5:14 pm
some people that do use that money at the end of the year to take care of big expenses could be very tough. >> reporter: that's why they are warning parents to plan carefully. andologist congress -- and unless congress plans to pay taxes, they will only get $500 as opposed to $1,000. >> the best thing to do is plan accordingly. >> families can also expect to lose hundreds in the amount they are able to deduct as childcare expenses. these numbers really affect families making $15,000 to $40,000 a year, exactly the people who use the tax credits the most. >> it makes a big difference for moms who are trying to decide if they are going back into the work force. >> reporter: this year it is estimated that american families will claim over $38 billion in total child credit. $37 billion of those would go away if the country is allowed to head over the fiscal cliff.
5:15 pm
i'm jessica doyle, 9news now. >> amid all this discussion about avoiding fiscal cliff, it's orientation week for the newest members of congress. there are nearly 80 new members in the house. if you think the congresswoman is glamorous when she arrived in washington, she had to walk more than a mile to her hotel, dragging her luggage. >> my train was an hour and a half late, walked out of union station to see a line of over 100 people waiting. a kind gentleman stopped me and said excuse me young lady are you lost? and i said yes, please help. >> at least she has a sense of humor about it. she is the first hindu in congress. both president obama was offering hugs and support today, as he visited one of those neighborhoods hardest hit by super storm sandy. he thanked the first time responders that accounted for nearly half of new york's casualties. >> i'm proud of you, new york.

you guys are tough, you bounce back just as america always bounces back. the same is going to be true this time out. >> new york's governor plans to request some $30 billion in federal aid to help with the rebuild. fema currently only has about $8 billion available, but they intend to ask congress for more. in the meantime closer to home, plans to rebuild the ocean city board walk should be finished right on schedule. that's despite hurricane sandy. they tell the daily times of southbury that the project only lost two days because of the storm. the rebuilding is expected to be done in april. the progress involves rebuilding board walk and 15th street. took a little walk outside today, refreshing, a little cool, but refreshing. >> it wasn't windy. >> no. >> temporary. >> yeah, i like that. >> you know i just did a graph, i love graphs as you know. >> does this involve snow? >> no, not yet. but we will be grasping snow
5:17 pm

5:20 pm
have temperatures in the upper 50s. it is easier to deep fry the turkey. >> yes, it is thursday. a great shot as we want to show you this a week ago. they are kind of cool. and simply a halo, a sun halo or a sun devil if you will. clouds reflecting the light. about 25,000 to 30,000 fight and a little light rain belt for them too. >> and actually they say that rain or snow in 24 hours, which would be tree. they often proceed the storm. and that is the reason that it was correct. they don't know why. go to our website on wusa9.com. click on the weather tab and include your name, town, location, and a little description if you want. >> and they will still say red sky in the morning. >> i never really described it, but yeah. >> yes. >> it will be a big delight in the morning as they need to ke one. all right coming up. more drama as if it is possible for the low lohans'.

5:27 pm
5:28 pm
5:29 pm
what would you do if you got an $11,000 bill from pepco, right? >> yeah, it was all too real in one case where they responded by sending out a brand new bill saying the bill was not really $11,000, it was actually $19,000. it only got worse. >> what would you do? >> reporter: the customer swears no way no how he could have possibly used the tens of thousands of dollars in pepco power. they claimed he owed them for his small bethesda shop.
5:30 pm
even before he had first turned on the lights at his new salon, his pepco meter was already racing out of control. >> i was shocked. >> reporter: just take a look at that bill. >> and the initial bill was $73 plus $4,200, totaling the $11,385. after i had protested about this number, i got another bill as you can see that then totaled $19,000. >> reporter: he says finally pepco agreed to launch an investigation. so he just went back to business. >> how do you feel about the overall length of your hair? >> and waited and waited for the results. >> the results of the investigation were an insult. i got a one sentence letter stating upon a review of your account, it has been determined the meter reading is correct and your bill is now due.
5:31 pm
my third bill was $25,000. >> reporter: when he got nowhere with pepco, he contacted a consumer protection agency, an agency familiar with our ongoing review of the facility. they suggested he contact us. to unravel the mystery of his meter, pepco required him to sign a release. >> they wanted permission for you to investigate. i said oh please. >> reporter: this time pepco's investigation found something. his meter wasn't his meter at all. for months, he had been charged for power his small shop wasn't using. >> i made one phone call to you guys, next thing i know the ball is reading, three days later i have resolution. >> reporter: so tonight when he shuts off the lights, his pepco meter should be shutting down too. >> pepco declined an on camera interview. to this day they maintained that the bill was correct for a meter, but they acknowledged
5:32 pm
that his meter was not the right meter that it was wrongly assigned, they say. they blame it on his landlord. >> who could we blame for pepco not figuring it out on their own? >> they never apologized that they didn't do anything wrong that he did nothing wrong. they say it is very expensive to test these meters and to pull them out of service and to then figure out exactly where the power is coming from. they will only do it if the customer requested it. they would have done it if he would have complained again. >> the problem is he didn't know to do that. >> well, he was complaining a lot. he thought he did it. >> there you go. >> thank you, sir. >> you bet. in tonight's consumer alert, the green gear recycling company. the bikers or the riders could be injured when the handlebar breaks. the company received two people who have received scrapes, bruises and cuts to the head requiring stitches. you'll need to contact that company directly to schedule a free repair.

5:36 pm
it has been going right. >> reporter: there were record crowds of close to $2 million. the inaugural committee opened up the entire national mall for public viewing, which they plan to do again on january 21. >> they are hoping that three things will make this year's parade a little better. first of all construction that was here then is gone and floats are going to be smaller so they will be able to turn corners easier and also because of president obama's second inauguration. that there will be fewer people around the mall. >> i hope we have good weather that definitely affects what takes place on the day of the event. >> reporter: bad weather is always the possibility, but everyone here is planning for a topnotch inauguration day. peggy fox, 9news now. >> and because of the fridged cold weather in 1985, president reagan's second swearing in ceremony was held indoors and the parade was canceled. the outside temperature at noon was just seven degrees fahrenheit. >> i was actually covering that. i remember that. all right coming up, man tries to take going up the

gaithersburg. remember this time yesterday we had temperatures in the 30s in some spots. 46 in fairfax and burke. 46 in arlington and 46 also over in college park. and so clouds, they are hanging tough. cold tonight. you'll need a jacket tonight. a strong finish to the week. and a very nice weekend. so for tonight mostly cloudy and cold. i would say a one-blanket night. everyone holds in the 30s. winds are out of the east at 5 to 10 and tomorrow morning, skies become partly cloudy. early on in the morning, clouds about 6:00 to 7:00. and by the afternoon, pretty nice day quite frankly. mostly sunny and cool. highs near 55. we are looking at very little wind. so all in all a pretty good deal. now the next three days, they are green, green, green. cool, but nice on friday. 54. but -- cool, but nice on friday. perfect for the terps.
5:51 pm
that day is looking better and better. the next seven days. monday, maybe a sprinkle early, 54. but we might take that out. storms are staying pretty far east. tuesday, upper 50s. wednesday a quiet weatr day, 55 and a quiet travel day. and then for turkey day, temperatures are near 60 under partly to mostly sunny skies. and again i like it a little colder than that, but you'll see the complaints here in the weather office. >> yes. >> but i want that jump around turkey that you usually have. >> yes. >> that will be the next thin we need them back. >> all right. >> the redskins are about to embark on the second half of the season. let's not be optimistic because we know the record in the first half was t good. it was 3-6. >> yes. >> so dave owens did a nice break down and what went wrong to hand out the mid-season grades. >> ring, ring, ring, school is in session. i'm here with 106.7 the fan. scott, you and i both flunked out of school. so i think that we are more
5:52 pm
than qualified to grade these redskins here on the mid-season report. let's talk about the offense. averaging 25 points per game and the last couple of games, only 25 points total. you give them a b, why? >> well, i think that they have done a lot of good things and i love the offense and i love the world draws and the options. and i love the passing down the field. but they just don't have enough play makers for your defense. wow, it has been ugly. what do you give them? >> f minus. f minus. what more do you need to say about this? this is how bad they would be. they are on peace to give up the most passing yards in the history of the nfl. >> wow. yeah, that's not good. that was a pretty big one. not too big because they saw jenkins. >> right. >> that's a huge loss right there. even though that i really think that i like what rob jackson has done. that's still a bad loss.
5:53 pm
they might get brandon merryweather back this week -- merriweather back this week. let's talk about the coaching. some good, some bad, what do you think? >> i will give it a c because i like what they have done on offense and i hate what they have done on defense and specialteams has been that much better. as you can see it's right in the middle of very average. the two teams have not been so special. just down right ugly. first the experiment was awful. >> yeah. >> there is not much more that you could say about that losing the games down in tampa as they have given up two blocked punts. you cannot do that to cost them a touchdown in new orleans and then on the return side, what is he doing back there? and he does not go east to west. you need to go north to west and no points from special teams this year on the kick off returns or the punt returns. i would give them a d. they were still joking in the
5:54 pm
beginning. and the road scholar right here. we'll see them. back to you. >> thank you, gentleman. still ahead tonight, the fiscal cliff may be just a concern on the people of capitol hill, but you may want to think again. and a little later on, the futures of your twinkies and hohos. the latest of that strike coming up. two local schools teaming up to work on the next big thing.

5:58 pm
that microsoft got interested and they got another team from spring brook high school in maryland to develop the mobile app. and the all-student project is really taking off. >> the classes, they are loaded in. and you can either add them on the website. >> they have that kind of fear about asking that one question that seems so straightforward. but you don't get it and you don't want to be that one student who does not get it. so everyone will have that fear and having an app like this abolishes that fear. it is really, you know, welcoming. >> it is informal. >> reporter: but investors were really welcoming them too. he may only be 17, but he has made pitches to take them on. and listen to how it went. >> we walked in wanting x dollars and came out oversubscribed with ten times that amount. so make sure that you keep your eye out for a hallway because it will be available early in the new year and they are

We all know about commitment: agreeing to be with someone for the unforeseeable future. Dedicating ourselves to the unknown, even at the risk of failure. Relationships are about being brave enough to take that plunge.
Once or twice I've been faced with a very different kind of commitment: the commitment to being just friends.
I'm not shy about discussing my fear of burning bridges and my general desire to stay friends with those I have dated. There are times, however, I have found that it's not so easy to keep things platonic. The memory is a strong muscle and it's easy for us to get tempted to relive what once was.
I once I had a very lax attitude about this, trusting that a strong friendship with a guy would be strong enough to overcome any slip up we might have. As time passed, I came to realize that while we overcame a lot, things might not always be that easy. Being casual about our friendship could end it. And that definitely wasn't worth it.
It was a battle, but not allowing myself to act anyway but completely platonic eventually did the trick. We established an unsaid boundary and, I'm happy to say, seem closer than ever.
How's that for commitment?

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
38:1 the Lord. The divine covenant name is now used again, as in the prologue, showing that the author was an Israelite. Job and the counselors use other divine epithets, like "God," and "the Almighty." Job 12:9 is the only place where Job or the counselors use "Yahweh," and some manuscripts have "God" even there. Job was evidently not an Israelite.

Lyme disease supplement
It would be nice to find a higher dosage pill for selenium, but I appreciate NOW brand having Selenium (Yeast Free) 200 mcg by NOW is available for an affordable price! I take a total of 5 per day in order to boost my immune system to tackle lyme disease & it's co-infections -- plus it could help prevent cancer or future illnesses. I have bought this product multiple times and will continue to as I feel like it is an important mineral that I don't get from my diet.
Easy to swallow, helps my immune system fight, and is affordable.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Works well with NAC for male health
Took with NAC 600mg daily for 2 months. Iranian research study showed it boosted testosterone levels in males around 20 percent, but then steadily declined after 3 months. Felt good ergogenic effects from the combination.
If I feel my throat feeling congested it seems to help with that. Thyroid? Selenium is necessary for proper thyroid function.
Be careful to watch your intake. This is a high dose and daily recommended intake is around 400mcg. If you're eating brazil nuts and/or your multi vitamin already has a high level be cautious. One a day is plenty.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Over 150 million people use Snapchat every day to Snap with family, watch Stories from friends, see events from around the world, and explore expertly-curated content from top publishers. Snapchatters watch over 10 billion videos per day, which is more than a 350% increase in the last year alone. In short, Snapchat is about great storytelling — our stories, and yours.
Ads on Snapchat come in many shapes and sizes to fit your goals, but they all have one thing in common: at Snapchat, the same team that designs our consumer products creates our advertising products, delivering incredible results for advertisers. So, what's your story?Source: Snapchat Internal Data
Snap Ads
Snap Ads offer the best in mobile video ads with the choice to add an interactive element below. Snap Ads always begin with an up to 10-second vertical, full screen video ad that appears in the context of other Snaps. You can also give Snapchatters the choice to swipe up and see more, just like they do elsewhere on Snapchat. Swiping up reveals extended content like a long form video, article, app install ad, or mobile website.

Sponsored Geofilters
Sponsored Geofilters are tiny pieces of art that always make an impression. When Snapchatters in the location(s) of your choice take a Snap, they'll be able to see your Geofilter and use it to explain where, when, and why they took the Snap. Whether your campaign covers a specific location, a major event, or every mall in America, Geofilters uniquely allow brands to take part in the hundreds of millions of Snaps sent between friends each day on Snapchat. In the US, a single National Sponsored Geofilter typically reaches 40% to 60% of daily Snapchatters.

Whether it's for a house party or wedding, a coffee shop or campus-wide event, Geofilters make it easy for Snapchatters who are there to send your message to friends.
Sponsored Lenses
Sponsored Lenses offer a completely new take on brand activation, offering not just an impression, but "play time" — the time Snapchatters spend playing with the interactive ad you've created. To activate Lenses, Snapchatters simply press and hold on their faces. Some Lenses include prompts like "raise your eyebrows" to trigger an animation, adding a fun twist to the experience. And when you're finished playing, it's easy to send Lenses to a friend or post one to your Story. On average, Snapchatters play with a Sponsored Lens for 20 seconds.

Spatial Models of Parliamentary Voting by Keith T. Poole
Book DescriptionThis book presents a simple geometric model of voting as a tool to analyze parliamentary roll call data. Each legislator is represented by one point and each roll call is represented by two points that correspond to the policy consequences of voting Yea or Nay. On every roll call each legislator votes for the closer outcome point, at least probabilistically. These points form a spatial map that summarizes the roll calls. In this sense a spatial map is much like a road map because it visually depicts the political world of a legislature. The closeness of two legislators on the map shows how similar their voting records are, and the distribution of legislators shows what the dimensions are. These maps can be used to study a wide variety of topics including how political parties evolve over time, the existence of sophisticated voting and how an executive influences legislative outcomes.

Innovation, Licensing, and Imitation: The Effects of Intellectual Property Rights Protection and Industrial Policy
This paper examines the long-run effects of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection and industrial policies on innovation and technology transfer using a North-South quality ladder model where licensing is the main mode of technology transfer to developing countries. We show that the governments of developing countries can promote innovation and technology transfer by strengthening IPR protection, which is enforced by restricting the imitation of products. Moreover, the results also imply that subsidies on the cost of license negotiation can promote innovation and technology transfer, whereas subsidies on the cost of R&D have no effect.

I had a great week-long visit to San Diego's fifth City Council district, which hugs Interstate 15, stretching from Scripps Ranch north to the San Pasqual Valley. I spent that week getting to know the issues the district faces and at the end of it, took those concerns to Mark Kersey, the lone candidate who will become that area's City Council representative later this year.
I drove more than 300 miles. I hit a lot of potholes. I met interesting, smart people who care about where they live.
I learned that folks in Rancho Bernardo are still concerned about the threat of wildfire in their neighborhood, which burned in 2007. I met a Scripps Ranch volunteer who worries about the state of broken storm drains in his neighborhood. And I spent time on a dairy farm in the rural San Pasqual Valley, where a couple of farmers wonder why the city has blocked off a road that emergency vehicles could use.

Nibbles and Neon
If the Magic Citys image is all about tits and ass, then the MiMo neighborhood scored big time when a refurbished vintage 1970s Coppertone billboard was recently posted on the side of an office building on 73rd Street. The familiar image features a doggy tugging at the bikini bottom of an adorable, topless, 32-foot, blond, suntanned preschooler. The MiMo district, which stretches from 67th to 77th streets on Biscayne Boulevard, was built in the heady postwar era when autos were king and Americans were flush with optimism. The architects came to the table thinking about rocket ships and created landmark buildings featuring sleek and elegant styling and daring angles and lines. Ramble the district, shop the boutiques, and sample the areas culinary offerings from 22 neighborhood restaurants at the Taste of MiMo from noon to 5 p.m. this Saturday. A 10:30 a.m. walking tour leaves from the Vagabond Hotel. Get more info from the MiMo Biscayne Boulevard Historic District call 305-609-4288 or visit mimoboulevard.org.

text: Hunter S. Thompson, Those Old ESPN Columns And Large Wads Of CocaineWill Leitch7/15/08 2:20pm1051EditPromoteGo to permalink Honestly, I had forgotten that Hunter S. Thompson had written for Page 2 until I watched "Gonzo," the new documentary about Mr. Duke (produced by my old pal Mark Cuban). I'm pretty embarrassed to have forgotten it; it's like I blocked it out. I suspect many of you feel the same way; those columns were pretty bad.

I woke up standing in front of the towns grocer and new restaurant I was confused, broke and a bit tipsy Where was Zap? Damn he might have gotten lost. He's supposed to be hopping out here.
I blacked out again, and ended up at the towns new center. I walked around the building. It was pretty plain and boring. Why the hell did I end up here? An old woman working there comes up to me and gives me a watering can with information. I'll figure out something to do with is. Anything free is good when you're broke.
As I'm leaving a woman out side is complaining to the local white washed black cop. She pointed at me and said "I'm new here why didn't I get anything?" he looked over to me an took a chain out of his pocket. He had a new bracelets and earrings on it. She basically cleared him out.
He came up to me after he shoo'd her away. "Did you steal that? You ain't new." He accused me. How fucking rude. "I am new here." I replied. "No you aren't. It says here that you've been with the same doctor for years here." He was examining every single word I said. "That maybe be true, I have lived here all my life but I don't go out much." After some explain to him he understood, and felt bad. He gave me a set of keys and I gave them back.
I blacked out again. This time I wasn't in my body. It was like a dream- but I know it happened before. I'm looking at Zap, he's sitting in his parents apartment His mom opens a bottle of whisky and puts it on the kitchen island for his dad. Zap walks by and takes a swig while they are turned around. His father cooking at the stove.
His mom asks him if he's seen his dads black smokes. He's holding them in his hands at his chest. He's sitting on a cough with his back towards them and facing me. He shoves them in his top, but not well enough to fully hide them. He hides the one hidden in his hand. It's still too obvious when his mom comes over. She pulls them out of his shirt and slaps him.
I wake up in my room, past out on the floor. Everything is white. The room has no color, no items or furniture This is the imagination room. Zap had the ability to change the appearance of things. He asks me what I want and I go ballistic "I want to see the colors of the clouds blood. I want to smell the clouds. I want to feel them. I want everyone's hopes and dreams to turn into butterflies." The room changes colors. It's amazing.
It stays like that for awhile and changes back. He's sitting near the room door way trying to light a cig. I crawled over to him on my hands and knees and light it for him. I sit beside him and put my head on his shoulder and my arm around his right leg. He takes a few drags. The ashes were darker than black. He considers putting the ashes on my arm but puts them in the tray anyways. "I'd let you put it on my arm if it wouldn't give me a nasty burn."
He hands me the cig to finish it up as one of his friends come in and sits across from us. she considers giving him a kiss, he wouldn't resist but she didn't. He asked me how he looks, "Raunchy."
I wake up in a new place, it was abandoned by it's recent owners. No one cares we are in possession of it now. Zap is siting at a computer going through pictures and articles.
I walk into the bathroom and a guy I know was in there. It was like a lab of some sort and I said that I would pay him to clean it up. He agreed and got to work. I went out and closed the door behind me, locking it from the outside.
I walk over to Zap "Haha I told him I'd pay him big for cleaning. I'm not." I said to him. He laughed. I was a manipulator, I manipulated everyone but Zap. He knew that. One of the workers let the guy out and he was like "Look what I found!" He set down a hand full of green leaves on the desk. One of the old worker appears and says "That's weed. It's a bit stale but it's good for chewing." I was like what the hell? No wonder they abandon this place.
I'm sitting in our new room, it has a white desk, a closet and a bed. I'm sitting on the bed and Zap and some chick is sitting under the desk. A guy busts in the room with a gun. He points and shoots me. I'm the only person he can sight. He shot me in the chest. Than in the head. The bullets didn't kill me instantly. I could survive… possibly.
He leaves the room, and doesn't come back. The girl fees and Zap crawls to me. "Oh my god. You're bleeding. Tangtang?" He holds me to his chest. I start to feel my arms go limp. His eyes are wet with tears and his make up is smearing. He kisses me. "I don't want to lose you Tangtang."
Everything is white and colorless. I see Zap wearing a white poka dot dress and a sun hat. Even the grass and sky is white. We walk around and start to see a few colors. I find my niece and she tells me that only Christians can wear colors. Zap takes off his hat. His hair used to be red. Now it's colorless. "I've been meaning to grow this out again." He says grabbing his hair. My nephew has a colorful Mohawk and teases zap. Zap holds opens his arms and says "Are you going to rush to me?" and my nephew says "You're Zippy."

This little drone is so much fun and very durable. I've flown it both inside and outside and it's a blast, especially for the price. I purchased mine on Amazon as well as the case because I hate boxes.
I ended up getting 6 more higher capacity batteries after a few weeks of flying. The battery that comes with it only lasts about 5 minutes while the higher capacity batteries last about 9-10 minutes each. It was also recommended by a friend that I grab some "Ladybird" propellers because they're a more durable than the props that came with the drone. They absolutely are and I've flown the drone into the wall a few times and into trees without any damage to them. In comparison, the original props have been scratched, dented, and bent during impacts.
If you're interested in getting into drones or radio control aircraft, pick one up! It's cheap and it's a blast.

An Homage to Strict Coding
Intent is both one of the most difficult-to-describe, yet most critical, aspects to the maintainability of good software. The more intent we can show in our code, the more quickly newer developers (and developers who haven't been inside a codebase for awhile) can gain confidence in working with an older system.
Finally, when we write strict code, we use more of the capabilities of the coding language or framework—all of the good, relied-upon stuff that's been well-tested and built into our compilers and database engines for years. Essentially, we get a lot of free quality assurance the more you apply strictness into your code.
Our Band at Praise in the Park
I posted a picture before the event started and now I've received some photos of the actual event. These are those photos :)
I play the guitar, my father plays the bass, and my sister sings in our church's worship band. We were invited by Faith Baptist Church to play some songs along side them and it was amazing. There was a great turnout and everything sounded great, the rain even held off for us! I'd definitely do it again.

Leaving Automattic, Available for Freelance
Tomorrow is my last day at Automattic.
I joined Automattic just over two and a half years ago and I've enjoyed every moment of it. Everyone I got the chance to meet and work with were humble, helpful, and brilliant people. It was an exciting time traveling to various places with my team and coworkers, spending time together and experiencing the place we were visiting. I got to work on a variety of projects and learned how my team approached solving problems which encouraged me to look at problems differently. It has been the most exciting 2.5 years of my career so far!
Thank you Automattic for an unforgettable experience.
The Future and Freelance
My passion for the web is great, specifically around building products and web services. So today I am publicly making myself available for contract work. I had freelanced a bit before I joined Automattic and I've been itching to get back into it.
I'm looking to work on web based products and services of any size, both released and unreleased, and internal or commercial web applications.
If you're interested in working with me, get in touch! If you know someone looking for a developer or you'd just like to help me out, I'd appreciate your help spreading the word!

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Topic: Seed and Plant Sources
Title: Source for Carex senta plugs in Maryland
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Dear Mr. Smarty Plants, I have discovered that Carex senta would be a great plant to replace grass that is just not working. There are numerous articles supporting this, as well as my local county extension office. I am not able to find the plugs, I have tried numerous companies without success. Any suggestion you might have for a plug supplier would be appreciated!
One reason you may be having trouble locating plugs of Carex senta is that the USDA Plant Map shows that particular Carex is found naturally only in New Mexico, Arizona and California. It is native to North America, but does not show up in our Native Plant Database. However, lo and behold, it turns out a common name for Carex senta is Baltimore sedge. Searching on that name, we found a website, Suppliers of Wetland Plants List, on which there is a list of suppliers in Maryland. We found reference to this suppliers list on the website Wetland Plants, which said it listed "some" of the wetland plants that would be found on the wetland suppliers list.
We're not sure why a plant listed on the USDA Plant List would show a plant regarded as a wetlands plant growing exclusively in the Southwest. This could be a confusion in terminology, a change in a plant name, or who knows? Since the nurseries on the list do not appear to have websites, we would suggest you call them until you find someone who supplies plugs of the Carex you are looking for. Another possibility is that your county extension office, if they are recommending this plant, might know a source for it. We did check for it in our Native Plant Suppliers list for Maryland, and got no results. However, you might try contacting them directly.
Speaking of confusion in terminology, we then looked at the Native Plant Database and found a plant, Carex stricta (upright sedge) that, according to the USDA Plants Map is found up and down the East Coast and as far west as Texas. However, the Carex stricta is considerably taller than the Carex senta, so that may not be the answer, either. And, then, there is Carex texensis (Texas sedge), which also is shown on the USDA Plants Map as growing in Maryland, and west to Texas (of course), and in California. The height of Carex texensis is between Carex stricta and Carex senta.
Conclusion: We're way mixed up and you probably are by now, too. Any one of those three sedges should qualify for Maryland, even if the USDA Plant Map doesn't agree. Hopefully, you can figure out which is the right grass and find it on one of the supplier lists.

What People Are Saying About Imlil
Recommended to everyone who visits Marrakesh
We had a great time with my friends trekking around the Atlas Mountains. The view of the mountains while we were having lunch was breathtaking. Our guide was very friendly and the pickup on time. Also a very new and confortable van. I highly recommend this tour.
Super experience, you have to do this trip.
We were with 3 persons, one mother with two daughters. We were picked up at our hotel an the driver drove us relaxed to the mountains. We stopped a view times to make a photo and we have seen how the women in a lovely place made there argan oil. After that, we met our most best guide in years who told us so much great information about the berbers and his berber family who lives here. My daugther from 22 and the guide tolked about every thing in live, becouse we we wanted to know the difference between us. It was an open and instructive conversation. The lovely lunch was in the most beautiful place to be.
An excellent day trip in the mountains with the BEST guide.
My family and I booked this day trip with a group of friends and it was the highlight of our trip. From the driver (Aziz) who picked us up, to the local guide (Rhajid) who toured with us we had a wonderful day. We ended our hike with a lunch on the roof top with breathtaking views of the Atlas mountains. I would recommend this trip to absolutely anyone. The process was seamless and the entire trip was very flexible, in fact they even accommodated for two groups (all ages from 8 up) one group whom did not wish to hike much. We would certainly book this again!
Excellent day out with a great guide - highly recommended, thank you!
Our guide Lahsone (apologies if I have not spelt this correctly) was very polite, informative and friendly. We travelled approx 1.5 hours from our hotel in Marrakech to the High Atlas Mountains. We felt safe in the vehicle and stopped at a Argan oil co-operative on the way. When we arrived at the Imjil valley we had some nice mint tea before trekking up to a village where there were fantastic views of Mount Toubkal. We continued on the trails for a couple of miles to arrive in a traditional berber mountain village, where we sat on a roof-top terrace with the most amazing mountain views. We were served with a delicious meal, a traditional salad and bread, followed by a tagine with lamb meatballs and onions and some yoghurt and fruit. We decided to skip the camel ride but this was available to us on the return journey had we wanted to do it, in a nice area by the river with views of the mountains. In summary, a nice trip, friendly guide and good value - recommended!

HorizonHobby.com Preview - Pro-Line Racing Traxxas Performance Transmission
Please click "Show More" for links, description and more information. Pro-Line Racing's Traxxas Performance Transmission: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/performance-transmission-2wd-slash-sta mpede-rustler-PRO609200 When it comes to short course trucks, the Traxxas Slash is one of the most popular 2WD trucks out there. While the Slash makes a great spec racer it can leave a few things to be desired as a hard-core race truck. The Pro-Line Racing folks have long had a soft spot for this truck, first with their ProTrac suspension kit and now with their latest release. The Pro-Line Racing has released a new, performance-orientated transmission that will not-only fit the 2WD Slash but also the 2WD electric Stampede, Electric Rustler and Bandit. We got an inside look at this new gearbox at RCX 2012 and were lucky to have gotten our hands on the actual RCX display unit. We dove into the transmission itself, compared what it offers over the stock gearbox and mounted it in a Slash of our own. Let's take a closer look at this potential gamechanger. Questions? Comments?
