Time to warm up your mech-piloting skills as Hawken beta dates announced
Adhesive Games first title, a rather ambitious-looking mech-combat multiplayer title called Hawken will be launching a closed beta test rather soon.
Hawken is the most promising-looking mech game in quite a while blending visceral and punishing mech combat with lightning-fast FPS sensibilities leaving behind the old rather lumbering image of mech combat in a smoldering pile of wreckage on the ground.
Creative director on the game and co-founder of Adhesive Games, Khang Le said, "The team has worked tirelessly to launch closed beta. Thanks to the awesome community, we learned a great deal from the Alpha 2 feedback. We're super excited about opening the gate and having a larger fan base playing Hawken for the very first time! I can't wait to see how the general audience receives the game and all the crazy tactics they come up to dominate on the Hawken battlefield."
Hawken launches its initial closed beta over the weekend of October the 26th to the 29th. Mech fans can register for their first taste of Hawken at the game's official website.

A sizeable portion of famed astronomer Sir John Herschel's library has turned up in Toronto! Thanks to the dedicated sleuthing of RASC historian Peter Broughton, hundreds of volumes from William Herschels' son's Collingwood library have been identified in the University of Toronto library system. Many of the volumes contain Sir John's own annotations.
Whenever I host public viewing sessions with my telescope under a dark sky, the subject of horoscopes and astrology always comes up. For some reason most of the general public get astronomy and astrology mixed up. But I play along and ask "what was your sign"? As the person is about to give their answer, facial expressions are priceless as they blurted out, "what do you mean what WAS my sign".
The 2013 RASC General Assembly in Thunder Bay is now concluded. An excellent time was had by all of the attendees who joined the members of the Thunder Bay Centre to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their founding as a Centre of the Society.
Summer is the time of year to enjoy the great outdoors whether it's camping, fishing or gazing at the starry sky on a clear night. Sitting outside in the dark and looking up has been the past time of humans for thousands of years. No matter if you are eight or eighty; something magical occurs when we simply stare at those tiny points of lights high above our heads. At times our eyes follow a slow moving satellite as it traverses the night sky until we lose it in the earth's shadow.
Dear Colleagues,I'm very happy to inform you that the Transit of Venus event we organized at Varsity Stadium last year won two awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). The news item is here:
This July, the University of Alberta's Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology (ISSET) is please to offer week-long Space Academy Camps for space enthusiast in grades 3-9.
ISSET's innovative high-tech programs provide opportunities for students to explore space science concepts through activities in hands-on exploration, discovery, and critical thinking right alongside our experts from the U of A's Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology.
Check out this story by Journal Associate Editor Nicole Martinello for Global News on David Levy's recent speaking tour of Southern Ontario Centres:
At this time of year, the first star to appear in the darkening dusk skies is Arcturus. With a magnitude value of -0.11 Arcturus is listed as the fourth brightest star in the entire sky behind Sirius, Canopus and Rigel Kentaurus. It is also designated as the Alpha star in the constellation Bootes the Herdsman. A technique to locate this K2 sun is to find the handle of the Big Dipper and simply follow the arc to Arcturus. At the beginning of the month, it crosses the meridian at 10:30 local time.
Toronto, Canada (May 17, 2013) – Join members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) when they host a rare lecture tour by famous Canadian astronomer and comet-discover, David H. Levy.

Ducks make trades for defensemen James Wisniewski, Simon Despres in deadline flurry
March 2nd, 2015, 11:30 am by ERIC STEPHENSGLENDALE, Ariz. - The pressure was on the Ducks general manager Bob Murray as other Stanley Cup contenders around them made their postseason preparations by adding to their defense while a fan base clamored for him to do the same.

It started off as a science project, but now it's helped to improve our community.
More than $1,200 is going to a local charity, thanks to the students at Our Lady of Mercy High School. The girls helped to raise some of the money by holding an electronics recycling event.
They came up with the idea after searching for a science project, which involved the Earth. So they decided to start an electronics recycling event.
Lindsey McAdoo and Krista Barbeau said, "It's actually a really big issue that people don't know about. Some think they could just throw away their old computer and things, but actually it really harms the environment and puts really bad things into our ground water because you could be hurting yourself or your children and you just don't know it."
The students have not selected which charity the money will go to. They say there were able to collect some pretty big items like TVs to help clean up the environment.

Judging Process
The Goal:
To make the public vote important in the overall process but to balance that process with a variety of judges with strong backgrounds and experience in the wine industry and social media.
The Process:
- Submissions are open to the public so people can suggest their favorite blog.
- At the close of the nomination period, organizers go through the blogs and make sure there were no dead links and that the nominated blogs have the requisite qualification (regular posts, 1 year of history, etc.). We also ask judges to double check when they made their selections as well.
- Organizers then present the judges with the comprehensive lists in each category and ask that they select their top 5 favorites in each of their assigned categories. The intent here is to curate the long long list using the judges. The judges rank the blogs from 1 to 5 and submit them their list back to the organizers. There are 3-4 judges per category. The votes are tallied with 1 getting 10 "points", 2 getting 8 "points", 3 getting 7 "points", etc. If there are any ties after the judges rank the blogs they would both be included for the public vote.
- The public is presented with the "Finalists" and get to vote. Judges also vote on the finalists at this point (because the finalist list may not be the same list or order that they had for their submission).
- The public vote is tallied and each of the finalists is ranked from 1 to 5. The public vote is weighted 50% and the judges final vote is also 50%. So "Column 1″ is the judges ranking 1 – 5, Column 2 is public ranking of the same blogs 1-5. Same point system is used. If there is a tie, the public vote (i.e. whomever the public voted #1) determines the winner.
Important Note: Any judge that has a blog and is nominated will not be included in the judging of the category in which they are nominated.

NRO EDITORS:: The Iraq War, Ten Years Later – NRO
By MB Snow at March 24, 2013 | 12:41 am | Print
By The Editors –
Ten years ago this week, the United States launched the Iraq War. A decade later, thanks to the mismanagement of the Bush administration, the indifference of the Obama administration, and the inherent difficulties of Iraqi society, it is clear that we expended great blood and treasure for an unsatisfactory outcome.
Saddam Hussein and his regime of torture and mass murder are gone. He started a war by invading a neighbor and sought dominion over the global oil supply. He was an ongoing threat to the region and in flagrant violation of his international commitments. If he no longer had weapons of mass destruction, it wasn't for lack of trying. He was undermining the strictures that kept him from restarting his weapons programs. Even the harshest critics of the war are loath to admit that their alternative would have left Saddam atop Iraq.
The war was popular at the beginning, supported by the public, by Democrats in Congress, and by many of the liberal and conservative commentators who eventually turned against it.
The notion that Bush "lied" about Saddam's weapons is itself a dastardly lie. That Saddam had WMD was a matter of bipartisan and international consensus. His presumed possession of these weapons was widely considered intolerable in the context of the September 11 attacks, which taught a bitter lesson in allowing threats to fester. Bush launched the war for good reason, and in its initial phase, it was a rapid and undeniable triumph.

Dun-da-da-DUN!!! www.walmart.com/ip/Men-s-White…
Yes that's right, Wal-Mart is now carrying my "Vantage Point" t-shirts! You should already be seeing them in your local Wal-Mart (here in the US) or should be very soon. ^.^ These are a cheaper version than the ones normally put out by The Mountain, but they are still Mountain t-shirts and thus full of awesome! Look for them next to the huge jars of mayonnaise, family packs of TP, $5 DVDs, and bargain cases of baby wipes.
My other t-shirts are available here: www.goldenwolfen.com/shop/tshi…
Corporate sponsorship for teh win!
More about this:
The deal with Wal-Mart is something that the CEO/Art Director of The Mountain managed to wrangle. Artists of certain t-shirt designs that Wal-Mart was interested in were asked if they wanted to participate in the deal. I get a small percentage off the sale of each shirt, and the percentage would be even smaller for the Wal-Mart deal since it would be a bulk thing, thus we were given a choice about it. Smaller royalty cut, but the amount of t-shirts ordered by Wal-Mart plus exposure was a no brainier for me! I don't like or dislike Wal-Mart; I shop there once in awhile too. Besides, I look at this purely from a business point of view. Its amazingly good for my business, and right now I will take all the exposure I can get! More exposure will hopefully mean more licensing deals coming my way and that's what I aim for.
Sandra's "Animal Feathers" t-shirt design was picked up by Wal-Mart as well, so it isn't just me
Seriously, I work hard to get myself "out there", busting my butt to travel to shows, promote myself online, hand out flashy business cards to total strangers...anyone that might be interested (Sandra has been amazing at mentoring me in all of this). That combined with a bit of synchronicity, or just plain dumb luck, and the ball gets rolling. It has taken almost ten years to do so, but it certainly is starting to roll now!
And this isn't even the "big news" I'm still sitting on (though I have no idea which will mean more in the end, this Wal-Mart deal or the other thing I am waiting to reveal. Time will tell!)

(Updates with Hensarling spokesman comment in eighth paragraph.)
Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama told leaders of a congressional supercommittee on debt reduction that he opposes efforts to get around automatic cuts required if the group can't reach an agreement, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Obama spoke today with the committee's co-chairmen -- Washington Democratic Senator Patty Murray and Texas Republican Representative Jeb Hensarling -- and urged them to reach an agreement before the Nov. 23 deadline. Carney briefed reporters on Air Force One as the president flew to San Diego.
The automatic cuts were "agreed to by both parties to ensure there was a meaningful enforcement mechanism to force a result from the committee," the White House said in a statement. "Congress must not shirk its responsibilities."
Legislation that Congress passed in August to raise the national debt limit charges a 12-member, bipartisan supercommittee with reaching a deal to cut $1.5 trillion from the federal deficit over 10 years. The law sets a Nov. 23 deadline for the panel to reach agreement. Failure to pass a plan through Congress by the end of the year would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts in 2013.
Carney said it would be "premature" to discuss pushing back either of the deadlines.
'Balanced' Approach
A White House statement describing the conversations said Obama spoke separately by telephone with Murray and Hensarling because he "wanted to hear from the bipartisan leadership of the committee on the status of their discussions."
Obama told the lawmakers there should take a "balanced" approach that "will require tough choices by both sides, including looking at revenues and entitlements," according to the statement.
Hensarling told Obama that Republicans have made "a major concession" by agreeing to raise revenue and that Democrats haven't reciprocated with a plan to reform Medicare and Medicaid to cut health-care costs, said Hensarling spokesman David Popp in an e-mail. "Their reluctance to do so has made deliberations difficult," Popp said.
Murray's office had no comment on the call from Obama
Senate Armed Services Committee Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina are trying to head off automatic cuts to defense spending if Congress doesn't enact a deficit-cutting plan.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters Nov. 3 that he felt bound by the automatic-cut provisions. "It was part of the agreement, either we succeed or we are in the sequester," he said. "That's why we have to succeed."

Yeah, "antepenultimate" is just showing off--"second to last" will suffice. Or does it mean third to last?
I think a lot of white males still don't get it: you have no idea what it's like to be a woman or a minority. Minorities and women, however, have a pretty good idea of what it's like to be a white male.

To the Chief Executive Officer Addressed:
It is the belief of the Bureau of Banking that securities of the Maine Municipal Bond Bank should be treated differently than other bonds when applying the 10% concentration rule, Comptroller of the Currency Regulation 12 CFR 9.18(B)(9)(ii). Currently, the Maine Municipal Bond Bank is treated as the obligor when applying this rule. In fact, however, the Bond Bank facilitates the formation and marketing of bond issues for the benefit of communities which could issue bonds on their own. The Bond Bank has substantial debt service reserves and supplemental reserves to provide strength to these securities. Each municipal unit, however, is ultimately responsible for repayment of their portion of the bond issue. Therefore, it is the position of the Bureau of Banking that the individual communities for which bonds are issued be considered the obligor for purposes of applying the 10% rule.
On July 28, 1986, an opinion was rendered by Deputy Comptroller for Trust and Securities of the Comptroller of the Currency that, "the obligor is the underlying governmental unit and not the Bond Bank for purposes of 12 CFR 9.18(b)(9)(ii). This opinion applies to those Bond Bank issues where the underlying governmental units have been identified and the interest and principal payments made by the local units are considered security for bondholders pursuant to a written loan agreement between the local units and the Bond Bank."
It is also the belief of the Bureau of Banking that Maine Health and Higher Educational Facilities Authority bonds should be treated as separate obligations for purposes of applying the Regulation 12 CFR 9.18(b)(9)(ii) 10% concentration rule for common trust funds. Each bond issued by the Authority finances a separate project, usually the construction of a new hospital, a new college building, etc. The institution which benefits from issuance of the bond is responsible for debt service. Frequently these bonds are also collateralized by mortgages on the project being financed.
The Maine Health and Higher Educational Facilities Authority provides a tax exempt conduit for marketing the bonds. Neither it nor does the State of Maine guaranty repayment. Therefore, it is the position of the Bureau of Banking that the health care unit or educational facility responsible for debt service on these issues should be considered the obligor for purposes of applying the 10% rule.

A Note About The Tides:
Unlike many other Ko Lanta Villas, Lanta Pole Houses are part of a true working Thai fishing village that offers visitors the chance to stay in an unique and friendly community, that is also part of Traditional Thai village life and culture.
Therefore there is the opportunity for much interaction with the local people and animals, whom you will observe working on the boats, and in the streets, going to the mosque or temple, along with children, geckos, dogs, birds, roosters, chickens, cats and so on. If you're looking for a serene, quiet villa miles from Thai life this is not the place.

The Thai owner reserves the right to move guests to either house, but we will always try to accommodate the guests first choice. Houses are priced the same for this reason.
Our stay in Old Town was delightful! The house was just as described, clean, and fantastically serene.
I would highly recommend this beautiful spot to anyone looking to slow down and get away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more touristy parts of Koh Lanta.
My husband and I rented scooters for getting around. The locals hospitality is unmatched and you will never get tired of all of the smiles!
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency (Thai Baht) unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

Notre Dame had its 12-game winning streak snapped after playing poorly at both ends of the court its last time out. But the Fighting Irish can still match their best start under coach Mike Brey with a win at St. John's on Tuesday night.
A victory would improve No. 20 Notre Dame to 15-2, matching the 2006-07 team. Road wins, though, have been tough to come by against the Red Storm, who have won four straight and six of the last seven meetings in New York.The Irish lost their first game since Nov. 16 and missed a chance for their first 3-0 start in the Big East with Saturday's 65-58 home loss to Connecticut. They trailed by six with less than four minutes left until Eric Atkins scored six straight points to tie it at 58 with 1:13 left, but were outscored 7-0 in the final minute."I loved how we fought, and it wasn't all going great for us but we were trying to figure out how to steal it but they deserved it," Brey said. "They got a lot of the loose balls. League play, interesting things happen, you got to turn around and figure out what you can do Tuesday night in New York."Notre Dame is still shooting 50.8 percent -- good for a fifth-place tie nationally -- despite connecting on only 42.9 percent against Connecticut for its third-lowest figure of the season. Seven free-throw attempts were a season low as the Irish also matched their lowest point total.Leading scorer Jack Cooley (15.1 points per game) had 14 on 7-of-12 shooting, but Brey was disappointed he didn't receive more opportunities."We could never get Jack into anything around the bucket," Brey said. "He was battling the whole night and fighting."Brey's team allowed a season-worst 50.9 percent shooting and forced just seven turnovers."Their guards played well. They played amazing, I felt like they couldn't miss," said junior guard Jerian Grant. "Just defensively we've got to be able to stay in front of those quick guards. There's a lot of them in the Big East. We'll get better at that."Notre Dame will be matched up against one of the conference's best guards in St John's D'Angelo Harrison, who is second in the Big East at 20.6 ppg. But Harrison scored a season-low seven on 3-of-12 shooting as the Red Storm (9-7, 1-3) dropped their second in a row with a 67-51 home loss to Georgetown on Saturday.The Red Storm missed 10 of 16 from the free-throw line and also continued their 3-point shooting slump. They were 3 of 16 from long distance and are 7 of 40 (17.5 percent) over their last three contests."We're very embarrassed but we have to get back to work," said sophomore Sir'Dominic Pointer, who had 11 points, four assists and three steals. "Notre Dame is right around the corner, and we can't dwell on it. This is a bad loss for us, but we have to snap back quick."Cooley could have a difficult time inside as St. John's Chris Obekpa leads the nation in blocks with 5.1 per game. The 6-foot-9 freshman recorded six against the Hoyas, already claiming the Red Storm single-season record with 82.Harrison had 15 points and five rebounds in a 61-58 victory for St. John's over No. 20 Notre Dame on Feb. 25. Cooley finished with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting with 11 rebounds.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Pokemon Crossover Origins ch.1Once upon a time, in the land of Equestria...Two sisters were born, and they were blessed with great power. They were born in a world where creatures with incredible abilities lived alongside Earth-Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi. Although the Ponies were not as powerful, their intelligence separated them from these creatures, which were called Pokemon. The only ones with enough power to match them were these sisters, and they were accepted as the Ponies leaders and Princesses.For a short time, they lived together, but not harmoniously. The ponies found a way to capture and train these Pokemon to benefit them, but they do so without restriction, treating the Pokemon more as slaves.In time, two types of Pokemon, both of whom share similarities with the ponies, separated, and began to revolt. The Zebstrika evolution line, and the Rapidash evolution line, felt the need for justice and freedom, and they sought out their legendary guardians to their aid. Their legendaries, which were Pokemon
Pokemon Crossover Origins ch.2Many centuries pass as the Royal sisters continued to keep the peace and delicate balance between nature, Ponies, Pokemon, and the cosmos. And just as the ponies have become dependent, and symbiotic to the pokemon, the Legendaries have formed a bond with the Royal Princesses because of their shared the responsibilities of bringing out the sun and moon. No one felt as much as a bond with the Princesses than the Legendary birds. They originally bestowed on them their great powers, and they gave the sisters the honor to seek an audience with the creator of all life, both Pokemon, and Pony, in his likeness.Arceus ascended from the cosmos, and blessed the Princesses with one more gift. For, just as he has given the Pokemon their own variety of types and elements, the Ponies have their own special elements. He bestowed onto them the Elements of Harmony to aid them in their responsibilities in keeping the peace and balance. For many years, it helped the Princesses, and it sprang many legends

Hi everyone!
Will here bearing some exciting news... FightToWrite doesn't sleep.
New featured affiliates
Recently, we've joined up with other writing groups and next month, we'll be doing things together such as word wars, critique sessions, competitions, collaborative story writing... the list is endless. They'll be doing things with us too, it's nice to know that not all literature groups hate each other! Without further ado, our featured affiliates are:
With our 'selected partners', there's a lot to look forward to this coming month. Including a late night literature quiz on 30th November to celebrate NaNoWriMo successes and the beginning of Christmas (undeniably an exciting time ).
It's upon us again, that momentous task that you'll inevitably enjoy. Are you a pantser, a planner or a percolator? Personally, I'm more of a percolator.
Whatever your way of doing the National Novel Writing Month, you can be sure that we'll be supporting and encouraging you right through November with critique sessions, word wars, themes of the week and general encouragement! I'm doing 10,000 words on the Young Writers Program and you can add me as a friend by clicking here.
Good luck!
Homepage Redesign

We want to know what you want to see on the homepage and what you don't. If you want to help redesign, then please send a note to the group and we'll be more than happy to have your services! We expect to have the redesign in January.

1000 Members Goal
It's short and sweet: we're aiming for one thousand members by April 2013. Tell all your friends about how amazing we are and we'll thank you forever and always! You can also help in a bigger way by becoming a contributor, simply send a note to the group.
Finally, our hearts go out to those affected by Superstorm Sandy on the East coast of America. Here in North England, rain is a daily occurrence but we can't imagine how difficult things are for you, we hope your life returns to normality soon.
I told you changes were coming, here's some of the first. Thanks for reading this exceptionally long post.
See you soon!

We Always called it milkweed
Oooo! It's a favorite of mine. Milkweed indeed. The fluff is super silky and fun to play with this time of year. You can also use the fibers in the stem to make natural cordage/rope. We use it all the time at http://wildearth.org/
is it Dandelions ?
Tough one Matt, I was going to say it's a dandelion then as the seeds look very similar as well as it being one of my most favourite drinks "dandelion and burdock" but I assume I am wrong in this case.
BTW really looking forward to the new WP 3.8 have found out your secret btw and don't worry I won't tell anyone else will just tease them with it!
– Phillip
that was my first thought because that plant has an indelible quality that spreads itself everywhere once it starts from those seeds
milk weed?
or Samantha – I'll name her Samantha.
Wow..I don't know what it is called but its lovely! At first I thought it was angels hair..Going to see if your commenters are correct@milkweed..It appears to be glowing whatever it is doesn't look like a weed
I believe that's a milkweed seed pod =]
Cotton Guava my non-plant-knowing-just-guessing self would say.
Asclepias syriaca, aka Common Milkweed!
cocoa? XOXO – Bacon
Looks very pretty, whatever it is…reminds me of a dandelion before it turns yellow. I'm very inexperienced as far as identifying most plants is concerned. (When I was little, I thought dandelions were flowers, & used to give my mom a bouquet of them). I know they're weeds now obviously, but still think they're pretty.
it is a milkweed, i remember breaking open the pods as a child, watching the seeds blow away in the wind. Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on the leaves of milkweed plants each spring, so don't destroy these plants!
Angel's hair
I agree with milkweed – one of the more photogenic varieties I have seen.
It looks like cotton when it's 1st picked, from a TV program I saw-(I'm pretty sure it was "Places in the Heart" with Sally Field, & her character had to pick cotton to make ends meet, because if I remember correctly, I think she was being threatened with foreclosure by the bank, & her home was going to be repossessed.
It reminds me of the early stages of dandelions before they turn yellow & when children would blow on them & the little white fragments would scatter all over with the wind, although I don't think there were any little black "seeds", which btw look like apple seeds, incidentally. Very cute-looking plant.
Milkweed is an herb used for medicinal purposes, from what I understand, but I'm not sure what health benefits with which it's associated. (I've heard of "milk thistle" too before, but I don't know what it's supposed to help people with medically). Are those 2 herbs related to 1 another? (I know I'm talking about different topics here, lol)!
We say "Appooppanthadi" in Kerala, India or "Pappus", this word is derived from the Greek word Pappos.
It kind of looks like it's on a spoon.
Milkweed. They used to grow all over my neighborhood when I was a kid and we'd open them and set the seeds free.
I haven't seen milkweed since I was a kid. Thanks for the memories!
Dear Matt,
I have nominated your blog for the 'Semper Fidelis Award', for more info please visit: http://alessandrabarbierato.wordpress.com/semper-fidelis-award/. Best regards.
It's a milkweed seedpod with exposed filaments and seeds.
Its a Milkweed. The milkysap of this plant is a great remedy for the burning from the Stinging Nettle. You usually will find both plants growing near one another. This is also a plant that is dear to the Monarch Butterfly. There is a movement to plant the Milkweed as the butterflies are having some problems https://www.facebook.com/pages/Monarch-Flyway/140249462810631?ref=profile

Milk Weed
It's fabulous photo!
Reblogged this on dunjav.
I thought it was cottonwood.
I think we should name it Fluffy.
Whatever you call it, it's a fabulous photograph!
I thought it was cotton
Oh my gosh! I remember playing with that during recess in grade school!
Milkweed is the answer. Dylan Thomas would like this picture. :) The most beautiful weed ever.
good memories of childhood. milkweed.
In africa my country botswana we call it sefoka ke phefo or seboaboa. We used to play with it.into the wind and blow it, it is beautiful
Unusual title…reminds me of the title from an old tv show, "Name That Tune".
I just saw one of these today. And thought of your photo. Good to know the monarchs like them. I'll have to watch for them next summer. Milk thistle is supposed to be good for your liver, I've read.
Milkweed :)
Reblogged this on Agbólóhùn and commented:
Hahaha! I remember we used to have this plant in my house when we were growing up. Each time the pods got dried they opened up and those silky seeds wafted around in the wind. It was delightful for the kids we were back then, and later in high school when the Biology teacher explain means of dispersion, I had a unique example back at home.
What's this plant called? Any ideas?
Milkweed seed pod
It is called 'Appuppan thaadi' in Malayalam. The language is spoken in South India, in a state called Kerala. The word means grandfather's beard :D During the season, these shimmer, fly & flutter all over the place. They travel a long distance in the wind & make the place look like heaven.
I know it's milkweed, but my sister and I would call them American Fuzzy Pickles when we were younger. We even made a song about them. Haha.
Thought t'was a dead bird!
Mom always used to tell me about collecting these milkweed pods tor Mae West vests during World War II. Apparently they made great stuffing for flotation devices.
It looked like a Cocoa. Amazing!
How about Cotton
I call it the stuff that makes me sneeze!

Reblogged this on bettemae and commented:
Milkweed…there are just some things that wrap your senses and pull you back in time. I remember seeing so much more milkweed when I was a child. I remember how soft it felt on my face as I brought it across my cheeks. We were taught by and large to leave nature be where it is- largely because I think my mom didn't trust us to differentiate between what may be toxic and what was not. But this plant was one we were encouraged to handle. My mom, whose parents came from Lithuania, told us that in other countries these plants were used to spin into fabric. She likened it to cotton plants….and we would call it that always to be corrected by her.
This plant and my mother's explanations led me to begin to consider where fabric and thread and yarn all came from. Well, this and Rumpelstilkin's tale…
I remember the heat of the sun on my arms as I played with the cottony ends.ANd of course the texture of this pod would always remind me of pussywillows, a favorite combination with forsythia. Texture plays a greater part of human awareness than what people now believe in this age where so much time and money is spent on the visual and audio. These in their own ways are part of the miracle of nature to be found. These parts of nature bring us close to mysteries in life, and while not necessarily solving them. They are gifts, gifts not to take for granted.
It's a bird.. Jiji
good picture
I have not seen this in years. I remember collecting milkweed pods as a kid. They were everywhere around my home as a kid, but now I am far from home and have not even seen this since the days of my youth.
Hat dies auf realarchitektur rebloggt und kommentierte:
If we could only understand nature…. we could solve all our problems
It looks like fireworks
Yeah, I agree, that's a milkweed.
time to dream
We used to call it "Aajiche Kesh", which in Marathi means "grandma's hair".
Cute looking & very delicate.
It's very fragile.
"ดอก ฝ้าย" in thailand
[…] – turned and intentionally opened – to release the artsy looking Appooppanthadi seeds (milkweed) – well it reminded me of those who give! Reminded me of those who keep on investing in their […]
It's clearly an effeeder!!!
An efficient seed that can help one spread the best anywhere desired in our planet and out the space into others. I miss seeing the plant it comes from, though.
Thanks for showing us!
I would like to make you a request. Would you please hunt pics of a cocoa tree and its flowers and fruits and the process until it gets to be chocolate? In other words, would you act as the amazing non-wordpress effeder you are in this particular topic? I can't think of any other person who can have the appropriate situation so handy and who can reflect that amazing gift of nature in a most sentitive, beautiful way.
In fact, I need your help badly to duly present the beauty springing from the young 42+ who are just taking the baton from the feelings some bravely managed to express in the 70s. I wish that that may just not fit into your agenda.
This beautiful plant, milkweed, is critical for the survival of the Monarch butterfly! Please plant the seeds on every inch of spare meadow, and help bring these glorious butterflies back to their former numbers! They used to migrate here in South Florida, but construction, and destruction of their habitat has pushed them out. PLANT MILKWEED!
Asclepias seeds :p

I go shooting with friends once a week or every couple weeks. We take everything from 22 pistols and rifles to pump 12s and my recently aquired SKS. Due to all the hands on each weapon and generally putting hundreds of rounds through most of them I clean them after every trip. I simply run a swab through the barrel until it is shiny inside again and I use a Qtip or similar item to wipe off areas like the bolt face and inside the chamber and breech area. I wipe the outside down with Hoppe's #9 oil as it is somewhat think and clings well preventing rust and I spritz a bit of RemOil into the works as the lighter oil tends to run leaving behind a bit of the synthetic base that makes it slick. I could not believe the difference this made on my Remington 870 in terms of making the pump action more smooth and quicker. I sprayed the RemOil on the twin guide rails the pump rides on and it now is so much smoother... It almost makes my little shottie feel higher end... I also spray some RemOil into a soft rag and wipe down the outside of my magazines. This protects the blued finish from tarnish and premature wear but also makes mag extraction that much easier... I have also taken my mags apart and run a RemOil soaked patch through the magazine body to make the path the follower takes a smooth and even slick one...
I tend to clean my guns after each time that I shoot,excluding my shotguns,I have found that cleaning them every couple of times out is plenty,pistols and rifles require a bit more attention to operate efficiently
I basically clean all my guns the same. I clean them after every shooting session no matter if I fired 10 rounds or 1000 rounds. I just do a basic field strip and use hopes in the barrel and clp everywhere else. Seems to work fine for me.
All guns prior to storage. Any gun when using dirty powder, rounds, or corrosive primers. Any .22 when getting dirty, or approximately 1000 rounds, whichever occurs first. Any centerfire after around 500 rounds. Any gun after being out in inclement weather, dropped into water, dirt, etc. I use various types of solvents, Hoppes, military cleaners, etc., whatever is needed to get the job done. Lot's of patches, to ensure full cleaning. Wire brushes, 0000 steel wool and oil where necessary. Gun oil for final wipe down. Cleanliness is next to Godliness as my Grandmother used to say.
SgtSam Take Care, God Bless, And WATCH Your Back
for .22 rimfires, when the powder visually obscures the rifling. For centerfire rifles, when i see copper while looking at the muzzle, or when there is a copper tint looking through the chamber. Most of my guns are bolt actions and i see no accuracy loss, but this usually means a cleaning about once a week for any of them. Shotgun i clean right after i shoot it, since i rarely shoot it, compared to the rifles. I run a copper brush back and forth dry to loosen things up as i watch the powder puff out the muzzle. When it is almost nothing, i continue as follows: I run a wet patch that fits pretty tight. I use Hoppes #9. The i just run a swab in the .22s. For the centerfires a run patches until one comes out dry. I have noticed a difference in the amount of copper using Varget powder in my .308 for some reason, so i have switched to it and don't see much copper there anymore, since I rarely put more than 50 shots through it before a slight copper tint appears. My .223 doesn't foul up with copper either. I use a couple drops of remoil on the bolt and a couple to wipe down the barrel on the outside and the other metal parts. The inside of all my barrels are blindingly bright with a flashlight shone in the muzzle looking in the chamber using this method...total time is usually around 5 minutes for each weapon.
I don't come to internet forums to argue, so if it seems like I'm ignoring your response, I am.
22 rimfire after every 50-100 rds, everything else after each firing. In warm weather I clean carbon steel guns after I carry them whether I fire them or not. I generally use Hopps #9, Remoil and a bore snake.
We live at the beach in Southern CA so all the guns are cleaned and oiled with every use and then used or not they are inspected and rubbed down with a lightly oiled cloth on the 1st of every month.
I clean my guns everytime I shoot them, usually upon returning to the house; at worst case the next day and I feel bad about that. The pistols get a complete tear down and clean every outing; the rifles will if using a dirty powder or corrosive ammo otherwise I may wait until the 2nd or 3rd outing for a total disassemble and clean. I use patches with Rem Oil to clean the magwell, feed ramp and bolt face until they come out clean; I run a bore snake through the barrel followed by patches with oil till they come out clean. If it's dirty ammo I use a bore solvent and brushes to clean the barrel first and then a bore snake followed by patches and oil till clean. Once I've cleaned the inside I put a Remington Moisturegaurd Plug in the bore and wipe down the outside with a Hoppes silicon cleaning cloth to remove all fingerprints and oils before slipping on a silicon gun sock and putting them in the safe.
I practise every three weeks, rotating through my long and short arms and 2-3 times a month with my shotgun at the skeet range. After thoroughly cleaning the weapons with Hoppe's products, I use bacon grease to lubricate the firearms for the next time. This keeps the rust monsters away and leaves them smelling fresh and inviting. It also helps me to keep my eye on the sights better. eldarbeast

Very well put....That about sums it up..There is a lot to like about that. What I like the most is that someone who is in danger, or being persued by a stalker of an ex husband/boyfriend/girl friend/<whatever> can buy a carry gun and have some protection immediately. They don't get reciprocity, but they don't need it. They are looking for something better than a useless restraining order for near term survival.
There are no long term benefits of training that are better for someone in immediate danger for loss of life than having access to a gun if they need it. Long term benefits require long term survival.
Last year, or maybe the year before, there was a 911 tape by a lady hiding in a closet waiting terrified with a borrowed gun in her hand while an ex of some sort with a violent history broke into the house, broke into the bedroom, opened the closet and grabbed her. She had no escape, the sounds of him coming were plain on the tape. She shot him and survived. Someone loaned her the gun. She didn't have a day of training, she had a gun when she needed it and survived.
Folks who want reciprocity to work for them have the option to get a permit, take training, etc. I think that's just fine. But nobody should have to go through training to have the right to defend them selves. That's just wrong.
Training is optional. Survival isn't.

My Lola has HD, she too bunny hops and before and after diagnosis doesn't show any signs of pain or discomfort. If you are concerned best to get xrays and you could also start giving her joint supplements such as glucosamine and/or green lipped muscle powder. Also don't allow her to jump and sprint very fast with sudden stops. Just gentle exercise, keep her weight slim and joint supplements
if your GSD is eating and eating and eating and losing weight - please consider testing for EPI. http://www.epi4dogs.com/epiinsnapshots.htm |

Sometimes dogs are in pain and don't have any outwards signs showing it. When Barkley blew out is right ACL he yelped when it happened, but other than that showed no sign he was in pain. He had no use of his leg, but he didn't whine or yelp even when the vet did the exam him.

Actually if it is a true bunny hop, he IS in pain just masking. The bunny hop is limiting the fore and aft motion of the femur during the run because it hurts to extend. Now at a flat run the rear legs can appear to the naked eye to work very close in sequence but it is not bunny hopping when you see that full extension.

Post video.
Bunny hopping all the time? Or just sometimes? We had a GSD with "moderately severe" dysplasia. As a young dog, you really couldn't notice it other than the lack of vertical leap ability. We had bunny hopping later in life due to other neurological issues, but your dog is way too young to have issues of the same root cause. Video might help us help you... |

ultimately x-rays are the only diagnostic tool that is reliable.

California American Water Brings Environmental Expertise As Newest Powerhouse Science Center Founding Partner
The Powerhouse Science Center in Sacramento today announced that California American Water has joined the campaign to build the premier science learning center serving Northern California.
As a founding partner, California American Water joins other regional leaders and organizations in a cooperative effort to support the development of this vital new community asset, and will lend their environmental and resource expertise to the project.
Located on the scenic banks of the Sacramento River, the Powerhouse Science Center will function as a model for 21st-century experiential STEM education (science, math, technology, engineering, space) and environmental stewardship. The design will be an exemplary "green" building that serves as an environmental teaching lab.
"We have invested millions of dollars in critical infrastructure to provide high quality reliable water service to our customers in the Sacramento region," said California American Water Director of Operations Andrew Soule. "Becoming a founding partner of the Powerhouse Science Center is an investment in the education of our kids and the economic development of our community."
California American Water joins the regional effort to create a home for a high-tech, hands-on science museum for the Greater Sacramento region that will immerse children in science, technology, engineering, and math. The Powerhouse Science Center will play a key role in inspiring young people to become the future engineers and scientists that California and our nation desperately need. One of the science center's signature exhibitions, "Liquid Gold: Sustaining Our Watershed," will focus on water resources, conservation, and environmental concerns. "We are extremely pleased to welcome aboard California American Water as one of our founding partners," said Michele Wong, Interim Executive Director for the Powerhouse Science Center. "California American Water shares our goal of transforming a historic Sacramento landmark into a cutting edge educational center, featuring a museum, planetarium, restaurant, and conference center. The Powerhouse Science Center is a tremendous collaborative effort between many dedicated groups and individuals that are all playing a significant role in making this vision of a premier science education center become a reality."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
