Transcript of Florida Habitats
Florida Habitats Common on Hardwood trees, and a mixture of hardwoods and Cypress. Hardwood Swamp It is on floodplains that are lower than the surrounding areas. Cypress Swamp/Dome It is named for its shape. Found on floodplains, freshwater rivers, and lakes. Common on Bald Cypress or Pond Cypress, and mix of other hardwood trees. Pine Flatwoods It is the most widespread ecosystem in Florida. Soil is sandy and almost dry. It can be flooded for part of the year. It is common on Pine Flatwoods. Dry Prairie It has trees occupying less then 15 percent of the area. It is frequent to fires. Florida Scrub Many of the animals and plants that lived there are now considered endangered. This ecosystem began as islands. Common on Chapmans oak, Sand Pine, Myrtle Oak, Scrub Oak, Scrub Holly, Florida Rosemary, Lichens and Mints. Oak Scrub Common on Myrtle Oak, Dwarf Life Oak, Scrub Holly, Hog Plum, Scrub Hickory. Areas of open white sand are common there. Fire or clear cutting has removed the pine overstory. Hammocks Common on Grasses, sedges, herbs, and shrubs. Common on Red Maple, Mahogony, Gumbo Limbo, Cocoplum, Florida Elm, Oaks, Sabal Palms, and Cypress Trees. This ecosystem varies from dry, and moist seasons. It provides habitat for "air plants". Palm Hammock Common on Sabal Palms. Vines, grasses, ferns, and herbaceous plants live there too. The soil in this ecosystem is very moist, so plants like it.Full transcript

Spritz and Condish Washing for Porous Types+Thirsty Curls Everywhere!
***While this seems to be helping Porous heads in particular, Low & Med porosity types are benefitting as well ****
The idea of using a lighter condish to co-wash and then a thicker one as a rinse out came from this site I believe? In the original CG Handbook this isn't how co-washing was introduced.
For wavies & those still using shampoo it was coat your hair with 1T conditioner, use a shampoo on your scalp and rinse it all through. Then take a small amt (about 1t) and rinse that through. If you weren't using shampoo you would just use about 1T of conditioner total. Obviously you would have to adjust things as needed for your own hair. For extra cleansing you would mist your scalp and hair with some Lavender mist and be done. I wonder if a lot of us over do it with Co-washing and then using another round of conditioning on top of that? I know I did so I started using Low Poos but didn't really like the results I was getting and I really hated co-washing it totally weighed me down.
This is what I do now I call it Spritz and Condish :tongue5:
1. Mist Hair well with a water bottle
2. Use conditioner and scrunch it all in ( I prefer a really nice moisturizing one not a Suave or Vo5) let it sit for 5-10mins.
3. Get in shower rinse it all out (upside down provides more clumping) then add a small amt to ends and scrunch it through. Low Poo Scalp and scrub. If you need to detangle with a comb or brush this would be a good time to do it since your hair is really wet.
I still need to Low Poo my length, on occasion but I find as long as the conditioner has surfactants in it I'm good. My favorite surfactant being Behentrimonium Methosulfate it seems to clean better for my hair.
I've been doing this since the Summer and it continues to work great for me. I've shared this with a couple other wavies and it's worked well for them. Hopefully we'll get some input from them.
So let's hear it for the Spritz & Condish :occasion9: Who's going to try this and report their results? I know I have some Pics will post them later or I'll take some new ones since my hair is shorter now. Actually my Avie is using this method.
are you still scrubbing your scalp at all?
I will use one conditioner for everything sometimes. I think I like that better.
Oh yeah I was just about to edit my post. I scrub my scalp with some condish in Step 1 then in the shower I'll use a little bit of Low Poo on my scalp before rinsing it all upside down. Obviously if you're not an upside down rinser you don't have to do that. I just get better waves when I do everything upside down.
In my experience I need to use a very light CO wash, but plenty of it. That condish is not rich enough to moisturize my hair, no matter what the season, so I use a heavier rinse out (but only as much as needed for slip).
I have tried using the heavier condish for both, but my hair ended up too greasy and weighed down. So i guess I will just stick with what is working.
I've also done this without spritzing first all in the Shower and I don't get the same results. I get better waves doing spritz and condish and I think that has something to do with being porous and absorbing too much water normally. This keeps me from absorbing too much water, almost like an OIL Pre Poo kind of thing.
D- you have to come up with a catchier name for this technique;)
And then you have to make a YouTube video!:computer:
I used to think I didn't need a lot of moisture because I would get OC'd with CO-wash and Rinse out. Turns out I just wasn't going about it the right way!
Sounds like a neat idea, Del, I'll have to try it. But yes, I do only use one conditioner for washing AND conditioning, and it's Suave Naturals Strawberry ... conditioning enough, and I need something light or else my hair gets weighed down, so I'm happy with it.
One of the benefits (again this may be more for the porous heads) is that my drying time is cut in half! I credit that to the spritzing & adding condish as opposed to doing a full wet down washing, rinsing then adding more condish.
I tend to just use the same light conditioner for the CO wash part and for the conditioner part - if I use a heavier conditioner after the CO wash it seems to weigh me down.
What's interesting is that I recently reread the CG book. I totally adjusted the amounts to what the book said (for wavies) as I realized I was way overdoing it with the conditioner. A big difference and my hair has more body. I still low poo once a week or more if needed though, since I am a wavy not so much a curly.
I'm really glad you told me about this DEL, because I've been doing it ever since you told me about it (unless I'm washing to get rid of hard water build up). I modified it though, cause I'm a little lazy. However with the modifications, it works great for me.
I get in the shower and get my hair wet. I condition the length, or in my case, usually only the part of my hair that feels dry, which is my canopy (the most damaged). I keep the conditioner away from my scalp and roots. I then loo-poo the scalp, roots, nape of my neck, and just above my ears which are all the parts that tend to get very greasy for me. I rinse all that out, and then will add just a bit of conditioner to my whole head and rinse. So its not quite the same DEL, but it has worked to give more moisture to the parts that need it, without totally greasing up the parts that don't.
goober I forgot that I had told you about this :) Modifications are usually necessary for each individual. Do you find washing upside down makes any difference for you? I find that it is less "disturbing" to my canopy and keeps my wave pattern better by doing this.
ETA: Do you guys think my thread title is appropriate?? I can't seem to get it right...............:confused:
I LOVE Del's Spritz method. I've been doing it for about three months now (has it been that long?). My hair has only been dry once, and it was during a two-week period when I washed normally.
I spritz my hair and then apply rinse-out (usually GVP CB). Leave in for up to 30 min while doing other things. Then when I hop in the shower, I go straight to co-washing if it's a co-wash day. If not, I skip to the next step of brushing my conditioner through. I don't brush the conditioner through when I first apply due to breakage fears. I get my hair a little wet before brushing. From then on, it's normal washing.
It's really not any hassle to do this method. For me, it's no different than DTing. With this method, I don't need to DT at all. I actually save time during the washing process, because not only am I not waiting for my rinse-out to soak in a bit, but my hair doesn't absorb as much water as usual. This means not much water to squeeze out and cutting down on diffusing time. And since it doesn't have as much water to absorb, it absorbs more conditioner and stays super moisturized.
It's amazing and I'm so glad Del introduced me to it! I definitely recommend it to highly porous curlies!
THANKS curlyjenn!!! I was hoping you'd weigh in with current stats ;) msg inspired me over the Summer because my hair was taking a BEATING going to the Beach and getting wet constantly. She mentioned that she would coat her hair with condish before heading to the water. I started doing this and then just continued because it seemed to work really well. I definitely agree that it does something to prevent us porous heads from absorbing too much water and we get better conditioning.
I'm going to try this tomorrow. Since I henna'd I have taken a slide down the porosity scale but I seem to be inching back up to more porous. I'm kind of glad since I can't seem to get the hang of this more low porosity thing--everything just sitting on my hair. It's weird. Granted my daughter has low porosity but her hair is much coarser than mine and so thick it can absorb a lot of mom-didn't-get-the-right-product/amount-this time sins :lol:
So If I have this right I just spritz it in before I hop in the shower (for me since I'm up at 5:30 it would be before I make coffee cuz I am in the shower by 5:40 usually) then do the co-wash or low poo and then I'm done? I'm finding now that a leave in is better than multiple conditioning in the shower...so this may work nicely. Got my spritz bottle ready to go!
And a name--hmm
Delspritz, Delspecial, SpritzDel, Spritz de Del? Sprish de Del?
Sprish (Spritz and Condish)
Alex depending on the condish I use (too many in my PJ arsenal at the moment but I'm working on weaning) I don't always need more after rinsing. When I use the CJ Tub condish I usually don't need it. I have been using a LI consistently though. Hey you might want to try it on your daughters coarse-ish hair you never know!
Alright I'll try it tomorrow or Thurs and let you know. I found that if I use Suave to cowash I need a lot but with Healty Sexy Hair Pumpkin condish and Wen I didn't and I was using the latter 2 as both cowash and rinse-out. I only need to cowash 2x a week anyway and I rarely ever low poo. Anything that cuts down my drying time is golden plus I need a lot of detangling so maybe letting the condish sit that long could help.
I just had an epiphany but I don't want to guano so I'm off to update my thread.

Brewed this up earlier today, and it smelled identical to a black currant. Amazing! Just had a sip though, hours after making it, and there's a bizarre white coating on the sides, with what looks like oil drops suspended in the mix. It looks… sickly, so I'm dumping it, although the one gulp I did have was delicious – this would be fantastic iced. JustJames, I really hope I remembered to send you some of this.
Thank you OMGsrsly for sharing this with me!

Dear Kourtney Kardashian: Can't You Just Borrow Kim's Wigs Instead Of Dyeing Your Hair While Pregnant?
With the seemingly neverending pregnancies of Hilary Duff and Jessica Simpson, you forget that other celebrities are also with child. Unfortunately, the way in which we were reminded of Kourtney Kardashian's second child was brought on by fears for the fetus' safety. You see, Kourtney posted to her Celebuzz blog today about how for the first time in over a decade she's decided to dye her hair.
Am I the only one who remembers danger and the threat of birth defects attached to the idea of a pregnant woman coloring her hair? I know that my mother stayed away from hair coloring (much to her chagrin) while pregnant with me, but that was 23 years ago so you'd assume that modern technology has made non-dangerous hair dye. Professional opinions are split: The American Pregnancy Association and other parenting sites acknowledge that while there probably isn't a huge risk, it's better to wait until the second trimester, do highlights instead of chemicals that touch your scalp, do it in a well-ventilated area, and other caveats.
To be fair, Kourtney swore that she followed all of these rules:
I did research about doing anything to the color of my hair while pregnant and followed all of the guidelines from my doctor and took the proper precautions necessary. I highlighted my hair (which is considered the safest form of hair color while pregnant) and NOT to the root, so nothing ever touched my scalp. I also used products that did not contain any ammonia. It is also recommended to be in a well-ventilated area as well as being at least in your second trimester, and I followed both of those rules. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I take caution in all the products I use all the time, but especially when pregnant.
It's difficult to suss out the tone here. Is Kourtney on edge because she knows she'll get criticized, and she's already defending herself? Or is this a "the lady doth protest too much" situation? Regardless, Kourtney has a very easy solution to this problem: Borrow some of sister Kim's wigs for the next two months to satisfy her desire for new hair, then wait til the baby is born to actually change her hair color.
That's right—by our calculations from when she announced her pregnancy about four months ago, Kourtney's little girl should be coming into the world in a matter of weeks. She really couldn't wait that long? Anyway, the Kardashian sisters are so share-y, I don't imagine it would be a problem for Kourtney to borrow some of Kim's recent wigs she's been wearing all around LA — platinum blonde, a sleek bob, and even a fiery red one — and play around with her appearance. Unless… and this would be really fucked-up… Kourtney felt she had to dye her hair to compete with Kim's recent wig-tastic twitpics? God, I hope not.
Comments on Kourt's post were split: Some women praised her for treating herself, while one commenter pointed out that today is Autism Awareness Day and that experts have cited certain chemicals as a possible cause of autism. Then it devolved into bitchy fighting among the commenters — no joke, calling each other "bitter toad" and "fat ass" — and all hope of an enlightening conversation was lost.

Taco Bell Crime of the Week: Man Asks Underage Worker to Put His Booze in Fridge for Safekeeping!
I've never known of any Taco Bell to be a BYOB place, but maybe things work different in flyover country. Maybe things work different in Chickasa, Oklahoma, where a man gave a teenage Taco Bell worker a bottle to keep in the fridge...and the teen took it without question. HA!
A man was arrested for public intoxication and providing alcohol to a minor after he handed a bottle of alcohol to a minor at Taco Bell.
According to a report from the Chickasha Police Department, Lance Parks had asked a 19 year old Taco Bell worker for a cigarette. Parks then allegedly handed the worker a bottle and told her to put it in the freezer and save it for tomorrow. The worker, unsure what it was, gave the bottle to her boss, who told her it was alcohol. An officer later determined the contents were alcohol.

A Bridge Too Old
The Montaqua Bridge that lies between Joliet and Rockvale is no more. The 91-year-old bridge was removed last week to make way for a wider structure. Carbon County Commissioner John Grewell said the old structure was "failing" and was only designed to take 8-ton loads. Today's larger vehicles and the fear of it collapsing prompted the closure of it until further notice. Now with money coming from a TSEP grant a new and wider bridge, spanning 24 feet in width and coping with up to 20-ton weights, is expected to take its place by Dec. 19 this year. The overall cost is the project from removal to rebuilding will be $479,867.60. The contractor Anderson Construction from Great Falls sold the bridge to Howdy and Shelia Hildebrand of Joliet who spent the weekend cutting up the structure. The parts may be sent to a foundry later to be made into scrap metal.

Slaid's back with a new record
That may not be the most exciting headline ever printed for a Now Playing
column, but fans of Slaid Cleaves will find the news thrilling enough. Not only
does Cleaves hold an avid fan base in Springfield, more than five years have
elapsed since the release of Wishbones, his last recording of self-penned tunes.
Cleaves, or Slaid as he is known to family, friends and fans alike, is a Maine native who moved to Austin, Texas, in 1991 to pursue his songwriter muse and to fulfill a dream of making a living playing music. He succeeded well in both goals, known all around as a consistently good, effective and touching songwriter and performer.
In 1992 he won the prestigious Kerrville, Texas Folk Festival New Folk
songwriting competition, then proceeded to play the highly respected Austin
songwriter scene for several years. In 1997 he debuted nationally on
Rounder/Philo Records with No Angel Knows and scored Americana chart success in 2000 with Broke Down. In 2004 he gave us Wishbones and 2006 brought Unsung, a collection of songs written by other songwriters done Slaid-style. He
remained on the major independent label until his most recent release in 2009
of Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away.
This latest endeavor is a slight departure from a typical Slaid Cleaves record in both content and distribution. He recently hooked up with fellow Austin transplant and Oklahoma native Jimmy LaFave in a co-op type enterprise of fellow music people called Music Roads Records. The idea is to keep more artistic and overall career control by working the marketing and selling end of the music business as well as the writing and performing area. It seems to fit well into Slaid's way of working at an even pace and for his own ideals of improving artistically while creating a lifestyle supportive of a working artist.
If there ever was a slow-and-steady-wins-the-race approach to making it, Slaid gets the prize for his modest, workmanlike attitude toward the normally nasty world of show business. The ability to calmly continue in a forward progression becomes obvious in the design of his latest recording.
"I tried to grow a little on this one artistically and didn't want to repeat myself and bore my audience," he said. "The record is more interpersonal stories than historical dramas. I leaned on the
personal, emotional side for this recording."
By all accounts the lyric and melodic direction of Everything propels the listener toward what Cleaves called "moving people" and that's what he wanted to accomplish in making the recording "effective." He used Gurf Morlix, the roots rock producer of Cleaves' earlier records and those of Lucinda Williams and Robert Earl Keen, and kept his no-surprises, easy listening (in a good way) approach to making a nice sounding, all around, well received testimony of his music.
Cleaves stays busy on the road playing a mix of bars, festivals, theaters, house concerts and assorted other venues in a well-regulated booking system handily run by his wife, Karen. He recently went out to Colorado and now is making a Midwest run on his way to Canada. October finds him touring Ireland and England and other parts of Europe.
"That's how I make my living," he calmly replies, when I asked him about being on the road so much. "Musicians don't retire, they just keep playing. There's no retirement fund."
Springfield does hold a special place in this singing traveler's heart. A few years ago during a performance at the now-defunct Underground
City Tavern, the crowd began singing lyrics to Slaid songs and knew all the
words in a stunning show of fan loyalty and appreciation.
"I don't understand how that happened, but it was a special show in Springfield that
night," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing if they've learned the words to all the new songs yet."

I got a large cyst on my nose earlier this year that I got injected with cortisone. It erased all the redness and left a bump which I stupidly pressed down, turning the area all red again. The redness has largely faded but now I'm left with a dent that's surrounded by a mildy hypertrophic ring. The entire area has a light brown tinge that does not turn white or red or become much darker when I press on it. What is this and what are my options for fixing it? Will it continue to improve over time?
What Are my Options for Fixing a Dented and Hypertrophic Acne Scar?
Doctor Answers 1
Injecting cysts with cosmetic outcomes.
If the cyst was injected with a steroid it is important to understand the dilution of steroid that was placed. Second, the dark ring around the area (?hypertrophic) could be pigment cells that became inflamed due to the cyst and should fade over time. My advice is to leave the area alone and the "dent" should resolve. Remember that steroids can lead atrophy, and if the area does not improve, then return to the physician and consult your options.

TELEVISION; Heeere's Johnny, Not Quite Fully Formed
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: February 18, 2007
IT is a television moment almost no one has seen in more than half a century: On the evening of June 30, 1955, an eager 29-year-old comedian emerged from behind a curtain and onto a CBS stage in Hollywood, propelled by coincidence and good timing into the starring role of his first prime-time series. Just before he stepped forward to meet his audience -- each strand of his close-cropped haircut perfectly in place, his handkerchief neatly folded into his left breast pocket, his frame so thin that a round of applause could bowl him over -- the untested host paused visibly, uncertain perhaps if he was about to encounter his destiny or just another dead end in his struggling career.
With similar ambivalence an announcer delivered an introduction written by the comic himself: ''And here's the young man who has to account for this half-hour -- Johnny Carson!''
Less than a year later ''The Johnny Carson Show,'' a weekly live comedy and variety series, would be canceled, and its host would not get another crack at a national, post-dinnertime viewership for six years. Carson came to view this 39-episode series as a kind of instructive failure, an opinion he held right up until his death in January 2005.
Yet to Joanne Carson, the second of Carson's four wives, the rare films are much more: they are documents of a nascent but remarkably poised talent, as well as a memento of Carson's courtship of her in the early 1960s and a portent of how their relationship would ultimately break apart. And on Tuesday Shout Factory is releasing a DVD of 10 of the show's episodes, kinescopes of which she kept after the couple's divorce in 1972.
''This is a part of him that nobody knows about but everyone will appreciate,'' Ms. Carson, a slender, sprightly woman of 75, said over tea at her home in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles. ''The American public saw Johnny as a good and decent man, a little boy from the Midwest who never completely grew up, and I want them to know they were right.''
Carson was not as enthusiastic about his own prospects when he and his wife-to-be, then known by her maiden name, Joanne Copeland, first met in New York in 1960. In the preceding years Carson had moved from Omaha to Los Angeles, where a pair of locally broadcast series, ''Carson's Corner'' and ''Carson's Cellar,'' had earned him the attention of Hollywood's leading comedians and a writing position on ''The Red Skelton Show.'' When Skelton found himself unable to be host of his show one night in 1954 (after rehearsing with a breakaway door that failed to live up to its name), Carson was chosen to stand in.
The surprise guest shot had led to his own show, but it was short-lived. Now he was living in Manhattan, separated from his first wife, Joan, sharing custody of their three children and reduced to serving as host of an afternoon quiz show, ''Who Do You Trust?'' (originally called ''Do You Trust Your Wife?'').
At the time Miss Copeland, an actress and model who was host of her own prime-time game show, ''Video Village,'' had little interest in being introduced to the dapper young comic her father had met at Eddie Condon's jazz club. ''I said, 'He's daytime on ABC?' '' Ms. Carson recalled. '''I work for CBS. I don't associate with people on daytime TV.' ''
But she agreed to a first date (chaperoned by her father), and to many others that would traditionally end with her at Carson's Sutton Place apartment, watching his kinescopes of ''The Johnny Carson Show.'' Gradually she found herself attracted to the star of those shows and the earliest, purest expressions of his experimental, offbeat wit: a parody of ''Dragnet'' set in the age of Alexander the Great; a skit that finds Carson married to a female matador who makes him dress like a bull, longhorns and all.
''Little by little I saw them all,'' Ms. Carson said, ''and I promise you, I fell in love with him over these.''
Soon the two were inseparable. She would lend her aptitude for interior design to her future husband, who was too painfully shy even to set foot in a department store. ''I think he needed a couple of shots to get him into the elevator at Bloomingdale's,'' she said.
And each time Carson arrived in his MG sports car to pick her up for a date, she would invariably present him with some home furnishing from her own apartment. When she showed up for one rendezvous toting an ironing board, Ms. Carson said, ''he put it gingerly, precariously, in the back seat, and said, 'Why do I have the feeling you're moving in on me?' ''
In return Carson consulted with her on the most momentous decision of his career. In 1962 he sat him down at a restaurant and told her he had been asked to become the permanent host of ''Tonight.'' He had been offered the chair at least once before -- while Jack Paar was still sitting in it -- but now Paar had quit, and the job was Carson's if he wanted it.
Ms. Carson encouraged him, but he was hesitant. ''He said, 'It frightens me to take it, because I think I might lose you,' '' she recalled. ''I said: 'Are you crazy? You couldn't lose me if you tried.' ''

In addition to transporting owned dogs and cats to get spayed and neutered to help stem the tide of over-reproduction, NJAFA has also been providing ancillary supplies and services for dogs and cats through PEP for the last five years.
PEP enriches the lives of dogs and cats after they get spayed or neutered. For example, pain medication – the low cost clinics do offer pain medication but the residents of Camden have to pay extra for it. Without the funds to pay for even a spay or neuter most residents do not have extra funds for pain meds. PEP pays for the pain meds.
PEP provides for much needed shots that will prevent PARVO, a very contagious sometimes fatal disease that dogs contract and can cost up to hundreds of dollars to treat.
Money donated to PEP also pays for flea treatment, a dog house, a bag of food or any extra component that will enhance the life of an animal after they are spayed or neutered and before they are returned to the owners. For more information contact us.

Often, expressions of love border on heartfelt hyperbole.
For you, I'd (fill in the blank): Climb the highest mountain … give up everything I own … walk to the ends of the earth.
Bettye Gordon is offering something more concrete to her husband, John: a kidney.
John, who undergoes dialysis three days a week, wasn't sure he wanted to check out transplant options. Quite honestly, he didn't like the idea of someone else's organ inside his body.
But Bettye was "pushing it and pushing it," John says. "We're not a match, but if you have a live donor give a kidney on your behalf, you can get one on behalf of that person."
If he's approved for a transplant, his and Bettye's information will be put into the Paired Kidney Exchange database, "to be matched with another mismatched couple," explains Pam Silvestri, executive director of Donate Life Texas. John, for instance, would match the donor; Bettye's kidney would be a match for the recipient. Both surgeries would begin on the same day at the same time.
"It was realizing she loved me that much," says John, 69, who is retired from the optical industry. "My wife is very rational. It was the thing to do, in her mind. She argued with me and fussed with me because she felt it was the thing to do and I didn't. I've had an awakening. I'm not afraid to die, but I want to be with her as long as I can."
As of July 2, they'll be married 50 years and were together for a couple of years before that. They met in the library of their high school in Amsterdam, N.Y. John, a new student, was filling out registration papers. Bettye was with a group of friends.
"All the girls were very cute and I didn't think I had a chance," says Bettye, 69, a project manager for a marketing company. "I went over, introduced myself and tried to fix him up with all the girls." How did that go over? "It didn't go over," John says. "I know this is an old story, but I fell in love with her on that day."
He ended up joining the U.S. Army. The night he got home from boot camp, his parents asked if he'd like to go to a pizza place. Bettye, meanwhile, was on a double date. She says she never made a big deal about going anywhere in particular, but on that night, she insisted on the pizza place.
"There was John," she says. "I ran over to him and watched myself make a complete fool of myself. I threw my arms around him, hugged him and said, 'Call me sometime.' I was thinking to myself, 'Why are you doing that?'"
So what did John do?
"I called her the next day," he says. "When I left New York after seeing her, I wanted to be with her. It's that simple."
A year later, after many an exchanged letter, he proposed. Well, to be more accurate, his brother did. John had planned to surprise Bettye with a trip home. He'd called her parents, asking for her hand in marriage, and arranged for her family to go to his family's home. The plan was to show up, propose and everyone would be there.
But then President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and all military leaves were canceled. So John asked his brother to do the honors. Bettye wasn't happy with that setup, but she said yes.
"I wasn't sure of him till he did propose," she says. "I wasn't sure he felt the same way I did, so I still dated."
"I was never one to say 'I love you,'" says John, who instead wrote Bettye close to 50 love poems. "I just assumed people knew because I was there for them."
For almost half a century — a milestone also reached by his parents and grandparents — these self-proclaimed "opposites in every way" have been there for each other. They've squelched any doubts the chaplain who married them might've had.
John remembers his words: "I would rather perform a funeral ceremony than a wedding because I know how the funeral will turn out."
John didn't like that; Bettye found it a little amusing. Still, she says, "I knew what the chaplain was thinking about. This is a serious thing people are committing to. You have to make sure you're taking it seriously."
"I told Bettye when we said our vows that I'd never back out of them," John says.
On July 2, they'll celebrate those kept promises at a family dinner hosted by their two sons. They'll renew their vows, maybe even dance to their song, "Twilight Time."
Long ago, his bride stopped trying to pinpoint what made them so compatible, such an amazing match.
"The fact is," she says, "why question something? There are times you just accept it for what it is and be happy for what you have."

Airbus engineers are never satisfied, and customers of the European airframe builder should have only one response... thank goodness. Despite myriad technological and manufacturing obstacles, the European consortium of Germany, France and Spain successfully built, flew and put into production the largest commercial aircraft in the world, the A380, and the airframer currently has orders for 200 of the double-decker jetliners.
While many point to the A380's size as the achievement of which they are most proud–a maximum takeoff weight of roughly 1.2 million pounds and room for 525 passengers in typical long-haul configuration–that also means the airplane does not slip easily into the aircraft category typically covered by AIN. When the opportunity arose to send a pilot to try his hand at the sidestick of the megaliner, as well as report on a few revolutionary technological developments certain to filter down to the rest of the aviation world, including the business aviation beat we normally cover, we knew the time was right to head for Toulouse.
Airbus engineers have developed another airline first in the campaign against airport congestion with a radical new system called brake-to-vacate (BTV), designed to reduce significantly the time an aircraft spends on the runway after landing. BTV takes the guesswork out of which turnoff the aircraft will use after landing. The A380's auto-brake system exerts the pressures needed to guarantee the aircraft can safely make the turnoff with no input from the pilot, except to pull the engines into maximum reverse once the nose gear has firmly connected with the ground on rollout. Such guarantees mean air traffic controllers will be able to plan additional landings and takeoffs around A380 traffic.
Another, almost serendipitous, evolution of knowing where an aircraft will turn off evolved from reviews of the Boeing 737 overrun accident at Chicago Midway as well as the A340 accident in Toronto, both in 2005. Airbus system logic can now watch the landing trajectory and warn the pilot of an impending overrun.
In addition to the opportunity to fly the A380 around the Toulouse area, I was also briefed on a new, common-sense link among the aircraft's flight director, autopilot and TCAS that can save valuable seconds during the critical moments of a conflict resolution advisory. Traditionally, a TCAS alert prompts the flying pilot to pop off the autopilot and manually avoid traffic. Many passenger injuries and structural damage have occurred because pilots have been too zealous with their maneuvers, and Airbus engineers believe they have a better idea.
The Briefings: Brake-to-Vacate
At Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, senior vice president of safety Claude Lelaie offered half a day of briefings on new Airbus systems before demonstration in MSN 001, the first flying A380. Despite some initial airline rejection of new ideas, Lelaie said, "We've decided to take action based on lessons we've learned. Runway excursions are now the largest cause of accidents." Such mishaps evolve mostly from poor pilot judgment. Airbus engineers aim to improve cockpit decisions by providing more cues to help solve the misuse of aircraft brakes. The company believes that the new system can lessen problems such as braking too little too early in the landing and too much too late, as the runway end approaches, especially in low visibility. An added benefit could be extending brake life by as much as 25 percent and reducing turnaround times.
"Despite Airbus and airline policies, pilots still create unstable approaches," Lelaie added. "There is also no succinct method to trigger a go-around. We have designed some realistic minimum operational landing distances, including real-time computation, with the proper associated alert messages and audio callouts that would be applicable under all dry or wet runway conditions except on a contaminated runway."
Preliminary Airbus research began in 1998 as a Ph.D thesis by Fabrice Villaume, the brake-to-vacate program leader. Between 2002 and 2006, experiments began using a laptop installed to deliver inputs to the braking and flight control systems on an A340-600. The first operational test came at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in March 2005, and the system first flew on the A380 in May last year. Airbus expects European certification this month when Lufthansa and Air France take delivery of their A380s. Thrust reversers are readied for all landings in case they are needed.
Before BTV, the autobrake system knew only that the pilot was trying to stop the airplane. Now, with artificial intelligence communicating with the FMS, it has the smarts to stop the aircraft at a particular point on the runway. Depending on the geometry of the target runway turnoff, BTV automatically disconnects at a different groundspeed–10 knots if the airplane has to exit the runway with a 90-degree turn, or 40 to 50 knots for a high-speed turnoff. Airbus predicts that CDG could handle 2,400 more flights per year once the system is operational. However, BTV does not factor wake-turbulence separation into its calculations.
Airbus test pilot Armand Jacob recalled an extreme test of BTV that addressed the issue of an emergency return to the airport. "We landed the A380 at 1.3 million pounds, about 40 tons over the certified maximum takeoff weight and 202 tons above maximum landing weight, all using normal procedures through BTV with maximum reverse. We found that the maximum brake temperature was about 400 degrees C, far below the 800 degrees C that would have deflated the tires."
The runway overrun protection is essentially a moving target constantly updated based on approach configuration and speeds. Once the system determines the aircraft could exceed the available landing distance, it shows a yellow warning–if wet, runway too short.
On a dry runway, the approach speed could mean the aircraft will not have sufficient stopping distance. It literally yells at the pilot in a clear male English voice–runway too short. If the pilot continues regardless, said Jacob, the system will do its best to stop the aircraft within the laws of physics and guide the pilot with demanding warnings such as, keep max reverse. When asked if Airbus might datalink actual braking conditions to succeeding aircraft, the company's noncommittal reply was "possibly."
TCAS Technique Improvements
Another major Airbus development is its effort to get the autopilot and flight director more involved in TCAS conflict resolution. The company believes these two resources are currently much underused. Airbus AP/FD TCAS project leader Paule Botargues reminded pilots that currently, TCAS resolution requires the pilot to disconnect the autopilot and flight director before taking action. She explained that "many pilots are overreacting, leading to personal injuries in the cabin and excessive load factors on the aircraft. Some pilots are actually taking the wrong actions to resolve the conflict."
Flying by reference to the vertical-speed indicator, as dictated by current TCAS alert response protocol, is an unfamiliar operational mode. The new TCAS system will provide guidance through the flight director if the autopilot is off. If the autopilot is already on, the system will control the resolution with no need for the pilot to disconnect anything or make any control inputs. The expected benefits are fewer passenger injuries and less overstressing of the aircraft structure during resolution advisories. The new Airbus TCAS system uses equipment already in place and reduces pilot workload. The system maintains a climb rate of within 200 fpm of what is required and raises structural loading by no more than 0.3 gs to make it all work smoothly. Sensitive to pilots' concerns about rampant automation, Airbus says the crew can always override the airplane.
Airbus used one million encounters with eight different categories of aircraft to validate the new TCAS system, which the company believes will increase safety by a factor of two. Based on the logic of TCAS v 7.0, it will offer the safety enhancements comparable to what is expected with v 7.1. Airbus expects EASA certification next month for the A380, with approval for the A320 series and A330/340 following within the next couple of years. No date has been determined for FAA approval.
Flying the A380
Aviation journalists typically frame pilot reports from the perspective of their experiences with similar aircraft, but little can prepare a pilot for the sense of awe that comes from simply standing on the ramp at Toulouse looking at the largest airliner in the world. The cockpit towers about 25 feet above those on the ground. Flying the A380, however, meant there would be little to call upon to keep this behemoth in perspective. Never having flown an aircraft with autobrakes either–other than a short stint in the Boeing BBJ–I'd need to remember to steer but not touch the brakes.
The ramp in front of the A380 reminded me of a beehive, with a swarm of ground personnel checking everything–the landing gear (all 22 wheels and tires), the engine oil levels and every other aspect of the fuselage and wings that are out of reach from a pilot on his ground walkround.
Reaching the main cabin level with no jetway meant climbing a standard four-foot-wide stairway pushed against the side of the fuselage. The cockpit is another few stairs up from there, the upper cabin is a few more steps above and behind the pilots. The cockpit of the A380 is massive by any measure, with some two-and-a-half feet of space between the two pilots once they're seated. In addition to three jumpseats, we had as many as seven people moving about behind us in flight after we switched off the seatbelt signs. Since MSN 001 is a test bed, the cabin on both levels was fitted out only with test equipment and water ballast tanks.
With several pilots planning to try their hand at the A380, the plan was to demonstrate the brake-to-vacate to each of us, then land and switch seats during the taxi back to Runway 32L at Toulouse. The runway is 11,483 feet long by 246 feet wide. Takeoff weight was calculated as 846,575 pounds, considerably below the maximum of just over 1.2 million pounds. All the avionics were already up and running as we pushed back from the gate. The engines, started two at a time, are so far aft of the cabin that the gauges are the only indication of what is happening in the back. Even with the engines running, the noise level in the A380 cockpit was no more than in a regular automobile with the windows rolled up. Only Lelaie's interactions with the ground crew and ATC from the right seat broke the silence.
Taxiing the A380 is not nearly the challenge I had anticipated. The aircraft is equipped with two video cameras, one built into the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer–it delivers a spectacular view guaranteed to wow anyone sitting in the back of the airplane–and another under the belly a few feet behind the nose gear.
Calling up each on the pilot's multifunction display makes it easy to use the tiller to keep the nose gear on the centerline. With the outer main gear trunnions separated by just 46 feet–a footprint only slightly wider than that of a 747-400–the pilot will find it easy to nail the centerline.
V1 was calculated as 127 knots, VR 130 and V2 as 136, so any decision to abort would be problematic. In this configuration, however, the A380 would fly even if two engines quit on takeoff.
The day's flight plan called for each demo pilot to take the left seat to view a demonstration of the updated TCAS, which was programmed with enough pseudo targets to fool the A380's conflict system and trigger the automated response. The final landing of the day was planned as an all-out maximum braking effort to demonstrate what a pilot might experience should he ignore the computer's call of runway too short and land anyway, or possibly during an emergency arrival like the one detailed by Armand Jacob. Since that effort would produce maximum brake heating, there would be only a single demonstration, with all the guest pilots observing from the jumpseats.
The side-stick controls open up much real estate in the cockpit (as Airbus and Dassault Falcon 7X already know), and it's beyond me why anyone would continue to want a control column and wheel in front of them.
The strangest part of flying a very large aircraft is the loss of a degree of depth perception and a relation to speed. On takeoff, I brought the thrust levers up about one quarter, to be certain the four Rolls-Royce Trent 900s were stabilized for acceleration. But there was precious little sense of acceleration–some force pushed me back in the seat as I moved the levers to takeoff power, but not as much as I had expected, as I steered with the tiller to remain on the runway centerline. Despite the diminished sensation of acceleration, the A380 reached V1 in what seemed like no more than 10 seconds and rotation speed shortly thereafter. Looking out through the expansive cockpit windows, it seemed we were too slow to fly, but rotate we did with a slight pull on the sidestick to reach a 15-degree pitch angle. The A380 virtually leapt off the ground. At positive rate, I called for gear up and soon we were accelerating to 200 knots for the brief demonstration flight. I tried some 30- to 40-degree-bank turns before leveling off at 3,000 feet, and was amazed at how easy the three-quarter-million-pound-plus aircraft was to maneuver with simply a few movements of my left wrist.
Now level, I punched the autopilot on so I could pay close attention to Lelaie's brake-to-vacate demonstration. Summoning the correct page on the multi-function display is easy thanks to the trackball that rests at a comfortable position beneath the pilot's right hand. We selected S-8 at Toulouse–2,300 meters down–as our exit point for the first time around, which meant that if I was on the mark, we would have about 7,500 feet to stop the aircraft and turn off. The key is to set autobrakes to auto and let the system figure out the rest. The pilot is expected to add maximum reverse and keep the aircraft on the centerline but do nothing else until 10 knots, at which speed the system will automatically disconnect. Even with the autopilot off, the A380 was extremely light and easy to control down the ILS to touchdown. Once on the ground for the first landing, I pulled the reversers out and stayed on the pedals but off the brakes. The giant aircraft slowed until I disconnected the system about 10 feet from the S-8 intersection.
Another test involved trying the runway overrun protection system by creating an artificially short runway in the flight management system. On short final, the technology calculated the touchdown zone and, based on our speed, concluded we'd never get it stopped. On short final at about 200 feet, it began yelling runway too short in a tone that was clear in its urgency. This would be the signal for a pilot to go around.
The final landing was a maximum-performance arrival targeting the closest intersection possible at Toulouse, S-6, approximately 1,650 meters (5,413 feet) from the start of the runway. Once the A380 was programmed, another pilot this time flew to short final, crossing the fence at ref speed. After touching down, he called for maximum reverse while the A380 worked the brakes. The first five seconds were exciting as the aircraft decelerated rapidly, and everyone in the cockpit applauded as we easily made S-6. Brake temperatures never exceeded 400 degrees C. On a low-visibility landing, it would have made for an impressive demonstration as well.
As a point of reference, the A380 uses reverse thrust on only the two inboard engines because of the aircraft's vast wingspan. Engines one and four might well be so close to the outside edges of the runway, or even hanging outside the concrete area, that Airbus worried about FOD damage to those outer powerplants when in reverse.
During the TCAS demonstration, we climbed to FL100 in the Airbus practice area near Toulouse. With the aircraft fully coupled to the flight director and autopilot, TCAS traffic targets were generated by the A380 software significant enough to allow the aircraft to follow the commands. At the first sign of traffic, the system displayed a TCAS alert light to advise the crew that, should the target become a resolution advisory (RA), it would automatically move our airplane out of the way using the autopilot and autothrottles. When the traffic indeed became an RA, the power came up and the airplane smoothly entered a climb to match the TCAS command, much faster than a pilot would most likely have accomplished the same. But the most important element was how smoothly the autopilot/flight director combination made the aircraft climb, and how smoothly the A380 returned to its original altitude when clear of traffic. Another TCAS demo demanded the aircraft first descend and then almost immediately climb back to avoid another aircraft beneath us. The airplane certainly performed these maneuvers more smoothly than a human could have.
Computers versus People
Airbus firmly believes that maneuvering a big aircraft with pilot muscle power is no longer a good use of resources–especially since Airbus computers can take much of the mental gymnastics out of the equation, giving pilots more time for big-picture decisions. BTV is sure to be in the vanguard of efforts to increase runway capacity, with runway overrun protection evolving as a valuable corollary to the thinking process in Toulouse.
The notion that the autopilot can resolve TCAS conflicts better than a hand-flying pilot is so simple that one wonders why it took this long to come to fruition. Watch for these systems to appear on a business airplane near you soon.

When I first received the package I thought it wasn't going to fit my car until I unrolled it. It was beautiful brush black suede. It fit my Dash like a glove so happy I brought it.
Super !
Fits perfectly to my 2017 Accord
Reviewed by Jaehoon P (Yorktown, VA) Reviewed for a 2017 Honda Accord — Tuesday at 9:02 PM
The cover sits on my dashboard without velco that came with it. Great fit, even though air vents on far right and left seem to be narrow causing possible degradation of fog elimination on the side windows. In general, looks good with my Accord, and I am happy with my purchase.
Love it! Fits great

New York (Jul. 23)
Writing in the French weekly, "Pour La Victoire," today, Henri de Kerillis, former French deputy and writer, attempts to link the DeGaullist movement with the anti-Semitic sections of the Algerian population and implies that the DeGaullists were responsible for the abrogation of the Cremieux Law by General Giraud, which took French citizenship from Algerian Jews.
"As to anti-Semitism," (among the DeGaullists), De Kerillis writes, "if it is not apparent in London and New York, it manifests itself in Algiers in the sudden meeting of Gaullism and an anti-Semitic French population. There is an example in the attitude suddenly taken towards the Cremieux Law, which the Gaullists no longer want, or the enforcement of which they have, at all events, delayed two months, after having used it in America as the war-cry of their propaganda against Giraud…"

You will have multiple opportunities to become involved in the theater department's activities and production season. We produce three main stage performances through the course of the academic year, plus a series of senior major capstone projects or performances. One of our main stage productions is a musical theater work, produced in collaboration with the music department.
Acting auditions for the productions are held at the beginning of each semester. Announcements are posted throughout campus, and emailed to any student wishing to be on the department email list. Students are active in all aspects of production — from performing to stage-managing to working backstage. You do not have to be a theater major or minor to audition for productions and freshmen are often cast. If you have an interest in technical theater or stage management, please let us know and we will find a way to accommodate your interest. Learn more about student theater auditions.
Senior Major Capstones
Each year, senior majors have an opportunity to produce or collaborate on a project, representing a culmination of their work in the major. Possibilities include solo performance, an advanced directing or playwriting project, a design project or a major research paper. These capstones are undertaken as major independent studies or honors theses, are faculty mentored, and provide opportunities for other students as well. If you are interested in proposing a capstone project for your senior year, you should plan on developing your concept during the spring of your junior year, with faculty consultation.
Student Advisory Board
Other opportunities to get involved include serving on the theater department's Student Advisory Board, a student group that advises the department on curriculum, staffing and other aspects of the theater program. Student Advisory Boards have hosted alumni events featuring a performance and discussion of "The Rise and Fall of Miles and Milo" by Sara Farrington (Asselin) '03, and a discussion of theater and politics with professors Nancy Hoffman (Theater), David Canton (History) and Bill Rose (Government).
Reading Committee
The Reading Committee, a group composed of both theater faculty and students, selects options for the theater department's main stage season, including the musical selection. This group considers the types and genres of theater the department should produce over the course of any student's stay at the College, and the range of playwrights and forms of theatrical performance we should challenge ourselves to undertake. Serving on this committee is a unique opportunity for direct involvement in the shaping of our production season.
Wig and Candle
Wig and Candle is an active student theater organization that stages a variety of plays and performances throughout the academic year and provides further opportunities for students to direct, act, stage manage and produce. Recent years have seen 24-Hour Theater, a marathon of writing, directing and acting; 48-Hour Musical, the creation of short musicals in two days; cabaret evenings; a student-directed production of "Putnam County Spelling Bee"; and a student written and composed original musical based on Friday the 13th.

Walmart slashes price of iPhone 4 by $50
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Hot Deals
Just about 90 minutes before the WWDC 2011 keynote is to begin, a Walmart rep just dropped me an email letting me know that they've dropped the price of the iPhone 4 by $50. Starting today through June 30, you can grab an iPhone 4 for $147. This applies to both the AT&T and Verizon models, in both black and white. Of course, this pricing requires a two-year contract. Very interesting, as we aren't expecting any iPhone 5 hardware news this morning at WWDC--does Walmart know something we don't?

Besse Cooper, our world's oldest person, died in a Monroe, Georgia nursing home Wednesday, aged 116. She leaves behind four children, 11 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
"With her hair fixed it looked like she was ready to go," Cooper's son told the Associated Press.
Besse Cooper married Luther Cooper in 1924. He died in 1963. She never remarried.
The great, great grandmother and former schoolteacher lived through 21 presidencies, from Grover Cleveland to President Obama's second term. CNN points out she voted in every presidential election, except two - at least, after the 19th Amendment was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920.
Her often quoted secret to longevity: "I mind my own business...and I don't eat junk food."
In January 2011, Guinness World Records certified Cooper humankind's eldest, though there were 48 days when Brazilian Maria Gomes Valentin was discovered to be 48 days older. Valentin passed June 21.
The world's oldest title now passes to a young woman from Johnston, Iowa, 115-year-old Dina Manfredini.

Raleigh, N.C. — Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week continues through this Sunday, and each morning WRAL-TV will feature a participating restaurant.
Today we're showcasing Zinda, an Asian restaurant on Fayetteville Street. Zinda is offering a $30 three-course dinner menu for Restaurant Week, along with a $10 wine pairing option. The menu features delicious and flavorful dishes such as Miso Glazed Scallops over seared pork belly with Brussels sprouts, Hong Kong Pan Fried Noodles and Mango Mousse Parfait Cake. Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week: Zinda
Chef A.J. Faung shared the recipe of one of his Restaurant Week menu items with us – Shanghai Red Cooked Pork. The dish has a nice balance of flavors and is based on traditional cooking styles, but presented in a modern way.
- 1 1/2 pounds pork belly or shoulder cut in 2 inch squares
- 2 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons regular soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon 5-spice powder
Combine ingredients and let marinate overnight.
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Shao Xing wine or dry sherry
- 3 Tablespoons regular soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 quarter sized pieces of sliced ginger
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Tablespoons oil
Heat oil in a skillet. Brown marinated pork on all sides. In a medium sauce pan add oil, cook garlic, ginger, star anise and cinnamon for 5 minutes until fragrant. Add all remaining ingredients with browned pork. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes to an hour until pork is fork tender. Serve with blanched Chinese broccoli.
