registration in 1837, so their birth certificates should give Mary's maiden name.
The problem comes mainly from my reluctance to part with any money for a certificate unless I am certain it is the right one and making sure I get the best value for money. In this case that would mean getting the certificate for my 3x great-grandmother Mary Ann WELLER, because although I have no particular need to know her exact date of birth, if I am going to pay for a certificate it might as well be for a direct ancestor and not one of their siblings.
I have baptism dates for all three of the children concerned and know from the census where they were living and where they were baptised (Twineham, Sussex) so again in theory it should be a simple matter of checking the GRO Indexes and ordering the certificate.
Of course it is not that simple, no birth registration seems to exist for a Mary Ann WELLER, there is a Mary WELLER but not where I would expect it (Cuckfield Registration District) but in a neighbouring registration district. Close, but not close enough for me to risk my hard-earned £9.25 on.
So my next choice would be George Henry WELLER, the first and second name should be enough to make sure I get the correct certificate, more so than his brother Andrew. FreeBMD was a little uncertain about the page number, so I checked the image, several images in fact (on Ancestry, Findmypast and TheGenealogist) but I can't make it out either.
Fortunately George's brother Andrew WELLER turns out to be my saviour, the volume and page number are readable and the date and place match up. If truth be known I am not really interested in Andrew (apologies if he is your ancestor) but his certificate is the only one that I can safely order. The irony is that I already know his date of birth from the baptism register so I don't even need to know that part of information.
